Living With A Significant Other – A Year LaterWednesday, January 18, 2017
It's been approximately fifteen months since I moved in with my boyfriend of three years (well, three years next month) and I thought I'd share with you some of the things I have learnt, the best and worst things about living together, and finally whether it's all worth it.
- He has learnt that not all girls are really neat and tidy, and that I am just as messy as he is with my belongings
- He has learnt a lot more about mental health through watching me work my way through it (I used to hide it away and cry by myself at night, but now I have him to share my experiences with)
- He has learnt how difficult it can be to juggle lots of big things in his life; keeping on top of work as well as university was pretty full on, let alone having a (crazy) girlfriend around 24/7 to focus and spend time with
- I have learnt about how sweet-hearted boys can be, even though he is still learning, how he is able to handle me when I am very mentally ill still blows me away
- Sometimes you have to do things that you would rather not so that you can spend time with the other person as can mean the world to them; things like running errands, watching a "girlie movie" or keeping them company in the kitchen as they cook their own food
Sure, we have seen (and you probably have too) a fair few couples who have moved in and lived together but then their relationship either crashed and burned or fizzled out; but we think we are on the right track. For both of us this is our first "proper" relationship, but it all just feels so right and that moving in was a great decision.
Fun fact; I actually asked him a year before we moved in together if he wanted to but he didn't feel ready, and looking back on it, it would have not gone very well if we did end up moving in together that year before, as neither of us would have been ready. Living together makes things so much easier, but it is also a true test of your relationship; you're forced to co-inhabit the same space and share the same things which can make the waters shaky.
Moving in together was a great decision and neither of us regret it!
2 comments
My boyfriend and I are celebrating two years in March and since we live about a 40min drive apart we're thinking moving in together would be so much easier. Plus while we're at each others houses we practically do all the coupley things that come with moving in together, like cooking and chores and things. My boyfriend has also been my best supporter in my mental health journey too, and I can't wait to find a place of our own <3ReplyDeleteReplies
40mins away must be really annoying, really close but not quite close enough. Just before we moved in, my boyfriend and I lived like a 5-10min walk away and it was just so frustrating, it just made sense. I have to say that it is a massive change sharing the same space together when you share a bedroom. It's fantastic that your boyfriend is such a great supporter regarding your mental health, from what I've seen online he seems like a wonderful person!Delete

Nuance combines the tradition of home-made beauty treatments in modern formulations. Some of the products include ingredients such as tepezcohuite (from Brazil), blue agave, and a lime enzyme that are making their debuts on the mass market.
"I wanted to create a line of premium beauty products that were both effective and affordable using the ingredients and knowledge passed down to me from my grandmother" --Salma Hayek
I think that the packaging is quite appealing, and if the packaging doesn't do it for you--maybe the price point will--The collection is priced from $2.99 to $19.99!
hmmm..I think I might just have to pick a few products up on my next CVS run--what do you think?

The concept of pages not linking to themselves is not new – but if you're using Dreamweaver-style templates there's a bit of extra work to make that happen.
The Man in Blue posted an article about using CSS to make it appear that the page was not linking to itself, which received a mixed response. Inventive, but not really a complete solution. One of his readers then posted a javascript solution which loops through the page and removes any self-links automatically.
Clever thinking!
And that got me thinking… (Dangerous, I know)

Producer Jamie Smith, otherwise known as Jamie xx, is one of the most quietly influential artists of the last decade. The xx's self-titled 2009 debut brokered a brilliant one-night stand between trip-hop and late-Aughts indie pop. A relationship further consummated by We're New Here, Jamie xx's 2011 collaboration with Gil Scott-Heron. It was a gorgeous 21st century sound — reverb suffused with breakbeats, pregnant pauses preempted by disembodied vocal samples, silence as a crucial musical instrument. This was Noir & B. A new musical language of intimacy, both in sound and in content. Since then—from Rihanna to Drake to London Grammar—that aesthetic has become a critical component of modern pop songcraft. The natural culmination of his prior successes, Jamie xx's solo debut In Colour is his most mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful work yet.
In Colour is a raver's Bon Iver, Bon Iver. A collection of emotionally evocative soundscapes punctuated by more conventionally structured compositions. This is a record for headphones. Its grooves are deeply cut, its tumbling sonic swathes all-encompassing. It's an ear candy confection of the highest order. In Colour pushes Smith's boundaries forward, embracing DJ and rave culture for a more nocturnal, omnivorous sound. The record flits between grime and spacey disco, gloomy greyscale and dayglo funk, for a woozy night out in the London underground and within Jamie xx's own head.
Smith has always been a DJ and remix artist, but his clubbier tendencies have never been more explicit than on In Colour. Finally, Jamie xx has a chance to flex his turntable muscles and the results are quite compelling. Eerie, whirring opener "Gosh" is the perfect table setter, incorporating excited English football commentary into a shuffling, slow-building electro number. Anything goes in this discotheque. Spectral vocal samples swirl and shimmer like ghosts in the machine on the skittering "Sleep Sound" and grand closer "Girl". These songs aren't nearly as frenetic or immediate as typical club tracks, but it would be reductive to view these minimalist numbers as templates for future remixes. In fact, the glacial grandeur of Jamie xx's compositions often lies in their restraint. When Smith does in fact go for heavier techno sounds, he emerges with something else entirely. The pummeling, industrial "Hold Tight" resembles a recent Trent Reznor film score outtake.
Even as it pursues a dancier sound, fans of the xx will find plenty to love on In Colour. "Obvs" and "The Rest Is Noise" indulge in trademark xx elements. The former is a steel drum colossus, the latter a late-night drive of beautifully layered guitar and handclaps. Then, of course, there are welcome familiar faces in vocal appearances from xx bandmates Romy Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim. Maddeningly but wisely, Jamie xx keeps the two singers on separate tracks like ex-lovers marooned in different rooms by an overanxious party host. The metaphor of "Seesaw" is an almost childishly simple one, but Madley-Croft's breathy exhalations make it work. Even better is Sim's sinewy croon on "Stranger in a Room", the closest that In Colour comes to producing an exact Coexist replica. All pale in comparison, though, to the sublime "Loud Places". Madley-Croft and Smith construct a masterful last dance as religious communion, a self-empowering moment in which Romy's "stranger in a room" is enraptured by a Greek chorus of club kids. It's the album's emotional and musical apex and a frontrunner for one of the best songs of the year.
I'd be remiss not to mention the beguilingly catchy "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)", a bright wind-chimes dancehall number aided by Popcaan and the polarizing Young Thug. The rapper's gleeful sexual entendres and the sunny Persuasions sample make for a clear outlier among In Colour's otherwise dusky haze, but there doesn't really need to be an explanation for this one. "Good Times" is a stellar summer song that throws the gloom of its predecessors into even starker contrast. The track doesn't particularly belong on In Colour, but the album couldn't exist without it.
In Colour exists between the hours of 1 and 6 AM. Somewhere between all-consuming intimacy and complete loneliness. That moment when the night has faded but the dawn has not yet emerged. Like much of Jamie xx's body of work, it's a chronicle of distance, both romantic and musical, a swooning love song for beat-loving introverts and sensitive ravers. More importantly though, the record takes a generous step beyond simply pleasing those demographics, opting instead for a broad palette that should both delight old fans and entice new fans alike. Jamie xx has conceived an impressive body electric onto which pillow-talkers can graft their own emotional gulfs. So go ahead, get lost in the record's cavernous canvas and allow yourself to feel something. The rest is noise.
In Colour is out now on MP3, CD, and vinyl.

Thematic areas
To support States parties' efforts to fully implement the United Nations Convention against Corruption, UNODC delivers technical assistance in various corruption-related thematic areas, such as prevention, education, asset recovery, integrity in the criminal justice system, etc.
The common wisdom has it that "Prevention is better than cure". It is particularly true when public trust, effectiveness of institutions and security of the State are threatened by corruption. The importance of preventing corruption is recognized in Chapter II of the United Nations Convention against Corruption: the first substantive Chapter of the Convention. Read more»
International Cooperation
Successful international cooperation is required to eradicate the corrosive effects of corruption. The United Nations Convention against Corruption offers a strong framework for the States to engage in international cooperation at both the informal and formal levels. Read more»
Asset Recovery
The process of tracing, freezing, confiscating and returning the stolen assets to their country of origin is usually a complex and lengthy one, involving multiple jurisdictions and often complicated by technical, legal or political barriers. Read more»
Education is a crucial element in any attempt to effectively address the phenomenon of corruption. Through increased knowledge of the risks of corruption and its effects, it is possible to foster attitudes that do not tolerate corruption and develop skills that allow for individuals to resist social and cultural pressures when faced with corrupt practices. Read more»
Integrity in the Justice Sector
A serious impediment to the success of any anti-corruption efforts are corrupt justice sector institutions. Ethically compromised justice sector institutions mean that the legal and institutional mechanisms designed to curb corruption, however well-targeted, efficient or honest, remain crippled. Read more»
Private Sector
The evolving international legal framework and the rapid development of corporate governance rules around the world are prompting companies to focus on anti-corruption measures as an essential component of their efforts to protect their reputation and the interests of their investors and shareholders. Read more»
Corruption in specific areas
Close linkages exist between corruption and various specific areas, such as sports or wildlife and forest crime. UNODC explores these linkages with the aim to increase the understanding of the far-reaching impact of corruption and to support States in developing effective and targeted responses. Read more»
Economic Fraud and Identity-related Crime
All over the world, societies are increasingly reliant on identification information. Identity-related information about individuals is used e.g. for banking, shopping, travelling and collecting social assistance. Increasingly, such information also includes biometric information. Read more»

I was browsing lawyer BAR association ethic rules. I came across an interesting bit. Lawyers are barred from accepting contingency-fee arrangements in criminal trials!
In a contingency-fee arrangement, a lawyer only gets paid if he wins.
Contingency-fee arrangements are common in civil trials. The lawyer is paid a percentage of any money collected, receiving nothing if he loses.
In some areas, State thugs encourage frivolous lawsuits. For patents, copyrights, and "civil rights" lawsuits, a prevailing plaintiff lawyer receives attorney fees, in addition to monetary damages. This encourages a lawsuit in cases where actual damages are small. This provides the lawsuit victim/defendant an incentive to settle. A victorious defendant does not recover legal fees as easily as a victorious plaintiff.
Suppose I were frivolously charged with a crime. By lawyer ethics standards, I'm barred from signing a contract with my lawyer that says he gets paid only if I'm acquitted. It's a frivolous charge. Why should I pay if my lawyer does a lousy job and I'm convicted?
The State bars criminal defense lawyers from accepting contingency-fee arrangements. The lawyer's interest is *COMPLETELY DIVORCED* from his client's interest. The lawyer's goal is to maximize hours billed. It makes no difference if his client is convicted or acquitted. In fact, the lawyer gets to bill more if the client is convicted. The lawyer gets to argue sentencing and maybe appeals.
Lawyers work for the State first and the client second. A criminal defense lawyer isn't going to sacrifice his career to keep someone out of jail. In many ways, a criminal defense lawyer is an assistant prosecutor. If the judge insists, the defense lawyer will not introduce favorable evidence or make certain arguments.
For one example, a defendant was charged for violating Federal marijuana laws while operating a "medical marijuana" store, legal according to state law. The lawyer was barred from mentioning "It was a medical marijuana store!" during the trial. Jurors said they would have acquitted if they were told that. In effect, the defense lawyer sold out his client to the State. An honest lawyer would have refused to self-censor when defending his client. However, the lawyer was not willing to risk his career, to keep his defendant out of jail. In that trial, the lawyer was effectively an assistant prosecutor.
For another example, a criminal defense lawyer who mentioned "jury nullification" would be held in contempt of court. He would lose his law license, his career, and the $200k+ invested in law school. Criminal defense lawyers help provide the illusion of legitimacy to State "justice".
If accused of a crime, I'd try to represent myself. However, it's a tough decision. If I'm imprisoned and tortured for months before the trial, that would adversely affect my ability to explain effectively. The State "justice" system is biased against pro se defendants.
However, when a pro se defendant says "Your authority isn't legitimate! This trial is a sham!", that has an effect on the judge and prosecutor. No matter how pro-State brainwashed you are, it's unsettling to see someone pointing out how it's all a scam. Some judges brag about their ability to handle "tough" trials, where the victim is a nonviolent offender who questions the legitimacy of the prosecution.
You don't get picked to be a Federal judge, unless you're pretty thoroughly brainwashed as a pro-State troll. What percentage of "crimes" are really victimless nonviolent crimes? I suspect it's a large percentage, but I haven't seen any statistics.
I was surprised to notice that criminal defense lawyers are barred from making contingency-fee arrangements. The State thinks of everything! By banning contingency-fee arrangements, the interests of the lawyer are completely divorced from the interests of the client.
A lawyer is required to act for the State first, and himself second. The client is a distant third. The lawyer will try to defend the client, but without compromising the State or his future career. This makes a lawyer useless in politically-motivated trials, where the defendant's main argument is "This law is immoral!"

Contingency-Fee Criminal Lawyers
I was browsing lawyer BAR association ethic rules. I came across an interesting bit. Lawyers are barred from accepting contingency-fee arrangements in criminal trials!

In civil cases, a certain number of plaintiffs will float a bad case just for an out-of-court settlement. There is never any intention that it goes anywhere.
To make up for the lack of content, the plaintiff's lawyer will make lots of threats and huff-and-puff to drawn attention away from the lack of a case.
When a non-lawyer reads a letter, all he or she "sees" is the threats.
When a lawyer reads a letter he/she looks for evidence.
Lawyers know this and so pad out dodgy demand letters with threats rather than law references or evidence.
Pay up now they will say or you will have to pay my expensive lawyer's fees.
If you go to a lawyer in a civil case, your lawyer will tell the other side how much money you have so they know whether it is worth suing you.
I've seen on other websites, comments by people that they are surprised one of the first questions they are asked by their lawyer is how much money they have. This question comes before actually working out whether a valid case exists or not against them.
If you have no money the case will mysteriously vanish.
If you have money, a case will materialize out of thin air and no evidence.
Once a sick joker tried to sue me. His case was rushed and he didn't do any research. Material publicly available proved their case was nonsense. I had hard documentary evidence the guy was at the very least LYING BY OMISSION. He had not one single scrap of evidence. I had lots against him and capable of being verified by several reputable and independent third parties.
I constantly phoned my lawyer to tell him to give this DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE to the other side.
He did not. This case against me could have disappeared with just one phone call.
But 2.5 months went by and nothing happened. The other side did not have the decency to tell us they have dropped the matter.
At some level it was dishonest.
I got the strange feeling my lawyer was trying to protect the other side's lawyer from being caught out lying at the least by omission.
My lawyer was useful in the fact he told me that the case will no nowhere.
But bad in the fact that we could have crushed the other side under the weight of their lies, but this did not happen.
If they were just trolling for free information, then there is the view you should not respond in any meaningful way other than to negate what they have presented.
You should not aim to educate them, just say enough to invalidate what they say.

The State legal system is a scam.

I think about legal system as of tennis. Prosecution is on one side and defense attorney is on the other. A defendant is a ball. Each time somebody hits a ball and defendant pays money. God forbid when prosecution kicks the ball to the defense attorney and a customer does not have any money. The analogy of tennis is useful because a) trial is just a game for prosecutor, defense and the judge. b) As long as a defendant has the money the game can continue forever c) All participants, excerpt the defendant enjoy the game.

As I said before, there should be standard flow charts for legal proceedings. Anyone who can read them should be able to connect the dots and work their case with or without an attorney. The entire process could be done by computer doing away with courtrooms altogether. A human judge/jury does the actual determination, etc. of course. Confronting your accuser could be totally virtual.
Imagine you are at a certain point in a trial, and you have a GUI with list of options that is context sensitive to the current state of the proceedings. Click, you have an objection, another click and you have a motion... and so on.

The rules of the legal system were written by lawyers. They have no interest in making the system accessible to non-lawyers.
There are plenty of ways to organize a more efficient legal system. The problem is that the State has a monopoly. Even if you could come up with a clever innovation, you can't implement it.

Creating a blog is very easy, but writing articles and getting indexed might proved tough. The success of every blogs lies on how the Search Engines find, rank and index it. On average, it takes 2 – several days to get indexed on Google and other Search engines while at times, it might take 24 hours. The point here is that we should build a blog that will be easy for our visitors to view and also easy for Search Engine bots to crawl.
In this blog post, I will be discussing with you 5 simple tips you should do to make your blog/website get indexed faster and easily.
Tip #1: Create and Submit an XML Sitemap
Although if you do not do this, your blog or website will still get indexed by search engines but to make it quick and easily crawled, we need to create an XML sitemap. It is very easier with WordPress. All you need do is to install a plugin for that. For me, I use the Google XML Sitemap for this blog. You can install it right from the Plugin page of your WP Dashboard or click here to download it from WordPress Plugin page.
However, if you do not use WordPress, you can also use an XML Sitemap. Go to XML-Sitemaps.com to create one for your website.
Then after creating this sitemap, you should then submit them to these three major search engines for better and faster crawling and indexing:
Google Webmaster Tools
Yahoo! Site Explorer
Bing Webmaster Tools
Go to the above websites one after the other, create an account if you do not have one yet and submit your blog/site's sitemap.
Tip #2. Blog Commenting & Forum Posting
This is one of the most effective type of link building which most bloggers are leaving out. Commenting on similar, authority blogs can boost your traffic, and rank on search engines because search engines will see your blog as a useful one. Let most of your blog comment be done on dofollow blogs. However, do not spam any blogs all in the name of getting indexed, backlinks and traffic. If you do, you might just be wasting your precious time because the blog owner might just delete your comments. So make a meaningful comment while leaving a link back to your blog. Make sure you put the link in the URL box and not in the comment body.
Just like in the blog commenting, forum posting is also effective. Go to different similar forums in your niche, make some good posts or articles, contribute to threads meaningfully, and leave your blog link in your Signature. This way you will get trusted readers to your blog and also getting a one-way backlink to your blog, hence getting good rank on search engines.
Do not spam any blog or forum, it will only get your post deleted, and all efforts will be wasted.
Tip #3. Use AddMe.com
Once I bought a new domain name, I usually use www.addme.com to submit the new domain name to different top 20 search engines. This way, it is easy and with no time, the domain will get indexed fast.
Tip #4. Use IsMySiteIndexed.com
Within 24 hours of using ismysiteindexed.com, your blog will get indexed by Google, Bing and Yahoo. Although, the site is designed in other to know if your blog or website has been indexed by the 3 top search engines (Google, Bing and Yahoo). The site get crawled hourly by search engines, so when you check to see if your website is indexed, the search engine spiders are immediately sent to your website. Using this alone is usually what it takes to get your site indexed quickly.
Tip #5. Use Socail Bookmarking Sites
Make use of the various social bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Mixx, Delicious, etc to get indexed on search engines fast. This is effective because social bookmarking sites are always updated so search engines bots tend to crawl them regularly.
Those are the simple tips you can use in getting your blog/website indexed within 24 hours of creation. I want to believe this post is helpful, if so, share it with your facebook friends, twitter followers and in google+ circles.

To do that, just drop your email address in the box provided below. That is the update for now from SOJblog.com.

Movie Reviews
One of the 2003's best
Jay M | Dublin, Ireland | 01/18/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This album just came out of nowhere. Hailed as 'the next big thing' by the media (which usually spells creative disaster for an artist), Colder thankfully did prove to be a superb artist and he has made an excellent album.Sounding like nothing else this year, or even previous years for that matter, 'Again' stands out as something special in an uninspired market.One thing I liked about it especially was that critics found it hard to classify it into any musical genre. Good enough for them, why does everything have to be placed into a 'genre' and classified!Musically though it is really special. The opener 'Crazy Love' is wonderful, a horn-type synth motif backed by an early 80's type guitar line, it evolves into a forboding track. Try listening to it in the dark, it gives a feeling of almost hallucinationagenic imagination. You can let your mind run free to this music.Elsewhere there is the dub-tinged 'One Night in Tokyo' is a solid track, 'Version' is all building guitar noise into a sublime percussion-led track and the song 'Colder' itself is very Cabaret Voltaire-ish and good for it too. If you're looking for something that little bit special or out there from the rest, try this out. The best I can do to tell you what it is like is to say that it's a mix between new wave, dub, punk, electronica and pop. I told you it was hard to describe! I don't like comparing it to other group's work, because I feel that would lessen the creative edge that went into these songs."
Post-Punk Revisited (3.5/5)
M. Starr | Kansas City | 05/26/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Last year Interpol was plagued by a never-ending comparison to Joy Division. Fans of the band, and the band themselves, have heard way too much of this. To some extent, this topic is still ongoing. For Interpol, though, the weight is about to be lifted off their shoulders by European solo artist, Marc Nguyen. To say Colder reeks of Joy Division is not only an understatement, but probably the only way to fully describe what Again sounds like. It's becoming more and more apparent that maybe there was a lot more to the early 80's post-punk movement than we all thought. There's an ever-growing list of bands trying to jump on the eighties train, but Colder may be one that has nailed this sound with greatest of ease. The opening track, "Crazy Love," is so in touch with the early Factory Records days, that one could possibly argue that it's the long lost brother of an early New Order album. By "One Night in Tokyo," however, I began to be a little let down by the sudden change of paths. The song takes on a dub reggae approach and really shies away from a good thing. Needless to say, it heavily burdens the cohesion of Again and, quite truthfully, hurts the overall possibility of it being one of the year's best albums. "Shiny Star" begins to slowly pull Again back to its original idea. With "Silicone Sexy," Nguyen showcases yet another band that has influenced him by way of no-wave pioneers, Suicide. Not until you hear two of the better songs on the album, "Where" and "The Slow Descent," do you truly realize that this is a great album and sounds exactly like every record you loved from the period of its influences. Again is probably one of the most derivative albums I've ever heard. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. At times I was kind of surprised that Nguyen would make such obvious nods to his favorite bands, yet once I was able to get past this I began to accept it as an album that came out in 1980 rather than focusing on the fact that it just hit shelves several weeks ago."

Most students find definition essays to be difficult to write about. This is because the paper requires that you write a personal and at the same time academic definition of a particular work. You are supposed to write a lengthy as well as thorough definition. When your teacher has given you an option to choose the word, you should ensure that you make the right choice of a word that will offer you plenty of materials to write about. At other times, you will be given a particular word and be asked to write a definition essay on the same. One word that you can be asked to write an essay on is friendship. Here are a few tips on how to approach such an essay. Writing a definition essay on friendship is not as difficult as it seems as this is already a term that you are familiar with. You already have a basic concept and experience with this term. This makes the essay easy to write unlike when given an unfamiliar term such as "pedantic".
While checking on the dictionary will give you only a limited definition of the word, it can also be helpful. Even though you will not rely on the dictionary to write your essay, you need to understand the official definition of the terms friendship. This will enable you to compare your understanding of the term with its academic explanation.
You will need some background information on the term. Some of the resources that you can use for this purpose include the Oxford English Dictionary or any other etymology dictionary. The good thing with these sources is that they also offer background information on the way the word came into being.
Separate the different parts of the word. Analyze each of them and define the different parts into different paragraphs. For instance, it is possible to separate the term friendship" into "friends" and "ship". When trying to analyze different parts of the word, you can use other defining methods like classification and negation. This is an effective method for defining words such as friendship that have multiple parts.
Specify which parts and terms of speech that are used in the word as per the definition of the standard dictionary. Even though this information may seem dry and basic, it can offer helpful context on the use of a particular word.

Trump's Best-Laid Scheme Goes Terribly Terribly Wrong

Consciousness and Healing
1st Edition
Integral Approaches to Mind-Body Medicine
This collection of essays on integral medicine, consciousness, and healing integrates mainstream medical knowledge with recent developments in the emerging areas of frontier sciences and insights from alternative healing perspectives. It promotes a model of healing in which personal relationships, emotions, meaning, and belief systems are viewed as fundamental points of connection between body, mind, spirit, society, and nature. Integral medicine embraces the recognition that human beings possess emotional, spiritual, and relational dimensions that are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and the cultivation of wellness.
Readers learn from the leaders in the emerging field of integral medicine and consciousness research, from the most well known (Deepak Chopra), to the frontline policy makers (James Gordon—one of the heads of the White House Commission on Conventional and Complementary and Alternative Medicine). Readers also gain insights from health professionals who have experienced healing within themselves and witnessed remarkable healing in their patients. We hear from other medical professionals (through the essays and the interviews on the accompanying DVD) who approach medicine from an array of cultural perspectives, and can attest to this multicultural, interdisciplinary, and participatory healing system in action. Consciousness and Healing contains 47 essays in the book plus 9 bonus essays read aloud on the DVD. Essays are short and in language suited to an audience of both lay and professional readers, with extensive references on the DVD to original scientific studies for those interested in further exploration.
Key Features
- The most comprehensive and authoritative collection of work on the subject of healing.
- Joins subjective mind-body experiences with evidence-based research.

Folk-lore And Legends: North American Indian
In a large village there lived a noted belle, or Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa,
who was the admiration of all the young hunters and warriors. She
was particularly admired by a young man who, from his good figure
and the care he took in his dress, was called the Beau-Man, or
Ma-mon-da-gin-in-e. This young man had a friend and companion whom
he made his confidant.
"Come," said he one day, in a sportive mood, "let us go a-courting to
her who is so handsome, perhaps she may fancy one of us."
She would, however, listen to neither of them; and when the handsome
young man rallied her on the coldness of her air, and made an effort
to overcome her indifference, she repulsed him with the greatest
contempt, and the young man retired confused and abashed. His sense of
pride was deeply wounded, and he was the more piqued because he had
been thus treated in the presence of others, and this affair had been
noised about in the village, and became the talk of every lodge
circle. He was, besides, a very sensitive man, and the incident so
preyed upon him that he became moody and at last took to his bed. For
days he would lie without uttering a word, with his eyes fixed on
vacancy, and taking little or no food. From this state no efforts
could rouse him. He felt abashed and dishonoured even in the presence
of his own relatives, and no persuasions could induce him to rise, so
that when the family prepared to take down the lodge to remove he
still kept his bed, and they were compelled to lift it from above his
head and leave him upon his skin couch. It was a time of general
removal and breaking up of the camp, for it was only a winter
hunting-camp, and as the season of the hunt was now over, and spring
began to appear, his friends all moved off as by one impulse to the
place of their summer village, and in a short time all were gone, and
he was left alone. The last person to leave him was his boon companion
and cousin, who had been, like him, an admirer of the forest belle.
The hunter disregarded even his voice, and as soon as his steps died
away on the creaking snow the stillness and solitude of the wilderness
reigned around.
As soon as all were gone, and he could no longer, by listening, hear
the remotest sound of the departing camp, the Beau-Man arose.
Now this young man had for a friend a powerful guardian spirit or
personal manito, and he resolved, with this spirit's aid, to use his
utmost power to punish and humble the girl, for she was noted in her
tribe for her coquetry, and had treated many young men, who were
every way her equals, as she had treated this lover. He resolved on a
singular stratagem by way of revenge.
He walked over the deserted camp and gathered up all the cast-off bits
of soiled cloth, clippings of finery, and old clothing and ornaments,
which had either been left there as not worth carrying away, or
forgotten. These he carefully picked out of the snow, into which some
of them had been trodden, and collected in one place. These gaudy and
soiled stuffs he restored to their original beauty, and made of them a
coat and leggings, which he trimmed with beads, and finished and
decorated after the best fashion of his tribe. He then made a pair of
moccasins and garnished them with beads, a bow and arrows, and a
frontlet and feathers for the head. Having done this he searched about
for cast-out bones of animals, pieces of skin, clippings of dried
meat, and even dirt. Having cemented all this together he filled the
clothes with it, pressed the mass firmly in, and fashioned it,
externally, in all respects like a tall and well-shaped man. He put a
bow and arrows in its hands, and the frontlet on its head. Having
finished it he brought it to life, and the image stood forth in the
most favoured lineaments of his fellows. Such was the origin of
Moowis, or the Dirt-and-Rag Man.
"Follow me," said the Beau-Man, "and I will direct you how you shall
Moowis was, indeed, a very sightly person, and as the Beau-Man led him
into the new encampment where the girl dwelt, the many colours of his
clothes, the profusion of his ornaments, his manly deportment, his
animated countenance, drew all eyes to him. He was hospitably
received, both old and young showing him great attention. The chief
invited him to his lodge, and he was there treated to the moose's hump
and the finest venison.
No one was better pleased with the handsome stranger than
Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa. She fell in love with him at first sight, and he was
an invited guest at the lodge of her mother the very first evening of
his arrival. The Beau-Man went with him, for it was under his
patronage that he had been introduced, and, in truth, he had another
motive in accompanying him, for he had not yet wholly subdued his
feelings of admiration for the object against whom he had,
nevertheless, exerted all his necromantic power, and he held himself
ready to take advantage of any favourable turn which he secretly hoped
the visit might take in relation to himself. No such opportunity,
however, arose. Moowis attracted the chief attention, every eye and
heart was alert to entertain him. In this effort on the part of his
entertainers they had well-nigh brought about his destruction by
dissolving him into his original elements of rags, snow, and dirt, for
he was assigned the most prominent place near the fire, where he was
exposed to a heat that he could by no means endure. However, he warded
this calamity off by placing a boy between him and the fire; he
shifted his position frequently, and evaded, by dexterous manoeuvres
and timely remarks, the pressing invitation of his host to sit and
enjoy the warmth. He so managed these excuses as not only to conceal
his dread of immediate dissolution, but to secure the further
approbation of the fair forest girl, who was filled with admiration of
one who had so brave a spirit to endure the paralysing effects of
The visit proved that the rejected lover had well calculated the
effects of his plan. He withdrew from the lodge, and Moowis triumphed.
Before the Beau-Man left he saw him cross the lodge to the coveted
abinos, or bridegroom's seat. The dart which Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa had so
often delighted in sending to the hearts of her admirers she was at
length fated to receive. She had married an image.
As the morning began to break the stranger arose, adjusted his
warrior's plumes, and took his forest weapons to depart.
"I must go," said he, "for I have important work to do, and there are
many hills and streams between me and the object of my journey."
"I will go with you," said Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa.
"The journey is too long," replied her husband, "and you are ill able
to encounter the perils of the way."
"It is not so long but that I will go," answered his wife, "and there
are no dangers I will not share with you."
Moowis returned to the lodge of his master, and told him what had
occurred. For a moment pity took possession of the young man's heart.
He regretted that she whom he so loved should thus have thrown
herself away upon an image, a shadow, when she might have been the
mistress of the best lodge in the camp.
"It is her own folly," he said; "she has turned a deaf ear to the
counsels of prudence. She must submit to her fate."
The same morning Moowis set forth, and his wife followed him at a
distance. The way was rough and intricate, and she found that she
could not keep up with him, he walked so quickly. She struggled hard
and obstinately to overtake him, but Moowis had been for some time out
of sight when the sun rose and commenced upon his snow-formed body the
work of dissolution. He began to melt away and fall to pieces. As
Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa followed in his track she found piece after piece of
his clothing in the path. She first found his mittens, then his
moccasins, then his leggings, then his coat, and after that other
parts of his garments. As the heat unbound them the clothes also
returned to their filthy condition. Over rocks, through wind-falls,
across marshes, Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa pursued him she loved. The path
turned aside in all directions. Rags, bones, leather, beads, feathers,
and soiled ribbons she found, but caught no sight of Moowis. She spent
the day in wandering, and when evening came she was still alone. The
snow having now melted, she had completely lost her husband's track,
and she wandered about uncertain which way to go and in a state of
perfect despair. At length with bitter cries she lamented her fate.
"Moowis, Moowis," she cried, "nin ge won e win ig, ne won e win
ig!"--"Moowis, Moowis, you have led me astray, you are leading me
With this cry she wandered in the woods.
The cry of the lost Ma-mon-da-go-Kwa is sometimes repeated by the
village girls who have made of it a song--
Moowis! Moowis!
Forest rover,
Where art thou?
Ah! my bravest, gayest lover,
Guide me now.
Moowis! Moowis!
Ah! believe me,
List my moan:
Do not, do not, brave heart, leave me
All alone.
Moowis! Moowis!
Footprints vanished!
Whither wend I?
Fated, lost, detested, banished
Must I die!
Moowis! Moowis!
Whither goest thou,
Eye-bright lover?
Ah! thou ravenous bird that knowest,
I see thee hover,
Circling, circling
As I wander,
And at last
When I fall thou then wilt come
And feed upon my breast.

While dealing with a mental health crisis:
- Remain calm but act quickly
- Trust your instincts that the person may be in trouble.
- Listen without judgement.
- DO NOT PROMISE SECRECY - There is no confidentiality in life-threatening situations.
Once you have made contact, either escort them to the Counseling Services office during business hours or call the campus police and they will come to you. Never leave an actively suicial person alone. Remain with the person until help arrives.
- Be honest if you plan to call someone for the suicidal person.
- Make the call in their presence if possible.
- Validate someone's feelings and let them know there is help.
- You do not need to have all the answers, you just have to get help for the person.
Tips for dealing with a crisis
By being available, aware, and ready to listen, you can play an important role in helping an individual regain the emotional balance needed to cope and get back on track. You can approach the individual privately and offer to listen. Give the person you undivided attention. Listen and don't judge. Brainstorm possible solutions. Avoid telling the person what to do. Express your concern. Let the person talk. Give hope. Suggest - resources, family, and friends.
Be clear about your boundaries by maintaining respect for the individual and the nature of your relationship. If you are a peer, express your concern as a friend.
Referral to the Counseling department is appropriate when any of the following is happening:
- The problem is more serious than you feel comfortable handling
- You are very busy, stressed, or unable to effectively listen
- You have helped as much as you can and further assistance is needed
- You think your own feelings will interfere with your objectivity
- He or she admits there is a problem, but doesn't want to talk to you about it
- He or she asks for more information or help than you can provide
Your role doesn't end when the immediate crisis is over. After a person has revealed his or her suicidal thoughts to you, you can still be helpful by:
- Maintaining confidentiality – only share personal information with those who need to know in order to keep supporting and protecting the person
- Checking in with the person when you see him or her again - don't avoid the person
Consulting with Counseling Services at (573) 341-4211 or other community resources if you still have concerns about the person
Make time to engage in self-care like listening to music, connecting with friends/family, enjoying a hobby, or taking a walk. Most people can benefit from counseling and do not have to be in crisis to seek assistance. If you would like support from a mental health professional, call or visit the Counseling department today.

Qatargas Signs Five-Year LNG Supply Contract with Shell
Doha-based liquefied natural gas company Qatargas has entered into a new sale and purchase agreement (SPA) to deliver up to 1.1 million tonnes of LNG per year to oil and gas conglomerate Shell for a period of five years.
Under the terms of the agreement, which is scheduled to commence in January 2019, the company will supply LNG from Qatar Liquefied Gas Company Limited (4) (Qatargas 4), a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and Shell.
Qatargas said that the LNG is expected to be delivered to either the Dragon LNG Terminal in the United Kingdom or the Gate LNG Terminal in the Netherlands.
"We are pleased to have signed this agreement, strengthening our relationship with Qatargas. Agreements like this support our ability to provide reliable, flexible LNG supply to our customers. We strongly believe natural gas has a vital role to play in providing secure and cleaner energy for decades to come," Maarten Wetselaar, Director of Integrated Gas at Shell, said.
"This deal provides Qatargas with access to Shell's gas sales portfolio in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, as well as the flexibility to manage LNG deliveries to our global client portfolio," Khalid Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Chief Executive Officer, Qatargas, added.
The deal comes on the back of a crisis which saw a number of Arab countries cut diplomatic and trading ties with Qatar on June 5, leading to a suspension of all vessel traffic from and to the country by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt.
Aside to regional ports shunning Qatari vessels, the most immediate implications on the shipping sector, as anticipated by the Holman Fenwick Willan LLP law firm, include hampering of the purchase of Qatari crude and condensate, hindering of bunkering operations at major bunkering ports such as Fujairah and transshipment at local ports, along with difficulties related to crew.
Despite the crisis, Egyptian authorities seem to be allowing the transit of ships through the Suez Canal from/to Qatar. Namely, the LNG carrier Wilforce transited the waterway fully-loaded with Qatari LNG only days after the Arab countries severed ties with Qatar.
According to vessel tracking data from VesselsValue, the Norwegian-flagged LNG carrier loaded its cargo in Ras-Laffan, Qatar on May 29.
