Adiposity and Risk for HypertensionDoes Location Matter?

Dr. Lawrence R. Krakoff, Cardiovascular Institute, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Box 1030, New York, New York 10029.
Obesity is a threat to global health, especially as a precursor and risk factor for fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular disease (1,2). The evidence for this conclusion can be presented in many ways, but perhaps the most dramatic expression is found in an extrapolation from the longitudinal Framingham study predicting that obese men have a shortening of lifespan of nearly 6 years, and women have a predicted shortening of 8 years compared with their nonobese neighbors (3). The suspected pathways linking obesity to eventual cardiovascular disease are diverse, and include insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, inflammation, and dyslipidemias. Among all those who are overweight, the presence of increased central obesity (elevated waist circumference or waist–hip ratio) conveys greater cardiovascular risk than body mass index (weight/height2) (4). Visceral fat contributes a major fraction to central obesity and is located in the abdomen and intra-abdominal contents, in contrast to subcutaneous fat abundant in the buttocks and lower limbs. Rough clinical measurement of these components can be provided simply by the scale (weight) and tape measure (height, waist circumference) for routine clinical use, but modern imaging by magnetic resonance and x-ray densitometry have enhanced the anatomic compartmentalization of fat depots. Because localized fat deposits can now be defined by such methods, there is increased attention to the possible role of such sites as the heart, kidneys, and other organs (5).
In this issue of the Journal, Chandra et al. (6) provide new anatomic observations that may lead to increased focus on mechanisms whereby visceral obesity initiates hypertension or raises arterial pressure. In the Dallas Heart Study, the investigators characterized 903 obese, nonhypertensive participants, at baseline, by multiple biomarkers and by defining fat depots using magnetic resonance with proton-spectroscopic imaging and assessing lower body fat by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.
The techniques allowed them to identify visceral fat in the abdomen and retroperitoneal areas, as well as subcutaneous loci. During a follow-up interval of 7 years, 25% of the cohort became hypertensive (incident hypertension). It is not surprising that the initial statistical analysis found many differences between the hypertensive and nonhypertensive cohorts, as catalogued in Table 1 of the Chandra et al. study (6). Indeed, it is comforting that so many differences were consistent with earlier reports, (e.g., those who became hypertensive tended to have higher body mass indexes, more diabetes, and lower adiponectin levels). Body mass index was indeed correlated with incident hypertension. However, the size of the cohorts and the abundance of assessments allowed more extensive statistical analysis that exposed important distinct correlations.
After adjustment for various relevant correlates, Chandra et al. (6) found that visceral adiposity and, in particular, retroperitoneal fat were uniquely and selectively correlated with incident hypertension. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that this pattern of adiposity is the result of overfeeding, such that subcutaneous fat depots have become filled, leading to overflow directed at abdominal and retroperitoneal sites. The new observation that retroperitoneal fat is the highest correlate with incident hypertension in this prospective study suggests that perirenal fat or perhaps periadrenal fat might be the substrate for blood pressure–raising renal and/or adrenal mechanisms. Could a compressing effect of perirenal fat alter renal function via salt retention (7) or renin-mediated pathways to increase pressure over time, an adiposity-based Page kidney (8)? Could there be a link between retroperitoneal fat and adrenal incidentalomas? These "nonfunctional tumors" are associated with the metabolic syndrome (9). Is this association a reflection of subclinical adrenocortical hypertension leading to either primary aldosteronism or to Cushing's syndrome? The latter is clearly linked to diabetes and hypertension in its full-blown expression. Those obese individuals lacking the melanocortin 4 receptor tend to have less hypertension and reduced sympathetic activity (10), but do they also have less retroperitoneal fat? At present, it is unclear as to whether increased retroperitoneal fat is a cause or result of mechanisms that increase blood pressure associated with obesity.
The possible importance of retroperitoneal adiposity as a predictor of future hypertension implies the need for simple and practical methods to measure this particular fat depot in larger epidemiological surveys, especially when resources are limited. Further analysis of such a well-characterized prospective database provided by the Dallas Heart Study may unmask such methods. Although body mass index alone may be less accurate a predictor for incident hypertension than when it is combined with magnetic resonance imaging measurements of regional fat, it is reasonable health policy at this time to advocate that all obese individuals lose weight via diet and exercise until there is a compelling rationale for any alternate strategy related to regional fat excess.

"Motion Pictures" can refer to feature-length theatrical release movies, including big-budget blockbusters or low-budget independents; television productions including episodic TV and made for TV movies; commercials; documentaries; corporate films; music videos; or internet only projects. Budgets vary and expenditures can include hotel rooms, location fees, office space, car rentals, caterers and building materials, as well as film-specific products such as camera and lighting equipment.
A film project arrives in a community with money to spend and a series of hoops that may require some flexibility to jump through. It's important to understand how the process works and why the production has unusual requests that need to be addressed quickly...hence, the birth of film commissions charged with attracting and facilitating film production. The State of Texas was one of the first states to answer the call by establishing the Texas Film Commission in 1971. Shortly after its inception, Texas hosted classic films such as "The Last Picture Show", "The Getaway", and Steven Spielberg's debut feature film "The Sugarland Express", which was shot in the Houston area. The city was aggressively courting such films as "Terms of Endearment" and "Urban Cowboy" long before 1987, that year the Houston Film Commission was established to ramp up those efforts.
There are a host of different jobs comprising a film crew and they're always in a hurry. The period of time that a company has to prepare for filming is "pre-production" and it can vary dramatically from project to project. Feature films usually may have one month of lead-time, but a television project may have two weeks at most. Commercials might move from prep to wrap in less than a week, with only a few days notice to their host locations.
A film project's Location Manager, or Location Scout, is usually the first person to make contact with a community and/or property owner. Their job is to find, photograph, and negotiate terms for the locations needed for any given production. If the script calls for two houses next to each other, one ranch style and one a two-story colonial, and both with large oak trees in the front, it's the location manager's job to find not just one such pair of houses, but several. The look of the location isn't the only consideration; the location manager also needs to keep in mind:
Once photographs are submitted to the production and it appears the locations might work both artistically and logistically, the Location Manager will return with additional members of the production team. On this technical survey, or "tech scout", the key creative team will determine what may or may not work for the project. The tech scout may include the following key players:
Once the camera starts to roll, the production train is barreling down the tracks, and it's full speed ahead. With possibly hundreds of people on payroll, if the train derails for even one day, it can cost thousands of dollars. There are numerous variables, most commonly weather, that can require a complete change in the shooting schedule, and these changes have to be addressed quickly and efficiently. Most film production companies keep a "cover set" (an alternative interior location) that can be used so the shooting day is not lost. A company may also get ahead or behind schedule, making it necessary to change or expand the use of a location. Other variables can include the illness of an actor, a script rewrite or the failure of special equipment to arrive on time. Production companies are used to dealing with this kind of sudden change, but they'll need the understanding and cooperation of the community to make it all work.

Facebook Google square off
Quick, which company knows more about you, Google or Facebook?
Facebook knows your status, your friends, your interests. And all of that used to be walled. But with news that 'like' is transcending the web, Facebook is looking to find out what you like outside of the friendly confines of their social network.
On the other hand, Google knows what you want. Or at least, what you tell it you want when you search. If you're logged in, then Google knows a profound amount of information about you. From where you went on maps (or Earth), to what you blogged about on blogger.
I wrote a blog post about Facebook trying to be the new Google. And I still think it has a lot of work to do to get there. But clearly, in the marketplace, people think they are competing. Take a look at this:
Kind of crystallizes the conflict shaping up, doesn't it?
It did for me. Now, I'm not one to think that Facebook is in competition with Google. But when you see this, you get the feeling that they are.

TCompanies app verifies damage to shipping containers
Truck drivers can use PEIR product to avoid damage claims, firm says.
By Ben Ames
TCompanies' "PEIRS" product lets drivers use their smartphones to snap pictures of damaged assets. The technology promises to make the claims process quicker and less costly.
Transportation technology provider TCompanies Inc. today said it had released a cloud-based application designed to streamline the tracking and assessment of damaged shipping containers.
The product, known as Photo Equipment Interchange Receipt (PEIR), allows drivers to use their own smartphones to photograph dented containers and other physical assets such as truck chassis, then create an irrefutable digital record of the photograph using Blockchain software.
Blockchain technology provides a "distributed ledger" of digital breadcrumbs that verify the identity of digital records by ensuring they cannot be changed without the consensus of all parties involved. Supply chain operators have been finding an increasing number of applications for the technology to improve data security and create so-called "self-executing contracts."
Applying blockchain to container tracking could help ports, trucking companies, rail terminals, container depots, and DCs to better manage the labor, legal, and insurance costs relating to replacing or repairing damaged shipping containers, according to Henderson, Nev.-based TCompanies.
Currently, supply chain partners settle damage claims to pay for dented or broken shipping containers through a manual chain of phone calls and diagrams based on the equipment interchange report (EIR) standard. The time and cost of that works adds up quickly when multiplied by the world's estimated 17 million metal shipping containers and their approximately 200 million trips a year, TCompanies CEO Tom Burke said in a statement.
By adding verified photographs of every damage claim, the PEIR application allows firms to avoid disputes over the timing, location, or extent of damage. "It's not surprising that large numbers [of containers] are damaged at some point during transit, and the process in determining who was at fault for the damage is a problem in terms of man hours and potential legal costs for all involved in interchange points: ports, trucking companies, rail terminals, distribution centers, and container depots," Burke said. "PEIR solves this problem with visible, irrefutable recordable evidence within Blockchain."
After a driver opens PEIR on a smartphone, the app prompts the user through a series of questions about the container's size, whether it is full or empty, whether it shows any visible damage, and the proper angle for snapping a series of 7 to 12 photos. PEIR stamps that data with the date, time, and location, then authenticates that information through Blockchain.
Once a company has that data, it can avoid expensive and time-consuming disputes over damage claims, a process that usually falls on trucking companies even though the containers are also handled by shipping lines, ports, and rail yards, Burke said. "There is a lot of opportunity for damage to happen, but typically the trucking company is held responsible for damage," Burke said in an interview. "This app will put an end to that, because now they can say 'No, it was damaged when I picked up' or 'It wasn't damaged when I dropped it off,' "

I can never quite wrap my head around how fast the time passes by – one minute it's April and I'm shooting this look and the next it's mid-June and I can't help but feel like these past two months flashed before my eyes. It really is true what they say about time flying by when you're having fun! Ooh the nostalgia gets me every time.
So flashback two months ago and my loooovely mom and I spent a weekend in Calgary, which is where I found this dress and I fell in love instantly. I actually fell in love with the city that weekend too. I spent a couple hours just driving around on my own, taking in what the city had to offer and exploring the busy downtown streets. I feel like this is such an important part of travelling. No matter where you go, a large city or a small town, just taking time to wander around with no expectations, enjoying the simplicity of what is right in front of you is so important. Clearly feeling quite sentimental today ahah.
Anyways, we stopped in at Holts after arriving, [of course] and I had mentally styled this piece about six different ways by the time I had decided it would make a great addition to my wardrobe. Plus, I don't own anything else like it, thank you Helmut Lang. The length and cut of the dress is something I wanted to experiment with and I have to say it's super versatile and one of those pieces that I can dress up & down, during each season. Back in April the spring air was a bit more crisp so I knew there would be a leather jacket and strappy sandals involved… come to think of it I could probably wear this for a night out since it hasn't been all that warm this week, ah classic Edmonton weather.
Also wearing my Aquazzura "Amazon" sandals here and I must profess my love to the world.. Best. Heels. Ever. I'm such a shoe girl so these were ones that I couldn't pass up and I've worn with pretty much anything and everything. They have the ability to make a classic look a little more edgy and sexy without being too much. I've been cyber-stalking the closed-toe pump version as well but… control, Ash, control.
– Helmut Lang Dress & Leather Jacket. Balenciaga Metallic Edge Mini City Bag. Aquazzura Amazon Sandals. Ray-Ban Sunglasses. Jennifer Zeuner Necklace. Vintage Rings. Lancôme "Midnight Rose" Lip Color. Ciaté "Glametal" Nail Color. –
Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far!

The seat has a trio of vocabulary words and definitions screen printed on the area immediately in front of the seated student. The words that are selected are academic words that students need to master to be successful at all grade levels. Students of the different age groups who ride buses thus will be exposed to important words each morning and afternoon. As a result students will improve their vocabulary knowledge and skills. Every week the bus drivers rotate some 20 slipcovers thus allowing students to be exposed to other words and definitions.

Present: Cllr. J. Marshall (chair), Cllr. R. East, Cllr. A. Button, Cllr. A ffrench Blake, Cllr. Dominic Fairman, (Cornwall Councillor for St Teath and St Breward wards), Simon Mitchell (Parish clerk).
Annual General Meeting. Voting of chair and vice-chair. Cllr ffrench Blake nominated Cllr Marshall for the chair and this was seconded by Cllr Button. Cllr Marshall took the chair. The parish council decided to have a floating vice-chair to be appointed as and when necessary.
Parish Council Meeting
- Public Session: there were no members of the public present
- Members declaration of interest: there were no declarations of interest
- Apologies for non-attendance: there were no apologies for non-attendance
- Minutes: the Minutes of the Meeting held on 1st Feb 2018 were approved
- Matters Arising: from the above Minutes
- the parish leaflet further information on chapel: Cllr Marshall would supply the clerk with this information
- GDPR progress report. The clerk reported that he was sorting through all the paperwork and computer files for an audit on all of the information held by the parish. The latest information showed that as long as data protection measures were underway by the deadline of 25 May, this would be sufficient as it was an ongoing process.
- Applications / Planning Matters: PA19/00757/PREAPP. Glebe Farm, Leathern Bottle, Michaelstow. Pre-application advice for erection of 8 dwellings.
The Cllrs looked at the initial plans and discussed some of the issues surrounding this pre-application but at this stage were not appointed to provide any feedback to the planners.
- Accounts: Financial Matters
- Bank Balance: 27.03.18 all payments cleared to £4336.43
- Invoices & Payments:
- clerks monthly salary of £274.56 paid by standing order on 1st
- 2017 – 18 initial accounts and audit information. The clerk provided a spreadsheet showing the income and expenditure for the year and said that he would be publishing the audit information online and would provide a link for Cllrs and members of the public.
- LMP: Cornwall Council Local Maintenance Project & Footpaths. No issues.
- Community: Network / Correspondence /emails: Cllr Fairman informed the parish Council that Cornwall Council wanted to make more of community networks and to this end had provided a budget for highways jobs to each network area. The next meeting was to be on 12 June and the chair said he hoped to attend. There were various ideas for the Michaelstow network area including improvements to the main road through Delabole and the resurrection of the Camelford bypass, given the very poor quality of air in the town.
The clerk had received an email from Poppy Crichton inviting people to join a Facebook group concerned with sharing information alerting about local crimes, presently around the moorland areas. The Council agreed that the clerk should join this on their behalf.
- Parish Matters & AOB:
Knight's Mill. Cllr Fairman provided information on road changes at Knight's Mill where there were frequent accidents at the turn-off to St Teath. The Cllrs discussed issues and asked the clerk to support the consultation on their behalf with a provision that the three-lane overtaking area be zoned out with white lines.
Illegal trader on B3266. Cllr Button thought that the County Council's claim that the trader was not on their land was ridiculous because the caravan was clearly sited on the tarmac of the old road. Cllr Fairman suggested that the lack of any action from the authorities regarding this setup warranted a strong letter to the chief executive. Cllr ffrench Blake agreed to write this and asked Cllr Fairman to supply facts.
Cllr Button reported that drainage issues outside his farm were still unresolved by the County Council. It was clear that water draining down the road from Clerkswell and down the road from Treveighan were meeting at the road junction and creating a large pool. He thought that the streams running down the roads needed to be dealt with at source, because the ditches were full and overflowing mud back onto the road. Cllr ffrench Blake thought that Cormac had little incentive to do jobs properly and solve the problem. The clerk was asked to write to Cormac again concerning this.
Community event: the chair thought that the village green and the churchyard were looking very good thanks to the attention of Mr Sanders. He suggested that the parish council might sponsor a community event on the green in the summer using the Michaelstow Community Fund provided by Mr Pluess of Woodland Farm. Cllr Button suggested that November 2018 marked 100 years since the end of the First World War. The clerk pointed out that there was a national celebration planned involving the beacon in Michaelstow for November. The Council thought that some kind of party on the green in July or August might be appropriate and would investigate local feeling on this.
Litter: the clerk mentioned that St Tudy parish was litter-picking and there was concern about the amount of litter along the B3266. The Council thought that providing litter-picking sticks to parishioners would put them into danger and asked the clerk to contact Cornwall Council regarding cleaning this litter.
- Date of next Meeting: Provisional dates for year's meetings 2018: the council agreed to put forward the scheduled May meeting by one week to 10 May and cancel the June meeting as the clerk was away. If there were important matters and the meeting had to be reconvened then someone else would take the minutes.

Ball valves which can be manually opened and closed should be familiar to most. With this product you have an electronically-controlled valve. When electricity is conducted through the 4-pole Molex plug to the connector, the fastener opens magnetically. When the current is stopped, the magnets close the fastener on their own.
The magnetic closure serves to improve the safety of your water circuit. If, for example, you are using external radiators, you can place the valve in front of the bulkhead connector on your shell in order to prevent water from running out, in case the external hoses or the radiator are damaged. The same goes for the transport of water cooled systems with external elements.
But this valve can also be used in places other than PC systems. One possibility might be with a small filling machine. Here the volume of water can be adjusted electronically by timing the valve closure. The valve could also serve as a safety closure in machines, for example as an emergency shutdown in case of a power outage.
Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions (WxHxD): 43,5 x 64 x 31mm
- Material: plastic / Brass chromed
- Top is rotatable
- Connection: 4Pin molex connector
- Kable: 30cm sleeved
- Thread: 2x G1/4" inner thread
Scope of Delivery:
- 1x Alphacool magnetic valve - Chrome
Attention: The manufacturer Mayhems advises that Mayhems fluids, especially the Aurora line of products, have been manufactured and distributed solely for show and modding purposes. These should not be utilized in the system for more than 14 days.
We would also like to advise that Mayhems fluids can damage water cooling products, and using Mayhems fluids can thereby void the warranties offered by the following manufacturers: Koolance, Phobya, Alphacool, Aqua Computer, Watercool.
Damages such as: clogging, corrosion of aluminium radiators, deterioration of glued containers, etc., are a consequence of the use of Mayhems, but will not be reimbursed by Mayhems. Use is therefore at one's own risk.

Helicos Looks Like It's Out of Moves
Few readers are going to be familiar with Helicos BioSciences (OTC:HLCS), as this tiny life sciences company has failed to successfully commercialize its direct DNA and RNA molecule sequencing technology. Although the technology is legitimately interesting, the company's execution mistakes left it with basically a long-shot survival strategy - suing other, larger, life science companies like Pacific Biosciences (Nasdaq:PACB), Life Technologies (Nasdaq:LIFE) and Illumina (Nasdaq:ILMN) for patent infringement.

Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements
The Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements (the Hague Convention), came into force between the EU (except Denmark) and Mexico on 1 October 2015.
The Hague Convention aims to ensure the effectiveness of choice of court agreements between parties to international commercial transactions. It provides for uniform rules on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (in a similar way to the Brussels Regulation as between EU states). It applies to 'exclusive' choice of court agreements, although a Contracting State has the option of declaring that it will also recognise and enforce judgments given by courts designated in a 'non-exclusive' choice of court agreement.
The US and Singapore have also signed the Hague Convention, through they are yet to ratify it. Only when they and others ratify will it become of real significance to those trading internationally. Importantly, the Brussels Regulation regime will continue to determine questions of jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments as between EU member states; as between those states the Hague Convention will not apply.

We landed in London yesterday morning and slept most of the day, which was gray and cold and the sort of day that's best spent under covers nestled near to a loved one with a cup of hot tea close at hand. There's something about my husband's childhood home (in the photo above) that's just so cozy, so warm and inviting, we couldn't turn down the crisp white sheets or soft fluffy mattress even though we swore we'd just power through our jet lag. Oh, well...
We did manage to rally for drinks and dinner with the husband's brother and childhood friends which more than made up for our lazy day. I'm always reminded when we go out with native Londoners how bad I am at drinking compared to them. I get a headache after 2 pints- pretty sad. They also win at curry (thank you, Kaorsin, for the most amazing green Thai curry I have had pretty much ever.)
In the end we woke up to the most beautiful day I think I've ever experienced in London- cool, bright, sunny and breezy, with trees and greenery still bright with summer leaves. Peter and I spent the day wandering Notting Hill and Bayswater, managed to peer in at a beautiful old Orthodox church with an impressive World War II history (it was the seat of the Greek government for part of the war,) and had spanakopita and frappes at an unassuming little cafe. I have to say it may have been my favorite day in London, ever, without exaggeration. Nothing particularly spectacular or special was done, but sometimes just being in the right company makes all the difference.
Next stop is Bilbao! I'm going to try to actually post things as we do them, so we'll see how that works!
I'm particularly fond of this photo of Peter. I used the ABM tip on catchlights (it's from a while back, maybe even the spring?) to get that glimmer-y look in his eyes (swoon/gag!) it worked beautifully. I'm really motivated to use some of my vacation to try and make the big jump to shooting in manual. The few times I've tried it have ended disastrously but I really want to give it another shot (no pun intended, haha!) Any tips?

RoboHub has a good summary of the Multi-UAV conference in Austria earlier this month. It's always interesting to see what the leading academics are working on, and some of the lectures can be seen on the RoboHub site
For some applications, it is beneficial if a team of coordinated UAVs rather than a single UAV is employed. Multiple UAVs can cover a given area faster or take photos from different perspectives at the same time. This emerging technology is still at an early stage and, consequently, profound research and development efforts are needed.
Such multi-UAV systems were in the focus of the Sixth Lakeside Research Days organized and hosted by Lakeside Labs and the University of Klagenfurt in Klagenfurt, Austria, from July 8 to 12, 2013.
Concept and Program
The Research Days are a special format of workshop. Besides keynote talks given by invited experts from academia and industry, they feature a demonstration session, intensive group work, discussions on technological and business aspects, and social activities for attendees.
The keynotes were as follows:
- Small flying robots: Design and visual navigation
By Roland Siegwart (ETH Zürich)
- Fusion of distributed perception in collaborative visual-SLAM appro...
By Darius Burschka (TU München)
- Exploiting redundancy for reliable aerial computer vision
By Horst Bischof (TU Graz)
- Aerial imaging and wireless communications with multiple autonomous...
By Christian Bettstetter and Evsen Yanmaz (U Klagenfurt and Lakeside Labs)
- Decisional issues in multi-UAV systems
By Simon Lacroix (LAAS/CNRS)
- Slalom racing and flight dances: motion planning, control and learn...
By Angela Schöllig (U Toronto)
- Multi-spectral people detection from UAVs
By Stephen Cameron (Oxford)
A panel with Roland Siegwart, Hermann Hellwagner (Klagenfurt), Phil Charlesworth (EADS), and Michaël Rischmüller (Parrot) discussed business opportunities and start-up ideas of UAV systems.
Further information can be found in the final program and the Twitter feed #resdays13.

The Rowan Cross and Red Thread Charm
An Ancient Charm Of Protection
In the British Isles, there is a magical and very powerful charm made from two pieces of rowan wood.
Tying two small twigs of rowan together wih red thread in the form of an equal armed cross is an age old protective amulet.
This ancient little charm has been used for centuries for protection and good luck for both people and animals. These beautiful rowan charms are designed to be placed above any opening in your home...above a door, a window, or even your hearth.
A rowan charm may be hung above your infant's cradle for the protection against faeries that may cause harm.
Place a rowan cross above your pet's bed for protection and good luck.
A bride will sew a tiny rowan cross into the hem of her wedding dress to bring fortune and good luck to her marriage.
If you plan to travel, be sure to carry a rowan cross for a safe journey.
Each of the rowan crosses I create include a circle of rowan berries strung with a thin thread of copper, a very powerful metal that directs energy, both electrical and physical and acts as an aide in the body's healing process.
each rowan cross comes with a gift tag
a ring of dried rowan berries is attached to each rowan cross for added protective properties
100% organic cotton thread is used
Every September and October, we hand pick the rowan berries from wild trees found in the woods around the Glastonbury area.

Flower Essences And Visualisation - A Case
There are many ways to prescribe essences and the most of them can be very successful. You can read about them in most of the flower essence books. One however has not yet been written about and that is the one I like to highlight in this article.
Guided visualisation is a powerfull tool to learn more about the client's inner conflicts and their hidden sources. It works on the phantasy level, so there is no need to turn the knife in the wound - at least as long as the client has not become strong enough to face his or her problem.
Evening Primrose
A method called 'katathymes Bilderleben' developed by the German psychologist Prof. Leuner uses relaxation combined with five archetypal guided visualisations: the client imagines a meadow, a wood, a river, a mountain and a house. I like to introduce this method by giving you a case study from my own practice.
A 50 year old woman suffers from sudden vertigo attacks, that almost lead to fainting, especially when facing conflicts. She hates arguing and experiences shivering with cold and a strange sound in her head, which make her unable to react. That is why we choose the challenge of climbing a mountain for our first therapy hour. After a short relaxation stage she starts to walk a very steep, stony and challenging path up the mountain. It corresponds her view on life in general: she finds everything hard to achieve. She has to make a pause every now and then but in the end she reaches the top, where she can enjoy the air and the view for a little while until I aks her to return.
She discovers that there is a wonderful path that leads through a meadow full of flowers down the mountain - and that she could have used this path to go up the mountain as well, if only she had looked for an alternative. However her way down turns out to be not as enjoyable as she expected. Out of a sudden she finds herself right in front of a huge area hidden by a cold fog, that makes her shiver and faint. A feeling she knows so well. She cannot find a way through or around that fog, so we finish our first session.
She agrees that she has to become strong enough to go through that fog and find out what it means to her. It resembles a black hole in her life and memory, something she has always feared it would return and kill her. She gets Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis - Große Nachtkerze), an essence that enables to face the shadow, one's own dark side and fears.
We repeat the visualisation in the following therapy hour. The fog has disappeared and been replaced by a scenery of ruins and rubble, which she identifies as her way to school in her hometown that was bombed in worldwar 2. Between all the ruins there are so many Willowherbs (Epilobium angustifolium - Schmalblättriges Weidenröschen), a flower which is well known for its healing properties.
Willowherb heals the earth after a fire and - after being bombed. For a while it was called 'ruin flower' in Germany. It also heals the unconscious, similar to Dr. Bach's Star of Bethlehem (but not identical). This time she gets Willowherb essence of course. In the following therapy hour she finds herself as a little girl lying sick in her bed suffering from severe fever - feeling left alone. Her mother is not there (she has gone to work, but the little girl does not believe she would ever come back) and her grandmother is in a bad mood, grumbling about having to care for the girl. This situation corresponds with the archetypal stage of the inner child (in this case the orphan), the appropriate essence is Touch-Me-Not Balsam (Impatiens noli-tangere - Echtes Springkraut).
Touch-Me-Not Balsam
These three essences - Evening Primrose, Willowherb and Touch-Me-Not Balsam - give her enough strength to face the place again, where the fog was before. This time she takes the bus there! And this time she is overwhelmed by the memory of a trauma she experienced when she was 4: Being abused by a soldier of the allied forces, who came as a helper but turned out to be a criminal.
After discovering the origin of her fainting she is able to be healed and recover. But yet it takes some time to complete the proces. The following three months she takes again Willowherb, Sunflower for accepting her own male aspects and Heather for growing up internally. Another three months later the attacks are gone and she is able to face conflicts and take on responsibility for herself.
You can imagine, that the story has been shortened. It was not so easy! Anyway the example shows how imagery works and helps to find out the right flower essences. This kind of work needs experienced therapists, who can protect their clients and help them through most difficult situations without being overwhelmed themselves or becoming involved in what happens. Then it will be a powerful healing method.
Pink Yarrow
By the way: therapists, who want to protect themselves, should try Pink Yarrow (Achillea millefolium - Rosa Schafgarbe).

MACU is looking forward to a future of change and proactivity. We are seeking ways to develop connections on campus, in the brotherhood, in the community, and in the world through ministry. One of the themes of the Restoration movement is the unity of believers. We hope that through our play and through our service we can demonstrate the unity we have in Christ.
As a college, we seek to set up our student-athletes for success in athletics, academics, and spiritual growth. We are continually seeking new ways to support these goals. Also, we want to seek avenues for our athletics program to "pay forward" the opportunities we receive by serving others.
We desire to increase opportunities to make connections with people and develop relationships that will have a lasting impact. As a result we will be looking to add the sports of women's soccer, cross country, and baseball for the 2018-2019 season.
We hope that our student-athletes will adopt a "Win Twice" attitude. Win first with our attitude and effort towards bringing glory to God. Win second on the scoreboard. 1 Peter 4:7b-11 gives a game plan to us. It briefly tells us how to be, how to treat others, that our words mean something, and how we should serve.
Let's go, Mustangs!

An Unexamined Life is NOT Worth Living
"An unexamined life is not worth living." The quote is attributed to Socrates. For a highly learned man not known for frivolity, these are very strong words. He is essentially telling us that unless we bother to 'examine' our lives, our way of being, our very existence and its purpose … we are wasting valuable oxygen as citizens of this planet.
It is of course very easy to dismiss the rather enigmatic writings of an ancient Greek philosopher from more than two thousand years ago … but perhaps we would be wise not to.
Let's begin by saying that whilst I'm not a head mechanic (read: psychologist) I was, in a previous life, paid a good deal of money to fix problems for very large companies. The problems were primarily to do with the way these companies engaged with their customers, the customer experience they provided and, therefore, how they were perceived by their chosen markets.
Over a twenty-five year period, I discovered that the single biggest problem all these multinational companies (or rather their management teams) had in common was simply that "they didn't know what they didn't know".
A no-brainer you might say … but is it?
Let's bring it down to an individual level …
How well do you understand yourself? How much time have you spent thinking about the way you live? How much effort have you put into knowing who you really are, what your good & bad habits are, what it is that makes you interesting/boring, what/who influences your thinking and behavior, what sets you apart from all your peers (if anything)? How much time have you invested in understanding the most valuable asset you will EVER be in control of … yourself?
In other words, to what degree have you examined your life?
Before you answer that, please indulge me.
Let me set the scene by simply saying that I am taking you back to a management workshop for one of the largest electrical Utilities in the world. Those present are all career managers, mostly senior engineers with decades of experience in their field. These are highly disciplined people, highly intelligent, highly educated and not known for being random. These are 'e n g i n e e r s' in the most classical sense of the word. (You open their desk drawer, and all the pencils are lined up. You get my meaning.)
The topic of discussion is 'personal effectiveness.' More precisely … 'procrastination.'
A topic scoffed at by C-level management as well as all those present. "What does that have to do with us?" They asked.
I begin by defining the origins of the word procrastination ('pro' meaning forth or forward & 'crastinus' meaning 'of tomorrow'). I explain in plain terms how this terrible habit starts early in life. (You get an assignment in junior high school which, for many reasons, you leave until the last day/afternoon to complete. Yet you somehow manage to pass). It's that simple. You are hooked. Unless there is meaningful intervention, you believe you can leave anything till the 'last minute' and still 'pass.' Why start early when you can do it tomorrow? Why do something painful/difficult/unpleasant now, when you can have fun and DO IT later?
By now I am noticing a few nods around the room, so I decide to go around the table asking for personal experiences. This can often be a sticking point as people do not want to be the first to share their personal experiences, so I start by giving them some classic examples:
- perfectionism: I can't 'start' unless everything is just right
- avoidance: tomorrow will be a much better day to make a decision on this
- fear of failure: what if I get it wrong? Best to leave it for now….
- delusion: I looooove the pressure of the deadline; I love leaving it till the night before.
- conditional delay: I want to lose weight…join a gym, but we are planning to have kids
- dr feelgood: I know it's bad for me … but damn, it feels good.
- irrational thoughts: why do I have to do right now anyway … it can damn well wait till I'm ready
A quick show of hands shows that all in the room are guilty of at least one of the above at some stage. They begin to see the relevance of the topic and start to open up. I point out to them that, in my experience, long-term procrastinators (without intervention) simply become better, more creative at making excuses for NOT doing things … rather than taking corrective action. They simply 'don't know what they don't know.'
At this stage, the mood in the room turns from this is a fun session, to f@#*… this is ME! The look on their faces changes, and as I start going around the long table asking for personal experiences, the stories become intimate and quite emotional. They start their stories by laughing … but finish by shaking their heads in disbelief.
Then we get to (let's call him Fred). He is the most senior engineer in the entire Utility. A career professional, an MBA and a person considered by one and all as the 'ultimate professional.' When his turn comes he looks at me silently for 15-20 seconds (an eternity in a meeting environment) and smiles, shakes his head and puts his face in his hands. Another long silence … and then he starts his story that, by the end, has sucked the oxygen out of the room.
Fred's abridged story goes something like this:
"I always wanted an Alpha Spider, to me it is the ultimate urban sports car … Italian design at its best. So at a certain point in my life, I decided that I could afford to fulfill my dream, and I bought one. A gorgeous red convertible Spider. The car I had always wanted …
I drove it home and loved every second … the freedom, the excitement of driving and owning my dream car. At home, I drove into the driveway and my garage … the family was proudly looking on and taking photos. Annoyingly, I noticed that a foot of the car was still sticking out of the garage because there were some old cement bags I had left in the front … so I made a mental note to move them to fit the car in and close the garage door.
Five years later … the Spider had a rust hole on the boot. The cement bags were still there, and the garage door was never closed. The rain had ruined the car of my dreams."
The room was silent … Fred was in tears and so were several other people around the table. He looked up at me and said, "it never occurred to me until you started this conversation." His highly developed rational mind kicked in, and he said, "I'm a classic case … a poster child of procrastination."
I won't bore you with the details of the rest of this workshop … but suffice to say that all those present will never again say that this topic is not relevant to them or those around/dear to them.
So … my question to you is: how realistically if ever, have you examined your life?
If someone of Fred's status (and I can assure you that most of us are NOT Freds) can have such an epic fail in his life … what about the rest of us? How often do you avoid or delay taking necessary action? How often do you come up with (ever more) creative excuses NOT to do what needs to be done? Have you noticed your kids leaving things until the last minute? Your husband/wife?
If any of the above sounds familiar to you … what have you done about it?
The life of a habitual, long-term procrastinator is one of endless excuses, unfulfilled potential, high anxiety, broken promises and broken relationships. Does that sound like an attractive existence to you?
Positive Action Plan
Think about your 'future self …' the way you will/could be in 12-18 months from now. It is a fact that a bad habit usually takes around 4-6 weeks to set in … but the good news is that a good habit also takes around 4-6 weeks to become a part of your daily life. So sit down with or without your partner, draw a line down a page and write down your four worst habits in one column … and four best habits you would like to adopt on the other side. You can then go on an eight-week program of adoption (good habits) and elimination (bad habits). Use proven techniques for habit adoption and gather support for the elimination of your bad habits (there are many sites & books to give you help & advice). Once you have eliminated a 'bad one' and adopted a 'good one' you will want to do more and more … positive momentum will take over.
Even if you only manage to get rid of your two to three worst habits and adopt two to three good habits within twelve months … I promise you will not recognize yourself at the end of the year. You will also have an incredibly positive effect on all those around you, which is a bonus reward for your efforts.

Any hopes Terry might have had that the storm would abate appear misplaced.
"On the field John Terry is a fantastic player and a good England captain,'' said the Sports Minister, Gerry Sutcliffe, "but to be the captain of England you have got to have wider responsibilities for the country. If these allegations are proven it does call into question his role as England captain.
"I speak to the FA on a regular basis so I will be asking what their viewpoint is and we will see what comes of it in the future.''
Manchester City players on Sunday wore T-shirts declaring "TEAM BRIDGE'' in support of Bridge, the left-back reported to be "in bits'' following the weekend's disclosure. England's management staff plan to speak to Bridge this week to hear his views, including whether he will continue playing internationally if Terry remains as captain.
Fabio Capello, who returns to work at the Football Association offices at Wembley later this week after knee surgery, will talk to Terry face to face before deciding whether the Chelsea player should continue as England captain.
Terry has no intention of standing down. Although some figures within the FA are aghast at the disclosures, the FA's chief executive Ian Watmore and the chairman, Lord Triesman, will leave the decision on Terry's future to Capello.
Any further revelations would increase calls for the governing body to take a more proactive stance. Bridge, who is still recovering from a knee injury, was not at Eastlands for Sunday's Premier League win over Portsmouth, but Roberto Mancini's players were determined to send him a message.
Three City players, Carlos Tévez, Nigel de Jong and Stephen Ireland sported the T-shirts. Tévez waited until a camera was close-by before lifting his City top to reveal the TEAM BRIDGE shirt.
"The players are very close to Wayne,'' said Mancini. "He is a fantastic player.''
As well as talking to Capello, some senior England players want Terry to explain himself to the squad following the embarrassing disclosures. Such is the respect that the players feel for Capello that they will accept whatever decision he makes on Terry, although some want to hear their captain's side of the story.
The England squad do not next meet up until March 1 for the Wembley friendly with Egypt, the 2010 African champions, two days later.
Whether such a meeting at The Grove, England's hotel near Watford, involves Bridge depends on whether he is selected or whether he has decided to retire.
Bridge should have recovered from his knee problem before then. The left-back is scheduled to return in City's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Stoke City on Feb 13. Terry's Chelsea host Bridge's City 36 hours before the England squad convene at The Grove.
England are not blessed with an abundance of left-backs. Unless Capello turns to Stephen Warnock or Leighton Baines (or uses the versatile James Milner there), Bridge's importance to England was highlighted when Ashley Cole, Capello's first-choice left-back, went down injured during Chelsea's 2-1 win over Burnley.
Chelsea hope Cole will have shaken off an ankle injury in time for Tuesday's Premier League game at Hull City, when the focus will again be on Terry.

Mt. Vernon, IL Register News - Thursday, February 3, 1921 Sarah Bryan Jay - 1921 STEELEVILLE WOMAN CELEBRATES 100th BIRTHDAY RECENTLY Mrs. Sarah Bryan Jay Has Lived Through Many Long Strenous Years Was Born January 8, 1821, In Ohio, But Lived Most of Life In Illinois. Always Exerted Influence For Good. A century is a long time, but Mrs. Sarah Bryan JAY, of Steeleville, celebrated her 100th birthday at her home in that place, January 8. Mrs. JAY is in feeble health and the observance was short and simple. Her husband died January 27, 1878. Her children and other descendants were present, among whom was a son, Charles F. JAY, of Mt. Vernon. The Steeleville Ledger says in part of the observance: "On Saturday afternoon, January 8, Grandmother JAY's five children and grand-children to the fifth generation, gathered at the ELSEY home near Steeleville to celebrate her One Hundredth birthday anniversary. This was unique in the lives of all of us. A look at Mother JAY's face took our thoughts back to the distant past. She lived all through the anit-slavery agitation from the 20's to it's settlement on the battle fields of the Civil War. She saw Indian wars and Indian fights from the 20's to the battle of wounded-knee in Kansas in the 90's. She experienced the passing of her country through the Mexican War of 1848, the Spanish American War of 1898 and the World War of 1918. She was familiar with the temperance movements and prohibition efforts through the 40's and 70's of last century to its accomplishments in the 18th amendment - this century. Both these BRYAN and JAY families have come from pre-Revolutionary stock. Both families furnished soldiers in the fight for independence and liberty and in the skirmish of 1812. Mother JAY has seen relatives don the uniform of her country and join the colors of the wars of this country these hundred years. She has always been extremly patriotic, and has ever stood for clean morals, the square deal and pure motives. She stands and has always stood four-square against whiskey, the dance and the card deck."

Yesterday in the U.S. Motorola unveiled the Droid X, the company's latest flagship Android smartphone. The Droid X is the successor to the original Droid, the phone that brought Motorola back from the brink and repositioned it as a serious player in the mobile phone market.
With the Droid X, Motorola has ditched the slide-out keyboard of the original Droid in favour of a virtual one. This has resulted in a slimmer form factor with a thickness of 9.9 mm which is 3.8 mm thinner than the original. The touchscreen has also grown and is now 4.3-inches but resolution remains the same at 480 x 854. Some of the phone's other notable features include a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB of internal memory and an 8 megapixel camera that can also record HD video at 720p.
The Motorola Droid X will be sold exclusively through Verizon Wireless in the U.S. from 15 July for USD$199.99 (after a mail-in $100 rebate) on a 2-year contract. As the Droid X is a CDMA phone it won't work on Australian mobile networks. Hopefully, Motorola will release a GSM version of it sometime in the not too distant future.

The Byrds: Fifth Dimension
7 comments:
I agree, this is indeed their best album (well, tied with Younger than Yesterday, at least). The only track I'm not a big fan of is "Hey Joe", but every other one is a gem, including David's hypnotic "What's Happening?!?!". What is this drum pattern? Why does it have a proto-disco feel to it? I've read that the intent of the warbling guitar fills after each vocal line is supposed to be a response of sorts to David's questions, and in the context, it works. In the creepy hidden bonus track interview (the one where the questions have been mixed out), David and Jim/Roger refer to their music as philoso-rock, and I definitely agree with the concept (though maybe philo-rock makes more sense, or philosopho-rock or something)ReplyDeleteReplies
I think the disco feel might be the high hat Mike Clarke beats out on that one. This was probably his best album in terms of playing with feeling and power.Delete
You can definitely tell it's Clarke, and not Hal Blaine or Jim Gordon. He plays desperately far behind the beat, and there's a nasty stumble at the 1:54 mark that should have gotten him fired on the spot!Delete
Thank you, I've always appreciated this album more than their debut and it seems to get a lesser reputation. I agree with the above commenter: "Hey Joe" is the worst track (though not bad) and the rest is great!ReplyDelete
Enter the Space Rock Epoch of Byrdshistory. Definitely their most overtly psychedelic and philosophical record, three months before the Beatles and a whole year before the rest of the world. Also their creepiest (Triad and Mind Gardens not withstanding). I Come and Stand makes me shiver every time I hear it. John Riley is another anthem to death and love. Mr. Soul makes me wince with all of the sucking Gene does on the harp. 5D (naturally featuring Van Dyke Parks on organ) is a total trip, and I feel a certain sympathy for the wide-eyed wacko in Mr. Spaceman. And yes, 8MH is indeed a giant. Probably my favorite Byrds song EVER. That bass line, the cranky guitars, the spooky vocals. It's proto-death metal as far as I'm concerned.ReplyDelete
Great, great album, but is it absolutely their best? YTY and NBB are strong contenders for the title as well. Something about 5D has always felt unfinished and a bit rushed, although it's also true that the Byrds never really put together a consistently satisfying album. "Eight Miles High" is undoubtedly the highest point in their career, and there are other influential and highly regarded tracks elsewhere on the disc. However, I would rant YTY and NBB just a bit higher on the scale of absolutely essential Byrds discs.ReplyDelete
I like this one (all of their first 4 LPs are superb, really), but I would rate it the weakest of the first four. It kind of lacks an identity, and it's also something musically -- and that something is Mr. Gene Clark. On the next album, they dealt with that problem by Chris Hillman suddenly becoming a great songwriter/singer, but on this one they're exposed and the album is a bit thin. Still enjoyable, though.ReplyDelete
