2018 Audi S5 Specs Info And Update
2018 Audi S5. Audi A5 was always one of the most handsome cars, not only in class, but in the whole market. This second-generation 2018 model Audi A5 changes a little bit, but all I could think that the new model has lost in this new design, it earns again in significantly better driving dynamics. I did not like the design on the spot, but it grows on me the more I looked into it. It seems that the reactions to this re-designed to be mostly negative – as is always the case, and accused him of non-payment of Audi envelope far enough and very conservative. At first glance, this may be some advantages argument, but if you put this new, second-generation model along with the previous generation, and the stark differences.
As shown with the spy Image, it may be up close to the Audi S5 some sensitive amendments to the inside out. Brand new 2018 Audi S5 becomes an impact across the Audi way of introduction, which may be introduced in 2014. We have learned that you start to see an amendment fenders are gaining popularity. They grow to be more curvaceous little boy than it was in the past. New 10-spoke tires separated affect the former workers such as car tires legend. In the rear end to finish off, we must detect many circular exhaust ideas.
This is a study that can quickly identify and 2018 Audi S5 of the A5 her brothers. The title of the new formulation of improvement is to wear the kitchen office. % With an increase of goods lighting body weight, the next S5 weighs much less significant than precursors. These changes give the car great performance much better. 2018 Audi S5 is a coupe with a brand new grade two to sit for the transfer of approximately 5 members. Certainly become the largest car complete, top quality furniture will really exist. The interior has a lot of big changes with respect to the design.
The latest spy images dash using solar panels along the perimeter vent extends from one site to a new level detection. It holds a huge screen works dwell on the dash panel solar energy and various knobs listed here are completely organize screen. There are virtual cockpit leadership have likewise with him. It may be the explosion of the MMI system and unzip stereo made fully aware of the area and was fascinated. And Wi-Fi hotspot and LTE connectivity develop an application for you. Security package will have many cosmetics setup, stability and deal with many easy driver and tire pressure and anxiety follow the process.
Under that dome the new authority is a choice of five engines, but only two of them are likely to be available in North America at launch A5 and S5 in the spring of 2017. The Europeans get three diesel and gas choice of two options, but it is likely that the only North American to get the 2. 0-liter TSFI four-cylinder base engine gas-powered and 3. 0-liter V6 turbo that powers S5. Quattro four-wheel drive will come standard. The base 2. 0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in the A5 output 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The engine pulls strongly across anger review, with a bit of turbo lag is obvious the moment you put your foot down.
The engine can be hooked up to a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch unit smooth which displays none of the strangeness that surfaces in other DCTs. To upgrade the 3. 0-liter turbo V6 in the 2018 Audi S5 gets a healthy 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to reach 62 mph from a standstill in 4. 7 seconds. It even looks the part, and although I'm sure the sound is piped into the cabin or forged or even slightly magnified because it sounds a bit manufacturer. V6 gets paired to an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission silky and responsive.
Audi says both engines are 17 percent more power and 20 percent more fuel-efficient than the engines they replace. When driven, both engines show more linear torque curves that do not fall off as a sharp rise in the rev range. The base engine is more than you will ever need, but the V6 gives the 2018 Audi S5 a beautiful voice and an urgent need for more reliable.
Can probably be more likely to invade the market in the beginning of this last season, so it is loaded 2018 Audi S5 most up-to-date. And costs, but were not so familiar that approximate to start from around $ 60,000 for the design basis and method. Can be found with a clip revealed S5 convertible. With a little luck maybe you have a wonderful day time.

It was a few weeks ago now – ok a month ago – that we headed up to Wentworth Falls for a spot of shooting waterfalls in the rain. We had scheduled a workshop a few weeks before that, but had to cancel due to fire risk on an extremely hot day. This day was quite the contrast.
After all the preliminary chin wagging we headed down into the Valley of the Waters – it's a beautiful walk down (not so much on the way up!), and as you get closer to the falls the vegetation changes to rainforest and there are a number of opportunities to shoot close ups and on a wet day small trickles of water. Made me miss my old macro lens – the only one I never replaced after the theft.
The first falls are Empress, but there are often teams of canyoners coming over the falls, and this was true on this occasion also. So we headed down to my personal favourite – Sylvia Falls. We took a few shots here before stepping down to Edith and then Lodore. After a fairly full morning, most people from the group started to head back.
However myself and the loyal hardcore decided to stay a little longer, a decision well rewarded as the mist come in. I personally love visible air in my shots. It doesn't happen often (and indeed many a popular landscape photographer resort to Photoshop to add this 'atmosphere' into an image), but when it does it's something special. My personal favourites from the day were of Sylvia Falls in the mist – I could have spent the entire afternoon there. But alas, home was beckoning so we eventually had to leave it behind.
If you can manage the walk down and back, the Valley of the Waters is highly recommended. Bring your tripod and an ND filter or two. And never let the rain scare you off!

Ep 88 - Improv's Underbelly
Ep 88 - Improv's Underbelly
It was cold. It was dark. It was just another night in the City. I was straightening things up in the Bomb Shelter when they walked in. Just my luck. This dame and her man had been escorted into the building by Pete personally.
Introductions were in order. They were Paul & Melissa Holman-Kursky. The hyphen, I figured, was on loan from their place of employment: The Un-scripted theater company. She had the manner of a Dickensian urchin and he was a dead ringer for Ben Savage.
We could have jumped right in to get to know each other but I had bigger problems. Not only were the reviews for my Lousy Walking Tour less than helpful, but animals were dying. Siku the walrus drank herself to death and leopard sharks were loosing their minds..Poor saps. If it weren't for the good news that we could now stream movies from the SF library I might have hit the bricks right there and then. Or maybe I'd take a Chariot. I'd heard good things.
The conversation had been moving at a decent clip but I could tell my guests were getting worn down. There weren't enough cups of mud in the city to keep up this pace and we hadn't even gotten to the latest round of "Stump SK".
We ended with a hasty discussion of their favorite hash houses and gin joints in their hood. I chose to believe them.

Are you constantly on the roads of Wilson? Driving on a regular basis can put you into contact with some of the worst drivers out there. Not everyone will be as focused, smart, safe and caring as you. That's the problem with driving; you cannot trust the person next to you, in front of you or behind you to drive as safely as you do. So, what information is needed to report a possible drunk driver?
The first thing you need to do when you spot a possible drunk driver is get a good look at the car. Try to remember its make, model, color and license plate. If you can only remember one thing, remember the license plate. If you can provide this information to dispatchers, it will be easier for police to track down the driver.
When you go to make the 911 call, be sure to do so when you pull to the side of the road or into a parking lot. If your car has a hands-free system to make calls, do so immediately so the search for the driver is not prolonged.
While on the phone with the dispatcher, you will need to provide him or her with the exact location of the drunk driver. If the car is stopped, provide that intersection. If you are on a highway, provide a mile marker or exit number.
Once you have reported the issue, do not follow the vehicle unless you both are traveling the same way. Also do not try to force the driver to pull off the road either. Leave this to the police.
Have you been injured by a drunk driver in Wilson? An experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand the legal actions you can take, as well as how to handle insurance companies.

Dark Energy Survey Releases Year-1 High-Level Data
On 1 October, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) made public a large set of value-added data derived from the images and catalogs from the first year (Y1) of the survey. All of these Y1 products can be accessed from the DES Data Management webpage.
These higher-level data were produced by the DES Collaboration for recent publications constraining the properties of dark matter and dark energy. The newly released data include: enhanced object catalogs with the photometry, photometric redshifts, shape estimates, and object selections used in the cosmological analyses; survey characterization maps and PSF models; data vectors and covariance matrices for the 2-point statistics used in cosmological analyses; and the Markov chains that sample the cosmological parameter constraints.
These high-level data will be of great use to anyone who wishes to combine DES Y1 cosmological constraints with other data or new models, or use the catalog-level information to create new statistics. We also remind AAS members that images and catalogs from the first three years of DES observations are already public in the DES Data Release 1.

The path to healing
is a windy uphill road
because the art of feeling
is painted with uncomfortable.
I had a texting conversation with my friend Dwayne this afternoon. I met Dwayne several years back at an MMA gym where he allowed me to step in and volunteer with his kid's class. He has recently gone out of his way to help me get back to standing by not only hooking me up with a job, but with a vehicle. It's been a team effort, getting me back to standing, and God bless my friends and family for their love and patience. Life is like Pacman, if you dare stop, it will eat you up and spit you out a ghost.
And this ghost here? Speaks…or is learning to. It's been a lifelong process. But wellness is NOT a destination. To arrive suggests you stop moving, and to stop moving…

And this is exactly why it is so important to do thorough research if you are going to self-diagnose.
(Guess who didn't?)
I started taking ground flaxseed mixed in with my morning fruit and yoghurt on 15th April (cd6) after reading about studies here that found it reduced the incidence of miscarriage.
I skimmed the headlines and made an assumption that it was the omega 3 in flaxseed that was so beneficial. For years flaxseed has been used as a fantastic source of omega 3, which I was aware of.
What I didn't know is that flaxseed is also a phytoestrogen.
This means that it mimics the action of oestrogen in the body. It is so similar in fact, that lignan (the phytoestrogen in flaxseed) binds to our own oestrogen receptors thereby blocking the action of our own oestrogen.
Now there are two things that can happen:
1) If you have a cycle that has too much oestrogen, flaxseed might be beneficial because it balances out your hormones.
2) If you have a cycle that has the correct amount (or less than optimal) amount of oestrogen, your cycle will be deficient.
And an oestrogen deficiency means no ovulation.
I have had ovulation pain really badly this month, for five days in a row. I got my first ewcm on cycle day 7 (the day after I started flaxseed), but it then dried up.
I had two mornings where I thought I was seeing the start of a surge on my opks, but it tailed off to nothing later in the day:
The day I finally got a positive opk reading (cycle day 17), I had skipped the flaxseed for breakfast because I went out with my son for croissants instead.
Today (day 18) I have woken up with no ovulation pain at all. My temperature has not risen this morning but I think I have ovulated simply because the pain has gone.
My cycle is usually as regular as clockwork. Even after each one of my miscarriages and chemical pregnancies I still had an astonishing 28 day cycle, with an ovulation around day 14.
In 25 years of periods I've never had irregular bleeding, so the fact that I am ovulating (at least) 4 days late this month, with ovulation pain for five days in a row, says to me that the flaxseed phytoestrogens were stopping my own oestrogens from working at a crucial time. My body was trying to ovulate, but the phytoestrogens stopped it.
I'm very worried about my egg this month being no good, having been kept in the follicle for those extra days, so even if I were to get pregnant, I wonder if it would it result in a miscarriage anyway.
And as you can imagine, the flaxseed is now going in the bin!

bad news first....my laptop died and thankfully i have my old PC but I don't have my old monitor since it was a piece of crap. So I have to buy a new monitor tonight because early estimates on fixing my laptop put it at the price of a small third world country. Ugh...
Anyway...first news....Beverly Brewer-Irons has been found due to my own sneaky sluething. She and I had a great talk last night. I miss that woman.
Second news, I think I am going to have to change my name to "646 Guy" or at least adopt it as my new moniker as I have been referred to as the "646 Guy" in two members blogs since Blogapalooza...I think I can handle this duty.
News Story of the Day
Players Combine Golf with Sex
Mon Jun 17,11:54 AM ET
NORCO, Calif. (Reuters) - A private golf tournament in Norco, California, added a new hazard to the game -- getting arrested for prostitution.
Police said they arrested six people at the Hidden Valley Golf Club on Friday after receiving a tip-off.
"As part of the golf tournament, sex acts were offered to participants for a fee," said Lisa McConnell at the Sheriff's Department in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles.
"There were tents set up around the course, where people could pay for sex."
Police detained 100 people at questioning and arrested three for pimping and pandering, two for prostitution and one for possession of a controlled substance.
The name of the group sponsoring the tournament was not disclosed and McConnell said it was not clear if the owners of the golf club knew of the paid sex.
A man who answered the phone at the club Saturday said the club had no immediate comment.
Now more of me ranting on the Diane Whipple thing...I was watching the Today show this morning (Matt Lauer grow that hair back this instant!) and I learned that even with his four year conviction, Robert Noel will serve about six months in jail for his crime. I think that is pretty sad. Six months for the death of a woman that he could have prevented had he followed the directives of the dog's breeder and vet. Nedra Ruiz probably still thinks that it's all of the dog's past victims that are responsible for Whipple's death as they did nothing to report it.
Nedra Ruiz, you know what I think of you and I hope you get the karmic backlash of your life.

Troy Dannen
Ben Weiner Director of Athletics Chair
Phone: 504-865-5569
Troy Dannen was formally introduced as Tulane's 33rd Director of Athletics on December 4, 2015.
In his short time in the Crescent City, Dannen has reinvigorated the Green Wave program with the hiring of five head coaches (football, men's basketball, baseball, volleyball and women's tennis) in addition to revamping the structure of the department's senior management team and announcing sailing as the school's 17th varsity sport.
Dannen came to Tulane after serving eight seasons in the same capacity at his alma mater, the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) from 2008-15. He brings 27 years of athletic administration, including the last 13 years as a chief executive officer, to Tulane Athletics.
During Dannen's tenure at UNI, the Panthers enjoyed an incredible run of success at both the conference and national level. The successes extend beyond the competitive and include unprecedented academic, fund-raising, business operations and marketing achievement. As a result, Dannen was honored by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) as Under Armour AD-of- the-Year (ADOY) in 2014.
UNI successfully generated gift commitments totaling $27 million in the recently completed "Imagine the Impact" institutional fund-raising campaign – which exceeded the institutional target of $15 million by 80 percent. UNI also saw its commitments to athletic scholarship endowments increase by 300 percent since 2008.
He negotiated multi-year marketing deals with Learfield Sports (multi-media rights), Learfield-IMG Ticket Solutions (tickets) and Nike (apparel and equipment).
As a by-product of these areas off the field successes, UNI athletics thrived on the playing field. UNI recognized 39 All-Americans, 13 Coaches of the Year and nine Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Players of the Year. Football, men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball and softball combined to reach 14 NCAA Tournaments since 2008. Under head coach Doug Schwab, who Dannen hired in 2010, the Panther wrestling program rose to national prominence with the only perfect NCAA Division I record (13-0) in 2013-14.
Born and raised on a farm near Marshalltown, Iowa, Dannen received his bachelor's degree in communications from UNI in 1989.
He is married to his wife, Amy, who works for Astra-Zenica Pharmaceuticals, and has three daughters: Elle, Emily and Holly and a son: William.

The Retro-Bit Retrogen is a mobile console for playing Sega Genesis game cartridges. Surprisingly, it is officially licensed by Sega, it features a 2.8″ screen, and a 6-button scheme like the 6-button Genesis controller. The buttons are on a slant, which will take some time getting used to, but it shouldn't pose too much trouble.
The system doesn't feel like much in your hands, though it is relatively thick, it has to be to hold a Genesis cartridge. The screen is very vibrant, and the sound is what we expected from a tiny speaker in a handheld machine. The Retrogen has the ability to output to a TV, so you can use it as a tiny Sega Genesis console, though you'll still have to use the controls on the system. There is a region selection switch as well, which will allow you to play both NTSC and PAL versions of games. This is great in case you want to check out games that were never released in your region.
The battery life is surprisingly long, and we're glad the system uses a standard mini USB connector to charge it's internal Li-Ion battery. This means that we're never too far from a working cable. The system is packed with 12 built-in FireCore games:
- Jewel Magic
- Curling 2010
- Air Hockey
- Maze 2010
- Snow Boarding
- Break Fireline
- Wall Breaking
- Checker
- Mahjong
- Naval Power
- Cross the Road
- Jack's Pea

Fixing Dorne
We want twenty million dollars to write, produce, and distribute a "Dorne Replacement" for HBO's Game of Thrones.
Fixing Dorne
We want twenty million dollars to write, produce, and distribute a "Dorne Replacement" for HBO's Game of Thrones.
SPOILER ALERT for seasons 5 & 6. Carry on.
This is a Kickstarter for all the fans of Game of Thrones who feel a certain pang of disappointment every time the show returns to its Dornish plotline. Our plan is to create a "patch" for Game of Thrones season five's Dorne storyline with our own fairly interesting and competently executed alternative plot. Once we finish with our promised delivery of season five, we will continue as far as the rest of our funding will take us into season six and beyond. Enthusiasts will rejoice to know that these scenes will "plug and play" with the existing episodes, meaning that all they have to do is watch the episodes as usual on HBOGO or blu-ray, pause whenever the show's "Dorne" comes on, and play the next supplemental scene in its place before skipping to the end. How will our storyline deviate? First, let's establish what we're reacting to.
After a promising start featuring a totally on point motorcycle jacket, Jaime Lannister enlisted the help of a reluctant Bronn the Sellsword to embark on a secret mission to Dorne in order to re-unkidnap Jaime's public secret daughter, Princess Myrcella. The rest, unfortunately, is history.
Our Rifftrax-esque supplement to the show picks up after Jaime and Bronn first leave King's Landing.
Instead of being met with the convenient delivery of clothes and horses sufficient to somehow transport them into the most guarded location in the entire kingdom, our intrepid duo find themselves in a half-familiar culture that has every reason to distrust them.
Meanwhile, our Sand Snakes are introduced in a style closer to George RR Martin's - as diverse as their mothers, and written as more than just catty comic relief. Obara, Nymeria, and Tyene Sand will be distinct characters - and Ellaria Sand will be torn between her patriotism, her slain lover's memory, and her desire for vengeance.
To be clear, we are far from being book purists. The costume and set designers for the show did a fantastic job with the Dornish culture, and many of our qualms come from strange writing choices and what seemed like a misallocation of creative resources. While we'll draw heavily from the books to remake the Sand Snakes, we'll be sticking to the show for decisions such as having Bronn be a singer and Areo Hotah hail from the Summer Isles.
Great, Sure, But Why Twenty Million Dollars!?
One episode of Game of Thrones costs approximately six to ten million dollars - sometimes more for large battles or premieres. Given that we do not have access to the refined logistical pipeline or top tier networking resources of HBO, we presume that things will cost even more in order for us to match the show's production value. While the total running time of our content will be less than two episodes' worth, we need to ensure that we make up for this immense difference in structural resources. That is why we arrived at a budget of twenty million dollars in order to cover the on-location filming, casting of excellent acting talent, top tier fight choreography, set design, costuming, photography direction, crewing, insurance, environmental CGI, and all the other myriad costs of a world class primetime period drama.
Our Team
David Panfilo is a writer, singer, actor, and producer. Aside from being a principal question writer for the official Game of Thrones trivia boardgame, he has also cut his teeth as the script supervisor for Cinequest award winner "Creedmoria" and as a producer / production manager for Kickstarter Editor's Choice "Castles in the Air".
Sean Ireland is a producer, 1st AD, writer, actor, and director. He was famous in Canada for a day for his "Hadfield At Home" series. See his group "Unlikely Allies" whose "Open Letter To Kickstarter" was a Kickstarter Editor's Choice project in 2011, and the "VERONICA MARS KICK STARTER oficzial SOVIET," which has yet to be recognized in any official capacity.
Vincent Pezzutti is an ideas guy, generalist, and entrepreneur.
Teela Wyman and Jonathan Ying, are both artists and writers - Jonathan was even the lead designer for that official Game of Thrones trivia boardgame!
Funding Goals
20 million - We will make a series of "plug-and-play" replacement scenes for the entire Dorne plotline through at least the end of season five of Game of Thrones. Season six and beyond are on the table, but only insofar as we can afford them with what funds are left over after delivering on our season five promise. Our expected date of delivery is May 2018, but any dramatic legal hurdles, or other delays mentioned in the below Risks and Challenges section, could delay delivery by a year or more.
Needless to say, these further goals will be a bit of a stretch. All hiring offers pend on the interest and contractual ability of a given actor to working with basically competent independent filmmakers biting off way more than they can chew.
20.5 million - Alexander Siddig!
We will try to hire Alexander Siddig to play Doran Martell.
[and probably hide an easter egg in the show that implies he may actually be Julian Bashir (of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) on a holodeck]
21.5 million - Jerome Flynn!
We will attempt to hire Jerome Flynn to play Bronn.
[and ask him to reunite with Robson Green (of Robson and Jerome) to record The Dornishman's Wife]
23 million - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau!
We will try to hire Nikolaj Coster-Waldau to play Jaime Lannister
[and ask him to issue a formal apology to the Egyptian people for "Gods of Egypt"]
30 million - "Fixed" Dorne Becomes Canon!
We will extend an offer of seven million dollars to George R. R. Martin to use at his discretion if he will canonize our project as the "real" adaptation of the Dornish plotline from page to screen. Otherwise, this money will go towards marketing and expanding our project.
40 million - We Hire Our Own Replacements!
While we're extremely confident that we would be able to script and shoot a much more dynamic and compelling Dorne plotline than the existing one, at this threshold we will hire highly experienced directors and producers to shoot this project in our place.
50 million - "Fixing Stark"
For 50 million dollars we will release a patch that makes it so Ned Stark is still alive through at least Season Five.
Risks and challenges
We are placing our expected delivery dates years into the future, because in the event this Kickstarter succeeds, it will be a transformative but very real chapter in our lives that requires a vast expansion of our responsibilities as filmmakers. The scope of this project demands we play to posterity, not to immediacy. Furthermore, because the Dorne plot must still "plug and play" with the rest of the show, we could not finalize plans in advance of new episodes that feature Dorne actually airing. Unless, of course, we were embraced as the Snake Unit for the official show. That would be pretty rad.
The worst case scenario is that some combination of an obstructive HBO, totally unforeseen expenses (beyond our already considerable buffer), and bad fortune result in a refund of all money raised to our backers, along with a heartfelt apology. If the project is doable with the funds raised, it will be done - it just might end up being concluded after the series finishes. In this case, our content would still function as the definitive fan version of the complete Dorne storyline, just a bit after the fact. In any case, we will keep our backers updated month to month with all the goings-on of our somewhat ambitious enterprise.
All this is in addition to the normal concerns of a massive-scale filming project. We will be properly insured and run things to the highest standard of ethics, but of course we cannot foresee everything. If our backers and fellow fans give us dramatic negative feedback during the course of production, we will do our utmost to rewrite, edit, and pivot our plans in order to meet their high expectations.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

We met a broker in 2016 who came to our house to discuss a developer that was pre-selling houses in Davao City. We talked about real estate for a while and then she saw our cats. I was in the middle of recovering from an illness at the time and Emafe was two months pregnant. We were also in the process of selling our home. Because of our hardship and unique circumstances we decided to sell our cats. The broker was the perfect candidate and she agreed to adopt them.
Our cats will be taken care of and I'm sure they'll be happy with their new family. But I will always remember my wife's favorite cat, Toby Boy, the grey cat below. I will also remember my biological Mom (in the photo above).

Went fishing with an old friend today, he was the first person to ever hand me a fly rod and show me how it worked. Yet for one reason or another (mostly proximity), we've never fished together. But he and another friend were passing through and I took the morning off to find us some trout. I chose the spot where I had, less than two weeks ago, had the best day ever in terms of the number of trout caught. But today was very different. Lots of recent rain had water levels where I like them, but it was still pretty murky. Usually this stream is quite clear, and I'm sure it will be again tomorrow. But today you couldn't see your feet in knee-high water.
So for whatever reason, the fishing was very slow. Hooked a couple, landed one. My friend hooked a smallie but opted for a long distance release, must be North Carolina Style. But the weather was beautiful and we had fun. Mid-day they had to continue their trip north and I stayed to sabotage any hopes of doing any work by the time I got home. I hiked a ways, looking to change my luck and my persistence paid off. This nice rainbow took a stone fly nymph off the bottom in about five feet of water -- the deepest pool I'm aware of at this stream. I was standing on a boulder when I caught him, guiding my rod tip around the edge, along with the current. He was hooked good, but when I got him close enough to see I realized I hadn't really thought the whole thing through: I couldn't reach the water with the net, and the 6X tippet I was using was not going to take lifting him up to me. So I had to do some shuffling and steering and pulling to get both him and me to a location where we could meet, but it all worked out and I snapped this picture for my friend, knowing that the old "right after you left I caught this sweet rainbow" thing would never fly.

What is Feng Shui - Lamaism.
Audionastroy: "The secret of this Goddess"
Lamaism - Tibetan-Mongolian form of Buddhism that emerged in Tibet in the 8. Based on a combination of features of Mahayana and Vajrayana. Lamaism distributed in the autonomous regions of Tibet and Inner Mongolia (China), Mongolia, as well as in parts of Nepal and India. In Russia, has followers, mainly in Buryatia, Kalmykia and Tuva.
It is believed that around 1970 the term "Lamaism" gradually began to go out of use in European science. Formation of Lamaism began with the VII century. - Time of penetration of Buddhism in Tibet. In science, the question remains, what is meant by lamaism: Buddhism of Tibet, Mongolia, Buryatia, Kalmykia and Tuva in general, with all its schools, or only the Gelugpa school. There is indisputable, and the term Lamaism - his followers have their religion, so do not call.
In Tibet, the Buddha's teachings generally called "path" or "law", but each school represents itself in its own way: Kadampa, Kagyudpa, Sakyapa, Nyingmapa and Gelugpa. In Lamaism, as in other forms of Buddhism, presented its basic concept: samsara and nirvana (their opposition and identity), life as a form of suffering, the path to salvation and enlightenment, Kalachakra, bhavachakra, mandala, psycho system yoga, meditation practice, transmission of esoteric knowledge from master to disciple through personal contact and much more.
The main sacred texts of Lamaism are Gandzhur (a collection of sayings of the Buddha) and Dandzhur (comments to the sayings of the Buddha). With special emphasis on the texts of Tantra. The most efficient path to enlightenment, in Lamaism is Tantra Yoga, the philosophical position which, according to Lamaism, can not be effective without the active practice - Esoteric psychotraining based on the ancient Indian system of yoga, coupled with the erotic and the mystical practices.
In choosing the right way can help only a mentor, who, having studied the psychophysical structure of his pupil, and subjecting him to a number of tests, indicate what type of practice should be addressed. Tantric esoteric techniques and practices mainly transmitted orally from teacher to student. Training on the psychological and physiological program is aimed at achieving the highest individual's ultimate goal - enlightenment, however, and side effects, manifested in the psychotraining, are of no small importance in themselves in terms of understanding the essence and capabilities of the Lamaist practice.
Even in individual religious traditions arose the idea that full mastery of theory, practice and techniques of yoga allows you to reach a state in which it is possible to see and hear everything that happens in the universe, to become invisible, walk on water, fly through the air, to take any appearance, call the "inner fire" (UMM), giving the opportunity to not only warm your own body and melt the ice around him and warm up any creature in the zone of its action, the ability to postpone his own death at any time prior to the regularly scheduled day and hours, to revive the man after the onset of clinical death, etc.
The increased focus on the philosophical and moral teachings of Lamaism placed on the "wheel of life" (bhavachakra), in the practice of meditation - the role of the mandala, in mythology - the image of the country's welfare and happiness of Shambhala. In Lamaism was born and was absent in the development of other forms of Buddhism, the institution of "living gods" - the concept of rebirth and realization of a pantheon of deities in the body of real earthly people (Tulku, hubilgany, Gegen and Khutukhta).
True specificity of the national versions of Lamaism in Tibet, Mongolia, Buryatia, Kalmykia and Tuva has provided his contact with the pre-Buddhist cult practice of the peoples living in this territory. It is basically nature and ancestor worship, shamanism, religion, Bon (the Tibetans). This has resulted in the formation of syncretic religious practices, in which Buddhist philosophical ideas at a high level did not interfere and does not conflict with centuries-old folk religion, aspects of which were only slight adaptation of Buddhism in the lower level.
The Buddhist pantheon in Lamaism significantly enlarged and expanded due to popular mythology, the characters of Tibetans, Mongols and drill. With regards to history - in the late XIV - early XV century. Tibetan monk and philosopher Tszonhava decided to reform existed in the XI century. Kadampa Buddhist sect, desiring to return to the "original" doctrine, as he understood it, as well as raise the prestige of the monks (lamas). From that moment, many researchers are beginning to count the actual history of Lamaism.
Lamaism as the Tibetan form of Buddhism has given much greater attention to external, non-essential, ie, From our point of view of secondary attributes teachings. The idea in its pure form seemed Lamaists as daosistam, too simple, since for its realization requires not only time-of-age, but also time-leisure. There many recreational herdsmen in Tibet and Mongolia? Hence the selection of the priesthood as a special group of people responsible for the salvation of themselves and others.
Hence the "heredity" dignity of the great lamas (Lovsanga ramp) - careful design of meditation exercises of all kinds - the achievement of catatonia, levitation, spirit travel, and extremely detalizovannye astrology, taking into account more factors than, say, Chinese or Indian, and finally, a famous Tibetan medicine, which is elaborated may envy today's doctors, including a rich assortment of herbs, pulse diagnosis, accounting parameters astrological birth charts and the current situation.
However, all this involved only monks. Mahayana Buddhism, which is owned and Lamaism, in general, tends to release the "chosen" from the masses of its adherents. On the other needs only to observe rituals, largely simplified compared with the rites of other areas of Buddhist monks to obey and honor the Dalai Lama as a living god. For them esoteric knowledge are closed. Theory and practice of the same (first practice) esotericism been considered on the lot.
In addition, Lamaism, though, and goes back to Buddhism, has grown on the soil of the ancient local religions, from animalism with totemism and ending with the famous Bon religion, it is the Bon-Po. The word comes from the verb bod pa, meaning "to cause the gods to invoke the spirits." This dobuddistsky animistic cult of deities, spirits and forces of nature, containing many elements of shamanism.
Thus, if Buddhism in general and Zen Buddhism in particular, assume the maximum generalization, that is, have the character of esoteric philosophy in its modern sense, the Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism) is a private, special teaching mainly applied, that is a magical character.

'Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.'
(Serenity Prayer; Wikipedia)
The are few facts you need to accept when trying to get over your ex:
- you're in exceptionally hard moment in your life
- it's absolutely normal you feel the worst ever
- today (and a few tomorrows) will totally suck
- for a while it's NOT going to be better. It will in some time. But not now.
One Fun Thing a Day
When I was crawling through my black hole after my divorce, I got a homework assignment from my therapist. She told me to do one nice thing for myself everyday. When I started to practice this simple method, some kind of balance came back into my life.
Sure, I was still miserable. But at the same time, there was time not only for tears, but also FOR ME. I could take a break from the pain. I could divert my thoughts on what was good for me, instead of being focused on despair all the time.
In the middle of misery, it's hard to remember about taking care of yourself properly. Grief is overwhelming, we kind of sink in all this sadness. And a One Joy a Day let us bring some balance into our lives.
If you're sinking in the swam of agony, the One Joy a Day lets you take a breath.
One breath, that's all you need to today.
You're hurt, so be nice to yourself. If not now, then when?!
One Joy a Day is not about big things. One the contrary, do the smallest treats. The secret to it is to do it regularly. As a rule, doing small and frequent things is more efficient than doing something big, on an infrequent basis.
One Joy a Day is about being KIND to yourself, about doing things you like, it's about pleasure. And please don't tell me nothing makes you happy because if you like a bubble bath, you like a bubble bath with a broken heart as well.
One day I made myself a hot cup of delicious, real cocoa and sipped it loudly with eyes closed; beamed down to a cocoa paradise. Another day I sat on the terrace enjoying the sun on my face and simply doing nothing. As you see, nothing fancy.
But small things make huge difference.
So now it's your turn. Do one nice thing for yourself a day. Do it just like you would have given a nice surprise to someone you're in love with.
Even with a broken heart you can catch little moments of joy
One Joy a Day in getting over your ex
Prepare a list of 5-10 fun things beforehand. This way, you skip getting stuck due to having zero ideas.
Below are few inspirations. Choose some and adapt them for yourself:
- Read a book that was special to you when you were a kid
- Prepare yourself a tasting. What do you like? Fruits, bakery, wine, chocolate, cheese? Get a few different kinds of food. Eat slowly and taste carefully.
- Make homemade ice cream. Two ingredients, one blender. It can't be any easier:
By the way, you have another Fun Thing ready for tomorrow, because someone has to eat it!
- On your day off, sleep as long as you can. And then some more.
- Go some place nice to see a sunset or sunrise. Quietly watch the show. The sun, indifferent to our worries comes up and goes down every day. Sometimes, we experience our private 'end of the world'. And the sun always continues its way, unconcerned. Consider how many heartbroken people it shines above right now.
- Bubble bath in candlelight. Always!
- Homemade SPA – treat your body to a peeling and some oil. Be mindful when you touch your body. Feel your skin, feel how strong your body is. Touch your arms, feel it's quite a nice body after all 🙂
- Get a massage.
- One of my favorites: scratching your back with a long handle bath brush, prrrr….
- Sing when you shower or drive. LOUD. Go for it and add some drama:
- Go out and do something different from your everyday scheme:
- Go to the theater, opera, any other show
- Go to a concert that is different from your usual musical choices
- Go to a church (different the one you belong to) and listen to the sermon. You might be surprised how much refers to your life
- Attend a lecture about something new
- Volunteer
- Say 'Yes' to an interesting proposal in your life
- Popcorn and movie in the best company–yours!
- Go for a long walk
- Go for a short walk (fresh air always boosts your mood)
- Spend some time in nature
- Take a nap
- Get a new hairstyle
- Buy a new outfit
- Go out and have some fun with friends
- Get yourself a bunch of flowers
- Cook dinner for yourself
- Make yourself a meal like in the best restaurant: tablecloth, white serviette, wine glass even if you only drink water, candlelight, gentle music…
- Sit down and do nothing for half an hour. Listen to some music, or contemplate the silence. No responsibilities. Just relax.
- Practice daydreaming
- Dance by yourself
- Dance naked by yourself
- Play with a pet: yours, a friend's or from a shelter
- Mail yourself a letter; write supportive, warm and caring words
- SPOIL YOURSELF as if you were the dearest person in the whole world.
If not now, when?!
Little joys are like a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day.
So what's the one thing you can start with now?
Choose one, just ONE small thing you can do to make you smile.
Do it today.
Do it tomorrow.
Do it for a week.
And get a bit happier!
Have fun!
Oh, and one more thing.

The above image (pic of a bus stand opposite to this picture) made be smile … taken close to 60 hrs after the event started and an hour after National Security Gaurds declared everything is over (albeit temporarily). The entire collection of the pictures I took during the event can be seen on flickr. The statement in the advertisement ripped from the shards of grenades says
peace of mind. Gauranteed. sms PEACE to 5888*
I wonder what * means! 😉 I am sure, people like me around the place felt extra alive for those 60 odd hours which started with two loud bangs and gunfire. Easily close to 10,000+ people will have double thoughts on MEETING LIFE. in other words METLIFE. 😉

Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell defeats Republican Carlos Curbelo
Dem. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell defeats Rep. Carlos Curbelo
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell used a barrage of TV ads and a campaign focused on healthcare, Democrats' single-most important issue, to defeat Miami Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo on Tuesday night.
Murcarsel-Powell told her supporters during her victory speech that she would fight to protect and expand Obamacare, while also pushing for more humane immigration polices and climate change solutions. She pledged to hold the Trump administration "accountable."
"This victory is for all of us," she said, as the crowd cheered. "We didn't just win the 26th congressional district, we have taken a stand for all the working families in South Florida."
She added: "Only in this incredible country does an immigrant from Ecuador get elected to serve in the United States Congress."
Mucarsel-Powell's victory is an achievement for Democrats around the country, who spent considerable resources over the past four years to oust one of the few GOP lawmakers in Washington willing to publicly rebuke the president. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent just under $7.2 million, in addition to Mucarsel-Powell's seven-figure war chest, to hammer Curbelo for his vote to repeal Obamacare. While other members similar to Curbelo chose to retire instead of face the prospect of losing, Curbelo dug in, spending millions of dollars of his own with the aid of outside groups who spent more than a year on the ground in South Florida.
It wasn't enough.
Mucarsel-Powell used a 3 percentage point lead in Miami-Dade, where the majority of the district's voters live, to offset a deficit in the Florida Keys. She led by more than 3,000 votes with over 90 percent of precincts reporting across both counties.
Mucarsel-Powell's victory is a signal that Curbelo's independent brand of conservatism wasn't enough to overcome the demographics of a district trending toward Democrats.
"When people started learning who I am, when they've gotten to know the work that I've done, I think that's when they started paying attention," Mucarsel-Powell said. "We have to fight for the soul of our country right now... we are sending a message to this administration that we will not tolerate hate, that we will not tolerate the attacks against immigrants, that we will not allow political violence."
Mucarsel-Powell, a former associate dean at Florida International University, announced her run for Congress more than a year ago after Curbelo voted to repeal Obamacare in a district that contains more than 90,000 Obamacare recipients. She ended up beating a candidate who fashioned himself as a moderate voice and was seen by many national Republicans as a model for the future of the GOP.
But voters decided that Curbelo's affiliation with the party of Trump was too much to overlook.
"This was a difficult campaign," Curbelo said in his concession speech, with his wife and two daughters standing beside him. "We faced millions upon millions of dollars in negative attacks and spending but tonight was not a night for excuses... it's also, mostly importantly, a night for healing."
Curbelo was attempting to maintain control of a Miami-to-Key West seat that has long favored Democrats. Donald Trump lost to Hillary Clinton there by more than 16 percentage points in 2016 even though Curbelo won reelection by 12 points. The district will now switch party hands for the third time since 2012.
Mucarsel-Powell will head to Washington with zero experience as an elected official. She unsuccessfully ran for a Florida Senate seat in 2016 but has spent years working as a volunteer and organizer for Democratic candidates. An array of outside groups made unseating Curbelo a top priority and spent millions of dollars to defeat him after doing the same two years ago and coming up short.
The win also validates more than four years of heavy Democratic Party spending against Curbelo, one of the party's best fundraisers and an experienced campaigner. Over the summer, Mucarsel-Powell trailed in the polls and her own party put out a survey that showed her trailing. But a TV blitz in the campaign's final weeks was enough to up her name recognition and introduce her to a sufficient number of voters to give Democrats a crucial seat as they look to control the House of Representatives in the final two years of Trump's first term in office.
Mucarsel-Powell has said she plans to vote for Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker if Democrats gain a majority in Washington and said that her top concern when she gets to Washington is affordable healthcare for all.
"My mission is to live up to the trust you have placed in me," she said.

Pulse Shooting Survivor Writes Poem About The Pain Of Survival
"The guilt of feeling grateful to be alive is heavy." Thus begins a poem by Pulse shooting survivor Patience Carter, who wrote the poem while recovering in the hospital. It paints a vivid picture of the pain of survival and coming to terms with what happened.
The shooting at the Pulse nightclub, a gay club in Orlando, was the deadliest shooting in American history, killing 49 people and injuring 53 more, including Patience Carter. Carter, who is from Philadelphia, is a student at New York University but was living in Orlando for the summer while working as an intern at Fox 29. During the shooting she was trapped in a bathroom for several hours with the gunman, and was shot in the leg but survived after SWAT entered the building and ended the standoff. One of the two friends with whom she went to the club, Akrya Murray, died from her injuries.
Carter read the poem about her experience aloud for reporters two days later from the hospital where she was recovering, explaining that writing was part of her healing process. The poem, which Carter has not titled, describes the difficulty of surviving and of coming to terms with the events of that night.
Since speaking publicly about her story, Carter has been besieged by conspiracy theorists who believe the shooting at Pulse never actually happened, and that Carter is a "crisis actor" — a term used among conspiracy theorists to denote someone paid by the government or the media to pretend to be the victim of a staged crime. Many people online have made much of the fact that Carter is an intern for a local Fox affiliate, and been generally insensitive.
Carter, however, does not seem overly bothered by the trolls. In an Instagram post the day she was released from the hospital, she not only thanks the hospital staff, her friends, and her family, but also the people who doubt the truth of her trauma. "[Thank] you to all the skeptics that believe my pain isn't real, it's your outrageous insensitivity that makes me want to heal even faster, and grow even stronger," she writes.
Overall, Patience Carter seems like a remarkable young woman, and some who, along with all the other survivors of the Pulse shooting, deserves our support.

Brisbane Headache & Migraine Physiotherapy
Revolutionary Drug-Free Headache & Migraine Relief
Anytime Physio is Brisbane's most affordable headache and migraine clinic. We use the latest evidence-based methods and advances in pain science technology to treat and prevent headaches and migraines. Our principal physiotherapist is trained in the Watson Headache Approach, which combines a thorough examination of the head and neck with specific manual therapy techniques to provide medication-free relief from acute and chronic headaches and migraines.
Anytime Physio has also invested in Cefaly. Cefaly is nerve stimulation device has been used in America to help alleviate migraine by targeting the trigeminal nerve. Anytime Physio is Brisbane's first physiotherapy clinic to introduce Cefaly to treat and prevent migraines.
The Watson Headache Approach
The Watson Headache Approach is a manual therapy methodology developed by Dr Dean Watson from the Watson Headache Institute over the past 24 years. It is a very systematic approach that identifies the exact cervical joint at the root of your headache or migraine condition. Our principal physiotherapist Alan Wan has undergone extensive training in the Watson Headache Approach, completing both Level 1 and Level 2 courses over 2016 – 2018.
How Does The Watson Headache Approach Work?
The Watson Headache Approach aims to address sensitization of the top three joints in the neck to treat and reduce the symptoms of headache and migraine. It is thought that dysfunction of one or more of these joints leads to sensitization of the nearby nerve tissue, which includes the trigeminocervical nucleus, an important nerve pathway in headaches and migraine pain.
First, your physiotherapist will thoroughly assess and examine the joints at the top of your neck. This is done to identify stiffness in the joints and altered muscle activity. Your physio will most likely identify one or two joints that, when stressed with manual pressure, reproduce the pain of your headache or migraine condition.
Once your physiotherapist has confirmed the level that most accurately reproduces the pain of headache or migraine, treatment consists of sustained pressure applied to the joint. This is similar to a muscle trigger point release, where the therapist will sustain pressure on a taut band of muscle, also known as a "muscle knot". In the case of headache and migraine treatment, joint stiffness and adjacent muscle spasm will reduce over time with the sustained pressure. As a result, the pain caused by this joint stiffness and muscle spasm reduces.
How Long Does Treatment Take With The Watson Headache Approach?
Our initial consultations are one hour, while subsequent consultations are 30 minutes. Generally, three to four sessions are recommended within the first two to three weeks. This higher frequency of treatment allows us to better gauge treatment response. Most headache and migraine sufferers will experience a significant reduction in symptoms within the first two weeks, with continued improvement with subsequent treatment.
Cefaly for Migraine Treatment and Prevention
Cefaly is a form of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). It aims to treat and prevent headaches and migraines by directly targeting the trigeminal nerve. TENS has been used by physiotherapists to provide pain relief for muscle and joint pain. In contrast to standard TENS, which cannot be used for headache treatment, Cefaly is a specialised TENS unit that offers safe, effective and rapid relief from acute headaches and migraines as well as prevention from recurrent episodes of migraine attacks.
Does Cefaly Really Work?
Cefaly is an evidence-based method for treating and preventing migraines and headaches. Published research data has supported the use of Cefaly for sedative effect, treatment of acute migraine attacks, prevention of migraines, and as a first line treatment for patients experiencing a low frequency of attacks. Cefaly has also been FDA approved in the USA and has been shown to be a safe method for treating headaches and migraines. As such, Anytime PHysio has added Cefaly to its range of treatment options for headaches and migraines.

Anyone who was looking forward to the all-snake reenactment of the first Thanksgiving at the Dallas Zoo will have to find something else to do Nov. 24.
The "1st Snakes-Giving" was one of the fake events advertised on small signs outside the zoo's front gates. Comedian Jeff Wysaski, who also goes by Obvious Plant, made the signs including one that said the events were cancelled because of the actions of a "rogue zoo coordinator" who was fired.
Zoo staff spotted the signs Monday morning and took them down, but has been having some fun in the comments on Obvious Plant's Facebook page.
"Dang it. Now what are we going to do with all of these hats?!?!" the zoo said in reply to one post about a hat on every zoo animal on Hat Day.
Another event advertised the Nov. 21 vote for a new president of operations. Would current president Gregg Hudson win, or a bearded dragon?
"The latest polls are in, and it appears that the bearded dragon is up two points over the bearded guy," the zoo wrote.
That also meant the cancellation of the zebra for a day raffle where the winner would get to put on a zebra costume and live among the striped animals.
"I suppose it's better than putting on a zebra costume and hanging out with the lions for a day,"Jack Coulehan commented.
"Tried that last year," the zoo said. "Didn't go so well."
Wysaski's fake signs have popped up on street posts, the aisles of a wine store, and the Los Angeles Zoo where he posted animal facts such as, "America's first president, George Washington, was actually 9 koalas stacked on top of each other."
The signs were promptly removed, Buzzfeed reported.

VICTORY! Senate Democrats, bolstered by our #WeWontGoBack Twitter-bomb yesterday, has prevented the GOP from ripping healthcare from MILLIONS of women, ruining the Republican Party's "SHUT IT DOWN" hostage-taking of the US economy. And, there are MAJOR reverberations in D.C.. The ugly has prompted the universally-despised speaker of the House John the Boner to cry a little bit; grab his ball; and utter the inevitable:
"Screw you guys, I'm going home."
Yes, the Republicans are so distraught by Planned Parenthood's survival and their inability to shut the US Government down over it that their already-disgraced leader chose to pack up and just leave. Leslie Salzillo wrote a great piece on the Planned Parenthood Victory at the Daily Kos that is well worth the read. So much so that I won't even bother quoting from it. Just need to go to there and read it!

Paediatric Network
The ECMC Paediatric Network brings together clinicians and translational scientists to run early phase clinical trials in children and young people with cancer. This aims to build upon an established network of paediatric Phase I/II centres to increase the portfolio of early phase clinical trials to expand geographical access of this age group to novel anticancer agents to improve recruitment.
There are 11 Paediatric Centres that form a network that functions as a single virtual centre. The Network works alongside two national paediatric biobanks, one for solid tumours, and one for leukaemia, and the vast majority of trials are run by a single specialised clinical trial unit (CTU) in Birmingham.
Survival in certain types of childhood tumours remains poor, and so for these patients, new therapeutic approaches are needed based on personalised approaches and targeted agents base on the biology of individual tumours.

Even if you have the best product ever made, your sales will be disappointing if all you offer is your product. What's missing is the idea of your product. Sell the idea, not the product.
The Problem I Created
For two decades, I sold and implemented Sage MAS 90 accounting software. I had installations in Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Singapore.
I was impressed with MAS 90. I wanted to tell the world about it. In the early years, my sales conversations were all about the software features. It was fast. Its data entry screens were neatly laid out. Its reports were understandable.
Big deal. My prospects didn't jump up and cheer just because MAS 90 was easy to navigate.
How I Solved It
I asked for feedback from my customers. They taught me an important lesson. They did not choose me because I sold MAS 90. Each customer chose me because all I talked about was helping them take their business to the next level.
I was selling ideas about taking their business to the next level. That's what they bought from me. My products were merely the incidental tools needed to reach that level.
You Can, Too
Get out a blank sheet of paper. Make two columns. Label the left column "Product." Label the right column "Idea."
In the left column, write down your primary product. It looks great, doesn't it? Now, assume that none of your customers care about that product.
In the right column, write down the way that your product makes your customers better off. What need does it meet. What goals does it help achieve?
Skip a line, and write the idea that you are selling.
- Sage MAS 90 accounting software.
- Great data entry screens, menus and reports.
- (I love it. My customers couldn't care less about it.)
How My Product Makes My Customers Better Off:
- Spend less outside bookkeeping dollars, because financial reports are easy to read.
- Spend less on inventory by turning inventory faster, because of easy-to-read inventory status reports.
- My software implementation focuses on your business processes, so you spend less time and money on future support.
The Idea Offered Through My Products and Services:
- A greater return-on-investment, with a faster payback.
- Achieving your business objectives faster and easier.
- Tools to take your business to the next level.
- Tools to achieve your dreams.
A Challenge
There is an idea of customer enrichment behind each of your products. It's up to you to find them. I've offered ideas instead of products to sell software, elevators, computers and consulting engagements. I even offered an idea to a judge, to take $100 off of a speeding ticket.
The next time you speak with a prospect, sell them your idea, not your product, and watch your sales soar!

At a time when right wing ultra nationalism threatens to usher in a new era of regressive patriarchal politics, the International Women's Strike reminds us of the power of civil societies to resist. On 8 March, people in more than 35 countries will answer the rallying call 'solidarity is our weapon', by marching, walking out at work and by not taking part in unpaid care work.
The strike originates from two diverse grassroots actions in late 2016. In October Polish women went on a one-day strike against a proposed bill controlling women's sexual and reproductive rights that sought to impose a near total ban on abortion, including criminalising miscarriage or abortion as a result of rape. Later that month, tens of thousands of women marched in Argentina against femicide and widespread gender based violence. A call for one-hour strikes and mass mobilisations was answered in countries across Latin America and the Caribbean.
In starting to organise together, these women's movements created a momentum that has carried on building, based on a founding statement: "we, the women of the world, had enough of physical, economic, verbal or moral violence directed against us. We will not tolerate it passively."
It is the brutality of these daily realities that has seen the #WomensStrike first galvanise global civil society and then awaken so many people from different walks of life. We see women encountering discrimination and want to do something because this inequality affects everything.
Women's basic freedoms are often the first to be challenged by patriarchy, both systemic and unthinking. It may begin by being shut down and silenced in conversation, or being denied the ability to move and meet freely by unequal childcare responsibilities or unsafe cities. Whether it is the right to proper medical care, access to schooling or political and economic participation, the extent of inequities may differ between countries and communities, but the list of them goes on and on.
In many workplaces, pay remains unequal. Iceland is considered amongst the most gender equal countries yet women still earn 14 to 18 percent less than men. Unions and women's organizations say this means women effectively work for free after 2:38 p.m. So in another powerful mass action last year thousands of Icelandic women decided to work the hours their pay merited, and left their workplaces at precisely 2:38pm.
Women's work also goes unpaid. When both paid and unpaid work such as household chores and caring for children are taken into account, women work longer hours than men. Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals aims for gender equality by 2030, partly through tackling unpaid work. It might seem a long way off but to have any chance of achieving such a rightly ambitious goal we must speak up for and defend women's rights now.
While there are many courageous women activists speaking out against misogyny and entrenched patriarchy, our research at CIVICUS shows that they also face additional challenges because of their work and beliefs. They may be subjected to sexual slurs, stigmatisation and even gender based violence by both authoritarian elements in governments and by religious and ideological extremists. Civil society organisations like ours need to stand shoulder to shoulder with these activists and their organisations.
At the personal level, we are all affected by sexism and patriarchy, and we can all be potential allies in creating more equal societies. We may not think of ourselves as activists but taking action often begins with the seemingly small, daily things that we can all do, like challenging patronising attitudes such as man mansplaining to a women, or in supporting colleagues by amplifying their voices at a meeting. We must act now and everyday until we have changed ourselves, our families, communities and workplaces permanently.

Jurgen Klopp has expressed his sadness at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury blow.
The Liverpool star will miss the rest of the season and the World Cup after suffering knee ligament damage.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain picked up the injury making a tackle in the win over Roma before he left the field on a stretcher.
It is a bitter blow for the midfielder, who has been in excellent form in recent weeks and looked to have secured a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad.
"I have no words. I cannot believe for this wonderful player and person, in such a positive situation, that this happened," Klopp said.
"It is such a shame. It is not fair. But this is how life is sometimes.
"If you get a lemon, make lemonade. That is what we must do. Alex is a positive person and he will be back.
"We will wait for him like a good wife when her man is in prison."
There were also fears over Sadio Mane after the Senegalese international was pictured at Spire Hospital.
But Klopp refused to rule out Mane of Saturday's visit of Stoke, "Of course there is something. We will see.
"It is not that serious. There is a chance for tomorrow.
"You have to speak to the players, physios and doctors and make a decision."

The power of language in direct marketing
The importance of copy in your B2B or B2C marketing can't be overstated. No matter how good a deal you're offering, it's the way you word your offer that'll convince a reader to buy – or not, if you get it wrong.
Word choice matters because customers react to tone just like they do to content.
A word's worth
Word choice matters because customers react to tone just like they do to content. If you offer them the wrong product, they're not going to buy. But similarly, if you offer them the right product in the wrong way, you're still likely to lose the sale.
Take Detroit-based soft drink company Faygo. As Printwand points out, the brand markets their drinks as 'pop'. This makes sense in their region of America, but here in Australia the word wouldn't sell drinks.
For contrast, Hubspot offers this example of the right language choice helping a business. Stride, a company offering customer relationship management software, rewrote its abandoned cart emails to focus more on the customer. The text directly addressed the reader, repeatedly using 'you' and 'your' as it argued its case in terms of what Stride could offer the customer, not the other way around. Their conversions increased 112 per cent, according to Hubspot.
Here are a few tips for your marketing language choices:
- Make it about the reader. As we saw in the Stride example, readers respond to copy that's about them and their needs. Douglas Smith, Creative Director for direct marketers Connect Direct, says that using second-person language (you, your) helps keep the focus on how you'll solve the readers problem, rather than just telling them how great you and your product are. Because why should they care about that unless it helps them?
- Know your brand's character. Do you want your brand to project authority and reassurance? Or welcoming friendliness? Your word choice helps define this personality. A fun food brand might use casual language like 'bro' or 'LOL', but a respectable law firm probably wants more formal language choices.
- Be consistent. Whatever your word choices, stick with them. Dr. Andrew Bredenkamp, a content marketer and computational linguist, suggests brands need to find a distinct voice and apply it across all your marketing. While there's room for flexibility, your direct mail copy should have the same voice as your website or your emails. Consistent language use will help you achieve this.
For more advice about your next direct marketing campaign, and how to reach your target audience, please get in touch today.

The Essex Safeguarding Children Board (ESCB) is a statutory multi agency organisation which brings together agencies who work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in Essex. The Children Act 2004 required every local authority to set up a Local Safeguarding Children Board. The ESCB is Essex's response to this.
The aim of the Board is to improve outcomes for children by co-ordinating the work of local agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and ensuring the effectiveness of that work. The ESCB works with Essex County Council, Essex Police, Essex Probation, Education Services, Health Services and the Voluntary Sector. We also do work with the Southend and Thurrock Local Safeguarding Children Boards.
From 29th September 2019, ESCB will transfer to new Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements.
