Your kids are likely to recover quickly from the diseases when they are taken through the right treatment plan. Below are the things that you can consider to ensure that your child quickly recovers.

It is important that you take care of the daily dosage and ensure that you do not skip any kind of medication that has been prescribed.

text: Blake over at Science After Sunclipse has written an excellent essay about the real threats and intimidation that people have experienced when speaking out in favor of evolution. The makers of the idiocy that is the film Expelled would like the public to believe that good scientists are being persecuted unfairly for speaking out against evolution. Remember, though, that a vast majority of people, both in and out of academia, are Christian, and many of the cases Blake highlights are of people who are Christian being punished and threatened apparently for being insufficiently dogmatic. Blake's essay is well-worth a read.

The New Playbook for Carving Out Your Brand's Niche
by Michael J. Pallerino
Ten years ago, Dr. John McKeon, an emergency medicine physician turned medical entrepreneur, founded Allergy Standards Ltd. (ASL). He created the organization as an international standards and certification body for a wide range of indoor products – bedding, pillows, toys, paint, flooring, humidifiers, washing machines, cleaning products and cleaning services. Under McKeon's watchful eye, ASL worked closely with brands like Dyson, Febreeze, Swiffer, Build-a-Bear, LG, 3M, Samsung, Lysol and Stanley Steemer to determine if their products were asthma and allergy friendly.
It was an interesting talking point, to say the least.
Ambition and purpose are absolutely critical, but market leadership is a long journey of many small steps. Your purpose and mission help you define the destination, but focus and small steps get you there.
– Ken Rutsky, author of "Launching to Leading"
The goal of each brand, with the help of ASL's rigorous testing procedures, was to earn the seal of approval of the certified asthma & allergy friendly™ program – a joint venture of ASL and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).
One of the more interesting stories was that of Stanley Steemer, one of the most storied brands in carpet cleaning. According to the National Institutes of Health, effective allergen avoidance and control requires vacuuming once or twice a week. And if that wasn't enough, AAFA recommends that every carpet be cleaned three to four times a year by a certified professional.
For Stanley Steemer, the edict could not have been any clearer. It had to reposition its branding strategy as a "carpet cleaner." Already mired in competition with the "a man and his truck" competitors driving market values into a race to the bottom, Stanley Steemer needed a new approach.
With the help of McKeon, Stanley Steemer repositioned its efforts on a new trademarked tagline, "For a Cleaner & Healthier Home." Moving its research and content push from a focus on traditional cleaning benefits, it pivoted its data and branding on health benefits. Thanks to its asthma & allergy friendly™ Certified App, consumers now shop by scanning barcodes to see which products are suitable for asthma and allergy sufferers.
"We spend an estimated 90 percent of our time indoors, where the EPA says air pollution can be four to five times more harmful than outdoors," McKeon says. "You'll find trigger factors in almost every room of the home, from dust mite allergens to formaldehyde. Unfortunately for consumers trying to avoid triggers, the terms hypoallergenic and non-allergenic are unregulated, ill-defined and practically meaningless. Allergy Standards responds with a rigorous, scientific asthma and allergy certification process for a wide range of consumer products and services."
Within McKeon's words was born a new approach that many brands are taking today – one that not only sees getting ahead of the curve, but also shaping the markets into what customers need.
Why wait, right?
According to Deloitte's newly published "Impact Project" study, more of today's brands are able to break away from the pack to share some common principles in their approach. Chief among them is the idea that leading brands today start with their culture and build outward, resulting in better products, services and a more authentic reputation.
We are different, and we need consumers to understand this.
– M'Lou Walker, CEO, Zicam®
Take Siggi's Dairy, an Icelandic yogurt brand that stayed true to its founder's commitment to great quality and flavor over expanding at a pace that meant they may have to sacrifice on both. Siggi's Dairy president Bart Adlam calls this philosophy "slow selling."
"Brands that set a unique, values-led mission as their North Star are best set to own their categories and shape markets of the future," says Amy Fuller, senior managing director, Global Brand at Deloitte. "In part, this is driven by the pioneering of their own paths, using proactive leadership to carve out a place in the world, instead of following the status quo."
Take for example, Everlane, the online fashion retailer that is relentlessly committed to transparency when it comes to pricing and sourcing of its products. Fuller says the brand works to create meaningful relationships with suppliers, which not only allows them to offer high quality at low prices, but to also improve the lives of workers in markets all throughout Asia.
"The life of a thoughtful brand manager doesn't lack for challenges," Fuller says. "While many trends in behavior and consumption are familiar enough to serve as business clichés, we are always curious about some of the less obvious shifts at play."
Owning Your Market
In his book, "Launching to Leading: How B2B Market Leaders Create Flashmobs, Marshal Parades, And Ignite Movements," Ken Rutsky discusses how and why market leaders succeed in breaking through and leading in today's crowded markets rather than following.
Rutsky, a B2B marketing consultant intent on helping his clients take leadership roles in market development, says that today's brands don't so much shape a market, as much as they shape their value to fit strategically into their customer's world.
"By doing this, market leaders control the context of the market conversation," Rutsky says. "They own the market by connecting their value to the life, challenges and opportunities of their customers. This is what I call, 'leading or marshalling your market parade.' As the cartoon character Pogo said, 'If you want to be a leader, find a parade and get in front of it.' Once we do this, we are rewarded with market leadership and our business becomes like a snowball rolling downhill. Everything gets easier. Referrals roll in. Leads convert faster and more frequently to business. Selling becomes easier."
Brands that set a unique, values-led mission as their North Star are best set to own their categories and shape markets of the future.
– Amy Fuller, senior managing director, Global Brand, Deloitte
This strategy has worked for Zicam®, makers of Zicam® Cold Remedy. The multi-billion-dollar cold and flu category serves the needs of consumers who typically believe they can resolve these issues without treatment.
Zicam® is fundamentally different from most products in the market in that it's designed to shorten the duration of the common cold, rather than just relieve the symptoms for four, six or 12 hours. Getting consumers to understand and appreciate this difference is critical.
Often working in concert with some of the biggest brands in the category, Zicam®'s value lies in its unique, cold-shortening proposition. To exacerbate consumer confusion by lining up with symptom relievers like Mucinex and NyQuil would mute its message and disappoint its consumer, says M'Lou Walker, CEO of Zicam®.
"We are different, and we need consumers to understand this," Walker says. "Creating and shaping our own particular segment of the market enables us to make it clear to the consumer that he or she has the power to shorten a cold. We have found through our research that this message resonates most profoundly with consumers who want to live life to its fullest. And they want Zicam® to help them 'get their better back.'"
Walker says the best way to shape a market is to start with a deep understanding of the consumer. Zicam® has spent a considerable amount of time researching consumers and listening to a variety of sources on a daily basis to be sure that it always keeps the needs of the consumer front and center. With a unique product proposition and keen understanding of the consumer, the tactics for shaping the market almost reveal themselves.
"We know how our consumer talks about suffering with a cold," Walker says. "We know where he or she receives messages about products. We know how they shop and what they find bothersome. With that understanding, we're able to create 360-degree communication vehicles that reach our consumer in their key need state. Whether it's TV advertising, sampling in airports or engaging with the ColdSense app, the tactics stem from our understanding of our consumer and our products' unique attributes."
As Rutsky says, focus is everything. "Ambition and purpose are absolutely critical, but market leadership is a long journey of many small steps. Your purpose and mission help you define the destination, but focus and small steps get you there. Go fast and with purpose, and realize that most overnight business successes are really five- to 10-year journeys, as they move from flashmobs, to parades, to a movement."

Mid-Midlife Crisis
It's like the ticking of the clock; a steady reminder that I'm not actually as young as I look and I should probably stop wasting my time doing things that'll get me nowhere in life. But, I don't want to. I want to keep pretending I'm as young as I look, even if it's just for a bit longer.

And so, today marks the day where the Sketch Battle between me and Pyroman comes to an end with an epic six page response from me! It's been such a great expreience battling you ya, Pyroman! Hopefully we can do it again in the future or something. >:{D
Speaking of Pyroman, many thanks to Pyroman for creating the new banner for the webcomic as well as a page of past sketch battles along with the graphics also by pyroman. I can't thank him enough for his awesome contributions and can't compliment him enough for his amazing sketch battling skills.
Anyways, in order to view past sketch battles click of the "Past Stories" button for the website's navigation bar thingy at the top.
So the new contestants that have signed up to be on the waiting list is Jokerine and RedRingo! They will be added as authors along with Midori and Darknlight.
No more contestants until the end of the first battle!

Since we already have three sketch battles waiting to begin I thought that perhaps having too many sketch battles pre-organized may present with some problems so as of now no more contestants will be allowed to take part of the sketch battle until the end of the battle between Pyroman and me.
I can already tell that it's gonna be a pretty long wait until even Gouda and Prank begins their battle and even longer for Contemplating and Sonic-ock.
So the maximum number of battles to be pre-arranged would be three. No more, no less.
If any of the people that would be participating in the future battles think that by the time it gets to be their turn to battle but find themselves to be busy for a prolonged period of time or something, PM me to let me know that you may not be able to take part of your sketch battle.

The Arc of Dane County is sad to share the passing of Frances Bicknell. Frances was a zealous advocate for disabilities rights. What began as a small committee with school board member Ruth Doyle, evolved into a full-blown campaign for educational rights. Among many other accomplishments, Frances was one of an intrepid band of parents working with Rep. Midge Miller on the bill that would eventually become the Wisconsin Mandatory Education Act of 1973 - again, passed two years ahead of its federal counterpart.

text: It seems that every fashion season something stands out loud and proud and must be noted. For me, this Cruise '16, it's the Gucci metallic bomber jacket for its shiny attention-grabbing fabric yet recognizable and ultimately highly wearable silhouette. Shown on the runway with a kelly green lace midi skirt, this jacket is a perfect blend of uptown and downtown. With a slim fit and webbed cuffs and hem, it is attention-getting but not in your face. Throw it on over skinny jeans, of course, but take a note from the house and add some ladylike touches like this bow blouse or pleated chiffon skirt and really keep people guessing. It's a fun departure from what might already be lurking in your closet.

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn Recipe
A few days ago I posted an Instagram story being basic (per usual) about my guilty pleasure....pumpkin spice popcorn. I have admittedly had a little too much of this lately but it's fall so it's fine. This recipe is by far the tastiest and EASIEST treat on this earth.
In a matter of three steps you're done, and with only three ingredients !
pumpkin spice seasoning
organic pure maple syrup
Orville Redenbacher natural popcorn
Pop popcorn in microwave
Sprinkle as much or as little pumpkin spice seasoning as you prefer- make sure to mix well so seasoning can cover as much as possible
drizzle a little pure maple syrup on top to give it an extra fall kick
eat and repeat.

Last fall, we launched Fortification, a podcast about the spiritual lives of organizers and activists. It was an amazing opportunity to get to sit down with people within and across faith tradition to talk about some of the big questions facing organizers, communities and institutions.
Much has changed and much remains the same since our first episode. We're excited to be coming to you with a second season of Fortification: Spiritual Sustenance for Movement Leadership - the same recording team and now in collaboration with Auburn Seminary. We're having similar conversations and bringing questions about the roles, opportunities and barriers to faith communities supporting movement, creating individual and collective rituals for the long-haul and more.
Today we released our newest episode with Rodney McKenzie, Director of Partnerships at Demos, in conversation with Caitlin Breedlove, now Vice President of Movement Leadership at Auburn. We also held a TwitterChat with our first five guests to keep the conversation going - check out a Storify from the conversation here.
Be sure to subscribe on iTunes, GooglePlay and SoundCloud so you don't miss an episode!
We're looking forward to continuing these conversations with you and yours.

I thought attack on titan was a sienen
It runs on a shonen magazine. That's the only requirement for being a shonen.
Not saying much since most shonen is garbage.
One Piece Is still better than attack in titian.
Maybe if you are 10.
They're not even comparable in either tone or genre. When I say Shonen I mean shit like dragon ball, bleach, or Naruto.
Shonen denotes the demographic the magazine it's published on is directed at.

Jason Early
Regional Senior Principal - Water Supply
Ashland, Virginia, United States
Greatest professional achievement?
Evaluating, siting, testing, and permitting groundwater source wells for a variety of public drinking water systems as well as agricultural and industrial water supplies. My aquifer and water quality testing, modeling, and permitting work assists communities and clients develop efficient and cost-effective water supplies designed to meet their current and future water demands.
How is it making a difference?
Clients come to me with a variety of water supply challenges. Some of these include water quality problems, such as existing wells exhibiting poor water chemistry. Other projects involve a shortage of existing water supply or regulatory limits on the volume of groundwater withdrawn. For public water sources, my work ultimately helps the community by providing reliable sources of safe drinking water and fire protection. Agricultural and industrial clients are able to develop water supplies to meet their water quality and quantity requirements. Additionally, I evaluate the long-term sustainability of the groundwater supply, both under regulatory requirements to conserve the resource and for long-term management of the public water system or business.
What is your technical expertise?
Finding, developing, and permitting developing new sources of groundwater for public, agricultural, and industrial use.
What makes you tick?
The challenge of solving clients' problems, helping them find adequate supplies of water for their needs and assisting them through the development, testing, and permitting of water well sources. I am driven by learning and cannot resist looking at data and yearn to understand what that data is telling us.
Why Cardno?
I enjoy being part of a global team of highly-skilled and experienced professionals. The technical resources that have become available to me since I joined Cardno are exceptional and have helped me to succeed in growing our water supply business in the area.
What do you do to relax?
Fossil hunting, mountain hiking, and playing guitar.
Any other wise words?
As a professional scientist, never forget the excitement of discovery.

Liquid Rhinoplasty
Non Surgical Nose Job
Many clients come to us after a lot of thought and as a last resort before opting for surgery. Non-surgical rhinoplasty in Liverpool is so much easier, less painful, and less expensive, with no downtime associated with a surgical rhinoplasty this is why patients love liquid rhinoplasty. They never have to consider surgery again after they see the results.
What's Involved?
The nose can also be built up with filler if there is a 'sloping' on the bridge. The procedure is a simple, painless transformation and patients are always delighted with the results. Some have said it has changed their lives, they absolutely love their new look and no longer worry about having photographs taken.
How long will it last?
If this is something you have been considering, then why not come along for a chat and some advice with Dr James Kimilu on whether this procedure is suitable for you.
"I couldn't be happier with my new nose. After researching the procedure and different clinics thoroughly, I decided to go along for a consultation with Dr James, I didn't want to go down the surgical road. I felt so comfortable, relaxed and confident with the advice and decided to go ahead with treatment. I love my new nose. Thank you Dr James!" Nichola, 38, North Wales

The concept of sponsorship was introduced when the points-based system replaced our existing immigration system in 2008.
In the vast majority of cases if you want to employ a migrant worker you must obtain a sponsor licence and then agree to sponsor them during their stay in the UK. Similar rules apply if you want to enrol a migrant student on a course in the UK.
We can advise you:
As with everything we do, our charges are very reasonable and tailored to the work that you would like us to do.

My Why!
Why I do Headshot's!
What's better than meeting, connecting with and helping people? In my eyes nothing. Well, maybe a plate of carne asada tacos... now I'm hungry. Anyway, back on topic. We are all different, and we all have our own experiences and stories of love, adventure and laughter. Photography and headshots in particular gives me the opportunity to hear new stories everyday. I get to help people on a few different levels. Somedays I get to help people with their confidence. Other days it's their business goals or working on being comfortable in front of the camera. I've noticed the majority of people feel uncomfortable or awkward in front of a camera. I am here to rid the world of outdated, unprofessional or nonexistent headshots. I do this byshowing and then guiding you through tips, techniques and posing. Oh and don't forget a little fun and laughter in the mix.
What I believe about Headshot's?
I believe getting your photo taken should be a fun, relaxing and professional experience. If you feel the same way I would love to work with you. Your headshot has the power of creating a positive and long lasting impression on your viewers. I believe your photo should represent you and your business intentionally and in the best light possible. I believe your headshot convey's your Trustworthiness, your Likability and your Competence (your TLC if you will). As business owners and professionals we all need a little TLC in our lives. By missing any one of these elements you could be losing out on potential business and potential profit. Your headshot should be another useful tool in your your tool belt not a liability.
My purpose!
My purpose is to create a great experience while helping individuals and businesses communicate intentionally their personal brand by showing their Trustworthiness, Likability and Competence all with a single headshot .
"When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."

Finding Peace In Turbulent Times
I've never been one to watch the news much. Sure, I'll read it, but watching the news itself is always such a downer that I decide not to put myself through it. Lately, though, difficult-to-stomach news seems to be everywhere we look. In a world where it's hard to turn off all the information coming our way, I offer you 6 tips for finding peace in turbulent times. (Full disclosure: I'm writing these for myself too.)
1. Meditate: I cannot say enough about this one. Do some deep breathing and intentional relaxation before you go to bed. It will begin to melt the stress right off of you- at least temporarily- to allow for some refreshing shut eye. If you want more guidance than that, try any number of guided meditations on the Insight Timer- or another- meditation app. Ahhhhh! Heaven.
2. Social media detox: Facebook these days is intense with a capital I. Makes sense! That said, if you're already feeling angry, defensive, stressed, scared (you fill in the blank)… reading your feed likely will only add to that negativity. Give yourself a much needed break!
3. Do your part! Rather than let yourself be paralyzed by all you could do, do something small and notice how good it feels! Sign a petition, call your representative, join an action-oriented group, and/or donate! Each little thing truly adds up to make a difference.
4. Seek perspective: Read about history (just make sure the source is a valid one) and pick the brains of your elders. This will be a short blip in the timeline of the world. This, too, shall pass.
5. Laugh: Search long and hard for something that will make you laugh. Maybe it's an old episode of the Office. Perhaps it's listening to a comedy podcast. Whatever it is, give yourself this age old medicine. You deserve it.
6. Sympathize: There's a lot of talk about "unfriending" people because they voted for the other candidate. What, exactly, will this and fingerpointing solve? As I see it, these actions will separate this divided country even further. It's possible that you won't be able to discuss politics with a 10 foot poll, which may feel strange. My two cents? It's worth it to preserve the relationships that have always meant a lot to you.
Sending love and peace your way!

MADRID — A royal battle is simmering here.
On one side is the Prado, a renowned repository of art and a showcase of Spanish culture that draws huge numbers of tourists. On the other is a brash newcomer, emerging onto the scene in layers of gray granite from a hillside near the baroque royal palace of Spanish kings.
In advance of its opening, the upstart, the Museum of Royal Collections, is insisting that the Prado surrender four paintings, including its top two attractions — "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch and a sumptuous 15th-century depiction of the descent of Christ from the cross by Rogier van der Weyden.
The Prado's response to the demand, by the president of the country's public heritage agency, was unequivocal.
"If he is waiting to have the paintings in his place, he has to wait until hell freezes over," the chairman of the Prado's board, José Pedro Pérez-Llorca, said in a public declaration last week.
The disputed paintings were removed from the royal San Lorenzo de El Escorial monastery and placed for safekeeping with the Prado by the government authorities during the Spanish Civil War, almost 80 years ago. But now the Patrimonio Nacional, the heritage agency that administers all royal holdings, from palaces to antique yachts to artworks it has lent over the years, wants them back for display at its new museum.
Museums throughout Spain are watching the tug of war with great interest, fearful that pieces among their holdings that have a royal provenance could be pulled next. The heritage agency, led by José Rodríguez-Spiteri, its president, has about 1,000 works at other museums and has already recalled several. The agency's president has signaled his interest in calling back works by El Greco, Velázquez and Goya that had been out on loan.
"I'm sure it's a very good project, but to create this new museum, is it necessary to dismantle another one that is the most important in Spain?" said Pepe Serra, the director of the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, which earlier this year willingly gave up a religious painting by Anton Raphael Mengs that was on loan from the Patrimonio so it could be used in the new museum.
This is not the first time that museums here have fought over ownership of art. In one high-profile case, the Prado in 2010 unsuccessfully sought to reclaim Picasso's "Guernica" from the nearby Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.
The heritage agency's request for the paintings is a financial calculation. Cultural institutions in Spain have endured deep cuts in state subsidies, and the Patrimonio Nacional was no exception. After spending 158 million euros about $178 million — in public money on the new museum, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016, the Patrimonio Nacional is hoping to entice more visitors by sprinkling some star attractions among the 150,000 works in the royal collection.
"It's an extremely exhausting type of work, because you are always under pressure to offer interesting, dramatic pieces of art so that your citizens are interested," said Mr. Rodríguez-Spiteri, who provoked the dispute after concluding that the new museum could not draw enough visitors with only royal objects.
"You cannot put a row of the most fantastic tapestries or a row of carriages or a row of armor, and settle with that," he said.
There is no doubt that the works belong to the royal collection of the Patrimonio Nacional; the Prado even lists them as being on temporary loan. The van der Weyden painting was acquired by Maria of Hungary, who left it to her nephew King Philip II. In 1574, it was given to the Escorial monastery, where it remained for 362 years until it was moved to the Prado in 1936.
The Bosch work, an ambitious symbol-laden tryptich by the Dutch medieval painter, was acquired by King Philip II and presented in 1593 to Escorial, where it hung until it was sent to the Prado for restoration in 1933 and then put on loan in 1936 for safekeeping.
But the paintings are in the Prado's possession, and it has forcefully pressed an emotional claim, as well as its trump card as the most popular museum in Madrid, with 2.5 million visitors last year. The stricken face of the Virgin Mary from the disputed painting by van der Weyden is plastered all over the city for a new exhibition there, including on an enormous advertisement at Madrid's airport.
"To deprive the Prado of those paintings would be something akin to a crime," Mr. Pérez-Llorca, a lawyer and former minister of foreign affairs, said in an interview. "The Prado is a Spanish jewel, and these paintings enrich the museum."
Mr. Rodríguez-Spiteri, a former ambassador to Portugal and Germany, demanded the paintings last summer. The struggle between the institutions has gone on ever since, and high-level government officials have been drawn in.
As for the royal family, it has stayed out of the fray. A spokesman declined to comment and referred all questions to the Patrimonio Nacional.
"The royal family always avoids interfering in political fights," said Ana Romero Galán, a journalist and author of "End-Game," about the abdication of King Juan Carlos I last year in favor of his son, Felipe VI. The royal museum's opening was originally intended to coincide with what was to be the 40th anniversary of Juan Carlos's reign next year.
The Spanish deputy prime minister Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría has said that the dispute is over and that the paintings will not move. But if that is so, it's apparently not evident to the two bickering institutions.
When the Prado mounted an exhibition last fall devoted to the Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the Patrimonio Nacional declined to loan seven works, claiming concerns about travel risks.
And the director of the new royal collection museum, José Luís Díez, once a Prado curator, was criticized by his former colleagues there when a Patrimonio Nacional web page included the four disputed paintings on a list of its top masterworks.
The two institutions seemed to reach a public rapprochement with the Prado's van der Weyden show, which included the artist's "Calvary," newly restored in a five-year joint project with the agency, which owns it. A high-ranking Patrimonio official attended the exhibition's opening in late March.
But in the last few weeks, tensions surfaced again as the Patrimonio offered previews of its museum, designed to blend with the architecture of the palace and organized around the members of the Hapsburg and Bourbon families who acquired the artifacts.
On a tour of the site, the museum's director, Mr. Luís Díez, showed off a vast gallery that he said had originally been intended for a royal carriage exhibition. The plan was scrapped, he said, because the show would not "reflect the high quality of the royal collection, nor the importance of the museum."
Soon after the preview, Mr. Rodríguez-Spiteri declared in the nation's leading newspaper, El País, that the four disputed paintings were essential "to the future" of the new museum.
The latest skirmish occurred when the Prado sought to extend the popular van der Weyden exhibition a month beyond its scheduled closing, on June 28. But its request to prolong the loan of the newly restored "Calvary" painting was refused.
In recent days, a series of government meetings took place to try to work out a solution, perhaps by clarifying the legal status of works on loan to the Prado or making another swap. Alternatives have been floated, such as rotating the four works between the two museums.
Mr. Pérez-Llorca said the Prado would not compromise. Among his concerns is that acquiescence will open a Pandora's box of claims.
"It is not private property; they belong to the public," he said. "To deprive the museum because of a whim would begin the dismantling of the Prado."

I had a breakthrough the other day.
Give me high five!
One of these fabulous warm winter evenings last week we needed to end on the beach.The air was soft and salty, the sea quiet, small waves moving calmly in an even rhythm.
Protected by the moonlight my son Zion was running in the sand meters away from me. Looking into the stars, spreading his arms, feeling his freedom.
Now and then I heard him calling out: Mom, come and catch me! And after enjoying my moment I did speed up to play.
After ma-a-a-any catches and out of breath we quietly walked side by side back.
On the way, Zion wanted to grab a drink and asked me to go into this specific bar that I don't like. I replied that and mentioned that we could get our water in the car. Zion focused on reaching the bar he made his point:
Oh Mom, he said, you don't need to buy anything there. It's just me. I want to choose a delicious juice.
It dawned on me: empathy.
In his words, Zion asked me to
take his perspective
understand his feeling of being in need to drink something that he loves in a place that's ok for him.
not judge him for that and
speak about how I understood it and I explained why I wouldn't choose the bar.
How does it relate to Yoga?
I've come to understand, that Yoga can be applied as a method to self-reflection; to begin to explore, who you indeed are.
Because to give empathy, or in other words, to understand somebody's feelings, you'll need to be able to connect with this feeling and distinguish from it within yourself. And, the deeper you know yourself the better empathy's to give and receive.
Speaking from my more than ten years of experience with a consistent Ashtanga Yoga practice empathy becomes tangible, even embodies.
It turns out to be an incredibly deep feeling of connection.
So yes, I gave Zion his coins and joint him to choose his drink.
We took a seat, chatted and looked at the sea. 🤙
In your everyday life, there're countless hidden nuggets of wisdom.
When you listen carefully to whom surrounds you, you'll get the hints, insights, answers, new questions and understanding that are meant for you. Like me with my simple and clear empathy breakthrough.
Over to you!
Please share in the comment below, what's this one memory about a breakthrough in your everyday life?
Because I'd love to get to know you too!
Enjoy your day!
Your Stef
P.S.: How much do you feel understood? Forward this email to who you love and start the conversation!

This Article is now available on Scuba Diver Life
Category: Dive Sites
Places to go dive and explore
Diving in Dahab, Red Sea
For those that have read my articles here or on PADI.com/blog it will come as no surprise that Dahab is one of my favourite destinations for diving. In Fact in the last 12 months I have probably spent a good 5 weeks there. So makes sense to write an article about this great divers town.
Destination Dahab
Dahab named after the Egyptian for gold is a small resort town on the Sinai Peninsula. This former Bedouin fishing village lies about 1 – 1.5hrs north-east of Sharm el Sheikh and its international airport, the transfer time does vary on the driver, time of day and what state the road is currently in. After a drive through and over the sandstone hills you arrive at the Dahab check-point and proceed into town. Now for those that are used to well maintained and manicured resorts the first view of Dahab might be a bit of a shock, maybe not so much as the hustle and bustle of down-town Hurghada can be, but its a proper Egyptian small town not a fake Disney take on it.
Dahab is pretty laid back, friendly and not encumbered with massive hotel developments and bucket and spade type holiday makers, which gives it a great vibe that will have you hooked in no time. Every time I go I meet lots of like minded people and make new friends!
The town is made up of 4 parts, Dahab city which is in the south and houses the bigger plusher hotels and the Laguna where the kite surfers find the best wind. Next is Mashraba maybe considered the nice part by some with good standard hotels and a number of shops and places to eat, like the great King Chicken! I though much prefer the Masbat area along the see front with the most dive centres, bars and people I know. Finally is Asalah where a lot of the locals live and those driving to some of dive sites like Canyons or Blue Hole will pass through.
Dahab has lots of dinning and drinking opportunities spread out along the whole town. A walk along the promenade can mean you are accosted by a number of touts for each restaurant or souvenir shop, but generally a firm no means they leave you be. Some of my regular places to eat include, Yalla Bar, Chruchills, Blue Beach, Nirvana and for a cheap and filling lunch the Koshary. The German bakery with branches in a number of places also provides a good breakfast of pastry, though is a little more expensive then local options.
When it comes to cash points there seems to be a few less then before and often, especially over the weekend they can run out. Generally I would advise to get out enough cash to cover you for a few days when you get the chance. There is nothing worse then having to walk from Bluebeach all the way to Mashraba just to find a functioning cash point in the evening while others are enjoying a well earned drink!
Diving in Dahab
If you are reading this then I'm pretty sure you are interested in knowing about the diving.
Dahab Quick Facts
- Water Temps – 20C to 28c
- Viz – it does vary on tide and winds but generally 20 – 60m
- What to see – Turtles, Lionfish, Blue Spotted rays, Napoleons, Seahorses, Jacks.
The diving in Dahab is as relaxed as the town itself, no getting up at dawn to transfer to a boat followed by a 1-2hr boat trip, here many dives start a few steps from the Dive centre. Dahab is shore diving with the advantage of providing depths for all levels of diver. With surprising amounts of coral and fish life within a few breaths of your descent. The main entry points along the beach front are generally around the lighthouse area, Eel gardens is also great. A bit further out of town and requiring a taxi ride are some of the best dive spots in Dahab and two of my very favourite dives which offer more challenging dives for those with the correct training (but also fun dives for others). Blue Hole and the Canyons dive sites are fantastic.
The Canyon is a great dive site, and is essentially a canyon that drops down from about 30m to become a covered tunnel with one or two exits outside onto a wall. I prefer descending down along the wall to around 40m where the entry up into the canyon is and then up through the canyon – but the other way round is just as good! The we have the Blue Hole, Dahabs most famous dive site. The site itself was discovered by the legendary Jacques Cousteau and is about 80 meters in diameter and opens to the Red Sea. Part of this sites magic is the arch, which is a 26-meter-long tunnel with a roof at around 53ms and is an amazing dive for those with the correct training. Did I say amazing? I mean absolutley special!
All Scuba training agencies are well represented and there are plenty of great dive centres to choose from in Dahab catering for your every need from beginner diver all the way to some excellent Tec training, Dahab is also popular with Freedivers (especially the Blue Hole) and Kite surfers. For those with family or looking to take a break from the diving then there are plenty of activities like Camel rides, trips out into the desert or a visit to the 6th Century monastery of St Catherine's.
Finally contrary to what you may see or read in the press and TV news Egypt is still a safe and friendly place for Tourists, in fact now more then ever do the Local stores, restaurants and of course all the dive centres and instructors need your support.
Diving Egypt and the Red Sea
Originally posted Trevor Sanford 28 th May 2013 http://www.padi.com/blog/2013/05/28/diving-egypt-and-the-red-sea/
Egypt probably needs very little introduction, we all probably remember the great civilisation that it left us in school history books. The pyramids, the Sphinx, the great river Nile and in modern times the Suez canal, do I need to mention Cleopatra?
But what the text books didn't tell us was the amazing world class diving that Egypt has on its doorstep. The Red Sea rightly ranks up there as one of the must dive locations for any diver. Be it beginners just starting their open water diver course to experienced Tec divers, Egypt and the Red Sea has something for you and more.
Diving holidays Egypt
Having recently had the opportunity to spend four weeks travelling round various dive locations in Egypt, I am convinced its a great location to spend your holiday or dive trip. Why? Well for one thing flights and hotels can often be had at bargain prices and there are deals a plenty to be found. Also, once in Egypt, everything is a lot cheaper than you will probably be used to at home (a hair cut cost me 50LE roughly 5euro, 4GBP, 7USD). Eating and drinking out is also very cheap and provides variety to staying in your resort hotel all holiday. If you are in one of the larger resort towns, I would certainly recommend heading into town once or twice. Two bits of advice; try and save small change wherever possible and cash in large denomination bills (200 LE mainly) in larger establishments or your hotel – even if they appear unwilling at first and ask for smaller. This will make things a lot easier and less frustrating in the longer run! Especially as cash machines like giving out large denomination notes.
Have I mentioned the diving is world class? Warm waters year round, amazing wrecks, stunning reefs and marine life that ranges from Manta and Whale Sharks to Blue Spotted Rays and thousands of smaller reef fish in a riot of colour. Shore dives, house reefs, rib dives, day boats or luxury live-aboards the choice is yours. This sounds better and better!
Where to go dive?
There are four main areas to check out for holidays and diving. Watch out for further blog posts on some of these areas specifically in the near future!
1. Sharm el Sheik – Locate a PADI Dive Shop in Sharm el Sheik
2. Hurghada and Northern Red Sea Coast – Locate a PADI Dive Shop in Hurghada
3. Sinai Peninsular (Dahab & Taba) – Locate a PADI Dive Shop in Sinai
4. Marsa Alam and Southeastern Red Sea Coast – Locate a PADI Dive Shop in Marsa Alam
There are many smaller resort areas included in the above and there is something to cater for every taste and budget for accommodation from Eco-lodges to five star luxury villas. Often the limiting factor is which airport is easiest to reach from home.
It is worth noting that even if your hotel of preference does not have a dive center, you can still easily book and dive with your choice of PADI center, as most will offer free transfer from your hotel to the center or dive boat and back.
If you plan to do a PADI course while in Egypt, then make sure you get the most out of your holiday time either diving or spending some extra time enjoying the sun and relaxing with the family. Don't forget you can complete the theory part of your course via PADI elearning. A few rainy evenings at home = more time in the sun or water!
Quick Holiday Facts
- Aiports: Hurghada, Sharm el Sheik & Marsa Alam (though you can connect via Cario easier then you may think)
- Visibility: 15-70 metres/50-230 feet
- Currents: Mostly calm but with some great drift dives also
- Water Temp: 21-30° C/70-86° F year round
- When to Dive: All Year – Particularly when its too cold at home!
- Weather: 21-40° C/70-104° F year round
- Language: Arabic is the local language, but many Egyptians working in tourism can speak in a variety of English, Russian, German, Italian.
- Currency: The Egyptian Pound (EGP) or LE. Also the Euro is generally accepted and if using credit cards you may only have the option to pay in US Dollars.
- Tipping: Known locally as baksheesh, 10-20 percent is standard.
- Visa: If not travelling as part of a package you can quickly and easily obtain these at the bank counter in the arrivals halls.
- Useful Arabic: Shukran / Thank you, la'a / No, Ishtah / Awesome

Decompression Chambers
On Sunday 18th November I experienced something that no diver ever should, a session in a recompression chamber. Luckily for me this was only a test drive!
It all started with a trip to the Badischer Tauchsportverband (BTSV) decompression chamber at the Helios Hospital in the German lake side town of Überlingen (a picturesque little town on the shores of Lake Constance and also location of some more normal dive sites)
The chamber itself serves the South West of Germany, Switzerland North of the Alps and parts of Austria and was manufactured by Haux (Haux starmed 2000) and was installed only this year replacing a rather retro looking older one. Continue reading "Decompression Chambers"

I had a few free hours so I took a quick subway ride to the Met. This time, my plan was to try to see every room in the American Wing. Ha! I did not get very far. I spent too much time reading the description cards, which are really interesting. Most folks fly through the rooms but I want to learn while I am there, so I take my time. When I was a child and teeneager, I loved opulent things. Our High School American Culture Seminar took a trip to Boston back in 1975 and I was intrigued by the beautiful items in the various house museums. I would have loved the trip I took to the Met this time. Here is a sample of the beauty:
Grecian Sofa, American Wing circa 1820-1825
Look at these legs! Imagine having this incredible sofa in your living room!
Lannuier Sideboard, American Wing, circa 1812-1819
Always good to examine a piece by Lannuier up close and personal.
Herter Brothers Arm Chair, American Wing, 1875
This stunning chair needs to be seen in person. An identical pair of chairs were placed in the White House during Ulysses S. Grant's term in 1875.
Severin Roesen, "Still Life of Fruit" circa 1855, American Wing
Astonishing display of fruit available in America during this time. Always good to study Roesen's style,technique, and breathtaking lovliness.

I went to a "Womens Goals Brunch" this past Sunday. It was inspiring to meet women in all walks of life networking and planning out their goals for the New Year. I have always made New Years resolutions but honestly I was just paying it lip service. "This year I will lose weight. This year I will be more organized..."
Well this year (LOL) I have an acountablity partner. Acountablity partners seem to be all the rage but I love the idea. A person you text once a week with your goals for the week, someone to keep you honest. I will let you know how it goes. My goal this week it to read the workbook "Game Plan" by Ciara Pressler and break down my goals into managable steps.

In the beginning of the year I wrote about my choice of Gadget update would be the TV. That being said, the rumor mills have started for the upcoming September event from Apple where there would announce annual upgrades to their iPhone spec and an improved Apple TV. According to Mark Gurman form 9 to 5 Mac:
The files indicate that the new remote control will include both Bluetooth technology and an infrared sensor, which suggests superior control responsiveness as well as the potential for backward compatibility with non-Bluetooth home AV equipment. As our Jeremy Horwitz noted earlier this year, the introduction of a new remote control could help open up the door for improved gaming. With an integrated touchpad, in addition to the Apple TV SDK we'll discuss later in this article, Apple could open up the remote to developers looking to bring gaming to the Apple TV box. Critically, this new remote will likely pack enough technology to deter users from losing the controller, which happens often with the older Apple TV remotes.
Looking at the image that Mark Gurman provided in his reports, reminds me of the early Nintendo Wii days. Looks like Apple is finally putting their acquisition of PrimeSense to work. This explains the flatter but wider Apple TV console and I won't be surprised if this will have to be placed in a clear vision of sight so that Apple TV could pick up those Gestures.

Badminton Scotland
Gilmour drawn in the same half as Chinese top seed at Scottish Open Badminton Championships
Published by
Press Release: Badminton Scotland
Kirsty Gilmour has been drawn in the same half of the women's singles as China's Cai Yanyan at the Scottish Open Badminton Championships, to be played at Glasgow's Emirates Arena from 21-25 November 2018.
Gilmour, the reigning women's singles champion, will have to overcome a number of difficult challenges if she wants to retain her title, opening her campaign against England's Georgina Bland with a second round match against Denmark's Mette Poulsen her likely reward.
Although Gilmour can boast a 6-0 head to head record against Poulsen, she will be all too aware of the threat posed by the Dane who won a European bronze medal last year.
There would then be a potential quarter-final against sixth seed Rachel Honderich of Canada or Swiss No. 1 Sabrina Jaquet to negotiate before she can begin to think about a semi-final match against the Chinese top seed and on seeing today's draw, Gilmour commented on how strong the line-up is for the 2018 event.
"This year's Scottish Open is maybe one of the strongest we've seen in terms of world rankings for the ladies' singles" she said. "Each round is going to be extremely tough so I'll have to be prepared from the very start.
"You can never take anything for granted in sport but I know I can always rely on the Scottish crowd to fill up the seats and give a huge amount of support to me and the other players.
"I know everyone looks forward to stepping out into the Emirates Arena every year at this event and this year will be no exception."
In the bottom half of the draw 2015 champion Line Kjaersfeldt also faces some stiff opposition including a first round tie against Fabienne Deprez of Germany, a likely quarter-final against Spain's Beatriz Corrales and a potential semi-final against Chinese fourth seed Chen Xiaoxin.
In the men's singles, top seed Rasmus Gemke is a man in form having reached the semi-finals of the French Open last week, beating world no. 3 Chou Tien Chen on his way to the last four.
But his route to the final in Glasgow is far from straightforward. He is in the same half of the draw as Dutch third seed Mark Caljouw and English sixth seed Toby Penty, both of whom have beaten him in the last twelve months – Caljouw in the final of the Orleans Masters in April and Penty on his way to winning the Scottish Open title last year.
Matthew Carder is the only Scot in the main draw and will face Luka Wraber of Austria in the first round with Christopher Grimley, Jack MacGregor and Ben Torrance all hoping to battle through the qualifying rounds.
MacGregor and Ciar Pringle will get to test themselves against Olympic bronze medallists Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge in the first round of the men's doubles while there is an intriguing tie for Christopher and Matthew Grimley, who face former champion Richard Eidestedt and his partner Peter Kaesbauer. Eidestedt won the title in 2008 while representing England, although he currently plays for Sweden.
In the bottom half of the draw Alex Dunn and Adam Hall play Russia's Konstantin Abramov and Alexandr Zinchenko in the first round with last year's runners-up Jacco Arends and Ruben Jille their likely second round opponents while last year's champions Jelle Maas and Robin Tabeling also face the prospect of an interesting second round match against talented French youngsters Christo and Toma Junior Popov.
In the women's doubles Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva are in outstanding form after their magnificent run to the finals of last week's French Open, which included wins over pairs ranked second and eighth in the world.
They start their Scottish Open campaign against Germany's Lisa Kaminski and Hannah Pohl while second seeds Selena Piek and Cheryl Seinen open against Czech opposition, with Eleanor O'Donnell and Ciara Torrance their potential second round opponents if the Scots can overcome England's Evie Burbidge and Zoe King in the first round.
Julie MacPherson and Holly Newall must win through qualifying to reach the main draw, where they would face eighth seeds Emma Karlsson and Johanna Magnusson of Sweden.
O'Donnell may also have to face Piek in the mixed doubles – if she and Alex Dunn win their first round tie against a pair from qualifying then third seeds Piek and Jacco Arends are their likely second round opponents.
In the same half of the draw if Hall and MacPherson beat Canadian opposition in the first round, they will probably face second seeds Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Herttrich in round two while top seeds Ellis and Lauren Smith start with a tricky tie against Denmark's Mathias Bay-Smidt and Rikke Søby.
Commenting on the draws Badminton Scotland chief executive Keith Russell said: "There are some really interesting matches right from the start of this year's Scottish Open Badminton Championships.
"There will be some fantastic talent on display including players such as Rasmus Gemke, Cai Yanyan, Line Kjaersfeldt and the Stoeva sisters who are regularly challenging, and beating, some of the best players in the world right now.
"Kirsty Gilmour will have to be on top of her game if she wants to progress and I'm looking forward to seeing Ciar Pringle and Jack MacGregor testing themselves against the current Olympic bronze medallists in the men's doubles.
"It will also be interesting to see how some of the younger players get on. The Grimley twins have an interesting first round match in the men's doubles, while players like Nhat Nguyen of Ireland and Christo and Toma Popov from France, young players who have shown their class at junior level, are also capable of springing a surprise over the more established senior players.
"I'm really looking forward to what will be a great event and I'd encourage as many fans as possible to get down to the Emirates Arena to take advantage of the chance to see some world class badminton on Scottish soil."

Thoughts after 1 quarter, MSU, Wisconsin
- If there was a knock on Russell Wilson at NC State, it was passing accuracy. That was a terrible throw on the interception.
- Kirk Cousins is throwing the ball well. That's the hope for MSU. That one big running play was an aberration. State will have to throw the ball to win this game.
- It's like there is an emotional hangover at Spartan Stadium after the win over Michigan. Granted, Wisconsin took the crowd out of it early. But they really weren't into at the beginning.
