Targeting Cancer in the Human Body
The signs and symptoms of cancer can greatly vary within the body, depending on the type of cancer and the stage. But regardless of type and stage, a depletion of the body's resources results in some common mental and physical stressors. Read More There are also numerous factors that can increase the progression of cancer. It is important to understand all of the secondary effects and effectors within the body to look for potential areas to target for prevention and treatment.
When a person learns they have cancer, often they become stressed, fearful and confused; they just can't relax. The body's resulting stress response allows the cancer to take over, even accelerate, the patient's depreciation. The field of psychoneuroimmunology is now looking at alternative ways to target cancer, in an individualistic and holistic manner, with a bigger focus on mental and emotional factors. NuCalm can help alleviate some of the psychological and physiological effects of cancer and improve quality of life by, predictably and rapidly, putting the brakes on the stress response, giving them peace of mind, clarity, balance and improved sleep quality.
Added Stress is Like a Second Diagnosis
A vicious cycle forms as a cancer diagnosis leads to psychological stress in the patient. Stress can interfere with healing behaviors. Difficulty sleeping and unhealthy coping mechanisms can worsen the condition. This in turn causes more stress. Read More
Chronic stress or toxic stress occurs when the body is in sympathetic nervous system (SNS) dominance for too long with an overactive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. An overworked SNS and HPA axis cause sustained high levels of epinephrine and cortisol even after an acute stress response ends. These hormones can significantly affect the tumor's local environment and studies have demonstrated that chronically high levels may lead to cancer growth and spread.
Norepinephrine and epinephrine instigate a cascade of consequences in the development and persistence of cancer such as angiogenesis (blood vessel growth in the tumor) as well as tumor cell migration and proliferation.
Chronic amounts of glucocorticoids in the body, like cortisol, inhibit chemotherapy's positive tumor-killing effects by "turning on" the tumor cells' survival genes.
Over the long-term, stress hormones also work to suppress the immune response. Our immune systems should play a vital role in fighting off the disease alongside the prescribed treatments, but when poorly functioning, it is little surprise that cancer progresses or recurs, or other illnesses develop.
Luckily, Stress is Now Easier to Manage
NuCalm is the world's only patented, clinically proven neuroscience technology to manage stress without drugs or side effects. NuCalm is a reset button that dramatically lowers the stress response and allows the body's natural healing processes to thrive. Read More
NuCalm is designed to treat stress. It acts directly on the stress-responding systems embedded in the center of the brain including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
The HPA axis is supposed to turn off after a stressful experience, but cannot do so in chronic stress. NuCalm resets this feedback loop by inhibiting the activity in this region with GABA supplementation (the inhibitory neurotransmitter) and cranial electrical stimulation (responsible for facilitating the absorption of GABA). Greater inhibitory activity is linked to less stress and anxiety, as it brings about a state of calm and relaxation.
NuCalm allows not only the patient but also families and friends of the patient to deal with their stress head-on. Alleviating chronic stress is essential for the patient's immune function and recovery. Alleviating stress in the patient's support network is equally important because research shows that patients with better social support are less likely to regress in their disease.
NuCalm relieves patients of their stress and gives them the opportunity to focus on their health and recovery.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Dysfunction
There is an unfavorable two-way relationship between cancer and the autonomic nervous system. As cancer grows, the ANS becomes more imbalanced. As the ANS is more imbalanced, it may actually be supporting the tumor's development. Read More
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is adversely affected by cancer and by cancer treatments. These consequences are often under-evaluated by physicians during checkups and likely worsen a patient's quality of life.
Primary ANS tumors are located in ANS structures like the adrenal medulla, or the sympathetic or parasympathetic nerves. One clinical symptom of these types of tumors, caused by the oversecretion of norepinephrine and/or epinephrine, may be severe sustained or episodic hypertension.
Non-primary ANS tumors are not located in the ANS structures but still indirectly contribute to autonomic dysfunction. Tumors in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) can over-excite the brain causing seizures. Tumors affecting the peripheral nervous system or organs outside of the nervous system entirely may be associated with a variety of autonomic syndromes which affect the autonomic regulation of the cardiorespiratory, digestive and immune systems.
Finally, autonomic nerves can interact with cancerous cells as a malignant tumor grows and develops its own blood vasculature. Studies have shown that increased neurotransmitter and hormone release from ANS cells into cancer cells can actually favor the unhindered growth and development of malignant tumors.
Maintain ANS Balance with NuCalm
The body needs ANS balance to have a good shot at fighting cancer. NuCalm suspends the body into parasympathetic dominance allowing the ANS to shift away from a stressed, overly excited, sympathetic state and giving the body the opportunity for rest and recovery. Read More
NuCalm is a patented neurotechnology that restores autonomic nervous system (ANS) balance. It has the potential to alleviate some of the effects that stress, chronic inflammation and cancer have on the ANS. NuCalm can affect the ANS in two ways: it entrains the brainwaves to frequency ranges associated with catecholamine production and it increases overall brain inhibition allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to prosper.
A low heart rate variability (HRV) (little changes in heartbeat frequencies) can be indicative of an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the ANS. HRV analysis can show which arm of the ANS is dominant. In Dr. Hranicky's cancer patients, it was evident that the sympathetic nervous system was in control. However, after only 5 min of NuCalm these patients showed on average a 92% decrease in sympathetic power. The ratio of the sympathetic versus the parasympathetic also decreased, suggesting that the body entered a state of parasympathetic dominance.
When the body is parasympathetically dominant, it has the opportunity to combat some of the ANS dysfunction brought on by cancer. Using NuCalm as a supplemental treatment may be highly beneficial in helping reduce certain ANS symptoms of cancer and benefits cancer patients on multiple fronts.
Sleep Disturbances
Cancer itself and treatment side effects, as well as stress, ANS dysfunction, and inflammation, can gravely disrupt a patient's sleep. This lowers quality of life and worsens immune function – neither of which are helpful when battling cancer. Read More
Review studies have confirmed that there are high rates (25-59%) of sleep disturbances in cancer patients, yet despite this prevalence, they are not properly being addressed. Chronic stress, particularly with its high cortisol and epinephrine levels, leads to an overactive HPA axis, ANS dysfunction, and an excess of inflammatory proteins, all of which affect circadian rhythms and the sleep-wake cycle.
Insomnia syndrome may be the most common sleep disturbance in cancer patients and is classified by the inability to fall asleep at night, restless and non-restorative sleep, daytime fatigue, and overall cognitive impairment. Additionally, one of cancer treatments' biggest side effect is fatigue. Patients generally have a lower quality of life because of this.
Not only is sleep disruption a consequence of cancer but it may actually propel the disease forward. Immune system function is highly dependent on restful sleep. Research has shown that disrupted circadian rhythms can negatively affect the immune and inflammatory response which may actually enable the progression of cancer.
Current sleep therapies for cancer patients include behavioral therapy, exercise therapy or pharmacotherapy. However, studies testing the efficacy of these therapies showed that all were minimally successful in treating the sleep disturbances in cancer patients.
Get the Sleep You Need
NuCalm works wonders on a patient's sleep quality and their recovery process. In a chemical and electrical manner, NuCalm improves sleep by resetting the ANS and circadian rhythms. One session of NuCalm provides the restorative benefits of two hours of sleep. Read More
NuCalm gets your brain chemically and electrically ready for sleep or for the equivalent restorative purpose of it. The NuCalm Biosignal Processing Disc decreases neural excitation and allows inhibition to take over. The neuroacoustic software brings your brainwaves down to the verge of sleep and wakefulness.
Research at Harvard Medical School showed that 45 min of NuCalm is equivalent to 2 hours of sleep. This efficient sleep-like meditation gives the body the chance to heal, by rebooting its immune system and rest, by resetting its circadian rhythms. The immune system and sleep-wake cycle are negatively affected in cancer patients suffering from insomnia syndrome. None of the current sleep therapies focus on treating the root causes of the sleep disturbances in cancer patients like sympathetic dominance, chronic inflammation or the homeostatic perturbations (changes to internal balance), but NuCalm does. NuCalm gives patients the opportunity to rest in a more efficient manner to help smooth their recovery.
The Effects of Cancer Treatments
Cancer treatments, although necessary for defeating cancer, often cause many adverse side effects. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can negatively impact the autonomic nervous system possibly leading to hair loss, fatigue, nausea, and autonomic dysfunctions. Read More
Surgery and radiation target a cancerous tumor directly. Surgery removes a tumor, whereas radiation destroys it with high energy. Chemotherapy targets cancer cells that may have metastasized throughout the body. Chemotherapy includes a variety of drugs that can destroy, shrink or control cancer.
The negative side effects of chemotherapy are better known but surgery or radiation therapy may induce an autonomic syndrome originating at the target site of cancer and its treatment, as well as side effects of fatigue and skin changes.
Since chemo works all throughout the body, it will likely affect healthy cells in parallel to cancerous ones. The cells most likely affected are:
– Blood forming cells; accounting for the bruising, bleeding, and low cell oxygenation
– Hair follicle cells; inducing hair loss
– Digestive or reproductive cells; damaging peripheral nerves responsible for gland or organ function and causing side effects of nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and changes to appetite or libido
Many chemotherapy drugs can also lead to increased heart rate and decreased heart rate variability, both signs of an imbalanced autonomic nervous system. As less oxygen is delivered to the brain patients may experience cognitive issues, fatigue, or "chemo brain". All cancer treatments are given with the weighted consideration of benefit versus harm. However, it may be worth investigating adjunctive and complementary treatments aimed at alleviating these negative side effects.
A Forced Time Out
In resetting the autonomic nervous system, NuCalm may alleviate some of the adverse side effects brought on by cancer treatments. But not only that, it gives patients a much needed escape from their disease and difficult recovery process. Read More
NuCalm gives cancer patients a forced time out. It gracefully suspends the body into a restful and restorative state. Here, the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is in full swing to overcome the autonomic imbalances brought on by chemo, radiation or surgery.
NuCalm can effectively manage the stress response and reduce vagus nerve overstimulation, thus remediating nausea, chemo fog, and improving sleep quality. Deep relaxation, coupled with newfound emotional safety, interrupts the patient's negative stress response, making way for a new, healthier response. It allows for recuperation and a reboot of the system that can provide resiliency and regeneration.
The PNS is referred to as the "rest and digest" branch of our autonomic nervous system. It gives cells within our digestive and reproductive systems the chance to reboot and reset both electrically and chemically. It may help reduce the side effects of nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite or libido.
During NuCalm, diaphragmatic breathing occurs in which respiration is reduced to one breath every ten seconds. With this type of breathing heart rate lowers and oxygen delivery is optimized. This can help counteract the cognitive side effects of cancer treatments and alleviate "chemo brain" and fatigue.
Many cancer patients are using NuCalm to not only control the side effects of their treatments, but also to relieve their anxiety about their diagnosis and their treatment. Gail Zeemer, who was gifted a NuCalm system to help her manage the stress of cancer recovery, remarks: "NuCalm has been an important part of my journey to wellness. It allows me to fully rest, recover and heal after difficult treatments. More importantly, it allows me precious time during the day to give my mind and body a break. When I use NuCalm, it's the ONLY time I don't think about cancer."
The Effect of Chronic Inflammation
Research has demonstrated that chronic inflammation may increase one's risk of developing cancer, and contribute to the growth, spread, and immunity of cancer. Chronic inflammation is linked to chronic stress and ANS dysfunction, and together these present a dangerous combination for patients. Read More
Inflammation is the immune system's response to tissue damage brought on by infection, injury or irritation. It is essential to our body's primary defense and if all goes smoothly will aid in fixing the problem. However, if inflammation persists for a longer-than-normal period, the inflammatory cells negatively impact the affected region. Chronic inflammation is related chronic stress and ANS dysfunction and in these conditions the body does not function at its best. Research has shown that chronic inflammation increases the risk of cancer development and progression.
Inflammatory cells produce very reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen that, during neighboring cell division, can interact with and possibly mutate DNA. Any cell with damaged DNA has the potential to develop into cancer if not properly repaired. Even as a tumor develops, certain tumor-released inflammatory proteins may disrupt or inhibit DNA repair, thereby furthering mutations.
Chronic inflammation may also lead to angiogenesis (growth of blood vessels) and metastasis (spread of cancer cells). Think of it like this: As times passes the inflammatory cells linger around no longer accomplishing anything (chronic inflammation) so they get hijacked by a tumor. The tumor then uses their growth factors to grow, to spread out its cells, to build its own blood vessels, and to prevent itself from being killed by cancer treatments. If a tumor is inflammatory in nature then it can also release signals to recruit more inflammatory cells to hijack them too. Although the mechanisms of this are still being studied, it is understood that this positive feedback loop is difficult to escape but could be a target for cancer intervention.
Let NuCalm Help You Heal
NuCalm can interfere with the negative cascade of reactions that chronic inflammation produces in cancer. The meditative and restorative state that NuCalm induces, optimizes oxygen delivery and boosts immune system function to help cancer patients through their recovery. Read More
NuCalm's neuroacoustic software suspends the brain and the body into a meditative and restorative state. The brainwaves can be entrained to the theta frequency range, which is associated with light REM sleep, meditation, and deep restoration. This state gives the body the opportunity to heal and here, diaphragmatic breathing dominates. This type of breathing allows for maximum diffusion of oxygen into the circulatory system, thus, increasing the amount of oxygenated red blood cells being delivered to vital organs. This more efficient circulation may help clear up some of the inflammatory response. Additionally, NuCalm decreases the stress response, thereby, preventing chronic inflammation from developing or sustaining, in the first place.
NuCalm can interfere with the negative cascade of reactions that chronic inflammation produces cancer. NuCalm is another method that Dr. Hranicky describes as an important addition to the CCWP, as its use can help heal cancer patients, on some level, who are struggling with the depletion of their body's resources.
Caregiving: A Rewarding But Stressful Role
Caregivers provide immensely valuable practical, physical and emotional support to cancer patients. However, the immense responsibility, taxing hours and emotional turmoil often leads to the development of chronic stress and possibly burnout, which benefits neither the caregiver or patient. Read More
Caregivers play an incredibly important role in a cancer patient's battle with cancer. Often the caregiver is a family member or close friend to the patient. They too deal with many emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, guilt, and stress concerning the patient's cancer diagnosis and consequent treatment.
Caregiver tasks range from household support to personal hygiene to prescription drug administration and consume on average 24 hours a week (but the time devoted to caregiving is greater with patient age and illness severity). The average duration of a caregiver's role is four years, which is a long period heavily devoted to providing around-the-clock care.
For the length of time spent caregiving, along with the tremendous responsibility and emotional turmoil, caregiver burnout is quite common. This is referred to as the physical, mental and emotional exhaustion developed from providing care. Symptoms of caregiver burnout include disruptions to sleep and appetite, reduced immune system function, and scattered emotions and cognitive performance. It puts the caregiver at risk for developing other mood disorders and manifests in many physical problems within the body. This burnout is neither healthy for the caregiver nor the patient. A stressed, vulnerable and exhausted caregiver is unlikely to be able to provide adequate care to the patient and the patient may begin to feel neglected or burdensome, leading to added stress which interferes with their recovery process.
Take Care of Yourself
So You Can Take Care of Those You Love
A caregiver must prioritize their health and well-being in order to provide good care to their loved ones. NuCalm can prevent caregiver burnout. As it does for patients, NuCalm gives caregivers that much-needed break. Read More
As a caregiver, taking care of yourself isn't a luxury – it is a necessity. It's a long ride as a caregiver and top emotional and physical health are important for both the caregiver and the patient.
There are numerous simple ways to prevent caregiver burnout.
– Maintaining a social life and prioritizing activities which bring joy
– Sharing the responsibility of care among family and friends/asking for professional care help
– Exercising regularly and eating healthy
– Sleeping enough and taking breaks
– Practicing mindfulness and feeling empowered
NuCalm can help with the last two points in particular. NuCalm gives caregivers that much needed rest. It suspends the body into a restorative state that is on the verge of sleep, which can provide all the benefits of sleep and reset the sleep-wake cycle to encourage better nighttime sleep quality. NuCalm has also been compared to a deep meditation. While immersed in the NuCalm experience, and on the cusp of the alpha/theta brainwaves, feelings of self-reflection, gratefulness, empowerment, and focus are able to replace negative emotions and memories.
Dr. Janet Hranicky's testimonial…
Janet Hranicky, Ph.D., an internationally renowned expert on the connection between psychoneuroimmunology and cancer, has added the patented NuCalm technology to her arsenal to help patients better cope with, and even fight, cancer. Read More Over the past 30 years, Dr. Hranicky, has taught thousands of cancer patients how to cope and trained thousands of healthcare professionals in innovative therapies.
"I incorporated NuCalm in the Comprehensive Cancer Wellness Program because of its proven ability to remediate stress at the midbrain level without drugs or psychotherapeutic intervention. There is extensive research in the literature that shows a strong correlation between stress, psychological factors, and cancer. Evidence exists linking an individual's stress response to, not only the development and course of cancer, but also to their response to treatment. The more we can help people down-regulate stress physiology, the more we can help up-regulate the immune system and other healing mechanisms.
I focus a lot on cognitive behavioral interventions – helping people think healthier, to have healthier emotional responses, to have healthier, richer, more meaningful experiences and awareness to the things in their life so that they're not upsetting themselves in the ways that they previously used to. My experiences have shown that people can only 'think themselves well' so much, before they encounter a roadblock, because what really becomes important is neural coherence in the brain.
The preliminary results of our NuCalm research study are indicating a definite impact on strengthening the parasympathetic nervous system and down-regulating stress physiology, as evidenced by pre and post testing of patient Heart Rate Variability (HRV). NuCalm relaxes the body within minutes, creating a state of deep relaxation which allows the old limbic area of the brain to experience a state of perceived safety and comfort. This feeling of safety and comfort triggers a parasympathetic response and the chemical changes physiologically connected with it. When the old brain is calm and feels safe, the frontal cortex can experience synchronicity and flow throughout the entire organism and allow the person to go into a state of deep relaxation – perhaps, deeper than they might have gone for a long, long time. That state, we know, is a healing state. Going into and having periods of deep, restorative rest and relaxation is hugely important for getting better, getting well, and for creating optimal health and wellness. For most patients, there has been a chronic stress physiology involved with cancer, both before the diagnosis and, then, for sure, secondary to having a diagnosis. The NuCalm state of deep relaxation allows for recuperation and a reboot of the system that can provide the resiliency necessary to come back to where regeneration can occur. Regeneration occurs when we can bring down the stress physiology because the immune system, the hormonal system, and all of the healing mechanisms will begin to buoy back up and begin to self-regulate again. NuCalm can create regular states of deep relaxation and comfort to attain the coherency in the brain necessary for regulating balance and homeostasis for health. This state of relaxation and comfort is pivotal to the work I do in psychoneuroimmunology in cancer.
The addition of NuCalm brings a 21st century technology and a whole new dimension of help. Over three decades, I have used a range of techniques and therapies to help patients manage stress, but none has provided consistently predictable and reliable outcomes –until now. NuCalm has a profound impact on people's lives, mine included."
– Dr. Janet Hranicky
Dr. Jacki Campisi's patient testimonial…
NuCalm is being used today to help manage stress for cancer patients and their families. Here is the story of Jackie and Greg that continues to inspire us all. Read More
"NuCalm seemed too good to be true… that I could do this easy 4-step process and become relaxed within minutes, and better yet, achieve the theta healing state. I called my husband, Greg to come attend the next demonstration and experience this for himself. We were both blown away by the experience of NuCalm and left the demonstration feeling relaxed, clear headed, and filled with positive energy.
Greg and I were dealing with intense life changes, and NuCalm couldn't have come at a better time. Six years earlier, a stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis turned our lives upside down. I was forced to close my optometric practice of 25 years, and Greg shut down his business in order to care for me. At the same time, the housing bubble burst, and we lost our investment properties, our home, and our health insurance. We persevered, and I recovered only to be confronted a few years later by a diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic cancer to the spine. The pain and the cancer required me to have 7 vertebrae fused with 17 inch Harrington rods, down both sides of my back, in a 9 hour surgery. This, of course, labeled me disabled, terminally ill, and I was given 6 months to get my affairs in order. Our children were about to enter high school and college. Greg decided to move us south to Florida where, at least, I would be safe from falling on ice.
One month after purchasing our NuCalm system, I learned that the rods in my spine were both severed after just being inserted 9 months earlier. How could this be? How will I endure another 9-hour surgery and recovery? Fear and panic consumed me immediately! I began feeling instant unbearable pain, where there was none prior to seeing the X-ray. I used my NuCalm, right there in the doctor's office, and it completely relaxed me and reset me, emotionally and physically. I regained my composure and was then able to ask appropriate questions, rather than blurting out emotions. We decided that the surgical correction could wait until there were complications. I'll never forget the overwhelming feeling of being "broken," and how NuCalm helped me cope – immediately.
One week later, my mother suffered a stroke. I used NuCalm to, not only handle my own concerns, but I also NuCalmed my mother in the hospital during her recovery. She recovered in record time to the amazement of everyone. The people who observed her recovery started asking how we were managing all of this. It's simple really… stress negatively impacts healing and recovery, and NuCalm lowers stress.
Greg and I now live in the present moment and respond to life's twists, rather than reacting to them with useless drama and emotion. A '6 months to live' diagnosis turned into 2 years of living life in the present and enjoying each day. NuCalm has helped me manage stress, avoid unhealthy food choices, avoid a second spinal surgery, and stay alive. I believe this is the secret to our success and wellness. Without NuCalm, the anxiety of living with a terminal illness, an unstable spine, and loss of financial freedom, would have been too much to process. When our lives seemed to be in pieces, NuCalm brought us peace, comfort, and clarity."
– Dr. Jackie Campisi
What is cancer?
The malignant tumor is the cancerous one; the unfair opponent to our human biological system; the most feared disease by society. The term cancer actually describes a collection of separate diseases originating in different areas of the body but all characterized by that malignant tumor – the mutated, uncontrolled, and unrestricted mass of cells. Read More
The human body is comprised of trillions of cells all built from the codes, or genes, in our unique genome or DNA sequence. The development and growth of cells are tightly regulated by the instructions embedded in one's DNA. However, it is possible that these instructions can get mixed up due to mutations or random changes to the sequence caused by external or innate factors. If certain mutations affect the genes related to the regulation of cell growth, development, or DNA repair, cells may begin to grow uncontrollably without suppression or correction. This forms an invasive mass of mutated cells referred to as a tumor and this could develop anywhere in the body. A tumor could be benign or malignant; the difference being that benign cells cannot spread anywhere in the body to potentially form further tumors but malignant cells can. The malignant tumor is the cancerous one; the unfair opponent to our human biological system; the most feared disease by society. The term cancer actually describes a collection of separate diseases originating in different areas of the body but all characterized by that malignant tumor – the mutated, uncontrolled, and unrestricted mass of cells.
Cancer is a very complex disease that has always devastated the human population. Everyone has likely been affected by the disease in some way or another, as it is the second leading cause of death after heart disease, and will be diagnosed in approximately 38.4% of men and women at some point in their lives. It is, however, evident that cancer research, screening, and treatment have come a long way; there has been a greater than 26% decrease in the cancer mortality rate in the US since the 1990s. Nevertheless, this disease is a tremendous burden on society and such a diagnosis can alter the lives of cancer patients and their families forever.

John Log 10- Horta, Island of Faial, AzoresPosted by John Newhoff on Saturday, June 16th, 2007 at 4:49 am
I'm sitting in a small restaurant two streets back from the waterfront waiting for the rest of the crew to meet for lunch. David, Tni, and Jeff went back to Rosario to move her so that a boat rafted inside of us on the quay can depart for points unknown. We were three out from the quay last night with two more sailboats rafted to us for a total of five. Captain David wasn't too excited about having people using Rosario as a walkway. The boats on both sides of us were from Holland. Tni and I helped a dutch couple moor to Rosario when they arrived. They seemed just thrilled to have finally arrived in Horta as we were.
I spent the morning wandering around the back streets of Horta by myself. The roads are all stone, paved with a basalt type rock and the sidewalks are inlaid with a white stone to create repeating patterns. Different patterns on different streets. Very picturesque. I imagine that rather quickly, you wouldn't have too look at street names or shops, you'd know where you are by which pattern you were looking at on the sidewalks.
I spent a bit of time in the main church in town. All of the churches I've visited so far in the Azores are a bit different than Catholic churches in the US. The patron saint of the church gets center stage behind the altar, rather than Jesus on the cross as is typical in the US. I was the only one in the church this morning. Sunday Mass is at 11:00am tomorrow morning and I might attend, though of course I won't understand much.
It started raining pretty hard for a brief while and I ducked into a very small market to wait it out. I ended up staying for 15 or 20 minutes along with a couple of other people doing the same thing. I had an iced tea while I was waiting. Didn't seem polite to wait out the weather in this store without purchasing something.
The arrival here was uneventful yesterday morning. We arrived around 8:00am, having made over 7 knots during the passage from Flores. The weather continued to be partly cloudy and the 7000 foot summit of the island we were approaching was hidden in clouds.
At the customs/fuel dock we rafted up to Leocat and then Sarah Grace, two boats we'd had discussions with over the radio during the last week and a half. Leocat is catamaran from Quebec and had three crewmen aboard. Sarah Grace is a monohull out of Great Britain. Customs and fueling went very quickly and we motored over to our assigned moorage. David had us loading up with water and washing the boat for an hour or so.
While we were cleaning up the boat, someone from Bobo, another sailboat in the rally to Portugal that we are in, came by and invited us to lunch, which we did after finishing up the cleaning chores. The four of us from Rosario, two from Bobo, and one person from another sailboat named Cochise enjoyed quite an amazing lunch. We all sat in the cockpit of Bobo and had a first course of cheese, wine, prociutto, cashews, potato chips, and a small cheese pizza. This was followed by a delicious rice and onion dish (with a hint of curry) and chicken. Dessert was large bowls of fresh fruit.
After lunch, I was finally able to enjoy my first shower in three weeks. We had a couple of stops in the middle of the atlantic during calm seas where we took a dip in the ocean, soaped up, then rinsed off with a small amount of fresh water, but nothing to compare with a nice long hot shower. Flores had public showers, but no hot water, so I didn't bother there.
For dinner on our first day in Horta we met up with people from several other boats (Leocat, Sarah Grace, Stella Maris) at Peter's Cafe Sport. In the cruising world, this is a very famous bar/restaurant. I had a meat kabob that had pieces of beef, onions, and peppers on a skewer. They served it hanging vertically from a hook. Very tasty. Chocolate cake and ice cream followed for dessert. The walls are decorated with the flags of boats whose captains have tacked them up on the walls over the years.
Over dinner we all discussed the vagaries of the weather experienced during the passage from Bermuda. Leocat had done the same thing we had in diverting to Flores and spending a couple of days there. Sarah Grace and Stella Maris had both come straight to Horta and so had spent several more consecutive days at sea than we had.
The informal radio nets that boats use to communicate with each other on passage really build relationships quickly. Everyone (and I mean virtually everyone) listens to Herb (see report #1) every night, and then discuss via radio other weather reports (like the national weather service) and Herb's recommendations, as well as exchanging position reports with each other. As a result, you end up knowing the sound of everyone's voices and a bit about what they experienced during the passage before you ever meet them in person and it almost seems like a reunion rather than a first time meeting. Lots of fun.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Friends and family met Friday night to remember a KCK man, in the same place he lost his life.
The 34-year-old was hit by a car and killed earlier this week. Initially the driver fled, but turned himself in and was charged.
The victim's family says they are praying for him as they met to remember 34-year-old Darrin Smith where he took his last breath.
They say Smith was walking home when he was hit by a car and killed. Family members sang church hymns and released balloons in memory of Smith.
Police say the driver, 33-year-old Lucious Moore fled the scene originally but turned himself in. Some of Smith's family says they aren't holding a grudge against the suspect and are even praying for him.
"We pray for them his family. You know, I just hope everything works out for him in the long run," James Edward Ford Sr. said.
Moore is charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving injury or death. He's being held at the Wyandotte County Jail on $75,000 bond.

With a
strong mastery of the uphiso form and an eye for a subtly flattened slope
towards the mouth of izinkamba, Jabu Nala has built a reputation for herself in
the South African ceramic art world. Her creation of larger vessels,
banded design work and improvisations using the inkanyezi, or star design have
been a sold basis for her creativity. Jabu has been creating clay beer pots in
the traditional Zulu way. She was taught by her mother Nesta, who developed a
world-wide reputation for her classical forms and finely finished beer pots.
The clay is
hand-dug in two places near to her home. One is red and other grey. The
clay is then ground using a traditional Zulu grinding-stone and then sieved
through a sieve or a piece of net curtain. It is then dried and put into a ten
gallon iron drum with 50% water. The clay is then left to mature and then
wedged and rolled into balls. The pots are hand-coiled and then smoothed with a
piece of calabash or old spoon. When leather-hard they are burnished with
river pebbles and then decorated with incised patterns or added "warts" of clay
using an ancient design called "Amansumpa". Soft "warts" of clay
are inserted on the surface with a clay slip and smoothed into the
surface with a river pebble. The pots are then left to dry
firing, pieces of coal are put into the pots and warmed up to make sure that
the pots are completely dry. They are then placed on their sides in a
special pattern and covered over with dried grass, aloe leaves and
stalks. The grass is then lit and then the aloe leaves catch fire - the
firing lasts approximately 3 hours depending on weather conditions.
A second
firing takes place to smoke the pots black. The pots are placed on a
metal tripod and turned with a stick over the flames to ensure an even
smoking. When thoroughly blackened, the pots are then cooled. They
are then rubbed with animal fat or oil and burnished to make them shine.

I am terribly excited about this little project. In truth, I created this as a personalized gift of family peg art for a Christmas gift but so fell in love with the idea that I ended up making it for my own home. This one is mine. A little miniature version of my family that I have on the mantel of our fireplace.
"We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites." Find our full disclosure here.
My favorite of the peg family is Nate. I captured his beard, flannel, and shaved head so well… so adorable!
This project it far, far easier than you might think and doesn't require special paints or equipment. You need wooden peg dolls (I get my peg dolls from Amazon), Sharpies, strong glue, and a shadow box. Really!
Use the Sharpies to color in the clothing for the peg people. Don't go for anything fancy if you aren't an artist. Heck, you could even color the peg people a solid color from head to toe, if you like. Make Dad blue, Mom pink, Brother green, and Sister purple or something like that.
If you ARE so inclined to go a bit more creative try to capture the clothing style of the people you are creating the project for as much as possible.
The color will bleed down as you color. Try to hold your peg people so that the color bleeds in the direction YOU want. Also remember to do your lightest colors first and then add in the dark ones.
This shadow box was from the picture frame section of my local Target… easy to find. And a bit more expensive than what you can probably find on Amazon, at a craft store, or perhaps even a dollar store. In my case, though, I simply wanted to pick it up and finish this project so I was willing to pay a bit more. Do what works for you. The goal is to grab a shadow box of some sort that is large enough to hold the entire peg family.
After you get your peg dolls personalized with the Sharpies it is simply a matter of laying out the dolls on the shadow box to check the spacing before glueing the backs to the shadow box. Do NOT skip checking the spacing and the way it looks before glueing. Take those few minutes to get a feel for how it looks. Try the peg family all tight next to each other, or spread out a bit.
For a fun addition, craft a small plaque with the families last name for the frame.
Set something heavy on top of the dolls while they dry so that they adhere to the shadow box as strongly as possible.
My favorite DIY gift idea of the season so far is personal, easy, and inexpensive to make! pic.twitter.com/CjJYJvSW2j
— NellieBellie (@miznelliebellie) November 12, 2015
I just can't. This is one of my favorite things in my tiny house. Ever. Okay, one of my favorite crafts on NellieBellie. Ever. I absolutely plan on making several more for some of my favorite families… I am sure they will love theirs just as much as I do. Seriously, too cute!

HUNDREDS of pupils were back at school in Wirral today (Wednesday, September 24) one week after a blaze at their school.
Rock Ferry high's main building was destroyed after an electrical fault sparked a fire.
Year nine pupils were allowed back today. Parents of year seven and eight pupils will be sent letters this afternoon telling them their children will be back in lessons next Tuesday.
The school has brought in two mobile science laboratories for lessons while building work is carried out.
Deputy headteacher Cath Burke said: "It is difficult in the short term but we are hopeful it will mean in the long term we get state-of-the-art science labs.
"Everyone has pulled together and staff morale is good. We are just trying to get back to normal."
The blaze started at 5.30pm last Tuesday above the science laboratories and swept through ceiling ducts.
Police cordoned off roads surrounding the building and 80 firefighters, with back-up from specialist crews, were called to the scene.

OMG the floors are toooooooo much. I have been trying to picture the fir floors that would be under the linoleum. Most recently I've seen this floor under the ugly black glue and mess of the post-linoleum age. But here they are, sanded with a first layer of finish still drying, and they are fabulous. Just gorgeous.
Hopefully harmony will spill over into other parts of my life—like the part I'm intentionally turning to chaos. What was I thinking?

In a recent post I shared a little of our busy year in selling, buying and renovating. You can read a little about that here.
Today I wanted to share with you some of the details of selling our old house and buying our new house in Hobart, Tasmania.
Buying a home in Tasmania
To commence a search to buy a home in Tasmania, the internet is your friend. Most properties will find their way onto www.realestate.com.au and once you know where you want to live you can search in your price range. Although I have written before about the pros and cons of searching online, which you can read here.
However it is preferable to start online rather than the old approach of just talking to one or two local real estate agents. You will find that agents in Tasmania, even in the bigger cities, tend to have listings across a broad geographic area. Most do not focus in just one or two suburbs or towns. As such, the full range of properties available for sale in the area you wish to live will be listed with many agents. To look at the whole market, start online. Then start talking to the agents for the properties that you think will suit you.
For us the search was a quick one, instigated by chance when seeing our new house advertised – a house we had considered buying three years before. It reminded us of how much we would love to live in Kingston Beach, now that the reasons for originally choosing Sandy Bay were not so relevant for us. Luckily, given the area of Kingston Beach on the flat close to the beach is so small, there were four houses for sale that were within budget and of the size we wanted. This meant we could inspect those too and work out the best option for us.
When we offered to buy the house we included a condition that we needed to sell our existing house first, within 90 days of the contract date. Happily this condition was acceptable to the vendors and we agreed on a price. We were lucky that the vendors chose not to include a clause, commonly called the '48 hour clause'. If included, this would mean they could continue to market the property within that time and if they received another offer they wanted to accept then they could give us 48 hours to decide whether to proceed with the sale without our selling clause, or get out of the contract. If we walked away they would be able to accept an alternative offer.
In Tasmania, offers to buy property tend to be made in writing and you will be asked to complete a contract. A written offer is not required by legislation but it is the process followed by most real estate agents. The real estate agent is legally required to present this offer to the vendor.
If your offer is accepted the vendor will also sign the contract and it will be legally binding. If further negotiation takes place then the contract will be amended and may move back and forth between you and the vendor a number of times. Once both parties are happy and have signed all amendments the contract is legally binding.
When purchasing property, it is important to remember that there is not a cooling off period on the contract, as exists in some states of Australia.
You are bound by the contract. If necessary you may be able to negotiate conditions to the contract such as the sale of another property, securing finance or a building or pest inspection with the contract only becoming unconditional if these conditions are met.
Excerpt from The Move to Tasmania Toolkit
Selling a home in Tasmania
So within a week of the idea to look at properties in Kingston Beach we had a contract on our new house. Exciting! Although the excitement was mixed with uncertainty as we needed to get our current house sold. The clock was ticking…
The week we had been running around inspecting properties in Kingston Beach and before we had a contract to buy, we were already talking to agents about our current home. We ended up asking four agents to do an appraisal of the property. This includes their marketing plan and pricing strategy.
Each agent had similar ideas on price, plus we didn't want that to determine who we chose. We went with an agent I already knew and whose approach to the marketing of the property was targeted and felt right for us. We signed up with Melinda Warren from Nest Property in Sandy Bay. We are quick decision makers and had chosen our sales agent by the time we had a contract on the new house. We were ready to go with inspections a few days later.
A few pointers about the process and the costs
- Agents in Tasmania follow a sales commission table for the industry. However this is always negotiable and tends to range between 3 to 5%. There are some agencies that have a fixed amount of commission, not related to the sale price.
- You do pay extra for advertising in the newspaper, which is expensive. However in Hobart at least it is still a great source of leads, despite the dominance of the internet. Listing online is now a given and you can pay more for a featured listing to ensure you are higher in the search results.
- You can pay for professional photos and some agents will offer to do them for you for free. We chose the free option as Melinda spends a lot of time on the shots and knows what she is doing with a camera.
- Similarly you can pay for a professional floor plan to be created. We went with a simple floor plan at no additional cost.
- Open homes are common in the first few weeks of a listing but the numbers coming along can then drop off. You may then choose to only have private inspections (which you offer from day one).
What we learned and may do differently
- Despite our best intentions, we grasped onto the high end of the price range proposed by the agents we spoke with. We ended up selling for around the price I originally thought before we spoke with anyone!
- We started with a higher price and reduced this a few weeks later when the interest reduced. We did get a valuer in to confirm our suspicions that we had started too high.
- We did some maintenance on the house prior to listing and as part of this considered painting the outside of the house. We didn't and I think it had an impact as the street appeal was less than ideal. We ended up getting the painting done and the house sold within a few days. Probably a coincidence in terms of timing, but it was one less thing for buyers to deduct from their offer price.
We had 90 days to sell our house and we ended up with a conditional contract to sell half way in. The contract had a finance clause, which is incredibly common in contracts in Tasmania and probably elsewhere. The buyers said they had pre-approval, but still it was a further two weeks or so before we could celebrate an unconditional contract and put up the sold sign. Very happy indeed!
Then the fun started. We had agreed to a 23 day settlement. Crazy!!
That is a story for the next post.
If you are looking to buy property in Tasmania and would like some help with the process, or even have us undertake the search for you, then please have a look at our range of relocation services.

Rain slows down opening day at 2016 IFAF Flag Football World Championships
Canada's men and women off to promising starts in Miami
Canada's men's and women's flag football national teams were scheduled to play two games apiece on Thursday, however, the weather limited each team to a single contest. Canada's men were able to play through heavy rain on-route to a 27-7 victory over Korea while Canada's women opened with a strong 32-7 win against France after having their game pushed back.
The conditions shut down play around mid-day as a continuous heavy downpour made the playing surface at Brian Piccolo Park in Hollywood, Florida too wet to continue. As a result of the weather delay, Canada's men's matchup with Italy and women's matchup against the U.S. have been moved from Thursday to Friday.
Canadian men off to a good start
Under the heavy precipitation, Canada's men's national team opened their tournament early Thursday morning with a 27-7 win over (South) Korea. Quarterback Chase Bradshaw threw for four touchdowns including strikes to Kit Hillis and Mitch Stevens.
"We found our offensive rhythm early but when the rain started coming down as hard as it did our execution became more difficult. You could see it on both sides as everyone had trouble scoring," said Canada's men's flag football national team head coach, Chad Palmer.
With the revised schedule, the squad will need to wait another day to take on rival Italy who defeated Canada in both the 2010 and 2014 men's bronze medal games, albeit against a completely different roster.
"We're not focused on what happened in previous years," explained Palmer. "It's a must win game for us — we're focused on finishing first in our pool."
Canada's men open Friday's action with another tough matchup as they face reigning silver medalist Mexico.
Women battle through weather delay
A six-hour delay in the women's national team's tournament opener against France did little to dampen an experienced Canada squad that's core has remained intact for almost a decade.
Canada pulled ahead early following a pair of touchdown strikes from quarterback Vanessa Birri to Joanie Lanthier and Audrey Sauvé-Desjardins. France narrowed the deficit to one touchdown until Émilie Carrier ran the ball into the end zone to retain the two score Canada advantage. Lanthier and Sauvé-Desjardins added their second majors on the night to make the final score 32-7 for Canada.
"The game was good in general but we were a bit rusty and you could tell," said women's national team head coach François Bougie. "France has really improved since the last worlds and they gave us a good first game to start the tournament."
Canada's matchup with the U.S., originally scheduled for Thursday afternoon, has been moved to Friday at noon. It's a rematch of the 2014 gold medal game.
"We won't change our preparation to play Team USA tomorrow (Friday)," said Bougie. "We don't want to show them too much in case we play them again in finals."

Toddler Tales (11): Expressing Himself
Since he started speaking, Little Dude has been focusing on his language. But more importantly, he is now trying to use his ever-expanding vocabulary to communicate. I think that is a very important development for any child. He doesn't need to cry for everything anymore! He uses a combination of gestures, words and actions to convey things. He communicates what he wants, what he wants to do, what he doesn't want to do (very often!) and also what he likes. It's interesting how he copies certain actions he has seen others do and associates them with something. So, 'dancing' is how he says he wants to watch a video (oh yeah, that's still happening!). He can swing a bat like he sees his dad or other kids. He even imitates how other kids talk or cry. I think this means that he is keen to speak and learn new things, and now he is more influenced by what he sees us and other people do.
(Toddler Tales are snippets of what I'm learning every day from my little one.)

Tenants tune in to new TV
Tenants at Dafen's Clos Llanfihangel Sheltered Scheme have been enjoying their Christmas present from the council – a brand new flat-screen TV for their communal lounge.
The TV was delivered just before the festivities, meaning that tenants were able to enjoy all the Christmas specials.
They are now planning to build film nights and sports specials in to their events programme.
Cllr Tegwen Devichand, Executive Board Member for Housing, said: "I was delighted to arrange for a television to be installed at Clos Llanfihangel. I know how much the tenants enjoy getting together, and this is another excuse to gather in the communal lounge and socialise."
Carmarthenshire County Council operates 21 Sheltered Schemes across the county.
Whilst offering older people the independence they desire, with every self-contained flat having its own front door – they also benefit from 24-hour emergency cover via Careline and secure door entry systems for extra peace of mind.
Communal facilities, such as a shared lounge, allow tenants to socialise with their neighbours if they wish.
Tenants work with their Sheltered Scheme Officer to arrange a series of events, ranging from trips to bingo to fish and chip suppers.
For further information about vacancies, call 01554 899259 or visit www.carmarthenshire.gov.uk

Well it's not hidden from anyone that how the divorced women in Pakistani society are still regarded as a major failure and epitome of bad-nami.
Divorce is from nowhere an encouraged or likeable act but when it's needed badly, it should be encouraged, liked and used without any shame and hesitation.
On the situations when divorce is needed, you can have the actual Islamic guidance instead of creating and assuming your owns.
Pakistanis have some weird and annoying habit of regarding a divorced woman as an example of failure and grief. But this is not the case very often.
How a divorced woman can be grieved when she got released from an abusive or unhappy relationship? She might be the happiest after divorce and much troubled when married.
There are certain common phrases that every divorced woman hears but actually she shouldn't.
1. "Why did you leave him?"
The divorced women always get to hear this one question. The curiosity of people and habit of interfering in others lives led them to ask every other divorced woman that, "why you even left your ex-husband?"
It's totally understandable that there is nothing wrong with this question but this query is directly related to someone's private matter and people want to know that, which itself is invading someone's privacy. Totally immoral!
2. "Guzara kerti!"
Apparently Pakistani's favourite phrase is "guzara kero/kerti!" That's why they keep it saying to all unhappy married and divorced women. They feel very proud of those women who are efficiently following this phrase and to them, who doesn't follow it, is "rebellious." A divorced woman has been told that she must had done guzara no matter what.
Marriage is not something to be followed by "guzara kero" but actually it is something to be followed by "khush raho."
3. "Were you interested in someone else?"
That's how people hit the character of divorced women by asking them, "whether they loved someone else or what?"
It's so easy to ask this one thing from any divorced woman, but how this query is similar to attacking her character is something we should understand.
4. "How you gonna live alone all your life?"
And how divorced or separated women are being horrified by this one thing that life is so tough and a long road which you can't cover alone.
Hardly these people know that living alone is much better in long road of life than suffering in the married life in such long journey.
And as they say, "death keeps no calendar," so divorced women's lives are long journeys or not, no one knows either but Allah.
5. "It's not possible for a woman to live without a man."
Then comes this prediction that a woman can't live without a man; a man is a woman's saviour and support.
But let me tell you that woman isn't any lesser and can live on her own. The same man who's woman's saviour is her abuser, the irony! No?
Being human being, whether men or women, both should depend on Allah alone and not on each other.
So, it's better to live without a saviour cum abusive man than to ask safety from him; as he himself failed to save woman from his aggressiveness. Only safety could be given to us by our Allah, what we need is to have faith and trust on Him.
6. "Even if he was abusive, you should have stayed."
And oh my! How insensitive one should be, to say this bullshit to a divorced woman, that she should have stayed with the abusive husband rather than leaving him.
The most annoying thing people say is, "talaaq le k sari duniya k jootay khanay se behter hai kay shoher kay jootay hi kha lo."
To all those uttering this stupidest thing, first of all, it's not okay to beaten up by husband, never; one shouldn't tolerate that.
Secondly, society needs to change it's attitude towards a divorced woman instead of horrifying her that how badly society will treat her after divorce.
7. "Are you going to marry again? If yes, then when?"
To a divorced woman who has got all the rights to re-marry, this question of either she's re-marrying or no, is again invading her privacy and is immoral. People should learn to mind their own business.
8. "You are not a warrior as you quit."
And how divorced woman is regarded as a total failure because of her unsuccessful marriage, is another low.
Failed marriage isn't a standard to decide whether a person is warrior or not. Actually divorced women are true warriors as they decide to take the step of separation which requires so much bravery and effort.
9. "You are such a fool as your marriage failed."
This is so funny and lame that a divorced woman is always regarded as a "fool" just because her marriage failed, no matter how much wise she appears to be in all the sectors of her life. Successful marriage is either not a certificate of "hoshiyari."
10. "You failed to handle your husband."
All the divorced women are failures in handling their husbands according to our society. Why no one ever says this to a man, that he failed to handle his wife? No, No! This never happens here.
Husband is not someone to be handled btw; he is someone to live a happy life with. You handle animals, patients, clients etc. You shouldn't be finding the tricks for handling a husband. He's not your patient or client; you need to find ways to understand him instead.
To all the separated or divorced women out there, don't care a dime about these phrases and people, who are throwing them at you. Think about yourself as it's your life, not theirs, and similarly, you have to live it, not them.

Every week, PRWeek reports on new account wins, RFIs, RFPs, and other agency-client relationships. Lately, though, agency executives are complaining more about that process. One agency MD recently told the PRWeek staff that in the past 18 months, prospective clients and their search firms expect PR agencies to "jump through more hoops," yet no feedback is offered at the conclusion. Your company is simply hired, or not, there is no explanation, he said, adding, well, "It's a 'buyers' market."
Another leader criticized the fact that sometimes the client or procurement firm only wants to see the bottom line of costs, instead of first explaining what it's looking for and taking into account what will be the most effective strategy. While another complained of "chemistry checks" between an agency and search firm and deplored, "Please put the client in the room."
Agencies often put significant effort into compiling information for an RFP, and then make a leap of faith that its ideas will be considered seriously and not end up in someone else's planner. Although it is ultimately the client's money being spent, a more two-sided process would ease the strain on both sides of the aisle, and possibly even remove "post-procurement stress syndrome" from the lexicon.
Ironically, better communication would go far to repair the relationship. Corporations should tell firms specifically why they won or lost an account. Also, being honest about the expected budget allows the agency to prepare a realistic pitch.
Corporations need PR firms, so they should want to make the relationship better. Explaining why certain information is necessary during an RFI will likely put an agency's mind at ease and start both groups off on the right foot. In many ways, agencies are not only business partners, but also customers. A better reputation should be the main goal.
