Flowering Period – Summer or Autumn
Hardiness – Fully hardy
Aconitum are alternatively known as monkshood, originating from central and western China and North America. They are renowned for their magnificent hooded blooms and can grow to a height of 90cm (36") and a spread of 40cm (16") set on tall, majestic spires. Their flowering season is from June through to September, providing you with an abundance of stunning summer colour. Aconitum look fantastic in borders within a cottage or informal garden setting. Take care when handling Aconitum as they are a highly toxic plant. Always wear protective gloves when planting or transferring. Take extra caution with open wounds and do not ingest!.
Aconitum flourish best in moist, fertile and well-drained soil of loam and clay within an acidic, alkaline or neutral PH balance. For improved health and development, plant your Aconitum with a generous layer of mulch to retain moisture levels. They are best positioned in a sheltered area of full sun where the soil has some protection from intense mid-summer heat. Alternatively, they will thrive in a position of part shade.
Aconitum may require staking if planted in an exposed site or during periods of adverse weather conditions. If grown in full sun, ensure your Aconitum is watered on a regular basis, as they do thrive best in cooler climates taking extra caution during periods of drought. Prune Aconitum in the autumn to ensure healthy regrowth for the following season.
It is possible to propagate Aconitum by division or by seed during the late autumn. Please take care whilst handling this plant and ensure you are wearing appropriate gloves.

I apologise in advance for a rather long post, but it's something that I've been thinking a lot about. Perception and reality. Our reality is our perception. And it's important to understand that others live in another reality because they have a different perception.
We've been having some issues with Joshua being teased at school. I'm reluctant to call it 'bullying' because I don't believe he's being targeted to be bullied.
Please don't get me wrong. I don't think teasing is right, and I do have zero tolerance to bulling. And as I'm sure any parent feels, I would upheave heaven and earth to make sure my child was never bullied again.
But its not that straight forward.
A child with autism, like Joshua, or any other social communication difficulty see things differently. It's not as simple as him saying "Mum, I'm being bullied by X because he did this to me" .
Often times he tells me that he's been teased, but when I ask him specific questions about who, how, where and when, he can't tell me.
He might tell me that X teased him during morning break.
But he can't always tell me what was said.
And even if he can, he can't tell me any other facts, like 'the boy who called you a Sh**, was he with someone else that he might have been talking to?' Joshua can't tell me.
There are kids at his school that play Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. These games are from 18 years, so I do not know why parents would let their children play these games as I think it's completely inappropriate for 10-11 year olds to play games meant for adults. We don't let Joshua play these games, but obviously he's curious about them since he can hear other kids talk about them. He has asked us countless questions about the games and why he can't play them when other kids his age are. We've explained that we think he's to young and its not appropriate for him, but what other parents let their children do is not our business and we have no say in what they let them do.
But because Joshua isn't allowed to play these games he feels like he's being teased when other children are talking about them.
A couple of weeks ago I walked him to school and as we got there he pointed to a boy a bit further away and told me that it was 'X' one of his "bullies".
So I said; Ok, how about you try to avoid him today?
Joshua says ok, and then I leave. But I stop not to far away and peek from behind a tree. And what do I see? Well, if it isn't Joshua, walking straight up to this boy and talks to him.
Not the boy going up to him, but Joshua going up to the boy.
I can understand it in a way. In a world where social understanding and communication is really difficult, for Joshua it might be easier to go up and talk to someone he knows might tease him, than to someone he doesn't know what the reaction is he's going to get. But I can see how he's an easy target.
If a boy persistently comes up and talks to me about a game I'm playing and I'm telling him how great it is, is that really teasing?
We've talked to the school several times about these issues.
At times, yes they have been teasing him knowing that he's not allowed to play the games, but most often he's the one who's been striking up a conversation with them, asking lots of questions because he's curious, which is fine, except for the fact that when they then talk to him about it he feel like he's being teased, even if that's not their intention.
Another problem is that Joshua has very selective hearing. At break he's mostly by himself, in his own world thinking about things. But if someone close by would mention a 'sensitive' word, like a swear word, he will immediately look up and make assumptions about what's been said. There have been incidents, told by other children, where kids have been talking near Joshua but not to him or about him, and he's picked out words and taking it as teasing. Even if it had nothing to do with him.
There are several people on the playground who will keep an eye out for Joshua, both staff and other pupils who are really good with him. And on the occasions where he has been teased, these children have told a teacher whats happened, actions have been taken and I have been told about it. But these are rare.
Not to Joshua though. To him, he's being teased daily.
Yes, I'm sure it happens when no one else is looking, but Joshua isn't completely innocent.
We've talked to him over and over about avoiding these particular children, and if they do say something that upsets him, to ignore them.
So it's very hard to simply tell children not to 'tease' him, when thats not their intention.
But it's equally as important to take Joshua seriously.
This is his reality.
His perception of events.
We have to teach him in each scenario how he could have done things differently or see things from the other children's point of view.
This is very hard to do without him feeling like we don't believe him or taking him seriously. It is also very hard to do when he can't always tell us what happened. And the reason he often times can't tell us what happened is because he only pick up snippets of events and patch it together, sometimes with a bit of imagination thrown in.
Several times he's told me how a boy who's bullied him has been sent to the head teacher and been expelled as a result of the bulling. I know for a fact that hasn't happened, it's probably what Joshua would wish happened, but it's hard to follow a straight line of events when he keeps taking detours into fantasy land.
This is tricky. Because what is reality? Reality is our own perception of what is currently happening.
It's like when a small child falls over and cries and the parent then goes "Stop crying. It's not that bad, you'll be fine" We might think that we're building their resilience (because there will be far worse things happening as we grow up than a scratch on our knee). But for that child, his/her reality is that it is hurting and wants to be taking seriously, even if we don't think it's "a big deal".
Teenage heartache is another example. As adults we might smile and say "Don't worry, the pain will go away. You will have many more heartbreaks before you meet 'the one' " Not really comforting is it?
In that moment, the pain for the teenager is excruciating and he or she need to be recognised for the reality they're in.
We need to validate their feelings.
I can not simply tell Joshua that the teasing "is not that bad" because his perception is that it is that bad.
Children with autism and social communication difficulties have problem understanding that others do not know what they know, see what they see, think what they think. So if we contradict him when he tells us something he believes to be true, in his mind we are lying. Not because he's stubborn or narrow minded, but because he can not understand that others might have another perspective.
What we have to try to do is to teach him other perspectives and build resilience. And we have to do this one situation at the time because for him it's almost impossible to transfer one scenario to another and and think 'Aha, this is similar to what happened yesterday, I wonder if I misunderstood again?"
So one day at the time we try to unravel situations and see how we can help him make sense of things. To help him understand that others have another perspective and might perceive events differently.

Have you ever Wondered if you are using the ideal ecommerce platform for sale on the internet? Can you sometimes stumble upon a new service that's more practical and cheaper than what you're using now? Starting a small business is all about keeping your costs low, and locating an ecommerce platform that will help you with that is half the battle. Unfortunately, when you run a small company site it often becomes tricky when you want to bring on a brand new ecommerce platform or perhaps just alter your site at all. Read our Ecwid review to discover more about this solution. 3 Column Product Page Ecwid
Click Here to sign up to Ecwid today!
Many options Intentionally make a closed system, which is tedious to move away from once you begin. But with a platform named Ecwid, you no longer have to be concerned about it. Actually, the entire goal of the business, which started in 2009, is to quickly and quickly create an internet store system in your present websites.
You do not have To create a completely different site. Just apply Ecwid on any stage, CMS or social networking (in five minutes) and you are all set.
This increased my Attention, because I know the struggles that come along with attempting to migrate websites, particularly in regards to ecommerce. So, I needed to gather a comprehensive review of the Ecwid system to find out whether it is worth the time.
How Many Men and Women Use Ecwid?
It's quite Impressive what Ecwid has achieved since 2009, with over 1 million merchants getting signed up. What is even more cool is that the Ecwid merchants span over 175 distinct countries, showing that this isn't just a platform for people in the united states or Europe. Even companies in developing nations have a chance to find an internet store heading, and you don't have to squander your previous site if you have one.
The usership Continues to grow, particularly considering Ecwid is now PCI DSS Level 1 certified. If you are not sure what this is, it's pretty much the gold standard for safety in the ecommerce world. You can rest easy knowing you and your customers' information is safe and protected.
Along with The total merchant count, over 20,000 active users are using the Ecwid Shopping Cart for WordPress. The difference between that 20,000 and also the 1 million is the fact you don't need a WordPress site to implement Ecwid. So, the 20,000 only refers to WordPress users using the plugin.
What is Ecwid, and how can this function?
Ecwid is a hosted Solution for building an internet store. Unlike competing products like Shopify, Bigcommerce and Volusion, which permit you to construct a fresh site with e-commerce performance, Ecwid is targeted more towards people who currently have a site and simply wish to add an online store for this.
Much like other E-commerce platforms, Ecwid lets you set up'catalogs' of products, and add photographs, pricing, weight etc. . each. You are able to specify shipping rates, accept credit card payments etc — all the key stuff that you'd expect to be able to do with an e-commerce alternative.
However it differs Apart from competing products like Shopify, Volusion, Squarespace and Bigcommerce since it is not really designed to allow you to produce a fully-featured, standalone e-commerce site; rather, it is designed to enable you add an online store to an existing online presence.
(That said, Ecwid have Recently added some new functionality, called'Starter Website', that will allow you produce a one-page standalone offering. We'll chat through this in more detail later on in the review.) 3 Column Product Page Ecwid
Click Here to sign up to Ecwid now!
The Product operates by giving you a widget which gets put on other sites — hence the title Ecwid: it is short for'E-commerce Widget'. You get a few lines of HTML code (the widget) to add into an existing site or societal media profile, and your shop is displayed wherever you have added this code.
Ecwid makes Strides in the market by catering to businesses which don't need to start a brand new site. The primary attribute is that you can choose your old website and quickly integrate the Ecwid system inside a few minutes.
You can also Mirror the machine on several different websites if you plan on selling elsewhere on the web. Manage all of these websites from 1 place rather than switching between multiple dashboards.
Another nice Feature is the syncing between multiple devices. Sell on-the-go together with your smartphone. This usually means that you can visit a tradeshow to make a few sales and all of these earnings are represented onto the backend of your site.
The system is Also made to integrate nicely with social networks, and that means that you may sell your things on Facebook if needed. One part of Ecwid we especially enjoy is the delivery aspect. With real time shipping integrations you constantly know what's going on with your requests and at which they're being sent to.
What other cool Items are comprised with Ecwid?
It runs on a super fast framework
It comes with an address book for customers and clients
The system has over 43 translations for sale round the world
You get lots of promotional tools like coupons, discounts, bulk pricing and more
Create your personalized email alerts
Utilize the automatic tax alternative (automatic tax charges at checkout, tax reporting and filing)
Point-of-sale functionality
Thank you Into Ecwid's point-of-sale (POS) functionality, you can use your Ecwid shop to market not only online but in physical places too — in shops, market stalls, in theatres and so on.
With Ecwid's POS Performance, regardless of whether a customer buys a product in store, online, in their phone or through Facebook, everything stays in sync – i.e., the merchant's catalog, inventory and customer / trade information.
There's a couple of ways that you can use this feature: the simplest is likely to use'Paypal Here.' This involves downloading the Ecwid iOS app from the Apple's App shop, connecting it to the Paypal Here service, and then taking payments utilizing a mobile card reader (pictured above).
You have two options when it comes to POS Hardware and Paypal This: you can buy a processor and swipe reader (for $24.99) or a chip and also tap reader (for $79.99). Both can be arranged straight from Ecwid.
There is a few Things worth noting the Paypal Here integration: first, it's only available to retailers in the US and UK. Secondly, it is not yet available on Android apparatus. (On their site, Ecwid state it'll be available shortly — but they have been saying that for quite some time now). 3 Column Product Page Ecwid
If you're located outside The US / UK, or need to utilize another mobile device kind, the fantastic thing is that Ecwid also functions with all the Vend, Clover, NCR Silver and Square POS systems. These all ease utilizing a larger range of hardware in a physical retail location (full-sized card readers, receipt printers, cash drawers tablet stands etc.) and are usable in more nations.
Although you can avail Of the Paypal Here POS option on all paid-for programs, you'll need to be on the most expensive'Unlimited' plan if you want to avail of a Vend, Clover, NCR Silver or Square admin.
Reactive storefronts
Ecwid Storefronts are responsive, meaning they will display correctly across devices — desktopcomputer, tablet computers and mobile. In an era where smartphone web browsing is eclipsing desktop browsing, this is vital.
Free plan
Unlike many similar Goods, Ecwid offers a totally free plan.
Granted, it is a pretty Basic plan, where features like discount vouchers and service aren't available, and it only lets you sell up to ten products in two categories — but this could really be sufficient for some customers, and using it is a fantastic way to try the system out.
However, A vital point to note about the free plan is the fact that it is not good from an search engine optimization standpoint — you have to be on a paid plan to make certain that your product pages talk to search engines correctly (more on SEO below).
Speech detection
Ecwid is ahead of the Pack because its storefronts can be automatically translated into nearly 50 different languages — clients can see your shop in their own language, without you having to worry about producing alternate versions of this. Ecwid provides this functionality by discovering visitors' language mechanically based on their browser settings / IP address.
Competing products like Shopify And Bigcommerce are nevertheless to supply this type of functionality — they force you to rely on third party apps, the production of multiple shops or Google Translate to provide different language variations of your store, which is less than perfect. Therefore a definite win for Ecwid here.
Ecwid and search engine optimization
Search engine Optimisation (SEO) in Ecwid is a pretty straightforward affair. You can edit the title of your webpage and its own meta description; the relevant fields are pre-populated for you automatically, but you can tweak them to match your SEO objectives.
So Far as I can tell However, you can't manually change the URL of a product — you need to make do with the one which Ecwid generates for you. This is not perfect because keywords in URLs are used by some search engines to categorise content through indexing.
However, The URLs which are automatically generated by Ecwid include the title you have given to your product – so if you include some keywords on your product name (not a bad idea anyway) your URL will comprise them too. This functions as something of a workaround, but I would prefer full control over URLs. 3 Column Product Page Ecwid
1 area where Ecwid does not perform quite so Well on the SEO front involves AMP — accelerated cellular pages. As its name implies, AMP pages load quicker on mobile devices. This encourages people to remain longer on your webpage, thus increasing'dwell time' –something which is considered by many search engine optimization experts consider to be rewarded with Google with preferential treatment in search results. Additionally, Google sometimes highlights AMP webpages in carousels in search results, providing AMP content an extra little boost.
Regrettably However — and unlike most rival products such as Bigcommerce or even Shopify, you can't produce AMP variations of your goods using Ecwid.
Importing and exporting data
Like many competing Products Ecwid permits you to import and export your data in CSV format.
The Export option allows you to export merchandise data, orders and clients (in CSV format) and means that if you ever feel the need to migrate your store to another e-commerce platform, then you shouldn't have some major difficulties doing so.
Utilizing Ecwid with other platforms
Ecwid and WordPress
WordPress does not Provided any e-commerce performance from this box, so anyone wishing to market on the stage will require a third-party solution like Ecwid. There's an Ecwid plugin available, so adding an Ecwid shop to your WordPress site is very simple — you can get up and running with a couple clicks.
You just sign up to get an Ecwid accounts and then install the free plugin.
Ecwid and Squarespace
Squarespace comes with Increasingly excellent e-commerce attributes, but the number of payment gateway options is very limited — you have to use Stripe or Paypal. (And with Stripe only works if you're selling products from particular countries). Another main issue with the built-in Squarespace marketing software is that they don't facilitate dropshipping, and full export of products isn't currently possible.
Integrating Ecwid with Squarespace allows you to bypass these constraints, and adding it to a Squarespace website is quite easy: it is a simple matter of including a code block to a page and pasting some HTML into it.
Ecwid and Wix
As With Squarespace, there is currently no dropshipping option for Wix users, therefore again Ecwid can provide a good workaround. A dedicated app is provided by Ecwid to allow you incorporate the product on a Wix store easily.
Programs and plugins
Ecwid provides a fairly Restricted number integrations with other apps that are well-known. Integrations do exist with services Mailchimp, Xero and Freshbooks; but to be honest the assortment of integrations may be more extensive — competing products like Shopify provide a much wider range of apps. Notable omissions from the Ecwid store include Quickbooks and Zendesk, such as (that said, a Quickbooks integration is coming shortly ).
The Picture is better when it comes to CMS plugins: these are available for WordPress, Wix and Joomla, allowing to you install Ecwid on one of these platforms quite easily. 3 Column Product Page Ecwid
Interface and ease of use
Ecwid's Interface is rather easy to use. Like many similar online shop builders, you get a vertical menu on the left that allows you to access key performance, and the area on the right is used to edit or display associated products, website content and reports.
As with any e-commerce tool, you'll need to Spend a reasonable amount of time getting your head around creating catalogues and product variations, setting up shipping rates etc…but there is nothing here that should represent too much of a learning curve.
Matters are aided by an 'onboarding checklist' that's provided to you once you log in for the very first time.
If You're stuck however, you can always get in touch with Ecwid's support staff — more on that later — or, even if you're on a'Business' or'Unlimited', you can take advantage of this included customization service (you get 2 hours and 12 hours customization period from Ecwidon these plans).
Ecwid and GDPR
I am not a Lawyer, so please note the below observations shouldn't be interpreted as legal information, but I'm going to do my very best to spell out some of the major GDPR problems facing Ecwid consumers under.
With the introduction of The EU's new GDPR laws, there are many legal measures that website owners now need to take to ensure they are adequately protecting EU clients' and visitors' privacy. There are severe financial penalties for doing this (to the point where it's usually a great idea to consult an attorney on what to do); and even when your company isn't based in the EU, then you still will need to obey the regulations where any site visits from the EU are concerned.
Based on my Understanding of the crucial GDPR rules, the principal priorities for prospective Ecwid store owners are to:
· Provide sufficient privacy and cookie notices
· Process and store information securely
· Get explicit consent from people signing up to mailing lists it is fine to send them e-newsletters
· Provide a way to opt in or revoke permission to use of non-essential biscuits onto a site (and to log that consent).
There does not Appear to be Anything that stops you fulfilling the first three requirements readily enough with Ecwid, although you will need to spend time and possibly money generating adequate notices and crafting information capture forms so they are GDPR compliant.
Where things get Complex with Ecwid is your fourth requirement — cookie consent. To ensure GDPR compliance, you need to display a cookie banner to your visitors which
· Allows them to select which cookies they would like to conduct BEFORE those biscuits are conducted (i.e., to provide'prior consent')
· Logs their approval to conduct cookies 3 Column Product Page Ecwid
· Allows them to revoke consent at a later point
So for example, if you Use a Facebook Ads cookie in conjunction with your Ecwid store, you'll be breaking up GDPR legislation unless you've got a banner in place which does all of the above.
Now, out of the box at Least there isn't a way to deal with the cookie approval issue with Ecwid. Nor is there a decent program accessible from the Ecwid app shop (the only alternative on this front I can find, the'EU cookie banner', does not seem to supply the essential performance — even though costing $1.99 per month to use).
It Seems to me that the only alternative available to Ecwid consumers would be to use a professional product like CookiePro, which will supply all the necessary functionality to generate cookie approval fully GDPR compliant. Despite being a strong product nonetheless, Cookiepro does need quite a great deal of configuration and you will want to set quite a lot of time aside to set this up.
Installation and Layout
I really like The fact which you can run a web site without paying for anything. This makes the installation process that much easier, since you simply have to punch in your email and create a password to go right to the backend interface.
The machine has Wizards for each platform you would like to place your store on. In case you've got a WordPress site, just walk through three steps to get up and running. You can even click on options like Facebook and Joomla, depending on the place you would like to market.
The backend Design is flawless, since it walks you through each site creation and integration step with a few nice text and photos. Once you obtain your store implemented on a website or social page it looks fairly slick.
The design Depends somewhat on the theme you've got on your site, however as you can see below, it shows photos well and appears clean and easy to navigate. I particularly enjoy the Shopping Bag place, which is prominent and easy to find for customers when they want to market.
Though many Sites are going to be cellular friendly, its nice understanding that Ecwid involves a native shopping application for both iOS and Android. Merchants now get a native shopping application for iOS and Android.
This means you Can mange your shop and sell on the move, while also giving your customers an opportunity to buy products from the cell interface.
The closing Design item that makes sense to mention is your language instrument. Since running an internet store generally requires one to attain out to individuals from all over the world, you are bound to stumble upon some clients who'd like to read product pages and other content in their native tongue.

John Michael Hendrich has been my friend longer than anyone ever. We first met as sophomores in high school in 1969. His Dad had been transfered to Mobile from Chicago, and he was a "newbie" in my class. It didn't take long for us to discover that we shared something in common, and that link was professional wrestling.
We took photos together during the matches in Mobile, then rushed to develop them and have them at the newspaper for the following morning's publication. We trained to wrestle together, and if you saw one of us, you saw the other. We worked together at a local ambulance service, which eventually lead to my career in the funeral business.
When we graduated high school in 1972, I went off to the Air Force, and Michael went to law school. He wrestled during his summers off, particularly in the Memphis and the Gulf Cost area. We never lost contact with each other through the years. I am his youngest son's Godfather, as he is my oldest's sons. To say we have a long history is an understatement.
Today, Michael is the assistant principal of a local high school. Boy... do I have some stories to share with the kids that he teaches. Seriously, I'm truly humbled to add my long time friend's name to my Personal Hall of Fame.

The Dawson's Creek alum is not one to pull punches. The host of E!s Busy Tonight, Busy Philipps, is taking on a lot of controversial parenting topics in her new cover interview with Parents magazine. She also revealed on Instagram Thursday that she was raped when she was 14.
Philips shared her rape story as Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified before a judiciary committee. (Ford claims Kavanaugh assaulted her).
"#TBT This is me at 14. The age I was raped. It's taken me 25 years to say those words," she shared with her followers. "I wrote about it in my book. I finally told my parents and sister about it 4 months ago. Today is the day we are silent no more. All of us. I'm scared to post this. I can't imagine what Dr. Ford is feeling right now."
Philips shares two daughters, Cricket Pearl, 5, and Birdie Leigh, 10, with husband Marc Silverstein. It hasn't always been picture-perfect, she shares.
Philips says: "I call myself the all-over-the-place, doesn't-have-a-plan mom. Is that a parenting philosophy. On a daily basis, I'm just trying to hold it together."
The 39-year-old continues: "Our family has no absolute rules about screen time or sugar or anything. Marc and I were raised that way, and we turned out fine."
"This may be controversial, but I'm just going to say it: I'm so f—ing over the culture of mommy wine and glasses that say 'Mommy juice.' You go to a preschool birthday party at 10 a.m., and it's like, 'Does anyone want a wine cooler?' Um, no, girlfriend. I want to make sure my daughter doesn't fall off this play structure. It's such a weird thing!"
The Freaks and Geeks alum continues: "If you know me at all, you know I love a good margarita. I just don't think the two things need to be tied together. I'm the best mom when I'm sober."
Philips keeps it real regarding her husband too: "He was not understanding how to be a dad and, in fact, didn't try. I was parenting by myself. When I told him I wanted to have a second child, he said, 'Fine, but it's all on you.' That was so heartbreaking."
But things have changed: "We've had a lot of serious discussions and counseling, and he's incredibly participatory now in a way I don't think he could've imagined before. We're a work in progress but trying our best, and that's the most you can do."
She is not feeling the post-preg body, and she's not going to pretend: "I'm able to intellectually appreciate the fact that my body has done a truly incredible thing, but I don't love the extra skin. People say, 'Wear it like a badge!' Um, yeah, that doesn't speak to me. I'd rather have a flat stomach."
On setting an example for her girls: "Now, I just try to make healthy, balanced choices and don't call any food 'bad.' My girls see me exercise, but they also see me eat nachos. I think both are important."

Described as "Your Life in Pictures", Dailybooth is a photo-blogging website where users can upload daily pictures of themselves with captions telling viewers about their day, mood or generally anything they can think of. It was founded in 2009 and after promotion from celebrities, such as Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher became evermore popular. As technology improves and becomes more widely available to people, Dailybooth has been receiving more and more visitors with a record of 3 million unique visitors in recent months. As the website promotes itself as a "community of self expression", it appears to be a photographic version of Facebook and other social media websites (similar to Flickr). Some use the site as an platform to tell the world what is happening in their lives, band practice, new pieces of art and fashion: "self expression". While many others manage to turn the mundane into the exotic…hmm. A picture paints a thousand words, so why do we need redundant status updates as well? Can't people be content with one place to moan, instead of finding every medium possible to tell the world a load of rubbish. Facebook is quite enough.

The Ancient Romans and Greeks established the first noted celebration of mothers with a festival for Rhea and Cybele, the mother goddesses. The earliest celebration in the Christian parts of the world is the establishment of Mothering Sunday which led people back to their primary churches on the fourth Sunday in Lent for a celebration. Over time, this tradition turned towards honoring mothers with simple gifts and in the mid-1900's became similar to the American holiday today.
The American version of Mother's Day stems from the activist, Ann Reeves Jarvis who began 'Mothers' Day Work Clubs' to help women learn the best way to take care of their children during themid-1800's. This gained such popularity that in 1868 Jarvis used the meetings to facilitate peaceful progression among civil war soldiers under the encouragement of the mothers in the communities. Eventually, the modern day Mother's Day became official after Jarvis' death in 1905 as a tribute from her daughter Anna. In less than a decade, the holiday was put on the calendar by President Woodrow Wilson and was marked as the second Sunday in May.
Today mothers everywhere are still honored for their dedication to their children, families, and communities on the second Sunday in May.
A fun fact about Mother's Day: "More phone calls are made on Mother's Day than any other day of the year causing an increase of 37% in phone traffic that day." (History.com)

Hearing loss is a common problem caused by noise, disease, aging, illness, and genetics. General signs of hearing loss occurs suddenly and develops gradually that includes asking people to repeat themselves, listening to music or television with a higher volume than required. There are two main types of hearing loss depending on where the problem lies they are conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss.
Sensorineural is caused by damage to the auditory nerve that occurs naturally with age. There are several options that help to improve a person's ability to hear and communicate which includes digital hearing aids, cochlear implants, middle ear implants, bone anchored implants, wireless devices, etc. The 35delG mutation was detected in 11/ 712 unrelated blood donors.
A hereditary origin was identified in 20.8% of cases and an infectious origin in 11.5%. Perinatal risk factors were present in 11.5%, while the aetiology was undetermined in more than half the cases. In 85.8% of the children there was no other severe impairment. Marked learning difficulties were observed: 36% of the children were two years behind their age group and 28% were more than two years behind. The age of initial care decreased over the study period but is still too advanced. Systematic neonatal screening would enable earlier care, which should limit the social and educational impact of hearing loss.

"Re-reading it for the fifth or sixth time, I'm put in mind of what Allen Tate said of E.E. Cummings; that this is a poet with vision, who in a dehumanizing world takes us back to the roots of our humanity...There's simply no other voice in contemporary poetry quite like hers. Nature literate, Buddhist-inflected, a veteran roadie who's seen some miles, this book is a treat, especially if, like her, you take delight in looking at birds and fauna: her observations train on sharp-shinned hawks, scrub jays, herons that eat gophers, flickers, song sparrows, and northern California's ubiquitous wavering eucalyptus."––Trevor Carolan
"As I consider our current moment, its global stipulations, and history's legacies, I return to [Joanne Kyger's] poems as they engage local environments next to their larger shapes and conditions. Attentive to breath and animated by perceptions, her poems turn on the signatures of voice and attend to time, place, being-ness, politics, the daily, myth, mystery, histories, and the natural world. Visually and aurally shapely, her lines mix tone and mood as they muse, inform, and record . . . Always rich and provocative, On Time includes my favorite poem title ever: 'A Great Vampire Squid Is Wrapped Around The Face Of Humanity' (referencing journalist Taibbi's observation of Goldman Sachs). Other lines may pointedly question global violence 'Can you believe the amount of global war / we are more / than halfway into?' or consider the nature of time 'But when has the present ever been singular?' Whole poems may observe and offer a synthesis of the personal and the political, the local and the at-large."––Hoa Nguyen
"What is at stake in the poems is more than the plums she's eating, or a dream in which Gary Snyder appears: it's a vigilant exploration of the nature of consciousness in which the particulars of experience––light filtering through the clouds, a neighbor's note, surfers waiting for waves––bridge the gap between inner and other worlds. Across six decades of writing, these careful attentions to consecutive moments collectively constitute a massive humanist document, of which On Time is the latest installment. Reading Kyger is not like reading about a life so much as perceiving what it's like to really live."––Dawn-Michelle Baude
Forrest Gander lists Joanne Kyger's On Time as one of his "books of 2015" for The Volta.
"Kyger's project .. is a great deal more ambitious than mere writing of a personal journal. She's creating a contemporary history, fusing private and public, personal and national in ways that add up to a formidable alternative to more traditional models of historical narration. As the poet rages about the country's political direction and environmental woes, she envelops her commentary with a peculiar mix of Zen teachings and noir-tinged humor … Kyger's aesthetics have been strongly influenced by her affiliation with poets of the Beat generation. How does the Beat tradition play out in the new century? Not through nostalgia or stylistic memorabilia, but an adherence to ethics of resistance, set in motion by Kyger and the poets whose circle she was part of. Indeed, in a poem with a mouthful of a title, 'I'm Very Busy Now So I Can't Answer All Those Questions About Beat Women Poets,' Kyger keeps up the searing legacy"––Jake Marmer
"Nearly a decade in the making, Kyger's much-anticipated new collection bursts with spontaneity, wit, and a delightful swiftness … Though there are twinges of sorrow, they always appear with an irrepressible, almost self-deprecating humor … Kyger never lacks for source material—"'Everything' is poetry, animated, kicking its heels'—and in celebrating her own 'Mega-Maturity' she states that 'understanding the grief of passing with clarity gives every moment a monumental heart.'"
"There's a deft and agile movement in these poems … Born in 1934, Kyger is 80 something now, but on the evidence of On Time she is observant, thoughtful and though provoking as ever. She throws the notion of straight laced Buddhist out the window. Serious but with a mischievous smile."––Eric Jacobs
"Her latest collection, On Time, was published in March 2015 by City Lights Books, the historic Beat-era bookstore and publishing house. Kyger reflects on San Francisco's literary culture and its influence on her work, both then and now."
"Kyger's new book, extends her fascination with Bolinas in every season and hour of the day. It explores nighttime, daytime, wintertime, summertime, sunset, sunrise, Good Friday, the Day of the Dead, May Day, summer solstice, Mondays, Sundays, past times, present times and the moment at hand. The collection offers rich pleasures: the arrangement of the words on the page; the sudden, illuminating shifts in consciousness; the intense engagement with contemporary historical events; and the sharp observations of birds, bees, wild Irises and rogue waves in her own backyard and the nearby Pacific Ocean.
The title of the second poem in the volume, 'You Go to War with the Army You Have,' leads one to expect the deadly serious, but there's humor here, as there is elsewhere. There are also jokes, word play and humorous takes on New Age culture and the counterculture Kyger helped to create as a Zen Buddhist, environmentalist and feisty critic of war, the death penalty, the artificial and the inauthentic."–Jonah Raskin
Video: Bill Berkson reading from Expect Delays (Coffee House Press) and Joanne Kyger reading from On Time (City Lights Books) for National Poetry Month at the San Francisco Public Library on April 14th, 2015
"The poems arrive presented in chronological order, forming a continuous tracking of Kyger's daily business, the regular affairs of her life transcribed into a transformational poetics. Her poems take advantage of what is commonplace, what's often seen as minor, the simpler seeming details of time's passage ... Kyger weighs the ordinary spectacle with a lighthearted gravity that's nonetheless profound. Although, as she notes, 'This sounds like a simple improvisation / but actually it's composed' ('Permission by the Horns') her work is phenomenally focused upon exactly what is at hand."–Patrick James Dunagan

Kyoto ProtocolThis is a featured issue.
Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), an international treaty on global warming. It also reaffirms sections of the UNFCCC. Countries which ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases.
In 2004, the Government of Canada ratified the treaty, although many observers claim no government plan exists to meet requirement of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 6% over 1990 levels by 2012.
Canada's PlanIn 2005, Canada released its climate change plan entitled Project Green – Moving Forward on Climate Change: A Plan for Honouring our Kyoto Commitment"
* According to Project Green, the gap between actual emissions and projected emissions will be at least 270 megatonnes (Mt) by the time of the Kyoto implementation period of 2008-2012 (if emissions continue to increase on a business-as-usual basis).
* In 1990, the base year for the Kyoto Protocol, Canada's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 596Mt.
* Canada committed at Kyoto in 1997 to reduce its total emissions to 6% below 1990 levels
* Total Canadian GHG emissions increased by 24% between 1990 and 2003.
* Canada ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2002."
[+] The Kyoto Protocol is a necessary first step against climate change.
[+] Position: The Kyoto Protocol is fundamentally flawed because it exempts developing nations, and should be scrapped.
[+] Position: The Kyoto Protocol is irrelevant, it will not prevent climate change. (Climate change is inevitable)
[+] Position: The economic cost of implimenting the Kyoto Protocol too high.
[+] Postion: The Kyoto Protocol is uncecessary global warming is a good thing.

I get great speeds on my internet but every day or two the speeds drop really bad and I have to do a reset of my modem. This has been going on for over 6 months, maybe a year. All Comcast ever does is "send a signal" but never a permanent solution. Any idea what's going on and how I could fix it?
What do the modem's signal stats look like ? Try getting them here http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1
Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.
What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?
Is this a WiFi connection ?
I contacted Comcast chat. They did "modem provisioning" and now apparently it's going to work...we'll see. Any idea why this would be happening?
The requested info ??

It is an opportunity to learn to see, with useful questions to help edit your own work while in process, and to understand how others see your work. Language is essential for having a conversation or writing about your work and in this workshop, we'll introduce the vocabulary necessary to describe what you see or want to see.
If you are anxious about sharing your work and receiving feedback, fear not! The instructor creates a supportive, constructive framework for the group conversation.
The four session format over several months, is designed to introduce ideas and give students time to put them into practice. Prints critiqued in the first or second session can be reworked for feedback in subsequent sessions.
Students will be asked to bring a few prints to the workshop – a combination of finished and unfinished work.
Limited to six participants

Foreclosure Homes for Sale
Are you on a small budget, but you want to purchase a home? If you are on a small budget, and you want to get a home, to start living as a family in an area that you love, look towards homes that have recently been foreclosed. A foreclosure is one that someone else has lost. The homeowner may not have been able to keep up on their mortgage payments, and the bank has taken over the property. Banks and financial companies don�t like to hold onto these properties for long, because of the interest, the payments and the money that is being lost over all.

GOVERNORS at one of Liverpool's most prestigious schools have voted unanimously to reject a suggestion it should become a Church of England school.
The Blue Coat School in Wavertree is determined to maintain its non-denominational status despite an approach from the Anglican diocese.
Now both the school governors and the separate Blue Coat Foundation trustees - who actually control the school building - have met to consider the approach.
The school governors, including chair Chris Hallows and headmaster Sandy Tittershill, convened last Wednesday night and voted unanimously to reject the approach from the church.
That was followed by a meeting of the Foundation trustees this Tuesday at the Church Road school.
A strong turnout among the 27 trustees again voted to oppose any move towards becoming a church school, with just one abstention.
Local magistrate Peter Healey, chair of the Blue Coat Foundation Governors, told the Daily Post: "The governors voted to pass the following resolution on Tuesday: 'We support the resolution of the school governing body on January 26 to reject the proposals from the Diocese of Liverpool Board of Education'."
The question now is whether the Anglican Diocese wants to press ahead with its claim on the Blue Coat through the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) or even through the courts.
The Daily Post exclusively revealed last month how Church officials are basing their case on the 300-year-old founding document of the Blue Coat Foundation, the charitable trust which runs the school.
Dating from 1708, it states that "religious instruction in accordance with the doctrine of the Church of England should be given in the school".
Pupils at the Blue Coat receive a broadly Christian education but it accepts pupils from across the religious spectrum.
Its current 900-strong intake includes Muslims, Jews, Hindus and Catholics.
The Church of England approach is thought to be part of an attempt by the diocese to widen its sphere of influence educationally.
Last year, it agreed deals to take over the running of Manor High School in Crosby, and Ainsdale High School, near Southport.
But the Blue Coat can see no advantage in becoming a church school and is angry at what it perceives as "opportunism" on the part of the diocese - the school has recently finished an #8m refurbishment programme.
In the words of Mr Hallows, it believes it already has "the ethos, the beliefs and the standards" of the best church schools.
The Blue Coat is consistently the top-performing Liverpool school in the state sector and among the top 100 in the UK.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Liverpool last night said the church had "no comment to make at this stage".

WGBH decided recently to take a chance that Hugo Chávez, the bombastic, controversial Venezuelan president known for his provocative statements, would incite a different kind of activity: higher digital tune-in.
Frontline's "The Hugo Chávez Show"—Ofra Bikel's edifying 90-minute documentary about the divisive leader—was presented in English and Spanish on Frontline's Website five days before its PBS premiere on Nov. 23, a date picked to coincide with regional elections in Venezuela. Taking a cue from for-profit media, executives at WGBH Boston, where Frontline is produced, gambled on offering the early look as they navigate an increasingly global new-media landscape.
The move appears to have paid off. The film got more than 500,000 streams in the five days before the broadcast. Through Dec. 10, it has been viewed 1.5 million times. WGBH estimates that the television broadcast was watched by 2.3 million people nationally throughout the week of the initial broadcast.
"The video numbers were amazing pre-broadcast," says Marrie Campbell, Frontline's editorial director. "It really does make us think."
The results have been illuminating for WGBH executives, who rightly believed the documentary would appeal to Hispanic viewers. WGBH purchased Google keyword search ads in English and Spanish that would take viewers to the documentary's page on the Frontline site. They also marketed the documentary in English on U.S. and Canadian Websites, and in Spanish on Latin American Web destinations.
"The Hugo Chávez Show" is not Frontline's most viewed film; that distinction belongs to "Bush's War," which has been viewed nearly seven million times since premiering in March 2008. But "Chávez" rounds out the top five. And the numbers in the first few days for the program have borne out WGBH's belief that digital marketing—especially for the right product—could create demand beyond the traditional borders of television or geography.
"Digital makes it all one audience in the end," Campbell adds. "We're in an ever more competitive environment. So we have to keep pushing ourselves through these kinds of strategies and learn lessons. The broadcast now is fast being fed into a much larger universe, and that's where we have to go."
More users watched the English version of the film, indicating more U.S. users than Latin American viewers. In Venezuela at least, there is a dearth of reliable broadband technology. Venezuelan television network Globovisión licensed the film from WGBH and ran it on Nov. 30, to triple their usual audience. The network is already under investigation by the Chávez government for multiple violations, including running afoul of Venezuela's punitive Law of Social Responsibility for remarks made by an opposition journalist on one of the network's talk shows.
Bikel's film looks at Chávez through his weekly television program Aló Presidente, where he speaks directly to the Venezuelan people for as long as eight hours. The show includes anything from public scoldings for misbehaving subordinates to Chávez reciting poetry and singing.
"I couldn't believe anybody talked so much," Bikel says. "Besides [Aló Presidente], many times each week he decides to make a speech. And the moment he does, everything stops, all of the telenovelas, all of the soap operas, everything. People are furious."
WGBH had originally commissioned an English version only, but asked Bikel for a Spanish-language version as she was finishing up editing.
"The Spanish version was a bit of a curve," she says. "But I'm glad I did it, because they did play it in Venezuela and I'm surprised they did because it was critical [of Chávez]."

I entered RAP, Inc. in 1970 when the program was located at 1904 T Street, N. W. I had just turned 16; had dropped out of school; and had gotten arrested for shoplifting. I was from a middle class family in Fairfax, Virginia. This was the first time I had gotten into that kind of trouble but I was a wild and crazy, spoiled little girl.
As a therapeutic community, RAP required everyone to help with the work of operating the facility. I worked in the kitchen department. Also, we did all kinds of work in the community like distributing free clothing and food to disadvantaged families. And all kinds of people came to the facility to give seminars and to encourage us in our recovery. Arena Stage came to visit and when I left RAP after two years, I went to work there.
Later I worked in the theatre in New York, traveled through Europe, finally got my GED, got married, and went to college. It took me 10 years to get my Associate's Degree. But I did it. Some fifteen years ago, I was offered a job doing halfway house work starting as an addictions counselor. I became a clinical supervisor and eventually was offered a partnership in the Martinsburg Institute.
I will never forget the experience at RAP or the concepts that I learned. Recovery is about doing the next right thing. I'm living proof that when the road gets tough we have to keep on stepping.

Running Away from Worldly Duties
Govinda: Long time since we last communicated.
I had to recently made a bold decision to leave my wife and child and fly home to be with my mother indefinitely, who is a widow, as she was alone and my wife was not supportive of me caring for her to a point where she told me to choose between me and my mother and will not let me talk to her, will not go on holidays back home, as she felt I should not see my mother at all and I should forget her.
It was a horrible situation to be in, as there would be constant loud fights between me and my wife, and my child would get impacted. For the last six months, I was on survival mode and felt like Arjuna caught between choosing my mother or my wife and child.
By God's grace, due to Vedanta and its teachings on svadharma, I made a list of actions that would bring me peace and realized that the bold decision to leave my wife and daughter and to be with my mother will bring me peace, as it was my true nature and I strongly feel that if I had succumbed under the pressure of my wife and forgotten my mother for my wife's sake, her demands and her threats, I would have committed adharma and would never have been able to forgive myself.
Now that I am with my mother, I am in a much better place mentally.
Thank you, God, Vedanta and Didi.
Sundari: I imagine leaving your wife and daughter for your mother was not an easy decision. I know that in Indian culture the mother of a man has a position of great importance. On the face of things, it is not right that your wife tried to prevent you from having contact with your mother. However, I doubt that the situation with your wife making you choose between her and your mother was one-sided. I am sure if I had to speak to her, she would have her reasons.
As we mature and find our way in the world, it is natural that we leave our parents to live our own lives. You are now a married man with a child; that comes with duties and responsibilities. You cannot just walk away, no matter how good you think you feel for doing so. Who is taking care of them? And while you may feel justified in making the decision you did, are you sure you are taking a good hard look at yourself? Like I said, it is unlikely that your wife would have such strong feelings about your mother for no reason. All marital problems are two-sided.
Nobody can tell you what is right for you, and it is not my job as a Vedanta teacher to do so. Only you will know if the decisions you made are truly dharmic, not only from your small svadharma perspective, but the perspective of universal dharma, Svadharma with a big "S" as well as visesa dharma, situational or ethical dharma.
But I can tell you this: if you try to hide behind Vedanta and its teachings to make it conform to your likes and dislikes, it will backfire on you and not work. Your life must be sublimated to the truth, not the other way around. If you are running away from your duties in this world, the karma will come back to you. If you are truly interested in moksa, there is no place to hide and no shortcuts to freedom from attachment to and dependence on objects.
~ Om shanti, Sundari

Georg Baselitz
Nothing I have to say about Georg Baselitz's sculptures will do justice to their magnificence. And from the start, it must be clear that much of their magnificence has to do with the way they are exhibited at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Each monumental sculpture is given its own space, a space it devours with the intensity of its emotion, a space into which we are invited to become embroiled in this intensity. Though it is difficult to privilege any of the sculptures above others, walking around the curvature of the museum space to be met by the Dresdener Frauen was an unforgettable experience.
Placed at the top of the steps, and further raised on their pedestals, the monumental heads and the power of these women of Dresden are overwhelming. I stood still at a distance: their faces are frightening, deformed by a chainsaw to be made unrecognizeable. Painted yellow, in contrast to the works up until this point in the exhibition which are tainted with red, their colour emboldens the women. Their oversized heads are imposing, apparently towering over us, monumental. They look down on us, not to belittle us, but to remind us of the depth of their suffering. Dresdener Frauen is one of the only series of Baselitz sculptures that makes direct reference to German history, though of course it is everywhere present in the tragedy and violence of his sculpted figures. Made in 1989, these women prompt the awareness that the bombing of Dresden is still playing on the German conscience when the Berlin wall falls forty-four years later.

Up close the womens' faces, like those of other sculptures, are lost to abstraction. The trees from which they are cut, and into which they are carved, hacked, and slashed are mutilated to make faces, torsos and body parts, that are just as violently and aggressively deformed, permanently scarred by chainsaw and chisels. And all of the aggressivity and anger makes for wounded giants that are both monumental and fragile, a contradiction that, in turn, makes them terribly moving. They are gentle giants who, although they loom over us, are perfectly at peace, and in silent acceptance of their own immobility and fragility.

The exhibition closes with three "self portraits," childlike figures, exhibited together, facing each other in a circle. What is most curious about them is the fact that Baselitz turns to the self-portrait in 2009 at age seventy-one. Most artists and writers typically begin their lifelong devotion to their art with self-portraits, and some might repeat the fascination with self throughout their lives. Not Baselitz. Even though these figures look young, innocent and childlike, they come in the latter years of his life. This is made more interesting by the fact that they are childlike: their "hats," the oversized "shoes," where some earlier figures didn't even have feet, the pink nipples and bare chests, and the awkwardness of genetalia that have been hammered on afterwards.
Unlike Michelangelo's figures of perfection, these people are not found inside the stone that incarcerates them. Baselitz's figures are chiseled and hacked out of the wood, formed if you like, by the knives that render them. There is so much tragedy here, the genitalia, the mouth, the eyes, the breasts of the torsos and heads, that is, those places on the body that give us identity are not carved out with care, they are hacked away. These are deformed bodies: the feet cut off, the breasts cut off, and red paint in their place as though the wounds are still bleeding. Even at a quick glance, Ding mit Arm, 1993, is a war-wounded soldier who has been so maimed, mutiliated, amputated and made androgynous. And though this "Ding" has no specific reference to Germany's history, I see it creating the pain evoked by the piece. The suffering of the Ding reminds me immediately of the World War I heros left to litter the streets in Otto Dix's drawings in particular.

Guide to terminology
Keynotes and Plenary sessions are events that assemble the entire conference to hear a talk or discussion, and to participate in general discussion. No competing sessions are scheduled against them.
Panels feature 3-4 research presentations, 15 to 20 minutes in length (depending on the number of presenters on the panel) sometimes followed by remarks from a respondent, followed by general discussion.
Workshops are discussion-oriented sessions that feature 5-6 speakers on an overarching topic, who make 5-10 minutes presentations, followed by a general discussion.
Caucuses are working meetings of task force members to strategize next year's activities and get more people involved in them. Caucuses are organized by collecting areas: journalism, sports, LGBT, etc.
Committees represent the standing RPTF committees responsible for specific tasks, like Metadata/digital cataloging, and Education and Outreach.
We invite all conference participants to take part in all types of sessions.
