Jainism, along with Buddhism and Charvaka, is considered part of the heterodox systems (also referred to as heresies) of Indian philosophy. Its philosophy is grounded in the doctrine of the Yajur-Veda but it was systematized by Vardhamana (also known as Mahavira) who substituted the authority of the Vedas with logic and experience and also reinterpreted most of the key ideas available in Indian philosophy at that time.
Vardhamana was born into the Kshatriyas caste (the warrior rulers caste) in northeastern India in about the 6th century BCE, a time of profound political and social change. Tradition says Vardhamana was born as a prince, the second son of the king, and lived a life of luxury and wealth but from an early age he was interested in spiritual matters and soon became dissatisfied with the life that surrounded him: increasing inequalities, warfare and social conflict. Around the age of 30, when his parents died, he gave up his kingdom and royal privileges and for the next 12 years he wandered around as an ascetic, someone who denies him or herself physical pleasures in a quest for spiritual progress mainly through fasting and meditation. At the age of 42, Vardhamana gained full enlightenment and became a Jaina, "conqueror", and he was known as Mahavira, a title meaning "the great hero", and became the leader of Jainism.
According to Jain tradition, Vardhamana was the 24th and the last Tirthankara, "ford-finder". Jains see the world as a river of suffering and misery and ford-finders find a way to cross it: they do not build the bridge, they simply get across it and the rest have to follow the path. The word Jain means "a follower of the Jainas". During the rest of his life, Vardhamana taught others about what he had learned. He accepted the doctrine of samsara (reincarnation), but with a small change, which, nevertheless, made a big difference to his approach to life. It was widely accepted by Indian society that animals, humans and gods had a soul, but Vardhamana went even further, claiming that nearly everything is alive. Everything is made up of Jiva "living intelligence", trapped in matter. Living beings (almost everything, according to Vardhamana's view) were divided into different categories.
- Beings with five senses, including humans and major animals.
- Beings with four senses, they cannot hear (wasps, flies, butterflies)
- Beings with three senses, they can neither hear nor see (ants, moths, fleas)
- Beings with two senses, they can only taste and touch (worms, leeches, shellfish)
- Beings with only one sense, they only have the sense of touch (plants, microscopic organisms, wind, fire, water)
This last category is the largest and what all these beings have in common is that they can all feel pain: their entire existence is to be able to feel pain. This view on living beings could be summarized with the words of an Indian scholar:
Thus the whole world is alive. In every stone on the highway a soul is locked, so tightly enchained by matter that it cannot escape the careless foot that kicks it or cry out in pain, but capable of suffering nevertheless. When a match is struck a fire being, with a soul which may one day be reborn in a human body, is born, only to die a few moments afterwards. In every drop of rain, in every breath of wind, in every lump of clay, is a living soul.
(Pruthi, p.50)
An ancient Jain document invites us to imagine the infinite number of times that we were hunted as deer, gutted as fish, beaten again and again when we were iron and chopped into pieces when we were trees. Jainism believes in an infinite number of eternal souls, caught in this eternal cycle of agony and misery. There was a way out of this cycle according to Vardhamana, and this was explained through his vision of karma (cosmic justice) and moksha (liberation). Karma was almost a material quality: cruel actions and thoughts attracted heavy karma, while kind acts made the soul lighter, so it could move up the ladder of existence. By not causing suffering, one's soul could eventually be free from samsara. It is interesting to note that Vardhamana came from the warrior caste, where there was always the element of military and political conquest. Instead, Vardhamana proposes spiritual conquest through arduous discipline and commitment.
Jainism attempts to be rational and consistent: the metaphysics leads to the ethics. In other words, if it is believed that the whole world is alive and nearly everything is capable of feeling pain, then the Jain way of living makes sense. Vardhamana would allow mosquitoes to feed on his blood and while other ascetics would carry sticks with them to scare off the dogs, Vardhamana would allow the dogs to bite him. This principle of extreme non-violence is known in Jainism as Ahimsa "non-violence", a key term in this tradition. Vardhamana takes this principle so far that in time he decides to wear no clothes since during its manufacturing process a number of beings had to suffer. Large, bad karma comes when large animals are eaten, small karma comes when small animals are eaten and no karma comes when nothing at all is eaten. At the age of 72, consistent with his ideas, Vardhamana took the Ahimsa doctrine to the extreme, finally starved himself to death and achieved nirvana (liberation).
Jainism has a set of five vows: nonviolence, truth-speaking, non-stealing, no sexual immorality and non-attachment to worldly things. Self-denial, self-mortification and austerity are the ways by which the karma of all past actions is exhausted and one can get into nirvana after death. This is explained in a Jain text:
As a large pond , when its influx of water has been blocked, dries up gradually through consumption of water and evaporation, so the karmic matter of a monk, which has been acquired through millions of births, is annihilated by austerity—provided there is no further influx.
(Campbell, p.234)
Jainism may be considered extreme, but this extremism is directed to one's self and not to others. We sometimes come across traditions where devotion is shown by killing other people or persecuting them in the name of god. The devotion in Jainism is directed only to one's self.
In the Jain tradition there is a philosophical critique on ordinary epistemology. There are a number of Jain philosophers that have done a lot of analysis concerning this issue and they developed the idea of "many sidedness", which acknowledges that the world is complex, and there are multiple viewpoints possible, each of them partially valid, within a particular context. Truths are relative to a certain standpoint. All judgments are tentative. Reality cannot be comprehended from a single perspective. Human understanding is merely probable and partial, and all predictions are relative because reality is multiple. Nothing is true in the strict sense of the word, except from one point of view. Vardhamana is credited with a famous story that illustrates this idea: Six blind men laid hands on different parts of an elephant; he who held the ear thought that the elephant was a great winnowing fan; he who held the leg said the animal was a big, round pillar and so on.
According to Jainism, there are no gods. It is not necessary to assume a Creator or First Cause - for then who created the creator or what caused the first cause? This view states that it is more logical to believe the universe has always existed, and that it has undergone an infinite number of changes. These changes are driven not by the influence of a deity but rather by nature itself. As a result of a sky empty of gods, Jainism did not have any type of creation stories.
There are essentially two paths in Jainism in order to achieve nirvana. The ordinary path, which seeks to reduce as much as possible the bad karma by living a good life and move up gradually. There is also the extraordinary path (the one a monk or a nun would take), which seeks to end the samsara in this life by taking the Ahimsa principle and the Jain vows to the extreme: no family, celibacy, no attachment to a place, they beg for food, they usually wear no clothes, they suffer insults without response and they may choose to starve to death. Because Vardhamana did not believe in the concept of Brahman (World Soul or Infinite Being) the Jain interpretation of the state of nirvana (liberation) is different from the traditional view in the orthodox Indian traditions. In Jainism, nirvana is a state in which the soul, released from samsara, has four attributes: infinite knowledge, infinite perception, infinite energy and infinite bliss.

10 Places You Can't Go in Hawai'i
Hawai'i is full of amazing places. Most of them you're free to visit, but there are a few where you're just not allowed. Here's a peek into Hawai'i's coolest off-limits corners.
(page 1 of 4)
This story was originally published in the August 2010 issue of HONOLULU Magazine.
The Inner Workings of the Tetsuo Harano Tunnels
The H-3 Freeway is the kind of road that turns a normal drive into an epic experience, particularly approaching the Tetsuo Harano Tunnels cutting through the Koolau Mountains.
Not many people get to see what's behind the imposing portal buildings guarding the tunnels, but there's a lot going on. There are about 30 full-time employees stationed at the H-3 control center, half of them monitoring traffic conditions, and the other half maintaining and repairing the tunnel and freeways.
"Just like the airports have a traffic control tower, this is the brains of the freeway system. The operators here are the first to get notified by the police or the fire department in an emergency," says Tammy Mori, spokesperson for the state Department of Transportation.
The whole place is Disneyland for fans of hidden tunnels and outsize machinery, with a maintenance tunnel about three stories below the freeway, and huge, 250-horsepower fans that suck out carbon monoxide and push in fresh air. Our favorite feature: the improbable door at the top of each building that opens up into wide-open nothingness. (The doors allow access to landscaping on the outside of the buildings, but they also give a hell of a view.)
Moiliili's underground caves
People drive through Moiliili every day without realizing it, but the entire neighborhood sits over an amazing system of limestone caverns, pitch-black and in many cases filled with water.
This 1897 photo shows one of Moiliili's cavern pools.
Photo: Bishop Museum
Laura Ruby, who edited the history book Moiliili—The Life of a Community, visited the caves in 2003. "There are a few places you can stand up straight, but in most areas you're hunched over and cramped," she says. "I could see the water percolating up from the bottom of the pool, and, in a couple of places, I could see it bubbling. I also saw a catfish, about six inches long, swimming around my ankles, which suggests to me that it was blind." Other people have seen blind spiders, blind shrimp and other blind fish in the caves.
The caves are still accessible, but good luck getting anyone to tell you where the entrance is. In addition, Ruby says that the air and water quality underground can potentially be dangerous, especially since the floods of 2004. "You don't want to go in there, seriously," she warns.

The Bankers Club
The Bankers Club, on the top floor of the First Hawaiian Center, is the kind of place where everyone knows your name. That's because it's only open to Center tenants and their guests, and the name of the game is service. We spoke with someone who's been to the club several times for breakfast ("the power meal"), and he says that while the food is great, and the 30th-floor view impressive, the real attraction is the conversations that take place here.
True to its name, it's more club than restaurant, and exists to facilitate the business at hand: meetings, conversation, relationship building. There are no prices on the menu, no check at the end of the meal, and the servers are willing to accommodate just about any request.

The Belgian chemicals sector is expected to grow in 2015, helped by a weaker euro, lower oil prices and a eurozone rebound.
Market performance snapshots
- Payments take 30 days on average
- Growth expected to continue in 2015
- Weakening competitiveness due to high labour costs
In international comparison, the Belgian chemicals sector benefits from a very high degree of specialisation. It includes a wide range of segments, from basic organic and inorganic products to pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, products for agriculture, paints, glues, detergents, cosmetics, rubber and plastics processing and many other specialty products such as chemicals for the photography industry. Chemicals (including pharmaceuticals) account for about 23% of the Belgian manufacturing sector, employing about 87,000 people directly and 144,000 people indirectly. More than 75% of the production is exported, and chemicals account for more than 30% of Belgian exports.
After growing in 2013, the Belgian chemicals sector continued its good performance in 2014. According to the Belgian chemicals association Essenscia, turnover increased 2.4% year-on-year in 2014, to EUR 64.2 billion, due to an increase in volumes as well as higher sales prices. In general, the chemicals sector was able to pass on higher raw materials and energy prices to end-customers. Investments amounted to EUR 1.78 billion (30% of total industrial investments in Belgium). Persistently high investments and high research and development spending are core strengths of this industry.
Compared to other Belgian sectors, the general equity, solvency and liquidity strengths of chemicals and pharmaceuticals companies continue to remain above average. Payments in the Belgian chemicals sector take 30 days on average. The number of payment delays is low, and expected to remain so in 2015. Insolvencies are expected to decrease further in 2015, however below the 6% decline forecast for all Belgian business insolvencies, given the already low number of insolvencies in the chemicals sector. Growth is expected to continue in 2015, helped by a weaker euro, lower oil prices and a eurozone rebound.
However, despite its structural resilience, the Belgian chemicals sector also has some weaknesses: competitiveness is weakening due to the fact that labour costs are among the highest in Europe and competition from China has increased. At the same time, the high export-dependency makes the Belgian chemicals sector susceptible to international risks, such as a potential further escalation of the crisis in Ukraine and the Middle East, a hard landing in China, or a return of the eurozone crisis (e.g. either by Greece leaving the eurozone or a deflationary spiral and liquidity trap).
That said, given the currently robust performance, financial health and low insolvency rate, our underwriting stance remains relaxed for the time being. Buyers are reviewed at least once a year on the basis of new accounts or when new information is received. The latest balance sheet is always requested and we also seek to obtain interim results from more sensitive buyers.

What does this program measure?
Sulfur Dioxide is measured at 4,10,23,and 40 meters above the ground, in units of parts per trillion by volume.
How does this program work?
A Pulsed fluorescence method using a Thermo-Environmental Inc. model 43S (shown below) is used continuously at Mauna Loa Observatory.
Why is this research important?
This is part of an effort to monitor long-term of emissions from Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes. It may provide a precursor to the next Mauna Loa eruption. These measurements also detection large sulfur dioxide pollution events from Asia.
Are there any trends in the data?
No trends. Kilauea has been in continuous eruption since 1983. Mauna Loa last erupted in 1984. Since 1994; SO2 levels from Mauna Loa have been low (<500ppt, or parts per trillion).
How does this program fit into the big picture?
What is it's role in global climate change?
The SO2 data can be used to detect periods of volcanic pollution at the observatory. This can provide a non-baseline filter for other measurements.

Why Scariff is so named is something of a mystery, as it is quite some distance from the mainland in deep water. One possible solution is to interpret the name as Ir. garbh, 'rough', with a prosthetic s-, as happens with many other words, such as teach and creag. Scarriff Island is the 1274th highest place in Ireland. Scarriff Island is the most southerly summit and also the most westerly in the Dunkerron Mountains area.

Mind the Goats
25 Jul 2011
'Mind the goats' the man said cheerily. 'They're not used to people so they might go for you'. And he shoved off from the island, leaving us to our fate. And these weren't typical goats. They were the big hairy kind, the strong kind with massive curved horns. The kind of goats that when they appear out of the shrouding mist look big and scary and make you stand ever so subconsciously closer to the next person. As we ascended Scarriff I noticed that the goats initially appeared in 1's and 2's before slipping away into the cloud. Each time they reappeared there were more of them. 'They're grouping for an all out counter-assault' I whispered to my fellow walkers. 'They won't take this invasion of their territory lightly.' But the goats played a diplomatic hand. They chose to wait and ascertain our motive for being there, before deciding their own move. And they discovered our motive was benign- to simply have the unique joy of climbing to the top of Scarriff Island. We meant no harm to the goats, the bird population, the flora, or the plentiful butterflies. And so the goats left us in peace and we left them in peace, giving each other something to talk about in the days ahead.
It's not often, nay rarely, that humans land on this island. But some do, and the evidence of their passing is there to see. Scarriff has the remains of a dwelling. This family left in the 1920's under a Government relocation scheme, supposedly after a resident had to swim several miles ashore to seek help for an ill family member. Their ruined home remains, along with overgrown stone walls which are home to some of the island's many nesting birds. It was emotional to stand at their former home and imagine what life was like for the children growing up there. I could almost hear their laughter as I imagined them running up and down the steep grassy slopes above their house
There is evidence of more recent activity too – modern post and wire fencing is erected here and there, its purpose unclear. However the island was used periodically for grazing sheep so perhaps this fencing is a leftover from those times. But all of this has little impact on the 365 acre island – most of the time that you are walking you will see nothing but the high grass, heather and gorse that cover the land. The goats will appear sporadically and disappear just as quickly. And of course you will have the eternal accompanying sounds of the myriad of birdlife that choose this as their home.
Scarriff is an island almost completely encircled by cliffs and insurmountable rocks. But someone in the distant past thoughtfully carved out some tentative steps in one section of gentle sloping rock, making access a little less slippery. It was here that our boatmen dropped us with their friendly warning about the goats. Reaching the summit in the cloud, we found an unmarked grassy mound. We chose to leave it as we found it, and took nothing but precious memories.

The violent history
27 Jul 2011
Richard Mersey, in his "Hills of Cork and Kerry" refers to an event in medieval times involving John Arundel, Knight of Cornwall (not sure that title is accurate) who pillaged a convent in England, sailed to Ireland where he threw the nuns overboard to lighten the ship during a storm, and who landed on this island only to be dragged off it and to his death by a wave. There is no indication as to how accurate this version is, but it would be rather interesting to speculate if the Oratory, whose ruins we passed, would have stood gazing down on the scene. Anyway, I just had to check this one out a little more, and Wikepedia obliges with 2 different entries...
1. Sir John Arundell of Lanherne (died 1379), was an English naval commander...celebrated for his repulse of the French fleet off the coast of Cornwall in 1379... Having, according to Thomas Walsingham's story, profaned a convent at or near Southampton, and carried off many of its occupants, the fleet was pursued by a violent tempest, when the wretched nuns who had been carried off were thrown overboard to lighten the ships. The vessels were, however, wrecked on the Irish coast, according to some authorities near Scariff, but according to others at Cape Clear Island. Sir John Arundell, together with his esquires, and other men of high birth, were drowned, and twenty-five ships were lost with most of their crews.
2. He was born in Etchingham, Sussex, England to Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel and his second wife Eleanor of Lancaster (Eleanor Plantagenet).
Being in command of a naval expedition in aid to the Duke of Brittany, he defeated the French fleet off the coast of Cornwall.
Commanding a force with the purpose of bringing relief to the Duke of Brittany, Sir John was compelled to wait for stronger winds. During this wait he decided to take refuge in a nunnery, where his men "took no notice of the sanctity of the place and... violently assaulted and raped" those they found inside. Further to this Sir John "allowed his men to ransack the countryside as they liked and to impoverish the people". When the force eventually set out to sea, carrying with them goods stolen from a nearby church and under a pronouncement of excommunication from the wronged priests, the expedition was caught in a storm. Thomas Walsingham reports that during the panic of the storm, Sir John murdered those of his men who refused to make for shore for fear of being shipwrecked upon the rocks. Subsequently, after safely arriving on an island off the Irish coast, Sir John and his boat captain were swept back into the sea and drowned. He was buried in Lewes, Sussex.

First Ascent
25 Jul 2011
As we approached Scarriff Island it appeared almost ominously through the fog ahead of us. As we got closer we could see that the island was draped in cloud which looked to me almost like some land that 'time forgot'. We landed on the NE coast of Scarriff , half expecting to meet some prehistoric creatures but we only found a herd of goats (along with the resident seabirds) and followed a SW line for about 1.6km to the summit. The going was a bit harder than Puffin Island, which we had already done on the same day, mainly because the extensive cover of long grass, bracken, gorse and heather which was sodden from the fog shrouding the island. Although there were no views from the summit (because of the fog) the views from lower down gave a stunning perspective of the coastline and an appreciation of the isolation of the family who lived on the island until the early C20th. Once again thanks to Wicklore for organising the visit.

Back in 1911 Lawerence Shea and his wife Bridget would have looked out of this bedroom window at Deenish Island.
He could not read or write and spoke only Irish. Five of his seven living children recorded in the census could and spoke Irish and English.
How alien would our lifes today seem to these people
In 1901 the same Sheas were living on the mainland in the townland of Coomatloukane.
Two shepherds father and son John and Patrick Galvin shared the house on the island at that time.
One of our boatmen said that a story goes locally that one of the Galvins once swam to the mainland to get help for a family member with appendicitis.
Thatch gone now, and only one window with a frame.

Long live the Goats
31 Jul 2015
Des O'Shea operates a RIB from Wave Crest campsite, Caherdaniel ,www.ribtrips.ie and took me to Deanish first then on to Scarriff which has a natural harbour near the NE corner . Presumably the Goats are keeping the vegetation in check so easier going than Deanish. Mass is held every year in the ruined house on the island ,this year 100 attented !

Welcome to the NLDA – Nonverbal Learning Disorders Association
Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities or Disorder (NLD) refers to the condition where individuals possess high verbal ability but face problems with the Social side and always have a verbal-spatial weakness as well. This problem is far un-diagnosed one as most public schools have the reading abilities as the first indicator for performance. Also with non-verbal learning ability posing a serious threat with Social interactivity, NLD has been a highly unique challenge with parents and other adult consumers.
The typical way to find out these individuals is by an IQ test where the normal performance IQ will be slightly below their verbal IQ pertaining to the visual and spatial weakness.
First Signs of NLD at young age:
If your child starts to stay away from a group or home, gets lost easily, spills meals while eating etc. then probably these are the signs that your child might be suffering from NLD. For these children, it becomes very hard to perceive the real sense of the world from their own point of view. They often possess problems with non-verbal tasks and information like pictures, puzzles, and passage of time etc.
So it's important that the child engages in more physical problem to understand more about the real world around him.
Academic troubles:
Those students with verbal disability start to endure problems when they reach the secondary school levels as the coordination and spatial problems make their writing and learning math skills difficult. Logical ordering, as well as sequential ordering, becomes really difficult for these students.
Furthermore, as they advance into the post-secondary education phases, NLD students face greater difficulties as often the information is always presented to them in a lecture format. For them to integrate all the information that they hear and see into writing at the same time becomes extremely difficult. They face problems to distinguish helpful information from the non-helpful ones.
Emotional Social issues:
The most important area of concern for NLD students is the social side. Due to problems with learning nonverbal skills along with spatial information's, individuals with NLD face social isolation. They find it difficult to interact with adults and often misread facial expressions. These often lead to problems like Anxiety and Depression at a very early age.
They cannot make sense out of voice tone, students with NLD are found to be affected in all the areas. Parents and Teachers often try to visualize the condition of these children as laziness and poor character and thereby this condition goes undiagnosed.
It is imperative that Parents and Teachers understand this situation and take care of how to treat and improve the lives of these children from a very young age. The role of society and friends can help NLD students go a long way with improving their skills and help them involve into the social strata.
If you are such a parent who can find the above-mentioned symptom in your child and look for more help, then you have landed in the perfect place. Here you will find answers to all your questions related to NLD.

People living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis probably know the prescription: Take a dose of healthy changes and add them to your lifestyle to reduce disease flares and the risk of the other health conditions linked with psoriatic skin and joints.
However, undertaking major lifestyle changes can make for a pretty big pill to swallow all at once. Our advice? Take it one day at a time, and be proud of the effort you're putting in to be a happier, healthier you.
Here, experts break down steps for better stress management, exercise, nutrition and quitting smoking.
Stress less
For about 60 percent of people with psoriasis, stress is a major trigger for flares or worsening disease, according to a 2013 British Journal of Dermatology review. Scientists believe about the same percentage of people with psoriatic arthritis are "stress reactors." To combat stress:
Schedule time to consciously destress — every day. "Take a 10-minute break to do whatever helps you unwind," said Dr. Jana Martin, a psychologist in Rockville, Maryland. Breathing is one of the simplest, best techniques for relaxing. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Two to three cycles immediately lower heart rate and blood pressure.
Quit lying awake. At night, worry and anxiety can gather force and carry on throughout the next day, leaving you even more vulnerable to stress, said Dr. Stevan Hobfoll, professor and chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. "Try remembering a positive event — a special trip or family gathering — in specific detail. Going over and over these details means your mind can't keep running through negative patterns," he said.
Counter pessimism. Understand whether you're simply prone to pessimism or whether you are catastrophizing — the tendency to always expect an outcome that you feel will be not just negative but catastrophic. Martin suggests countering every negative thought with a positive or neutral one. "You owe it to yourself to also think of how things could go right," she said.
Consider counseling. If stress is taking over your life, Hobfoll and Martin recommend seeing a professional who can offer tools for dealing with anxiety. Therapy doesn't need to be long-term; many people get relief in eight to 20 sessions, said Hobfoll.
Get moving
Even though it doesn't come in a pill, exercise is serious medicine, said Chris Schumann, a clinical exercise physiologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
"Exercise reduces stress and depression, improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, and helps manage and reduce weight," he said.
Start modestly. If you're new to exercise, aim for 30 minutes day of moderate aerobic activity five days a week.
"Walking is very easy to incorporate," he said. "Try starting with three 10-minute sessions. When you're comfortable going for 30 minutes, gradually add extra time, intensity or both."
Protect joints. Yoga, Pilates, stationary biking and water aerobics all improve strength or cardiovascular health while sparing joints. However, joint issues don't necessarily rule out jogging if it's what you love, said Schumann. "Discomfort comes along with exercise, and it's not always bad. But if joints are sore or swollen the next day, it's a sign you need to try something gentler."
Aim for the exercise trifecta. Combine aerobics, resistance training and flexibility work for the most benefit. Once you've established your 30-minute routine, add a few days of light-to-moderate weight training (two rounds of eight to 10 machine, hand-weight, or body-weight exercises, 10 to 12 reps each). Follow with 30 minutes of yoga or another stretching program. "Aim for 150 minutes a week of exercise, which doesn't include mowing the lawn or doing housework," Schumann said, noting 250 minutes a week can result in weight loss, which can decrease inflammation and psoriatic flares.
Eat well
A nutritious diet supports the immune system and aids weight loss, said Marisa Moore, a registered dietitian in Atlanta, who adds that a healthful diet also benefits the heart and helps prevent or reduce metabolic problems such as diabetes. To begin the journey to a healthier diet:
Start with vegetables. Fill half your plate with vegetables — and eat them first, said Moore. You can also start with a salad — try spinach and dark berries for an antioxidant boost — or a broth-based vegetable soup.
Add omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, chia and flax seeds, and walnuts, reduce inflammation. Studies haven't found a clear benefit to those living with psoriasis, but there is good evidence for their use in the fight against heart disease. "Salmon and sardines are rich sources," said Moore. "Try using walnuts for crunch on salad, or stirring seeds into yogurt or oatmeal."
Grab a smart snack. Combine protein with a fiber-rich carbohydrate. "Try an apple with nut butter, cheese with a pear or hummus with whole grain crackers," she said. Plan ahead for stress-related snacking. If you crave a salty crunch, keep a stash of popcorn. If sweets relieve your stress, have small portions of dark chocolate or yogurt on hand.
Stop smoking
Cigarettes take a toll on cardiovascular health, immune function and on psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Studies show that heavier smoking over longer periods of time is linked to more severe psoriasis, and that smokers with psoriatic arthritis have poorer physical function than nonsmokers. To get on the road to a smoke-free life:
Create a quit plan. Bill Blatt, director of Tobacco Programs for the American Lung Association, said that setting a formal quit date, telling friends and family your plan, asking for their support and planning strategies to deal with your smoking triggers is the best setup for quitting successfully.
Know your smoking triggers. If stress makes you reach for a cigarette, decide in advance what you'll do when the urge hits. Try walking around the block or calling a friend for support. If socializing is your trigger, gather in venues that ban smoking. The urge to smoke generally passes in three to five minutes, said Blatt, who also suggests carrying strong mints or cinnamon toothpicks to help curb cravings.
Combine medication with group support. People who combine smoking cessation medication with interpersonal support have the highest quit rates, Blatt said. Call 1-800-LUNGUSA (800-586-4872) for free counseling from respiratory therapists and nurses, and check local ALA chapters for group sessions.
Driving discovery, creating community
For more than 50 years, we've been driving efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of those affected. But there's still plenty to do! Learn how you can help our advocacy team shape the laws and policies that affect people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis – in your state and across the country. Help us raise funds to support research by joining Team NPF, where you can walk, run, cycle, play bingo or create your own fundraising event.

Privacy Policy
Voyager Sopris Learning, Inc.
This site and related App, www.tickettoread.com (the "Site" or "Ticket to Read") provides you and your students access to Voyager Sopris' Ticket to Read. As used in this Agreement, the terms "we," "us," and "our," mean Voyager Sopris, and "you" and "your," refer to anyone that purchases, accesses or uses Ticket to Read, including, but not limited to, schools, school districts, representatives of schools or school districts, teachers, parents, legal guardians, and students. This system is an integral component of Voyager Sopris' curriculum products and provides valuable reporting, instructional recommendations, and other resources used by teachers and other instructional leaders in conjunction with Voyager Sopris' curriculum with the goal of improving student performance.
This statement describes the privacy and security practices Voyager Sopris employs for this Site. We have adopted these practices to protect you, the students, and the school district, and to enable each of us to comply with applicable legal requirements. Use of this Site requires district acceptance of the practices outlined in this statement.
Two types of personally identifiable information are used on this Site: your personal data and student data.
Your Personal Data
Collection: Voyager Sopris collects information from you as you use this Site. For example, you must enter certain personally identifiable information, including your name, e-mail address, and phone number. We use this information to verify your identity and prevent unauthorized access to your account and to contact you in connection with your use of this Site.
In addition to the information you provide, we use certain commonly used Internet technologies to collect information about users of the Site. For instance, we use "cookies" (small pieces of information that are transferred by a website and stored on your computer) to determine how users reached the Site and to track user usage patterns during visits. We use the information we collect from cookies to improve the function, content, appearance, and capability of the Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but users can turn that feature off by changing browser preferences to refuse cookies, or to prompt the user to accept each cookie. We do not store any personally identifiable information in cookies. We also collect information from the user's web browser every time a page is requested during a visit to our website. This includes user IP address, operating system, web browser software, screen resolution, and referring website. We may also track user traffic and pathways on the Site. We use this information to improve the functionality of our website. We also use aggregated information (that contains no personally identifiable information) to provide anonymous statistical information to suppliers, advertisers, affiliates, and other current and potential business partners.
Protection: Because you enter your personal data, you control its accuracy. If you discover that your personal data is inaccurate or if it changes, you may make corrections by notifying us at email@example.com or 800-547-6747. We will not share your personal data collected through this Site with third persons without your consent. However, your personal data will be available to authorized users from your school district who have permission from the school district to access it. We will not use your personal data collected through this Site for any purpose other than providing you with access to this Site and the associated services, and to notify you of, and make available to you, additional services. We will use the same security to protect your personal data that we use to protect student data collected through this Site.
Student Data
Two types of student data are collected on this Site: (1) data entered by you in the setup process, and (2) data, including voice recordings and student responses, collected from students as they use Ticket to Read (together, "Student Data"). Federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, "FERPA") requires limitations on disclosure of Educational Records (as defined in FERPA) and implementation of appropriate security measures to protect Educational Records. To help your school district comply with FERPA, Voyager Sopris has adopted certain practices, and requires that educators using this Site fulfil certain responsibilities to safeguard Student Data. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR USE OF THIS SITE DOES NOT VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAW INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FERPA. The following statement explains our practices and your responsibilities regarding the Student Data on this Site.
Student Data Security and Confidentiality Statement
Purposes of Data Entry and Collection: Student Data entered and collected on this Site should be limited to information that is relevant to the legitimate educational purpose of improving student performance. We will not ask you to enter, and you are instructed not to enter, data about students that is not relevant to this legitimate educational purpose.
Data Entered: Only a minimum amount of Student Data required for the setup of the system is requested. We require student first name, student last name, student identification number, grade level, and in some cases a date of birth. Additional data, not specific to the student, is also required to complete system setup, including the teacher first and last name, class name, and school name. Student demographic data, for the purposes of optional disaggregated reporting, is requested separately from the initial setup data and is obtained only with written permission from your district.
Data Collected: In addition to the Student Data you enter, the Site will collect Student Data as the students use the Site. This data includes scores and answers on the Ticket to Read exercises and voice recordings, but may include other data.
Use, Disclosure, and Storage: We will use the Student Data to provide the services to your school district. We will not keep the Student Data after you or the school district instruct us to delete it, unless we are required by law to keep it. You may not disclose or otherwise use the Student Data entered or collected on this Site for any unauthorized purposes.
We will only disclose Student Data to authorized employees or representatives of the school district, and will not knowingly disclose the Student Data to any third person without express written authorization with the exception of the Reader Leader Board and Clubhouse of the Day Awards as described below. When, at the request of the district, we acquire assessment or other information, including personally identifiable Student Data, from a third party source we treat that information with the same confidentiality and security safeguards as though it were provided directly by the district. Additional agreements may be required by the third party to authorize transmission of data to Voyager Sopris.
Your district may from time to time request that Voyager Sopris provide Student Data to third parties of its choosing. We will do so with written authorization, which acknowledges that Voyager Sopris is providing that data as your district's agent and that once the data is received by the third party, Voyager Sopris no longer has any control over the use or disposition of the data.
We may also use aggregated data in our research, product development, and marketing. That aggregated, non-personally identifiable data (e.g., summary or statistical data) may be shared with third parties. However, we do not use personally identifiable Student Data to market any products or services directly to students or their parents.
In the event that Voyager Sopris wishes, from time to time, to release aggregated data that identifies your school or school district by name, Voyager Sopris will enter into a separate agreement with you to authorize release and publication.
Parental and School Access and Control Over Personal Information Collected from Children: At any time, parents or schools operating as the agent of parents can request to review any Personal Information collected about a child, have such information deleted, and/or request that there be no further collection or use of a child's Personal Information. Adults with teacher access may remove children by deleting them from their class list. Adults with parent access may remove their child by requesting that the teacher, school, or school district remove the child from the class list. We take reasonable steps to confirm that anyone requesting Personal Information about a child is the child's parent or the authorized school or school district purchaser. Please keep in mind that a request to delete Personal Information about a child or a request that there be no further collection or use of a child's Personal Information may lead to the termination of an account, membership, or other Service. Upon written request by a school, we will delete any Personal Information collected from students, and we will provide written verification that the information has been destroyed as requested. Please note that we permanently delete student information 5 years after the account purchaser's account has expired or has been cancelled. This allows us to provide reporting services to districts after the active product license has ended.
If you no longer wish to have Personal Information of a child collected by a Voyager Services application installed on a mobile device, you may uninstall the application by using the standard uninstall processes available on the mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.
Reviewing Your Own Information. If the Personal Information you provided when you created an account changes, you must promptly notify us of those changes. You have the right to access, update, and correct factual inaccuracies in the Personal Information that we collect through our services, subject to certain exceptions.� If you want to access, update, or correct your Personal Information, please contact us. To help protect your privacy and the security of your Personal Information, we may request information from you to enable us to confirm your identity and right to access such information, as well as to search for and provide you with the Personal Information that we maintain.
There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the Personal Information that we hold about you.� In addition, your Personal Information may have been destroyed, erased, or made anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. In the event that we cannot provide you with access to your Personal Information, we will endeavor to inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
Reader Leader Board: The Site will feature a high score list accessible to the public. This high score list will include the first name, school name, and total tickets of the top 100 scoring students. The list may display the information of the top 100 scoring students of the day, the week, the year, or all time. The high score list may include the top 100 students of a school, a district, a state, or the United States. If you believe that applicable law requires parental consent for the disclosure of the high score list it is your responsibility to obtain such consent.
Clubhouse: The Site will feature a Clubhouse of the Day which will be randomly chosen from the higher scoring students. The award will list the student's first name, school, and total tickets. The award will be viewable by the public on the Site. If you believe applicable law requires parental consent for the disclosure of the Clubhouse of the Day it is your responsibility to obtain such consent.
Data Quality: You are responsible for keeping the Student Data that you enter accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you recognize that Student Data is inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date, you are responsible for correcting it. If you experience problems making corrections to Student Data, please notify us at email@example.com or 800-547-6747 and we will assist you with making corrections.
Security Safeguards: We are committed to protecting Student Data against unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. Protecting Student Data requires efforts from us and from you. We will implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards when collecting Student Data from you and the students and when storing that Student Data in our database and you will observe our security safeguards and exercise reasonable caution when using this Site.
Specific institutional and technological security safeguards include:
Disclosure of Information for Sale or Transfer of Ownership: If we sell our company or if any third party takes ownership or control of our company, we may transfer any information (including personally identifiable information) we collected to the third party purchaser or party taking ownership or control. All such information will remain subject to this Privacy Policy unless you and the third party agree otherwise.
Parental and School Access and Control Over Personal Information Collected from Children: As set forth above, adults who have received access to the teacher portal have access to detailed progress reports about a child's activity in the service.
At any time, parents or schools operating as the agent of parents can request to review any Personal Information collected about a child, have such information deleted, and/or request that there be no further collection or use of a child's Personal Information. Adults with teacher access may remove children by deleting them from their class list. Adults with parent access may remove their child by requesting that the teacher, school, or school district remove the child from the class list. We take reasonable steps to confirm that anyone requesting Personal Information about a child is the child's parent or the authorized school or school district purchaser. Please keep in mind that a request to delete Personal Information about a child or a request that there be no further collection or use of a child's Personal Information may lead to the termination of an account, membership, or other Service. Upon written request by a school, we will delete any Personal Information collected from students, and we will provide written verification that the information has been destroyed as requested.
If you no longer wish to have Personal Information of a child collected by a Voyager Services application installed on a mobile device, you may uninstall the application by using the standard uninstall processes available on the mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.
Third Party Providers: We may use third party service providers to provide features, functions and other aspects of the Site, and we may permit those third parties to access your information and the Student Data as necessary to perform their obligations, provided such third parties agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Flywheel360: This 3rd party is used to facilitate the formatting of progress reports which are emailed to principals, teachers and parents on a weekly basis. Student data is delivered to them through an FTP server secured with SSH (SFTP) where it is formatted into emails for delivery. For questions or concerns about Flywheel360 as a 3rd party, please use contact information in the Contact Us section of this document.

Milwaukee Mile Speedway: The Milwaukee Mile is the oldest operating motor speedway in the world, hosting at least one auto race every year since 1903 (except during U.S. involvement in World War II). It operated as a dirt track until it was paved in 1954. The speedway features a fast 1.8-mile long road course inside the oval with 10 turns and high-speed corners.
For this thrill ride, you have the choice of 3 iconic supercars:
The Ferrari 488 GTB is the completely redeveloped successor to the 458 Italia. In case you didn't think Ferrari could outdo themselves, they did it with this car! Incorporating the newest technologies from Formula 1 and the limited edition LaFerrari, the 488 is faster, sharper, and more refined than any other car in existence. Hitting 60 MPH in just 3 seconds flat and reaching top speeds of 200+ MPH, this thing will satisfy your need for speed for sure!
The Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 is the futuristic successor to the iconic Gallardo. Capable of hitting speeds of 200+ MPH and going from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.2 seconds, it truly embodies the essence of a supercar.
The Porsche 911 GT3 is the culmination of over 50 years of design innovations. Long regarded as one of the most iconic sports cars on the market, the 911 GT3 is the pinnacle of German engineering and design. Capable of hitting 60 MPH in just 3.3 seconds, this supercar packs a powerful punch but where it really shines is its handling.
Feel the rush of speed that race car drivers enjoy everyday, but be careful.... it's addictive!
