You've been residing under a stone when you yourself haven't been aware of the English idiom "A photo will probably be worth a lot of terms." This saying simply means a solitary image can have numerous meanings within the perceptions of various individuals. This can be real but in my opinion it really is as much as the musician by by by themselves portray the meaning that is true. My image had been taken on my 19 th birthday, January 12 th , 2017, following a feast in the wonderful Cheesecake Factory. We endured high and proud with eyes towards the roof associated with shopping mall. While to other people i might appear arrogant, i've unearthed that i will be guarded, a pleased individual and a strategist.
Through analyzing my picture I realized that i will be reluctant to sharing my emotions. During my picture, the truth is this confident and delighted girl that is young her mind held high. When I look deeper into this picture i recall items that day did not get as prepared. An abundance was invited by me of my buddies in the future beside me for lunch in the Cheesecake Factory. I'dn't seen anybody considering that the summer before. We thought it will be good to see every person at the same time. We invited over twenty individuals three months ahead of time. I did son't expect everybody else in the future because things happen. Exactly what we don't expect had been just for six showing while the remainder to any or all cancel the day's. I happened to be quite definitely sad and it also did not ensure it is better since the social individuals who did show kept asking where everybody was. We addressed the specific situation as I was in fact sad if I was unbothered, but. We thought so it being my birthday celebration, that everybody would care only a little more. Rather than me personally confiding in some body, We elect to cope with the situation myself. We started initially to think about items that really make me personally pleased, for instance the wonderful spaghetti I'd as well as the free cheesecake We had been granted. We decide to have time that is good later took this picture.
Yet another thing i ran across while analyzing my picture i ran across that i will be delighted individual because I have a tendency to make the most useful of each situation. I think that delight is established. To feel delighted, you really must be pleased. Everybody else discovers joy in one thing. That I was upset before the dinner, I still found happiness simply because I looked nice though I said previously. I happened to be therefore excited while shopping because of this ensemble that i possibly could keep in mind my joy for the reason that minute thereby applying it to myself into the period of my sadness.
Lastly, i ran across because I am always secretly planning situations and devising plans that I am a strategist. This photo ended up being taken once I had been off guard. My buddy asked to just just take an image of me personally. I looked up and my mind started to wander as she was taking the photo. This image is really a total outcome of the. We often get myself focus that is losing i am along with other individuals because i am busy thinking about how to proceed next. Throughout the right period of the picture I became on break from college however it ended up beingn't past an acceptable limit away. At that time, I happened to be constantly stressing as I had done the semester before if I would do as well.
Rhetorical Analysis
When anyone post photos on social media marketing, some are unacquainted with exactly exactly just how other people may perceive them. While many may genuinely believe that idea had not been put in this picture, in my opinion the photo indicates that this individual might be arrogant, confident or nonchalant.
Your ex in this photo is well dressed. She actually is using a white button-down top, a fur vest, and rearfoot shoes. Her locks normally curled and she actually is putting on a choker necklace. She appears just as if she's going to be going to a other dressing up event. She appears as though she actually is alone within the destination at evening due to the vacancy of men and women. This woman is maybe perhaps maybe not entirely alone because somebody is using an image of her and there's a individual walking out of the area she actually is at essay writier. Addititionally there is exactly exactly exactly what is apparently some other section of restaurant that can be empty of men and women.
The lady in this picture gives from the impression that this woman is confident due to her strong position. Her upper body is revealed, this woman is standing directly and her chin is slightly tilted upward which often signifies someone who is well-bred and confident. Heels and button down shirts shows sophistication because that is often the clothes selection of an operating woman that is independent. The smirk with this lady's that is young using the mixture of just exactly what she actually is using declare that she may also be arrogant. Many profile pictures on Twitter are of individuals smiling to demonstrate the side that is happy of. Perhaps, this woman is attempting to differ. As opposed to the typical selfie and near the digital digital camera laugh, she chooses to have a complete human anatomy photo. This provides from the impression that perhaps she doesn't desire a lot of concentrate on her face so she does indeedn't need certainly to show her feeling. Or, maybe this picture of her is suggesting that she may be nonchalant. It appears just as if somebody took it candid of her because she actually is perhaps perhaps not taking into consideration the digital digital camera or attention that is even paying the one who is using the photo.
We started to wander whom took the image. Could it have now been a pal? Her buddy perhaps perhaps maybe not being invited into this may show exactly exactly exactly exactly how arrogant she may have already been. Ended up being a complete complete complete stranger asked to just simply simply take this picture? This can help respond to if she could be alone and exactly what made this occasion therefore unique she felt the necessity to capture it with a photograph.
The goal of this image is always to share a brief minute in her own life that defines her Facebook buddies. The analysis of the picture is simply exactly exactly just how and the thing I think perhaps maybe maybe not what's necessarily happening. Just how do we realize whenever individuals are undoubtedly delighted in a photograph? A grin can be a source just of psychological mask.

Meditation 892
Lies to build the flock up.
by: John Tyrrell
Your thoughts on this Meditation are welcome. Please sign in to the discussion forum below, or alternatively, use the contact page to provide your comments for publication.
It was reported that a Newville, PA pastor had been exposed for claiming to have been a Navy SEAL. Jim Moats had been making the claim for about five years and had even worn a SEAL medal around town. His exposure came about as a result of being interviewed by his local newspaper about SEAL training after the SEALs took care of bin Laden. The trouble was that this brought him to the attention of genuine retired SEALs who had a little trouble with the details of his story.
Retired SEAL Don Shipley was quoted as saying:
"We deal with these guys all the time, especially the clergy. It's amazing how many of the clergy are involved in those lies to build that flock up." (emphasis added.)
This reminded me of the tale of George DuPre who claimed to have been in Special Operations during WWII. His story was that while working with the French Resistance, he had been captured by the Gestapo and tortured. His faith in God enabled him to withstand the torture. Postwar, he used his supposed WWII experience to lecture boy scout troops across Canada for years on the value of faith. He would say "You can't have guts without God."
The journalist Quentin Reynolds was so impressed by DuPre's story, he wrote a book, The Man Who Wouldn't Talk, which was published in 1953, and subsequently a condensed version appeared in Reader's Digest.
And that's when the roof fell in on Mr. DuPre. The wider readership of the Reader's Digest ensured that the story came to the attention of some of those who had actually served with him in the war. While DuPre had actually been in an intelligence unit, his service was in England and Canada only.
As for his lesson that faith enables a person to handle difficulties in life, even torture? On being exposed, DuPre suffered a nervous collapse.
These two incidents point back to what I wrote back in 2002 in Meditation 82 - Lying about "The Truth?"
They claim to be preaching The Truth. Why do so many of them need to lie to communicate their particular god's truth?
Have your say...

CAD Manager's Newsletter (#375)13 Dec, 2016 By: Robert Green
Peer-Driven CAD Management Solutions
How to succeed as the default CAD manager.
During the past few years I've noticed that there are more and more CAD managers who toil away at making things work even though they don't have a formal title or any real authority to manage the CAD office; they're what I call peer-to-peer CAD managers. As I've studied this issue, I've come to realize that many companies are moving away from rigid authority structures toward a more loosely managed, peer-driven structure. Because of this trend, I've been researching ways to manage CAD tools within these environments.
In this edition of the CAD Manager's Newsletter, I'll pass along some strategies I've helped my clients implement, in hopes that you can use them as well. Here goes.
Competency and Leadership
In the old world of corporate management, the mantra was "authority rules," and everyone understood that power structure. Under today's looser management systems, employees tend to respect competency instead, and gravitate toward anyone who has the know-how to get the job done. In my experience, users look up to the alpha software user as the person with the most CAD competency, but it takes more than just software knowledge to function as a CAD manager.
A traditional manager can make employees conform to his or her desires with simple authority, but in a peer-driven management structure, people must want to follow you. How do successful CAD leaders inspire this kind of loyalty from the users in the trenches? I'd like to note a few traits that demonstrate competency and leadership. If you perform in these ways on a daily basis, you'll soon become the next peer-to-peer manager in your workplace.
- Become the go-to resource. It is widely understood that the person who is the best at finding solutions to CAD problems is the person others look to for help — this is where software competency comes in. Users also need to feel comfortable asking you for help, which is why the next point is important.
- Be pleasant to work with and easy to talk to. Nobody wants to work with someone who's grouchy, difficult, or sullen, regardless of how competent they are.
- Make your case by teaching. Think of it this way — if you want people to follow your standards and best practices, they need to understand why they should do so. By teaching, I don't mean formal training sessions, but rather casual, frequent dispensing of tips and productivity-boosting advice. When users get their jobs done faster, they'll have proof of the value of standards and best practices.
- Don't gripe or complain. Even though all of us have wanted to scream about the frustrations of CAD management at some point, the best managers never let anyone hear them gripe. It is fine to calmly state why things aren't working, but do your best to stay positive and offer solutions rather than complain. Griping makes you much less pleasant to work with (see the second point above) and therefore diminishes the chance that you'll be able to teach and influence users.
- Talk to project managers. Open the lines of communication early, and keep them that way! The best way to avoid griping is to tell project managers how things could be going better. Project managers do have authority, and they can help you change things if they understand why they should listen to you. Do everything you can to make your project managers your biggest fans, and talk with them often.
It's all fairly straightforward, if you think about it: Know what you're doing and explain your actions to those around you in a pleasant way, and people will come to view you as a credible leader and teacher. Read more »

"Playing music with others or enjoying live music stimulates the cuddle hormone oxytocin."
Everybody knows what stress is, but most of us find it difficult to prevent stress or lower down our stress levels. Stress is a general activation reaction to a stimulus that could mean both a challenge (in a positive way) and in a threat (in a negative sense). Positive stress is a short term arousal which happens moments before we need to do something important for example during sports activities. Negative stress is an arousal that we often experience for a long time and find ourselves unable to control to decrease it. For example when you are feeling restless or scared. To numb down the negative stress symptoms, doctors prescribe medication like antidepressants and sedatives. A frequent use for a long period could cause an addiction to these medicines. In fact, many patients find themselves in a vicious circle: it's stressful to stop with these meds and furthermore taking these meds can cause more harm to your body and mind. Another side effect of using medications to avoid negative stress is that we are unable to tea teach ourselves how to deal with stress related symptoms. In a nutshell: we need to understand how stress works and what the difference is between positive and negative stress. Now an interesting question is how can we use music to lower down negative stress levels?
Martina de Witte is lecturer in music therapy and a PhD researcher who conducted a quantitative social research:"Effect of Music interventions on Stress Reduction in Medical and Mental Heath Care Settings". She researched the cohesion between music and stress focussing on the physiological and psychological effects. Physiological effects of stress are increased heart rate or blood pressure, psychological effects of stress are restlessness, nervousness, anxiety, subjective worry and chronic fatigue. She found that music can help to reduce stress. Music is often associated with pleasant and positive feelings. When we are in love some of us tend to listen to romantic music, because it enhances our positive emotions. And while we listen to music we increase the neurotransmitter dopamine (the hormone that boosts our happiness levels). Music also affects our brain structures that are involved in emotional processes. Playing music with others or enjoying live music stimulates the cuddle hormone oxytocin. Basically, music is a cost-effective and non-addictive way to reduce stress levels (lowering heart rate, blood pressure and the hormone cortisol).
Music intervention
Music intervention (music medicine) is a medical treatment with purposeful musical activities in which music listening, music making or singing is central. During music intervention a patient listens to pre-recorded music offered by medical or healthcare professionals. Most of the pre-recorded music is instrumental classical music without major dynamics in the composition. There is high-level evidence that music interventions can be effective for stress reduction; even one session can be effective! Music interventions are very easy, safe and inexpensive to integrate into our daily lives and in medical settings.
Prescribe yourself instrumental music
Facts about the effects of music to reduce stress levels are important to state, but it's much better to motivate yourself to reduce your daily stress levels. You can start with listening to instrumental music three times a day for twenty minutes. While waking up, during a lunch break and before you go to bed. This is merely a suggestion from my end, but try out a timetable that is convenient for you. Pre-select the music that you like to listen to during these twenty minute sessions. And while listening to this music avoid doing any stress-causing chores. Focus on your breathing, relax and listen. You can keep notes of these sessions and write down the emotions that you experience or thoughts that cross your mind. Use these 'mind notes' to analyse your own feelings and thought process, you might find the key to some unanswered questions.

Dr. Gentempo is known in the world of Chiropractic for many things, but most notably for being able to help someone define who they are ( philosophy) and then give them a formula for defining who they will become in the future.
The video above is from Dr. Gentempo's Philosophy Formula class where he discusses what is subluxation and the gap between sickness and health.
This video has been viewed thousands of times on his Youtube channel and many doctors claim that this video has elevated their practices and communication with patients.
We decided to transcribe the entire video for you below.
If you like what you hear and have never been through the Philosophy Formula, we encourage you to go to this link and sign up for his 3 free videos.
Now, on to the video:
Hello philosophy formula post graduates,very excite to have this conversation in the post graduate course we're going to be talking about the gap or general adaptive potential.
Now in some of the open office hours that we've had along the way in the core program during the first twelve weeks,we kept coming up with elements of this and there were questions surrounding it and i felt like we needed to devote an entire video speaking specifically about this because to me this is the culmination of all your chiropractic philosophy, all your chiropractic understanding, everything that you've been organizing in your mind culminates I believe to this particular model,now as I've always said,this is my philosophy and some of my premises,you may not agree with them all, that's ok, my goal here isn't to get you to agree with everything that i have to say or everything that i think or all my premises in chiropractic,my goal here is to get you to start figuring out what yours are,so if you do disagree with some of this or if you want to take it in a different direction,great I encourage it.
The goal here is to get you to start thing about these things so you can draw conclusions about them,well philosophy is like ,what the experience should be is that you have this vision of the world, in this case maybe your vision of chiropractic or health care and what starts to happen is as you create new premises or clarify things another light goes on over here and another one over here and then light start going on all over the place, and the illumination of your field of view just keeps going wider and deeper and the further you can see,the wider you can see,obviously the better off you are and as a consequence your patience are,where you have fuzziness or dark areas or blind spots that's what hurts you.
So the reason that we stay engaged in the process is to continue to illuminate and how we illuminate is through this up here,we use our minds and think about our premises and then we apply those premises to our lives ,to our context,to out actions and most importantly and then in the end we grow not only do we enrich as far as our success and outcome we also enrich relative to our spiritual side ,how we feel about life how we feel about purpose, how we feel about what we do in the world and who we're being.
So really happy to take this journey with you and to get into these videos and have these conversation on an ongoing basis and as your watching this as always this should be a regular routine for you,you should have pen and paper handy and as questions are occurring to you or comments jot them down so when we have our open office hours you can bring them to the open office hours, you can post them or come inside and hang out and ask your question personally and we can address and handle it there.
So lets kinda talk about where we are right now and how we lead up to this thing called the gap,our premises have been and we've spoken around this for some period of time the body is self healing and self regulating,the nervous system is the master system and controller of that body,if you interfere with nervous system function,you must necessarily interfere with the ability to heal and regulate. Subluxations, by their very definition interfere with nervous system function so we want to address subluxation and we want to adjust them and we want to see the body function better.
The question is why do we subluxate, how does it happen?
Why would two different people exposed to similar type stresses,have different subluxation pattern,there's all kinds of questions that come in here,also is a subluxation a big deal? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
This is something that is kind of like a pivotal head scratcher, that kind of gets people stuck as they go into this.Is a subluxation a good thing or a bad thing,well if you think it's a bad thing,why would the innate intelligence of the body make a bad thing happen?In other words what is a subluxation.is it adaptation to stress right?
Basically its an adaptive response,the body is overwhelmed by stress as a consequence it subluxates or goes into defense physiology. So a subluxation is a sign,that an individual is stressed beyond what we're gonna cal their general adaptive potential.which we're going to talk about in a minute, not to the point of death but to the point they cannot fully function.So this leads to changes in postural muscle tone ,which affects the alignment of segments which continuously adversely affect the nervous system,that sets up this negative cycle,so we understand that we subluxate because there is this adverse stress that is coming into light and the body goes into defense mode of it goes into defense physiology, mid-brain function, increased cortisol levels, increased adrenaline levels, blood out of the gut and into the trunk muscles,pupils dilated your on this heightened fight flight sympathetic state and that is not something that should not be sustained for an ongoing period of time otherwise it has deleterious effects on health, short term when its protecting your life,it;s a good thing,in the long term,when it becomes a biased to how you operate on a day to day basis,it starts to cause sickness and disease and un-health and unrest and etc and etc in your body and that;s what we're trying to alleviate.
OK so we kinda get that so subluxation is a good thing its kinda protecting the body,OK well then i guess its' a good thing,but if the subluxation is a good thing,why would you wanna correct it?If the subluxation is the body's proper response to stress,number one why wouldn't it correct it itself,number two,why would you want to correct it,if it's doing the right thing?
Oh boy, now I'm kinda confused,it's a bad thing,no it;s a good thing,well if it's a good ting then why wold i want to correct it.now you start to see how maybe we start working down alleys with our understanding and we kind of hit dead ends and say I'm kinda stuck here,so this is what I'm kinda hoping to bring together in the way of concepts right now that i believe will be helpful and instrumental for you.
So let's talk a little bit further about working some of this through,so the analogy that i give and i gave this on one or two of the open office hours along the way but I'll repeat it here is that think of your nervous system like a circuit breaker and as a matter of fact as we were setting up,for this particular shoot,we have a bunch of lights around us and so on and we put too many of them on the same circuit and then what happened? The circuit tripped, how does that work? If you think of the house having an electrical system similar to a nervous system,it's not a perfect analogy but it suffices, so it is the electrical system of the house is kind of like the nervous system of the house,it's carrying the power to all the different parts of the house that utilize and need that power to function.
Now what happens if you get a surge of stress into a circuit, a particular circuit, what happens at the breaker box? Well the circuit trips or breaker trips, now is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well there is a couple of context here, it's a bad thing, or let's start with a good thing, it's a good thing because if the circuit didn't trip,it would cause a fire in the house, meaning there would be so much stress on that circuit and the circuit couldn't shut itself down as a protective, mechanism, well then what would happen? It would catch fire and then the whole house would burn down,so instead the circuit decides to defend the house, it goes into defense mode, it's saying I will shut myself down,compromise the function of the total system,in an effort to save the system from totally failing or totally burning down,so in that case,it's a good thing,however if that circuit goes to,lets say the refrigerator ,whats gonna happen?the food in the refrigerator is going to spoil,Is that a good thing or is that a bad thing?well uh its a bad thing as far as the food in the refrigerator but it is a good thing as far as the global needs of the house.so as we access this we should be recognizing that its kind of a lesser evil going into defense protecting yourself from advert circumstances, that's kinda good but it causes some bad things to happen and they're maybe not too pleasant.
Now in the medical model what would they do, they'd say oh we've got spoiled food in the refrigerator lets open up that refrigerator, take the bad food out, we're gonna put good food in and what's going to happen? The food is going to spoil again, and then they'd say oh take that out and out in food,so you can see that that's kind of dealing with the end problem that's not really solving the cause what the chiropractor would do, is that they would go back to the circuit breaker box and they would flip the switch and the power in the refrigerator would go back on,however what happens if the power that caused the circuit to trip in the first place, if the surge of stress that caused the circuit to trip in the first place was still present,this just happened to us a little while ago,the circuit will trip again and that's when you realize that it;s overloaded ,turn the power on it goes off, turn the power on it goes off, we literally just went through this and in this environment dealing with these lights,so what do we have to do we have to decrease the stress in the circuit so that it doesn't trip,it doesn't fail,it doesn't subluxate, so we had to split up the stress and go to run some cables and go to different outlets to spread the stress out,so that it wasn't concentrated in one area,so it's a pretty good parallel,there;s one caveat though this is important so listen and pay attention, its important understanding, why this isn't a perfect analogy is that the electrical system of the house is a static mechanized system,what's really cool about the nervous system is that the nervous system learns.
Donny Epstein made that point on purpose interview a few years ago and i thought it was profound.The nervous system learns, which means as someone is getting proactively adjusted,when they're not in defense mode, the nervous system can have emerging from it and unfolding from it increased strategies for more efficiency of function and basically upgrade itself, as your going through the upgrade now you can actually improve the amount of stress or stress levels that you can manage through the day and that what all brings us back to this thing called "gap" general adaptive potential or gap for short.
So what is the gap and why is the gap important,we need to understand the nature of stress and something that we have to understand also cause some people say that the body is so great so self healing,why can;t it just heal itself from subluxation,why can't it heal itself from everything.
There is in chiropractic, traditionally if you go back to the nineteen twenty seven, Stephesons' textbook, chiropractic textbook and the thirty three principles, there is a discussion around what is referred to as the limitation of matter,why is that an important conversation,why is that an important discussion,because even though the body is self healing and self regulating,what didn't we say, we didn't say the body was perfectly self healing and perfectly self regulating, we didn't say that the body has unlimited ability to self heal and to self regulate there is a limitation to what the body can adapt to and that limitation varies from individual to individual and quite frankly it's based upon the gap the general adaptive potential,but the examples i give are this,lets look at stress and the limitations of matter,if i take a human being and put him in front of me and I take a shotgun and put it to their head and pull the trigger, if that person is theoretically unsubluxated and i still blow their head off, they're going to die, I don't care how unsubluxated you are, if you are stressed to a point where your heads blown off, you're not going to survive it. Now OK that's extreme lets say its not, you are um get your head blown off, lets say that its the middle of winter I put you up into the rocky mountains at high altitude, I strip you naked and you're out there overnight and you're supposed to survive the night exposed to those horrible elements, is that going to kill you instantly like the shotgun blast, no.
Is it going to kill you in five minutes, no probably not but over the period of the evening are you going to die at some point and the answer is yes. You're not going to be able to adapt to the exposure of those elements over a protracted period of time the stress of that will overwhelm your body, even if you were unsubluxated when you started as your body is trying to adapt to that stress, what's going to happen is that your going to start to subluxate, your going to start going into defense physiology and you're going to start little by little, shutting down the various systems of the body, trying to protect the core and at some point in time your going to likely die.
Ok so lets say that its not a shotgun blast to the head ,lets say its not being put on a mountain naked in cold weather overnight, lets say it's McDonalds three times a week and you know bad food and unhealthy relationship you're involved in. Lets say that its a job that you hate. Is that going to kill you instantly no, is that going to kill you overnight no,but over some period of time will that stress kill you the answer is yes and that is the predicament most people are in.
So lets now translate into this thing called general adaptive potential. I'll take a marker,so general adaptive potential or gap, basically lets just draw two lines here, you could see i have the two lines here and this is that range of adaptability, like in other words you know the shotgun blast to the head is way out of the gap,being able to adapt to freezing weather to twelve hours overnight you know that's beyond this gap. This lets say is the area where you can properly manage stress,it's between these two lines, this is the stress in three dimensions coming in so.
I'll draw a little bit here for you,disclaimer I'm not an artist, so you see like ok there's stress coming in and it's here and it rides up and it kinda rides down and rides up and rides down, and lets say that this is the combination of the three dimensions of stress physical,biochemical, psychological, incidentally I will contend that there is a forth dimension of stress that didn't exist, you know over a hundred years ago,and that's electromagnetic radiation, we really can't escape it on the planet, we're holing cellphones next to our head,we're sitting in front of computer monitors all day, you walk out into the street without a cellphone, you still have cell towers transmitting stuff, you're walking around your house, your hotel they have wireless internet floating around,there is electromagnetic radiation pretty much everywhere. We can kinda characterize it as a physical stress maybe, but i believe it's almost its own category, its a fourth dimension its ever-present and it's just another thing that our nervous system has to contend with and deal with in order to try to adapt to the environment and still express life and health.
So we have the stress coming up back and forth and right now you can see the amount of stress that is within the context of these light right and theoretically if this is your general adaptive potential of the nervous system and the stress that you're experiencing is within the bound of the general adaptive potential,you're body is going to process that stress and it's going to dissipate that stress and you know the body is a dissipated system right, so it's going to take that stress in and its going to dissipate that stress and it's not going to cause you theoretically to subluxate and to go into defense physiology. Then what happens,well lets say that now some stuff starts to hit the fan and you see that stress is starting to ride up here more often and you see that frequently and now its almost all the time,where you have this stress that is now beyond the general adaptive potential and now it's starting to spike up and now you may have a brief spike here and then it gets better ok and you say ok the body come back in calms state,but then when it starts being consistent the body goes into like this,you know saying I'm overwhelmed now and it goes into its defense physiology,when its in defense now,it starts to do this thing called subluxation.
So I'll try to draw a different thing for subluxation here so now what happens? Well you think the gap when your subluxated,you ability to adapt to stress,do you think that increases or decreases? Well whats going to happen is that it decreases and maybe the gap goes down to here now stress that you used to be able to mange,now that becomes toxic stress to you because your gap has decreased,as your gap decreases,it's more subluxation an when you're subluxated and in your in that state you think that you make healthy choices or less healthy choices,if you make less healthy more subluxation, right less gap and more subluxation and less healthy choices and less gap and the gap keeps going down in this downward spiral,so its continuing down,till you get to a point where you have no gap. Meaning that is the point where you can no longer adapt to the environment and that is basically the very definition of biological death,you have no capacity to adapt to the environment whatsoever,that's why we expire ,that's when we die.
Most people in your community, most people are in your office right now they're in this space somewhere, this downward spiral, so now what happens? Well they come in and they meet you and they start getting adjusted and that first adjustment, kinda opens up the gap again and then as it opens it up,maybe you're making some suggestions of healthier choices maybe they feel inspired to make some healthier choices and that opens the gap a little more and you know less subluxation and more healthy choices opens opens the gap to less subluxation to more healthy choices and opens the gap more, and what started down here now becomes an upward spiral all the way back up and the cool thing about the nervous system learning is that you're not limited saying, you know you can only get to that ceiling and you stop, you can continue to expand the gap to higher and higher levels and you can widen the gap. So hopefully you can see the model coming together now because if somebody says that to me,how can you just very briefly summarize what it is you're trying to accomplish as a chiropractor whats the single goal you have for every patient that comes into your office, my response would be to widen the gap, now I wouldn't say that's good marketing copy. I'm not saying that's a good compelling patient, you know communication.
It could be if you characterize it right but in the end to me the goal whether its through my adjustment,you know lifestyle recommendations, or anything else i do in the office, the one thing that everything points to is going to be to widen this gap. No matter what they come in with, whether they're like this, or like this, I want to make that gap wide. I wanna open up, now we're kinda showing it two dimensionaly, but this is obviously a 360 kinda thing gap affects everything,so we wanna see,you come in here we're gonna access you, you're subluxated it tells me that your gap is compromised, your ability to adapt to stress and environment is compromised

Article written by Catherine Manning
I am not a prude, but my children have a right to childhood
I am not a prude. (I know, it's a shame that women have to clarify that point before commenting on pornography, but just before you grab your keyboard to type a response, I am not opposed to adults accessing legal pornography.) What I am opposed to, is children being exposed to pornographic images in milk bars, service stations and newsagents.
We have a great local store. The vendor takes the time to serve the children of our community one by one as they choose their lollies the 'old fashioned way', and as if they're making the biggest decision they'll ever make in their lives. My kids look forward to their once a week treat, and I enjoy helping to foster what I think will one day be a positive childhood memory.
However, last week as I stood waiting for an order with my four year old son, I noticed at children's eye level two magazines with almost naked, unnaturally busty, spread legged, pubeless 'women', faces with parted glossy lips wantonly staring out as they pull down their knickers, just beside the icecream freezer right in front of us. With headlines such as 'Fit to F*#K', World's Oldest Porn Star', 'Keep on F*#king','Porn star goes down on chopper pilot's chopper', etc., there wasn't much left to the imagination. (hey, if you're freaking out reading this, imagine how I felt with my child in tow.)
Does the right to make money cancel out my children's rights?
I spoke with the storekeeper about this, and although he understood my concerns, his job was to make money. In fact, he informed me that many of his clients, the truckies passing through who park out the front of our primary school, actually think he should stock more of the 'hardcore stuff'. (gee, that's comforting I say as I push my stomach back down from the back of my throat....). Apparently, according to the storekeeper, less offensive magazines such as Ralph and FMH do come covered, but these two, which have progressively become more explicit, have escaped the same censorship. Therefore, the storekeeper (and anyone else) can have these magazines sitting anywhere in their shop and as in our case, right between the lollies and icecreams about half a metre from the floor. (Have an icecream kids, and would you like porn with that?)
Our children are victims of pornography
Our children are victims of pornography. They are being exposed to images of a sexual nature long before they can comprehend their meaning, but these images make an impression. It tells boys what to expect of girls and tells girls how they should act. We have a society full of girls and young women with eating disorders and serious body image problems, and a fast growing cosmetic surgery industry (which cashes in unashamedly on those with body image issues). We have what seems like an 'epidemic' of paedophilia, with more and more men accessing sexual images of children. The news is full of stories about footballers physically and sexually assaulting women, yet society still allows our kids to be brainwashed with pornographic images at an early age.
I'd like to know that when my kids go in to the local store for a bag of lollies or some milk, that they are safe and not exposed to things they shouldn't and wouldn't see at home. Sadly, I've come to learn it's something I shouldn't 'expect', but surely it's not too much to ask.
About the author:
This article is by Catherine Manning, President of the Southern Victorian Community Action Group Inc, and the newly formed Cardinia Township Association, and an ordinary parent/citizen concerned about the future for our children, in this case, the impacts of inappropriate exposure to pornography.

The Crooked River National Grassland covers a total area of about 173,000 acres of land that is situated in Central Oregon and more specifically in Jefferson County. The closest major city that is close to the grassland is Madras, Oregon but there are several other civic and metropolis areas in the region including Metolius, Pineville, Culver, and Warm Springs.
To access the grassland, you can use several routes including US 26, US 97, and OR 26. The grassland is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Visitors to the Crooked River National Grassland can enjoy several recreational activities including OHV riding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping, swimming, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, bird watching, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and rock hounding.
There are several amenities in the grassland to accommodate all tastes including outdoor and indoor activities. Besides these attractions and facilities, the grassland has several other attractions that it is famous for and these include the popular Henderson Flat ORV Area, the Deschutes and Crooked wild and scenic rivers, and the Rimrock Springs which is an oasis in Oregon's otherwise arid high desert climate.
Additionally, the grassland has a one-and-a-half-mile trail that loops the grassland and provides an opportunity for hikers to enjoy the picturesque and expensive views of the grassland. If you have a doggie, you are welcome to bring them into Crooked River National Grassland, but you will need to adhere to the rules created by the U.S. Forest Service to protect the habitat and wildlife in the grassland.
The regulations in the protected area are also designed to protect pet owners and their pets. Some of the basic regulations to follow include ensuring that you keep your dog on a leash at all times or keep them in a secure enclosure when they are not leashed. As a dog owner, you are also expected to maintain proper pet etiquette which includes cleaning up after your dog and disposing of the solid waste in the right way.

SeaMicro Inc. on Monday announced a low-power server that includes 256 of Intel's latest Atom N570 dual-core processors.
The SM10000-64 has 512 Atom processing cores running at 1.66GHz, which combine to deliver 850GHz of processing power, the company said. Each core is capable of running two threads simultaneously, which helps boost application performance.
Intel's low-power Atom processors are typically used in netbooks. But these chips are considered more power-efficient than traditional server chips for certain tasks such as Web transactions, which contain small amounts of data and can be quickly processed.
The server is targeted at data centers that handle a large volume of Internet transactions, such as e-mail, search and social networking, said Andrew Feldman, CEO of SeaMicro. The server is also targeted at managed hosting providers and cloud-based service providers.
Depending on the application, a collection of Atom cores could provide better performance-per-watt than Intel's Xeon and Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron server chips, which consume more power and are geared toward intense engineering, math or database applications, Feldman said.
For example, Internet search engines don't hold all data on one giant machine, Feldman said. The index data is broken up over groups of smaller servers that band together to quickly execute transactions. Servers with low-power chips use fewer resources at executing such tasks, Feldman said.
"It's moving from big hardware and software to lots of little hardware and software," Feldman said. "We're building systems that are designed to optimize compute-per-watt."
The interest in building servers with low-power chips is growing as companies look to cut energy bills. Dell offers servers with low-power x86 chips on a selective basis and Microsoft has asked Intel to develop a 16-core Atom chip for servers. AMD is evaluating its Fusion netbook chips for servers. Low-power ARM processors, usually used in smartphones and tablets, could also soon reach servers. Marvell has already announced a server chip based on the ARM architecture and Nvidia earlier this year announced Project Denver, the code name for an ARM-based CPU being designed for PCs, servers and supercomputers.
SeaMicro is one of the few companies that deals exclusively in making servers based on netbook chips. The company came out of stealth mode in June last year when it launched the SM10000 server, which included 512 Atom Z530 single-core processors. Many companies, such as cloud service providers and telecommunication companies showed an interest in the product and used it for multiple tasks, Feldman said.
The SM10000-64 server is faster and more power efficient than the company's first offering. The move to a faster dual-core N570 has reduced the number of chips in the server, which has reduced power consumption. The server consumes 15 percent to 17 percent less power. The server also supports 64-bit operating systems, and extends the addressable memory ceiling to 4GB. The older SM10000 server supported only 32-bit software and had a 2GB RAM ceiling.
SeaMicro reached out to Intel on features it sought in a low-power server chip as it looked to best its initial offering, Feldman said.
"The N570 is the highest-performance low-power processor bar none," Feldman said.
SeaMicro is also testing processors from ARM, Feldman said. ARM doesn't have a vibrant software ecosystem, which puts it at a disadvantage, as most data centers today have servers with x86 chips. But ARM is working to build the software ecosystem and SeaMicro is keeping its options open.
The SM10000-64 holds the Atom chips on miniature boards the size of credit cards and are interconnected by a fabric with a throughput of 1.28 terabits per second. The motherboard also holds an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit), which virtualizes functions such as I/O, and that reduces the need for specific networking and storage components.
The server can hold up to 1TB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 64 hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs). The server size is 10 rack units tall, or 17.5 inches.
The server's price starts at US$148,000, and it is available in the U.S. and internationally, the company said.

Aid to the Church in Need
Amid the worst violence since the Syrian conflict began more than five years ago, a local Syrian Catholic Archbishop has joined in raising attention to the situation facing Christians in the city of Aleppo.
"More than half the city's population left over the last four or five years," Jean-Clement Jeanbart, Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo, said on a recent visit to Canada, urging the West to put more effort into finding a solution to the conflict – instead of taking in refugees.
"It [Canada] has to help them stay where they are … to find peace. And to get it [the war] over with these rebels, these terrorists, and drive both sides to talk. To find a political solution," added Jeanbart, who has served in Syria's previously largest city since 1995.
Speaking of an attack on a Christian area in February, he said: "It was awful: a bomb that the rebels deliberately launched on a Christian neighbourhood … has blown everything apart, destroyed countless houses," including that of a 13-year-old boy, Fouad Banna, who died instantly.
You cannot imagine the dangers that we face every day
Fouad's mother and father were not able to attend their son's funeral, led by the Archbishop himself, as they were in intensive care.
"It's a glimpse of the hardships happening back home," said Jeanbart.
Yet the Archbishop says he believes it "hurts" more for the West to keep taking in refugees.
When asked about Canada welcoming 25,000 Syrian refugees in the past few months, he said: "We're not happy when we see the Canadian government moving refugees and facilitating their integration. It hurts us. A lot."
He'd rather Syrians, especially Christians, stay in their ancient lands.
"They [the West] pity the Syrians and the Christians. But do they really know about their problems? No, I don't think so," he said.
Last week, dozens of people were killed in a surge of violent exchanges between government forces and rebels. The UN humanitarian chief told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council that hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured in indiscriminate attacks over the past 10 days, in what he called "the carnage of Aleppo".
A Christian man in the city said 26 April was "a bloody day in Aleppo … Many shells covered one side of the city. Tens of injuries, 17 were killed. Suleymaniye was hit as well. It is a Christian area."
Casualties have risen on all sides. Neighbourhoods where Christians are known to live – almost exclusively away from the Islamist rebel-controlled areas – have been frequently targeted over the past few years.
After a lull, the situation took a more dramatic turn in the past few days.
A maternity hospital in a government-controlled area was hit by rebel fire, killing at least three people, reports said on Tuesday (3 May).
This came days after another hospital was hit in the rebel-held east of Aleppo, in a deadly government airstrike.
Describing the significance of the hospital hit on 3 May, a resident said: "It is where my daughter was born and a place where new babies come into this world and new life begins. Today it is full of death and destruction. For me and my wife, it is very symbolic." He added that the city's maternity hospital was also considered one of the best for fertility treatment in the Middle East.
"Some of the busiest streets in Suleymaniye are empty after what has happened. All the shops are closed. I heard from my friend that he saw just three or four people on a street that normally is crowded. I urged him to stay inside," said another local.
'More like Good Friday'
Jeanbart's words echo those of his counterpart from the Chaldean church in Aleppo, Bishop Antoine Audo, who reported recently that in only five years of conflict and persecution, the Christian population in Syria has been reduced by two-thirds, from 1.5 million to only 500,000 today.
Bishop Audo said that the situation in Aleppo is even worse than in the rest of Syria, with only a quarter of the Christian population remaining since the beginning of Syria's civil war in 2011.
Audo also noted that Aleppo's three cathedrals have been almost completely destroyed.
"You cannot imagine the dangers that we face every day," he said.
Elsewhere, the Islamic State has taken over large parts, leading tens of thousands of people to flee from both Syria and Iraq.
Meanwhile, the Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) quoted an Aleppo Franciscan priest as saying, "Never, since the beginning of this terrible war, were things as bad as they are now. I have no words to describe all the suffering I see on a daily basis."
Seeing bombs fall on churches, mosques, schools and hospitals, Fr. Ibrahim Alsabagh said: "So many people were killed or severely injured."
Alsabagh, who has been working in Aleppo for two years, added that Easter (celebrated by Orthodox Christians and Eastern Catholics in Syria last Sunday, 1 May) had been markedly sad.
"It was more like Good Friday than Easter Sunday," he said. "People were either burying their dead, or else they stayed at home out of fear."
Would you like to know how Mary felt when she was holding her son's dead body?
"Would you like to know how Mary felt when she was holding her son's dead body? You can ask a mother from Aleppo," said one local mother. "She has experienced the feeling of carrying her son's dead body. Would you like to know how Jesus was feeling when he was carrying his cross and awaiting the time of his death? You can ask our children. They are carrying their crosses and are awaiting their death. [But] we are refusing to see death any more in Syria – Aleppo especially – and we are declaring the resurrection of Christ on our beloved country!"
The Syrian churches have joined forces, declaring Sunday 8 May a day of prayer and fasting, and have appealed to the international Church to join them.

In this tutorial we will discuss two topics that fall under the heading of useful but not often used. The first topic discusses creating user-defined constants. The second topic discusses the need to occasionally adjusting the graph's scale.
Creating user-defined constants.
As you know the built-in constant PI( ) is used when you wish to express the value of p. Excel also allows the user to define his or her own constants. For example, you will notice that many of the physics formulas you will encounter this year make use of many constants such as g, the acceleration due to gravity. At our latitude in Clemson, SC, we experience an acceleration due to earth's gravity which is g = 9.80 m/s2.
You will find that you will use the value for g throughout the year. When using Excel, rather than typing 9.80 each time you wish to express the acceleration due to earth's gravity, you can define the constant with a descriptive name or symbol, say in this case, 'g', to equal 9.80. Then simply use your defined constant, g, in your formulas.
Let us work a non-physics example to see how to define our own constants. Again, there are several ways to define constants, but this is one method that I think will be most helpful.
Say, for example that you are the owner of a produce stand and you wish to use Excel to calculate the amount each customer owes. This amount is dependent on the cost of each produce item and also the quantity purchased. Say, you sell apples for $0.25, oranges for $0.45, and pears for $0.65. These costs change on a daily basis, so it will be helpful to be able to quickly and easily change the costs of the produce without having to change any of your total cost formulas.
Your first step is to set up a data table like the one to the right. Notice that the words "Apples", "Oranges" and "Pears" appear next to their individual purchase cost. While this is not imperative, it is helpful to organize your table this way.
Also notice the Name Box is encircled in the screen shot to the right. This indicates that cell B3 has been clicked on. You should also be aware that the formula bar indicates that the value for cell B3 is 0.25. There is nothing new here.
Now we wish to define three constants that represent the cost of each produce item. Let us define our first constant as "apple" to represent the cost of an apple. To do this, follow the steps below:
If you would like to delete a constant, the easiest way is to click Insert >> Name >> Define on the Menu Bar. Then select the appropriate constant and click the Delete button.
Adjusting the graph's scale.
Often you will plot data that is relatively constant. For instance, say you measure the velocity of an air track glider on a level track. The velocity of the glider in this situation should be constant as the data to the right shows.
However, when Excel plots the data, the scale of the velocity axis is such that the data appears to be widely varying as shown below.
To make the graph display a more obviously linear trend, we need to expand the scale of the vertical (velocity) axis. To do so, simply double-click on the vertical axis and change the scale accordingly. The final result is shown below:
Note that both graphs plot the same data! The only difference in the graphs is their scale.
Note that the axis maximum and minimum were
entered manually as indicated by the red circles in the above
screen shot.

July 2005 IEEE 802/IETF Liaison Report
Bernard Aboba
July 2005
Document reviews
- IEEE 802.11u has reviewed draft-ohba-mobopts-mpa-framework-00.txt. The review is available here:
- Dave Thaler has gotten some initial feedback from IEEE 802.1 on ND-Proxy:
draft-ietf-ipv6-ndproxy-02.txtPaul Congdon, Vice-Chair of IEEE 802.1 will request additional comments at the IEEE 802.1 meeting on Monday, July 18, 2005.
- DNA WG has gotten some feedback from IEEE 802.1 (Mick Seaman) on the link information document:
- IEEE 802.1 reviewed the Identity Selection document at the last IEEE 802 plenary. Paul Congdon indicated that they favored use of EAP-based discovery techniques for wired IEEE 802 networks, rather than duplicating this functionality in IEEE 802.1. IEEE 802.1AB cannot be used to solve the problem described in the document, since its advertisements can only be heard once authentication is complete. For more information on identity selection, see:
Liaison Requests
As mentioned in the June 2005 liaison report, IEEE 802.16 had requested IETF review of IEEE 802.16e from the EAP WG, security area (SAAG), MSEC WG, and MIB Doctors. The MIB, EAP and Security reviews have been completed. The MSEC WG review is still in progress.
IEEE 802.16 Chair Roger Marks has requested that IETF participants in the IEEE 802.16e security review attend an IEEE 802.16e meeting during the plenary to discuss the review and the proposed fixes. Yoshihiro Ohba, Bernard Aboba, and possibly some of Prof. John Mitchell's students will attend. The IEEE 802.16e security review is available here:
Pending Issues
TRILL Work Item Review
The TRILL WG charter includes IEEE 802 review within its milestones. IEEE 802.1 has been notified of this, but would like more detail on what is expected. For example, is this a request for a review by IEEE 802.1? Review by IEEE 802 as a whole? Paul Congdon, vice-chair of IEEE 802.1 has set some time aside for discussion at the IEEE 802.1 meeting on Monday, July 18. Feedback/ideas are welcome.
MIB Transition
The IETF Bridgemib WG has submitted its chartered deliverables to the IESG for approval as Proposed Standards. The documents include a new MIB module and an update to RFC 2674. The RSTP-MIB, P-BRIDGE-MIB and Q-BRIDGE-MIB modules provide objects for the management of IEEE 802.1t, 802.1u, 802.1v, and 802.1w enhancements to IEEE 802.1D-1998.
In response to AD-Evaluation comments, some changes have been requested for the clarification of some aspects of the IEEE 802.1t/u/v/w enhancements. The co-chairs of the Bridgemib WG are working with the chair and vice chair of IEEE 802.1 to address the issues so we can finalize and advance the Bridgemib documents.
These Bridgemib WG documents are expected to be the last documents produced by the IETF Bridgemib WG. Subsequent MIB module work to support IEEE 802.1 technologies will be done by the IEEE 802.1 WG.
Dave Harrington has made an initial proposal for transitioning MIB work BRIDGEMIB WG to IEEE 802.1. The next step is to get a draft document describing how the transfer will be accomplished. Time is being set aside during the IEEE 802.1 session on Monday, July 18 to discuss this.
Jumbo Frames
Bill Fenner has inquired about a potential discussion with IEEE 802 relating to Jumbo Frames. IEEE 802.3 is now considering the issue of frame size expansion, so they are probably the right group to talk to. It is possible that an informal meeting could be set up to discuss this during the July IEEE 802 plenary in San Francisco, if there is interest.
Fast BSS Transition
One of the participants in IEEE 802.11r (Dan Harkins) is working on a review of an early IEEE 802.11r draft for conformance to existing EAP and AAA documents such as RFC 3748, the EAP Keying Framework, Housley AAA Key Management criteria, etc. It is possible that this review will turn up issues similar to those encountered in IEEE 802.16e. Bernard Aboba will attend the IEEE 802.11r meeting to understand the issue.

Those outlets process a lot of transactions, and when the day arrives that all debit and credit cards come with a built-in NFC chip, we'll see those outlets quickly wave-enable their terminals. Then -- and only then -- will NFC start to become common on cellphones and smartphones.
When they do, some of us will happily link our Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone to our banking to use it as a debit card or perhaps to one of our credit cards. We won't give it another thought -- it will have no impact on anything else. We'll marvel about it for maybe a year, then take it for granted.
The real action will be who gets to profit from the processing fees. I bet it will be the same organizations that do so now. Even if you use iTunes Store or PayPal as an intermediary billing service, eventually the payment goes through a credit or debit processor, which will split the fees with Apple or eBay (or whomever). So what? We'll all care about that as much as we care about who makes the screens for our mobile devices. It's only of interest to the handful of payments processors involved.
I am certain it won't be your cellular carrier that handles the money: They're way too cautious and internally dysfunctional to do anything other than, for the most part, provide decent networks. After all, they've been wringing their hands for more than a decade about their desire to be more than "dumb pipes" that only carry calls and data, which get cheaper and thus less profitable over time. (Remember when you used to hesitate to make a long-distance call due to the cost? That's why today you now pay a flat fee for voice, often no matter what your actual usage.) But other than try to erect walled gardens, hog-tie customers with contracts, and get short-term device exclusives -- all reactive sales approaches, not innovations -- the carriers have done nothing innovative despite their angst. They're still dumb pipes, and they'll stay that way.
But that's all industry inside baseball. Who processes the payments or whether you can use a smartphone as a credit or debit card will have zero impact on application developers (other than who they sign up with), users (other than who send them the bill), or IT. If mobile payments happen, they'll be as important to mobile users, developers, and managers as credit cards are today -- something they all use but is irrelevant to their technology concerns and opportunities.

Many people feel that coleus look best before they flower. We have worked hard to choose coleus that bloom late in the season or not at all. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.
Rules of Thumb for Overwintering Plants Indoors:
1. Choose only healthy plants
2. Bring Plants indoors before frost damages foliage
3. Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors
4. Place in bright areas and add humidity using pebble trays or spray bottles
5. Be careful not to over water
6 When active growth starts in spring fertilize and prune as needed
7. Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
