If you are one of the many people who live with chronic pain, you know how draining the constant discomfort can be on your strength, energy, and well-being. I would like to introduce you to a more natural solution – yoga. Yoga can decrease pain, medication usage, and help you lead a happier and fuller life. If used properly and consistently, yoga can mean the difference between a life governed by pain and one in which pain plays only a small part in your everyday life. Let me explain why.
All the moving in yoga may seem like last thing you want to do when in pain, but a 2005 study found that "chronic pain and fear of pain can become part of a vicious cycle: Fear leads to avoiding any activity that might trigger pain, and inactivity leads to greater physical disability and pain" (Boersma & Linton 2005). Many recent scientific studies have found that a yoga practice is a relatively low-risk, high-yield way to improve one's overall health, including pain management.
Research Shows that Yoga Helps Pain
In 2008, researchers at the University of Utah did a small, but interesting study on the effects of yoga on stress and pain. It was believed that people who have a strong stress response would be more sensitive to pain. The study consisted of 12 experienced yoga practitioners (yogis), 14 participants with fibromyalgia (thought to be a stress-related disease that creates a hypersensitivity to pain), and 16 healthy individuals.
During the study the three groups of participants were subjected to various levels of painful thumbnail pressure. The results showed that the fibromyalgia participants perceived pain at lower pressure levels than any of the other subjects. Functional MRIs found that those with fibromyalgia had more activity in the areas of the brain associated with the pain response. On the other hand, the yogis had the highest tolerance to pain and the lowest pain-related brain activity during the fMRI. In other words, the study finds that yoga can improve stress regulation and ultimately reduces the pain response.
Other studies also show that regular yoga eases the effects of chronic pain. In 2015, Dr. Catherine Bushnell (scientific director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institute of Health (NIH), studied the brain anatomy of yogis. She found they have more grey matter in several brain regions. Generally, people lose grey matter as they get older, but the grey matter of yogis did not decrease as significantly with age. Pain perception was also monitored during this study, and the results once again demonstrated that those who practice yoga have an increased pain tolerance. Bushnell concluded that "yoga and other mind-body practices can help prevent or even reverse the effects of chronic pain."
Understanding Pain
Up until recently most professionals believed that pain could only be caused by damage to the physical body. However, there is indeed a second source of pain that has nothing to do with the body. Pain generally starts from a physical injury or illness, but sometimes (after the body heals), pain can continue. The pain lasts longer than natural healing should, is not in proportion with the actual cause, is accompanied by an overly sensitive nervous system, and really serves no useful purpose. But there is no specific physical injury that can account for the pain. According to psychologist Kelly McGonigal this pain, often called chronic pain, comes from "the very real biology of your thoughts, emotions, expectations, and memories."
Chronic pain is often described as total overall pain, affecting those suffering from it physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Therefore besides the physical pain, there is a decrease in healthy functions causing anxiety and depression, and difficulties in relationships with family and friends.
You must remember that chronic pain has both physical and psychological causes. This does not mean that you are "faking" it, as the perception of pain is very real and has a biological basis. This statement merely means that the source of the pain is not limited to where you feel it.
The Fundamentals of Yoga
Yoga offers numerous levels and methods to relax, energize, adapt and strengthen the body and the human psyche. Yoga classes can vary from gentle and accommodating to strenuous and challenging; the choice of style is usually based on physical ability and individual preference. Analyses of a wide range of yoga practices suggest they can reduce the influence of the stress responses and may be helpful for both anxiety and depression. As mentioned in a Harvard Health Publications article "yoga functions like other self-soothing techniques, such as meditation, relaxation, exercise, or even socializing with friends."
Yoga focuses on asanas (postures performed during practice), pranayama (breathing techniques) and dhyana (meditation). Its purpose is to balance different energy flows (chakras) within the human body. The postures ease tense muscles, tone up the internal organs, and improve the flexibility of the body's joints and ligaments. The goal of correct yoga exercise is to increase flexibility and strength, so you do not need to be flexible to do yoga; flexibility is the aim, not a prerequisite.
Each posture is performed slowly and in precise, fluid movements, while following the breath. Intense movements are avoided; as they can produce a build-up of lactic acid, which results in fatigue. Overall, the postures relieve stiffness and tension, help to bring back the inner balance of the spine, renew energy and restore health. Some postures even offer an added advantage of being weight-bearing which helps sustain bone mass, which is particularly important for women. Relaxation and breathing exercises produce stability and reduce stress and connect you to your inner strength. Besides all these amazing benefits, regular practice of hatha yoga can also promote graceful aging.
Relaxation to Heal Your Pain
The best way to correct chronic stress and pain responses is to train the body and mind in healthier responses. In other words, replace the habit. When you replace stress and pain with movement and breathing, this develops your natural coping mechanisms and creates healthy change in all aspects of your life. There are various different yoga styles to try, however these would be the styles I recommend for beginners and people suffering from chronic pain:
Hatha – Poses are straightforward, relatively easy and the pace is leisurely. This is the best style for beginners. Props like blocks and bolsters are frequently used to help you get the right alignment, which is very important in yoga to avoid injury.
Yin Yoga – This style is named for the calm half of yin-and-yang, and involves slow movement into poses (most of them seated or lying down), then staying there for up to five minutes to allow for a deeper stretch and time to just, well, be. It is not surprising that Yin yoga is particularly good at stimulating the part of your nervous system that helps you recover from pain and stress.
Iyengar – Iyengar teachers are qualified in biomechanics, so they understand which positions are most likely to cause injuries—and how to modify them by changing your form and showing you how to use props correctly to make them less intense. According to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Iyengar may even help you recover from injury and a similar style of yoga, Viniyoga, works wonders on people with chronic low back pain in just 12 short weeks.
Restorative Yoga – Restorative yoga activates the healing relaxation responses in your body by combining gentle yoga poses with conscious breathing. During this style of yoga, the body rests while the mind is engaged. The correct breathing techniques are essential while in each pose in order for one to focus the mind on healing thoughts, sensations, and emotions. There are many other options such as Ashtanga yoga, Power yoga, Bikram/Hot yoga, Vinyasa flow yoga, Kundalini yoga or even Aerial yoga. I would suggest starting with the basics and working your way up from there, to a virtually pain free existence.
How to get Started
Walking into a yoga class can be quite intimidating, especially if you are unsure of the ability of your body. I suggest that you try a small class for beginners or one-on-one private sessions if possible. At least in a beginner's class, most people will be at a similar level as you, and there will be no performance expectations. If you don't feel comfortable with a class, you could always start a home practice routine. There are tons of videos on YouTube, and even yoga websites that send daily video classes straight to your email inbox. My personal favorite is Do You Yoga, they also have free yoga challenges available that range from 3 days to 30 days.
Try a challenge, they are usually only 10 -20 minutes each (easy enough to fit into a busy lifestyle), and I can assure you by day 30 you will feel lighter, leaner, happier and relatively pain free. The sense of accomplishment will motivate you to yoga every day, long after you complete the challenge.
To get the most out of your yoga practice, be sure your environment is safe. Get yourself a slip-free mat especially for yoga and practice barefoot so your feet stick to the mat as intended. Be sure you have plenty of room to stretch and move without knocking or bumping into anything. Follow the instructions and make use of props where needed to ease into your practice. You can also use relaxation CDs, candles, or incense to enhance your feelings of relaxation and connectedness. Also, never do a pose that worsens your pain, know your limits and don't push too far. Go slowly, work at your own pace and modify any pose you need for safety and comfort.
Understandably chronic pain can be so debilitating to live with and the prescription medication used to relieve it can cause worrying side effects when used long term. Yoga for chronic pain is a way to relieve this discomfort without causing more harm to your body.
Give yoga a try. You'll be amazed at how much healthier you feel! A renowned yogi B.K.S. Iyengar once said, "Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured."

Report from Stephen Hovell, Kaitaia, North Island, New Zealand
Proud owner of "KORORIA"
28″ f/3.3 SDM#062 with Mike Lockwood optics.
I had been waiting for a long time when Kororia finally arrived in New Zealand. After paying Customs and GST I was told that they could not guarantee delivery until Monday, 27th March but Pete was arriving on Saturday 25th. So I decided to drive the 700km return journey myself and bring Kororia back on a trailer. The men loaded the huge box (2.4 x 1.2 x 1.2m and weighing around 600kg) onto the trailer then I made my way very carefully homewards. Some of our Northland roads are pretty windy and I didn't want the precious contents strewn over the road. So it was a slow trip home. I had frequent stops to left other drivers past.
Pete and his 90 year old Uncle Merv arrived on the morning of Saturday 25th. The big box was waiting on the trailer up at my observatory, Pukemaru Observatory. The observatory is 4.8m wide, 7.2m long with a slide-off roof that comes 2/3 of the way off. I also have fold-down walls on three sides. Peter designed my telescope so it could see over the walls when they were folded down. In fact I can get down to within 7° of the horizon with half of the mirror (half of 28" is 14" and that's still pretty good) although I tend not to look so low.

It's something I desperately want, but it alludes me.
Regardless, I have grand visions of a place for everything and everything in its place...but the reality of it is...in a 1945 house with 3 bedrooms, 5 kids, 2 adults, closets the size of phone booths, massive amounts of clothing and 42 million pairs of shoes...'organized' is relative.
This is my actual Living Room coat closet:
|There she is. All tucked away in the corner.
|Cue horror movie music. We're approaching the monster.
|Another beauty shot.
|See this convenient set up? Love the radiator in front of the door for maximum door opening capacity.
|Because the closet is so crammed, things spill out on the banister. Isn't that pretty for the living room? The first room everyone sees when they come in the door?
|Side Note: Isn't that wall going up the stairs just SCREAMING for a photo collage?
|*Sigh* Isn't it gorgeous?
This was a closet very much like mine until they took off the closet doors and added a built in bench, some cubbies, and a few baskets. Voila!
I know, I know...it's scary taking the DOOR off your CLOSET....but see how pretty that is? It's a mini mudroom. 'And oh how I want a mudroom.
I cry and drool as I look through Pottery Barn catalogs at all the beautiful mudroom crap they have.
Unfortunately, this house was not equipped with any kind of mudroom or foyer. You just immediately fall into the Living Room when you come through the door.
Surprise! Here's our mess!
Make yourself at home, just throw your coat over the chair and pile your shoes in the corner.
So, I have big plans to convert our closet to look like the one in the BHG pic.
Really, it will be inexpensive. The trim is already there (that's one plus for the craftsmanship in this 1945 home), I can find a cute bench second hand or on my fave Criagslist and paint it if need be. I already have baskets galore....so this SHOULD be pretty easy.
Famous last words, right?

All Worlds
The Himalayas is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of the massive mountain system which includes the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, the Toba Kakar, and a host of minor ranges extending from the Pamir Knot.
In 1939, a hidden Himalayan valley, containing an isolated civilization, was discovered by the American aviator and explorer Captain Desmo. Desmo's "lost world" had Himalayan crocodiles and Himalayan giant cannibals.[1] Desmo and his assistant, using only a machine gun and an improvised sling, wiped out the entire tribe of "Mudas" giants.[2]
New Earth
In the late 1930s, in India, at the hidden Himalayan citadel of The Seven, two disciples of that mystic cult, young Richard Occult and Zator, confronted and defeated an extremely powerful and dangerous demonic entity called Koth.[3][4]
In 1939, at the remote Himalayan monastery of the Grande Lama Jerbel, a world-takeover plot was foiled by John Zatara, his manservant Tong, and their temporary ally the Tigress.[5]
Quality Universe
In 1940, in the Himalayas, there was an uprising by Morro cannibal tribesmen, in which the village of Madeira was massacred. This uprising was quashed, almost single-handedly, by roving American newsreel photographer Flash Fulton.[6]
In 1941, deep in the hills of Tibet, at the secret citadel of the Four Lamas, another world-takeover plot was foiled, by Neon the Unknown.[7]
In 1941, in the Himalayas, the Forbidden Temple of the Man-Eating Spider was found by the British magician Merlin, who killed everyone inside, including the spider-god Agor, and stole an extremely valuable diamond, before destroying the structure by magical means.[8]
Points of Interest
All Worlds
- Shadowspire
- The secret base of operations for the Shadow Cabinet, the Shadowspire is a secluded Himalayan cave filled with extremely advanced machinery, and reachable only via teleportation.[citation needed]
- The secret temple of Ra's al Ghul's "Brotherhood of the Demon" was in the Himalayas.[9] Ra's al Ghul had several Himalayan bases, and at least one of them contained a Lazarus Pit.[10]
New Earth
- Vandal Savage had a secret Himalayan base, in Nepal.[11]
- Kobra also had at least one secret Himalayan base.[12]
- The Manhunter Cult also had at least one secret Himalayan base.[citation needed]
- Grave of the Unknown Soldier of Victory[13][14]
- Nanda Parbat
- American WWI-veteran Lee Travis, born circa 1902, spent "a few weeks" in Nanda Parbat during the 1920s. Time moves differently in Nanda Parbat, and when he returned to America it was several years later. In 1938, at the calendar age of 36 but physically much younger, Lee Travis, by then a newspaper publisher, adopted a secret vigilante identity as the Crimson Avenger.[15]
- Batman has visited Nanda Parbat, and while there he learned the meditative technique for entering the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.[16]

"Tell Me Something" Tuesday is a meme hosted by Heidi @ Rainy Day Ramblings.
This week's question is:
What do you think of the current trend in the YA genre toward emotional contemporary versus the paranormal/supernatural books that have flooded the market over the last few years?
I am a paranormal/supernatural fan all the way. I think humans and their less complicated relationships just don't hold my interest like the paranormal books. I mean it's one thing to overcome geography (living in a different area), resisting the bad boy because he is simply bad, and staying away from the new girl because she is unknown to your small town world. But when you think about paranormal couples who must overcome species differences and normally the feral instincts of the male protagonists to keep from eating or killing the object of his infatuation. I guess I am a glutton for danger and like the "you could die from this relationship" aspect.
That does not mean that emotional contemporaries are all entirely bad in my eyes. I do enjoy some HUMAN relationship literature from time to time. I am an equal opportunity reader. I will give most, if not everything, a gander before completely writing it off. For instance, I have always advocated against historical romances and right now I am reading a paranormal historical romance and am kind of digging it. I will have to see how I feel towards the end.
Which do you prefer? Emotional Contemporary or Paranormal/Supernatural?

Jeffery Bahr is holding a "Poetic Cross-Dressing Contest" (details here) which requires one to rewrite one well-known poet's well-known poem in the style of a second well-known poet. It looks like he's run a similar contest three times in the past, and he links to examples and past winners here, here, and here.
I love the premise and wish my brain felt fresh enough these days to do it serious justice. If yours does, the deadline is 3/6/09 and the prize is fantastic: "The winner will receive 4 one-year subscriptions to literary journals of his or her choice. The runner-up will receive 2 one-year subscriptions to literary journals of his or her choice."
Here's an entry from a previous year, by David Wright. Many are longer and deeper, but this one made me smile:
We Real Prufrock
We real depressed. We
get dressed. We
don't talk. We
just walk. We
don't giggle. We
pin and wriggle. We
measure spoons. We
drown soon.

Today we did have also some head wind .It seems that the wind is not really stopping..But it was nicely flyable with ± 800 m gain above take off .My other friend Alan took the Delta today ,take off weight @ 101 ! all up,and i was on the Mentor 2 S @ 95 all up.Both with pod harnesses.
Climbing seems equal like i described before,and may be a touch better for the Mentor 2.The delta was heavily loaded ! Today was full of transition comparisons.Up wind,downwind...
All the transition wing tip to wing tip at trim showed no difference in glide. Even in gusty head wind !
At first bar both gliders are also equal !!
At second bar ,and that wing loading,both are also equal in glide and speed !! May be the Delta have 1 km faster.
After 1 hour we landed on the take off and we switch gliders.
Alan took the Mentor 2 @ 101 all up,and i took the Delta @ 95.
At that wing loading i found that the Delta is a "mosquito" touch better in climb ,but Alan was over weight,very fast, but able to keep up very close.
Now for the transitions !!!
With the Delta @ 95 i had to use first bar to reach Mentor 2 trim speed ! with the same glide angle.
Alan on the Mentor 2 decided to use first bar .He was loaded at max and he was very very fast!! .
Now we both decided to use second bar ,at the deck ! Result : Alan on the Mentor 2 loaded at 101 was unreachable ...and had some impressive glide angle !!
Conclusion: We do confirm that they have "absolutely" the same glide at all speeds no matter what the conditions throw at us .
After landing Alan told me that the Mentor 2 was really impressive but he thinks that it is intended for educated dhv 1-2 pilots. I totally agree with him as the glider will be a real pleasure for the experienced pilots .
And i really meant it when i said that it is useless "for the time being"to fly higher rated gliders if you are not competing !! This green funny looking ,low aspect glider is really out of the ordinary !! try it !!
I will surely post this second day video also ,because the gliders were close all the time and the view was perfect.
Wish you all nice flights,

In Korea, racism is normal… sort of
November 2, 2009 in Cultural Background, Related articles | Tags: generation, generations, korea, korean, NYT, racism, tradition | by iamjamieread | 9 comments
An article in the NYT yesterday reminded me of a story:
My first day in Korea in 2005, I was riding the subway, watching an old wrinkled Korean lady bouncing a really cute baby on her knee. The kid's eyes were locked on mine as he garbled and cooed and his grandma smiled shyly at me in my amusement. Then the subway stopped and a young couple, a businessman and an old man came into the car. I kept making stupid faces at the child when I started hearing a loud Korean voice over the normal din of a midday train ride. At first I ignored it but then it became louder and more vicious sounding. I finally looked to see the old man sitting down and he was litterally spitting as he cursed foreign slurs directly at me. I was shocked and looked back at him. He stood up, assisted by a cane, and kept yelling at me. I moved back slightly, a little frightened when the grandma with the child said something to him in a stern voice and he sat back down. He kept muttering curses at me though until finally the young woman said something to him. She said it politely but with an edge and he finally shut up. She then turned to me and apologized. Her boyfriend did the same. I got off at the next stop. His eyes followed me out the door, as did the chubby cheeked Korean child.
I didn't know what that was about until later, it was explained to me that Koreans, especially the older generation, are pretty racist. It comes from living on an island. It comes from conservative education that tries to instill a strong sense of nationalistic and ethnic pride. It comes from Japanese invasions and drawn out wars. It comes from being stuck between some very distinct societies. It's kind of normal there. That's one of the reasons why it is a really big deal for me to be marrying Rory.
Long after I left Korea and travelled the rest of Asia, I looked back at my time and the people I met in Seoul. There was a serious shift happening and my generation in that country were torn between two very distinct cultures; that belonging to the old and traditional, conservative values of their parents and their own free-spirited, confused and artistically hungry sense of selves.
That train ride now reminds me very much of an elevator ride I took with my dad and great grandmother in her building when I was young and she was alive. A stubborn, Irish mother of 14 in rural Quebec, Great Grandma D'Arcy was a live, fallen power cable, full of spark and energy, often seen dancing a jig with a grin on her face. However, when two large black guys entered the car, her smile distorted as she began dropping N-bombs and cursing the most foul obscenities I think I've ever heard. Even as a young child I was shocked. I understood though that it was just her ignorance, her life in ethnic isolation. Not so different from the old Korean man on the train. I think Korea is one generation away from being awesome.
Going back to the NYT article, it is good to see that the government and laws in Korea are starting to reflect the new realities. In just the past seven years, the number of foreign residents has doubled, to 1.2 million and younger people are starting to marry non Koreans. People might read the article and think, 'wow, what took them so long' but consider that an interracial couple was denied a marriage license recently in the US.
I don't often tell her but I am supremely proud of my fiance for choosing to stand up against the traditions of her family and her country in order to marry me. Women like Rory have started challenging the norms. They are Korea's version of Richard Loving. I'm hopeful that our children will be the ones who set Korea free.

A federal district court in Milwaukee struck down a long-standing state law that required gas stations to mark up gas prices as much as 9 percent.
Originally passed in 1939, the law has been a target for elimination multiple times at the state Legislature. The state had until mid-March to file an appeal to the February ruling, but chose not to, likely because Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle has been a long-time critic of the law.
The ruling had markup critics celebrating what they claimed would be a 1 cent to 8 cent drop in gas prices for consumers. Supporters of the law said small mom-and-pop chains could be put out of business by larger retailers who can now sell gas at cost, or even use below-cost prices as a loss leader to get drivers into their convenience stores for other, more profitable purchases.
The ruling also affects retailers, who previously were prohibited from selling certain goods below cost. In 2003, the Federal Trade Commission ruled that markup laws discourage competition and raise consumer prices.

You Can't Hide Your Heart
R&B star Sean "Mr. Naughty" Maxwell is in need of a new manager, and classy Charlotte Richards, one of Hollywood's top talent managers, fits the bill with her impressive resume and curvaceous figure. Charlotte has worked hard to earn her stellar reputation and knows she is going to have to work even harder to keep her attraction to Sean under wraps. No sooner than the ink is dry on their business contract, a crisis arises where Charlotte innocently comforting Sean leads to a night of sweltering passion between the couple. Charlotte is determined not to repeat a mistake from her past while Sean now sees Charlotte as being much more than his business manager. Can this couple find their happily-ever-after with each other in both their personal and business relationships?
Goss has written a sweet and soulful romance of two strong-minded professionals learning how to come out on top in both life and love. Charlotte is a spitfire heroine whose stubbornness, holding on to her past almost crippled her from the man she desires. There were times when I just wanted to shake Charlotte to see how perfect Sean would be for her and just wanted some of that astuteness she showed in business relationships to apply to her personal life. Sean lives up to his role as a dreamy hero. I enjoyed his romantic wooing to win Charlotte over and often wondered when his patience would run out. Sean's growing maturity and understanding his respect and love for Charlotte was unfolded in a realistic manner. While the chemistry between the couples at times seems lacking their journey of personal revelations and professional success will hold the hearts and attention of readers.
SECRET RELATIONS is the first book in the Women in Hollywood series and Goss neatly introduced readers to the scenery, politics, and secrets that are as fundamental to the premise of the series as any of the characters. Charlotte and her two girlfriends make up a strong loving support network and I look forward to reading their stories.
I recommend SECRET RELATIONS to readers looking for a romantic and entertaining storyline.

Ocean Park's Atoll Reef In HongkongReviewing: Ocean Park Atoll Reef | Rating:
Atoll Reef found in Hongkong's Ocean Park is one of the best sights I've ever seen. Colorful creations are very lovely to look at plus plenty of sea-based stuffs are in there. They've very cool and the sight itself is very inviting. It gives a very calming experience to viewers that you just can't help but be gratified with such a scenic and wonderful creation. I wonder how such had been brought into existence. Conceptualizers of this great scenario must have been very brilliant that it brought its perfect idea into a reality. It just amazed me that I've always been wanting to go back and visit Ocean Park again. How about you? Were you able to experience the same as I do? If you haven't gone to Ocean Park, try to do so and enjoy its breath-taking spot such as Atoll Reef.

The MSc programme combines a foundation in general linguistic-phonetic theory and method with extensive practical experience in analysis of forensic materials.
The MSc has been designed in conjunction with one of the world's leading forensic speech laboratories, JP French Associates. The director of the laboratory, Professor Peter French, will deliver some of the taught components and will supervise some research projects.
Students are given the opportunity to go on site visits that will allow them to observe the working practices of the laboratory, as well as those of cognate institutions such as courts. They will carry out analyses of recordings from real forensic cases and will have the opportunity to develop expert witness communication skills by undergoing cross-examination from a practising barrister in the University's moot court.
Areas of the MSc overlap with those central to speech and recording technology and students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of the latest generation of automatic speaker recognition software used in banking and law enforcement, made available through the Department's partnership with Nuance.
Visit Forensic Speech Science at the University of York for more information.
STUDENTSHIPS: The Department offers two studentships, each to the value of £3,500 towards course fees, for students who have no other funding. Studentship applications are reviewed each year on 30th March. If you have any queries, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Speaker comparison is the most common task in forensic speech analysis. It involves the comparison of speech patterns to assess the possibility of identity or non-identity of voices. Comparison is made by examining the phonetic, linguistic and acoustic components of the speech, and may be supplemented by automated procedures using speaker recognition technology.
Voices are highly variable, and comparison can be a very complex matter.

Disputed utterance examination involves analysis of problematic sections of recordings to determine what was said. There may be dispute, for example, because of noisy conditions, overlapping speech, accents, dialects, or even language.
Enhancement may be carried out to assist in this kind of work. Enhancement involves applying digital filters and dynamic processors to recordings to reduce background noise and improve intelligibility of speech.

Profiling involves analysis of recordings of unknown speakers to gain information about the regional and social background of the speaker.
Background noise may also provide information about where and when the recording was made.

Murder investigation
Sometimes voice evidence can be crucial in a case even when it has not been recorded. A witness may have heard a voice but not seen the face of the speaker, for example if receiving abusive phone calls, witnessing a crime in the dark, or encountering masked robbers.
It is now generally accepted that witnesses must undergo formal testing in order to demonstrate their ability to recognise a particular voice. This is usually done via the construction of a voice "identification parade" in which the witness is asked to identify the criminal's voice within a group of foils.
Forensic speech analysts are also involved in general experimental work to test recognition and recall of voices.

Some forensic cases involve analysis of recordings of non-speech sounds such as gun shots, machine noise or coughs.
In other cases sound propagation tests may be carried out, for example to assess whether a particular sound would have been audible to a witness at a particular location.
You should normally hold or expect to receive a good 2:1 or equivalent in your first degree.
If your first language is not English and your first degree was not taken in an English speaking country, you will need to show evidence that you meet our English Language requirements.

Uncover what number of holes it has – some courses have only 9 and, to perform a complete eighteen holes of golf, you simply go all-around 2 times. Walk a handful of holes and take a appear on the program. Verify to find out regardless of whether it appears well managed. Are the greens plush and in some cases? Could be the tough bearable? Will it look like they frequently mend divot holes? There is certainly absolutely nothing a lot more discouraging for your beginner golfer than enjoying a program that ends up being also hard simply because of weak servicing. Whilst badly managed programs can provide numerous enjoyment value – you realize you search amusing if you're swinging absent in a bunker – they do not offer just as much "good" knowledge for any newbie golfer for a nicely cared for system will.
That delivers up another detail to check, the expense of a spherical. You are going to locate some huge dissimilarities in cost from training course to system, and lots of public golf courses present minimized prices at selected moments of your working day and during the off-season. For instance, public golf classes in Phoenix, Arizona, identified as the City of Golfing, sometimes low cost their rates by as much as fifty p.c for the duration of the recent summer season months.

Most rookies spend considerably also substantially time on the follow putting inexperienced and never almost more than enough time about the driving range.

The Unicorn Said Yes by T. A. Chase
Published by Pride Publishing Genres: MM, Paranormal
All alone, sitting in a booth at the bar Unconventional, Carney Ferguson celebrates his 25th birthday trying to enjoy his first taste of alcohol. Growing up with a large brood of siblings who were sheltered and homeschooled Carney has had little to no experience with anything resembling relationships. He's twenty-five and still a virgin.
Taking a break from the responsibilities of the herd unicorn Alpha Ivan Brusilov has left his brothers in charge while he blows off some steam at one of his favorite bars. It's hard work to keep the herd safe and happy, but Ivan's been doing a good job of it for over a century. At one point unicorn shifters were hunted to near extinction. With the help of other shifter groups they've made a slow and steady recovery though they continue to be careful.
It doesn't take Ivan long to spot the young man nursing a drink. For some reason the alpha is drawn to him which is explained when Carney blurts out he's a virgin. Ivan thought it was a myth that unicorn shifters desire virgins above all else, but after meeting Carney he knows the legend has merit.
They agree to meet again at Cleveland National Park in order to spend more time getting to know each other. Carney is ready for the man who touches his heart while Ivan believes he's found his mate. Unfortunately, there are others who have plans far from love and commitment.
A satisfying sweet and sexy little tale. Taking readers on a dangerous ride The Unicorn Said Yes twists and turns with deadly accuracy. Engaging characters tentatively begin to explore their feelings before the storyline grabs hold and ramps up to an expected though still riveting climax. Carney and Ivan absolutely triumph in The Unicorn Said Yes.

To see how a drum major should work with their band director — you need to watch Star Trek
But, very few directors and drum majors achieve a highly productive working relationship. After observing many programs over a number of decades, I've discovered that most directors and drum majors don't have a clear idea of how the two should work together.
There is a simple solution. Watch some of the reruns of the television show, Star Trek, The Next Generation.
Now, before you write me off a lunatic, hear me out. The command model used in the show provides an excellent model for a marching band.
Let me set-up the characters: In charge of the Starship Enterprise, is the intelligent, dashing, heroic, Captain Picard. Our parallel is of course, the band director.
The next in command, is the First Officer, Commander Riker. In our parallel, this is the drum major.
Commander Riker is in charge of running things when the captain is not around. He is also the one who leads the away teams on special missions — not unlike how the drum major leads the band in performance.
What is interesting to watch is how the two work together to keep the ship running smoothly. Here is a typical scene you'll see in just about any Star Trek episode:
The scene is the bridge is the Starship Enterprise. We see a set of three large chairs in the center. Around them are other members of the crew at various stations. Commander Riker sits in the Command Chair, running the ship.
Captain Picard enters from his "Ready Room" on the right. As he comes on to the bridge, Commander Riker immediately turns the command chair over to the Captain. He either moves over to the next chair or goes up and hangs out with the Security Officer. (The security Officer is a big Klingon named Worf, who is similar to some drum instructors I've known...but that isn't important in this example. :)
At the end of the scene, Captain Picard usually leaves the bridge. As he does, Commander Riker immediately resumes command and returns to the Command Chair.
It is always smooth and immediate. You never hear Commander Riker say anything like: "Oh Picard, do you want me to watch things while you go in your office and chat?" Everyone understands that the ship always needs someone running things. So the transitions are smooth and immediate.
A good marching band or drum corps works the same way.
Putting this to work with you band
Number two is that the band always needs someone "running the ship" sos there is no question. If the Director is not there, then the next in command keeps things moving forward.
Here's an example: At the start of a typical rehearsal, the last person out of the band room is often the director. They have to handle a number of details at the start of rehearsal, and if nothing else, they are the one who locks the door before going out to the rehearsal area.
Most drum majors do not take command of the rehearsal to get things started and instead wait for the director to show up.
Suppose instead, the drum major were to begin setting the band in formation and had them in their warm-ups by the time the director arrived? How much time would this save? About 5 - 10 minutes? This may not seem like much, but multiply this every rehearsal over the course of an entire season.
This becomes many additional hours of rehearsal time.
Often, by the end of the season the difference between placing and not placing — or placing and winning — is a fraction of a point.
Could your band be a half point better by season's end if you had an additional 5 - 10 hours of rehearsal time?
The secret is having the drum major take responsibility for the forward motion of rehearsals and take command of the group when the director is not there.
Go ahead. Watch Star Trek and then see how you can apply it to your marching program.

just introduced mom to some new options for holiday food shopping the next time around. we had a little learning session on things like free range, hormone/anti-biotic free meat.
it's the little things i hope to instill into our traditions. now the only thing we didn't talk about was price…
but really, what is the real price we pay for our low cost groceries (ok, i even agree that sounded cheesy) but, unfortunately, it's true.
for the record, i understand there is a larger debate about things like organic, local, etc. and i don't think whole foods is perfect, but they do indeed try and have helped sway the market to better accountability. and when it comes to meat production and farming standards, i really see there being some pretty black and white arguments. here's their philosophy on meat.
happy holidays! 🙂

Children of Chinese tycoons, known as second-generation rich kids, may not want to succeed in the family business because they want to pursue other interests or prefer to build their wealth through their own efforts.
Some tycoons don't want their children to take over, either. They don't want to burden their kids with the huge responsibility of running a big corporate at a young age.
Michael Chan Yue-kwong, chairman of fast-food group Cafe de Coral, is one such dad.
"I would describe second-generation rich kids as fish in the tank. The whole world is watching them. Public comments, expectations from parents, and their own aspirations, these can all bring considerable pressure," Chan told the Hong Kong Economic Journal Monthly.
"Imagine how stressful it would be for a 20-something lad to become the head of a large corporation overnight and to make all the major decisions."
Chan would rather his son strike out on his own instead of living under someone else's shadow.
In fact, Chan has a much broader definition of succession. Even though his children may not be taking the helm of the group, it's still succession if they are involved in a related business.
"My daughter designs restaurants and my son runs a bakery. The family business tradition, concepts and values have been passed on indirectly. This is what I call lateral succession."
Chan also has his unique coaching style to support his kids.
"It's like flying a kite: I let them fly as they wish but there is still a thread. When there is a need, I would still be able to help," says Chan.
Chan adopts what he dubbed a "2+2+2 approach".
"When they started their ventures, in the first two years, I gave them my opinion regarding major decisions, like picking the shop location or tendering. In the second two-year phase, unless they came and asked me, I would not give them any suggestion. Now, in the third two-year phase, I am just an observer."
Chan says he wants his kids to create their own future and chase their own dreams, instead of trying to be a clone of himself, repeating what he has done before.

I haven't watched a football match for two months and good grief I needed that.
I'd slipped into the habit of watching summer football in the last two or three years – like some of you crazy cats do – and I've realised it was a major contributory factor to my vague, uneasy feeling of jadedness towards football last season.
It wasn't that I'd fallen out of love with football, I'd just had too much of it. You can definitely have too much of a good thing. I mean, if I ate eat peanut butter every day for a year I'd certainly get utterly sick of it, but if I then didn't eat it at all for a couple of months it would no doubt taste delicious again. Same with football, I reckon.
In the internet age it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to keep tabs on every tiny happening in football over the summer. Well here's the thing: if Chelsea sign someone for a few million, or Ipswich lose one of their most promising youngsters, or Barcelona sign a new reserve keeper – it doesn't actually matter if you find this out in May, June, July or even early August. In fact, by avoiding this news over the early part of the summer you allow yourself one of football's great pleasures, that of devouring a pre-season preview when you don't know who's signed who.
In the 1980s and 1990s, before we found out everything instantly on Twitter and the internet, I'd often only discover who Newcastle had spaffed a few million on by reading a new season pullout from my nan's Daily Mirror, or in FourFourTwo's always-eagerly-anticipated "The Season Starts Here"/"Big Kick-Off" issue. Sure, occasionally I'd flick on Ceefax and have a brief browse, but often those printed column inches of "Ins" and "Outs" – with player names tantalisingly highlighted in bold – were the first I'd heard of these deals. You'd start reading with an idea in your head of where teams were last season, and by the time you'd read to the end your brain would be racing with possibilities for the new season.
And so, as July nears an end, it's time to dive in. For the first time in ages I get to enjoy some of these rather retro sensations again. Batteries recharged, now comes the rush. That glorious clamour for every fixture grid, pre-season preview, squad number list (have you seen Villa's? What a thrill), third kit unveiling, transfer announcement (though I draw the line at rumours), and prediction article (ranging from the play-safe to the downright nuts) that I can get my hands on. I can't get enough of it now, because I've reached the point of genuinely missing football. If you'd asked me a week ago, I still wasn't there. It's only arrived the last couple of days. But, if I'm honest, perhaps I've been suppressing it for slightly longer. You can't start too early though, otherwise it's not as good, not as gleefully satisfying. It lacks a certain giddy fizz.
I'm back in the game. Football, you're welcome back in my life. But one thing I won't be doing is watching any televised friendlies. I avoid them at all costs. Managers are still experimenting, nobody is taking anything too seriously, and exotic new signings are still shaking off jet lag and learning what "nobody told me my squad number would be 38" is in English.
But if you really must watch a friendly on television – if that really is the best thing you've got to do with your time – for goodness sake don't read too much into it. Otherwise you'll be going around saying things like: "Mark my words, Bentley's going to be a brilliant signing for Spurs, he's been on fire in pre-season" – Me, Summer 2008.
It's just pre-season. It means next to nothing. Shouldn't you be in a beer garden somewhere? Still no Match Of The Day for another four weekends. And that's actually a good thing. Let the anticipation build. Go and buy World Soccer and read it in the park with a Calippo lolly.

Versace Spring 2011
Last year's spring women's presentation was called a triumphant return of Versace's former glory. I would have to agree with the critics for the most part; the quality of work and salability has been quite consistent for the past few seasons. And for today's spring 2011 men's presentation in Milan this year, she has continued on this path of taste.
The most obvious influence of this season is Art Deco. The geometric patterns seemed to run off the models right onto the runway itself. The motif (which can easily go awry) was executed pretty tastefully for the most part and was especially chic in shirting and the high-stanced tailored suiting. There were touches of 1980s in the color story and silhouette and western flourishes like fringe and short collars were actually refreshing instead of corny. The novelty fabrications are definitely not for most men, but it certainly still has relevance to today's market.
I loved the long blazers as key fashion items. The a garment like this has great movement and is a quirky take on the blend between formal and outerwear:
This leather cropped trench is going to be a big seller:
Some of the collection, however, is kind of questionable. I understand the purpose of making a statement, but I find sifting through the crap (contrast tuxedo shirts, leather vests, and sleeveless dressshirts) to be tiresome. And it is a shame that the casting missed its mark. The finale of swimwear and robes would have been much more compelling on the right bodies.
Check out the full collection here.

It was 130 years ago today that American outlaw Jesse James was shot in the back in St. Joseph, Missouri, by a member of his own gang, Robert Ford. James was only 34 years old. Ford later tried to exploit his obvious act of homicide, posing for photographs and staging re-enactments of James' death, but with limited success. Ford was himself murdered 10 years later.

The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) and VT Industries recently announced winners of a student design competition. The competition sponsored by VT Industries and administered by the AIAS, challenged students to develop a door around the theme of looking at this type of threshold in all facets: energy passage, security, universal accessibility, physical composition and most of all design. The design concept should be iconic and set the stage for the next generation to associate with transition from one place to another. Total prize money was $3,450, including $1,500 for the overall winning design.
Casey McLaughlin, fourth year student at University of New Mexico was the overall winner with his design "Bringing Outside In," a door to the AIAS President's office in Washington, DC. With this concept, he brought the iconic DC symbol of the cherry tree into his pattern when designing the door. A cherry timber door was used, as well as transparent glass residing in the center. By manipulating the light with the glass, he created an abstract pattern that represents the exterior environment of DC.

Midwifery is a profession which is experiencing rapid developments at the moment, as birth is slowly returned to "normalcy" and attitudes surrounding birth are shifting away from the medical model and into the midwifery model. The benefits of less intervention, a quiet, dimly lit home-like (or home) environment, immediate skin to skin contact and delayed cord clamping, to name just a few things, are better known than ever, and thus the benefits of one-to-one care by a midwife, rather than an obstetrician, or obstetrical team, are coming into the spotlight, and midwifery is becoming a profession in its own right again!
I'm really lucky to go to one of the only universities in Australia that offers a direct-entry Bachelor of Midwifery, with a strong, woman-centred focus and a curriculum which supports and encourages continuity of care between women and midwives throughout the ante-natal, peri-natal and post-natal periods. I count my lucky stars every day to be a part of such a degree, run by such enthusiastic, knowledgable and experienced midwifery academics. Being a young, childless, fresh-faced, enthusiastic first-year student, my eyes are really being opened to the disparity between evidence and practice in the hospital setting when it comes to maternity care, and I have no doubt that my opinion of what constitutes "good" midwifery practice will only grow as my degree, and indeed my career, goes on.
Right now, what is really resonating with me is the lack of choice Australian mothers have over where they give birth. Many mothers probably don't even realise that they do indeed have a choice over where they give birth. They are simply sent from their GP straight to the hospital! So, I did what anyone with dreams of a career as a home birthing midwife would do and sent a letter to my local health district to ask that Medicare funded home birth be considered as an extension of the Lismore Community Midwifery Service, which delivers in-home antenatal and postnatal care to low-risk women in the Lismore area, and guess what? I actually got a reply!
So there you go - if you want to see change, be the change! This might not seems like much to some, but it's a start! We might even get the funding by the time I finish my degree - how cool would that be?

Despite the recent cold weather Decoy Lakes looks to be running into much better form.
And that will be music to the ears of those teams across the country heading over to the Whittlesey venue later in the month to compete in the Angling Trust Winter League Final.
In fact numbers are already well above the seasonal average as anglers are fishing the big open matches to try and gain some knowledge in preparation for the big day.
In the Saturday Open match it was local rod Rob Goodson leading the way. He drew on the Horseshoe Pool peg five and caught on the feeder and long pole with hard pellet for 79lb 9oz.
Steve Palmer took the runner-up spot with 75lb 14oz, followed by Stuart Bracey on 65lb 8oz.
There was an even bigger turnout for the Sunday Open fished on several of the lakes across the complex.
This match saw Anthony King topping the field with a very impressive 123lb 4oz from the Damson Pool. He fished the long pole with maggot.
Richard Hall came in second from Yew 18 netting a mixed bag for a level 100lb, and then came Bob Sharpe with 94lb 4oz.
OVER 55s
In the Over 55s match at Decoy those fishing enjoyed some reasonable sport on the Willows.
Top rod with 72lb 3oz was Gus Gausden, who drew peg 22 and caught on the pole with pellet.
Runner-up from peg 29 was Pete Carter. He fished maggot on the pole to the point of the island to weigh in 50lb 13oz, just ahead of Mick King, who put 50lb 6oz to the scales from peg 20.
A difficult Beastie Lake greeted the JVAC anglers on Sunday for their club match at Decoy.
It was close at the top of the leaderboard which saw Jay Richardson out in front with a level 44lb taken short on red maggot from peg five.
In second place was Andy Gausden. He was on peg 12 and chopped and changed tactics all day to keep the silvers and F1s coming for 39lb 12oz.
Next was Mick King with 38lb taken on the feeder and short pole from peg 15.
Making it three wins on the trot in the Cock Inn winter league was Paul Faulkner.
He drew peg eight on Six Islands and caught steadily all day on sweetcorn over micro pellet fished out long to record a weight of 83lb 15oz.
Chris Shortland with 36lb 5oz came in second from peg 20, all his fish caught on the feeder to the island, then came Pete Sanderson with 33lb 6oz.
Just to round off a good day for matchwinner Faulkner, he also won the best pairs with Bob Mills with a combined weight of 109lb 5oz.
Sport has picked up a little at Float Fish Farm Fishery too. It's not easy but those with extra patience and a little luck at the draw have had some success.
In the Wednesday Over 55s it was Dave Marzell topping the leaderboard. He caught on popped up bread in conjunction with a small pellet feeder for 28lb 12oz.
Pat North caught on a small soft pellet fished on the feeder to claim second place with 27lb 8oz, then came Dave Langstone with 18lb 1oz.
In the Saturday open match fished on Two lslands, match organiser Alan Marshall fished a small feeder all day with pellet to finish top on 24lb 3oz.
Andy Adams came second with 21lb 12oz, followed by Stan Dow on 18lb 8oz.
Webb's AC fished the Horseshoe Pool on Sunday which saw Mike Linnell back in top form putting a match-winning 33lb 5oz to the scales, all taken on the feeder on pellet and red maggot from peg one.
Runner-up was Ken Allum, who also fished a small feeder for 13lb 5oz, then came Andy Perry with 9lb 2oz and George Scally in third place with 6lb 4oz.
A change of venue for the Deeping St James club onto the in-form River Welland at Deeping Roadside saw some fine nets of roach taken.
And there was none better than the 18lb Ray Torrington took from peg 11.
He fished breadpunch on the pole and short whip.
Second place went to Steve Cox from peg 12 with 15lb 4oz, again all roach caught on punch, and then came Nigel Collis in third spot with 9lb 14oz from peg 10.

Staying hungry in life helps keep you from being slowly eaten from the inside out. So, what grabs your attention? What piques your interest or excites you? What are you hungry for? The beauty and satisfaction isn't only in the discovery. It also in the adventure.
The only person hunger answers to is the one that feeds it.
Stay hungry, my friends.

The value of a signed limited edition print is determined by the artist, the quality of the print and the provenance of the particular edition. Prints with a smaller number of editions are generally more valuable than those with larger numbers.
A good place to start when valuing a limited edition print is the quality of the print itself. Certain methods of printing are more reliable and produce higher quality prints. Giclee and screen printing can produce higher quantities of prints because there is less degradation of the original image with each print produced. Other printmaking methods, such as lithography and etching, are not as reliable and can only produce small editions. The edition number is typically recorded as a ratio on the back of the print. For example, 1/100 means that 100 prints were produced in total and this particular print is the first. Prints with smaller edition numbers are often more valuable because they are assumed to be of a higher quality.
Another important factor in valuing a signed limited edition print is its provenance. Provenance is the artwork's history of ownership and is a good tool for proving the authenticity of an artwork. Limited edition prints should come with a certificate of authenticity from the artist and receipts from the previous owners and sellers.
