Ghazal Vaghedi, a committed proponent of "crowdfunding," presented the case to MVDP Thursday for why and how nonprofits might adopt this technique.
Ghazal, the vice president for digital philanthropy at Razoo.com in San Francisco, said that crowdfunding is "using the Internet to fund a project by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people."
Four years ago crowdfunding produced an estimated $1.5 billion in donations. Last year the revenue generated totaled $16.2 billion. In 2015 it is expected to produce $34.4 billion.
Ghazal said that the average successful crowdfunding campaign generates $9,000 for nonprofits. The essentials for a successful campaign are:
- Developing a strategy utilizing a unique story;
- Identifying and quantifying measurable and attainable goals;
- Creating a simple, personal story; and
- Testing the ask to make sure it's working.
She offered several case studies to support her points. Click here, here and here for three sample case studies. Her PowerPoint slides are stored here.
Razoo, which is one of several platforms that host crowdfunding campaigns, has no up-front charges to launch a fundraising drive. There is technical help available, too. Razoo charges a 6.9 percent fee to handle donations through the site, although some donors are willing to absorb the fee so that 100 percent of the planned donation goes to the nonprofit conducting the campaign.
Coming next to MVDP is a May 21 program featuring Bill Kemp from Bend presenting ideas on "building a development plan on a shoestring." The event returns to the Central Willamette Community Credit Union in Albany from 1 to 5 p.m. Register attendance at mvdp-or.org.
Kay Sprinkel Grace, a nationally known consultant speaker and writer, returns to Salem for an afternoon presentation June 10 on retaining donors through a conscientious stewardship effort. This program is co-sponsored by MVDP and the Center for Community Innovation, which will host the event at 1255 Broadway NE. Special pricing will be in effect: $30 for MVDP season-pass holders and CCI members and $60 for guests and non-members.

What's AI?
Artificial Intelligence is the technology which recreates human intelligence by making a software that understands human habits. AI reconnects both physical and digital worlds while addressing retail online and offline challenges. It marks a new age of the eCommerce business, as it helps to bring companies closer to their clients while incorporating the original brick-and-mortar experience in the online shopping. More and more retailers turn to artificial intelligence in order to transform online buying into a personalized journey.
Types of AI
Chatbots enable brands to develop natural interactions with their customers. Titan was the first one to launch a chatbot on its website which helped predominantly millennials to choose their products based on robotic intelligence. Now, predictable intelligence and contextual messaging are becoming an important part of many eCommerce sites. Leveraging personal data allows sellers and brands to offer customers a personal shopping assistant. The personal stylist is available while clients are shopping, displaying recommendations to complete the look. This plays a key role in conversion and upsell. It is expected that customers will manage 85% of their enterprise relationship without human interaction by 2020.
Visual Search
Gone are the times when users used only a text-based search to look for an item they want to bay. Now, the online stores are taking advantage of visual search. This AI technology analyzes pictures taken and submitted by the potential client and then displays products that match the image.
Voice Search
Apart from visual search, eCommerce businesses can incorporate voice search on their sites. This technique allows customers to search for items using speech. Voice Search uses AI in order to understand the speech and recognize words and phrases. The voice assistants like Siri and Alexa has been popularized in the last few years. It's predicted that by 2020, a whopping 50% of the web searches will be conducted by voice.
Merchandise Management
AI helps business owners to track product that is sold frequently, which products need to be added or restocked, and which ones are not selling well. Merchandise management is a smart technique that will provide sufficient insight for the sellers to remain ahead of their competition.
How Does AI Affect Online Shopping?
Personalized Online Experience
AI adds a layer of narrative to the shopping journey which has an emotional impact on the shoppers, helping in their purchase decision. AI image search is crucial to the ambition of building a data-science model that drives relevant product offerings to consumers. This is possible because the AI can analyze large data sets far more efficiently than a human being. It highly understands customers' interests based on the images they browse online and the social pages they follow and identifies clusters and patterns in the information. Similarities between customers, past purchasing behavior, and credit checks are just some of the threads that can be analyzed on a daily basis to target offers down to a single client. The insight that companies gain through AI allows them to create a more personalized shopping experience for their clients and engage with them at every point of the contact.
Smoother Sales Process
Today, the sales process has become more sophisticated and is highly influenced by social media platforms. So, integrating AI into the seller's CRM can be a powerful weapon for creating a sales message that reaches targeted customers. AI collects and manages different types of content generated from users in order to provide more efficient sales process and increased purchases. The AI system can support natural language learning and voice input, which in return, will enable your CRM to answer customers' problems and possibly identify new opportunities for sales. All these interfaces can be used by the sellers to create a highly-refined sales process that helps to improve both clients' experience and conversion rates.
Retargeting Customers
AI can be used to enhance the sales cycles by evolving the marketing process intelligence. AI constantly develops and improves, enabling eCommerce business owners a wide variety of possibilities for retargeting potential customers. Firstly, facial recognition can capture clients' dwell times which makes it possible for sellers to pop-up special offers the next time they visit their site. This works almost like reading customers' minds and responding to their leads and impulses by offering exactly what they are desiring, thus boosting the online sales.
Undoubtedly, Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the online shopping experience. It changes the way companies deal with their customers, providing a quick access to relevant information and offering customized solutions to clients. Eventually, AI will become the keystone on how humans interact with machines, making our lives easier, safer, and more productive.

Herbal Information For You
Allergy testing can be very quick or very time consuming. Tests are needed to determine which allergen may be causing a reaction. After an allergy report is obtained the health care provider can then recommend an allergy treatment.
Skin prick tests are the most common form
of testing. A selected allergen is applied to the forearm or the back and
the skin is gently pricked. A red flare on the skin will appear within 20
minutes to prove the allergy.
Another form of testing is patch tests.
Patches with particular substances are applied to the back in strips. The
area is examined after a few days. Positive results will show as redness
at the site.
Another type of testing is an elimination
diet and challenge testing. The diet is used to isolate foods that can be
causing an allergic reaction. This diet can last several weeks and the
patient must avoid foods identified as common causes of food allergy. If
symptoms improve allergen known foods are added one at a time until
symptoms recur. This reintroduction of allergen known foods is known as
challenge testing. This diet must be performed under medical supervision
and a careful diary is needed to track symptoms
Reactions to testing like anaphylaxis can be life threatening. A qualified health professional should perform all tests so that they can anticipate and treat any allergic reactions.

France hosted the 1998 tournament, but U.S. court documents contain prosecutors' allegations that bidding nation Morocco had paid a bribe to a FIFA executive, Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago.
Warner has denied this and other charges against him and has said he fears for his life, though he has also said he will tell investigators all he knows about corruption at FIFA.
"Morocco denies categorically these slanderous accusations against the officials of the country's organising committee of the 1998 World Cup," said a statement from Morocco's football federation, known by its French initials FRMF, according to state news agency MAP.
"Regarding its efforts … Morocco deserved better treatment instead of tendentious and unfounded rumours," it said.
Earlier this month, FIFA postponed the bidding for the right to host the 2026 World Cup and Swiss authorities took possession of computer data from the global soccer body that a source said included records from the office of its president.
The FBI are investigating bribery and corruption at FIFA, including scrutiny of how soccer's governing body awarded World Cup hosting rights to Russia and Qatar.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on June 2 he would step down over the corruption scandal.

"We're grateful to the Villager Pub for hosting Pints for Prostates. Events like this help us reach men in a friendly and non-threatening way when they may be willing to listen to a message about prostate health screening and PSA testing," said Joshua Meyerson, MD, MPH, Medical Director for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, which is sponsoring the local event.
4,000 men are diagnosed each week with prostate cancer. "The key for these men is detecting the disease in the early stages when treatment is nearly 100 percent successful," said Meyerson.
"All men should start getting screened for prostate cancer when they reach 40 years old," he said. "The death rate from prostate cancer has declined in the last two decades because of improvements in testing and treatment. Still, thousands of men die needlessly each year because there is a lack of information sharing. Prostate cancer occupies the same social standing as breast cancer did in this country 30 years ago. Thanks to the pink ribbon campaign's impact on early detection, scores of women have survived breast cancer. Men need to talk to other men and reduce the stigma of prostate cancer."
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties.

Many have used these passages to say that a woman should have her head covered in public worship services, and some say all the time, but is that what Paul was trying to convey? No, Paul is not telling women to cover their heads with a head covering, but he is laying out in typical rabbinical language what behaviors are proper in public worship concerning the husband and wife relationship.
This teaching of Paul's is based on several passages in the Torah, particularly Numbers 30.1-16, where it says that a wife is under her husband's authority when it comes to what she says she is going to do or say. This concept will come up in 1 Cor 11.34-35 and 1 Tim 2.11-12 and that will be dealt with later. But first, let's work in 1 Cor 11.1-16 and deal with each verse so that we can get the proper context.
In verse 1, Paul says that the Corinthians should imitate him as he imitates Yeshua. We know that Yeshua was Torah observant and so was Paul, so he is telling the Corinthians to be Torah observant also. In verse 2, he praises them because they are holding fast to the "traditions" he has delivered to them. The word "traditions" is the Greek word "paradosis" which means the traditional and biblical concepts found in the Torah, or Jewish law (halakah).
Now, he is specifically referring to the ones he taught them, not all the man-made traditions the Jewish people followed at the time. He taught the ones that did not conflict with the Torah and the ones he felt applied to the Corinthians (1 Cor 7.17-19).
Verse 3 is the key to understanding this whole passage. He lays out the line of authority and the roles that each play in relation to one another. It seems that the Corinthians still had a lot of Greek concepts concerning the roles of men and women interfering with their relationships that were not consistent with the Scriptures. He tries to show them that this authority does not mean that men are better than women but he is laying out what the biblical roles are. Messiah is the head of every man and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Messiah.
So, with that in mind let's look at the verses and put them into context. Once we do that, we are going to look at 1 Cor 14.34-35 and 1 Tim 2.11-15 using the information we have learned. But first, we will start in 1 Cor 11.4 and go to verse 16, with comments in parenthesis to help clarify what Paul is trying to convey.
Verse 4 says that every man who has his head covered (by anything else but the ruling authority of Messiah and this could be his wife, family or any organization that is contrary to what Messiah wants him to do) while praying or prophesying disgraces his head (Messiah). But every woman who has her head uncovered (against the ruling authority in her life like her husband or father-Num 30.1-16; Eph 5.22) while praying or prophesying disgraces her head (her husband, father or the ruling biblical authority in her life) for she is one and the same with one whose head is shaved (done to an adulteress, a spiritual harlot).
For if a woman does not cover her head (goes against her husband, father or biblical ruling authority in her life) let her have her hair cut off (not literally but he is saying she is like an adulteress or harlot); but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off and her head shaved, let her cover her head (come under her husband, father or biblical ruling authority). For a man ought not to have his head covered (by any other authority than Messiah) since he is in the image and glory of God (who made him) but the woman is the glory of man (in Greek there is a definite article before man, it means a definite man, in this case Adam).
For a man does not originate from woman, but a woman from man (Paul is saying that is why man is her authority). For indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake. Therefore, the woman ought to have authority (a husband, father or biblical ruling authority) on her head (v3) because of the angels (who went past their ruling authority and usurped authority that did not belong to them, and they "fell"). However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man nor is man independent of the woman (but both are complete in the Lord). For as the woman originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman and all things originate from God.
Judge for yourselves, is it proper for a woman (remember, woman in many cases is to be understood in context as "wife", especially here) to pray uncovered (by going against her husband's authority). Does not even nature teach you that if a man has long hair it is dishonorable to him but if a woman has long hair it is a glory to her. For her hair is given to her as a covering. But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice nor have the congregations (don't bother to argue about this because the Scriptures teach exactly what I am saying concerning this concept of headship).
So, with all this in mind, now read Num 30.1-16 to see what Paul is basing this teaching on. This chapter in Numbers is called "the Law of the Tongue" and it has to do with the power of the spoken word and it is based on ancient Israel and the tribal concepts and customs. You will see the role a husband and father has over his wife and daughter and the context in which these things were enacted. These concepts and customs would be carried on even after Israel settled in the land of Israel.
When congregations were established, the concepts that were used to keep order in families were adopted into the congregations as well. The basis for this Torah instruction is found in Gen 3.16 where it says that the husband would "rule" over the wife. Basically, the heads of the tribes were the ruling authority and a person who made a vow better keep his word. Also, if a woman makes a vow but lives with her father, and her father hears the vow, he can annul it. If he does nothing, the vow would stand because his silence was seen as agreement.
The same concept was true for a wife. The husband can annul her vow on the day he hears it, but if he says nothing, then it stands. The point is, a wife or daughter have a head over them and they cannot usurp authority over their "head." This basic order goes all the way back to Gen 3.16, and when Paul is giving the Corinthians instruction in 1 Cor 11, he is drawing from many verses and concepts found in the Torah. This concept in 1 Cor 11 is nothing new and is merely passing on to the Corinthians what was already being taught since creation.
The Corinthians, being Greek and brought up in pagan traditions, would not have understood all this and they needed to be instructed. The Greek religious cults at the time told women that they didn't have to listen to men, that they were independent and could do whatever they wanted to. Well, once these pagan people became believers they still carried some of these ideas with them in their relationships and it caused trouble. Paul had to deal with it.
This is not saying that a man is better than a woman, but it is the order that was established since creation to keep order. Every organization (like a congregation, tribe, family) had to have a structure. Remember, he praised them for holding fast to the Jewish laws and traditions he taught them and so he is getting them in line concerning these concepts. Now, from here let's use what we have learned and apply these concepts to several other verses that seem to cause people problems and get misinterpreted.
The first one we will look at is 1 Cor 14.34-35. Paul will base what he says here on Gen 3.16 and Num 30.1-16 again. We will write the verse out again and give commentary in parenthesis. Verse 34 begins by saying the woman (wives in particular) should keep silent in the congregations (meaning "be courteous, don't interrupt by breaking in to judge a prophecy." Paul has already said that they could speak, pray and prophesy in 1 Cor 11.5 so "silence " is not the issue here, but judging a prophecy is).
For they (wives) are not permitted to speak (go against their husbands, fathers or biblical ruling authority. This instruction had to do with the Corinthian women in particular and not an overall rule for all believing women. They did not have the knowledge or experience yet and some still believed that women were superior to men). But let them subject themselves, just as the Torah also says (in Gen 3.16; Num 30.1-16) and if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands (their covering) at home, for it is improper for a woman (wife) to speak in the congregation (without or against her husband's authority).
In 1 Tim 2.11-15 we have another verse that gets misinterpreted unless you understand the proper context. It begins by saying that a woman (wife) should quietly receive instruction with submissiveness (learn in tranquility, silence or with composure) but I (Paul) do not allow a woman (wife) to teach (wrong doctrine) or exercise authority (by dominating) over a man (husband), but to remain quiet (composed). Zodiates in his translation says that "A wife, in quietness, I let learn in submission, but a wife I will not let dominate a husband but to be in all quietness."
Paul is writing to believers in Ephesus (another Greek city) that was home to the Artemis, or Diana, cult. This cult tried to seduce believers with wrong doctrine and the women there believed that they were superior to men. Paul is trying to lay a proper biblical foundation with these believers which went against what they had seen, been taught and experienced in their previous, but pagan, religious training and beliefs. For it was Adam who was first created, not Eve (which is why she is subject to her own husband) and not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression. But woman (wives) shall be preserved through the bearing of children (women are preserved for this even though they bring forth children in pain and sorrow according to the original curse in Gen 3.16) if they continue in faith and love and sincerity with restraint (and not a temporary confession like in Luke 8.13).
So, as we pull all this together in a Hebraic context, we can see that Paul was teaching the proper structure and chain of authority in a marriage or congregational setting and "who covers who" in a spiritual context and he used that knowledge to deal with particular issues that had arisen in some of the very pagan Greek cities he worked in. It is a classic example of traditional Hebrew thought over Hellenistic. It was a problem back then and it is a problem today. These verses and their misinterpretations have unjustly subjected women to a second class position in many denominations and congregations but that was the furthest thing from Paul's mind.
Why would God fill a woman with the Ruach ha Kodesh and then tell her to be silent. The answer is he doesn't but there is a structure that is laid down in the Scriptures so that everyone has a place and voice to do the will of God.
Now, there is an interesting interpretation of these verses found in the article called "Wild Hair and Gender Equality in 1 Corinthians 11.2-16" by Phillip B. Payne and we would like to present part of it here for your consideration. You can get this article through the internet. In the conclusion, Mr. Payne says, "The structural logic of this passage makes perfect sense and all its vocabulary can be understood within its normal range of meaning once the "head coverings" are understood as wild hair, explained in verses 14.15. Men's effeminate hair symbolized homosexuality, and women's hair let down loose symbolized sexual freedom. Consequently, Paul prohibited those leading in worship from either practice. Men ought to respect both Christ, their source in creation, and women, their source in birth, by not displaying effeminate hair. Women ought to exercise control over their heads by wearing their hair up in public worship to symbolize fidelity in marriage and respect to man, their source in creation. The climax of the passage affirms that in Christ women and men are not separate. This implies their equal standing and privilege. Consequently, both men and women may pray and prophesy in church, but should do so in a way that does not undermine marriage."
"How should believers apply this passage today? The reason Paul objects to men in church leadership wearing effeminate hairstyles is its association with homosexuality and its repudiation of the Biblical distinction between man and woman. Manly long hairstyles today do not carry that association and message, so this passage should not be used to object to manly long hair today. Similarly, the majority of women today wear their hair down, and this practice is not associated with repudiation of sexual fidelity in marriage, so it would be a misuse of this passage to object to women wearing their hair down today. This passage could be properly applied today, however, against leaders in worship adopting any custom that symbolizes homosexuality or that undermines fidelity in marriage by being sexually suggestive. The message is, 'Don't use your freedom in Christ as an excuse to dress immodestly. In demeanor and word keep it clean!' Furthermore, men and women should show respect to each other, honoring the opposite sex as their source."
There is nothing in these passages that prohibit a man or a woman to cover their head during prayer or worship. This concerns the practice, in the time of Paul, of long hair hanging down on the head of a male, and the hair hanging down loose on a woman, and not done up on the head. It is recommended that you go to the full article by Mr. Payne to get more information.

I might mention too that I quit smoking about 7 months ago so I have various bad habits that I have to remain aware of and fight. I have been forcing myself to do some sort of exercise to take my mind off food and/or smoking.
Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone..
You aren't a failure because you recognized your feelings and posted. That is two successes...and the third success, not eating for emotional reasons is right there. You can do it, you are worth it...
We are addicted to food because it *works.* It is effective at soothing emotions, even if it's in a temporary and ultimately damaging way. Same as alcoholism or drug addiction. For me, I would feel a lovely safe comforted feeling when I ate too much food. It would make whatever unpleasant feeling go away, or at least cushion it quite a bit..
So no need to hate yourself - you found a strategy that WORKED. That's a success, really! Now you're taking a step back and looking at the larger picture. Sure, this is doing one thing, but it has side effects. I no longer choose to have these side effects. So, I need to learn new ways to handle my emotions, rather than stuff them with food.
That is hard work, learning a new way to handle emotions. HARD WORK. It sucked, quite a lot, and well, still sucks on an occasional basis. But I promise you - you CAN learn a new way, and you CAN stick to this diet to force yourself to learn..
Good for you for your awareness, and for reaching out for help instead of food. Looks to me like you're a rock star already!!!.
Big hugs,.
Thank you all for your support. I won't eat to soothe my emotional boo boos but I really need to find an alternative soon...I'm just not pleasant to be around times like this...
Go for a walk, paint your nails (hard to eat when nails are tacky), take a bath, read a book, etc...
You will figure something out. For me it is just changing whatever I'm doing right away when I feel like that. If it means just getting a drink of water, walking outside, playing a game of tetris (nerd, I know) whatever it takes, even if it's 2 minutes. I find that quickly switching tasks keeps my brain focused on something else. And never underestimate the power of dancing. Especially if you're terrible at it like me, crank your favorite guilty pleasure and go for it!..
Wow...I commend you. Stopping smoking while dieting is extremely difficult, in my opinion. I bought one of those electronic cigarettes when I started Medifast last Tuesday; but, that's not going too well. I am a "stress" eater as well. It's strange how some people lose weight under stress. I am the exact opposite; and my achilles hill is carbs, well "bread." OMG the restraint I had to muster up yesterday when I took my kids to Pizza Hut (promised them before I started medifast) was unbearable.
This is driving me nutts...
Therapy, yelling in your car, crying, journaling, meditation, prayer, talking out loud until you figure out what's bothering you, talking your feelings out with a friend..
CG's "distraction" suggestions are great for not eating. Then make sure to follow them up with doing the emotional work to get underneath the urge to eat. The more you learn about what makes you want to eat, the easier it is to handle that feeling instead of eat. Or change your life to remove the stressor! It's amazing what happens when we stop avoiding how we feel about our lives. Kind of powerful...
The thing that helps me is to have a schedule for when I eat my meals and to simply refuse to deviate. It makes me confront the fact that I can't let food be the answer to my problems..
We had a huge family uproar this week with a SIL who is having a breakdown. Apparently all caused by me although I live 500 miles away and see her once a year. Nobody seems to know what her real problems are but she seems fixated on me. There's no rational reason why and while I'm not getting any blame, I am getting a lot of attention I don't want or need. The pull to eat off-plan was amazing and historically I'd have drowned the problem in something from a bakery..
The refusal to deviate from the schedule made a huge difference and I had to just deal with the emotions rather than burying them. It makes you feel stronger every time you get past one of these situations...
I'm just in the middle of my second week, and haven't been doing any exercise. What do you guys do? Walking, Aerobics, Wii? I hate exercising alone. It's hard to stay motivated; but I'm thinking maybe the scale will move a little faster if I can at least do a little cardio daily...
You might consider starting a new thread with a totally different topic? That way we can stay focused here on the emotional eating issues for the original poster.....
Yeah...distractions have helped me. It is funny, if I am stressed, I lose weight. I lost almost twenty pounds dealing with a sick parent. But when I'm happy and life is good, I socialize more and eat out more, and the rest is history. Ugh. But I am a boredom eater...hence, the distractions have been key! That nail painting one is really the best for me!..
I knew someone who would whiten her teeth when she wanted to eat. You can't snack with those trays in your mouth!..
I ended up just curling up in the shower for 30 minutes and letting my frustration out, although I still don't know why I feel this way. I'm still pretty miserable at the moment, so I'm just going to go to sleep. :P Tomorrow's a new day and at least this weekend I have a huge impending pile of schoolwork...night everyone and thank you...
Breathe. You made it through this evening. Get a good night sleep and try to take some time in the morning to walk, stretch, pray, meditate...whatever. Yiu are worth it!..
Dont feel bad about it, I feel that way some days too, and well Im sure that ill have to deal with the rest of my life..I was like that..wasnt hungry but was just eating well because I was addicted to food and well thats why I bloomed up to 380! I never wanna be that way again and well just take one day at a time...some days are harder then others..and I am dealing witht hat now..
Wow Gigi! We have the same SIL! I went through the emotional rollercoaster last week, then everything came in to place this week. I have been doing a lot of spoken positive mantras: "I love myself, I choose healthy foods for my body. I love to exercise, I move with speed and agility" These help me a lot and say them often throughout the day. I think the fact that we care now about what we put into our lovely bodies shows our progress along the journey! The posts above are so great! We need to celebrate each step along the way...
I used to think I was a tough chick who didn't need to cry. Now I cry a lot. A lot. I'm trying to get over a guy and I'm journaling, crying, screaming... I'm just letting myself feel instead of eating to cover the feelings...
Dealing with emotion is the hardest part of all this for me. Having to sit and feel is much much harder than sitting and eating..
Good for you echosiren (and sassy and others) for choosing the harder, yet certainly more rewarding, path!..
Personally, for me, knowing that feeling (recognizing it) was a huge breakthrough. It sucks, yeah, but I was so NUMB before... Don't give in. There are a lot of ways to work through your feelings, as you've seen listed here already. But allow yourself to feel. For me, it was the first time I'd really felt anything in a long time..
Also, you need to change your ticker. 12 pounds in a month is AWESOME... nothing low or to be sad about, okay? Be proud of your success!..
Unfortunately, one thing that makes losing weight, or stopping drinking, etc., so hard is that you start to feel emotions that you had previously numbed with food or whatever. For one thing, they may be based on some trauma, and very intense, and for another, you are not used to feeling things to that degree, and it is painful. I think it is why sometimes people substitute one addiction with another. So, the healthy thing to do is to somehow work through all these, possibly with the aid of a therapist, and also learn to tolerate stronger emotional reactions. And, the flip side is, you will also be able to experience more intense joy.
Sometimes, though, I myself don't feel like dealing with any of my "issues," and so I deal with emotion-induced cravings by some not so harmful escapism, like taking a nap or reading a trashy novel (or both) This, of course, does not help with any underlying causes, but can be a short term stop-gap so that you can hopefully address those during your stronger periods.
Also, I find that making sure all my food is evenly spaced, and getting enough sleep gives more more strength to resist the cravings. In fact, my cravings and feelings of hopelessness, so far, have happened when I have been sleep-deprived...
May I join this thread? I am new to Medifast and know exactly why I am here. I am a stress eater, bread, pasta, and junk snacks are my addiction. I was caregiver for my husband the last 7 years (he passed in Jan 2010) and when stressed I could eat a whole baggett in a couple of hours, oh and lets not forget the real butter. I am now trying very hard to leave the past behind, and get on with my new life. That in it's self is stressfull. I am doing things for myself that I have never done before, like joining a bowing league, painting the inside of my home, and spending more week-ends with my sister. Focusing on myself is something I have never done, I keep telling myself this is my time, and to be healthy this is what I have to do...
You can join any thread you like, darling! And welcome to MF!..
My dear, you're defnly NOT alone. I feel the same way and I haven't even started. My food will arrive on the 28th, so I'm more than afraid. I'm terrified! Thanks for sharing..
Oh, M, ditto here! As a matter of fact I started getting obese when I quit smoking. I replaced the cigarrete for food and now like I said, I'm terrified! Glo..
Do something about why you're stressed. If you think it through and can't change the situation, it helps to admit that you don't have power to affect it and release it..
I had a horrible day yesterday, between work and personal life. Had plans to meet friends for a birthday celebration. I walked in feeling terrible and more terrible as it went on and was surrounded by alcohol and fried food and all sorts of treats. There was strong temptation to cheat, but I got to thinking that my health and self-respect are more important than the things in my life that are causing me stress. I did some things to change the problem at work and had a conversation with someone in my personal life, setting some boundaries, and I finished the day entirely on plan. I've got that stress hangover feeling today, but I'm proud of myself..
When you're in the moment that you want to eat emotionally, ask yourself why you want to eat, what you really want instead of food, and then do something about it!..
Perhaps try to think why you are trying to sabotage yourself. According to your ticker, you are so close to your lowest weight in 2 years. Are you afraid to allow yourself to succeed?..
Just wanted to update everyone. After yesterday, I was feeling pretty down. Today was better, except for having a fever and some tachycardia (who knows why, but...it isn't SO high that I need to rush off to the ER so don't worry haha).
I became upset with my fiance over basically nothing (him not having his phone on so he could meet me halfway when I forgot some important paperwork halfway to clinical ). But I soon forgot about that, and when I came home, there were about 10 post it's laying around in places I frequently venture with love notes on them. *sigh* Times like this I feel like I don't deserve the people in my life, but gosh darnit...I'm going to start working on the emotions that got me to where I am in the first place so I can healthy AND less cranky..
All your thoughts and advice have been really helpful. Oh, and I just had to sneak a peak before official weigh in tomorrow... Looking like a 3 lber week. Just might make that first goal of mine..*fingers crossed*..
I was seeing a therapist to learn about techniques to handle binge eating episodes and one tool he gave me is yogic breathing. It sounds kind of silly, but it really does help center me so I can figure out what I want or need to do..
Abdominal Breathing Technique.
Breathing exercises such as this one should be done twice a day or whenever you find your mind dwelling on upsetting thoughts or when you are experiencing pain..
* Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. When you take a deep breath in, the hand on the abdomen should rise higher than the one on the chest. This insures that the diaphragm is pulling air into the bases of the lungs..
* After exhaling through the mouth, take a slow deep breath in through your nose imagining that you are sucking in all the air in the room and hold it for a count of 7 (or as long as you are able, not exceeding 7).
* Slowly exhale through your mouth for a count of 8. As all the air is released with relaxation, gently contract your abdominal muscles to completely evacuate the remaining air from the lungs. It is important to remember that we deepen respirations not by inhaling more air but through completely exhaling it..
* Repeat the cycle four more times for a total of 5 deep breaths and try to breathe at a rate of one breath every 10 seconds (or 6 breaths per minute). At this rate our heart rate variability increases which has a positive effect on cardiac health..
Once you feel comfortable with the above technique, you may want to incorporate words that can enhance the exercise. Examples would be to say to yourself the word, relaxation (with inhalation) and stress or anger (with exhalation). The idea being to bring in the feeling/emotion you want with inhalation and release those you don't want with exhalation.
In general, exhalation should be twice as long as inhalation. The use of the hands on the chest and abdomen are only needed to help you train your breathing. Once you feel comfortable with your ability to breathe into the abdomen, they are no longer needed..
Abdominal breathing is just one of many breathing exercises. But it is the most important one to learn before exploring other techniques. The more it is practiced, the more natural it will become improving the body's internal rhythm..

Most people outside of the art world view art as something that is foreign to their experiences and everyday lives. In a new edition to The New Press People's History series, A People's Art History of the United States places art history squarely in the rough-and-tumble of politics, social struggles, and the fight for justice from the colonial era through the present day. In doing so, it presents a provocative and fascinating alternative art history that shows us how activist art often emerges from the streets and social movements – and communities that produced these movements – and exists far beyond the confines of traditional art institutions.
Combining historical sweep with detailed examinations of individual artists and their work, author and artist Nicolas Lampert offers a groundbreaking history of radical art. With over two hundred images, A People's Art History of the United States offers a politically charged narrative that spans the conquest of the Americas, the American Revolution, slavery and abolition, feminism, the civil rights movements, and the contemporary antiwar movement, among others.
Through dramatic retellings of important historical events, readers will be introduced to key works of American radical art, including the graphic agitation of the abolitionist movement, photographs of the Lower East Side housing conditions, the Haymarket monument controversy, the WPA-Federal Art Project, Gran Fury and ACT UP NYC, the Yes Men, and more. A People's Art History of the United States is nothing less than a vital alternative education for anyone interested in the powerful role that visual culture plays in our society – and in the ongoing culture of resistance.
"This is an important first volley in what I hope is an ongoing
fusillade of people's art histories. There are many more stories to
retell, here and abroad. Those relayed by Nicolas Lampert offer models
for an art that actively engages in and helps change the course of
history." —Lucy R. Lippard
"Historical amnesia is rampant in U.S. politics today, no less so in the visual arts, where the current wave of social practice art often suffers from a lack of awareness of what came before. This is an original piece of research, pointing us toward a vast territory of reconnection."—Suzanne Lacy, artist and writer, Otis College of Art and Design
"Inspired by the revisionist social histories of Howard Zinn, Nicolas
Lampert's A People's Art History of the United States is an inspiration
in itself. Looking beyond an art world framed by museums and markets,
Lampert surveys American activist cultures from the colonial era to the
present. His passion for social change and his optimism about creative
and constructive resistance come on strong in this well-written and
wonderfully illustrated book. Highly recommended." —Erika Doss, Professor of American Studies, University of Notre Dame
"As much as it is easy to say that there are many histories of art
that aren't those of the commercial system,the backing up of that
statement with counter-histories is no small task. Here we have a
tremendous contribution to a history of art that demonstrates how
critical culture is to the production of people's movements." – Nato Thompson, Chief Curator, Creative Time
"Written in accessible prose, Lampert's wonderful book is suitable for the university classroom or the union hall; the anarchist bookstore or bedtime reading for teenagers. When teaching on art and social justice at the university level, A People's History of Art in the United States has become the go-to book on the subject." – Dylan Miner, Associate Professor, Michigan State University and author of Creating Aztlán: Chicano Art, Indigenous Sovereignty, and Lowriding Across Turtle Island
"This book is an excellent jumping-off point for anyone unfamiliar
with the powerful social justice roots of American culture, offering
wonderful examples illustrating historical points along the timeline of
agitational American art. Lampert's credentials as an activist artist
give him an insider's view of this important yet marginalized subject.
It's an antidote to the conventional 'Art' model where form dominates
content and artistic creativity is reduced to marketable commodities." - Lincoln Cushing, author of All of Us or None: Social Justice Posters of the San Francisco Bay Area
"By introducing the significant role that artists have played throughout the history of the United States, Nicolas Lampert offers readers the delight of returning to a familiar narrative and discovering a fascinating reinterpretation. This well-wrought interdisciplinary text demonstrates that artists do not merely respond to and record the events transpiring in their lifetimes; they also shape these events by applying the tools of their profession to accomplish clearly articulated political agendas." — Linda Weintraub, author of Art on the Edge and Over: Searching for Art's Meaning in Contemporary Society
"A much welcome, fresh view of American political art." —Paul Buhle, editor of A People's History of American Empire
"In an image-based culture such as late-stage America capitalism,
political art is frequently deployed as a stand in for political
engagement itself, with little explanation of the social context that
drove the work into being. Nicolas Lampert gives us the stories behind
the potent images that have changed the way we think about ourselves,
which is the point in studying them in the first place." – Avram Finkelstein, ACT UP, NYC

Corvalen & CorvalenM New Product Label
We recently learned that Bioenergy is no longer selling these products directly to patients and have given up control of the distribution of these products to Douglas Laboratories. They have new packaging but this is still the same product as before when under Bioenergy. Corvalen Ribose and CorvalenM can still be purchased through health care practitioners or on the internet.

'Dragon Ball Super': Full body image of Goku in his perfect UI form unleashed
Will the perfect UI form of Son Goku enough to beat the overpowered Jiren in the Tournament of Power in 'Dragon Ball Super?'
Episode 129 of "Dragon Ball Super" is just a few days away. The hype about the much-awaited episode continues to build up as several details, videos, and images were recently leaked.
Aside from the bonus preview released by Toei Animation, the upcoming episode will feature the highly anticipated rematch between Jiren the Gray of Universe 11 and Son Goku of Universe 7. It was previously revealed that the fan-favorite Saiyan will master the Ultra-Instinct and will unleash his ultimate form. Interestingly, another image is recently leaked that made abuzz in the massive fandom of the anime.
New image
Fans of "Dragon Ball Super" are currently talking about the new image of Son Goku. Unlike the previous leaks, this time, the fan-favorite Saiyan is shown in his mastered Ultra-Instinct form in a full body shot. The Saiyan is seen with his hair and eyes tinted in silver. He is shirtless just like in the promotional image released at the start of the Tournament of Power. His chest is chiseled and he is wearing his orange pants. The latest image was uploaded to the social networking site, Twitter by Yonkou Productions.
The account is notorious in the fandom for uploading spoilers and leaked images revealing several details of the anime's upcoming episodes. The image came from the latest official pocket binder set of the popular game "Dragon Ball Heroes."
While the latest image is just a promotional art, it reveals how the upcoming fight between Jiren the Gray and Son Goku goes. It is worth noting that Goku perfects his godly form, there is a great chance that his power might get near or even surpass that of his opponent.
This is a really great take on the character designs for MUI. pic.twitter.com/ihzlK8B9z3— YonkouProductions (@YonkouProd) March 1, 2018
Other details
Episode 129 will most likely show fans Son Goku getting into a kind of fight that they have not yet seen. In the bonus preview, the fan-favorite Saiyan claims that Universe 11's Jiren the Gray is the strongest opponent he will ever face. In fact, Son Goku acknowledges that Jiren is much stronger than Vegeta, Cell, and even Majin Buu.
Will this ultimate form help Universe 7 in winning the Tournament of Power? Or will the overpowered Pride Trooper will defeat him and be the last fighter standing in the Wolrd of the Void? It is too early to give any conclusion at this moment.
However, it is safe to assume that the upcoming episode is going to be epic with the much-awaited fight looming on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Episode 129 of "Dragon Ball Super" is titled "Limits Super Surpassed, Ultra-Instinct mastered. It is scheduled to air on March 4.

Today at award shows, there are two types of hosts, the friendly, funny comedy (Carson, Crystal) or the edgy comedy (Stewart, Gervais). Both types of hosts have succeeded and been very funny, and have also bombed (Look at Chris Rock and James Franco).
Obviously, this argument applies to Eddie Murphy, whose comedy style has changed from the edgy days of Beverly Hills Cop to family flicks like Meet Dave. What made Murphy a star was his edgy comedy style, not the dopy humor of Imagine That.
Producer Brett Ratner promised audiences that the Oscars will have some laughs. But will the Academy risk taking Murphy? Last Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais had ticked off most off Hollywood, which led the Oscars to write "nice, friendly" material, which we all know how that went.
The Oscars number one fear is to be made fun of at there own faces. What Murphy does may be up to him.

Scheme presentation and more fun with Scala/Swing
I gave my lunch & learn presentation on Scheme Friday, and it went pretty well. I found that I had forgotten to correct one of my slide mistakes, but aside from that I felt good about it. I went through the basics of Scheme/Lisp syntax and talked through some examples, and then finished up with the prime factors kata in Scheme. It went almost twice as long as I'd expected, since we stopped several times to discuss and answer questions. I took suggestions on the kata as well, which also slowed things down, but I felt like it was a better way to teach the process of refactoring to an inner recursive function (in place of what would be a loop in an imperative language). Everyone seemed interested and I got some great advice afterwards. The biggest things were that I didn't always stand up (sometimes camping out in a chair) and that I kind of half-heartedly slapped a name on the presentation ("Scheme for Rubyists") with only a few references to Ruby (where I could have had comparable Ruby examples for all my Scheme code).
Here are my [corrected] slides, if you want to get the basic gist (unfortunately, the formatting doesn't translate perfectly to ppt file format – I used OpenOffice): Scheme Presentation
Friday afternoon and this weekend, I got a basic working version of Tic-Tac-Toe using Swing in Scala. I still have plenty to do: just as before, with Java Swing, I was basically spiking to learn the framework, and so there are some GUI tests missing. For now, I've put in TODO's for implementation code I don't have tests for; tomorrow I'll start commenting out those pieces of code and driving them test-first. I feel good about my board and player classes; Friday I implemented some in-memory caching to speed up the computer player's board-scoring computation. I still need to do some thinking about the technical article part of my apprenticeship challenges. I'm leaning towards something on functional programming, perhaps a few refactorings from imperative code to functional.
State machines and scala.swing
After some morning refactoring on my Scala Tic-Tac-Toe (including moving my computer player's minimax algorithm to a completely functional style) and speed tweaks, I moved on to thinking about how to integrate a GUI. Micah's told me it's not a requirement, but I'd like to have another crack at GUI development – I was very slow thinking things through in Java. Micah and I had talked yesterday about the possibility of a state machine to hold the game state so that my other application logic didn't need to concern itself with whose turn it was. I have mixed feelings about it: on the one hand, state is what I'm trying to avoid in my functional programming study, but on the other, it's apparently a very widely applicable design pattern that I ought to learn anyway.
At any rate, I spent the morning and most of the afternoon looking into SMC, the state machine compiler. Apparently there are numerous different ones (all named SMC) floating around on the internet. I believe all of them started with Uncle Bob's idea, and the one I'm using does give him credit on the website. It's really like stepping into a second new language (DSL) writing state tables for the state machine compiler. I'm sure that the benefits will outweigh the time I needed to spend reading the documentation.
At the end of the workday, I fooled around with Scala's Swing library (a wrapper for Java Swing). There are still some Javadocs I needed to dig into to understand what I was doing, but I was able to pick up the syntax pretty quickly. I have to say, Scala really does seem to be Java++. The Java libraries are still super-easy to grab, and the syntax is similar enough that it feels closer than it did with JRuby. The advantages I do see to Java are a familiar syntax and proliferation of tools, especially IDE support for refactoring – Scala's IntelliJ plugin is good and has a few refactorings, but it has plenty of room for growth.
I spent some time tonight going back over my slides for tomorrow's Lunch & Learn ("Scheme for Rubyists"), going through the presentation once for my wife and our dogs. I found a couple of outright mistakes and several extra points I needed to make, so it was good practice. I also went through a kata in Scheme that I'll do tomorrow for the group if we have time. Wish me luck!
Hacking up a storm: Scala takes to the command line
Today was a bit slow going, but I was in a pretty good state of mind, and Scala was feeling a little better. At some point something started to click a little bit on the micro level for functional programming, and I mentioned that I thought functional programming would make testing easier. But when I tried to explain it to Micah, I realized that the problems I had been having with testing in my normal imperative loop were more due to the fact that I hadn't really thought out what I needed to test in that loop. In fact, my problems were cleared up pretty easily with mocks (hand-rolled — I'm not sure if there's a mocking library for Scala or not).
Tonight I hacked out the minimax algorithm and have a working (albeit slow) computer player on the console. I got a little stuck a few times, but I remembered that the breakthrough last time (in Java) was to slooooow dowwwwn and make sure I understood precisely for WHOM I was calculating the score for a given board.
I did some Pomodoros when I got home: 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off. I ended up alternating between coding and reading this Programming in Scala book during my "on" sessions, but eventually I got so involved in the minimax problem that I forgot about the timer and just kept going (much to my wife's chagrin).
I did a few rounds of Scheme code kata as well, in preparation for my Lunch & Learn talk on Friday. I'm realizing as I practice these more that there are a few more topics I need to introduce in the slides portion of the presentation in order to have the kata make sense; probably will get to that tomorrow.
Hooray for progress! Now I have lots of refactoring and GUI code to look forward to.
Language unfamiliarity and design decisions breed frustration
Today was all Scala, all the time. I came in thinking that I knew my stuff after my refactoring discoveries yesterday, but I quickly took a detour into Frustration-Land as I hacked away on Tic-Tac-Toe.
I struggled with some design decisions, as I wanted to do things from scratch and avoid too many parallels with my Java version. These problems I can't really blame on my noob-ness with the language; I'm just trying to shift my paradigm to a more functional style. I don't know yet if I'll be implementing a GUI for my Scala version (apparently there's a way I can hook into Swing), but I'm trying to think ahead, since I had lots of issues when moving my Java version from console to GUI. I'm debating whether to have my Player classes (driven by my Game class) waiting for input from my event listeners – I got the impression that this design (which I used in Java) was kind of unorthodox – or if I should instead have the application flow driven more by the events. I'm leaning in that direction, but need to do some more whiteboarding and reading. I did quite a bit of reading on and practice with the Actor model to see if I might be able to apply it to GUI event and game messages, but I'm concerned it might be an extra layer of complexity that's unneeded.
My woes with Scala were basically due to me not knowing the libraries, and that will definitely come with time. I bought a book last night: Programming in Scala by Martin Odersky (the language creator), Lex Spoon, and Bill Venners. I'd checked out a bit of Dean Wampler and Alex Payne's online book draft, which is great, but I just like having paper – I stare at the laptop enough during the day.
When I moaned that I had been a little frustrated today with my (lack of) progress on Tic-Tac-Toe, Micah pointed out tactfully that I had kind of jumped into things before really learning much of the language. It's true – I felt like I needed to be constantly writing tests and typing code today, but what I should probably have done is take a step back and spend some time learning the language: reading, code kata, and typing examples from the book. I've spent some time tonight catching up on the language, and I'm going to continue some practicing now. There's a lot to be said for applying a brand-new language (and paradigm) to a problem, but the less familiar the language, the more work I need to do before I feel comfortable in an actual project.
After Caleb and I finished setting up a Slicehost account for a site we'd worked on, Micah met with me to talk about my apprenticeship challenges. I have three major projects to complete by the end of next week: a presentation at this coming Friday's Lunch & Learn, an article on something I'd learned recently as part of my apprenticeship (more formal and expert-level than posts on this blog), and another version of Tic-Tac-Toe, this time in a language I'd never used before. After a bit of waffling on my part among Clojure, C++, Objective-C, and Scala, I finally settled on Scala.
I'd attended Dean Wampler's excellent talk at this past weekend's Chicago Code Camp, so I had some basic syntax knowledge coming in, and there are a lot of similarities to Java. But I thought I should spend some time getting a decent handle on the basics of the language before diving into Tic-Tac-Toe. I discovered what looks like the best test framework for Scala: ScalaTest. It's pretty nifty, allowing several styles of testing, including one that looks suspiciously like RSpec. There's also an IntelliJ plugin for Scala, which works well. Since I'm still getting the hang of all of IntelliJ's features and options, it did take me awhile to get the IDE set up to run tests and write code, but by the end of the afternoon, I had my first failing test.
Things were pretty slow going since I was having to look up basic syntax at first, but I'm already seeing some really cool things in Scala. For one thing, I can mix functional and object-oriented ideas in the same program. It's hard for me to think about things like a Board outside of an object-oriented space, which makes Scheme difficult for me (so far), but Scala deals with classes and objects without problems. My first implementation code (on the board class) looked basically like Java with a weird syntax and a fancy & functional map method:
def full: Boolean = {
positions.map((position:String) =>
if(position == null)
return false
return true
And I thought this was pretty concise, so I was fairly proud. But I did some reading later this evening, and now I'm really psyched about the refactoring Scala allowed me to do:
def full: Boolean = {
!positions.exists(_ == null)
This seems more like Ruby, but with a really beefed-up version of the Symbol#to_proc syntax that we get with Rails (1.1+) or Ruby 1.9. Nice, right?

The Barricade features the highly durable and impact resistant exterior, while the polished look of the stainless steel grill offers a timeless appeal and rugged performance. Additionally, it's important to note that the Barricade is entirely waterproof (IPX7 rated, yo) and can be submerged up to three feet, only to float to the surface of the water completely unscathed.
That being said, the Barricade isn't just a burly little piece of equipment. It also offers a premium sound experience, maintaining dynamic performance regardless of what kind of music you're listening to. The Barricade is Bluetooth compatible, so you're able to cruise around and listen to your tunes up to 33-feet away (without the connection getting frazzled). Not to mention, the 10-hour battery life is awfully convenient, though the Barricade can be recharged quite easily via the USB port. Additional auxiliary ports enhance the Barricade's overall convenience, and the built-in remote and microphone allow you to answer calls, change the volume, and manage music in stride.

The Greek dystopia III
The main instrument which we take a photograph with, is our being, our state of mind, our memories, our culture and last but not least, our mental reaction to the world surrounding us.
And the world around us is changing fast and, unfortunately, instead of rising to higher spheres of compassion and solidarity, it is eating its children and ultimately itself.
And whether we want it or not, every photograph is a political statement made by the "political animal/ζῷον πoλιτικόν" which the photographer is by excellence (in doubting, but at the same time cementing, the society).
These extremely powerful images are not seeking pity or anger, they are just melancholic, sad, then full of hope, then sad again, then sad again in their joy, then restless in their capitulation, surrendering their souls only to the worthy and the brave, and never to the loathsome (photos by Gina Maragkoudaki)
What is?
The Bulb Collective consists of photographers active in urban (and rural) photography with an expressive shift to include highly aesthetic and poetic images in their assignments.
