Vishnu (Sanskrit विष्णु Viṣṇu) is the Supreme God in the Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism. Smarta followers of Adi Shankara, among others, venerate Vishnu as one of the five primary forms of God.
The Vishnu Sahasranama declares Vishnu as Paramatma (supreme soul) and Parameshwara (supreme God). It describes Vishnu as the All-Pervading essence of all beings, the master of—and beyond—the past, present and future, the creator and destroyer of all existences, one who supports, sustains and governs the Universe and originates and develops all elements within. Vishnu governs the aspect of preservation and sustenance of the universe, so he is called 'Preserver of the universe'.
In the Puranas, Vishnu is described as having the divine colour of water filled clouds, four-armed, holding a lotus, mace, conch (shankha) and chakra (wheel). Vishnu is also described in the Bhagavad Gita as having a 'Universal Form' (Vishvarupa) which is beyond the ordinary limits of human perception or imagination.
The Puranabharti also describes each of thee Dasavatara of Vishnu. Among these ten principal avatara described, nine have occurred in the past and one will take place in the future, at the end of Kali Yuga. In the commentary of creator Brahma in Vishnu Sahasranamam, he refers to Vishnu as "Sahasrakoti Yuga Dharine", which means that these incarnations take place in all Yugas in cosmic scales,the avatars and their stories show that god is indeed unimaginable,unthinkable and unbelievable. The Bhagavad Gita mentions their purpose as being to rejuvenate Dharma and vanquish negative forces,the forces of evil that threaten Dharmma, as also to display His divine nature in front of the conditioned/fallen souls. In almost all Hindu denominations, Vishnu is either worshiped directly or in the form of his ten avatara,most famous of whom are Rama and Krishna.
The Trimurti (English: 'three forms'; Sanskrit: trimūrti) is a concept in Hinduism "in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the maintainer or preserver, and Shiva the destroyer or transformer."These three deities have been called "the Hindu triad" or the "Great Trinity". Of the three members of the Trimurti, the Bhagavata Purana, which espouses the Vaishnavite viewpoint, explains that the greatest benefit can be had from Vishnu.

Puppy Nipping
Dogs explore the world around them with their mouths. It is typical for puppies to bite their owners during playful interactions. However, it is important to stop this behavior as soon as you can, and to never reward this behavior with more play. You may think your 8 week-old puppy is adorable as it chews on your fingers, but as he grows and gets stronger, this will become a problem behavior. It is also important to note if your puppy is biting as an act of aggression, to consult a trainer as soon as possible.
Puppies learn bite inhibition from their littermates, which teaches them to control the strength of their bites. Hard bites during play cause their littermate to yelp and stop playing. When your puppy gets home, continue with this training. If your puppy bites, yelp and immediately stop playing. You can leave the room or just 'turn off'. Try not to yank your hand back because some puppies will see that as playful and try to catch your hand. The same idea goes for a smack to the nose – this will just encourage your puppy to think your hand is a toy. Many puppies respond well to yelping since it is a communication cue they are familiar with. Cease play for 1-2 minutes. Repeat this every time your puppy bites you and soon he will learn that no one wants to play with a biter!
Make sure to provide your puppy plenty of opportunities to use their mouth appropriately. Provide plenty of toys in a variety of textures. Teach him games such as fetch, or fill a Kong toy with food and encourage them to chew on it to earn their meals. Basic training can also help curb your puppy's biting. The cue, 'leave it', is good for teaching impulse control. 'Touch' teaches your puppy that a nose to the hand is encouraged but teeth are not. If your puppy is particularly bad with nipping, use bitter apple spray on your hands.
Puppy Temper Tantrums
We discussed what to do if your puppy is biting you during play, but what do you do if your puppy bites you out of anger? Just like human children, puppies can throw temper tantrums. This happens most often when you are preventing your puppy from doing something fun. Maybe you are holding your puppy on your lap while he wants to play, or you are clipping his nails, or giving a bath. In this situation, do not yelp or let go of your puppy. Your puppy wants you to let him go. You do not want to teach him that biting gets him what he wants. If your puppy bites you in this situation or throws a squirmy tantrum, remain calm and unresponsive. It is best to wait until your puppy settles down for a couple of seconds and then release. Keep in mind what that situation was that caused your puppy to have a tantrum and bite, and then continue practicing and rewarding your puppy for good behaviors during handling.

This week is Poison Prevention Week!!
Every day this week we will be posting about common household items that you should be aware of so you can help protect your adorable canine companion!!
First up: MOTHBALLS.
Toxicity: Generally moderate to severe, life-threatening.
Mothballs are pesticides that slowly release a gas vapor to kill and repel moths (and their larvae) and other insects. The chemicals in mothballs can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or absorbed through the stomach and intestines. Cats are more sensitive to the toxic effects of mothballs, but dogs are more likely to ingest mothballs. BEWARE.
Poison Prevention: 4 LEAF CLOVERS- Might not be so lucky!
Toxicity: Toxic to dogs, Toxic to Cats, Toxic to Horses
Clinical Signs: All parts of the plant have toxic potential, although the possibility of serious effects is usually limited to ingestion's of large quantities. Consuming Oxalis species can produce colic in horses, and kidney failure is possible if significant amounts are eaten.
Poison Prevention: HAND SANITIZER (Ethanol)
Toxicity: Generally mild to moderate
Like other types of alcohol poisoning, large ingestions of hand sanitizer can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar, blood pressure and body temperature, resulting in clinical signs of weakness, lethargy, vomiting, collapsing, hypothermia, weak respiration, coma, and rarely death.
Don't leave your sanitizer out!
Poison Prevention: IBUPROFIN
Toxicity: Generally moderate to severe, life threatening
When pets ingest small doses of an NSAID, it can result in severe stomach ulcers, causing signs of vomiting, bloody vomitus, diarrhea, black-tarry stool, weakness, pale gums (anemia), abdominal pain, lethargy, and loss of appetite. With larger ingestions, halitosis, kidney failure, liver failure and neurological problems (e.g., tremors, seizures) can develop.
Don't let your canine's paws get a hold of these pills!
Poison Prevention: FERTILIZER.
Toxicity: Generally mild to moderate, depending on the amount ingested and concentration of the product
Most fertilizers contain various amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They may also contain iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, boron, manganese and molybdenum, some of which may be toxic in large concentrations. (If we can't pronounce it, we DEFINITELY don't want them ingesting it!) Fertilizers may also contain herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides which increases the risk of poisoning. While small ingestions of fertilizer may only result in mild stomach upset, larger ingestions can result in severe poisoning from the iron, nitrogen and other chemicals. Large ingestions of meal-based fertilizers may also form a concretion in the stomach resulting in a bowel obstruction or severe and painful inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).

Teddy began coming to daycare when he was a big fluff ball of a pup at just four months old. All the staff immediately fell in love with his good looks and goofy personality! True to his breed, there was nothing little about him! He towered over most of his friends and had a hard time fitting comfortably into our regular sized crates for nap time. Often times he didn't realize how big he actually was and he liked to sit on his friends, or ended up knocking them over while trying to play. Did I also mention that Teddy LOVES water? After a hard morning of playing, he can usually be found around the water buckets trying to make an indoor swimming pool. He enjoys cooling off by dunking his head in, grabbing mouthfuls, and proceeding to dump the water all over the floor so he can lay in it! In his younger days he was even able to get a paw or two in the bucket and dig the water out, but not anymore now that he's grown! His water bucket antics make for some very funny pictures and one very wet dog!
After a short hiatus from daycare until he could be neutered, Teddy came back, and brought with him a little sister in tow! His new little sister, Ellie, adores and looks up to him and he is so gentle with her! He lays on his back and lets her climb all over him, never getting impatient with her! He has done a great job of showing Ellie the ropes at daycare and has set a good example for her on how to behave nicely with the other dogs. Teddy truly is a gentle giant and never fails to win over even the most hardened of hearts with his charms! He certainly is a favorite among the staff and other dogs at daycare

Shattered Globe Theatre
at the Project
Count Oederland, by Swiss writer Max Frisch, is a wonderfully contradictory parable, epic in structure and vaguely expressionistic, mingling fantasy with reality and brutality with sweetness. It's a darkly updated Don Quixote, the tale of a consummately respectable man driven mad by societal correctness and spurred by the actions of a psychotic murderer to lead a brutal and strangely whimsical overthrow of the government.
Although many critics have called Count Oederland, written in 1951, one of Frisch's least successful works, Frisch himself referred to it as his greatest work. It certainly remains timely; in our culture mass murderers become media icons, movies rely increasingly on fantastical heroes, and David Lynch and the Coen brothers thrive on their own brands of brutal whimsy.
The opening and closing scenes of Count Oederland take place in the study of Martin, a public prosecutor. Martin has spent his life in overwork and fastidious devotion to order. He is suddenly confronted with a case that disturbs him to his core: that of a quiet man, a good tenant and a hard worker, who killed his coworker with an ax. The world is mystified by the killing, but Martin understands the frustration, boredom, and numbness that daily life wreaks and that could lead to such a murder. He wonders, in fact, why more people don't pick up axes.
When an oddly fairylike servant girl comes in to tend the fire, the fantastical element of the story kicks into high gear and the adventure is under way. During the story we meet the prosecutor's unfaithful wife, her lover Dr. Hahn, the original ax murderer, his lover (the victim's wife), government officials, scores of lower-class characters, and a woman who changes names and identities but whose face remains that of the servant girl.
Our hero, the prosecutor, begins to believe he's the legendary Count Oederland of folktale, who goes around the world with an ax and strikes down those who oppose him. But things get out of control when he develops thousands of followers, who wear the sign of the ax, and fantasy turns into nightmare when they overthrow the government and establish a new order as rigid as the one they replaced. Frisch ends the play ambiguously--did the prosecutor truly snap, or is he just dreaming in his study?
Frisch's play is interesting enough to make the evening enjoyable, but Shattered Globe's production is hopelessly inconsistent. Director Adam Langer has cast a group of actors with wildly divergent skills. He also does some confusing things with location: slide projections indicate that the setting is Chicago, but the actors talk about villages and forests that are far too rustic to be in this area. Leigh Horsley's costumes fluctuate between modern citywear and European peasant clothes, and there are even a few foreign accents thrown in. In an apparent effort to show the play's universality, Jeffrey Shivar's original music contains an inordinately wide range of styles, from synthesized Wagnerian symphonies to 1960s Burt Bacharach-like ditties to Baroque harpsichord music.
Langer's staging is often stagnant and uncomfortable on Eric Wegener's spare, cramped stage, crowded by a center-stage projection screen that gets little use. The characters do a lot of cigar smoking, and the air in the small space gets a bit thick by the end of the show.
Performances range from the superb to the dismal. Joe Forbrich is the strongest of the group as Martin; he goes from overworked civil servant to obsessed mythical hero with only a subtle change in bearing and demeanor while maintaining the essence of Martin. As the conniving lovers Dr. Hahn and Elsa (Martin's wife), Charlie Mitchell and Rebecca Jordan work well together, in a partnership reminiscent of Charles Grodin and Dyan Cannon in Heaven Can Wait.

"No Name" From My Nutshell--Why I'm Writing This Story
I am nearly 3,000 miles away from home. I get homesick and I have all these crazy stories about back home that pop in my head. Some are good, some are ridiculous, some are shareable. Those I want to share are ending up here in this book, "No Name." Then I started reading a very powerful book about a 10 year old girl hooked on heroin named "Milk-Blood" by Mark Matthews, and it really hit me. I have a story like that, but it's true and it's mine and it's time to tell it.Read More

Stellar. Absolutely brilliant, MathMan. I will read it again a few times and possibly feel confident enough to voice an opinion. Stay tuned.ReplyDelete
Too kind, but over-generous. My son may have nailed it with his wild-eyed mystics. The latter I may claim to be. The former, not.Delete
Very good! An excellent post. I find all this string theory stuff to be too fantastical as well - far too much mathematics than is good for anyone and far too clever to be true. This from Annie Dillard: "For some reason, it has not yet trickled down to the man in the street that some physicists now are a bunch of wild-eyed, raving mystics. For they have perfected their instruments and methods just enough to whisk away the crucial veil, and what stands revealed is the Cheshire cat's grin."ReplyDelete
Ben, thanks. I'm inclined to think that the cat isn't grinning at all. Much like Schrodinger's, it waits for the closing of the cupboard door in a state either of mortal terror or craven embarrassment, since it, too, is quite unaware of the outcome.ReplyDelete

The declaration - typically from an adolescent family member - purses the lips of parents hopeful the child's future would be more about picket fences and 2.1 offspring than hit songs and hedonistic excess. ■ But that's not how it was with family of one singer/ songwriter/producer. ■ Hoping his son would pursue his musical dreams, Steven Arena not only encouraged his eldest son, Chris, to make a living by playing music, he unabashedly offered a bribe in the form of a six-stringed family heirloom. Used for years by Chris' grandfather, New York jazzer Joseph Arena, the '59 Les Paul Standard is one of very few finished by Gibson in black instead of the sunburst the company used to show off the figured-maple tops used on the model from 1958 through 1960 (another Standard finished in black was profiled in the December '14 issue of VG).

During my trip to Washington D.C. this spring, I attended the IS&T Archiving conference in conjunction with visiting two Smithsonian archives. A representative from our department had attended this event in the past, and it's been on my radar for several years. It was a good opportunity to learn about the trajectory of cultural heritage imaging and archiving on a larger, international scale.
This conference led me to consider my career path and hopes for the future, especially as it pertains to information professions. I originally became interested in the field of cultural heritage imaging as a result of my background in photography. Internships in two museums during college opened my eyes to the world of archival and museum work, especially as it pertained to making historic materials accessible. Digitization has been the focus of my career so far, having worked in three different museums and libraries in this capacity. After taking over some archives duties in my current position, I've realized how much I enjoy this related, yet different side of making materials accessible. It's become clear to me that digital capture is just one aspect of access, archival practice is necessary in order to make data findable, and to preserve this data. I was pleased that the IS&T Archiving conference covered the full gamut of my interests: from digitization to quality control, workflows, metadata, standards, and information management.
While much of the conference focused on the hows of doing the work, the end goal of access and preservation was evident in all the presentations. The keynote was a prime example of this focus on use: the Montreaux Jazz Festival Digital Project in Switzerland was conceived first as a means of preserving unique, culturally important audio recordings, and it evolved into an effort rich in dynamic programming. The collaborative project has resulted pop-up exhibits and experiences utilizing archival footage during the annual jazz festival. The project faces the challenge of complicated rights issues, but staff have found a creative solution in the form of a custom-built cafe for researchers, students, and enthusiasts to interact with the collection.
A presentation by staff at the U.S. Library of Congress was another excellent instance of technology serving end users in making archival material accessible. The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped within the Library of Congress has been digitizing its Braille music collection for preservation, given the often fragile and rare nature of the material, to maximize space on circulating shelves, and to better serve patrons. Given the fact that this branch serves citizens across the country, digital access has become the preferred method of disseminating music scores. The presenters reviewed their research in the various hardware and software used to effectively capture and output files which accurately capture the original. There is still much that could be improved in the existing technology, library staff made it clear that the challenges in digitization are worth it given the educational value they provide for the community.
The project manager of the Robert F. Smith Fund at the National Museum of African American History and Culture discussed the incredible collaboration between cultural heritage institution and community via their archival projects. Their community curation, professional curation, professional development, and Explore Your Family History Center all connect individuals with history. Staff have organized community digitization projects, which allows folks to learn about best practices for storing materials and digitally archive their ephemera and family photographs. Through professional curation and fellowship and internship opportunities, agency over representation and narratives can be retained within the community. And the Family History Center allows for information professionals to guide genealogical research. The presenter relayed stories about the unexpected social interaction that happens in this space, as long-lost family members have connected as a result of their findings. The work being done as a result of the Robert F. Smith Fund is a prime example of the multitude of ways in which cultural heritage institutions can create value for their patrons and community.
There were several sessions that focused on 3D capture of historic objects and sites, and the value of documenting our changing world. This is one emerging side of cultural heritage digitization which shows incredible promise in capturing our collective, global cultural patrimony. Historic sites at risk due to political or economic instability, disaster and climate change can now be captured with a high degree of detail and accuracy. While these captures are no replacement for the originals, their use and distribution can help foster a sense of urgency to preserve these sites and it can help individuals across the world learn in a tactile way about these histories. It was heartening to hear a call for a review of file formats, metadata schema, digital preservation and an overall strategy for dealing with 3D capture. There aren't currently any standards, so this is a crucial concern. After all, long-term access of this data will only be assured if information professionals turn their attention to effectively archiving these materials.
One presentation out of Finland, and another out of South Korea also pointed to searchability of digitized archival material as key as it pertains to access. The Digitalia Research Center has been working to create systems which will accurately and efficiently perform OCR on a variety of typeset and handwritten materials, in a variety of languages. In addition, their solutions are able to analyze the resulting data to determine keywords for processed materials. The research done in the audio archives of the National Archives of Korea reveals the value of speech recognition technology. Though manual intervention is often necessary with automated processes like this one, deep learning is being implemented on an experimental basis in an attempt to improve efficiency and accuracy. Both these automation projects underscore the value of cost-effective technologies that will provide improved access via search, and which will keep up with the incredible volume of archival materials we create.
A poster about the Echoes project, based out of the Netherlands, caught my interest as it pertains to cooperation and collaboration across institutions and countries. This effort is attempting to link data, and thus archival collections, through one unified system. Based on the Europeana portal of digital collections that pulls together cultural heritage material from scores of institutions across the continent, this system goes one step further to connecting collections across the globe. Through careful crosswalking of metadata, museums, archives, and libraries can add to a growing web of information. The data is transformed to LOD/RDF triples, and users can query or use maps as search interfaces (Netiv and Hasselo, 2018). Projects like this one point to the larger trend of linked data, and the necessity of international collaboration. It is easy to become overwhelmed by options when searching for or browsing information as a result of the sheer number of search engines and information portals. Consolidation of data, and enrichment from making connections is key to help cut down on information overload.
I left the conference considering how we might improve our processes and standards within the digitization program at our museum. This has yielded helpful conversations about progress and improvements, that should help to ensure we are producing accurate documentation of our collections for archival purposes. Beyond these implications, I keep reflecting on the presentations in relation to the value of archives. The physical materials and their digital surrogates have value when they are accessed. Access depends on preservation, searchability, and connections. This is where archivists come into play - they help to transform sheets of paper and digital files. Given the scope of impact within each of these projects presented during the conference, it's crystallized in my mind the role information professionals play in connecting individuals, communities, and societies to unique, historical content.

Jump To Your New Self
I believe Dr. Joe Dispenza when he says "We have to change our personality in order to create a new personal reality". We DO have to become someone new in order to change.
ow do we become someone new if we're dissatisfied with our present self? First we have to move from a Newtonian model of reality that says the outer world shapes our inner world, to a Quantum model which states our inner world reflects our outer world. Our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and choices DO reflect our health, finances and relationships, and ultimately, who we are.
Personally, I was a victim of my circumstances. Widowed at 30 years old with a son who was diagnosed with a condition no one could seem to cure, I bathed in self-pity. Out of desperation I jumped from the Newtonian model to the Quantum model of reality and took 100% responsibility for my own situation. I decided to become a victor rather than a victim. I threw away the rearview mirror and thanked the Universe for all its gifts. I jumped from my old self to my new self, determined to live in a state of love and gratitude. I cast away self-pity. I blessed everything and everyone. Not only did my personality change but my personal reality changed and my new life no longer resembled my old life.
If you really want to change, can you get up every morning and choose to become the greatest version of you? Can you choose to stay in love with yourself and others? Can you contribute to the world without keeping score? Yes, you can. And once you set yourself on a course to become the very best person you can be, you'll be amazed at how much more fulfilling your life becomes, not only in your own heart, but in the hearts and minds of everyone around you.
Please feel free to comment and share. Thank you.

Developing the capability of the health visiting workforce to offer early relationship support: a policy briefing from the Relationships Alliance. (Click here to download the PDF file)
As a universal service, health visiting enjoys a unique position in regard to its potential to affect the life course and life chances of babies and young children.
It is natural therefore that what health visitors do should be the subject of regular debate; indeed, as recently as 2011 the Government introduced a new health visiting implementation plan which set out a revised structure and roles for the profession (Department of Health, 2011).
While the Healthy Child Programme (DCSF/DH, 2009), led by health visitors, contains a major focus on parenting support (including 'supporting strong couple relationships and stable positive relationships within families'), there is little evidence to suggest that such an approach has become central to current health visitor practice. Indeed, a major literature review (Cowley, 2013) commissioned to support the Health Visiting Implementation Plan 2011-15 found only 'a collection of disparate studies that vary in methodology and quality with little conclusive evidence of service outcomes' relating to support for parents, and does not even cover the topic of parental relationship support as a core task of health visiting. This is worrying, given research showing that couples going through this transition of becoming a new parent are at risk of decreased relationship satisfaction (Mitnick et al., 2009)
The impact of poor parental relationship quality and conflict on babies and young children
The research evidence on the impact of couple conflict (Coleman, 2010) (TCCR, 2011) (Harold and Leve, 2012) tells us that conflict which is frequent, intense and poorly resolved is very harmful, and that this kind of conflict can have an effect on children of all ages. Babies as young as six months, for example, exhibit higher physiological symptoms of distress such as elevated heart rate in response to overt, hostile exchanges between their parents when compared to exchanges between non-parental adults. Infants and children up to the age of five years show signs of distress by crying, acting out, freezing, as well as withdrawing from or attempting to intervene in the actual conflict itself.
The ambition therefore to develop the practice of key frontline professions – such as health visitors and children's centre workers – such that it better incorporates a couple dimension stems therefore from a desire by policy-makers and practitioners to respond to this evidence by identifying opportune ways to strengthen couple and family relationships, and thereby reduce the exposure to, and impact of, such couple distress and conflict (Coleman, 2010).
The earlier we can intervene to support the quality of the parental couple relationship, the better our chances of reducing babies' and young children's exposure to potentially harmful levels and types of couple distress and conflict, as well as of reducing the incidence of postnatal depression in one or both partners (being a factor associated with poorer children's outcomes) (Murray, 1996). Moreover, the fact that research suggests that poor parental relationship quality, and parental
relationship conflict, are associated with the development of insecure attachment between infants and parents lends further weight to the notion that services should be aiming to intervene as early as possible to support the parental couple relationship (TCCR, 2012); improvements in relationships are more probable if these solutions are considered and implemented at an early stage (Feinberg et al., 2010; Halford et al., 2010; Schulz et al., 2006; Shapiro & Gottman, 2005).
Overview of evidence supporting the addition of a couple dimension to health visiting practice
Research investigating the impact of adding a couple dimension or focus to the practice of health visiting has been scarce (though one notable exception will be explored below); however, a number of studies have explored the effects of couple-focused work by other frontline practitioner groups on the relationship quality and functioning of couples experiencing the transition to parenthood.
For example, the Becoming a Family Project, a longitudinal study in the U.S. of partners becoming parents for the first time, followed families from late pregnancy until their child completed the first year of elementary school (Cowan & Cowan, 2000). The authors of this study found that the relationship quality of those couples expecting a first child who were randomly assigned to a couples group meeting weekly for six months led by clinically trained male-female teams was maintained over a period of 5-1/2 years, as opposed to the relationship quality of couples in the control/ no-treatment arm of the study, whose marital satisfaction declined over time.
In the UK, findings were published in 2010 from a project designed to maximize the effectiveness of parenting support to vulnerable families (through sensitizing the workforce of a community-based adult mental health agency to take account of the parental couple in providing postnatal support groups, parenting workshops and relationship counselling). Evaluating outcomes from these services suggests that a couple orientation adds significant value to the effectiveness of parenting support with "all three of the evaluated services [being able to] claim to have reduced the risk of depression among the mothers who used them" (Clulow, 2010). As the authors of this study state: "The importance of the relationship between parents is frequently underestimated by those designing and developing services to support parents in bringing up their children".
A recent randomised contolled trial found that a relationship support training programme (Brief encounters®) for frontline practitioners working with families had a large and positive impact on the way practitioners handled conversations with parents about their relationship difficulties, in using more appropriate techniques such as listening and summarising. Practitioners in the intervention group were also more than twice as likely as those in the control group to be confident in knowing both where and how to refer parents on for further support. The training also increased the likelihood of offering equivalent support in the future. These positive outcomes were experienced across the sample, irrespective of people's prior years of working in the arena of children and families and their level of confidence in dealing with such matters (Coleman, 2013).
While children's centre workers were the main recipient of the training in this study (albeit some health visitors and student health visitors also received the training), the authors suggest "there are of course other professional groups who may benefit from this training such as midwives and health visitors". Given the "well documented barriers to more formal, more professional avenues for relationship support (not least cost), and the fact that such support is often taken at a late point in time or as a last resort", this study, the authors argue, points to the potential for "training the relational capability of the wider family support workforce, and to the importance of providing early preventative relationship support through a means that is arguably of greater acceptability and accessibility compared to more professional sources" (Coleman, 2013).
This view is supported by findings from a study of the effects of training health visitors on the Brief Encounters course which also underpinned the approach studied by Coleman et al. (see previous paragraph) (Simons, 2003). Brief Encounters is a training programme aimed at frontline staff who are 'turned to' by clients regarding relationship problems and which aims to give them greater confidence to listen without becoming overwhelmed, and to offer effective support and make a referral where necessary. The Simons study also looked at the quality of the parents' relationship during the postnatal period and the value of support provided by health visitors in cases of discord.
Evidence obtained from 450 mothers seen by health visitors based at nine clinics in an outer London borough found that attendance by the health visitors at a four-day training course for health visitors enabled them to screen for relationship problems during the postnatal period and to provide support when required in a way that was valued by mothers. Most health visitors were enthusiastic about the value of the intervention in improving their contribution to family welfare (Simons, 2003).
Developing the capability of the health visiting workforce to offer early relationship support
Evidence highlighted above indicates that a person experiencing relationship distress is most likely to turn to someone that they are already in routine contact with such as a health visitor; and that such opportunities for early intervention are often missed or ignored because health visitors don't have the training to feel able to discuss relationship issues, or respond to meet the need, or refer appropriately to more specialist therapeutic services.
With effective training, however, it is possible to build a relationally capable workforce that is relationally minded, can identify the signs of difficulties and respond appropriately, and promote ways of protecting and strengthening relationships (Coleman et al 2013).
There are a number of ways in which the development of such a workforce could be achieved, including:
Cascade model of training
A training package to train 2 relationship champions in each employing organisation and universities offering health visitor training programmes (146 in England) who would be responsible for cascading a blended learning programme to student health visitors and the health visiting workforce, which will total 14-15000 by March 2015 as result of the HV Implementation plan (DH 2011). This offer could also be extended to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Direct delivery
A blended learning training programme delivered directly to the health visiting workforce consisting of an eLearning module and one day skills workshop.
E-learning only
Standalone e-learning package that provides the learner with knowledge, understanding and tools to offer relationship support in practice.
Evidence relating to health visiting, and allied frontline professionals, strongly supports the contention that incorporating a couple dimension into health visiting practice has the potential to help intervene effectively where there is relationship distress. Given the evidence regarding the impact of relationship distress and couple conflict on young children, the Relationships Alliance believes that the development of relational practice in health visiting should be a priority.
The Relationships Alliance believes that such a development can best be achieved by key partners – e.g. the Institute of Health Visiting, Department of Health, Department for Work and Pensions (as department with responsibility for relationship support) – working together; the Relationships Alliance has expertise in this area and would be keen to contribute to and facilitate such a programme of work.

The loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) is a passerine bird in the family Laniidae. It is the only member of the shrike family endemic to North America; the related northern shrike (L. borealis) occurs north of its range but also in the eastern Palearctic. It is nicknamed the butcherbird after its carnivorous tendencies, as it consumes prey such as amphibians, insects, lizards, small mammals and small birds, and some prey end up displayed and stored at a site, for example in a tree. Due to its small size and weak talons, this predatory bird relies on impaling its prey upon thorns or barbed wire for facilitated consumption. The numbers of Loggerhead shrike have significantly decreased in recent years, especially in Midwestern, New England and Mid-Atlantic areas.

It's winter already and we don't have much daylight or sun shine here. That's why I tried to add some sun in the bread I made today.
I did measure the wheat flour, but I got confused somewhere after 6 or 7 dl, so I'm not sure how much I actually used. Use more or less if needed. I didn't look at the time I baked the breads, but I think it might have been 15-20 minutes.
Sunny Bread
(3 breads)
4,5 dl water
25 g yeast
0,5 tsp salt
2 tsp molasses (dark syrup)
0,5 tsp turmeric (use 1 tsp if you want your bread more yellow)
3 carrots
1 dl sunflower seeds
3 dl rolled oats
1 dl rye flour
about 9 dl wheat flour
2 tbsp oil
Dissolve yeast, salt, molasses and turmeric in lukewarm water. Grate the carrots coarsely and add them with sunflower seeds, oats and rye flour to the water and stir until mixed. Knead a dough with wheat flour. Add the oil in the end of kneading. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until doubled.
Punch down. Make three relatively flat round breads, 15-20 cm diameter. Put them on a baking sheet (two on one baking sheet), cover with a towel and allow to rise 10-15 minutes. Take a narrow drinking glass or small round cookie cutter and make a hole in the middle of each bread. Bake in 225 Celsius degrees until they look ready.

Rep. Pat Snyder Announces Re-election Bid
Wausau-Wisconsin State Representative Pat Snyder announced his candidacy for re-election in the 85th Assembly District today.
"It is a great honor to serve the people of the 85th Assembly District as their voice in Madison," Rep. Snyder said. "Over the last two years, I have worked to make meaningful progress to move our state forward, including improving the child welfare system, authoring Right to Try, and passing Sara's Law. I look forward to continuing to make impactful reforms for the taxpayers in Marathon County and across the state."
This session Rep. Snyder served as co-chair of the Speaker's Task Force on Foster Care. The Task Force traveled the state to hear testimony from foster parents, foster children, biological parents, and other advocates. Under Rep. Snyder's leadership, the members of the bipartisan Task Force jointly introduced a package of bills that addressed the concerns raised at public hearings statewide. 11 of these important bills were passed by both houses of the legislature and signed into law by Governor Walker.
"I am committed to remaining accessible and listening to the people of the 85th Assembly District. Whether it is at a community event, a meeting at a local coffee shop, or during my monthly office hours, the issues I hear about the most are supporting our local schools, affordable high-quality healthcare, and holding the line on taxes," said Rep. Snyder. "I will continue to build upon our successes in these areas, including a record increase in K-12 education spending."
Also during his first term, Rep. Snyder authored several proposals that have been signed into law. This includes legislation that will allow patients to receive exploratory medical treatment, legislation that provides protections for family law attorneys, a bill that provides resources for child neglect and abuse prevention, an increase in access to mental health records for foster parents, and the creation of a license for micro-markets.
The 85th Assembly District includes the Cities of Schofield and Wausau; the Villages of Rothschild, Elderon and Hatley; and the Towns of Bevent, Norrie, Weston, Easton, Reid, Franzen, and Ringle.

One Bullet Game Jam
So this week's update is slightly different. I haven't actually worked on Squillamorph this week as I was both running and taking part in the course game jam. For those who don't know, I'm part of an incubator and a graduate teaching assistant on the computer games arts course at UCA.
Anyway, the theme of the jam was 'One Bullet'. I decided to make a bullet that can be picked up again to fit the theme. The game itself is a wave based survival. I didn't want the week to be wasted in regards to progressing Squillamorph, so I worked on a game that I could use to experiment with things for it.
The main aspect I tried out was using my custom physics to drive the movement of Unity's native rigidbodies. I got it working really nicely which meant the collision is done for me! While this may take slightly longer to implement into Squillamorph than I'd like I believe it will save me more headaches in the long run. The number of issues my raycast collision system has brought makes this a worthwhile change.
I also tried something I personally haven't used for over a year. I animated the enemies and spawner sprites using Unity's animation system. It creates a really nice look without taking much time, so I may end up doing certain animations like this from now on rather than doing everything in code.
So there isn't much else to talk about other than I refined some of the maths relate methods I use in almost every project. I made everything myself within the week. I really enjoyed making this game and I do intend to take it further.
If you want to play the game you can download it below!
My high score is Wave 8, see if you can beat it!

I'm the game developer for Squillamorph! I'll post here on the devlog as often as I can.
I'm currently looking at an Early Access release very soon. Stay tuned for updates!

Some folks dress because –well it's essential ( lol). You, obviously, cannot run around nude — sorry but the Adam & Eve days has been long over –blame Eve!
While it is a necessity to wear clothes, there are those who meticulously think/plan what they are going to wear and then dress.
They enjoy personal style and/or have a taste for fashion. They are cautious of their look and intentionally play with it; tweaking and experimenting occasionally or even consistently.
I don't know which you are. You may fall in one of these categories or perhaps there is a third category which I am not familiar with.
This piece focuses more on personal style
not trends.
I have a hate-love relationship with "trends" You ain't gonna tell me I am " soo out of season" and keep introducing stuff every season that I should get to stay " in season" CHILD we ALL ain't got $$ like that!
I have my style, now, I may want to see what you have to say ( corporate fashion world) about what's trending or what's in this season or that season … but ultimately I decide–THANK YOU. I may get knock-off versions too (YES) . lol
I am using Kelis for styling reference, many may not know her as a fashionista but in my eyes she is.
Looking at this line-up you see she transcends her look in various ways. She looks classy in that sailor inspired dress, the next minute she is eclectic and daring in photos #3 and #4. Her style, certainly, is not stagnant. She directs it.
Personally, I don't have an answer for what my style is. I am not even sure I wanna limit myself by throwing a title.
There are various styles ( so why not dub here and there, feel me?) But there are people who label themselves proudly to one style, such as " my style is boho-chic" ( see below for definition and understanding)
There are many styles, I am only going to high-lighting a couple to help ya with the fashion-vocab. So you can better articulate your look and decided in 2013 what your fashion resolution will be.
Boho-chic: Basically hippie style, bohemian inspired look. loose-fitting, "floaty" pieces, pastel colors or flowers, long, light, sheer textures, hippie head bands. Olsen twins come to mind for me. See below:
Goth Style: This is dark-color heaven– specifically the darkest of all colors: BLACK!
Black lips, dark make-up: heavy liner. And for some reason deep-red and dark-purple is highly associated with this style. Punk rock-stars and vampire is what it makes me think of.
However, do not run away just yet, you can create your own soft-version of a goth style. (See Rihanna below) I really like how she makes this style her own. Also see our former MixFix arrest Grace Martin here ( scroll down, last picture. She is in all black and it has leather too!)
Notice the purple hair at the end ( Kate Perry) and notice Rihanna's red lips ( below) This two colors, as I said, are associated with this style.
Check out goth makeup below. One of these days I will wear my black lipstick for yall!! I like to mix it with purple, it tones it down a bit but still keeps that deep dark look.
I am gonna try this goth-style for a future post! This will be a part of my 2013 style resolution– try dark looks! Yall know that will be a challenge, I love color!!
Nautical style: This is preppy, clean-cut, sophisticated, polished, comes-from-well-to-do family look (lol) sailor inspired look.
Check it out ( below) It reminds me of the brands: Nautica, and Tommy Hilfiger or stuff you can get from Gap, or Old Navy. Lots of stripes, whites, blues and red.
(above) Princess Kate Williams' sister : Pippa Middleton proves to us it's also a loyalty style! lol
See "Bey" rocking this style (below) and check out Jay-Z in the next photo!
Vintage style: This is the hardest style to describe. Most folks who shop at thrift stores ( me) would say their ensembles are vintage. Garments originating from another era, second-hand, "antiquish". It is indi ( Independent) retro, "old-schoolish".
One of my favorite clothing sites: Mod Cloth sales items in this style. Check them out. BE WARNED, you may start shopping! Cute stuff!!
when I think of vintage style, I think: flared skirts, flared dresses, cinched waistlines, polka dots, gold chains, lots of prints, florals, velvet, laces etc…
Then there's the various types of glasses ; I love glasses inspired by this style/era ( See below)
I also like the makeup: bright lips, heavy eyeliners — Egyptian-looking and thick eyebrows. Very sensual makeup, I tell you!
HEY, I just remembered my make-up and look on Christmas was vintage/retro, see below. For more picture, see here
There are also various hats: tilt hat, turban hat, platter beret hats, fedora, bowler hat etc…
There is the Black mustache ( black mustache is now trending, I want a necklace or shoes in it)
OHHH the hair styles ( big curls, huge bangs) and then the hair accessories ( scarf print, bandana), and even more vintage jewelry–it's SUPER vast.
I am even having a hard time finding pictures ugh!! <— most of the colored (purple and blue words) are links, so you can see an image and know what it looks like) I hope it helps you in conceptualizing this comprehensive style.
Beyoncé's "Why Don't You Love Me?" music video comes to my mind. Her attires in that video were very retro/vintage! I liked every single piece!
Yes this is one of my all-time favorite styles! It's feminine and am very voluptuous — so "we go"! lol
You know who is the current epitome of retro/vintage? None other than Beyoncé's sister: SOLANGE!!
I adore her style!! I can never stop looking at her looks when I start. I also like Rihanna's style. She is always renovating, never allowing her self to grow complacent. Be warned: I am about to indulge in Solange madness with the pictures! lol it could be excessive :-/ yikes!
No one, I repeat no one can mix crazy prints like solange and still look normal. This chick got mad, edgy, jaw-dropping style for dayyssssss!!! and she likes color like me so yea I try to mimic her look! lol
Print-mixing is such a hot topic now. Some think it looks like a mess! It looks as if one fell in their laundry basket and then rose up with various colors, prints. lol
Others, think it's genius if done correctly — and that's the trick! I tried once and OH MAMA!! I was a hot mess trying to mix animal prints and some flowers. I swear folks were staring me down ALL DAY! When I get it right, I will make sure to do a post!
Something about wearing your natural hair, specifically black kinky textured hair, Afros, TWA ( Tiny Winy Afros) poofs, huge loose frizzy hair, blow out or even puff-balls is retro/vintage style too. Especially how you dress yourself in correlation to your natural hair. It could be the gold chains, tribal prints, mixing prints..etc
Kelis again, look at her BIG-OLD chains! DANGGG!!!
Alright, I have covered a few types of styles . There are still others : earthy, urban, bold ( this one is about standing out, you will be looked at definitely, whether in a crazy way or good way, I don't know). There is: feminine/classic, glam, sporty…etc.
I highlighted some of the ones that will be a part of my style resolution for 2013 and informed yall on others ( Fashion vocab).
The looks I want to explore and play with are: Goth, and print mixing) Certainly, one can mix and fix ( mix N match) these various styles as they please.
After all, this is mixup, fixup !!!
Oops I forgot one other style for my resolution! I want to get in into wearing whites — specifically dresses, and skirts not jean material pants either.
Only time I think of white attire is if I am invited to a white-party/occasion otherwise it's nonexistent to me.
The tricky thing is; while black is slimming, white not so much– it can be tricky to pull off ! And you have to worry about it getting dirty, sighhh OH dear fashion! And this is where cream comes in, YAYE!! 🙂
So, what are you fashion resolutions for 2013? You have any? Share, share!!
Stylish Sana ( my longest post yet)

Healthcare - Rx - Professional
Efforts for prescription required drugs and other healthcare products that are directed to healthcare professionals. Note: Entrants must detail any regulatory challenges that impaced the effort.
Of the 28 million Americans who suffer from migraines, less than half are correctly diagnosed. In order for IMITREX, the market leader, to grow share in an increasingly fragmented market with an overall downward trend in prescriptions, it was essential to educate "headache" sufferers about migraine symptoms - helping them to self-identify, encouraging them to talk to their doctors and, ultimately, getting them to ask for IMITREX. The "Diagnosis" campaign met all of those objectives by generating as many as one million conversations about migraine, growing the migraine market and bolstering IMITREX sales and share.

Five Straight Wins for the Colorado Mammoth
March 18, 2018 - National Lacrosse League (NLL) - Colorado Mammoth News Release
Vanquishing the Vancouver Stealth (1-12) 13-10 in Langley, BC, Saturday night, the Colorado Mammoth (9-3) took home its fifth straight win.
Saturday's win was a good team win. The Mammoth's offense scored on 4 of 5 power plays. On the defensive side, goaltender Dillon Ward saved 49 out of 59 shots on goal.
Assistant Captain Joey Cupido said of the defense, "I thought we did a pretty good job in spurts. We stuck to our game plan for the majority of the time but, at some points, we got sloppy and Ward bailed us out big. There's definitely room for improvement but when you hold a team to 10 goals or less you know you're doing something right".
It was Cupido who took scored for the Mammoth 23 seconds into the first quarter. His first goal of the night was also his 100th career point.
"It's a pretty cool milestone," said Cupido. "I'm more excited that it came with a win. I'm excited to keep chipping away and helping where I can."
Within six minutes of Cupido's goal, Jeremy Noble tallied two more for the Mammoth, tying his career high of 18 goals in one season. At 7:54, Tony Malcom put Vancouver on the scoreboard. The final goal of the quarter came two minutes later as Stephen Keogh scored for Colorado. At the end of the first, the Mammoth led 4-1.
A quick goal by Pat Saunders to begin the second quarter brought the score to 4-2 Mammoth. The Mammoth then widened its lead with two goals in two minutes. But beginning at 6:58, the Stealth answered back with two goals in just under one minute. Just 11 seconds before halftime, Eli McLaughlin scored once more for the Mammoth, bringing the score to 7-4 Mammoth.
The third quarter saw the Stealth tie up the game 7-7 by 10:49 with three goals, two scored by Joel McCready, two scored on power plays, and all three assisted by Rhys Duch. At 13:29, The Mammoth regained the lead, 8-7, as McLaughlin scored his second goal of the night.
In the fourth quarter, the Mammoth and Stealth traded goals, but while the Mammoth twice went on two-goal runs, the Stealth was unable to score consecutive goals all quarter.
The Stealth did keep the score tight in the fourth though, within a two-point differential, until Zack Greer scored at 10:12, putting the Mammoth up by three with the score at 12-9.
At 12:51, With an extra attacker, Corey Small scored once more for Vancouver.
Finally, In the last minute, with an empty net, Cupido scored a book-end goal, cementing a 13-10 Mammoth win, bringing the Mammoth's streak to five games won.
Next Saturday, March 24, the Mammoth meets the Stealth at Pepsi Center for their fourth and final matchup this season.
Cupido said, "We have to make sure we're doing the proper work off the floor. We know the Stealth is going to be a desperate team. They need to win next week, so we need to match their intensity. It's going to come down to hard work and desire."
If the Mammoth clinches its sixth consecutive win next weekend, the team will tie its longest winning streak record. The Mammoth has previously streaked through six successive wins in 2004, 2007 and 2012.
Fittingly, on March 24, the Mammoth will also raise John Grant, Jr.'s No. 24 jersey to the rafters of Pepsi Center in a pre-game ceremony, beginning at 7 PM MT. To find seats, visit AltitudeTickets.com.

£24.00 – £48.00
HGH-Fragment-176-191 has been heavily associated with various health benefits, which include fat loss and recovery, among others. It is a useful body fat loss tool since it prevents the manufacture of lipids as well as fatty acids.

HGH Fragment 176-191 5mg Pre Mixed Pen Denmark
Also known as the Growth Hormone Peptide fragment-176-191, HGH fragment 176-191 is a form of amino acid featuring 16 growth hormones that begin from numbers 176 to 191. According to research, this category of growth hormones contributes to fat loss in the human body. It has the HGH Frag 176-191 feature that represents the fat burning power of the hormone.
HGH-Fragment-176-191 has been heavily associated with various health benefits, which include fat loss and recovery, among others. It is a useful body fat loss tool since it prevents the manufacture of lipids as well as fatty acids. Since it is just a fragment of Human Growth Hormone, you do not need to worry about any blood sugar problems.
How HGH Fragment 176-191 5mg Pre Mixed Pen Works
According to research, a fragment of any growth hormones features fat reduction properties, and the HGH frag 176-191 makes up less than ten percent of the overall size of a Growth Hormone molecule. The fragment doesn't have any effects on growth or insulin resistance.
It mimics the way other natural GH molecules work by regulating your body's fat metabolism process with the exception that it doesn't cause any adverse effects on blood sugar levels and growth.
It means that this product contributes to lipolysis, which is a process that aids in the elimination and breakdown of body fats. Also, the fragment inhibits lipogenesis, which is a process where materials with zero fat properties are converted into body fat.
The Benefits of the HGH Fragment 176-191
Research has indicated that this fragment mimics the way the natural HGH controls body fat metabolism. But, it does not have any adverse effects on blood sugar and muscle growth that the unmodified HGH causes.
The HGH Fragment 176-191 promotes the breakdown of fats or lipolysis while preventing the development of the fatty acids in the body. It is 12.5 times stronger compared to HGH for weight loss. Also, HGH Fragment 176-191 can significantly boost the IGF-1 levels, which allows its users to benefit from the anti-aging effects.
Traits and Functions of the HGH Fragment 176-191
All growth hormones are produced by pituitary, and the process of manufacturing this fragment takes place in a laboratory where synthetic versions of Growth Hormones are produced. This helps to elevate all the levels of the GH fragment that have been associated with the fat loss process.
Also, HGH Fragment 176-19 has been well-known to aid in other health functions like ant-aging effects, an increase in muscularity, recovery, and other health benefits. HGH Fragment 176-191 is a perfect option than other regular Growth Hormones that are found in your body.

11 Easy Hairstyles for Snowy Days
When the weather is like it is now — bitter cold, blistering wind and freezing snow — the last thing you want to do is get out of your warm bed early for an extensive beauty routine. On the other hand, you don't necessarily want to go straight to hat hair before you eat breakfast — your hair deserves some styling, and that's whether you're heading into work or granting yourself an impromptu snow day. Five-minute easy hairstyles to the rescue. Scroll on for 11 'dos that will have you looking all kinds of stylish on days that are winter wonderland IRL.
1. Front-Row Braid: No need to grab a headband to pull hair out of your face — you can simply create one with this front-row braid. Start at your hairline and work your way back on each side, then secure each braid with a bobby pin or hair tie. For some added texture, spritz a bit of salt spray through your tresses to give them hold and style. (via Barefoot Blonde)
2. Double Ponytail: Forget extensions; this hair hack will help you achieve longer locks in minutes. In an unexpected take on the classic ponytail, this style requires two ponytails, one on top of the other. The result is the illusion of one super long, voluminous pony that adds all kinds of fullness to your mane. (via Promise Tangeman)
3. Bobby Pin Art: How about a hair routine that takes five seconds? Grab a few nearby bobby pins and get to work creating a fun design to perk up even the tiredest of 'dos. Bonus if you have any fun colors to coordinate with your outfit. (via Cosmopolitan)
4. Easy Chignon: This chic style might look as if it took hours of perfecting to achieve, but in reality it's as easy as it is elegant. Simply tie your locks back in a low pony and flip it up and through to achieve these enviable, fuss-free tresses. (via LuLu*s)
5. Messy Crossover Pony: With just a few extra steps added to your typical ponytail, this hairstyle certainly won't take you long. Just be sure to add a bit of tease and hairspray to maximize the volume. (via Truelane)
6. Low, Messy Bun: A bun is a great way to finish off any ensemble, and we're particularly enamored with how sophisticated this low, messy bun looks. Once you've tied your hair up, give your mane a bit of texture by haphazardly taking out some strands to frame your face. (via A Beautiful Mess)
7. Knotty Ponytail: Step up your ponytail game with this twist on the classic style. Start off with your regular ol' side pony and follow it up by adding a knotted braid to the top layer. (via Brit + Co)
8. Double Fishtail Braid: This style proves that more grown-up pigtails are in fact possible — and we're kind of obsessed. Section your hair into two parts and get to work fishtail braiding, using a hair tie to keep each in place. (via Kassinka)
9. Top Knot: Has there ever been a hairstyle more effortlessly chic than the top knot? Take a cue from just about every off-duty model look ever with this easily replicable hairdo. It looks fab with everything and takes mere seconds to create, making it the best option for the days that you keep hitting that snooze button. (via The Freckled Fox)
10. Half Up Top Knot: Whether you're rocking a lob or just made the change to a swag, you can make this style work for pretty much any length. To get the look for yourself, take your knowledge of the top knot and just apply it to the top layer of your locks. The 'do is low maintenance and functional for any weather Mother Nature might throw at you. (via Treasures and Travels)
11. The Perfectly Messy Ponytail: Believe it or not, there's some skill involved in creating the perfectly un-perfect hairstyle, like this messy ponytail. There's a surprising amount of teasing and volume involved in achieving that beautiful balance between bedhead and put together, but there's no better style to rock when there's a blizzard outside and all you want to do is snuggle up in a sweater. (via Camilla Pihl)
