Feb. 7 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department has approved the sale of two large aircraft self-protection suites for aircraft used to transport the prime minister and president of India.
The U.S. Defense's Security Cooperation Agency notified the Congress on Wednesday that it has approved the sale of two systems -- large aircraft infrared countermeasures, or LAIRCAM, and Self-Protection Suites, or SPS -- at an estimated cost is $190 million.
The systems will be installed on two Boeing-777 aircraft to be purchased from the national air carrier Air India, according to DSCA.
The India Economic Times reported India's government recently requested the LAIRCAM SPS, given the high-level threat to the prime minister and the president. The systems will put the Indian planes on par with Air Force One.
Last year, the United States -- India's second-largest arms supplier -- granted the country Strategic Trade Authorization-1 status, which eases defense procurement. Japan and South Korea also have this status in Asia.
"This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to strengthen the U.S.-Indian strategic relationship and to improve the security of a major defensive partner which continues to be an important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region," DSCA said in a press release.
DSCA said proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

Meet the Media Contact Research Team, Nerd Division. We just had our first training session. These artisans are game! Was not expecting two people from my crafting/handmade art world to be such Excel nerds, but I am so happy to discover this through their applications!
Now we are going to knit the Internet.........and do our best to keep up with the exciting world of the changing media in all of its forms. Tin Shingle's Media Contacts Database is created for regular people like you and me who want to get the word out about their business, and realize that they can if they pitch the right idea to the right person at the right time.
Searching through a database like this is like cozying up with a lightening bolt of ideas you didn't realize people specialized in. Really helpful to someone doing research for buzz building outreach.

The Types of People You Will Always Run Into At the Piggly Wiggly
From The Squeezer patrolling the produce bins to The Check Writer holding up the express lane, you'll spot them all at The Pig.
Sure, you head to your local Piggly Wiggly grocery store to shop, but we'd bet Mama's Christmas china that you're also in it for the people-watching opportunities. Recently, we asked our Facebook Brain Trust what kinds of shoppers you're most likely to see at The Pig. Here's what they said—tell us what we missed:
1. The Squeezer
She never met a tomato or a loaf of bread she couldn't get into her clutches for that all-important freshness squeeze.
2. The Calculator
You'll never catch her spending a penny more than she absolutely has to, hence the iPhone calculator she's using to compare the price-per-ounce of one big can of Busch's Original versus three small cans.
3. Memaw Top Shelf
There's always that one little old lady (bless her heart) who's five feet tall in heels and needs lots of items from the top shelf. Not to worry. She has mastered the "reach-for-the-skies-on-tippy-toes stretch" that always brings a tall stock clerk to her aid.
4. The Cheater
She KNOWS she has more than 10 items in that buggy, and yet there she is, clogging up the express lane.
5. The Church Police
With a raised, accusatory eyebrow, she'll stop her pastor, innocently shopping for his dairy products, and tell him she missed seeing him in church last Sunday . . . Then she'll remember that she's the one who wasn't there.
6. Lucy the Label Reader
Cut her some slack, people. She's an exhausted mom who left Dad in charge at naptime and slipped off to The Pig, taking her sweet time reading every label just to enjoy being alone for a little while. Most of the time, she's . . .
7. The Chauffeur
With three kids in the buggy, there's barely enough room for the Cheerios.
8.The SEC Speed Demon
Wild-eyed, he darts through the store, reaching over fellow shoppers and mumbling "scuse me, scuse me, scuse me" as if he's en route to a fire. You'll see him every Saturday during football season, about an hour before kickoff. He's usually buying beer and charcoal.
9.The Camo Brothers
They're decked out in camo overalls, camo T-shirts, camo ballcaps . . . and they're usually buying beer and charcoal.
10. The Novice Cook
She latches onto the first gray-haired woman she spots and quizzes her about the purpose of, and substitute for, every spice on the shelf. And her first cousin . . .
11. Eula You-Look-Like-You-Work-Here
"Honey, can you tell me where to find the hush puppy mix? I'm beginning to think they hid it just to get my goat."
12. Susie SmartPhone
She could get her groceries out of her cart and onto that conveyor belt ever so much faster if she would JUST PUT DOWN THAT PHONE!!
13. The Newbie Shopper
He's a teenager, FaceTiming his mom to make sure he's getting the right laundry detergent.
14. Pepaw Bossy Pants
He recently retired and has never bought groceries in his life, and yet there he is on aisle 7, trying to convince his wife that she should do it his way. Wonder what she plans to do with that broom she's reaching for?
15. Bubba the Nibbler
He'll eat that whole bag of pork rinds or peanuts before he even pays for them.
16. The Complainer
She always wants to see the manager because . . . well, she'll think of something: "You've only got two lines open, and I've got something on the stove at home!"
17. The Scrutinizer
Before she takes her buggy in hand and moves on down the line, she must study the entire receipt, reviewing every single item to make sure she got the BOGO on Wickles, the dollar off Blue Bell, and the 2-for-1 on Dale's.
18. The Deli Diva
Honey, we KNOW you're having the Junior League over for a wine and cheese because you said so every time you requested a sample of the 15 Cheddars, Bries, Goudas, and Roqueforts you just had to taste before making your purchase decisions. But can the rest of us please order our ham and Swiss before our toddlers are in college?
19. The Check Writer
She has perfect penmanship, slowly looping and dotting, and she takes time to neatly print her driver's license number and phone number on her check. She stubs her check before reaching into her meticulously organized wallet and taking out a slim calculator to compute and record her bank balance. Now it's time to carefully tear out her check so that there are no jagged edges and hand it to the cashier. Just as the Millennials standing behind her throw their avocados into the air and run screaming from the store, she returns her wallet and checkbook to their designated spaces in her purse, accepts and reviews her receipt (see: The Scrutinizer), and asks whether the store sells stamps. If so, might she purchase some for her sister? Those will need to go on a separate bill of course . . .
20. The Coupon Queen
She will not hesitate to make everybody in line wait 15 minutes while she searches her wallet for that 10-cents-off-Duke's-mayo coupon.
21. The Inquisitor
By the time she's finished asking the seafood guy if the fish is fresh, wild, healthy, sustainable, local, and aesthetically pleasing on a serving platter. . . you could drive down to Florida and catch her a well-adjusted snapper.

Focus and Optimize your Exploratory runs
In addition to providing requirements for each Exploratory run, you can also provide additional parameters to help further focus each Exploratory run and optimize your results. A parameter in the context of Exploratory additional guidelines that provide context in a run. Below are some types of parameters that have proven helpful in guiding testers through an Exploratory run.
1. End user resources
End-user resources are any resources that you would provide to an end-user of your application. Such resources can take many forms, from documentation from your support center to videos showing an end-user how exactly the application works.
Why provide end-user resources?
End-user documentation has proven helpful in many ways. Not only does it clearly explain how a feature or application should work, by providing context in both test-creation and bug-finding scenarios, but is also acts as an accessible guide for the tester for the during of the run.
How to provide this parameter to testers?
To be helpful parameter to testers, end user resources must be accessible. To that end, support documentation can be provided directly from your help or support center via a direct link. Alternatively, documentation could be provided as a PDF or other document type and attached to the Exploratory instruction form. Again, the important thing is for this documentation to be accessible.
2. A list of known Bugs
A list of known bugs is exactly what it sounds like: a list of some sort that details a known bugs that have not been addressed.
Why provide a list of known Bugs in the first place?
The primary purpose of providing a list of known bugs to testers during an Exploratory run is to have testers use their time efficiently and not report back bugs that are already known to your team. A list of known bugs can also help testers contextualize what a bug looks like within your application.
How to provide this parameter to testers?
Because a hypothetical list could be anywhere from 1 to 100, how to let testers know these bugs can change. If there are just a few known bugs, these could be easily logged within the instructions themselves. If the list is more expansive, perhaps a document such as an excel sheet would be more suitable.
3. Ranking testing areas of focus by priority
Ranking areas of focus by priority is a process where you identify which areas of you application or feature are the most important to test during an Exploratory run.
Why rank areas of focus?
Giving or ranking areas of focus has an effect similar to providing a list of known bugs as it steers testers toward areas you want them to focus more attention on.
If there are multiple areas that you want Exploratory testing done on, we highly suggest that you discuss run details with your Rainforest CSM.
How do I rank areas of focus?
Very simply: all you need to do is specify the areas of your application that should take priority in the test instructions. This could be as simple as identifying these key areas as the primary purpose of the run and adding instructions for testers to test other areas after testing these primary areas.
Dialing in these parameters for each Exploratory run will help hone and focus your results. If you have any additional questions on how to turn these dials, please reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

The river Wainganga or Waingunga a river in central India (where the stories of The Jungle Book take place)
From The Jungle Book, Mowgli's Brothers
Shere Khan was the tiger who lived near the Wainganga River, twenty miles away.
From The Second Jungle Book, How Fear Came
And the heat went on and on, and sucked up all the moisture, till at last the main channel of the Wainganga was the only stream that carried a trickle of water between its dead banks; and when Hathi, the wild elephant, who lives for a hundred years and more, saw a long, lean blue ridge of rock show dry in the very centre of the stream, he knew that he was looking at the Peace Rock, and then and there he lifted up his trunk and proclaimed the Water Truce, as his father before him had proclaimed it fifty years ago. The deer, wild pig, and buffalo took up the cry hoarsely; and Chil, the Kite, flew in great circles far and wide, whistling and shrieking the warning.

Life is a long journey, and as such, sometimes we feel lonely, lost, dissatisfied, disconnected, frustrated, unhappy, anxious or depressed. Life coaching sessions can be an antidote to those crippling feelings and thoughts.
Recognizing that we are much more than consumers, professionals, parents, or flesh and bone opens the opportunity to reconnect to our emotional, spiritual, and mental dimensions.
Life coaching sessions open the space to speak out our fears, share our confusion, and trace a path forward.
The mind that runs wild into the future, projecting our worst fears is the enemy. The mind that entertain us with memories of the past distracts us from action.
In our life coaching sessions you will learn strategies to reconnect to the now, the only place in time that exists, and the one you can always deal with.
Quieting the mind allows us to be fearless. It let us recognize that problems don't have an existence of their own.
We only have life situations that we can either resolve now, or leave them for later, when we have the resources to resolve them.
While optional, our life coaching usually starts with some light movements designed to relax the body. More specifically the hips, which are recognized as the place where trauma is storaged in the body.
Since ancient times, thinkers of the highest caliber have recognized the body as a "storage" of emotions, both positive and negative.
By "moving" your body will naturally "release" some emotional baggage without having to process it mentally, which saves you from some of the pain of confronting past negative emotions.
Once you are in such state, opening up is less painful, and relevant information start flowing naturally.
Limiting believes, fears, paradigms are identified and action can be taken. Expect an undercurrent of joy to become part of your life.
Expect a reduction of tension and pain in your body too.
Life coaching sessions can take place wherever is convenient for you and can be done in English and Spanish languages.
If you are ready to take action, I am ready to share part of my journey and life lessons with you.
Skype and face to face coaching are available.
1 session*
10 sessions package – to be used within 6 months

The company was set up in 2012 and has a great team of employees on board. Eleanor Adams worked in construction for 18/20 years as an Office Manager and decided to start up a cleaning company working within 3 areas: Residential, Offices and Construction projects.
Our offices in Motherwell have been cleaned by De Gleam Team for two years and we have no complaints. Everything is cleaned to a high standard, cleaners are great and nothing is too much bother for them to do. Would have no hesitation in recommending for office cleaning. There has never been a day that our office has not been cleaned to perfection.
DRS Motherwell
I wish to express the appreciation of LM Construction for the high class cleaning service supplied to us at George Watson's School, Edinburgh.
This was a difficult contract demanding a mixture of builders cleaning and sparkle cleaning as and when rooms became available and as works were completed. The service offered by De Gleam Team was comprehensive, efficient and flexible, adapting quickly to ever changing priorities. Your team were at all times very courteous, friendly and willing to assist in any way possible.
This extends our previous successful relationship with your company and the site cleaning service you provide.
We are willing to provide references directly for you for works at any time.
David Lawson, Managing Director
Eleanor Adams is a fantastic professional and cared for my home as if it was her own.
Katie - Glasgow
Eleanor is an extremely reliable and trustworthy person who always did a thorough and professional clean. She is also an extremely pleasant lady who interacted very well with our family. I am delighted with her service and her company and would highly recommend them.

One of my favorite blogs is Geninne's Art Blog. It's pretty popular, and with good reason. It's gorgeous over there. Geninne does these amazing watercolors, mostly birds. All of her birds have smiling eyes and tend to make me smile too.
I found her blog through Pinterest many months ago and have been back every day since. She shares her art, her home, her family and they are all wonderful.
She often posts photos of a Vermilion Fly-catcher that lives nearby. While searching old books for clippings to put in my slides, I came across some illustrations of a Vermilion Fly-catcher. I instantly thought of Geninne and wanted to make a slide for her as a thank you for all of the inspiration her blog provides. So I made this.
I emailed her asking for her address so I could send her a small gift of appreciation. I felt like a total creeper, but she was so kind. Not only does she have light-hearted and beautiful art, but a soul to match.
Her response was that she would send me her address, but only if I sent her mine so she could send me a little gift too. What a lovely surprise that was.
I received her gift yesterday. All I can say is me-oh-my and sigh.
She sent me these lovely gift tags that are made from her "oops" prints.
One of them is from a favorite piece that is coincidentally my desktop background. That was a fun bonus.
When I opened the envelope the tags were safely contained in a plastic envelope. What I thought was just cardboard backing to keep them safe ended up being another surprise when I turned it over.
I found this little guy staring up at me, matted, addressed and signed!
How lucky am I? Very.
I have the perfect home for him too.
Isn't he gorgeous!
Do yourself a favor and check out her blog.

My spiritual work is my main passion in my life. I have been aware of the spirit world from a very young age and I truly love seeing the interaction that I endeavour to facilitate between my sitters and their loved ones in the spirit world, whether this be in a private appointment or whilst I demonstrate in the public.
I started using Tarot in my early teens and have been providing sittings in this medium for over 10 years. I provide sittings in both Tarot and Mediumship depending on what the sitter feels they need at the time.
I have been lucky enough to demonstrate in a variety of Spiritualist Churches, centres and private venues here in Sussex and my native South Wales and will be working further afield in future.
I also tutor developing psychic mediums in weekly classes and workshops. I love seeing my student's blossom and grow with their abilities but also see their own soul grow!!
Working with Spirit has brought so much love and happiness into my own life that I see this as stone upon the water, sending ripples across the water. To be able to give a little of this back is a true blessing.

Finance Portfolio Committee chair Nhlanhla Nene, who recently found his chair collapsing under him during a live television interview, has claimed the fall was deliberate and actually a metaphor likening the Rand's sudden drop in value to his drop from the chair.
Speaking at his next, less eventful, interview, Mr. Nene said "Just like the wheel came off my chair, the wheels seem to have come off our economy. I felt someone needed to do something drastic, so I took matters into my own hands and took the fall. I, however refuse to be labelled the 'fall guy' over this incident."
When asked about inspiration behind the move, Mr. Nene replied,"Well, I am a chair person."

Going global
The Almost News team is very happy to announce the appointment of their first Foreign Matters correspondent, who will be reporting on issues from the UK and Europe.
"Yes, I have to say that I do believe that foreign affairs are relevant, as the world is becoming a global village, with it's fair share of village idiots. I am very happy to be a part of the team, in fact I have a feeling of pleasure which has a lot in common with being given first go in a bollock-kicking contest", Mr Parasputin said.
This new appointment comes amidst speculation from the Middle East, that there may be a headhunting campaign to take over reporters from established publications. The Almost News team has met these comments with a categorical denial that these rumours have any factual basis. "Our colleagues at Al-Jahiliyya have nothing to fear."

Health Department deny virus
A call for calm has come out of the Gauteng Health Department via E-Mail to leading agencies, claiming the deadly virus sweeping the province is total fiction. The email also informed news agencies that the Gauteng Health Department is now relocating to Limpopo for a change of scenery.
Zanele Mngadi, Gauteng Health spokesperson, spotted at an airport getting a ticket to 'the first flight out of Gauteng', echoed these sentiments. Mngadi, dressed smartly in a Hazmat suit, said, "Everything is fine, what sick people? What Morningside Clinic? I'm just going on holiday for an indefinite duration, but I will address this rumor as soon as I get back."
In totally unrelated news, 91 people are being monitored closely as a precautionary measure at a private hospital. Family members have been told not to be concerned, but are being reminded of the importance of updating their wills.

text: Helping educate Tibetans in Tibet and India "gives hope", says Dalai Lama's former minister Dec 13, 2006 This News item expired on Mar 13, 2007. Expired news items remain listed in our News archive, however the information may no longer be accurate. Please do contact the office if you require any clarification. Helping educate Tibetans in Tibet and India "gives hope" The Tibet Foundation recently celebrated its annual day at the SOAS's Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre, University of London on 2nd December. Mrs Rinchen Khando Choegyal, a former minister for the Dalai Lama's Exiled Tibetan Government (Central Tibetan Administration) was the guest speaker on the occasion and spoke on Education and Healthcare: Tibetan Refugee Communities in India & Nepal, highlighting the importance of addressing issues inside and outside Tibet. "Both exiled Tibetans and Tibetans inside Tibet need help from the international community", said Mrs Rinchen Khando Choegyal, who is currently the Director of Tibetan Nuns Project in Dharamsala. The former minister stressed, "I think it is very important to look after the health and education facility in India and inside Tibet as it is the only way to build a nation stronger which gives hope to all Tibetans." The British charity had another successful year assisting Tibetans in exile as well as to those living inside Tibet. In addition, the Foundation is helping the Mongolian people towards revival of their Buddhist tradition, which they shared with the people of Tibet for centuries. Susan Burrows, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, reported that during the past financial year, which ended on 31st March 2006, the Tibet Foundation has sent £204,162 for its aid, education and healthcare projects in India, Nepal, Tibet and Mongolia. The Tibetan communities in India and Nepal received £113,542 during the past financial year where the Foundation is presently supporting nearly 1000 Tibetan refugees through its project partners. These include Central Tibetan Administration's Department of Health, Religion & Culture, Education and Home, Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, Tibetan Medical & Astrological Institute, Tibetan Children's Village Schools, Tibetan Homes Foundation, Tibetan Nuns Project, various monasteries in India and the Snow Lion Foundation in Nepal. In Tibet, mainly in the Kham area, the charity has supported over 1000 students in 18 primary, middle and vocational training schools. Other beneficiaries include 2 Old People's Homes, 65 Tibetan medical graduates in Traditional Tibetan Medicine, 3 Tibetan hospitals and clinics and 15 scholarships to study in Europe. During the past financial year, the charity has sent £61,000 for its ongoing and new projects mainly in education, healthcare and continuity of the Tibetan people's Buddhist culture. More than any other year, 2006 has seen an increase in the opportunities for individuals and supporters of Tibet to be involved. "Nowadays the situation has changed and if you really want to help Tibetan people there are many opportunities to do so", explained Phuntsog Wangyal, founding trustee of Tibet Foundation. As the Foundation expands its aid programme and continues to build better relationship with funding partners and aid groups on the ground the number of opportunities for assisting Tibetans increases. With more and more Tibetans moving into exile every year, and with high rates of poverty amongst Tibetans in Tibet, the assistance and aid provided by the Tibet Foundation plays a crucial role in raising awareness of Tibetan issues and building platforms for development within Tibetan communities. In Europe, the Foundation organises comprehensive cultural events to raise greater awareness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's message of peace and understanding of Tibetan Buddhist culture. The Foundation celebrated its achievements over the past year with numerous events including a screening of two films - Garden of Peace, highlighting the importance of non-violence as a means to resolving differences and creating harmony between different faiths and communities, and In the Land of Khampas, showing the poverty and hardships the Tibetans continue to face. The films highlighted the importance of community development for the Tibetan people and helping toward preservation and continuity of their unique Tibetan Buddhist culture. " Independence and separation from China are side issues. What Tibetans really want is to live their life as they want to choose it for themselves" explained Phuntsog Wangyal. He went on to add, "What is needed in Tibet are skills. Where there is shortage of skills amongst the Tibetans, there are opportunities for other people to come along and provide those skills. So training for better skills is critical for the Tibetan people." "We are doing what has to be done today" Mrs Choegyal added, highlighting the need and the importance of aid to Tibetan people. "Our people have not given up our struggle" she said, "It is very important to inform the international community about it as the world is changing fast and in many ways becoming very selfish. Tibetans in and outside Tibet have been very courageous, hardworking, perseverance and patient for the last many decades yet deep in hearts we are all fully aware that we have goals to achieve and promises to keep." Prof. Tadeusz Skoruspki, who heads the SOAS's Centre of Buddhist Studies, hosted the charity event at the School of Oriental & African Studies and said that the Centre was "very pleased to support the work of Tibet Foundation toward preservation and continuity of their Tibetan Buddhist Culture." Among the guests who attended this annual event were officials and representatives from the Office of Tibet, High Commission of India, Tibetan Community in Britain, Tibet-related organisations, Buddhist Centres and supporters of Tibet Foundation. Karma Hardy, Director of Tibet Foundation thanked everyone for their support, acknowledged the Board of Trustees' renewed commitment to help the Tibetan people in the future and also paid tribute to His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his patronage and guidance, which he said "inspire" the work of the charity. The event concluded with special cultural performances by three young talented artistes - Tibetan singer Tsomo Raginyinpa, Chinese musician Dr. Cheng Yu and Indian classical dancer Reshma Patel. They were a lively symbol of the forces involved in the Tibetan situation which if they gather like this day, can make a difference for the future of Tibet and Tibetans.

It's been forever....
Greetings dear friends! It's been a LOOONG time since I've written, and I have some very exciting news to share.... But for the moment I want to back up and share a little bit of what I've been up to for the last 7 (!?!) months... This summer I set out on a three week road trip to the Pacific Northwest to explore the San Juan Islands, and attend a few workshops.
On the Ferry from the San Juan Islands
This journey formed itself in my imagination last summer at Dream Teacher Training Level 2~ I had envisioned traveling guided by synchronicity and trust. I haven't undertaken an adventure like this in over a decade, and it was scary (and exciting) to set out alone on the open road (thank Goddess for Siri/GPS!) The first leg of the journey was to attend a Polish Ancestral singing workshop in Port Townsend, Washington with Laboritorium Piesni, a Polish singing group. It was thrilling and profound to sing in the ancient ways of my Slavic Ancestors, as guided by my dreams of The Amber Road. These dreams have led me to research and explore my ancestral lineage. You can see a video of us singing together HERE.
Photo by Elizabeth Shelhart
From there I met up with my dear friend Elizabeth and we traveled north to the rural and wild San Juan Islands, where we met whales, jellyfish, blue herons, and a bald eagle, harvested wild rose hips for tea, and had some of the best sleeps of our lives at a little Airbnb cottage on Lopez Island (which reminded me of a beloved place from my childhood, Prince Edward Island, Canada, as depicted in the CBC television production of Anne of Green Gables). Being in these remote Islands for a few days felt like a much-needed retreat and respite from all of the chaos and heartache effecting our world right now. Even now when I feel overwhelmed by sadness about the state of our politics, our Earth home, and the barrage of non-stop traumatic news, I draw a deep breathe and let my whole system remember the calm and peace I felt on Lopez Island.
Gathering Rosehips
Then it was off to the third and final level of Dream Teacher Training with Robert Moss at magical Mosswood Hollow in Duvall, WA. One of the most enriching aspects of this training has been the soulful connections I have made with other dreamers, and this time around was no different. Poignant gifts were given and received, even an exquisite Green Tourmaline necklace from my father (who has passed away) lovingly channeled through a fellow dreamer, Amy. My dad has been such an important part of this path of dreaming for me, and to feel his essence present itself in a unique and synchronistic way was a true blessing.
Robert Moss & Me on Graduation Day
On the final day of Dream Teacher Training I woke up early and walked down to a little pond at the far end of the property. After asking permission, I gathered a bendy branch from a weeping willow tree and wound it into a circular crown. Strolling around, I gathered bits of moss, fallen cedar and pine fronds, and rose hips, and wove them into the crown. I slipped on the embroidered blouse my great-grandmother, Nana Marie, brought back from Yugoslavia in the 1950's, and made my way to the cedar grove for a last minute singing rehearsal with two dreamers, Teresa and Keleren. As my creative offering for the graduation ceremony, we sang a polyphonic song I learned with Laboritoum Piesni a few weeks prior. With hands joined, we raised our voices in three-part harmony, intoning the ancient sounds of my ancestors. At the end of the song I had an impulse to open up our little circle and the whole group of 20 dreamers spontaneously burst into song right there in the yurt! I was filled with joy, and moved by a feeling of deep connection with all present.
::::::::Which leads me to my VERY! EXCITING! NEWS! ::::::::
Earlier in the summer I attended a women's gathering in Oregon called Spirit Weavers Gathering. It was a life-changing experience~ I met two phenomenal teachers who inspired me greatly, both in the way they presented their offerings, and also the resonant material they shared. These teachers, Asia Suler, and Milla Prince, brought together so many strands of knowledge for me~ Herbalism, Shamanic Practices, Plant and Mineral Lore, and Ancestral ways of knowing. Connecting with both of them propelled me along my path, and planted a seed for me to apply to teach Active Dreaming at Spirit Weavers 2018.... and I just found out today that I have been invited to teach two classes at Spirit Weavers next year!!! I am over-the-moon ecstatic. This is the first festival I will teach at, and I know Spirit Weavers Gathering will be a ripe field for this sort of work.

I'm sending love your way in these times of great change and uncertainty. I am committed to helping bring the gifts of dreaming to our world. If you would like support in connecting to your dreams, and seeing how they can guide your life, please reach out to me.
One simple way to begin fostering a deeper connection with your dreams (and yourself for that matter! :-) is to wake gently in the morning, and give yourself 10 minutes to write down anything you remember of your nighttime adventures. Just the act of doing this will lead to greater recall. I've also started using the voice memo feature on my phone to record my dreams & it's enhancing my dream reports!
I'd love to hear from you~ Please respond to this email and share what is going on in your life. How are you caring for yourself amidst the challenges of the world right now? What is bringing you joy, comfort, solace?
Wishing you blessing of light, grace and calm this winter:::

On Tuesday, Harvard announced it would be rebranding its online course offerings from HBX to Harvard Business School Online in an effort to raise awareness and reach motivated learners throughout the world. Nitin Nohria, dean of Harvard Business School, says "Harvard Business School Online has allowed us to extend the reach of the School to people wherever they are in the world, …Through this innovation we have brought much of what is special about the HBS experience to life online, helping us to achieve our educational mission in an entirely new medium."
Along with the announcement of the rebrand, Harvard Business School released the results of a recent survey of nearly 1,000 past participants of the online courses, who reported positive outcomes resulting from the online certificate programs. Over 90 percent of survey respondents said that obtaining the online certificate led to personal betterment, improved their professional life, bolstered their resume, and 90 percent said that it made them a more confident leader and increased their knowledge of business terminology. Similarly, Northeastern University's Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy released survey results from 750 HR leaders, with the majority (61 percent) saying that they believe online credentials are "of generally equal quality" to those completed in-person, an increased percentage from previous years.
This online method of offering business education complements a position that Bodo Schlegelmilch, chair of AMBA and a professor of international management and marketing at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, takes regarding the key nature of continuing education for MBA graduates in a Financial Times article published last week. The professor contends that MBAs have a need to continually top-off their degrees to stay relevant in the ever-evolving business environment. He advocates for the MBA as a "rented qualification" dependent upon graduates taking courses to renew their qualification over time. While this is a more radical idea, other business schools are also making changes to support graduates. Over two years ago all University of Michigan Ross Business School alumni, including MBA graduates, were granted complimentary access to all online course offerings and the ability to audit classes on campus. To encourage participation, the school created targeted online courses for MBA graduates returning to the workplace. Though a relatively low percentage of alumni are currently taking advantage of the offering, the most engaged are those graduates with under 15 years of work experience.
The rise in the quantity and status of online courses can greatly benefit both prospective MBA candidates and graduates. A prospective MBA student may take an online course or certificate program to help overcome a perceived weakness in his/her application to business school, or to demonstrate commitment to a particular focus area. Prospective students may also want to consider future access to online or in-person offerings for alumni during the school selection process. For MBA graduates, continued online coursework exhibits a commitment to continual learning and improvement. These courses are being taken more seriously by corporate recruiters and the business schools themselves, so prospective and former MBA students should use them to their advantage.

I have decided that this will be a very good year.
January is the first chapter of a new book. An amazing adventure and love story full of dreams, projects and healthy recipes.
The future depends on what we do today, having in our hands 365 chances to be happier. The happiest!! Many opportunities to make mistakes to learn from them, improve, move and grow.
So, why don't we start eating healthier? Just give this year the chance to be a big year. The year that changes your life into a lifestyle.
From the moment you decide to eat healthy, you feel good, energetic and in a better mood. You will also increase your dreams, mental capacity and your organization. You work with passion and you reach your goals. You get up early and give thanks to life. You feel motivated and you love it.
And so little by little, day by day, you give shape to your life. All aspects get better and complete.
Normally, when you start eating healthy you can quickly feel the improvements, but perhaps you will get the impression that nothing changes. The truth is, in the end of the year you will look back and everything will be different. For good!
Do not give up! Because great things take time, require effort and work.
Be friends with your kitchen and don't be afraid to experiment. The point number one is fresh ingredients and homemade recipes. Start with simple things and say goodbye to white sugar.
Nuts & quinoa granola with coconut yogurt
- 100gr coconut pulp
- 2 tbsp coconut water
- 1 tbsp grated coconut
- 1 capsule probiotic
- 1 cup fresh nuts
- 1 cup quinoa flakes
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
- 1 tsp coconut butter
For the yogurt, mix all the products in a blender until soften silk. Pour it in a hermetic container, cover it with a dishcloth and let it rest in a complete dark place. 12 hours later, open the jar and your yogurt is ready to eat.
For the granola, preheat the oven at 160º. Crack the fresh nuts and place them in a bowl together with the quinoa flakes. Add the coconut butter and the syrup, stir carefully with a wooden spatula until you create big crispy flakes.
Cover an aluminum tray with baking paper, place the granola on top and let it bake for about 20 min, until golden toast.
Every bite is a crunchy explosion of delicious flavor and health. The well-being of your new mornings.
Happy January!

So for what I have seen recently in MediaMe, Mr Copy Right & Left, aka Fadi Yaish, is STILL working with FP7 and it seems that he still got awesome budgets to produce ads, if i can believe this one for example:
WOW Berlitz has a nice budget indeed. Where was this ad released? How come a guy that was the shame of the industry is still working with the same agency?Looks like the scandal that came through him was well known from the top management before it happened! What about the nice speech of the CEO of FP7 after the scandal happened?
Make an easy test. Google "scandal FP7" or "shame FP7" and you will know what i am talking about.
And AdsOfTheWorld.com still accepts to publish these ads too! They used to have a strict policy.
AndMediaMe republishing this as well.
Get a Xerox and ghost clients and self proclaim yourself creative director!!!

The girl schools all across the district here gave a deserted and forlorn look, following the militants' threats for a total close down of the girl schools from today, while the government is seen apathetic to this horrible situation. All the girl schools have accordingly been closed on the dictates of the militants in the district here in Swat, while the parents of the children are facing great difficulties, as the militants' given deadline has expired from yesterday and much to the shock of the parents the local administration, provincial and federal governments have thus far failed to come forward with any strategy for saving the academic careers of these unfortunate girls and vexed parents. Some parents finding no alternative have started migrating to other parts of the country for education of their girl-children, while the poor parents having obtained the school transfer certificates of their children still wondering where to take them for the continuation of their studies. EDO Education, Sher afzal Khan told Geo News that the provincial governments had been apprised of the threats of the Taliban and the difficulties of the citizens due to the girl schools' forced closure in the district, but the provincial government has not yet come out with their final decision in this regard. The government schools are to open in March, while the private schools managements in their discussions with the district administration had expressed their fears that they could not continue teaching the girls in view of the threats of the Taliban and for security reasons, however, the district administration had advised the private schools to continue taking classes of the girls as usual.

Server Room Monitoring Systems
When it comes to critical environments like server rooms and datacentres you need the right monitoring solution and one that allows both local and remote management and control of your IT and associated hardware. Our monitoring solutions can alert for temperature, humidity, water, tamper, cooling, power, intrusion and security issues that could disrupt operations. Our room monitoring solutions include room and rack level solutions and remote site 24/7 system monitoring.
Server Room Temperature Monitoring Solutions
One of the principle aspects of any critical IT environment to monitor is the temperature and humidity. Server rooms and datacentres typically house many thousands of pounds of IT hardware, processing and storing data. Whether this is within an enterprise-type datacentre or Co-location (Colo) datacentre, it is imperative to monitor the temperature within the room.
A rise in air temperature can indicate a failure within the HVAC cooling system or a hot-spot within a server cabinet or in-row server cabinets which could lead to server failure or a potential fire hazard. Early indication of a temperature rise allows early intervention and diagnostics which can lead to the saving expensive equipment (shutdown to prevent damage) and the continuous operation of the IT facility. High humidity can also indicate potential failures in the HVAC system leading to corrosion, rusting of metal surfaces and contacts and damage from water leaks in the cooling/sprinkler system. High server room humidity can also lead to static electricity build-up which can result in hardware damage.
Server Rack Monitoring Systems
A server room monitoring system from Server Room Environments will consist of a set of sensors, a monitoring platform and software package including the following elements:
- Door contact sensors (entry doors and server racks)
- Air movement, sound, temperature and humidity sensors
- Server room temperature alarm
- Fuel and leak detection with extra-length sensor cables to reach other rooms and voids
- Rack temperature sensor
- Installation formats including rack mount, wall mount and server cabinet pole mount
- Sensor powering via Power over Ethernet (PoE), USB or DC power cables (12/24/48Vdc)
- A central server room monitoring platform with built-in dry signal contacts, front panel LCD (OLED) and interface options including: electrical power, lighting, security and fire alarms. The central monitoring platform may have its own built-in battery backup or be protected by a UPS system and may store data locally on drive/memory set or upload on a regular basis to a Cloud-based platform. The data should also be available in real-time for an instant overview.
- A server room monitoring software package that can be configured for use with tri-band GSM modems and SNMP TCP/IP or Modbus TCP network interfaces (hardwired or WiFi) for remote alerts (via text message, telephone call or email) and Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) packages including Schneider, Emerson, IO, Nlyte, iTracs, HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, CA, BMC, IO, Modius, MRTG, Cacti, Nagios, Zenoss, ManageEngine, Ipswitch WhatsUp, Paessler PRTG, Solarwinds and many more.
When an alarm condition occurs it is important to get a quick overview in order to assess the situation and decide on a course of action. For this, Server Room Environments can also provide a visual link via a web-cam or IP-camera video connection into the room.
Typical applications for an environment monitoring system include:
- Server rooms
- Datacentres
- Telecoms switch rooms
- Security/CCTV equipment rooms
- HVAC closets
- Stand -alone server racks
- Industrial cabinets
The Internet of Things and rise of Edge computing places a greater reliance on localised IT systems whether coupled to Cloud computing or not. Server Room Environments can provide local and remote monitoring at the room, rack and critical system levels to ensure system uptime and connectivity.
For more information on our server room monitoring solutions please contact our project team.

The snow is back! It's not as apparent on blogs with a white background but it never fails to make everything look cheerier!
I found this place while surfing instagram and seeing a fellow Seattlelite's pictures of the chicken rice. Chicken rice is one of the most iconic Singaporean dishes that's extremely difficult to get just right, and I was pretty excited to find it in Seattle, in this tiny little Thai diner in Capitol Hill.
We started with the taro and shiitake spring rolls, which were really nice with their plum sauce.
The tom yum soup was alright but nothing really special. I still don't get why so many Thai places here use white button mushrooms instead of straw mushrooms. This was quite a large portion and very nice on a cold day. As you can see from the photo they also have these very nice concrete slab table tops.
The chicken rice was sadly nothing like Singaporean chicken rice. So I thought maybe this is how Thai style chicken rice is done, but then we did that road trip to Portland and tried Nong's Khao Man Gai and that is also nothing like this one. For starters Manao Thai slices their breast meat thin before boiling it, without even velveting the meat so it was kind of tough. Typical chicken rice chicken is poached to very precise timings so it's not overcooked. It's also only sliced after the entire chicken has been poached, not before cooking. The rice here is not cooked in chicken broth, rather it's just fried rice. Very oily, but no chicken taste. Oh well. I'm sure the other dishes here will be better but we didn't have room to try them all.
Down a couple of blocks is this wonderful chinese bakery that I like to get chinese-style cream cakes from. This is their coffee cake, which doesn't mean the same thing as when americans say "coffee cake". The cake is actually flavoured with coffee, unlike the cinnamon flavored travesty they call coffee cake in grocery stores here. Which I take to mean goes with coffee instead of being coffee flavoured, and doesn't all cake go with coffee? Anyway this has the lightest coffee flavoured buttercream sandwiched by vanilla sponge.
Regent Bakery also does a very nicely marbled matcha mousse (not a cheesecake, which is great since I don't eat cheesecake) but their mousse cakes tend to have a thin layer of gelatinous substance on top to prevent the mousse from drying out. Even their ganache is a little on the gelatinous side. But their sponge is so fluffy and light and so is their buttercream. They have an assortment of chinese buns like polo buns, pork floss buns, buns with cheese and ham and corn, etc. One of my favourite things here is the coffee flavoured short bread cookies with almond slivers. You HAVE to try them, they are so light and delicate and buttery!

By Anne-Marie Suddreth
I was raised by a brilliant woman. She couldn't play a sport to save her life, but she played piano so beautifully that by age 8 she was made backup for the church pianist. An insatiable reader from early childhood, she earned a graduate degree in English and taught at the college level for years. She was beloved by her students who frequently kept in touch long after class ended. Her coworkers gushed about her extraordinary teaching skills and gift for writing. She returned to school years later to pursue School Counseling and no one was surprised at her remarkably high grades and evaluations. As a school counselor in rural North Carolina schools, she quickly worked her way into the hearts of students and staff alike.
My mother was genuinely loved and respected. She was one of the most moral and compassionate people I've ever known. When she died suddenly at the age of 50 there was a larger crowd present at her memorial service than she would ever have predicted and many tears were shed. Countless people shared how special she had been in their lives.
The Great Mystery of my mother, though, was how she struggled with a pervasive and handicapped sense of being "not good enough." She was amazing and I told her this regularly, imploringly. I would point out the evidence that she was invaluable to myself and others. Ultimately, though, she never could accept she was worthy of love and belonging. Her fundamental sense of being was fatally flawed. It created within her an isolated, pained and lonely woman. She was unable to feel the deep connection that others felt for her. It robbed her of relationships, happiness and ultimately her health.
The Past Behind the Woman
After her death, I found a treasure trove of her personal writing. One day, like a needle in a haystack, I found the missing piece. My mother had been sexually abused for many years as a child. This was a profound revelation. It was perhaps THE big key to the enigma that was my mother, but I did not yet understand the scope of what it meant.
Six years later, I was doing an internship for my Clinical Psychology program at the local community mental health center. I saw a wide range of clients and began to see a pattern of qualities which was startlingly familiar. I saw them often and in people from all walks of life. I began to understand what "trauma" meant and the myriad ways it manifested.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Trauma becomes like the elephant in the room, or "the elephant in the brain," as I sometimes say. At the most severe end of the spectrum is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Many people are aware that this sometimes plagues veterans of war. However, PTSD is not limited to military veterans.
Anyone who has experienced or witnessed the threat of death, violence, or injury is at risk of posttraumatic stress. This includes sexual assault and abuse, estimated to affect as many as 1 in 4 women. There is no "statute of limitations," either. An experience from years ago, even in childhood, can impact your functioning decades later as an adult.
Dr. Francine Shapiro, a prominent figure in trauma research and treatment, distinguishes between " big T" and "little t" traumas. Big "T" traumas are what we immediately think of as traumatic: war, rape, murder, etc. Little "t" traumas are life events that cause us pain such as being harassed or outcast as a child, working with a verbally abusive boss or partner, or public humiliation. Many people are surprised to find their brains have processed those events similarly to a big Trauma. In fact, sometimes little traumas are more insidious because we tend to fail to recognize old memories as affecting us. After all, they weren't "Traumas." But they could be and the results involve significant pain and dysfunction.
It is possible to be affected by symptoms of post-traumatic stress without experiencing full PTSD. Symptoms vary, but they affect both the mind AND the body. Some are intrusive such as nightmares, recurrent memories of the event, and intense distress or anxiety after being exposed to a reminder of the event, called "triggering". Sometimes the trigger is obvious; other times you just notice a sudden negative mood, such as guilt, shame, anger, fear, horror, irritability. When symptoms are intense and unpleasant, individuals tend to avoid the people, places, things, certain thoughts or feelings that may act as reminders. The problem with avoidance is that it can interfere with daily life and interpersonal relationships. The brain will not allow us to avoid them forever.
Trauma also affects thinking and concentration. Flashbacks are a state where the brain and body relive the event. Memory problems are not uncommon particularly in regard to memories of a specific event. Also, there can be episodes of 'losing time' in the present because of disassociation or flashbacks. One of the symptoms I see most often is the deep ingrained distorted sense of self and the world as in "I'm bad" or "It was my fault." This leaves survivors feeling alienated or disconnected from others.
Finally, trauma can cause the body feel stuck in an "on alert" mode, where the body is always looking out for a threat. Do you startle easily or jump when you hear a loud noise? Do you have trouble sleeping? All of these are symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
How PTSD Operates
How does post-traumatic stress happen? What makes these memories seem to take over our rational mind so completely? The answer is in how the event was processed in the brain at the time it occurred.
Meet the amygdala. It is a relatively small almond-shaped structure in the brain that is key to registering and processing emotion, particularly fear. If a grizzly bear starts running toward you it is the amygdala which activates your fight, flight, or freeze response. It has saved countless lives by perceiving threat and emotion and helping us act accordingly.
When the amygdala is "overactivated" in duration or intensity, the ability to process those events appropriately is compromised. Think of a story from your life that is slightly negative and notice the lack of anxiety or discomfort. The lack of a negative response means the memory was processed appropriately. When an event is life threatening, the amygdala and its partner, the hippocampus may be so overwhelmed they cannot process and direct emotional information away from places of primal fear. Whenever the brain is reminded of that event in any way, the amygdala becomes aroused again. The original thoughts are reactivated and the body re-experiences some of the physical sensations which accompanied the event. All of this happens to varying degrees at different times, depending on the traumatic experience itself. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to return to your original state by an act of will alone.
Recovery and Treatment
In order to recover from trauma, both physical and psychological symptoms must be addressed. Medication cannot do this long-term. Many doctors have been taught to prescribe tranquilizers and sleep medication to calm the nervous system. It is not enough if you want to truly heal.
Anyone who is working to recover from trauma needs to know there is no quick fix. Meditation, psychotherapy, yoga, and bibliotherapy (writing therapy) have all been shown to reduce symptoms of PTSD and post-traumatic stress. But many people find that it is not enough.
One therapy modality which addresses both the physical and psychological effects of posttraumatic stress is called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In essence EMDR allows for the reprocessing of those traumatic memories in such a way they no longer activate the intensity of the emotional center of the brain. For example, a train engineer was rolling down the tracks one day when a young pregnant woman jumped in front of his train and committed suicide.
For weeks he couldn't sleep, couldn't stop "seeing" her jump in front of the train and felt the sheer terror of the moment and could not go back to work. With some EMDR therapy, he was able to get back in the driver's seat. He did not forget what happened, but reminders of the incident no longer shut him down physically and emotionally. He was able to return to his life and move on.
For "simpler" traumas (e.g., car accidents) in people without a previous history of significant trauma, EMDR is often a faster method of treatment. There is more processing work in cases of complex, intense, or prolonged trauma. Furthermore, EMDR may not be the end of the healing process. However, EMDR has been the key to moving on for many vets, civilians, adults of all ages and children. I've witnessed its power in many of my own clients. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I only wish my mother had access to this kind of work.
If you or someone you love is dealing with trauma, it is critical you understand it is not a weakness or personal flaw. It is an issue created by the neurological system in response to an intense event. If you've never sought help for it — please do! If you have sought help and haven't experienced the kind of healing you desire — keep trying something new. There is always room for change and growth.

This is the second in our new e-newsletter series with monthly profiles of our families and updates on our programs.
Ana Romero is the mother of Giselle Iglesias, a kindergartener at Scotchtown Hills Elementary School.
Giselle is her oldest child. They attended all six fall Great Start sessions.
Giselle was never in school or day-care before she started kindergarten. That was a concern, because I knew there were kids who knew a little bit more than her. I didn't want her to feel discouraged about learning. So that's why I signed up for Side by Side. I said, "This is a great opportunity."
Giselle didn't know many of her sight words or her letters when she first started. At first she knew how to sing the letters of the alphabet, but if I pointed out a random letter, she wouldn't really know it. Side by Side gave us ideas of how to learn them in a fun way. I bought a carpet mat that has the whole alphabet. Giselle loves it. She will step on a letter and tell me the letter. It's a huge help. I also do flash cards with her, and that helps out too. The sight words I put on flash cards, and I help her pronounce them. These are things I learned from Side by Side.
For math we use the dice. We throw the dice, and I tell her how many dots are on each and I have her add them up. We also use the number line from 1 to 20. We also use the bean bag to throw on a number and then we go to the number line to add. It is very helpful.
The discipline tips have been very helpful. Giselle loves stickers. So let's say, she has to put her toys away. Sometimes before it would be hard for her to listen to me. When I introduced the stickers, I said, "You clean your toys and I'll give you a sticker." And she would do it without hesitation.
In the beginning when I would help her with her homework and she wouldn't do a few things, I would get frustrated. In the discipline sessions, I learned how to keep calm. We are both a little sad about it ending until the fall, but we're definitely looking forward to next year.
On April 29th, we hosted our annual Ride & Stride at the beautiful National Wildlife Center. Unlike last year, our riders were able to finish the entire ride without a downpour! Thanks to the generosity and hard work of our bike riders and our hike striders, we raised over $3,500. See you next year!

When we have camped at Ellendale Dam in the past we have invariable been woken by Blue-winged Kookaburras and they are often the last bird to call out as the sun drops below the horizon. The call of the Blue-winged Kookaburra is not the laugh of the Laughing Kookaburra, but a more manic sound. In fact they may not even call at all and despite their size they may well be overlooked if they are sitting quietly in a tree. Quite often at home we likely overlook them if they don't call out, but if they do call around sunrise you are guaranteed to wake up.
Sitting on the banks of Ellendale Dam a Blue-winged Kookaburra landed in the tree beside us and swooped several times down into the mud looking for food. Blue-winged Kookaburras eat insects, reptiles and frogs and this bird would often collect quite a large mass of wet and muddy leaves with its food. It would then drop the muddy leaves and keep the food. The Blue-winged Kookaburra was not alone in the trees and we were quite surprised to see a Yellow-tinted Honeyeater take it on. The Yellow-tinted Honeyeater was acting very aggressively towards the Blue-winged Kookaburra, but there was little reaction to the aggression. There were at least two Blue-winged Kookaburras feeding at Ellendale Dam last time we camped there.
Blue-winged Kookaburra and a Yellow-tinted Honeyeater
The Blue-winged Kookaburra has a very large bill and it is clear from the photos below it was getting quite muddy in the process of feeding on the edge of the dam.
Blue-winged Kookaburra
The other excitement at Ellendale Dam the past two years has been the arrival of at least one freshwater crocodile. During the floods of the wetter months of the year where the dam became a mass of water with the main highway going through it the freshwater crocodiles moved in. During the day you can observe them in the dam or on the grassy banks. The bird-life does not appear to be too concerned about their presence. It is obviously advisable to keep a tidy and clean campsite so as not to attract them too close.
Freshwater crocodile
There's nothing like a bit of "danger" when you are camping in the bush!
What a spectacular bird! I would have definitely kept a clean and tidy campsite with that crocodile nearby!
Yes, we agree….great birds and not always as vocal as you might think! It almost looks as if they stole their bill off a stork!
