Nourish innovator Travis Durham and his long-term care organization Grove Park Home was awarded the Advantage Ontario's 2018 Innovation and Excellence Award, which recognizes innovative programs or techniques in workplace quality and the provision of care or services for seniors.
Nourish led Travis Durham, who was already passionate about obtaining local produce for resident meals, to lead several projects including a resident-focused vegetable garden and on-campus honey production. He started honey production in the spring of 2017, where he invited a local honey producer, Dickey Bee Honey, as an educator and end-producer. Since then, a private honey label was created with 300 jars of honey produced for sale to the community, leaving enough honey for his resident population for meal service and food production. Travis also wrote an article how to introduce beekeeping and honey production to health care here.
Travis also led the creation of an on-site vegetable garden by collaborating with a local company The Growing Connection, which donated a dozen Caja garden boxes, initial supplies and start up labour. The garden boxes were placed on concrete blocks in an enclosed center garden, and a ramp created to make the garden accessible to the resident population. Since then, residents have been encouraged by Manager Barb Caicco's Life Enrichment staff to spend time in the gardens tending to weeds and picking fresh vegetables. All of the vegetables have been used in the preparation of resident meals. As a next step, the Resident Leadership Team has announced that they will fund the purchase of an additional one dozen garden boxes, start up supplies and labour for Spring 2018.
Travis and his winning organization was presented with a framed certificate and a $1,000.00 cash award at the 2018 Annual General Meeting & Convention at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto.

By: Agnes Lovasz and David McIntyre
July 18 (Bloomberg) -- The yen rose as losses on Bear Stearns Cos. hedge funds prompted investors to reduce purchases of financial assets funded by borrowing in Japan.
The Japanese yen advanced against 15 of the 16 most-actively traded currencies as investors scaled back so-called carry trades. The dollar touched a record low against the euro earlier after Bear Stearns told investors in two of its hedge funds they will get little if any money back after losses related to U.S. subprime mortgages.
``Risk appetite is starting to pull back and the potential is that it starts to hurt the carry trade,'' said Ian Stannard, a currency strategist at BNP Paribas SA in London. ``That's positive for the yen.''
Against the dollar, the yen climbed to 122.13 as of 7:19 a.m. New York, from 122.34 late yesterday. It also gained versus the euro, to 168.35 from 168.59. The dollar declined to an all- time low of $1.3833 per euro from $1.3781 in New York yesterday, and last traded at $1.3785.
The yen recovered from a 21-year low versus the New Zealand dollar to trade at 96.58 from 96.63. It rebounded from a 15-year trough against the pound to 250.28 from 250.40 late yesterday.
Investors have favored New Zealand and the U.K. for carry trades because the two countries have interest rates as much as 7.5 percentage points higher than Japan's 0.5 percent rate, the lowest among industrialized countries.
Dollar Declines
The dollar fell to a 26-year low of $2.0548 per pound and weakened to 87.85 cents against the Australian dollar, the lowest since February 1989.
Defaults on loans by homeowners with poor credit histories have deepened a housing market slump that threatens to curb U.S. economic growth. Data later today will show U.S. builders broke ground at an annual pace of 1.45 million new homes last month, down from a 1.474 million rate in May, a Bloomberg survey showed.
Financial industry losses caused by subprime mortgage defaults and the housing slowdown may be addressed by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke at his two-day semi-annual testimony to Congress starting at 10 a.m. in Washington
A Fed trade-weighted index measuring the dollar's foreign- exchange value fell this week to the lowest since its inception in 1971. The U.S. Trade Weighted Major Currency Index, measuring the currency's performance versus seven currencies, fell to a record low of 77.24 on July 16 and was at 77.29 yesterday.
``Breaking through those levels marks a new stage of the weak dollar trend,'' said Koji Fukaya, senior currency strategist in Tokyo at Deutsche Securities. ``The dollar's depreciation may accelerate.''
Euro May Stall
The euro's gains against the dollar may stall, according to charts traders use to predict future price movements.
The 14-day relative strength index against the dollar was 75.19 today. The index has been above 70, a level which signals the currency is overbought and may be due for a reversal, for a seventh session.
The common European currency faces resistance at $1.3816 and $1.3886, where sell orders are clustered, said Sundararajan Srinivasa, a technical analyst at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in London, in a note to clients.
Any yen gains may be limited by speculation the Bank of Japan will delay raising interest rates while it gauges the impact of subprime loan defaults. The U.S. is Japan's largest export market.
Some BOJ board members said it's necessary to watch the U.S. housing market, according to minutes of the June meeting released today. While some officials said consumer prices excluding fresh food will rise in the long term, others said lower oil prices will exercise ``stronger downward pressure'' on core prices, the minutes showed.
The central bank's board voted unanimously to keep rates unchanged at that meeting. The BOJ decided 8-1 to keep policy on hold on July 12.
``The market has priced in a rate increase in August, but the BOJ may not move until September,'' said Kengo Suzuki, a currency strategist at Shinko Securities Co. in Tokyo.
I'm still waiting on the sideline. Only 1 set of buy hedge opened that is near breakeven. EUR/CHF is at overbought zone on 1h chart, back to the previous lower channel support turned resistance. 4h chart indicators pointing up, might still have some room for the upside before making a correction down. Long term or the daily chart is still bear bias.
If you look closer to EUR/CHF 4h chart, you might see a semi-declining channel forming, and price is at the top channel.

The impending move towards the direct involvement of governing bodies in the appraisal of headteachers is a major change which has attracted precious little debate.
When such involvement was first mooted in the period leading up to statutory appraisal, heads' associations and others expressed fierce opposition to the idea.
Those in favour of local authority involvement argued that inspectors were much more favourably placed than governors to have an overview of headteacher development needs and of the provision available to meet those needs.
There was also, however, the underlying issue of the relationship of appraisal to pay, and the role of the governors in this respect. The government circular (1291) that accompanied the Education (School Teacher Appraisal) Regulations 1991 stated: "There will be no direct or automatic link between appraisal and promotion or additions to salary. But it is legitimate and desirable for headteachers to take into account information from appraisals, along with other relevant information, in advising governors on decisions on promotions and pay."
While this appeared to relate more obviously to class teachers, there were obvious implications for heads. After all, the 1991 regulations laid down that: "In the case of a headteacherI the appraisers shall provide a copy of the appraisal statement to the chairman of the governing body of the school. "
As governors were also in a position to determine the movement of a headteacher's pay on the salary spine, some people argued that close involvement of governors in the appraisal process would make heads extremely unlikely to draw attention to their own weaknesses. This could, in turn, preclude that very development of heads that advocates in the early stages claimed was one of its aims.
Research into headteachers' perceptions of these and linked issues in the period leading up to the introduction of appraisal showed that most heads were strongly opposed to the involvement of governors.
Recently we have interviewed heads and local authority appraisal co-ordinators, in research funded by the Nuffield Foundation to evaluate the progress of headteacher appraisal in three LEAs in the Midlands. Once again, this reveals clear evidence of a desire to keep governors at arm's length.
There was also some indication of collusion by all concerned. Not only were the heads and the co-ordinators keen to play down governor involvement, but some of the chairs of governors were allegedly happy to remain relatively uninformed of the processes or outcomes.
Even in some of the cases where appraisal statements were passed on to chairs (and this was not always the case despite the 1991 regulations), they were so brief as to be uninformative.
Three documents that appeared in 1996 are likely to change this picture dramatically, however. The joint Teacher Training AgencyOffice for Standards in Education report Review of Headteacher and Teacher Appraisal says: "Effective management systems incorporateI a responsibility for governors in the appraisal of the headteacher, either through the chair or another nominated governor chairing an annual appraisal review meeting."
This follows OFSTED's report, The Appraisal of Teachers 1991 to 1996, which commented fav-ourably on the common practice in grant-maintained schools of making the chair of governors one of the head's appraisers.
"The involvement of governors in the appraisal of headteachers has been the greatest in grant-maintained schools, where they have often welcomed the insights this has provided on the work of the headteacher," the report says.
The DFEE regulations on head and deputy headteacher salaries from the school year 199697 (described in circular 496) willtie governors into the appraisal of headteachers much more tightly because movement on the salary spine for heads will be expressly linked to the performance on appraisal targets approved by governors. Until now, even those chairs of governors who were informed of their headteacher appraisal outcomes have often been reluctant to share this information with other governors.Circular 1291 expressly states that "all those with access to appraisal statements should treat them as confidential".
This statement was perceived by many as meaning confidential to the chair and not a matter for general discussion among governors. This may help to explain the causes of the apparent exasperation of OFSTED and the TTA at what they regard as "the wide misinterpretation of the confidentiality of targets".
Their report continues: "This has led to a failure to ensure that appraisal is linked to school training and development plans, and has hampered plans for improvement in the quality of teaching and the performance of the school as a whole."
In other words, it is being made abundantly clear that while the detailed discussions at appraisal reviews may be confidential, the targets set for headteachers, in this case, are to be seen as open at least to governor scrutiny. Indeed, salary reviews by governing bodies from now on would be improper if governors were not all aware of these targets.
The implications of the 1996 TTA and OFSTED reports may well be that governors will replace local authority advisersofficers in the headteacher appraisal process. The appraising team would then normally comprise the chair of governors and another headteacher.
This body would tacitly accept the reality of the shrinking numbers of local authority inspectors and advisers, acknowledged in the OFSTED report. This perception has already led to advisers withdrawing almost entirely from the headteacher appraisal process in one of the LEAs which were interviewed.
The reasons advisers and inspectors were judged as better placed than governors to appraise heads, and the fears of some headteachers that some governing bodies will take a restrictive view of their appraisal, and be much more concerned with the achievement of short-term targets which can be more easily measured than the longer-term personal and professional development of the head, remain cogent.
But perhaps the Government in 1997 is close to achieving, by a process of local authority attrition, the governing body involvement it feared it might not achieve - by direct confrontation - during the early 1990s.

Rising Stars
When they were locked in an old State Department IT platform, reports on 280 overseas posts — filled with information such as where to go for food and what not to do in a given country — were not doing Foreign Service officers or interagency employees any good.
Enter Eric Brassil.
His vision for innovation is why those now-updated reports are the most widely tapped resource on Diplopedia, the department's internal wiki used by 60,000 employees.
Read about all of the winners
"Those reports were supposed to be updated annually because that crucial and essential information can change so quickly," Brassil said. "But on the old platform, it was stagnant and not being used anymore. Now it has new life."
Brassil wears several hats for State and is most proud of the work he does that directly affects department personnel around the world. As deputy lead for Diplopedia, he is always looking for new ways for State employees to create and share useful content. He is also the principal adviser on IT needs for State's Bureau of Information Resource Management, which serves 900 office management specialists, and he is the engagement coordinator in the bureau's Office of eDiplomacy, where he promotes the adoption of online collaborative tools and other programs.
On any given day, he might oversee training for thousands of users or brief senior officials. In his two short years at State, he has earned high acclaim from superiors and colleagues.
"Eric Brassil has the maturity of vision and capacity to lead of an employee high above his present position," said Robert Watts, senior engagement adviser in the Office of eDiplomacy. "With only a few years of experience in the Foreign Service, he shows great dedication, energy and initiative."

Weight-loss, Nigella & my own goddess-girl journey...
Okay, so Nigella Lawson, my idol-girl in all things fabulous, has been reported today as saying that even though g-friends curves are in ALL the right places, she too worries about her weight, saying it's simply a thing that girls do.
Now, I HATE the word 'diet' and banished it from my world years ago, but I think, as much as it sucks to say it out loud, she's right, we do worry about it. We are constantly bombarded with media images of what the perfect body 'should' be, celebs are circled with big red rings if they show a dimply thigh, being a size 0 is celebrated - which is really quite ridiculous, mainly because if you're a size 0 that equates to literally nothing. It's like women don't want to take up any space in the world AT ALL. That makes me crazy-sad. I've been overweight since I was 13. I turned to food when my parents split up and it's been my comfy blanket, my friend that I turn to when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm angry, when I'm tired, ever since.
Before I continue, while I've always been overweight, I just need to put it out there that it's NEVER stopped me doing anything in life, I've travelled, I've dreamed big dreams and made them happen, I've hung out with celeb-types, I've developed an innate ability to accessorise, I've never been short of attention from the male population, but the one thing I've not been is healthy. I've had phases of doing what I think is healthy, but actually, eating low fat microwave meals doesn't really count, who knew?! Now, as some of you may know, I started on a gorgeous goddess-girl journey earlier this year due to endrometriosis, but even then, I was still kinda playing at it. Yep, I joined the gym, yep, I started to eat different foods, and yep, it deffo made a difference, but I was still eating crazy-big portions and telling myself I could have an extra portion of chicken wings at TGI Friday because I'd done 20 minutes on the cross-trainer...
Most people say it takes a big event to make the actual 'I want to change this up' mind-shift - mine were a series of small events that accumulated into a big substantial sized arse-kick. I won't bore you with all of them, but I'm thinking the ones that had the MOST influence were:
1. A waitress in London stroking my belly and asking when it was due, and that was BEFORE I'd had my dinner. 2. The beau and I talking in-depth about having children and at the weight I was with endrometriosis, it just wasn't going to happen. 3. Having a wardrobe of never-been-worn size 16 dresses o' loveliness, yet two outfits in a size 22 that I had to alternate on a daily basis. (Don't get it twisted, I accessorised those bad boys as if my life depended on it!) 4. A friend being brutally honest and asking me if I was happy to always be known as the chubby girl with the pretty face and accessories.
Anyway, on the 6th May, I made a decision. I was going on a goddess-girl journey of self-exploration. I've been keeping a daily journal, which I'll be sure to share with you, or may even turn into a book - who knows? - A journey where I'd look at everything I do to my body, both inside and out. It's become a HUGE project, which I'm just at the beginning of right now. Now, I'd love to be able to say I was truly happy at a size 22, but I'd be lying. I was as happy as I could be, and anyone who knows me will tell you that I still rocked my Sass because you can do that no matter what dress size you are, but I wanted to know what it felt like to be healthy, really healthy, to be free from emotional eating, to be able to know enough about the food industry that I could make informed choices about what I decided to put in my body. FYI: I don't know how that feels yet, but I'm working on it!
Since May 6th, I've released 40lb, and I'm now a size 18. This is all truly fabulous, but my goddess-girl journey has turned out to be much more than weight release, and I can't wait to share it all with you! People keep asking me what my secret is, but there's no secret, what I'm doing right now is completely re-educating myself. I am reading nutrition/fitness books til they come out my ears, my fave is: Slim for Life it's truly brilliant and life-changing, I'm learning all about Ayurveda and conscious eating, I eat less and do more because that really is the only way to actually release weight, I swim every other day, I do pilates, I meditate, I dry brush my skin, I'm basically being good to myself, which I THOUGHT I was being by feeding myself chocolate and cupcakes, but now I really am, by giving my body the stuff it actually needs!
Disclaimer: I'm not claiming to be an expert, angelic-sounding or a guru - I'm literally just sharing my story s'far on my own personal journey. I may eat chocolate and cake in the foreseeable future. Then again, I may not. That's the beauty o' being me.

The acute nursing shortage at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital will shortly be resolved.
Minister of Health Donville Inniss this afternoon announced that the severe pressure being experienced by the QEH, due to an inadequate nursing staff, particularly in the Accident & Emergency Department, should soon be significantly eased, as the hospital starts advertising for more nurses from this weekend.
The disclosure by Inniss was made while he addressed the graduation ceremony of the "Competence-based Instructional Design Facilitation and Assessment Workshop and Urgent Care Training Course" in the auditorium of the QEH. He revealed that only last Tuesday, he met with the hospital's Director of Medical Services, Dr. David Callender, during an impromptu visit to the A&E to see first-hand what the daily complaints regarding long delays were all about.
"We were able to have an impromptu discussions about nursing, the Human Resource Department of the QEH and the medical staff in particular, to understand once again the challenges that confront that department, especially in relation to the availability of nurses for A&E; and I believe that a solution is underway," he said.
"As early as this weekend," he continued, "the Queen Elizabeth Hospital has been asked to advertise for additional nurses to help ease the pressure here, in this institution."
However, Inniss suggested that such an initiative was not going to work for ever.
"My own view is that we have to get it right in the polyclinic system. We have to get it right at the primary care level, if not we will continue to be spinning top in mud

Get ready, Grover Beach — a Styrofoam ban is coming your way
Grover Beach is prepped to become the fifth city in San Luis Obispo County to ban Styrofoam products, with plans put in place to prohibit businesses from using or selling it by summer.
The City Council unanimously approved a ban on expanded polystyrene products (Styrofoam is the more commonly used brand name) at its meeting Monday. The ordinance will now need to come back to the city for a second reading at a meeting later this month before it goes into effect.
San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay and Arroyo Grande have all enacted similar bans in recent years.
"I'm really happy to be the fifth city here," Councilwoman Mariam Shah said during discussion.
Expanded polystyrene, a foam material commonly used to hold food products, is non-biodegradable and can break down into small pieces that litter storm drains, waterways, beaches and the ocean.
The ban will prohibit its use for prepared food and requires food providers to use biodegradable, compostable or recycled food containers instead. It also prohibits vendors and event promoters from selling or providing Styrofoam products.
It also applies to grocery stores and other retailers, meaning you probably won't be seeing those large packets of foam plates and cups on shelves much longer.
The city will allow exemptions based on hardship if a business can demonstrate that it would be fiscally difficult for them to immediately switch to a more environmentally friendly option.
If approved at its next meeting Jan. 22, the ordinance would go into effect July 22, giving local businesses time to use and/or get rid of their expanded polystyrene products.

Sunday, August 23, 2015: Many Waters
Rev. Julia Hamilton
"Mary Gehman is a professor and an author, with a particular interest in the history of Louisiana. I knew her while I was growing up as a fellow member of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans. She could be any one of us here in this room today. In the early morning hours of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept across the city of New Orleans. Mary was caught in the storm. On Tuesday, August 30th she was rescued by boat from the balcony of her flooded house and dropped off on an overpass, with hundreds of other people. She waited on that overpass for three days and nights, with minimal food and water, in the blazing August heat, until finally being transported, again by boat, to the Superdome, with thousands of others who were waiting for evacuation. Eight hours after that, she was on a bus for Dallas and eventual reunification with her family. Several months later, she wrote a full account of what she experienced, and these are excerpts, in her own words."

The Republican Party needs to face up to the fact that politics as usual is no longer an option. The Republican Party has systematically compromised, appeased, and openly bought off the other side too many times. This had the effect of strengthening the other side and harming us as a nation. In the Wiemar Republic the practice of parties making deals with each other was called cattle trading. In present day America we call this bipartisanship. And like the Germans between the wars we are now facing the rise of a totalitarian collectivist political cult with its own divinely appointed leader. If the Republican Party doesn't clean up its act then we as rational citizens will have no choice but to start a new party if we want to peacefully make changes and restore a rational system of government.
The Marxist comrades have suggested that us mere mortals should voluntarily
limit our reproduction in or to limit the emission of carbon dioxide by
human beings. Never mind the fact that carbon dioxide is a natural
component of the terrestrial atmosphere whose quantity has been
discernibly decreasing over the course of geological time. But
because rational persons, who naturally refuse to believe the nonsense
emitted by environmentalists, will not voluntarily limit the number of
children they have -- so that a bunch of moral parasites can feel good
about themselves -- there will be open calls for limitation of
"breeders" by force. This will be followed, by those true believers in
power, by the actual exercise of force to control breeding, through
forced abortions and sterilization. Which in turn will be followed by
the elimination of those "breathers" who are deemed by Environmentalist
Elites (the Elect of Gaia, as it were) to be useless or
"counter-environmental." The nice words for this are subjugation and murder.
should not be the slightest bit surprised that the Environmentalists
will join the ranks of the mass-murderers because they, like the
socialists that they evolved from, basically see productive humans as
livestock to controlled and used. They see us creatures without a right
to live. There's a proper term for those who deny your Right of Life, they are properly called mortal enemies.

Short version: Not completely awful, unless you're a big fan of Nancy Drew from the books and video games.
For this film, I present the inaugural review of my daughter. She saw the film and she is the target audience for Nancy Drew, so I thought it would be appropriate to have her write the review. :-)
At the start of the film we find Nancy Drew (played by Emma Roberts) solving a burglary in her hometown of River Heights. She solves the case and the police catch the burglars.
Her father, Carson Drew, then takes her to California to spend some time at their new vacation home in Los Angeles. He tells her not to solve mysteries at all on their vacation because L.A can be a very dangerous place. Of course Nancy looks for a mystery to solve and soon discovers a house with a big mystery: A missing movie star. While working to solve the mystery, Nancy found that there was a caretaker in the house as well as secret passages in the house. Eventually she also found the movie star's lost daughter and her will. Nancy tries to return the will but someone the movie star might have known will do their best to get in the way.
Finding a clue could prove to be fatal.
Nancy Drew shows how Nancy balances solving a case and attending high school. People who have read Nancy Drew books and are fans of the character will be very annoyed by the fact that the movie version of Nancy makes obvious mistakes (like trying to escape a building while she is in plain view). People who are unfamiliar with Nancy Drew will think it is a fun movie to go see, but because it is not true to the books I rate it two and a half stars.

Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz" LPs present his bizarre, often Kafka-esque stories in the style of the beat poets. On his early albums for Dot, he's backed by the Northern Jazz Quartet, led by Richard Campbell. He later recorded with the Chico Hamilton Quintet, and also served as a vocal coach to Linda Blair during the filming of The Exorcist.
This track from Word Jazz Vol. II puts a positive spin on Nordine's paranoia.

The final blow got here when Turing and Alonzo Church independently proved that no algorithm may exist that decided whether or not an arbitrary mathematical statement was true or false. (Church did this by inventing an entirely different system known as the lambda calculus , which would later inspire computer languages like Lisp) The answer to the choice downside was detrimental.

The Politics Involved in a Massage Therapy Career, when you enrol in a massage school, you should expect to learn the ins and outs of massage therapy and become an expert at it.
Since you have to complete at least 500 hours of training before you can sit for the NMC exam.
There is a good chance that you will know a good amount of what there is to know about performing massages by the time you graduate from massage school.
At massage school, you learn about different types of massages and how to perform them.
You will also learn about the various modalities and the niches you can specialize in.
All of this ensures that you can become a successful professional massage therapist.
But there is one thing that not covered in the courses you take during your massage therapy program.
It is something that you need to mentally prepare for else you might be in for the shock of your life.
The politics involved in a massage therapy career.
The increased level of cutthroat competition in almost every profession means that you need to be prepared to deal with politics.
The same can be said of massage therapy.
Not only does it take time to get good at the profession.
But it also takes time to familiarize yourself with external factors such as politics at work.
Therefore, it is a must that you know about the politics that you may face in a massage therapy career.
Always remember, awareness leads to preparedness.
Alternative Therapy vs. Traditional Therapy – The Politics Involved in a Massage Therapy Career
There is a common view among many massage therapists that their profession shouldn't be considered a part of the alternative care industry.
There are many professions, including chiropractic and acupuncture.
That is considered alternative treatments for pain and other health problems.
If you are a purist when it comes to massage therapy.
There is a good chance that you might develop the same view.
If you believe that this view is somewhat absurd, you may fall in line with the sect which believes that message should be considered traditional therapy.
On the other end of the spectrum are massage therapists who don't consider categorizing massage therapy as a rehabilitation technique.
This is the same view that many therapists have regarding traditional medicine when considering massage therapy a part of alternative medicine.
They feel that massage therapy is not a simple procedure and shouldn't consider as such.
This has led to a dispute between the medical industry and the alternative medicine industry.
The medical industry doesn't consider massage therapy a viable treatment for health problems.
Which is why there is some degree of conflict.
The History of Massage Therapy – The Politics Involved in a Massage Therapy Career
Massage therapy has been around for many years now.
In fact, the first written record of messages being given to people dates back to around 3000 BC in ancient China.
This means that massage therapy has been around for over five millennia, which is almost unbelievable.
The Chinese believed that restoring the balance of energies within the body enabled it to heal itself.
This is what they based their concept of massage on.
From there, the Japanese picked it up and they developed the Shiatsu form of massage.
The basis was the same but new techniques incorporated into the methods followed by the Chinese.
MIST – The Politics Involved in a Massage Therapy Career
During the same time, massage therapy was finding its feet in India.
It has been a part of Ayurveda since the beginning.
They also believed that allowing the body to heal itself was the best way to maintain overall health and wellbeing.
In the same era, the Greeks and Romans also opened up to the value of massage as a means of healing the body.
In fact, Greek scholar Hippocrates said that no one can become a student of medicine before first becoming an expert at massage.
But that was a long time ago. Over the years, particularly in the last century.
So, the techniques and forms of massage therapy have evolved.
There is more science than art to massage therapy now. Modern tools and methods are used to ensure the messages are given in the best way possible.
That being said if one says that message has no healing properties.
It would be doing injustice to the ancients who developed the art and concept of massage during the early years.
However, you may find a few massage therapists who believe that modern message is everything.
They disregard massage therapy as it was in ancient times and believe that ancient techniques have no role to play in modern massage therapy.
This is absolutely wrong.
There is no way massage therapy would have been as strong a field as it is now if it weren't for the effort put in by ancient therapists.
So, if you confronted by any massage therapists who disregard ancient massage.
You should know better than to fall in line with them.
Contemporary Massage – The Politics Involved in a Massage Therapy Career
The fact that some massage therapists believe that modern massage therapy is everything and the ancient massage concepts should disregard doesn't mean that you should do the same.
That being said, there is no doubt that the implementation of a clinical approach to massage therapy and making it more of a science than an art has its merits.
Scientific research has shown that massage therapy has proven effective in treating body ailments, including pains and aches.
Elderly people who are in constant discomfort seek massage therapy as a means of living a more comfortable life.
In addition, massage therapy has also proved effective in boosting the immune system of the people getting massages as well as helping people combat stress.
Stress is the root cause of most health problems people suffer today.
Hence, it wouldn't be wrong to say that massage therapy enables people to enhance their overall health and well-being.
Not only can people save money on medical treatments.
But also beat mental and physical health issues without the need for medicine or surgery.
Despite being a proven fact, the medical community is apprehensive about accepting massage therapy as means of healing and treatment.
Unless this perception changes, you can expect to deal with some degree of politics in the massage therapy industry.
Don't let these petty issues distract you from your career.
You are better off ignoring the politics in the massage therapy industry and instead concentrate on providing quality service to your clients.

By Israel Zwick
In the last few months, a number of my articles have been published
in various pro-Israel websites. I have received many favorable comments
about my articles but my biggest critic has been my wife, Devorah,
whom you already met in a previous article.
You write nice articles, Devorah said to me,
but you are always kvetching. You kvetch about the Arabs, you kvetch
about the Europeans, and you kvetch about the UN. When are you going
to stop kvetching and come up with a solution?
How am I supposed to come up with a solution? I responded.
Dennis Ross couldnt find a solution. Either could Bill
Clinton or Shimon Peres. Nobody understands Ariel Sharons
solution. So how could I come up with a solution?
Listen, she said, you have three Masters
degrees and youre always studying. You can come up with a
But to create a good solution, I would need a lot of data,
I said defensively. I would need data on geography, demographics,
topography, economics, military logistics, and natural resources.
Youre a college teacher, you know how to get data.
she countered, You press a few buttons on your computer and
you get all the data you want. Come up with a solution or stop kvetching.
Its not quite so easy, but Ill tell what Ill
do. The next time we go to Israel to visit our kids, Ill snoop
around a little to get some information. That satisfied her
for a while.
So the next time we went to Israel I embarked on my quest to search
for a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. My friend Steve lives
near the Prime Ministers residence so I figured thats
a good place to start. We saw a few young soldiers sitting around
and chatting so we approached them. They were speaking in Russian,
so we figured that wouldnt work. Suddenly, my friend Steve
exclaimed, Theres one wearing a kipah srugah, lets
try him.
Thats great, I said, Im also wearing
a kipah srugah, so well get along just fine.
I approached the young soldier with my broken Hebrew, Slikha,
khayal. Ani rotze
The soldier interrupted me with his perfect South African English,
How can I help you?
I would like to ask the Prime Minister a question.
Is that so, what would you like to ask him?
Well, you see, Im a writer and Im doing a piece
on the Gaza Strip. I would like to know if he could give me a helicopter
tour of the Gaza Strip like he did with Colin Powell and Tony Blair.
Id love to help you out, but my radio is beeping and
I have to get back to my post.
Strike One! I figured Ill try the public library. They have
to help me over there. I approached the reference desk and a stunningly
attractive Sephardi girl looks up at me and asks, What can
I do for you, sir? For a moment I forgot what I was there
for. When I regained my composure, I said, Im writing
a piece on the Gaza Strip. Could I see the Mossad and Shabak files
on Hamas positions in the area?
So you would like to see Mossad files? she asked politely.
Why dont you give me your name and address and Ill forward
your request directly to Mossad.
That would be fine, I said, Could I also have
your name and address, my friends son is looking for a shidduch.
She pressed a button on her desk and a security guard came over
to escort me out of the building. Strike Two!
Next, I decided to try the Israeli Supreme Court. I figured that
their cases are public domain, so they cant kick me out. I
approached the desk. There was an elderly woman sitting there. I
asked her, Could I see the cases dealing with property rights
in the Gaza Strip?
She looks at me and asks, Are you vun uf dose left people
who vorry about Palestinian rights? Doesnt anyvun vorry anymore
about Jewish rights?
She extended her arm to show me where to go. The tattooed number
on her arm was clearly visible. I headed in that direction, when
suddenly my cell phone rang. Family emergency! While I was gone,
my daughter, Sara, was exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning and
was rushed by ambulance to the hyperbaric chamber at Rambam Medical
Center in Haifa.
I caught the next bus to Haifa. When I arrived at the hospital,
a nurse, wearing a Hijab, came over to greet me. Your daughter
is fine. She is fully conscious. We have to be thankful to Allah
that her husbands Talmud class was suddenly cancelled. He
came home early and was able to revive her.
If you had the patience to read so far, youre probably wondering,
When is this guy going to stop babbling and get to the point?
OK, heres the point: Its time for the State Of Israel
to make an emphatic statement to the nations of the world: For
56 years, we have taken in millions of Jews who needed a home because
they were annoyed, harassed, tormented, persecuted, and incarcerated
in your countries. We absorbed them, housed them, trained them,
integrated them, and returned their self-dignity to them. All without
the help of any UN agencies. In that same time period, you maintained
four generations of Arabs in squalid refugee camps. Hundreds of
millions of dollars were spent on them each year so that they could
perpetuate their dream of taking over the 21,000 square kilometers
of land that is called the State of Israel. You supported their
hatred, their incitement, and their violence, while we became the
focus of your enmity and condemnation.
Now we had enough. We want you to leave us alone. Go attend
to the other 35 ethnic conflicts that are going on around the world.
Go attend to the widespread abuse of women and children around the
world and stop bothering us.
Were willing to make you an offer. If the entire world
is willing to absorb 3 million Arab refugees, well
take the remaining million, with conditions. Let us have the Gaza
Strip and West Bank as part of the internationally recognized boundaries
of the State of Israel. The entire city of Jerusalem will become
the internationally recognized capital of the State of Israel. All
together, we would still have less than 30,000 square kilometers,
about a third of the size of Jordan and a sixth of the size of Syria.
Yet, we would still be willing to take in those million Arabs and
make them full citizens with full democratic rights. You do the
same for the other 3 million. The transfer would be strictly voluntary,
with compensation, and without coercion. That would be the end of
the refugee problem and the end of the conflict.
If that offer isnt good enough for you, then sit down with
us and make a counter offer. Just stop harassing us and let us go
on with our lives. Let us continue to make our valuable contributions
to technology, health care, agricultural science, and water conservation.
Were willing to help you, but you have to leave us alone.
Stop bothering us, because were not going to take it anymore.
Anyway, I had to tell Devorah that I struck out. But the games
not over and Im not giving up.

At present, malwares and 0-day vulnerabilities are frequently used for cyber-attack organizations. However, passive security solutions, such as Firewall, IDS, and AV fail to satisfy up-to-date requirements against such risks. For an efficient defense, it is obligatory to embrace a proactive security approach, which makes it crucial to procure accurate intelligence and knowledge about the techniques, the tactics, and the processes (TTP) of attacker groups. For such a research process, an expert needs to use both Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis abilities.
Reverse Engineering Training for Corporates
Cyber Struggle Corporate Reverse Engineering Certification provides corporations the significant personnel competency to technically enable in-house management of their own analysis processes. The training is at least a five-day program. However, mutual time planning is always considered if there is an additional requirement for a deeper study and understanding of certain courses.

Blogging Once Per Month Is Killing Your Law Firm's Content Marketing Strategy/
Every so often when I move to a new area or investigate a potential client, I notice that they have a blog but that they fail to use it at all.
These are the law firms who post one blog every single month or even less than that. Having a blog that was last updated six months ago, or one that you write in once a month is not going to give you an ROI.
Sometimes the law firms that come to me for quotes on legal content marketing and SEO work will ask why they need to pay a content writer when they have been blogging on their own for a year with no results. Oftentimes when I go back to look at these law firm's blogs, it's the case that they have only updated it once or a few times over that period. Content marketing is all about consistency.
The Value of Wash, Rinse, Repeat for Content Marketing Success
If you are not consistently posting, and posting enough, you will not reap the rewards of a legal marketing strategy online. The right legal marketing strategy involves the creation and publication of unique, high-quality materials over a period of time. Posting once a week will probably not even get you the results that you desire.
Many of my most successful SEO blogging clients are those who post 3 to 5 times per week with information addressing top questions asked by potential clients, updates about changes in the law in their locations, and new stories that reflect their relevant practice areas. This is a very successful legal marketing strategy for a law firm because it encompasses a broad range of different issues that your ideal clients might be searching for already.
I have seen this work time and time again. Do not write off content marketing if your previous experience was that updating your blog or hiring another writer to produce one once a month did not lead to results. This kind of mistaken thinking can be catastrophic for your growth and lead you to believe that there is no benefit to outsourcing to someone else.

The Washington Post has reported that Iran's cyber warfare unit took over the controls of a Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone flying over Eastern Iran and landed it with minimal damage.
As of this writing, the U.S. Air Force hasn't yet confirmed or denied the attack. I've left a message with the on-call PA officer at Creech Air Force Base, which is the home of the 432d Wing which flies RQ-170 Sentinels according to this factsheet.
Creech Air Force Base, as you may recall, suffered a malware infection of its Reaper and Predator Ground Control Stations last October. After Noah Shachtman broke the story, the Air Force issued a press release claiming that the malware was a simple "credential stealer" and not a "keylogger", which is a distinction without a difference as I pointed out here.
Approximately one and a half months after the Air Force issued that statement, Iran claims to have successfully compromised the flying operations of one of its drones - possibly flown out of the same Air Force base.
Iran's Cyber Warfare Capabilities
Note: The following assessment comes from chapter 16 of the 2nd edition of Inside Cyber Warfare, due out this month:
In 2010 the Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) set up its first official cyber warfare division.Since then, its budget and focus has indicated the intention of growing these cyber warfare capabilities.
Education is considered a top priority in the strategy, with increased attention to computer engineering-specific cyber security programs. The IRGC budget on cyber capabilities is estimated to be US$76 million.
The IRGC's cyber warfare capabilities are believed to include the following weapons: compromised counterfeit computer software,wireless data communications jammers, computer viruses and worms, cyber data collection exploitation, computer and network reconnaissance, and embedded Trojan time bombs.
The cyber personnel force is estimated to be 2,400, with an additional 1,200 in reserves or at the militia level. In June 2011 Iran announced that the Khatam al-Anbiya Base, which is tasked with protecting Iranian cyberspace, is now capable to counter any cyber attack from abroad, a claim that will likely be tested soon given the volatile nature of cyberspace.
In August 2011 Iran challenged the United States and Israel, stating that they are ready to prove themselves with their cyber warfare capabilities. Should the Iranian cyber army be provoked, Iran would combat these operations with their own "very strong" defensive capabilities.
In my opinion, the U.S. Air Force needs to respond to this claim by the Iranians quickly and authoritatively because its lackluster conduct regarding the initial infection found at Creech makes this claim by Iran more believable, not less.

Another 500 Jobs Lost Because of HB2?
500 jobs could have been coming to Buncombe County but HB2 has pushed another opportunity away. The fallout from HB2 is hurting NC economically and is keeping hundreds, perhaps thousands of jobs from coming to NC.
Read the fulle editorial from Citizen-Times here:
"The site selectors called us yesterday to say that while they loved Asheville, they loved our team, and loved their last visit here, the company's CEO has said that they will not invest another dime in North Carolina until HB2 is addressed," Cramer said.
"Any hint of discrimination should be scrubbed from the law," she said in remarks to about 140 people at a lunch meeting on the Biltmore Estate with area state legislators. Cramer said the chamber will work with legislators on possible changes.
The primary purposes of HB2 are to strike down an ordinance passed by Charlotte City Council that would prohibit discrimination against LGBT people in employment and public accommodations and to keep other local governments from passing similar rules. The state General Assembly passed the law in a one-day special session March 23 and Gov. Pat McCrory signed it that night.
Cramer implied that Buncombe was a strong possibility for the company's expansion and said afterward that Buncombe is "not completely out of the running" for the project.
Removing "any hint of discrimination" in the sense that Cramer described it would represent almost a 180-degree turn by the General Assembly.
HB2 does touch on other subjects, like preventing local governments from adopting minimum wages or imposing special requirements on contractors, but legislative backers of the law have emphasized overruling the Charlotte ordinance and preventing others like it in the state. They say a major concern is keeping men from having access to women's bathrooms and dressing rooms.

"Lenin" has a serious point to make about the governing party's current orientation:
"Given that New Labour were the ones who tried to stoke up anti-immigrant xenophobia in Crewe and Nantwhich, on the assumption that the 'white working class' is basically racist and authoritarian, we can almost bet that the government will place themselves to the right of the Tories on this question at the general election despite the evident failure of this strategy by yesterday morning"
The supposed "rational kernel" of a xenophobia that New Labour cannot quite will to materialise, is the idea that immigration results in lower wages. Lenin writes:
"When we are told by some who should know better that immigration pushes wages down, empirical refutation isn't difficult to find. For example, a recent study for the Low Pay Unit found that overall pay tends to increase a bit as a result of immigration, although the lowest paid might experience a slight fall."
giving short shrift to the idea that immigration might weaken the bargaining power* of labour. The writers of this study express their conclusions this way:
"although the arrival of economic migrants has benefited workers in the middle and upper part of the wage distribution, immigration has placed downward pressure on the wages of workers in receipt of lower levels of pay. Over the period considered, wages at all points of the wage distribution increased in real terms, but wages in the lowest quarter would have increased quicker and wages further up the distribution would have risen more slowly if it were not for the effect of immigration."
Historically economic immigration tends to be positively correlated with output. Evidently adding to the work force will boost output, but this isn't likely to have constituted the sole or principle reason for rising real wages in recent years, if we accept that such a thing has occured**. The distribution of output largely depends on political factors. The term "wages" in Lenin's formulation is amenable to some ambiguity. Average wages may have increased but workers aren't paid average wages. "Wages" can reasonably taken to mean working class wages, which can rightly be said to have stagnated on account of immigration.
Perhaps Lenin ought to put Marx aside at this stage. For better or worse the sisuation in the UK isn't really consistant with Marx's predictions of a vast proletarian class with the capitalists and their retainers living like plantation owners among their slaves. Instead there's something like a working class amounting to 35% of the population, with perhaps 55% of the population belonging to a middle class whose income is subsidised (tactically or accidentally rather than for reasons of social justice etc) by property income.
Considering the middle class and the working class together as a marxist type proletariat results in the following sort of formulation:
"Marx speaks of reproducing the means of subsistence, but here he clearly refers to a historically produced subsistence as opposed to the minimum amount of nutrition, clothing and so on that one could possibly live with. The means of one's subsistence can include sufficient wages to use the internet, purchase a car, mortgage a house or pay rent on a flat, have the normal range of consumer durables, including a washing machine and perhaps any other labour-saving device that allows you to get to work on time and have sufficient hours after the working day to unwind and recuperate for the next eight hours. It would also include support for a family, which is after all the unit through which the labour is replaced. If you look at the UK national minimum wage, or the US mimimum wage, the level is determined not by reference to some ahistorical level of bare subsistence, but by how much it costs to reproduce one's labour in the here and now"
This implies a kind of social reasoning on behalf of employers that isn't supported by reality. The inclusion in wages of funds that can cover items such as washing machines depends on a number of other factors:
1. the overproduction of these items at lower and lower cost
2. low inflation resulting from persistant real growth
3. the ability of workers to resist wage cuts
all of which depend more on capitalists failing to collude in their own interests than somehow colluding in the workers' interests.
In the absence of effective unions resistance to wage cuts comes down to passive resistance: going off sick, sudden defection from the workplace, working inadequately, refusing to work or being made incapable of work.
Having pointed out that employers are bound to follow this conventional minimum, Lenin introduces a class of employers who do not:
"If the rate [of the minimum wage] is far too low" then "this is a concession to the needs of poverty employers whose margin of profit is slight. In comparing the wages of migrant and 'indigenous' workers, one therefore has to look at the determinants of the cost of labour power."
The problem here comes out of construing middle class wages as working class wages. Hence we end up with the following formulation, bizarrely amenable to the kind of xenophobic nonsense Lenin rightly deplores:
"The combined costs of reproducing one's labour power as a Polish worker is lower than the cost of reproducing one's labour power as a British worker."
and which isn't correct.
Anyway, Lenin's right to advocate "free movement" as a civil liberties issue and to reject the idea of Gaza type walls defending our priviliges as tame retainers of capitalism as detestable and practically impossible.
*Lenin raises a different bargaining power argument here:
"At the moment, European capital supposedly requires 8% unemployment - the 'natural' or 'non-accelerating inflation' rate of unemployment. Anything lower and the bargaining power of labour pushes up the cost of labour power (that's the 'accelerating inflation'), which is disadvantageous to the employers. However, we don't necessarily fancy being appendages to the machinery of capital, and that is what we become when migration is restricted to suit its interests."
The NAIRU is basically nonsense because inflation historically tends to fall as output rises. What the gentlemen advocating its use as a tool for informing policy mean is that given significant inflation capitalist profit depends on aggressive action to reduce the bottom line.
**the calculation of real wages tends to systematically underestimate the costs of housing. The Low Pay Unit believe the cost of accomodation in the UK to amount to £30 per week. pdf

Slim Pickings
"Hi guys,
Been stalking stocks for 2 hours now and in all honesty, i see nothing too exciting. Exact opposite of yesterday! When that happens, I usually like to stay in cash and just watch from the sidelines. Sooner or later something good will pop up on the scans and will jump in but for now, it's best to chill and not force anything and make dumb mistakes. It's been a great start to the week and no need to do something foolish here.
On a side note: Gold and Silver stocks all look a little exhaustive here and could use a few days of resting. So i would NOT chase these names up here. Allow them time to pullback, they always do!"
Boring Day and Choppy
"Be careful out there today guys!
These kinds of choppy waters will eat up commissions and frustrate you. Not much you can do except WAIT. All cash here and waiting for the next set of opportunities to emerge.

There's a lot of information available to entrepreneurs who want to sell their food products at farmers' markets or in stores. With so much to sift through, it's hard to know what's true, what's myth, and what's actually helpful. So here's the real story on 3 food packaging myths you won't have to research anymore.
3 Common Myths About Packaging Materials for Your Food Products Busted
Packaging is unnecessary.
Let's stop and think about this for a second. What does packaging actually do for food — and especially prepared food — from a small food business? Food packaging protects all products from all types of damage including:
- Physical — crushing, bruising, shock and vibration
- Chemical — moisture gain or loss
- Biological — pests, microbes, animals
Packaged food will always have to move from a commercial kitchen to the shop or farmers' market for sale. Then they travel from either the shop or the market to the customer's kitchen table. In other words, it is expected that food products will be jostled around before arriving at their final destination. Without being able to control these environments there is no way of knowing what kinds of chemicals, pests, or animals your product may have come in contact with during the transfers. In order to prevent unwanted damage and have your customers enjoy your product safely, the way you intended for them to, food packaging is a must.
It's not required.
To sell food products in Canada there are many rules and regulations that absolutely must be adhered to. Consumer safety legislation requires that all food production abides by these set guidelines. It is mandatory to keep up with food packaging requirements.
Food packaging is bad for the environment.
So we've established that you should, nay, must package your products! You don't have control over that requirement. But how you package your product is something that you do have control over. What is harmful for the environment is over-packaging and littering. With so many green-friendly options to choose from, you can minimize the impact of your food packaging on the environment. Examples of environment friendly options would be glass, recyclable containers, and stand up pouches, to name a few. Some vendors in farmers' markets have even launched their own return-for-reuse programs, so customers can return containers, which are then cleaned and sterilized for use again. If farmers' markets happens to be one of your niches, a return-for-reuse program would be a great option.
Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre (OAFVC) has the expertise to walk you through the packaging and labelling process. Our experienced staff will educate you on labelling and packaging regulations and requirements as well as the best options for how to package your food product and minimize your food business' environmental footprint. Our on-site graphic designer can also help design your packaging.
With little to no commitment required when working in a communal commercial kitchen, you will be able to continue to grow your food business further. OAFVC will help you find the right packaging that is perfect your product.

Of Shipwrecks and Waves
I know it has been a bad day when the Chardonnay has gone straight to my legs and the look from that sweet little kitty across the way has me in tears. Again.
Life is hard right now. I mean, like, kick your a** every day before you get out of bed kind of hard. Everyone is preparing for the holidays and, while I really want to as well, there is a larger part of me that sees the coming celebrations as a reminder of an empty chair, of a hand I don't get to hold during prayer, of a hug I don't get to have and a laugh I don't get to hear. Another gut punch.
The Rocket Scientist came home tonight and I crumbled, for what seems like the bazillionth time today. He said this is a hard season...and then he said, nope, it's not a season, it is our shipwreck at sea and we get a little wedge of splintered wood to float on - now we have to figure out navigation for the rest of our lives. It's not a season, this is our life now.
It sucks...and yet, here we are. Begging God every minute to take it away. Trusting that, while He didn't move the mountain like we wanted, and there seems to be so many more yet to climb, He will be faithful to keep His promise and redeem this horrid shipwreck. That when the wind is finish blowing the chaff away, what will be left, and seen, are good grain and fruitful seeds.
For now...we cry, and we drift, and we sit in the dark places waiting for another wave to knock the breath out of our lungs...again.
This is our grief. This is our journey.
