Justice and Natural Resources
67,38 €
Justice and Natural Resources
Struggles over precious resources such as oil, water, and land are increasingly evident in the contemporary world. States, indigenous groups, and corporations vie to control access to those resources, and the benefits they provide. These conflicts are rapidly spilling over into new arenas, such as the deep oceans and the Polar regions. How should these precious resources be governed, and how should the benefits and burdens they generate be shared?
Justice and Natural Resources provides a systematic theory of natural resource justice. It argues that we should use the benefits and burdens flowing from these resources to promote greater equality across the world, and share governance over many important resources. At the same time, the book takes seriously the ways in which particular resources can matter in peoples lives. It provides invaluable guidance on a series of pressing issues, including the scope of state resource rights,
the claims of indigenous communities, rights over ocean resources, the burdens of conservation, and the challenges of climate change and transnational resource governance. It will be required reading for anyone interested in natural resource governance, climate politics, and global justice.

Starlight Sailor - James Mayhew and Jackie Morris
I got this as a present for Christmas, not because of the story, but because of the amazing pictures that work amazingly with the pictures. They are just like the images I can see in my head and they are drawn with great skill and precision. I feel like the pictures on their own tell a million different stories on their own, and the words create a million pictures. At first, I found it hard to believe that the picture were hand drawn but they are. The words are absolutely amazing and word fabulously with the skilfully drawn pictures. I wish I could write or draw as good as these two people can. I think this sort of book would be aimed at people of any age, and I would rate this 9.7********* out of 10**********!

Henrik Zetterberg wants more for Red Wings
Detroit captain has eyes on Stanley Cup, not just making playoffsby Nicholas J. Cotsonika @cotsonika / NHL.com Columnist
TORONTO -- Henrik Zetterberg wants to make something clear: The Detroit Red Wings won't be satisfied to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 26th consecutive season.
"If we make the postseason, we automatically continue the streak, but we're not really playing for the streak," the Red Wings forward said. "We're playing to have a chance to win the Cup."
That might seem crazy, considering the Red Wings sit second-to-last in the Atlantic Division before they play the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2017 Scotiabank NHL Centennial Classic at Exhibition Stadium on Sunday (3 p.m. ET; NBC, SN, TVA Sports, NHL.TV). They will need a turnaround just to extend the streak. No one considers them Cup contenders anymore.
But that is the defiant attitude of Zetterberg, who succeeded legends Nicklas Lidstrom and Steve Yzerman as Red Wings captain, and it speaks to the mindset of the organization as it faces what could be the end of an era.
To be sure, there is pride in the streak itself. No other team has made the playoffs every season since the salary cap was introduced in 2005-06, let alone since 1990-91. No one takes making the playoffs for granted. At least no one should in a league defined by parity. The streak might not be fully appreciated until after it ends.
Video: Red Wings practice at Exhibition Stadium
"You don't want to be a part of a team that doesn't make it," Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall said.
The thing is, making the playoffs is not enough. Detroit has lost in the first round three years in a row and four times in the past five years, and the Red Wings have held themselves to a much higher standard, winning the Cup in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008, going to the Final in 1995 and 2009 as well.
"Obviously we want to make the postseason," Zetterberg said. "It would be really, really, really disappointing if we don't. But the streak, I think there's been a little bit too much talk about that the last few years. It's almost that we make the postseason to continue the streak and then kind of relax a little bit. That's what we want to get away from."
The Red Wings have been victims of their own success. They have been measured against their past more than against the rest of the NHL at times, and they have not drafted in the top 10 since 1991, eroding their top-end talent.
Some fans think the Red Wings should accept they aren't what they used to be. If they avoid veterans, the younger players can gain more experience. If they fall out of the playoffs, they can select higher in the draft and replenish their top-end talent.
On some level, Kronwall understands.
"They're used to the Detroit Red Wings winning," Kronwall said. "I have all the respect for that. We're used to that too."
But owner Mike Ilitch bought the team in 1982 when it was one of the worst in the NHL. The Red Wings spent decades building a winning culture. General manager Ken Holland doesn't want to tear it down until he has to, because he knows how long a rebuild can take. Zetterberg and Kronwall are going to try to keep upholding the standard even when the team isn't living up to it, maybe especially when the team isn't living up to it.
Zetterberg is 36. Kronwall will turn 36 on Jan. 12. Each has spent his entire NHL career with the Red Wings, Zetterberg since 2002-03, Kronwall since 2003-04.
"I always wanted to be a part of one team if possible," Kronwall said. "So far I've been fortunate to have that opportunity. I think you get even more heart and soul for that team and for the organization -- not only that, with the fans, with the community. There's so much else that goes into it than just the hockey part."
Video: BUF@DET: Zetterberg snaps puck home off Lehner's mask
They feel the responsibility to follow the example set by Lidstrom, Yzerman and so many others.
"When we came in, we had all the guys that had been here for so long," Zetterberg said. "We saw their passion. We saw how they tried to give that to the younger players. We are those guys now that have to give it to the guys that's going to steer the ship when we're gone."
They do not want to go quietly.
"I'm not done yet, even though some nights I feel I am," Zetterberg said with a laugh. "I don't think any player wants to go through a rebuild or a tank or whatever you call it. You want to win games. You don't want to go out and lose games.
"You tank and you're not winning for a few years, it's almost like you're not supposed to win. I, as a player, would never be able to go through that, where if you lose, it's not that bad. As long as I'm here, we will never have it.
"It comes from the top. It comes from the Ilitches. It comes from Ken Holland. We have a certain tradition here, and that's going to live on."

If you haven't noticed by now, the Harry Potter film series has had four different directors. Chris Colombus directed the first two, Alfonso Cuaron directed the third, Mike Newell directed the fourth, and from then point on, all the rest have been directed by David Yates.
Personally, I don't have a preference, but that's not the deal right now. Recently, I found an interesting article about Yates' thoughts on the torture scene. Personally, I found the scene slightly scary, with Hermione's screams sending shivers down my spine. Although I was expecting Hermione to be more hurt and beaten-up (as in the book, Bellatrix repeatedly used the Cruciatus curse on her) than she appeared to be, I was nonetheless near to tears when I saw the derogatory word "Mudblood" carved into her arm (though I'm sure that in reality, it is a combination of makeup and special kind of paint). Despite this important yet terrifying scene, I have to admire Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter for this awesome and extremely-convinced-that-this-is-reality acting.

The one major gripe about this highway is the lack of full interchanges at EXIT 6A (NY 138) in Goldens Bridge, EXIT 7 (NY 116) in Purdys EXIT 8 (Hardscrabble Road).
Reviewed by: Steve AndersonLast Traveled: 2002
Except for some rush-hour congestion at the highway's two termini (at the I-287 / Hutchinson River Parkway interchange in White Plains and EXIT 9 / I-84 in Brewster), I-684 is a relatively safe, fast-moving road. The new 65 MPH speed limit certainly helps. Toward the end of the 1990's, the pavement had been showing signs of age after 30 to 35 years of use, but work now finishing up is addressing this issue.I use this road when I go toward Albany and Montreal, and the northbound vista of rolling hills is a preview of what is to come on my journey upstate.

Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol just reported. Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, FHP reported.
Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said. No other information about his condition has been released. FHP said the airbags in Woods' Cadillac Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph.

Top 10 reasons
employees resign
According to
, 77% of workers hate their job. That's
right – they "hate" their job. They do not just "dislike" their
job. It's not that they "do not care for" their job. They HATE it!
Although most will stay put, each day some of this group will
turn in their resignations, costing their employer huge
turnover expenses.
We must begin by eliminating a huge myth: "employees
leave most often because of money". Although, some will tell
their employer in an exit interview they are leaving because
of wages, it is seldom mentioned when a third party does
the exit interviewing. The real reasons, which follow, are
kept from employer-driven exit-interviews because they may
be considered negative toward the employer, hurting
chances to return to the employer at a later date or to get a
good recommendation for a future job. Sharing this
information with third party interviewers, trained specifically
to ask the right questions, is less threatening as it does not
go back to the employer with a name attached to a specific
Another myth is that employees leave to "find a better
opportunity". According to the book "
The 7 Hidden Reasons
Employees Leave
" by Leigh Branham, the seeds of
discontent go much deeper. The book supposes that even if
this reason was correct and valid, it would signal a failure of
management, not a legitimate reason for departure.
There are ten main reasons employees voluntarily leave
their employers. Of course, these ten reasons do not include
retirements nor does it include the unpreventable departures
due to job or employee relocations, as these cannot
generally be prevented.

The building blocks of materialism, it turns out, are immaterial:
"There is a physical relation between physical things. But it is different with commodities. There, the existence of the things qua commodities, and the value relations between the products of labour which stamps them as commodities, have absolutely no connection with their physical properties and with the material relations arising therefrom. There is a definite social relation between men, that assumes, in their eyes, the fantastic form of a relation between things." -this was written a hundred and fifty years ago.
"The capitalist epoch is therefore characterised by this, that labour-power takes in the eyes of the labourer himself the form of commodity which is his property; his labour consequently becomes wage labour. On the other hand, it is only from this moment that the produce of labour universally becomes a commodity."
"The bookbinding trade in the city of London employs very many young girls from 14 to 15 years old, and that under indentures which prescribe certain very definite hours of labour. Nevertheless, they work in the last week of each month until 10, 11, 12, or 1 o'clock at night, along with the older labourers, in a very mixed company. 'The masters temps them by extra pay and supper,' which they eat in neighbouring public-houses. The great debauchery thus produced among these 'young immortals' (()) is compensated by the fact that among the rest many Bibles and religious books are bound by them."
June 15, 2011
The many points made good by the writing of John Stewart Mill on Liberty
Self-interest defined: Causes which influence men's wishes in regard to the conduct of others ((…)) sometimes their reason; at other times their prejudice or superstitions; often their social affections, not seldom their anti-social ones, their envy or jealousy, their arrogance or contemptuousness; but most commonly their desires or fears for themselves.
((Mid-19th c. Britain)) Our merely social intolerance kills no one, roots out no opinions, but induces men to disguise them or to abstain from any active effort for their diffusion. With us, heretical opinions do not perceptibly gain, or even lose, ground in each decade or generation; they never blaze out far and wide, but continue to smoulder in the narrow circles of thinking and studious persons among whom they originate, without ever lighting up the general affairs of mankind with either a true or a deceptive light. And thus is kept up a state if things very satisfactory to some minds, because, without the unpleasant process of fining or imprisoning anybody, it maintains all prevailing opinions outwardly undisturbed, while it does not absolutely interdict the exercise of reason by dissentients afflicted with the malady of thought.
((Linear-cyclical philosophy of history – "forgetting"– but what about "absorption" and practicing method — pedagogy)) We often hear the teachers of all creeds lamenting the difficulty of keeping up in the minds of believers a lively apprehension of the truth which they nominally recognize, so that it may penetrate the feelings and acquire a real mastery over the conduct. No such difficulty is complained of while the creed is still fighting for its existence; even the weaker combatants then know and feel what they are fighting for, and the difference between it and other doctrines; and in that period of every creed's existence not a few persons may be found who have realised its fundamental principles in all the forms of thought, have weighed and considered them in all their important bearings, and have experienced the full effect on the character which belief in that creed ought to produce in a mind thoroughly imbued with it. But when it has come to be an hereditary ((nearly spacial transfer when time is compressed)) creed, and to be received passively, not actively – when the mind is no longer compelled, in the same degree as at first, to exercise its vital powers on the questions which its belief presents to it, there is a progressive tendency to forget all of the belief except the formularies, or to give it a dull and torpid assent, as if accepting it on trust ((idol)) dispensed with the necessity of realizing it in consciousness, or testing it by personal experience, until it almost ceases to connect itself at all with the inner life of the human being.

Author, library raise the bar high for reading
To the editor:
Thumbs up and congratulations to Esther LoPresto in the Friday, May 21, Family section of The Herald-Mail for boldly stepping out with a book she has written called "Where's My Other Sock?" What a great example for our young people to take their talents, time and money and pursue an idea with such passion.
A column next to LoPresto's book announcement also caught my eye. The 2010 Summer Reading Club is right around the corner and the perfect opportunity for parents to promote a program that will challenge their children to read more.
Some answers to the numerous social ills that America battles today can be found in these two stories. Good reading and writing skills are major building blocks in the foundation for success in every area of our lives. Many a door leading to greater opportunities is slammed shut by illiteracy. Raising the bar high for children everywhere to read well can raise their confidence, too, by giving them the right tools they need for the future.

Following the beheading video of James Foley, my last post focused on the brutality of the Islamic State and their intolerant ideology. However, in the rush of disgust caused by the video, it is easy to forget to look at why these people do such things. Islamic State didn't arise in a vacuum, and within the last year they have created what is in many ways a functioning state. So what is it actually like to be one of the millions governed by the Islamic State? How does history and Islam explain their rise? And can they hold on to the territory they cover?
As I stated in my last post, the Islamic State is extremely intolerant. This intolerance is mainly directed at those they see as apostates – Shi'as, Yazidis, Alawites and secular Sunni Muslims. However, while they pay lip service to the idea of protecting 'dhimmis' – Christians and Jews living in an Islamic area – in reality life for those groups is extremely dangerous under IS. To even stay alive they must pay a special tax, and still churches have been converted into mosques and thousands forced to flee.
However, for Sunni Muslims willing to accept the strict laws of IS, life has not gotten too much worse. The fact is that in most of the areas they control IS provides functioning courts, arbitration, taxation and public services. Due to the civil war in Syria and the discrimination against Sunnis by the Shi'a government, these things have been lacking for many years. When a group like IS offers security and actual governance, it makes it easier to accept their strict laws. It's similar to the initial support for the Taliban in Afghanistan, who offered stability after years of warlords and civil war. The risk though for IS is that they will push their creed too far. It's a fine balance they have to walk to keep their Sunni population satisfied.
It is not only security though that drives support for IS, but also age old religious ideas. From the era of Muhammad onwards, Muslim lands in the Middle East were united in a Caliphate under a religious and political leader – in theory at least. During the Golden Age of Islam the Middle East was one of the most advanced and progressive areas on earth. After the early 1500s, the Middle East was one political unit under the Ottoman Empire, with the Sultan/Caliph combining political and religious authority. This Islamic unity was seen as fulfilling the commands of the Prophet, and as a natural state of being.
But in the 19th century European armies, with their technology honed by centuries of warfare in Europe, began to make inroads of conquest into the Middle East. The Industrial Revolution enabled the Europeans to take control of the Ottoman Empire through finance, extracting concessions and beginning to tear the empire apart. The whole process culminated in the European division of the Middle East after the First World War, when France and Great Britain divided the region with complete disregard for history and culture. Since then the Middle East has been torn between nationalists and state governments, and groups who want to reunify the lands of Islam.
The Islamic State is merely the newest and most brutal of these groups. They look back on the last few centuries and extract the lesson that following the European path of nationalism and modernism has brought weakness and foreign domination. Therefore, they aim to abolish national borders and return Islam to a caliphate of unity and strength. The difference between them and most other supporters of this idea is that IS have no problem killing anyone they have to, including fellow Muslims, to achieve their aim.
So is there any future for their idea of a caliphate? As this BBC journalist notes, this isn't the first time that jihadist groups have controlled territory – look at Somalia and Mali, where the West had to intervene to deny jihadists control. Iraq and Syria are a far trickier problem because the West has no real alternative they can support. In Syria IS is fighting the Assad regime, who the West is in theory committed to overthrowing. In Iraq IS is fighting an ineffective Shi'a dominated government who under the previous Prime Minister heavily discriminated against Sunnis. Intervention by the West would mean involvement in two bloody civil and religious wars with no clear way out. Couple that with an understandable reluctance on the part of the US to go anywhere near Iraq, and the chance for real intervention is low.
The Islamic State has already shattered the modern Middle East. They have broken down borders, forced ethnic and religious cleansing of Syria and Iraq, and are providing a decent amount of governance for Sunni Muslims in their self-proclaimed Caliphate. With no one government in the region strong enough to take them on alone, and the US cringing at the thought of troops on the ground in Iraq, fighting IS will require an unholy alliance between powers that are more used to fighting each other – Iran, Iraq, Turkey, the Kurds, the US and maybe even Bashar al-Assad. However, Islamic State is still its own worst enemy. With their level of brutality, it remains to be seen whether they can maintain loyalty in their new state.
Much of of the information about life under IS comes from this incredible documentary by VICE, and this interview with journalist Michael Ware. Both are worth checking out.

I'm not sure how many times the word "love" is used in the bible, but I know it is used enough times to know that You aren't playing about that word. You expect us to do just that – love. Many ask how can YOU allow such things to happen. If you are such a loving God, how can You sit back and watch these things happen? I know you are up there asking us that very same question. As your children, we are allowing these things to occur. Your love is unconditional and never wavering but we love with condition and waver when we encounter those different from us and don't agree with. Evil occurs at the hands of error-filled human, not You. The God I serve would never grant us the green light to commit acts of hatred toward one another. I don't understand why all of this is going on, but maybe that's not where my focus needs to be.
Lord, it's so easy to get caught up and consumed in the media, social media, and petty dialogue. My feelings are all in disarray and I know that is because I've allowed my time with You to be optional – if at all. Everybody and everything else has moved up on my priority list and I have the nerve to wonder why these current events have shifted my focus and has me all out of wack. I'm feeding my flesh while allowing my spirit to become malnourished. Well Lord, here I am…. Hurt, anxious, emotional, and desperate for you. For peace. For a calming. To hear Your quiet and still voice in the midst of the piercing screams of this nation.
This morning, the first morning in a long time, I opted to place my phone down and pick up your word. I know how I and many others around the world feel about injustice. Everybody has an opinion and I too have been guilty of allowing my frustration to form words of "one level short of" hatred for others and falling into the trap of division. The enemy knows exactly what he's doing. This morning, I just wanted time with you and I wanted to know your views on injustice so I went to the book of James. These words are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago….
"My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but you say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love him? But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?
If you really keep the royal law found in scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself." -James 2:1-8.
Lord, I don't have the answer but I do know what is going on right now isn't it.
May we never lose hope fighting for justice and striving to keep peace.
"Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness" – James 3:18
Lord, may we never stop praying. That is not the ONLY action but definitely the first.
"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective (availeth much)" – James 5:16
These are sad and trying times but honestly, every season is a sad and trying time for someone. I've learned that it's whatever we identify with that affects us the most. As minorities. As lower class citizens. As fatherless children. We all have our season(s) of suffering but you continually provide hope and mercy.
" Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, b/c you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance"- James 1:2-3
I pray to remain steadfast in You. That we cast down and speak against the spirit of defeat because that is not of you. That we block every feeling of hatred that attempts to saturate our spirit. No one is hurting more than You are. No one. May we remain encouraged and nourish our spirits with Your word. Hard times are guaranteed but You have promised to always be there to get us through. Help us, Lord. We need you.
These and many other things we ask in your name, Jesus.

Developers chosen for MBTA's North Quincy mixed-use project
QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has chosen two developers for the transit agency's forthcoming mixed-use project based around the Red Line's North Quincy Station.
The Boston Globe reports (http://bit.ly/1Ugq0EM ) the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board unanimously voted to grant lease rights for the development to a joint venture of Maryland-based Bozutto Development and Hingham-based Atlantic Development.
Bozutto/Atlantic's winning bid would pay the MBTA approximately $230 million over the course of a 99-year lease for the $205 million project. Plans call for the construction of 579 housing units, retail space and a 1,307-space parking garage on the 295,000-square-foot property.
MBTA officials hope the development will increase access to public transportation and in turn boost ridership.
Permitting and design of the project is expected to take between one to two years.

People are very concerned about rodent control – and with good reason. If rodents enter your home or business, they are much more than a nuisance. Rodents consume and contaminate food with their fur, urine and faeces. Rat burrowing causes streets and structures to collapse. Their constant gnawing damages property. This has caused power outages, Internet blackouts, computer crashes, fires and human deaths as well. So it is essential to use professional Rodent management solutions to protect your house or business from rats and mice.
Bird Control
Universal Pesticides delivers unprecedented solutions against the nuisance of birds & pigeons in the Middle East region. We supply a wide range of pest bird control and bird repelling products. All are environmentally friendly and do no harm to wildlife.
Bird Spikes- Did you know that pest birds cost homeowners and commercial building owners millions of dollars every year? That the high concentration of uric acid found in some bird droppings can crumble stonework, discolour paint, stain wood, and turn decorative metal into Swiss cheese? Pest birds can become a hugely expensive problem for commercial building owners. Initially, you may only have a few birds on your building, but the scent of birds roosting and nesting will quickly attract other birds. Before you know it, you'll have a swarm of birds laying claim to your rooftops, AC units, junction boxes and other elevated areas on your building.
Not to worry, our high quality bird spikes can keep these pests away from your property. Bird-X polycarbonate plastic bird spikes are used on structures worldwide to keep pest birds from roosting and nesting on building surfaces. The spikes are not harmful - just extremely irritating, intimidating, and uninviting.
Bird Net - These are ideal for zero-tolerance areas. Bird netting can be used to block pest bird access in many places such as warehouse ceilings, eaves & rafters, bridges & underpasses, stadiums & stands, gardens & crops, architectural details, homes & covered porches.
Both bird netting and bird spikes create a physical barrier. They prevent pest birds from landing, perching or roosting wherever they are used. Both bird netting and bird spikes are:
100% effectiveeverywhere they are installed
Discreet - barely visible from a distance, silent & require no power supply
Bird Gel - This long-lasting, non-toxic, tacky bird repellent can be used on ledges, sills, beams, rafters and hundreds of other outdoor surfaces to prevent pest birds from roosting. The gel does not harm birds - it simply makes surfaces uncomfortable, intimidating and uninviting.
Ultrasonic Bird Repeller - An ultrasonic bird control audio solution is perfect for areas where silence is preferred. Enclosed and semi-enclosed areas are ideal. Ultrasound is most effective where sound waves can bounce off walls or ceilings, due to their direct projection and short wavelength. Ultrasonic Bird Repellers can be used inside warehouses & loading docks, parking structures, walkways & awnings, schools & hospitals, entrances & porches, balconies & patios.

Nature or Wilderness - Truly Something Special?
"What wilderness does is present us with a blueprint, as it were, of what creation was about in the beginning, when all the plants and trees and animals were magnetic, fresh from the hands of whatever created them." Laurens van der Post
Most folks who experience nature usually go there these days to stress bust and work out. One sees joggers, runners, cyclists and rock climbers when one ventures onto any fore country trail. Is nature or wilderness special or is it just an ordinary place where we can play out our physical needs for these activities and other adventures such as bagging peaks and running rivers? Is there a specific spiritual dimension to nature that is more powerful than anything we might encounter in a church, synagogue, mosque, or temple. If so, how can we access this benefit?
The next few blogs will be about nature as a preferred environment for and as a form of spiritual practice.
There is evidence to show that patients who have had major surgery and have views of trees from their rooms recover faster and need less pain medicine than those with a view of a brick wall. Prison inmates who can see trees from their cells seem to have fewer stress-related problems than those who do not and studies have shown that even the most hardened criminals found work on farms and gardens meaningful. What we can see from our home window is more vital than we might think for our well-being and access to nature from the work place decreases work stress and increases job satisfaction. Those who tend gardens are rewarded with greater life satisfaction. A meditative approach seems relevant to the fulfillment attained by gardeners. Those who initially begin growing vegetables change to growing flowers presumably for the pure aesthetic pleasure of this "soft" fascination.
Wilderness psychologists who have studied wilderness backpackers, a non-wilderness vacation group and a third control group have found that the wilderness backpacking group showed better scores on happiness and performance in spite of the "re-entry depression" that occurred in the wilderness backpacking group. Re-entry depression aside, there was nevertheless a proactive restorative effect enabling better coping with stress three weeks later. Even a brief nature walk provides more of a restorative effect than an urban walk or a relaxation exercise.
If there is such a thing as a compassion index, I find, as a physician, that it is restored and maximized on return from an extended trek in nature. After that it gradually dwindles and after three months of intense work the saddest of medical situations does not seem to evoke the empathetic response that it should. There is no question that wilderness has profound benefits on the abilities of this healer to heal. The injunction, "Physician heal thyself!" could not be more accurate than in this predicament. After returning from a trip whole one can be the healer one is supposed to be and give sufficient energy to the task at hand. Research has shown that even a short hike in a natural environment has restorative effects.
There is good evidence that there is more restoration in wilderness and nature settings. There are no studies to show that one must be immersed totally in it but spending one week in a hotel in pristine wilderness is not the same as getting into wilderness as a backpacker, canoeist, horse trekker, or renting a remote cabin in a wild place. On trails I have led most of the group will volunteer a sense of loss coming off the trail and a desire to be back in pure nature.
In separating ourselves from wilderness with creature comforts we do not experience the full potential of the restoration. We must become a part of the wilderness for it to bestow its benefits which is most evident in the wholeness witnessed among the hunter-gatherers of the world. Our body must become part of the encounter and we must serve as more than just observers. One has to feel, touch, smell and taste as well as see and hear it. This implies connecting with all the "soft fascinations" nature provides such as sights, scents and the sounds of water or the wind in the trees.
It is likely that the more we approximate the hunter-gatherer model, the more we will discover the spiritual or self-actualizing benefit of the wild and the primal. We discover who we really are when we separate ourselves from material things that are not us. We benefit by ridding ourselves of any"thing" that prevents us from reaching the inner center of our being. If we can hunt and gather in the super market and take only what is essential to our needs into whatever pristine nature place we can find away from technology we can truly connect with our primal humanness again and restore ourselves more completely. The less we have between us and Mother Nature the more profound the effect. If one is carrying ones needs its unlikely anything redundant will be taken along and this is a profound way to immerse oneself in the Garden of Eden archetype which we should remember is feminine.

text: Hi everyone, this is my first help post as my boy Idas is not well. He started showing signs of this 5 days ago. I will try my best to provide as much info as I can as any advice would be appreciated. Details are as follows: Home: His environment has not changed lately. He is in the same tank with the same stones in the same position as it always has been. He has no tankmates & is not in a divided tank. I do not know much about water conditions but I make my water in batches. The other bettas that received water from the same batch are all 100% which leads me to believe that it is not his water. Symptoms: Day 1: Slowed down swimming started to sit on the bottom of his tank. Day 2: Barely swam in the whole day. Day 3: Hardly swimming and showed little interest in his dinner barely pecking at it. Day 4: Did not swim and did not eat his dinner. He only looked at it, tried one piece and spat it back out again. Day 5: Not swimming. Wouldn't even come up to look at his dinner. Refusing to eat. What I think it is: I am not really sure what I'm looking for but I made some inspections of him. His eyes are fine. His fins seem healthy enough. When he sits on the bottom he does not lie on his side - which is a good sign - but his gills do not move much (I have seen bettas gasp for breath before he is not doing this instead his gill movement is barely visible). There is no blatant fungis or abnormal growths. (Though maybe I am not looking right). The only difference is that on very close inspection I noticed a scar or cut on his body underneath his top fin. It is a straight line perhaps 1/2 cm in length. It shows up white in colour. I am wondering if he has cut himself on an odd sharp stone and has caused himself an infection, is this possible? Treatment so far: He has had a complete water change. I have treated him with Bettafix medicine in his water (it has worked wonders with my fish in the past). I have tried to get him to eat both pellets and dried bloodworms. I have sterilised his rocks and tank thoroughly (with hot water) to eliminate any germs. He has had a piece of pea in the last week but I don't think he actually ate it, I think he looked at it. Info on Idas: He is a yellow fighter (I have been told in the past that yellows are weaker than others due to their low skin pigment). I am not sure what type he is, he has strange fins perhaps a cross breed crown and something else, can this make for a sickly fish? He was a cup baby. He is usually very lively, hard to net and loves to clink his rocks about. Any info would be helpful, any advice welcome. I do not want to lose my baby so soon. Thank-you. Fishtroy for Idas

Asha Bhosle's versatile contribution to Indian music has known no bounds. From evergreen melodies to peppy numbers and ghazals, the singing queen has ruled the music industry for decades.
The music diva may have aged in numbers but her relevance as a musician has not subsided much. And that's perhaps because of her brilliant ability to mould her art to suit the evolution of music with time.
At a time when indie-pop songs turned out to be a craze among the youth, Asha Bhosle also joined the trend to make people tap their feet to her quirky numbers.
On her 84th birthday, let's walk down the memory lane to relive those popular songs that still remain a part of our growing-up nostalgia.
1. Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao
It was a time when Adnan Sami was turning out to be the latest pop rage and when his voice matched that of Asha Bhosle, it left us humming a soothing melody.
2. Cha Cha Cha
Not only did Asha Bhosle make us sing along, but she also took us through the steps of doing the Cha Cha Cha dance.
3. Jab Saamne
Asha Bhosle gave expression to every young lover's innocent feelings of hesitation and longing, that made so many of us relate to this song.
Also Read:Asha Bhosle will soon be joining other legends at Madame Tussauds Delhi
4. You're The One For Me
Remember how we went drooling over Brett Lee singing in his accented Hindi with Asha Bhosle?
5. Aap Ke Dil Mein
Asha Bhosle and Sanjay Dutt, flirting their way through this melody, left a smile on all our faces.

#153 Misiou Mansion
In Aesop street dominates with its presence, one of the most important 19th century mansions in the city.
Construction Data
The mansion of Misios, a leading specimen of residential construction, brilliantly showcases the local architecture. The house was built in May 1844 on the ruins of an earlier construction. Main materials of the bulky "Π" shaped construction, were wood and stone.
At first glance, notable are the high walls surrounding the building and ensuring security and privacy to its occupants. Crossing the heavy door, we encounter the courtyard of the mansion, where there was a covered well. On the impressive facade, the double staircase with arches and glazing really stand out.
The building is spread over three levels and their pinpointing position is no different from that of most homes of that time. The ground floor houses the utility and storage rooms as well as the rooms of the staff. On the mezzanine floor, workplaces and office owners are situated. At the last level we find the sun terrace and family rooms.
All spaces stand out for their elegance and magnificence. Fireplaces and ceilings with ornate decorations adorn the main rooms of the mansion, while the wood paneling on the walls further enhances the grandeur of the house. The furniture consists of collectible pieces, which the owners have transferred from all around the world.
Highly informative is the description of Ioannite architect Aristotelis Zachos in Epirotica Chronika magazine: "the house in all the areas features especially large cabinets-closets-which are permanent and oftentimes inserted in the walls. The space above the cabinets either stays open or is closed when someone arrives into it through a narrow and upward passage located inside the cabinet and connected to the adjacent room. This space, called "dipaton" (two-storey place), serves as a kind of loft for the stay of women during the receptions and entertainments of men. The virgins and young girls, as known, from their 12th year of age were kept hidden from the eyes of men. Such Interactions and entertainment of men were watched by the girls unseen, through small windows overlooking the room walls or towards the sunny side of the upper gallery. Such a kind of dipata served as galleries were rescued in both Christian and Muslim homes in Ioannina and Epirus in general. Should be noted that the use of these is uncommon in the houses in Macedonia where they are not encountered. "
Historical Data
Additional information of historical, cultural and tourism interest
The rich history of Ioannina and the surrounding areas, the findings and historical prints from various periods of history and the priceless natural beauty, will make your visit to the region a unique travel experience. Ideal place to start this is by visiting the Castle of Ioannina. From the monuments of the castle stand out the Soufari Sarai, which housed the School cavalry of Ali Pasha, and of particular value is also the tower of Voimoundou. Continuing our tour, in the southeastern citadel of the castle, the Byzantine Museum can be found. In the north of the Acropolis castle dominates proudly, one of the leading examples of Islamic devotional architecture, the mosque of Aslan Pasha. In the areas of the impressive monument nowadays is housed the Municipal Ethnographic Museum and in the same complex, in the premises of the seminary (theological school), is housed the museum of Ethnography-Folklore, of Fotis Rapakousis. The castle also has many gates, with great history, which you can visit.
Continuing the tour, outside the castle this time, on the banks of the lake Pamvotida, you will find the historic district Tampakika (traditional workshops). With a walk in the neighborhood of the old market, the visitor will find some of the famous mansions that have survived in the city of Ioannina. Although after the Second World War were destroyed much of the mansions, several survived and now host museums, libraries, public services, giving the city a distinctive architectural splendor. Some of these are the mansions of Pyrsinella, Misiou, Despote, Isminis Tzavella. Unique are also the buildings in which are housed the Zosimaia Academy, the Kaplaneio the School, the School of the Georgios Stavros and the Papazogleios Weaving School. Noteworthy are also the clock, the building of the 8th Division, the City Hall, the neoclassical building in the square, the post office, the Music Academy and the old houses in the Castle, Kaloutsiani and in Karavatia. There are also deserted inns, as the ones of Vrosgou,Thanopoulou, Ntanaka, Dodonis, Maneka, Klitsa, Skordou and Moutsiou. In the area of Kaloutsiani stands out the Mosque of Kaloutsiani,"Kanli Cesme".
Visiting the city, one can experience the rich religious tradition, which has endowed the region of Ioannina with important religious sites, the dating of which reaches up to the 12th century., Indicatively are noted the monasteries of Perivleptos (Assumption, 1647), Archimandreio (Assumption, 14th century), St. Catherine (1771) and the churches of St. Athanasius (19th century) cathedral, St. Nicholas Agoras (17th century), St. Marina (19th century), St. Nicholas Kopanon (19th century), etc.
In Ioannina, visitors can tour the exhibits and learn about their history and the history of the city, apart from the Byzantine, Folklore and Ethnographic museum, also, through the Municipal Art Gallery, the Museum of National Resistance, the Wax Museum and the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina. On the tour, the visitor must include the Lake Pamvotida and the Islet of Ioannina (with the three famous monasteries of- Filanthropinon, St. Ntiliou and Saint Panteleimon) and the Perama Cave, to have a complete picture of the city of Ioannina and its history.
Outside the city of Ioannina is developed a network of villages and small settlements, which invite the visitorto meet them. Such areas are the Anatoli, Bafra, Bizani, Katsikas, Koutselio, Iliokali, Kastritsa, Loggades, Kryovrysi, and many others.
Ioannina though, apart from the historical-cultural interest, have gained in recent years a loyal audience, tourists that are visiting the area also for the number of sports, outdoor activities that it offers. Trekking and hiking trails, mountain bike (easy and hard routes), and activities on the lake are just some of the activities in which they can be engaged fans of alternative tourism. Also, one of the most adventurous activities is definitely paragliding, which offers the possibility of air navigation in the hills around the lake, giving the opportunity to capture the stunning landscapes from above.
The visitors, finally, in terms of entertainment, can attend theatrical or dance performances at the Cultural Center of Ioannina, while in terms of food and drinks, a place or places can be chosen from the many focal points, from which stand out those that are housed in the arcades of Louli, Liabey and Mparatsa.

What is a common core standard to one individual, may not be a common core standard to another student. So making these supposed changes may or may not help the outcome of the SAT test. No doubt there are thoughtful, tricky questions on the SAT and to pave them down to a "Common Core" would almost be impossible.
Common Core standards and activities have long since been shown to be flawed, and in many schools have resulted in serious problems. The shift to make the SAT reflective of Common Core standards only demonstrates that educational monopolies are trying to ensure their own survival by coordinating with each other.
Changes to the SAT test based on Common Core standards will not do much to improve how well students perform on the test. Some students are just not good test-takers. No amount of tweaking is going to improve how well students do on the SAT. Instead, schools should focus more on teaching students how to think.
Common core uses math that is incorrect- Failing to use PEMDAS. It does not allow simple answers. How common core works: It may be correct, but it is incorrect in common core. It requires the student to complete the problem in 10+ steps, or requires a longer equation that makes the problem a lot harder. My professor always told us that the longer an equation was, the more likely you could make a mistake. Common core utilizes impractical and unnecessary math that could be completed with only a few steps.
No, changing the SAT to fit common core standards will not help students do well on the test because Common Core isn't something that a lot of students do well with. Common Core is a great way to make everyone equally bad, but if you don't get it, you're not going to get it on a test either. It's not helpful.

Where to Store Your Belongings When Moving
7 comments:
I like the 48 Volt Self Propelled MowerReplyDelete
I do agree with you that moving is stressful but it can be easy and even stress free if all the things are done in an organized manner and all this requires proper planning. And of course storage services proven are the best option to storage stuff while moving.ReplyDelete
What you have said is exactly right that sifting is stressful. You can make things easy by taking services offered by long distance moving companiesReplyDelete

Financing your home purchase is a big commitment for everyone involved. The process of acquiring financing for a home is crucial to your search and will ultimately determine what you can afford.
Find a Lender
Beginning the conversation with a lender about financing a home is the first step in establishing a relationship of communication and trust that will enable you to get the right information about rates, costs, risks, terms, and the fine print. I can help point you in the direction of lenders that have delivered consistent quality customer service to our clients. Contact REALTOR® to speak to a preferred lender
Loan Products
There are a variety of loan products offered in today's market. There are a few common loan products that are used in home buying. Here is a brief outline of the most common:
A Conventional loan is typically described as a loan that is not insured by the government or any agency. This loan is typically fixed in its terms and rate. Typically, this loan requires 20% down, but I have seen buyers get a conventional loan with as little as 5%.
Check out the FHA website for bit of history and their purpose. They insure lenders that follow their guidelines.
The Veteran's Administration guarantees a portion of a service member's home loan so that terms are more favorable for the veteran. Check out the VA's website for a detail on loans offered, benefits, eligibility, and how to apply.
For more detailed information on home loans and rates, Contact REALTOR® Erick Salgado for one of his preferred lenders.

Yesterday morning I took my camera along for my weekday bike ride and here are a few of the pictures that I snapped. These are taken from around 09:30 to 10:00 in the morning so there are few people on the beach.
This is the new park about 300 m from my home. Very typical here of being low maintenance (no lawn), benches, and "tot yard". The building on the left is known as "The Green Tower" and is one of El Masnou's landmarks.
This is how they build up the beach. The dredger to the right is sucking up sand off shore and then deposited on the beach. Later, a bulldozer smoothes out the piles of sand. It looks like they are finally almost finished. We'll see how long the expanded beach lasts.
Last month they widened the beach at Premià de Mar and it looks good.
This is part of the new park at the beach in Montgat. It is an extension of the park with the 1714 monument. It is located by a hillside that comes right down to the Mediterranean and is the home of the first railroad tunnel in Spain.
The building in the background contains condos. Most of the other buildings of the same development are much lower in height. You can see them to the left of the "tower."
Taken from close to the previous picture, but looking back so that you can see the beach. the new beach improvements include lifeguard stand, showers and "tot yard." There is a lot of parking available. And it fills up every day. There are plenty of cars even at 10 in the morning.
This is the monument commemorating the defeat of Barcelona on 11 September 1714. Thus ending the War of the Spanish Succession (and the loss of the Catalan empire, also known as the Crown of Aragón empire.) The 11th of September is a Catalan holiday.
The sign on the left extols the improvements being made (by the central government) and the cost. In the background you can see the artificial hill that was built, replete with grass (a rarity here) and trees.
This is one of the beaches in Badalona looking towards Montgat. Notice the commuter rails on the left with the split maritime way with bikes on the left and pedestrians on the right. The train I take to Barcelona rides these rails.
The first of next year the commuter rail system will transfer from Renfe, the Spanish national rail network, to FGC, the railroads of the Generalitat of Catalunya.

Growing up, I remember hearing my younger sister pester my mom to predict answers to things she couldn't possibly know. "What happens at the end of this book?" "What if they're out of chocolate chips at the grocery store?" "How long does it take to run around the house 19 times?" Parents have a special gift for making up answers that satisfy a child's curiosity, but, unfortunately, this skill is not often applicable in the real world. Adults are not content with answers like, "Go and try. I'll time you!"
It seems to be human nature to want to know the end from the beginning – to prepare for contingencies and gather the information that will help us to know how to react to any given situation. That information, however, is not always available. So, we have to anticipate outcomes, based on previous experience.
While some people are better at preparing for the unknown than others, this ability is paramount in account service. There is little I hate more than hearing some variation of, "Why didn't you tell me?" "I wish I had known that." Or, "I thought you were taking care of this." We can't possibly know every single concern that our clients are going to have. But, we can avoid having these conversations if we can be better at thinking ahead.
As account service our job is to anticipate the client's needs before they do. Whether that means stocking the fridge with their favorite drink or providing a project status update before they have to ask, these are the things that will set us apart. Here are a few simple tips on ways to answer a client's questions before they ask them:
So while none of us have a crystal ball to look into the future, we can be smart and reduce the number of questions that will be hard to answer when it's too late to have control of the situation. If all else fails, offer to time them while they run around the building.

The 10/10 Decluttering Exercise Will Make You Rethink Your Attachment to Stuff
Some people just aren't "stuff" people—they're born minimalists who just don't acquire much and seemingly don't get attached to their things. But there are plenty of us who are stuff people. It can be because we assign emotional value to things that makes them hard to let go of. For others, it may be that we just don't like parting with things we've spent money on.
So what happens when you're naturally a stuff person but you want to become more of a minimalist? Well, that comes with a lot of decision making—what does minimalism mean for you? Why do you want to pare down your things? How do you part with things that make you feel nostalgic or sentimental? How do you give yourself permission to get rid of something that you spent a good chunk of change on? It's certainly a challenge, but it's about reframing the way you think about the things you own, and The Minimalists can help.
You probably already know about The Minimalists' 90/90 Rule, which can help you make decisions about what items you should keep or get rid of based on whether or not you've used them in the last 90 days, but they've got another trick that can help you get yourself into the right frame of mind to let go in the first place—it's a quick exercise called the 10/10 Material Possessions Theory.
How the 10/10 Material Possessions Theory Works
"Your material possessions—those things you've worked so hard for by slaving 40, 50, 60 hours a week to acquire—how much value do they actually add to your life?" they—Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, the pair behind The Minimalists—ask on their blog. "We bet it's less than you realize."
So, how does it work? All you have to do is grab a pen and paper and make two lists: The first, a list of the 10 most expensive purchases from the last decade, and the second—and here's where the rethinking part comes in—a list of the 10 things (and by things, they don't necessarily mean things, it can be experiences, too) that add the most value to your life.
If you're totally honest with yourself when writing each list, you'll probably discover that the first list and the second don't overlap at all.
It's a short exercise that doesn't require much effort, but it will get you thinking and give you some perspective. Pair that fresh outlook with the 90/90 Rule and, while it won't eliminate all difficult decisions, you might find decluttering will be a whole lot easier for you.

I'm a nerdy, crafty mom of three adorable little kids. I love writing and creating, but in my non-existent free time I also love karaoke, taking my kids to the zoo, and reading. I got my degree in Science (no idea how that happened) but I took every English class I could get my hands on because, yeah, I'm that girl.
