GPU-based XMC module for military and avionics applications introduced by Tech Source
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., 16 May 2013. Tech Source Inc. in Altamonte Springs, Fla., is introducing the Condor 2106x Express Mezzanine Card (XMC) card for graphics with factory configured dual HD-SDI or DVI video inputs.
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., 16 May 2013. Tech Source Inc. in Altamonte Springs, Fla., is introducing the Condor 2106x graphics Express Mezzanine Card (XMC) with factory configured dual HD-SDI or DVI video inputs.
Designed for military and avionics embedded applications such as 360-degree airborne reconnaissance and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the Condor 2106x embedded computing module has two high-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI) inputs to reduce cabling and weight for airborne applications.
Further, the HD-SDI inputs are raw uncompressed frames to enhance video quality and provide low latency. Decoding, scaling, stitching, and format conversions can be processed in the graphics processing unit (GPU) with minimal CPU influence and an API is provided for customer integration.
The Condor 2106x is for seamless integration with most single-board computers and supports two outputs at a time from the front panel. It has two mini DisplayPort connectors, and supports two RGB (STANAG 3350B, RS-343), one VGA or one TV (NTSC and PAL and RS-170) output. The mini DisplayPort adapter is retained by a custom bracket so that it does not become unplugged through vibrations and shock.
The mezzanine card also supports various other video input formats including two HDMI and DVI or one 3G-SDI. It also is optionally available as a capture card only -- without the GPU and video outputs and the power consumption can be reduced to a maximum of 10 Watts.
The Condor 2106x is available in various ruggedized levels and has conduction- or convection-cooled variants. While Windows or Linux drivers are available by default, other real time operating systems (RTOS) such as VxWorks, Integrity. and LynxOS will be supported on x86 and PowerPC platforms, on customer requests.
For more information contact Tech Source online at www.techsource.com.

I came back from Vail last Tuesday after an amazing 3 weeks of rehab at Howard Head Sports Medicine (located in the same building as the Steadman Clinic where I had surgery on June 5th). For 3 weeks, I had 2 Physical Therapy sessions a day, 7 days a week plus pool therapy twice a week. It was a good thing I was in shape heading into surgery because 30+ hours a week of rehab is not exactly a walk in the park!:)
I had some great PT's in Vail and met so many great friends while I was there. Derrick, Heidi and Kevin joined me for my swim workouts in the pool, and Julz - tired of hearing me complain about being stranded at Starbucks whenever I went for coffee - created my very cool "coffee/Mountain Dew crutch holder" (see pics below).
Since I've been home, I either pool run/swim or use the stationary bike every day, in addition to my 4-5 PT sessions a week. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks post-op and in a few days I'll be off crutches - it's been an experience but I am ready to move on! The great thing about having surgery is that every day and every week, things improve and get easier. Already my hip feels better than it did pre-op. I'm being patient, but at the same time, I'm excited about what lies ahead.

10 digital marketing tips for brick and mortar businesses
Lately at Delilah we've been doing a lot of Branding Consultations for bricks and mortar businesses across Asia: mostly retail stores selling a variety of totally awesome, unique items, either fashion or homewares related, who would like to know how to use digital marketing and social media methods to level up their businesses. We've noticed a few key misses which are super-easy to fix. In fact, some of these "issues" can be resolved in less than five minutes. Sounds super-easy right? Well yes, it is, but not if you're so overwhelmed with running your small business that you don't know which way to turn, or how to find the time to sit down and get sh*t done. We suggest you schedule an hour on your calendar to run through this list, then get ready for high fives all round!
1. Write down exactly what your shop sells, in one single sentence
You might have had a really clear idea of this when you first launched, but over time, the waters become more muddy, and you become a hybrid of styles, or end up pivoting and adjusting your product selection to best fit your customer. Make sure you can still define what makes your shop unique in a single sentence. If you can't summarise your offering easily, it's possible you have drifted off course and need to narrow your focus again to get a handle on your brand identity.
2. Update your bio on your social media channels
Once you've created your sentence, update your social media profiles to include this information across all platforms. An example might be: "Emerald Java Boutique sells funky modern Asian homewares and affordable gifts from up and coming local designers", or our own Delilah mission statement which is "Helping entrepreneurs take their small businesses and startups to the next level with awesome branding and kick-ass websites, quickly and affordably".
3. Make sure you have a logo that works for digital and social media use
Social media forces your logo into a small size than your designer might have considered when creating it, especially if it has been designed to splash across a shopfront. Consider how your logo fits into a square or circular space, how visible it is at a small size and whether it stands out well against a white background. Many brands with longer names just use a signature brand mark, or the first letter of their brand name for this purpose. If you need help with this, give us a shout. It's kinda what we're good at.
4. Clean up your URL in your Social Media bio
Make sure you use your "pure" URL in your social media bios - that means www.delilahcreative.com, NOT, http://www.delilahcreative.com/html, or the like. This goes for even if you're linking to a specific product or post. If your URL structure is a big mess, use a bit.ly link.
5. Make sure your shop's address, opening hours and telephone number are on every page of your website
If you don't have an e-commerce store, the number one reason people are visiting your website, is to find out these details. Make it easy for them to come to see you.
6. Create a quick content calendar
What can you realistically commit to in terms of a schedule for posting blog or social media content. Once a day? Once a week? Whatever schedule works for you, plan what you're posting about in advance, and batch-process your content so you bang it out when you're in the zone, and don't leave it to chance (as stuff will always come up that seems more important). We use Google Sheets for our calendar scheduling, which have the benefit that they can be shared my multiple team members.
7. Check the meta description on your website
A meta-description is just a piece of HTML/XHTML text which describes what your website (or pages within your website) is all about. It's less and less useful for SEO, but it is SUPER-useful for getting people to click through to your site from a google search. To check whether this is set up properly on your site, just google your business name, and check what the snippet underneath your brand name and URL says. Does this match the first sentence from tip number 1? Is it in the right ballpark? Or is it a totally random piece of text which you don't really know where it came from? If the latter, you can use a tool like Yoast to get this fixed, or ask your developer or site support to point you in the right direction so you can make the edit.
8. Make sure you have Google Analytics installed on your website
You'd be amazed how many small businesses don't have Google Analytics installed in 2016. Do yourself a favour, and make sure you're sorted.
9. Set yourself a weekly alarm to check your stats
Then set an alarm to do a quick check every week on your top-level stats. You don't need to get obsessed (it's just one metric for your business), but it can help you identify opportunity areas and understand more about your website visitors.
10. Introduce "Marketing Monday" (or any other day) to your schedule
Then carve out time to spend an hour or two on that day to spend on blogging, content creation, collaborations or photoshoots to invest in building your brand. Allocating time on just one day will make your more efficient, and also free yourself of the guilt on other days when you are having to work IN your business instead of on it. Do you have any more digital marketing hacks for bricks and mortar businesses? We'd love to hear them if so! And if you're a bricks and mortar business who would like to know more about how Delilah Creative can help you level up your business, just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We all know that there is the casting method for sand casting, this method is cast into steel casting, alloy casting, nonferrous metal casting,etc. But you know, to the sand casting, the price is relatively cheap, but it is very simple to cast, so the large quantities production is acceptable. In the foundry industry, this is the basic craft. So, this casting way can be seen in foundry industry.
Because it can be better and faster to come up with some useful things, so people adopt sand casting method. In this case, a lot of them are made in this casting way which is the casting trend. Development from one stage to another; changes from one stage to another; breakthroughs and improvements from one stage to another.
In a long time ago, there is no better casting way due to casting price is very expensive, the charge is much more and the casting technology is also slightly backward, so manufacturing is not so much and good. but slowly, after a change in technology, it is slowly getting better, the foundry industry is more and more developed after the technology changes.Thanks for the technology development ,the sand casting method occurs.
It is more convenient for people with the sand casting appearance and can adapt this sand casting method. It's really a good way. So,many foundry industries use this sand casting method.

If the car is economical to repair we can authorise repairs with the garage and arrange payment to them directly once cover is ok. If it is not going to be economical to repair we will write to you and advise you what happens next.

We will also request certain documents relating to the vehicle from you. For example a completed claim form, a photocopy of the Vehicle Licensing Certificate or details of any Finance Agreement.

Once a value has been agreed and the documents received are ok, we will settle the claim on the basis of the Pre Accident Value less the Salvage offer and Policy Excess

If we consider you at fault for an accident, we will settle any Third Party claims and notify you of the cost.

- Excess when not at fault?
I am not at fault for this accident, why do I have to pay an excess?
All insurance policies have a policy excess. This is payable if you make a claim for damage to your own car on your policy, whether or not you are at fault for the accident. However if you are found not to be at fault for the accident we will try to recover this amount from the other party.
- My Car has been stolen. What now?

Although we have to wait a defined period as outlined in your policy booklet before we will consider your car stolen, we can still start to process your claim.
After the policy defined period, if the vehicle is still unrecovered, we have completed our investigations and we have placed an agreed value on the vehicle and nothing is outstanding we will issue payment.
- When will I hear about my claim?
I reported a claim to you a few days ago. When will I hear from you again?
Depending on the accident, we may not need to contact you. This does not mean we are not dealing with your claim. If we need any more information we will be in touch.
We understand that having an accident can be traumatic no matter what the circumstances.
If there is any element of your claim you wish to discuss, do not hesitate to contact us.
If you have anything you think may help us with dealing with your claim, you can email to our email address: email@example.com.

The amount we will pay is limited to €200 where the claim is not processed through our Aligned Windscreen Repair network. This is not subject to excess and will not effect your No Claims Bonus entitlement.
- Claims and my No Claims Bonus?
Will a claim affect my No Claims Bonus?

Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board came in to existence in the year 1966,has been conducting SSLC and other examinations. Every year the student strength is increasing tremendously.
Every year in April about 8.50 Lakhs & in June 1.50 Lakhs students are appearing for the SSLC examinations.
The board has decided to improve the evaluation system and the results, every year the quantum of the board examination has been increasing and hence divisional offices of the Board have been set up in order to decentralize the student needs. The board is now providing Admission Tickets with student photographs and major breakthrough in this venture is the photos being used in the repeaters Admission Tickets also. The board has ventured to conduct the supplementary examination for the failed candidates of the examination of March in June month of every year itself; this will enable the students who would be successful in the June examination to join higher education courses in the same academic year from July itself. This process was introduced first time in the country.

8 Workplace Rights That You May Not Realize You Have
By Alison Green
Do you know what rights you have at work? You might assume that you can rely on your employer to follow the law in every circumstance, but in fact, many employers violate labor laws, often simply through ignorance. It pays to know what your rights are.
Here are eight of the most important workplace rights you might not realize you have.
1. Your employer can't withhold your paycheck for poor performance.
No matter how poorly you perform, your employer can't dock your salary. Make an error that costs the business thousands of dollars? Break an important piece of equipment? These are costs of doing business for your employer, and it can't come out of your paycheck. Of course, if you really mess up, you might get fired, but you still must be paid for all the hours you worked.
2. You must receive your paycheck promptly.
Most state laws dictate how soon you must receive your paycheck after a pay period ends. In some states, your employer may even be required to pay you additional money on top of your wages as a penalty if your paycheck is late.

3. Whether you're eligible for overtime pay isn't up to your employer; the government decides.
The federal government divides all types of jobs into one of two categories: exempt and non-exempt. If your job is categorized as non-exempt, your employer must pay you overtime (time and a half) for all hours you work above 40 in any given week. Your categorization is not up to your employer; it's determined by government guidelines.
4. Your employer cannot ask, require, or even allow you to work off the clock.
If you're a non-exempt employee, you must be paid for all time worked. You can't waive this right. Moreover, your employer cannot give you comp time in lieu of overtime pay.
5. Your employer can't stop you from discussing your salary with your co-workers.
The National Labor Relations Act says that employers can't prevent employees from discussing wages among themselves. Many employers have policies against this anyway, but these policies violate the NLRA law.

6. Similarly, your employer can't stop you from discussing your working conditions with your co-workers.
Here again, the NLRA protects you. The reason for the law is that employees wouldn't be able to organize if they were forbidden from talking with each other about such important issues.
7. Promises made in your employee handbook are often binding.
Circumstances vary, but in many cases, courts have ruled that promises made in employee handbooks are legally binding. In particular, pay attention to whether your company writes that it "will" or "shall" take particular actions; those statements are more likely to be binding than statements that your employer "may" or "can" do something.
8. Your employer can't pay you as a contractor while treating you like an employee.
If your employer controls when, where, and how you work, the government says you're an employee-and your company needs to pay your payroll taxes and offer you the same benefits it offers to regular employees.

The marketing machines are in full effect at Columbia, Warner Bros, and Paramount this week, as each studio released new TV spots for their upcoming films: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
We have five videos in total, so feel free to pick your poison. Do you want to see Rooney Mara looking edgy, Robert Downey Jr. acting snide, or Tom Cruise flexing his action star muscles? It's all here, and just in time for the holidays.
Each of these films opens next month, with Dragon Tattoo and Mission: Impossible actually facing off against each other at the box office on December 21st (Sherlock Holmes 2 opens earlier on December 6th).
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
To start things off, here are two new TV spots from David Fincher's new interpretation of the Swedish bestselling book-turned-movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Like the full-length trailer, these TV spots tease a very dark and thrilling suspense film with a strong cast.
Despite their much shorter length, the TV spots still manage to pack a strong punch and are certainly enough to pique the interest of the tens of millions of people who read and fell in love with late author Stieg Larsson's original "Millennium Trilogy."
Visually, Rooney Mara seems to fit the character of Lisbeth Salander very well and it will be interesting to see if a strong performance in this film helps launch the actress further into the mainstream. More than anything though, I'm interested to hear Trent Reznor's score for the film, which promises to be an excellent accompaniment to the movie's slick neo-noir plot.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Guy Ritchie's 2009 action-adventure film Sherlock Holmes was a huge success at the box office and was also well-liked by critics. It's no wonder then that the sequel seems to have followed the same formula.
Like the previous trailers for A Game of Shadows, the TV spots for the sequel have stuck to what made the first film such a success: Robert Downey Jr. acting like a charming jerk, Jude Law rolling his eyes, and lots of stuff blowing up. For these two new TV spots, the emphasis is heavy on the action. They're extremely similar, with the latter showing off a touch more humor. There's nothing in there that you probably haven't seen before, but if you're a Holmes fan, it's still a fun way to spend 60 seconds of your time.
Sherlock Holmes has been criticized by some as a steampunk Iron Man (in that they both feature a brilliant, charming, smart-ass hero played by Robert Downey Jr.), but there's a reason that the first film grossed over half a billion dollars worldwide. As a piece of escapist entertainment, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows looks like it will fit the bill nicely.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Speaking of stuff blowing up, the latest TV spot for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol wants to squeeze in all of the eye-popping action from the movie's IMAX trailer into 30 seconds. It's not the most successful effort, but it gets the job done.
If you aren't already familiar with the plot of MI4, this TV spot gives it to you in a nutshell. Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt and has team are implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin. To clear their names, Tom has to climb around on some giant building (or something to that effect).
Personally, I'm more excited to see the Dark Knight Rises prologue that screens before Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol than the film itself - but that doesn't mean that MI4 won't be a solid action flick for the Christmas season.
Despite his bizarre antics in recent years and his faltering status as an A-List Alpha Dog, Tom Cruise still looks good as an action star and it also looks like director Brad Bird's skill with animated films really came through in live-action (which should be no surprise to fans of Pixar's The Incredibles).
What do you think of these TV spots? How would you rank these three films in your must-see lis this December?
As stated, you can catch Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in theaters on December 6, 2011.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol will both be in theaters on December 21, 2011.

No bsia in deny the role of bed both design and size affect the mind. While a bedroom may be just a place to sleep, when space is at a premium, we are often forced to increase the function of the bedroom so that it becomes, for Example also a place to watch television, to sew or read, or even a place to work. At the same time, those people who are lucky enough to have large bedrooms, are able to furnish and decorate them so that they are both good-looking and multi-functional.
Therefore, the selection of sleeping mattresses become important in the decoration of the bedroom. They will also depend very definitely on whose bedroom it is. Whilst the typical adult bedroom can be a boudoir from which animals and children are banned, many young parents will be more likely to want a welcoming and safe place where children pile into bed with them and dogs curl up next to the bed. If you are sleeping with your child, choose the appropriate bed, do not forget the brand as well.

For any bedroom to function successfully, it is important to put some careful thought into the planning process – before any type of decorating begins.

For example you should consider the shape and size of the room you are working with and look at this in relation to the functions the room will fulfill. Working with a large room is not necessarily easy from working with a small one. Sometimes the demands of small spaces make us more creative and imaginative. Large bedrooms often just end up with lots of empty, unused space.

Overall experience was positive. I felt the staff was very responsive to my needs as well as in addressing any concerns or questions that I had. Food was outstanding and kitchen staff accommodating to special needs. My room was always kept cleaned and I always had fresh towels for the bathroom. Better than a lot of hotels I have stayed in. Before I arrived at Novus I was nervous and even scared of what the process would be like. However as each day passed I was surprised at how smoothly my transition went as I was tapered off of Valium. Although I have more healing and work ahead of me, I am very glad to be off of benzos. Because of this experience at Novus I feel confident to face the challenges of the coming weeks as I continue my healing. Chemist (Valium)

While appropriations committees determine what money is given to various programs, authorizing committees decide the general policies and programs that Appropriators can fund. In talking about the budget for the Department of Energy and particularly the Office of Nuclear Energy, the general policies and programs are decided in the House by the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee.
And what this committee decides show how things might go over the next year and beyond. The Science Committee members have consistently expressed a lot of interest in next-generation nuclear technology – and on a bipartisan basis.
That brings us to this amendment from Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.):
Developing an advanced reactor innovation testbed where national laboratories, universities, and industry can address advanced reactor design challenges to enable construction and operation of privately funded reactor prototypes to resolve technical uncertainty for United States-based designs for future domestic and international markets.This bolsters the testbed approach and amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to incorporate it. The committee accepted this amendment; we'll see what the full House does with it later.
I looked for more evidence that the committee sees this as a key direction – and found it, in spades. In December, the committee hosted NuScale and Transatomic to discuss nuclear energy topics and Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) expressed his view of the nuclear landscape.
Nuclear power is a proven source of emission-free electricity that has been generated safely in the United States for over half a century. However, our ability to move from R&D to market deployment has been hampered by government red tape and partisan politics. We are just now seeing the first reactors under construction in more than 30 years. This hiatus has diminished our supply chain and ability to build new reactors. In fact, the United States no longer has the capability to manufacture large reactor pressure vessels.In another hearing (on nuclear fusion), Smith is even more direct:
Depriving the U.S. ITER program [an experimental fusion reactor hosted in France] of the funds it needs to accomplish its goals is not good policy. To maintain our competitive advantage, we must continue to support fundamental basic research that encourages the creation and design of next generation technologies.Which is answered in part by Lipinski's amendment.
Energy Subcommittee Chairman Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) echoed Smith's comments:
Nuclear energy was born in the United States. We have the best scientists and engineers in the world. Yet, we are not seeing the pace of commercial technology advancement that we would expect. At the same time, other countries including China are surging ahead.One doesn't have to agree with all of this to see how the committee is interested in the forward momentum of nuclear energy, fission and fusion. Industry is ready – it seems the government is eager to follow suit.

Just 50 septic tanks to be inspected in Limerick
LIMERICK County Council is expected to carry out just 50 inspections of septic tanks between now and July of next year, it has emerged
And the Department of the Environment has set a national target of just 1,000 inspections.
Meanwhile, over 4,000 households in the county have not yet registered, despite the fact that not doing so leaves them open to prosecution and a possible fine of up to €5,000.
It also means they are ruled out from applying for a grant in the event their septic tank is found to be faulty.
The first inspections of tanks in the county will not, however, take place until later this month or early next month. And householders who are to face inspections will be given a ten-day warning.
The council is waiting for legislation covering the grants to be published before it begins any inspections, senior engineer in the environment section, Anne Goggin told the Limerick Leader this week.
The outlines of the scheme have been made public, she said, but so far, the regulations and forms are not available.
Grants will be made available to households with faulty septic tanks, provided they registered before last February 1.
A grant of €4,000 or 80% of the rehabilitation costs will be available to households with incomes under €50,000 while a grant of €2,500 or 50% of the costs will be open to those with incomes between €50-75,000. .
"We have been told we have to prioritise inspections of unregistered tanks in the targeted risk areas," Ms Goggin said.
Meanwhile however, the council is finalising its own local inspection plan which must comply with the guidelines worked out by the Environmental Protection Agency and published online in its national inspection plan.
An excellent national risk-assessment has been undertaken, Ms Goggin explained, and the country has been mapped for risk with each local authority assigned a minimum number of inspections it must carry out in the first year.
A map of high risk areas in each county, including Limerick, has been drawn up and each local authority has been assigned a minimum number of inspections in each risk-area.
Limerick County Council, like other councils, is expected to focus on those areas where discharges of waste water pose the highest risks to health or the environment.
Inspectors will check that septic tanks are registered and not leaking and that the component parts are in working order.
They will also be ensuring that effluent is not "ponding" on the surface of the ground and that rainwater and clean surface water are not entering the system.
In addition, the inspection will involve checking whether desludging has taken place and ensuring that there is no discharge to any surface water without a licence.

Does our future lie in being open? Charlene Li, Thursday's keynote speaker certainly thinks so. Her talk, on the impact of social media in your organization, started with the story of David Carroll, a Canadian musician whose guitar was broken by United Airlines baggage handlers. He wrote a song about the experience, made a music video, and put it up on YouTube. It quickly went viral, much to the dismay of United, one presumes. To Li, this illustrates the importance of social media and the clout of our culture of sharing. "We must have the confidence to let go, to give up the need to be in control," she said.
She then listed the elements of openness as explaining, updating, conversing, open mic, and platform. The new decision making model is distributed rather than the old command and control model. Push out decision making to staff. Think open source in decision making.
How to get started in being an open leader? Start with defining your open strategy. You can't just be a brand, Li told us, you must be in the conversation. Then you should understand the benefits of openness. Facebook fans, for example, only have value if they do something. Next build trust and manage risks, orchestrate openness, and find and nurture open leaders. Finally plan to fail well.
Li ended by saying that open leaders nurture curiosity and are humble. They should hold openness accountable and forgive failure.

Tyler Gaudino
Ever since the age of five, Tyler has been intrigued by weather. Living in Connecticut as a kid, he loved the changing of the seasons and all the nor'easters that came up the coast during the winter. In his sophomore year of high school, he knew meteorology was for him when Hurricane Irene greatly impacted his hometown of East Haven, Connecticut. Since he wants to inform people on how damaging and powerful storms can be, he would like to pursue a career in broadcast meteorology or the field of climatology. Tyler is a member of the Meteorology Club here at Western Connecticut State University. After graduation, he would like to attend graduate school and complete a doctorate in meteorology.

The Earth Labyrinth is located in El Prado Park, Curridabat, Costa Rica.
It is open to the public year round, day and night. See location at the bottom of the page.
It was built for the Day One Celebration on December 21, 2013, when a group of people including Indian representatives from Costa Rica and North and South America presented a proposal of Peace with Mother Earth to the president of Costa Rica.
The geometric base is that of the Sacred Egg and with a compass and a ruler you can generate this figure easily,
It has two partitions and nine layers and the path is grassy with rock borders.
From a geometrical perspective, this labyrinth proceeds from the form of the egg, a figure whose energy is that of containing it all as the circle, but – as if the circle was pregnant – with a gesture of expansion, of reproduction.
Its form indicates that it is in a transformational process to create something new.
The number of centers establishes the direction, the goal of the experience. Since this is a single center labyrinth, it obviously attracts us to the center and represents the intention of connecting with our authentic essence.
The number of partitions establishes the strategy with which the goal is attained.
Having two partitions – one generating the entrance and the second the labrys at the other side – it evokes our terrestrial condition of contrast (ying-yang, abundance-lack), from which we may, if we assume a constructive attitude, attain balance and resolution.
The number of layers indicate the extension of the experience. With its nine layers, the Earth Labyrinth propels us towards the horizon of our potential, towards the frontiers of our creative capacity.
In synthesis, we have…
a geometry that evokes expansion
and the creation of something new
focusing in the connection with essence
to facilitate the resolution of day to day contrast and
expanding towards the frontiers of our human potential
As with any personal growth tool, this labyrinth only offers an experience in that direction. The intention of the walker is what makes the difference between a practice with or without meaning.
For personal growth,
Ronald Esquivel
Architect and Holistic Balance Instructor
