A Look At The Benefits of Being Project Manager Certified
For project management consultants, getting project manager certified can be a huge asset for their business and that's one of the benefits of the prince2 certification track. While professional certification is not a requirement for one to launch a practice, getting certified can be beneficial to you and could help improve your credibility and will make it easier for you to charge higher rates. If you are thinking of getting certified, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) and Project Management Professional (PMP) are the two certifications to go for today.
While you can be a successful project manager even without a certificate, getting accredited can still be of help. Here is a look at four ways accreditation can be useful to you:
1. It Can Help Improve Your Billing Rate
Experience and education are the two main things that generally determine a consultant's base rate. However, adding a known certification to your resume could help bump up your service charge rate. How? Because a majority of large and medium corporations prefer hiring or working with project managers who are certified. Many businesses are willing to pay more for that level of expertise and tend to make it a requirement when hiring project managers.
2. Creates More Opportunities
The number of people who are project management certified is increasing, and as it continues to rise, so does the number of corporations who recognize the importance of working with qualified professionals. Having PMP or CAPM certification will have an impact on your chances of getting hired or missing out on an opportunity as it is one of the things a client might consider when deciding to hire you or not.
3. Offers International Recognition
As a majority of project management certifications such PMP meet international requirements and standards, getting one will open up a world of opportunities for you. Most of these certifications are ISO-accredited, which means that as a certified project manager, you can work with international companies and clients with a global presence.
4. Establishes Credibility
To get PMP or CAPM certified, there are a couple of specific and rather stringent guidelines that you have to meet. These guidelines measure your professional knowledge, experience, and education. Apart from taking (and passing) a test, you will also be required to have at least 3 to 5 years of experience (depending on your level of education as a project manager), and have accrued about 4,500 to 7,500 hours of managing and leading projects. To become a certified project manager, you must also agree to adhere to an industry-centric code of ethics and professional conduct. Becoming a certified project manager is not that simple, but the title epitomizes a high-level of experience and professionalism that instantly boosts your credibility as a project management consultant.

Great info! thank you Ullergaard!
Great info! thank you Ullergaard!
Hello! Great info guys! Thank you Agitatorn and Ullegaard! Now im much wiser when i go next time to look the porcelains. One store here have lot of them,and i think some of them are fake. But now i know what to look.
The top Line reads clearly Gebrauchte Packmittel", that translates to "Used Packaging"
The second Line reads: "Alle hiermit zuletzt verpackten....", What
Means : "All Things recently packed herewith..."
I would agree that this is Just any german Stamp and Not related to anything from TR.
I don't think that they wrapped Something into their national Flag to ship it😉
Mit kameradschaftlichen Grüßen!
Hello! Thank you Nr16Lueneburg for the translation! Here is one picture the flag what is here in Finland. I try and try,but i cannot read that,maybe because of German language. Its little bit more readable that Agitatorns photo. Can you translate more of that pic?
EDIT: I think there reads "Die hiermit zuletzt...." ??
Last edited by Niko; 08-22-2019 at 09:36 PM. Reason: Flags texture and misspelling
Aah, now I can clearly read:
"Die hiermit zuletzt verpackten Güter sind
mit der Eisenbahn befördert worden."
What translates to:
The Cargo, recently packed herewith,
has Been transported by rail"
Than follows the Number, what could be a Date or something Like that, it could be the 20.05.1951.
I hope my Translation helps you a Bit.
Mit kameradschaftlichen Grüßen!

On 1st July a British brain damage survivor held a Walk With The Baron event to raise awareness and support for those suffering with all forms of brain damage. His goal was to walk a full marathon length of 42km but he encouraged all participants to set thei own goals. I wanted to try for a lap around the local lake but thats way beyond my current capabilities. It was about 2hrs on my feet anyway and a record for me. Wouldn't have been possible without the support of my dear friend Emma. She allowed me to try pushing myself with some new things. Her presence and patience helped so very much with my focus and feeling of safety.
Doesn't seem like much but good people like her make a world of good for people like myself. She has her own family and health concerns but kindly gave me support I badly needed. I wish i could be half as good a person as she is.

By Colleen O'Connor
Trump's governmental shutdown over a "great big wall that Mexico will pay for" and that he "is proud to own" is now more joke than serious policy.
Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
Not only will Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer never yield, neither will the late-night comedians.
Why? Because a "4th-century wall" is porous and dumb.
People can climb over it. Tunnel under it. Use a catapult to deliver contraband over it.
High-tech improvements, more border guards, drones, and better coordination with Mexican and Central American governments to stop the flow of immigrants and refugees would be money better spent.
Even the steel slats that Trumps now argues are "absolutely critical to border security" have become a joke.
Why? Because his own Department of Homeland Security "tested a steel slat prototype and proved it could be cut through with a saw."
A photo exclusively obtained by NBC News showed the results of the test after experts from the Marine Corps were instructed to attempt to destroy the barriers with common tools.
Then, there was Trump's latest walkout while supposedly negotiating with Pelosi and Schumer. This, according to his own lawyer, is a "signature ploy" that Trump has used in his divorce proceedings and business dealings "when a deal wasn't going his way." By now it has become tiresome.
Even Trump may now understand that he is flailing.
Like a "dead man walking," the President commented that his prime time Oval Office address and the visit to the Texas border "won't change a damn thing."
Indeed, the landowners along the proposed wall route are already resisting buyouts and threats of eminent domain.
So, what is a President to do? He has three "Plan B" choices: go big, go back or go bust.
Go big is the option being led by moderate senators and Jared Kushner, who want to end the shutdown and devise a way to get Trump off the ledge before he jumps into a "declaration of a national emergency." It would include a path to citizenship for Dreamers, humanitarian aid for Central American refugees seeking asylum and some money for the border security and "fencing."
Go back merely asks Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring to the Senate floor the bill that nearly all senators and House members voted to approve just last month. Trump had signaled his support for the measure, but quickly reneged after a backlash from conservative TV and radio commentators because "wall" funding was not included.
Go bust appears to be the trajectory the President currently prefers. His Oval Office speech showed him in a sober setting with not just "low energy," but great difficulty reading from a teleprompter. It reduced his stature and leverage in prime time.
His visit to the Mexican border will do even less to advance his position. Paychecks, food vouchers, farm aid, airport safety, Coast Guard operations—and even produce inspections—are just a few of the downsides produced by an unnecessary government shutdown. And they are hitting his base.
The popularity of the President has declined. His inability to comprehend the quicksand under him and his "wall" makes for compelling theater amid unnecessary chaos.
Pray the President does not "listen to his gut" and find an emergency "Plan C."

After six years of producing its costumes in neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago, the local masquerade band Fantasy has moved its full production to Barbados.
Managing Director of Fantasy Barbados Amanda Reifer made the announcement at a press conference earlier this week in which she spoke of the many challenges her band experienced in importing costumes from the twin island republic.
"Over the years we have had some challenges with shipping, having to fly costumes in, the whole production process, distribution and so forth and although we have managed to do our best in that aspect what we have realized is that it hasn't really benefitted masquerade production in Barbados, so this year the band is moving [its] production home to Barbados," explained Reifer.
However, the band will still be utilizing Trinidadian designers, even though Reifer sees new opportunities for interested Barbadians to learn about masquerade production and design.
"We have already reached out to Barbados Community College Fine Arts students and they will be interning at the band house," Reifer said.
She also announced that two American celebrities will be jumping with Fantasy this year.
"The first celebrity who has agreed to come to Barbados for Crop Over [2016] is Naturi Naughton. You would know her as Tasha from the hit [American television] series Power, a very exciting series with lots of drama, and [she] and her entourage will be coming to Barbados between July 27th til Crop Over.
"We are also very excited to have Rotimi, his real name is Olurotimi Akinosho, as our second celebrity and you would also know him from Power, but you will mostly remember him from the Divergent series," said an excited Reifer.
The band, which had previously welcomed American actress Columbus Short and international model Jourdan Dunn, has been promoting a concept of "celebrity culture tourism", which has been endorsed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth, as well as the Ministry of Tourism.
"One of the key reasons why we [Fantasy Barbados] have been able to attract celebrities since 2014 is for our charity which is the HIV Food Bank of Barbados. The celebrities are here for the charity first and foremost. The idea is to draw attention and awareness on an international level, but also locally to the plight of persons living with HIV/AIDS that require basic sustenance through the HIV Food Bank," added Reifer.

Scranton, PA –For the second consecutive day, the Lackawanna College Baseball team rallied late in the game to claim a victory in the second game of Sunday's twin-bill. The Falcons scored ten runs in the sixth to claim the 17-12 win over ASA College and a split of their non-conference doubleheader. The Avengers took the first game of the day by a score of 13-4.
In game one, ASA dominated the contest scoring nine runs before Lackawanna put their initial run on the scoreboard in the fourth inning.
At the plate, the Falcons were held to four hits, with Wady Tactuk contributing the only extra base hit, a RBI double in the third. The remaining three hits were singles provided by Colin Weinert, Ryan Cole and Kelani Luke.
Barry Sanders suffered the loss giving him a season win/loss record of 1-1.
In game two, Lackawanna took an early 7-0 lead through the first three innings of the game. However, the Avengers bounced back and by the conclusion of the top of the sixth held a 10-7 lead. For the second day in succession, the Falcons again showed their never give up attitude. Today they scored ten runs in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI double by Kelani Luke, an RBI Single and two run double by Ryan Cole, a two run single by Chris Skermo and RBI base on balls issued to Wady Tactuk, Zac Granger, Luke and Colin Weinert. The Avengers did score two in the seventh but they could not overcome the Falcons' ten run rally as the Lackawanna held on for a 17-12 win.
Lackawanna totaled fifteen hits in the nightcap with seven of those hits going for extra base hits and ten contributed by four players in multi hit contests. Lackawanna's must productive batters were Ryan Cole and Kelani Luke. In four at bats, Cole singled, doubled twice, tripled, scored twice and drove in five. Luke provided two singles, two doubles, four runs scored and three RBIs in his four plate appearances. The other two hit games were recorded by Zac Granger and DJ Berry-Staszak. Granger scored twice and drove in two more on two singles in four visits to the plate, while Berry-Staszak scored three times on a single and double in his four official visits to the dish. The Falcons remaining extra base hit was a two run double by Thylar Summarell in the first.
Kelani Luke was credited with the win. Luke's win/loss record is now 2-1 with one save.
The Falcons take the diamond again on Tuesday when they travel to Loch Sheldrake, New York, to play in a single nine inning game. Game time for that contest is 4:00 PM.

Star Wars' latest virtual experience game allows you to own and raise virtual porgs.
Announced at 2019 Magic Leap's L.E.A.P. Conference, ILMxLAB -- the immersive entertainment division of LucasFilms -- has created a mixed reality game called Project Porg. The premise of Project Porg is that Chewbacca has left you with a porg and a holographic device. The holographic device contains care instructions from C-3PO, who is voiced by longtime Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels in-game. Over the course of time, the game will teach players porg living habits and routines. According to Matt Martin, Creative Executive for the LucasFilm Story Group, the relationship with your porg is similar to owning a cat or dog.
RELATED: May The Porg Be With You: 15 Porg Memes That Broke The Internet
In Project Porg, your porg builds a family and, soon, you find yourself raising a murder of porgs. You can keep your porgs entertained by having them chase light from a laser pointer, play fetch with a virtual ball or even chew on a little Chewbacca chew toy.
The designers at ILMxLAB collaborated with the team that helped create porgs for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Porgs were created for the 2017 film as a means of addressing the native wildlife that lived on Skelling Michael, the real-life Irish island that doubled for Ahch-To in the movie. The island was covered in puffins and it was impossible to move or erase them, so they were digitally transformed into porgs.
RELATED: Star Wars: Lightsaber Dueling Is Officially a Sport in France
According to Vicki Dobbs Beck, the Executive in Charge of ILMxLAB, Project Porg is an "aspirational experiment" with the goal of sparking interest in mixed reality. Also called hybrid reality, mixed reality combines virtual worlds with real life to create "living stories." Because players aren't bound to a television or tethered console, users have an extreme amount of mobility and freedom to take characters out of their homes.
Project Porg will be available December 2019 as a free digital download for the augmented reality headset Magic Leap One.

Any opinions expressed are those of

rally, comparative analysis, growing House support give hope
By Mike
broke a cardinal rule of journalism Saturday. It's OK since I'm
not a journalist. That rule is someone reporting a story should not
become part of the story. Accordingly, I shouldn't have spoken to
the crowd at the LDC rally and then written an article as well as
preparing a report for Channel 15.
understand the concept quite clearly and agree with it just about
most of the time. But not this time. Not this Saturday.
people at LDC, through their union, felt I should be among the
political figures, resident guardians and community leaders who were
given a few moments to help employees of the beleaguered institution
realize that they are not alone in their fight to keep the
institution open. If I were asked to speak a thousand times at this
rally, I would have said yes just as many.
the event you feel my observations are now biased or jaded, I will,
as always, leave that up to you. This is what I saw. This is what I
heard. Most importantly, this is what I felt.
felt like I had gone back in time to an old fashioned 1960s union
rally. Aggressive words used to excite an audience to become part of
the rhetoric filled the auditorium that day. To some on the stage, I
could sense a discomfort. This wasn't a quiet "meet the
candidates" forum. This was an old-fashioned "You take my
job over my dead body" kind of gathering. In 20 years, I have
never seen the likes in Logan County.
sat on stage between more political candidates than you can shake a
stick at. There were Davis and Bomke and Wright. There
were even Klingler and Brady and
Mitchell on the folding chairs
around me.(*) Yes, I should say their full
names, their party affiliation and where they live, but I feel like
breaking another rule of proper reporting today.
important in my mind was the fact that Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Paul Vallas was there. The man got up and stated for the
record that as governor he would fix LDC and keep it open. The
political correctness of the statement was, of course, self-serving
but the repercussions could be immense. To date no candidate for
governor has come out from behind the curtain to even acknowledge
the LDC issue. Vallas' comments may cause those more timid than he
to realize a block of voters is awaiting their input now, not come
next spring.
Rep. Jonathan Wright advised us that a full 96 percent of the
reportable observations at LDC ended with positive conclusions.
Wright stated that was an A in his book. It is in mine as well. As I
sat next to Jonathan I constantly felt bad that he will be lost to
us so soon as our state representative.
[to top of second column in this
listened intently as AFSCME Deputy Director Roberta Lynch reported
on how other institutions and community homes in a 50-mile radius
have been faring in fulfilling their state-mandated mental health
residency requirements. I was shocked to hear of bathrooms with no
toilet paper or soap, of defective sprinkler systems and smoke
alarms with dead batteries. I listened as reports of poorly trained
staff and improper medication safeguards came from her speech. I
have always wondered why there has been no comparative analysis made
as to how LDC stands among its peers. Here was the telling
information I have been so dearly trying without success to obtain
I listened to Lynch's report, I became angry at the media.
Throughout this entire story, only what has been spoon fed to the
press has made the news. Why, I
have to ask, hasn't anyone in the media sought this information
out themselves. Isn't another rule of journalism to ask questions
and to seek both sides of a story. Are all the reporters, especially
in area television, simply now like waiters, who write down what
they are told without a single question or effort to go farther.
hope others at the rally walked away with the same feelings I did. I
can base it on nothing substantive, but it seems that it is becoming
"en vogue" for politicians to come to the aid of LDC. That
is what it is going to take to keep the center open. We as residents
of Lincoln can do just so much. A united General Assembly taking up
the cause is the only true means of winning this battle. I think I
saw the birth of just that this past Saturday.

the while hoping to be one with each other. For some of us the
ledger of life remained balanced, while others found good fortune
offsetting those among us who saw better moments, better years in
their life's journeys.
a nation, we have seen the darkest days in our country enfold before
our eyes, yet have gained a sense of pride in our collective
humanity and compassion that we long ago forgot ourselves capable of
expressing. For just a moment in this country's life, we realized
that beliefs and faith in our system and ourselves could bridge the
gaps of political parties, of regions and ethnicity.
a local level, we found that we could come together as a community
to try to save an institution that for 124 years was taken for
granted by so many of us.
with all years there were many stories that are now marked by the
scale we call 2001. Each day 33,000 new chapters were added to the
lives of those who have chosen to
call this community our home. For many of us the stories of 9-11 and
LDC took pre-eminence over all the other innumerable moments that
created our personal histories.
World Trade Center attack has to be the lead story in our community
this year, even to those of us who
were 1,500 miles away from the disaster. The effects, the concept
that foreign invaders could take away from us what we had honestly
earned and strived for, carried beyond
the borders of a city called New York.
the "Public Expression of Patriotism," perhaps 1,500
of us gathered on the courthouse square to tell ourselves as well as
the world that all the protections we have in this great country,
although often taken for granted, are not and have never been taken
lightly. With dollars and tears and prayers, this community said for
all who would listen that we are our brother's keepers.
the days that followed, the concern about whether it is appropriate
to burn an American flag was replaced with the issues of where can I
purchase one and what is the appropriate way to display Old Glory.
The difficult-to-sing "Star-Spangled Banner" was replaced
at events throughout the nation with "God Bless America,"
as those who wish to keep God and country separate stayed their lips
as we reassembled our country's spirit. How many of us sang that
song these past few months as we never did before. How many of us
wiped the mistiness from our eyes as, gathered with others, we found
ourselves feeling special because we help make up the collective
called America.
plight of the Lincoln Developmental Center galvanized this community
like no other issue I can recall. Employees, ridiculed and assaulted
with lies and half-truths concerning their actions toward their
wards, looked to all of us for strength and support. That is what we
gave and continue to give. None of us went to purchase assault
rifles or formed militias. We didn't attempt to commandeer an
airplane or blow up a building that houses our detractors. As
Americans we used the promises of the Constitution to express our
opinions. We used the freedoms of speech and assembly to give voice
to our words. We used the right to petition and addressed our
grievances through thousands of letters to those in power who needed
the gentle reminder that they are where they are only by our graces.
We learned that in a community that seems to be able to divide on
issues as seemingly obvious as whether gold has more worth than
manure, that we could in fact come together.
the year 2001, Logan County learned what Thomas Carlyle knew 150
years ago: "In the midst of my winter, I finally realized there
was in me an invincible summer." All of us have an invincible
summer. The year 2001 was necessary to make us realize that. How
unfortunate that this knowledge had to be purchased as it was.
January clearance time
away excess snow hasn't been an issue so far this year, but
sometimes in January there'd be a case for having a clearance on
snow along with all the other winter items.
could advertise if we had a supply: "Free snow — all you can
scoop up." One drawback for that sort of campaign would be that
most snow is free anyway, except for the kind they add at ski
resorts. The bills come from heating up the accompanying colder air
and rearranging the white stuff — getting it off the roads, for
example. Also, I'm not sure who would take advantage of such an
offer unless tourists from snow-deprived areas came to take some
away in coolers as a novelty.
our January travel has been unusually easy, I've gotten in on more
of the traditional clearance sales this year. Sale-priced mittens
and scarves didn't interest me for some reason, but shirts and
shoes are useful in milder temperature ranges. On an uncommonly warm
day, I even ventured to a mall to use up a few Christmas gift
certificates that hadn't been doing anybody any good in a drawer
for three or four years.
indicated that other people had been clearing out their old gift
certificates too. One person cashed in a certificate that replaced a
previous certificate that had expired before she got around to
spending the money. Another person reported using a certificate from
a year ago when his employer "was still giving out things like
that." From a rack of half-priced shirts, he got three
"for $7.95 out of pocket." He said, "If the mobs at
that mall are any indication, consumer spending is still
clearance happens at home too. After the buying trip, for example, I
was ready to clear out old shoes to make room for the new ones. When
four worn pairs moved out and two new pairs moved in, I considered
it a net gain for me.
I went shopping, I'd gotten around to doing clearance in a few
cabinets. It was about time. In the bathroom I found five new
toothbrushes and four old models, besides the one I was using
regularly. After throwing away five, I promoted a new one to
everyday use and left four on the waiting list.
the way a box of soap scraps fell, spilling the contents left over
from many bars used at the sink. I vaguely recalled a television
commentator's remarks about sharp soap and what it would be like
to be rich enough not to use soap down to the last sharp-edged
pieces. I also recalled that my dad put together a large, egg-shaped
conglomerate from soap scraps of many colors, so I cleared mine out
by melting the remnants together to make a brand-new clump of old
clearing junk from a kitchen cabinet, one of the messes that
confronted me was an overflowing supply of twisted closures from
bread wrappers. It wasn't a big sacrifice to decide that a few of
the best ones in each color would be enough to have on hand.
certain packaged food products came under the scrutiny of a reality
test: Do I know how long this has been around? Would I prepare it
for a guest? Would I use it myself? Then what is it doing here? That
helped to clear out a few items of indeterminate age.
trouble with clearance is that it's an ongoing project, since
anything that comes in will need to go out someday. It's hard to
keep up.
Clearance delays and mixed
seasons are understandable. Recently I saw both a discarded
Christmas tree and a smashed pumpkin outside one house. My porch
pumpkins are gone now, but not my Christmas tree. I only recently
got mine — on sale, of course, when 4-inch pots of Norfolk pines
were 75 percent off. It's just a little reminder of how much green
you can save when it's clearance time.

teacher announces her candidacy for regional superintendent of
Jean Anderson, candidate
31, 2001] My
name is Jean Anderson and I am announcing my intent to be a
Republican candidate for the office of Regional Superintendent of
Schools for Logan, Mason, and Menard counties.
am a graduate of Lincoln College and Sangamon State University (now
the University of Illinois, Springfield). I have a Master's
Degree in Educational Administration and hold the Type 75
certificate, both requirements for the position of Regional
Superintendent. I am currently employed by Lincoln Elementary
District #27 Schools as the eighth grade Language Arts teacher at
The Lincoln Junior High School, a position I have held for the past
seventeen years. I also serve that school as its Discipline and
Attendance Officer.
member of the First United Methodist Church of Lincoln, I was its
organist for over 22 years and currently serve on the Board of
Trustees. I am chair of the Communications and Bargaining committees
and treasurer of the Lincoln Elementary Education Organization, and
also belong to the Illinois Education Association, the National
Education Association, and the Lincoln Junior High School
Parent-Teacher Organization.
daughter of Lincoln residents Paul E. and the late Helen Musa
Rankin, I have resided in Lincoln and Logan County for my entire
life. My husband of thirty-two years, Mike, is a Logan County
Highway Department employee. We are parents of Jonathan Anderson,
Director of Instrumental Studies at The Victoria College, Victoria,
Texas; and James Anderson, a kindergarten teacher at Mt. Pulaski
Grade School, Mt. Pulaski, Illinois. My sister, Susan Rohrer, and
her family also reside in Lincoln.
I am a political novice, I believe I would be an effective Regional
Superintendent. For one, I am a strong written and oral
communicator, due to many years of teaching and music performance. I
have a working knowledge of school law and the many issues educators
currently face. Having spent seventeen years in the classroom, I am
very much aware of the concerns felt by today's teachers. I have
received formal training in negotiations, employer/employee team
building, and conflict resolution, and have served as chief
negotiator for our district's bargaining team. Our last three
contracts have been settled amicably, without mediation or
work-stoppage. In addition, I am organized and work well both
independently and in group situations.
[to top of second column in
recertification is an important new issue in the education field. I
am currently serving as a member of my district's Local Professional
Development Committee, a group responsible for overseeing and
assessing the state-required recertification requirements of our
teaching staff. I received training for this position through the
Springfield Regional Office of Education. Part of my duties as
Regional Superintendent will be to provide local training for the
teachers of Logan, Mason, and Menard counties, and assist them in
the recertification process. I also plan to work with local school
districts that want to become Providers, a designation that allows
them to bring on-site training for their staff rather than sending
them to another location for training or paying an outside group for
facilitating the process.
elected, my intention is to continue in the professional and
dedicated manner of our current Regional Superintendent George
Janet. Not only has his leadership been outstanding, the fact that
he is a resident of this county has been a definite advantage for
all Logan County citizens, and he has represented the Republican
party well. I believe that it is advantageous for this tradition to
continue. Therefore, I feel that my party affiliation, my residency
in this county, my strong ties with area schools and school
personnel, and my knowledge and dedication to current issues make me
a strong contender for the position of Regional Superintendent.

Recently developed entrainment software has been designed to correct specific imbalances in hemispheric activity associated with undesirable mind-states. For example, people suffering with depression often have more activity in the right hemisphere, and specially designed brainwave music decreases this activity while increasing activity in the left hemisphere, reducing depression.
With brainwave entrainment audio, the brain will "catch on" and follow (entrain to) the desired brainwave frequency. BrainAscend uses the binaural and isochronic type of entrainment together with amplitude modulation. Isochronic tones have been proven to be the most effective brainwave entrainment technology and does not require headphones. Binaural beats are powerful when it comes to increasing synchronization of the brain hemispheres. You don't have to use headphones, though it is suggested. This is automatic meditation. Press play, close your eyes and BrainAscend does the rest!
Eric Thompson is a co-founder of iAwake Technologies, LLC and was its Chief Technology Officer. Although no longer with iAwake Technologies, his contributions have been immense. Eric is also an inventor, researcher, and producer, and is considered one of the world's foremost brainwave entrainment experts. In addition, Eric is a pioneer in the development of biofield entrainment technology, which digitally captures and transmits life-enhancing and beneficial subtle energies to the human biofield via any digital medium, including pictures, audio, and film. By combining this emerging technology with an unconventional, innovative, and original approach to audio brainwave entrainment, Eric strives to make profound spiritual development and emotional freedom more easily accessible to all. He writes and speaks on the intersection between neuroscience, psychology, subtle energy, and spirituality.
In 1839 Heinrich Wilhelm Dove discovered binaural beats, which led to the further discovery of the frequency following response and the beginnings of the science of brainwave entrainment. This science uses the power of specialized sound to FORCE your brain to stop producing defective brainwave patterns - OVERRIDING them to create positive neural feedback instead. Endorphins are created to alleviate pain, serotonin increases to combat anxiety - happy brain chemicals of all kinds are made in response. And the best news? As you continue with it, your brain re-learns to produce these healthy, beneficial and healing brainwaves on its own!
Sound and light are the most popular methods to entrain the mind, yet there are a few other options in our toolbox. Using vibrational energy from sources such as magnets and electricity has been proven to help overcome addictions, depression, and even treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson's. In this section, we cover these alternative forms of brainwave entrainment.
2. Dimensional sound insures that the brain perceives the entrainment as more realistic, which produces more natural and thorough engagement in each meditation. Not only does this create more pronounced effects and an intensified response, but it also avoids the fatigue generated by overuse of standard sound – as can occur with extended use of other audios.
The Transparent Corp forum – This forum is an invaluable resource for any brainwave entrainment user or enthusiast. Most of the feedback is obviously focused on the Transparent Corp software, but with over 20,000+ posts now you can find answers to the whole array of brainwave entrainment questions on there. (UPDATE: Sadly, the Transparent Corp forum has now been taken offline)
2) You are being dissociated – When using AVE, you get drawn into the present moment and let go of thoughts relating to your daily hassles, hectic schedules, paying bills, worries, threats or anxieties and stop the unhealthy mental "chatter." Dissociation involves a "disconnection" of self from thoughts and body awareness, as is experienced during deep meditation. Dissociation begins in four to eight minutes from properly applied AVE.

Clinical testing of Brain Sync programs resulted in a record-breaking 87% success rate. They are offered to patients at America's most prestigious hospitals such as Sloan Kettering and Dana Farber Institutes. EEG studies conducted at Harvard Body Mind Medical School, and UCLA concluded that Kelly Howell's Brain Wave Audio Technology® prompts brain activity into extraordinary body-mind states. Vist our Research Findings page for a full list of articles from the Harvard Medical School, the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Psychology Today that concur: the benefits of guided meditation, binaural beats, brainwave entrainment and positive subliminal messaging are real and profound.

I would like to start off by saying that many bold statements are made about this technology from people who have a self-interest in promoting or rejecting it. We have to face the truth by accepting that people are profiting from brainwave entrainment, and as a result of this other groups of people are being affected in a negative way (from a business point of view). This is a reason why you can find all kinds of claims from someone who has never used or tested the technology. Unfortunately I have found in my own personal journey of using brainwave entrainment that there are some great people out there making some great products, and there are also some irresponsible and untrustworthy people out there trying to grab a slice of the pie.
Participants in the included studies were children and adults, either healthy or with conditions such as learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, migraine, stress, anxiety and myofascial pain. Interventions included single, alternating, ascending or descending frequencies of photic or auditory stimulation or audiovisual entrainment selected either by the participant or by the investigator. Nearly half the studies used single sessions and the rest used multiple sessions ranging from nine to 100. Length of session varied from 0.5 seconds to 60 minutes. Frequency of session varied from twice daily to weekly. Outcomes reported in the review included cognition (including verbal skills, performance skills, attention, memory and overall intelligence/achievement), short- and long-term stress, pain, headache/migraine, mood, behavioural problems and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Your brain operates at certain levels of activity – the normal waking, active Beta, the meditative Alpha, the asleep-and-dreaming or deep meditative Theta, and the deep sleep/unconscious Delta. Beta is characterized by one thing we all want to get away from – stress.But that brainwave state has its place. It's the action mode, and that's the way it should be! If we're not alert when we're awake, bad things can happen, right?
Stress: In one randomized controlled trial with 108 participants, a single session of alpha and delta stimulation resulted in significantly less anxiety in surgical patients. Another session of theta stimulation resulted in improvement in certain measures of stress. Stimulation with certain frequencies of alpha and beta were reported to provide the most significant benefit for those who are stressed.
Good to hear from you and glad you got some value from the article. In total honesty I do feel that brainwave entrainment is safe, and that the big point is not to over-use it, or to push yourself too hard. You can almost think of it like an herb or nutritional supplement. You don't expect big results the day/week of taking it, and if you don't get results, you don't keep taking more. You take it in regular safe doses over a recommended period of time and let it synergistically work its magic. Generally I think you are safe to listen to the audio you made, I just recommend taking it gradually with gamma in particular. Listen for just 10-15 minutes at first and see how your brain handles it. If it doesn't produce any unwanted feelings then jump right in. But even then I recommend only listening once per day, and taking one day off per week.
And don't forget, the super-deep meditation and brain synchronization you'll experience with Holosync® also creates some truly amazing changes in mental and emotional health. Anger, depression, sadness, anxiety, substance abuse, and a whole universe of dysfunctional feelings and behaviors fall away—even in people who have "tried everything" without success!
5) Your cerebral blood flow is being increased - CBF is associated with many forms of mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, attentional problems, behavior disorders and impaired cognitive function. CBF tends to lower as we age often causing cognitive decline. People experiencing depressed mood usually have lower levels of CBF in the left frontal and prefrontal lobes.
In 1839 Heinrich Wilhelm Dove discovered binaural beats, which led to the further discovery of the frequency following response and the beginnings of the science of brainwave entrainment. This science uses the power of specialized sound to FORCE your brain to stop producing defective brainwave patterns - OVERRIDING them to create positive neural feedback instead. Endorphins are created to alleviate pain, serotonin increases to combat anxiety - happy brain chemicals of all kinds are made in response. And the best news? As you continue with it, your brain re-learns to produce these healthy, beneficial and healing brainwaves on its own!
I definitely NEED (& can feel a difference mentally) Gamma the most. Beta and Alpha do better my processing. Theta waves are TERRIBLE! My normal symptoms increase when listening to those frequencies! Delta has been helpful for me around nighttime. It has helped my sleep on occasion. *Note: Do not listen to higher frequencies (Gamma, Beta) before bedtime! They will keep you very alert.
If you find that you are really heavily into overwhelm, you can just turn the volume down and meditate with the biofield amplitudefrom your iPod, CD player, PC, or Mac transmitting a very healing biofield technology that allows you to dig deeper into meditative states without putting your nervous system on edge. Now you are pushing and purifying your nervous system without bludgeoning it.
Other entrainment methods sometimes used include autopan modulation that moves sound in an 180º arc to create a desired tone. Harmonic box entrainment, invented by James Mann, uses a layering of binaural and monaural tones that alternate between ears, requiring headphones. Sound modulation and filtering, amplitude modulation, and pitch panning use diverse sounds to create rhythmic pulses matched to the desired brainwave frequency.
Robert Monroe, a radio producer and executive published a popular book called Journeys Out of the Body about his out-of-body experiences when using brainwave entrainment. He later founded an original brainwave entrainment audio company, Hemi Sync. In 1981, the book Mega Brain by Michael Hutchison brought brainwave entrainment information, techniques, and terminology into the popular press.
Meditation enhancement: There are several companies that sell brainwave entrainment sessions specifically designed to enhance meditation. The sounds provide a stimuli to focus on during the meditation, and the brain waves naturally shift towards the frequency provided. Whether meditation is actually enhanced by brainwave entrainment is a subject of debate. However, advanced meditators commonly experience brainwave synchronization – which the right and left hemispheres display the same frequency brain waves. While there are scientific benefits of meditation, it is unclear as to whether they are enhanced, hindered, or unaffected by adjunctive brainwave entrainment.
After one month of using Equisync, I feel relaxed, calm and not stressed at all, despite that I am leaving my present job soon for an early retirement, I handle the situation very well. I have the feeling that I'm going to be ok and there is nothing to worry about. This is what I have gained so far from using Equisync and it's really meaningful in the erratic world that we live in.
This music encourages a state of alpha relaxation. The alpha state is a pleasant state of relaxed alertness. It's a state that many people experience when they are waking up in the morning or when they are just beginning to drift off to sleep at night. While in a state of alpha relaxation, the mind is quite clear and receptive to information, learning is accelerated and one's sense of creativity is enhanced. The mind is also very open to positive suggestions during this state.
Want to use it as a serious tool for self-development, long-term meditation support, etc.? Find a supplier that is in alignment with your own values and knows what they are doing. E.g. Holosync have decent entrainment technology, but make ridiculous claims and are very salesy and pushy... I have tried several and always come back to the Monroe Institute and their well tried and tested sessions, mainly from the gateway experience and lucid dreaming series.
Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) is a technique that utilizes pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies to gently and safely guide the brain into various brain wave patterns. By altering your brain wave frequencies, you have the ability to boost your mood, improve sleep patterns, sharpen your mind and increase your level of relaxation, all with the simple push of a button!
Brainwave entrainment is a colloquialism for such 'neural entrainment', which is a term used to denote the way in which the aggregate frequency of oscillations produced by the synchronous electrical activity in ensembles of cortical neurons can adjust to synchronize with the periodic vibration of an external stimuli, such as a sustained acoustic frequency perceived as pitch, a regularly repeating pattern of intermittent sounds, perceived as rhythm, or of a regularly rhythmically intermittent flashing light.

Copa del Rey draw sets up possible final between Barcelona and Real Madrid
It has not been an easy year for Pau Gasol to this point, in his eighteenth season, as he has had injuries and a lack of minutes with the San Antonio Spurs, yet he is still an important piece for Spain and everything is pointing towards him featuring at the 2019 World Cup in China.
After the Spurs' narrow 122-120 defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers last night, Gasol confirmed his goal of playing.
"If I'm healthy, my intention is to play [at the World Cup]," he told Trend Basket.
"I would like to play again with my national team and I would like to have a good World Cup and help our team qualify for the Olympics, once again.
"That is my intention.
"At this point, health is a big issue because I'm 38, I'll be 39 this summer, so that's a factor.
"But my wish and desire is to be with my national team and to continue to do great things for my country."
#TBExclusive | @paugasol of @spurs told @TrendBasket after Wednesdays game vs. 76ers that hes willing to don La Roja jersey this summer at the @FIBAWC, if hes healthy. Hell be 39 this summer and wishes to carry @BaloncestoESP on top of the world, for the first time since 06. pic.twitter.com/nIiZ2XepV7
? TrendBasketEN (@TrendBasketEN) 24 de enero de 2019
After the retirement of Juan Carlos Navarro and Felipe Reyes's retirement from the national team, Gasol is the only remaining player from the incredible generation of 1980 and he could still be an essential player for Sergio Scariolo, just for his leadership alone.

Way-Back Hip-Hop: The Fat Boys – "JailHouse Rap"
Back in the early days of Hip-Hop, when it was just a drum beat and a rhyme, the Fat Boys hit the scene with funny lyrics and The Human Beat Box (the original). They were part of an era when Hip-Hop was all about fun, and rocking the party. I still have this record in my collection, this is history. Seeing this as a marker nearly 30 years later, Hip-Hop is doing just fine, thank you very much.
Peep the first EVER Fat Boys song and video "Jailhouse Rap", after the jump!

China: Shanghai Police Drown Dogs
China: Shanghai Police Drown Dogs
Shanghai police seized a number of live dogs, drove them to a local river and drowned them in dog-catching nets. An unknown number of the seized dogs were residents loved pets; some were strays. Fengxian Police officers justified their response siting a call from a resident who said he'd been bitten by a dog in the area. He had no wounds and did not require medical help. These actions are in violation of the Regulations for Shanghai Dog Management.
A large number of people in China have an irrational fear of dogs. A happy dog can be seen by them as aggressive. A cheerful dog brushing against them for a pat can be seen as terrifying aggressive behavior. People like this are quick to call police for help and accuse dogs of attacking them, knowing the dogs will be seized and killed.
Many people with this attitude have been raised by parents who instilled the fear into their children. Now as adults they're irrationally scared of dogs. This is an ongoing problem for dog owners in China. Many are forced to only walk their dog at night, heavily leashed and sometimes with a muzzle, to avoid false accusations against their dog.
World Dog Show 2019, Shanghai
The World Dog Show 2019 is about to commence in Shanghai. The same city where police officers drowned residents pet dogs following a disgruntled call from someone who doesn't like dogs. The World Dog Show runs from April 30 to May 3rd. Show organizers describe the event as: "A joyful gathering for dog lovers and lovely dogs across the world." Non attractive dog meat dogs need not apply!
When a "lovely" dog is captured by a dog trader it becomes a dog meat dog. They're flung through the air by brutal men using iron neck calipers and crammed into iron cages. Food and water is withheld for up to five days, so there's less body waste at slaughter. They're packed so tightly they cannot stretch their legs or stand up, usually for days. Many dogs suffer broken limbs when the loaded cages are stacked on top of each other, or thrown off the trucks when unloaded.
As claustrophobic panic sets in, dominant dogs bite surrounding dogs in a demand for space. Less dominant dogs have no where to go. Dogs are ripped and torn, leaving them easy targets for disease. There's no guarantee that even the strongest dogs will survive. With no food, no water and exposed to blistering heat or snow and sleet, its a miracle any dogs can survive. Many "lovely" purebred pedigree dogs and cats end up being sold for meat, for slaughter.
International dog show judges accuse organizations such as Fight Dog Meat of 'making a mountain out of a molehill' for exposing animal cruelty in China.
Read more: China: World Dog Show for Shanghai.
Chinese animal lovers want the world to know what is happening to animals inside China. They're desperate for animal protection laws but their cries fall on deaf ears of their government. Fight Dog Meat is exposing events taking place to help strengthen the voice of animal lovers in China. We're showing the reality of the dog and cat meat trade which continues to operate while no animal protection laws are in place. Butchers answer to no one. This applies to all dog and cat meat countries; not just China.
Keeping quiet about things does not stop anything! Worldwide outrage is necessary for governments to take notice. We are pressuring governments by being a voice for these animals. Ultimately it is animal lovers living in these countries whom their own government will be forced to listen to, to enact positive change.
Do you think the World Dog Show should be held in China?
Fight Dog Meat will continue to bring you reports from China and the wonderful work their rescuers are doing, for their loved animals of all species!
Thank you for reading,

A new pocket guide, Signs of the Law, has been delivered to the Colorado Springs Police Department to help officers communicate with people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Police worked with the Rocky Mountain ADA Center to design the guide to meet the department's needs.
It has pictures that show how to use American Sign Language, with 30 signs such as license/ID, fast/speeding, what happened and lawyer, plus nine tips on interacting with people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
"Creating effective communication programs between our officers and all our citizens is critical to the work we do to serve Colorado Springs," Police Chief Vince Niski said. "We are happy to launch this new pocket guide that will enhance the way our officers communicate with the deaf and hard of hearing community."
Conflict between police and hearing-impaired people often stems from the cultural differences in communication, said Ryan Commerson, a Colorado Springs resident who is deaf.
"Law enforcement is all about commanding voices, and we do not respond to voices for the most part," Commerson said. "We are all about body language, and our use of body language to communicate is what police officers are trained to interpret as threat. So this often results in excessive force."
He said the pocket guide is a step in the right direction, but it's not a total solution.
"It can be successful and effective in a limited scope," Commerson said. "I can see this being used as a reference after learning some signs from an instructor to help police officers remember what they've already learned."
A training video of the basic signs essential to officers' needs also was provided to supplement the pocket guide.
"Colorado Springs Police Department deserves a great deal of credit for being the first department in the Rocky Mountain region to partner on a guide of this nature. We are hopeful other agencies in the region and across the U.S. will look to the department's leadership and vision on this front and will consider having a guide like this developed by our team in the future," said Dana Barton, director of the Rocky Mountain Americans with Disabilities Act Center.
