How to Create Textured Look for Hair?
Texture, porosity and elasticity are important factors to analyze the quality of the hair.
. Hair texture refers to the degree of coarseness or fineness of the hair, which varies due to the diameter of the hair (coarse hair has a large diameter as compared to fine hair), feel of the hair, whether it is harsh, soft or wiry.
. Hair porosity refers to the ability of all types of hair to absorb moisture.
Usually hair with good or moderate porosity presents no problem when receiving hair services i.e. permanent waving, hair tinting or lightening.
Poor porosity exists when the cuticle layer is lying close to the hair shaft and absorbs very less amount of moisture.
Extreme porosity is observed in hair in poor condition due to tinting, lightening or damage from faulty treatments.
. Hair elasticity refers to the ability of hair to stretch and return to its original form without breaking.
Hair elasticity can be classified in three categories i.e. good elasticity, normal elasticity and poor elasticity.
Normal dry hair is capable of being stretched about 20 percent of its length. Wet hair can be stretched 40 to 50 percent of its length. Porous hair stretches more than hair with poor porosity.
Climatic conditions and seasonal changes affect hair in the following ways:
1. Humidity and moisture deepen the natural wave.
2. Cool air causes the hair to contract.
3. Heat causes the hair to swell or expand and absorb moisture.

Inclement weather,including strong winds,during the last phase of the ripening of the crop has led to a dip in the wheat yield in Punjab this year.
For a state,which registered highest the ever wheat yield at 50.97 quintals per hectare (over 20 quintals per acre) in 2012,the yield from Punjab fields is pegged at just about 47 quintals per hectare this year
The Punjab Agriculture department,however,is yet to come out with the results of the crop cutting experiment in all the districts of the state done to reach the average yield.
Har Iqbal Singh,a farmer with land in Bhogpur area said this year he got only 15 to 16 quintals wheat per acre,which means around 40 quintals per hectare.
My crop got flattened due to strong winds at the time of ripening,which resulted in smaller grains and less yield per acre, he said.
I harvested only 15 quitals per acre this year while it was 20 quintals last year, said another farmer,Amandeep Singh,from Nawanshahr district.
Chairman,Punjab Mandi Board,Ajmer Singh Lakhowal,too said that the yeild has gone down by five to six quintals per hectare this year in most parts of the state.
On an average a farmer can expect 20 to 22 quintals wheat per acre,an agriculture expert said,adding a loss of four to five quintals per acre means a loss of Rs 7,000 to Rs 8,000.
Contacted,state agriculture director Dr MS Sandhu said the average yield per acre is yet to be reached at as the crop cutting is on and the exact amount will be calculated once the harvesting is over.
Big farmers withholding wheat crop for higher price
In an anticipation of fetching remunerative rates from export,wheat growers in Punjab have held back their crop leading to low arrival in grain markets during ongoing rabi marketing season,a senior official of Punjab Agriculture department said Monday.
Big and progressive farmers have held back their wheat crop as they think they will get higher rates for their crop from export which has been allowed by the Centre, Punjab Agriculture Department Director M S Sandhu said.
Farmers (having big chunk of land) are not bringing crop in mandis which has caused low arrival of crop, he added.
The Centre had allowed export of 5 million tonnes of wheat from its godowns via private trade in order to evacuate old stock in overflowing warehouses.
The Centre had also invited financial bids from private traders for export of nearly one million tonnes of wheat stored in the FCI godowns in Punjab and Haryana.
The base price of wheat to be exported under Open General Licence (OGL) from Punjab and Haryana has been fixed at Rs 1,484 per quintal.
Apprehensions have been expressed over the lower arrival of wheat in Punjab during current procurement season compared to last season.
Against the target of 140 lakh tonne of procurement from Punjab for current season,the actual purchase for central pool is now expected at 120 lakh tonne,FCI official said here.

LE HAVRE, A MAJOR EUROPEAN worldport
- The leading French worldport for foreign trade

- The leading French seaworldport for waterway traffic which represents nearly 5 million tons a year
- 40% of all French crude oil passes through Le Havre
- 5th largest worldport in Europe, nearly 75 million tons of cargo each year
- worldport calls by 6,180 ships in 2006
- 22,6 million tons of general cargo in 2006
With its wide range of worldport terminals, the worldport of Le Havre can process every type of cargo, whether in liquid or dry bulk format, or general cargo containers and ro-ro traffic) or dangerous goods.
Le Havre has also maintained its traditional role as a terminal for passengers, bound for or from England, and as worldport of call for international cruises.
Almost 40 % of French imworldports of crude oil pass through Le Havre terminals, which accounts for a yearly total of more than 37 million tonnes. This oil is carried by pipelines to the great refineries in the Seine Valley and in the Paris Area. Located on two distinct sites, the Le Havre oil terminals can accommodate all ships, from coasters up to giant oil tankers of 550,000dwt.
Located at the south end of the worldport, the facilities of the Le Havre oil worldport are made up of 8 specialised berths, including one for the reception of 230,000dwt ships and another for 280,000dwt tankers. The Compagnie Industrielle Maritime (C.I.M.) Company is the concessionaire of these facilities. It handles and stores the crude oil and refined products that it re-ships by pipelines or by vessels. It carries out transhipment operations from large tankers onto smaller vessels. C.I.M. has a storage capacity of 3.7 million cubic metres including 1 million cu.m. dedicated to world spot market.
Deballasting and gas-freeing operations can also be carried out there.
Owing to its high nauticality, Le Havre is one of the few North-European worldports to accommodate bulk carriers of the Capesize class (> 80,000 deadweight tonnes) fully laden. In addition, the worldport is equipped with specialised terminals to handle coal and ore trades : the ore Centre and the multibulks Centre.
The Multibulks Centre
Located on the southern bank of the Grand Canal du Havre, a constant-level dock, the Multibulks Centre is designed to process all types of dry bulks, fuel products, ores, foodstuff products, etcŌĆ"
These facilities can operate direct transhipment from ships onto barges and coasters and are made up of :
┬Ā - a main berth, fitted with unloading equipment to handle ships up to 180,000dwt and provide the ex-stock loading on board 35,000/50,000dwt vessels, with a draught of 17,50 metres.
- a berth for direct or ex-stock loading of 5,000dwt pusher trains of barges or coasters up to 8,000dwt.

The Compagnie Industrielle des Pond├®reux du Havre (CIPHA) company, specialised in the reception and storage of fuel dry bulks (coal, petroleum coke), is the concessionnaire of these facilities. CIPHA provides services for ciment works, electrical companies and coal imworldporters for industrial markets and heating networks.
The Ore Centre
Located in tidal dock and accessible to ships 300m long of a deadweight tonnage of 180,000 tonnes, the ore centre or Terminal MC-6 handles the coke and coal intended for thermal stations and plants. Its facilities include a main berth and a loading berth for river barge convoys and coasters.
A sorting station dispatches the products :┬Ā┬Ā - to a public yard of a storage capacity of 530,000 tonnes
- a private yard with a storage capacity of 250,000 tonnes
- to the storage yard of the EDF thermal station
- to the loading berth
- to a loading tower for freight cars and trucks.
Le Havre, the leading French worldport for containers with more than 60% of the traffic handled by worldports in France, has large-scale facilities that are continually being developed.
Currently, worldport facilities dedicated to containers comprise :
- The facilities located in the tidal docks - serving large container ships in particular (including overpanamax ships) -
- and the facilities located behind the Fran?ois 1 lock.
They are combined on the three major terminal sites with nearly 6,5 km of quays served by 31 gantries:
┬Ā┬Ā - The north terminals,quais de lAtlantique, des Am├®riques et de l Europe (the Europe, Americas, and Atlantic quays) with 96 hectares of back-up area, connected by exclusive, wide traffic lanes, and of 22,000 m2 of covered storage area.
- The southern terminals,'quais de l'Asie,d'Osaka et Bougainville' (the Asia, Osaka and Bougainville quays) with 80 hectares of storage back-up area and 55,000 m2 of covered storage area.
- The worldport 2000 terminals, 'quai du Havre' (le Havre quay), with progressively come on stream with nearly 50 hectares of storage back-up area. The first one, the Terminal de France is equipped with six gantry cranes.

All the ancillary services related to containerised traffic are also present in the worldport of Le Havre:
- parks for reefer containers,
- container repairs,
- container rentals,
- groupage/degroupage centres etc...
The fast growth in containerised exchange between continents and the spectacular increase in the size of the ships means worldports must constantly adapt. To enable the harmonious development of the container traffic and the related activities, a vast development scheme for the worldport facilities in Le Havre and the inland connections related to them was initiated in the middle of the years 1990. As a new container-dedicated worldport, will provide a potentiel of 12 quay berths along a quay 4,2 km long (the 'quai du Havre), after full completion. to date, a third of the quay is completed and the first terminal has come on stream : this is the Terminal de France.
worldport operations involving the loading, unloading, handling and quay landing of dangerous goods are regulated. There are also regulations providing for the safety rules to be applied aboard ships when berthed at the worldport.
Dangerous goods can only be admitted to the worldport and landed on quay by complying with the regulations of the Maritime worldports Code, the General Police Regulations for Maritime worldports of Commerce, the Regulations for the transworldport and handling of dangerous goods in maritime worldports and the local regulations for the transworldport and handling of dangerous goods specific to each worldport.
A cargo passing through a maritime worldport on exworldport or imworldport is pre- or post-carried according to the regulations laid down for the relevant transworldport means.
The list of dangerous goods to be loaded, in transit, or to be unloaded must be given to the Harbour office of the worldport by the ship's agent or the freight forwarder 24 hours before the arrival of the ship.
Apart from products for immediate removal, the maximum time authorised to store dangerous matter on worldport back-up area is limited to 72 hours for goods, whether for exworldport or imworldport purposes.

Welcome to Canada's Future
Today my company Capo. Tech will introduce to you the future of Canada. I will tell you about the issues in Canada and how we can solve them while still managing a sustainable country, with my help Canada will have a bright future.
Canada's Current Issues
Baby Boomer's
The baby boomers are people born during the years following World War II. After the war there was a rise in the number of births per year. Today the baby boomers would be between the ages of 52 to 71. Since the baby boomers era not as many people are having kids and the average has become two kids per family. Since there are a lot of older Canadians, the younger generations will have more of they're tax dollars put towards healthcare, and when going to hospitals it will be more difficult to get checked out since there will be a lot of elderly there. Also there's not very many long term care homes some people many have to care for their older family members at home.
Farmland Destruction
In the past every four out of five Canadians were farmers, today less than 2% of our population are farmers. As well as the farmer population decreasing farmland has been downsized by approximately one million hectares. As the population continues to increase and spread our farmland will continue to decrease. My home in Brampton, used to have utilized farmland and now it's become a suburban community.
CO2 Emissions/Climate Change
Climate Change has been a rising issue all over the world. Carbon dioxide emissions come from all around us, cars, planes, and factories. In 2014 Canada contributed 732 of carbon dioxide equivalent, all of this raises our global temperature, the more emissions we release into the atmosphere the warmer it will get. A warmer climate can lead to more dangerous and more frequent natural disasters. It will also cause the melting of ice caps, since the ice caps are natural reflectors of the sun this means more UV rays will be able to remain within our atmosphere causing the temperature to rise more rapidly.
Oil Use
Like many other nonrenewable resources oils is a big contributor the climate change . It's also a danger to our health, especially people that work within the industry. Chemicals that workers are exposed to can cause paralysis, cancer, and possibly death one of these is hydrogen sulfide. Oil has had a big affect on our environment, extraction methods and pollutants produced by the industry. To extract oil we use In-situ production, open pit mining, and upgrading, all of these have a refining stage in factories(giving off more carbon dioxide emissions). They also destroy habitats during extraction, open pit mining is the most destructive because the area is completely dug out to retrieve the oil.
Loss of Green Space
In Canada we have a lot of land and green space but with our growing population it's becoming a concern. In Toronto 94 000+ hectares of unprotected land could become suburbs. The White Belt Study area is a 'buffer zone' circling Lake Ontario and urban areas surrounding it. This area provides $122 million economic benefits every year, 52 000 hectares of this land has been approved for development, this could increase by 10 000 hectares.
Too many Cars
All over Canada, and the world cars are crowding the roads in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Lots of people commute from the suburbs to the city for work, but traffic is becoming ridiculous in big cities around Canada. With more cars also comes more carbon dioxide emissions. As mentioned in the carbon dioxide emissions/climate change issue it talks about the effects of climate change.
Continuing immigration will help our younger generations bear the weight of the older community. This will help by spreading the costs of healthcare and jobs in the industry. We should also probably begin to build more elderly homes around the suburbs because in certain situations elderly need 24 hour care and we can't provide that. Since long term homes have nurses older people wouldn't be clogging up the hospitals as much. Building long term care facilities cost approximately $120 000 per bed, and takes about one year.
If we run out of options we can use the 1976 movie; Logan's Run as an example. It's a futuristic movie about people living in a big bio-dome, and when they turn thirty a gem on their hand begins to flash. It indicates your termination through a quasi-religious ceremony known as Carousel.(ᗒᗨᗕ)
Protecting Farmland
Farmland is vital to keeping locally sourced food in Canada. Since our farmland is decreasing we need to protect it, the addition of new laws to acquire certain area's deemed only for the purpose of farming. The process of creating a law is broken into six steps, the first reading, the second reading, the committee stage, the report stage, the third reading, and finally the royal assent. The first reading is basically the idea written down; it's then called a bill, the second reading is deliberation over the bill in the House and it's voted on by the parliamentarians. The bill is then given to the committee to be carefully studied and reported back to the House with any adjustments they see fit. A third reading is then held and the parliamentarians debate again and it's sent to the other House to go through the same process. Finally it's given to the Governor General for final approval (royal assent) and it becomes a law. For a bill to be created there's a $150 application fee, and it depending on the bill the time range can vary.
This connect to our physical environment because Canada was original farmland and hunting grounds, over the decades farms have been weathered and destroyed to replace their place with residential areas. Most of the soil rich area for growing is the Canadian Shield and a little of the Interior Plains.
It also connect to our resources because farmland is a source of local food. Vegetation and farming are one of our primary industries, we need to protect it. Since it's a primary resource it brings in money from the consumers, and distribution process.
Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy is the only solution to our limited oil supply. Renewable energy will help Canada by replacing oil, and reducing our emissions by large amounts. Solar Panels cost approximately $15 000-$40 000 to install a 3-8 kW system, and they only take 1-3 days to build. Wind turbines cost approximately $3-4 million and take about three-six months to install, after that they have a 25 year lifetime before repairs. In Canada we put about $2.7 billion towards the fossil fuel industry every year, if we used this money for renewable energy we could completely rely on wind, hydro, and solar energy. A way to ease ourselves into this would be each year putting more money into renewable from the oil industries. This would eventually transfer all of the money from our oil industry to be put towards renewable energy. Depending on when this begins it could probably take up to 15-20 years to adjust to using renewable resources.
Renewable Energy fits into our resources because it would become our number one source of energy. Oil is a widely used resource all over the world, if by 2041 we were able to rely on renewable energy it could influence other country, possible our neighbour America(but I think that's unlikely to start until Trump's presidency is over).
It also connects to our physical environment because when we extract oil it tears up the ground and destroys habitats an example is open pit mining. When oil is found 50 metres and higher the ground it dug out and filled with water to extract the oil. Although it's helpful to use it ruins the ecosystems located above oil. Oil is also a contributor to climate change, the increase in temperature will cause sea levels to rise and possibly flood coastal cities.
Protected Areas
Green Spaces in Canada are beginning to decrease, to protect them we need to enforce laws that deem certain areas solely for forestry and animal habitat. We can achieve this the same way as we would the farmland, submitting the idea and it becoming a bill. It then goes through the whole process and hopefully gets passed to become a law. There's a $150 application fee to present your idea and the time frame can vary based on the type of bill.
Having protected area will preserve our land form regions, since more people are immigrating to Canada more homes and apartments will be built. Ecosystems will be able to continue to thrive without being interrupted by construction or highways.
Building Up
Building up will help Canada's increasing population, because everyone wants to live in houses we should make more family friendly apartment buildings. These could include 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and living area. This could draw in more families and save land space. This would cost approximately $80 000 per unit, and take about 14 months for a 4-5 unit complex.
Building up will help with our increasing population, apartment buildings hold more people while houses take up a lot more space and only hold about 4-6 people. Since these take up less space than houses we could build more while taking less than the space.
Trying to protect the environment and build homes for our new population isn't easy, but building apartments will save wildlife space area. We wouldn't need to worry about the wildlife in Canada becoming extinct, since they will have a protected habitat.
In the city apartment buildings are a better utilization of the space they have since cities are usually more compact. When we create these family apartments it would hopefully still have the same community feeling as a neighbourhood of homes, but in less than half the space. The proposed apartments could also be mixed-use so on the ground floor there would be a small store.
Online Work
Having more online jobs can help with traffic in major cities. With the technology we have to today some jobs can be done on a laptop at the comfort of our own home. So if we move jobs that are in the city to home it would remove a lot of commuters and cars of the roads. Another plus from reducing cars is reducing carbon dioxide emissions. As I mentioned many times carbon dioxide emissions cause climate change and that warms the planet, so the less cars the better.
This would contribute to our physical environment because less cars equals less carbon dioxide emissions, and that helps with global warming. Since I talked about Global warming plenty of time now you understand why reducing emissions is in our favour.
Major cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal have very busy roads filled with people commuting to work. By transferring some office jobs into work from home jobs it could take many cars off the roads to major cities. People that do need to go into the city would find less congestion, resulting in a shorter commute time. The decrease in cars will also bring less wear and tear to to road so we wouldn't have to put as many tax dollars towards that.
This ends my presentation, I hope you enjoyed and take into consideration my ideas for Canada's future. I would also like to mention all the photos in the background of this presentation are different areas around Canada, how could you not want to protect that?

Part the First; In Which I Go to the Opera
© 2008
D. Gordon
Some time back, when I was kicking around San Francisco, I spent a fair amount of time with my college roommate and her now-husband, who were grad students at Berkeley. They had a cassette of selections from Philip Glass operas, which I heard a few times, then picked up myself. I thought I'd be really interested in Akhnaton, since it's about ancient Egypt (I had a thing about ancient Egypt as a kid), but it was "Kuru, Field of Justice" from Satyagraha that I really plugged into music-wise.
I'm not much into opera (although Mozart's cool; he wrote for the clarinet which I played for 10 years), but along the way I picked up the full Satyagraha on CD and always thought it would've been interesting to have seen the 1980 commission for the Municipal Theater in Rotterdam live. So I was really surprised a few weeks back when I found out it had premiered at the Metropolitan Opera and was running for the month of April. It took about twenty minutes to decide to buy a ticket.
...And while I'm still not much into opera, I'm very glad I went and wish I could see it again. It's the kind of performance where a lot is going on and several viewings are needed to catch everything. First there's the music: clearly Philip Glass, but much much fuller than just the repetitions he's characterized for. In going through what I could of the libretto beforehand (April's been busy), I noticed that the lyrics have that same repetition to them – they're from the Bhagavad Gita, but the score breaks them down into syllables which are repeated Glass-style, from what I can tell sometimes in the middle of words. However, as Glass states in his playbill notes, it's not about the words; it's really about the music (well, to a certain degree; he doesn't do happy vs mournful vs victorious so well – it's all epic sweep, but then it's an opera) and about the actions on stage...
...And *that's* where the opera shines. No powdered wigs and fans here; it's projected words and images, and puppets a la Julie Taymor, and manipulations of materials such as paper, tape and baskets, and simultaneous action on different parts of the stage, and slow movements on the part of the actors. There's also a unit of puppeteers, aerialists, and 'performance-makers' named "The Skills Ensemble" that were put together especially for the opera (www.improbable.co.uk); they don't sing, but they handle virtually all the other onstage activity. They also use materials that fit in with Gandhi's principles of satyagraha (similar to his calls for making and wearing homespun cloth): paper and baskets become two warring giants, tape becomes dividing walls, then a human figure. Really something beyond a general "opera."
from the Metropolitan Opera website
The opera is split into three acts, each named after notable figures with some tie to Gandhi. Each act is further dividend into scenes which depict pivotal events which were turning points for the satyagraha movement. So Tolstoy, with whom Gandhi had a correspondence, sits off to the side writing letters as Gandhi establishes the Tolstoy Farm collective and pledges to resist the British Black Act to death, if need be. Tagore, the only living authority acknowledged by Gandhi, overlooks Act II from his wicker chair, birdcage at hand, as the satyagrahis burn their registration cards (five-minute fire on stage! kewl). And everything really comes together in Act III, named after Martin Luther King, who directly credited Gandhi's for the methods of nonviolence used in his own civil rights struggles. King, back to the audience (a change from the other two), gestures from a podium to an invisible audience as various projections – the March on Washington, figures of riot police beating protestors – play out around him. (All this is in the background as Gandhi's New Castle March unfurls in the foreground.) King is the most active side figure of the three, and has the most interaction with Gandhi, because he's the future – the second fulfillment of Gandhi's philosophy, the proof of its transferability. It's only fitting that the New Castle demonstrators are led offstage by the 1950s riot police, and the walls fall away until King is on a high podium, before a cloud field, orating, as Gandhi looks to him – the future. And then King turns to watch Gandhi... It's a visual that's really hard to describe, but something I'm not going to forget for a long time.
I've heard there's a DVD of an earlier performance (1983). The Met production had nothing like the original staging – there was no "Skills Ensemble," for one thing – but it'd be interesting to see what was changed and what stayed the same.
And, not being an opera person, I can't speak to the singing. I thought that the score was slowed a bit from the CD, and that Alan Oke as Gandhi had much the same pure quality of Douglas Perry's voice on the CD. A few people on the subway thought that Mary Phillips as Mrs. Alexander was Surprisingly Baaaad. I thought it was a little hard to hear her, but who knows.
This does make me want to find out more about Gandhi, though; if anything was really a problem, it was my frustration at how little I know about Gandhi's life story. Everyone knows that he led the nonviolence movement for Indian independence, but I'm not sure how many know just what that means – and can understand just how relevant that is today. (Which is a big reason why this opera was staged now.)
More info about the opera – with pictures – can be found on the Met's website. I wish I could take you all to a performance.

Since last week when we did the balance board against the wall, where Gimme had to tuck her butt to turn, I've had her do our 6" board a couple of times. She's dropped the pivot/hop turn she was doing. Just the one session against the wall and she is now tucking her butt and doing the turn (the cue will be "flip"). She's a very smart cookie.
Jo had some other obligation, so Diane was our substitute instructor. Class was a bit challenging for Gimme because all three dogs were there. Plus, with the way the course was set, we all spectated from the end of the room where we had our station set up. Thus the last half of class was closer proximity than Gimme is completely comfortable with. Still she handled it well and I was proud of her.
We started class with individual warm up. I tend to focus more on warming up Gimme's brain, to get her thinking and responding to cues. From there we did a session on the sway bridge, which I didn't get video for. Gimme was very good. I had her sit and down on the sway bridge, which is pretty challenging and for which she gets paid very well.
Sway platform video - This is Gimme's least favorite obstacle, so she gets lots of treats to make this the best place ever. It got to where she didn't want to leave the platform. At one point you'll see I get her off the platform and she immediately wants to go back on.
Crawl trainer video - Gimme likes the crawl trainer and is really good at scooting through it. Too bad you can't see it better on the video. She is awesome. Later when we are doing it in course work, I used the peanut butter go toob, since she's headed toward other dogs and I want to make sure her mind is on getting back to me and getting paid.
We did several sequences and Gimme did well on all of them. Sequence 1 video She started by walking through the ladder (out of view), then forgot to listen to what I wanted her to do with the bench. From there to the end she did well. After the crawl trainer and before the flaps-thru, there is a cone she had to go out around. Sequence 2 video She did a nice job on this sequence and was very focused. After we finished everyone was commenting about her speed-ladder (out of view). She trotted through it very quickly. Sequence 3 video She did equally well on this third sequence. We have an egg-ball of our own and she's been on it many times, so she made an assumption about getting 4-on, when I asked for "hands". I often have to remind her to use her listening ears.
Gimme continues to really enjoy parkour and is making steady progress. I'm also loving the opportunity to work when other dogs are around, in a controlled environment. She always sleeps contentedly most of the way home.

Show: Spring Summer 2010 RTW (Women)
Date Held: Oct 2nd 2009
Place: Avenue de Wagram, Paris
Inspiration: Fashion's creative force seesawing with greedy consumerism, adult delinquents, shoulder pads
Color Palette: Varied- bright colors like red, orange, pink, gold, military green, beige, blended with Rei's usual colors of black and white
Collection's Composition: Shoulders being the main focus, the collection comprised of leather shoulder braces, jackets and dresses "embellished" with shoulder parts of jackets in various colors and patterns, skirts and dresses constructed from a collage of fabrics including brocade, silk and sequin scraps, floor length transparent beige trench coats; all their volume counterbalanced by either plain trousers or polka dotted biker shorts worn over black hose.
Accessories: Extreme candy flossed hair in pink, lime and lilac, decorated with giant safety pins and little conical hats by Stephen Jones, little lace-up shoes
Pièces de résistance:
Philosophy Behind Collection: Rei emphasised creativity as the driving force behind fashion as opposed to mindless commercialisation realised through the herd mentality towards prevalent trends. She made her point by poking fun at fashion's current obsession with 80's inspired grand shoulders and proved that she can express any trend in her collection through her own language of deconstruction and superior creativity.She had dresses and jackets not made with pointy attention seeking shoulders but rather used shoulders of various jackets as ornaments for her clothes.
Targeted Buyers: Comme des Garçons' typical customer namely the art student or one with extreme sensitivity to the nuances of fashion. In a word, for the anti-fashion minority!
High Points: This collection once again proved Rei's superior craftsmanship in addition to her extreme creativity manifested through her strong command of deconstruction.The inclusion of rich colors, this spring, through the coercion of a multitude of fabrics creates a strong visual impact.
Low Points: Though an exemplary collection, this is not one of Rei Kawakubo's defining collections as she pretty much stayed within her comfort zone of seen before techniques of deconstruction.

Tony Martin would know how to deal with Google
Were you to arrive home and find a burglar riffling through your filing cabinet, stealing your bank details and PIN numbers, you'd face a simple choice between calling the police or doing a Tony Martin.
You wouldn't make the thief a nice cup of tea and show him your holiday snaps.
If you were followed around by a photographer who took 300 pictures of you every time you left your front door, you'd soon stick his Nikon where the sun don't shine.
Yet although our lives are pillaged daily by both the state and giant corporations, few people seem to give a monkey's.
Our privacy is invaded astonishingly as a matter of routine
Google has just admitted Hoovering up millions of passwords and email addresses from home computers all over Britain.
For the past couple of years, its sinister fleet of Street View vehicles has been filming every available address in the country and posting the pictures on the internet.
Now it has been revealed that the cars, which are bristling with high-tech equipment, have also been tapping into home wi-fi networks and rummaging through our PCs and laptops.
The Information Commissioner is investigating what is described as an 'astonishing' invasion of privacy. But it goes way, way beyond that. Our privacy is invaded astonishingly as a matter of routine.
We are captured on CCTV hundreds of times a day. Our movements are tracked by speed cameras and electronic bus and rail passes; our spending habits monitored by supermarket loyalty cards and websites such as Amazon.
Local authorities and government agencies mount covert surveillance operations against parents suspected of lying about their address to get their children into a decent school, and householders committing the heinous 'crime' of putting the wrong kind of rubbish in their dustbins.
Councils have been using satellite technology to compile a vast home-improvement database designed to raise taxes. Details of every loft extension and conservatory are stored in the electronic vaults at your Town Hall.
New communities secretary Eric Pickles has said he will stop this information being used, but has not guaranteed that it will be destroyed.
Alarmingly, we have become inured to these state invasions of our privacy. But, even more disturbingly, large companies also think they have the right to pry into our lives.
Don't get me wrong: I love the freedom and convenience of the internet, though it has obvious downsides, such as the tiresome Twitter mob and unsolicited offers of penis enlargements.
It's part of the price you pay for having the freedom to watch TV on your iPhone, or read the Daily Mail online anywhere in the world.
But, for a start, I don't bank online, not just because I am fortunate enough to still have a proper bank manager, rather than a computerised account wallah at a call centre in Mumbai.
And I fail to understand why otherwise sensible people post intimate details of their lives and movements on Facebook, which has become a burglar's JobCentre. But I do use Amazon and buy tickets on the net, so my credit card details are out there.
Despite all the alleged security arrangements, assorted passwords and encrypted payment sites, I have been forced to cut up half a dozen cards in the past few years because the details have been pilfered.
Once, in America, when a restaurant refused my card, I discovered the bank had put a stop on it because, while I was munching my way through steak and spinach in Florida, someone had used my account to buy a fridge-freezer from a domestic appliance warehouse in Spain.
Another online scam, which was robbing me of a tenner each month, managed to jump from one card to another, even though the numbers were completely different.
So forgive me if I refuse to accept the 'mortified' apologies and reassurances from Google's Guinness-smooth spokesman on the wireless yesterday.
The company says it has only 'fragments' of information from networks not protected by passwords. So that's all right, then.
I have little doubt that the geeks at Google could crack any password in a nanosecond.
The point here is that the company thought invading private property and downloading personal information was any way to behave in the first place.
Google might call it 'downloading'. I call it stealing, just as if they'd kicked in your front door. This is a matter for the police, not the Government's information quango. Officers routinely abuse anti-terror laws to confiscate the cameras of legitimate photographers taking pictures at 'sensitive' landmark sites.
They'd soon stop and question anyone acting suspiciously by photographing homes at random.
Yet the police have sat back and watched Google's camera cars casing every joint in Britain. who cares whether this operation had benign intentions? This was grand theft on an industrial scale. We have become bit-part players in a totalitarian's wet dream.
Only when one of these cyber criminals is sent down the steps at the old Bailey will this outrageous larceny cease.
Better still, point Google in the direction of Tony Martin's farm in Norfolk. He'd soon put a stop to their little game.
Meet Wayne's new agents: Doug and Dinsdale Piranha
Loved the detail in David Jones's Daily Mail profile of Wayne Rooney's agent, Paul Stretford. Especially the fact that a Sopranos-style sit down between Stretford and business rivals was chaired by the North London crime lord Tommy Adams.
When one of Britain's most notorious gangsters is the voice of moderation, you're already in big trouble.
After that meeting failed, Stretford's rivals arrived for Round Two with a pair of matching Australian cage-fighters.
Nice touch, that. Very classy. Just as well Stretford cut a deal. Who do you get to apply pressure if Tommy Adams and a couple of cage-fighters prove insufficient - the Piranha Brothers?
Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant famously used to take a revolver into contract negotiations. If this is the way things are going in football, Man United might need to ask the SAS to conduct Wayne Rooney's next pay deal.
I wonder if union boss Bob Crow read the profile of Stretford.
It might give him ideas for his next round of talks at London Transport. 'We want a 50 per cent rise for all train drivers, otherwise Ron here will nail your head to a coffee table.'
Get a burka on for the lads, Lauren
Two promising contenders for this year's Here We Go Looby Loo Awards have emerged.
In pole position is that 59-year-old madwoman who got herself hooked up with a 25-year-old, 6ft 6in Gambian and was then surprised that he'd only married her for a UK visa, not her looks and sparkling personality.
Lauren Booth: Nominate for Richard Littlejohn's 'Here we go looby loo awards'
I'm the first to appreciate the qualities of the more mature woman but, be honest, we're talking more Ann Widdecombe than Felicity Kendal here.
Then along came the wicked witch's barking half-sister, Lauren Booth, who announced that she has not had a drink for 45 days and has become a Muslim.
I gave up drink for a month once, but it never occurred to me to convert to Islam.
Lauren Booth even says she may consider wearing a burka. what's stopping her? Go for it girl. Do us all a favour, inshallah.
Opponents of the 'cuts' are worried that the north/south divide is on the way back. I'm not sure it ever went away.
In the late eighties, London football fans would wave £20 notes at their northern rivals in the manner of Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney.
When Everton scored at White Hart Lane on Saturday, spurs fans serenaded the scousers with a rousing chorus of: 'We pay your benefits . . .' not a lot of one-nation Tories there, then.
Naively, I thought the story about the mother-of-two from Hailsham rebuked for feeding white bread to the ducks was a solitary piece of localised lunacy.
After all, surely if they should be fed only wholemeal or granary, Britain's duck ponds would have been littered with corpses since time immemorial. I should have known better.
No bread thanks: Council bosses have erected a sign instructing members of the public not to feed the ducks white bread
Readers tell me the 'no white bread' policy is being enforced by councils across the country. Mick Tozer drew my attention to this warning notice in his local park in Cheltenham.
Given the sophisticated tastes of the people of Cheltenham, I'm surprised it didn't say anything about ciabatta.
Not wearing a poppy used to be a badge of honour on the Left. Now they have worked out that the Armed Forces are held in the highest esteem, they have gone completely the other way as they seek to reconnect with the British public.
Some Left-leaning broadcasters and mainstream politicians are sporting poppies already, even though there are more than two weeks to go to remembrance Day.
Members of the shadow cabinet look as if they've crawled through a field in Normandy on their way to the studio.
Someone should quietly explain that wearing a poppy in the middle of October is as inappropriate as having Easter eggs at Christmas.

Technology is great! Hell, soical media is even better. With the power of social media people can get connected to others from their past, you can stay on top of people's and events, and it is an awesome way of promoting a product or a book like I am doing. By the power of social media word can spread so quickly and really help out an author who is going with independent publishing. But I must admit I am still old fashioned in some way. There is such an overload of social media that a lot of good things get lost in the mix. So I decided to have some post cards made up promoting my book and am going to mail them out to organizations geared towards ms, since that's what my book is about and will be my platform. I will also be mailing them to local and bigger chain book stores, libraries, and local newspapers and news channels. Like I said with social media so much gets lost and brushed aside. But having a piece of paper in your hand can actually have a more lasting impression. Just like a hand written thank you note.
But as much positivity there is to social media there is also a down side. People just don't humanly interact with each other they way they use to. Instead of a good, hearty laugh together it is now a simple LOL. It's just not the same effect. I see people who are friends at dinner together but their noses are buried in their smartphones. I see this happenning with people of all ages, not just kids and teenagers. Sadly this is becoming the way of the world and we are losing our human interaction skills. I make it a purpose that when I am hanging out with someone I spend little to no time on my phone. I also try to teach my kids the same thing. It basically comes down to finding a healthy middle ground when it comes to social media and human interaction. As of right now, I beilieve human interaction is losing ground. I do little things like on Sundays I make a big dinner and have everyone sit around the dining room table. No TV or no phones. It doesn't even matter if we really talk much, it is just the point of being together. Doing little things like this whether you have children or not I believe has to become a necessity. We are humans. Humans need human interaction to thrive. A text message can never relate a true emotion as when you see it on someone's face. And when a tradgedy strikes, sending a sympathic text message just don't cut it. To me that is just dispicable. Some things like a death or illness in a friend's life deserves an actual phone call or personal meeting.
We have become lazy in our interactions. I know texting saves some and is good for quick info bits but for the real deal human interaction is a must. I just hope this issue is getting recognition so our children don't grow up lacking complete human social interaction skills.

Yes, and nobody understands social isolation more than those of us who suffer illnesses of some sort. It IS rough out there! It's why I like a mixture of people. Eclectic suits me. As in Philadelphia, my New York environ provides openings all the time for meeting people from other countries. Immigrants bring with them the old country love of social interaction. They've been tossed and turned by LIFE and the result is an appreciation for the little things, an ability to laugh at the often awkward moments LIFE brings our way.They have humility.

Meant to comment: Very appealing blog. I nursed an MS patient for two years during her near endstage. Hers was a serious case. Before that, MS made me very sad. Watching her bravery, and seeing that somehow her body and mind perceived pain with less acuity at the worst stage of her illness, gave ME heart. I've dealt with other, very serious illnesses I had myself, and, looking back, we do gather strength to deal with them. Wish you well! All the best. Contact me if you wish.

Soap-free Dermalogica Cleansers lift impurities, address skin issues and prep skin for treatment.
Thorough cleansing is the most critical step in both a successful professional treatment and at-home regimen. Because it is so important, Dermalogica professionals prescribe the Dermalogica Double Cleanse, the two-part cleansing routine that begins with PreCleanse and finishes with your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser
How it works
Cleansers work by emulsifying dirt and oils that collect on our skin. While this step is critical to skin health, the use of soap-based cleansers can irritate the skin's protective barrier and raise the skin's pH level.
On a scale from 1 to 14, a neutral pH is 7. The skin's normal pH level is between a 4 and a 5 (acidic). The majority of soaps are made from lye or potassium hydroxide: alkaline ingredients that can reach in the opposite direction, all the way up to 14 on the pH scale. Using soaps that are high in alkalinity take skin from an acidic state to an alkaline state and strip natural lipids from our skin. This accounts for the tight, pulled feeling you may have experienced after cleansing with soap. While you may interpret this feeling as "cleanliness," it is actually your skin suffering from a loss of lipids!
Every Dermalogica Cleanser is soap free, and pH-balanced to protect the skin's natural moisture barrier. It's the ultimate start to your healthy skin regimen.
Choosing the right is critical to skin health. Please call Tien 909-985-3944 for advise and reveal the cleanser that's right for your skin!

Recently I was recalling a dinner party that was held on the occasion of the opening of Andrea Büttner's first solo museum presentation in the United States. Like many dinner parties, the November 2015 event was a convivial situation staged to celebrate an occasion (the exhibition launch), but also to provide a social platform for connection and understanding. Each course was punctuated by remarks—presented in their entirety in the following posts—delivered by curator Lars Bang Larsen, Auburn University associate philosophy professor Keren Gorodeisky, exhibition curator Fionn Meade, and forager and nature enthusiast Elijah Ferrian.
The dinner was open to anyone—which informed a motley crew of gallerists, curators, academics, out of town visitors, artists, and the public (both the committed and curious). This echoed Büttner's co-mingling of "high" and "low," where she pulls her images and references from a range of sources, from anonymous content found on the internet to the categorically "in"—validated by academia or aesthetic theory.
A half year on, I contacted Andrea to find out what has stayed with her from that moment.
On 22 November 2015, the Walker staged a public dinner connected to the launch of your solo exhibition. What do you recall from that evening?
It was the third day of the private views, the third evening, the third dinner. It was beautiful because it was a response to the exhibition on so many levels. Lars Bang Larsen, Fionn Meade, Keren Gorodeisky, and Elijah Ferrian each gave thoughtful speeches on my practice: Elijah spoke about foraging, Keren gave a paper on my illustration of Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment, a work on display in the show. Lars spoke about appropriation, and Fionn finished the evening with a jubilatory speech on JA/Yes, on affirmation as a mode of criticality and being. What I recall most is the joy of the response to a show—a very silent cultural form in the end—a gestalt. A form of feast and reflection that served as a way of holding the exhibition and overcoming the strangeness of the private view. As a cultural form, the private view can be pretty awkward for artists: the work is already completed, nothing much happens, nothing is performed to channel anxiety and concentration and give a meaning to the temporality and the sociality of the gathering.
This is not the first time that programming connected to a showing of your work has taken the form of a dinner. What were those other events, and did they differ in format or content?
At Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt I organized a dinner with speeches for a solo exhibition in 2013. It was the first time that I have done this. At MMK the dinner was an integral part of the exhibition, which dealt with notions of poverty in art history and centered on an installation of tables. These tables were both real tables, for the dinner, which was a symposion like in Plato's texts: drinks, food, philosophy. At the same time they were display furniture for research I have done on the iconography of poverty.
At the MMK, the dinner was an integral part of the exhibition and shaped the installation, allowing me to think about display. At the Walker, the dinner was part of the programming, and it complemented the exhibition in a meaningful way. It allowed one to think of private views as a specific type of durational performance.
Noting that in your work you have explored notions of vulnerability and shame, interestingly—perhaps also ironically—you allowed yourself to be subject to a moment that awkwardly combined both the dynamics of invitation and display…
You are right, it is important to think about the sociality of art as a moment of display and thus vulnerability at the same time. There is still much to discover within this potential. And it is important that vulnerability is contagious: both the person delivering the speech and the person the speech is about are exposed. But they share this moment in friendship.
I love speeches for that reason. If they are good speeches—if they are generous and if they have something to say—the exposure is mitigated. In this regard the generous and meaningful speeches are like art. They transmit a vulnerable moment and hold it, while at the same time giving form to it. I think the Russian toast is exemplary in that way.

In 1505, Pope Julian the Second requested Michelangelo to create his magnificent tomb in St. Peter's Church. Michelangelo spent several months in the marble and stone quarries of the Carrara mountains to select the best possible blocks.
And then something happened because of which the Pope's tomb was postponed a quarter of a century. During his fourth month of exploration, Michelango found a unique mountain with the most fantastic rock formations, in an inspiring setting away from all traces of human hands. In his mind appeared an irresistible vision of an Orbis Pictus, a mystic world picture, which could become not only the greatest masterpiece of his career, but of all time. If he could only dedicate the rest of his life to it! Of course, such a tremendous undertaking was impossible without the help and financial contributions of his few Maecenases. Michelangelo request was unfortunately refused not only by the Pope and the Medicis, but by all those princes who wanted him to make rather their statues, tombs, chapels and churches.
Then came years of desperate material and spiritual struggle, and finally a deeply disappointed Michelangelo heartbrokenly gave up his greatest dream and resigned himself to the creation of masterpieces of lesser dimensions. The face of his statue of Moses, many years after, still expresses his own deep disappointment.
When I first read about the life of Michelangelo, about half a century ago, this intermezzo of his life became deeply engraved in my subconscious. During the last eight years I have been searching for a similar mountain to Michelangelo's mountain at Carrara, with similar rock formations and inspiring views, far away from anything man-made. Of course I was searching with a completely different purpose because I am not a sculptor like Michelangelo. I believe that a beautiful mountain is the most primordial and most universal source of inspiration on our planet. It is not pure coincidence, that the greatest revelations in the history of mankind were connected with holy mountains like the Himalayas, Mt. Sinai, Mt. Nebo, and Mt. Olympus. Patanjali, the founder of the Yogas, systematically trained his disciples to walk on the gentle slopes of the foothills of the Himalayas to maintain the right middle balance of the intensity of breathing and to draw inspiration from the mountains -- to extricate themselves from every man-made stimulus and commune with the purity and simplicity of nature.
The idea which gradually was crystallizing in my mind was to concentrate all the great teachings of mankind in texts, symbols, statues, drawings and all visual expressions which would harmoniously blend with the mountains. In view that there are less and less beautiful valleys and mountains untouched by human interference, it took me a much longer period of time than Michelangelo to finally discover such a perfect setting for my purpose. After eight years of searching, I was nearly ready to give up the idea when accidentally I came across a beautiful group of little hills and valleys on the top of a 3,500-foot plateau. It was called Rancho Mil Robles at Tierra del Sol, approximately sixty miles east of San Diego, owned by Commander Shaw of the U.S. Navy, Ret. Naturally, I acquired the ranch containing hundreds of beautiful rocks and oaks, with two springs and a creek. I immediately started to compress eight thousand years of wisdom into eighty acres. In one respect I was in a more favorable position than Michelangelo; having a small number of enthusiastic employees to help me, I didn't have to ask the Pope or the Medicis for their assistance. The basic quintessence of the work is nearing completion; of course, the details, additions and improvements may take many more years. But we know that perfection is an ideal toward which we may go closer and closer, even if we are never able to reach it.
This portfolio is just a skeletonic survey of the basic characteristics of Rancho Mil Robles (Thousand Oaks), which, due to its functional aspects, we transformed into the French form Mille Meditations (Thousand Meditations). We feel that this initial presentation (to which, additional improvements will progress, much more materials will be added) would not be complete without giving to the reader the reactions of the first visitors to Mille Meditations: reactions which prove that Mille Meditations means many different things to many different people.
The reaction of a Philosopher: "The most original and stupendous idea of Mille Meditations is the Pilgrim's Path. After reading and studying hundreds of volumes of abstract and contradictory books, I was amazed at the beautiful simplicity and astonishing efficiency of this idea: to learn the great teachings of the history of human thought by simply walking through a charming path of pilgrimage, over the gentle slopes of rolling valleys and hills, by reading and meditating over the wonderful texts and symbols on the seemingly endless variety of imposing, beautiful rocks."
The reaction of a Seeker: "The greatest of the many benefits I received from Mille Meditations is a workable philosophy of life. There is nothing more wonderful than discussing your personal problems with the great philosophers and applying this advice in your daily life. Mille Meditations solved for me my years of searching."
The reaction of a Psychoanalyst: "To me, the greatest point of Mille Meditations is its psychosomatic value. While the majestic panorama of Nature makes us forget our tensions in the city and fills us with refreshing peace, the great, beautiful teachings surrounding us give us inspiration and faith in the transcendental values of life."
The reaction of a Psychologist: "Besides all the benefits of my stay at Mille Meditations, the most important for me is what I am able to take home with me, what I can use continuously in my life to further my individual evolution. I speak mainly of the self-analysis system of Zarathustra, the weekly balance sheet of the "Individual Inventory," which I consider the most complete and most efficient system of psychology of all time."
The reaction of a College Professor: "The spontaneous, simple and automatic method of imparting knowledge in the form of self-education at Mille Meditations recalls to me the classic ideal of simultaneously and alternately training mind and body. The walk through the wonderful landscape never becomes monotonous in view of the constant alternation of fascinating texts, symbols, statues and constructions. The reading of and meditation on the great teachings of mankind is tremendously refreshed by the beautiful walks and panoramic views from the hundreds of benches distributed along the unique Pilgrim's Path."
The reaction of a School Teacher: "I really cannot imagine a better, more interesting or more efficient way to introduce great spiritual and philosophical ideas to youngsters than through a teacher's conducted tour along the Pilgrim's Path at Mille Meditations. All abstract ideas become intensively real as they are incarnated in the rocks, statues, symbols and different constructions, surrounded by the majesty of Nature. The impact of this spiritual and intellectual experience could easily be a vital turning point in their lives."
The reaction of a Civic Leader: "To me, the tremendous value of Mille Meditations is in the learning of Tolerance; in demonstrating that many different approaches and paths exist to the greatest Truths of Life and Universe, all with the same evidences and validity, proving that Tolerance is not a kind of logical and ethical conception, but a vital necessity both to society and in the life of the individual."
The reaction of a Minister: "Within one afternoon at Mille Meditations, I got a much clearer view of the similarities between the great religions than I achieved during a whole decade of reading on comparative studies of religions. The amazing similarities between the Cosmic Order of Zarathustra, the Wheel of Buddha, the Wheel of Yogas of Patanjali, and the Essene Communions, had an unforgettable effect on my whole outlook on my ministry."
The reaction of a Rabbi: "My reading of a dozen erudite and analytical works about the Dead Sea Scrolls never gave me the living impact I felt at the Summit of Enoch, the Holy of the Holies, and the rocks of the Ten Commandments and Moses. The practice of the Essene Communions at the Essene Sanctuary was the greatest spiritual experience of my life."
The reaction of a Buddhist: "In addition to the imposing dimension of Buddha's Wheel of Life and the awe-inspiring Sanctuary of Buddha, the walk around the perimeter (Samsara) of the Wheel and on the eight spokes (Noble Eightfold Path) toward the Center (Nirvana), in the midst of the spiritual sounds of the bells from India, gave me a much deeper feeling of the reality of the teachings of Buddha than anything I have experienced."
The reaction of a Yoga Teacher: "In spite of the articles I write and the lectures I give on Yoga, I never realized the existence of all the sixteen Yogas of Patanjali and their ultimate balance. From now on I will completely revise my theory and practice from my previously one-sided approach to a fuller and more complete system of all sixteen Yogas."
The reaction of an Executive: "Mille Meditations is for me the rediscovery of a lost paradise. After a distressing five days of sitting at my desk in the city, solving complicated problems with the continuous tension of making vital decisions, all under the stress of multiple responsibilities, my visits to Mille Meditations are recharging my depleted batteries. One tour through the wonderland of panoramic views, relaxing on the scattered benches while meditating on the rocks, playing twenty holes of the fascinating Toltec Ball Game, taking a refreshing Sumerian Bath and a siesta in the Floral Vapor Room, and I feel completely renewed and able to face another week of imminent stress."
The reaction of an Average Weekender: "I have made a habit of going out of town each weekend. Taking into consideration all the beautiful places I have visited, Mille Meditations, even without all the wonderful things added, in itself, with its fantastic rocks, hidden hills and valleys, breathtaking views and beautiful oaks, is one of the most wonderful places on earth."
The reaction of an Athlete: "I have played football, soccer, golf, croquet and basketball. I never imagined I would be able to play all five games together in the form of the Sacred Ball Game of the Toltecs, which, according to my judgment, based on twenty years of sports experience, is the most complete existing physical culture system of any country. In addition to the intellectual stimuli of learning the basic symbols of the Toltec culture, their names and meanings, their system of numbers and their concept of life and the universe, it is the best preventive sport to keep onself physically fit."
The reaction of a Reducer: "Not being a very spiritual person, and finding that off and on I have a nearly permanent weight problem, I found that, at least for me, the greatest value of Mille Meditations is the pound I lose each day I play the twenty-hole Toltec Ball Game and hike the one-and-a-half mile Pilgrim's Path. My regular visits there help me to control my weight in a very pleasant way."
These are fifteen different reactions from fifteen very different kinds of people. And, like any living organism, as Mille Meditations grows and develops in various directions, so will it attract more and more a variety of people, benefiting in different ways to be sure, but all under the far-reaching influence of eight thousand years of wisdom.

Teddies Arrive In The Emergency Departments At Downe and Lagan Valley
Teddies for Loving Care (TLC) have donated teddy bears to the Emergency Departments in the Downe, Ulster and Valley hospitals for staff to give to children or patients at their discretion. Giving a teddy bear to anyone who is distressed while in hospital will enable the medical staff to carry on with their vital work and help children and families have a more comforting experience.
The teddies will be used in various ways, for the child or patient to cuddle as a reward for being brave and for staff to demonstrate what they are going to do. The teddies also act as a distraction and can provide reassurance for the child which helps, parents, guardians and siblings.
Teddies for Loving Care (TLC) is a charity supported by the Masonic Order within Ireland who donatesterile packaged teddy bears to hospital emergency departments in both Northern and Southern Ireland.
Cathal Killen, Clinical Co-Ordinator, Emergency Medicine says "This is an excellent charity and will really help when children attend the department. Children can find an attendance to the Emergency Department very distressing, by giving them one off these beautiful cuddly teddies, the child feels reassured and happier during their visit and it is great that they can take the teddy home.. We can put bandages, plasters etc on the teddies to reassure the child. We would like to thank Teddies for Loving Care for their generosity."
David Penpraze from Teddies for Loving care (TLC) said: "Teddies for Loving Care are being given to Emergency Departments in the Ulster, Lagan Valley and Downe hospitals as part of our increasing involvement within many parts of the community in Northern Ireland.
"The charity was started in England because of the distress of a patient, witnessed by her family, when being treated in an Emergency Unit for a life threatening condition. She survived but the family wanted to help others in similar situations and focused on children who could less understand the strange environment and the things being done to them."

Propensity Score Matching and Subclassification in Observational Studies with Multi-level Treatments
Propensity Score Matching and Subclassification in Observational Studies with Multi-level Treatments
December 14,2015Working Paper No. 3381
In this paper, we develop new methods for estimating average treatment effects in observational studies, focusing on settings with more than two treatment levels under unconfoundedness given pre-treatment variables. We emphasize subclassification and matching methods which have been found to be effective in the binary treatment literature and which are among the most popular methods in that setting. Whereas the literature has suggested that these particular propensity-based methods do not naturally extend to the multi-level treatment case, we show, using the concept of weak unconfoundedness, that adjusting for or matching on a scalar function of the pre-treatment variables removes all biases associated with observed pre-treatment variables. We apply the proposed methods to an analysis of the effect of treatments for fibromyalgia. We also carry out a simulation study to assess the finite sample performance of the methods relative to previously proposed methods.
