Being a full-time caregiver is demanding and even super humans need a break every now and then. When a caregiver needs to take a vacation, go away for the weekend, attend a wedding, have surgery, or just need time to themselves, Crestview offers a short-term stay service to aide at-home caregivers.
This service is private pay only. Services provided and admittance procedures are the same regardless of length of stay. We especially encourage short-term residents to attend activities to keep their days at Crestview fun and interactive. Short-term residents are here briefly, but we take the time to make them feel right at home. We provide all the attention and help they need from our friendly, caring staff.

The Muscular System
Muscles are what allow and make your skeleton able to move around. The muscles are attached to the bones by strips of dense connective tissue called tendons. The origin is one end of the muscle which remains stationary during a muscle contraction. This gives the muscle something to pull against. The insertion is the other side of the muscle, it is attached to a bone that moves when the muscle contracts. A muscle's insertion always moves towards its origin. Flexors cause the limbs to bend at a joint, while extensors cause them to straighten. One muscle pulls the bone in one direction the other pulls it back. When you move, both muscles are not told to move at the same time. If they moved at the same time your bones wouldn't move anywhere. There are small fibers called myofibrils, which are within each larger muscle fiber. The myofibrils, in turn, contain many filaments of the proteins myosin actin.
One end of each actin filament is anchored at a Z line, which is the location of a protein that crosses a myofibril. Myosin and actin filaments lie parallel to one another and are arranged in sarcomeres, repeating units that are bounded by two Z lines.
Some athletes are tempted to use drugs called anabolic steroids to increase the size (and the strength) of their muscles. A muscle strain, commonly called a pulled muscle, is the overstretching or tearing of a muscle. Muscle strain occurs when a muscle is overused or when strenuous exercise is done without warming up exercises. A sprain is a torn or overly stretched muscle, ligament, or tendon. If excessive stress causes the tendons that the muscles attach to bone to become inflamed, then tendonitis results, which is an extremely painful condition.

Panopticism is a social theory named after the Panopticon, originally developed by French philosopher Michel Foucault in his 1975 book Discipline and Punish. The "panopticon" refers to an experimental laboratory of power in which behaviour could be modified, and Foucault viewed the panopticon as a symbol of the disciplinary society of surveillance.[1]
Jeremy Bentham proposed the panopticon in the 18th century as a circular building with an observation tower in the centre of an open space surrounded by an outer wall. This wall would contain cells for occupants. This design would increase security by facilitating more effective surveillance. Residing within cells open to the tower, occupants would be readily distinguishable and visible to an official invisibly positioned there. Conversely, occupants would be invisible to each other, with concrete walls dividing their cells. Due to louvers in the windows of the tower, occupants would not be able to tell if and when they are being watched, making discipline a passive rather than an active action. As a result, the cell-mates behave as if they are being watched, though they cannot be certain eyes are actually on them. There is a type of invisible discipline that reigns through the prison, for each prisoner self-regulates, in fear that someone is watching their every move. Although usually associated with prisons, Bentham suggested that the panoptic style of architecture might be used in other institutions with surveillance needs, such as schools, forced-labor factories, lazarettos, insane asylums, or hospitals.[citation needed]
Foucault's Discipline and Punish[edit]
In Discipline and Punish, Michel Foucault builds on Bentham's conceptualization of the panopticon as he elaborates upon the function of disciplinary mechanisms in such a prison and illustrates the function of discipline as an apparatus of power. The ever-visible inmate, Foucault suggests, is always "the object of information, never a subject in communication".[2] He adds that,
"He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power; he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his own subjection" (202-203).[3]
Foucault offers still another explanation for the type of "anonymous power" held by the operator of the central tower, suggesting that, "We have seen that anyone may come and exercise in the central tower the functions of surveillance, and that this being the case, he can gain a clear idea of the way the surveillance is practiced".[4] By including the anonymous "public servant," as part of the built-in "architecture" of surveillance, the disciplinary mechanism of observation is decentered and its efficacy improved.
As hinted at by the architecture, this panoptic design can be used for any "population" that needs to be kept under observation or control, such as: prisoners, schoolchildren, medical patients, or workers:
"If the inmates are convicts, there is no danger of a plot, an attempt at collective escape, the planning of new crimes for the future, bad reciprocal influences; if they are patients, there is no danger of contagion; if they are madmen there is no risk of their committing violence upon one another; if they are schoolchildren, there is no copying, no noise, no chatter, no waste of time; if they are workers, there are no disorders, no theft, no coalitions, none of those distractions that slow down the rate of work, make it less perfect or cause accidents".[2]
By separating the subjects and placing them in a state of constant visibility, the efficiency of the institution is maximized. Furthermore, it guarantees the function of power, even when there is no one actually asserting it. It is in this respect that the Panopticon functions automatically. Foucault goes on to explain that this design is also applicable for a laboratory. Its mechanisms of individualization and observation give it the capacity to run many experiments simultaneously. These qualities also give an authoritative figure the "ability to penetrate men's behavior" without difficulty.[2] This is all made possible through the ingenuity of the geometric architecture. In light of this fact Foucault compares jails, schools, and factories in their structural similarities.
Examples in the late 20th and early 21st centuries[edit]
A central idea of Foucault's panopticism concerns the systematic ordering and controlling of human populations through subtle and often unseen forces. Such ordering is apparent in many parts of the modernized and now, increasingly digitalized, world of information. Contemporary advancements in technology and surveillance techniques have perhaps made Foucault's theories more pertinent to any scrutiny of the relationship between the state and its population.
However, while on one hand, new technologies, such as CCTV or other surveillance cameras, have shown the continued utility of panoptic mechanisms in liberal democracies, it could also be argued that electronic surveillance technologies are unnecessary in the original "organic" or "geometric" disciplinary mechanisms as illustrated by Foucault. Foucault argues, for instance, that Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon provides us with a model in which a self-disciplined society has been able to develop. These apparatuses of behavior control are essential if we are to govern ourselves, without the constant surveillance and intervention by an "agency" in every aspect of our lives. The Canadian historian Robert Gellately has observed, for instance, that because of the widespread willingness of Germans to inform on each other to the Gestapo that Germany between 1933-45 was a prime example of Panopticism.[5]
Panoptic theory has other wide-ranging impacts for surveillance in the digital era as well. Kevin Haggerty and Richard Ericson, for instance, have hinted that technological surveillance "solutions" have a particularly "strong cultural allure" in the West.[6] Increasingly visible data, made accessible to organizations and individuals from new data-mining technologies, has led to the proliferation of "dataveillance," which may be described as a mode of surveillance that aims to single out particular transactions through routine algorithmic production. In some cases, however, particularly in the case of mined credit card information, dataveillance has been documented to have led to a greater incidence of errors than past surveillance techniques.[7]
According to the tenets of Foucault's panopticism, if discursive mechanisms can be effectively employed to control and/or modify the body of discussion within a particular space (usually to the benefit of a particular governing class or organization), then there is no longer any need for an "active agent" to display a more overtly coercive power (i.e., the threat of violence). Since the beginning of the Information Age, there exists a debate over whether these mechanisms are being refined or accelerated, or on the other hand, becoming increasingly redundant, due to new and rapid technological advancements.
Panopticism and capitalism[edit]
Foucault also relates panopticism to capitalism:
"[The] peculiarity of the disciplines [elements of Panopticism] is that they try to define in relation to the multiplicities a tactics of power that fulfils three criteria: firstly, to obtain the exercise of power at the lowest possible cost (economically, by the low expenditure it involves; politically, by its discretion, its low exteriorization, its relative invisibility, the little resistance it arouses); secondly, to bring the effects of this social power to their maximum intensity and to extend them as far as possible, without either failure or interval; thirdly, to link this 'economic' growth of power with the output of the apparatuses (educational, military, industrial or medical) within which it is exercised; in short, to increase both the docility and the utility of all elements of the system" (218).[3]
"If the economic take-off of the West began with the techniques that made possible the accumulation of capital, it might perhaps be said that the methods for administering the accumulation of men made possible a political take-off in relation to the traditional, ritual, costly, violent forms of power [i.e. torture, public executions, corporal punishment, etc. of the middle ages], which soon fell into disuse and were superseded by a subtle, calculated technology of subjection. In fact, the two processes - the accumulation of men and the accumulation of capital - cannot be separated; it would not be possible to solve the problem of the accumulation of men without the growth of an apparatus of production capable of both sustaining them and using them; conversely, the techniques that made the cumulative multiplicity of men useful accelerated the accumulation of capital ... The growth of the capitalist economy gave rise to the specific modality of disciplinary power, whose general formulas, techniques of submitting forces and bodies, in short, 'political anatomy', could be operated in the most diverse political régimes, apparatuses or institutions" (220-221).[3]
Panopticism and information technology[edit]
Building onto Foucault's Panopticism and Bentham's original Panopticon, Shoshana Zuboff applies the Panoptical theory in a technological context in her book, "In the Age of the Smart Machine."[8] In chapter nine, Zuboff provides a very vivid portrayal of the Information Panopticon as a means of surveillance, discipline and, in some cases, punishment in a work environment.[9] The Information Panopticon embodies Bentham's idea in a very different way. Information Panopticons do not rely on physical arrangements, such as building structures and direct human supervision.[10] Instead, a computer keeps track of a worker's every move by assigning him or her specific tasks to perform during their shift. Everything, from the time a task is started to the time it is completed, is recorded.[11] Workers are given a certain amount of time to complete the task based on its complexity. All this is monitored by supervision from a computer. Based on the data, the supervisor can monitor a worker's performance and take any necessary action when needed.
The Information Panopticon can be defined as a form of centralized power that uses information and communication technology as observational tools and control mechanisms.[12] Unlike the Panopticon envisioned by Bentham and Foucault, in which those under surveillance were unwilling subjects, Zuboff's work suggests that the Information Panopticon is facilitated by the benefits it offers to willing participants.
In chapter ten of "In the Age of the Smart Machine," Zuboff provides the example of DIALOG, a computer conferencing system used at a pharmaceutical corporation in the 1970s.[13] The conferencing system, originally intended to facilitate communication among the corporation's many branches, quickly became popular with employees. Users of DIALOG found that the system facilitated not only innovation and collaboration, but also relaxation, as many employees began to use the system to joke with one another and discuss non-work related topics.[14] Employees widely reported that using the system was a positive experience because it created a culture of shared information and discussion, which transcended the corporation's norms of formality and hierarchy that limited the spread of information between divisions and employees of different ranks.[15] This positive culture was enabled by the privacy seemingly offered by the conferencing system, as discussion boards could be made to allow access only to those who were invited to participate.[13] The Panoptic function of the conferencing system was revealed, however, when managers were able to gain access to the informal discussion boards where employees posted off-color jokes.[16] Messages from the discussion were posted around the office to shame contributors, and many of DIALOG's users, now knowing there was a possibility that their contributions could be read by managers and fearing they would face disciplinary action, stopped using the system.[17] Some users, however, kept using the system, raising the question of whether remaining users modified their behavior under the threat of surveillance, as prisoners in Bentham's Panopticon would, or whether they believed that the benefits offered by the system outweighed the possibility of punishment.
Zuboff's work shows the dual nature of the Information Panopticon – participants may be under surveillance, but they may also use the system to conduct surveillance of others by monitoring or reporting other users' contributions. This is true of many other information and communication technologies with Panoptic functions – cellphone owners may be tracked without their knowledge through the phones' GPS capabilities, but they may also use the device to conduct surveillance of others. Thus, compared to Bentham's Panopticon, the Information Panopticon is one in which everyone has the potential to be both a prisoner and a guard.
It is argued by Foucault that industrial management has paved the way for a very disciplinary society.[18] A society that values objectivity over everything else. The point of this is to get as much productivity from the workers as possible. Contrasting with Bentham's model prison, workers within the Information Panopticon know they are being monitored at all times. Even if a supervisor is not physically there, the computer records their every move and all this data is at the supervisor's finger tips at all times. The system's objectivity can have a psychological impact on the workers. Workers feel the need to conform and satisfy the system rather than doing their best work or expressing concerns they might have.[19]
The Information Panopticon diverts from Jeremy Bentham's model prison by adding more levels of control.[20] While the Bentham's model prison system is made up of inmates at the lowest level monitored by a guard, the Information Panopticon can have various levels. A company or firm can have various satellite locations, each monitored by a supervisor, and then a regional supervisor monitoring the supervisors below him or her. Depending on the structure and size of a firm, information Panopticons can have several levels, each monitoring all the levels beneath it.
Now, the efficiency of the Information Panopticon is in question. Does it really lead to a better work place and higher productivity, or does it simply put unnecessary stress on the people being monitored? A major criticism of the system is its objectivity.[21] It is solely based on numbers, therefore not allowing for human error. According to Zuboff, some people find the system to be highly advantageous, while others think it is very flawed because it does not account for the effort a worker puts into a task or things outside of a worker's control.[22] Furthermore, the lack of direct supervision only adds to a potentially precarious situation.
Theoretical arguments in favor of rejecting the Foucauldian model of Panopticism may be considered under five general headings:[23]
- Displacement of the Panoptical ideal by mechanisms of seduction,
- Redundancy of the Panoptical impulse brought about by the evident durability of the self-surveillance functions which partly constitute the normal, socialized, 'Western' subject,
- Reduction in the number of occasions of any conceivable need for Panoptical surveillance on account of simulation, prediction and action before the fact,
- Supplementation of the Panopticon by the Synopticon,
- Failure of Panoptical control to produce reliably docile subjects.
The first point concerns Zygmunt Bauman's argument that the leading principle of social order has moved from Panopticism to seduction. This argument is elaborated in his 1998 essay 'On postmodern uses of sex'.[24]
The second argument concerns surveillance redundance, and it is increasingly relevant in the age of Facebook and online self-disclosure. Is the metaphor of a panopticon appropriate for voluntary surrender of privacy?[citation needed]
The third argument for post-Panopticism, concerning action before the fact, is articulated by William Bogard:
The figure of the Panopticon is already haunted by a parallel figure of simulation. Surveillance, we are told, is discreet, unobtrusive, camouflaged, unverifiable – all elements of artifice designed into an architectural arrangement of spaces to produce real effects of discipline. Eventually this will lead, by its means of perfection, to the elimination of the Panopticon itself . . . surveillance as its own simulation. Now it is no longer a matter of the speed at which information is gained to defeat an enemy. . . . Now, one can simulate a space of control, project an indefinite number of courses of action, train for each possibility, and react immediately with pre-programmed responses to the actual course of events . . . with simulation, sight and foresight, actual and virtual begin to merge. . . . Increasingly the technological enlargement of the field of perceptual control, the erasure of distance in the speed of electronic information has pushed surveillance beyond the very limits of speed toward the purest forms of anticipation.[25]
This kind of anticipation is particularly evident in emergent surveillance technologies such as social network analysis.
The 'Synopticon' concerns the surveillance of the few by the many.[26] Examples of this kind of surveillance may include the theatre, the Coliseum, and celebrity tabloid reporting. This "reversal of the Panoptical polarity may have become so marked that it finally deconstructs the Panoptical metaphor altogether".[23]
Finally, the fifth point concerns the self-defeating nature of Panoptical regimes. The failure of surveillance states is illustrated by examples such as "prison riots, asylum sub-cultures, ego survival in Gulag or concentration camp, [and] retribalization in the Balkans."[23]
In their 2007 article, Dobson and Fisher[27] lay out an alternative model of post-panopticism as they identify three panoptic models. Panopticism I refers to Jeremy Bentham's original conceptualization of the panopticon, and is it the model of panopticism that Foucault responds to in his 1975 Discipline and Punish. Panopticism II refers to an Orwellian 'Big Brother' ideal of surveillance. Panopticism III, the final model of panopticism, refers to the high-technology human tracking systems that are emergent in this 21st century. These geographical information systems (GIS) include technologies such as cellphone GPS, RFIDs (radio-frequency identification tags), and geo-fences. Panopticism III is also distinguished by its costs:
Panopticon III is affordable, effective, and available to anyone who wants to use it. Initial purchase prices and monthly service fees are equivalent to cell-phone costs. In less than five years, the cost of continuous surveillance of a single individual has dropped from several hundred thousand dollars per year to less than $500 per year. Surveillance formerly justified solely for national security and high-stakes commerce is readily available to track a spouse, child, parent, employee, neighbor, or stranger.[27]
The Cornell University professor and information theorist Branden Hookway introduced the concept of a Panspectrons in 2000: an evolution of the panopticon to the effect that it does not define an object of surveillance more, but everyone and everything is monitored. The object is defined only in relation to a specific issue.[28]
Paris School academic Didier Bigo coined the term 'Banopticon' to describe a situation where profiling technologies are used to determine who to place under surveillance.[29]

Customer Demand for Cloud Services Brokerages (CSBs) Fuels Growth for B2B Data Integration Provider
ATLANTA, GA – February 13, 2014
Liaison Technologies, a global provider of secure, cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions, today announced year-over-year (YoY) growth of 66 percent for its managed services reseller program and 252 percent growth within its referral channel. This increase from 2012 to 2013 is reflective of the continuing focus on the cloud services brokerage (CSB) market – an industry that drove 60 percent of Liaison's overall YoY growth – and demand for cloud services support particularly for complex data integration projects. In fact, by 2015 Gartner predicts that 20 percent of cloud services will be sold through brokerages like Liaison.
Last year, Liaison established new partnerships and continued working with long-standing partners like Ariba to fuel the company's 25 percent YoY reseller billings growth. The software reseller channel also saw a 62 percent YoY growth.
The introduction of Liaison's SaaS and cloud-based Application Partner Program further solidified the company's focus on creating a robust channel and partner ecosystem to streamline the delivery of B2B and data management solutions for customers. The combination of a powerful partner network and increasing complexity of cloud and data integration projects were key factors that led to Liaison's growth of its managed services reseller program.
"For years, Sikich has worked with Liaison to increasingly meet the growing demand and needs of our clients, helping them navigate the EDI minefield," said Mel Heckman, development manager at Sikich (a professional services firm). "Liaison's cloud platform has been particularly impressive and allowed many of our clients to have extensive EDI partnerships with little to no internal EDI expertise. Our decision to continue working with Liaison over the past several years has been a simple choice because of their dedication and flexibility to provide the best benefits for our clients."
"The past year was pivotal for the CSB market in general, and it's now very clear that the work we've invested over the years with our partners to build out Liaison's reseller channel is seen as a valuable differentiator among customers," said Megan Pulliam, VP of channel sales at Liaison Technologies. "Our channel enables us to provide 'mass customization' to customers, an area of the CSB market solely owned by Liaison. We remain committed to this model, and provide customers with the industry's most flexible solutions."
Recognizing the proficiency of Liaison's channel program, CRN acknowledged the company in its 2013 Partner Program Guide. Furthermore, 2013 was also a rewarding year for Megan Pulliam as she was endorsed as a Supply and Demand Chain Executive Pro to Know, CRN Channel Chief and CRN Woman of the Channel.

The more active you are during youth, the naturally higher your threshold will be. Most of the top athletes in the world come from rural areas where they lead a more active lifestyle than children in the United States. Aerobic running, along with more activity in general, will help prepare kids for long-term success in running.
Watch the best athletes in the world and they will share a common trait: economical movement across the ground. If you can't move well, you can't move fast. Teach the nervous system to move quickly. Sometimes a background in other sports can provide a good base for nervous system development. Many of the best distance runners have come out of soccer, ballet, gymnastics and basketball. Henry Rono and Said Aouita were soccer players first and Joaquim Cruz played basketball.
Another way to learn to move with better economy is to practice light proprioceptive drills 3-4 x weekly. These drills can greatly enhance the body's ability to get better at movement specific to running. We use very light movement drills from sprint guru Dan Pfaff.
There are many ways to strengthen the body including weights, plyometrics or natural resistance such as hills, which we use. By being stronger, not only will you prevent injuries but you will recover better from hard workouts.
Train the opposite ends of the spectrum and save specific work for later. Train the aerobic system to be better developed in the future but also train muscles for speed in an alactic way. Use easy aerobic running with many 60-80 minute easy runs. Instead of hard specific work, concentrate on raising anaerobic threshold with 20-40 minute fast runs. Use hard intervals very sparingly. Save the specific work until you are older and both systems in the body are more fully developed. Develop bases in both speed and endurance. Wait until more fully mature to develop event specific endurance through specific interval training. Better to develop speed or capacity for speed through short hills and aerobic endurance through long runs and continuous intense runs than to overdo the anaerobic work. Essentially, with younger athletes, you are building the infrastructure to become a better endurance athlete in the future through very general aerobic training for you organic system and the alactic system for your muscles.
Train your mind to be fearless. Learn from failure but don't dwell. Get back up from defeat quickly and confidently. It is important to take educated risks in racing and training. Getting out of your comfort zone and taking risks in your environment and in racing tactics can help change your mind frame to become a better athlete.
Train your mind to endure. A large part of distance running is having mental strength when the body is fatigued. Physiologically, by always adding a little bit more volume and a little bit more intensity the body will gradually become more fatigue resistant and subsequently the mind will follow.

On August 21, 2017 the world will experience a total solar eclipse projecting a 70 mile-wide shadow from our Moon across the United States, fittingly called "The Great American Eclipse." An eclipse occurs whenever our three Solar System's components involved, our Sun, Moon, and Earth, all align to form a straight lineup on Earth's "ecliptic," the path our Sun appears to follow on Earth. Because the Moon travels up to a 5 degree variance either north or south of the ecliptic, an eclipse will not occur at every New Moon or Full Moon. An eclipse, dear Ones, is just one of many miraculous wonders within our physical experience of Life on Earth. A rainbow is another, as a rainbow is a manifestation of Light waves interacting with physical matter – a rainbow is produced by Light waves interacting with water particles within a specified 42 degree angle from an observer. We also experience the natural wonder of thunder and lightening. Thunder is an auditory experience and is caused by the expansion of air near a lightening bolt, while lightening is a "sudden electrostatic discharge occurring during a storm." The experience of all of Mother Earth's natural phenomena serving to support our Lives has not changed, even as she has already assumed her new role as a Fifth Dimension Creator Planet! So what will be so unusual about "The Great American Eclipse?" Firstly, this is the first solar eclipse since Mother Earth completed her entire Fifth Dimension Transition and secondly, its unique location on Earth!
The Great American Eclipse is uniquely positioned to project a 70 mile-wide path of our Moon's shadow across the United States. In fact, the Great American Eclipse will only be visible either in its entirety or partially within North America and South America, hence its title, "The Great American Eclipse." The Eclipse's unique location on Earth will be indicating which landmass was "preselected" to begin the renovation of Mother Earth for Life in the Fifth Dimension. What may now seem to be an accumulation of obstructions or a multitude of deterrents to block that from occurring will actually be a "blessing." The "blessing" occurs with the administration of the United States' current president, Donald Trump, who is one who sees everything entirely from a Fourth Dimensional perspective – a past where possibilities no longer exist on Earth! For this reason Trump sees people serving to fulfill an economic purpose rather than as Souls fulfilling a Spiritual Purpose. His shortsighted understanding within Mother Earth's Fifth Dimension will only be leading him to fulfill his own role in Mother Earth's "Great Melting" from April 19, 2017 through December 27, 2018 – serving to assist Mother Earth's elimination of the use of her former Fourth Dimension Vibratory Frequency! In actuality, anyone else elected as President of the United States would have also been serving in the role of assisting in Mother Earth's "Great Melting" process, but Trump will do it faster and more thoroughly, or in his own words, "bigly."
The administration of Trump will always be remembered for its tendency to be in a state of war or in a state of preparation for the next war – at war with someone while preparing for the next war with someone else, or threatening war with another nation while preparing for the next war! Old habits are hard to break, dear Ones, as this is a tendency from a previous incarnation on Earth as a former absolutist king in Europe. In a state of war or in preparation for war, Trump's interest in humanity's economic purpose serves to generate his own self worth and self-interest – to increase the value of the economy, whatsoever the cost to humanity! International relationships will suffer greatly in the next few years, especially with nations having similar interests. All one has to do is see the tendencies of Trump's general approach to Life – to be in a state of war or preparing for the next war! Although leadership around the world will continue to provide support for him, they too will also be learning from him – how to further advance their own self-interests without him! Our world will become even more chaotic and will enter into a hyperactive state of disarray like we've never seen before! What we will be waiting for, as Souls seeking to fulfill our Spiritual Purpose in Mother Earth's evolving Fifth Dimension, will be the momentum to enact our new direction in the Mother Earth's Fifth Dimension! So, see the chaos and hyperactivity to be a "gift," dear Ones, as the entire world will expect you with open arms!
For the duration of two hours and thirty seven minutes, Mother Earth and every Life form upon her body will be unified in the oneness of her momentum for the first time within her Fifth Dimension, as "The Great American Eclipse" is an Earth Event and not an isolated incident solely affecting the United States! Many people will be physically watching the Eclipse within the proximity of the 70 mile-wide path of our Moon's shadow across the United States while many more still will also be watching "The Great American Eclipse" live through their mobile phones or the Internet. Even those sleeping or consciously unaware of the existence of this two hour and thirty-seven minute event will be affected, for consciously aware or consciously unaware this is an Earth Event and not an isolated incident solely affecting the United States! We are all connected within the entirety of the Universe and always have been! The realization that we are all connected and unified in oneness will serve to awaken many Souls through their participation in the witnessing of "The Great American Eclipse!" Not by just watching it live but also through the realization that for a moment, they all rose in Unity with every Life form on Earth to witness it! And now, dear Ones, the gap between those experiencing Life within Mother Earth's evolving Fifth Dimension Vibratory Frequency and her former Fourth Dimensional world will be severing even further apart, as will all the last remaining bridges of access to the past!
The experience of Mother Earth's natural phenomena serving to support our Lives has not been altered, dear Ones! Eclipses will still occur into the future as long as Mother Earth is still rotating around our Sun and our Moon continues to rotate around Mother Earth. The major difference between now and in the future will be the locations where we view our eclipses, as Mother Earth will soon begin to realign her entire physical body for participating in the Universe's Fifth Dimension. The realignment of her physical body will begin initiating during the "Vega Effect" from September 25 through December 23, 2017, when Mother Earth will be shifting her internal magnets to align her with her new Pole Star of Vega. Mother Earth's rainbows will still be present for our observation in Mother Earth's Fifth Dimension, but the phenomena of the rainbow will have much to teach us, dear Ones! For by remembering and accessing our Soul's vast pool of memories we will begin regaining our innate ability to Create in the Fifth Dimension – for as a rainbow is a manifestation of Light waves interacting with physical matter we too will become Light Sources to transform and manifest physical matter into our own "rainbows!" As for the United States' President Trump, he was a "gift" and a "blessing" to all of Mother Earth's Fifth Dimension, for he will serve quite well in his role to assist Mother Earth's "Great Melting" process, or in his own words, "bigly."

A Quick Gourmet Pizza Post
Pizzas are one of my favourite meals to cook, whether it's en masse while hosting friends for the evening, or as a quick dish to tie together assorted leftover ingredients in the fridge into something delicious. There are too many possible combinations of flavours to list them all here, so here's just one that's simple, delicious and uses ingredients that are generally lying around the house. It's a quick recipe, as quick as 30 minutes start to finish if you're oven's up to it, and comes with a bottle of pre-matched wine as an added bonus.
Pizza starts and ends, is made or broken, right here. Pile on all the gourmet ingredients you like, a soggy slab of bread will never make a great pizza. You can have a thick base or thin, but just make sure that it's not soggy. My preference is for a thin, crispy base, so that's what this one is. This is a quick recipe, with shorter rise times than you might be used to, but they're just long enough.
For one large base:
- Mix 3/4C Rye flour, 1/4C Semolina, a teaspoon of dry yeast and half a teaspoon of salt. If you don't have either, wholemeal flour will do the job, or plain at a pinch, but the flavour suffers.
- Stir through warm water until the dough is clumping, but not too sticky (quantity depends on so very many things that even using the same flour every time, I always need a different amount of water). Turn your oven on to 50°C.
- Start kneading. Rye and semolina make for a stiff dough so kneading is hard work, but it only takes a few minutes to start turning elastic. It'll never stretch as far as a high-gluten dough, but it does become softer and easier to work. You may need to work more water in if it gets too stiff, which is harder than it sounds but works if you just keep kneading the suddenly slippery blob, or more flour if it's too sticky, which is dead simple-just spread flour on your hands and the kneading surface. When you're done, roll the dough into a ball.
- Get some oil on your hands and use them to oil a bowl and coat your ball of dough. Put it in the bowl, turn off your oven and put it in there to rise while you prepare toppings. 10 minutes or so should do it.
Scoop out the seeds, peel it (Don't waste the peel! Save it for stock powder.) and dice into 1cm cubes. Toss them in some honey, olive oil and a dash of strong red wine (or balsamic vinegar), grind on some salt and pepper, and spread them in a roasting dish. Take the dough out of the oven, punch it down and put it aside. Crank the oven up to 220°C, turn on the grill and put the pumpkin on an upper shelf. If you have a pizza stone, put that on the bottom shelf now. If you don't have a pizza stone, seriously consider investing in a cheap terracotta floor tile to use for one. They're only a few dollars from tile suppliers, and sometimes free if they have any chipped/spare ones from a big job. They work just as well at a fraction of the cost.
Depending on how quickly your oven heats, it'll take the pumpkin ~10 minutes to be ready. Check after a few minutes, and stir them around the dish to stop the tops from burning. Take them out as soon as they're done (caramelised outside, still slightly firm in the middle). Overcook them and they'll either burn or turn to mush.
Caramelised Onion
While the pumpkin cooks, finely slice some red onion (brown works almost as well if that's what you have. Just sprinkle a little brown sugar on them before you add the wine and they'll be delicious) and start frying it in some butter. Keep the heat down on medium to stop them from burning. Grate/crush in a couple of cloves or garlic after a few minutes. When the onions have started to darken, pour in a few tablespoons of red wine and a dash of honey. Stir it through, caramelising onto the onions and deglazing the pan. It'll boil down quickly, so you have to work fast. The moment it turns from bubbling wine into a rich caramel on your onions, turn off the heat and get the onions out of the pan into a bowl before they burn.
Assemble the Delicious
Spread some semolina on your benchtop and roll out the pizza base. Keep flipping and turning it to get it even, until you have a firm base a couple of mm thick. If you have a pizza peel, you can prepare the pizza and use that to transfer it onto the stone. If not (like me), I find it easiest to put the stone on my stove top, and assemble the base directly onto it. Either way, spread the caramelised onion and pumpkin, crumble over some cheese (goats cheese or feta are best, but use whatever leftover end of an interesting cheese you have in the fridge) garnish with chopped sage (if you don't grow sage in your garden, consider putting in a plant. They're nigh on invincible and fresh is vastly superior to dry) and a twist of pepper. Put the stone back in the oven and wait.
The thin base and the pizza stone mean it cook fast, and the base'll be ready by the time the cheese starts to melt. Again, it depends on your oven, but mine takes ~5 minutes to cook a thin pizza.
The pizza base should have crisped enough that you can slide it straight onto a board. Now enjoy with the rest of the wine you opened for the onions and pumpkin.

Today is your one month birthday-and ironically my original due date!
From the moment the doctor showed me your precious face, just seconds after you came out of my tummy, I felt love in a whole new way. It's an amazing feeling to feel an emotion like that. I imagine you will go through a phase of your life where you will get tired of me telling you how much I love you, but I won't ever grow tired of telling you.
It is true what people will tell you: time does fly when you are having fun. I am still amazed and in awe of you each time I look at you-almost as if I can't believe you are really mine. But I'm so thankful that you are. God truly had a plan in creating you-and we look forward to sharing how much you were loved before you were even born.
You've already been given several nicknames-Juice, Pooter, Squeaker, Lil' Man, Bright Eyes...and Im sure these are only the beginning of the list. But you definitely fit your real name: you are such a peaceful baby. Yes, you have your moments, but you truly have a serene nature-you are content to just stare at the new world around you. I would love to know what you are thinking when you furrow your eye brows--which you do a lot. It seems like this could indicate a "serious" personality, but I think you are just thinking really hard=)
You have my eyes: no question about that. Not sure what color they will be yet. I see so much of your daddy in you--those cute facial expressions, and your cute button nose.
Your dad and I could really stare at you for hours. In fact, I have lost track of time on many occasions while we are cuddling. Watching your eyes move, your mouth form this cute little "o-shape" when you are hungry, and hearing you coo and squeak is priceless. You make this cute little sucking noise when I am burping you when you haven't quite realized you don't have the bottle in your mouth anymore! When you are really hungry, your daddy teases you by making you think his nose is a bottle--mean daddy! Speaking of your dad, he sings a song to you that goes like this: "I like da zipper, I like da zipper" He is not a fan of your button up outfits, so he makes sure you know how much he likes your zipper outfits! You and I usually take a mid morning nap together, and then have tummy cuddle time in the evening while we are watching TV with daddy. I wonder if you enjoy hearing the sound of my heart beat--you did hear it for a long time!
You've had a lot of "firsts" in your first month of life:
- Got to meet your grandparents, aunt, uncles and special friends
- Watched and cheered for your parents favorite ACC basketball teams-I am thrilled you felt this way about Duke. You MUST be a Wake fan!
- Saw your very first snow! The biggest snow we've had in this part of our corner of the world in almost 9 years--although you won't remember it, we made sure to document it for you--and you even got your own little snow ball--you weren't a fan of holding it though.
- A trip to see your Aunt C--our first big outing--and it made mommy realize how much extra time it takes to leave the house!
- We take a daily picture (most days--some days the lack of sleep makes me forgetful!) so that we can see how you are growing!
- You have a really cool and special set of Godparents--we are so thankful they are our friends
- Today at the doctor you weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and you were 20 1/2 inches long: great progress!
- When you get to eat: Im so proud and thankful for your willingness to adjust. Thank goodness you aren't a picky eater like me!
- When you get to sleep: and stretch when you wake up--your arms go up to your head, and your face squishes up-so cute
- Peeing when you don't have a diaper on
- Being on your tummy--especially when you are on mommy or daddy's chest
- Sunbathing: we've put you in the kitchen window to get natural light to help get rid of your jaundice, and you love the warmth
- Car rides: puts you right to sleep
- Making noises that are so incredibly cute-sometimes we swear you are laughing!
- Being cold
- Bath time
- Wipes
- Being nakey

Human beings have been living with polio for thousands of years, Cochi said. There's evidence from ancient Egypt that paralytic polio existed there and even infected royalty. But it wasn't described clinically until 1789.
Polio primarily spreads from person to person -- through coughing and sneezing -- or through fecal contamination. The particles are large enough that the risk of contracting polio in the air is momentary, and on a surface like a desk or a chair, it can last an hour or two. But in sewage, it can last for weeks or even months.
* * *
"It has been known for decades that polio and myalgic encephalomyelitis traveled in side-by-side epidemics, and that those affected with ME were later found to be immune to polio."
Dr. Richard Bruno has studied both diseases. In 1988, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis was re-named Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to hide the severity of the disease that Dr. Bruno theorizes that "when polio was conquered, it left a vacuum which was filled by another enterovirus; CFS researchers have found an enterovirus."
Life as we know it: Dr. Bruno: Parallels in CFS/FMS/Polio
Since no one I knew at the time had CFS, it's clear that I got it from a stranger. Perhaps someone on the street coughed as I walked past. Perhaps someone who had it touched the faucet in the office bathroom and I picked it up after I washed my hands when I turned the water off.

In September 2011, I embarked on my solo public relations pro journey. Although, it wasn't necessarily on my terms, I always dreamed of being my own boss. When the opportunity did arise, I was excited and eager to take on the solo PR world. It's been nearly two years now, so how do I feel? It's hard to put into one or two words. Continue reading

Danny Elfman ("Batman," "Spider-Man") has confirmed to MTV News that he will be composing the music for "Terminator Salvation", McG's post-Judgement Day installment of the blockbuster franchise.
"I just started yesterday" says Elfman who indicated the original "Terminator" theme by composer Brad Fiedel was not in use yet – "I think if it comes up and it seems appropriate, we will [use it]. And if it doesn't, we [won't]. I never really know what to expect when I begin other than just kind of get into it and have fun. Especially a movie like "T4″ – just have fun. So that's what I intend to do."
The "Salvation" soundtrack will also include a track by the film's star hip-hop artist Common who plays a freedom fighter who battles Skynet alongside John Connor in the film.

What to look for on Smart Talk Monday, June 16, 2014:
Domestic violence plagues women and men of all ages, socioeconomic status, and education levels. Deaths from domestic violence have increased in Pennsylvania since 2012. Of the 107 victim deaths in 2013, more than half were a result of partner-related violence. Five children died in domestic-violence related homicides.
Domestic violence is the physical abuse of a family member, sexual intimate, or person with whom you may have a child in common. The legal definition of domestic violence in Pennsylvania includes attempting to cause bodily injury, rape, sexual assault, endangering another person's welfare, and stalking.
For those affected by domestic abuse, the justice system offers civil legal protection with protection from abuse orders (PFAs). A judge signs the order, which warns the perpetrator of domestic violence that if they do not cease the abuse, they will face serious legal consequences.
A protection from abuse orders the abuser away from the victim's home and prohibits physical abuse, harassment, or stalking under penalty of imprisonment. All firearms and weapons used to threaten the victim must to be turned over to the police. The abuser is required to pay for damage caused to the victim, including medical treatment. Minors are removed from the custody of an abuser. A PFA also provides for temporary child support.
There are three types of PFAs. Emergency PFAs may be ordered immediately by dialing 911 and will last until the next business day. Ex parte temporary PFA will be ordered by a judge to protect the victim or an abused minor without a full court hearing for the abuser. This will last for 10 business days until a hearing can be set. A final PFA lasts up to three years and may be extended.
PA Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Legal Director Ellen Kramer and Executive Director Peg Dierkers
On Monday's show, Peg Dierkers and Ellen Kramer from the PA Coalition Against Domestic Violence will talk about ending domestic violence, ordering a PFA, and a program that attempts to identify those at high risk and connect them with services.
For more information on how to file a PFA:

One listener emails:
What happens when the PFA is done out of spite? I understand that the theory is valid, but what happens when it goes wrong? Basically, you are guilty until the PFA expires. In the case of the children/ elderly, there is one word- Sandusky. This can ruin someone for life if convicted via job/ criminal record. Is there verification of facts/ dates before the document (PFA) is filed? Please discuss the safeguards for the "defendant".
Thanks for highlighting the important work of PCADV, and providing listeners with information that can save lives. The discussion about the media I believe warrants more attention. News coverage of intimate partner violence and femicide leaves much to be desired. Victim blaming, lack of in-depth journalism, and a tendency to sensationalize personal tragedy do little to inform viewers and change outcomes. We need to get conversations like these into the mainstream media!
I called in, mentioned that Domestic Abuse needs to be re-labeled as DOMESTIC TERRORISM----which it is.
It fits every descriptor of terrorism.
If we start calling it what it actually is, we might engage both the public and the government in a very different consciousness of the problem.
The other thing I mentioned is that the district attorney's offices around the State are NOT using a primary legal tool, Section 2709.1-18, Stalking---which includes any perpetration of putting others in threat of harm or causing undo emotional distress with intent--------and this includes anyone in a person's life including those with whom one is living under the same roof.
Were the DAs pushing this to the courts the courts would have to begin to recognize it. . . .the excuse that is currently being used by the DAs is that the courts will not accept the charge, therefore they can't use it in indictments: a false argument.
The law as written couldn't be clearer:
§ 2709.1. Stalking.
(a) Offense defined.--A person commits the crime of stalking when the person either:
(1) engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts toward another person, including following the person without proper authority, under circumstances which demonstrate either an intent to place such other person in reasonable fear of bodily injury or to cause substantial emotional distress to such other person; or
(2) engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly communicates to another person under circumstances which demonstrate or communicate either an intent to place such other person in reasonable fear of bodily injury or to cause substantial emotional distress to such other person.
(b) Venue.--
(1) An offense committed under this section may be deemed to have been committed at either the place at which the communication or communications were made or at the place where the communication or communications were received.
(2) Acts indicating a course of conduct which occur in more than one jurisdiction may be used by any other jurisdiction in which an act occurred as evidence of a continuing pattern of conduct or a course of conduct.

Get a glimpse into the growing graphics market in India, a country with billions of people and millions of opportunities in digital imaging.
It is human nature to remember the leader, numero uno, the first-place finisher. And it is almost second nature to glean over—even immediately forget—the runner-up or the second in command. Sports fans love reciting past championship winners. We hear about Nobel Prize recipients, but rarely much about those who almost won. And I would be surprised if anyone could name more past US vice presidents than past presidents.
So why all of this mention of second place? Well, there's been a lot of talk recently about China and the impact that Chinese companies will have—especially on the global wide- and grand-format markets for inkjet printing. China lays claim to the world's largest population and the fastest growing global economy. And China's more than 25 domestic manufacturers of inkjet printers and an equal numbers of suppliers of both inkjet ink and inkjet media make it very difficult to ignore.
But what impact will India, the country supporting the world's second largest population and the second fastest growing global economy, have on the graphics industry? And how will it differ from the impact that China has had and possibly will have? I will try to answer these questions and provide my own predictions on India's future impact in the global wide- and grand-format-graphics industry.
A big market—but how big?
With 1.1 billion people, India's population is the world's second overall largest. It is also the world's largest English-speaking population.
India's GDP grew by an estimated rate of more than 9% in the first quarter of 2006, making it the second fastest growing major economy. But to be more accurate, India supports the fourth largest economy as measured by purchasing power parity and the twelfth largest economy as measured in terms of the US dollar exchange rate. But just how big is the graphics-printing industry in India? And what exactly does this mean for those companies serving the US market? The answer to both questions is that nobody really knows for sure.
