Put Yourself in Heavenly Hands
by Guy Finley / Founder and Director of Life of Learning Foundation
There is a lower world where fears are real - where all things, and everyone living in this world, are unknowing participants in the fear that's found there. In this darker realm, the thing feared is inseparable from the nature that fears it, so that any action taken by this nature to end the fear it feels becomes the seed of its next fearful state ... Most of us already know how this story plays out: in the end, we unwittingly cause the very thing we most feared would happen. There is a higher world where fears such as these can't enter, let alone infect. Its peace is inseparable from its wholeness because in the higher worlds holiness is perfect protection; no creature can come into it that hasn't agreed to be one with its harmony.

Qualities of a Good Yoga Student
by Yogi Baba Prem / VedicPath.com
While more students are taking yoga classes than at any other time in history, yoga has often become something that we 'take' or 'do'. We attend class; we are going to yoga; we have purchased the latest fashions for yoga class. But occasionally, we miss the point that yoga is a maturing process of our limited consciousness and preparation for infinite consciousness, which requires that it become a lifestyle as opposed to something we 'take' or 'do'.

Breathe out waves of water, of energy, of color, of sound. Allow these waves to flow out of you. Notice where you are tensing, pushing, trying to make the waves happen. And let go, let the waves flow out easily with your breath. Feel the gentle pulsations of the waves deep inside yourself. Feel every cell of your being pulsing peacefully and joyfully with these waves ...

Do you have a recurring theme in your life
that you would to like to understand or know how to change? Guidance can give you the insight you need in a
Channeled Life Reading
. When these recurring themes are painful, they frequently manifest as chronic illness, repeated patterns of difficult relationships, crushing debt, intrusive negative thoughts, and other recurring and painful events, situations and conditions; life can be overwhelming. Long ago in my practice Guidance showed me that recurring themes always have an underlying energy that most of us are largely unaware of. By clearing that energy at the source, the recurrent themes no longer manifest. The source energy includes past lives, childhood, trauma, fear, and persistent belief systems in the mass consciousness that you're having a hard time letting go of. We can help you clear underlying energy with
Mind-Body-Sprit medicine

Spirit Babies
Most mothers understand that it is possible to communicate with the unborn child.
This does not have to stop if the pregnancy ends in miscarriage or termination. As an intuitive, I have developed the ability to help apparently infertile couples achieve their goal. They are helped to connect with the spirit of the child who was lost to them, or not yet conceived.
Before birth, babies are undoubtedly aware of their mother's and father's thoughts and feelings. They are in still the spirit realm, therefore less restricted than most humans in their field of knowing.
A couple who have suffered a miscarriage may need help in communicating with the child, which may have reasons for being afraid to come. Spirit Babies are very specific about the reasons for choosing their parents (citing interests the parents have, which they had not told me) or past life/geographical data about the parents which are relevant to the choice of parents.
Do you wish to communicate with the child you are meant to have?

An international team of scientists, including botanists from the University of Toronto, have identified a pair of genes which can be used to catalogue the world's plants using a technique known as DNA barcoding a rapid and automated classification method that uses a short genetic marker in an organism's DNA to identify it as belonging to a particular species.
"Barcoding provides an efficient means by which we can discover the many undescribed species that exist on earth," says Spencer Barrett, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Toronto and the head of the Canadian plant barcoding working group. "This discovery is important because understanding biodiversity is crucial to long-term human existence on the planet."
DNA barcoding has been widely used to identify animal species since its invention five years ago. But its use for plants was delayed because of the complex nature of plant genetics and disagreements over the appropriate DNA regions to use.
"We compared the performance of the seven leading candidate gene regions against three criteria: ease of obtaining DNA sequences; quality of the DNA sequences; and ability to tell species apart based on a sample of 550 species of land plants", says Barrett. "Based on this global analysis we recommended that matK and rbcL two chloroplast genes are adopted as the DNA barcode for land plants."
The primary application of the methodology will be the identification of the many species in the world's biodiversity hotspots where a shortage of specialists hinders conservation efforts. Other applications include identifying illegal trade in endangered species, identifying invasive organisms, poisonous species and fragmentary material in forensic investigations. The technique will work on minute amounts of tissue and can be used on fragments of plant material, small seedlings, and in some cases digested or processed samples.
The methodology will a

What do the creators of UML understand by an incremental and iterative software development?
Re: UML incremental and iterative software development.

Monday, August 12, 2002 08:30 AM
Excerpts from my copy of the UML Reference Manual on CD (PDF) (ISBN 0-201-30998-X), p. 299, Encyclopedia of Terms, "Incremental Development":
The development of a model and other artifacts of a system as a series of versions, each omplete to some degree of precision and functionality, but each adding incremental detail to the previous version. The advantage is that each version of the model can be evaluated and debugged based on the relatively small changes to the previous version, making it easier to make changes correctly. The term is closely allied with the concept of iterative development.
P. 319, "Iterative development":
The development of a system by a process broken into a series of steps, or iterations, each of which provides a better approximation to the desired system than the previous iteration. The result of each step must be an executable system that can be executed, tested, and debugged. Iterative development is closely allied with the concept of incremental development. In iterative incremental development, each iteration adds incremental functionality to the previous iteration. The order of adding functionality is chosen to balance the size of the iterations and to attack potential sources of risk early, before the cost of fixing problems is large.

UML was designed to support this kind of a thing, where a particular UML diagram might only represent a temporary intermediate incomplete state that a system is going through, during your development process.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Ritz-Carlton, Washington DC
Not what you expect from a 5 star hotel with this name
Having been in this hotel for 5 nights in february 2005, I must say that the Ritz Carlton did not meet my expectations.
It is located well outside westwards downtown Washington.
The next railwaystation is at least 5 miles away and the hotel provides a free limusine-service but only from 10.00 am and then again from 6 p.m..
There is no free internet accses - indeed it costs you something like 10 USD for 10 minutes! The rooms are ok but not more then this.
I did not experience a very special service mentality.
The nice bit about is the matter of fact that the hotel has a direct exit into a (smaler) shopping mall and it only takes you five minutes walking to enter one of the biggest malls in the washington area.
There must be other hotels around where you get a better feeling for the price you've paid.
Good hotel
Stayed at the Ritz Carlton for a wedding, so had a special rate $150/night. (this is the Ritz on 22nd st NW). great rooms, large bathroom with separate shower and tub. ( Could use a heat lamp in the bathroom). Good service. Breakfast was expensive - $20/person plus, lunch not as bad. There is a 24 hour convenience store at the exxon station diagonally across the street. so that helps. nice quiet neighborhood.
Very Nice
My husband and I stayed here for two nights in an executive suite. I am partial to the Ritz-Carlton and this one did not disappoint.
The decor is somewhat different from other Ritz-Carlton's, but nicely done. Our suite (particulary the bathroom) was very spacious and clean. The service was typical of the Ritz and every request we had was seen to promptly. The food was very good, with a friendly and gracious staff.
Overall, our stay here was enjoyable and with the amenities you would expect from an upscale hotel.
Loved it!
We stayed at the Ritz DC over the weekend while attending a wedding. We stayed on the Club level and it was fabulous. There really is never a time when you cannot have something delicious in the Club lounge. This is a large lobby like room off of the elevators, not just an extra hotel room with a few amenities. The staff were very helpful in directing us to Goergetown which is a short walk away. When I called for a wake up call, the gentleman asked me what time I would like my follow up call, as well as what time would I like coffee silently waiting outside my door. Everything was wonderful!
You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover
We stayed at this Ritz overnight while visiting our daughter. From the outside the hotel looks like an office building, with a gas station right across the street. Once you step inside however the ambience is complete elegance. We have stayed at a couple Ritz Carletons that have that generic, business hotel feel, but this wasn't the case. We were really surprised at how spacious and lovely our room was especially because the room rate was quite reasonable for a high end city hotel. The room service breakfast was above average. The staff we encountered were genuinely nice while proficient. Our daughter told us that the LA Sport Club and its spa which are in the same building have the most incredible facilities she has ever seen. We much preferred the accommodations at the Ritz to the Four Seasons which we stayed in last year. That said you can't beat the Four Seasons location in Georgetown for shopping and dining within walking distance, the Ritz is in more of an office district.
Terrible Hotel
Falls far below the traditional Ritz-Carlton standards. Service is very poor and is only comparable to a low-end motel chain. Management is impolite, loutish and offensive. Rooms are well-equipped and good size. Room service is horrendous, at best. With the solitary exception of the bar and lounge, restaurant food and service is awful. The worst views, I have experienced in a Ritz. The best of the views available is the Exxon gas station right in front of the main entrance. Gym is jam-packed, as it is open to the general public. Most definitely the worst Ritz, I have seen in the world.
Difficult to find a better place!
I stayed at this fine place two nights end of February 2004. The hotel and its staff deserve the highest praise. All special requests were taken care of immediately, the room was spacious, elegant and very quiet, the room service faster than everyone would expect, and the food quality outstanding (never had better fries as a side dish). Nice walking distance to Georgetown. This wil be my place to stay in DC.
Thanks again to the staff! F. Diederichs
Best value on CLub Level
Just returned from 4 nights at this wonderful hotel if you stay on the Club Floor. I was upgraded from an already ridiculously low rate (see dchotels website for the best rates ever; they negotiate with the hotels!) to CLub Level for $100 total (thought it was that each night, which would have been worth it, but only sharged that for 1 night). it pays to ask for an upgrcde at this hotel. the food service on the club leval is without parallel; who needs to go out and eat when you get 5 superb food servings per day. the best is the hors d'oeuvres (?) from 5-7 with full open bar including fine wines and liquor. i am tellling you , this is a great deal. i don't know what it would be like in a regular room without the club level amenities, but the rate also includes acces to the finest gym in d.c. this is a terrific treat, especially if you negotiate! th serviced is fine otherwise, though the staff can be a little young and over-enthusiastic.
Great Location + Great Service = AMAZING HOTEL!
From the moment we arrive to the moment we checked out, the staff at the Ritz Carlton were there to help. The addressed us by our names and treated us with the upmost respect. We got a great rate (199 a night) and it was worth it. Great location, within easy walking distance of everything! ALSO, great food service, which when asked adapted the menu to our choosing. One of the best hotels I have stayed at! I give it my highest recommendation!!!
One Of The Finest Hotels In Washington
I was a guest of the Ritz Carlton over the Easter Weekend. It is one of the finest hotels I have ever been to. The location is excellent, it is in the elegant West End where it seems that all of the fine hotels are located. It's a ten minute walk to Georgetown and a five minute walk to the nearest Metro station.The exceptional service began from the moment the doorman opened the car door with a warm friendly greeting. The lobby is charming and not overwhelming. The Lobby Bar right next to it is a great place for a nightcap or to read the morning newspaper.As for the room, the decor was beautiful and spacious. The king sized bed was very comfortable and the Frette linens very soft. I would recommend requesting a room overlooking the courtyard, it was very quiet, not that the rest of the hotel isn't. The bathroom was large and sparkling with a separate shower and tub.The staff was very friendly and helpful, always greeting you upon your return to the hotel with a "welcome back!" I called the concierge to inquire about the hours for the Mt. Vernon Homestead and a short time letter a package arrived with all kinds of information about tours and such. I did not dine at the hotel or have room service so I cannot comment on that. I will definitely stay at the Ritz when I am again in Washington.

Washington, USA
... webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">
Next stop Rapid City via Denver.
... the Korean and Vietnam war memorials, the reflecting pool, made famous in Forrest Gump, the Washington Monument, WW2 memorial, The White House and the Capitol building. In between we took in some culture including the national archives which holds the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and the famous Declaration of Independence. A guard gave us the heads up on where it was so we were able to beat the crowds and get a really good view quickly. We quickly popped into ...
Washington, a city of monuments
... Jefferson memorial, a stunning monument to a great man, featuring selected writings around the wall. Beautifully placed on the water and surrounded by cherry blossom trees, a gift of friendship n 1912 to the people of the US from the people of Japan. They bloom in early April so we were a little late.
Visiting the Capitol

When a website doesn't call for a lot of content, it might be a good idea to go with the single page approach – where all of the content lives on the home page and the navigation, in most cases, allows the user to jump from one section to another. In the past few years, we've seen a steady increase in popularity of these types of sites, mainly partly because the use of jQuery can make for some nifty transitions and effects. For you're inspiration, we gathered some really nice examples of websites that use only one page to show all their content.
From minimalist layouts to colorful ones, from plain and simple menu navigations to parallax scrolling, you will find plenty here to inspire you. Take some time and check them all out, and let us know which one is your favorite.

Infectious Disease (08 Edition)by Scientific American
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
The international public health scare that resulted last year when a man infected with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis flew overseas from the United States and back illustrates both the fear and the potential impact of highly infectious diseases in a global age. At a time when scientists warn of the potential for an influenza epidemic to rival the deadly outbreak of 1919 and newspapers feature alarming headlines about incidences of mad cow disease, infectious disease will be a critical area of concern and scientific study in the twenty-first century.and#160;and#160;and#160;and#160;and#160;
Infectious Disease collects thirty of the most exciting, innovative, and significant articles on communicable illness published inthe pages of ScientificAmerican magazine since 1993. With sections devoted to viral infections, infectious disease, the immune system, and global management and treatment issues, Infectious Disease provides general readers and students with an excellent overview of recent research in the field. Roger I. Glass discusses a potential vaccine for the rotavirusand#8212;a leading cause of severe childhood diarrhea world wide and frequent killer of young children in developing nations. Jeffery K. Taubenberger and colleagues investigate the virulent strain of influenza that killed up to 40 million people in 1919 to suggest treatments and recommend preventative measures. And Paul R. Epstein looks into whether global warming could be harmful to our health, untangling research that suggests that many diseases will flourish as Earthand#8217;s atmosphere heats up. and#160;and#160;and#160;and#160;and#160;
The prominence of disease in the ecology and evolution of human society has spurred investment in research and technology development, and, as a consequence, the topic is much discussed in the general and scientific media. Infectious Disease is the essential sourcebook for anyone looking for the solid science and compelling narrative behind the stories that make headlines.

Zipcar optimistic about initial public offering
NEW YORK — Zipcar Inc., the car-sharing company that rents rides for as little as an hour, is expected to get a warm reception from Wall Street for its planned initial public offering this week.
Its supporters think skyrocketing gas prices will make car sharing more popular. They praise Zipcar's technological savvy and its plans for overseas expansion. Zipcar is "one of the long-awaited hot tickets in the IPO valley," said John Fitzgibbon, founder of IPOscoop.com.

The deadline for the common currency hasn't been postponed officially, but it may as well have been. No one's surprised.
March 25, 2009 12:58 by Dana El Baltaji
For years, the region has promised that a common currency and a monetary union will unite GCC nations, and help consolidate the region's efforts to achieve unprecedented economic growth and security. It hasn't happened yet.
Nasser Al Kaud, the deputy of the assistant secretariat general for economic affairs at the GCC, has called for a delay in January 1, 2010 deadline for the monetary union in a speech he delivered at the GCC Banking Conference in Manama, reports The National. More specifically, he asked for a new timeline.
The call was the first recognition by the GCC Secretariat that the deadline may not be met, in spite of repeated reports by economic analysts stating that the nations are underprepared for the creation of the monetary union and the common currency.
Earlier this month, the Economic Intelligence Unit said that both the monetary union and the currency will not be feasible until 2020. "Most of our interviewees thought it feasible that the GCC would have monetary union by 2020, though not by 2010," the Economic Intelligence Unit said in its 2020 outlook report.
Oman has already opted out of the monetary union. In 2006, Omani officials said they felt it was unlikely that the GCC nations will be ready by 2010: "Rather than delay the process, they want the other countries to move ahead, and they can join at a later date," said an official to Reuters, who asked not to be named.
In May 2007, they made their stance official: "Our decision is not to participate in the Gulf monetary union… because we do not want to restrict our monetary and fiscal policies at present," Homud Al-Zidjali of Oman's central bank told a banking conference in Kuwait.
Previously, analysts speculated that Kuwait may decide against joining the monetary union.
As of today, the participating states – Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait – have not decided on a name for the common currency, a location for the central bank and whether it will be pegged to a basket currency for float freely.
More importantly, however, the nations have not announced their strategies for dealing with the member states' varied economies. For instance, a study by the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) published in March showed that Saudi Arabia accounted for 52 percent of the GCC's GDP, compared with 22 percent for the UAE and 12 percent for Kuwait.
The nations, however, continue to push for the monetary union, citing economic and commercial gains as some of the main reasons behind the initiative.
How will the nations deal with their differences in time for the monetary union's 2010 deadline? And how far back will the new deadline for the common currency be pushed back (if at all)?

to weakening demand for chemical products. High input costs and
