Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning by Diego Espitia and Rames Sarwat.
August 24, 2017. Our experts Diego Espitia and Rames Sarwat with a special guest will talk about innovation in AI and Machine Learning applied to Security. Don't miss out this webinar, so book your seat now!
#11PathsTalks: Inteligencia Artificial y Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence is a technology that has been developing and perfecting automatic learning processes for several years. It has been able to place practical applications on the market that always maintain a high level of associated innovation, and which are not the traditional robots that we see in science-fiction movies. But it is also true that in this last term quite a lot of work has been put into the concept called Machine Learning, based on giving computers the ability to learn without the explicit requirements of programming. Based on neural network schemes, they imitate the functioning of the human brain using computational units to determine behaviors or to generate information processing without the need of a specific program.
The application of these technologies in information security habits is generally very well received and analyzed, as they allow the use of disruptive tools to solve enormous challenges, having to guarantee an effective replacement of tasks that are currently based on the decisions or logic expressed by a person based on their prior knowledge. Is this bringing us closer to the concept of Skynet? How far are we from what is predicted in American movies?
Perhaps understanding and knowing specific projects will allow us to answer these questions, and that is why we will go into this points for this webinar, looking for specific answers from our perspective: information security.

OK, so maybe my new flip-flops don't look anything like my inspiration (Prada creepers), but at least I know I will wear these. The idea originally was to buy some oxford shoes* (maybe like these but cheaper, perhaps thrifted men's brogues), and then attaching two-three layers of colorful flip-flop soles. Or maybe, I thought, instead of brogues I could even improvise and use something like espadrilles for my top part + flip-flop soles... Well, turns out I am too chicken to wear something as funky. So I just settled for Prada inspired flip-flops :(
For this project I used Annie's tips on how to glue the soles together. I used Shoe-Goo (Walmart) and Old Navy flip-flops. First, I made three layered ones, but honestly I did not think thongs yielded enough support for such a heavy, bulky bottom. So second time around I tried only two layers (luckily, ON flip-flops are now on sale for $2.50 a pair).
Cut the thongs off (except the top pair) and push/pull all the pieces out. Make sure the surface you are about to glue is oil and dirt free by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. Apply a thin layer of Shoe-Goo and spread evenly with an old kitchen knife, palette knife or an old ruler (the glue will wash off if it's still wet).
Place heavy books, weights or bricks on top and let the glue dry for about 24 hours.
After about 24 hours it will look something like this:
Using hot glue gun, I next attached jute (or jute-like) trimming just like I did with my duct tape wedges.
And I have just the right scarf to match these beauties instead of Prada boa (again, I have to be practical).

Tuning Feet
The first step in uncovering sound you didn't even know was there!
Harmonix tuning feet are the first step towards perfect sound. Placed under CD players, turntables, preamps, power amps, speakers, and other equipment, these remarkable devices eliminate electronic and mechanical distortion to bring out a depth of sound you didn't even know was there. After positioning the tuning feet, turn up the volume and hear the difference: clearly defined instruments emerge with much cleaner edges; the sound range becomes more balanced, with richness and sensitivity in the mid range. Vocals snap with more accuracy and immediacy. There is a much quicker response, less decay, and no distortion. Harmonix tuning feet also reduce noise, jitter and rippling in video equipment, resulting not just in better sound, but also in better color contrast and vividness of image.

Strategies for Lighting Up Your Landscape
A well-designed landscape is a thing of beauty not only during the daytime but during the nighttime. Lights can transform your landscape into a dreamy wonderland when the sun goes down. It becomes a place for you to relax and just simply soak in the relaxed or romantic mood. The lights also serve to illuminate the path to prevent slip-ups and accidents, especially for those who are not familiar with your landscape. Landscape lighting can also be a security feature, since trespassers would be more hesitant to enter a lighted area.
Here are some Salt Lake City landscaping strategies for landscape lighting:
– Make a plan. Before your install any lighting fixture, you need to first consider what results you want to achieve (i.e. what kind of mood you want to set and how the lighting can complement the overall look and atmosphere of your home). Then, using a sketch, identify the landscape elements you already have. Make a sketch of these elements, noting items such as Utah shrubs and trees, other plantings, waterfalls, statues, ponds, buildings or benches. Then, identify the areas you want to illuminate.
– Select points of interest. You don't have to illumine everything in the garden. You just need to create lighted areas that serve to draw the people's attention and interest. Some of the main points of interest would be the doorway and the path leading up to it. Providing warm lights add to the welcoming atmosphere as people walk towards the house. Other points of interest include ornamental plants or trees or decorative fixtures such as sculptures. You may also need to light up the driveway, steps, patios, pergolas and gazebos.
– Play with light and shadows. If you have a Utah retaining wall, you can create a wall wash by installing a light fixture just a few feet away from that wall. This highlights not just the wall but the surrounding plants.
– Designate sitting areas in the garden. This will be your vantage point to the spectacular night view of your landscape. You can opt for steel lawn chairs, kitchen chairs or a bench.
– Go for the moonlight effect. Rather than have lights all ablaze, go for subtle lighting, one that mimics the soft light of the moon. This does not detract from the beauty of your plants and landscape picture. Rather, the moonlight effect gives them a soft, romantic aura. The moonlight effect can also eliminate dark areas without creating the shadows that bright lights produce. It can thus serve to increase the security of the area.
– Make use of the various lighting options. To provide an element of surprise to your landscape lighting, vary the fixtures of your choice while still working to maintain a united look. For instance, rather than using only flood lights and spot, you can also make use of lanterns, hanging lights, step lights, bullet fixtures, box lights, area lights and lamp posts. You can also vary the position from which the light will shine. You can highlight some areas by mounting the light to shine downwards in some areas while using uplighting for other areas.
– Don't forget the safety considerations. Ask questions like, "Where are the sockets?" "How safe are the lighting fixtures?" "Is it properly installed?" You can ask your Utah landscaping contractor to install the lights (as well as create the landscape lighting design).
– Consider installing LEDs. LEDs may be a bit more expensive to install but will come out cheaper in the long run. LED lights use low-voltage wiring, utilize 75% less energy and last much longer than their incandescent or halogen counterparts.
– Add lighting to your water fixtures. The way light plays on the surface of moving water is magical in itself. If you have already installed a Utah waterfalls or fountain, use some uplighting to capture the sparkles of water as it flows.

Jo will be appearing at the OFIS sponsored Design Talks at this year's INDEX Design Series – taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, May 22-25, 2017.
How excited are you to be involved in an interiors show as big and wide reaching as INDEX?
JH: I'm really excited. It's a real honour to be involved in such a prestigious show. I'm really looking forward to meeting with and talking to a wide range of people from across the world and discussing different approaches to interior design.
You've obviously made your name designing living spaces for others. How would you describe your own personal tastes when it comes to your home?
JH: My own personal style is quite eclectic, elegant and tranquil. I don't like an interior to be too contrived or matching. I like things to look as though they've grown organically and that there's a story behind the interior; so that it tells the story of the person that's living there. Art is a big focus - I love art. I love lots of different sorts of art, including very contemporary, abstract, minimalist. Steven Lindsay's work is beautiful - he's one of my favourite artists at the moment.
Greens and bold, lush designs are staple trends this year, which goes hand-in-hand with the theme at this year's INDEX. What are some of your favourite 2017 design trends?
JH: I love that the focus is around nature and simplicity. I am always big campaigner for texture. Layers of texture add so much to any scheme. The trends for 2017 see texture in abundance - brushed brass, hand-washed linens and worn leathers and textured wall coverings. Marble and bronze is another favourite. This trend was on the rise last year and it's going to be really big in 2017 - I love the contract between the hard, cold texture of the marble with the warm tones of bronze.
INDEX this year is all about design for the senses - creating spaces that truly stimulate the senses. What can people do to bring design to life in such a way?
JH: The theme Index is taking this year is an exciting one. Nature is a great starting place for any home design and offers a wealth of inspiration on colour, texture and light. A home should be a restful calming space that gives us a sense of peace, it calms the very core of us if we get it right. Lighting is the absolute key in this. People understand they need to physically light a space but often mood lighting is missed out. It's really important to be creative here. Nature uses layer after layer of texture and the results are beautiful.
Dubai is home to thousands of British expats. What key differences should expats consider when it comes to designing their home in the desert rather than back in the UK? What should they try and avoid here that they'd maybe incorporate into their interiors back home?
JH: One of the luxuries that Dubai expats will have is the quality of light. They can be softer with tones because subtle beautiful tones will be rendered more clearly and in a way that it is just not back in the UK. The light in Dubai gives a freedom the UK doesn't have to play with colour. The sun is so warm and vibrant, so cooler tones work really well; blues, greens and violets look particularly beautiful. Whereas in the UK we want to warm everything up, in somewhere like Dubai you have the opportunity to bring in cooler, hard textures like stone and marble. Warmth can be brought not only by fabric, but by warmer-toned woods - balancing those cooler textures and colours with warmer textures, warmer materials. Textured fabrics in cushions and accessories will make the scheme feel comfortable as well as beautiful.
When it comes to designing for a client, how do you to truly understand what that person wants from their space? Do you have any special techniques? Is that one of your favourite parts about being a designer, really getting to know your clients?
JH: It's what really excites me — being able to listen to somebody and translate their likes and dislikes into a discernible style even though they might not even know they have one. It's a real skill and a big part of my job to decipher a client's style and translate that into a coherent design. I'm interested in the client's story, so that I can draw that out and show a journey in the pieces I choose — that might be some very modern piece that is very clean and sharp, next to an antique piece from Hong Kong because the client lived there for a period of their life, or got married or engaged there or some other significant life event. I love that story element of designing an interior.
What are the key elements anyone should consider when designing a living space?
JH: Colour, lighting, space and planning. Balancing colours with soft neutral tones is important. Whatever the colour choice, pay attention to the neutral tones you choose to partner them with. We can bring more or less impact depending on how many neutrals we introduce to the scheme.
Lighting is also crucial - good lighting shows the true nature of colours. Design a lighting scheme that really shows your chosen colours off. Pick out beautiful architectural features and create a bit of drama in the room.
Space and planning. Remember to allow the space to breathe - a common mistake is to clutter the space with furniture and to think you need a piece in every single corner, but actually the space will just feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic. So remember to allow space around pieces for flow and calm.
When owning rental properties, what are the biggest dos and don'ts when it comes to their interior design?
JH: Create a really beautiful, elegant backdrop that anybody could just walk into, with soft neutral tones. Don't be afraid to add some colour in the accessories to give the scheme a bit of personality, maybe with a fabulous piece of art or some feature cushions. Don't go garish with colour but do punctuate with it with some nice features and warm tones, inky colours work really well. Because the colour is only in the accessories - if somebody doesn't like it then they can take it away easily enough.

TBILISI, Georgia — Exit polls in Georgia's hotly contested parliamentary race suggested on Monday that a party backed by the billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili has edged out the party headed by Georgia's larger-than-life president, Mikheil Saakashvili.
A poll by Edison Research broadcast on Georgian television showed that Georgian Dream, Mr. Ivanishvili's party, had probably won more than half of the popular vote. This result is a sobering verdict on Mr. Saakashvili and his ruling team, who took power in the peaceful Rose Revolution nine years ago.
The shift will have a practical effect because next year Georgia's Parliament will take on many powers that now rest with the president, according to recent changes to the Constitution. But Mr. Saakashvili's party may retain a majority of parliamentary seats because half the seats are allocated in individual races, rather than by overall party vote.
In his years in office, Mr. Saakashvili has restyled Georgia as a bastion of resistance to Russian influence and a laboratory for free-market economic policy.
He faced no formidable challenges until the emergence last year of Mr. Ivanishvili, a reclusive philanthropist who has spent years spreading his Russian-earned billions around Georgia's countryside. Mr. Ivanishvili has tapped into long-simmering grievances over poverty and the heavy-handed ruling style of Mr. Saakashvili and his team.Continue reading the main story
It was a remarkable upset. After the exit polls were released, cars flying Georgian Dream flags screamed down the central artery here, and thousands gathered in Freedom Square. Temur Butikashvili, 52, a filmmaker, said it was the first time Georgia had changed its leadership through an election.
"We have done what all our ancestors aspired to. We have calmly, quietly transferred power," Mr. Butikashvili said.
Of Mr. Saakashvili, he said: "We had great hopes when he came in. He studied in America; we thought he had an American mentality. But he turned from a democrat into an autocrat. He turned into an authoritarian."
With Monday's election, many felt the country was headed for a reckoning. Georgia has a history of chaotic power struggles — the first and second post-Soviet presidents left office before the end of their terms to avoid deepening civil unrest — and Mr. Ivanishvili's supporters have warned that they will take to the streets rather than accept vote counts that they consider fraudulent.
Both sides had grounds to declare victory, but big questions loom. Venomous attacks have marked the campaign, and it is hard to imagine the two leaders collaborating for the remaining year that remains of Mr. Saakashvili's presidency.
The breakdown of parliamentary seats will be disputed. Even without a popular majority, Mr. Saakashvili's governing party may still command more than half of the 150 seats in Parliament because under Georgia's complex election rules, 73 are single-mandate, meaning they go to individual candidates who receive the most votes. A party with 76 or more seats will have a chance to elect a prime minister.
But more conclusive final results will not be in until Tuesday, and the outcome remains in doubt. Early Tuesday, Mr. Ivanishvili declared that according to his exit polls, his party had won 100 seats.
But a leader of the governing party, David Darchiashvili, said his side had at least two-thirds, adding that, "I am confident this majority will be enough to elect our own prime minister."
One of the major differences between Mr. Ivanishvili and Mr. Saakashvili is on Russia; Mr. Ivanishvili has criticized the president for his open hostility toward Russia and suggested that if he takes power, he will take a more conciliatory line and Russian markets will reopen to Georgian produce, wine and mineral water, providing an economic lift. Meanwhile, Mr. Saakashvili has accused his opponent of being a front for the Kremlin.
There was palpable tension on Monday in the village of Karaleti, where identical concrete houses hold hundreds of families displaced from their land by the 2008 war with Russia.
When activists from Mr. Ivanishvili's party visited over the summer, they were hounded out of town by residents shouting and waving sticks. Dato Chulkhadze, 38, lounged with a group of brawny men in T-shirts opposite Karaleti's polling station on Monday, recalling the episode with satisfaction.
"People started to shout, 'You are Russian, you are Russian,' and they had no answer — even a small child knows they are on Russia's side," said Mr. Chulkhadze. Asked about Mr. Ivanishvili's changes, he said, "I pray to God nothing like this will happen. If it happens, the Russians will return."
But several residents approached a reporter quietly to say that support for Mr. Ivanishvili was higher than it appeared, except people were afraid to say so publicly. One woman, who would not give her name, said she was voting for Mr. Ivanishvili because "we should not be afraid when we talk."
The vote is under extreme scrutiny, and many are waiting for Tuesday's assessments from 1,400 international observers. In this opposition stronghold, some voters were so alert for fraud that they brought their own pens to make sure they were not given invisible ink. Lawrence Sheets, a South Caucasus specialist with the International Crisis Group, said he was tired but relieved that Monday had passed in relative calm.
"Everyone's been very tired — it's been a year of this rhetoric and poisonous stuff — but in the end if it doesn't end in something really unstable, which we feared, it's a positive step for the country," he said. "What other post-Soviet country has had this kind of process?"
Because of an editing error, an article on Tuesday about the results of exit polls in Georgia's hotly contested parliamentary race erroneously attributed a comment about the polls in some editions. It was Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili — not David Darchiashvili, a leader of Mr. Saakashvili's governing party — who said in a television appearance Monday night as exit polls showed Mr. Saakashvili's party leading in more rural parts of Georgia and his challenger's party prevailing in the capital city of Tbilisi: "It doesn't mean that we are dividing the country into Tbilisi and provinces. We are all Georgians, we are all citizens of our country. We should all stand together and we should all manage to work together in frames of existing democracy."

How to Make a No Sew Fleece Blanket
These blankets are not your average "tie the ends" fleece blanket. My friend showed me how to do these and I think they look so much nicer than the knotted kind.
Want to make your own no sew fleece blanket?You will need:
two pieces of fleece of equal size {I used 1 1/2 yards each}
rotary cutter and mat {or scissors and a seam ripper}
Stack your two pieces of fabric on top of each other so that you cut them the same.
Then cut out a four inch square out of each corner.
Cut the edge into 4 inch strips 1 1/2 inches apart. Then make a one inch cut in the center at the top end of each strip. Continue all the way around the blanket.
Now to connect the blankets to each other.
Step 1 - Take the top {yellow/pink} strip of fleece
Step 2 - Insert it into the hole in the bottom {green} strip of fleece
Step 3 - Pull it all the way through
Step 4 - Repeat above steps with the new top {green} strip of fleece
Repeat until your blanket is done.
Update 9-8-13: I just got a comment from a reader, Liz asked "will it work the same if I insert both strips into the hole at the same time?" I just went and tried it, and it totally works. This will save so much time.
When I made these for my older kids, I was worried that they wouldn't stay together. Three years and several washings they are still just fine.
For baby blankets, get one yard of each fabric then cut in half so that each is approx 30x36. You'll be able to get two blankets out of it. For teens or adults you will probably want to do two yards of each fabric.

I was so excited in my own way, but didn't want to make too many assumptions about how wonderful it would be. Would she have ketosis or milk fever? Would she be a good mom or reject her calf? Would the calf be strong, eager to eat, or be weak?
Jerseys are supposed to be at particular risk for milk fever. And I was hoping that we had balanced her nutrition properly for a healthy calf and mom and safe calving.
Well – it happened! And everything went generally well! Here's the story:
Joel and I sleepily got out of bed and started getting ready for church. We both had showers, and we started to get the kids ready. I mentioned I was getting a little too exhausted lately and needed to get more rest. I can tell when my body is at risk for sickness, and this was one of those times.
We had let Norway and Buttercup sleep in the shed for the past couple weeks. At around 7:20 am when everyone was ready for church, we started to hear a low moo. It wasn't angry, or in pain, or anything we had heard before. Just a short moan like moo. Norway was standing on the inside of the door and just looking at something. I quickly suggested that Buttercup may have had her calf, not really expecting it to have happened. Joel went out to check on them. At first, Joel's face looked normal and I figured nothing had happened, but then he turned and gave a thumbs up and the excitement hit.
I jumped off the porch into the winter pasture and went over. Norway was kicked out.
I freaked when Buttercup wasn't immediately turning around to get to the calf. When I say immediately, I mean .2 seconds. I may have been expecting a lot of her. I told Joel we had to get her to lick the baby, but she was already starting to get up and get to the baby. She definitely looked weak and stumbled to her feet, but the floor was soaked and slippery, and I guess she did just have a baby.
Of course, I had intended to pick up shavings the day before, but didn't, so with my nerves and freaking out about her weak legs being a sign of milk fever, I left Joel with instructions for molasses water and a calcium drench (for milk fever) if his judgment thought she was weak in any way. I went to the store. I called my cow friend to see if we could borrow some fresh hay and get her opinion on the morning's happenings. Yes… I couldn't find any hay either!! I had called three hay guys the day before and they were all out. The round bale had a few more days on it, but it was in a spot that Buttercup couldn't get to now that she had calved. Since I couldn't find hay locally, I had planned to buy square bales from the grain store on Monday for a crazy price and stock up until we could get more round bales this Saturday.
When the hardware store opened I was the second one in and paid for 4 bags of shavings. I drove the 4 minutes home and when I got back, 40 minutes had passed from when she calved. We cleaned out the shed and spread the fresh shavings. She was still giving the short moos so the calf would know her. She's generally such a quiet girl, it's been funny to watch her personality change.
The calf got on his feet as soon as the fresh shavings were down. He started wandering around and licking the walls of the shed. When Buttercup's efforts weren't paying off, we started nudging him in the right direction. It still wasn't sufficient because while Buttercup wasn't kicking us out, she had rather take care of the calf herself and as soon as the little guy got close to successfully latching on with our help, Buttercup would move a little. I'm thankful she wasn't violent or trying to push us away. Joel ended up holding Buttercup still and I helped the calf find the teats. After so many attempts on his own, he was tired and wanted to lie down. I ended up holding him up enough so that he could get a good drink, which he did! Finally, maybe 5-10 minutes of productive sucking.
We let him rest and hoped he would find the teats again when he was hungry in a little while. Joel and I took turns noticing when we thought it was time for the calf to be getting another drink… so we helped the calf get in the right spot. At about 2 hours, I figured he just didn't have an appetite for the milk because he had had a lot when we helped him – so we waited. He was jumping around, spunky and happy. His coat was shiny and lovely. I knew forcing him to eat could be like the nurses waking up your baby in the hospital and telling you you need to feed them more – obnoxious and unnecessary most of the time. But I allowed this to be the exception because we were nervous about his slow start and wanted to make sure he got enough colostrum. It is very important that the calf get colostrum within the first hour. Ideally, on his own. Since he hadn't proven that he had the ability to get milk on his own, I was nervous that even if he was starving, he wouldn't know how to find the teats.
|Shiny. So sweet.
Buttercup passed the placenta and turned right around to eat it. As disgusting as some of you might find this, it didn't bother me… and then it did. I'd say that happened about the time when she was mooing and it sounded like she was mooing under water. Her mouth was so full… Sorry guys. BUT. I was so happy she was eating it. The placenta has tons of vitamins and good stuff for the cow (that was scientific) and it showed a good instinct in Buttercup and assured me that she would have one more thing going for her. Cleaning up like this is also how the cow protects the calf from predators. This way there isn't any fresh blood smell to attract animals that could kill the calf.
I started to feel a bit more relieved and it started to just seem fun. Norway was acting fine over in his pasture and Buttercup was being good. We went inside, made lunch, and planned nap time. Joel went out to check on them and the calf was up and eating just fine on his own. We had chicken, spinach, and potatoes, cleaned up and went to bed. We were out cold for 20 minutes and then…
To be Continued.
Oh, yes I did. It's a long post. Rest assured, the continuation is not going to say the calf or Buttercup got ill or sick. They have remained perfectly healthy and a whole lot of fun. In fact, the continuation strays from being about Buttercup and the new calf - so I thought it fitting to give it it's own post. You'll have to wait to find out what woke us up and ruined our nap time… and had us working into the night.
|Goodbye for now!

'Dwarf-coat, elf-cloak, blade of the downfallen West, and spy from the little rat-land of the Shire.'(RK 5.x.889)
So spoke the Mouth of Sauron, with all the relish of fresh insolence, meaning to daunt and dispirit Aragorn, Gandalf and the rest, to toy with them, just as Sauron his master meant to do (RK 5.x.888). Every attentive reader knows precisely to what and to whom he is referring here: the coat of mithril mail, the grey travelling cloak of Lórien, the blade from the barrow, and Frodo whom we last saw captured by the enemy (TT 4.x.742). Every reader also grasps the immediate allusion in the words 'blade of the downfallen West' to the long dead successor kingdoms of Arnor, but that participle 'downfallen' is more pointed and far-reaching than it first appears.
At the time of the publication of The Lord of the Rings only a few would have understood it. Even now its reference to Númenor itself, whose king and people Sauron had enticed -- nor were they all unwilling to follow -- to their destruction, can easily slip past us:
And even the name of that land perished, and Men spoke thereafter not of Elenna, nor of Andor the Gift that was taken away, nor of Númenórë on the confines of the world; but the exiles on the shores of the sea, if they turned towards the West in the desire of their hearts, spoke of Mar-nu-Falmar that was whelmed in the waves, Akallabêth the Downfallen, Atalantë in the Eldarin tongue.
(Silmarillion 281)
No man of Gondor, no Dúnadan of the North, would have missed the point of this thrust, least of all Aragorn, its main target, who only moments earlier had received several more such barbs from the Mouth of Sauron:
'Is there anyone in this rout with the authority to treat with me?' he asked. 'Or indeed with the wit to understand me? Not thou at least!' he mocked, turning to Aragorn with scorn. 'It needs more to make a king than a piece of Elvish glass, or a rabble such as this. Why, any brigand of the hills can show as good a following.'(RK 5.x.888-89)
Given Aragorn's assertion of his kingship, his struggle with Sauron in the palantír (RK 5.ii.780), and Sauron's fear that he might have the Ring (5.ix.878-880), the heaped up insults, culminating in the reminder that Númenor, and its successor kingdoms, failed and fell, make perfect sense here. Even Gondor can field no more than a 'rout' and a 'rabble' more suited to a brigand than a king. But it was only Númenor that could defeat Sauron long ago, and Númenor lay downfallen beneath the waves.

PO Box 9361
Columbus, OH 43209
Phone: 614-285-7307
Mary Shields, Ph.D.
Known as a "practitioner's practitioner," Mary brings traits of warmth and joy to her work. She works with clients who have a wide variety of physical, emotional, and spiritual concerns.
Mary brings a unique background to her practice, that of education, music, and religion. She received her A.B. from Westminster College in PA, her M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and her Ph.D. from Emory University. Previously a professor of Hebrew Bible/TaNaK, she combines a love of her academic field with a love of BodyTalk, seeing many connections between them.
After becoming a Reiki Master/Teacher, Mary began moving into healing practice. When her six-year healing odyssey from fibromyalgia ended with three BodyTalk sessions, and she took the first two modules of BodyTalk, she became convinced that BodyTalk is the most comprehensive, direct, effective, and noninvasive way to address the whole person, body, mind, emotion, spirit. She has completed the PaRama courses, currently the most advanced courses in BodyTalk, and holds the highest certification, that of Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner. She coordinates for BodyTalk and related modules in the Columbus area, is certified as a BodyTalk Access Trainer, and an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Instructor. In addition, since taking the BodyTalk for Animals course, she has been working with animals regularly. She is also participating in the Instructor ce service, and is able to offer continuing education hours for all of the courses she teaches.
As an instructor, Mary brings more than 20 years of teaching experience to her BodyTalk classes. Students remark on her clarity of presentation, her ability to make even tough concepts easy to understand, and the amount of practical, hands-on experience they get. Consistent comments include: "Her enthusiasm for BodyTalk is contagious;" and "She makes learning fun." One student writes, "Mary's teaching style is thorough, concise, patient, relaxed, and most importantly, fun! She makes sure you leave the course not only understanding the underlying concepts and theory, but retaining all the information as well. Thanks to her, I was a certified practitioner within 6 months of first taking modules 1 and 2. Mary is by far one of the best teachers I have come across." P. Jurko, CBP, Dublin, OH,
Clients tell her that they experience their appointments as sacred time and space where they can begin/continue their healing process at all levels. The majority of her practice is distance work, including clients who move from her area, who continue to work with her through distance sessions. She writes, "It is a privilege to be able to observe deep shifts in overall health, wellness, and balance in my clients."
Mary welcomes your call with questions regarding BodyTalk and upcoming seminars, to schedule an Access class, BodyTalk Fundamentals course (formerly modules 1 and 2), BodyTalk: Fundamental Integration course (formerly modules 1 and 2 Advanced Practical), BodyTalk: Principles of Consciousness (formerly module 3), or to schedule a BodyTalk session.

Chris Messina@chrismessina · Product designer & entrepreneur
Very exciting launch! Love the look of this — and it's useful too! :)
@chrismessina Thank you, Chris! This is exactly what we wanted people to see =)
Hello, everyone! Thank you for choosing our project and featuring us on Product Hunt, Jeffrey! We'd like to show you our new movie discovery project. Hubbos brings to its users an overview of the movie world. The website is created for those who appreciate clean, elegant design and comfortable, easy-to-understand interface. What you can see at the moment on our site is the presentation of just a small number of the ideas for our project. Our goal is to collect as much feedback as possible and to test our project taking our first steps. We would highly appreciate any suggestions or questions from you. We hope everyone will enjoy Hubbos as much as we do!
@dashatraveller Awesome stuff Daria! Love it. I almost built a site just like this but now I don't need too. 😄 I'm curious: What does the name mean? Mine was called "CinemaList" and I loved the name but never got around to building it. Anyway, you guys totally nailed it! One cool thing would be to add an icon when tapping Add to Home Screen. A native app would be awesome too of course. Keep it up!
@imakestrides Oh, thanx a bunch, Kyle! I have to admit that CinemaList sounds unfairly convenient in comparison with Hubbos =))) Hubbos is supposed to mean the main hub for your favorite content, aka movies and TV-series) Great to have this piece of advice from you, will work on them before long! We will keep it up! =)
@dashatraveller No problem! Ahh, cool. Not sure if it'd be helpful at this point, but since I'm not going to use it and you have a cool minimalist design style that would fit nicely with the name, let me know if you'd like to use the name CinemaList in any way. If so, I'd be happy to give you the cinemalist.co domain name for free if it'd finally be put to good use. If not, no worries. Best of luck!
@imakestrides We are all here enormously grateful. This is a truly generous offer, we never had before) The only thing is that we already got awfully used to our Hubbos name and now we love it with all our hearts. I guess, we have to stick with it then. May all your kindness come back to you at least ten times as much, Kyle. Once again, thank you! =)
@dashatraveller No problem, I know it'd be a big change but I figured I'd ask in case. Thanks, same to you! :)
I love things like this, always needing things to watch.
@meld We are very pleased that you have found it useful for yourself! What do you like the most?
@meld Right?) I am all the time hunting and all the time wanna more and more =)
@chuhansergey I do like the to the point approach. As soon as the site loads, I see films. No sign up page, no guff, films. They're pretty well categorized too! Only thing I said would be great is a link to streaming sites :)
@meld We already have links to Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and Google Play, however, have some plans to increase the amount of supported streaming services in the future! ;)
Csaba Kissi@csaba_kissi · Serial maker
Nice design and great search capability 👍
@csaba_kissi A thousand thanks, Csaba! Is there something we can improve in your opinion?)

By Josie Whitehead
I'm a poor, lonely snowman alone on the slope
With not one crumb of comfort and no kind of hope.
The snow came so suddenly last Monday morning.
It caused many accidents for there'd been no warning.
Next day the sun shone. Children came out to play.
I was very soon built in much less than one day.
My battered old hat is too small for my head
And instead of a pipe there's a stick there instead.
See the scarf round my neck and my little black belt?
Oh, they've gone now; it's warmer. I'm starting to melt!
Now my head's almost gone and my friendly cold smile
And you'll very soon find all my clothes in a pile.
My time in this world was so short but so happy.
The children all said: 'What a nice little chappie.'
Goodbye to your world. I've enjoyed my time here,
But now all that is left is just one little tear.
Copyright on all my poems
This is one of almost 400 poems chosen by the teachers and children in many different schools across West Yorkshire in 2010 for publication. I hope you like it.
