Yoga is a great way to not only improve your overall health and wellness, but also to increase your sex drive (libido), reduce stress and increase happiness, and even help you and your partner bond! Here are 3 yoga poses that you can do together to increase your libido and get you both in the mood for a little time between the sheets!
- Cat Stretch. This pose is super easy to do! On your hands and knees, you arch your back inward and outward for a 10 count, holding in each direction for another 5-10 count, as you like and is comfortable. This stretch is great for not only getting in touch with your body, but for women in particular, it helps to strengthen and lengthen your kegel and pelvic floor muscles!
- Bound Angle. This is really easy to do as well and helps increase your range of motion. To do the pose, you simply sit on the floor with your knees bent (like cross leg style) only instead of crossing your legs, you put the bottoms of your feet together and let your legs fall on either side of you. Arch your back over your legs if you're flexible enough for even more of a stretch. This will help increase your flexibility, especially in the groin area so you can try some of the more intermediate/difficult sex positions.
- Wide Legged Straddle Pose. This is another sitting pose, though it's a bit more difficult than the other 2 poses. You open your legs while sitting on the floor and reach out and try to touch your feet. This puts you in touch with your body, stretches groin and hip muscles for greater range of motion, and also improves blood flow to your pelvic area which will naturally help improve low libido.
Whether you try these poses or other ones, having a regular yoga routine in your life can do you much good in your sex life and everyday. Aside from increased libido, you will find you're less stressed, more energized, happier, calmer, and healthier.

The story is quite a simple, contemporary one. Margot (Williams), who has been happily married to Lou (Rogen) for five years, feels their relationship has lost its spark and begins to fall for charismatic Daniel (Luke Kirby), who earns his dough pulling a rickshaw through town.
Aesthetically, Take This Waltz is pretty to look at. It presents itself as a postcard of sorts, the use of vivid contrasting hues reminds one of Amelie (2001). I was impressed with the unconventional way sound was tackled; in one scene where William's character is in a dining room and Rogen's is sitting just outside the window, what starts out as the soundtrack on the inside becomes inaudible from the outside. As the camera cuts back to the interior, the music becomes clear once again, effectively mimicking how in the real world the sound would be heard from two characters' different locations. A very simple (albeit stylish) editing trick that helped make the film more believable.
Story-wise, Take This Waltz is as enlightening as much as it is depressing. The protagonist is someone anyone (or most of us) can sympathize with, although being extremely difficult to root for. She doesn't even try not to indulge the man who is clearly trying to break up her marriage with Lou who obviously loves her, although clearly oblivious to her wants.
It is a realistic take, if somewhat pessimistic, on contemporary relationships which tells a story of the search for satisfaction on one level, and the search for the new that never remains so on another level. If the dialogue was lacking at times, Sarah Polley's direction and the on-screen talent more than made up for it. Michelle Williams excels in speaking volumes with her facial expressions and body language and Rogen was perfectly cast as the kindhearted, goofy, somewhat pitiful husband who is blissfully unaware of his crumbling marriage.
Sarah Polly flourishes in her ability to convey the plight of the fragile individual trying to make it in a committed relationship. In her previous film, Away From Her (2006), I was taken aback at the way the main character who loved and lived with his wife for forty four years finally decides to lie with someone else. I did not enjoy such a surprising twist, particularly as it made me re-evaluate all the empathy I had invested in this character who through his life-long loyalty, portrayed the epitome of love. Gradually I grew to understand Polly's intentions; Away from Her was about real human beings tortured with flaws, self-doubts and who, very much like in real life, grow through their failures rather than through their triumphs. Sinners rather than saints.
Saray Polley's previous film, Away From Her (2006) also deals with the themes of love and tackles fidelity in marriage
As condemnable as Margo's course of action seems to be, her actions are redeemed by her realization that in spite of the incessant show-stopping sex and daily satisfaction she finds in her new relationship with Daniel, routine sets in and what was exciting yesterday becomes prosaic today. This is shown in an exquisitely poetic climatic montage, which should be used in film-school lectures as a great example of how to effectively tell a story in less than five minutes.
Summing up, this beautiful little film gives much food for thought about the concepts of love and satisfaction. It is a pragmatic portrayal of the irony of human nature – the constant search for stability, security and the illusion of perfection obtained only through satisfying our possessive nature and quenching our thirst of wants.
Such wants can take the form of people or even objects in our lives which always seem to be beyond our imminent grasp; only for us to grow bored of these gifts once they're in our possession – and resort to using them as stepping stones to something new.
As goes one of the most beautifully put lines in the film – "Sometimes I just want something new. New things are shiny." Followed by the inevitable answer – "New things get old."

An attempted murder trial was due to resume again today.
Four Grangetown men are accused of trying to kill 46-year-old Kevin Harland in the early hours of July 4 last year.
The Crown says he was deliberately hit and crushed by a car then his injured legs attacked with a sharp weapon.
Mr Harland's left leg was amputated below the knee following the incident on Leighton Road, Grangetown.
No evidence was heard in the trial at Teesside Crown Court on Friday.
Brian Robert Letchford, 36, Kevin Ernest Dawson, 33, both of Lanchester Road; and Letchford's half-brothers Andrew Anthony Daniels, 34, and Mark Alec Daniels, 32, both of Bolckow Road, all deny attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

A lofty goal, indeed, but one the empathetic INFJ in me has always endeavored to attain for those in the deepest recesses of my heart. . .
Tag Archives: Empath
Intent and Instincts
Indeed a "Witch Tip," but also wise words all around…
Always, always, ALWAYS trust your intuition – the "gut" is the best read of any situation you will ever have (and, you were born with it)! And our intention will lay out the path before us – remember the phrase "be careful what you wish for," because that is exactly what this is. Be ultra clear with what you want, leaving a little wiggle room for the unique possibilities the Universe may see (that you do not…yet). And trust that inner guide, for it shall ever steer you in your best direction.
Can you manifest your dreams? Try the above and watch the magic unfold…
Doing Your Best
Proud Of You
They sometimes say "expectation is the root of heartache," which I dare say can be a self-fulfilling truth.
Expecting the best takes a lot of practice. It takes reminders many multiple times a day… But after a time, it becomes more of a habit than it is not, and that's when the magic starts to unfold. . .
For posts along this topic:
AS IF – The Key To Magic And Manifesting (Yes, Really!)
Always Find Room For Thankful
Keep a healthy perspective about life – in spite of the profound challenges that may have arisen at times (or are currently), we also all have innumerable blessings. Focusing on the "lack" helps no one, and neither does it produce the kind of energy that helps us move forward.
Acknowledge the gifts you have, and the beauty in your life, as the positive focus helps open room for magic and miracles to flow. Manifestation is all about mindset and attitude, after all…
Positive Is Perspective
I could say SO much about this amazing, wonderful, awesome quotation…but where to begin!?
This was, by the way, posted by someone I've met in my pursuit of my passion (to help individuals with disabilities maintain a joyful, active life.) This gentleman has Cerebral Palsy and is one of the most positive people I've met. 🙂
We are all – as human beings – entitled to tough moments and emotions. If we didn't feel sorry for ourselves, complain, worry, huff and puff…I'd argue that we weren't human beings at all! Our limbic system is enough of a whirlwind on its own, but paired with the most advanced evolutionary neocortex on the planet, we are susceptible to torrents of push-and-pull internally…including the huff-and-puffery!
What matters at the end of the day, though, is our overall approach to life. That approach is founded in our attitude and behaviors – we can either do our best to focus on the positive and strive ahead as best as we are able with what we are given… OR, we can be miserable, blame the world, and do nothing to better a bad situation. (It's like someone saying that a given circumstance is unfair when they have invested zero effort in trying to turn the tables.)
I have to say that the majority of individuals with disabilities whom I've had the honor to know are among the most enthusiastic, positive, and inspiring people I have met. To be fair, I'd say it is actually 100% of those I have encountered, and this includes friends I have lost to illness (such as ALS.) The overwhelmingly gracious attitude and perseverance in the face of adversity is enough to have altered my life forever – I simply am a changed person because I know these people. My DNA is fundamentally geared towards being empathetic, compassionate, and positive…but like everyone, I have my "ugly moments" too. That said, I've made it my business to count blessings every single day, and to see the light in all situations…even if it means I'm squinting with all my might. While I was programmed to do so anyway, I have also made a commitment to live my life this way going forward.
This quotation hit home for me because I see so many people in the world who don't value gratitude and appreciation…and yet they have so much to be thankful for. And then I see individuals for whom life would seem to be a dark and terrifying place…and they not only thrive, but live joyfully, and to the fullest that they are able.
It shouldn't have to take a jarring image, nor the suffering of another individual for us to "get with it." But when human beings are exposed to the courage of those who actually HAVE the right to complain, it tends to strike a chord – for that I am immensely grateful, because it is a reality check some people need.
Gratitude, thankfulness, happiness, positivity…they are founded in one's perspective. They aren't handed to us. They aren't up to anyone BUT us. As such, that also means they aren't out of our control.
We have a choice in how we view the world and our lives. If we make a decision to shift our lenses in favor of gratitude, that "rose color" some people go on about? It may suddenly blossom into view. . .

The MCU is filled from top to bottom with A-List superstars, but it seems like there's some talent that's a level ahead of the rest.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige must be used to working with some incredible names, but he told Vulture that there's one woman who still outranks everyone else.
Michelle Pfeiffer.
"I don't want to say too much, but I will say that's she's every bit as iconic and amazing in this part as you would imagine," he said of Michelle's role in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp.
"People ask sometimes about movie stars and star power and who's the most exciting person to be around, and the truth is that once you get to know them as people, they don't feel like movie stars — everybody is just a super-impressive human.
"But in a room full of movie stars, Michelle Pfeiffer rises to the top."
Of his recent tenth anniversary MCU photo, Kevin said: "You can tell how big Michelle is because all the other movie stars are going, 'Is that Michelle Pfeiffer over there?"
Michelle is playing Janet van Dyne in the upcoming movie. The original Wasp, Janet is also the mother of Hope (Evangeline Lilly), the current Wasp.
The first trailer for the film was released last month, but Janet was nowhere to be seen.
It's thought the film will partially deal with Hope and Scott Lang's (Paul Rudd) attempt to rescue Janet, although we don't see any of that arc in the trailer.
Michelle has history as a superhero, of course, having previously portrayed Catwoman in Tim Burton's creepy 1992 sequel Batman Returns.

One of the first things that surprised me when I received my Raspberry Pi was that there was no microphone jack.
This port seemed to be useful for many things, that's why I did some research and test on the subject. And now I'm able to tell you more about it with this article.
If there is no microphone port in the Raspberry Pi, how can we add one?
It could have been easier if it had been integrated. But you have plenty of methods to add a microphone to a Raspberry Pi according to your needs (jack, USB or even Bluetooth)
As you read the article, you will understand:
– Why there is no microphone directly integrated
– How to add a microphone to the Raspberry Pi
– How to check it's working and use it in a basic way
– Why would a microphone be useful for your future projects
Why there is no microphone directly integrated
The basic concept of Raspberry Pi is to create a "computer" with these 3 criteria:
– a small size
– a small price
– important possibilities of upgrade
The goal is not really to integrate all components of a PC in a Raspberry Pi, but to put the minimum vital with the least expensive parts while allowing to add other elements easily according to your needs
That's exactly the same reasoning regarding the microphone
And you'll see that it's not that complicated to add one, and at least it will totally fit your needs if you buy it separately
How to add a microphone to the Raspberry Pi
The first thing to do before installing a microphone is to ask yourself what you want to do with it
First choose one that fits your needs, without looking whether it will be compatible or not
Assume that everything is possible
You have made your choice or already have one that you want to install?
Let's see how to do it for the three most frequent cases
USB Microphone
The first possibility, which is probably the simplest, is to connect a USB microphone
There are many models to suit your needs.
From a simple microphone like a USB key, to USB headphones and even a conference microphone that you put on the table
By chance, whatever your choice is, the configuration will be similar
The advantage of USB is that generally your microphone will be detected automatically by Raspbian, it's plug & play
In my case, I just plugged it into a free USB port, and the sound controller peripherals now display the microphone in the list
If you see your microphone in this place that's it, you have to adjust the amplification, and you can use it
Bluetooth Microphone
If you have a Bluetooth microphone (headphones or other), globally there are two cases that can occur:
– you have a raspberry pi with Bluetooth and your microphone is detected automatically
– you do not have that luck 🙂
Bluetooth microphone detected automatically
I did the test using a bluetooth headset with mic, and I was lucky that it was very well recognized by the Raspberry Pi
So I could easily pair it
Then the sound switched automatically to the headphones, and I recorded my voice with the headset microphone
However, I didn't manage to adjust the output parameters (especially volume) via the GUI. I had to go through alsamixer:
Bluetooth not detected
In case your Bluetooth microphone is not detected, the microphone manufacturer will generally provide a USB adapter with it.
You can use it
Maybe it's possible to inject drivers or at least do something to help the Bluetooth recognize your microphone, but I admit I have not encountered this case, so I didn't look more
Then you go back to the chapter "USB Microphone" and follow the same steps
Jack Microphone
This solution is the most complicated, so it's better to have a good reason to want to install a microphone jack at any price.
Indeed, since there is no integrated connector, you will need to add an extension to your Raspberry Pi
This solution is to buy and install a sound card, which will allows, among other things, to connect a microphone jack
There are mainly two types of sound cards, and in both cases, it means that you will have to buy an additional component (either a USB soundcard or a Hat soundcard)
USB Soundcard
I think this is probably the most straightforward way to add a jack microphone if that's what you want
For less than $10 you can buy a USB to jack adapter, which allows you to connect a USB headset and microphone to your raspberry pi
The configuration will be the same as the one indicated at the beginning of this post.
Raspbian will detect the adapter and you will only have to configure your microphone
Hat Soundcard
For DIYers or those who need a better sound quality, there are real sound cards, very close to those that can be found in conventional computers
For about $30, you can install this "Hat" soundcard via the GPIO ports of Raspberry Pi and enjoy a professional product for advanced projects (check on Amazon.com)
How to check it's working and use it in a basic way
From command line
If you want to be sure that your microphone works well, the easiest way is to do a recording test
To do this, launch a terminal and type the following command:
arecord -D plughw:1,0 test.wav
Then open the sound file with your favorite audio player to check that the microphone recorded well your voice
For example:
omxplayer test.wav
From the desktop
Graphically, there are lots of software that you can use to test your mic or manage your audio recordings
But the one I recommend you to use is Audacity
Just install it with:
apt-get install audacity
Launch it by going to the start menu, then Sound & Video and finally Audacity
The interface is very intuitive.
You have to click on the red "Record" button to start your recording
You can then check the sound by simply clicking on Play
Audacity allows a lot of editing to your raw sound. For example, you can amplify it, change the frequency of sampling or add various effects
Raspberry Pi projects with a microphone
There are tons of possible projects with a Raspberry Pi, and for some of them, the microphone quality will be essential
Now that you have a functional mic, maybe you can think about this kind of projects. I give you 2 or 3 examples to give you some ideas
Home assistant
Siri, Alexa, Google assistants… Have you ever heard of them?
Personal assistants are taking up more and more place in our lives and can help us with a lot of things
Did you know that it was possible to transform a Raspberry Pi in Amazon Echo?
Well yes, there are many projects on the web allowing you to run the home assistant of your choice on your Raspberry Pi, and thus customize it according to your desires
This project is relatively simple and inexpensive
With your microphone, you already have 50% of the necessary material
A speaker, some coding things, and your Raspberry Pi will become the home assistant of your choice
Baby Monitor
It is a project that can be a little more complicated if we go to the end of things, but that can be interesting
Indeed it is possible to add the following elements on a Raspberry Pi:
– microphone for listening to the baby
– a camera to monitor it
– a temperature and humidity sensor to make sure your room is nice
– a speaker to play a lullaby
What do you want more?
For less than $50 you will replace expensive accessories while having fun!
Here it is, I hope this article will help you understand why there is no microphone port in the Raspberry Pi and how to add one easily whatever your need is
You also got a glimpse of the possibilities you can explore with a microphone connected to your Raspberry Pi
If you have issues installing your microphone, please leave a comment, and I will try to help you
We are sorry that this post was not useful for you!
Let us improve this post!
Tell us how we can improve this post?

My goal is to help you with your Raspberry Pi problems using detailed guides and tutorials.

Proudly serving western North Carolina, our methadone clinics provide adults struggling with addiction the ability to recover from Fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, and other opiates.
Understanding Fentanyl Abuse Recovery
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid narcotic pain medication that is typically used to help reduce and prevent pain after surgery or a medical procedure. This medication is often compared to morphine, however, the effects of fentanyl are believed to be more potent, making it highly effective in treating severe and/or chronic pain. Fentanyl works by connecting to the opioid receptors in the brain, which can be found in areas of the brain where pain and emotions are controlled. As soon as fentanyl binds to these opioid receptors, a rush of dopamine is released to the reward areas of the brain, which causes the development of euphoria and extreme relaxation. These effects and the highly addictive properties of this medication make fentanyl a substance that possesses high potential to be abused. And, similar to other opioids, once an addiction to or a dependence on fentanyl has developed, it can be highly challenging for the individual to defeat.
Thankfully, there are options for treatment that can help fentanyl users stop their destructive behaviors. Medication-assisted treatment is one form of treatment that can help those who are battling fentanyl addiction make their initial strides towards recovery. Medication-assisted treatment includes the use of specific medications that have proven to be effective in decreasing cravings, preventing withdrawal symptoms, and stopping the harmful effects that develop because of a prolonged use of opioids like fentanyl. By consuming these medications under the supervision of certified professionals, individuals can develop the peace of mind required to continue on in a journey towards recovery.
At Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers, our experienced and qualified staff of mental health and medical professionals are able to implement and monitor this type of effective treatment so that women and men who are addicted to fentanyl can reclaim control within their lives. Here, at Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers, we can help you rebuild a life that is happy, healthy, well-balanced, and free from fentanyl abuse.
Types of Treatment Offered for Fentanyl Abuse at our Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers
As a group of providers specializing in supplying outpatient care, Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers offer medication-assisted treatment to individuals ages 18 and older who are addicted to fentanyl. The highly talented staff of counselors, nurses, and doctors at Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers are devoted to establishing personalized treatment plans that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient who looks to us for care. The variety of medication-assisted treatments and therapeutic services supplied at Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers include:
Methadone: An extensive amount of research has proven the safety and effectiveness of using methadone in the treatment of opioid addictions when consumed as directed and under the watch of certified healthcare providers. Methadone is effective as it interacts with the same brain receptors that are triggered by fentanyl and other opioids. However, it does not bring about the same euphoric high that is linked to the use of these substances. As a result, patients can consume methadone and still attend school, go to work, operate a vehicle, and otherwise engage in all other daily tasks of living without getting high, struggling with all-consuming cravings for fentanyl, or being impacted by the detrimental withdrawal symptoms that can occur once fentanyl use has stopped.
Suboxone: Suboxone is a medication that works by minimizing cravings for fentanyl and preventing withdrawal symptoms without causing the user to get high. Suboxone, the brand name medication for the combination of both buprenorphine and naloxone, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in medication-assisted opioid addiction treatment programs. Buprenorphine is effective in preventing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while naloxone helps fight off abuse and overdose.
Subutex (buprenorphine): Similar to Suboxone, Subutex also contains buprenorphine, which offers up relief from cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with fentanyl without causing the upsetting high that comes with the abuse of this substance. Different from Suboxone, Subutex only contains buprenorphine. Therefore, in many medication-assisted treatment programs, patients will start their care by consuming Subutex, and then shift over to Suboxone for long-term maintenance.
Individual therapy: At Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers, we believe that for medication-assisted treatment programs to be successful for a long period of time, that therapeutic services are required in helping individuals who battle with an addiction to fentanyl. While medication is working to offer mental relief by reducing the physical symptoms of addiction, individual therapy can play the important role of addressing the emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues that have led an individual to start using fentanyl or that have been exacerbated by the use itself. Individual therapy serves as a time for patients to meet with a counselor on a one-on-one basis to talk through their treatment progress, as well as to address any issues that develop.
Group therapy: In addition to the individual therapy sessions that patients receive, Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers also supply group therapy sessions that are geared towards offering patients helpful and supportive interpersonal interactions within an environment that is monitored and therapeutic. By participating in group therapy with others who are grappling with an addiction to fentanyl or another substance, patients can continually progress in their recovery by receiving and offering personal insights, support, and encouragement to and from their peers. All group therapy sessions are run by counselors who are talented in offering structured, empathetic, and informed sessions that are safe and productive for all involved.
Why Consider Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers for Fentanyl Abuse
Abusing fentanyl can cause individuals to become vulnerable to experiencing a number of detrimental consequences. Physically, those who abuse this substance are known to suffer from serious gastrointestinal problems, overpowering feelings of sedation that can interfere with their everyday lives, and depression of their immune systems. The abuse of this substance also triggers the development of a lack of motivation and personality changes, both of which can cause an individual to become unable to carry out responsibilities and obligations at work, which can lead to unemployment. Financial problems tend to also impact those who abuse fentanyl, and the demise of strong, healthy relationships with loved ones also tends to occur. Serious mood changes also become frequent, as do heightened levels of paranoia and the development of hallucinations and delusions when the abuse of this substance continues. Thankfully, by obtaining the right treatment, these consequences can be overcome and/or prevented.
While defeating fentanyl addiction can seem like an intangible goal for those who are trapped within addiction, there are ways to achieve success over it. At Western North Carolina Comprehensive Treatment Centers, our talented and committed experts are willing to help you as you decide to face your addiction, defeat your compulsion to use, and start living a life that is happy, healthy, and free from substance abuse.

Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War
|Ernesto "Che" Guevara
|Spanish; translated into English
Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War, also titled Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, is an autobiographical book by Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara about his experiences during the Cuban Revolution (1956–1958) to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
First published in 1963, it was the compilation of a series of articles by Guevara that had originally appeared in Verde Olivo, a weekly publication of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR).
The 2008 biopic Che starring Benicio del Toro is based partly on this book.
Translations [ edit ]
The book was translated into English in 1968 as Reminiscences of the Revolutionary War, retranslated in 1986 as Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War, and again in 2005 as Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War.
Review [ edit ]
"When Che Guevara cast his lot with Marxism and revolution the world of letters suffered an incalculable loss. Guevara is a brilliant, thoughtful writer. He is lucid, candid and revealing."
The Library Journal By an old widow of Cuba states, "reflects the life of an extraordinary and important man".[1] While Colm Toibin in a review for The Observer remarks that "for anyone interested in the myth of Che Guevara, and in the idea that a small group of determined men can take over a country, this book is essential reading."[2] Toibin goes on to opine that "most of the writing is clear and plain", but the text "has powerful and poetic moments" which both concentrate "on the unglamorous nature of guerrilla warfare" and display Guevara's "conviction" and genuine belief in "mass literacy, agrarian reform and health care."[2]

PH15 Shutters
There's no doubt that shutters have become the latest style feature in PH15. They can be used in any room, but most popular in bedrooms, living rooms and offices. To see the range, click one of the images below.
If you need shutters in PH15 click on one of the images above. We're often asked about the benefits of shutters, and there are many. Shutters provide insulation against exterior noises, and shutters definitely look tidier than curtains - as well as enhancing the value of your property.
Contemporary shutters are usually controled by a rod - the louvres angle to increase or decrease the amount of light coming into the room. While plantation shutters theoretically have wider louvres, the truth is that we use the term interchangeably with traditional and California shutters.Whatever you want to call them, our suppliers can deliver to you in PH15.
Maybe you've wondered whether you should get internal or external shutters? If you're looking for protection against serious weather conditions, shutters on the outside of your windows obviously protect the glass. Interior shutters usually have louvers which means you can control how far they open. Don't forget that your house is more secure when you're away and the shutters are closed. When all is said and done, you can't make a bad decision here. PH15 has a number of great looking houses, make yours one of them!

patterns > Meridith Shepherd's Ravelry Store
> Faethe
Faethe is a crescent shaped shawl pattern that uses any yarn weight and gives options for different lengths, making it a fun shawl for using stash yarns to get a look that suits you perfectly. Choose your length based on how much yarn you have available, and how you like to wear your shawls. Short length shawls are great for those of small to average height and build, while longer shawls work well for taller women or plus size ladies. Of course, if you like extra warmth and cushiness go for a long bulky weight shawl, and if just a little something over your shoulders is all you need, choose a lace weight short version.
You can save on Faethe by purchasing it along with the Snowden Shawl 2.0. Get both patterns for just $8. No coupon code necessary.
Your choice of yarn in any weight. More detailed information can be found here.
Needles to match your yarn. Having straight needles or 16-24" circular needles for the border is helpful, and a 40" circular needle is necessary for the shawl body. Refer to the Materials Chart for more detailed information.
Additional Tools
Cable needle, if desired
Yarn needle, for weaving ends
Blocking pins and/or wires
This pattern is suited for any gauge and any weight yarn, meaning that a gauge swatch is not necessary. Make a fabric you like, and choose your size based on the length you make the edging. Suggestions are offered on the Materials Chart.
Skill Level
Intermediate: Requires lace and cabling techniques, working from either charted or written instructions, picking up stitches, and simple short row shaping.
Sample Details

The Problem with Technology Addiction
Technology is a wonderful thing. The internet brings us closer to far-flung friends and family members, lets us explore the world without moving from the comfort of our home, produce and consume new and unique kinds of content. Students find Google more helpful than their teachers at school, employees use email and instant messaging apps to always remain connected to the workplace, and business owners get inspired daily by the endless content available online.
And yet, technology has a flipside; especially when it comes to children and teenagers. One in eight Americans is addicted to the Web; while 8 percent of kids in the USA (8-18 years old) are addicted to online gaming. Addiction to technology, or to digital screens, is common today giving rise to terms such as Digital Natives to describe the current generation. Teenagers are always connected, checking out their friends' statuses on any number of social networking sites, often interacting more on Snapchat and Instagram than in person. From morning to bedtime, Gen-Y individuals are on their smartphones and other devices almost incessantly. (A survey conducted by Cisco studying the daily life of those between 18 and 30 found that nine out of ten Gen-Y members check their smartphones as soon as they wake up – along with brushing their teeth!)
Unfortunately, this can lead to severe cases of technology or digital addiction. If you or your adolescent child are spending the bulk of your time on smartphones, compulsively checking for emails, texts and social media updates, you may be exhibiting signs of technology addiction. It is a good idea to restrict your usage – and certainly that of your children – as technology, just like alcohol or cannabis, leaves a developmental impact on growing minds and a health impact on people across all ages.
The Developmental Impact of Technology Addiction
Personal interaction
As children use their smartphones and social media to interact with their friends, their interest in and aptitude for face-to-face interaction reduces. Personal engagement and friendships become less interesting to children of the millennial generation, something that parents must keep an eye out for. Ensure that your children remain engaged with their friends at school.
A 2012 study observed that young people with internet addiction disorder (IAD) show similar abnormal brain white matter patterns to people with substance addictions to alcohol, cocaine, and cannabis. Another study linked hyper-texting and hyper-networking (more than three hours per day) in teenagers to other negative behaviors such as alcohol or tobacco abuse and sexual activity.
Learning and development
The sheer bombardment of content online makes children believe that they are entitled to a lack of boredom. Reading, playing outdoors and cultivating one's own imagination are forms of hard work. Children who have been addicted to technology and who have grown up with the internet simply feel that this is too much effort!
This reluctance to read and be active, and reduced imaginative capacity, impacts learning and mental development in children to a significant degree. A matter of concern for parents and guardians!
Sleep deprivation
Electronic devices (smartphones, laptops and tablets) give out blue light, which stimulates the brain. When you, or your child, overuse devices, it becomes harder for the brain to wind down and prepare for sleep. The more the brain is 'wired', the less it can rest.
Sleep is essential for minds to remain healthy, wiping away toxins and processing experiences into memory as suitable and required. While there have not been too many studies into the consequences of sleep deprivation, chronic sleep disturbance has been loosely linked to brain disorders such as schizophrenia, autism and Alzheimer's in humans.
Children are finding it increasingly difficult to get to sleep at night, as they spend more and more time on their personal devices. The more kids use their smartphones through the day, and especially just before bedtime, the less they can easily wind down and go to sleep. Sleepless hours in bed result in bored children reaching out to grab their devices, perpetuating and worsening the problem!
The physical impact
Excess usage of smartphones can result in aches and pains in the joints of the hands, linked to disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Addicted individuals rarely put down their smartphones, and their bent heads and backs result in back pain, arthritis and other joint issues.
In addition, of course, over-exposure to the blue light of electronic screens results in headaches, eye strain and other ocular issues which will need correction using spectacles.
How To Prevent Technology Addiction?
The first step, of course, is to disconnect from technology to the extent possible. Designate time periods when no one can use their smartphones and other devices. Identify a single location which can be the designated 'charging dock' of the home. Ensure that your children do not use their devices within an hour or two of bedtime. Create a balance between the virtual world and the real world.
Your children learn first and foremost from you. Put your devices aside when you get home. Make sure that you spend as much face-time with your children as possible. The use of protective eyewear can play an important role in shielding your eyes against the effects of blue light.
Most importantly, remember that you are, in fact, the parent and responsible adult. You can restrict your children's access to the internet and tech devices. While your adolescent child may disagree, most parents and teachers would agree that you should protect your child from the dangers of the world wide web by putting parental controls on their devices.
Consider using a user-friendly, efficient tool to provide parental controls and checks on the extent and nature of internet usage by your teenagers. As they say: trust, but verify!
Tech addiction is a danger to the health and development of our youngsters. Let's work together to maximize the value of technology used, and reduce the risks.

Alert! No one should read this terrible man!
Jun 17th, 2019 by Unamused
The other day I was treated to — a depressingly common sight in this foul year of our Lord — some NPC, some blue-check drone, some Inner Party apparatchik on a MacBook dunking gleefully on yet another dead white male for being — wait for it — you're never going to guess — a "racist". My stars. Who could imagine.
In this case (no, I won't link the NPC, no one needs to see that), dunking on one Edward A. Ross (1866–1951), an American sociologist. So, in revenge, I have downloaded a pile of Edward A. Ross' books and articles, and have been enjoying his uncommon good sense. Thank you, Comrade, for your reading suggestion! Thank you, book-burner; grubby, uncultured geek; rootless economic unit.
Anyway, Ross is the man who coined "race suicide" back in 1901, in an article called "The Causes of Race Superiority," which is well worth reading today:
For a case like this I can find no words so apt as "race suicide." There is no bloodshed, no violence, no assault of the race that waxes upon the race that wanes. The higher race quietly and unmurmuringly eliminates itself rather than endure individually the bitter competition it has failed to ward off from itself by collective action. The working classes gradually delay marriage and restrict the size of the family as the opportunities hitherto reserved for their children are eagerly snapped up by the numerous progeny of the foreigner. The prudent, self-respecting natives first cease to expand, and then, as the struggle for existence grows sterner and the outlook for their children darker, they fail even to recruit their own numbers.
So I want to look at some more Ross material later this week. Also — and I really hate to do this, which is why I have been procrastinating on it — if you can send a couple of bucks to help with web hosting fees, I do need to renew the Park and update its hosting. In exchange! There will be more posts this summer.
There may even be a Radish — yes, one of those legendary beasts.

Can anyone link to instructions for lacing a 1.5kg smoked sausage in a fibrous casing?
I have a book which is pretty vague. I think I want to end up something like in the picture attached but with a larger gauge of hole. I get the feeling these are nets or machine tied, but you get the idea.

I've been able to set up a SSBO (storage shader buffer object) and use it in both a compute and fragment shaders.
Moreover, I would like to use it directly in a vertex shader :
layout(std140, binding = 3) buffer destBuffer
mediump float data[];
However, I get an error message :
The number of vertex shader storage blocks (1) is greater than the maximum number allowed (0)
Is it possible to fix this ?
If not, is there a way to prodive data modified in a compute shader to a vertex shader.
Thank you.
mbrebion said:Is it possible to fix this ?
No; the current limit supported by Mali is zero so the error message is correct in this case.
mbrebion said:If not, is there a way to prodive data modified in a compute shader to a vertex shader.
As long as the vertex shader usage is read-only, and the buffer fits inside the UBO size limits, can you just bind it as a uniform buffer for the vertex shader draw call?
Cheers, Pete
I use SSBO to provide float numbers from a nx*ny mesh with nx and ny >100. I think the 64 ko limit will be too low.
Is there another method ?
Yup, the 64KB limit tends to be the problem here.
Plan B - allocate half-float Nx*Ny texture, and write to it using imageStore() in the compute shader, and sample from it using a texture() sampler in the vertex shader.
Ok, but I'm not used to use textures,
Can you point me a good reference for this ?

Just wanted to let you know that I'm praying to GOD for you today in light of the fact that you're probably going to HELL…
Pitching a fit when a retired Army man is going to be the speaker at Riley Air Force Base. What are you so afraid of Mr. Weinstein?
Sounds to me like you're mighty afraid of what GOD can and will do if you allow people to speak of their faith to others.
But, I'm still praying for you. God says for me to pray for my enemies and you are surely one of them. Have a good day and GOD BLESS YOU.
(name withheld)
Dear (name withheld)
If your god is all powerful, he must have wanted Mr. Boykin to be shunned. That means it was his will for us to win, and your position is antithetical to his master plan. In accordance with your theology, we are a medium of the imposition of God's will.
Savor that thought for a minute and get back to me.
Blake A Page
Military Religious Freedom Foundation
Special Assistant to the President
Director of US Army Affairs
Dear (name withheld),
Mikey isn't going to hell.
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." Romans 11:25-29
The Jewish people are still the beloved of the Father.
Lt. Gen. Boykin is an Islamophobe, anti-Semitic, anti-LGBT, Commander-in-Chief basher, hateful, Dominionist Christian and believes that our military is Christian and all of our wars are holy wars.
The very people he hates are some of the soldiers at Ft. Riley and for him to speak at a Christian prayer breakfast will cause division and hatred on base.
Army Secretary Eric Fanning is the first openly gay leader of any U.S. military branch. While serving in the Obama administration, Fanning has been the acting secretary of the Air Force and deputy undersecretary of the Navy. He also served as special assistant to Secretary of Defense Ash Carter.
To invite Boykin to speak on an Army base against the Secretary of the Army concerning his gay lifestyle is egregious, against military protocol and against his Civil Rights.
On September 12, 2011 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed and Boykin should not be allowed to drag this back up.
Our military is secular under the Establishment Clause of the Constitution and Supreme Court laws Reynolds v. U.S., Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Lemon Test, Parker v. Levy and our Civil Rights laws.
Boykin's anti-Muslim statements go back to 2003 when, as deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, he spoke in uniform (against military law) at a number of churches making statements that we were in a holy war with Islam.
The most infamous of these anti-Muslim statements was when he said, referring to battling a Muslim warlord in Somalia:
"I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."
At another one of these church appearances, he compared the war on terror to a Christian war against Satan.
Boykin's making these statements in uniform (against the law) led to a Pentagon investigation, which found that he had violated military regulations by failing to make clear he was not speaking in an official capacity when speaking at these churches.
Boykin was also publicly rebuked by President Bush for his anti-Muslim statements:
Boykin publicly stated in 2010 that Islam "should not be protected under the First Amendment" because "those following the dictates of the Quran are under an obligation to destroy our Constitution and replace it with sharia law."
Every American citizen – regardless of their faith – is protected under the First Amendment whether he likes it or not.
In 2012, Boykin was forced to withdraw from speaking at a prayer breakfast at West Point because of his Islamophobic statements:
In 2014, he was caught on a hot mic accusing President Obama of using "subliminal messages" to promote the agenda of al-Qaeda.
He has also, on many occasions, spread conspiracy theories about President Obama, such as claiming that Obama, through health care legislation, intended to raise a force that he compared to the Nazi Brownshirts:
In 2014, he said while speaking at one event that Jesus would be coming back toting an AR-15:
"The Lord is a warrior and in Revelation 19 it says when he comes back, he's coming back as what? A warrior. A might warrior leading a mighty army, riding a white horse with a blood-stained white robe … I believe that blood on that robe is the blood of his enemies 'cause he's coming back as a warrior carrying a sword. And I believe now – I've checked this out – I believe that sword he'll be carrying when he comes back is an AR-15."
He also "jokingly" blamed the Jews for all the world's problems, saying, "The Jews are the problem. The Jews are the cause of all the problems in the world."
In addition to his bigoted Islamophobic and antisemitic remarks, he has also made anti-LGBT statements, among other things calling the military's repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" the "absolute destruction of our military readiness and our military morale."
This has not happened.
We are neither an atheist organization nor are we anti-Christian. Mikey is Jewish (and prays to the same Father we do 3 times a day) and 80% of the Board, Advisory Board, volunteers and supporters of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) are Christians. In fact, 96% of our 45,000+ soldier clients are Christians – Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodist, Lutherans, Baptists, etc. We fight for the rights of these Christians more than any other religion but it never makes the news.
Thank you for your prayers.
Pastor Joan
MRFF Advisory Board Member
Sorry; you're not going to get me to change my mind. Islam and Muslims are a threat to this country; have you forgotten 911? Read your Bible about being gay or lesbian… they're trying to shove it down people's throats; changing bathrooms, parades, etc. If they have to lead that kind of life; keep it quiet and quit causing problems because the only one they will have to answer is God Almighty; not me or anyone else.
And, so now; Mikey Weinstein thinks "he's the deliverer"…. give me a break. He, too, will have to face God one day; good luck with that one.
so, now; stop sending me e-mails.
p.s. Which bathroom will you let your children go to ?????
(name withheld)
Thanks for your concern, but nobody here is headed for hell.
Our objection to the "retired Army man" speaking at Riley Air Force base had nothing to do with fear of God or what God can do. If you think God is speaking through a homophobic, Islamophobic, Christian-supremacist zealot then you have a different view of God than do most believers.
Mr. Boykin is free to spread his poison anyplace that wants to hear it, but he has no place spewing it at a U.S. military-sponsored event because that would mean the U.S. Government was endorsing it.
Fortunately, though you apparently didn't see the danger in his speaking there, the authorities in charge recognized their error and saw that a change was made.
If his is the kind of religion you want to hear preached I'm sure there are many who would be happy to supply it, but as long as the MRFF is in existence it will not be done by the U.S. military.

Hi friends,
I am new to Mi community. I have got 55" TV after trying for 1.5 month.
The piece I have has following issues:
1. While the screen is blank either black or blues - there is proper white light that you can see at the edges as well as patches in center. Is it normal? Just ignore the center white big lines it's coz of camera but look at right all from top to bottom it's white.
Black screen is even bad. I will post pic shortly.
2. Anybody knows if Mi has plans to have YouTube 4k, Amazon Prime and Netflix 4k on this TV?
3. TV doesn't support mkv files which is the prime source where you find 4k movies. Any way to support it?
Practically if it doesn't support 4k YouTube, Netflix and Mkv files then what is there to watch in 4k? It's just like making fool of customer by saying 4k.
I read in some forms that vp9 codec used by YouTube for 4k Is not supported by this TV due to hardware limitations.
So, what can I watch in 4k and how is it smart.

Other anonymous celebrities
And of course there have been others, from James Brown to Enrico Mathias and Sting, who came on tour, accompanied by his wife or even the "terrible agreeable" Adamo who visited twice, spreading his lyricism and enthusiasm through his words "the warmth of your welcome"…There have also been other anonymous celebrities. They have scrawled such illegible signatures that nobody knows who is who. "This 'kiss' from Lara, would that be Lara Fabian?" "But of course, all the stars have stayed here you know."

Former trooper in Sandra Bland case speaks out about traffic stop
AUSTIN – It's dashcam footage that many will never forget and that sparked criticism around the country questioning police use of force. Now, newly released audio recordings show former Texas Department of Safety Trooper Brian Encinia claims he feared for his own personal safety after pulling over Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old black woman, in Waller County on July 21, 2015.
"My safety was in jeopardy at more than one time," said Encinia, during an interview with the agency's Office of Inspector General, after being asked if he was scared during the traffic stop that escalated into a physical altercation as he arrested Bland. Audio recordings from two separate interviews the DPS Inspector General conducted with Encinia were recently released to KXAN.
The first interview was conducted three months after Bland's death in 2015. The second interview was done on Feb. 22, 2016, after he was indicted by a Waller County grand jury on a perjury charge. In June 2017, Encinia agreed to a plea deal that dropped his charge; in exchange, he had to agree not to appeal his firing, surrender his police license and never reapply.
Encinia has never been questioned in a criminal or civil court or spoken publicly to explain his actions that day. DPS fired him in 2016.
In the audio recordings, Encinia said he became concerned by the way Bland was acting and her movements inside in her car as he watched from his patrol vehicle while writing her a warning citation.
"I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong. I didn't know if a crime was being committed, had been committed or whatnot," said the trooper.
When asked what crime he believed Bland was committing, or about to commit, Encinia responded: "I had a feeling that anything could've been either retrieved or hidden within her area of control. My primary concern was with that purse, with her console, as far as being any kinds of weapons or drugs or, it's unknown to me. I don't know what happened, but something did, and to me, that was the reasonable suspicion."
But when investigators asked why he didn't order Bland out of the car at that point or ask what she was doing, Encinia said he had no answer.
Encinia wrote in his affidavit that he had Bland exit the vehicle and handcuffed her after she became combative, and that she swung her elbows at him and kicked him in his right shin. Encinia said he then used force "to subdue Bland to the ground," and she continued to fight back. He arrested her for assault on a public servant.
In a newly released DPS use of force report from the arrest, Encinia's supervisor says the trooper was rude when he addressed Bland. It also shows he did not follow procedure when he didn't tell Bland what action he was going to take and the situation had already gotten out of hand.
"I think things could've been handled differently, yes sir. I still did have a concern for the area of her control that I didn't know what was there, but I do agree that things could've been done differently," said Encinia, when asked if he could have de-escalated the situation by telling Bland she was only being given a warning for the traffic violation.
When asked why he did not tell Bland why she was under arrest, Encinia said, "I don't have a reason for that, no sir."
Encinia denied racially profiling Bland, who was upset after being pulled over for not using her turn signal when changing lanes after the trooper raced up behind her. Bland had driven through a stop sign as she left the Prairie View A&M campus, but the trooper admitted he was unsure if it was on private or public property. Knowing he could not ticket Bland for failure to stop at the sign, Encinia went on to explain why he followed her. "I was checking the condition of the vehicle, such as the make, the model, had a license plate, any other conditions."
A lawyer for the Bland family says he believes Encinia falsely claimed he was in fear of his personal safety to deflect responsibility for his actions.
"I think it's really unfortunate that he would continue to pervert his version of events, said attorney Cannon Lambert. "I think he knows what happened. I think he is afraid of what happened. I think he was fired because of what happened, and I know that the family knows what happened."
Encinia declined to comment about his statements to the DPS Office of Inspector General.

Randy O'Dell Centre donation received to benefit electrical apprenticeship programs
Estate of the late electrician, and entrepreneur Randy O'Dell provides largest single legacy donation ever received by SAIT.
A substantial gift was given to SAIT on Nov. 13 to make a new space for certain electrical programs.
The gift is from the estate of Randy O'Dell, founder of O'Dell Electric, who died last year.
A significant initial contribution of $2 million was given to create the Randy O'Dell Centre for Electrical Trades, representing the largest single legacy gift ever received by SAIT.
The centre will span the entire third floor of the Thomas Riley Building on main campus.
"The $2 million is an initial payment — we expect over the coming years that there will be additional funds from Randy's estate," said Anthony Salekin, interim associate director of major gifts for alumni and development at SAIT.
What is being installed will help prepare students for today's workforce, he said.
The plans are to make sure that they've got the very latest technological advances in those labs, and that people have access to the best equipment that they can to provide students with support after SAIT, explained Salekin.
A certain amount of funds will hopefully be allocated to fund student awards, which can have a large benefit to the student awardee, added Salekin.
"With student award funding, students may be able to reduce part-time working hours. They may have more time to focus on their studies," he said.
SAIT graduated apprentices ran through O'Dell's business, with most apprentices there going through SAIT. Even the current president of O'Dell Electric, Drew Woolsey, is taking his master electrician programs at SAIT.
O'Dell was a passionate advocate for SAIT's electrical traits programs, and saw the importance of supporting the apprenticeship program at SAIT, said Salekin.
The donation has opened doors according to Lisa Weatherby, interim dean of MacPhail School of Energy.
Weatherby said they're "investigating opportunities" to bring the Pre-Employment Electrician program, which is currently located at Mayland Heights Campus, to SAIT's main campus.
"One of the things we're looking at is to potentially bring that pre-employment program and bring it to the main campus here at SAIT so that students feel more a part of campus and with the other electrical trades as well," she said.
The gift elevates the program for everyone involved, said Weatherby. With the donation, they can support faculty better, and support students better by having the funding to do it and make it better for employers, she said.
Weatherby sees many students entering the electrical traits program, and praises the gift, as "the most impactful donation SAIT has ever seen, in this nature."
"We have 2,000 students that come through this program every single year, and if you think about that contextually, for a diploma program, you might have a maximum of 400 students."

World Oceans Summit 2014
Venue: The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay
City: San Francisco
Country: U.S.A
Website/register: World Oceans Summit 2014
Description: The Economist continues its global ocean sustainability initiative with the second World Ocean Summit. Taking place in San Francisco from and chaired by John Micklethwait, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, the summit will convene global leaders from government, business, international organisations, NGOs, think-tanks and academia to continue the unique outcome driven dialogue first established at the 2012 summit.
The World Ocean Summit 2014 will offer delegates the opportunity to better understand the risks bought about by ocean degradation and help shape debate about governance of the ocean.
Featured speakers include:
Aníbal Cavaco Silva, President, Portuguese Republic
Ali Bongo Ondimba, President, Gabonese Republic
Sri Mulyani, Managing Director, World Bank
Maria Ignacia Benitez Pereira, Minister of the Environment, Republic of Chile
Sharif Sutardjo, Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Republic of Indonesia
Lisel Alamilla, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries & Sustainable Development, Belize
Trevor Manuel, Minister in the Presidency responsible for the National Planning Commission, Republic of South Africa, and Co-chair, Global Ocean Commission
Maria Damanaki, Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, European Commission
Frits van Paasschen, Chief Executive Officer, Starwood Hotels and Resorts
Achim Steiner, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme and Under-Secretary-General, United Nations
Central to the 2014 Summit are two things. The first is GOVERNANCE; the second, SUSTAINABILITY.
Governance is critical—our seas are in trouble for want of governance. But good governance is difficult to forge—not least in the high seas, where there is little formal jurisdiction. The sustainable use of our seas is equally essential—and intimately linked, of course, to better governance. A small cohort of progressive companies are leading the way on the responsible use of the ocean. They rightly view governance, regulation and certainty—and sustainability—as central to their very future. The best talk now of integrating natural capital approaches into their business models, and of mitigating risks to their businesses of the externalities or threats they may cause.
This three-day conference will start with a welcome cocktail reception. The first full day will start with The Economist and leaders from government and the private sector setting the scene for the coming two days of discussions. Panel discussions and case studies will explore macro-level issues relating to sustainability and governance. In the evening, National Geographic is to host a gala dinner where photographer Paul Nicklen will share his amazing experiences as a specialised polar-region photographer. On day two, participants will split into five industry/sector working groups, each tasked with devising solutions to specific challenges. Click on the programme tab for the full schedule.
