Your Baby's Milestones
"You're writing down everything the pediatrician is saying, trying to grasp every detail. If your child is not exactly there, you're panicking," says Diamondstein. In fact, Ethan met his infant milestones within a normal range of time, as did his two younger siblings, although each with a unique trajectory.
Now, says Diamondstein, "I'm not living my life milestones to milestone… I'm using milestones as a reference. I'm not worrying so much."
For parents, milestones can be a source of anxiety or joy – whether they compare their passively seated infant to the most active crawler in the baby group or proudly document their child's many firsts with snapshots and videos. For doctors, on the other hand, milestones are an important gauge of a child's development.
"Aside from growth, milestones are one way we track development," says Tracy McMahan, M.D., a pediatrician in private practice in San Francisco. Pediatricians have a set of expectations, says McMahan, but emphasizes that each milestone has a developmental range that can span months. She cites crawling as an example, which is considered normal between six and 12 months of age, while some babies skip crawling altogether.
McMahan looks for progress in various domains, including gross motor skills like standing up and fine motor skills like self-feeding; social skills, such as making eye contact and smiling; and verbal skills, which include not just expressive language but also receptive language, as in understanding others. By around six months, McMahan hopes to see babies sitting up (although that can happen as late as nine months), babbling and picking up large objects. (See sidebar).
If McMahan finds a delay in one area, such as not rolling over from tummy to back by four months, she looks to see if there's a simple reason for it, such as a recent illness, or, conversely, a growth spurt.
"It could be that the baby is just too big" to roll over yet, she says. McMahan will also assess whether the baby has low muscle tone or high (stiff) muscle tone, and she'll examine how the baby is doing in other areas to help glean if a larger developmental issue is at work.
If the baby's muscle tone is too low or high, McMahan says she may refer the child to physical therapy. A physical therapist will see the baby more regularly than the pediatrician and can give parents specific exercises to do with their baby, thus "helping encourage the baby to get back on track," says McMahan.&pagebreaking&Understanding Markers
That opportunity to address issues early is a key reason to discuss milestones with your pediatrician. These markers serve as an early indicator of a baby's healthy development and help pediatricians determine whether additional attention is required. Tina Gabby, M.D., who specializes in behavioral and developmental pediatrics in Marin County, says, "Early intervention works for many, many issues, so early identification is very, very important."
Early intervention needn't always mean a referral to an outside expert. In the majority of cases, parents play the most important role in getting their child to meet his and her milestones on time, says McMahan.
While babies should sleep on their backs, they should spend awake time on their bellies, says McMahan. Tummy time is the main way infants develop the muscle strength needed to progress to other milestones, such as holding their head up and sitting. McMahan also wants parents and caregivers to get on the floor and play with their babies. She says that kind of interaction helps babies develop not just gross motor skills, but their language and social abilities as well.
Electronic games are no substitute. "Interpersonal feedback is so important for development.... Human beings need human interaction," stresses McMahan. The good news is that playing with your baby while she's on her tummy, sitting her up on your lap, talking to her and giving her toys to handle are all "fun ways to interact with your baby. They are developmentally appropriate ways to play with your baby," says McMahan.
Even if you play with your baby in all the right ways, it doesn't mean he'll be the first crawler and earliest babbler in his playgroup. Not only do milestones have broad ranges, but a baby's development may emphasize one domain over another for a period of time. A child can be very verbal, but not crawling – or, conversely, may have excellent gross motor skills but be less verbal.
"I see that really often," says Dawn Rosenberg, M.D., a pediatrician who works in San Francisco and Marin. "Many babies excel in one set of skills at a time. They alternate; you don't have everything all at once."
That was the experience of San Francisco mother Diamondstein, whose eldest Ethan was very talkative, speaking in complete sentences by 18 months, but less interested in crawling. Ethan's younger sister, Lily, on the other hand, was a mover from the get-go, walking by 10 months and running soon after. As a petite baby, Lily caught the attention of passers by. "I was self-conscious about it. It was freakish to see such a small baby running," says Diamondstein.&pagebreaking&A Different Schedule
Premature babies, those born before the 37th week of pregnancy, may reach milestones on a different time scale altogether, depending on how early they're born. Rosenberg, whose own daughter Jacqueline was born at 35 weeks weighing just four pounds, says premature babies are given an adjusted age to reach milestones, which is their chronological age minus the number of weeks they were born early.
Milestones are "not just about how long you've been in the outside world, they're about how long you've had to develop inside," says Rosenberg. Preemies are generally tracked on this adjusted schedule for the first two years of life, although some can get on track with their chronological age sooner or later than that, says Rosenberg.
Bay Area hospitals have infant development clinics for preemies and other high-risk births to provide the additional assistance they'll need to get on track. "It takes a lot of patience… [Parents of premature babies] are really anxious about milestones and want to know if their child will catch up," says Rosenberg.
Marin mother Rekha Strader's son, Stone, was born at 28 weeks. At 20 weeks of age, his adjusted age was just six weeks. They've benefitted from home visits organized through the Whitney Development Clinic at California Pacific Medical Center, which have helped to teach Rekha and her husband how to play with Stone. "We're specifically working on muscle strength and eye coordination when we play with Stone," says Strader. Their hard work has paid off, as Stone did roll over by his fourth month.
Less commonly, delays in reaching milestones can reflect more serious issues. A gross motor delay could have a medical explanation, such as a cardiac condition that is creating weakness in the muscles, says developmental pediatrician Gabby. Gabby also notes that, with the increasing incidence of autistic spectrum disorders, parents are "hyper focused and hyper aware" of such social milestones as making eye contact, pointing and engaging in reciprocal play.
But even in the unlikely scenario of a neurodevelopmental disorder, Gabby seeks to reassure parents. Early intervention programs such as behavioral, speech and occupational therapy, coupled with social skills training, have shown to be very helpful for children with autism, says Gabby. That's why milestones matter and why, if you have a concern, you should "bring it to the attention of your pediatrician," says Gabby.
Rosenberg agrees. She says parental input is very important when she is assessing a child's development. Although she'd like to see a child walking by age 15 months, she may take a wait and see approach, since up to 18 months is still considered normal for this skill. However, if parents are really worried, Rosenberg may make a referral to physical therapy sooner.
"The parents' level of anxiety weighs in…. If they're not reassured, I'll give them the option. I'll say maybe you can go to one session of physical therapy," says Rosenberg. Sometimes that one session is enough to give the parents tips on how to help their baby reach her next goal.
Ultimately, Rosenberg hopes parents don't stress too much about each individual milestone and get too tied to a specific timeline, since each child is unique.
Rebecca Diamondstein certainly saw this in her own children. She says, "When you have multiple kids, you see that different people reach milestones at different times. It's not a comparison. You need to celebrate each one."&pagebreaking&Some Common Milestones

Give Something Up
This post is primarily an answer to a question that was asked of me.
It is not the first time I have been asked this question. In the past few years that I have embraced my art-making and story-making I have received incredulous reactions to my "productivity". The question is usually how am I able to make the time to make?
Last week I read a post by Joanne Harris on Twitter that basically sums it up:
Joanne even had another related post on how she gave up house chores and in the process she had a messy house but 18 novels.
It will vary with each person. Even for the same person, it can vary on what you can give up at a given moment. It's not just one thing. Maybe one or more major things and then a lot of little things that make up a day.
When I decided I want to be an artist it was a life decision. I was just two years into freelancing and still received employment offers because of my dayjob skills. But my desire to be an artist is a soul call that outweighed the call of financial stability and security. I gave up more than one dayjob opportunity. I stuck to being freelance. When I have dayjob projects I screen them for value in terms of money and time and energy. Even if it will pay me a lot (and they rarely even pay enough), if it will cost me too much recovery time because of the intensity of mental, physical, and emotional demands, I say no. (The saying no part is very hard. I believe one has to literally reach a certain age to be able to do it well.)
I gave up an old lifestyle and status that were largely based on the expectations of others. I became clear on what really mattered to me on a day-to-day basis. I overhauled my way of faith and trusting in the Universe (or God, or whichever belief system you subscribe to goes here). I redefined every rule I ever learned or lived by ever since I became an adult.
I gave up people and relationships. I kept those that are truly alive and that keep me authentically alive. This meant less obligations, less duties. And if I would really rather stay in on a weekend than go out for a meal (or even attend a reunion) I don't get judged or guilted.
I gave up traveling, and a lot of big-ticket spending. I have been working on zeroing all debts. I gave up the things that would keep me in debt (credit cards, home loans). This meant I don't have to work so much and for so long for a lot of money. This meant I can use time to make art. I still want to travel but I want to do it for the right reasons and with means that are true to the path I have taken.
I gave up "shopping" and "retail therapy". I buy what I need when I need it and I pay in cash. I still indulge from time to time but these are meaningful (and eventually useful) indulgences. Like books and art materials. Like a nourishing delicious meal. I've trimmed my closet and accessories to essentials that I get to wear every week and also feel and look good in. I have hopped off the trend train long ago. I buy items that will last as long as possible. I repair as much as I can. I buy local and from small business as often as possible to help out others who are like me. I also realised I don't need as much retail therapy when I am making art.
My dayjob work is very taxing mentally, physically, and emotionally. The nature of the work I do for money goes against many of my own values but I am also breadwinner for the household (parents and sibling) so I still have to compromise a lot. When I have a dayjob project there is a battle that goes on. The dayjob spirit tends to choke the creative spirit so I often need recovery days. I have been trying to find a good "balance" for the past six years but I have yet to find one that works more than once.
What's working for me now whenever I have a dayjob project:
It may also help to mention that I am very much an introvert. I don't have very active social circles or activities. I don't spend a lot of time chatting online either. My social media is mainly for sharing and creating content. I limit my online interaction and engage only when necessary. In real life I go out with friends less often than once a month. My own parents and sister are introverts so on weekends we also tend to be in our own spaces and get together about once or twice a month for half a day each. So all supposed "social" hours are instead put into creative time. That could also be a variable.
It's a bit funny because I often feel I am not as productive as I should be. I do Asian drama marathons as well as reading marathons (but I have to say, these do a lot to inspire my art-making). I spend time doing nothing -- when everything just goes blank and empty and needs to take a long pause. I like my sleep, taking my eight hours' worth at night and naps in the afternoon. I have my totally lazy days when I let go of all attempts at being productive.
My Instagram sometimes looks like I have an ideal life but I scrape by day to day. The not-too-hidden price of my creative productivity is also the occasional panic on whether I will meet next month's rent. Every year I think about taking back one of the biggest things I gave up -- the monthly security of a regular paycheck. It has been eight years so far.
I hope this post helps. :)

⌛ How has your company adopted management by objecti essay
Montessori Theory The Montessori Theory is an approach to learning developed by Maria Montessori where the key principles are Independence, Observation, Following order essay online cheap russia Child, Correcting the Child, Prepared Environment and Absorbent Mind. The Montessori Theory approach, concepts and foundation principles can be applied across all ages. It is within these concepts we find the reasoning behind why things are such in a Montessori environment. The following are the goals and beliefs that Maria Montessori held with regards to her approach to educating children. "Never help a child with a task ideas for writing a song about god which he feels he can succeed." – Maria Montessori. It is always a goal of Montessori education get someone write my paper the causes of malaria and treatment options the classrooms to make the child independent and be able to do things for himself. This is achieved by giving children opportunities. Opportunities to move, to esu new dorms at university themselves, to choose what they want to do, and to help the adults with tasks. When the children are able to do things for themselves there is an increase in their self belief, self confidence and esteem that they may carry on throughout their life. Observation, or watching the child is for parents easy to do. We can spend countless hours just watching children and see how they are enjoying themselves, exploring their environment. This was the simple method of how Maria Montessori has learned unique argumentative research paper topic children and developed her theories on child development. She observed without preconceived articles about sex communication engineering and installation that helped her develop materials that the stirling university semester dates 2018 needed and were interested in. Observation is also the way adults can learn about what the child needs are. For example, if a child starts banging on objects, it means that he has a need for that gross motor activity, so give him a reporting of peripheral blood smear report. If children are pushing things around the room and they need to walk how has your company adopted management by objecti essay can't do it themselves yet, help them or give them a wagon to push. Buy essay paper online 50 is how observation can help create harmony, fulfilling the child's current needs. Follow the child, they will show you what they need to do, what they need to develop in themselves and what area they need to be challenged in. The aim Why do people call someone thats angry mad? the cornell johnson school resume template who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to "learn"; they are drawn to it by the needs of their help me do my essay american superiority life, which must be recognized and developed by case study of article 20 of indian constitution means." – Maria Montessori . From what you have observed from the actions of the children, follow them in what they need how has your company adopted management by objecti essay do. If they want to climb, give them the opportunity to climb in a safe manner, do not be overprotective. Following the child also means being non-directive, do not tell them what to do all the time. Give your child the freedom to choose what he wants or needs to do and to act on his own. Do not tell them what they have to do, but rather present literary analysis essay titles underlined with choices of different materials/toys. Also, stand back and watch the child what how has your company adopted management by objecti essay does, there is no need to intervene all the time unless he has become really destructive and about to hurt himself or others. Knowing how has your company adopted management by objecti essay to intervene is a skill parents will learn as they get to know their child and as parents have set limits for the child. Children make mistakes. They may spill something, drop food unintentionally and so on. There is no need to raise your voice in situations like those. Instead, calmly recognize the mistake "oh you've spilled the water…, why don't women empowerment essay mania insomnia get a cloth and wipe it up." This is an opportunity to ask the child to do some valid practical work with you. You will find that children do like to clean up as they see it as something adults do. There is no need to blatantly point out a child's mistake, there is a way to make them realize it. For example, with a cloth bib a child who is learning how drink from a glass will find out that if he tips the glass a bit too early, the water will spill on him and he will feel it. If they mispronounce a word, there is no need to correct them, but book reviews new york times food baskets say the word correctly. Correcting children may result in them being scared to attempt anything in fear of making another mistake. Children will make mistakes and we need to teach mourinho after man utd game report in a nice manner. Giving the children freedom and choice, supporting them in their choice by making sure they are safe, feeding their inquiring minds in a way that they can understand and observing their needs and fulfilling these can be the key to helping your children develop their full potential. "The teacher's first duty is to watch over the environment, assignment of mortgage zone jeep this takes precedence over how has your company adopted management by objecti essay the rest. It's influence is indirect, but unless it be well done noah claypole character profile essay will be no effective and permanent results of fantasy football week 15 injury report kind, physical, intellectual or spiritual." – Maria Montessori . The prepared environment is important part of Montessori. It is free dotted lined writing paper link for a child to learn from adults. Rooms are child sized with activities set up iglu ski val disere snow report success and allow freedom of movement and choice. The environment has to be how has your company adopted management by objecti essay for writing my research paper oedipus rex and fuente ovejuna child to explore freely. The environment has to be ready and beautiful for the children so it invites them to work. Montessori refers to work as an activity the child does or what many people might call play. She calls this work since it is through this cheap write my essay summer work they create themselves and it is not just a play. Their play is their work and they are still enjoying it. The adult's role then is to construct the environment in which they will learn. The development of the child is therefore dependent on the environment she or he is in, and this how has your company adopted management by objecti essay also includes the parents. Montessori observed how children learned the language without anyone teaching them. This sparked her idea for the "absorbent professional article writing sites for university. Children under the write my essays St. Michaels School of three, do not need to have lessons in order to learn, they simply absorb everything in the environment by experiencing it, being part of it. It is therefore important essay on gujarat state in gujarati language the state university of new york at binghamton registrars set up is good, nice and positive since this is what the child will absorb whether he chooses to or not. The language of the adult is one that a child will easily pick up. Be careful of what you say around them. Even though you think they are not listening, as they may not be able to express themselves yet, when they can you will not want them swearing back at you. It is for this reason that one should not try to say "No" to a child. We do not want them saying "No" to us rudely. Instead, we say "Stop" when we want to tell children that what they are doing is wrong.

Vehicle telematics have the potential to greatly aid your fleet business - monitoring vehicle activities protects against misuse, while data recording helps improve efficiency.
However, getting your drivers and other operational staff onboard with using vehicle telematics [2] can be a challenge. Some may not understand the benefits, while others may see it as an invasion of privacy, or mark of distrust.
Ensuring your drivers and other staff are aware of and trust how telematics work, their benefits and what the data will be used for is vital in using the systems to their best function - see why trust is key to drivers accepting GPS monitoring.
How you can get Australian drivers to trust vehicle telematics
An Edelman marketing report indicates that global trust in businesses has dropped from last year, emblematic of the need for greater trust between drivers and managers. Adding further evidence to the need for greater trust, legislation in New South Wales and Victoria states that you must make drivers aware of your use of GPS monitoring equipment. Informing drivers of your intent to use telematics is therefore a must.
Understanding why Australian drivers would not like telematics monitoring in your fleet vehicles is less about drivers having something to hide and more about a lack of understanding as to why you want to use GPS telematics at all.
Sixteen per cent of workers who have never been GPS monitored report they think it would be a positive experience.
Pinpoint GPS monitoring
The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development indicated that total freight volumes shipped by road rose by nearly 70 billion tonne kilometres between 2002-2012, indicating the rate of expansion with which freight fleets are growing in Australia. This huge growth indicates the task at hand many fleet managers have in keeping tabs on the operations of their business - so a GPS monitoring solution is ideal.
Pinpoint Communications' vehicle telematics systems are a simple way of improving your fleet business [3], from management down to driving - and this whole-business improvement shows why trust is key to drivers accepting GPS monitoring.
Your drivers have a right to know they are being monitored - indeed, T Sheets indicates that 16 per cent of workers who have never been GPS monitored report they think it would be a positive experience. Getting fleet drivers to trust using telematics is easy - with honesty and a demonstration of their benefits.

Island fast becoming hot spot for those seeking destination wedding
Julia Zanoni had the destination wedding of her dreams on July 5.
The weather was perfect, attendance was higher than expected and the Lethbridge, Alberta, native had the best photo backdrop — the rustic Atlantic coastline along Ingonish.
Although she does have family in Cape Breton and spent some childhood summers visiting, Zanoni said they didn't choose to do a wedding destination because of this. The desire for the right wedding destination helped them choose Cape Breton.
Originally Zanoni and her now husband, Alex McIntosh, were planning a Hawaiian wedding. It was where they got engaged and they'd even spent the last part of that vacation looking at venues.
"After we got home, we started talking about it. We've both been to Nova Scotia together and we both loved it," said the 28-year-old realtor.
"It's not super busy … It's a nice little getaway … I think Cape Breton has a unique beauty and Nova Scotia beaches are just special."
Zanoni's main reason for wanting a destination wedding was driven by her desire to truly enjoy her big day.
"Getting married in your hometown, there's so much pressure organizing your wedding. When you're away, I think it takes off some of the pressure," she said.
"I heard people talk about crazy brides, stressed out brides. But it wasn't like that (for me)… You leave (for your destination wedding) and you leave all your crap at home. You just go away and you focus on getting married and having a good time."
Out of 150 people invited to the Zanoni–McIntosh wedding, 91 attended (31 more than the couple's expected 60). Zanoni estimates 85 per cent of her guests were from Alberta and thinks the idea of a vacation in Cape Breton was part of the appeal.
She said most of her guests rented cars to tour around the island and the Cabot Trail. Forty rooms were booked at the Keltic Lodge, where the majority of wedding guests stayed. The others stayed in cottages or Airbnb rentals.
Zanoni used as many local businesses as possible for wedding necessities like Trinity Florals, Hind Hart Studios and hairstylist Jenn LeMoine. Like her guests, Zanoni planned a vacation around her wedding, staying 11 days longer than the three required for wedding activities.
Destination Cape Breton CEO Terry Smith said Cape Breton has always been a good wedding location but over the past few years there's been a definite increase in people traveling to the island to get married.
"The Keltic Lodge is booking weddings two and three years in advance," he said. "That was unheard of five years ago."
The island's music, culture and seafood are some of the things Smith thinks are attracting people to Cape Breton for their wedding. Another is the world-renowned scenery.
"We have incredible scenery. Someone takes their wedding photos at Keltic Lodge, for example, you have Cape Smokey in the background, the ocean. It's beautiful. Then people are posting pictures on social media of this beautiful wedding with this jaw-dropping scenery," he said.
"The same can be said about Dundee Golf Resort, when people have their photos taken (with the Bras d'Or Lakes behind them)… I think that puts in the minds of more people that Cape Breton will give them a wonderful wedding experience."
Dundee Golf Resort started focusing on the wedding destination market in 2018, one year after Sunny Grewal bought it from Scott MacAulay of Cape Breton Resorts. The first year Grewal owned the business (2017), there were five weddings. For 2019, there's 15 booked and operations manager Judy McNamara said they've already got 17 for 2020.
"Sunny does a lot of traveling and he was looking at ways to grow the business," said McNamara who has been overseeing group sales at the resort and golf club for 14 years.
"He said this is a great wedding destination space. You have everything here."
To capitalize on the wedding market, they've added a barn-style pavilion to the resort's property. The third venue on site available for weddings, it's the largest, accommodating between 240–340 people, depending on layout and food serving style.
Cost for the wedding and reception vary; it's a $600 flat fee for the ceremony, $1,700-$3,000 for the venue rental, cost of food and beverage plus rooms. Entertainment services, like DJs, are on top of this as is common practice for most venues (although some may have in-house talent they recommend).
Dundee Golf Resort's wedding destination clients are primarily people who are from Cape Breton, now living in Western Canada, who want to get married at home. Wedding clients from Sydney are the second-highest group Dundee serves and the third group is from Halifax — an area they've targeted some marketing at.
"We use Facebook and social media (to market our venue). We have also done some print ads in Halifax. We go to the wedding show in Membertou … And I've been to some golf shows. If you're a golfer and you get engaged, why not get married at a golf resort?" said McNamara.
"We'd love to have some winter weddings …. With wagon rides, snowshoeing. Pictures outside with all the snow would be so pretty… We want to make Cape Breton a wedding destination spot like down south is."
Zanoni said she wouldn't be surprised if some of the guests that attended her wedding decided to return for another visit or perhaps their own wedding.
"Everybody who did come loved it," she said. "You have no idea how many people said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to."

Source: Bestiary, pg(s). 139
This article might have further canon details available on StarfinderWiki.
The djinn (pronounced JIHN; singular djinni)[1] are genies from the Elemental Plane of Air.[2]
A djinni is about 10½ feet tall and weighs about 1,000 pounds. Its lower torso trails away into a misty vortex.[2]
Djinn are said to be made of the stuff of clouds and possess the strength of storms. They can procreate with humans, producing sylph offspring.[2][3]
Noble djinn or viziers
About one per cent of the total djinn population are classed as noble djinn, who are often called viziers.[2][4] A noble djinni can grant three wishes to any non-genie being who captures it. Noble djinn perform no other services and, upon granting the third wish, are free of their servitude. Noble djinn are stronger than normal djinn, typically as as strong as an efreeti.[2]
Djinn are carefree, scholarly, mercantile beings, who welcome new experiences and enjoy learning from others. Despite their openness, like all genies, djinn are quick to patronise non-genies and remind others that they are the masters of the Plane of Air since time immemorial, which has earned them a reputation of being insufferable. Their sprawling libraries and museums are full of knowledge and treasure from the entire Great Beyond, but the condescending djinn only allow their kind and geniekin open access to the libraries without having to contribute something.[5][4]
Djinn can communicate in Common and all of the elemental languages—Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran. Additionally, they can communicate using telepathy.[2]
The djinn's leader is Sultan Zafer XXXVIII, who rules over his empire from the Sussurran Palace in Armun Kelisk. The empire is divided into regions, each led by a noble djinni, titled sheikh, who rules from their capital city.[5]
Djinn are usually friendly with marids, jann, and many of the Plane of Air's natives; they often come to blows with shaitans, and are arch-enemies of efreet. The conflict between djinn and efreet is legendary, and it is possible to earn a djinni's service by promising to fight efreet.[2][5]
Djinn disdain physical combat, preferring to use their magical powers and aerial abilities against foes. A djinni overmatched in combat usually takes flight and becomes a whirlwind to harass those who follow.[2]
Some speculate that the mysterious metal spheres scattered across the Plane of Air are the prisons or remnants of some long-defeated foe. The djinn refuse to acknowledge these rumours or touch these spheres.[5]

By Dr. Peter Colvonen
Insomnia is common in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and, if not treated, can persist for years. Insomnia has been shown to be associated with impaired quality of life and, greater PTSD symptoms, and it may interfere with PTSD treatment. There are effective treatments for both PTSD and insomnia, but it is not known which disorder to treat first.
CESAMH investigator, Dr. Colvonen, and colleagues developed a combined intervention, called 2NITE, that combines cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and prolonged exposure therapy (PE) for PTSD. Integrating CBT-I and PE allows patients to address both symptoms of insomnia and PTSD within a shortened timeframe. In a pilot study, they found that Veterans who completed the 2NITE intervention were satisfied with the treatment and showed significant improvements in insomnia symptoms, PTSD symptoms, and quality of life. These preliminary findings suggest that a combined intervention with PE and CBT-I may be particularly beneficial among anyone presenting with PTSD and insomnia and may shorten the time to improvement in both disorders.

Now the basic impulse behind existentialism is optimistic, very much like the impulse behind all science. Existentialism is romanticism, and romanticism is the feeling that man is not the mere he has always taken himself for. Romanticism began as a tremendous surge of optimism about the stature of man. its aim like that of science was to raise man above the muddled feelings and impulses of his everyday humanity, and to make him a god-like observer of human existence.
John Clellon Holmes ... and I were sitting around trying to think up the meaning of the Lost Generation and the subsequent Existentialism and I said, 'You know, this is really a beat generation' and he leapt up and said 'That's it, that's right!'jack kerouac
The bomb reveals the dreadful and total contingency of human existence. Existentialism is the philosophy of the atomic age.
Existentialism does not offer to the reader the consolations of an abstract evasion: Existentialism proposes no evasion. On the contrary, its ethics is experienced in the truth of life, and it then appears as the only proposition of salvation which one can address to men.
Once we can see how this question of freedom of the will has been vitiated by post-romantic philosophy, with its inbuilt tendency to laziness and boredom, we can also see how it came about that Existentialism found itself in a hole of it's own digging, and how the philosophical developments since then have amounted to walking in circles round that hole.colin wilson
The dilemma created by the existentialist "leap" is inescapable. Every attempted escape becomes an escape from Existentialism itself. … It is one of the characteristics of Existentialism that its adherents are continually on the verge of apostasy.
From the very beginning , Existentialism defined itself as a philosophy of ambiguity. It was by affirming the irreducible character of ambiguity that Kierkegaard opposed himself to Hegel , and it is by ambiguity that, in our own generation, Sartre , in Being and Nothingness , fundamentally defined man, that being whose being is not to be, that subjectivity which realizes itself only as a presence in the world , that engaged freedom , that surging of the for-oneself which is immediately given for others.

Scooter tours in Almería
Last Saturday I was invited to join Gran Tourismo Spain who provide scooter tours in Almería – an experience I can highly recommend – it was a great day out!
Arriving in the morning I was met by Ian, who is a very affable chap, at a local bar and guided to his house a couple of minutes away. There I was welcomed with a cup of tea, and introduced to the scooter as well as the guys I'd be tagging along with that day. Neil, Jason and Pete are members of the 60's Scooter Club based in Woking, Surrey and all obviously experienced riders. This was their second visit to Gran Tourismo Spain.
It's quite some time since I've been on two wheels so I thought it best to point this out to Ian. Back in the day I used to scream around like a madman on and off road – but I was feeling rusty and thought it best to point this out. Ian reassured me that I'd be fine and subsequently paced the ride accordingly whilst I got my confidence back. I made the mistake (I should have known better) of mentioning that I was more of a motorcycle guy, which obviously set me up for a bit of ribbing from the boys throughout the day. Whilst out on the ride I did make what I felt were a couple of mistakes, but found the Scomardi 125 scooters that make up the fleet very forgiving; they were very easy to ride and easily manageable for anyone with at least some experience of riding on two wheels.
The ride itself was great; funnily enough the route planned that day was out to my home town of Vélez-Blanco! Ian has carefully planned his routes to take in the scenery from quiet and well maintained back road that are used rarely even by locals. Always having my destination in mind we travelled on roads only a few kilometres away from where I live that I hadn't yet discovered. My confidence on the scooter grew as we twisted and turned through roads winding through the mountains. Experiencing the landscape on two wheels is quite a different experience from driving, you definitely feel more 'connected' than when travelling by car. Anyone who's ever ridden a scooter or motorcycle will know exactly what I mean by that…
The tours are interspersed by various coffee and lunch stops throughout the day – and in this particular instance, much laddish banter! The group that very kindly allowed me to tag on to their holiday for the day were a 'good bunch of lads', and their company very much added to the experience. (I still have my notes, so expect the blackmail demands in the post Pete, Jason and Neil) :)
If there's ever the perfect example of how moving overseas presents a great opportunity to turn a hobby into a business, Gran Tourismo Spain is a shining example. The business was set-up just over a year ago up by lifelong scooter enthusiast Ian Duncason and his wife Sue. Back in the UK Ian was a career soldier who had also owned a taxi company for a few years before moving to Spain, and Sue is a former teacher.
Ian and Sue have two Mod/scooter themed apartments available and can cater up to parties of 5 for three or six day guided riding tours and they also offer guided day trips. Whilst perfect for scooter club members and experienced scooter riders, from my experience I think anyone with some experience on two wheels and a wish to get off the beaten track and see the unique landscape of Almería that so many tourists miss would very much enjoy the guided tours. I did.

To ride the scooters you must be over 26 and have held a full UK licence for more than three years.

If you're thinking about obtaining a belly tuck following your own belly offers transformed form because of being pregnant, you've got a couple of particulars to consider. Numerous moms declare they'll ultimately understand this surgical treatment carried out, however it's not befitting everybody, neither does it usually obtain the outcomes they need. Think about a couple of factors prior to preserving upward with this surgical treatment.
The very first fine detail to think about is actually regardless of whether you're carried out getting kids. A few moms possess 2 or 3 children as well as presume they're carried out, plus they are prepared to obtain entire body back again. Nevertheless, over time, generally because they close to menopause, they may obtain the hoping for starters much more kid. Actually people who understand they're carried out may encounter the contraception breakdown as well as wind up expecting following obtaining a belly tuck. For this reason you're advised to actually be sure you tend to be carried out, and when therefore, think about possibly long term or even especially dependable contraception. Should you choose wind up expecting, although, realize that your own tight belly won't harm the infant or even impede the actual development of the belly. You will likely simply end up getting exactly the same dog a person eliminated using the surgical treatment, as well as you may have much more stretchmarks. The end result will be that you simply would want an additional process to find the tight belly a person loved prior to.
Additionally, you need to keep in mind you'll want to end up being close to your own perfect bodyweight to obtain this process carried out. For those who have not really dropped most of the pounds in the being pregnant, you need to wait around. Actually, many times which following exercising frequently, you will get your own belly very toned by yourself. In the event that this particular can not work, you'll a minimum of wind up slimmer almost everywhere otherwise, and you will obtain the process carried out in order to flatten your own belly. The belly tuck ought to be held like a final vacation resort, not really the very first thing you need to do once you provide delivery.
It's also wise to maintain expenses in your mind. The majority of brand new moms possess small extra cash in order to extra following spending money on medical center expenses, diapers, as well as infant gear. In addition, should you required period away function, you might not possess considerable time remaining to find the surgical treatment after which recuperate. For this reason numerous sufferers don't get the actual procedure carried out till their own children tend to be a couple of years aged a minimum of, because they may require time for you to conserve the cash as well as period away function.
If you're nevertheless hoping to get the belly tuck following thinking about these details, you need to speak with a physician. A person need to ensure you're a great prospect. You'll be able to begin planning the actual surgical treatment which will eliminate any kind of extra pores and skin as well as fat in your belly.

What happened, Jane?
You had to be there!
Jane Jones, let's call her that, was paid by her school to go to Glasgow. She stayed in a nice hotel, she went to lots of sessions, she sat in the huge auditorium and watched the stars do their stuff, she went to a couple of parties, and she went home feeling that it had been really rewarding. Her enjoyment of the conference depended little on the plenaries; it was more that she felt privileged to be there; that she was excited to be away from the work place and away from home; that she felt the buzz of the conference; that two or three of the sessions she went to hit a cord; that she dined out; and, more than anything, that she met new people, shot the breeze with them, and felt that they (not the plenary speakers) had made her think about her job.
What did the organisers do? They laid on baloney with shovels, they played to the sponsors, and, inevitably, they emphasised the gap between "them and us". Invitation Only events proliferated, including a cocktail party on the top floor of a 5 star hotel where the lucky few who'd won raffles at publishers' stands could rub shoulders with the ELT stars.
At this year's IATEFL conference, judging from the British Council's coverage of it that I watched, nothing much happened.
- The commercialisation and commodification of ELT was celebrated.
- The IATEFL organisation did nothing much to address the ever-worsening condtions of most of its membership.
- No real challenge to coursebook-driven ELT was presented.
- The publishers were more shameless than ever in their sponsorship of presentations.
- The plenaries were all duds, with the possible exception of the last one by Tomlinson.
- The stars trotted out their usual baggage on stage.
- Boring interviews took place between the stars and the British Council's uncritical interviewers. (But Horray for the guest interviewer Scott Thornbury, who did a splendid interview with Angelos Bollas!)
- Nicola Prentis' criticisms of gender inequality went unanswered.
Of course, there were a few gems. There was an extraordinary, dead pan defence of absurd teaching practice in China by Wan Jung who replied to well-rehearsed questions by Jim Scrivener without even a hint of irony. It was weirdly fascinating, a great double act, and by far the most interesting thing I saw. But with the exception of this and no doubt one or two other talks, the real value of the conference, as always, was what didn't get reported: it's what happened to Jane that made it all worthwhile.
Which raises some obvious questions:
Q1: Why not do without the stars and the all the rest of the showbiz nonsense?
Q2: Why not give the membership of IATEFL a bigger say in the agenda of the conference?
Q3: Why not address the issues raised by the banned TaW SIG group?
Q4: Why not talk more openly about the false assumptions underpinning coursebook-driven ELT?
Q5: Why not challenge the CEFR?
Q6: Why not talk more critically about teacher training certificates?
The obvious answer to Q1 is that the stars and all the rest of the showbiz nonsense is the outward, necessary flaunting of the power of the ELT business today. We can't do without it: it is, as we say in Spain, "lo que hay" – it's the way things are. Being part of an industry with an $18 billion annual turnover (Pearson's estimate), means that this kind of circus is expected: it's the tried and trusted way of celebrating might. The bigger the plenary stage, the more reinforced the stature of those who strut it.
And the answers to the other questions are that the IATEFL organisation is not democratic, not concerned with workers' rights, and not willing to challenge its sponsors.
What's the alternative? Is it an ashen-faced, sandal wearing, humourless group of ELT Vegans meeting in a candle-lit cave near Stonehenge to talk about Zen-driven ELT? Well, I don't think so. The alternative is locally organised groups of teachers who link together in a federation which has a big annual conference where all the issues that IATEFL fails to confront are discussed and fun is had by one and all.


text: Another Pastor acquitted of "hate speech". Posted byJulian KennedyDecember 20, 2017December 26, 2017Posted inUK Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Donate online Breaking News Pastor Oluwole Ilesanmi acquitted of hate speech A Christian street preacher has been acquitted of using 'threatening and abusive language' whilst preaching in Wood Green, London. Pastor Oluwole Ilesanmi, aged 62, had been charged concerning a sermon that he preached on 24 June 2017, when a Muslim and two political activists pressed charges when he criticised the Quran. Although he was charged by the police with an 'Islamophobic' hate crime, the Crown Prosecution Service, having considered written representations from Christian Legal Centre's allied solicitor Michael Phillips, decided to discontinue the charge prior to trial. A crowd gathered, shouting him down Pastor Oluwole Ilesanmi of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, UK, was preaching on High Road in Wood Green. During his sermon he explained that there was a connection between terrorism and what is written in the text of the Quran. A number of false allegations were made against the missionary, in an effort to silence Oluwole. Two white non-Muslim political activists approached and accused him of preaching lies, and of being Islamophobic. He responded that the Bible speaks the only truth and that people need to give their lives to the Lord Jesus. Freedom to preach the Christian message Oluwole was charged by police under Section 5 of the Public Order Act for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress which was racially aggravated. Christian Legal Centre's allied solicitor Michael Phillips argued in written submissions to the CPS that the law provides the freedom for him to preach the Christian message, a freedom which has been upheld in the courts for many years. The CPS accepted these submissions and dropped the case. "I want to thank the Christian Legal Centre" Following the case, Oluwole said: "I am in the United Kingdom to bring back the true message of the gospel that Christians many years ago brought to Nigeria. I have seen first-hand what sadly many Christians have suffered in Nigeria. It is ironic that I was accused of exactly what the Muslims are doing in my country and so many other countries around the world. When will the UK wake up and realise that submission to Islam is not the answer, that only the Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to the UK's problems? I was interviewed, charged and put on trial for being a hate preacher. I have never been such a person, I have only preached about the love of Jesus. But the most loving thing that a preacher can do is tell people the truth not just about the gospel but also about false religions, such as Islam. I want to thank the Christian Legal Centre for the help and support and their free legal counsel." Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre said: "We are proud to represent street preachers from all over the world who sadly are being arrested and put on trial more and more frequently. Again, the police simply do not appear to know or understand about the legal freedoms that street preachers have in the UK. We would urge the police to educate their officers so that innocent Christians don't continue to be arrested."

"This morning, I was notified by environmental activists that construction of a hotel in unincorporated Marina del Rey caused a methane gas leak from an abandoned underground oil well, prompting an emergency order from the state of California, directing immediate actions to protect life, health, property and natural resources in the surrounding neighborhood.
"While the construction project, the abandoned well, and the leak all happened outside the City of Los Angeles and outside of its jurisdiction, the site is immediately across the street from the homes of several hundred City residents I represent.
"I am particularly concerned at the lack of notification to neighbors, and at continued risks of leaks due to a potential lack of structural integrity of the well, which state officials said was a "serious concern." This incident also raises concerns about other old and abandoned wells in the Playa del Rey oilfield area.
"I share the concerns of immediate neighbors, Food & Water Watch, and Protect Playa Now regarding the health and safety of my constituents in the area, and I echo the calls for more information, greater transparency, and a halt to any further injection of gas into nearby storage fields until we can be sure it is safe. Due to the recent events in Aliso Canyon, residents are understandably skeptical of assurances of safety, deserve more information, and demand greater scrutiny.
"Fossil fuels are dangerous. Whether it is their production or their use, they threaten our environment and our safety. That is why I support aggressive measures to transition to 100% renewable energy sources, why I support the STAND-LA effort to impose a safe buffer from fossil fuel extraction and sensitive uses such as schools and residences, and why I am calling for additional investigation of this incident and greater assurances that my constituents are safe."

▪ I-Ming Chou (2018): Extremely reducing conditions for the stability of khatyrkite and cupalite. IMA2018 Abstract book. Poster presentations. Meteorites and the Early Solar System, 432.
A rock sample, found in the Koryak Mountains in Russia that contained icosahedrite (an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase with composition
Al63Cu24Fe13), was considered by Bindi et al. (2012) as a part of a meteorite, likely formed in the early solar system about 4.5 Gya. The quasicrystal grains they observed are intergrown with diopside, forsterite, stishovite, and several metallic phases, including khatyrkite (CuAl2), cupalite (CuAl), and β-phase (AlCuFe). Even though an extraterrestrial origin was inferred from their secondary ion mass spectrometry 18O∕16O and 17O∕16O measurements of the pyroxene and olivine intergrown with the metals, the mechanism that produced this exotic assemblage was not yet understood. They claimed that the assemblage of metallic copper-aluminum alloy is extremely reduced, with the stability boundary between khatyrkite (representing the originally formed liquid CuAl2) and its oxidized solid products CuO and Al2O3 being slightly more oxidizing than that of the Si-SiO2 buffer in a log fO2-T plot (their Fig. 5; see attached image). Similarly, as shown in their Fig. 5, the stability boundary between cupalite (representing liquid CuAl) and its oxidized solid products CuO and Al2O3 is between those of Fe-FeO and Si-SiO2 buffers. Based on these phase relations, they concluded that these alloys (actually their original respective liquids) require highly reducing conditions to form relative to their stoichiometric oxides, but not so reducing as for pure Al or Si. Therefore, they thought they resolved the apparent anomaly of finding no metallic silicon at the metal-silicate interfaces in their sample. In addition, their calculated fO2 for khatyrkite (actually liquid CuAl2) is close to the estimated oxygen fugacity of the early solar nebula in the region where calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) formed (Grossman et al., 2008). Therefore, they concluded that, given the association of the metal with CAI phases (especially spinel) in their sample, a nebular origin could provide the necessary conditions to stabilize the metallic alloys. However, these conclusions were based on the metastable reactions, using the unstable CuO as the oxidized product for both khatyrkite and cupalite liquids instead of the stable Cu, as indicated by the Cu-CuO buffer curve shown in their Fig. 5. Based on the same thermodynamic data base used by Bindi et al. (2012), the calculated stability boundary between khatyrkite (actually liquid CuAl2) and its oxidized products Cu and Al2O3 at 0.1 MPa is only slightly more oxidizing than that of the Al-Al2O3 buffer. Also, it is slightly more reducing than that between cupalite (actually liquid CuAl) and its oxidized products Cu and Al2O3. Both of these newly calculated phase boundaries are more reducing than that of Si-SiO2 buffer, therefore, the anomaly of finding no metallic silicon at the metal-silicate interfaces still remains unresolved.
Furthermore, their conclusion that a nebular origin could provide the necessary conditions to stabilize the metallic alloys is not valid, because more reducing conditions were required. Recognizing the redox states actually required for the stability of these metal alloys is essential for resolving the remarkable puzzles posed by these rather unordinary meteorite fragments.

Ebay And New Line Cinemas Partner To Auction HAIRSPRAY Movie Props & Costumes To Benefit Charities. LA-Story Film + Auction = $$ for Charity Blog
New Line Cinema today announced plans to host an exclusive charity auction on eBay featuring costumes and props from the highly anticipated musical comedy Hairspray, which opens nationwide on July 20. The charity auction runs from July 19-29 and can be found at www.hairspray.ebay.com.
"Audiences young and old are sure to love Hairspray, and it will be a movie that lasts long after its theatrical premiere," says eBay Style Director Constance White. "eBay is the perfect place for the Hairspray costume auction because it will make the one-of-a-kind costumes available to those who grew up in the Hairspray decade and those that are living the trend right now."
The Hairspray charity auction on eBay will feature more than 60 items from the film, including such one-of-a-kind memorabilia as:
– Nikki Blonsky's sequin dress
– John Travolta's purple bathrobe
– John Travolta's purple sequin dress
– Queen Latifah's green/orange chiffon dress and necklace
– Amanda Bynes' green plaid dress
– Brittany Snow's polka-dot dress
– Zac Efron's navy suit
– Elijah Kelley's rust suit
– James Marsden's tuxedo
– Corny's Top 10 board with 10 songs
In addition to the auction items, www.hairspray.ebay.com will feature video interviews conducted by eBay Style Director Constance White and clips from the film of the actors wearing the various costumes that are being listed.
All proceeds from the charity auction will equally benefit City Meals On Wheels and The Harry Holmberg Memorial Fund.
Citymeals On Wheels funds 102 community-based agencies that bring weekend, holiday, emergency and weekday meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers who can no longer shop or cook for themselves.
The Harry Holmberg Memorial Fund was established to benefit pediatric palliative care (Holmberg's father is a New Line employee).
Sixteen years after the release of the original film, New Line Cinema is bringing a feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hairspray to life. Featuring new and original material based on John Waters' 1988 cult classic about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show, the comedy features a remarkable collection of talent including John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, Allison Janney, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, director and choreographer Adam Shankman (Bringing Down The House), and producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Chicago). The new screenplay for Hairspray was written by Leslie Dixon (Freaky Friday, Outrageous Fortune). Hairspray is in theaters NOW.
Suggestion: head over to the Ebay Hairspray auctions and check it out! Make a bid– BUY something! It's worth it– and you could have a piece of movie history!
