YONKERS, NY – October 8, 2019 – Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano announced the Yonkers Office of the Aging (YOFA) and Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS) have been awarded a New York State Office for the Aging Grant entitled NNORC (Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Community). The $1 million grant over five years will help coordinate a broad range of health and social services for older residents to age in their own homes/ apartments, in the community that they love. Yonkers is the first municipality in Westchester County to be awarded a NNORC grant.
"Many of our aging residents are choosing to retire and age in place, in homes that may not be designed for the needs of older adults," said Mayor Spano. "This grant gives us an opportunity to expand on the many services we provide for our seniors yet cater to their unique needs of those who chose not to leave their home. Thank you to New York State Office for the Aging, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Westchester Jewish Community Services for their support in providing for this growing population of our community."
Yonkers NNORC is a group of residential dwellings (single family homes and apartments less than six stories), in Northeast Yonkers that were not originally built for older adults, but now are home to a significant number of seniors. The program encompasses most of the area of Yonkers between Central Park Avenue and the Bronx River Parkway, as well as a portion of Tuckahoe Road, including Bryn Mawr Ridge apartment complex. Yonkers NNORC will serve approximately 4,000 seniors in the designated area.
Seth Diamond, CEO of Westchester Jewish Community Services, stated, "We are proud to be a part of the team bringing to life Westchester's first NORC. We look forward to working with Mayor Spano and his administration to provide Yonkers seniors with the health, wellness and support services they need to lead more enriched lives."
Yonkers NNORC will provide case management, information and assistance, healthcare management and healthcare assistance and monitoring. Optional services may also include transportation, telephone reassurance, shopping assistance, educational and recreational programs, and health promotions.
Yonkers City Council Minority Leader Mike Breen said, "I am extremely grateful that Mayor Spano through his Office of the Aging obtained a grant which recognizes the importance of keeping the senior population in their homes by bringing the services to them. The grant's target area, which is overwhelmingly within the community I represent, will be well served by this new source of funding."
The program will be managed by Kelly Chiarella from Yonkers Office of the Aging and Judy Fink LCSW, Director of Geriatric Services at WJCS, assisted by the NNORC Coordinator, Sally Pinto, as well as a case manager and part-time licensed practical nurse.
This project is funded through the New York State Office for the Aging, United States Department of Health and Human Services, Yonkers Office for the Aging and Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS). Its contents are solely the responsibility of the grantee and do not necessarily represent the official view of the New York State Office for the Aging.
The NNORC grant provides for five years of services, beginning January 2020.

24/7 Emergency Service 951.776.9700
Slab leaks can become a major problem if not addressed correctly by a professional. Water pipes that leak below the slab of a house can be very frustrating to homeowners when it's hard to know exactly where the leak is or how big the problem is. Very old pipes, damaged copper or defective polybutene pipes, will eventually leak. Schedule a Leak Detection appointment to avoid unnecessary damage to your home.
Call today for your free leak inspection.
To put it simply, a slab leak is water or fluid leaking through pipes installed in to or under the concrete slab. Since buildings are often constructed on these slabs, the plumbing for a home or a business go under the foundation. A slab leak may indicate that the foundation may have moved if it's cracked and outside water is leaking in or the pipes below the concrete broke. Slab leak that goes undetected, can further cause damage to the foundation or slab creating an air pocket and weaken the concrete further, pulling the pipes and potentially causing even more damage. Don't wait to find out what's going on below your home.
Call us today for your water damage,
leak detection, and restoration needs
or send us an email.

OTTAWA—Global Affairs Canada says it has had a second meeting in as many days with Canadians detained in China.
In a written statement, the department says consular officials in China visited with entrepreneur Michael Spavor on Tuesday for the fourth time since his arrest.
On Monday, the department said it had a fourth consular visit with Michael Kovrig, a Canadian diplomat on leave from the foreign service.
Both men were detained by China in December on allegations they violated national security.
Global Affairs Canada says it can't release any more specific information about the meetings due to privacy laws.
The department says consular visits generally involve assessing the well-being of a Canadian citizen, getting them medical attention where required, and being a communications bridge between the Canadian and their loved ones.
The statement says the government remains concerned by China's "arbitrary detention" of Spavor and Kovrig and continue to call for their immediate release.
Kovrig and Spavor haven't been formally charged with anything, have been denied access to lawyers, and are allowed only monthly access by Canadian diplomats.
Canadian officials have complained the two are being held in retaliation for the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou under an extradition request from the United States.

Seminar Center for Global Humanities Lecture/Seminar Series
Our civically trained desire to see the US President as "the most powerful man in the world" has had the effect of allowing individual presidents incrementally, and steadily, to increase the power of that branch, most recently in the aftermath of 9/11, when Congress gave to the Executive their branch's right to supervise war powers (a Constitutional power which Congress has in fact not exercised since December 8, 1941). Professor Nelson's talk focuses on how post-Reagan US Presidentialism promulgates war as a structure of democratic feeling. She develops her argument by looking at how the United States' military presidency has recreated politics as war and at the traction an extraordinary theory of executive power (the so-called "unitary executive") has been able to gain within our militarized political culture.
Dana D. Nelson is Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of English at Vanderbilt University and a prominent progressive advocate for citizenship and democracy. She is notable for her criticism in her books such as Bad for Democracy of excessive presidential power and for exposing a tendency by Americans to neglect basic citizenship duties while hoping the president will solve most problems, or presidentialism. Her scholarship focuses on early American literature relating to citizenship and democratic government.

Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, announced Astex Pharmaceuticals, a leader in innovative drug discovery and development, selected the Thermo Scientific Glacios Cryo Transmission Electron Microscope (Cryo-TEM) to aid in its drug discovery and development program.
Astex's research focuses on oncology and diseases of the central nervous system. They will install the Glacios Cryo-TEM at their research and development headquarters in Cambridge, UK.
Astex is one of five pharmaceutical companies participating with Thermo Fisher in the Cambridge Pharmaceutical Cryo-EM Consortium. Designed-in connectivity between the Glacios Cryo-TEM and the high-performance Thermo Scientific Krios Cryo-TEM system, located at nearby Cambridge University, will allow researchers to optimize their productivity. Scientists will be able to first prescreen samples on the Glacios Cryo-TEM to find the best quality samples before advancing to the higher resolution imaging on the Krios Cryo-TEM.
"The acceptance and adoption of Thermo Scientific cryo-EMs within the pharmaceutical industry has accelerated over the last year, and we are pleased the Glacios will be part of the vital research Astex is undertaking," said Mike Shafer, president, materials and structural analysis, Thermo Fisher. "The Glacios is a critical step in accelerating the workflow process for scientists researching pharmaceutical solutions for treating diseases."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – Greg Gardner and his wife go into one of their favorite restaurants regularly.
"Hash browns, triple order, slathered, smothered, covered, diced, chunked, topped, capped and country," he says of his Waffle House order, laughing.
They aren't the only ones in their party – Ganja, Gardner's diabetic alert service dog, comes, too.
But a visit to Waffle House on Stetson Drive early Monday morning after a long work night left them frustrated, he says, and embarrassed.
"And I tried to explain that the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't require that," Gardner says.
"At that point, I was a little put off," he says. "That I basically was being asked to leave because I have a disability."
"A minute later, they walked over and very abruptly yanked the food out from under us as we were still eating it."
"Her command when we go to a restaurant is 'under,'" he says. "That means she goes under the table, and lays down. Often times, we go to a restaurant and the waitress doesn't even know there's a dog under there, until we're leaving."
"My wife and I own a company, and I wouldn't want someone to judge our company on the interaction of one employee," he says. "So, I'm going to continue to eat at Waffle House, my wife and I are probably going to eat at Waffle House tonight."
The representative says Waffle House regrets that this situation happened, and his team is going to follow up with employees to make sure everyone knows the proper protocol.

1) The best astrologers…meaning those whose company you might enjoy over an adult refreshment…all at first fought their acceptance of astrology.
You don't come into this life championing the notion that other celestial bodies have an influence upon your life on earth. And you don't suddenly become super-credulous when a newspaper horoscope has a grain of personal truth. If you have any character at all, you resist the ridiculousness of the astrological premise until the universe just flat wears you out with insight and evidence; and even then you reserve the right to doubt. At least this is true of the astrologers with whom I personally drink.
2) Astrology is not a science. Astrology is not a religion. Astrology is an art.
Astrologers fall down the rabbit hole when they attempt to answer the question "do you believe?" Any answer to this question casts the astrologer as a heretic or a fool. As a practicing astrologer for some years now, I have come to regard myself as a reader and interpreter of symbols suggested by the position of objects in the skies. The analogy that suits the process best is that of an artistic performance. 'Magic' does enter the equation when that performance resonates deeply with the individual to whom the sky patterns are related. It is exactly the same as someone hearing a song performed to which they have a personal connection…it may be poignant, funny, enlightening, perhaps a bit synchronistic, but hardly an experience one would categorize as a "belief." So do I believe in astrology? I don't know; do you believe in music?
3) What the average person doesn't know about astrology could fit a large universe.
Reading one's sun-sign horoscope in the newspaper (which appears on the comics page for a very good reason) does not qualify one as versed in astrology. Scientists who demean the field on the basis of the simple enthusiasm some people bring to this banal activity are equivalent to music critics assailing the value of a hypothetical orchestra that only plays Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Astrology is far more appropriately evaluated as a handmaiden of history since the dawn of human thought; it is a vested adjunct to such fields as mathematics, astronomy and countless others ranging from medicine to military strategy since their inception; and it is quite notably the eccentric twin of psychology since that field's relatively modern birth. The complexity of the 5,000 year-old astrological canon…containing its various historical traditions, its truly staggering number of techniques and formats, its vivid participation in constantly evolving natural discovery…renders the field as vast and compelling as the universe itself. By definition, sort of.
4) People at least as smart and successful as you have paid astrology some serious attention.
Even the casual fan of astrology is likely to know some of the great historical names engaged with astrology. It is certifiably true that America's first billionaire, J.P. Morgan, was very enthusiastic about the contributions of his astrologer, Evangeline Adams ("Millionaires don't have astrologers. Billionaires do.") Nancy and Ronald Reagan, despite after-the-fact equivocations, were obviously consulting with the estimable astrologer Joan Quigley regarding appointments, both temporal and political. The great psychologist Carl Jung, although prudently cautious in his assessment, was still moved to characterize astrology as the collected psychological knowledge of antiquity. Other documented examples from fashion industry CEO's to music industry moguls to world champion soccer coaches are plentiful, but perhaps the most salient connection between success and astrology resides in the mystery of the people you don't know are using it and are keeping it to themselves as their personal "edge." Take it from the guy who convinced the American Management Association to publish a book on the subject of business astrology on the "secrecy" premise…it's the tool you don't know your rival has that will bury you.
5) Astrology can be used to anticipate (not necessarily predict) the future.
It's unfortunate that people tend to lump astrologers and psychics together. While any and all of us human beings may have moments in which we apprehend/forecast clear truths beyond the range of our "normal" senses, astrology is not really that sort of thing. In terms of forecasting, astrology is the pragmatic and skilled reading of a very ancient and intricate clock…part cosmic, part cuckoo, and really rather elegant. The elegance stems from astrology's rich consideration of time, tracking the cyclical "what" rather than merely notating the cyclical "when" of events. This is admittedly a bit to chew on, but there are two very cool things about this: 1) astrology has been tracking personality and event archetypes for over 5,000 years and has thereby created an unparalleled vocabulary for apprehending and discussing the conceptual foundation and timing of human affairs; and 2) in the hands of a qualified practitioner it truly does help to focus personality and event expectations more than "common sense" might allow. Now if we could only do something about free will…

To develop a new air cooling technology for underground mining that will decrease the overall carbon footprint and reduce operating costs, especially as mines deepen and their cooling loads increase.
CEMI is working with MIRARCO to design a system that uses the shaft work from a wind turbine rotor to drive the compressor in an air liquefaction plant. The motivation is that if utilizing wind energy to drive the liquefaction process is practical, work from such a wind turbine would be available at very low marginal cost and with very low CO2, eq emissions – in contrast to liquefaction by means of grid electricity powered liquefaction plants. The research will include determination of the feasibility of using wind powered liquefaction plants to produce liquid air used to cool underground workings (as deep as 2-3 kilometres) and compare this approach with that of conventional mine cooling practice.
Wind turbines and liquefaction plants are established, commercial technologies. It is the integration of these two technologies where innovation arises. An important distinction between conventional liquefaction approaches and the CryoVent approach is the variability and intermittency of wind energy resources that dictate the rate of work input delivered by a wind turbine, versus the steady input delivered by an electric motor.
Can a CryoVent wind turbine system be designed to accommodate the intermittent and variable work input and still produce a relatively steady output rate of cryogen? Development of a numerical model of the liquefaction process to assess system performance has been completed. Predicted performance will be verified using a proof-of-concept laboratory scale rig assembled at Laurentian University. SCADA data from two Vestas V52s wind turbines, held by the Camborne School of Mines at the University of Exeter, UK, will be used to characterize the variability in torque and rotational speed from direct observations to drive the rig variably, while the output cryogen production rate is monitored.
This project has the potential to deliver a compact, renewable energy technology to the mining industry that will result in lower overall operating costs as well as a cleaner operation. CEMI has provided funding to support Saruna Kunwar's work on the project; funding for equipment has been secured from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund.

Alzheimer's disease is a brain
disorder correlated with major
reductions of neurons to the respective target areas
and named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer's
destroys brain cells, causing cognitive modalities severe enough to affect language communication, memory,
lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and
it is fatal.
According to statistic, over 25 million people in the world today are affected by dementia and most are suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It may be results of cigarette smoking, midlife high blood pressure and obesity, diabetes,
and cerebrovascular lesions) and the possible beneficial roles of
psychosocial factors (eg, high education, active social engagement,
physical exercise, and mentally stimulating activity)(1)
Strong evidences emerged in epidemiological studies suggested that
certain herbs(2) may have potential in reduced risk and treatments of
Alzheimer's disease but geographic source of the plant material,
and time of harvest may effect their effectiveness. It is understandable
that commercially available herbal medicinal products with the same
ingredients vary in their content and concentration of chemical
constituents when compared between manufacturers.
Ginseng is a slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, the genus
Panax, belonging to the family Araliaceae. Depending to the climate
where it grows, ginseng can be classified mainly into Panax ginseng
Asian ginseng (root), Red ginseng, wild ginseng, American ginseng
In an open-label study, conducted by Seoul National University
Hospital, Ginseng improved ADAS and MMSE scores declined and may be
considered as clinically effective in the cognitive performance of AD
patients(7). Other study also showed the effect of KRG on cognitive
functions which was sustained for 2 yr follow-up and may be an
indication of a feasible efficacy of long-term follow-up for Alzheimer's disease(9). Korean red ginseng (KRG) in high doses, significant improved on the ADAS and CDR after 12 weeks(8). Unfortunately, Study by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine, on Mini-Mental Status and the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS)-cognitive, showed inconclusive in the result of the efficacy of Ginseng(10).

Lwrence L. Piersol UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, Thomas Kinter, is an inmate at the Mike Durfee State Prison in Springfield, South Dakota. Plaintiff filed a pro se civil rights lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C § 1983. Docket 1. The court has now screened Kinter's complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. For the reasons stated below, Kinter is granted leave to amend his complaint.
In December 2015, Kinter was incarcerated at the Jameson Annex of the South Dakota State Penitentiary (SDSP). Docket 1 at
¶ 14. On December 30, 2015, Kinter's cell was searched, and CO. Shoemaker confiscated Kinter's migraine medication. Id. at ¶15. He asked Shoemaker to give him his medication and take him to the medical department because he was having a migraine, causing him severe pain. Id. at ¶16.
He asked another corrections officer, CO. Thayer, numerous times to take him to medical and give him back his medication. Id. at ¶ 18-20. Over time, Thayer's response escalated from mocking Kinter to eventually opening the cell and handcuffing Kinter. Id. at ¶¶ 18-21. Thayer put Kinter in a holding cell. Id. at ¶ 22.
While in the holding cell, Kinter again asked to be taken to medical. Id. at ¶ 23. Thayer angrily pushed Kinter, and he fell back and hit the wall, knocking him unconscious. Id. at ¶ 23-24. Kinter was taken to the segregated housing unit (SHU), barely conscious and asking to be taken to medical the entire time. Id. at ¶ 26.
When he arrived at SHU, Kinter was stripped searched. Id. at ¶ 27. While he was being searched, he heard correctional officers saying, "[P]ut him in with Spotted Elk. [H]e will like that." Id. Kinter was celled with Spotted Elk. Id. at ¶ 28. Spotted Elk immediately began to threaten Kinter, saying that all white people are worthless. Id. Kinter could not sleep for fear of Spotted Elk, who took Kinter's food and would not allow him to get off the bunk or use the bathroom. Id. at ¶ 29. The next day, Spotted Elk began to push and slap Kinter, threatening to kill him. Id. at ¶ 30. Kinter called the correctional officers, who brought him to a holding cell. Id. at ¶ 31. When the correctional officers tried to re-cell Kinter with Spotted Elk, Kinter refused and was written up. Id. at ¶¶ 32-33.
Kinter was in the SHU for five days. Id. at ¶ 34. He was never taken to medical. Id. He was never given care for his concussion. Id. While in the SHU, Kinter's headaches were so bad that he couldn't eat, he became sick, he was dizzy, and his vision was blurred. Id. at ¶ 35.
While he was in the SHU, Kinter was given a hearing concerning his punishment. Id. at ¶ 48. Because of his injuries, he does not remember the hearing. Id. He requested that a fellow inmate named Wyrich be called as a witness. Id. at ¶ 49. Prison officials refused. Id. They merely provided a written statement from Kinter's cellmate. Id. Afterward, Kinter asked Seth Hughes, his representative at the hearing, for grievance forms, so he could complain about the hearing, but Hughes refused. Id. at ¶ 50. Hughes told Kinter it did not matter because Thayer had already been fired. Id. at ¶ 51. Hughes was the prison official who responded to Kinter's grievance. Id. at ¶ 52.
After Kinter was released from the SHU, he went to sick call. Id. at 1 38. The medical department told him there was nothing they could do and returned him to his cell. Id. at¶ 39. He went to medical at SDSP seeking treatment many more times but was never treated for his headaches. Id. at ¶ 40.
In January 2016, Kinter was transferred to Mike Durfee State Prison (MDSP). Id. at ¶ 41. He has been to sick call many times at MDSP, but has not received treatment he feels is adequate. Id. at ¶¶ 42-43, 45. He had a CAT scan taken, but was never called for the result. Id. at ¶ 42. Besides this, he was only given a cold washcloth to put on his head and Tylenol, which does not help his pain. Id. at ¶¶ 43, 45. Ever since he was knocked unconscious by Thayer, he has had problems with memory loss that have affected his school work. Id. at ¶ 47.
Kinter attempted to exhaust his administrative remedies at both SDSP and MDSP. Id. at ¶ 54. He received the forms necessary for his appeal too late, and when he tried to file his appeal, he was told he was not allowed to appeal any longer. Id. at ¶¶ 55-56, 60-62. Because of his transfer and the time it took prison officials to respond to his grievance, he could not have timely filed his appeals. Id. at ¶ 63. Tammy DeJong also told him he could not grieve issues that happened in the Jameson Annex of SDSP. Id. at ¶ 57.
On April 6, 2016, Kinter filed this complaint. Id. He alleges that defendants violated his Eighth amendment rights by denying him access to medical care, taunting him, assaulting him, and housing him with a dangerous cellmate. Id. at ¶¶ 68-70, 73. He alleges that his due process rights were violated when he was sent to the SHU without breaking a prison rule, when he was disciplined for refusing housing, when the prison did not call his witness and conducted the hearing when he was unable to understand or participate, and when Hughes responded to his grievance concerning his disciplinary hearing. Id. at ¶ 72, 74-75, 77. ...

Deadmen Walking
A Deadman's Cross Novel
- $8.99
- $8.99
Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon debuts a sweeping new epic saga sure to appeal to her millions of fans!
Deadmen tell their tales . . .
To catch evil, it takes evil. Enter Devyl Bane– an ancient dark warlord returned to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the New World. A man of many secrets, Bane makes a pact with Thorn– an immortal charged with securing the worst creations the ancient gods ever released into our world. Those powers have been imprisoned for eons behind enchanted gates . . . gates that are beginning to buckle. At Thorn's behest, Bane takes command of a crew of Deadmen and, together, they are humanity's last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their hell realms.
But things are never so simple. And one of Bane's biggest problems is the ship they sail upon. For the Sea Witch isn't just a vessel, she's also a woman born of an ancient people he wronged and who in turn wronged him during a centuries long war between their two races— a woman who is also sister to their primary target. Now Marcelina, the Sea Witch, must choose. Either she remains loyal to her evil sister and almost extinct race against Bane and his cause, and watches humanity fall, or she puts faith in an enemy who has already betrayed her. Her people over the totality of humanity— let's hope Bane can sway her favor.
Deadmen Walking is the first historical fantasy title in New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon's Deadman's Cross series. It is a tale of passion and loss, emotions that wound and heal…and ultimate redemption
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Customer ReviewsSee All
Readers! Start at the beginning!
Great writing, as always! Kenyon has created one heck of a unique world, with characters that are relatable, interesting and always evolving.
However, in this new series, if one isn't familiar with her other works, it may become quite confusing as she references a lot of characters and ongoing plot lines from past books that are really important!
I don't want new readers to throw up their hands and say, "Nope, not for me!"
-Just a heads up-
Start with her earlier work, including "Chronicles of Nick", "Dark Hunters" & "Dream Hunters".
Of course, her first book starts off with "Fantasy Lover".
You won't be disappointed.
Captivating, spellbinding, and fascinating!
Well, I just finished Deadmen Walking and I can only think of two words: Hot D*mn! That ending was wild and I can't wait for the next book in the Deadmen's Cross series! And if it's of the same caliber as this one, I can't even imagine what's going to happen next. Deadmen Cross was an outstanding book and I wholeheartedly loved it!
I wasn't too happy when Mara was resisting my guy, Devyl, here, but other than that I really enjoyed her as the heroine. She's a kind, gentle, sweet soul - well, she is around pretty much anyone who's not Devyl although she does change her tune. Mara might be calm and kind, but she definitely brings out her fiery, passionate side when she needs to. Mara isn't afraid to stand up to Devyl, she's fiercely loyal, and a light in the world.
I never have a problem falling in love with Sherrilyn Kenyon's heroes and Devyl was no different. The man stole my heart from the first and he only pulled me deeper under his spell the longer the tale went on. Devyl might scary and intimidating and a total bada*s, but while I loved all that, it was his tortured soul, his heartbreaking sweetness and his yearning desire to love and be loved that completely did me in. Devyl would do absolutely anything for Mara and there's so much good in him, he deserves every happiness. Devyl is just amazing and my heart wholly belongs to him.
I haven't read Ms. Kenyon as frequently as I would like lately, but even with those pauses, Deadmen Walking is still unlike anything I've read from her in awhile. It was captivating, spellbinding, and fascinating. It was heart wrenching, gut punching, and maddening, but there was humor, beauty, and a lightness to it too. This Deadmen's Cross World is so elaborate, you are really sucked in and can witness everything happening. Deadmen Walking was truly a masterpiece and I fell utterly in love with it!
Deadmen Walking is the first book in this trilogy, it's told from multiple points of view, and while Devyl and Mara get their happy ending - you will without a doubt be left wanting more!

From homeless to congress, this military family continues to serve
by Project Sanctuary
They were tired. Seeking hope. In need of a reset.
For Nicki and Jeff Swindle and their children, something had to give.
Jeff had deployed twice to Iraq, returning from his second tour with post traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury – forever changing his life. Nicki had just returned from Iraq herself, serving as a Department of the Army Civilian in support of Iraqi Freedom.
They were exhausted and needed help, so they called Project Sanctuary for support. At Project Sanctuary, we believe that the everyone has the right and the ability to heal. Through six-day therapeutic retreats and two years of follow up support services, we empower service members and their families to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and ultimately with their communities, restoring resiliency and purpose. And that purpose is often continued service to their communities and their country.
When the Swindles arrived at their retreat, they felt anxious. It took a little time to relax, but once they did, they were able to reconnect with one another in ways they could not have imagined.
"What impressed me most was that nothing was demanded from us," recalls Jeff. "The last thing a military family needs is to have more demands."
But it was after the retreat ended that the Swindles realized their greatest breakthrough. "Jeff was in the process of separating from the Army medically, and we had no place to live," remembers Nicki. "We were temporarily homeless, living out of our travel trailer. Project Sanctuary took care of us, helping with follow-on care and gas cards when we had no money."
Once on their feet, Jeff, Nicki and their children reached out again, this time to give back by serving as Project Sanctuary volunteers. "We wanted an opportunity to feel 'whole'", Nicki explained, and through volunteerism, the family felt a sense of restoration.
Since their family retreat, Jeff, Nicki and their children have gone on to provide volunteer support at five additional Project Sanctuary retreats, supporting other military families beginning their own reconnection journeys.
And they didn't stop there. The Swindles became foster parents and have cared for more than 20 children to date. Their oldest son, Hunter, enlisted in the Army and deployed for a year to Iraq and Kuwait. Nicki, feeling called to serve in another way, commissioned in the Alabama Army National Guard as a chaplain candidate and is now running for public office – a House seat in their home state of Alabama. And the Swindles younger son, Drake, has taken his oath and enlisted in the Army as well, waiting to deploy. No matter where their lives take them, they keep in touch and keep coming back to serve with Project Sanctuary. Because they truly understand that given a chance, hope and healing are possible for all.
"It has been so powerful to be able to give back, particularly to families who arrive like ours – with their guard up," said Nicki. "I feel like Project Sanctuary is family, and I feel like I'm home when I go to volunteer."
More than 2,400 at-risk military families have taken the first step toward hope and healing by reaching out to Project Sanctuary and are currently waiting to begin our program. To learn more about how we are changing the way military families heal, visit our website: www.ProjectSanctuary.us.

AT&T's potential deal to acquire DirecTV will strike many as puzzling, given the deal's inability to directly affect either AT&T's mobile business, its international profile or fixed network business.
To some extent, the potential bid has been triggered by the Comcast bid to buy Time Warner Cable, a deal that would vault Comcast clearly into leadership of the U.S. high speed access business, though keeping its overall video subscriber market share below a 30-percent level that draws regulatory scrutiny.
When a key competitor in a supplier's core market makes a move that promises to make it stronger and bigger, rivals typically have to respond.
To be sure, AT&T might well have preferred an opportunity to expand internationally. But deals large enough to make a difference, available at reasonable cost and relatively likely to win regulatory approval arguably did not exist.
|source: National Broadband Plan
And a new threat in its core market likely also affected strategic thinking. As difficult as "broadband" and "video" have been for U.S. telcos, in terms of capital investment intensity and financial return, it now is clear that the future of fixed networks is bound with high speed access and video entertainment.
And in that sense, AT&T has to take seriously a jump in market share for high speed access, by Comcast, to 40 percent of the U.S. market, making Comcast the undisputed market leader.
That has strategic implications for all other major competing service providers.
To the extent that fixed networks have a clear value and rationale, it is as suppliers of the highest-bandwidth platform, delivering connectivity at the lowest cost of any platform, on a cost-per-bit basis.
|Source: UBS
In that regard, it is high speed access itself which becomes the foundation service, but video entertainment has emerged as the lead application for such a network, beyond Internet access.
Perhaps not far behind is the value of the fixed network as a means for offloading traffic from a mobile network, the most-important indirect driver of value for the fixed network.
So it is not so much Comcast's gain in video subscriber share that are most important, from AT&T's perspective. It is the immediate market share lead in high speed access which is most important.
What is very clear is that, with a few exceptions (Verizon FiOS and Google Fiber, plus a few independent ISPs), cable-provided high speed access operates faster than telco high speed access. Cable TV suppliers also are winning the battle in terms of net new high speed additions as well.
Some might argue that acquiring DirecTV does very little to help AT&T extend its potential high speed access footprint. That is true.
But there are other important elements. DirecTV would supply high-margin revenue and cash flow that AT&T can use to upgrade its fixed networks for faster speeds and video services.
And there are few acquisitions AT&T actually can make in the U.S. market in its core triple play and quadruple play markets. Regulators already rejected AT&T's effort to buy T-Mobile US, as that was deemed to reduce mobile competition too much.
And AT&T has, since 2006, not been in the market to expand its overall fixed network footprint for several reasons. Higher returns from mobile services are a primary reason. But market share issues exist.
|source: http://www.leichtmanresearch.com/press/031714release.html
AT&T's fixed network market share (looking only at the telephone industry), measuring either by subscribers or revenue, is the highest of any telco, reaching more than 40 percent share of voice or high speed access connections.
AT&T's fixed network passes about 50 million U.S. homes, or about 42 percent of total U.S. homes.
AT&T holds about 47 percent of "telco" high speed market share, for example, though only about 20 percent of total U.S. ISP high speed access accounts.
The point is that, within the U.S. telephone industry, AT&T already arguably has reached a size where any further acquisitions would be challenged on competitive grounds.
The upshot is that AT&T cannot easily make domestic acquisitions in the fixed network or mobile realms. Buying DirecTV, though, changes only AT&T's small video service market share.
In 2013, for example, AT&T had only about six percent share of the linear video subscription business. DirecTV had about 21 percent share. So a combined entity would have only about 27 percent market share.
The point is that AT&T would face far fewer regulatory opposition by making a DirecTV acquisition, and almost no chance of approval were AT&T to propose buying additional mobile or fixed network market share.
The other issue is that AT&T (originally SBC) has grown primarily through acquisition, not organic growth.
AT&T bought Pacific Telesis for $16.6 billion in 1997, Ameritech for $73.2 billion in 1999, AT&T for $16.1 billion in 2005 and BellSouth for $85.2 billion in 2006. Those deals primarily gres its fixed network business.
AT&T Mobility similarly was built on acquisitions. In 2000 BellSouth Mobility and SBC merged to form Cingular. In 2004 AT&T Wireless was bought. IN 2006 AT&T Mobility acquired the former BellSouth interest in Cingular.
AT&T Mobility also acquired Dobson in 2008 and and Centennial in 2009, as well as Leap in 2014, with the failed bid for T-Mobile US in 2011.
A DirecTV acquisition is one of the few deals of any magnitude that AT&T can make, with hopes of winning approval.
The bid might seem puzzling. It really isn't.

Barton Springs Pool is a historical staple in the city of Austin. Located within Zilker Park, the location is easy to find and even has easy accessible parking. Now with that being said, it is recommended to arrive somewhat early in the day if you don't want to be resorted to fishing for a parking spot or waiting in long lines to enter the pool.
Once inside, take your time enjoying a nice relaxing day swimming in the chilly spring-fed waters sourced from the Edwards Aquifer. A grassy hill flanks the pool on both sides and has plenty of shady spots, thanks to the trees, to lay out towels and other belongings. Depths in the water vary from 0ft to 18ft in some parts. There is also a diving board located near the center of the pool which kids and the kids at heart will love.
The pool is also home to the endangered Barton Springs Salamander and is a protected habitat for this reason. Also available is an educational exhibit where visitors can learn about the history and biology of Barton Springs.

So I should be able to spend the day studying today, and get some things for the trip, but my dumbass husband decided to steal my debit card today to get gas money and proceeded to enter the incorrect PIN number over and over and it locked my debit card, since its a bank in transition its hard to get anyone on the phone in customer service and the closest branch is over 22 miles away... no big deal you say? Well, it wouldn't be if my gas light were not already on! Yikes... so yeah not only do I have to ask my kid for some cash to just put enough gas in to get to the bank, I have to deal with the bank and hope they can reactivate the card, and not just send me a new PIN via mail, blah blah blah, because I am leaving in TWO DAYS! To top that off I'll have to go and pick him up from work, whenever it is that he gets out today because he couldn't put gas in his car!
Oh well, if it were not complicated it would not be my life!

Emerald City!

The word emerald comes from an old French word esmeraude which was loosely translated from a variant of Latin smaragdus. And, apparently, they stole the word from the Ancient Greeks. Basically, it simply means "green gem", not very inspiring I know. … More Emerald City!

Oh the dreaded two words of that thing, that happen to almost all writers. Don't we have this happen to all of us? Don't we all who write, be it just a grocery list, had a moment where we just did not know how to put words on paper?
Wikipedia tells me that a writer's block is a condition in which a writer loses the ability to write. Wikipedia explains it all, actually the one person, that posted the info on Wikipedia did. We all who had it in some extend, know how it feels. For me it is sitting in front off the screen, looking at the empty white and not be able to allow my fingers to do their magic on the keyboard. Often my right hand deviates to the mouse and clickety-click I am on one or other site reading instead of writing. After a while I feel bad and I go back staring at my text editor, the blank space begging me to fill it with words. Demanding me to create and put on paper; the worlds, characters, dialog and occasional murderous monsters that dwell in my mind.
Despite the immense desire to write, at that exact moment I just do not know how to. At times the thoughts race through my head incoherent, which should be first and in what order, other times it is just a white noise in my head. The time ticks away and with each consecutive tick my window to write narrows down. Time is not your friend in those times. I then stress to put something on paper to progress my book, to finish it. This feeling for me only increases the block. Sometimes I near despair and feel a knot in my stomach which grows bigger and bigger, expanding till I may explode.
Well I have to say, it sound worse than it really is for me. I may have writer's block from time to time, but it does not last a long period. I am in a way lucky. I heard that for some writers it can last ages and can ruin their careers. I can imagine that being possible. The little taste I get from time to time, is intense and I do not want to imagine how it would be if it went on for days. I am not sure I could handle that. I had times I did not write for weeks even months but never cause of a block. Those times it would be because of work or issues I had to deal with, which ate all my precious time. That's also frustrating, but it's different. The idea of every day trying to write but not being able scares me. I am glad it does not happen to me for days. (knock on wood) The hours I battle with not writing is anguish enough.
Before writing this piece I had one of those mini blocks. I sat in front of my screen, ready to start on this blog post. It was eight in the evening. The kids were sleeping (still are) and my wife went to bed early. I had all the silence I desired and nobody who would bother me for my attention. Still I stared at the screen, the feelings I described, I felt them all for one whole hour. Not a single word in that hour. I went to a forum I frequent to distract myself and try post something to get myself going, I could not. Nothing came to me, just a blank mind, ideas coming to it's border and just disappearing when touched by the blankness.
How did I deal with it today? I stood up and walked upstairs to my bedroom (the attic). I went to my sleeping wife (actually she was awake but I did not know yet) I hugged and kissed her and she giggled. She asked me if I was in a writing flow. I muttered something about a writer block and went back down. Again in front of an empty screen. I just started to write, starting with the title: Writer' s Block.
How do I normally deal with it? After going to the motions, I just decide to write anything. I force my fingers to type the words, all be it the 'abc'. It takes some willpower to endure the bad feelings that comes up and to decide not to give a &^%$ if you write well, good or if it has anything to do with the story. I will just write and eventually I get back into the flow. Once back in the flow I correct the craziness I wrote and pick up where I left. Sometimes the craziness I write, at moments like this, is not all that bad and I keep it.
Every writer has their own way to deal with it and for those that don't maybe my way may could help. Put the care away and press the any key.

Ha-Lo Industries Inc. is considering selling its marketing services businesses in an attempt to boost its depressed stock price.
Ha-Lo mulling divestitures as stock lags
The move would mark a departure from a strategy Ha-Lo launched just a few years ago to diversify beyond its core promotional products business. It pursued that goal through a $200-million buyout campaign that included the 1998 acquisitions of Upshot, a marketing promotion agency, and Lipson Alport Glass & Associates (LAGA), a brand identity and package design firm.
Now, the Niles-based company is deciding whether to divest those businesses after being approached in recent months by potential buyers, says a person familiar with the situation.
Ha-Lo has "received a lot of interest in these properties, and that's actually what started it," this person says. A Ha-Lo spokeswoman declined to comment.
Analysts say the move makes sense, considering that Ha-Lo's market capitalization is about $220 million and the marketing services business could fetch anywhere from $200 million to $300 million.
Ha-Lo's stock, weighed down by disappointing financial results and skepticism about the company's Internet strategy, is trading at about $3.50, near a five-year low and well off the 12-month high of $12.69 it reached in January.
"When you have a stock going from $20 to $3.50, it doesn't take a lot of rationale to place a non-core division on the market that a lot of advertising companies might be interested in," says Douglas M. Arthur, an analyst at New York's Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.
The divestitures also would enable Ha-Lo to focus on its strategy to move much of its promotional products business onto the Internet. In May, the company paid $240 million in cash, stock and preferred stock for Starbelly.com, an Internet promotional products company.
Ha-Lo also could use the proceeds from any divestitures to buy back stock, boost its cash reserves or pay off debt. In addition, the company may need to come up with about $51 million next May to redeem preferred stock issued in the Starbelly deal.
Lou Weisbach, Ha-Lo's found-er and chairman, says only: "I have no comment other than to say that Ha-Lo has a responsibility to look at other options to increase shareholder value."
Mr. Weisbach was the architect of the company's plan to create cross-selling opportunities by acquiring the marketing services businesses.
Internet-driven shift
Ha-Lo bought Market USA, a Chicago-based telemarketing firm, in 1996 for $67 million in cash. In 1998, it paid about $70 million in stock for Chicago-based Upshot and an estimated $49 million in stock for New York-based LAGA.
Ha-Lo's marketing services businesses accounted for about 24%, or $157.2 million, of its $650.4 million in sales last year.
Ha-Lo's spokeswoman insists the company's diversification strategy has worked, noting by way of example that vodka maker Absolut, an Upshot client, now buys promotional merchandise from Ha-Lo.
Yet the Internet forced Ha-Lo to rethink its business. By late 1999, other promotional merchandise companies were moving their operations online, and Ha-Lo, the largest company in the $12-billion industry, didn't want to be left behind. So, it bought Starbelly.com in May, giving it the Internet capability it had lacked.
Critics say Ha-Lo overpaid for Starbelly, and skeptical investors have helped push the stock down more than 72% this year. The company is expected to report losses this year and next as it amortizes the goodwill costs from the acquisition.
For the first nine months of 2000, Ha-Lo posted a net loss of $33.9 million, or 59 cents a share, compared with a loss of $15.5 million, or 32 cents a share, in the year-earlier period. Sales rose 11% to $513.9 million.
Ha-Lo has also reshuffled its executive suite, tapping former Upshot co-owner John Kelley to succeed Mr. Weisbach as CEO, and naming Starbelly's former CEO, Bradley Keywell, president.
Alexander Paris Jr., an analyst at Barrington Research Associates Inc. in Chicago, says he raised the question of divesting the marketing services businesses in a recent conversation with Mr. Keywell.
"Brad Keywell said, 'All we have publicly stated is we're going to consider our options for the marketing services business,' " Mr. Paris says.
Mr. Keywell, through Ha-Lo's spokeswoman, denied using those words.
Future cash need
Though Ha-Lo is losing money, it's not in dire financial straits. Still, it could use the cash. It had $9 million in cash at the end of September and had used $68 million of an $80-million line of credit.
The company may need more cash in May, when a group of former Starbelly shareholders, including Mr. Keywell, have the option to redeem about $51 million in preferred stock they received in the acquisition. Selling a couple of businesses would raise the money to pay those shareholders off.
"They don't need (the money) desperately," Mr. Paris says. "But I think I would be more comfortable if they had $200 million in the bank."

Texas A&M swimmer Jonathan Tybur doesn't let ulcerative colitis stop his drive
Junior fights way into nationals in breaststroke
COLLEGE STATION - Texas A&M junior Jonathan Tybur will compete in the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championship starting Friday in Indianapolis, and he's entering his two breaststroke competitions with goggled eyes opened wide.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Tybur said. "But I know it's going to be amazing."
It already is. A little more than five years ago, Tybur was turning heads in pools around The Woodlands as a sophomore at College Park High.
"I was training to make the United States Olympic Trials," Tybur said.
That's when Tybur's biggest trial began, one that's ongoing against an incurable disease.
"I started noticing blood in my stool," he said of when he was 15 and in the middle of his sophomore year. "I was starting to feel weaker overall, and I started using the bathroom more frequently. Ten times a day - sometimes more. I was starting to deteriorate inside. I just kept thinking, 'I'm putting too much stress on myself.' "
He wasn't, but he also kept the occurrences to himself as long as possible.
"I didn't tell my parents at first," he said. "Blood in your stool is not something you're super comfortable talking about."
Tybur finally had no choice, as his shoulders and joints began hurting so badly he agreed to a hospital visit after revealing the symptoms to his parents, Charles and Marcy Tybur.
"It was getting worse, I was losing weight, I couldn't finish practices, I was in a lot of pain," Tybur said. "I told my mom, 'I can't keep living like this, this is bad.' "
An 11-day stay at Texas Children's Hospital in the winter of 2011 revealed he suffered from ulcerative colitis.
"Your immune system attacks the inside of your large intestine," Tybur said. "It was causing me bleeding, swelling and extreme pain.
"Until then, I hadn't had any major health issues. Doctors said it was one of the worst cases they had seen in years."
This is the part where some might bow out of sports competition. This is the part where Tybur pressed on.
"I was 6-1 and 180 pounds before this happened," Tybur said. "Suddenly I was at 147 pounds. I had gone from 8,000-yard practices daily, to a struggle to get to the other side of the pool."
He was no longer among the top swimmers, even in district competition, and this is the part where a seeming curse became at least a bit of a blessing.
"I was really skinny and didn't have any endurance left," he said. "So I had to change my strokes - I had to become really efficient in how I swam, with really good technique and form. That ended up paying off in the long run."
Perfecting technique
About that same time, Tybur began taking immune suppressant drugs through Texas Children's. He also participated in a study through the hospital dealing with a "microbiome transplant" - essentially receiving bacteria injections from healthy donors into his colon, and he said that helped at the time.
"The disease is incurable, they can only put you in remission," Tybur said. "It wasn't like the disease just went away. The immune-suppressant drugs, too, can have pretty bad side effects."
A&M swim coach Jay Holmes marvels at the young man on whom he took a chance, at the urging of Tybur's club and high school coaches in The Woodlands.
"Jonathan works on all of the details while at the same time pushing himself," Holmes said. "He 'out-techniques' all of my guys."
Holmes was skeptical of bringing onboard a swimmer who might need unexpected stays at the hospital. But Tim Bauer, then of The Woodlands Swim Team, wouldn't quit raving about the young man who had battled back from disease to manage a couple of top-three finishes in state competition in the breaststroke.
Along the way in high school, Tybur overcame mononucleosis, damaged tendons in his feet from swimming, a broken hand from playing volleyball, and smashing his face and cracking his teeth in the pool on a diving well.
"Tim told me, 'The kid just kept showing up to the pool every day, even after he'd been in the hospital. You have to take this kid, he's worked so hard and overcome so much. A&M will be a great place for him,' " Holmes said.
Tybur earned a scholarship following his freshman season after walking-on.
Credit to A&M
"Jay went out on a limb to recruit me, A&M really didn't know what it was going to get," Tybur said. "I've been really fortunate these past couple of years to be healthy. For them to give me a shot to swim in college, it means everything to be able to pay them back, and go to the NCAAs."
Following a strong junior season and improvement as a collegian, including an eighth-place finish in the 200-meter breaststroke at the SEC meet, Tybur was invited to compete in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes at college's top level.
"Seeing him compete in the NCAAs is going to be pretty cool," Holmes said. "He's fought his way there. Who knows why he's had this fire - most people would have moved on. There are easier ways to spend your life."
Tybur said his goal has been to show that anyone can press on with his or her dreams despite a diagnosis of an incurable disease.
"I want to look back and say this disease hasn't defined me," Tybur said. "That persevering is what defined me.
"That way I can tell my kids someday that I went through this, and you can still achieve what you want to achieve, despite how bad a medical report is or what people are saying on the sidelines.
"I want to share my story. And, ultimately, I don't want anyone else to have to go through this again."

This is an abstract study I did a while ago. Fall is an easy time to go a little wild with color, and in the sun color can be mesmerizing at peak foliage.
When this picture came up on the screen, I said "oh wow!" out loud. This is really spectacular. You have a real looseness with the pastels and you don't seem to be afraid to experiment. This seems more impressionistic than abstract...maybe a combination of both. Loved the two previous posts as well. Have you seen Marc Hanson's pastels and oils? He is another artist who's work I recently discovered. His plein air work is amazing.ReplyDelete
Great blogs Mary Anne, I particularly like these pastels. I agree with Catherine and would be more inclined to describe them as impressionistic than abstract. The colours are wonderful and vibrant.ReplyDelete

Just Listen: MiAmigo- Hard To Love
Listen to Hard To Love here:
Embarrassing as this is to admit, but I thought I had already posted this beast of a track. I hadn't. I must make amends for the error of my ways as this has been a staple track on my playlist for the last month. MiAmigo bust out some sounds in their track Hard To Love that just make my shoulders do all kinds of angular dancing. There's more than a hint to 80s electronica here, there's a chorus with a hook that's so catchy you'll be singing it for days. If you're anything like me anyway. Get it in your ears now as there's a new one coming up soon from these guys!
Hard To Love is taken from the forthcoming EP of the same name due for release 14th June.

Here's how to make your job a little bit easier, mama:
1. Fill your own cup first
As a parent, you are always taking care of other people. The whirlwind of worry, cooking, feeding, diaper changing, snotty nose wiping, cleaning, scheduling, shopping, working, and sleepless nights leaves you feeling frazzled and drained. The cycle of constantly tending to others' needs leaves no time for your own.
But you can't pour from an empty cup. In reality, serving yourself first will allow you to best serve others. It is not selfish, it's just basic self-respect. Something you want your kids to learn, right?
So find a way to make self-care a priority. The world can wait while you take a little break to go for a walk, read a book, pursue a hobby you enjoy, do some yoga, prep healthy meals, or even take a fantastic nap.
2. Get moving
One of the single most important ways to implement self-care is to exercise. I know, I know, you've heard this one a million times. "But I don't have the energy or time, it's hard, it's boring," you might say.
But it doesn't have to be that complicated. You don't have to spend hours a day, buy expensive equipment, join a class, kill yourself boot camp-style, or even go to the gym (unless that's your thing, of course).
Just get your body moving. Find something that you actually enjoy. Walk, dance, or follow a simple at-home workout plan in your living room. You'll find it invigorating and will be surprised at all the wonderful things it will do in your life, like boost energy and immunity, improve your sleep, and even help you think more clearly. Not to mention you'll be setting a great example for your kids to follow, double win!
3. Let boredom ring
"I'm bored."
Two little words every parent dreads hearing. That phrase sends us into a frenzy of googling activities to do, Pinterest-y snacks to make, local events to go to, and crafts to make out of toilet paper tubes. Then, when our offspring decide none of this stuff is acceptable, we throw up our hands and just give them another hour of screen time.
Why do we think we need to entertain our kids at all times?
Everyone experiences it. No one ever died from it. It's not something you need to protect your children from.
There are actually all kinds of benefits to getting bored. Boredom fosters creativity. When a kid hits that state of nothing left to do, their brain starts really firing. Bored thoughts lead to innovative thoughts, which are a good thing.
They will come up with something to do, no matter how much whining happens first. If they really need help, create a list with them that they can always go back to. If that doesn't work, you can always make a list of chores or ask them to help you clean. Suddenly anything else becomes oh-so-fun!
If they're always handed things to do, how are they ever going to handle themselves? Constant doting and attention can lead to them feeling entitled throughout life. Let them start thinking for themselves.
Remember, learning to amuse themselves helps develop problem-solving skills, motivation, and interests of their own – all contributing to healthy psychological development and a clear sense of self.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to ignore your children. It's great to spend time and do things with them, but it's also okay and even beneficial to let them figure things out for themselves sometimes.
Bonus: You might even be able to get some valuable me-time out of it.
4. Give yourself a time-out
Although you probably can't take a daily nap or excuse yourself from frustrating moments in most situations, you can give yourself a little time out when you need it at home. If you need a break, just go to another room and cool down a bit. Breathe. You'll likely be more reasonable and collected when you come back.
5. Help yourself to some hygge
Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish term meaning "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being." It's likely a factor in why Denmark is considered the happiest country in the world.
Unfortunately, in our fast-paced culture, relaxing can be viewed as laziness or underachievement. Silence your inner critic and anyone else whose opinion you don't need. Taking a break is not only nice, it's necessary.
Just as adequate sleep is vital to overall health and functioning, a hygge-style mental rest can make you feel refreshed, full of joy, and more productive, among other things.
So have a hefty helping of hygge however it suits you. Slow down to savor a mug of hot cocoa or coffee, enjoy family movie night, slip on some warm fuzzy slippers, listen to music, Netflix and chill, go on a date night, get together with friends, bake cookies, chill on the beach…whatever makes you feel comforted and cozy. Try to make this a regular thing in your life. It's a lifestyle, not just an occasional thing.

Nasr, Derani remain at AXR IMSA squad for 2020
Felipe Nasr and Pipo Derani will both remain with the Action Express Racing Cadillac squad for the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, it has been confirmed.
The Brazilian pair will once again race AXR's #31 Cadillac DPi-V.R under the 'Whelen Engineering Racing' banner, Derani having joined the team at the start of this year.
Alongside Eric Curran, who Derani replaced as Nasr's full-time teammate for 2019, the pair won the Sebring 12 Hours in March and sit second in the drivers' standings ahead of this weekend's penultimate round of the season at Laguna Seca.
AXR said a decision has yet to be made on who will accompany Nasr and Derani for the long-distance races at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta next year.
"Action Express is happy that we have been able to announce our 2020 plans for our Whelen Engineering No. 31, with Felipe Nasr and Pipo Derani as full-time drivers," said AXR owner Bob Johnson.
Nasr has tested both LMP1 and IndyCar machinery in recent months, and in July the ex-Sauber Formula 1 racer was also leaving the door open to a return to Formula E after he completed a part-time campaign for Dragon Racing last season.
His AXR renewal appears to close the door on a move to IndyCar, to which he was linked after testing for Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports at Mid-Ohio.
Derani meanwhile made a one-off appearance for the Rebellion Racing LMP1 team in the FIA World Endurance Championship at Silverstone this month, but the Swiss squad's second car won't be raced again until next April's Spa round.
A date change for the Spa race means it is no longer clashing with IMSA's Mid-Ohio round, as it has done in previous years.
AXR said the line-up in its #5 Cadillac, currently driven by Filipe Albuquerque and Joao Barbosa, is not yet fixed as it seeks to finalise sponsorship for the car.
Third at Sebring and victory at Long Beach have been the highlights of an otherwise forgettable season for the Portuguese pair, who lie seventh in the standings.

Magnetic Resonance for Petrophysical Research
Welcome to our Laboratory!
Please, use navigation menu to learn more about us
The main goal of the Laboratory
is to expand the boundaries and conventional applications of the magnetic resonance approaches for petrophysical research. Under the "magnetic resonance approaches" we mean first of all different techniques of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) also known as electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We investigate crude oils and their fractions at different conditions to understand the behaviour of the paramagnetic centres (unpaired electrons) and follow the structure and dynamic changes of the investigated species.
Our Equipment
At present our "working horses" are two EPR spectrometers at Institute of Physics of Kazan Federal University operating at X-band (9 GHz) and W-band (94 GHz) microwave frequencies in the magnetic fields up to 6 T.

Creating engagement and enthusiasm for poetry and the spoken word is often viewed as a struggle by educators, NSW/ACT Organiser Lee Cunningham writes. Millennials are tainted by stereotypical views of 'do they even care' by society. Faced with these two challenges, Bankstown Poetry Slam has managed to involve a whole community and grow to being the largest poetry slam in the southern hemisphere.
Founded by two Western Sydney University students, Sara Mansour and Ahmad Al Rady, Bankstown Poetry Slam, supported by Bankstown Youth Development Service, offers a positive and supportive platform for amateur artists who are willing to share their stories and ideas. Nothing about this poetry slam is censored, and there are no boundaries around how individuals choose to deliver their message. Content of participants' poems are only limited by their own imagination. A single Slam could offer the audience insights into personal ideas and experiences of religion, relationships, racism – and anything in between!
The preparation that goes into each performance involves deep thought, planning and thorough practice, with a large proportion of participants reciting (almost performing) their poems without the use of notes to aid them. With such an array of individual topics broached, it is no surprise that artists are highly emotive and fervent when delivering their spoken word. Artists also often describe the process from planning to performing as cathartic and a release. The progression to performing was even described by one artist as "about how honest you can be to yourself". Bankstown Poetry Slam has unintentionally caused its own participants to be taken on a detailed internal journey of self reflection, all before they actually reach the point of self expression on Slam night.
Everyone connects
Somehow, and almost paradoxically, participant and audience members subsequently report that passionate, individual issues and opinions – once shared – have the power to draw people together. Everyone connects to something in someone else's poem. This sharing of ideas has brought people together so much so, that Bankstown Poetry Slam refers to its diehard supporters 'slamily'. It's no surprise that on Australia Day 2017, Sara Mansour, co-founder of the Slam, was awarded the Young Citizen of the Year by the Canterbury/Bankstown community.
Bankstown Poetry Slam also offers Real Talk, a high school spoken word program which provides education and support so that students can participate in meaningful dialogue which empowers them to find their voice. The program runs over six weeks and involves mentor poets who workshop classes with students. The program is highly successful and students are reported to "really come out of their shells".
The Slam has also branched out to offer a project called Flip the Script at their monthly Poetry Slam event. Flip the Script specifically caters for youth and offers the opportunity for performers 24 years or under to showcase their talents, challenge stereotypes, address issues and action change – with no limits or parameters around what can be performed. There are also no strict time limits or judging, which offers the budding artists a supportive, encouraging environment so that they can have a go.
Bankstown Poetry Slam is held at the Bankstown Arts Centre on the last Tuesday of every month. Typically, over 300 people attend the monthly Slam. Flip the Script is held before the Slam begins and runs from 4-6pm.
