I must tell Jesus all of my trials
|I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me;
He ever loves and cares for His own.
|I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
|I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate Friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
And in my griefs with me He will blend.
|Tempted and tried I need a great Savior,
One who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
He all my cares and sorrows will share,
|O how the world to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus; He will enable
Over the world the vic'try to win.
Karaba, Kenya
My best song
Nairobi, Kenya
I love hymn. I feel blessed.
Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Beautiful song, beautiful words... we need not carry our burdens alone!
Vicenza, Montecchio, Italy
Only Jesus nobody else. I love You Master. You know my weakness, my burdens and in times of trouble I ran to Thee. You the only one that can help and make me feel safer! Yes Lord only You.
Earnestness brought me here. sometimes I wonder the life of the people who wrote hymns.. very touching
Port Harcourt, Nigeria
I just have to believe God in this song, that even as I'm telling him my adversities he will hearken to me. For I choose Him as a friend who knows all my flaws and can still help. Six years on trial to have access into university but to no avail. God is too big to lose my trust on. I shall wait till the end.
Luzerne, MI, United States
It's Lent; 1st Sunday; Already my Ash Wednesday vows to refrain from certain behaviors and thoughts for 40 days have foundered. Already I am ashamed of myself.
Jesus in the desert suffers 40 days of insidious attacks on his thinking and appetites: He prayed and meditated on the word.
The words of this song came back into my mind this morning out of nowhere, suddenly, when I just wrote in my notebook that in these moments of temptation, Jesus alone can help me. I get so sick of myself and my scant ability to resist anything for more than a day or two; really weak!
My mind recovered both the tune and the chorus of this hymn from back in a time when I walked closer with the Light.
I must tell Jesus, I MUST tell Jesus. Man l have just got to keep these words in my heart. I cannot bear these burdens alone.
The writer of this song was touched by God.
Encouraged by the comments here. Praying this evening and the Spirit brought this song to mind. Like many others I googled it to find all the lyrics and here the sweet refrain. Jesus you are so precious to me!
St Paul, MN, United States
My song.
Everett, Washington, United States
I love this hymn. This morning I awoke with it on my mind but couldn't remember all the words do I googled it. I want to give these words to a young lady who is coming to stay with me. She has lost her husband her house and has 2 children to support so she needs this song.

Viberate.com Statistical Resource For Music ProfessionalsViberate.com - the new music analytics service launched last month as a free beta
Viberate.com - the new music analytics service launched last month as a free beta - has now announced details about its free and premium tiers.
Granting users access to an unprecedented level of statistical data, Viberate.com offers insights not only into artists' current standings within the industry, but also rising trends, allowing promoters, agents and managers to be one step ahead of the competition.
Thanks to regularly refreshed data from a huge range of sources, Viberate.com charts the predictive rise and fall of artists based on real time activity, meaning that promoters can discover and book soon-to-be superstar artists before they become prohibitively expensive.
Another key feature of Viberate is that it allows artists to take control of their own careers, charting which releases and events give their profile a boost and reacting quickly to changing trends.
The Viberate Premium account currently gives users access to insider data on over 37,000 DJs, along with their full statistics and charts, and is a priceless tool for music professionals, while free demo allows them to test the product free of charge with limited features.
Premium users can also claim and manage an unlimited number of pages once artist affiliation has been confirmed. Once claimed, they can edit all the information displayed and soon they will be able to network directly with other professionals: an invaluable tool for managers, agents, publicists and artists alike.
Josh Karpf, Events Account Manager at Ministry of Sound was one of Viberate's early adopters: "Having used the Topdeejays platform regularly, the switch over to Viberate has been well beyond my expectations. The platform is extremely user friendly and with the analytics provided coupled with the ever growing database, Viberate will undoubtedly become a key tool for promoters, agents and venues alike."

3×01 Heartthrob
On a routine patrol, Angel stakes a female vampire. Just before she crumbles to dust she calls him Angelus and he recognizes her from his soulless past. Now, her grief-stricken lover, Angel's old hunting companion, is out for revenge for both the present killing and for a betrayal Angelus committed over 200 years ago.
Cordelia: (about Buffy) Angel, she was the love of your life and she died, and you weren't there when that happened, you couldn't help her fight, you couldn't save her, you couldn't die with her.
Really not loving this episode. Buffy just died, and this is the episode we get after the fact? Lame. I mean, I don't want him to be the uber-brooder. Cuz, gawd knows we get plenty of that on a daily basis. But, this just seemed like a lame response to her death. I get the whole story line where they tied in the fact that this other vampire is all mad cuz Angel killed the love of his life. That's not obvious at all, really. But, just so weak. I know that Buffy isn't really dead, cuz they resurrected over there on the other show, but still. Show some damn respect for the vamp Romeo & Juliet here yo.
3×02 That Vision Thing
When Cordelia's visions begin to manifest as painful physical wounds, Lorne tries to use telepathy to find out why this is happening to her, and how the visions can be stopped. Meanwhile lawyers from Wolfram & Hart make another visit to Angel's hotel.
The two are not necessarily unrelated. Turns out Lilah is using some swami type guy to get at Cordelia and her visions. The swami type guy is played by Kal Penn. His part is like this || big. So, he takes off his hat while he's in his weird trancy mode, and it turns out he is missing the top of his skull and his grey matter is all just out there, sitting there, for the world to see. Yech.
Lilah: You're a remarkable man, Angel.
Angel: And you're an evil bitch.
This other lawyer dude is going after Angel and the Gang through the hotel… building violations and such. Such a typical bureaucratic thing to do. But, they are lawyers afterall.
3×03 That Old Gang of Mine
Gunn finds himself stuck between old and new allegiances when he learns that a string of brutal and indiscriminate demon murders is the work of members of his former gang. Even Lorne's usually peaceful club isn't immune to the violence. Cordelia, meanwhile, attempts to help Fred readjust to the world.
Gunn: No matter what else, I think I proved that you can trust me when I could have killed you and I didn't.
Angel: No – you'll prove I can trust you when the day comes that you have to kill me – and you do.
First things first. Those are some seriously sexy leather pants Angel is sporting all of a sudden. Yumlicious. Very few people can pull the leather off, and he's doing it quite well. Ok, yah, that's really all that stuck with me on this episode.
3×04 Carpe Noctern
Our man Angel is trying to be so helpful with getting Fred out and about into the world, they end up going to a Charlton Heston double feature together, since none of the other Gang folk want to join. Fred may take this a bit more serious than she should.
Later, In the course of searching out one of Cordelia's vision, Angel stumbles on an old man playing peeping tom across the street from a gym. When he goes to see what the guy is up to, the old guy casts a body-switching spell with Angel. The old man, Marcus, enjoys the many pleasures of being eternally young, handsome, and bloodthirsty in Los Angeles while a dying Angel tries to get his body back.
Angel: You may not know this, Fred, but certain friends and coworkers have been known to accuse me of being the quiet, stay at home, sulky one.
With Marcus as Angel, he doesn't help matters with Fred when he gets all flirty with her and telling her she's so beautiful. Then it really doesn't help when he gets a little more than flirty with Lilah from Wolfram & Hart. So flirty in face they get a little hot & heavy on Wesley's desk. But then Fred has to walk in on that. It just is not helping her self esteem. Poor wee little thing.
Eventually they get everything all situated and back to normal. Bah… Montster-of-the-Week (MoW). I really don't like these types of eps in the scheme of things. It's not like I haven't repeated that several time, huh?

Name Your Penis!
Perhaps it seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that we know some of the answers, we rather think it might have been better not to ask the question 'What do you call your penis?'
When Metro heard that Channing Tatum had a name for his penis, they decided to ask Lovehoney to find out what other people called their willies. It only took Lovehoney a few hours to get back to them with the response from around 200 guys.
It seems that over half of the respondents have taken the trouble to name their private parts! Names chosen are pretty varied and not always obvious. Some are just plain dull, such as Edward, whilst others are a bit more fantastic, such as the weirdly named 'Rear Admiral Sir Donald Gosling'.
We asked our Leeds Escorts if they had any experiences of guys who named their penis � the answer was a resounding 'yes'! It seems that's it's just as common for the lady to name her man's private parts and the name just sticks!
And in case you're wondering, Channing Tatum calls his manhood 'Gilbert'. But we've not the least idea why!

Henry Fox Talbot
An English Photographer
born 1800-1877
The 'godfather' of modern photographic processes, Fox Talbot created photograms which showed basic forms of ferns, grasses and other plants. Talbot made these images to show the possibilities of the new photographic medium. The composition of the images is isolated, the ferns are clipped and placed haphazardly into the frame of the photogram. The strong black and white tones demonstrate the fine aspects of the plant.
Perhaps I can take clippings of flowers, plants or lichens to study their detailed form via the camera and macro lens I intend to use for my project.

My husband and I are obsessed with the movie Nacho Libre. The first Halloween our son could walk, I made a Nacho costume for him, and it was awesome. We quote it all the time and giggle without fail.
We also happen to love nachos. Give us all the nachos.
We also love pulled pork, so I added smokey pulled pork and it made my nacho life complete.
Make a little chipotle lime créma and this is perfect for your Superbowl party, finger-licking good!
I've got recipes for homemade refried beans and homemade queso blanco, but of course you can cheat and buy the stuff too.
You gotta have freshly-grated cheddar cheese and the melty queso blanco. These are NACHOS.
And coke in a bottle. "Eeees the beeeest. Iloveit."
Those little pork ends get all nice and crispy, it's like carnitas without even trying.
Don't you want a little taste of the glory? See what it tastes like?

NO PAIN IS NORMAL. Pain is a message from your body that should not be ignored. Medical Massage works to alleviate the source of the pain, giving you control of your life instead of the pain controlling you.
During the healing and recovery time of any major injury or surgery you have physical limitations, and the unaffected muscles get over used. Even after the injury or surgery has healed the muscle memory that developed can cause further limitations and pain.
When an abnormal pull between strong and weak muscles occurs, no matter what the cause, trauma, poor posture, tension, surgery or repetitive action, a dysfunctional painful strain pattern develops.

This week's music video comes from another of my favourite 80s bands – Marillion (they are still active but I have to admit they fell off my radar a couple of albums after Scots singer Fish left the band back in the late 80s).
This is their video for Garden Party, which was the second single from their 1982 debut album, the brilliant Script For A Jester's Tear.
The song is an attack on the class system, snobs and elitism and the video takes the concept a step further. Sort of a cross between Lord Of The Flies and a Dennis Wheatley novel, it features the band members as working-class schoolboys who disrupt a posh garden party at a country house.
Initially they simply make fun of the upper-class guests but then they start to sabotage the party, at first with harmless schoolboy pranks – before revealing a more sinister and demonic side to their characters.
A great song with some clearly cheap and cheerful music video production but surprisingly effective and entertaining for all that – and it's always good to see the hooray Henrys and Henriettas get a doing…
Enjoy! (Don't forget to click the HQ button to get the best sound and vision quality.)

Andy and Amy
One day Andy and his wife Amy were looking for some old childhood photos. Andy found an old album that was full of photos.
Andy puts on his reading glasses, takes a candy wrapper, turns on a small lamp and starts remembering what an amazing and beautiful childhood he had.
After he looked at all the photos he remembered how he meet Amy. All of it happened in a forest that was recently cut off. They saw a very sad squirrel and asked her why she was so sad. She said that she lived in that forest and now she had nowhere else to live. Andy said she could live with him as his pet. Now Clare, the squirrel lives with them, Luke, the bear and Joe, the rabbit.
Andy explained that his brother gave him a map of a village and told him there was a crazy scientist who lived near the mountains in a cabin. They all decided to go and find that crazy scientists and scare him so he would somehow bring back the trees to the forest where Clare used to live. They found his cabin but first they had to put on some costumes to scare him. They found a chest full of old Halloween costumes in Amy's attic. Andy dressed up as a dragon, Amy dressed up as an Indian girl, Luke was a pirate, Clare was a flying witch and Joe was a knight. The crazy scientist called Richard was so very scared. They asked him if he could make something so the trees in the forest would grow in a couple of weeks. Richard said that he could make a magic rain that would contain small magical seeds and that the trees would grow back in a couple of days. Richard did what they asked him to do. He was very proud of himself. The next day there was rain and when Clare saw the rain she was so excited. The next day nothing happened and Clare was disappointed. She still had hope for the next morning.
The next morning they were all so, so happy that the trees were in the forest and the forest was more beautiful than it was ever before.
Now they often visit the forest together knowing that some good deeds can repair any damage.

I had a great time at the CodeCraftConf, and I'll be writing up my thoughts on the other sessions shortly, but for the benefit of those who attended the technical leadership session and those who were interested in the questions, I made a few notes on each question to reflect suggestions, and discussion points that we covered, as well as a couple of additional questions that came up during the conversation. Feel free to use them as inspiration for running your own session around these questions.
Before that however, I just wanted to give a few thoughts on guiding a session, for anyone interested in running one themselves.
The best questions are open, and not technology specific. I also found that phrasing similar questions in different ways can help to draw out additional detail. I had the questions reviewed by a couple of trusted friends in advance, to make sure they covered enough ground and were good starting points for discussion.
I chose the first question as an ice breaker, as it was something I felt anyone interested in the topic could give a short answer too. Don't be precious about the order of questions. Know what's coming up so you can pull questions forward when the conversation naturally flows into it.
Try and pick up the subtle cues for people who want to speak, and use your authority as guide to try and spot them. This may often mean liking away from who's currently speaking.
What is a technical lead?
Role model
Build your relationships
Technical Architecture
Decision maker
How to build software better
Facilitate not dictate
Coach / mentor
Coding standards
Person I go to when I have a problem
Encourage communication and collaboration
Challenge and grow the team
Arbitration and negotiation
Scrapper – fighting external stakeholders in behalf of the team.
What are the most important behaviours for technical leads to exhibit?
Calm under pressure
Promoting knowledge
Don't have to know everything. Knowledge is an inverse hierarchy, it collects at the bottom.
Drawing out quieter team members
Open minded
What most inspired you about your previous technical leads?
Clarity on code knowledge
Removal of fear
Encourage learning from mistakes – mistakes happen, so learn from them when they do.
Protect from blame – collective ownership, no scapegoats
Guiding rather than fixing – not grabbing control of the keyboard
Tailoring messages to the audience
Simplifying solutions.
Why do you want to be a technical lead?
"I didn't want to be a technical lead "
Help people
Drift into it
Job description makes it uncomfortable / or gives you ammunition when scrapping
Earned authority
What scares you most about being a technical lead?
Responsibility – easy to make big mistakes
Not keeping up with technology
Friction with the outside and non-technical stakeholders
Being reactive vs proactive
How do you measure success as a technical lead?
If nobody needs you
Happy management – no meetings
Happy team
What one thing would make your life as a technical lead easier?
Open minded developers
Customers who know what they want and what the requirements are
Unified working practices and strong management
Ban the word "just"
100% utilisation is bad
More time to just think
The right work environment
Flexibility and respect
The right tools
How much coding should a technical lead do?
A lot!!
Structured time boxes
Lead on one project, developer on the next
1/3rd – 2/3rds coding was the accepted range in the session, but some unhappy leads were doing less
"feature lead"
What responsibilities are you happy to delegate, and what do you want to control?
Delegate everything. But know it will be OK.
Control to make sure the delegated work is complete and the team feel supported.
Map delegations to the team
Delegate by negation – military strategy :
– "I will do this", give leader option to refuse, then carry on
– This style can take a while to get used to
Constant communication
Don't micromanage
How do you plan for your own absence, so you can rest on holiday?
Good team mix – senior vs junior
Choosing your staff
Building the right relationships internally and externally
What qualities do you want your team to have, and how to you help them get that?
Ran out of time to cover this question, skipped to a combination of the following two.
How do you deal with conflicts in the team?
How do you deal with external pressures on the team?
Life experience
Soft skills
Project Manager should be the political front to the outside world
Have to work in partnership with the PM
Compassionate, put yourself in their shoes
Smaller teams are easier
Additional questions :
What happens to the project when the technical lead changes?
Do you need a tech lead? Are techniques like voting to resolve conflicts enough?

In this paper it is demonstrated that electron vibrational absorption of molecules driven by strong IR field provides rich physical interpretations of dynamical processes on a short time scale. The phase of an infrared field influences strongly the trajectory of the nuclear wave packet and the probing spectrum. It is shown that the probe spectrum keeps memory of the infrared phase even after that the pump field left the system. The phase effect takes maximum value when the duration of the probe pulse is of the order of the infrared field period, and can be enhanced by a proper control of the duration and intensity of the pump pulse. The phase effect is different for oriented and disordered molecules and depends strongly on the intensity of pump radiation. It can be an effective tool to study charge transfer processes like proton transfer in hydrogen bonded networks.
The present thesis is devoted to theoretical studies of pulse propagation of light through linear and nonlinear media, and of light-induced nuclear dynamics.
The first part of the thesis addresses propagation of light pulses in linear periodical media - photonic crystals. The main accent was put on studies of the angular properties of two qualitatively different types of photonic crystals: holographic photonic crystals, and impurity band based photonic crystals. The anisotropy of band structure, group velocity and pulse delay with respect to the light polarization are analyzed.
In the second part of the thesis a strict theory of nonlinear propagation of a few strong interacting light beams is presented. The key idea of this approach is a self-consistent solution of the nonlinear wave equation and the density matrix equations of the material. This technique is applied to studies of dynamics of cavityless lasing generated by ultra-fast multi-photon excitation. It is shown that interaction of co- and counter-propagating pulses of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) affects the dynamics and efficiency of nonlinear conversion. Our dynamical theory allows to explain the asymmetric spectral properties of the forward and backward ASE pulses, which were observed in recent experiment with different dye molecules. It is shown that the ASE spectral profile changes drastically when the pump intensity approaches the threshold level. The effect of the temporal self-pulsation of ASE is studied in detail.
The third part of the thesis is devoted to light-induced nuclear dynamics. Time- and frequency-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of molecules driven by strong and coherent infrared (IR) pulses shows that the phase of the IR field strongly influences the trajectory of the nuclear wave packet, and hence, the X-ray spectrum. Such a dependence arises due to the interference of one (X-ray) and two-photon (X-ray + IR) excitation channels. The phase of the light influences the dynamics also when the Rabi frequency approaches the vibrational frequency, breaking down the rotating-wave approximation. The probe X-ray spectra are also sensitive to the delay time, the duration, and the shape of the pulses. The evolution of the nuclear wave packets in the dissociative core-excited state affects the dynamics of resonant Auger scattering from fixed-in-space molecules. One of the important dynamical effects is the atomic-like resonance which experiences electronic Doppler shift. We predict that the scattering of the Auger electrons by nearby atoms leads to new Doppler shifted resonances. These extra resonances show sharp maxima in the bond directions, which makes them very promising as probes for local molecular structure using energy and angular resolved electron-ion coincidence techniques. Our theory provides prediction of several new effects, but also results that are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
The current thesis deals with one important branch of the physics of ultrafast processes, namely modeling of femtosecond nuclear dynamics. We suggest a new type of time resolved spectroscopy, the phase sensitive infrared-x-ray pump probe spectroscopy, which combines rich opportunities of IR laser techniques in quantum control of molecular systems with the site selectivity of x-rays. We have developed and applied a dynamical theory of x-ray pump-probe spectroscopy to study different molecular systems. Special attention is paid to design of the wave packets of desirable shape and spectral composition. Such a quantum control of the nuclear wave packet enables the study of molecular properties in regions that are unavailable by standard x-ray spectroscopies. The IR - x-ray pump probe spectroscopy is nicely suited to perform mapping of wave packet trajectories, to study revival phenomena, femtosecond chemical dynamics, and proton transfer, to mention a few examples.
Our simulations show that the phase of the infrared pulse strongly influences the trajectory of the nuclear wave packet, and hence, the x-ray spectrum. Such a dependence is caused by the transfer of the phase of the IR field to the wave packet through the interference of the one (x-ray) and two-photon (IR + x-ray) excitation channels. The time resolved x-ray spectra are sensitive to the shape, duration and delay time between the pulses. The phase of the IR pulse influences the molecular dynamics also when the Rabi period becomes comparable with the period of vibrations, breaking down the rotating wave approximation. We predict a phase memory effect which is a promising technique in studies of chemical dynamics on different time scales. It is shown that the final state interaction with the pump affects the probe spectrum when the pump and probe pulses overlap.
In a further step, we explore the electronic recoil effect in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which has recently attracted attention of experimentalists due to its sensitivity to intramolecular interaction. We show that an IR field enhances the manifestation of the recoil effect through the formation of extensive vibrational wave packets. The theory of x-ray Raman scattering from molecules with strong spin-orbit coupling accompanied by electron-hole interaction is developed and applied to simulations of resonant x-ray Raman scattering of the HCl molecule. Special attention is paid to the theoretical methodologies to reduce the computational cost of our wave packet codes.

This week winemakers Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman, under their Domaine de la Côte estate partnership, purchased Sta. Rita Hills-based Sandhi wines from Terroir Capital.
Parr and Moorman, together with Texas-based venture capitalist Steve Webster, now own three premium estate wine brands: Domaine de la Côte in the Sta. Rita Hills, Evening Land Seven Springs Estate in the Eola Amity Hills, and the premium Chardonnay-focused Sandhi Wines in Santa Barbara County.
Begun in the 2009 vintage as a partnership between sommelier Raj Parr, winemaker Sashi Moorman, and investor Charles Banks, Sandhi focuses on premium Chardonnay from the Sta.Rita Hills appellation in Santa Barbara County. In five short vintages the Sandhi project garnered critical acclaim for its bottlings from benchmark vineyards such as Sanford & Benedict and Mt. Carmel while highlighting new sites such as Bentrock and Rita's Crown.
Of the sale, Parr states "We're pleased to have Sandhi under the same operation as our Domaine de la Côte estate and eager to continue our relationships with the great growers here in the Sta. Rita Hills. The quality we've been able to achieve from our neighboring vineyards is important to us and Sashi and I are excited to continue this project."
Domaine de la Côte is a 65-acre estate vineyard at the western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Planted in 2007 by Sashi Moorman, the Domaine has released three vintages, beginning with the 2011 release.

I love taking pictures of sleeping people on the street. I love their innocence and the courage, and sometimes the desperation that can bring a human being to abandon himself to hours of sleep, in front of the strangers.
Some may say that Asian streets are full of indifference: i'd say that, unlike many cities in the western world, here there is acceptance and comprehension for those less fortunate that cannot even afford a dorm bed for the night.
The tropical temperatures induce a sleepy mood, and what i love in Asia is that people seem to fall asleep everywhere and at any time of the day. If they're tired or just waiting for a bus, and there's an available surface, they don't mind taking a nap.
Even during working shift at my guesthouse, the staff don't mind having a nap if the day runs too slow..
Anyway, street sleeping is no random business: a lot of the people i've been taking picture of, are regularly in their usual spots. They live the city at its fullest. There's no air-con for them, nor shower in the morning, and yet they manage to get by in a tropical big city, waking up everyday because the place they're sleeping in might be a shop that needs to open.
These people are everywhere in Asia, and we should think about them everytime we complain about a guesthouse room being untidy, or the shower not being nice enough…Sleep well my brothers, good night.

A vacation should be a good thing, especially if it's a short mental vacation during a mediation or negotiation session.
Vacations are a chance to break the cycle of your normal routine. It can give you the opportunity to travel to new places and experience new things. For some, they find relaxation is going to the same place, the same beach house or cabin in the woods, to get away from it all.
There are many things that can go wrong to make you wish you were back in your office, sweet office. If you feel a need to 'get away' but also feel a need (rightly or wrongly) to stay connected to your job or business, while on 'vacation' you check e-mails and voice mails or call in to see what's going on. You're not really working, but you're not really vacationing either.
Practical issues can cause stress. Flights may be delayed or canceled. Hotel reservations may get mixed up. The weather may not cooperate. You may become ill or injure yourself in an accident. If you're vacationing with children, the potential for practical problems increases exponentially.
Even if you manage to find a vacation that suits your personality and desires, and all the practical issues go off without a hitch, that vacation bliss will probably only last as long as the vacation. You may enjoy a break from normal, stressful life, but a vacation probably won't alter your life such that you approach and handle stress in a more effective way. One Dutch study of 54 vacationers published in 2012 found that even long vacations (averaging 23 days) had only a temporary effect on people. The health and welfare benefits of a three week vacation were found to have worn off the first week back at work.
While a vacation may or may not provide you a welcome respite from work, a mental vacation during mediation or negotiation session can provide dividends.
The mediation or negotiation process can be very stressful because parties are forced to get to the heart of their differences and come to a resolution. If you give yourself a mental break during a tough mediation or negotiation session, you may be able to clear some of that stress out of your mind and body. Take a five minute break when the mediator is not around to go outside. Use the restroom time for a brief mental respite. Consider bringing meaningless reading material. There can be something soothing about reading a People magazine.
Being mindful in the moment can also be a mini vacation that can help you. It can increase your brain power and creativity. Taking a breather and getting away for a moment can give you some time and space that will result in new ideas, concepts or approaches to what's keeping the parties apart.
Though a vacation from work may not take you down a path to a less stressed life, a short mental vacation during negotiation or mediation may result in new ideas that will put the parties on the road to a resolution.

Why it's not illegal to view & pleasure to any internet pornography including all ages and why the "Government", "Police" are of out-law enforcement. (should *KKK judge and jury get the death penalty for illegal imprisonment, punishment and illegal penalty, fines enforcement, other?)
Actual law pertaining U.S and around the world:
*If you found it (pics, videos) searching the internet it's your's.. (**"not necessary or likely for resale", "other rules" may apply).
Explanation :
Your PC ("Personal Computer, Private Computer") automatically takes, captures pictures, videos content, etc. while browsing, surfing through the internet. You can also manually take your own snapshots of what you wish.
The same relation if you had a camera taking random and "particular" photographs for your personal scrap book collection to legally store, keep view and even share with your friends or who ever. *Individually responsible for their legal use of such content. Public private access rules may apply. Typically your snaps should be ok..
Using your new Cannon or Nikon auto-load : Please do not harass, illegally stalk your subjects! (typically minimal random shots are ok). Paparazzi be careful!
To participate sexually, masturbate to anything, pictures you wish is not illegal*... (not meaning "masturbate" in public or with an illegal partner, illegal sexual affair, etc. "Public" there may possibly be an exception.. Don't even try it.. )
Ok, so you were surfing the net and found some "illegal porn, under-age porn". Can you still have it for your "scrap book" and masturbate to it? Yes you can!
How this legally aligns, relates: If you took a photograph of a stolen Rolls Royce car chances are in *most cases, it's legally your photograph of the stolen illegal car. Add it to your collection, legally share it. Go home and jerk off to it til your hearts content! ..
P.S have fun battling the Jew-Klux-Klan, Catholics and other like illegal cults if you're bothered by their outlaw "policies" practices. Be careful..
"Their making their own *KKK rules", passing and enforcing illegal laws. Americans are attempting to boycott the U.S. Illegal terrorist parties intruders in U.S government & society. The nation is under terrorist heist..
"the sex law "policy" was or is of the Church of Nazareth and it's members to the churches society", it's not legally binding and pertaining.. A "policy" is not the law. Also see articles: how and when the U.S will end it's outlaw practices.
