Between February and April 1890 Van Gogh suffered a severe relapse. Depressed and unable to bring himself to write, he was still able to paint and draw a little during this time,[168] and he later wrote to Theo that he had made a few small canvases "from memory ... reminisces of the North".[169] Among these was Two Peasant Women Digging in a Snow-Covered Field at Sunset. Hulsker believes that this small group of paintings formed the nucleus of many drawings and study sheets depicting landscapes and figures that Van Gogh worked on during this time. He comments that this short period was the only time that Van Gogh's illness had a significant effect on his work.[170] Van Gogh asked his mother and his brother to send him drawings and rough work he had done in the early 1880s so he could work on new paintings from his old sketches.[171] Belonging to this period is Sorrowing Old Man ("At Eternity's Gate"), a colour study Hulsker describes as "another unmistakable remembrance of times long past".[90][172] His late paintings show an artist at the height of his abilities, according to the art critic Robert Hughes, "longing for concision and grace".[114]
Many of the comedy films Van Dyke starred in throughout the 1960s were relatively unsuccessful at the box office, including What a Way to Go! with Shirley MacLaine, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N., Fitzwilly, The Art of Love with James Garner and Elke Sommer, Some Kind of a Nut, Never a Dull Moment with Edward G. Robinson, and Divorce American Style with Debbie Reynolds and Jean Simmons. But he also starred as Caractacus Pott (with his native accent, at his own insistence, despite the English setting) in the successful musical version of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), which co-starred Sally Ann Howes and featured the same songwriters (The Sherman Brothers) and choreographers (Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood) as Mary Poppins.
Van Gogh learned about Fernand Cormon's atelier from Theo.[107] He worked at the studio in April and May 1886,[108] where he frequented the circle of the Australian artist John Peter Russell, who painted his portrait in 1886.[109] Van Gogh also met fellow students Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec – who painted a portrait of him in pastel. They met at Julien "Père" Tanguy's paint shop,[108] (which was, at that time, the only place where Paul Cézanne's paintings were displayed). In 1886, two large exhibitions were staged there, showing Pointillism and Neo-impressionism for the first time, and bringing attention to Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Theo kept a stock of Impressionist paintings in his gallery on boulevard Montmartre, but Van Gogh was slow to acknowledge the new developments in art.[110]
Van Gogh drew, and painted with watercolours while at school, but only a few examples survive and the authorship of some has been challenged.[199] When he took up art as an adult, he began at an elementary level. In early 1882, his uncle, Cornelis Marinus, owner of a well-known gallery of contemporary art in Amsterdam, asked for drawings of The Hague. Van Gogh's work did not live up to expectations. Marinus offered a second commission, specifying the subject matter in detail, but was again disappointed with the result. Van Gogh persevered; he experimented with lighting in his studio using variable shutters, and with different drawing materials. For more than a year he worked on single figures – highly elaborate studies in black and white,[note 11] which at the time gained him only criticism. Later, they were recognised as early masterpieces.[201]
Van Gogh returned home a fortnight later and resumed painting, producing a mirror-image Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe, several still lifes, and La Berceuse (Woman Rocking a Cradle; Augustine-Alix Pellicot Roulin, 1851–1930). Several weeks later, he again showed symptoms of mental disturbance severe enough to cause him to be sent back to the hospital. At the end of April 1889, fearful of losing his renewed capacity for work, which he regarded as a guarantee of his sanity, he asked to be temporarily shut up in the asylum at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in order to be under medical supervision.
Ill from drink and suffering from smoker's cough, in February 1888 Van Gogh sought refuge in Arles.[14] He seems to have moved with thoughts of founding an art colony. The Danish artist Christian Mourier-Petersen became his companion for two months, and at first Arles appeared exotic. In a letter, he described it as a foreign country: "The Zouaves, the brothels, the adorable little Arlésienne going to her First Communion, the priest in his surplice, who looks like a dangerous rhinoceros, the people drinking absinthe, all seem to me creatures from another world."[114]
Limited access to life outside the clinic resulted in a shortage of subject matter. Van Gogh instead worked on interpretations of other artist's paintings, such as Millet's The Sower and Noonday Rest, and variations on his own earlier work. Van Gogh was an admirer of the Realism of Jules Breton, Gustave Courbet and Millet,[164] and he compared his copies to a musician's interpreting Beethoven.[165]
He wrote that they represented his "sadness and extreme loneliness", and that the "canvases will tell you what I cannot say in words, that is, how healthy and invigorating I find the countryside".[183] Wheatfield with Crows, although not his last oil work, is from July 1890 and Hulsker discusses it as being associated with "melancholy and extreme loneliness".[184] Hulsker identifies seven oil paintings from Auvers that follow the completion of Wheatfield with Crows.[185]
Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions and though he worried about his mental stability, he often neglected his physical health, did not eat properly and drank heavily. His friendship with Gauguin ended after a confrontation with a razor when, in a rage, he severed part of his own left ear. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals, including a period at Saint-Rémy. After he discharged himself and moved to the Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris, he came under the care of the homeopathic doctor Paul Gachet. His depression continued and on 27 July 1890, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a revolver. He died from his injuries two days later.

"We fight because we believe there are real consequences to access. Exposing an unvarnished history of the NYPD would pressure the department to rethink tactics that have failed vulnerable communities in the past. Making police departments more transparent is an essential part of making officers more accountable for how they do their jobs. The ongoing political fight over transparency and accessibility are not just watchwords that will determine the future of policing. They are also the battleground on which we are fighting to understand policing's past."

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Washington's governor declared a drought emergency Monday, covering almost half the state, so could that could be an indicator of things to come on this side of the border?
The governor's declaration affects almost half the state but not Seattle, Everett or Tacoma. Meanwhile in B.C., our snowpack is lower than ideal, but reservoirs are essentially full. So is there cause for concern here?
"We're in good shape," says Marilyn Towill, Metro Vancouver's director of operations and maintenance for water services. "We still do require people to follow our lawn watering and other regulations and really pay attention to how the use the water so that we're kind of mindfully using that joint resource that we share and use through the summer."
RELATED: Annual water restrictions kick in across Metro Vancouver
But Dave Campbell with the BC River Forecast Centre says how much rain we get going forward will determine a lot.
"I think the risks are definitely increased. Snow is one piece of it and certainly what we're seeing right now is kind of combination of a little bit less snow to start with and then that snow has melted off pretty quickly so a lot of the low numbers are really reflecting that the melt has come down early," Campbell adds. "That will put down pressure n the rivers later in the year but it really is influenced by what we get for rainfall over the next few months."
Although Towill says we're in good shape, she does note the snowpack is below average for this time of year. She says those conditions are similar to what people are seeing down in Washington State.
"We are experiencing similar snowpack levels but our water storage reservoirs are you know essentially full," she adds.
Washington's snowpack is less than 50 per cent of the average for this time of year but it's largely rural areas at risk, according to its Department of Ecology which says the risk of hardship is quite low because of its storage capacity.

For a lot of us, early mornings have actually handled a specific nauseating sameness. We present from underneath the blankets and, prior to the aroma of coffee has actually reached our nostrils, we are examining the news feeds for the current semi-literate tweet spent by the ranting, traitorous squatter inhabiting the Oval Office.
The remainder of the day is invested in a sort of horrified suspension, holding our breath, waiting on whatever outrage will undoubtedly belch forth from the White House– as soon as a bastion of severity and etiquette, now ground absolutely no for the death of western democracy. The number of lies will Trump gush today? Which totalitarians will he flatter? Will he smear a Gold Star household? Assault a female who attempts to call out his smarmy predations? Reveal a puerile, racist label for a Senator or member of his own cabinet?
As much as we hate it, nevertheless sickening it may have ended up being, every day appears everything about him, a previous video game program host and property failure, a hawker of rot-gut vodka and bullshit degrees from a deceptive "University" who as soon as styled himself as "the Donald". The cable television news reveals lead with his newest flatulence, the op-ed pages teem with intimations of doom, late night comics are having a field day.
He is the president and, therefore, bears enjoying. We would be misinterpreted to believe that he is really the center of our universe, a male with a strategy, commanding the heights, directing the action.
Virulent as he might be, Donald J. Trump is a sign not the illness. Without us, he would total up to absolutely nothing more than exactly what he had actually constantly been prior to the bizzaro governmental election of 2016: a foppish narcissist desperate for any procedure of affirmation; a joke; an absolutely nothing. He did not develop his citizens. They have actually existed the whole time, fuming with in some cases sensible anger and suffering their different insecurities. They allowed and developed Trump. And make no error, in all their susceptible humankind, they are us: Gullible, certified, sidetracked, marinading in paradox.
At root, we individuals are the issue.
We are not surprisingly hesitant to impugn the intelligence and stability of our fellow residents. It is conceited, uncivil, bad kind. Who are we, any of us, to hold ourselves remarkable? When Hillary Clinton described some Trump advocates as "deplorables", she was roundly castigated on all sides. How attempt she? It is an unpleasant truth that anywhere from a 5th to a 3rd of our electorate can be relatively (if carefully) explained as low-information citizens. If the outcomes of various surveys and surveys are to be relied on, they understand little about the world they live in and exactly what they do "understand" is typically woefully inaccurate.
Surveys carried out every 2 years by the National Science Foundation regularly show that somewhat majority of Americans turn down the settled science worrying human development. They are not uninformed that practically all reputable researchers accept the frustrating proof that we developed from earlier types. Since it does not comport with their deeply held beliefs, they just pick not to accept that agreement. Lots of likewise accept the ridiculous concept that the earth is just 6 thousand years of ages. Remarkably, in the early 21st century, around a quarter of our citizenry appears uninformed that stated earth focuses on the sun.
It is an error to relate to issue about such lack of knowledge as effete snobbery or elitist condescension. While misapprehensions about fundamental astronomy, earth science and biology might have little influence on these folk's every day lives, does anybody in fact think that likewise uninformed views aren't most likely to impact their grasp of policies concerning, state, environment modification? Earnings inequality? Weapon violence? Migration?
Profound understanding spaces like the abovementioned expose a failure to believe seriously and leave an individual susceptible to all way of chicanery. We are all oblivious about numerous things. Do not get me begun on my miserable grasp of mathematics! The trademark of a sound education is not glorying in exactly what you believe you understand, however, rather, valuing the vastness of exactly what you do not understand.
If lack of knowledge is the secret that unlocks for charlatans like Trump, enhanced education, whether in school or in the general public square, would appear to supply an apparent service. Here we challenge the perverse Dunning-Kruger Effect determined by psychologists– basically, the less we understand, the more particular we end up being of our exceptional understanding. We have actually likewise found that direct exposure to realities and proof does not constantly have actually the anticipated effect. Many individuals, when challenged by undeniable evidence that some core belief is inaccurate, do not alter their minds however dig in their heels. What feels right to them should be best and no quantity reasoning and thinking will deter them. Feeling exceeds proof.
Not too long back, I fell under discussion with a female aboard an aircraft. Our chat in some way relied on healthcare. She provided the viewpoint that individuals who could not pay for medical insurance didn't be worthy of medical services. Why should she spend for somebody's care when they were certainly too lazy to make their own cash?
Because I'm my own type of fool, I increased to the bait. Did that mean they should be permitted to pass away in the street? I questioned. Well, no, she stated. That would be inhumane. They might constantly go to an emergency clinic. She was ready to pay for their care, I observed, however just in the least effective, most costly way. This offered her brief time out, however she rapidly regrouped, merely duplicating her previous assertion: Why should she pay …? I didn't ask who she prepared to elect in the then-upcoming governmental election, however considered that she had actually likewise voiced the viewpoint that females were, by virtue of their gender, unqualified to be news anchors, I'm thinking it wasn't Hillary Clinton or Jill Stein.
She is barely the worst example of an unthinking citizen. When welcomed onto his program previous GM Executive Bob Lutz, Bill Maher. One expects that such a fellow has actually gained from a sufficient education which he's open to factor. When the topic of environment modification emerged, Lutz rejected it was occurring. A lot of rubbish as far as he was worried.
As it occurred, Maher had actually likewise welcomed Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist, teacher and Director of the Hayden Planetarium. Tyson patiently discussed why Lutz was misguided. The world was warming. People were mostly to blame. This is how we understand.
You may anticipate an informed individual to react by a minimum of appealing on the subject. Tyson was, after all, significantly more well-informed on the topic at hand. Had their functions been reversed, with the subject being vehicles, I believe he would have accepted the car manufacturer, asking concerns, aiming to enhance the state of his own understanding. Not Lutz. You might see him closing down prior to Tyson had actually even warmed to the subject (no pun meant). As Upton Sinclair notoriously put it, "It's tough to obtain a male to comprehend something when his income depends upon him not comprehending it."
Anyone who has actually seen the focus groups of Trump citizens has actually seen this sorry vibrant played out once again and once again. Whatever, no matter how tawdry or destructive, is excused or decreased. You get the sensation these folks would accept the sexual molestation of teenage women as a compromise for Neil Gorsuch. Numerous did in supporting Roy Moore.
Welcome to the Post-Truth Era.
Much has actually been discussed the effect social networks and the web in basic have actually had on how individuals take in and get details. By now, we are all acquainted with bots, giants, counterfeit scandals and the propensity of folks to hunch down in their own info-silos. The old saying that a lie is midway round the world prior to the fact gets its socks on has actually never ever been more significant.
Consider the current attacks on among the young Parkland shooting survivors. A teen who had actually simply seen schoolmates being assassinated at his own school rapidly found that defending sensible weapon policy led to vicious trolling and the viral lie that he was a paid"crisis star ". This resembled exactly what befell the mourning households of the little kids killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Picture waking one early morning in a state of searing sorrow over the violent death of your infant to find that some repellent prankster like Alex Jones is informing his gullible audience that the entire awful event was staged, that your kid was in fact a paid entertainer splashed in synthetic gore and positioned in a gruesome tableaux of death.
That Jones and his ilk have actually not been completely shamed and driven from the general public sphere states a lot about our growing tolerance for repellent rubbish.
Trump did not develop Fake News. The Big Lie has actually been the stock in trade of bilkers and autocrats considering that time immemorial. He comprehends its worth."Alternative realities"as his lickspittle factotum, Kellyanne Conway infamously put it, has actually long been his metier. He's a bullshitter, a bogus and now he's our president.
This should not have actually occurred. We let it take place, though Trump did have plenty of aid
Unsurprisingly, the Fox propaganda maker and any number of conservative radio ranters enthusiastically climbed aboard the Trump Train. They were abetted by lots of in the mainstream media who, conscious that Trump tempted eyeballs to marketers and too shy to call him out as the carnival barker he so clearly was, went along for the trip. A number of Republicans in Congress dismissed him at. When it ended up being clear he had a shot at winning and that his followers made up at least half of their celebration, they scampered to embrace him as their beneficial moron.
It's real that we are not all similarly culpable. Approximately 3 million more individuals elected Trump's primary challenger. The right-minded amongst us didn't do enough to prevent the clearly looming catastrophe. The evidence of that is the Trump presidency itself.
So, if we in our different versions are the issue, then exactly what is the option? Exists any method out? We 'd much better hope so. Exactly what's specific is that it's on us. We made a wreck of our federal government and it depends on us to repair it.
There are favorable indications:
An as soon as certified media has actually started to take the gloves off. Authentic conservatives, outraged that their motion has actually been pirated by philistines, are sounding the alarm. Individuals are rising and calling BS. For Every Single Sean Hannity there is a Rachel Maddow, Jake Tapper or perhaps Shepard Smith (at Fox News, no less!). For Each Paul Ryan, there is a David Frum or Max Boot. Frothing crowds at CPAC are countered by the #MeToo motion and remarkably significant teens fed up with political leaders of any stripe who cringe prior to the weapon market. On an excellent day, a John McCain or Jeff Flake will withstand the wincing accommodationists in their own celebration. And, obviously, Donald Trump himself, in addition to his corrupt lackeys, deal with a powerful enemy in the individual of Robert Mueller.
NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers'current statement prior to the Senate Intelligence Committee need to mark a turning point, though he simply validated exactly what has actually appeared for a long time: that even as our country is under attack from a Russia figured out to overturn our democracy, the president has actually not directed any appropriate firms to protect the nation. This is an infraction of the oath Trump swore on inauguration day and resembles treason. We have actually gone into uncharted waters.
What's clear is that we have to utilize all non-violent resources at our disposal to rid ourselves and our nation of the hazardous infection dispersing from the White House into our body politic. These are not regular times and our typical reflexes will not are enough.
Trump is an issue of our own production. We should end up being the service.
Ron Reagan is an author and political analyst who resides in Seattle and Arezzo, Tuscany.

As I prepare for my first "Movement and Active Learning" conference I reflect on the 9-year journey with this work. It all began when my late sister, then head of education and writing at The Second City Training Center in Chicago suggested that improv exercises could be used as teaching tools for students. I jumped at her suggestion and after piloting a workshop or two with teachers, we knew that her hunch was right.
The teachers who participated in those early "fact-finding" improv workshops helped my sister and me to understand just how far reaching Viola Spolin games like Zip-Zap-Zop or One Word Story could develop content knowledge and literacy skills. Rob Chambers, the President of The Second City Training Center, supported and encouraged our work as we discovered the deep connections between improvisation and learning. We found:
- Students loved the movement and creativity when they participated in improv activities
- Teachers found limitless connections between learning and improv. This is still very true today when I conduct workshops and present at conferences on this work.
- Students with special needs fully participate and improv builds inclusive classrooms.
- Improv develops literacy skills in vocabulary, sequencing, inferencing, and reflective analysis of text.
There are more connections but I think that these are the most important. When I present at conferences and schools (most recently at the Association for Middle Level Education and Chicago Shakespeare Teacher Workshops), educators respond with tremendous enthusiasm and share that the activities are easy to implement.
I hope that you will be able to join me and my colleague, Liz Krane at our one day Movement and Active Learning conference on December 9th to learn more!

Barge operators invited to test sustainable technologies
Published: mars 01, 2017
A European tender has opened for the operators in the inland shipping segment who wish to invest in sustainable technology. From 28 February until midday on 24 April 2017, they can apply to take part in the European project CLean INland Shipping (CLINSH), which will promote sustainable waterborne transport.
Inland shipping is an important link in the logistics chain. Barges transport large volumes of freight over long distances. If the sector is to maintain its key role in international logistics, operators must invest in cleaner technologies. This may entail replacing engines outright, modifying existing engines ('retrofitting') or converting them to run on an alternative fuel. The overall objective is to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and fine particulates, thus improving air quality for everyone. The international requirements for both energy efficiency and air quality are becoming ever more stringent. The market expects service providers to demonstrate good environmental performance, while some ports now restrict access to vessels which fail to meet certain standards.
The CLINSH trial will involve thirty vessels which will be selected by means of a European tender. There will be two groups:
a) 15 vessels in which owners will install an emissions-reducing technology, or which will be converted to run on an alternative fuel. The technologies to be tested are DPF-SCR, Fuel Water Emulsion, hybrid installations, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Gas-to-Liquids (GTL).
b) 15 vessels which already have an emissions-reducing technology installed, or run on an alternative fuel.
The successful tenders will be announced in mid-June 2017 and the trial itself begins in early September. Emissions will be closely monitored over a period of one to two years. This will yield valuable information about environmental performance and operating costs.
Why take part?
Owners who are selected to take part in the CLINSH project will receive financial compensation. The amounts payable include a subsidy of up to 50% of the actual costs of purchasing and installing the technology, together with an expenses allowance of up to €10,000 per vessel. Owners who already operate an emissions-reducing technology will be eligible for the allowance of up to €10,000 per vessel. Participants in the project will therefore be paid for the information they generate, which will be used to fast-track the transition to sustainable technologies throughout the inland shipping sector.
The project will also give them direct knowledge and experience regarding the various technologies and the environmental benefits they represent. Participants will be 'trailblazers' and may well gain a competitive advantage as they enjoy preferential treatment from clients and ports. Moreover, owners will receive payment today for modifications that are likely to become mandatory in future.
About CLINSH
CLINSH is a demonstration project in which emissions-reducing technologies and alternative fuels are to be tested in practice. This will provide valuable information about their effectiveness and operating costs. CLINSH was officially launched on 1 September 2016 and is co-funded under the European Commission's LIFE programme. The total project value is over €8.5 million, which will be invested by the 17 partners in various projects intended to increase the sustainability of the inland shipping sector.
If you are interested in taking part in the CLINSH trials, you can find further information at: www.clinsh.eu.

Russian warships have embarked on a long voyage to the Black and Mediterranean Seas to take part in what the Defense Ministry said Wednesday would be the largest naval exercise in decades. It said the exercise would test the ships' ability to act together outside Russian waters. Moscow has been trying to strengthen its military presence in the Mediterranean region. President Vladimir V. Putin has said Russia needs a stronger military to protect it from foreign attempts to stoke conflicts around its borders.

I'm kind of new to brainwave entrainment. So even though I might have been skeptic at first, my very first experience was rather surprising. I know, I'm probably among millions of people expressing the effects and benefits of brainwave enhancing auditory stimuli. But truth be told, if you have the right tone, the perfect serene place, and an unshakable determination? Then you're on the right track. So I'd say? Give brainwave entrainment a try. You're bound to feel the great benefits of these powerful, yet simple methods of mental boosters. Oh! Before I forget. Thank you for the interesting script mademoiselle. 🙂
No matter what you use: USE it. At least for a couple weeks. And have realistic expectations... Brainwave Entrainment is not some pill or quick solution (even if there are some sessions that usually give almost immediate results e.g. for sleep induction or pain relief), it is a tool that requires training and works best in combination with good breathing / meditation techniques.
Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) is one final type of brainwave that has been studied. SMR, also known as low beta, is a type of brainwave, which occurs in the sensorimotor cortex, in the 12 to 15 hertz range when that area of the sensorimotor cortex is idle and immobile. The purpose of SMR brainwaves is not well understood, but some neurofeedback practitioners report training to increase SMR brainwaves can be beneficial for people with autism, epilepsy, ADD, insomnia, drug addiction, and as an aide to better manage stress.
When the brain is stimulated with pulsed sounds (neuro-electrical activity via the nerves originating from the ears), the overall activity of the brain will respond to and align with these pulses. By selecting the desired rate, the brain — via the frequency following response (entrainment) — can be naturally induced towards the selected brainwave state.
Entrainment is a phenomenon seen is a wide variety of different natural circumstance. In the field of chronobiology, the study of biological rhythms in living organisms, entrainment is the synchronization of a circadian rhythm with the rhythm of an external pattern, such as the synchronizing of women's menstrual cycles with the phases of the moon or with one another in a group.
Now next point to make here is that many of the other promised benefits of brainwave entrainment stem from this basic foundation. For example, it has been said that listening to brainwave entrainment resets the brain's sodium/potassium ratio, greatly decreasing mental fatigue, and improving the transporting of positive neurochemicals between brain cells. This promise rests on the fact that it has been shown that this occurs while one is in the theta state. Therefore, the answer would be that yes, because these audios do lead one's brain into the theta state, then it follows that they would promote the resetting of the brain's sodium potassium ratio.
I also suffer with migraine for the last 15 years of my life. So, when I know I am going to have a headache I will start meditating and headache suddenly subsided. What an amazing thing you have created here. This is only three weeks of my experience. How much more what I can do after…………By the way I am 49 years old. I just want to thank you so very much for sharing this amazing tape with me. It is so worth it in all aspect. I wish you all the best. How I wish that our paths will cross one day.
There isn't really a one-size-fits-all track or frequency range which is right for all kids while doing homework. So that does make it difficult to recommend one thing in particular, and why I have a number of tracks for studying and focus. If they have already learnt and understood the information, but are just trying to commit it to memory for a test, then I would recommend an alpha track, like the Memorization Study Aid product I have with the 10.4Hz frequency you referred to. If they are still trying to fully understand what is being taught in a workbook, then I would recommend a track that is mainly beta frequencies, like my Study Focus tracks. In the middle, I have a number of tracks which use a combination of beta and alpha wave frequencies, like Study Booster, Study Enhancer and Cognition Enhancer. The last 3 use similar frequencies but deliver the tones and brainwave entrainment effects in different ways. As we are all wired a little differently it does sometimes take a bit of trial and error, to see what method or frequency range works best for the individual. These types of tracks are made for a general audience. In an ideal world, you would hook up to an EEG and see in real time exactly what a person responds to best, depending on the goal and current state of mind.
I would like to start off by saying that many bold statements are made about this technology from people who have a self-interest in promoting or rejecting it. We have to face the truth by accepting that people are profiting from brainwave entrainment, and as a result of this other groups of people are being affected in a negative way (from a business point of view). This is a reason why you can find all kinds of claims from someone who has never used or tested the technology. Unfortunately I have found in my own personal journey of using brainwave entrainment that there are some great people out there making some great products, and there are also some irresponsible and untrustworthy people out there trying to grab a slice of the pie.
Sound and light are the most popular methods to entrain the mind, yet there are a few other options in our toolbox. Using vibrational energy from sources such as magnets and electricity has been proven to help overcome addictions, depression, and even treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson's. In this section, we cover these alternative forms of brainwave entrainment.
The Brain Wave app uses advanced sequences of binaural tones that are combined with configurable ambient nature sounds and atmospheric music (or a person's iTunes Music) to stimulate specific brainwave patterns. It includes powerful binaural sequences for sleep, focus, energy, positive mood, confidence, anxiety, stress relief, relaxation, yoga, memory, motivation, headache, concentration and meditation and more.
Creativity: Measuring "creativity" is likely subjective, but many people stuck in a certain dominant brain wave may benefit creatively from shifting the brain wave dominance. Someone who has excess beta waves may fail to relax enough to access certain (potential) creative properties associated with increased alpha waves. Similarly someone stuck in a slow wave state may benefit creatively from increasing beta waves.
With so many thoughts begging for your attention each day, it's hard to believe that most of them are the same ones you had yesterday. Actually, many psychologists who have studied the thought processes associated with our thinking patterns would agree that, on average, 90% of the thoughts that we become aware of throughout the day are the same thoughts that we have already experienced, over and over again. The reason we are so prone to repetitive thinking is because the brain is always … [Read more...]
There are many sources of binaural beats on the internet and YouTube to check-out and experiment with yourself – I recommend using headphones for optimal effectiveness. However, like most things, not all binaural beats are created equally (especially if they are free on the internet) and therefore not as effective or enjoyable to listen to. This is why I HIGHLY recommend the binaural beats created by master audio technician, music producer and meditation teacher, Cory Allen – which can be found here:
A few months ago I decided to test the ability of the "Equisync II" brainwaves therapy combined with other more traditional self-improvement programs and the results have been even more amazing to me. Currently in my mind I honestly believe this type of therapy can be a breakthrough, or simply the genesis of a new type of therapeutic techniques to correct several psychological, and behavioral human issues including depression, lack of organization, and self-esteem among many, many other possibilities.
A common element in recordings incorporating alpha and theta frequencies is a steady but barely perceptible rhythm of the frequencies themselves. This subtle and calming pulse mixes with sounds of gentle breezes, distant bird songs, and the slow progression of deep synth notes. Underneath this, below the audible sounds at sub 16 hertz levels, other frequencies intermingle, deepening the merging of conscious and unconscious mind.
Brainwave entrainment technology of the FUTURE – today. Brainwave entrainment using binaural beats is a thing of the past. Advanced NeuralSync™ technology uses multiple powerful sound frequencies and energetic augmentation that FORCES your brain to STOP producing defective brainwave patterns and OVERRIDES them to create positive neural feedback instead. As you continue use, your brain re-learns to produce healthy, beneficial and healing brainwaves on its own!
No. The frequencies are consistent throughout the duration of each music production we offer. It could be argued that a better approach is to change the frequency over time, starting at a higher frequency when the listener is alert and slowly ramping down as the music progresses and the listener becomes more relaxed. So why have we not taken this approach?
PMS: There is a little research that supports the efficacy of brainwave entrainment for PMS symptom reduction in women. Women with long-standing and severe forms of PMS were administered photic stimulations for a series of 3 menstrual cycles. Following the photic stimulation, it was noted that women reported 64% improvement by the second menstrual cycle and 76% improvement after all three cycles.
The same goes for brainwave entrainment. You can't just listen to an audio as many times as you want and expect that more is always better. In a very real way, you are "exercising" your brain. You are pushing it to build new neural pathways, to communicate with itself in new ways, and to adapt to a new kind of mental stimulation. This is incredibly good for you, but there is a limit that you must observe.
Hello Jason, this is an unusually thoughtful discussion. Thank you for all your expertise and your kind manner of presenting and moderating it. I'm wondering if you have any experience with this: ever since I've been exposed to theta wave music, without headphones, I have found it irritating. And this is in spite of the fact that when I was first handed a CD by someone I knew well and trusted he was so confident I'd love it It didn't occur to either of us that I might not. This happened again recently, which is about 10 years later, when I heard it playing overhead at an acupuncture clinic. I felt restless and even irritated, unable to zone out, which is unusual for me, during the treatment. I realized that the quality of my irritation was similar to what I'd felt listening to that CD a decade ago.So I asked if it was theta wave music and she said yes. The acupuncturist said that some people, but a vast minority, really dislike the music. She said that the few people who dislike it are not simply neutral, but actively dislike it. And she also said, but most people like it a lot. I'm just wondering what kind of factors might be present that would make a person feel so irritated by this music?
I loved it All However because of serious blood pressure issues one of those beats isn't doing well with my chest. Im getting pains. I want to BELIEVE that it flowing thru and because like everything in life gotta go thru some pain and discomfort to true set the negative vibes free. Thats what I think however could be wrong not an expert at this yet but can BECOME One overtime with Practice.
Was wondering if you could give me a little more background on the suggested 2hr usage limit. I'm in LOVE with these CDs. Spent two months 2-3 times per day with 'Equisync II', and earlier this week shifted over to 'Equisync III'. Since moving into Equisync III, I'm naturally drawn in my morning sitting to about 1 1/2 hrs with the tracks looping through my iPod. Then I sit again at night. I feel great. So is the 2hrs suggested for people with little prior meditative experience, is it a precaution for those whose psyche may be more fragile and prone to getting uber spacey and not managing their lives?
Your brain operates at certain levels of activity – the normal waking, active Beta, the meditative Alpha, the asleep-and-dreaming or deep meditative Theta, and the deep sleep/unconscious Delta. Beta is characterized by one thing we all want to get away from – stress.But that brainwave state has its place. It's the action mode, and that's the way it should be! If we're not alert when we're awake, bad things can happen, right?

BC-NE--Swim Trials-Taxpayer Tab, NE
May 16, 2019
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha has pledged $750,000 in taxpayer money to cover some of USA Swimming's more than $3 million in costs to host the 2020 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that the City Council approved a plan Tuesday to make the second of three annual $250,000 payments to the Omaha Sports Commission for USA Swimming.
City officials say the money was needed to ensure the trials will still be held in Omaha after one of the organization's largest corporate sponsors, Mutual of Omaha, scaled back support.
Omaha hosted the swimming trials for the third consecutive year in 2016. Regional tourism officials say the 2016 trials brought in about $74 million.
USA Swimming spokeswoman Belle McLemore declined to comment.

FREEHOLD, NJ – Last evening's violent thunderstorms may have left some residents with unanticipated repair bills. Before hiring a contractor to make those repairs, the Monmouth County Department of Consumer Affairs wants you to be aware of the following:
- Home improvement contractors, including landscapers, must be registered with the state;
- New Jersey Contractor Registration Law states you have three days to cancel your contract; Make sure you cancel in writing and send it by certified mail;
- Check out the contractor's complaint history and registration status by calling 732-431-7900. Or, look online at www.njconsumeraffairs.gov;
- New Jersey law does not dictate pricing. A business can charge whatever it wishes for a repair. Do your homework and get some estimates. You cannot get your money back if you agreed to the price. Don't make final payment until all work is completed;
- Make sure your warranty is in writing. If it is not, you don't have one;
- Find out if permits are needed. The homeowner is ultimately responsible for obtaining the permits and inspections.
"Storm damage takes homeowners by surprise and puts them in a predicament whereby they may need to make repairs right away," Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry said. "I urge residents to do their homework and contact the county Department of Consumer Affairs for assistance."
The county Consumer Affairs office investigates auto repair shops, landscapers, mail order purchases and Internet sales on behalf of Monmouth County residents. So far in 2010, the department has recovered $354,000 in restitution for county customers. Contact the office at 732-431-7900.
"We are focused on helping residents resolve all consumer-related issues," said Patricia Watson, department director.

Fireflies, my dear; think "fireflies."
Yeah, Millie should have a firefly.
It'd go nicely with Ozy's serenity.
I see what you did there. Shiny.
I once spent a week on an island in a lake in the middle of Canada.
Yes, it was *dark*. Like bottom of a cave dark. It was disorientating.
But I just *loved* the night sky when there were no clouds.

Inktober 2018 Day 28/
This one didn't conjure anything especially obvious for me, but I did come up with this, which was fun.
This one didn't conjure anything especially obvious for me, but I did come up with this, which was fun.
I think this one's my favorite of this set.
...Never feed him a lot.
...So nice and cool...
Still debating whether this one needs a belt, or sash, or something.
As promised, the collected set of kobold tokens:
Mythic Portal and I have decided we're going to delay putting token packs up for sale until we have more than one compete pack - they apparently sell much better when buyers can see that there's more of the same to choose from. Unfortunately that means it's probably going to be quite a while yet before anyone can actually buy these - it's taken me several months to get 24 tokens done, since I must work on these alongside other projects in a limited amount of working time. I'm hoping I can get them done a little faster as time goes by and I start to be able to work when the twins are both home and awake, but that hasn't quite happened just yet, so we'll see.
Half finished!
I'm cheating a tiny bit on this - when finished, the magic will not have a black outline, but since it will still have a stroke, I figure this is fine.
This one's a little sorcerer!

Study reveals suppliers fail to satisfy
Deficient services, uncompetitive pricing and lengthy lead times are condemned as the most alarming failings of current water and wastewater treatment equipment suppliers, reports Frost & Sullivan in its most recent report (water.frost.com).
Trials of a cholera vaccine manufactured in Viet Nam at a cost of about only US$.20 per dose have produced encouraging results, especially for children, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). The vaccine elicited high levels of immunity in children for whom the risk of endemic cholera is highest, as well as in adults. These responses were comparable to those elicited by a Swedish-made vaccine that has already been licensed for use in several European countries.
Work began in Viet Nam during the mid-1980s on the production of a killed oral cholera whole-cell vaccine that could be used in the country's public health programme. The vaccine was later modified so that it could also counter a new form of epidemic cholera that emerged in the 1990s.
The researchers found that the Vietnamese vaccine was associated with no side effects and caused a better immune response in children than in adults, for reasons that were not clear. Further studies are needed in order to evaluate the clinical protection it confers.

GRANGER, Ind. (AP) — Michigan's ban on the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes could spur new business for vape shops along the state's Indiana border, a clerk at a northern Indiana store said.
Michiana Mini Mart, which is just south of the Michigan state line, saw a surge in business last year when Indiana legalized alcohol sales on Sundays.
Antonia Hurd, the store's assistant manager, said she thinks Michigan's flavored e-cigarette ban could have a similar effect, the South Bend Tribune reported.
"We got a nice boost when Sunday beer sales was approved," Hurd said. "We're hoping for good business off of this too."
Michigan ban on flavored vaping products starts today
Illegal vape name draws scrutiny as illness spreads
Last month, Michigan became the first state to ban flavored e-cigarettes after the state health department found that youth vaping was a public health emergency, which followed a recent uptick in lung illnesses and deaths related to vaping. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday that 18 vaping-related deaths have been confirmed in 15 states.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said companies use hundreds of enticing flavors — fruits, desserts, breakfast cereals and candy — and deceptive advertising in an effort to "hook children on nicotine."
But advocates contend those under 18 aren't allowed in vape shops. Lawsuits have been filed, but the battle over allowing flavored vapes is likely to move into the Michigan Legislature.
Michigan sees first death from vaping-related lung problem
Opinions differ over vaping products as poison or potion for people trying to quit smoking
Coley Rayle, a Michigan resident who prefers flavored vaping juice with nicotine, said he decided to stop at a tobacco store in Granger, just south of the Michigan border, while on his way to work in Indiana last week. Rayle noted that more people will be pushed to Indiana stores to purchase their favorite flavored e-cigarettes due to the six-month embargo by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that could be further extended.
