Uncover The Hidden Truth Behind Cell Phone Radiation…
And Learn How To Protect Yourself and Your Children
The Information That's Been Hidden From You
It is a proven fact that wireless technology (a necessity in today's advancing world) exposes us to and increasingly alarming slew of health hazards. We tend to wipe these hazards under the rug since no one wants to give up their smart phones and the like. But the facts speak for themselves. We now have concrete evidence that a 30 second cell phone call can disrupt and weaken every cell of the body for up to 18 hours! Electro-Magnetic Radiation (EMF) is the plague of the 21st century, much like cigarettes were last century. Protecting yourself and especially your children (our future) is not an option, but an urgent necessity.
Get The Facts
The latest studies confirm what the cellular phone corporations do not want you to know. Even casual use of a cellular phone can damage the DNA in sensitive areas of your brain. A landmark study conducted by Dr. Henry Lai of the University of Washington showed that even at low levels, exposure to EMFs cause DNA damage to brain cells resulting in loss of short and long-term memory and slower learning. He further noted the DNA damages to be cumulative over time.
A study done at Penn State University concluded the EMF exposure caused a cascade of microbial destruction in the body. The damage takes place between .024-.0024 W/kg which is much lower than any electronic device. Unfortunately ear pieces do not help your EMF exposure either. They are shown to act as 'conduits' to funnel as much as 3 times the harmful radiation to your brain.
What worries our Doctors the most about increasingly harmful and more powerful EMFs is the exponential damage it has on young brains and bodies.
Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York states that "30% of all childhood cancers are associated with EMF exposure".
A new review of studies on cell phone radiation health risks has been published by L. Lloyd Morgan, senior science fellow at Environmental Health Trust, in the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure. The review highlights findings on radiation effects on children and unborn babies. There have been numerous studies showing that the bone marrow of children absorbs 10 times more EMR than that of adults. "There are toys being sold to infants and toddlers that are dangerous," Morgan says. "The risk from exposure to any carcinogen is higher in children, and the younger the child, the higher the risk."
Stop Right There!
I Have Something Very Important To Tell You. Keep Reading…
The review authors point out that Belgium, France, India "and other technologically sophisticated governments" are passing laws and/or issuing warnings about children's use of wireless devices—and yet the EMR exposure limits in the US have remained unchanged since 1996. They also note that smartphone makers specify in their manuals (although it's usually buried in the manuals in small print that people rarely read) that their products must be kept at a minimum distance from the body so that legal limits for exposure to EMR aren't exceeded (the minimum distance from the body is 20 cm or 7.8 inches).
So what about you? Have you been feeling the accumulative effects of EMF without recognizing it like most people are? Do you wake up groggy, foggy, and slightly non-motivated? Do you feel the need for stimulants such as caffeine or sugar to get you through your day? Is EXHAUSTING a part of the vocabulary used to describe your life? Almost as if someone turned down the dimmer switch to your life? These are some of the early warning signs that your body is being bombarded and overworked by too much Electro Magnetic Radiation. You may already be in the second phase which includes headaches, dizziness, fatigue, chronic colds, a lowered immune system, and even muscle aches and pains. These symptoms should not be ignored. EMF is a contributing factor to all health concerns, and the effects will continue to accumulate over time.
We state again, decreasing your EMF exposure is not an option. It is a necessity. But finding a proven effective, doctor approved way to dramatically decrease exposure has been out of reach for all but the wealthiest among us. Why? Because until now devices used to block harmful EMFs were highly costly and extremely hard to come by.
That is until now! With the release of the Patented World Breakthrough Technology EMF Shield, everyone can be safe again. Why expose yourself to these ever increasing levels of radiation if you don't have to? You can have protection delivered right to your door and with no risk to you at all!

Customers with extra cash are often drawn to 'Pro' appliances and devices without closely examining their features. After all, who doesn't want something that is good enough for people to make money by using it? The Waring Pro WMK600 Double Belgian Waffle-Makeris another purportedly-pro waffle maker – read on to find whether it delivers accordingly.
It wouldn't be unfair to call the WMK600's appearance peculiar – it resembles a coffee-making machine more than a waffle iron. The commands and the metallic design can seem a bit lackluster, but never judge a book by its cover, especially if the purpose of that 'book' is preparing delicious waffles.
Waring Pro waffle maker's 15x10x9 dimensions make it medium-sized, but it can actually bake a lot more than you might think.
It makes full use of its rotary system to produce two large waffles, with the appliance splitting each waffle into four triangle pieces. One waffle is baked at the top and one at the bottom – you're supposed to rotate the handle during the baking process, which could prove tiresome. Still, the option to bake two big waffles at once makes the WMK 600 a godsend for larger families, as they can create no less than eight waffles in a single go. Since most irons make four waffles, and with some making as little as two, Waring's Pro model handily beats out most of its competition in terms of mass production.
Going on to the features, the WMK600 doesn't have a whole lot of options – some might enjoy the simplicity, while others will hate the lack of a timer and similar features, especially given the name of the device. A simple button rotation will dictate the baking intensity, and there are three different beep tones, one for every baking stage. Unfortunately, misinterpreting one of them could lead to burnt waffles, so you'd do well to memorize each.
Adding to the tiring qualities of the baking plate rotation mentioned above, the WMK600 actually instructs you on the waffle-turning direction, which contributes to making the whole thing seem like a chore. Some will long for the option to press a button and go somewhere else until the waffles are done – while the manufacturer promises that the turning bakes the waffles more evenly, they'll still probably turn out similar to what they would in any other waffle maker, except with more action on your part. On the plus side, having to turn the handle around as the waffles are being made might make you feel like you did more to cook them than simply pour the batter in.
A lot of large families are looking for a cheap waffle maker that will feed everyone quickly – if you're in a similar situation, or if you simply have a large appetite that doesn't like waiting, this waffle iron will make a great choice. Besides, its coffee-maker-like appearance will also help blend it in your kitchen seamlessly.

By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer
WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Robert Gates outlined for the first time Wednesday his concerns about oversight of private contractors in Iraq, telling Congress that he sent a fact-finding team to Baghdad and reminded U.S. commanders they have the authority to discipline private workers.
Gates also said he was troubled by security contractors' practice of luring soldiers out of uniform by offering them higher salaries. He said he was looking for ways to put legal limits on that practice.
In remarks to the Senate Appropriations Committee, Gates said he understood the reason for having 137,000 private contractors in Iraq – their presence allows U.S. troops to focus on combat while simpler tasks like providing food and laundry services and guarding fixed sites are done by private hires.
"But we clearly have to have proper oversight procedures and oversight activities in place to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to," he said, adding: "My concern is whether there has been sufficient accountability and oversight."
Gates appeared before the committee to spell out the administration's request for nearly $190 billion in new funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the discussion quickly turned to the issue of private security contractors in Iraq, some of whom have been accused of rogue behavior.

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of her talk show, the 59-year-old has taken to Instagram to share a hilarious throwback snap with fans… and she looks completely unrecognisable!
"Here's a photo of me when I was just about 15 (WHY God, WHY?!)" she wrote.
"Post a post a photo from when you were 15 with #ellen15 and you just might see yourself on my show next week."
In the shot, a seemingly unimpressed Ellen can be seen grimacing at the camera through her voluminous auburn curls.
And while her face appears a little rounder in her teens and her trademark suit and sneakers are nowhere in sight, her piercing blue eyes are just as striking as ever.
Many of the star's 47 million followers were quick to point out how much she had changed.
"You look like a totally different woman!" one user penned.
"You've matured beautifully," added another.
It's a major milestone for the Ellen DeGeneres Show, with the actress recently admitting she has no plans to wrap things up.
"It's still exciting," she confessed in an interview with Good Housekeeping.
"There is so much great energy and love in that room."

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path. - Proverbs 3:5-6
Welcome. I am glad you have found your way here. My name is Alexandria, and I am the writer behind Digital Ink & Parchment. For thousands of years, people have used writing as a tool to communicate and share stories, and that is what this blog is meant to do—share testimony.
After receiving my bachelor's in English, I continued on to graduate school for my master's in Communication. Six months after graduating, I received a fantastic job offer, for what I thought was a dream job, and moved across country. Personal circumstances altered my life to something I didn't recognize, and six months into the job, I resigned.
Stuck in an unfamiliar place, with my life feeling like it was imploding around me, suffering from anxiety and depressive symptoms, I struggled to find meaning. I went back to teaching college, but felt something was missing. I knew my mental health was suffering. So, I went back to my roots--writing. I began publishing on multiple online platforms, rebranded the blog I had put to the side, and sought help in the form of therapy and church. As I became more involved in the church, I realized my faith was my biggest weapon. I sought out ways to help regain my sense of self and re-establish my relationship with God.
I had been praying for an outlet for my anxiety aside from journaling, and I knew I needed to stay active. This led me to an at-home fitness program. I had tried exercise before to relieve symptoms, but I always left feeling even unhappier than when I started. But this was different. After 3 weeks, I was hooked, and I joined the company. I lost weight, but it was more about what I gained in those three weeks that kept me going—physical and mental strength and confidence in myself.
As I improved my headspace, I started seeking out what I knew I had always wanted to do—write. I eventually got a job at a local food cooperative as their Content Writer, and I suddenly felt I was using the gifts God had given me in a meaningful way. As I progressed through my probationary period at the job (and got a promotion!), I realized this was exactly what I was meant to do.
I believe God brought me every piece I needed as I needed it. He has been ever faithful, even in moments I thought He had forgotten me. Everything I do I pray stems from Him. So, Digital Ink & Parchment was brought to fruition. It's a place to share an authentic, faith-based lifestyle that shows you don't have to be perfect to be a Christian and connects faith, fitness, and mental health.

watercress pesto
Dips and sauces prepared in advanced can make a world of difference at the end of a hectic day with the kids or at work. This pesto is made with watercress because it is currently in season but could be made with kale, spinach, parsley or basil. And isn't that colour just amazingly inviting?
large bunch of fresh watercress, washed thoroughly
100g pine nuts
2 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
chopped garlic (optional)
- In a food processor, add the watercress and pulse.
- Add the pine nuts and blitz until reaching a crunchy texture.
- Add the olive oil, salt and pepper and pulse some more.
Making pesto is not an exact science and if you make this regularly, you will enjoy tweaking the flavours and the consistency.
The Health Boost Tip
Spring and summer menus are full of opportunities to experiment with green pesto. Pesto is a great base for a bright and zingy salad dressing if you add olive oil and the juice of a lemon. Spoon some of this pesto on top of a salmon fillet before grilling and you have a quick and delicious meal ready in no time!

Somewhere along the way this year, I realized that as much as I want to be in control of my life, if I really were, that life would be very dull and boring — and safe.
Erin & I last year at The Annual Christmas Soiree. (photo by Annie?)
2010 was full of unexpected things for us, and last year this time, I never dreamed:
Indie Craft Parade would come together
we'd finally visit our friends in Europe
our favorite college student would be living with us
we would still be in our current house
I wouldn't be part of the new CoWork space
I'd have a brand new job
that we could be dog owners
we'd be attending a different church
every couple we know (pretty close!) would be expecting
that we would say goodbye to Mimi
It really is amazing how fast things can change. So much happens in a single year, and who knows what 2011 will be like for us, for our friends and our family. I used to wish for things to stay the same. But when I stop and think about how much I've changed and grown since last December, I know I would never want to still be where I was then.
The funny thing is that I'm sure I'll feel the same way this time next year.
*The title was borrowed from one of my favorite movies, Dan in Real Life

What are the origins of past, present, and future climate change? In his Perspective, Stocker discusses ways in which the climate system can act like a seesaw, as the high northern latitudes push and pull against the Southern Hemisphere to create abrupt shifts. Stocker briefly discusses a report in the same issue by Steig et al., showing that Northern and Southern Hemisphere climate shifts act in synchrony. A related Perspective by Cane looks at the role of the tropics in paleoclimate. Recent observations and model calculations indicate that effects of climate change in the tropical latitudes merit a closer look.

Why enjoying special time together is important
When you and your child enjoy special time together, you can learn to see the world from your child's point of view. It's a chance to find out more about your child's likes and dislikes, her worries and her frustrations.
Spending time together is also a way of giving your child your full attention, sending the message that he's the most important thing to you.
Walks or other activities with you are great opportunities to guide your child in the ways of the world, talk to her, listen to her and enjoy being together.
Playing games and having fun with you can help your child feel happier, be more relaxed and build resilience for the teenage years. That's why it's so important to lay the groundwork now.
Sharing special time can be great for you too – it's your chance to be a kid again and just have fun.
Setting aside some regular special time for the two of you can help your child to handle the times when he doesn't have your full attention, or the times when you're apart.
It helps you stay close and up to date with what's happening in your child's life and shows that you enjoy and value her company.
In all these ways, sharing happy experiences helps to build your relationship with your child.

Sometimes you can make special time and have fun as part of your everyday family life:
- Cook your favourite dinner or make a special after-school snack together.
- Go shopping together and let your child help to make decisions, pay for things and have conversations with shop assistants.
- During car trips, the non-driving parent can play games such as 'I spy with my little eye, something that starts with (and say a letter of the alphabet)' or 'Who can see the next car with a number plate that makes a word?' and so on. You can also sing along together, changing words to make the song silly or bring in the names of family members.
Play and games
Here are ideas for more structured fun activities:
- Play word games and make up jokes and riddles together. You can start with jokes like 'Knock knock' or 'Why did the chicken, frog, cow (whatever makes you laugh) cross the road?' Then get your child to make up his own.
- Rough-and-tumble play can help your child learn how to be strong without hurting. It can also help your child learn how to 'wind down' from a state of high excitement. But if you find it revs your child up, try not to have rough-and-tumble play too close to bedtime.
- Play board games like 'snakes and ladders', dominoes and simple card games. These will help your child to learn to play fair.
Outdoor activities
Here are ideas for getting outside with your child:
- Play outdoors together. It's not only fun and good exercise, it can also help your child practise skills and get better at things like climbing and catching.
- Lie on the grass and look for shapes or animals in the clouds.
- On a dark, clear night, go outside and look at the stars.
When it comes to play and your school-age child, let your child take the lead – you'll soon find out what sparks her imagination.
If your child misbehaves during 'fun' activities
If your child misbehaves, first try to work out why he's acting up.
Are you expecting too much? Is your child tired, or just tired of a particular activity? You might just need to try something else, or it might be a sign to stop and try again later.
Or you might be able to use the misbehaviour as a teaching moment and a chance to guide your child's behaviour. For example, you can help your child learn how to stop, walk away and calm down.
Your child feels more connected to you when you set fair boundaries and have rules and consequences. If she helps you to set up some of the rules and consequences for breaking them, she's more likely to remember them. It makes her feel safe and secure within your family, which is a great way to grow up. It also helps with encouraging independence in the teenage years.

Service Obligations
One component that applicants to CBANS should understand are the requirement for service obligations. CBANS is funded through a federal personnel development grant, which are designed to increase the supply of qualified special education personnel in variety of fields nationwide. Therefore, as part of receiving funding, Institutions of Higher Education ensure that all scholars who receive funding through their grants agree to work in the field of special education or related service in which they receive training. Scholars must agree to work in the field of special education for two years for each year of funding they receive. In order to ensure that our scholars are more likely to comply with this obligation, we require that all CBANS scholars already serve in a special education position at the time of acceptance into the program.
CBANS will be utilizing the National Center on Service Obligations for all our scholars to track service obligation requirements. If you are accepted as a CBANS scholar, one of the very first things you have to do is hold a service obligation contract meeting with Dr. Taylor. If you are outside of the Reno area, this can be done through Skype. At this time, she will review with you again the details of your obligation, you will be asked to provide some identifying information for the Department of Education, which will be entered into a contract that you will sign. (If the meeting is through Skype, the contract will be scanned, emailed to you, and you must sign and return) This must be completed before you can begin coursework or receive any stipends. We will also have to gather further information regarding your past degrees, current work environment, etc. All of this information is entered into the National Center on Service Obligations database and each year we are required to update the Center on your progress in the program, and the amount of funding you have received.
Once you have completed your program, we will hold a completion meeting, at which time you sign the contract again, indicating that your time in the project is complete and at that point, you can begin your time towards your service obligation. At that point, you will be given information on how to log into the database yourself on an annual basis and provide the Department of Education with proof of your employment status and they will let you know how you are progressing towards "repayment" of your obligation.
This is a legitimate, legally binding agreement. Please be aware prior to applying to CBANS that if you do not complete your service obligation requirements, you may be required to repay any or all funds you received from the grant. If you leave CBANS prior to completion of the program, you are required to repay all funds received to that point.
If you have any questions, please visit the website linked above. There is a FAQ site there that covers just about any and all situations, and if you were to call Dr. Taylor and ask a specific question regarding your situation and the service obligation, you will sit on the phone while she scrolls through the website to look for the answer. If you familiarize yourself somewhat with the concepts and expectations of the obligation, then that first meeting will be shorter and less stressful.

Bears and pandas can be deadly and they're nothing short of that in Tekken 7. The recently posted trailer by Bandai Namco showing the two bears, Kuma and Panda, reveal various scenes of combos and the their alt outfits. Tekken 7 is set to release for PC, PS4 and Xbox One sometime during the early part of 2017.
That's right, if you've enjoyed playing as animals in past fighting games or as Kuma and Panda, you should be glad to know that they will make a return in Tekken 7. The trailer for the game shows the standard stuff like combos, outfits and the two silly looking bears in action. You can check out the new video below.
Over on Bandai Namco's official blog, the site details information regarding both Kuma and Panda.
As Heihachi Mishima's pet, Kuma joins his master into the Tekken Force to fight. The bear proves his loyalty by protecting the Mishima Zaibatsu while he was believing his master was dead. After the defeat by Jin Kazama, he finally found Heihachi again and became one of the "most essential" participants of the Tekken Force.
Panda is Ling Xiaoyu's pet and bodyguard. After Jin Kazama disappeared, Xiaoyu set out to find him, ignoring the dangers that were involved. Worrying for his master as she never returned from her dangerous journey, Panda set out after her to bring her back to her senses.
Furthermore, the new Online Tournament Mode was also noted on the blog page, which announced that players will be able to participate and create their own online tournaments with seven other participants. According to the post, players will find single and double elimination options, secured entrance for tournament with passwords as well as a Spectator Mode. As the outcome or rewards of the tournament, players will earn in-game content such as fight money and various items.
Tekken 7 is set to release for PC, PS4 and Xbox One during the early part of 2017.

The second in the Wilfair series.
Nineteen-year-old hotel heiress Fair Finley must steal a motel and its pool from Monty and Gomery Overbove, her handsome, friendly neighbors. But places are changing places with other places and the world is going weird, and only the cousins' moms can help.
Fair, the guys, and her best friend Sutton leave LA and make for the Sierra Nevada mountains in order to find the ladies. Their journey is not easy.
Problem one? A large, underground building is hot on the group's tail. Problems two and three? Fair's favorite movie star shows up in the mountains, as does her longtime rival, and neither will stay out of her snooded hair. Then there's the curious inky taste in air at The Redwoodian. Ick.
But the biggest issue of all? Fair's desire to toss the kindly cousins out of their motel home continues to falter. Fail, really. Kaput.
If the young hotelier doesn't steal the little motel and its pool then Thurs Mathers, the crisp-shirted tycoon of front-page fame, will snatch her hotel and fast. Meaning she can't get any closer to the cousins, and Gomery in particular. Because getting involved with someone you're trying to finish off? Bad idea.
Especially when the person you're trying to finish off isn't exactly stopping you. Especially when he's kind of helping.
Redwoodian Summary
The second in the Wilfair series.

Project Goal: The project was part of international sustainability conference at IIT Bombay, where each team was asked to come up with an interactive solution which would also cater to the national and international audience, coming to attend the conference.
Customers & end-users: Visitors to the exhibition, Students participating in the conference, international guests, common public
Methodology: Indian civic authorities are constantly struggling with inculcating basic civic sense in its citizens which resulted in "Swachcha Bharat" campaign flagged off by PM Modi. In this era of smart cities and not so smart people (tongue in cheek remark) we devised a dustbin which brings itself to the user called Sustain-O-Bin. Hence, saving the effort of finding the nearest dustbin, that could be hidden away from public sight. Totally based on smart sensors, fabricated with packaging material used for laptops n gadgets.
Success Metrics: Creating awareness, motivate people for the social cause, project received a lot of press and accolades.
Design & development team: Ajay Mittal, Aniket, Aniruddha, Mandar, Saurabh, Shashwath

Do you mess with the keyboard configuration on your Mac? Of course not. Most Mac users just use the keyboard the way God and Apple intended. As is.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, Apple says. There's no magic in a keyboard. The present is the touchpad. The future is voice. However, if you're curious about improving your Mac experience, you'll enjoy playing with the strangest looking, but most cleverly implemented Mac tool to customize and use a virtual keyboard.
Hot Mouse Flower Drum Song
Customizing the Mac's keyboard isn't difficult. Even Apple gives us a few options to assign this or that to the Function keys. The Mac's onscreen virtual keyboard is decidedly ho hum boring.
Enter Hot Mouse Flower. Yes, that's the name of this clever customizable virtual keyboard tool for Mac users who still dare to Think Different™.
By hitting a custom shortcut key or clicking on the Menubar icon, Hot Mouse Flower pops up on screen in a kind of odd looking, flower-like pseudo keyboard arrangement with the screen pointer in the middle.
What does Hot Mouse Flower do? Click on a key in the Flower and that key is sent to the front application on your Mac.
Hold down one or more of the modifier keys, and they're combined with the clicked Flower key. Presto change-Oh. Multiple hot key combinations from a single Hot Mouse Flower key.
See? That's Hot Mouse Flower.
Preferences are straightforward and easily modified. Select each key in the Flower and adjust the settings. Move keys by grabbing and moving up or down in the stack.
Hot Mouse Flower will stay open on your Mac's screen until dismissed by hitting the Escape key. Or, simply move the screen pointer over the Exit zone.
Why do you need Hot Mouse Flower (regardless of how clever the interface, or useful virtual keyboards can be)?
Most Mac users won't have a need for an app that modifies the keyboard.
However, if you exercise a little curiosity, you'll find that Apple's default keyboard could be improved by simply assigning different functions to select keys.
For example, I never use the Media keys on my Mac's keyboard. By assigning them to a different function, I gain a little productivity with nominal effort. Repeat as needed.

Stanek Family | Newborn Session at Home | Norfolk, VA
Newborn | Norfolk, Virginia | Family Documentary Photographer
I don't photograph a ton of newborn sessions, but when I do, they're instantly my favorite. Maybe partly because I'm getting so close to having another squishy babe in my own house.
My sweet friend Bethany is friends with the Stanek Family and asked me to take her place for their newborn session at home. They were such troopers not having tons of information on what to expect from me (we met the day of their session and only texted back and forth a few times), but they were absolute naturals. They are so taken with their first born little boy and it made my job so easy.
I dare you to look at these and not want a squishy little one for your home too. :)

Ark Anguish
The article by Mike Belknap and Tim Chaffey ("Reimagining Ark Animals") caused me some anguish because it sounded like all the "just so stories" from evolutionists. How could a tiger, for example, appear from a mating of the cat kind depicted in the article?
Deborah C., Longwood, Florida
Editor's Response: Creationists and evolutionists agree that animals change, sometimes drastically (look at dogs, for example). The distinction between creation and evolution lies in at least three considerations about that change:
- Extent—Evolution says change is limited only by time. Creation says change is limited to a created kind.
- Time—Evolution says millions of years are available. Creation says any changes must have happened rapidly.
- Driving Force—Evolution holds that animals change through random mutation over millions of generations. Creation claims God designed animals to adapt to their environment.
Evolution involves change that is random, slow, and unlimited. Creation involves change that is purposeful, relatively fast, and limited—by design—within a prescribed range, even if it sometimes appears drastic.
Seeing Snowflakes
I was excited to read Larry Vardiman's article, "Snowflakes—The Patron's Gift." If you are interested in seeing the beauty of snowflakes, get a magnifying glass and observe some on your coat sleeve or car windshield.
To do your own snowflake photography, get a digital camera that has a super macro setting. Try catching snowflakes on a piece of glass and experiment with backlighting. Do your work in an unheated garage or shed and dress warm. You will be amazed at the photos you can get.
Steven J., Burbank, Pennsylvania
A Horse Is a Horse
In the Kids section of the January–March issue, the Mesohippus is given as an ancestor of the modern horse. That sounds like the typical evolutionary mantra. What evidence is there of such a relationship between the small three-toed animal and Equus caballus? Couldn't Mesohippus have just been an odd kind by itself?
Janet W., DVM, Middlesex, New York
Author's Response: On the surface, the idea that the tiny Mesohippus and large modern equids belong to separate created "kinds" seems reasonable. On the other hand, the skull and teeth of Mesohippus and similar fossils in the horse family (Equidae) exhibit characteristics unique to equids. There's presently no way of verifying whether Equus descended directly from Mesohippus or from one of the other horse varieties but the presence of these defining features identifies all these equid species as expressions of the same "kind."
Concerning smaller size and multiple toes, hundreds of fossils consistently confirm these as common attributes of early equids. Size increases in the Northern Hemisphere made good metabolic sense to endure the Ice Age, since larger animals can retain body heat better. Regarding the number of toes, certain equids—like the large, modern-looking Dinohippus—had both one- and three-toed individuals within the same species! So body size and number of toes can vary greatly, even within a species (let alone the larger created "kind"). This would not be evolution but variation within a kind.
Reinforcing the Bible's Authority
Thanks, Answers, for another great issue. "Do Creationists Change?" and "How to Myth-interpret the Bible" by Ken and Steve Ham are superb. They really help to keep Christians focused on biblical authority.
Larry M., Lewisburg, Ohio
What's in a Name?
I received the Jan.–March 2016 issue about two weeks ago and, with college starting back up, I read only a few articles. "Bruce or Caitlyn . . . What's in a Name?" gave me a beautiful perspective, but I certainly didn't know I would need it within the coming weeks.
I found out last night that one of my friends is transgender, and I have been struggling with anger at Satan and my friend. Sifting through my disappointment, I remembered Corey Abney's beautiful article and reread it.
God is who I will be focusing on as I interact with my friend. God will receive glory even in the yuck. Thank you for your prayed-over articles . . . they are making such a difference.
Soli Deo gloria!
Sarah H., Lincoln, Nebraska
Are Trees Alive?
Dr. Don DeYoung's article "Why Not a Square Tree?" describes trees as "arguably the oldest living things on earth." But as creationists have long pointed out, the biblical definition of life precludes plants from being alive. They "wither" in the Bible but are never described as living or dying.
Eric B., Marshall, Illinois
Editor's Response: "Life" has two common meanings, as used in the Bible and as used in biology. Both are good and useful. The article uses the word in the second sense.

Published at Wednesday, August 28th 2019, 13:22:41 PM by Jacqueline Lamarre. Living Room
Accessories like rugs, cushions, etc play a very special part in forming the character of the room. Mix and match accessories to give the room and interesting look. You can also display your souvenir collections in the living room so that it catches the eye of visitors and makes the area more appealing. But do see to it that you do not over crowd the room with your knick knacks.
The living room decor should be kept as pleasant as possible. It should ideally reflect the taste and personality of the people of the house. We may not often have a choice in the architectural aspects of our living room, but we certainly can make it look great by adding in our own touches through furniture and accessories, not to mention lighting.

When we were in the hospital, we had a day where we thought everything was ok. Our time in the hospital feels like we were there weeks, and at the same time a blink of the eye. But on day 2, I had this sense of that we can do this. We were going to get through it. Nora's blood tests were coming out well and it seemed that the medicine was going to make a difference.
To this day, I don't know if I was delusional from lack of sleep and heightened emotions or if she really was having a good day. I introduced Nora to the world via facebook and said that 'today was a good day for a good day'. And for a couple hours it really was. I remember talking to my dad and Terri in Florida about all the things that we were going to do and how we needed to do something nice for the nurses for being so kind. I now wonder what planet I was on. Things started to go really wrong that night, or maybe they were the whole time? Matt was taking the first shift so I could pump and sleep and he texted me that I should come back and those are the moments that keep popping up in my head. The doctor started our descent back to reality by asking us our feelings on resuscitation. I had recently read an article from a doctor friend that discussed how cruel resuscitation could be and the amount of pain it could prolong. How could we do that to her?
I keep thinking about that. A good day for a good day. This past Tuesday by all accounts should have been a good day. Matt got a promotion, my grandmother's house officially was sold, and a friend's husband was offered the job that he wanted. I went to an event that evening with a friend, and I was telling her about all the good things that happened, and how we should get lottery tickets.
But something was missing. When I got to bed that night, all I could think of was that no matter how good of a day it was, its not that good of a day because we don't have Nora. With too much wine and champagne in me, I couldn't hold back the sobs. I haven't cried like that in a while. I felt it building all week and tears would fall, but this was the heaving, chest hurting sobs that you can't stop. A good day for a good day. I don't know how we'll ever have a real good day again. Will everything be seen from this view now?

To make this classic spicy tofu dish you can find all the ingredients in any grocery stores except 2 - Chinese fermented black beans and hoisin sauce.
First let's talk about the dried fermented black beans. They are a staple in a Chinese kitchen. I remember growing up my mom would steam fish or clams, cook green beans, make chicken rice or practically anything with them. The salty, umami flavor they lend to any dish makes them one of the most versatile ingredients in Chinese cooking. Good news is you can get them from any Chinese grocery stores or even order them from Amazon.
To make a black bean sauce, I usually put about a tablespoon of fermented black beans in a mortor, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of hot water and use a pestle to crush the mixture into a lumpy paste.
Now let's talk about hoisin sauce. You can pick up store bought hoisin sauce but I have yet to find a clean product that doesn't contain refined sugars and artificial ingredients. Good news is you can make your own. It really is simple and delicious! Once you've made a batch, you can throw it in stir fries or use it as a marinade or dipping sauce for anything. Check out my recipe here.
Now you're ready to make this delicious dish! A lot of the sauces and spices can be adjusted to your taste, so don't freak out over the exact amount!
- 1 cube of (14oz) tofu, dried and cut into cubes
- 1 Tbsp of olive oil
- 1 or 2 red chili peppers, crushed
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tsp of ginger
- black bean paste - 1 Tbsp of fermented black beans + 1 or 2 Tbsp of hot water
- 2 Tbsp of home made hoisin sauce
- 1 1 /2 cups of mushrooms
- 1-2 Tbsp vegetable broth
- tamari to taste
- sesame oil to taste
- ground sichuan pepper to taste
- maple syrup to taste
- 1 tsp of arrowroot powder
- cilantro to garnish
- In a large skillet, heat up oil. Add chili peppers, garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add black bean paste, hoisin sauce. Cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes.
- Mix in tofu and stir.
- Add vegetable broth.
- Season with tamari, sesame oil, sichuan pepper. Add a little maple syrup for more sweetness if desired.
- Stir arrowroot powder to 2 Tbsp of warm water to create a paste. Add to tofu mix to thicken the sauce. Coat all ingredients evenly with sauce.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.

I see the light on.
It's sitting in your window,
far across the town.
I knew you came back.
You went on a journey
and left me a note,
you didn't say
when you'd be back
but I hoped
you would tell me.
I gave you a package
all tied up with string
to protect you
on your trip across the sea,
I now know that it sat
unopened on your door
for who knows how long.
I can
take a hint,
but I didn't,
I don't,
want to.
I avoided
walking past your
looking to see
if there was a light inside.
I avoided
thinking about
what once was
and which throw away comments
were really
thrown away.
I see the light on.
It's sitting in your window
far across the town.
I know you came back,
but for my sake
and for yours
I will see that light
as a shuttered window.

Art Class: Damien Hirst - Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable @ Palazzo Grassi
This is my first art class blog to feature an exhibition that isn't part of the Biennale here in Venice running from May-26th November 2017.
This exhibition has been running since 9th of April and will continue on until the 3rd December 2017 at the Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana , a stone's throw away from the Academia Bridge located in the heart of Venice.
Damien Hirst is a world renown artist from the UK. Born in the mid-sixties and rising to prominence in the 1990s, Damien Hirst is very much the face of contemporary art in Britain and his art has been exhibited all over the world. Damien Hirst is also now considered to be the richest living artist in the world and his net worth is well into the hundred millions.
I decided to go to this exhibition because I've never particularly given any of Damien Hirst's work a chance. I just sort of assumed I wouldn't like any of it. Growing up in London I came to the belief that artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin belonged to the cult of Pop Artists whose unmade beds and Swarovski crystal skulls made by art slaves (Unpaid student interns) were auctioned off for millions of pounds whilst talented painters were relegated to selling caricatures in Covent garden in order to make ends meet. My friends know that I have a love of anything old or traditional. I adore religious and renaissance art, think more Hans Holbein the Younger and Caravaggio. Oil paintings and tapestries with rich and luxurious colours definitely caught my attention when I would be dragged along to galleries as a child and I didn't find an appreciation for modern art until my early 20s after years of being dragged to modern art exhibitions by my extremely talented and creative friends.
I will first say that this exhibition was not accessible at all. It costs 18 euros to the general public. I think free for Venetians, and students of the universities in the city. That was the only reason I didn't turn back at the door. Art class is all about exploring and opening my mind and learning about new art along the way. One thing I am grateful for in England is how accessible art is for everyone. Most of our galleries are free and we pay a small fee to enter most exhibitions. Venice relies heavily on its tourism so I suppose I can't be too bitter about it. Besides, now I live here I'm on the benefiting end of these regulations.
The exhibition space was amazing! It was at Palazzo Grassi; A stunning Palazzo done in the classical style with a facade constructed from white Marble. Right in the centre was the statue of the 'freed slave' Cif Amotan II. The exhibition details the story of the ancient wreck of a ship named the Unbelievable and the treasures found inside.
Apparently this exhibition took up to 10 years to create and it shows fantastical and sometimes outrageous 'discoveries' from the sunken ship. One of my favourites was a sculpture from the jungle book and a moss covered transformers bot.
This was definitely a good entry level Damien Hirst exhibition if, like me you actually had no idea as to what his work actually entails and it was... not bad. In fact I have to say I quite enjoyed the exhibition. It wasn't my favourite but it's worth seeing. If you have 18 euros or access to a Venetian student card come by and check out his work. There is a lot to see and the space is pretty amazing!

3 things that underwear taught me about excellent customer service
By Cate Schreck - Service Excellence Coach
Andrew Griffiths (Australia's #1 Small Business Author) recently asked me to answer this question, "What did you learn in your first job and how does it apply in your business today?"
My first job was in 1984. I worked Friday night and Saturday morning at the local variety store in Warracknabeal, Victoria. My duties included being bright and friendly to the customers whilst making sure all the products for sale were neat and tidy and the labels and tags were facing up so the customers could clearly see them. The underwear section was always a mess and I become an expert at folding bras, knickers, socks and jocks and I could win Gold if stacking a shelf was an Olympic event.
Some customers wanted things done differently and not all customers were bright and friendly but I was taught that my job was to be professional and helpful, not judgemental. I was taught 3 things;
- Presentation counts - of me, my workplace and my products/services.
- Smile and be friendly to every customer - no judgement
- Make it easy for customers to access products and service - less fuss and more bother
Talk about a Lightbulb Moment! Andrew's question reminded me that those 3 learnings still underpin how I provide service to my customers and it's what customers still want and in some cases will pay more to receive.
Where some businesses fail is they forget that excellent service is not a "one-size fits all" process and customer service staff need a set of skills to provide a consistently superior level of service to every customer, every day. Those skills can be learned and need to be refreshed or they can be forgotten.

Letter: Thank You, Team
To the Editor: It takes a team to host the 37th annual Life. Be in it. Extravaganza. God blessed us with the best four days of weather ever for the 2018 LBII Extravaganza. Not only was the weather great, but the crowds were enormous. This week of special events is our largest fundraiser for the year and the Newington Parks and Recreation Department offered the largest variety of family entertainment for both young and old alike. I want to thank several groups of organizations. I wish I could name specific people that go above and beyond the call of duty, but I would run the risk of hurting many people's feelings that I leave out. So here goes.
Thanks to all our public safety professional organizations which include the CERT team, the Newington Ambulance Team, the Newington Fire Department, and the Newington Police Department.
Thanks to all 27 sponsors that help subsidize the cost of the entertainment and offered free giveaways. Our major sponsors were Century 21 Stamm Realty who sponsored the helicopter rides, Church of Christ Congregation for sponsoring the free ice cream sundaes on Wednesday, CT Beverage Mart for the free wine on at the Bring Your Own Cheese BYOC Party, Rosenberg Orthodontics for the free two story high inflatable Tiki Falls water slide rides, Re/Max Realty for the hot air balloon rides, Rogo distributors for the craft beer tasting event, and CMI Sound for the professional sound throughout the park. Without these public/private partnerships we couldn't host this event.
The Newington Parks and Recreation Board, chaired by Mr. Don Woods, is one of the most dedicated, generous, and bipartisan boards in the town of Newington. People don't realize that each of the member's volunteer all week long putting in long days and nights selling carnival tickets, wristbands, and pitching in wherever needed. They are responsible for selling advanced craft beer tickets and help with the publicity throughout the year. Without them we couldn't maximize our profits.
A special thanks to the over 40 volunteers that help our department serve the public, pour beer and wine, pick up trash, collect donations, count money, sell T-shirts, greet people, sell carnival wristbands, and direct pedestrian traffic.
Many thanks to all the numerous Newington Parks and Recreation seasonal staff for their magnificent efforts assisting us in a wide variety of tasks. They worked tirelessly, always with a smile on their faces and they represent us in fine fashion.
Furthermore, our Parks staff worked very hard throughout the weeks leading up to the LBII Extravaganza getting the grounds, pond, and facilities looking fabulous. They manicured the turf, shrubs, and trees. They help setup, run the events, and clean up after everyone leaves the park. They are more supportive of our department's mission than ever.
In addition, I wish to recognize our superior and exceptional professional staff. I will personally name them because they simply deserve the credit and acknowledgement. Karen Gallicchio, Nick Pizzoferrato, Joe Harvey, and Emmett House are the hardest working most dedicated Parks and Recreation professionals in the country. They each worked over 80 hours this week making the service to our town the most important responsibility and put their own families' needs on the back burner for the week. I am so proud to have the opportunity to coach them and work alongside them all. I have witnessed professional Parks and Recreation staff teams of equal size throughout the country and I, unequivocally can say, that they rank at the top of the success list. I hope the town residents understand how wonderful they are and take a minute to thank them when they see them out and about in town.
Lastly, the Parks and Recreation Department set on a mission to help build a strong community. With everyone's above mentioned help and the residents that are actively participating in our events, we are well on our way to achieving our goal. Thank you everyone for your help, involvement, support, and generosity of time and money. We all are making the Town of Newington a better place to work, live and play.
With deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks, William A. DeMaio, CPRP, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation

For the last week I've spent some time with the 4G LTE equipped variant of Microsoft's Surface Pro thanks to the help of the UK PR team. This tablet is clearly a 'special team' member of the Surface Pro family looking towards Enterprise partners, but is the cellular connectivity an awkward addition or a vital secret power?
Let's start with the design side. The Surface Pro, much like most enterprise-focused mainstream technology, does not look to wins in the cosmetic side of things. The radical departures and design features belong to the Surface Book and Surface Studio, the Surface Pro is going for practicality in terms of design.
That means there's little difference to draw between the Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, and Surface Pro (which has curiously not been called the Surface Pro 5). Not least because the Pro 4 and the Pro are the same physical size (the SIM slot is hidden under the kickstand, which now rotates back even further). That means all the brickbats and bouquets that were there for the Surface Pro 4 still apply.
The changes of note are going on inside the slim footprint. In Microsoft's words it has put the focus on "more mobility, more power and more flexibility." The mobility comes from improved connectivity to the internet through a mix of WiFi and 4G LTE, more flexibility comes from the Windows 10 package compared to the other tablet options of Android or iOS, and more power comes from the chipsets and specifications on offer.
Starting with power, if you want to have the sort of power that could go up against the iPad Pro's A10X then you are limited to the Core i7 variant of the Surface Pro. Of course there are other advantages to the slightly less powerful i5 machines in the Pro range - not least the wide range of software available for Windows 10 - so a direct comparison is tricky to make. But the Surface Pro line is clearly targeting the Enterprise market (as well as the prosumer who needs constant connectivity) and that market has multiple applications and infrastructure that demand a Windows-based machine.
That's where the Pro delivers - it offers the modern tablet experience as well as legacy support for industry and a multitude of developer options that do not leave you tied to a closed ecosystem with limited options. Windows, iOS, or Android? Well the Surface Pro offers you a high-end tablet, with Windows 10 and all of the compatibility that offers.
It's hard to get over in a written piece just how much the changes to the digitizer have made to the experience. The gap between the 'surface' layer of the glass and the 'content' on the display underneath has been reduced once more. That places the nib of the Surface Pen even closer to the action, improving the verisimilitude of the digital ink. With new sensors in the Surface Pen and the Surface Pro allowing for recognition of the stylus's tilt angle, as well 4096 levels of pressure able to be detected, this is an area where there is a clear improvement.
One area may not be an improvement, given your opinion. Unlike the Surface Pro 4, the Surface Pro does not ship with the Surface Pen in the retail packaging - it is an additional purchase. In part this allows customers the flexibility to decide if they want the stylus with the Surface Pro, if they will use an existing older Surface Pen (which is possible), or if they will use the touchscreen with their fingers.
It's also going to keep the base price of a Surface Pro down, which might be a key consideration with larger enterprise orders. I can't help feeling that splitting out one of the key USP's of your product to be an additional purchase is the wrong move to make, even if it means the cost between old and new devices now looks broadly similar. The consumers are going to look at the total price, but they're also going to think that it's a sneaky move.
Neither does the Surface Pro ship with the new Surface Keyboard - although this mirrors the previous Pro devices so is less of a surprise, but it still sits in the same wheelhouse as the 'additional purchase required' for the Surface Pen.
Just like the Surface Pen there is a noticeable improvement in this iteration of the Surface Keyboard - and not just the use of alcantara fabric. I've always prized a keyboard that offers me a lot of positive feedback. There is a solidity to the keys that requires a significant (but not tiring) level of force, and the resistance on offer is something that sits well with my style of typing. It's still a keyboard compressed into a few millimetres and there are better options available on larger machines… but this iteration of the Surface Keyboard has a balance between portability and input that is well-judged.
As noted, the ergonomic issues of the Surface Pro remain, so using the tablet, with the kickstand and the keyboard is still a bit of a balance on your lap, but works well on a desk or airline seat.
Although the outside dimensions remain the same, inside the Pro the motherboard has been shrunk which provides for more internal space for the battery. The extra 20% capacity, coupled with the power savings from Intel's redesign of its processors increases the endurance of the table. That extra capacity is clearly on show, and should offer you a comfortable six hours of mixed use when on battery power alone.
All of that is available in the regular Surface Pro package. It's a nice iterative update but if you were comfortable with the Pro 4 then the increased capacity may not be worth the upgrade price (Pro 3 owners though, this is what you have been waiting for specs wise).
But it's the addition of 4G LTE that refreshes the Surface Pro into something that is easier to recommend.
Let's be clear, the addition of cellular connectivity is not the secret weapon that will make the Surface Pro a must have for everyone. The wi-fi provides good enough connection for those who simply work in an office environment, while those needing a quick bit of mobile access will likely have a mobile in their pocket that can act as a hotspot.
As an enterprise device, as one that needs to have a connection at every moment possible, the Surface Pro 4G LTE wins out. There's a smooth handover between the different connection modes, with both physical SIM and eSIM options. Under the best conditions possible the Cat9 modem can offer 450Mbps download speeds - of course local conditions are going to drop that number, but that's not going to be the fault of Microsoft's tablet.
The Surface Pro 4 With 4G LTE (to give it its Sunday name) is both a boring update to the Surface's tablet line-up and one that pushes the envelope. Wherever possible technology has been polished and refined, but at the same time the Surface Pro style and offering is well understood so everything stays within that limited definition.
The addition of 4G LTE to this model narrows the audience appeal slightly, but I think the decision on whether the LTE connection is needed over the Wi-Fi only Surface Pro should be one that is easily answerable by an individual user. The Surface Pro family is Microsoft's vision of mobile hardware, and this 4G LTE helps bring the mobile part of that vision into clear focus.
Now read my first impressions piece of the Surface Pro from November…
Disclaimer: Microsoft UK supplied a Surface Pro 4G LTE for review purposes.

Croly puts squad on show in Norway
TREVOR CROLY believes that all of the 19-man Irish squad he will take to the tournament for out-of-contract players in Norway this week will eventually get contracts.
The former Shamrock Rovers assistant manager is also expecting to be back in work by the start of next year's Airtricity League campaign, although he won't be drawn on whether he could return to the club he left suddenly midway through last season.
His primary focus over the next few days is bringing the best out of the PFAI members who will fly to Oslo this afternoon and play against players from Sweden, Norway and Finland, in front of managers and scouts on Friday.
And the former St Pat's defender reckons members of his squad are open to the idea of moving to Scandinavia to secure their futures.
"The ultimate goal is for players to get contracts," he said. "Whether that is in Ireland or Sweden or wherever it may be. I think they would consider moving abroad. I think the contracts that players were getting a couple of years ago are very different to what they are now. We all need finances to survive, so I think they would move.
"It would be brilliant if they did, for their own development. We don't get coaches, managers or players to other countries to learn. I think it would be good for the players and football in Ireland."
The squad includes members of the Sligo's FAI Cup winning squad with goalkeeper Brendan Clarke, Conor Powell and John Russell all on the lookout for new clubs.
Despite their success last season, the trio have not reached new deals with the Bit O'Red and Clarke said it has been a frustrating time.
"We played (in the FAI Cup final) on the Sunday, then all of the players are looking for their P45 on the Monday so they can get straight down to the welfare office," he said.
Other notable names in the squad are former Shamrock Rovers midfielder James Chambers and PFAI Player of the Year nominee Daryl Kavanagh who has been on trial with several English clubs.
Meanwhile, Shelbourne have signed former Bohemians midfielder Glenn Cronin. Shels have already resigned a number of their 2011 squad for next season.
PFAI squad -- Goalkeepers: Brendan Clarke, Peter Cherrie. Defenders: Simon Madden, Derek Foran, Conor Kenna, Liam Burns, Conor Powell. Midfielders: Daryl Kavanagh, Darren Meenan, James Chambers, John Russell, Stephen McDonnell, Ryan McEvoy, John Sullivan, Sean O'Connor, Karl Moore. Forwards: Stephen O'Flynn, Conor Murphy, Keith Ward.

If CBS CEO Les Moonves, who has been the subject of multiple sexual harassment allegations, decides that the company has given him "good cause" to leave, his extremely generous employment contract would leave him with about $174 million for his troubles, according to a Monday CBS report.
That loophole may be the reason CBS declined to suspend Moonves while external law firms began an investigation of his behavior.
The $174 million for voluntary departure isn't even the best-case scenario for Moonves. Should CBS fire him without "cause," Moonves cleans up with a $176 million package comprised of cash, company stock, health and life insurance and a pension. In addition, CBS reports that Moonves would get to stay on in an advisory role, and that he could pocket another $25 million if he opts out. He would also get a personal assistant and office space until the end of his previously agreed upon tenure in June 2021.
Even the worst possible option for Moonves is relatively cushy. If CBS fires him with cause, he does lose his severance, but would retain bonuses and stocks.
Mary-Hunter McDonnell, an assistant professor at the Wharton School of Business, told CBS that Moonves would likely contest his firing in that case, meaning that the company could be responsible for his legal fees, as well as the public embarrassment of the negative internal information that would be aired during the proceedings. She said that many times in these instances, the company will swallow the cost of giving the CEO a cushy escape route to avoid the headache of a drawn-out, well-publicized legal battle.

Angel Bilagot - Drama Therapist Testimony
Since making a connection with the iFilmGroup co-founders, I have come to realize that we share the same mission of providing a safe, supportive and creative environment that allows and encourages personal expression and growth. I know that we agree that this environment can then facilitate a positive change in a very meaningful way.
The iFilmGroup team has worked on projects which have included such topics as Addictions (Addictions), Electronic device attachment (Tuned In), Depression (Struggles Within), Teen bullying (Malicious Attack), and Domestic abuse (Blue Love). In speaking with the co-founders and witnessing their work, it is evident that this form of art is intentionally being used to tell stories that are meaningful and resonate with a wide range of audiences. This work is to be commended.
In addition to the films and potentially just as meaningful, the iFilmgroup also builds and supports a community behind the scenes. This is made up of the entire cast and crew. The writers, cast, and crew are essentially an inter-generational group coming together working towards the same goal. In this community, support, guidance, and mentorship is encouraged. For example, if someone in the community was interested in learning more about the filmmaking process, iFilmgroup would not only support it but also facilitate it.
The area of drama is a passion for me. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Drama Therapist. I have spent many years studying Theatre in relation to mental health and the benefits of the two worlds being brought together. I am dedicated to my work and the belief that people can find healing through the arts. Drama therapy uses drama and theatre to achieve therapeutic goals. Simply put, a drama therapist uses drama in a skilled and intentional way to help others. This type of therapy is done in a safe environment under the guidance of a trained therapist who can use these moments of theatre and play to help a client heal and grow.
It is through the art of drama that people can learn and discover many things. The process of acting out our feelings and emotions can be quite powerful and can help us with expression, confidence, regulation, prole solving, etc. It is this vein, that I support the iFilmgroup. The actor, for example, is given many outlets that are applicable to life. If the actor is to play an emotion, perhaps anger or sadness, this gives them a moment or several, to connect to this feeling. The can feel the emotion and express it in a safe environment. Or, it the actor is given the opportunity to try and run a scene several different ways until it feels right, this too is applicable to life. It allows the person to realize that there are many ways to approach a situation and that they have the ability to choose what is right for them. Additionally, giving an actor the opportunity to be part of a community filled with novices, contemporaries and mentors, allows them to discover how to be in such a circumstance. They can explore the different relationships and learning opportunities and who they are among them. Simply in being a part of the entire process of iFilmGroup is the opportunity to learn and grow.
It has been a pleasure working with the iFilmGroup team thus far and I look forward to many more opportunities in the future with this amazing group.
