Expert Testimonials
Kindermusik provides the time and tools to help bring the power of music into your home and your child's life forever. But don't just take our word for it, read what the experts are saying about Kindermusik.
"Kindermusik provides the sound nutrition to improve movement, listening, and expression in young children. Through activities and music making, skills for parents and children alike create inroads for the great orchestration of a family's hearts and minds." – Don Campbell World-renowned authority on the transformative power of listening and music, and author of The Mozart Effect® for Children
"When introduced appropriately, music and literature play an amazing role in the development of infants and toddlers. I'm happy that Kindermusik has extended their programs to include this time of life when brain development is most vulnerable and parents are most in need of support and direction." – Claudia Quigg, M.Ed. Founder and executive director of BabyTALK, a program dedicated to helping parents become better parents to their children
Parent/Student Testimonials
It's not only the experts who love Kindermusik either. Parents and their children alike enjoy their experiences with Kindermusik also!
"Our 3 year-old Seth looks forward to each class with such vigor; we know he loves it. His musical interest has increased and is always identifying the instruments in songs now. We feel confident that when we pick him up from class, he will have had a nurturing, educational, and fun! experience." Sean Kirkpatrick and Sarah Bloom, Carpinteria
"Learning how to play the recorder was very fun! When Kathy would let us go on the air log, we always had fun. Kathy always made me laugh and have fun at class." Ally Jacobs, age 6 (at time of class)
"My daughters have been attending Kindermusik with Kathy for several years and it has been an amazing program to be involved with. It has been a class that we have consistently attended over the years as my children love the classes. Kathy is so incredibly energetic and engaging with young children that they always have a fun time and learn something from each class. Kathy also offers fabulous birthday parties that are great value. My daughter loved her 5th birthday party at Kindermusik. I would recommend Kindermusik with Kathy without hesitation to any parent of young children."
Julie Barnes, Santa Barbara
"I am discovering the joys of Kindermusik with my toddler granddaughter, this is our special bonding time together. She is already "dancing" to the music and showing a sense of rhythm. After raising my children with Gymboree two decades ago, it is a real treat to reconnect with Kathy, sharing her vibrant energy and love of children with my granddaughter! I look forward to years of Kindermusik classes together!" Julie Wexler, Santa Barbara
"We have been attending Kindermusik with Kathy since our daughter was 1 1/2 years old. She absolutely loves it! Not only does she enjoy singing the songs and reading the stories, but we feel she truly appreciates all the different styles of music that come from this class! Whether it is a country song, ballad, or lullaby, she is learning that music comes in all shapes and sizes. As parents, we have seen our daughter get so excited when a particular song comes on- and she demonstrates hand movements or gestures that she learned in class. Kathy and her team do a wonderful job of incorporating other aspects of fun and play- with an air log, parachute, and towel rides…they keep the toddler-crowd entertained and also plenty of variety so that each week it is something different and new. We are always pleased with how clean everything is kept, and how friendly and professional the entire staff is! Thank you, Kathy!" Dalina and Mike Klan, Montecito
"Our twin boys have adored being students of 'SB Kindermusik with Kathy' for many years. Kathy and her staff are nurturing, attentive and fun, creating an atmosphere where the children learn great musical foundations in a spirit of adventure and imaginative exploration. Thank you Kathy for helping plant a love of music in our kids!" Annie Torsiglieri, Santa Barbara
"Kindermusik has become a special part of our lives. Sarah and I look forward to Monday evenings. It is our very special time together. During the week, we continue to share the songs, chants and rhymes that we do during class. I cannot imagine what we did before Kindermusik." C. Shoobridge, Father of Sarah, age 4
"My daughter Lily started Kindermusik with Kathy when she was an infant. She loved going to class. That has translated into an enduring love for music and movement. Now she is nine years old and is taking Ukulele with Emily through Kindermusik. Ukulele has been an engaging first instrument. Unlike some instruments it sounds good even when a novice is practicing. Lily was able to play a simple song after her very first lesson. Her teacher Emily is fantastic. She is warm, patient, engaging, and has a way with kids. Lily learned to write her own songs and has performed in front of an audience. Taking Ukulele has been good for her confidence and has helped her find her voice. She is shy so it is wonderful to see her have the confidence to perform. Kathy has always said that music helps academics and so far this has proven true for Lily. Kindermusik is a wonderful way to introduce your child to the joy of music" Leise Thomason, Santa Barbara
When my daughter was a baby a friend in Canada suggested that we try out Kindermusik, as she felt it was helping her two children to learn to love music. We were very lucky to live here in Santa Barbara where Kathy Hayden's Kindermusik program is one of the best in the world. Kathy has built her program using her unique background in education and musical talents so that it includes singing, dancing, and the playing of instruments, so even the youngest children can become fully immersed in the musical experience. Maria Montessori said, "A child learns best through multi-sensory experiences. If a child can participate in a concept with his touch, smell, hearing and sight, the concept will be much more impacting and memorable." This proved to be the case! My daughter completed the entire series of Kindermusik classes, and participated in the additional Music Majors program that Kathy has developed for older children. Every week for 8 years she looked forward to her classes and they were the foundation for her continued interest in musical exploration. Her current piano teacher says that her memory for music is excellent, and I know that her previous experience with Kindermusik is the reason! My daughter loves music, when she hears a song she has to sing and dance along! Thank you Kathy, you have helped make love of music something special that our whole family can share. Paige Miller, Santa Barbara

A Unique Wellness Approach
As a Holistic Lifestyle Coach, I not only accumulate a lot of information to develop a comprehensive individual approach for each person I coach, but I also look at health and wellness in a unique manner. I use a common-sense approach in which I establish a foundation from the biochemical information I acquire from each client and then I'm guided by what is working for each individual.
A New Look At The Typical Guidelines To Wellness
If increasing health and losing weight was simply a matter of cutting calories and exercising more, then it would stand to reason that the obesity rate and illnesses would be decreasing in America. But the truth is that our obesity rate is rising, and the worst part is that the focus on calorie cutting and increasing amount of exercise can actually contribute to the problem rather than the solution.
Our diet and how we move are just two of many factors that contribute to either solving the problem or contributing to it. For instance, how much stress we are under, the amount and quality of sleep we get, how positive or negative our thoughts are, also play into our waistline, as well as potential illness and disease risk.
Most diets and fad selections that are dubbed as healthy, do not elevate most people into healthier state. These fad diets often create more symptoms in people, even when the initial results equal a lower number on the scale!
Here Are Two Very Commonly Asked Questions
Question: So how can it be if a person sees the scale move in the right direction that this could be the wrong choice?
Answer: We must look at both the short-term results and long-term effects. We may be borrowing from our future vitality and health in order to see the scale move right now! I want to point out here that we have a problem in our country with seemingly healthy people dying at a relatively young age (in their 20's and 30's) with no glaring cause. It may be too simplistic to say that the direct cause is mortgaging their future health to "look" good right now. However, this is what is being sold as health and I have to tell you. It is not healthy!
Question: How do I achieve the look of health while not sacrificing my future? If this possible in this day and age?
Answer: Not only is this possible, once you understand the principles, it's not really that difficult! The biggest challenge more people face is not doing what the majority of people are doing. The key is once you start seeing the results and how easy it is to follow, it makes it much easier to ignore all of the marketing and fads and instead, follow the results that make you truly healthy and improve the way you look, feel and move!
Stress And Exercise, The Misunderstanding:
Intense and long duration exercise does not reduce stress, it increases the stress load. Stress is one of the most common reasons for excess weight. Plus, if your stress level is high, adding an intense or long duration exercise regime can lead to trigger points, pain and injuries. Although it seems contradictory, if you are under excessive stress, working out with lighter movements and even stretching can actually cause you to lose unwanted excess weight much faster and more effective than intense exercise. This type of activity level is known as working in. Working in actually increases your energy level, increases your ability to recover from all types of stress and will provide more energy after you have completed a session. Together, we can figure out what works best for you!

About the series
Real People stories are about people volunteering, doing good deeds, achieving, performing, enjoying the outdoors ... making the most of life in Union and Wallowa counties. Do you have a story idea or photo for this feature? Email email@example.com .
A roomful of workers from Union County Public Works, the Imbler Fire Department, Union County Sheriff's Office, the local post office and other organizations were recognized Saturday for their hard work during the harsh winter.
The Pleasant Grove Grange held an appreciation dinner for those who had to work even harder than usual fighting the elements this winter in Union County.
About the series
Real People stories are about people volunteering, doing good deeds, achieving, performing, enjoying the outdoors ... making the most of life in Union and Wallowa counties. Do you have a story idea or photo for this feature? Email email@example.com .
The area residents, who were especially hard hit by the extreme snow and winds, expressed their gratitude for the workers' dedication. That was particularly true for the public works department employees in attendance, who worked around the clock to clear the roads, according to event organizers.
"We like to support the community," said Vicki Correll, one of the grange members. "That's one of our mission statements. The people who were out working had a hard time. This community is great and we like to support it."
Theresa Butts, another grange member, said the grange hall held a similar appreciation dinner about nine years ago at the end of a bad winter — and this year was even worse.
"The road group worked double shifts this winter," Butts said. "They didn't have a life during that time. Then we had people in the community who were going out and looking for people to save."
A highlight of Saturday's event were the stories told of surviving the coldest winter in 24 years. Local residents told personal stories of when they were stuck in the snow and a neighbor helped them out, and the workers in attendance had stories of their own.
Pam Hardy, who lives in Elgin and works at the Imbler Post Office, said there were times during the winter when she stayed at a friend's house because she wouldn't have been able to get out of her own home. She recalled one day when she was the only worker who showed up to deliver the mail because everyone else was snowed in.
Union County Sheriff Boyd Rasmussen said he wasn't immune to getting stuck in the snow. He recalled a morning when he got stuck in a snowdrift, but luckily a Union County Public Works department employee came past and was able to get him out.
Public Works Director Doug Wright said his employees worked 49 days straight over the winter.
"There was always someone out there working," Wright said. "Mostly everyone (in the community) was
understanding (about the time it took to plow roads). It was definitely a
winter to be had."
Rex Harden and Rick Croghan, both public works employees, said it was an "extremely busy" winter. Their shifts were generally 12 hours, if not longer, during the whole of the season.
Wright said the grueling schedule was made easier at times, like when the Imbler School District made a card for his department and all the students signed their names.
"There were so many good people," Wright said. "It goes a long way."

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Major central banks should prepare to normalize monetary policy as deflation risks have mostly disappeared from their economies and growth is picking up, the head of the Bank for International Settlements said on Tuesday.
The fact that that path might be bumpy was no reason for delay, though each central bank should choose the right moment to start the process for itself, BIS head Jaime Caruana told German daily Boersen-Zeitung.
The U.S. Federal Reserve is winding down its stimulus, having increased interest rates and looking on track to hike them at least twice more this year.
The picture in the euro zone is less clear, with the European Central Bank holding its main policy rate at zero percent.
In the face of mounting calls from Germany to scale back its stimulus as inflation picks up, it is also set to continue pumping billions of euros into the economy every month until the end of the year.
Three of the bank's top policymakers said on Thursday it would stick to that plan for some time as it was not yet convinced the euro zone economy had turned the corner.
Caruana, a former head of the Bank of Spain, said that, while the need for very expansive monetary policy had receded, central banks were moving through uncharted territory.
"It is therefore right to proceed gradually and cautiously... (But) it is important that now that monetary policy normalization has begun, this process should continue," he was quoted as saying.

Repeater is a powerful network device which is used to regenerate the signals, when they travel over a longer distance, so that the strength of the signal remains the same. Repeaters are used to establish Ethernet network. A repeater exists as the first layer of the OSI layer that is physical layer. Repeaters are used for cables which cover the needs of the 100 meters long cable. Repeaters are used to get signals from optical fibers, copper cables and coaxial cables. The repeaters have been developed to perform more important uses such as to regenerate the microwaves from a satellite; such repeaters are named as transponders. Hence repeaters are capable of carrying electric as well as light signals.
Use of Repeaters in Ethernet
In order to achieve greater and efficient signal length, often repeaters are used in the Ethernet. The purpose of the Ethernet repeater is to carry signal from one Ethernet cable and take it to the other cable without attenuation or loss of signal strength. More over repeater helps system to work powerfully by detecting any collision. If a repeater identifies any collision, it sends the signal to the all connected ports. Repeater is used to connect various segments in an Ethernet. A multiport repeater is often used for this purpose. If between two host devices there are more than five segments. Often repeaters can detect improper links; hence data flow is terminated till the accuracy or rectification of data. Repeaters are smart devices; they regulate the signals and control the signal flow. As a result the wires can be protected from damage or breakage. Repeaters also enable the continuous working of the network segments, if though if one of the segment is broken and it is unable to perform the function. Thus repeaters are helpful for the smooth functioning of wired networks.
Just like wireless routers, now there are wireless repeaters in the market. Wireless repeaters extend the range of your wireless signals, without embedding further wires or devices. If you require an instant and efficient boost to your detoriating signal strength, all you need to do is to place a wireless repeater between your computer and WAP. Wireless repeaters work by receiving radio signals from a WAP and regenerates and deliver it into the form of frames. The use of wireless repeaters offers an operator sufficient convenience to use wireless repeater instead of adding more access points .wireless repeaters can overcome the major weakness of wireless systems. This major weakness of wireless signals is termed as signal attenuation. Wireless repeaters are capable enough to enhance the coverage of wireless signals. When a repeater is placed in a remote location, where the network signals can travel, but become weak. The connectivity in such cases is increased due to the use of wireless repeaters. For example a person has to travel for its research project, if he or she carries the wireless repeater with him/her; he or she can regenerate the signals using repeater. This is due to the fact that covers the gapes in communication and provide flawless roaming.
Use of repeaters in star topology
In a LAN when each individual unit is provided an access to communicate directly with the central device or hub, it is termed as star topology. Topology can be defined as the physical set up to establish a network connection point. This central device is also called a multiport repeater. The purpose of this repeater is to allow the signal to travel over longer distances. Multiple ports Ethernet repeaters are used to overcome the deficiency of star topology cabling.

Relicario Rum
Even today, the oldest members of the island still recount the beautiful story of distant afternoons spent in front of the sea and how, to the rhythm of the rolling waves, they would share with strangers and travellers the story of one of the best rums ever seen. The legend goes that a Spanish merchant stepped off old ship in the mid-19th century at San Pedro Macorís, in the place that was then known as the jewel of the Caribbean.
This solitary figure who, years later, would be widely known as Captain Bennaser, soon enchanted everyone he met during those harsh years of deprivation and slavery. Blessed with a kind and warm manner, he instantly became a much-loved travel companion in convivial evenings among friends. It was during one of these bountiful evenings that he met an old man who was an expert distiller of rum. He let him try this wonderful nectar, and his extremely demanding palate was left captivated.
Captain Bennaser didn't think twice about asking the generous distiller if he could keep such a prized gem to enjoy during long trade routes. The captain knew that he had in his hands the secret of authentic Dominican rum, and kept it adoringly locked away in an ancient and mysterious reliquary. After a while, the old merchant suddenly disappeared, just as he came, taking with him the secret and precious treasure he had discovered.
Relicario production
Relicario Rum is easily recognizable thanks to its pleasant and complex aromas. It's a light rum, and a fine example of Dominican rum-making technology:
- The fermentation and distillation of the must, which is made from sucroserich stalks – the same kind used to make sugar with – that are rigorously selected in accordance with sugar-making know-how and tradition. From the fermentation of these sugary stalks we obtain the sugar cane bi-products, which are later distilled in different phases. The production of these distillation phases is rigorously monitored and controlled by proficient distillers – well learned in the art of distilling – who, thanks to their experience, are able to produce fresh, distilled products that will eventually turn into pleasant, aromatic and aged rums, capable of captivating even the most demanding of palates.
Our product, which we include in the RON EXTRA(Superior Quality Rum) category, is defined by the fact that among its formulation, a number of different rums are used: rums aged for over 10 years, base rums – aged for a minimum of 7 years – and other exclusive selections from our cellar, which all contribute to enhancing its flavour and distinctive nuances. The use of small amounts of these exclusive, well-aged products, is only justifiable in the case of the highest quality products, as is the case of this SOLERA EXTRA.
One of the defining features of this product is the third ageing phase, during which the mixture of aged rums is aged, once again (isolation phase) so as to attain a full integration and harmony between the attributes and nuances provided by each one of the aged rums that make up this product.
Each and every one of the ageing phases takes place within our cellars, which are exposed to Caribbean climatic conditions, which are very favourable for the formation of aromatic compounds.


text: Sydney - Belgian driver Thierry Neuville holds the edge over his rivals in the race for the runner-up spot behind new world champion Sebastien Ogier heading into this week's Rally Australia.Frenchman Ogier secured his fourth consecutive world championship title by winning the Rally of Catalonia in Spain last month and the focus of the season's final round is on the fight for second.Points breakThat rests between Hyundai Motorsport's Neuville, Norwegian Andreas Mikkelsen in a Volkswagen and Hyundai's other drivers Hayden Paddon and Dani Sordo.Neuville holds a handy points break over Mikkelsen in second place in the championship with Paddon also in contention. "We are just 14 points ahead of third and 17 points ahead of fourth so it will be tough, but I think it will be hard for them to beat us," Neuville said."I like this rally and have always had good speed here. We will try to keep it safe, but still go fast and get some important points for second place."Rally Australia, starting on Friday (Nov 18), is a 313km event incorporating 23 stages around Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales state.For Mikkelsen and his teammates Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala, the race will be an emotional end to Volkswagen's involvement in the sport it has dominated for the past four years after announcing earlier this month it would no longer take part."It is sad, devastating to let go of something so positive, but for sure we will try hard to finish in style after a good year and many good seasons," Mikkelsen said.Rally rewind: Australia 2015 - https://t.co/shNQ75QHnf pic.twitter.com/mN62bXxUhJ— WRC (@OfficialWRC) November 10, 2016New Zealander Paddon put a lot of pressure on himself in Australia in 2015 and said this time it was all about being as relaxed as possible in the lead-up."We have a lot of New Zealand fans coming over for the rally and a lot of Australian supporters too, so I'd like a podium finish," he said.

Police investigate fire at High Point apartment complex
HIGH POINT, N.C. — A contractor suffered minor burns on his hands after a blow torch he was using caused some insulation to catch on fire while he was replacing a water valve at Hunter's Point Apartments.
The High Point Fire Department responded to the fire at 2231 Shadow Valley Road Friday afternoon and quickly extinguished the fire that made its way into a void in the wall in the apartment building.
The contractor told fire investigators that he always makes sure to clear a large area around places he works with the torch and was surprised when the insulation caught fire.
He suffered second-degree burns to his hand while trying to put out the fire.

Liverpool frustrated by battling Burnley, 1-1
The sight of Virgil van Dijk reappearing in Southampton colours on the same day that Liverpool suffered another defensive calamity hardly improved the mood of Anfield supporters starting to question manager Juergen Klopp's methods.
The failure to buy the Dutch centre half-or anyone else as an alternative-remains a sore point on Merseyside where Liverpool's substandard defence was exposed for the third match running in a 1-1 Premier League draw with Burnley.
No one blamed Dejan Lovren yesterday because the Croatian, who was badly at fault in conceding Sevilla's Champions League equaliser on Wednesday, was injured, but his replacement fared little better.
Ragner Klavan, and partner Joel Matip, were criticised after failing to clear the ball and allowing Burnley to score. That left the home side facing an uphill struggle to secure the win demanded after last week's thrashing by Manchester City and the disappointing midweek draw.
Klopp did his best to put a positive spin on the result but it is again hard to look beyond the club's failure to solve their recurring problems in central defence. The manager said he was "angry with the result but pleased with the performance" after Liverpool failed to make their subsequent dominance pay.
"It's our fault. We were dominant, fantastic attitude. We played good, were fluent with seven changes, but only one goal," added Klopp, who recalled that last season Burnley beat them 2-0 at Turf Moor.
"It's the best we have played against Burnley since I have been in. In the past we didn't feel good in the game. Today I saw fluid movements, passing between the lines, speed, crosses," added Klopp, whose side registered 35 efforts at goal to the Clarets' five and enjoyed 70 percent of possession.
"We have to take the point and carry on." Klopp's midweek assertion that his scouts had been unconvinced after watching potential alternatives to their main target Van Dijk about "500 million times" attracted scorn on social media with some fans complaining that the German was starting to sound like former manager Brendan Rodgers in his final days.
Even the sight of Philippe Coutinho starting his first game of the season hardly lifted the mood with Klopp's case probably not helped by a parade of former Liverpool greats before kickoff as the club marked their 125th anniversary, a celebration that only highlighted the current problems. Ultimately, Klopp will be measured against the achievements of the past, which is never far away from Anfield. With the club already five points behind leaders Manchester City, it is starting to look like a long, hard winter for the German. - Reuters

Liz and Spike learn how to forgive when someone treats them badly. And they also learn that it isn't easy to do.Play Episode
Episode Theme: Forgiveness
1. In Ephesians 4:32, Paul tells us to forgive each other as God forgave us in Christ. What did God have to forgive us for? What does it mean that he forgave us "in Christ"?
2. It's usually easy to forgive someone when they cause us problems by accident. But what if it keeps happening—by accident or on purpose? What if we have someone in our lives who is always causing problems? That's what the apostle Peter wanted to know. He had heard Jesus talk about how important it is to forgive others. In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asked Jesus if he had to forgive others as many as seven times. Jesus told him not to stop at seven but to forgive 77 times. Some people think he meant 70 times seven. That's 490 times! He wasn't telling Peter to carry a notebook and mark down every time he forgives. He was telling Peter to keep on forgiving and never stop! As you listen to this episode, think if there is anyone you need to forgive.
In this episode, Liz and Spike try to get back at Teddy for ruining their science project. But the more they try, the more trouble it causes. Liz finally learns that it's better to forgive than to get revenge.
The memory verse says that we are to forgive others as God forgave us. What did God forgive us for? He forgave us for disobeying him. All of us are sinners (Romans 3:23), even you! But even before we were born, God sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross for those sins. He was preparing to forgive our sins before we even sinned!
Now God is telling us that he wants us to forgive others the same way. He wants us to forgive before the people we're forgiving even say they're sorry. He wants us to forgive even if those people aren't sorry! The only way we can do that is to remember that it's exactly the way he forgave us.
Want to dig deeper and learn about forgiveness? Check out Psalm 103:12, Ephesians 1:7, and Hebrews 10:17.
What does Teddy do to make Liz and Spike want revenge?
He makes them fall and ruin their entry for the Science Expo.
What do Liz and Spike do to get back at Teddy?
They tape him to a tree and cause him to miss field hockey tryouts.
What happens when Teddy "helps" Liz and Spike with their science experiment?
They both turn purple.
What does Grandpa suggest Liz and Spike do to Teddy?
Forgive him.
Get a piece of paper and crayons or colored pencils and create a way in words or pictures to remind you of what Jesus has done for you. Tape it in a place you'll see every day. When you see it, remember that you're supposed to forgive others just as he forgave you.

If memoir is your thing, this is one of the best. It's the story of a regular guy swept up in WWII along with everyone else. His experiences are real and honest and true. Good book.

Alaska is known for the extreme cold, ice and snow in the past decades. Today, people of Alaska enjoy the greening of the 49th state of the United States of America. There is almost year round indoor farming that could grow anything as long as the sun shines.

Alright, so with the signing bonuses rolling in, let's do some math and figure out how the Astros are doing financially with the new system:
Total Bonus Pool: $11,200,000 to spread over 11 players.
Committed Bonuses: $5,150,000 (Correa, Phillips, Minor)
Other signees, at slot: $889,900 (Rodgers, Aplin, Bircher)
Total bonuses: $6,039,900
Recommended bonuses for unsigned players: $2,754,800
If we add up the total bonuses (again, we're having to guess at Rodgers, Aplin, and Bircher), both committed and recommended, we get $8,919,700 - or $2,280,300 under the allotment. So it's possible that the Astros could bump McCullers' offer up to $2.5m and still have $1,039,000 left to go after the prep unsignables (Ruiz, Virant, Hinojosa, Traver). Also, keep in mind that if the Astros do not sign Ruiz, they lose the $360,200 recommended for his draft position.
10th Rounder Joe Bircher was a senior (as is 7th Rounder Preston Tucker), so it's doubtful they signed right at slot, likely giving more wiggle room to the numbers.

Yoga therapy is the adaptation of specific yoga postures, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to treat a range of medical, physical and stress-related conditions.
It is non-invasive, has no side-effects and can be practised safely in conjunction with almost any medical treatment. No previous experience of yoga is required and treatment programmes are tailored to suit any level of fitness and flexibility.
At Yoga Doctor we endeavour to provide an individual, relaxed and professional service using an evidence-based approach. We specialise in one-to-one yoga therapy and small group classes in London and Kochi, tailoring yoga and breathing programmes for each individual's medical condition, constitution and lifestyle.
In addition we offer yoga classes at the workplace, yoga retreats in India.
In India, yoga is regarded as a science of health and healing. The ancient practice of yoga has been used for centuries to treat a range of illnesses and physical injuries. Its curative as well as preventative value is well recognised and evidence based.
The stress of modern day living unduly strains the heart, creates chronic muscle tension, over stimulates the hormonal and nervous systems and weakens the immunity. The traditional wisdom of yoga provides a holistic approach to managing health and restoring life balance.

The Issue
While physicians hold the leadership role in their organizations, they rely on effective staff to keep the organization running smoothly. Equally important is patient care and effective communication. Powerful transformation occurs when physicians can inspire open communication between their staff, themselves and their patients.
If your organization has hit a roadblock, patient satisfaction is low, your expectations are not being met, and have a general sense that operations could be running more effectively, this would be an opportunity to participate in our Collective Voice workshop.
Our Approach
We understand the negative impact poor communication and low engagement can have on a healthcare organization. We also know that when equipped with the proper tools, physicians can quickly turn things around.
At DCC, our team of healthcare-focused coaches has helped develop a high-impact, engaging, and experiential one-day workshop that addresses effective internal communication which can benefit any healthcare organization.
In this workshop, doctors are given a process, tools and techniques to:
They will learn how to:
Why DCC
Investing in programs to increase engagement and open communication lines is critical. We know a toxic environment makes it hard to recruit and retain employees – an ever more and more important need – as Healthcare Reform continues. We also have a cadre of experienced facilitators that are masterful at working with physicians.
We are committed to helping our clients create lasting change and lasting results. This means that while we have an arsenal of research, data and assessments, we know that true change does not happen with just receiving new knowledge. We guide physicians through experiential processes so that each participant leaves empowered with tools they can use right now.

This B&B was my best choice of my journey to Canada. It was easy to access to Old city(by walk). The clean and convenient facility and warming host made me comfortable and satisfied. There is peaceful mood in that place. I could feel relaxed during the stay. I will choose this B&B for next visit undoubtedly.

Philippe was very helpful before our arrival and welcomed us very graciously. Clean and well appointed, exactly as described. Breakfast delicious! If we visit the city again there is NO doubt we would stay at the Chateau. Thank you Philippe!!!

We enjoyed our recent 2 night stay at Le Chateau du Faubourg. We wanted the experience of staying in a chateau environment while visiting the old city and were enchanted by the furnishings and restoration of this historic home. Walking through the front door was like taking a step back in time, yet our room had all the comfort and amenities of a modern facility. We felt the price was a very good value, great location, and excellent breakfast!

2 death sentences overturned by Fla. Supreme Court
Ralston Davis, Michael Shellito sentences overturned
The Florida Supreme Court is overturning two death sentences, including one given to a Broward County man who killed three people in a crack cocaine rage.
The court cited mental health issues in its decision Wednesday to convert Ralston Davis' death sentence to a life sentence.
Davis shot 28-year-old Myosha Proby in December 2005, ordering her to her knees before firing 26 rounds from an assault rifle. He then fatally shot two strangers at a nearby gas station.
The court also overturned a death sentence given to Michael Shellito for the 1994 murder of Sean Hathorne in Duval County and ordered another sentencing hearing.
They agreed Shellito's attorney didn't represent him well during the penalty phase of his trial.

The Best Designer Luggage Lines
Purchasing a new piece of luggage can lead to some difficult decisions. Many questions arise, like what size is best for the type of traveling I do? What features must the bag have? And lastly, what is the best brand to get? With so many designer brands delving into the luxury luggage market, these decisions continue to become even harder to make. These are my picks of the best luxury luggage.
Gucci Supreme canvas carry-on suitcase
Ever since being founded by Guccio Gucci in 1921, this Italian brand has become one of the most instantly recognizable names within the fashion industry, representing impeccable style and craftsmanship. The Supreme carry-on bag from Gucci is ideal for long weekends or to take with you on board. Made from durable coated canvas adorned with the label's GG insignia, this large holdall is trimmed in smooth chocolate brown leather and brown leather handles.
Fendi printed faux textured-leather travel trolley
Known for its iconic FF monogram, Fendi's faux-textured leather travel suitcase is adorned with gold studs and trimmed in smooth, signature brown leather. This stylish yet practical piece features a front pocket to keep travel documents within easy reach and internal buckled straps to secure your items.
Eddie Harrop The Voyager fringed textured-leather weekend bag
Handcrafted by local artisans, The Voyager weekend bag from Eddie Harrop features cool grey leather with a stylish touch of fringe. With metal feet for protection, this generously-sized weekend bag includes an interior pocket and a detachable shoulder strap to keep your hands free when on the go. Neon-orange stars on the zip pulls add a subtle pop of color.
Globe-Trotter Champagne 33″ extra deep suitcase
The spacious interior of Globe-Trotter's larger cases adds function to the simple yet vintage look of the luggage brand, which has been making suitcases since 1897. Englishman David Nelken founded Globe-Trotter in Germany but moved it to the UK in 1901 and it has remained there ever since. Past owners include the Queen and Winston Churchill. Its Deluxe Editions include the luxurious Champagne (seen here), Caviar, Orient and Pearl color schemes, all with high-quality leather corners and straps.

Cruise, Jacko Lawyer Safe for Now | 'Mr. T' Creator Is Hollywood Literati | Steve Carell, Chris Rock, Lauren Hutton
Notorious private eye Anthony Pellicano will be arraigned this morning on a variety of charges still unknown (not this afternoon as previously stated) in Los Angeles.
Pellicano just finished a stretch in prison on Friday stemming from an incident in which he threatened the life of a reporter.
Sources tell me that when his indictment is unsealed at a noon press conference in Los Angeles federal court, there will be many famous names and juicy tidbits.
But termed "safe" for the moment is famed entertainment attorney Bert Fields, who regularly employed Pellicano but has insisted that he never knew or authorized him to break the law. This doesn't mean that Fields will not become involved in the case sometime soon, but for today, he can rest easy.
Eventually, though, the Pellicano case could cause a lot of trouble for Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson.
Both stars at one time or another have retained Fields to represent them in unusual and delicate matters pertaining to their personal lives. And Fields, by extension, often used Pellicano in the obtaining of information on such matters.
In recent weeks, the Los Angeles Times has reported, authorities have been able to link Fields and Pellicano when they arrested a former Beverly Hills police officer who admitted using police computers to help Pellicano gather information on a man being sued by a client of Fields' firm.
In the case of Cruise, there isn't an arm of the entertainment press that hasn't gotten a letter from Fields sometime in the last 20 or so years demanding a retraction, correction or apology.
Fields has been a fervent defender of Cruise against all perceived accusations, allegations and possible libels or slurs. The matters almost always extended to speculation about Cruise's sexuality or religion.
At the same time, Fields is now legendary for representing Jackson back during his original child molestation scandal in 1993-94. Well documented by now, Fields interceded with the family of Jackson's accuser, shaping the terms of Jackson's settlement with them.
What's at the center of this is that Fields often employed Pellicano as an investigator. In the Jackson case, much has been chronicled about Pellicano's role as Fields's operative. What's always been extraordinarily interesting, my sources have insisted for the last two years, is that the raid on Neverland on Nov. 18, 2003, coincided with Pellicano starting his prison term in a seemingly unrelated matter that week.
Two weeks before Jackson's arrest and Pellicano's incarceration, Fields, according to Variety, "became the first lawyer to acknowledge that he had been interviewed by the FBI in connection with a wiretapping investigation of Pellicano."
Fields, it should be stressed, has always insisted he never knew about or authorized Pellicano's wiretaps.
Today, Pellicano will face the music big time. His indictment, re-arrest, and arraignment today comes after a 30 month sentence for possession of explosives.
All of it came from Pellicano's attempts in 2002 to stop a story by Hollywood journalist Anita Busch, whom he threatened with a dead fish, a rose and a note on her car window that said "stop."
The new arrest and indictment comes from the rest of Pellicano's shining career digging up dirt and handling sensational personal matters.
Fields, who admitted in 2003 to being interviewed by the government about his relationship with Pellicano, has always denied knowing anything about his illegal activities.
Still, he cannot be pleased that this day has come. No attorney wants to be in a situation where he has to reveal the inner workings of his office.
But the federal investigators may be very serious with regards to Fields — whether they prove to be right or wrong about his dealings with Pellicano.
The many dozens of boxes removed from Pellicano's offices in 2002 included files on many of Fields' high-profile clients as well as those of other prominent Hollywood attorneys.
It's a potentially explosive situation that could wind up naming not just Cruise and Jackson but lots of other stars who wouldn't want their personal business made public.
Sources told me yesterday that federal authorities have been so keen on Fields' involvement with Pellicano that, on the eve of Pellicano's new indictment, Fields' home in Malibu was definitely being kept under surveillance.
When this reporter drove by the relatively quiet stretch of Malibu highway on Sunday afternoon, I was surprised to find a lot of activity involving unmarked vehicles and men with earpieces. Was the government watching Fields? Was Fields protecting himself? Frankly, the whole thing looked like an episode of "Get Smart" or Mad magazine's "Spy Vs. Spy."
Meanwhile, court observers are wondering just who is paying for what is sure to be Pellicano's pricey defense. His new attorney is Steven Gruel, a former federal prosecutor from San Francisco.
According to my sources, who are Pellicano experts, the 61-year-old ex-P.I. has run dry of money. By coincidence, Fields is being represented in the government's inquiry by John W. Keker, a highly regarded defense attorney from … San Francisco.
Keker is not another former federal prosecutor, but in 1987 he was a member of the Iran-Contra legal team charged with taking down Oliver North. Keker has often represented the U.S. government in cases, and has specialized in high-profile cases. He is also representing Andrew Fastow, the Enron mastermind.
In 2003, the San Francisco Chronicle named him that city's No. 1 attorney, stressing that he only took cases going to trial. "John Keker, 59, is a trial lawyer," they wrote. "Not a criminal lawyer or a corporate lawyer or any other label you try to give him. He does trials. That's it."
Fields obviously thinks that's where he's headed.
And you may be thinking, wow, all the good defense attorneys in California come from Frisco!
Le Scandal Pellicano has only just begun, believe me! But so far Tom Cruise — if Pellicano ever did any spying for him via Fields — doesn't seem worried. He spent the weekend at the Record Plant in Los Angeles with Katie Holmes, working on the soundtrack for "Mission: Impossible 3."
'Mr. T' Creator Is Hollywood Literati
If you want another take on the world of show biz, you must come to Hollywood. It's the opposite of New York — a bizarro world where you find yourself giving a standing ovation for the least likely achievements.
On Saturday night, the Writers Guild gave out awards on both coasts simultaneously, sort of. There's that three hour time difference. So the East Coast announced all the winners and went home. They honored James L. Brooks ("Terms of Endearment," "Mary Tyler Moore." etc.) and Marshall Brickman ("Annie Hall," "Jersey Boys").
That meant that here on the West Coast, a lot of people already knew in advance the winners of the awards being handed out at the Hollywood Palladium. Was it a coincidence that Ellen Pompeo presented an award to the writers of "Grey's Anatomy"? Or that Terrence Howard gave an award to the writers of "Crash"? Hmmm. I don't think so.
But OK. The WGA West gave an award to Frank Pierson, now head of the Motion Picture Academy. It was his fifth honorary award. I mean, Pierson is a great guy, but even he looked a little shocked. Elegant and gracious as usual, he gave a short acceptance speech and exited.
The WGAW also gave a lifetime achievement award to Stephen J. Cannell. After seeing a medley of video clips from a collection of guilty pleasures like "The A Team," "Hunter," "21 Jump Street" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" — not exactly TV's finest moments — the entire audience gave Cannell a standing ovation. Yikes!
Now, I like Cannell personally. He's a very nice man. But I think even he knows that his crowning TV glory was "The Rockford Files." Maybe "The Commish" comes in second. But for the most part, he made his millions by serving up slam-dunk commercial entertainment that is best forgotten.
But this is Hollywood after all, and the bread and butter of the local economy here is TV. When thunderous applause met strains of the theme song from "The Greatest American Hero," really, that was quite enough.
Steve Carell, Chris Rock, Lauren Hutton
Steve Carell, droll as ever, told me on Saturday night he still can't believe that his "Little Miss Sunshine" was such a hit at Sundance. His next movie role? Playing Maxwell Smart, the role for which he was born. Don Adams will be smiling from heaven…
Chris Rock, looking sharp in his tux, at the Four Seasons after the Writers Guild Awards. Also there, separately, but just hanging out, the estimable Morgan Freeman, getting ready to narrate something and get an Oscar for it. That's just what he does…
At the WGA ceremony, I ran into Sandra Oh, from "Grey's Anatomy," one of my favorite people. She's spending her hiatus from the show in New York, doing a play at the Public Theater. Lucky us!...
Bob Yari, who put up the money for "Crash" and is turning into a mini-mogul (see our story about him from a year ago), told me he lives in a "cottage" in Malibu, and that so far his lunch schedule is not cluttered with execs from other studios. I expect that's about to change big time…
Larry O'Donnell, one of the reasons "The West Wing" was such a quality, realistic show, told me he's not unhappy it's coming to an end. "It makes sense," he said…
And Lauren Hutton, gorgeous as ever, flying in to Los Angeles: did you know that she has a hit line of makeup sold only on the Internet? Check it out at www.laurenhutton.com. This brilliant, articulate woman told me she's thinking about writing her memoirs — now that's one book we'd all like to read!
