Effect of behavioural-educational intervention on sleep for primiparous women and their infants in early postpartum: multisite randomised controlled trial
The paper
- "Effect of behavioural-educational intervention on sleep for primiparous women and their infants in early postpartum: multisite randomised controlled trial" by R Stremler and colleagues (BMJ 2013;346:f1164).
Objective—To evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioural-educational sleep intervention delivered in the early postpartum period in improving maternal and infant sleep.
Design—Randomised controlled trial.
Setting—Postpartum units of two university affiliated hospitals in Canada.
Participants—246 primiparous women and their infants randomised while in hospital using an internet based randomisation service to intervention (n=123) or usual care (n=123) groups.
Interventions—The behavioural-educational sleep intervention included a 45-60 minute meeting with a nurse to discuss information on sleep and strategies to promote maternal and infant sleep, a 20 page booklet with the content discussed, and phone contacts at one, two, and four weeks post partum to reinforce information, provide support, and solve problems. The usual care group received calls at weeks 1, 2, and 4 to maintain contact without provision of advice.
Main outcome measures—Primary outcome was maternal nocturnal (9 pm to 9 am) sleep (minutes) and secondary outcome was longest stretch of infant nocturnal sleep (minutes) measured at six and 12 weeks post partum by actigraphy (sleep-wake cycles assessed by measuring body movement). Other outcomes measured at six and 12 weeks were number of maternal and infant night time awakenings measured by actigraphy, fatigue visual analogue scale, general sleep disturbance scale, and Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. Rates of exclusive breast feeding were measured at 12 weeks post partum only.
Results—All women who completed any outcome measures at six or 12 weeks were included in analysis. Sleep outcomes were completed at one or both of six and 12 weeks post partum for 215 of 246 (87%) women (110/123 intervention and 105/123 usual care). Longitudinal mixed effects model analyses indicated no significant differences between the groups on any of the outcomes. The estimated mean difference in maternal nocturnal sleep between the intervention and usual care groups was 5.97 minutes (95% confidence interval −7.55 to 19.5 minutes, P=0.39). No differences in any outcomes were noted based on the specific nurse delivering the intervention or the number of phone contacts received.
Conclusion—A behavioural-educational intervention delivered in the early postpartum period, in hospital and in the first weeks at home, was ineffective in improving maternal and infant sleep or other health outcomes in the first months post partum.
Why do the study?
Night waking is normal in early infancy: newborn babies lack an internal circadian rhythm and the diurnal patterning of sleep does not begin to emerge until 3 months of age.[1] Sleep fragmentation and excessive tiredness are problematic for new parents. It is important, therefore, to devise and test interventions that help parents understand and prepare for the normal sleep patterns of a new baby, and to anticipate and cope with their own fatigue.[2] Interventions that encourage the management of sleep needs in a prospective manner offer an alternative to "sleep training" interventions that are sometimes implemented in later infancy and are considered by many parents to be distressing,[3] may only be of short term effectiveness,[4] and may have negative consequences.[5]
Previous studies[6] [7] [8] [9] have reported longer, less fragmented sleep periods for infants who were recipients of various experimental interventions. However, in all cases the outcomes were measured via parental report using sleep diaries, rather than by objective measurement such as actigraphy (a technique that assesses sleep-wake cycles by measuring body movement). None of the previous trials included interventions to improve maternal sleep or examined the effects of the infant sleep intervention on maternal sleep outcomes.
In this study, Stremler and colleagues[10] assessed whether an intervention they had devised and successfully piloted,[11] involving sleep education and behavioural sleep management techniques, could improve maternal and infant sleep outcomes during the early postpartum period.
What did the authors do?
To test the effectiveness of their intervention (that is, whether or not it had a statistically significant and large enough effect to be robust), the authors conducted a randomised controlled trial. This study design is the ideal way to assess the effectiveness of interventions in clinical research, offering control of potential confounding factors (which should be equally distributed between the randomly allocated control and intervention arms of a trial).
In this trial, participants were recruited on the postpartum wards of two hospitals in Canada. Steps were taken to limit the possibility of contamination (where participants affect one another's knowledge or behaviour). Eligibility criteria ensured that all mothers and babies were healthy and that the women were able to understand and participate in the trial, were first time mothers, and intended to spend the study period caring full time for their infant.
Overall, 246 participants were assigned to either the control (n=123) or the intervention (n=123) group using an external web based randomisation service, thus preventing the problems inherent in "sealed envelope" type allocations where staff may be tempted or persuaded to offer or assign an alternative allocation in response to the characteristics of participants or request. Allocations were assigned in blocks of four and six and stratified by centre, ensuring that the number of participants in each arm of the trial remained equal. In a behavioural intervention it is not possible to conceal the allocation group from the participants in the same way as one might in a drug trial. This introduces the possibility of inflated benefit perception (when participants in the intervention group over-exaggerate the benefits) and is one reason why assessing the outcomes of infant sleep interventions via parental report may not be accurate—hence the value of actigraphy.
Control mothers and babies received care as usual. Those in the experimental group received the behavioural-educational intervention as soon as possible after randomisation and before discharge from hospital. The intervention comprised 45-60 minutes' discussion of mother and baby sleep problems, strategies to improve both, and support and encouragement around the women's ability to achieve good sleep for themselves and their infant. The women received a booklet to refer to at home and support phone calls at one, two, and four weeks after discharge. Consistency in the delivery of the intervention was checked before and throughout the trial by audiotaping the interactions between participants and nurses.
Data were collected for both infant and maternal sleep via actigraphy (providing an objective measure of the duration of sleep and wakefulness), sleep diaries, and questionnaires (allowing for subjective assessment of outcomes and interpretation of actigraphy data) when the infant reached 6 and 12 weeks of age.
The intervention methods used in this study had previously been piloted (30 participants). This provided data for power calculations to determine the appropriate sample size and ensured that the intervention and follow-up methods were assessed for acceptability. Attempts to make the trial intervention pragmatic (financially and practically viable for real world implementation) were made after the pilot study, and this adjusted the information given and the number of follow-up phone calls, which may have affected the outcome.
What did the study find?
The primary outcome was maternal sleep duration between 9 pm and 9 am; the secondary outcome was the duration of the infant's longest period of nocturnal sleep. No significant differences were found between groups for any of the objectively measured sleep outcomes at either six or 12 weeks. The estimated mean difference between trial arms in mothers' night time sleep was 5.97 minutes (95% confidence interval −7.55 to 19.5 minutes; P=0.39). At 12 weeks slightly more intervention group mothers were exclusively breast feeding (69% v 66%) but the difference was not significant (relative risk of exclusive breast feeding 1.04, 95% confidence interval 0.86 to 1.26; P=0.66). Fatigue, depression, or sleep disturbance scores obtained using standard questionnaires did not differ.

What are the strengths and limitations of this study?
The major strengths of the study were the randomised design, standardisation of the intervention, and use of actigraphy for objective measurement of sleep duration.
Opt-in recruitment strategies tend to produce a participant demographic that is older and better educated than the population from which the sample is drawn. This was the case here, and is important as the intervention required engagement with an educational process, and supporting materials required 20 pages of reading. The study therefore cannot assess whether this is an effective intervention for a younger or less well educated group of mothers. However, the reluctance of these groups to engage with the trial suggests that they may find this type of intervention unappealing. Stratified sampling on the basis of sociodemographic groupings would be needed to eliminate this problem.
Recruitment on the postpartum ward resulted in a sampling bias towards women experiencing caesarean birth owing to their longer hospital stay (this was particularly unbalanced between control and intervention groups, 46% v 35%). Sleep disruption exacerbated by incision pain may have affected the maternal sleep outcomes.
The major limitation of the study was the timing of the primary and secondary outcome measures: the goal of "improving" maternal or infant sleep in the first 12 weeks of life was inappropriate given the nature of infant sleep development—a fact acknowledged by the authors in their discussion.
What does the study mean?
Early infant night waking is not pathological, and the infant does not require treatment. Healthcare providers can influence perceptions by refraining from asking whether a young baby "sleeps through the night," as this reinforces the idea that prolonged infant sleep is important and should be achieved early.
Interventions that assist parents in achieving sufficient sleep during the transition to life with a new baby are appropriate, but must recognise the importance and normality of frequent night waking and feeding. We should avoid making parents think that it is desirable to attempt to manipulate infant sleep behaviour during the first three months of life—this study shows that educational and behavioural interventions are unlikely to alter sleep duration in the first three months post partum. What needs to be assessed now is whether such interventions can help parents develop resilience and coping strategies that enable them to traverse this period with a manageable impact on their mental and physical wellbeing.Helen L Ball, professor, Charlotte K Russell, postdoctoral research associate

I like the creepy one-eyed bunny-doll.
This game is based on Japan's new lay judge system that began the same day the game was released. The character you play as has been killed, and must use supernatural powers to influence lawyers and prosecutors to sway the decisions of the judges and jury.
Sounds good ... can't read japanese.
Japanese loves all these detectives/judge/laywer games
lately we are seeing tons of them and they are always nice to play with
too bad i suck at reading them, too many unknown symbols, arghh but still, wow, 48 volumes, that is pretty cool
those 2 characters at the top remind me of light and L from death note o_o
the middle says 1 real something, 6 answers something?
Since its a crime solving attorney case probably, "1 real suspect"?
Do the DS simple series get locallizations? Just wondering
The title means "THE Lay Judge: One Truth, Six Answers".
That sounds awesome! I really wish the Simple DS Series was localized, or that I knew Japanese as they have a few games I want.
yea, the character design is very similar
thats what I though when I first saw the box art yesterday

Andrea Schmidt
(Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)
The Z-pinch phase of a dense plasma focus (DPF) emits multiple-MeV ions on a cm-scale length, even for kJ-scale devices. The mechanisms through which these physically simple devices generate such high energy beams in a relatively short distance are not fully understood. We are exploring the mechanisms behind these large gradients using the first fully kinetic simulations of a DPF Z-pinch as well as an ion probe beam experiment in which a 4 MeV deuteron beam is injected along the z-axis of a DPF Z-pinch plasma and accelerated. Our table-top DPF has demonstrated \textgreater~50 MV/m acceleration gradients during 800 J operation using a fast capacitive driver [1]. We have now directly measured the DPF gradients and demonstrated acceleration of an injected ion beam for the first time. Our particle-in-cell simulations have successfully predicted observed DPF ion beams and neutron yield, which past fluid simulations have not reproduced [2]. We have now experimentally measured and observed in the simulations for the first time, electric field oscillations near the lower hybrid frequency. This is suggestive that the lower hybrid drift instability, long speculated to be the cause of the anomalous plasma resistivity that produces large DPF gradients, is playing an important role. Direct comparisons between the experiment and simulations enhance our understanding of these plasmas and provide predictive design capability for accelerator and neutron source applications.

Pre and Post Shipment Facilities
Pre Shipment Financing is issued when the seller wants the payment of the goods before shipment. The main objectives behind pre-shipment finance or pre export finance is to enable exporter (customer) to:
- Procure raw materials.
- Carry out the manufacturing process.
- Provide a secure warehouse for goods and raw materials.
- Process and pack the goods.
- Ship the goods to the buyers.
- Meet other financial cost of the business
With pre-shipment financing the working-capital finance requirements are provided for by Credit Bank to the Customer / Exporter provided there is a confirmed export order from an end buyer/off taker or against a Letter of Credit.
Post Shipment Financing is on the other hand provided to an exporter or seller against a shipment that has already been made. It is provided against evidence of shipment of goods or supplies made to the importer or seller or any other designated agency.
With this facility, exporters don't wait for the importer to deposit the funds.
This facility is usually provided against avalised bills by the importer's bank or under accepted bills under the LC.
- It improves liquidity of the business
- It eases cash flow position by providing greater financial liquidity & flexibility in administrating receivables
- It allows the exporter more liberal terms of payment to existing buyers thus competing with foreign suppliers.
Credit Bank can offer both pre-shipment and post-shipment credit facilities in both Local as well as foreign currency.
With Credit Bank, a dedicated team ensures seamless follow-up at all stages of the import / export and the payment process giving you peace of mind.I'm Interested

Zone3 The Originals 5/3mm Buoyancy Shorts
We will try to match or beat any genuine UK based retail company for this product. Terms & Conditions
Zone3 The Originals 5/3mm Buoyancy Shorts
For novice or intermediate level swimmers the major factor which prevents them from swimming faster is the lack of core stability and leg kick. Their arm strength and technique are good but because they are not horizontal on the top of the water they create a lot of drag and 'dead weight' which makes it much harder to swim efficiently. With the buoyancy shorts the swimmer can get more used to swimming in the correct horizontal and streamlined position, so they start to build a 'neural pattern' of how they should feel in the water. This also allows the swimmer to concentrate on making a more effective leg kick and better forward glide with each stroke, without that 'sinking leg' feeling.
With the extra buoyancy support, the swimmer can also focus more on the technique of their arm stroke, without the constant battle to keep the hips and legs in a high position in the water. Results have shown that over time a swimmer's body position, speed and endurance can be significantly increased by training with buoyancy shorts. These Zone3 Originals Buoyancy Shorts incorporate 5mm Yamamoto smoothskin side panels and 3mm on the front and rear panels.
Suitable for any level of triathlete who wants to refine their open water swimming technique whilst in a pool. Swimming in a wetsuit during a triathlon is very different to swimming without a wetsuit during a swimming race. The majority of your power needs to derive from your upper body whereas your legs and core provide the essential control. These shorts help develop your open water swimming technique whilst in the pool, where wearing a full wetsuit would either be too hot or banned by the life-guards
For use in open-water training or races as an alternative to swimming in a full wetsuit (when the weather is warm enough!). This product has received hundreds of positive reviews from swimmers who have seen significant improvements in body position, speed and endurance by training with buoyancy shorts. Despite the great feeling they give a swimmer in the water it's best to only use these shorts during certain swim sets rather than the full session.
Neoprene shorts instead of a pull buoy? The innovative ideas just keep coming from Brit brand Zone3. These shorts place you into a position similar to wearing a wetsuit - just as a pull buoy might - but without the restriction of holding something between your legs. This allows you to spend time practising your slower wetsuit kick and perfecting the timing of your wetsuit stroke while in the pool.
Buoyancy is provided by 5mm neoprene on the sides, and 3mm neoprene on both front and back to aid with hip rotation, with the chlorine resistant smoothskin neoprene stitched and bonded the same way as any wetsuit. You wouldn't want to wear them for the whole session but to put them on for a pull set will encourage you to relax and improve your kick the wetsuit way.

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: How to Study in High School
Studying does not have to be difficult. To begin with, study early and often. This will help you to retain the information that you are being taught and you will be more ready for tests when they come, not having to cram information at the last minute. Know your learning style. If you learn best by taking notes, take lots of them. If you need to experience the material or touch or observe a process rather than just hearing it, then make a production of some sort or perform an example or experiment to help you learn the material. You can draw pictures to jog your memory on different concepts. You can use flashcards or rhyme schemes for memorization. You can use stories to remember processes. Whatever will work for you, use it. When difficult projects come up, make a plan on how you will accomplish it by the deadline with some time to spare. And remember to get enough sleep. Learned information is processed while you sleep and a good night's sleep after studying will help you remember effectively what you have learned.

The Red Badge of Courage Study Guide (Choose to Continue)
The Red Badge of Courage : Novel Summary: Chapter 1
The story begins at the camp of the Union army during the Civil War. The men have been at camp for a long time. A tall soldier tells his comrades he is convinced they are about to move on the enemy, which is camped the other side of the river. Some men disagree, and there is a spirited debate. A young private listens to the debate, and then retreats to his hut to be alone. He is full of anticipation that he is about to participate in his first battle. He is a romantic, idealist young man, raised on a farm, who has dreamed of battles all his life. He had wanted to enlist in the Union army, but his mother discouraged him. Eventually he enlisted, against his mother's wishes. Reluctantly, she lets him go. His friends all admire him for enlisting. On the way to Washington with his regiment, he is treated like a hero. Following that, he had to put up with months of monotony in a camp, an endless round of drills and reviews. He sees almost nothing of the enemy, and doubts whether he will ever be a part of a real battle. He listens to the stories of veterans, but he does not know how much to believe. He suddenly thinks that perhaps in a battle, he might run away. This question worries him.
The tall soldier and the loud private he is arguing with join the youth in the hut. The youth, whose name is Henry Fleming, asks the tall soldier directly whether there is going to be a battle, and the soldier assures him there will be. Henry asks the soldier's opinion about how the regiment will perform, since it is composed mostly of men who have never been in a battle. The soldier says that some may run away, but in general they will fight well. Henry asks the tall soldier, whose name is Jim Conklin, whether he had ever thought he might run himself. Jim replies that if a lot of men started to run, he probably would as well. But if everyone stood and fought, he would too. Henry is reassured by Jim's statement.
The first chapter sets the scene and introduces the main characters. By not giving any specific details of place or time, or even stating directly which army Henry is a member of, the author gives the scene a general rather than specific significance. He intends to explore the psychological aspects of war as it is experienced by the ordinary soldier, so the generality of the descriptions carry significance beyond their time and place. (The novel is in fact loosely based on the Civil War battle of Chancellorville in May, 1863, although nowhere is this stated.) The author's desire to create a universal effect is also seen in the way the characters in this chapter are described. For the most part, they are the "tall soldier," the "loud private," and "the youth," rather than being given specific names.
This chapter also shows that Henry has reached a crucial point in his life. As a young boy, he had thought of war as a romantic, glorious enterprise, although he also believed that it was something that belonged to the pages of history, not something that could happen in the present. When the Civil War breaks out, at first he does not take it seriously, and thinks that no war could match the heroics he has read about in ancient Greek books. Men had been civilized and had lost the savage spirit that used to animate them. But now war has come, and he has enlisted, he will begin to discover a lot about himself that he had previously not even thought about. The key issue is how he will behave in battle. He is disturbed by thoughts that he may run away. The thoughts he has on that subject suggest that the novel will be about the mind of a young soldier as he faces combat for the first time. It is the psychological aspects of war that will be the focus, not so much the physical events, although they will be vividly described also.

Group Counseling
Family Counseling focuses on meeting the needs of a family unit by looking at the individual relationships within the family and developing more positive bonds. Family counseling can use some of the techniques and methods described in individual counseling. However, they are adapted to working with multiple people. In family counseling, negative themes and patterns that cause the family conflict are identified to change. Individual members of the family usually have an expected role that can affect behaviors toward the other members. As family members recognize their role, they can better understand how this role affects one another. Then therapy works on improving communication, conflict resolution, behavioral dynamics, and verbal expression of thoughts and feelings within the family unit.

Demarco Cox's eyes lit up when Indianapolis Colts general manager Ryan Grigson asked him an unexpected question last Thursday.
"Do you want to be a Colt?"
The former Tech center was quick to answer in the affirmative, the beginning of what could turn out to be one of the most unlikely professional sports careers of any Tech athlete. Cox, who last played football in high school in 2009, was signed last Thursday to an undrafted free agent contract by the Colts.
The signing completed a quick process that, at least on Cox's end, began Wednesday when Colts scout Jon Shaw reached out to him, inquiring about his interest in the NFL and then bringing him up the same day to Indianapolis. He worked out for the Colts Thursday and received a contract offer the same day.
"I was blindsided," Cox said. "I didn't have a clue they were going to sign me."
For the Colts, it isn't out of the ordinary. Two members of the roster, offensive lineman Joe Reitz and tight end Erik Swoope, were both college basketball players who didn't play a down of college football. Two summers ago, they signed Daniel Adongo, a Kenyan rugby player who had never played football. A Grigson mantra is "no stone unturned."
"If you have an opportunity like this," Cox said, "there's no way you're going to turn it down."
If football doesn't work out, Cox would consider returning to basketball, the game he chose over football as a high schooler, when he was a nationally-ranked prospect as an offensive tackle out of Yazoo City, Miss. He doesn't plan on having to do so, though. He will return to Indianapolis next month to begin offseason training.
"I have that mindset, I know I can (play)," he said.

She humiliates him verbally by asking him how her Turkish ass smells and tells him that he better likes it and gets used to it as she'll use him as her seat regularly from now on!

Heaven knows what former landlady Mabel Roberts would make of the Rose & Crown today. Hers was a simple ale house, one of five ranged around the village green at Nottage. Mabel's ale was the best. Or so she claimed, wheezily, as she lugged jugs of the stuff up the steps from the cellar.
She was still alive in 1953. "We had a picture of her celebrating the Coronation," says the current manager Hannah Parselle. "Unfortunately, the frame broke."
Mabel's Crown Cottage was long ago knocked through into Rose Cottage next door. But some original features remain, including thick interior walls of local stone, a flagstone floor and low, beamed and whitewashed ceilings.
The bar to the left of the front door feels comfortably pubby. More so, I suspect, in the winter months when a log fire roars in the grate at the far end, and locals outnumber visitors staying overnight en route to Swansea or the Gower Peninsular.
This evening there's a Gavin & Stacey-ish conversation between the Welsh lilt of three burly men, former prop forwards by the look of them, and the more strident, glottal-stopped tones of a family from Essex. Meanwhile, I'm reacquainting myself with the Reverend James. A dark and brooding character, for sure, with hidden depths and plenty of backbone. Now brewed by Brains of Cardiff, this was once the pride of Buckley's, late of Llanelli. James was a Methodist preacher who took over the company from his father-in-law in the 1820s and somehow managed to square saving souls with quenching thirsts. Here his beer is part of a Brains range that includes the ordinary bitter as well as the more full-bodied SA ("Skull Attack" in student parlance). All are kept in a condition that surely not even Mabel would find fault with, even if they're now conveyed from the cellar to the narrow, intimate bar by hand pump rather than hand.
There's also a guest ale and an ever-changing range of craft beers from Brains. "The Big Smoke" is today's offer. Smoked beer – hmmmm. Think I'll stick to the smoked trout, and follow up with the rump of lamb: a wise choice, as it turns out, the lamb having the depth of flavour that you expect in this neck of the woods. No complaints from my wife either about her "Celtic Pride" rib-eye.
By now we're sitting in the restaurant area, close to the "Cwtch" – Welsh for a snug, since you ask (and a snuggle, too, as in Gavin & Stacey), though this one's for diners rather than drinkers, or lovers. It's empty this evening, but the shelves around the edge are crammed with musty books. Teach Yourself Ethics? What Mabel Roberts and the Reverend James would make of that we can only speculate.

Views of what creativity is and how it operates are diverse. Human creativity, including the powers of the imagination, may be seen as "adaptive" in terms of human evolution; as simply by-products of the large, complex brains of homo sapiens; or as some combination of the two (Pinker 2002, 404-405; Dutton 2009, 105ff.). As Sternberg and Lubart describe (1999), views of what creativity is and how it operates include mystical, pragmatic, psychodynamic, psychometric, cognitive, social-personality, and "confluence" or integrative approaches to creativity (4-12). In addition, creativity may be viewed as a synthesizing, "reductionistic" activity – as appears in scientific creativity – or, rather, as an activity that puts forth a flood of "signs" or a "surplus" of meaning, as in art.
Some think everyone is creative, while others think that only masters or geniuses are truly creative. Some think to be creative is to produce something useful or "appropriate" while others would declare usefulness and propriety anathema to their creative work. And there is much, much more to be said about creativity. But I suggest that, getting right to the point, the term "creativity" be understood as producing new configurations.
In this project, I highlight how Darwinian / evolutionary themes cooperate and conflict with existentialist-humanistic themes related to creativity in psychology. Explorations like this are crucial for people who experience creative work as synonymous with life itself.

During the cold weather the past few days, my water stopped working in my bathroom. I called Tiger and they sent out Michael. He promptly found the reason for my problem, frozen busted pipes. He quickly did the repair and got my bathroom running. While he was here , I asked him about a problem I had with my toilet and sink. He showed me the problem and took the time to fix both problem. He showed me things I could do to help prevent the frozen pipes in the future, specific to my house. I really appreciated the down to earth attitude of the tech. I only gave 4 stars for one reason. Price. I'm sure I could have got the job done cheaper, but he was there, could fix the problem, all of them,...

HTC says Apple suit not hurting operations
Smartphone maker accused of infringing on patentsTaiwan's HTC Corp, the world's No. 5 smartphone maker, said Friday that a lawsuit against it by Apple was not affecting operations.
"It's part of business," CEO Peter Chou told reporters at a news conference where HTC launched new smartphones. "We need to face it and everyone can talk it through."
Last month, Apple sued HTC, accusing it of infringing 20 hardware and software patents related to the iPhone. The U.S. International Trade Commission has started to investigate whether HTC has infringed Apple's patents, the ITC said in a statement on its website.
HTC ranks behind Nokia Oyj, Blackberry maker Research in Motion, Apple and Motorola Inc in the global smartphone rankings, according to research firm IDC.

When you think of summer, you think of fun and adventure. So what better place to spend the next two months than the "City of Fun and Adventure?" Located in the Bicol province of Albay, Legazpi City has lots of surprises in store — not least of which is the month-long Daragang Magayon Festival this April. If you're heading to the capital of Albay for the festival, don't forget to check out these other tourist spots as well.
Albay Park and Wildlife
Address: Daraga-Legazpi Diversion Rd., Legazpi City
As you can guess from the name, the Albay Park and Wildlife is a picnic area and nature reserve rolled into one. There, you can see over 70 species of animals, such as Philippine eagles, Philippine deers, reticulated pythons, iguanas, and other exotic wildlife. The park also houses a lagoon, where you can ride a boat to enhance your experience of nature.
Ayala Malls Legazpi
Address: Quezon Ave., Legazpi Port District, Legazpi City
A kilometer away from Embarcadero, Ayala Malls Legazpi isn't as close to the sea as the former. However, if you're an urbanite through-and-through, you'll definitely appreciate the mall's overall vibe.
Like its counterparts in Makati City and elsewhere in Metro Manila, Ayala Malls Legazpi boasts a wide variety of restaurants, entertainment options, and a strategic location. It's accessible via jeepney, and you can get a good view of Mayon Volcano from anywhere near the mall.
Ligñon Hill Nature Park
Address: Legazpi City
Twenty minutes away from PHILVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology), Ligñon Hill Nature Park isn't your typical nature reserve. Aside from animals, the park also houses one of the best zip line facilities within the area. Also, it offers a view of Mayon Volcano in all its glory, so if the other volcano-viewing spots in Legazpi get crowded, you can always come here.
Rawis Black Sand Beach
Address: Rawis, Legazpi City
The beach is exactly what it sounds like: miles and miles of black sand. Located close to St. Joseph Parish Church and Gallera de Legazpi, the Rawis Black Sand Beach is one of the more notable spots along Poliqui Bay. If you'd rather visit other beaches, you can always use it as a jump-off point for Padang and Puro Beach.
Small Talk Café
Address: Doña Aurora St., Old Albay District, Legazpi City
True to its name, Small Talk Café has a cozy vibe that makes you want to sit down and chat with someone. This café in downtown Legazpi is frequented by locals and tourists alike, most of whom drop by to sample Bicol's famous spicy dishes. We especially recommend their crêpes, because the exceptional texture and flavor will turn you into a crêpe lover.
Embarcadero de Legazpi
Address: Legazpi Blvd., Legazpi Port District, Legazpi City
If you're looking for a mall by the sea, look no further than the Embarcadero de Legazpi. Situated along the Legazpi Port, the Embarcadero lights up an otherwise sleepy city every night, and boasts gorgeous views of the sea and Mayon Volcano. Although there aren't many shops over there, you can still take home a souvenir or two.
St. Raphael Church
Address: Peñaranda St., Legazpi City
Looking at the church now, you'd think it was built only recently. Actually, the St. Raphael Church — also known as the "Church of Legazpi" — has been around since the early years of the Philippines' Spanish era.
Between 1587 and 1616, St. Raphael Church was administered by the town of Cagsawa. When Mayon Volcano erupted on February 1, 1814, half of Cagsawa was destroyed along with the church. Since then, it's been rebuilt and renovated many times until it reached its present form.
The most notable feature of the church is its altar, being made of hardened lava. You can easily get to the church via tricycle, which you can also ride towards the landmarks Plaza Rizal and the LCC supermarket.
How to Get Around Legazpi City
Unless you have a private car, the best way to get around Legazpi is via tricycle and jeepney. You can find these scattered all over the city (usually near malls and other landmarks). But if you want to drive from Legazpi to Albay's other tourist destinations, the best place to go is the Legazpi Grand Central Terminal, which is located on the Landco Access Road near Metro Gaisano mall.
From the Terminal, you can ride vans going to Bacacay, Camalig, Donsol, Guinobatan, Iriga, Libon, Ligao, Naga, Padang, Polangui, Tabaco City, and other municipalities within Albay. Don't forget to ask the local barkers which van you should ride, and to pay them extra for their trouble.
If you're looking for a "pure" hidden paradise, or a bustling city of malls and skyscrapers, you might want to skip Legazpi City. Otherwise, enjoy this not-quite-city, not-quite-town in the beautiful province of Albay, and have a great weekend!
