In an era where equality is the buzz word, we have the incredible spectacle that is the Paralympic Games. The event that "parallels" the Olympic Games brings competitions amongst the best of the world's best impaired athletes. The Summer Paralympic Games officially started in 1960 to support injured World War II veterans
What is most astonishing about these Games? The athletes. Most have amazing stories that brought them to compete, and their athleticism is an incredible thing to watch. For example, when watching the Games this year, I noticed that during a downhill skiing event, there were two racers going down the hill at once; however, they were not racing each other. The event was for visually-impaired racers who went down the mountain with a guide leading them. According to the experts, it can take years and years of practicing for the racer and guide to be comfortable and in sync with each other[3].
United States downhill skier Danielle Umstead even has her husband, Rob, as her guide. "Like teenage lovebirds, they talk continually on the course. Rob tells her to turn, warns her about changes in terrain and, for the technical events, describes the gate combinations she will encounter . . . "[3]. It is also a nice touch that the guides, unlike coaches in say, basketball, also receive a medal if the racer they guide wins a medal.
As a sports-loving culture, we yearn for heart-felt sports stories. However, there is little national media attention given to the Paralympic Games, especially on our most popular sports-specific TV channels. The Games are shown at random times on NBC Sports Network (and never in primetime), despite the fact that the competitions involve incredible people who face incredible odds to become the amazing athletes they are.
While sports media is big business and the powers that be believe the Paralympic Games are not something the average consumer desires to watch, popular sports media outlets have the power to portray these incredible stories. Most people may not even be aware of the incredible quality of the Paralympic Games; our sports networks should take it upon themselves to at least show personal interest stories like they do during the Olympic Games. Once consumers are actually aware of the quality of these Games and the inspiring stories these athletes have, maybe then the Games might receive more interest from consumers.

Stress & Irritable Bowel Syndrome
About a year ago I was experiencing extreme stomach pain. I'm talking cramping, bloating, discomfort, constipation, the whole works. I thought it was just something I ate and it wasn't digesting, so I went to my doctor and he told me to get laxatives.
But weeks went by and it was still happening. It was so bad that I went to emergency and waited over 5 hours to see a doctor. I explained my symptoms to her and then she asked me how I handle my stress. I immediately burst into tears. She told me I had stressed induced irritable bowl syndrome.
What is IBS?
IBS is a disorder of the large bowel that interferes with normal functions of the colon. People either experience diarrhea or constipation. In my case, it was constipation and this is when food moves too slow through the colon and too much fluid is absorbed. When food moves too quickly through the colon and fluid can't be absorbed fast enough, diarrhea occurs.
There has been research that the colon is more sensitive to physiologic and/or emotional stress in people.
Some foods that are thought to cause physiologic stress are: caffeinated drinks, chocolate, alcohol, dairy products and wheat.
Now, when she first diagnosed me with "stress induced" IBS, I thought it was literally BS. I thought she was just diagnosing me to diagnose me and get me out of her office. But as months, heck even a year later went by, I can see my relation between stress and my IBS. When I am stressed (which, sometimes I don't even know I am) I tense up. I tend to wrap my arms around my body as an act of protection. I feel tired, irritable and have a heavy chest.
Your intestines and digestive system do the same thing - they tense up, causing you to have a harder time digesting food.
I asked Nutritionist, Cameron who specializes in anxiety coaching to expand on the topic:
Although IBS has no known cause, stress and anxiety can be big contributors to the gas, bloating, constipation, and/or abdominal pain IBS sufferers often experience. The gut is known as the "second brain" because neurotransmitters (often referred to as brain chemicals) are also found in the gut! This means that what's going on in the gut affects the brain, and vice versa, ie: gut-brain connection. The digestive system also has its own nervous system, the enteric nervous system, which you'd recognize if you ever felt "gut feelings" or "butterflies" in your stomach.
So while it's unclear if anxiety/stress causes IBS or vice versa, it's really important stress and anxiety relief be part of keeping IBS under control. Daily meditation (even 5 minutes), gratitude journaling, breathe work, exercise, being in naturem, or epsom salt baths are all great ways to reduce stress and anxiety.
You can find out more about Cameron at www.cameronsimcik.com.
Like I mentioned above, I was at first in denial that stress could cause all of this - even though I KNOW that the mind and the body are largely related. I tend to get IBS symptoms at certain periods of the day and when I am stressed. The symptoms go away when I do relaxing things like exercise, walk, do breathing work, and when doing yoga. So it's clear that stress-reducing activities help your gut health.
Have you experienced IBS? Do you think that stress can be related to it?

Yes!!!! I was diagnosed with anxiety-induced IBS back in 2015. Before then I had been tested for every kind of stomach/colon cancer imaginable! I thought, and felt like I was dying. My symptoms were severe! I still struggle with mild IBS symptoms EVERY single day but I'm learning my triggers, more patient with myself, accepting my forever-bloated-belly, and finding ways to be comfortable during my occasional bad flare-ups.

Moms are some of the greatest blessings on earth, be it for dogs or for humans. Sometimes they are forced to be braved in dangerous situations just because they are not afraid to risk it all for their children, it's just amazing how it all happens.
For animals like dogs, the feelings and everything that happens are all heightened. Why? Because such animals are instinctive, they rely on the most basic and purest of instincts to survive and they do this so well. I believe that moms in animals will feel such emotions deeply as compared to humans. Why? Because sometimes, as humans we have such luxury, we can chose to love or to act but for animals, acting is a necessity which is why this mom did what she did when she saw her cute little puppies.
In the video, these two frightened dogs were found alone and surrendered to the Marin Human Society, MHS. The staff were expects in dog affairs so they quickly managed to get the dogs to trust them but the story was different for the female Chihuahua as she continued to be defensive. The guys at the MHS were baffled as to why this was happening so they set out to investigate more. Soon they found out that the Chihuahua was being defensive because she had recently given birth.
The Society got to investigate on the whereabouts of the puppies and found that they had been adopted by a certain family. They did their best to try and convince the family to give up the little pups and the family agreed to this arrangement. The puppies were bought to her and on seeing her puppies, the way in which the little Chihuahua reacted made me cry. What a great video!

For women, things are a bit different. They do not need SERMs because they produce so little testosterone naturally that suppression isn't as detrimental. However, Anavar and Winstrol act much like testosterone in the female body, and using the combination over the course of four to six weeks can create a hormonal imbalance. Women who simply come off steroids cold turkey, even after a few weeks, may notice undesirable effects like fatigue and irritability. To avoid this, simply reducing dose toward the end of the cycle can help tremendously.

Q: I have a 1996 Suzuki Esteem with a 1.6L engine. Recently, second gear has stopped working. Now, whenever you put it into second gear, once you release the clutch it will just grind.
I doubt this is the problem because the other gears are working but perhaps the shifter is not moving the transmission internal shift forks all the way into second gear. This would cause a grinding noise and if left that way will damage the transmission.
The synchronizer's job is to slow or speed up a gear when you shift gears so the toothed collar can slide over the engagement teeth on the actual gear. This locks the gear to the shaft and provides a path for the power to flow through the transmission.
If the synchronizer is bad, it is still possible to shift the transmission into gear and drive the vehicle, although you may get some grinding noise and it will be harder to shift if the engine speed doesn't match the speed of the vehicle. While your transmission synchronizer may be bad, it isn't the only part.
The most likely cause of the grinding noise is bad engagement teeth on the second gear. It is also possible that a snap ring has popped out of place and let second gear move out of position but this usually causes noise in other gears.
Due to the age of your vehicle and the cost of repair parts for manual transmissions, it isn't financially feasible to repair the transmission. Instead, your best bet would be to find a replacement unit from an auto salvage yard.
Some may say a vehicle this age isn't worth replacing a transmission, but if the rest of the vehicle is in good shape then keeping it on the road is worthwhile.
The cost of installing a used transmission will be less than two or three months payments on a new vehicle. Just be sure to check the shift mechanism first from the shifter to the transmission.
Don't worry about the look of the tire, just check air pressure often. It is normal for tires to lose about one PSI pressure a month, less if they are filled with nitrogen gas.
Changes in outside air temperature also affect tire pressure dramatically, so if temperatures vary more than a few degrees, you should also check tire pressure.
As for the sidewall cracking, small checking on the surface is normal as a tire ages, but deep cracks (three to four mm) that allow the cord material in the tire to show indicate that the tire needs to be replaced.
Damage may occur because of a curb impact or debris on the road.
I suspect your tires have normal checking, but inspecting tires on a regular basis is a good idea.

Halo 5 Lockout
Created in HALO 5 Forge
Map Complications
I'm aware of the lens flare issue. However, lens flare has always been disabled. When I toggle it on then off it goes away in Forge. When I render the lighting again it looks perfect. After I save the map and load it into a custom game. The flare will be present once again. I've come to the conclusion it's a bug that needs to be addressed. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, if any.

In a campaign wink to Montrealers, the Archdiocese of Montreal put up a large billboard along the southbound lanes of the Turcot Interchange. The French-language sign, leading up to the Champlain Bridge, reads: "Say a prayer".
Local media have reported the precarious state of the bridge, which is currently undergoing major repairs to ensure its safety.
However, Lucie Martineau, diocesan communications director, did stress that bridge authorities have assured that there is no danger of sudden or imminent collapse.
"It's just a little humour to catch people's attention," said Martineau. "And to help them think of God, even if it's just for a second."
The billboard will be up for one week only. The ad campaign for this year's annual collection will actually begin April 18. The theme, inspired by Facebook, is "Love".

JOHNSON COUNTY (Nov. 9, 2015) - Johnson County authorities are investigating another rash of theft and attempted thefts from vehicles, prompting another warning about keeping car doors locked when leaving them parked outside.
Four homeowners in the 4600 to 4800 block of Rocklane Road discovered their cars had been rifled through between Thursday night and Friday morning. In some cases, multiple vehicles on each property had been looked through, with items left thrown about. I each case, the vehicle doors had been left unlocked by the victim. Police reports indicate the only items stolen were a denim jacket and a flashlight. One neighbor said they later discovered a pocket knife was missing from their car.
In each case, the victim had left their vehicles unlocked.
"We need people to lock their vehicles," said Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox. "We need people to take their valuables out of their vehicles and put those valuables inside the home with them during evening hours."
Cox and his department have had a busy few months, investigating a drastic increase in thefts from vehicles and home burglaries.
"It has exploded," Cox said.
But the most recent rash of theft and attempted theft appears to be different than prior cases involving organized groups looking for guns and money to steal from cars in tightly packed housing editions.
"This is in the northeast part of Johnson County in the Rocklane area, where the homes are not right on top of each other," Cox said. "So this could be thieves different from what we're used to seeing."
Floyd Coppage, who found his Cadillac and Buick rifled through Friday morning, says he never used to lock his cars while leaving them parked in his driveway. But he will now.
"My phone charger and everything was still laying there," Coppage said. "And then my GPS was in the box, they opened it up but they didn't take it. I don't know what they're looking for, if they're looking for drugs or money or what."
Another victim down the street said a bottle of prescription medicine was left in the glove box of his truck.
But the suspect or suspects may have left behind the clue investigators need to track them down. When they stole the flashlight from one of the cars, they also left their own flashlight behind.
"We appreciate it when they do stupid things like this," Cox said. "We'll not only fingerprint the flashlight, the outside, but we'll fingerprint the batteries that are inside the flashlight, hoping that whoever the thief is is the one that put the batteries in the flashlight."
However the case ends up, Cox hopes more residents will heed the warning that nobody should assume their neighborhood is immune to crime. Even he and members of his department avoid parking department vehicles outside these days.
"A lot of us carry assault rifles, we carry other things in our vehicle, spare guns, backup guns," Cox said. "And unfortunately we know that and so do the thieves that are out here. So what we require of our officers here is if they have an assault rifle, if they have spare guns, is to take those weapons into their homes during the evening hours so those weapons should not even be in a parked Johnson County vehicle."

Trailer Trash Tracys | 06/14/17
Five years after their debut album Ester, Trailer Trash Tracys are happy to announce Althaea, a new full-length record that marks their return to the spotlight. Along with the announcement, Trailer Trash Tracys have shared song 'Eden Machine', watch the video below. Althaea will be out August 11, 2017 via Domino imprint Double Six.
Over the course of their lush, strange album "Althaea", London duo Trailer Trash Tracys condense a number of disparate styles into music that thrillingly broaches the void between figuration and abstraction. While undeniably beautiful and quite often infectious in parts, this is certainly not pop music by any traditional definition; rather, it appeals to the more intuitive of mind and wild at heart. More than simply becoming a philosophical exercise however, the result is their most ambitious and idiosyncratic body of work to date, one which operates at the very limits of what pop music can be.
Their debut, "Ester", released in 2012, manifested the band's approach to making music as a fine balance between chaos and order, laying out a dense and dreamlike ecosystem of Sufi poetry, Solfeggio scales and, floating above it all, Susanne Aztoria's otherworldly yet emotionally charged vocals. Early singles such as "Strangling Good Guys" and "You Wish You Were Red" proved to be outliers – rather than simply making lo-fi dream pop, the band were instead aiming for something far more subconscious and esoteric.
With "Althaea", the band continue their investigations into the farther flung reaches of pop music, with stunning results. Spanning 10 deeply esoteric tracks, "Althaea" sees the band drift further afield from traditional song structures to create a new aural lexicon of their own, one as influenced by Filipino carnival music and Latin rhythms as it was by Japanese tropical music from the 80s. Even at their most outwardly pop – the pristine "Eden Machine" for instance, or the swooning "Kalesa", there is a baroque splendour, and heightened sensuality. The interplay of light and dark, the foreign and the familiar, brings forth an album with manifold pleasures, one which rewards repeated listening and further exploration.
Watch the video for new single "Eden Machine" below aalongside the trailer for the short film of Althaea - as premiered last week at the Whirled Cinema in Brixton.

EPC Legislation changes and your software – April 2012
The proposed change to the legislation regarding energy performance certificates (EPC's) comes in to force on 6th April 2012.
Final confirmation and clarification has now been issued by the DCLG (Department for Communities and Local Government) and can be found here:
Key points in the new legislation:
What does this mean for Vebra clients?
You must be using the following versions of the software in order to be compliant. If you are not on the appropriate version you will not be able to link EPC documents to your properties and upload them to the internet.
As agents can have the full EPC or the one page version for marketing, we have added the provision to store both styles with a property record as a PDF and/or URL in all the current versions of our software.
Should you have any questions or concerns over the version of software you are running please contact us on 0845 130 5444. We are available during normal working hours but will not be available over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
VebraLive clients must be running v1.34 to be compliant. If you wish to have the full EPC within the details template (not required and not recommended but available for an additional charge) you will need to run an additional upgrade routine available upon request.
Solex clients should be running v4.3 to be compliant which the majority of our clients are now on. This release was made available in November 2011 so if you have not had an upgrade since this date, you will need to contact us. If you have upgraded and would like specific information about uploading EPC's please read our update notes for instructions on how to do so. Note that due to the format restrictions with Solex templates, we are unable to merge the PDF into the property details, agents will have to attach as a separate document (which is recommended and permitted within the legislation).
GMW Orange clients are all on the latest v2.1 of the software and therefore compliant.
This version enables clients to link a PDF and URL for two types of EPC ('full' or 'public') to a property record. Details produced in GMW Orange are MS Word format and can be edited by the client if required (although not recommended) to include the EPC. Please contact us if you require instructions on how to place the EPC from the EPC in to your word document (copying the content and pasting produces poor results and is not recommended).
GMW M2 clients will need to upgrade to GMW Orange which is available at no charge if you are currently on full support (subject to any licence count changes or training requirements).
GMW System4Sales clients will need to upgrade to GMW Orange which is available at no charge if you are currently on full support (subject to any licence count changes or training requirements).
EstateCraft clients must be running v9.97 to be compliant. If you have not yet upgraded, please see below for instructions on how to do so.
Full details of the changes can be found in the document at this link v9.97 upgrade notes. (NB. For clients upgrading from older software versions, this document also details the changes included in the v9.96 release)
What do I need to do to receive this upgrade?
The upgrade process will depend upon the version of EstateCraft that you are currently running:

Taylor Swift Rocks $20 Top: SHOP Her Adorable Striped Shirt
Taylor Swift was hanging backstage after her LA concert on her 1989 tour, and she was sporting an adorable striped tee and denim shorts. Lucky for us, you can shop her cute t-shirt here for only $20.
Taylor Swift, 25, had a very special night at the meet and greet after her 1989 tour concert in LA at the Staples Center 2 weeks ago. While we usually see Taylor at her Loft '89 backstage meet and greet with tons of her young fans, this time she was posing backstage with supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio's, 34, stunning little girl, Anja Louise, and her friend, Isadora. Taylor was sporting an adorable striped shirt and you can SHOP the exact one here for $20.
We have seen Tay wear this adorable Brandy Melville Kenzie Top time and time again. She has worn it with a variety of different outfits, and the best part is, it's only $20 — that is such a bargain!
This time she wore the long-sleeved striped shirt tucked into teeny tiny high-waisted denim shorts and her fabulous sparkly Steve Madden loafers.
Alessandra was so happy that she was backstage with TSwizzle that she posted two different pictures with the captions: "Real trouble @taylorswift and the girls #AnjaLouise @isacaligirl #aboutlastnight #funnight #LA #theyrock" and another saying: "One more cause she is the queen of their hearts. thank you @taylorswift for being so sweet and a great inspiration #funnight #LA #1989worldtour" How cute is that!?
We love seeing Taylor in basics like this striped tee, it shows how down to earth she is. We have a feeling that this piece is going to be our fall staple and we are going to wear it everywhere.
What do you guys think of Taylor's outfit? Would you SHOP for it?

Sales coaching is a critical component in how managers develop their reps, help them hone in on new skills, and most importantly, push them to close more deals. However, even though sales managers recognize the importance of coaching, their initiatives still face several challenges:
- Not enough time is spent coaching
- Teams are spread across different locations and time zones
- Logistics and travel are too much of a cost burden to the organization
- Sales reps are not engaged
To overcome these common sales coaching challenges, businesses are turning to a new solution to help their managers excel: mobile coaching.
Mobile coaching solutions, like LearnCore's Mobile Manager App, incorporate new technology that allows sales managers to coach their sales reps effectively, from anywhere. Sales managers love the flexibility, and sales reps enjoy a more engaging take on training.
Wondering how you can use mobile coaching technology to help you become a better sales manager?
Feedback On-the-Go
Mobile coaching technology lets you connect with your reps from anywhere. Constant travel and globally dispersed teams no longer have to be barriers to great management.
You have the ability to provide reps with feedback on pitch practice videos or demo recordings and can share suggestions to improve a poor training score you noticed. Take advantage of existing scoring systems that assess your reps on clarity, knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm so you can provide constructive feedback faster. Connect with your reps immediately, and let the technology do the heavy lifting for you.
When you implement this kind of this technology, you can stay connected to your reps and be available to help them perform better. Are there any limitations? As long as your iPhone works, you can coach your reps.
24/7 Accountability
Mobile coaching technology helps you hold your reps accountable by allowing you to better understand strengths and weaknesses. If you have too many reps to track and coach effectively, a sales tools like Mobile Manager can help monitor the progress of each rep easily.
Using mobile coaching technology to track individual progress will enable better coaching by allowing you to make accurate skill assessments, and then prescribe the right individual action plan. Reward highly engaged reps, and send reminders to team members who are lagging behind, all from your phone.
You can finally track individual performance without having to hold in-person sessions with each rep.
Better Management
Analytics are the basis for most decision-making. Sales managers rely on accurate forecasts and their ability to motivate their team to get the job done.
Now imagine if all you needed was one simple dashboard on your phone to give you instant insight into how your team is performing as a whole. Mobile coaching technology can make that a reality.
Compare data from your CRM pipeline to training progress and results in your mobile coaching app. Is your team on track? Is there skill gaps highlighted in the coaching data you can improve on? Are certain reps pulling the entire team down?
Say goodbye to complex reports you can only access from your office and use mobile coaching technology to keep track of trends, scores, and team performance right from your phone.
Mobile coaching technology can help take your sales manager game to the next level. Start providing feedback on the go, hold your reps accountable 24/7, and be a better manager. All you need is a single app.

Geography of Ghana
Ghana is a West African country, bordered by Burkina Faso to the north, Togo on the east, Cote d'Ivoire to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the South. The West is largely dense rain forest, whereas the North is composed of forested hills, dry savannah, and open woodland. To the far north, a plateau reaches approximately 500 meters in height. The Black and White Volga Rivers enter Ghana via Burkina Faso, and are dammed to create a large man-made lake.
Society, Language & Religion
Ghana has a population of about 17.1 million. The people of Ghana come from a number of ethnic groups, such as the Ashanti, the Ewe, the Ga-Adangbe, the Mole-Dagbani, the Guan, and the Gurma. About 80 different languages are spoken in Ghana. English, an artifact of the colonial era, is the official language, but the most widely-spoken indigenous language is Akan.
As for religion, about 43% of Ghanaians are Christian, approximately 38% are Animist, and about 12% are Muslim. Ghanaians are completely free to choose their religion.
The culture of Ghana is largely dominated by dance, drama, and music, though the Ghanaian people are also known for their craft work, especially their "kente" fabric.
Climate and Weather
Ghana has an overall tropical climate, but average temperatures vary by season and elevation. Everywhere except in the North, there are two rainy seasons, one from April to July and one from September to November. In the North, there is one long rainy season, from April to September. Ghana's annual rainfall ranges from 1100 mm in the North to 2100 mm in the South. From December until March, a dry desert wind, the Harmattan, blows from the northeast. The Harmattan causes lower humidity and thus hot days and cool nights in the north. In most areas of Ghana, the highest temperatures occur sometime in March, and drop to their lowest in August.
Health and Safety
Vaccination for yellow fever is mandatory for entry to Ghana, but it is also recommended that travelers consider vaccination for hepatitis A and B, polio, typhoid, and meningitis. It is also recommended to reduce risk of malaria by taking anti-malarial drugs, wearing insect repellent, and sleeping in air-conditioned rooms or under mosquito netting.
Travelers are recommended to avoid undercooked food and drinking water that hasn't been boiled or bottled.
Pick pocketing and purse-snatching is common in crowded tourist areas. More violent crimes, such as armed robbery, are on the rise, so certain precautions are recommended, e.g. traveling in groups, avoiding nighttime travel, and limiting display of valuables.
Electricity and Voltage
- Ghana voltage: 220 – 240 V
- Ghana plug type: G
- Ghana electrical frequency: 50 Hz
The standard electrical voltage in Ghana is 220 – 240 volts which makes it compatible with the 120 V voltage in the U.S., Canada and most South American countries. The electrical frequency is 50 Hz. The plugs/outlets that are used are of type G. Your need for an adapter or converter depends on the voltage, frequency and power plugs in the country you live in. Most household and electronic equipments support multiple frequencies but if you want to avoid a compatibillity issue, make sure to have an adaptor with you.
If you are looking for more information about the Electricity and Voltage in Ghana click here.
The local currency is the Ghanian cedi (GHS). One cedi is divided into one hundred pesewas. However the US Dollar (USD or $) is used along side the Ghanian cedi. Currency converter

Zendesk's quest for improving customer relations knows no bounds, and we worked with them to create a landing page for their up-and-coming event. The event itself focused on the tranquil simplicity of afternoon tea, with registered users receiving not only an invite for a cuppa, but a tea-themed box of goodies.
The event was released internationally, with the landing page being presented in French, German, and Russian, as well as English. In order to ease this registration process, an API was required to handle Zendesk's user registrations and integrate with a proprietary sales system.
Using the Scuba Diver and the Astronaut from Zendesk's much-loved Relationships Are Complicated campaign, allowed us to create a set of pages that were a continuation of recent Zendesk events.
We built the landing page using placeholders for content rather than hard-coding in text. This allowed us to automate the process of translating these landing pages into any language by simply creating a new translations file for the language, rather than manually copying and pasting pages.
To handle user registrations, we built a small Ruby API that integrated with the sales system supporting the campaign. In order to avoid disruptive page refreshes to registering users, we also created a small JavaScript registrations handler, providing input validation and data submissions.
Zendesk were able to run a successful marketing campaign across multiple languages using our work, and were happy enough with the success of their first campaign that in the winter of 2016, we worked together on a second, follow-up campaign.
This isn't our first rodeo. Here's some similar projects that we've recently been working on.

|Private & professionally use: Sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls can be self-administered & can be also practiced for healing & therapeutic effect on others as a professional , Singing Bowls sound Therapist.
|There are thousand of practitioners, worldwide, making their living with this amazingly effective therapy.
|For a workshop near you, check our workshop schedule. If you would like us to teach in your area please phone us for information, e-mail us at [email protected]
|Wellness and Cosmetics: Inner calm, self-confidence, and health are the main factors determining a person's appearance. Sound massage achieves well-being and beauty that comes from within.
|Massage and Physiotherapy: Application of sound massage works well with acute physical problems. Blockages can be perceived consciously and can often be eliminated in one or two treatments. Moreover, interrelated events that caused these symptoms can be identified. The patient experiences sound massage as non-threatening. It can be stated with confidence that singing bowl therapy, while being very profound in its effect, is a very gentle therapy.
|Medical Practice: Sound massage can support medical treatment, e.g. damaged discs, abdominal, digestive, and heart problems, painful joints, and poor circulation, to name just a few. It not only creates a relaxed atmosphere for doctor-patient communication, it also enables the patient to go into a deeply altered state (the Alpha-Theta brain wave state) in which healing is stimulated. Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, an oncologist in New York, treats all his patients not just with conventional medicine, but also with singing bowls. He writes in his book: "The Healing Power of Sound" "...the very first time I heard the ringing vibrations produced by the bowls I knew I had stumbled upon one of the most potent healing tools I would ever encounter…"
|Therapy and Psychotherapy: Due to their deeply relaxing and hypnotic effect the singing bowls are an invaluable asset in the wide field of psychotherapy. The use of the bowls is impersonal and non-judgmental, and within the deep relaxation the therapeutic process can begin.
|Other areas of application:
|• Obstetrics
|• Nurseries and schools
|• Retirement and nursing homes
|• Working with handicapped people
|• Speech therapy
|• Care of the dying
|Effects of Sound Massage with Tibetan Singing Bowls
|• Fast and effortless achievement of the "relaxation response"
|• Gentle sound massage and harmonization of all body cells
|• Relief of blockages and tension in mind and body
|• Activation and reinforcement of self-healing forces
|• Increased self-confidence
|• Enhanced creativity
|• Increased productive energy
|• Optimism and "joie de vivre", a feeling of happiness
|• Letting go of old, outdated patterns in your life
|• The inner strength to follow though on new resolutions
|• During pregnancy it calms the mother and her unborn child and prepares both for an easier delivery with less pain
|• It has a calming effect on hyperactive children
|• Positive influence on ADD and autism
|• Learning enhancement through the synchronization of the right and the left brain
|Benefits of Sound Massage
|• Activates self-healing mechanism of the body
|• Promotes elimination of toxins
|• Promotes deeper and more profound sleep
|• Promotes dream recall
|• Promotes feelings of deep abiding calm
|• Relief from pain
|• Relief from headache, fatigue, insomnia, PMS, digestive disorders, emotional imbalances, joint or muscle pain
|• Better integration of left and right hemisphere of the brain
|• Teaches the brain to move more easily into alpha/theta border state known as "the zone" which enhances performance in sports and arts, and learning and memory abilities
|• Stress reduction through promoting a deep state of relaxation and endorphin release
|• Chakra balancing
|Self-Healing: (as opposed to curing) the process by which an individual experiences both permanent physical recovery and spiritual growth. The traditional Tibetan singing bowl with its powerful overtones can cause the individual to achieve the "relaxation response" effortlessly.
|You will feel the vibrations travel through your body, generating a feeling of expansion and well-being. You start to drift and daydream as the sound waves wash through your cells with their rejuvenating and strengthening power. At the end of the session you feel regenerated.
|If good music is nourishing, the singing bowls can be compared to the most basic and "digestible of all sound diets". With our innate trust in these harmonious sounds and the pleasurable response they cause throughout our body, we soon start to breathe deeper and our thoughts calm down. Quickly we reach "the zone" and are capable of self-healing and accomplishing our very best.
|Vibrational healing with the bowls also serves as a powerful key to unlock emotional trauma trapped within our subconscious." Thoughts being vibrations, bowl therapy offers a deeper plane of healing that involves greater emotional and mental clarity." Many individuals report increased awareness after each session.
|Relaxation response:
|Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard's Mind Body Institute who has studied stress reduction for 35 years defines the relaxation response as "a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress for example, decrease in heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension." Regular elicitation of the relaxation response has been scientifically proven to be an effective treatment for a wide range of stress-related disorders. In fact, to the extent that any disease is caused or made worse by stress, the relaxation response can help."

Both fashion and architecture express ideas of personal, social and cultural identity, reflecting the concerns of the user and the ambition of the age. Their relationship is very close, a symbiotic one, and i want to show how history clothing and buildings have copied each other in form and appearance. They have much in common: the ability to use geometric shapes, patterns, colors, structural and functional reasons,universal styles that go beyond time and fashion. At the same time they are so different: the use of different materials, the proportions, and the sizes. While the architecture is designed to have a more permanent and statuary presence, fashion has undergone many changes, given its ephemeral nature.
