"People would put their fantasies about what a woman was on me," said Hart. "My only power was to be what they wanted me to be. My biggest concerns were to be young and beautiful. Every day, that erodes."
When she entered her 30s, she found fewer options in the youth-worshipping industry of modeling. But she discovered her voice behind the camera. She won awards for directing, producing and editing, and started her own film company, Goddess Eye Films. She began to use film to give voice to other women.
Hart's new film, "Pink Smoke Over the Vatican," does just that. This documentary about women's struggles to be ordained in the Catholic church will be screened today at Carmel City Hall as a part of Women in Film, a component of the Carmel Art & Film Festival.
This afternoon, five powerhouse women in the film industry will meet for a luncheon, panel discussion and screening of panelist Susan Koch's documentary film, "The Other City." The other panelists include directors Diane Bell and Penelope Buitenhuis, film composer Helene Muddiman and Alesia Weston of the Sundance Film Festival. "The idea of being a film director didn't occur to me until quite late," said Bell, whose feature film "Obsilidia" was chosen to open the festival. "There weren't any woman role models."
Even though Kathryn Bigelow's 2010 Oscar for best director was a boon to women filmmakers, the fact that "The Hurt Locker" was a male-oriented film about war — with only one female character — sends a message you can make it in Hollywood if you make films like a man, Hart said.
"I think it was a powerful and well-crafted film," said Hart. "But I think many women felt she was being acknowledged for a film that doesn't have a woman's point of view. Hollywood believes films targeted towards women can't make it."
Yet, according to the Motion Picture Association of America, in 2009 there were 217 million moviegoers, with ticket sales totaling 1.4 billion dollars. Women made up 113 million of these moviegoers, purchasing 55 percent of the tickets. This means that last year, there were 9 million more women moviegoers than men.
So, why does the myth persist that there isn't a market for women's films?
This is partially based on the way Hollywood plays a numbers game, said Melissa Silverstein, founder of "Women and Hollywood," a blog that raises awareness about women's issues in popular culture.
"Hollywood is focused on opening weekend, and focused on making as much money as they can," said Silverstein. "Movies that make money are action-oriented thrillers and, typically, about men and boys — and directed by men."
But the idea that action-oriented movies make more money is deceptive, she said. "Because these thrillers and blow-'em-up movies have lots of special effects, they cost more to make. So they have to make more money to be successful."
Though films traditionally considered women's films — more personal, character-driven stories — still haven't found a place in Hollywood that rivals car chases or explosions, they do seem to have found a place in the independent film industry.
"There is a huge shift in the independent film industry. Ten years ago, I would have had a difficult time naming woman film directors. Now, I can do it like that," said Bell, snapping her fingers.
"It's an interesting time," said Bell. "Something is shifting. It's not really penetrating the big studios yet — but it will."

33rd Field Artillary 1st Division

The 33rd Field Artillery Battalion unit crest was a red shield with a golden sleeping lion in the center. Below is the Latin motto: "SERVABO FIDEM" (I Will Keep The Faith). The lion, though depicted asleep, is said to sleep with its eyes open (though they appear to be shut) and is thus "ever on guard" and ready for any emergency in action. Beautiful battalion crest.Eddie

On Monday, NSA leaker Edward Snowden did a live online chat with The Guardian (UK). Asked whether the debate over surveillance was panning out as he thought they would, Snowden answered:
Initially I was very encouraged. Unfortunately, the mainstream media now seems far more interested in what I said when I was 17 or what my girlfriend looks like rather than, say, the largest program of suspicionless surveillance in human history.
It's hard to argue with him there.

Private -- Keep Out: Preliminary Notes on Biosocial Functions of Privacy.
Langman, Lauren; Natalini, Adrian
This report presents and evaluates a simple thesis: that privacy, a manifestation of human territoriality, is a fundamental bio-social need. Aggression can serve to insure privacy. Privacy, then, allows one the freedom to explore the environment. It permits intimacy with others, and it fosters access to one's own inner feelings and experiences, a precondition for creativity. Essentially, privacy, territoriality, crowding, aggression, intimacy and creativity are seen as biological predispositions whose manifestations are greatly modified by social circumstances. The remarks presented here consider definitions, examples and functions of these several terms and concepts, and attempt to relate these concepts, sociologically, to the self, to others, and to one's environment.

Northern Kenya has a long history of ethnic conflict, violence and marginalisation, and in the last few years, the region has experienced a spike in political and social tensions, threatening the wider peace and stability of the region. Existing communal and locally based tensions have been exacerbated by new and complex challenges such as devolution, terrorism, major development projects and extractive resources. These new conflict drivers and dynamics have negatively impacted on the effectiveness and resilience of the peacebuilding architecture of the region.
In 2017 we launched a new strand of work in Garissa County, northern Kenya, extending our programme in the Horn of Africa. The new project aims to tackle these inter-connecting conflict drivers and strengthen community-level, national, and cross-border peacebuilding.
Aden Abdi, Horn of Africa Programme Director, Conciliation Resources.
Co-ordination between local, county and national peacebuilding initiatives and structures is key to addressing interconnecting conflict systems; building trust between communities and the Kenyan state; and ensuring local ownership of peacebuilding initiatives.
The project is working with members of Local Peace Committees (LPCs) to support the development of peacebuilding skills. LPC members, including women, youth, elders and religions leaders, are receiving training in the prevention of conflict management. The project is also supporting these LPCs to work more effectively with county and national government as well as advocate for the inclusion of peacebuilding work in county government plans.
Somali clan linkages across the state borders of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia mean that local conflicts in northern Kenya cannot be resolved in isolation, which is why this project is also working to support cross-border peacebuilding initiatives. This includes co-ordinating cross-border meetings with the regional body Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, Kenya, Somalia Conflict Early Warning Units and local communities.
The project is funded by the Institute fur Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa),with resources provided by the German Federal Foreign Office.

Artist: CHICKS WHO LOVE GUNS
City: Sydney, NSW
Style: Rock
Members: Cass, Mitchell, Jack, Mody, Xavier
CHICKS WHO LOVE GUNS are a sick band from Sydney who like to party, tour and play loud ear splintering live shows. If you've been lucky enough to hang out with these guys you'd understand that this band dig each others company and basically life's a breeze, especially when members of your band are actually good friends and most of the bullshit (ego's, dramas ie; emotional and psychological) are non-existent, which makes for more time to have fun and make music.
CHICKS WHO LOVE GUNS are definitely not a sit around prance all talk no walk kinda band, they're the real deal and their output is impressive for an independent band living in Sydney. Constantly putting out fresh new releases and kick arse video's is key to their future success. Their latest awesome video 'MOON EATER' shows a band who doesn't really give a shit about what people think and they just do what they want.
Their song ideas are strong and nothing ever gets boring. The tempo slows down only to go up again and everyone gets dragged along for the good times.
2013 should be a kick arse year for these guys and their future releases (with the right support around them) will elevate CWLG from underground show smashers to street level Zombie killers. Pretty sure the ears bleeding comes free of charge.
If there are combinations for success in music then CHICKS WHO LOVE GUNS have it in spades, they just have to ride out the storm that is the Sydney music scene and eventually they will rise above.

Campbell opined in both his written testimony and his answers to the panel's questions that the DOL should further delay the applicability date of the rule beyond the already-extended deadline of June 9 in order to examine the rule's full impact, an opinion that was repeatedly echoed by the Republicans on the panel, and in the subcommittee's press release after the hearing.On the other side of the issue, Dr. Jason Furman, Ph.D., who previously served as the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers for President Obama, was asked by Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) why the fiduciary rule is "winning in the courts if it's supposedly so flawed, and what are the ramifications if it doesn't go forward?" He stated that the consultation process for the rule was more extensive than anything he witnessed in his years in the Obama administration. As for ramifications of repeal, he noted that many of the costs of complying with the rule have already been borne by financial institutions, so those costs would be forever sunk "with no benefit to anyone."Opening Up MEPsSubcommittee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) also used the hearing as an opportunity to promote the concept of "open MEPs" to tackle the issue of retirement plan coverage. One major barrier to allowing more employers to pool their employees together in a single 401(k) plan is the requirement that the employers have a "common nexus." James Kais, senior vice president and managing director at Transamerica, said removing that requirement would dramatically grow the number of small businesses offering plans.
Another barrier Kais promoted removing from the MEP design is the "One Bad Apple" rule. "Compliant employers in a MEP should be protected from liability for the non-compliant acts and omissions of other employers in the MEP and the resulting disqualification of the entire plan" by the IRS, he testified.Kais pointed to a statistic from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies that says 89% of Americans offered a plan through their work choose to save versus only 47% of workers who are not offered such a plan. He asserted that taking these two barriers off the table would go a long way to lowering the number of Americans not covered.State-Run Auto-IRA PlansErik Sossa, vice president of global benefits and wellness at PepsiCo, Inc. testified on behalf of the ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC). He stressed that ERISA's federal preemption of state laws is important because it allows large companies like his to offer benefits "uniformly" across a national workforce, rather than maneuver through a complicated, state-by-state "patchwork" of different additional requirements for different employees.
He testified that the DOL's late 2016 regulations providing a safe harbor from ERISA for state and municipal governments operating auto-IRAs for private sector employees — which the 115th Congress has since repealed and President Trump just signed into law — would have posed "a risk that unnecessary cost and compliance burdens will be imposed on employer-sponsored plans without commensurate benefits to employees."Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) used the line of discussion on state-run plans to tout her intention to introduce in the House a companion to the Senate's Preserve Rights of States and Political Subdivisions to Encourage Retirement Savings (PROSPERS) Act, introduced on May 3. That bill would codify the effects of the DOL's now-overturned rules, allowing states and municipalities to operate such plans outside of ERISA after all. In doing so, Bonamici boasted her bill quite literally would be "removing barriers."Ray Harmon, Esq. is government affairs counsel for the American Retirement Association.

Big is beautiful. Just take at took at these beautiful images by photographer Paul Lange! In his series "Big Blooms," he is able to transform familiar flowers into something larger than life! Working with concepts of size, scale and gestures, Paul was able to created something special. In fact, he called his series of floral portraits Big Blooms because the images are blown up and "thrown out of scale."
With a background in fashion portraiture, he knows how to use lighting, form and composition to create these stunning floral images. Each flower was photographed on a stark white background, and lit as though it was a human subject. The flowers were carefully and meticulously hand-picked out of hundreds from a garden estate close to the photographer's home each spring and summer.
Big Blooms was started back in 2007 and is an ongoing project.
Paul previously has worked as a fashion photographer for 25 years before he decided to focus on Fine Art Photography. To see more of his work, visit his website.

Can Bad Hotel Reviews Be Hacked Out of Existence?
In the wake of Edward Snowden's whistleblowing back in 2013, the Russian Federal Guard made an order for typewriters. Some documents, they decided, are better kept out of cyberspace altogether. Old-fashioned paper archives are not connected to anything. In a heavily guarded facility, you'd have to be James Bond to get ahold of them.Read More

You are here
Get Your Skin Ready for Summer
Problem: Breakouts on Your Chest and Back
Why it happens: When your clothing traps sweat and oil — because you were working out or bundled up in layers — it can mix with dead skin and bacteria in your pores to form pimples.
The fix: Use a body wash with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria and unclog pores. Dermatologist Jeannette Graf, MD, suggests applying an alphahydroxy peel three nights a week. "The acids help get rid of any lingering redness once the pimples are gone."
Problem: Dull, Scaly Skin All Over Your Body
Why it happens: If you neglected to moisturize and exfoliate regularly over the course of the cold, dry winter, you may find yourself with parched, lackluster skin come spring, Dr. Graf points out.
The fix: Two or three times a week, use a sugar scrub to gently exfoliate. Lightly towel dry, then apply a moisturizing lotion or cream, which will penetrate your skin better after you've sloughed off that flaky, dead layer.
Problem: Rough Feet and Cracked Heels
Why it happens: A season of stomping around in boots and skimping on pedicures can leave your soles with dry, dead layers of skin that not only look bad but can be quite painful.
The fix: In the morning apply a lightweight foot lotion to soften the skin. At night soak feet in Epsom salts for 10 minutes. Then rub them with a grainy scrub, slather with a thick cream, and cover with socks.
Problem: Rough Red Bumps on Your Arms or Thighs
Why it happens: Keratosis pilaris, also known as chicken skin, is an inherited condition in which dead cells and excess keratin (the hard protein found in hair, skin and nails) build up around follicles, clogging pores.
The fix: Use washes and lotions that contain glycolic or lactic acids in order to exfoliate dead cells and help skin absorb moisture.
Hair Removal: Legs
Why it matters: Because the skin on your legs doesn't produce much oil, adding moisture is key to avoid irritation.
Best de-fuzzing options: For shaving, let the hair soften in a steamy shower for at least three minutes. Then use a hydrating shave cream or gel — not soap, which dries out your skin — says Diane Wood, masterbarber for King of Shaves skincare. You can also try depilatories, or creams and foams that chemically dissolve the hair help minimize stubble and give you results that last a few days longer than shaving. Always moisturize your legs afterward.
Hair Removal: Bikini Line
Why it matters: The coarse hair in the bikini area is prone to ingrowns. Sensitive nerve endings intensify the ouch factor.
Best de-fuzzing options: Removing hair from the root through waxing only hurts for a second and you won't have to deal with regrowth for a month. For best results, make sure your hair is about one-quarter inch long. Shaving regularly, along with using an exfoliating post-shave lotion or gel, will keep the hair from curling back into the skin's surface. Depilatories are an option here too. Avoid nicks and cuts in this sensitive spot by using a depilatory cream or gel. The results last twice as long as shaving, plus the regrowth is softer, which helps prevent in growns.
Try: Veet Spray On Hair Removal Cream
Hair Removal: Underarms
Why it matters: Your underarm hair grows twice as fast as your leg hair, so you're constantly dealing with stubble, says dermatologist Robin Ashinoff, MD. Also, the delicate skin is easily irritated.
Best de-fuzzing options: Make sure you use a fresh razor every two weeks. Using a dull blade forces you to apply more pressure than if you were using a new one and can lead to nicks. Gently exfoliate under your arms first (deodorant residue can clog your pores) and be sure to use shaving cream.

The Advanced Happiness Training has helped me achieve a depth of understanding and empathy for both myself and others that enhances every one of my interpersonal relationships.
... an impressive ability to translate high level concepts from research on happiness science into very readable and actionable guides for general readers.
This has been one of the most intensely positive and profoundly valuable experiences of my life. In a remarkably short period of time my attitude, my disposition, my physical health, my thought process, my soul just way, way, way better. Working with Dr. Aymee goes like this: She immediately and quite magically assesses your situation. It's almost eerie how quickly and efficiently she zeroes in on all the aspects of your life that need improvement. And then she quite selflessly just helps flip this giant master switch that controls the symbiotic energy flow that links your mind, your heart, your body, and your soul. She switches your energy system from a coal engine locomotive chugging along inefficiently belching out thick chokes of black smoke to a solar powered clean fusion magnetized trackless bullet train that hovers over the earth and can probably one day fly straight up into the sky and launch you into outer space. One day. With Dr. Aymee's help. In my case, Dr. Aymee helped turn my inner thoughts and self talk from angry, panicked, and hyper critical to kind, compassionate, and supportive. dark to light. From negative to positive. From hopeless tailspin to gleeful upward spiral. From desperate self loathing to calm self love. Dr. Aymee is a kind, supportive, jovial, principled, conscious, forgiving, understanding, funny, silly angel on your shoulder who also has huge balls and will call you out on your bullshit in the best and most honest way possible. She's both your biggest cheerleader and your most demanding coach. Before I started working with Dr. Aymee, and for as long as I can remember, there was this non-stop negative loop in my mind, a never-ending inner monologue detailing and obsessing over all of my failures, my missteps, my social blunders. This was my inner critic. And he was a relentless asshole. In less than one week Dr. Aymee helped me silence this lifelong (39 years) negative voice in my head and replace it with my true voice, the voice of my inner colleague, the guy who has my back and tells it like it is. I went from stabbing myself in the back and shooting myself in the foot to finally having my own back and helping me push myself forward in life, in my evolution as a human soul with limited time on this planet. I am now happier, healthier, more grateful, more relaxed, more confident, more patient, more resilient, more hopeful, more positive, more aligned with my true life's purpose and calling. And I've only been working with Aymee a short while. The Happiness Makeover is not some gimmick or fad (though there are admittedly gimmicky and even corny exercises and lessons along the way). It is a fundamental and permanent and positive shift in your evolution as a human person and as eternal soul. I give the program my highest personal recommendation and believe that everyone on the planet could benefit.
As parents, we have found that it can be difficult to communicate effectively with our teenager. Happiness for HumanKIND has worked with us as a family, and helped us tremendously. They have shown us how to turn a tough situation into a positive one by using great communication tools and techniques. They are fun too! We always leave our classes feeling positive and happy.
Being part of the advanced study program was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. After completing the program, I worked with people from all walks of life and the experience was more than extraordinary. This was all because of what I leaned during the program. Not only do you unleash your happy self, you also learn how to help others achieve their deep inner contentment. Anyone looking to finally take control of their happiness and enhance who they are as individuals must seize the opportunity to be part of this advanced study program. You'll be glad you did.
The proprietary 5 Step formula for holistic well-being increase put forth by Happiness for HumanKIND has been refined over decades and has proven results of sustainable happiness. Everyone can benefit.
Happiness for HumanKIND has taken the science of happiness and made it accessible to all. They bring energy, passion, and joy to the work, while drawing on research to provide practical advice. If you want to experience more energy, passion, and joy in your life—whatever it is that you do—follow this system.
This work changed my life for the better! I learned how to take responsibility for my happiness and many tools that I still use to this day to fulfill my happiness decision.
Dr. Aymee Coget has extensive knowledge in sustainable happiness and positive psychology. She takes the latest scientific advances in positive psychology and applies them in her step-be-step practical leadership-based programs and corporate speeches. She teaches her audiences, for example, how to use positive psychology to help relieve stress and alleviate depression. Whether you are an individual looking to become happier, a mental health professional looking to learn how to use positive psychology, or a business looking for to transform your workplace into a happier environment, I encourage you to contact Happiness For HumanKIND.
Aymee is the happiest person I know. At first, being a notoriously UNHAPPY person, I thought it was suspicious that anyone could be that happy. I've suffered for so long with depression and anxiety and feelings of low self-worth and unlovability. But over the course of the make-over Aymee has shown me how to choose happiness in every moment. I'm so grateful to have joy in my life and to feel in control of my own sense of emotional wellbeing. Sustainable happiness is REAL!
Before this program I was stress smoking, feeling bitter, anxious, exiled and living in chronic pain. One hour into the happiness makeover I no longer felt the urge to smoke. There's been a definite shift in my countenance. I'm lighter, more relaxed, better able to make positive decisions; I relate to strangers with a smile and they reciprocate. Problems which once felt insurmountable are now easily solvable. I have my confidence back. I am once again who I know myself to truly be. Happiness is obtainable and sustainable. Happiness for HumanKIND is truly onto something powerful and life changing. I can't wait to keep traveling on this new path that has opened up for me. A great kick start to a new way of thinking and being.... happiness for real!
We received wonderful feedback from our tenants following Dr. Aymee's presentation "Stress Relief in the Workplace" at Bishop Ranch. She delivered a well-organized presentation that was both out-of-the-box and useful for today's working professional. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Aymee's professional speaking services for those looking to promote employee wellness in the corporate world.

Among the many tales based on the life of Lord Krishna, the Govardhan Hill story finds a special mention.
Krishna was a little boy when he lifted the Govardhan Parvat with the little finger of his left hand. The profound meaning and the moral of the story will help us become better humans.
Here's the story:
Krishna's foster father Nanda and the rest of the villagers were once preparing for a Puja. Krishna, who was a young boy then was curious to know what the people of his village were busy with. And that's when he was told that the Puja and the sacrificial arrangements were being made to please Indra Dev so that he could bless them with ample rain for good harvest.
Krishna, who believed in Karma, told the villagers to do their duty and not get worried about something that they can't control. He was of the opinion that one must do his duty and not worry about the consequences or expect something in return.
Also read: What Bhagavad Gita teaches us: Top 10 lessons we must remember!
Convinced by Krishna's views, the villagers decided not to do the Puja.
This angered Indra Dev, who decided to avenge the insult. He caused torrential rains and thunderstorms to destroy the village. Krishna understood Indra's intention and to save the villagers, he lifted the Govardhan Parvat on his little finger.
The villagers along with their cattle and other belongings took safe refuge under the Govardhan umbrella for seven days.
On seeing Krishna's leela and divine power, Indra Dev had no choice but withdraw the rains and thunderstorms.
Moral of the story:
Ego, anger, pride and hatred will invite only sufferings. Krishna's leela taught Indra the hard lessons of life. One cannot earn respect and love by force and compulsion. It's a reward one earns by showing humility and sincere love.

Expectations invite depression so just do your duty. If you do good, you will reap fruits.

Zyppah Review
Pronounced, "Zee-Pah" not "Zip-pah" this device is without a doubt one of the most unique anti-snoring devices.
Zyppah attacks the problem snoring using a hybrid approach, and it truly excels at what it does.
Whereas some mouthpieces are strictly tongue retaining devices, and others are strictly mandibular advancement devices this product combines both these features for a more comprehensive approach to reduce nightly snoring.
- Durable and well built
- Easily self-molded for a custom fit and maximum comfort
- Not available in Big Box stores like CVS or Walgreens
- Not effective at reducing snoring
- Feels bulky and hard to get used to wearing at night
Customer Service

Zyppah – A Different Take On Snoring Mouthpieces
A common problem with a lot of similar devices especially ones that you might see advertised a cheap alternatives include lack of custom fitting, poor quality plastic from overseas manufacturers interesting in getting the biggest bang for their buck, and haphazardly designed products that cause jaw discomfort.
Like all snoring devices, the Zyppah takes some getting used to. Most people aren't used to sleeping with a mouth piece, but after a few nights you will grow accustom to wearing it. Persistence is key.
One major concern that a lot of snorers have when they finally take that first step and purchase a new mouthpiece is
Who Is Dr. Greenburg?
Dr. Jonathon Greenburg is the both the brains and the public face behind the Zyppah product.
Realizing that other stop snoring devices fall short in more ways than one, he used his background in bioengineering to craft a mouthpiece superior to anything else on the market.
Dr. Greenburg is a dental sleep professional and sleep apnea expert who is currently involved in the Sleep Apnea Prevention Project focused on educating the public about the dangers of snoring and sleep apnea.
He graduated from the NYU Dental School in 1981 and has since treated thousands of patients suffering from snoring and sleep apnea.
Along with Dr. Martin, and Dr. Bresky he operates 5 Snore No More dental clinics across California which are specifically focused on treating Snoring & Sleep Apnea and nothing else.
Actual Customer Reviews
The ZYPPAH Rx stopped my snoring and was a lot more comfortable than I expected it to be. The boil and bite mouth piece made the ZYPPAH Rx a custom fit that felt like a much more expensive orthodontic piece. – Sleep Aid Solutions Blog
I felt so well rested the next day, it's made a huge difference in my life! – Howard W.
The very first night that Juan used the Zyppah, was the very first time in 8 years that we slept the whole night through. – Olga and Juan M.
An Easy To Mold Dental Appliance
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages this mouthpiece has over its competition is that it's quick and easy to start using the product with a fairly straight forward fitting process.
There are some similar products that actually require you to send a mold to a laboratory with could mean that you'll still be keeping your loved ones awake at night for up to two weeks while you wait for the lab to process your order.
The fitting process for Zyppah completely eliminates this problem all together. There's a simple step by step process involved to properly fit the product.
- Gather the materials necessary to get started with your fitting. You'll need a mirror (bathroom mirror works fine), a utensil of any kind (fork, knife, spoon, etc..), paper towels, a timer (you can use your smartphone for this), the mouthpiece, and a bowl or mirror with water heated just below boiling (roughly 200 degrees).
- Remove the seal and take the appliance out of the packaging.
- Drop the appliance in the heated water.
- Start your timer for 30 seconds.
- Use your utensil to ensure that the appliance is fully submerged for the 30-second duration of the heating process as it has a tendency to float. It's no harm if you want to leave it in a few seconds longer, but make sure to remove it before the water cools too much.
- Use your utensil to pull the appliance out of the water and lift it by the elastic band. Do not touch the sticky green material as it will be extremely hot and might burn your hand. Hold it by the elastic or gray portion which will not be nearly as hot.
- Immediately place the appliance in your mouth. The lower tray of the appliance that says "Zyppah" will fit the bottom of your mouth and should be facing right side up.
- Press the appliance down on your lower teeth first and hold your jaw forward for a few seconds. Afterwards bite down on the top of the appliance. Tip: Use a mirror here to help you see better.
- Take the appliance out of your mouth. You will notice indentations on the top and the bottom of the appliance fitted and it will now be fitted to your mouth's exact specifications.
- Run the appliance under cold water to make it hard and stiff and permanently set the mold. It will set almost immediately and you're good to go!
Who's This Product For?
If you are struggling with nightly snoring, and want to tackle the problem without wasting your time trying on various mouthpieces which are less than stellar in their performance than you can rest assured (literally) that you've found what you're looking for.
If you are diagnosed with a sleep disorder like Obstructive Sleep Apnea please check with your doctor as these devices are not sold as substitutes for conventional OSA treatments.
However, many individuals with OSA have reported a decrease in the symptoms associated with the disorder.
Product Q & A
Our Advice:
If you're looking for a solution that doesn't break the bank, and has been proven to be effective time and time again we highly recommend Zyppah which has a proven track record of reducing snoring in countless individuals. If you're interested in learning more about Zyppah visit the product website.

The Graveside tales offer the experience to read stories about incredible creatures that roam New England woodlands, lakes, ocean, and sky. Learn of bursting shorelines and interesting articles pouring down from the sky. Remember the dread of executioner storms, tornadoes, and fatal infernos. The area has played host to cryptid animals (ocean and lake beasts, Bigfoot, satyrs, thunderbirds, and that's only the tip of the iceberg). From solidified human hibernation and unconstrained human sightings of UFO kidnappings, witchcraft, and vampires, the book offers a great reading experience.
More New England Graveside Tales (New England's Graveside Tales):
This second volume of New England's Graveside Tales shows a dim sinkhole of a secret. Walk the unhallowed ground of a vampire and learn much about a portion of the principal valid hauntings in America. Look to the night skies for UFOs and investigate instances of outsider abductions that occurred in New England. At that point visit fascinating spots: châteaux, towers, graves, and exhibition halls, and be acquainted with some of history's most oppressed blamed for improbable and intolerable crimes.
Ghosts of Maine:
This book offers the enjoyment of ghost chasing as you go through the paranormal hotspots of Maine. It describes the cries of the crazy ghost who grieves her dead spouse at the Boon Island Lighthouse. Read about the wicked phantom of George Vigny who might protect privateer plunder on Jewell Island. You will get a feeling of a haunted flawless aroma in the Schaeffer Theater at Bates College.
Ghosts of Eden:
T.M. Dim's extraordinary spine-chiller, Ghosts of Eden, is the tale of a young lady's brave homecoming, her struggle with a terrible past, and a battle whose result may decide her own destiny, as well as that of the whole planet. It is 1947, the place was Mount Desert Island in Maine, a standout amongst the most looked for after summer resorts for the rich and renowned. Saxon Faraday, the little girl of a neighborhood mortician, is neither rich nor well known. She's returning home to Bar Harbor following a five-year illness at a crazy refuge.
Tooth and Claw:
The book's plot is similar to that of a Victorian romance – particularly, Anthony Trollope's novel Framley Parsonage – with the conspicuous distinction that the heroes are not individuals but rather mythical serpents. The novel starts with the demise of the patriarch of a group of mythical beasts and takes the lives of his youngsters, alongside different characters.
Saved by the Belle:
Saved by the Belle is an anthology of stories. The book was edited by T M Gray and Charles G Waugh.

The Greeks
One of my favorite William Butler Yeats's poems is his "Leda and the Swan." In Greek myth, Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces Leda, thus fathering Helon Troy (whose abduction started the Trojan War) and Clytemnestra, (Agamemnon's wife and murderer). Yeats thought of Zeus's appearance to Leda as a type of annunciation, like the angel appealing to Mary. Mary and Leda are both theotokos (god carriers).
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caresses
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there ...

To get a good introduction to Pilates, you might want to visit a studio that is a dedicated Pilates gym. A group class setting is ideal to begin exploring this popular fitness workout. Most instructors who teach in a Pilates gym have come from two distinct disciplines. One group will have a group exercise or personal trainer background, and the other, a dance or yoga background. One is not better than the other, just different, and both groups usually have obtained their Pilates certifications because of a deep conviction for the discipline.
An introduction to Pilates generally begins with a group of exercisers spread out in a large open room, each with their individual mats, and an instructor.
Finding the Right Pilates Class and Instructor
Depending on whether or not your instructor is a Joseph Pilates technique advocate, will depend on how much it looks familiar to other floor exercises you have done with fitness equipment like medicine balls, exercise balls, and bands. A Joseph Pilates purest will use only technique and equipment in their true form. Either class will give you a great introduction to pilates as a core strengthening program.
As you mature as a Pilates exerciser, you may decide to become the purest yourself, tapping into both the mind and body strength. It's a good idea to attend several classes with different instructors to get a genuine feel for Pilates. As with any relationship, some personalities match better than others, and the same is true with pilates instructors, just as it would be with personal trainers or group fitness trainers.
Pilates is Fitness For Life
Pilates is known for strengthening the core, but it also tones and reshapes the entire body gradually. A strong body requires a strong foundation which comes from the body's core. Pilates is designed to build from the core out to the extremities, while other strengthening programs focus on the extremities first. As your foundation strengthens, you will be able to complete more and more strength bearing moves and see dramatic changes in your body over time. Avoid comparing your improvements or your level of fitness to others in the class.
The most important thing to remember about Pilates is that it is an internal and external workout, and while the changes in your body may come slower than you would like at times, learn to enjoy the journey on your way to becoming stronger. Fitness is for life, not a destination.

Who is the most relationally proficient person you know?
You may not have heard the term relationally proficient before, but we're confident that you understand the question. Who do you know who makes a practice of really tuning in to people? Who do you know who is genuinely curious about people? Who is strangely adept at focusing on what a person says and asking questions that help that person get to the core of it? Who do you know who feels, to you and others, like a living, breathing safe haven?
There are people with whom nearly all of us just find it easy to connect. The difference is that for the truly relationally proficient among us, there's nothing conditional about the willingness to connect; it's not dependent on how much we like the other person. Being relationally proficient becomes part of who we are. While it may be true that a few of us are born with such capacity, or are nurtured in our families of origin such that relational proficiency is second nature to us, it is also true that it can be learned.
Take a look at the practices mentioned in that first paragraph: tuning in, being curious, engaging with what the person says, being a safe haven. These are relational practices, and they are learnable skills.
But are these practices necessary components of exceptional care? We have come to understand that they are necessary if care is to even be called adequate.
While these relational practices are more than mere tools, they are in fact tools, and when used properly they're tools that make some very important things happen. If we use the tool of tuning in—or attuning—to someone, the person feels seen because she is seen. She feels as though she matters, and, interestingly, the more attuned attention you pay to the person, the more you will come to care about the person (Goleman, 2013). If you use the tool of genuine curiosity—if you wonder with and about a person—the person feels as though he is worthy of your interest and, again, he feels as though he matters to you. If you use the tool of hooking in with genuine interest to what the person says or does—the tool called following—the person experiences that you are not only working for him, but that you are working with him to find a solution or to get him some relief. If you use the tool of creating a safe haven—the tool of mentally and emotionally (and sometimes physically) holding the person—the person will feel safe with you (Koloroutis & Trout, 2012).
The practices that create and nurture relationships with patients and families are attuning, wondering, following, and holding. As we teach these practices, we have noticed that there seem to be few if any people who have adopted the therapeutic practices of attuning, wondering, following, and holding in their work with patients and families who have not also embraced them in their relationships with their own families, significant others, friends, and co-workers. They are not merely "therapeutic practices;" they're the four practices that create, nurture, deepen, and improve all relationships.

As a See Me as a Person facilitator and leader, Tina Martin, MSN, RN, NE-BC, Magnet Program Coordinator Lancaster General Health/Penn Medicine sends out weekly thoughts for sharing in huddles or email communications. We wanted to share this "thought for the week." It is a wonderful example of how leaders can re-mind us to step out of auto-pilot reactive thinking/behavior and be intentionally non-judging.
We all deserve a "judgment free environment." A fitness chain even advertises that they have a "judgement-free zone" so people feel comfortable exercising without being labeled. It can be easy to fall into the labeling trap. We know "we can't judge a book by its cover" but we often do. We judge people by their appearance, by the way they talk, by their behavior. We develop preconceived notions before we really get to know a person.
Think of all the labels we place on our patients. We judge them by the amount of times they use their call bell, by the frequency of their hospital admissions, by their addiction disease. Sometimes these labels can create an unsafe environment for our patient, especially when we label our patient by their room number or a diagnosis, without using their name. What about labels we place on our colleagues? We sometimes label an entire department because of the actions of one person.
We all deserve to work and receive care in a "judgement-free environment." For today, stop using labels to refer to other people and encourage your colleagues to do the same. You will be amazed at how this change in behavior will leave your mind open to wondering about your colleagues and your patients…and seeing them as a person.
Relationship. Human connection. In diverse settings from hospitals to clinics, caregivers are honoring the importance of the relational part of their professional role. A beautiful example is this reflection from Tina Martin, MSN, RN, NE-BC, Magnet Program Coordinator and facilitator of See Me as a Person Thank you Tina and all caregivers everywhere for your care and compassion.
Week of July 25, 2016 – Relationship Based Care SMAAP Thought for the Week Lancaster General Health/Penn Medicine
Have you ever considered illness as a "non-ordinary state?" And as with many other things, illness and a "non-ordinary" state can take on many degrees of severity. It can be a minor illness, such as a headache. It can be a chronic illness that never can be cured. Or it can be a devastating, life-ending illness. Being in a "non-ordinary" state causes us to behave and act in "non-ordinary" ways (Koloroutis and Trout, n.d.). Being in this "non-ordinary state" creates in us a feeling of vulnerability, helplessness, fear, sometimes anger. It also creates a need for human connection. Being aware of this "non-ordinary state" and being attuned to your patient enhances the connection you will have with your patient. That connection….that therapeutic relationship…is what is needed to help your patient and their family feel safe and held in your care.
The following note was left on the door of a patient who was dying in an ICU (Koloroutis & Trout, 2016)
"This may be a typical stressed out day for you…
But our lives have been turned upside down.
Please take a breath.
With deep appreciation, Carol's Family"

Each one-point increase on a scale that measured depersonalization — a feeling of withdrawal or of treating patients as objects rather than as human beings — was associated with an 11 percent increase in the likelihood of reporting an error. Each one-point increase on a scale measuring emotional exhaustion was associated with a 5 percent increase.
Annals of Surgery
You probably know death certificates don't record when a person dies from a medical error. Still, with surprising frequency, medical errors in various forms including communication break-downs lead to death, near misses and complications, not to mention human suffering.
Significantly, we in healthcare are getting better at understanding how communication breakdowns, and misattunement can directly result in patient harm and death. Nonetheless, we spend just a fraction of our healthcare budgets on building skills and accountability to eliminate ineffective human interactions which lead to medical error.
We imagine a day when highly attuned relationships will be an expected part of high quality medical care. Picture this: relationship-based cultures which honor the human dignity of each person. Clinicians meet and connect intentionally with teammates, patients and families. Partnership replaces hierarchy.
Some people criticize relational aspects of medical care as a "needless luxury". We teach people how to attune. It is remarkable how quickly people learn this skill when we de-mystify it. Moreover, the learning spreads. Very quickly we see people model the behaviors, thus, creating a culture in which attuned and caring communication is an expected norm.
The Greater Good Science Center partnered with Compassion Lab and the University of Michigan's Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship to develop a Compassionate Organizations Quiz. They asked readers about their experiences of organizational compassion. You'd think compassion in healthcare would be widely practiced, surprisingly, it isn't. In fact, other industries including criminal justice, are more compassionate than healthcare.
While there may be numerous reasons for healthcare to lag in compassion, there are provoking reasons to bring compassion-building practices back to the heart of healthcare. Compassionate care is defined as care that notices, feels and responds to the suffering of others (Von Dietz, 2000, M; Lown, B.A.J.Rosen, J.Martilla 2011) – representing a specific kind caring. We are beginning to understand how and why organizational compassion is vital to all of us in healthcare – whether patient or professional. It positively influences pretty much every critical measure including HCAHPS and employee engagement. For example, in a study of over 260 hospitals, investigators discovered that practices including compassionate employee awards, and pastoral care support for staff strongly positively correlated to patients' "likelihood to recommend" the hospital. (Click here to download Compassion Practices and HCAHPS)
One notable example of meaningful employee recognition which cultivates organizational compassion is The Daisy Award. This award recognizes extraordinary nursing care. A large multi-site study analyzed the results of over 2000 nominations from patients, families and colleagues and identified several behavioral themes common to Daisy Award winners. "Genuine compassion and caring" ranked first out of 22 extraordinary nursing behaviors. (To learn more check out these resources: Strengthening the Workforce Through Meaningful Recognition and CHCM Daisy Foundation White Paper). Perhaps most important is the sense of accomplishment and pride such awards provide caregivers. We encourage you to take action in your organization to consciously build a culture of compassion.

My daughter recently acted in The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other, a one act play by Peter Handke. The play depicts a town square with hundreds of characters including old ladies, lovers, children, joggers, mothers, fathers, brides, musicians, clowns, workmen all wordlessly crossing the stage. We glimpse moments in their lives leaving us to wonder about their past and future stories.
The play reminded me of a hospital. Consider the story told to me by a colleague about the patient in room 372. Some people may perceive "bed 372" as a cranky lady who complains excessively about not getting a warm blanket on demand. After all, why should she make such a "big deal" about not immediately getting a warm blanket?
Her name is Shirley. She is 74 years old, a "warrior" who has survived two open heart surgeries, a stroke and several cardioversions for atrial fibrillation. Following each setback or surgery, she fought her way back. She worked hard in rehab five days per week to stay in shape and subsequently befriended the other phase-three rehab patients and staff.
In March, 2007, her husband died, and one month later, so did her son. Caring for her husband toward the end of his life challenged her as she felt powerless and demoralized. One day while talking with her physician, she broke down and cried, recalling a terrifying incident when she was about 10 years old. She and her family were living on a farm in southern Minnesota. Her grandfather was very ill, and staying with the family. The rest of the family left to work the fields, leaving Shirley alone in the house to care for her grandfather. Her grandfather took a rapid turn for the worse, dying while she was alone with him. She felt helpless about getting the help needed to save him.
After her husband and son died, Shirley fought serious loneliness and depression for a year. About six months ago she met John. A couple of weeks ago she and John were about to go out to dinner, when she collapsed in cardiac arrest. John called 911 and performed CPR. The ambulance brought her to Methodist Hospital where she underwent acute reopening of a blocked circumflex coronary artery. She was placed on the hypothermia protocol (chilled, sedated, and paralyzed) for the first 24 hours to minimize damage to vital organs. Imagine her with suboptimal sedation, unable to move, feeling powerless, and absolutely freezing.
After being in the ICU on a ventilator for two weeks she graduated to room 372. She lost some of her short term memory as a result of the arrest and appears more impatient than before. She finds swallowing difficult and dislikes the soft diet. She's slowly increased her capability to exercise, but struggles with the amount of muscle strength she's lost. Some days she gets kind of "cranky."
And she sometimes gets cold. When she gets chilly, she becomes terrified by an ill-defined recollection of feeling absolutely freezing, unable to move, and powerless to do anything. She feels desperate for a caring person to bring her a warm blanket, to comfort her, ease the cold, and eradicate her sense of powerlessness. Sometimes she must wait for over an hour and gets really "cranky."
The hospital, viewed as a set in the play, The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other, presents a stage on which people cross in an average of 4 days. As a snapshot, we see only a "cranky" lady in room 372, unreasonably demanding blankets. Alternatively, consider the intricate back story preceding the snapshot and our privileged position to create a memorable hospital stay adding to the life narrative of the patient and family.
Safe Haven, Holding…
Holding is lifting up, affirming, protecting and dignifying the person
I watch over and create a safe haven for those patients and families in my care – See Me as a Person
"How was your night?" This is one of the most often heard inquiries each morning when staff come into the patient room first thing in the morning. Responses range from "terrible to OK". We rarely hear "I rested well". However, consider this brilliant idea: creating a "Therapeutic Night" for patients. This practice, shared with us by, by Mary Del Guidice MSN, BS, RN, CENP, CNO of Penn Hospital, is a beautiful example of integrating therapeutic relational practices with clinical care priorities and patient-centered care. The result is an important intervention which is aiding patients in getting a restful night's sleep.
The theory behind the "Therapeutic Night" Mary says, is a response to a thorny challenge – helping patients be less anxious at night. She says, "every patient that enters the threshold of our doors into our care is afraid…. afraid of something. This fear is most profound at night. The 'Therapeutic Night' is meant to communicate through caring (therapeutic practices) that the health care team is there through the wee hours watching over and keeping patients safe". She has partnered with the Patient Experience Team to embed this practice into their H.E.A.R.T Bundle of patient-centered care practices at Penn. Thank you Mary Del Guidice for allowing us to share your practice. We hope it spurs others to consider implementing this brilliant idea.

Not all dogs are cut out for Honeymoon Island, Ft. Desoto, or Davis Island Dog Park. Most Tampa Bay dog-friendly beaches are packed with pooches. Taking an unsocial dog to a busy dog beach can be nerve-racking and potentially dangerous. But that doesn't mean a water loving dog has to miss out on all of the fun. You may be tempted to find a hidden spot on a local lake or a park on the river, take off the leash, and let your pup go. But take it from Rodger, the pit bull that had a close encounter with a 10-foot gator on the Hillsborough River or Jessie, the 50-pound mixed breed snatched by the bank of a lake in Sunrise, FL earlier this year; it can be risky.
The Apollo Beach Nature Preserve is dog friendly, leash only, and not crowded. There are often only a few dogs there, even on the weekends. If you really want to isolate your pup from the other dogs there are plenty of bends, coves, lagoons, and mangroves, so if you find the right spot he can swim without the distraction of seeing other dogs playing. Even with the lack of crowds, take caution if you have an aggressive dog, as some owners don't follow the leash rules and the enforcement appears to be lacking. But the beach is nice and you can choose the bay side with waves or the calmer inlet near TECO's Big Bend Power Station.
Other activities include bird watching, fishing, and picnicking. Restrooms, water fountains, and picnic shelters are available. The Apollo Beach Nature Preserve is on Tampa Bay only about 30 minutes from Tampa and 45 minutes from St. Petersburg off of I-75 (google maps).

Mormon University Professor Fired for Saying that Homosexuality Isn't Sinful
A Mormon professor at an Idaho university affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was fired after writing a private Facebook post in which she said that, contrary to the views of the church, homosexuality is not a sin.
Related: Trump tweets pride for his hotel and skating rink, but doesn't recognize LGBT Pride Month on Twitter
Ruthie Robertson, 22, wrote the post in support of the LGBT community at the start of Pride Month in June, The Washington Post reported.
"This is my official announcement and declaration that I believe heterosexuality and homosexuality are both natural and neither is sinful," she wrote. "I will never support the phrase 'love the sinner, hate the sin' because that 'sin' is part of who that person is. Homosexuality and transgenderism are not sins; if God made us, and those are part of who we are…then God created that as well."
Robertson, who was hired to teach political science at Brigham Young University-Idaho last fall, had kept the post private, and she was not friends with any of her students on Facebook, according to the report. However, two of her Facebook friends reported the post to her school.
The next day she was called in to have a meeting with several administrators at the school, which is owned by the LDS Church. Asked to take down her post, she declined. She was instructed to go away, rethink what she had posted and pray. A week later came another meeting in which she again refused to remove her post. Over the phone, she was told that she would be allowed to finish teaching her classes that semester. After her final class, she was reportedly informed that her fall semester classes had been canceled.
"I knew when I posted it it would be kind of controversial," Robertson told the Idaho State Journal. "But it never crossed my mind that I would lose my job. I could have taken the post down, but I chose not to. This was my choice."

Robertson wrote in her initial post that "I realize that my views counter the current day policies of the LDS Church," but she said she hoped that the church would "Come to see the harm these policies have."
The honor code on BYU's website specifically addresses homosexuality when stating that it will "respond to homosexual behavior rather than to feelings or attraction and welcomes as full members of the university community all whose behavior meets university standards. Homosexual behavior is inappropriate and violates the Honor Code."
Robertson argues there was no justification for her dismissal.
"Nothing in the contract says you can't privately disagree with something with the church," she told The Washington Post. "There is nothing in the contract that says I can't express my personal opinions on my Facebook."
Robertson, who said that she had planned on teaching at the school for years to come, is now working at a bar while searching for a new job. She regrets the fact that she lost an opportunity to be a positive force for change within the church.
"Now that I'm fired, I don't have the opportunity inside to make that change," she said. "I want people to realize that some in our church take our beliefs and views to extremes that cause harm to others. It's out of love that I want these changes to happen."
