You may assume that most bedroom decor ideas are geared towards aesthetic changes, but in reality, the way that your bedroom is decorated can make all the difference between a poor night's sleep or a good one. In fact, there is so much to be said about how sleep environment affects slumber that there is even a term coined that sums it up perfectly… sleep-makeover.
Yup, sleep-makeovers are a real thing, y'all. According to sleep specialists, doctors, feng shui masters and interior designers, anyway. Speaking from experience, it makes a lot of sense that a good sleep environment will help achieve good sleep. Even something as simple as the room temperature, lighting and wall colours can affect your slumber – just imagine how much your choice of bedroom decor is influencing your sleep.
How can you set the right tone for happy sleep, and what bedroom decor ideas will help you nod off to dreamland faster than that dodgy sleeping pill you're trying not to take?
Create a Soothing Sleep Environment With These Bedroom Decor Ideas
The bedroom is the most personal room in your home. This room should be dedicated to just two things: sleeping and romance. That means no watching TV in bed, no working from your room and certainly no arguments or bad vibes in the bedroom. Choosing the right colours for your room is every bit as important as considering how the room is arranged. Then there are other things you will also need to keep in mind to create a restful environment.
Top tips for a sleep-makeover include the following:
#1 Keep colours soft, cool and neutral
[via MyIdealHome.tmblr]
Cool, calm shades in neutrals, blues, whites and other soft tones can help you get to sleep more easily. Nicolette Vajtay, certified Black-Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui practitioner and owner of Inspired Living Feng Shui says that too much bright red and orange should be avoided, stating that, "Too much fire color in a bedroom can create anxiety and restless sleep." Adding colour through bedding, curtains or even cushions is often easier than repainting – if you do decide to repaint however, it's best to settle on a light shade that is versatile and not overpowering.
#2 Clear out the clutter – for good this time
[via MyScandinavianHome]
Yes, yes. I know how it goes. You were going to clear up that overflowing dresser eventually! Trust me, I feel your pain. But do you know how much more relaxed I felt in my bedroom when I finally de-cluttered? It was nothing short of a small miracle and best of all, I have kept it sans clutter for nearly a full month. Clutter such as fitness equipment in the corner, overloaded washing hampers, piles of clothes or shoes everywhere, loose odds and ends scattered all over your bedside table and too many ornaments, accessories, cushions and other stuff squashed in to the room makes for a room that is far too busy. The less things in the room, the less your eyes have to take in, and the less mentally tired you feel. Clear it all out, and be brutal if you have to.
#3 Light during day, dark at night
[via biskopsgarden]
You would think this would be quite logical, giving how we use the sun and moon to determine when we rise and when we go to sleep. But when it comes to bedroom design, having too much light at night can be bad for sleep. On the other hand, not having enough natural light during the day can be depressing. If you live in a city, consider light blocking curtains that reduce outside lights. Dr. Catherine Darley, sleep specialist at The Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine in Seattle, says, "Make your bedroom as dark as possible–think cave-like. This includes light blocking shades, no LEDs on electronics, and no lit clock."
#4 Opt for good quality, natural materials wherever possible
[via miathesuperordinary]
Natural materials are lighter, warmer, more comfortable and easier to 'breathe'. As room temperature is vital to a good sleep, you want to get warm without being stifled. Synthetic fibres are often heavier, with closer knit weaves that may keep air in, but don't help to let air out. Raw silk, cotton, linen, bamboo, wool and other natural fibres ramp up the luxury factor, to help you feel soothed and comforted whatever the weather. Maybe it's just me, but the feel of cool cotton beneath my toes is often enough to make me drift off with a happy little sigh and a smile on my face.
#5 Keep it simple and practical
[via niklasbergstrand.com]
Bedroom decor ideas that are over the top, too busy or not geared at creating a restful environment are all counter-productive to sleep-makeovers. Instead, keep your decor as simple as possible. Mirrors can be distracting, so try and position yours so that it is not directly in front of the bed. Plants are always good – especially as they add clean air into the room. Rugs are good too – opt for something soft and comfortable rather than eye-catching and overly busy. Wall art works best over the bed so that it does not distract you while you are trying to fall asleep. The idea is to have a room that is easy on the eyes and on the mind.
Of course, the best way to ensure that you have a sleeping haven that is sure to help you snooze away is to choose bedroom decor that you love, colours you love and styles that make you feel calm, happy and ready to dream away from the moment you head hits the pillow.
What is your favourite bedroom style, and how do you ensure a peaceful night's sleep? Share your ideas below – I'd love to hear 'em.

I have my stuff done, almost. Got all the washing done and things sorted for my Ireland packing. We went to Blgs Monday and got the proper sized carry-on bags. They are sure little, but will hold quit a bit. More than it looks. Even got a paperback book to read in the airports and a puzzle book for variation. They fit in the little bag. Can also get camera stuff in it.
Raked the sticks out of the back yard yesterday. Now I have to do the side. Used my handy dandy push mower to knock down the cottonwood tree sprouts. The grass didn't need mowed, just these tall little hummers and a couple of taller weeds. Now I can rake again. That will be my physical labor for this trip. Vacuumed some cobwebs in the basement and window sills.
I looked up addresses online from Spuddie's address book. Sent notices to all those that matched. Quite a few didn't match up so they don't get one.
Made the picture cds for Ed and got those in the mail too. I called him and he's still at the same address. Have called Gma everyday and she's anxious for me to get back. She doesn't actually say that but drops subtle hints that I should be there no later than Friday. Since I got so much work actually accomplished I really don't have a good excuse to stay longer. All the bills arrived and have been paid except one insurance one.
Hope you have all the pics off my flickr site that you want as I'll change them when I get back to Mtse. It works faster on wireless. Whooeee!!

Role of Soft Palate in Adaptation of Transmissible Influenza Viruses
Flu infection in mammals starts when an influenza virus protein called hemagglutinin binds to sialic acid (SA) molecules on the tops of chain-like proteins that thickly line tissue throughout the respiratory tract. Flu viruses adapted to humans and other mammals bind preferentially to a type of SA called alpha 2,6 SA (a2,6 SA), which is the predominant form found in the upper respiratory tract of mammals, while avian flu viruses bind best to a form, a2,3 SA, that predominates in birds.
According to an article published online in the journal Nature (23 September 2015), a previously unappreciated role for the soft palate has been identified to better understand how influenza (flu) viruses acquire the ability to move efficiently between people. In studies using ferrets, the authors collected evidence that this patch of mucous-coated soft tissue separating the mouth from the nasal cavity is a key site for the emergence of flu viruses with a heightened ability to spread through the air. The finding could aid efforts to define the properties governing flu virus transmissibility and predict which viruses are most likely to spark pandemics.
For the study, four mutations were made in the hemagglutinin of the flu strain responsible for the 2009 influenza pandemic. This strain was notoriously good at spreading from person to person. The intent of introducing the mutations was to make the virus preferentially bind to bird-type SA and, presumably, be less transmissible via air than the original virus. The engineered virus was then used to infect a group of ferrets, which are widely used as a model of human influenza infection. The next day, uninfected ferrets were placed in cages separated from infected ferrets by a perforated barrier. Nasal secretions were collected from all of the animals for two weeks.
To the surprise of the authors, the engineered flu virus was transmitted by the airborne route to uninfected ferrets just as well as the original non-mutated virus.
To understand this unexpected result, the authors sequenced viral genetic material obtained from the ferret nasal washes. The sequencing was done by a team at the J. Craig Venter Institute, Rockville, Maryland. It was discovered that airborne transmission was associated with a single genetic change in the engineered virus's hemagglutinin that gave it the ability to bind to mammalian-type a2,6 SA of a particular class (long chain) without the loss of the other introduced changes that had made it an a2,3 SA binding type. This genetic reversion appears to have occurred within 24 hours of administering the engineered flu virus to the experimentally infected ferrets. Subsequently, they passed it on to uninfected ferrets in the adjacent cages.
Next, the authors looked at tissues from several locations in the ferrets' upper and lower respiratory tract to more precisely define the location of the reverted, long chain a2,6 SA-binding virus. They infected groups of ferrets with the engineered virus — containing the same four mutations in hemagglutinin as in the first set of experiments — and three, five or seven days later, took tissue samples from various locations, including the soft palate. Results showed that the soft palate, which has surfaces facing both the mouth and nasal cavity, stood out as the prime location for an abundance of virus containing the single genetic reversion that allows it to bind to mammalian-type SA. By three days post-infection, more than 90% of the viral material collected from the soft palate contained the reverted, long chain a2,6-binding form of virus. The other tissue sites examined showed a mix of engineered and reverted virus at all the tested time points after infection. Other parts of the ferret respiratory system do have large amounts of cells bearing a2,6 SA, yet the reverted virus dominated only in the soft palate. Pig and human cadaver soft palate tissue was also studied by the team and revealed density, type and locations of a2,6 SA-bearing proteins similar to those seen in ferrets.
According to the authors, much remains to be explored in this small region of anatomy to better define the characteristics that make it a key spot for rapid virus evolution and selection of airborne transmissible flu viruses. It may be, for example, that flu viruses with superior ability to transmit through the air are those that outcompete other flu virus variants in the soft palate and that inflammation associated with infection there stimulates the sneezing and coughing needed to better propel flu virus onward to new contacts.

Amy Winehouse was born into a family with a history of jazz musicians. She grew up in the suburb of Southgate, North London, and attended Ashmole School. Amy Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released in October 2003. It was produced mainly by Salaam Remi with many songs having jazz-influences and, apart from two covers, every song was co-written by Amy Winehouse. The album received positive reviews with compliments over the "cool, critical gaze" in its (sometimes explicit) lyrics and brought comparisons of her voice to, amongst others, Sarah Vaughan and Macy Gray. The album entered the upper levels of the UK album chart in 2004 when it was nominated for Brit Awards in the categories of "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Urban Act". It went on to sell platinum. Later in 2004, she won the Ivor Novello songwriting Award for "Best Contemporary Song" with her contribution to the first single, "Stronger Than Me" (alongside Salaam Remi). The album also made the short list for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. In the same year, she performed at the Glastonbury Festival, on the Jazzworld stage, and at the V Festival.
Back to Black, Amy Winehouse's second album, was released in October 2006, a little more than three years since the release of Frank. The first single released from the album was "Rehab", a song about her past refusal to attend an alcohol rehabilitation centre after it was encouraged by her management company. The second single from the album was "You Know I'm No Good".

The Team
Dr. Chelsea Layden-Power, D.C.
Doctor of Chiropractic
I grew up figure skating in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta where I was the oldest of four children. I was able to further develop my skating skills when I became a hockey player while attending school at the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox Saskatchewan. I absolutely loved and embraced the team atmosphere there. In high school I began working for two chiropractors. I loved what they did and set out to pursue chiropractic school first by attending the University of Regina, and then Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California. After completing my Doctor of Chiropractic I moved to Lethbridge to begin my practice; excited to be back in Alberta!
I enjoy reading, cycling, gluten-free baking and walking in the coulees. My life was further blessed in 2011 when I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Jacey, 100% naturally at home. Chiropractic is not my job, it is truly my lifestyle. Each day in the clinic is not going to work but spending time in service to my community through teaching and building relationships with my patients. My patients are an extension of my family.
John Power
RMT, ART Provider
Hailing from Manitoba, I am the younger of two children. After attending high school at the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, I went on to attend university and play NCAA hockey and golf at Bemidji State in Bemidji, Minnesota. I got jazzed about ART when I was treated for back pain by Dr. Jayson Shephard in Calgary, Alberta. After experiencing ART firsthand I thought, "I want to do that." So I set out to do it.
I am fortunate to enjoy skiing, biking, and yoga as a regular part of my life and love hanging out with my dogs, cooking, and a good glass of wine. I am the proud father of a beautiful girl, Jacey, and treasure watching her grow and learn. Chiropractic is my way of life. The idea that health and happiness flow from the inside out is a beautiful thing.

We the delegates numbering 160, who participated in the National Conference on Yoga and Indian Approaches to Psychology held in Pondicherry from September 29 through October 1, 2002, issue the following declaration and agree on the manifesto given below for strengthening psychological study, research and practice in India.
We believe that the state of psychology in India is none too flattering. In fact, we find psychology in India unable to play its necessary role in our national development. It is widely believed that this unfortunate state of affairs is largely due to the fact that psychology in India is essentially a Western transplant, unable to connect with the Indian ethos and concurrent community conditions. Therefore, it has been said repeatedly that psychological studies in India are by and large imitative and replicative of Western studies, lacking in originality and unable to cover or break any new ground.
This situation is in a significant sense surprising because classical Indian thought is rich in psychological content. Our culture has given rise to a variety of practices that have relevance all the way from stress-reduction to self-realization. Rich in content, sophisticated in its methods and valuable in its applied aspects, Indian psychology is pregnant with possibilities for the birth of new models in psychology that would have relevance not only to India but also to psychology in general. What we have in India now is a psychology of sorts, but not Indian psychology. By Indian psychology we mean a distinct psychological tradition that is rooted in Indian ethos and thought, including the variety of psychological practices that exist in the country. We believe that introduction of Indian psychology as a course of study and as a basis for fundamental and applied research could awaken psychology in India from its present state of slumber to an active and enlightened pursuit for understanding human nature and for promoting our wellness and potential.
We believe also that the Indian models of psychology would have enormous implications for health psychology, education, organizational management and human and social development. Emphasis on Indian psychology would provide a comprehensive foundation and a refreshing new and indigenous orientation to all other branches of psychology.
Judicious introduction of Indian psychology at various levels in our universities and colleges would help (a) to promote indigenous psychology in India and (b) to develop new psychological models, which may have pan- human relevance. We therefore, make the following recommendations as necessary steps for responsibly promoting psychology in India. We urge all those interested in advancing psychological thought and practices in India to please keep them in focus, while determining their priorities of assistance.

In case you may not remember us, my wife Jenny and adopted Sabre from DPS back in late August of this year. Last weekend we took a trip to our local store and ran into two DPS workers who remembered Sabre from his early days with your group (I can't recall their names). They were so happy to see him, and to see how healthy he is. They asked us to send some pictures for your new website, which I've included in this email. Let us know if you need any more. Some of these were taken in low light, so they quality isn't the best - but he sure does look cute!
Sabre is doing very well, and we're so happy to have him as a part of our family! He recently graduated from dog "middle school", and will soon be graduating from dog "high school". He's very smart, and has already mastered many commands. He's currently learning how to heel, and to ring a bell when he needs to go potty outside. He gets lots of love and attention, and in turn so do we. :) We can't thank you enough for helping us find him.
Dear DPS Workers,
It's been 1 year since we adopted Sabre from you at the Petco in San Jose, CA. Since then he's become an important member of our family, and has grown quite a bit. He's graduated from doggy "middle school" and "high school", has travelled all over the West Coast (LA 2 times, Carmel 4 times, Lake Tahoe, and even Oregon for a dog-friendly wedding), and has increased his confidence enough that he's finally able to stay by himself (he's an independent "big dog" now). He's even become a regular at Dave's work (he's won over even non dog-lovers). But through all of this time, he hasn't lost the charm and gentle nature that makes him the "million dollar dog" you told us he was. We can't thank you enough for rescuing him so he could be a part of our family.
David and Jenny

Barbados is a coral island. A coral reef stretches all around Barbados' coastline, providing for unlimited surfing conditions all over.
Whether a swell approaches the island from a northerly or westerly direction, or if it's moving in from the East or the South, Barbados is guaranteed to have surf somewhere along its shores at almost any given time of the year.
The East Coast of Barbados is the premier surf spot as far as power and size of waves are concerned. The "Soup Bowl" at Bathsheba is internationally recognized in the surfing world. This is where Kelly Slater impressively made his come back onto the world tour of pro surfing in 2002.
Along the South Coast of Barbados, surfers find what they are looking for at many spots along the way down to Southpoint, on any given day of the year.
From Brandons near Bridgetown to Accra Beach, the size of the waves is moderate. So it is at Freids where the cleanest wave you can imagine, rolls out on Cottons Bay's beach. Closer to the rocks, short boarders are in their element and next to them long boarders find their dream conditions. Right around the corner is South point, home of many surfing competitions in the past, with a fairly powerful and clean wave.
The northern end of the West Coast of Barbados isn't any milder when things are happening. Duppys and some other breaks in the north -west can easily live up to Hawaiian standards. While some breaks claim a little effort to get to, the waves of Maycocks roll out on a lovely white sand beach and are easier to access. Further down the west coast there is a point break of Gibbs and the shallow reefs of Tropicana and Sandy Lane.

Miranda Debuts iTX IP Simulcast Output at IBC 2013
Last Updated: September 11, 2013 11:04 pm GMT
(Montreal, Canada--September 11, 2013) Miranda Technologies, a Belden Brand, a global provider of integrated solutions for production, playout and delivery systems for television broadcasters and multi-system operators, will introduce its new IP Simulcast Output functionality for iTX at IBC 2013.
The IP Simulcast Output is a mezzanine-encoded IP signal output that resides alongside the standard SDI channel output on the iTX hardware. The production of the encoded stream within iTX improves playout efficiency because this step traditionally has required an additional downstream encoder.
Broadcast facilities are transitioning to IP platforms to streamline operations, lower costs and handle the increasing demand for data throughput. The development of the iTX IP Simulcast Output serves this growing need in several ways. For example, the encoded stream can emanate directly from iTX to an emission-level encoder/transcoder for simple distribution of programming bound for multiple platforms, such as Web and OTT. One such transcoder is Elemental Live, which is being demonstrated in an integrated workflow with iTX on Miranda's stand at IBC.
Dave Stollery, Miranda's vice president, Workflow and Playout, said, "Because the iTX simulcast output – either MPEG-2 or H.264 – leverages the power of an IP infrastructure that is for many already in place, the headaches of dedicated SDI cabling and distribution are sharply reduced. By removing an interim step and a potential failure point in the workflow, we create an unobstructed, straight-line route to fast and efficient playout to a multitude of devices."
In addition to the new IP output, Miranda will also be featuring several new enhancements to iTX including version 1.1 of iTX Render Service for Adobe® After Effects® CS6 software. iTX Render Service automates and manages fully rendered After Effects graphics, making them immediately ready for playout from either the iTX platform or Miranda's Vertigo Suite of graphics automation and asset management tools. Also being demonstrated is the iTX Master Control solution, the only integrated playout solution that combines playout automation with live event functionality using hardware control panels that can be seamlessly switched to, and from, as required throughout a live broadcast.
The new iTX capabilities and Miranda's latest solutions will be seen at IBC 2013 on Stand 8.D41. For more information, visit
