Criminal complaint against Croatian policemen for inhumane treatment of refugees
Today, Centre for Peace Studies filed a criminal complaint to the State Attorney's Office in Zagreb against the unknown perpetrators police officers based on a reasonable doubt of degrading treatment and torture of 33 people and their violent, illegal expulsion from the territory of the Republic of Croatia to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
These are four separated cases combined into one criminal complaint due to similarities in treatment. In particular, among other, all victims suffered torture and degrading treatment: according to their testimonies, the police marked them with permanent, orange spray all over their heads.
For almost four years now, people who come to our country in search of safety have systematically been exposed to even greater risk. This risk is the practice of the Ministry of Interior and its orders, through which refugees are being violently pushed back using batons, guns, punches, violating human dignity and safety by taking refugees' clothes off in the middle of the forest and taking away everything they have. In early May, a new, deeply humiliating element was added to this practice - marking refugees and other migrants with a permanent, orange spray cross over their heads.
In contact with the victims and witnesses of these serious human rights violations, the Centre for Peace Studies is filing criminal charges and, if needed, will take other legal steps to support the protection of the rights, life and human dignity of these people.
"We ask for an effective investigation and sanctioning of the perpetrators. We expect from the new leadership of the State Attorney's Office to recognize the gravity and seriousness of these crimes and act according to its duty and according to the law - thus stopping the practice of the old leadership", said Antonia Pindulić on behalf of the Centre for Peace Studies.
From the numerous testimonies, witnesses, photographs, media reports and organizations familiar with the cases, there is a well-founded suspicion that police officers deeply violated their legal powers, abused their position in order to torture, humiliate and push back refugees, including children. In addition to inflicting bodily injuries, material damage, suffering and mental pain, they threatened victims' lives using violence that reached as far as hitting people's heads with the door of a police vehicle and shooting at them.
The very minimum that we, as a society, expect from the police is - to respect the law. Numerous local and international organizations have been reporting on violent push backs for almost four years. Moreover, in 2019 police officers themselves testified and brought to the attention of the Ombudswoman that they received instructions and were forced to carry out illegal orders from their superiors. The allegations of systematic violations of our laws and several criminal offences are required to be investigated by the State's Attorney office.
Because of all this, the Centre for Peace Studies asks the State Attorney's Office to conduct an effective investigation, in order for the perpetrators of these crimes to be sanctioned. In this way, they will not only fulfil their legal duty but also show care for the lives and dignity of refugees and other migrants. Finally, the CPS urges police officers who care about the protection of human lives to refuse to carry out illegal orders and report them, in order to protect their rights and the rights of their colleagues.

JComms has secured a series of leading awards and accreditations as it marks a major milestone.
The company won five awards at the CIPR PRide Awards this month – four Gold and one Silver.
It also recently secured the Investors in People (IIP) accreditation and has been accredited by the Good Business Charter (GBC) which encourages and recognises responsible business practices in areas including the environment, employees, customers and suppliers.
This comes as JComms marks nearly half a century in business during 2021, having been founded in 1976.
The company provides services including consumer and corporate PR, digital content, video production and event management.
In 2020, JComms was named UK Outstanding Small Consultancy by the CIPR (Chartered Institute of Public Relations). In 2019, the company was named Outstanding NI Consultancy at the CIPR PRide Awards.
The Gold awards that JComms won at the 2021 CIPR PRide Awards are for Best Use of Content, Best Covid Response, Best Education Campaign, and Arts, Sport, Culture or Entertainment campaign. The Silver Award was for Regional Campaign of the Year.
Commenting on JComms securing the Investors in People accreditation for the third time, Paul Devoy, CEO of IIP, said: "We'd like to congratulate JComms. Being accredited with We Invest in People is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places JComms in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people."
Judges of the CIPR PRide Awards said:
Best Use of Content, Ulster Bank
This campaign was a real favourite amongst the judging panel. Not only was the creative execution utterly brilliant, and the wraparound plan to drive social reach and media coverage solid, but the judges were particularly impressed by the level of insights used – to both identify the target audience, and inform influencer selection, to ensure both the messaging and content landed as intended. A great campaign, and a richly deserved Gold award winner.
Best Covid Response, #fightback
#fightback encapsulates everything this category was created for. Simple, effective messaging, bold proactivity and useful content delivered when it was needed most. The fact that two competing agencies banded together for the campaign embodies all the good that came out of 2020.
Best Education Campaign, Ulster Wildlife
At a time when the great outdoors have played such a key role in keeping people's spirits high, it was great to read about the important work that Ulster Wildlife are doing to connect young people with nature. The judges were impressed by the clarity of what this campaign set out to do, namely influence key political decision-makers, and by the robust plan to get there. The use of authentic visual storytelling, coupled with solid media relations and public affairs, makes this a worthy recipient of the Gold award in this category.
Arts, Culture, Sport or Entertainment, Belfast Photo Festival
A hard-working creative campaign that left no stone unturned to find engagement and impact.

Paradise on Earth
Religious Conceptions Of Paradise, Representations In Western Culture, Islamic Art And Literature, East Asia
The word paradise develops in Western languages from the Greek word paradeisos, the old Persian word pairidaeza, and the modern Arabic and Persian firdaus, all of which originally denoted a walled garden. In the arid environment of the Near East, a garden must be carefully and laboriously constructed with watercourses for irrigation, and its precious flowers and fruits protected from theft by a surrounding wall. The conflation of this term for a type of garden built and cultivated in the Near East with religious imagery of heaven, especially in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, has given the term a far more complex set of meanings, which have come to permeate the cultures of the Christian West and the Islamic world, creating a metaphoric bridge between divine paradise and paradise on earth.
In these cultures the concept of paradise developed in two related levels. The first was scriptural and thus a part of religious belief: paradise is either a place for life after death—often serving as a more tangible and concrete substitute for the vaguer term heaven—or the setting for a primal, idealized epoch in human history: the Garden of Eden. The second way in which the concept developed was through the actual physical depiction or recreation of the religious image of paradise on earth, either in the form of actual gardens or through the use of certain types of garden imagery—with or without religious connotations—in music, literature, and the visual arts.

Inspirational Monday Memes
I have always wanted my company to stay connected with people on social media, but we didn't want to promote our business in such an aggressive mode if we posted something three times a week.
We thought people would get overloaded by AZ-BIO promoting ourselves so much.
We got together with John Tarr, our graphic designer, and we came up with the idea of posting informative, AZ-BIO business-related posts on, Wednesdays.
Then we would have him design inspirational memes for Mondays and Fridays.
We decided to make the first day of the workweek, Inspirational Monday.
That is what this blog today is about.
The last day of the workweek will be Leadership Fridays.
That will be on a second blog post that we will make in the next few weeks.
We believe that people need an emotional lift throughout the week and do not need advertisements in their faces all the time.
Our graphic designer finds images from his library of photographs that he has taken (he was a professional photographer at one time) or he uses a photo stock agency to find appropriate images to go along with the quotes and saying that he uses.
John then places our small logo somewhere on the bottom of the meme, so people know it came from AZ-BIO.
We try mixing the memes up with humorous themes as well as serious ones to get a cross-section of feelings.
John uses an Adobe product called Illustrator to design these memes.
We post these memes to our Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts using a social media tool called Hootsuite.
Hootsuite allows us to schedule all our social media at once to each of the different platforms on different days and times that we want them to be posted.
Inspirational Monday Memes
We hope these graphics help to uplift your spirits throughout the week and you enjoy the message that they convey.
Come and follows us on one or all three of our social media accounts.
We have have a great number of articles on what we do here at AZ-BIO Blogs

Postpartum Boudoir Photography: Embrace your post-baby body
Accepting your postpartum body is a challenge for most women. It's gone through many changes to accommodate your growing baby and bring it into the world. Hormonal fluctuations, stretch marks, loose skin, and other imperfections are completely natural after pregnancy and delivery, but they can seriously undermine your confidence. Add to this the sleepless nights and the many new responsibilities you're adjusting to, and it's probably safe to say that you feel far removed from your pre-motherhood self.
Be gentle on yourself and give your body enough time to heal. It made a whole new person, after all! To help you reconnect with your body and feel like yourself again, consider booking a boudoir photo shoot in Verdi to celebrate your post pregnancy. This empowering experience can be crucial in re-learning how to love your body after you've had your bundle of joy.
Why should you boudoir photo shoot after having a baby?
It's natural to have insecurities, especially at such an overwhelming time in your life. Motherhood brings many changes, but it also shows us women just how amazing, tough, and resilient we are. I believe that every woman's strength and beauty should be celebrated. Here's how boudoir photography can help you embrace your postpartum figure and feel comfortable in your skin again.
Improve your self-image
Although stripping down to your lingerie and getting in front of a camera can be scary for new moms, seeing yourself from a different perspective is really worth it. It can shed new light on your body and help you rediscover your sex appeal. There's no need to wait until you get back in shape. Boudoir photography can actually help you let go of the pressure to bounce back.
Acknowledge how powerful you are
Giving birth to your little one is one of the biggest joys and achievements of your life. Pulling that off takes a strong, healthy body, and you've got it! So why be so hard on yourself? Celebrities make it seem so effortless, but remember they have teams of nannies, dietitians, and personal trainers helping them out.
You don't have to be a certain shape or size to enjoy the boudoir experience. No matter what season of life you are in – feeling beautiful and loved is so important for your mental and emotional health.
Take a break from mom duties
Has it been months since you last had your hair and makeup done? For most moms, this is the reality of life with a newborn. You deserve to take a day off and get some respite from the endless cycle of breastfeeding and changing diapers. Change out of your slouchy sweatpants and feel sexy again.
Where can I book a boudoir photo shoot in Reno, NV?
Boudoir photography is a beautiful reminder of how far you've come in life. When you choose to book a session with me – you are choosing to rediscover your femininity – to truly understand what self love is. Open your heart up to this experience and learn what it's like to love ALL of yourself.
Learn more about the magic of boudoir photography and get in touch with me today to schedule your appointment.

We really enjoyed this tour. The driver (in the morning and in the evening - Sorry we did not understand his name, he had long blond hair) was amazing and interesting, everyone gave him a round of applause. He first stopped to let us take pictures of Uluru and a salt lake - views were great ! Another guide took us to Kata Tjuta where we walked a bit into Walpa Gorge. After that we went to Uluru where we saw caves and a water hole and learnt a lot about Aboriginal culture. In the evening we went to the sunset lookup where we had a barbecue dinner and were able to see Uluru changing color at sunset. We were disappointed about two things though, first one being that coach seats had not been allocated upon booking. Some families having been picked up first separated in order to monopolise window seats. As a result, my mother and I could not seat together, so she missed a lot of the commentaries as she does not speak English fluently. Another thing was the limited number of minutes left at each spot. We could not walk too far into Walpa Gorge, a guided walk would have been appreciated. Same thing at Uluru caves, where after the guided walk, the guide left us the option to go see two other caves on our own. We chose to go back to the coach and almost got lost because the guide had moved it to go wait near the optional caves. In general, very good tour with stunning views of the red sand, Uluru, Kata Tjuta and a great driver. Pick-up and drop-off at the hotel were very appreciated. Type of visit : family (adults)
perfectly organised. picked up on time, two drivers tour guides were excellent in terms of service courtesy and helpful attitude. quality and spacing out of food drinks were excellent and of perfect. knowledge of guides was based on facts and science. finally BBQ was the cream. driving was like travelling with Qantas for safety. hands off to you.
It was a full day but well worth it. Plenty of good food supplied and good value for money. Our guide and driver (lath and Gav) were both knowledgeable, helpful and courteous to passengers, I did this trip by myself when younger, but it is much better to do it by day tour because you can relax, and enjoy the day without stress. The weather was perfect.
A really long, but awesome trip. Saw everything you expected, with great commentary by the two guide/drivers. Extra bonus on the return of stopping in the middle of the desert on a moonless night to see an awesome star show.
If you have limited time and what theUluru experience this is the tour for you. Tony and Gavin did a fantastic job of handling all the aspects of the tour and very very informative and interesting about the local culture. Be rested when you take the tour as it really is a full 18 hour day.
Booked through Viator and provided by Emu Run Experience. Long day but worth it for a once in a lifetime experience! The bus was large, very comfortable and had a toilet room on board!. Well run tour with plenty of bathroom stops along the way. Breakfast was about 2 hours after tour start at a small café and was very good variety. Lunch was sandwiches on board the bus and not so great chicken wrap with cucumbers and carrots but not much taste. Our guides were great at keeping us informed and building the excitement to spot Uluru. Also very good at providing history and other site related information. Fair amount of walking on this tour and a lot of it in red sand so recommend not wearing shoes you want to keep clean. Also a bit chilly in early July, especially in the evening at the BBQ. BBQ dinner appeared to be pre-cooked steaks and sausages re-heated on the grill as well as a variety of salads lettuce salad, pasta salad, potato salad, etc.. Drinks were champagne and some orange juice. All in all the crew did a fantastic job given the size of the group and the time constraints of this tour.
Longest day trip ever from 6.00am to 01.00am next morning. The Tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and they really made it a good experience. The flies at Uluru are a real nuisance, so take a face net although even that is annoying. Overall, glad we went but very tiring.

Everything Changes?
Last week we visited Lynn's Grandmother (Mum Mum) for her 100th birthday party. She is really quite amazing. She is remarkably healthy, remarkably sharp. You don't want to get into a discussion on politics with her because you will lose. She has lived with Lynn's aunt and uncle for as long as I've known her and up until a year ago, her apartment was on the third floor! She was born in Norway and is Norwegian through and through. In fact my one saving grace when I first started dating Lynn was that my grandfather was born in Norway.
While I was at her birthday party, I was trying to imagine all the changes that she has lived through.
She was born in 1912. That year also saw the births of Ark Linkletter, Francis Schaeffer, Eva Braun, Lady Bird Johnson, Perry Como, and Wernher Von Braun, which gives some sense of the history through which she lived.
- The year she was born, the last Chinese Dynasty ended and the People's Republic of China begin.
- The year she was born, New Mexico was admitted to the Union as the 47th state and Arizona soon followed as #48.
- The year she was born was the first time a man parachuted out of a plane, not coincidentally it was also the first time a man parachuted off the Statue of Liberty. In 1912 the Titanic Sunk. In 1912 there was no Cy Young winner, because Cy Young had just retired.
- She was a teenager before you could listen to music on the radio. And she was already driving when the first red and green traffic lights were installed in NYC. Imagine a time when green did not mean go.
- She saw a man named Hitler come to power in 1933 and twelve years later, after some 17 million soldiers and 60 million civilians, (including 6 million Jews) had died, she watched the Berlin Wall go up…and come back down.
- She saw the birth of rock-n-roll music and the discovery of Elvis, though I'm not sure she was a fan of either. She can remember a time before penicillin and before Hiroshima. She went from Kitty Hawk to the moon; from stories around the fireplace to facebook.
- When she was a teenager, a chip was something you found dried in the cow pasture, hardware was a store, and software wasn't even a word. When she learned to drive, you could buy a brand new Chevy Coupe with leather upholstery and specially designed windows for about $600, but who could afford one, which was a pity because gas was only about 11 cents a gallon.
So many changes, sometimes it seems like the only thing that never changes is the fact that everything changes. Which made me pause to ponder the things that do not change, that never will change, at least not on this side of death; for example, the love of God, the character of God, the value of prayer, the importance of relationships, the value of people, the joy that comes when we see God@work around us, the Kingdom, the Gospel. Stuff like that.
Every time we talk to Mum Mum, a certain liturgy is followed. We say, "How are you Mum Mum?" She says, "Oh not so good. I thought I would be dead by now. I'm not sure why God is waiting so long." Then we say, "I think it's because He wants you to keep praying for your family." And I would guess that there are only a handful of people who have prayed for me more the last 30 years.
I like change, but the only way to thrive through times of change is to be reminded of and invested in those things that never change. Mum Mum is invested in those things that never change, that's why she prays and why she is eager to be home in heaven.
So where is your life truly invested?

The Marauders have announced that outfielder Josh Bell and pitcher Orlando Castro have made the FSL All-Star Game, which will be held June 14 at McKechnie Field.
Bell has hit .308/.354/.466 with five home runs so far this season, and it's been a nice progression for a top prospect who posted roughly similar numbers at West Virginia last year. Castro, meanwhile, has posted a 2.77 ERA with 45 strikeouts and eight walks in 61 2/3 innings. They're definitely the most deserving All-Stars on the team -- much of the offense has struggled, and Castro has clearly been their most effective starting pitcher. (Chad Kuhl, Jason Creasy and Tyler Glasnow all have interesting lines as well, even though Glasnow has walked far too many batters.) As a small lefty with underwhelming stuff, though, Castro isn't much of a prospect, or at least he won't be until he proves he can succeed against more advanced competition.

Halsey embodies the millennial generation
November 3, 2015
Ashley Frangipane is anything but your typical 21-year old. She went from opening for the indie-pop band Imagine Dragons to headlining her own international tour, to nearly selling out Madison Square Garden in under a year.
Going by the stage name Halsey, the alternative-pop artist has taken the world by storm, currently holding the title of America's second best-selling album even two months after it's release.
Halsey stopped in Chicago, selling out two nights at The Vic on Oct. 28 and 29.
I arrived at the show only to wait in a line extending four blocks from the theater. Once inside, I was able to see the dynamic of the crowd. I expected to be surrounded by mobs of teenage girls, but to my surprise there was a diversity to the people seated around me. Behind me was a couple in their late 20s on a date, to my left was a row of 30 year olds, and at one point a 5-year-old walked past me.
That being said, the show was in no way appropriate for someone of such a young age. Halsey loves her profanity, adding to her badass persona. Along with explicit language, she took the stage with nothing but a bra and harem pants for the majority of the show, only later changing into an even more risqué bodysuit.
The 15-song setlist had a flow so graceful that songs passed by much faster than seemed to make sense. Halsey started with a bonus track, which is unheard of. Still, she couldn't have picked a better starting point. From there, track intensity grew for the first seven songs. From the eighth on, the mood became mellow until the finale song, "New Americana."
Chances are, whether you have heard of Halsey or not, you have heard the song, shocking listeners with the lyrics "We are the New Americana, high on legal marijuana, raised on Biggie and Nirvana, we are the new Americana."
This song has a much deeper meaning than the lyrics will allow with little thought. It stems from issues of the millennial generation like gender, sex and racial equality. Halsey, both mixed-gender and bisexual, has become the face of these issues, and reminiscent of that, I have never seen such a cult-like response to an artist's concert interlude.
Halsey introduced this song as something that meant everything to her based on what she has accomplished as an individual. She amounts it to the support of her fans, admitting that she is an underground name and has gotten her exposure to fame with minimal publicity. She turned the conversation into a plea for our generation to stand up and fight for important issues. The response to this message was overwhelming to the audience, sparking louder cheers than any other point in the night. The energy rose in the theater and I could physically feel motivation and self-worth rising to new heights in everyone around me.
Keeping this attitude will not only skyrocket Halsey's career, but will very quickly pin her as a very influential voice of social inequalities and our generation as a whole.
Halsey displayed an entertaining set, interacting as much as she could with the audience. The small stage was the right size for the strutting, jumping and back bending she performed throughout each song. She seemed to fill the space too perfectly. It has one wondering how she will adapt to an 18,200-seat stadium as opposed to a 1,300 capacity room off the beaten path in a city college neighborhood.
All that I can say for sure is that Halsey's brutally honest songs have won over the hearts of people all over the world, and will continue to do so. There is no doubt the girl will be able to sell out arenas around the world within the coming years, which makes her promise to always return to her favorite cities and her favorite small venues so much sweeter.
You can listen to Halsey's debut album Badlands on our Courier Spotify.

Notes About OS Compatibility
In order to leverage the latest operating system features and technologies, Lightroom 6 requires Mac OS X 10.8 or above, or a 64 bit version of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Focusing on more modern operating systems and architectures allowed Adobe engineers to spend more time adding functionality requested by users, including additional advanced imaging features and improving general application performance.
If you are on Mac OS X 10.7, or a 32 bit version of Windows, you will continue to be able to install and run Lightroom 5 and use Lightroom mobile. However, you will not be able to install Lightroom 6 until you upgrade to a supported operating system.
If you are currently running Mac OS X 10.7, Apple offers a free upgrade (here) to a more current operating system. For Windows users, Microsoft has a how-to reference (here) to help you determine whether you are running a 32 or 64 bit version of Windows.

The Shell Shield Collection
Our shell shields provide a range of different size protection products that can be used as personal protection or together for Zone protection. Our latest unique technology in them is extremely effective against the ever-increasing radiation from electromagnetic fields. They are also effectively used to balance all unbalanced/negative energy. The three different size shell shields give you the versatility that is needed in this technological world.
Each stone has been modelled on real shells, cast in pewter with our unique, tried and extensively tested technology has also been embedded scalar waves in the healing solfeggio frequencies.
Shells have a special quality for moving energy which makes the way that they create a harmonizing protective field that is particularly appealing to children and those that are energy sensitive. Because of their shape they are tactile and easy to carry around.
If you want to own or give a gift that looks more like a piece of natural art than EMF protection, then a Shell Shield is perfect. It comes packaged in a velvet gift bag. See our discounts on multi-buys which makes giving so much cheaper.
All Life Energy designs Ltd products are individually made in New Zealand, and are not factory produced, so each item is as unique as we are. Care went into the production of each one. They are sent out with love.
Small Shell Shield
This is the smallest of the Shell Shields and can easily be carried anywhere. Despite its size 4.5cm x 4cm (appox 2"), the small Shell Shield is powerful enough to give you 14 meters' (approximately 15 yards) protection from all EMF and unbalanced energy. It makes a great little gift for kids and adults. What better gift for a newborn than protection? See our discounts on multi-buys.
Medium Shell Shield
This Shell Shield which is 6.5cm X 6.5cm (2.5") produces a harmonizing and protective field of 20 meters' (approximately 22 yards). That is more than adequate for your own personal space at home or work. At it is perfect for keeping under your pillow or on the bedside table if you are struggle with getting a good night's sleep. It also makes for a wonderful relaxation and meditation tool.
Large Double Shell Shield
This may look like our original Negater Shell but with the latest Life Energy technology and more crystals than any of our other products it will cope with today's increased levels of radiation – easily. At 6.5cm x 6.5cm (2.5") x 3cm (1.5") it looks like a exclusive ornament, but don't be fooled it is capable of protecting and harmonizing a 28 meters (approximately 30.5 yards) radius. Beautiful and tactile you won't want to let it out of your sight.
What are the advantages of choosing Shell shields?
The pressures of modern living demands versatility. In our busy lives we need a simple all-encompassing solution to the stress EMF radiation causes to our wellbeing. The Shell Shields are easy to carry between home, work, and other activities. They are great for kids to carry in school bags and for babies to have safely tucked into seats, cots, and strollers. Placed together or separately they create a safe space to work, sleep or play.
At the end of a full-on day holding a Shell Shield balances your personal energy field, is calming and gets you into a relaxed state before retiring to bed.
Those that are awake and aware about the dangers of EMF exposure can sometimes be challenged, even ridiculed by those that don't acknowledge its existence. This can be tough to cope with but with a Shell shield you don't have to justify anything – they don't look as if they have any purpose other than being fascinatingly beautiful just like natural shells on a beach.
If the Shell Shield seems too good to be true, then try them for yourself. Our straightforward money back guarantee means that you don't have to take our word for it. They are a one-off cost, maintenance free, unique, proven solution for electromagnetic radiation and all unbalanced energy.
How to cope with Night Terrors.
Night terrors are surprisingly common, although they often go undetected, or get mistaken as nightmares. It is an extremely distressing condition, affecting adults as well as children. Kids love Shell Shields because their shape is familiar and in no way intimidating. They enjoy holding them and will happily have them beside their bed or under their pillow if it is safe to do so and they will not put it in their mouths.
Night terrors are distressing and relentless. The feeling of helplessness for parents unable to help their little ones is agonizing. Shell Shields brings children and parents peace of mind and peaceful sleep and at Life Energy Solutions we have a 99% success rate overcoming night terrors.

Why is it difficult to get a good night's sleep?
Insomnia is up to epidemic proportions now. Why? EMF robs the body of the hormone Melatonin, which is essential for maintaining your body's circadian rhythm, as well as protecting against Cancer and other illness. You cant sleep without the adequate production of Melatonin, which the body does only when it is dark and EMF fools the pineal gland into believing that it is perpetual daylight.
Taking common sense precautions to limit the amount of EMF exposure at night is sensible but not enough as there are EMF sources beyond our control, like the neighbour's Wi-Fi.
Having a Shell Shield beside the bed will keep your body shielded from EMF throughout the night, allowing you to achieve a full and resentful sleep. The proof is in the results, which is why we feel confident in offering our 30-day money back guarantee.

Meditation made easy.
Meditation is no longer considered as a spiritual practice only; it is now being advocated by health care professionals and mainstream doctors as a proven way to reduce stress and keep well. Meditation was around as early as 5,000 BCE, and now, more than 7,000 years later, its value is recognised in our fast-paced, modern lives. There is more need to be centred, calm and stress-free than ever before.
Meditation is not always easy, however. Switching off your mind and achieving a relaxed meditative state is quite a challenge. Holding a Shell Shield while sitting quietly brings balance and relaxation to the body and peace and stillness to the mind. This especially beneficial before going to bed for a good night's sleep, and first thing in the morning to bring clarity and harmony to the day ahead. Just ten minutes meditation can make all the difference to your life.
Because we care we, at Life Energy Solutions, have a 30-day money back guarantee to give you the opportunity to try our Shell Shields yourself. Not completely happy you get your money refunded – its as simple as that.
I suffered with, nightly pacing up and down, chronic insomnia for 10 years. The first night I placed your shell beside the bed I slept and this has been the case ever since. Thank you!
Hazel Stride, NZ
I live the United States in New Jersey. I wanted to tell you how wonderful I think your product is, as if you didn't already know. My teenager was having night terrors for quite some time. So I decided to search on the internet for something to help. I came across your website and read about your products. After reading your website, I noticed that we have a cell tower not far from our house and the amount of electronics in our home; I decided to purchase the Negater Shell. I have to say it is wonderful – he has not had a night terror in approximately 7 months. He is getting restful sleep and so am I, since I don't have to worry about him waking.
Since, I have purchased the pe bal for our home and the lovely pe bal key chain. I guess I am writing mostly to thank you. So THANK YOU!! Very Satisfied Customer.

Remember back in February when President Trump met with dozens of Presidents from historically Black colleges and universities where he signed an executive order benefiting the institutions. It's possible things may have changed since then.
A recent statement released by the White House seems to infer federally-backed funding for HBCUs is unconstitutional based on racial discrimination.
The statement says, "Historically Black College and University Capital Financing Program" will be treated "in a manner consistent with the requirement to afford equal protection of the laws under the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment."
This statement was a major blow for White House representatives and the Department of Education who were working on strengthening the relationship with HBCUs.
"The timing of this was crazy … It totally blindsided the White House domestic policy staff and all of the key players on this issue, and it subsequently blindsided the HBCU community," said a source to BuzzFeed who has knowledge of the situation.
"It was a tone-deaf statement literally attacking not just HBCUs but Native Americans."
Even with causing a ripple effect within the HBCU community, President Trump says he remains committed to helping HBCUs flourish.
"The statement that accompanied my signing of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, sets forth my intention to spend the funds it appropriates, including the funds for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), consistently with my responsibilities under the Constitution. It does not affect my unwavering support for HBCUs and their critical educational missions," said the President.
It should be noted one of President Trump's trusted advisers, Omarosa Manigault, is a graduate of Howard University. We hope Black colleges get the proper funding under this new administration.

International Military Education and Training
International Military Education and Training (IMET) is a U.S. Defense Department group that provides military training on a grant basis to students from allied countries. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which provides training for recipients of US military training aid, says the International Military Education and Training program "is a low cost, key funding component of U.S. security assistance that provides training on a grant basis to students from allied and friendly nations. Authority for the IMET program is found pursuant to Chapter 5, part II, Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) 1961. Funding is appropriated from the International Affairs budget of the Department of State. [1]
"International Military Education and Training (IMET) pays for the training or education of foreign military and a limited number of civilian personnel. IMET grants are given to foreign governments, which choose the courses their personnel will attend.
"IMET funding for Latin America was used to send students to approximately 150 U.S. military training institutions throughout the United States. A wide variety of courses for U.S. personnel – some 2,000, including topics ranging from counterintelligence to helicopter repair to military justice systems – qualify for IMET funding. On occasion, IMET-funded programs are conducted in the recipient country by mobile education and training teams, U.S. instructors who go to foreign countries to teach courses to groups of students in their native language.
"Created in 1976, IMET is often considered to be the 'traditional' U.S. military training program. Funded though the foreign aid appropriations process, IMET is overseen by the State Department and implemented by the Defense Department.
"There has been a steady increase in IMET funding in recent years, resulting from a decision by Congress to enhance this program. In 2001, funding for IMET worldwide was $55 million. The President's budget request for 2003 is for $80 million. The number of Latin Americans trained through IMET went from 2,601 in 2001 to a projected 3,168 in 2003. The President's budget request for 2003 explains, 'Increases over FY 2002 levels ... reflect overall U.S. policy interests of military alliance and coalition building as well as buttressing the war on terrorism.'" [2]
Chapter 5 of Part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (P.L. 87-195), as amended, authorizes the IMET program to provide military education and training to foreign military and civilian personnel.
According to Section 541 of the FAA, IMET-funded training is intended:
- To encourage effective and mutually beneficial relations and increased understanding between the United States and foreign countries in furtherance of the goals of international peace and security;
- To improve the ability of participating foreign countries to utilize their resources, including defense articles and defense services obtained by them from the United States, with maximum effectiveness, thereby contributing to greater self-reliance by such countries; and
- To increase the awareness of nationals of foreign countries participating in such activities of basic issues involving internationally recognized human rights.

a top hat story
Today I took a pair of scissors to cut up a Hermès scarf, to produce a lining for a bespoke Hat. My client was after a Top Hat - something grand, unique and personalised. With this concept and a quick drawing I set about making a toile from straw for him to try on. The straw version of the hat was then sent to the block-maker to have it made from timber. This process took a couple of weeks. The model hat is then made using the custom block, with many layers making up the sleek shape, finished with a covering of fine black satin. The inside is lined with a head-ribbon and completed with a very special 'rabbit in the hat' lining. Et Voila! A smile and nod from the client, another happy ending.

After the tragic events of Sept. 11, the United States has waged a near-constant war against terrorist organizations in the Middle East. Now, 13 years later, a new enemy has emerged in the so-called "War on Terror." In a speech held Sept. 10, President Barack Obama seems poised to face this new challenge head-on.
"Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy," Obama said during his speech. "Moreover, I have made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are. That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven."
The Islamic State group or ISG (otherwise known as ISIS or ISIL) has already taken control of several key cities in Iraq and Syria including Mosul, a key intersection of routes leading to Turkey and Syria from Iraq, as well as the Iraqi city of Fallujah, according to a map published by the New York Times. The total area controlled by ISG extends from the Syrian-Turkish border to the area around Fallujah, approximately 44 miles away from the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
Currently operating out of the Syrian city of Raqqa, ISG took advantage of the destabilization caused by the Syrian civil war, which began in 2011. At that time Brookhaven economics student, Nour (last name witheld by his request, out of respect for his safety abroad) was living in a small city outside of the Syrian capital of Damascus.
"I miss family; I don't miss home at all," Nour said. "The country is just – not a country. It's a very bad place." Nour's family left Syria after his mother's request for American citizenship was granted, 22 years after her father originally filed the required documents. Violence in Syria has claimed close to 200,000 people, including more than 8,000 children, according to a CNN article from May 2014. These figures include members of Nour's family.
"My aunt, she passed away about three and a half years ago; she had four daughters," Nour said. "[Syrian government forces] came into her house. They raped all four of them, cut their heads off in front of her. She had a heart attack and passed away. This is just one of many stories."
Despite initial clashes between rebel Syrians and government forces, in-fighting between moderate and radical rebel factions has divided the opposition of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, according to an article written by Zach Beauchamp for vox.com. The threat represented by ISG has effectively drawn attention away from al-Assad, despite having turned over 11 percent of Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles by the Feb. 5 deadline to turn over all chemical weapons, according to CNN.
"Honestly, I loved the way it was before anything happened," Nour said. "We were living a normal life. It was a very simple life, like here basically."
Explaining the threat
"You can think of these guys as a mafia … let's bring it closer to home, a narco-terror type organization," Brookhaven government professor Ahad Hayaud-Din said. "MS-13 will chop your arm off with a machete if you won't join. These guys will do something worse to you."
The brutality of ISG has been demonstrated by the ritual beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff as well as the apparent beheading of British aid worker David Haines. In the videos depicting Foley and Sotloff's deaths, ISG blames the targeting of civilians on America's current air offensive against insurgents.
President Obama's speech promised an expanded aerial campaign against ISG, as well as increased American involvement in rallying other Middle Eastern countries as a united front.
ISG began its rise to power after the death of Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, who became the leader of the al-Qaeda affiliate in Iraq in 2004, according to an article written by Bobby Ghosh for The Atlantic. Under the leadership of al- Baghdadi, the burgeoning extremist group funded suicide bombings and assassinations in the region through strong-arm tactics such as extortion and bank robberies, according to an article written by Tim Lister for CNN.
In June 2006, American forces killed al-Zarqawi. With the help of moderate tribal leaders, the al-Qaeda force in Iraq was nearly eradicated, according to Lister's article. The remnants of the organization re-branded themselves as the Islamic State in Iraq soon after. In the face of systematic exclusion of Sunnis by the government under former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the group capitalized on Sunni dissent to bolster its ranks.
For example, one factor that contributed to the growth of the ISG during this period was the disbanding of militia groups such as The Sons of Iraq, which assisted American forces during the Iraq War, according to Ghosh's article for The Atlantic. These groups were largely made up of Sunni volunteers who had formerly served in the Iraqi military before its dissolution by President George W. Bush in 2003.
"The Bush administration disbanded the Iraqi military after the fall of Saddam [Hussein], and those officers are unaccounted for," Hayaud-Din said. "Those guys became the rebels against the Assad regime, and they became a bunch of different rival factions that started fighting amongst themselves, and then they became [ISG]."
Ultimately, ISG's goal is to establish a new Islamic state funded on a Wahhabist interpretation of Islamic religious law, Hayaud-Din said. Wahhabism is an ultra-orthodox form of Sunni Islam, which requires strict observance of Sharia law.
"They want to experience the Middle East as it was under the life of the prophet Mohammad; that's their stated intention," Hayaud-Din said, "to completely remove modernity from their lifestyle."
As ISG captures more cities and towns, it subjugates civilians to Wahhabist doctrine, captures military resources left behind by retreating Iraqi security forces and uses prisons as recruiting centers. This is the strategy ISG is currently employing in the Middle East, according to Lister.
Possible Solutions
Despite the ISG's performance to date, however, it is far from invincible. "[ISG] is so radical that it has caused moderate Sunnis in the Gulf States to denounce their version of Islam," Hayaud-Din said. "It's got the Shias against them, it's got Turkey against them … the United States [is] against them. This may be the one thing that actually unites everybody else."
While the capture of Mosul has been a major victory for ISG, providing both resources and an important strategic crossroads, it also comes with risks.
According to Lister's article, by taking Mosul, ISG will enter into the Kurdish sphere of influence, which as of press date has already led to coordinated attacks between American air units in northern Iraq and the area surrounding Baghdad, as well as Kurdish forces pressing into the plains surrounding Mosul.
"The Kurds are a real serious problem, and I don't mean to say that in way that sounds like I'm saying they are a problem, but to geo-strategic thinkers they're a problem," Hayaud-Din said. "They have oil land, they have oil rights, and they compromise northern Iraq, a big swath of it. They are not ethnically related to the Sunnis on the left of the map or the Shia on the right of the map."
The Kurdish people are a self-governing ethnic group living on territory that covers a large portion of land extending from eastern Turkey through parts of western Iran.
According to an article from iraqnews.net, the Kurdistan Regional Government seized two oil fields in northern Iraq during the chaos of ISG's advance across the Syrian border in June 2014.
"Part of [the Kurdish territory] is in Turkey," Hayaud- Din said. "Turkey is a NATO member. Turkey is on its path to EU membership. Turkey has U.S. arms transfers. Turkey is an important country … [and] most likely is the catalyst to some type of solution in the Middle East."
The best-case scenario would be for a Turkey-led NATO coalition to be formed, and along with support from the UN, both organizations would put pressure on the financers of ISG, Hayaud-Din said. Even if ISG refuses to back down, this would give the rest of the world's leaders the authority to engage in fully justified military action against ISG.
Nour, however, said he sees foreign intervention of any kind as a misstep. "It's not going to solve anything; it's just going to make it worse," he said. When the U.S. helped create a democracy in Iraq, the government became more stable, but the people are still killing each other, Nour explained.
The right choice, Nour said, is for the world to let all sides of this conflict fight on their own until one side wins. He said the Syrian civil war would have most likely concluded long ago if foreign intervention had not occurred.
However, in the age of globalization, turning a blind eye to this conflict seems unavoidable to some, including Hayaud-Din.
"It just seems like the bad news just keeps coming day after day after day, but there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and I'm hopeful that the NATO members will do the right thing and take action here and snuff out what clearly looks like it could threaten global stability," Hayaud-Din said. "If these guys move to the south and get to the oil ports, we're talking about economic crisis of unparalleled proportion."

Hurricane, a former Secret Service K9, was recently honored for putting his life on the line to protect others.
The retired K9 officer became the first dog to receive the Distinguished Service Medal, the first medal of its kind for military dogs in the United States.
For four years the Belgian Malinois worked alongside his handler, Marshall Mirarchi, guarding the White House. The partners worked together keeping the White House safe while Barack Obama was president.
In 2014, Hurricane put his life on the line when he attacked and took beating from someone who jumped a fence at the White House.
"Hurricane met him halfway on the lawn and engaged the individual and he and him got into an intense battle," Mirarchi said, according to WJLA.
Thanks to his training and titanium teeth, the K9 was able to subdue the intruder, however Hurricane sustained career-ending injuries.
"It was very hard to watch," Miraichi said. "I've never had to see my dog get hit like that, slammed like that, kicked, punched. He was cut up pretty good from the fight. I knew it was bad. Hurricane went in and did that so we didn't have to."
The attack forced Hurricane into early retirement. Without much thought, Miraichi adopted him.
In his retirement, Hurricane was recognized for his act of bravery. In 2019, the former K9 became the first international dog to receive the UK's Order of Merit from the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals.
The award, which is the animals' equivalent to the Royal Order of the British Empire (OBE), is given to animals that show extreme companionship and animal acts that showcase their relationship with humans.
In the time after the attack, Mirarchi and his girlfriend Lisa Woods also started a nonprofit to help other retired K9s.
Their nonprofit, K-9s Hurricane Heroes, provides subsidized veterinary care for retired law enforcement and military dogs so they are able to live a happy retired life.
Now, nearly eight years after Hurricane's heroic act, he's still receiving accolades. He, along with six other dogs, was recently honored with the Distinguished Service Medal, the first of its kind and highest medal an animal can receive in the United States, from Animals in War and Peace.
Smoky, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier who was responsible for saving lives during WWII, was also honored with a medal during the ceremony.
Congratulations, Hurricane! I can't wait for more deserving animals to be honored.
Please share this story with friends and family to honor the animals that work hard every day to protect us.

[four_fifth] 2011 Silverthorn The Green Man Abundant green apple-freshness, bicuity undertones and a balanced, lingering finish. Though the history of South African sparkling wine dates to the late 1960's, Cap Classique came about as a classification in 1992.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --** Just 30 minutes into the 2013 season, Julius Thomas dwarfed his career statistics prior to that point.
After one catch for five yards in 2011 and 2012 combined, Thomas exploded against the Ravens for 97 yards and two touchdowns on four catches -- just in the first half. The career game was a preview of a career year to follow, but for Thomas, a Pro Bowl season wasn't good enough.
"By no standards was I my best in any aspect of the game," Thomas said after practice Wednesday. "That's what's really exciting about these offseason OTAs for me is I really get a chance to work on things and improve."
Improve on that season? Defenses will be shaking in their boots if Thomas can be a better player than the one who racked up 788 yards and 12 touchdowns in 14 games last season.
"I hold myself to a very high standard," he said. "I'm spending a lot of time going back and looking at last year's tape these last couple weeks and just seeing so many areas that I can improve in."
Last week, Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase said the offense, despite scoring at a record pace, left some points on the field in 2013. Thomas agrees with that assessment and sees room for improved execution in key situations.
But even if exceeding his production as a receiver last year is a tall order, Thomas is confident he hasn't approached his ceiling as a blocker in the run game. He called himself a "decent" blocker by the end of last season and is now "probably starting to get close to that above average range."
"[Tight Ends Coach Clancy Barone] always says, 'What makes you a good athlete in the receiving game, you've got to kind of fight that when you're run blocking,'" Thomas said. "Good blockers are usually slower guys. You're out there running around and your feet are getting tangled and you're moving too fast sometimes."
"So I think that I'm starting to learn the pace of blocking and that's helping me out a lot."
Developing the feel for blocking after moving from basketball to football takes time, and Thomas points out the latter also requires more work in the weight room. With one year of college football under his belt and two of his three pro seasons limited by injury, Thomas hasn't had the time most players do to develop.
"I always like to remind people it's tough to learn when you're going up against the best people in the world," he said. "They say 'Just go out there and block [defensive end] DeMarcus Ware.' Well, he's one of the best people in the world at not getting blocked."
Facing a player of Ware's caliber has motivated Thomas to take his game "to another level." At the same time, Thomas said Ware has been very helpful during OTAs, communicating and offering plenty of instruction on the field.
"His leadership and his assistance in helping me become a blocker is definitely going to pay off for me," Thomas said.
Thomas' focus on exceeding what was easily the best season by a Broncos tight end since Shannon Sharpe's time echoes the whole offense's lack of satisfaction with 2013's record-toppling campaign.
Even after unprecedented production, the team believes it can be better.
"We've seen the tape," Thomas said. "We've seen how much we left out there and like I said, I saw how much I left out there last year. And I think we have that motivation to go out there and even be better."
"None of us think we've achieved the most we can. We know that we can come back and even be a better offense. We've just have to push each other, stay motivated, stay together."

The System Restore has worked fine getting my FireWire working from the previous problems I had. It still isn't a proper hot-swappable eSata port, and I've no idea why (internet reports that it can be). However, HotSwap! is a neat app that can do it since the drive can be removed, just needs to have the cache cleared so there are no write errors. Just means I'll have to be a bit careful not having it turn off without disconnecting it!
I've also had time this week to enable comments on all the pages on my site, and now they're enabled by default on new ones I create. I'm inspired mainly by php.net's impressive comments (well, I say impressive, they're notable for being usually better at explaining things then the real documentation!). Might be useful in the future in any case.
Finally, my Gallery2 installation with WordPress WPG2 plugin is again messing up (note the two Gallery links in the left navigation) – ahhgg, but for a proper permanent link setup which actually worked so it was /gallery/v/XXX instead of /v/XXX links from thumbnails! This is a PITA, and I'll have to sort it sometime, or replace Gallery2 and WPG2 – which won't be a small task (meaning: re-uploading *everything*), but I think might be necessary (and would allow me to cull some of the less worthwhile pictures and setup better thumbnail sizes so not so much HDD space is used on my server account), or at least I need to hack it to work better.
I'm leaving it since I want to also investigate hacking WPG2 to do better thumbnail HTML/CSS – at the moment it sticks the image and link inside a

2 Responses to PTSD Should be looked at case by case
This is an all too true and sad occurrence. I am not a veteran, but my brother was in the Marine Corps, and he is no longer with us, not due to combat-related injuries. The MILITARY and USA needs to take care of their own - those who have given more than any of us can ever repay to them. More programs need to be available AT NO COST to any serviceman or woman that served FOR ANY amount of time. Military chaplains and veterans should be encouraged to become counselors for their fellow soldiers - if they choose to continue, training programs should be free. This way, there would be someone that could relate (or that vets feel they could relate to). Costs should be covered by reclaiming the funds so many of our politicians squandered.
I'm not sure about the health insurance offered to vets by the military but i felt like psychiatric healthcare should be covered by it and under that plan u should be able to see counselors who specialize in trauma.
