A commentary on
Mindfulness training for reducing anger, anxiety, and depression in fibromyalgia patients
by Amutio, A., Franco, C., Pérez-Fuentes, M. C., Gázquez, J. J., and Mercader, I. (2015). Front. Psychol. 5:1572. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01572
In their recent study, Amutio et al. (2015) aimed to "verify whether the application of a mindfulness-based training program was effective in modifying anger, anxiety, and depression levels" in women with fibromyalgia and "whether the changes achieved were maintained over time."
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, non-restorative sleep, fatigue, but also cognitive impairment (Tesio et al., 2015), mood disorder (Wolfe et al., 2010; Consoli et al., 2012) and emotional dysregulation disorders, such as alexithymia (Di Tella and Castelli, 2013; Martínez et al., 2015). Since FM has a severe negative impact on the patients' quality of life (Castelli et al., 2012; Segura-Jiménez et al., 2015) and causes severe disability in daily activities (Consoli et al., 2012; Schaefer et al., 2015), studies on the effectiveness of treatments, in particular psychotherapeutic ones (Castelnuovo, 2010), are crucial. The best approach seems to be the integration between pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments while engaging patients as active participants in the process (Clauw, 2014). Different psychotherapeutic approaches have been used and, currently, Mindfulness-Based Therapies (MBTs) are one of the most promising techniques.
Mindfulness can be described as bringing one's complete attention and awareness to the current experiences, including aversive ones, in a non-judgmental and accepting way (Kabat-Zinn, 1990). It is a valuable approach for learning new non-reactive models of responding to the emotional discomfort, through a process that enables thoughts and feelings to be experienced as subjective (instead of necessary) and transient (instead of permanent). Whereas, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) was originally developed as a psychological treatment for relapse prevention in recurrent depression (Segal et al., 2002), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) intervention was developed specifically to help people to manage pain and the stress associated with long-term conditions (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). By interrupting maladaptive automatic responses, mindfulness may prevent negative affective cascades and facilitate a greater awareness of available positive affective sources. This in turn may modulate subjective experience of pain and disability, enhancing general features of coping with distress and disability in everyday life (Ludwig and Kabat-Zinn, 2008).
A systematic meta-analysis of six MBSR trials for FM revealed short-term improvement of QoL and pain after MBSR, when compared to both usual care and active control interventions (Lauche et al., 2013). In their review on MBTs efficacy in the treatment of somatization disorders, Lakhan and Schofield (2013) concluded that, in FM patients, symptom severity improved after MBTs. More recently, another systematic review analyzed the effectiveness of MBTs in managing FM symptoms (Henke and Chur-Hansen, 2014). Even though the wide variation in reported outcome measures did not allow a direct comparison of results, the synthesis resulted in an overall positive evidence for the efficacy of MBTs. In particular, patients in the mindfulness groups reported an improvement in pain, sleep, or psychological distress (Henke and Chur-Hansen, 2014). These reviews underline the potential for MBTs to enhance self-management of FM symptoms, but they also recommend large-scale randomized controlled clinical trials in order to draw more definitive conclusion, especially for long-term effects.
Despite the relatively small sample size, the study of Amutio et al. (2015) has the methodological value of assessing the long-term effect of a mindfulness-based training program on a group of women with FM. What is more, this study could be considered promising in terms of achieved results, in particular with regards to anger reduction. The mindfulness intervention program implemented by Amutio et al. (2015) (2-h session for seven consecutive weeks) included the following characterizing elements: exercises originally used by Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness-related strategies used in acceptance and commitment therapy, explanations and discussions of the metaphors and exercises applied, tales taken from Zen philosophy and Vipassana meditation. The training aimed to "the re-education of conditioned and automatic ways of reacting" when faced with thoughts, emotions, and sensations. In this way, patients "learn how to break the habit of letting their thoughts, emotions, and sensations control them," learning to let thoughts flow and observing how they come and go without trying to change them (Amutio et al., 2015). Amutio and colleagues focused, in particular, on the evaluation of the efficacy of the mindfulness-based intervention in modifying anger, anxiety and depression levels. Previous studies had, in fact, showed the the ability to express emotion in FM patients was associated with a lower impact of fibromyalgia (Geenen et al., 2012) and that chronic angry emotional reactions, leading to pervasive interpersonal disruption and chronic sympathetic activation, are often maladaptive (Sayar et al., 2004).
The authors used a quasi-experimental design, comparing an experimental group (N = 20) and a waiting-list control group (N = 19). Furthermore, the authors performed a follow-up evaluation after 3 months (Amutio et al., 2015). After the mindfulness-based training, FM patients showed significant improvement in state anger, internal anger expression, internal control of anger, state anxiety and depression (Amutio et al., 2015). Furthermore, many of the benefits were maintained after the 3-months follow-up period, in particular those concerning depression, state anxiety, internal expression and control of anger. The improvements obtained in internal control and expression of anger are particularly important since the use of adaptive coping strategies to face emotional expression and control has been associated with lower impact of FM (Geenen et al., 2012). By means of the modification of the maladaptive strategies, MBTs could result not only in a better emotion regulation, but also in a global improvement of the FM syndrome.
Treatment guidelines for the management of FM symptoms emphasize the importance of patient education and self-care strategies, and all recommend integrating non-pharmacologic with pharmacologic treatment (Menzies, 2016). Amutio and colleagues highlighted the effectiveness of mindfulness not only for the treatment of anxiety and depression in FM syndrome, but also the feasibility of mindfulness-based intervention on anger. In addition the authors demonstrated that this beneficial effect keeps unchanged at long-term follow up. This last result seems to confirm that mindfulness training, altering the way mental processes and contents are experienced, does not limit itself to directly reduce pain intensity but, going further, it establishes a new mindful, accepting and long-lasting pain coping style.

Donald Trump and the Coming Fall of American Empire
Donald Trump and the Coming Fall of American Empire
proud to say that Jeremy Scahill has featured historian Alfred McCoy
and upcoming Dispatch book, 'In the Shadows of the American Century" in
his latest popu
lar podcast (and at the
Intercept). Do check out their interview and then pre-order a copy of
his must-read book (link below). Tom
"Even as President Donald Trump faces ever-intensifying investigations
into the alleged connections between his top aides and family members
and powerful Russian figures, he serves as commander in chief over a
U.S. military that is killing an astonishing and growing number of
civilians. Under Trump, the U.S. is re-escalating its war in
Afghanistan, expanding its operations in Iraq and Syria, conducting
covert raids in Somalia and Yemen, and openly facilitating the Saudi's
genocidal military destruction of Yemen.
"Meanwhile, China has quietly and rapidly expanded its influence without deploying its military on foreign soil.
"A new book by the famed historian Alfred McCoy predicts that China is
set to surpass the influence of the U.S. globally, both militarily and
economically, by the year 2030. At that point, McCoy asserts the United
States Empire as we know it will be no more. He sees the Trump
presidency as one of the clearest byproducts of the erosion of U.S.
global dominance, but not its root cause. At the same time, he also
believes Trump may accelerate the empire's decline.
"McCoy argues
that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was the beginning of the end. McCoy is
not some chicken little. He is a serious academic. And he has guts.
"During the Vietnam war, McCoy was ambushed by CIA-backed
paramilitaries as he investigated the swelling heroin trade. The CIA
tried to stop the publication of his now classic book, "The Politics of
Heroin." His phone was tapped, he was audited by the IRS and he was
investigated and spied on by the FBI. McCoy also wrote one of the
earliest and most prescient books on the post 9-11 CIA torture program
and he is one of the world's foremost experts on U.S. covert action. His
new book, which will be released in September, is called "In the
Shadows of the American Century: The Rise and Decline of U.S. Global
"The American Century, proclaimed so triumphantly at the
start of World War II, may already be tattered and fading by 2025 and,
except for the finger pointing, could be over by 2030," McCoy writes.
Imagining the real-life impact on the U.S. economy, McCoy offers a dark
"For the majority of Americans, the 2020s will
likely be remembered as a demoralizing decade of rising prices, stagnant
wages, and fading international competitiveness. After years of
swelling deficits fed by incessant warfare in distant lands, in 2030 the
U.S. dollar eventually loses its special status as the world's dominant
reserve currency.
Suddenly, there are punitive price
increases for American imports ranging from clothing to computers. And
the costs for all overseas activity surges as well, making travel for
both tourists and troops prohibitive. Unable to pay for swelling
deficits by selling now-devalued Treasury notes abroad, Washington is
finally forced to slash its bloated military budget. Under pressure at
home and abroad, its forces begin to pull back from hundreds of overseas
bases to a continental perimeter. Such a desperate move, however, comes
too late.
Faced with a fading superpower incapable of paying
its bills, China, India, Iran, Russia, and other powers provocatively
challenge U.S. dominion over the oceans, space, and cyberspace."
"Alfred McCoy is the Harrington professor of history at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of the now-classic book "The
Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade." His new
book, out in September, is "In the Shadows of the American Century: The
Rise and Decline of US Global Power."
"This week, I interviewed
McCoy for the Intercepted podcast. We broadcast an excerpt of the
interview on the podcast. Below is an edited and slightly condensed
version of the full interview. In this wide-ranging interview, we
discuss Trump and Russia, the history of CIA interference in elections
around the world, the Iran-Contra scandal, the CIA and the crack-cocaine
epidemic, U.S. proxy wars, narcotrafficking in Afghanistan, and much

It is primarily a battle of truth vs. a lie (John 8:44). It is also a battle for faith (Luke 22:31-32).

There are some cases in which a demon is called a "King of persia" (Daniel 10:13ff). But, even that could be a demon specializing in some ideology. So, I would agree.

The demon in her proclaimed Paul et al to be servants of the Lord, "who proclaim to you the way of salvation." What could be wrong with that? Except she kept it up ad nauseum, until Paul grew weary of it. Casting out her demon meant she couldn't earn her keepers any more money!

The corrupt officials of the church, concerning themselves not as much with salvation and eternity as with retaining power on Earth, but being afraid to put down the upstart movement through open violence for fear of the people (v.26). I am interested in these cases where the common people seem to be the tool that God uses in order to protect and foster His true church. Examples of this can be found several times in the Gospels that we just read as well, where the established church leaders wanted to put Jesus to death much earlier, but were afraid of the people's response if they did. The hasmonean revolt also started among the hasidim, the pious, faithful people. I wonder if this might not be a great argument for the Congregational form of church government, which also formed as a result of the Reformation. The common, humble people of God's church seem often to be more sensitive to His leading than those who are used to being in authority. Clearly, there are strong leaders needed as well, but they are chosen by the people rather than by a grand council of those who are used to making such decisions on everyone's email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-15007144.post-51833164112985605132009-06-12T10:25:18.764-07:002009-06-12T10:25:18.764-07:00Good stuff.

Interesting that no one dared to associate them, a bit like the mountain where God was that only Moses dared to ascend as the people hung back in fear of such a powerful God. They sent him up there as a sort of priest, but Peter states that as Christians we are a 'Kingdom of Priests, a Holy Nation'. That seems like how the young Peter-led church was too, but the requirement was that they not lie to God.

Was this church the ideal, to be emulated? It seems very similar to the oneness described by John in John 17 and in Revelation when he describes the temple, with each member as a pillar. I tend to think that marriage might be the only relationship that comes close to this kind of unity, but it would be awesome if the church today could somehow resemble firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-15007144.post-25411814604863496522009-06-12T08:18:53.422-07:002009-06-12T08:18:53.422-07:00This incident reminds one of the period when the c...This incident reminds one of the period when the children of Israel were in the wilderness and just entering the promised land (Korah, the man with the Midianite woman, and Achan are examples). It seems like God was not very tolerant of greed and deception then either, as though He did not want the heightened sense of unity among His people defiled by the presence of a tare among the wheat.

I agree that the particular sin seems to be less about the tithing issue, and more about deception..which we already know God hates from the passages about the 'shortened ephah' in Amos 8 and Micah 6: "Can I justify wicked scales and a bag of deceptive weights...so also I will make you sick, striking you down, desolating you because of your sins"

God certainly sent a message about His foundling Church, that the former guile of Jacob did not belong among firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-15007144.post-36883954912151606272009-05-08T13:03:00.000-07:002009-05-08T13:03:00.000-07:00This is a fascinating question.

I don't care about the bar fight, but always dwell on the separation between the Father and Son. I guess being apart from each other was something I could at least kind of get my mind around. But separation due to sin is so un-understandable; the perfection vs the failure. I don't know anything about perfection and can't really fathom holiness. I'll have to think about this some more.

The separation Jesus felt from God was on the cross because of the sin of ours he bore,resulting in his death. It was not necessarily ongoing while his body was in the grave.

Hebrews 2:14 & 1 John 3:8 tells us that Jesus destroyed the work of the devil through his life and death. That does not necessitate him going physically to hell and pounding him like they were in a bar fight.

I think the thing that makes the best sense of all the evidence is that Jesus died (was separated from God). Once he died he went to paradise, as did the thief. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 tells us this would be normal for believers, too.

Great questions.RevReavhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-15007144.post-70352727943439673532009-05-06T09:13:00.000-07:002009-05-06T09:13:00.000-07:00v43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, tod...v43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

Accord Between Teacher, Board Urged by Dr.Ade HARRISBURG, Mar. 0.--Dr. Les- cr K. Adc, superintendent ot Public nstruction, stated today that a co- ac-rative attitude and a spirit of .utual agreement between teachers nd school directors .ire characteris- c of the administration ot schools here the best interests of the boys nd girls of the community are given rst consideration. "The tcrmina- on oC a teacher's contract mny be or the betterment o£ the local school, r it may be for the betterment of he teacher," the superintendent said. 'If it can be dcflr.itcly shown that 10 local schools will be improved by elcasinfi the teacher, the contract, lould, if possible, be tcrmimited by ,utual agreement between teacher nd board. If the undesirable to.-irher ·ill not willingly relinquish his con- ract, however, then the legal pro- cdure for forcing a release should e followed. On the other hand, if a elcasce from contract is requested y the teacher because it will obr iously enable him to advance in his rofession, the board should endeavor reach a basis of mutual undcr- tanding whereby the contract may 10 set aside. "The school law sets up a definite procedure whereby a board of school directors mny, on short notice, force he dismissal of an incompetent cachcr. Tactful boards, however, find it possible in most instances to confer with such a teacher and ob- ,ajn a resignation without resorting ,o formal dismissal proceedings. "Likewise the law sets up a procedure by which a teacher may foicc a 'board to release him sixty days nftcr his resignation has been filed Here again it is preferable that th release be accomplished by conference and mutual agreement rather than by legal compulsion. If a capable teacher is rcndily obtainable fo replacing the one desiring release there is no good reason why tin board should insist upon all its prc rogattivcs and arbitrarily hold thi teacher the full sixty days. If it 1 really impossible for the teacher to be replaced, then, of course, a sense of loyalty and professional pride should induce the teacher to carry out his contract even at the sacrifice of a desirable promotion."

CREENSBURG, Mar. 9.--Roy C McKenna, Latrobe industrialist, Uni versity of Pittsburgh trustee and on of Westmoreland county's most prom incnt citizens, announced his cant! dacy for Republican nomination fo Congress.

NEW YORK, Mar. 9.--The common blush, practically discarded since sorority sisters discovered Frcush and found that the who!* business was just an inferiority complex, is going to be revived in an effort to keep American women from becoming a race of. gargoyles. A crusade to restore the blush to good standing was announced by Miss Grace Donahue, a red-haired lady from Chicago who described herself as a "professor of beauty-within and without." Miss Donahue said that after sev-- eral years of studying from both directions, she had decided that the trouble with the American, girl In spiritual hardening of the arteries, and she intends to save them even if she has to do it the hard way. 'Girls have stopped blushing," she said. "Most of them have forgotten how to blush. The result is that they never get any blood in their face, their skin fades and they become ugly." So she is forming a national association of "Blush of the Month" clubs, the 'only requirement for which is a blush. Nothing will bo barred. The girls can tell jokes, recite ditties, or look at pictures o£ Robert Taylor, she said. Even bat room JoVies OT lo\it- lettcr words will be permitted. She will send out little cards to 'Blush o£ the Month Clubs" to certify memberships. The cards have the slogan: "A blush a day keeps the wrinkles away" on them, a place for the name of the member, and at the bottom a single line: "How are your vaso-constrictors today?" "The vaso-constrictor," said Mrs. Donahue, "is the nerve that enables people to Blush. Some ladies haven't used their vaso-constrictors since Eleanor Glyn wrote 'it.'" Heads Somerset Campaign.

We'll Get it Right This Time, We Promise: The A350 Reborn?
It was reported by Bloomberg today that, perhaps bowing to the inevitable, Airbus is going to announce very soon that they are about to scrap the 'redesigned' A350 and spend $10 billion USD in developing what could be a cutting edge competitor to the B787-which is what some highly placed people in ILFC, Emirates and elsewhere have been saying all along that Airbus should do.
When the first through fourth iterations of the A350 design came out, it was pretty much a refried warmed over A330-200 with a new wing. In fact, it wasn't even going to have its own type certificate. Airbus was pretty cavalier about the whole thing, assuming, one might suppose, that their customers would buy anything that said Airbus on it despite a lukewarm reception where the rubber meets the road. Meanwhile, things weren't going so well in the order department.
According to Bloomberg, this will make Airbus' fifth attempt to come up with a viable competitor to the Plastic Fantastic 787 from Boeing. If the story turns out to be accurate, it will mean that another two years will be tacked onto the development calendar, and deliveries may not occur until 2012 or beyond.
The parameters of the possible new design may prove very interesting and for one, I'll just bet my last Confederate dollar that it will include a composite fuselage. My guess? The spin will be "Well, we studied it until we got it right as only we in Europe know how to do it". One thing that the "current" A350 design just couldn't get around is a 10 metric ton giveaway in the weight department.
It wasn't so long ago that Airbus was saying that they'd just pay people money to shut up and go away, rather than spend the money redesigning an indifferent product. Hopefully we've heard the last of that nonsense.
Stay tuned. This could be the big Farnborough splash everyone's been looking for.

People don't remember who you were, they remember who you are now. Be who you need to be right now without dwelling on what you've been before. The past is past.
This also brings up something that has been on my mind a lot recently. It is so important to live in the right now. To really experience life as it is happening. The only way to do this is to quiet your mind enough that you are able to hear what the Holy Spirit is telling you. You know that Jesus Christ is real. You know that we are to be led by the Spirit, yet how many of us are really listening for Him? When we stop to be alive to the moment we are in, all of a sudden we are more clear headed. We make decisions more rationally. We will recognize that this moment we are in right now, isn't going to last for very long. When it's over, it's over. This moment is important. There is no going back. So, by living with our minds set on today, it actually sets our minds upon eternity. What we do right now matters, because it's all or nothing. We are not guaranteed another minute. With this mentality we will make right decisions, knowing that we will reap a consequence for what we do. How many of us just hobble along life without really thinking about what we are doing? We don't have too much time to make the impact we hope to make in this lifetime! The time is passing quickly and we need to be awake to experience it. There is something to the new age philosophy of being fully conscious. I don't believe that is all there is to life. But, God does want us to experience this life he's given us. I personally find myself caught up in thinking too much to even realize my life is set before me. My husband, my children, my friends, family, needy right down the street. This is for real. And, what I do today effects how my forever turns out. Clear your mind enough that you can experience right now to it's very fullest. If you allow yourself to feel the moment, in all of it's hurts or joys, your memory of it will last a lot longer. We tend to clamp ourselves off from whatever is happening, because of unforgiveness or bitterness that we've been harboring for way too long. When you have a heart that is angry you do not allow your feelings to be exposed. As women, we need to be in control of our emotions, but able to let them flow freely when appropriate. This is natural. The best thing of all is really thinking about TODAY, putting your all into today, knowing that This Day is a gift from above. Dance with your children. Laugh. You have the ability to make today the best it can be. Enjoy each moment as you live it out.
I also want to note that I used to have such a difficult time with HOPE. I never could get beyond the moment. When I gave my life to Jesus Christ I met Hope in person. He has given me something beyond myself to yearn for, to believe in, to rely upon. With Him, I know there is more to life than right now. I have since learned that when He created the world, He made certain dynamics to it. One is the law of sowing and reaping. With this, I can believe that there will be a consequence to my actions. Each decision will reap eventually. This can work for me as a blessing or a curse. I can rely on this, knowing my life really does make a difference, sometimes an eternal difference, sometimes a moment by moment difference. For instance, when my house is a wreck, I have a choice. I can either get disappointed and think that I have no effect on my circumstances or I can realize that I can make a difference on how my tomorrow will be. If I decide to rely on sowing a clean home, tomorrow I will wake to a nice house. This is a simple analogy of the law of sowing and reaping, but this works for larger things as well. We just have to believe that when we sow good seed, we will reap the harvest. Even if it seems that there is nothing growing yet. Someday, God will see to it that it does. I'm learning to live in my "new man" as I learn to not weary in doing good, because God's promises are true.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before{me - to experience}, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Power holidays and outages have become the order of the day. People who face eight-hour blackouts are demanding that everyone else should suffer the same fate. The demand for power is going up. But production is not increasing proportionately. Blackouts are only going to increase in duration. Citizens should learn to live with the outages.
During unscheduled power cuts, the lady of the house bemoans that the overhead tank has not been filled and chutney for the meal is not ready.
During my school days, I spent many summer vacations with my grandparents in a village in Kerala. I had first-hand experience of how my elderly relatives survived without electricity.
My grandfather taught me the great epics and how to read and write Malayalam. Those lessons were taught during daytime. My grandparents woke up early in the morning so that enough daylight was available for all daily chores.
Water was drawn from a well in the backyard. No electric motor was employed. For taking bath, we went to the village pond. Clothes were dipped in the pond, pummelled on the granite steps and rinsed. No washing machine or water heater.
My grandmother used firewood for cooking. No microwave, mixer and grinder were employed in the kitchen. Masala and chutney were prepared with manual stone grinders. Smoke billowed from the kitchen on rainy days because of wet firewood. A chimney partly vacated the smoke.
The puja room had lamps made of brass. Gingelly oil with cotton wicks were used to light the lamps for puja. My grandparents recited religious scriptures either from memory or by reading books under the oil lamps. No need for electricity.
Dinner was eaten early at sunset, so that no activity took place at night under a kerosene lantern. Even when electricity came to the village, the voltage was so low that bulbs were no challengers to the lanterns. Since my grandparents had grown up without electricity, the introduction of electricity in the village and their house never made any difference to their daily life. The low voltage only made the bulbs conk out early, a drain on the wallet.
After dinner, we sat on the veranda, chatted for some time and went to bed early. We used hand fans, made of palmyra leaves, until we fell asleep.
An employee of the village panchayat went round lighting kerosene lamps at street-corners. That was more of an official requirement than of any use to the villagers. Hardly anybody stirred in the dark and if people were forced to go out for any reason, they would carry lanterns which withstood rain and winds.
We are now used to electric power and if power fails, we feel miserable. Maybe, we can recall how our ancestors managed and grin and bear the misery caused by power-cuts.
If mosquitoes come buzzing around, we can follow our ancestors' methods. They burned incense and dry neem leaves in a coconut shell and warded off the pests. If any mosquito evaded the smokescreen and disturbed our sleep, we would employ our hands to slap and silence the intruder. The method is tried successfully in many households even today after they have exhausted chemical pesticides and electric devices.
If there is no water supply from the tap, a rope and bucket can be employed to draw water from the sump or well. It will be good for the muscles and bones. Children should be encouraged to do their homework in daylight. It will be good for the eyes and for peace of mind
Housewives should keep a small manual stone grinder in the kitchen so that cooking need not be interrupted by a sudden outage. If all good men learn to live with the inevitable power shortage, the men in power will be spared the curses of frustrated citizens.

That was the sentence that began the last hour of my work day today. It was such a bad hour. Bad. Bad. Bad.
I can only remember one other work day that made me question myself anywhere near as much as I did today.
Here's hoping that tomorrow is better. I probably won't sleep well tonight.
Please pray for "my" sweet baby.

Volvo has teamed up with its racing partner 'Polestar Performance', which handles the firm's championship-winning Swedish Touring Car Team, to develop the C30 Performance Concept Prototype.
The idea behind the project is to create the ultimate C30 without being halted by specific race regulations. The concept includes a 400-horsepower engine, all-wheel-drive, and aerodynamics based on Polestar's race car data.
"We love the Volvo C30 – it's a great car with huge potential for development with its low weight and low centre of gravity. It's also a fantastic road car. But now we go much further by combining the road car with cutting edge racing technology," says Robert Dahlgren, race and development driver at Polestar.
The 400HP-strong C30 concept car will have its world premiere at the Gothenburg Motor Show on April 22.

Prior research has shown an association between infant regulatory problems (namely sleeping and crying problems) and later childhood social, emotional and behavioural problems. However, the influence of other facets of infant regulation on this association, such as infant feeding problems, tantrums and mood swings, has not been considered. Examining these facets together, we aimed to (1) identify unique profiles of infant regulatory behaviour, and (2) examine the social, emotional and behavioural outcomes for each profile at 5 and 11 years of age.
Materials and methods
Data were drawn from a longitudinal, community cohort (the Early Language in Victoria Study, Melbourne, Australia). Sociodemographic data were gathered from mothers at infant age 8-10 months (wave 1, n=1759), data on infant regulation (sleeping, crying, feeding, temper tantrums, mood swings and global temperament) and maternal mental health were gathered at infant age 12 months (wave 2, n=1759) and mothers completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) at child ages 5 (wave 6, n=1002) and 11 years (wave 10, n=871).
Latent Class Analysis identified 5 unique profiles: a severely unsettled group (3.35%), a moderately unsettled group (13.19%), a sleep problems group (25.36%, with predominant sleep issues), a tantrums group (21.32%, with predominant tantrum issues), and a typical group (36.78%, with very few problems). Adjusted linear regression revealed that at 5 years of age the severely unsettled group, in comparison to the typical group, had more emotional symptoms (adjusted mean difference (aMD) .83, 95% confidence interval [CI] .22 to 1.43, p=.01), conduct problems (aMD .97, 95% CI .38 to 1.56, p<.01), hyperactivity (aMD 1.51, 95% CI .63 to 2.39, p<.01) and total difficulties (aMD 3.65, 95% CI 1.87 to 5.42, p<.01). At 11 years of age these differences were even more pronounced with the severely unsettled group reporting more emotional symptoms (aMD .83, 95% CI .22 to 1.43, p=.01), conduct problems (aMD .89, 95% CI .31 to 1.47, p<.01), hyperactivity (aMD 1.83, 95% CI .84 to 2.83, p<.01), peer problems (aMD .89, 95% CI .24 to 1.55, p=.01) and total difficulties (aMD 5.42, 95% CI 3.10 to 7.74, p<.01). In addition, the moderately unsettled, sleep problem and tantrum groups each reported poorer outcomes than the typical group on several SDQ subscales at 5 and 11 years of age.
In this study, around 3% of infants had multiple severe regulatory problems, placing them at increased risk for poorer social, emotional and behavioural outcomes during childhood. When parents seek help for infant sleep problems, clinicians should enquire regarding the presence and severity of other infant regulatory problems and if necessary, offer referral to appropriate support services.
We thank the Maternal and Child Health nurses and ELVS participants who generously donated their time to this study.

Yesterday's trip to Quinnipiac University, part of the Ballroom Society's fundraiser, was a success! Thanks so much to everyone who came out and waited patiently for their cupcakes. We hope you enjoyed them and that you'll check out the Ballroom Society (hey, dancing's a great way to burn a few calories). Perhaps we'll be able to stop by another time to spread some sugary sunshine your way?
On another note, we won't be parking today but we hope you can get out and enjoy this beautiful, warm weather we're having. And, if you're lucky enough to be on the guest list of the e-list and Ashlwarn Farm's "roaster-e" party, perhaps we'll see you in Lyme on Saturday evening.

While at Grandma's and Papa's house, we went to the park with the Sandersons. I got to "wide" in the wagon with "my cousin Allie." After eating out picnic lunch we were off to play. The boys enjoyed swinging while Allie and I played princesses. While Kyle taught me how to sing "Goin' Country" Allie schooled me in the art of princess playing. She was Aurora or as I say "Rarura" and she named me Cinderella. It was fantastic. In fact, I still play by myself. Although, it's a little confusing at times. Allie's direction would be much appreciated. I forget some of the princesses' names and I really don't remember any of the princes. But I'll learn.
All in all, we had a great time in Birmingham. I can't wait to go back again!

China's solar-panel makers lower their costs through greater than 1 / 4 to compensate, sending international costs plummeting. Western corporations discovered themselves not able to compete, and lower jobs from Germany to Michigan to Texas and issues past.
The ones issues incorporated Perrysburg — the place Mr. Abney and about 450 different workers unexpectedly discovered themselves out of labor. "Inside only some months, all of it got here crashing down," Mr. Abney mentioned. "It's like a dying within the circle of relatives. Folks really feel awkward speaking about it."
President Trump, who pressed President Xi Jinping of China on business and different problems this week after they met at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Seaside, Fla., has vowed to finish what he calls China's unfair trade practices. A lot of his oratory has concerned out of date smokestack industries like metal — industries through which the roles had been already disappearing even earlier than the upward thrust of China.
However economists and trade teams warn that China's business ambitions have entered a brand new, far-reaching segment. With its deep govt wallet, rising technical sophistication and a complete plan to unfastened itself from dependence on international corporations, China objectives to change into dominant in industries of the longer term like renewable power, large knowledge and self-driving automobiles.

Someone forgot to tell ol' "Broken Foot" of that fact. He showed up many of the younger warriors in several encounters with the whites.
Kas-Tziden, which means "broken foot" in Apache, suggested Nana's lameness in his left foot and constant suffering from rheumatism. This disability, and the fact that he was 81 years old, meant nothing to the Apache war leader.
Nana of the Chihenne or Warm Springs Apache was born around 1800 and later married the sister of famed tribal warrior Geronimo. They had five daughters, all of whom married tribal chiefs and renowned warriors. It was perhaps his capability in weaving alliances among the various Apache groups that allowed him to form a war band. In 1881, not content to leave the fighting to the younger generation, he led one of the greatest Apache raids the country would see.
Nana and his 15–40 warriors covered 1,600 kilometers (1,000 mi) of enemy territory, from the mountainous regions of Mexico to the plains of the southern United States. Along the way, they fought Mexican and American troops in multiple engagements, killing and wounding dozens of soldiers and capturing hundreds of horses and livestock. For several weeks, the US cavalry chased Nana and his band fruitlessly, never capturing the 81-year-old warrior with the lame foot. The Apache raiders returned to their territory safe and unmolested, bringing unrivaled loot. Nana remained free until 1886, when he was captured while fighting alongside Geronimo, and lived out the rest of his days in peace in Fort Sill, Oklahoma until his death on May 19, 1896.
Well, from one older guy speaking for another, I think the old man was a hero of sorts. Certainly had his share of backbone, ya know?
Coffee out on the patio this morning. Let's toast to the old guys!

What are you going to be for Halloween? I haven't decided yet. This is one of my favorite holidays because you get to dress up and be a kid again. Now that my son is 21 and doesn't live at home anymore I don't have anyone to trick or treat with. Actually he stopped that practice when he became a teen and was "too grownup". I will never grow up and just might go out all by myself and have some fun this year. When my son was a child we use to dress up in the same theme. We won many first place ribbons and treats. For any of you out there with small children here are some of the ideas we won with: One year Eric was a football player and I was a referee. One year he was a doctor in training and I was a patient. Use your imagination and make your own costumes. Enjoy the kids being small and savor the experiences with them. If you have small children don't forget to do all the fun things on the holidays. Carve the pumpkin. Go Trick or Treating. Just don't get into any trouble lol. I am looking forward to having grandchildren one day so that I can start all this over again. Until then I will be that crazy woman that shows up at your door and
yells: Trick or Treat Smell my feet give me something good to eat.:)
