The Most Adventurous Outdoor Activities in Sayulita
When Sayulita is mentioned as a vacation destination, most people think of it as a quiet, laidback fishing village with great attractions and clean beaches. Not so many people ever think of it as a place where adrenalin junkies would find something to do. But how wrong are they to think this way, since the region is full of very exciting outdoor activities that will cause hairs to rise even for the most seasoned adrenalin junky. If you are in doubt, then here is a look at some of the most adventurous outdoor activities for those seeking an adrenaline rush in Sayulita:
Adventurous activities in the water
There is a ton of adventure to be had in the Sayulita waters, and if you want to get the best of this experience, be sure to have a good number of days reserved for your vacation. You can start your water adventures by surfing to enjoy the cool breeze, along with the waters in the late afternoon. Boat racing, snorkeling and diving are the other magnificent adventures you can experience in Sayulita's ample waters.
Adventures on land
Land adventures in Sayulita are also as exciting as the adventures on water. With the golf courses, beaches and the jungles, you will be simply spoiled in terms of choice, regarding your preferred type of adventure that you need to check off your bucket list, which you can pursue on land. Begin by arranging horseback riding along the beaches, and for deep exploration. When done, go for the canopy tours or jungle bike riding to appreciate Sayulita's jungle, and immerse yourself in natural beauty, and marvel at the beautiful birds inhabiting the jungles.
Attend local events
Though many may not see how this may be an adventure, it is always a nice experience to meet locals and share some culture with them. This is how you get to appreciate the diversity in culture that exists in different places around the globe.

As Valentine's day fast approaches, love is in the air and couples are all snuggled up, but where do sexy singletons go to meet prospective bachelors and bachelorettes? Speed Dating of course! On Saturday 11th, RAG held their annual Speed Dating event in which…well it's quite self-explanatory: you go, you sit, you chat, you fall in love or you move on. A simple concept, yet the idea of it strikes fear in the hearts of many would be valentines, so how did RAG fare in their attempt at being Cupid?
Admittedly, I was very sceptical at first: a group of singletons, who were free on a Saturday night, shoved together and forced to talk sounds…just riveting. However, despite my cynicism, the night was actually really enjoyable, with a many laughs and lots of money raised for charity. Split into two groups, the girls and guys rotated around the room trying to find their soul mates in the minute allocated. To provide a bit of Dutch courage, The Bridge served up two cocktails, the names chosen by punters themselves, so any nervous daters or awkward moments could be helped with either the Chicoland or Sex Panther, which both went down a treat. The night was a laugh and a great way to meet new people, with RAG supplying some "helpful" advice topics to keep conversation flowing: "Did I have you at hello?" "How do you like your eggs in the morning?" and "I have the moves like Jagger" were just a few of the funny and clearly important subjects tackled in the quest for love.
Thankfully, most people didn't seem to need these as conversations were cut short by the minute deadline, but I did manage to catch parts of some deep, soul connecting discussions: "Don't tease me with your Sex Panther!" "That's my boyfriend over there", "You are looking Scrumalicious" and possibly the best, "I like anime porn". Although fake names and jokes were spread, there were some displays of hitting it off and shameless flirtation, some people even got bought a drink.
After the courting came the auction, where dates and singletons became lots, with the money bid going to RAG's chosen charities. With a range of dates from a meal at the "Slug and Lettuce" to a free "Subway", the heat was on. I have full respect to the guys and girls who valiantly agreed to be auctioned off, and as the bidding increased so did the laughs. The "auctionees" generally got a great reception, with the odd exception, and raised money for a worthy cause. However, the main bid was an exclusive viewing of a film of your choice to you and whoever you wanted at Union films on Valentine's night. Bidding was competitive and eventually sold for £23; a fair few bob for a student!
Overall, I started dreading the idea, but ended happy I went; laughs were shared, friends were made and even some numbers were swapped (whether they were real or not is another story!). A worthy cause and a great night, well done RAG for making Cupid proud with a hilarious and love filled evening.

Candles flickered, voices rang out joyfully with prayers and singing as parishioners adored the Blessed Sacrament at the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes at St Therese church in Mangere on October 23.
This was the culmination of a week of devotion to our Blessed Mother for the month of the Holy Rosary for both St Anthony's, Mangere Bridge and St Therese.
The two parishes decided on a special way to commemorate the month. While there is already a strong devotion to Our Lady with Saturday observance of devotion and a short time of adoration following the Saturday morning Mass, organisers did not know how people would respond. But to their amazement both the morning devotion and the evening devotions were well attended.
Both parishes from Monday to Saturday had daily prayer, rosary, adoration, sharings/preaching and Mass.
Different groups led the prayer and sharing such as the Legion of Mary and prayer groups such as the Samoans, Tongans, Divine Mercy Prayer Group and the youth.
The parish priest, Fr Manoj Kunnath, was delighted with the outcome of the week of celebrating the Holy Rosary. He was very moved by how many people stayed in adoration praying the rosary before the Blessed Sacrament outside until midnight on the last day.
"It was a testimony to the very strong faith of the people and their love of our Blessed Lord in the Holy Eucharist", Fr Kunnath said.
He also emphasised the beauty of the various cultures, who led the rosary in the grotto in their native languages.
"It's such a joy to see the people praying for the needs of their families and our country."
The parishes also held an outdoor Mass at the Mangere Lawn Cemetery for the first time. Parishioners were encouraged to bring their friends, as all relatives who had passed on were remembered and prayed for at this time.

Securing UK Borders
This second report in the series focuses on the implications of leaving the EU for the management of the UK's borders. For effective management, there is a need to balance the desire for secure borders against making it as easy as possible for international business to thrive and legitimate movement to occur. The report considers how this can be done in a post-Brexit world.

European distillate inventories, which currently stand at about 480 million barrels, are roughly 40 million barrels beneath year-ago levels. Diminished stocks in combination with a widening distillate import requirement, which is expected to grow by 100,000 b/d over the next twelve months, will provide bullish support for distillate spreads going.

Q1. In general, is this WCAG 2.0 Working Draft easy to understand? It is not trivial reading, but I found it far easier to understand than the 1.0 guidelines. I cannot even guess how many times I read the 1.0 guidelines and frankly never did understand them fully. I skimmed this 2.0 document once, then read it carefully and understand it already better than I ever did the 1.0 guidelines. Q2. Is the concept of Core and Extended checkpoints easy to understand? Yes, but I found the priority level concepts of 1.0 understandable as well. The advantage of the new system is that it does not need to set priorities on which of the extended guidelines is the most important. I can also see that the new structure is at least partly responsible for the increased readability of the guidelines. For what it's worth I like the concept of Core+ but recommend that a core+ claim list the extended checkpoints that are met. Number of extended checkpoints isn't very informative unless it is nearly all of them. Q2a. Is this an effective structure? Yes, but I do sympathize with those who've mastered 1.0 structure and are now being asked to adopt something that really is radically different. Q3. If your site or organization already uses WCAG 1.0, do you think it will be difficult to migrate from WCAG 1.0 to WCAG 2.0? I'm certainly no expert, but it's obviously not trivial. A lot of effort is required to provide transition documents. Good luck.

Eugene Victor Thaw is a rebel in an age in which art historians often care less about the quality of an artwork than what it might say about ethnicity, gender or power relationships.
Thaw is adamantly not afraid of the Q-word. In fact, it has been at the core of his legendary efforts for decades as one of the nation's leading dealers, collectors and connoisseurs.
"The word quality has become a nasty word and is thought to be the wrong category to focus on," Thaw said Tuesday in an interview at the Cleveland Museum of Art. "I've never agreed with that."
Thaw was in town for the press preview for "Art of the American Indians," an exhibition focusing on the collection that he and his wife, Clare, assembled and donated to the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1995.
Slight and dapper in a dark jacket and pocket square, with large, horn-rimmed glasses, Thaw could have been a professor emeritus from a university art history department. But he didn't sound like one. His soft-spoken, scholarly manner contrasted with his reputation for strong, firm judgments backed up with equally strong, clear language.
In 2005, for example, Thaw rocked the art world by declaring a recently uncovered batch of paintings attributed to Jackson Pollock to be inauthentic.
Thaw's view, later reinforced by scientific research that found materials in the paintings not known to have existed during Pollock's life, set him at odds with Case Western Reserve University art history professor Ellen Landau, who declared the paintings authentic.
Thaw made it clear he hasn't changed his mind, but he declined to say more on the topic. Since 2007, Landau has said she is no longer involved in debates over the paintings. On Friday, she removed a paragraph that had been in her profile on the CWRU Web site for several years, which had described the paintings as Pollocks.
Thaw was equally outspoken on the global wave of architecturally spectacular art- museum expansions, some of which have strained the endowments and operating budgets of the enlarged institutions.
"It's a bad thing," Thaw said. "The emphasis should be on the contents of the building, not on the building itself. You've got this Disneyland complex, where there has to be a restaurant and a theater and a shop, everything in the way of a public entertainment palace.
"It gets away from the real essential purpose of the institutions," he continued. "You'll notice that in every one of them, the permanent collection galleries are empty, and it's the temporary show, the box office treat, that gets the attention. That's an unhappy situation, but I don't know how to correct it."
Thaw reserved judgment on the Cleveland Museum of Art's half-finished expansion and renovation, designed by architect Rafael Vi2/3oly. As of the time he spoke in the interview, he hadn't yet had a chance to look around.
But Thaw's view that museums should focus first on permanent collections echoed that of Sherman Lee, who directed the Cleveland museum from 1958 to 1983, and to whom Thaw sold many an artwork. Lee died in July 2008 at age 90.
"He was terrific," Thaw said. "He had a certain amount of arrogance and ego, as people like that should have and deserve."
Thaw said that when he invited Lee into the back storeroom in his New York gallery, where he specialized in European Old Master paintings and drawings, Lee "could come in and know what everything was without being told."
Among the works sold to Cleveland by Thaw are Francisco Goya's "Saint Ambrose," circa 1776-79; a small Willem de Kooning portrait of a woman, 1949; and a full-length portrait of George Pitt by Thomas Gainsborough, 1768-69.
Thaw said that Pitt, dressed in a long red coat with white breeches, always reminded him a little of Lee.
"I kidded him about it," he said. "It didn't hurt that it looked like him."
Born in New York in 1927, Thaw had a modest upbringing as the son of a civil engineer with socialist leanings, who named him in honor of labor organizer Eugene Victor Debs.
In an oral-history interview recorded for the Archives of American Art in 2007, Thaw said his mother, a high school teacher, took him to pivotal early exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art on Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh.
Those early experiences, plus a four-month trip to Europe after he graduated from St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., set him on the course to becoming a dealer. He opened his first gallery with partner Jack Landau in the Algonquin Hotel on 44th Street in Manhattan in the late 1940s.
While selling art, Thaw also indulged his passion for collecting. He built important holdings in Old Master drawings, which he donated to the Morgan Library and Museum in New York, and ancient Ordos bronzes from the central European steppes, which he donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Now that he's moved on from collecting American Indian art, he has a new passion: Merovingian jewelry and precious objects from Europe in the time of Charlemagne.
At $1 million or more for the best pieces, prices for high-quality American Indian art are now beyond his reach, Thaw said.
"But you can buy a great piece of Merovingian jewelry of the sixth century with gold inlaid with garnets, something comparable to what you find in German museums, and nobody else is looking for it, and you can buy it for $25,000," he said. "That, I can handle."

I found this website whilst searching online. This is the first time I have purchased from them. I would recommend their beard balm if you have a long beard. Once you have applied the balm and combed / shaped your beard to your desired shape the Balm hold your beard in shape all day. If you need to comb your beard during the day your beard doesn't feel tangled and your comb glides softly through your beard. Ideal for guys with long beards. Will definitely buy from you guys again.

State Historic Site
Trail End
Rosa-Maye Kendrick Harmon's wedding table (Kendrick Collection, TESHS)
A Whole-House Exhibit at the Trail End State Historic Site
August 1996 - December 1996
(Kendrick & Hoff collections, TESHS)
WHITE, SYMBOLIZING YOUTH and purity, has become the accepted color for the American wedding dress. This trend began around the mid 1800s, but even as late as the turn of the twentieth century, many women still chose colored dresses in which to be married. It seemed, however, to be a matter of personal choice: Sheridan resident Annie Loucks, who wed Cameron Garbutt in 1889, was married in a rust brown silk suit with matching hat and purse; Ida Stevens, who married Sheridan county rancher George Nottingham in 1911, followed the popular fashion and was married in white; five years later, young Ethel Snively of Sheridan was married in a pale blue silk dress with a white shawl and cameo.
When she married thirty-four-year-old John Benjamin Kendrick in Greeley, Colorado, in early January 1891, eighteen-year-old Eula Wulfjen wore a warm winter suit that later served as a traveling outfit on her honeymoon. The Greeley Tribune described the dress as follows: "The bride's costume was of mauve Henrietta, combined with velvet, trimmings of silver otter fur, hat and gloves to match, diamond ornaments."
Henrietta, by the way, was a fine yet sturdy woolen fabric often used to make women's dresses and gowns - particularly winter wedding gowns - in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With its parallel diagonal ribbing, faint luster and extremely soft finish, Henrietta was rather expensive, making it a good choice for the bride who wished to make a subtle showing of her family's wealth.
When the Kendrick children got married, their nuptials were well-covered by the press in both Washington and Sheridan. At her 1927 wedding to Hubert Reilly Harmon, Rosa-Maye's dress was described in great detail:
The bride wore a gown of white bride's satin, simply made and draped at the front, where the drapery was held with a rhinestone ornament, and the ends of the drapery falling below the bottom of the skirt, lined with pale flesh color. A deep V in the front of the bodice, reaching to the waist, was filled in with Venetian rose point lace over pale flesh [netting], making a round neckline. A coronet of rose point lace was held at either side with orange blossoms. The lace, falling down each side from the coronet to the waist, was set into a tulle veil, which fell over the court train, and was finished at the bottom with a deep flounce of the same lace.
Two years later, when Clara Diana Cumming married Manville Kendrick, her dress was described in the papers as well:
The bride is wearing just the type of dress that is most becoming to her slender figure. It is ivory satin made with a fitted bodice and a straight, full skirt that is long on the sides. The V-neck has an ornament of seed pearls worn by Mrs. Cumming at her wedding. There is a court train of the satin and Brussels point-lace. And over this falls a veil of tulle arranged in soft folds about the head.
A court train such as those worn by Rosa-Maye and Diana extended about three feet behind the gown itself. Today, a gown's train is a part of the dress itself. A court train of the 1920s was a separate piece - attached at either the shoulder or the waist - descending down the back of the gown, underneath the veil.
Unlike today, when most wedding dresses are packed away in the attic never to be worn again, brides used to wear their dresses over and over again for special – or even everyday – occasions. Eula Wulfjen Kendrick and Annie Loucks Garbutt, for example, were able to wear their dark-colored traveling suits on future train trips. Another bride, Big Horn Basin resident Cecilia Hennel Hendricks, wore her 1914 wedding dress to dinner on each of her wedding anniversaries – and congratulated herself every year that it still fit.
Rosa-Maye Kendrick was able to reuse her ivory satin wedding gown when she was presented to the King and Queen of England in a 1927 ceremony for "Embassy Ladies." In her book Intimate Letters From London, she described the reworking of the dress:
I took the court train of my wedding gown to a dressmaker, patronized by the American ladies of the Embassy, to have it shortened … then with dress, feathers and veil to the cleaners, I was ready. When my bouquet arrived, a gorgeous creation ... composed of deep lavender orchids, delicate blue Iris, long sprays of green fern tied with a flowing bow of white satin ribbon, I felt quite the bride again with the plain white satin dress, white feathers and wisp of veil.
Preparatory to the presentation, titled English ladies gave lessons in court etiquette "as a means of earning pin money." They charged their American customers six to twelve pounds for two or three lessons.

Thomas Sørensen has emerged as the most likely candidate to replace Manchester United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez, should the Frenchman leave Old Trafford this summer.
Arsenal have already made it clear they see Sunderland's number one as the natural successor to David Seaman and are expected to bid for the Dane's services this summer.
However, Sørensen could find himself at the centre of a potentially lucrative tug of war after it became clear that Sir Alex Ferguson has identified the Black Cats' shot-stopper as the best long-term replacement for Barthez.
It is understood Manchester United are prepared to table a £3m-plus offer for Howard Wilkinson's first-choice goalkeeper, with West Ham United's David James the other name in the Old Trafford frame.
Ferguson is planning a summer clearout of several first-team stars at the end of the season, and Barthez has already indicated he favours a return to France.
Although the former World Cup winner has overcome a series of high-profile errors to re-establish himself as Old Trafford's undisputed number one, the former Monaco favourite has always made it clear he wants to conclude his career back home.
And Ferguson is known to admire both Sørensen and James - so much so that he will press home his interest regardless of Sunderland and West Ham's league status - Premiership or otherwise.
Only last week Sørensen revealed to the Danish press that he would be flattered by an approach from the Gunners.
But it is likely that Peter Schmeichel's successor as Danish number one would view a move to Manchester United with equal zeal.
Sørensen has always denied he is looking beyond his future on Wearside but there is little doubt that First Division football would be a potentially crippling step backwards for one of Europe's leading goalkeepers.
Sunderland privately accept that they will struggle to retain their leading players should the club lose its fight for top-flight survival but the prospect of a bidding war for Sørensen could help the Black Cats rebuild for the future. And Arsene Wenger is unlikely to sit back and allow Ferguson to steal one of the Premiership's most respected players from under his nose.
Sunderland will seek at least £5m for a player still to reach the peak of his career but the depressed state of the current transfer market means Wilkinson could be forced to accept a substantially lower offer.
Meanwhile, the Black Cats' boss has avoided a row with Republic of Ireland boss Brian Kerr after this month's World Youth Championships in the United Arab Emirates was shelved. Fifa officials have taken top level advice on the prospect of war in the Middle East and, after several days of deliberation, have opted to call off the Under-20 tournament.
That frees Sean Thornton to play a key role in Sunderland's relegation run-in after Football Association of Ireland bosses had insisted the former Tranmere player would not be allowed to stay on Wearside. Newcastle duo Stephen Brennan and Joe Kendrick were also due to take part.

Steve Bannon, currently exiled from the White House, may not be a Donald Trump favorite these days, but he is nonetheless doing his best to ingratiate himself with the president. Far from exiled when it comes to the mainstream press, Bannon told the BBC's "Newsnight" that Martin Luther King Jr. "would be proud of" Trump for creating jobs for Black and Latino people.
"If you look at the policies of Donald Trump, anybody — Martin Luther King — would be proud of him, what he's done for the Black and Hispanic community for jobs," he said. Don't be surprised if, after an extended apology tour, Bannon is welcomed back into the fold.
Further still, if anyone is going to help bring a version of Benito Mussolini's fascism back to Italy, it may very well be Bannon. The disheveled-looking butt of late-night jokes who was forced out of the White House, unceremoniously dropped by his biggest financial backers and dumped by Breitbart News, has taken on a new role: pied piper for international white nationalism. He's here, he's there; on any given day, he might be anywhere.
According to Vanity Fair's Isobel Thompson, Bannon has recently been hanging around the disaster that is the Italian government, propping up its newfound right-wing nationalism. With its government in disarray and talk about pulling out of the European Union on some political leader's agendas, "Bannon's valedictory yawp is reverberating across Europe." Further, Bannon told The Daily Beast that if his brand of white nationalism works in Italy, "it is going to work everywhere," and "is going to break the backs of the globalists."
Thompson reported that, a few months back, Bannon "met with [far-right] League leader Matteo Salvini, whose rise to power has been motored by racism, and urged him to partner with [Italy's Five Star Movement far-right populist political party], whose catchphrase 'vaffanculo' means 'fuck off'." Bannon told Salvini, "You are the first guys who can really break the left and right paradigm. You can show that populism is the new organizing principle."
Italy's March election "failed to deliver a governing majority to a single party or a coalition, but voters awarded the largest amount of seats to the Five Star Movement (M5S), rejecting traditional centrist parties," Newsweek's Sofia Lotto Persio recently reported. "The M5S was created by the comedian Beppe Grillo in 2009 as an anti-establishment platform promoting direct democracy and transparency, but it eventually encompassed conspiracy theories about vaccines, euroskepticism and anti-immigration sentiments."
In a March interview with Jason Horowitz of The New York Times, Bannon laid out his humble goals: "All I'm trying to be," he said, "is the infrastructure, globally, for the global populist movement."
In March, Bannon also met up with France's far-right National Front in the northern city of Lille, where its leader Marine Le Pen introduced him at the party's annual conference. During that visit to Europe, Bannon also met with leaders of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party.
"But it is Italy," Horowitz reported, that Bannon "has turned into his de facto headquarters" after "populist forces smashed the country's establishment by combining to win more than half the vote," earlier this year.
Meanwhile, back in the US, Bannon is once again flacking for President Trump, insisting that "Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should be ordered to turn over all documents associated with a controversial FBI source who [the president] has accused of spying on his campaign," CNN's Sophie Tatum recently reported.
Keeping it real, Bannon "acknowledged that his renegade campaign to replace the Republican establishment with fresh faces committed to his brand of outsider populism failed," according to the National Review's Jack Crowe. Six months after threatening to destroy Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's grip on the GOP, Bannon told The New York Times that, "People are starting to realize that the anti-establishment thing is kind of a luxury we can't afford right now."
But if there is anything that defines Bannon's homeland failures, it was his backing of the Alabama senatorial campaign of the scandal-plagued Judge Roy Moore. Bannon's candidates, including Moore and West Virginia's Don Blankenship, a coal company executive recently released from prison, are notable for the scandals that dogged them, as well as for running feeble and failed campaigns.
Of all the challengers to the GOP establishment backed by Bannon, only two — Chris McDaniel, running for Senate in Mississippi, and Kelli Ward in Arizona, who is competing in a three-way primary — are still in the running, The New York Times's Jeremy W. Peters reported.
And, lest we forget, Bannon was instrumental in helping suppress the Black vote in certain swing states in 2016. Whistleblower Christopher Wylie — a former employee of Cambridge Analytica, which Bannon cofounded in 2013 in an effort to push the US electorate to the right through data-driven messaging tactics — told a Senate panel that "voter disengagement tactics" targeting Black voters were employed by the firm.
CNN reported that when Wylie was "asked by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, if one of Bannon's 'goals was to suppress voting or discourage certain individuals in the US from voting,' Wylie replied, 'That was my understanding, yes.'"
Bannon realized that while most Black voters might be unwilling to cast a ballot for Trump, convincing them to stay home could be just as effective. And that's where using Bruce Carter came into play.
According to Bloomberg, Bannon helped connect Carter (the former Black Men for Bernie founder and activist who launched the Trump for Urban Communities nonprofit in the summer of 2016) with Dallas financier Darren Blanton. Together, Blanton and Carter worked to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Trump nonprofit — money that was funneled to the voter suppression campaign. Among other efforts, Carter launched a "Don't Vote Early" campaign designed to keep Black voters from taking advantage of early voting, which often piles up votes for Democrats.
Lastly, in response to Bannon's comments that Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud of Trump, Rev. Bernice King, an activist and the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., claimed on Twitter that Bannon was co-opting her father's legacy: "#SteveBannon has dangerously and erroneously co-opted my father's name, work and words," she tweeted. "Bannon's assertion that my father, #MLK, would be proud of Donald Trump wholly ignores Daddy's commitment to people of all races, nationalities, etc. being treated with dignity and respect."
Late night television hosts and GOP dirty tricksters may continue to make fun of Bannon's sartorial choices, and while he's not likely to appear on the cover of GQ anytime soon, his critics shouldn't underestimate the role that Bannon is playing in drawing connections between racist right-wing movements internationally.
One thing Donald Trump appears to care about more than just about anything else is the obeisance of his staff. With more well-placed compliments about the job Trump is doing, Bannon just might re-emerge as a key Trump adviser in time for the 2020 presidential campaign.

(Note: Sign up for Chair yoga and Senior yoga and receive a discount.)
America's population demographic is changing as our baby boomers age, and soon 1 in 6 Americans will be over the age of 60. This population is more active and health conscious than the generations before them, and doctors are urging patients to add yoga to their health practices for longevity, and wellness. As yoga is validated and recommended by the medical community (and insurance) more and more elder individuals are adding yoga to their daily activity to enhance their quality of life.
Yoga for Seniors is a 20 hour training (16 contact hours) focused on the specific needs and considerations of older populations to help yoga teachers and those working with older populations to design and lead an appropriate senior yoga practice. The course includes anatomy for older populations, yoga for beginners, and material covering the following issues:
Posture modifications, props, & sequencing yoga for seniors is reviewed, as well as creative class ideas to keep seniors engaged, developing affirming attitudes and connections to the class and providing new ways to teach core yoga philosophy and practices .
This training will introduce the basics of chair yoga, however, we offer a full weekend chair yoga certification that fully explores seated yoga for those working with students with limited motion or confined to wheelchairs, and we urge our students to take both weekends if they are planning to specialize in working with the elderly and would like to fully explore the options related to teaching this demographic.
Training fee: $395.00 (Sign up for this and Chair yoga for a comprehensive journey into yoga for aging bodies and save 100.00!)
Save! Sign up for both Chair Yoga Certification and Senior Yoga Training when we offer both together, and receive $100.00 off the total of both. Enroll by signing up for one and send us a message to receive your discount on the second course.

Well, folks, as they say, it's better late than never… well, yeah, they (people in general) do say that and it's true sometimes but not always but then that's another subject all to itself. Anyways, I should have posted this at the end of November, but things got in the way and I got lost with other projects… namely my other sites that I've started.
Why did I start other sites you ask? Well, that's a good question and let's talk about that a little right now…
Over the last couple of years, the interest in prepping has taken an immense downturn. Several things have caused this downturn in interest despite the fact that we are in more danger now than we were two years ago… you ask, how's that? How are we in more danger now than we were two years ago?
After all, Donald Trump is in the Whitehouse and everything is just peaches and mega awesome! We have nothing to worry about now and there isn't any need to prep anymore because absolutely nothing is going to happen with President Donald Trump at the controls and even if it does he will personally come in on his white horse and rescue you and your family, so you don't need to prep anymore.
Just take it easy and relax… drink beer, watch the ball games, and go spend your dollars on fancy expensive dinners and shiny trinkets because all is well on the Trump train. Let's just forget about the nearly twenty-two trillion and growing national debt.
And let's not forget about the EMP threat… yeah, the threat is still there. Oh, yeah, and the threat of a second Civil War, a war that according to U.S.A. Today a third of Americans think is coming…
And, guess what…Russian hackers are still probing the U.S. power grid as are other nations… and I'm sure that we are doing the same thing to them. Please, read Ted Kopple's book Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath!
And, let's not forget that a hundred years ago, the 1918 H1N1 pandemic swept the globe infecting about a third of the world's population and killing 50 million to 100 million people… and according to people in the know, it will happen again. Yes, it will happen again, think about it! Common sense people – just because a Republican is in the White House doesn't mean that all is well and that you can just stop prepping – that's foolish.
But most people don't want to think about any of this or they want to pretend that it can't or won't happen and even if it does they want to think that they have a savior in the White House that will swoop in and save them before it gets too bad so all that they need to do is sit on their butt and watch the ball games, drink beer and eat potato chips.
People don't want to think about this stuff because it's scary and it's easier for them to convince themselves that nothing is going ever to happen… eat, drink and be happy… all is good. Well, reality check… all isn't good!
Yes, I voted for Donald Trump against Hillary, but I have enough sense to know that he isn't Gsome superhuman or a God and really doesn't have much if any control over most of the threats that could send us spiraling into TEOTWAWKI. Yet, when I talk to people it seems that many have put the man on a God status pedestal when in fact he is only a man and when I speak up and say that and that we still need to be prepping no matter what people give me "that look", you know the look…
If you stopped prepping because Donald Trump was elected president then you need to pull your head out of your rear-end! All of the threats are still there and other threats are emerging and or becoming more likely to happen! And let's remember that the presidential election is less than two years away – will Donald Trump win the White House again, will he even run again? I don't know, but one thing is certain and that is if Donald Trump doesn't win come November 2020 that a far left liberal or socialist will. Then what?
If anything the election of Donald Trump might have bought us a little more time to prep before the balloon goes up and that's all… maybe… maybe, not. But the fact of the matter is that the balloon is going to go up and it's going to pop hard! Will you be ready?
Sadly many have decided to not use this time wisely and instead are sitting on their butts doing nothing to prepare themselves or their family for what is coming. Sure, it's scary… sure it's hard… sure you have to get up off the couch and do something, but you had better get with it or suffer the consequences of your laziness and inaction.
And then there are those who stopped prepping because they don't think prepping is "cool" anymore. When all of the prepping reality shows where flashing on the TV screen nearly every evening some people watching decided the prepping must be cool and so they decided that if it's on TV and others are doing it that it must be cool and as a result, they themselves started prepping…
Well, after a few seasons those reality TV prepper shows stopped coming on and now not even reruns are being aired. I'm not sure why the shows stopped airing, maybe they couldn't find anyone else that wanted to have their preps shown over on national television, maybe, it was because the rating slumped, or just maybe "the powers that be" saw that the shows were causing an increase in awareness and that growing awareness was causing the "prepper movement" to grow and they wanted to stifle it.
I'm not sure why the doomsday preppers type shows ended… but it is kinda suspicious that nearly, all of them ended at approximately the same time, however, I do know that it caused a huge decline in interest in preparedness. But that doesn't mean that the threats and need to prepare aren't there still. The threats are still there and I think that we are in worse danger of a major SHTF even than we were two or three years ago.
Even when prepping was the "cool and the thing to do" far too many people were "pretend preppers" who liked to read all of the prepper blogs and comment about this that and the other thing, while not really doing anything or very little actual prepping. It's easier to pretend and or procrastinate than to actually do anything but that doesn't make the lack of preparation any less dangerous.
Okay, now back to my starting point… why haven't I been updating this site ten plus times a week like I used to? Because the interest hasn't been there, so why spend hours and hours every week writing and editing content that few will read? So, I decided that during this "prepping interest slump" that I'd use the time to work on a couple of other projects that I've been wanting to work on namely my concealed carry blog at Concealed Carry Today and my newest site Knife Law Insider.
Anyway, things change and I'm starting to see an uptick in traffic and more interest in prepping over the past month or so and that's great, hopefully, some folks are beginning to wake up once again and that's great. The more folks who prep the better off we will all be when the balloon goes up… but I have this nagging feeling that time is running out. We might have another year before things start to get really bad and then a domino effect into total economic collapse.
But I digress, sorry that I went on a "rant" of sorts but some things need to be said, or at least I needed to get it off my chest take it for what you want… as they say chew the meat and spit out the bones. Anyways, what have I been doing to prep over the past few weeks… well, let's see…
Okay, that's about it for me this month besides some random food storage items and replacing items that have been eaten… One more thing before I end this post… I plan on updating this site regularly and the best way to know when I publish a new article is to click on the bell that is in the lower right corner of the page and allow notifications, that way whenever I post something new you will be notified…

At this moment there is a waiting list of about 1 month, thank you for your patience when you book a session
Most people have experienced some sort of trauma; Childhood Trauma, Sexual Trauma, Ancestral trauma, the Trauma of Abandonment or Rejection, Psychological Trauma, or some form of Physical Trauma like an accident or attack. Trauma has a big impact on all levels of your being.
The effects it has on your mental-physical-emotional body, causes anxiety, depression, addictive behavior, etc…and ultimately blocks any attempt you make to create a long-lasting joyful life experience. You may experience waves of happiness and wellbeing, but unaddressed trauma will keep on popping up into your reality whenever you are under pressure and trigger you time and time again.
When you tune into the energy and purpose of these triggers, you start to understand that they are coming to the surface for the purpose of healing and transformation. Trauma recovery is all about freedom within, reclaiming the inner peace and authentically re-connecting to your core essence.
Once you set your intention to use the triggers as a tool to uncover the beliefs that support them, magic happens! You can start using the triggers in your life to learn more about yourself on a very deep level and uninstall triggers to eliminate those knee-jerk reactions that trip you up over and over again. You have the power to overwrite the lingering painful programs that are running in your sub-consciousness, controlling the way you think, feel and react without conscious awareness.
Every session is unique, depending on your type of Trauma. During our session together, I will support you and offer you the power of imagery, guided visualization and deep breath-work to access and activate that power within you. This is the perfect time for you to say goodbye to anxiety and become more of who you truly are, to release the imprints of cellular memories and repressed pains stored deep inside your body and your energetic field… to create a more joyful and vibrant life, in alignement with your highest good and in harmony with all of creation.
The techniques I use are a blend of the different healing modalities I have integrated over the years, such as shamanic soul retrieval and trauma release methods like EFT & Matrix Re-imprinting to name but a few. This session "heals", or brings wholeness, to all bodies (emotional, physical, spiritual and mental). The goal is to integrate deep healing and clearing to time-spaces of your prenatal, inner child, young adult or any aspect of you, that was challenged or traumatized and that needs more love, attention and acknowledgement. We will focus on retrieving and integrating numb, forgotten, disassociated or traumatized parts of you. This is for you if you are willing and excited to move past old stories and ways of being into your fullness.

The Winds of Fate B1 - The Blood of Kings
by theyank
- Gore
- Profanity
The Great Winter reaches its third year and creatures of nightmare thought to be long extinct roam the land once more. The Oathbreaker stirs from his icy prison, calling upon his servants both past and present. The wolf howls, the dragon roars and the serpent thrashes as the world unravels. Heroes will rise, for this will be the age to end all ages.
The spirited girl escapes the shackles of tradition, searching for adventure, finding much more.
The craven boy goes after her in the name of love.
The man with no hand seeks an old friend, and the dragon searches for that which will restore her race.
The hero-turned-blacksmith leaves his family to save the world. His friend the King wishes him dead.
The blacksmith's son goes after his father, questioning what it means to be a hero.
Their paths intertwine. They guide the Winds of Fate, weaving the song of our salvation. The Twilight of the World approaches.
The Heroes of Faengard will ride again. Let the sun rise, and the world be reborn through the ashes of war.
Old Synopsis:
The first of the chain of events prophesied to end the world has begun. The Great Winter reaches its third year and creatures of nightmare thought to be long extinct roam the land once more. The Tree that protects Faengard crumbles, and only those with the blood of kings can restore it.
As a boy on the cusp of adulthood, Ein Thoren's concerns were largely limited to which of the village girls he would marry—but when a mysterious man calls upon his father to save the world, Ein finds himself leaving behind his quiet village life to bring his father back. Along with his childhood friends and a bumbling storyteller, they face a path filled with monsters and myth, swords and sorcerers, dragons and princesses, and a demon wolf that seeks to swallow the sun, all while the world unravels around them in what will be the age to end all ages.
The Heroes of Faengard will ride again. Let the sun rise, and the world be reborn through the ashes of war.
Release Schedule: I aim to release a minimum of one chapter a week, though sometimes I might release more.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the cover image in any way. Full credit goes to the original artist.

Preface: Before I get too far into it, my true score for the book is probably around a 4.2 or so, but that's playing on a real field, with the books that obviously inspired this. It's a 5/5 on here because it's far and away better than anything I've read on here.
Style: The prose and wording of The Winds of Fate are the best on the site, bar none. Reading it primarily evokes thoughts of Rothfuss, but I can feel a bit of Sanderson and Jordan in there as well. The opening paragraph in particular is a definite nod to The Name of the Wind. I wouldn't say it quite reaches the level of Rothfuss, but theyank has a command of words like few others in the web fiction scene.
Grammar: I won't dwell much on this. I've found a few mistakes that any editor would find. It's a first draft and this should be expected. It shouldn't be any other way.
Characters: Overall, decent. I'm a bit disappointed by the amount of critical world important characters that happen to have converged on this edge of the world. It seems like every other character introduced so far is some secret legend or another. The Winds of Fate (just like The Force in Star Wars) make it convenient to explain, but ultimately unsatisfying. And as mentioned before, the naming is pretty awful. It's my opinion that every word that isn't in the dictionary in this story should probably get replaced with something else. With the amount of worldbuilding you've already put in, a basic conlang to tie all the names together wouldn't be out of the question.
Story: Don't get me wrong. There's little 'wrong' with the story. I haven't found any plotholes, plotlines, or asspulls that hurt the story. It is everything its trying to be. The problem is that theyank is capable of so much more. The Winds of Fate comes off as the standard heroes tale, combined with Name of the Wind, with a bit of other influence on top. As of this review (Chapter 40), it hasn't really started to show the nuance of a modern acclaimed epic fantasy. It's just Good vs. Evil, on the Heroes Journey, with the help of The Force/Wind. There isn't nuance to the villains. Bandits are introduced, but as of yet have created only minor conflict. There's a ton of potential already in wait, with the rich worldbuilding and current character situations. It just has yet to show itself in the story, in what I believe is too deep into the story. A minor suggestion, would be to improve explanations/nuance of the Faceless, give them a bit more of an internal conflict. They could be much more interesting villains than the wordless relicts introduced.
Overall: Still, the best story on the website. Great potential and prose. I look forward to reading more.
And now I've just realized I said the same as Setana.

This story is easily one of the best ones I've read this year and deserves more attention. Before I get into why I like this story and what it is, let me tell you what it's not.
- It's not a LitRPG story. There is no character menu, no status screen, no VR game elements and no 'level-ups'.
- It's not a reincarnation/summon to a new world with magic type of story. You won't find that super intelligent but always mis-understood and oft-times bullied protagonist with a super-tragic back-story here.
- It's not a fast paced simplistic kind of read. The chapters are actual chapters with the majority made-up of full paragraphs containing more than 3 complete sentences.
What it is:
- This is a story that shows you real people. You're going to find naive teens with big hopes and dreams, frustrated cowards trying to be more, people that are blind to the truth because of love, and of course epic successes borne from struggle, grit, and circumstance.
- It's the kind of story that makes you appreciate the beauty of sitting in silence with a friend. It makes you feel the frustration of unrequited love and the bridled rage of unchecked injustice.
- It's a story that takes its time to grow its characters. It provides readers the time and opportunity to become emotionally invested into the many characters so that the reader may better empathize with a character's successes and failures.
Now please don't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong with a story that keeps it simple. I quite enjoy fast stories that don't get complicated; they're kind of like a quickie…and who doesn't like the occasional quickie? However sometimes we need more than the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am type of stories. Sometimes, we want to slow down, take our time, go on an adventure and discover something new.

TLDR: high quality writing and a familiar story that will satisfy any reader who doesn't require a lot of gimmick to keep their attention.
The Winds of Fate is better than just about anything else you'll read on this site. There's no qualifier there, nor does there need to be. The author's writing is crisp, clean, thorough, and meticulous, with neither hideous grammar to disjoint your reading nor the hallmark too-much-too-fast sloppiness you've come to expect from RRL postings.
That is not to say that it's perfect. We'll get to that.
Stylistically, this falls into the same vein as The Iron Teeth, with rich description and fantasy mainstays leading the reader down a well-indicated path. If you enjoy a traditional novel/novella experience, this is the kind of story you likely gravitate toward, and The Winds of Fate will not disappoint in that area. The chapter length is probably the only thing that seems appropriate for Royal Road, as it's clear this is not a bumbling amateur shotgunning patreon content into a browser window as fast as he can between shifts at Burger King, which describes a lot of the higher-rated stories.
The characters are...traditional, I think, is both a kind and accurate way to describe them. If you read the whole of the story as posted, you will see shrapnel from every book, video game, anime, and film the author has ever seen, some of which leave ragged holes in the fabric of the narrative, some which merely decorate.
To clarify, you have your hidden village of peace, Norse godling chained to the top of an inhospitable mountain, village children on the cusp of adulthood, a town drunk/storyteller who's more than he seems to be, a blacksmith with a dark past, hobo-Gandalf who comes and goes as he pleases (he is a wizard, you know), the Edema Ruh with no apology to Patrick Rothfuss, and the farm boy who is the equal of all enemies.
Trollocks and Myrdraa-I mean, uh, not carbon copies lifted directly from Wheel of Time- end up attacking during a festival, spurring what will certainly be adventure!
So the characters and early story aren't exactly bleeding-edge fiction, though there are a couple bright lights in an otherwise samey pudding of tropes and cliches. The female lead has the most fleshed-out and unique personality, managing somehow to be strong, human, aggressive, smart, and courageous without being absurd. I hope to see more of her, and I hope that her charm and daring rub off on some of the other characters so the author can differentiate them more from the archetypes used to hold their meat.
Biggest complaint? The names. Jesus Tapdancing Christ, the names. Like, every name, be it a place, a person, a tree, a rock, or whatever is either outright stolen from Norse mythology, Diablo III, anime, Game of Thrones, Name of the Wind, etc, or it's one of those with a vowel replaced. This story deserves better, bespoke names for its quality. Names are memorable, and if you're using names like "Thoren" and "Bran" and "Asmodon", they will be memorable indeed...to people who read Tolkien, binged GoT, or played Diablo. Your story will not be attached to those references in the reader's brain because they are established in other contexts.
But that's really my only true complaint. The names are half-assed, but the story is on a good, if safe, track, and the quality of the writing is quite exceptional. If you've read The Iron Teeth and enjoyed it, read this. If you've read The Wandering Inn, Savage Divinity, or Everybody Loves Large Chests and want similar quality but in a familiar context, give it a try.
If you're a huge fan of The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound, this is probably not the story for you.
Keep going, author. You're doing good work.

I don't typically write reviews, especially without going into more thorough detail, but I'm short on time.
The Winds of Fate is a surprisingly well-crafted story with intrigue and excitement. As the reviewer beneath me put it, it's a 'rare gem'.
The first thing that drew my attention originally was the amount of detail to the world and characters. One quick example being the quotes the author makes at the start of each chapter to create backstory and interest for his world. It's such a simple trick but it works amazingly well to convince me your world is real and that it's not just some shallow pond.
I look forward to each new chapter release, and I'll be updating this review with a full advanced rundown eventually.

What a epic story this was, it reminded me so much of some of the Fantasy books i used to read, and clearly was inspired by those.
This story features many characters, like usual epic Fantasy novels. Generally all of them are well written, and develop a lot throughout the course of the story. I plainly cannot find a personal favorite character, since i sort of like most of them! I will be fair, that once again, this story is based on Epic Fantasy novels, and the characters are sort of the standard for this genre.
This story is set in the world of Faengard, one thing that would be clear instantly upon starting this story, is that the story takes a lot of elements from other stories, especially the story of the Nordish Ragnarok, a apt description for this story would be Ragnarok Rewritten. Due to the story being influenced a lot by other stories, quite some names may seem to be ripped from other stories, personally i do not find that a problem, and the author took measures to make sure that the too balant names were changed in something else.
Despite that, the author has crafted a original world, that would fit as a setting for many Fantasy stories.
Grammar, overall that is flawless, but there are some kinks i have noticed personally. At times, there are typo's, oddly worded sentences, or even names the author has forgotten to change in something else. However this will not pose a problem for reading this story.
The author just has a way with words, that makes this story a fantastic read, and make it worthy of being called a true Epic Fantasy story. Seriously excellent prose, the story grabbed me in instantly with its writing, and i just wanted to read further even when i wasnt reading. Good pacing, the speed sort of switches when required for the story. The story features some seriously well written scenes, that make a reader go 'wow'.
One of my few complaints is, that sadly the author currently is not planning to write another story to follow up on this one, i however can also understand it, as epic Fantasy is quite hard to write overall.
Seriously, wait no more, start reading this epic story, its even completed to boot.

Out of all the stories that I have read on RR so far, this has the greatest potential. It is a rare gem, and with more chapters, it will definitely find its way to the first page. It has a great introduction, interesting characters, and an interesting mythology. Good Luck.

(review as of chapter 18)
Pacing to be an epic. Author has a mature writing style that's no effort to read. Really good for binging.
Good enough that you won't even think about grammar while reading.
As of ch. 18, the story has just started picking up, so I'm giving a 5 out of expectations. What I've read builds a sturdy background for the main character(s), and I'm excited for what's coming next.
Each character has a distinct personality that feels natural for their role in the story so far. Dialogues between characters feel genuine and organic. I haven't noticed any character tropes.

If you have any interest in epic fantasy whatsoever, do yourself a favor and read this story. If you don't...it's perhaps not the most accessible example of the genre, but it is excellently written, keenly polished, and I believe can be enjoyed by anyone who's willing to go beyond a light novel.
Reading just the first paragraph should give you a strong sense of the quality of theyank's prose. His descriptions are frequent and vivid, and do much to carry you to the fantastic world he's created. Compared to the often-nonexistent scenery and functional style of most of RRL, the world here is just enthralling to exist within because of the attention lavished upon it.
It should be fairly evident that I view theyank's style as one of the greatest strengths of the work. Epic fantasy stories often suffer from slow pacing and excessive worldbuilding, and while The Winds of Fate shares those traits, I found myself being carried through fairly effortlessly on the back of the enjoyable writing.
As you might expect, slow-paced, though less intolerable as you might believe given my point above and knowing that it is done deliberately. Again, I'd recommend without hesitation to any fans of the genre, and encourage all others to try it with this fact in mind.
The premise is interesting, the plot sounds typical on paper, but does a good job of adding twists and subverting tropes that it doesn't feel that way, and once it picks up, it picks up well.
Perfectly readable. Can't complain.
Every character has their own quirks and feels like they have lived a lifetime to reach the page. They all feel like they have a lot more going on behind them than is immediately apparent, and that's a fantastic feeling to be able to create as seemingly effortlessly as theyank does.
When it comes to delivering on that backstory, well...not every character is necessarily as deep or storied as they first appear, but nobody is ever uninteresting, and it's handled in such a way so as to be satisfying in general.
Despite my nit-picks, I've already said it twice here: The Winds of Fate is a fantastic read, and several, several steps above what you'd typically expect to find on RRL with only a hundred follows. It is exactly what it appears to be -- an incredibly solid, very enjoyable epic fantasy story, that does exactly what it aims to with confidence and vitality. If that sounds like something you might enjoy, please give this excellent work a read and a follow. It deserves to be found.

This is an honest review stating what I felt as a reader and a writer.
Style: Overall there wasn't much to comment on the style, it was good there were no perspective mistakes, it felt clean, professional and the atmosphere and setting was very immersive, but the reason I didn't score it a 5 was because at certain points it felt slow, and took me out of the story a bit as everything was described and such, but that is more my preference as some readers may enjoy the painting of the story.
Grammer: Not much to say there was an odd error here and there but overall it was very good, (compared to mine and most of RRL)
Story: The story was pretty good but it felt pretty slow, keep in mind I read up to chapter 5 so it may speed up in the future, but for me, the pacing felt slow. But other than that the premise is interesting and each chapter felt like there was something going on. But clearing the waters I'm not that much of a fan of High Fantasy so that may have affected the score and my attention towards the story so if you are a fan of the genre the story score may be more for you.
Character: The main character for me felt like he didn't do too much yet, but other than that the few major characters that have been introduced have been pretty intensive in their personalities. Also, the dialogue felt a little wooden but that just may be the High Fantasy coming out here and "old English" and whatnot.
Conclusion: Overall it was interesting and if you're into Fantasy and such this will be a good serial to pick up and read. Even though I'm not too much of fan of the genre I'm glad I picked up this book and could learn a few things off of it (prose and grammar and whatnot).

This novel is pretty well written, and I hope that the author keeps the same level of quality. Now for the proper review:
The Good:
-Grammar is excellent.
-The worldbuilding is well done and flows well within the story.
-The plot is interesting, and I'm eager to see what the author has in stores for the future.
-The descriptions are good and allow the reader to be immersed into the setting.
-The characters are well written, they don't feel like blank slates.
The Bad:
-The plot is a bit too slow to start for my tastes.
-Too many dialogue tags, they break up the pace of the story.

As a cat lover and owner myself, many of us see having cat furniture, such as a cat window perch as something nice to have but not a real necessity. But when you observe your cats, keep in mind that a cat's instinctual behavior is to climb, explore, and establish territory. They are also very attracted to movement and observing nature outside.
Indoor cats live longer and healthier lives that outdoor cats. A domesticated cat can easily live up too, and at many times beyond 20 years. But indoor cats do have health risks too due to a sedentary lifestyle leading to weight gain and emotional issues caused by boredom, inactivity and lack of challenge.
Within the limited confines of the indoor world, our little lions' natural behaviors can often seem exaggerated or destructive. After all, cats usually are not taken for a walk as dogs are, and those that are trained on the leash are in danger of attacks by bigger animals. Instead of being tempted to scold or shoo a cat for instinctual and very natural behavior, thwart boredom and troublesome acting out by offering a place to vent these behaviors safely and also prevent innocent damage to belongings and furniture.
If you look around your home, does your feline friend have places to display these behaviors and act like a cat, like they would instinctively do in nature? This is when cat furniture and especially a cat window perch is essential to your cat's well being. Cat furniture was made to address the instinctual behavior of felines and helps to relieve the stress your cat can develop in an enclosed space shared with humans and other pets.
Cats may act out hunting and play with toys on the ground level but cats really love to be elevated to great heights in order to examine their immediate indoor surroundings or get a view of the window action going on outside. After all, unlike dogs, cats are natural tree climbing animals.
Cat furniture such as a cat window perch encourages natural climbing and stalking behavior. If you buy a cat window perch with, multiple levels, cats expend energy moving from level to level and crawling in and out of cubbies. The cubbies or corners can also provide a hunting challenge if you hide a favorite treat or toy inside for your cat to find.
Furniture for cats, like a cat window perchmay not be a great necessity, but it offers a great solution for cat owners. And it is a precious and loving gift to provide your soft companion hours of pleasure.

C2 Montréal held their three-day revolutionary conference this past May 24th through the 26th. The inclusive event transforms businesses with a unique blend of commerce, art and creativity. Each year trends are explored and participants have the opportunity to shift their perspectives and explore new ways of doing business.
Over 5,000 executives, entrepreneurs, designers and innovators attend the conference in Montréal yearly.
The conference holds talks, workshops, and festivities. There are laser lights, music, images, videos, and performances that not only engage, but also inspire the audience. This amazing event showcases companies and creative individuals who have the power to innovate and inspire. In Montréal, innovation, creativity, and knowledge fuels commerce. The three-day conference had powerful and thoughtful topics and discussions.
The first speakers were Tim Brown and Paul Bennett from IDEO, a global design firm that takes a human-centered, design-based approach to helping organizations innovate and grow. They have a strong emphasis on new forms of collaborative creation. IDEO has recently joined Kyu, a very interesting collective of creative companies owned by the Tokyo-based Hakuhodo DY Holdings. They have formed a new kind of collective with the underlying capacity of creativity as a force to propel the economy and society forward into the future.
- James Jackson from Intel highlighted Intel's support of the maker movement. Humans have an innate need to create and creativity vision, tools, and knowledge can provide the framework for new forms of entrepreneurialism based on products and services that individuals can create. People have become more focused on working and creating together and open standards are important for the maker movement.
- He emphasized how important it is to communicate and share among different backgrounds globally and the importance of teams. Intel wants to support the long tail of innovation and simplifying solutions for people to use. The common theme was how to empower the many.

Dr. Kate Darling of MIT Media Lab and Fellow, Harvard Berkman Center, demonstrated the power of artificial intelligence, physicality and movement incorporated into machines. People respond to other physical beings. Our brains are biologically programmed to relate to things that move on their own. She discussed her current research investigating social robotics and conducting experimental studies on human-robot interaction. The key concerns are privacy and social responsibility and she is striving to influence technology design and policy direction, which will become core issues as robots become more human like in the future.
"Innovations that will arrive shortly in the future are self-driving cars, medical decision support, and facial recognition."
Prediction by: Professor Nick Bostrom, Professor of Philosophy, Oxford University and Director, Future of Humanity Institute.
Harley Finkelstein
Harley Finkelstein, COO, Shopify, spoke of the future of retail and his projections for the next 5 years. There is a shift from large businesses to individuals creating businesses using services like Shopify. In the past, the main resource needed to create new businesses was capital. Technology has become so cheap and ubiquitous that everyone can now compete as entrepreneurs with very little start-up capital. In order to compete for talent, which is now the scarce resource, businesses must learn to be inclusive for employees. All employees have to feel ownership of what they are doing. Teams have to feel connected and feel like they belong. The culture is extremely important and when people can work in beautiful environments, people can be more creative. He discussed how retail is evolving and how the consumer is dictating what will sell and what brands will thrive. Customers can buy anything 24/7 on their mobile devices on Facebook as well in physical stores.
What an eye opening conference! C2 has combined art, music, story telling, networking, creativity, and powerful experiences, while demonstrating that creativity and talent will be the key ingredients for commercial power in the world that we are all creating and connecting together, inspiring change and innovation. Looking forward to next year!
