The theme of friendship is portrayed by Horatio and Hamlet. Horatio comes to Denmark to mourn the death of his friend Hamlet's father. He is the first person the guards inform when they see the ghost of the dead king.
Hamlet also trusts him immensely and reveals the desire of seek revenge by killing the new king Claudius. Even at his final breath, Hamlet instructs Horatio to tell his story to the world which he does honorably.
In contrast, Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are examples of disloyal friends who are willing to spy on their friend Hamlet when asked by King Claudius. They eventually are murdered when they reach England while Hamlet is able to escape back to Denmark.

I can imagine that up and coming Industrial Punk Electronica artist MichaelG took a lot of pleasure from creating a track which offers the aural equivalent to a cattle prod right from the prelude of their single "Electrock" leaving unexpecting listeners well and truly disconcerted.
I've never been made to feel that I've hit play on a track naively before, even with all my years in dank and sticky Industrial clubs, nothing has made my ears feel so gloriously defiled or carried the same arrestive potency of MichaelG's recent release. With Electrock, MichaelG makes Combichrist sound as mellifluous as Miley Cyrus as sonic blasts of electronica thrash violently threw the mix in electrifying death throws.
So, if you'd like to feel the sensation of caustic electricity blasting against your eardrums, look no further than Electrock which is available to stream via SoundCloud now.

Setting up a new business from her Hell's Kitchen apartment in the middle of a pandemic definitely sent textile and wallpaper designer Alexis Audette on a mazy path. Here's her West Side Story.
So, what's your New York story? Born here, or just arrived?
My husband and I moved here in 2004 so that he could attend a doctoral program at NYU and I could begin my career in textile design.
How did you end up in Hell's Kitchen?
We saw a listing for an apartment on W48th Street that had a view out to a garden behind the building, and we jumped at the chance to live in the heart of the city with a view of a green landscape. We've been here ever since.
What's your favorite thing about Hell's Kitchen?
Whereas much of Manhattan has towering buildings that block out the sun and transform the streets into wind tunnels, Hell's Kitchen is built at a human scale. Zoning laws keep our buildings at a low height and maintain a sense of light and open space in the neighborhood. As high rises go up around Hell's Kitchen's edges, I'm grateful to live in what feels like a warm and welcoming valley.
And what's your Hell's Kitchen pet peeve?
This is more of a heartache/outrage than a peeve. Our Hell's Kitchen public schools serve many homeless children. These kids, and their families, should have access to affordable housing right here in the neighborhood where they go to school.
Did you stay put when the pandemic hit or did you find an escape for some of the time?
We stayed put until the late summer, when we were able to spend some time out in the country. We were ambivalent about staying in New York. Honestly, we were frightened. But the truth is that we were also scared of unwittingly transmitting the virus to family and/or whatever other community we might have escaped to. So, we stayed here. And, as time went by, New York City seemed to be safer than many other places. For the most part, people here took the virus, and the related public health guidelines, seriously. Plus, either due to their moral fiber or small apartments, Hell's Kitchen residents didn't hoard. There was always toilet paper on the shelves at Duane Reade. We also experienced a strong sense of solidarity here, whether from joining the nightly 7pm cheer for essential workers or participating in trivia night fundraisers for various groups in need. Ultimately, New York felt like the best place to be.
What did you do for work pre-COVID? What are you doing now?
Prior to COVID, I was developing Mazy Path, a line of wallpapers based on my own handmade linocut prints. I was supposed to launch the brand at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, a trade show for interior designers and architects, at the Javits Center in May 2020. Needless to say, by May the Javits was a field hospital, not an event center, and the show was canceled. Ultimately, I launched in the fall with two showrooms. Building a new business during COVID has been a mazy path indeed.
My business plan certainly didn't include a pandemic scenario. That being said, given how much time people are spending in their homes, there's a lot of enthusiasm for interior design. In addition, the restorative quality of nature-themed motifs has a particular appeal right now. So, I feel optimistic about the road ahead.
What's the most interesting thing that you've learned during the pandemic?
The pandemic forced me to move more slowly, and I never knew how much I would like that.
Tell us one thing that's given you hope during the pandemic?
Prior to the pandemic if you had suggested ceding streets for outdoor dining and pedestrian use and transforming midtown office space into affordable housing, people would have laughed at you. Now those ideas have become entirely plausible (and some are already reality). What seemed impossible before the pandemic is now within reach. So, it gives me hope that New York can react to a devastating event with positive and innovative change.
What's the most serendipitous (random/obscure/ insane) experience that's happened to you in Hell's Kitchen?
I tend to be chilly even when most people are warm. So, a few years ago I was walking up Ninth Avenue when a member of a film crew stopped me and asked if I would be an extra in a scene they were shooting. They just needed me to walk by in the background of the shot. I said yes because I had time and, I must say, I was flattered. "What quality, pray tell," I asked the scout who stopped me, "made you ask me to be an extra?" "Well," she said "we're shooting a scene that's supposed to occur in mid-winter, and I noticed your unseasonably warm garments. It's May and you're the only person out here in a puffy coat."
What's your closest brush with world fame and celebrity?
Over the years, I've seen many celebrities in Hell's Kitchen. Just last week I saw Woody Harrelson on 58th Street. But the most memorable encounter happened about ten years ago. It was early in the morning and I was rushing to drop my kids off at day care and to get to work on time. I was holding my toddler daughter's hand, pushing my infant son in his stroller, and juggling their various belongings as well as my own. As I crossed 44th Street, another parent trudging behind a stroller, carrying multiple bags, and emanating similar
waves of exhaustion, approached from the opposite direction. As we passed each other, I realized that it was Andrew McCarthy. And I have to admit, I had a moment of schadenfreude; it occurred to me that Blane might have fancy friends and drive a BMW, but even he was humbled by the demands of parenting young children and punching a clock.
What's your superpower?
My superpower is also my Kryptonite. I'm constantly coming up with new ideas: for wallpaper patterns, for plastic-free toiletry packaging, for organizing my desk, for accessible polling stations, for dinner… Sometimes my dreamlife is even busier than my waking thoughts. On the one hand, it's great to never lack for creativity, but on the other hand, it can be a little exhausting (not least for my husband and kids!).
What song do you sing at the top of your voice in the shower?
I love to sing, but the shower is an ideas lab for me. Often, as soon as I'm done, I have to rush to my desk, sopping wet, to write down my thoughts.
Which people inspire you the most?
Creatives of all stripes — designers, chefs, farmers, etc — who are focused on craft and local production to bring about positive social change.
What's your favorite quote or saying?
As an optimist, Alexander Pope's dictum "Hope springs eternal" has always appealed to me. However, this past year I've found myself saying more often the Sufi adage: "This too shall pass."
Do you love Times Square (and/or Hudson Yards)? Why, or why not?
I don't like Times Square or Hudson Yards for the same reason; neither one was built for New Yorkers. Times Square is a giant, glowing hive of multinational corporations. Hudson Yards is a place for overseas investors to park their money (and luxury brands to lose their shirts). Yes, I hear the arguments that these places are tourist venues and New York needs tourist dollars. But tourists are coming from across the country and around the world to have unique New York experiences: Broadway shows, strolls along the High Line… The dining and shopping experiences they have should be equally distinctive to New York. And wouldn't it be nice if those tourist dollars went into the pockets of people who live and work here? What if our tourist economy was driven by local and independently owned businesses? What if New York public works projects (both Times Square and Hudson Yards have consumed vast amounts of tax dollars) were centered around local business promotion, affordable housing, good public schools and green space? Such an approach would pump money into our economy and ensure that revenue went to many local hands (not just a small group of real estate developers and investors).
If you could bring one thing (person/place/event) back to HK that is no longer around, what would it be?
I miss Empire Cleaning, the dry cleaning shop that used to be on Ninth Avenue between 47th and 48th. The family that ran the business was lovely; they always had a kind word (and treats!) for the kids, and their cleaning and tailoring were impeccable. When the landlord raised their rent to 30K per month, they had to leave the neighborhood. Now that space, like many other storefronts on Ninth Avenue, sits abandoned and empty. I miss the warmth and kindness of Empire's owners, I miss having a dry cleaner so close by, and I miss the bustling and healthy street life that existed in Hell's Kitchen before it fell victim to the greed of New York's real estate industry.
Add your shameless plug or personal profile?
Mazy Path is my new line of colorful, botanical wallpapers. The designs explore plants through the lenses of environmental journalism and art history. I'm Mazy Path's owner and designer, as well as a Rhode Island School of Design graduate and veteran of the textile industry, and the designs are based on linocuts that I make at my kitchen table here in Hell's Kitchen. The wallpapers are manufactured in Connecticut and produced on a made-to-order basis, and they can be printed on grounds that are suitable for residential or commercial (restaurant!) use. Mazy Path is represented by Temple Studio and The Design Social Studio. Come visit at mazypath.com and @mazy_path
The Clinton Community Garden (W48th St between 9/10th Ave). I adore the Community Garden. Spending time in the presence of so many beautiful trees and plants, not to mention birds and bees, is good for my soul. Even when the garden was locked during the pandemic, I would go and gaze at it through the fence, and those moments of just resting my eyes on plant life were good for my mental health. Having this green sanctuary just down the block is an incredible gift.
Midtown West, PS 212 (W48th St between 8/9th Ave). The school is a neighborhood gem. We sent both our children there and were always grateful for how the school fostered a sense of community both within its own walls and around the neighborhood. As first graders, our kids learned about the restaurant business in the kitchen at Amarone and the theater industry backstage at the Gershwin Theater. Midtown West played a wonderful and formative role in our kids' very special Hell's Kitchen childhood.
Columbus Library NYPL (10th Ave between W50/51st St). The library is small, but the book selection is beautifully edited. I can't wander through the shelves without finding multiple books that I'd like to take home. This is especially true of the children's section. And the librarians are kind and helpful. On those rare occasions when the library doesn't have a book, the librarians can procure it within days.
Ponche Taqueria (W49th St between 9/10th Ave). No Friday night is complete without chips and guac, fish tacos, a Tamarind Jarritos, and a book recommendation from André at El Ponche.
Poseidon Bakery (9th Ave between W44/45th St). The Poseidon Bakery is a neighborhood institution. Generations of Hell's Kitchen residents have grown up eating the Greek specialties (savory spanakopita, heavenly baklava!) that come from Paul and Lili Fable's kitchen. Our neighborhood has been through a lot, but I find comfort knowing that Poseidon will continue to fill our bellies.
Amy's Bread (9th Ave between W46/47th St). If I could, I would eat the cherry cream scones for breakfast, the carrot cake for lunch, and the cinnamon challah knots for dinner. Oh, and don't let me forget the chocoholic twists at cocktail hour!
Bar 9 (9th Ave between W53/54th St). Bar 9 is best known for its dueling pianos and live music scene. But thanks to the generosity of its owner, Steve Padernacht, Bar 9 has also served as a venue for fundraisers that help the community. In 2018, Bar 9 hosted an Indivisible fundraiser that I helped organize for Robert Jackson, who went on to win his race for state senate. Jackson's victory helped dismantle the Independent Democratic Conference, a group of turncoat Democratic senators who caucused with Republicans to prevent the passage of Democratic legislation in Albany. Thanks to the civic participation of community members like Padernacht, New York (and by extension Hell's Kitchen) is a more progressive place today.
The Waylon (10th Ave between W50/51st St). The Waylon is a great place to see musicians who have a country/folk/blues bent. As pandemic restrictions ease, we're excited to start seeing one of our favorite artists again, the fabulous Butch Phelps, who performs at the Waylon frequently.
Rauschenbusch Metro Ministries (W40th St between 9/10th Ave). Few institutions in our neighborhood do more to help Hell's Kitchen's most vulnerable individuals and families than Rauschenbusch Metro Ministries. Rauschenbusch supports members of our community through a range of direct services, including a food pantry, and educational programs. Especially during the COVID crisis, Rauschenbusch has provided shelter in the storm.
Manhattan Plaza Health Club (W43rd St between 9/10th Ave). I love MPHC for several reasons. First, the pool is a beautiful oasis. Second, taking exercise and dance classes with people of all ages inspires me and gives me a roadmap for how to age well. Third, I love how the staff — Deborah, in particular — always greets me by name. It makes me feel special and keeps me showing up. Due to the pandemic, I haven't been to MPHC in a long time, but I look forward to going back.

Awards season might be over, but it doesn't mean you can't treat yourself like a starlet. Nestled in the famed Beverly Hilton (home to the Grammy's and other star studded events) is the Belleza Salon where chairs have seen the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Catherine McPhee, Julianna Ranic and more. Just walking from the parking lot through the lobby, you're bound to see someone famous. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Hayden Paniterie poolside while there.
Walk ins are welcomed but be sure you book ahead for stylist to the stars, Kelley Krueger. If you want to judge a stylist by her own hair, Kelley's long ombre-colored curled locks and side swept bangs are a great indication of her work.
I went in knowing I need a change. Since the birth of my son a few years ago, my hair has totally changed. It's now lack luster and the brunette color is more mousy than marvelous. To make matters worse, my current pregnancy is leaving my locks lifeless.
Kelley took one look and knew what to do:
Add more layers.
Thin out sections of my heavy hair.
Make a more defined bang so that even if I wore it in a pony tail, I'd still look styled.
Create a wash and go look that would be just as fetching styled as it would air-dried.
But the treatment that really revitalized my tresses was the moisture rich color rinse that was chosen just a shade darker than my natural hair color. It is semi permanent, but safe for pregnant women as it is all-natural and protein packed. It provided a luster and sheen that I hadn't seen in my hair for several months.
A few snips and a blow out later, I was a new woman. Speaking of blow out, this woman has skills. She walked me throw every step so that I could easily recreate the look at home. So often that's my frustration when going to a salon. I can never get it to look as good as it did when first styled. But with Kelley' tips and a little practice, I know I can get there.
As seen on ABC 7 eyewitness news, she offers a blow dry boot camp to helps moms achieve salon results at home. Worth checking out if your part of the round brush challenged crowd like I was.
Pricing is based on hair type and cut, but starts at $50. And color rinse start at $40. Parking is validated for three hours, so take your time.
Hungry? Thirsty? Order lunch or a cocktail from the popular Trader Vics http://www.beverlyhilton.com/Dining/trader_vic.asp while getting your treatment and make an afternoon of it.
Moms, share your hair make over stories with us. How did you get the life back into your locks post baby?

Rycord History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Rycord reached English shores for the first time with the ancestors of the Rycord family as they migrated following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Rycord is based on the Old German name Ricard, meaning powerful and brave. [1]
Early Origins of the Rycord family
The surname Rycord was first found in the Domesday Book of 1086 where the singular name Ricard was recorded. [2] Later in Norfolk, Richardus Basset was listed 1127-1134. [3]
In Yorkshire, they held a family seat at Hatfield being ancient Lords of the manor of Ricard or Rycard. Over on the Isle of Wight in Yaverland, a small branch of the family was found at one time. "An ancient mansion of the Russells here, subsequently of the Richards family, and now a farmhouse, is a good specimen of the Elizabethan style." [4]
Up in Scotland, the first record was of Thome filius Ricardi who had a charter of the barony of Symundestone in the sheriffdom of Lanark from Robert I, c. 1315-1321. Laurence filius Ricerdi was a tenant of the earl of Douglas in Louchurde in 1376 and John Ricardi held land in Aberdeen in 1451. [5]
Early History of the Rycord family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Rycord research. Another 131 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1086, 1379, 1817, 1641, 1668, 1643, 1705, 1694, 1692, 1669, 1709, 1673, 1721, 1630, 1654, 1564, 1643, 1705, 1527, 1522 and 1728 are included under the topic Early Rycord History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Rycord Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Rycord are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Rycord include Richards, Richard, Ricard, Rycard and others.
Early Notables of the Rycord family (pre 1700)
Distinguished members of the family include William Richards, Captain and Vice Admiral of Kent; Ralph Richards, rector of Helmdon, Northamptonshire from 1641 to 1668; and his son, William Richards (1643-1705), an English clergyman and author; and John Richards (died 1694), English-born, colonial military officer, businessman, politician, and magistrate in America, best known for his participation in the Salem witch trials in 1692.
John Richards (1669-1709), was a British Major-General...
Migration of the Rycord family to Ireland
Some of the Rycord family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Migration of the Rycord family
Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Rycord, or a variant listed above: Thomas Richards Jr., who arrived in Nantasket, MA in 1630, aboard the "Mary and John"; William Richards who arrived in Virginia in 1635; Robert Richards, who arrived in Barbados in 1634.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Honore et amore
Motto Translation: With honour and love.

John Zorn's The Bagatelles
(Performance Space, City, University of London. 11 April 2022. Review and top photo by Peter Slavid)
Not yet a subscriber of our Wednesday Breakfast Headlines?
Join the mailing list for a weekly roundup of Jazz News.
The name of John Zorn tends to elicit extreme reactions from jazz fans. For some, he's one of the greatest of jazz composers and producers of our time…for others, his music is just too darned difficult and dissonant. And both are, to some extent, right. Maybe the negative reactions need to be tempered, however. Although Zorn himself is a challengingly fierce free improviser, and many of the bands he invites to play his music are the same – his composing is far from extreme. His melodies are often simple, they're pretty, sometimes they can even be a bit cheesy. But what they do is to create an environment which inspires improvisers.
In 2015 Zorn composed 300 new tunes that were eventually collected into a book of music he called The Bagatelles. He invited a number of groups and individuals to create music based on these compositions and amongst them was his long-term collaborator Sam Eastmond.
This free event in the small, socially distanced City University performance space, was described as part-gig, part-workshop, part work in progress – but none of that showed. It helped that Eastmond had gathered together an outstanding collection of musicians who played his tricky arrangements with real gusto and enjoyment. He manages to create some delicious harmonies from the four-brass, four-sax front line, as well as plenty of equally impressive dissonances. The music is certainly complex, but always with a driving rhythm behind it that had the audience tapping their feet even in the fiercest of improvised sections..
Each of the musicians (full list below) made strong individual improvised solos, as well as contributing to the ferocious collective improvisations.
This was the first UK outing for this music, and if it was still work in progress there's no doubt how impressive the final version will be. This is all part of Zorn's overall vision for his Bagatelle project, and at some stage Sam Eastmond will get the music recorded, and we can look forward to hearing the end-result.

Anne Hathaway Does the 10-Year Challenge in the Most Perfect Way
Have you joined the millions of people around the globe taking the 10-Year Challenge? If not, it might be time to join celebrities and non-celebrities alike in showing how you've changed in the last 10 years! Anne Hathaway proves there is more than one way to complete the 10-year challenge.
What is the 10-year challenge?
The challenge is a somewhat controversial look back at how we've aged. Originally called the "How Hard Did Aging Hit You Challenge", it is sweeping across social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Many stars across the globe have taken part, with Reese Witherspoon among the first to share.
Some participants choose to share photos that 'prove' how much they haven't aged, some like to include their kids in the challenge, others add a bit of hilarity, and still others use it to show off their sense of style.
Anne Hathaway proves that some challenges don't show on the outside
The gorgeous Anne Hathaway has completed the 10-Year Challenge in her own utterly perfect way.
Hathaway a
ccepts the challenge
Photos of the actress at the 2009 and 2019 Golden Globe awards show how much she hasn't changed physically in the last decade. However, she has experienced major changes on the inside during that time. As she explains in her Instagram caption, she was very insecure and lacked confidence in 2009. Contrast that with the confident, glowing 2019 version of the actress this year.
Difficult times in the past
Things haven't always been positive for Hathaway. In fact, she even made #11 on our "The Most Hated Actresses of All Time" list.
After losing 25 pounds for her role of Fantine in Les Miserables, Hathaway was left both physically and mentally drained. The already slender actress practically starved herself in order to play the emaciated, frail, and destitute prostitute who is being consumed by tuberculosis.
It may have been a painful process but her dedication did win the actress an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Unfortunately, it also left her feeling emotionally traumatized. Hathaway's successful career didn't alleviate her anxious feelings of inadequacy and insecurity.
How does Hathaway handle criticism now?
The newly confidant actress generally ignores what critics are saying about her now. Her advice to them? "Everybody's entitled to their opinion. What I appreciate is when the negativity has some intelligence behind it. What I don't like is lazy negativity. If you're going to take someone down, have a point of view! Be witty, maybe pun a little!" We couldn't agree more, Anne!

Kenji Mizoguchi – Sanshô dayû AKA Sansho the Bailiff (1954) (HD)
Sansho Dayu… is the triumphant summation of Mizoguchi's style and themes, as well as the most compassionate response imaginable to those atrocities which had been committed in then very recent years, in Japan and all over the world. It is the most humanist of films, but it asserts that humanism is powerless without politics, just as politics is purposeless without humanism. The last sequence is the most perfect ending in cinema, so broad in implication, so exquisite in form. The reunion of mother and son – the revelation of human love – is at once the most important thing in the world, and an event insignificant against the panorama of human suffering. The double perspective – never to see things in isolation, always in context – is assured by Mizoguchi's style, and defines his art. Sansho Dayu is, in Gilbert Adair's words, "one of those films for whose sake the cinema exists".
Alexander Jacoby, Senses Of Cinema.com
…In its 2 hours and 5 minutes, "The Bailiff" covers almost 20 years of family history. The expanse of time is necessary to accommodate the accretion of events that change people—not to define character so much as to let them submit, to become a part of their environment. In Mizoguchi's world, the end of living is to achieve minimal differentiation from the landscape — like the daughter walking to her watery death or the mother sitting at the edge of the sea.
"The Bailiff" is a film of breathtaking visual beauty, but the conditions of that beauty also change — from the ethereal delicacy of its beginning (before the kidnapping), through the dark masses of the Bailiff's compound, to the ordered perspectives of Kyoto and the governor's palace, and finally to the spare symbolic horizons at the end.
In effect, it moves from easy poetry to difficult poetry. Its impulses, which are profound but not transcendental, follow an esthetic program that is also a moral progression, and that emerges, with superb lucidity, only from the greatest art.
Roger Greenspun, NY Times, December 17, 1969
…The clinical detachment with which the camera views the characters of Sisters of Gion is replaced in the late films by an extremely complex tension between contemplation and involvement. The camera moves in the great majority of shots in Sansho dayu , sometimes identifying us with the movements of the characters, sometimes (perhaps within a single shot) withdrawing us from them to a contemplative distance. The film's famous closing scene contains particularly beautiful examples in the two shots that frame it: in the first, the camera begins to move with Zushio at the moment he hears his mother's voice and is drawn towards it, then cranes up to watch the movements towards reunion, until the mother is also visible within the frame; in the last shot of film, the camera moves upward away from the reunited couple, to reveal the vast seascape and the solitary figure of the old seaweed-gatherer, his task now completed.

14 Jul Living Is an Endeavor We Mustn't Take on Alone
THE ROOTS OF WORDS travel deep into the past, like the roots of trees which travel deep into the soil that is home.
To understand the essence of a word takes looking at the word from the surface and how it's used now — like the leaves of a tree which lend beauty to the Earth. Yet there's more to a word than what's on the surface.
A word's intricate roots below the surface connect to history, to the original source of language, and to a well of knowledge and life.
The poet Jane Hirshfield writes in her article "Poetry, Permeability, and Healing," that at the root of the words healing and health "is the idea of wholeness."
I think of wholeness as a circle reconnecting; perhaps the facets of the self finding the inner harmony that a child is born with.
As a child, the mind, body, and soul intertwine before we bear the weight of living. But we need that burden to bear, as what often takes also creates. We aren't developed as a child — we haven't experienced the full breadth of existence nor the possibilities that will come.
The forward progress of life might weigh us down, but it also strengthens as we confront that energy, we match it, and we grow.
To be alive is a striving to become whole again; not a return to the naivety of a child, but a different type of wholeness that a healing soul exemplifies.
As we progress and continue to find harmony within ourselves, we may even heal the world in the process.
Harmony like the silence of dawn amid towering trees, where the energy is palpable, the roots run deep, the forest feels alive. We mustn't try to forget our past to become whole again.
Our past is part of the healing process; what we've endured makes us who we are, able to withstand future adversity like trees grown strong from roots which grab a hold deep within the Earth.
We don't live compartmentalized lives, writes Hirschfield, a sentiment which relates to the thoughts I've been considering for the last several years about seeking harmony within myself. What constitutes all that I am?
Are the mind, body, and soul separate parts of a single whole?
Is the solitary I something separate from we? As individuals we feel pain; we go through challenging experiences and seasons.
It can feel like the pain is a burden we must take on alone.
The worry, anxiety, the fracture of our self weighs heavily on our shoulders, and we feel split from the rest of the world.
But we aren't simply an individual I. Perhaps we see ourselves this way, but to reconnect, to complete the circle takes finding harmony amongst all of life, not only the facets of our individual being.
Personally I believe we're a part of something incomprehensible, as each of us connects to one another like cells in the human body. To heal as an individual — to become whole — takes connecting with nature, the source of life, and one another.
You don't hurt alone. I don't hurt alone. We mustn't heal alone.
Poetry, Hirshfield states, can be a part of that healing. I believe that too, as poetry is a means of connection to an abounding source of life.
Poems can be found, if they're looked for, addressing every realm of what in our lives can feel broken: the heart's injuries in the realms of intimate connection, in love, in friendship, in family,
Hirshfield writes.
The sense of isolation and separation from one's own participation in existence. The evasion of death, which is ultimately an evasion of life.
To become whole is not to forget or to ignore what's been endured.
It's respecting, perhaps even honoring that part of one's being that has endured the trials of life. The fear, the setbacks, the obstacles which at one point held us down, now embolden our spirit.
Perhaps with each challenge overcome, we're more able, permeable, to let life flow through us like a porous stone in the center of a flowing river.
We surrender, and let the good and the bad travel through our being without being knocked too far off of center.
It's hard for us to surrender anything.
The word has a negative connotation, as if when we surrender we're losing something important. But surrendering is letting go of what no longer serves us. We allow new life in, fresh water which renews our spirit.
As we become increasingly human — vulnerable, brave — we become more beautiful in the process from the inside out. We're all dealing with something, and to connect through our challenges makes living a compelling adventure we mustn't endure alone.
There is solace in recognizing that whatever happens to a person, someone before us has known it as well,
Hirshfield writes.
Poetry's evidence tells us that we are not singled out by our suffering; we are brought into the shared life of all who have lived and died before and with us.
Through practices like journaling, it can feel like our thoughts are novel, our problems are insurmountable, or at least enough to keep us up at night.
But those same words that spill from a wrestling heart arise somewhere on another page, like ink that's bled through to elucidate our unseen connections.
Still, journaling, writing, life, can feel like a solitary endeavor.
And in a sense, it is.
Nobody must know my insecurities or doubts, my shame; even my smallest victories that I write on the page. Nobody knows the thoughts that I interact with on a daily basis.
Until they're shared; until I speak my mind and attempt to break through the veil which we call routine.
Perhaps to keep our thoughts, our troubles, our fear for ourself is to deprive another soul who only needs to see that somebody else is healing, too. Writing is healing, sharing is courageous, living is an endeavor we mustn't take on alone.

WASHINGTON — The second-ever national March For Our Lives will take place at the Washington Monument on Saturday, June 11 from 10 a.m. until noon. According to the event permit, there are activities scheduled related to the march from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
"Together, we rose up 4 years ago. 1 million of us demanded change. We built a movement. We voted for new leaders. And the gun deaths increased," the organization tweeted. "Now is the moment we march again."
RELATED: 'It's going to take more risk, more disruption' | Parkland dad says today's March for Our Lives is meant to make legislators uncomfortable
Organizers estimate that at least 50,000 people will participate in the event in D.C., according to the event's permit through National Park Service.
News of the announced march initially came just days after an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 21 people, including 19 children.
Robb Elementary School has nearly 600 students in the second, third and fourth grades. Typically, students in those grades are between 6 and 10 years old. The vast majority of students at Robb Elementary are Latino.
All of the children killed were in the same fourth-grade classroom, where the shooter barricaded himself Tuesday and opened fire on the children and their teachers, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a news conference
March For Our Lives | Rally for gun reform after surge in mass shootings
Four years ago, the March For Our Lives filled the streets of D.C. Thousands joined voices to demand real answers to an epidemic of gun violence. The student-led march took place in D.C. on March 24, 2018, a little more than a month after a deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
The original March For Our Lives was a protest to demand gun control legislation. In the decade since the horrific shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, there has been no successful action on the Congressional level, according to Todd Belt, the Director of the Political Management Program at George Washington University.
"That's absolutely true if we look at Congressional legislation," he said. "There have been some new laws and regulations that have been sent through Executive Orders. But when it comes to Congressional legislation, nothing has happened since Sandy Hook."

This is pretty difficult. At first i thought this was an easy subject to write as my first blog entry, but it was not.... how can i choose just one favorite game? i had so many, from many different platforms, different genres, different eras.
Im going to tell you about one that represents my favorite era of gaming: Contra Hard Corps for the Sega Genesis.
It was summer 1995, all the kids on the neighboorhood were outside playing soccer, or at the beach, or simply enjoying their vacations. Meanwhile me and my best friend were working our asses off to buy a new game for our Sega Genesis.
January and February passed by and we finaly make enough money to buy our desired game! after checking every gaming magazine (just one) and asking other guys who had a Genesis (just two) we decided to buy Gunstar Heroes. It looked amazing, it was 2 played co-op, had lots of bullets and it was an exclusive for the Genesis! what could possibly go wrong, right?
"What do you mean our money is not enough?" asked my buddy to the shop clerk. "exactly that, is not enough for the game you want" he responded. We were floored... we didnt had a backup plan, and we cant keep working because school starts next week. "why do you want that game? you know is kinda rare right?" No Mr. Smartass shopclerk, we didnt knew.
Maybe the sight of two 12 years old kids despairing wasnt his prefered way to start the day, so he blurted "B-But if you want something for 2 players i reccomend this one. Some kid trade it back because it was too hard for him, but maybe you two can play it"
"Isn't that a Nintendo game?" we asked. In our minds Contra, Ninja Turtles, Final Fight, Castlevania and Mega Man were made by the same company, for the same console. "no, its not from Nintendo, its from Konami, and it came out some months ago. You want to check it?" We nodded and he put it on the Genesis he had.
5 minutes later we were walking home with it and excitedly talking about what we just had seen. "Did you see that truck running over those bad guys?!? It had 4 characters to select! IT HAD A WOLFMAN!"
And the rest it was just the amazement 2 kids playing co-op in a run and gun game could provide. Sure, the game was hard as hell, and i believe the first day we didnt even pass the first stage. But we keep playing, everyday after school, for like 2 months. And then we finally finished it! the damn Alien queen-heart-thingie exploded and we were patting our backs and exchanging high-fives. "Another round?" i asked, and we started again. But this time, my friend told me "hey man, you know that after the first stage that cyborg enemy talk about something and we just press the buttons? what does it say?"
It was a pretty good question. We had no idea of english and just mashed buttons on any part with a dialog. But this time we took our time, try to read, bring an english-spanish dictionary and figured out what this misterious english thing mean. "It says something about rescue someone... wait... you can move?!? HEY MAN, YOU CAN MOVE AND CHOSE ANOTHER OPTION HERE!" Our minds were blown off... we had that game for more than 2 months and just now realized that it had branching paths.
Well, that's my story with my favorite 16bit game. Sure, we played a lot of others like Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3, The Sonic series, Vectorman, Ristar, and another co-op gem like World of Illusion Starring Mickey and Donald. And before Contra, that was my favorite co-op game. But after it, the bar was raised.
Thanks for reading, and well, keep gaming with the same enthusiasm you had as a kid!

On June 24, 2021, a high-rise in Surfside, near Miami collapsed killing at least eleven individuals as of today and leaving about 150 missing. The reason for the collapse of the 12-story, 156-unit apartment building remains unknown. Rescue crews continued working around the clock trying to locate survivors that may be trapped in the debris.
Rescuing survivors of collapsed buildings is dangerous because the structures are unstable and further collapse can result without warning as rescuers excavate searching for survivors. Firefighters have been carefully working to find survivors. In the last two days, three international rescue teams arrived at the scene. One team is from Israel and the other two teams are from México. They are helping with the rescue operations.
The team from Israel is made up from members of Israel's Defense Forces. There are about 10 members in their group.
There are two Mexican teams operating at the site.
One is Cadena and the other team are the TOPOS Azteca.
Who Are The Topos Azteca?
The Brigada Internacional de Rescate Azteca, Tlatelolco (BIRTA), or the TOPOS Azteca, are a volunteer rescue group formed spontaneously after the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City. The TOPOS, or moles in English, specialize in rescuing individuals from collapsed buildings. They have operated in El Salvador, in Japan in 1995, in Colombia in 1999, in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, in Indonesia in 2004, in Haiti in 2010 and in Nepal in 2015.
The TOPOS have garnered international recognition for their work in locating survivors and their expertise in excavating collapsed buildings.
There are two groups who use the name TOPOS. On September 20, 2017, Héctor Méndez, "El Chino" and one of the original founders of the original TOPOS held a press conference denouncing the other group of TOPOS who were holding fundraising events. According to Méndez, as volunteers they do not expect to be paid nor do they ask for funds.
The TOPOS Azteca do not accept donations. They wear the orange jumpsuits. Méndez, who was at the 1985 Mexico City rescue efforts is the founder of TOPOS Azteca.
The other group are the TOPOS Tlatelolco. It was founded by Fernando Alvarez, who was also at the 1985 site helping rescue victims. Alvarez' group dress in red jumpsuits and have a registered trademark on the word Topos in México. They raise funds through donations. According to their organization, they use the funds for lodging and meals while deployed in rescue operations.
Méndez' group, the TOPOS Azteca, pay their own expenses.
TOPOS Azteca In Miami
The Mexican rescue squad that is helping locate survivors in the collapsed building are the TOPOS Azteca, the one who use orange jumpsuits. Héctor Méndez is leading the group.
The Facebook page for the Alvarez TOPOS did not respond to multiple requests for clarification on whether their group was participating in rescue efforts. Their social media makes no mention of them participating.
The Second Mexican Team
The second Mexican rescue team is from CADENA. El Comité de Ayuda a Desastres y Emergencias Nacionales (Cadena) was founded in 2005 to conduct rescue operations and provide humanitarian aid. The group was founded by five friends from Mexico City because of Hurricane Stan. They are inspired by the Jewish principal of Tikún olam, which means to "repair the world," according to their website.
In a Facebook Messenger exchange yesterday, CADENA confirmed that their "go team" is in Miami assisting in rescue efforts.
The news media has been reporting the presence of the TOPOS Azteca but have neglected the CADENA group as also assisting in the disaster.

Ever heard the saying, Never underestimate your opponent? Naturally, everyone wants to be ahead of the competition. A bit of healthy competition in the workplace never really harmed anyone, but when it turns into a full-blown war, you know you have a problem on your hands. Workplace competition is on the rise, with managers encouraging coworkers to go head-to-head for the next promotion or end-of-month bonus. A competitive environment can encourage coworkers to continual improvement, using each other's performances as inspiring guides. Some leaders view competition as a technique to maximize production, however, it can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety. A great manager understands how competition affects all employees and how to build competition in a positive way. Competition comes in two flavors. Direct Competition is a one-to-one experience that produces only one winner. Cooperative Competition occurs when a team works together to achieve a goal for the good of the group.
"Healthy Competition is good for all. Dealing with wins and losses in any competitive arena is like getting an immunity shot against disease."
Direct CompetitionA competition between two individuals can be destructive — if there can be only a winner, then there is always a loser. Too much competition in the workplace can lead to lower productivity, hard feelings, and loss of focus. Anger and even hostility can arise to a point where people or teams won't accept others' ideas.
The question among many leaders is, "Do I praise them or raise them?" Offering bonuses for work well done has always been part of the business climate. Some research suggests that praising an employee in front of his peers motivates him or her more than money. Of course, either approach may be better for a particular individual
Cooperative CompetitionWorking together as a team and helping each other release brain chemicals that enhance motivation, pleasure, and bonding. Working a personal best is also a healthy cooperative type of competition. Collaborative groups support each person's quest to excel. Together the team brainstorm ideas and implement strategies to pursue their goal.
Research suggests that team composition works best if teams are divided by gender or have an equal gender split. The feeling of being a minority in any team is a problem. For instance, a team of four men and two women often results in women contributing less. Mixed teams generate better ideas than single-sex teams. All-male teams are more likely to become overly competitive.Competition between employees is an unavoidable part of most people's work lives. Whether overtly or otherwise, most companies create a dynamic in which employees compete against each other for recognition, bonuses, and promotions.
"Working together and helping each other releases brain chemicals that enhance motivation, pleasure, and bonding," – Marilee B. Sprenger, author of The Leadership Brain for DummiesCompetition can motivate employees, make them put in more effort, and achieve results. It also increases physiological and psychological activation, which prepares the body and mind for increased effort and enables higher performances. But if leaders want to ensure that competition unleashes creativity and not unethical behavior, they must resist the temptation to lead through fear.

In both groups, we had 48 smoker patients, representing The patients who were both smokers and alcohol consumers represented We studied can hpv virus cure cancer tumoral markers on 52 cases of squamous cell carcinoma.
Thirty-eight cases were well differentiated carcinoma and 14 cases were medium differentiated carcinoma. Table 2. Hpv virus cervical cancer treatment, Can hpv virus cure cancer hpv virus cervical cancer treatment of tumoral markers in specimens of SCC studied We realised a correlation between the presence of the tumoral marker of a certain type positive and slowly positive results and the post-therapeutic evolution — local recurrence, nodal relapse, the occurrence of second cancers in upper aerodigestive upper ways and distance cure papilloma virus.
Sinonimele și antonimele cervical cancer în dicționarul de sinonime Engleză We have had patients who had more than one recurrence in the same time. Our can hpv virus cure cancer was to identify the correlations between markers of evolution and prognosis in tonsillar SCC. Our results indicate p53 protein and RBP protein as tumoral markers of unfavourable prognosis for post-therapeutic evolution in cure papilloma virus SCC.
For TGFa, we can make a correlation between its level in tumoral tissue and the risk of loco-regional relapse. For the HPV identification in tumoral tissue, we used the identification of capsid p16 protein, so we cannot make definitive conclusions referring at the presence or absence of HPV in the tumoral tissue for patients hpv virus cervical cancer treatment tonsillar SCC.
But we realised a correlation between the cure papilloma virus of HPV and the type of post-therapeutic evolution Figures Figure 1. The presence cure papilloma virus RBP protein 48 positive and slowly positive cases was associated with local recurrence in 29 cases The presence of TGF protein 41 positive and slowly positive cases was associated with local recurrence in 18 cases The presence of HPV capsid protein 14 positive cases was associated with local recurrence in nine cases Figure 6.
Tumoral markers in evolution of tonsillar SCC result of our retrospective study From our data, we can certify as prognostic factors in tonsillar SCC: Hpv virus cervical cancer treatment stage, N stage, can hpv virus cure cancer or not an elective type of clinical negative neck N0, type of neck dissection, the total dose of radiotherapy.
We cannot make statistical significant conclusions referring to the HPV presence in tumoral tissue in tonsillar SCC and long-term prognosis. Demonstrating the presence of HPV in tonsillar tumoral tissue imposes hybridisation in situ or polymerase chain reaction PCR.

E-mail: moc. We report the detection of HPV 52 in a sample taken from a year-old patient with cure papilloma virus cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva of the left eye. The method used for the detection of HPV was hpv virus cervical cancer treatment time polymerase chain reaction.
Cure papilloma virus evolution was favorable after surgical removal of the tumor and the patient was explained that long-term follow-up is essential to avoid recurrence. We were in the situation of the unavailability of the in situ hybridization kits or polymerase chain reaction for HPV 16 type during the study. Implicarea genomului papiloma virusului uman hpv în oncogeneza cancerului cervical We have to mention the high cost for identifying viral markers.
Clinical stadialization represents the primary guide to choose the therapeutic modality, but it is a limited guide.

The method used for the detection of HPV was real time polymerase chain reaction. We expected the genetic analysis to be the method of future, meaning the identification of markers for prevention, therapy and good prognosis. Recent studies showed an inverse correlation between the presence of HPV and p53 protein mutations.

My World View - Statement of what I Believe
by Norman Tew
This is not a doctrinal statement in the usual form. Maybe it does not cover in precise manner all the beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church. However I think it does give a background picture in which the beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church are placed. And the result of understanding those beliefs. Thus I present this statement of my personal understanding of the world as it is came into being, what developed and how it is now.
God made a perfect world and placed in it two perfect people. He told them to take control and rule the world in accordance with his directions. He daily visited them to give them instructions.
An enemy came in who had already rebelled against the leadership of God elsewhere. He persuaded the two people in this world that they could not trust God, but that he could guide them in a better way.
The result of this was pain and suffering, but God in love did not destroy the rebels but laid a plan to draw them back to himself. Down through the ages he sent messengers to guide the people how to live better lives, but over and over again their words were rejected.
However a few listened and when God came in the form of Jesus to live here among us, there were a few who accepted his words. In dying, God took the natural result of our sins and exchanged our reward for his reward. The apostle Paul wrote, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him". 2 Cor 5:21
Christ died for all men, his sacrifice was sufficient to cover all. However the Bible makes it plain that there are those who will not benefit from His Gift. It has to be accepted into the life.
Those who accept God's gift of a new life will seek to live according to the guidance that God has given in his word, not as a means of salvation but as a result of their salvation.
The sin and suffering in this world is not God's plan. It is not because he is unable to stop it, but because he is giving us all a chance to make our own decisions for him, or against him. Why he has given so long I do not fully understand, but I believe it has to do with revealing to all the universe the true results of rebellion.
Soon God is coming back to make an end to the rebellion and make all things new. At that time he will cleanse all sin and wrong and all the results of evil from this world and make all things new. In that new world he will place those who have accepted his salvation. All those who chose to follow their own way (which is Satan's way of evil) will acknowledge their situation and that God is just and they will be destroyed in the fires that cleanse this earth.
May God guide each reader that they too will accept the Gift that he offers freely to all.

For a variety of reasons, clients often ask the question: which web browser should I use? It's a complicated area with a long and storied history, but here's the short answer, for now.
With the release of Windows 10 in 2015, Microsoft deemphasized Internet Explorer (IE) and began pushing its replacement, Microsoft Edge. Unfortunately, Edge wasn't quite ready for prime time at that point, and this allowed Google an opening, which they took. This, along with improvements in Chrome, meant, and still means, an increasing number of web pages aren't even tested with IE anymore. With that, more and more pages don't work well, or at all, with IE.
Google has a dominant share of the browser market now. Most web pages work well with it, and since it's available on both Windows and MacOS, it's a good cross-platform browser for both Windows and MacOS.
A 2020-21 update: Microsoft rewrote Edge on the same base and Google Chrome, and made many other improvements that make it quite capable, and better than Chrome in many ways. Chrome extensions now work unaltered in Edge. It is also available for all platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, so it's a good cross-platform choice.
Firefox and Opera and other web browsers have their following, but their market share is in the low single digits. There are lots of arguments for and against Chrome based on other factors than usability, to be sure, but a browser you can't use might as well not be there at all. Safari is an excellent browser and Apple continues to improve it. However, as an Apple-only program, its market share is low.
So, for now, Chrome or Edge.

A mother naming her daughter Marijuana Pepsi? One is left wondering why on earth would a mother pick such a name so out of the ordinary when she could have picked something less complicated.
Growing up, Marijuana Pepsi could not hide from the constant teasing, especially in junior high. Although she kept questioning why her mom gave her such an odd name whereas her sisters were named Kimberly and Robin she refused to change it. Roll calls were her worst nightmare.
"Every single class, the teacher is taking attendance out loud, and as they slowly get down through the J's, I'm just like here it comes. 'Marianna? Marijuana?' And all the students turn to see who it is," she said.
But her mother had her reasons. Apparently, she believed her name would take her places and indeed she was right about it. The 46-year-old is happily married to her husband Fredrick Vandyck and they have four children her 16-year-old son, as well as three children and a grandchild.
She got used to the teasing and used it to her advantage. Pepsi went ahead and dedicated her thesis on the topic: "Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviours and student perceptions." In her dissertation, she spoke with other Black students who had unique names. They also opened up about those tense moments when teachers would pause on their names during roll call.
Today, she is proud to call herself Dr Marijuana Pepsi as she now holds a PhD in Leadership for the Advancement of Learning and Service in Higher Education after graduating from Wisconsin's Cardinal Stritch University in May. In a way, she thanks her mother, and she admits her name somehow moulded her into a strong woman.
"I've grown into my name because I am a strong woman. I've had to be," she said.
She noted that she wanted to prove to the world that despite having a rather unique name, she could make it in life, and no, she doesn't smoke and love of soda that much.

Talking therapy is often complemented by walking therapy
Sometimes getting outside in the fresh air and walking as you talk can really help a conversation to flow. It's the same for therapy.
In a mental health survey by charity Mind, 71% of people said they felt less depressed and tense after a 'green walk'. 90% said their self-esteem increased after a country walk.
At The Therapy Room, we offer a range of individual and group setting ecotherapy techniques, including:
• Walk and talk • 4x4 adventure therapy • Park meet and greet
Because being connected to nature and being outside helps people feel better, many report that it's easier to talk about feelings, thoughts and experiences.
If you want a different kind of therapy, it might help to get outside for some adventure. Especially ideal if you work in an office or are inside most of the day, some fresh country air can really help. At The Therapy Room, we are always looking for new and better ways to help.
Why it might be easier to walk and talk
- Physical movement eases your nerves
- Fresh air encourages clear thinking
- Seeing the beauty of nature can be uplifting
What's 4x4 adventure therapy?
Organise a pick up in a Land Rover Defender and go for a walk out in the wilds of nature for something different. While it requires a little extra time and investment, the feeling of getting out for some adventure is worth it.
How does a park meet and greet work?
Meeting somewhere closer to you can make life easier when scheduling counselling in Northampton and surrounds. Maybe you are juggling kids and work, or a busy schedule. We are happy to come to you. A great option for group therapy, it's a great way for teams to come together too.

Taking a bath is one of the simplest, and oldest forms of self care. In fact, usually when we speak or think about self care, our first image tends to be taking a bath. While bathing is relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating, your evening bath time is good for your body in more ways than you might think, with many studies claiming that bathing benefits every system in the body.
Lung and Cardiac Health
Did you know that taking a hot bath isn't just detoxifying — it can also improve cardiovascular health by increasing your heart rate. Equally, the temperature of the water and also the pressure of the water on your chest are beneficial to the health of your lungs.
Nervous System Healing
The nervous system and brain also benefit from bathing. Submerging the body in water can reduce inflammation and ease the central nervous system. In terms of temperature, an age-old remedy recommends bathing in room temperature water as a way to calm the mind and body.
Circulation and Digestion
Bathing is also extremely good for your blood and circulation. Taking a warm bath improves blood flow throughout your entire body, which can also aid in digestion. To further aid your body, choose a soak that has ingredients that provide extra support.
We love our Exheal™ medicinal saffron salt bath, which offers a unique formulation that provides relief from bloating, increases circulation, and aids in digestion.
Immunity Boosting
Bathing in water is also an amazing option if you're coming down with something. For example, a hot bath boosts your immunity and can kill bacteria. Specifically, choose a temperature that's above your body temperature. However, bathing in cold water can be extremely rejuvenating and energizing. Experiment with both to discover the most healing bath temperature for your body.
Skin Health & Hydration
While bathing has many internal benefits, externally your body benefits as well! While an obvious one — bathing is hydrating — and is incredibly moisturizing to your hair, skin and eyes. If you're looking to turn bathing into a clean beauty ritual, choose a soak that has active ingredients that benefit the skin. For example, our Inheal™ probiotic saffron milk bath has goat whey protein, natural probiotics, and essential oils that nourish the skin and also balance the skin's pH levels and microbiome.
Bathing Versus Showering
If you're looking for further evidence, this randomized study conducted on the physical and mental effects of consistent bathing, demonstrates the difference in health between showering and bathing over a two week period.
After the two week period of consistent bathing, the average person reported an improvement in overall health and skin conditions, as well as an overall decrease in fatigue, stress, and pain.
After two weeks of showering, there was still a small improvement but not much in comparison to bathing.
How Can You Incorporate Bathing Into Your Life?
Adding bathing into your daily self care routine has many benefits. Even a short bath can be calming and a great way to slow down, unwind and transition from the chaos of a workday to the calm of night time. It is a healing, soothing, and easy ritual. If you've more time, a cleansing bath with Epsom salts can help soothe sore muscles from a workout, and cleanse the body of everything it's picked up on throughout the course of the day. Epsom salt baths can also be very detoxifying, as the salt and heat cause you to sweat. You might find that different temperatures feel better to your body, or that you like to incorporate other wellness rituals into your bathing routine like dry brushing, meditation, or skincare. Find a schedule and practice that works for you and let this ancient ritual work its magic.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are beating to their own drum, and that's precisely why we love them!
Following their engagement news, Kensington Palace prefaced their upcoming wedding by telling the public it will "reflect their characters and personalities"—aka their big day will probably go against many of the longstanding traditions in the royal family.
And, to be honest, we wouldn't expect anything less!
In fact, with the announcement of their wedding date on May 19, 2018, they're already going against royal tradition.
Let's dive in...
The Selected Day: First and foremost, Prince Harry and Meghan have set their wedding for a Saturday. That right there goes against traditions that have withheld even through Kate Middleton and Prince William's wedding.
Royal weddings are typically held during the week. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wed on a Friday, while Queen Elizabeth wed on a Thursday. Prince Charles wed Princess Diana on a Wednesday. However, his wedding with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, fell on a Saturday.
The Date Itself: Many royal experts assume Harry and Meghan chose May to avoid it overlapping with Kate's pregnancy (she's due in April). However, the date happens to overlap with a couple other big moments for the royal family.
For starters, May 19 of next year is the same date as the Emirates FA Final Cup, Britain's historic and most prestigious soccer cup competition. To make matters even more interesting, Prince William has been the president of the Football Association since 2006 and typically attends the game and presents the winning team with their trophy.
Regarding the overlap, the president of the FA tells E! News, "Saturday 19 May promises to be a wonderful day with such a special royal occasion being followed by English football's showpiece event, the Emirates FA Cup Final. With millions coming together to watch both events at home and around the world, it will be a day to celebrate."
Furthermore, May 19 also marks a historic day in the royal family. In 1536, Anne Boleyn—the second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I— was executed on Tower Green for alleged adultery. This doesn't necessarily break any traditions, but it's interesting nonetheless.
The Cake: Nothing has been confirmed just yet when it comes to Harry and Meghan's choice of cake. However, many rumors have been circulating that it will be made with banana—another move that goes against tradition! A multi-tiered fruitcake is typically served at royal weddings.
So what's the story with the banana?
Well, Harry grew up loving all things banana—including banana flan and banana ice cream—according to former royal chef Darren McGrady. And, shortly after reports began running about Harry and Meghan's relationship, the actress shared a photo of two bananas snuggling.
"Sleep tight xx," she captioned the pic, which many people assumed was her way of confirmed her relationship with Prince Harry.
And Then There's the Obvious: Not that we have to remind you, but Meghan is a commoner, which—despite all the royals who have married commoners before Harry—is technically still against tradition. She's also an American citizen, and therefore, she'll have to go through the process of becoming a citizen of the U.K. after the couple ties the knot.
Furthermore, Meghan will be baptized and confirmed in the Church of England, where the Queen is head, ahead of their wedding.
