Top 5 Bibles for Under 5's
What are your TOP Bibles or books for your kids?
Click the pictures to find on Amazon.com
What would you class as a 'good' Bible for kids?
For me, it would involve 3 things:
1) It keeps their attention - written well, not too heavy or wordy.
2) It's illustrated well - fun and memorable and diverse. I'm not a big fan of Bible's depicting all the people as white and western.
3) It's true to the original story, while encouraging imagination - it might rhyme, or have a baby bear as a narrator, or pad out the story a little more but we all need help understanding the context and picturing it, and so do children.
Here are our Top 5 Children's Bibles for Under 5's.
Tiny Bear's Bible, by Sally Lloyd Jones.
Great for 0-3's:
We've been reading this since the cubs were just babies. I'm constantly amazed by Sally Lloyd Jones' books. The soft fluffy cover was a great sensory bonus, and the short rhymes were simple and enjoyable. These 11 sweet stories start at creation and go to Jesus resurrection, including a line or two linking the story to us.
Bible for Little Hearts, by Elena Kucharik.
Great for 0-5's:
I love a great charity shop/thrift shop find! And this book is no exception.
You can currently find it in the used section on Amazon for a penny I think! There are many others in this collection too. Lovely simple verses to teach our little ones about God's words, with pictures relating it to our lives. It may not be diverse but it's super cute. It also has some little prayers in the back for little ones. Big thumbs up for this charity find.
The Stories Jesus Told, by Nick Butterworth.
Great for 2-5's:
This is one of our favourites. My son is 6 and still loves this book, now he can read a bit more he is enjoying it in a fresh way. The illustrations are fun, and each story includes the Bible reference as well as a fun retelling. We can often skip over the parables Jesus told, but this lovely book paints them in a way for us to relate them easily to our lives.
Children of God, Storybook Bible, by Desmund Tutu.
Great for 3-5's.
This is my favourite of all the Bibles we have. I love the pictures, each story is illustrated by a different artist, so there is a huge variety of colours, textures, styles and interpretations to the stories. It feels like a reflection of God's heart when you're pouring through the pages. We were given this beautiful Bible when my son was born. I've mentioned it's good for 3 years up as I learnt the hard way that when you have a kicking teething baby on your lap listening to you, the beautiful pages are too inviting not to rip! The stories are short, spreading only across 2 pages which makes it the best for under 5's.
The International Children's Story Bible.
Great for 2-5's.
I found this fun (although slightly poorly written!) Bible in a charity shop a few years ago. I usually have to re-word some of it so perhaps it shouldn't be in my TOP list BUT it includes illustrations by children from around the world which is what we love about it!! It's called the International Children's Story Bible and currently on Amazon for $1. I'd recommend it if just for the fun pictures and encouraging your kiddos to draw their own too.
You can never have too many children's Bibles I think.
There are many Bibles out there we still have yet to buy!
What's next on your list?
This one is next on my list: Children of Color Storybook Bible
It's really important to me that we are intentional and conscious of how we represent diversity in our household, from the toys we buy, the books we read and the Bible's we study.
Some others recommend:
The Veggie Tales version is fun and it comes recommended, though we have not yet bought it, my cubs love the shows so I'm sure they'd love this too.
A popular one is the Beginner's Bible, which I know many of my friends have. I personally find it frustrating if I'm honest. Although I love the stories and simple illustrations, for me the people are too white, I want my children to know that God's Story started in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Perhaps that's me over-analysing it but that's just my opinion.
Which Children's Bible do you currently love?
I hope you enjoy the Bibles we recommend. See the previous post for some ideas of how to bring the Bible to life with activities for kids of all ages.

Children's Health Insurance Program and Community Health Center Reauthorization/
Midnight on Saturday, September 30 passed and Congress still had not reauthorized funding for two important programs. Nearly 9 million children across the United States were left in limbo by this lack of action. And, Community Health Centers, which provide care for our most vulnerable and are vital in many rural areas, now wonder where their funding will come from PBS News Hour reported on the Health Centers last week and here's more information on CHIP:
The Kaiser Family Foundation released a series of Tweets outlining the impact that missing the deadline will have, and issued a report showing when states would run out of funding. At a meeting last week, Maryland officials said the state will run out of money for CHIP in February of 2018, but that is no reason why families should suffer with more "uncertainties."
Kelly Whitener from the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, explains how failure to extend funding by the deadline will threaten the stability of children's coverage.
The National Association of Medicaid Directors sent a letter to the Chairman of the Senate Finance and Energy and Commerce Committees, warning of potentially dire outcomes for some states if CHIP is not reauthorized.
A Congressional House Panel is expected to take up a proposal as early as Tuesday on CHIP, and the Senate released a bipartisan five-year bill to reauthorize the program, but there has been little discussion about how to pay for it, and a vote hasn't been scheduled.

If exiles wrote Cuba's constitution: Pitbull on the peso and an anthem sung by Celia
Feeling very emotional upon learning that the Cuban government wants Cuban Americans like me to weigh in on the writing of a new constitution, I set out to collect voices and ideas across Exileland — from the descendants of José Marti's path through Key West to the comrade who runs a mango stand in Slovakia.
It was an arduous journey, but well worth it. Everything, everything for the homeland!
We have so much to say. Thank you, Cuba!
We must show our gratitude for the six decades of sacrifice it took to get to this point, but most of all because, thanks to Castroism, the USA is my home. (Ay caramba, forgive me the old habit. We shouldn't bring up small things like that in historic times.)
Without further delay, here are our suggestions for a new Cuban constitution, a product of too much late-night TV and intense investigation into our national psyche, with special attention to how it manifests itself in Miami, heart of the exile community, and the state of things with, you know, the almighty gringos:
▪ The national anthem.
In the same vein that Americans think they'd be better off with "America the Beautiful," we propose replacing Cuba's with "La Ceiba y la Siguaraya." I vote for the version sung by Celia Cruz with the Ponce ensemble (Cubans and Puerto Ricans are, as the poem says, the wings on one bird) for this priceless line: "Nobody can silence my rumba." That's much better than starting a national anthem with a bunch of hillbillies running off to war. Plus, La Ceiba y la Siguaraya already has its Google group.
▪ National currency change.
From now on, all one-peso bills should be engraved with a new portrait: Pitbull's. The hip-hop artist might raise the value. For the rest, we can go classier, with Willy Chirino on the five-peso bills for his effort in keeping the faith with an exile anthem that kept assuring us "our time is coming." We'll take Gloria Estefan on the 20 for her bipartisanship and the song "Mi Tierra," salsa queen Celia on the 50 because life is a carnival, and Compay Segundo of Buena Vista Social Club on the 100 for pure swing.
▪ Education.
Any child who demonstrates political ideology will be bought a travel suit and a one-way ticket to Germany. Eliancito is banned from teaching, I'm sorry to say, but we'll offer him a scholarship to Miami Dade College to modernize and learn a new trade. Maybe he'll want to be an artist?
▪ Neighborhood watchdogs.
The Committees for the Defense of the Revolution will be abolished, to be replaced with a Best Buy Geek Squad on each block to help people with their tech problems. They will be appropriately renamed Committees for the Defense of the Robotlution. This will be necessary because reformists will be rewarded for their service to the homeland with a humongous flat-screen TV with all the channels available in America, and HD, of course.
▪ The food ration book.
It needs an app for smartphones — like now. It should come with a Tinder-like "ping" so that porn can be exchanged for food in hard times.
▪ Tourism.
Upon arrival, every American will be honored with a Cuban name that starts with the letter Y. As a reward for giving Cuba a hand lifting the embargo, they'll be assigned their own nudist beach — English-only, please — and we will put a Pizza Hut and Burger King on every resort from the Cabo de San Antonio to the Punta de Maisí. That, and a little tower for Donald Trump, ought to finish off the embargo. On the U.S. end, we'll make sure gringos are banned by U.S. Customs from bringing home any Che crap.
▪ Nomenclature.
The word "gusano" — the insult of choice against Cubans who left for the U.S. — will from now on be used only to refer to literal writhing-in-the-ground worms.
▪ Patriotic holidays.
Festivities will feature the music of Celia and Compay Segundo on the 10th of October (the date in 1868 when lawyer Carlos Manuel de Céspedes freed his slaves and called Cubans to arms to rid ourselves of Spain). On the 24th of February, when we launched a second independence war with El Grito de Baire, we really should expand our musical options and bring in Albita (with her What Fault Is it of Mine That I am Cuban) and Los Sobrinos del Juez with their salsafied version of American disco standards. Reggaeton, cubaton, rockason and all other concoctions liked by people with gold chains can have the rest of the year. But Cuban-government darling Silvio Rodriguez has to retire. Speaking of which, in the matter of slogans we repeat ad nauseum, relax the "We Will Be Like Che." From now on, our mantra is: "La nueva Cuba no es chea ," The new Cuba isn't tacky. This is to be echoed by chongas in Hialeah on the 20th of May, Cuban Independence Day.
▪ Miscellaneous.
The jutía (Cuban hutia, Capromys pilorides) will be recognized as an emotional support animal (even by United Airlines if it wants to fly here).
We will give every Cuban who turns in three 1957 Chevy Bel Airs a brand new Honda Accord. The Americans want their old cars back — and they're willing to throw in a power washer from Home Depot.
Finally, I think it's a great idea, dear little friends, to sell the island to Apple — and rename it Manzana. We're no longer a threat to anyone, we can't even help Maduro in Venezuela or Orteguita in Nicaragua, and Trump doesn't value us.
But the Nasdaq Exchange, now we're talking!
It is with great sentiment that I bid you adiós to the tune of a bolero,
P.S.: There was great debate about whether the new ration book should include a state-subsidized gallon of paint a month, available in all colors, except insanely bright green and pink, but no consensus. The one thing we all agreed on was that there was no way in hell any of us would renounce our rights as American citizens. Not even for a moonlit dip on the beaches of Varadero.

9. Parallel and Distributed Programming
Developing parallel or distributed applications is a hard task and it requires advanced algorithms, realistic modeling, efficient design tools, high performance languages and libraries, and experimental evaluation. This topic provides a forum for presentation of new results and practical experience in this domain. It emphasizes research that facilitates the design and development of correct, high-performance, portable, and scalable parallels program. Related to these central needs, we also welcome contributions that assess methods for reusability, performance prediction, large-scale deployment, self-adaptivity, and fault-tolerance.
- Parallel-programming paradigms, their evaluation and their comparison (threads, data vs task parallelism, etc.)
- Innovative languages for parallel and distributed applications
- Development and debugging tools for parallel programs
- Performance analysis, design and implementation of models for parallelism (CGM, LogP, etc.)
- Large-scale experiments and validation of parallel applications
- Methodological aspects of developing, optimizing and validating parallel programs (formalisms, semantics, specification, design, transformations, verification, etc.)
- Domain-specific libraries and languages (e.g., for simulation, irregular or unstructured domains, computational geometry)
- Parallel-programming productivity and pattern-based parallel programming
- Abstractions for patterns and usage models on distributed systems
- Parallel software reusability

In my second semester of 2016 I took a paper titled Operating Systems, which is a 300 level paper that deals with Operating Systems concepts and design. The majority of this paper focuses on the MINIX OS to provide examples of design decisions (e.g. microkernel vs. monolithic kernel) and as the system is reasonably small and manageable (relative to something like Linux) it allows for the code to be analysed and modified to learn more about it.
A core component of this paper is what is called the MINIX Project, where one must decide on some extension to add to the MINIX system and implement it as a way of demonstrate understanding of the system and to gain experience working on a large system like that of an OS. The project is worth 50% and spans across about 2 months or so.
For my project I chose to extend the existing MINIX File System to include journaling, ultimately turning it into a reliable, journaling file system. I learnt a lot while working on this project and consider it one of the most complex projects I have worked on while studying at university.
The source for my project can be found in a GitLab repository here, and contains:
The version of MINIX used is 3.1.0.

Project results
The first project phase was launched from scratch at the end of 2005. The pioneers — Oļģerts Belmanis, Lauris Cikovskis and Jānis Kūliņš, later accompanied by Artis Šteinbergs and Zigmārs Strods — were led by the professor Ilmārs Slaidiņš. The team started out studying and researching the Grid technologies which were little-known at that time, later the first servers were purchased resulting in a cluster of five computing nodes. As the number of servers grew, central Grid services and 16 cores for computation were offered, as well as 1 TB of Grid data storage at the end of the first project phase.
The second project phase of BalticGrid-II started in May 2008. This time, focus was on attracting users and transferring their research applications to Grid. Good cooperation was established with researchers from RTU and the Institute of Organic Synthesis that also used our technical support. Users from other Baltic States used our computing services, similar to Latvian users employing resources of other universities. The project resulted in two clusters with 48 cores in total.
We are also proud with our e-study course which was one of the most voluminous study aids developed within the BalticGrid-I and II. The course is also available after the project.
In the picture participants of the Grid team hold their diplomas signed by Ake Edlund, Managing Director of the BalticGrid project, for their contribution to the project.
Results in figures
The first graph represents the monthly load of Latvian Grid clusters (in CPU time) from 2006 until May 2010. The clusters are hosted by RTU and the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of Latvia.
The second graph shows the total CPU time broken down by the Latvian Grid clusters from January 2006 until April 2010.
The total amount of normalised CPU time of RTU Grid resources is 434 thousand hours, which equals nearly 50 years on one Pentium III, 1 GHz processor.

Something rare has occurred! No, I have not located a unicorned Pegasus. I have a local match that is over 90% on OkCupid! In fact, I have three!!!
What's so great about that, you might ask. Well, until recently all my high level matches were two hours away; I've only ever been pen pals with my above average matches.
What's all this match percentage nonsense, you may question. To get those percentages, OKC has questions you can answer, and then put weight on the answers. For instance, "Do you think homosexuality is a sin?" You can answer this question with a yes or a no for yourself, yes or no for what you want your partner to mark on their end, and weigh the question a little, somewhat, or a lot. They take all this data and feeds it into an algorithm that supposedly predicts how well you and other members would get along.
As I live in a small city that tends to have a more right leaning mentality than myself, it's hard to find matches above 80%. And now I have three!!!
They might not be as impressed with me as I am with them though. I've written to two out of three of my A+ candidates and only one has written back to me. The responder briefly answered a question I posed about books and then… silence.
I've mentioned this oddity of being so well matched and not getting much response to one of my long distance matches. He said he'd met some of the high matches, and usually anyone over 90% wasn't that great.
I'd still like to judge for myself.
Sooo… until Mr. 94% decides I'm as cool as he is (at least 94%), I'll keep scouring the dating sites for lesser matches.

identify guitar
Post by:
October 15, 2017, 06:59:17 PM
Anyone know what the model of this guitar is? It has no model number on it. Shoot I can't insert an image....anyone know how?
I did some research in the archive and checked it on you tube.....it looks like a WR-150....has the real thin cut away piece on the bottom of the body.....2 single coils, 1 humbucker on the bridge, chrome grovers. I've looked everywhere.....no serial number....only thing I haven't taken off is the neck.
I'm trying to figure out what pots and 5 way switch to buy......it has really small pots......half the size of the normal A500/B500 pots.
I bought it today for 5.00. The neck looks straight and the truss rod works.... I plugged it in and got no sound.....I clipped the wires off the middle pickup, off the 5 way switch, and hooked it to a guitar cord and amp.....the pickup works when I tap the magnets with a screw driver so I believe the pick ups work.
I'm trying to figure out which pots and 5 way switch to buy to replace.
Can you identify the pots and guitar model? If you know where I can get the pots and 5 way switch at a good price let me know....thanks.

Privileges Complaint
Opposition Leader Jenny Shipley has today written to the Speaker over claims made by Attorney General Margaret Wilson about a secret payout to John Yelash after he was slandered by the Prime Minister.
"There is a huge amount of public interest in the Prime Minister's use of a confidentiality agreement to gag a man she admits having defamed.
"Under intense questioning by myself and others in Parliament yesterday the Attorney General, Margaret Wilson, claimed Mr Yelash and his lawyers had made the request for the inclusion of an extraordinarily punitive confidentiality clause in the settlement.
"Peter Williams QC has subsequently come out publicly and taken the, again extraordinary, step of saying the Attorney General's assertion is a calumny - an absolute and complete lie.
"There is intense public interest in this matter, and in claims by the Prime Minister that she would set new standards - standards which are now found to be wanting. It is therefore important that the truth is established on this matter.
"I have accordingly taken the step of putting this matter before the Speaker of the House, and asking him to put it before the Privileges Committee where parties can be called to give evidence and the matter can be investigated," Mrs Shipley said.

"The trick always seems to be to switch from being inside your fear and finding something to do - even if it's a small step." - Tirtzah Bassel
Born and raised in Israel, going into college Tirtzah was planning on becoming a social worker.
During a heightened period of terrorism in Israel, Tirtzah took on a new perspective of how she wanted to spend her time on Earth.
Tirtzah now works as a visual artist based in Brooklyn who has developed her own form painting using duck tape and has her New York oil painting exhibit debut opening this week through May 10th at Slag Gallery in Bushwick.
You'll hear Tirtzah discuss her journey to becoming a professional artist, the importance of community, and that the time you spend waiting to be inspired is time you could use to do work you love:

Fouuntain Hills, AZ
Just trying to catch some shade before the race.
First racing of the season for me was this past weekend down in Phoenix, AZ, or more specific, Fountain Hills AZ. An absolute killer, but lots and lots of fun, really glad I made the trip. Competed in the time trial event on Friday, which was 6 miles of rolling fast terrain. Only 28 girls showed up for this event, lots of the larger names decided to opt out and save their legs for the later days. I figured that I flew all that way that I'd better get my moneys worth and do as much racing as possible. This was my first intensity of the season, and left my lung on the course, but ended up in eighth place. Saturday evening was the short track, and if you've been to AZ you know it starts getting dark really early and it happens really, really fast. Racing a high speed dirt race at night (with the aid of spot lights) is a pretty cool but somewhat sketchy experience. We had almost a full field with over 50 girls, still a few opting out and there were some pretty good crashes, lots of elbows flying, and a few no so nice curses. If you've never had the chance to watch a short track race, I'd recommend it, definitely a great spectator event.
Sunday, the hottest day of all, 31 degrees, ouch, was the XC. After sleeping in a little, hanging out in an air conditioned coffee shop and packing up our room, we headed to the course early to get ready. I warmed up with a couple bags of ice strategically placed in my bra and shorts, anything to keep cool. I was definitely tired from the last two days of killing myself and couldn't get my heart rate up, but my legs felt good. Maybe the no dairy diet works for lactic acid. With a bad call up, 5th row, and only about 100m before the single (of which the whole course was singletrack), even though I had a good start, I still found myself very far back in the pack. Gradually picking off many riders, I found myself in the top twenty coming through the first lap. Passing on this course is an art in itself, lots of sharp loose rocks and unfriendly cacti (I have the marks to show just how unfriendly). By the time I passed through the to go on my final lap, I was in 13th place, still feeling on top of the world and gaining fast on the Luna Chix in front of me. Then the wall of pain came so fast I didn't even see it coming and before I knew it my legs were starting to seize up and everything I'd eaten that day was coming up and out. Never a great feeling, that burning sensation in the back of your throat and then realizing that you're completely out of water. With less than a half lap to go, I lost about 6 spots, two of which I gained back near the end thanks to mechanical…..hey, I'll take whatever I can when I'm feeling like that, and finished up in 16th position.
Overall, I'm happy with the way things went this weekend, learnt a lot, know what I have to work on, and I'm super motivated to get outside and hit the training hard. Now if only it would ever stop snowing in Calgary.
Thanks to Zack and all the guys and gals at the Trek trailer for helping me out.

Overall, Caos Pidgin is used by Verdeans who tend to be multilingual, but use Caos Pidgin as their lingua franca & seek to spred its use over the Internet & other _CyberSpazi_ media (ConCulture date: 2068 CE). Verdean _CaosCultura_ - especially their _Soni-Creati_ - is very popular amongst young (& young-at-heart) rebels worldwide (especially in cultures & subcultures opposed to the insidious spread of _Globalista Anglo-Lingo_ and it's close rivals _Spano-Lingo_ & _Sino-Lingo_). Due to the use of CyberMedia & Internet, there are many non-Verdeans who are fluent in Caos Pidgin due to this. Some even have "earned" honorary citizenship - even with diplomatic status in some cases (to protect them from human rights abuses) - for their creative use & spreading of Caos Pidgin and CaosCultura. Thus what was a pidgin is really a creole (having had nearly 100 yrs of use). It is still being called "Caos Pidgin" out of local identity & a sense of historical pride. czHANg "It would be ironic if the answer to Babel were pidgin and not Pentecost." - George Steiner, _After Babel: Aspects of Language & Translation_

Aversion to Unhealthy Foods
If you are focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and yet you binge on snack food, or fast food, sugar or fatty or deep fried foods This Aversion to Unhealthy Foods meditation is for you because it works!
Aversion therapy is a form of behavioral-therapeutic treatment in which you the client are exposed to extremely negative associations while in a trance like state. While in the trance you are subjected to a form of mind shaping discomfort. This is a method of conditioning which is intended to cause you, the patient to associate the stimulus or unhealthy foods with unpleasant images and sensations in order to stop the specific unhealthy negative behavior. It works! When you see the bad food in the world, the images and sounds from the meditation immediately come to mind.
Our form of aversion therapy uses the imagination, a technique known as covert sensitization. Reference: Kraft & Kraft[1] assessed the value of covert sensitization in six case studies—a fingernail biter, a cannabis smoker, an obese lady, a cigarette smoker, an individual with a chocolate addiction and an alcoholic. The study showed that covert sensitization was a rapid and cost-effective form of treatment. All the individuals in the study eliminated their maladaptive behavior pattern, and this was maintained at follow-up.
Rochelle L. Cook's aversion therapy on this mediation is designed for those with unhealthy relationships to sugar, fatty foods, pastries, sweets and all manor of foods that do not serve your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
After you have purchased the meditation it will be available for instant download. We recommend putting it on at a specific time of day, do it at the same time everyday for the next 7 days. We recommend using headphones and listening to the meditation in a still quiet space.
Hypnosis Continues to Show Promise – APA
"Hypnosis works and the empirical support is unequivocal in that regard. It really does help people," says Michael Yapko, PhD, a psychologist and fellow of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
Reference: http://www.apa.org/monitor/2011/01/hypnosis.aspx
Your guide on this journey "The Get Off Sugar Guru" is Rochelle L. Cook MA., ChT., the author of the "The Soul's Coach – 7 Paths to healing Your Relationship".
Ms. Cook's book, workbook and journal are available on Amazon.
If you have found this mediation useful consider the book, and doing the work. If you are serious about transforming who you are in the world, do consider this work, as it has shown to be both: inspirational and life changing for many people.
"I've stopped my cravings for Macaroni & Cheese and high-calorie burritos… I plateaued on my weight, tried many diets, and realized I needed help to get me over this hump. This was a mental issue as I was exercising regularly, but eating too much. Rochelle and Michael have both stepped in to help me as I have a very analytical mind and an ability to fall asleep easily. Through this program, I've stopped my cravings for Macaroni & Cheese and high-calorie burritos. I really had to eat these items once a week – now not at all. I was resistive at first, not believing these cravings could stop, but after a session, I realized I didn't need those items. My awareness for what I'm eating and how much I'm eating has heighten. Rochelle really made me realize without pushing that I needed to count calories. She provided me ways of enjoying food. My confidence and self-esteem has increased as my fitness goal is now achievable." Thanks Rochelle & Micheal!

The Science
This meditation takes you from Alpha (7.5-14Hz) – The Deep Relaxation Wave to Theta (4-7.5Hz) – The Light Meditation And Sleeping Wave then Delta (0.5-4Hz) – The Deep Sleep Wave and back to Alpha on wake up.
Alpha brain waves are present in deep relaxation and usually when the eyes are closed, when you're slipping into a lovely daydream or during light meditation. It is an optimal time to program the mind for success and it also heightens your imagination, visualization, memory, learning and concentration. Theta brain waves are present during deep meditation and light sleep, including the all-important REM dream state. It is the realm of your subconsciousness and only experienced momentarily as you drift off to sleep from Alpha and wake from deep sleep (from Delta).
It is said that a sense of deep spiritual connection and unity with the universe can be experienced at Theta.
The Delta frequency is the slowest of the frequencies and is experienced in deep, dreamless sleep and in very deep, transcendental meditation where awareness is fully detached.
Delta is the realm of your unconscious mind, and the gateway to the universal mind and the collective unconscious, where information received is otherwise unavailable at the conscious level.
Caution: Self hypnosis is not intended to be a substitute for seeking medical advice or visiting: a medical practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist or any other relevant health or alternative health therapist. If you are receiving treatment for clinical depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, or any other diagnosed disorder, you must discuss using hypnotic scripts from this, or any other site with your health practitioner before you commence any hypnosis or self hypnosis sessions.

A survey by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport found that only 40 per cent of those in the lowest employment bracket attended an arts event in the past year compared with 84 per cent of those in the highest. As a report by the Adam Smith Institute points out, the DCMS has a pretty loose definition of art, including street arts and any "live music performance".

All systems are "GO" for our upcoming Operation International-ORV "Adventure Team" project in the Upper Gorkha Region (earthquake epicenter) of Nepal.
Team members are departing the USA on 12/6, returning on 12/17. We're buying our air tickets this week.
We have been told to expect over 1,000 patients, possibly as many as 1,500, with 100+ surgeries for our field surgery camp in the remote village of Machhakhola. It will take us 3 days to get there from Kathmandu, one full day by 4WD vehicle followed by two days trekking. Our equipment must be transported by porter and mule caravan. We are working in cooperation with a team from Himalaya Eye Hospital, as with our past outreach projects. The plan is to extract the USA team by helicopter to attend the new Eye Hospital inauguration on 12/15 in Bhakundebesi, Nepal. Daniel Byers has signed on the make a short documentary film of the project.

Opinion | Most closed-end mutual funds don't work for you4 min read . Updated: 08 Oct 2018, 07:37 PM IST
It is clear that the regulatory loophole around closed-end mutual funds will shut down soon
It is clear that the regulatory loophole around closed-end mutual funds will shut down soon
Closed-end funds have been in the news recently and not in a good way. One newspaper story has predicted the doom of these funds as the capital market regulator clamps down on mis-selling through this route. Closed-end funds have had a bad history in India and have been repeatedly used by the industry to mis-sell. My introduction to these funds happened more than a decade ago. In 2006, armed with an upgrade in the knowledge of using excel sheets and the workings of mutual funds, I did a series of stories in The Indian Express on the big mutual fund churn where mutual funds and agents were harvesting the high upfront commissions. You can read one of the stories here, the others seem to be lost online. You are being churned if your adviser or agent makes you sell a financial product only to buy something else, with an aim to earn commission on a new sale. The agent wins at your cost. It's the oldest trick in retail finance. Churning is an industry practice that global regulators frown upon because it hurts investors.
The incentives for churning mutual funds were far higher in 2006 than today. Mutual funds carried a sales commission of 2.25% and could charge investors 6% of the amount they collected from new fund offers (NFOs). Agents were harvesting up to 8-9% of the investment by making the funds hand over the 6% NFO charge upfront and churning investors again and again to harvest this cost. The 6% NFO charge led to the great NFO rush from 2005 to 2008, with over 73% of the inflows in mutual funds in 2005-06 coming from NFOs. The then market regulator, M. Damodaran, banned the 6% NFO charge on open-ended funds on 4 April 2006, but allowed closed-end funds to charge this. I remember a phone call with him soon after this decision during which I protested and said, why not shut off the charge totally; it was not in investor interest. He said: We'll let mutual funds show that they know how to behave. I remember saying: They won't. Sebi will have to switch it off sooner or later.
Also read: Top mutual fund schemes to invest in
The industry at once switched to closed-end funds to harvest the higher charge. In 2006-07, the number of closed-end NFOs went up to 21 and then 31 in the subsequent year, up from just three in 2004-05. Open-ended NFOs dropped from 51 to 18 in 2006-07. It took until 31 January 2008 for Sebi to shut the door on closed-end funds as well by taking away the 6% carrot. The number of closed-end NFOs dropped to three in 2008-09. For almost a two-year period, there was an arbitrage in the mutual fund market where two similar product categories had different rewards. This cost investors $500 million in extra fees over the 22-month period that this arbitrage existed, says a paper by Anagol and Kim (2012). This is money you and I lost due to higher costs. You can read the paper here.
The closed-end products have been back on the market for a few years because some fund houses have found a way to keep new products coming. Why are they so keen to launch new products? It allows them to incentivise agents with upfronting a three-year trail commission at the time of sale. Remember that C.B. Bhave took away the 2.25% front load on a mutual fund in 2009 making them a very investor friendly product. The industry then began to upfront trail commissions to give an incentive to the agent. So far so good, but then with the closed-end fund, the fund house could pass on 3-5 years of trail commissions in the first year, allowing agents to hard sell these products. Once in, the investors were largely left with poorly performing products. There are stories of poorly performing stocks being dumped from open-ended into closed-end funds of the same fund house. Because once in, the investor cannot exit except on the secondary market. That is not a viable option due to the big discount closed-end funds trade at.
With the introduction of new categories of mutual funds and the rule that funds can have just one product in every category, the closed-end product launch is now reaching another level of loophole searching. One particular fund house is now known as a 'serial killer'. It kills investors with its fund series. Unfortunately, it has been the largest firms in the mutual fund business that have sniffed out regulatory loopholes and rushed to slide products through them for years. A mix of regulatory capture and drowning out the smaller voices allowed the practices to continue. But a newly energized Sebi is looking at evidence and data based regulatory interventions.
From media reports and the speeches of the chairman Ajay Tyagi in the past two weeks, it's clear that the regulatory loophole around closed-end funds will shut down soon. It has taken more than 12 years for this to happen. The only suggestion to investors around closed-end funds is this: do not buy any equity closed-end funds. Remember that equity-linked savings scheme (ELSS) is not a closed-end fund; it's an open-ended fund with a lock-in of 3 years for the tax benefit. But fixed maturity plans are closed-end funds—use them the way you use a fixed deposit but without the guaranteed return.
Just as even experienced drivers cannot take their eyes off the road, experienced investors too need to watch their fund managers and fund houses because some fund houses believe in the letter of the law and not the spirit.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Terrelle Pryor did just about everything for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Pryor started the game at receiver and caught eight passes for 144 yards.
He lined up 14 times at quarterback in the shotgun, ran four times for 21 yards and a touchdown and threw five passes, completing three.
He also spent a play in the secondary, playing deep safety in case the Miami Dolphins tried a Hail Mary at the end of the first half.
Pryor finished the Browns' 30-24 overtime loss to the Dolphins with 200 total yards and the rushing touchdown. Coach Hue Jackson said he had never seen a player do as much in one game as Pryor did.
"But that's what I expect him to do," Jackson said. "I've been knowing him for a while, and I know what he's capable of doing. He's capable of doing a lot."
With Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown both out with left shoulder injuries, the Browns started rookie third-round pick Cody Kessler at quarterback. Jackson decided to mix in some Pryor from the shotgun, letting him run the read-option and taking advantage of his running skills. The idea that came out of necessity might become a Browns regularity.
"I can't say enough about the job Terrelle Pryor did," wide receiver Andrew Hawkins said. "He really put the offense on his back when he got the opportunity."
Pryor played quarterback at Ohio State and in the NFL for three teams without great success. A year ago, he decided to move to receiver. One year later, he looks like he has been playing the position his entire life.
He lamented plays he didn't make, though, especially when he said he lost his cool because he thought Byron Maxwell was holding him. Pryor said he dropped a ball on third-and-1 with 58 seconds left because he was upset about the previous play.
"I let my team down," he said. "I lost that focus for a second. That's on me. I can't let another man discourage me."
Said Jackson: "He's kind of like me. He's a hothead. So I got to tone him down. He wants to get every call from the officials, and they're not going to do that all the time. You just got to keep playing."
Pryor became the first NFL player with at least three passing attempts, three rushing attempts and three receptions in the same game since Billy Kilmer did it for the San Francisco 49ers in 1964.
He is the first NFL player with 20-plus passing, rushing and receiving yards in the same game since receiver Cecil Shorts did it for the Houston Texans in November 2015.
And his 144 receiving yards were the most by a Browns player since Josh Gordon totaled 151 at New England on Dec. 18, 2013.
His 26-yard completion to Gary Barnidge? His first since Dec. 29, 2013.
Much was asked of Pryor, and he responded. Will it happen again?
"Whatever we think it takes to help us win a game," Jackson said.
Pryor even moved spots at receiver after first-round pick Corey Coleman broke his hand in practice Wednesday. Pryor had been playing at "Z" but moved to "X" after Coleman's injury.
"They got to pull me off this damn field," Pryor said. "I love the game, man. There's nothing else I'd rather do."

Please Wait...
We're massive fans of the New Haven so it gives us great please to announce that following the success of our HO scale model of the 8600-series coach, we're now producing it in N scale.
In order to attract customers back to the rails after the end of WWII, the New Haven decided to modernize the fleet with new lightweight passenger cars. In December 1945 a large order was placed with Pullman-Standard for a variety of car styles, including 103 coaches, 25 parlor cars, diners, grill diners, combination baggage buffet lounge/parlors, and two tavern lounge observation cars. These were produced in the old Osgood Bradley factory in Worcester, MA, so they bear more than a passing resemblance to the Osgood Bradley Lightweights delivered in the 1930s.
The New Haven's stainless cars were not built entirely from stainless steel like the cars produced by Budd in Philadelphia. Instead, they were constructed from Cor-Ten steel and sheathed with stainless steel fluting panels. The New Haven touted the 8600s as "the newest of the new in coach equipment - gleaming stainless steel on the outside, the last word in attractive decoration and design on the inside."
The 8600-series coaches were ubiquitous, used on trains system-wide from delivery until the Penn Central years. Penn Central later sold 74 of the 8600s to MBTA and they remained in service in the Boston area until 1988! N Scale Northeastern modelers have waited far too long for accurate models of these iconic cars. The wait will soon be over.
Please click here for a list of paint schemes.
Our N Scale Model Features:
The MSRP is $59.99 As usual, these passenger cars will be made to order.

Rapido Trains Inc. is a high-end manufacturer of model trains and accessories in HO, OO and N (North American 1:160 and British 1:148) scales. Our aim is to recreate the entire rail travel experience, from fully-detailed interiors and underframe equipment on our trains to fully-wired telephone poles for your model railroad.

Background: An important cause of pig xenograft dysfunction is the initiation of coagulation. Acute vascular rejection arises, which originates within the porcine endothelium by binding of xenoreactive natural antibodies and complement proteins. We established a flow-chamber system consisting of porcine aortic endothelial cells (pAEC) perfused with human blood. This study aims to characterize the potential benefits of a triple-transgenic approach combining alpha-gal epitope (Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-(3)4GlcNAc-R) knockout, hCD46 based complement regulation and coagulation control via expression of human thrombomodulin.
Methods: Wild-type pAEC or αGALk.o./hCD46/hTBM pAEC (clone #1198) were grown to confluence in a Bioflux 200 (Fluxion Biosciences®) flow-chamber or 6-well culture dishes. Calcein-AM labeled platelet-rich plasma (PRP, 1U/ml Heparin) was used to study dysregulated coagulation by assessing thrombus formation (in % of thrombus coverage per viewing field, analyzed by ImageJ) over time (9 minutes) under perfusion (3 dyn/cm2). In addition, the activation of the complement system (C3a) - and coagulation (thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT)), were assessed by ELISA upon co-incubation with platelet-free plasma (6-well culture dishes).
Results: Thrombus formation was observed when wild-type pAEC were perfused with human PRP (23.5 % ± 13.0 SD). In comparison, porcine PRP as well as citrate anti-coagulated human controls exhibited markedly reduced thrombus formation (4.1 % ± 5.1 SD and 1.4 % ± 1.2 SD, p<0.0001). Incubation of wild-type pAEC with human PFP revealed a time-dependent increase in TAT (mean 11339 ± 4514 SD μg/l, at 30 min) as well as C3a (mean 682.8 ± 136.9 SD ng/ml, at 30 min). αGALk.o./hCD46/hTBM pAEC resulted in significantly reduced thrombus formation (0.3 % ± 0.2, p<0.0001), TAT and C3a formation (mean 19.3 ± 1.4 SD μg/l at 30 min and 154.6 ng/ml ± 32.9 SD at 30 min).
Conclusion: In conclusion, we demonstrate that the donor modification αGALk.o./hCD46/hTBM exhibits a substantial improvement in complement- and coagulation control, as evaluated by platelet thrombi, TAT and C3a. In summary, our data indicate, that this donor modification might significantly help to extend the longevity of transplanted xenografts in vivo.

Oil hovers below $101 ahead of EU debt summit
Oil prices hovered below $101 a barrel today in Asia ahead of an interest rate decision in Europe and a crucial summit on the continent's debt crisis.business Updated: Dec 08, 2011 11:32 IST
Oil prices hovered below $101 a barrel on Thursday in Asia ahead of an interest rate decision in Europe and a crucial summit on the continent's debt crisis.
Benchmark crude for January delivery was up 12 cents to $100.61 a barrel at midday Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped 79 cents to settle at $100.49 on Wednesday.
In London, Brent crude was down 12 cents at $109.41 on the ICE futures exchange.
European leaders will meet later Thursday to discuss possible spending targets and ways to enforce them in a bid to lower the debt levels of countries such as Greece and Italy and restore investor confidence. Some analysts expect the European Central Bank to lower interest rates to help spur lending and economic growth.
"The direction of oil appears to hang in the wind as the world awaits (an announcement) from the ECB," energy consultant and trader The Schork Group said in a report. It held out little hope the two day summit would produce a lasting solution to the debt crisis.
Crude has bounced around $100 for the last three weeks as traders mull whether weak but improving U.S. economic growth justifies further gains. Oil has jumped from $75 in October.
Investors will also closely watch next week's meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries for signs the cartel could boost production to help lower prices. OPEC leaders have said this week at a conference in Qatar that the oil market is adequately supplied.
In other Nymex trading, natural gas added 0.2 cent at $3.42 per 1,000 cubic feet. Heating oil gained 1.1 cents to $2.99 a gallon and gasoline futures slid 0.6 cent to $2.59 a gallon.

Alas, winter is over. Spring is here (well, sort of). This also means summer is just around the corner and more than ever people are frantically preparing for that perfect beach body, brides are pressured to shed weight in honor of their big day, and others are given hope that a quick detox will result in a total transformation worthy of infomercial infamy.
If you're on the search for that perfect detox, you don't need to leave home. The human body was miraculously created with organs to facilitate exactly that: a natural process for detoxification all thanks to our livers, kidneys, and colons.
Be weary of products that promote weight loss after a "7 day detoxification" or a "30 day colon cleanse". Marketers strategically construct these products to appeal to those looking for an easy way out and sell people on the notion that they'll somehow become healthier, thinner, happier, and more attractive after using such products. The pursuit of the perfect detox has become a million dollar industry that targets people looking for "a quick fix".
- The pursuit of the perfect detox has become a million dollar industry that targets people looking for "a quick fix" -
Often sold in the form of a pill, tea, or loose powder—detox products' claims often have very limited evidence to support their alleged grandiose changes. In fact, leading toxicologists give very little credit to these types of products; in some cases, detoxes can actually cause harm by disrupting our normal gut flora, exposing us to dehydration, and can also toy with our biological hunger cues. Many are laced with laxatives causing bowel urgency, leading people to believe this is somehow "cleansing"--it's not, and it certainly isn't natural.
It may seem like an old wives tale by now, but moderation is key. Rather than embracing this principle, our 'slowly but surely' health model is quickly being replaced by compulsiveness, extremism, and the impatience for instant gratification. We've all had moments of overindulgence and feeling the need to "reboot" how we eat, but don't be swayed to believe any one product will transform your body or health for that matter.
The take away: a consistently healthy, well-balanced diet is the best "cleanse".

Patanjali's atta noodles is on course to oust Maggi as the top noodles brand in the country in the next few years said Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday. He further added the 'swadeshi' FMCG company will overtake all multinational firms in the consumer goods space, barring Hindustan Unilever (HUL).
"Patanjali atta noodles will soon oust Maggi as the top noodles brand in the country. Currently from about a 100 tonnes, our production of atta noodles will be increased to 300-500 tonnes," Ramdev told reporters at a conference.

"Barring HUL, we will overtake all other multinational companies. These companies are taking money out of the country," he added.
Patanjali, which is slowly capturing the bigger share in the market by introducing an array of products at a lower price, will also divert 100% of its profits towards social service, he said.
He added that Patanjali is keeping its production costs low compared with MNCs, in order to keep the product price reasonable. In the next five to seven years, Patanjali expects to earn profits of Rs 5,000 crore to Rs 10,000 crore, and will divert it to non-profitable causes.

Ramdev said that his persistent campaign against black money and corruption over the last five years has created awareness among masses, but it will take time for the government to fulfill the aspirations of the people.
"We have been persistently campaigning against black money and corruption since the last five years. The result is that people are aware of realities. Also, the country got rid of dynasty politics and a man from a humble background, who sold tea for a livelihood became the Prime Minister. But, it will take some time (for the government) to fulfill all the aspirations of the people," he said.

Ramdev is also planning to open a chain of schools across the country, based on vedic-cum-modern education called Acharyakulam, for which he is awaiting government permission.
"We will build a self-sustainable model, and every state should have 2 to 3 such educational institutions," he said.

"Well, it's kind of like a museum, being home and seeing all the pieces of what your days used to be," my dad pointed out to me as we sat on the living room couch.
In many ways, he was right. All the Halloween decorations from elementary school my mom still loves so dearly were taped to the walls, the laundry (waiting to be folded) could be found in the same spot in front of the TV, and tufts of dog hair characteristically spotted the furniture. But there were differences, too: The slender stalks in my dad's water garden now stroked the sky, and new books had been squeezed into the diminishing crevices of the bookcase. At the beginning of the semester, I didn't foresee myself returning home until Thanksgiving break. I assumed I would just tough my first semester of college out and wait to have a home-cooked meal and a long, luxurious shower. I decided to go home because, well, I hadn't yet, and my peers made it seem like an activity I should partake in. So, on a Friday afternoon, I found myself eagerly awaiting the key to unlock the door to my house, the museum of the first 18 years of my life.
Anyone who has ever left home knows that there is no place quite like it. There's no place where the little things the larger world can't provide all align. Part of the appeal of going home for new college students is that it solidifies the separation between the life you're cultivating now and the life you once lived at your home. The new, unforeseen challenges of college bring about this distinction between the two worlds — a distinction that inadvertently morphs home into a place of simplicity, an oasis where nothing could ever go awry. In the midst of navigating an unfamiliar educational environment, home becomes a museum: All the things we know and love are on display, ready for us to sentimentally reflect on how easy and simple life was before we left for college.
I fell into this trap as I sat on the Amtrak, making my way back home. I expected myself to become overly attached to home and all of its comforts over the weekend. In reality, though, I was ready to return to Berkeley after one full day away.
I woke up Saturday morning ready to spend my only complete day at home with the pleasurable things of life: breakfast, a Target run, a walk with my dog. I began my day mulling over the newspaper at my spot at the kitchen table, enjoying the tunes of Django Reinhardt floating through the kitchen. The concept of studying had evaporated. My parents quibbled in the background about the day's schedule, a normal occurrence I found comforting.
My morning lazily continued until I had exhausted every alternative to studying. As I opened a textbook, however, my brother James, who is autistic, began to swing in his hammock, singing in a loud, disruptive manner. His booming voice cascaded down the stairs and echoed in the hallway; his singing made the noisiness of residence hall life seem like a mere hushed whisper. Looking at the tiny print of my textbook, I realized that I was no longer able to study in this disruptive environment. I struggled through it during high school, but in the past few months, I had grown accustomed to the silence of libraries. I knew if for just a second I looked up from my textbook, James would know he had successfully distracted me. I hunkered down forcefully into my chair, determined to wait this out.
My mom was not as lucky as I had been. I heard James run upstairs and envelop her in what looked like a hug but, I knew from experience, was not so gentle. James squeezed her neck and gripped her tightly. "James, please stop. I'm busy right now," she said calmly. His fingers pressed harder into her face. "James, personal space, please," she said with more force as she pried his fingers away. I heard her come down the stairs, away from James and the hammock. The house was silent. I returned to my reading.
Suddenly, a wail interrupted the fleeting fragile peace. "Mama!" James cried as he tackled her and grabbed her by the neck. "James, let go. Let go, let go, let go," she yelped, gasping for breath. Instinctively, I leapt out of my chair and pulled James away by his shirt. He screeched and turned toward me, tears of bewilderment in his eyes. We clutched each other's hands. He contorted his jaw, opening and closing it like he always does during one of his fits. I, in what was not my finest moment, dug my fingernails into his skin and pushed him away, hoping he would just stop, that he would run out of frustration and just simply cry. Instead, he ran out the front door into the street, his cries penetrating the sleepy afternoon air. My parents ran after him; I waited at the door. He didn't get far. My dad brought him back into the house, and my mom, hands clutching her temples with her eyes cast downward, admitted, "I think we need to change his meds".
Now it was my turn for tears. I had been with James when he was like this in worse places to be than my house. But the fact that I had forgotten what living with James was like and that, in the end, most of his behavior came down to a dose of liquid he consumes daily stung.
I returned once more to my textbook and tried to dull my emotions with dry language. The rest of the afternoon followed the tone James' episode had set. My other brother, Grayson, was in a car accident. He was fine, but I wasn't sure how to react. Of course I was worried for Grayson, but I was also distraught by this hectic state of my home. The stable, rejuvenating place I had expected to visit seemed to be deteriorating right before my eyes.
My family convened at the dinner table later that evening. This was the first family dinner to take place since I had left for college. My dad had made cioppino specifically for me and my fish-loving taste buds. We tried to talk about other things besides the day's events, a task more difficult than expected. My mom, not as keen on fish as I am, grimaced at the soup. My dad pushed my mom to try some, claiming truthfully that the flavor was not too fishy. She gave him the stink eye. "I don't want to eat it. You already know that," she spat. Silence resumed its place at the dinner table.
I didn't physically leave my house until noon Sunday, but my mind had already left for Berkeley before my dad and I got into the car to make the drive back. I had already made a mental list of all the things I wanted to do the moment I was back in my habitat. There was clothing to wash, reading to finish and hot chocolate from Caffe Strada to drink. The little world at UC Berkeley I had begun to create had become much more appealing after the weekend I had just spent at home.
While my home and my life at UC Berkeley both have their challenges, going home made me realize how separate these two worlds are. I pictured home as something frozen in time. I didn't want it to change, even though it certainly does. At college, I don't have a history to confront as vividly as I do at home. The door to my residence hall room does not lead to a museum. At UC Berkeley, I learn something new every day. The unfamiliarity of the people, my professors and the vast amount of knowledge I am collecting is destabilizing but also incredibly inspiring. I have no idea what I will be doing in the immediate future, let alone the next couple of years, but I am learning to embrace this environment, to be grateful for the many paths that lie before me and to cultivate my own museum. The door to my residence hall room leads to a place that I am still creating, that constantly feels like it's in a state of flux. I don't mind, though. That's where I want to be.

Now it's Spring!
I'd thought that the crocuses were all goners this year, victims of the annual munching by the predatory bunnies of the backyard. I was out earlier this afternoon, enjoying this mild but very breezy day. Lo and behold, I spied some of these! There were just a couple of these pale yellow ones, a few bright yellow ones, and no purples, but now it feels like spring. :-)

Lessons in layering : use accessories to switch things up
homestyle Editor Alice Lines teams up with Citta's Head of Design Imogen Tunnicliffe to explore creative ways to personalise your bedroom.
People often equate monochromatic colour schemes with stark minimalism – but that isn't necessarily the aesthetic you want to go for in the bedroom. To successfully create a relaxed atmosphere with a black and white palette, try experimenting with shades of grey. From dark charcoal to the palest dove grey, there's no limit to the tones at your disposal. Black and white aren't off limits, but are best utilised as accents. Choose one or the other as the dominant tone, rather than using both in equal measures to create a place for the eye to rest. A bedroom with a restricted colour palette demands contrasting tones and textures to create depth – the more layers, the more personality.
When using a monochrome palette in the bedroom, keep things cosy by choosing warm hues, rather then cool ones.
Layering a variety of textures, from rough to smooth, dark to light will save your bedroom from blandness.
A throw at the end of the bed will (a) keep you warm and (b) break up the visual dominance of the duvet.
Finish with a shot of metallic (such as the Citta Stardust cushion) to add a bit of fun and femininity, without being too girly.
