Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro:
Currently, it's hard to make a definitive decision between the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. It's clear that Microsoft's device is an absolute hulk when it comes to power and games look gorgeous running on it, but it still suffers from the long-term problem of a lack of alluring exclusives. Sony's machine hit the ground running and, a year on, Sony's upcoming exclusives still trump what Microsoft has to offer.
Oculus Rift support could be a boon for Microsoft, but with nearly one million PlayStation VR users already out there, Sony has a major headstart on the competition in the console VR space.
So, as the launch of Xbox One X looms near, there's really all to play for when it comes to the battle for the high-end gaming device. Both consoles also offer up meagre improvements for non-4K gamers, but until you're ready to buy into the 4K lifestyle, there's little reason to worry about snapping up either console just yet.
Technical jargon aside, this difference in graphics power will make a difference when it comes to both consoles' 4K chops. Microsoft is aiming for full, native 4K at 60fps, while not all PS4 Pro games meet that specification. Some games run at 30fps in 4K, while others manage full 60fps performance at full, native 4K. The rest are a combination of games that only run at 30fps/4K, or render at sub-4K and use clever upscaling techniques to appear 4K.
All Xbox One games will run better on One X, whether or not they've been specifically updated to do so. You'll be able to play One X games at Full HD, too, with the choice as to whether you want to downscale from Ultra HD resolution for ultra-sharp graphics, or run games at 1080p for better performance.
This is notably different to the PS4 Pro, which has a habit of hiding these settings from you unless you've specifically opted to run their console at Full HD only.

Christian Children's Fund of Canada launches mobile responsive website
Optimal viewing design for easy reading, navigation and interaction
TORONTO (January 5, 2016) ― Christian Children's Fund of Canada (CCFC) has launched a new mobile responsive website to enhance the visitor's experience across a range of devices, from smartphones to tablets.
"Consumer preferences have shifted rapidly to mobile," says Mark Lukowski, Chief Executive Officer, Christian Children's Fund of Canada. "One year ago, 68 percent of people visited CCFC's website through their desktop computer. Today, 70 percent are connecting to us through a mobile device or tablet."
CCFC has embraced the change by developing a fully responsive website, which instantly adapts to various mobile devices. The easy-to-navigate content features photos, stories and video links about how CCFC-supported communities are progressing and the efforts being made towards long-term sustainable development. For those seeking to sponsor a child, support a Community Rise™ project or choose an item from the Gifts of Joy catalogue, the experience has never been easier.
"Canadian donors who support children and families in developing countries are thirsty for stories about the work we do," says Terrance Slobodian, vice-president, Fund Development and Communications, at Christian Children's Fund of Canada. "They want to see where donor dollars are going. Our job as a charity is to find the best way to get information to people quickly and effortlessly. The responsive website is a significant step forward in allowing us to do just that."
Earlier this year, CCFC launched six new mobile responsive websites in each of the six countries where the charity works. Canadians can visit: ccfcburkinafaso.org; ccfcethiopia.org, ccfcghana.org, ccfcindia.org, ccfcnicaragua.org, ccfcparaguay.org or ccfcanada.ca to learn more.

More about Lenovo:
Lenovo coupons
If you belong to the group of newest technology geeks and you simply have to own the latest electronics devices and gadgets, it is absolutely crucial to find an online store that will offer you all those products at prices you can afford and with a lengthy warranty period.
It is fair to say that electronics are definitely not the cheapest type of products you can shop for in the web and that's why the matter of picking the right and the most reliable store becomes even more important because we want to be 100% sure about getting the best quality of product available on the market and in case of any fault, be able to return in to the store with 0 additional costs attached. If you feel like the above description points to you then you shouldn't look further than Lenovo as your next consumer electronics destination.
You may wonder why our Picodi team thinks that Lenovo is the best pick out of all available online electronic stores in South Africa. The answer is quite simple and straightforward - because Lenovo is one of the leading - and definitely the biggest - company that specialises in personal technology products that are pretty much a must-have for most of consumers these days - whether for work or personal use.
Lenovo - notwithstanding the fact that it is one of the most popular brand names in the world specialising in consumer electronics - never stops the work to further improve and satisfy even bigger group of customers worldwide. Even though the company enjoys global fame, it still wants to lure more technology geeks by offering Lenovo coupons and Lenovo voucher codes thanks to which you can combine getting the best quality of product with joy of saving extra money.
Products available at Lenovo
Most of the consumers who are already familiar with the brand name Lenovo often associate it exclusively with laptops - probably because that's the category of products that provides the biggest selection of goods and enjoys the biggest number of sales every month at Lenovo. It is a wrong assumption though as apart from best quality laptops (available at discount prices throughout the year) - it is possible to buy other type of products at equally fantastic quality and with equally big chance of saving with Lenovo coupon. Products available at Lenovo South Africa include:
- tablets
- mobiles & smartphones
- desktop PCs
- workstations
- servers & storage
Apart from the popular Lenovo products mentioned above, you will definitely find an additional, rich list of that work perfectly with the above-listed devices and gadgets such as headphones, mouses & keyboards. And specially for the group of business owners and applications-geeks, Lenovo prepared a seperate product sections called "Apps" and "Enterprise Software" in which, too, you will be able to save extra money with the help of Lenovo coupons and Lenovo coupon codes available at Picodi South Africa.
Where to shop for Lenovo products?
The fact is that you can satisfy your eyes by browsing all the Lenovo products at the Lenovo official store - shop.lenovo.com - but it is not possible to purchase the products directly from there. Once you find a product model that suits you perfectly, you can look for it at popular online retail websites in South Africa that are partners with Lenovo - for example Takealot.com or Makro. Once you are there, you can have a careful look at other best quality consumer electronics at discounted prices. Despite the fact that you will be able to use coupons and coupon codes to save on Lenovo products at above-mentioned website, we encourage you to check other popular electronics brands available there in form of Samsung, LG, Philips & Sony.
Long Warranty Period
You already know that shopping for Lenovo devices you should expect best product quality on the market providing great value for money but - most importantly - you should feel safe because Lenovo gives you a long warranty period on any products purchased from this brand. Warranty periods from Lenovo are one of the best available with the length ranging from 2 to 5 years which means that you can enjoy your favourite products to maximum knowing that they are protected by Lenovo itself.

Bunch of bullies! That's what I was thinking as my friend told me about some recent conversations in her life. She fits the classic profile of a homeschooler, yet she and her husband carefully, prayerfully, for their own good reasons send their kids to public school. I'm a Christian, submissive wife and dedicated mom (at least I try), college-graduate and I work at least half-time. That's a decision my husband and I made together. We feel strongly that my work is for the Kingdom and that it's good and right. I know that people disagree. I know that women especially are tempted to a subtle, divisive and smiling sort of comparison that leaves the victim wondering, "Did they mean to be unkind?" It happens; we've written before about it. (You're With Us, Imaginary Judges, Party Pooper).
However, recently I have seen less and less grace. Homeschoolers who present a polished view of their home-life looking down their noses at their sisters helping kids with homework. Women, who have chosen to wear only skirts and dresses, casting the fish eye on their sister in her modest pants. Women who after prayer and study go back to work condemned or condemning. Relaxed moms rolling their eyes at the conscientious ones who forbid TV, internet, and games to their tots. Women who are satisfied with their one or two children blasted on a blog by those who cheerfully accept all the children God will give to them. We won't even stray over to the graceless way we pursue political ends or make health and environmental decisions regarding our children.
Recently my Bible reading took me through Galatians and I saw what I had before dismissed as "making a mountain out of a molehill" as actual sin. Listen to Paul's words:
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
Paul insists that we are free in Christ. Part of that freedom is freedom of conscience. As long as we are living in his Holy Spirit we are free to pursue God with all our hearts. What we are not free to do is be enslaved (or worse enslave others) to some form or function, some good idea, which God never commanded. Paul puts it this way...
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain. (Galatians 4:9-10)
Did you hear him? He wonders if their desire to live according to some external principle, some kind of law or calendar, has turned them away from God. He thinks their faith might be "in vain!"
We're not talking about "soap boxes" or "her thing." Paul calls it slavery. Could I be so sure that my way is the best way, that I trust in my "issue" instead of in my Savior? Could I believe that if I just homeschool my kids, dress them a certain way or throw away my TV that I can assure their salvation? Or worst of all has someone who wanted to know Christ been introduced instead to my ideas?
With these words, Paul demands that they accept that their unity is in Christ not some external issue:
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.(Galatians 3:27-28)
He might as easily have said, "There is neither stay at home or working mom, there is neither homeschool or public school mom, there is neither fertile nor infertile, single nor married woman for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
I have pet issues like everybody else. I homeschool and I feel great about it. I work and I feel great about that too! But I am learning to be gracious and like Paul to fiercely protect my sisters right to pursue God in the freedom and unity Christ died for!

text: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 On Barak Obama By John A. Imani Member of the Revolutionary Autonomous Communities. Let's face it, comrades, we have our hands full. With the system in shatters all around us, capitalism had played its last card: it has elected ($700,000,000) a young, gifted and black president. At the Martin Luther King, Jr Day here in LA one could strike by two things, the first expected, the second, however, was surprising: "Obama" was the word on many, nearly every, lip. The impact of the fact that after 400 years of captivity, then second-class citizenship and occupation of its community by a force not of that community (in our case, the LAPD), a person of color was elected to lead completely colored the air as minor celebrities echoed and led the crowd in chants of the new president's name. The surprising thing was that this goodwill extended to just so the occupying force referred to above. Chief Bratton and Sheriff Baca led a contingent of pigs and for some strange reason the crowds applauded them. Not just the head cops but motorcycle, horse, bicycle, Segway riding, walking armed pigs were waved to and cheered. It was like watching concentration camp internees applauding their captors. It was inexplicable. Then the thought hit me: Obama = State. It dawned upon me that my comrade, Joaquin, from Revolutionary Autonomous Communities (RAC) had been correct when before the election he warned that if Obama was elected, it would make it more difficult to rebel. The identification of the president, and all the good will extended by this, had somehow 'rubbed off' on the first and last line of defense of the state, the police. And the occupiers were seemingly transformed, in the minds of the viewers, into their defenders. This is how one might view this happenstance if one ignores the fact that the existence of the police itself is laden with a fundamental contradiction: that its interests and its existence is the protection of the state and not of the people. There is little doubt that the Obama regime will initiate some reforms. It has no choice in this matter: it must generate purchasing power just as the Bush regime did. The difference is promised to be, however, that while Bush injected liquidity into the system with its vast purchases of arms, Obama's medication will be prescribed in the form of extension of benefits, lower taxes on income and capital gains, workfare programs, etc. All of this in an attempt to save a system, a la FDR, teetering on the brink of self-implosion and ingesting vast sums of created public monies that are but IOU's written on the backs of today's and tomorrow's workers. On a macrocosmic level, what this means is that when he sends in more troops to Afghanistan that there will be some, who protested under Bush, will be hesitant to take to the streets. Or, when times get harder and food riots are necessitated, the televised image of concerned 'Brother' Obama will keep some of the hungry at home mindful of the fact that "The brother is doing the best that he can." Patriotism used to be the last refuge of scoundrels. Now it seems that its place has been taken by this cynical use of a black man as figurehead, standing in the same relationship to the real holders of power, the capitalist class, just as Bush II, Clinton, Bush's Daddy, Ronald Reagan, etc. Of whom, pick your choice, it was and it would be easier to rebel against. The question is "How to critique Obama and not alienate the masses who see this presidency, perhaps in some way, as payment for our sufferings, as reparations for our pains?" http://joaquincienfuegos.blogspot.com/2009/01/john-imani-on-barak-obama.html

Minerals Plan: Key Issues & Options
Derby & Derbyshire Minerals Core Strategy: Key Issues & Options
Chapter 3: A General Portrait of Derbyshire
3.1 We are developing a spatial portrait of Derbyshire, which is a description of the county in terms of its social, economic and environmental characteristics which are most relevant to mineral planning. This will help us to focus on the characteristics and assets of Derbyshire which are most important in planning for future mineral development. People who attended the stakeholder workshop in July 2009 have provided helpful input to this chapter.
3.2 Diagram 1 gives a picture of the geography of Derbyshire. It shows the National Park, a largely upland area which makes road transport difficult, and it shows the main roads and railways, river valleys, towns and other features. Also, it shows the major places, such as Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester, which are outside the county but are important markets for some of the County's minerals.
3.3 Derbyshire is located in central England, in the East Midlands Region and is easily accessible to and from a number of neighbouring conurbations, including Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds and Nottingham. A large part of the mainly rural, north western area of the geographical county lies within the Peak District National Park, though outside the area of this plan. Derbyshire has a wealth and diversity of important mineral resources. These bring benefits to the county, in terms of jobs and wealth but also potential disbenefits, particularly in terms of the possible environmental impact of extracting the minerals. The legacy of large scale coal extraction in the east of the county left large areas with significant social, economic and environmental problems. Regeneration is leading to the recovery of these areas, particularly in environmental terms, with initiatives such as the National Forest.
3.4 Derbyshire (including Derby) has a population of around 995,000[1] with a demographic growth rate slightly above the national average. The majority of the population lives in urban areas, with three quarters living in a series of small towns in the eastern half of the county. The City of Derby, with a population of some 240,000, is the largest settlement and lies in the south of the county. Chesterfield is the other major town in the county, lying in the north east, having a population of around 100,000.
Economic and Social Conditions
3.5 Derbyshire is a county of great variety, much of it rural in character, but it also contains a number of urban areas, which are based historically on coal mining and other heavy industries. Some of the older urban areas also contain significantly deprived populations, especially in Derby and within the former coalfield areas. Within these areas, there are seventeen "Super Output Areas" which are amongst the 10% most deprived areas in the country. As in all areas, there are strong correlations between health and deprivation, so the most deprived areas of the county, in terms of health, are in areas within Bolsover, Chesterfield, and North East Derbyshire Districts. Elsewhere, the general health of 90.1% of Derbyshire's household population was defined as good or fairly good in the 2001 Census, slightly below the national rate of 91.2%.
3.6 Much of the employment in the plan area is still dominated by manufacturing industries to a greater extent than the national average, but this is declining as employment in service industries increases. In 2001, only 1% of employment in the county was in mining and quarrying, which was higher than the regional average of 0.7% and twice the national average. Employment in this sector was generally spread across the county, except in Derby where there are very few people employed in this sector. There has been a very significant decline in employment levels in this sector over the last two decades, especially with the decline of the coal industry. Unemployment rates at 3.2 % in the county overall are slightly below the national average but this masks significant variations in Chesterfield and smaller areas across the county, such as inner areas of Derby and parts of the former coalfield areas, which have significantly higher levels of unemployment.
3.7 Derbyshire generally has a good quality road transport network, which provides excellent links to other regions. These roads include the M1, the A38, the A61 and the A50. In line with the rest of the country, traffic levels have significantly increased throughout the plan area over the last few decades, but at a slightly slower rate than the regional average. 61% of Derbyshire's boundary adjoins neighbouring regions and the county is greatly influenced by conurbations just outside its boundaries in terms of transport movements. There are relatively frequent short-distance movements of minerals across these boundaries, which are likely to continue in the future.
3.8 A significant issue in Derbyshire in relation to transport is the impact of heavy lorries, including mining and quarrying traffic, on local communities and other road users. In some areas, heavy goods vehicles can account for up to 25% of traffic. The Derbyshire Community Strategy seeks to reduce congestion on roads and to limit the environmental impacts of transport. These aims are reflected in the priorities of the Derbyshire Local Transport Plan, which covers the period 2006-2011.
3.9 There is a somewhat fragmented railway system in the county with five separate operators. The majority of routes carry freight.
3.10 In terms of air quality, a number of areas suffer from air pollution, mainly associated with traffic and within the plan area, seven areas are covered by Air Quality Management Areas. These are in Derby, Erewash and Bolsover and North East Derbyshire.
Natural Heritage
3.11 The county exhibits areas of ecologically important and high quality landscape, from the upland limestone scenery and gritstone moorlands in the north of the county, adjacent to the Peak District National Park, through the rolling pasturelands in the central swathe to the broad river valleys in the south. The eastern and southern parts of the county exhibit some of the legacy of large-scale coal extraction.
3.12 The character of Derbyshire's landscape has been assessed and each landscape type has been categorised, helping the assessment of proposals for development in terms of their impact on the landscape.
3.13 Much of the area of the county is farmland, almost all of which is classified as grade 3 and 4, with a small amount of grade 2 land to the south of Ashbourne.
3.14 The three main rivers in the county are the Trent, the Derwent and the Dove. 95% of the length of these rivers is classified as being good or fair chemical water quality and, as measured by biological quality, this rises to 97%. All the rivers have important flood defence regimes, including functional flood plains, which need protecting, especially with the additional stress put on them from the possible effects of climate change.
3.15 Derbyshire contains significant areas of ecological importance, and supports valuable populations of national and local Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority species. Changes in farming practices over the past 50 years have, however, resulted in loss of hedgerows, wetland and floodplain habitats.
3.16 The Regional Biodiversity Strategy has shown three Biodiversity Conservation Areas (BCA) partially located in Derbyshire, excluding the Peak District National Park. The most important regional resources for biodiversity are found at Sherwood near Bolsover, and in the Derbyshire Peak Fringe and Lower Derwent, and in part of Charnwood in South Derbyshire. However, two Biodiversity Enhancement Areas (BEAs) lie partially in the county on its eastern boundary and in the National Forest in South Derbyshire. These are areas where the biodiversity heritage is poorest and most in need of enhancement.
3.17 Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are designated under the EC Habitats Directive and form part of the Natura 2000 Network of internationally important wildlife sites. SACs in Derbyshire, outside the Peak District National Park, are:
Bee's Nest and Green Clay Pits on the south eastern edge of the Peak District;
Gang Mine; also on the south eastern edge of the Peak District; and
- River Mease on the border of South Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
3.18 In terms of other designations for biodiversity, there are 87 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs); 1 National Nature Reserve (at Calke Abbey, 12km south of Derby managed by the National Trust); and around 1100 local wildlife sites and 101 Regionally Important Geological Sites, half of which lie within the Derbyshire Dales area.
Built Heritage
3.19 Derbyshire has a wealth of archaeological and historic features and sites with 9,500 entries on the Sites and Monuments Record; 1,476 Scheduled Ancient Monuments; 5,941 Listed Buildings and 486 Conservation Areas. The Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, lying between Matlock Bath and Derby, is of international importance and is also a significant tourist attraction.

Hardly a month goes by without a new mobile app builder platform launching in the market. These builders are good stuff if you don't know about coding, but the fact is their standardization limits your capacities to build your dream app. More of that, they are subscription based, that means if you stop paying, your app will disappear from the stores. To fix that, the best would be an open-source solution. This is what Xtraball, a French company, has done by launching Siberian CMS, an open-source and free CMS for creating mobile applications.
First, you have to download Siberian CMS. Just go on Siberiancms.com and download the last version. Then, unzip the files and send them onto your server. It's just like setting up a WordPress or a Joomla website. After that, an installer guides you through the setup. It just takes 3 easy steps, including the database connection and the account creation. Finally, after being logged in to your back-end, you can begin to create your own app.
This CMS comes with a panel of pre-built features already integrated. You can also download addons from the marketplace or, since it is open-source, create your own.
Integrated features:
Push Notifications: allows you to send push notifications to your users.
– Newswall: create a wall with news that users can comment and like.
– RSS feeds: integrate feeds from blogs directly in your app.
– Photo & Video gallery: import videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or from an URL, and photos from Instagram, Picasa or from your computer.
– Custom page: create a page with your own content, text, videos, photos, address, etc.
– Facebook: integrate a Facebook page directly in the app with comments and likes enabled.
– Loyalty card: can be useful for local businesses.
– Social Gaming: a little social challenge for the users based on the loyalty points they have validated.
– Coupons: create coupons with limited uses, ending dates, etc.
– Catalog: to create a list of products with or without prices.
– Contact: a contact page with a cover image, a touch to call button, social links and geolocation.
– Booking: a multi-stores booking form.
– Link or Links: using the « Link » feature, you add one web link directly displayed in a web view within the app. The « Links » feature, on the other hand, allows you to create a list of links inside a single page.
– Form: create different types of forms.
– Calendar: integrate your events from Facebook or Google Calendar, or create your owns.
– Wordress: a WordPress plug in to import your blog automatically into your app.
– Folders: allows you to organize your app by using categories, sub-categories and pages stored in them.
Features from the Marketplace :
In the Siberian marketplace, you will find some new features as well as services like iOS and Android publication, training videos to understand how to develop for Siberian CMS if you are a developer, or Siberian CMS installation if you don't know how to set it up. You can also download other languages. Some addons are free, some addons are not.
– Commerce: create a multi-stores mobile commerce app, using Paypal for payments.
– Audio: import playlists from iTunes, Soundcloud, Podcasts or from URLs.
– Source Code: insert any HTML or Javascript code.
Making your app
Siberian CMS allows folks who can't code to create their apps easily, by using a drag&drop editor. Just add a feature in your app, and then fill it out with content. It's easy. You can take a look at the user documentation on the Siberian CMS website for some features who can be a little bit harder to set up, such as the folder feature. But it's really simple, and you are able to build your own app within a few minutes. Plus, you can live preview your mobile app by using Siberian CMS Previewer, an app previewer on the App Store and Google Play, allowing you to test your app live on your mobile.
Then, you just have to download the sources and compile them to submit your app on Google Play and the App Store, because, yes, it is a cross-platform solution. By building once you get an app for the Android phones, and an app for iPhones. The updates you will make on your app after its publication are automatic, and there is no need to republish the app on the stores.

Natascha Van Zyl
CNHC CThA BHMA RSM MBPsS
Complementary Medicine Consultant
Your health in my hands – Naturally
I am the Managing Director of TaschMar Holistic Health, founded during 1993 in South Africa, and which is now based in the UK. As a CAM Practitioner, I specialise in a range of treatment modalities, which are designed to meet your healthcare needs.
I am the Head of Science Access at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION), and write articles for Healthcare Publications. I host my own Radio Show called Health Naturally (see Health Naturally page), and am also currently training as a Health Psychologist.
I have worked in the Medical and Pharmaceutical sectors for several years – both within the NHS and the Private sector. I work actively in Private Practice and in Educational contexts – presenting lectures, seminars and workshops.
My passion is helping you on your journey to good health.
I have extensive experience within the field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), and have been greatly influenced by the work done by many of the leading pioneers within the field, like: Dr. Alfred Vogel (Bioforce International); Dr. Jan de Vries (Jan de Vries Healthcare); Dr. Marilyn Glenville (Nutritionist and Psychologist), Dr. Robert Holden (Happiness Project), Dr. Danny Pillay (Homeopath), James Wong (Ethnobotanist), Dr. Michael Murray (Naturopath) and Dr. Joseph Pizzorno (Naturopath).
I look forward to meeting you and working with you in creating a happier and healthier YOU!
I am registered with The Complementary Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), The Complementary Therapists Association (CThA), The British Holistic Medical Association (BHMA) and The British Psychological Society (MBPsS).
My personal journey with ill-health, combined with my spiritual journey, which took me across the continents – has been instrumental to the development of my unique blend of Eastern, Western and African Therapeutics – which I apply to my Practice.
My unique multidisciplinary approach to treatment may help address your physical and emotional issues. Vital to the success of this healing process is TRUST – something I actively build upon in our sessions.
I create a safe environment where I encourage and support you to release any negative emotions – some may manifest as pain, or an illness or psychological distress. By allowing this release to take place, you actively participate in restoring balance to your body and indeed your mind. This in itself is very empowering and cathartic!
When we hold onto negativity and emotional pain, our bodies can take only so much before "dis-ease" takes over. The effects become more serious and debilitating the longer we hold onto negative aspects.
So the question here is simply this – how long will you wait before you take action?
The answer is: ACT NOW!
I am of Dutch-British decent and was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. My passion to practice Complementary and Alternative Medicine was driven by my personal experience with severe illness, and the loss of my family members and dear friends to diseases like cancer, diabetes, brain tumours and fatal heart attacks.
I was deeply moved by the suffering experienced by people who were unwell and by those in apparent good health! My experiences guided my exploration of the "Mind-Body link" and so I began my studies into a realm that was, and still is, not truly understood!
I met my first mentor, Swami Mataji Narayani (Spiritual Guru and Homeopath) at Sohum Sanctuary in South Africa, at the tender age of ten. It was there that my "schooling" truly began! During the years that followed, I received spiritual enlightenment from several Gurus and was trained both traditionally and non-traditionally in the Eastern and Western healing arts, namely: Naturopathy; Therapeutic Massage; Rolfing; Reflexology; Aromatherapy; Reiki; Chakra Attunement; Meditation; Self awareness and Spirituality; Life coaching and counselling.
I studied Social and Biological Sciences and completed my degree with Psychology Honors at the University of South Africa and Vista University. It was at Vista University that I was introduced to the Traditional African Healing Arts and actively engaged in mutually rewarding professional relationships, with my fellow colleagues and healers, namely the African Inyanga (Herbalist). I was given the honorary name "Palesa" (meaning flower) from my African contemporaries – a very great privilege and was further praised for being a true representative of the "Rainbow Nation".
I then undertook professional training for Therapeutic Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Counselling and Herbalism, at bespoke training institutions in both South Africa and the United Kingdom. Furthermore, I have also completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Education at Greenwich University in London and am currently completing my training to be a certified Health Psychologist.

The formula itself is as wonderful as always and effectively removes every spec of my make up. For me, the price of this cleanser, which comes in at £19.75 (or even cheaper if you purchase it within one of Liz Earle's packages this month) is entirely reasonable and something I now don't even think about when purchasing. It has become a staple: gentle, effective, long-lasting and just gorgeous. Plus the Limited Edition comes in the generous size of 150ml, with two muslin cloths as well. It was fantastic before, but now it's phenomenal. Please go buy it.
Available here for a limited time only.

Enjoy yourself, as Venus will mess up you!
Until July Twenty third 2016, Venus will be in Scorpio's home of connections, producing comfort and benevolence on relationships, both on the expressive ones and on the work or company ones.
It'll be a interval in which you'll display unique interest to the several and in which you'll have a lot to offer to your essential other. The need to communicate and discuss will be more powerful than ever. The hunger for love will be very big, you'll want evidence of love and actions of pain.
If you don't have a connection, you'll endeavor to develop one and you'll use all your potential to attract to experience it.
You'll usually confirm more benevolence and patience, you'll even be prepared to create some adjustments for the excellent growth of factors.
June 2016 will be excellent for Scorpios and positive to pleasure. Use it fully!
June 2016 Astrology Scorpio: Profession & Money
For Scorpios, July 2016 will be monthly of analysis and more self examination, which you can use to focus on and maybe to create some changes you consider necessary.
The interval will benefit analysis, the dealing with of the unidentified and the checking of absolute depths, being appropriate, for example, to actions relevant to analysis, mindset or clever factors.
The Mars-Uranus resistance can carry Scorpio a short time of issues in the expert area or a quick and surprising modify.
Scorpio's cash will be a very underlined part in July 2016. It's possible that you'll buy something, take out a loan, invest, recover a ownership or negotiate a scenario that includes company, economical institutions, insurance or the IRS.
However, think everything before making any essential economical step! Retrograde Mercury can perform techniques on you.
June 2016 Astrology Scorpio: Health and fitness & Morale
The Mars-Uranus resistance on Scorpio's axis of health doesn't look very excellent. It can carry you issues suddenly and their characteristics can be rather intense or aggressive.
In July 2016 be careful especially of injuries (cuts, burns, stresses, bone injuries, muscular smashes, etc.), but also of attacks, inflammations, lose blood, various suits.

Of all the elements of an identity, logo, symbols, typography, colour etc., it is colour which has perhaps the most fundamental impact.
One of the principle functions of an identity is to unite people of a common purpose. It creates a coherent banner for people within an organisation to gather. It identifies the entity to others and distinguishes it. It may separate or recruit.
The reason colour performs such a powerful role is that it is so deeply, culturally embedded in human society.
In a primitive society, our basic unit was the family – this perhaps extended to the clan or tribe. When meeting a strange individual it was vital to know if they were a member of your tribe – it could be a matter of life or death.
As groups became bigger – from coalitions of tribes up to the first stirrings of nations – recognition of identity became increasingly vital.
The first manifestations involved security, combat and military recognition. You wanted your comrades to know who they were fighting, to express to your enemies and friends who you were before decisions on conflict were made.
Long before literacy had spread, colour was a simple indicator – warpaint, bands of coloured material, even coloured plants or flowers, all became group symbols. As societies became more complex it was till colour that was a primary differentiator. Coloured flags and primitive uniforms were adopted and developed throughout military organisations as demonstrations of national and group identity.
We had 'redcoats', the 'blue and grey'; these terms still pervade our language to identify organisations, the 'boys in blue', 'red devils', the 'red army', 'green party', etc.
Sports teams were quick to adopt 'team colours' as were street gangs.
Colour is so engrained in our cultural narrative that it's hardly surprising that it's so powerful a component of commercial, organisational and brand identities. If I mention a major brand, it is fairly certain that you will be able to visualise its corporate colours even if you may have to think hard about its logo or symbol – Coca Cola, Virgin, Caterpillar, McDonalds, Pepsi, Starbucks, Facebook etc.
Once we understand the vital role colour plays, that is almost hard-wired into our societies, then we can appreciate the importance of brand and corporate colours, and why we change and tamper with that element at our peril.

Herman Kruyder
De Hond
oil on linen
110 x 122 cm
Despite the rather stylized way of painting it has a raw edge. This could of course be related to the psychological state of the painter. One year after making this painting the painter dies as a result of a previous suicide attempt. Of course, you do not need to know this as a viewer. I think it's a very exciting, dark painting, even without knowing this story. The colors, the bone, the dog with a rope around his neck and his genitals visible to the viewer take you back to the farmyard where Herman and his wife lived in isolation. Over the years I often have been looking at this painting in the Boijmans.
Of course my work is not a literal copy of this work, and as an artist I have many examples. Too much to list here. At the academy I wasn't occupied with figurative painting. In fact I was more interested in paint and its functioning. I still love that, I can sit in my studio for days muddling with paint without anything solid coming out. When I came up with a painting of a deer in a swamp of paint during my follow-up study, it was Emo Verkerk who pointed me to this work of Herman Kruyder. Spontaneously I changed the deer into a Rotweiller. I have the feeling that figurative painting is somewhat out of favour lately. One critic recently called it 'Deer Art'. However, using the subject-matter of the dog, I still think it's very exciting time and time again to seek this specific point where something unexpected happens, with the image, the technique and of course with the viewer.

September has always been one of my favorite months. There's that back-to-school feeling that feels like a fresh start, and the weather is perfect. In southern California, it's when the tourists go home and the locals are able to enjoy quieter beaches. In northern California, it's when Karl the Fog stays away. It was nearly 90 degrees in the city yesterday.
I so enjoyed this long weekend. There were fun brunches (Gracias Madre and Zazie) and dinners (The Progress and Monk's Kettle) with friends, some park hanging at Dolores and Golden Gate, lots of walking - including back and forth that famous bridge, and enough time to just relax.

In honor of the 94th birthday of America's arch-druid of folk music, here are videos of some of the songs that are the gift of of this master performer to his land and people.
Even granting the enormous importance of countless others - the Lomaxes, Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and so many more - without Seeger's tireless energy and 70+ years of performing and activism, all those ballads and songs and hummable folk tunes would likely be gathering dust in obscure corners of university libraries or on crackling recordings on small record labels instead of being the significant element of our cultural fabric that they have become.
Virtually every performer in the pop-folk world during the revival era acknowledged Seeger as a major influence and inspiration.
I might well title this post "Songs We Owe To Pete Seeger."
"If I Had A Hammer" - Original Weavers Version
Seeger later acknowledged that he thought Peter, Paul and Mary improved his song.
"Wimoweh" and "Flowers"
From the Smothers Brothers show. Seeger discovered Solomon Linda's "Mbube" in a stack of discarded 78rpms given to him by Alan Lomax and transliterated the title into what he thought he heard on the recording.
"Turn! Turn! Turn!"
Of the dozens of video versions of Seeger performing the song, this one from the mid-1960s Rainbow Connection show with Pete supporting Judy Collins is my favorite.
"We Shall Overcome"
A song in whose dissemination Seeger was an important element, as he explains below. From the 1963 Carnegie Hall Concert.
That Carnegie concert LP was one of the treasures of my boyhood, and this was my favorite track on that fabulous record. As with many, many other songs - most Anglophone Americans had never heard this surpassingly beautiful song in both words and music until Seeger introduced it. Pop music fans may note that the massive commercial hit by The Sandpipers simply adapted Pete here word for word, down to and including the narration and translation.

Well, everything was going smoothly so far and all of your eudaimonia carefulness bills were compensated on event. However you human face a letter from your insurers saying that a legal document has been disputed and that they will not conceal it.
You are in all probability miffed off. Emotions will not assist you out though, so more do not pass circumstance into emotions but change for a combat.
The premier thing to do is to scrutinize thinly if the bill that s not salaried is for attention coated under your proposal. It may well start that you have used a management that is not inundated at any rate. If this is the suitcase you have aught to do but to pay the legal document. If, on the other hand it should have been reply-paid by the insurers you should formulate a claim and want your rights.Post ads:

Gather all of your eudaimonia protection documents. You should have the contact, the policy documents describing what your insurance covers, all of your doctors and hospice bills as asymptomatic as all of the sameness you have beside your insurance company.
The side by side article to do is to introduction your vigour security ensemble. You can ring them or set out a consultation. Explain what your reservation is and ask them to form into the measure onetime again. If your dogma states this style of instrument should be compensated they should not dispute with you. Be specific when you verbalize to the insurers. Tell them which portion of the proposal states this bill should be moss-grown.
In the unlucky event that your underwriter denies profitable the mouth even after your complaints, experience the state's division of guarantee. They should be able to look into your lawsuit added and arrive at a passable ending.Post ads:

Keep in awareness that hiring a professional may be dear so meditate scarcely if you deprivation to do this or not.
The most undesirable piece that can come to pass is that if your vigour cover ensemble refuses to pay a stupendous instrument and then disappears. What this system is that you have turn a rig victim. You can story the swindle nevertheless you should start devising measures for a new upbeat dogma and not moving contract beside the owed instrument. Be blow-by-blow to sentinel your respect by paid on those outstanding bills.

This week at AVA we had a chance to experiment instead of subject-specific painting! The brief was to produce an image in a wet medium without using any of the traditional tools to apply the paint. A brush could be used to mix the paints and a pencil could be used for an initial drawing if required. After that it was a case of looking around to find ways of putting paint on paper. This could include finger painting, sponges, dropper washing, twigs, paper or printing with odd shaped objects.
It seems that the members must have liked the idea as there was a good turn out, and some interesting work was produced.
I opted to paint a simple landscape without any preliminary drawing, and as it was going to be a hit or miss affair, I chose to use up some paper that I would not mind spoiling or abandoning. I used a piece of Hahnemuhle 'Cornwall' 450g paper. this paper is very white and has a very distinct hessian-like grid to it.
I did regret the paper to start with as it was very poor at taking the initial washes and it was at this point that I regretted most the lack of a big brush!
Not to be daunted, I mixed up some indigo wash which I dropped into the LH bottom corner using a plastic dropper, and blew the resultant puddle across the paper using a straw. This created a reasonable series of twig like shapes across the page, which instantly suggested a row of trees.
The rest of the painting was produced by adding pigment using a stick of Forsythia which had been sharpened in a large pencil sharpener, and a piece of diagonally trimmed bamboo. Areas of paint which needed a more wash-like finish were added with a cotton bud dipped in paint.
I am really pleased with the effects created in the painting, helped by the texture of the paper. I wish I had made the grasses to the right of the path less turquoise by adding magenta to the mix to pick up the same colours as the LH tree, but apart from that, as a brushless painting, I think it works ok. And as usual, doing this sort of experimental work is great fun!

This time it was not cycling 100 miles for charity, but organising a conference in the heart of London for a group of very capable and knowledgeable IT folks.
Taking into consideration that I was taking over rather than inventing, it was easier than it could have been. I already had an established format to copy and tweak to my preference and a list of previous speakers/sponsors to approach. But it was still a challenge and there was lots to do making it work.
Here's a small abstract from my list of topics covered:
- venue
- food
- drink
- session abstracts
- sponsor levels
- sponsors
- banners
- bags
- badges
- name stickers
- speaker gifts
- speaker/sponsor dinner
- keynote speaker
- registration process
- website
- volunteer staff
- bag filling
- room set up
- storage
- transportation
- speed sponsoring
- tear down
Each one of these has a process behind it and that process has lots of inputs, variables dependencies and methods (that sounds dangerously close to being organised to me).
I'm still finalising this years close out with evaluations and collecting speaker slides, but so far the feedback has be mainly positive. There have been a few 'suggestions' for changes to next year, but I'm pleased to say that I'm not surprised by any of them, in fact I agree with all of them.
I could not have done any of this without the support of lots of people and I thank you all. That includes, all the team that volunteered their time, IBM for letting us use the venue and catering for free, the speakers for writing the presentations and turning up to deliver them, the sponsors for believing in the event and paying on time and all the attendees that showed up to see what all the fuss was about.
"So there will be a next year?" I can hear you thinking it as you read this. Well I hope so, I have every intention of running another one.
