There's no strict format for confession, but there are ways to make the experience more fulfilling and life changing.
Sin is darkness in the soul and asking God to shine a light on what is hidden is the first step.
"The things we often most need to deal with we push farther in and so we shroud them in darkness inside of us," said Father Erik Pohlmeier, diocesan director of faith formation.
Catholics can turn to various documents called "Examination of Conscience," which help with reflection. There is not one official Church examination, but several out there, including ones listed on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website (usccb.org) for children, young adults, single people, married couples and ones based on the Ten Commandments and Catholic Social Teaching. There are also ones for priests.
"Ultimately that's what sin comes down to, are we cooperating with God's plan for our life or not? If we're not, those are areas in our life that can be made better," Father Pohlmeier said.
Father Norbert Rappold, pastor of St. Peter the Fisherman Church in Mountain Home, said understanding why God has brought someone to confession is important to avoid "ho-humming" or not knowing what to confess, and to allow "God's mercy as part of the preparation of the soul, opening of the soul."
"If you're shot (and killed) before going into confession, God is going to honor that as their confession," if a person has taken prayerful preparations ahead of time, he said. "Kind of like baptism of desire. Confession is already starting when you're preparing and really reflecting on going to confession. So that's always a good thing to do."
Father Pohlmeier said priests are "trying to get a sense of the state of the heart" of someone in the confessional, not if they have memorized the Act of Contrition.
"Somebody may follow the rules exactly, but it sounds superficial. Where somebody else might not know at all what they're doing in terms of what prayers to say or even how to start. And yet they're clearly there because they feel a hurt and want to be reconciled with God so that's what matters," he said.
While some may stress out because they cannot recall one or two sins from the past, they might be missing the point. Father Pohlmeier reiterated that God is not waiting to check off what sins are confessed. That mentality will cause greater anxiety, but focusing on God freeing us from sins that hold us back from his love will become "about the change of the heart," he said.
"If we're sincere in saying to God 'I can't do this without you, I'm sorry for how I messed it up, I depend on you,' then the specific things are not a problem. And we know the difference between I forgot and I didn't want to say it," he said.
Heart racing, sweaty palms and downcast eyes as the door to the confessional suddenly opens. If that description sounds familiar, put the fear to rest. Priests are not there to judge, but that concern about what a priest will think can cause the faithful to not confess certain sins weighing on the heart or avoiding confession all together. This fear stands in the way of our relationship with God.
"Priests commit sins too so we don't have any illusion that if you're not coming to confession it's cause you don't have any sins. Everybody commits sins," Father Pohlmeier said. "But what a priest thinks when he sees somebody go into confession is not, 'I can't believe you did that.' He thinks, 'This is amazing that you're here trying to reconcile with God. This is what's most important. This is why I am a priest.' So the opposite of what people think is what actually happens. When somebody that you know comes to confession and what you see is an honest and sincere desire to grow, I have actually more respect for you, not less."
Faithful can either confess face-to-face or behind a screen, but more in-depth, ongoing guidance, if desired, happens face to face.
There is also no requirement to say word for word the Act of Contrition, as there are many versions. Father Pohlmeier said while many apologize for not remembering the prayer, it's "perfectly fine for somebody to just make it up because the only point of it is conveying I'm sorry, I need God's help and I'm doing my best to be better. It can be the simplest act of contrition, 'Have mercy on me, a sinner.'"
Father Rappold said most parishes have materials available to explain the sacrament of confession while the faithful wait their turn.
"Don't worry about how long it has been or whether you're going to do it right. Every priest is there to help you," he said.

April is Parkinson's Awareness Month Parkinson's, which is characterized by a loss of certain nerve cells in the brain that regulate functions like motor control, affects about one million people in the U.S. and millions more globally. It is the second most common progressive neurological disorder and research shows prevalence in the U.S. is increasing. Parkinson's symptoms can be challenging to diagnose. And even once diagnosed and put on baseline Parkinson's treatment, many people with Parkinson's experience a return of their symptoms between doses, bringing a new meaning to "feeling off." For these people, these fluctuations between periods when symptoms are controlled – known as ON periods – and periods when symptoms return – known as OFF periods or OFF episodes, can be very … [Read more...]

Infectious disease, Can You Separate Fact from Fiction?

MISINFORMATION CAN BE SERIOUS There's been a lot of discussion around the mysterious polio-like illness occurring throughout the country, conflicting sentiment around vaccination, and the recent severity of flu epidemics – which killed about 80k people in the US last year alone.

Yesterday's policy announcement by Mr Corbyn reignited the lively debate about the place of assessment in primary education. In response, I offer my own opinion.
Paper and pencil testing is an important component of assessment design because many children benefit from recalling and recording information. Furthermore, if a test is to be national and standardised, cost and organisation dictates that it is pencil and paper. Unfortunately, by making the test national, standardised and pass/fail, many children with excellent understanding and skills learn to perceive themselves as stupid. I am one of those people who would welcome the abolition of SATs not because there is anything wrong with them but because on their own they are a poor way of assessing a child. Whilst a significant proportion of children who benefit from tests also enjoy them, including SATs, there are an equally significant proportion to whose skills and understanding this form of assessment fails to do justice. If we abolish SATs but keep testing as one component of a far more intelligent assessment system, we can impact positively on the education of all.
Over the last 30 years, I have taught many children who have excellent memories and flourish in tests. I have taught children with a wide range of barriers to memorisation who struggle in tests. Some of this latter group had excellent understanding. I could assess this in different ways including their sense of humour where they understood meaning beyond the literal or plays on words at a young age. Some children who found memorisation difficult had brilliant spatial awareness. This is not about learning styles nor multiple intelligences. Rather, assessment design has to reflect the diversity within human beings and within child development. To place too much emphasis on the paper and pencil test or to use it as the single simple assessment tool undermines the education of many children.
An intelligent assessment design system is underpinned by the capacity of the school to get to know the child well. This begins with home visits before the child starts school. Understanding the child's interests and development to that point enables the pedagogy and curriculum to fit the child not the other way round. Care should always be taken to ensure that visits to families should not be about judging the home. Early interactions should acknowledge that the parent is the expert on the child, albeit a subjective one, and that we need that expertise as much as parents need our collective subject knowledge, curriculum and pedagogy.
As the child grows, our understanding of them needs to be informed by a relationship that includes time to listen and observe as well as test against a curriculum designed to give children knowledge, understanding, skills and experiences. As well as clear modelling of concepts and well thought out questioning, there should be a real sense of purpose, audience and resource in order for the learning to tap into intrinsic motivation. A shared pride in a child's achievement and a desire to take the next step should be the outcome of assessment not a grade nor a sticker. Subject specific pedagogy should bring the child and curriculum together so that talents can be celebrated beyond memorisation.
The arguments against a more nuanced primary assessment design is, include, that teachers do not have the time. I would argue that, whilst we are limited, knowing the children, listening to both them and their parents saves time in the long run because we stop wasting effort on making the child fit the pedagogy and the one style of test. It should not be for the individual teacher to know, celebrate and challenge the child but for the whole primary school community. Another argument is that the assessment described briefly above, as well as being idealistic, would be subjective and schools could not be judged on it. That being the case, perhaps it is time that schools were judged on an exam undertaken by staff (including headteachers) each summer to determine how well the school knows their children.

HOTSPOT: Restaurant Pho
After eating at Vietnamese restaurant Kimmade, I want to explore more Vietnamese food in
Together with W. we had Vietnamese food at the Dutch city
Na Vietnamese restaurant Kimmade, wil ik meer Vietnamese voedsel verkennen in ons kikkerlandje. Op een dag zal ik echt Vietnamees gaan eten in Vietnam, maar voor nu zal ik het maar moeten doen met de pareltjes hier.
Samen met W. gingen we Vietnamees eten in de stad Rotterdam bij Restaurant Pho voor avondeten. Ik loop vaak langs deze plek en was zeer blij toen ik deze (best drukke) plek binnen treed. Ik was blij dat we een tafel konden krijgen binnen 5 minuten en dat zonder reservering, dus mijn tip voor u: reserveer!
We ordered:2 Saigon beer1 ice tea green1 veggie spring rolls1 Vietnamese chicken salad1 stir fried noodles shrimp1 pho chicken & shrimp
Goi Cuon Chay
For starters I've picked 'Goi Cuan Chay' which are 'veggie spring rolls' that came in 2 large - really large - rolls with 2 dipping sauce. The flavors were on spot, tangy, spicy and to be honest I was feeling a bit full after having them. For just 5 bucks I think it's a good plate.
If I had to compare with ones from Kimmade and Restaurant Pho, I think Kimmade have my slight vote.
Saigon beerI'm really not fond of beer but I haven't tried a Saigon beer before. Even though I prefer wine over beer I was willing to try out this Saigon beer! Me and my friend W. shared it and it tasted ok, perhaps better than a can of Heineken beer. My friend W. liked it though that he even ordered a 2nd one. Still, I'm no fond of beer myself. I'll take a Bailey anytime over beer!
Pho chicken and shrimp
I can't eat at a restaurant called Restaurant Pho without ordering pho right? Their menu is kind of disappointing in terms of vegetarian options which there wasn't many. In fact there were zero veggie options at the pho, rice and noodle dishes.
To my big disappointment I end up choosing the least meat option which is the pho chicken & shrimp and requested to have no chicken in it and the service kindly did that and it also came with a bowl of fresh salad.
The pho tasted really lovely and fragrant and oh boy I was so stuffed after finished this big steamy bowl!
Yumm, Vietnamese food is one of my favourites! I especially love making fresh spring rolls like those at home, they're such a delicious but healthy meal option :)ReplyDelete
Spring rolls are one of my favorites! They're so fresh tasting and yummy. I haven't been able to find a Pho around here that I really like yet. The ones I have tried include a lot of cilantro, which isn't one of my favorite things. It sure is a pretty dish though!ReplyDelete
That's too bad that they didn't have any vegetarian-friendly options on the menu, but I'm glad they were able to accommodate you by removing the chicken from the pho!ReplyDelete
Are you kidding me? This all looks amazing!ReplyDelete
The food serving is so big. I love it.
Thanks for sharing with us – I feel like going out to get pho myself.
I've never had Pho, and I feel like I'm missing out on an amazing thing in life! Need to get on that ASAPReplyDelete
GOALS! Eat real Vietnamese food in Vietnam. At least in the meantime it's good you can find places there to eat the food. I've enjoyed a few restaurants here, and one run by Vietnamese, and I could taste the difference between the owner owned vs. chain restaurant. You can only imagine the difference in Vietnam. :)ReplyDelete
These look so delicious,ReplyDelete
and I love very very Goi Cuon Chay!
Ah, it's hard to imagine you drinking alcohol! You seem so innocent for it, hahaha. The spring rolls look so tasty, I've been making some recently and it's nice for a healthy snack/meal!ReplyDelete
becky ♡ star violet
I'm sorry there was no veggie option, but that cause it isn't authentic otherwise. Cause the pho broth is made from chicken stock and beef bones. And I don't think you will find a veggie option in Vietnam =/ it just isn't a veggie friendly countryReplyDelete

vertaling! babyshower My best friend A. who I`ve known for more then 10 years has become a mummy of a wonderful daughter lately. Darn, I can`t believe it. I`m very happy of course but at the same time it feels surreal that my friend has a little one of her own now. Slowly but surely most of my age circles is either married, getting married, has a child or has crossed at least one of these 3. Me on the other hand I haven`t fulfilled any of them. Well sometimes I joke and tell people I do have children like 20 to be exact where I quickly add that I`m a primary school teacher. Ha, get it? Anyways, these life matters or milestones are no milestones to me at all. I`m quite content of where I am now. Not forced, single, working, growing and seeing my kids grow too is something I like about my work as a teacher so much.

Vine Vera - a scam or fan?
Have you heard of beauty brand Vine Vera before? No, me neither until I was in London when I passed a shop/spa and a salesman lured me in with a free moisture day cream sample. And the salesman whom is a foreigner immediately turned into a cunning selling mode by letting me try on Vine Vera's peeling treatment on my hand, telling me how big my pores are (gee thanks), the discounts and all the 'promising' results and glory of Vine Vera.
It was like a home shopping TV channel but then in real life.
Firstly, Vine Vera is hella expensive! And the salesman was not giving up in selling me the 'resveratrol merlot peeling'.
I was trying to nope-my-way-out to all his offer and he finally offered me the peeling for £50 instead £100. Along with a free hand cream, a free spa facial treatment (didn't go due my short stay in London), a spatula and another handful of free samples - I surrendered. This is probably my most expensive peeling yet.

Common Questions, Simple Answers
Q. What does "Activate my rail pass mean and how do I do it?
A. Activating your rail pass officially begins the clock on its travel period. This is done by having a railway official stamp and date your rail pass. Simply visit the ticket window at the train station before boarding your first train to have your pass activated. Most rail passes must be activated within 11 months of the purchase date. Boarding a train without activating your rail pass you risk being fined by the conductor.
Q. What should I do if the train is late?
A. It depends if you're traveling with train tickets that include a reservation or with open tickets. If your train ticket includes a reservation, then it's only valid for travel on the train for which it was issued. If the train is late, you'll need to wait until it arrives.
If you're traveling with open tickets you can decide to take another train, as long is it doesn't require a reservation and travels the same route as the one for which your open ticket was issued.
Q. How do I find my train?
A. Finding your train is fairly simple. You'll see large Departure and Arrival boards located in the center of most stations. Some stations also have TV monitors listing upcoming departing trains.
If you have a train ticket or rail pass with a reservation, simply match the train number and departure time on your reservation or ticket to the train number on the departure board. The platform number where you should go will be listed right next to it.
If you're traveling with open train tickets or a rail pass and no reservation, then you don't have a specific train and seat assigned to you. If you've done your research in advance, you probably already know the time and train number of the train you want to take, so just look for it on the board. If you decided to show up at the station with the intention of taking the first train departing for where you want, make sure to check with a station agent and find out if that train requires a reservation.
Q. Can I print my train ticket at the station?
A. Some, but not all train tickets can be printed at a train station in Europe. Once you've selected a particular train ticket and begin checkout, all delivery options will be presented to you. You will then be able to select, if offered, "Print at the Station e-ticket".
Q. My promo code is not working. What should I do?
A. If for any reason you experience an issue with your promo code, please verify that all criteria are met for the code to be valid (dates, booking minimum, products, etc.). If all of this seems correct, make sure you're using the correct code. If you received your code in an email, sometimes it's best to copy and paste the code to avoid typographical errors.
If you continue to have trouble, get in touch with us using our Contact Us page.
Q. Can I choose whether my tickets or rail passes are delivered as paper documents or electronically?
A. All available delivery options for how your train tickets, rail passes, and/or reservations can be issued will be presented to you during checkout.
Q. A rail strike in Europe prevented me from fully using my rail pass as intended. Can I get a refund on the unused days?
A. Passes that have been activated or partially used are not eligible for a refund. You may wish to have your pass cancelled and noted by a European railroad official that it was "not used due to a strike" and return it to our customer relations department. The claim will be reviewed to see if we are able to provide compensation depending on the European railroads' policies. Please send us a message using the Contact Us page on our site.
Q. Should I buy my rail pass or train ticket before I leave for Europe?
A. Yes. We find that when traveling abroad, it's always best to book before you depart from home. That way, you'll arrive with the proper paper documents in-hand and avoid fully booked trains that can disrupt your travel plans. This is especially important during the summer months when trains in Europe tend to sell out quickly due to increased tourism.
Most trains can be reserved 90-days in advance of the day you'd like to travel. Again, it's best to reserve as soon as possible to guarantee that you'll have a seat on board.
Q. Can I purchase seat reservations from Rail Europe once I'm already traveling in Europe?
A. Yes, but only when an e-ticket is offered for the train you want to take. If only a paper train ticket is offered, you'll need (and want) to purchase your reservation(s) locally at the train station to avoid international shipping fees and delivery times.
Q. Where do I my send train tickets and/or rail passes for refund?
A. We recommend that any documents being returned for refund be sent via traceable mail for proof of delivery.
Please visit our Cancellation and Refunds page for information regarding refunds. If you need further assistance we invite you to send us a message using our Contact Us page.

There are general recommendations for stress management that can be applied in most situations.

This session shifts from the 14Hz sensormotor rhythm through beta to 40Hz gamma, and repeats the pattern over and over, constantly "revving up"the mind with each repetition. The process is stabilized with a 10Hz background alpha beat, allowing the brain a place to relax instantly, whenever a let up allows. Use this session any time, and for as long as required to get the job done. Take in a High Energy Espresso on long-hauls for a welcome lift. Works without headphones, but the best benefits can be found with them. The session finishes at a fast, revving 18Hz beta. For use mainly with eyes open, engaged in activity - with benefit to be gained from periodically closing your eyes briefly and relaxing.
If you're struggling to focus and feeling a bit tired and unmotivated while studying, you can help boost your concentration and energy levels by increasing Beta activity. The SMR range is right at the bottom of the Beta range, so it's not too intense, and so is ideal for playing in the background and using as a general study aid. If you are looking for something a bit higher for a more intense focus session, try my Study Focus isochronic tones session, which uses frequencies between 14-17Hz.
The implications and potential benefits of brainwave entrainment technology are staggering, and a seemingly infinite amount of doors have been opened to be explored. This technology is highly useful in the self-help/personal development field in a variety of ways. It can also be used to enhance NLP and hypnosis recordings to make the mind more receptive to suggestion. Brainwave entrainment can be applied to help people fall asleep, to improve focus and concentration, or to relax. Recent and modern experiments are also being held to see if brainwave entrainment may help to treat and/or cure mental "disorders" such as depression or ADD. One of the most common and popular uses of brainwave entrainment is to effortlessly induce deep meditative states.
Laughter releases endorphins that improve mood and decrease levels of the stress-causing hormones cortisol and adrenaline. Laughing tricks your nervous system into making you happy. Our suggestion: watch some classic Monty Python skits like "The Ministry of Silly Walks." Those Brits are so hilarious, you'll soon be cracking up, rather than cracking up.
In general, we are accustomed to being in the beta brain rhythm. We are in a Beta brainwave pattern when we are consciously alert. It is the default and dominant brainwave for most of us most of the time. We are in Beta when we feel agitated, tense, hurried, pressured, afraid and stressed. The frequencies range from 13 to 60 pulses per second in the Hertz scale.
When I am using equisync I feel kind of like it is "pushing me" – I guess this is the right way to say it- to achieve better results, which I really like. I fall asleep quickly, and sleep all night and even wake up before my alarm goes off. I feel noticeably calm during the workday- which is very helpful for what I do. I really like the warm feeling (my whole body gets really warm during my equisync meditation sessions) and I feel kind of like Im floating while listening. The soothing rainfall is also very nice.
By the 1980s, entrainment technology had merged with advancements in microelectronics technology, making it possible to develop even more sophisticated audio and visual brainwave entrainment products for the marketplace. In the last two decades, a number of scientific studies have reported brainwave entrainment as an effective remedy for ADD, academic learning problems, and improving memory and cognition.
Let's say you're listening to a sound in your left ear that's at a frequency of 132 Hertz (Hz). And in your right ear, you're listening to a sound that's at a frequency of 121 Hz. Your brain, however, gradually falls into synchrony with the difference — or 11 Hz. Instead of hearing two different tones, you instead hear a tone at 11 Hz (in addition to the two tones given to each ear).
There's no doubt that brainwave entrainment audio is a great technology for anyone who is interested in encouraging altered states of consciousness and it certainly can help people to reach deeper states of relaxation than they might normally have access to. I myself will often listen to brainwave entrainment music in order to enhance my practice of meditation. But let's keep a balanced perspective, put all the marketing hype to one side for a moment and acknowledge that there is no brainwave entrainment technology in this world that can make you meditate like a Zen monk "at the touch of a button", despite what some might like you to believe. The mind is NOT a machine. It moves through various states of consciousness in an organic way and at a natural pace. We certainly can guide and accelerate that process with the use of brainwave entrainment audio, but we cannot control it with the same sort of specificity and immediacy as you might control the speed of the car you drive.
Although there is a general stress response pattern, there can be variations in the response according to the characteristics of the stressor (10). Individuals tend to respond differently based on the familiarity of the stressor. For example, the perceived level of stress and physiological response when giving a presentation to a group of work colleagues will likely be less than when presenting to an unfamiliar group. The stress response also varies depending on the level of perceived control one has over the stressor (10). If there is a way for one to actively cope with the stressor that is reasonable, then the individual usually perceives more control over the situation. Consider an individual who has to take a certification examination for work and has 6 months to prepare. He can adjust his schedule to accommodate study time. However, waiting for medical test results that show whether one has a serious illness does not allow a sense of control over the stressor, and the individual passively endures the stressor or may try to avoid the stressor. With this uncontrollable type of stressor, there is a more negative reaction with greater productions of cortisol, which can have damaging health effects because of the suppression of immune function (10).
Then in my own research regarding my life-long hypertension and its resistance to medication, I became very concerned when I learned that 145/95 is the gateway to dementia. At that time my BP was consistently 145/95. Then, even worse, it started to become routinely 161/106. I was simply unwilling to take more medication with all its attendant side effects, so I started researching natural solutions. I became aware of a breathing apparatus which sold for $300 that would help me train myself to deep breathe, thereby reducing my blood pressure. $300 seemed like a lot, but not in the scheme of saving my life. I started thinking. I already knew how to breathe from my brief studies in Chi Gung. I simply needed something to help me focus my mind. I tried using the Chi Gung breathing while simply counting 200 breaths. It worked for a short while, but I quickly became far too bored, even though I knew it could be a lifesaving measure. I had been considering EquiSync for sometime, and realized it was much less expensive than a $300 breathing regulator, and that it might serve a dual purpose. So I purchased the entire suite.
Anabel caught this Raikou after it was released following the battle against the Masked Man. She is said to have captured this Legendary Pokémon during her trip somewhere in Johto. Raikou has been with her since then and she continues to rely on it for all of her battles. Because it carries a large thundercloud on its back, it both allows a handier usage of its trademark Thunder as well as strengthen it.
Gamma waves are the most recently discovered brainwave, a discovery made possible by digital EEG technology. Gamma is associated with the integration of information from different areas of the brain, and having a good memory is associated with having a certain baseline of 40 hertz gamma activity. Low gamma activity is associated with learning disabilities and poor memory.
The immobilization response. If you've experienced some type of trauma and tend to "freeze" or become "stuck" under stress, your challenge is to first rouse your nervous system to a fight or flight response (above) so you can employ the applicable stress relief techniques. To do this, choose physical activity that engages both your arms and legs, such as running, dancing, or tai chi, and perform it mindfully, focusing on the sensations in your limbs as you move.
An invigorating, brain-sharpening session, this audio starts at 14Hz, a beta feel-good frequency, and SR harmonic. It then steps up in six-minute harmonic increments, gradually up to gamma 39Hz, leaving you feeling mentally stimulated and full of energy. A binaural beat track supports the main frequencies for those wearing headphones. Uplifting background music with embedded amplitude modulation provides a further layer of entrainment. Excellent for use as a morning alarm clock, ahead of a big night out, or to inspire those tired trips to the gym.

The baby above is my son. I started baby sign language with him a bit when he was around 8-month-old. The not-so-pretty sign above was not on our agenda, though. 🙂
Jokes aside, teaching signing to a baby, even if it is just a sign or two is really cool! Imagine an 8-month-old baby being able to use baby sign language to say that he is hungry instead of whining…
Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
Baby sign language is a relatively new trend, and growing rapidly. Studies have shown that children that have learned to sign have a higher IQ, that they actually start talking earlier and with a better vocabulary and that they are less frustrated. Good reasons to try it out!
Well, I think there is another even stronger reason: Why not just try it out to have fun together with your baby and maybe to be able to understand him or her better and faster?
One mom also told me about another advantage: Her child, now old enough to play outside in the garden, can use signs instead of shouting to his mom when she talks to him through the window.
How To Get Going With Baby Sign Language
When to start
When to start signing with your baby is very much up to you. You can start early, and maybe get your baby to start doing signs already at 7 or 8-month-old.
Or you start later when your baby is trying harder to communicate by use of words, faces and hands. This way you'll probably notice a result faster. Also, some babies are busier trying to get moving than trying to communicateb. And the other way around.
But I need to learn too…
Baby signing is not difficult! But it can be hard to actually get going, especially for someone has never used sign language before (like most of us). "I'll start tomorrow…"
Attending a baby signing class is a perfect way to learn how to do it and to actually get around to start. And it's fun! But if you can't find a course that works for you, you at least need to check some instructive videos or buy a book.
There are two different "schools" regarding baby sign language at present, represented by the authors Linda Acredolo and Joseph Garcia. The have both written very popular books, Baby Signs (Linda Acredolo et al) and Sign With Your Baby (Joseph Garcia). The difference between those is that only Garcia actually uses proper American Sign Language, so if that is important for you, go for his book.
However, if you're not American and you'll have to buy an additional book with your country's sign language, then either of the books may be a good help.
Here you'll find Garcia's DVD and book kits on baby sign language.
And here's the link to Linda Acredolo's book.
Choosing language
Did you know that sign language is not universal? That is such a shame! But that's how it is.
I suggest you use signs from the sign language in your country. That way both you and your child actually learn a new language that is useful where you live.
Also, if your baby will go to a day care center at some point, chances are higher that the teachers will be able to interpret your baby's signs if they are the "real thing".
If this is not at all important for you, go ahead and make up your own signs! In this case, you may find the book
Start slowly
Don't be too ambitious. Pick only one or a few signs to start with. Signs for food, drink, sleep and pacifier mayby if your child uses one.
Since you need to do the sign more or less every time you refer to the word you want to teach, you will not be comfortable having to sign in each and every sentence. At least not in the beginning before you get used to signing.
Don't give up
Just as babies understand words long before they show it, the same goes with signing.
Depending on your baby's age and interest, he or she might start using the signs after only a few days or after several weeks. If it takes time, don't be discouraged.
Get your family involved
Ask your spouse and your baby's older siblings to help out. This way your infant will see the signs more often and everybody in the family will be able to understand the baby's signs when he starts doing them.
And it's fun! Siblings can be really thrilled when the baby suddenly starts communicating! Not to mention what a party trick it is! 🙂
And repeat…
Repetition. For you, NOT the baby. Learning to sign should be effortless for your baby. It is about you (and everyone else around the baby if possible) to do the specific sign every time that word comes up. And if (when) your baby starts doing the sign, you can certainly reinforce that by big smile and also see if you can encourage doing more of the sign by making it a game – baby signs pacifier, gets pacifier, mom signs pacifier and gets it. And repeat. But only if baby wants to!
Web resources & video gallery
In addition to learning material you buy, you should of course also check out the free resources around the web if you want to learn more. Youtube has a lot of material these days.
in addition, you are likely to be able to find pictures of specific signs in your country, as well as forums to discuss baby signing, classes to attend, books and more.
To get started, have look at the video gallery for baby sign language here below. Good luck!![dzs_videogallery id="sign language" db="main"]

The overall look and style of the space should be taken into account, so that a ceiling lighting fixture complements and accentuates the look. A huge chandelier looks out of place in a small space, just as a small chandelier is easily overlooked in a large space.
Some people who think about installing outdoor ceiling lights or replacing the ones that they currently have sometimes don't know what kinds of lights will best suit the outdoor area that they are illuminating. Choosing outdoor lights need not be that complicated as long as you are armed with a few ideas that can help you when you make your choice. Some of the things you need to consider when you are thinking of getting new outdoor lights include the location of these fixtures, the amount of light you want these fixtures to have, the kind of design you want these fixtures to be in and the reasons why you want a place illuminated.
First thing you might need to figure out if you are thinking of lighting an outdoor part of your home is the reason why you are illuminating this area. Your reasons could include security, the need to have the place lighted for future entertaining uses or for ambiance purposes. You will also need to figure out how much light you will need this place to have. If you are thinking of entertaining in the area you are illuminating, you might need to have more than one fixture installed to do this. The number of lights you install in an outdoor area may also depend on the size of the area that you will be lighting up.

Comwave / extremely poor service
Have been trying to obtain a pin number to activate my mobile phone. Service as been paid for. Called Comwaves service department and was told that no information could be passed on by them. However I could send an E-Mail stating my problem.This as been done with no response from the people that took my money. In closing I would say that the said operation needs some scrutiny by someone with official status. Thank You.

Tuesday's look was in dramatic contrast to last Saturday when the actress arrived at Derby Day in a high-necked white midi-dress by Jonathan Simkhai and a matching turban by Ann Shoebridge. The former Home And Away star also confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that she is still single following her split from husband Braith last year. 'I'm single and just focused on work to be honest. I don't really have time to date right now,' she said. The pair, who share two-year-old daughter Aleeia, split in December just days after they were seen having a heated argument in a Coogee park.

Holders who've reached the equilibrium will due to this fact dump some of their Pareto tokens on the secondary market, providing additional platform liquidity. This is why I am a fan of video games doing that factor where interactive objects have icons over them or are highlighted by a glimmer effect. This is similar digital camera effect that we see in Shadow of the Colossus when Wander climbs to the highest of a save shrine, the digital camera routinely pans out to offer you a overview of the encompassing landscape.

So ICO leads Yorda to the opposite aspect of the hall to 5 arched home windows which ICO can climb. Cross of the bridge into a brand new room, go to the lower platform where you can see a ladder and climb this. Push the platform to the close to end of the observe, then climb the ladder on its side and jump over to the stone balcony. Climb these ledges and go although the door into the courtyard you handed over on the bridge to the room you simply left. Starting Monday, ICO actions must be halted, and ICO platforms should not engage in change companies between fiat currencies, virtual cash and tokens, mentioned a statement from the People's Financial institution of China. I consider Shadow of the Colossus certainly one of, if not my most favourite sport.

I'm a self-confessed bookworm with no qualms about turning down a wild night out in favour of a good novel. I read for fun. But as a writer and someone who thinks deeply about the words on a page, I also read to learn. It's all about the literary journey. So, instead of curling up in a corner and keeping those adventures to myself, I'm sharing some of the best writing lessons I learnt from 5 inspiring authors.
#1 Paulo Coelho – write from your soul
Paulo Coelho is famed for writing The Alchemist, a literary blockbuster and allegorical tale which centres around the philosophical idea "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe will conspire so that your wish comes true." It's comprised of simple yet uplifting language such as "one is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving." But aside from making me want to get off my couch and do something productive, what did I learn?
Well, after some research I discovered that Paulo Coelho wrote The Alchemist in just two weeks because it was already in his soul. He said: "And then it took me, yes, two weeks to put it down on paper; but the book was there long before, because it is my life."
Paulo Coelho is also an inspiration when it comes to facing fears. He said during a rare interview: "So, my dream since I was very, very young was to be a writer, though I – well, I was procrastinating, because sometimes you fear to face your reason to be here."
The lesson is one I believe in deeply. What you speak, you create. Put your desires out into the universe and she will return them to you.
#2 Arthur Golden – write from life experience
Arthur Golden is famed for writing the famous 1997 novel Memoirs of a Geisha which documents the fictional tale of a geisha working in Kyoto Japan, before and after World War II. It has since been adapted into a movie. While Golden is an American novelist, he used his educational background and life experiences to create a magical tale that's wonderfully descriptive.
When asked "what sparked your interest in the subject of a geisha?" Golden replied: "I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school, and afterward went to work in Tokyo, where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha. He and I never discussed his parentage, which was an open secret, but it fascinated me.
After returning to the U.S., I began work on a novel in which I tried to imagine this young man's childhood. Gradually I found myself more interested in the life of the mother than the son and made up my mind to write a novel about a geisha." He added, "I read everything I could find on the subject, in English and in Japanese."
The lesson here is to know your subject matter really well. Read, read and read some more!
#3 JK Rowling – never give up
A writer's life is full of doubts and trepidation. Crumpled paper fills the bin and with more than one notepad scrawled with crossed out notes, self-doubt can creep in. This is particularly true when writing something that comes from your heart. It exposes the soul. But as JK Rowling has shown, it's essential to never give up. Despite living on government handouts as a single mum and facing numerous rejections from publishers, Rowling said: "I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels." This drive and determination eventually led her to becoming one of the most successful novelists in the world with Harry Potter enjoying a cult following.
Interestingly, Rowling used her darker days to fuel some of the best parts of her books. The Dementors in the Harry Potter series are a reflection of the depression Rowling suffered and the decision to portray it in this way was "entirely conscious. And entirely from my own experience."
There are several lessons we can take from J.K. Rowling. Of course the first is never to give up. The second is to draw on your own life experiences for a truly immersive and believable narrative.
#4 Danielle Steel – keep the fire burning
Danielle Steel is a best-selling author known for sassy novels as well as political thrillers such as Dangerous Games. As well as writing page-turners, Steel's enthusiasm for her career is truly motivational. The way she talks about writing is inspiring and shows the positive attitude needed to keep the fire burning. Essentially, if you don't enjoy it, don't do it or it will likely reflect in your work.
During a live interview with GMA, Steel explained an incident which occurred as she was writing. She said: "I ended up calling my editor in the middle of the night, when somebody kills someone else and said, 'you're never going to believe it. He just killed him."
The lesson here is to allow yourself to be absorbed in your work and passionate about your stories. If you are not a passionate writer, how can you expect to foster passionate readers?
#5 Margaret Atwood – be thought provoking
Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel The Handmaid's Tale was written as 'speculative fiction'. Or, a work of fiction that could potentially happen. It documents the downfall of women's rights amid a patriarchal society in a gripping and jaw-dropping way that makes people question their surroundings. And yes I was gripped.
Atwood wrote in 2012: "Nations never build apparently radical forms of government on foundations that aren't there already." For some, the book even highlights problems with today's society especially around President Trump's authoritarian tendencies and his vice president's anti-gay and anti-women's rights beliefs. You can check out more about that here.
When asked: "Why was it important to give silent women a voice in The Handmaid's Tale? Atwood described how the 80s was a decade of pushback against the rising of feminism during which people started saying gains should be reversed. The Handmaid's tale was an answer to the question: if you're going to shove women back in the home and reverse all the gains you'd made; how would you do that?
You can see the full interview here.
Margaret teaches us that it's essential to question injustice and be thought provoking in your writing. This type of literature has been critically important in sparking change.
