We are happy to feature a guest blogger this week, Sebastian Harris of Global Seducers, to discuss 10 essential ingredients for the perfect relationship cake.
A perfect relationship is like a cake. If one ingredient is missing, you can throw away the whole thing.
I know what you are thinking right now.
"How can you be so cruel to say that I should end my relationship, even though there is just one missing ingredient that would make it perfect?"
I say this because I have seen too many men who ended up and stayed in relationships in which they felt frustrated, unloved and completely unhappy. Whenever someone says to me that his relationship is okay and that no relationship is perfect, I get my hackles up.
The statement that there is no perfect relationship and that you can't find someone who is perfect for you is nothing but an excuse. It's an excuse to stay in the unfulfilling relationship that you are currently trapped in, instead of leaving the safe harbor in order to go on a quest to find the girl of your dreams.
How do you know if you have finally found the girl and the relationship of your dreams? The following ten ingredients will show you if she's perfect for you or not. Let's find out if you won the lottery or the booby prize.
- Unlimited Support
The first ingredient of a perfect relationship is unlimited support. It is relatively easy to support someone if he is absolutely fine, if he makes enough money and if he is in good health. Every woman will be there for you when everything is fine. However, not every woman will give you the support that you need when you are at your lowest.
The girl who is still there for you when you lose everything is the girl you should keep in your life when you achieve success. In fact, you are more likely to achieve success if you have a girlfriend who supports you in everything you do.
A woman who supports you, who encourages you and who motivates you to follow your own path, makes it a lot easier to achieve your goals.
- Acceptance
Sometimes your girlfriend does things that annoy you. Maybe her skin care products cover the whole bathroom floor and maybe you want to cry whenever she asks you to watch a romantic comedy movie with her. There are probably also a couple of things that are annoying for her. Just think about football, video games and burping.
Unhappy couples and happy couples have a different way of dealing with those things. Unhappy couples try to change each other. This endeavor results in endless conversation and arguments that can't be won.
Happy couples won't try to change each other. They simply accept the peculiarities of their partner. They don't do this because they have to, but because they want to. That's what you do when you love someone.
- Unconditional Love
Unconditional love is another extremely important ingredient of the perfect relationship cake. If your girlfriend loves you unconditionally, she also loves you when you have an argument or when you are thousands of miles away.
You won't ever experience what it means to be loved in an unconditional way, if you waste your time with girls who only love your money and your status, while they pretend to love the amazing person you truly are.
Unless your girlfriend loves you in a real, authentic and unconditional way, you shouldn't even think about settling down. Settling down is only worthwhile if you have found a girl who thinks "you are the love of my life" while she looks you deep into the eyes.
- Loyalty
"These hoe's ain't loyal"
When you believe Chris Brown, most girls will leave you as soon as another guy with more money shows up. I wouldn't say that most girls would do that, but I can't doubt the fact that there are some women out there who are anything but loyal. Of course there are also a lot of men who are anything but loyal.
There are already enough men and women for whom loyalty is nothing but an outdated word with no meaning. I really hope that you and your girlfriend know the importance of loyalty and that you know how essential it is for a relationship.
If your girlfriend isn't loyal, you won't ever be able to trust her. I don't know about you but I don't want to be in a relationship with a person who I can't trust.
- Laughing about the Same Stupid Jokes
Humor is an important part of life. Joking around and laughing is good for your mood and for your health. The only thing that is even worse than having no one to joke around with is spending your time with someone you can't joke around with.
I know from my own experience how frustrating it can be to be in a relationship with a girl who has absolutely no humor. Seriously, she couldn't even raise the corners of her mouth without getting a cramp.
If you can't laugh about the same things, you won't be able to create as many unforgettable and fun moments as couples who have the same humor. Sooner or later you'll get the feeling that there is something missing in your relationship.
- Sharing Your Life
A lot of people say that the best aspect of a relationship is that you can share your life with another person. The only tricky thing is that most of those people have absolutely no clue what it really means to share your life with someone.
Sharing your life with another human being consists of more than saying that your working day wasn't as bad as the last one. Sharing your life with someone means revealing your deepest fears, your insecurities, your joy and your dreams. It means opening up and accepting your own vulnerability by showing your real face.
A girl who allows you to take off your mask and to reveal your true self is a girl who deserves it to be called a perfect girlfriend.
- Walking on the Same Path
If your path is completely different than the path of your girlfriend, you should better walk in two opposite directions. It might be hard to accept but the truth is that you can't plan a future together if you both want different things in your life.
You can't expect to end up happily ever after if you want to travel the world without any obligations and she wants to start a family. Eventually, you'll both end up miserable because you agree upon some wishy-washy compromise that isn't good for both of you.
If it is your dream to walk the path of life with the woman of your dreams you should make sure that this woman wants to walk in the same direction as you.
- Having the Same Values
Your values determine your actions and your behavior. In case you are a person who values honesty and respect, you probably don't want to waste your time with people who are lying to you and who disrespect you. The last thing you want is to date an inauthentic and fake girl. At least I hope so.
What you want is a girl who has the same values as you. You want a girl who is honest, who shows you her real face and who respects you in public and at home. That's the kind of girl you want and that's the kind of girl who will make you happy.
A relationship with a girl who doesn't have the same values as you will only force you to pretend to be someone you are not. This is something that no man should ever do.
- Enjoying the Moment without Words
Do you know what I enjoy most in my relationship? I enjoy that I can just be me and that I feel loved and fulfilled while being in the presence of my girlfriend. I can be in the same room with her for twenty minutes without saying a word and still feel this incredible sense of connection.
Enjoying the moment without words is something that only a few couples are able to do. Once you have found a girl who makes you happy by just being near you, you should do everything to make her stay.
- Practicing the Art of Listening
Talking is easy but listening is an art that many people never learned to master. We human beings love to talk about ourselves and sometimes it seems that we are totally happy as long as we hear our own voice every day.
The only thing that a lot of men are not so enthusiastic about is listening to what the girl they are together with has to say. This changes as soon as you have found the right girl. I can listen to my girlfriend for hours and I never get bored.
From the first day of our relationship we practiced the art of listening. We talked about everything and we tried to get to know us through our words. This allowed us to find out more about each other within a couple of days than other couples find out in ten years of marriage.
A girl who listens to all your problems and your dreams will be the one who helps you to solve those problems and to live the life of your dreams.
Special thank you to our guest blogger this week, Sebastian Harris of Global Seducer.

Free Will North Church Project Space
Tides Institute and Museum of Art, Eastport, Maine
A forecast is a prediction, a prophecy, based upon events of the past, that anticipates the future.
FORECAST brings together the work of two artists from across borders, Shoshannah White (Portland, Maine) and Charley Young (Halifax, Nova Scotia). Based on their experiences in both Svalbard, Norway and Prince William Sound, Alaska, the work is a parallel inquiry into transformation, uncertain landscapes and sacred spaces.
Ice, at times translucent, opaque and often almost invisible, is in a constant state of flux. In glacier form, it is melting, growing, compressing. From liquid to solid, it holds our planetary history in its transparent layers and informs the future based on the past. It carves into mountains and leaves moraines and new landscapes as it recedes. Collected as data, a series of recorded points becomes a line, a trajectory, a forecast. Through practically imperceptible changes, the contours of our Northern environments expose carved landscapes – making visible, the voids left by receding glaciers.
Materials used in this installation include those which block out weather and light, Tyvek and black-out cloth – both meant to protect us from the elements and record things we cannot see: the space between mountains and hidden information within transparent ice.
Featured works by Charley Young:
CARVED CONTOUR, is a site-specific installation that traces the perimeter of mountains ridges to give shape to an often invisible void space. Created using Duvetyn, a light masking material, this work imagines the erasure of this alpine environment and explores the cross-cultural worship of mountains.
This sculptural work indexically records the form of melting glacier ice sourced from Prince William Sound, Alaska.
SWELL A frottage rubbing by Charley Young using glacier ice sourced from Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Life is absolutely ridiculously hard and having chronic illnesses and family drama doesn't help ease the load of learning to manage a budget all your own and survive those rough college finals. If you decide to add pursuing dreams now (instead of waiting for twenty five thousand years) to the list- well you're in for a treat.
The kind that tastes like moldy bread.
I don't actually know what that tastes like… just roll with me.
My first years of becoming an adult were really hard. Cause duh. It's that way for everyone!
But seriously. When I turned 19, I was a workaholic putting on a huge outdoor event for a thousand people, facing my dad's sudden diagnosis with stage three cancer and the start of a whole crappy chronic-illness adventure of my own. When I was 20, I focused on recovering from the death of my grandpa and a dear friend, struggling to come to grips with my FMS diagnosis, trying to heal from a childhood trauma that was finally being addressed, and climbing my way out of the murky depths of fear after my parents suddenly got divorced. Then I hit 21 and life seemed to get better only to hit another really rough patch with the fibro and the heartbreak of that on-again-off-again relationship I keep bringing up, oh and my entire life will change starting on August 1st.. but I'll get to that on August 1st.
I haven't talked about it much because it gets such a bad rep in the Christian department- but all of this made me severely depressed. Wishing-death-on-myself depressed.
On the outside I was a strong shoulder for my family and friends and anybody who needed me; on the inside I was a desolate wilderness of heartache and desperation to feel anything other than this gnawing pit of hatred and sadness.
I remember having a very frank conversation with a friend in which I off-handedly told her during a rare soul-purge: "If I didn't think it'd land me in hell, I'd definitely have killed myself by now."
I know that's an ugly thing to say, especially for a Christian… I know we aren't supposed to say things like that or admit to thinking things like that, but it was the God's honest truth. I'm embarrassed to share that truth, but as I've said before- I don't believe in secrets. I was in a really, really dark place.
I didn't talk to anyone about it, just kept it all trapped inside and pretended not to feel it.
Eventually, I didn't feel it. I wasn't a happy person, I just became good at boxing up and shoving the emotions of pain into my heart's creepy attic.
I hid behind snarky-but-true comments and cynical laughter that had the whole world thinking I was hurting but okay.
I was drowning in frustration. I was angry at everyone around me (I still struggle with this) and wanted to slap or punch literally everyone for the dumbest stuff. I never did, of course, but I wanted to.
So mom suggested I (read: forced me to) see a therapist. I think I only had three sessions with the lady in total, but they helped.
You may be wondering why I shared all of that. Well this is it:
It's okay to talk about it. In fact you should. And if you can't bring yourself to unload your problems on friends and family, it's okay to see a "shrink" and it's okay to cry about all your problems to a stranger.
I didn't waltz out of those sessions feeling like Queen Rachel of the Happy Village Full of Happy People, but I did come out with a better grasp on reality.
The therapist helped me acknowledge my pain (emotional and physical) and helped me logic-out what I was feeling about others.
She reminded me that it's okay to feel.
Because of her, I've slowly been dragging those boxes down from the attic. I've been sifting through them over time and I'm nowhere near finished. But it's working. Some of the pain is being unloaded from my heart as I empty the boxes.
My method has been writing my memoir(s?) because my therapist jokingly suggested I write a soap opera about my life. I'll show her. I'm definitely worth a NYT Bestseller over some lame soap.
Sort of.
Anyways- there have been some total and complete meltdowns along the way. I randomly terrified a friend by dumping all the hate and pain and sadness I'd been trapping in my heart's attic in a very not ladylike, not Christlike, manner on them (not the method I suggest for talking about it)… don't worry, I repented for it all later. And just Friday night, I had a middle of the night melt where I bawled like a baby to my mom and Thomas and Sarah (which was a weird role-reversal thing that I'm not sure I liked).
I still have a lot of crap to go through. I should probably schedule another session because some old resentments have started to flare up and I'm starting to feel that suffocating anxious-depression-and-I-hate-all-people-everywhere thing again.
But I'm healing.
Grief is hard. Life is hard.
It doesn't have to be faced silently.
And it's not all in your head (or maybe it is, the therapist can help you determine that – some of my issues were just in my head). It's okay to tell someone about it. I promise you, it'll help.
So if you're barely breathing because feeling is just too painful, get help.
You are so very incredibly worth it.
Have you ever seen a therapist? What are your thoughts on it all- did it help? Do you keep things pent up or do you generally dump all your problems out via words?

I want to believe. Really, I do. Surely, the truth is out there. But I'm wondering if "The X-Files," when it returns to TV later this month, will be able to recapture the pre-millennial moods and mysteries that made it a cult hit in the 1990s.
Should we yearn for the days when an empty factory could be a secret base for otherwordly conspirators, when white unmarked vans were filled with shape-shifting apparitions of unspeakable menace, when that small town in the Midwest was the sinister nest for a psychic serial killer, thus making Area 51 the real dream destination for a millions of fans of the show?
Fourteen years since its last show,"The X-Files" returns to television on FOX-TV on Jan. 24 to re-introduce viewers to its supernatural darkness, with its own mythological arc, kept in the unlit basement of the American psyche. After more than a decade of only having the re-runs, "The X-Files" is ready to spring again like a Jack-in-the-box of ill-fated portents.
While Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) will return for a mere six episodes, they are most certainly doing a victory lap for the two beloved characters who embody the rational and irrational in all of us. One is left to wonder if the show might feel naive, out of place in an entertainment mecca overwhelmed by dangers reflecting a brutal world like in "Game of Thrones," except without the dragons. The sci-fi horror drama will return to a world challenged by fluctuating economic conditions, climate change and terrorism.
And so how can you top that?
Will the return of "The X-Files" really reflect the mysteries for our times?
The world has changed a lot since the show first aired on Sept. 10, 1993. The internet had not yet been popularized, the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were still standing, and the country had yet to face the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. The show petered out less than a year after Sept. 11, 2001, as the television universe moved into a more anti-terrorism narrative, with shows like "24," which made it look like the landscape was being taken over by cell phones, or films such as "Zero Dark Thirty," which peered into the behind-the-scenes machinations of torture and military special ops with a patriotic sheen.
But "The X-Files" creator Chris Carter says he sees potential episodes for the show by reading the news every day, and few could argue that the real world is far weirder than it once was. Just look at your cell phone with the app set for panic.
The common view on the show was that it emerged out of the cynicism of the 1990s. However, I believe it really dug further into the roots of national paranoia going back to the 1950s, when Sen. Joseph McCarthy ratcheted up the Cold War with charges of communist infiltration, when people still believed aliens crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, and then the 1960s, when the unsatisfactory results of the Warren Commission turned theories about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy into a cottage industry for conspiracy theories. Since World War II and the atomic bomb, politics and fear have become twin sides of the same coin, and if anything, "The X-Files" managed to capture all of it with a slick, post-modern show that turned the relatively calm and seeming stability of the Clinton years into a looming dystopian nightmare.
By tackling marginal FBI cases where the paranomal was involved, agents Mulder and Scully rode the fear wave into the approaching century, that, as some might remember, was likely to begin with all of the computers turning off across the world within the first minutes of 2000 (didn't happen). And yes, by 2012 you might have wondered if the super rich were pilfering the economy to buy tickets for space flights to get off the planet, but four years since then we have realized the billionaire elite were just plain greedy.
For myself, "The X-Files" ended as America's zeitgeist show, with one of the first episodes of the spinoff created about the geeks from X-Files, "The Lone Gunmen," in the summer of 2001. That episode dealt with a conspiracy to crash airliners into the World Trade Center. Shot shortly before 9/11, the episode was certainly prescient, but also more than a little sickening.
The main question is that, in the shadow of all that's happened since "The X-Files" last aired in 2002, is the appetite there for themes that aren't mostly character driven? Without a doubt, the mere appearance of Mulder-Scully on TV is a resuscitation of two of the great heroes in television history. But I have my doubts if all of those sewer monsters and hick vampires are going to scare anybody in an age of anthrax and super storms and Donald Trump. Global surveillance and cyber wars are certainly cause for concern. However, do they make for good "X-Files" episodes?
Sounds like a lot of looking at computer screens to me.
"The X-Files" was certainly a show for its time, but like bringing back the boys for that name brand band to go on tour again, the return of the show may make us feel sentimental for the good ol' days when all that you had to worry about was whether some intergallactic fiend is going to inject you with a black fluid to turn you into some kind of alien-Earth hybrid.
The truth is out there, sure. It's in plain view. It's hanging out with ebola and freaks like Bernie Madoff. Now I wonder if the masses are in the mood for an ever-expanding mystery. This time answers are in need, and somebody needs to tell that uncle who is into conspiracy theories to get real. That UFOs are swamp gas. That flying unidentified stuff tested at Area 51 years ago now flies over parades and football games to heighten the fun and celebration and excitement of modern aviation. That the white unmarked van parked outside the door was always, thankfully, just the caterer. Right?

Dynatrac ProRock 60 Tacoma ReviewPosted in Product Reviews on September 13, 2016
When it comes to a great all-around midsize truck, the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma is one of the best. With tremendous aftermarket support, proven long-term reliability, and multiple cab configurations, the second-generation Tacoma has become a go-to truck for everyone from desert runners to weekend wheelers. Our 2008 Double Cab Tacoma has had its fair share of upgrades over the years, and as we find weak points, we seek to replace them with better parts.
While we are reluctant to call our Tacoma's stock 8-inch rear axle a weak point, it's fair to say that it could be improved. The low-pinion design is excellent for strength in a stock configuration, but when you add in taller tires and harsh wheeling environments, the shortcomings become more apparent. The fact that we continue to add weight in the form of bumpers and additional armor isn't helping the 1/4-ton axle either.
Until recently there were not many rear axle options for the Tacoma. This was especially true if you wanted to keep the stock wheel bolt pattern and ABS. Thankfully, Dynatrac has produced a bolt-in axle actually designed for the builder on a budget. The Dynatrac Tacoma Axle Builder Kit uses one of Dynatrac's ultrahigh-clearance high-pinion ProRock 60 differentials and fits it with the correct brackets to make it a bolt-in upgrade for the second-gen Tacoma.
The idea is for you to be able to reuse your stock drum brakes, ABS sensors, and current wheels. For the differential gears and locker, you have the choice of purchasing the axlehousing empty or paying a little more for Dynatrac to set it up for you. We picked up one of the bolt-in 60s for our Tacoma and spent a couple hours with our friends at Low Range 4x4 in Wilmington, North Carolina, swapping the ProRock 60 in place. While the installation went smoothly, the big news is that Dynatrac is actually going to give one of these axles away!
To find out how you can get your own Tacoma ProRock for free, visit https://www.dynatrac.com/4wheel/.
Install NotesOur ProRock 60 was literally a bolt-in affair—no cutting, welding, or surprises along the way. While Dynatrac builds the differential to accept the stock Tacoma rear driveshaft, we found we did need to have ours shorted about 1 1/2 inches.
On the TrailAt 127 inches, our Tacoma has a rather long two-piece rear driveshaft. Installing a ProRock 60 was confidence inspiring not only on the strength front but because the high-pinion differential tucks our driveline farther out of harm's way. While the ProRock 60 does offer best-in-class clearance over other 60s on the market, we still scrape it on rocky trails. This is mostly due to our modest 34-inch-tall Nitto Trail Grapplers. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the setup and like the fact that the rear axle can grow as we continue to evolve our Tacoma.

SINGAPORE – A new virtual mobile telco is setting up store in Singapore with an uncommon proposition to consumers – it fees extra for mobile services than its competitor but lets subscribers decrease their bill cost in the event that they refer others. When distinguished people like Rudy Giuliano and New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch go on cable information and on the radio to berate others who overtly acknowledged black and brown folks's lived experiences with police abuse, they're being either willfully ignorant or intentionally uncaring — and neither is worthy of the platform they are repeatedly given. For example this, let us think about a number of the results on our society of the use of the cell phone. In this aggressive market, you need QA/QC companies and mobile testing solutions that give you the potential to ramp-up shortly, with versatile engagement models and process which were proven.
Services like Twitter are a challenge to a information tradition based mostly on particular person expert techniques and group assume over crew work and data-sharing (Singer, 2004). I included only app shops that did business primarily in English and had absolutely useful net app interfaces or consumer based mostly user experiences. The business model of gathering, producing and distributing news is altering rapidly. I desire a cell residence if taken care of and setup right can final 30 years, and that may be remolded after the 20 year mark.
However, they have been sceptical as as to if the readers must be left to make their own judgment in regards to the relevance of links, slightly than … having the news services present guidance to users" (Quinn and Trench, 2002, p. 35). The introduction of mobile technology, which allowed re-use of frequencies many instances in small adjoining areas lined by comparatively low powered transmitters, made widespread adoption of cellular telephones economically possible. Note: The download hyperlink for: BillGuard Launches iPhone App To Help Credit score Card Customers Catch And Dispute Gray Expenses" you could find at the finish of submit.
Second is the pattern of using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript as the first tech components in web design. At Apphonchoz , we make awesome apps which are not solely person pleasant but in addition resolve the given business making an app for what you are promoting would not guarantee escalated revenues. You can now send textual content messages (SMS) to any mobile phone with your Echo system even if the recipient does not own one. HMD's first smartphone with a notch will probably be unveiled throughout an event in China on Could 16. Nokia X has surfaced but again and this time in considerably more element via dwell photographs.
I lived in a single mobile house that was a pure junk, not from a clean concern, however structurally it just feel apart. As Home windows depends on hardware, it'd face opposition from up to date ways of working as a result of individuals are extremely mobile in utilizing completely different units in order get diverse information. Moreover, the company has partnered with app developers via the Nike+ Accelerator project to create lateral choices drawing upon this information – similar to rewards within the type of coupons and reductions for achieving personal bests.

Happy New Year to you and happy four-month Shanghai-versary to me!
Time flies when you are walking hard for a living! Right before Thanksgiving, I posted a gratitude blog outlining five Shanghai placemaking features for which I was thankful. I promised you a second post the following week detailing five NYC built environment features that I'd come to herald even more after my time in Shanghai. Embarrassingly, I'm six weeks late! In my defense, I have since been to Beijing (twice), Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Bangkok; have given three talks; attended too many meetings to count; cooked a Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) feast, complete with Cuban beans, pork and mojo; and, oh, hosted my in-laws in Shanghai (they bought up the whole city, including an extra suitcase in which to lug it all back with them!). It's exhausting just writing that sentence – no less living through it – but the good news is it provided much fodder for future blog posts. Do stay tuned. But without further ado, today's blog post:
Top five NYC placemaking features (that I hope I can import to Shanghai – and China)
1. Walking on "terra firma"
Seems pathetic that my time in Shanghai has me longing for the simple pleasure of being able to walk firmly on the ground. Across many Shanghai districts and in most large Chinese cities, it is a luxury to feel the earth beneath you when traversing large intersections. Some argue that pedestrian overpasses help promote safety. I counter loudly – at best, they are bestial eyesores; at worst, they are bastions of the auto-dependent landscapes that have become more ubiquitous than smart phones in China. These pedestrian bridges are inconvenient, often unkept, and help perpetuate the ethos that cars are better and have more rights than pedestrians.
2. Eight is [more than] enough
It was difficult to find a photo that properly relayed the ridiculous largeness of the intersections in China. They are so wide that it is impossible to fully capture them in one single frame. While the US has its share of highways passing for streets, transportation engineers in China have had their way – and then some – designing streets so wide that only Olympic sprinters can cross them in the time allotted! Pedestrians are instead forced to wait mid intersection, on a ped island that amounts to little more than a life vest in shark-infested waters – if you're lucky enough to even have one. The widest road I ever came across in Manhattan had six lanes, two of which were parking lanes (and it was one of the most hated streets in the borough). Perhaps we have good ol' Robert Moses – the "Master Builder of New York" – to blame for that one. Unfortunately, in China, there are too many Robert Moseses – each with multiple mega roads under his belt – to count.
3. These "streets" are made for walking
Here, the challenge was choosing only one picture! By far, my growing image bank documenting the fruits of my labor is dominated by photos of streets with pedestrian barriers. Barriers come in as many shapes and sizes as dumplings in China. You can find them on most streets. Poles, scaffolding, construction, motorcycles, cars, street vendors (yes, as much as I love them, they are often guilty of blocking the sidewalk), consulate barricades, more poles, and even the occasional dynamite explosions (this happened right in front of me while leading my very first Walk & Talk meetup group!) all contribute to the consummate obstacle course that is walking in China. While scenes like this particular one could be chalked up to "cultural differences," I won't give China a pass on the other countless physical barriers (and psychological – see # 1 on this list) that pedestrians must navigate in order to safely and conveniently use the most sustainable (and oldest) form of transportation available to us. While weekly trash disposal and oft-narrow sidewalks do pose pedestrian barrier issues in NYC, in comparison to the myriad, egregious sidewalk barriers in China, they are small, eye-roll-inducing nuisances – perils of city living (that of course, still need to be addressed!).
4. Apples with apples
Yes, that's a car attempting to drive onto the sidewalk, via the curbcut, right in front of my Walk & Talk meetup group! Unfortunately, I was unable to get the guy guiding the driver through this whole process in the same shot! I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. To safely walk as a pedestrian in China, you need eyes in the back of your head. Seeing as humans have yet to evolve that particular body part, for now that means you have to look right, left, right again, peer over your shoulder, lean back, lean forward, all before crossing the street in China – heck, you need to do this while you're walking on the sidewalk! Motorized vehicles – from cars to e-bikes, trucks to scooters, buses to make-shift I don't know what – all take precedence over pedestrians. You have to look out for them at every turn – and step. Being in a constant state of high-alert is taxing and can take the joy out of walking. I'm not saying that NYC drivers are the most obedient stock, but at least you know you're not going to all of a sudden encounter a car whizzing by you on the sidewalk in NYC!
5. The prince of Fresh-air
Ok, fine, Will Smith lives in LA, not NYC, but you get the picture. This is my DIY filter after two days of near-record breaking AQI (air quality index) in Shanghai. That is not a shadow. That is filth. That filth was in the air. Inside my apartment. The scariest part is that a few weeks after this picture was taken, we indeed broke the record for the worst AQI in Shanghai since they began recording it. The readings were off the charts. Anything above 300 is considered hazardous; 500 was the maximum. During the Shanghai "airpocaplyse," the AQI topped 600. I cannot quite describe how trapped I felt during this time. Confined to my apartment, I actually longed to engage in the taxing battle that is pedestrian life here. Give me your ugliest most imposing pedestrian overpass, your most morbidly obese intersection, your most steadfast barrier. I'll gladly duck aggressive cars, silent ebikes, and motorbikes with their lights off in the game of frogger this country calls walking. Just let me out. Let me breathe fresh air. The kicker is, in China, the lack of the first four urban design principles outlined here is linked to the lack of the fifth. I will never again take for granted my beautiful, peaceful, clean air-filled walk from my NYC apartment to my beloved Tompkins Square park.
While this post may seem more like I'm bemoaning China's bad urban design and less like a list of what I love (or miss most) about NYC, it's actually part of my wish list for China. It's part of the change I want to see in China. It's part of the change I'm here to help impart. I have lots in store to help me achieve that aim. In the meantime, please keep walking along with me!

Husum is a quiet and idyllic place in the North of Germany. Between the 14th and 18th of September it became a vivid center where major wind players and energy providers came together to exhibit their solutions and debate existing wind issues at the HUSUM Wind 2015 conference.
The new concept for HUSUM Wind 2015 focused on the important German wind market, and international players such as GE, Gamesa, Alstom and Acciona were in attendance.
Maxwell participated in HUSUM Wind for the first time, partnering with Freqcon, a German developer and manufacturer of renewable energy systems.
Maxwell was represented by Ralph Heick, regional sales manager, Jan Ernst, senior application engineer, and myself. We were joined by Klaus Harder, Freqcon's business development manager. Klaus was a great asset to our team as he provided insights from the integrator perspective and shared with visitors about Freqcon's experience with Maxwell ultracapacitors.
We exhibited Maxwell's products for the wind market and Freqcon's solutions, including the PSB or pitch power backup module and a grid stabilization cabinet with Maxwell ultracapacitors.
While batteries are still largely used in wind turbines for emergency power supply, they have poor temperature performance, limited lifetime in extreme weather conditions and require intense maintenance. Our ultracapacitors are used in more than 30,000 wind turbines to ensure emergency backup power and reliability of the pitch system.
Freqcon's PSB-module gained the attention of several wind turbine manufacturers. A technical poster prepared by Maxwell and Freqcon served as an educational piece on retrofitting wind turbines with ultracapacitors.
The Maxwell/Freqcon ultracapacitor cabinet for grid stabilization was also a hot display, which opened up interesting discussions about the stability of the grid and the quality of the energy supply.
We took time to walk the show and discover the latest technological updates, including Hanning & Kahl' solution for rotor brakes, which integrates Maxwell ultracapacitors. For the whole team the event was a great opportunity to share with our visitors Maxwell's technology and increase awareness of our ultracapacitor solutions.

In March, John Palomino was laid off from his job as a nurse at San Diego Hospice, after the troubled organization was forced to file for bankruptcy. Like most folks who've lost a job, Palomino applied for unemployment and set out to look for new work.
Shortly after, Palomino got a letter saying his application was denied. The letter directed him to call the state Employment Development Department's (EDD) unemployment-benefits hotline because he'd filled out something incorrectly. The letter, he says, was only about three lines long.
"It seemed like something just spit out by a computer," Palomino says.
So he called. And called. And called. No matter when he called, he couldn't reach a single person through the hotline. Via a Facebook group started by former hospice employees, he learned that he wasn't the only one having problems with EDD.
A November 2012 report by the state auditor—a follow-up to a previous audit in March 2011—noted that, among other issues, EDD's phone system wasn't capable of handling the volume of calls the department received. Between July 2011 and June 2012, the report says, 17 million calls—24 percent of all calls—didn't go through. And, of the calls that did go through, when individuals requested to speak with an EDD worker, roughly 25 million of 29.7 million calls weren't connected, nearly twice as many as the prior year.
EDD spokesperson Patti Roberts says the state tries to call applicants to resolve incomplete applications, and follow-up letters like the one Palomino received give as much information as possible.
On May 20, EDD reduced its call hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to 8 a.m. to noon, due in part to a $30-million budget cut from federal sequestration.
To help address the reduced hours, EDD is asking people to email questions or find information on its website and through social media.
When the hospice's financial troubles came to light, Palomino and his wife decided to refinance their home, just in case. The move allowed them to defer mortgage payments for two months. And, Palomino landed a job in mid-April with another hospice, VITAS.
But, he's continued calling the state to try to get the money he says is owed to him for that month he was out of work.
"You're quick to take my money," Palomino says, referring to paycheck deductions for unemployment insurance, "but why are you giving me a hard time to give it back?"

What's new with the nano?/
Apple has updated the iPod nano for the fourth time. The new "4th generation" iPod nano has more similarities than differences from the 3rd generation iPod it is replacing. The most noticeable difference is that the screen is taller and skinnier. However, the screen is the same one from the 3rd generation nano, only turned 90 degrees.
Apple doubled the storage capacity at the same price points as the previous nano. That means for $150 you can now get an 8GB nano. For most everyone, that's plenty of memory. Eight gigabytes will hold hours of video and days of audio. Like all iPods with click wheels, you can enable disk use for transporting, storing, and backing up computer files to that 8GB of memory.
There are two new accessibility features added to the new nano. First, in the settings menu, users can increase the font size from Standard to Large. The Large settings appears to be about 150% larger. However, only the menu font is changed. The text displayed while playing audio and Notes fonts are not affected by this setting. That's a shame because the font used for Notes is quite small. Another accessibility feature allows listeners to hear the names of menus, settings, titles, podcast episodes, and almost everything that appears in the menus. Unfortunately, the Spoken Menus option will not speak anything in the Notes section. That would have been way cool. (By the way, if you ever do want spoken text on your iPod, check out SpokenText.)
The nano knows which way it is being held and will sometimes change what's on the screen to match how you're holding the it. That's because Apple added an accelerometer to iPod nano. But it only works in certain functions like playing videos, browsing audio, and viewing photos. Some games require that you hold the nano sideways in order to play. And speaking of games, I'm really sad that the iQuiz game no longer comes preinstalled on the 4th generation nano. While you can purchase iQuiz for 99 cents, it will not run on the 4th generation nano. I really hope iQuiz is updated to work on the new nano because it is a great quizzing game and makes the iPod a more useful study tool.
The new nano supports recording with an external microphone. It can use microphones that connect to the headphone jack (like the microphones that come with iPhones). It can also record using external microphones that connect to the dock connector like the Belkin TuneTalk. The Voice Recorder function is updated and Apple added the ability to add chapters while recording. This is super handy when recordings are long. Another change is that the iPod no longer records in the WAV format. Now it uses Apple Lossless format. While it is similar to WAV, it is not nearly as compatible. You might have to use iTunes to convert recordings to more compatible formats like WAV or MP3 if you're importing into other programs like Audacity. Apple software like GarageBand can certainly use the Apple Lossless format with no problems.
Other than the lack of iQuiz, I really like the new nano. In fact, I would recommend the 8GB nano over the 120GB iPod classic. The only major differences are the storage capacity and screen size. The classic has a slightly larger screen, though that screen has the same resolution as the nano's. Unless you need to carry around an enormous number of videos or need lots of space for disk use, the nano is going to meet your needs for $100 less than the classic.

Posts Taggedwren
Twitter. 5 years ago that was a word that described the sound a songbird makes. And while that's still the first definition in almost every dictionary you check, in the public mind it means something else entirely. It's a social network, one composed of short little messages intended for public consumption. Like any good ecosystem, Twitter has changed the definitions of more words than just its name. Now we have "tweet," "retweet," "follow," and of course "hashtags". More than vocabulary, the sphere of influence Twitter has created has its clients buying into the ornithological metaphor as well. You'd be hard pressed to find a Twitter client that doesn't have a bird or something bird-related in its icon.
It's true of the Twitter client we're going to talk about today. It's called Wren, and has an adorable yellow bird as its icon. However, the similarities with its Twitter client brethren ends there. Wren is something different. By some people's definition, it shouldn't even be called a Twitter client. It has no timeline, no "river of information" to wade through. And yet I contest it is a Twitter client, one that every Twitter user should take a long, hard look at and see if it's the missing piece in their Twitter workflow. Let me show you what I mean.

Crispy Prosciutto Caprese Salad.
Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella & Crispy Prosciutto Salad.
This salad has all the ingredients of a classic caprese salad, but the crispy prosciutto adds a bit of a twist! With the addition of prosciutto, you don't need to add any oil or salt to the salad- it's really flavorful and adds all the oil/salt you need. The flavors are delicious and it's fast and easy to make.
Serves ~3.
- 5 oz prosciutto
- 4 oz fresh buffalo mozzarella
- 1 cup tomatoes, quartered (I used smaller sized tomatoes)
- 1 large handful fresh basil, chopped
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- black pepper
Place the prosciutto on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until it's nice and crispy, but not burned. After you remove it from the oven, allow it to cool on a piece of paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Add the tomatoes, basil and mozzarella into a mixing bowl with a dash of black pepper. Once the prosciutto is at room temperature, use your hands to break it into small pieces. Add the pieces of prosciutto to the mixing bowl and add in the balsamic vinegar. Toss well to combine.

Every new day brings us a new set of promo materials for Lost's sixth and final season. This week already we've had a bunch of new international promo trailers, another mysterious "Lost Supper" image (see above) and even a spoof video provided by The Onion.
To round out the week we have some new wallpapers highlighting our favorite long-standing (long-surviving) Lost characters, a new international promo trailer (this time hailing from Italy) and finally another set of character images, featuring one of the great TV villains of recent years, Benjamin Linus.
First up we're going to take a look at the character images of Ben Linus, who is played o so wonderfully by actor Michael Emerson. Emerson took what started as a guest role and transformed it into an Emmy-winning villain for the ages, whose Machiavellian scheming has kept things plenty interesting on The Island for the last few seasons.
Like other character images, these pics of Ben don't reveal too much about what we'll see in the final season, but as always, Emerson finds a way to make them stand out. Have a look:
(Click for larger size)
Is that the hatch Ben is standing over? Hmmmm... we haven't seen too much action from the hatch in awhile... Wonder what mysteries we'll learn about it in this final season. Could it truly be the key to saving the world? And who re-lit the light? Didn't the hatch implode at the end of season 2?
Anyway, moving on, we have some wallpapers featuring our favorite survivors of Oceanic flight 815, plus one of Ben Linus. Here's one of the wallpapers for your viewing pleasure:
Of all the things I'm looking forward to in the final season of Lost, Claire's story is one of the major ones. She's been gone for a long time, only showing up in strange places like Jacob's cabin alongside Jack's dead father. Is Claire in peril? Or has she found some kind of salvation on The Island? Time will tell.
For more Lost character wallpapers, go HERE.
Finally, here's a new Italian promo for Lost season 6. Unlike their American counterparts, the international promos for season 6 have been a lot more creative. See what you think of this one:
That's it for today (and this week) - however, with the premiere date less than two weeks away now, expect more season 6 promos to come hailing down upon us.
Lost the sixth and final season premieres on February 2, @ 9pm on ABC.

Share Your Experiences
Learning from experience is an effective way to learn, whether it's your experience or the experiences of others.
Get your kids involved in the learning process by asking them to interview adults who smoke and some who don't. Have them find out what they think about the habit, why the individuals chose to, or not to, smoke and what they would do differently if they had the chance.
If you've had a friend or family member die from a tobacco-related illness, talk to your kids about it. Tell them about your loved one, the anger you felt when they became sick and the feelings you had when they died.
Parents who smoke are more likely to have children who smoke [source: Riordan]. So, if you smoke, it's time to quit. As you go through the cessation process, talk to your kids about why you want to quit and your struggles doing so. Express your regrets about starting in the first place and stress how important it is to you that they remain smoke free.

Every church needs to have a purpose statement that answers the question, "why do we exist?" At New Life Outreach International, we filter every idea, program, and budget request through our purpose statement. If what we plan doesn't help us meet our purpose, then we don't do it.
Our statement of purpose is based on two teachings of Jesus:
Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...and with all your mind" 'this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:36-40)
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe..." Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and conformed his word by the signs that accompanied it. (Mark 16:15-20)
New Life Outreach exists:
- To worship God with sincere expression.
- To share the Good News of Jesus with others.
- To connect with other believers in meaningful relationships.
- To prepare disciples to fulfill their purpose.
- To encourage leaders in their God-given destiny.
You can learn more about our purpose as a church at Growth Track, Step 2 and more about how your gifts and calling fit into that purpose in Step 3.

On May 25th – just around 2 months after the militant group in Nigeria – Boko Haram – kidnapped/abducted over 200 school girls from Chibok, Nigeria, my friend Tehilah Eisenstadt-Feil invited me to walk.
You see, I felt paralyzed – that I could do nothing, that our country's efforts were amounting to nothing, that the plight of these girls had fallen off the radar as fast as #BringBackOurGirls had fallen off twitter.
And so I walked…headed down from Brooklyn to the East River Park where a number of women of various faiths came together to walk. A labyrinth. In silence.
I have participated in meditation practice before. I have even done walking meditations. But I had never walked a labyrinth before. It's basically a maze painted on the ground and the simple instructions are….walk.
Each one of us was handed the name of a girl who was abducted – to carry with us as we walked silently. At a certain point, we walked with a partner, hand in hand, in solidarity. Silently.
But my mind was far from silent. I felt despair. I could do nothing – these girls are still out there, away from their families, scared, being abused, frightened, possibly starved, tortured – who knows? And what could I do? My mind was panicked, my heart was heavy. And here I am walking. Silently.
I tried to just walk – let go of thoughts – be present – and all that emerged was one Hebrew prayer: ושמור צאתינו ובואינו לחיים ולשלום
U'shmor tzeiteinu uvo-einu l'chayim ul'shalom
Guard our going out and our safe return – give us life and give us peace
That's what began to run through my head – with each step a word. With each word, a determination – to send out this prayer. With each completion cycle of the prayer, a growing commitment in my soul to not forget these girls. That is something I can do. Keep talking.
As I completed the labyrinth, I sat down, with this mantra now going from a spoken chant in my head to an actual melodic tune circling and cycling. I grabbed my iPhone and sang into the voice memo.
The other women completed their walking meditation and we gathered in the center of the labyrinth – Tehilah asked me to share the english musical chant that had just emerged from my heart and mind. All of us – from different races, faiths, ethnic backgrounds – all women – grabbed hands and chanted together – Guard our going out and our safe return – give us life and give us peace.
Will you remember these girls? Will you chant? Will you keep them and their families present in your hearts each day? If that's all we can do – it's something.

Buyer's Market
Elizabeta tells you that there's a drug deal going down with some guy named Charlie and you'll be working with Playboy X, and some Slavic guy...
Brian's Got The Stuff
After the cutscene, which may remind you of a mission in Niko's story... You'll need to head to see Brian to get the heroin for the deal. He's waiting in Dukes, so grab your bike and get over the bridge to meet him. Brian whinges about him not being the one trusted with selling the stuff, but Johnny tells him everyone else would rob him like the little pussy that he is.
The Meet
After the cutscene, you'll need to make your way to the building where the meeting is taking place. It's only a few blocks away, so make your way there. Once you arrive, you'll be told to head up to the third floor, so go inside and climb the stairs.
You'll have to wait for Niko and Playboy X to arrive.
Freeze Mother Fucker!
As you may have been expecting, the deal goes bad when Johnny starts to suspect Charlie is acting weird. After the cutscene is over you'll need to fight your way down and out of the building, past the numerous cops all over the place. There's some body armour in one of the bedrooms which might prove useful.
Move downstairs and clear out the cops inside and outside of the building as you go. I always suggest using the automatic pistol and aiming for the head. Once you're outside, you'll need to grab a vehicle and escape the probable 3 star wanted level.
Mission Passed!
Mission Tips
- You may remember this mission from Niko's story, however you're now playing it from Johnny's perspective.
- Don't forget to grab the body armour from one of the bedrooms in the apartment.
- There's a shotgun at the bottom of the stairs if you really need it.
- There's a back door that you can use to escape the building instead of the front door. You can find the door right next to said shotgun. This is a much easier method of escaping the cops.
- After the mission, you'll get a call from Billy unlocking a mission for Mr Stubbs.

In case its unknown, there is a back door you can go out, by the shotgun you can pick up on the ground floor. There are still some swat outside here, but in far fewer numbers.
Comment by Stoic Person Eater posted on 18th Feb 2009:
The back door was hella easy compared to running out the front. The first time I tried to escape out the front (where Johnny parked his bike) and was brought down in no time. The back was smooth sailing compared to that.

Why Customization Is Important
Why Customization is Important
There were over 20 million mattresses shipped last year,
and almost all of them were not customizable.
So why do I need a customizable mattress?
Compiled by: Phil Torbet, Sleep Expert, and Industrial Designer
How Product Customization is Revolutionizing E-Commerce
As noted by author Meridith Guetig from The Gorilla Group:
"From fashion to food & beverage to technology, customized products are becoming more and more commonplace in brick & mortar and digital selling environments. Forrester declared that mass customization is (finally) the future of products back in 2011, and Bain outlined rules for success in product customization in their 2013 brief. Bain's survey of more than 1,000 online shoppers that year found that while less than 10% had leveraged customization, 25% to 30% expressed interested in doing so.
While mass product customization can often add to production costs, it is a differentiating tool that can lead to higher profits due to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. Further, rather than using historical data and industry trends to guide production numbers, businesses can reduce waste by limiting production to the items that customers are seeking.
In many ways, customized products are a new form of old-school luxury and personalization. Just as consumers went to tailors for bespoke fashions in the past, today's shoppers are looking for custom products that meet their exact specifications and needs. Product customization provides consumers with a sense of exclusivity and importance while leveraging the technology solutions of today to scale and simplify production to reach the widest market possible.
When implemented correctly, product customization addresses several important psychology concepts, including 'overchoice,' 'analysis paralysis,' and 'cognitive dissonance.' These concepts are linked to the decision-making challenges that occur when a person is presented with too many options. If you've ever spent 10 minutes staring at a wall of peanut butter at the grocery store, or have been overwhelmed by the number of toothpaste variations at a drugstore, you've experienced 'analysis paralysis.'
Put simply:
More choices ? More outcomes ? More risk and opportunities for regret and dissatisfaction
Customization eliminates the stresses and pitfalls associated with too many choices by leaving the consumer with one solution that is tailored specifically and purposefully to their needs and desires."
The Importance of Personalization/ Customization in Today's Supply Chain
I have seen the future of consumer products – and that future is customized.
An ever-increasing number of companies are offering consumers the possibility to customize their products, exactly as the customer wants. This trend has impacted every type of consumer good product you can think of – from clothing to vehicles, to home accessories and even mobile phones. Enabling customers to personalize their goods at the moment of purchase builds feelings of ownership and product loyalty – and gives you a competitive advantage over those selling similar products.
The question is not why a company would want to provide customization and personalization – the benefits of that are already well documented. The real question is how. How can companies affordably build into their supply chains the ability to customize singular products? Is there ever a way to profitably offer this?
Why the Attraction of Customization?
As noted by Liraz Margalit:
"Customization has become increasingly significant to brand-name companies because it's now part of a broader trend that shifts from viewing customers as recipients of value to co-creators of value. Rather than being passive, the customer is now becoming a part of the "product development" process.
The decision to buy a customized product is mediated by a number of unconscious factors that shape the customers' final decision. Moreover, the interaction in creating the product can lead the customer to buy it — even if they weren't initially planning to.
"I Built It. Therefore I Own It"
The ability to influence the shape of an object automatically generates emotional attachment. The final design of a product reflects the customer's individual taste; the self-selection of features, color, shape, etc. all work to provide a glimpse of the customer's inner world.
The opportunity to take part in a process and influence the end result promotes emotional attachment that leads to psychological ownership, the feeling that something is "mine" even without legal ownership.
In addition, the ability to customize a product and to be involved in the design process promotes feelings of control that have been also been found to increase feelings of psychological ownership. For example, people, especially those on a diet, prefer to choose the ingredients of their salad as it endows them with a sense of calorie control.
When people imbue products with their own labor, their efforts increase the value of the product. Dan Ariely and colleagues tested this assumption in an experiment involving very simple origami and found that people tend to place higher value on the origami they created. Moreover, they thought everybody else would love it more. Ariely refers to this as the IKEA effect, named after Swedish furniture manufacturer IKEA whose furniture is sold in boxes — with sometimes a great deal of assembly required. The efforts and "labor" that are invested in the customization process promote feelings of psychological ownership as well.
"I Own It, Therefore It Is Superb"
Not only do our possessions add value to our lives when we have a part in building them, but we also add value to our possessions. It was found that consumers value an object more once they have taken ownership of it. This phenomenon is known as the Endowment Effect.
Over the past decade, researchers have found support for the endowment effect in many experiments. In one of the best-known, researchers at Cornell University began by giving university students either a coffee mug or a chocolate bar, each with identical market values. First, the experimenters confirmed that roughly half the students preferred each good. After the goodies were handed out, they let the students trade: those who had wanted mugs but got chocolate (or vice versa) could swap.
With barely 10 percent of students opting to trade, the endowment effect seemed established (you would expect 50 percent to have swapped, given the random allocation of gifts). Even after a short time with items of little value, ownership had overwhelmed the students' prior tastes."
Why Customized is Better than 'Off-The-Shelf'
Consumer goods are increasingly moving in the direction of individual customization. Consumers are happily now being given a choice between 'one-size-fits-all' and being able to finish the design of a product so that it more closely matches their personal preferences, whether it's for fit (apparel), aesthetics (tote bags), or comfort (mattresses).
Being able to customize a mattress to better fit your unique body shape and sleep needs represent a huge leap forward in simplifying the nightmare of choosing the right mattress.
Nothing impacts a person's sense of well-being more than being cradled in just the 'right' places when one is getting his/her all-important good night's sleep. Even the person they are closest to—their sleeping partner—likely has an entirely different set of needs to provide a supporting but low-pressure surface on which to sleep.
Unlike other relationship issues, this is not a place where compromise is necessary any longer—thanks to Morphiis!
Why Customized Mattresses are Better Than 'Off the Shelf' Mattresses
Almost 90% of couples disagree on the firmness of their mattress. This has given rise to multiple new mattress brands which allow the firmness of their mattress to be customized.
Most mattresses, regardless of price, are 'off-the-rack' or 'one-firmness-fits-both.' However, like anything else, there is always 'good, better and best.' So, while good and better mattresses are OK for some people, the title 'best' belongs to customized mattresses. The specific type of mattress you choose can make or break your sleep and well-being.
There are numerous customized mattresses in the marketplace. However, there are very few which can be customized at home, and even fewer that can be body-zone-customized at home. Body zones are regions of the body such as the shoulder, thorax, hip, etc.
The Morphiis mattress is the most affordable (and most uncomplicated) mattress with this level of at-home body-zone customization. It features six body zones per side with three different firmness inserts (soft, medium and firm) for each body zone in the Full, Queen, King and California King sizes.
There are two basic categories of customized mattresses:
1. As-ordered customization: Ordering what you think both sleepers will agree upon, having it manufactured that way, and hope that it works for both sleepers, with no option to customize it at home; and
2. At-home customization: Ordering a mattress which is capable of being firmness-customized at home to suit their individual sleeping preferences. There are major differences in how this is achieved within each category.
As-ordered customization - 2 basic types:
1. After submitting a preference questionnaire to the manufacturer, the mattress is constructed using different layers of foam glued together to be one pre-selected firmness for the entire mattress. No at-home preference changes can be made, e.g., Helix
2. After submitting a preference questionnaire to the manufacturer, the mattress is constructed using different layers of foam glued together to make a pre-selected firmness for each side of the mattress. No at-home preference changes can be made, e.g., Helix
At-home customization - 4 basic types:
Mattresses having two different (top/bottom) firmness options which can be flipped at home by the user.
Mattresses which are constructed of multiple loose (un-glued) layers of foams of differing firmness levels under a zippered cover such that the layers of foam can be vertically rearranged (soft over firm, etc.) to achieve a desired single firmness for the entire mattress, e.g., Luxi, Kutson
Mattresses with body-zone firmness customization. They are constructed with a base layer, a top comfort layer in a zippered cover, and multiple interchangeable foam inserts of varying firmness levels which correlate to the different body zones (shoulder, thorax, hip, etc.). This allows the user to customize the firmness of each body-zone on each side of the mattress independently, e.g., Reverie
Air bladder mattresses such as those offered by Sleep Number and Rest claim to provide customized firmness options for each sleeper; however, there is no such thing as 'soft air' or 'firm air.' In fact, these mattresses simply supply varying degrees of support such as what you might get on a pool or camping air-mattress when you add or decrease air, which can cause body sagging: not good.
The Morphiis is at-home customization with body-zone customization
The greatest degree of comfort customization, by far, is this type of mattress, which provides individual body-zone support, adjustable spinal alignment, at-home firmness adjustments and pressure relief for both partners on each side of their mattress for individual body-zone comfort preferences.
An additional benefit is an ability for the users to rearrange the individual body-zone inserts if their comfort preference changes over time if they need injured area pressure relief or for pregnancy comfort.
A further benefit is that if the inserts soften or compress over time, those inserts can all, or individually, be replaced too, in effect, 'make the mattress like new.'
Customization can reduce injury pain during sleep
Sleep disruption can be caused by many types of injuries and magnified by certain kinds of mattresses.
When we're sick or injured, we all know that getting plenty of rest is essential. This is because during sleep your muscles and soft tissues heal and scar tissue develops. Scar tissue is the dense fiber that the body creates to repair injuries, whether it's a sudden injury or a chronic injury that develops over time.
What many don't realize is that the way you sleep can aggravate an injury and prevent it from healing properly. This is because when scar tissue develops it can bind up and tie down tissue that needs to move freely. This buildup is known as adhesions, trigger points or knots. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons can cause tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can reduce the range of motion and strength and create pain. If a nerve is trapped, you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness
When back pain affects you or a family member, you might despair of ever getting a good night's sleep. Pain can disturb the sleep your family needs, night after night. However, experts say that with proper treatment, the chances are excellent that you or your loved one can get relief from back pain and enjoy normal sleep. Below, find out about treatments and lifestyle tips for better sleep.
The inability to get a good night's sleep hurts -- literally. Chronic back pain prevents you from sleeping well. You can wake up hurting even more. What's worse, studies have shown that not getting enough sleep may make you more sensitive to pain. It's a vicious cycle. Back pain can make it harder to sleep -- and when you can't sleep, your back pain may be worse (www.webmd.com/back-pain/back-pain-and-sleep#1).
Sleep positions play a key role in neutralizing your joints. However, if you aren't following the expert-recommended sleeping positions, the potential long-term damage to your body and health is significantly increased. Regardless of your position of choice, you must ALWAYS make certain that maintaining alignment of your spine remains one of the most important variables in the mix.
Side sleeping, which is one of the more commonly used positions, is an acceptable alternative to back sleeping since it helps to elongate your spine. The best thing you can do when sleeping on your side is adding a thick and firm pillow underneath the rib cage/torso to fill the space between your hips and shoulders. This will help to alleviate compression from the downside shoulder. Doing this may also help to eliminate a contributing variable to the development of shoulder dysfunctions
The Morphiis Mattress has the unique ability to simply change the mattress firmness and support capabilities of each body zone to adjust the mattress to accommodate the needs of an injured area to relieve pressure on that area, and to help maintain spinal alignment at the same time. Morphiis is the only mattress which can do this at an affordable price.
Customization during pregnancy
The most common physical changes during pregnancy are very difficult to hide from the outside world. As the fetus grows, so does the abdomen of the mother. This growth is noted from the 4th month through the end of the pregnancy for most women. The growth of the fetus in the abdomen creates physical changes in the interior of the body as well.
As the baby grows larger, the fetus will spread up into the abdomen and down into the kidney area of the body. This growth causes the organs of the body to adjust to a smaller space. This adjustment can mean a reduced appetite, increased need to urinate, decreased lung capacity and lower back pain as the baby load on the back increases.
The physical changes during pregnancy do not stop with the physical body, however. The hormonal changes and the blood capacity of the body also increase. The mother's blood capacity will increase between 25% and 40% to adapt to the need for more blood by the vital organs. Baby is also fed by the blood of the mother (www.babymed.com/pregnancy/physical-and-emotional-changes-during-pregnancy).
Getting and staying comfortable in bed may be one of the biggest challenges during pregnancy. A backache and pain in your pelvis are just two common niggles that can disturb your slumber.
More than two-thirds of pregnant women suffer from back pain, and almost a fifth have pelvic pain. They can start as early as the first trimester, particularly if there has been a child before, but may get worse as your pregnancy progresses.
If a woman is not used to lying on their side, getting comfy in pregnancy can be particularly tricky. During the first trimester, a woman's breasts may be too sore for them to lie on their front.
After about 16 weeks of pregnancy, lying on your back for long periods can be uncomfortable and even make a woman feel faint. That's because the baby is pressing on a major blood vessel.
Placing a wedge-shaped pillow under a woman's stomach can help ease the strain on their back. Many women swear by full body pillows, specially designed to help find a comfy position (www.babycentre.co.uk/a547406/cant-get-comfortable-pregnancy-sleep).
The Morphiis mattress eliminates the potential need to purchase a separate mattress so that a mom-to-be can sleep comfortably throughout her pregnancy or simply suffer with a mattress that no longer feels right for the woman's 'new body.' For the first time, the Morphiis Mattress allows the mom-to-be to change the mattress inserts easily to create support for her growing belly. Other insert choices will create a softer area around her abdomen and will ensure spinal alignment to avoid backaches and comfortably accommodate her body. After the pregnancy, these same comfort-inserts can be re-configured to return to the original customized comfort design. The Morphiis Mattress is the only mattress that can do this at an affordable price.

Ecology, Behavior & Evolution: Research Topics
Behavioral Ecology
The study of Behavioral Ecology examines the ecological (proximate) and evolutionary (ultimate) causes of animal behavior and uses behavior to make predictions about ecological patterns. A major theme is social insects as model systems. EBE faculty explore how complex behavior and ecological patterns such as territoriality and aggression emerge in superorganisms from individual actions. In addition, faculty examine reproductive behavior in diverse animals ranging from bonobos to harbor seals. Currently, faculty are studying (1) how foraging and communication have evolved in social bees in response to evolutionary pressures of competition and predation, (2) the neuroethology of learning and memory in honey bees and bumble bees, (3) factors that affect bee health, (4) how the behavior of invasive ants and wasps contributes to their ecological success, (5) how food-for-protection mutualism contribute to the success of invasive ants, (6) reproductive plasticity in Southeast Asian anurans, and (7) the behavior of bonobos at the San Diego Zoo.
