Self Mastery
There is one source, whole, complete, infinite. This source is the flowers, the birds, the wind flowing through the trees. This source is everything and all, micro and macro, always clear, always itself.
I am. One micro piece of source, I am source, infinite in each direction. I am one with source, micro into the macro ever expanding and clarifying.
I am my purest self. My intentions are clearly set and filled with the love of source. My pursuits are abundantly fruitful.
I am so happy and grateful now that all of my movements are actions created in consciousness and love.
Joyfully, I release my knowledge of pure self into source. I say with love and gratitude as I do, and so it is.
Chair Massage
Massage Chairs are great tools. With appropriate adjustment, they allow clients to ease into an aligned position perfect for a short session. Chair massage is best utilized at three times, quick pain relief, wellness support between sessions, and relaxing breaks. On those days you wake with a sore neck, or an aching back, a fifteen or thirty minute chair massage can provide just the break you need to feel better and get back to your day. Relaxing into a semi-inclined position opens the neck and exposes the upper and lower attachments of many of the anterior and posterior neck muscles in a way well fitted to the bracing and stretching of those muscles. Chair massage is intended for convenience, so it's not a position that allows for draping. Clients remain completely clothed in order to ensure appropriate warmth and comfort to promote optimum relaxation.

Ooof! Sometimes life presents us with a set of occurrences whose combination can feel overwhelming like exhaustion, or painful, like a punch in the gut. In my last post, I briefly alluded to a family crisis I'm currently in the midst of. At the end of her 94th life and love filled year, my grandmother Veda, my namesake, passed away at home and in the company of loved ones. Life's challenging experiences tend to occur together, combining to offer us incredible growth opportunities when we can find and hold the right perspectives. And so, my romantic partner experienced a life event and required emotional support. Joyfully, I began driving back and forth between visiting with my family while sorting through my Grandma Veda's possessions and providing extra support at home. With time at a premium I found myself on day 3 of my fast with only a morning and evening juice, nowhere near enough nutrients for a full day of errands and packing.
When the same thing happened again the fourth day, I decided to put my fast on hold until I have the time at home to juice. To continue my commitment to purification and improved health I have continued to juice at home and to stop at local places like Green Mouth and Smooth Juices, who make fresh juices, 2 or 3 times a day. I have also continued to eat in the pre-fast fashion, lots of salads, fruit, vegetables, and leafy greens. I'm also really enjoying Ningxia, a wonderful Young Living juice that provides an incredible immune boost.
Most lately I've been reading about the Crazy Sexy Diet, developed by Kris Carr. She focuses on the dietary balance of alkalinity and acidity. A diet higher in alkalinity helps bodies get and stay healthy. This means eating lots of fresh leafy green, raw or lightly sauteed vegetables, and avoiding meat products and sugars, even the naturally occurring ones. I've been adding Donna Gates' thoughts about food combining from the Body Ecology Diet. Since though I am committing to a better diet, I know I'll still eat the occasional meat, cheese, and bread. Therefor, for me, food combinations are an important addition to guarantee my digestive health.
Once I hit another calm plateau, a place where I have extra time for breath and energy for reflection, I will again begin a strict juice fast. For now, I'm loving the vegetables I'm eating and enjoying the increased energy I'm experiencing. I've been walking quite a bit. More and more everyday. Even as the increased humidity causes my foot to ache around my metal plate and screws, as my improved diet continues and body clears increasingly, returning to balance, the pain in my foot is lessening.
Until I reach that plateau, my next break for regrouping, I'm completely grateful for the increased energy and decreased pain I am experiencing. Kale, carrot, pear, spinach, and beet makes my favorite breakfast drink, a sweet and energizing way to start the day. With a salad or cereal an hour or so after, I feel balanced and ready to start to move through the day.
Full Juice Ahead
The wellness visit with my Doctor was smooth and easy. Though she didn't see the need for my doing such an extended fast, she was in general unconcerned with my doing a juice fast since I'm young and healthy. After talking to her, I visited the website for Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead (FS&ND) to look further into the 60 day reboot. Joe Cross has developed an incredible support system to help other people travel the journey he documented, an amazing resource for anyone starting a fast complete with wonderful recipes for anyone who likes to juice. After reading more information on juice fasts, it's been a long time since I've done one, I started mine.
I'm now on day three. Day one was brutally intense. Last week was full of quick food, stress eating, and preservatives. A family crisis had me constantly on the go with little time or energy for food prep. My body was so full of toxins that switching to full time juicing brought on a vicious detox headache. I rested most of the day. I had no energy for anything. Finally I decided to follow advice I had seen on Joe Cross's site, and I allowed myself a small, healthy meal. Committing to a juice fast is difficult enough. Since I have no pressing health emergency, I decided not to make the transition from eating to fasting more painful than necessary.
The past two days, each with small meals added into my fast, have been much easier. I'm following the suggested five day intro, and, based on what my body has already shown me, trusting that tomorrow and the next day will continue to ease my transition into a full blown fast. I've also decided to adjust my fast in other ways. FS&ND suggests planning on a 15 day fast and allowing how you feel on day 15 to determine whether continuing further is the right choice for you.
Somehow, I'd not only forgotten the benefit of a gradual lead into fasting, I'd also forgotten the energy required to continue pursuing a new enterprise. Since I'm in the process of building a business, I'll be taking my commitment and energy levels into consideration as well. I see little point in improving my health, since it's already good, at the expense of the rest of my life.
But already I'm happy with the movement I'm creating through this new undertaking. I've shed the 10lbs I added to my body by stress eating last week, my energy level is currently only slightly lower than normal, and my motivation is rising. I'm excited to see what other changes this will bring, and I'm still hoping to reboot myself out of the habits I'd rather not have.
Juice Fast
It's easy to unconsciously fall into habits and rituals. Three years ago, I was running a wellness program. Providing thorough supervision meant being available during the various classes we offered, some of which I taught. So I decided to participate in all of them, to show the instructors support and to grow the department by building community. After a few months of participating in Tae Kwon Do, Belly Dance, and the water aerobics and swim lessons I taught, I was down to a size six. At 6'2, that's the smallest size I've ever been. Then I broke my foot.
A fall from a back deck onto concrete badly fractured my right heel. I had surgery, I now have a plate and nine screws (permanent unless something goes wrong), and spent a year recuperating. And I started to develop a deeper, more attached relationship with my couch, the television positioned so conveniently in front of it, and the Dorito bags that so wonderfully appear right next to me. Today I'm still striving to get back to the health and ease my feet used to have.
Up until now, this extended recuperation has been only very gradually building momentum, and my relationships with my couch, television, and Doritos have continued to evolve, turning into habit that now needs to be broken. Groan… Willpower is one of the most exhausting muscles to rebuild. Tonight, my habits have done me a favor.
Sitting on my couch, marathoning television, eating Doritos, I watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. The focus is on a man rebooting his health and dropping weight through a sixty day juice fast. I've fasted before, but not in a long time, and never for sixty days. Now, I feel, is the time to try.
Of course it'll mean giving up my other less than healthy habits. Neither coffee nor tobacco makes much sense while maintaining a cleanse, particularly a long one. Wow, that's scary, coffee and tobacco have been regular habits of mine even longer than the above couch scenario. Coffee won't be so bad, I don't drink it every day though I do dearly enjoy espresso. Tobacco though, tobacco will be a challenge.
I'd actually quit smoking two years ago, it's tough every time. A tragic personal loss, which added to my commitment to the couch scene, created enough stress for me to justify redeveloping the smoking habit I'd conquered. Smokers are often perpetually quitting, and in the past two years I've had a few gos at it. None have stuck for longer than a week, but this time I'm feeling confident again.
Now for the first step, a visit to my primary care physician. In the movie I watched tonight, they repeatedly mentioned checking in with your doctor pre fast to ensure that you're not putting yourself at risk while fasting. Though I've never done this before, all of my past fasts occurred on a wing and a prayer, I've also never committed to doing one for so long, and for two months of pure fluid nutrition, a doctor's supervision makes a lot of sense to me.
The difference between Massage and Bodywork
Generally speaking, the difference between massage and bodywork can be explained as the difference between Western and Eastern practices.
Massage modalities such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Myofascial address specific musculature or circulatory systems, working with the body by releasing specific areas of tension. These are the modalities more frequently encountered in a spa setting, and, typically, clients are expected to relax as their soft tissue releases.
Bodywork modalities like Reflexology, Shiatsu, and Reiki treat the body holistically. With bodywork, the expectation is that increased overall wellbeing will prompt individual musculature to release, and will ease and increase circulation as energetic systems clear and restore the body's ability to heal itself.
Really, both Massage and Bodywork modalities address the same issues, they simply approach it from different perspectives, massage from the micro, and bodywork from the macro. Modalities like the Raindrop Technique are wonderful because they incorporate the best of both (aroma to address rebalancing of the energetic system, and massage techniques utilized on specific musculature).
In the end, choosing the modality best suited to you is completely individual. Often the best way to find out what works for you is to alternate trying new modalities with integrative sessions, where the therapist chooses. Communicating about what works from each can help to quickly develop your ideal treatment plan.
Should Massage Be Painful?
Massage is a passive workout, so it is very possible to do too much. In any therapeutic session, it is important to mention any pain you might experience. In general, massage should not be painful.
It can be tempting to try to breathe through the pain. And it's true that deep breathing will help you relax into a more sedated state, assisting in allowing the therapist to work more deeply more quickly. However, keep in mind that it is possible to overstress the body, and bracing any muscle, the way we all do when experiences get too intense, can be counterproductive to the massage.
A 1 to 10 scale can be really helpful in communicating during massage sessions. With a 1 being very little or no intensity, and a 10 representing the most intensity imaginable, describing the ever subjective topic of pressure becomes possible. The therapeutic range tends to top off around a 6, and can be anywhere within that range, from extremely light to incredibly deep, with all layers of intensity at some time needed to help the body heal.
Once you reach a 7 or above, the likelihood that you will feel sore later or the next day begins to grow exponentially. Bracing also tends to happen at this point. Simply clenching your teeth can tighten your jaw, neck, shoulders, back, and on throughout your body as habitual muscle patterns kick into effect.
Over time, the need for communication between therapist and client will often lessen as the therapist learns the client's average threshold and preferred pressure. But though it lessens, the need to communicate never ceases completely. With an ache or unusual stress, sensitivity may increase, and your generally preferred pressure may not be appropriate for that day. Always feel free and comfortable in letting your therapist know that the pressure needs to be adjusted. We are happiest when providing the most appropriate massage for you.
The Doorway Stretch
The doorway stretch is a great way to relieve neck and shoulder stress. The best part about it is that there are doorways everywhere, read more →
Three Towels Stretch
With our shared typical postural habits – leaning over a laptop, driving while leaning to one side, carrying things on the same side all the time… Many of us experience some discomfort of the neck or back. One of the largest favors we can do for ourselves is the three towel exercise.
The three towel exercise is a passive stretch requiring a beach towel, a bath towel, a small hand towel or washcloth, and a piece of floor. Roll up each towel and lay flat on your back with the beach towel under your knees, the bath towel under the small of your back, and the hand towel under the curve of your neck.
This is a passive stretch, so if you feel any strain, like you might be pushing your body in any way, adjust the towel causing discomfort. Try laying this way for 10 to 15 minutes a day and you'll quickly feel the difference.

Mangalore, August 20, 2015: Wildlife Conservation Society India Program today conducted a workshop on 'Dealing with leopards and elephants in human use landscapes' and the role of media in assisting in resolving these issues. The workshop, which was meant for journalists, was hosted at Mangalore Press Club.
Vidya Athreya and Virat Singh were the chief resource persons for the programme.
In her presentation, Vidya Athreya, a Pune based conservationist who has experience in working with leopards, explained that in India more leopards are found in human use landscapes than in protected habitats.
"Leopards are smaller than tigers and are highly adaptable. They stay quiet during the day and hunt at night. They have taken a liking for dogs and this is what attracts them to human habitats," she said. She also explained that leopards are very shy and general stay away from people. Any attacks happen only when they are provoked and cornered.
"The best way to deal with leopards is to learn to live with them. If we take measures to protect ourselves and our belongings, then leopards won't harm us in any way. Capturing and relocating them does not really help in any way. It actually worsens the situation as the relocated animal gets disoriented and becomes potentially harmful," she said.
She concluded her talk by emphasizing that in rural India, humans have always had ways to live in harmony with wild animals. We should do research and uncover the traditional wisdom, she said.
In his talk Virat Singh, who is a journalist by profession, spoke about how media can help in molding public perception of wildlife. He said instead to feeding sensational negative perception of wild animals, media should interact with forest department and wildlife experts and try to balance the news with truth, human concerns and wildlife concerns. Media can also pick on problems and bottlenecks in wildlife management and highlight them. This will put pressure on decision makers and help the public, he said.
Prabhakar Sharma, Executive Director of Pilikula Nisarga Dhama inaugurated the programme. He said that Pilikula Nisarga Dhama was the main rescue and rehabilitation centre for wild animals in the region. "Every year we deal with 8-10 leopard rescues. Though we release most of them into the wild, in some cases it is not possible as the animal could be permanently injured or it might have been brought in when it was too young and would not know how to live on its own," he said, "Hence there is a need to have a full fledged rescue and rehabilitation unit with all facilities for caring for such animals."
In his welcome address, Dr. Ronald Fernandes, President of Mangalore Press Club observed that the workshop was timely in view of the fact that the media is faced with the challenge of reporting on the increasing incidences of wild animals being found in human habitats.
Niren Jain, Co-ordinator of Kudremukh Wildlife Foundation, introduced the programme and concluded it with vote of thanks.

One Direction's "Midnight Memories" debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week with 546,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The act makes history as the first group to debut at No. 1 with its first three albums. "Midnight Memories" follows two No. 1s for the act in 2012: its debut album, "Up All Night," and sophomore set "Take Me Home." More 1D One Direction Announces North American Stadium Tour Dates One Direction, 'Midnight Memories': Track-By-Track Review One Direction Talk 'Midnight Memories,' Fans, & the Future: The Billboard Cover Story Q&A Further, One Direction is—as we forecast last Thursday—the first group to reach No. 1 with their first three albums since 1967. The Monkees' self-titled debut was released in 1966 and climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in its sixth week on the chart. The TV-born act—riding high with its hit NBC series—followed up the No. 1 success with three more consecutive No. 1s in 1967: "More of the Monkees," "Headquarters" and "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd." One Direction's first-week sales have also steadily grown with each successive album. Its first set, "Up All Night," bowed atop the list with 176,000, while "Take Me Home" launched with 540,000. The act follows the recent successes of Drake, Selena Gomez, Luke Bryan and Vampire Weekend in 2013—all of whose respective albums have bowed with a bigger first week than the one before it. (You canalso include Eminem in that list, to a degree. His last two albums each debuted stronger than the one before.) With the start of "Midnight Memories," One Direction also becomes only the third pop group to log multiple half-million sales weeks in the Nielsen SoundScan era. Since the company began tracking sales in 1991, only two other pop groups have notched more than one sales week of 500,000: 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys. Photos: One Direction's Silliest Instagrams 'N Sync did it seven times with three different albums, while Backstreet Boys did it nine times with two albums. Other duos/groups and bands have earned numerous 500,000-plus frames, but they were all R&B, rap, country or rock acts. (They are: Coldplay, Creed, Dave Matthews Band, Dixie Chicks, Eagles, Guns N' Roses, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Outkast, Rascal Flatts, Santana, the Beatles and Tool.) Last week's No. 1 album, Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," is pushed down to No. 2, despite a 65% sales gain. It sold 199,000 for the week. All but four of the albums in the top 75 of the chart this week have sales increases, courtesy of the very busy Thanksgiving holiday shopping weekend and Black Friday promotions. Scrolling down the chart, the first album to experience a dip in sales is way down at No. 23: Daughtry's "Baptized," which falls by 35% in its second week. All four of the albums in the top 75 whose sales declined are also only in their second week on the chart. (It's always difficult for any album, even during Thanksgiving, to manage a gain in their second week on the chart.) Coming in at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 this week is Garth Brooks' new Walmart-exclusive boxed set, "Blame It All on My Roots." The six-CD/two-DVD set carries a bargain list price of $29.98, but was sale-priced for $24.96. It moved 164,000 copies in less than four days on sale, as the album was released on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 28). The newest tracking sales tracking week ended Sunday, Dec. 1. Garth Brooks a Ratings Winner With CBS Special The effort is the highest-charting album withmore than two discs since April 18, 2009. That week, Prince and Bria Valente's triple-disc set "Lotus Flow3r/MPLSound/Elix3r" debuted and peaked at No. 2. (It also happened to be exclusive to one retailer: Target.) Brooks is no stranger to high-charting multidisc sets. He famously debuted at No. 1 in 1998 with "The Limited Series," a six-CD boxed set of his previously released studio albums (each with a bonus track). "Blame It All on My Roots" features four discs of newly recorded cover songs, along with two discs of greatest hits. (The hits CDs are actually his 2007 "The Ultimate Hits" album.) The release was supported by a two-hour live CBS concert special that airedNov. 29. Brooks last charted on the Billboard 200 with"The Ultimate Hits," which debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Nov. 24, 2007, list. Unlike the new boxed set, "The Ultimate Hits" was not exclusive to Walmart. "Blame It All on My Roots" also arrives at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, the country icon's 13th No. 1 on that list. Of his 16 chart entries, only three missed the top: his 1989 self-titled debut and two Christmas efforts (1992's "Beyond the Season" and 2001's "The Magic of Christmas—Songs From 'Call Me Claus'"). One Direction and Brooks are the only two newarrivals in the top 10 this week. The next-highest debut is the soundtrack to "Frozen," which bows at No. 18 with 44,000. Back in the top 10, the Robertsons' "Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas" is steady at No. 4 with 137,000 (up 127%), and Katy Perry's "PRISM" vaults 11-5 with 136,000 (up 252%). Both albums were among the many sets that were sale-priced at big-box retailers for Black Friday. Both went for $6.99 at Walmart, while "PRISM" also sold for $7 at Target and $4.99 at Amazon MP3. 'Duck Dynasty' Star on Chart-Topping Christmas Album: 'It's Crazy' Kelly Clarkson's "Wrapped in Red" rises 9-6 with 131,000 (up 195%). Like "Duck the Halls" and "PRISM," Clarkson's set was discounted to an attractive post-Thanksgiving price. It sold for $7 at Target. Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" moves up one position to No. 7 with 116,000, a 154% gain. The diva experiences a bump in sales thanks to sale pricing and exposure gleaned from her Thanksgiving night ABC TV special, "Lady Gaga & the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular." The album went for $4.99 at Amazon MP3, $6.99 at Walmart and $7 at Target. Two more discounted sets make gains in the top 10: Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" climbs 15-8 with 109,000 (up 318%), and Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" rises 16-9 with 79,000 (up 228%). Bryan was $6.99 at Walmart, while Cyrus was $7 at Target. Closing out the top 10 is the "Now 48" album, down seven slots, selling 77,000 (up 22%). Over on the Digital Songs chart, Pitbull's "Timber" (featuring Ke$ha) jumps to No. 1 for the first time, selling 237,000 downloads (up 43%). Last week, the song was ranked at No. 4. It's the first No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart for Pitbull, who previously went as high as No. 2 with three different tunes: "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," his featured turn on Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor" and "Give Me Everything." For Ke$ha, "Timber" is her third No. 1 and her first since 2010's "We R Who We R" debuted atop the list. "Timber," like many songs on the chart this week, benefits from performances on the "American Music Awards" (AMAs), which took place on Sunday, Nov. 24. Last week's leader, Eminem's "The Monster," featuring Rihanna, falls to No. 2 with 231,000 (down 4%). The AMAs also help A Great Big World's "Say Something," featuring Christina Aguilera, which climbs 6-3 with 197,000 (up 63%). Also seeing AMAs-related bumps in the top 10: One Direction's "Story of My Life," which re-enters at No. 7 with 118,000, and Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball," which climbs 10-9 with 99,000 (up 11%). Elsewhere in the top 10, OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" dips 3-4 with 175,000 (up 5%), and Lorde's "Royals" slips 2-5 with 144,000 (down 19%). Imagine Dragons' "Demons" falls one rung to No. 6 with 124,000 (down 1%), and Passenger's "Let Her Go" descends a slot to No. 8 with 115,000 (down 1%). Perry's "Roar" rounds out the top 10, falling one position to No. 10, with nearly 99,000 (down less than 1%). Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Dec. 1) totaled 8.6 million units, up 62% compared with the sum last week (5.3 million) and up 14% compared with the comparable sales week of 2012 (7.5 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 253.6 million, down 8% compared with the same total at this point last year (275.3 million). Digital track sales this past week totaled 20.9 million downloads, up 7% compared with last week (19.5 million) and down 6%stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (22.2 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 1.16 billion, down 4% compared with the same total at this point last year (1.21 billion). Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2012 when: Taylor Swift's "Red" returned to No. 1, selling 167,000 (up 22%). Wiz Khalifa's "O.N.I.F.C." was the top debut, bowing at No. 2 with 141,000. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

- Powdered white sugar 1 tbsp
- Icing sugar 1 tsp

- Vegetable Oil 1/4 cup
This recipe of apple fritters is super simple and irresistibly delicious. Just pile up a few basic kitchen essentials in a bowl, toss in luscious and juicy apple chunks, spice it up with apple's best pal cinnamon and there you have it… an incredible heap of fruity goodness.
I love to enjoy my favorite apple fritters with a huge dollop of creamy and smooth vanilla ice cream, a generous serving of dark chocolate sauce and a few toasted almond flakes. Mannn… I can't even describe the joy of eating such an incredible 'Happy Meal'!
- In a large bowl add all purpose flour, ½ tablespoon powdered sugar, salt, baking powder, and mix it a spoon until well combined.
- In another bowl whisk milk and egg until well blended.
- Mix the flour mixture with the milk mixture until the two are just combined. In another bowl toss apple cubes well with cinnamon powder and 1 tablespoon powdered white sugar.
- Now, add the tossed apple pieces in to the flour mixture and give it a nice whisk.
- Heat oil in a small pan and add large dollop of the fritter batter along with apple chunks carefully.
- Repeat the process and add more ladleful of batter at a distance of about two inches from one another.
- Fry the fritter until golden brown in color.
- Flip the fritters and fry the other side to golden brown.
- Flip the fritters again to fry them until brown in color on all sides.
- Transfer the fried apple fritters to another bowl.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Dust the piping hot fritters with icing sugar and enjoy!
Crack open the egg very carefully in to the milk so that no piece of shell is added to the bowl. If you are not too sure of breaking it open perfectly then you may consider breaking the egg open in to another bowl first and then transferring it in to the milk. You may even prepare this recipe until step 4 up to a day in advance and then resume from step 5 before you plan to serve.

Astell&Kern adds Kann Cube DAP
Astell&Kern has been offering a range of impressive music players for some time now, with models tailored for all kinds of budget. Planned to go on sale later this month, the Kann Cube is the second model in its Kann series that saw the original priced at £899. UK pricing is yet to be confirmed for the Kann Cube, but the company says it will offer a more powerful amplifier (12V RMS via balanced connection) with selectable low, mid and high gain modes to enable it to drive a wide selection of headphones. A new amplifier design sees the Cube employ two eight-channel ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DACs in a dual-mono configuration, said to provide a wider soundstage and better stereo separation. It supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 playback natively. MQA compatibility is also on hand both via downloaded audio files and through the Tidal app, allowing hi-res audio via Masters streaming.
Sporting 128GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot for additional storage, battery life claims around nine hours playback from a single charge and there's a fast charge mode via the USB-C port. A 5in screen and the latest quad-core processor claim to improve menu navigation and the user experience to keep playback as fluid as possible. The Kann Cube is available later this month and you can find out more about it here.

ETH Zurich is planning to step up its research activities in Singapore. It aims to extend its current Future Resilient Systems programme by five years and to launch a new programme, Future Health Technologies, in the coming year.
On Thursday, 5 December, ETH Zurich announced its future endeavours involving Singapore. Ahead of the CREATE Council meeting, ETH President Joël Mesot, ETH Vice President for Research and Corporate Relations Detlef Günther, and Director of the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) Gerhard Schmitt hosted an event where the programme directors presented their projects. One new research programme drew especial attention: Future Health Technologies, which ETH will launch in March 2020 in cooperation with Singapore's National Research Foundation (NRF).
Answers for an ageing society
As the population in societies around the world grow older, new challenges are emerging. While Switzerland's healthcare system still functions well today, other countries in Europe are already seeing clear signs of a decline in performance. These signs include, for example, when hospitals and clinics have difficulty staffing their facilities, or week-long waiting lists for scarce places in aftercare and rehabilitation centres. Such problems will become more acute over the coming years all over the world, including in Switzerland, as the ratio of over-60s in the population rapidly increases in the next few decades. Players in the healthcare system - hospitals, research and pharma as well as policymakers and the insurance industry - are under pressure to develop robust and sustainable alternatives.
"Singapore saw the signs early on, and so we can learn a lot there," says Nicole Wenderoth, Professor for Neural Control of Movement at ETH Zurich. She continues: "They have established an Office for Healthcare Transformation that has taken on this challenge." She goes on to explain that in addition, Singapore is keen to address the question of return on investment in general - including when it comes to healthcare. As a result, the city-state offers a future-oriented environment highly suited for developing and testing efficient, practical solutions to this global challenge.
Wenderoth will serve as director of the new Future Health Technologies programme, which ETH Zurich plans to launch under the SEC umbrella in cooperation with partners from local universities, hospitals, and industry. The focus will be on how to deliver healthcare in innovative ways outside of hospitals and clinics. Specifically, the programme will be looking at new approaches in prevention and in supporting patients in rehabilitation after they have been discharged from hospital.
Future Health Technologies
ETH is kicking off the programme with three projects that all address topics of pressing interest to society, which can be addressed only through close cooperation between clinician scientists and researchers from Singapore and Zurich. "We don't just want to know if, say, a particular sensor is functioning properly; we also want to define a process that highlights what is necessary for new technologies to truly improve health and well-being," Wenderoth explains. This process should also identify which barriers stand in the way of an application and how these can be overcome. "In examining these issues, we will flesh out ethical standards and take regulatory concerns into account - two aspects that are essential in developing healthcare technologies to make them more efficient," Wenderoth continues. She believes the resulting insights can then be adapted for Switzerland and other countries.
Preventing bone fractures
What might such a process look like? One possible answer lies in a project by Professors Bill Taylor and Stephen Ferguson from the Institute for Biomechanics at ETH Zurich and Professors Angelique Chan and David Matchar from the Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore. Their work focuses on preventing hip fractures in older people.
Prevention projects aim to change the behaviour of individuals, but because this is very difficult to achieve, it is hard to get financing for broad-based preventive measures. But if it is possible to deliver preventive measures in a targeted way to people who are at a higher risk of falls and fractures, it is ultimately more cost-effective for the healthcare system. This is precisely the point of the project.
The ETH researchers have been conducting gait analyses for years. To help, they developed sensors that can be applied outside the lab to allow them to determine the probability of a person falling even outside of clinical supervision. Ben Helgason from Ferguson's group developed a biomechanical model for this risk group. A simple scan of the hip joint makes it possible to predict if a fall would break any bones, and if so, which ones are likely to fracture. This means the scientists can identify people who are at risk of actually breaking a bone in a fall.
Here is where their clinical counterparts in Singapore come in: they offer the people in this high-risk group exercises for strengthening their muscles or teach them how to protect themselves should they fall.
"At the beginning we will have to study large cohorts," Wenderoth says, "but ultimately we want to develop a phased model." The plan is for older people to do the initial tests on a smartphone to evaluate their risk of falling. These results can aid in further analysis and so will be forwarded to geriatric specialists, who can then suggest targeted exercises and measures for people with an elevated risk.
Using chatbots to influence behaviour
ETH's partners in Singapore are also playing a key role in the second project, which focusses on obesity - a condition that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Given that obesity greatly increases the risk of diabetes, it's necessary to teach the affected persons to change their eating habits - which is no easy task.
Led by Elgar Fleisch, Professor of Information Management, and Florian von Wangenheim, Professor of Technology Marketing, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed chatbots designed to help people adapt their lifestyles. The scientists have not only demonstrated that patients use their chatbots, but also that the chatbots can have a positive influence on the patients' clinical parameters. But for such chatbots to be truly useful, their interactions need to take cultural factors into account. "The new programme in Singapore gives researchers the opportunity to develop such chatbots for Asia," says Wenderoth. As a cultural melting pot, Singapore is well suited to this task.
Also involved in the project is Professor Tai E Shyong, an international obesity and diabetes expert who researches and teaches at the National University of Singapore and also works at the National University Hospital. "Our partners in Singapore are familiar with the different cultures there and are conducting a whole host of field studies in neighbourhoods that represent a range of economic and educational backgrounds. Access to a wide cross-section of society is especially important for a project of this nature," Wenderoth says.
Improving the efficiency of rehabilitation
In the third project, Wenderoth and Roger Gassert, Professor of Rehabilitation Engineering, are teaming up with Professor Karen Chua from Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Professor Ang Wei Tech from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore to develop efficient therapy for stroke patients. One of their approaches is to offer treatment in rehabilitation centres and clinics that they tailor specifically to patients' needs, working off of basic readings and measurements wherever possible. New training technology will also make it possible to offer outpatient treatment, meaning hospitals can discharge patients earlier. This way, they can undergo their usual rehabilitation exercises at home while still receiving remote support from their healthcare professional.
Final negotiations
Before the researchers can start the project in March 2020, ETH Zurich and Singapore's National Research Foundation (NRF) - the founders of the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) - need to work out the final details of the contract. The same applies to the second phase of the Future Resilient Systems programme, which started in 2014 and which first phase is now coming to an end. In this programme, researchers from Zurich collaborate with colleagues from universities in Singapore to address questions on the resilience of various infrastructure systems. They have already published more than 80 scientific studies to date.
Detlef Günther, ETH Vice President for Research and Corporate Relations and Co-Chair of the SEC Governing Board, is confident that the contracts will soon be signed. He emphasises that ETH Zurich's commitment to the living lab, as Singapore describes itself, is strategically important not only for the university but for the whole of Switzerland. "There is a lot we can learn in and from Singapore. We can gain and bring back key experience and insights that we simply don't have access to in Switzerland," Günther says. In addition, the SEC offers an opportunity for doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers to contribute to and be part of a multicultural and interdisciplinary research cluster.
Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC)
The Singapore-ETH Centre for Global Environmental Sustainability (SEC) was established in 2010 by ETH Zurich in partnership with Singapore's National Research Foundation (NRF). As ETH Zurich's academic hub in Asia, it serves to bring researchers from universities, research institutions, industry and government agencies together in one place. The SEC provides the framework for individual five-year research programmes.
Launched in 2010, Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) was the first of these and in 2015 was extended for another five years (FCL 2). A further extension is not possible but in light of FCL's huge success, ETH and the NRF are discussing the launch of a new programme under the working title of FCL Global, which could kick off in the second half of 2020.
Future Resilient Systems (FRS) was launched in 2014 and is now about to conclude. ETH and the NRF are currently negotiating the details of its successor (FRS 2).
The partners are also planning to launch a new programme, Future Health Technologies (FHT), in spring 2020. Contract negotiations for this one, too, are still ongoing to flesh out the details.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer plans to fight a Nevada businessman's effort to trademark the phrase "The Last Best Place," a description of Montana that Schweitzer says "belongs to the people of Montana."
"We'll defend that position vigorously," the governor said Tuesday. "This is something that we've come to identify ourselves with, and something that the people of Montana have spent a great deal of time, money and effort on to promote our state."
"The Last Best Place," coined by Missoula author William Kittredge in 1988 as the title of an anthology of work by Montana writers, has become a prevalent moniker, used not only by the state, but by a large number of businesses in promotional efforts.
Schweitzer said the state will formally oppose Lipson's applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. State officials will argue the phrase should remain in the public domain, Schweitzer said.
A soul that is reluctant to share does not as a rule have much of its own. Miserliness is here a symptom of meagerness. Eric Hoffer

Whether you're a veteran gardener, or a first-timer, one of the most important and helpful tools is a planting table — a chart to tell you when it's ideal, in your geographic zone, to put seeds in soil.
It should go without saying, though folks often forget, that April in New York is different from April in Georgia, or April in Maine. The farther north you go, the later you will still find frozen ground and late frosts. A map of the planting zones gives you essential guidance about average temperatures and the pace of warmer, garden-friendly weather, where you live.
We recommend finding a planting table you like the looks of, and printing it out. Studying the different dates, and the full list of produce, in a relaxed pace can lead to all kinds of inspiration. You might never have thought to grow muskmelons, but seeing it on the chart might awaken the sleeping muskmelon lover within!
When it comes to planting tables, we especially like these two: TheGardenHelper.com is a visually appealing, easily navigated site, with a downloadable table, and even a garden layout planner; also, Cornell's Cooperative extension, based in Westchester, has a planting calendar just for locals. It isn't much to look at, but it gives guidance on when to plant, along with specification about when it's best to sow seeds directly in soil, and when to favor the transplant of plantings.
Oh, and by the way: we're in Zone 6! Happy planting!

Munnys are small vinyl figures for customizing created by kidrobot. Here is one way to customize them.
1) As you can see Munnys are a blank white sculpture.
2) You can add clay to add features to the Munny. Super Sculpey clay works amazingly. After you add the clay baked the figure for about 15 minutes at 200 degrees fahrenheit.
3) For painting the Munny it helps to remove the arms and head. Priming them with a layer of dark paint is good for sinister characters.
4) Drybrush acrylic paint for a gritty look.
5) Ink works really well to add details.
6) Spray with a fixitive to protect your art.

Higher education participation: quality vs. quantity?
"As a PS to my recent blog post on access to higher education, I see that the President of University College Cork, Michael Murphy, has said that we should focus on the quality of students rather than on the quantity. He expressed the fear that student were being admitted into university programmes as a result of the drive to increase participation, whose 'academic abilities are not sufficient for the particular course' …" (more)

Our Story
Craig Wright (Faketoshi) and Ripple (XRP) head to head, who wins?
Dr. Craig S. Wright has claimed a lot of credit for himself by attacking several projects and events in the cryptosphere, and he's at it again. But this time, he probably jumped into the wrong hole.
His latest rant goes against XRP. In this article we're going to debunk some of the "logic" he uses to go against both Ripple Labs and the XRP token. We start with the Tweet from Dr. Wright's (we don't know what his Ph.D. specialty is) that has angered Ripple fans for the last ten days or so. He writes:
There are several things to say here.
First of all, after reviewing many reactions from the XRP community in Reddit and other social media sites we found that nobody wants to try and argue with him at all. That's not to say that they are willing to agree with him either.
It's more that nobody is willing to take him seriously at all, not just because of his latest rant on Ripple and XRP, but because he's made a name for himself attacking the blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in general. Obviously, calling the XRP people "idiots" didn't help either.
Then there's the issue of XRP being a security. From his tweet's context, he seems to believe so. But neither he nor the XRP community will decide if this is true or not. Only the SEC can do that, and it's still studying the case.
Craig Wright seems to have zero economics knowledge
We don't decide if XRP is a security either, but we can give you the facts as we know them now. There is a difference between Ripple, the company, and XRP, the token. If you should buy Ripple's stock, then you would own a piece of the firm. That is a security.
If you buy XRP, all you get are some digital coins. That's a commodity. This is quite an essential difference between financial entities that somebody who claims to be an expert in economics should understand very well. Yet, it seems Dr. Wright doesn't.
And there are already antecedents. SEC hasn't cleared XRP yet, but it's already pronounced itself about both Bitcoin and Ethereum, declaring that they are not securities at all, but that they do have the potential to be real currencies. So why all this insistence in XRP being a security?
It's not that different from all other digital assets. The main difference with Bitcoin is that XRP is not mined, but sold by Ripple at the rate of a billion coins per month.
So yes, a lot of XRP is part of Ripple's actives, but that doesn't mean that the tokens will give you a piece of the company. It's like saying that if I buy Bill Gates' chair, I am getting a piece of Microsoft.
Other objections in the community are that Dr. Wright just spits out personal opinions that are never backed up by hard data, research, or even a basic understanding of cryptography and blockchain technology. And in this particular case, of Ripple's and XRP history.
Also, Dr. Wright has claimed in the past to be Satoshi Nakamoto, which is a 'very hard' claim to prove, and it hasn't gone well with many enthusiasts in the cryptosphere. And so far, we don't know he's shown any kind of definitive proof.
So is he the mythical Satoshi Nakamoto? Is he right about Ripple? You'll have to do your own research and reach your own conclusions. But to us, that doesn't look to be the case.

Global Elite Update – December 28th
Market Overview
The crypto markets had a relief rally last week. We didn't get too excited because we've seen short covering rallies before and that's all it was. Bitcoin had moved from a Strong Sell to Sell to Neutral based on trend-following indicators. Now it has moved back into a Strong Sell.
We see Bitcoin going down and testing the lows and probably breaking them and heading below $3k. Trend-following does work and we have fought the trend for the past 3 months and that's something a trader should never do. Last year, we witnessed it first hand with Bitcoin and crypto. New highs were to be bought. This year, new lows were to be sold. We traded well last year, but this year we ignored our rules and have paid accordingly. There's nothing worse than buying in a bear market. Markets can go lower than anyone imagines and low prices can last longer than thought. That is what we are witnessing now.
In terms of altcoins and against BTC, we are seeing a few rated as a Strong Buy. Right now, these include XRP, Tron,…
Our Story
Global Elite Update – December 6th
Market Overview
We want to apologize to all our members for no updates. We, like many of you and others (we are all in the same boat), are feeling the despair over this crypto bear market. Add in the global equity selloff and you have a perfect recipe for watching your entire portfolio widdle away.
As we write this, all of our crypto positions are underwater. We are HODLing and just watching the next major levels in Bitcoin. All indications right now are that we are in fact heading lower. The next major support on BTC is $3000 and then the line in the sand is $1800. We have to accept the fact that we might see those prices. After all, we never thought we would see $3779 where it as we write this.
The question everyone is asking how did we get here and why?
There's no definitive answer but there are a few things we can point to. For one, the SEC has started cracking down on ICO promotions. DJ Khaled and Money Mayweather both settled with the SEC and had to pay penalties and interest. Many had written the SEC off as no enforcement actions were taken earlier this year. As it turns out, the SEC just moves slow and crypto investors are finding that out now.
Second, there are many questioning the sheer number of cryptocurrencies and what their real uses are. The industry has been so…
Ripple and the Internet of Value
"We don't know when but Internet Of Value solved by Blockchain is going to happen. Make sure we are in the position before this thing takes off." That's what Chris Larsen (Ripple Labs' co-founder) told to Asheesh Birla, a Ripple employe several years ago. This quotation includes everything Ripple is, everything it does and everything it aims for.
Let's start by explaining the meaning of "Internet of Value." This is a philosophical idea that was probably, though we don't know for sure, put forward by Ripple's founders. It refers to the expectations of current internet customers and users.
They want for money to move around the internet as quickly and as seamlessly as the information they use. If you want to send somebody money over the web, it should be as quick, safe and cheap as sending an e-mail, that's the main idea.
So has Ripple made sure it's there before this thing takes off? Let's see.
One of the most archaic financial services in the world is the international transfer among banks (something you can't really do over the internet right now as a private citizen except for credit and debit card payments). This is because settling international payments relies on the SWIFT system.
It was implemented back in 1975, way before personal computers, smartphones, let alone the internet were imaginable technology except in Sci-Fi. SWIFT is slow, expensive, and prone to errors. That's why companies as…

This is a new vineyard sourced by Andrew Thomas. Planted in 1960 on Wilderness Road, the fruit is hand picked and whole bunch pressed. Co-incidentally, Thommo's good mate Mike De Iuliis also picked up some Semillon from an adjoining vineyard to produce a new "Wilderness Road" label.
But here, it's not overly aromatic but still exudes a pretty fragrance of lemons, grapefruit and grass. Due to the wet vintage flavours seem a little dilute. Yet at the same time, those who aren't particularly Semillon savvy would dowse this easily. As with the De Iuliis, there's a waxy character present - a common vineyard trait perhaps. Crisp and refreshing, it would sooth a few wounds on a hot day that's for sure.
Drink now.

These leaders have completed our two years of training and were presented the award of a certificate in ministry. It was such a graceful day!
Four pastors who lead the four church plants that Unreached Africa has planted in the four different villages were among the graduates.
The 'Best Student' was presented with a gift given with a lot thoughtfulness — a bicycle. The Bicycle will help him to shorten his distance from home to his church. He will ride it as he goes to preach door-to-door evangelism.
Every Graduate was given a Bible as a tool to strengthen their faith through reading, learning, praying and trusting God.
We had a large number of guests from many different villages and different churches who came to witness what God has done in the lives of their fellow pastors. On our Guest list we had governmental leaders, community leaders, moslems, witch doctors and Christians among the many.
We were blessed to have pastor Moses Male as our Guest of honor! Pastor Moses is the Coordinator of Fellowship Of Community Churches, he coordinates over 400 churches in the fellowship. He oversees over 1000 pastors and Church leaders all around the country. He serves on the pastoral team of Ggaba Community Church which is located in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. he blessed the pastors and charged them to go and bring an impact in their villages. It was such a graceful day.
As the Director Of Unreached Africa, I had the Opportunity to speak to the pastors that graduated, the community leaders that attended, the families and friends of the graduates and the community that came to witness what God has done. My most emphasis in my speech was to make Jesus Known in all the communities. This function was attended by all different kinds of people, the Moslems, witchdoctors, non believers and Christians as well. Jesus was made famous on that day in the villages. thank you all for your support and prayers. God bless you.
If you would love to share this News letter with your friends, prayer group and family please do share. we encourage you to pray for us as we take the gospel to the Unreached Villages. God is so great we have seen his mercy all the times we have been ministering in the villages.

The Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines remains committed to the provision of quality education to residents of the Grenadines.
Minister of Education, St. Clair Prince, gave the assurance while responding to a question in Parliament on Thursday relating to the lack of Learning Resource Centers in the constituency of Northern Grenadines.
Minister Prince explained that while the Ministry of Education does not have the mandate to build these centers, every effort is being made to provide educational opportunities in the Grenadine islands.

Like many, I think Anjem Choudhary gets far too much attention. I can think of different reasons for wishing he was less visible.
His views are hateful and extreme – why publicise them unnecessarily?
They aren't shared by most British Muslims – it must be infuriating for them to see him being presented as in any way representative.
Some who can happily condemn Choudhary still have views which could be seen as extreme. Focusing on Choudhary helps mask this fact.
So I agree that he probably shouldn't have been invited by the BBC to comment on the murder of Lee Rigby. However this doesn't mean that I think his views should be censored, or that the BBC should be stopped from hosting him. I can think of a couple of pieces that I don't think should have been published – but I wouldn't want anyone to have the power to prevent them from being published where they were, much less ban the expression of such views completely. So I was very wary of Theresa May's initial response to the Woolwich murder, her suggestion that hate speech should be pre-censored or banned, and think Timothy Garton Ash gets it right here:
What May proposes is impractical, illiberal, short-sighted and counter-productive. It would curb a vital freedom without enhancing our security.
Here's another strong point:
But now a state regulator is to pre-censor editorial content, at the bidding of an interior minister, in the name of defending public security and fighting terrorism? Where we have seen that before? Egypt. China. Russia. Welcome to the club.
And, as he goes on to say, unless extraordinarily draconian measures are taken, hate speech will still be readily available – and those who propagate it will be able to pose as free speech martyrs.
