Here's a fun list of what we shouldn't be doing!
32 Ways to Not Chant Japa in 2014
From The Japa Workshop by Mahatma das
(For more classes on Japa, go to www.krishna.com/mahatma)
- To Do List Japa - Meditating on your to do and shopping lists, sometimes adding and deleting items between mantras. This may also include mentally balancing your checkbook or mentally going over which bills you have to pay. Caution: This process can cause you to lament about how many bills you have to pay, and thus changing your prayers from "Oh Lord, please engage me in your service," to "Oh Lord, please add a few more zeroes to the end of my bank balance."
- I Hate Him Japa - While chanting, meditating on who hurt you, how badly you were hurt, how much you hate that person, and what you'll do to get back at him. By the end of 16 rounds your hatred has increased tenfold and you have developed excellent plans and strategies to take revenge.
- I am Right Japa - Meditating while chanting on how right you are and how wrong someone else is, and with every mantra you become more convinced how right you are. Also know as "Pump Your Ego Japa. "
- Watering the Weeds Japa - Chanting so poorly that by the time you finish you feel disgusted, depressed and miserable. Gone are the days of "Chant and Be Happy." Now it is, "Chant and Be Miserable."
- Beat the Clock Japa - You chant as fast as possible in an attempt to get those bothersome rounds over with, sometimes trying to break your previous record of one round in 3 minutes 59 seconds - which was formerly thought to be humanly impossible - until you proved it could be done if one is intensely motivated to get his chanting over with as soon as possible!
- Robot Japa - You chant like a robot. Chanting while totally disconnected from the mood of the mantra. You sometimes wish another devotee or a robot could chant your rounds for you.
- Firing Blank Mantras Japa - Krsna's name is chanted, but your mind and heart are somewhere else - and so is He. The sound Krsna comes out of your mouth, but because there is no consciousness, it is like firing blank mantras.
- Killing Time Japa - Chanting, but thinking of things to entertain yourself with while you chant so you won't be so bored just listening to the mantra. In this way you kill time while chanting and thus make chanting 16 rounds quite tolerable by making it much less painful than usual.
- Creative Japa - Using japa as a time for brainstorming, thus doing some creative thinking, generating new ideas, and finding solutions to your problems. It is useful to have a pen and paper handy to write down your ideas. Although you may get very few rounds done, and you won't get the nectar of the name - you have spent the past two hours in a such a high degree of passion that you will definitely have a long list of good ideas. (But is it really a good idea to ruin your japa to get some good ideas?)
- Novocain Japa - Your heart is so numbed that you feel absolutely nothing when you chant.
- Driving Japa - Chanting while distracted by the task of driving, sometimes accompanied by cursing at people who cut you off (i.e. the anti-trnad api sunicena mantra). Of course, the reason you chant while driving is that you get up late.
- No Japa, Japa - While holding your beads you converse with another devotee, moving your beads as you talk. In this way you sometimes finish a so-called round or two by the end of the conversation. (Oh God, help us!)
- Prajalpa Japa - You chant a few mantras and then speak a few words of prajalpa to your friend. You chant a few more mantras and then listen as they speak some prajalpa to you. Then you respond with some even more juicy gossip. This process often continues for the entire japa session.
- Call and Response Japa - You talk to someone, and while listening to you they chant japa. Then they reply and while listening to them you chant japa.
- Reading Japa - Reading and chanting at the same time. (Note: This would not be a problem if you had two or more heads.)
- Left Hand Japa - Chanting japa while doing something with your left hand (cleaning, cooking, tinkering, organizing, washing your car, etc.). This is very useful for developing left arm strength.
- Bubblegum Japa - Chanting in a way that sounds like you are chewing bubble gum while chanting Hare Krsna.
- New Mantra Japa - Chanting a new form of the Hare Krsna mantra, such as "here kitty, kitty, here kitty, kitty," or "nish, nish, ram, ram, ari, ari."
- Entertainment Japa - Chanting while watching TV or a movie. Note: watching TV while not chanting, but chanting during the commercials is also totally bogus! (And, Krsna conscious video is also included in TV Japa.)
- Internet Japa - A few mantras and a few emails, sometimes chanting and reading at the same time. Inevitably, the beads get put on the table and the right hand lands on the keyboard.
- Window Shopping Japa - Chanting while window shopping (this commonly happens when making the attempt to knock out some rounds while in the shopping mall).
- Boredom Japa - You are so bored while chanting that you feel like killing yourself.
- Relaxing Japa - Lying down or relaxing in a hammock while chanting (often accompanied by coconut water in your left hand).
- Slumber Japa - Taking advantage of japa to get a good nap. Another variety of "Slumber Japa" is trying to fight off sleep, but continually failing. This is also known as "Dive Bomb Japa" due to the head constantly rising and falling (diving).
- Bitter Medicine Japa - Your experience of the holy name is like bitter medicine and your face turns in disgust as you chant.
- Painful Japa - Your mind is so out of control that it is painful to try to control it. Thus, the expression on your face while chanting appears similar to the expression of a person with a knife in their back (or a person with severe constipation). This is often accompanied by banging your head with your hand, or in severe cases - banging your head against a wall.
- Shaking Japa - (Also known as "Ants in Your Pants Japa") - You chant as if you were a toy monkey that was just wound up.
- Radar Japa - Looking around at anything and everything - and everybody - while chanting.
- Audio Japa - Chanting japa while listening to a lecture, kirtan, song, or the radio. This is especially challenging while listening to the radio (unless, of course, it is one of your favorite songs or some juicy news).
- Sightseeing Japa - Walking or driving and chanting while doing some serious sightseeing.
- Shopping Japa - Nish, nish, ram, ram, ari, ari-ing your way through the supermarket or mall.
- Apathy Japa - Chanting with absolutely no desire or enthusiasm to chant.

Floating Points 'Elaenia' – Album Review
Luaka Bop (2015)
Nicknamed the techno Einstein, neuroscience graduate-turned-DJ Sam Shepherd, aka Floating Points, has taken almost as long to produce his debut album, Elaenia, as the legendary physicist did the theory of relativity.
Indeed, it's been seven years and over a dozen E.P.s and singles since the Londoner first began to stake his claim as one of ambient electronica's most intriguing young composers, meaning that this eight-track collection arrives with a certain weight of expectation.
Thankfully, Floating Points appears to have spent his time experimenting in the studio wisely, with Elaenia – named after a poetic dream the 29-year-old had about a bird trapped in a forest – proving to be a masterclass in genre-hopping.
With their hypnotic and interweaving synth patterns, opener "Nespole" and "Argente" both invite listeners onto the dancefloor without providing anything in the way of beats, while the slow-building trance of "Thin Air" and the dreamlike drones of the title track also justify Shepherd's status as an electronic genius.
But it's the more expansive numbers, recorded with a supergroup including various members of Hot Chip, Zongamin and Hejira, which prove that Floating Points' sonic ambitions match those of regular collaborators Four Tet and Caribou.
The eleven-minute "Silhouettes (I, II & III)" is a perfectly executed three-part suite which flits easily between skittering jazz-soul and graceful neo-classical, while closer "Peroration Six" is an absorbing and increasingly intense piece of psychedelic post-rock which evokes Kid A-era Radiohead.
Designed to be listened to as one entire piece, the immersive and consistently majestic Elaenia certainly contains enough twists and turns to hold the attention throughout its 40-minute running time. Let's just hope that Floating Points doesn't take as long following it up.
Share and Enjoy

The Associated Press reported that activists blamed the attacks on "shabiha," a word used to describe armed militias. Syrian government media acknowledged the killings but blamed them on "terrorists" who hope to "bring international condemnation to the regime" in advance of a United Nations Security Council meeting today. Hadi Abdullah, an activists, said "Syrian forces and thugs" were responsible, according to CNN.
Different activist groups gave different counts of the dead, the AP said. The Local Coordination Committee, an activist group, pegged Monday's dead count at 108, with 70 dead in Homs, 45 of which it attributed to the massacre.
Today, US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will meet in New York at a UN Security Council meeting reviewing the Arab Spring so far. The AP said "much attention" will be paid to a private meeting between the two diplomats, who have previously sparred over efforts to end Syria's violence.
Hours before the alleged massacre, Kofi Annan, the joint UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, left Damascus without any agreement to end the violence. Opposition leaders and president Bashar al-Assad ruled out a ceasefire, the BBC reported.

Following protests during his previous visit in October 2016, the ex-IDF soldier will return to give a talk entitled "Overcoming Hatred", to be chaired by UCL Provost Professor Michael Arthur
Hen Mazzig, an Israeli speaker and writer, has been invited to speak at UCL, as a display of the university's commitment to free speech on campus. His engagement, which will be attended by about 100 UCL students and staff, will be taking place on Thursday 25th January.
In October 2016, Hen Mazzig's visit to the university, organised by the UCL Friends of Israel Society, became worldwide news following the decision made by the UCL Friends of Palestine Society to stage a protest at the event.
He is to give a talk entitled "Overcoming Hatred", to be chaired by UCL Provost Professor Michael Arthur, who hinted at the prospect of Mr Mazzig's return following the events of 2016.
"Our invitation to Hen Mazzig is a demonstration of our commitment to freedom of speech", said Professor Arthur, in a statement to the Jewish Chronicle. "UCL is a university that believes in, and aims pro-actively to promote, racial and religious tolerance as well as freedom of speech for all within the law."
Following his previous engagement, which was forcibly cut short, Mr Mazzig was escorted by UCL security, disguised in a fluorescent jacket, away from the Haldane Room, which was blocked by about 150 protestors.
Following allegations of violence and aggravation caused by the protestors, resulting in a police presence, UCL conducted an investigation into the incidents surrounding the event, which was described in the report as having taken place "in a highly disruptive and intimidatory atmosphere".
The UCL Friends of Israel Society commended UCL's decision to host Mr Mazzig on their Facebook page, writing "As a global institution functioning under democratic laws we value our university's commitment to uphold freedom of speech for all". They added that the event should serve as "an opportunity for us as students to redefine how we choose to engage on issues we disagree on".
In response to the event, the UCL Friends of Palestine Society stated that they oppose Mazzig's return. "Despite the union opposing the university's decision to invite Mr. Mazzig", they wrote on Facebook, "the university has decided to unequivocally ignore the student-elected body designed to represent us students and put forth our concerns".
Hen Mazzig, who stated that he intends to use his visit as an opportunity "to promote understanding and dialogue for peace", served in the IDF for five years as part of the Co-ordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit. Since then, he has become an international speaker and activist, discussing his unique perspective on the Israel-Palestine conflict, including as an openly gay commander.
In a recent opinion post in The Jewish News, whilst Mazzig applauded UCL for inviting him back to speak, he noted his disappointment that attendance was being constricted to UCL students and staff only, saying "prohibiting the attendance of the very minority that was attacked during my 2016 UCL event…is inherently impeding freedom of speech".
In the same article, Mazzig declared that his work in the COGAT unit involved "humanitarian co-operation with the Palestinians", including the building of facilities such as schools and hospitals.
However, the UCL Friends of Palestine Society, following the 2016 protest, claimed the unit was "responsible for the day to day management of the military occupation, including demolition of Palestinian homes, forced displacement, restrictions of movement, and is headquartered in illegal settlements".
In November 2017, UCL Friends of Palestine Society itself came under scrutiny for hosting two notorious speakers Azzam Tamimi, who have previously been accused of supporting suicide bombing, and Miko Peled, who sparked outrage in September when he was accused of suggested that whether the Holocaust happened was open to discussion.

Why Should Cannabis be Legalized in the UK?
Why Should Cannabis be Legalized for Medicinal Use?
As per MS Society, 10,000 individuals who are suffering from Multiple Sclerosis in the UK should be allowed to use cannabis legally in order to relieve their "relentless and exhausting" symptoms, experts in the disease have told ministers.
There's no effective treatment for their pain and muscle spasms for few people who are suffering from MS. People with MS shouldn't have to break the law to get the relief they need. It has active ingredients called cannabinoids. Two of these – tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) – Both are part of the active ingredients of Sativex, a prescription drug. This medicine is used for pain relief of muscle spasms in a disease called Multiple Sclerosis.
There are few other cannabis-based medicines such as cannabinoid called as Nabilone, is occasionally to relieve sickness in people having chemotherapy.
As per MS Society, around 72% people with Multiple Sclerosis we asked said cannabis should be legalised for medicinal purposes. Evidence shows cannabis for medicinal use works for some people to relieve pain and muscle spasms in MS when other treatments don't work.
Countries including Germany and Canada have already made Cannabis available for medicinal use, and Ireland is considering it.
So what is Cannabis?
It is also commonly called Marijuana, Weed, Pot, Dope or Grass is the most widely used illegal drug in the United Kingdom. We can broadly divide it into 2 broad categories.
Unlicensed Based
Cannabis that's grown and sold illegally comes in these main types:
• Marijuana or 'weed' (the plant's dried leaves and flowers). These days the most common type is the Skunk, a very strong strain of cannabis with high levels of THC.
• Hash (the drug in its smokeable resin form).
• Cannabis oils.
There are certain products which are made using the CBD chemical found in cannabis. These products include oils you take by mouth (for example, under your tongue or with a mouth spray) or by vaporising. They will not get you too high as they the amount is very little or they do not have THC in them.
As per law, these types of oils cannot be sold publically for medicinal use without a licence. But you could find some are selling them as 'food supplements'.
Licensed Based
There are 2 types of cannabis-based medicine which are legally allowed to be sold in the UK as they have gone through the trails and testing process.
Nabilone, which comes under the name Cesamet – It is for cancer patients which helps them feeling sick during chemotherapy.
Sativex, which comes under the name Nabiximols- It is a mouth spray to treat muscle spasms and stiffness in MS. It is only available through NHS in Wales. Anywhere in the UK, a doctor can give you a private prescription for Sativex if you can afford the cost.

I've been blogging for four years today. It's kind of hard to believe it's been that long. It's also amazing how many people I know who have started blogging in that time! I love that.
I still enjoy this pastime, especially the element of staying in touch with family and friends, and even meeting new friends. That's been really cool.
Just checked my stats and saw that this is my 1424th post. That's almost one a day for four years! I'm surprised it's that many, but of course, posting my daily pics last year contributed largely to that number.
Thank you all for being here. I really like having these conversations with you (even if I don't "hear" your side of it)!
P.S. In case you missed Neil's comment, Goldy #2 was acquired this morning (and I was right; the girls call our second goldfish Goldy too). So far, so good!

Yang Boyang
A Chinese woman fell into a fast-moving stream and drowned while on a jungle trekking tour in Chiang Mai. Several other tourists on the same tour also fell into the water, but survived.
The tour group consisted of visitors from the US, the UK, Germany, China and Cambodia, among others. They were all on a trekking tour to Huay Satan Waterfall in Pang Koh village in Mu 3 area which had been organised by a local tour operator.
Pol Col Sakon Gaeosa, who serves as an investigation inspector at Mae Taeng police station in Chiang Mai, received news of the accident at around 17:00 on Tuesday, September 5. His officers, the Chiang Mai Tourist Police and district administration officials were seen at the accident site supported by volunteers from the local rescue foundation.
Making a statement about the incident, Pol Col Sakon said: "When we arrived, we found two groups, one with Asian members and the other one with travellers from mostly Western countries. The tourists , who had suffered minor injuries in the water, told us that a 26-year-old Chinese girl named Yang Boyang had fallen in and then been washed downstream as a result of the strong current. Sadly, Ms Yang's body was found an hour later – some 1,000 metres further down the river from where she fell in."
Farang Deaths managed to interview a British tourist who was part of the tour group and witnessed the accident. He claims the group set out after breakfast at around 13:00 despite strong signs that it was going to rain. "Some members raised their concerns, but the Thai tour guide brushed them off, seeing rain as some kind of a challenge," he said.
According to his account, after about 100 metres into the trek, the guide took the group along a difficult route that led towards the waterfall. Our witness reported that around 2 o'clock, they arrived at a stream, but found it too strong to wade through. Instead, the tour guide urged the group to cross the stream by hopping from rocks and logs. The witness, who prefers to remain nameless, and his girlfriend helped everyone to get to the other side of the bank."
He told us: "Everyone in my group made it to the other side except me and my girlfriend. A Japanese man from the other group lost his balance and fell into the water taking Ms Yang, who was clinging to his arm, with him. Before the fall, she looked very scared. I don't think she knew how to handle the situation."
Describing what happened next, this witness said, a girl whom he thought was German, a friend of Ms Yang and her boyfriend jumped into the water to try and save her as well as himself. All five were carried downstream in a flash. He reports, "I managed to grab a tree branch, but it snapped off. The current ripped off most of my clothes and I was swept another 50 metres down the river until I managed to get hold of a banana tree trunk and pull myself out of the river." He suffered a swollen left foot and abrasions on his shins.
Everyone managed to crawl out of the river, but Ms Yang was nowhere to be seen. According to the witness we spoke to, the tour guide initially wanted to wait for authorities instead of trying to look for Ms Yang himself. However, the rest of the group insisted they start looking for her immediately.
An hour later, her body was found about 1,000 metres downstream with extensive injuries. "Her face was so badly injured, I couldn't look at it." said the British tourist, adding: "Two people in our group tried to administer first aid, but it was too late. She had already passed away."
Rescue volunteers transported Ms Yang's body to a Chiang Mai hospital. Police have informed the Chinese Embassy who start the process of repatriating her body to her family in China. A post-mortem examination has been scheduled as a matter of course.

Opening this weekend for summer movie goers is the family-friendly chick-flick Monte Carlo, starring Disney channel star Selena Gomez.
I say "family-friendly" because this movie is as close to squeaky-clean as you can get. The PG rating is for "brief mild language," but I actually don't even remember any "brief mild language." What an enjoyable change of pace, too – being able to watch a movie with my two oldest teen daughters and not feel a blush rising up my face as things get…inappropriate…on screen.
And I say "chick-flick" because, honestly, I can't imagine a boy of any age really enjoying this movie. It's a girl's Cinderella, coming-of-age story all the way. Which was JUST FINE with my daughters and me!
Monte Carlo is all the things you want a chick-flick to be: romantic, sweet, funny, and a generally good time. The soundtrack is great, and the boys? Oh, the boys are pretty darned cute!
But what surprised me about Monte Carlo were some of the deeper emotional themes, which were just enough to add a more mature, robust feeling to this movie. It's not Kramer vs Kramer here, but the movie definitely offered more than the cotton candy/syrupy sweet stuff I was expecting.
There are parts of the Monte Carlo that are definitely slower than others, but I personally like the way everything unfolded. I also enjoyed Selena Gomez in this movie, sweet but solid, and her friend and step-sister in the film, played by Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester. Apparently I live under a rock, because I was not familiar with these other two actresses, who I guess are well-known from the CW show Gossip Girl. I'm glad I didn't make the association, though, so I could enjoy each of them playing into their characters, each complicated for their own reasons.
Monte Carlo is ultimately predictable and not especially profound, but I found myself attached to the story and had fun following these girls on their wild ride through Texas, Paris, Monte Carlo, and beyond.
*Disclosure: My two oldest daughters and I were able to attend a press screening of this film in order to facilitate this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions expressed are honest and my own. And I dare you not to swoon – even just a little! – over Luke Bracey, who plays Riley in this movie. Yum!

It's part Milton Berle, part Bob Hope, part vaudeville, part farce, with a big dose of camp thrown in for good measure. The Ladies Auxiliary might find it irresistible. It's Love Child. Unlike vaudeville, though, there are no costumes or even hand props. The performers remain in their street clothes throughout the performance, making Candice Donnelly's costuming job perhaps the easiest in all New York City theater. What you do get for 80 minutes are two middle-aged men (writer-performers Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton) running around, playing many characters simultaneously, and frequently screaming. Stanton and Jenkins are perhaps a bit too fond of inventing their own sound effects for everything taking place in their world, including various bodily functions. Imagine two droll Robin Williams' verbally going at each other, sometimes oblivious and possibly high on speed, and you've got Love Child.
Competently directed by Carl Forsman, the production is ridiculous and waggish. Several of the characters are trying to mount an updated version of Euripedes' Ion in a theater in Red Hook. Joel, the production's manager/actor, played by Jenkins, gets an opening night visit from his eccentric aunt (Stanton) and his disturbed mother, also played by Jenkins, and the ancient story of the bastard child, Ion, becomes a real-life adventure for the confused Joel, as he learns the identity of his biological father.
Neil Patel's set is essentially a phone in, with huge drop cloths draped over paintings, possibly from another show. The set itself consists of six chairs which Jenkins and Stanton use as launch pads to strenuously portray 20 less than hilarious characters in this manic game of musical chairs. Lighting design by Jeff Croiter and Grant Yeager is smart and crisp; at one point they briefly transform the stage into a disco.
Stanton and Jenkins are not untalented. Though their knowing and frequently politically incorrect brand of humor picks some easy targets — effeminate men, welfare mothers, the homeless, their impressions — of Joel's neurotic mother and a Mexican talk show host, for example —are temporarily interesting in an over-the-top way. Their timing is impeccably precise; they have clearly worked hard on this show.
The problem is that Love Child just isn't funny. The bit that drew the biggest laugh was a recurring one where Stanton slips on a greasy floor. Yuk-yuk! For a second I thought the ghost of Sid Caesar might materialize, until I remembered that he's still alive. Ba-dummm-chhh!
One problem is that Stanton and Jenkins jump too frenetically from character to character and situation to situation; it's like a Family Guy episode. After a while, you stop trying to pay attention and just let the waves of cheese wash over you. This brand of comedy is so antique, so bygone, so outmoded that I wouldn't be surprised if Love Child someday becomes a hit on the Buffalo dinner theater circuit.
All in all, Love Child is another harmless mediocrity in the dysfunctional family comedy genre. In this case, the family is a theater family. Stanton and Jenkins valiantly attempt to lace the comedy with anecdotal profundity that, more often than not, also flops.
With the possible exceptions of two brief and semi-clever quasi-musical numbers, Love Child is, in a word: lame. A lady in front of me kept flicking on a blue LED light to check her watch. It was annoying but I peeked over her shoulder every time she did it.

The latest big trend in the world of comics and cartooning can be summed up in one word: Manga. Growing out of a style of Japanese cartooning and easily identifiable by its compact 5×7" size and expressive black-and-white art, Manga books have an enormous following and an eager worldwide audience.
That audience can now check out two recently published Manga works by SVA alumni: June Kim (BFA 2003 Cartooning) has 12 Days out on the esteemed Tokyopop imprint, and Matthew Loux (BFA 2001 Illustration) has Sidescrollers on bookshelves from Oni Press. 12 Days is a romantic exploration of love and loss in which the main character, Jackie, consumes the ashes of her recently deceased lover Noah in an elaborate 12-day ritual. On the lighter side is Sidescrollers, which follows the comic exploits of Brian, Brad and Matt, a trio of affable slackers who are launched on an accidental adventure that involves an irate football team, a vengeful pack of Girl Scouts and an evil cat.

For more than 30 years, the Orcas Island Education Foundation has been providing support to our public schools to make up for the failure of Washington state legislature to fully fund education.
It's one more example of how our community values youth on this island.
The foundation is launching a quirky, interactive fundraiser this summer. In the "One Arm Tied Behind Your Back" volunteers are asked to perform an activity with only one arm, film it, post it on social media and encourage community members to donate funds at www.oief.org.
Putting yourself out there on the world wide web might not be your thing – but please donate. Any amount you can. Thanks to OIEF, our students' school experience is enriched with classes in such topics as guitar building, theater, debate and physics.
The foundation also oversees two very special programs: Arts for Orcas Kids, known as A-OK, and Farm to Cafeteria. A-Ok brings local artists into the classroom to bring visual arts to life, and Farm to Cafeteria allows students to maintain the 8,000-square-foot school garden. In addition, school meals are now entirely cooked from scratch and include local produce, fruits and meats.
OIEF is committed to providing funding to the Orcas School District when the state has failed to do so.
The Washington State Constitution says: "It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex."
Legally and constitutionally, Washington is expected to fund basic education, but the state has repeatedly neglected to do so. The term "basic funding" encompasses sufficient funding for all students and adequate compensation of teachers.
A lawsuit was filed by the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools in 2007 on behalf of two Washington state families with school-aged children: the McClearys and the Venemas.
The King County Superior Court oversaw the trial, which began in 2009, and mandated that the state must "proceed with real and measurable progress to establish the actual cost of amply providing all Washington children with the education mandated." The state appealed the court's decision. The Washington State Supreme Court in 2012, determined that "…the state legislature has failed to fulfill its paramount duty to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders." The state has been given until 2018 to fully fund basic education, leaving each school district to continue funding its programs. In August 2015, when the state failed to demonstrate any progress toward the 2018 goal, or any plan for doing so, the Supreme Court began fining the state $100,000 a day until it complied.
The Orcas Island Education Foundation believes that great school districts make for great communities. We believe that too.
Thank you to OIEF and its many supporters for providing opportunities for our children to grow and succeed.

text: Sexual Health Print The Little Pink Pill That Boosts Female Sex Drive By Naveed Saleh, MD, MS Updated July 09, 2019 Medically reviewed by a board-certified physician Photographer/Getty Images More in Sexual Health Birth Control STDs Reproductive Health Issues Abortion To its detractors, flibanserin, a pink pill targeting female libido and made by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, is just another example of disease mongering. Disease mongering refers to the practice of pharmaceutical companies and others "pathologizing" aspects of the human condition in order to make a buck. For example, halitosis or bad breath only became a condition that needed treatment after Listerine was developed to "treat" it. However, to its supporters, female sexual interest/arousal disorder is a very real disease, and flibanserin can help. These supporters cite the distress caused by a diminished or nonexistent sex drive. There are a number of different types of female sexual dysfunction. What Is Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder? Female sexual interest/arousal disorder refers to a reduction or absence of sexual interest in a woman that lasts 6 or more months and causes distress or interpersonal difficulties. Moreover, such disinterest is unattributable to another disease (think diabetes or depression) or drug (think antidepressants). It's important that this loss of sexual desire causes distress or difficulty because, otherwise, it's not really a problem. After all, lots of people have a long-standing disinterest in sex that doesn't cause personal problems, and this is fine. Researchers posit that female sexual interest/arousal disorder involves complex brain circuitry controlling reward processing. Specifically, this condition affects frontostriatal pathways and neuronal projections of the insula, amygdala, hypothalamus, and ventral striatum. In women with such sexual interest and arousal issues, sexual motivation and pleasure are adversely affected. Of note, aberrant reward processing slices into other psychiatric disorders including depression, schizophrenia, substance abuse, dementia, eating disorders and other sexual disorders. Researchers have discovered changes in functional MRI that suggest macrocircuit anomalies attributable to female sexual interest/arousal disorders. For instance, women diagnosed with this disorder exhibit abnormal activation in the brain's cortical and striatal regions. 6 Tips For Coping With Sexual Side-Effects From Antidepressants How Does Flibanserin Work? It's really difficult (impossible) for scientists to measure specific neurotransmitter levels in different parts of the brain. However, using microdialysis techniques and nodes within brain networks, researchers postulate that flibanserin increases the release of both dopamine and norepinephrine and reduces the release of serotonin in women with reduced sexual interest and desire. Flibanserin can distinguish between serotonin receptors and stimulate serotonin 5HT1A receptors while blocking serotonin 5HT2A receptors in the prefrontal cortex thus increasing the downstream release of dopamine and norepinephrine. These combined neurotransmitter effects help better regulate reward processing and increase feminine libido. Of particular note, flibanserin works on neurotransmitters, not hormones. Although hormones have proven effective in boosting libido, adverse effects make them too risky as treatment. Moreover, flibanserin is not "female Viagra." Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the genitals using a completely different mechanism and affecting a different site of action (genitals vs. brain). Results from two clinical trials titled BEGONIA and DAISY suggest that flibanserin can increase feminine libido. Combined, these randomized and placebo-controlled trials examined 3,548 women with a sexual interest and arousal disorder. After 24 weeks of once-daily treatment with 100 mg flibanserin, satisfying sexual events, sexual desire, and distress caused by low sexual desire were measured using various (subjective) questionnaires. Researchers observed that in participants taking flibanserin—as compared with those taking placebo—there was an increase in a number of satisfying sexual encounters and level of sexual desire and a decrease in distress caused by low sexual desire. Serious adverse events in these trials occurred in fewer than one percent of participants, and none of these serious events were attributable to flibanserin treatment itself. Less serious adverse effects included dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and sleepiness (most common). Another randomized and placebo-controlled trial named SNOWDROP examined 949 postmenopausal women with female sexual interest/arousal disorder (technically hypoactive sexual desire disorder—a DSM-IV-TR term that has since been modified to sexual interest/arousal disorder in DSM-5). Much like the other trials, results indicate that flibanserin improves sexual desire, a number of satisfying sexual events and reduces sexual distress all while causing few adverse effects. In the SNOWDROP trial, 37.6 percent of women on flibanserin versus 28.0 percent of women taking placebo reported satisfying sexual events. Although in some of these studies researchers attempted to include participants taking antidepressant medications, antihypertensives, triptans, and some antifungals, one major limitation of these studies is sampling bias. In other words, because issues with sexual arousal and desire are pervasive and affect all types of women, it was hard to test whether flibanserin works for everyone. Citing concerns about safety and efficacy, the FDA has refused to approve flibanserin twice—rejections with which its maker, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, and others take issue. From a medical treatments perspective, I definitely sympathize with the FDA's concerns. Fibanserin tools with several neurotransmitters and considering that many of the women who will take the drug will also be taking other drugs that further alter neurotransmitter levels — like antidepressants and anxiolytics — it's best to take a cautionary stance. Conclusion Many people honestly don't know what to think of flibanserin. On the one hand, many people are suspect of pharmaceutical companies and their intentions and predict that if approved, flibanserin may be overprescribed to certain women like those who experience no distress related to a paucity of sexual desire or arousal. On a related note, everything about Sprout's marketing of flibanserin screams manipulation including the pill's pink color and floral-monikered clinical trials. On the other hand, it's hard to understand the effects of flibanserin unless you're a woman who uses the drug. The Willingness Model of Sex Therapy Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Hi! Don't want to forget about this site?
January 2003 MARKET REPORT
Dear Valued Customers,
The New Year has begun and like many of you I am excited to find out what the world of comic collecting has in store for me. What will be hot? Which books will appreciate the most when the new price guide comes out? What new collection will be unearthed? Will there be another record breaking price realized for a single comic sale? We can only wait with baited breath.
Next month the Daredevil movie will be released on Valentine's Day (how romantic). I believe many dealer's and collectors will be trying to capitalize on the film by offering many #1s and key high grades on ebay. However, I have my doubts as to how well they will do. Daredevil does not have the hype or name recognition that Spider-Man had. It will be compared to Spider-Man which did better than anyone expected it to do. This combined with ebay not being what it used to be should show my predictions to be correct.
Low and behold as I looked back over this month's sales and I saw that 2 Daredevil #1s sold, one in G/VG $240.00 and the other a VG- $305.00. Other titles that sold well this month include low grade All Flash Quarterly, high grade Avengers, high grade 1950s Batman, mid and high grade early Showcase and high grade Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense.

I bought this dress for my wedding in Santa Monica in 2007. It is a gorgeous 100% silk dress with beading on the sweetheart neckline and train. The dress was worn for the ceremony and pictures only. We did not have a reception, only dinner at a local restaurant afterwards.
I loved this dress because it has very simple elegant, classic lines, but still something interesting.
The color is diamond white, which is white, but not harsh like a sheet or paper.
The dress was purchased from Alfred Angelo in Beverly Hills.
I still have all the original tags for the dress including the beaded spaghetti straps that were never worn.
There are no alterations on this dress. The only thing that has been done is the bustles which tie up from underneath. I believe the seamstress called it a "French Bustle". The hemline was perfect for me with my shoes and since it has a corseted back there were no adjustments made to bodice of the dress.
The dress was professionally dry cleaned and packaged 1 week after the wedding. It has been sitting in my closet since then.

Yesterday at WWDC 2017, Apple released its newest addition to the iPad line-up with the high performance tablet iPad Pro.
This new release brings the iPad Pro closer than it has ever been to functioning as a full-fledged computer. First, the 10.5 inch iPad Pro is 20% larger than the previous iPad release due to its beveled edge and provides the most striking display of any iPad on the market. Next, Apple made significant changes with iOS 11 that allow the device to function more like a traditional computer. A newly added docking station, similar to that seen on an iMac or MacBook, allows for easier access to your most used applications. Quick grab functions make dragging and dropping files between applications a breeze and the new pen allows you to draw directly on PDF files.
This high performance tablet is the most versatile version of the iPad available. Now that its iOS functions more like a computer, the device can better handle multitasking. Tablets may never replace computers for full-time use, but the new iPad Pro is a smart option for doing work on the go.

Payments to S Corporation Shareholder Were Loan Repayments, Not Disguised Wages
Normally when we discuss a case of an S corporation shareholder who performed services for the entity, reported no salary but received cash we end up with a finding by the Court that the payments represented disguised salary. But that is because, normally, the shareholder has been trying to argue the payments represented a distribution from the S corporation.
In the case of Scott Singer Installations, Inc. v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2016-161 the taxpayer did not argue that the payments represented distributions and, in fact, the taxpayer agreed that, as a corporate officer, he would be an employee of the corporation. But the taxpayer argued in this case that the payments amounted to repayments of loans he had made to the corporation—and the Tax Court agreed with the taxpayer.
The IRS was skeptical of the view that there had actually been loans made to the S corporation, though not that funds had been advanced to the corporation. Rather the IRS found that those advances were capital contributions instead of loans—and, thus, the payments were not repayments of loans.
The Tax Court noted that the question of whether advances are capital contributions or loans must be evaluated on a case by case basis, taking into account all facts and circumstances. The opinion notes:
Courts have established a nonexclusive list of factors to consider when evaluating the nature of transfers of funds to closely held corporations. Such factors include: (1) the names given to the documents that would be evidence of the purported loans; (2) the presence or absence of a fixed maturity date; (3) the likely source of repayment; (4) the right to enforce payments; (5) participation in management as a result of the advances; (6) subordination of the purported loans to the loans of the corporation's creditors; (7) the intent of the parties; (8) identity of interest between creditor and stockholder; (9) the ability of the corporation to obtain financing from outside sources; (10) thinness of capital structure in relation to debt; (11) use to which the funds were put; (12) the failure of the corporation to repay; and (13) the risk involved in making the transfers. Calumet Indus., Inc. v. Commissioner, 95 T.C. 257, 285 (1990); see also In re Lane, 742 F.2d 1311, 1314-1315 (11th Cir. 1984).
The Court then boils down the test to a simple question:
However, the ultimate question is whether there was a genuine intention to create a debt, with a reasonable expectation of repayment, and whether that intention comported with the economic reality of creating a debtor-creditor relationship. Litton Bus. Sys., Inc. v. Commissioner, 61 T.C. 367, 377 (1973).
In this case, the Court outlined the facts as follows:
In order to fund petitioner's growth, Mr. Singer began raising money from various sources. In 2006 Mr. Singer established a $224,000 home equity line of credit. In less than a year Mr. Singer had drawn on the entire line of credit and advanced the funds to petitioner. In 2006 Mr. Singer also established an $87,443 line of credit by refinancing a home mortgage. He likewise advanced the entire amount to petitioner within the same year. In 2008 Mr. Singer established a 115,000 general business line of credit and advanced all the funds to petitioner. Mr. Singer also borrowed $220,000 from his mother and her boyfriend and advanced all the funds to petitioner throughout 2007 and 2008. In sum, Mr. Singer advanced a total of $646,443 to petitioner between 2006 and 2008. Petitioner reported all of the advances as loans from shareholder on its general ledgers and Forms 1120S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation, but there were no promissory notes between Mr. Singer and petitioner, there was no interest charged, and there were no maturity dates imposed.
The Court noted, though, that while the business was initially profitable, following the 2008 real estate crisis the company's fortunes took a nasty turn for the worse. That forced the taxpayer, who no longer could obtain any commercial financing, rather now obtaining money from this mother and her boyfriend.
The Court noted that the corporation had always reported the amounts in question on its books as loans on its books and tax returns, though no interest had been charged, no notes signed and no maturity dates established. Despite those issues, the Court found that through 2008 the advances did represent loans—the evidence suggested the shareholder intended to be repaid these funds and it was reasonable to believe the corporation would do so.
However, the Court found that the later advances represented capital contributions, as the large operating losses no longer made it reasonable to assume that the corporation would be able to repay the advances. Even though the Court found the shareholder still intended for these advances to be loans, the lack of a reasonable prospect for repayment rendered the payments capital contributions.
As the opinion notes:
When neither petitioner nor Mr. Singer was able to raise funds from unrelated third parties, Mr. Singer must have recognized that the only hope for recovery of the amounts previously advanced to petitioner was an infusion of capital subject to substantial risk. After 2008 the only source of capital was from Mr. Singer's family and Mr. Singer's personal credit cards. No reasonable creditor would lend to petitioner. Accordingly, we find that advances made in 2008 and earlier were bona fide loans and that advances made after 2008 were more in the nature of capital contributions.
But the good news for the taxpayer was that the amount of payments in question for the years under exam were less than the amounts the Court had found represented loans—and thus the Court found no salary payments to the shareholder.

Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
Colossians 1:28
128 Student Ministries is a group of junior and senior high school students that exists to proclaim Christ in order to become complete in Christ. The youth are led by our Youth Pastor, Ryan Trzeciak.
The student who enters 128 Student Ministries will be challenged to be a devoted follower of Christ, who loves the church and has a desire to serve Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. It is our prayer that this desire grows throughout the teenage years and will continue throughout their entire lives. This practically takes place through discipleship, fellowship, evangelism, and service.
Activities for our Youth
The youth meet weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30pm at the church to play games, learn from the Bible, and encourage one another in our walk with Christ. The group is led by Pastor Ryan Trzeciak.
The youth meet every Sunday at 10:00 - 11:00am for their Sunday school class. Pastor Ryan is currently teaching a series on the fundamentals of the faith.
Our Bible Quizzing team is for youth in grades 7 through 12. They study a book of the Bible each year, memorize Scripture, and study to learn the meaning of the Scripture. They compete against other churches in the area at quiz meets. This is an exciting ministry and our Eastridge team always places very well in the meets. The team is coached by Kristen Thompson.
128Collective is a collaberative music ministry for high school students. The goal is to train musicians and interested students to work as a team to use their skills in serving the church through music, audio, visual, and speech. There are no auditions. Every student will have the opportunity to learn instruments, sing, use the sound equipment, run PowerPoint, plan music sets, read Scripture aloud, pray corporately, arrange songs, compose, and more. For more information, contact Lynnette Emme.
Activity Participation Form
We love taking the youth to special events, but before they can join us, we need to have the legal stuff taken care of. Please fill out an Activity Participation Form for each student so they can take part in our fun activities. Download and print the form, then give the completed form to Pastor Ryan.

Cito is excited about this tour! "We cannot wait to hit the road and rock the coast this December! We've been having so much fun with our live shows throughout this year, but this tour will be insane. New songs and our fan favourites."
It's been 22 years of WONDERboom powering through a career that keeps growing from strength to strength, so be part of the celebration and join the 'BOOM' this summer!

Boise State-Washington football tickets on sale to season-ticket holders starting Monday
Starting Monday, Boise State season-ticket holders will be able to purchase single-game tickets for the Broncos' Sept. 4 season opener against Washington.
The school announced in January that the individual tickets would only be available to season-ticket holders. The game at Albertsons Stadium is the first to feature a visiting "power five" conference team since Oregon State in 2010, and the Huskies just so happen to be coached by former Boise State head coach Chris Petersen.
Individual tickets will be sold based on the priority point ranking — those with a rank of 1-500 will be able to purchase tickets at 9 a.m. Monday. Those with a rank of 501-1,000 will be able to do so at 9 a.m. Tuesday, followed by ranks of 1,001-2,000 at 9 a.m. Wednesday, and finally ranks of 2,001 to non-priority at 9 a.m. Thursday until the allotment runs out. Prices range from $50-$90 with no junior or senior pricing. Season ticket prices start at $155. Most tiers' pricing remains the same as last season, and some have dropped.
Seat locations will not be provided at time of purchase, but will be determined when tickets are mailed out in mid-August, when other individual home game tickets go on sale to season-ticket holders. Tickets can be ordered at BroncoSports.com. The ticket office can be reached at 426-4737, and questions regarding the points system can be directed to the Bronco Athletic Association at 426-3556.
Tough news for a former Boise State great — offensive lineman Ryan Clady, the highest-drafted Bronco ever, tore his ACL practicing for the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Denver confirmed the report soon after. He is expected to miss the 2015 season. He missed nearly all of the 2013 season with a foot injury.
Selected 12th overall in 2008, Clady has been named to four Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro in 2009 and 2012.

Finding the right business in a world where there are a lot of businesses is something that is somehow hard. The reason is because there are so many businesses even trending and on the first page of Google. That makes it hard for you to even know and get an understanding of the best kind of business to work with. And to be honest, you need to always be aware of the business quality and the business production in terms of quantity and quality. So the important thing is to always be aware of where to look and what to look for.
So if this is you and you are interested in getting the right business then you need reviews. Reviews are pretty amazing since they help you know the pros and the cons of a business. And this is the most helpful thing in the longrun. To be honest, reviews help you determine so much like the pricing and the quality of services that are offered too. Getting a good business should not be hard anyway. All you need to do is to use the internet. The internet is an easier way for you to find the correct businesses that you would want to invest in or even much better to work with.
For authentic coolray Atlanta reviews, visit this page.
Reviews are better since they tell you all the things you would need to know about businesses. Using social media to find the reviews is an easier approach rather than just using search engines. On the other hand, find people who have worked with the company you are thinking of and ask them for the reviews you need. These reviews should help you come to a position where you now understand everything. Reviews are also important since you can learn so much too about the people who work in the company and those you need to avoid working with.
As long as it is a business review, you will learn so much about so many companies out there that you had no idea you would no about. Reviews also help you put you on the edge to learn about new businesses and how to use the current tech to improve business and how these businesses use tech. At least with reviews you are assured finding a company that has some level of quality services. Reviews are pretty amazing and to be honest they are the most simplest ways you can use to get more info about businesses.

Writing as Robert L. Bryan, Robert Jestic is a law enforcement/security professional with over 35-years of experience. He served twenty years with the NYC Police Department, retiring at the rank of captain. Mr. Bryan has also served in the United States Coast Guard and the US Border Patrol. He is currently the Chief Security Officer for the Division of Revenue in the NYC Transit Authority. He has a master's degree in security management and is an adjunct professor at a NYC college. Two of Mr. Bryan's books received awards in the 2017 Public Safety Writers Association writing competition. C-Case: An Unlikely Journey from Transit Cop to Internal Affairs Bureau Squad Commander and Dark Knights: the Dark Humor of Police Officers won second and third place awards, respectively, in the non-fiction category.
Fiction - Suspense/Thriller
The Last Day
York City is the target and the countdown has begun. An Islamic terror cell has
initiated an operation to detonate a nuclear device in Manhattan. Thrust into
the middle of this potential Armageddon for New York City are the only four
people who can stop it.
Bobby Moylan has been a cop's cop for 42-years and is
reluctantly facing his last day due to mandatory age retirement.
Ellen Tomlinson, the Commanding Officer of NYPD Transit Borough Manhattan, was
mentored by Moylan and has remained close friends over the years. Ellen has
always yearned for much more than friendship with Bobby Moylan, and this may be
her last day to fulfill her unrequited love.
Lieutenant Joey Galeno is a
seasoned NYPD street cop who has been working in counter-terrorism for many
years. Also a former partner of Bobby Moylan, Joey is desperately trying to
obtain solid details from an undercover operation he is running on the terror
FBI Special Agent Jimmy Boy Craig is the unlikely undercover agent who
Lt. Galeno is depending on to break open his case. Galeno, however, has no
faith in his undercover's ability to get the job done.
Can these four unlikely characters come together in facing their own personal last days, or will this be the last day for the island of Manhattan.
Against the backdrop of the 1995 merger of the NYC Transit and Housing Police Departments into the New York City Police Department, this is the story of a Transit Police Lieutenant who abruptly finds himself performing a job no cop wants to do; namely, investigating other cops. Complicating the situation is the fact that the Lieutenant has no prior investigative experience, but is thrust into command of a squad of seasoned NYPD investigators. The Lieutenant must deftly walk a tightrope of managing his squad while learning how to perform the wide range of investigations conducted by the Internal Affairs Bureau.
Police Officers are the modern day embodiment of medieval knights, going to work each day with a noble cause to protect and serve society. The profession requires cops to see people at their worst. They see death, tragedy, crime, and despair on a daily basis. The very nature of the tasks cops perform and the things cops see skews their sense of humor. Sometimes, a sense of humor is the only defense mechanism in a police officer's tool box. Stripped of the ability to laugh, or forced to be politically correct in a politically incorrect work environment can be hazardous to one's health. Coping becomes an essential component of a police officer's arsenal. One of the primary coping mechanisms utilized by cops is humor. A cop can find something funny about almost anything, regardless of how tragic the circumstances. Dark humor involves making light of a serious, disturbing or taboo subject matter. It is sometimes viewed as morbid, cruel, offensive, and graphic in nature and is yet, still found funny. This is the story of the author's twenty-year police career with the New York City Transit Police and NYPD as he worked with some of New York City's darkest knights - those cops who did and said the funniest things under the most difficult circumstances.
This is the story of one of the more fabled occupations in America - the railroad conductor. This book traces the origin of the railroad and the occupation as well as the conductor as a subject of folklore and the media. Additionally, the pathways to a career as a conductor are fully explored.
After a lifetime of experience in law enforcement / security (35 years), Robert Bryan shares tips and advice that could save your valuables, your home, even the lives of you and your loved ones. Find out what criminals are looking for - what signs they look for to decide who to target. Avoid portraying yourself as a target or as an easy mark. Get detailed insights into what makes a criminal pick someone as a target, and precise steps on how to make it obvious that you are not an easy mark.
This book contains fifty tried and tested tips that the author has cultivated during over thirty years of public speaking.
At one time or another, everyone is a public speaker. I'm not just talking about those individuals whose professional careers are heavily involved with speech making and presentations. I'm also talking about the best man giving a speech at a wedding, the coach giving a speech to his team, the PTA member giving a speech to parents, or the art instructor giving a presentation to students. Whatever the forum may be, everyone wants to nail their speech, and accomplishing this feat is no accident. This book will provide the tolls everyone needs to get up in front of any audience and really "nail it."
The author uses his forty years of
law enforcement and security experience to explain to the reader how to stay
safe in an unsafe world, through situation awareness of various environments,
including home, driving, walking, and commuting.
The book covers that vulnerable nature of the New York City Subway as it relates to attractiveness as a terrorist target. Additionally covered are the tactics utilized to combat this threat.

acknowledged and greatly appreciated.

"I am a 50 year old man who has been very active all my life. I have always played sports, done weight lifting, backpacking, mountain biking and martial arts.
I have had multiple interventions in my quest for relief of shoulder pain and low back pain. Those interventions included an orthopedic physician who injected my shoulder with steroids, multiple chiropractors, massage therapists, a year and a half of accupuncture and even carefully constructed traditional physical therapy. None of those interventions gave me the relief I needed. Pain is exhausting and I was tired.
I came to Ari 4 months ago needing help with only my intuition guiding me to his treatment table. I told him that it felt like my body was contracting in on itself! He said he uses a blend of many treatment modalities and asked only that I remain committed to regular bodywork sessions with him for maximum benefit.
Remarkably, because I did not believe it possible considering my condition and history, Ari has taken me farther in my flexibility than I ever expected. Even more remarkably, he has opened up the tightness in both my shoulder and low back and the total body heaviness and contraction I felt has been replaced with a lightness and ease which makes living in my body a joyful experience once again.
Ari has a terrific, confident and intuitive way of working around my body. I have yet to feel hesitation or doubt. He does what he needs to with a cool efficiency and clarity which goes a long ways toward making me feel comfortable and trusting.
I have worked in medicine for a long time and I know quality technique and practice of craft when I see it.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ari to anyone who wants to feel better in their body. I know now that I feel so much better in mine."
"Hey Ari, I just want to thank you for the advice you've given me while Im over here in Europe. My leg has gotten increasingly better. This time next year I plan on being just as flexible and strong in my flexibility as you. Thanks again man. Looking to do more."
Dominique Arnold
110 Meter Hurdler / Professional Athlete
"Ari deeply cares about each and every person he works with. I first met him when a seated massage person flaked out on me and I needed to find a replacement for an important event I was producing. I cold-called Ari and told him about my predicament. He said look no further for your wellness provider solution for any events. It's been a couple of years and I haven't looked any further because Ari delivers with quality, integrity and consistency every time. He's a man who has battled very adverse life circumstances and has overcome them and has become an expert in the process. He loves to share what he knows and he loves to help people. Do I recommend him? Let me put it this way. With Ari in your life, you are blessed. If he's doing it, it's because he believes in it. And you can bet if he's doing it, you're going to want to be a part of it too."
