Approved by the Cancer.Net Editorial Board, 01/2016
The concept that suffering can be a source of positive personal change has deep roots in many ancient thoughts and traditions. But scientific research trying to explain it is quite new. Studies show that after a traumatic event, reports of personal growth are more common than those of psychiatric disorders.
Some people may find, after enough time has passed, that living through or with cancer has helped them to make some positive changes in their lives. The positive life changes that develop as a result of a stressful, frightening experience are called "post-traumatic growth." Researchers note that post-traumatic growth is not the same as resilience. Resilience describes people "bouncing back" or returning to their previous levels of functioning. On the other hand, post-traumatic growth refers to positive personal change of some kind.
Types of personal growth
People may experience different types of change while coping with cancer, including:
- Improved relations with others. Living with cancer may increase feelings of closeness or intimacy with family or friends. It may make it easier to connect with others who have had a traumatic event.
- New life experiences. Having cancer may change your priorities, causing you to make different life choices. You may be motivated to make a career change, overcome a fear, or fulfill a life goal.
- A greater appreciation for life. A cancer survivor may have an increased regard for life's value or a new sense of vulnerability to death. This awareness may help you appreciate the world in new ways.
- A sense of personal strength. Living with cancer can help you develop increased mental strength and a sense of empowerment. You can be proud of what you have accomplished.
- Spiritual development. Some people living with cancer find they gain an increased interest in practicing religion or adding spiritual depth to their daily lives.
Having post-traumatic growth does not mean that you have completely overcome the stress and other feelings about having cancer. Growth and suffering can happen at the same time. In fact, most people who report post-traumatic growth also report having struggles. A person may grow in one area of their life and not another, or in a number of areas at different times.
Post-traumatic growth, like post-traumatic stress, is not universal. Research shows that some people are more likely than others to have this experience. Those who are generally open to new experiences and who sustain a mostly cheerful outlook may be more likely to benefit. It may also help to be able to handle trauma, have a strong support network, and be adaptable to life's challenges.
Encouraging personal growth
To foster personal growth in response to the challenges of living with cancer, consider the following:
- Reduce anxiety. Find ways to minimize your anxiety and tension, such as using relaxation techniques, exercising regularly, or talking with supportive friends.
- Reflect on your experience. Journaling or talking with a friend or family member are ways to process and make sense of a traumatic event.
- Restore a sense of safety. To feel safer, some people may need to talk with a mental health worker, such as a counselor. Others may find security by talking to a chaplain or spiritual advisor.
- Connect with others. Talking with a group of people who have had similar paths can help you look at your cancer journey in a new way. Learn more about support groups.
- Create a post-trauma life vision. Think through what you have learned from your experience. Then think about how to put a plan in place for living more fully.

Arduino and Breadboard Holder
We've been prototyping for a long time on these awesome little plastic plates but it's time for an upgrade. This version still holds an Arduino and a self-adhesive clear breadboard but we've done away with the plastic clips and now provide screws which give you a more solid and simple connection. Also, because the outside dimensions of the board don't matter anymore, this plate can be used with any board that has the Arduino mounting holes. The Arduino Mega R3, The Uno, The Leonardo, FEZ Panda even the Electric Sheep can all be screwed down to the base plate for easy prototyping. You can even mount the board facing either way you like.
This prototyping holder includes 2 screws for mounting your favorite dev board. The self-adhesive breadboard that fits this plate can be found in the related items below.

Seguin Gold vs. Pawn Shops
Here's one fact that makes us better than pawn shops, jewelry stores and other coin, silver and gold buyers...
We open EVERY day from 7am to 11pm. Some people with crazy schedules can only sell gold for cash early in the morning or late at night, that's when the lower paying gold buyers, pawn shops and jewelry stores are closed. Seguin Gold Silver and Coins offers emergency cash service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Here are more facts...
On 3/9/2010 we took the same gold jewelry brooch to pawn shops & jewelry stores in Seguin and New Braunfels (all on the same day).
We were offered a maximum cash payment of $140 and the lowest of $90 ALL for the EXACT same 10.4 grams - 18k gold brooch.
We at Seguin Gold would have paid $187.20 cash for the same EXACT jewelry piece! So, as you can see, WE PAY MORE than pawn shops and jewelry stores. We even pay MORE THAN DOUBLE than what some of them offer!
On January 11 2010 we took the same pieces of gold jewelry to different pawn shops & jewelry stores located in the Seguin and the New Braunfels areas; yet we were offered as little as $10.50 and as high as $21 for the exact same gold!
We were shocked... At SeguinGold.com the same pieces would have yielded about $56 each!

UFO "experts" reckon they've finally found the earliest recorded alien visitors to Earth, with drawings apparently showing the extra-terrestrial contact in 1801 in Hull, of all places.
According to drawings and newspaper reports from the time, a massive moon-like orb appeared over the town, bathing the streets in a weird blue light between midnight and 1am on June 19, 1801.
UFO spotters are now pointing to this bizarre phenomenon as evidence that aliens have been visiting our planet for centuries.
Quite why aliens would choose to visit Hull, of all places, doesn't appear to have crossed the mind of historian and author Mike Covell.
Speaking to the Express, Covell, 37, revealed how he'd been intrigued by shadowy references in 1950s literature to a UFO sighting in 1801 in the north-east of England. And, when he began to research the phenomenon, he was pretty stunned to discover that, not only were the reports true, but the sighting had occurred in his own city.
At the time, eye witnesses claimed they saw "an immense moon with a black bar across it" loom over the Humber from the south-west. The Northampton Mercury report from the time described how the object "seemed then to form itself into seven small distinct moons or globes of fire which disappeared for the space of a few seconds".
Covell added:
This looked more like a Death Star. It bathed the entire city in blue light, which must have been terrifying. No one at the time even dreamed there might be Little Green Men. So everyone was baffled and trying to figure out what it was.
Citizens must have been especially baffled considering nobody knew what a Death Star was at the time, since Star Wars wasn't going to be a thing for another 176 years.
Also, modern astronomers are fairly sure that the descriptions of the strange blue object in the sky would refer to the break up of a comet. But, hey, what would they know?

Just talking about "high-stakes testing" raises the stress level of most teachers. The idea of trying to summarize everything a student has learned into a single test is a terrifying proposal, particularly with students who are easily distracted, overwhelmed, or unengaged. Now that most testing programs are done through a computer, this adds a new level of complexity for students who may be unfamiliar with the format. In order to get the most accurate result possible, test prep programs help prepare students for these tests in a few simple ways.
Test prep programs have put a lot of research into the types of questions students will run into on high-stakes tests. By familiarizing students ahead of time with these types of questions, students won't run into the time-consuming process of learning how to use digital tools and manipulatives during the test itself. By practicing and learning how these tools and questions function ahead of time, students become more confident in their abilities and are able to show what they really know, which is the ultimate goal. Probably the most frustrating part of high-stakes testing is seeing students struggle because although they know the answer, they don't understand how to input it correctly.
Extended Response Practice
Long-form questions, where students explain their process or defend their answer, is becoming a large part of high-stakes testing. Although students practice basic concepts on a daily basis, the act of writing out their thought process is less common and less practiced. A good test prep program includes a variety of extended response questions, where students can practice transferring their knowledge into logical, sequential text. As an added benefit, this type of practice allows teachers to analyze whether students are truly understanding new concepts, or whether they have simply memorized the necessary steps.
Most high-stakes testing covers content over a long period of time, sometimes even years of learning. Practicing with a test prep program beforehand allows students to review the content and brush up on concepts they might have forgotten in the months since they last used it. By reviewing each student's scores, it's possible to revisit this content before the real deal. This type of analysis also highlights whether the classroom as a whole missed an important concept, and what would be beneficial to review.
Rather than leaving students to fend for themselves, creating a stressful environment where they are setup to fail, test prep programs give all students a fair chance to truly demonstrate their knowledge and abilities to the fullest.

Laptop bags can get pretty messy when you're loading them up for a lengthy trip. Lenovo's new ThinkPad Stack offers a slick, modular way to keep things neat and tidy.
The ThinkPad Stack line-up consists of four different mobile accessories. There's a 10,000mAh power bank, a 1TB USB 3.0 hard drive, a travel router (with support for USB data sticks), and a Bluetooth speaker. Nothing very unique so far, but it's not the pieces themselves that make the ThinkPad Stack interesting. It's the way they work together that sets them apart.
Each piece has a set of pogo pins and magnets that allow them to lock on to other pieces; they also allow both power and data to pass through. ThinkPad Stack accessories are all roughly the same size as an external 2.5-inch hard drive (the speaker is slightly thicker than the rest), so even a block of four won't occupy very much space in your bag — though it will add roughly two pounds.
You can't buy the ThinkPad Stack just yet; they're set to go on sale in April, and they won't come cheap. The power bank is the least expensive piece at $49. Comparable name-brand units sell for about half that. The Bluetooth speaker is priced at $89, while the router and 1TB hard drive go for $199 each.
You can do much better there, too — D-Link's AC750 Travel Router sells for about half that much and Seagate's 1TB Wi-Fi HDDs are about $60 cheaper. You're paying a decent premium for the ThinkPad pedigree and Stack modularity.

Two New Loop CDs from Perimeter Sound Arts
Brain Danse uses the Fizmo synth as the base for its loops. Every sound was affected and re-synthed until it had taken on a new form. Brain Danse is not a straight ahead techno loop CD by any means - it runs the audio gamut from some intense and deep bass lines, all the way up the frequency ladder to some other worldly animal-like and sirenish sounds, and hits most spots in-between with originality and textural as well as rhythmic finesse.
- 120 Bassy Loops
- 202 Melodic Loops
- 25 Rhythmic Loops
- 35 Other Loops
Abstract World Fusion combines World, Ambient, Experimental and Electronic sounds. Past meets future as a huge variety of Percussive, Melodic, and Atmospheric sounds are given modern audio treatment. The CD is an exploration of the exotic, providing an element of transcendent beauty and deep mood to any project.
Contents include:
- 130 Ambient Loops
- 124 Melodic Loops
- 210 Percussive Loops
Perimeter Sound Arts has announced the availability of Todd Milne's recently completed music theory book titled "Scales & Modes of World Music: A Scale-Mode-Chord Matrix". The Matrix contains interval recipes for 252 unique musical scales, the step pattern of each scale, modal relationships between the scales, and all available modal chord tones for each step of every scale. The book also includes an Index of Traditional Scale Names and a Microtonal reference. Intended for all instruments - including guitar fretboard maps.

Hi Vasantha,
It seemed that you have no an existing remote SMTP server. If so, you should switch to using a local SMTP service. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159155.aspx for more information about this. Read and follow http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345234.aspx for how to configure a local SMTP for the report server.
Hope this helpfully,
Dear Jerry,
Thanks for u r valuable Reply.I am tried different combinations using remote SMTP as well as local SMTP services. But i could not get expected results but i have alittle improvement that ie now the emails can reaches to rediffmail and gmail accounts with some late comming mails but yahoo account are not received the mails. (Note: Firewalls are disbled)
pls give any sugessions.

Hi Vasantha,
I am facing ____ lot of issues in SSRS mailing functionality. Can you please explain me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
my questions are
- does the service acc or execution acc has anything to do?
- i faced two errors "email address is not valid" for the send email
- eror is "access denied" for the save to pickup directory
i am in big trouble.
please help me.
thnx in advance....
Hopefully this will get to you now that it is about a year later. SSRS on SQL05 sends out email to many people in our company and has been doing that for at least a year and very successfully. All of a sudden on 6/29/2011 all emails are going to the recipents Junk folder in their Outlook. My network admin people say nothing has been changed on the servers. All the mail currently is on the same network as the email and SQL server.
I was told this was not the correct forum for this kind of a problem but I see it at least used to be.

"An Inconvenient Book" by Glenn Beck in a lot of ways sums up what is wrong with the Conservative moment. It is filled with claims that use zero economics, when in fact economics should be their friend. Glenn Beck, who has become very popular among both Conservatives and Libertarians, has done a good job on his show in supporting the free-market and bashing Obama. But after reading this book I wonder what the Glenn Beck show would look like with a Republican held White House and/or Congress.
The book is written very well in that it reaches out to all types of readers and in a lot of ways makes you laugh. It has some of the best info graphics I have ever seen in a mass market book. So as far as the words and pictures, it is a great book. But the content fall short.
A few parts of Mr. Beck book has caused me to write two separate posts on tipping and on running out of oil. I will not dwell on these subjects but I urge you to read them if you think that this review fall short on criticizing content.
The very first chapter on Global Warming was very good and uses good non crazy arguments against the Global Warming advocates. But soon after that he goes into topics in which most people who buy his book. Chapters on Marriage, Porn, Body Image, Renting Movies (not kidding) and Blind Dating are pointless and useless. I know that often time we pretend that pundits are experts on politics, but that does not stretch into other areas that are more personal.
His chapters on the Minimum Wage, Opinion Polls, and Poverty are much more productive and provocative. But many of the time his solutions fell short. Take illegal immigration, which is the chapter he decides to end his book on. This probably means that he thinks very highly on the subject and that he wanted to leaving a lasting impression so it should be the best written.
First, he plays in this paranoia of a super corporate group has control over the United States government and keeps the border from being secure. And his solutions are to build two fences and hit the employers hard. Besides the fact that a Conservative is making an argument FOR government, the two ideas are just moronic.
The fence is very expensive as he wants "double layers of fencing with road in between for patrols, concrete vehicle barriers, surveillance cameras, and tunneling sensors." He says it would be $20 billion. First, if this is a government estimate you can trust it is wrong. Also what about the maintainance of this. And really if people really want to get into America, is this going to be effective?
Sidenote: Glenn, when you want to compare figures for people do not use "how much 9/11 cost the City of New York." First, it wasn't on purpose. Second, it was a terrorist attack.
Next, he wants to hit the employers. I guess he is already assuming that his fences will not work and he is a Conservative against small businesses. All small business are trying to do one thing: survive. Glenn Beck must not think that there is going to be any red-tape involved on already small struggling business.
And let's think about the reason why businesses hire illegals, part could be minimum wage but mainly it is because they are hard works and can outwork some of us "non-mexicans." And consider the costs. The business owner is choosing someone who they have a hard time communicating with over "non-mexicans." That means we Americans are very inefficient workers. So wake up, you cannot be pro-free trade and anti-illegal labor force.
So overall this book is not worth reading or buying. It was a huge let down and it made me think a lot less of Mr. Beck.
Rating: 1/5

Teachers are one of the most gifted individuals who have the mission to educate people enough to make tremendously talented nations out of them. It is important to respect this profession, and to respect those individuals, who make all the effort to ensure that students are taught without any sort of discrimination as well as ensure that they all excel in their fields, interests and disciplines. It might surprise you that as much as a student hates to fail an exam or a course, the teachers also hate failing their students as well.
Teachers may seem to teach almost everything they know, however occasionally they do not stress upon some basic things. They, expect students to understand, and work on them as per their own interest and commitment or willingness to learn. We will talk about such common writing advices, which teachers often do not stress upon:
- Frequent writing- It is as obvious as it sounds, good writing will not come with occasionally writing a Christmas card, or a summer story. Frequent writing, and writing everything you possibly can think of, will eventually lead you to become a good writer. What students do is they begin to start polishing their skills when they move on to final paper writing, which is not recommended, as immature and poor writing skills will lead to a bad paper and overall a poor grade.
- Doing the basics right: While teachers might stress upon the fact, that you should sound highly intellectual and intelligent by using some amazing vocabulary, it is also important to note that writing and doing the basics right, is the first step to become a great writer. Without your basic knowledge of the language, having a good vocabulary is useless.
- Be brave and explore: Often teachers, in order to reinforce impactful learning focus too much on conventional approach and methods to write. Students can find a better opportunity to improve if they explore more, are brave with their writing and allow themselves to complete express, through emotions and personal writing, the two elements can be a great boost to your writing.
- Learning academic writing through external sources: Classrooms, might seem everything for you, however, if you explore and move one step ahead while trying to find resources in order to help you develop skillful writing, it can have some really positive consequences on your writing.

Parents upset that Notre Dame did not call about illnesses during sports camp
Posted: Jun 27, 2012 8:36 PM EST | Updated: Nov 6, 2014 2:38 AM EST
NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Some parents said that the university e-mail just wasn't enough to let them know about the more than 100 kids who were stricken by a gastrointestinal illness during Notre Dame's summer sports camps for teens.
ABC 57 News spoke to one man who said he learned of the outbreak when his son sent him a text message from the hospital.
Jim Bruen, the upset parent, said he expected more from Notre Dame.
He told us he spent $500 for his 14-year-old to go to camp and spend the night.
He thinks someone should have called him at the very least.
ABC 57's Ashley Izbicki reports.

[First published January 7, 2005] We have all heard the argument regarding Iraq, Afghanistan, the war on terror, and interventions in such civil war and democides as those in Liberia, Congo, Angola, Sudan, or Somalia, that they should be a matter for the international community. Indeed, the refrain that the international community and its surrogate the United Nations should be involved or consulted is a common mantra concerning such conflicts.
The word "international community" is one of those conceptual perversions that corrupt thought. It is a word suffused with vibrant feeling and moral equalitarianism, as in the term internationalist. It connotes the opposite of nationalism and a "self-centered focus on the nation, a cause of war and disharmony among nations." Most important, it also involves a deeply resonating positive–opening one's arms to all cultures, all cultures, and all beliefs are good. It implies certain questions: who are we of one nation to say that something is evil, morally repugnant? Who are we to make war "unilaterally"? And it implies an answer: we should recognize that we must come to a consensus with all of humanity, despite our different views, if we will have world peace and harmony. The word has become in most discourse on world events the equivalent of "apple pie" and "motherhood."
Look at the claim that we should have involved the international community in the Iraq war, or in the postwar reconstruction, or in the trial of Saddam Hussein. How mentally blinding this concept of international community is can be shown by asking a simple question. Who makes up this community?
There are 192 legally sovereign nations that make up this "community," of which about 89 are liberal democracies, many small and hardly internationally active. There are 55 partly free nations that allow some human rights, and 48 nations that systematically deny virtually human rights.
Does anyone interested in democracy, in creating a democratic Iraq, really want the bloody masters of China, Congo, Angola, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Laos, Libya, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Vietnam, among the other 48 strict dictatorships poking their noses into the democratization of Iraq. After all, their masters are generally thugs commanding a gang that rules a nation by fear. They are all international criminals. They rule, as does the Mafia. Yet, they are a substantially and legally part of what is called the "international community," despite international law being nothing more to them than what secures their rule, or of which they can take advantage. If those using this term "international community" really don't want to include them, then they should qualify the term by something like "democracies," or "democratic nations," or "democratic community," which incidentally, is a true community.

Complementary and alternative therapies for advanced cancer
You may wonder whether there are any complementary and alternative therapies you could try. You may want help managing different symptoms and side effects, or a treatment for the cancer.
You may want to feel that you've tried every available option and have some control over your treatment.
Learn more about these therapies:
Listen to our podcast on Making Treatment Decisions
Complementary therapies
Complementary therapies can be used in combination with conventional medicine, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Therapies include acupuncture, massage, hypnotherapy, nutrition and relaxation. These may help you cope better with side effects and feel as well as possible.
In clinical trials, some therapies have been shown to be helpful for managing the various emotional and physical effects of cancer and its treatment.
Examples include:
- anxiety – meditation, relaxation, counselling, support groups, art therapy, music therapy, massage, hypnotherapy
- fatigue – meditation, relaxation
- pain – hypnotherapy
- stress – meditation, relaxation, counselling, support groups, spiritual practices
- nausea and vomiting – acupuncture, hypnotherapy.
While some cancer treatment centres and palliative care units offer complementary therapies as part of their services (e.g. art therapy, massage or meditation), you may have to see a private practitioner. If you go to a private practitioner and have private health insurance, check if your health fund provides a rebate.
Most complementary therapies cost money, but some community centres offer group therapies, such as tai chi or yoga, for free or a small charge. Call 13 11 20 for a copy of Understanding Complementary Therapies, or download a digital copy from this page.
|Let your doctor know if you plan to use any other therapies. This is important, as some therapies may not be appropriate, depending on your conventional treatment or what is happening in your body. For example, some herbs and nutritional supplements may interact with your medication, resulting in harmful side effects.
Alternative therapies
Alternative therapies are commonly defined as those treatments used instead of conventional medicine. Many alternative therapies claim to stop cancer growing and to cure the disease, but they are not scientifically tested or proven to be effective.
When cancer has spread and treatment options are limited, some people consider alternative therapies. However, alternative therapies can be harmful – for example, taking high-dose vitamins can have side effects, and eliminating food groups could mean that your diet no longer provides all the nutrients you need. Some therapies may also be costly.
Be wary if any treatment:
- claims to cure all cancers
- requires you to travel overseas
- claims the medical/pharmaceutical industry wants to stop its use
- claims to have positive results with few or no side effects.
Information on alternative therapies may be misleading. It can come from many sources, such as the internet. Friends and family may also tell you about alternative treatments. Look for information from reliable sources such as Cancer Council or government websites, ask questions, and check a practitioner's qualifications.

It cannot be said often enough, menopause, and the consequences of ensuing estrogen deficiency affect EVERY woman.
Yet why, in the 21st century, do we still find it difficult to discuss, surround it with embarrassed laughter, and speak in hushed tones? What is so bad about openly discussing a physiological process which is simply a hormone deficiency, the consequences of which have now a much greater effect on our health than ever before, because we are living longer, so we are experiencing the consequences for more years than any previous generation?
I do get the feeling that more people now are wanting to talk about it, wanting to find out more information, but it doesn't come easily. A recent taxi journey during a trip to Dublin highlights the issues: when asked why I was in Dublin, I replied that I was speaking at the Irish Menopause Society annual conference. The response was hilarious—"Holy Mother of Jesus, my wife has been through the menopause 3 times!!" There then followed an enlightening discussion about her symptoms, which were severe, but there was frustration that she did not feel that she could visit her doctor, or indeed talk to anyone about this highly embarrassing subject. A Menopause Matters magazine was duly produced from my bag and given to pass on, in the hope that the information would be helpful!
Perhaps it's the word "Menopause" which is so highly charged with associations with negativity, periods, female hormones? Whatever the reason, this needs to change. In the absence so far of an internationally accepted alternative word to describe the transition that all women experience, let's just all do what we can to help others be open, informative and supportive.

Menopause is Everywhere
3 comments:
Holy Mother of Jesus! Great article. Menopause & perimenopause are complicated enough, let alone the fact that the word itself sucks. The M Word definitely needs a makeover. Thanks for helping to shift the conversation!ReplyDelete
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
Can anyone tell me why research does not endeavour to switch menipause off? why should women suffer unwanted menopause just because our culture calls it "natural" and why are quack remedies allowed. The claims made by alternative remedies are absurd not to menntion the cost of the stuff.ReplyDelete

Winter Basic Thai Massage course with Till
26th December 2019 – 6th January 2020
New Year's is to many of us a symbol of beginning something fresh, with good intentions and wishes. In the Winter season, time slows down and our focus goes towards our center, more inwards. With our Thai Yoga massage Basic Course, it is very similar. It has the capacity to transform your life, to enrich the qualities that are serving you and to get rid of old habits, which are holding you back from exploring the beauty within.
Dive deep into the universe of static-dynamic Thai Yoga Massage. Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art that touches and balances the body physically, energetically and emotionally. With the application of rhythmic pressure on certain points and energy lines in the body combined with the yogic stretching of muscles and joint manipulation, blockages can be released and the energy restored to its natural flow. Above all, Thai Massage is a sacred, loving healing dance, where two people come together to heal and be healed for the benefit of all living beings.
The class is inspired by the Dhamma (the teaching of the Buddha) and by the instruction of two Thai Massage masters Chayuth (dynamic, rhythmic, like a dance) and Pichet (static, deep, focusing the importance of feeling) both Masters from Northern Thailand. The course is also inspired by the teachings of Asokananda and the beautiful combination of YOGA, THAI MASSAGE, VIPASSANA and METTA (loving kindness). True Thai Massage cannot exist without this melting pot of healing ingredients.
Our main focus on this course is to HEAL OURSELVES on the path to helping others heal. We call on a variety of techniques (Yogic, Taoist, Sufi) to help connect to our deeper, higher selves in order to ignite the spiritual healing flame.
The course offers a PRACTICAL TRAINING on the Art of Traditional Thai Yoga Massage. We travel, day by day, from the feet to the head with daily demonstrations, theory and practice time. To learn and understand the teaching of Thai Yoga Massage in an easy way, we provide an instruction manual. Our courses usually have many assistants to help and support the learning process, who bring colors and diversity to the practice.
This course is not only about technical know-how. We will create a space to nurture body and soul, to relax, to play to feel and to be yourself… to enjoy and celebrate love and Metta – the essence of Thai Yoga Massage!
Open level! Open mind! Open heart!
The course is open for complete beginners, repeaters and advanced students, as well as bodyworkers of other therapies. Come, share & enjoy!
After the course, students will receive a certificate of attendance from the International Society of Thai Yoga Massage (Sunshine Network).
Teaching language: English
Till Heeg
Till has been infected by the positive vibrations of Thai Yoga Massage since 2002. In this year he found his way for the first time to the "Lahu Village" in northern Thailand, where he participated in his first Beginner's Course for 12 days with Itzhak Helman. You could say, this was something like a light-bulb-moment. For him, it was not enough what he could learn at Physiotherapy School, which he finished in 2001. To work only on the physical body– with all the emphasis on anatomy, physiology and disease in the minutest details – is for Till working on the surface. With the sacred dance of Thai Massage, he found something so much deeper. Since that beginning, his journey has taken him a few more times back to Thailand, India and Greece. Till feels blessed for the opportunities to learn with and from so many great teachers. He wants to thank in particular KrishnaTaki Oikonomou, who is much more than only a "Teacher" for Till. Of course, there is a deep Thankfulness for all the other teachers, friends and family. On the path of "healing within", he continues to explore and work in many different fields, including Self-Knowledge, Vipassana Meditation, Nutrition, Yoga…
Till is an authorized teacher of the Sunshine Network Thai Massage School and is renowned for his lovely and kind being, his soft touch and deep trust in life.

Time change today. Community Services put up signs all through Lloyd Hall, reminding us to turn our clocks back on Saturday night. And I did. And I was up far too early, realizing with no small amount of horror that I'd have to wait an hour for breakfast. Horror. It was truly horrible.
Last night? I went to a talk by Wade Davis called 'Into the Silence.' It's about the Mallory's trip to Everest, but it's not a travel book…more a book discussing the motivations and the personalities of the men who went, and the impact the First World War had on them.
As for today…well, writing. A walk around town, and a trip to the library when I got back. Time spent at the desk I've set up for myself.
It's quite fantastic. The day went well. I'm easing into revisions on the novel, and I'm discovering that revising the first draft is actually quite a bit harder than writing the first draft. I met another writer at lunch, and then had dinner with Suzanne Steele, who is quite fabulous and very interesting. We'd been talking about the writer's lounge on the third floor, and how we didn't have the code for it (there's one of those old-school punch code locks on the door). After dinner, we went down and tried combinations until we hit on the one that got us in, scooted inside, squealed, and used the printer.
We writers know how to have a good time.

You may be surprised to learn that some common household items pollute the air you breath, including: pollen and spores, human skin flakes, candle soot, infiltrating dust, viruses, bacteria, and fungi, pet dander, tobacco or wood smoke, cooking smoke and airborne grease, radon gas, chemical fumes and volatile organic compounds. Every cubic foot of air you breath carries a mixture of millions of such airborne particles. Although larger particles are more visible and catch attention more easily, the smallest of these particles are of greatest concern for indoor air quality. Viruses, bacteria, smoke and grease are amongst the smallest and can be most damaging to the home and the individuals who live there.
Consumer demand for air cleaners has been on the rise in recent years according to the EPA. Air conditioning filtration efficiency depends on the type of air cleaner used, and the type, number and size of the particles in the air stream. It varies from as little as 3% for ordinary throw-away fiberglass filters, to up to 99.9% for HEPA filters.
Basic Filters come standard with most HVAC systems. These filters protect the furnace from bulk dust that can clog equipment before the warranty runs out; they do little to clean the air of smaller particles.
High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters use deeply folded media to trap a minimum of 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles passing through the filter. HEPA filters come in portable, bypass ducted and stand-alone configurations. Beware of manufacturers who use terms like "HEPA-style" or "HEPA-like" filters. Many manufacturers offer HEPA-style filters, but they may only be HEPA at initial efficiencies or by circulatiing air through the filter numberous times.
Electronic Air Cleaners, which electrically charge and collect airborne particles on a collection grid. Many electronic air cleaners capture up to 100% of airborne particles passing through the product.

This is a great album, but I would wish for a cople of more tracks to call it a full-legth album. But, the five tracks on this record is great and that should count.
A really nice artwork made by Mattias Frisk and over all a nice package for this vinyl. Great sound and music.

Norbert the Bear CD-Rom has been developed especially for children aged 4 - 7 (Early Years and Key Stage 1). It can be used to teach French to beginners, or can be used in English to introduce the concept of dual nationality and as an introduction to French culture.
Really lovely stories, pitched appropriately for the target age range (KS1 but would be OK for nursery too). It's a nice combination of culture and language. Our children loved the stories and we have the 'Norbert' bear for the classroom too!
Really, really disappointing product. It's just a dull powerpoint, not a 'book' at all. Poor quality, unsuitable vocabulary for the target age.I could have made this myself.

House Passes Firefighter Cancer Registry Act
September 14, 2017
On September 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 931, the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act, by a voice vote. H.R. 931 directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and maintain a voluntary registry of firefighters to collect relevant history and occupational information that can be linked to available cancer registry data in existing state cancer registries. Representatives Chris Collins (R-NY) and Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), who introduced H.R. 931 earlier this year, spoke on the House floor before the vote to urge their colleagues to pass the bill.
"I'd like to thank Representatives Collins, Pascrell, and the entire House of Representatives for voting to move this critical legislation forward," said National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) Chair Kevin D. Quinn. "Too many firefighters are contracting and dying from cancer caused by duty-related exposures. This registry will improve our understanding of why firefighter cancer is occurring at such a high rate, and make it easier to prevent, detect, and treat."
For years studies have indicated a strong link between firefighting and increased risk for several major cancers. An extensive study published by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in 2014 found that firefighters were at an increased risk of being diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma and found potential links between exposure to fire incidents and heightened risks for lung cancer and leukemia, among several others.
Past studies examining cancer incidence among firefighters have been limited by relatively small sample sizes and an underrepresentation of minority, female, and volunteer firefighters. The registry that would be created under H.R. 931 would give researchers and public health agencies access to information about a much larger and more diverse group of firefighters, including volunteers.
H.R. 931 now goes to the U.S. Senate. Identical legislation (S. 382) was introduced in the Senate by Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and 11 other original cosponsors on February 15.

The Red Ink State
In the campaign to save California governor Gray Davis's job, no one bothers to defend the Davis record, not even Davis. Instead, in the September 24 gubernatorial debate, the lone Democrat Cruz Bustamante conspicuously distanced himself from Davis's policies, treating the governor like a political leper. California Democrats, by their silence, appear to concede that the prosecution has an ironclad case against him.
Does it ever. The total of high-paying manufacturing jobs lost on Davis's watch now exceeds a quarter million. These jobs and the businesses that created them weren't all victims of a business-cycle recession. No, Davis and the legislature have been energetically elbowing employers out of the state. In the last five years Davis has signed into law roughly two dozen business-hostile regulations and mandates -- from anti-global warming measures, to paid family leave requirements, to smoking bans in restaurants and bars. Even now -- in an economic crisis labeled California's worst since the Great Depression, with an unemployment rate above the national average -- Davis and the Democratic legislature still treat businesses like ATM machines to pay for do-good social welfare.
Take the new bill passed by the legislature requiring small businesses with 50 employees to pay for health insurance for their workers. Davis is expected to sign this into law any day now. The Wall Street Journal estimates this will push $5.7 billion in new costs onto the backs of employers.
The question is: What employers? The joke on the left coast is that only three businesses will have to pay up -- the last three businesses still operating in the state. Davis's high tax, obese-welfare, anti-business, pro-trial lawyer policies (California has the highest workers' compensation insurance premiums in the nation) have led to the first significant exodus of businesses and high-wealth individuals from the Pacific Coast in the state's history.
Californians are also paying a hefty price for Davis's bungling of the infamous electricity blackout fiasco of 2000 and 2001. Davis could have solved the crisis in short order through the free market pricing system. Instead, he used government intervention to lock the state into long-term energy contracts. These contracts will require homeowners to pay an estimated $24 billion in utility bills above market rates over the next decade. Enron didn't do this; Gray Davis did.
But, of course, nothing can compare with Davis's ineptitude in handling the budget crisis. In five years, he has somehow converted a $12 billion budget surplus into a $38 billion deficit. In 1998 California had the largest surplus of any state in the nation. Today, California's deficit is larger than the deficits of the other 49 states combined. As the state's chief financial officer, Davis has allowed the debt rating of the state to be downgraded three times in three years; its status is now just marginally above that of junk bonds.
All of this grim news has been fairly well documented. But what is not well known is the hideous depth of this fiscal swamp. I have just returned from Sacramento, where I spent several days combing through the financial numbers, and I am convinced that, as angry and nervous as Californians are, they don't know the half of it. The Democratic line is that the worst of the budget disaster is behind California. Hardly. This state is a lot closer to an Argentina-style financial meltdown than a balanced budget. Every day that the Gray Davis-Cruz Bustamante administration stays in power, the state plunges another $20 million in debt.
In this year's budget process, Davis resorted to bookkeeping chicanery so fanciful it would have made a WorldCom accountant blush. Instead of balancing the budget, as is conventionally defined and required by the state constitution, Davis borrowed $10.7 billion and then declared the cash inflow "revenues" to put the budget in balance. This loan came on top of the $50 billion in outstanding state and local bonds California is already carrying on its books. John Cogan of the Hoover Institution, a leading expert on the California state budget, grimly notes that "Davis is the first governor in California history to eviscerate the balanced budget requirement by issuing billions of dollars of debt without a vote of the people." Then he adds: "This may also be the first time a state has ever balanced its budget by borrowing."
These billions of dollars in five-year bonds make balancing the budget in 2004 and 2005 an even more Herculean task. Even if the general fund budget were held constant for the next three years (an improbable scenario given that it grew 28 percent in Davis's first three years), expenditures and receipts would likely remain out of balance because of the massive payments the state now has to make to service its debt. The next governor, whether Republican or Democrat, will almost certainly have to beg for more dollars from the credit markets (that is, issue more debt) to pay off the existing debt. Joel Fox of the Howard Jarvis Foundation warns that this gambit means Californians could be paying for Gray Davis's "overspending for not years, but decades to come." It's not unlikely: Tax-weary New Yorkers are still paying off bonds from the infamous debt crisis that erupted in the mid-'70s under Mayor Lindsey.
What is most unsettling about the dismal state of California's finances is that no one in charge seems to have any clue how to stem the tide of red ink. Lieutenant Governor Bustamante has declared that, if elected governor, he will immediately raise taxes on the rich and on corporations to balance the budget. Even many liberals in the state groaned in response to this economic delusion. With a 9 percent income tax on the rich, California already has the third highest such tax rate in the country, with about one-third of all the taxes paid by the wealthiest 1 percent of Californians. Another reason Bustamante's plan stinks is that the last time income tax rates were raised -- under Republican governor Pete Wilson -- the state actually lost revenue because the rich fled to places like Nevada, Texas, and Washington that impose no income tax at all.
An even bigger fantasy is the Democrats' latest party line that the recall is causing the budget debacle, not the other way around. State treasurer Phil Angelides recently fumed that: "I don't think there's any doubt that the recall has been part of the mix that brought down the state's credit rating." Angelides continued: "These credit ratings aren't a reflection of our economy but rather of the political paralysis, and the recall is another manifestation of the political paralysis."
Credit ratings aren't a reflection of the economy? How perfect. In the Davis administration, not even the treasurer seems to understand the basic rules of fiscal accountability -- or to realize that gross mismanagement is the reason California is now burdened with an astronomical deficit.

We decided for our 5th year wedding anniversary, to do a 'big to do' trip. Something romantic and FAR FAR away from here! We flew to Vermont for the weekend (plus a couple days. . .mostly at the airports) to a Bed & Breakfast in Stowe, Vermont. WOW! It was a breath-taking, beautiful Inn with delicious foods and a gorgeous view out our bedroom window. We really enjoyed our selves. We also knew that this would probably be the last big trip for us, just the two of us, for a while. . .with he new baby on it's way soon! We LOVED this trip and know that we'll remember this for a lifetime!
