Can Tomatis Help with Depression in Children?
Does Your Child Struggle with Depression? First what is Depression?
Depression is a disorder with many faces and a host of symptoms, many of which overlap other conditions. Treatment of depression can be pharmaceutical or psychotherapeutic and the choice of therapies is often based on the wants of the patient coupled with the recommendations of a doctor. For children, it is often up to the parents to decide on the best approach.
If you are like many parents and do not want to consider medicating your child as a first resort to treatment, you might want to consider an alternate method called TOMATIS® Sound Therapy.
What is TOMATIS®?
TOMATIS® was developed and introduced approximately 50 years ago by Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis. It is centred on the theory that a person's ability to process sound – to listen properly to all the sounds around them – has a direct correlation to how the brain processes other signals. It is therefore possible to treat certain emotional and mental disorders without drugs by simply re-teaching the brain fundamental processes all people learn in utero.
Hearing and Depression
When one thinks of the ear, it is oft regarded as simply an instrument of hearing. This is its most obvious and base function, but it does more than that. The ears are responsible for sending signals to the brain and they are responsible for helping us maintain good balance (staying on our feet). Moreover, our ears act as a catalyst for recharging the brain. When that doesn't happen, or when it doesn't happen properly, the result could be, and often is, depression.
Dr. Tomatis refers to high audio frequencies as "charging sounds." The average person who receives a steady stream of activation tends to be more focused and alert. They do not tend to become depressed. People whose ears do not voluntarily pick up on these "charging sounds" fail to "recharge" at necessary intervals, which leads to depression.
Low frequencies, in contrast, actually deplete energy; they slow things down to the point where a person can feel unmotivated, lethargic and depressed. Since the ears process low frequencies much easier than high ones, people who do not get enough high frequency stimulation to balance out the low frequencies are far more disposed to being depressed.
The Dual Advantage of TOMATIS® for Depression
The TOMATIS® Sound Therapy method not only exercises the ears, but also works with the body on an emotional level. Emotional blocks can effectively stifle an individual's ability to listen. These blocks can form when a person is very young and go undetected for years. The good news is that a perceptive parent can often recognise depression symptoms in his or her child early on and seek necessary intervention.
For emotional disorders, TOMATIS® employs specific types of music paired with customised frequency fluctuations to illicit both a physical and an emotional response from the listener. The benefits of this kind of therapy often outweigh or, at a minimum, compliment the effects of medication or other therapies and produce long-term results.

Studio One offers many quantization options. But these options are always global (there is only one set of current settings) and not available as clip parameters / per clip. Q-Settings are not easily changable afterwards once applied. You always have to setup quantization presets and "apply" them in order to use them and the q-settings are not remembered per clip so that you could change one of the q-parameters easily for fine-tuning. Selecting clip A after changing the q-settings for clip B will still have the settings for B active as these settings are a singleton.
So what I am suggesting here are the following changes:
This behavior would be much easier to handle than the current "apply" / global q-settings approach and would indeed be much more logical because each clip has its own non-destructive q-settings.
Please have a look at this request, too:
Thanks :)
Yeah I agree that having a control which adjusts the strenght / weight of quantization in a linear fashion (0%..100%) would be very nice indeed! I did not mention this in my post but will add it now ;) Thanks.
It's not the same as on / off however which would still be handy to have (to quickly disable q-settings temporary).

Sunday September 25th, 2011
Posted by experiencelifeinfrance on September 25, 2011 · Leave a Comment
What a better way to spend Sunday than relaxing at home in your PJ's? It's important to do it from time and time; and today was the day. Even though we had plans to continue our tourism in the region, but waking up late didn't really help it. So we decided to just stay home.
In the afternoon since it was really nice outside, we thought that it will be a shame to stay in, so we went for a walk in the park next to us, "Parc Barbieux". It's one of the biggest and oldest parks in the region. Again 1 hour was retrieved from our life. People do yoga to relax, they should just come and sit in a park and look at trees; I'm sure the effect is much better 😛 I took some pictures while there.
I should've taken pictures of the dogs in the park. I don't know if I talked about this before, but French dogs are really something. They don't bark and don't go around sniffing everybody; all they do is walk in line next to their master and poop. Very polite dogs, so much different from Lebanese dogs. I think it's all coming from the way people behave regarding them. In Lebanon dogs are "social means", people get them only to use them to get dates, or to go hunting, or whatever. They don't like them and treat them like they do here; in here a dog (or any other pet) is like a member of the family, so just like you raise your kids, you raise your dogs, and they grow up to be well-mannered just like their kids are (sometimes even better). So if you don't like dogs (like me), don't worry when you see one on the street; it's not going to come to you, so you can continue to walk normally next to it.
After the walk we came back home and enjoyed the nice fruit salad made from fresh fruits bought yesterday from the market 🙂
See you tomorrow!

National Friendship Day
Event Details
Join the event to promote friendship and fellowship.
International Friendship Day was created to promote friendship and fellowship among all human beings, regardless of their race, color or religion.
Get in contact with your friends for a chat or visit. Post on social media using #NationalFriendshipDay to encourage others to join in paying it forward.
National Friendship Day was originally founded by Hallmark in 1919. It was intended to be a day for people to celebrate their friendship by sending each other cards, but by 1940 the market had dried up, and eventually, it died out completely. However, in 1998 Winnie the Pooh was named the world's Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations, and in April 2011 the United Nations officially recognized 30th July as International Friendship Day; although most countries celebrate on the first Sunday of August!
Thank you National Day Calendar for the information

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — At the State Capitol, supporters say breakfast after the bell would improve grades and the school day.
The bipartisan legislation would make it easier for kids to get breakfast at school.
An anti-hunger organization ranks Minnesota 31st in the country for providing breakfast to students. On Thursday, supporters said the money is there for the asking.
"An important part of this bill is to utilize national funds, no longer leave $12 million on the table, bring that to Minnesota and use that to feed our kids," Hunger Solutions' Colleen Moriarty said.
The groups say one in eight Minnesota children experience hunger on any given day. That figure includes college students, who often need financial assistance after paying for tuition, rent and books.

In a rapidly evolving global economy, Canada has achieved an enviable record of innovation and accomplishment, yet faces increasing competition for international markets and investment.
To succeed in this environment, Canada must continue to develop and to market leading-edge technologies. The effective utilization of technology is a vital component in obtaining a competitive economic advantage.
As a result of the Canadian Forest Service's (CFS) research work, intellectual property (IP) is created. This IP may be created by the CFS alone or in collaboration with various academic, industry or provincial stakeholders. Although various federal government programs encourage the development of IP, there is an ongoing need to ensure the fullest possible utilization of this property through its transfer to Canadian industry.
IP is an asset of tangible value, and as such is of significant importance to the CFS. As with any other major asset, IP must be carefully managed. The effective control and exploitation of IP are essential elements in the fulfillment of the CFS mandate and the commitment to help Canada increase and maintain its competitive edge.
With the following technology, CFS is looking for partnerships, collaborations and/or licencees to further their development or application.
For assistance with technology transfer and IP issues in the Canadian Forest Service, please contact Kathryn Buchanan.
Biocontrol method for reedgrass
This method, based on the discovery of microbes that can suppress the growth of marsh reedgrass (Calamagrostis canadensis) is available for commercialization. The method involves the inundative use of endemic (native) pathogens to suppress reedgrass in reforestation areas, allowing conifers to reach the "free-to-grow"stage by reducing competition and snow press caused by the grass.
Main use
- Regeneration of boreal forests.
- Grass control along irrigation canals, roadsides, etc.
- Spin-off technology applicable to control of other grass weeds.
- Spin-off technology applicable to straw degradation/removal.
Main advantage
- Can be used in situations where chemical herbicides are not desired.
- Environmentally safe.
- Effective in high-straw areas where chemicals perform poorly.
- Does not injure the tree crop, as herbicides sometimes do.
Technology transfer strategy
The "Know-How" for this technology is availabe. Licensing is available internationally.
Patent information
- Canadian patent is pending

Drift-free pesticide atomizer
This new spray technology provides sprays without a small drop component, allowing essentially drift-free pesticide applications either from the air or the ground thus avoiding environmental side-effects and product waste.
Main use
Pesticides are widely used in agriculture, forestry and right-of-way management. However, the users and the public are concerned about the side-effects of pesticide use, and one area of concern is spray drift from ground-based and aerial pesticide spray applications. This occurs when part of the spray cloud is carried by the wind to locations outside the pesticide treatment area, where it can cause unwanted environmental impact. This problem is largely caused by the presence of small drops in the spray cloud. Various means have been devised to control spray drift including the development of new atomizers and tank-mix additives designed to reduce the small drop component. To date these efforts have met with partial success, and there is still a need for an atomization device that provides better control of the small drop fraction of the cloud, to reduce or eliminate off-target deposit from ground-based and aerial pesticide applications. The novel atomizer technology developed at CFS Sault Ste. Marie provides sprays without a small drop component, allowing essentially drift-free pesticide applications either from the air or the ground.
Main advantages
- More environmentally friendly pesticide applications, with reduced environmental impact
- Increased pesticide application efficiency, by reducing the amount of active ingredient wasted through spray drift
- Suitable for use in agricultural, forestry or right-of-way pesticide applications, from the air or ground
- Compatible with existing boom and nozzle dispersal systems
- Applicable to other industrial processes for small drop control
Technology transfer strategy
This technology is available for license Worldwide.

For Chemistry and Physics students there is an option to complete an online Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course followed by a two week Summer School in June to enhance practical laboratory skills. There is some flexibility in start and end dates according to individual needs.
SKE courses are suitable for both core and school direct trainees.
Modules Covered
SKE courses are suitable for both core and Schools Direct trainees.
Learning Methods
The courses are modular. Modules will be delivered using blended learning with online and face to face components. Each module will have an assessment which could be an examination, laboratory report, presentation, question paper, poster or essay/project.
Teaching Methods
Each participant completes an individual development portfolio which will act both as a tool for monitoring and tracking their progress and to provide evidence at the end of the course for them to take to the ITT Institution in which they intend to complete their training.
A mixture of assignments, assessed presentations, examinations and other forms of assessment are used, varying with each Unit.
Work Placement/Fieldwork
Work placements will be within a secondary school.
What's Next?
If you are interested in SKE courses as a route towards Initial Teacher Education you need to apply through UCAS Teacher Training for the Initial Teacher Education course of your choice, mentioning your willingness to undertake a relevant enhancement course in the personal statement.
Additional Costs
All SKEs are fully funded by the National College for Teaching and Learning (NCTL) and consequently there are no tutorial fees to pay. For UK students and eligible EU students a small bursary is payable fixed with a 90% attendance requirement.
Entry Requirements
You must have been offered a place on a relevant Initial Teacher Education route conditional on first taking and satisfactorily completing a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course.

Veteran music journalist Jake Brown spoke to a wide variety of the top songwriters in Nashville for his new book, 'Nashville Songwriter: The Inside Stories Behind Country Music's Greatest Hits.'
Brown got the scoop from Craig Wiseman, Bob DiPiero, Bill Anderson, Tom Shapiro, Kelley Lovelace, Rivers Rutherford, Tom T. Hall, Chris Dubois, Dallas Davidson, David Lee Murphy, Brett James, Ashley Gorley and Neil Thrasher, among others, taking a look at the writing process behind some of the most popular songs in classic and contemporary country. The book is available here .
In this exclusive video, Lee Thomas Miller talks about writing Jamey Johnson's 'In Color,' which won Song of the Year at the ACM and CMA Awards in 2008 and 2009, respectively, and was certified gold in 2010.
"You look for the phrase that gives you a reason to write a song," says Miller. "And I was telling Jamey a story about some event that I'd been to, and it was a story … about Nashville back in the '60s and some pictures in black and white … I'm talking, and he's kind of zoned out … and he said, 'There's your idea. You think that's somethin', you should've seen it in color.'"
Miller admits, "Those ideas are hard to come by … At that point, just don't mess it up; just write it correctly."
Although it took some time, Miller and Johnson, along with James Otto, were able to connect and write the song. The three began talking about their own grandparents, and the song stemmed from memories of their grandfathers.
"In a lot of ways, it's a song about our grandfathers," Miller says.
'In Color' landed on Johnson's 2008 'That Lonesome Song' album and garnered a Grammy nomination. The 38-year-old hasn't released an album of original material in four years, but he's focusing on the bright side, regardless of where his career takes him.
"I'm going to focus on approaching everything in my life with an attitude of gratitude and see where that gets me," he maintains. "There's gonna be a lot of traveling, music, friends and family. And then, we'll see."

Expats of the ROK, stop if you've heard this one: You can't get "____" in Korea.
"I love Korea," the imaginary newly-established English teacher from various western countries of the world of yesterday would say to other newly-established English teacher friends at the lone expat-friendly drinking establishment in town, over bottles of Hite because, you can't get decent beer in Korea, and Hite's at least better than Cass. "But, you can't get decent cheese here. You can't get avocados here. I would kill for some kettle-cooked chips. Powdered coffee is gross, some coffee beans would be nice. What about some toothpaste with fluoride? My teeth are going to rot out of my skull!"
He, or she (or it, let's just be gender-neutral with our imaginary hero here) pulls back on its cold, dewy brown bottle of brew and makes a face. The beer is getting warm. It hears a rumbly in its tumbly. It is hungry. It needs to feed. While it enjoys Korean food (it is, after all, in Korea), it longs for comfort foods of home: club sandwiches from the diner, cereal that isn't corn flakes or frosted flakes, and pizza. Especially pizza. Koreans just don't understand pizza.
Let's step away from our gender-less protagonist for now. Let's also assume it must have done its Korean Tour of Duty somewhere not in Seoul, which for a time evolved its international tastes at a rate faster than the rest of this small East Asian nation. But, whether it (or, you, or me) were in the capital, a middle-tier city, or Busan, the second-largest city in the country, there have been a number of items, foods, things in general, that were simply unavailable here.
But, times have definitely changed. Anyone planning on coming to teach has probably pored through blog posts from other teachers in excitement, reading about how things are, how things aren't. Mainly, how you'll need to pack this or that before you come, or you should enjoy this or that before you leave your mother country, since you ain't gonna get it here.
Much of that seems to have become redundant. All the big supermarkets have large varieties of wine and beer–not just sweet wines and standard Korean brews–and even a fair selection of liquors. Besides internationally-known beers, Korea's Queen's Ale, 7Brau and Be High, among others, are getting shelf time next to their standard American-adjunct-lager-styled big brothers. All the major convenience store chains today offer many of those beers, as well, often with some kind of "four for 10 (thousand won)" special. Craft beer, which came to Seoul a lot sooner, finally found its footing in Busan in 2013 when Galmegi Brewing Company opened beachside in Gwangan. Their success has resulted in the opening of several other locations, amidst an overall increase in "tap houses" that are serving a variety of both beers brewed in-house and elsewhere in South Korea. Looking through the menu at Owl and Pussycat last night, I noticed there wasn't a Hite, Cass, OB or Max in sight.
Kettle chips are easy to find these days, whether in the supermarket or convenience store. Home plus sells a number of coffee beans, including store-branded 1 kg bags of Hazelnut and Colombian for 12,000 won (about $10.25. Some of those old blogs probably said the conversion from a won to dollar was pretty even. The good old days). And that's just at the supermarket. Don't even get me started on all the coffee in Korea (cheap plug for a concept I kind of abandoned a month ago). Cheeses of a large variety can be easily found in larger supermarkets, some of it a reasonable price. I've even seen Arm & Hammer toothpaste!
Avocados have gotten easier to find. I just picked up a few on discount at Top Mart in the middle of the week. Cilantro is still difficult unless you're near a foreigner market area (like I am in Gimhae, which neighbors Busan to the west) and Mexican/Tex Mex food is still a bit hit or miss (non-existent here, improving in Busan).
Pizza has seemed to be one of the last holdouts. While even a decade ago, you could get mozzarella alongside yellow American cheese, it was waxy, flavorless and cheap. Korean pizza followed the model of places like Domino's and Pizza Hut and as such most pies, whether from those two imports or home-grown establishments, tended to taste like derivations of Domino's and Pizza Hut.
And if you were a person of a certain geographical background (I grew up in New Jersey. Tangent, but have you noticed when people are from countries like Australia, New Zealand or England, they'll almost never say they're from Sydney, Wellington or London? If you're American like me, you'll say you're from New Jersey, like me. Self-centered assholes), you wished you could find a decent slice of pizza–like a decent beer, decent cheese, decent coffee, or a variety of cereals that weren't coated in sugar. The slice you could fold, where a little grease dribbled through your fingers, with ingredients that didn't taste like they only came from a bag, the kind you only seemed to get at home (again, assuming you're from East Coast USA, and other places where good pizza is common).
Yes, you can get that in Korea now, too.
SOL Slice of Life Pizza is absolutely the pizza I grew up with in New Jersey. Everything I said good pizza (for me, at least) should be is there, including the most important (for the business): I cannot wait to go back. And, yes, I know the Kyungsung University area in Busan is a popular area for businesses to accumulate and doesn't necessarily reflect the average neighborhood throughout South Korea. But even at that this is the first pizza like this I have ever had in Korea (I understand The Booth is also pretty good in Haeundae, but I've never gotten to try it. Actually, are they still even making pizza? Their website only lists their Seoul locations and beer only, nothing about pizza…).
It's all very good (or bad, for one's waistline, if such a thing concerns you) for those wanting a taste of home, creature comforts, things like that. But…
When I first came to Jinju, South Korea, in 2005 (the details of which that initial attempt at living a Korean life can be perused in greater detail here), I was a very green world traveler. I had only been overseas once, to the Czech Republic with a group in university. Going to South Korea, to live, was an eye-opening, scary experience (scary enough that I got the hell out of here less than two months later). And all of those creature comforts–cheese that wasn't wrapped in a plastic sheet, avocados, coffees beans and takeout coffee cups bigger than your head–were nowhere to be seen. "Korean Style" fried chicken was already a thing, but the multitude of options were fewer and of a decidedly-less flashy variety, to be sure.
And everything felt so… different. True, some of that feeling was likely because I was so green, but Korea really has changed a hell of a lot in 10 years, especially in regard to its unrelenting march toward westernization. Newbies I talk to these days for the most part have said the culture shock they expected to face wasn't nearly as bad, if there was any culture shock at all. I can't help but wonder if some of the magic has been lost forever.
I guess I'll just have to stuff my face with delicious pizza to numb that creeping sense of loss.

There's a new way to revamp your wardrobe and find great deals on stylish threads, and it has been growing in the past couple of years: clothing swaps. You may have heard of this concept (especially in the fashion blogosphere), as more and more people have participated in these social gatherings to unload their old duds and find some new wardrobe staples. One person's never-worn chambray button-down is another person's treasure, right?
Image by hxdbzxy (Shutterstock).
Here's the general concept: You bring your slightly worn clothing and accessories to the event, you get credits according to the value of what you contribute, and you use those credits to pick out items from other swappers. Organised events have popped up in the US, and there are even start-ups such as ClosetDash that automate the process. Closer to home, you can search online for options through Meetups, Gumtree, Freecycle or other community sites.
Another option? Have a smaller-scale swap held in someone's home. It's like a day spent shopping with your favourite friends — only it's totally free! If you want to try it out, here's a few tips to keep in mind:
- Invite a large enough group of people that there will be various sizes represented, which is better for sharing.
- Suggest a cap on how many items each participant can bring — otherwise, you risk having an enormous stack of unwanted clothes at the end.
- Provide tokens (poker chips, perhaps?) for each item a guest brings in, which she or he can then trade for the items she or he wants.
- Offer extra hangers to display guests' items around your living room, and clear off a bookcase or table to host folded items.
- Bring out a mirror or two so that guests can try on pieces. Of course, the beauty of a swap is that you've got a whole room of friends to lend their expert opinions, but a mirror never hurts.
- Consider turning your swap into a charitable event by suggesting an "entrance" fee from each guest to be donated to the organisation of your choice. At the end of the event, collect the leftover items and take them to a charity shop, so nothing goes to waste.
- Don't forget some snacks and bubbly!
Tell us! Have you done a clothing swap before? Any tips that new swappers should know about?

Set sail this summer on the most incredible high-design yachts available for charter around the world.
More From Architectural Digest:
•A Rustic Yet Sophisticated Farmhouse In The French Countryside
•The 15 Most Beautiful Hotel Pools
Dragonfly: The interiors have been given a chic 1970s vibe, with glossy wood finishes and luxurious white leather sofas. Outdoor features include dining spaces, a Jacuzzi, a large sundeck, and even a helipad on the foredeck of the ship.
The fastest long-range superyacht in the world, the boat is ideal for covering vast distances and is able to navigate tight spaces that most other vessels its length cannot.
CONTACT: SailAway Yacht Charter Consultants; 305-253-7245, 1800sailaway.com
Maltese Falcon: Reportedly the largest sailing yacht in the world, this remarkable vessel was built in 2006 for American venture capitalist Tom Perkins.
Created by renowned Italy-based builders Perini Navi, the ship was sold in 2009 to Greek hedge-fund billionaire Elena Ambrosiadou, who recently began offering the famous cruiser for exclusive charters.

Maltese Falcon: The futuristic decor lends an almost Jetsons-like quality to the craft's 11,000-square-foot living space, thanks to shimmering steel furnishings, sleek contemporary decor, world-class artwork, and a TechnoGym fitness center.
By far the ship's most impressive feature is its DynaRig sail system, consisting of three colossal masts and 15 sails, all of which which unfold at the touch of a button in less than eight minutes. Whenever possible, the boat relies solely on wind power, making it one of the most eco-friendly superyachts on the high seas.

4YOU: This ultraluxe vessel was created in 2009 by Netherlands-based builder Heeseen Yachts and boasts sleek, contemporary interior design by Omega Architects.
Superstar couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé were spotted taking a Mediterranean vacation aboard the superyacht with their daughter, Blue Ivy, in September 2012.
4YOU: One of the saloons includes a baby grand piano and an intricate showstopping piece of Art Deco–inspired work by Dutch glassmaker Glass Déco. The sundeck features an open-air fitness center and spa pool, which can be fully covered by an awning supported by carbon-fiber retractable pillars.

Beluga 1: Originally built in 1998, this Turkish gulet, or schooner, was completely rebuilt in 2007 by its owner, interior designer Anouska Hempel.
Previously only reserved for the decorator's close friends and guests, the ship is now being offered for exclusive charters on the Adriatic Sea around Croatia's unspoiled islands.
Beluga 1: Noted for its sleek black sails and mahogany mast, the yacht has been decorated in a soothing beige palette, with rustic wood furniture, a cushion-covered deck, and multiple areas for entertaining. The top-notch staff includes a butler and certified scuba instructor.
Fresh seafood dishes (black squid risotto, oysters pulled directly from the sea) are prepared by a chef who trained at the Hempel-designed Blakes Hotel in London.

Mariu: In 2003 legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani commissioned this megayacht to be built by Pisa, Italy–based firm Codecasa.
Although it has since been sold, the vessel still contains the couturier's luxe yet understated Japanese-inspired interiors; the open-plan saloon and spacious cabins boast teak floors, titanium ceiling panels, and contemporary furniture from the Armani/Casa collections.
Mariu: An elevator connects the boat's four deck levels, including the generous top-level sundeck, which is covered in raffia mats and equipped with teak furnishings.
Armani intended the ship to reflect the serenity of the sea, and shunned the over-the-top aesthetic of many other yachts of the same size. The exterior is cast in a muted pearl-white and the handsome steel hull is a deep gray, which minimizes contrast with the water and helps visually offset its considerable mass.

An online campaign expressing fandom for the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has attracted widespread attention, but its 17-year-old founder does not want her Tory-voting parents to know.
The Labour leader has become an unlikely subject of teenage adoration on Twitter under the hashtag #milifandom, which became a trending topic on the network on Tuesday.
But its founder, an A-level student in St Helens, who will only give her name as Abby, wants to protect her identity to stop her parents finding out about the campaign.
"The thing is my parents really hate Ed Miliband," Abby told the Guardian. "I will probably have to break it to them eventually, but I want to hold off as long as possible," she said. "I think they have voted Tory in the past, but I don't know who they'll vote this time."
Fandoms are usually reserved for the likes of Justin Bieber and One Direction, but scores of young women and girls are sharing their affection for the Labour leader under #milifandom.
Speaking just before a history lesson, Abby said she had been "gobsmacked" by the interest in #milifandom. She now has 12,000 followers on Twitter.
Until last week, the subject of Abby's online adoration had been a slightly more conventional fandom icon – the actor Tom Hiddleston. But her online activity became more political over the issue of voting rights for young people.
She insists the campaign is not a joke and is annoyed by some who have tried to make light of it. "It is not fair to describe it as tongue-in-cheek. It is just young people angry that they can't vote. David Cameron won't give us a voice, so we are having our say anyway. I just did what I thought was the right thing to do."
Abby, who joined the Labour party two weeks ago, insists that #milifandom was her idea and not instigated, or coordinated, by the party.
"I did this completely by myself. No one associated with Labour contacted me beforehand. I've had a few Labour MPs tweet support for it, but no one influenced it," she said.
Abby said she wanted to counter unflattering portrayals of the Labour leader in the press. "Ed Miliband is often presented quite badly in the media," she said. "I think that's really unfair, because no one actually looks at his policies. They just look at a picture of him eating a bacon sandwich and think, 'I don't want that guy'. I want to change that."
She added: "I'm enthusiastic about change and what's best for the country. And I think that is Ed Miliband. So I'm trying to stop unfair media presentation. The policies are all brilliant and it comes across that he actually cares. The LGBT manifesto was released yesterday and I think that's brilliant. And all the policies for young people like giving 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote. I do like the Green party but I think their policies are very idealistic and I'm not sure about their defence policy."
On her Twitter account, which carries a picture of her hero, Abby has urged Miliband to respond to the campaign by granting her an interview.
She thinks he is unlikely to take up the offer. "At the moment he's trying to win the election, he hasn't got time for things like this. I think it would be brilliant if he did [respond], but I'm not expecting anything."
Abby says Miliband has reached the same level as Tom Hiddleston in her esteem. "It's a different kind of thing. He would run the country very well and he's a really nice guy, but I don't love him as much as Tom Hiddleston. I'd put them on level-pegging."
Abby hopes the campaign will help Labour's election chances, but she is wary of it becoming trivialised. "I hope it doesn't get turned into something silly. I just hope it changes some people's opinions."
The Labour party responded to the flood of complimentary comments, saying: "We didn't see this coming … if you're fired up about Ed, changing Britain, and making your voice heard, we'd love you to be on the team."
Not to be outdone, a Tory supporter attempted to hit back at #milifandom by trying to drum up online interest in fandom for David Cameron.
The #cameronettes campaign started by acknowledging the success of the Miliband fandom by mentioning it in a tweet.
The Telegraph said it appeared to have been sent by a 21-year-old Exeter University politics student and Tory supporter.
More than an hour after it was sent, it had only attracted one retweet.

Our society is afraid of death. We seldom hear anyone say, "So-and-so has died." He or she has not died, they "passed." Consequently, we find it difficult to think about our own death or the death of those we love. Almost without exception, when I visit folk who are on their death bed, no one want to talks about the person dying. As an evangelical Christian I have come to the conclusion that we evangelicals do not help people die. This needs to change, and my change was almost accidental.
The first thing that happened was in a hospital room. Mother was dying and it was apparent the end was near. The entire family was gathered around the bed and no one was talking. I felt the urge to pray for the mother, to ask God to help her die free of pain, and to bless the family gathered there. Instead of being upset the family appreciated my saying what they wanted to say and couldn't.
The second thing that happened was a phone call from a church member who was dying with terminal cancer. She told me she had been reading the fifth chapter of the Book of James:
Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord. 15 This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them to health, and the sins they have committed will be forgiven. 16 So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect.
Could I come and do that with her? I needed to know what she had in mind. Was she expecting a miraculous cure? No, she simply needed to die knowing that her life was in order. I talked to the senior pastor and other staff members and they agreed to go with me if I did the prayer and anointing. So, we went. I had a small bottle of olive oil. We talked with the woman, made the sign of the cross on her forehead with oil, and prayed God would bless her life and her death and to receive her unto himself.
I have concluded that people want to talk about their impending death though family may not. They have apprehension over the process of dying, as we all do. What does it feel like? What do I experience? Do I immediately go to heaven?
I have concluded that healing can take place without a cure. People need healing of bad memories, the healing of confessed sin, the healing of restored relationships, the healing of all the brokenness in life. It is no coincidence that the Greek word for "healing" is the same word for "salvation."
I have concluded that families need to talk with person who is dying: to express their love and appreciation, to ask forgiveness for hurts, and to assure the person they will not die alone.
I cannot answer the questions of apprehension, for I have them, too. I can help people to be relieved of unconfessed sin. I can help people restore broken relationships. I can help people make a deeper commitment to God and to accept dying as a normal process. At the same time I am struggling with my own death.
At times, I have prayed God would take a person home so they could be relieved of suffering. That seemed so strange, at first, because our inclination is to pray for continuing life.
My final conclusion: we need to help people die! I am still working on it

Initially, it's assumed that the flat logo has been uploaded with Chrome beta for Android as a mistake. But Google might have wanted to push the flat version of its logo following the trend of flat logo surfacing on the mobile industry (iOS 7 and Windows Phone 8). Either way, it's a refreshing new look for Google logo.
Changing logo to somewhat flat have been the latest trend in tech world. Possibly started by Microsoft's Metro UI, the flat icon trend was followed by Apple in its iOS 7 design. And now, Google too is going flat with a slightly redesigned version of its logo.
First spotted by the eagle-eyed folks at Ars Technica, the new logo was rolled out with the updated version of Chrome for Android in its beta channel. Digging into the apk file, Ars found the new logo that has a not so drastic but yet noticeable difference in the current Google logo and the one included with the application.
Obviously we don't know for sure if Google will change its logo to this flat one across all of its platform or the search giant is just trying out different Google logos just like Yahoo did. Whatever the case is, the new logo does not look too bad.
Suddenly, the tech industry is obsessed with flat, retro design and Google's new logo proves it again. If you want to check out the new logo in action, you can install Chrome for Android beta from Play Store on your Android.
Do you like the new Google logo? Should Google go flat, too?

Freelance writer Dominique Rambert from New York City joins us today at Writers in Business. Dominique writes mostly about parenting and education issues, but also writes book reviews which are posted on web zine, Balancing Act. She is also the founder of Mommy Writers, a non-profit organization built to offer a community to writing mothers.
You are one busy woman! Please tell us about your web sites and blogs.
I am pretty busy. I maintain 4 different sites. The two that take up most of my time are Searching for Freelance Success - my writing blog, and Mommy Writers - the site for for writing moms support group. I also produce a web zine called Balancing Act which I started in hopes of offering opportunities to new writers to earn their first clips and begin to build their portfolio. Then, of course, there's my web page which serves mostly to promote myself as a writer.
On your Searching for Freelance Success web site, you wrote "I started this blog to chronicle my journey in the freelance writing industry, while hopefully offering some lessons from the trenches to other writers who are beginning their careers." Can you share two of these lessons with us?
The most important lesson I've learned to date is to give yourself more time than you think neccessary to complete writing jobs. I made the mistake of promising a prospective client some samples once only to find that I didn't have them. So I had to complete brand new sample newsetters in a couple days. That didn't happen and so as you can imagine I didn't get her business.
Lesson two is along the same lines. When asking for interviews make sure the bulk of your work is already done. Or at the very least be able to give the people you're interviewing a realistic deadline for the piece. I interviewed someone for a piece expecting to be finished with it in a couple weeks. It ended up taking more than double that. It's not easy wrangling interviews.
All- in-all both lessons have to do with deadlines. I've learned that dealines are a way of life for a writer.
I understand you created Mommy Writers with a goal "to foster a sense of community and sisterhood among Mommy Writers". How do writers find you? Where do you meet? What does the organization do to help mothers hone their writing skills?I participate on a lot of social networking sits like BlogHer and Mom Bloggers, so they find me there. Or occassionally I'll post an update in Yahoo Groups where I think people might be interested.
So far I've hosted two Mommy Writers events in NYC, both of which were held in the Brookyn Heights Branch Brooklyn Public Library. I will be hosting more vents in NYC in the future at different locations around NYC, and Mommy Writers members are welcome to host events in their areas.
To help mothers hone their writing skills I offer free online writing workshops. Right now the first is already in session. I use books written by writing professionals, share excerpts with the members registered for the workshop, I give assignments based on the material covered, and then we all give each other feedback on the assignments. It's a good alternative to expensive classes and using reference books with no feedback.
In the future I will be holding workshops in person and speaking engagements for our members as well.
Visit Freelancer For Hire and Mommy Writers to learn more about Dominique and how she can help your writing business.

Amazon Kindle – "iPod of reading" or digital kindling?November 18, 2007 at 10:17 pm | Posted in tech | 3 Comments
Tags: amazon, books, digital reader, textbooks
This is the Amazon Kindle. It's rumored to a be web-enabled digital reader with a 30 hour battery life. Amazon will make the officially announce the device tomorrow. CEO Jeff Bezos is calling it the "iPod of reading" in Newsweek. Follow the link for a creepy pic of Bezos plus the article.
Gizmodo has a good, succinct description of the digital reader plus pricing on available books. So I want repeat what they have stated so well.
Let's think about how they should price and market this $399 device.
For the average consumer the Kindle should be virtually free. Follow the lead of many, from the way the phone company "gave" you a phone back in the day (so that you would use their service) to cheap inkjet printers that rope into buying toner, and sell the Kindle at a loss to encourage readers to buy books online. Price it at $50 and I'd be more willing to stop using the library so much. Given the popularity of the iPod, I don't think that iPod owners will be inclined to drop another $399 on a Kindle since the content runs anywhere from $1.99 to nearly ten bucks.
Their real target market should be the education market. Imagine if each student received a Kindle on the first day of school and loaded it with all their textbooks. With space for 200 books, there' s room for an encyclopedia, dictionary and other references that will serve the student well. We'll learn more about it's web-browsing ability, but that would be a huge bonus, too.
This would lighten the load of your backpack. Amazon, are you listening?
PS – when will Apple release the iRead? You can already imagine the ad campaign..,

You have the best water purifier that gives you the purest water; sometimes, it also adds essential minerals for added benefits. You know all about drinking clean water, thanks to all the water purifier brands.
Just like water, your blood needs purification too. And unlike water, the blood filter does not come in different brands (well, at least, not yet. You never know where science will take you tomorrow). Your blood has only two filters and you are born with them – your kidneys! You lose them, your blood gets intoxicated and your life is threatened. Substitutes and alternatives are rare, costly, risky and of course, uncomfortable.
So, best, keep them safe and healthy. But where to start? Start with being aware of your kidneys, their health requirements, the irritants and their cry for attention.
What is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Chronic kidney disease or CKD is a progressive disease where the functioning of your kidney diminishes gradually. Your kidney is made up of tiny filters called nephrons. When by and by, a large number of nephrons get damaged, the workload on the healthy ones increase which in turn might shut them down, as well. This way, when the functioning of the kidney falls below a certain level, you have a kidney failure. At that point, the treatment options are only a kidney transplantation and dialysis.
Nearly 17% of Indians suffer from CKD and the rate is still increasing. It is more prevalent in rural areas.
What Causes CKD?
High blood pressure and diabetes are the most relevant triggers and causes of CKD. Sometimes your kidneys might get affected due to infection, inflammations, or if you are genetically vulnerable to kidney diseases. If you have a defect in any other part of your urinary system like kidney stones, prostatitis or urinary tract infection etc., this can have an effect on the health of your kidney as well. Excessive or prolonged use of painkillers and drug abuse can also cause CKD.
How Can I Know If I Have A CKD?
The worst part of CKD is that it does not show any symptoms until it's significantly late. Some people do not get the idea of anything being wrong with the kidneys until it's the last stage or until they suffer from a kidney damage.
However, watch out for the following symptoms of CKD:
Dark urine
Cloudy/foamy urine
Blood in urine
Swollen feet, ankles, fingers or even abdomen in later stages
Loss of appetite
Difficulty concentrating
Back pain
What Are The Treatment Options For CKD?
CKD is a degenerative and progressive disease. You cannot undo the damage already done. All you can do is stop the damage or at least, slow it down. Medicines and supplements can help to some extent. But in the case of kidney failure, you will need dialysis until you get a kidney transplantation. But what you need the most is diet. Avoid salt and red meat. You can read more about CKD diet here.
How Can You Prevent It?
No doubt, prevention wins over cure. You should always make an extra effort to drink more water in your daily life.
When Should I See A Doctor?
Since kidney diseases do not show symptoms, doctors advise that you go for an annual check-up. But if you see any of the symptoms mentioned, do not wait for your annual visit. See a doctor immediately.
Your kidneys are constantly at work, serving you day and night. Keep them safe and healthy. Help them serve you long and good.

George Gilder, in his latest book, Life After Google: The Fall of the Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy, effectively argues that our current big data IT world (he uses Google as the metaphor and leading provider) is not here to stay because of inherent flaws, the most significant being cyber-insecurity and the associated loss of human privacy. George Gilder is an American writer, investor, 20-book author, and techno-utopian advocate. Despite it's current hype, some may ask, what is blockchain?
"A blockchain, originally block chain, is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data (generally represented as a merkle tree root hash). By design, a blockchain is resistant to modification of the data. It is 'an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way'." WikipediaMost people associate blockchain with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin which is a new form of electronic cash. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency designed to bypass central banks and Nation State fiat monies undergirding today's global financial transactions. Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography, and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin was invented by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009. it hasn't really been free when one considers the massive loss of personal privacy, intellectual property, and the growing effectiveness of cybercrime. In addition, as Gilder points out, free ultimately robs us of time, our ultimate immutable resource. Even more interesting to me is his comparison of Marxism and the failed twentieth-century socialist governments that perpetrated the slaughter of over 100-million of their citizens in the name of rational centralized government planning. While Gilder acknowledges the brilliance of Silicon Valley leaders such as Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, he also argues that modern centralized big data systems are the neo-Marxism of our day.
"Marx was typical of intellectuals in imagining that his own epoch was the final stage of human history. William F. Buckley used to call it an immanentized eschaton, a belief the "last things" were taking place in one's own time. The neo-Marxism of today's Silicon Valley titans repeats the error of the old Marxists in its belief that today's technology—not steam and electricity, but silicon microchips, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, algorithmic biology, and robotics—is the definitive human achievement. The algorithmic eschaton renders obsolete not only human labor but the human mind as well." Gilder, George. Life After Google, Kindle Locations 224-229Alternately Gilder argues, based upon Shannon's information theory, that information is surprise and inventive human minds will always provide that surprise in a system of economics that rewards surprise. He also doesn't fear the AI takeover of the human race by machines, as is predicted by Ray Kurzweil's singularity or Elon Musk's AI fears, because machines are, by definition, deterministic and will never achieve the non-determinism of human consciousness that provides our human ability to invent surprise. Inventing surprise or knowledge is Gilder's definition of economy. To bring this back to Naval and DoD practicalities, the near-term value of this discussion is that blockchain, as an enabler of immutable distributed ledgers, offers a fundamental transformation of today's unsecured DoD IT architecture. Working with this emerging technology, provides DoD an opportunity to start building the security stepping stones needed to transform today's cyber-insecurity into tomorrow's National Security cryptocosm. To that end, consider the value of secure distributed ledgers for challenges such as: encryption key distribution; supply chain logistics; military medical records management; weapon and nuclear material tracking; human resource skills and assignment tracking; and, perhaps even situation awareness track management.
One thing is certain! Without a fundamental improvement in IT cybersecurity across the DoD, the future of warfare is up for grabs with our near-peer competitors, and the solution will be more about proven results than Information Assurance process driven activities like Risk Management Framework.For more insights see:

Pink's husband Carey Hart shared the most romantic post about his wife and it will warm your heart
Pink's husband Carey Hart has shared the most romantic post about his wife and it's making us swoon.
Taking to Instagram, Carey praised the 39-year-old – who is mother to seven-year-old Willow and 2-year-old Jameson, calling her a "superwoman".
Alongside two photos of Pink with their children, Carey wrote: "This is a picture of superwoman and our kids."
"This woman has the weight of the world on her shoulders, and still is the best mother on the planet. The commitment you have to our kids and family is inspiring.
"Thanks for being such a hands-on mother to our two lil monsters," he continued. "It's because of you that they are the best kids. We love you."
How sweet is that?!
The loving tribute was shared in honour of mother's day over the weekend.
- READ MORE: Pink vows never to share photos of her children again after being slammed for posting this picture of Jameson ...
Earlier this year Pink and Carey celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary and it turns out one of the secrets to their relationship's success is the fact that the love birds have been in couples counselling since the beginning of their relationship.
"We have been in couples counselling almost our entire 17 years that we've been together," she said in an interview with The Today Show.

Siamese Cats
Cats with Purrsonality
Siamese cats are one of the oldest recognized and established breeds of cat. These shorthaired, blue-eyed breed are one of the most sociable of all feline breeds—and one of the most popular.
According to an article by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA), the world's largest registry of pedigreed cats, the Siamese breed was discovered by the English more than 100 years ago. Siamese cats are believed to have hailed from Asia; specifically Thailand (then Siam), and are one of the first recognized breeds of oriental, or foreign, cats.
CatChannel.com, the Web site for cat lovers, describes Siamese cats as intelligent and highly social. These svelte cats also enjoy interaction with other people and animals, particularly dogs.
Siamese cats have loud, low-pitched meows and are quite vocal, often times demanding attention. Normally active and playful cats, this breed seeks out companionship from their human counterparts, whether that entails sitting laps or being in bed with their owners.
Because of their attention-seeking personalities, Siamese cats are often compared to dogs since they tend to follow their owners around, and have been known to willingly walk on leashes.
According to the CFA Persian breed standard, (the hypothetical ideal set of guidelines used to insure that the animals produced by a breeding facility conform to the specifics of the breed), the ideal Siamese is a medium sized, svelte, refined cat with long tapering lines, very lithe, yet muscular build.
Siamese cats have creamy coats and darkly colored points in their snouts, ears, lower legs, paws and tail. Their pointed colors are a result of a mutation of a heat-sensitive enzyme involved in pigment production, which results in darker coloration in the coolest parts of a Siamese's body.
Siamese are also widely recognizable by their blue, almond-shaped eyes, short coat, elongated body and chiseled, wedge-shaped faces.
Well-bred Siamese cats are generally healthy cats that have the potential to live long lives, if cared for properly and receive routine veterinary care. However, genetic weaknesses exist in some purebred lines; consult with your breeder to determine any possible health issues.
