One of the most common phrases I hear in my practice is "I feel burned out!" "Fatigue" and "low energy" are almost always my new patients' top health priorities. My client base is mainly urban professionals, entrepreneurs and new parents, and the pattern is clear: burnout is an epidemic.
Burnout has long been experienced – if not recognized – in the workplace, but recently, even the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified burnout as a phenomenon that is limiting our productivity and performance. Athletes train in regimens that prevent burnout, or as it's referred to in athletic circles—overtraining.
The pace of our world has increased dramatically in the past two decades, with technology, and social media governing our lives more than ever. With this increased speed of life has come an increased perception of workload and expectation of productivity. The accelerated rate of change has put us in a precarious situation—we're just not built for the world we live in.
Burnout is real. And it's time we started talking about it.
The WHO defines burnout as a syndrome, resulting from poorly managed chronic stress. When we fail to cope or adapt to the pace of the world around us, we may experience:
- A sense of energy depletion or exhaustion, often with soreness that doesn't dissipate
- Negative feelings about our work or lives, or an increased distancing from it
- Lowered productivity, focus, memory and concentration, with increased irritability
While the underlying causes of burnout are unique to the individual and often complex, equipping our bodies to thrive and be resilient in our stressful world begins with the following considerations:
Find more routine, rest and recovery. Train your body to be prepared for daily challenges. As much as possible, try to wake-up, eat, exercise and go to sleep at the same times each day. Find opportunities every week to honour your body through imagery practices, meditation, mindfulness or through bodywork treatments such as massage therapy or acupuncture.
Get enough sleep. Most adults do best with a minimum of 7 quality hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
Eat nutrient dense & optimize digestion. Stress, like exercise, increases our needs for both macro and micronutrients; especially B-Vitamins, and essential fatty acids. It's crucial to consume foods that provide us with high quantities of our much-needed vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. One study found that intake of polyphenols—a particular type of phytonutrient—was a predictor of mental energy. Consider functional foods like greens+, that nourishes and energizes your body with a powerful phytonutrient blend, or fermented organic gut superfoods+, which contains highly absorbable polyphenols, and prebiotics to support a healthy gut ecology.
Get enough protein. Stress increases our protein requirements, and as our diets have culturally shifted toward a more plant-based diet, many of us are not acquiring enough protein on a daily basis to rebuild tissues, produce neurotransmitters or balance blood sugar. Most active adults need about 1 gram of protein each day for each kilogram of body weight. A protein powder added to a smoothie of your favourite fruits and vegetables is a simple way to up your intake. Ensuring that the protein source is absorbable and easily digested is key. A fermented, organic product is an excellent source, like fermented organic vegan proteins+ that boosts your daily protein intake by 20 grams per serving without bloating.
Hydrate. Did you know that you require water to create energy at the cellular, and chemical level (ATP)? Most adults require at a bare minimum, 2L of pure water each day, ideally consumed away from food, to optimize digestion of foods. Make it a habit to place a full glass of water at your bedside each night and drink the entire glass immediately upon waking. Bonus –infuse it with a slice of fresh lemon.
Move, but don't over-exercise. One of the biggest factors in Burnout is that people like to exercise their stress away. While intense exercise promotes the production of endorphins and dopamine which make us feel better, exercise is still a form of stress, and needs to be done responsibility and in moderation, particularly when recovering from, or preventing, burnout.
Consider herbal and nutraceutical supplements. But do so under the guidance of a trained, experienced and licensed healthcare practitioner*. Adaptogenic herbs can help your body cope with physical and psychological stress. greens+ provides a safe, daily dose of herbs with adaptogenic properties, like licorice root and Siberian ginseng, as well as plant-based nourishment that can enhance energy and alkalinize the body (stress can be acidic!).
Strategic, quality supplements may increase your resilience to stress, your energy, focus, memory and concentration, but are only tools on the road to recovery or resilience that should be combined with the diet and lifestyle changes.
*Supervision is essential as herbal and nutraceutical supplements are not always safe, and are only cost-effective when chosen appropriately for your unique body and life's context. Always speak to your licensed and experienced healthcare practitioner before starting a new product.

all architects are intimately aware of the difference between drawing a building in elevation and seeing it in perspective. The mechanistic elevation drawing renders all the three dimensional aspects of the drawing into a flat, single plane. Perspective is much more closely how we actually see real buildings in space – the structure diminishes as it recedes into space, both horizontally and vertically.
On a recent trip to Virginia I stopped by Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. Standing in the middle of the baking hot Lawn, you can look back to the Rotunda and see domed building with its flanking concourses. That view triggered a memory of a drawing – Jefferson's own elevation of the building. In his drawing the perfection of the geometry of the building results from the height of the building fitting perfectly into a pure circle which in turn describes the arc of the top of the dome.
In perspective, standing on the Lawn, an inscribed circle that includes the curvature of the dome is significantly larger than Jefferson's elevation circle. In perspective, the height of the building is drastically foreshortened. The idealized perfection of the building is not apparent to the eye.
What many current architects fail to understand (or maybe remember from architectural history class) is that the purely planar geometry of an elevation is meant to be a kind of description of a building, not a view of the building. In an age dominated by 3D models and rendering programs, the perspective-driven views that can be effortlessly generated have become the prime design tool. The elevation is almost an afterthought, a drawing still required to obtain a building permit and maybe make a building, but not part of the design process.
Jefferson never intended you to look at the building and see the perfect geometry embedded within. You were to know it and to sense the harmony of the overall composition with all its parts because of the balance and harmony of the inscribed geometric figures. The elevation drawing was a way to organize the building, not in a visual sense but as a compositional whole, and in turn, lend meaning to the institution as connected to "universal" laws of nature.
Frankly, to me the Rotunda is a bit awkward. The main body of the center doesn't balance nicely with the flanking wings, the dome seems to be neither large enough nor small enough to sit well with the temple front. I am pretty sure Jefferson would not care so much with this assessment as his building was not composed for the pleasure of the eyes or even some plastic, 3-dimensional sculptural appreciation. The perfection of the geometry trumped merely human visual appraisal and struck out for membership in that pantheon of the perfect, the pure and the timeless.

(See: Trasher JF, et al. Cigarette Warning Label Policy Alternatives and Smoking-Related Health Disparities. American Journal of Preventive Medicine 2012; 2012;43(6):590–600.)
The study was intended to test the effectiveness of graphic warning labels in deterring smoking among adult smokers. A sample of 1000 adult smokers was divided into experimental and control groups. The control group was shown the current text-only warnings while the experimental groups were shown a series of graphic pictorial warnings. Subjects were asked to rate the warnings in terms of credibility, relevance, and perceived effectiveness.
The study found that pictorial warnings were rated as more effective and concludes that such warnings are effective in encourage smoking cessation: "A cost-effective means of intervention, pictorial labels and specifically graphic imagery have the potential to significantly influence adult smokers to understand the range and magnitude of smoking-related risks, while encouraging them to quit."
The Rest of the Story
It is a huge stretch to conclude from this study that pictorial cigarette warnings are effective in promoting smoking cessation among adult smokers. The study merely tested the perceived effectiveness of the labels following a single exposure occurring in a laboratory setting and did not measure any actual change in behavior. There is strong evidence that there is a rapid wear-out effect whereby smokers get used to the warnings quickly and they fail to motivate quitting after this wear-out occurs.
This type of evidence is simply not going to withstand scientific scrutiny by the courts. The D.C. Court of Appeals has already let it be known that it is not going to be swayed by this type of experimental evidence. There are no convincing studies that demonstrate an actual effect of graphic warning labels on smoking behavior and the FDA admitted as much.
But the more interesting aspect of the rest of the story is that this study inadvertently provides evidence for the tobacco companies to bolster their argument that the graphic warning labels are unconstitutional. The key issue is whether the labels are merely presenting factual information or whether they are attempting to promote smoking cessation by stirring emotions and going beyond merely providing facts to warn users about the health effects.
According to this study: "The tobacco industry has argued that the FDA's proposed imagery is not real and involves emotional appeals instead of the simple transmission of risk information. However, smokers in the present study rated the graphic imagery as more credible, personally relevant, and effective than either textual content or alternative imagery that could be used in its place."
And how, exactly, did the study measure the effectiveness of the warning labels? One of the questions used to assess effectiveness was whether: "The health warning label makes you think about quitting." Only after this question was asked were respondents asked to rate the overall effectiveness of the warning labels. Thus, it was clear to respondents that the effectiveness of the warning labels was to be assessed in terms of the degree to which they encouraged smoking cessation.
Clearly, then, the intended purpose of the warning labels in the eyes of tobacco control practitioners is not merely to provide health information but to effectively encourage smoking cessation. This is precisely the tobacco industry's argument and this paper helps to confirm that argument. These labels are not merely thought of in the tobacco control movement as a mechanism to effectively inform smokers about the health consequences of smoking. They are thought of and intended as a mechanism to persuade smokers to quit.
In other words, the FDA is forcing the tobacco companies to use their cigarette packages as a sort of anti-smoking billboard in which they must encourage consumers not to use that product. This goes beyond the provision of factual information and therefore makes the warning labels subject to a higher level of scrutiny. The labels do not pass that higher level of scrutiny because there is not sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they will be effective for their intended purpose and it cannot be argued that the intervention is the least intrusive one available for this purpose.

Sierra Moore does a great job of melding the laid back stoner rap of Curren$y with the more abrasive sounds of Atlanta trap. "Smoking session is built off of some lounge-y piano chords that would allow it to settle comfortably into a smoking jam, but some prickly synths, punchy sub-bass crawl, and even some G-Funk screeches crawl in and out, creating some interesting tension a song of this type would usually be keen to avoid.
"Smoking session" has placed the rapper among this week's final four Heatseekers. If you like to have your song or video featured on the site, you can submit content to us here.

Archive Notes
The Odes date from the second century, and were probably written in Greek or Aramaic. At least one scholar has suggested they may have an origin in Valentinian Gnosticism, though this is of course speculative. The Church Father Lactantius (third century) quoted from them, and the Pistis Sophia mentions about five complete Odes.

HCM CITY (VNS) — Viet Nam's Ly Hoang Nam booked a berth in the third round of the French Open's boys' singles in Paris yesterday.
No 11 seed Nam defeated Nathan Ponwith of the United States 6-1, 6-2.
Ponwith, who is seeded No 25 in the world, killed himself with seven double faults and seven unforced errors during a match which lasted nearly an hour.
Nam will next play Djurabeck Karimov of Uzbekistan, who beat No 3 seed Hong Seong-chan of South Korea 6-2, 6-3 earlier yesterday.
In the doubles event, Nam and his partner Bogdan Bobrov of Russia will meet Germany's Tim Sandkaulen and Hungary's Mate Valkusz.
They made an impressive start in the first round on Monday by defeating French duo Matteo Martineau and Alexandre Muller 6-0, 6-3. — VNS

It is an unfathomable task to recognize the full incongruities and complexities of the human being. We are born of atoms and molecules, of DNA passed down from our ancestors, of organs and water and bacteria. We function in a physical plane determined by the synapses and chemicals of the brain, influenced by the conscious and unconscious mind. We are endlessly united to each other by the attachments of love, blood or shared experience.
These bodies, these human beings, interact and commune in the sacred dance of living. These sacs of lungs and blood move together in this physical and emotional plane of existence, daring to wound, daring to injure the majesty of it all.
Some of these human beings make the tragic decision that their existence in this vast and unknowable world is significantly more important than other human beings in this vast and unknowable world. So they laugh and they march and they use and they discard, leaving human beings of infinite beauty and value marred and broken.
At the end of the day I am still as a child, mystified by the problem of pain. I can explain away abuse through the context of expectations and power-hungry egos. I can see and study narcissism and personality disorders that act as the human equivalents of black holes. I can walk through the steps towards the release of guilt and fear, but I cannot understand it.
I once asked God in an empty chapel, with light streaming in through the glass stained windows and dust settling on the varnished pews, what I had failed to give him. Why, when I knew his power and grace and love and redemption, was I afraid? He sat me down beside himself, reached into my chest and pulled out my heart. As he held it still beating in his hands, he smiled, and my heart began to bud flowers and vines and small trees.
He took my hand and at once we were flying through a sea of stars, a sense of absolute freedom filling my empty chest. He held me close and turned my head to look at the now-distant earth.
"Where is your home?"
I buried my head in his chest and I cried, for I knew in the deepest parts of my spirit, that my home was in his arms, dancing in this sea of stars.
"Stay with me."
This post is for everyone who has known deep and incomprehensible pain. I will not write this blog and pretend to understand why human beings use other human beings. I cannot pretend to be dry land in a stormy sea.
But this wisdom is the only lighthouse I have ever trusted: the arms of the Father are safe. The arms of the Father are always and forever open. The arms of the Father are the only place I can truly call home.
As soon as the anger of past hurt arises, I remember the sea of stars. As soon as the fear of judgement of my peers arises, I remember the sea of stars. When thoughts of failure, incompetence, anxiety and regret flood my mind, I remember the sea of stars and run to the arms of the only one whose love I will gladly never comprehend.
In his arms, there is no shame. In his arms, there is no fear. In his arms, there is only love, grace and complete acceptance and celebration of who you are. In his arms, there is eternal freedom.
"Stay with me."

Louie Simmons on Olympic Weightlifting
Early this week, I received a book in the mail. The book was entitled "Olympic Weightlifting Strength Manual" by Louie Simmons. I have to say that I was very excited to read the book causing so much talk amongst my peers in Olympic weightlifting.
Some of you might know that I competed in both weightlifting and powerlifting. My first weightlifting coach was two-time Olympian Wes Barnett. Louie Simmons had the most influence on my powerlifting career. Having competed in both sports gives me a unique advantage for bridging the gap between the two. I have also coached athletes to major success in both sports.
Yesterday, I talked to Louie Simmons via the telephone. We talked about performing a dual seminar where we could possible learn from each other. I believe this to be a great idea. You see I take a very different approach to strength and conditioning than most people. I don't have a system that is 100% set in place. My system continues to evolve year in and year out. That's why it's successful.
My goal is to learn from everyone. Heck if my twelve-year-old Morgan McCullough makes a profound statement, then I will listen. Lately I have learned a lot of new concepts from in-depth discussions with 19-year-old Nathan Damron.
I knew that when I saw Louie's book in the mail that there would be several things to pick up from the book. It's unfortunate that other American coaches are so shut down and close-minded to learning new ideas. Who cares that he's a powerlifting coach? I don't! I learn new ideas and concepts from strength and conditioning coaches all the time. My good friend Coach Joe Kenn teaches me life lessons regarding coaching all the time.
It's too bad that other coaches can't continue learning. It's their athletes that suffer in the end. For all of the egotistical weightlifting coaches out there here is a bit of advice. Louie Simmons has influenced the strength world more than any other coach in the World. You can walk into any strength and conditioning facility in America and find at least one thing that was influenced by Louie. Thousands of collegiate and pro strength coaches all throughout the world use his methods to make athletes bigger, faster, and stronger. Coach Watts (Head of Education at Elite FTS) and Coach Joe Kenn (Head Strength Coach at the Carolina Panthers) are both heavily influenced by Louie. Why is Olympic weightlifting so prideful that we can't learn? You're telling me that we are better than the NFL? We know more than their strength coaches?
Look I am not saying that everything he says is golden. I am just saying that we can learn from him. I read the first ten pages of the book, and I have already picked up some good nuggets. I know that a lot of you are going to try and tear me apart for being positive about Louie's book. However, if my team is already beating you after only three years into the sport, I would be careful. But then again do what you want. Here we go:
1. Variations of the Lifts: Now here is where I don't think that he is 100% right, but he is on the right track. I am not into box squats because I am more interested in the position of the squat during the catch of the clean or snatch. However, I am definitely into the conjugate method just not quite as extreme. Here are some of our variations:
• Clean or Snatch Paused at knee
• Clean or Snatch paused 2 inches off of floor
• Front Squat
• Back Squat
• Goodmornings
• Wide Goodmornings
• RDLs
• Unilateral RDLs
• Power Clean
• Power Snatch
• Clean or snatch from high blocks
• Clean or snatch from medium blocks
• Clean or snatch from low blocks
• OH Squats
• Snatch balance
• Power clean or snatch from high blocks
• Power clean or snatch from medium blocks
• Power clean or snatch from low blocks
• Rep maxes with a rep count of 1-5
• Paused squats with a 1-10 second count
• Paused front squats with a 1-10 second count
• Snatch pulls
• Clean Pulls
• High pulls
• Pulls from blocks
• Kang Squats
• Hypers
• Reverse Hypers
• GHRs
• BB Hip Extensions
• Concentric squats from pins
• Concentric front squats from pins
I could easily go on forever with the only difference is that I don't sway too far from the full depth squats or classical lifts. The list above could be used to configure hundreds of variations to make sure that training never plateaus. I do believe that American coaches are too complacent with their athletes that are plateauing for great lengths of time. I don't believe that this should ever happen. You need to either get them stronger, switch things up, or move up a weight class.
2. Attacking weaknesses with special exercises- Louie is totally right in my opinion. A lot of coaches will try to alter technique over and over to fix movement issues. However a lot of the time their athletes aren't able to hold positions due to a weakness. Using special exercises to strengthen positions is a great idea that a few weightlifting coaches are already using.
Look I am not saying that all American coaches are getting it wrong. I am one of you. I know a lot of coaches in America, and there are a lot of great coaches. My friends Greg Everett and Spencer Arnold are crushing things. My partners in coaching Don McCauley and Chris Wilkes are obviously killing it.
I am just saying that his ideas to strengthen weaknesses are right on, and this is where I want to learn the most from him. That man has machines and bars that I have never seen before. Do you think that I am going to shrug them off because I don't know what they are? Heck no! I am going to learn all about them. If they can help my team, you better believe that I am going to use them.
I know that he has some awesome machines for building the strength of the torso, hamstrings, erectors, and upper back. I can't wait to find out more. Think about it! If I can increase the lifts of my lifters 1-2%, then I have increased their totals a minimum for 3-5 kilos. That's the difference in winning and losing during this era of weightlifting.
3. Recruiting Younger Athletes- He talks about recruiting athletes before the age of 13-years-old. He talks about University programs to entice the athletes. I believe that we all agree on these points. The problem is how to we go about it? We need to form groups that go around to schools and communities giving athletic tests to young athletes to identify potential weightlifters.
Once we identify them, we need to have benefits in place to offer them reasons to begin the sport. We need University Programs, financial benefits, and facilities that offer everything an athlete could need to succeed. Only the Lord knows how hard I am trying to do this very thing.
I want the same thing that Louie and a lot of other strength coaches want for weightlifting in America. I want to make it successful too. I just need partners that are willing to help. I can't do it on my own. Thank God for people like Jay Sharpe that are helping financially, and Jay is trying coordinate Team Mash Elite with other foundations and individuals willing to help the cause.
A lot of people in America have talked about the lack of success in weightlifting. Not many people want to put their money and/or time where their mouth is. I won't stop until I have helped change the sport of weightlifting forever. We've already partnered with another company that I can't mention for various reasons. We are also working with a supplement company and a barbell company for sponsorship. It will happen.
We are still looking for partners in the following ways:
• Become a Mash Affiliate (email email@example.com for more informations)
• Financial Partner
• Identifying foundations and individuals that might be a good fit
• Help with grant writing
• Administrative assistants
Together we will help change American Weightlifting. My passion for change is the very reason that I read books like Louie's with an open-mind. There has to be a better way. I am not going to use the drug issue as an excuse to continue failing. This is America. Our other sports are succeeding drug free, and so can we.
If you are interested in partnering, email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Let's team up! We need to quit fighting with each other. Instead we need to put our heads together, and get this thing done. I am going to continue reading Louie's book, and hopefully I will give you different insights than other coaches. Guys and gals always look for the nuggets in things. If you look closely, they are always there.

text: Microfinance offers one way to combat poverty by providing access to credit and financial services to low-income borrowers. We argue that the interconnectedness of the socioeconomic and ecological system as well as the reliance on ecosystem services make it important to provide microcredit from a full sustainability perspective. We used the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development, a scientific based systematic and strategic approach, to create a principle-based model of a microfinance institution operating in a socioeconomic and ecologically sustainable manner. This model was then compared with the circumstances in which these institutions currently operate. We then explored how taking a full sustainability perspective could meet current challenges and maximise opportunities. After a prioritisation process, we made recommendations on how these organisations could strategically move towards sustainability.

First Peoples Disability Network (FPDN) and Mamre have launched a new 'Our Way Planning' resource this week in the Torres Strait Islands. The resource will be used nationally and was officially launched at the NDIS readiness workshops held by Mamre.
The Our Way planning resource was developed in consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living with disability, Elders and community members across NSW, the Northern Territory , Queensland and the Torres Strait Islands.
Uncle Paul Calcott, FPDN said: "The Our Way Planning resource uses the traditional method of art and story telling to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living with disability to identify areas of their life they need assistance with. The book is designed to recognise the importance of culture, community and Country. Our community's can use the book in their own way to identify what type of support is needed to help keep them keep strong in their relationships, their family, community and culture."
For further information regarding the Our Way Planning resources contact FPDN at [email protected]
FPDN is the national peak organisation of and for First Peoples with Disability
Mamre exists so that all people are contributing to the richness of a diverse society and are respected and valued.

An Ajax Repeater control with ASP.NET
Jigar Desai has information in this post from C# Corner about using an ASP.NET repeater control with Ajax to dynamically build out a table of data.
XMLHttp and AJAX can really make your application do tricks which were not possible with plain vanilla HTML, but your code can become messy very quickly if you do not plan your approach properly.
JavaScript library that looks ahead of all is prototype's library for Ajax (http://prototype.conio.net/) but there is still no such utility that will help you to display tabular data with ease that you get when you use control like repeater control of asp.net so I decided to make one and share with community.
He talks about the setup of the Control, how it needs to be able to grab the XML via an Ajax connection, and understand the resulting content enough to know if anything needs to be called to manipulate it. He shows the sample XML structure for the application, and moves on to the code for the Control. The HTML and Javascript are placed in the page, and the call is made to the ASP.NET script to fetch the data. The javascript then builds out the table, creating a nice, dyanmic method of displaying rows of data on your page.

Paris is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. The city of Paris, within its administrative limits (the 20 arrondissements), has a population of about 2,230,000. Its metropolitan area is one of the largest population centres in Europe, with more than 12 million inhabitants.An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris had become, by the 12th century, one of Europe's foremost centres of learning and the arts and the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.Paris and the Paris region, with €572.4 billion in 2010, produce more than a quarter of the gross domestic product of France and has one of the largest city GDPs in the world. Considered as green and highly liveable, the city and its region are the world's leading tourism destination. They house four UNESCO World Heritage Sites and many international organizations.
HistoryOriginsThe earliest archaeological signs of permanent settlements in the Paris area date from around 4200 BC.[11] The Parisii, a sub-tribe of the Celtic Senones, inhabited the area near the river Seine from around 250 BC.[12][13] The Romans conquered the Paris basin in 52 BC,[11] with a permanent settlement by the end of the same century on the Left Bank Sainte Geneviève Hill and the Île de la Cité. The Gallo-Roman town was originally called Lutetia, or Lutetia Parisorum but later Gallicised to Lutèce. It expanded greatly over the following centuries, becoming a prosperous city with a forum, palaces, baths, temples, theatres, and an amphitheatre.[14] The collapse of the Roman empire and the 5th-century Germanic invasions sent the city into a period of decline. By AD 400, Lutèce, largely abandoned by its inhabitants, was little more than a garrison town entrenched into a hastily fortified central island.[11] The city reclaimed its original appellation of "Paris" towards the end of the Roman occupation, around 360 AD.[5]Merovingian and Feudal ErasThe Paris region was under full control of the Germanic Franks by the late 5th century. The Frankish king Clovis the Frank, the first king of the Merovingian dynasty, made the city his capital from 508. The late 8th century Carolingian dynasty displaced the Frankish capital to Aachen; this period coincided with the beginning of Viking invasions that had spread as far as Paris by the early 9th centuryRepeated invasions forced Parisians to build a fortress on the Île de la Cité. One of the most remarkable Viking raids was on 28 March 845, when Paris was sacked and held ransom, probably by Ragnar Lodbrok, who left only after receiving a large bounty paid by the crown. The weakness of the late Carolingian kings of France led to the gradual rise in power of the Counts of Paris; Odo, Count of Paris, was elected king of France by feudal lords, and the end of the Carolingian empire came in 987 when Hugh Capet, count of Paris, was elected king of France. Paris, under the Capetian kings, became a capital once more.Middle Ages to 18th centuryParis's population was around 200,000[15] when the Black Death arrived in 1348, killing as many as 800 people a day; and 40,000 died from the plague in 1466.[16] During the 16th and 17th centuries, plague visited the city for almost one year out of three.[17] Paris lost its position as seat of the French realm during the occupation by the English-allied Burgundians during the Hundred Years' War, but regained its title when Charles VII of France reclaimed the city from English rule in 1436. Paris from then on became France's capital once again in title, but France's real centre of power would remain in the Loire Valley until King Francis I returned France's crown residences to Paris in 1528.During the French Wars of Religion, Paris was a stronghold of the Catholic party. In August 1572, under the reign of Charles IX, while many noble Protestants were in Paris on the occasion of the marriage of Henry of Navarre – the future Henry IV – to Margaret of Valois, sister of Charles IX, the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre occurred; beginning on 24 August, it lasted several days and spread throughout the country.In 1590 Henry IV unsuccessfully laid siege to the city in the Siege of Paris. During the Fronde, Parisians rose in rebellion and the royal family fled the city (1648). King Louis XIV then moved the royal court permanently to Versailles, a lavish estate on the outskirts of Paris, in 1682. After this, Paris was no longer the largest city in Western Europe.19th centuryParis was occupied by Russian and Allied armies upon Napoleon's defeat on the 31 March 1814; this was the first time in 400 years that the city had been conquered by a foreign power.[25] The ensuing Restoration period, or the return of the monarchy under Louis XVIII (1814–1824) and Charles X, ended with the July Revolution Parisian uprising of 1830. The new 'constitutional monarchy' under Louis-Philippe ended with the 1848 "February Revolution" that led to the creation of the Second Republic.Throughout these events, cholera epidemics in 1832 and 1850 ravaged the population of Paris; the 1832 epidemic alone claimed 20,000 of the population of 650,000.The greatest development in Paris's history began with the Industrial Revolution creation of a network of railways that brought an unprecedented flow of migrants to the capital from the 1840s. The city's largest transformation came with the 1852 Second Empire under Napoleon III; his préfet, Baron Haussmann, levelled entire districts of Paris' narrow, winding medieval streets to create the network of wide avenues and neo-classical façades that still make up much of modern Paris; the reason for this transformation was twofold, as not only did the creation of wide boulevards beautify and sanitize the capital, it also facilitated the effectiveness of troops and artillery against any further uprisings and barricades for which Paris was so famous.
Drilling (opening/alignment/widening) of numerous streets under the Second Empire and the Third Republic.The Second Empire ended in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871), and a besieged Paris under heavy bombardment surrendered on 28 January 1871. The discontent of Paris' populace with the new armistice-signing government seated in Versailles resulted in the creation of the Paris Commune government, supported by an army created in large part of members of the city's former National Guard who would both continue resistance against the Prussians and oppose the army of the "Versaillais" government. The Paris Commune ended with the Semaine Sanglante ("Bloody Week"), during which roughly 20,000 "Communards" were executed before the fighting ended on 28 May 1871.[28] The ease with which the Versaillais army overtook Paris owed much to Baron Haussmann's renovations.France's late 19th-century Universal Expositions made Paris an increasingly important centre of technology, trade, and tourism.[29] Its most famous were the 1889 Exposition universelle to which Paris owes its "temporary" display of architectural engineering progress, the Eiffel Tower, which remained the world's tallest structure until 1930; the 1900 Universal Exposition saw the opening of the first Paris Métro line.20th centuryDuring World War I, Paris was at the forefront of the war effort, having been spared a German invasion by the French and British victory at the First Battle of the Marne in 1914. In 1918–1919, it was the scene of Allied victory parades and peace negotiations. In the inter-war period, Paris was famed for its cultural and artistic communities and its nightlife. The city became a gathering place of artists from around the world, from exiled Russian composer Stravinsky and Spanish painters Picasso and Dalí to American writer Hemingway.On 14 June 1940, five weeks after the start of the Battle of France, an undefended Paris fell to German occupation forces. The Germans marched past the Arc de Triomphe on the 140th anniversary of Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Marengo.[31] German forces remained in Paris until the city was liberated in August 1944 after a resistance uprising, two and a half months after the Normandy invasion.[32] Central Paris endured World War II practically unscathed, as there were no strategic targets for Allied bombers (train stations in central Paris are terminal stations; major factories were located in the suburbs).In the post-war era, Paris experienced its largest development since the end of the Belle Époque in 1914. The suburbs began to expand considerably, with the construction of large social estates known as cités and the beginning of the business district La Défense. A comprehensive express subway network, the RER, was built to complement the Métro and serve the distant suburbs, while a network of freeways was developed in the suburbs, centred on the Périphérique expressway encircling the city.[33][34][35]Since the 1970s, many inner suburbs of Paris (especially the northern and eastern ones) have experienced deindustrialization, and the once-thriving cités have gradually become ghettos for immigrants and experienced significant unemployment.[36][37] At the same time, the city of Paris (within its Périphérique expressway) and the western and southern suburbs have successfully shifted their economic base from traditional manufacturing to high-value-added services and high-tech manufacturing, generating great wealth for their residents whose per capita income is among the highest in Europe.[38][39][40] The resulting widening social gap between these two areas has led to periodic unrest since the mid-1980s, such as the 2005 riots which were concentrated for the most part in the northeastern suburbs.21st centuryA massive urban renewal project, the Grand Paris (Greater Paris), was launched in 2007 by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.[42] It consists of various economic, cultural, housing, transport and environmental projects to reach a better integration of the territories and revitalise the metropolitan economy. The most emblematic project is the construction by 2025 of a new automatic metro, which will consist of 150 km of rapid-transit lines connecting the Grand Paris regions to one another and to the centre of Paris.Nevertheless, the Paris metropolitan area is still divided into numerous territorial collectivities and their fusion into a more integrated metropolis government, although sometimes discussed is not on the agenda.[44] An ad-hoc structure, Paris Métropole, has however been established in June 2009 to coordinate the action of 184 "Parisian" territorial collectivities.In an effort to boost the global economic image of metropolitan Paris, several skyscrapers (300 m (984 ft) and higher) have been approved since 2006 in the business district of La Défense, to the west of the city proper, and are scheduled to be completed by the early 2010s. Paris authorities also stated publicly that they are planning to authorise the construction of skyscrapers within the city proper by relaxing the cap on building height for the first time since the construction of the Tour Montparnasse in the early 1970s.

Hello there! Today is a busy day (when isn't it really) as I have my niece Mollie all morning and a party tonight for the lovely Jane. Luckily I am all prepped for the party and good to go.
Today I am sharing a card I made for some friends birthdays last week. Until I started to list the products I hadn't quite realised how many different things I had used on this card.
I am really enjoying using the Endless Birthday Wishes set, its a great all round little set with LOTS of different sentiments and just a couple of images. It's the perfect little starter stamp set and a great one to practise your colouring techniques. I used the Blender Pens and ink pads which is probably my favourite method of colouring a small image.
Have you seen the Expressions Natural Elements that I used on here, a little bit of texture and great addition to your projects. Easy to adhere to your make with just a little bit of Tombow distributed across the back.
Hope you like this make and it might inspire you to use your Endless Birthday Wishes set.
Thanks to everyone who shopped online with me in June and used my Online Code. I have now opened a new code for July which is

38 comments
I have such THIN and FINE hair it stinks! - luckily it has a curl to it so I just do the beachy wavy thing pretty much everyday = my summer do is a messy top bun when i'm not in work :o)ReplyDelete
Absolutley LOVE these hairstyles! I really need to learn how to curl my hair. I want that Victoria's secret/Kardashian look lol. I will check out that tutorial. I have one of those clip free curlers but I do not use it right... I always just make my hair look like a mess. Lol Thanks for the inspirations!ReplyDelete
I love the pulled back bun look plus it's like my go to hairstyle on day 3 of no hair washing ;-) That fishtail is so cute! I remember my mom use to do my hair like that when I was little and naturally it is coming back. You have the most gorgeous hair I'm sure you can master any of these! xoxoxoReplyDelete
i've covered a few of these on the blog already, and plan on doing more soon!ReplyDelete
I've been trying to master the VS curls and the poofy ponytail forever. I've failed every time so if you figure it out, let me know! I do the sock bun whenever I don't feel like doing my hair but I think my sock is a little worn out... I should probably buy one of those sock bun things instead of using a real sock. I can do the fishtail braid (I learned from the Lauren Conrad video LOL) but my hair is SO thin it looks silly. I bet it would look amazing on you because your hair is so gorgeous! Good luck!ReplyDelete
<3, Pamela
Love these! The perfectly soft curls are amazing... wish I could do that!ReplyDelete
i have yet to master the sock bun. i feel like i just look ridiculous!ReplyDelete
I want to figure out the pony with curls! Whenever the pony happens my hair is pretty lackluster. Teach me if you can do it on your hair!ReplyDelete
My tip for you for VS hair is Velcro rollers! I always use Velcro rollers for a special night out or big occasion. First I curl my hair, then I wrap it in the roller to set for however long it needs until it's cool. Then I take it all down, and there you go! The curls are perfect and last all night.ReplyDelete
I love all of these!! Your hair is so gorgeous I think they will all look amazing on you!! I didn't read the VS tutorial but what works for me to get more of the touseled look is to use a large barrel curling iron. The sock bun and fish tail are such easy go tos! I haven't mastered the poof pony yet, but I think that's more bc it makes my forehead look bigger than it already is haha!ReplyDelete
<3 Shannon

That ponytail IS gorgeous! I think spring is time for me to let go of the everyday bun or braid and try out some new hair styles!ReplyDelete
These are such gorgeous hair styles, yet I couldn't replicate either of them. Every attempt I've ever made to style my hair turned out disastrous or simply fell apart in minutes. This is one craft I'll never be able to master.ReplyDelete
I rock a ponytail more than I would like to admit but if I could get it to look as gorgeous as that one you posted I would happily tell the world! I am going to try it out asap!ReplyDelete
I would LOVE to learn how to fishtail braid. I'm scared it would end in an epic tantrum though! hahaReplyDelete

I wish i could make my pony tail look as full as the one above! no amount of day old hair, dry shampoo or teasing would make that a possibility for me :-)ReplyDelete

Have you ever tried using one of those bun things to make a perfect sock bun type style? I use those alot and your arms won't get sore because it literalyl takes two seconds! :)ReplyDelete
I always wear the VS tousled curl look and I swear the secret is the type of curling iron you use! I have the Sultra Bombshell curling wand and it's amazing! My hair is crazy thick and long and I can still curl my whole head in about 20 minutes, which is super fast for me. It takes an hour to straighten in.ReplyDelete
I read and respond to each and every one of your comments via email! Thank you for taking the time to read!

Iraqi Christians are often targeted by Islamists but are finding some support.
Shiite tribal leaders attend Christmas mass at an Assyrian orthodox church in Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2007. The church, which is located next to a Shiite mosque, hosted their neighbors for Christmas mass as a gesture of friendship.

Islamists kidnapped the 65 year-old Chaldean archbishop of Mosul today after opening fire on the car he was traveling in.
3 others were killed in the attack.
Reuters reported:

Gunmen kidnapped the Chaldean Catholic archbishop of Mosul on Friday in the northern Iraqi city and killed his driver and two companions, police said.
"He was kidnapped in the al-Nour district in eastern Mosul when he left a church. Gunmen opened fire on the car, killed the other three and kidnapped the archbishop," said provincial police spokesman Brigadier-General Khaled Abdul Sattar.
An assistant to Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly, the Chaldean patriarch of Baghdad and spiritual leader of Iraq's Catholics, said they had heard that three people had been killed and they did not know the fate of the archbishop, Paulos Faraj Rahho.
A number of Christian clergy have been kidnapped or killed, and churches bombed in Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Last June gunmen murdered Catholic priest Ragheed Aziz Kani and three assistants in Mosul, 240 miles north of Baghdad, after stopping his car near a church in the eastern part of the city.

HISD Superintendent Terry Grier said today that he wouldn't rule out a student as the hacker who gained access to district employees' bank records and students' grades.
Grier emphasized that he doesn't know who was responsible or whether multiple people were involved. A criminal investigation, with FBI involvement, continues, he said.
"I can't speculate that this wasn't a kid that hacked in," Grier said this morning during one of his regular discussions with reporters. "But I can't sit here and tell you it was. … We have very bright students in our school district, and we have students who are very tech-savvy."
As we've blogged about, HISD officials have said they've questioned some students at Pin Oak Middle School, where the hacking is thought to have originated, either on campus or via remote access. Employees discovered the hack in October.
Grier also shared some new information about how the hacking occurred, saying the cyber-intruder used a tool known as "tunneling software" to gain access to the system. He wouldn't dish anymore.

CX Fail:
I tipped into the first bit of trail with a bit of pace, remembering to hold a wide line to avoid the worst of the rocks, but moments later my tubeless tyre had a gash too big for the sealant to fix. Shit.
I took my time putting in a tube, then rolled up to the pump track to get some flow. As I rounded to complete my first lap there was a solid bump and then again my front tyre was rolling around the rim bereft of air.
I gave patching the twin holes in the tube a go, but they didn't even pretend to hold air, leaving me to call a maxi cab to get home.

cPanel has released one of the their new exciting feature and lets you use that feature both as an end-user and as a server administrator. It allows you to restore an individual file from an account backup. This interface displays all of the files and directories in a backup file and is known as file restoration interface. This interface only permits you to restore items from local backup files. The File Restoration interface only shows the WHM-generated backup files.
In order to restore a file from an account backup, first you must have backups done already. In order to enable the backups, log into the WHM account and direct to the WHM as a root user, or as a root-enabled reseller, and then direct to the Backup Configuration interface. There you can select the backup list and select the users you want to have backups.
This interface is too similar to both the WHM and cPanel. In order to access your backups, direct to the "File Restoration" option in cPanel. If you do not find the file restoration option in cPanel then ask your server administrator to confirm that the "Backup Manager" feature has been added to your account. After doing this, just go through the following steps in order to restore a file:-
The new cPanel file restoration interface helps you in restoring the existing backed up files from other accounts. Most importantly you can avail this interface being both as a server administrator or as an end user.
