Food being one of the basic needs of man, most of his activities is centered on procuring it. It amazes one to know how food can influence a person's relationships and his interaction with those around him.
From here food moves on from being something that can put off hunger to being a healer. The adage given by our ancestors, "Use a thorn to draw a thorn" holds immense meaning. Food eaten may be the root cause of the disease while the cure would also lie in the sphere of food itself. Hence, good nutrition and a balanced diet are the best medicines in our hands. Somewhere along the line we have started placing undue importance on taste over good health causing the tongue to lead us to our tomb!
Disease can be easily prevented through proper nutrition, exercise, herbal supplements, detoxification and stress reduction. But in today's day, many foods you eat could be the cause of your health problems - even if they are healthy ones. Nearly every disease that plagues modern man begins with what is on our plate. Most people are digging their own graves with a knife and fork. What is healthy for one may be unhealthy or even toxic for another person who has a different body type, different health disorders and other unique set of issues. The definition of "healthy food" varies from person to person, because every person is unique. Thus a broad general statement such as "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" does not help. Who should eat it, when and how - all matter.
In Diet Counseling your JS Expert will give you detailed guidance on what not to eat and why, what to eat, why to eat and when and how to eat it. If you choose to take JS natural holistic treatments, this detailed dietary guidance works hand-in-hand with your natural JS therapy to give you optimal results in a short time. Continuing to adhere to these guidelines will provide lasting relief from your current health problems and prevent new disease. Even healthy persons can avail of this valuable guidance to maintain health and well being over a long period of time.
1. Regular Diet Counseling
As part of your Jeevan Sanjeevani therapy to provide faster and lasting results.
2. Divine Diet Counseling
For those who are spiritually inclined and wish to eat a disciplined diet as part of their holistic growth in mind-body-spirit.
Diet counseling is an ongoing process and your Diet Counselor will build a life-long relationship with you to counsel you periodically as you go through various changes in your life and face the vicissitudes of time. The sessions may be in person, online or telephonic depending on your location and convenience. The no. of sessions held in person or online will be at the sole discretion of your JS Diet Counselor. After the first session your diet will be regularly and closely monitored by your counselor to check compliance with the guidelines and also to rectify any mistakes in practical application of the dietary advice provided.
1ST SESSION : : What not to Eat:
The food you eat is not just calories that give you energy and fuel your body…
It is information, cellular fuel, immune support, free-radical defense, detoxification, hormonal balance, and glowing, supple skin… all wrapped up in a delicious, disease-fighting package.
That is, if you're eating the right foods.
Your Diet Counselor will have you maintain a diet diary for about 7-14 days prior to the first meeting. During the meeting your Counselor will do a pulse exam and study your skin and face carefully to determine your body type and the deep seated health issues, some of which may even be undiagnosed at that point. Your diet diary will be studied and based on your body type and health goals, you may be asked to discontinue certain foods. Your counselor will explain to you why the said foods are not right for you.
In the twenty-first century we have progressed in our scientific knowledge tremendously, but our genes are still millions of years old and require the same ancient basic nutrition based on some immutable principles. Unfortunately, our basic food chain (air, water, food) has been badly corrupted. Our food has been altered, genetically modified, and chemically laced from the pure food our ancestors ate; hence, the increase of cancers, heart diseases, diabetes, auto-immune diseases, allergies and many other chronic diseases. Thus it is important to eat pure, organic unadulterated foods that are right for you, in order to achieve optimal health, energy and happiness.
Hence during the first meeting your Diet Counselor will also provide vital information about the rampant adulteration in the food industry and how it could be contributing to your health problems.
Sometimes you may be eating the best foods but due to wrong combination these become harmful to us rather than beneficial. Hence it is desirable that one should understand the laws of food combination and their scientific basis. Many are falling under the sting of this vicious deception, believing that we can put anything and everything together, as long as it is good for us/tastes good and we will be fine. This is very wrong. Improper food combination hinders mind and body development and health.
In Holistic Diet Counseling we offer a logical and scientific approach for determining correct diet based upon an individual's constitution. Vata, pitta and kapha; the tri-dosha, are the elements which comprise individual constitution. A person's genetics (family history), lifestyle and work also influence his body's needs. This approach is quite different from the "traditional" view of a balanced diet; viz., eating daily from the basic food groups; meat, dairy, fruit, grains and vegetables. Medical science recommends having so much protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, micronutrients etc. However, just fulfilling that number is not enough. Such a generalized scheme is insufficient to lead us to the path of good health.
There are five types of nutritional disorders:
1. Quantitative dietary deficiency: This includes under-nutrition due to insufficient food, and even starvation. This also includes lack as a result of certain groups of foods missing in certain diets.
2. Qualitative dietary deficiency: This includes wrong food combination which results in malnutrition, toxic condition and lack of essential nutrients. Also the source, purity and where the nutrition is being derived from affects this.
3. Qualitative and quantitative over-nutrition: This includes emotional /stress-induced overeating which can result in obesity and/or high cholesterol which can lead in some cases to hypertension, heart attacks or strokes for example.
4. Toxins in food: Certain foods and food combinations lead to toxemia and to certain digestive disorders. Poorly stocked raw materials, poorly stored foods, poor quality foods and poorly planned combinations of foods can all lead to sometimes subtle toxicity without an immediate discernible effect on health.
5. Foods not suitable to one's constitution: may affect natural resistance/immunity, affect digestive power and cause disease.
One should eat according to one's constitution and take fruits, starches, proteins and fats with proper planning at different times of the day. When one eats an incompatible combination of foods, nature flashes a distress signal in the form of indigestion, acid reflux (acidity), fermentation, putrefaction, belching, vomiting, loose motions or diarrhea or constipation and gas formation. This condition, if prolonged, can lead to toxemia and disease complex.
One's diet should change with the seasons, age and with the place they live in.
The primary reason why people fall sick when seasons change or when they travel or relocate, is that we continue doing the same thing, eating the same foods day after day. We are heedless to the gentle hints from Nature which suggests we change our habits with the seasons just as the flora and fauna around us do.
Holistic Diet Counseling with JeevanSanjeevani teaches you the art of having seasonal food – which means adapting yourself, and your lifestyle to remain in sync with nature for optimal health through all seasons.
Not only that, but our diet continues to be the same year after year even as we grow older. The child, adolescent, adult and seniors in the house, all eat pretty much the same food. This is inappropriate. Every age group has its own nutritional needs which have to be met with a customized diet.
During childhood our digestive ability is at its peak. Hence, rich nutritional diet consumed will be optimally digested, the nutrients will help one grow to our maximum genetic potential and also be saved in the body as reserves for several years to come.
The adolescent also has a fairly strong constitution or digestive ability and needs nutrients particularly to nourish the brain and nervous system to deal with the stress and intellectual demands of modern day education as well a significant hormonal changes occurring in the body.
As it ages the body needs more frequent maintenance and rejuvenation in order to keep it functioning optimally. As the human body grows older, tissue regeneration and metabolism slows down. Your physique loses a lot of its natural ability to burn calories quickly. Over the age of 40 the body has lesser capacity to absorb and assimilate nutrients. All this manifests into an older looking body, hormone imbalance, lack of interest in life, depression and diminished libido. A carefully designed anti-aging diet is required to combat this aging process.
In senior years with the downward trend of the body's functions, the diet has to be modified accordingly to provide the right nutrition while causing minimal strain on the organs.
Further dietary requirements will vary based on a person's nature of work, stress-level, environment, genetics and other factors. These factors are carefully studied during Holistic Diet counseling to provide the most suitable diet plan for you.
Your JeevanSanjeevani Diet Expert guides you not only on the right foods to eat but also on:
- The right time to eat particular foods
- The right quantity to eat
- Right combination of foods
- Right method of preparation that is customized for you
- Variety of preparations of the same food given that variety is the spice of life
- Modifying diet as per the changes in seasons & environment
- Alternatives to certain forbidden foods
- Providing pure, natural, genuinely organic and chemical free food products
For e.g say you love rice. But rice is not suitable for your body type or found to aggravate your health problems, your expert provides food suggestions that provide the same taste and satisfaction as you derive from rice. Alternatively, the expert might suggest certain types of rice, and suggest ways and timings to eat that rice for optimal digestion and absorption in your system without adversely affecting your health.
Thus Diet counseling provides knowledge that indicates which activities and eating habits are appropriate and inappropriate, what brings happiness and sorrow, as well as what increases the measure of life itself. Nutritional requirements vary per person, depending upon body type, season, environment and place. Hence your Expert creates an individualized nutritional plan depending upon your body type and disease process, along with yoga, breathing exercises, herbal or nutritional supplements for achieving optimal health.
We can provide diet counseling online and in person. To request an appointment or get more information please contact us. Enter subject line as "Diet Counseling".

The Surprising Porn Categories That Get People Off the Fastest
We know a lot about how people look at porn. A weird amount, actually. Like that a huge number of people stop watching porn when Game of Thrones is on. Now, thanks to Pornhub, we have a pretty good idea about what kinds of porn hold viewers' attention and what might get people off the fastest.
In a new release of data, the site looked at what categories of pornography visitors look at the longest and shortest. Their data compares each category to the average amount of time a user spends on the site: nine minutes and 20 seconds.
It gets a little complicated in terms of analysis. What makes a category "better"? A longer viewing time means that people are sticking around to really... soak up the scenery. On the other hand, a quick exit might not mean that the viewer dislikes the category, though it does mean that sometimes. It could mean that the videos in that category are helping get the deed done a little more quickly.
So what are people watching and how much of it are they watching?
Each of the above categories is arranged in relation to the average time spent on the site. "Old/Young" and "Mature" are the categories that keep playing the longest, ranging from two minutes to a minute and a half longer than the average viewing time. Pornhub notes that those categories are most popular with users over the age of 45. As a demographic people over 45 tend to use the site longer than the average user at large. That may account, to some extent, for the"popularity" of these categories.
After those two it's "Gay" and "Amateur" that keep people around the longest, both holding viewers for over minute longer than average.
At the bottom, it's "Redhead" followed by "Hentai," "Blonde," and "College." Each of those categories clocks in at least two minutes and 20 seconds lower than the average. Pornhub notes that many of the categories near the bottom are less popular categories in general, but that there are some of the site's more popular categories clocking in with a less than the average amount of viewing time as well. "Lesbian" and "Cartoon" are two categories that are very popular, but are holding attention at a below average rate. That means that there isn't necessarily a correlation between a category's popularity and its ability to hold viewer attention.
Pornhub also compared the category usage of men versus women, the latter of which comprises 24 percent of the site's traffic. The above chart shows how much longer or shorter women watch particular categories versus men.
"Hentai" tops the list, followed by "Blonde" and "Squirt." All three of these may not represent the videos that women watch the longest, since this is a comparison and all three categories ranked very low for men.
At the other end, "Handjob" and "Solo Men" are the categories that hold women's attention the least in comparison to men. Both of those categories were ranked below average for men to start off with, so they're really not holding the attention of women.
Men, you may want to take note of that.

Hemp For Pets
It seems to me that nearly everyone is trying to become more ecologically friendly these days (which is awesome). Just because you are going green does not mean you necessarily have to believe in global warming. Besides, even if global warming was not an issue, then becoming eco friendly is still very much worth your while. It will benefit your overall health and longevity just by making a conscious effort to reduce the amounts of chemical substances and harmful toxins you introduce into your body, our atmosphere and water. Reusing means reducing the amount of waste delivered to our landfills on a daily basis. It is super easy to start doing this. You can start just by utilizing natural cleaners made from biodegradable materials, recycling and even just fixing something that is broken. Try getting a little more life out of it instead of just hucking it right straight into the trash. These simple little changes can be significantly less toxic to our bodies, environment and even nature's beasts. You can even get eco friendly with your pets as well. Here are a number of things for you to consider when thinking about your loving pet and our environment.
Invest in an eco friendly pet bed: There are numerous companies that produce pet beds with environmentally friendly materials and others who incorporate recycled materials into their products. Many companies also employ hemp, which is a herb that is gathered for its invaluable fibers which are also utilized to fabricate textiles. These materials be used to create such things as pet beds, collars, leashes, clothing and chew toys. This stellar plant has been in use for centuries. No pesticide sprays are needed for growing this durable and hearty plant, and it is also very readily regrown and harvested, within 3-4 months and even in near famine conditions. Organically grown cotton is an additional natural source used in the manufacture of pet beds. Many companies utilize recycled plastic pop bottles when constructing their pet beds. This process is done by cleaning and disinfecting the recycled bottles, and then these bottles are sliced up into flakes, melted and liquefied then re-manufactured as fibers.
When you invest in these sorts of planet friendly pet beds, you can feel good about re-utilizing these recycled products. And also know you are incorporating natural resources such as hemp, which is nontoxic and can be produced using minimal amounts of toxins and is readily renewable. These environmentally friendly beds are manufactured from top quality components and are very long lasting. Therefore, they will help you save money in the long run. They are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and also come in a great number of beautiful colors. Some manufacturers will even customize your very own bumper bed, according to your preference in color and size.
Incorporate environ-friendly playthings: As I know from my personal experiences, most animals can get a lot of pleasure from playing with toys. So why not take a little extra time and find your fuzzy, furry or feathered friend an eco friendly toy or game? Many of these playthings are manufactured using renewable materials and some of which utilize up to 85% reused fibers, and some are even crammed full with a fiber fill made from recycled pop bottles and plastic containers. These Earth-friendly toys are available in a vast array of shapes, sizes and colors that will have your little buddy emitting energy all over the place. And when these toys are crafted from the hemp fibers they are more durable and when worn out can be added to the compost pile or bin.
Think reclaimed pet clothes: If your good buddy gets dressed up on occasion on cold winter days, then you should consider ways your pet can conveniently go green and invest in recycled material pullovers and overcoats. With a little effort, you can come across (or even make) some truly nice animal duds that are manufactured from reclaimed wool, organic cotton or some other fine material. Many of which you may already have collecting dust in a closet or lingering in a drawer. Using these reclaimed fibers is a wonderful way to do your part and give the world a little pat on the back. So by employing these simple methods, new cotton does not need to be grown or bleached, thus ensuring our planet gets a smaller dose of these nasty chemicals used in the farming and manufacture. Also, you can feel good about helping preserve our drinking water and farmland.
Also consider homeopathic remedies for your beloved pet: In general most flea and tick collars and dips are extremely noxious for your pets and also for the environment. I know I would rather not take a bath in poisonous water or strap a poison necklace on just to avoid bugs. You can utilize natural herbs, vinegar, essential oils, hemp oil and many other natural materials. Your animal will certainly be much healthier and likely happier if it does not have to be subjected to harmful toxins, likewise I think you will be too.
There are lots and lots of ways to go greener, whether you believe that global warming exists or not. Being environmentally conscientious is simply just good manners. It has many benefits for our atmosphere and our planets health as well as our own. Additionally using reclaimed fibers makes excellent sense for your animals and using natural materials like hemp makes even more sense.
Apart from just being a good friend to the environment you can conserve your hard earned duckets by reusing, re-purposing, utilizing highly renewable hempen fibers, reduce the amount of garbage you send to the dump (even if it is just by a small amount) and stay healthier. And nowadays, getting green is even viable for our oh, so loved creatures as well.

In 2000 Ed Harris earned his first "Best Actor in a Leading Role" Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Jackson Pollock, the iconic American abstract-expressionist painter. The romantic portrayal of an alcohol-driven bohemian seems like a mythical, mid-20th-century moment when artists were focused on art and not the latest triennial or Twitter trend. Well, a hint of that bygone feeling has returned and is currently on view at Steven Wolf Fine Arts in San Francisco. From the exhibition statement:
CLUB PAINT is back after exhibitions at White Columns in New York and Prospect 1.5 in New Orleans with MORE PAINTINGS. The three-person collective makes garishly primitive figurative works that tweak modern masters and openly court bad taste. Imagine if John Waters got Henri Matisse to storyboard the script for Pink Flamingos and you have some idea how CLUB PAINT would like to decorate your house. The collective, now entering its fourth year, has neither slowed its production nor made concessions to a pseudo emotional maturity. This new crop of works are the most confident and self-assured yet. They feature girls in cat suits, sad old queens, DINOSAURS, vertiginous abstractions, and marble heads on columns contemplating paintings of marble heads on columns. CLUB PAINT is Isaac Gray, Erin Allen and Keith Boadwee.
I sat down with Keith Boadwee, one third of the collaborative trio known as CLUB PAINT, to learn more about San Francisco, painting, and same-sex marriage.
People outside San Francisco have an idea that it's a gay city. Do you agree with that? Do you find that the San Francisco audience views your work through a gayer lens?
Yes, San Francisco is a very gay city, but definitely not as overtly gay as when I first started visiting here in the early '80s. Queers are definitely much more "assimilated" in this town now than they were back then, though still very visible. I think my earlier work and my "solo" work, in general, appeals to queers in a big way. Of course, it is great to see someone making fun of the ever-present "straight, white, guy" that dominates art culture. I really gained some notoriety during the rise of "identity art" in the early '90s, and women, people of color, and queers really gained a lot of ground at that time; there's more room for all of us now. One wouldn't be hard-pressed to find examples of successful queer artists, but if you look at the bigger picture, I think that you'd find that the bulk of the power and money still rests in the hands of the patriarchal "old guard" of "straight, white guys."
What are your thoughts on same-sex marriage?
Same-sex marriage is good. I got married when the brief window of opportunity opened here in California. It's obvious gays should have equal civil rights. The "marriage" thing is complicated. I have a big issue with "assimilation" and don't want to be perceived as an "assimilator." I think one of the great things about queer culture is our "otherness." I feel like I know so many younger gay men whose goal it is to mimic the heteronormative paradigm. On the other hand, I know so many older gay men who can't fathom the whole marriage thing at all. They feel that they fought to be free from the societal restraints of marriage and children. I could say I don't care about being married, but there's also the punk-rock part of me that thinks, "You say I can't get married? Watch me!" Ultimately, I do care about the legal protection that marriage affords gay couples. I've seen too many friends treated poorly and stripped of money and property by homophobic families. I'd be OK with it being called "civil union" if it was legally equal to "marriage." I find the religious connotations of that word to be problematic.
Can you describe your experience with "collaboration"?
Collaborating with CLUB PAINT has been a joy. I was hesitant at first. I thought it would be really difficult. If you think about it, being an artist is really all about being an auteur. People look to you to express a unique and singular point of view or aesthetic. It has been hard for people, particularly artists, to understand how we do it. I think most people think of it as each artist making their "part" of the picture, but it's not like that at all. What we've done is create a new vocabulary together that exists as a separate identity outside of all of us. There are sometimes disagreements over individual pictures or curatorial choices. These conflicts create tension, and like any good "band," this creative conflict is what often drives the project and makes it good. Conversely, there are many times when our "band" is just having a blast and "riding the wave."
One might think that artwork that includes images like penises and nude bodies must be read as overtly sexual. Do you think the paintings in the show are about sex? Is sex a metaphor for something else?
I do think the paintings in this show are about sex. I don't think sex in our paintings is a metaphor for something else. We are not a prudish club. We like to put everything on the table. I hope that these pictures are a small blow against sexual repression.
Do you have any advice for me on how to approach CLUB PAINT's paintings?
There's no advice, really, to tell someone how to look at the work. I actually think these works are very accessible. They're humorous, and they're figurative, so there's a lot there for almost anyone to latch onto. These paintings are also riffing on art history and historical modes of painting. Anyone familiar with the modernist cannon of painters will appreciate these on a much deeper level. But that can be said about any art form, right? A deeper understanding of the history of a particular form will bring an enriched reading to the viewer of the contemporary practitioner. While an educated viewer might understand the work on many more levels than an uneducated viewer, I'd never want to eliminate the audience that isn't bringing that type of education to the table. Ultimately, while I can't speak for CLUB PAINT, I like to think of myself as an elitist and a populist. I hope I'd be safe in saying that we all share that perspective, but ultimately you'd have to ask Erin and Isaac for their answers to know if we are all in agreement on that topic.
MORE PAINTINGS is on view at Steven Wolf Fine Arts in San Francisco, Calif. from Feb. 24 to April 7. For more information visit stevenwolffinearts.com.

Grab a blank notebook, a manuscript already in progress, or open a new note in your phone. Each week, our publisher will give you a writing nudge. Write on...
January Week 1, 2017. Theme: TRANSITIONAL PLACE. Open a story by describing a new setting for your character. This is a scene of discovery for your character. They've never experienced this place until now.
Additional advice: For nonfiction prose and poetry, consider a place that was unfamiliar to you and describe that transformation--a new job, a home, moving to a different city, a new room, a park you wandered into, the first time you saw the ocean or mountains.
Week 5, January 2017. Theme: NERVOUS HABIT. Create a nervous habit for one of your characters. If not the main character, choose a minor character who needs more description in order to come alive in the story. This habit could add an element of humor and/or realism to your story. The habit could be a sound they make, an action toward themselves or others, or an inability to act. The habit could create a central conflict for the character (consider habits such as cutting, binge eating, and other forms of serious, repetitive self-harming). Likewise, the habit could be more of a side-note, something endearing and entertaining without being central to the conflict. Adding a habit could show more depth to a character or to the overall story.
Additional advice for nonfiction prose and poetry: Most of us have habits that we form as children and can spend a lifetime trying to break, but we also develop new habits as we age. Focus on your own personal habits. Journal until you express more about one of your particular habits than others. How did the opinions/reactions of others influence your habits as you were growing up? Are there habits that you hide and protect, keeping them a secret from the rest of the world?
The Nudge~
Click below for more writing prompts...
Weeks 10-18 Weeks 19-27 Weeks 28-37 Weeks 38-47 Weeks 48-60 Weeks 61-74
Week 9, March 2017. Theme: SMELL. Explore the sense of smell for one of your characters. Free-write about the variety of smells and your character's reactions. Take this beyond the typical, and consider how a character's sense of smell changes with the different seasons and how the seasons themselves have a variety of fragrances. What fragrances are pleasant to your character? Do certain scents cause the character to remember his/her past? Are some odors harmful or painful to your characters? Can you add humor to your story or scene by using smell? Consider how some fragrances change in meaning over time, and how cultures categorize scents in different ways. Also, notice how some people and animals are more keen observers of scent.
Additional advice for nonfiction prose and poetry: Explore one smell for a poem and try to capture the essence of that fragrance. If you have an additional poetic theme, consider writing a series of poems combining your existing theme with the concept of smell. For creative nonfiction, explore how the sense of smell can trigger memories and/or foretell reactions/events to come in the future.
Week 6, February 2017. Theme: ENRICHED SETTING. Enrich your story's setting by adding details about the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, textures, and languages found in the story's scenes beyond those expressed by your main character. Consider how much your main character might observe about the setting and/or elements in particular scenes without having a direct experience with those sights, sounds, smells, tastes, textures, and so on. You might want your character to focus on another character at least for a particular scene. Often, this observational stance of the main character can show a comparison/contrast between the main character and a minor character or someone simply passing through the scene of a book. These scenes could reveal how a main character views the setting as a whole or some particular element in the scene, such as a smell, taste, sound, etc. For example, perhaps your character is sensitive to the sound of someone slurping coffee, and you could show this in a scene by using a stranger at a restaurant or a lunch date with a friend, etc.
Additional advice for nonfiction prose and poetry: Choose a setting and a sense (taste, touch, smell, sight, sound) and fully write about each sense in that setting. How does your writing change if you focus on smell versus sight and so on? How does the sensory experience blend together in some settings/places more than others?
Week 2, January 2017. Theme: VALUE OBJECT. What is something deeply valuable to your character? Describe something that is important throughout the character's life. Choose a specific time in the character's life to first introduce this object, idea, story, and/or dream to the reader, but consider the full passage of time for the character.
Additional advice: For nonfiction prose and poetry: Is there an object, idea, story, dream that has recurring meaning throughout your life, something you can trace back into childhood and that might have changed in meaning for you over time as well.
Week 3, January 2017. Theme: CONFLICT EXPLORATION. Before writing the actual scenes, free-write and explore the central conflict for your main character. What does your main character most fear regarding the central conflict? What situations cause discomfort for the character and either foreshadow the scenes of central conflict and/or trigger the character (their actions, emotions, motives, etc.) in later scenes.
Additional advice for nonfiction prose & poetry: Write about a conflict that you knew was looming in your life based on foreboding events that preceded the conflict. How does this conflict continue to impact your life, especially in unpredictable ways?
The Weekly Writing elbow given by our publisher, straight from her prompt journal.
Week 8, February 2017. Tool: RESEARCH. Consider adding another layer to your story by adding actual historical information, data, political events, cultural events and trends, and/or architectural structures to specific settings in your story and/or the plot/events of the story as related to time period in history when the story takes place (or via flashbacks). If your story's time in history is current or futuristic, you could still include references to actual places and work in that information or create new places as if they have been established (in a futuristic work...think about the novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and how Orwell pulls this off). When you add any of the above styles, it's important not to sound like a textbook or tour guide style of book, so try to share this type of information in a creative way through a character's experience(s).
Additional advice for nonfiction prose and poetry: Explore a cultural practice that has changed over time and/or through the generations. Write about the shifting perspective of a cultural practice that's related to history and/or tradition.
BONUS NUDGE, Lunar New Year, January 2017.
Theme: FRAMING MOTIVE. Don't simply consider your narrator's motive for telling the story (or the main character's focus in a third person narrative), think about why they *need to tell the story and how they would frame it. Everyone frames their story just as they dress themselves in clothes, wear a uniform, and alter their appearance in some way. Framing stories is what we do when we tell them, but you get to construct this frame. Does it have flare? Is it simple and straightforward? How will you choose to present your story and why, oh why, is your narrator telling it in the first place? Somewhere in the beginning, you must give the reader a clue about that without giving away the entire story. The reader wants to feel driven to "know it all," so they need a hint about your motive, even if your narrator surprises them later.
Additional advice for nonfiction prose & poetry: Consider juxtaposing one story about your life with another time in your life and link the two by theme or symbol. For poetry, consider "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a way of framing a long, narrative poem. The mariner has a need to tell his story.
Week 7, February 2017. Tool: DIALOGUE to SHOW vs. TELL. Read through your story and find a scene in which your narrator tells the reader what happens instead of showing the reader. Often, we get comfortable with a narrative voice in a story and don't allow the characters to show their conversations. One way to accomplish this revision is to use dialogue in a scene where two characters interact, as this allows the characters to speak for themselves versus using a narrator's prose to describe/explain a scene to the reader.
Additional advice for nonfiction prose and poetry: Experiment with how you could use dialogue for emphasis. Consider writing in a specific, unique voice for an entire poem, or suddenly giving a voice to an inanimate object.

In the complications of wisdom teeth page on this site http://www.teethremoval.com/complications.html I have discussed cases of teeth being displaced into various places of the body. A tooth can also either be aspirated and end up in the respiratory tract or ingested and likely pass several days after being swallowed. Dental instruments can also break off during surgery and end up in various places of the body.
Some recent studies and cases have emerged for other dental procedures where foreign bodies were ingested. An article titled " Precautions for accidental ingestion of a foreign body," appears in J Can Dent Assoc 2013;79:d5, located over at http://www.jcda.ca/article/d5. This article describes a case where a 58 year old man underwent treatment for a dental crown and accidentally ingested a 20 mm stainless steel post intended to support the prosthesis. An imaging study revealed the post in the mid-abdomen and the patient, since he was not in distrust, was told to monitor for it to be passed. The patient never saw the post pass in his GI tract but subsequent imaging studies did not reveal it so it is presumed to have passed. This of course, opens up the possibility that maybe there is a better way to monitor a foreign body if it has been ingested to make sure it passes in the GI tract. This article cites another study conducted in 2011, Obinata K, Satoh T, Towfik AM, Nakamura M. An investigation of accidental ingestion during dental procedures. J Oral Sci. 2011;53(4):495-500.
This article presents 23 cases of accidental ingestion of foreign bodies occurring during dental procedures at the Center for Dental Clinics of Hokkaido University Hospital between 2006 and 2010. The authors found that most cases occurred when practitioners had less than 5 years of experience. Some of the cases of accidental ingestion presented include a scaler tip, a metal core, a metal crown, a metal onlay, and a bur. Three (3) of the 23 cases had to be retrieved by endoscopic procedures whereas the remaining 20 cases of passed through the GI tract within 10 days with no adverse events. It appears one case involved a wisdom tooth but it is not clear if it was being extracted or some other type of treatment was performed.
The authors mention that the incidence of accidental ingestion during dental procedures was found to be 0.0041% and 0.0044% at 2 prior dental colleges in Japan. In this study the number was found to be 0.0037% (case/patients) per year of accidental ingestion. The authors state
"Moreover, the occurrence (cases/dentists) per year was 0.018, being very close to the figure of 0.021 reported from 2 French insurance companies representing 24,651 French general dental practitioners over an 11-year period (1994-2004)."
Near the end of the study the author state
"In the treatment of molars, the present authors suggest inclining the head of the patient to one side to help catch objects in the buccal pouch. However, the best countermeasure is still meticulous care to fix burs tightly and to use dental instruments in the properly prescribed way. Additionally, practitioners can make patients aware of the possibility of dental objects dropping in such cases, and instruct them to spit out any dropped objects."
It appears that more foreign bodies are accidental ingested than aspirated. Further, most foreign bodies that are accidentally ingested are safely passed through the GI tract with 7 to 10 days.

Book Review: 'Death Spore' by Harry Adam Knight
5 / 5 Stars
Harry Adam Knight was the pseudonym used by the Australian author and film critic John Brosnan (1947 - 2005). Under his own name, or 'Simon Ian Childer' ( yet another pseudonym), Brosnan wrote a number of Splatterpunk horror novels during the 80s, including such gorehound faves as Slimer (1983), Carnosaur (1984), and Worm (1987).
Knight / Brosnan published The Fungus in 1985 as a paperback with UK publisher Star.
A hardcover version was published in 1989 by Franklin Watts.
The U.S. version of the book was retitled 'Death Spore' (256 pp) and published by Pinnacle Books in May, 1990. The cover artist is uncredited.
(Note: The reviews for The Fungus at amazon give away much of the plot - use caution when consulting them).
Whether it's titled The Fungus or Death Spore, this book is a fun read !
The novel is set in London in the mid-80s. Its opening chapters are a string of vignettes describing how various people become ill with horrible fungal diseases. The only link among them ? Contact with a glamorous blonde woman who is roaming the streets of the city.
As the hospitals see more and more cases of people suffering from drastic infections, suspicion grows that an epidemic has begun. But this is unlike any epidemic the world has ever seen before.
Barry Wilson, a former mycologist turned detective novel writer, may be the only one who can combat the epidemic. But as the social order breaks down under the strain of the epidemic, time is running out for Wilson.....and perhaps the entire world......
'Death Spore' makes no pretense of being a 'quiet' or 'literary' horror novel. To the contrary, it's very much in the vein of the classic James Herbert novel The Fog. Indeed, author Knight adopts the spare, clinical prose style of Herbert, with some well-timed moments of gross-outs and sarcastic humor.
Despite a fast-moving plot that has little time for Deep Musings, the lead characters are interesting, and their adventures engrossing.
If you're looking for a creepy-crawlies horror novel, one that sits comfortably on the shelves reserved for James Herbert, Shaun Hutson, and John Halkin, then you'll want a copy of 'Death Spore' !

Set on the middle floor of a 3 story building, Vision real-estate have set the bench mark for industrial style office space. With the use of the exposed concrete ceiling painted white, exposed cable management trays this really sets the tone for the industrial look. Softened by the use of timber lining boards on the raised office area and along the air-con bulk head.
The old concrete floor received a heavy grind and three coats of polyurethane clear.
All boundary windows where replaced with black aluminium and double glazed. Internal partition walls are black steel frame construction.

gritty, my old friend. hello, 'ello you fucking scratching things. i remember the walls and the pain of it but i couldn't cut you out. we can bless each other in fallacy, but i refuse to not feel rough tears and forensic emotions we buried in a box of scarred fears. we reuse those old habits as if half smoked cigarettes will really satisfy. it's still nice to pretend we know how to care but more than I can bear, this burden of dropping homes and skipping stones across blurred visions that surround our losses. Bare that broken heart and collapsing mind, evangelical evocations ring clearly in and out of this place. i smell the hate that drives this damage and it makes me stupid drunk with paranoid afraid. who the fuck am i to say anything anymore? what's speech, when what's said is a stain, stigmata we've carved into our hands. cold steel barrels are deep dark mouths hungry for your empty bliss. i'd give it all back to find your tears on a letter in my pocket. days of yore yawn ahead and i have rinsed, repeated, repented. find us slowly, or not at all. we are still digging our way out of the morass of nonsensical predispositions. I find all of this pain fucking objectionable. i'm tired from the fall and i will call out for help, by God. i have to believe i know i'm not alone. so touch the scars and remember where to find that haven we've all dreamed about. Tattoo your words on this world and grab it by the throat, but gently, as if a lover. it's the only way to stay sane when broken. i wanted you to know that i lost, but found some twisted form of peace. i'm grateful that it was you. you know me though, i will refuse to stay down. i will arise and remember that broken can find fixing when acting on a love that's been gone too long. arise, that's a good place to start. pick up that dirty little hammer and do your worst boy. needles and preparation. i'm finally ready for absolution.

Hurricane Sandy: 41 dead as as authorities declare state of emergency
Adam Gabbatt, Tom McCarthy
Friday 26 October 2012
A state of emergency was declared in some areas along the US east coast on Friday as experts warned Hurricane Sandy could contribute to a storm of "historic" proportions.
The hurricane left 41 people dead as it passed through the Caribbean and headed north. Sandy could strike the US coastline anywhere between Virginia and Massachusetts as early as Monday.
Meteorologists warned that weather conditions could be complicated as Sandy is expected to meet two separate weather systems somewhere over the north-east United States, resulting in high winds, heavy rain, extreme tides and perhaps even snow.
"It's looking like a very serious storm that could be historic," said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the forecasting service Weather Underground. He compared the convergence of weather systems to the so-called "perfect storm" that struck off the coast of New England in 1991, although that storm hit a less populated area.
On Friday afternoon, the centre of the hurricane was moving slowly north around 430 miles south-southeast off the coast of South Carolina. Sandy was moving at 7mph with maximum sustained winds near 75mph. Forecasters said there was a 90% certainty that storm would make landfall on the east coast, althought it was too early to predict where it would come ashore.
Parts of Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba were left devastated as the hurricane swept over on Thursday and Friday, leaving at least 41 people dead. In Cuba, 11 people were killed in eastern Santiago and Guantanamo provinces, as authorities said Sandy was Cuba's deadliest storm since July 2005. One person died as Sandy passed through Jamaica and 16 were left dead in Haiti, where heavy rains from the storm's outer bands caused flooding in the impoverished and deforested country. A 66-year-old man died in the Bahamas after falling from his roof in upscale Lyford Cay late Thursday, as he attempted to repair a window shutter.'

This person's review of the iMac 27″ machine is dead on. I agree with everything he stated, in fact, it is as if I wrote the article!
Coming from using the Microsoft Windows OS since version 3.0, I can definitely say that the extra expense in getting a Mac is well worth it. In addition to the excellent hardware of the computer system, you get an OS that truly "just works". No more hassle with device drivers, annoying popup warnings, etc. All of Apple's apps that comes with the Macs all work together easily and nicely.
I still have to use a Windows NT machine for my day job, and I hate it more than ever. This morning I booted it up and had to wait for over 10 minutes for it to churn away and do its thing. The disk drive was thrashing around and I have no clue what its doing! Why does it take soooo long to boot up? It's all of this hassle that makes spending the extra money for a fast and efficient Mac very reasonable.

I've started the races on wool washing. As of now I have a pretty good start. I'm being extra careful to not let the wool sit and be forgotten for too long, as that seems to make the final fiber coarser. I have a finished batch drying, another in the degrease stage, and a third in the preliminary soaking.
In the meantime, quick, take a guess. What new knitting project have I plunged into? Anyone? Anyone?
It is not a garden hose cozy. I haven't quite gone off the deep end yet. I am merely dipping my toe in the water, so to speak. (Although I'm not doing it the toe-up way.) Behold the beginnings of a sock. And before you start pointing out that the yarn isn't one of mine, let me explain. I was going to try to knit my first socks out of handspun, but the only handspun yarn I had was too thick. My knitting sister very kindly shared from her stash, so while you see before you a completely commercial yarn, it is still a nice yarn. Could I have waited to spin my own? Of course not! When you have the urge, you knit.
The first bobbin of soysilk is off the wheel! I just love love love this stuff. Aside from plastering itself to my shirt and flinging tickly little filaments far and wide it's behaving beautifully.
I can hardly wait to see it plyed, and then to see it in indigo. I've been creating a list of things I want to indigo dye. Hopefully I'll have enough indigo and time to do them all. The soysilk is one, then I'll be doing a skein of silk (yet to be spun) for one of my sisters, and I'd love to dye some stash yarns (which also need to be spun), and perhaps I'll try dyeing some fleece locks for later use.
The biggest puzzle at the moment is where and with what to do the actual dye pot. Because of the nature of indigo I have a feeling it will be rather messy, so I really don't want to attempt doing it in the kitchen, although the air conditioning would be nice. That leaves outside. And unless I try heating the big pot on our gas grill, I don't have anything with which to bring the dye temperature up to where it needs to be.
A crock pot has suggested itself. As has the wild idea of a hot plate or camp stove. And I visited the old "build a fire" idea. Don't worry. There's very little chance of that last happening. For one thing our backyard isn't big enough. For another it will be summer and the heat would be terrible. So, I basically need a giant crock pot that has very finely tuned temperature controls. Anyone have one languishing in their basement? Borrowing the neighbor's hot tub is out of the question.

Recently I participated in my second Science Hack Day (SHD), in San Francisco in November 2011. What is a Science Hack Day, you ask? According to primary organiser Ariel Waldman: "The mission of Science Hack Day is to get excited and make things with science. A Hack Day is a 48-hour all-night event that brings together designers, developers, scientists and other geeks in the same physical space for a brief but intense period of collaboration, hacking, and building 'cool stuff'."
At this recent SHD you found groups hacking cell phones to operate as a distributed earthquake warning system, mixing up potable DNA cocktails, tracking the International Space Station on a modified desk globe, and simulating the cross-talk of sensory input that is synaesthesia. At my first SHD in Palo Alto in 2010, I brought data from the BaBar experiment that ran at SLAC from 1999-2008 and with the help of some enthusiastic volunteers, turned the detector information into sounds! We called this the Particle Physics Wind Chime, and after some more development in the months after, I turned it into a downloadable application complete with visual cues. I've used the Wind Chime as a hook for outreach efforts to explain what we (physicists) do.
This year, I was a bit more ambitious and wanted to see if I could enable enthusiastic amateurs to interface with high-energy physics data and perhaps do real science. At the very least, I hoped we would produce a cool outreach tool or two. CMS has made subsamples of the dataset available for education and outreach efforts and these data have been used in Masterclass events and in the I2U2 project, put together by the Quarknet team at FNAL. While I am not a CMS collaborator, I figured this would be an excellent test case to see if a generic particle physicist could provide an interface between these data and a very interested public. I had learned about these datasets from Kati Lassila-Perini, a CMS collaborator, at a recent Data Preservation in High Energy Physics (DPHEP) workshop. The DPHEP group is interested in finding solutions to enable HEP datasets to produce analysis and results long after the traditional lifetime of the experiment or collaboration. A primary interest of mine is encouraging the use of these datasets for education, outreach and training the next generation of particle physicists.
After a number of back-and-forth emails with two other CMS/Quarknet collaborators, Tom McCauley and Tom Jordan, I felt confident I could explain it to the hackers. At the Hack Day, there was considerable excitement and enthusiasm that I had brought with me "real LHC data", even among those who wound up working on other hacks. Our group consisted of an economist, computer engineers from some local software companies, a computer science student from Kenya, an artist, and other interested hackers who drifted in and out of our circle over the weekend. Everyone was super bright, but it is still non-trivial to condense a scientific analysis that may take more than a year, down to a 24-hour hack.
In the end, our group chose to create two visualisations of parts of the analysis process, and embed them in a website that would explain the process to the general public.
We decided to focus on:
In the end we just finished the projects and the site in the stipulated time. Unfortunately, you can see that we ran out of time in prettying up the site and links, but considering we hacked it together in about 24 hours, we were all quite proud of our efforts. At the final presentations of all the hacks, the SHD crowd were very interested in the visualisations. Though there was a bit of disappointment that our team had not found the Higgs. Oh well, maybe next year!
From my point of view, Science Hack Day is an excellent opportunity to interact with the public to whom we want to explain our work. I'm able to prototype and experiment with visuals and language with the very community that I want to engage. I also always wind up learning a lot from the more-professional computer programmers and designers who frequent these events. The hackers themselves learned a lot about science in general and high-energy physics in particular. I feel that I'm a virus who has benignly infected them with knowledge and enthusiasm about particle physics and the questions that we're trying to answer. Hopefully, they will go forth and spread this virus of enthusiasm as well! TV shows and public lectures are fantastic venues to explain our work, but we should not underestimate the power of engaging the public with the same data used in our own analyses.

Interview with Lobsang
Shanti Stupa Leh, Ladakh India.
Shanit Stupa is perched on a hill and was built to promote 2500 years of Buddhism. At 4267 Feet above sea level my lungs were feeling it as my legs tried to carry my body up the steep 500 steps to the top. The view is superb and is most amazing in its ability to look rather small until you arrive at the top. I walked around a few times and spent some time in the meditation hall watching locals give thanks, prostrating and praying. Leaving I was greeted by a very sweet guy named Lobsang. Offering me a place to sit, some warm tea and home made savoury biscuits I tried to find out what he was doing here and if I could possibly find out more and Buddhism in general.
What is the Shanti Stupa?
The stupa is very important; it has the teachings and books here. The stupa is not empty it is full of knowledge.
What is this knowledge?
Its easy the knowledge of Buddha it is simple – To be Happy this is the essence.
What is your role here?
I am a caretaker I have been here for five years but I am been a monk since 9 years I am now 50 (pointing to a picture of a young Buddhist on the wall and laughing)
What are the benefits to humanity if they find solace in Buddha?
To be nice to improve but you must take refuge in the teachings of Buddha these are for everyone – This is True.
Can you become happy without this practice?
This is not a religion it's a way of understanding our minds and our true state or essence. Happiness is to come out of the ignorance and into knowledge. Alleviating sickness and suffering is the key to Buddha's teachings. I am not outside of this I too suffer also – its Life (Laughs). Attachment is everywhere here in Ladakh, the technology is bringing many unhappiness. The westerners are seen as being happy but westerners think Ladahkians are happy but humans everywhere are like this. If you don't want suffering you must come out of ignorance this is the proof. The Buddha gave it one name – The 3 poisons. Anger, Ignorance and Attachment.
What is the practice to come out of this?
You must identify these 3 poisons and be aware of this in everyday life. No-one can give you peace just you, this suffering that is too educate yourself and know these in everyday life.
At this point he asks me how is the enemy coming? Anger ill will, this effect on the mind makes you reflect this in your life and starts to impair your judgement – This is True.
What is the 1st steps to helping us come out of this?
The 4 nobles truths.
Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering – Attachment
Noble Truth of the End of Suffering – Identifying the causes of Suffering.
Noble Truth of the Middle Path or the Nobel Eight fold Path
This path leads to the end of all suffering, If we avoid harming all other living beings, if we sharpen and focus our mind, and if we gain wisdom; each of us can reach perfect happiness, the end of all misery – This is True
What is a good mantra for this? Can this assist this?
NO! The 1st step is compassion this is the mantra. Everything will start to come into a better state with this. Happiness will come, you will relax and sleep well and feel peace. Mantra can be used for Compassion but if you are not identifying the 3 poisons and try to move away from them Mantra will not work. A clear mind is the end result better thoughts, better way of life. You must have a clean mind to be able to understand knowledge properly at school this is the way.
So we must just be alike Buddha? Yes you are Buddha – This is True.
What else do we have to be aware of?
Jealousy will be something that will affect you also but this ties into non-attachment.
What about Meditation?
Find one that is good for you Vipassana is good but if you are not being a good person meditation is no good – This is True. It starts with your compassion and to live simply and content. Meditation calms the mind and this only helps so much.
At this point he revealed that he has a strong practice but was not educated properly and felt that I should find a scholar. As I sat there and drank the High noon tea he sounded more and more humble and simply wanted to exist outside of the realms of the lower forms of being. Being up there was a real blessing and to talk to someone who didn't reveal things he didn't know fully and have any Ego with regards to preaching etc was an amazing feeling.
As I started to see a storm build in the distance and started to leave Lobsang started revealing that people just keep looking and seeking and when they are in these amazing places they somewhat miss the point, as these temples exist in a place in all our hearts. Sadly he did relay his ideas on Tibet and destruction of many sacred texts and temples. Suffering is Suffering -This is True.
Lobsang said goodbye by asking me who I was and why do I identify with the body "People are nothing these bodies are just vessels we have no need to be religious we just need to be happy and compassionate. Buddhism is a practice to reveal the real you, this which that is within you but you don't know – This is true.
Don't look outside for happiness Buddha he is not in a church. If Buddha was a question mark the Answer is compassion. For you to be born is out of compassion, our mothers have to be compassionate to allow us to experience this life – We must try to share this. Buddha said we 'must become alike mum'. Let go of this Ego you are not Daniel your nothing just feel this and be the best you can be.
Heading back down the steps towards Leh Town I felt emotions that brought up things I forgot about and knew I was on the right track. In the next few hours I tracked down a Tibetan Oracle and the rest is history.
If you come here say Hi. For me in my experience, I feel that Leh is really Leh in the winter as its just the locals. The tourists and merchants only come in tourist season (spring- summer) and Leh gets to breath and rest.
Homemade Ayurvedic Jams or Prash
In Ayurveda there are an array of herbs that are the staple of the healing approach. Personally I've found it's hard to incorporate the intake of these herbs daily, especially if you live a fast tracked life or have limited access to these Herbs all the time.
To make a concoction that you can take on a daily basis or you can take with you in one form is most helpful.
Cooking them together not only helps with assimilation and digestion it also strengthens their potency and somewhat marries them together.
Below is a non classic recipe for a formula called Chyawanprash, the consistency is much alike jam and tastes fantastic.
Mantra for Herb Preparation –
(Pronounced -Om Aim Hreem Kling Chamoondayee Cichay)
- 1L of Amla or Indian Gooseberry Juice and/or 1 cup of Blueberries or Amla berries
- 1 cup Jaggery or Gurr
- 1 cup Coconut (Pitta) or sesame seed (Vata) depending on doshic make up. Omit this part if your Kaphic or have a high degree of Ama or toxins.
- 5 to 6 tbsp .Ghee or Clarified Butter
- 1 tsp of Brahmi
- Thumb of Fresh Ginger
- 6-8 Green Cardamom or Elaichi
- 1 tbsp Pippali or Long Pepper
- 1 inch stick Cinnamon
- 5-6 strands Saffron
- 1 tsp of Turmeric
- Lightly boil Amla juice till it has become thicker in consistency. You can also use fresh Amla Berries or Organic blueberries.
- Add grated Ginger and cook for another 5 minutes
- In a pan add some ghee or clarified butter. And add amla puree to the ghee. Keep sauteing for good ten minutes or until you see it leaves out the oil.
- Add Jaggery or Gur to the amla puree.
- Add Coconut or sesame seed oil
- Take green cardamom, fennel seeds, whole black pepper, few strands of saffron and cinnamon in a dry grinder and make a powder .
- Add ground spiced to the pan and mix well. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes till everything is well combined.
- Add Brahmi or other herbs you have been prescribed
- Let cool. Store in refrigerator and take with warm milk each morning.
Vibration is creation
A theory of creation, maybe possibly kinda; well sorta.
Just because we cannot see the wind, this does not mean it is not there
– Ken Wilber
Its divine by design, and so are you and I.
Ayurvedic texts convey that the 'source' was pure consciousness or 'Prakruti' which had the will to manifest himself through the vibrational intention of primordial sound, mantra and language. The fundamental law of vibration, states that everything in the universe is in a flux of vibration or resonance. Everything is existence whether it is solid, liquid or gas is made up of light and energy, which are constantly moving and vibrating. This synergy between 'intent or will' and vibration is the bridge between 'Matter' and Spirit." Prakruti is associated with the first two chakra's that are not on this 'earth,' though are antecedents of the five elements, five senses and five chakras.
Aum is the one eternal primordial syllable of which all that exists and has ever existed – Mandukya Upanishad
The characteristics associated with the divine mind are related to the 7th chakra (crown), which are bliss, grace, beauty, serenity and universal oneness.
Vowel – 'Eee'
Mantra 'Aum'
'Prakruti had the desire to create, this is seen as a product of the sixth chakra (third eye), characterized by imagination, creation, intuition, rational thought, union of the left and right hemispheres.
Vowel 'Aye'
Mantra 'Aum'
From the intention of divine creation, stemming from the top two chakras followed a vibrational energy, thus creating aspects of the physical world. With Each vibration aligning itself with our chakras, senses, and elements and also with a specific 'Primordial sound/Mantra/Vibration'.
5th chakra (Throat)
Element- Ether/Space, (The 'Vibration/Words' of desire which through movement of space created 'Air')
Vowel 'Eye'
Mantra "HAM"
Sense – Hearing – Communication, Physical expression of creativity)
We need our ears to enable speech (vibration), if there is any blockage in the ears or fluid build up, this can inhibit the speech function. Thus the reason deaf people have the inability to speak fluently as the equilibrium is distorted in the ear.
4th chakra (Heart)
Element- Air (The birth of Oxygen, movement and friction)
Vowel – Ah
Mantra – "YAM"
Sense- touch, compassion and unity)
The loving touch or hug can be given as an indication of support, comfort, and consolation, particularly where 'words' are insufficient. A hug is usually a demonstration of affection and emotional warmth; this show of affection can bring someone into our space and make them feel a 'human' connection and belonging.
3rd chakra (Solar plexus)
Element- Fire (From the movement and friction of air this created 'fire'. As this heated the air then condensed, it turned into water)
Vowel – Oh
Mantra – "RAM"
Sense- Sight (Personal power and will)
This gave us the ability to see and perceive light and dark.
2nd chakra (Navel)
Element- Water (This would of given life to biology.
Binding with the warmth from the previous element this brought life and governs the kinds of organisms that can live in rivers and lakes.
(Fish, insects, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and other aquatic species).
Vowel – OOO
Mantra – "VAM"-
Sense- Taste, (personal power and will)
We quite literally had a 'taste' for life and started to see our role in the physical world
1st chakra (Root)
Element- Earth
Vowel – Uh
Mantra – "LAM"
Sense- Smell (Tribal/family, vitality)
The final stage gave us the ability to procreate and brings it all together, this last stage would have governed the ability to smell pheromones and food.
The Highest sense we have is the sense of smell; aromatherapy uses plants, which embody the highest frequency (link to Ayurveda our savior) with relation to being closet to the source or 'light' with the highest potential of the plants world 'pollen'.
This chakra is also the seat of 'Kundalini', which rises from the earth and up to the heavens.
Words are quite absurd.
In the beginning was the word, this was all that could be heard across the universe -Siddha Somanomah (link to whoissiddhasomanomah.blog.com)
These aspects formulate the basis of creation through energetic resonance. We as a species manifest our intentions or thoughts; through the vehicle of speech. Our words have the ability to bring these 'thought patterns' into this world from nowhere, this may possibly be the most powerful apparatus humankind has to offer. Words are tools and have the power to create or destroy, enlighten or harm and of course they have the power to heal.
For instance, within our language of words are vowels and consonants. Vowels (eee- aye-eye-ah-oh-ooo -uh) bring harmony into the body by removing dissonance. While consonants localize energy in a specific area (t- h- s- f -v -sh- ch- th). For example 'E' being the Primordial sound of the 7th crown chakra can be found in a simple sentence like- be, dream, breath; perceive, achieve peace; release, repeat. Being mindful of our words is the key to creating harmony or afflicting dissonance.
During gestation we too learn words from the universe.
With respect to us as species we create and shape with words, art and of course 'conception'. Our very first life experience is through sound. In utero we are adrift in our mothers Inner Ocean or amniotic fluid- weightless. We have no sense of smell of taste as this fluid eliminates these. We have our eyes closed floating in the dark -unable to perceive light. Week sixteen our ears fully develop, as we are have water against the eardrum but sound travels five time quicker through water making our hearing amplified. The orchestration of sound patterns we perceive during this time will be deeply imbedded into our sub- consciousness mind for the rest of our lives. This is our first experience of 'Primordial sounds'. As with respect too the unfolding creation through the seven stages each one has one of these 'Primordial sounds', using these while pregnant can help to remove any dissonance from the physical, spiritual and psychological growth of our infants.
By eliminating dissonance from our energy field and raising harmonic balance we can bring a new level of creation into our initial level of molecular generation. These can be utilized during pregnancy or with a daily practice.
The technique for using primordial sounds is really quite simple. Just experiment with them all for a few days (eye,ah,oh, ooo,uh). One will feel better than the others so please take a sound that feels good for you and apply the following steps.
Step 1) Once you have acquired your personal sound -find a place you feel warmth and love to move into your own sacred space.
Step 2) Now you can use the chosen vowel too heal yourself with visualization, intention and mindful manifestation. For instance if you have a liver issue, all you need to do is attach the emotion of healing to this sound. Now just simply by using intention, attach the feeling of healing while saying (aloud or in your mind) the chosen vowel.
step 3) Now visualize this sound with healing intent and send it to your liver.
Heal yourself it helps.

Are You Sensitive to Mold and Other Allergens?
DID YOU KNOW that even the healthiest people can still suffer negative effects in the presence of some common things around the house, that collect mold and other allergens?
It's not something that necessarily has to start growing in the basement of your house after your property suffered from water damage. It's something that can "just happen" and it's not good always news. But it can be easily fixed, and I will show you how.
First of all, what the heck are we talking about?
Old stuff brought in
There are lots of items that can come into your house that can trigger your allergies or other sensitivities. These can include old cardboard boxes, packages and other items sent or brought to you. The worse of these would be old stuff, things that have been around a while, gathering dust and allergens.
Old 'normal' stuff
We've all been to a library and sniffed old books. OK, maybe not all of us, but those that remember books and libraries can relate to the musty smell that comes from old books. My wife suffers from allergies and I have personally seen her lose her voice from being around old books. Old books and or documents can be allergen triggers if you are sensitive to dusty old smells, so please be sure to remember this before checking them out or taking them into your home.
Old holiday decorations
Sure, the holidays are a time when you use ornaments and other decorations, and this is just a few times a year… but you have to store them, right? Most people store their decoration in the attic or the crawlspace. At AmeriDri most of our mold jobs are in the attic or the crawlspace. Remember that stored decorations can bring in allergens. It might be best to give them at least a wipe-down while you unpack, if not a complete cleaning, before you set them up in your home or business. Also remember that people with mold allergies may not be able to handle harsh cleaners, so use vinegar and water to clean the decorations.
Old mattresses
This is a tough one, and sometimes a sensitive issue. Sure, it's OK to pass on mattresses from one generation to another (what is family for?), but what are you getting when you inherit an old mattress or other bedding from someone not close to you? If you are prone to allergies then don't buy a used mattress. Check out my blog post on mattress cleaning, so you can keep your own mattress clean and sanitized. And don't be tempted by that new-looking mattress at your neighbor's garage sale. You just don't know what you are getting into. Did you know that every mattress has dust mites and other nasty things?
Old rugs and carpet
Rugs and carpet are very important to us, but be sure to have them inspected by your local carpet cleaning professional before bringing them into your home. These are items that can collect all types of allergens and other contaminants that can affect you and your family. Wool rugs and wool carpet is notorious for hiding dirt.
Don't be afraid to throw your old stuff out if you feel the item in question is making you sick. When my wife got mold poisoning over 15 years ago, we had to through everything we owned away. If I knew 15 years ago what I know now, I would have saved the non-porous items and cleaned them. Don't use harsh chemicals. Remember, it's your home and your family's health. Protect it!
Thank you,
Joe Crivello, CEO, AmeriDri

LAKELAND, FL - Florida Southern College men's basketball was unable to overcome a hot-shooting Stonehill team and its own offensive woes as it suffered its first defeat of the year, 89-79, on Saturday evening at Streamline Sale Arena at Jenkins Field House. The No. 12 Moccasins (4-1) scored the opening bucket of the game but fell behind to the Skyhawks (4-3) on the next possession and led just once the remainder of the contest.
Stonehill shot 53.7 percent on the night, including 15-of-26 from long range, to hand the Mocs their first regular-season home loss since January. Brett Hanson (23 points) and Slinky Jones (20) led Florida Southern in scoring, but the Moccasins connected on just 39.1 percent from the floor and hit only 5-of-19 three-point attempts in defeat. The Mocs will open Sunshine State Conference action on Wednesday when they host Tampa at 7:30 p.m.
- Jones got the Moccasins on the board first when he grabbed an offensive board off his own missed jumper and nailed a layup to give Southern an early lead. It would be short-lived, however, as the Skyhawks responded with a three-pointer just seconds later in what would become a familiar sight. Jonathan Lawton's three-pointer at the 18:17 mark of the first half to give FSC the lead again, but briefly as Stonehill drilled another three on the next possession to go up 6-5 and would never trail again.
- Stonehill was lights-out from long range early in the contest as seven of its first eight buckets came from beyond the arc to help the Skyhawks build a 20-11 lead in the first five minutes of action. Florida Southern trailed by as many as 14 points (33-19) in the first half, but the Mocs battled back to pull within three (37-34) when Jones connected from long range with 1:56 to go in the half. The Skyhawks were able to score four more before the break to make it 41-36 at halftime
- The hot-shooting of Stonehill spilled over into the second half as it drilled another three to start things off an led by as many as 19 points (61-42) with just over 13 minutes left to play. Despite forcing several turnovers in the closing minutes and converting those into points, the Moccasins were never really able to get back into the contest as the Skyhawks came away with the upset.
- Florida Southern struggled all night to find its form on offense as it failed to shoot better than above 40.0 percent in either half. Hanson went 9-of-18 from the floor and added six rebounds and three steals to his stat line. Jones went 8-of-14, grabbed nine boards, and tallied five steals. Stonehill was paced by Will Moreton (25 points) and Dan Largey (24), who went a combined 9-of-15 from three-point range. The Mocs were outrebounded 42-33 and outscored the Skyhawks 31-11 in points off turnovers.
- Florida Southern fell to 0-1 all-time against Stonehill. The loss was FSC's first regular-season home defeat since a 117-111 double-overtime loss to Rollins on Jan. 13, 2018.
- Hanson pushed his career scoring total to 1,044 points to 35th place in school history in scoring. He has a chance to shoot way up the career scoring list this year as just 373 points separate Hanson from the top 10 in FSC history.
- Jonathan Lawton upped his career point total to 796 in a Florida Southern uniform. He has recorded 1,359 points in his career after tallying 563 in two seasons at St. Thomas Aquinas before transferring to FSC.
- Prior to the game, a special ceremony was held to recognize Harold "Streamline" Sale for his place in Moccasin history. He was an ardent supporter of Florida Southern basketball and a founding member of the 6th Man Club. The ceremony included the official dedication of Streamline Sale Arena and was attended by several members of the Sale family, including Boston Red Sox ace and 2018 World Series champion Chris Sale, who attended Lakeland High School.
- Florida Southern opens SSC action at home against Tampa on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the third of seven-straight home games. The Mocs will also face conference rival Embry-Riddle at home on Dec. 5 before stepping back into non-conference action.

CHICAGO — Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) today announced that students achieved a record high average score of 18.4 on the 2015-2016 ACT exam, which represents the highest composite score on record for the District. With the help of dedicated parents, teachers and school staff, ACT scores have grown steadily in recent years, increasing by 1.2 points since 2011 to this year's record high.
"Chicago's schools are realizing record-high academic achievements – progress that could not be made if it were not for the commitment by our students, teachers, parents and principals," Mayor Emanuel said. "Our continuously rising ACT scores signal that more of our students are not only college-ready than ever before, but that their hard work is paying off and opening doors to even more academic options once they graduate. Needless to say, these results are yet another indication that our schools are on the right track, and that the future for our students is bright."
The District's composite average score of 18.4 is a .2 point increase from the previous school year and reflects subject level improvements in reading, math and science. In the past year, students increased the average scale score in math by .4 points, science by .4 points and reading by .2 points. The momentous growth in the District's ACT scores since 2011 is unparalleled in contrast with the preceding 5-year period, which showed an increase of just .2 points between 2005 and 2010.
Notably, CPS students have demonstrated consistent growth in ACT math scores for the past six years. This past year, students averaged a math score of 18.7, the highest score on record, which represents a 1 point increase since 2010. Overall, this growth demonstrates improvements in college-readiness and progress toward better college accessibility for Chicago's students.
"The ACT scores announced today are yet another indication that CPS students are performing better than ever and are increasingly qualified for college success," said CPS CEO Forrest Claypool. "Our students, parents and educators deserve to be applauded for their continued growth, and as a District we are committed to providing them with the tools, resources and strategies needed to continue their impressive gains."
Not only are CPS students achieving higher ACT scores on average, but the percentage of students meeting and exceeding the national average ACT score of 21 is also on the rise. This past year, 30.5 percent of CPS high school juniors scored a 21 above on the ACT compared to 25.5 percent in 2013.
"ACT scores provide the District with an important measuring stick for success, and the scores released today show that our schools continue to improve in core subject areas," said Chief Education Officer Dr. Janice K. Jackson. "Increasing ACT scores mean our students are more likely to be accepted to college and attain valuable college scholarships that make college attendance a reality, and we are highly encouraged and motivated by the continued success of our students."
The continued growth in ACT scores follows recently announced increases in the District's graduation rate (73.5 percent), freshman on-track rate (87.4 percent), attendance rate (93.4 percent), college scholarship offers ($1.16 billion) and record high NWEA assessment scores that show CPS students on average scoring higher than their national peers.
The record achievement gains made by CPS students on the ACT exam and in other areas is attributable in part to a strategic effort by the District to improve access to high quality resources and instruction. By adopting rigorous Common Core standards for math and reading instruction, extending and standardizing the length of the school day through the Full School Day initiative, and significantly increasing access to challenging and enriching STEM, IB, AP and dual-credit/dual-enrollment opportunities, the District has undergone a dramatic shift in recent years to help ensure every student who enrolls in a CPS school leaves with a well-rounded 21st Century education.

The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, Volume I
The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, Volume I
Book Excerpt
cate health, perhaps because his early tastes and temperament were not unlike her own, perhaps because he was her oldest surviving child, the fact remains that, of a family of eight, he was generally regarded as the child with whom she was especially sympathetic. The picture of mother and son in those early days is an altogether charming one. Page's mother was only twenty-four when he was born; she retained her youth for many years after that event, and during his early childhood, in appearance and manner, she was little more than a girl. When Walter was a small boy, he and his mother used to take long walks in the woods, sometimes spending the entire day, fishing along the brooks, hunting wild flowers, now and then pausing while the mother read pages of Dickens or of Scott. These experiences Page never forgot. Nearly all his letters to his mother--to whom, even in his busiest days in New York, he wrote constantly--have been accidentally destroyed, but a few scraps indicate the close spiritual bond that exist

Maharana Pratap 18th March 2015 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
A man tells Pratap to go to Tulsi Deora if he wants to meet Tulsidas ji. Pratap decides to reach there asap. I will wait for him there as I want his blessings.
Rukaiyya shows a necklace to Akbar. Please make me wear it with your hands. Akbar agrees. She asks him if he has made up his mind to meet Ajmer's Peer Baba. Akbar agrees to go. I too need his blessings a lot.
Mahamanga taunts Salima. You said that you will make Shehanshah dance to your tunes. He threw you out like a mistress. You were trying to teach me. see what has happened with you! This is your real worth. Salima requests her to stop. Please don't leave my side right now. Please guide me, what should I do now. I cannot understand anything. I cannot think of any idea. Mahamanga says you always think of something or the other. You have also guided Shehanshah in political matters. Salima requests her not to rub salt to her wounds. Please help me. Mahamanga has an idea but its tough, and I am not sure whether you will be capable to implement it. Marry Bairam Khan! Salima is shocked. Have you lost your mind? Mahamanga says it will make Jalal mad. He will lose his cool once he finds out that you have become someone else's now. Men don't value what they get very easily. When you will go closer to Bairam Khan then Jalal will yearn to get you. Salima makes her repeat her words. She likes the plan. Poor Bairam Khan! Mahamanga says it is up to you as to who becomes the poor one here – Bairam Khan or you. Salima smirks.
Pratap reaches Tulsidas ji's house. He touches the wall from outside and can hear Ram's echo. He steps inside only after removing his sandals. He hears Ram every time he touches some or the other wall. He looks at Shree Ram, Sita ji, Laxman ji and Hanuman ji's idol kept there. Two disciples ask for his intro. Pratap says I want to meet Tulsidas ji. When will I be able to see him? One of the disciples replies that no one can fix the time of meeting him. He can meet you right away as well if Ram ji wants it or maybe he wont meet you at all. Whatever happens happens as per Ram ji's wish. Pratap is sure Ram ji would surely want him to meet Tulsidas ji. He notices "Satyam Shivam Sundaram" written here. Has Tulsidas ji written it? The disciple denies. It is written by Lord Shiva himself. Pratap is amazed at Tulsidas ji's greatness. He hears someone saying that tulsidas ji is not great, Ram ji is great. Pratap turns and notices Tulsidas ji. Shiv ji, Hanuman ji is great. I am only a medium. I just follow what he wants me to do. Pratap is overwhelmed to finally see him. He folds his hands before him and then kneels down in his feet. Tulsidas ji blesses him and then heads to do his puja. He again nods at Pratap.
Massi comes to meet Ajabde. Why are you sad? You should be always happy now as there is a baby inside you. Your thoughts will affect your baby too. What will Pratap think if he sees you thus? Ajabde looks away. Massi asks her if she has not told Pratap yet. You dint do it right. What's going on between you two? Ajabde replies that Pratap was so engrossed in Tulsidas ji and his devotion for Ram ji that I couldn't tell him anything. Amma ji asks her if she wants her husband to leave her and become a sanyasi? Ajabde denies. I cannot even imagine life without him. I will die. I cannot understand what I should do!
Tulsidas ji addresses Pratap with his name. I am feeling much more happiness than what you are feeling right now. Pratap looks at him in shock (tearfully). You know my name? Tulsidas ji replies that not just me, one day the whole world will know you. Brave Pratap! Pratap is confused. I cannot understand anything. Lately, I have been feeling very restless. I felt as if there is no direction, no mission left in life anymore. I came to you to find out an answer for my questions. Please help me. Tulsidas ji nods. You will certainly get your answers if Shree Ram ji wants it. please take this Shiv ji's Prasad. You are my relative. Pratap is all the more confused. Tulsidas ji explains that Pratap is from Ram ji's lineage, and Ram ji is my everything. This way you are my relative. Pratap folds his hands politely. Please don't make me so great my pointing out at the lineage. I am not that great. Tulsidas ji is not giving him respect just because he is from Ram ji's lineage but I am doing so as you deserve it. pratap wants to talk to him for which Tulsidas ji agrees.
Massi tells Ajabde to do something. This is no time to cry. All men are like that. Every man falls for sanyas once in life. Make something nice for him and get dressed up nicely. Serve him food. Share the good news with him when he begins to eat his food. He wont think of anything else once you tell him. I am speaking with experience. Just follow my advice once and everything will be fine.
Pratap says I couldn't understand the aim of my life till date but now I have understood what I want to do. Give me deeksha please. I want to dedicate my whole life in Shree Ram ji's devotion just like you. Tulsidas ji respects his intentions. But not every path is for everyone, whether it is of devotion or of strength. So, one has to choose the path wisely that he / she wants to follow for life. Have you decided to follow this path only? Pratap affirms. Tulsidas ji points out that Pratap is married. Will your wife allow you to choose this path? Pratap replies that he has to take deeksha so why should he seek permission from his wife for it. Tulsidas ji talks about the rule. A married man has to seek permission from his wife while an unmarried man has to seek his mother's permission. Scriptures allow only those who are completely free from all their responsibilities. Will your wife free you from your responsibilities?
Ajabde gets ready for Pratap.
Pratap says I know my wife really well. Every word that I say to her is like stone. She left all the luxuries of palace on my one hint and is moving around to places with me. Undoubtedly, she is a good wife who is dedicated to her husband in every true sense. Tulsidas ji agrees. Bring her to me then. I would like to hear it from her. Pratap leaves to bring Ajabde.
Tulsidas ji recalls Massi's words and smiles looking at the mirror. She puts vermilion in her forehead. It is better to die rather than live without you Pratap. Ajabde is happily cooking food for Pratap. She also touches her belly in between and is all shy. Pratap comes home. He is surprised to see her all decked up. Is there something special? Ajabde dismisses it. you too look really happy today. is there some special news? Did you get a chance to meet Tulsidas ji? Pratap nods his head. You know me so well. There is another news which I want to share with you. She too says the same thing. But please eat first. He sits down to eat food. You had told me once that I will find out the aim of my life soon. I have found it. I am very happy today. Ajabde too wants to share a good news with him. I want to see your reaction. She gives him her swear, asking him to go ahead first. He gives in. I want to take deeksha. Ajabde is stunned.
Precap: Tulsidas ji asks Pratap if his responsibility is only limited to his family. You hold responsibility towards the entire mankind. I can see a very dangerous defeat in the process. You should leave for Chittor right away. Save your motherland.
