The Most Important Information About Video Games
Helping You Better Understand Video Games With These Simple To Follow Tips Your kids are in danger when they play video games, although you may not know it. There are many games out there that allow your kids to communicate with other people. Unfortunately, this leaves your children open to encounters from predators, although in a perfect society, this wouldn't be a bad thing. Read on for some tips that will keep your kids safe during their gaming sessions. To find inexpensive games, consider visiting eBay. You can find a number of older titles at considerable prices. If you are patient, you can even score a system at a great price. To look at a seller's history and reviews before you purchase from them, make sure however. You want to buy from someone reputable. And you don't have any experience with it, set the difficulty level to rookie, if you are playing a sporting game. This will help you pick up on the unique features of the game and learn your way around the field. You are likely to get frustrated and not have any fun if you set it higher than that. If you feel like you targeted your enemy spot on in a shooter and still missed, check what weapon you are using. Just like in real life, different weapons have different strengths and weaknesses. The weapon you are using may not have the short distance required or the weapon recoil is actually putting you slightly off target. If you are playing a shooter, make each one of your shots actually count. Many novice players make the error of just squeezing that letting and trigger out round after round. Soon you'll be empty with nothing to show for it. Instead wait for a clear shot and practice patience overall. You'll be rewarded. Some video games can educate children. These titles will help your little one gain knowledge and have fun at the same time. Consult reviews posted by parents to determine which games are appropriate for younger children and stick to those titles. Rent before you buy! It is not uncommon to buy a new game, take it home and then play it only to realize that it is nowhere near the fun you thought it would be. It may not appeal to you in any number of ways. Rent it first and find out if it truly offers what you want. Don't be shy about downloading games digitally! While this distribution channel experienced a somewhat rocky start, the kinks have been ironed out. Today, downloading your games (legally) is a much faster and more convenient way to get access to them. It's also a great way to hang onto them with most reputable services, you're allowed to download a game over and over again. This makes it easy to recover from a computer meltdown without fussing with a bunch of DVD-ROMs. Sell your used games to buy new or new to you games. Video games are not cheap and some of them you have no use for after you beat. Do your research and find stores that buy used games. These stores will either pay you in cash or in store credit. This allows you to get games you want without spending a lot of money. Try not to buy new video games on the day of their release. Video games are expensive nowadays and waiting a month or two from the release date can help you to save a lot of money on new video games. New video games always cost more for the first few weeks after their release. Avoid buying the costly edition of games, unless they are a favorite. It isn't necessary to have in order to play the game, even though many times, video games will have a special edition. By not purchasing the special edition you can save money on the video game and still enjoy it. Be aware of the addictive nature of gaming, whether it's you or someone, you love constantly at the console. Although games can be great fun and even offer something educational, they are by their very nature an addictive activity that can soon over-take anybody's life. Know the signs of addiction and watch out for them! Video games are quite expensive, as we all know. You can increase your child's selection by organizing a video game co-op with neighbors or friends. Print out lists of what games each member has, and formulate a "check-out" system, allowing kids to borrow a video game for a specified period of time. Make good rules and stick to them. Before buying it, try renting a video game. If you have already played a game, and you don't like it, the store probably won't take it back. That's a good bit of money lost. Video game rentals help you get a good feel for the game, without costing you too much for trial and error. Make sure that you do not let video games take over your life. Video games can be very additive, so you need to make sure that you moderate the time that you spending playing such games. Your real life could start to fall apart if you spend too much time playing video game. Wait half a year before getting titles you want, to make the most of your video gaming budget. On average, major releases hit twenty dollars within five months. At that price, you can buy three times the games you could if you got them at their launch date and price. Some of the most popular video games available today are role-playing games with truly astonishing complexity and depth. In order to get the most out of these kinds of games, don't hesitate to take notes on what you've done and what you intend to do. If your opportunities to sit down and play come few and far between, this can be especially handy. Your notes will remind you of where you're going next. If you want your partner or spouse to try gaming, carefully choose some games that he or she might enjoy. Forcing your own tastes onto your significant other won't work. Cooperative games are a good place to start, so you can share the experience and find out what your significant other likes and doesn't like. In conclusion, playing video games is usually a very thrilling experience for a person. But, no matter what your level of gaming expertise, being educated on the ins and outs of gaming will make playing games even more fun.

NOW that interest rates are projected to stay low for the foreseeable future, investors are likely to turn their attention to defensive stocks with high dividend yields.
A possible candidate is content creator and broadcaster Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd, given its attractive dividend yield of more than 5% based on its current share price of RM1.39.
Astro's dividend yield has become attractive because its share price has been on a downward trend. In fact, in the last two years, the counter has lost half its value, tumbling from RM2.82 on Oct 15, 2017, to RM1.39 at present.
Looking at its dividend per share over the last five years, Astro has been generous with its payouts. If calculated based on its current price of RM1.39, its dividend yield ranged from 7.9% to 8.9% from its financial year ended Jan 31, 2015 (FY2015) to FY2018. In absolute value, the dividend per share was between 11 sen and 12.5 sen for the four years.
Astro's dividend yield slipped in FY2019 as total dividends amounted to nine sen per share, translating into a yield of 6.4% for the year. For FY2020, analysts forecast a dividend per share of between 9 sen and 11 sen.
Attractive or not, the question is, are Astro's dividend yields sustainable? It is worth noting that its earnings have been eroded by falling subscription revenue over the years.
The group's policy is to pay out at least 75% of its consolidated profits and it has consistently doled out dividends in excess of its stated threshold since its listing in 2012.
"Astro is disciplined in its financials. It does not strain its free cash flow in order to reward its shareholders," says CGS-CIMB Research analyst Kamarul Anwar.
He points out that the company's dividends are expected to make up less than 60% of its free cash flow going forward, thus providing some assurance of its sustainability.
Astro's free cash flow stood at RM346 million in 2QFY2020.
In a fast-changing media landscape, not only have long-standing issues of piracy been a bane for Astro but international over-the-top (OTT) platforms are also adding to the pressure.
Maybank IB Research says in a report that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is expected to take more steps to combat content piracy.
"We gather that MCMC will compel internet service providers to deny internet access to Android TV boxes. We also hope that MCMC will investigate e-commerce websites that sell Android TV boxes and even ban Android TV boxes altogether. In our view, this will narrow the decline in Astro's TV subscription revenue, if not drive its recovery," says the report.
Analysts note that Astro has been proactive in its efforts to retain and gain new customers in the difficult business environment in order to strengthen its earnings.
MIDF Research notes in a Sept 13 report that Astro's pay-TV average revenue per user stayed at around RM100, which could be mainly through the higher consumption of its On Demand VOD and OTT platforms and NJOI — a prepaid subscription.
Its broadband content bundling with Maxis has also been viewed positively by many. "By doing this, customers can pay their internet and Astro bills together and they get rebates on both. It's quite an attractive deal for customers," says CGS-CIMB Research's Kamarul.
According to MIDF Research, the increase in the number of connected set-top boxes also indicates that consumers are opting for Astro's attractive and premium content (for example, HBO Go and iQIYI) ahead of the analogue switch-off by the end of this month. This bodes well for Astro's earnings.
In its second quarter ended July 31, 2019 (2QFY2020), Astro announced a net profit of RM169.34 million, which was almost 10 times more than the RM16.58 million recorded in the previous corresponding period, as cost discipline measures paid off.
Analysts have attributed the improved profit partly to the absence of the FIFA World Cup, which had significantly bumped up content cost in FY2019. The quarter also revealed more stable TV subscription revenue despite intense content piracy via Android TV boxes.
"At first glance, the 10% year-on-year decline in 2QFY2020 TV subscription revenue is ominous. But note that 2QFY2019 TV subscription revenue was buoyed by the FIFA World Cup. In fact, non-recurrence of FIFA World Cup content cost drove 2QFY2020 core net profit up 261% year on year to RM168.4 million.
"Ex-FIFA World Cup, we gather that 2QFY2020 TV subscription revenue would have eased 7% year on year, similar to that recorded in 1QFY2020," says Maybank IB Research's Sept 13 report.
Currently, there are 14 "buy", two "hold" and two "sell" calls on Astro with an average target price of RM1.74.

First coined in the Northern and Southern Dynasties era (420-589 A.D.), the term "Four Treasures of the Study" (文房四å®) refers to the four pieces of stationery essential to Chinese calligraphy. Although there had been different definitions of what constitute the four treasures, it is now universally agreed that they comprise the calligraphy brush (笔), ink (墨), paper (纸) and ink slab (ç š). The following is a brief introduction to the four treasures:
Calligraphy Brush
The earliest traces of the use of the calligraphy brush in China date back to the Yin-Shang Dynasties era (1766-1122 B.C.). The form of the brush had undergone only very minor modifications over the course of time, with the variations coming chiefly in the choice of the shaft and brush head materials. Understandably, the materials used depended on what was available at each place during the different times. Archeological finds showed that the ancient shaft materials had ranged from bamboo, wood, ceramic and animal horns to the more valuable such as ivory, jade, crystal and even precious metals. As for the brush head, materials used had included animal fur, human hair and thatch fibres. Of the animal hair used, those from leopards, tigers, wolves, foxes and even gorillas count among the exotic finds. Interestingly, since ancient times, the Chinese have had the tradition of turning their newborns' hair into calligraphy brushes as keepsakes.
Modern day brushes are typically made from the fur of wild rabbits, goats, weasels or from a combination of these animals' hair. The making of calligraphy brushes is a very demanding form of craftsmanship. For example, only the hair from the rabbit's withers (i.e. top of the shoulders, just behind its neck), the tip of goat's beard and tail, as well as the tip of the weasel's tail are deemed suitable for making brushes. As the rabbit's hair is stiffer and has a sharper tip, brushes made with rabbit hair are generally used for writing bold and vigorous strokes. On the other extreme, goat hair is softer, blunt-tipped and more absorbent, hence they are suitable for soft, flowing strokes.
Depending on the user's style and preference, and whether the brush is to be used for painting or calligraphy, there are different types of brushes for different purposes. Apart from the type of hair used to make the brush head, the other factors to consider when selecting a brush are the shape (or more specifically, the pointedness of the tip), uniformity in the brush hair length, fullness in the brush head and stiffness of the brush hair. Chinese calligraphers traditionally refer to these factors as the "Four Virtues" of the brush (四德).
Prices of calligraphy brushes can vary widely, depending on their "Four Virtues", the brush sizes and origin of the materials, as well as the craftsmanship of the shafts.
Prior to the invention of man-made ink, the Chinese derived natural ink pigments from graphite fossils. Traditional Chinese ink is primarily made from pine soot. The soot is mixed with resin and other binding agents, compacted into shape, then sold in the form of ink sticks. Interestingly, prior to the Han era (i.e. before 202 B.C.), the compound was sold in the form of spheres!
To prepare the ink for usage, the ink stick would have to be ground with clean water on the ink slab to produce the thick, black liquid pigment. (Clean water is a must in order to prevent impurities from contaminating the ink.) To achieve a good consistency in the liquid ink calls for experience and skills in the processes of water mixing and grinding. Although the consistency desired would depend on the artist's preferences and styles, in general, the objective is to obtain ink which does not halo upon contact with paper.
In the Ming era (1368 – 1644 A.D.), faced with stiff competition, ink stick makers started engraving and embellishing their ink sticks to make their products stand out, thus propagating the trading and collection of artistic ink sticks. In general, a good ink stick must have an even and smooth texture, be free from impurities, is firm but not sticky, and should not be easily soluble in water. Naturally, its hue should be pure and solid black in color. Ink pigments which reflect blue lustre are of premium grade while those displaying red or even white tinges are considered to be inferior quality.
Apart from pine soot, another common source material used to make ink sticks is Tung tree oil soot. Ink derived from pine soot are considered darker in colour and deemed more suitable for calligraphy. Tung tree oil-based ink, on the other hand, is usually used for painting because of its glossiness.
Paper is widely regarded as one of ancient China's four great inventions, alongside gunpowder, typography and the compass. Cai Lun, an Eastern Han Dynasty scholar (25-220 A.D.) was credited for the invention of paper. However, archeological findings revealed that more primitive forms of paper predating the Eastern Han era had already existed.
Different types of paper are used for Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting. In ancient times, paper was made with either bamboo or wood. Bamboo pulp is less absorbent and glossier than wood pulp. As a result, ink tends to stay on the surface of paper made from bamboo pulp and also appears shinier. Wood-derived paper absorbs ink immediately upon contact and holds the ink well. For this reason, paper made from wood is more prized. The priciest calligraphy paper, Xuan paper (宣纸) produced in Jing County (which was under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou Prefecture (today's Anhui Province) hence its name), is considered the best because of its soft and fine texture, good tensile strength and durability. However, because it is highly absorbent and smudges easily, it takes a lot of skill and practice to be able to master writing on such paper.
Ink Slab
Ink slabs were created around the Yin-Shang Dynasties era to facilitate the grinding of ink sticks to prepare ink. Early versions of the slabs were made from stone, pottery, jade, copper, iron and other hardy materials. Today, it is widely acknowledged that stone is the most suitable material given its inert and hardy characteristics.
A good ink slab is one that is hard, smooth and fine, and boosts the production of ink in the grinding process. The smooth and fine surface is essential to avoid damaging the ink stick (during grinding) and the brush hair. The slab must also stay moist so as to preserve the consistency of the ink. In this regard, ink stones produced in Guangdong Province, known as Duan slabs (ç«¯ç š), and She slabs (æ™ç š) from Anhui Province, are most coveted for their fineness, with the former being the highest priced among ink stones.
It was not until the Ming and Qing era when demand for exquisite ink slabs came about and artisans began producing slabs of various designs and shapes. As a result, in terms of antique collections, ink slabs of quality craftwork from these periods are even more valuable than those from earlier times.
Chinese calligraphers are also very meticulous in the maintenance of ink slabs. After use, all remnants of ink must be carefully washed away so that there would be no dried residue stuck to the slab. When not in use, the slab surface must be kept moist with cool and clean water which is changed frequently and stored away from direct sunlight (to prevent the stones from drying up and thus cracking). This process is affectionately known as "nurturing the slab" (å…»ç š).

Help for people experiencing rough sleeping this Christmas
Partners in the Oxford Homeless Movement are providing services for people experiencing homelessness over the Christmas period.
Festive events include a number of Christmas lunches and parties, with services also continuing to provide food and hot drinks for homeless and vulnerably housed people.
Christmas meals and parties
The Oxford Community Soup Kitchen – more commonly known as Ma Smith's – held its Christmas lunch yesterday (Wednesday 18 December).
Yesterday evening, Aspire held a Place at the Table festive dinner at Yarnton Nursery for the people it supports who are facing homelessness, poverty and disadvantage. It provided people with a hot meal, company and a Christmas gift, as well as the opportunity for them to get specialist housing and employment support from Aspire.
"I spent a lovely evening with Aspire staff and guests and a number of volunteers who kindly gave up their time to help make the event go smoothly. The atmosphere was brilliant, everyone was so relaxed and there was lots of laughter whilst eating the delicious meal served by Yarnton Nursery. This was a memorable event and showed the amazing relationships that have been built up. I was delighted to be there representing the Oxford Homeless Movement partnership.
Looking forward to attending Monday's Christmas party with Oxford Homeless Project at the Asian Cultural Centre."
Yvonne Pinner, Project Manager Oxford Homeless Movement
Next week, Oxford Homeless Project is holding two events in East Oxford. On Monday 23 December it will hold a Christmas party at the Asian Cultural Centre, starting at noon. On Christmas Day it will host a Christmas lunch at East Oxford Community Centre between 1pm and 5pm.

"I encountered a lot of homeless people during my career in London. There are complex reasons for homelessness and sometimes it was just two or three bits of bad luck together. It's good to acknowledge that I've been fortunate and to give something back to the community. I enjoy cooking and volunteering as a chef for Crisis, this is just my small part in a much bigger effort to help people back on their feet."
Stuart Rushworth, retired police inspector and volunteer chef at Crisis Skylight Oxford this Christmas
"Christmas is a time of celebration and Oxford's charities and community groups work hard to make sure homeless and vulnerably housed people aren't left out in the cold.

Most people in America rely heavily on the electronics in their homes to keep life running smoothly. From appliances to work computers and game systems for entertainment, anything that runs on electricity is likely valuable and expensive. For this reason, it's important to know how to protect them, especially from power surges. With the right information, you can protect your electronics from damage. Read on for some key information about preventing a dangerous power surge.
What is a Power Surge?
The basic definition of a power surge is a sudden rise in the electrical current inside a home. This can happen from a direct lightning strike, but that is extremely rare. More common causes of power surges are fallen power lines, an energy spike from an industrial building nearby, or home appliances powering up. The power surge can last only a few microseconds, but that is enough to cause damage to many home electronics.
Be Careful of Your Wiring
The first way to address the threat of power surges is by protecting your entire house. You can invest in a home suppressor, which is designed to control the energy consumption of larger appliances that could cause a power surge. When connected to the right service panel, a suppressor will detect unsafe rises in energy and shut off the source or reroute it to a ground wire. It's best to consult an electrician before installing a suppressor. Another thing you can do to protect your home is to check that none of your outlets are overloaded. Too many things plugged into the same outlet can cause power surges and create a fire hazard.
Protect Your Electronics
We all have valuable electronics, such as computers and cell phones, that we don't want ruined by a power surge. Fortunately, you can protect them by plugging them into a surge station or using power strips with surge protectors. Additionally, you should consider covering valuable electronics with your home insurance.

Powell adds voice to Katrina criticismComments
Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell has joined the chorus of Americans criticizing the response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
As water levels slowly begin to fall in New Orleans, Powell said there had been failures at local, state and federal level. His comments come as a new opinion poll found 67 per cent of Americans thought the president could have done more to speed up relief efforts. George W. Bush however is assuring survivors that their needs will be met. "The government is going to be with you for the long haul," he said. "In all the steps we take, our goal is not to simply provide benefits, but to make them easy and as simple as possible to collect." Congress has approved fresh emergency aid worth over 40 billion euros and relief supplies are now pouring in from around the world, including the United States' southern neighbour Mexico. And in the wake of a catastrophe that has killed hundreds, and possibly thousands, NATO has given the order for alliance ships and aircraft to help deliver European aid.

She's had four natural births: two days of labor at home concluded with a hospital birth, a water birth in a birth center, a home birth, and, by accident, an unassisted home birth. Her name is Sarah Clark and she is a natural childbirth educator, also known as the Birth Boot Camp instructor. Throughout her classes and her gorgeously informative blog, Mama Birth, Sarah inspires us to learn what we can innately do with our own bodies and minds throughout the pregnancy, birthing and parenting process.
Sarah's classes are educational, fun and interactive; with dolls, scarves, condoms and more, she constantly keeps each mother and father-to-be full of engaging inquisition. She takes couples through the many stages of pregnancy, labor and postpartum experiences covering various aspects of labor, spousal support, doula and midwife education, natural induction methods, relaxation techniques practiced in-class and at home, breast feeding benefits and how-tos, along with videos and personal stories. Sarah provides each couple with a small tote filled with a pen, a few labor snacks, two breastfeeding DVDs and a book, full of information such as summaries of labor stages, positive affirmations, kegel and food trackers, newborn procedures, and a guide to belly mapping – a way to connect with your baby and discover its often-changing position.
Eager to share her knowledge with others, Sarah happily agreed for an interview. After putting her youngest down for bed and nestling her other three with full bellies on the couch to watch The Princess Bride, she conveyed a bit of her experience and views on the power of women, men, children and entire cultures and how we are all a part of the birth process …
Jessica: Often women relate by sharing birthing stories, even though they've experienced various births. How have your personal births helped you educate women about birth and the body?
Sarah: Each birth that you get to experience is different. I think birth is always very humbling because you never know what will happen, no matter how well you prepare. With each birth, I've learned things about myself and been able to relate to other women. I remember with my first, I prepared really well and I had always wanted a natural birth. But when it was over (and I had a really long birth) I understood why people had epidurals; I realized how differently it could have gone if I hadn't been blessed with the knowledge that I had going into my birth.
That is partly why education is so important to me. Even with my fourth, and I had been teaching for years by then, it was a completely different experience, and for me, the first time I actually wanted pain medication. That was also humbling and eye opening for me. I was at home and that was partly why I had a natural birth, but also I realized if I hadn't had the confidence from my previous births, I wouldn't have believed I could have gone through that labor because it was more painful than my others. I thought if I was a first time and that was my first birth, it would have been so hard, I would have gotten the epidural if I were in the hospital. Now as I meet other women that have been through my class who have experienced a posterior labor that was painful, I am able to relate to them better.
Jessica: As a mother who has birthed naturally, you mention that you can understand how women have wanted an epidural when you personally experienced a level of pain with your last birth. What are your thoughts of women who have had medical interventions? Do you find yourself more or less judgmental?
Sarah: I think a lot of things when I hear people's birth stories (Sarah laughs). I think having more children has helped me a lot and made me more accepting in some ways. I still feel strongly that natural birth is the best option. I see some people, in the birth community in particular that have the attitude as if – everything is ok, as long as you do what's best for you. I don't believe that. I do believe natural birth is the best way, and I believe that because I am a natural birthing mother.
But as I meet women and I hear their stories, I care about them and I can find a way to understand why people make different choices – that doesn't mean I always agree with them. I always feel sad for somebody who I know really wanted a natural birth and didn't get it because I know it was important to them.
J: I often find some women proud to share their experience, while others feel ashamed of their birth stories. Why do many women take their births personally?
Sarah: Birth by its nature involves our bodies and our hormones and our emotions and everything in us. If everything doesn't go as some women wanted, they often feel betrayed by their bodies.Sometimes even the language women use, such as saying, "the baby wouldn't move, the baby wouldn't drop down, the baby was stubborn" reveals an issue that the mother might possibly have felt that baby wouldn't cooperate. It's very personal.
For a lot of women, it's hard not to have body issues in our culture already – from the way we view women and the way we expect women's bodies to be or to fit into a certain mold. If the birth doesn't go as planned, often the blame is put on the mother with comments such as, "the mother wasn't big enough" or "the baby wouldn't handle labor with the mother."
And lastly, I think a lot of women feel judged by other women. While some of that is real, some of it can be doubt about our own choices and feeling as if others are judging us because we're not sure we made the right choice. There are a lot of reasons why things go the way they do, and some of that can be our choices – but it can also be the choice of care provider or the choice of birthplace. And often a large part of how things go is totally out of our control. Sadly, I notice there's always someone to blame when it doesn't go as planned, and often that blame is placed on the mother who probably feels hurt already.
J: People often think birth is a woman's experience. You're teaching others that it is not only the woman's experience, but also the man, the baby, even other support circles such as a birth center or a doula can impact the birth experience. Can you explain the importance or reasoning for this more communal approach?
Sarah: Depending on whom you ask, people would answer it differently. For me, I view birth as the life event. It is part of my belief system that family is important and birth is the expanding of the family, so to me it is sacred and involves more than one person. It always involves the child, if there is more than one child, it involves the others too, and the partner. Since I teach couples, it's amazing to see the growth, the way they work together and how much happier they are when they are able to go through birth together.
It's really tragic for a family when things spiral out of control and the partner feels completely helpless. I often hear women mad at their partner because he didn't say the right thing or do the right thing – or because he slept in the corner and didn't know what to do. It can be really traumatic for dad if he feels useless and doesn't know what is going on. If men are not prepared, that is often what happens, and it's not a great start for a new family. I would want the birth to be a great experience for the entire family that brings them together, makes them love each other more and gives them the confidence to start parenthood – because parenting is much harder than birth. If you got through it together (often people fear it) and it was a good experience, that gives you the confidence for the things that are going to happen down the road. It's crucial for the couple's relationship together and for the parenting relationship with the child. So yes, it is much more than an experience just for the Mom. It's a family experience.
One thing that's happened since the 1950s since men were brought into the delivery room is that we now expect men to be in the delivery room, but the sad thing is we haven't prepared them how to be there. Women want men to be a part of the birth experience, yet almost always, they go in not knowing anything – about labor, about how things work in the hospital, about how she'll act, the noises she may make. It's tragic because we want him to be there, but we don't give him any tools, which isn't fair to anybody involved. No matter what people are planning, no matter how they want to birth, each couple should take a comprehensive class to help prepare them so they aren't blindsided by the overwhelming experiences.
J: How do women work through fears of birth? Are there any common fears?
Sarah: As an educator, I think a huge part of it is education and understanding the process biologically what happens, emotionally what happens, even knowing what to expect from your care provider. All of that knowledge is helpful and will combat most of those fears. Knowing what's normal and talking to other women who've had good experiences versus reading the bad stories or watching what television feeds us empowers women as well. Often women share negative birth experiences, which builds fear. Building a community of supportive people is crucial so you can hear positive stories. You can do it in a class, with your birth team, or friends and family.
As far as common fears, for women who are birthing in the hospital, they worry about who their care provider is going to be. Almost every hospital and care provider in the country rotates call. This leaves women usually with a group of doctors and unable to know ahead of time who will be there at their birth. That's a newer thing. Fifty years ago, when you had an obstetrician, he was your OB and he come to your birth, even if it was in the middle of the night. Obstetrics has really moved away from that, as well as hospital midwifery. I can see the professional reason for this change and the difficulty in working on-call, showing up on holidays, and I can see the need as far as insurance reimbursement and the need to spread out care, but it is a disservice to women. Honestly, I think that's one of the reasons women chose a home birth because they know who will be at their birth.
Another fear is pooping in labor. For many women, that seems like such a private thing and people don't want to do that in front of a nurse they've never met, a doctor or even their spouse. But that goes back to the importance of feeling safe about where you are birthing and with whom you are birthing. If you don't know who you're having your baby with, it can be scarier to know that you will literally let go in every way in front of them. Many women that are secure where they are birthing are not afraid of that, although there are a lot of factors that pertain to that fear. Ultimately, many women are afraid of losing control.
J: How do men or partners work through fears of birth? Are there any common fears?
Sarah: I feel as though I keep giving the same answer…education is huge for men. Often they want to know what's happening in her body and to understand what the process is like. Almost across the board, when I've completed a class, men are no longer afraid because they understand the process. The process of birth is something even women don't understand – it's not something we often talk about.Even seeing a picture and seeing birth movies show how different women labor and the sounds that they make really helps men overcome many fears.
A big fear that men have is watching her suffer, watching her in pain. Often partners want to be able to save each other from something hard. I think that's universal. Not only to men want to save their partner, women want to save their partner too. Men just need tools [no pun intended] so they can know specific ways to help – ways to touch, things to say say, things to do and working together even before the birth so they go in with confidence. Men want to know they can do this as a partner, they can help her and they can make her feel better. It gives the partner, the dad, confidence.
J: So what are verbal cues that are helpful for women during labor?
Sarah: I include many in the book I give to all couples in my birthing classes. Being positive is crucial. Telling her, "You're going a great job, I love you, you are amazing, I am so proud of you, I am amazed by your power and strength, we are doing this together, breath for the baby, I am right here with you" and "My hand is right here" are some words of encouragement women want to hear. But some women aren't going to want to be talked to.
The other positive thing about using positive words or affirmations is that it might make her feel better, even if she's not asking for it, because often women don't feel like they're doing well. They may be quiet, but in their head they feel crazy. So just hearing, "you're doing great" is helpful. If dad is saying, "look at her, she's a natural, she's so good at this," nobody is going to argue with him and say, "no she's not." But if he says nothing, somebody might say, "Oh, honey, you look tired. Do you want something to take the edge off?"
J: With all the medical advancements, why would women want to have a natural birth?
Sarah: It's the best way to do it! Unless something goes very wrong – it's great to have the medical advancements, but there were not invented just to be used willy-nilly on everybody. The purpose of a cesarean section or some sort of pain relief, in my mind is only for the people that need it, not to be used on everybody. And research tends to support that – natural birth, if possible, is the safest for mom and baby. Obviously there will be situations where it's not, where the safest thing is a C-section or Mom needs an epidural to relax so that labor can progress. I know that happens and I am grateful it exists, but right now we are using the "what ifs" for every day and using it on everybody. There is some desire for that too, some people don't want to experience all the sensations of labor.
J: Our culture promotes spending hours of planning a wedding, but many of us do not take the time to plan our births (besides decorating the nursery and buying cute outfits). Why do you think that is and do you think this way of thinking can shift?
Sarah: I think people don't realize how important birth is until they have one. They don't realize how much it is going to affect them, the way they feel, even the way they feel about themselves. I think people don't realize the emotional impact that it is going to have on them and they can't even really imagine it. I talk to some people that can't get the money together for a class. I understand they are on a tight budget, but I have done it and I also understand the money is worth it. But you can't always communicate that or convince others. And some women have to come to that on their own after a hard birth. I do not feel that it is my role to force it on anybody. When people really want to learn something, they'll learn it. If they don't want to learn it, they're not going to – some women will come to it and some women won't. I am opinionated about birth…I really think there is nothing wrong in having a strong opinion, in being passionate about something. But I respect people's different opinions. You can't make somebody have a natural birth.
J: My favorite final question to all my interviews: If you could teach people one thing you've learned in life, what would it be?
Sarah: We have less control than we think we do. You prepare as much as you can, so that you can control as much as you can. Even with birth. You stack the cards in your favor, but you have to recognize that you don't always get to pick happens. But you can still do your best – do your best with your spouse, do your best with your children – and then let go of the rest because you can't control everything. You can't control other people, and we all live with or around other people. There's always going to be an element that is out of our control.
Since this interview, I have given birth and begun to raise a beautiful little boy. Nothing I planned happened. I was transported from my home to the hospital, the decelerating heartbeat taken from my abdomen. His birth, though not as I'd expected, was exactly how it was meant to happen. "I think birth is always very humbling because you never know what will happen, no matter how well you prepare." These words that Sarah spoke to me over a hear ago now ring oh so true. Humbling. How humbling birth is, motherhood – this whole journey. But, though humbling and hard, it does not mean we can't care, we can't try, we can't hope. We birth children squatting in homes, lying in hospital beds; we are ripped open and cut open, we are mended and healed. Each of us is stronger, braver and wiser through our birth – no matter what the outcome. That is what this journey is all about – our hope, our expectations and our trying and trying again and again, carrying us through our beautifully imperfect lives.

Generalized Motives and Symplectic Orientations
Lundi, 14 Janvier, 2019 - 14:00
Résumé :
In this talk, we present a general framework to construct categories of motives starting from a cohomology theory E without Thom isomorphisms and build part of the six operations formalism for these categories. In the case E=Chow-Witt, we discuss symplectic orientations, duality and compute the group of morphisms between smooth proper schemes in the category of effective motives.

M.A.S.K.: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand
M.A.S.K.: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand is a 2016-2017 ongoing comic series published by IDW Publishing, based on the 1985 Kenner toyline. The series began with a one-shot tie in to the Revolution event, followed by a number one issue. The series centers on Matt Trakker and the M.A.S.K. paramilitary team as they battle against Miles Mayhem and his black ops squad V.E.N.O.M.. Following the First Strike crossover, M.A.S.K. merged with G.I. Joe and relaunched as Scarlett's Strike Force.
General Miles "Mayhem" Manheim runs Project Spectrum, a classified program designed to train participants to combat threats to the Earth. Project Spectrum's recruits are outfitted with special Masks that not only grant the wearer special abilities, but allow them to control vehicles that can transform from normal-looking cars and motorcycles to advanced battle modes. A group of Spectrum recruits consisting of Matthew Trakker, Julio Lopez, Gloria Baker, and Brad Turner are put together as the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, while Vanessa Warfield, Sylvester Rax, and Bruno Sheppard are recruited for... another team.
M.A.S.K. is written by Brandon Easton with pencils by Tony Vargas and colors by Jordi Escuin. Tommy Lee Edwards provides covers for the series, as well as backmatter for each issue.

Membership = Not Badgered out of the Circle!
A few may have encountered the odd, brief downpour as they set off toward the venue, they would have one last bit of rain just before Tent Packer called the opening Circle together. There were a noticeable few who didn't take shelter from this short downfall of precipitation, Ewok & the RA stood their ground & refrained from quivering beneath the bushes & trees in the car park.
While the Pack were taking the piss out of the RA's taped up Hash-shoes, one thing the RA did notice in the car park was the car that Lemming arrived with Mother in, it was best described as being Powder Puff Blue!
The GM did his duties before calling the Hares forward, with Friar Tuck being the 'senior' of the Hares. With a few more visiting Hashers of Daffy Dildo & Ivor Biggun from Cyprus, as well as Foxy Lady & Dead Animal over from Spain, plus the return of Parson's Nose's Son [Sorry your name eludes me as I write this! – Ed] the numbers were given a significant boost. My Lil' took it upon himself to remind the RA of what he had said earlier on during the drive over, about not expecting many to turn out on this Trail.
Three Badge Stocker was introduce as the co-Hare for the Long Trail & then Smartarse with Cauliwobbler as those responsible for the Short Cuts.
For the visitors there was a demonstration of what Herts markings look like, after which the Pack were ushered away through the Pub's extensive garden, through the play area at the far end to get on to the towpath on the Grand Union Canal, by this time the rain had ceased & a spectacularly large rainbow could be seen off over to the east.
On the tow path there an arrow directed the Pack away to the northwest, not too far along this route the Trail led on to the first CHK which was placed by a fairly new looking white footbridge to the new builds on the northeast side of the canal, a couple looked out from the balcony of their apartment as the Keenies ran over the bridge calling "On! On!" when Dust was found, they then watched the same mugs run back again when a T was found!
While the FRBs resumed with running along the towpath, Smartarse & Cauliwobbler took the SCBs of TBT OBE, Psycho, Skip, Ivor Biggun, Daffy Dildo, Smartarse & Friar Tuck's Daughter & her Boyfriend all went off over the white footbridge.
The Trail moved on up to the next available crossing point over the Grand Union Canal, this bridge being a far older affair, a white washed pack-bridge where the next CHK was located.
The first couple of Falsies were found on either side of the canal as it just begins to turn northward, but it was down to Mr X & Mother to find it on the eastside heading southward behind the new homes in this area of former industrial land, this was once a place built up to do with the paper making industry. Sadly all but SAPPI at Nash Mills is all that remains of this large industry.
The Pack were now heading back toward the SCBs, but a left turn would take them out on to Belswain lane, where a CHK was found opposite the Three Tuns Pub, which was decorated with St George Crosses.
A right-hand, south-eastward turn would find the Dust on down by the road works, Foxy Lady was up ahead if Dead Animal. He halted her progress by bellowing out "Wait there!" to her, right at the point when she was beside the red roadwork's sign instructing drivers to do just that when the traffic light was red! Dead Animal & a couple of others found this far more amusing than Foxy Lady did.
The pack crossed the road at the works, then back to the right & once more to left as they found a CHK by the start of Bunkers Lane. A steady climb up beside Abbotts Hill Girls School led up to a CHK just beyond Woodhall lane, this was situated right beside the westerly gate entrance to Long Deans Park. This is an area that Herts had run form the opposite end, down from Leverstock Green.
Lemming took to searching over the grassy valley & up to the Long Deans wood on the opposite ridge, he would be called back but failed to heed Three Badge Stocker's calls to return to the CHK! Meanwhile My Lil', Sludge & a few others fancied the footpath up between the detached homes on the left of Bunkers Lane but all the options northeast of the CHK would prove to be false.
Eventually it dawned on someone that it could be a Check back & so it proved to be as the Pack all made their way back from the four Falsies to take to Woodhall lane, the pace certainly dropped as the Keenies climbed the steep narrow lane. It was on the climb up to this point that Kylie caught up with the Pack.
Lemming decided that he outwit the Hares & thought that he could cut out a run back to the CHK on Bunkers lane & tried to find a way out up by the wooded area at the top of the hill, but as this lane bisects the main school grounds from the old stables, there was no way out for him!
A CHK was discovered by a bend in the lane, the footpath leading off through the thicket woodland proved to be correct & off the FRBs went in a south-easterly direction to a Held CHK at a point by the junction of two footpaths at the edge of another drop down in to a steep valley, it was however really scenic up there.
Ewok left the Held CHK & Sludge was about to accuse her of Checking out before the Hares had sanction this, it turned out she was off for a pee! [Too much info! – Ed]
When the Pack were allowed to start searching again, Mr X, Paxo & Fliptop all found Falsies in the enclosed field to the south. The Trail was then found on the footpath that descended on a curving route around the outside of the perimeter hedgerow, once in the bottom of the valley another CHK was found. This was quickly dismissed for the Pack to embark on a clamber up through a wooded slope to come up to turn out toward the east, a CHK on the edge of the open field caught out Sludge & My Lil' before they realised this was heading back to ground already covered by False Trails earlier.
The Trail headed up to Hyde Farm , there another Held CHK was discovered, just beyond the large & noisy barking dog in the back garden of a property beside the farm. It was around this point that Zing-a-long-a-max caught up with the Keenies & he too followed
While Dead Animal, Mr X, Paxo & a couple of others had a 'sticky bud' fight, Friar Tuck announced that there would be a Short Cut, Hyena & Fliptop took this option along with Friar Tuck, once Dead Animal & Parson's Nose Jnr had come back from finding a T up there. Dead Animal wouldn't forget that the T was altered to an arrow to allow any late comers take this route & follow on behind the Long Trail SCBs!
My Lil' now had the bit between bit teeth as he took up leading on along the field's edge of wispy grass on the way over toward the old radio transmitters in the distance, the majority followed on & this included Dead Animal & Parson's Nose's Son who had come back from the Falsie.
Three Badge Stocker was now looking after the back of the Pack, especially the RA, at this point as he marked the Trail off in to an adjacent field - once the majority had passed by this point.
It was a long way back for the Keenies until they got back on track on the correct path along the edge of the smaller hedged-in field, they too had to pass by the remains of a dead badger. Mr X said it was a shame that Fliptop was on the shorter route, as he could have added this to his dead stoat from the previous week.
In the south-western corner the path disappeared through the hedgerow to lead out on to Hyde Lane, where a CHK was found. The Trail continued on the footpath almost directly opposite, the Pack crossed another crop field & down on to Hartham lane.
Away to the left was a prominent footpath sign & this lured Mr X down this Falsie! The ground he had gained was now lost as be returned to Hartham lane at the rear of the Pack. Things weren't too bad though, as Mr X soon caught up as My Lil' with Lemming & Zing-a-long-a-max as they all fell for the next Falsie out over the fields to the south.
With the Keenies all together, this part of the Pack continued along Hartham Lane to pass by where the Short Cutting FRBs had emerged. Friar Tuck was seen hanging around this point & then he joined Three Badge Stocker in herding the Pack down by the row of picturesque cottages by the farm, these were decorated on the exterior with hanging baskets that were decorated in a style like those you'd find on a canal boat.
Another Held CHK was found almost three quarters of the way down the narrow rustic lane, near to the more modern houses. Just the car passing by spoilt the long downhill trot as the Pack had to scatter to either side of the lane, it was noticed that one of the drivers was not wearing his seatbelt.
At this respite, Dead Animal again remarked to the RA about how he thought the changing of the T to an arrow was out of order, the RA wasn't really concerned. Time to move on & while a few ventured further down the lane, but a handy clue from Friar Tuck meant the Keenies were soon up the short drive & on to fenced in footpath behind the row of homes.
It was a nice long trot between the wooden shuttered fence panels, though it was a little too narrow when the Pack approached the family of civilians walking up the hill, once by them the Hash reached a turn in the path as it heads under the railway line by way of a dark & unlit tunnel.
Most tried to avoid getting their feet wet in the puddles in the low tunnel, these were fed by a drip-dripping from the tracks above. [Hope none of the commuters had flushed the train's toilet overhead? – Ed]
Once out from under the mainline to Euston the Trail led on to Primrose Hill Road, the CHK there was quickly dealt with by Zing-a-long-a-max as he crossed over the pedestrian crossing, with roadwork's by it & he found the Dust leading over the green space of Primrose Hill Park, but as he headed near toward the Grand Union Canal he seemed to lose the Dust.
Coming up behind the FRBs of the Keenies were the Hares, & these two led the rest of the Pack over to the corner of the green area to where an old white footbridge could be seen. The final CHK of the Trail was found on the towpath beside the steps to a footbridge spanning the Grand Union Canal.
A few ventured up these steps, even after "On!" Was called down along the towpath to the north some continued up on to the bridge, it was probably because they knew the Pub was on the west bank & though that this would be the way to the On Inn & not to look at the view as they claimed.
Indeed the "On!" called along the towpath was correct & the Dust was found. It wasn't that far to the On Inn written on the canal side bank, but it would take about another mile before they would actually make it to the On Inn of the Pub!
The Keenies now caught up with both sets of SCBs, just beyond the feeder-lakes that could be seen through the hedgerow on the right & before teaching the railway line once again.
There were a few decorated barges to admire on the way down the canal. All very pretty & nearly as smart as the top that TBT OBE was wearing, Paxo commented on the fact that he was originally only going to do the first CHK, but he continued along with Smartarse, Cauliwobbler, Daffy Dildo, Ivor Biggun, Psycho & Skip as the conversation was so good!
On the way Ivor Biggun was taking a few snaps, which inspired a few to make out that they were actually running [False pretences! – Ed] & he certainly more pictures than the Herts Hash Flash!
The final bit was to pass beneath the main-line railway bridge & then to cross the wooden footbridge to the west bank of the canal, then up was just up on to the narrow road bridge on Red Lion Lane over the canal to the back of the Pub's garden.
The Pack settled in, a couple of things came to the RA's attention, namely TBT OBE mentioning the Qatar reunion weekend, where he was awarded their Hashit when he enquired "You can't be awarded the Hashit for only walking at the back?" Which saw him then awarded the Qatar Hashit!
Once the GM had toasted the Hash at the final circle, it was over to the RA. There were Down-Downs aplenty with the visitors & even a virgin amongst this week's Pack!
The senior Hares were rewarded for a Trail that seemed to please everyone, except for the bit where the T was changed - if you were Dead Animal.
Lemming was not out for his Powder-Puff blue car, but for admitting that he was afraid of Ticks that Mr X had mentioned in the Brussels Full Moon Trail's 'Chalk Talk' especially as the ticks talked about turned out at the final Circle to be just marker pen (correct mark) ticks on the most of the Hares' butt cheeks!
Dead Animal was out for catching out Foxy Lady at the lights, she joined him for being gullible enough to stop, so he had the Red Drink, she had the Amber coloured drink & the green one went to Fliptop to make up the traffic light colours, his was for the Dead Animal he missed & when 'one Dead Animal drinks' all dead animals drink!
All of the visitors were awarded their Hits for taking part in their first H4 Trail.Finally the Hashit, as the RA said "If it's good enough for Qatar Reunion Hash to award their Hashit for someone who walked quietly at the back, minding their own business until they asked a stupid question, then it was Ok for Herts to do the same! TBT OBE got his second Hashit in as many days!

Session details
1 to 1 Personal Coaching
For the 1 to 1 Sessions i use the GROW coaching model in an Outcomes context. In the first session, i invite people to talk about issues that they would like to address. Ideally, we would have identified one, but generally we wouldn`t look at more that 2 or 3 so that we can focus o the key issues.
The last 15 minutes are where we discuss and define what options we have and how they will be accomplished in a realistic time frame. Any subsequent sessions will be of a similar format, except that we will start the session by discussing what has happened inbetween regarding achieving the objectives of the previous session. Again the last 15 minutes will be used to identify the steps to be taken outside of the coaching session to continue building momentum.
The Strategic Conversation package that is conducted over a 60 minute time frame. We will use a 12 step process, filling in a paper template. There are 2 sections to the steps-the 1st six steps are Strategic and the remaining six steps are Tactical. The steps are sequential so will follow in order.
The PR6 Resilience Model is based on current Neuroscience research and addresses 6 factors that influence Resilience.
The 6 Domains are : Tenacity (i.e. Persistence, Realistic optimism and Bounce) Collaboration (i.e. Support networks, Social Context and Manage perceptions), Vision (i.e. Purpose, goals & congruence), Composure (i.e. Regulate Emotions, Interpretation bias and Calm)Reasoning (i.e. Problem solving, Resourcefulness and Anticipate & plan) and Health (i.e. Nutrition, sleep & exercise).
The starting point is to complete the PR6 online questionnaire, This can be completed before the first session or during it. One useful feature of the programme is that after completing it for the first time, you can log back in within the following 3 months and complete the training module for each resilience domain.
When we receive the results (which will be by email) there will be a summary report which will highlight specific areas that need attention. We can employ a Strengths based approach which means that in this programme we would look at the scores over a 3 session period in the following order.
First session. This will be an overview of the report and what the findings are. We will then look at the 1st and 4th Strongest Domain areas.
Second session. We will look at the 2nd and 5th ranked Domain area.
Third session. We will look at the 3rd and 6th ranked (weakest) Domain area.
These 3 sessions will take place over 3 months and access to online resources will be available for 12 months (after 1st time online).

Beaumont (pictured) joined the lender in 2017 as its deputy CEO. Trevor Pothecary, founder of TML, has also been appointed executive chairman.
Pothecary said: "Peter has done a fantastic job since he joined The Mortgage Lender in 2017 and continues to provide strong and decisive leadership as we navigate through the current market challenges."
Beaumont added: "When we announced the anticipated changes to the leadership team in February the world was a very different place. Since then the team at The Mortgage Lender has made me very proud as they have adapted and found new ways of working, like the introduction of remote valuations for buy-to-let applications.
"We are working hard behind the scenes to understand the impact of coronavirus on people's finances and how that shapes the products and criteria the market will be looking for over the remainder of this year and into next."

We set out yesterday to Tarryall Reservoir, as we had heard from local Colorado Division of Wildlife employee that a 42 inch Northern Pike was caught two days ago near the grass at the river inlet by a fly fisherman. I have heard of these monsters and have seen the picutres of them being pulled out of this reservoir but until i pull mine out I can't believe it. We have been studying Pike and their like and dislikes, what are some top baits and techniques to catching your trophy. I have had succes with 4″ Bass Pros Tourney Minnow-Ghost Spook, 4″/6″Husky Jerk-GMN-Glass Minnow and 3″ XPS Single Tail Grubs-White Ice with catching these 14-18″ Northerns and a few babies who are half the size of each bait. However stil yet to get our monster.
There is a couple of YouTube anglers I follow who hunt these preditors in the UK. The technique they use is purchasing some canned sardines/herring and building custom spawning sacks out of mesh netting, using extremely big durable hooks, no less than 20 lbs test and the tension set up for the perfect retrieve. They would catch 2-5 pike over 30 inches, anywhere from 10-30 lbs and in only 20-30 mins in between each fish. I wish we could say that we had as much success yesterday as they did.
We used the spawn sacks like we were told had about 4 bites but lost our fish every time. I am sure they were pike as my wife was killing it Rainbow wise 5 ft from me. I believe that next time I am going to work the inlet with bigger sacks and bigger hooks. I think I was catching babies and the bait sack was too much for them to allow me to set a good hook. I also was recently tipped off to try a 4-6″ Pike replica soft bait. We will hit Denver tomorrow and prepare for a pike style weekend at Tarryall Reservoir.
