Michael Edward Edgerton is an award-winning, critically acclaimed American Composer, whose music has been performed all over the world. He is especially known for his work with contemporary voice and desynchronized sound production in composition. Michael is also involved with research on music that often involves the tools of voice science, acoustics and perception that has been published in scholarly journals and books.
He also works as Associate Professor of Composition at the Guangi University of the Arts in Nanning, China.
"I listen to your recording of Prana and the voice is surprising: it sounds like an oboe. There is not European tradition there. I find interesting your work (with) common interests as continuum and voice. I like what you do and now I'm more convinced about your music writing. It seems to me several coincidences on the same interest with my work; your optics are extremely useful and interesting because they provide the acoustical and psycho-acoustical tools, both indispensable to understand what exactly happens when we deal with a multiplicity of components on which I call the macro-timbre, a fusion of rhythm and sound. … your string quartet and I like it…"
Julio Estrada, COMPOSER
"a gifted composer, he successfully, and compellingly, utilizes the fruits of his research. For instance, in the striking String Quartet #1, he deliberately focuses on the 'origins of organized sound,' in both physical and spiritual dimensions. This music has elements of Xenakis-like textures, melded with the sensitive acoustical manipulations of spectral composers such as Grisey, and yet sounds essentially new, not derivative. … from the awards and performances that he has accumulated, he is obviously making an impact among performers and other musicians, especially in Europe."
Anne LeBaron, COMPOSER
I sense very strongly that you are taking flute music (and thus the art of music as a whole) in a new direction, which I find admirable. There are so many new or newish pieces for flute which have what I can only describe as aeolian sound/tongue ram overload. Your piece completely sidesteps this and plunges the listener into a new world of sound.
James Erber, composer
Cataphora performance by Jan Heinke: Obertontage in Dresden 2009 – 16. September 2009
It was exciting when Jan Heinke premiered a piece of the composer Michael Edward Edgerton. Composed specially for these Overtone Days – great thanks to the Saxon Cultural Foundation – the audience was treated to an impressive, contemporary vocal solo piece, which existed beyond known singing habits. The audience reflected to this with a thunderous applause.
Jens Mügge, Overtone Music Network (http://www.overtone.cc/)
I received with some delay here in Salzburg your very impressive work TEMPO MENTAL RAP. This is indeed a piece I´d love to address to see if I could penetrate its mysteries …I certainly admire Mr. Östersjö for learning it…and I wish I had time in my life right now for this type of pure artistic exploration. … Your idea of taking techniques from this world (Zappa /Vai kind of cutting edge rock derived modernism) and bringing them back to the classical guitar in a way involving a very complicated rhythmic notation is extremely interesting. I … hope our paths will cross some day so that you can help me to more quickly get inside the new world you have found all on your own.
Eliot Fisk, GUITARIST. 15 NOVEMBER 2009
"Search for new styles of expression"
"The Swedish guitarist Stefan Östersjö performed the Tempo Mental Rap of the prizewinner Michael Edgerton, a highly virtuosic work. The well-known expressive possibilities and techniques of this instrument were blown up and thus new sound possibilities were developed. Hans-Peter Jahn, director of new music at SWR, had personally assisted Mr. Östersjö in performance by turning pages of the oversized musical score. The intrinsic rhythmic speech-song (of the Frank Zappa rap) remained exciting with both hands gripping, knocking, hitting and stroking until the conclusion."
Hans-Jörg Lund. Reutlinger General-Anzeiger 29.04.08
RE: Tempo Mental Rap – Prize-winning concert of the Kompositionspreis der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart 2007, April 25, 2008.
"Eloquent gestures full of tension"
"The guitarist Stefan Östersjö whistled along the strings, whispered fleeting noise-clusters and coaxed long drawn out tones from his instrument, sometimes similar to improvised, hectic gestures at dangerously fast speeds.
The "Tempo Mental Rap" was seen to be a ghostly or disembodied piece, in which conventional musical expressions were thrown out, … Throughout the piece, innovative extensions involving sound production .. hinted at an otherworldly expression."
Ulrich Köppen, Stuttgarter Nachtrichten 28.04.08
"Edgerton's piece is one of the most ambitious and wide-ranging solo guitar works in the contemporary literature. The work features quite an unusual expressive range and a great variety of technical means, that include not only traditional performance techniques, such as rasgueado and strumming techniques and tapping, but also using other means to produce sustained source characteristics, such as using metal, wooden and glass objects, small fans and dishwashing pads on the strings. … Edgerton takes a Frank Zappa transcription by Steve Vai as material for variations where the outer boundaries of guitar playing are questioned and re-considered. … Edgerton's work is truly one of the most significant and explorative works to have ever been written for the acoustic guitar. It also gives an idea of how the complexity in procedures of compositional work within modernism can be brought in dialectic relations to a great variety of different modes of expression in contemporary music on the one hand and recent research in different disciplines on the other. In addition, the Tempo Mental Rap gives a strong idea of how strategies and instrumental approaches from experimental free improvisation can be brought into play in structured composition."
Stefan Östersjö, DIRECTOR ENSEMBLE ARS NOVA
"… Edgerton looked after performance practice and tradition of the string quartet, with only a few pauses were intricate figurations with new means of articulation reorganized – such as finely differentiated rules for bow angle and the intensity of the finger pressure. After the first movement I was curious to see how Edgerton applies the findings of his research when referencing Giacinto Scelsi (third movement) and Helmut Lachenmann (fifth Movement). " (translated by M. Edgerton)
"… Edgerton, in his 1 Stringquartet writes a complex music that one can either simply intuitively understand, or can parse out a deeper understanding from the composers' instructions. … is a recent heir to a venerable tradition, in which the last word has not yet been spoken."

Regarding the performance of Anaphora by Almut Kühne in the Leonhardi-Museum Dresden aus: "Licht-Risse" 2011.04.29 in the ProgrammeTexte by Olaf Katzer, Artistic Director, AUDITIVVOKAL DRESDEN (translated by M. Edgerton)
Forty years after Luciano Berio's "Sequenza" the American composer Michael Edward Edgerton has illuminated in his study "Anaphora" the expressive potential of the human voice. A kaleidoscope of 56 different categories of vocal multiphonics shows the wealth that the human carries in vocal expression. It pays to listen closely because simply there are many never heard before sound landscapes, in which multiphonic and polyphonic sound cosmos appears, although they are given by only one woman. These sounds are based neither on witchcraft, nor cast by a mystical spell, but are the result of scientifically based research in the field of voice, made by the composer himself and in his book "The 21st Century Voice".
Since the publication of his book "The 21st Century Voice" (2004), the American composer Michael Edgerton has become one of the leading experts in the search for the expressive possibilities of contemporary voice. No other composer has so systematically and unconditionally applied a compositional approach to every possibility of the human voice. "Anaphora" is at the same time a sound study, in which is presented his research on 56 different classes of vocal multiphonics, opening up a new sound universe. In this system, Edgerton categorizes multiphonics in three large tone and noise groups: voiced-voiced, voiced-unvoiced and unvoiced-unvoiced (with further amendments).
Within the auspices of the program "Licht Risse" Michael Edward Edgerton gave a well-attended public workshop held in the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden, regarding his research and inspiring insights of voice. Almut Kühne Is only the world's third singer to overcome the enormous difficulties in the execution of "Anaphora".
Paul Renan Zelezniak
This unaccompanied solo utilises hitherto untapped resources of the human voice. In achieving this, the central concern in this work was, in the words of the composer," to maintain a sense of coherence that would carry through the procedure of kaleidoscopic change". In addition, Edgerton refers to the "convention of repetition at phrase inception" employed by Shakespeare in Richard II.This not only comprises the constant variation of a single germinal idea (in this case the gamut of emotions expressed by John of Gaunt for the England he loved) but the dramatic effect of repetition itself. Silence between the repetitions functions as the space in which the sound lives.Thus, rather than segregating the repetitions, the pauses maintain a subtle and cohesive impetus throughout.The innate pathos of the work seems to derive from the archaic symbols that embody primal emotions that are integral to the piece.A high degree of intensity is generated, often where dynamics are quieter.The listener is compelled to look inward, to respond rather than to project, and to become aware of the multiplicity of events that occur within a single sound.
Regarding the performance of Anaphora by Almut Kühne in Hellerau (Europäisches Zentrum der Künste Dresden) aus: "Wohlfühlabend mit Musik" 2011.04.01 in Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten by Alexander Keuk
"Modern compositions were given by Jürg Wyttenbach, Georges Aperghis and Paul Barker, which featured a sharp transition between the excerpts from Josquin's Missa da Pacem to Aperghis "Jactation No. 2" – however, in terms of composition, a connection was revealed that lay far beyond the ages. While these three pieces revealed a more playful approach to dealing with the voice, a two-part performance of Michael Edward Edgerton's "Anaphora" for soprano solo burst over, in every respect, the borders of our experience.
Edgerton meticulous vocal acrobatics was performed by Almut Kuehne with full risk, yet tense calm, so that there was in the audience breathless silence…"
"Divergence by Michael Edwards Edgerton followed and this was performed by Stephanie Aston and Argenta Walther. High, bird-like sounds mingled with a low rumbling from the electronics and this soon took on a more frighteningly aggressive character reminiscent of the distant howling of wolves. This increased in savagery as well as loudness, with scratching and baying that gradually morphed into a series of pure pitches that increased in frequency – like a spaceship taking off. These were the result of a weather simulation applied to electronic sounds, a process that allows, according to the program notes, "miniscule irregularities in the initial conditions [to] become responsible for potentially large changes over time." Low, raspy moaning was added and this made a nice organic contrast with the sterile sine waves. Towards the end, the relatively benign tones in the electronics became a series of explosions, as if some battle was occurring. Divergence is an evocative metamorphosis in sound between earthly, natural elements and remote cerebral coolness.")
Review at Sequenza21 after the performance of "Divergence" by Argenta Walther & Stephanie Aston of the the contemporary vocal chamber ensemble Accordant Commons, presented by People Inside Electronics in concert at the Neighborhood Church in Pasadena, California on 2015_11-21
"Artists in the 20th Century became interested not only in color itself as a means of expression, free from the representational, but also in the actual physical process of painting. Composers of music also became interested not only in the new forms having little or nothing to do with the traditional forms of sonata, rondo, etc., but also in the actual physical process of making music. Michael Edgerton, for example, became very interested in the in-between steps of this process, the stages in which the pipe does not speak to its fullest potential, and worked with these stages expressively, in other words formed these processes into a musical into a musical statement. This interest was one of two which contributed to the making of this piece.
The title refers to a piece by Lorenzo da Firenze for two voices in canon to a text which is concerned with the hunt, a caccia. Intense caccia composition took place for a period of about 40 years, ca 1340-1380, and is a type of composition which forms a striking contrast to the idyllic madrigals being composed about the same time. Firenze composed his piece ca. 1370 The caccia music is quoted by Edgerton, but mostly in a manner which only allows us to intimate the source, not recognize it outright. Both interests/influences complement and fructify each other to the extent that they give up their own single identities and become, actually generate, something else: Apposte Messe: Caccia."
(Professor Gary Verkade re: Apposte Messe for the premiere performance)
"Dr. Edgerton is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and inquiring contemporary musicians I have come to know. He is a composer of originality. I have played his Apposte Messe: Caccia for organ, premiered it at Carthage in October of 1998. It is a composition which engenders thought about organ composition and organ performance, what it means to use the instrument organ as a vehicle for compositional thought. The timbral innovations, the rhythmic complexity, and the use of previous material (a Renaissance caccia) necessitated on my part a re-thinking of both playing technique and philosophical attitude towards the instrument and its literature.
Gary Verkade, ORGANIST & COMPOSER.
Mike Edgerton's extended-vocal performance is a tour-de-force: it has the mayhem of contemporary improvisers and performance artists, the shapely beauty of polyphonic traditions from Sardinia to Tuva, and the decay of a smoker's wheeze all at once. His interpretation of the Ursonata is not to be missed.
Christopher Williams
BloodSugarBreath" is a rare form of composing and performing. The notions of music composing are challenged by his work. It is a special way of experimental music that will involve body and finest voice skills. His work will be accompanied by several pieces of video made for this performance, by Márcio Carvalho.

Plane Crash Ridden Chapecoense Football Club To Sign 20 Players Next Season (Read)
January 4, 2017 ( Post 1 )
Brazilian side Chapecoense will sign up to 20 new players for next season and reserve shirt numbers for the players who survived a plane crash.
Nineteen players and coaching staff were killed in November when their plane crashed on the way to the final of the Copa Sudamericana.
The club were awarded the trophy, with Colombian opponents Atletico Nacional given a fair play award. "We are resorting to a lot of loans," said director of football Rui Costa.
"That is a tool for bringing together quality, speed and budget. Many clubs are being partners in this." Centre-back Neto and full-back Alan Ruschel survived and Costa said they "expect" the two players to come back and wear the shirts. Reserve goalkeeper Jackson Follmann also lived but had to have part of his leg amputated.
"No player this season will use the shirts that were worn by Jackson Follmann, Neto or Alan Ruschel," Costa said. "More than a tribute, we expect Alan and Neto to come back and wear them.
Follmann sadly won't be able to but he will certainly be back here with us in some capacity." Chapecoense, who begin pre-season training on Friday, start the domestic season on 26 January with a home game against Joinville.
They have rejected proposals that would have meant they could not be relegated for three years.

Honda Motor Co.'s unit, Honda Aircraft Co., announced that its first HondaJet aircraft, which can apply for Federal Aviation Administration certification, lifted off recently. The flight marks an important step for Honda Aircraft as the initial flight of its first business jet that meets Federal Aviation Administration standards kicks off the federal certification process.
Honda Aircraft operates out of Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, N.C. In 2003, the company flew its first jet, but since it didn't have FAA approval, the aircraft could not be sold commercially.
Honda's new version of the jet was built with parts that meet FAA standards, meaning that the jet can be used for FAA certification tests. CEO Michimasa Fujino hailed the 51-minute flight as a milestone for the company.
He said the company is "very encouraged" by the initial review of the flight data, which shows that the conforming HondaJet performed as expected. Honda Aircraft, since announcing its intentions to build the light business jets, claims to have received more than 100 orders. Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2012.
Honda Aircraft Company President and CEO Michimasa Fujino shared an important milestone of the HondaJet program – its having completed its first flight. The HondaJet was assembled and then tested under the FAA certification process, which is rather strict. The company was pleased, Fujino related, that its first flight was successful.
He shared that the team worked really hard to reach this important step of the program and the results reflect the company's focus and determination when it came to developing a class-leading aircraft, he further related. The initial review of the HonaJet's flight data was very encouraging and indicated that it performed as expected, said Fujino.
As the company moved forward, it continued to focus its every effort and energy to provide customers what may be considered as the most advanced light business jet ever made, Fujino concluded. So that the company's certification program would continue to be supported, the company managed to finish its second aircraft that also conformed to FAA certification.
This second aircraft had already undergone the different structural tests needed in order for it to start its certification flight testing. Honda had already completed mating the main assemblies for its third aircraft, which is FAA-conforming as well. It is currently in its systems installation stage.
The third aircraft is aimed to be used for mechanical systems flight testing and was scheduled to be finished in the early part of 2011. The HondaJet certification program is expected to have five FAA-conforming aircraft, with an additional one for flight test and another for structural test.

Benoy is proud to be involved in two further International Finance Square (IFS) Malls which are being developed by major Hong Kong property company The Wharf Holdings (Wharf). Set to follow the success of the already completed Chengdu IFS, Wharf has appointed Benoy to design its IFS developments in Chongqing and Changsha.
"Benoy is honoured to be entrusted by Wharf as they develop their portfolio in China. Chengdu IFS has proven to be an extremely successful collaboration between our two companies, in terms of both design and commercial viability. We are excited to continue creating architecture that speaks of its time while also developing exciting yet timeless spaces for the people of these cities," commented Ferdinand Cheung, Benoy Director.
The new malls are located in fast-growing cities as Wharf launches and grows its commercial portfolio in China. Like Chengdu IFS which established a diverse 'City within a city' commercial landmark in Western China, the developments in Chongqing and Changsha will look to set a new benchmark for their catchments.
"These projects are challenging in both their size and scale, Changsha IFS being the largest of the three schemes. As the sector evolves, the complexity of the programmes and connectivity within these mixed-use developments continues to increase," explained Ferdinand.
Covering a total development area of 1,026,000m2, Changsha IFS (pictured) will be located in the Furong District's Jiefang Road in the core of the Central Business District (CBD). Ensuring ultimate connectivity and high footfalls, the scheme will be connected to the future underground interchange hub for metro lines 1 and 2. The mall will also act as an extension to one of the busiest pedestrian streets in China – Huang Xing Pedestrian Shopping Street – sitting opposite to the entrance of the well-known area.
Changsha IFS will have a retail street frontage of more than 700m, forming the longest 'Street' experience in Wharf's portfolio. The 230,000m2 retail mall will have premium offers spanning Entertainment, Lifestyle, Retail, Culture and Food and Beverage. The podium will also interface with two towers soaring to 452m and 315m, each featuring a hotel, to create a diverse commercial destination.
In Chongqing's new CBD, where the Yangtze River meets the Jialing River, the site for Chongqing IFS is being developed as a joint venture between Wharf and China Overseas Land. Creating a highly efficient commercial footprint, the project combines four adjacent sites into one to form a stately and innovative masterplan. Two light railway lines are set to pass through the area with respective stations nearby, establishing excellent transportation links.
The scheme sits adjacent to the Chongqing City Grand Theatre, the Chongqing Science Museum and the Central Park, to bring further diversity to the Jiangbei Commercial District. Flanked by a 300m landmark tower and four additional towers, the 102,000m2 retail podium will unite Retail, Commercial Offices and Hospitality with panoramic views across the river. Positioned as a boutique retail mall, Chongqing IFS will showcase celebrated brands and a wide spectrum of fine dining and entertainment anchors including a cinema and ice rink.
Chongqing IFS is due for full completion in 2016 and Changsha IFS will complete in phases starting from 2016. Benoy's scope for both projects includes Masterplanning, Retail Architecture, Interior and Graphic Design.

Colin Cowherd seems to love throwing things out there for the sake of just throwing them out there.
And the Fox Sports personality did it again today, suggesting that the Tennessee Volunteers go after former NFL head coach and current ESPN Monday Night Football analyst John Gruden. And pay him $10 million to be their head coach.
As far as we know, Gruden's not even on the market, and hasn't been for almost a decade. Things like that never stopped Cowherd from spewing completely random thoughts before, though.
RELATED: Former NFL Pro Bowler Wes Welker wants to join college coaching staff
On the flipside, Gruden, a Super Bowl winner with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a head coach, would be a really good acquisition for almost any team, not to mention a college program like Tennessee.
The absurdity in Cowherd's suggestion lies in the ludicrous amount of money he seems to think Gruden should be paid.
Ten million? Nick Saban made $6.9 last season.

I LOST 8kgs in 2 mounth..
I was have an aerobicmixed class twice a week. It's about one and half hours. But I felt so lazy when my lil girl got in elementary school. So I never came in to join the class again. And 1 year after, I realized that my body has lost its shape, especialy my abs, it was look like a 6 mounth pregnancy…o my God..My friends called me "Faty". I was desperated…you know how hard to back to my normal weight..even 1 kg lost. Untill one of my friend told me to start diet like she always do. It's so simple but still healthy.
2 mounth ago I started my diet, and I lost 2kg in first week…Thanks God.
After that I lost 1,5kg in second week, 1kg in third week, and 0,5kg in everyweek after.
Without feeling hungry or pain, cheap, and health.
Now my shape is back, I'm 48kg. After 8 kg added in 1 year without any exercise. NoW I want to share with all about how simply my diet was, actually I am still doing it till now, to keep my shape.
Let's try..
Breakfast : 2 sliced wheat bread plain nothing added or spread
1 glass fruit juice ( I prefer carrot, apple, lemon and 1 tbsp honey
Snack (10 am) 1 glass fruit juice (evrything you like)
Lunch : a half hour before lunch try to eat an apple, it makes our stomach feelfull
4 tbsp rice with meat or fish or egg , a cup vegetable fried without oil
Snack ( 4 pm) 1 glass fruit juice
Dinner : vegetable and fruit, it can be a cup of salad with yoghurt dressing.
or fresh or steamed veg, juice or everykind you like.
Important notice:
# If you feel hungry between, never take snack with many fat like potato chip or something like that. Always remember to feel your stomach with vegetable or fruit. They healthy n good for your body, contain many vitamins, rich of calories and minerals but have no fat or any cholesterol. Help your ingestion.
#You can change Wheatbread or rice with whitebread, Oatmeal or Cereal, or milkshake.
#You can choose many fruit for juice, mix 2 or more or just 1 kind of fruit. Always use non chalories sweetener or honey.
#Pick your own way to prepare your food, but never use too many oil. Use olive oil or non cholesterol oil, or vegetable oil.
# Don't push yourself too hard, if you feel loss yourstrength, eat some food with rich calories like a pc of Chocolate or palmsugar. Banana, apple or strawberry. Biscuit or cookie.
# Don't forget to drink many waters. We need 8 glasses of water a day.
#Drink non fat milk, to keep your bone strong without getting fat.
#Use only fresh vegetable n fruit, to avoid stomachache.
Enough calories, enough fibres, enough vitamins and enough minerals make good digestion.
Good digestion make all parts of your body work properly. If they work properly, they formed strong immunity to a disease.
Always positive thinking and never forget to thank to God for everything you have got. Without God we are nothing.
Good luck and success..
It's important that we eat plenty of different fruits and vegetables every day. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other substances that are important for good health. Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories and are filling.
You've probably heard about the 5 A Day for Better Health program. It provides easy ways to add more fruits and vegetables into your daily eating patterns. It's vital that we eat a wide variety of colorful orange/yellow, red, green, white, and blue/purple vegetables and fruit every day. By eating vegetables and fruit from each color group, you will benefit from the essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that each color group has to offer alone and in combination.
There's several different yet simple ways to start incorporating vegetables and fruit into your familiar and favorite meals. You can begin your day with 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice, slice bananas or strawberries on top of your cereal, or have a salad with lunch and an apple for an afternoon snack. Include a vegetable with dinner and you already have about 5 cups of fruits and vegetables. You may even try adding a piece of fruit for a snack or an extra vegetable at dinner.
Don't be afraid to try something new to increase your vegetable and fruit intake. There are so many choices when selecting fruits and vegetables. Kiwifruit, asparagus, and mango may become your new favorite. Keep things fresh and interesting by combining fruits and vegetables of different flavors and colors, like red grapes with pineapple chunks, or cucumbers and red peppers.
Get in the habit of keeping fruits and vegetables visible and easily accessible – you'll tend to eat them more. Store cut and cleaned produce at eye-level in the refrigerator, or keep a big colorful bowl of fruit on the table.

Six Steps to Living Long and Staying Healthy
According to Laura L S Mueser, Perinatal Social Worker from University of Washington Medical Center wrote, there's 6 step to living long and staying healthy. Maybe we can try to do that step by step. That's not too hard to follow, very easy I thought. but it depend to ourself for making it easy or not. Let's see.
Step 1:
Your body needs some foods to stay strong and healthy. Other foods, if eaten too often, contribute to many illnesses. Here are some guidelines:
Eat 6-11 servings a day of breads or grains, like rice, pasta, tortillas, or cereal.
Eat 3-5 servings a day of vegetables, like carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, broccoli, or peas.
Eat 2-4 servings a day of fruits, like apples, peaches, mangos, bananas, or fruit juice.
Eat 2-3 servings a day of meat, fish, beans, eggs or nuts, for protein.
Eat 2-3 servings a day of dairy products like yogurt, cheese, or milk.
Cut down on alcohol, fatty foods such as butter, grease, or oil, and "junk food" like chips or candy.
Step 2:
Regular physical activity helps people: live longer and feel better throughout their lives, be stronger and more flexible, build strong bones and fight osteoporosis, prevent depression, strengthens your ability to fight off illness, maintain a healthy body weight.
It is best to get at least one half hour of exercise three times a week, but any amount of exercise is better than none at all! If you do not want to go jogging or swimming, try going for a brisk walk with a friend, working vigorously in the yard, or riding your bike to work.
Step 3:
When you are in a good state of mind, you make good decisions for yourself about your job, your lifestyle, and your health. \
Here are some things you can do to keep your mind healthy:
Reduce stress in your life.
Make time in your life for things that are fun. Make a list of activities you like and sure you have at least a little time each day for doing something you enjoy.
Get enough sleep.
Most Peolpe get too little sleep. Being sleepy reduces your concentration, increases mood swings, and causes many car accidents.
Get help if you feel depressed or anxious for more than several days at a time.
Talk with a friend or your health care provider for some help.
Step 4:
Tobacco causes more health problems than any other drug and is the most addictive, most widely used. Cutting down or stopping the use of cigarettes, cigars, or chewing tobacco can save your health and save your money.
Too much alcohol is definitely dangerous, causing liver damage, fetal alcohol syndrome, and accidents. The tricky question is, how much is too much?
Step 5:
Accidents and injuries are the second leading cause of death.
Accidents in the home cause thousands of permanent injuries every year.
Here are some steps you can take to stay safe:
1. The most common accidents are fires, falls, and drownings. Help yourself and your family to stay safe by:
# Installing smoke detectors,
# Have your vision checked

Many people think they only need to see a doctor when they are sick or injured. The truth is, health care providers are also experts at preventing illnesses and finding and treating problems before you ever feel sick.
1. Find a health care provider who works WITH you.
2. Know what diseases you are at risk for and attend regular screenings for them.

Life is too short to be wasted. Healthy life is a way to enjoy it. Health is easy if we want to. Health is not just being good phisicly, but also mentally. Healthy life formed from our brain, our soul and our body. They have to feed with different food. We feed our brain with knowledge, our soul feeds with faith of religion, and healthy food and exercise for our body. If we take care of that 3 item, I believe that HEALTH IS EASY…

Young and Older Farmers' Perception and Assessment of Government Agricultural Agencies in Poland
This article attempts to determine significance of differences among young and older farmers' judgments on selected performance aspects of two EU paying agencies in Poland, namely Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARMA) and Agricultural Market Agency (AMA). The survey across Poland was conducted in late 2006 on a total of 194 respondents. The Likert-scale questionnaires were used to obtain data responses regarding the performance of the agencies. The sampling unit was the individual farm, the respondent being the person in charge of managing the farm and being customer of both agencies. The following hypotheses were set up for the study: 1. The young and older farmers' perceptions of the government agencies impact on economic situation of agricultural holding are not significantly different; 2. The perceptions of young and older farmers of the government agencies' role performance are not significantly different. These hypotheses have been empirically tested using the Z-test. Hypothesis no 2 was rejected for two agencies whereas Hypothesis no 1 was rejected for one agency (AMA). Study reveals that both young and older respondents are more familiar with ARMA (responsible, among others, for the direct payments to farmers) than with AMA (responsible for market measures). The overall results of the present study suggest that on average Polish young farmers are more knowledgeable about Government agencies and more critical of the agencies performance than older farmers. Consequently, policy makers, Government and its agencies should more carefully look into some problems facing young people in Polish farming.

How something looks says as much about you as the words you speak. In fact, how something looks is often the litmus test of whether a message is even believed. Think about it. Would you view a product as high quality if the design resonated otherwise? Would you consider a company trustworthy if their materials looked anything but?
Creating a design that not only reflects a brand or a message, but actually enhances it is serious business. And it's a business that Merkel Design has excelled at for close to 20 years and across all categories of consumer
and business communications.

Old bread?
Got a package of old bread laying around? Well, take it out
and cut most of the crust off.
Oil an owen dish.
Arrange bread so it cover´s the bottom. Pour on a little cream,
sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Take out mushrooms from the freezer, thaw and layer on the bread.
Layer some cut tomatoes on top and julienne basil and spread on top.
Second layer.
Little cream to top off. Salt & pepper. Sprinkle with cheese.
This came out really good, such a tender taste! Great use of old bread!

(5 Saturdays) with Margaret Dwyer, PhD
Our Mission
Started in 1916, the Theosophical Society in Detroit is dedicated to raise our consciousness about theosophical concepts and to provide programs and guidance to all who are interested in living a spiritual life.
The Theosophical Society (TS) is a local lodge of the world-wide society represented in 70 countries with headquarters in Chennai, India. It was first started by H. P. Blavatsky and Colonel Henry S. Olcott in 1875 in New York. The teachings of theosophy (theos means Gods and Sophia is wisdom or the wisdom of Gods) are found in many cultures all over the world and at all times in history.
The Society seeks to promote the practical realization of the universal brotherhood of humanity without any distinctions, to encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science, and to investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in the human being.
"It is said that whenever we practice Dharma it should always be pervaded by compassion at all times – in the beginning, in the middle and at the end of our practice. Compassion is the source, the real essence of the entire path."- Khenpo Appey Rinpoche

Mayor Bill de Blasio Monday committed to starting 1,000 construction projects and issuing 1,500 reimbursement checks by year's end to aide homeowners still reeling from the devastation caused two years ago by superstorm Sandy.
De Blasio announced the plans at a news conference in a flood-damaged Queens community.
It's a continuation of the Build It Back program started by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Although the initiative was designed to provide assistance to victims of the 2012 storm, when de Blasio took office in January, there had been no construction starts or checks issued.
Since then, de Blasio said, the city has overseen 727 construction starts and sent 878 checks.
John Galimi, 45, whose Broad Channel home de Blasio visited, said his insurance payout alone was not enough to cover the cost of reconstruction.
"It's been a long two years, just like everybody else who was affected by Hurricane Sandy, and without the Build It Back program, we weren't going to be able to get back into our house," Galimi said.
After bouncing from a friend's house to rented homes, Galimi and his wife, Jayme, 44, are set to return to a storm-resistant house by Christmas.
Build It Back has not been without setbacks.
Galimi noted "bumps" and "curves" in the process, but told other applicants, "You've got to keep with it."
Amy Peterson, director of the city Housing Recovery Office, said 6,000 families have withdrawn their applications to Build It Back or have been deemed ineligible for help. She urged them to reapply, though de Blasio stressed they still may not be eligible.
A sign down the block from Galimi's home called Build It Back and other government programs a "failure," denouncing prioritization by income level, a standard that de Blasio eliminated to expand program eligibility.
De Blasio said the city will soon release new requests for proposals to increase design and construction capacity.

SANTA ROSA (CBS SF) – Investigators Wednesday afternoon released new details about the shooting death of a 13-year-old boy by Sonoma County sheriff's deputies south of Santa Rosa on Tuesday afternoon.
Andy Lopez Cruz was carrying a fake gun that resembled an assault rifle along Moorland Avenue north of West Robles Avenue around 3:15 p.m. when two deputies pulled over to confront him, according to Lt. Paul Henry of the Santa Rosa Police Department, which is handling the investigation.
Andy was carrying the gun in his left hand at his side as he was walking, Henry said. At a news conference this afternoon, Henry displayed the gun Andy was carrying alongside a real AK-47 assault rifle.
Andy's gun had a thinner barrel that was 6 to 8 inches shorter than the real rifle and was colored differently but was missing the orange plastic tip that typical differentiates a fake gun from a real one.
After spotting Andy and stopping their marked patrol car with the top rotating lights activated about 20 to 30 feet from him, the deputies called for backup, sheltered behind the open car door and ordered Andy to "put the gun down," Henry said.
Andy, wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and shorts, was walking with his back to the two deputies. After they yelled the order, he started turning around and as he did one of the deputies said he saw the barrel of the gun rising and turning toward him, according to Henry.
Sonoma Sheriff's Deputies Shoot, Kill Teen Boy With Replica Rifle In Santa RosaKCBS' Jeffrey Schaub Reports
The deputy, fearing for his safety and knowing that style of gun could penetrate body armor, the metal exterior of the patrol car and the walls of the houses nearby, fired several rounds at Andy, striking him at least once, Henry said.
Andy immediately fell to the ground. The deputies approached him and handcuffed him and realized he was unresponsive. They then began life-saving measures and called for medical assistance, Henry said.
Andy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Christina Avila of Santa Rosa, whose daughter was a classmate at Lawrence Cook Middle School with Andy, attended Wednesday's news conference and said she was not satisfied with the police explanation.
"Why couldn't they just shoot him in the leg?" she asked. "We don't know why they had to take it to the extreme."
She said she didn't hear a provocation for the shooting in the police narrative. "It's natural for someone to turn towards someone when someone yells at you," Avila said.
Andy lived only about a half-block from the shooting scene and had four siblings, an older brother and sister and a younger brother and sister, according to Avila.
She said that in the rural neighborhood, children having pellet guns is not unusual.
Thirteen-year-old Maglay Bejaran, a friend of Andy's, said she saw him about 5 minutes before the shooting. She said he was going to a friend's house, and she saw he had a plastic thing in his hand, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Maglay said Andy was a good person, and that, "It's sad how he was innocent and they just shot him."
The gun he was carrying was capable of shooting plastic projectiles, according to Henry. Andy was also found with a clear plastic fake handgun tucked in his waistband that did have the orange plastic tip on the barrel indicating it was not a real gun.
Henry said that Andy had been asked to leave school that day but did not elaborate why.
"It's a tragic event no doubt for the family, the community and the deputies," Henry said.
This morning, Andy's friends posted mournful messages on his Facebook page. "Bye Andy R.I.P." one friend wrote.
Grief counselors and therapy dogs were on hand at Cook Middle School Wednesday morning, school principal Linsey Gannon said.
"Our community is very shaken by this tragedy," she said. "He was a very popular student."
Andy was also a talented musician who played the trumpet, Gannon said.
"He was a handsome young man with many friends and a lovely family. He will be missed," she said.
Gannon was unable to confirm reports that Andy had just transferred to another school last week.
The deputies involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave while Santa Rosa and Petaluma police and the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office investigate the incident.
Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas issued a statement Wednesday promising to do everything in his power to ensure the investigation into the shooting would be "thorough and transparent."
"As a father of two boys about this age, I can't begin to imagine the grief this family is going through," he wrote. "This is a tragedy on many levels…for the terrible loss of Andy Lopez, his family, the family's loved ones, friends, our community and the members of the sheriff's office."

I've always been a fan of the four day work week, and an even bigger fan of Spain's shiniest gem: the siesta. I would love nothing more than for America to welcome the siesta with open arms. But hearing this news devastated me: The Prime Minister of Spain would like to say sayonara to the Siesta. He announced a plan to phase it out completely, which would bring their work day to a close at 6pm instead of 8pm. Right now, people get to work around 9am and take a 2-3 hour break around lunchtime, the way God intended it. Now, they want to strip that all away. Reason being that naps are great but they're pretty bad for business. Guess they'll just have to learn to be miserable just like the rest of us.
Humans have lots of technology now, but what about the animal kingdom? All they have is a robotic treat dispenser. But now times are a changin' and even cows can track their calories now. They've invented a Fitbit for cows. A wearable tracking device that promises you can get more out of your cow. It will track their sleep, mating habits and any other significant activity. This is all designed to increase milk production by 15% and help farmers make as much a $500 more per month. It can also help determine how healthy your cows are or if it's time to "bring it out to pasture" if you know what I mean.
Do you sound like a total jerk when you email people? Are your texts too abrasive? Maybe not enough happy face emojis? There is help for you. It's a service that will diagnose your sentences and find ways to make them more polite. With a new website called Foxtype.com you can enter a chunk of text and it will break it all down for you. Have at it, PLEASE 🙂
Cutting the cord can be a liberating experience. The only time it kind of sucks is when you're trying to watch the 49ers lose or Chris Rock raise money for Girl Scouts. Many awards shows and sporting events are still tough to find online, but this year will be different thanks to Yahoo and Twitter. Yahoo will live-stream at least one MLB game a day for the entire season. Soo…just hope it's the one you want to watch. Additionally, Twitter just got the rights to stream ten Thursday night football games throughout the season. The NFL has streamed games before, but this is the very first season-long streaming deal, and it's going to the Twitter underdogs as companies like Amazon and Facebook tried but could not land the deal. So if you're a sports fan who hates cable, this season will be a hell of a lot more enjoyable.
Board shorts and puka shell necklaces just ain't selling like they used to. Which is why nowadays a Pacsun can only be found in the forgotten corners of an indoor mall. Now it seems even that isn't working anymore, because it's going the way of Roscoe's. They plan to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy as early as next week. Aside from a private investment of $60 million dollars, they're pretty much broke. Why don't people want Hawaiian tank-tops anymore?? You definitely can't blame global warming for this one. If things don't turn around fast, Pacsun will join the surfshop graveyard along with Quicksilver, Aeropostale and even American Apparel. RIP.
Scamming has been around for quite some time. But gone are the good old days of Nigerian Princes and long lost friends needing money transfers in Europe. Now, scammers can steal your information in one email without so much as a back story. And who's falling for all this duping? Millennials, apparently. A new study has shown that despite being raised among technology, millennials are the most susceptible to online scams. To be exact, 17% of women and a whopping 38% of men have been successfully duped by online and phone scams. Perhaps millennials are just disoriented by their cellphones actually ringing instead of just being a caveat for texting? I on the other hand am proud to be one of the millions of Americans who receive 16 spam calls per month on average.
If you're significant other is on Ashley Madison, you probably know it by now. But what about Tinder and other online dating sites? You may have met your match on Tinder, but did they delete their profile or are they still perusing for someone better to come along? Now, you can find out thanks to a new service called Swipebuster. All you do is visit the website, put in your partner's personal information and where they last used the service. Then just give them five dollars of your hard earned money and they will start a thorough investigation and let you know if your partner is swiping behind your back.
Warning: Don't leave your houses on Friday. Obama is coming to town. He sees you when you're commuting, he knows when you have a lunch date. And he wants to screw that all up with his giant motorcade. Last time he was here was in February, and how he's back for more. More good weather and more fundraising events. He gets in on Friday, no official time yet, and he will attend the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee events Friday evening and will stay the night in San Francisco. How do we find out what hotel he's staying at?? I want a drink with him in the hotel lobby bar.

Deepest feeling
Working in the environments where the clients influence your communications skills, appraisal and even worst, your life, is the main factor why some people think that this field is full of madness. But on the other hand, you will appreciate what you have.
One of my clients passed away last month but yet the assessment still has to be done. Having a responsibility to file his tax return is far more difficult than facing a stack of claimable receipts since I have put my emotional feeling into it. FYI when you are doing someone tax return you will get to understand the personal details of your client and more or less you will attach to it.
Tomorrow I will call his wife to inform her that her late husband refund cheque has been received by our office recently. Honestly to call a client that their refund cheque is ready to be couriered is the best task that I love to do but not this time around.
I never had a chance to talk to this client since I have just taken over the portfolio from my colleague. But from what I have heard, he is a nice guy and two weeks before "dijemput Allah", he called my senior to ask for his tax matters and told my senior he was not feeling well and will undergo an operation. We can only plan isn't it?
Anyway, will call arwah's wife tomorrow.

As soon as the children could switch the TV on by themselves, my bargaining power was gone. For the years between two and eight I could no longer threaten to whip the plug out of the wall if they didn't get dressed or eat tea or stop whining.
After that they started wanting things that cost money, and all my bargaining power returned: off went the TV if they wanted new clothes or toys.
Of course, they had a dreadful example in their father. He belongs to a profession the members of which pride themselves on never getting home in time for EastEnders, but who nevertheless fill the minutes between coming in from work and going to bed with dedicated channel hopping, while munching on the dried-up dinner that has been sitting in the oven for two hours.
"But telly's the ideal hobby for lawyers," he once said when I challenged him about the long hours culture and his lack of outside interests. "It's quick, it's cheap, you don't have to talk to anyone, there's no reading, it's all in colour, you don't have to wear a suit and you can even lie down and do it. It's the opposite of law, really."
Actually, I'm all for anything that subverts the legal profession. Often there are times when only TV will do: if the children are punching each other at teatime, say, then the solution is to stick in a video of The Magic Garden, pour yourself a vast Martini, and you'll all feel heaps better. Of course, the only reason we have Martini in the house is because Deminimus wanted to know what James Bond drinks – TV again. But in an educational sense.
Anyway, despite my inbuilt guilt at the children's TV watching, I actually broke plates the other day after reading one of those snotty broadsheet columns penned by women with heavy fringes, telling me what a feckless mother I was for letting them watch TV in the first place; how children's brains are precious and need stimulating every minute of the day. Smash! went the first plate. How children who are left watching TV alone grow up to be hopeless underachievers with no resources who will probably smoke or take drugs, or worse, not get decent jobs as lawyers. Crack! went that horrible china bowl the Lawyer's auntie gave us. How mothers should put off all those piddling little jobs like cleaning the house or cooking or even working to earn money so they can spend every minute stimulating those tender little brains. Crash! went the teapot.
The Lawyer, of course, wasn't home to witness the carnage because he was working, which is a respectable way of spending your time. I notice there's no one criticising him for failing to make those little kiddie synapses connect; there's no one demonising his absurd, bum-stuck-to-the-seat profession for allowing the TV to babysit the children.
Mind you, the floor show in the kitchen was so fascinating that the kids all came in to watch Mum lose her rag, and the TV played on to an empty sitting room while they whooped and cheered me on. By the time the Lawyer actually made it home I'd managed to get rid of all the revolting, chipped and ugly crockery we've built up over the years, and I felt terrific.
The kids, of course, were hyper. "Don't ask," I said, as he surveyed the china earthquake. "Just console yourself that the last few hours have been spent earning us a lovely new set of crockery. And it's been very stimulating for the children."

Opel/Vauxhall CEO Nick Reilly and labor leader Klaus Franz reached a European-wide tentative agreement in support of the company's Plan for the Future.
Negotiations have been participated in by the two parties over management's demand for 265 million euros ($329 million) in annual wage concessions. This was considered as the key hurdle for parent General Motors Co. to get loan guarantees from Germany worth over 1 billion euros.
Before Tuesday, a presentation is expected to be delivered by labor and management on their agreement. This Tuesday would be when the steering committee of the German state rescue fund will be discussing Opel's request for aid.
The European workforce, which is composed of 50,000 people, asks that GM deliver on their promise to invest in the manufacturing sites to avoid additional production shifts to Korea. In return, the workforce has agreed to certain measures, including a wage freeze until 2014.
According to labor representatives, GM didn't fulfill its promise in January to continue Opel production in Antwerp. This prompted labor to demand collateral in the form of 10% of the shares in the company.
GM is challenging the terms, compelling Franz to propose that the 10% would have to be held by a trustee who would steadily return the shares to GM as long as investment milestones are met throughout the five-year business plan.
For instance, investments for the Bochum plant would raise its chances of making a second model next to the Opel Zafira minivan based on the same global Delta compact platform used for the Astra.

Court rules prisoners with history of going on run CAN'T be banned from open jails
DANGEROUS prisoners with a history of absconding CAN'T be banned from moving to 'holiday camp' open jails, following a High Court ruling today.
Escaped and captured prisoner Micheal Wheatley arriving at East Surrey magistrates court
Tory Justice Secretary Chris Grayling introduced measures last year aimed at excluding inmates who had a history of disappearing while on day release from being transferred to so-called open prisons.
The move was triggered by the case of violent criminal Michael Wheatley, who has been branded the 'Skull Cracker' for pistol-whipping his victims.
The 55-year-old was serving 13 life sentences for a string of raids on banks and building societies when he failed to return to Stanford Hill prison on the Isle of Sheppey last year.
He had been granted day release from the jail despite 23 previous convictions for robbery, two for attempted robbery and 18 for related firearms offences.
He was caught weeks later and handed a new life sentence for a string of offences committed while on the run.
The case prompted Mr Grayling to declare last May that he was "tearing up the system as it exists at the moment", as he introduced new absconder guidelines.
However judges today ruled that the policy was unlawful, in a case that could see some of the country's most notorious absconders given the chance to disappear at will.
The two-judge panel found that "a phased release" from closed to open prison is necessary for most inmates serving indeterminate sentences "in order to test the prisoner's readiness for release into the community".
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling introduced tough measures in the wake of the Michael Wheatley case
Prisoners are often moved to lower-category jails as they near the end of their sentence, but many are handed a release on temporary licence, meaning they can leave the prison for a few hours or overnight.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said it would appeal the decision, claiming the "fundamental principles of the policy are not unlawful".
"The court found there was inconsistency with the implementation. Our position remains that temporary release can be an important part of rehabilitating offenders but not at the cost of public protection," a spokesman added.
But the Prisoners' Advice Service welcomed today's ruling, describing the Government's policy as a "knee jerk reaction to negative press reports".
"The Secretary of State's contention that he is entitled to ignore and contradict his own policy guidance demonstrates either his ignorance or flagrant disregard for basic legal principles of consistency and transparency in public decision making," the group added.
Hundreds of prisoners abscond from open prisons every year, according to MoJ figures, with murderers and rapists are among those offered a day release from prisons as they come to the end of their jail terms.
In 2013, 225 prisoners went on the run.
High-profile absconders include Marcus Barney, 27, who had an extra four months added to his jail term for causing death by dangerous driving after disappearing from an open prison and fleeing to Australia in 2012.
