Since hearing "Sledgehammer" the first time, the Meghan Trainor-penned track has really grown on me. This could finally be that breakout hit the ladies of Fifth Harmony have been looking for. No excessive 'Michelle Obama' name drops to prevent radio from playing them. I can't get enough of that chorus. If this doesn't become a Top 20 hit, I fear Simon Cowell might give up on them.
Sometimes simple is the best way to go and that certainly applies in this case. 5H reunites with their "Bo$$" director, Fatima Robinson, for their latest clip. Dressed in ethereal white garbs and flowing colorful gowns, the X Factor alums channel their inner goddesses.
Both Camila and Normani do it extremely well. The former rocks her hair like a Clairol commercial in front of a giant white horse while the latter just slays it every time the camera focuses on her. Check out the stunning clip below from the true winners of X Factor Season 2. #tatestevenswhereareyou
Who's craving a little eye candy today? If you are, you definitely came to the right place. aussieBum recently unveiled a whackload of promo images for the upcoming year. As usual, they're hotter than hot.
The Australian brand sticks to its winning formula of snapping strapping buff men modeling their line in beautiful settings. Seriously, where do they find these men? They fill out their product in all the right places and then some. Check their 2015 promo pics below.
Clearly, GQ magazine wasn't a fan of U2′s new album, Songs of Innocence, which automatically downloaded into every iTunes user's library. The publication puts the Bono-fronted band on top of their annual "Least Influential List." Every year, the glossy puts those "who took up vast clouds of oxygen, gave us back nothing of use, and probably helped accelerate the death of our planet," on blast.
"The Tom Friedman of rock and the rest of his band collaborated with Apple to strong-arm their new album into your iTunes library without your consent. You couldn't even delete it! Apple had to send out specific instructions for how to wipe Songs of Innocence (God, that title) off your computer. The worst part was the way both Apple and U2 treated this, like it was some kind of noble gift to The People; in fact this was a $100 million marketing campaign. Yes, $100 million to turn U2′s socially conscious dad-rock into a piece of direct mail." – GQ
Do you agree that the Irish band belongs on top of their 2014 list? Others to earn a dishonorable mention from GQ include political mainstays President Obama and Sarah Palin, athletes and celebrities like Johnny Depp and Robin Thicke. The latter definitely earns his spot since his latest album sold an embarrassingly low amount in North America and around the world.
Not that I'm a huge Shia LaBeouf fan, but I wouldn't have included him on the list. Especially after seeing his extremely sexy spread in Interview magazine. Check out his blurb below, along with my other favorite write-ups from GQ's list.
Crisis averted!!! Rodney Jerkins recently shared his plans to remake his biggest produced tracks for his 20th anniversary next year. The 37-year-old is responsible for some of the biggest smashes in the past two decades. "Say My Name" (Destiny's Child), "It's Not Right, But It's Okay" (Whitney Houston), "If You Had My Love" (Jennifer Lopez), "Overprotected" (Britney Spears), "When I Grow Up" (Pussycat Dolls) are just a few.
When he revealed Ariana Grande and Jessie J were teaming up again to cover the smash "The Boy Is Mine" originally sung by Brandy and Monica, the Internet was instantly flooded with fans expressing their disapproval. I, for one, was also skeptical with Jessie and Ari taking on the task. Truthfully though, I think anyone chosen would've received the same wrath as the "Bang Bang" collaborators.
read what Jessie said about the Jerkins' statement after the jump
Unlike NBC's upcoming heavily-promoted Peter Pan Live! musical, this big budget feature film about the boy who never wanted to grow up looks like it's not going to be a hot mess. I love that NBC is making musicals into a holiday tradition, but I have a feeling their adaptation is going to crash and burn. The previews haven't been encouraging at all, IMHO.
Thankfully, Warner's Bros upcoming adaption of the J.M. Barrie's classic tale is here to save the day. Director Joe Wright promises, "This isn't exactly the Neverland story you know."
The studio just released the first four of what will undoubtedly be plenty more character posters to follow. We get our first look at Hugh Jackman as the villainous Blackbeard. The Wolverine actor is definitely serving sinister realness. Others getting their own artwork are Garrett Hedlund as Captain Hook, Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily and Levi Miller as the titular character. Check them out below.
UPDATE: The first full length trailer just dropped and it looks pretty wicked. Watch Jackman channel his inner Johnny Depp circa Pirates of the Caribbean below.

Ella Henderson lost the Series 9 crown of The X Factor UK to eventual winner James Arthur. But like many also-rans, she's having the last laugh. The 18-year-old songbird has already scored two Top 10 UK hits off her debut album including the chart-topper "Ghost." The infectious track won me over the second I heard it.
Like One Direction, Olly Murs and Cher Lloyd, she's making inroads in North America thanks to some well-received live performances on the talk show circuit. "Ghost" which was penned by Ryan Tedder is climbing the Billboard Hot 100 and is about to invade the clubs thanks to a killer dance remix by Dave Aude.
The prolific DJ transforms the powerful track into a club-ready offering which will no doubt become a gay dance anthem. Give it a listen below.
Even though Warner Bros. considered male directors, the studio hoped to find a lady to helm Wonder Woman. Given that the DC superhero is all about female empowerment, I'm sure the studio felt pressure to go this route. Honestly, it only makes sense in my opinion.
After an exhaustive search, their quest is over. Among the frontrunners circling the project for months were successful film directors Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Mimi Leder (Deep Impact), Julie Taymor (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body) and two from the world of television- Michelle MacLaren (Game of Thrones) and Tricia Brock (The Walking Dead). Find out below who Warner Bros. lassoed for the highly-anticipated film.
Just when I thought I couldn't love Jennifer Lawrence any more, she does something to hook me even deeper. The 24-year-old recently revealed her love for reality television with Bravo's Real Housewives franchise as her biggest guilty pleasure. She's a woman after my own heart.
"I do love my Real Housewives," she shared with Vanity Fair when revealing her favorite reality shows. "I love Intervention, New York Housewives—and Beverly Hills, New Jersey, and Atlanta Housewives. I mean, I love them all, but Miami—oh, my God! Miami is really special."
Over the weekend, J-Law headed out for a girls night at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant SUR located in West Hollywood. Clearly, she's Team Lisa. Watch out Brandi Glanville.
While there, they sipped on martinis, met the Vanderpumps and their lovable pup Giggy and spoofed the intro for Bravo's Hills-like series, Vanderpump Rules, by filming their own version. Watch Jennifer run a fork through her hair in their version. God, I adore this woman.

Posted January 01, 2013 on AP on Fox
Seems like every half-century, a quarterback from Northern Illinois does something never seen previously in college football. In 1963, the buzz hovered around George Bork's passing. This season, the acclaim was over Jordan Lynch's running. It's not a stretch to say that without Lynch's footwork, Northern Illinois wouldn't have busted into the Bowl Championship Series and gotten a spot in the Orange Bowl against Florida State. Lynch can throw the ball - 24 touchdowns against only five interceptions this season - but he seems better when he takes off running. The native of Chicago's south side entered the Orange Bowl with 1,771 yards rushing, the most by any quarterback in any college season. He also carried a streak of 11 straight 100-yard rushing games into the matchup with the Seminoles, another NCAA record for quarterbacks. ''Probably the toughest player I've ever seen,'' Northern Illinois quarterbacks coach Bob Cole said. Ask Lyn...

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

location very good Eating and shopping locally
No curtains so could see into other apartments and vice versa View of ugly lift well from bedroom. 24hr service never answered Staff were not overly helpful The apartment had no soul, decor bland.I dont usually care but for the money paid I'd prefer something more Spanish. The shower door is incorrectly fitted so you have to squeeze into the corner to get out, not good for people over size 12. You also have to be very tall to reach the tap in the basin. Be aware that the front door lock is tricky and sometimes gets stuck so dont be in a hurry to get inside. Overall a badly built and designed apartment,run by a large corporation. For the same money go elsewhere in a similar location.
Very equipped apartment. Wi-fi condition very good.
No vitual counter so when we check in we have to wait the staff come. Find a cockroach in the toillet.
Near Metro, Clean and airy apartment. Excellent quality of sleep. Adequately equipped kitchen.
There was a blanket short, that was supplied after asking the next day.
the apartment looks exactly like in the photos, looks very good, clean, and it is well equipped
the street is very noisy
The apartment was spatious, well equipped.
When we arrived at 10 pm, the employee from the agency asked for deposit in amount almost as the fee we paid. Although they sent us an e-mail after the booking, they never mentioned such as condition, and the question was take it or pay and leave it. Also he gave us a contract to sign and the contract was written in spanish although we don't speak spanish at all. As he explained that's in purpose to protect themselves from damage. But as always when you sing a contract there is a procedure to wright down all the equipment, check out its function etc. And everything would be just ok, if they tell you that in advance and upon arrival of whole family with luggage. That annoying situation, just put in shade that the apartment was fair good, well equiped and only negative side of our stay there were noisy nights from the street
The apartment was wonderful beyond belief. The location was alright, a little distant from downtown, though.
The staff is ok, but they have no flexibility regardin schedule. Punctual for check-in and more than one hour late for check-out.
- apartments are very nice and comfortable - wifi and air conditioner works perfectly - deposit is high, but there is no problem with return
-Staff member was late - localisation: near a metro station but far away from a beach and the city center (old town)
Friendly staff, clean and very comfortable flat, very well located.
Some technical problems with the second shower.
Very clean. Good location in the city, close to subway. All stores You need in a short walk distance. AirCondition was efficient. Kitchen was very good equipped.
On the departure day the person from Alcam Encantes was late nearly 30 minutes! It stressed us very much due to our plane departure schedulle. He came without our 300€ deposit! It was transferred on our bank account 8 days later. What if we need these money to buy i.e. train tickets? Very uncomfortable sofa bed in the living room. There was no chance to sleep on it. We were forced to lay mattress directly on the floor. That apartment is OK for 2 persons - not for 4. Unstable internet connection.
It was clean in very good location
Contract brought to sign was only in Spanish.
Most of the staff were very friendly and they gave us a 10% discount and a bottle of fizzy wine as a result of our difficulties. The air-conditioning worked very well as did the wifi. The flat was spacious, in a reasonable location close to a supermarket and two different metro lines.
The key problem was that we couldn't get into the apartment when we arrived (which was in the evening). Aside from waiting 20 mins at the apartment for the staff to arrive it turned out that they couldn't get in (there were various explanations offered as to why). We then had to wait about an hour for a locksmith to turn up and he couldn't get in to the apartment. The staff arranged another (nice)apartment for that night but one not big enough for all of our party (some of whom were arriving the next day) so we had to move to the original apartment the next day. They paid for the taxi to do this. Despite these staff members being very nice, this was all disruptive of our holiday. Frustratingly, at the end of our holiday a rather less polite staff member turned up an hour earlier than the agreed check-out time when we were still packing up. She was very insistent that we had 'opted for' an earlier check-out until we showed her the piece of paper which stated our agreed checkout time.
1.good location close to metro and sagrada familia 2. spacious and clean 3. well equipped
I am not satisfied with some staff who do not return our deposit on time and book taxis for us as promised. we almost miss our flight. we understand that there is taxis strike on that day, but at least they should tell us the news the day before. In the end, they manage to arrange a car for us and pay the fees. We do not miss the flight
Very modern flat + kitchen and convenient bathroom
Early morning traffic
- great location (bakery around the corner, super market at 20m, metro station 3 blocks and sagrada familia in walking distance (6 blocks) - very well equipped apartment - friendly staff - very good customer service by phone (24/24)
- on arrival, you have to call and it can take a bit longer if they have other clients at the same time (probably not perfect when on business travel, but otherwise ok). - You have to define an hour for the check-out. Don't calculate too sharp, because on busy days they have to do a lot of check-outs (they have 120 apartments all over the city). [This is actually more a suggestion than a negative point]
Good Location, Good service, Nice Staff
Too much for deposit amount(300 euro).
Horrible residence parking, difficult to access, narrow. Poor light in the bathroom. 300 EUR deposit.
Location and good facility
registration process too long
great location, well equiped kitchen and spacey apartment, walk in gardrobe was a nice idea
sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable, one night the WiFi had a blackout, bathroom could need more light
The apartments are in an excellent location. There is a grocery store 3 doors down and a pastry store around the corner. The grocery store has excellent prices for anything extra that you need. The metro stop, Encants, was a 5-min walk. For families, the hospital was about 5-6 blocks away. The kitchen was the best, equipped with kitchenware. We had an 11-month old baby so it was great to have the kitchen. We got a 2-bedroom, one with a queen bed and the other with 2 twin beds. The mattresses were very comfortable. The bathrooms nice as well. The whole apartment appeared as it was advertised. We were able to control the temperature of the apartment as well, whether we wanted heat or a/c.
For American travelers, we're used to wash clothes for the bathrooms and comforters on the bed. Some places in Europe don't provide wash clothes, just a hand towel and bath towel, so plan accordingly. Bring wash clothes. The 2-bedroom we got only had sheets on the bed so even though the mattresses were comfortable, we weren't able to cuddle up in comforters as we would in a hotel. Didn't know we had to pay a deposit of 300 euro so try to use cash instead of card, makes it easier when you check out. The apartment owners want to ensure there's no damage left to the apartments. You get your deposit back upon check out. Use the special request box to tell the apartment owners what time your flight arrives so that they can meet you at the building. There's no reception area and the main door is locked so you have to wait for the owners to let you in. We had to get the cab driver to call the owners and we ended up waiting an hour to be let in.
The apartment was really good with all the amenities to spend a good one week in Barcelona. Is very near to the Metro and walking distance to the major attraction in Barcelona.
Although we had advised that we would be reaching at 3:00 PM, we had to wait for more than 30 minutes for someone to attend us and had to wait on the main street.
The attitude of the staff greeting and escorting us out was very friendly and precise.
Nice appartment All what family need.. Facilities are well

Engine cowling is under way and will be installed in a couple of days, but we like this spoiled down basic version as well ;-)

Big push into gaming brings out Amazon's gentler side
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), a company known for its ruthless drive, is courting the free-wheeling coders and dreamers of the gaming industry with a lighter touch as it seeks to break into an arena now dominated by Apple (AAPL.O) and Google (GOOG.O).
The online retailer, infamous for undercutting rivals and pressuring suppliers, hopes that making nice with game developers will help it build a vibrant app platform on its new Fire TV and gain ground in an area where it severely lags the competition.
For example, Amazon last year contacted London-based developer Ashraf Hegab out of the blue. In contrast to the sink-or-swim style of Apple's and Google's app stores, Amazon promised to promote his game actively if he brought it to its platform, he said.
"With Amazon, it feels a lot more intimate and personal," said the founder of eight-month startup Playir. "With Apple, you get feedback, but it's a more formal Q&A. You feel like you're being judged."
Gaming is the top revenue generator and one of the top five activities on smartphones and tablets, and to catch up, Amazon must compete with rivals Apple and Google for users and developer time.
Last week, Amazon doubled down on its gaming strategy with Fire TV, a palm-sized $99 streaming device that also allows users to play games on their televisions and, executives hope, will help displace some of the millions of costlier Microsoft Xboxes, Sony Playstations and Nintendo Wiis in households.
For nearly 20 years, Amazon - a company that Chief Executive Jeff Bezos nearly named Relentless.com - has been anything but friendly in its drive to offer customers the lowest possible prices on everything from kitchen knives to diapers.
But game developers say Amazon has forged a bond with developers over the last two years by offering marketing support, feedback and other perks. It is building credibility by hiring respected veterans for its in-house gaming studio.
It has offered discounts on Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing service used by a majority of startups. And in some cases, it is even giving them money to test its ad services.
"We obsess about making that easier and easier - the tools that we provide, the support we give through our business development teams," Mike Frazzini, vice president of Amazon Games, told Reuters in an interview.
Some remain skeptical of the Fire TV's ability to go head-to-head with Apple TV, or edge out the top-selling PlayStation4.
Developers expect Apple to bring gaming to its streaming box. Its iOS platform already commands a large contingent of mobile app developers, a handful of whom have built billion-dollar companies.
There has yet to be a breakout game title or company from the Amazon platform like Finland's Supercell, whose two main titles - Clash of Clans and Hay Day - made $2.4 million a day in revenue last year. The Internet giant hopes to change that.
Amazon "has pissed off a lot of book publishers and others in e-commerce, but not developers as much," said Zaw Thet, a partner at Signia Ventures, which backs a number of game startups. "I don't think Amazon really cares about making money through game revenue. They care about capturing your attention and up-selling you all of the products that have to do with that."
The iPhone's arrival in 2007 created a population of gamers addicted to affordable or free games played in bite-sized chunks of several minutes. Amazon thinks there's a market for the same sort of more casual game on the living-room TV, away from time-intensive "hard-core" console titles like "Call of Duty."
But it's unclear how strong demand will be. Ouya began selling its $99 Android game console last year but has had disappointing sales.
The startup is now working on taking its Ouya software as an app to set-top boxes and TVs, Chief Executive Officer Julie Uhrman told Reuters last week.
"The big question is where is the consumer demand for that because it's so easy to access those games in so many different ways," said David Cole, an analyst at DFC Intelligence.
Others warned not to dismiss the company that in two years has captured a significant share of the tablet market. Amazon has data on consumers' buying habits and their credit cards on file, making it easy to make in-app purchases, executives said.
"They understand customer relationships and one-click shopping and if you put in the technology section, there are lots of interesting capabilities to disrupt the space," said Kent Wakeford, chief operating officer of social and mobile game developer Kabam.
Developers designing games for Fire TV or considering it hope their apps will catch on with Amazon's estimated 240 million users. More than 800 million Android devices were sold in 2013 and because Amazon's platform is based on Google's software, it does not take much effort to adapt games to Amazon's app store.
Amazon has successfully jumped into new sectors before with the Kindle e-reader in 2007. By then, it had earned a reputation among book sellers for its ruthlessness.
Game developers say Amazon has so far demonstrated nothing but a willingness to collaborate and promote their games in ways Apple and Google do not.
Amazon recently gave some developers $500 to test its ad campaign tool, said VNL Entertainment founder Lucius Yu. They also gave him free Amazon coins for users to spend on purchases made within its "School of Chaos."
Amazon seems "more personable at the moment," said Tony Pereira of Flashman Studios, which helps developers market their business.

|Our Art Director Shane during question time with the students from GCIT
Quadrant Creative has always valued our relationships with various education facilities and thoroughly enjoy assisting students looking to enter the industry in any way we can. We have recently had the pleasure of working with some interns from Bond University and University of the Sunshine Coast, as well as some visits from different design colleges.
Our interns had varying skill sets that they could utilise and build on in their time here under the guidance of our Art Director and Creative Director. A mixture of briefs involving copy, layout and design aspects were undertaken and impressive final portfolios were completed for their studies.
We have also recently enjoyed visits from the design students at GCIT Coomera and Designworks Burleigh. GCIT Coomera bring their students here annually to take a tour of the building and better understand the workings of an advertising agency on a daily basis. Our production manager is quite the storyteller and does a great job of informing the students of what goes on behind-the-scenes.

Score from 230 reviews Very good
Whilst the room looked modern, the actual quality of the installations was second rate. The bathroom tiling looked like it had been done by Stevie Wonder and odd things needed attending to. We were amazed in this day and age that no fresh bread or rolls were available on the Sunday morning breakast. Part bake rolls have been available for years now.
Location, and some furnishings ,and coziness of Lounge area.
The bathroom was not very clean (Toilet),only 2 wash clothes.very poor lighting in room. WiFi did not work, no in room coffee pot. Very poor restaurant.. The waitress let us order our meal, and then tells us there is no bread, we ask for crackers... Out!!! Promised the Chef was preparing breakfast in morning. We had a pastry.. No breakfast. Customers left, and went down the Street to eat. Our expense to stay here was not reflected in our overall experience. Will not return, but will visit Stowe again.
Mouse in the room
Beautiful location and main building. Manager greeting was appreciated.
Carriage house room, though very large, was in need of remodeling/updating..missing bathroom floor tile, mildewed grout in shower, for example. With three different paint colors in the main room, this was probably going on. Although the continental breakfast was appreciated, the location/set up was awkward, done hurriedly, and without nearby seating.
Location, free continental breakfast, the restaurant loking at the river. walking distance to all restaurant and other conveniences.
Location. Building is good, rooms reasonable size.
Management is USELESS. No food on breakfast table, they had to go out and buy more bread and juice. No real apology, just excuses. Restaurant and bar closed throughout stay. Coach outside room with engine running at 6:00. DO NOT STAY HERE.
awful breakfast.
Room was not ready at 5pm. No tea or coffee in room or lobby (had to buy at bar). Tiny, old, TV. No fridge. Loud aircon. Nowhere to hang clothes in bathroom. No extractor. Poor parking. Poor soundproofing. Cheap detergent used for sheets caused severe skin rash. Old, tired. Need I go on?
Need to spend some money in bedroom new pillow , covered duvet , bed valence etc
Big rooms!!
Ordered a pasta dish and added chicken. Never got the chicken. The waiter tried to say it was the chefs fumble, but I think otherwise.
I liked the location.
The room wasn't all that clean. Breakfast was not very organized. There was nothing but cereal out when we first got there.
Front desk guy Charming inn Walk to town
Maid service was dismal. Barely straightened bed...did not empty waste baskets. No coffee/ tea apparatus in room. Hotel needs refurbishing (paint) and bathroom re-dos
Location and appearance as a Bee Dngland building. Smooth check in
Poor quality of furnishings- expected higher level given room rate. Poor lighting. Old bath
Friendly staff, nicely furnished room, great view from the breakfast area, beautiful old building, well furnished.
Parking lot unpaved
Very dark in the room.
Location, staff, and tavern were awesome
Location was great.
We stayed during a very busy fall weekend and although we expected to pay a premium price, we were definitely overcharged for the quality of the room we received. Our accommodations were in a building behind the main inn and the room was extremely outdated and run down.
Closeness to town and dining Close to Stowe Mountain
Location was great; exterior attractive.
Badly stained bath towel, holes in other towels. This stay definitely not worth the $194. Breakfast was minimal, but I was pleased to find hard-boiled eggs. But when I cracked the shells they were raw. Disgusting that someone forgot to cook them. Nothing offered in its place. Would not stay here again, or recommend.
Very helpful staff.
Restaurant service slow and inattentive and food was expensive and not very good, especially the minimal continental breakfast (no other option was available).
Good location.
We were allotted a different room to that booked. We changed rooms to suit our requirements, but to an inferior room to that booked, but did not receive a discount. In-room facilities were limited and information non-existent. Food and bar were poorly organised, both a.m. and p.m. Somebody needs to 'grasp the nettle' and make this Inn the place it should be!!
This is centrally located, clean, friendly staff, lovely spacious room. We really enjoyed our stay here.
Good location. Nice ambience with lounge and sitting rooms.
Poor breakfast.

All Will Be Well
"All is well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." This phrase has been reassuring for me in times of stress and anxiety for years. The fifteen months between May of 2012 and August of 2013 were months that challenged Julian of Norwich's words as I lost both parents and my husband. I felt I could barely come up for air from one death, one crisis, until another hit. My friends were concerned for me; I have health problems including multiple sclerosis, and stress can exacerbate the disease.

Tigers in the Preschool Classroom
Affect dysregulation in young children is a significant problem in preschool classrooms, often leading to preschool expulsion and teacher burnout.
To address this issue, I and the Outreach Counselors at Kamehameha Schools Community Based Early Childhood Education Program — a Hawaiian-based statewide preschool system — developed a training that focuses on helping teachers learn how to self regulate. Learning and practicing "soft belly" helps teachers stay calm while allowing children to "co-regulate" their fragile nervous systems (young children "lean on" the nervous systems of their caregivers).

Break and Shake
It was day two, 3:00 in the afternoon, and time for a break. Dr. Gordon instructed us to stand up; he was going to play some music. We closed our eyes and were told to shake our bodies. We started from the ground up, gently bouncing, moving our ankles, knees, and then hips. Continuing up the body, we moved our torsos, shoulders, arms, and head. We shook like this for six minutes to music that had an almost hypnotic beat. Dr. Gordon counted the minutes and encouraged us to keep shaking, keep moving! Even though the last minute felt like eternity, my eyes were closed, my body was shaking, and for a moment I felt as if I were alone in the room (I should mention that I was actually one of 400).
The music stopped; we opened our eyes and took a few slow, deep breaths. Ready for part two, I was hopeful that it would not involve more shaking; I was worn out! Dr. Gordon instructed us to close our eyes and move our bodies in whatever way would feel good. The music started; I started to move my body and then I started to cry. The song was Three Little Birds, by Bob Marley. Even though I've heard this song a million times, this time was different; I drank in every word as if it were brand new. As Bob Marley sang to me, "Don't worry, 'bout a thing, because every little thing is gonna be alright." a huge weight was lifted off of me; I felt lighter, I could breathe! At the time, I was a medical mess, lots of tests, waiting for results, and fretting about the future. Obviously, I was letting my personal situation weigh on me more than I realized. I wasn't fully present and I needed to let the worry go.
The importance of being free and in the moment cannot be over stated; I realized that I was not a participant in my own life; my body was in the room but my mind was elsewhere. Now I know that I need to welcome myself and allow myself to be present. Hello self, I'm so glad you're here!

Mind-body skills groups for medical students: reducing stress, enhancing commitment, and promoting patient-centered care
When I started The Center for Mind-Body Medicine in 1991, one of my missions was to bring our vision of self-care and group support to medical students. I am happy to report that I've just published a paper that describes how our Mind-Body Skills Group (MBSG) model is currently being used in 15 medical schools. The article, "Mind-body skills groups for medical students: reducing stress, enhancing commitment, and promoting patient-centered care" is in BioMed Central Medical Education (James S. Gordon, 22 September 2014), one of the leading peer-reviewed journals of medical education.

Koru: A Program to Help Students with Stress at Duke University
"I don't think I would have made it through grad school without this class."
This is a quotation from a Duke student who participated in Koru, a course to help students with stress that has its inspiration in mindfulness meditation and The Center for Mind-Body Medicine's mind-body skills group model.
Koru, which is a Maori symbol for growth around a stable center, began at Duke University in 2007 and has since then transformed the lives of hundreds of Duke students.

Recently, my husband and I were on an 800 mile cross country drive returning our oldest son to college. The Sunday before the drive I had slipped and fallen, resulting in an injury to my rotator cuff; I also had cystitis (an annoying and uncomfortable irritation of the bladder); and my husband was having an arthritic flare, his right wrist throbbing. A few days prior to that our home was flooded accidentally when a bathroom faucet overflowed; shorting out our electrical system and collapsing the kitchen ceiling. I also had a recent job promotion with enormous responsibilities. We actually left home 4 hours later than planned because I had to go to work to complete some important tasks.

A Powerful Healing Map
I am no stranger to intense cancer experiences. I have been following my own healing path since a brain tumor diagnosis in 1998, a journey that has included three awake brain surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy plus hundreds of integrative cancer therapies. Along the way, I have discovered my lifetime purpose is to help others affected by cancer. Attendance at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine's training events with James Gordon, MD specifically emphasized the importance of self-care strategies and supplied valuable tools that have enabled me to assist others with their quest for healing.
Shaking & Dancing Challenge
Shaking & Dancing Meditation has been my favorite exercise since I learned it in the Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program. To me, it's a dynamic and effective method that immediately changes one's state of mind.
In the groups that I have led, I have noticed that it's one of the exercises that the participants enjoy and do the most in their daily lives. The group members who have practiced it say they feel more energized and happier, at least during the day they do it. It is easily practiced and duration can depend on the time and availability of each person.
