I volunteered on and off for The Awareness Center for the last several years. I wanted to get involved because I am a Jewish Survivor and wanted to help others to heal. The organization has helped survivors on an international basis on so many different levels, from helping a survivor find a therapist, connecting them with appropriate legal professionals, medical professionals who are experienced working with survivors -- to helping survivors connect with others. It's amazing how much work this organization has done with little to no money. I can only think of what they could do if everyone would donate funds.

It would have more staff than Vicki and a stable funding base.
I have referred clients to The Awareness Centre and have spent time with the executive director, Vicki Polin. This organization is an invaluable resource not just for Jewish people who have been victimized but for anyone whose victimization has an element of any religious institutions involvement.
For those who have been abused by a religious leader or where religion plays a part in the violation, this organization's expertise is essential. So many therapists and advocates miss the importance of the role of religion and the client's spiritual belief system.
The Awareness Center also acts as a clearing house for education as well as information for those who work with vulnerable people. The Center provides educational training for survivors groups, community organizations, rabbis, teachers and parents with the lofty goal of ending sexual violence.

Up for sale is a complete, hard to find, reproduction French Bru. The beautiful Lady Grace is a Victorian life sized porcelain/bisque doll mannequin. She stands about 5 feet tall. Her adult sized swivel head, shoulders, bust, hands and arms up to elbow, are made of porcelain/bisque. The rest of her is stuffed cloth fabric. Her hair is long dark blonde curly human hair attached to her head. Her bust is about 30 inches, with a waist of 24 inches. Grace fits the usually small vintage clothing well. It is hard to find a mannequin that fits the really tiny Victorian dresses bigger/taller mannequins cannot wear. She has almond-shaped blue glass inset eyes. She is made to either sit or stand. Someone has made a stand for her at one time. It is a very heavy piece of crude wood with a rod that goes into her butt. The stand is too heavy to ship, so I am not including it in this sale. I will, however, give it to the new owner, if they are able to pick Grace up. Anyone can easily make her a stand, with readily available parts from any Lowe's or Home Depot. The antique yellow Victorian dress is INCLUDED in the sale, nothing else. The doll/mannequin is in excellent shape, no observed chips, cracks, or breaks. She was originally made by Leon Casimir Bru, circa 1870's. The model was created for a couturier or milliner in a Parisian boutique for presentation of the latest fashions of the day. She will be packed very well, and will require insurance. Please allow a few days for shipping info to be posted to this page, as I am custom cutting a box, just for her. Will post dimensions and weight. Also, to keep the page load time down, I am listing several photos as links...please view them for your satisfaction.
Shipping update: Thanks to all for your patience. Item is securely packaged. Cannot update the sale shipping calculator in the ad. Please note; we will be shipping UPS ground, as it is 15 to 20 dollars cheaper than the USPS. The package dimensions are 32.5 x 23 x 19 and weighs 31 pounds, shipping from zip code 48111. (www.ups.com) As we don't know how far it is going, or what the final price will be (i.e. insurance, etc.), ESTIMATES ranged from 70 to 100 dollars. At the close of the sale, give us your zip code, and we will supply actual shipping costs. In the meantime, you may wish to go to ups.com and get an idea for yourself...(or email us and we'll do it). We will be adding $4.30 for signature confirmation.

Join Justin Seeley as he reveals how designers can create vibrant web graphics, wireframes, and complete web site mockups in Adobe Photoshop. The course covers creating a custom web workspace for maximum efficiency; drawing, coloring, and optimizing web graphics; creating vector shapes and text that scale seamlessly; mastering transparency; building navigation bars and buttons; and speeding up these tasks with the Photoshop automation tools.
When people ask me what my favorite feature of Photoshop is, I always have two answers, the first of which is layers, because layers are the most useful thing that's ever been added to Photoshop, and the second one is always Smart Objects. Smart Objects are a way of encapsulating the photo or object that you're working on inside of a protective shell so that you can then work on them in a nondestructive way. Running filters, manipulating, scaling, whatever you want to do to it, you can pretty much do by utilizing Smart Objects.
In this movie, I am going to be exploring how to utilize Smart Objects inside of Photoshop to create more flexible graphics and work nondestructively at all times. So I am working on a file here that's kind of a mockup for an application splash screen. And so I am going to be utilizing the background elements that I have here, as well as this text at the bottom, and I am also going to be incorporating some artwork that I created inside of Adobe Illustrator. And so, right here on the background, the first thing I want to do is I want to add a little bit of texture to the background, but I don't necessarily want this to be a destructive change.
I want to be able to turn it on and off if I send it to the client and they don't like it. So, what I am going to do is first unlock the Background layer by double-clicking out to the right-hand side of it. That's going to unlock it. And I am just going to call this Sky, and I will hit OK. Now, once I've done that, I need to convert this into a Smart Object. There are a couple of ways that you can do that. You can right-click the layer and you can choose Convert to Smart Object or you can go to Filter and choose Convert for Smart Filters. Either way, you're creating a Smart Object inside of Photoshop.
Let's go ahead and take a look at what I mean. I will right-click the layer and choose Convert to Smart Object. When I do that, you're going to notice that this little icon appears on top of the layer thumbnail, indicating that it is now a Smart Object. Basically, I have a protective coating around this background layer that enables me to do things to it without actually affecting the pixel values underneath. Whereas before, if I had added texture or grain or whatever it is that I am going to run in the Filters menu through this object before, it would have really altered the pixel value and made it impossible for me to get back to the normal state later on.
So let's go ahead and run a filter on this Background layer. I will go to Filter and I am going to go down and choose a new filter called Oil Paint inside of Photoshop. I'm just going to give it a little bit of texture. And so now I am going to come in and just kind of manipulate these settings. It really doesn't matter which ones you choose, as long as you give it a little bit of texture in the background. I will kind of dial this down a little bit, something kind of like that.
So right now my Stylization is at 1.98, my Cleanliness 4.9, Scale is at 0.35, Bristle Detail at 1.95, Angular Direction is 104.4, and my Shine is down to 0.85. Again, totally up to you, but this just gives me a subtle change in texture in the background, so I'll hit OK. Once I do that, you'll see the texture has been applied to that layer, and I also see over here on the right-hand side that I have a new Smart Filter applied to this. I can mask out the Smart Filter utilizing this built-in mask.
I can also at any time I want come in and adjust the Oil Paint settings by finding the word Oil Paint and double-clicking. That takes me back into the filter. So if I wanted to change the Angular Direction of this again, something like that, and maybe bump up the Shine a little bit, hit OK, it automatically updates for me when that comes back out. Now, if I don't think that I like this, that's okay. I can simply remove the Smart Filter by finding it, clicking on it, and dragging it to the trashcan, and it's automatically removed.
Let's say, though, I want to undo this, Command+Z or Ctrl+Z. Let's say I want to make a change to the Background layer itself, the actual blue background. How do I make a change to that? I'll come over here and I'll double- click on the icon, and it opens it up. I will hit Don't show again because basically all this is doing is telling me I am about to open a Smart Object. When you're finished, you need to save it in order to commit to the change. So you just hit OK and it takes you here. Let's say, for instance, that I wanted to add a gradient to the background. No problem. I'll just double-click to the right, add a gradient overlay. And I'll change the blend mode of the gradient overlay to overlay, and then I am also going to reverse it and hit OK.
Now, I'll hit Command+S or Ctrl+S to save it, close this document, and look how it updates when I get back into this other document. If I don't like that, I can use Command+Z and Control+Z to undo, and it switches right back to normal. So let's go back and I'll remove the Oil Paint filter now, and I'll add just a standard noise adjustment to this. So Filter > Noise > Add Noise and I will do about 5 pixels of Gaussian monochromatic noise. And actually 5 is a little strong, so maybe 2. There we go. Hit OK and there we have it.
I am going to actually bring in some artwork that I created outside of Photoshop, and I am going to do that by going to File > Place. In my chapter 04 exercise files folder, I have robot.ai. I will find that, place it, and hit OK, and then I will just move it down till it hits the bottom, just like this, hit Enter to commit. And now I'm going to make sure that the clouds are behind the robot, so I will drag that up in the Layers panel.
Once I've placed this in there, it is still a vector object. I can scale it, rotate it, do whatever I want to it, and it will not lose the quality that it had from Illustrator. I can also jump back into Illustrator and make changes to this artwork anytime I want, and then save it and it will update here in Photoshop. Let me show you what I am talking about. I will go over here and double-click where it says robot. When I jump into Illustrator, it's going to tell me that there's a PDF modification detected, indicating that I've modified this outside of Illustrator. I am just going to say Discard Changes, hit OK, and then I'm going to hit Command+1 or Ctrl+1 to zoom in to 100% on this. And basically what I am going to do is I am going to put a fill behind the eyes and behind the smile.
So I am just going to grab the Rectangle tool, and I'll draw a shape that goes all the way back behind here. I want it to be white. There we go. And I am going to set the Stroke Color to None and the Fill Color to White, and then I'll use Command+Left Bracket key or Ctrl+Left Bracket key on my keyboard to send it behind the current object that I'm working on. You could also right-click on it and choose Arrange > Send to Back. In this case I've already got it in the back, so I am good to go. I will save it.
Once I save it, if I jump back over into Photoshop, you can see that the white fill is now behind the robot, just like I needed it to be. So again, anytime I need to make a change to a Smart Object, I find it over in the Layers panel, double-click the Smart Object icon. If it's a Photoshop Smart Object, the Smart Object opens directly from within Photoshop. I make the changes, save, close it, and it updates. If it's an Illustrator Smart Object, like the one you see here, you double-click it, Illustrator launches, you make your changes, save that artwork in Illustrator, and then you jump right back into Photoshop, and it should auto-update each and every time.
The beauty part about this is I can always save this file and open it back up anytime and get back to editing that original vector piece of artwork. I don't have to worry about losing that vector quality ever again. That's the beauty of Smart Objects, and it's a great thing for designing web sites, UI, applications like the one you have here, anything that you're designing that needs to go across multiple screens or devices needs to be able to be flexible, and vector formatting gives you just that.

The Way We Live Now: taxing and spending, or perhaps doing the opposite. We're almost certain that some combination of tax increases or cuts and concomitant spending increases or cuts will help our paralyzed economy. We're not stupid.
Remember "homesteading?" It sounds like some long-lost sort of cabin-building project, out in Nebraska or something. We really don't know what it is precisely, because "reading every last story" is not something that is viable in our newly retrained new media job environment. I guess the point I want you, the reader, to walk away with is that homesteading is making a comeback, mostly because of a formula big tobacco companies figured out long ago: give away a little something free (land) and get back something of value (tax dollars).
The corollary to this, of course, is that land is worthless. Land in Nebraska, at least. Big whoop. Lots of things more desirable than Nebraska land are worthless these days, too. Like whatever it is that corporations did, or made. They find now that it's much more productive to cut things, and people, than to make things, or hire people.
That's just good solid arithmetic.
So we see that all economic indicators and indications and indexes indicate that perhaps our "best move" may be to simply give away everything, cut it right down to the bone marrow, then sit back and reap the rewards. What does this mean for the possible expiration of the Bush tax cuts, the only real issue that people that matter are thinking about these days? It means that taxes shall return, and we must simply rub our crystal balls and hope against hope that our leaders have made the right choices. Our nation's mansions are already crumbling. If this tax thing doesn't work, poor people will hardly have any mansions to gaze upon wistfully at all.

Air France KLM, Boeing
Neither Air France nor KLM have placed orders for the Boeing 787, but insiders told this website that the Dutch carrier is interested as it looks toward replacing its MD-11s. The group also is analyzing the possibility of adding MRO capability for the 747-8. "Again, many of KLM E&M customers committed to the 747-8, so it's almost unavoidable not to extend our range with this aircraft type," he said. Regarding acquisitions, Somers said, "Yes, it is part of our growth strategy. We want to be a major player in the MRO scene, worldwide. Also, there is a customer demand for proximity and for low-cost solutions." An announcement regarding an acquisition is expected in the "near future," he revealed, and "indeed, you can assume it will not be in Europe." AFI and KLM E&M reported turnover of [euro]2.86 billion ($3.84 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, up 6.6% from the prior year. Work for third-party customers contributed 34% of the total.

Air France, Lufthansa Technik
At Le Bourget in 2005, executives from Air France and leading maintenance, repair and overhaul specialist Lufthansa Technik signed an agreement that brought into being a company called Spairliners. With just two employees, it's probably the smallest enterprise of its kind in the industry - but it aims to pack a big punch when it comes to providing spares for the Airbus A380. Hamburg-based chief executive Jean-Luc Fattelay and chief financial officer Georg Fanta head a lean team of about a dozen people seconded from the two parent companies. Their mission, says Fattelay, is to provide Air France, Lufthansa and as many other A380 operators as they can sign up with the component support they need to keep their aircraft flying and earning.

Airbus Edging Ahead Of Boeing In 2007 Orders. After a frenzied four days of deals at the Paris Air Show, Airbus appears to have booked enough orders to move ahead of rival Boeing in the sales race this year. Airbus sold less than half as many planes as Boeing over the first five months of the year, but a characteristic surge on its home turf at Le Bourget may have put it ahead. It is not clear how many of the highly publicized deals announced at the show will turn into firm orders to be entered in the companies' online order books, an event closely monitored by investors and analysts, but Airbus has the upper hand. According to sales chief John Leahy, Airbus has taken 405 firm plane orders at the show so far, plus another 250 or so looser sale agreements often never firmed up. Added to the Airbus tally of 201 orders at the end of May, that would edge Airbus above the 600 mark for firm orders so far this year. Jun 22, 2007
First flight target for A400M's TP400 engine slips to fourth quarter 2007. The target date for the first flight of the Europrop International (EPI) TP400-D6 turboprop has slipped into the fourth quarter of this year after the engine consortium was forced to redesign some mechanical components that encountered higher than expected loads during bench testing according to Flight Global.

Airbus Edging Ahead Of Boeing In 2007 Orders After a frenzied four days of deals at the Paris Air Show, Airbus appears to have booked enough orders to move ahead of rival Boeing in the sales race this year. Jun 21, 2007
Airbus was close to finalizing an Indian order for A350 XWB aircraft at the Paris air show on Wednesday after securing 114 orders for a revamped design competing with the Boeing 787. Airbus is also working behind the scenes at the air show to win a reorder for more A380s from an existing Asian customer, an industry executive said. It was unclear whether a deal could be reached in time to be announced at Le Bourget. Jun 20, 2007
Airbus predicted it would exceed 600 firm orders for 2007 after bagging 219 on the first day of the Paris air show. The figure would be down from 790 net orders in 2006 when Airbus surrendered leadership of the global order race to Boeing and saw its market share fall to 43 percent, following delays in building its A380 superjumbo and redesigning the mid-sized A350. It is the first 2007 orders forecast issued by Airbus -- it usually predicts only deliveries which are forecast at 440-450 this year, leaving Airbus on top of Boeing -- but reflects the firm's growing optimism as it recovers from a shaky start. Sales chief John Leahy told reporters he expected Boeing to sell around the same number of planes this year for a total market of about 1,200 aircraft, with honors evenly split. As of now, Airbus has 420 firm orders on its books including Monday's USD$45 billion bonanza, Leahy said, putting it close to Boeing's level before the show started -- 429 orders. Jun 20, 2007
Airbus said on Tuesday it was unlikely to resume its suspended A380 freighter before 2015. "We will start it up later. Probably the middle of the next decade," Airbus sales chief John Leahy told reporters. Airbus had originally planned to build an A380 freighter soon after deliveries of the passenger version, but costly delays in the program and cancellations by customers such as United Parcel Service prompted the planemaker to temporarily shelve its freighter plans. Airbus has been hit by delays to its A380 superjumbo, which caused a dramatic slump in the 2006 profits of its parent company EADS. Jun 20, 2007
India Would Welcome Airbus Assembly PlantIndia caught Airbus off guard by trying to gauge its interest in building an assembly line on Indian soil on Wednesday, matching investment in China where Airbus plans to build jets from 2009. Jun 20, 2007
Parker Hannifin Corporation, a major turnkey supplier to the world's aerospace industry, has won a contract with Airbus to provided video monitoring equipment for the new A380 super jumbo. Controlled by a panel duplicated for both the cockpit crew and cabin services manager, up to 100 cameras will be positioned on the aircraft enabling a very high degree of passenger monitoring. The system allows for the images to be shared on an IFE (In Flight Entertainment) system and also on the ground via a SATCOM link. Jun 20, 2007
Airbus John Leahy, the sales chief said that Airbus expected sales of its A330 and A340 planes to exceed the record level reached in 2006. Leahy added that Airbus had 420 firm orders so far this year. Airbus has been hit by delays to its A380 superjumbo, which caused a dramatic slump in the 2006 profits of its parent company EADS.

Airbus's record haul of 339 plane orders or commitments on Monday, exceeding an air show peak seen in 2005, includes 219 firm orders and 120 provisional ones worth a total USD$45.7 billion at list prices, the European firm said on Monday. Airbus is battling to close the gap on Boeing after initially misjudging demand for twin-jet airliners like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which is due to enter service next year and has already attracted customers for almost 600 jets. Jun 19, 2007
A350 Design Frozen, Optimization Now - ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) Chief Executive Steven Udvar-Hazy said on Tuesday that Airbus had frozen the basic design of its A350 model but he expected the plane maker to continue to optimize it. Jun 19, 2007
Airbus, Boeing
So far, Boeing is five years ahead of Airbus in terms of development and dominates sales in the segment with nearly 600 orders. But Boeing's initial success in selling the 787, it is sold out until 2013, has restored the balance between the two planemakers for potential customers prepared to wait until the A350 enters service from that year. Airbus is resisting pressure from at least one of its customers, major aircraft leasing firm ILFC, to change the way it builds fuselages after Boeing opted for new technology allowing it to build the tube out of composite barrels, reducing parts. The European planemaker says it will build the A350 out of similar lightweight composite materials but keep them shaped in traditional panels riveted to an aluminum and titanium frame. Jun 18, 2007
Airbus, Bombardier
Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier is in talks with Airbus to supply parts such as fuselage and wings for the European group's new A350 jet, the head of its aerospace division told a French newspaper. "We would like to be suppliers of this (A350) program," Bombardier Aerospace President and Chief Operating Officer Pierre Beaudoin told La Tribune in an interview published on Wednesday. Beaudoin said Bombardier has been working with Airbus for about 10 years and its plant in Belfast, with 5,000 staff, was already supplying nacelles and other parts for the A320. The Canadian company is also a parts provider for the A330 and A340. Jun 20, 2007
Airbus, International Lease Finance Corporation, Rolls-Royce
International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) Chief Executive Steven Udvar-Hazy said on Tuesday that Airbus had frozen the basic design of its A350 model but he expected the plane maker to continue to optimize it. "I think the basic configuration is fixed and frozen but I think there is some optimization going on in the design and I think that will continue," Udvar-Hazy said at the Paris air show. "The engine is a big question" he said, referring to the fact GE Aviation was unwilling to offer an engine for the largest of the three versions, the A350-1000. Only Rolls-Royce is offering engines for the A350 currently. He also said the largest version of the plane would have "some different gear, engine and wing strengths" compared to the other two versions. "There will be some differences." ILFC is the world's largest aircraft lessor by fleet value and one of the largest buyers of wide-bodied planes. Jun 20, 2007
Airbus, OnAir
Airbus announced that EASA has certified OnAir, the onboard mobile phone and communications system it has developed in partnership with SITA. "The EASA airworthiness certification comes after successful tests were carried out by Airbus earlier this year and confirms the GSM onboard system's compatibility in the aircraft environment," the company said, adding that the OnAir service initially will be available on single-aisle aircraft operating short-haul flights in Western Europe. Jun 21, 2007
Airbus, TAP Portugal
TAP Portugal is negotiating with Airbus regarding its order for 15 A350s, President and CEO Fernando Pinto said at the Paris Air Show. The Portuguese carrier was one of the first to commit to the aircraft when it placed an order for 10 plus five options in November 2005 . Deliveries were scheduled to begin in 2013. "The 'old' version worked for us," Pinto revealed. "The XWB is a very different aircraft. We have to review if it fits in our fleet. We have to analyze, or better re-analyze, everything." He stressed that no decision has been made on whether to cancel the existing order or replace it with a commitment to the XWB. "The 'new' A350 might have some advantages over the 'old' one," he noted. "Yet it is also bigger. Maybe we don't need that. We will see." Jun 19, 2007
Boeing, Air France KLM
Boeing said it has won an order for 16 planes from Air France KLM worth a total of USD$2.7 billion at list prices. Air France ordered nine of Boeing's wide-bodied 777-300ER aircraft and took options on a further nine. The planes are being used to replace Air France's larger 747-400s. Air France already has a fleet of 46 777s and now has a total of 14 on order. General Electric is to supply the engines on the 777s, in a deal it said it was worth USD$450 million at list prices. At the same time KLM ordered seven of Boeing's single-aisle 737-700 planes. Both orders were already registered in Boeing's tally of firm orders, attributed to unidentified customers. Jun 20, 2007
Dassault Aviation, NetJets Europe
NetJets Europe is to upgrade its fleet of eight Dassault Falcon 2000EX business jets to the LX model in an effort to "create a better performing and more fuel-efficient fleet", says the operator. Work will begin at the end of the year to retrofit the aircraft with the new aerodynamic wing and Aviation Partners blended winglets. The LX is developed from the 2000EX, which it will replace in service in 2010. It can fly an extra 370km (200nm) - up to 7,400km - and climb to 41,000ft (12,500m) in 18min. The blended winglets are designed to reduce drag by up to 5%, at Mach 0.80, increasing range and cutting fuel consumption. NetJets Europe is Dassault's largest customer on the continent operating a fleet of 17 Falcon jets. In September 2006 the company signed the largest jet order in European history for 24 Falcon 7X business jets valued at $1.1 billion. Jun 21, 2007
EasyJet, Airbus
EasyJet is set to order about 35 Airbus A319 single-aisle aircraft in a deal worth USD$2.4 billion at list prices, industry sources said on Thursday. The deal is expected to be announced towards the end of the Paris air show, they said. Airbus declined comment. EasyJet could not immediately be reached for comment. Jun 21, 2007
Flybe, Bombardier, Embraer, BAE Systems
Flybe is looking to differentiate itself from airlines offering only a carbon offset program with a new "ecolabel" system that grades the environmental impact of each flight based on emissions, noise level and fuel use. The ratings will be available to each passenger on every Flybe flight. The UK-based LCC said it believes customers can be swayed to travel with eco-friendly companies. Newer aircraft like the Bombardier DHC-8-Q400 or Embraer E-195 receive marks in the A/B range while older BAe 146s, which will be replaced next year, receive a D, Flybe CCO Mike Rutter said. The carrier also participates in a carbon offset program. Over the past several years it has invested some $2 billion to ensure it operates a low-emission, fuel-efficient fleet, Rutter said yesterday at the Paris Air Show, adding that a recent UK survey revealed that some 22% of travelers would take environmental issues into account when selecting an airline. Jun 20, 2007
Flystar, Astraeus, Boeing
Flystar Astraeus has a fleet of four Boeing 757-200s and two Boeing 737-700s. Chairman is Brad Burgess formerly of City Flyer Express and managing director is Hugh Parry who, in his time, was chief executive of British World Airlines. The London Gatwick-based airline established in 2002. Jun 22, 2007
KLM Engineering, Boeing
KLM Engineering & Maintenance Executive VP Peter Somers said at the Paris Air Show that Air France Industries and KLM M&E intend to increase their collective profile among the world's largest MRO providers and narrow the gap with Lufthansa Technik through both the addition of new capabilities and acquisitions. "Several of KLM M&E's present customers and/or KLM alliance partners, such as Northwest Airlines and Kenya Airways, have ordered the Dreamliner and they have approached us to see if can support them. We have presented a business case [to the board] supporting the addition of Boeing 787 capability," Somers said. Jun 21, 2007
London City, Embraer
London City's future appears assured with news from the Paris Air Show that the Embraer 170 has been certificated for the steep approached pattern required at the airport. Aircraft normally approach an airport at an angle of 3 degrees, but due to London City's closeness to built-up area's it was agreed when the airport was approved in 1986 that a 5 degree glidescope be used in order to keep noise to a minimum. With the Bombardier DHC-8-Q400 series already operating at LCY, Airbus working towards approval for the A318, and now Embraer making the breakthrough, operators will for the future have a choice of aircraft in the 70 to 100 seat range. Presently only the BAe146 Avro series of the regional jets has certification, but that is out of production, while the lack of alternative aircraft types has been a cause for concern by the airport management. The BAe 146 however, is likely to be around for many years as the four-engined aircraft can carry up to 110 passengers. Jun 19, 2007
Rolls Royce, Airbus, China Eastern Airlines
Rolls Royce said it had won a USD$260 million share of a deal for International Aero Engines (IAE) to sell engines to China Eastern Airlines. The deal involves V2500 engines to power 30 Airbus twin-engined A320 series aircraft, Rolls said in a news release. IAE is a multinational firm which includes Rolls, Pratt & Whitney, Japanese Aero Engines and Germany's MTU Aero Engines. Jun 19, 2007
Rolls-Royce, Airbus, Avianca, Aeroflot, AerCap
Rolls-Royce said that its Trent engine had been selected by Avianca, Aeroflot and lease company AerCap. Colombian national airline Avianca has chosen the Trent to power up to 30 jets in a deal worth up to USD$1.1 billion at list prices. Rolls-Royce said under the deal, its first for the Trent engine in Latin America, it would also provide 10 years of support for the engines. Aeroflot selected the Trent to power the Russian airline's new fleet of 10 leased Airbus planes in a deal worth around USD$600 million. Rolls-Royce said the deal was the first for its Trent engine in Russia and included a long-term service agreement. Dutch aircraft leasing company AerCap has ordered Trents to power 10 firm Airbus A330 plane orders and three options. Deliveries of the aircraft are due to begin in 2009. Jun 20, 2007
Rolls-Royce, Alenia Aeronautica, Boeing
Rolls-Royce said it had won an order worth more than USD$500 million to supply engines for cargo planes for the US Army and US Air Force. The deal involves up to 180 engines for an initial 78 of the C-27J plane being produced by a team including L-3, Italy's Alenia Aeronautica and Boeing. The US military have said the Joint Cargo Aircraft program may involve up to 145 planes. Jun 20, 2007
Swiss European, BAE Systems
Swiss European is further standardizing its aircraft fleet by disposing of its four Avro RJ85s. One of these aircraft has already been withdrawn; and from November onwards, Swiss European will operate an all BAE Systems Avro RJ100 fleet. The standardization will allow Swiss European to further simplify its processes and lower its unit costs. The departing Avro RJ85s are also the oldest aircraft in the present Swiss European fleet. Swiss European is a brand of Swiss International Air Linbes. Jun 22, 2007
Terra Firma, AWAS, Airbus, Boeing, Pegasus Aviation Finance
Terra Firma and AWAS completed their acquisition of Pegasus Aviation Finance of San Francisco, which was announced last month. The combination will create the world's third-largest aircraft lessor, AWAS said. The new company owns 223 aircraft valued at more than $5.5 billion and has an additional 101 aircraft under management and on lease to more than 120 customers. It has $2.2 billion worth of orders in place with Airbus and Boeing. Jun 18, 2007
Thai Airways, Rolls-Royce, Airbus
Rolls-Royce reached a 10-year TotalCare services contract with Thai Airways covering the Trent 500s on 10 Airbus A340s. Jun 18, 2007

Pentagon studying Putin's body language to better predict behaviour
Published on Mar 8, 2014 6:50 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A Pentagon research team is studying the body language of Russian President Vladimir Putin and other foreign leaders to better predict their behaviour, officials said Friday.
The project, previously conducted under the State Department, is now backed by the Defense Department's Office of Net Assessment. Putin's psychological profile was last updated in 2012, a Pentagon official said.
Advocates of such studies argue that it could help US officials anticipate the Russian leader's actions after he ordered troops into neighboring Ukraine, taking control of the semi-autonomous Crimean Peninsula, which has led to tensions with the West reaching levels not seen since the Cold War.
Pentagon analysts have studied about 15 foreign leaders including Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, North Korea's Kim Jong Un and late Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Well, apology accepted, I had had a fairly rough week.
My apologies back for seeming a little quick on the trigger with playing the "victim card".
My experience with these may be a little jaundiced. "Nuisance" settlement may not really be the right word, tho'. The cases I have seen over these many years usually fall into these catagories.
A. Solid liability, small injury, therefore not economically feasable for the attorney or client. Insurance comapny will usually offer anywhere from specials plus $500 to specials plus $3000.00. Very demeaning for the attorney to do, b/c the ins. co., "knows" you probabaly wont litigate, and therefore really lowballs you right up to the point where they have to bring in counsel and their costs start goign up.
B. Weak liability, strong damages. Depending on the defendant, you might get a denial letter and they refuse to offer anyhting at all prior to suit. OR you might get a small offer of $3-5000.00, regardless of the specials. THIS is what I personally define as a "nuisance" settlement. (Medical bills of $5000 and lost wages of $7000 = $5000 settlement offer)
C. Weak liability, weak damages - Why did you even take this suit, counselor? Quit at least 6 months before the statute of limitations runs! (Depending on the degree of chance of a jury actually finding in your favor, this is where one could find "frivilous" lawsuits)
Most of the "frivilous" lawsuits the astroturfed anti-plainitff's lawyer groups scream about fall into one of these catagories:
a. inmate lawsuits - esp w/"jailhouse lawyer" (fellow prisoner w/good penmanship) ghostwriting it. Usually dismissed with less than 2 hours total judicial time involved and less than 5 hours opposing lawyer time. Only significant when the number of these gettign filed begins to pile up. (Giving word processers and access to online legal resources to inmantes is a bad idea for this reason alone)
b. pro se (self represented) civil litigant - usually a nutjob. However, even a blind squirrel finds an occaisional acorn, so they are a necessary evil. If for no other reason than to make TV shows seem plausible. (The "Big Bang Theory" episode where Sheldon goes to traffic court comes to mind)
c. Young lawyer who hung out his or her shingle from day one is a.) inexperienced (less than one year before the bar), and b.) desperate for work, takes and files a case that he or she never should have taken and/or filed. Sometimes, they even know it when they file it, but the statute of limitations has snuck up on them and they are in a box. (This is usually not a big burden on the system as it is relatively rare)

Jagr sets up 2 goals to lead Devils over Caps
Jaromir Jagr has hit so many NHL milestones this season for the New Jersey Devils that he is starting to downplay them.
Jagr tied another one on Friday night, setting up two goals to match former teammate Mario Lemieux for 10th on the NHL's career assists in a 2-1 win that sent the Washington Capitals to their seventh straight loss.
Jagr's response to the achievement was expected.
''I don't know,'' the remarkable 41-year-old Czech said. ''I don't pay attention.''
Jagr is having a season that makes it hard not to pay attention. Besides being the Devils leading scorer (16 goals, 26 assists), he has replaced Gordie Howe as the NHL's all-time leader in game-winning goals (122), moved past Mark Messier for seventh place all-time in goals (697) and now tied Lemieux with 1,033 assists, seven behind Marcel Dionne.
Jagr was able to joke about the assists, noting: ''I'm a great goal scorer.''
He was not thrilled about the game, which was the Devils' final one before Sunday's outdoor game at Yankee Stadium against the Rangers.
''We didn't play well,'' Jagr said. ''We're lucky we got two points. They are struggling and we didn't score when we had the chance. We didn't play very well and it almost cost us a game.''
Stephen Gionta and Adam Henrique scored for New Jersey and Cory Schneider continue his stellar play in net, stopping 30 shots to give New Jersey its second straight win and points in eight of nine games.
Jason Chimera scored for the Capitals, whose seven-game slide is their longest since late 2010. This was the second game they played without All-Star Alex Ovechkin, out with a lower-body injury.
''I thought we had them on their heels,'' Schneider said. ''They are a good team and they need points so they came out hard. They have some skill players, even without Ovechkin.''
Washington, which was starting a season-high five game road trip, has now lost 13 of 16, and it has scored eight goals during the current losing streak.
The Devils, who had their biggest goal output since 2010 in a 7-1 win over St. Louis on Tuesday, didn't wait long to take the lead against Washington.
Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov had a puck bounce over his stick in the Devils' zone and Gionta pushed the puck to Jagr, who returned it to him. The center skated the puck into the Washington zone and beat goaltender Michal Neuvirth with a shot from the right circle that somehow squirted through a crease between his elbow and body.
Jagr's other assist was marvelous. With the Devils on a power play, they skated the puck up the ice with a string of passes. Jagr took the next to last one from Travis Zajac to the left of Neuvirth and sent a quick cross-crease pass to Henrique for a slam dunk into an empty net.
''Once Jags got it, I tried to back off and give myself a little room if the puck bounced,'' Henrique said. ''It was a great play by him. Merry Christmas!''
Schneider, who came into the game with a 0.96 goals against average in his last five starts, didn't let the Capitals on the board until Chimera deflected a point shot by John Erskine into the net midway through the final period.
Washington had its chances before that. Schneider stopped a short-handed breakaway by Jay Beagle in the second period and Brooks Laich had a shot later in the session hit off the goalpost.
''We had three short-handed breakaways and we didn't score,'' Washington coach Adam Oates said. ''He held them in and made the saves when he needed to. We made saves, too. You need execution, and the mistakes are not blatant, but, no mistakes, it's still the NHL, and you get burned.''
Neuvirth was almost as good as Schneider. He finished with 28 saves and was outstanding during the Devils' five power plays.
NOTES: Gionta's third tally of the season ended a 13-game goal drought. ...Washington is 1-of-24 on the power play in the last eight games. ...Chimera played his 300th game for the Capitals.

Tito Sotto does an Enrile, quits Senate post, too
Saying he was weary, Sen. Vicente Sotto III resigned as Senate majority leader on Thursday, the last session day of the 15th Congress, in solidarity with Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile who stepped down on Wednesday as Senate President.
"I don't think I can top the time and effort, blood and sweat that I put in the last three years into the next three years. So let's leave it at that. As they say, quit while you're ahead. It's better that way," Sotto told reporters.
Enrile resigned on Wednesday after castigating colleagues who questioned the propriety of his yearend release of millions of pesos for maintenance and other operating expenses for selected senators' offices and P250,000 per senator supposedly as Christmas gifts.
Sotto said he wanted to focus on being with the minority and vowed that he would be diligent in scrutinizing administration measures in the
16th Congress.
"There are many factors. First off, I'm already tired. It's difficult," Sotto said.
Asked if Enrile's resignation contributed to his decision, Sotto said, "Probably, it was also a factor."
"I've lost interest because after three years of giving your all, the leadership was cast in a bad light. So, somehow, we're all affected," Sotto said.
Asked if his decision was influenced by some senators who wanted to elect a new Senate President, he said: "No. I was just telling them that they cannot elect a new Senate President. I told them that there were only 14 of us [in the caucus] and that Greg [Sen. Gregorio Honasan] won't vote for the person they were going to elect."
A senator needs 13 votes to be elected Senate President.
"Senator [Franklin] Drilon agreed. He said, 'You know me better than that,'" Sotto said.
Drilon is the presumptive next Senate President when the next Congress convenes on July 22.
'Macho bloc'
Enrile and Sotto are members of the Senate's so-called "macho bloc" that held the top leadership positions in the outgoing Senate but face being relegated to the minority when the 16th Congress convenes on July 22.
Their allies in the bloc took over the vacant positions—Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada as Senate President and Honasan as majority leader.
A fifth member, Sen. Panfilo Lacson, is bowing out at the end of his second consecutive six-year term.
Asked why he did not just wait for the 15th Congress to end in the next several weeks, Sotto said, "It's better this way so I could concentrate on joining the minority."
"We will be watching the 16th Congress on how they will handle the issues at hand, these leadership issues from before," he said.
Sotto said the next leadership should look into the alleged hacking of the Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau e-mail account on the eve of the May 13 elections when reporters received a statement, supposedly from Honasan, saying the senator was withdrawing his candidacy.
Honasan promptly denied sending the e-mail through the social media and a formal statement sent to the media.
'You can do it'
Estrada said on Thursday he would have tried to prevent Enrile from giving up the Senate leadership had he known about it.
"I would have told him, 'Manong, it might be useless to resign with only two session days to go. We will just fight it out until July 22," Estrada told reporters. "Perhaps, the man just had enough. He is already 89. I don't think he deserves that kind of treatment."
Estrada said he was on the verge of tears when he walked Enrile down to the basement parking lot after the resignation speech.
"I can feel that he was really hurt, angry. He told me, 'Jinggoy, now that you are acting Senate President, I know you can do it. Do your job and I will still be here to guide you,'" Estrada quoted Enrile as telling him.
"Until now, his critics have yet to stop that's why he deemed it best that he just resign from his post so that they could stop talking. In fact, he dared all the senators to open their books and divulge to the public how they were spending their funds and those of their committees," he said.

Shell Scripting a Camera Server
The Swedish company Axis Communications AB introduced a new concept several years ago, when it launched its line of camera servers. Perhaps recognizing that its line of network cameras (one of which is reviewed in LJ, September 2000) could not fill all the niches of old-style analog surveillance cameras, it also offered its control and digitizing electronics in a separate, rugged, fanless enclosure. Available in versions with one or four analog video inputs and one pass-through output, camera servers now have offered companies a way to modernize their surveillance systems incrementally for most of a decade.
Naturally, the appliances run Linux these days, on rather specialized hardware. We came into contact with this server because a client had needs that could not be met by Axis' own cameras, but its Web-browser-based interface was well liked by both us and the client. So we were quoted some pro-level third-party hardware from a traditional surveillance camera supplier that was tested to work well with the camera server.
Like computer hardware, cameras and their optics are money sinks. Depending on desired sophistication, it is possible to spend any given sum you might have available.
For our purposes, we needed a remote-controllable pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera for outdoor use, with a respectable amount of magnification. You can find PTZ cameras for a few hundred dollars for basic indoor versions, and a few thousand dollars for variants tolerant of outdoor climate, direct sunlight and minor vandalism.
We went with a pendant-mount enclosed clear dome system at the time—the type you might see at modern airports. For outdoor winter use in Norway, we needed a heated enclosure to avoid ice build-up. Here are the specifications:
Pan movement: 360 degrees continuous.
Vertical tilt: +2 to -92 degrees.
Image sensor: 1/4 inch CCD (3.2 x 2.4mm).
Zoom: 22X optical, focal length 4 to 88mm.
Sensitivity: 0.07 lux at 1/1.5 s shutter speed.
Shutter speed: 1/1.5 to 1/30,000 s.
Minimum F-stop: f/1.6
Operating environment: -40 to +50 degrees Celsius, sustained.
Now, part of the idea in using a PTZ camera for this project was periodically imaging several fixed points and uploading these images to a Webserver. Here we encountered a problem. The stock software could do periodic imaging and FTP just fine. However, we had no way to tell it to go to a PTZ position before snapping the image. The functionality was not essential for our first customer, so delivery went ahead while we researched the issue.
The software in this appliance is open to modification in a few ways. Source code is available for all open-source components of the firmware image—so the administration interface CGI is missing, but the rest is mostly available for inspection and modification. The source code for a specific firmware release is not downloadable, though; you must request it in writing, from the Axis IPR Department. They will send you the source code on a CD for a nominal fee.
We had more customers in the pipeline, so research went ahead. That work eventually yielded several APIs that could be mined for functionality.
Here are the available APIs:
The normal admin interface (Web browser).
Shell scripting.
PHP3 Lite.
GCC SDK for Linux/cris.
As with most embedded devices, there are some restrictions and inconveniences. First and foremost, the severely limited space. Less than 100kb-writable filesystem space is available for third-party modifications, out of the 4MB Flash storage. All standard software is on a read-only filesystem, not replaceable without creating a custom firmware image.
No SSH server or client was available at the time, so custom shell scripts had to be triggered by timer or run from a PHP script. There was a telnet server available for development use, however. And nowadays, Dropbear SSH has been ported to the architecture.
We wanted to make do without an additional server just for automation, if we could, so our effort went toward some internal shell scripting, triggered at a set interval by the task scheduler utask. Incidentally, this task scheduler has some extra capabilities compared to a vanilla cron—it can react to external events, like a digital input low-high transition, or loss of video signal on camera #2.

Tobacco Capitalism tells the story of the people who live and work on U.S. tobacco farms at a time when the global tobacco industry is undergoing profound changes. Against the backdrop of the antitobacco movement, the globalization and industrialization of agriculture, and intense debates over immigration, Peter Benson draws on years of field research to examine the moral and financial struggles of growers, the difficult conditions that affect Mexican migrant workers, and the complex politics of citizenship and economic decline in communities dependent on this most harmful commodity.
Benson tracks the development of tobacco farming since the plantation slavery period and the formation of a powerful tobacco industry presence in North Carolina. In recent decades, tobacco companies that sent farms into crisis by aggressively switching to cheaper foreign leaf have coached growers to blame the state, public health, and aggrieved racial minorities for financial hardship and feelings of vilification. Economic globalization has exacerbated social and racial tensions in North Carolina, but the corporations that benefit have rarely been considered a key cause of harm and instability, and have now adopted social-responsibility platforms to elide liability for smoking disease. Parsing the nuances of history, power, and politics in rural America, Benson explores the cultural and ethical ambiguities of tobacco farming and offers concrete recommendations for the tobacco-control movement in the United States and worldwide.

Recent Oaxaca Reviews
It is wonderful to have had a two month stay at Xano Xano and not be able to say enough good things about both the hosts and the accommodation. Without any question it is the most beautiful place where we have ever had the pleasure of staying. Our hosts, Penny and Victor, could not have been more helpful. Whatever rating scale one uses our stay was off the charts, it was that positive. We were there for the two full months of February and March of 2015. From the time we entered the courtyard for the first time and had our initial view of the beautiful landscaping, the infinity pool and the outdoor living room and the two separate living units banked over each other and covered with vines and flowers we fell in love with Xano Xano. When we entered what was to be our living area we found it to be very attractively decorated and, we discovered, comfortably furnished, with very tasteful art and pottery throughout. We really appreciated the two ceiling to floor bookshelves full of excellent literature and popular reading materials. Because we like to do a lot of our own cooking we found that the kitchen had everything we could possibly need in terms of cutlery, dishes, full size fridge, stove, microwave etc and many of the basic and other supplies used in preparing meals. We chose not to rent a car and instead used the community taxi (collectivo) to travel in and out of Oaxaca on a regular basis. Thanks to the clever design of Xano, Xano we had three outdoor areas that were part of our exclusive living area. We took full advantage of the back patio, the front balcony, and the very attractive outdoor pallapa type living room with its multiple works of arts, crafts, and several different comfortable seating areas fronted by the, always available, lovely infinity pool. Penny and Victor were a fountain of helpful information and advice. We followed their suggestions to the letter and never went wrong. What wonderful, kind and thoughtful hosts they were. We very much enjoyed staying in the small town of San Agustin Etla. Despite our inability to speak Spanish we have always found Mexicans friendly and very hospitable. We always felt totally safe and secure there as well as in Oaxaca Should our annual travels in our retirement years again include Mexico we will certainly want to see if Xano Xano is available for at least part of our trip. Leaving such great hosts and beautiful place was not easy.

Hostage drama in Pasig ends
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—After an almost five-hour standoff, a man who took hostage his mother, nephews, niece and housemaids peacefully surrendered to the Pasig police Friday night.
Hostage taker Emerson Go, 31, surrendered to the Pasig police after hours of negotiation and holding hostage his 66-year-old mother, Mildred, his two nephews aged eight and five years old, a four-year-old niece, and two of their housemaids inside the family-owned St. Gabriel International School along Sandoval Avenue in Barangay Palatiw, Pasig City.
Chief Inspector Renato Castillo of the Pasig Police said that Go surrendered after talking to a negotiator.
"He has talked to a negotiator and has stood down. The suspect surrendered and released the hostages, who are now in a safe condition. There were no injuries," Castillo said in a radio interview.
Senior Inspector Rodrigo de Dios, head of the investigation section of the Pasig Police, earlier said that Go was armed with two handguns when the incident was first reported to the police at around 2:40 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
Before he surrendered, Go freed one of the two housemaids. He turned over to the police the firearms he used in the incident.
De Dios said that Go's initial demand was that his wife and three children, who live in New Manila, Quezon City and have yet to be identified by the police, be brought to him in Pasig.
However, Castillo said that after talking to a negotiator, who was Go's friend, he agreed to surrender without any further incident.
The police were investigating serious problems with Go's wife and family as the motive behind the hostage incident.

Phelps, Franklin big winners at Golden Goggles
"It's been a time for me to get away from everything and have my own alone time," he said. "I'm still trying to stay in some kind of shape and stay attached to the water a little bit. It's been good to be able to get into the water when I want and get out when I want."
Franklin recently decided to swim at California in college and to compete there for two years before turning pro after the 2016 Rio Olympics. But first, she has to sort out her high school swimming plans.
The season has already started in Colorado, so out of fairness to her coach and teammates, she wants to make the latest of her big decisions quickly.
"I've had to make a lot of them, and to be honest I'm kind of tired of them, and I don't want to make them anymore," Franklin said. "But I think this is my last big decision for a while."
Her parents worry that if she opts out of the chance to swim for her high school, she'll later regret it.
"The hardest part for me is I really have no gut feeling on this," Franklin said. "In my past big decisions, I've had a gut feeling. Now it's hard because I'm really relying on other people's opinions, and there's so many different opinions that I have no idea."
Vollmer, the 100-meter butterfly gold medalist in London, swam for her high school in Texas after competing at the 2004 Olympics and remembers hearing the criticism too. But she knew representing Granbury High offered an experience that even the sport's biggest stage couldn't.
"It just felt like high school was my hometown. It was where I grew up," she said. "It was my friends that I'd had since kindergarten."
Franklin hopes to recapture that spirit as she makes this decision.
"I think I'm letting it get too stressful, and that's not the point," she said. "The point of high school to me is to have fun and enjoy it."

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
30 May 2015 6:47:38am
"[T]he world's environmental consciousness" is just like any other form of consciousness - it cannot function properly without accurate information.
The world's mass media are supposed to provide the function, and for a long time they have been utterly failing to do this. Whether out of fear or corruption or both - it's no coincidence that most of the world's mass media outlets are in the hands of wealthy climate change deniers - the media has handed the mike to the shonky, baseless, self-contradictory arguments of the deniers at least half of the time, in a spineless attempt at 'balance'.
There is no balance between science and pseudo-science. The mass media doesn't give half of its air time to the Flat Earth Society in reports on geophysics, and the arguments used by the deniers are no better.
What is happening now, troubling as it is, is just the beginning of the colossal disaster and tragedy which we have needlessly brought upon ourselves, as this article points out.
Hundreds of thousands of people are dying from the effects of climate change every year already, and that death toll is rising. This is a crime against humanity on a larger scale than any previous genocide, and whatever we do to ameliorate it its effects are set to continue for at least the next thousand years.
We need to have ecocide established as a crime against humanity under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, and we need to be putting climate change deniers on trial for inciting and/or abetting ecocide. These deniers will not be put on trial for their opinions, but for the lies they told to try to defend those opinions.
Lengthy prison terms for the worst of the deniers (and their backers) found guilty is hardly an appropriate penalty for people who are guilty of the greatest crime in the history of civilisation, the negligent and reckless attempt to destroy the ecosystems of an entire planet, but it's at least a gesture to the thirty or more generations to come who will have to live with the consequences of the diabolical short-sightedness, arrogance, folly, greed and selfishness of one generation of people who worshipped their own wallets to the exclusion of everything else.

The Holistic Sanctuary Issues Statement Concerning The New York Times' Editorial: 'Painkiller Overdoses in Women'
The Holistic Sanctuary, home of the exclusive, all-natural and proprietary Pouyan Method for enabling patients to permanently end addiction, announces, in response to the latest editorial in the New York Times about painkiller overdoses in women, its heightened efforts to help all patients suffering from this condition.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2013
The Holistic Sanctuary, home of the exclusive, all-natural and proprietary Pouyan Method for enabling patients to permanently end addiction, announces its response to the latest editorial in the New York Times about painkiller overdoses in women and our heightened efforts to help all patients suffering from this condition.
For the New York Times to issue this editorial, which reflects careful review of available statistics and the growing problem of addiction in general, is a reminder that the proverbial "War on Drugs," in which the U.S. government (based on the most recent data from 2010) spent $15 billion, or $500 per second, is nothing of the sort. For a war entails a series of battles – victories and setbacks for each side, until a truce or decisive blow vanquishes the enemy – and, in this war, addiction remains the winner for every type of drug: opiates, heroin, cocaine, alcohol, methadone, suboxone, speed, oxycontin and many (too many to cite here) substances.
This epidemic underscores the importance of selecting the right drug rehab center, in which women – and men – can permanently end their addiction to opiates, painkillers, alcohol and other harmful substances. For the number of deaths and overdoses continues to rise, thereby demonstrating an essential fact: that traditional techniques cannot – and do not – permanently end addiction.
In contrast to conventional therapies, successful opiate addiction treatments are available at The Holistic Sanctuary, where the experts who provide this customized care do not – and will not – use the same, ineffective treatments that leave patients sick and emotionally exhausted.
Based on data from the Centers for Disease Control: From 2010, which most likely is a very conservative estimation of a far greater threat, more than 6,600 women died from a painkiller overdose, a big leap from about 1,300 in 1999, though still fewer (according to the Times) than the 10,000 deaths among men.
All of which illustrates the necessity of finding a non-12-step drug rehab facility, where experts know the difference between a disease and a curable condition. That distinction is critical because it means the difference between healing a patient's brain and sentencing them to further rounds of toxic (but ineffective) "treatment."
Selecting the right opiate addiction rehab is, therefore, the most important decision a patient can make. That choice is critical because most of these women who are (or were, because they have since passed away) addicted to opiates like heroin, methadone, suboxone and other prescription drugs either developed an addiction as a consequence of poor medical treatment for an unrelated condition – like a physical, on-the-job injury – and, devoid of any supervision or tapering of medication, quickly moved on to taking other hard core drugs.
In comparison, The Holistic Sanctuary is the one heroin addiction rehab center that seeks to permanently end addiction through the exclusive and all-natural Pouyan Method. Created by Johnny Tabaie, this safe, non-toxic and personalized treatment is the result of more than 5 years of extensive research, development and careful application.
Readers can learn more about Johnny's remarkable journey by clicking Johnny The Healer.
More importantly, the brain scans of patients – dramatic Before and After images – confirm the power of the Pouyan Method. The scans are independent proof – the machines only reveal the truth, for which any doctor can immediately identify whether an area of the brain is either healthy or damaged from addiction – so individuals can see for themselves that there is a way to end addiction permanently. People can view these images by clicking here: Brain Scans.
"At The Holistic Sanctuary, we are an alternative drug rehab center with an innovative, safe – and effective – way to end addiction permanently. The video testimonials from our patients are compelling, yes, but the brain scan images – the ultimate form of evidence – demonstrate, beyond any reasonable doubt, that addiction is neither a disease nor incurable. For women battling addiction, we can heal your brain so you can heal your life. That advantage is too valuable to ignore," says Mr. Tabaie.
About The Holistic Sanctuary
The Holistic Sanctuary is the home of the exclusive, all-natural and proprietary Pouyan Method, which enables patients to permanently end a variety of addictions. Unlike conventional drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, which have rates or failure or relapse among patients, The Holistic Sanctuary offers a customized protocol with the amenities of a 5-star resort. We seek to stop addiction without prescription medication or the use of 12-step programs. Nor do we classify patients as victims of an incurable disease. Our therapies focus on healing the brain, so a patient can heal their life.
