Having good blood circulation may help you avoid heart disease and other health problems. Here are some tips for improving circulation.
If blood doesn't move well through your veins and arteries, your tissues and organs aren't getting enough oxygen and nutrients. Here are tips for avoiding heart disease and other major health problems that can result:
• Be aware of trouble. Symptoms of poor circulation include tingling in the feet and hands, cold fingers and toes, bluish-tinted skin and slow-healing wounds. If you notice those problems, talk to your doctor.
• Keep moving. Aim to exercise 30 minutes a day. If you spend a lot of time sitting, stand up or do some simple movements at least once an hour — for example, rotating your arms in small circles, tapping your knees and thighs with a fist or doing a few jumping jacks.
• Drink smart. Water improves circulation; try it warm or at room temperature rather than iced. Alcohol, sodas and other sugary drinks can have the opposite effect.

• Eat right. Limit sugar, salt and unhealthy fats such as full-fat dairy products, coconut oils and processed baked goods. Load up on fruits, vegetables and whole grains and eat moderate amounts of healthy fats found in fish, olive oil, avocado, nuts and sesame seeds.
• Don't smoke. Nicotine use is a leading cause of circulation problems.
• Put your feet up. Regularly prop up your legs for short periods of time.
• Take a warm bath. Soaking your body, particularly your feet, in warm water can boost blood flow.
• Ask about supplements. Talk to your doctor about options such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, omega 3 fish oil or herbal products.
• Lower stress. Over time, mental anxiety can lead to circulatory problems. Find an enjoyable hobby, get enough sleep, exercise regularly and learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and yoga stretches.

Senior Simone Hoey was named Big West Conference Golfer of the Month for April. (Photo by Cameron Fujimoto/LBSU)
April 18, 2013
IRVINE, Calif. - Long Beach State senior Simone Hoey was named Big West Conference Women's Golfer of the Month for April, the league office announced on Thursday.
The Rancho Cucamonga native captured her second career individual medalist honors earlier this week at the Fresno State Lexus Classic and helped LBSU win its second tournament team title this season.
Hoey recorded a 54-hole score of 5-under par 211 after shooting rounds of 72-69-70 at the par-72, 6,212 yard Copper River Country Club in Fresno. Hoey was only one of two players to finish under par as she won by four strokes over Big West Freshman of the Year candidate Luciane Lee (-1) of UC Irvine.
Hoey's second round score of 69 matched a career-low as she previously carded that number twice in her career, both taking place at the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic (2009, 2012) in Fort Collins, Colo.
Hoey was also the top player at the inaugural Black & Blue Rivalry Match vs. UC Irvine as she led all 14 players from both teams with a 1-over 72 and led the 49ers to a five-shot victory over the Anteaters at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine.
This is the second monthly award for Hoey as she previously won the honors in 2011 for the month of February. This also marked the first monthly award for LBSU since October of 2011, when former 49er Noelle Zavaleta took home the honors.
LBSU returns to action Apr. 21-23, traveling up to San Luis Obispo for the Big West Conference Women's Golf Championship at the San Luis Obispo Country Club.

native gtk3 menubar in libreoffice
Following quickly on native gtk3 popup context menus is implementation of native gtk3 menubar and menus.
This is mostly achieved by reusing the export of the toplevel menubar and menu structure via GMenuModel work by Antonio Fernandez and Bjoern Michaelsen and just stuffing a GtkMenuBar into a GtkGrid in the toplevel widget and moving the LibreOffice "guts" widget a level down with no LibreOffice menubar visible.

According to the site, both have filed for joint custody.
The couple filed a joint statement explaining how the split will effect the children saying, "While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment."
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres last year, Stefani spoke about her relationship with Rossdale, saying, "We're like everybody else, we go through our cycles… It's crazy. I can't believe I've known him as long as I have. And that we still have fun together."

Syria's opposition National Coalition meets next week in Istanbul to discuss the formation of an interim government and the selection of its head, a spokesman said on Thursday.
Tuesday's meeting will focus on "the question of a government and its chief," said Walid al-Bunni, while stressing that the discussions were not expected to lead to the designation of an opposition prime minister.
Key opposition leader Burhan Ghalioun added: "It is not sure at all that there will be an election, but it will be discussed."
The opposition was due to meet in Istanbul last month to elect a premier for a government in rebel-held zones of Syria. but the meeting was postponed.
The delay came amid pressure from the United States and Russia, who insisted that a transitional government emerge from talks between the Syrian regime and the opposition battling to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
On Wednesday, the Arab League said it is prepared to hand Syria's seat in the organisation to the opposition if it sets up an executive body.
The League, in a resolution adopted at a meeting of foreign ministers in Cairo, called for the opposition Coalition "to form an executive body to take up Syria's seat" and attend its next summit, in Doha on March 26-27.
The umbrella group would retain Syria's seat in the 22-member organisation "until elections leading to the formation of a government to assume the responsibilities of power in Syria," it said.
Syria was suspended from the 22-member pan-Arab organisation in late 2011, as the death toll from fighting increased.
The United Nations says more than 70,000 people have been killed since the conflict first erupted two years ago and one million people have become refugees.
The Coalition, led by Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, is recognised as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people by the Arab League, as well as several Western nations.

Panzhihua Transportation Tips by Lion_Beat
Panzhihua Transportation: 5 reviews and 1 photos
Most RecentBest Rated

There is a long-distance bus from Panzhihua to Lijiang and viceversa.
The price is 62 RMB an the journey is quite fun! It's usually a mid-size bus for about 25 pax.
And I can understand why it's a mid-size one... :) it's because this is the type which will suite the road which is mostly narrow (enough to fit just 2 vehicles) and with a lot of mountain virages. The landsacape is very impressive and it probably worth a ride just for that. Also you will get to see how the locals drive... they drive like crazy! when the bus driver was about to turn on a virgae he would not lower the speed, but he would just signal that I'm coming round the corner... :) and he drived really fast for this kind of road. Apparently all the other drivers do just the same. Also, the only time he would have to stop is just because we were driving throgh some small village where the locals have a street market, of course on the road and there could pass only one vehicle, so from time to time you would have to let vehicles from opposite direction to pass. But it was also interesting, cause you get to see the locals and the street market. If you're realy into adventure the 7-8 hours trip with this bus can be fun. You'll have one stop on the way to eat and maybe 2 more for the toilet..
There are several buses leaving from Panzhihua to Lijiang, the one I took was at 8:30, and it is suitable when you came with the K117 train at 7:30.
The clercks at the bus station will speak English fairly well for you in order to get your ticket. And that is realy surprising, as in other big cities it sometimes can be more of the trouble. But on the other hand it's understandable as each day same route is followed by tens of foreigners. Out of 24 passengers on this bus, there where 4 foreigners including me.
Mode: TO
Type: Bus
You can get to Panzhihua by train. There is a no: K117 train from Beijing to Panzhihua. The train leaves from Beijing at 11:29 and you'll get to Panzhihua after 2 nights spent in train at around 7:30. Also you can take the same train from Chengdu, it leaves at 18:20, you'll be at Panzhihua next morning (same around 7:30 :)
Also you may catch this train from Xi'an or EmeiShan - other travel destinations people usually come from.
Oh.. and about the price:
Soft-sleeper from Beijing will cost about 900 RMB, hard-sleeper will be around 500 RMB.
Soft-sleeper from Chengdu will be 300 RMB, hard-sleeper is 179 RMB.
Keep in mind that the prices may changes and also depends on the lower or upper bed you are taking, but the difference is minor.
Mode: TO
Type: Train
There is a bus from train station to long distance bus station and viceversa. The trip will take about 40 minutes, as the train station is out of town. It used to take more time, but know they rebuilded the road (in nov.2005 there was just a small portion to be complited) so the trip will be really smooth. The price is 4 RMB. The bus is an old-type 40-people standart one filled with locals carrying their luggage inside the bus. Some of them who will not get the seat will still travel by standing. So if you are not planing on standing as well make sure you have a sit. As soon as you'll get out of the bus or train station you'll notice people calling you to the bus, so it is realy hard to miss it. Enjoy your ride!

dont forget, third week of August, the subpenny market heats up into the HIGH season -
SVFC is a highly looked at subpenny,
over the summer months it has done this 3 times moving from .0014 to .0017 to .0020
HUGE SWING TRADE OPPORTUNITY going into end of AUGUST to the END of SEPTEMBER
we can see the .0040's to .0050's by end of August to Mid-September IMO
not to mention the added NEWS that is coming which many of you have referenced
IMO i see much opportunity for a good 4 to 8 week swing, good luck with your trading!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
@stck2longs - I disagree. i think that SVFC is more set up for a pattern trade potentially another 5 month long rally like we just had from November 2013 to March of 2014, after the multi-month slump the stock is poised to change gears and now going to the long side for several months. for most investors there going to need to try buy under $0.0020 and then sell around $0.0075 a share like 4 months later in order to cash in big time.
hehehe, u missed a huge swing trade Friday, short at .0025, hehehe
I will be holding my 11M shares until Dec. 2015.
Sentiment: Hold

It turns out that some of the best ways to understand mathematical concepts and to solve mathematical problems is by expressing them with knit and crochet models. Daina Taimina, a math professor at Cornell, was the first to crochet a model of hyperbolic space. Hyperbolic crochet was also used to show the coral reef by the Institute for Figuring.
On our web site you can find a pattern for basic hyperbolic shapes using these concepts.
In Science Magazine Carolyn Yackel, an assistant professor of math at Mercer University in Atlanta is quoted as saying that "Crochet, knitting and other crafts allow people to visualize, recontextualize and develop new problems and answers."
Thanks to Jack and Marlene in Sales for pointing us to this interesting information.

It's been a dream of mine for over 10 years–to have a flagship store, a studio space at our Manhattan location, where we can display our yarns and inspire customers with our images and garments in a way that truly reflects the Lion Brand vision. My goal is for it to become the center of the yarn universe.
Here is the facade of the building under construction. We'll be telling you more as time goes on. Since we do want it to be a surprise until we have our grand opening, peeks will be limited. But, as a reader of this blog, you'll be offered a few exclusive preview days before we open to the general public. Watch this blog and look for announcements in our newsletter in September.
In all of New York City, there are so few places to buy Lion Brand, we think you'll enjoy the opportunity to purchase our yarns when you're here. But there will be so much more to the Lion Yarn Studio. There will be classes, book signings, fashion shows and more! I am truly excited.

Knitting and crocheting are not simply hobbies for relaxation, can be very useful to kick habits like smoking as well! Chapel Hill News chronicled Riva Econopouly, a woman who put down her cigarettes for knitting needles, and has been smoke-free ever since. This is an incredible story of a woman who used to smoke up to three packs a day, but thanks to her knitting needles, was able to kick the habit. In fact, About.com's guide to quitting smoking suggests picking up portable hobbies such as crocheting or knitting to control the urge. Rocky Mountain News wrote that even teenagers are knitting to get rid of their nicotine dependence.
If you have any stories about how crafting helped someone quit smoking, we'd love to hear about it. Send us your comments.

Whether it's for a charity or just for fun, being around others can truly enhance the experience of knitting and crocheting. In YarnCraft (our 30-minute downloadable audio-show) episode #17, my co-host Liz and I shared ideas for gathering to knit and crochet in a group.
Here are a few tips:
1. Do a pattern together. Whether you each create a rectangle for a Warm Up America! afghan or you all make the same pattern (like in our knit-along), you can find support (as well as expertise and advice) in numbers.
2. Add your own influence. Take a pattern like our basic wristers and personalize it. Each person can make it in their own colors, adding their own embellishments, etc.
3. Try new yarns. Throw a "yarn-tasting" party by gathering some friends and passing around some new yarns. Everyone can make a swatch of each yarn to take with them, so that you all know how the yarn works up and you have a record of the colors you like.
4. Teach new people. Bring new knitters and more experienced knitters together and hold a class. This is a great activities for mothers and daughters, girl and boy scouts, groups of new mothers (maybe make it a baby shower activity) and more.
5. Create for a cause. Make items to donate to the charity (find one at our Charity Connection) of your choice. It's always nice to know that your handiwork is going to a good cause.
For more ideas, as well as some great pattern recommendations, visit the YarnCraft blog post on this episode.

In last week's post I talked about how we design based on experimenting with swatching. Last week I shared a peek into the process by which we decide on color sequencing.
Here is the afghan we created with the new Vanna's Choice colors that was based on that swatch.

Oscar-Winning Screenwriter Finds Herself Part Of 2 Movies At TIFFFor some reason, Diablo Cody seems to have the knives pointed at her more easily (and unfairly) than other screenwriters.

But it certainly reveals something about Cody's presence in Hollywood that she has found herself part of two movies that recently played TIFF and in one case she's not happy, while in the other it seems she's apparently les...Read More »

Conn. lawmakers unveil bipartisan gun control plan
HARTFORD, Conn. With an announcement of sweeping proposals to curb gun violence, Connecticut lawmakers said they are hoping to send a message to Congress and other state legislators across the country: A bipartisan agreement on gun control is possible.
Legislative leaders on Monday revealed proposals spurred by the Dec. 14 Newtown school shooting following weeks of bipartisan, closed-door negotiations. A vote is expected Wednesday in the General Assembly, where Democrats control both chambers, making passage all but assured.
"Democrats and Republicans were able to come to an agreement on a strong, comprehensive bill," said Senate President Donald E. Williams Jr., a Democrat from Brooklyn, who called the proposed legislation the strongest, most comprehensive bill in the country. "That is a message that should resound in 49 other states and in Washington, D.C. And the message is: We can get it done here and they should get it done in their respective states and nationally in Congress."
The massacre reignited the gun debate in the country and led to calls for increased gun control legislation on the federal and state levels. While some other states, including neighboring New York, have strengthened their gun laws, momentum has stalled in Congress, whose members were urged by President Barack Obama last week not to forget the shooting and to capitalize on the best chance in years to stem gun violence.
The Connecticut deal includes a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children and six educators dead. There are also new registration requirements for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a disappointment for some family members of Newtown victims who wanted an outright ban on the possession of all high-capacity magazines and traveled to the state Capitol on Monday to ask lawmakers for it.
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, creates a new "ammunition eligibility certificate," imposes immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales, and extends the state's assault weapons ban to 100 new types of firearms and requires that a weapon have only one of several features in order to be banned.
The newly banned weapons could no longer be bought or sold in Connecticut, and those legally owned already would have to be registered with the state, just like the high-capacity magazines.
Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, a Fairfield Republican whose district includes Newtown, said Republicans and Democrats have understood they needed to "rise above politics" when they decided to come up with a legislative response to the massacre.
"At the end of the day, I think it's a package that the majority of the people of Connecticut I know will be proud of," he said.
The bill also addresses mental health and school security measures, including gun restrictions for people who've been committed to mental health facilities and restoration of a state grant for school safety improvements.
After clearing the state legislature, the bill would be sent to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who has helped lead efforts to strengthen the state's gun laws but has not yet signed off on the proposed legislation. Earlier Monday, Malloy voiced support for the Newtown families and their desire to ban the possession of large-capacity magazines.
Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, said his group will live with the lawmakers' decision not to ban them as other states have done. He said the leaders made their decision based on what was politically feasible.
"We have to be satisfied. There are still other things that we want, we'll be back for in later sessions," he said. "But for now, it's a good thing."

Towards super health: humanistic psychology and self-actualisation
'Health' in this essay is not a medical condition free from illness but, rather, is deemed a natural state of being, where we are free from dis-at-ease. It is viewed as a striving towards self-actualisation, supported by humanistic notions of living life holistically (appreciative of all of us and everything around us), democratically (in dialogue and service with and to others), autonomously (with personal responsibility and self-support to the fore), so that life becomes experiential inquiry (action learning), informed by a commitment to personal growth.
With this in mind, we can have meaningful experiences in illness that illuminate us, grow through pain and experience healthy deaths! Note, Joseph Zinker (a renowned gestaltist) studied under Abraham Maslow and did his dissertation upon the self-actualisation of a dying person.

Fear: the most potent of fantasies
Fear is a helpful reminder of the territory we inhabit. Being unable to settle into a pattern, for instance my own academic style, writing this piece I'm fearful of not being able to do myself justice, letting myself down, and all those other little dramas that preoccupy my little ego-inflated self. And this interests me, for although I've experienced profound fear in my body, physiologically, and felt it emotionally when my identity was threatened, a part of me, beyond my ego I would suggest, even at these times was fearless and untouched.
So what is fear? I know what physiologists and psychotherapists usually say, something along the lines of an over-agitation of the organism, a reptilian response of the primitive sympathetic nervous system, an experiential state of risk where an individual feels catapulted beyond their social and psychic support systems. And this might well be true, but these signs are not so much causes as symptoms of fear.

Gestalt as a spiritual discipline
We believe we are an 'I' but, many of the mystery schools suggest we are a 'we' – parts of a communal soul peaking from out a spiritual-field rather than an individualised self. They suggest we are one with God and that our essence rests in an 'eternal now' beyond time and space. From this perspective we are seen as spiritual or soul consciousness having an Earth-bound physical-emotional-imagined-spiritual experience!
This is in stark contrast to much psychoanalytic literature where the 'self' is often used synonymously with 'ego', which equates with the 'I' that connects to individual identity and social reality; although Bruno Bettelheim (Bettelheim 1983) has argued that Freud's concept of 'Id' was widely misinterpreted, and is nearer to that of the soul than the primitive unconscious later suggested. But this said, most therapeutic approaches do little more than see the 'self' as a social construct.

The nature of Gestalt coaching and therapy: a personal analysis
This article describes a reflective inquiry into the respective natures of coaching and therapy through examination of my practice as a coach and therapist. To help capture and compare the influences at play a heuristic inquiry is used to illuminate what I experienced as different in both domains. Intervention styles are contrasted in each area and field analysis is performed to summarise findings.
Over the past twenty years I've spent a good deal of time applying Gestalt to personal development and professional education, facilitation training, organisational consultancy and team-building – areas more commonly associated with coaching. These days as many coaches and organisational consultants employ me as a shadow-consultant and supervisor as do therapists. But I had never seriously considered: 'How coaching and therapy differ?' or 'How might each demand a differing facilitative presence?' With these questions in mind I set out about exploring my performance coaching and therapy.

Group as teacher: the Gestalt informed peer-learning community as a transpersonal vehicle for organisational healing
After reviewing Gestalt's parity with Zen and Taoism, this paper illuminates the evolution of the Gestalt informed peer-learning community emergence from out of the tradition of Therapeutic Community Practice (Main 1946), before exploring the potential of the same to engender development and healing. Running parallel to this review of organisational renewal is a case study of change in a university setting and the fostering of a peer-learning community in an established charismatic organisation.
Within the body of the text four qualitative research methods are integrated, an analysis of organisational culture is performed through the application of a diagnostic tool derived from the Gestalt's contact-withdrawal cycle (Critchley & Casey 1989), community dynamics are assessed via field analysis (Lewin 1952; Parlett 1993), action research (Lewin 1947) is used to collaboratively inquire into the success the Gestalt informed peer-learning community through the voices of its participants, and a case study approach is employed to illuminate the day-to-day drama of facilitating cultural change within a resistive commercial setting.

The present isn't what it used to be: a phenomenological encounter with Joseph Zinker
Joseph Zinker trained with Fritz Perls and worked alongside Abraham Maslow. Besides being a leading exponent of Gestalt, he is a bridge to its earliest roots. I was first awakened to Gestalt through Zinker's seminal work 'Creative Process in Gestalt Therapy' (Zinker 1978), wherein I found an approach to Gestalt which - though clinically aware and gracefully therapeutic - was a celebration of life and an expression of being; an integration of the art as well as the science of psychotherapy.
In this light, in 2001, when casually asked if I would like to interview Joseph Zinker for the British Gestalt Journal, I leapt at the chance. I therefore unashamedly own my bias in this interview as one of enthusiasm, an intention to learn and enjoy, and to greedily squeeze as much from the experience as possible. In the event, I got much more than I bargained for.

Keeping psychotherapy trainees in their place: how training institutions can stifle love and breed compliance
This paper pays homage to a paper by Otto F. Kernberg entitled 'Thirty Ways to Destroy the Creativity of Psychoanalytic Candidates' (1996) which echoes much of what I have met as a consultant and practitioner-researcher. In this article I first review major critiques of psychotherapy we have received over the years, introduce principles I associate with healthy psychotherapy, list the ways shadow-driven behaviors can flower in training institutions that forsake healthy principles, before considering what the shadow of psychotherapy and its training may be 'selling' its clients and trainees at a subliminal and shadow level.
As a supervisor and community facilitator in my time to several training institutions, some humanistic others psychodynamic, I have ceased to be amazed by how many organizations simultaneously undermine the principles they espouse. Fermenting conditions that promote the exact opposite of their stated intentions, such bodies informally end up acting against everything they formally hold dear.

The British Gestalt Society conference: a reflective inquiry and ramble
I write this account in a 'continuum of awareness' mode, respectful of sensory and emotional impressions. I may use linear reasoning later when I've surfaced data to shape or have a message to give, but for now I will use free association to inquire into my experience of the BGS conference (20th - 22nd July 2007). I hope through this process to distil my impressions and illuminate a clearer gestalt.
An image comes to mind of a fisherman casting his hook into very deep waters – awareness is my bait, my mind the water, and the fish I'm after is illumination. When I want to understand something I write about it. So I don't know where I am going with this paper – let alone where I'll end up – but I'm up for the experiment.

Gestalt in coaching and consulting: a dialogue with holism and the soul
This paper examines the need for a holistic approach to coaching and consultancy, and suggests that a Gestalt-informed vision is essential if organisations are to prosper and to become fit environs for the human spirit. The model described here has already been practically applied to group facilitation, research, organisational consultancy and coaching (Barber 1996; 1999: 2001) within masters and doctorate programmes within the University of Surrey. The model presented is not meant to replace or compete with other approaches to coaching and consulting but to build upon and complement other influences.
Work has the potential to be a mundane pursuit for survival, a social addiction (Harrison 1995), a drama of our own making, a self-actualising or spiritually up-lifting experience. At different times it is all of these things. In this essay I will raise to awareness the various realities we flow between in the workplace, so that you might deepen your understanding and broaden the way you intervene within coaching and consultancy.

Gestalt: the origins
'Gestalt' is a German word meaning pattern or constellation. As an approach it encapsulates a wide ranging holistic vision focused upon direct perception of what a person is sensing, feeling and projecting out upon the world 'now'. In this way it focuses upon the wisdom inherent in direct experience.
Historically, Gestalt is associated with Frederick (Fritz) Perls, a renowned psychoanalyst who grew disenchanted with its interpretive and passive nature and sought to incorporate aspects of theatre and drama, humanism and oriental philosophy to psychotherapy. In the growing humanistic spirit of his time he sought to create a new vision of the human being, one determined by social responsibility and compassion for others. Creativity, art and healthy living were all seen by Perls as evolving out of immediate inner experiencing, emotional expression and a valuing of feeling.

Philosophical review of the nature of love: implications for therapists and therapy and the roots of knowledge
As psychotherapy is often seen as concerning itself with 'care' and the cultivation of a loving regard for the self and others through positive professional re-parenting, love is subject to philosophical inquiry in this paper. To help us appreciate how the philosophers cited here developed their philosophy, I have attempted to provide a thumbnail sketch of their location in their time, culture and their family of origin. While reading about each philosopher's life and work, consider what is the origin of their knowledge and how does this resonate with your own? At the close of each themed section I include critical reflections and questions to help you illuminate your own philosophy and practice.

Organisational health and burnout
Before I intervene in a client-system I consider not only client readiness but also organisational health, to gauge whether there is enough free energy to support the 'change' a client envisages. Health in this context is an ability to let go of the tried and tested, to deepen contact and risk a meeting with 'difference' – a prompt for freedom to learn.

Building a healthy foundation for organisational transformation: a reflective inquiry
Indeed, I also look to what I am bringing in terms of 'health' as a facilitator, for I believe to be effective I must embody and demonstrate relational and psychological 'health' if I am to stimulate the same in a client system. In this sense, as facilitators, we have a duty – I am suggesting, to maintain in ourselves optimum levels of health.

Emergent coaching: a Gestalt approach to mindful leadership
Gestalt seeks to include and to interrelate rather than to reduce things down to size. A consultant or coach working in a whole field Gestalt way attends to an individual and organisation's energetic field, their whole ecology. But to work in this way without a map to guide us is a difficult task. This paper provides a map to enable you to begin to consult and coach holistically.

A Gestalt approach to life as spiritual training: the message of John Scherer
This text is greatly influenced by a personal meeting with the author of 'Life Lessons at Work – 5 Questions that Change Everything', Dr John Scherer, at a coaching conference we presented at in Warsaw, Poland. My synopsis and adaption of his work is portrayed in the text below.
As suggested in this opening quote, "Everyone gets the experience; some get the lesson" (TS Eliot), John Scherer works to the premise that life is the lesson and everything you do is potentially a spiritual practice. Basically, work and daily life are taken to be our service, prayer and means for personal and spiritual development. Gestalt's encouragement for us to awake to the moment, live here and now and attend to our environment - our primary relationship, is extended in John's perspective into the workplace, which is seen as an opportunity for spiritual practice.

Glimpses from a distant workshop
For several years I have been teaching Gestalt in Romania. Initially, I taught a Gestalt in Organisations course for Gestalt psychotherapists, and later became regular staff on an integrative psychotherapy training programme.
The last day of a 3-day workshop, my co-facilitator, the founder and director of the programme I am teaching upon, arrives 20-minutes late for the third day running, after contracting with the group a 9:30am start. At this I feel conflicted; to stay silent or voice irritation? I judge her behaviour as self-centred rather than group-centred.

Transpersonal reflections on humanism and the nature of being human
As human beings we can sometimes appear as if animals in a concrete jungle fighting for survival; cogs in a great social machine endeavouring to run smoothly; enactors of emotional dramas which chain us to our pasts; creatures driven by ego-ridden inner desires to succeed; searchers after a higher sense of meaning and purpose. We have the potential within us to co-create all of these realities and to bring their particular influences to life.
Our physical, social, emotional, imagined and spiritual aspirations - and the multiple realities they emanate from - constantly conspire to shape our behaviour and destiny. Humanists and Gestaltists believe it is far better to raise these influences to awareness than to blindly act them out; they appreciate that human growth entails discomfort, moving beyond our comfort zone and living with vulnerability as a constant friend. Simply, we believe that our discomforts make us human and that constant change and learning is our natural state.

The organisation as its own consultant: raising awareness and fostering change
This article examines Gestalt informed consulting where raising awareness is the primary method and outcome. A co-operative inquiry into the unique offering of an internationally respected management training organisation frames this study. From this paper something of the nature of a Gestalt approach to organisational consultation emerges. This paper offers an alternative to managerial cause-and-effect and systems theory thinking, replacing these with a model of the organisation as an energetic living field and consultation as facilitating authentic dialogue.
Most consultancy maintains the status quo by suggesting that all will be well if physical, social or psychological blocks to performance are removed. Gestalt doesn't solve problems and doesn't seek to correct behaviour, but raises awareness to sensory, social, imaginative impression to illuminate what is happening to maintain current events. In its efforts to use participation and experimentation to expand responsiveness, Gestalt locates itself as a post-modern approach to consulting – but what does this imply?

Levels of learning: an example of a two hour Gestalt group in action
In the following case-study, drawn from a session I facilitated with 30 folk in a drop-in conference setting, I attempt to show from a facilitator's perspective what caught my attention and how I facilitated a newly formed group, similar in membership to the Saturday Group I offer monthly. I hope it will give you some idea of what you may meet in a Gestalt group run on personal development and/or therapeutic lines, where the agenda unfolds and participants flow in the direction of their current interests.
In the session described I was contracted to illuminate different levels of group influence, and drew from a model for this informed by 1) physical and sensory; 2) social and cultural; 3) emotional and biographical; 4) imaginative and projective; 5) intuitive and transpersonal influences.

Reality confrontation in facilitation
The narrative of this account is drawn from a diary record compiled at the time, interspersed with subsequent impressions and analysis under the heading of 'Reflections'. Within this study emphasis is given to in-depth description of field conditions, the consultant's psychological reactions within an alien culture, and the social dynamics recipients enacted when faced by 'change'.

Reflections between baby feeds
This is by nature a catch-up. A catching up upon a momentous year.
It's been an eventful year indeed. Twelve months ago I thought myself in the swan-song of my life, a retired academic with a thriving private practice which included facilitating training events overseas, notably in Romania, but without an intimate other, struggling to care for Anna, a companion of old who has had Alzheimer's for some years. I was destined, to all intents and purposes, for a lonely old age comforted by my work.
Today, I sit here in Surrey, a 24-hour live-in companion caring for Anna, Sinzi my wife of nearly one year by my side - the most intelligent woman I know, with a new-born child of a few weeks! Whatever happened?

Alpha leadership: a Gestalt aware leadership style
Some years ago three authors, Anna Deering, Robert Dilts and Julian Russell, wrote of a concept of leadership I felt was very Gestalt, entitled 'Alpha Leadership'. Sadly this did not make the impact I was hoping it would in the business community. Leadership, we should note, is a constant and re-occurring theme of the business community – but they only listen to that which confirms their own biases!
So much energy is spent on preparing leaders, and although an over-kill of courses promising preparation to leadership exist, leaders in all walks of life, business and politics, communities and professions, are nevertheless still seen to be failing and subject to constant attack. Leaders are not solely at fault, for impossible expectations are thrust upon them. Every archetype in the book and parental projection along with un-owned and dis-owned aspects of ourselves are foist upon them.

On love
I lie here dazed and gazing into space. But feeling it is here I belong like never before. A memory surfaces. Sinzi has for long proposed we collaborate to write a book on love! What a naff idea was my first reaction. But really, deep within, I didn't feel qualified nor ready, for what I termed 'love' in previous incarnations was a very different creature. I was busy proving myself worthy of myself and 'earning love', and her loving acceptance of me, my edgy complexity and baggage felt alien. I teased her to make the first step to putting pen to paper in service of love - between baby feeds! Bugger me she actually took the bait and rose to the challenge!
Reading her spontaneous offering I glimpse her position as a poet, plus her spiritual nature. Spontaneous, because unlike me she doesn't meditate upon or polish her writing word-smith-like to release a crafted form, she blurts it out and lets it stand, unmolested!

Oklahoma crime briefs, July 26
Crime briefs
Man arrested in shooting
A man has been arrested in the death of Traci Young, 39, of Lawton. Young was shot to death about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 1100 block of NW Andrews, police said. Her ex-husband, Bryan Pierce, 48, was arrested and jailed on a homicide complaint. The couple had been divorced since May, police report.
Inmate adds to sentence
An inmate charged with escaping from the Ottawa County jail was sentenced to 18 years in prison, court records show. Bryan Thomas Delaney, 44, of Seneca, Mo., was sentenced Tuesday in Ottawa County District Court. A jury convicted him July 1 of escaping from a penal institution and resisting arrest. Delaney also was ordered to serve a year in the Ottawa County jail on the resisting arrest conviction and was fined $10,000, court records show. Delaney was being held in the county jail in September 2012 in connection with a July 2012 theft at the Miami Holiday Inn. After complaining of chest pains, he was taken to Integris Baptist Regional Health Center in Miami where he escaped from police custody. He was found several hours later in a park.
Arrest made in robberies
A man suspected of robbing three banks in Oklahoma was arrested Wednesday night in Midwest City, the FBI reports. Dana Ray Sommers, 45, was arrested about 10 p.m. in the 8500 block of E Reno Avenue by members of the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force, according to an FBI news release. Sommers was sought in the June 27 robbery of MidFirst Bank, 2547 E 21, Tulsa. He also is suspected in two robberies in Oklahoma City — one June 18 at First Fidelity Bank, 700 SW 29, and the other July 16 at Bank of the West, 1600 SW 89, according to the news release.
Man charged with cruelty
A Norman man has been charged with animal cruelty in the deaths of two ducks. Alexander Joseph Clay, 22, was charged in Cleveland County District Court with one felony count of animal cruelty. Police say he drowned two ducks in muriatic acid. Clay apparently was angry at his mother when he killed the ducks, which were from a neighborhood man-made lake near his home, according to a court affidavit. Clay told his mother that it would have been her instead of the ducks if she had been home Sunday night when the ducks were killed, according to the affidavit. Police took Clay into custody after his mother called police. Capt. Tom Easley said the case was "disturbing." He described muriatic acid "as a very caustic chemical."

Proteus (in Greek mythology)
Proteus (prō´tēəs, –tyōōs), in Greek mythology, prophetic old man of the sea who tended the seals of Poseidon. He could change himself into any shape he pleased, but if he were nevertheless seized and held, he would foretell the future. The word protean is derived from his name.

Graduate Fellowship
Each year, competitive fellowships allow an interdisciplinary group of Duke University graduate students to deeply engage with the Institute and its work.
The Kenan Institute for Ethics selects 6-10 graduate student applications for the Graduate Student Fellowships each academic year. Students from any Duke graduate program may apply. Ideal candidates will be in the 3rd or 4th year of their PhD studies: finished all (or almost all) of their coursework requirements, but still developing new ideas and approaches for their dissertation research. The Fellows receive an award of $3000 that supplements their current funding, and they meet the second Monday of every month over lunch in a seminar with fellow graduate students and faculty. The monthly seminar does not typically require extensive preparation in advance. The aim of the on-going discussion among the fellows and Institute faculty members in the seminar is to enhance everyone's ability to contribute to debates involving ethical issues, and to do so in ways that engage scholars and others both within and outside of their own academic disciplines. Fellows will also be asked to participate in a one-day workshop early in the fall of their Fellowship year, and in two late-afternoon workshops – one late in fall and one late in the spring semester.
Alumni in good standing of the Fellowship program will have exclusive access to conference and research travel funds during their final years in the PhD program.
The only thing each cohort of Graduate Fellows has in common is that their dissertation research engages in interesting ways with significant normative issues. Some students – for example, from disciplines like philosophy, political theory, or theology – focus directly on fundamental ethical or political concepts and theories. Other fellows, from the sciences and social sciences, are trying to understand phenomena that are relevant to major, and often controversial, public policy debates. Still others are attempting to resolve debates in their areas of research that seem to be sustained by long-standing disagreements over both empirical claims and ethical or ideological commitments. Fellows are expected to be competent in either the empirical methods or normative theories of their home discipline.
The deadline to apply for the Graduate Fellowship at the Kenan Institute for Ethics for the 2015-2016 academic year is August 10, 2015. The recipients of the Fellowship will be notified by August 17, 2015. For further information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com with "Graduate Fellowship question" in the subject heading.

A few years ago I had a major leak from my toilet connect hose that goes from the toilet to the water pipe that comes out of the wall. The hose disconnected itself from the toilet and sprayed water all over the entire bathroom and filled the bathroom with about two inches of water before I shut off the water valve. I noticed that with the new flexible connect hoses, the part will suddenly have a major leak without much warning of a small leak initiating the problem. After several years of the part being replaced with a new flexible connect hose, the hose has started to turn green. Is this a sign that there is a possibility of another water leak looming in the future soon? Is there any indicators of a potential water leak that I should look out for from the flexible connect hose? I believe that the old metal pipes that connect the toilet to the water pipe on the wall may be more reliable. The metal type of pipe will usually leak more slowly before a major leak happens. Appreciate your response when you have a chance.
Those chrome plated tubes with the toilet fitting end are better because the flexible type rely on a rubber tube within that could burst at any time.

Okay here's a question for all you ( and me ) old farts who've slacked off training for a
number of years and then tried to recover fitness. I used to train quite hard doing hill
repeats, and sprints for training usually trying to hit my max heart rate of around 190 bpm.
I ended up switching jobs to a dot com and because of the hours, my training went to hell.
That was about 8 years ago. Now when I try to do the same workouts, I have difficulty
getting past 170 bpm. Question is, have any of you guys slacked off for a number of years
and been able to get back most if not all of you original fitness? Did your max heart go
down, up, or back to the same level? Did it even matter if your max was different if you
could ride just as fast as in the past.
I ask this because I'm really irked by losing my conditioning and wondering if aging is
against me.

Another month, another La Traviata release on video. This performance was culled from the 2014 Glyndebourne Festival and is in many ways the performance of La Traviata that you would get if you took all the major Traviata productions from around the globe and averaged them. The performance doesn't feature spectacular performances but since none of them are outright bad they round off to "extremely professional and competent."
Director Tom Cairns' production and Hildegard Bechtler's designs follow recent Traviata trends without adding any original touches: vaguely modern-dress, "timeless" non-descript sets, and rather cold person-regie between the opera's three protagonists. The curtain rises on a modern salon that nonetheless has a chandelier and some other trappings of elegance that would be more true to the demi-mondaine life than the modern high-class escort.

Lucas Macfadden delivers the first entry from his forthcoming Sound of The Police mix CD. He explains:
Different than the traditional mix CD using two turntables, this exclusive offering was created live using only one turntable, a mixer, a loop pedal and all original vinyl pressings. CUT thought when performing this mix live it would challenge the contemporary DJ as well as himself. The music chosen for this mix goes quite a bit deeper into the crate than his other contributions. Driven by his passion for Ethiopian, Colombian, Sudanese and Afro-Brazilian sounds, this mix also features a few classic tunes you might recognize. Sound Of The Police puts it all in context to help the listener remember that hip-hop culture is indeed rooted in Africa.
Originally, Sound Of The Police was only intended to be a one-time performance for Mochilla's "Timeless" concert series opening up for Ethiopia's own Mulatu Astatke in 2009. He recorded the practice session and after the success of that performance he thought it deserved to be heard and seen by as many people as possible. The live performance attempts to be a reenactment of the CD, but with cameras on the turntable and loop pedal so the audience understands exactly how the records are being manipulated. "You don't have to be into DJs to enjoy this show. It's like walking a sonic tight rope and the audience gets to see me fall if something goes wrong," CUT says. "The interesting parts are when I mess up and fix it. The audience goes crazy and appreciates what a difficult balancing act this actually is."
LISTEN: Cut Chemist – "Adidas To Addis" (MP3)

Loose the wacky thumbnail and I will be happy to repost it…
Hey– I'm w/ Cut's web team; would you mind just posting a direct link to the bandcamp page (http://cutchemist.bandcamp.com) instead of the download? And/or an embed to the player, instead of your own? We're offering the track for free anyway and would appreciate some feedback from fans and others. We've also made sure that any of the widgets don't break your current site design.
In any case, thanks for the post and I'll make sure to shout you out on Twitter! -r.
It is a direct link.
