The Brazen Head is a high-quality authentic Irish Restaurant and Pub, providing a unique Irish atmosphere and service to its clientele. All Brazen Heads are designed and operated under the guidelines of the "Irish Pub Concept" (IPC) a highly successful programme that has established 1,850 Irish restaurants and pubs around the globe. While they're all related, no two pubs look exactly alike.
In addition to the authenticity of the design, real Irish drink and food are also central to the concept. Incorporating all of these things, The Brazen Head is unlike anything yet seen in South Africa. Patrons who walk in will genuinely feel as if they have entered one of the many great restaurants and pubs of Ireland.
One of the great attractions of Ireland is the freshness and purity of its food: few countries enjoy such a high reputation for quality of home grown produce. Food is hence a very important part of Irish Pub life and likewise is important to The Brazen Head. The menu features hearty, wholesome, reasonably priced Irish and South African fare that appeals to the local palate.

- New-generation V8 and V6 engines from General Motors will be built with some of the most quality-enhancing techniques currently available.
- The Gen 5 small-block engine family will be available in nine GM models by 2015.
- The Tonawanda, New York plant assembling today's small-block engines built the storied original small-block V8 in 1955.
TONAWANDA, New York — At an historic engine assembly plant here that plays prominently in the ongoing story of General Motors' single most fabled engine, the company showed the media today a raft of new high-tech manufacturing techniques intended to make its new generation of "small block" V8 and V6 engines some of the highest-quality and most reliable high-volume engines it's ever produced.
The new "Gen 5" small-block engines, comprising 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s and a 4.3-liter V6, already are available in the just-coming-to-showrooms 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and in GM's redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GM Sierra full-size pickups. By 2015, the Gen 5 small-block family will be found in a total of nine new models — and can be built at the rate of up to 1,000 per day.
The GM Tonawanda Engine plant near Buffalo, New York, builds all variants of GM's new Gen 5 small-block engine family and is the only engine plant to build the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray's LT1 6.2-liter V8.
Maintaining ultra-high manufacturing tolerances is the key to building reliable engines in such quantity and GM has invested $400 million in high-tech innovations and worker training to assure the new small-block engines are assembled with the kind of precision that might not be inappropriate for a hand-built wristwatch.
One machine measures the position of components by checking more than 11,000 data points to a tolerance of 2.5 microns — about 1/40th the width of a hair. Another checks to see the finish of surfaces is consistent to less than a micron.
Cylinder heads for the Gen 5 small-block engines are partially built by a new machine that assembles 48 parts in 40 seconds. And an advanced system to detect potential leaks in the engine's direct-injection fueling hardware uses helium to flag leaks of as little as one part per billion.
Nor is the human element passed by at GM's Tonawanda engine plant. "We have invested 40,000 hours and $1.8 million in training the workforce to build these engines with uncompromising quality, and we've added some of the most flexible equipment ever used in the industry to make sure we can meet market demand," said plant manager Steve Finch.
GM's Tonawanda engine plant built its first engines in 1938 and has made engines ever since. The site is perhaps best known for building the first generation of the revered small-block V8 that began production in 1955 — today's new Gen 5 small-block architecture still retains a functional connection to that hallowed 1955 design — and by the end of this, Tonawanda plant's 75th year, it will have built in excess of 71 million engines.
Edmunds says: High-tech manufacturing means it's a pretty good gamble not much is going to go wrong with one of GM's latest small-block engines.

Zerg vs. Terran (StarCraft II) is in need of cleanup for the following reason(s):
No sources, noun usage, jargon, spelling.
Please refer to the talk page for further discussion.
Common Early GameEdit
15 hatch into 14 poolEdit
This is an economy-boosting opening where a second hatchery is built with 15 psi used, followed by a spawning pool. This leaves the base vulnerable to a bunker rush, which must be countered by drones. The queen may be used to counter hellion or banshee openings.
14 pool(/11pool) without 15 hatchEdit
This is a defensive opening against an expected heavy enemy push in the early game. A spawning pool is built with an extractor, instead of building a hatchery; expanding is delayed. The vespene gas allows the research of the zergling's Metabolic Boost, and use of banelings.
The zerglings and banelings may be used offensively. Banelings breach the defensive wall while the zerlgings exploit the gap. This works best if the wall is thin and is not backed up by bunkers.
Rare Early GameEdit
6 or 10 poolEdit
The zergling rush opening only works if the terran base is not walled.

Best Of :: People & Places
It sounds trite, especially since the analogy was repeated over and over during the construction process, but putting the Ellie Caulkins Opera House inside the historic Quigg Newton Auditorium really was like building a ship in a bottle. The auditorium -- a 1908 buff-colored brick building designed in a neoclassical style by Robert O. Willison -- had become run-down over the years and had long since lost its historic interior. In 2002, voters approved a bond initiative to pay for a renovation, and Denver's Semple Brown Design was hired to design it. Peter Lucking, the firm's principal in charge of the project, came up with a gorgeous, neo-modern interior that's all rich woods and shining glass and metal. Lucking made the best of an unimaginably difficult situation and gave this city a winner.
Governor Bill Owens says that when he's term-limited out of the governor's office in January 2007, he'll go into the "private sector," but it's not too late for him to reconsider and give just a few more years to public service. (No need to go the full Roy Romer route and become superintendent of Los Angeles schools -- although that job's about to be open, too.) At one point, Owens was touted as a potential presidential contender -- so there's no reason he shouldn't head the list as a vice-presidential contender. And the White House could use some fresh blood, particularly blood that hasn't been shed by a friend of the current vice president. At some point, Dick Cheney's got to go -- to hell, to the hospital, wherever -- and who better than Texas native Owens to keep George W. company through the rest of his term? Not only has the genial Owens proven his ability to debate almost anyone, the ACLU included, on the national stage, but he's an accomplished hunter who's never, ever shot anyone, confirms spokesman Dan Hopkins.
No matter where Marc Holtzman is next January -- and we're betting it won't be the governor's office -- the shoot-from-the-lip Republican challenger could use a smooth, personable frontman. And there's no one more personable than Dan Hopkins, current spokesman for Governor Bill Owens. When his boss leaves office, Hopkins will be sixty and eligible to retire after 24 years in the state system -- assuming PERA still exists, of course. But should the state retirement system go down the tubes, Holtzman could do a lot worse than latch onto Hopkins. Sorry, Dan.
At the Colorado Legislature, you often can't tell the players without a scorecard -- and fortunately, Rocky Mountain News reporter Lynn Bartels is there to keep score. When she's not breaking news (and there's been plenty this session), she's offering amusing, insightful play-by-play on the various wins and losses. Unlike Denver's sports-page stars, politicians play for keeps. But so does Bartels.
It took him long enough, but in the end, John Hickenlooper made the right decision. Disappointing those who wanted him to run for governor (and divide the Colorado Democratic Party in the process), he opted instead to complete a whole term (at least) as mayor of Denver, continuing to push the impressive, ambitious agenda that has already put him on the national political map. Today and tomorrow, the city; there's time enough for the world after that.

GTC has provided more than 200 Thuraya XT-Pro satellite phones, Thuraya IP satellite broadband terminals and RedPort Optimizers together with associated airtime and customer support services for Zambian presidential elections.
thuraya IP
Thuraya Launches Vehicular IP Broadband Terminal
Thuraya Telecommunications has launched its first dedicated vehicular IP broadband terminal. Designed and manufactured by Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes), the global leader in broadband satellite solutions, Thuraya IP Voyager is a cost-effective, high-quality satellite terminal designed for end-users in the government, oil and gas, media, and relief sectors. It is the only terminal available in the market capable of achieving streaming IP rates of up to 384 kbps as well as user-definable asymmetric streaming.Randy Roberts, Vice President of Innovation at Thuraya said: "Reliable connectivity and mobility are essential for users who need to communicate with their field teams and to file reports while on-the-move. The Thuraya IP Voyager broadens our Land IP portfolio and is part of our strategy to give end-users the power of choice when it comes to having high-quality, reliable connections at competitive prices, no matter where they are." Thuraya IP Voyager enables remote users to collaborate reliably and efficiently using video, data and VoIP services to achieve mission-critical tasks in areas that are not served by terrestrial communication networks. It is designed to connect at IP broadband speeds of up to 444 kbps while on-the-move and includes a built-in Wi-Fi access point as well as four Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports to connect multiple wired devices. Asher Faredi, Product Manager of Land Data at Thuraya said: "Many parts of the world remain unconnected by terrestrial networks. In developing the Thuraya IP Voyager, we listened closely to our customers to understand their needs and we were able to design a robust "comms-on-the-move" terminal that it is easy to install and facilitates real productivity in the field. There is an opportunity in the land vehicular terminal market, which is now being addressed with the Thuraya IP Voyager." GTC will have pricing available shortly for the Thuraya IP Voyager.
Spotlight on...Thuraya IP Satellite Broadband Terminal
Measuring just 158mm x 225mm x 50mm the Thuraya IP is a truly portable solution. With the ever-growing popularity of smartphones and tablets it is becoming increasingly more important to be able to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues no matter how remote the location. At Global Telesat Communications we see this reflected in the demand for the purchase and rental of satellite internet terminals. The good news it that communication via satellite is becoming more a cost effective and realistic option and the Thuraya IP Satellite Broadband Terminalis a great example of this. The Thuraya IP will work anywhere in the Thuraya coverage area.

Satellite Internet Access Using Satellite Terminals
If you're looking to purchase a satellite broadband terminal but don't know where to start, our blog is here to help. There are many factors to take into account when considering a satellite terminal. The main use of a satellite terminal is to allow connection to the internet at broadband speeds from virtually anywhere in the world. As most terminals are no larger than a laptop they can be transported easily and are therefore ideal for people requiring internet connectivity while travelling in remote locations. Some terminals offer voice capability through a telephone handset which means they can also be used to make satellite phone calls. There are two main networks to choose from when considering a satellite terminal; Inmarsat BGAN and Thuraya. Most terminals currently available work on the near-global Inmarsat BGAN network and offer data rates of between 384 kbps to 492 kbps. Some terminals, such as the Thrane & Thrane Explorer 700, allow simultaneous multi-user access to the internet but most users will find the Thrane & Thrane 300 or Wideye Sabre 1 BGAN terminals more than adequate as they are small, light and cheaper than the multi-user models. The Inmarsat BGAN network covers everywhere in the world from 72 degrees north to 72 degrees south. This means that the only place the network is not available is in the poles. If you are interested in purchasing a BGAN terminal please look at our Inmarsat BGAN terminal page to see the range of Inmarsat BGAN terminals currently available. Inmarsat The alternative network to consider is Thuraya. Thuraya offer just one terminal, the Thuraya IP, which is a small and light terminal capable of a data rate of up to 444 kbps. The Thuraya network covers two thirds of the globe consisting of most of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australasia. If you are interested in purchasing a Thuraya terminal please look at our Thuraya terminal page to see more information on the Thuraya IP terminal. If you're still not sure about the Inmarsat and Thuraya coverage why not have a look at our coverage page to double check that the Inmarsat or Thuraya terminal will work where you are going. Once you have chosen the satellite broadband terminal most suitable for your requirements you will need to buy airtime to use with the terminal. If you do not need global coverage and will be travelling within the Thuraya network coverage area you may find that some of their airtime options can work out better value for money than BGAN. Thuraya offer post-paid plans which include a set amount of data that you can transfer each month without incurring any additional charge. Once this amount is exceeded you will be charged at a standard rate for your usage. If you need to use your terminal outside the Thuraya network area then an Inmarsat BGAN terminal is the best option for you. Although this can work out a little bit more expensive in some situations, you will have the peace of mind knowing that, unlike Thuraya IP, the terminal offers near-global coverage. With BGAN you have the option of buying post-paid or pre-paid airtime. Post-paid airtime involves a monthly fee and a minimum contract term and is suitable for someone who is going to use an unknown amount of airtime over a long period of time. Prepaid airtime is more suitable for short term users who know in advance the rough amount of data they will be transferring. Once this data has been transferred you will not be able to use your terminal until you top it up with extra credit. Once you have made a decision on what you think best suits your needs then why not get in contact with us to ask any final questions.

If you suffer from GAS (gear acquisition syndrome, and yes, it's a real thing) one way to cut back on the expense and dwindling storage space caused by this all-too-common affliction is to look for multi-function products like the Brevitē camera bags. Yes, we're suggesting that you might want to acquire yet another piece of gear, but at least you'll know that these bags will meet a variety of needs.
The company, started by three brothers from Boston, just added two new bags to its collection, bringing the total to three. In addition to the Original, you'll also find a Rucksack and a Rolltop. All three have removable padded camera inserts that fit in any of the bags. And, of course, you can remove the inserts and pack for hiking or traveling.
Measuring 18 x 13 x 6 inches (external), the Rucksack and Rolltop can handle a full-frame DSLR with lens attached, along with a couple of other lenses, including one up to 70-200mm. For convenience, there are two access points and the bags also have a 15-inch laptop sleeve, a rain cover and assorted storage pockets.
It's the little details that speak loudest with these bags. For instance, those of us who tend to lose lens caps on a regular basis love the idea of having a lens cap buckle on the shoulder strap for 52mm, 58mm and 67mm lens caps. There's also a sunglass loop on the shoulder strap—another handy feature since misplacing sunglasses is probably even more common than the where did I put that lens cap? conundrum. Add a water bottle holder, compression straps for toting a tripod (or skateboard, or even skis) and memory card holders, and these bags pretty much cover it all.
The new bags are slated to ship in September for $165 (Rucksack) and $185 (Rolltop), but if you pre-order by August 31, you'll get a 20 percent discount. For the full low-down on these interesting (and highly functional) bags, visit the Brevitē site.

Groovy is an agile, dynamic language for the JVM which combines many features from languages like Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk and makes them available to Java developers using a Java-like syntax. It is designed to help get things done on the Java platform in a quicker, more concise, and fun way. It can be used as an alternative compiler to javac to generate standard Java bytecode to be used by any Java project or it can be used dynamically as an alternative language, such as for scripting Java objects, templating, or writing unit test cases.
The Guava tools are a set of Perl scripts for HTML pre-processing. You can create multi-page documents with contents tables, or use templates to give a consistent look to a set of pages. All output is passed through the C preprocessor, so you can use directives such as #include, #define and #if. There are also built-in macros for producing dates, cross references, etc.
HEBCI is a technique that allows a Web form handler to transparently detect the character set with which its data was encoded. By using carefully-chosen character references, the browser's encoding can be inferred. Thus, it is possible to guarantee that data is in a standard encoding without relying on (often unreliable) Web server/browser encoding interactions.
HTML Include solves the problem that the Hypertext Markup Language doesn't know a command for including other files into a source file. It uses specially styled comments to refer to other files, which will be inserted at this position. Unlike to the well known Server Side Include mechanism, this tool pre-processes the HTML files, resulting in files that have all referenced source files directly embedded. Thus it does not depend on any Web-server for correct appearance. As a bonus, HTML Include also writes the current date to the "last modification" line and brower meta, which you usually forget (or do not bother) to update.
HTML PLAIN is a "HTML Preprocessor Lacking An Interesting Name". Symbolic names instead of filenames allows files to be moved around without breaking links. Templates allow easy customization and changes of the layout. Tags can be redefined for a better structure of the document.

Non-verbal communication of compassion: measuring psychophysiologic effects
Calm, compassionate clinicians comfort others. To evaluate the direct psychophysiologic benefits of non-verbal communication of compassion (NVCC), it is important to minimize the effect of subjects' expectation. This preliminary study was designed to a) test the feasibility of two strategies for maintaining subject blinding to non-verbal communication of compassion (NVCC), and b) determine whether blinded subjects would experience psychophysiologic effects from NVCC.
Subjects were healthy volunteers who were told the study was evaluating the effect of time and touch on the autonomic nervous system. The practitioner had more than 10 years' experience with loving-kindness meditation (LKM), a form of NVCC. Subjects completed 10-point visual analog scales (VAS) for stress, relaxation, and peacefulness before and after LKM. To assess physiologic effects, practitioners and subjects wore cardiorespiratory monitors to assess respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) throughout the 4 10-minute study periods: Baseline (both practitioner and subjects read neutral material); non-tactile-LKM (subjects read while the practitioner practiced LKM while pretending to read); tactile-LKM (subjects rested while the practitioner practiced LKM while lightly touching the subject on arms, shoulders, hands, feet, and legs); Post-Intervention Rest (subjects rested; the practitioner read). To assess blinding, subjects were asked after the interventions what the practitioner was doing during each period (reading, touch, or something else).
Subjects' mean age was 43.6 years; all were women. Blinding was maintained and the practitioner was able to maintain meditation for both tactile and non-tactile LKM interventions as reflected in significantly reduced RR. Despite blinding, subjects' VAS scores improved from baseline to post-intervention for stress (5.5 vs. 2.2), relaxation (3.8 vs. 8.8) and peacefulness (3.8 vs. 9.0, P < 0.05 for all comparisons). Subjects also had significant reductions in RR (P < 0.0001) and improved HRV (P < 0.05) with both tactile and non-tactile LKM.
It is possible to test the effects of LKM with tactile and non-tactile blinding strategies; even with blinding in this small preliminary study, subjects reported significant improvements in well-being which were reflected in objective physiologic measures of autonomic activity. Extending compassion is not only good care; it may also be good medicine.
Trial registration number
US National ClinicalTrials.gov registration number, NCT01428674
Compassionate communication is the cornerstone of clinical care. Although most research has focused on outcomes of verbal communication, there is little research on non-verbal communication, which experts estimate is the predominant form of communication
Studies in this area are challenging because subjects' expectations can strongly influence their response to an intervention
We wished to test a form of NVCC associated with a calm face and lower respiratory rate. One type of mental activity that generally produces these effects in the practitioner is meditation
Therefore, to lay the groundwork for definitive clinical trials, we performed a preliminary study to answer questions about the feasibility of evaluating the psychophysiologic impact of NVCC on subjects blind to the intervention. Specifically, we wished to know:
Were two different strategies for blinding subjects to LKM intervention feasible? That is, would subjects remain blind and would the LKM provider be able to maintain LKM under these experimental conditions (non-tactile and tactile strategies)?
Would blind exposure to LKM be associated with any measurable changes subjects' psycho-emotional state and/or autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity?
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of two different strategies for NVCC of compassion using LKM meditation in subjects blind to the study interventions. Because it was a preliminary feasibility study, we did not expect to find statistically significant differences, but we wished to observe changes in relaxation, peacefulness, stress, respiratory rate (RR), and vagal tone, reflected in increased heart rate variability (HRV), particularly High Frequency (HF) power in the power spectral analysis of HRV in order to calculate sample sizes for definitive studies.
To address these questions, we recruited a convenience sample of adult volunteers at Wake Forest Baptist Health's Center for Integrative Medicine over 2 months prior to a grant deadline to obtain feasibility data for the proposal. Subjects were eligible if they were healthy and not taking medication for asthma, hypertension, or diabetes, or prophylactic medications, such as beta blockers for migraine headaches. Subjects were told the project was evaluating the effect of time, touch, and attention on autonomic nervous system (ANS) function, and were asked to remain quiet throughout the study period to avoid affecting ANS activity. Electronic devices such as cellular telephones and pagers were turned off during the study period to avoid disruptions. For this study, subjects served as their own control with baseline and follow-up periods compared with two NVCC periods.
Because previous studies have found differences between novice and experienced practitioners
After informed consent, subjects completed brief questionnaires on demographics and 10 point self-report visual analog scales (VAS) for stress, relaxation, and peacefulness. After the interventions and the post-intervention rest period, subjects completed the same VAS.
After completing the baseline VAS, the subject and practitioner put on BioPac® Bioharness belts to collect continuous autonomic data for the 40 minute study. The Bioharness is an FDA-approved continuous ambulatory monitoring system which collects data on pulmonary, cardiac, and skin temperature measures with a sample rate set at 250 Hz. It measures rib cage excursions for respiratory rate (RR) and an ECG to measure interbeat intervals to calculate heart rate variability (HRV); a built in thermometer measures skin temperature on the chest. The lightweight device is worn under normal clothing around the chest. It is machine washable, comfortable, and includes patented software which decrypts and processes the recorded data, and allows transformations of the data for export into statistical software.
Each subject underwent a standard study sequence consisting of four consecutive periods of 10 minutes each at one study visit: Baseline; Non-tactile LKM; Tactile-LKM; and Rest. (see Figure
Figure 1
Study Visit
Study Visit. LKM- Lovingkindness meditation VAS- visual analog scales for stress, relaxation, peacefulness NVCC - Non-verbal communication of compassion.
During the Baseline control period, subject and practitioner sat in the same room approximately 8 feet apart and read quietly from an emotionally neutral textbook (
To assess blinding, at the end of the forty minute study period, the experimenter asked each subject open ended questions about what occurred during each study period. For example, what were you doing during the first reading period? What was the practitioner doing during the first reading period? What were you doing during the second reading period? What was the practitioner doing during the second reading period? What were you doing when the practitioner was touching you? What was the practitioner doing when she was touching you? What were you doing during the final rest period? What was the practitioner doing during the final rest period?
Respiratory rate (RR) was selected as the primary outcome for ANS function because it is easily observed and readily measured; it is sensitive to affective states and meditation
For heart rate variability (HRV) analyses, two parameters of interest were a) Total Power which reflects overall HRV, and activity in the high frequency (HF) power band of the power spectrum analysis, which reflects vagal tone in short-term recordings. BioPac® -acquired files were re-sampled at rate of 1 HZ, and the interbeat intervals (IBI) between successive RR-peaks files were analyzed using Nevrokard® - HRV software (Medistar, Ljubljana, Slovenia) using standard algorithms. Outliers were identified as all interbeat intervals (IBIs) demonstrating a 30% difference from the mean of the previous four samples, and were removed from the data set. Power spectral densities for IBI were computed by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), integrated over the standard frequency range (VLF; < 0.04 Hz), (LF; 0.04-0.15 Hz) and (HF; 0.15-0.4 Hz), and a Hanning window was applied using standard methods
As a secondary question, we explored practitioner-subject correlation in RR.
Analyses focused on descriptive statistics and impact on RR and VAS scales using SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary). Quantitative variables were summarized by means and standard deviations. The secondary outcome measures of subjects' HR, HRV, and skin temperature (Temp) were analyzed using these same methods. In addition to these models where each outcome is taken as a single value, we used a mixed models approach to allow for the repeated assessments of outcomes in each subject that occur during the study. In this model, participants are treated as random effects and overall dose and delivery estimates were calculated accounting for the repeated measurements. This approach allowed us to detect smaller differences than the ANCOVA models described above since they provide a more precise estimate of the outcome effects. All tests were two-sided with a type 1 error rate of 5%.
This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Wake Forest School of Medicine.
Because the study was designed primarily as a feasibility trial, we aimed for complete data collection on a convenience sample of 5 subjects; enrollment was closed when six subjects were recruited to provide an extra subject as back-up for missing data. All subjects were women; the mean age was 43.6 ± 10.8 years. None had any known cardiopulmonary conditions and none were taking beta-blocking medications.
Blinding was maintained, i.e., all subjects reported that the practitioner was reading during baseline, reading during the non-tactile LKM and touching during the tactile LKM. One subject reported that she thought the practitioner "might be meditating" (during non-tactile LKM) because "the room got really quiet", but when she looked, the practitioner was turning a page of the book, so "she must be really reading". The practitioner maintained a meditative state during both tactile and non-tactile LKM interventions as reflected by her verbal report and in changes in RR. On average, the practitioner's RR fell from 15.9 breaths per minute (bpm) at baseline to 6.5 bpm during non-tactile LKM and 8.2 bpm during tactile LKM, returning to 13.7 bpm during the post-intervention rest (P < 0.01 for both LKMs vs. baseline and rest).

Non-tactile NVCC - the practitioner practiced loving-kindness meditation while pretending to read a book
Tactile NVCC - the practitioner practiced loving-kindness meditation while touching the subject on the hands, arms, shoulders, knees, and hips "to test the effects on the autonomic nervous system"
In the analysis exploring the correlation between practitioner and subjects' respiratory rates, there was a significant correlation during non-tactile LKM (r = 0.55, P < 0.001). As the practitioner began to meditate, her RR fell rapidly, reaching the nadir of < 6 bpm at 2.5 minutes, which was generally maintained until the end of non-tactile LKM. Subjects' RR also fell over the first 2.5 minutes, after which it stayed between 10 and 12 bpm for the remainder of the period and remained lower than baseline during tactile LKM. (Figure

Although compassion is a cornerstone of clinical care, there is a gap in research exploring the feasibility of measuring its direct psychophysiologic impact on subjects blind to the practitioner's intention. This preliminary study demonstrates that it is feasible to conduct blinded studies of the interpersonal effects of one form of NVCC, lovingkindness meditation (LKM) and provides preliminary evidence of significant psychophysiologic effects: increased relaxation, peacefulness, and heart rate variability, and decreased stress and respiratory rate.
The practitioner's decrease in RR during LKM practice in this study is consistent with earlier studies showing significant decreases in RR with meditation
Modern cultures place a premium on verbal communication. Thus, it is challenging to design experimental intervention strategies in which subject and practitioner are silently together over 40 minutes without arousing discomfort. We tested two strategies for blinding subjects to the intervention (reading and light touch) because each has pros and cons and may be better suited for clinical studies in different settings (e.g., psychotherapy vs. massage therapy). Practitioner "reading" is a useful blinding strategy because it is a common activity and generally results in a comfortable silence when two people are reading together; however, it is possible that subjects may be so absorbed in reading that they pay little attention to the practitioner's non-verbal cues, limiting their effects. It may also be challenging for less experienced practitioners to keep eyes open and focused on a page, turning pages from time to time while engaged in LKM, but it is feasible with practice. The light touch strategy allows the subject closer, undistracted observation of the practitioner, but may be uncomfortable outside of an established clinical context or relationship. The suggestion that the purpose of touch is to elicit autonomic activity is different from the suggestion that the purpose of touch is to comfort or heal, and suggestions themselves may have potent psychophysiologic effects
What conceptual model or theory might explain the expected benefits of NVCC? The theory of
Because this study was focused primarily on feasibility, it had a small convenience sample of healthy women in a fixed sequence design. Given the small sample size and low statistical power, we were surprised to find statistically significant effects on both self-reported psychological outcomes and objective physiologic measures. Although these results are intriguing, future studies should include a larger number of more diverse subjects in a randomized intervention order. Because empathy has been linked to MNS responses
This study explored only RR signals although NVCC may include changes in facial expression, operating through different MNS pathways. Future studies may focus on facial expressions as cues for NVCC
The "dose" of optimal exposure to NVCC is unknown. This study used two 10 minute 'doses' of exposure to LKM, and although we noted an onset of effect on RR within that time, future studies should compare the impact of different durations LKM intervention.
The timing and duration of effects are unknown. We asked subjects to rate stress, relaxation, and peacefulness after both LKM interventions (20 minutes) and the post-intervention rest period (10 minutes) with simple VAS scales rather than standardized psychological assessment tools. Since RR tended to return to baseline levels by the end of the post-intervention period, it may be preferable to ask subjects to complete self-report measures immediately after each intervention and to use standardized measures. If more than one type of LKM is provided, subjects should receive them in random order to minimize sequence effects, and there should be separate measurements and a "wash out" period between interventions to identify the unique effect of each intervention.
This study used an experienced LKM practitioner, and it is unclear whether the same effects would be found with practitioners who had brief training or little experience. Most studies comparing long-term with novice meditation practitioners have noted differences
This study intentionally omitted any positive suggestion about the impact of NVCC on subjects. It is of clinical importance to understand how the benefits observed here with blind intervention could be augmented by positive suggestions.
For this study, the intervention used sham activities (reading and light touch), but did not require the practitioner to actually engage in another productive activity (e.g., checking a pulse, taking a history) during LKM. It would be worthwhile to determine the feasibility and impact of simultaneously engaging in LKM and another meaningful clinical activity. It would also be worthwhile to understand the effects of clinicians engaging in LKM prior to or between clinical activities on patients' sense of well-being and autonomic activity.
Temperature increases were noted throughout all four study periods, which could be consistent with relaxation or simply with the device equilibrating from room temperature to body temperature over time
Although the hypothesized mechanism for the effects of NVC observed in this study is the mirror neuron system, this study did not directly measure CNS activity, but focused instead on feasibility, self-report, and autonomic measures. Now that feasibility has been established and the data suggest psychophysiologic effects, it would be worthwhile to further test the mirror neuron theory of NVCC through imaging studies.
It is feasible to study the interpersonal effects of non-verbal compassionate communication on the autonomic nervous system and psycho-emotional state while maintaining subject blinding to the intervention using strategies appropriate for clinical situations including either tactile (e.g., massage) or non-tactile (e.g., psychotherapy) interactions. Furthermore, despite the small sample size in this preliminary study, the intervention (lovingkindness meditation with an experienced practitioner) was associated with significant changes in subjects' ANS as well as significant increases in relaxation and peacefulness even though subjects remained blind to the nature of the intervention. Future projects evaluating the impact of clinician or parent training can build on this work to explore the underlying mechanism and the clinical consequences of the interpersonal effects of communicating compassion.

Contract negotiations for visiting medical doctors have been delayed after months of disputes and accusations, with parties now scheduled for arbitration in early April.
There are as many as 220 specialist visiting medical officers in Canberra public hospitals with negotiations stalling due to disagreements about negotiation representatives and arbitrators.
Visiting medical officers have been used in various areas of speciality in the ACT from surgery, dermatology, dentistry and paediatrics to anaesthesia, urology and ophthalmology.
Scheduled meetings between the two sides have been cancelled since August with the government insisting the ACT Visiting Medical Officers Association recognise representatives before meeting.
VMOA president Dr Peter Hughes has routinely accused ACT Health of making unreasonable demands, cancelling meetings and assuming negotiation powers it does not have.
He also accused ACT Health director-general Nicole Feely of walking out on a recent meeting, leaving many matters undiscussed.
An ACT Health spokesman said the department remained confident a "fair and reasonable outcome" could be achieved through arbitration.
The spokesman said arbitration had not been postponed, but was subject to the availability of parties and arbitrator Greg Smith, a former deputy president of the Fair Work Commission.
"Greg Smith was appointed arbitrator by the minister for health after the parties could not agree on an arbitrator," Dr Hughes said.
"Because of the messed-up negotiations, the date for the arbitration hearings has been postponed from early February to early April."
When a negotiation meeting was cancelled in August, Ms Feely said the VMOA needed to declare it would not challenge the negotiation agents and allow them to commence in good faith.
According to ACT Health, a member of the VMOA negotiation team has previously questioned the validity of negotiating agents making the demand necessary.
Department officials have previously accused the association of being unwilling to take part in negotiations.
In September, the association refused to recognise Mr Smith as an approved arbitrator, despite being supported by the ACT Australian Medical Association.
Contract negotiations for visiting medical officers had been complicated in recent years with neither side able to agree with some terms and conditions.
"The first VMO contracts were drawn up in 1976 and they've been negotiated every three years since then, sometimes by agreement and sometimes through arbitration," Dr Hughes said.

Mary Wondrausch
Mary Wondrausch OBE (17 December 1923 – 26 December 2016)[1] was an English artist, potter, historian and writer, born in Chelsea.[2] She trained as a potter at Farnham School of Art, latterly West Surrey College of Art and Design.
She was an honorary fellow of the Craft Potters' Association and has work in the V&A Museum collection. She was awarded the OBE for services to the Arts in 2000.[3] Her primary interest is continental peasant art. Originally training as a watercolor artist, she later became interested in ceramics and opened her own pottery workshop in 1974. Inspired by 17th-century English slipware and Eastern European designs, such influences have informed her own work. She is known for lettering and exuberant use of colour.[citation needed]
Her Brickfields pottery is in Compton, near Guildford, Surrey.[4]
Portrait of Wondrausch[edit]
Mary Wondrausch agreed to sit for Jon Edgar for a portrait work using clay quarried from the foundations of her house at Brickfields. This forms part of the Compton Triptych[5] unveiled at the Human Clay exhibition, University of Surrey in November 2011.

On Monday night, the North Judson Town Board approved a special event permit submitted by the Illiana Historical Association. The members in the organization hope to participate in a World War II reenactment event on Friday, June 3rd through Sunday, June 5th, on the old railroad bed property, east of Luken Street, north of the new Firehouse. More details of the event will be available as the event draws closer.
The Board also discussed the disposal of an old police car. The Board is going to offer the car to the SCILL Center for the students' use. The vehicle has mechanical issues and can not be driven on the road. The SCILL Center students could use the car for class lab time or for other educational purposes. If the SCILL Center does not accept the donation, the Board will scrap the car. The Board will not be selling the car.
