Love and Happiness for Stress Relief
Love and Happiness for Stress Relief
Love and Happiness for Stress Relief
Love and happiness are very much intertwined with how we handle the big and little tensions we must deal with. It is difficult to be happy and stressed at the same time. Healthy relationships help us stay healthier physically and emotionally. Even though, people aggravate us, and relationships cause us stress, there is scientific evidence that proves human connections helps reduce our anxiety levels.
Love, happiness and stress relief are very much inter-related.
Relationships assist us in coping with situations better than if we had to deal with them alone. Having somone to turn to for advice and emotional support, help counteract the negative effects of stress. It is not magic. There are biological naturally producing chemicals that the brain releases when we have contact with, or even think about someone we care about. It is an evolutionary product of being social creatures who prefer companionship and contact with others to being alone. Love and happiness stimulate chemicals that lower our stress levels. These bonds of love extend beyond humans, to our pets too.
Wives in Happy Marriages Feel Less Stress While Holding Hands With Husband
When a person is stressed and their hand is held by their mate, their stress levels go down.
In a study of 16 couples who were happily married, done at the University of Virginia, James Coan, PhD, researchers found that wives reacted calmer to electric shocks when they were holding their husband's hands, than when they were holding a stranger's hand or no one's hand. The psychologists concluded that there are benefits of social connection and having close emotional relationships are important to our well being.
The happier the marriage, the stronger the positive effect of holding hands seemed to have on the wives' brain waves. The research only involved the effects on women, not on the husbands, nor did they do research on the effect of couples who were not in happy marriages.
Human Contact Produce Chemicals that Relax Us
Feeling Connected Helps Us Feel Calm
Researchers at the University of Zurich found that oxytocin raises our happiness level and reduces coritsol, which is a stress homone. Beate Ditzen led the team of researchers who found found that oxytocin improved the communication levels between couples when they were given synthetic oxytocin and they had much lower stress hormones.
Only mammals have oxytocin and it is released even by thinking about someone you love. Studies have shown that social media can stimulate this hormone also. The greatest release of oxytocin comes from touch. Hugging helps people feel more connected, it nurtures relationships, helps you feel happier, and reduces stress. It takes a mere 20 seconds of contact hugging to gain a spike in oxytocin levels.
Feeling calm and connected reduces stress levels, whether it is with a lover, a pet, a child, any form of affection will raise your oxytocin levels.
Hearing kind words from your mother, petting your cat or dog, hugging your child, thinking about your spouse all raise your oxytocin levels that send out hormones to relax you. Oxytocin is naturally produced by the hypothalmus in the brain. When released, it circulates through the blood stream and in the brain to regulate the arousal level in our nervous system. Oxytocin has immediate results to reverse the body's response when stressed.
Pets - Love and Happiness for Stress Relief
Oxytocin and Your Pets
There are mental health benefits from playing with and petting your dog and cat and even goldfish. Studies have shown that there are benefits to to the bonds we humans make with animals. Pet owners are less likely to be depressed, than people who don't have pets. People who have pets have lower blood pressure when stressed than people who don't have pets. Pets can raise our levels of dopamine and serotonin, hormones that calm and relax us. Even watching fish in a fish tank reduces pulse rate and muscle tension.
Touching a pet releases oxytocin and calms and soothes us when we are going through stress. Pets make us feel less lonely and get us up and moving to walk and play with them. Exercise makes our mood better. Also when we take care of a pet, we won't focus as much on our issues. Pet owners talk to their pets, and it helps them work out their problems.

Hugging reduces Stress
Only Mammals Have Oxytocin
When we feel secure and connected, our brain releases a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is produced when people hug, caress, hold hands, when a woman breast feeds, during orgasms, when partner dancing, when getting a massage, and when praying. Oxytocin is associated with the many social behaviors we human beings do. Oxytocin helps us create trusts and bonds, to be magnimous, have compassion, and be able to forgive, it is what encourages our generosity, and gives us feelings of relaxation and feeling content. Oxytocin is also released when we pet our dogs and cats. The hypothalmus is the area of the brain that secretes stress hormones.
Using Oxytocin to Relieve Stress
When you feel stressed, stop, take a deep slow breath, place your hand on your heart, breathe slowly, think of a time when you felt safe, love, taken care of, cherished.
Let your whole body feel this sense, this memory, and as you settle into this feeling, and you will start to feel more relaxed.
When we are stressed and feeling anxious, we feel a deep sense of lonliness. When we inject a sense of connection, we feel a sense of belonging. Oxytocin kicks in undoes the stress.
Even if there is something you want to discuss with your mate, a long hug before the talk may provide enough oxytocin to relax you both so you can get through the discussion. A man named Professor Phil Shaver at the University of California, Davis, wrote a report from research he conducted and discovered that people's brains showed less reactivity to an event the person found disturbing when they thought of someone they loved, someone they felt safe with. He consistently found that oxytocin was released from this memory, and they reacted with a lower stress response consistently.
Human Contact is Very Important to Relieve Stress
Happiness and Stress
Helping yourself to be happier is important to relieve stress. Think about what you need to feel calmer, to get comfort, and to feel better emotionally. Articulate your needs to your mate, and find healthy ways to cope and manage your stress.
Stress is not always the issue we need to pay attention to. It is how you deal with stress, the messages you tell yourself, the attitude and perspective you take.
Having an optimistic outlook helps you to feel more resilient, more positive, and happier overall. Positive thinking helps spur creativity and improves our performance. Things that are needed to figure out how to get out of stressful situations. Optimism is a learned way of thinking and can significantly contribute to a person's happiness level, thereby helping to alleviate stress.
Strategize What You Want to Accomplish and Minimize Your Stress
Robert Epstein, a psychologist and author, researched 3,000 volunteers across 30 countries, including the United States.
The participants responded to an online questionnaire, and found that 25% of our happiness is contingent on how we manage our stress. The results showed that when people pre-think about their day, their week, their year, they tended to strategize more about what they wanted to accomplish.
This helped minimize their stress provided for greater happiness, as they saw themselves accomplish their desires. His study showed that people are not good at managing their stress, but can help themselves prevent stress through organizing and pre-thinking a strategy of what they want for themselves.
It is Not the Stress, It is How We Deal With the Stress
Relationships are important because, by nature we are social creatures. We are mostly motivated by the relationships we have or want to have. Through relationships, we gain much emotionally and by feeling cared for, valued, loved and having a meaningful connection with another person, our happiness levels are raised. Emotional intimacy helps to strengthen the connection between our mind and body. Love helps us feel more secure. When we feel more secure, we will be less stressed.
Because we are social beings, it is in our nature to need other people. Being around others helps us thrive, and having close relationships helps us to be happy. When we are around people who make us feel secure, we get a sense that our basic survival needs are taken care of, and we can reserve our other resources to protect us against rough and stressful times. Studies have shown that people are happiest when they are in the company of other people. Feeling happy, helps us feel less stressed. Love and happiness for stress relief is an all natural remedy.
Hugs - Love and Happiness for Stress Relief
Do You Get a 20 second Hug at Least Once a Day
How true. My husband has been my best cure for stress. It always helps to have someone who understands or who is able to view problems from different perspective to talk to when one is stressed out.
Love and happiness are definitely the greatest cure for stress! When I'm stressed the best thing anyone can do for me is to just be there - my fiance is the greatest stress reliever and my mum definitely comes in close second!
I strongly believe in the healing powers of physical affection! I suffer from chronic pain, and petting my dog or cuddling with my partner is sometimes the best medicine. Even a hug from a friend can turn your day around.
Great suggestions! Bev and I are big huggers, and we hold hands all the time, even in public. :) Loved this hub, Rhonda!

Tuesday:Weekly Book Review—Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy by Jane O'Connor
Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy by Jane O'Connor
We are all suffering from cabin fever, so we decided to go on an outing, while walking through Barnes and Noble a book caught my eye. I had seen the author on Martha Stewart a couple months ago. It was so bright and glittery so I had to take it down for us to see!
The illustrations are adorable, such wonderful detail, and once again the sparkle and glitter! What little girl could not love that? (Don't worry not the kind of glitter that will decorate your home for months)
Now the real test, if it could hold my daughters attention. For her age, each page cannot contain to much of a story, and the pictures need to be enough to keep her interested.
The story was simple, not to much on each page, the vocabulary was awesome, I was ecstatic (that's a fancy word for one of a kind). My daughter even took a long time to look at each illustration after I was done reading.
The story is about Nancy, a fancy little girl who would like a puppy. She talks her less fancy family, who wants a boring dog into babysitting her neighbor's papillon. She realizes that this small puppy is not right for her, but after a visit to the animal shelter her and her family find the right dog for them.
Your child will learn a handful of new words to help broaden their vocabulary, and probably end with wanting you to get them a dog and help put on their tutu!
If you have a dog loving, tutu wearing, girl in your home, this is most definitely the book for her!

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause
of blindness in American adults.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in American adults. High blood sugar levels associated with diabetes mellitus can damage blood vessels in the retina—the nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and helps send images to the brain. This damage is called diabetic retinopathy. In some people with diabetic retinopathy, blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. In other people, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. Diabetic retinopathy usually affects both eyes. People often don't notice changes in their vision in the disease's early stages. But as it progresses, diabetic retinopathy usually causes vision loss that in many cases cannot be reversed.
If you have diabetic eye disease, you may need an eye exam more often. People with proliferative retinopathy can reduce their risk of blindness by 95 percent with timely treatment and appropriate follow-up care.
Photo Credit: National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health
Diabetic Retinopathy has four stages:
- Mild Nonproliferative Retinopathy: At this earliest stage, microaneurysms occur. They are small areas of balloon-like swelling in the retina's tiny blood vessels.
- Moderate Nonproliferative Retinopathy: As the disease progresses, some blood vessels that nourish the retina are blocked. This closing of the capillaries is referred to as macular ischemia.
- Severe Nonproliferative Retinopathy: Many more blood vessels are blocked, depriving several areas of the retina of their blood supply. These areas of the retina send signals to the body to grow new blood vessels for nourishment.
- Proliferative Retinopathy: At this advanced stage, the signals sent by the retina for nourishment trigger the growth of new blood vessels. These new blood vessels are abnormal and fragile. They grow along the retina and the surface of the clear vitreous gel that fills the inside of the eye. By themselves, these blood vessels do not cause symptoms or vision loss. However, they have thin, fragile walls. If they leak blood, severe vision loss and even blindness can result.
**Macular edema, a condition caused by fluid leaking into the center of the macula, can occur at any stage of diabetic retinopathy. About half of people with advanced, or proliferative, retinopathy also have macular edema, which causes blurry vision.
Who is at risk?
All people with diabetes--both type 1 and type 2—are at risk for diabetic eye disease. That's why everyone with diabetes should get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. The longer people have diabetes, the more likely they are to get diabetic retinopathy. Between 40 and 45 percent of Americans diagnosed with diabetes are at some stage of diabetic retinopathy.
During pregnancy, diabetic retinopathy may be a problem for women with diabetes. To protect vision, every pregnant woman with diabetes should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam as soon as possible. Your doctor may recommend additional exams during your pregnancy.

This month's T-SQL Tuesday is brought to us by Jason Brimhall. We are writing about times someone took chances with the databases that the DBAs felt were not worth it. I am going to talk about taking chances with your backups, our #1 job as DBAs is to have backups.
Let's start with the scenario. All full backups of over 50 servers are landing to central location on the SAN. Prior to this move they were all landing locally to the server until enough eyebrows were raised to get a central location. So in theory we had made progress, at least they weren't local. They are spaced out so they don't all hit at the same time. our setup is taking a full backup everyday and deleting any backups over 23 hours. So this would leave us one backup on disk. Due to the double space required to store to backups our director declared we had to the delete yesterday's backup before taking a new backup because in theory we back the drive up to tape and can have it brought back in from our offsite storage location. My coworker and I protested to our manager that this was really bad idea. He talked to his boss, the director, the director would not move from the stance in order to save 100 GBs of SAN space. This dialogue went back and forth for a few months before our boss said "just do what the director wants." You edit 50 jobs to loop through and delete any *.bak files in the backup folders.
Fast forward a year and at 3:00 AM the computer room calls because the backups for a system are failing. You log in and discover that the msdb database (the database that would have alerted you to corruption is corrupted, running over 100 jobs, and handling transactional replication to a reporting server). You go the network share and sure enough no backups. Your immediate boss is out of town so you have to call the director to get someone to go to the offsite facility and pull a tape. Thirty minutes later your director calls you back and ask you how this could have happened and if the database was really corrupted. You arrive at work 8:00 AM and the SAN administrators responsible for the restore of files is just getting starting on recovering the file you need. Around 11:30 AM, the three-quarters of GB file is final ready for you to do a restore. The restore takes 17.59 seconds. Luckily, transactional replication is not broke and the all the jobs critical for the business were still running.
The director comes over to your desk and ask you what could have done to prevent this. You tell them the same thing you been saying for a year don't delete your on disk backup until you have another backup stored on disk. At this point the director says we will discuss this more when your boss gets back because they do not want to dictate how the department should run their processes.
This was a big gamble for the company that could have been much worse, say if a more critical database was corrupt or the part of msdb that ran the business jobs was corrupt. This is a bet that if taken in Vegas you might just lose your shirt and not a bet I would be willing to take. It most shops this would have probably been a RGE for the DBA. Moral of the story always have a backup, test your backups, and don't cave to upper management on something so critical to the survival of the business.

text: Hello All, My name is Jason and my wife and I were just re-born. Re-born into the world of smoking meat that is. We had no idea what we were missing. I recently acquired my grandfathers old Char-Broil H2O Bullet smoker a few months ago and finished my 4th smoke last weekend. So far, all four have been wonderful! 1st spare rids, 2nd 8.5# brisket, 3rd Jeff's bacon wrapped chicken breast with sweet peppers & jalapeno's (also used Jeff's Rib Rub and BBQ sauce), 4th 10# midnight brisket smoke. I didn't stumble upon this website until my third smoke so I only have "Q-View" on the two most recent which I've shared below. Oh...I've also just bought two 55 gal. food grade metal drums which I plan on building a couple of UDS smokers with. I've been scouring these forums trying to determine which layout will work best for me. I've read a lot of debate on UDS with or without water pan or with or without drip pan/heat diffuser. So far I've only smoked meat with a water pan but definitely see how the UDS purist feel strongly against the use of water pan's in a UDS. Anyways, I look forward to chatting with all of you kind people and sharing tales of smoked meals, recipes, mods/builds and more. Here's my 3rd smoke: 4th of July Bacon Wrapped Chicken Brest They were still damp from the brine so I didn't use mustard but kind of wish I did. Sweet peppers and jalapeno's About 1/2 way thru the smoke at 1.5 Hrs. steady 220* Just added Jeff's BBQ sauce, wow that is good stuff! I sliced them and served them as appetizers! Everyone was asking why it wasn't the main course. Close up 4th Smoke: 10# Brisket (Midnight Smoke) I smoked it for 8 hrs then put it in this pan and covered with foil and cooked for another 4.5 hrs. Total cook time 12.5 hrs. Temps ranging from 215 - 225. Internal temp upon taking it out 185*. Then I let it rest in and ice chest with pillows for another 2.5 hrs. before cutting in to it. Not the kind of smoke rings I see on some other Q-View posted on SMF but I'll get there. It still tasted unbelievable. Thanks for taking a look at my post.

"Kill Me For The Thrill" – Should I, really? No, I would not dare to hurt someone who is making top quality music amongst the young talents from Central Europe. What I do dare though, is to review the latest track of Bastian Salbart – a young fella from Poland who is taking his star higher and higher by every track and who was recently amazed the crowd of FSOE festival in Poland in August.
Rough name of the track puts a thought in everyone's mind that this one will be a dance floor killer, but I think the opposite is the truth. Male and female vocals are rarely seen in one track, yet Bastian "dares" to use both in this latest deed of his. Salbart has taken on many tracks in the past few years, yet this is the first time that the "big league" notices more, why? And at last, Armin approves, do we? Take a read!
"KMFTT" seems to be a very special track, it differs very much from anything we can hear in the scene today, there is no often used form in this track, it's pure original. Male and female vocals used makes it even more special and it could be a back breaker, but it isn't, both vocals fill in each other perfectly and it gives a very rare feeling to the track, you start to sing along yet you feel the background of the track to be the stronger feeling, haven't heard something like that in years, very well done Bastian!
On the other hand, this unique track surely does not belong to the box with a stample "BEST" on it. I personally believe we definitely heard better tracks from Bastian in 2014, for example "Can People Fly", "One More Day", or the epic intro track "Run" is far more greater than "KMFTT", yet it's definitely not a bad track and it definitely packs something special in itself, because the so proclaimed "king" (Armin van Buuren) noticed it and gave his support to it in ASOT. What more can you want? What more do you need to know to listen to this track? Bastian outdid himself and the quality is being noted.
So in a few words?
Beautiful mix of vocals, great toyful sounds, reverbs, bass line is top-notch as always, breakdown is very original and "steppy". Not a dance floor killer, way too original and special for a dance floor. And yes, I heard better from Bastian.

Moore is better
Credit: Nancy Lane
FOXBORO — Leave it to a former member of the Buffalo Bills to wind up on the wrong side of a crucial postseason play.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Lee Evans had potential victory in his hands and let it slip away. Or, better yet, get taken away.
Trailing 23-20 with 1:44 left, the much-maligned Joe Flacco (22-of-36 for 306 yards and two touchdowns) drove the Ravens from his own 21 to the Patriots 14-yard line with 27 seconds left. On second-and-1, the Ravens decided to go for the jugular.
Flacco spotted Evans in the right corner of the end zone. He floated a perfect pass to the veteran receiver, who spent the first seven years of his career catching passes for the Bills before getting traded for a fourth-round pick in August.
Evans had the ball in his hands and was in the process of shifting it. But just as his second foot was coming down, Patriots defensive back Sterling Moore stole the hero's role right from Evans. Beaten on the play, Moore reached in and managed to strip the ball out of Evans' hands, forcing a third down.
Moore then deflected a pass intended for Dennis Pitta on the very next play, setting the stage for a dramatic finish. Billy Cundiff hooked a 32-yard field goal attempt to the left, giving the Patriots a 23-20 victory and their seventh AFC championship.
"The ball hit me right where I would want it to hit me. It was a great pass by Joe and it wasn't completed by me. It was no one else's fault but mine, no one else should take the fall for this but me. This is the greatest team I've ever been on and I feel like, personally, I let every one of them down."
"It was a crazy play. I had no idea the ball was coming. He did a great job not tipping off that the ball was coming. I seen him catch it. I just did whatever I could to get the ball out. ... It was the first thing I did. I'm glad it worked."
"It was a great play by Sterling. These games come down to one or two plays. Our defense really made some huge plays there, some very critical ones."

This article is the second part of the survey presenting a systematic crystallographic analysis of hybrid twins in minerals. Here we deal with silicate minerals and in particular the hybrid twins of allanite, augite, axinite, beryl, chloritoid, clinoenstatite, clinozoisite, cordierite, cummingtonite-grunerite, diopside-hedenbergite, enstatite-ferrosilite, epidote, forsterite-fayalite, johannsenite, natrolite, piemontite, pigeonite, protoenstatite, pumpellyite, pyroxmangite, quartz, titanite, spodumene, staurolite, topaz, tourmaline, tremoliteactinolite-ferroactinolite, tridymite. The comparison with the twin analysis of non-silicate minerals shows that the number of hybrid twins for non-silicates is higher than that of the silicates. This well agrees with the fact that the twin formation is favoured by the high symmetries of the close-packing topologies, typical of many non-silicates, especially oxides and simple sulphides, whereas the silicate structures are more complex and characterized by different degrees of polymerization of Si-O tetrahedra.

Awarding €6.16 billion in the period to 2020, the MSCA support research training and career development focused on innovation skills. The programme funds worldwide and cross-sector mobility that implements excellent research in any field (a "bottom-up" approach).
There are MSCA grants for all stages of a researcher's career, from PhD candidates to highly experienced researchers, which encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA will become the main EU programme for doctoral training, financing 25,000 PhDs.
Endowing researchers with new skills and a wider range of competences, while offering them attractive working conditions, is a crucial aspect of the MSCA. In addition to fostering mobility between countries, the MSCA also seek to break the real and perceived barriers between academic and other sectors, especially business. Several MSCA initiatives promote the involvement of industry etc. in doctoral and post-doctoral research.

Vampire Diaries actress has racked up quite a few frequent flier miles over the last couple of weeks and it still looks like she's having the time of her life on holiday!
Despite her recent split from co-star and long-term boyfriend , Dobrev's bikini-clad vacation seems to have given her a welcome break from the stresses and strains of heartbreak.
But now, a few photos from her break have ended up on Twitter, and it looks like Dobrev was using the help of a handsome mystery man to take her mind off Ian. In one photo (above), Dobrev has her arms around his shoulders and in the other (below) she has her arm wrapped around the guy's neck while kissing him on the cheek.
Ian's no angel where this break-up is concerned, either. He was recently spotted kissing Vampire Diaries co-star and cosying up to Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.
Is it a coincidence that Nina's photos came out soon after Ian was pictured messing around with other girls? Sounds like somebody is jealous... Either way, The Vampire Diaries Season 5 is about to start filming, so let's hope the pair can put all of this behind them and concentrate on the show!
What do you think of Ian and Nina's promiscuous behavior? Let us know below!

UCD's West Philadelphia Skills Initiative is a constant source of inspiration for us. We love meeting new neighbors at our info sessions; watching participants connect with staff and alumni to hear how the program can transform their careers; and supporting our participants as they use their new skills to nail a job interview, and better yet, thrive in a new job. And when these accomplishments are recognized by respected partners, we pause to celebrate.
On June 6th, 2016, Janet Yellen, Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Patrick Harker, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, paid a visit to the West Philadelphia Skills Initiative to learn more about the WPSI program. During their visit, Chair Yellen and Mr. Harker learned about the work being done by WPSI to connect unemployed residents of West Philadelphia to the growing job opportunities in the neighborhood.
Three graduates of the West Philadelphia Skills Initiative program spoke about their experiences and how their lives have changed since completing the program.
On February 28th, Citizens Bank Foundation announced a $50,000 grant for University City District's West Philadelphia Skills Initiative (WPSI), an innovative job training program that connects West Philadelphia employers to unemployed West Philadelphians. The check presentation was made during a training session for the Drexel College of Medicine Certified Medical Assistant pipeline, a partnership between WPSI and the Drexel University College of Medicine. UCD was honored to be joined at the presentation by John Fry, President of Drexel University; Daniel K. Fitzpatrick, President and CEO of Citizens Bank and RBS Citizens for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware; and Henri Moore, Senior Vice President and Director of Public Affairs, Citizens Bank.
Each summer for the past 7 years, University City District has worked with high school students in our Summer Jobs Program. This program helps students access professional development, explore career pathways, build their work history, create mentoring connections to workplace professionals, and prepare for post-secondary education. A key learning objective is building awareness of the connection between education and success. For the first time, UCD is focusing on students who graduate in 2014 as a way to support these students in the first phase of their careers.
As a result of November's Connect to Success program, four formerly unemployed West Philadelphians are back to work! This four-week training session prepared participants to locate, maintain, and succeed in careers that suit their interests and long-term goals. WPSI partnered with Allied Barton to provide a customized training curriculum, specific to security work and the broader hospitality industry.
WPSI is recruiting for the next Certified Medical Assistant Pipeline Program as well as offering financial management sessions.
"Millions of Americans are looking for work, but at least 3 million jobs are open. Rev. Sharpton highlights a group helping to bridge that 'skills gap.'"
Watch the video here.
WPSI continues to strengthen its relationship with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Building on the success of our first CHOP program that resulted in immediate job offers for nearly 70% of participants, WPSI has launched a second Connect to Success that will prepare individuals for success as Patient Sitters at CHOP.
On October 11, eight interns completed their year-long internships in the Penn Medicine Health System. A partnership between Penn Medicine and UCD, the Penn Medicine Academy (PMA) Internship Program helps recent high school graduates transition to the working world.
Support from our community helps us make University City such a livable, vibrant place.

Ah...now I'm starting to come out of my pre-breakfast chocolate fixation:
1. One of the coolest things about knitting is that your mind does wander to many interesting spots when it's released into that Zen atmosphere. I've heard many people talk about being able to sort through issues and solve problems while knitting. Just this morning I was sitting here, knitting in my hands, one dog by the fireplace (cool mornings), and the other dog asleep on my feet, when so many ideas and answers were popping around my head like last night's popcorn. I find that early mornings are best suited to the simpler projects. I'm currently working on a dishcloth (yeh, yeh, yeh, but they're great for using up bits of cotton, and it makes me smile while I'm cleaning pots and pans. And that's always a plus!) from the Monthly Dishcloth group on yahoogroups.com. Check it out sometime. Two cloths a month, 10 rows a day, perfect to wake up the fingers!
2. So, I (we) wander. Many times I'm asked, "Where is home?" Hmmm. Where do I live at the moment? Where was I born? Where did I spend most of my youth? Where is my heart connected? (Omaha, Germany, New Jersey, where the kids are) At times I envy my friends who have grown up and lived their lives in the same area. They seem to have such a connection to their surroundings. But, then, just think of all the interesting places we've lived, and all the interesting people who have crossed paths with us.
3. (Connected to #2) I'm designing a pair of socks for Twisted Yarns and their sock club. I've chosen to make socks with cables. Every time I work on the pattern I think of the cables as representing the paths crossing.
Yikes- This is getting too mushy and deep for a Sunday morning!
4. I'm also tossing around ideas for Stitch Play Studio. This is a new on-line knit and crochet magazine - the brain child of Lynn Burdick. (I sure hope I'm correct with the last name! I've misplaced the email where we discussed the fact that we both have the same first and middle names - different spellings.) I'll have something in the October edition. (Can't tell you what, though. You know, if I did...well, it wouldn't be good for you.) Anyway, check out this mag...the fiber community always needs new activity.
5. Yesterday I finished the Twisted Yarns sock club sock for April:
It's from Lisa Knits and is called "Sock of the Month - April". Appropriate. Dave felt them and said, "Yummy, " or the guy equivalent. Two hours later I have 4 balls of Cascade Yarns Cash Vera DK - guy grey, color 029. (Twisted Yarns sent Rowan Cashsoft Baby DK for their socks, but my LYS, String of Purls carries the Cash Vera - almost identical fiber content.) The yarn will become a very basic sock. I'll put the free pattern on my blog and Ravelry when the socks are completed.
6. (Connected to #5) I know that some people would just as soon go to their major discount store to buy a pair of men's grey socks, but for sock knitters it's the process and thought put into the socks. Don't we, as hand-knitters, try to explain this to non-knitters when they suggest that we could buy a sweater like the one we just spent $200 for on yarn, and used the last 7 weeks of our lives knitting? Process and thought.
7. I need to wander to the coffee maker for a refill.

Hey Jack, Help Me Transition to Reading Chapter Books!
Do you have or know a child who is transitioning to reading chapter books? Well, if you do the Birmingham Public Library has just the series for you. Sally Rippin, the author of the Hey Jack series, has creatively and successfully combined context and comprehension in the series making the transition to chapter books smoother for young readers.
Each book in the Hey Jack series, which is a spin off to the Billy B. Brown series, is narrated by young Jack himself and presents young readers with identifiable plots, humor, and a variety of emotions. His encounters are similar to those that children his age experience, and though he is a boy, his encounters are relatable to girls as well. Jack even demonstrates alternative ways to handle situations that result in positive outcomes and that may help a young reader facing a similar issue. Each book contains only three chapters with no more than 50 pages providing young readers with a great sense of accomplishment after finishing book. The illustrations are simple, but do an excellent job in reiterating comprehension and providing accurate imagery.
The Hey Jack series is a wonderful way to introduce children to chapter books and has the potential of even winning over reluctant readers. Get young readers excited about their reading journey. Check it out!

After a day of sipping wine and eating pastas (and sipping more wine), we were back in San Francisco for the evening. A lot of people have mentioned that there are many museums to visit in SF, like the De Young Museum, Cable Car Museum, and San Francisco Museum of Art, but our plan was to take it real easy this time.
After our wine tour, we checked out Ghiradelli Square (that place is dangerous for the waistline!) and headed to the Fisherman's Wharf to play some old-fashioned arcade games at Musee Mecanique.
Where I discovered…the BLACK HOLE, aka the most fascinating money sucker ;)
I beat James at a game of Pong, which he still can't get over, but he beat me in virtually everything else: skeeball, Puzzle Bubble, car racing game, table hockey.
Also in Whack-a-Mole. He whacked the heck out of those moles. OUCH….
By dinnertime, we were starving for some sushi. After debating whether we wanted to wait an hour (FYI we would never wait an hour for a table in New York) for a spot at the hip, izakaya-style sushi bar Ryoko's, we decided to bite the bullet and were happy that we did so.
An hour later…food! And beer!
Organic tofu, grated daikon, bonito flakes, scallions, and ginger served in a cold, refreshing broth. Highly recommended!
We also order some rolls to share: Spicy Scallop roll, Volcano roll (with shrimp tempura, jalapeno, peanut butter, and cucumber – sounds like a weird combination but it was tasty), and Crunchy Crab roll (with deep fried soft shell crab and cucumber).
James suggested we try the Natto Roll. Natto is basically a glob of fermented soy beans, and I always shy away from it because of the way it looks. It looks…slimy. So it turns out, it tastes…slimy as well! It doesn't have an offensive flavor, but the sliminess just made it really unappetizing.
Next morning, we were up early and ready to roll! For breakfast, we stopped by Delicious Dim Sum in Chinatown adn picked up a variety of pork and beef dumplings, noodles, fried sesame balls, and steamed buns.
It definitely fueled us for the walk up and down the notoriously steep streets.
Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge was up next. We rented a bike near the Marina and biked on the car-free path through the Presidio National Park to the base of the bridge.
From there, you get some stunning views of the bay, before getting up close and personal on the Bridge.
A pleasant downhill ride took us into the quaint, charming town of Sausalito, where you can grab a bite to eat, shop, and walk leisurely along the pier. We opted to down with Strawberry Balsamic ice cream and Tropical Smoothie from Lappert's.
I, among many others, found amusement in this guy's rock stacking ability!
From Sausalito, we hopped on the ferry with our bikes and got right back to the Ferry Building in San Francisco!
Located on the waterfront in the Embarcadero, the Ferry Building was built in 1896 and now houses a variety of restaurants (some with tables and benches outside for alfreso dining), coffee shops, and purveyors selling local meats, cheeses, olive oils, and all the fresh produce you need.
I was particularly drawn to this shop selling so many varieties of mushrooms. They sell grow-your-own-mushroom kits, too!
After a brief tour of the Ferry Building, we whizzed through the Embarcadero, Pier 39, and Fisherman's Wharf on our bikes in record speed before returning them to the rental place.
By then, we were starving and Tacolicious in the Mission was calling our name! They're known and recognized for their killer tacos and fun atmosphere. Have I told you how much I love tacos?
I stuffed myself with the fresh chips and salsa verde while we waited for the food and drinks. Instead of sweet cocktails, I ordered a Michelada, a beer cocktail that borders on the savory side: tecate beer, lime, salt, and tapatio hot sauce! It was so good!
For the main event, we tried the traditional carnitas, guajillo-braised beef short rib (a bit salty), chicken in mole colorado, chorizo and potatoes, and grilled shrimp tacos. I was inspired to recreate them at home, especially the chorizo and potato taco which was my favorite.
Oh, and we got a few shots to share. Because they sound tasty (prickly pear juice and tequila), and we're on vacation. Yeeeaap!
Sunday morning, we skipped the routine lazy Sunday brunch, had a quick breakfast at the hotel, and then headed back to Marin Headlands. We had wanted to go there the day before but biking there would have been way too strenous. Not having our bikes made it easy as the bus just zipped right into the trailheads.
The hike along the coastline was beautiful and picturesque, and you pass by some batteries dug into the hills.
The trail to Point Bonita lighthouse was closed when we were there, so be sure to take note if you plan on going.
Succulents grow rampant everywhere, some even have a pretty pink tinge.
We saw Rodeo Beach in the distance and were determined to get there, even if it meant forging our own route!
One final burrito from the corner taqueria before we go.
I am tuckered out but happy to have spent the weekend doing a little bit of everything: hiking, biking, wine-tasting, and dining! New York City is amazing in its own way, but the West Coast definitely reigns supreme when it comes to outdoor activities. And beautiful weather, of course!

Paul Bäumer is just 19 years old when he and his classmates enlist. They are Germany's Iron Youth who enter the war with high ideals and leave it disillusioned or dead. As Paul struggles with the realities of the man he has become, and the inscrutable world to which he must return, he is led like a ghost of his former self into the war's final hours. All Quiet is one of the greatest war novels of all time, an eloquent expression of the futility, hopelessness and irreparable losses of war.
I wish it were possible to award six or seven stars for a book and reader. This would be my choice for that combination. Listen and weep.

A novel's greatness can often be seen in its timelessness and it globalness. This novel escapes the boundaries of time and place. It is as real today as it must have been when first publlished. There is something both poetic and banal in the solidarity and brotherhood that surrounds war, death and the madness of man's struggle for survival in the midst of the dark and chocking abyss that floats in the trenches of war.

This book moved me in the way the movie "Saving Pvt. Ryan" did (especially that movie's initial D-Day scene). There are countless war movies and books, but these are the only two I am familiar with that were capable of bringing home the horror of war. My father fought in WWII and never told war stories or even talked about combat other than in vague ways. In his view war was a senseless "meat grinder". I never felt I knew what he was getting at until after I'd seen Saving Pvt. Ryan and read "All Quiet on the Western Front".
All Quiet is written by a WWI combat veteran and tells tells the story of Paul Baumer who, along with his classmates is encouraged to join the war with a great deal of patriotic talk by those who, by virtue of their age or position, need never fight themselves. Paul soon discovers that, as U.S. Gen. Sherman said:
"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell."
"There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell."
I finished this book thinking, for mankind to evolve, wars should simply be banned (or, as suggested by Paul and his comrades, turned into life-and-death tournaments between the world leaders and generals who declare them).
The narrator is perfect and really does the material justice. And the writing itself is beautiful. Unreservedly recommended. A+

This book, from the story to the narration, was pure perfection. I have read hundreds of books and seen thousands of films in my life, yet none came close to the the horrors of war depicted in this book. No wonder the Nazi's wanted the author's head! This book gave me a whole new perspective on WWI that I never had before. I cannot recommend enough. Should be required reading for all the peoples of earth.

Phenomenal depiction of the horror and monotony of war.
Paul Bäumer at 18 is convinced along with his classmates to join the WWI war effort. They meet an older soldier, Stanislaus Katczinsky or Kat, who becomes a mentor and helps them survive initially.
Overall the grisly descriptions and absolute hopelessness is relentless. It's easy to see why the Nazis banned and burned this book.
Frank Muller is one of my favorite narrators, and his work on this book made it even more incredible.

This is an old book about a German soldier going through the machine of war on the Western front. Due to how old it is, I did not expect it to be that brutal, but it was actually pretty tough at parts. It is like a more raw, stripped down version of For Whom the Bell Tolls. It has a few funny parts to break up all the horror, but overall it successfully brings you into a battle and does not let you out alive. It was almost too heavy, but I liked it.

All Quiet on the Western Front reaches much farther than the battlefield and stretches to ages well beyond youth. There is much about the nature of life and the loneliness that comes with understanding that no one can truly know the depths of our experiences... also, how do we live during times when all actions are futile, when the world becomes a prison-- such situations and realizations occur again and again through life, and the book intensifies this understanding because it takes place in horrific circumstances.
It's easy to see why the Nazis banned and burned the book. Not many books are so eloquently anti-war, both in overt statements and also structured into the story. Hitler didn't want citizens or soldiers to know the truth of war, or be exposed to questioning of authority and breeches of discipline.
I don't know German, but this translation is often poetic. The excellent narrator senses and brings out the beauty of such passages.

What made the experience of listening to All Quiet on the Western Front the most enjoyable?
This is a classic book. Frank Muller (narrator) performance elevates this book to a five star.

Where does All Quiet on the Western Front rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
I have downloaded almost 200 audiobooks from Audible - this ranks in the top 10.
What did you like best about this story?
The truth of it......sad, but compelling. The futility of war....so much pain and loss at the human level. Kids killing kids - dreams shattered, and for what? But it was a very well done story, despite the grim subject matter. And also very thought provoking.
What about Frank Muller's performance did you like?
The evenness and matter of factness of his tone really brought out the truth of the story. He expressed the reality of the characters lives very well. I thought he was top notch, and did a fantastic job.
Who was the most memorable character of All Quiet on the Western Front and why?
The main character, Paul. It was HIS story, but it could have been any one of the character's story, or any soldier's story. I think that was possibly the author's point.
Any additional comments?
Everyone should read this, particularly any young person considering joining the military. This story may have been about WW1, but I think it is just as relevant in today's world. War is war. And war is hell.

If you could sum up All Quiet on the Western Front in three words, what would they be?
It never gets old. Third listen over the years to this story about school boys thrown into the horrors of trench warfare. Frank Muller has the perfect voice and cadence to add to this great story. A must listen.

Content note: This article contains mentions of sexual assault and rape.
We like to think of IFM-SEI and our organisations as safe, utopian spaces, which are different from the societies in which we live. But the reality is that we are a still part of wider society. Patriarchy, misogyny, violence and many many other structures of power and hierarchy continue to exert their influence. Combined, they produce the ideal context for sexual harassment, assault and rape.
However much we want to believe that our organisations are non-hierarchical, equal and full of reflective feminist young men, sexual violence still happens within our member organisations and on IFM-SEI events.
Our motto is 'education for social change'. But how can we try to change society in a meaningful way when IFM-SEI's spaces do not live up to our own ideals? 'I Act' is about changing the culture of our organisations, little by little, so that we in turn can change society.
This cultural change is not a burden that should be placed at the feet of the women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folk who are most likely to endure sexual violence.
Statistics show that perpetrators of sexual violence are most likely to be men. But the assumption that gender violence is a women's issue gives men an excuse not to pay attention.
Yet sexual violence affects all of us. And it will take all of us engaging in the issue if we are to make any progress in tackling it. Practising solidarity means engaging in issues that do not directly affect you. It means recognising your privilege and using the power of your voice and actions in a way beneficial to those other than yourself.
Silence is a form of complicity, and the absence of enthusiasm for the I Act training, especially among men, is disappointing and a sign of how far IFM-SEI still has to go for sexual violence to be recognised as an issue to be tackled, let alone solved.
Sexual violence is not a separate inconvenience to the work and education we do. It has everything to do with practising solidarity, for creating a more peaceful world, to fighting for equality, and standing up for human rights, especially those of minorities.
First of all we need to radically accept that sexual violence is an issue in our organisation. And then we need to apply some of the radical thinking and actions that we practice in so many other aspects of our politics and educational work, this time for something much closer to home.
We have re-opened applications for our Training of Trainers on the prevention of sexual violence. The deadline for this opportunity, part of the 'I Act' project is now Sunday 19th March.

This Lucario is a fighting/steel-type Pokémon owned by Riley.
Lucario saved Hareta from being attacked by B-2's Graveler and Graveler used Rock Slide, which was countered by Lucario's Close Combat with its eyes closed. B-2 then ran away and Riley came, introducing himself and Lucario. B-2 appeared later again in the caves and Riley used his Lucario to battle his Drapion. Lucario wanted to attack Drapion but Drapion used Fire Fang, injuring Lucario badly. After Hareta's Riolu was able to paralyze Drapion with Force Palm, Lucario used Aura Sphere on Drapion.

It's First Thursday again, already! That means—mm, well that means a lot of things (art, lack of parking, overcrowding at the bar), but for the purposes of this blog it means an excellent excuse to get down to some stores. Three I'd like to highlight:
• Narcisse (1015 SW Washington, 5-7 pm): This West End store had a rough year, suffering a winter flood not long after first opening its doors. It's a good sign they're getting back on their feet with this, their inaugural First Thursday fête. Sip beer and wine while perusing the delightfully romantic grownup goth girl merchandise—all regularly priced pieces will be 20% off for the occasion. Plus, local jeweler Brehan Todd, newly available at the store, will be in attendance:
• Radish Underground (414 SW 10th, 5-9 pm): Right around the corner, this local design-supporting shop is quickly becoming a staple. This month's featured talents hail from Hood River: Jennifer Thomas' JET Designs (including one-of-a-kind pieces exclusive to the store) and visual artist Leif Ilvedson's show of sketches and oil on canvas titled "Fashion Fetched." Plus, piano music by Alia Farrah and a window installation that features the mini golf hole from John Bacone (in case you missed it at Holocene's last mini-golf invitational)—if you get a hole-in-one, take 25% off your purchase, but even if you don't, take 10%!
• Folly (1005 NW 16th, 6-9 pm): As mentioned before, it's Folly's first anniversary, too.
Happy wanders...

Multiple inlets problem
Hello, all
I was doing a gas-liquid modelling work in which multiple inlets were invloved. These inlets are actually bubble diffusers and I totally have 100 of them. Can someone give me some suggestions on how to handle these multiple inlets(in view of mesh, turbulence model, and boundary conditions so on)? Is it the same as to treat a single inlet?
The geometry of my problem is simple, just a tank with several baffles and liquid comes from one side flow out other side. The gas is input from the bottom before first baffle.
Thanks for your inputs!
Best regards!
Re: Multiple inlets problem
A complicated problem anyhow. Accurate modeling is to adopt some 20 cells for the vross-section of each outlet, then the total would be 2000 cells or so, which seems not so difficult to handle. A simplification is to take each outlet as a source that injets a certain mass and also momentum into the computational domain.
Re: Multiple inlets problem
Thanks, Yuan
Best regards!

The financially unfortunate City of New Orleans, saddled with a "just above junk" credit status, hired Ambac to provide insurance for its municipal bonds. Ambac's AAA rating slipped after the 2008 financial crisis, causing New Orleans to incur tens of millions of dollars in additional debt service and refinancing costs. The City sued Ambac on several legal theories for not maintaining a high credit rating. The Fifth Circuit affirmed their dismissal: "[T]he resolutions that the City so heavily relies upon show only that the City purchased a bond insurance policy from a highly rated insurer, which, at the time of issuance, lessened the perceived credit risk of the City's bonds. Any alleged representation by Ambac to provide a larger credit enhancement is foreclosed by the clear language of the Policy." New Orleans City v. Ambac Assurance Corp., No. 15-30532 (March 2, 2016).

In a time when Governments and regulatory bodies are scrambling to get a grip of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies, the Isle of Man is leading the way by thoroughly embracing the technology.
The inaugural meeting of the Manx Digital Currency Association took place on the 1st April. The event was a full house, attended by leading data hosting provider Wi-Manx along with prominent lawyers, bankers, software developers, miners and exchange operators from around Europe and further afield. The meeting clearly demonstrated the desire for businesses to embrace Digital Currencies and how the Isle of Man was emerging as the "digital currency" place to do business.
The Isle of Man has recently featured in the Digital Currency press due to the work of Paul Davis, Group General Counsel for the Counting House Services group of companies. Paul has sought opinion from the Isle of Man Financial Services Commission (FSC) whose response suggests the Isle of Man is currently positioned as a Bitcoin (and Digital Currency) friendly jurisdiction. The facts and ruling are covered in a recent coindesk article.
There are countless businesses looking to embrace Digital Currencies and the Isle of Man business community is embracing the technology. There are numerous Digital Currency operations already setting up in the Island with several more potential start-ups attending yesterday's meeting.
The benefits of doing business in the Isle of Man are well documented; world class infrastructure, highly skilled workforce, a can-do attitude in Government, competitive taxation and a reputation as a safe and compliant financial centre. All of these benefits, coupled with a forward-thinking approach to Digital Currencies, positions the Isle of Man at the forefront of the movement. It also shows a certain determination and desire for clarity in a world where Governments and regulatory bodies are struggling to legislate, let alone classify what a Digital Currency is.
Wi-Manx commented:
As a leading datacentre, hosting and network provider, Wi-Manx is already in discussion with leading exchange operators and software houses about relocating their core infrastructure and Digital Currency operations to the Isle of Man. Our experience in delivering robust, large-scale hosting solutions and embracing new technologies does give us that competitive edge.
Many of the Digital Currency organisations we have spoken to are true innovators, lean and technology focused, who, using their wealth of knowledge and technology know-how, have seized the opportunity. We are able to assist these businesses through a range of colocation, Cloud and dedicated server solutions, leaving them to manage their technical operations. They have a requirement for infrastructure and we can deliver that.
Many other businesses are approaching Digital Currencies, not from a technology angle, but from a commercial standpoint. Wi-Manx adds:
This type of business prefers a more hands-off approach to technology. This is where our range of managed hosting solutions are attractive, helping to accelerate product development and reducing time to market, crucial in such a fast moving ecosystem.
If Bitcoin and Digital Currencies are seen as an integral part of your business and you are interested to see how Wi-Manx and the Isle of Man can assist, then Wi-Manx invites businesses to get in touch. As an innovative, trusted hosting and technology partner, Wi-Manx can help. Wi-Manx work closely with Government and a network of professional advisors experienced in Digital Currencies.
