What is Holotropic Breathwork?
"Holotropic Breathwork is an experience approach to self-exploration and therapy." – Stan Grof
Coined by founder and psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, holotropic comes from the ancient Greek words (holo + tropé) meaning 'whole' and 'movement towards,' indicating that Holotropic is all about moving towards wholeness. Psychotherapist and breathwork facilitator Andrea Anstiss explains more about this trending protocol:
Initially, Stan Grof and his partner Christina Grof began their research by experimenting with the ways in which they could achieve altered states of consciousness through the usage of LSD. After LSD's prohibition, they discovered that these states of consciousness could be achieved without the use of any hallucinogens.
Stan Grof explains that "Holotropic breathwork utilises incredibly simple measures to realise different domains of our being. From deeper and fuller breathing, powerful and evocative music, to wise and safe spaces." During this process, connecting to one's inner healer is key and "leads the participants to a state of expanded self-awareness." Watch Stan Grof say more about this:
What are the benefits of Holotropic Breathwork?
In line with the increasingly popular zeitgeist of today, many Transpersonal therapists believe that to induce non-ordinary states of consciousness without the use of drugs is seminal to those who are yearning to better understand the ways in which we conduct emotional enquiry.
"Holotropic breathwork shatters illusions, smashes glass ceilings, takes you beyond yourself and yet deeper into yourself." – Andrea Anstiss, Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator
"Through meeting your inner healer, using connected breathing, opening to a spectacular soundscape and receiving the support of experienced facilitators in a safe space, you are able to enter deeply into your inner process, heal, and transform," she says.
The breathwork opens up four main domains that participants experience in distinctive ways. It is important to note that these stages are not usually experienced linearly, but often overlap, intersect, or interconnect.
The first domain is the Sensory/Somatic Realm
Participants may experience intense feelings that emerge as impulses or movements in their body while lying on the ground. If your body needs to move, then it is encouraged to move. However, it is not uncommon for some participants to have still experiences. Whether there is movement or stillness, the journey ahead remains remarkable.
The next domain is the Biographical Realm
This involves the re-experiencing of past events that may or may not have been traumatic. This realm delves deep into experiences participants could have suppressed in the interim from their birth to their current present. With Holotropic Breathwork, these events or experiences have a chance at being released and resolved. (For tips on how to deal with sadness in a meaningful way, click here.)
The third domain is the Perinatal Realm
Experiences and memories from conception until the moment the umbilical cord is cut may surface.
The fourth domain is the Transpersonal Realm
Participants may have experiences that take them beyond their skin encapsulated ego. Some may find themselves talking with angels and deities from one's particular culture and religion. One may even find themselves talking with ancestors. There are many astounding transpersonal experiences that people have chronicled, and some say, according to Andrea Anstiss, that people have mentioned it being the only real spiritual experience they have encountered. (For more information on dealing with trauma through Transpersonal Psychology, click here.)
Interested in attending a Holotropic Breathwork workshop?
Andrea Anstiss is giving a talk on June 26 in Dubai to better prepare those who wish to participate in the Holotropic Breathwork workshop happening on June 28 from 9am to 8pm.

Daniel Best commits suicide by beating himself to death
Nov 23, 2018
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Nov. 1 death of Daniel Best, a pharmaceutical executive from Bay Village who led U.S. Department of Health and Human Services efforts to lower prescription drug prices, has been ruled a suicide, officials in Washington, D.C., said Thursday.
Police say Best was found "unresponsive" near the garage door exit of an apartment building in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood at 5:25 a.m. on Nov. 1, and was pronounced dead by medical personnel who responded to the scene.
The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Thursday said Best died from "multiple blunt force injuries" and it ruled his death a suicide. It would not release further information.
This is a bit like the man who shot himself in the head three times to make sure he was dead. His "multiple blunt force injuries" make me wonder which of these blows actually killed him. It is quite dangerous to save the people $50 billion in the cost of pharmaceutical drugs, which he claimed to be able to do. People have been killed for a lot less than that.
He was killed November 1st. The report above was published on November 15.

A swashbuckling hundred from Sol Budinger, strong contributions from Chris Gibson, Jake Libby and Jordan Cook and two wickets from Lyndon James saw the Academy dominate the first day of their friendly against Lincolnshire MCCA Development.
Notts, put into bat, lost James early on but Gibson (49) and Libby (35) shared in a 69-run second wicket stand to push the score up to 80-1.
Both fell in quick succession shortly after and first-ball ducks for Liam Patterson-White and Joey Evison left Nottinghamshire on 124-5.
However, Budinger allayed any fears of a small total as he flayed the Lincolnshire attack to all parts of Sleaford Cricket Club, racing to his fifty off just 49 balls.
That quickly became a century off 86 deliveries despite losing Callum Metcalf as Cook (37) joined the left-hander for a 115-run seventh wicket partnership.
Budinger eventually fell for a 109-ball 134, including a staggering 102 runs in boundaries (15 fours, seven sixes) before Nottinghamshire declared on 290-8.
In response, Lincolnshire opened up with former Nottinghamshire prospect Tom Keast who had raced to 30 off 27 balls before he was captain James' first victim, caught by wicketkeeper Sam Hall.
James added Keast's opening partner Harry Franklin to his haul shortly after before Ben Coddington (38) and Bilal Shafayat (21), another familiar face for Nottinghamshire fans, made starts but couldn't kick on.
They fell to Patterson-White and Ishraj Jandu respectively as Lincolnshire closed the opening day on 138-4 with Matt Carter also getting through six overs on his return from injury.

Trisha Brown, one of the founding figures of postmodern dance in the 1960s, choreographed her last work in 2011. Since then, the dance company that bears her name has found ways to keep her work before the public. In its latest project — "Trisha Brown: In Plain Site" — the troupe selects items from her multidecade repertory for specific locations; each of these events will be named for its setting.
So the series begins with "Trisha Brown: In Plain Site, 101 Spring Street, NYC" on Friday and Saturday; I attended a preview on Thursday. A five-story 1870 cast-iron building, 101 Spring Street is the former home of the artist Donald Judd and today houses the Judd Foundation. Dances were on the ground, second, fourth and fifth floors. This was the kind of new approach to dance that Ms. Brown helped pioneer: dances that the audience had to walk about to observe in different places.
Thursday was a New York idyll, with the huge windows bathing the space with daylight. The dances, however, felt as unlived-in as the building: Everything could have been labeled "of academic and historical interest." A long-term believer in the best of Ms. Brown's work, I'm keen to see more "In Plain Site" performances, but they need more dance content and juice. Playfulness, texture, fullness were in short supply.
The program consists of five short dances: the solo "Accumulation" (1971) on the ground floor; the male duet "Rogues" (2011) on the second; two quartets, "Sticks IV" (1973) and "Figure Eight" (1974), on the fourth floor; and, in the fifth-floor bedroom, a solo from "M.O." (1995). Jamie Scott has often been a marvelous dancer (she was one of the last members of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company), but hers was a demure, polite "Accumulation"; and, though Diane Madden was in the original cast of "M.O." 20 years ago, the same applies to the solo she gave from it. The mood, as in the two quartets, was clinical, dry, contained.
Best was "Rogues," performed here by Marc Crousillat and Stuart Shugg. You could feel the fun of how a leg-swing lifted the foot of the supporting leg off the floor. And, as torsos and limbs tilted and bent in changing lines, you sensed Ms. Brown's keenly exploratory wit.

These crispy, sliced roast potatoes with onion are so tasty and soooo easy to make. All you need to do is wash the potatoes and remove any black bits. If the skins are in good condition I leave them on, but it's just preference, you can also peel the potatoes if you prefer.
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds and place in a baking tray. I make the slices of varying width, from about 2 – 4 mm wide, so that some get crispier than others. You can alter the width to suit your preference but if they're too thin they tend to vanish into nothing once cooked and if they're too fat, they lose their crunch.
Next, slice the onion into chunky rings and mix with the potato. I like to use 2-3 onions but it works fine also with just 1.
Sprinkle the onion rings and potatoes with salt and pour on a tiny bit of olive oil, just enough to moisten the potatoes when mixed into the oil. Mix the potatoes and onions thoroughly so that they're lightly coated in the oil but no oil is sitting in the bottom of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 200ºc and place the potatoes in the heat for about 40 minutes, making sure to flip them over every so often especially after the first 10-15 minutes.
These are easy, tasty, quick and simple. Delicious in fact.
What more could you ask for? Serve them with stuffed eggplant or stuffed peppers

Americans Freed By Iran Are Finally On Their Way Home & Their Stories Are Incredible
On Saturday, nuclear sanctions against Iran were lifted, prompting Iran to free five American prisoners who had previously been unlawfully detained. The prisoner release comes on the same day that International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Iran had completed the necessary steps to begin implementation of President Barack Obama's Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, otherwise known as the highly controversial Iran Deal. On Sunday, Obama credited the release to "smart, patient and disciplined approached to the world."
"This is a good day," said the president, in a statement from the White House. "Once again we're seeing what's possible with strong American diplomacy."
The release of the five hostages has prompted many additional questions. Who were the five American captives released by Iran? When will the five American captives arrive home? What were the conditions of the American captives' released? The answers, like the Iranian deal itself, are complicated and multifaceted.
According to The Washington Post and a senior administrative official of the president, three of the Americans were flown out of Iran on Sunday, after a short delay. The Americans were then taken to Switzerland and a United States military installation in Germany for medical inspection before finally being allowed to come home. A White House representative explained, "We can confirm that our detained U.S. citizens have been released and that those who wished to depart Iran have left", suggesting that those released who did not get on a plane did not wish to leave Iran immediately.
The United States initially offered clemency to seven Iranians — six of whom are dual U.S.-Iranian citizens — who were convicted or awaiting trial in the United States, in exchange for the American prisoners. In addition, the U.S. agreed to removed charges and drop Interpol red flags on 14 Iranians, all awaiting extradition (although it would have been highly unlikely that any of the would have been successfully or willfully extradited by their country).
As the world watched the Americans travel from country to country on their final journey home, social media was abuzz with questions about their identities. Here's what we know about them and their incredible stories.
Jason Rezaian
Jason Rezaian is a reporter for The Washington Post, and was arrested on July 22, 2014, along with his wife, Abu Dhabi journalist Yeganeh Salehi. Rezaian is a duel United States-Iranian citizen, but Iran does not recognize duel citizenship and refused to release Rezaian to the United States upon his capture, questioning, and arrest.
Rezaian was 38 at the time of his detainment. The charges were "vague" and held in Iran's secretive (and corrupt) Revolutionary Court System. Rezaian - and the other captives - were essentially used as pawns in a larger, international struggle for Iran to appear powerful and capable. On Sunday, that struggle finally came to a screeching halt, with Rezaian boarding a plane to return home.
Amir Hekmati
Amir Hekmati is a former United States Marine who was visiting Iran for the first time to see his aging grandmothers when he was captured. He was sentenced to death by Iranian court on fallacious charges that he was spying on the Iranian government for the CIA.
Hekmati's parents fled to the United States in 1979, just as the Islamic Revolution was beginning. Later, in 2001 to 2005, Hekmati served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a rifleman and translator, deploying to Iraq during the Iraq War in 2003 and 2004.
Saeed Abedini
Saeed Abedini is an American evangelical pastor from Boise, Idaho, who was arrested and imprisoned in 2012 for attempting to establish a number of house churches in Iran. In 2013, he was convicted of "threatening Iran's national security".
Abedini was born and raised in Iran and became a United States citizen in 2010. He was traveling to the country of Georgia, to visit his parents when his passport was taken and he was detained by Iranian officials. His arrest and subsequent conviction was highly publicized and used to highlight the ongoing persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
"We've all learned to have peace no matter what came our way in the midst of ups and downs," Abedini's wife Naghmeh told The Washington Post on Saturday, after learning her husband would finally be coming home. "We've trusted God and his timing, and today was the timing."
Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari
The fourth American to be freed on Saturday is somewhat of a mystery, and the only released captive to not get on the plane that was taking them home. Little is known about Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, as his capture was never reported on or publicized.
Publications around the world are still waiting to learn more about Khosravi-Roodsari, or hear from his family and/or friends about his release.
Matthew Trevithick
Matthew Trevithick was released separately from the four originally freed captives after spending 40 days in an Iranian prison. Trevithick is a journalist who was in Tehran studying Dari when he was captured and imprisoned. Not much is known about his detainment, as it was not reported by any major news sources.
Trevithick had previously worked at numerous American universities in Afghanistan and Iraq while writing for publications including The Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal and the Daily Beast.

People are facing greater and greater hardship as a result of cuts in benefits, homelessness, uncertainty at work, and escalating racism. Legal aid – which is an essential part of the welfare state – has been cut again and again. The people most in need across the ten districts of Greater Manchester are being deprived of access to justice.
Greater Manchester Law Centre has been set up as a clear challenge to this. We now have premises (the main Princess Road in inner city Moss Side) and volunteers providing some legal advice (welfare rights, with sessional solicitors offering more widely). Thanks to two generous national charitable trusts we have been able to appoint a Supervising Solicitor who will start to supervise and regulate all our advice and representation. Thanks to continuing support of another trust, we are now looking for a(nother) truly tremendous person to work with her, to ensure that the law centre maximises support from all possible sources, including volunteers, community groups and trades unions across the county. This is so that we can manage the development of a sustainable organisation, committed to campaigning and policy demands and service provision, for the long term future.
This will be an 18 month post (in the first instance) and requires someone who is able to work alongside the Supervising Solicitor and take substantial responsibility for managing the development of viable law centre activity for all of Greater Manchester. Anyone who is interested is invited to contact email@example.com or gro.uaimg@esined in the first instance (for informal inquiries and information).
Formal applications will need to be made by 12.00 noon on Monday 30th January 2017 and we are hoping that interviews will be able to be held in Manchester within the next 10 days after that.

Turkish scientists convert DNA into music, animation
ANKARA. KAZINFORM Human DNA has been notated and visualized by a computer program at a university in Turkey's capital.
"We notated and visualized DNA in our project," Elif Surer, a scientist at Middle East Technical University (METU), told Anadolu Agency in an interview.
"We have transformed the characteristics that distinguish each person from another to music as well as to light signals and animations," Surer said.
Surer and graduate student Elif Bozlak embarked on an installation art project titled "The Music Inside You", which involved converting mutations, or random small differences in our genetic codes, into music and light signals, Anadolu Agency reports.
The art then turned into a research project with the assistance of 92 volunteers, Surer said, which was presented at the GOODTECHS 2018 Academic Conference in Bologna, Italy.
Aybar Can Acar, a scientist at METU, said the DNA in chromosomes makes every human being different.
"Let's think of the entire chromosome as a wire, whether it's [on] a saz [Turkish stringed instrument] or a guitar string, and divide it into frets," Acar said.
"As a result of the sequencing, when mutations occur, we create the individual melody by stroking these frets.
"We've uncovered music that isn't in the world and probably never will be," he stressed.
Bozlak said five volunteers took part in the project for visualizing DNA.
"We have not seen any special music and visual creation using DNA mutations," Bozlak said.
"We converted the chromosomes into the frequency values by equalizing the length of a guitar string. Then we created different sounds, visuals and animations using this frequency data."
Bozlak stressed that DNA mutation is not always a disease.
"Our aim is to teach about DNA with fun and remarkable methods."

invitation....did you? Oh well, they are a great fit. She has spent a lot of time with him supporting many charity events in Northeast Ohio. Let's not
get too excited....but let's hope the Browns start surprising us! Make sure you are listening to all the games right here on Akron's Home of the Browns

You can either choose to FEEL your life, DIE a slow death…or STOP, breathe slowly….FEEL and LET GO…I chose…I did.
Life continues to prove to me that in order to fully find yourself…we sometimes need to lose our way. I still can't believe that two months ago I was talking marriage to a man who was so wrong for me for the long term and only a month ago, I was thinking of quitting my job, moving, etc. Today – this moment – I am in such a different place.
I have been home bound for more than three weeks because of my accident. And now with this winter storm, I am even more tired, going mad from cabin fever. I feel like screaming.
Really being stuck – literally – shows us who are friends are, and who are fair weather friends are.
Thank goodness for real friends, caring people, thoughtful people…just when I want to give up, they throw me a lifeline.
Oh well, it's another year. Last year was a year of hopes, dreams, looking for love, looking for work, triumphs, hours on the phone with Cablevision, but I survived yet another cancer scare, Hockey lockout, American Airlines pilot near strike, AMR's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, losing keys, two pairs of glasses…. But everything is possible at any age.
I will continue to live my funny life….safety challenged and all…♥
Live through this, and you won't look back…

Jazz & Swing dancing queens
Norma Miller, known as the Queen of Swing, passed on to the next world the morning of May 5th at her home in Florida. She was 99. Miller is a much celebrated figure in the Lindy Hop and Jazz Roots community across the globe. One of the true O.G'.'s of lindy hop and jazz dancing, Norma famously won the 1935 Harvest Moon Ball Dance contest. She was then invited to join Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, a crew of young black jazz dancers from NYC who trained and showed off socially at the world famous Savoy in Harlem, NY. Whitey's Lindy Hoppers went on to travel the globe, spreading the joyful and rebellious spirit of swing across the globe. She is one the featured dancers in the infamous, high-speed dance scene from Hellzapoppin'. In the thirties and forties, Norma had her own company of dancers with whom she choreographed and performed. She continued to hustle even in her nineties, teaching all around the globe, keeping vernacular jazz dancing alive at home and abroad. Rest in Power Norma!
Check out these article to learn more about Norma Miller's life and work.

today's jazz roots bad asses
In celebration of Norma's life and legacy, I want to celebrate some of my other favorite jazz dancers. In this blog, we've already shouted out Latasha Barnes on as a powerhouse working in both jazz roots and house dance styles. Last month, I was in Paris attending the Jazz Roots festival. I was motivated to attend when I saw an internet video of her 2018 performance.
vaudeville royalty
Florence Mills was the Beyonce of her day. She sang, acted, and choreographed. She had her own show, Blackbirds Revue, that toured the globe. Mills voice is often described as "birdlike" though no recordings of it remain. She was outspoken in her advocacy for civil rights and racial justice.
Katherine Dunham forever stands as the goddess and scholar who elegantly bridged vernacular jazz and concert dance theater. She was a choreographer, dancer, ground breaking anthropologist, and an activist speaking her mind until her last days. Dunham's legacy is apparent in several classes at UMA, not just Solo Jazz and Lindy Hop. Her influence is felt in Leilani Chirino's Afro-Cuban class, in Sanchel's B-more Afro House Class, and also Majestique's class.

Published: Saturday 28th September 2013 at 11:00
After months of refurbishment work to the old school building in Brandon, the new Brandon Centre, a flagship community facility, has celebrated its grand opening.
The event followed a soft opening of the centre on Tuesday, giving staff a few days to iron out any last minute problems and add those finishing touches.
Located just off Bury Road and next to Market Hill, The Brandon Centre is now home to Brandon Library, Forest Heath District Council, Brandon Safer Neighbourhood Team, Brandon Pre-School Playgroup and a children's centre. There are also public meeting facilties which can be used by local people.
Funded by Suffolk County Council and Forest Heath District Council, the £1.6 million project has also seen the Bury Road car park refurbished and resurfaced to create an additional 21 parking spaces for visitors to the town and the Brandon Centre. A new entrance has been created in the centre of the building which allows easy access from the newly landscaped car park.
The centre will be open weekdays from 9am and weekends from 10am, closing at 5pm on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, at 5.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3pm on Sundays and 7pm on Fridays. New toilets, including disabled facilities, are located inside the new building and will open the same hours as the main building.
The new library, which is now offering free WiFi to it's customers and a new self-service machine, will continue to open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am. The opening times of Brandon Safer Neighbourhood Team's front desk will also remain unchanged and will open from 12 noon until 2pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday.
Suffolk County Council's deputy leader Lisa Chambers, along with Brandon resident and caretaker of the old school Charlie Wharf, cut the ribbon to officially open the centre at 2pm on Saturday 28th September. The opening event coincided with a range of fun activities and stalls on Market Hill from 11am.
Lisa said "The Brandon Centre is an excellent example of public sector organisations working together to save old public buildings and provide better community services at the same time.
"We have listened very carefully to what services people wanted in the centre. We want to encourage as many people as possible to come into the building and see what has been done and is on offer.
"I'd especially like to thank local county, district and town councillors who have helped us to run today's event and activities. I'm sure the Brandon Centre will very quickly become a focal point for the town and serve it well for years to come."
Councillor Robin Millar, Forest Heath District Council cabinet member for families and community, added:
"This is a welcome improvement but it is more than just a new building - we are changing the way we work with residents and want to encourage them to get involved in shaping their communities and the services they need help with."
Commenting on the relocated Brandon library, Suffolk Libraries' General Manager, Alison Wheeler, said:
"We are pleased to be part of this exciting community project and I hope local people will enjoy accessing all the services and activities we have to offer in a modern and attractive new library for Brandon."
Tim Passmore, Suffolk's police and crime commissioner, commented:
"The Brandon Centre is a superb example of the public sector working together to deliver excellent community services right in the heart of the community they serve.
"I am very pleased that Brandon's safer neighbourhood team will be housed alongside other key local services and I am sure the centre will be quickly established as a real community hub by those living in the town and provide easy access to the Constabulary."

|Of all the large cap issues in the S&P 500 index (.SPX), few have enjoyed as persistent a rally as those of Eastman Chemical (EMN). From a bargain-basement low of 8.88 in March 2009, the stock proceeded to gain as much as 901% by the time March 2014 rolled around. Think of that — an average (non-compounded) annual return of 180% in an era of sub-1%, Depression era savings account yields. Surely, it is worth traders' and investors' time and effort to learn the basics of successful, consistently profitable market tactics and techniques, and in this article, we'll look at a valuable 'leading indicator' with good predictive ability that traders/investors alike can utilize again and again. Here's a closer look now, using EMN's daily (Figure 1) and weekly (Figure 2) charts.
|Figure 1. Eastman Chemical's (EMN) current set of corrective waves are implying that the line of least resistance for this S&P 500 (.SPX) component is toward lower prices — look for support to manifest between 80.07 to 81.85.
|Graphic provided by: TradeStation.
|The bullish run for EMN has been breathtaking, but even a mega rally like this one needs some time to pause, correct/consolidate, and test support before making a move to perhaps even higher all-time highs. Then again, even a mega rally ends at some point, followed by a major bearish trend reversal, one that can erase 38%, 50% or even 62% of the previous gains in a comparatively short period of time. While no one knows if EMN is now destined for a minor (proportional) correction or an outright nasty bear market, we can rely on several basic trend momentum and Fibonacci tools to help us in our attempts to make money from this — or any other stock.
Okay, so the big deal here in EMC is simple and straightforward:
1. A beauty of an AB=CD Fibonacci swing ratio pattern is in full bloom on EMN's daily chart.
2. The weekly chart shows a very bearish, full-tilt stochastic indicator.
3. The powerful, wide-range bearish candle on March 26 proved there was an abundance of stock available for sale in the 86.00/87.00 area; swing CD is now well underway after rejection of that resistance zone.
4. The next major weekly chart support is near 81.00.
5. Fibonacci swing ratio analysis suggests these will be potential termination zones for swing CD (see chart for visuals).
100% of swing AB @ 81.85
127% of swing AB @ 80.07
162% of swing AB @ 78.21
Just using your eyes to locate major support zones (the gold horizontal line on the weekly chart) and then doing some basic Fib swing math allows you to quickly discern that the zone between 80.07 and 81.85 is going to be the first meaningful support zone for EMR; if this zone fails after a minor bounce then we know that the zone between 78.21 and 80.07 becomes the next high probability support zone. The trading/investing game is all about knowing what the probabilities are, and then trading in accordance with those offering the most likely chance of success.
|Figure 2. EMN's weekly stochastic paints a very bearish picture, at least until the support near 81.00 is challenged.
|Graphic provided by: KnowVera Research LLC.
|Given the tremendous downward forces at work in EMN right now, it's a low risk trade to go short here, as follows:
1. Use 85.50 as your initial stop (a bit above the daily 10-bar average) after going short on a drop below 82.25 — this is $1.25 of trade risk.
2. Use 81.50 as your initial profit target and take at least half if not all of your open gains there if not stopped out first.
3. Use a three-bar trailing stop of the daily highs to manage the position as the trade plays out.
4. Truly skilled traders can attempt to hold on for bigger gains beyond the first support zone, but would still be well advised to take partial gains anyway to limit the risk of a short covering rally. Keep your account risk at 1 to 2% maximum.
Trade wisely until we meet here again.

Ghost Craters on the Moon Give Strong Evidence for Creation
The existence of ghost craters on the moon and other planets are strong evidence of a young timeline for the solar system within the creationist model. While the lighter colored regions of the lunar surface signify higher elevation areas composed of granite-like rock, the darker-colored sections represent basaltic plains formed by volcanic eruptions (known as lunar maria or mare for singular). Ghost craters are impact craters found on the moon that have been partially or mostly filled with lava so that only the outer rim of the crater is seen. Creationists believe that these meteor impact craters occurred in a large quantity within a short time period, giving evidence of the youth of the moon within the creationist time frame. The majority of the craters on the moon are on one side, the side that always faces the earth or the "near side." In addition, more craters are located in the northern section of the near side than the southern section. The moon rotates completely about once a month, therefore the fact that the craters are not uniformly distributed across the moon and concentrated on one side and one section indicates that the impacts occurred very quickly and not over 500 million years as the evolutionists claim. Creationists have also postulated that these meteor impacts that hit the moon also hit the earth (or came from the earth, as proposed by Dr. Walt Brown) during the creation week or during the Flood initiation of the springs of the deep. Creatonists also note that the few craters found in the maria compared to the highlands indicate a period of greater impact bombardment followed by much fewer bombardments after the maria volcanic flow (1). Therefore, the moon was not bombarded by a gradual rate of impacts over millions of years but over a short period of catastrophic events within the creationist time frame of 6,000 years.

After we finished our short chat with the farmer who repair the stairs, we continued our way up to the five dragon peak!
Mostly everyone who is visiting Mt. Wudang knows the famous pilgrimage route from the southern cliff palace (Nan Yan Gong / 南岩宫) up to the Golden Summit (Jin Ding / 金顶) the highest spot in the whole mountain range. Beside endless stairs, some small temples and shrines on the way you will pass three heavenly gates before reaching the top.
When you go up to the five dragon peak, there are also three gates ... three heavenly gates, it depends on if you want to see them as such but i guess most of the people would not even notice them as heavenly gates but for us they are there!
Sometimes a gate (field) can be a special place, where you have the feeling that there is some kind of different energy you go through! Sound crazy but places like that exist everywhere around the globe and don´t need to be man-made! To Recognize the importance of the insignificant!
On the way up, you will also find some small shrines, offside the main trail and following a little turnoff, walking through thickets, you will find a cliff cave which where used back then and maybe nowadays again somebody choose to live there, who knows! For sure an interesting place to visit but very difficult and dangerous to reach! Here you find some fotos of that cave by Eva Ming ... click 1 2
From the temple of the five dragons up to the summit it takes around 1 to 1 1/2 hour, depending how fast to want to walk.
After passing the third heavenly gate we reached the top, we where curious what will await us up there! Surprisingly we found that two people, a woman and an old man living there and using this place for there personal cultivation.The area includes a simple farmers mud house, when i remember right with maybe three or four rooms, two rooms where you can sleep, one altar room and a kitchen. Beside the main building, you have also luck to enjoy the super version of an oldschool chinese toilet :) . Beside the buildings, there is a fountain and small fields for planting your own vegetables.
They both where very friendly and after offering us some fresh water, we talked a little bit about how is it to live here so isolated and what brought them to this place! The old man was the first time here and just give it a try, but the woman said she comes every year for 1 or 2 month for cultivation. After asking her what does she practice, she just answered, nothing special ... i just come and live here for a while without any special method ... the daily life is my practice! She added, that she and her husband always alternate each other, when she goes back to her hometown and family, he will come and stay also for some time! When I get that right together, she also said, that her father several years ago had a vision in his dream about Wudang and the Wu Long Ding and that he should go there. He never been in Wudang before, he was searching for that place for a while and finally he found that place what he saw in his dream and started building this house.
In 2011 when we came back and lived at the Five Dragon Temple, we met a daoist monk who seems also to take care of that place!

The Swarovski factory is the crystal factory located at Wattens in Austria. It is the second most visited place in the world. It is one of the major attraction for the tourist people who visit Austria and all over the globe. It is a museum compromising of many crystal structures and the designs made their of glass cutting. Till today no one knows the design explaination of how the design is made by cutting the glass. The museum also comprises of Taj Mahal in its collection. Every person loves to see crystalline structure the way it shines or glitters and when the sun rays passes it glitters the natural light or vibrant colours attracts them right from a child to old people. Well there is a saying Beauty is in the eye of beholder but I say Beauty of Swarovski beholds everybody's eyes.
The history of Swarovski crystal factory goes likes this. It was founded by Daniel Swarovski. He was the son of a glass cutter and an artist himself deep inside his heart. He learnt the art to carve the things in glass and gave them the dimension which glittered in crystals like shining star. The Swarovski family has its business spread in many areas like crystal glass structures,jewellery,fragrances and chandeliers. Now coming to its history Swarovski crystal factory was opened in 1995 to mark the centenary celebrations of the company and since then it has attracted as many 11 million viewers all over the world and still it continues to attract tourist all over the world.
There is a centerpiece of theme park i.e. it is the grass covered head and its mouth has a mountain. It is one of the major attraction. The most interesting part of this museum has in its history that it remains family run descendant under Swarovski families fourth and fifth generation. The multimedia artist Andre Heller designed 14 chambers of world with his artistic vision. And it's worth the result as all experience unique with every visit.
There is a special edition called Virtual world tour. It consists of 16 different types of categories. First one is the Entrance Hall then next comes the Mechanical theatre which has shows specially played under direction of renowned British artist and inventor Jim Whiting. The most important one Crystal Dome which is built by using 595 mirrors, it gives the feeling for visitor that they have stepped in a dome region. It is one of the spectacular beauty to your soothing eyes and the colors of light expresses its beauty in myriad forms. Next one called as Winters dream designed by Alexader MacQueen and light artist Toord Bontje during the year 2005 still captures everyone's eyes.
The largest kaleidoscope in world known as Crystaloscope is another added feather to Swarovski Crystal factory. It is a fountain created by Andre Hellerin in the year 1995.Various images of crystal appear continuously. Another one is the crystal theatre created by artist susanne schmogner and the theatre includes various objects created by using crystals. Next is the Crystal calligraphy, this idea was popped up in order to mould all the languages into one single part. The most exotic one is Ice passage, where there is change in colours on floors and also we can listen our foot tapping sound
The giants belongings is one more to watch out for. It is the creation of Andre Heller only. It consists of a picture which appears to be a mirror but later it becomes transparent. Then we have Giant in Tyrolean costume which has a stick, ring and gloves. The stick was designed by Austria woodcarver Rudi Hirt and the mysterious thing is that gloves are of 7year old, wooden stick of 12 year and ring of 35 year old. Then comes the turn of Le Primadonna Assoluta which means The wonder of Harmony and it is a room embedded with the giant crystal and it opens up and we can see the art of Primadonna Assoluta and also we can listen the song sung by Jessye Norman. Next is 55 million crystals which is the wonder of Infinity where you can sit, listen music and take pictures. The brain behind this is Brian Eno who is a multifaceted personality musician, composer and artist. The master piece their barely lies in motion and it changes its motion like chameleon.
The next surprise is Reflections which is nothing but the Wonder of the world where you can see 48 Polygons. Each polygons changes its colour and if you carefully observe you can see it portrays the relationships of crystals, its nature, history, religion and all information related to it. The wonder of elements i.e. Crystal Forest where there is a fusion of nature and technology. It is the idea of Fabrizio Plessi who created it. There also lies a tree trunk which has a video installation that can crackle and glow. Next One is The Timeless Swarovski which depicts the family lineage of Swarovski, how it came to existence and all the history attached to it. Last but not least Shopping store where we can find entire things just I can say name it you will get it. The products ranging from fragrance, Beauty ,watches, fashion accessories etc.Total worth the penny you spend on it.

My first exposure to clarified butter was while working at the Inverness Hotel and Golf Club. We'd clarify 50 pounds at a time, which called for a watchful eye because if you were to burn that much, you'd never live it down. I used it in Culinary School to mount my hollandaise and served it in a stainless steel petry dish over a lit candle while working at Brook's Steak House.
When I moved to Alaska, drawn butter was commonplace, mainly used as an accompaniment to King Crab. I came up with a raw garlic infused drawn butter, which became part of my favorite meal on earth…
While working at a Marriott Property in Anchorage, we weren't allowed to clarify our own butter, so we'd buy it in 5 gallon buckets. We'd hack it into chunks and freeze it, then pull it out as we needed. I suggest you do the same. You know, start a little butter bank account in your freezer. Your life will be better for it!
Clarified butter is one of my three favorite cooking agents, the others being olive oil and coconut oil. You can buy the stuff, often labeled as ghee, but it is more economical and satisfying to make it on your own. It is great for cooking eggs, seafood, steak, chicken, you name it.
This video is not necessarily exciting, but it is necessary as it sets the stage for hollandaise. Check it out here:
As my Uncle Juice might say, this article is, "Buttery." Or even simpler it's, "Butter."
Aside from employing drawn butter as one of your cooking agents, I recommend you use the word butterto describe all good things. You know, things that are smooth, rich, and awesome. If you do this, your life will become butter, which is short for better!
Until next time, Keep It Buttery!
And "Keep It Paleo!" too…
Your Guide to Culinary Fitness,
Paleo Nick
