Found this old God Gold today that I had sent out awhile back! As we begin our weeks today, I pray this changes the "ugh Monday" perspective and helps us all see the awesomeness and power of God we have in our lives with each moment. I know for me it begins in my thought life, I feel defeated before I even walk into what the week holds, the constant busyness, the work days, all of the to-do's you're drowning in that have to get done. When thinking about those things in our perspective and listening to the lies the devil plants in our heads, yeah, things can get tough. Anxiety, worries, depression, and the feeling of defeat all can run your life if your thoughts are focused solely on that.
But wait!!! Despite all the craziness and lies that are thrown at us, we don't have to give in and give up. We serve a God who is too great, too powerful and too BIG to let our little problems keep us down any longer. Think and mediate on these verses today about God. Keep them in the forefront of your thought life and every time anything negative starts to creep in and you want to feel like the defeated victim. Remember what God says, He will strengthen you and help you through any situation, when you focus on God and who He is instead of your problems, you begin to see that the moments you aren't focused on God is your biggest problem. No matter what you're going through just know that God is right there with you, fighting for you, giving you His strength to draw from, He is providing and helping you in every way possible. He will uphold you, keep you lifted above the lies that you're defeated, He will lift you up to living in complete victory! Don't focus on your fear and problems this week, focus on God and what He is capable of doing in your life which is literally anything!!! It's funny when your eyes move in focus to Him, our BIG BIG God, the little problems and stuff that we face where we usually feel defeated. Our belief and view of God being so big shrinks all that struggle and our behavior and actions are that of victory, love, peace, and joy!!! Sounds like a week with God and His powerful Word in sight is a whole lot better than any week could have! Keep this promise from God close today, hold tight to it and let it lift your eyes to Him!!!
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10
Just had a thought for ya today. I read this verse then this song came up on my way home from work and I was speechless. As a human, with all my little problems, bad habits, doubts, weaknesses, and sin, despite all of that fun stuff I'm just a creature who was created by the Great I AM! I have a relationship with God almighty. I'm a creature who is abundantly loved by such a faithful Creator. Whatever you have going on in your life, just think about that today, live in that, love in it, and share it with others who may not have realized it yet. I've never been so humbled and thankful to be able to send you the God Gold messages!

Updated: Nov. 6 | Scroll to the end of this post to find out more about the photograph.
Students: After looking closely at the image above (or at the full-sized image here), think about the following three questions:
- What's going on in this picture?
- What do you see that makes you say that?
- What more can you find?
Then, join the conversation by posting comments below. (But please remember not to post your last name.)
Be sure to read what other students are saying as well, and consider commenting on their comments by putting the "@" sign in front of the name of the commenter you'd like to "speak" to. It is much more interesting when the comments become an actual conversation.
Please note: We'll have live moderation of this discussion by V.T.S. facilitators from 9 – 10:30 a.m. and again from 12 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern.
To learn more about how this feature works, you might visit previous images, and read the comments, or read our first post describing the idea.
If you're new to "What's Going On in This Picture?," here, briefly, is how it works:
Monday mornings by 7 a.m. Eastern time: We post a New York Times image with no caption, no headline and no helpful link back to an article. To answer the question "What's going on in this picture?" you have to rely solely on the information you can gather from the image itself — and from the online discussion with other students.
After the image is posted each week, a lively conversation takes place in the comments section as students post what they observe and why, and consider multiple interpretations of what they see together. (Though if you'd like to join the conversation later, that's fine, too: comments will be open indefinitely.)
Mondays, 9 to 10:30 a.m. and again from 12 to 1:30 p.m. Eastern time: Facilitators from Visual Thinking Strategies, the group we collaborate with for this feature, will be on hand to help live-moderate the discussion, posting questions, paraphrasing comments and linking student responses, all in an attempt to help students go deeper.
We'd be delighted if you planned to be online with your classes at that time, but if that's not convenient for you, you can still do the exercise each week on your own.
You will know it's a VTS moderator not only because their comments are signed "VTS moderator" but because they appear in bold in the comments stream.
Tuesdays by 9 a.m. Eastern time: Information about the previous day's image will be added to the Monday post, but placed after the "read more" link, way at the bottom of the page. That way, if you like, you can find out where the image came from, when and why it was published in The Times, and more about its "back story" — or not.
Since the photographs themselves will remain online at the top of each post free of identifying information, teachers can continue to use them for discussion with future classes without the "answers" being obvious.
Any Time: Teachers can use any week's image, and students can add to the online conversation by posting comments, whenever it is convenient. We will leave each post up and open to comment indefinitely.
Update: Nov. 6, 2012:
Here is more information about this photograph, which comes from a Times slide show "Obama and Romney's Last Debate" published on Oct. 22, 2012. The caption reads:
People watched the debate, over coffee and breakfast, at the Bridge Cafe in Beijing.
The slide show accompanies the article, "Sparring Over Foreign Policy, Obama Goes on the Offense," which reports about the final presidential debate.
Sim Chi Yin, the photographer, shared with us this story about the photograph:
That picture was taken in Beijing's university district, at a screening run by the Democrats Abroad volunteers here in Beijing. There were Americans and Chinese, mostly living in Beijing, others who were visiting from other Chinese cities like Harbin. Beijing's time zone is 12 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time, so it was breakfasttime here during the nighttime debate in the U.S.
We searched the Internet to find more about the Bridge Cafe. Time Out Beijing provides this review:
The hub of Wudaokou, and thus student central, The Bridge is where it's at judging by the 24-7 crowds that flock here from nearby Peking University, Tsinghua and BLCU.
Hike up past the Lara shop and enter the first of its three floors. Here, smokers and non-smokers sit divided while a polyphony of English and other vocabularies crackle in the air. There's a corner piano that's rarely heard, as well as outdoor seating that boasts such precious sights as the Wudaokou light rail.
In addition, we found this Times article, "China's Financial Industry Recruits Abroad" that quoted the Bridge Cafe's owner, Brian Connors, about the influx of foreigners in Beijing:
"I've seen expatriates come and go — it's a cyclical thing here. One of the major setbacks that causes foreigners to leave is health: pollution and congestion are hard on your body and lifestyle. The cost of living is really low and there's great service here but the infrastructure is still developing," he said. "It's like living like a king over here; a king of a sort of busted castle."

Sandy Wolf's commitment to Children's Hospital Colorado is deeply personal. More than 40 years ago, when she was 25 and pregnant with twin boys, she suffered an unthinkable loss. Both of her babies, Michael and Matthew, died at birth.
"My heart was so broken," said Sandy. "No matter how long it's been or how many more children you have, you never stop grieving what should have been yours."
But in her grief, Sandy found a purpose. Through philanthropy, she wanted to help give babies access to lifesaving interventions that weren't available for her twins – and prevent other families from experiencing the devastating pain of losing a child.
"I had searched throughout my lifetime to find a place for my twin boys to rest in my heart," said Sandy. "In 2011, I received a call from Jen Darling at Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation. She told me about a program that could save babies' lives and lessen the need for intense medical care at birth."
Jen told Sandy about new advances in fetal surgery being developed at Children's Colorado. These groundbreaking in-utero procedures could save the life of an unborn child and prevent a host of medical issues after birth. Sandy also learned about a new fetal surgeon who was being recruited to Children's Colorado: Dr. Ken Liechty, a renowned expert in maternal-fetal medicine.
"I learned about the miracles that Dr. Liechty and his team could accomplish with a mom and baby in-utero," said Sandy. "My excitement was like I won the lottery. I could finally have an explanation. I could finally have a place to put the pain of losing my boys."
In 2011, Sandy made a $2 million gift to establish the Sandy Wolf Endowed Chair in Maternal Fetal Surgery with Dr. Liechty as chairholder. Sandy continues to work full-time to fund the endowment, and says that she will continue to work "to ensure that other people don't have to endure what I went through."
"If these procedures had been available 40 years ago, my twins would be alive today," said Sandy. "In a way, this gift has brought my life full circle."
Since Sandy made her generous gift, Children's Colorado has become home to one of the foremost fetal surgery programs in the nation, performing hundreds of fetal procedures on patients hailing from 45 states. Her gift has enabled Dr. Liechty and his team to make extraordinary strides forward in maternal-fetal medicine. Children's Colorado now boasts some of the best survival rates in the country for fetal surgery.
Sandy isn't the first in her family to support Children's Colorado. Over the past several decades, her parents have supported a multitude of hospital programs and helped to establish Children's Colorado's first mental health unit through The Melvin and Elaine Wolf Foundation. They contributed a cardiac life support system in one of the hospital's original Flight for Life helicopters, as well as numerous beloved sculptures to the hospital's art collection. The Wolf Family Resource Library they funded offers a wealth of information for patients and families.
Sandy is proud of her family's long tradition of giving to help children and families.
"I don't just love Children's Colorado because I had a life-altering experience," said Sandy. "The best part of giving is seeing how much progress is being made and knowing that you're giving families hope. It doesn't matter if you give $20 or $2 million, giving is always a sacrifice and every bit makes a difference."

The Evergreen Ball is an annual black tie celebration hosted by the Friends of the Smokies - the non-profit organization benefiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Over 500 attended this year's event which raised over $600,000 and over $5.5M in the past 14 years. Central to the evening is a silent and live auction to raise funds for the GSMNP.
The UT Rugby Team began volunteering for the event in 2010 and have assisted with increasing duties every year. This year, 21 players worked two shifts for the event which included, set up, event security, bidder checkout, merchandise couriers and event break down.
"Since 2010, we have been grateful beneficiaries of the team's assistance with our largest fundraiser, the Evergreen Ball. Fron helping with the heavy lifting during set up to assisting guests in getting auction items to their vehicles, these young men play an important part of making this event successful."
- Jim Hart, President, Friends of the Smokies

From JC to Silicon ValleyRead more
By all accounts, San Francisco-based Zapier is a Missouri company.
All three of its founders attended the University of Missouri and have roots in Mid-Missouri. The app-automation company spawned out of the first Startup Weekend Columbia in 2011 but quickly jetted to Silicon Valley.
Zapier is the perfect example of a problem a new task force created by Gov. Eric Grietens in June seeks to fix. Greitens created the Governor's Innovation Task Force to create a better environment for startups by giving new businesses better access to funding and creating regulatory reform programs.
The task force's leaders also want to make the state more attractive to students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and math so those graduates will stay here after they graduate and create their own businesses or fill open jobs at fledgling startups.
While Zapier's founders have roots in Mid-Missouri, the company flew west when it was selected to participate in the famed Y Combinator startup accelerator in the spring of 2012. Shortly afterward, in October 2012, the company got a $1.3 million seed funding round led by global venture investment firm Bessemer Venture Partners.
Zapier co-founder Wade Foster, a Jefferson City native, said Missouri does have some advantages for startups, though.
Both northern and southern California face housing shortages and low vacancy rates, which have caused rental and real estate prices to soar. Startups, which typically run on lean budgets during their earliest days, may be attracted to Missouri by its low rental prices.
"Missouri has some definite advantages," Foster said. "Things like the cost of living are fantastic because it allows folks to get started on stuff. These other cities that are up and coming are being able to take advantage of the fact that in other places like San Francisco it's so expensive to live there."
An August report by the task force notes a recent study showed Missouri has the seventh highest percentage of college graduates leaving the state after college. Some of the state's problems may be solved by better using innovations coming from Missouri's research institutions.
The report also notes MU generated $46.3 million in technology licensing fees in 2016 and is consistently in the top 25 percent of universities nationwide for money received from technology licenses.
During the second quarter, Illinois led Midwestern states with $814 million in venture capital invested in its firms, according to Pricewaterhouse-Coopers. Michigan and Ohio trailed with $40 million.
Missouri ranked fourth among Midwestern states during the second quarter with $14 million invested in Missouri startups. That's down from $16 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $43 million in 2015.
A 2017 Kauffman Foundation report ranked Missouri No. 10 among 25 large states for startup activity. The number of startups per 1,000 firms grew from 76.8 startups per 1,000 firms in 2012 to 95.5 in 2014, the last year for which data was available.
This year, Kansas City and St. Louis improved their rankings on the Kauffman Foundation's Startup Activity Index, with Kansas City moving up from No. 19 in 2016 to No. 10 this year. St. Louis moved from No. 36 to No. 26.
In a survey of 1,700 participants, the task force found 70 percent of participants said Missouri's climate for startups is improving. But only 24 percent thought startups statewide have enough access to capital. A 2016 Bloomberg report also ranked the state No. 32 for innovation.
As companies spawn around technology created at Missouri universities, talent will stay, investors will seek to invest in Missouri companies, and a startup ecosystem may be formed, both Foster and the task force report indicated.
"If you're investing in these educations and companies are coming out of it, you'll start to create a bigger pool of talent," Foster said. "It's going to take time. It doesn't happen overnight."
Foster said entrepreneurs want communities to be welcoming, particularly to LGBTQ residents and things that help empower folks from different racial, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.
"Smart, talented folks wants to be in an environment that tolerates strangeness," Foster said. "Part of running a startup is introducing strange, new ideas and being willing to see where things might go."
The task force report also notes it may be most effective to market the state to entrepreneurial Missouri natives who could be enticed to move back: "Attempting to recruit talent that already has lived in Missouri, has social and family networks here, and understand the state's benefits has a higher probability of success than recruiting talent without Missouri or Midwest roots."

Trusting God's Promises – Day 4 of 21 Promises
"Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel just as He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He gave through His servant Moses." 1 Kings 8:56 (NIV)
I've often wondered what it must have been like to be among the people of Israel during their exodus from Egypt. They'd been slaves for some 400 plus years. Then, a leader rose up among them named Moses, and he was commissioned to deliver them out of Egypt and take them to the Promised Land. The interesting thing is that, over 400 years before, the very God who would perform all those miracles to get them out of Egypt told Abraham that his descendants, the Israelites, would be enslaved in a foreign land; but, after 400 years, He would deliver them with great wealth! That prophecy is in Genesis15:13-14(NLT)
"Then the Lord said to Abram, 'You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be oppressed as slaves for 400 years. But I will punish the nation that enslaves them, and in the end they will come away with great wealth."
I don't know if they had access to that promise; but, if they did, they could have just done the math and would have known that deliverance was on the calendar! The God who was with them in the present was the same God who gave the promise to Abraham in the past, and He is the same God who is in the future! He knows the beginning from the end! Not one of His good promises to Israel would fail! When millions of Jews were led by Moses out of Egypt, they didn't go emptyhanded! Even though they were poor slaves, God caused the Egyptian slave owners to look upon them with favor and give them their wealth! Look at this verse in Exodus 12:36 (NLT)
"The Lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!"
Just as God told Abraham over 400 years before, they left with great wealth! The very God who kept His promises to Israel is the same God who will keep His promises to you and me. Not one of them will fail. The Bible tells us,
"For no matter how many promises God has made, they are 'Yes' in Christ. And so through Him the 'Amen' is spoken by us to the glory of God." 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV)
This is a great passage to meditate on today as you consider His faithfulness to keep His promises to you! What are the promises God has made to you? Trust Him to keep them and speak the "Amen" over them in your life! It means "so be it!" When you speak the "Amen", you are standing in agreement affirming God's faithfulness and power to keep His promises.

Welcome to the Racine Community Acupuncture Clinic
Community style holistic healthcare in the Racine Area
** Racine Community Acupuncture has moved! **
** New location: 10502 Northwestern Avenue, Franksville, WI 53126 **
We provide quality, affordable acupuncture for the regular folks in Racine. We're here to help our community heal by helping individuals heal. We treat in a group setting where people can relax in recliners while healing together.
Racine Community Acupuncture offers treatments on a sliding scale of $15-$40, (with a one time office fee of $10). You choose to pay what you can afford. Acupuncture is most effective when used on a regular basis, so we want to ensure cost does not prohibit you from healing.
As one of the oldest, most commonly used healing systems in the world, acupuncture is simple, safe and sustainable healthcare. Acupuncture does not have to be expensive to be effective. Racine Community Acupuncture makes this possible.
We are part of the solution to the soaring cost of U.S. healthcare.
Acupuncture is a medical practice developed 4000 years ago in China.
Throughout the centuries practitioners realized specific energy paths, called meridians, running through patients' bodies. Meridians run throughout the body, connecting the outer parts of the body with internal organs. By manipulating the flow of the energy, called qi, (pronounced chee), practitioners helped their patients heal. Because the meridians flow internally and externally, acupuncture treats internal diseases through superficial needling.
This use of meridians explains why an acupuncturist can treat a local pain or internal illness using seeming unrelated points. For example, sciatica may be treated through points on the wrist rather than on the lower back, gluteus maximus or hamstrings; shoulder pain may be treated through points on the leg, ear, wrist or finger.
Meridians are the body's communication system. An imbalance within this complicated network causes symptoms of internal, chronic and more common illnesses. Acupuncture practitioners use this system to diagnose and treat these diseases, tapping into the network from precise points on the meridians to return the entire body to balance and health.
According to the United Nation's World Health Organization, over seventy diseases can be treated effectively with Acupuncture, including the following:
- Musculoskeletal:
- Acute pain, chronic pain, arthritis, work related and sports injuries, back, knee and shoulder pain.
- Respiratory:
- Asthma, allergies, bronchitis, common cold, sinus infection.
- Neurology:
- Occasional and chronic headache, migraine, sciatica, Bell's palsy, post-stroke paralysis.
- Gynecology:
- Menstrual disease; PMS; menopause syndrome.
- Gastro-intestinal:
- Irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, ulcer, digestive dysfunction including GERD.
- General Medicine:
- Fatigue, hypertension, diabetes, insomnia.
- Pediatrics:
- Asthma, bed-wetting, seizures, colic.
- Dermatology:
- Eczema, herpes, hives, rashes, acne, skin care.
- Urinary:
- Incontinence, impotence, prostate, bladder and kidney function.
- Emotions and life style:
- Fatigue, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, immune deficiency.
- Addiction:
- Substance abuse of tobacco, alcohol, prescription drugs and food.
Oriental Medicine may effectively treat symptoms and root causes of:
- Immunological dysfunctions:
- Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, Reynauld's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Neurology:
- Multiple Sclerosis, tinnitus, macular degeneration
This list is certainly not comprehensive. If you have any questions about the effectiveness of Oriental Medicine for your needs, please contact me and we can discuss the possibilities. If we don't believe Oriental Medicine will help you, we may recommend alternatives.
Chinese Herbology
While acupuncture works through the body's meridians, Chinese herbs are more substantial. Throughout the centuries herbalists realized various plants, animals and minerals affected the body in different ways. Practitioners mixed herbs according to their properties, adding a little of this and a dash of that until the fundamental, balanced formulas of Traditional Chinese Medicine were developed.
Unlike Western pharmaceuticals, Chinese herbs are processed in their whole form. They are not split into their component parts, and mixed in various proportions with other chemicals. While various types of processing affect each herb differently, the herbs themselves maintain their balanced integrity throughout the process. So, the formulas have balanced ingredients and, when mixed in proper proportions, are themselves balanced to maximize their intended effects and minimize side effects.
Chinese herbal formulas include food, teas, elixirs, liniments, powders, capsules, tea pills, and ointments.
Christie S. Kern, L.Ac., MSOM, B.S. Nutrition
Christie Kern earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine (MCOM) in Racine, Wisconsin. After providing in-home acupuncture in Harrisburg, PA, and working in a traditional one patient per hour acupuncture clinic, she returned to her hometown, Racine. Upon her return she opened her dream clinic, Racine Community Acupuncture. Revolutionary in design, this community-style acupuncture clinic is part of a national movement. Community acupuncture offers affordable, effective treatments in a living room setting, with soft music in the background as patients relax in a reclining chair. "Working in a group not only reduces the cost of each treatment," she explained, "It brings a greater concentration of healing energy to each patient. It's like comparing a solo singer to a choir."
Christie has helped patients find relief from conditions ranging from the Common Cold, Low Back Pain, Crohn's Disease and Sciatica to Acne, Sinusitis, Prolapsed Uterus, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), Depression and Anxiety. She's found that many people believe acupuncture is only for pain relief. However, acupuncture treats everything. "This medicine is simple, elegant and flexible," she explained. "And it's personal. If ten patients came with the same Western medical diagnosis of, say, migraine headaches, chances are they'd each have a different acupuncture treatment."
Christie graduated with a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Journalism from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. As part of her undergraduate education, she studied at the University of the West Indies in St. Augustine, Trinidad. During this program, she started learning about traditional medicine among various cultures. Eventually, Christie ventured into the realm of Traditional Chinese Medicine, while trying to resolve her own back pain. Barely able to stand, she gratefully accepted acupuncture from a friend. That night, she went dancing. By the end of that same year, she began her studies at MCOM.
Licensed in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, true love carried Christie from the sandy shores of Lake Michigan to the beautiful capital of Pennsylvania and love of family called her back again.

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has branded Scott McTominay "undroppable" after the midfielder's performance in the 2-1 win over Tottenham.
McTominay missed three games through injury but made himself available to face Spurs after completing just one training session 24 hours before kick-off.
"You can almost say he is undroppable at the moment," said Solskjaer.
"The physical presence he gives us, the leadership he gives us in midfield, he also releases Fred.
"He trained yesterday [Tuesday] and that was just a light session with the reserves but he's a tough boy.
"There was no chance he was going to say 'no thanks' if he felt OK.
"It's probably the first time I've really really pushed players that haven't had the foundation but he's so fit anyway."
Solskjaer also lauded the impact of Marcus Rashford, who scored both United goals to make it 12 in his last 13 games for club and country.
"The boy is 22 and he played like he was in his back yard or playground with his mates," said Solskjaer.
"He's played all the games, more or less this season. The boy is getting fitter and fitter, more and more experienced. What a performance. Two goals, he creates them himself, he should have had two more, bur for great saves by the keeper."
United moved up to sixth in the table after ending a run of three games without a victory on Jose Mourinho's return to Old Trafford.
With some questioning Solskjaer after the club's worst start to a season since 1988-89, the win was a major boost.
"The three points are massive for us. We've had too many draws this season and given too many points away from winning positions," Solskjaer said.
"We've made decisions that we had to and we're looking to build this club to be better again and I can't think short-term when I'm trying to do that," he said.
"When we turn the corner and win three or four games on the run, they will get that Man United feeling again."
Solskjaer faces another big test on Saturday when his team travel to the Etihad Stadium to face champions Manchester City and he may have to do it without Anthony Martial, who did not feature against Tottenham because of injury.
"I don't know [about Martial] for Saturday -- not sure," said Solskjaer. "Of course, you want to have your first XI all the time. I've been able to do that once against Chelsea, maybe Wolves but it's a squad game. With the injuries we've had it's made it hard for us.."

Suzhou Startup Weekend: A hotbed of innovative ideas!
The sixth edition of the Startup Weekend in Suzhou was held on October 19, 20 and 21 at Suzhou S&HE Aerospace. SKEMA Ventures was the academic partner of the event and Sudeep Chhabra, Professor, SKEMA Business School, participated as a mentor. Mariapaola Saponaro, a student from SKEMA, and her team won the first prize.
Startup Weekend is an innovative event which aims at providing practical entrepreneurship education to students. The 54-hour event began with a pitch and brainstorm session on Friday night, followed by building a business model, product prototypes and designing a marketing strategy, ending with a road show on Sunday night. The participants were introduced to novel entrepreneurship practices. This edition of the Startup Weekend in Suzhou was focused around the general aviation industry.
According to Mariapaola, participating in the event helped her improve her work attitude and develop more flexibility, as she was often involved in team roles that she had never taken before. "It was challenging. Although we faced some difficulties initially while communicating with each other, we achieved the objective successfully in the end!" she asserted.
The idea of Mariapaola and her team comprised elaborating a mobile application through which, during a flight journey, passengers would be able to enjoy the scenery, check an interactive map, get information about main cities, book hotels, restaurant, and buy local food. The airline company (which would be a partner) would deliver the required products and services to the travelers. All the information and data would be supported by a Cloud platform.
For more information, contact Mariapaola Saponaro and Sudeep Chhabra.

Watch Dogs: Bottom of the Eighth – blackout the stadium, escape the cops
There's plenty to do in this first mission, but if you follow these tips you'll be way ahead of the police and upgrading your skills in no time.
Objective: Shoot Maurice
Draw your weapon and fire at Maurice. Once the next scene has played out, Maurice will come for you so perform a takedown to leave him flat out.
Objective: Examine Maurice's phone for information
Target and hack the phone on the ground. Easy.
Objective: Leave the locker room when ready
You can just leave here right now, but it's better to have a look around to see what you can find. There's meds on the counter to your right and a chemical component on the floor ahead of you. Behind you there's a machine that can be hacked. Around the corner on the left is a system key that can be hacked and there's a brown bag on a shelf on the left-hand side with $230 in it.
Once you've looted the place, head out the door and to the waypoint for another cutscene.
Objective: Sneak past the police
Head towards the end of the hallway and take cover before then corner, then use the minimap to watch the cops' movement. Keep an eye on the arrows so you can see which direction they're looking and take cover behind the boxes on the left.
Once it's safe, head to the large stack of boxes. From there you can hack the pitching machine on your left to distract the guard behind the boxes. On the right you should highlight the Attract object to get the other guy's attention, then run up the ramp to the left and over the dumpster. Activate Profiler to finish the objective.
Objectives: Hack the camera, follow the data flow to its source, unlock the door
You're about to hack a number of cameras, one after the other. You'll see a camera to your left that you should hack. Angle the camera to the left and up to see another camera and hack it. Move it to the left for a third camera to hack, and then look down to see and hack a data point.
Objective: Reach the upper level, throw lure to the designated area, use the lure to distract the cop
Go through the door you've just opened and pick up the parts on the table. You can now use these electronic parts to craft a lure in your weapon wheel. Toss the lure into the area and hack it to create your diversion.
Stay in cover but move over to the other counter and when the cop is distracted and looking the other way, head up the escalator and through the door. You can hack the camera above you and hack the phone on a person below to steal some cash from their bank account if you need some more money.
Go left under over of the counter and head around the corner and through the glass door while the guards are distracted. Head down the hall and you'll reach the next objective.
Objective: Find and hack the guard with the access code, hack into the stadium's network, create a blackout.
If you look through the glass door you'll see a camera in the ceiling of the other room. Hack into it and direct it straight ahead but slightly to the right. Take control of the new camera in your vision and wait for the chap in the gray jacket to finish his phone call. Now access his phone and get the access code.
Still using the camera, look to the left for a access point and shift to the floor below for another camera, Angle the camera up and the right for another hacking point. This gives you access to the stadium network. Now select the blackout option from the weapon wheel and head towards the glass door.
Objective: Escape the stadium
once the guards have moved away from the door, move through it and take cover on the left. Carefully make your way left when the guards are looking the other way and go through the door at the bottom. Continue through another set of doors and through the busy bar to the next objective.
Objective: Leave the police search area, reach your hideout
Go down the stairs and left down the street following the car locator waypoint. Inside the small garage you'll find a red car. Now access your map and you'll be able to see your hideout – the Owl Motel. Mark it as a waypoint and drive over there, but you'll need to avoid the cops on the way.
Cop cars are identifiable as flashing blue and red diamonds. Wait for them to pass by and then head out following the blue line (this is the direction activated by your minimap waypoint). The large white circle is the area that you need to drive outside of to shake the police.
You can escape the police by using the freeway and if there are any blockades set up you can wait in a nearby alley until the coast is clear. Hide in you car to make it harder for the cops to see you. Alternatively to can outrun the cops if you're feeling more confrontational.
Once you've left the police behind get to the Owl Motel and go upstairs to your hideout on the second floor. Access the skill tree and upgrade the Gates & Garages item. You can use remaining points as you see fit but it's best to focus on the Hacking skills very early on.

Marcelo Gallardo: "This doesn't take anything away from what we achieved"
River Plate's coach, Marcelo Gallardo, spoke to the media following his side's semi-final defeat in the Club World Cup at the hands of Al-Ain on penalties. Gallardo said his team weren't focused enough in the match against Al-Ain but that the defeat doesn't take anything away from their CONMEBOL Libertadores success nine days ago against Boca Juniors in the Santiago Bernabeu.
"The main issue was our focus on a similar stage after playing a match against a rival which, on paper, were weaker than us - but you have to show that out on the pitch," explained Gallardo. "We lacked a bit of determination."
The coach himself accepted part of the blame for that. "It's up to the coach that these thoughts don't come into play. What we achieved just over a week ago is huge and we are all in a happy place. However in these moments you must separate yourself from those feelings and put in the hard work for what was always going to be a dangerous match for us."
"It was the internal battle that some had. It's my role to make them focus in the best way possible but it was difficult for me too. Everything is a learning curve. Every defeat teaches you something," commented Gallardo. "A little over a week ago we made history and this shouldn't take anything away from what we achieved."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Most Florida voters had no problem casting a ballot on Election Day and many say they are confident their vote was correctly counted, a poll shows.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
More than nine in 10 respondents said they had no problems, other than having to wait in long lines, according to the Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
While 75 percent of voters described themselves as "very confident" or "somewhat confident" their vote was correctly counted, the degree of satisfaction varied between winners and losers, according to assistant poll director Clay Richards.
He said 95 percent of the Republicans quizzed said they were very or somewhat confident in the result, compared with only 58 percent of Democrats. President Bush carried the state with 52 percent of the vote over Sen. John Kerry.
Voter confidence sunk to an all-time low in Florida after the 2000 election resulted in a legal dispute that was ended by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"The fact that three out of four voters were very or somewhat confident their vote was counted (last month) shows a lot has changed in four years," Richards said.
The telephone poll of 1,039 registered Florida voters was conducted between Nov. 30 and Dec. 5 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

About Perky Pet
Founded in the 1958, Perky-Pet started as a supplier of pet and a few bird feeder products. The original location was in downtown Denver (presently known as ÂLoDoÂ) and housed a small workforce of little more than a dozen employees. As an interesting bit of trivia, Coors Field Baseball Park is now located in part, over the original building location.
Today, after almost fifty years and more than 100 employees later, Perky-Pet has developed into the leading supplier of Wild Bird Feeders and Accessories. From these years of experience, Perky-Pet is regarded as the leader in many areas.
In addition, Perky-Pet is concerned with the ultimate consumer of its products: WILD BIRDS! With this aim in mind Perky-Pet prides itself on being a:
WILD BIRD CITIZEN-In 1998, hurricane Mitch smashed into the Caribbean effectively flattening all natural hummingbird food sources. Working with a Conservation Center, Perky-Pet donated and air-shipped in over 40 large capacity hummingbird feeders and instant nectar to the devastated area. This provided a food source to thousands of hummingbirds, until their natural food supply could recover.
LOOKING AHEAD-Perky-Pet is developing the latest trends in feeders and accessories. Namely, the combining of garden art with the functional aspect of bird feeding. Finishes, materials, colors and designs will continue to change and Perky-Pet will lead the way in providing these products which will embody these desired aesthetics and functionality. With such brands as Colibri® and BirdScapesÂ, birding enthusiasts can look forward to a long line of exciting and innovative birding products. In addition, Perky-Pet will provide any and all resources to its customers to insure joint success at the product level.

How did you first get into pottery and making your own handmade pieces?
Since I can remember, I've been drawn to art and creating things with my hands. My first experience with pottery came in high school. By college, I left art to pursue my other love, music. I spent my college years delving deep into classical music and flute studies.
By my mid-twenties, I was feeling creatively stunted in my teaching job. After realizing that most of the cannabis accessories out there had a masculine or novelty quality about them, I decided I wanted to revisit pottery and make cannabis accessories for women. I found a kiln on Craigslist, built a table in my basement, and started experimenting with clay after work and on weekends. Two years later, I quit my teaching job to grow Wandering Bud full-time.
How did cannabis enter your lifestyle?
To be honest, it still is not a part of my day-to-day life since it is still illegal where I live. However, I feel passionately about legalization as I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2012. Cannabis brings symptom relief to so many with Crohn's and other ailments, and it just seems silly not to make that relief accessible to all.
where are you located? what is the cannabis stigma like there? is medical and/or recreational use legalized there? if not, do you see this changing? if so, how did this change come about?
I live in Kansas City, MO, which straddles the state line between Missouri and Kansas. It does seem to me like the stigma surrounding cannabis has changed for the better here in the last five years. While this is a conservative area of the country, the medicinal and financial benefits of cannabis are undeniable. Medicinal is on the ballot in Missouri this November, and I've felt a lot of excitement from the community about the vote. Volunteers have been canvasing and collecting signatures, and organizations like New Approach Missouri have really led that charge. I would be surprised if it doesn't pass. I'm excited to see what legalization looks like here with dispensaries popping up and old-school smoke shops evolving into classy cannabis boutiques.
can you tell the Lady Nowe tribe more about each piece?
All of my pieces are colorful, discreet, and fun, and no two are exactly the same. I make everything with my own two hands without the use of molds. Every piece is fired three times, with the last firing being for the 22k gold or pearl luster. My best sellers are the one hitters – the triangle shape is my favorite since it won't roll off the coffee table. My newest piece, the pyramid pipe, is the brain child of a snow day home from school in February. I've been having a lot of fun playing with glazes and luster designs on those larger pipes. I also offer rolling trays, ashtrays, joint holders, and stash jars.
What is your favourite one to make and to use?
The pyramid pipes are a lot of fun to make. They are my most complicated design, but because of that, it feels incredibly satisfying holding a finished pipe in my hand. I had been dreaming up larger pipe designs for months, so seeing that come to life has been so rewarding. The one hitters are probably my favorite to use since they can easily be tucked away inside a purse and travel well to legal states with me.
why is it important to you that modern woman have something classy to use?
I've always loved surrounding myself with beautiful things, and I believe most women feel the same. There's just something about wearing that new purse or necklace out that makes you feel pulled together. Enter the Bob Marley-inspired pipe. Those mental images don't fit. Smoking accessories are just that – accessories. They can make us feel powerful, beautiful, and strong if they are thoughtfully designed with a woman in mind.
what is the best way for others to contact and follow you and where do you currently sell your product?
I am most active on Instagram @wanderingbud, and I sell my product via my Etsy shop at wanderingbud.com. You can also find my pieces in about 15 retail locations throughout the US and Canada.
what else can we expect from Wandering Bud in the future?
My own website, in addition to my Etsy shop, will launch at the end of this year or early next year. I also have big plans for new products in the first half of 2019 – look for larger pieces like bongs to hit my online shop in early Spring.
any final words of wisdom, tips, info, etc?
I'm not sure how much wisdom I have to offer, but I can say I never thought I'd find myself here professionally. I come from a family of teachers and thought teaching would be my life's path. Things change. But I am lucky to have mostly supportive family and friends, and I've learned to grow some thick skin and brush off negative comments. I'm in a perpetual state of learning and plan to continue that path indefinitely. I've surprised myself with how willing I am to work late into the night and all weekend to get things done. It's easy when it doesn't feel like work.

Main Menu - Misc. - Clothing/Textiles - Medieval Wales - Names - Other Medieval - Publications - Harpy Publications
This is a collection of responses to questions about resources for early medieval personas -- covering roughly around the 7-11th centuries. I'll have a separate file for the "sub-Roman" era -- basically the few centuries after the end of Roman rule in Britain -- since I tend to point people in different directions for that period. A lot of the resources mentioned in the discussions below will apply equally to the whole range (to the extent that they apply to any of it), and there's likely to be a fair amount of repetition. All I've done here is to collect individual responses I've made to specific questions.
Question: I am trying to come up with a name for my early 7th century Welsh persona. I suppose that would stick me in Old Welsh, and I was wondering if it is correct to use 'merch' instead of 'ferch' -- I just want to be sure that I'm as accurate as possible. I looked in a history book about the rulers of Britain and I noticed that a lot of the rulers in Wales ca. 550 and thereabouts only listed one name. Were the authors just saving space by not sticking in full titles or is it period to have just one name for 600 A.D.? I know these are strange questions, but any help would be appreciated!
Answer: "Strange questions"? You have no idea how strange the questions are that some people send me! These are extremely normal.
The era you've picked is one that presents a lot of difficulties, particularly for women's names, simply because of the scarcity of sources. The major sources for Welsh personal names from this period are a handful of inscribed stones (primarily memorial stones, and pretty much all written in Latin), a collection of charters (with lists of witnesses) preserved in the Book of Llandav (the contents were re-copied at various later dates, but the 7-10th century spellings of the names were often preserved fairly well), and a very small number of other sources, such as legal records recorded in the margins of gospel books (e.g., a couple of records of this type in the gospels of St. Chad). At a slightly greater remove, we have historical annals, compiled at a later date in Latin, and translated into Welsh even later, that refer to various prominent figures from the time-period you're interested in. These can be somewhat useful for knowing what names may have been in circulation, although they're not useful for the specific early forms of names or the overall name formats. There are also some non-Welsh sources (e.g., the Anglo-Saxon chronicle and similar works) that refer to prominent Welsh people of the time. Even less reliable, although still useful, are genealogies and saints' lives compiled at various later dates that include mention of people alleged to have lived at the period you're interested in. Among these sources -- with the exception of the genealogies -- the number of women named from the period you're interested in can be counted on the fingers of one hand. This doesn't give us a lot to work with (and some of what we have is of questionable accuracy), but it's more than nothing.
Have you read my article titled "The First Thousand Years of British Names"? If you haven't, I'm going to suggest that you go look it over first. It covers a fairly broad scope of time (from the Roman era up through the turn of the millennium) so not all of it will be applicable to the period you're interested in, but it will give you a better "hands on" idea of the type of evidence we have to work with. A copy of the article is included in Arval's Medieval Names Archive.
To answer your immediate specific questions: the 7th century would be the early part of the Old Welsh period, in terms of language. I haven't found any examples of what the "daughter" word would look like in Welsh that early, but there's a probably 10th century example in a genealogy in the form "merc" that is probably close to how the word would have been written in your period. The pronunciation, however, would still be closer to the later medieval "verch" -- spelling took a while to catch up with the pronunciation changes in the language. In your period, the initial sound-changes (mutations) were not normally reflected in the written language, although they were present in the pronunciation. As far as the "one name only" pattern in history books, part of that comes from a difference in attitude towards "names" versus "identifying descriptions". To some extent, yes, a person's "name" was more likely to be thought of as just their given name at that period -- but if you wanted to be more clear about which Iudgual you were talking about, you would add the sort of identifying descriptions that we're used to thinking of as bynames: patronyms, personal nicknames, occupations, etc. History books generally get away with only using a single name because, once they've established the identity of the person you're talking about (by describing their date, location, parentage, etc.) they don't have to use a longer description for clear reference. It's not so much a matter of saving space as avoiding awkward repetition and unneeded information. If you're reading a history book about the early history of the USA, you'll find a lot of references simply to "Washington" and "Jefferson", but it certainly doens't mean that that was all there was to their names! In medieval historic narratives, you'll often find the pattern where the first time an individual is mentioned, you get a full genealogy and reference to place of residence and what territories (if any) the person ruled -- but after that the person is only referred to by their given name. It's much more a matter of literary style than of naming practices. (You find similar things in later medieval legal records: the first mention of a person is fairly detailed, and subsequent mentions in the same entry are only by given name.) In general, don't rely on how people are identified in history books for information on how their names would have been understood by their own contemporaries -- writers of history books have very different concerns and priorities (and may refer to people by versions of names that were never used in that person's lifetime).

(No current questions)
Question: I'm just wondering if any of you could reccomend me some information for 8-9th century Welsh history books or websites, I'm trying to develop a persona for myself.
Answer: It's a harder time-period to research than many. For the early medieval period, I tend to point people first towards Wendy Davies' "Wales in the Early Middle Ages" (Leicester University Press, 1982) which, unfortunately, seems to be out of print in the US, although it's still available in the UK. It'll give you a solid basis of history, social structure, and available sources to work from.
After that (and similar more general history books, like John Davies' A History of Wales from Penguin Books) you're going to find yourself hunting down obscure sources for snippets of information and extrapolating both backwards from later sources and sideways from non-Welsh sources. The richest source of surviving documentary evidence from that period (and it needs to be used with a fair amount of caution) are the charters compiled in the Book of Llan Dav. A good introduction to the historic and social issues around these is Wendy Davies' An Early Welsh Microcosm: Studies in the Llandaff Charters (Royal Historical Society, 1978). These charters are also our best source of information on Welsh personal names of the time.
You can get a certain amount of sideways feel for the period in Wales by looking at the earliest surviving heroic poetry: the Gododdin (although it isn't speaking of Wales, but rather of the northern Brythonic tribes in the south of Scotland), and the poetry attributed to Llywarch Hen and Taliesin. Poetry needs to be treated gingerly as historic source material, and there are questions around the date of the actual surviving texts of this material (since the form of the language in the surviving texts is much later than the alleged date of composition), but in terms of imagery and larger social issues and concerns, they can give you something of a working model.
You're going to find pretty much nothing directly available on the more perishable types of material culture (clothing, food, housing, etc.) although you may be able to turn up occasional archaeological reports including pottery, metalwork, etc. (one problem being that the scattered nature of Welsh settlement at that period means that sites are unlikely to have any significant concentrations of material). And for material culture issues, you may find yourself falling back on extrapolating from only slightly better documented Anglo-Saxon sources.

Question (from rec.org.sca, "the Rialto"): I am new to the SCA and I have chosen 10th Century Welsh and am having trouble finding the clothing and food and such of the time and all for that area, can anyone help me?
Answer: Despite the aforementioned difficulties, a good place to start is Dafydd Jenkins' edition of the law tracts, The Law of Hywel Dda (Gomer Press), which is quite readable although it helps to have some more general historic context to put the information into. Also as good background for the early medieval period (although much less useful for details of material culture) is Wales in the Early Middle Ages by Wendy Davies.
Question (same questioner on Sca-Welsh): I am looking for 10th cent welsh clothing and recipes, and tent and etc, I want to do a complete thing as authenic as possible, but I'm haveing trouble finding sources.
Answer: I don't have much to add to what I said on the Rialto on the same topic. You've picked a time and a place for which there isn't a lot of direct information. A great deal of your material culture is going to be based on vague or fragmentary references combined with extrapolations from neighboring cultures and best guesses (of greater and lesser degrees of informedness).
I mentioned in my Rialto post that a certain amount of information on clothing and food can be recovered from the law tracts -- although a certain amount of care needs to be used in assigning a particular date to the references. Information on food, at least in terms of available ingredients, can be found in archaeology reports that discuss plant and animal remains, as well as from secondary sources on agriculture. (The massive An Agrarian History of England and Wales is the sort of text that no doubt has lots of basic information, but takes a bit of work to sift it out.)
The topic of tents is a good example of the problems involved in this type of research. Several years ago, after someone asked a similar question on the Rialto, I did a bit of digging on exactly what information there is available on tents in Wales before 1600. To summarize, there is a fair amount of written evidence (starting in the 13th century, when we start getting significant numbers of surviving texts) that something loosely interpretable as tents (i.e., temporary, portable shelters, most likely involving fabric supported on a framework of poles) were in use in Wales, especially in military contexts. But there is essentially no information about what shape or structure these tents took. For that, your best bet would be to extrapolate from illustrated examples in manuscript art from the continent from around this period -- with the knowledge that the Welsh may have used entirely different styles. (The entire article is much too long to include in e-mail, and I can't figure out a good way of excerpting it.)
I don't mean this to sound discouraging -- heck, one of my sub-personas is 10th century (I drift a bit in time). Just that you've got a lot more work ahead of you to do a historically plausible persona than you would if you were working in, say, 15th century France. And even at the end of all that work, you're going to have a much lower level of certainty about what you're doing than that 15th c. French persona will have. But there sure is a lot of scope for feeling like you've accomplished something when you've gotten there!

Question: A friend of mine is interested in having a welsh persona. He is in the 11th century. What makes him different from an English man other than the language? Are Welsh clothes the same as English or were there things that -- when he stepped over the border -- someone would know at first glance that he was a Welshman? Would he be able to read and write ? Was the food all the same as England?
Answer: It's a difficult question to answer, mostly because the available sources are so few. Written sources for the 11th century consist of a handful of poetry, some historical chronicles, and a few miscellaneous things like land charters. In addition, you have works from a later date (mostly 13th century) which almost certainly date in some form from the 11th century or previous (e.g., a small number of literary tales and the law codes) but also include later material that must be sifted out. Then you have written sources from the 12th century (such as Giraldus Cambrensis and Walter Map), whose observations about Wales can be extrapolated backward to some extent. Archaeological evidence for this period does exist, although the impression I get is that it's rather scanty -- and getting at it generally requires reading through lots of obscure journals. Pictorial sources for 11th century Wales are virtually non-existant.
Yes, there were probably differences in clothing -- but what were they? In the 12th century, both Gerald and Walter seem to consider the use of the 'brychan' (a rectangular cloak) to be both characteristically and peculiarly Welsh, but Anglo-Saxon fashions could include a rectangular cloak, so it is less certain whether this would have comprised as significant a difference in the 11th century. Native Welsh sources tend to use generic words like 'pais' (tunic) or 'gwisg' (garment) that give no clue to the precise cut or style (and, indeed, change in application over the centuries).
For food, again our nearest, most detailed information comes from Gerald (who, among other things, describes meals as being served on a thin flat bread instead of on plates), but the laws have a surprisingly large amount of information on the types of food available. As to how different the food was from English food -- again, I don't think we know enough details of either to make strong claims (although the pair of books entitled Anglo-Saxon Food and Drink by Ann Hagen give a lot of useful comparative material from the English side).
Literacy is a question that cuts across all cultural boundaries at this period. Yes, there were literate people in 11th century Wales, but like everywhere else, they were a fairly small minority, and mostly consisted of people associated with the church.
A short starting reading list for this period might be:
But to apply the information here in a practical fashion to SCA artifacts and activities, you're also going to have to do a certain amount of extrapolating from other, better-documented cultures.

There's a good reason you might ask someone to take a deep breath when they seem anxious or overwhelmed. Breathing exercises have real effects on your body that help keep you calm and control your stress. And for people who get tension headaches or migraine, they can be a key part of treatment.
But are they any match for the intense pain of a cluster headache? While there haven't been studies to show it, some doctors think they're worth trying. After all, there's no harm, and it won't cost you a dime. All you need is a few minutes and attention to your breath.
Because the pain of cluster headaches is so severe, you may find it hard or impossible to do the exercises during one. Or, you may find they just don't give you any added relief. Even then, there's still a reason to try them.
Breathing exercises can lower anxiety. So if you worry about your next attack, they're a good tool to help you stay even and relaxed.
Setting the Stage
There are different types of breathing you can try. No matter which one you use, it helps to:
- Find a quiet space where you won't be bothered.
- Sit down and get comfy.
- Let go of your worries for a few minutes.
It's also best to set aside time for it each day. This regular practice will train your body to fall into the breathing more easily when you need it. If you only do it when you're in pain, it'll be much harder to really sink into it.
And keep in mind that these exercises are no substitute for medicine. They're something to use along with your normal treatment.
Deep Breathing
When you're stressed and anxious, you tend to take shorter breaths than usual. This exercise helps you reset. The aim is slow, deep, and steady breaths:
- Put your focus on your belly button. You might even want to put a hand there to help.
- As you breathe in through your nose, pull the air into your belly. Feel it expand as you fill up your lungs.
- Breathe out through your nose with a long, slow breath. Pull your belly in as you empty out your lungs. You can even think to yourself, "Relax."
With each full, deep breath, your nervous system takes it down a notch.
Rhythmic Breathing
If your breathing style is usually short and fast, this exercise will help you slow it down a bit:
- Breathe in slowly through your nose as you count to five.
- Breathe out slowly through your nose as you count to five.
- Repeat and see if you can feel yourself relax with each breath.
As you notice yourself getting calmer, you give your body feedback that helps you relax even further.
Visualized Breathing
For this one, you combine breathing with pictures in your mind:
- Get comfortable, close your eyes, and just breathe normally.
- As you breathe in through your nose, picture calming air that fills up your lungs and expands your chest and belly. Imagine you're breathing in more and more relaxation.
- As you breathe out, picture pushing the tension out right along with your breath.
- Repeat, breathing in calm and out tension.
Oxygen Therapy
While deep breathing may not solve your cluster headaches, breathing pure oxygen might. First used for migraine, it's now very common for cluster headaches, too. It's pretty simple, and there are no side effects.
When the pain comes on, you breathe in oxygen through a special mask connected to a tank. Your doctor will tell you what rate of oxygen you need to take in. Studies show that 15 liters per minute works the best. Some doctors may start lower and dial it up as needed. You typically use it for about 15 minutes when the headache first comes on.
It tends to work well at curbing your symptoms but it does have some drawbacks. Because some studies on oxygen therapy showed mixed results, not all insurance companies pay for it. You also need an oxygen tank. That limits where you can use it, though you might be able to get a small one to take on the go.
Oxygen also comes with a fire risk. You definitely can't smoke or be around people who do while you use it. And it's usually not a treatment you can use if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Analysts at Noble Capital Markets have set an outperform rating and $1.50 price target on Great Panther Mining Corp. (TSX:GPR) (NYSE:MKT) shares in a note published in the wake of the firm's second quarter production results.
In aggregate, Great Panther's second quarter production increased by 195% to 39,922 gold equivalent ounces versus the prior year period and was up 197% compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Noble's analysts pointed out that the significant increase in gold production reflected the firm's acquisition of the Tucano Gold Mine in March 2019.
Based on the higher production and commodity price expectations, they said they have increased their full year 2019 earnings per share (EPS) and underlying earnings (EBITDA) estimates for Great Panther to $0.01 and $39.3 million from $0.00 and $37.6 million, respectively.
Their full year 2020 EPS and EBITDA estimates have been increased to $0.14 and $90.8 million from $0.06 and $66.1 million, respectively, the analysts added.
Based on the results of a bulk sample program, the Noble analysts noted that Great Panther also expects to advance the Coricancha mine project to production.
They said that, assuming development work commences at the beginning of 2020 and following six months of development, that mine is expected to restart mid-year 2020.
The analysts concluded: "In our view, the company is making significant progress toward integrating the recently acquired Tucano mine into its portfolio.
"Because Tucano's production profile is weighted toward the second half of the year, the equity could gain more investor interest as earnings growth becomes more visible."
Great Panther shares were trading on Thursday at $0.95 each.

text: obalanga 0 Posted October 23, 2015 I tried buying a small car the other day. The insurance qoute came to £2300. I live in a crappy area granted, but the quote was £3000 ten years ago. This was regardless how cheap a car I was buying or whether it was 3rd party or not. If one option is to move, which is an expensive thing in itself, I will lose any savings to higher rents. Insurance companies conveniently disregard that with the higher mortality rates of being on a bike, comes the need to be better on the road, more observant, anticipatory and defensive. All good things you would think. If you use a motorway you, you do alot of miles and thus a higher risk. If you do short journeys, you are probably doing town driving and some one is likely to drive out of a side street into you ergo, highers risk. All roads lead to " drop your pants, bend over and think happy thoughts". We are also told that insurance companies haven't made money in a decade due to higher claims. Can i get lower premiums if I put a warning sticker on my dash warning ye of weak necks not to enter my car if you value your neck as my insurance will not pay out for whiplash....in small print and language only a laureate could understand. And mechanics who give quote (to the insurance) £4500 to replace the ignition on a car that has been broken into, and ohhhh, the car was only worth£1000. And don't forget, they can now use second hand parts to fix your car. Afew years ago, some blokes tried lowering mens' premiums by arguing in court gender discrimination as women paid lower premiums. Result... Womens' premiums went up. That was a decision purely based on risk one poses I suppose and not shareholder stake. Well, I will just dig out my winter riding apparel and hope everyone else on the road had a nice day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irving Penn: The sorcerer who sought the truth behind the facade
Now in his 60s, Mikhail Baryshnikov, has embarked on a third career, as a photographer.
Ballet came first, then his acting years, then, from last year, he began to show his photographic work in art galleries.
Speaking with the press about ŌĆśDancing AwayŌĆÖ, his exhibition in a London gallery late last year, Baryshnikov acknowledged that the great 20th century photographer, Irving Penn, was one of his main inspirations.
The photos of Penn and Baryshnikov have little in common yet thereŌĆÖs a dance bond between the two men. While Penn is best known for his fashion photos, his portraits of dancers (including Baryshnikov), of artists and actors are more illuminating and intimate, revealing so much more of his subjects than is possible within the commercial world of creating images that are, after all, designed to sell clothes.
Penn took the view that ŌĆ£sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is one they would like to show the world. …Very often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believeŌĆØ.
For her obituary of Penn, published in The Guardian in October 2009, the writer Amanda Hopkinson recalled the time that the French writer, Colette, then 80, was photographed by Penn in 1951.
ColetteŌĆÖs husband, Maurice Goudeket, described PennŌĆÖs portrait: ŌĆ£He took a stupefying photograph. It discloses all that Colette wished to conceal and of which she was no doubt ignorant about herself. In reality it was the hidden person we all have in us. A great portraitist ŌĆō they are very few ŌĆō is a sort of sorcerer who sees beyond resemblanceŌĆØ.
Just look at PennŌĆÖs portraits of Picasso, Nureyev and Ingmar Bergman to see the sorcery at work.
The ŌĆ£hidden personŌĆØ of his dance subjects were not so revelatory, yet there are insights that allow us to see more than we can in more conventional shots of his subjects, among them Baryshnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, George Balanchine, Maria Tallchief and Merrill Ashley as well as the 1940s stars of Ballet Theatre (now American Ballet Theatre).
Born in New Jersey in 1917, Penn first worked in an unpaid capacity for HarperŌĆÖs Bazaar before he was commissioned to rethink the advertising strategy for the New York department store, Saks Fifth Avenue.
Soon after, he spent a year painting in Mexico, a time that he later claimed ŌĆ£gave him much of his insight into devising the starkness of lighting and simplicity of form that became two of his signal characteristicsŌĆØ, as Hopkinson wrote in her obituary.
Penn then became an assistant to VogueŌĆÖs art director, Alexander Liberman and his first work for the magazine was a still life of a glove, belt and purse, published on the cover of the October 1943 issue.
PennŌĆÖs 1980 book, Worlds in a Small Room, showed yet another aspect of his life and interests in a series of portraits taken during his travels through many countries, including Nepal, Cyprus, Morocco, Papua New Guinea and Cameroon.
The book included portraits of HellŌĆÖs Angels and hippies that Penn took in San Francisco in the 1960s ŌĆ£age of AquariusŌĆØ.
Penn was still working in 2006 (three years before his death), when he photographed the Australian model, Gemma Ward, for Vogue.
They are remarkably beautiful portraits and itŌĆÖs even more remarkable that his sorcery was as evident then as it was in his 1964 portrait of another beauty, Audrey Hepburn.
Baryshnikov said he hoped his dance photos would allow the viewer ŌĆ£to see, to be able to imagine, the movement before and after, not just the frozen momentŌĆØ.
Penn might have captured many a frozen moment, but in those moments we can imagine the movement within, just as we can sense the magical connection between the photographer and his subjects.
Scroll down for more images, including Colette, Gemma Ward, Audrey Hepburn, Penn's first Vogue cover, Baryshnikov and a photo by Baryshnikov.
