Девочка Маша сидела в зале на диване, мягком, удобном, и большом. Играть ей больше не хотелось, а мультик не хотел начинаться. И вдруг, откуда не возьмись пред ней из пустого места не косаясь пола возник полуобнажённый мужчина лет тридцати/тридцати-пяти. Блаженными глазами он разглядел Машино тело, на его губах появилась улыбка, и он поднёс свою правую руку к своей бороде и почесал себя.
Машенька быстро заметила на руке стигмату - дырку размером в большой палец той-же руки. На противоположной руке кто-то другой мог-бы наблюдать её аналог, но Маша не видила его, так как тот была отведён в сторону. Данная поза совершенно не остановила Машу от произнесённой фразы «А у вас в руках дырки», ведь кровь сочилась из обоих, безцеремонно капая на пол.
«Простите, а вы кто?» задала вопрос девочка, смотря незнакомцу прямо в глаза. «Я всё» ответил он, вызвав полусекундную паузу и затем утверждение «Непонятно». «Я - это всё», повторил он выделяя слова «я» и «всё» кивками головы вперёд а затем назад. «Вы мультик?» «Нет» обрезал её человек и на трёх дыханиях добавил: «Я твой Бог». «Почему?» спросила Маша используя всего одно. Фраза «Потому что Я твой Бог» с акцентом на слово «Я» повергла комнату в тишину, девочка и незнакомец смотрели один другому в глаза. В конце девочка улыбнулась и спросила... «Почему?»
«Ты должна меня любить» продолжал незнакомец, совершенно игнорируя тот факт, что это не продолжало старую, а начинало совершенно новую тему. «А за что?» поинтересовалась Машенька, и получила пародоксально грустный ответ не смотря на свою смехотворность «Я твой отец». Маша начала хихикать и, как могут только дети, вытянула слово «Нееееет» и продолжила «вы совсем не похожи на моего папу». «Я не папа, я отец» попытался проконстатировать незнакомец, переведя Машино хихиканье в смех. «Это-же одно и тоже, вы что не знаете?» ... Незнакомец грозно уставился на Машу, это вызывало у неё только более сильный смех, и это вызывало у него только большую уставленность.
«Ты, тупая тварь, такие тривиальные вещи так просто отвергать» протараторил незнакомец с дырками, что вызвало очевидное повышение кровеного давления и капли начали капать на пол в такт его слов. Маша перестала смеяться, чуть чуть нахмурилась и посмотрев на незнакоца сказала «Если вы будете ругаться, то я не буду с вами разговаривать.» Капли крови больше не капали. Лились почти струёй.
«Сука, я-же сосдал вас всех, скоты, сволочи, пидарасы» сказал он и его ноги в первый раз коснулись пола. «Пожалуйста, уходите» попросила Машенька.
«Прокленаю, стерва, умри ты рано и гори» ревел он, пердя, рыгая, и сворачиваясь в клубок на полу. «Я Иисусс, славься слово моё сегодня и навсегда» простонал сквозь зубы сам бог, и больше ничего не было слышно.
Через несколько секунд в комнате уже сидела только девочка Маша, начался мультик, и в мире стало одним богом меньше.

Очень часть я слышу аргумента, что якобы гомосексуальность (или трансгендерность) - это результат психологической травмы человека. Здесь я пытаюсь разобраться, как вообще можно начинать думать об этом аргументе (если его так можно назвать).
Но, как должно быть очевидно каждому, этот аргумент совершенно идиотический.

Non‐hierarchical groups sometime create a hierarchical superstructure, and become subservient to a small clique of people who can unilaterally overrule the decisions of the group as the whole. Here i discuss one option of how to oppose such things, but hope to actually hear about alternative ways of dealing with such situations.

Revolutionary greetings!
We are all aware of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, and as anarchists we all have said one thing or another on this subject. I myself have previously voiced my criticism of those, who are fighting on the side of Russia or Ukraine in this conflict, and many other comrades have done the same. In this episode i want to make my position a little clearer, i do not wish to back‐pedal on what was said before, nor do i want to start the conflict within us. However, we need to go beyond saying what is obvious and try to understand more exactly the nature of our relationship to this conflict.
Specifically in this episode i want to contrast the anarchists and antifascists who are fighting on the side of Ukraine and those who are fighting for Russia. I believe that enough comparison and looking for similarities was done already, and what i say here should only be understood as the addition to that discussion, rather than the substitute for it.
To briefly summarise what is already known at this point. After the Euro Maidan protests, which had significant problems associated with them, but yet had the popular sector as well, Ukraine's president has ran away from the country, within days Russian troops have began taking control of Crimean peninsula, and within months a referendum, controlled by the government of Russia was held, which was used as the pretence to annex that territory. At the same time military and police agents have crossed the border into the Eastern Ukraine and have started the uprising with the goal of inclusion of that territory as a part of Russia. Local people were a part of those uprisings, but were originally never a part of the top leadership. At that time the Right Sector, a large portion of which identify as "national socialist", have became a reasonably strong force within Western and Central Ukraine. Ukraine has eventually started an offensive on the positions of the pro‐Russia fighters in Eastern Ukraine and have began using USA‐like tactics of indiscriminate bombings of the population. At this time some anarchists and antifascists have began actively joining the fighting forces. Some have joined the Ukrainian military in its attempts to kick the Russian imperialist army from Ukraine, others went with the pro‐Russian rebels attempting to fight the fascists.
Antti Rautiainen in the article "The End of Antifa?" has done a great job explaining why joining either dichtomic side in this conflict is counterproductive. But even in that article there was no attempt at analysing the differences between those who fight for Ukraine and those on the side of Novorossia.
Although every conflict is unique, we can still draw a lot of guidance from looking at the history of the anarchist movement and seeing how anarchists have dealt with the issue of choosing the side in a war of the governments. Some will speak of the World War II, others remember the Free Territory or Makhnovschina, while others may take the chronologically middle route and inspect the role of anarchists in the Spanish revolutionary war. Let's look at all three while asking the following questions: What decisions in respect to nationalism were made? Were these decisions strategic or tactical in nature? What analogies can we draw with today's conflict?
Free Territory (Makhnovschina)
The first thing to understand about the Free Territory of Ukraine is that it was driven primarily by the Platformism and by charisma of several individuals, who were leading the people through it. Nestor Makhno was a brilliant tactician, but he was not a political philosopher. Much of what he did was out of the position of necessity, but that was in part why Free Territory has survived for so long. The question was never "What will make me appear the most radical?" but rather "What will give the greatest freedom and stability in Free Territory right now?" Makhno had no problems making temporary pacts and alliances with nationalists if that allowed the army of Makhno to receive less casualties. These were tactical steps, but strategically and ideologically some things were never done. Anti‐Semitism for example was always an offence within the ranks of the army, that has carried the death penalty. Bolsheviki were a group that Makhno saw in much of the same way as nationalists, uniting with them temporarily, but never allowing oneself to become a part of their structure. Where the interactions with Leninists and nationalists was different, it could have been caused by the fact that both were drawing from the same crowd to some extent. Although Platformism at that time has never matured enough to be appealing to the urban population. One group that was always on the opposite side of the barricades from Makhno were the armies of the foreign powers that came into Ukraine (regardless of their ideologies). The reason for that was not some appeal to nationalism, but a much simpler rational: A foreign power has no intention of helping the people on the annexed territory, the only goal of such power is to benefit its central hub at the expense of the population of its satellites.
Spanish revolution
In Spain the interaction with nationalists was more complex. There were Spanish Nationalists, who were fascists. And there it is unknown if there even could have been much alliance building, even if one of the sides wanted it tactically. The fascists of Spain did not hide the fact that they were not content on any portion of the country, they needed the whole thing for their political survival. But there was another nationalist group, which was actively helped by anarchists and republicans. Even as the fighting was taking place within Spain, they were supporting Ethiopian nationalists who were fighting against the invading forces of Italy. In this case there was absolutely no tactical advantage to Spanish anarchists to do this, the only thing that drove that was the question of ideology and perhaps minor strategic gains.
Large numbers of anarchists, antifascists, and republicans went to fight on the side of the Republic or syndicalists. The goal of those who went was to support the self‐determination of the local population, and not to subdue it into one government or another.
The strategic position in dealing with nationalism during the Spanish Revolutionary War seems to be the differentiation between different kinds of nationalism. The fascism of Franko was dealt with in a completely different way than the fight against the external invasion by another country.
World War Ⅱ
The role of anarchists in WWⅡ is somewhat smaller than it could have been. In the USA, all those who have opposed fascism before the start of the war were labelled "premature antifascists" and could not participate in combat. In Britain many anarchists engaged in the anti‐draft advocacy, and many were sent to prison because of that. In USSR by that time the only anarchist organisation large enough to speak about was the group of Tolstoyan anarchists in Moscow, who have voiced their opposition to the draft policies of Stalin and were swiftly destroyed by the government apparatus. It is not to say that individual anarchists and antifascists did not participate in that war, undoubtedly they did, but they did not do it as any kind of solid unit or at the very least they are not remembered any longer.
German Nazi army did, however, use some anarchist symbolism when they were retreating from the Ukraine near the end of the war. They have set up black battalions who would claim to be the ideological descendants of Makhnovschina, but they had no link to the anarchist movement nor held any of the same philosophical standards.
Where does it take us?
Throughout the history, when anarchists have individually joined the armed forces in the intergovernmental armed conflict their contribution has made little difference at the end. And in fact it might have contributed to the destruction of the segments of the anarchist movement that were working against militarisation of the society. But if we talk about a massive support to some side of the fight, then anarchists of the past have shown time after time that it makes little sense to support any external army invading another territory for the purposes of annexation. It is an ideological and philosophical position, which is backed up by the strategic benefits. However, joining the 'legitimate' side of the conflict is wrong for different reasons, those are normally tactical in nature, but sometimes are upgraded to the level of strategy.
Anarchists and antifascists that are joining the Ukrainian side are making the mistake in their strategy and tactics. There is little chance that their contribution will change the political landscape in Ukraine even if it manages to kick out the Russian army. On the other side those who are fighting on the side of Russia are not only wrong strategically for the very same reasons, but they are committing a very strong ideological back‐step by supporting a force that is attempting to annex the territory. At no previous time in history have antifascist volunteers joined the imperialist forces that tried to expand their borders, and there is a very good reason for that; it goes against the very essence of the libertarian antifascist position.
In closing i wish to say that my goal is not to excuse one side because the other is "more wrong". However, the consequences of the actions do need to be measured carefully in these things. And my hope is that those who are making the stands that i consider problematic will either begin an active dialogue with the larger movement, explaining their positions, or end their problematic behaviour and attempt to undo some of the damage done already.

Revolutionary greetings,
Contemporary anarchism exists at the intersection of several movements that oppose oppression: anti-capitalism, antifascism, anti-racism, ecological movement, feminism, free speech advocates, lgbt activism, etc. Having said that, being a member of those movements does not automatically excuse any and all actions of the people. We should criticise ourselves, because only then can we move forward.
Recently i have come across the news about antifa people helping out with Russian conquest of Eastern Ukraine and defending their position by claiming that they do so to oppose the spread of fascism in the occupied territory; here i will attempt to explain the fallacy of such position. The antifa group in question calls itself "8th International Brigade Carlos Palomino", however this is not going to be a critique of their specific actions nor will i attempt to talk about their tactic, rather i will express my opposition to the entire strategy chosen.
The very first thing that we need to recognise about Russian occupation of South and Eastern Ukraine is that it has nothing to do with opposition to fascism in that country. Russian government has zero-tollerance to any opposition to pro-Russian nationalist, pro-Russian racialist, or pro-Russian imperialist ideas. Antifascists are commonly labeled as terrorists and thrown in jail, one of the best recent examples of that is Alexandr Kolchenko, who was arrested in Crimea and accused of plotting terrorist acts in an obviously made up case, his real crime was that his antifascism was directed against pro-Russian fascists who were in the area.
Which brings me to the next point, that Russia doesn't only lack any drive to oppose fascism, but it actively supports fascists and fascist ideologies on the territories that it controls. Slavic Union (aka SS), the russian neo-nazi group, has long been rumored to volunteer in much of south and east ukraine. Cossacks, who have traditionally been the most racist of the Russian force groups, are given complete carte blanche in their behaviour in the occupied territories.
And even within Russia-proper police often refuse to even listen to the claims about attacks by racists, and are often too busy with checking the papers of anybody who doesn't look like a russian. Although Russia criticises Ukraine for attempting to promote Ukranian language, i would challange anybody in Russia to find the country-wide TV or Radio station that broadcasts in anything other than Russian.
The laws that deal with the rights of minorities in Russia have been discussed to death already; but now in the occupied territories it is only getting worse. In Lugansk 2-5 year sentence for homosexual sex have recently been approved, and in some cases it can be upgraded to death penalty. In Crimea the Russian government officials have vowed to have no public visibility for LGBT people. And although Kremlin often tries to claim that it just supports the wishes of the local people, whatever those are; it openly destroys any sort of action that does not further its imperialist agenda.
What Russia has become good at, is painting a picture of itself as a fighter against USA and fascism. This has drawn some people to mistakenly conclude that in order to oppose US imperialism and neo-nazism they need to show some sort of support to Russia. Such propaganda model in part is based on that of the United States, and it is very strange how so many people fail to recognise the similarities. Russia today is declaring to the world "You are either with us or with the terrorists!" and the same people who were criticising such idiotic dichotomies just years ago, completely accept them now.
So what are the reasons why Russian forces are now in Ukraine? The answer is relatively simple, Ukraine has managed to kick the pro-Russian corrupt president Yanukovich out of the country. That ex-president actually managed to build himself a personal zoo on his manssion, he has sucked the money from the same regions that today are apparently fighting to join Russia. But even though the people managed to kick out the president, they were unable to resist the military invasion by Russia, and that was due to the long time that Ukraine was an openly neutral country. The military in Ukraine simply cannot stand up against Russian one, because Ukraine has depended on USA, Russia, and UK to protect its borders, two of these countries are refusing to do anything except sanctions and one of them is actively working towards the occupation.
In this situation it is of course easy to jump on the bandwaggon of the side that is most likely to win the fight. But just like no feminist in the right mind has defended the US invasion of Afghanistan, should no antifascist support Russia in its attempt to annex territory after territory from Ukraine.
None of the above should be taken to mean that i believe no nazis are in Ukraine. I know that there are, and i know that in some parts the fascist movement is a big problem. I also know that i give fully support to Russian people who would want to fight against right wing take-over. However, the fight to prevent the rise of fascism in Ukraine should not become the fight to further Russia's imperialism, and it should be lead by Ukranian people themselves; and until the Russian invasion Ukraine was actually doing a much better job at it, than Russia has.

Cayden loves theme parks and football. His favorite team is the Green Bay Packers, and he always wanted to visit Disney World and Universal Studios. Kids Wish Network flew him and his family to Orlando, Florida for his great Disney adventure.
Cayden suffers from chronic immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), an autoimmune disease that prevents his body from producing platelets in his blood. This condition prevents any injuries he receives from healing fully without medical intervention. He had his wish revealed during the super bowl. Not only did Cayden get a trip to experience Orlando theme parks but the Green Bay Packers sent him a special care package. He especially loved the football signed by the entire team, and the autographed photo from his favorite player Aaron Rodgers.
During his wish trip, Cayden and his family stayed at The Residence Inn located in downtown Orlando. They were greeted by the hotel staff and were surprised with gifts and a decorative football field goal with balloons set up in his room. After settling in, they explored the Sea Life Aquarium and had an absolute blast.
The next day, Cayden explored Disney World, and enjoyed park hopper passes to visit all four Disney parks. They first went to Magic Kingdom where Cayden got to meet Mickey and Minnie and rode tons of classic Disney rides. His favorites were the new Avatar ride and Space Mountain. Later that night they had dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. Cayden spent the next day Disney hopping between the different parks and meeting all his favorite characters. After his last day at Disney, they had a wonderful outdoor dinner at Bahama Breeze.
After his magical time at Disney, Cayden and his family went to Universal Studios where they were provided fast passes for all the exciting rides. Cayden got to meet and take a photo with his favorite X-Man Wolverine. That night they enjoyed a fun dinner and bowling experience at Splitsville to end Cayden's wonderful wish.
Kids Wish Network would like to thank the following sponsors for making Cayden's dreams become a reality:
- Green Bay Packers
- The Residence Inn Downtown Orlando
- Splitsville
- Long Horn Steakhouse
- Bahama Breeze

The US just dropped a 21,600-pound conventional bomb called the Massive Ordinance Air Blast AKA the "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) in Afghanistan, but Russia has a bigger one.
The "Father of All Bombs," (FOAB) is four times bigger than the MOAB. It's a thermobaric bomb with a destruction radius of nearly 1,000 feet and a blast yield of nearly 44 tons of TNT.
Thermobaric weapons differ from conventional bombs in that they combine with atmospheric oxygen to greatly extend the blast radius.
Developed in 2007, the FOAB explodes in midair, igniting a fuel-air mixture. It vaporizing targets and collapses structures, producing blasts and aftershocks as powerful as a small nuclear blast but without the same radioactive fallout.
Watch the FOAB explode here:

Georgetown is where to go if you want to feel like the grunge movement never ended. You'll find industrial dive bars, lots of graffiti, and maybe even the occasional tumbleweed. We wouldn't have it any other way. Especially because there are a ton of great spots to grab a meal or a drink here while feeling just a little bit punk - even though you might be wearing Sperrys and jeans that someone else ripped on purpose in a factory.
Tu Cantinas
All your friends are going to try to bully you into doing your Georgetown taco-eating at Fonda La Catrina, but be strong - that's not where you want to go. Tu Cantinas is a hole-in-the-wall taqueria that you might not have ever never heard of, and it has the best Mexican food in the neighborhood by far. Come here for margaritas and incredible $3 tacos with thick tortillas made fresh to order.
Star Brass Lounge
Star Brass Lounge is a low-key dive bar with solid, inexpensive bar food. Packed with locals and serving excellent local beer, it's one of the best spots in Georgetown to spend a few hours. The double-tavern burger is great, the homemade pretzel platter with beer cheese, apples, grapes, and a crispy-grilled brat is a solid deal at $10, and we could tear through the fried cod bites like popcorn at the movies. Come with friends for drinks and dinner before a night out.
Sisters And Brothers
Sisters and Brothers knows their sh*t when it comes to Nashville-style hot chicken. Sit at the table that doubles as a Ms. Pac Man machine, get some Southern-inspired side dishes (like the smoked gouda mac and cheese with bacon), and keep in mind that just like in Nashville, the spice levels here are slightly skewed. As in, the "mild" will absolutely clear out your sinuses.
The Corson Building
You might not expect to find one of the most romantic spots in Seattle under a highway near some train tracks and a baseball diamond, but that's exactly where the Corson Building is. This restaurant in an early-20th-century home has everything you could possibly want for celebrating a relationship milestone: candles, a garden veranda with string lights, excellent service, a fancy American menu that changes daily, and a Sunday tasting menu. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but they also host weddings here.
Once you get past the slightly disconcerting wall mural featuring part-satanic, part-whimsical characters like a demonic cat wearing a rugby sweater, eating dinner at Ciudad is actually very pleasant. Come with a few friends and share marinated and charcoal-grilled meats, as well as flatbreads, mezze, and five-spice mojitos.
Calozzi's Cheesesteaks
It's hard to find, it's not much on the inside, and there's a good chance you'll trip up the front step like we did, but the little shack on the side of the road known as Calozzi's Cheesesteaks will take care of any craving you might have to visit Philadelphia. Their cheesesteaks are made with pencil-shaving-thin slices of beef piled so high that you'll have to dust some off in order to fit the sub in your mouth, and while the meat can be on the dry side, the flavor is great. Always add fried onions, and get the cheese whiz as long as you're wearing clothes you'd normally paint in.
The Woods
The Woods is a warehouse-style taproom connected to Two Beers Brewing Company. It's a great place to play darts, foosball, hand shuffleboard, and billiards - and as a plus, the staff is super friendly. It also doubles as the tasting room for the Seattle Cider Company, so you can drink varietals here that you won't find in the back of the refrigerator case at QFC. Spend a few hours at The Woods with your friends and their dogs, and try some beer mac and cheese or a burger from Bread & Circuses (the popular food truck has a brick-and-mortar location in-house).
Ellenos Greek Yogurt
You already knew that you could find Ellenos Greek Yogurt at Pike Place Market and literally any QFC or Safeway, but now you know they have a brick-and-mortar shop in Georgetown, too. The difference is that this place scoops their yogurt like it's ice cream. They also offer toppings as varied as mango puree (our favorite), caramel, lemon curd, and mocha.
Via Tribunali Georgetown
Your best bet for a sit-down Italian meal in Georgetown is going to be Via Tribunali. It's a great pick if, for instance, you want to celebrate your birthday dinner in a space that feels like a cathedral - and the charred Neapolitan pizzas here won't disappoint anyone in your group. Get the D.O.C. margherita and add the piccante salame.
Lowercase Brewing
Lowercase Brewing is a cozy little neighborhood spot for beer, board games, Wednesday night trivia, and snacks like charcuterie boards and free popcorn. Inside, it looks like a cross between a college dorm common room and the lobby lounge of a high-rise meant for millenials - which means there's a nice long wooden bar, benches topped with decorative pillows, and plenty of tables for playing jenga. The staff is friendly and the space is versatile, so it would be a great spot to hold a meeting for your book club.

'I'm devastated but there are a hell of a lot of people worse off than me' - Walters reflects on injury
PUBLISHED: 13:45 27 September 2018 | UPDATED: 14:40 27 September 2018
© Copyright Stephen Waller
Jon Walters is remaining in positive mood despite suffering an achilles injury which will keep him sidelined for six months and end his second spell at Ipswich Town.
The club revealed yesterday that the 35-year-old will be out for six months after suffering a partial achilles rupture in Saturday's draw with Bolton.
He will be sidelined until the scheduled end of his loan in January, with the striker returning to parent club Birmingham for treatment.
He leaves Ipswich having made just three appearances during his second spell with the club.

"I'm naturally devastated with the news about my Achilles injury," he wrote on Twitter.
"However bad things may seem at the time, in the grand scheme of life it's just an insignificant bump and there's a hell of a lot of people worse off than me. Thank you to @Official_ITFC physios for the great care."
Speaking today, Hurst said: "He had been and seen the specialist and had seen him a couple of years previously and got images and evidence to show the Achilles had been in much better shape than he had before.
"There was never a thought he could go on the pitch and make it worse, so it was a shock in that sense.

"I don't think there's anyone to be held accountable and unfortunately these things do happen. As much as he have medical teams and sports science and all of that, the top teams have it and still get injuries so it's not the be-all and end-all. It hopefully helps.
"In this case you have to put it down as one of those things."

What I Learned from a Social Media Detox
Photo Credits to Pixabay for social media image
I went on a social media detox. Initially my detox was intended for 30 days. But when I dropped my phone (again), this time I really damaged it and needed a new one. When the data transferred over, my social media apps didn't. 3 weeks went to 4. 5 weeks went to 6, then 7, then 8. This is what I learned in the 60 days.
Weeks 1 & 2:
The beginning was bizarre. I found myself picking up my phone for no apparent reason. Initially I felt like I was punishing myself. I wondered what my friends were doing and what my colleagues were posting. I experienced guilt that I was not commenting or sharing posts from people in my circle. From a business perspective, I felt irresponsible that I was not responding to comments on my posts that were prescheduled with a social media management tool. My posts were still going up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, and my anxiety increased that the algorithms were being affected by inactivity. I admit that I found myself taking a quick sneak peak at my notifications and scrolling through pictures, but I quickly closed the window when I felt like I was somehow cheating.
Weeks 3 & 4:
My morning ritual used to be that I would scroll through feeds and click on notifications. Once I went through the initial stage of withdrawl, I found myself using that time to meditate and visualize what I wanted my day to look like. When the kids woke up, I was in a better mental state, ready to tackle my day. My absence from social media became easier. This is when I dropped my phone and didn't bother putting the apps back on. I admit that there were times where I enjoyed social times with friends, but taking our pictures and posting them was no longer a priority. I valued the time with them and didn't need to post about it.
Week 5 & 6:
People reached out saying, "Gaby, why have you been so quiet?" I had many reasons, too many to list. Ultimately, I needed to focus on my family, my health and unfinished projects. I felt that social media was taking away precious time that I needed to complete my objectives. I made the decision to take the hiatus for my well being and I was finally gaining momentum in my life. I was starting to make progress and my attention span was increasing. Living with a disability can be very challenging at times, but I finally felt like I could focus.
Week 7:
By now, I was able to regain my positive mental state. I completed projects that were lingering and planned for new ones. I was able to keep a clear head and operate at full capacity for my children. I didn't miss the spammers, complainers or inappropriate posts. I did however miss the community and connection. Being part of a social connection can lower anxiety and help us regulate our emotions and improve psychological well-being.
I apologize to my friends and network for being absent in your exciting posts. I have recalibrated and am slowly making time to be online again. I admit that I couldn't help to enjoy how much more productive I was.
There was a time where I went through an overwhelming feeling of needing to post pictures within a day of the event and causing myself to be stressed. I ask myself now, but why? I can still post the pictures, but on my schedule. So, if you see images from an event you joined me in several months ago, you will be reminded of how much fun we had. (and thank you for understanding on the late post!)
I no longer feel the urge to be constantly tapped in. I have turned off my notifications and ensure that I hop on social media when time permits, and my daily objectives have been achieved. If you decide to take your own social media detox, I am optimistic that you will experience a greater outlook on how you will manage your time and declutter your mind. I feel grateful that I was able to take this break as it gave me extreme clarity and the ability to manage my time better.
What made me return to social media? I actually think that social media is a good thing. In my case, in moderation. I want to log on when I want to, on my own time, on my own schedule. Control your social media efforts, not the other way around.

… The Solterra Group of Companies is no stranger to Georgie fame, having won dozens of awards since first opening for business fifteen years ago. According to spokesperson Laura Rizzo: "Solterra specializes in boutique communities with distinct, unique architecture. No two Solterra communities are alike. We would rather do only two or three communities per year, and make them distinct rather than follow a cookie-cutter approach, and keep duplicating the same style homes.
"The Solterra team is very community-minded, creative, loves architecture, and loves home building. We look for real estate development opportunities where we can add value and something special to the neighbourhood mix."
Indeed, two of its Georgie-nominated projects illustrate this diversity. Sun at 72 in Surrey's Clayton Heights seeks to bring a "little bit of Kitsilano" to an area dominated by Craftsman style developments. Rizzo says: "Sun at 72 is a vibrant community of 89 townhomes and duplexes. Strong linear lines and a contemporary flat roof with dramatic overhangs and cedar accents are both beautifully designed and functionally practical."
Contrast Sun at 72 with Solterra's Keefer Block; a boutique nine-storey concrete building comprised of 81 residences in the heart of Vancouver's historic Chinatown. "Keefer Block is the marriage of old and new, and is characterized by its unique combination of heritage buildings, Chinese produce stores, bakeries, butchers, traditional herbs stores, and now, new developments with convenient services such as banks, rapid transit, restaurants and retail shops," Rizzo says.
She continues: "We are honoured that Sun at 72 was nominated for Best Residential Community of the Year, and for Keefer Block, Best Interior Design and Best Kitchen. Garnering awards from respected associations is important to us as it gives our homeowners a re-assurance that their homes and communities offer something special and unique, and have been identified as standing apart from other communities and developments by trusted experts in the industry."

Jan Baran Talks about Political Fundraising and Super PACs on "The Diane Rehm Show"
Jan Baran, co-chair of Wiley Rein's Election Law & Government Ethics Practice, was a guest on "The Diane Rehm Show" to discuss political fundraising in the 2012 election cycle.
Mr. Baran was joined in the discussion by Reid Wilson, editor-in-chief of National Journal Hotline and Margie Omero president and founder of Momentum Analysis, a Democratic public opinion research firm. Mr. Baran pointed out that so far in 2012 the total amount of election money raised by the candidates is on pace to fall short of the total spent in 2008. That includes President Obama and Mitt Romney, who raised less money in the Republican primary than he did four years ago. When Super PACs are included, the amount of money raised so far in 2012 is very close to 2008.
"I'm not convinced unprecedented amounts will be raised this year," said Mr. Baran. "The total amount raised thus far is about the same as in 2008. Where the money is being raised and being spent, differs. There is more money so far in the Super PACs and independent spending and we don't know how it will shake out until the November election."

Learning to love the skin you're in: stretch marks, flabby bellies and all
When was the last time you loved yourself? I mean really loved yourself, every curve, every blemish. When was the last time you looked in the mirror and did not criticize some part of your body that you alone could see? Your ears that you think are too big, your eyes that you think are too small, the one wrinkle on your forehead or the stretch marks from bringing your children into this world.
A woman's body is special. From puberty to menopause our bodies go through so many changes. So many improvements. Through our bodies we are able to nurture and comfort our children. Through our bodies we can show our love for our spouses and provide support for our friends.
Our bodies are symbols of positivity and strength, something that should be loved and appreciated, regardless of the shape, size or complexion. So why is there so much negativity? Why are there so many voices telling us to feel ashamed for being overweight, too skinny, too fit, too tall, too short, too dark, too pale?
Why do we choose to listen these voices and focus on the minor imperfections instead of celebrating the perfections and accepting what time, experience and the joy of living have done to our bodies?
I came across a video by the Jubilee Project that I thought would be nice to share and hopefully would change the image we have of ourselves.

In Iowa, Sanders seeks to reclaim 2020 progressive mantra
Sen. Bernie Sanders is reasserting himself as the original champion of a progressive agenda many of his fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have adopted
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- Sen. Bernie Sanders reasserted himself on Thursday as the original champion of a progressive agenda many of his fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have since adopted.
The Vermont senator rallied a cheering throng in a noisy convention center in western Iowa, promoting the same themes that launched him to a near-tie with Democrat Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses in 2016. Sanders noted that he had fought for the progressive issues first.
"Shock of all shocks, those very same ideas are now supported by candidates — Democratic candidates — for president," Sanders told a crowd of 2,000 in Council Bluffs in his first trip to Iowa since announcing his 2020 candidacy.
There were signs from the deafening cheers that Sanders had the potential to reignite the magic of 2016.
"I want to welcome you to a campaign which says, loudly and clearly, that the underlying principles of our government will not be greed, will not be kleptocracy, will not be hatred and lies. It will not be racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia and religious bigotry," Sanders said. "All of that is going to end."
He called President Donald Trump "the most dangerous president in modern American history" and accused him of trying to "divide us up by the color of our skin, our country of origin, our gender, our religion and our sexual orientation.
"We're going to do exactly the opposite," Sanders said. "We are going to bring people together."
In the hourlong speech, Sanders did not bring up the allegations of sexual harassment and other mistreatment that female staffers on his first presidential campaign had made against some of the male staffers.
The crowd was dominated by supporters from nearby Omaha, Nebraska, who are ineligible to participate in Iowa's leadoff precinct caucuses.
One Iowa Democrat, Michael Autera, said of Sanders, "I like his platform, what he stands for."
"More importantly, he was the original," the 57-year-old pipe manufacturer employee added. "He had the guts to say it first."
The tone of Sanders' event was familiar. The crowd waved "Bernie" signs, wore T-shirts featuring Sanders' familiar shock of white hair and glasses, and interrupted his speech with the chant: "Feel the Bern! Feel the Bern!"
But the landscape has shifted significantly nationally since 2016, when he was the lone candidate advocating for progressive issues including guaranteed health care for all and a $15 minimum wage.
Those positions were adopted by several successful Democratic candidates for U.S. House in 2018, when the party seized the majority.
Now, presidential candidates Sens. Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren have signed onto Sanders' "Medicare-for-all" bill, which holds out the promise of health care as a right, the potential for national savings from reduced administrative costs and government price-setting, and no more copays, deductibles or surprise medical bills
Similarly, many of Sanders' rivals for the 2020 Democratic nomination support sharply increasing the minimum wage and offering aggressive approaches to tackling climate change.
Warren has begun cultivating a following in Iowa echoing a central theme of Sanders' 2016 campaign, calling for "big structural change" to government to attack corruption.
Sanders on Thursday renewed his calls for criminal justice and prison sentencing changes that affect disproportionately minorities.
"The principles of our government will be based on justice: economic justice, social justice, racial justice," he said.
Other Democrats are making similar issues central to their campaigns, including Booker and Harris, who as Senate Judiciary Committee members helped work out major prison sentencing changes.

- Australian shares followed Wall St deep into the red, with the ASX down more than 190 points, or 3.2%.
- Big-name stocks were hit, with energy stocks getting smashed.
- The carnage has also flowed into other Asian equity markets, with the Nikkei down 6%.
Australian stocks had their worst day in more than two years after the global sell off hit the local market for a second session.
At the close in the US, the Dow Jones was down by 1,175 points or 4.6%, the S&P 500 by 4.1% and the tech heavy Nasdaq 3.8%.
At one stage the Dow was down as much as 1500 or 6.1%, its largest intraday points drop in history, sparked by fears that rising inflation could push interest rates higher.
Today the local market opened showing red and kept losing ground, shedding about $60 billion in market capitalisation.
The ASX200 immediately plunged below the key support level of 6000 points. At the close, the index was at 5,833.30, down 192.90 points or 3.20% — the largest percentage decline since September 29, 2015, and the second largest fall since the height of the European debt crisis in 2011.
In the region, Asia exchanges were also hit by the global slide. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 fell 6.5% to 21,196. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng fell 5% to 30,614.
On the ASX, the banks and the big miners led the falls.
Westpac shed 3.1% to $30.33 and the ANZ dropped almost 3% to $27.88.
Macquarie fell below the $100 a share mark, closing at $97.88, down 5.3%, despite announcing better guidance for its annual profits.
The world's biggest miner, BHP, was down 2.7% to $29.33.
But energy stocks were the hardest hit. Giant Woodside Petroleum dropped 3.9% to $32.04 and Santos 4.4% to $4.95.
Among retailers, Woolworths was off 2.9% to $26.84, Harvey Norman 2.2% to $4.27 and JB Hi-Fi 2.4% to $27.20.
Even gold miners, the traditional stocks to hold in troubled times, were struggling to stay in the green. Evolution was down 0.35% to $2.83 and Kingsgate Consolidated was up 2.8% to $0.36.
The market slide comes at the start of the reporting season in Australian when ASX companies post their half year results.
Ric Spooner at CMC Markets says the local market could outperform US markets if the current sell-off extends over coming weeks.
"The upcoming profit-reporting season could also help the local market fall less than the US if the current sell-off extends," he says.

St.Lazarus of Bethany
The first and main source of information we have is the Gospel of Lazarus. Bethany lives in a short distance from Jerusalem, as I like to call a residential area. His house is also home to Saint Martha and Saint Mary of Bethany her sisters. And until it feels the Gospel story is not he who calls the shots at the mansion. It seems to Marta who manages the day roost. Someone has been attributed to the poor health of Lazarus that fact certainly rare in a society in which women painted little or at least did not have much to say. Nor do I assert that this assumption is supported by the story, because it could be that the age difference between them is a figure for the prevalence of Martha that perhaps should take over the house after the death of his parents who On the other hand, we have not the slightest reference.
The fact is that Jesus Christ often visited the house well when moved from side to side in his apostolic wanderings when I needed a shelter or rest to rest your tired body. He was comfortable. It was a lovely family. With them there were no secrets. Awaiting the arrival of salvation that God had promised from ancient and they suspected imminent. There was trust and like Jesus entertained pilgrim became worthy of the betrayal of Jesus.
One day Lazarus became ill, there was no remedy among those usually applied to solve its bad and died. However much they brought to Jesus, He came to Bethany four days after he had been buried. Accompanied by sisters, surrounded by his disciples, referred by grieving friends who accompanied the sisters to relieve pain, before the tomb comes a dramatic fact: Jesus was deeply moved and wept openly for the dead friend. Reza and gives an authoritative voice
Lazarus of Bethany, Saint
"Lazarus, come out!" And died four days that he was stinking out the tomb and lives.
Then things happen quickly. The heads of the people who already had between eyes to Jesus, to find that it is impossible to hide the obvious, that people-between curious and amazed "moves to Bethany to see who was buried alive but died days ago, the voices are transmitting a continuous and unstoppable fact that they are left alone, decide to accelerate the death of Jesus and Lazarus include in their plans of extermination.
So much for historical reference about Lazarus.
From this great marvel, the amazing human capacity left free rein to the imagination that recreates the story by putting the host in the crosshairs of the possibilities and begins to generate the fable. Some do match the Lazarus of the parable of Dives and end up pointing to him as protector of infirmaries, leprosy and sore, the boldest talk about him as a disciple of Jesus who comes to the bishop and martyr of Christ ends up dying. Others do navigator to Gaul and tireless preacher of the Gospel in Marseille ...
Father may the disciple of
Christ St.Lazarus help us
get closer to you and our Mother the Virgin Mary
so we to can be come disciples of
Christ and his holy word.
Father may Christ grant us this.

And finally, back to Microsoft's proposed $26bn purchase of LinkedIn, and the hefty earnings multiple it is paying:
Meanwhile the deal could see increased competition for US group Salesforce, says Julia Langley, partner at advisory group Results International:
Microsoft's core business is built around enterprise productivity software. They've been increasingly under threat from all sorts of players competing for pole position in this space.
Google and Facebook, two of the biggest tech companies in the world with strong consumer propositions have moved heavily into this enterprise area, with Facebook at Work and Google for Work.
Doing nothing was not an option for Microsoft, hence this massive, bold coup.
LinkedIn is one of the best new business/sales tools in the world of B2B and in many ways competes head on with Salesforce. When Microsoft integrates LinkedIn with its CRM suite, Dynamics, what you have is a hugely powerful tool that is truly differentiated and one that poses a real threat to Salesforce.
... If anyone is going to be feeling unnerved by the deal, it's Salesforce. We should expect to see some sort of announcement from then in the months ahead.
On that note, it's time to close for the evening. Thanks for all your comments, and we'll be back tomorrow.
Commenting on the growing lead for Brexit, Joshua Raymond of broker XTB.com said:
With the latest ICM poll showing support for a Brexit strengthening on both online and phone polls, investors continue to be concerned and are expected to downsize their positions in UK stocks and holdings in pounds sterling. The fact we are not seeing any degree of volatility in the latest polls, which all point to a healthy lead for the leave campaign is making investors risk averse.
And here is the latest ICM poll, showing the Leave campaign further in the lead. Tom Clarke reports:
Support for leaving the EU is strengthening, with both phone and online surveys reporting a six-point lead, according to a new pair of Guardian/ICM polls.
Leave now enjoys a 53%-47% advantage once "don't knows" are excluded, according to the research conducted over the weekend compared with a 52%-48% split reported by ICM a fortnight ago.
The pound is down around 0.18% at $1.4221 following the poll news.
It took 14 years for LinkedIn to grow into a business worth $26bn to Microsoft, and my colleague Sean Farrell has taken a look at the company's history:
European markets close lower
The $26bn deal for Microsoft to buy LinkedIn has done little to support stock markets, which are more concerned with a global slowdown and the consequences of the UK voting to leave the European Union. With talk of the latest ICM poll showing a lead for the Leave camp, markets have slumped once again. The final scores showed:
- The FTSE 100 fell to its lowest level since March 10, down 70.79 points or 1.16% to 6044.97
- Germany's Dax dropped 1.8% to 9657.44
- France's Cac closed 1.85% lower at 4227.02
On Wall Street the Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently down 64 points or 0.36%.
The pound, having slumped earlier and then recovered, has now slipped back again against the dollar, down marginally on the day from $1.4252 at $1.4240.
Chris Beauchamp, senior market analyst at IG, said:
Microsoft has clearly found another use for some of its cash, and while LinkedIn may have faded from view as the market focusses on the triumphs of Facebook and the travails of Twitter, the social network's database offers a tantalising way to expand Microsoft's reach once more. The use of debt rather than stock will reassure those that worry this is another sign of a market top, and will have the added benefit of raising the prospect of a buyer for Twitter.
In an email to LinkedIn employees, chief executive Jeff Weiner says the Microsoft deal is best for the company:
No matter what you're feeling now, give yourself some time to process the news. You might feel a sense of excitement, fear, sadness, or some combination of all of those emotions. Every member of the exec team has experienced the same, but we've had months to process. Regardless of the ups and downs, we've come out the other side knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is the best thing for our company.
He continues:
Some of you may be asking "Why Microsoft?"
Long before [Microsoft boss} Satya [Nadella] and I first sat down to talk about how we could work together, I had publicly shared my thoughts on how impressive his efforts were to rapidly transition Microsoft's strategy and culture. After all, it's extremely rare to see a company of that scope and scale move so quickly to make fundamental changes.
The Microsoft that has evolved under Satya's leadership is a more agile, innovative, open and purpose-driven company. It was that latter point that first had me thinking we could make this work, but it was his thoughts on how we'd do it that got me truly excited about the prospect....
Essentially, we're both trying to do the same thing but coming at it from two different places: For LinkedIn, it's the professional network, and for Microsoft, the professional cloud.
[On the structure of the deal] I had no idea what Satya was going to propose, but knew how difficult acquisition integrations could be if not established the right way from the start.
Long story short, Satya had me at "independence." In other words, his vision was to operate LinkedIn as a fully independent entity within Microsoft, a model used with great success by companies like YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Meanwhile back in the foreign exchange market, sterling has recovered all its losses ahead of the forthcoming ICM poll.
Despite the excitement about the $26bn deal for Microsoft to buy LinkedIn, the overall US market has failed to move into positive territory.
With worries about a global slowdown and the impact of a vote by the UK to leave the EU, the Dow Jones Industrial average has dipped 0.02%, Nasdaq is down 0.12% and the S&P 500 is 0.13% lower.
With Twitter shares up on speculation it could be the next to be snapped up after LinkedIn, some believe a deal could make sense. Saxo Bank head of equity Peter Garnry thinks Google could buy the business by the year end.
Twitter has 350 millions users, but it has been a problem for the company to grow its user base, he said. Nevertheless Twitter has managed to increase its cash flow profitability over the last 4-5 quarters and on a cashflow basis the company is improving rapidly. He said it had been difficult for Google to create a social media space stronghold and for that reason he thought Twitter would be a good fit for Google.

Jabari Parker's Mission & NBA Decisions
Photo from Getty Images
This week, famed LDS college hoops player Jabari Parker told ESPN that he would not be serving a two-year mission. And also this week, he announced that he would be entering the NBA draft and potentially passing up the chance to finish out his three years of eligibility at Duke.
We're sure that these decisions were not made lightly, and with the benefit of fasting and prayer. We wish Parker the best in his future endeavors and in the draft, and hope he will continue to be a missionary through his example.

Power Parenting in the LDS Home: 5 Mistakes to Avoid
Approximately 500 active LDS members nationwide were surveyed and asked this question: What mistakes do you feel your parents made when you were growing up in their home?
LDS family specialist, Dr. Randal A. Wright, analyzed the results to teach LDS parents about some common mistakes they may be making in their homes. Such mistakes include a failure to establish a home environment that reflects the gospel, a failure to be at the crossroads of children's lives, and allowing children to associate too closely with friends who do not share their same standards.

President Obama and President Uchtdorf Discuss Immigration
This week, US President Barack Obama met with leaders from several faiths to discuss immigration policy. Among the attendees representing the Church was President Dieter F. Uchtsorf of the First Presidency.
Following the meeting, President Uchtdorf reaffirmed the Church's stance on immigration, stating, that public officials should create and administer laws that reflect the best of our aspirations as a just and caring society, including not only immigration but securing religious freedom and liberties around the globe.
"Such laws will properly balance love for neighbors, family cohesion and the observance of just and enforceable laws," he said.

10 Funeral Potatoes Recipes to Die For
With Easter just a day away, our minds have been on the delicious feast many Mormons in the US will celebrate with--in particular, the cheesy, delicious, heavenly goodness that are "funeral potatoes." And we're here to tell you, not all recipes are created equal.
Check out these ten delicious funeral potatoes recipes we'd gladly die ourselves to have the chance to eat--and be on the lookout for a recipe contest based on this American Mormon staple in the near future!
You may have heard about a study five years ago that claimed that Utah had the highest rate of porn use in the nation. However, a recent study has debunked that myth: the new study now shows that states with a high population of Mormons have abnormally low rates of porn use. In fact, Utah is ranked 40th in the study, which is a far cry from supposedly leading the country in porn use.

WG YTF Khong Kee
My lunch - tofu, bittergourd and brinjal stuffed with fish paste at MYR 1.50 nett each. This eatery has porridge in its menu too but I did not buy any as I don't feel like paying MYR 5.80 nett for a bowl of porridge so after eating these 3 pieces, I walked to O&S eatery and bought 2 rolls of popiah without any sauce at MYR 2.30 nett each as takeaway.

Unilever was assembling 40 of its top logistics leadership team in central London. Via CommsQuest, they approached us to help them source a small team of "Visual Artists" whose aim was to capture what was said in plenary and workshop output through EventExtra's "Visual Minutes" service.
The resulting artwork was digitised, edited and circulated as both print and web output to help spread the word. Outputs included memorable assets like canvas prints and a fully searchable online panorama.

Melissa Carter: Faith and letting go
Faith is trust in something unseen. Basically you willingly accept lack of control of a situation and simply let life play out on its own. You let go. That can be an easy concept on an emotional level for many, as our society encourages us to deal with experiences from our past, let them go and move on.
However, to physically let things go is an entirely different matter. It's all well and good to say goodbye to a bad feeling, but giving up the souvenirs of a time gone by is the ultimate hurdle. Whether it be an overexposed photograph of your siblings or that cumbersome futon couch from your first apartment, throwing them out feels like ripping away a piece of your soul.
Just take a look in your attic or garage at all the things you intend to one day organize when you have time. You've actually planned to organize for years, but you just can't bring yourself to throw out those old high school notebooks or that faded Raggedy Ann doll.

Last week we were invited along to a presentation at the Excel centre on the Indego. The Indego is the latest exoskeleton device to hit our shores and we were curious to see what the 'new kid on the block' had to offer.
This blog is an opportunity for us (Andy and Marrianne) to share our thoughts and experiences of exoskeletons. As with previous blogs we have put together for the RST website, we're not asking for agreement or recognition; we're simply sharing our experiences and our point of view for anyone who might be interested.
Record Breaker: A few years ago Marrianne became the highest injured person, in the world, to walk in the Ekso exoskeleton device. This of course was an incredibly moving experience, not only for us but for our family who were present too. It also opened the doors for others with Marrianne's injury level to have a go. For the record, Marrianne crushed her C2 & C3 vertebra and burst her C4 back in 2004. This left Marrianne a C4 tetraplegic. Since this initial 'classification' Marrianne has worked very hard to maintain her health and improve on the flickers of movement she was left with. (those who know Marrianne will confirm her determination for progress.) Today Marrianne has the function of someone one, maybe two, levels below the initial prognosis. This is testament to Marrianne's dedication and desire to improve on her quality of life. Although Marrianne is still severely disabled, she lives life to the max and continues to make progress.
Ok, digression over! – back to the Exoskeletons… To see Marrianne 'walking' again, even with the help of the Ekso, was amazing. It had been nine years at that point since Marrianne's injury and of course we all loved every moment. There's no doubt that there is a massive positive psychological impact for someone who has been in a wheelchair for a long period of time to suddenly be up and walking around. We're not so convinced that the positive impact would be so strong for someone newly injured; for someone still coming to terms with their injury and with walking 'fresh' in their memory, it could prove to be an anti-climax (but of course everyone is different).
Managing expectation is the key to so many things associated with SCI but particularly when it comes to exoskeletons. Let's be clear…they aren't a 'cure'. Marrianne was fortunate to have a sustained period of access to the Ekso and loved it. The initial euphoria of walking does wear off but then it's a case of using the device for rehab purposes and physical gain. There are exoskeletons that sell themselves as mobility devices and no doubt people do use them, on occasions, to get around but we think the reality at the moment is that they are a long way from being able to compete with a wheelchair as the number one choice for someone with an SCI to get around. In terms of rehab, there are great physical benefits but they aren't miracle workers. It comes back to managing expectation. Marrianne used the Ekso regularly but not exclusively or at the cost of other exercises. At the moment, exoskeletons are a great 'piece of kit' to incorporate into an ongoing rehab program. Using them alongside FES and other equipment is key but the major issue is always the cost!!
There's no doubt that the design, engineering and technology that goes into exoskeletons is amazing and we're pretty sure that this is only the beginning, but owning one right now is out of most peoples reach and therefore it's not on the radar for the majority of people with spinal cord injuries. There are a growing number of private rehab centres owning exoskeletons, though most of these charge a high premium for use. Sharing and somehow making this technology accessible to everyone, to at least have a go, would really be a game changer. If you're lucky enough to have one, it's not something to stick in the cupboard when you're not using it – share the love and let others give it a go.
The Indego presentation: If the first Exo on the scene was the equivalent of the first iphone then you could argue that the Indego is the Iphone 6. First impressions of the device were great, it looked very compact and agile. From reading the literature and listening to various people talk about the Indego it would seem that although they are joining the exo party late, their development team have used that to their advantage and made the most of the new technologies available to them. i.e you can relay data on your sessions in the Indego directly to you iphone, allowing you to easily monitor progress. Their CEO spoke superbly about managing expectations, continued product development (including free FES upgrades when the technology is ready) and also where their device sits in terms of mobility / rehab. We haven't had a chance to try this bad boy out yet to truly give our opinion, but we hope to do so soon. One big plus for the Indego is their association with Anatomical Concepts. Anatomical Concepts are the UK distributers for the Indego. We've had the pleasure of working with AC in the past on other products and we know all about their passion for making the latest rehab technologies available to people in the UK. Their clinical background shines through and whilst the Indego still has a large price tag, if anyone can help make this great technology accessible to everyone… it's these guys. Everything has to start somewhere. Lets hope we can get our RST scholars up and experiencing the Indego soon. 😉
To be continued…
