What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet, hands, or ears. Reflexologists believe that these areas and reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, and that pressing them has a beneficial effect on the organs and person's general health. For example, reflexology holds that a specific spot in the arch of the foot corresponds to the bladder point. When a reflexology practitioner uses thumbs or fingers to apply appropriate pressure to this area, it affects bladder functioning.
Although reflexology is not used to diagnose or cure health disorders, millions of people around the world use it to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and sinusitis.
Reflexology is growing increasingly popular across Europe and Asia as both a complement to other treatments and as a preventive measure. One example is Denmark, where various municipalities and companies have employed reflexologists since the early '90s.
According to several studies, this practice in Denmark has resulted in reduced sick leave and absenteeism (and significant economic savings for the employers). Employees have consistently reported complete or partial improvement in conditions where they sought reflexologists' help and even relief for additional problems related to stress. In one municipal district, almost one-third of the employees reported greater satisfaction with their jobs after completing six sessions with a reflexologist.
Where are the reflexology points and areas?
In reflexology theory, points and areas on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to specific organs, bones and body systems. Practitioners access these points on the feet and hands (bottom, sides, and top) and the ear (both inside as far as the finger can reach and outside) to affect organs and systems throughout the entire body.
Maps of reflex points have been passed between practitioners across the globe. Understandably, there is not agreement among all reflexologists on all points; however, general agreement does exist on major reflex points. Some scientific documentation of linkages between the skin and internal organs also exists.
To represent how the body systems correspond to one another, reflexologists use reflexology "maps." A good example of a reflexology map exists for the feet. Each foot represents a vertical half of the body: refloxology chartThe left foot corresponds to the left side of the body and all organs, valves, etc. found there.
The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body and all organs found there. For example, the liver is on the right side of the body, and therefore the corresponding reflex area is on the right foot.
The illustration below shows a reflexology map for the feet.
A reflexologist may perform a general, integrated session, or may focus on specific problem areas on the feet, hands or ears. For example, if time is limited and the person really needs to relax, the reflexologist may choose just to work on the ears.
Whatever the specific technique, reflexology theory holds that the practitioner is working to release congestion or stress in the nervous system and balance the body's energy.
How does reflexology relate to other therapies?
Acupuncture and Acupressure: Reflexology is similar to acupuncture and acupressure in that it theorizes an influence on the body's vital energy through the stimulation of points on the body. However, acupuncture/acupressure points do not always coincide with the reflex points used in reflexology.
Foot Reflexology and Acupressure are both "reflex" therapies in that they work with points on one part of the body to affect other parts of the body. While reflexology uses reflexes that are in an orderly arrangement resembling a shape of the human body on the feet, hands, and outer ears, acupressure uses over 800 reflex points that are found along long thin energy lines called meridians that run the length of the entire body.
Massage: Some people confuse reflexology with massage. While both massage and reflexology use touch, the approaches are very different.
Massage is the systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, using specific techniques (for example, tapping, kneading, stroking, and friction) to relax the muscles.
Reflexology focuses on reflex maps of points and areas of the body in the feet, hands, and ears using unique micromovement techniques such as thumb or finger walking and hook and backup with the goal of creating a response throughout the body.
In short, massage therapists work "from the outside in," manipulating specific muscle groups or fascia to release tension. Reflexology practitioners see themselves as working "from the inside out" -- stimulating the nervous system to release tension.
Another difference between massage and reflexology is that a client will stay fully clothed for a reflexology session except for removing footwear, whereas clients remove clothing for a massage session.
Where does reflexology come from?
Because reflexology is an ancient practice, its origin and history is difficult to track. However, reflexology is thought to have been passed down through an oral tradition, and possibly first recorded as a pictograph on the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor in feet imprints 2330 BC along with other medical procedures.
Reflexology symbols are also thought to be recorded on the feet of statues of Buddha in India and later China. The Chinese classic, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, which was written around 1,000 BC, has a chapter on "Examining Foot Method" and is the beginning of discussions in print about the connection of life force and points and areas on the feet.
It is believed that Marco Polo translated a Chinese massage book into Italian in the 1300's, thus introducing reflexology and massage to Europe. In 1582, a book on an integral element of reflexology called zone therapy was first published in Europe by Dr. Adamus and Dr. A'tatis.
In the United States, William H. Fitzgerald, MD, who is frequently referred to as the father of reflexology, wrote in 1917 about ten vertical zones that extended the length of the body. He found that the application of pressure to a zone that corresponded to the location of an injury could serve as relief of pain during minor surgeries.
Dr. Fitzgerald's work was expanded by Dr. Shelby Riley, who developed a map of horizontal zones going across the body and a detailed map of reflex points on the feet and hands. He also suggested pressure points on the outer ear.
Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist who worked for Dr. Riley, is another prominent figure in the development of reflexology. In her research with zone therapy's pressure points, she found the feet to be the most sensitive and responsive. She developed the foot maps still in use today and introduced reflexology practices to the non-medical community in the 1930s. Ms. Ingham also designed one of the most commonly used reflexology charts, which has since been refined by her nephew, Dwight Byers, at the International Reflexology Institute.
In 1957, Dr. Paul Nogier recorded a reflex map of points on the outer ear. His work has been expanded by Oleson and Flocco and is now being taught as part of an integrated approach to hand, ear and foot reflexology.

As with any site, the more exposure received the better it is for your brand, in particular organic exposure. Organic is content seen by people on the site and is numbers or views that are not inflated with fake or irrelevant accounts. Although once upon a time where views came from didn't matter, today in social media it does, and knowing what tool can help you gain exposure without hurting your brand is a valuable lesson to learn prior to using any tools.
Images have gained in popularity in 2012 and is continuing as we begin 2013, it most certainly looks to be a trend that is yet to fade into the past as visual content is not only popular by social users but by the algorithms within social networks as well as amongst image sharing niche sites like Pinterest.
Businesses have caught on to the latest trend in sharing images and are using them to relate to users on social sites but it has also become a terrific way to share your brand as well as products on sites like Pinterest, since they make it super easy for businesses by providing another way for people to click to your desired site in which images are being hosted.
Pinterest has done wonders in particular for blogs and for websites who have taken interest in creating supporting pages and picking proper images. Knowing how to properly categorize your pins and label your boards imaginatively along with a well written social description explaining the board, will help create a strong page rank for your board, since every board does and can have one.
With that said, it is not always easy depending on others to repin your pins and in some instances promoting pins can help further your reach.
An image promoting site, Reachli, helps content creators and sellers of goods measure their visually shared content with an array of tools. With the ability to promote through campaigns using Reachli not only will you be able to extend your brands reach but more importantly be able to scale the types of images that best suit your audience and hone in on those skills to strengthen your strategy and further your image sharing not only on Pinterest but elsewhere as well.
Being able to measure your efforts when sharing images in particular can help you not only connect further with like-minded people but potential customers as well and knowing what works and what doesn't helps businesses weed out the unnecessary and instead use social sites for purposeful efforts and attain information that will make using those sites for your brand more beneficial.
Currently Reachli targets Pinterest but may expand in the future for more niche sites that target visual sharing into their insights. Reachli is ideal for your brand to be able to scale and strategize using measurable feedback that can help you target your audience better, which will then in return make for better connections when using social media.

text: Advertisements I have a 2 x Premiere and 1 x Premiere XL TiVo Series 4 DVRs. Two of them stopped booting after a recent update. The sequence is "Welcome, powering up." After a few minutes, the screen goes blank, where it should normally say "Almost there, just a few more minutes", but instead stays blank. Connecting to the serial header inside the units, and booting with: boot "root=/dev/sda7 dsscon=true" Show that the unit get to the point of loading SAA7164 firmware. It then hangs at this point. I've tried booting them dozens of times. Around 1 in 20, the firmware loader will say something about a corrupt image, and continue booting, at which point the unit seems to work fine. I also have another Premiere which always boots fine. I noticed the commonality is that the 2 that boot 1 in 20 have an NXP version of the SAA7164, and the one that always boots has a Trident version. Kernel version in all cases is: Linux version 2.6.18-5.1 (build@jenkslave-client1) (gcc version 4.2.0) #1 SMP Thu Sep 8 01:46:32 PDT 2016 Full boot log from failing boot: http://www.orcas.net/tivo-boot-fail-1.log It hangs just before the line below for about 10 seconds: [466] HpkStateDaemon, 477: WaitForDaemonInit() HpkStateDaemon failed to init!!! Successful boot: http://www.orcas.net/tivo-boot-success-1.log Note the line below that doesn't show up in the failed case: saa7164: image downloaded successfully, waiting for image to boot... saa7164: image booted successfully If anyone else has these symptoms, I'd love to know. I bet TiVo knows about the problem, but there isn't a good way to recover a unit in this state, since it hasn't booted far enough to connect to the update servers. I'd like to collect anyone else who has had this issue to go to TiVo to force them to provide a fix, especially for the units with a Lifetime service on them.

An item in the August 26, 1950, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that the Capitol Theatre was being renovated. The item said that the Capitol had been built in 1939 at a cost of $50,000.
The November 11, 1939, issue of Boxoffice said that the Crescent Amusement Company's new Capitol Theatre at Princeton had enjoyed a successful opening, the house being sold out in 30 minutes.
The Capitol apparently replaced an earlier theater called the Savoy on the same site.

Crescent had acquired the Savoy from Malco Theatres the year before.
This theatre should be listed as "open" (since at least 2009).
The original theater on this site was the Savoy Theater. It burned to the ground in 1937. The Capitol Cinemas was built on the same site and opened in 1939.

I watched the original Star Wars here. The updated screens are great.
Despite some community support and attempts to keep it going, the Capitol has closed for now.

Eat for Eight Bucks: Texas Turkey Hash Recipe
Dinner recipes that will keep your stomach and wallet happy from Cara and Phoebe of Big Girls, Small Kitchen
The dinner table isn't the only place you can pinch pennies. Last fall I went to my first estate sale and had such good luck that I've been reluctant to try another; what could top finding a fabulous silver Revere bowl and three pieces of my wedding china for less than $10? To max out my bliss, the proprietor of the estate also had an extensive cookbook library. I had trouble limiting myself to one volume but eventually took home only Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book of 1956. Frankly, I expected the recipes to be as funny as the prim sketches of happy housewives, but the second one I tried, Texas hash, turned out to be a winner.
To be fair, I have an ongoing love affair with my 9-by-13 Pyrex, and my husband recently announced that he wants to go on diet consisting almost exclusively of casseroles—so I suppose we were sure to be a receptive audience for any loosely bound, cheese-topped combination of meat, onions, and grain. Nevertheless, I was surprised by how greedily I went back for seconds and thirds. If I may say so without offending chili fanatics, the dish is rather like a quick, simple chili that bakes in the oven instead of bubbling away on the stove. I suppose you should really eat a green salad or some broccoli with it, but this has become one of my fast and easy dinners, which sometimes means pretending that the single green pepper counts as a vegetable.
The original is made with ground beef and white rice; I used turkey and millet and was very happy with the results. The cilantro, also my addition, is nice but not necessary; add it only if you have it around. I make my own chili powder; you may use any store-bought or homemade powder you like (just watch the salt if it's store-bought) or make up your own spice blend of cumin, oregano, and a dot of cayenne.
- Yield:4 to 6
- Shopping list: onions, $0.50; green bell pepper, $1.00; ground turkey, $3.81; 28 oz. tomatoes, $1.91; 2 ounces cheese, $0.40.
- Pantry items: olive oil, garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, millet or rice.
- Total cost (for 4-6 portions): $7.62
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, sliced thin from pole to pole
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced medium
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup uncooked millet or white rice
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 ounces (about 3/4 cup) coarsely grated cheese--Monterey jack, pepper jack, cheddar, or a combination
- Sour cream or plain yogurt to serve (optional)
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350. Heat olive oil in heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmer. Add onions and peppers to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft but not yet brow, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chili powder, salt, freshly ground pepper, and millet (or rice) and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add ground turkey and break up with wooden spoon. Cook, stirring frequently, until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add tomatoes and their liquid along with cilantro.
Pour mixture into greased 9x13 baking dish and top with the grated cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes; remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer. Serve hot with extra chopped cilantro and sour cream or yogurt.

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras of Greece found the going tough over the weekend as he failed to convince all members of his governing coalition that additional austerity measures must be enacted to satisfy the troika and obtain the next tranche of rescue funding. Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis said that the cuts, which Samaras has already called unfair and painful, had not been decided on and that poorer Greeks should be protected from more austerity.
Bloomberg reported Monday that the lack of consensus was just one of a number of eurozone issues facing action in the week ahead, including a decision scheduled for Wednesday by Germany's Constitutional Court on the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and an election in the Netherlands that could tip the scales there away from austerity.
The euro, which had risen initially on the European Central Bank's (ECB) bond-buying plan, retreated as traders shed the currency in advance of such knotty issues.
Samaras, Kouvelis and Pasok leader Evangelos Venizelos met Saturday to try to reach agreement on 11.5 billion euros ($14.7 billion) in spending cuts required by the troika of the ECB, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) before it will release the next segment of money.
However, the attempt failed, and Kouvelis said in the report that the members of the troika, who met with Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras on Saturday, had not accepted all the proposed measures. An unidentified Pasok party official said the troika took issue with approximately 2 billion euros among the proposed cuts. The three Greek policymakers have said they will have another meeting on Wednesday, two days in advance of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers.
"The recession is deep and if these measures aren't accompanied by growth measures, they will be ineffective," Kouvelis said in the report. "Our European partners need to know that Greeks can't take any more. Nothing can be taken for granted."
Samaras had said that the two years' worth of cuts, while painful and unfair, are necessary to restore Greece's credibility in the eyes of the troika so that it can receive additional funding to stay afloat.

You want to know what is the best place to live. With the Life Quality Index, or LQI, we make it a lot easier to decide which place is better to live.
The LQI is calculated by combining all our data on transportation, safety, health, affordability, entertainment, demographics, leisure and other essentials for everyday life. All our data comes from very reliable sources, like the MTA, NYPD, Google, Socrata, Foursquare and the U.S. Census to offer you the best information to find the right place to live.
You want to be free to go wherever you want, when you want. So in our LQI we use all the available data on public transport, taxi services, parking places and the distance to the city center or the next borough when calculating the livability of a place.
Life is all about the small things, so if you have everything you need nearby, then that is a great plus! When we calculate the Daily Life for the LQI, we take everything into account. Ranging from the distance to the nearest convenience stores and places of worship to Wi-Fi Hotspots and financial services.
You want to feel safe in your new home, so in the LQI you will be able to find all our data on crime levels and the nearest police and fire stations for that particular place.
Health is important to us all. In the LQI we include everything related to your well-being: the proximity to health and medical facilities, but also pollution levels, the proximity you live to busy truck routes or factories, and even the number of noise complaints.
Let's face it, what would life be without restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and other entertainment venues? That's why we include it in our LQI.
We use data on demographics to calculate our Life Quality Index. We all want to feel welcome in our community and at home in our neighborhood. Things like average income, education levels, and poverty index are all taken into account to create the LQI.
Place I Live is a informative tool which displays data about various neighborhoods in cities. You can look through maps which have Life Quality Index rating categories to find locations and statistical data.
