Yoga has its beginnings in Hindu medicine. Originally, yoga was used to prepare people mentally and spiritually. During the 19th century, it started to be used in western medicine as well. However, it reached its popularity in the 1960s. Currently, yoga positions are being considered by professionals as a therapy to treat various conditions.
Yoga basics
It is a philosophy of how to live life.
Promotes good nutrition and good hygiene habits.
Uses breathing and relaxation techniques to combat stress.
Its ultimate goal is to achieve a clear mind and conscience.
How Does Yoga Work?
Changes the chemistry of the brain and tissues through relaxation. It reduces tension in the muscles. It changes the mood, attitude, and self-image. It helps deal with the problems of life.
When is Yoga Used?
To combat stress, headaches, and depression. To improve circulation, asthma and bronchitis. It promotes general welfare.
Be extra cautious if you are pregnant or during menstruation. Consult your doctor before practicing yoga if you suffer from a medical condition.
Homeopathy is a completely natural treatment where the goal is to restore the body to its original state of health. When the body suffers from a disease, the organs operate less efficiently than normal. Homeopathy regulates the functioning of the organs by restoring their maximum strength. This regulation is achieved by subconsciously stimulating the curative potential that lies in the human body.
The ingredients with which homeopathic remedies are manufactured are natural substances, such as plants and animal tissues. Sometimes minerals are used as a base. One of the fundamental principles in homeopathy is the axiom that explains that a natural substance which in certain doses would cause certain symptoms in the body, contains the energy pattern that helps arouse the latent intelligence in the cell capable of curing the same symptoms.
Chemically, homeopathic remedies do not contain the substance that is used as an ingredient to manufacture them. Rather this substance is used to transfer its pattern of energy through static electricity to a base of lactose, alcohol, or isotonic solution. This is why one of the advantages of homeopathy is its absolute harmlessness so that even a newborn baby could use it safely. In homeopathy there is no overdose. [home-remedies-site.com] The effect obtained when ingesting one pill is exactly the same as the one obtained if you were to ingest a hundred or a thousand pills at the same time.
The cells in the human body are built based on the same elements, the same atomic laws, and the same chemical weapons that constitute the rest of Nature; animal, vegetable, and mineral. In the animal kingdom, let's look at the example of the pig and its ability to regenerate the tissues in its joints with surprising speed. One of the homeopathic remedies that is used to treat an injured disk (an incurable condition in the traditional allopathic medicine) contains as its active ingredient the joint tissue of a pig's disk. This energy pattern provides the specific instructions to human cells to regenerate those tissues in the back. The result that has been observed in scientific studies conducted in Germany, is that in a period of two to three years the patients achieve optimal back health after having suffered one of these injuries. This is just an example of the many treatments in homeopathic medicine from Homotoxicology. In this branch of homeopathy treatment exists for about 600 diseases including cancer and AIDS.
For those who accept the evolution theory of organic life on earth, it is simply a matter of logic to recognize that the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms contain a record of the intelligence of nature. This record is contained in the subconscious memory of the life force that has been expressed in millions of ways through the billions of years of the history of the planet earth.
Today the homeopathic school called Homotoxicology postulated by German scientist Hans Heinrich Reckeweg represents the most advanced curative technology in the Western world. Remedies made using Homotoxicology contain homeopathic ingredients that work not only to heal individual cells in the affected organs but also to help the excretory systems of the body to eliminate homotoxins that are the cause of all malaise.
These ailments are classified under six categories. Each describes the level of degeneration of the organs depending on how impregnated they are by the toxins. home-remedies-site.com For example, a slight bronchitis would be in the number one phase of discomfort in the respiratory system. Cancer of the lungs, on the other hand, would be in the number six phase of degeneration. Therefore, the cancer patient would take six or more different homeopathic formulas to treat each phase of impregnation involved in the cancer. The patient with bronchitis would take one or two formulas to restore the highest level of his/her lung efficiency.
Another advantage of homeopathy is that relief of symptoms occurs almost instantaneously, and the gradual improvement thereafter, when using the right treatment for the correct diagnosis.
It is a pity that most people in the world do not know this method of therapy because of the commercialization of allopathic medicine and pharmaceutical companies. These drugs, even those that are sold without a prescription, relieve symptoms in the short term. But in the long term, they are actually toxic to cells, stunting the body's systems with the passing of the years. The existence of Homotoxicology and homeopathic treatments is a great fortune for those who have used and tested for themselves the wonderful benefits and results of this wonderful alternative.
Energy Healing
Energy healers use techniques such as laying on of hands, prayer, and positive thinking to heal patients. The explanation for this type of healing is not very clear yet physicians accept that it exists. Many cultures and religions have used these techniques throughout history to heal their sick. In 1993, an American psychiatrist published a work in which he motivates modern medicine to investigate more about this technique. He states that there is much evidence to support that energy healing does work.
Basics of Energy Healing
Generally, the healing power is attributed to a supreme being.
Other healers attribute the power to spirits of deceased people.
Some say that they heal using the human aura, a layer of color surrounding the body.
How Does Energy Healing Work?
The healer concentrates and relaxes. Most use their hands as a tool to transmit the healing power. The healer goes over the patient's body using his/her hands to detect imbalances in the energy field of the person.
When is it Used?
To treat anxiety and stress, hasten healing of wounds, and to treat diseases in general whether they are chronic or serious.
Healers should never ask the patient to believe in them unconditionally, nor say that you need to have blind faith in them so that the treatment works. Beware of those who say that in return for a gift of money you will receive healing.
Visualization or Visualisation
Visualisation consists in the patient using his/her imagination to relieve stress and promote the ability of the body to self-heal. It can be done either alone or with help from a practitioner of this technique. The idea here is to visualize the desired results. For example, if someone is sick and wants to get well, then he/she will visualize him/herself completely healthy. If it is a personality problem, then the person will visualize him/herself the way they wish to be. Cancer patients will visualize the destruction of cancer cells, and so on.
How Does Visualisation Work?
The idea is that the subconscious mind will activate the body's ability to self-heal. It brings positive changes in mood, attitudes, and perceptions.
When is Visualisation Used?
To relieve pain, treat mental health problems such as phobias, and relieve stress and anxiety.
Visualisation Exercise:
1. Get in a comfortable position, with comfortable clothes and without shoes. Position yourself either lying or sitting.
2. Close your eyes and begin to feel the weight of your body. Pay attention to your breathing rate and try to breathe deeply and slowly.
3. Contract and relax the feet muscles. Repeat with all the muscles of the body until you reach the face.
4. Focus on breathing again.
5. When you are relaxed imagine what you want to defeat. If it is a disease, imagine yourself treating this disease with healing powers. If you want to succeed in any aspect, imagine your goal and then imagine yourself totally in control. If you are stressed, imagine a beautiful and tranquil landscape. Repeat to yourself "I am relaxed and I feel good."
The idea of meditation is to reach a maximum relaxation while still being aware. There are several techniques to achieve this state, and they all include focusing the mind without distractions. Meditation has been practiced by many religions. It has now reached popularity with non-religious purposes but to relieve stress and other health problems.
Different Meditation Techniques
The mantra: The person continuously repeats a word or phrase that has a positive meaning for him/her.
Focus on your breath: The person thinks of a word that brings peace to him/herself every time he/she takes a deep breath.
Vipassana meditation: A state in which you are aware but totally disengaged from your thoughts and experiences.
Meditation with an object: The person focuses his/her attention on an object such as the flame of a candle, the sea, a river, a flower, and so on.
When is Meditation Used?
To alleviate stress and anxiety and lower high blood pressure. It also helps get rid of addictions and promote personal development.
Meditation Exercise:
1. Sit on a chair and close your eyes.
2. Breathe deeply and feel the oxygen traveling through your body.
3. Imagine that your muscles are relaxed.
4. Concentrate either on a word, phrase, or object.
5. Before opening your eyes, wait a minute. Before returning to your regular activities wait another minute. Stretch your muscles and stand up slowly.
When a person is deeply relaxed, he/she is more open to suggestions. This is why many professionals use this technique to treat their patients.
Hypnosis started in the 18th century. It was the work of an Austrian man, Franz Anton Mesmer. The form of modern hypnosis was developed by an American psychotherapist named Milton Erickson in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, hypnosis has the approval of doctors.
How Does Hypnosis Work?
After relaxing the person completely, the hypnotist starts planting positive suggestions in the patient's mind. The patient is still conscious so it is not true that the person under hypnosis does things against his/her will.
Hypnosis activates healing processes, reduces tension in the muscles, the spine and neck. home-remedies-site.com It can change mood, perception, and attitudes.
When is it Used?
To relieve pain, phobias, stress, anxiety, addiction, and asthma among others.
Hypnosis is not recommended for people with severe depression, epilepsy or psychosis.

Linus Klasen spin-o-rama shootout goal: Best of 2013?
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy28 mins agoThis is the danger of publishing year-end lists before the calendar turns: Something happens that might have you rearranging the top 10.
Like, for example, Linus Klasen of Sweden scoring this insanely good shootout goal against the Czech Republic in the Channel One Cup on Saturday,one day after our top 10 shootout goals of the season:
Wow. That's Alexander Salak – who went from the Florida Panthers to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Michael Frolik trade in 2011 – as the goalie whose body moved one way while his eyes tracked the puck sliding in behind him, courtesy of that incredible move by Klasen.
In fact, Klasen is no stranger to incredible moves in the shootout or on penalty shots. There was this move against Frolunda in 2010:
In 2011, the former Nashville Predators prospect unleashed this move in the AHL All-Star Game skills competition:
The pantheon of YouTube highlight sensations includes Linus Omark, Rob Schremp and Tomas Jurco. It's time Linus Klasen joins that digital domain of dominance.
NHL referee uses mutant power to freeze the puck (Photo)
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy3 hrs agoOK, not really the most accurate headline, but without a doubt one of the coolest images of the NHL season, as the referee (not sure if this was Marc Joannette or Frederick L'Ecuyer) appears to go all Sub-Zero on the New York Islanders and New York Rangers in their game at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
No better way to let the players know the puck is frozen than shooting ice out of your hands ...
Question of the Day: What mutant power would most benefit an NHL official in his nightly occupational duties?
While we imagine most of the comments will be "invisibility", we'll go with the ability to look into a player mind to glean intent on a play moments after, say, a charging or boarding call.
How much easier would Shanahan's job be then?
Pass or Fail: Chicago Blackhawks Soldier Field jerseys
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy3 hrs agoThe Chicago Blackhawks are going back to black for their Solider Field game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 1.
Their Stadium Series jerseys, revealed on Friday, resemble the ones they wore from 1996-2007, only with different striping on the arms and with those white laces around the collar.
The other big difference is the logo, which has the same "chrome-treated" look as the other Stadium Series sweaters have. And while the results have been up and down on the new jerseys, that metallic look really works here.
Granted, having the best logo in professional sports does help.
The only question is whether the overall look works, and if it's better than any alternative for the Blackhawks. While black jerseys are a scourge on the League for the most part, and while their Wrigley Jersey was better, this is going to look rather cool at chilly Soldier Field.
What say you?
Pass or Fail: Chicago Blackhawks Solider Field jerseys.
Semyon Varlamov's assault charges dismissed due to 'reasonable doubt'
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy23 hrs agoCould Denver prosecutors prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Semyon Varlamov assaulted his girlfriend on the night of Oct. 30?
They didn't believe they could. On Friday afternoon, they filed a motion to dismiss the misdemeanor assault charge because they lacked the evidence to prove the case when it reached the trial stage.
"That's not to say we don't believe our victim," district attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough said, adding that investigators reinterviewed witnesses whose statements began to shift. "It became clear we didn't have a belief we could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt."
Pass or Fail: New York Rangers Yankee Stadium jerseys
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 day agoAs with the other Stadium Series jerseys, your reaction to the New York Rangers' sweaters for their games against the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders at Yankee Stadium next month will depend on your expectations for said sweaters.
Like, for example, hoping against hope that the Anaheim Ducks' sweaters would have a Mighty Ducks retro logo on the front. And harboring the same hope that the Rangers might resurrect the Liberty Head logo for their spiffy outdoor jerseys this season.
Alas, that is not in the cards for the "chrome logo" jerseys of the Stadium Series, so the Rangers are essentially wearing a color-tweaked, shimmery version of their usual duds.
Tomas Hertl could miss month with knee injury; NHL rookie race shaken up?
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 day agoSan Jose Sharks rookie sensation Tomas Hertl was injured in that knee-on-knee collision with Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. Just how injured?
Czech journalist Roman Jedlicka reports that Hertl will miss one month with his injury, and that Hertl offered the information to his father. But Bob McKenzie of TSN hears the recovery time could be longer than that, which obviously puts Hertl's place on the Czech Olympic team in Sochi at risk.
For the Sharks, the loss of Hertl is the loss of a player with 25 points in 35 games, skating 15:19 per game and contributing to the second power play until. He's cooled off from his torrid start, with two points in his last six games, but he's still been one of their most dynamic offensive catalysts.
The other issue with Hertl hurt: The Calder Trophy picture.
The rookie points race at the moment:

Hockey Christmas wish granted for young Lightning fan in heartwarming scene (Video)
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 day agoThe opportunity to snag a loose puck in the stands at an NHL game doesn't come around often; and when the rubber disc does go flying from the rink into the seats, chances are there's a some tall, aggressive person that'll snag it before, say, a young fan gets their shot at the puck.
Perhaps knowing this, a young Tampa Bay Lightning fan put his faith in the holiday spirit to produce a souvenir puck at their game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday. He sat near the glass, holding a sign that read "ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS A HOCKEY PUCK."
Santa must have heard him. Or, at the very least, Santa let some dude in the neighboring section know about this Christmas wish.
In the second period, a puck flew over the glass and was caught by a Lightning fan. As he was celebrating his conquest, the boy held out his Christmas puck wish sign. The fan immediately handed the puck over to the young lad, pointed at him with the universal sign for "you da man!" and the fans cheered the selfless act as the young fan waved the puck in the air.
NHL Three Stars: Giroux leads incredible Flyers' comeback; Alfie scores in OT

(Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein/NHLI via Getty Images)
No. 1 Star: Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers had a miraculous 5-goal rally in the third against the Columbus Blue Jackets, led by Giroux's 2 goals and 2 assists, including a goal of the year candidate. The Flyers won, 5-4. Jakub Voracek had a goal and two assists.
No. 2 Star: Daniel Alfredsson, Detroit Red Wings
Alfredsson opened and closed the scoring for the Wings, scoring a power-play goal in overtime to give Detroit a 3-2 win over Calgary. Congrats, "HBO 24/7" producers.
No. 3 Star: Alex Steen, St. Louis Blues
Martin Jones is made of magic (Video)
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 day agoThe Los Angeles Kings apparently have one criteria for their starting goaltenders, which is that they possess some sort of supernatural and/or mutant ability to magically stop pucks.
Jonathan Quick, currently injured, may or may not be a Jedi, able to control pucks with his mind. Martin Jones, currently starring for the Kings in Quick's absence, made a save on Thursday night against the San Jose Sharks that was made of magic.
Check out Jones, becoming Tommy Wingels' waking nightmare with this incredible save:
Now, granted, some of this magic was in the San Jose Sharks blowing two clear shots at a gaping net, with Wingels' wraparound glancing off the post. But then the puck hit Jones' pad, and looked destined to cross the goal line … until he swept his glove back and swatted it away.

On the 9th Day, God made a Dog
Cosmo Talks: Animals are capable of emotional suffering by Betty Jean Craig
"It's raining," said Cosmo. She was right. The skies were dark, and rain was pounding the deck.
Cosmo is an 11-year-old African grey parrot who keeps me abreast of what's happening around our house. She was perched atop her roost cage in our sunroom. I was reading.
Suddenly a tree limb hit the roof. THUD. "What's that?" Cosmo asked.
"I don't know," I replied. How could I explain to her the effect of storm winds on tree limbs?
My two dogs, Mary and Kaylee, started barking in the bedroom. So Cosmo descended from her perch, commenting "Doggies bark," and hurried across the hall to see what was up.
"Hi," Cosmo said to the dogs.
So cute, I thought. Cosmo thinks she's important.
Then I realized how patronizing I was being. From Cosmo's perspective, the house is hers as much as mine. The dogs are her friends as much as mine. She speaks with me in English not to be cute but to communicate. From her perspective, I'm part of her life, but I'm not in charge of her life.
Cosmo doesn't know I'm supporting her. Or that I purchased her for my amusement. Or that she, like other domestically-raised parrots, was bred to be a pet for people who like talking birds.
I'm reminded of a lesson I got from one of my favorite books: "Ishmael," by Daniel Quinn. The novel is narrated by a philosophically inclined student of a philosophically inclined gorilla named Ishmael. In the course of their dialogue, the student figures out that we civilized humans act as though the planet belongs to us. For more than 2,000 years, we have viewed all of nature as ours — to possess, exploit, use, consume, enjoy and, sometimes but not often enough, protect.
We've viewed ourselves as Earth's only intelligent creatures, the only creatures with consciousness and the ability to suffer emotionally. So we humans dominated Earth's other inhabitants. We thought that was our right, our destiny.
Enter YouTube in 2005. YouTube will forever change our ideas about nature, I'm convinced. Look at these videos of animals behaving like us. Or rather, as I'd prefer to describe them, videos of us animals — human and non-human — all behaving like each other.
One video, titled "Amazing Squirrel Fights Off Crows," shows a very agitated squirrel trying to keep three crows from eating the remains of a fellow squirrel just killed by a car. Outnumbered by the hungry crows, the squirrel resorts to lying on top of her dead friend's body to protect it.
Incidentally, when Cosmo watched that video with me, she focused on the crows. "That's birdy," she said. I had focused on the squirrels.
Another video, titled "bird mourning over friend," shows a pigeon nervously staying right by the side of a dead pigeon lying in the street. The pigeon circles the body of his fallen friend again and again.
A third video, titled "60min clip4 elephant funeral," shows several elephants frantically attempting to revive a dead infant, poking the baby elephant with their trunks and trying to get him back up. Once they realize their baby is dead, they file solemnly past the body in an apparent funeral procession.
When we watch such videos of animals interacting with each other we understand their behavior because of its similarity to ours. We hardly think about our differences.
I'll bet that few YouTube watchers — adults and children — were surprised by the neuroscientists' recent proclamation that human brains, other mammal brains, bird brains and even octopus brains show the physiological capacity for what we humans have called conscious behavior. To some extent, we're all conscious and therefore all capable of emotional suffering.
Now that we know that mammals and birds, like us humans, mourn the death of their friends and family, develop emotional attachments to each other and, in ways we don't yet understand, communicate with each other, shouldn't we humans expand the community in which we do unto others as we would have others do unto us?
While I was writing this column, Cosmo climbed halfway up on the cage behind me, leaned over till she almost reached my chair and said, "Hi."
I looked at her, said, "Hi," and returned to writing.
Then she climbed down and hid behind the cage, so that I could see only her head, and said, "Hi."
I answered, "Hi."
Then she scurried under my computer desk, looked up at me from the floor, and said, "Hi."
I finally realized that Cosmo wanted to play. I'm going to play with her now, because she plays with me when I want to play.
(Now watch "Two Dogs Dining.")

Cosmo Talks: Every Parrot Needs a Problem
Craige: Every parrot needs a pen problem to solve
By Betty Jean Craige
Have you ever tried to get dressed with a parrot clinging to your wrist? It's impossible! Or almost impossible.
First, if your parrot is on your left wrist, you have to hold your blouse with your left hand and put your right arm into the right sleeve. Then you have to switch the parrot from your left wrist to your right wrist and put your left arm into the left sleeve. Then you have to button your blouse with the parrot bobbing up and down as you use both hands to maneuver the buttons into the button holes. You try to keep your parrot from grabbing a button, or your necklace, with her beak.
My parrot is Cosmo, an African grey, who loves me so much she sometimes refuses to get off my wrist.
I also do the laundry and the dishes with Cosmo hanging on, and I open jars and bottles. Occasionally Cosmo chuckles.
I don't. At least, not out loud.
You're probably wondering why in the world I allow myself to be ruled by a 16-ounce bird.
This is why: Cosmo has extraordinary intelligence combined with the genes of free-flying ancestors. She still has a wild spirit — as do all birds, even caged birds — but she also has a human education, sort of. She has a great sense of humor, the ability to talk, an awareness of what I'm thinking and an infectious laugh. We love each other.
I want her to have a happy life, even if she's stuck in a house with one human, two dogs and no companions of her own kind.
To compensate for the absence of the thrills she would have gotten in Africa's rain forests, I give her as much intellectual excitement as I can. I watch animal shows on "television" — that is, the computer — with her. She is most fond of birdy webcams. I take her "in a car" to visit schools, churches and dinner clubs. Together, we give a course for my new favorite educational institution, OLLI, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
I let Cosmo wander freely around the house. After all, it's her home, too. I let her explore the interior of my closets, cabinets and drawers. I let her eat off my plate. I let her ride around the house on my wrist.
Sometimes I wonder whether this is normal. But at the age of 66 I don't worry much about what's normal — or about what other folks may think of me.
At the moment, Cosmo is stranded on top of a waste basket trying to figure out how to get down. I don't know how she got there. She is muttering, "Cosmooooooooooo!" — in the tone of voice I use when I find her where she shouldn't be. I think I'll let her solve the problem.
I wonder what is going on in her little brain.
Actually it's not so little, for a bird. Parrots have big brains relative to the size of their body. In fact, parrots and crows have a brain-to-body size ratio comparable to that of chimpanzees and gorillas.
McGill University animal behaviorist Louis Lefebvre, who finds a correlation between brain size and intelligence, has developed an "innovativeness" index to measure a bird's "IQ." He defines intelligence as the ability to adapt to different challenges, and he ranks crows the highest. Before coming to that conclusion, Lefebvre collected bird stories from around the world. Among them is the account of the Japanese carrion crows who place walnuts in front of tires when cars are stopped for a red light, and then recover the crushed nuts after the cars roll over them.
I would give the African grey high marks, but I'm happy to have the crow be valedictorian. I like crows and ravens.
Anyway, if Cosmo is as intelligent as she appears to be, she needs challenges to overcome and problems to solve.
She has already solved the problem of taking apart pens without breaking them.
One day Cosmo scurried into my study from her room. I picked her up, and then looked at her feet. Oh, no! Was she bleeding? "Cosmo!" I exclaimed. "What did you do?"
I carried her with me back into her room, not knowing what I'd find. But no glass, no blood. Thank goodness. Only a big, irregular stain of red ink seeping into the floor. Cosmo had dismantled the red pen that I kept at the back of the second shelf of my telephone stand.
I wonder whether I should supervise her more carefully.

Happy Birthday to me – My Blog is Three Years Old!
Cosmo Talks: Maybe we kind of miss the wild by Betty Jean Craige
Every morning when I get up, I see my faithful little mother squirrel watching me move through the house from the deck railing where she awaits her breakfast. She knows my habits, and I know hers. We are well acquainted with each other. We like each other.
So I put out bird seed and deer corn for her and her fellow squirrels, chipmunks and birds of all kinds who dine here.
Then I go back inside to fix breakfast for Cosmo, Kaylee, Mary and me. Cosmo is an African grey parrot. Kaylee and Mary are American Eskimo dogs.
Today, after we'd eaten, Cosmo scurried over to the sliding glass door and summoned me: "Look, that's birdy!"
Cosmo had seen three gorgeous crows land on the railing to join the squirrels for breakfast. Cosmo loves crows. She called out to them: "Caw, caw!"
Mary heard Cosmo and raced out the doggy door to make the crows flap their wings and fly onto the roof. Mary takes great pleasure in causing a flurry of feathers.
Kaylee heard Mary and barked.
Then I went into the bathroom to put on my makeup. Suddenly, I heard a commotion behind me. Cosmo was on the floor yanking the comforter, and Mary was on the bed indignantly trying to get Cosmo to release it.
I turned around, ready to stop the action. Cosmo looked up at me, dropped the comforter, and said, "Hi."
I live in a zoo, I thought in exasperation.
But no, not really. Residents of a zoo live in confinement and interact mainly with the zookeeper. They are under the zookeeper's control.
I live in a village whose residents happen to be of different species, some of them making their life indoors, some of them making their life outdoors. They interact with each other and don't obey me. These animals aren't under anybody's control. They still have a teeny bit of wildness in them — well, more than a teeny bit in Cosmo's case.
I like them that way. I want them all to feel free to be their true animal selves.
We humans love our animals, be they feathery, furry, hairy or scaly, be they indoor or outdoor. And we want them to love us.
What's interesting is that humans all over the world keep animals as pets, and have done so for millennia. Paleontologists have unearthed evidence for the domestication of dogs some 15,000 years ago and the domestication of cats some 9,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have discovered pictures of dogs resembling today's sight hounds in Egyptian tombs of 3000 BC, and a cat with a collar in an Egyptian tomb of 2400 BC, more or less. In Egyptian hieroglyphics, they've found depictions of caged doves and parrots.
Of course, Egypt is not the only ancient culture that kept pets. But Egyptians left good records.
I wonder whether the keeping of pets is related to our coming in out of the wild and getting civilized, when we became indoor people. Maybe we civilized humans don't want a complete separation from the wild.
I read that 39 percent of American households include at least one dog, 33 percent at least one cat, 12 percent at least one fish, 4.6 percent at least one bird and 35 percent at least one plant.
Nearly 17 percent of us feed wild birds. Probably the same 17 percent feed wild squirrels, though maybe not intentionally. I couldn't find statistics for squirrel feeding.
We humans have come a long way from the time we lived in the wilderness and huddled together around a fire in fear of wolves, bears and mountain lions, whose scary eyes we thought we saw gleaming in the nighttime forest. Now we're not afraid of wolves, bears or mountain lions, for we've shooed them out of our cities. And for the most part we've put them on reservations — wildlife sanctuaries, preserves, national parks — where we can enjoy their wildness safely. We've made them afraid of us.
But we must miss them. So we invite their tame relatives — dogs and cats, as well as birds, bunnies, ferrets and fish — into our homes, to cuddle, to play with us, to eat our food, even to doze alongside of us when we sleep. We are comforted by their presence. We love them.
I know whereof I speak. Whenever I settle down to read or write or watch a movie, I am aware that Kaylee is somewhere nearby quietly watching over me. Cosmo is also nearby watching over me, though she's not quiet. They keep me happy. Mary, however, is not nearby. She is usually in the bedroom watching over her dog biscuits.

Times of executive transition are always full of hope and promise, and such is the case at IRA as the Association's new executive director, Marcie Craig Post, takes the reins. Post was selected from among a strong field of candidates in a search effort initiated by the IRA Board of Directors last fall. After a lengthy process that included several rounds of intensive interviews, the board voted her appointment in early March, and announced her selection publicly on April 2, 2012.
Post brings more than 20 years of experience in the leadership and management of educational organizations to IRA. In each of her positions, she has focused on establishing and maintaining sustainable operations by applying strong expertise to longterm, mission-centric planning, data-driven outcomes-based growth, and the development of innovative products and services.
Among other roles, she has worked as an independent consultant, as the Chief Program and Education Officer for Global Partnership Schools, and as the Chief Executive Officer for Education Enterprises of New York, where she oversaw the operation of five affiliated nonprofit organizations, which included a school for students with learning disabilities, a community education center, and a foundation. Post also holds a Masters of Education in Higher Education degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
Reading Today recently caught up with Post, who graciously gave the following interview as a means of introducing herself to the broader membership of IRA. Starting in the next issue of the magazine, Marcie will be contributing her own regular column.
Congratulations on your appointment.What are your first thoughts about the new role you are now embarked on?
Well, it is an incredible joy and pleasure for me to have this personal opportunity to contribute to the work of the International Reading Association, an organization I have been aware of for a long time. The value IRA brings to its members is enormous, including providing tools for developing literacy, reading, and language skills that are vital for the world's future. This is an astounding and humbling moment. I am excited by it, and especially excited to do a lot of learning—looking, forming questions, and then informing the future direction that IRA will take.
What are the top three things you want the IRA community to know about you as you begin?
First, that I am a practical, down to earth, and open individual who really wants to know and understand the front line of teaching and learning, so that their work informs the services and programs that IRA provides. At one level it can seem easy to chart or direct strategy, but the indispensable element of successful strategy must be a link back to the practical reality of the classroom teacher.
Second, I am a very real person who likes to double check how things fit and what is truly manageable in effective education. I am intent on absorbing all aspects of evidence based practices. I take a management perspective, that is to say, I take a realistic view in approaching challenges. I like to check things against today's reality, set a strategic course to tackle the challenge, and set a clear target for achievability.
Finally, I have a lot of past experiences which I bring to the work at-hand in IRA. I'm a positive person who brings endless optimism to everything that I do and I will bring this perspective to my new task. I am someone who thrives in a positive workplace and want to ensure that IRA provides a positive environment of support and collaboration. I will reach out to the membership to learn how IRA can best support them in terms of the association's services, information, tools, and products.
Earlier in your career you headed up a school for special needs children. What were some of the special challenges there and how did you address them?
When I first started at the Norman Howard School in Rochester, NY, great things were happening there. This is a state approved private school that was achieving great things with high needs students and producing astounding results. The odd thing was that although the school was successful, they could not specifically identify what it was that brought about success for students! It happened every day, but the key elements of the school's success had never been named or codified. So the challenge I set for myself was to figure this out so that we could name the effective practices and back the program with evidence.
Working with the faculty and an independent consultant, the school identified ten primary themes of practice and through research review, backed each practice with evidence of effectiveness. To improve instructional practice, staff collected and analyzed student data in the areas of reading and writing, identifying gaps and trends in learning. The information gleaned from this exercise was used to revise the scope and sequence of reading and writing instruction in grades 5 through 12, providing continuity in the strategies used across grade levels. The Norman Howard School also provided a supportive environment that fostered the social and emotional development of students. Over the years, the school provided top-notch professional development for its teachers and opened up access of those opportunities for educators from the Western New York region.
You also headed up a group of affiliated non-profits, including an educational foundation, which you managed for growth and sustainability. How will that experience help you in your new role?
My past fundraising experience brings a considerable amount of value. The foundation work was extremely strategic, with a focus on developing each organization's potential for sustainability. The Foundation identified areas for program and organizational development and secured the necessary resources for implementation and operation. I worked extensively with the boards of each organization. The boards operated in concert at the foundation level to ensure planning was aligned to mission and purpose and adequate funding was available to meet strategic goals. These organizations were very creative in accessing a wide variety of funding opportunities, which is something I hope to bring to IRA.
You have also done fund development work. What is your opinion of the current climate for literacy-related grants from the public and private sectors?
While private opportunities for giving exist, there is greater potential from raising corporate foundation dollars, especially where partnership is involved.
As I see it, the climate for securing foundation dollars is likely to improve as the economy strengthens. In addition, the media and policy attention on education and improving classrooms will continue to present funding opportunities that IRA will explore.
I believe that IRA is well positioned to access some of these dollars, but we will need to be deliberate and selective in going forward. It is essential that we ensure that partnerships and funding opportunities are appropriate for our mission and purpose, otherwise we run the risk of letting the funding tail wag the mission dog. Our funding focus should support the needs of our members, and partnerships should be mutually beneficial and synergetic.
At the school you helped design professional development events targeted primarily at teachers. What do you see as the crucial elements of successful PD?
In my view, the elements of quality and depth are most important. A strong model of PD provides teachers with knowledge, strategies, and tools that have real-time practical application. Topics need to have a high degree of relevance and utility and if possible, meet an immediate need of educators.
I believe in a deep-dive approach in PD, with opportunities for repeated learning of a single topic, so that participants can develop their expertise on the subject. Topics presented, modeled, and reinforced over a course of time have a better chance at translating into actual instructional practice.
Finally, it is essential to measure the effectiveness of PD to ensure that we're delivering the right topics, the right tools, and that our members are walking away with the knowledge to apply what they have learned. If you want growth to be permanent, your follow-up learning on the topics has to be sustained. I really do see opportunities here for IRA in ensuring that members are getting, and we're providing them with, the PD they want and need. We can also learn from our state councils, many of whom are providing excellent PD opportunities for their membership, and assist other councils with implementing strong models for PD and program measurement.
You spent two years working as chief program officer for Global Partnership Schools, dealing in part with programs and services for public school turnarounds. Do you think the American education system needs a new model?
Now that's some question! Do I think we need a new model? Yes. Do I have an overall single idea on how to solve a problem of this magnitude? No.
Sometimes I like to start my reflections on this issue by simply asking myself how meaningful change could possibly take place. I think it requires a frame of mind that says "no more business as usual," and that a new way of envisioning schools must take root.
Needless to say, the problem has many facets. When I was in Rochester, I attended literacy summits organized by the mayor's office. It became clear to me from these sessions that things like access to reading materials, difficulty with home life, family dynamics, and quality of neighborhoods all play a part in the educational experience of the nation's students.
So it remains a massive, perplexing, fascinating problem. My preference is to think less about general reform and more about fixing one very important thing, because this approach offers more hope. My suggestion is that it is time for us to be more attentive in how we craft the high school experience.
We are not meeting the learning needs of adolescent students where they're at, and we need to make the high school curriculum far more relevant and engaging to much larger groups of students. The thing we need to accomplish is to see a real change in the dropout rate for high school students, as they are today's most at-risk segment of the population. Their educational deficits, left unchecked, will keep them barred from the opportunities and experiences they would otherwise be able to enjoy in the global job market.
What is it about the cause of literacy that so excites you?
I have worked for many years with students who struggled to read but who could grasp the knowledge the text was designed to relay. These students grappled every day with the simple mechanics of reading, but with the right supports, were just as able as their peers without reading disabilities to progress in their learning and be successful academically. While the number of students who face reading difficulties because of disabilities is significant, I believe a more critical issue that we as educators grapple with is that our youth who can read may be losing their motivation to do so.
This is a crucial issue. We need to explore and understand the motivators for reading and the way in which our students access the written word – no matter what form it is in, including and most importantly, electronic media. We need to ask ourselves how we are going to develop, modify, and fit instruction to the way that students are most likely to access books and information.
When I was a child, I lived two doors down from the local public library. I can remember summer days when my mother packed my lunch and sent me off to spend the whole day there. I would sit among the stacks, going through all of the picture books and then the junior readers and I knew each librarian by name. That was my portal to literacy access.
Times are different now and so is the portal. We have to ponder how reading has changed, and what we need to do with children and adolescents at different stages to make reading relevant, alive, and vibrant in their lives. We need to meet our youth where they are in terms of reading and accessing information and it will be increasingly more important to adapt our schools and methods of instruction to this reality.
Can you name three books that have made a deep impact on you and explain why?
I'd be happy to. One would be Schools that Learn by Peter Senge. Senge argues that the capacity to learn is the most important capacity schools need to have, and that this capacity involves areas like personal mastery, shared mental models and vision, teamwork, and systemic thinking. The book shows how systematic thinking can be applied to schools.
As for a third, I'd have to say Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink. Pink explains how things like autonomy, mastery, and purpose feed motivation.
Finally, I have to say that music has always had a deep impact in my life. I think I must have the world's largest iTunes library, which includes just about everything from classical music to Eminem, from Broadway show tunes to opera. Music is very important in my life.
If you could make one request of the IRA community at this time what would it be?
Be courageous! I believe that the next few years will take a tremendous amount of courage and creativity to fine tune the work that we are doing and to find different ways we can do it. We are primed for this challenge, and by taking it on we are honoring the history of IRA and its enduring legacy.
Is there anything else you would like to add to close out this interview?
My personal preparation for my new role has already commenced. I have been in contact with the leadership at several other nonprofit membership organizations to ask what challenges they are facing and get a sense of what they are doing to meet their members' needs.
I hope that people will pick up right away that I am a direct, honest, and frank person. Mostly, I want people to know that I am a closer. Not being able to see the ultimate end result of my work was one of my biggest disappointments when I did consulting. I like to stick around to see what happens, to experience the end result, to see what worked and what didn't, and where we might need to change course.

The Lakers have remained anxious for Steve Nash's return.
But they will have to wait some more.
In a brief interview with this newspaper after the Lakers' 113-103 loss Sunday to the Orlando Magic, Nash said the non-displaced fracture in his left leg hasn't healed enough for him to play in at least the Lakers' three-game trip this week. They have stops in Houston (Tuesday), New Orleans (Wednesday) and Oklahoma City (Friday). The Lakers then have a home game Sunday against Utah.
Nash said he plans to fly with the team to receive further treatment, but he hardly sounded optimistic about his return.
"Another 10 days to two weeks?" Nash wondered aloud. "That's a total guess. Since I can't run, I'm not going to play this week."
Nash has already missed 15 games, his longest span since 1999. He said he's not currently planned to take another MRI. Nash has participated in various agility and jogging drills in the past week, and shot jumpers during pregame warmups.
"The recovery time is getting better," Nash said. "But it's a small improvement."

YabbSE: Dump Database times out
This is probably a PHP or SQL issue rather than YSE specific, but here we go:
I went into the Admin control panel in order to back up my forum. I clicked the "Dump database" link, then "structure and data".
It started to send me the file, which was fine - but after about 5 minutes the download cut off. (I'd received about 20 MB of the 60 MB database).
I tried again a few times, but it kept cutting me off at about the same time. I adjusted the "set_time_limit" in dump_database.php to 100000 but the same problem happened.
So, I asked my web host - apparently they have a server setting to terminate scripts after 300 seconds and they won't increase it.
So, what's the best way to back up the database? Is there a utility which will dump say 1000 rows at a time, and you could run the script multiple times until it had exported the whole thing? Any experiences?
if you have shell access, or access to cronjobs, then you can do it via mysqldump:
mysqldump -u<username> -p<password> <database> > database.sql
and then just download that via ftp

A taste of autumn – at a nearby cider mill
Staff Writer

Plymouth Orchards & Cider Mill, Plymouth http://plymouthorchards.com (734) 455-2290 Distance from WCC: 7.7 miles Plymouth Orchards is located on a property with history. The original operation was opened in 1977 on Warren Road. The road-side business sat on the front of a historic dairy farm and 60 acres of land. Since then, the land has been revamped to include a cider mill, pressroom and stockroom that churn out thousands of gallons of natural cider and dozens of fresh doughnuts in order to fill the needs of clamoring customers during the fall season. The orchard offers scenic wagon rides throughout its property. A U-Pick pumpkin patch and 16 varieties of dwarf apple trees compliment the landscape and serve as an activity for mill visitors.

Three to five different varieties of apples are used in each press to create a unique taste. In addition to the natural cider, the mill also produces fresh doughnuts, caramel apples and apple nut bread in their bakery. On the weekends, the store's shelves are stocked with homemade apple pies, apple strudel, apple turnovers and hand-rolled gingersnaps.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Rachel Wolfinbarger knows that the myth that a 20% downpayment is needed to buy a home today is just a myth. That's because this California blogger last year bought a $255,000 Rancho Cucamonga home for $255,000 and put down just 3.5% to get a mortgage backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
Even sweeter, her house has had substantial appreciation in the hot Southern California housing market. Said Wolfinbarger: "I couldn't think of a better scenario--having over 20% worth of equity within about a year when we only put down about 3%."
She's not alone. Buyers in the tends of thousands are discovering that in 2013 there are plentiful ways to buy a home with little savings.
Other buyers, with cash in their pockets, are skimping on downpayments, because they would rather borrow plenty at today's historically low rates,
Cross country in East Harlem, banker Michael Germano just bought a four-family townhome at 117th and 1st for a price in the low seven figures, and he did it with around 10% down, not the traditional 20%. He explained his thinking: "Mortgage rates are so low, why not take advantage of it? I can generate more of a return for my money in other investments."
"There are many options for buyers who want to put little or nothing down," said Michael Moskowitz, president of Equity Now, a New York City-based direct mortgage lender. His firm advice for house hunters who want to go this route: "Only work with mortgage brokers who can show you multiple options. Some sell only one product, and that won't be best for all buyers."
Moskowitz, for instance, is himself not a fan of FHA low-down loans ("they are too expensive," he said). but he very much likes Veterans Administration (VA) no downpayment loans, which get even better for disabled vets.
Importantly, VA loans can be obtained with no private mortgage insurance (PMI), standard baggage on many low downpayment mortgages. PMI adds costs of up to 1% to 2% of the mortgage per year (that is $3,000 to $6,000 on a $300,000 loan).
An equally sweet deal for some buyers are mortgages backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These loans can cover 100% of the cost of a home, which has to be in a "rural area," per the USDA, but much of the country falls within that definition. USDA loans, said experts, require mortgage insurance, but at rates dramatically lower than those imposed by FHA.
Don't think that the only place to find low down loans is through the federal government. At Tropical Financial, a credit union in Miramar, Fla., mortgage sales manager Doug Leever said, "We have a first time buyer program that we'll lend 97% of the home's value, and the 3% down can be gift money."

The Warriors downed Concordia 5-2 then demolished Eastern Oregon 13-1 in seven innings to go to 7-0 on the season.
In Sunday's first game, Eastern Oregon beat Linfield 7-4.
Although L-C was the only team to win its three tournament games -- Concordia was 2-1, Eastern Oregon 1-2 and Linfield 0-3 -- a champion was not officially declared since the final round was scrapped due to the cold-weather postponement of Friday's games.
The three visiting teams all made season-opening appearances in the tournament.
L-C 5, Concordia 2
The Warriors immediately jumped on Concordia, producing all their runs and six of their 11 hits in the first two innings.
L-C's two-run first centered around Matt Vogel's RBI triple, while the Warriors unloaded five singles in the second, among them RBI raps by Nick Currin and Vogel. Allen Balmer also drew a bases-loaded walk from Concordia starter Mike Allen (0-1).
L-C starter Austin Weilep (1-0) lasted six innings, allowing seven hits and two sixth-inning runs while striking out five and walking none. Jeff Duda finished the game with three shutout innings, yielding two hits while striking out three, to earn the save.
Despite committing five errors, the Warriors did not surrender an unearned run.
