The owner's guide to superyacht naval architecture part 1 - learning your lines
by Tim Thomas
Two years ago, says Peter Bouma, a naval architect at Vripack in Holland, we had a Brazilian owner who wanted a displacement trawler. During our initial talks about the design, he put to us a requested design speed that was 2.5 knots above the designs hull speed. For us naval architects, this is a terrible speed to design to. Not only is it complex to get a good estimation for, its also not an efficient speed from a fuel economy point of view. His reasoning was logical he wanted to sail in quite heavy seas, but his typical weekend trip was going to an island and back in a day. He wanted that particular speed to be able to have dinner at a certain time and still get back before nightfall. The answer was to install a big, expensive engine and to burn a lot more fuel on that specific trip a compromise that, once explained, he decided he was prepared to make.
I am sitting in Vripacks offices in the Dutch town of Sneek to talk about the basic elements of naval architecture that every owner should know. With me are Bart Bouwhuis, director of design; Ierring Faber, manager of the naval architecture side; and Aleksandr Markov and Peter Bouma, both Vripack naval architects. Boumas example of the Brazilian owners request highlights the importance of understanding what you require from your new yacht, and therefore what compromises you might have to make. Its a key aspect of the concept design phase, and a key element to ensure your dreams can, in fact, become reality. And for all the styling up top, naval architecture is still king. For sure, you can create a body under any object, says Bouwhuis, and it will float and have the right stability, but how will it behave in a seaway? Well, thats a different matter, so it all really depends on the operational profile.
Design revolves around a golden triangle that must always be in balance speed, weight and power. Whenever you alter one of these factors, the others must also change to keep the triangle balanced. So, for example, if you add weight, you also have to add power, or lose speed; if you want more speed, you have to add power or reduce weight; and if you reduce power, you either have to reduce weight, or lose speed.
Theres no magical solution to break this triangle, explains Bouma, and when a client comes with an idea that apparently does break the triangle, theres always an explanation perhaps a different material has been specified so the overall weight is less, for example.
If you look at the three general hull forms available for yacht design, they all demonstrate the different solutions of this balancing act. A displacement hull has a limited top speed (more on that shortly), and within the speed range if you want a high volume, heavy displacement boat, you need to add more power. Similarly, if you want smaller engines for the same size yacht, you either accept that you will go slower, or will have to compromise on volume and weight lessening the displacement, in effect. Displacement, of course, is simply the weight of the water that is displaced by the yacht the hole in the water, if you will. We have Archimedes to thank for that discovery.
A semi-planing or planing hull requires a different balance of the triangle. In these cases, your power requirement goes up with the speed for a given weight, or you have to reduce weight in order to get the higher speeds. Naturally, it is never quite as simple as this, and there are some key factors that determine what can and cant be done with a hull design. It is these factors that show why you cant have a large, high-volume and heavy displacement steel yacht that planes at 60 knots, for example. If youve ever talked to naval architects about the design of your new project, it is likely you will have heard them bandy around arcane terms such as prismatic coefficients and Froude numbers. But what do these mean? Having a basic grasp of these concepts means that you will not only have some idea of what the naval architect is talking about, but will also help at the concept stage in realising why your 60-knot planing steel giant is just not possible.
Hull speed
The defining characteristic between different hull forms, particularly between displacement hulls and semi-planing or planing hulls, all revolves around theoretical hull speed. Many of us will know the standard, simple formula for working out the theoretical hull speed in knots of any given yacht its nothing more than the square root of the waterline length in feet multiplied by 1.34. So a yacht with a waterline length of 150 feet (45.14 metres) will have a theoretical hull speed of root 150 x 1.34, or 16.4 knots. But what does this mean, and why is there a boundary here?

I'm supposed to be the Tech Savvy one out of the group but it was one of my dear friends who showed me something on the iPhone that was just horrifying… On an iPhone go to the search feature, type in any word, phrase, or name you know you've typed somewhere into the iPhone before. Notice how it pulls up text messages, emails, etc that you have DELETED! Scary right?
Turn it OFF…Turn it OFF
To turn it OFF and remove what is already in the search go to: Settings > General > Spotlight Search > UN Check the items you no longer want to appear in the search > turn off the iPhone for a few minutes. Now the items you UNchecked no longer appear in the search. If you want any of the items to appear that you've turned off, simply turn checkmark them back on and it will show the results just from the new items currently on your iPhone, not the deleted message. However, if you turn it back on the process will repeat itself so keep in mind those texts you thought you deleted will appear in the Spotlight Search.

U.S. Rep. Steve King will be hosting a gathering for 2016 Republican candidates scheduled for January of 2015. So far, numerous 2016 Republican hopefuls have committed with more expected to confirm in the next two months. The event, called the Iowa Freedom Summit, it also sponsored by the group Citizen's United, which may sound familiar due to the Supreme Court case.
Report from KCRG:
Western Iowa U.S. Rep. Steve King is planning a caucus 2016 kickoff featuring at least three potential Republican presidential candidates in January.
King, who earlier this month was re-elected to a seventh term, will team up with Citizens United to host the inaugural "Iowa Freedom Summit" in Des Moines Jan. 24.
Among the confirmed speakers are Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. [Emphasis added]
Also in the lineup are Utah Sen. Mike Lee; Tennessee U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn; former Ambassador John Bolton and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.
Additional speakers are expected to be announced in the near future.
"Midterm elections gave our country a dramatic shift in possibilities," King said. "It is exactly the right time to bring our national leaders to Iowa to hear them cast a conservative vision for our Nation's future."
King's desire is to keep Iowa front and center when it comes to presidential politics. It appears he is hoping to hold a second event in January of 2016 just before the Iowa caucuses as well.

Early in the pages of Being with Dying, Joan Halifax, a Zen Buddhist priest and former medical anthropologist with 30 years experience working with the dying, quotes a story from the Hindu epic the Mahabharata in which a wise king is asked, "What is the most wondrous thing in the world?" The king replies, "The most wondrous thing in the world is that all around us people can be dying and we don't believe it can happen to us."
Few of us can claim never to have experienced the terror expressed by Claudio in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure at the thought of human life's inescapable finitude:
The weariest and most loathed worldly life
That age, ache, penury and imprisonment
Can lay on nature is a paradise
To what we fear of death.
In The Denial of Death (The Free Press, 1973) Ernest Becker famously proposed "death denial" as a primary (though generally unconscious) shaping force in human behavior and the universal fear of death as the driving force of culture and religion. Subsequent researchers inspired by Becker's work, such as Sheldon Solomon, professor of psychology at Skidmore College, report empirical validation of hypotheses related to the "immortality systems" purportedly generated by this death denying instinct.
Halifax's work is a powerful, Buddhist-oriented addition to the growing recent body of literature suggesting that an alternative to denial (which may only serve to compound our fear of mortality) is to develop conscious strategies in the here-and-now that help us to see death on a continuum with the impermanent flux of life and thereby prepare us not only to accept death when it finally comes with greater equanimity but also to live more fully in the years, days or hours we have left. Her approach has some parallels with that of existentialist psychotherapist Irvin Yalom, who in Staring at the Sun (Josey Bass, 2008) and previous works outlines the effectiveness of focusing on our interconnection with others, present moment awareness, and self-realization, in coping with the fear of death.
Halifax's principal contrast with Yalom's work is in the large set of practical meditative exercises, drawn from Buddhist tradition and her own teaching, which accompany each of her chapters' thematically organized reminiscences and reflections on different aspects of her work with people dying and grieving. Consistent with the non-proselytizing and experiential character of Buddhist thought, Halifax offers both the reflections and exercises in the spirit of a gift, to be utilized to the extent that the readers wishes to try them out and see what works.
Her first question is therefore: how we do want to die, and what do we imagine as our "worst" and "best" possible deaths? Contemplating the way in which we will ideally end our life is of a piece with reassessing priorities in terms of how we choose to live right now: "We go through a lot to educate and train ourselves for a vocation…So now please ask yourself what you are doing to prepare for the possibility of a sane and gentle death." (Halifax, 8)
The book then moves through reflections and suggested meditative exercises related to impermanence; common cultural myths of the dying process such as the "good death" (and their contrast to the inevitably individual, and often messy, reality of death as it actually occurs); our relationship to pain; self-care for carers to minimize secondary trauma and the risk of burn-out; the psychological pitfalls of unconsciously adopting an archetypical helping role in relation to the dying such as hero, martyr, expert or priest; the centrality of forgiveness and reconciliation for the dying to establish closure on damaged relationships; the actual experience of moving from life to death according to Buddhist meditative insights; care for the body after death; and help for the grieving.
Many of us fear dying alone. In reality, according to Halifax's several decades of work with people near death, the actual moment of death more often occurs when the family has left the room (perhaps because the dying person feels less "responsible"" to stay alive for his loved ones when they are not physically present at the bedside, Halifax speculates). But the deeper message of Being with Dying is that recognizing our radical interdependence with others --- that "no man is an island", to quote John Donne -- provides a potential path to a less fearful experience of death and a more joyful and compassionate life. This fearless and compassionate life is one in which we come to see our own apparently short, limited life as comparable to one of the jewels in the infinite net of jewels described in the Buddhist Avatamsaka Sutra (Halifax, 101). In this lovely image, each jewel reflects all of the other jewels, and is thus both reflective of infinity and constituted by an infinite network of relationships beyond itself: simultaneously universe and grain of sand.
Western newcomers to Buddhist thought often find the concept of "rebirth" a major obstacle to fully embracing a code of ethical and meditative practices that appear to offer the potential of psychological and spiritual growth with little of the mythological or supernatural baggage of other major world religions. The idea makes more sense when contextualized by an understanding of the Buddhist conception of the illusory nature of the independent self, which distinguishes "rebirth" from the transmigration of the soul, since nothing can be literally reborn that never existed independently in the first place. In any case, Halifax astutely avoids such philosophical intricacies altogether in the interest of focusing the book on pragmatic questions applicable to people who care for the dying and the rest of us for whom mortality is sadly non-negotiable.
This practical emphasis is wise, partly because Sogyal Rinpoche's bestselling The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (Harper San Francisco, 1992) -- and the prior Tibetan texts which inspired this work -- cover the "rebirth" material comprehensively, but mainly because the book's wide potential readership of doctors, nurses, hospice workers, therapists and counselors may find a relatively demythologized primer on the Buddhist approach to death and dying much more helpful and accessible than a text that presented a fuller and perhaps off-putting theological picture. That said, Halifax does provide a lucid meditative exercise based on the Tibetan description of the "dissolution of the elements" of body and mind during and after death (Halifax, 170-175), which in the absence of any other universally accepted evidence offers at minimum a plausible vision of what eventually might be in store for us. I'm happy to report that it's far more pleasant than the icy hell conjured in Claudio's imaginings:
You are bliss and clarity. Now the clear light of presence is liberated, the mother light of your awareness.
This is your ultimate great perfection.
This is the actual moment of your death.

So this is not a very happy post...but hopefully still one that's worth reading.
Yesterday we received an email from our agency that the U.S. Consulate in China will be moving to a new location in mid-July (around the time we were expected to arrive there). With this move they will be closing down shop for about a week and a half. We have no idea what this will mean for us, except that our trip will possibly be delayed some.
On top of this, we received news today that CCCWA (The China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption) has been experiencing technical challenges since implementing their new database. This is also causing delays. Our last step - receiving our travel approval - was supposed to happen in the next 2-3 weeks, but unless CCCWA's technical issues are resolved soon, it will probably take longer to receive our TA.
Obviously these are not the kind of news we wanted to receive...but we know that God is still the One who guides us through every step of this adoption process. He knows the end from the beginning. We trust that He already has the best dates picked out for our travels.
Please continue to keep us and other families affected by these delays in your prayers.
God is gracious,
"They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them." Psalm 112:7

Five years after MF Global's collapse after big, levered bets on European bonds blew up leaving a $1.6 billion shortfall in customer funds, WSJ reports former New Jersey Gov. and Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine is nearing a deal to pay $5 million to end a U.S. regulator's lawsuit.
Ending what The Wall Street Journal calls a long and messy chapter in a four-decade career which touched the pinnacles of Wall Street and politics...
Mr. Corzine reached the tentative settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in June, submitting to a ban from trading client money in commodities and others assets regulated by the commission, the people said. A final deal has been on hold as the commission negotiates a resolution to its case against another former executive at MF Global, the people said. The terms may still shift ahead of a final deal, several people said.
Mr. Corzine has denied wrongdoing and said he never directed anyone to dip into customer funds.
Criminal prosecutors investigated the roles Mr. Corzine and other executives played in the shortfalls, but brought no charges. A federal judge approved a $132 million settlement between former MF Global executives, including Mr. Corzine, and the firm's customers earlier this month, resolving most of the legal headaches stemming from MF Global. Only the CFTC case remained unresolved.
The CFTC sued Mr. Corzine and a top lieutenant in 2013 in a civil case and accused them of overseeing the misuse of nearly $1 billion in customer funds. In the lawsuit, regulators said Mr. Corzine "bears responsibility" for the New York firm's unlawful actions and said the two violated the Commodity Exchange Act, which requires brokers to segregate customer funds.
The CFTC case against Mr. Corzine and MF Global's treasurer, Edith O'Brien, had been scheduled to go to trial next month, but that date was canceled as both former executives worked to reach a deal with the agency, according to court records.
It's good to have friends.
Mr. Corzine's agreement was presented to the three-member commission in June, but was met with questions from both Democratic commissioner Sharon Bowen and Republican J. Christopher Giancarlo, according to people familiar with the discussions. At least one of the commissioners asked whether the deal sufficiently punished Mr. Corzine and whether his agreement was fair compared with a deal that Ms. O'Brien would receive, the people said.
Finally, we note that, as of May, MF Global's insurers had covered $97 million worth of legal defense costs for the company's sued executives, court papers say. The earlier settlement relied on the remaining insurance coverage of $184 million, with some funds reserved for the CFTC action.
As WSJ concludes, it is also unclear if Mr. Corzine can use insurance money to cover the CFTC penalty.

Hurricane Gustav was not the only tempest to make landfall in the U.S. over the weekend: The shocking news of Bristol Palin's pregnancy also packed quite a punch.
Much to the chagrin of Republican strategists, the storm was not as successful in distracting media outlets from news of the 17-year-old's pregnancy as they had hoped and word spread faster than you can say 'moose burger.'
The announcement came on the first day of the Republican National Convention and less than a week after Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain named Alaska Gov. -- and soon-to-be grandmother -- Sarah Palin as his running mate.
U.S. & World
The news dominated coverage of the RNC, which had been significantly scaled back as Hurricane Gustav pounded the Gulf Coast.
But as the storm waned yesterday and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama said that the topic was off-limits, tabs and others seized on the story, dredging up tawdry details of the high schooler's relationship with her baby daddy. Regardless of political leanings, everyone had an opinion on the weekend shocker:
- The disclosure was an unwanted distraction for the McCain campaign, according to news analysis by the NYT.
- But the announcement could be a boon to the campaign by underscoring Palin's "Just Like Us" quality that makes her likeably unremarkable, according to Politico.
- Slate's John Dickerson disagreed and wrote that these shocking revelations about Palin's family are an indication that McCain is being reckless.
- Reckless or not, the WaPo's Ruth Marcus wrote that Bristol Palin's pregnancy should be a red flag to all -- regardless of party -- that sex ed is a good thing and also it can happen to any family.
- The WSJ editorialized that "all parents empathize" with Palin and she ought to be admired for sticking to her convictions.'
- Still, Sally Quinn of the WaPo argues that McCain chose Palin only because she is a woman and that her daughter's pregnancy is a real problem for family values voters.
Also under scrutiny is McCain's vetting process. Though he insists that he knew that Palin's teenage daughter was pregnant before he chose her as his running mate, McCain is now being forced to reveal details about the interview process.

2019 already?
Between the very snowy weather, the monthly story-tellings, and some out-of-town tellings, we have been off to a very busy 2019. Can you believe it will be March in just one more week? I can hardly believe it's the new year!
Next month we'll have two great public events in Sonora - The Mother Lode Storytelling Guild, Columbia College, and Tuolumne County Arts welcome Internationally Acclaimed Storyteller Dovie Thomason for two exciting evenings. Dovie is a National Endowment for the Arts and Arts International recipient. She was also awarded The Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers' Traditional Storyteller of the Year, and is a member of the National Storytelling Network's Circle of Excellence
On Thursday March 14, she will be presenting a program at Dogwood Forum, Columbia College called "The Spirit Survives: The Indian Boarding School Experience Then and Now," discussing the tragic history of the Indian Boarding School Movement. Dovie shares the story of Native-born children, who were taken from their homelands and families for the purpose of "assimilation." She will help her audience take a more serious look at how this practice affected families and communities, breeding anger, prejudice, and violence. Even today the impact reverberates. Columbia College counselor Stephanie Beaver will moderate this event, which will include a Q & A session. This event is presented by Columbia College Foundation and the Mother Lode Storytelling Guild, and is free to the public.
The next evening with be our annual For Adult Ears Only event! Dovie will share her culture with understanding, humor and elegance. $20 Tickets include an elegant dessert, and are available at Tuolumne County Arts' offices, in the Sonora Inn, and at Mountain Bookshop in the Sonora Junction. During intermission there will be a gift basket raffle and a quilt raffle. In addition, wine by the glass will be available for an additional charge.
In between, Dovie will be telling stories at local schools! What a great experience for those lucky young people.
And the next day, Saturday March 16, is our monthly storytelling at Sonora Joes. Free to the public, and this month will be our annual Irish/St. Patrick's Day theme. There's been a lot of rainbows out lately. Anyone have any stories of finding gold at the end of one? I could sure use some tips!
Meanwhile, Kathy has gathered together a bunch of great pictures from recent events, hope to share those with you soon here and on the facebook page.
For details on the public events, check our facebook page or call/text our President, B.Z. Smith 209.559.7697.

We'd like to invite you to become acquainted with your WSU Clark/ Cowlitz County Master Food Preservers and learn why this volunteer organization is so important to the residents of Clark and Cowlitz Counties…and beyond. If you would like to learn how to become a MFP please go to our Master Food Preserver page.
Who and what are they?
Master Food Preservers (MFP's) are everyday people just like you and me, men and women that live throughout Clark County and Cowlitz County. From all walks of life from stay-at-home moms to retired executives, they are passionate about volunteering, learning and sharing knowledge on food preservation and food safety, and teaching those that would like to learn how to safely preserve the bounty of their gardens, farmers markets and gleaning. To become a MFP they must be accepted into the Master Food Preserver Training Program, attend seven days of intensive training/hands-on canning experience, pass an exam and then maintain their status as a MFP by volunteering a minimum amount of hours throughout the county every year, most which is done in Clark County. Veteran MFP's take re-certification tests yearly and take additional classes to update their knowledge.
What they do for you and me is very important!
MFP's attend events all over Clark County and some in Cowlitz County providing information on food preservation and food safety. They have how-to lectures and hands-on canning classes through the WSU Clark County extension office, go by invitation to various businesses in the community where they give lectures and/or demonstrations, and work booths at the Clark County Fair, Washington State Fair, CPU Home & Garden Idea Fair and Farmer's Markets to mention just a few. They are constantly answering questions, giving recommendations and sharing approved methods of food preservation. To reach the most people and to be of the best service to the community these dedicated volunteers do most of their volunteering on weekends and in the evenings when the demand is the greatest, giving of their time freely. Here are just a few of the other things MFP's do:
- Teach and/or assist with events and classes
- Test Pressure Canner Gauges
- Answer questions daily with Food Preservation Helpline
How did the Master Food Preserver Program start?
The Master Food Preserver Program (MFP) started in Washington State in 1976 in Seattle and Yakima Counties. In the years following other counties in Washington, including Clark County started the MFP programs. Master Food Preservers in Clark County have been helping others learn about safe food preservation methods for over 30 years. Due to the success of the MFP program in Washington the program has moved to many other states in the US. Currently in Washington there are active MFP programs only in Clark/Cowlitz and Benton/Franklin Counties.

Yelling to the Sky | Review
By Don Simpson | April 13, 2011
Director: Victoria Mahoney
Writer: Victoria Mahoney
Starring: Zoë Kravitz, Antonique Smith, Jason Clarke, Yolanda Ross
Yelling to the Sky is the story of Sweetness (Zoë Kravitz), the adolescent daughter of a Caucasian father, Gordon (Jason Clarke), and Black mother, Lorene (Yolanda Ross). We first meet Sweetness as she is surrounded by a gang of neighborhood bullies led by the intimidatingly rotund Latonya (Gabourey Sidibe); Sweetness' older sister, Ola (Antonique Smith), comes to her rescue and the siblings scurry home. (Presumably the encounter is related to Sweetness' mixed-race parentage.)
Things at home are certainly no less dire. Sweetness and Ola's father is a violent alcoholic who disappears for extended periods of time; their mother is a total zombie, incapacitated by depression and God knows what other afflictions. We sense an inner rage boiling within Sweetness, and it is not long before she starts peddling drugs in the stairwell of her high school and in front of C-Town. Sweetness' new found bad-ass nature promptly earns her some street cred and a small crew of minions. In a drastic turn of events, Sweetness even musters up enough power of persuasion to bully Latonya. Sweetness' principal (Tim Blake Nelson) tries to save her before things turn from bad to worse, but to no avail.
Meanwhile, Ola follows in their mother's footsteps and becomes pregnant by an abusive boyfriend. Ola moves in with the baby-daddy, only to return back to her dysfunctional family's home, battered and bruised with a newborn baby in her arms.
Following closely in the footsteps of Lee Daniels' Precious, YTTS features one clichéd narrative element right after another. Mahoney's portrait of a mixed-race family in Queens is definitely not a pretty one. Sweetness is given a plethora of family-related excuses to rebel; and it is not until her family realizes their many wrongdoings that Sweetness is able to be saved. In many ways, YTTS plays like an ABC Afterschool Special of yesteryear, especially in its neat and tidy conclusion. That said; the economic and socio-political messages embedded within YTTS are certainly not to be ignored. Mahoney has a lot to say and it is nearly impossible to not receive her messages loud and clear. For that, I give Mahoney a lot of credit.
The ambiguity in the time period is a little confusing and distracting to me. There are rotary phones, old televisions, vintage cars (including the old-style taxi parked in front of Sweetness' house) and classic 1970s stereo equipment; even the soundtrack includes some vintage tracks from the 1970s. (It is also interesting that the characters do not own/use cell phones.) Yet, the costuming is purely modern (modern models of vehicles also appear); also, a poster of Barack Obama appears in Sweetness's high school. Maybe I should just call YTTS…timeless?
To be perfectly honest, I really wanted to rate YTTS higher than Precious; but where Precious was technically sound, YTTS is terribly flawed. Besides the confounding mishmash of eras, the pacing and structure of Mahoney's film is haphazard at best; I would have also enjoyed less reliance on traditional Hollywood stereotypes to propel what little character development there is.

Harry Reid's Holiday 'Thank Yous'
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's year-end to-do list includes top priorities for the constituencies that helped him eke out a narrow victory last month over former Nevada state legislator Sharron Angle.
That list includes the DREAM Act, a must-have for many Hispanic groups, and legislation granting firefighters the right to collective bargaining, a top priority for unions. Mr. Reid's staff also circulated legislation that would allow casinos, horse tracks and slot-machine makers to operate online poker websites. The Senate majority leader is expected to start the clock later today on test votes for the immigration measure and the collective-bargaining bill.
Reid spokesman Jim Manley said the senator "supports every bill he's bringing up in the lame duck for the same reason the people of Nevada supported Senator Reid in November: it's the right thing to do for Nevada and the country."
Exit polls from Nevada showed Mr. Reid won two-thirds of the Hispanic vote and 69% of union households, and the state's casino industry was particularly active in turning out the vote and raising money for his campaign. The Culinary Union, which represents card dealers, bellhops and other casino employees, sought to give their members a break on Election Day to cast a vote for Mr. Reid…

Cure for Pakistan: ECT on elderly
Professor: 67 percent of elderly are depressed; ECT could be a "useful treatment"
December 13, 2007
'ECT — most useful to treat depression'
Daily Times, Lahore Pakistan
Staff Report
LAHORE: Despite all myths and misconceptions, electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) also known, as electric shock treatment, is most effective treatment to treat depression, said Dr Ashar Khan, Bond University, Australia.
He was delivering a lecture on ECT – An Evidence-based Approach on Monday at the University of Health Sciences (UHS). UHS vice chancellor Prof Malik Hussain Mubashir, senior professors and postgraduate medical students attended the lecture.
Highlighting the history, types and procedure of ECT, Dr Ashar said it had been shown clinically to be the most effective treatment of severe depression and to result in improved quality of life in both short and long-term. He said ECT was also being used in the treatment of mania, catatonia, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
Dr Ashar said it was widely accepted that ECT did not cause brain damage, though its side effects included confusion and memory loss around the time period of the treatment. He maintained that the treatment was also safe during pregnancy.
He informed the audience that ECT was generally reserved for use as a second-line treatment for patients who had not responded to drugs. The first-line use of treatment, he said, was for situations where immediate clinical intervention needed or alternative treatments were not advisable. Its effectiveness had not been demonstrated in substance abuse, anxiety or personality disorders, he added.
Dr Ashar said hundreds of thousands of people across the world had received ECT every year, usually in a course of 6-12 treatments administered 2 or 3 times a week. After the treatment, he said, drug therapy could be continued and some patients received continuation/maintenance ECT.
Prof Malik said about 67 percent elderly people in Pakistan were suffering from depression. He said for these people ECT could be a useful treatment. He said ECT was useful in ischemic heart diseases than tricyclic anti-depressants.
Prof Haroon and Prof Riaz Bhatti also spoke on the occasion.

Oil pulling is one of the weirdest (yet most fascinating) of the detox practices. But I have to admit, it is one of my favourites. Here's why!
Health benefits of oil pulling:
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic ritual and is simple, yet effective.
Here's how to 'pull like a pro!'
Upon waking, on an empty stomach and before brushing your teeth:
Sounds a bit yuck right? But believe me, the health benefits of oil pulling are far too good to pass up on this wonderfully wacky morning ritual.
Bonus pro tips for pulling:
Whoa! Slow down. There really is no need to gargle or swish the oil so fast that your jaw begins to ache. A slow, simple sucking between the teeth and around the mouth will suffice, and if you're pushed for time, this can be done as you take a shower or get dressed.
Find your (inner) bloke… Oil pulling does draw out some nasties and toxins, so be prepared to gag a little in the beginning. But stick with it and you'll soon be hoiking up like Kate Winslett in Titanic. Yes – ladies can spit too! Which brings me to the next point…
Spit – don't swallow!!! Whatever your pulling preferences, in this instance – make sure you spit and not swallow! The swishing of the oil draws out a host of bacteria, debris and toxins from your body through the mouth membrane and this is definitely NOT something you want to digest! I also suggest rinsing your mouth thoroughly afterwards and then brushing. You might even want to keep a separate toothbrush for the purpose of post-pulling.
Spice things up! Why not add a drop of oregano essential oil to the mix to further enhance the antibacterial, anti fungal and antiviral effect?
Follow these four tips and you'll be pulling like a pro in no time!
Lastly, Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Oil Pulling Therapy: Detoxifying and Healing the Body Through Oral Cleansing believes that 'All disease starts in the mouth.' He states that oil pulling can heal even chronic diseases such as intestinal, heart, kidney disease and more!
So for such a simple, inexpensive detox ritual, why not add it to your morning routine and try for yourself?
Happy pulling!

Many people dream of spending a vacation in the Florida Keys. Personally this has never been a dream, but I would like to say I have been there sometime.
With my recent work for a client in Miami I had the chance to fly in early one day and actually drive down to Key Largo. It is about a 90 minute drive south of Miami and is a rather pretty beautiful drive as well. Most interesting is teh fact that for a majority of the drive you are stuck in a corridor defined by fences and concrete dividers. I would imagine that the fences are there to protect the gators in the Everglades from the fast moving cars. ;)
Once I arrived in Key Largo, the first of the chain of islands in the Florida Keys, I had to find a place to stop and take pictures of the sunset. I actually stopped at the Carribean Club, site of the famous movie Key Largo. There are even statues of Bogie and Bacall in the club. It is an fairly open air place that was extremely relaxed and comfortable, even for someone like me. It stood right at the beach and they were fine with you stopping to watch the sun go down.
Of course I had to take part in that long time tradition of imbibing a cold one while the sun worked it's way toward the horizon. Some how sitting out on a picnic table while the sun goes down, your toes are in the sand, and there is a cold beer in your hand just make everything better. The world just seems to step back and let you be for one long minute. Nothing could intrude on this moment, not even the guys backing their diesel truck down the boat ramp to load their boat up at the end of a long day of fishing.
Looking around I noticed an out cropping that was reflecting so clearly in the water that you could almost swear that it was another in the water. A boat was anchored off in the distance looking equally as peaceful as the water was inviting. The birds even left me alone to enjoy this moment of rightness. Suddenly I could just imagine myself living here and not having a care in the world.
Then finally the sun found the horizon and lit the clouds. It looked as if the clouds had caught fire and the world was about to end between the horizon and the clouds. Almost as if the sun was defying the world to send it into it's nightly slumber once again.
Sadly this also marked the point where I needed to head back north so that I could prepare for a new day in which I would again return to my profession and help another customer with their problems.
Sadly this also marked the point where I needed to head back north so that I could prepare for a new day in which I would again return to my profession and help another customer with their problems.
But I will never forget that one evening on a beach with a beer and the sunset.

Kingdom's Midlands Operations Manager Chris Burman-Day (photographed right) has recently joined the management team of The 100 Peaks Challenge, which is aiming to raise money for forces charities in remembrance of his former SAS colleague Lloyd Newell who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2011.
This is a voluntary role which will see Chris become Risk Manager and will make use of his considerable security and risk expertise along with his experience of mountaineering and endurance racing. He will help to plan this monumental challenge, which will involve challenge members, support crew and vehicles, team medics and a support boat!
The 100 Peaks Challenge will see a team of fundraisers, lead by Lloyd's brother, aim to climb 100 peaks in England, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and Ireland, all above 2000 ft, back to back, travelling between each by TAB (marching carrying a pack), bicycle and kayaking across the Irish Sea. The challenge is planned for spring 2017 and the team will aim to complete it within 25 days, from the 23rd May to the 16th June. The challenge will culminate at the summit of Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons, infamous for its place in the testing and training of UK Special Forces soldiers.
The challenge has a fundraising goal of £100,000, and recently the gained the support of "the world's greatest living explorer" Sir Ranulph Fiennes, a ringing endorsement for such a physically and mentally demanding feat of endurance. Further details can be found online at www.100peaks.co.uk, on Facebook at The 100 Peaks Challenge and Twitter @The100Peaks.
The challenge will raise vital funds for two forces charities - Support Our Paras and ABF The Soldiers' Charity. Support Our Paras is a charity which supports The Parachute Regiment through the welfare of serving soldiers and families and those affected by recent operations, and through the maintenance of its regimental efficiency, ethos, spirit and heritage. They provide welfare assistance to serving soldiers and families to complement or fill the gaps in State provision, as well as supporting vital aspects of the Regiments daily life and history. The Soldiers' Charity gives lifetime support to serving and retired soldiers and their family, providing financial assistance to all soldiers and their families when in need. Half of their money is given direct to individuals to help in areas such as debt relief, mobility assistance, education bursaries, care home fees and respite breaks. The other half is given as grants to other charities.
No stranger to endurance events, Chris was a member of the 2005 Polar Challenge team and regularly competes in ultra distance and mountain running events. Having completed the arduous Gower 50 Ultra last month he is currently training for the Race to the Castle 46 mile ultra in December, which he will run twice, back to back (while the rest of the regional team enjoy their Christmas party)!! Chris joined Kingdom earlier this year and has nearly 20 years' experience of security and risk related disciplines, with experience in the military as well as public and private sector work. To find out more about Chris, please click here.
Kingdom looks forward to supporting Chris in this challenge, and believes that it is crucial to their core business success to act responsibly as a business, with the highest social, environmental and ethical standards. They want to achieve financial success, but also want to create value for stakeholders - from shareholders to customers, employees to business partners, and society as a whole. Corporate responsibility informs everything Kingdom does, and is deeply embedded in their core company values. These values influence Kingdom's approach to work and guides the way they treat their employees, customers and grow their business.

Ashleigh Johnson may have been a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers back in 2010, but her fandom has likely waned and dissipated, since she has filed a lawsuit against the trio.

Not that anyone who loves the Jonas Brothers really needs any extra holiday spirit, but the boys in the band are always going the extra mile for their fans, and they just did it again with this year's videotaped holiday message.
In the clip, sensibly titled 'Jonas Brothers Holiday Message 2012,' the brothers reflect on all the stuff they did in 2012 — including a tour and some time in the recording studio, as well as plenty of solo activity for the individual Jonases.

The video ends with brief cameo from Rocket Raccoon (played by former Stern Show guest Bradley Cooper) and a baby Groot (Vin Diesel), who was the breakout hit of the first space-set superhero adventure.
Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, and Michael Rooker reprise their roles in the James Gunn-directed flick, which introduces Kurt Russell as Ego the Living Planet.

This is a collaborative post with Casdon
As Emma approaches three years old, I'm seeing how much she loves pretend play. We bought her a kitchen for Christmas and she loves making the whole family 'cuppa teas' followed by a round of pancakes with tomato and sugar, if we're lucky. I love watching her in her kitchen, coming up with new things to make and when we got the opportunity to play with the new Mr Kipling Tea Set, we jumped at the chance.
The tea set by Casdon consists of replicas of Mr Kipling's cakes including French Fancies, Battenburg, Angel Slices, Cherry Bakewell, Apple Pie and Jam Tarts! There is also 4 mini cup and saucers, 4 plates for the cakes, a tea pot and milk jug and sugar pot. I knew Emma would absolutely adore this 🙂 The Mr Kipling tea stand has a different shape for each cake so Emma had great fun matching the shape on the cake to the correct shape on the tea stand; it was perfect for her age as she has just learnt all her shape names.
Emma had such great fun unpacking all the cakes and tea cups, as they were each individually wrapped in tissue paper. Once we had set the tea set up, she got stuck in right away with serving us a little cake and a cup of tea alongside. It was great to encourage her roleplay and she really enjoyed playing with it. I would say it is perfect for her age group (2.5 years old to three years old) and I would recommend it for birthday presents for her friends too.
I thought the tea set was high quality and I was impressed that the pretend cakes resembled the real Mr Kipling's cakes very much! It's been a great accompaniment to Emma's kitchen and she's been playing with it every day since we opened up the box. The Mr Kipling Tea Set is available from most good retailers RRP £11.99 and is suitable for children aged 3-8 years old.
We were gifted the Mr Kipling Tea Set for the purpose of this review but all views and opinions are my own.

put (one) off (one's) stride(redirected from put you off your stride)
put (one) off (one's) stride
To disturb, distract from, or interfere with what one is doing, such that they are unable to do it well. It really put me off my stride to have my parents watching while I worked on my painting. The boxer tried to put his opponent off his stride by getting in his face right before the fight.
put one off one's stride
1. Lit. to cause one to deviate from a rhythmic stride while walking, running, or marching. A rabbit ran across the path and put me off my stride.
2. Fig. to interfere with one's normal and natural progress or rate of progress. Your startling comments put Larry off his stride for a moment. He was put off his stride by an interruption from the audience.
put one off one's stride
Also, put one off one's stroke. Interfere with one's progress, distract or disturb one, as in The interruption put her off her stride for a moment, and she took several seconds to resume her train of thought , or The noise of the airplanes overhead put her off her stroke, and she missed the next ball . The first term, first recorded in 1946, alludes to the regular pace of a walker or runner; the variant, first recorded in 1914, alludes to the regular strokes of a rower. Also see throw off the track.
put someone off their strideBRITISH
If something puts you off your stride, it stops you from concentrating on what you are doing, so that you do not do it as well as usual. It was clearly a tactic designed to put his opponent off his stride. Note: The verbs knock and throw are sometimes used instead of put. Perhaps a few jokes during the game will knock Chris off his stride. Compare with put someone off their stroke.
