Also, if anyone has any special requests, let me know.

The Sangha is one of the Three Jewels of Buddhism. It is the wider community of those who try to practice the teachings of the Buddha at any level of attainment. In the truer sense it is the community of those who have attained genuine spiritual insight. It is in this sense that the Sangha is one of the Three Jewels. The wider sangha is there to support those with spiritual aspiration, to encourage, give inspiration and friendship. We meet in this spirit on our Sangha evenings. We meet to meditate, to study and just be together as friends. Sangha evening is open to all who want to come and engage in a meditation and discussion.
We also meet to celebrate the festivals of Buddhism. Festivals usually begin with a shared meal at the centre. This is then followed by a talk or ritual. There is a strong element of devotion in Buddhism and we express this on these festival days. Each of these celebrates an important event in the Buddha s life.
Buddha Day . The day of Buddhas Enlightenment when Siddharta Gotama attained Enlightenment.
Dharma day .The first time the Buddha began to teach.
Sangha Day. The Sangha in the wider sense rejoicing in the friendship and support which the Sangha gives.
Parinirvana day The celebration or remembrance of the Buddha's death or parinirvana- this means final entry into nirvana. We reflect on impermanence and on our own experience of loss.

Jack Layton And Olivia Chow Do Green
It doesn't matter if you're an NDP, Conservative, Liberal, Green, or belong to any other party that has yet to emerge from the political ooze, living life to reduce rather than increase your environmental footprint is laudable. Take a look at how Jack Layton and Olivia Chow have chosen to live green. Is this a campaign video? Only their organic grocer knows for sure.

Rooting out the problem at the University of Iowa
I greatly appreciated the UI professor's willingness to have his/her comments published anonymously
in the dankprofessor post- Shame and suicide at the University of Iowa.
The professor noted that the Weiger sexual harassment suit may have represented a situation of hostile environment sexual harassment. The Inside Higher Ed article presented this case in the following manner-
A former student and teaching assistant's lawsuit, filed in federal court against Weiger and the university, charged that he had a romantic relationship with another student, engaged in repeated classroom banter and touching of an inappropriate nature, and created a sexually hostile environment
The dankprofessor speculates that the suit against Mark Weiger evolved out of a consensual student professor relationship that ended up being framed as sexual harassment and most likely as hostile environment sexual harassment. Such may have occurred in the context of sexual jealousy and rivalry as experienced by a spurned student. Such escalation and conflation is more likely to occur in a culture where reputation is of paramount importance. And according to the UI professor this represented the dominant culture at the University of Iowa.
Approximately one year ago on November 24, 2007 I published a post entitled "Fear and Loathing at the University of Iowa" which was on the consensual relationships policy at UI. A review of this policy demonstrates that UI did not simply ban these relationships, but viewed them in totally demeaning and dehumanizing terms. A professor who was very sensitive concerning his public status and reputation could very well have been psychologically traumatized by having himself publicly presented as a sexual predator/harasser.
And if one takes the policy statements of UI seriously, ultimately there is little differentiation in terms of the seriousness of the charge of sexual harassment versus the seriousness of being charged with violation of the consensual relationship policy; in both instances the professor so charged de facto becomes a sexual predator.
UI President Sally Mason in a recent communication to students and faculty stated that now is not the time to speculate as to the causes of the recent campus suicides. The dankprofessor holds that this is an example of the UI President engaging in avoidance and denial.
Solving the sexual harassment problem via video
The following comment in the Iowa City Press-Citizen on the University of Iowa recent sexual harassment problems caught the dankprofessor's attention.
guyinic1 wrote:
It's a sad day when faculty need to have any interactions with students videotaped but if that is what it takes, then so be it. And maybe departments should provide a conference room adjacent to the department offices so that everyone can see the interaction of the student and teacher. Again, this is so sad that a student can't just stop by a teacher's room and chat!
I also think that the policy needs to be very explicit not only with faculty but also students, telling them that if any sort of accusation is made, it will be investigated publically and since it is a public investigation, they will be named and will also be subject to laws regarding slander and liable if their allegations are false. College students who make allegations are not children, they are adults and I'm tired of them hiding behind the excuse of being intimidated by a person in authority. Too much is at stake here for both the accusors and the accused!
The dankprofessor admits that he has never given consideration to the possibility of having video cameras in faculty offices and even in classrooms since classrooms are often the scene of hostile environment harassment.
Such may represent an effective way of controlling/preventing sexual harassment events from occurring. Of course, videotaping will not eliminate sexual harassment, but would likely lead to a decrease of these suits.
No matter that there will no longer be privacy regarding student prof interactions. Privacy rights and other rights become irrelevant if institutions are to have effective
control of students and professors. And control becomes key as universities are gradually transformed into quasi police states. If control mechanisms are not implemented we could end up with a complete abolition of university campuses which would be replaced, of course, by online education.
Shame and suicide at the University of Iowa
I have had communications from some UI faculty as to the situation of the recent faculty suicides in the context of sexual harassment charges. I present below one of those communications and I do so without any name attached which is at the request of the writer.
I think that it can't be dumb coincidence that the UI should have an epidemic of suicidal professors within a single semester. It defies plausibility. And on the rule that if one person asks a question, ten people have the same question, then presumably there are a lot more people in the same situation we simply don't know about. So what about the University of Iowa in particular makes it epidemically miserable, when virtually all universities have comparable anti- harassment and anti-fraternization policies?
I have an hypothesis to which I think I can lend a certain amount of evidence and plausibility. It's a perception that the UI (being an Upper Midwestern institution heavily servicing angst-ridden Germanic populations) is more of a shame culture than a guilt culture, although of course we have formal "guilt culture" institutional mechanisms of social control such as policies, procedures, investigations, and sanctions. People here will be influenced much more by self-policing (shame, fear of social stigma, etc.) long before they will be influenced by fear of formal reprisals, and will tend to police their actions to a greater extent than any policy actually stipulates – for instance, if it's wrong to harass, then we will interpret it as wrong to talk about sex at all; or, if it is wrong to go out on a date, we will ban conversations in coffee shops; etc. and so forth. The result will be a culture in which almost any informal interaction (even of the innocent sort) between students and faculty will be so massively stigmatized that it is unlikely that any such interactions can occur without all parties (both concerned and unconcerned) believing they are inappropriate, and pro-actively signaling avoidance and/or disapproval.
I think I can lend plausibility to this. If you look at the first comment on the "Inside Higher Ed" article, you will see that it came from a student of the University of Iowa probably circa the 80s (it references a certain Professor Forell, who was head of the department of religious studies). It shows that a certain complex of attitudes about fraternization – a sense of its obvious impropriety combined with smug self-satisfaction about this prudery – was an element of the culture long predating the institution of formal mechanisms of social control. (And is it a coincidence that the UI has the first formal mechanism of this kind ever imposed in US higher education? No – what you appear to have is a perfect storm of Upper Midwestern shame culture/repression of sexuality combined with the elements you have everywhere else too, like fear of sexual harassment lawsuits and the usual neo-feminist academic Puritanism). The difference is that we have the usual academic Puritanism, but in the context of a shame culture. When do the people involved kill themselves? When they are outed – exposed to massive social shame – before any institutional finding of wrong-doing has actually been made. No one is afraid of what the institution may do to them formally, at least not to the extent of suicide. They are afraid of social stigma.
And the Weiger situation is doubly bad. If you look at the Inside Higher Ed article's summary of the lawsuit, apparently a major part of the aggrieved student's strategy to show hostile environment sexual harassment is that some sexual banter happened and that there was a consensual relationship between Weiger (who was single) and a student. It is not clear that the student is claiming actual, personal harassment, as opposed to having to endure an environment where fraternization could occur. Surely these aren't the same thing.

In my last post, I suggested that, in these economically depressed times, it would serve readers well to learn a bit about homeopathy, in order to be prepared to deal with simple household emergencies, such as colds and flus and mechanical injuries, like scrapes, cuts and bruises. I did not think that anything I wrote was particularly startling or shockingly new–indeed, it is the sort of thing that I have been teaching and writing about for years now. So nothing prepared me (in my new-to-the-internet naive state) for the wrath of Kahn that was about to descend.
In the post (and I hope you will read it and the myriad comments it engendered) I went to town on the troubles millions of Americans are having in getting access to health care and suggested an alternative. I finished my little post with a simple question: Do we really, at this point, have anything left to lose? True enough, in my opinion, as my years of experience in using homeopathic remedies has shown me time and again that, if you choose the right remedy, remarkable improvement will result, and, if you choose the wrong remedy, nothing whatsoever will occur. No risk, no danger–indeed, what have you got to lose?
It started simply enough at first, with a comment from a Rhys Morgan that simply read: "Yes, actually. People have their lives to lose if they choose to rely on homeopathy for things more serious than self limiting illnesses." The opening salvo in Rhys Morgan's assault.
At the time, I had no idea who he was or the reason for his somewhat over-the-top comment. Having posted very little about homeopathy to date here at the blog–most of my comments, sadly, have come under the category of "self-absorption"–and having suggested nothing other than that homeopathy is effective for simple household emergencies (it is), I was somewhat taken aback by the sudden accumulation of corpses of people that I had killed by suggesting homeopathy to them. I wasn't capable of making the logical leap that Rhys, like an Olympic jumper, had made, but I did recognize the technique. Having been part of some homeopathic discussion boards in past years, I remember well when comments like this suddenly appeared just before the internet trolls descended like the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz.
Assuming that I had a troll in my midst, I was unprepared when a friend told me that he was not a troll at all but a Pixie. I did as my friend suggested and researched Rhys Morgan online. What I found was a 15-year-old towhead youth; one who is himself stricken with Crohn's Disease.
This changed everything for me. He was not someone who was merely looking for attention or someone who takes pleasure in upsetting others and robbing them of their hope for healing: he was instead one of the many millions of people in this world what suffer, whose lives are limited, often defined, by their diseases. In his case, whatever past experiences he has had or whatever research he as done has had a great impact upon him–he now is not satisfied with just making decisions–hopefully, with his parents' guidance and help–as to what treatments will be most effective for him, he has somehow come to the conclusion that it is his rightful role to attack anyone who happens to disagree.
I disagreed and I heard about it. Some comments were so inflammatory and so downright rude that I trashed them and would not post them. Rhys' many comments were passionate, sometimes to the point of melodrama, but excusable, under the circumstances. And then there is the strange case of the letter from "Leigh R." This letter first appeared yesterday afternoon. I read it, and although it went off onto several tangents (including one about bleach that I only found out later was a reference to something going on in Great Britain that I not only had not commented on but knew nothing about), I posted it and answered it. All well and good. Except that, a couple hours later, I received the same letter again. And then again and again and again. I have, to date, received it ten times now–almost as if it were being sent out by some technological means and not by an individual at all…
Newly intrigued, I went back to digging about Rhys. I went to his Twitter Account. There I found that he proudly announces that he has set it to register any reference to homeopathy, so that he can summon his followers to descend upon the poor fool who would dare to mention it. Those are the flying monkeys I mentioned before.
I decided finally to include in today's post a letter to Rhys Morgan. I do this not because of his stand on homeopathy–personally and quite honestly, I just don't care whether he wants to use homeopathy or not. He, like every other person, deserves the freedom to determine what sort of medical care is appropriate for him–but because I want him to understand that, while he is remarkably bright and well-researched in terms both of his disease and of various medical studies (read: those that support his beliefs), he is, in my opinion, fighting the wrong fight. And, like millions of poor Americans who somehow get snookered into voting for candidates who want to give tax breaks to the wealthy with the incredible explanation that, in doing so, they are helping the working poor, he is working against his own self interest.
So, here's the letter. If you want to read more of the back-and-forth between Rhys and myself, please look at the comments section of my last post, "Do-It-Yourself-Medicine." But, to the letter:
Dear Rhys,
First, let me tell you how sorry I am that you suffer from a disease like Crohn's. I know from my own experience how painful it can be–both physically and emotionally. I know how limiting it can be, how it makes you structure your whole life around it, define your life by it, as it grows worse and worse. And I know all too well the prognosis that the disease suggests. The picture that gets painted is upsetting at best, and can be deeply frightening.
I quite understand your take on homeopathy. I shared it at one time, just as I shared the disease that troubles you. And I remember very well when my friend Peggy took me to hear a lecture on homeopathy and how I sat in the back row, my arms crosses, my legs thrust out in front of me. I didn't want to hear it. At that point in my life, like you, I was working from a place in which life seemed to be very logical. That it followed a set system of rules and that those rules were largely determined by doctors and by scientists, who gave and took back hope as if it were their job to do so.
It was a gentleman from India who spoke on homeopathy that night. I knew nothing about it–had never heard the word. And as he spoke in his thick accent, I really thought he was a fool. That he was describing a form of voodoo. And I let him know it. I didn't argue with him as you likely would have, Rhys, instead I used my weapon of choice: humor. I made the audience laugh, first with me and then at him. He continued on as best he could, but very little of what he wanted to teach us got said that night, thanks to me. Peggy was red-faced and angry as we drove home. She sat with her face out the side window and we didn't speak. Not for a long time.
I went on from there, to some of the best doctors and one of the best hospitals in the world. I had very good health insurance then, unlike today, and so I could afford the best. All the news was bad, all the prognoses terrifying. I was producing television in those days, Rhys, living in a high-stress environment, which was only making matters worse. I did everything that my doctors told me to do, and nothing was working for me. I was getting sicker and living with more and more pain, more and more restriction.
Finally, I was at the point of giving up. I called Peggy and, swallowing my doctor-loving, left-brained pride, I asked for the number of her homeopath. And, as you know, that very first visit changed my life. I improved immediately with homeopathic treatment and, in time, could honestly say that I had not had a bout of colitis in a week, then a month, then a year–and now twenty-five years or so. I can't even remember the last I suffered from the disease.
I tell you this for one reason, Rhys Morgan: in order to tell you that healing is still possible. It is always possible. You spoke to me in your missives and those of your flying monkeys about giving people false hope. I don't believe that there is such a thing as false hope, Rhys, I believe that there is only hope. Hope is an engine of change in our lives, if we let it. We have an inborn and innate ability to heal. And this ability is ours from birth until death. It grows stronger and weaker by the circumstances of our lives. It is our job, and the job of wise physicians, to do whatever can be done to support this ability to heal, to stoke it and to, in result, allow healing to take place.
The ancient healer Paracelsus, who stood on the gap between chemistry and alchemy, and who died young as the result of a mysterious defenestration, was asked about how he helped his patients to heal. He said that, when it comes to healing, you can't measure the material that causes it, you can only measure the result. He likened healing to lighting a fire. You don't sit and think, you don't try to reason out exactly how much spark you have to bring to the wood to get it to light. You strike a match and touch it to the wood, knowing that combustion is a natural process like healing. The role of the physician (and that is a topic for another day, Rhys) is to strike the match, not to be it.
In my opinion, Rhys, our difference is not about homeopathy versus allopathy, our difference in viewpoint is about healing versus curing. You are still working from a materialistic model, not only of the universe, but also of how healing takes place. I am not. I do not think that, ultimately, there is such a thing as a "cure," as all medicine–ALL medicine–ultimately depends upon the body's ability to heal itself. Some medicine (homeopathy, in my opinion) assists the body and boosts its ability to heal. Other medicine (allopathy, in my opinion–which, by the way, includes some natural medicines, such as herbal treatments–again, a topic for another day) is suppressive in its action, and in being suppressive actually weakens the body's ability to heal itself. This is the gulf that lies between us, Rhys, not homeopathy.
I believe that you can be made totally well. I was.
I believe that that can happen in many ways. I do not say to you that you must do things my way (another difference between us). I say that you should seek healing and not a cure.
I believe that you are a person of unique intelligence and talents, but that you are still young. Like me, you may find in time that you regret some of the things that your precocious intelligence leads you to do. I deeply regret that I convinced all those people in that room that homeopathy was ridiculous and that the man who was speaking about it was a clown. You may, one day, regret that you are issuing fear-speak and robbing people of hope. You may also regret one day that you so defamed homeopathy without having even a vague idea of what you are really talking about, never having really experienced it yourself. But that may be too much to hope for and an irony that would never get this letter adapted for the silver screen.
I wish you well, Rhys Morgan, I really do. I have read on the blog that you are becoming quite the media darling in your country. Don't let that go to your head. And remember, as Spider-man says, with great power comes great responsibility. So be careful where you launch those damned flying monkeys. (I have so mixed my metaphors at this point that I can only hang my head in shame.)
Finally, Rhys, the one place where I hope that we can agree is that people deserve the right to choose the medicine that is right for them. Just as I would not want to force the sugar pills of homeopathy down your throat, I don't want you forcing your bitter allopathic pills down mine. In all the great areas of belief in our lives, we have to have the right to choose: what religion we espouse, what political party we support and what form of medicine we wish to partake of. To eliminate choice in any of these areas is wrong–wrong in every way.
I will never say to you that you do not have the right to freely express your opinions, either. I applaud your intelligent statements of belief. And I do not challenge the things you say. But in the same way, I will not allow you to tell me that I cannot or should not express myself, or to challenge the experiences of my life or my life's work. Especially as you do this from a place of ignorance. I deserve the same respect that I have given you. This is not a place of debate, this blog. This is my little corner of the internet, where I get to say what's on my mind. Like I just did.

Support SUN
Please support Beach SUN enrichment classes
Please consider giving a donation to support and increase the number of the Beach after-school SUN enrichment programs. SEI (who oversees our SUN Community School) is now providing the Beach enrichment programs, but the agency is not allowed to charge a fee for the courses and its budget for classes is limited to serving only 200 students for the year. However, there is a much greater demand for the classes as shown by the 348 Beach students who participated last year. The additional classes and enrollment was made possible because of a one-year grant from the Kaiser Foundation, and parent and PTA contributions. With your help, we can continue to offset the cost of these courses and make sure we continue to offer a wide variety of classes and serve all students who want to take the classes. Please keep in mind that a donation to the Beach SUN program does not guarantee any particular student's enrollment or participation with SUN programs.
The suggested donation amount is $50 a class (which was the cost of our BASE classes prior to the SUN program coming to Beach), but any amount will help. Please write a check to Beach PTA and make sure you write "Beach SUN classes" in the Comment section so that your donation will be used to support our SUN classes. Checks can be dropped off in the Beach School office. Or, just click DONATE to easily support Beach SUN school. You will get bonus points if setup your donation to be recurring from now until the end of the school year!

Very often chiropractors or doctors will recommend 'yoga' or 'exercise' to help with x,y,z. The only problem is that all yoga is not created equal, and it may or may not help improve your core strength and functional fitness.
Likewise, 'exercise' is a very broad term... and walking 30 minutes a day may not help your body improve at all. This conundrum of sending clients to get workouts and yoga, but not knowing what exactly that means is tricky.
A local Chiropractor and former client of mine, Dr. Theresa Murray of Murry Chiropractic and Associates, trusts me to take her clients to the next level in improving their functional fitness with Clubbell Yoga... just as I trust her to help realign my clients with back pain. One such client is Gretchen (pictured left). As a movement specialist, I am very fortunate to have the privilege of working with a client like Gretchen. Not only for her hard work ethic, but for her loving attitude about life. I am honored to share her written testimonial with you. It speaks volumes about the positive effects of combining strength and yoga into personal training sessions, and empowering people to find flow.
Gretchen Writes:
"I have been suffering with back pain and bulging disks for 30 years. I have been on and off seeing physical therapists, and taking anti-inflammatorys and prescription pain meds for this chronic condition. I used to workout a lot, but it always resulted in injuring my back more. So I would take three weeks on the drugs again, and then start back up with the workout. The funny thing is I told my husband, "I love working out as long as I don't sweat!' So thus, the vicious unproductive cycle continued. However, three months ago I found a wonderful Chiropractor, Dr. Teresa Murry who told me to give Summer Huntington a call.
Well this was like striking gold for me!
Summer has changed my life! Her approach was to protect my lower back while teaching me to gain core strength along with gaining back my lost mobility and stability. My goal was also to lose weight, inches and gain strength.
The results are in and its been two months of working with Summer three days a week and I have lost 8 pounds, 6 or so inches and gained muscle, endurance, flexibility and over reduced lower back pain! I am able to do things that my lower back would have never allowed before. Summer has taught me to work out independently and safely at home and I am very confident in the group classes now also.
I am continuing to work out with Summer in private sessions and would recommend anyone who wants to free themselves from chronic crippling pain to dedicate time to "taking care of YOU"..... through the professional, caring and educated approach of Clubbell Yoga! I tell myself "I am worth it!" Summer is my coach!"
Thank you for the awesome testimonial Gretchen! Hopefully your words will help others heal their bodies through finding flow.

The first Conargo Shire Councillors - 1907
Conargo Shire was established in 1907 to cater for those with land holdings in an area bounded by Berrigan, Jerilderie, Hay, Deniliquin, Windouran and Murray Shires.
The first President was Councillor R.O. Blackwood.
On the 1st July 2001 Windouran Shire was absorbed into Conargo Shire resulting in an additional 5090 square kilometres and another 387 residents. The new Shire now covers an area of 8829.36 square kilometres and has a population of 1850.
Quality soils, combined with supplies of water from the Billabong, Colombo, Yanco and Forrest Creeks have enabled Conargo's landholders to diversify their agricltural pursuits and produce high yielding and high priced commodities, making Conargo a wealthy shire in rural terms. It is home to several large holdings renowned for their stud sheep, more particularly the Peppin Merino Bloodline developed by the Peppin Family
in te 1860's and continues to play a major role in sheep breeding activities.
In 1936 the government constructed the Berriquin Irrigation Area which serves 2300 farms through a gravitational channel network. This scheme has been supplemented in recent years by deep bore irrigation, tapping into the underground water of the Murray Darling artesian basin.
The bush tracks of yesteryear have been replaced by a network of all weather roads throughout the shire.
Community spirit is alive and well within the villages and surrounding areas throughout the Shire.
These villages include:-
Pretty Pine
The shire in conjunction with South West Arts have produced a DVD of the Shire History "100 Years of Yarns" which is now available from our office. Cost $15 each.
This production is a wonderfully rich insight into the lives of very special individuals that have helped shape the shire into the resilient and thriving collection of communities that it is today.
Brad Chalmers has also been very busy in compiling a book on the history of Conargo Shire.
"The Sunlit Plains Extended: a Centenary History of the Conargo Shire"
Copies of the book are available from our office. Cost $40 each

The consolidation of Ford's advertising — above and below the line — at Team Detroit appears to be working well. From the Detroit Free Press:
Team Detroit, the Dearborn-based collective of five WPP-owned agencies with Ford as the major client, has recently added more than 300 jobs while other local ad shops have closed or been badly wounded by the loss of automotive accounts including Chrysler, General Motors and Mazda.
In addition, the business model of putting multiple agencies with different specialties under one roof, adopted by Team Detroit in 2006, is being replicated by WPP in London and Shanghai, and at a new dedicated office in Irvine, Calif., for the Mazda account the company landed a month ago.
I think it's worth noting that many of the pieces for Team Detroit were in place for a long time before they were brought together. It'll be interesting to see whether a team like that can ramp up for Mazda, from scratch, in a short period of time.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to get entangled in a feud with the mining industry in Appalachia.
The latest news out of the region is that the EPA is opposing water discharge permits for 11 Kentucky coal mines. The Louisville Courier Journal reports that this is the "first time such an action has been taken in 20 years." The same report says this could lead to the federal government claiming more power over the state's permitting process. This is something Bruce Scott, the Kentucky commissioner for Environmental Protection, described as frustrating.
"The states would like to know, Where is this going? The worst-case scenario is that the EPA objects to every permit and they become the permitting authority for all coal mining," Scott said in the report. He went on, "absent a change of course, that seems to be where this train wreck is going."
Before the Kentucky permit rejections, West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin filed suit against the EPA for its regulation of his state's mining industry. The lawsuit has aligned Manchin with Massey Energy's Don Blankenship. Mother Jones has labeled the race between Manchin and Republican opponent John Raese as a contest for "who can love coal more."
All of this is happening after the New York Times reported about a Republican campaign blitz in the region, where the party is trying to paint the federal government and the EPA in particular as anti-industry and anti-mining. The political fallout from this situation will be interesting to watch as both West Virginia and Kentucky are hosting close U.S. Senate races. As for the regulatory fallout, that may take longer to play out as it will likely be decided in the courtroom.

4 Factors to Consider When Setting up Home Care for Your Loved One
Most people bemoan their own loss of independence as a result of age and/or illness in addition to the discomfort/pain they experience. Where hospital care isn't mandatory, loved ones should consider placing their family member in a familiar environment where they are allowed to have some control over what they do or need. This article discusses three circumstances that make home care more suitable.
1. Person desires more independence
In-home caregivers should integrate medical therapies with task-oriented activities to improve the person's independence. These activities aim at improving the person's well-being:
Physically – Physical exertion, according to the patient's ability and hobbies, can include walking, stretching, gardening, dancing, housekeeping.
Socially – Being around family and friends reduces feelings of isolation, and where possible, patients can attend out-of-home events they love.
Mentally – Playing card games, board games, doing crosswords, reading and making arts and crafts are excellent ways to stimulate the brain.
Emotionally – Ensure they keep up with friends and family, find new hobbies (if they can't do the old ones), and participate in counselling therapy as necessary.
Unlike hospital care, in-home care should allow the person to participate in home activities according to their preferences and/or abilities so that they feel less isolated from the world. This can have a huge positive impact on recovery, prolonged life or reduction of their symptoms.
2. Strong support system
While receiving specialised medical attention, an elderly loved one will benefit greatly from being surrounded by family and friends. Unlike hospitals, which may be far and have strict visiting schedules, being at home means the patient can interact with almost anyone at any time. Home care becomes counter-intuitive if the person is placed in a home far away; they should have a readily available support system close by (even if not under the same roof).
3. Modifiable home
This is important for people that require a modified home environment. It is vital to ensure that the person is placed in a safe place that's easy for them to navigate. Your caregiver can help you to make the necessary modifications to your home. Where specialised conditions for therapy/recovery cannot be recreated in the home, the person should be remain in the hospital to avoid potential deterioration.
4. Caregiver-patient integration
Finally, selecting a caregiver for your loved one is much like selecting a nanny/babysitter for a child: There must be a good relationship between the person and their caregiver for the personal care to be most beneficial. If your loved one isn't comfortable with their caregiver, find out the reasons and try to improve their integration. Or else change the caregiver.
Introduce them to the caregiver slowly, and make any changes slowly. For instance, have a familiar face around until they are comfortable with their new caregiver. In the end, if your loved one is always on edge, they won't gain the benefits you're trying to avail to them.

I spent a wonderful weekend in Indianapolis with my old friend Loren and his awesome mother Chartley.
Saturday morning I trucked down at dawn to the Binford Farmers Market, where I spent the morning chatting with a much older crowd than at Urbana's last weekend, but a welcoming one nonetheless. People were markedly more hesitant, which led me to break out a hastily drawn "Ask me about yogurt!" sign and stick it prominently to the back of my cart. And as I packed up to leave, two new friends took most of my yogurt off of my hands to use as cultures for their own incubation experiments. I hope they go well!
After lunch I eagerly headed to Freewheelin' Bikes, a fantastic Earn-a-Bike program close to downtown Indianapolis. I was lucky enough to meet Nancy, the program's founder, as she rushed off to prepare for a party, and set myself in front of the truing stand to straighten out a few wheels.
One of the kids, Daniel, finished earning his bike on Saturday, and he truly impressed me by his knowledge and comfort overhauling a really sticky headset. Congratulations to Daniel!
Loren and I spent the rest of the afternoon at the library, then searched in vain for a street performance on the fringe of IndyFringe before settling down happily to beers and a game of Carcassonne at Upland Brewing Company.
Sunday I was excited to visit DigIN, a festival that was supposed to promote local food producers and connect local restaurants. Loren and I waited in a couple of sweaty lines for tasty, but meat-filled, food, found no local farmers or producers to meet, and ultimately decided we'd rather eat melon at home than stand in a sunny field with hundreds of other people.
It was another good choice, but first we had to take a quick sweltering traipse through one of Indianapolis' many downtown parking lots.

A recast of a presentation done for the Fairfax Chapter of Association of Energy Engineers in November of 2013. Presentation focuses on the the Advanced Energy Design Guides published by ASHRAE with association of AIA, USGBC, and IES with funding and technical support from DOE, NREL, and PNNL. In addition, the DOE Advanced Retrofit Guides are also discussed. Both sets of guides are available for download from this resource database.

The Advanced Energy Retrofit Guide for Grocery Stores was created to help grocery store decision makers plan, design, and implement energy improvement projects in their facilities. It was designed with energy managers in mind, and presents practical guidance for kick-starting the process and maintaining momentum throughout the project life cycle.
Miscellaneous electrical loads (MELs) are building loads that are not related to general lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling, and water heating, and typically do not provide comfort to the building occupants. MELs in commercial buildings account for almost 5% of U.S. primary energy consumption. On an individual building level, they account for approximately 25% of the total electrical load in a minimally code-compliant commercial building, and can exceed 50% in an ultra-high efficiency building such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Research Support Facility (RSF). Minimizing these loads is a primary challenge in the design and operation of an energy-efficient building. A complex array of technologies that measure and manage MELs has emerged in the marketplace. Some fall short of manufacturer performance claims, however. NREL has been actively engaged in developing an evaluation and selection process for MELs control, and is using this process to evaluate a range of technologies for active MELs management that will cap RSF plug loads. Using a control strategy to match plug load use to users' required job functions is a huge untapped potential for energy savings.

Research @ the City-As-School Library
Welcome! I am available to help you to develop a research question, to find, evaluate, integrate, and cite sources for your PBATs and and LEAPs. Walk in or make an appointment.
We believe in inquiry-based learning and learner-center teaching.
—Sara Lissa Paulson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
the INQUIRY PROCESS
What interests you the most about your class or internship?
Drown yourself in the topic!
Watch videos at Khan Academy and Crash Courses. Search Youtube and Vimeo.
Read the Wikipedia page which gives you an objective overview of any topic.
Take a free course on Open Culture or CosmoLearning. Find a podcast on your topic.
What are the key players or experts saying about your topic? What questions do YOU have? Research is conversation.
Use or adapt this helpful graphic organizer to organize your thinking.
Look for patterns and relationships, cause and effect, changes over time, and how your topic affects different groups of people when you develop your thesis or hypothesis.
You can use the inverted triangle to develop your research question. Then come up with a working answer which will be your hypothesis or thesis. It will change as you learn more.
Use the key words in your question/answer to search for more information.Use keywords like: statistics, case studies, and expert to specific types of information.
INVESTIGATE: FINDING & EVALUATING SOURCES & WAYS TO COLLECT THEM to save time & get somewhere in your thinking
When taking notes, remember to use a double column note-taking format. Always include the source or web address (URL) where you found that idea or quote!
In one column, record important statistics, quotes from experts, examples from case studies, and facts that help build your argument.
In a second column record your own thoughts about those facts and ideas, including how and where they could fit into your essay.
But before using a source, check to make sure it is reliable:
- Primary sources are those made at the time of the event. All the journal entries, interviews, and photographs or video that you take at your internships are primary sources. A science experiment that you conduct is a primary source. Primary sources for Hurricane Sandy include photos, news stories, and personal accounts from that day.
- Secondary sources are what experts in the field think and write about after the fact. Articles, books, and documentaries are secondary sources.
- EVALUATE your sources using this checklist. Here is a tutorial:
CONSTRUCT – How are you going to organize your ideas and your research?
Here is a graphic organizer for creating a ELA literary essay and an SS argumentative essay.
What insights and connections have you had? These can form the structure of your essay.
Are you including multiple perspectives or more than one point of view? What about the voices of Youth? Minorities? Immigrants? Global? Have you viewed Liberal sources? Conservative sources? Alternative Media sources? From there you can develop a counter-argument. What facts or stats could someone use to discredit or counter your argument? See below for good sites to find statistics.
If you are not writing an argumentative essay, how will you share your research? Are you going to tell it as a story or create a narrative essay? Describe a process? Create a documentary? a brochure? a slide show? an info-graphic? Did you storyboard it?
Make sure your paragraphs have your own thinking as well as quoted or paraphrased information.
Make sure your visuals tell the story you want told and add another layer to the words you carefully choose.
DID YOU CITE YOUR SOURCES in MLA8 or APA? Check out these tutorials.
What new questions do you have about your topic?
Did you change your thesis as you learned more? Email me your story at firstname.lastname@example.com if so!
What did you learn using the inquiry process? What will you do differently next time?

Alex boss gives us his post reaction from Glanford Park
He added: "That is football though and you have got to dust yourself off and go again. It is my job to keep their heads up and the players can take a lot from the performance.
"They changed to give themselves an extra man in midfield and that stifled us a bit but we got on top of it again and we went on again. I couldn't see them scoring and we are disappointed with the two goals we have conceded. They were sloppy from our point of view and other than that our defending was fine. That is the frustrating thing from our point of view because I thought we were the better side today.
"We hit the post, could have a penalty and their goalkeeper was busier than ours and the players did everything we asked of them. We continued to push on and worked hard to get ourselves level. It was a terrific goal from us, a really good passing move and Baillie produced a superb pass for Nicky. We were confident at half time and knew what we wanted to do.
Following a harsh 2-1 defeat, the Alex boss told crewealex.net: "The players are very frustrated in the dressing room because we have played really well and got nothing for our efforts. We played some excellent football today and at times we were unplayable. We were a threat throughout the game, had a number of chances and the new forwards give us hope. We can't feel too down after today because we played some good football and it was just one of those days for us when lady luck wasn't with us.
Steve Davis felt his Crewe Alexandra deserved something from Glanford Park after they conjured up a number of decent chances but we were left to rue not taking them as Scunthorpe took two of theirs. Crewe couldn't find a second equaliser after Miguel Llera had tapped in a late winner with 12 minutes remaining.

Tie the parsley sprigs and bay leaves with each other with a piece of kitchen twine. I employed a mixture of low-sodium vegetable broth and reduced-sodium 99% fat-cost-free chicken broth, but you can use all chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, turkey broth, or any mixture you prefer, depending on your taste and dietary restrictions. My recipe for this soup is not genuinely my recipe, it's my family's recipe. it may well even be your family's recipe. Add the ugu leaves and the waterleaf to the pot, stir to mix thoroughly, and let the components to simmer for 15 minutes.
I could use a bowl of hearty vegetable beef soup for dinner tonight and I'm certain your beef stock is loaded with good flavor! I am a bit of a soup fanatic (I consume soup virtually day-to-day and they are all homemade), but this is my first time attempting quinoa in a soup, so perhaps that is the culprit. For this soup I consider a winter squash would perform best… I'd do perhaps 1/2 puree and 1/2 cubed and see how you like the consistency at that point, as well considerably puree will make the soup very thick. Satays (grilled meat and chicken on a stick) with dipping sauces (the coconut milk and peanut are laden with fat and calories. They meant even hate vegetable soup now, which I am attempting to get my crew to consume healthier.I do not have kids, but everyone is a kid at heart, and desires great cuisine.
Investigation has proven that diet program can boost situations of heart illness, slowing or stopping the progress of degenerative situations. I got to function on this homemade vegetable soup when I got property and it warmed me correct up. I'm hoping the leftovers will carry us by way of the remaining rainy days and all the muddy paws that come with them.
If you are creating a carrot and orange soup, you may possibly want to add some pumpkin, yam, or mushrooms to it. You can mix and match ingredients where soups are concerned and you may even discover a new soup recipe, which becomes a loved ones preferred. Make Your Personal Cajun Seasoning: Mix collectively two 1/two TBS of salt, 1 TBS dried oregano leaves (Rub to a powder employing your fingertips), 1 TBS sweet paprika, 1 TBS cayenne pepper, and 1 TBS ground black pepper. Add 1litre/1¾pints of stock or other liquid, saving the rest for thinning down (if required), and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Thank you for sharing this nutritious and scrumptious soup with us. Ideal for these cold winter days.
When chicken feet are tender add pumpkin and cook for 15 minutes or until the soup starts to get the color of the pumpkin. I come about to have all the components I require to make this Tomato Cabbage Soup tonight, even though with one variation. Now that local fresh basil is in the market, I just created my second batch of pistou for lunchtime soup. Check the liquid level sometimes, and top up with hot water or much more stock if the soup appears also thick.

A pilot who turned up so drunk at Heathrow that he didn't know where he was supposed to fly his transatlantic passenger plane has been jailed for six months.
George La Perle was stopped by security officers because he was reeking of alcohol, Isleworth Crown Court was told.
He told them he had just had a few beers the previous evening and that he was scheduled to fly to New York. His destination was in fact Detroit.
The 49-year-old was found to have four and a half times the legal amount of alcohol for pilots in his blood. He also exceeded the less strict limits for driving a car.
First Officer Le Perle, of Delta Airlines, who has 20 years flying experience, was due to be one of three pilots in the cockpit of the Boeing 767, with 240 passengers on board, the court was told.
Full story: Drunk pilot didn't know where he was meant to be flying his plane
