On November 7, FilmRise will release award-winning filmmaker Ramona S. Diaz's documentary Motherland, which takes viewers into the heart of the busiest maternity hospitals in one of the world's poorest and most populous countries: the Philippines. The Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital averages 60 births a day and is the final safety net for very poor pregnant women, most of whom cannot afford either contraception or the costs tied to birthing. The film centers on three women who share their stories with other mothers, their families, doctors, and social workers. While each faces daunting odds, their optimism, honesty, and humor underscore their strength and perseverance.

Featuring a soundtrack of evocative period music (including songs from Pink Floyd), stunning cinematography, vivid CGI animations of Voyager robotic probes traversing the solar system, and original groundbreaking photographs taken by the spacecraft, the documentary will include a "Second Genesis" featurette with Cassini mission scientist Carolyn Porco, who explores the possibility of finding life on Saturn's moon Enceladus.

European rockets
Rockets are used to launch satellites and Space Shuttles into space. Their powerful engines allow spacecraft to be blasted into space at incredible speeds, putting them into the correct orbit. Europe's most important rocket family is the Ariane. Since 1979, five main types of Ariane rocket have flown from Kourou, Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.
The basic version of Ariane-5, called the Ariane-5 Generic, first flew successfully in 1997. It weighed 750 tonnes at launch. It could lift two satellites weighing a total of more than six tonnes into orbit.
To compete with large launchers from other countries, more powerful Ariane 5s have been developed. The Ariane-5 ECA can deliver up to 10 tonnes into orbit, and in the future will deliver even more than this. Another version, called Ariane-5 ES, carries the 19 tonne Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATVs) into low-Earth orbit, at the start of their journey to the International Space Station (ISS).
Although communications satellites are generally becoming bigger, there is still a need for a small launcher to launch other types of satellites. Europe decided to build its own low-cost, solid fuelled rocket called Vega. This rocket can place satellites weighing 300 to 2000 kg into different orbits. Vega's first launch from Kourou took place on 13 February 2012.
Europe also agreed with Russia to launch Soyuz from Kourou. The first Soyuz launch from South America took place on 21 October 2011. Soyuz is a mid-size rocket that has been used successfully by Russia for many years. ESA satellites such as Cluster and Mars Express were previously launched by Soyuz from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It also launches crewed missions to the ISS from Baikonur.

text: I was given the opportunity to interview the founder of bitLanders, Francesco Rulli, today, and I am extremely grateful that he took the time to speak with me. Whether you have heard of bitLanders or not, you should check this out. It is a social network that pays it's users in Bitcoin, at least on the surface, but Mr. Rulli explains how it is being built to be so much more than that. A more detailed analysis will be written in the near future, but he likely explains it better than I can.

In the 60's I was just entering Jr. High School and started to play tennis. Of course, I was terrible, but I loved it. My father passed away when I was in 1st grade, so my mom filled the shoes of both parents. We were on a fixed income so money was scarce, however, I never felt poor.
We went grocery shopping once a week to a small family owned grocery-store called Mac's. They allowed us to charge our food and pay monthly. I only knew the owners as Mr. and Mrs. Mack, plus the butcher's name was Tony. They would always ask me about my tennis and tell me that they could not wait for me to win a trophy because they wanted to display it in their store. I took this to heart and really worked hard towards this goal!
It made my tennis elevate to another level, plus it was fun! Sure enough, when I won my first tournament, they displayed my trophy. It made me very proud. They use to stick candy and even steaks in our grocery bags. I continued to bring my trophies there for many years. They would brag on me to all their customers. I cannot express how those relatively small acts of kindness had such a positive influence on my life. I was blessed with so many supportive people along the way, from friends of the family who offered me their tennis courts to practice on, to great coaches. One tennis instructor drove me to Memorial Park every day in the summer to help him, and he gave me more opportunity to learn. There are so many ways to mentor and support young people and we should take the opportunity to do so when we can.
I am entering my 34th year of teaching tennis and I still love it and feel I have made a positive influence on hundreds of students. I know this because I receive many thank you notes of appreciation. Over the years, as the kids develop in their game, they are also developing life skills and becoming young adults and future leaders in government and business. I feel, as a teacher, that I have a responsibility to help and support them in my own small way. The biggest compliment is teaching the kids of my ex-students. I think about Mac's grocery often and I plan to continue to pass it on!
Good luck on the courts!

Sleeve Cable Kit Pro - Black/BlueSleeved cables are not just for modding experts, at least not any more. The elaborate and rather risky sleeving of cables was an art only the brave and most experienced modders could achieve. Thanks to Super Flower you can now experience a professional look at home without the effort or chance of voiding your warranty.
Each individual cable contained within the wiring harness has been individually braided ensuring a high quality finish and aesthetics that please even the most experienced modder. The fabric used is much softer than the nylon wrap used on standard PSU cables which enables maximum flexibility and cable management.
The Super Flower pro sleeving kit dispenses entirely with heat-shrink at the junctions between the wires and plugs. Instead colored textile wrappers are utilized which go right into connectors. This ensures the sleek design is not spoiled and provides a premium look.
A big advantage over jacketed extension cables is that the Super Flower Cable Kits directly replace the original cables that are supplied with the compatible modular power supplies. This ensure a uniform and very high quality custom look for your system.

In a novel media-civil society alliance, Premium Times and Integrity take on the biggest game in town
PREMIUM TIMES, Tuesday in Abuja, signed a partnership agreement with the leading anti-corruption organisation, Integrity, on how to deepen the campaign against graft in the country.
The partnership will require Integrity, a noted national voice in the anti corruption campaign, to use its capabilities in issue and policy analysis to provide content and advocacy support for PREMIUM TIMES' news operations in the anti-corruption arena.
The paper will also draw attention to the planned 'egunje.info' campaign, through which Integrity plans to mobilize and train 1000 young Nigerians as advocates against corruption. It will be launched on the 22nd of November 2012.
Soji Apampa, Integrity's Executive Director, described the event as a new dawn in the social and ethical reclamation of the rotten end of the nation's life stream, adding that media and civic organisations need to get together in a more strategic sense to help raise awareness and call citizens to action on how to check the menace of corruption, and on how to help stop the country's moral slide.
Dapo Olorunyomi, PREMIUM TIMES editor-in-chief, led the business development team of the paper, which included Willie Obase-Ota and Oti Omatsone, to the MOU signing ceremony.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Worthington Cylinders recently let it be known loud and clear that it plans to be a major player in the home respiratory market.
In 1984, Health Complex was nothing more than a section in a neighborhood pharmacy. More than a quarter century later, it is a $7.5 million healthcare organization with 64 employees, four locations and an HME Excellence Award for second runner-up in the respiratory category.
T.J. Thompson, president of Atlantic Respiratory Services in Charleston, S.C., worries the independents will be weeded out by national competitive bidding.
"The only way to compete is to convince referrals that I'm going to give their patients the best service," she said. "The physicians in our area don't want to send their patients to the nationals. Once competitive bidding goes through, patient care goes out the window. There's no incentive to compete at that level."
Respiratory providers expand beyond their specialties.

Parent Education — Social Cruelty 101: Tools to Help Your Child
Wednesday, January 27 at 7:30 PM; Addison School MP Room
Have you ever considered what the best way to empower your child is when it comes to challenging social interactions? Have you wondered about differences boys and girls may exhibit in the ways they deal with social cruelty? During this seminar, these and many other questions about social cruelty will be answered and solutions provided. You will also learn the importance of friendships and how to encourage their development, what to do if your child is targeted, and what a child can do as a bystander/observer of social cruelty.
A Healthy Balance
Please join us for a conversation with Denise Clark-Pope and help your child be fulfilled without sacrificing achievement. Children today live in a culture that is increasingly characterized by a "more is better" and "earlier is better" mindset, both in and out of school. This fast-paced existence for kids too often places them under undue pressure and stress, which can result in burnout, disengagement, unhealthy life patterns, or debilitating health problems. Over-scheduling further infringes upon the most productive activity for children: unstructured play.
This thought-provoking program is a must for parents seeking a healthy balance between achievement and personal fulfillment for their children. In this presentation, you will explore the unique demands placed on children's time today and examine how today's high-pressure, fast-paced culture can have unintentional but damaging effects on children. Come discover simple ways your family can counter the fast-paced culture without sacrificing achievement and while allowing kids to be kids.
Sponsored by the PTAs of Fairmeadow, El Carmelo, Palo Verde and Walter Hays. Parking is limited; please park in Mitchell Park. For more information, contact Sigrid K Pinsky sigridkp (at) yahoo dot com.

Crystal Surgery Meditation to Boost the Immune System •
Here is a guided meditation to boost the immune system and stimulate cellular metabolism.
Preparing to Connect
Let's begin by preparing to connect. We do need to open ourselves to energetic connection in order to get the optimum effect, yet we do not want to open ourselves to invasive or interfering energies. We shield our process by using Peridot. Peridot makes an excellent energetic wall!
First, we clear and refresh our work area. To align the energies, we literally align the elements we are going to engage:
• Straighten all the crystal tools and the healing board.
• Sweep the board.
• Use a dab of aromatherapy oil, and spray rosewater.
• Bless the board with White Light.
With the appropriate protection in place, we are ready to connect. I begin by de-programming my Diamantina proxy crystal of any previous information. With the intention of clearing, I stroke the crystal 7 times, from feet to head to clear any previous programming, and empty the energetic debris into the cleansing bowl.
Then I ask the crystal to become available to connect with you, by stroking the crystal 7 times from head to foot, visualizing the crystal as an open and receptive channel.
I invite you to imagine an etheric cord from this crystal to you. Visualize a beam of White Light coming from this crystal, through space and time, and connecting with your energy system, via your third eye. This is a cord of pure White Light that has healing and protective energy.
Calming with Basic Prep
We clear the energy field with this feather. As it strokes the energy field, the energy field is gently soothed, and separated from the environment, restoring the boundary between what's inside you and what's outside you.
Next we sweep the energy field to clear it of the outside influences that cling to the energy field. We sweep the entire field, from above the head to below the feet. At least 3 times. We also sweep the soles of the feet.
Now we can open the chakras.Our aim is to harmonize the chakras with each other. We work our way up the chakra system, from root to sacral to solar plexus to heart to throat to third eye to crown. Picture the colors of the rainbow – red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Then let all the colors swirl together, becoming a bright White Light. Your whole being fills with White Light, so that it emanates from you, causing your energy field to glow white. As you breathe, allow the White Light to pulsate with your breathing.
Immune Boost Procedure
Now we can boost our cellular metabolism. Every cell in our bodies has to have the energy to do its daily work. Using Diopside and Thunder Bay Amethyst, we V-Grid the energy field. The minerals in these stones have the capacity to wake up the cells in the physical body and get them working more efficiently. Each in-breath helps your cells get the oxygen they need; each out-breath clears the waste from your cells. Your slow and regular breathing is helping your cells to metabolize efficiently.
Next we use Shungite. Shungite is a special mineral. It is carbon with a unique molecular structure called fullerenes. Fullerenes are used in medicine as an antiviral, to purify water and have antioxidant properties. Fullerenes can be used to stimulate the metabolic action of our cells. As I pulse the Shungite Spheres, I squeeze them a little and this enhances the ion exchange, enhances the chemical action, enhances the effect.
After the Shungite step, we build a circuit to strengthen the immune system. The immune system is also known as the lymphatic system. This a capillary system that networks throughout our bodies, except for the brain and spinal cord, but it doesn't have a pump. Breathing, and the movement of skeletal muscles, are two of the ways that the capillary action is stimulated.
The circuit uses copper and Thunder Bay Amethyst. I grid with the jet on the high heart, area of the thymus gland, and place a piece of Larimar, a piece of copper and a piece of jet. Then I grid the spleen. I place my fingers on the circuit stones, to switch on the circuit and energize the flow. Continue to breathe slowly and evenly and deeply. Continue to relax. Allow a flow of energy through your physical body. Allow your energy to brighten and pulse.
To finish, we can surround ourselves with the spiritual brightness of White Apophyllite, and the soft and loving glow of Rose Quartz. The White Wand, with a Vogel and a Cathedral Quartz, brings a final shower of White Light, to strengthen and bless you.
Feeling love and connection, empowerment and peace, we end this meditation. . Send the cord of White Light back to the crystal. Cover your third eye with your hand, and breathe consciously in and out 3 times.
Thank you!

Dioptase Meaning & Use Aids Compassion, Forgiveness & Release of Karma
Feeling Stuck? Maybe It's A Past Life Karmic Issue
Written By Liz Oakes
Dioptase embodies the green ray, with a strong vibration that encourages compassion and forgiveness. Are you feeling stuck and wonder if its a karmic issue from a past life?
This lovely green stone vibrates within the thymus or higher heart chakra and the heart chakra, and it has an energy that encourages you to be aware of the abundance and richness within your life.
They are highly beneficial healing crystals for you to utilize in your life, as their vibration may help you to live in the moment and at the same time may activate past life memories.
By using this awareness of the past, you can release issues related to karma from past lives that may be holding you back.
Where Is It From? Dioptase Meaning
Deposits of this crystal have been found in Chile, Peru, the Congo and the USA, as well as in Russia, Iran, Zaire, Namibia and North Africa.
The meaning of it's name comes from the Greek words meaning "to see" and "through", and in the past was called Copper Emerald. It occurs as very tiny prismatic hexagonal crystals on a matrix, or as a non-crystalline mass.
It is a copper based stone that is found in the same areas as some other copper based stones, and can occur as an inclusion in calcite. The color of the natural crystals is from the copper within them.
Its colors range from deep turquoise, or blue-green through to an emerald green, and it often grows near Malachite. Quantum Quattro contains this mineral as one of a number of minerals in the stone.
Compassion, Forgiveness & Release of Karma
If you have been feeling 'stuck' and have found it difficult to move forward with your life, this beautiful stone may be what you need.
It helps you to let go of the past, through its strong vibration of compassion and forgiveness resonating within the higher spiritual heart chakra.
Those things that have been preventing you from living a full life, are
released through the energy of the green ray, which is embodied within this green crystal.
Its energy allows you to see the things in your life that do not serve you well. Situations that occurred in your life and some relationships may have
been karmic in nature.
These may have been specifically arranged to give
you the
ability to release the karma these relationships held.
The energy
of this green crystal may let you see the truth in these relationships,
and to change the dynamics of them. Or this may even allow your to release
the other person, so both of you can go forward in your lives.
Who Should Use It?
Many of you have inner child emotions that you have never resolved. This stone is powerful to aid you to heal your inner child.
It will aid you to let go of undesirable emotions such as jealousy, hatred and anger, and is beneficial to aid you to let go and forgive the past, and all past experiences, so you can be free.
Their energy encourages you to see that you can allow yourself to
have a life full of abundance, and that a rich life is available for all
of you to experience.
The vibration of these crystals
can be felt within the heart chakra and you may also feel the higher
frequency vibration when you use it at the thymus or higher heart
This stone's vibration also stimulates the third eye chakra. This allows you to see the source of your problems, via your third
eye, and alleviate the pain they hold.
This may help you to understand
how to solve them. The energy of the green ray within these lovely green crystals will attract abundance and prosperity on all levels of your life.
How To Use It
Meditation with this crystal is the most powerful way to use it. The
energy of forgiveness and compassion for others will resonate within you
as you use this stone.
Using this stone in a meditation with crystals, will clear your aura of any negative emotions that you have been feeling.
As you let these emotions go, you will fill the void left with love and compassion, for those who were the targets of the negativity.
Your own personal healing and the healing within your relationships is a very worthwhile result from using this stone. You will find it on the list of birthstones by star sign, as it is a birthstone for a few star-signs.
Dioptase pendants are lovely, although large crystals of the stone are
not common. Most jewelry is made up of a group of tiny crystals on a
matrix, set into either a gold or silver setting.
They are a birthstone for Scorpios and for Sagittarians, and keeping the stone on you is an excellent idea.
So if you are unable to find jewelry made from it, buy one of these crystals, and keep a small stone of it in your pocket. This is a stone that will aid you to forgive.
Sometimes the person you most need to forgive is yourself. Allow its energy to fill you with compassion for yourself and others, and you may make major changes in your life.
Why Would You Use It? Healing Attributes…
Dioptase natural crystals increase the energy in the body, and dissolve
blockages that may be holding you back, bringing serenity and

headaches and pain. They are powerful stones for aligning your chakras with your etheric body.

They will help you if have unresolved traumas from this time in your life.
Women who are suffering from heart problems, including high blood
pressure may be assisted by their energy.
If you are holding negative energy within your body, linked to past experiences, your health may be aided by the vibration of these green crystals. It is powerful healer of the emotional body.
"Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure." William Saroyan.
Psychic Development Books
Combining It With Other Stones
As Dioptase is a copper based stone, it may sometimes be found growing with other copper based stones.
It combines well with Eilat Stone, Brochantite, Turquoise, Shattuckite, Quantum Quattro, Malachite, Atacamite, Cuprite, Azurite and Chrysocolla, as the energy of all of these stones will complement each other.
Combine it with Clear Quartz to bring new energy directly to cells that need it most, to enhance their function. This crystal also combines well with Golden Rutilated Quartz.
In addition use it with Green Calcite, Stichtite, Witches Finger Quartz, Scapolite, Tigers Eye, Prehnite and Rhodonite, as they are also stones that help to lift fear and depression.
The high crystal energy stones could be used together they aid the role of Dioptase within the higher heart chakra.
The high vibration crystals assist it's work within the third eye chakra, and stones such as Herderite, Scolecite, Natrolite and Phenakite all harmonize well with Dioptase.
If you are working specifically on past life healing, you may wish to combine it with Covellite or Golden Rutilated Quartz, and with Vesuvianite to assist with the release of fear.
It also combines well with Green Selenite, Tugtupite, Variscite and Vivianite, all stones which aid you to feel compassion and forgiveness, as well as with Crocoite, Green Apophyllite, Lepidocrocite, and Emeralds.
More Photos Of Dioptase
When you buy a new stone or crystal, it is advantageous to use it on its
own first. Once you are fully aware of its energy, you may choose to
combine it with other stones. Combine stones for short periods to begin
with, as individuals may react differently.
But knowing how you can combine
various stones may be helpful, as this allows you to get the most from
your crystals, and may help you to solve specific problems in your life.

6 Crystals For Success | Spiral Crystals UK
You will always get a reflection in life of who you are being. Success depends on the little things that you do each day rather than a few big decisions as everything that you do regularly, builds momentum over time and becomes part of who you are.
Its important to take on habits of success as eventually your habits become part of your self image. If you want to have better health or have a successful business, you have to see it as part of your identity as we always stay consistent with who we think we are.
The first step to creating good habits is to be aware of where you want to be and where you are now in relation to that. Maybe there are habits that you have which are keeping you stuck where you are, such as watching too much TV, limiting beliefs about yourself or eating too much junk food. Your environment could also be holding you back, especially if it is cluttered or if you are around people who will reinforce your old behaviours.
Maxwell Maltz writes in his book Psycho-Cybernetics that instead of forcing yourself to change bad habits, its easier to visualise a clear image of the way that you want to be and see yourself as that person eg see yourself as someone that eats healthily and make that part of your self image and you will automatically stop eating junk food.
What are the little things that you could do every day that could get you where you want to be?
You could make a list of habits that you want to take up, they don't have to be big things, you could just start with something small that will generally improve your life, such as listening to music in the morning that will put you in a good mood for the rest of the day, meditating before you go to sleep or taking exercise before work every morning.
Once you have made your list its better to focus on one thing at a time so that you don't get overwhelmed and feel as though you have failed if you can't stick to them all. Once you have managed to stick to 1 habit, you will start to see yourself as someone who has willpower and it will be easier to build on that.
If theres a side job that you want to make your full time job, this should be your priority, even if its just for a short time each day as this will put you in the vibration of it and it will start to become part of who you are. Even if you think you don't have the motivation or inspiration to do anything just try and do something even something small such as writing 1 word and then you might find that the rest starts to flow naturally. Consistency (it takes 21 days to form a new habit) and focusing on the long term is important as if you just stop and start things you wont build up enough momentum. It won't become part of who you are and you won't see much change.
Here are 6 crystals for success, they can be carried in your pocket or made in to a grid to amplify the energies and make your intentions even more powerful.
- Topaz is a stone of abundance and allows you to tap in to hidden abilities to achieve goals. A useful stone for manifesting, topaz can allow you to get clear about your intentions and increase the effect of affirmations and visualisations.
- Green aventurine is a stone of luck and can open you up to new opportunities and possibilities. If you run in to any challenges or difficult situations, green aventurine can help you to turn it around in to something more positive. It can also give you the patience and determination needed to complete your goal.
- Citrine is perfect for manifesting wealth, success and abundance. If you are unsure of which direction to take, citrine can help you to find the right path for yourself. It also has a powerful positive energy and can give you the optimism and self confidence that you need to achieve your goals.
- If you are having problems with concentration or staying focused, tigers eye can clear your mind, allow you to think logically and help you to set a clear intention. Its grounding, energising properties can motivate you to take action towards your goals and allow manifestations to take form.
- Rhodonite can help you to make plans and realise the best way of getting where you want to be. Its nurturing, supportive energy can attract the right people and situations into your life and help you to realise your full potential.
- Vanadinite balances the mind with the 3 lower chakras providing extra energy and motivation to complete tasks and achieve goals. It also helps with organisation, seeing plans clearly and turning dreams in to reality. If you have been overworking or trying to do too much, vanadinite can help you to recover and give you extra endurance.

Crystal Books… Educate Yourself
There are a number of crystal books on the market now, and so it is easy to buy one that will help you to learn more about crystals rocks and stones, and of course the many varieties of quartz crystals.
I have written reviews on some of my favorites, just to give you an idea whether a certain book will suit your way of thinking. Some books are not covered at all, and this also applies to certain authors.
If I don't like how an author covers the subject, I just give the book away. I prefer not to say negative things about anyone.
"Love is In The Earth" is the name of Melody's Encyclopedia, which in my thinking is one of the best books on the market as it covers so many stones.
While it is one of the best books about crystals that is currently available, it is big, in fact very big. It has a lot in it, but its not one to take with you as its very large and quite heavy.
are many others that are a bit smaller, so you may prefer one of a size to go in your bag, so you can take
them with you shopping. If you are unsure, take a read of my reviews
before you go shopping for a crystal book.

"Carol Pankratz' passion lies in seeing personal space transformed through the use of color and pattern whether that is realized in a framable piece of art or an entire transformation of the tangible perimeters of a room itself. With a varied disciplinary background, Pankratz received her Master of Arts in Interior Architecture and Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Kansas State University. Jobs in commercial and retail space planning, and experience with antique furniture restoration evolved into a passion for the decorative arts where her broad knowledge within multiple mediums and her experience perfecting varied techniques has proved invaluable. Her work has been featured in multiple publications including Veranda, Dallas Home Design and British Homes & Gardens. A commission in 2017 gave her the opportunity to complete a large wall covering scene for a client in Texas. This was a collaboration with the designer, architect, and fine art printer. A perfect palette to show her knowledge of color theory and ability to oversee and work with a team.
'Carol's art is unusual in that it has both the commanding presence and size to anchor a wall or the quietude and grace to be grouped with other art forms.'"
