Paroxysmal cramp of a muscle group, can be excruciatingly painful, especially when in the lower back or abdomen.
Generally the cramps can be eased by using Homeopathic Mag phos, or Colocynth, or Cuprum metallicum.
When the patient is red-faced, and unable to even touch the cramped area, use Belladonna.
When rage has caused the cramps, use Colocynth.
When dampness has caused the problem, use Dulcamara.
Renal colic (kidney stones) is relieved by Berberis vulgaris.
Pain like a vice in the abdomen, from left to right, after acidic foods or unripe fruit, can be relieved by Ipecac.
Patients may scream with agony, or even fall down, or pass out. Sometimes they can have extreme diarrhoea and need China Officionalis, and they may vomit violently. In any event, make sure to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Russia Using DPI Technology to Implement New Internet Censorship Law
BY Lisa Goldman | Monday, November 5 2012
Three months after the Russian Duma passed a law that gives the government sweeping powers to censor Internet content, it has gone into effect. The law is supposed to apply to child pornography, drug-related material, extremist material, but the vague wording of the law has led most observers and analysts to conclude that the law is manifestly for the purpose of censoring freedom of speech.
In a well-reported feature article, Wired Magazine explains that the government plans to use DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) technology to implement the censorship law, explaining how it works:
"At the end of August, under the chairmanship of Communications minister Nikolai Nikiforov, a working group was held, drawing representatives of Google, SUP Media (the owner of the Livejournal social network), and of all the other big hitters. They discussed how to ensure that the [filtering] mechanism — they used the concrete example of YouTube — how to block a specific video, without blocking YouTube as a whole. And they reached the conclusion that pleased them all," Ilya Ponomarev, a member of the State Duma and an ardent supporter of the law, told us.
Are we are talking about DPI technology? we asked.
"Yes, precisely."
Most digital inspection tools only look at the "headers" on a packet of data –- where it's going, and where it came from. DPI allows network providers to peer into the digital packets composing a message or transmission over a network. "You open the envelope, not just read the address on a letter," said an engineer dealing with DPI. It allows ISPs not only to monitor the traffic, but to filter it, suppressing particular services or content. DPI has also elicited concern from leading privacy groups over how this highly intrusive technology will be used by governments.
Eric King, head of research at Privacy International, explains that no western democracy would use DPI because it is too extreme a violation of privacy.
"DPI allows the state to peer into everyone's internet traffic and read, copy or even modify e-mails and webpages: We now know that such techniques were deployed in pre-revolutionary Tunisia. It can also compromise critical circumvention tools, tools that help citizens evade authoritarian internet controls in countries like Iran and China."
Under the law, Internet Service Providers will be required to install DPI technology. The article includes some interesting information about the expense involved and the rather nefarious means the ISPs are planning to use in order to comply with the law without laying out the equivalent of $100,000 on high-priced technology.

So if you have not read this post Video games can never be art by Roger Ebert, please start there.
So Mr. Ebert says quite a bit on why he doesn't think video games are not art, and man, I totally disagree. To me, art is what moves you. It invokes emotion. There are many things out there that I feel lack taste, but are still art. For instance, the live performance art of naked people sitting in a chair - I don't get it, I think it's dumb, but I still think it's art. Just not my taste.
But Mr. Ebert specifically calls out video games. I can think of many games that provoked as strong an emotion as any movie, painting, sculpture, statue, or building I have seen on this planet. Seeing much of the stuff in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg caused me to stop and stare. So did the first time I saw the Cyber Demon in Doom ... and then two seconds later got my first rocket in my face and red screen. There are movies out there that make me emotional, such as E.T. or Shawshank Redemption. I've gotten as emotional in games. Moments that make your jaw drop in movies, like the Empire Strikes Back heritage reveal were as much a shock as Arthas' turn in Warcraft 3 when he murders his father the King.
For me, video games are no different than a movie filmed in green screen. Avatar to me is one of the first movies that felt more video game than movie but still had the weight of a movie. Video Games have their popcorn releases just like a Michael Bay release (hello Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2).
Mr. Ebert's comments just scream of someone who has not given video games a fair chance. You have to be open minded when you experience art. You might not like it, but that doesn't mean it is not art.
Using Mr. Ebert's argument, I could argue that movies are not art. That sure takes is amazing career and puts it into perspective, don't you think?
Oh, and you must read Kelle Santiago's response. Brilliant.
Interesting Thought: Art is whatever moves you - and Roger Ebert, video games move meApril 19 2010

From June 1 to 7, 152 Assiniboine Credit Union employees traveled over 15,000 green and active commuting kilometres while participating in the 2014 Commuter Challenge. With 30% of our workforce participating in the Commuter Challenge, Assiniboine can say it is the "Gold standard" in the 500 to 999 workplace population category.
A Tight Race
While we can claim green commuter supremacy in this fun and friendly event, it was a close race again this year. ACU's participation rate was only 2% higher than the Silver winner, Red River College. This was the same margin of victory for us in 2013 too!
Nine companies competed in our workplace population category. The average participation rate was 13%. It's very gratifying to see that ACU's participation rate was almost two and a half times higher than the average.
How We Do It
Many of our employees have embraced green and active commuting and participating in the Commuter Challenge is almost second nature to them. We try to motivate and encourage employees to join the Challenge with prizes and contests. This year we even had a "green commuting photo scavenger hunt". Our employees understand that green and active commuting reduces stress, is great for the environment and pocket book and supports health goals too. It's a win all around.
A Few More Numbers
Beyond travelling over 15,000 kilometres during the Commuter Challenge, here are a few other benefits measured over the week:
- ACU active commuters burned over 110,000 calories — that's the equivalent of the calories required to run 33 marathons.
- By shifting to green and active commuting modes, our team save over 1,000 litres of fuel. That's $1,300 dollars staying in our pockets and our province.
- Over 1.9 tonnes of greenhouse gases were not emitted into the atmosphere. Green commuting doesn't contribute to climate change like drive-alone commuting does.

text: SAVE Being the best you can be is a daily, multi-faceted journey—one that's best enjoyed rather than stressed about. It can be quite challenging to make the most out of the process though, especially for you teenagers—even popular personalities like Claudia Barretto, Alyssa Valdez, Nicole Andersson, and Patricia Prieto didn't have it easy in school growing up, what with peer pressure and all the schoolwork. The good news is, they overcame those obstacles, and they're sharing how they did it so you can gain the confidence to shape your future, too. Now on its third year, #TeenWeekPH brings together Claudia, Alyssa, Nicole, and Patricia, and other top youth influencers and leaders like actress Jasmine Curtis, Kapamilya love team Manolo Pedrosa and Maris Racal, bloggers Vern and Verniece Enciso, Kryz Uy, and Laureen Uy, DLSU volleyball player Mika Reyes, PBA player Chris Tiu, boy band Chicser, and actor and heartthrob Enrique Gil for a series of personal hygiene and personal development workshops aimed to empower teenagers all over the country to be the best they can be. The award-winning program (it has been recognized by the Anvil Awards, Tambuli Awards and the Asian Marketing Effectiveness Awards) is very dedicated to teach teens the importance of proper hygiene and personal development to boost their self-esteem, in turn inspiring them to craft clearer ambitions and to work harder towards their goals. Co-created with personal care brands Pond's, Creamsilk, and Rexona, in partnership with Clear and Master, #TeenWeekPH will hold the workshops in 125 schools all over the Philippines with fun booths that tackle each day of the week: #MoveUpMonday, all about puberty and adolescence; #TransformTuesday, which touches on beauty and self-esteem; #WorkItWednesday, focused on building confidence in relation to being active and living a healthy lifestyle; #ThinkBigThursday, which stresses the importance dreaming big and chasing goals; and #FutureFriday, dedicated to tips on forging lasting friendships and building relationships.

PAUL Robinson is ignoring all talk of an England call-up by focusing his full attention towards ruining Harry Redknapp's Fratton Park home-coming.
The Baggies take on Portsmouth on Saturday hoping to avenge last season's corresponding fixture, when Bryan Robson's men lost 3-2 having been 2-1 up until four minutes from time.
Robinson, who celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday, is enjoying the best form of his career, with Bryan Robson leading the calls for him to be given an England call-up.
But the Albion left-back, who has already been capped three times at under-21 level, has shrugged off the latest plaudits, insisting three points against Pompey were all that mattered.
Even so, Robinson admits he's flattered by the praise.
"I know from my under-21 days that it's a great set-up to be involved with - playing for your country, what more could you ask for?" said Robinson, who played against Sweden, Bulgaria and Poland during the late 1990s.
"You've got the three lions on your chest and it's a great honour to wear that shirt.
"Peter Taylor gave me my chance and there were some fantastic players at that level back then like Frank Lampard, Stevie Gerrard, Paul Robinson and Jamie Carragher.
"I will keep my head down and keep my fingers crossed but my main concern is to keep playing well for West Brom and get us as high as possible.
"I won't get too hyped up about it because I just want to concentrate on playing well for West Brom but if the chance comes then I'll have achieved one my main challenges in life.
"But for now we just need to concentrate on getting something against Portsmouth."
Robinson believes Pompey will be taking on a wiser Albion side than last December.
"We're more streetwise now," said Robinson, who watched last year's game from the stand. We've been fantastic in the last four games and we will give them a tough game.
"They'll have the advantage as they're at home but if we get straight at them and remain confident then maybe their fans will start turning on them.
"Harry has been there before and it'll be a big day for him but our concern is to go down there and get three points."

Customer reviews are playing an increasingly important role on the success of a business. These days everyone has an opinion – whether it's on the plumber that fixed their leaky boiler or the sandwich shop they get their lunch from – and they want to share with people in a similar situation, to help them make a well-informed purchase decision.
It's no surprise then that online reviews are one of the most effective word-of-mouth marketing and reputation-building tools for small businesses. Reviews have the potential to boost sales and also help you identify the areas for improvement. If you're wondering if you're making the most of online reviews, take a look at these top tips.
Claim your page
People are talking about your business online, whether or not you choose to acknowledge it.
The only way to ensure potential customers have the correct information and know all the best things your business offers is to create a profile.
You'd be surprised how many businesses have entries on review websites, but haven't taken the time to do simple things like add their address or put up a picture. At Yelp we did some research and found that people searching on Yelp spent two and a half times longer on a business page that had photos compared to those without.
When you consider that the people searching online for a restaurant are likely to be people looking to book a table or walk through the door, it's important to give them all the information they need to choose you over a competitor. Put your phone number on your profile, add descriptions and tell the story of how the business was set up. Think of it as an extension of your website; it's a great way to shout about what you're good at and encourage people to pay you a visit.
It's not very often that someone will take the time to write about your business. When they do, you need to thank them at the very least. Everyone likes to know that there's a real person behind a business, not some faceless company. Taking the time to show your appreciation is a great way to do this and also helps to build a rapport.
When responding to customers, try to resist the urge to use the opportunity to upsell or plug other products, as it may annoy customers. With some review websites, such as Yelp, you can respond to customers privately – a great tool for answering specific questions or queries.
Take action
Every business owner knows that listening to customers is important, but customers expect you to take action in response to their comments. If they're telling you something is good, do more of it. If something is upsetting customers, address it.
There may be times when you don't agree with a customer's review, but giving the impression that their comments have fallen on deaf ears will only lose you favour.
Take advantage of positive reviews
Positive reviews are marketing gold dust. If someone, without being prompted, has decided to sing the praises of your business, you need to share it. Include links to reviews on your website, add quotes to your sales materials, write it up on boards in your premises. Customers are always looking for proof points to reassure them about a business they've never tried before. Endorsement from like-minded customers will help build trust in your business.

| 10.3°C Belfast
Belfast-born property developer Paddy McKillen has criticised the way two of the UK's best-known businessmen approached a legal battle over control of three top London hotels.
McKillen invited a London High Court judge to draw "adverse inferences" when assessing decisions made by Sir Frederick Barclay and his twin brother Sir David.
A lawyer representing Mr McKillen told Mr Justice David Richards that Sir Frederick "chose not to give evidence because he did not consider that his account would survive cross-examination".
And Philip Marshall QC suggested Sir David "chose not to give evidence" because it would have been "unhelpful" or "exposed as untrue on cross-examination".
All three businessmen were investors in Coroin - the company which owns Claridge's, the Connaught and the Berkeley hotels, the judge has heard at a High Court trial in London which started in March. Dublin-based Mr McKillen says "company affairs" were conducted in a "manner unfairly prejudicial to his interests".
He says the Barclay brothers "engaged in a scheme" to take control and claims to have been a victim of "unlawfulness" and "unfairly prejudicial conduct".
The Barclay brothers deny Mr McKillen's allegations.

Absence due to sickness or hospitalisation can have a greater impact upon small businesses as they tend to have fewer employees to fall back on to provide cover.
In such cases it is essential to have access to rapid screening, tests, private consultation, and diagnosis enabling employees to return to work as soon as possible.
In the case of the self-employed the situation is even worse as lengthy sickness absence can have a major damaging effect.
In these cases the Orchard Employer Healthcare Plans provides financial support for the costs of procedures which will:-
The Orchard employer healthcare plan offers a low cost way of providing more choices for dealing with illness.
With waiting times on the increase, many are being hit with delays in getting scans. Opting to 'self fund' with your cash plan can speed up diagnosis and the subsequent treatment.
As NHS waiting lists for treatment grow Orchard Healthcare
look at how a health cash plan can assist you in 'self funding' healthcare to
take the pressure off a struggling NHS.
We are highlighting the
importance of health screening, offering subsidised Well Man & Well woman
health screening for members of Orchard health care plans.
Today is
described as Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. Beat this grim
day by planning to make the most of your Health Cash Plan.
Many people's new year's resolutions are health related and so they are now are asking themselves;
How can I maintain my health? What's the best way to stay healthy? Can a health care cash plan help keep me healthy?
Orchard Healthcare believe that a Health Cash Plan can assist in maintaining health.
Company health schemes support businesses and employees by maintaining
the health of staff and enabling access to medical treatments which can help to
reduce absenteeism and promote a faster return to work.
The Orchard healthcare plan offers affordable healthcare to help you look after your health.
One of our aims is to ensure that we encourage our members to look after their health. With that in mind we are now offering health screening for our members in order to ensure that they have the opportunity to be tested for early indications of a disease or health problem.
How can employee health cover help my business? As an employer you may be considering providing your staff with employee health cover for a number of reasons.
A Health Cash Plan with Orchard Healthcare gives you the option of private treatment so that you can skip the waiting lists and don't have to wait on the NHS.
Keep up to date with news about your healthcare plan.

Paper Topic :
Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications
Author Name :
Amol B. Rindhe S.R.Wagh
Abstract :
In an automobile industry a drive shaft play a major role in power transmission and it is generally is made of conventional metallic structure is replace by composite structure because they have higher strength and higher specific stiffness ,as we used Kevlar or Carbon epoxy it having some drawback. In this paper work are deals with the replacement of conventional composite material drive shaft with a E-glass carbon /Epoxy, High strength carbon /Epoxy and High module carbon /Epoxy to overcome the drawback of conventional composite material drive shaft.
In this paper we are work for suggesting the best composite material for drive shaft and improve the life of drive shaft and also saving the percentage of material.

Abantu (or 'Bantu' as it was used by colonists) is the Zulu word for people. It is the plural of the word 'umuntu', meaning 'person', and is based on the stem '--ntu' plus the plural prefix 'aba'.
This original meaning changed through the history of South Africa. It is a term used in two ways in archaeology, history and anthropology:
(1) it named a major linguistic group in Africa, and more locally, to identify the sizeable group of Ngu ni languages spoken by many Africans in sub-Saharan Africa, and
(2) it identifies those Bantu-speakers who spoke that group of closely related languages which linguists divide into four categories: Nguni, Sotho-Tswana, Venda and Tsonga-speakers.
It is important to note that the Bantu-speaking peoples are not an homogenous group. They comprise more than a 100 million Negroid people who live in southern and central Africa, ranging from Nigeria and Uganda to South Africa, and who speak about 700 languages, including many dialects.
How these languages spread into southern Africa remains uncertain. Today archaeologists agree that the forbears of such Bantu speakers as the Kalanga, Karanga, and Venda achieved a height of material cultural development in the tenth and fifteenth centuries. They built beautiful structures, pits and fortresses, including the Zimbabwe Ruins, which spread across Zimbabwe into Botswana. These fortresses are also found at Mapungubwe and other places in the northern regions of South Africa.
Whites first encountered Bantu-speakers in the eastern Cape in the 16th century,and in the central interior at the beginning of the 19th century. W H I Bleek first used the word 'Bantu' in about 1856 as a classificatory name. In the earlier apartheid period (1960s), it replaced the word 'Native' in official government usage in South Africa. The Department of Native Affairs changed its name to the Department of Bantu Administration and Development, and the word became despised by Africans as it was associated with apartheid and inferior treatment. From 1977, the term 'Bantu' was slowly replaced by 'black'.
While black South Africans appreciate their own language and culture, they regarded with suspicion the Nationalist Government's approach to their ethnicity, believing it was used in the apartheid plan to isolate them. Therefore, this language term took on a skin of emotive meaning and became a symbol of the oppressors. At about the same time the Black Consciousness movement was spreading from the United States and influencing Africans, who stated they would also rather be called blacks in association with whites and coloureds in informal usage.
The term Bantu is no longer used except in its original context in reference to Bantu languages. The term African is correct and courteous. It is one of the few terms that black South Africans have chosen, that has wide acceptance and that has not been mediated or appropriated through colonization. The widespread and official use of the terms African and black raise new questions. There was a stage when 'black' meant anyone not white, i.e. South African black Africans, Indians and Coloureds. Used interchangeably to mean the same thing, 'black' and 'African' (a native of Africa) could be more openly debated around the issue of exclusivity.

New law to take effect on August 28, 2012 that allows more criminal records to be expunged.
Recently, Governor Jay Nixon signed into law HB1647. This law includes a new section called 610.140 which specifies that the offenses listed below can be expunged. Specifically, the felonies can be expunged after 20 years of no other crimes (save for a few driving exceptions) and misdemeanors after 10 years of no other crimes (again, save for a few driving exceptions).
Passing bad checks (misdemeanor and felony)
Fraudulently stopping payment of an instrument (misdemeanor and felony)
Fraudulent use of a credit or debit device (misdemeanor and felony)
Negligent burning/exploding (misdemeanor)
Negligence in setting fire (misdemeanor)
Tampering in the second degree (misdemeanor)
Property damage for knowingly damaging property of another (misdemeanor)
Trespass in the first degree (misdemeanor)
Entry on posted property (misdemeanor)
Gambling (misdemeanor)
Private peace disturbance (misdemeanor)
Drunkenness or drinking in certain places (misdemeanor)
Peace disturbance (misdemeanor)
Further, the bill adds some new language to existing laws:
Switch blades are not legal for possessing, manufacturing, transporting, repairing or selling.
A utility worker or cable worker are now a special class of person that cannot be assaulted.
If you want to pursue having your record expunged and you meet one of the above offenses criteria, give Robert E. Caldwell, Jr. a call at McMichael & Logan at 636-532-1400, and let us work on cleaning up your record when the law takes effect on August 28, 2012.

Most wargamers probably fall somewhere between these two extremes.
For myself, I enjoy the game play greatly, but want to do it with well painted figures, and preferably on a games table covered in well made terrain scenic items, so the whole display is visually appealing. In other words, I want my cake and eat it too!
I started painting many years ago as a young teen-ager, and at that time, I was very happy to turn out, what I would now call basic paint jobs.
Having come from collecting and making Airfix model planes and tanks and painting them up with Humbrols enamel range of paints, I started using this approach for my figure painting. Initial attempts were poor and the smelly paints and thinners were unpleasant to work with.
After starting buying and reading White Dwarf magazine and the Citadel Journal of the time (late 80's), I gradually learned the GW way of painting. This involved a switch to using GW's citadel range of water based acrylic paints. This brought instantly better results, but I still had a long way to go. I currently use a range of paints from GW's citadel range, and also Foundry's own paint range, and Vallejo.
Learning about the need for a suitable undercoat, and then varnishing and making decorative bases, all were gradually incorporated into the final figure.
But still these early figures were mostly flat tones, with little or no shading or highlight, and basic detailing at best. But it was a worth while exercise as it taught a sense of discipline to make a tidy and complete paint job.
Having mastered this basic technique, I gradually advanced and learned about dry-brushing, and using shading ink washes, and how to add detail effects to eyes, and belt buckles and such like.
I still had a long ways to go, as I still found it a little difficult to get a small enough detail to the eyes, they often looked somewhat cartoon like if the eye went too large.
Also, the ink process was quite lengthy and messy, the ink often running onto adjacent areas, and required tidying up once dry. Also dry-brushing as well could be a messy technique as again the paint would often hit other areas of the model you didn't want it to, again requiring more time spent tidying up the model, once dry.
After this time I switched to the so-called "Dallimore" method, as used by Kevin Dallimore of Foundry.
The idea here is to start the model painting from the shade colour, and work up. After undercoating (black) then paint on the darkest shade of paint first, and once this has dried, add the next lighter shade and so on. Several layers of paint can be done in this way depending on level of detail required of the model figure, and the patience of the painter. Ideally you would use three layers; shade, mid tone and highlight. However for speed and quickness, and for the majority of "rank and file figures" two layers seem sufficient - the shade and mid tone. I sometimes bother with the final highlight layer on character models or individual figures I am just painting for fun.
Oh, before I forget, painting the eyes, I used to find it easier to do after the black undercoat, but now I do after the shading wash.
Here's a pic of what I do, it's a bit crude but you get the idea:
1 2 3
4 5 6
1. block paint base flesh colour
2. give a wash of brown colour, this will define nose and eyes
3. paint a white line across eye, this is usually the easy bit. If you make it too wide, let if dry and brush over with a slightly darker tone to base flesh tone you used (to match the base flesh tone plus wash), to reduce the white area to fine horizontal line.
4. Now do a vertical black line through the middle of the eye, starting by resting brush tip on middle of eye brow, and drag downwards. I find this far easier than trying to stab a black dot in the centre of the white line with a brush tip that will deform as you do so. It also helps your aim and focus and fines out the brush tip as you drag downwards.
5. Now reduce the excess black line carefully brushing over with a slightly darker tone to base flesh tone you used.
6. Add highlights to face to finish.
I will agree, this can be hard depending on posture of figure, and other things getting in the way; bushy beards and eyebrows, hats and helmets, especially helmets with face guards... but its still possible...
Another trick I have tried once on, my 'goblins of goblintown', is dotting in the pupil using a cocktail stick.
On the subject of eyes, there are also animal eyes to consider, notably horses, as many differing forces feature cavalry of one form or another. I have seen a lot of painted examples where, to my mind, folks have painted a far too 'human' eye, for the horse... if you have a look at a horses eye, even up close, it is very dark , even black, and there is only flash of sclera (the white bit) as the horse looks to a side, usual at the back top area of the eye... so I tend to paint horse and animal eyes that have a similar shaped head, as below...
|horse eyes
My painting style continues to evolve over time, as I try different things. One of the things with painting figures well, is it takes time, and when you have large armies to assemble, it can be quite daunting, so finding short cuts are appealing. Recently a product has become available called 'Army Painter' from Warlord Games. I have been intrigued to try this product, but also put off by several negative comments on the web.
Consequently I have stuck with a technique that I know works, and switched to a new product. When GW relaunched their 'washes', I found these excellent products, which give a shade wash without a gloss sheen as their old inks used to. But these little pots are expensive. However I found Vallejo do these, at least brown and black in large economical pots, and the product is just as good as the GW one.
So now my painting technique has evolved to use this product and can be summarized thus:
Prep model; File and trim
Black Undercoat spray and paint touch up
Block paint in base colours
Wash whole model with a 50/50 mix of Vallejo dark brown and black wash.
Do eyes
Build up tones again by repainting original base colour as a first highlight.
Then add final highlight
Add any detailing effects as required.
Do base; PVA glue (thinned) and add sand, and paint and highlight as required, and finish with static grass and other decorative foliage materials as required.
I find using this brown shade wash over whole model, seems to blend whole model together, in a satisfactory manner.
I am not going to win any 'Golden Demon' awards, but I am not concerned about that. I just want good tabletop standard figures to build armies as quickly as practicable.
A couple of important points for novices - posture and lighting. The best posture I have found is elbows on the table and wrists locked together with model held at eye level.
Also, handling the figures can be made easier if you make some kind of prop to stick them to whilst painting. I have seen some folks use old empty paint pots. I made a bunch of 4" dowel rods with a 1" diameter circle of 5mm MDF wood on top (you can just see one in my hand as I paint the figure in picture below). I made an MDF wood base with holes drilled in to stand all these rods in.
And get a good angle-poise light and direct it down in front of you onto the model. In picture below, my forehead is pretty much resting on the lamp!
Musical accompaniment and a glass of your favourite tipple will not go a-miss. Earphones are optional!
Good luck!

TRUTH just is and does not need to be defended cause when defending TRUTH conflict is created.
There is also this teaching of oneness which might be correct since we all come from source but how important is it to pursue TRUTH and ONENESS?
Ever heard about to good to be true? So being good is not enough? Being good is experiencing love how bad could that be?
There are tons of "lightworkers" talking about truth and oneness which is perfectly fine but to say that I know the truth is actually to deny somebody their experience of their own truth.
The recent release of the CIA torture report is very telling, Bush Jr and Dick Cheney are defending it tooth and nail. But why? If the reason behind the tortures where pure and good they would not need to defend the report right? They are also defending the Iraqi wars cause it's their truth that they did a good thing by the war efforts? But when is war a good solution? Never!
When we live in kindness we are relaxed, calm and joyful which I think is "TRUTH". I'm getting that both truth and oneness are merely different place holders in form of reference points making us stop and not look beyond them.
Our whole experience here is made up of different reference points which makes us function in this world. We've been taught that there is value in money and different goods such fashion, electronic devices and cheep products we don't need from China together with nutrition's and food we buy that does not benefit our health in the long run.
We actually just need some basic shelter and something to sustain our bodies. (No I'm not saying we should live in caves but you'll get what I mean). We have major entertainment industry keeping us occupied when we are not working (Hollywood, amusement parks, video games and what not)!!
Years back we did handle coins of "value" to purchase food stuff etc but today this is all happening electronically. So what happens if the switch is flicked off at the banks? Talk about running around like headless chickens if this scenario plays out!
We would be much better off buying stuff from China that actually enhances our living like Quantum Energy Devices. This is coming big time.
The gist of this post is that I'm getting that it's about time we move beyond pursuing TRUTH and ONENESS and start to leave our REFERENCE-points and actually use or RESONANCE-points from within.
When you where a kid you thought there was something underneath your bed which was truth this however dissolves when you get older and truth changes.
"This entire world is not going to be transformed by a spiritual truth its going to be healed and reborn by the vibration of goodness."
Matt Kahn
Happy New Year Everyone
We are the ones we've been waiting for!

Do you know why Richard Branson was in such a hurry to unveil SpaceShipTwo last week? It's not because he loves cool toys — it's because he was worried an inventor who's created a personal UFO would steal his thunder.
Or at least, that's what a new press release from UFO guru Luke Fortune claims. Fortune, an inventor, has put the plans and patents to allow you to build your own laser-fusion-powered UFO online for free. The prototype will cost $60,000 for you to build, but don't worry — soon, building your own UFO will be dirt cheap, and everybody on the planet will be flying them, according to Fortune's press release. And this will transform the world's economy:
The government approved public charity to develop UFO technology is underway.
Imagine a tomorrow where instead of your usual humdrum job, you, and the Average Joe, were flying about the planet at thousands of miles per hour without danger, hauling cargo or people. The Average Joe can build a flying craft for about the cost of a car. Instead of driving a taxi, Average Joe flies people all over the planet, all over the solar system. The cruise industries find great profits in tours around the moon and the outer giants. Resources need no longer be in short supply as mining the asteroid belt becomes a commonplace event. Shooting galleries can be opened in the Kuiper Belt. Oil prospecting on Jupiter's moons could likewise easily be achieved. The open use of these technologies will repair the global economy by opening the next great economic growth. Space tourism can become a reality in a much shorter time, as people who aren't millionaires realize they can build these devices and cash in on the space tourism trade. You can become wealthy by taking part in the next great economic expansion.
For you, for all of us, science fiction will become science fact.
Current, and retired, aerospace engineers, some involved with "black operations" have been consulted for this project. It is acknowledged by these engineers that a repository of over 50 years of research data was their source material database of knowledge in UFO research and development in their employ with their respective aerospace companies.
Technology exists that can repair and rebuild the economy on both the national (United States) and global scales. Exotic Propulsion Systems are methods of transport that far exceed the abilities of the currently used methods of travel and transport. For the last century, these methods have been available, but have been hidden beneath a mountain of paperwork and filing numbers.
George Noory called them "very interesting stuff. There is a ton of material."
Michael Knight of Earth Change Report said "They are fascinating... You might be surprised to learn that many of the drawings ... depict craft that you would think come straight out of movies like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind. However, unlike Hollywood, we are not mixing fact and fiction here."
6,500 pages of complete patents of these craft have been compiled by Luke Fortune and made available in book format at www.ufohowto.com. Come to the website and see the free E-book. Come to www.ufohowto.com and see explanatory videos. Come to the website and see the other free downloads available at the site, including interviews, patents and more.
Exotic Propulsion craft (formerly called "UFO's") are capable of speeds of thousands of miles per hour. Pilots and cargo are shielded from gravity and inertia. Right angle or sharper maneuvers are can be made without danger of damage to cargo or pilot by the exposure to G-forces. This is a patented fact that has been scientifically proven since the early 1970s. G-forces are simply not a factor with this shielding.
Since these craft are capable of circling the globe in under an hour, of hovering, and landing anywhere [whether air strips are present or not], the ability to transport needed supplies, people, and/or cargo instantly to anywhere upon the globe becomes a reality.
Fresh foods can be brought anywhere on the globe in mere minutes. Imagine eating a meal with lobster from Maine, caught fresh that morning, with Irish potatoes, not 120 minutes out of the earth from Ireland, with pineapple from Hawaii, picked not an hour before, and drinking coffee from Ethiopia, picked, roasted and delivered within two hours. This could be the reality of today, with technology that we've had for many yesterdays.
Starvation can be eliminated, as food and clean water can be transported anywhere.
The threat of overpopulation can be stopped, as the technology to create lunar bases and settlements in other locations of the solar system, technology already in our possession, can be manufactured. Transport and shipment of supplies between these settlements and the Earth will be possible because the speeds achieved are far in excess of rocket technologies.
So what are you waiting for? Why haven't you built your UFO yet? The world is waiting! [UFOHowTo via Australia.To World News]

John Skelton's First NFL Start
Skelton talks about his first pro start
Fordham didn't just make waves in college basketball last weekend; Fordham alum John Skelton took the field for the Arizona Cardinals, netting a win in his first career start. Skelton avoided many of the problems that often force rookie quarterbacks back to the bench after their first start. He didn't turn the ball over, didn't get sacked, and even completed 40% of his passes.
Skelton will start this Sunday for the Cardinals versus the Carolina Panthers, after Arizona Coach Ken Wisenhunt said he gives the team the best chance to win. John talked with Joe Tordy and I about his first start, how Fordham prepared him for the NFL game, and what it's like to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Some of the highlights:
"It was fun…a lot better than sitting on the bench like I had the first 13 weeks of the season. It's nice to get out there and we ended up getting a W, which always feels good."
"I thought I'd be a little more nervous but for whatever reason I was pretty calm in there once we got the first series out of the way."
"At Fordham we had a lot of success but at the same time we had a lot of struggles, going through those times when we were 5-6, and no one was in the crowd, that's the time when you stick together as a team….We've had our fair share of struggles in Arizona, and the guys still root for each other and we're still trying to get wins every week."
"I have all the respect for [Fordham wide receiver] Jason Caldwell, but he's no Larry Fitzgerald, that's for sure."
"I don't think I'm used to [getting called a starter] yet. People say quarterback with the Arizona Cardinals, or quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, which they've been saying for a while, but only recently have they been saying starting quarterback, which sounds pretty good."
To hear more, including type of preparation Skelton does as a starting quarterback, and what it felt like for him to be a part of Fordham's big sports weekend, listen to One on One this Saturday at 1 PM on 90.7 WFUV and wfuv.org.

Top marks for school in latest inspection
PUBLISHED: 13:36 20 May 2019
SaffronPhoto 2016
Felsted School achieved the "best possible outcome" in an inspection carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
Inspectors visited the school in March and, in a report published earlier this month, rated the facility as 'excellent' in its assessment of educational quality and pupil development.
Chris Townsend, Felsted head teacher, said: "I am delighted to be able to report that.
"We were found to be compliant in all areas and 'excellent' in both judgements of educational quality. This is a tribute to the hard work of all the staff, pupils, governors, and of course parents, in supporting the school's vision to provide the very best all round education, and develop young people of character, who will make a difference in the world around them."
In order to maintain its status, the ISI recommended the school strengthening pupils' reflection on their own academic targets and progress towards these, as well as enabling prep school pupils to become more independent learners by developing their use of IT.
Felsted was inspected over three days in March. It comprised both a regulatory compliance inspection and an inspection of educational quality across ages 4 to 18. Both academic achievement and personal development were deemed excellent by inspectors.
"I am thrilled that the inspectors found our pupils to be highly successful, with notably positive attitudes to learning and a belief that they will succeed," saud Simon James, head master of Felsted Prep School.
Felsted School educates 1,056 boys and girls, aged 4 to 18. Approximately two thirds of pupils board from the age of 11 with 20 per cent of the senior pupil body from overseas.
In its report, the ISI noted: "Pupils develop high levels of knowledge, understanding and skills through an imaginative curriculum, meticulous planning and excellent relationships between staff and pupils."
This is supported by the recent Government statistics which show pupil's academic progress at Felsted between GCSE and A Level as being in the top five per cent of all schools in the UK.

Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE: IMG), the leading provider of human computer interface intellectual property (IP), today announced that it has significantly extended its IP offerings to cover Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies with the launch of its new Metagence Technologies division.
Metagence Technologies designs, licences and promotes patented multi-threaded DSP cores that will enable low cost multi-purpose communications and entertainment appliances. The first Metagence DSP processor architecture – the META-1 core – is available for licensing now.
The next generation of digital applications will be focused on converged, multi-function devices that will demand real-time capabilities for complex DSP and mathematical calculations, whilst also needing to be low-power and low-cost for integration into consumer electronics devices like Mobile Digital Music Players (MP3, DAB, AAC), Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Digital Radios and Digital Music Servers, Wireless Appliances, In-car Entertainment and Information Systems, Set-Top-Boxes and Mobile Phones.
The critical advantage of the Metagence architecture is that it makes it possible to run several real-time tasks on a single processor, rather than resorting to inefficient multi-DSP solutions. This enables devices that can integrate DAB, Consumer Audio, Digital Hi-Fi, Speech, Advanced User Interfaces, Mobile Communication and Networking on a single chip. Metagence technology is already being used by the partnership between Digital One and Imagination Technologies in the development of a low power, low cost, Digital Base-band (DBB) chip and digital receiver module, which will constitute the heart of inexpensive portable digital radio receivers that will be available within the year.
Hossein Yassaie, President and CEO, Imagination Technologies, says: "";The trend for future consumer appliances is clearly towards real-time multi-functionality. Traditionally DSP-based systems can perform only one time-critical function without resorting to inefficient multi-DSP solutions. Using true hardware multi-threading and an efficient DSP architecture we can deliver the complex DSP and mathematical capabilities and real-time response that will revolutionise the possibilities for the next-generation of electronic appliances."";
Andy Trott, CEO Networks & Connected Devices division at Pace says: "";Convergence is an inevitability for the consumer electronics industry and often it is exciting, multifunctional devices that win the hearts of consumers looking for convenience, entertainment and value from electronic appliances. I am pleased to see that Metagence shares this thinking and will make innovative technology available to manufacturers wishing to develop real-time, multifunction consumer devices."";
Dave Hawkins, Product Manager, Roke Manor, says: "";Multi-threading is the strongest contender in the race to enable next generation DSP devices and Metagence Technologies is a pioneer in this technology. We look forward to continuing to work with both Metagence and Ensigma Technologies to develop strong consumer applications for these impressive DSP technologies."";
Quentin Howard, Chief Executive of Digital One, the national digital radio network operator, says: "";The baseband processor to drive DAB digital radio with the functions and power needed for portable products points to one device – the META core from Metagence Technologies. This is the device at the heart of our recently announced DAB chip and it allows cost effective and flexible consumer digital radio products to be made. With the current analogue radio market at 12 million units per year in the UK, the digital radio replacement potential is massive and that's good news for OEM's, good news for the broadcasters and good news for consumers."";
According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) during the year 2000 over $6 billion worth of DSP based devices shipped and this annual figure will exceed $25 billion by year 2005.
Metagence Technologies joins Imagination Technologies' existing divisions PowerVR Technologies, Ensigma Technologies and VideoLogic Systems. The newly established Metagence Technologies division will operate from Imagination Technologies HQ in Hertfordshire, England.
The META DSP Technology
The META DSP processor architecture provides multiple real-time programming contexts (threads) that can operate independently and concurrently. This allows systems that are conventionally partitioned into multiple real-time DSP and general purpose functions to be implemented on one device. The memory system and caches of the DSP core are fully multi-threaded to allow operation at maximum efficiency. The execution of instructions from threads is scheduled on a clock-by-clock basis, resulting in zero overhead for the switch from one thread to another and instant response to external stimuli.
A control system is provided to monitor and adjust the instruction issue rate of each thread to allow overall system real-time constraints to be met.
The multi-threading scheme used in the META processor family enables the best possible utilisation of the resources of the processor to be achieved. Different threads can use different resources at the same time or one thread can command all the resources of the processor at the same time. This enables key algorithms to be performed extremely quickly and mundane actions such as data movement to be performed with maximum efficiency.
Multi-threading optimises processor utilization, preventing long delays to access memory or devices by enabling other threads to be run while results are being processed. This is especially important in highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) devices where it is common to share a single memory between many on-chip functions.
Different programmers can develop programs for different threads in isolation and still achieve real-time performance when the components are combined. This is possible due to the META Automatic MIPS Allocation (AMA™) technology that controls thread execution rates to ensure that real-time goals are achieved. This is particularly useful when legacy software components must be integrated with new functions.
Comprehensive library and tool support enables embedded system designers to produce highly-integrated Metagence-based products quickly and easily, helping to streamline time-to-market for new products.

We finally got around to replacing a 12 year old TV with a flat screen and, decided the old bookcase that was holding it needed to go. It was here when we moved in and it's the length of a Buick. We gave them both to a charity auction.
I really like red oak and have done a lot of projects with it over the years. It's nice to work and has just enough bend to overcome slight flaws. It's also readily available in various widths at the local Home Depots.
I use Min-Wax's natural stain and their paste wax for final finishing done by hand. That's where the color really comes out. It's not only an easy finish to apply, but it has a fairly low odor and is easy to repair in the future.
The construction pieces were edge glued 1×12's, 1×10's or 1×8's for top, bottom, back vertical dividers and shelves. I assembled the case with the Kreg Pocket Screw system which is hard to beat for a strong assembly. I used no glue in the joints held by the pocket screws as they are sturdy enough to hold everything together.
It's a design my wife Betty and I came up with. I did the original drawings which had sides, and when she looked at it she said I should leave off the sides to open it up to the room. Seems to do the trick.
The unit is just 47" long by 31" tall and 15 1/2" wide. The center shelves are just under 22"wide and the side shelves are 10 1/2" wide.
Betty insisted on the pedestal which is 2" high. This was a great idea because it keeps the bottom off the carpet for vacuuming and keeps the unit firmly in place.

Do you want a blog, but your parents won't let you get one? Don't give up, and don't start sneaking around behind their backs! Maybe you can convince your parents it's not only a great idea, but it'll be good for everyone!
1Tell your parents everything about your proposed blog. Explain what you will write about, how you will write about it, and why you want to do it. The clearer you are to your parents, the more reassuring you will be.
2Understand what your parents are concerned about. Parents tend to worry about young people sharing compromising information, cyber-bullying, and posting information that can come back to haunt them. Learn what to avoid, and explain this to your parents. This will reassure them that you are aware that blogs can be used in bad ways, and you will not do that.
3Explain the benefits. Blogs can be excellent communication tools. You will use your writing skills. You will network with people throughout the world. Maybe you'll discuss ideas, problem-solve, and share with others. If you're shy, it can help you open up to others. These "educational" angles can help persuade a parent.
4Ask your parents after you've explained everything. Yes, you could possibly go behind their backs, but to convince your parents you are trustworthy, ask them if having a blog is okay. You will, of course, give them full access.
5Share it with your parents and relatives. Encourage your parents to read your blog. Seriously. If you are open and honest, they are very likely to encourage your blog. In fact, why not invite your Grandma, your cousins, your uncle, and so on to your blog? You might find out that your family likes to hear about you! Create the content for the first few posts and show them. Ask them about their responses and what do they think about it. Ask them about possible inputs and what they think that should be there in the blog.
- Do not be secretive about your blog. If you are defensive or hermit inside your room to write and read your blog, your parents will not trust you.
6Get the family involved with blogging. Ask your parents if they might want to blog. Maybe it'll turn out that they enjoy writing about their lives and see how fun, useful, and educational a blog can be. And who knows--maybe you'll discover some neat things about your parents?
7Decide what to do if they still say no.Advertisement
Community Q&A
- If you are initially told 'no', that doesn't always mean 'no' forever. Be persistent but not pushy.
- To avoid writing compromising blog entries, don't ever blog something you wouldn't want to see on the front page of your local newspaper.
- Never blog when you are extremely upset, angry, or otherwise likely to say something you will regret later. Write it, but don't publish until you read it later in a calmer frame of mind.
- To make a blog, edit, revise, and check over with your parents any corrections.
- If your friend wants a blog and have the same idea for a blog, create one together! If you don't feel like blogging, your friend can. It's a much safer way to blog.
- Remind your parents that they will be able to keep track of what you are posting on your blog.
- Be nice, if not it can lead to a stubborn no from parents! It's usually about attitude!
- Some people post bad things on blogs. If your parents let you get a blog that anyone can visit, be on the lookout for bad comments. *Moderate your comments so that you have to approve them before they are posted.Thanks!
Things You'll Need
- A computer connected to the internet
- Parents (or similar guardians)
- A quiet place to work
- Ideas & designs
