Welcome to the Institute for Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT)
The Institute for Emotive-Cognitive Embodied-Narrative Therapy (E-CENT) was established in March 2007, by Jim Byrne and Renata Taylor-Byrne. (Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com).
This Institute was established after the death of Albert Ellis, the creator of Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). Jim and Renata had been keen supporters of Albert Ellis from around 1992. However, they had always combined REBT with Transactional Analysis – (because REBT did not have a convincing or helpful theory of personality) – and also with Gestalt therapy and other systems.
However, when Albert Ellis died, in 2007, after three years of internecine conflict – within the Albert Ellis Institute – Jim and Renata naively thought they could take forward "the best of Albert Ellis's ideas". But the more they worked at trying to validate the core of REBT, the more it fell apart in their hands.
Eventually, Jim wrote A Major Critique of REBT, which effectively dismantled the Extreme Stoic foundations of REBT – and marked the end of their association with rational and cognitive therapy, and the simplistic ABC model of human disturbance.
Distinguishing Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT) form REBT/CBT
By Dr Jim Byrne
The most fundamental difference between E-CENT theory and REBT/CBT theory is their models of human disturbance.
Albert Ellis, the creator of REBT, and the grandfather of general CBT, rejected the simple Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model of neobehaviourism, and Freud's It/Ego/Superego, and substituted his own simple ABC model.
The simple SOR model assumed that, every time a stimulus impacted an organism, an adaptive response, based upon prior conditioning, was emitted or produced. If a person saw something which had previously frightened them, then they would respond with fear. But if the same stimulus had previously angered them, then they would respond with anger.
The simple ABC model dumped the role of experience, conditioning, and habit formation, and replaced those experiential psychological processes with a single concept: Beliefs!
I have produced an extensive critique of the ABC model of REBT, in my main book on REBT, which is 'A Major Critique of REBT'.
For more information, please see my blog post about Distinguishing Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT) form REBT/CBT***
Moving on from REBT, Jim and Renata produced a book on Holistic Counselling in Practice, which integrated their revised philosophy of life – based on moderate Buddhism and moderate Stoicism, combined with: Attachment theory; Affect Regulation theory; Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB); Narrative therapy theory; and some insights into the body-brain-mind's dependence upon diet, exercise and sleep for optimal mental and physical functioning.
Holistic Counselling in Practice:
An introduction to the theory and practice of Emotive-Cognitive Embodied-Narrative Therapy
Cover design by Will Sutton
By Jim Byrne DCoun FISPC
With Renata Taylor-Byrne BSc (Hons) Psychol
This book was the original introduction to Emotive-Cognitive Embodied Narrative Therapy (E-CENT), which was created by Dr Jim Byrne in the period 2009-2014, building upon earlier work from 2003. It is of historic importance, but it has been superseded by Lifestyle Counselling and Coaching for the Whole Person, introduced below.
What is E-CENT Counselling?
E-CENT counselling is one of the newest, most comprehensive systems of holistic counselling. But this is something of a paradox, because, as John McLeod writes: "There are no new therapies." (From page ix of McLeod 1997/2006). Of course, what he means here is that most new systems of counselling are a result of experiencing and knowing about older systems of counselling, which coalesce and mingle and transform and evolve over time.
For example, E-CENT theory has some of its roots in the teachings of the Buddha, and the moderate teaching of the Stoic philosophers; though I also have criticisms of both of these schools of thought.
I have reviewed models of mind from Plato and Freud, and John Bowlby and the post-Freudian 'object relations' tradition[i].
And I have incorporated many ideas from the very latest thinking in affective neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology. I stand on the shoulders of giants!
Furthermore, as argued by Hill (2015), in describing other innovations, I am participating in the development of "major advances in psychotherapy", via the "integration of disciplines". (Page 98). It should be stated quite clearly, however, that I am critical of as many aspects of those disciplines as those I favour! I am wary of taking anything on board too readily, without adequate testing and critical analysis. And I encourage you to do the same!
Lifestyle Counselling and Coaching for the Whole Person:
Or how to integrate nutritional insights, exercise and sleep coaching into talk therapy.
By Dr Jim Byrne, with Renata Taylor-Byrne
(Cover design by Charles Saul)
This book has been found in practice to be very helpful to counsellors and psychotherapists who want to understand the role of lifestyle factors in human disturbance. Because diet, exercise and sleep are increasingly seen to be important determinants of mental health and emotional well-being, it is now necessary to rethink our models of counselling and therapy.
This book shows counsellors how to incorporate lifestyle coaching and counselling into their system of talk therapy. Also, it will help self-help enthusiasts to take better care of their own mental and physical health, and emotional well-being.
Adding back the body to the model of humanity
E-CENT counselling theory is about the whole individual client – the body-brain-mind-environment – and not just the mind of the client. It involves integrating the body-mind of the social-individual with their social environment.
It arose out the integration of various pre-existing theories and models of counselling and therapy – including the rational-emotive; cognitive-behavioural; emotive/ psychodynamic; and person-centred approaches. Plus attachment theory; and moral philosophy; narrative analysis; and some moderate Buddhist and Stoic ideas. Our ultimate aim was to integrate – as potentially equal contributors to personal happiness and mental tranquillity – the following elements:
(a) The body, (diet and exercise [plus relaxation and meditation]);
(b) The brain, (brain food, blood sugar, and brain/mind development);
(c) The environment, (relationships, right livelihood, living conditions);
(d) Personal narratives, (or stories, scripts, frames, beliefs, attitudes, values, which were learned from family and society); and:
(e) A sense of "something bigger than the self", (a spiritual practice, or a community involvement).
How to Control Your Anger, Anxiety and Depression:
Using nutrition and physical activity.
By Renata Taylor-Byrne, and Jim Byrne
(Cover design by Charles Saul)
This book argues that talk therapy is insufficient on its own. Changing your philosophy of life will not control your emotions, unless you also attend to your diet and exercise needs.
It is now increasingly being argued, by cutting edge scientists, that the root cause of physical and mental health problems is inflammation in the body, especially in the guts. The concept of leaky gut giving rise to leaky brain is increasingly being verified; and very often the causes of anxiety, depression and anger are to be found in the client's diet; or their lack of physical exercise. Of course, sometimes the main cause of human disturbance is that stress levels are too high; or coping resources are too low; or the individual has an unrealistic or unhelpful philosophy of life. Or the individual did not get a good experience of how to manage their emotions in their family of origin. But it is also true that sometimes, the main problem is lack of physical exercise, or sugary diet, or caffeine, or inflammation in the guts and brain.
By Renata Taylor-Byrne and Jim Byrne
The basic theory of E-CENT counselling and therapy
The basic theory of E-CENT begins with the relationship between the archetypal new baby and its mother. This is (for the baby) a feeling relationship. And the baby stores, in permanent memory, beyond conscious awareness, every emotionally significant event in that most fundamental relationship. This relationship between mother and baby gives rise (in the baby's body-mind) to emotionally-coloured expectations, attitudes, and ways of seeing itself and the world, which shape the later life of the child. The 'sea' in which the child swims is 'the sea of emotionally significant language' and the common currency of that language is the 'story'. (Of course, those stories are about 'something' – real, concrete – and not just sounds in the air. And none of those concrete forces that is reflected in our social stories is the question of power; physical power – the power to hurt or be hurt physically; and emotion power – the power to love or hate another, and to be loved or hated by another).
We grow up imbibing stories about 'the nature of reality' from our mothers, fathers, siblings, peers, family relatives, teachers, and so on. In most of the stage directions, we will tend to find lines for ourselves which put us in 'bit parts'; 'supporting cast'; 'timid crowd member'. Thus some of us, and perhaps most of us (at least some of the time), will find ourselves justifying the playing of bullying roles in some of our stories.
The key conceptions of the human individual which are held by E-CENT counsellors are as follows. Each of us is:
(a) primarily a social body/mind;
(b) which has innate affects/feelings; and the potential to develop good and bad tendencies, and:
(c) which accumulates interpretative, emotionally-significant experiences – in the form of schemas, scripts, stories and frames (or 'ways of seeing the world') – which are stored in non-conscious forms; and:
(d) which manifest in Parent, Adult and Child forms of thinking/ feeling/ behaving (or perfinking/acting). And:
(e) The 'emergent I' in each individual has internalized 'Working Models' (or 'templates') of relationship (from their social encounters with mother, and others in their family of origin) which dictate the patterns and limitations of relationships to which they will gravitate and be attracted in their adult lives.
(Another way of saying this is that: The social/emotional intelligence of the socialized individual is determined by their experience in their family of origin, and this sets the upper and lower limits of their ability to relate to others – all other things being equal. [Of course, it is possible to meet new 'curative' individuals, such as lovers or counsellors, who can begin to help the individual to reform and reshape their Internal Working Models of relationship, and to raise their social/emotional intelligence – but this involves hard work, and it is by no means guaranteed to happen!]).
The Bamboo Paradox: The limits of human flexibility in a cruel world – and how to protect, defend and strengthen yourself
Finding the Golden Mean that leads to strength and viable flexibility, in order to be happy, healthy and realistically successful
By Dr Jim Byrne.
With contributed chapters by Renata Taylor-Byrne
The Institute for E-CENT Publications: 2020
Are human beings like bamboo? Are we designed to withstand unlimited pressure, stress and strain? Is our destiny to be sacrificed on the altar of 'flexible working arrangements'?
We live in a world in which there are dark forces that wish us to forget that we are fleshy bodies, with physical and mental needs; and physical and mental limitations; and to be willing to function like mere cogs in the wheels of somebody else's financial or technological empire.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) has played into this narrative, and given it philosophical support, by promoting a form of Extreme Stoicism in the name of therapy and wisdom, which it patently is not. (General Cognitive Behaviour Therapy [CBT] also supports this agenda, but to a lesser degree, or in a less obvious way! And some forms of Extreme Buddhism also advocate 'detachment' from material concerns, such as the need for a balanced life!)
In this book, I review the research that we have done on the limits of human endurance, and the determinants of that endurance – as well as identifying a viable philosophy of life – which will help you to optimize your strength and flexibility, while at the same time taking care of your health and happiness.
If you want to take good care of yourself in the modern mad-market, you could benefit from studying this book. It will provide you with both a compass and a suit of armour which will support you with the challenges and battles you will inevitably face.

Our holistic approach
While CBT and REBT use the ABC model, which assumes that almost nothing but the clients beliefs/thoughts intervene between their experience and their emotional/behavioural responses, we use a much more complex model, as follows:
The illustration below shows how we present the holistic SOR model to our clients.
As indicated in that illustration, E-CENT theory takes a holistic view of the client as a social-body-mind, with a habit-based character and temperament, living in a particular social and physical environment, with stressors and supports.
The client has a personal history which is unique to them; plus some social shaping that extends to their family, and some to their community; some to their nation/race/gender, etc.
This illustration should be read as follows: Column 1 – 'S' = (or equals) A stimulus, which, when experienced by an O = Organism (in our case a human), may activate or interact with any of the factors listed in column 2; and this will produce an R = Response, as shown in column 3.
To be more precise: The holistic SOR model states that a client (a person) responds at point 'R', to a (negative or positive) stimulus at point 'S', on the basis of the current state of their social-body-mind.
– How well rested are they? How high or low is their blood-sugar level (which is related to diet)?
– How well connected are they to significant others (which is a measure of social support)?
– How much conflict do they have at home or at work? What other pressures are bearing down upon them (e.g. from their socio-economic circumstances; physical health; home/ housing; work/ income; security/ insecurity; etc.)
– And how emotionally intelligent are they? (Emotional intelligence is, of course, learned, and can be re-learned!)
Within the Holistic-SOR model (in the figure above), in the middle column, what we are aiming to do is to construct a balance sheet (in our heads) of the pressures bearing down on the client (person), and the coping resources that they have for dealing with those pressures.
So this is a historical-social-stress model. It is not a purely 'cognitive distortion' model; nor a purely 'biological/ sexual urges' model; nor a purely 'prizing and listening' model.

Cutting through the Worry Knot!
How to Reduce and Control Your Anxiety Level: Using a whole body-brain-mind approach
And without using drugs, alcohol or escapism!
By Dr Jim Byrne and Renata Taylor-Byrne
Anxiety is not a disease; not a mental illness. Anxiety is part of our normal, innate, mental signalling system which tells us what is happening to us, and what to do about it. That is to say, it is part of our emotional wiring. Our emotional intelligence.
Trying to get rid of anxiety with drugs is like hanging two overcoats and a duvet over your burglar alarm when it goes off. The burglar alarm is designed to give you helpful information, which you can then use to guide your action. Should you check to see if a burglar has got into your house? Or call the police? Or realize that you'd mismanaged your alarm system, and that you should therefore switch it off?
Once you understand anxiety correctly, it becomes as useful as a burglar alarm; and you can learn how to manage it correctly.
When you buy a burglar alarm, it comes with a little Instruction Book about how to set it; calibrate it; monitor it; reset it; and switch it on and off.
You should have got just such an Instruction Book about your anxiety alarm, from your parents, when you were very young – and some people did. But if your alarm goes off at all times of day and night, in unhelpful ways, then I guess you were one of the unlucky ones who did not get your Instruction Book. This book contains your Instruction Book, plus lots of other backup information, which will help to make you the master of your anxiety, instead of its quaking slave.
Don't let your anxiety "burglar alarm" reduce your life to misery. Learn how to use it properly!

E-CENT theory continued…
Once we have established rapport, and worked on a contract and a specific focus, we move on to the detailed work of processing the client's communications about their concerns.
Process = The process of E-CENT counselling can have formal and informal aspects; including: discussion and questions; or the use of questionnaires to explore possibilities. And/or the use of a range of models and techniques and strategies, as described and explored elsewhere.
And the process tends to vary considerably from one client to another, as each client is unique. Although there is no one right way to begin, one fairly typical or common approach could be to:
- Explain the H-S-O-R model, and then:
- Explore the details of the client's Diet, Exercise, Sleep patterns, Self-talk, Relaxation/Meditation (as first priorities) – if appropriate.
- Then, explore the client's relationships (current and historic), as the next priority – if appropriate.
This elucidation sometimes involves the use of explicit questionnaires, but more commonly we stick to informal questioning about: Diet and vitamin supplementation; Exercise routine and frequency; Sleep quality and duration; and Relaxation and/or meditation practice. Also: What's going on at home, and/or in work? What has changed recently? And assessment of emotional needs and their satisfaction.
This is just one of several models that we have developed in the process of evolving E-CENT theory.
The Institute offers training in the following subjects:
– Health Coaching (Nutrition and Exercise)
– Lifestyle Coaching (Nutrition, Exercise and Sleep)
– Anger Management Coaching
– Stress Management Coaching
– Couples Therapy
We offer three levels of training in each of the subjects above:

Of course, we are not suggesting that 'talk therapy' is now completely redundant. But rather, that talk therapists need to understand the client as a body-brain-mind-environment whole, which is just as much a product of diet, exercise and sleep, as it is of family history and psychological 'habits of mind'.
To take one example, the so-called 'self' of the client can be defined in a number of different ways. One useful distinction is between the 'somatic self' and the 'autobiographical self'. Most systems of counselling and therapy are equipped to deal with the autobiographical (or narrative) self of the client, but not of the somatic self. The somatic self is the body-based sense of being 'this one here'. And the feelings associated with this state – of being this one here – are driven by how well this body has rested recently – in terms of sleep and relaxation. Whether it is well-hydrated. Whether it has been fed a nutritious diet, with adequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals and other nutrients. Whether it has been exposed to excessive sedentary activity, or is well exercised. And whether it has its 'sympathetic' (stressed) or 'parasympathetic' (relaxed) nervous system switched on!
All potential counselling clients should make sure they choose a counsellor who can relate to them as a whole body-brain-mind-environment complexity.
And, all counsellors and coaches who are currently practising should take a look at incorporating Lifestyle Counselling into their own system of talk therapy, by undertaking some re-training to become a Holistic Counsellor / Lifestyle Coach.***

"Electric Insurance are thieves. Stay away. When I discovered that my mortgage company was invoiced nearly an additional 1,000 premium I learned that - without my knowledge or consent, nor that of my agent - Electric had seemingly unilaterally decided to appraise my home, increase my coverage to ludicrous levels, and invoiced my mortgage company who promptly paid the invoice for a huge unauthorized, and unnecessary additional premium."

"Electric Insurance is a terrible company There should be a zero stars choice because Electric Insurance is a big ZERO. My truck slid off of the road and into a ditch due to black ice and hit the embankment of a driveway which damaged the front bumper, radiator, a headlight, and dented a fender. That was a month and a half ago and I finally got my truck back yesterday without the dent repaired because they refused to cover the dent claiming that it was not due to the accident, which it was. They also stopped returning any emails or phone calls almost two weeks ago and I would not have had any transportation once their rental coverage ran out if not for the kindness of the auto body shop where my truck sat for that month and a half while the shop waited for authorizations for repairs. As it turns out Electric Insurance hires seedy private claims adjusters who also ignore phone calls and collude with Electric Insurance to deny any part of your claim which they can get away with. Now I have to live with the dent or pay out of pocket to have it repaired but at least I have the truck back in my possession. Be forewarned Electric Insurance is not a company to do business with"

We had a incident with mold in our old house and they were right there with us...luckily we were able to get our home builder to pay for the mold removal. Granted I have never had to file a claim, but I did when I was with State Farm and had problems with them.

"I had this policy for almost 8 years and cancelled because I found a better rate with a better-rated company. I cancelled and was sent a bill for $1. I didn't know why I was charged $1 and didn't pay it right away. It turns out that the actual amount owed was $123 and the bill didn't reflect that. The company immediately sent me to collections when I didn't pay the dollar. No contact, no warning. I had never missed a payment or been late. I had never made a claim. After one month of not paying the $123 bill, that I didn't know I owed, I had bill collectors breathing down my neck. We were set up on automatic payment withdrawl and the agent was unable to adequately explain why we owed a full month's payment after cancelling the policy. He just gave me a run-around about the equity account and the owed premium being behind. I will never recommend this company to anyone. Go with a company you have actually heard of before. I'm just glad I never had to find out what they would do with their claims process."
Commented on 2008-08-06 08:21:33 EST
"The Agent did not supply all information to me prior to me cancelling the policy regarding the cancellation fees and other hidden fees when I contacted the company prior to cancelling my policy.Once I cancelled my policy I was sent one (1) notice, which I misplaced, next thing you know I was sent to a collection agency. If you are a current customer you would have gotten a 2nd reminder notice of fees due. But when no longer a customer you do not get a 2nd notice, they dicriminate in the way they treat existing customers vs non-customers, but stll charge the installation fee as if you were an existing customer.

You are unable to get the responsible agents on the phone and all others seem to not authorized to help you.

According to Davit Ramazashvili, he wants to export products to Russia too, but it requires a large number of products that can not be managed without the expansion of the enterprise. The businessman assumes that the expansion of the enterprise needs 200 thousand dollars.
At this stage "Tatara" produces 5 kinds of sweets insides – almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin and raisins.

So what's the difference in good ol' boy sales tactics and Attraction Marketing? Good question, I'm so glad you asked! 🙂
If you were to ask me "Celene, how do I sell more of my products, recruit more people on my team and make a bunch of money?
"My answer would be, "That's the wrong question."
The right question should be…
"How do I use the internet to build more relationships so that I can help more people and ultimately have the chance to expose more people to my products or business opportunity?"
The first question is totally focused on YOUR wants and YOUR needs. How do I get more people to buy MY stuff? How do I get more people into MY downline. It's all about ME. That's what so many millions of direct sellers and network marketers on the internet do. You know, the ones that quit because they say the opportunity doesn't work.
People are sick to death of being pitched to every 2 minutes.
This is the reason MLM has gotten a bad rap. It isn't the business model. It's the damage being done by the very marketers who believe in and defend the industry. It's the very ones who love the products and their company that are creating the negative vibe. But to be fair, it's not their fault. It's how they were taught to do it.
What you should be focusing on is…
How can I HELP more people? How can I set myself apart? Create more VALUE for other people – before I ask them for money?
Asking people to buy from you before they even know you is like going up to a strange guy in a bar, grabbing his butt, sticking your tongue down his throat and telling him you want him to marry you so you can have his babies. If he doesn't run screaming the other way, you might have a tire kicker, if you know what I mean (insert double eyebrow raise here). But he won't call you the next day.
Attraction marketing is all about giving value and building relationships before you ask people to give you their money. It's that simple. Will it happen overnight? Nope. It takes a little time to build trusting relationships, but it's so worth it!
If you enjoyed this I would really appreciate if you commented below and shared on Facebook 🙂

BittsAnalytics platform offers real-time social media analytics for cryptocurrencies – determining number of social media mentions as well as sentiment on an hourly basis. This allows assessing both the current buzz about the cryptocurrency as well as its sentiment (positive or negative). Sentiment is determined by applying machine learning models on texts of social media posts.
In this post we focus on Siacoin as another case study of application of sentiment analytics for profitable trading. A few days ago it had a big jump in sentiment, see our tweet from that time:
#siacoin with increasing sentiment (determined with machine learning from posts about $sc). also added are technical top patterns (we generate them daily for all coins with automated algorithms). source: https://t.co/arkJOhJWw8 pic.twitter.com/XzyLzNqAbf
— Bittsanalytics (@bittsanalytics) October 1, 2018
Siacoin proceeded to make a quick return of over +20% after the sentiment signal. Real-time social media analytics tools are available as part of our advanced subscription, you can find more information at:
For other recent examples of using real-time analytics read our recent blog posts:
Electroneum up 230% since a sentiment signal from real-time social media analytics
Ripple up more than 100% since a spike in social media mentions
Nano up more than 50% since surge in social media mentions on 11th September

One can. Two lengths.
Introducing the Surge 762™—a suppressor on your own terms. Now you don't have to choose between a short suppressor and a long one. You don't have to buy two. You don't have to pay a tax stamp twice. Or smudge your fingerprints twice. Or wait 6 to 8 months (at best) twice.

ADAPT™ Modular Technology. Stop choosing and start adapting.
The Surge 762 features ADAPT™ Modular Technology that lets you change sizes with ease—so you can jump from a bolt-action to SBR in seconds. It's the lightest 762 suppressor in its class by two ounces, and it's tough as nails.
Accuracy comes standard.
Surge 762 features a patent pending quick detach Dual Taper Locking System™ that ensures wobble free firing. Constant spring pressure on the rear taper keeps the mount securely locked against the front taper regardless of metal expansion associated with repeated heating and cooling cycles. When it's attached to the muzzle device or flash hider (included with every Surge 762), your rifle and Surge 762 become one.
The most innovative, strategically produced suppressor you'll ever shoot.
It starts with a single 2.8 lb piece of hardened 17-4PH stainless steel. We machine the 17-4 into the Surge 762's mount and expansion chamber. This provides an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, while minimizing the distortion normally associated with heat treat and welding processes. Its baffles are made from Stellite™ for peak heat and abrasion resistance. And finally, we strategically place the engraving over the thickest cross section of the tube for fast and easy replacement should the suppressor become damaged beyond repair.
Introducing our Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.
If something happens to your Surge 762—say you drop it from a mountaintop—Rugged will fix it or replace it free of charge.

Get Back to Basics
Whatever you do, don't call it Underwear. That term oversimplifies what might be the most important piece of your ski wardrobe. Today's base layers are more sophisticated than ever, with countless fiber, construction, fit and weight options. Other layers can be removed, added or adjusted to accommodate climate changes, but your base layer stays put all day, so finding the right one is crucial. We suggest you invest in a few sets—one for warm, one for cold and one for downright bitter days. Natural fibers such as silk and merino wool (from high-altitude-grazing sheep) are naturally renewable, biodegradable and have exceptional thermal properties. They're also highly breathable and odor resistant. But they can be delicate, so they can break down quickly. Synthetics—polyester and spandex—stretch without losing their shape, so they stay close to your skin where they may
efficiently wick perspiration. They're machine washable and highly durable, and they won't shrink or pill. But synthetics are not generally as breathable as naturals, and they tend to hold odors from moisture and perspiration.
Fabrics Natural fibers offer unsurpassed warmth-to-weight properties, even when wet, while synthetics are superior at transporting moisture. If you perspire a lot, opt for a synthetic blend, but avoid high percentages of nylon, which stretches easily, but doesn't wick or provide much warmth.
Care All base layers, regardless of their weight or fabric, perform better when clean. Use a sport wash product to ensure a complete rinse. Never use bleach, fabric softeners or irons, which can break down a garment's thermal properties.
Seams More important than you might think, seam construction and position can affect the comfort and flexibility of a garment. Look for flat or seamless stitching and performance positioning, which places seams strategically to avoid abrasion from back-packs and other layering pieces.
Neckline High necklines protect your skin from the cold and wind, and zippers are handy temperature-control devices in changing conditions. But zippers can be hard to get to under multiple layers. Also be aware of overlapping zippers, which can cause painful chin chafing.

In a rare act of valour, a Sikh police officer shielded a Muslim man from being violently attacked by an angry mob in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, the local media reported.
A video of the incident, which took place on May 22 in Ramnagar, has gone viral.
The mob, comprising extremist Hindus, wanted to attack the boy, who was allegedly discovered meeting a Hindu girl inside a temple in Garjiya village.
The cop, identified as Sub-Inspector Gagandeep Singh, can be seen shielding the boy in the video, as the mob attempts to beat him.
Three dead as Hindu-Muslim riots break out at religious festival in India
According to the local media, the boy's affair with a Hindu girl did not go down well with the crowd, who tried to lynch him. The crowd can also be heard asking for the boy's identification in the video.
The charged crowd can be heard chanting anti-police slogans and demanding his custody as Sub-Inspector Gagandeep tries to protect him from being lynched. The mob had also shut the temple gates in a bid to foil the Muslim boy's escape attempts.

Fall Frenzy is Here!
My favorite part of baseball season (next to the World Series) is the Fall Frenzy, aka free agent free-for-all. It's a time to see who has decided to look at their options, test the waters, or simply move on.
When I was younger, I always thought guys stayed on the same team. Now it seems like so many move around, its hard to keep track.
While there are a lot of names on this years list, I have my favorites that I am anxious to see where they will land.
A-Rod, I think, is going to land in Dodger blue. Who wouldn't want A-Rod?
I am also excited about David Eckstein, Torii Hunter, Aaron Rowand, Francisco Cordero, David Wells, and Jorge Posada. Eckstein is a scrapper that is a lot of fun to watch. I don't think it's going to take long for these guys to get signed somewhere – and I do predict A-Rod could very well follow Torre to LA.
So, with the series over, the frenzy begins, and it will be fun to follow. Share your predictions?
Final Inning
What a day at the ballpark.
The biggest crowd ever in Astros history showed up Sunday to say thanks and to send off their favorite 2nd baseman, Craig Biggio, into retirement.
From pre-game to post-game, it was an emotional day.
Craig and daughter Quinn threw out the first pitch to sons Cavan and Conor. Astros Owner Drayton McLane presented Biggio a letter from Commissioner Bud Selig, and Biggio addressed the fans who have followed his 20-year career, fighting back emotions.
To his fans, Biggio was a hero and they showed their love with standing ovations, over and over throughout the game. Ten to be exact.
Some fans drove hundreds of miles just to see him. "It was worth every minute," said Nancy Ratcliff, who drove in from Dallas. "I wouldn't have missed this for anything. I grew up watching Biggio, and I just had to be here today to honor him." So many followed number 7 for 20 years.
"It was one of those special moments today. I'm going to miss it,"said Biggio. This is all I really know. But the fans have made it worthwhile. That's what the game's about."
You see, Biggio epitomizes everything that is right with baseball. He hustled down the baselines – each and every time. He played the game honestly, fairly, and was a good teammate. He taught the younger players what they needed to know to become better, and he gave his time off the field, to his beloved Sunshine Kids. In five years, Cooperstown will be calling.
The fans were not the only ones cheering him on. Atlanta Braves players showed their respect applauding him, and pats on the back and chatting up at second base as they made their way around the bases. Chipper Jones, the Braves 3rd baseman, took a little longer to throw to first when Biggio grounded to third in the seventh, hoping he would beat out the throw. That was not only a sign of respect, it was a sign of class.
The long season and games away kept Biggio from his kids more than he liked.
Now that all changes.
Now it's all going to be about them. There will be driving the kids to school, high school and junior high games with his boys, spending time with daughter Quinn, and helping wife Patty around the house. It will be different for him at first – but the family moves to the forefront.
At the top of the 8th inning, the Astros icon walked off the field for the last time. Teammates rushed to the field to pay tribute to him. Braves players tipped their caps, and the fans never let up.
After the final bow, his numbers will speak for themselves: Games played 2850, at bats 10,876, 668 doubles (most ever by a righty), 20-years on one team, 20-years in one uniform. It was about how one Astro played the game.
But Sunday's game was more about the last time, the end of an era.
After the last pitch, Biggio saluted the fans by taking a lap around the stadium. He thanked his fans for accepting him for the last 20 years. "I am going to miss you," he told the standing room only crowd. Thank you very much for being my family."
The day was perfect.
What a way to go…..
Thanks for the memories Craig.

It's rare for the second book in a trilogy to not suffer from some sort of "middle book syndrome" — but that's just simply not the case with Shadows by Ilsa J. Bick.
Picking up where Ashes left off, Shadows is even more action-packed and filled with mystery than the first book in this thrilling zombie horror series. The first book alone reminded me of Stephen King's work, and Shadowsmore than Ashes is strikingly similar in theme and tone to The Stand. The apocalypse never looked so frightening — or so delightful to read about.
The Apocalypse does not end. The Changed will grow in numbers. The Spared may not survive.
Even before the EMPs brought down the world, Alex was on the run from the demons of her past and the monster living in her head. After the world was gone, she believed Rule could be a sanctuary for her and those she'd come to love.
But she was wrong.
Now Alex is in the fight of her life against the adults, who would use her, the survivors, who don't trust her, and the Changed, who would eat her alive.
Welcome to Shadows, the second book in the haunting apocalyptic Ashes Trilogy: where no one is safe and humans may be the worst of the monsters.
In Shadows,Bick brilliantly builds upon the world she created in Ashes — layering in complex new twists that will keep the reader eagerly turning pages and on the figurative edge of their seat. Throughout the novel's entirety, we get to follow multiple characters as the story unfolds. By the book's gripping, cliffhanger ending, we're left with a much broader view of this post-apocalyptic world than on the first page — and yet, even more mysteries abound.
One of the freshest new voices on bookstore shelves today, Shadows is a thrilling, compelling saga that does not disappoint. Look for it in stores on September 25th.

Do the same things again and again.. Rather than just hacking away in a hurry to ride the trails. Ricky had Lewis coming and a two day training event was put on. 4000 baht for two days.. Very fair and great fun. We started off on the track.. Lewis really wanted to see how we approached the jump as it is a steep up from the other side.. We could jump if we wanted to... This is as good as it gets for me LOL {} Here is Han's our 68 year old legend from the gang in Pattaya.. {} Lewis {} Lee on the mighty CRF.. We had only met once before briefly. Nice to catch up properly and ride together over the weekend. {} In the afternoon we went for a ride.. Try and find some Enduro type tracks and obstacles to practice on. It is lovely out this way.. Had to stop and take this pic. {} Bit of rocky mountain practice.. {} Then over some logs.. Lee doing a good job here.. {} Me {} {} Some hill climbs and you have to pop the front tyre up over the pipe.. {} {} Pow wow with the coach. {} {} Mr Baan Ricky in person.. Lending a hand.. {} Back to Baan Ricky and practice going down steep areas. This doesn't look too bad from here.. but when you are at the top.. It looks like a cliff drop LOL. ( The next day we stopped at a few different places and tackled even more challenging ones.. going up!) {} {} {} This young fella can teach this old dob a thing or two... {} The next day a few different things like cornering etc around the MX track.. Then out to find more natural locations.. First a river crossing and it was up as a lot of rain last night. {} {} {} {} {} {} Then we practice tearing through the mud and coming to a stop as quickly as possible.. using 75% front brake. Standing.. Not sitting.. so you keep control of the bike.. and the arse end doesn't go every where.. Absolutely soaked and covered in mud.. {} {} {} {} A short 22 second video of the muddy fun. Then some hill climbs... {} {} Slippery mud... I crash and Lee has a sympathy crash...

I find myself constantly using text smiley faces when typing messages to other people. It doesn't matter if I am writing something casual like a facebook message, or something serious like replying to a job offer
I usually use them to convey emotion, such as friendliness
:), sarcasm
:p, or excitement
:D. To me, they add a little more warmth and "human-ness" to text-based conversations, and they're part of who I am.
Typically I re-read anything serious I write before sending it, and will usually remove any compulsively-added smiley faces (the other faces are almost always kept for casual text conversations only), however today as I was removing a smiley-face from a response I was writing to a job offer, I found myself wondering if things like text smiley faces actually hurt me at all.
Does including text smiley faces in correspondence with potential employers hurt me at all?
I am mostly concerned with correspondence after the initial contact. I try and keep the initial contact correspondence very professional, however during replies I tend to let my personality show through a bit more.

Roguelike DnD: Losing Is Fun
I've been giving some thought to the idea of a truly single-player tabletop roleplaying game. If such a thing were possible, it wouldn't just be good for entertainment, it could be a platform for developing stories for publication.
Not that such a thing isn't already possible — there are plenty of D&D and other RPG novels out there — just that an effective single-player game would prove a fertile ground for developing stories before putting them to the page.
I had an idea to combine several game mechanics to create what I hope will be complex enough to be unpredictable (necessary for roleplaying reactions), but meaningful, and simple enough to be manageable by a single player.
The subject line of this post, "Losing is fun," is taken from Dwarf Fortress, a massive game that requires most of its players to lose over and over again before being able to manage its many facets — and here refers to a concept for narrative progression — an assumption that whatever the player does, they will lose.
It might seem a bit counter-intuitive at first but it occurred to me that a lot of the drama of classic heroic fantasy tales comes from the hero failing — or at least risking failure — many times before achieving some measure of success.
A hero succeeding at everything doesn't make for a very exciting story.
That led me to the idea then, that a game should assume for the hero's failure, and make every little victory a struggle for the player to achieve.
Borrowing from 13th Age for a moment, consider an adventure with X number of movers-and-shakers. Let's say three for the sake of simplicity. Each has a plan with five steps, each step representing an encounter the player might have.
Each encounter is difficult-to-impossible, and the player has the choice of meeting the encounter with little chance of success. If the player flees, the Mover's plan goes forward without a hitch. If the player achieves some measurable amount of success, the Mover experiences a setback however temporary.
If the player tries and fails "terminally," then one of the other two Movers steps in and "saves" the player, albeit at the cost of another Mover advancing their plan.
This has the effect of three parallel Doom Tracks, a la Arkham Horror.
If the player flees or simply fails, only one Doom Track advances. If they fail spectacularly, two Doom Tracks advance — but there's an excuse for their continued survival — again, however temporary.
Success affords the player little but a temporary cessation of encroaching doom, ensuring they will have more to contend with soon enough — victories are hard-won, but all the sweeter for the effort spent to win them.
If one of the Doom Tracks advances to the end first, as is inevitable, then you simply play out the ending of the associated Mover's plan. It need not be world domination, or anything so permanent — merely an adventure for another time.

Your love, that genuine fond and tender attachment, needs to be given freely again and again. When you feel exhausted from a sleepless night, look at your child and say, I love you. Speak it out – let it come from your lips to their ears. You want to give your child unconditional love and to do that you need to express it to them whether you feel they deserve it or not.
When they have yet again done exactly what they were told not to, after you have corrected their behaviour, tell them you love them because love keeps no records of wrongs. You don't want to accuse them but love them. Tell them you love them – you don't agree with the behaviour but you love them. They need the assurance that you are still their greatest supporter.
And when you see your child struggling to achieve tell them you love them. Tell them that they can do it, that they will get it, and that regardless of how they feel you are there for them. Your child's self esteem needs to be nurtured by you. You are the parent, the most important person in that child's life! If they can get the acceptance they need from their family they will grow in self worth and confidence. That's love at work.
As a child is nurtured in a loving family they will feel hopeful, encouraged and confident even when the circumstances are not the greatest. Why? Because love never fails!

Part 8 out of 8
"Then I felt as if something horrible was coming from his lips. My
breath almost ceased. Father did not finish what he was going to say,
but stopped and listened for a minute.
"'I was my father's only hope,' he went on after a while; 'I too was
born talented and prepared for great things, but the Orzos' destiny
overtook me, and you see now what became of me. I looked into the
tower-room. You know what it contains? You know what the name of our
secret is? He who saw this secret lost faith in himself. For him it
would have been better not to have come into this world at all. But I
loved to live and did not want to abandon all my hopes. I married your
mother; she consoled me until you were born, and then I regained my
delight in life. I knew what I had to keep before my eyes to bring up
my son to be such a man as his father could not be.
"'I acquiesced when you left for the foreign countries; then your
letters came. I made a special study of every sentence and of every
word of it, for I did not want to trust my reason. I thought the first
time that the fault was in me; that I saw unnecessary phantoms. But it
wasn't so, for what I read out of your words was our destiny, the
curse of the Orzos; from the way of your thinking, I found out that
everything is in vain; you too turned your head backward, you too
looked into yourself and noticed there the thing that makes the
perceiver sterile forever. You did not even notice what you have done;
you could not grasp it with your reason, but the poison is already
within you.'
"'It cannot be, father!' I broke out, terrified.
"But he sadly shook his head. 'I am old; I cannot believe in anything
now. I wish you were right, and would never come to know what I know.
God bless you, my son; it is getting late, and I am getting tired.'
"It struck me that he was trying to cover his disbelief with sarcasm.
Both of us were without sleep that night. At dawn there was silence in
his room. I bitterly thought, 'When will I go to rest?' When I went
into his room in the morning he was lying in his bed. All was over. He
had taken poison, and written his farewell on a piece of paper. His
last wish was that no one should ever know under what circumstances he
Balint left off speaking and gazed with outstretched eyes toward the
window in the darkness. I slowly went to him and put my hand upon his
shoulder. He started at my touch.
"I more than once thought of the woman who could be the mother of my
son. How many times have I been tempted to fulfill my father's last
wish! But at such a time it has always come to my mind that I too
might have such a son, who would cast into his father's teeth that he
was a coward and a selfish man; that he sacrificed a life for his
illusive hopes.
"No! I won't do it. I won't do it. I am the last of the Orzos. With me
this damned family will die out. My fathers were cowards and rascals.
I do not want anybody to curse my memory."
I kissed Balint's wet forehead; I knew that this was the last time I
would see him. The next day I left the castle, and the day after, his
death was made public. He committed suicide, like his father. He was
the last Orzo, and I turned about the coat of arms above his head.

Latin@s' Presence in the Food Industry takes the holistic culinary approach of bringing together multidisciplinary criticism to explore the diverse, and not always readily apparent, ways that Latin@s relate to food and the food industry.
The networks Latin@s create, the types of identities they fashion through food, and their relationship to the US food industry are analyzed to understand Latin@s as active creators of food-based communities, as distinctive cultural representations, and as professionals. This vibrant new collection acknowledges issues of labor conditions, economic politics, and immigration laws—structural vulnerabilities that certainly cannot be ignored—and strives to understand more fully the active and conscious ways that Latina@s create spaces to maneuver global and local food systems.

Then and Now
United Way of Rhode Island traces its roots to the Providence Community Fund (PCF), started in 1926 in response to a growing number of private agencies that were raising funds individually. The PCF was organized on the premise that a combined effort would give more Rhode Islanders the opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of their neighbors in need. Resources would be distributed according to assessed needs—as defined by the community—thereby ensuring a balanced response.
Henry Sharpe was the Fund's first president and campaign chair. Over a remarkably successful one-week campaign in October 1926, more than $480,000 was raised.
Over the years, other Community Funds were established in several Rhode Island communities. In 1935, Cranston became the first to join forces with the Providence Community Fund to conduct a single campaign.
The Hurricane of 1938 brought unprecedented destruction to the state and stretched the ability of PCF agencies to meet the needs of the community while at the same time restoring their own operations. PCF headquarters on Weybosett Street in Providence was flooded and most records were damaged or destroyed.
It was also in the 1930s that Royal Little, the founder of Textron, established a trust fund administered by the Rhode Island Foundation that to this day helps pay the organization's fundraising and administrative costs.
In the 1940s…
In 1941, all of Rhode Island's Community Funds or Chests were combined into one organization. Blackstone, Burrillville, Central Falls, Cranston, Cumberland, Lincoln, North Smithfield, Pawtucket, Providence, Warwick and Woonsocket joined forces as the United Campaigns of Community Chests in order to create a stronger sense of statewide unity in philanthropic work.
A year later, the group refocused as the Rhode Island United War Fund to meet the increasing burdens World War II was placing on families, especially those with loved ones serving in the military. The 1942 campaign raised $2.1 million dollars—130.8% of the goal!
It was in 1943 that compulsory withholding of income and social security taxes created the payroll deduction option as a method of donating to workplace campaigns.
This remains the favored method of pledging for United Way to this day.
Its mission accomplished, the War Fund was disbanded in 1946 and was reestablished as the Rhode Island Community Chests, Inc.
In the '50s, '60s and '70s…
The Rhode Island Community Chests became the United Fund in 1955. Responding to the community, the organization also began to focus on accountability of donor investment.
The 1960s and '70s were turbulent times for the country and for the Rhode Island Community Chest. While "Great Society" social programs brought an unprecedented influx of money into the community, it also led to duplication of efforts between long-established private agencies and newer government entities. Philanthropic activities faced challenges as it appeared to some that tax dollars would replace individual contributions as the way to improve the quality of life of those in need.
In 1973, the United Fund was reincorporated as the United Way of Southeastern New England in recognition that many who were supporting workplace campaigns lived in neighboring Massachusetts and Connecticut and that Rhode Island based agencies provided services to residents of those areas.
More recently…
United Way of SENE developed Critical Issue Funds in the 1990s to encourage more experimental and collaborative solutions to key issues facing the community. Programs such as Making It Work and the Community Schools-RI initiative foster creative approaches to problems, and bring together local groups with partner-funding organizations to expand the impact of United Way funds.
After an unprecedented outreach to the community, the organization began transforming itself in 2002 by changing its name—to United Way of Rhode Island (UWRI)—and adopting a new mission: To mobilize the caring power of the community to improve the lives of people in need.
In early 2004, two Community Summits involving 800 people were convened to identify key problems and issues faced by the community. Members of these summits made up a microcosm of Rhode Island and included consumers, service providers, government leaders, and representatives from the business and faith-based communities.
Because of the input from the Summits, UWRI's Board of Directors chartered three Impact Groups (IGs) that best fit with the organization's experience and expertise in the areas of Solutions for Children, Youth and Families; Helping People in Crisis; and Building Adult and Neighborhood Independence.The IGs—with a membership of 300 representatives from the community—worked through 2004 further defining program and funding priorities. Eight RFPs were issued in the late summer for IG funding.
In January 2005, United Way awarded its first-ever competitive grants through the Impact Group process. More than $9 million was awarded to 66 organizations for 77 programs. Twenty-six had never received funding before from United Way's general fund. Since then, two additional rounds of grants covering the periods 2006–2009 and 2010–2012 totaling $25.8 million have been given to scores of social service organizations in Rhode Island.
UWRI has been on the path of an "Impact United Way" since 2005. The "Impact United Way" is focused on generating measurable results to create a better community and to be relevant to donors. We have executed strategies that have combined strong public policy work, funding, and advocacy with measurable success. We have moved to a new location and made the headquarters come alive with community organizations and people in need of service from United Way 2-1-1 in Rhode Island.
The "great recession" has brought major challenges in fundraising and increasing community need. Our future hinges on our ability to build personal relationships with donors inside and outside the workplace. UWRI, through our Board and staff, must convey a sense of urgency, of competence, and of trustworthiness to continue to attract the partners we will need to continue our place among the top philanthropic organizations in Rhode Island.


text: Most Holy Trinity Church in Newquay has had a very exciting year as we have been joined with Christ the King, Perranporth and Our Lady Star of the Sea, St. Agnes so that we are now one big Parish. Fr. Anthony has served us all over the last year or so and we are very proud to say that on Tuesday 11th December 2018, we had an Induction Mass to appoint Fr. Anthony officially as our Parish Priest. It was a momentous occasion where many Clergy came to concelebrate Mass and was a very powerful witness for all. The Mass was very special in that Nuns, Laity and Clergy all came together, young, old, traditional and conservative, made it such a catholic gathering. Many commented on how moving the Liturgy was. There was a superb buffet afterwards where we had the occasion to toast Fr. Anthony and welcome him formally into our family. We hope to have many years of growing together in our faith.

Get Integrated PWV
The UCAR COSMIC program processes GPS data in hourly segments to produce near-realtime precipitable water vapor (PWV) estimates across North America. The data processed are from the PBO GPS Network, COCONet, Suominet + NOAA, USCG/USACE, DOT, and other sites. A subset of processed sites are co-located with met stations or near National Weather Service Automated Surface Stations (ASOS). The resulting Integrated Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) estimates are used in weather forecasting and atmospheric research.
PWV is reported in millimeters at a given station. All stations are combined into daily and hourly files for North America. These files are available as binary NETCDF and ASCII text formats.

Real Madrid wanted Chelsea to sign James Rodriguez from them this summer, according to reports.
The Colombia international barely featured under Zinedine Zidane last season and ended up joining Bayern Munich on loan in July.
The Daily Mail claims that Chelsea had the chance to sign Rodriguez before his move to the German champions but rejected the opportunity.
Madrid reportedly wanted Antonio Conte's side to sign both Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata from them in order to stand a better chance of getting Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois.
The report also claims that Hazard remains Zidane's top target and Madrid are prepared to make another move next summer.
On Tuesday, The Times claimed that Hazard has rejected Chelsea's contract offer of £300,000 a week.
The Belgium international is reportedly holding out for an offer from Real Madrid, and the Spanish champions would be prepared to match his wages at Stamford Bridge.
