The law of attraction and tricking the mind
As we read in the previous chapter, the subconscious mind plays a critical role in the practice of creative visualization, influencing the law of attraction in a positive or negative way.
Research done in the field of psychology undoubtedly demonstrates that the subconscious mind has absolutely no power to reason, and makes no discrimination, sorting or even analysis of the information it receives.
In fact, the subconscious mind is unable to know the difference between something that is real and something that is imagined. It is important to understand this point if you want to apply the law of attraction into your life.
Your subconscious mind will believe anything - right or wrong, true or false - that your conscious mind will suggest upon it.
Every affirmations or declaration made by the conscious mind to your subconscious mind, will be accepted as "true". When your brain buys into it, believes it, belief is created. It is the subconscious mind that "projects" or manifests our physical experience.
Exactly what does this means? It basically means that it is actually possible to trick or 'hack' your brain into creating or designing beliefs so that it will be in unity with your conscious mind's desires and dreams, thus letting the power of the law of attraction work its magic for you.
Every affirmations or declaration made by the conscious mind to your subconscious mind, will be accepted as "true". When your brain buys into it, believes it, belief is created.
The perfect way to trick your brain is, you guessed it, creative visualization techniques. Always remember: the law of attraction and creative visualization goes hand to hand.
As I have said earlier, creative visualization is a way to assist you in achieving your goals by reprogramming your subconscious mind efficiently.
The stronger a visualization session is, the quicker you can obtain results, as the subconscious mind will get in line or in accordance with your consciously set goals, and at the end, the law of attraction will do the rest.
The subconscious mind only thinks in the present. It does not think in the past or even the future, the way the conscious mind can. So the next time you use affirmation in order to obtain something you want, say… "I am", or "I have", not "I wish", or "I should." Be resolute, determined with your self-affirmations. Don't doubt, not even a little or the law of attraction won't work the way you want it to.
During a creative visualization session, your subconscious mind will give you what you desire a lot quicker if, while saying affirmations, you feel the emotion you would feel when you get it. If you say you'll have or get what you want in the future, your subconscious mind will see you as presently NOT having it. And that's what it will deliver to you… nothing. Be like an actor, pretend, act, make yourself believe you made it in the grand play of the law of attraction.
It's a known fact, the subconscious mind learns by repetition. So when, you say affirmations to obtain what you dream about, you can't just say them once and expect them to work immediately. You need to say them repeatedly, over and over again, until your subconscious mind acts upon them. Please note, I said ACT!
Understanding that the subconscious mind absolutely does not distinguish between what is real and what is imagined, simply pretend you are feeling, happy and delighted at the time you do your affirmations of what you want. Isn't that how you would feel if you had it? Just think about those joyful feelings and let the law of attraction deliver!Next: Beware of what you don't want

Best mobile phone deals - help please, you mothers!
What's the best phone deal I can get that gives me more minutes than texts (i.e. around 500 any network) and DOESN'T require me sending a million items of purchase/bill proof every month to get my money back! I hate mobile phone companies!
I would also like to keep my existing number.

How to Be Bad-- E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle
How to Be Bad is written by three popular YA authors: E. Lockhart who also wrote Fly on the Wall, The Boyfriend List, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landue-Banks (fab fab fabulous book!), and more. Sarah Mlynowski penned the Bras and Broomsticks books, and Lauren Myracle is known for her TTYL books. Each author takes on a character and the chapters of this book are narrated by three different female characters.
Honestly, this book isn't about how to be bad... mostly it is about how to be a good friend. The three gals, Jesse, Vicks, and Mel take a road trip to Miami to Chase down lost boyfriends, see giant stuffed alligators, and to visit the smallest police station in the entire world. This book is not fine literature, but you could tell the authors had fun writing it together. I would recommend this book to teen girls who are looking for a beach or bathtub read. While there are some serious issues that come up (cancer, poverty, religious zeal), mostly How to be Bad is about three girls having fun.

Emerald Lake is easy to access from the Bear Lake Trailhead. If you get there early in the morning, parking is free. This is a great spot for sunrise views of surrounding peaks.
Anyone who has been to Rocky Mountain National Park, or any national park for that matter, knows they get CROWDED. One of the best ways to beat the crowds are to arrive before the sun comes up (or stay after it goes down). That's how we opted to do Emerald Lake in RMNP.
After spending the night near Chasm Lake below Longs Peak, we entered the park via Estes and parked at the entirely empty lot for Bear Creek. This is a very popular snowshoe route in winter and short hike in every other season, and arguably one of the most scenic areas of the entire park.
The hike is only 3.5 miles roundtrip, with 650 feet elevation gain. You'll top out at 10,110, and with this altitude comes high winds at almost any time of year. The trail passes Bear and Dream Lakes, offers stunning views of Longs Peak to the South (if it's a clear day), and can be linked together with several other trails, like the one leading off to Haiyaha Lake. Tyndall Creek runs beautifully next to the trail to Emerald, and is worth some photos in and of itself. Once you reach Emerald, 12,713-foot Hallett Peak commands your attention. If you're as lucky as we were, you'll be the only ones there.

Favorite Hike
I don't know what it is about this hike that keeps me coming back, but it is my all time favorite. It's definitely crowded, so getting up there for sunrise is worth it to have some solitude and time to set up your hammocks before the crowds get there.
A great morning hike. Get out and enjoy the morning air while avoiding a lot of the crowds that take this popular trek in the afternoon
Great Hike Through a Trio Of Lakes
This is a perfect hike, passing Nymph Lake and Dream Lake. Dream Lake was my favorite but Emerald Lake has a grander view of the rocks and peak. You can scramble up some boulders to the left of the lake and get an amazing view of the hike you just accomplished. It's a great place to relax and eat some lunch. My son and I hung out by the water, skipped rocks and enjoyed the crisp air and beautiful views. The hike is fairly easy, my two year old son was able to do most of it on his own.

Arterial endothelial function measurement method and apparatus
United States Patent
|March 4, 2014
|View the Complete Patent at the US Patent & Trademark Office
|Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory - Visit the Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Management Department Website
|A "relaxoscope" (100) detects the degree of arterial endothelial function. Impairment of arterial endothelial function is an early event in atherosclerosis and correlates with the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An artery (115), such as the brachial artery (BA) is measured for diameter before and after several minutes of either vasoconstriction or vasorelaxation. The change in arterial diameter is a measure of flow-mediated vasomodification (FMVM). The relaxoscope induces an artificial pulse (128) at a superficial radial artery (115) via a linear actuator (120). An ultrasonic Doppler stethoscope (130) detects this pulse 10-20 cm proximal to the point of pulse induction (125). The delay between pulse application and detection provides the pulse transit time (PTT). By measuring PTT before (160) and after arterial diameter change (170), FMVM may be measured based on the changes in PTT caused by changes in vessel caliber, smooth muscle tone and wall thickness.

Kendrick Lamar reportedly dissed Drake during the Compton, California rapper's BET Hip Hop Awards cypher appearance.
"Nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control' / And tucked the sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes," Kendrick Lamar says in his cypher verse. "Ha-ha, jokes on you / High-five, I'm bullet proof / Your shits will never penetrate / Pin the tail on the donkey, boy, you've been a fake."
Reports of Kendrick Lamar dissing Drake stem from the rapper's use of "nothing's been the same" in the verse. The line likely refers to Drake's album title, Nothing Was The Same.
No official word has been made regarding whether the verse was directly a diss to Drake.

What Is The Affluence Network International Youtube Advertising – Reverse Pass Up
Thank you for coming to TANI in your search for "What Is The Affluence Network International Youtube Advertising" online. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you are attempting to do something prohibited, it's not a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be realized by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all present bitcoins. This scenario is not to suggest that markets are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there is no requirement for substantial amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest events on the planet market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

It should be challenging to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to have a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It's definitely possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities regardless of market behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be ok.
It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital money referred to as Bitcoin. There are different from common money we understand. It is because they're not commanded by any country or government. They do not go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. It also brought enormous alternatives to the issues of identity theft online. Transactions go through several celebrations as a means of creating trust, but nowadays it is possible to create trust through development of a sophisticated code by a single party. When searching on the internet for what is The Affluence Network international YouTube advertising, there are many things to think of.

You've probably seen this often where you typically distribute the great word about crypto. It's not volatile? What happens if the price crashes? So far, many POS systems presents free conversion of fiat, improving some matter, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people will undoubtedly be unwilling to put on any. We need to find a method to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network has become the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms offering long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the right place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these firms decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are worked out.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it's fundamentally important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can simply select to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
Many people prefer to use a money deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living pay check to pay check, it would take place within your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to cease operation.

In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might possibly be exchanged being a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce this sort of personal income is not manipulated with a fundamental bank system and is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a limited quantity of goods, this moneyis value is based on market forces, enabling entrepreneurs to industry over cryptocurrency exchanges.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, based on the amount of shares won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a secure stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there is absolutely no real palpable form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.

Hi everyone. Trying to get some conections for 3 or more way trades, so let me know if you want to come to Mesa, AZ and we can try to make this work. I'm trying to get to Spokane, WA or there abouts (Northern Idaho, Western Montana?). Mesa is on the East end of Metro Phoenix and most Rural routes are 40-43k and on the very East end of Mesa Where houses are under $200g and it keeps you out of rush hour traffic. LLVs, Windstars and Uplanders are coming in weekly, and all routes should have a vehicle by the end of this year. Mostly NBU routes around 10 miles round trip, with a few OTW routes and maybe two genuine Rural routes on the outskirts. Idealy, I want to move this coming Summer, But I'll make myself ready to go when ever the oportunity comes up. Hope to hear from you soon!!!

Postcrossing - Easiest Way to Collect Postcards
POSTCROSSING is a website where you can send and receive postcards from anyone around the planet. Fun right? It's already like traveling different countries through postcards. You'd get to meet cool friendly strangers and learn a thing or two from them. Whether it's about their lives or about the town they live in, or how their day went. You can write whatever you want in it! You will discover how creative people around the world are by the postcards they send. What's more interesting is, it doesn't have an age bracket. I've received a postcard from an 8 year-old once (her mom's the one behind it but she let her daughter write on the postcards), and a senior citizen from NZ! You'd be amazed by the people who sends you postcards! They are all amazing people.
Plus it's perfectly safe! I know it will be weird and creepy giving away your address to a random stranger. But post-crossing already thought through about that issue. They have a Postcard ID's that you can keep track of the same way you track a package with a tracking number.
When you send a postcard, it is important that you write the ID clearly so when the receiver gets it he/she will have to register it to post crossing then you'll receive and email notification that ID-123456 has arrived it's destination.
Although you'd have to be quite patient with Post Crossing. It's takes too long for the post office to deliver. And because there's only a limited number of post cards you can send, hence a limited number of cards you receive. Every time you send postcards, your limit increases by one. The catch is, its not considered sent if the card was not registered by the receiver. Otherwise, it's a lost "traveling" card.
I discovered postcrossing from a Tumblr friend last year. She kept on posting photos of lovely postcards and I got curious if it was a hobby of hers to collect or does her friends just send her some. She explained to me how Postcrossing works and I got really interested in joining. But it really bothered me in the beginning because I have trust issues (lol) I couldn't just send my address to a perfect stranger, could I?
But I have been thinking about collecting things ever since, I just didn't know what to collect. I started collecting coins back in college but it's hard and quite costly. And then I thought about collecting stamps, but I didn't know where and how to get the awesome ones! So I joined postcrossing instead - postcards have stamps on them. Ta da! Fun fact: Sending postcards worldwide only costs P13. Cheap, huh?
|Just got these two and I'm so thankful to those who bothered sending me these. It's hard to find unique post cards here, I give crap cards from National Bookstore, I don't deserve these! But thank you! Potterhead, always!
Here are some of my favorite post cards! I have 40 in total. One of the things that makes my extra tiring day is knowing these lovely postcards are waiting for me in the mail. It's quite exciting, really!
Quick question, do you guys know where I can buy cool post cards, except National Book Store and Papemelroti, please? Big thanks!
So what do you think of Post Crossing? Oh come on, you know you want to! Sign up now and maybe we can be pen pals!

An interesting post by Zachary Lipton makes an excellent point: that much of the public information on data technology (he speaks particularly to Artificial Intelligence technologies such as deep learning) borders on uninformed cultism.
Agreed. However, the technical, consulting, and academic communities can shoulder a good deal of the blame for the problem of analytics cults. What these cults have in common is an adulation of complexity. Tools of complexity and opacity are ofen seen as cool and intrinsically useful. I'll grant the coolness, but I'll also debate the intrinsic utility.
Complex methods like simulation and artficial intelligence have their place, and in very skilled hands can bring value. But even in expert hands, there is an obvious issue with complex techniques: they are difficult even for practitioners to understand, and their interaction with complex data can even more challenging to understand. As a result, our audiences may distrust the resulting outcomes, particularly when those outscomes are unexpected or unpopular. And lack of trust is the immediate precursor to a lack of adoption.
But it's adoption of results that matters! Results without adoption are not worth having. When the only adopted analytics outcomes are what our audience has previously anticipated, it's arguable that the analytics program itself is not worth having – it's merely an expensive way to confirm existing biases.
Analytics practitioners may see any lack of trust and adoption in complex techniques as irrational – but I disagree. Audiences intuitively realize that opaque methodologies can be subtly – albeit unintentionally – manipulated to reflect various biases. When our method lacks transparency, an unpopular outcome may be seen resulting from the bad attitude of a technical expert. The other side of this coin is confirmation bias – as we want to please our sponsers, we may unintentionally steer complex methods to what sponsors expect. Not only is that not difficult, it can actually be difficult to avoid. For example, once we encounter a result that "makes sense," it is natural to stop truly challenging and testing a complex approach. Investigative inertia can wind up favoring pre-existing notions, without anyone explicitly doing anything wrong.
I learned about adoption of results the hard way. After giving a valid but opaque argument that challenged an accepted scientific notion, my reward was to (literally) be yelled at by an roomful of angry scientists. That was certainly a sub-optimal moment, but I also realized they were right. An black-box algorithm effectively separates a new fact from its data, so that the algorithm plus its result no longer offer actual proof. From that moment, I've advocated for transparency as a feature of good analytics work. When we have to convince anyone of our result – and if we don't, why don't we? – transparancy enables explanation. Transparency is certainly not beyond the reach of complex simulation and artificial intelligence techniques, but it's often a separate analysis activity.
Over-eager advocates of complex analytics and data methods – ranging from big data to Metropolis Monte Carlo to elaborate artificial intelligence protocols – often haven't had to explain a truly new result to a genuinely skeptical audience. But that is also the ideal in analytics value – to discern genuinely new facts from data, and convince our customers that this New Thing is both valid, and worth their attention and action.
The costs of complexity are lack of understanding, leading to lack of trust, leading to a bias towards what is already known. These things can be overcome, but only at additional effort and cost. It's one thing to use a complex method to return what people expect. It's quite another thing – often more challenging and rewarding – to craft a simple and transparent method that convinces people of something unexpected. Even when the result makes people initially unhappy, ultimately everyone will know it was a good moment. It's why we're taking all that trouble in the first place.

Donate to the NCCN Foundation
FORT WASHINGTON, PA — The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) is collaborating with Foundation for Excellence and Quality in Oncology (ECO) to publish Spanish translations of NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®), as well as regional adaptions for Spain.
NCCN Guidelines® for the following diseases will be translated into Spanish and adapted: Breast, Colorectal, Non-Small Cell Lung (NSCLC), and Prostate Cancers and Melanoma, beginning with NSCLC for use in Spain.
ECO is a leading association in Spain, formed by medical oncologists, with the commitment of improving quality care for cancer patients, promoting excellence in clinical assistance, investigation, and training.
"The collaboration with ECO will significantly impact patient care and remedy an unmet need for oncologists and other clinicians in Spain and other Spanish-speaking regions," said Robert W. Carlson, MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN.
Additionally, NCCN will collaborate with ECO to translate non-CE NCCN educational content for the NCCN International Educational Activities Program (NCCN IEAP), which recognizes ex-U.S. physicians who demonstrate an understanding of the Guidelines through successful completion of required educational content hours.
"ECO and NCCN share many principles and values, and this agreement will help to improve quality care for Spanish cancer patients through the translation and regional adaptation of clinical guidelines," said Carlos Camps, MD, President, ECO Foundation.
NCCN develops and maintains 61 NCCN Guidelines and more than 70 adaptations and translations in 13 languages that allow for consideration of metabolic differences in populations, local accessibility, and regulatory status of regimens used in specific global regions.

From earliest times, people have tried to understand the weather. Before computer models, surface charts, satellite images or modern meteorological reporting stations were available, people often relied on proverbs and folklore.
For instance, several readers have commented on the early migrations of tarantula spiders in the North County, which may mean a wet winter.
Or they've recited ancient meteorological lore: "When a dark halo surrounds the moon, the month will bring rain or gather clouds."
Other weather watchers from Aristotle to French philosopher René Descartes tried to explain weather phenomena through the formation and lifespan of clouds, which is a much more reliable method of understanding weather. As any fifth-grader will tell you, clouds are part of Earth's water cycle.

Clouds are the condensation of invisible water vapor on very small nuclei from dust, volcanoes, pollen, forest fires, pollution from cars and factories, salt from ocean spray or sulfite particles from phytoplankton in the oceans.
Clouds exist in the atmosphere in thousands of different forms and sizes, like so many different rocks on Moonstone Beach. That diversity seemingly makes it impossible for anyone to successfully classify and thus predict the weather.
A French scientist in the late 1700s and early 1800s, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, proposed the first system for classifying clouds, but it wasn't widely used.
A short time later, in 1803, English naturalist and amateur meteorologist Luke Howard developed a simple classification system.
Howard's system used Latin words to describe three basic families of clouds: cirrus ("curl of hair") cumulus ("heap or pile") and stratus ("layer or sheet").
In other words, he divided clouds into three types: hair, heaps and layers. Howard later went on to name any type of cloud that produced precipitation as nimbus ("cloud or violent rain").
Howard later refined his cloud classification system and divided hair, heaps and layers into four primary cloud groups by the height of the cloud base above the Earth's surface.
These classifications include:
High clouds are classified as cirrus, cirrostratus and cirrocumulus and form at altitudes from 16,000 to 43,000 feet at our latitude. They are primarily composed of ice crystals and can appear in a luminescent array of colors.
Middle clouds are classified as altostratus and altocumulus, which form at altitudes from 6,500 to 23,000 feet. They are primarily composed of water droplets. However, they can also be composed of ice crystals.
Low clouds are classified as stratus, stratus cumulus and nimbostratus, which form from just above the surface of the ground to 6,500 feet of altitude. When on the surface, they are referred to as fog. If the temperatures are cold enough, these clouds may also contain ice particles or snow.
And last but not least, clouds with vertical development are cumulus and cumulonimbus. As the air rises thousands of feet into the sky, it cools and releases tremendous amounts of latent heat.
This condition keeps the air rising inside the cloud and can trigger thunderstorms. These convective storms can contain areas of organized rotation a few miles up in the atmosphere.
If the conditions are right, these thunderstorms can spin out tornadoes.
These types of clouds can on rare occurrences burst into the stratosphere!
This week's forecast
The Eastern Pacific high has moved far out to sea and will allow a series of unseasonably cold weather systems to pass over the Central Coast.
The first system in this series is a cold front that will pass over the Central Coast between 1 and 4 a.m. this morning with gentle rain and gentle to moderate (8 to 18 mph) southerly winds.
Total rainfall should be less than a quarter of an inch. This system is relatively cold, and snow levels are expected to drop down to near 4,500 feet.
Additionally, there are chances for thunderstorm development this afternoon over the mountains and eastern regions of San Luis Obispo County.
Heavier precipitation, small hail, lightning and gusty winds are possible with these thunderstorms.
However, most of San Luis Obispo County will see partly cloudy skies and cool weather with maximum temperatures only reaching the high 50s to mid-60s this afternoon through tonight.
Partly cloudy and slightly warmer conditions are expected for Monday.
A 1,007-millibar low-pressure system will approach the California coastline on Monday. The associated cold front will pass our area Tuesday morning with moderate rain and moderate to fresh (13 to 24 mph) southeasterly winds.
Rain showers will continue through Tuesday evening along with a chance of thunderstorms. Rainfall totals with this system should range between a quarter and a half an inch.
The average total precipitation for May in San Luis Obispo is 0.44 inches. The wettest May on record was 1998, which produced 3.41 inches. On May 22, 2006, a cold front stalled over the Central Coast and produced 2.76 inches of rain at the Diablo Canyon Ocean Lab.
It would be unusual not to have rain in May.
The Eastern Pacific high will move westward toward California and will give fresh to strong (19 to 31 mph) northwesterly winds and dry and warmer weather on Wednesday through the weekend.
Surf and sea report
This morning's 3- to 5-foot northwesterly (290-degree deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 11-second period) will remain at this height and period through Tuesday morning, increasing to 4 to 6 feet on Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning.
Combined with this northwesterly swell on Tuesday morning will be 2- to 3-foot southwesterly (210-degree shallow-water) seas.
Increasing northwesterly winds will generate a 4- to 6-foot northwesterly (310-degree deep-water) sea and swell (with a 5- to 11-second period) on Wednesday afternoon, further increasing to 6 to 8 feet with the same period Thursday through Saturday.
Arriving from the southern hemisphere:
A very large storm with hurricane force winds developed about 1,500 miles to the east of New Zealand. Southern hemisphere (190-degree deep-water) swell from this storm will arrive along our coastline on Tuesday at 1 foot (with a 25-second period).
This swell will further increase to 2 to 3 feet (with a 20- to 22-second period) on Wednesday and should peak on Thursday and Friday at 4 to 5 feet (with a 17- to 19-second period).
Coastlines with a more southerly exposure could see significant swell heights reaching over 7 feet.
Sunday's seawater temperature report:
Seawater temperatures will range between 51 and 53 degrees through today, increasing to 52 to 54 degrees on Monday through Wednesday.
Increasing northwesterly winds will produce cooler seawater temperatures Thursday through Saturday.

Ok, as promised, here is a quick taster of what I've been up to in my own quilting adventures.
I realised that it would probably be cheaper (and ultimately more satisfying) to print my own fabrics for the quilt. I have tried all sorts of image reproduction techniques in the past, but deciding to go with old fashioned stencilling for the rough aesthetic I was seeking. So, I drew out my images and cut them from stencil plastic with a craft knife.
I drew out rather a complicated plan for what my finished quilt would look like and what measurements of fabric I would need for each section, and decided to sew the central square together prior to printing so I wouldn't have to worry about matching the pattern later on. Here is the first stage of printing in progress:
And for a contrasting border, I cut another stencil, loosely based on a pair of pyjama bottoms I am quite fond of:
As we are still in our small 1-bedroom flat, I did rather monopolise most of the living room during this process, so I think Theo was quite pleased when the printing was over!
Anyway, the stitching began, and our cat Reg, who usually rather enjoys stomping all over my craft projects, was a bit freaked out by the new addition and as such has left it alone for the time being. I picked up some discounted Paul Smith shirting fabric for the backing (£4.99 a metre - cheap, until you calculate that you need 5 metres of it...) from Ditto fabrics in Brighton, a really beautiful fabric shop.
So now I'm just stuck with the enormous task of quilting the whole lot. It would definitely help if I had a special quilting foot for my sewing machine, which apparently ensures that all the layers of the quilt sandwich are fed through at the same time, preventing puckering. I'm a bit impatient though, so I've started the process (very slowly) with a standard machine foot. The above shows my progress so far, and it's about a quarter done, so I'll definitely be busy for the next few weeks to get it finished. I'll show you when it's done!

Rewards vary from inexpensive trinkets or coupons to more valuable prizes, often donated by community businesses (Zaza 2001). Highway safety offices and car seat advocates often play leadership roles in education, distribution, and incentive programs. Programs vary in length and intensity and can be implemented in targeted settings (e.g., car dealerships or fire stations) or throughout entire communities (CG-Motor vehicle injury).
There is strong evidence that car seat incentive and education programs increase car seat use regardless of the value of the incentive offered (CG-Motor vehicle injury, Cochrane-Ehiri 2006, Porter 2011, Dellinger 2007).
Incentive and education programs have been shown to increase infant and convertible seat use when implemented in daycare centers and across communities. Such programs have demonstrated effects up to five months after completion (CG-Motor vehicle injury), however, additional evidence is needed to confirm long-term effects (Zaza 2001).
Incentive and education programs also appear to increase use of booster seats among children 4 to 8 years old (Cochrane-Ehiri 2006).

My daughter just received her first email from one of her top-pick colleges that she'd been accepted. I felt excited and proud and a little sad all at the same time. You see, I will miss her when she goes off to school. She's one of the people I probably confide in most and she has been the most supportive of me on my WLS journey. I'll miss her encouragement.
I love you KB, and I'm very proud of your accomplishment! Keep up the great work and keep striving for more; you can do all things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens you!

So you know when I'm quiet for a while, I'm clearly up to no good, right? Well, I accepted a project that has been a ton of fun, and I've been working away at it like a good little elf. (I'll report on the no-good stuff in a different post. Heh.)
My sister-in-law found this idea on Pinterest, and asked if I could paint some stair risers for her basement like the ones she was admiring online. I love painting and I love books, so I jumped on board without a second thought. This life strategy usually makes me gnash my teeth with deep regret at my impulsiveness, and I don't really recommend it. Luckily, this time it's been a really fun project all the way through and I don't even hate anybody yet. She used leftover interior paint to base coat the planks, which is a great idea because now they'll match her house, regardless of what lettering I add to them.
Here's a pic of the whole set, with just the base coat of the lettering done.
And here's a closer shot of three that have the lettering detail done.
I have a couple more risers to detail, then they all need the shading/highlighting that will make them look more rounded, and not like flat pieces of plywood glued to the front of each step. They might not be photo-realistic when I'm done, but I do hope the illusion will hold up if a viewer squints and has a kind heart.
More to follow...
Love Shelley!

i.v.STATION 2 is Health Robotics' dual-use IV Robot to deliver "Totally Automated Parenteral Nutrition" in addition to non-hazardous IVs.
This 2014 project leapfrogs the status-quo of TPN Automation (6, 9, 10, 12, or 24-channel partially-automated devices from companies such as Baxter, Neocare, Fresenius, B|Braun, and Baxa) to a new level of TPN CPOE software-machine integration (including the multi-language features lacking in today's global market).
In addition to all the patient safety features existing on i.v.STATION, i.v.STATION 2 supports up to 34 ingredients/medications (so Pharmacy Technicians do not need to manually add ingredients); automatic priming of the IV lines; automatic labeling of the I.V. Bags (to reduce manual errors and labor costs in the labeling process); gravimetric control of every ingredient; automated powder reconstitution; Bar-Code recognition of source-ingredient containers (to eliminate source-ingredient error); automatic waste system; an ISO-Class 5 sealed chamber [including overnight UV-lamps sterilization] that can enable Health-System Pharmacists to compound safe TPNs with greater sterility than traditional TPN pumps in LAFs; simultaneously filling 20 I.V. Bags without operator assistance.

Ryan: Congress may need an extension on funding bill
House Speaker Paul Ryan warned Monday that Congress may need to work past the Dec. 11 deadline for a government funding bill, a sign Republicans and Democrats are still far apart on a final deal to fund the government for the rest of fiscal year 2016.
"Now I've got two big issues remaining; expiring tax provisions in the tax code, obviously funding the government, and that's what we're working on this week," Ryan told a local radio station Monday. "I am on my way to the airport right now. That's what we are working on this week, and it might take us more than just this week to get these issues put together correctly."
The possibility of an extension became clear last week, when Democrats warned they couldn't vote for the bill as envisioned by Republicans. Republicans have considered including language that would impose new restrictions on refugees, block EPA regulations and gut Wall Street reforms, and some want to block federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
Democrats have said including any of these provisions would lead to a shutdown, and on Monday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was already starting to blame Republicans for another government shutdown. Reid said the only way to ensure government funding after this Friday is to remove policy language favored by Republicans.

Sriram Srinivasan, a cyber security expert at 7Safe, a PA Consulting Group company is quoted in an article in SC Magazine commenting on a recent study which reveals that digital keys and certificates are in peril, especially at UK organisations.
The article explains that the biggest concern security professionals have is of a 'Cryptoapolocalypse'-like event, where RSA and SHA encryption protocols are compromised and exploited, although misused enterprise certificates are also a problem.
Sriram says: "Cryptoapocalytic events where fundamental cryptographic algorithms are compromised would have far reaching consequences for businesses and governments world-wide and most businesses are poorly equipped to respond to such an event.
"Widespread theft of cryptographic keys and the compromise of certificates which underpin the security of modern IT and communication systems such as the recently alleged large scale theft of keys from a global SIM card manufacturer would also fall into the same category if they are in fact true.
"In our experience, most organisations today have policies and standards in place on the use of cryptography. However, with the growing complexity of modern IT systems, there is often a lack of understanding of the full extent of the proliferation of cryptographic keys and certificates within their environments."
Sriram goes on to say: "Organisations also have poor understanding of the consequences arising from a compromise of their keys and certificates and often do not have a view on how they would respond. Too few organisations have robust systems in place for the ongoing inventory and management of keys and certificates. They must also ensure that they have a well-defined strategy supported by senior management to promote the on-going health and security of their cryptographic systems."

German inventors have an ingenious way of keeping your hot drink stay in 'perfect temperature' – warmth enough time till you finish it.
Klaus Sedlbauer, the head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP), and his colleague Herbert Sinnesbichler, used 'phase change materials' (PCM) of the sort found in the construction industry to keep rooms cool in summertime.
The material is usually embedded within plaster boards or placed on walls and ceilings to absorb and store warmth and releases it after the sun has gone down. It is the same technology uses in making ski-jackets.
Thank to Klaus and his colleague, now it has found a new life in the IBP mug. The high-tech mug is made using a porcelain shell with a hollow interior filled with a honeycomb structure made of ribbons of highly conductive material, such as aluminium.
This honeycomb structure is then filled with PCM.
'So now, if you are drinking hot tea in one of these cups,' Sinnesbichler told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, 'the drink's heat is directed straight into the still solid PCM.
'This heat, in turn, melts the PCM – kind of like wax – and turns it into a liquid.'
Once the material has become liquid, it retains thermal energy, but without absorbing any more heat.
Warm drinks – like coffee or tea – are best enjoyed at 58 degrees Celsius,' Sedlbauer said.
'In order to reach and maintain this temperature, we fill the mug with a type of PCM that becomes a liquid at exactly 58 degrees Celsius.'
The material absorbs the warmth of the mug's content like a sponge, stores it and brings it down to the optimal temperature. And then the PCM helps maintain the content's temperature at this optimal level by slowly releasing the stored heat back into the mug's contents.
'Under ideal circumstances,' Sedlbauer says, 'the optimal temperature can be maintained for 20-30 minutes.'
The material can be used in reverse, for example to keep beer cool at around seven degrees C.
The Frauenhofer Institute is in discussions with a number of manufacturers to bring the smart mugs on to the market by the end of this year.
'We don't know how expensive they'll be yet,' Sedlbauer says. 'We are already talking with different companies.'

text: Man bitten by panda bites back 20th September 2006 Gu Gu the biting panda who got a taste of his own medicine A drunken Chinese migrant worker who was bitten by a panda at the Beijing Zoo when he jumped into an enclosure to hug it, retaliated by chomping down on the animal's back. Zhang Xinyan, from the central province of Henan, had drunk four jugs of beer at a restaurant near the zoo before visiting the animal, called Gu Gu, the Beijing Morning Post said. He felt a sudden urge to touch the panda with his hand, and jumped into the enclosure, the newspaper said. The panda, who was asleep, was startled and bit Zhang, 35, in the right leg. Zhang got angry and kicked the panda, who then bit his other leg. A tussle ensued. "I bit the fellow in the back," Zhang told the newspaper. "Its skin was quite thick." Other tourists yelled for a zookeeper, who soon got the panda under control by spraying it with water. Zhang was hospitalized. Newspaper photographs showed Zhang lying on a hospital bed with blood-soaked bandages and a seam of stitches running down his leg. Another newspaper quoted Zhang as saying that he had seen pandas on television and "they seemed to get along well with people." "No one ever said they would bite people," Zhang said. "I just wanted to touch it. I was so dizzy from the beer. I don't remember much." Ye Mingxia, a spokeswoman for the Beijing Zoo, confirmed the incident happened but would not give any details. She said Gu Gu was "healthy." "We're not considering punishing him now," Ye said. "He's suffered quite a bit of shock."
