Fresh Thinking Labs
Fresh Thinking Labs the international open source movement for workplace innovation is your pathway to the best workplace practices and latest thinking from across Europe and beyond.Read more
We began in 1997 because there were too few spaces where enterprises, employers' organisations, trade unions, policymakers, professional bodies and researchers could come together, both to explore the future of work and organisations and to address the persistent "long tail" of those not making use of workplace practices that engage and develop the full talent and creativity of employees at all levels.
Since our foundation we have created a series of joint initiatives and projects involving diverse stakeholders, held regular pro bono events to share evidence and good practice, and has been a persistent advocate for national government and EU policies to promote better ways of working.
Explore the menu to discover more.
Two things are clear.
Firstly there is a vast and growing body of evidence to show that workplace innovation practices which empower employees to make day-to-day-decisions, challenge established practices, contribute ideas and be heard at the most senior levels of an organisation lead to better business results as well as enhanced workforce health and engagement.
Secondly it is equally clear that most businesses are either unaware of this evidence, or that they are unable or unwilling to act on it. Successive surveys demonstrate a substantial gap between research evidence of "what works" and common workplace practice.
We work with diverse stakeholders to:
We have also established Workplace Innovation Limited as a consultancy arm to help companies and public sector organisations create new and better ways of working which build on a vast body of research.
Explore the site to learn more about our surprising range of activities.
Workplace Innovation helps improve performance and working lives by releasing the full range of talent, knowledge and creativity from employees at every level.
Our Health Checks are not about us telling you what is wrong or right with your organisation. They are about your people telling us what is wrong or right, what can be done better, what works really well and what doesn't.
An Organisational Health Check acts as a springboard with the potential to release innovative behaviour, improve performance, enhance employee well-being and stimulate growth.
We know the importance of listening to employees at every level in order to understand what is working and what needs to be improved.
Our reports based on employees' own accounts of experiences at work provide boards and senior management teams with a powerful stimulus for change, and help to define priorities for action.
Workplace Innovation is at the heart of performance, growth and employee well-being. Many see it but don't know how to implement it.
We help organizations review improvement and innovation practices by breaking down walls and ceilings and creating dialogue across hierarchies and functions so that the better argument always wins.
Workplace Innovation's facilitators work closely with leaders, managers and employees at every level, understanding their aspirations and strengths as well as what holds them back. We seek solutions co-created by all of the main stakeholders in an issue to ensure buy-in and to minimise resistance to change.
What will your business look like in 2024 and what will your role be in leading it?
Seeing the world in a different way should be on the job description of Directors. Change is happening and it can't be controlled but it can be anticipated.
The demands of leadership are changing. At a time of significant challenge and opportunity, leaders and managers must drive improvement and innovation while motivation and energising employees. Emerging leaders must migrate from purely transactional management to proactive, transformational behaviour while current leaders must address the question of succession.
But where are the next leaders coming from and what skills and competences will they actually need?
Interactive theatre in the workplace is a real eye-opener. It helps to unlock employee engagement and creativity, one of the key challenges in securing successful organisational change, improving performance and enhancing working life – but it does it very differently.
You'll see your organisations in a completely different and thought-provoking light.
Expert facilitation, engaging presentations, creative thinking and interactive theatre are just some of the ways we enhance and enliven conferences, time-out sessions, in-house training and team development workshops.
We can also deliver masterclasses and provide internationally recognised expert speakers covering all aspects of people centres change, employee engagement, high involvement innovation and leadership development.
We know how to coach – we do it for a living. However, we are also on a mission to help managers and leaders become inspired coaches in their own right and to introduce a coaching culture to their organisations that will achieve sustainable benefits.
Networking, knowledge sharing, the pooling of ideas and intellectual capital are the dynamics that underpin a sustainable movement of workplace innovation and provide all organisations looking to change and to challenge the future with access to the choices open to them and the experiences of others.
Flexibility in learning is becoming increasingly important in employee development. We are experiencing a significant increase in clients needing a more flexible approach to the delivery of our ILM programmes.
Releasing staff to attend off-site public courses can cause problems for organisations, despite the obvious benefits of individuals from different backgrounds and industries sharing their experiences as they learn together. It is not always convenient for managers to block out days in their diary to attend sessions off-site, on dates that tend to be inflexible.
We recognise this and in addition to our public courses we are able to offer a range of flexible options to make it easier for organisations and individuals to access our ILM Leadership, Management and Coaching programme.

The event, Industry 4.0, digitalisation and the people-centred workplace, brought an amazing international group of companies and experts together to explore how successful organisations are engaging employees in digital transformation. The key takeaway was that technological innovation and innovation in work processes need to go hand in hand: "Digitalising a bad process doesn't make it a better process." Participants agreed that if companies allowed machines to be in control, it would result in expensive failure. But digital technologies can be designed and deployed to enhance operator information and decision making, creating optimal synergies with human skills and ingenuity.

Boys Varsity Basketball
Event Details.
|Bow High School
|Plymouth Regional High School
Monitor staff
The path to the playoffs became much simpler for the Bow boys' basketball team on Monday.
After handling their business with a crucial 61-53 home victory over Plymouth, the Falcons' fate is in their own hands. Clinging to the final spot in Division II's postseason picture, Friday's upcoming contest against Pembroke will serve as a win-and-in.
"This was huge," Bow coach Frank Moreno said. "There's mathematically some ways we can still get in even if we lose Friday, but we had to have this win. We're going to fight for this last spot, we're going to go and battle Pembroke, but we knew we needed this one if we were going to have a chance."
Thanks to a standout performance from senior guard Ryan Andrews and the work of the big bodies inside the paint against Plymouth, the Falcons got that chance.
Andrews finished with a team-high 20 points, freshman forward Shaun Lover added 12 and the efforts from sophomores Steven Guerette and Ben Harris inside allowed the Falcons to erase an eight-point deficit at halftime and beat the Bobcats to keep their playoff hopes alive.
"At the very beginning of the season we set a bunch of goals, and coming off a season like last year, one of those goals was to get into the playoffs," Moreno said. "What I said to them in the locker room is that we still have an opportunity to achieve that big goal. If I told everyone at the beginning of the season that we'd be fighting for a playoff spot on the last game of the regular season, we would take that. We have a great opportunity now and our fate is in our hands."
Bow set itself up for success with a spirited second half against Plymouth (7-10). The Falcons outscored the Bobcats, 16-6, in the third quarter and then became the aggressor in the fourth, drawing fouls and converting 10 of 14 chances from the free-throw line.
Slowing down Plymouth's Nick Qualey also helped. Qualey caught fire in the first half, but was held to three points in the second half to finish with a team-high 20 points for the Bobcats.
"(Qualey) was torching us from the outside," Moreno said. "I watched a lot of film on them and haven't seen him shoot like that before, but we kind of locked him down a little bit in the second half. ... We got back into the game in the third quarter just going inside the first few minutes. We went high-low, used Guerette and Harris and they did some damage inside to help us fight back into it."
Moreno's full attention now tilts toward Pembroke, which defeated the Falcons, 61-51, on Feb. 2. The regular-season finale has meaning for both teams. Bow is fighting for its playoff life and the Spartans are angling for a top four seed and home-court advantage.
"Pembroke is really tough and very well coached," Moreno said. "They have some real scorers on that team with (Jake) Sherman, (Noah) Cummings and (Sean) Menard, so they're a very strong team and we fought them hard at our place. I'm hoping that we can have that same type of game and then just see what happens."

Mind That Dragon!
The menu is more or less what you would expect in a café at an International hotel in Bali. A little bit of everything to satisfy all tastes. Some Indonesian and some International with an Asian flavour!
The Chicken Spring Rolls are wrapped in crisp pastry and come with a tangy plum sauce. Marinated Beef is wrapped in rice paper, Thai style sweet chilli sauce on the side. The Chicken Wings are stuffed with a vegetable and cheese mix, finger-licking good!
For the health conscious, a Garden Salad [with avocado, feta and sun-dried tomatoes], a Tuna and Sesame Seed Shredded Salad with pine nuts. Their special Caesar Salad has bacon bits with lemon pepper breast of chicken.
The mandatory Club Sandwich is served with chunky fries, A Submarine of Beef [long baguette] or Blackened Chicken Breast [Cajun style] on a soft roll. For the vegetarians a Foccacia with char grilled Tempeh, drizzled with peanut sauce, is combined with capsicum, eggplant, avocado, onion, oven-roasted tomatoes and humus.
The Asian Pizza has pork charsui, smoked chicken and mushrooms with lemongrass and chilli oil. A Marinara Pizza has a load of seafood, mud crab pieces, tuna, prawns and anchovy.
For the hungry, a variety of mains: their Seafood Fettuccine is tossed with mud crab, clams, squid, king prawns and fish. King Prawns are stirred stir-fried with spices. An Indian Chicken Tikka comes with cucumber riata. Rack of Lamb, Steaks and a Seafood Extravaganza [fish, squid, prawn and tuna, with a variety of sauces] are all available.
The normal Indonesian dishes are here [Nasi and Mie Gorengs, Sates and a Nasi Campur], but also Ayam Panggang Bumbu Rujak [Balinese style chicken with long beans and rice].
Fancy a Banana Sandwich? Crisp Banana Bread is wrapped around banana ice cream and coconut sauce. The hot Black Cherry Pie, with ice cream, is hard to beat!
A most pleasant place to while away an hour, or two, or three!

I thought we had already seen the Scorponok images?ReplyDelete
Well the Bumblebee image looks strange. Its kinda like someone took a hammer and banged his head flat.
- burnsideo78/25/2009 9:07 AM
They've basically raided Ben Procter's website (TF movie lead robot illustrator) and posted a stack of images from his transformers pages. These have been on his site for at least a few years now.ReplyDelete
BB looks strange as it's the state he's in when he's using the old Camaro as a refernce.
The website is benprocter dot com. There's plenty more drool-worthy TF gear on there (only for TF1 at the moment)...
Yep... all taken from http://www.benprocter.com/ReplyDelete
What I still fail to understand is why is Bay so against having 'ovbious' elements of the robot's alt. modes showing in their robot mode... i.e. bonnet = chest. Make the transformations believable (as much so as possible). One thing that I've noticed in TF1 that really irks is when we first see Ratchet transform... watch carefully where the wheels on his shoulders come from... they JUMP (!!!) from his hands. How are we supposed to believe such a creature/machine/being can survive heavy metallic melee if his body parts come and go as they please?! It reminded me of Prime's cartoon trailer 'appearing' when transforming. In RotF Someone please tell me where all Sideswipe's car parts go to when he's in bot mode?! Not a glimpse of any bonnet ANYWHERE!!
I know people will say I'm whinging 'cos it isn't G1... I know it's not! But neither is it barely Transformers! Hands up people... how many times over the TWO films have been seen Prime change from robot to truck ?!?! Barely even once! All the 'transformers' stuff happens off screen, i.e. liek when the Twins got their new alt modes. Why was that so hard to show on screen?! Yes I know financial constraints have a bearing in all this but he had $200m to play with!! The 2nd movie was too long with not enough happening!
One massive gripe from TF1 was when Bumblebee got his legs blown off... Sam told Jazz to reverse out the way... Jazz would never stayed in car mode for that... he'd be straight into alt mode! Cheap little short-cuts that lack attention to detail!
I for one hope Bay is not at the helm for TF3 !
Sorry to whinge on but as a huge gee-wunner I wanted these films doing properly! Bay is good loud bangs on a BIG scale... not small metallic objects on a small scale, i.e. car parts. Perhaps 2 directors?? Bay for the loud bangs... and someone who actually gives a shit for the important TRANSFORMERS (!!!!) parts ?!
- Ben_Dover8/25/2009 4:16 PM
I think the transformations were perfect, and I'm praying that Bay is directing TF3ReplyDelete
Simbatron--> Sideswipe's bonnet splits in two and becomes its "wings", which we can see when he jumps and spins above Sidewas in the openning sequence.ReplyDelete
We see them even ,ore clearly n the final desert attack sequence.
Scorpio--> This "flatten" Bumblebee's head was a previous unused concept by B. Procter.
On Procter's Site, we can see the "Toaster Bot" concept, finally used in TF2, plus some really interresting other ones.
A must-seen site !

I know.ReplyDelete
Sorry about that i just meant it looks wierd and i can see why the designers changed the design.

Blackjack Professional Series
The guys at Net Entertainment bring us another intriguing 3 hand blackjack game. Featuring cool animations, nice 3d graphics and a piano in the background, the game is on par with other Net Entertainment games. The development team decided to throw in a bonus Double Jack feature, which makes for a more interesting and exciting gameplay. Other options you might have come to expect are also present, including adjustable speed and re-bet.
The game is played with 4 standard decks and you can bet on three hands. Players are allowed to split a hand once, if dealt cards of the same value. You can double your bet after seeing your first two cards and you will have only one hit to complete your hand. Doubling after a Split is possible, with the exception of when splitting Aces.
A bonus Double Jack side bet can be placed after a regular blackjack bet and before cards have been dealt. The Double Jack bet wins when the first, or both first and second cards in the regular blackjack hand are Jacks. First card Jack pays x10 your bet, a Pair of jacks gives x25 multiplier and Two Jacks of Spades award you 100 times your bet.
The maximum bet you can place on the Double Jack feature is equal to the regular bet, meaning you can wager between €1 and €200 on each hand and side bet on the Standard bet levels. There is a Low Roller and a High Roller options. The Low Roller allows for bets between €0.10 and €5. The High Roller lets you bet from €25 to €500, meaning you can have a total bet of €3 000 on the table!

9 Foods That Help Fight Belly Fat
1 / 11 Black Beans
All legumes are full of protein and fiber—two well-known appetite crushers. And thanks to their dark color, black beans are also one of the highest in flavonoids of all the beans. And research shows that flavonoids may thwart the storage of excess tummy fat.
2 / 11 Pears
Fresh pears are so low in calories and high in fiber, you could eat one before every meal and still lose weight. But even better, pears are loaded with catechins and flavonols—two antioxidants that appeared to hinder the storage of belly fat in a 14-year study. (Related: Here's more on how antioxidants help banish belly bulge.)
3 / 11 Popcorn
Go ahead. Pop up a bowl. Sans the butter and salt, popcorn is a real gut whittler. Why? Because popcorn is a whole grain—and a study revealed that people who ate lots of whole grains had smaller middles compared with folks who ate mostly refined grains. So while you're waiting for yours to pop, clear all the white rice, pasta, and bread out of your cupboards. (Related: Give your popcorn some low-guilt flavor with these tips.)
4 / 11 Cold Potatoes
Hate having to pass on the potatoes for the sake of your pants size? Well, you may not have to. Just eat them cold—as in vinegar potato salad. If you chill potatoes overnight, they form something called resistant starch crystals—a constituent of fiber that triggers the production of two hunger-halting hormones, according to research. And resistant starch helps the body incinerate more fat for fuel while making less fat available to stash away in fat cells. (Related: Find out how vinegar potato salads help your blood sugar, too.)
5 / 11 Peanuts
Hard to believe that rich-tasting, calorie-packed peanuts could help you lose weight. But they just might. Seems the healthy fats in peanuts are burned more readily than the less-healthy fats found in cookies, chips, and creamy desserts. So make them your snack of choice. (Related: Supercharge the nutrition in your peanuts with this trick.)
6 / 11 Sunflower Seeds
Toss 'em into soups and salads, mix them into yogurt, or sprinkle them onto sandwiches for nutty crunch. Plus, sunflower seeds (unsalted, please) are high in monounsaturated fat -- a healthful type of fat that appeared to inhibit waist widening in a study of overweight people.
7 / 11 Tea
Seems the white version of this brew may be a veritable fat blaster. When human fat cells were treated with white tea extract in a lab study, the cells absorbed about 70% less fat than the untreated cells did. And those same tea compounds also triggered the breakdown of fat in existing cells. (Related: Here's another kind of tea that can help whittle your waist.)
8 / 11 Apple Cider Vinegar
As a fish condiment and tang-provider for sauces and salad dressings, nothing beats apple cider vinegar. But here's a big bonus: Apple cider vinegar also has a compound called acetic acid, which turbocharges the body's ability to burn fat and simultaneously hinders fat storage.
9 / 11 Safflower Oil
This popular salad dressing ingredient could be a big boon to your belly-flattening efforts, thanks to the omega-6 fatty acid called linoleic acid. It may rev up metabolism. And in a study, just a couple of tablespoons a day appeared to encourage belly fat to take a hike. (Related: Here's 5 kitchen hacks to help you lose weight.)
10 / 11 An Active Approach
Eating foods that seem to target belly fat is just a starter strategy for getting rid of that gut. You'll see better, faster results if you exercise, too. In fact, just being more active in general helps. In one study of office workers, just standing up more often helped melt 1½ inches from people's waists. It doesn't take much—just a few extra hours a week of exercise may produce results. Learn how 3 extra hours of exercise per week affected belly size in a recent study.
11 / 11 Stress Less
Reducing stress may help with the battle of the bulge, too. Chronic stress boosts your blood levels of cortisol—the "fight or flight" hormone. And cortisol encourages belly fat in two ways:
- It triggers cravings for sugary, high-fat comfort foods.
- It signals the body to store more fat in your abdomen.
Find out how meditating for just 7 minutes a day can reduce both stress and food cravings.
Men's Health
Did you know that men are less likely to seek help for health problems than women? This, along with certain biological factors, makes it important for men to pay attention to health issues as they arise. Some heart problems and ce...

catholic, church, good friday, holy friday, Holy Week, lenten season, penitence, penitensya, photography
"Penitensya (Penitence)" I'm lucky to witnessed this custom every year as part of their tradition every Holy week. Almost 20 people with covered face do penance every year in our place hoping that by doing this, their sins may be forgiven. I may not be favor of this kind of custom, but I am not on the place to judge them on how they express their belief. It really need a lot of courage for a person to do this act. As for what I've witnessed, It's really a bloody procession… literally. The blood can be seen on the streets scattered and even some houses need to cover their gates and fences with plastics so it will not hard for them to clean it. My shirt didn't escape for the blood that shove from the cane that they are using. My mistake, I'm wearing a white tees.. 🙂
Bloody morning!
They will cut their back with the blade, then they will start to whip it with the wooden cane. ouch!
I wonder if deadpool joined them. 🙂
If they are not yet satisfied with the pain and blood on their back. They will just need to lie down and someone will hit them with this DIY bat.
Still, cleanliness is next to Godliness. 🙂
At the end of the day, still they do it for the glory of God and for the forgiveness of their sins.

June 2 Science and God part 1
Excerpts from the show notes of the Just be it show
Episode 13 on June 2, 2012
Science and God part 1
Hello I welcome you to the show Just Be it at consciousness unlimited blog talk radio.
This is Rosemarie Heyer speaking.
Thank you for tuning in tonight. Here we explore the Inner Being, pure consciousness and look at the many paths and ideas how we can consciously connect to a Greater Intelligence in us and around us.
Synchronicity is part of our reality and I do not believe in accidents. So you have chosen this show so I invite you to stay and see what you supposed to find here for your own journey…
Today we will look at modern science and how it ventures into the spiritual realm to connect unexplainable findings of quantum physics, brain research, genetic engineering so to validate the existence of a spiritual dimension.
You can also find more information about all episodes of the Just Be it show with articles and quotes from the show on my blog firstname.lastname@example.com
I do appreciate your participation in this journey, love to hear your comments and ideas please write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
So the question we will discuss are:
Is it really possible to prove God by science?
Can science prove that there is consciousness?
Why is quantum theory the most used scientific theory to explain a spiritual dimension in our world.
Welcome back to the Just Be it show, this is Rosemarie Heyer speaking and tonight I am talking around science vs. God. One of the questions I want to discuss is: Why does classic or materialistic science beliefs advance and explain our complete world and the cosmos, without ever including on the fundamental presence of a Creator or the Absolutes?
I have talked about materialistic or classical science before in another episode, this science which is the majority of scientific approach today is still based on the mechanical principles which were laid as an foundation by Isaac Newton more than 300 years ago. The universe operates by natural laws like a giant clock, and there are no gaps left for a God to fill.
Stephen Hawkings refers to models of a universe which created itself, God is not needed.
Newton himself would have rejected this. He considered God to have a vital role in setting up the initial conditions for the universe.
There is an interesting analogy it was inspired by the idea that the cosmos is a well constructed machine. So an English theologian William Paley said, if one would find a fine watch in the forest the person must think immediately it must have been made by an excellent watchmaker. So Paley argues, that just the simple existence of such a complex and finely tuned universe must compel us to believe in a Creator, in God's existence.
However as we all know classical science does not belief in the existence of the Absolute. However this view is only about 500 years old. Meister Eckhart who I quoted in the last episode was a scientist and a religious leader of his times.
The paradigma of modern science is to focus only on that what is measurable in detail, and that everyone else is ridiculed and shut out of the community who poses the bigger questions:
Like what is consciousness, what is the cause of all this..? It is forbidden to think or speak about this.
That is the sad fact…and we can see it in every textbook at school. Even, Werner Heisenberg one of the main founding father of quantum theory and his circle still discussed this view of modern science with his circle of colleagues He was certainly a man who did include the bigger picture.
Now imagine
You wake up tomorrow and turn on the news..its everywhere on…science has proven that God exits..
The explanation is so simple that we all understand it.now doubt God exists..
we would all see it as a scientific fact that God exists, like we firmly see it as a scientific fact that an apple falls down due to gravity…..imagine..
Children would then grow up learn it in kindergarten, in school…not in churches or religion communities…what would that mean to you would it change your Life?
There is growing number of scientists who in recent years who have ventured into the domain of the spiritual. They are trying to understand some of the inexplicable findings which might validate the existence of a spiritual dimension.
Steve Hammershoff, Fred Allan Wolf, Dr. John Hagelin, Hans Peter Dürr a student of Heisenberg, Dr. Goswami, Nobel price recipients like John Eccles and the number is growing
Some of you might have heard or seen the movie What the bleep do we know which features scientists speaking to the idea of spirituality and consciousness from their understanding of the world.
Yet could it be that in their attempt they are reducing spirit, God to just a part of their equations, to an object of scientific curiosity?
As the Christian Mystic Meister Eckhart says:
Do not imagine that your reason can grow to the knowledge of God.
The main theory which causes them to makes God part of their search are the findings of the quantum physics.
These findings are so unusual, bizarre and counter-intuitive to our understanding of our world, that eventually one has to include the existence of God to find out what this is all about.
Quantum physics
Imagine you are putting sand into bucket…it flows and looks like a stream of sand, only when you go closer you realize It exits of uncountable small sand particles BREAK
Thanks for staying with me in this journey into the center of existence in matter…the quantum physics.
and if you look even deeper they are not existing either, they are waves and if you look closer again you see that there is mostly empty space…a field of power, a field of possibility. What is that?
The Quantum theory is most successful theory in physics (PET scans magnetic resonance scans are based on quantum physics. Laser CD's) 1/3 of Gross National Product of Great Britain results in quantum theory, It opens a new realistic view of the world, and has been found valid also for the macrocosmos.
The deeper you go, the simpler it becomes, or elegant. Yet at the same time it becomes intensely dynamic, and alive. The deconstruction of this smallest
Particle leads to such a tremendous destructive force.
Now back to our statement before the break…when scientist look more closely at the atom modell they found that there is really nothing there…they compared the nucleus of an atom to the whole of an atom.. When they measured the distance of the nucleus in relation to the whole atom, they found that the nucleus is ridiculously small, like a small bullet in the mids of a football stadium, while the electrons (large as a pepper corn) are circling it in the stands.
There was a great philosopher and scientist whose name was Arthur Eddington and he gave us a model to understand this concept. He pointed out: here I am, sitting at a table, writing this paper. However, when I describe this "real" table in the language of science as I understand it, it is a ghost; in fact it is made of atoms that are themselves mostly empty space.
Is it really empty space? It is not empty but full of energy, vibrating, very alive. Grandmother Parisha used to say that even the space in front of us is not empty. Take a moment to stretch out your hand in the seemingly empty space and you are reaching thru dimensional fields of potentials and entities. A specific example could be the picture of so called Orbs People made pictures of these beings with fast flash light shutters..hundreds or more at the same spot sometimes…round foggy shapes were cached by digital cameras all over the world but not by the naked eye.
Your brain does not belief they exist , so you cannot see it. You can find links to see these quiet common pictures on the internet on my blog email@example.com
Yes it is in the eye of the beholder…
It reminds me on an anecdote the famous scientist and nobel price recipient Stephen Hawking shared in one of his books: says the fish in a bowl aquarium sees the world warped, distorted
and actually the city council of the town Monza in Italy issued a ban on holding fishes in a water bowl, for reasons of animal abuse.
The fly sees certainly a different reality then we, the bee communicated by dancing infront of the beehive..and sees things much differently..they would insist this is the reality.
So we send out our satellites called Hubble and say so far we have not found any other civilization. Making beautiful pictures, with the way we know how to make pictures…and we say well there is nothing there…Orbs show there is more then we can think off…maybe ET not necessary can be measured the way we measure things.
But most important is, science draws conclusion and not asking the bigger question: What is the empty space in the macro – microcosmos including the quest for the the existence of God, an Absolute consciousness dreaming this world.
In the Mayavada Sutra from India which speaks of the non existence of the (material) world it says:
What seems to be the world, matter and energy, is in REALITY consciousness nothing but consciousness.
The world is based and sustained on the imaginary dreaming power of the Absolute consciousness. END OF QUOTE
The Mayavada means teachings about the delusions (false belief of world) and are based on interpretation of ancient Vedic texts by the Indian philosopher Shankara over 1.500 years ago.
The small but growing number of scientist are convinced, that the universe, in order to exist, requires a conscious sentient being to be aware of it. Without an observer, he claims, it only exists as a possibility.
The idea of an observer derived from the famous double slit experiment. It proved that measurements/observing the process leads to different results …specifically that a wave a vibrational state transforms into particle and vice versa. You can find a link for a great explanation of this experiments by Dr. Fred Alan Wolf also featured as Dr. Quantumphysics on my blog justbeittalk.wordpress.com.
So consciousness is doing the measurement, which initiated the move from a field of potential into a result. However the result is not depending from the consciousness. There is no cause and effect for the randomness of the results, says science today. The observing/measureing consciousness is just initiating the manifestation but is not! Causing the specific outcome, which is always random.
Dr. Fred Allan Wolf says: Without us the world is a gue place. There are no stones, tables or chairs unless we the observer brings things into material being. All is just wave, field of possibilities,
Does the moon disappear when I don't look at said Einstein, when he heard about that.
Yet I do belief that also these findings, clearly proven in many double split experiments, sound closer to spiritual dimensions than to material matter, isn't?
What do you think, let me know by writing to me at Just firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is from the book called the psychology of consciousness by Robert Ornstein
"An Ant got lost one day on a sheet of paper and saw how a pen wrote with fine black lines..
How beautiful that is, said the ant, these remarkable thing with its own Life makes beautiflul designs with such energy and so large, that it is equal to the work of all ants in the world. And the design looks like millions of ants. She passed its interpretation to another ant, who was also interested. She thanked the ant for her good observation and thinking. But another ant said, I admit, I based my research on your efforts. But I noticed that this thing is not in control. This pen is connected with certain other things which direct it. This is the source of power for it and must be acknowledged. " So the ants had discovered the finger.
Much time had passed, when another ant crawled between the fingers and discovered they were part of a hand. It did extensive research of the hand while it crawled all over it. It went back to its people and said: I have important news: these smaller things are part of something real Big. This real big controls all movements. " But then they discovered that the hand was connected with an arm, and the arm was connected with a body, and they found feet – but they were not part of the writing process. The investigation is still going on. The ants have a pretty good understanding about the mechanics of writings, now. However they will not gain any understanding about the meaning and the intention of the writing, and how it is finally controlled –due to their approach of research. Why? The reason for this is, they are educated in classic scientific work. " END OF STORY
Again as Werner Heisenberg says metaphysics have become a no, no…it is not allowed to ask the bigger questions, the question of a Creative Force, the question of meaning.
There are other concepts of Quantum theory which point to the existence of spirit.
Foremost the famous non locality and quantum entanglement, that show us that there is an order in the universe. I will be more specific about that in the next episode.
Let us have another look on the idea that our mind creates the reality we see and live in, that has be proven by neuroscience many times. .Interestingly is that the PET scan and the magnetic resonance scan of brains are built from the knowledge of quantum theory
Every man's world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind, and cannot be proved to have any other existence. Said the famous physicist Erwin Schrödinger.
Whatever that reality is, it exists apart from our perception of it.
When I see a tree there I only see the image which I have in my mind. Not the direct experience of the tree. Whatever the tree is in true reality, it is not green. Light of various frequencies is reflected from the tree to the eye. Cellos in the idea respond only to the light in three frequency ranges (the three primary colors red yellow, blue). But it has been found out, that all that is passed back to the brain are electro-chemical impulses; no color here. So the green I see is a quality created in consciousness. It exists only in my mind.
When you see a drawing of a cube it exists just of 12 lines on a flat sheet of paper, 2 dimensional. However when you look at the drawing you immediately see a cube in 3 dimensional with depth.
There is the so called real reality (whatever that may be) and the reality constructed in your mind. The Hindu word Maya means delusion (not as commonly held illusion) delusion a false belief of the world. The reality we perceive is very real for us, hard and strong.
However our beliefs about this world are false. For whatever reason, we are designed to forget that this is not how reality really appears.
With our visual senses it is most obvious as we can see sometimes how our brain tricks us into a image which is not there. However this illusion happens with all senses, for example hearing
There is no sound out there. Just pressure waves in the air, perhaps, but no sound. Sound exists only as an experience in the mind of a perceiver–may it be a human being or an animal.
So will science prove that there is god or will ist always be a personal endeavor to find God within following the command which was written over the entrance of the famous Greek temple in Delphi: Know thy self.
In all mystical writings none had experienced the unions of oneness, the pure consciousness
In the matter around him…all mystics all enlightened people who experienced the same and the same (which I have shared many times in all my episodes) the melting into the Oneness, the dissolving of the I, the ecstasy of being swept away from an immeasurable sense of Love or Union with the Divine. All that was found within, the mystics and seekers told us: Go within…
And this means by experiencing it…not by measuring it or calculating it. It is the Great Mystery.
And this experience transcends any religion or any one philosophy. It is the maximum expanded comprehension of All that is.
C.G. Jung, the founding father of modern psychology said in one of his book when he spoke about the art of alchemy..and I think this is also true to our subject of today.
And I quote:
"…and these processes are mysterious, as they cause a lot of questions to the human mind, …
For which he will work still long and probably in vain..As it it doubtful if the mind is the right instrument for this. …Alchymie calls itself an art..for a reason. Because it knows that these are things, which can only be captured by experiencing it. END OF QUOTE
And I like to end and I invite you to take a moment to look around and realize what is really in front of you and around you…you are living in a field of potentiality of random results put in motion by your observing mind…
Thank you for listening, next Saturday we will look at non locality and other findings of modern science to find a validation for spirit…Have a great week in the reality you create, and remember:
Always always love yourself.

Prostate massager by Zini
Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
This is a well made toy and does target the prostate as advertised. It is comfortable to wear and more or less does what it's designed to do. On the whole, I am not sure these devices live up to the hype and implied promises of mind blowing "hands-free orgams" or the elusive "super-O", but they do add some intensity to orgasm, just not as much as other toys I have used. This is better than the aneros SGX, but nowhere near as fun as the Get a grip was for me, so I give it about a 3.7
The Janus Anti Shock High Performance Prostate Massager by Zini is a great little toy designed for male p-spot stimulation. Because of its small size, it is ideal for those are curious or new to anal play. The more experienced users may appreciate its use for warm up or extended play.
I feel a bit bad comparing the Janus to Aneros' products, but I feel that it's so obviously derivative it's hard to avoid. I have to say that I liked the material better, and certain elements of the construction were nicer. It did not manage to reach my prostate, but I that may be remedied by getting a bigger size.
This new line of prostate massagers from Zini is a great way to explore the world of P-spot play. Zini gives you a hard plastic structure/base and the insertable section is covered with soft, plush silicone. The angle coupled with the raised texture come together to make one good looking toy and an even better P-spot massager. Look out Aneros!
The Zini JANUS Anti-Shock P-spot massager is a wonderful way for a beginner to start their journey into the world of anal play. For the more advanced user one of the larger sizes may be advised, but this little guy still has a few tricks up his sleeve that may surprise you.
This toy's small size makes it deceptive. It's very stimulating yet super easy to insert with virtually no warm-up required for all, except the most uptight anus. More experienced users will enjoy the comfort of this toy for long term wear and the amount of stimulation it provides for its small size. Overall a well deserving five stars.

Below is my first set of photos showing Kendal to Ben Alder...
May was so hot to start such a walk. We needed to stop and cool off regularly as we moved north to Scotland!
Many a tea stop was needed in such hot weather. Brattleburn Bothy and tea stop on the Southern Upland Way.
Walking day after day in such hot conditions, is it a dream or a nightmare? Skye sleeps in the tent corner after a long day on the road.
Skye, the natural poser on Beinn a Chochuill with Cruachan in the background.
A wildcamp just under Ben Lui - little did I know how much use those Pacerpoles would get. Absolutely irreplacable !
One of the more brighter, clearer views we had while in Glen Etive. This was taken ascending Ben Starav in wind, rain and low cloud. Conditions that continued for many days.
The Aonach Eagach was always a worry for us. Was it as difficult as we had imagined it to be...? Not really, and the rain stopped, the cloud parted and it was sunny for th event of crossing the ridge.
As the rain returned and the cloud closed back in, this was a typical view from the Mamores (and the Grey Corries and all the Ben Alder Munros etc etc...).
This is one of my favourite bothies - Meananach in Glen Nevis. It kept us dry during a particulalry nasty storm...Thanks Mountain Bothies Association.
The Grey Corries. What more can I say?
Culra Bothy with Ben Alder in the background. What a stunning setting for a bothy.

Cover 95% of your trouble-shooting in 3(.5) scripts.
Pre-August 1999
The Jonathan Lewis axioms of database tuning:
If you have got your database to run within 50% of optimum you've done incredibly well.
Identifying the problems after the system is in production is easy
Corollary 1 - Don't waste time chasing minor details, there may be important things to do.
Corollary 2 - Get a competent technician in for a couple of days early on to outline the worst traps and best options.
Once a system is in production there is little point in making a fuss about bad design and the things should have been done. Experience has taught me time and again that the biggest performance issues are introduced almost concurrently with the decision to use Oracle, and by the time that performance is actually seen to be a problem, both time and budget have run out. The only approach is to make the smallest number of cost-effective, low-risk changes that tone down the scale of the disaster.
Finding the best point of attack comes down to 2 very obvious checks, though these is a third option (which can run at two different levels) which may give some extra clues.
The first is simply (as the manual always said) the SQL that is being executed. v$sqlarea is a portion of the shared pool that allows you to see what has happened recently, how often it has happened, when it first occured, and how much it has cost to date. The possible problems are that each execution may be unreasonably expensive, or that the code is being executed too frequently. The script highlights both problems by listing the statements with the highest absolute cost, but also printing with each statement the cost per execution.
The second is based on the system I/O. Even if a suitable quantity of SQL is being executed, and the execution path is reasonable, it is possble that there is a physical data distribution on the data devices themselves. v$filestat reports for each data file the IO done, and the average I/O time for each file. The things to watch out for are - an extreme fraction of the I/O occurring on any one file; unreasonable times per I/O (I tend to take 2/100 of a second as a baseline), indications of large numbers of tablescans.
Finally, once the SQL and the I/O seem to be reasonably healthy, look at Oracle's internal wait list v$system_event, or in extreme cases v$session_event (code waiting to be uploaded) to find out if there is any more slack that can be taken up easily. It is not easy to make general-purpose comments about the figures you see in the event lists as so many of them are supposed to be large, and some are bound to get large if certain features of the application are true - nevertheless any event which happens frequently and whose cost is NOT close to a whole number of seconds is worth thinking about.
The three different scripts also highlight three approaches to using the v$ perfomance monitoring views. v$sqlarea is something you just have to dump from time to time. With v$filestat I have dumped the whole view regularly so that I can take differences at a later date. The code for handling v$system_event is designed to dump the change over a short time interval but leaves no trail for later processing. All three approaches are valid for different types of circumstances.

Perl SDK scripting
The purpose of the script is to scan one or more datastores for "orphaned" files, and allow the administrator to decide whether they can be deleted or not. Orphaned files would be files that do not belong to any VM that is currently registered on vCenter. There could be other files that reside on the datastore, which might not need to be deleted, so the administrator should have options to review the list of files to be deleted, or to specify a list of files that should never be considered orphaned.
Command Line Options Parsing The script should have the following options: 1. "ds", which requires a string argument describing the name of the datastore to be scanned. 2. "print" , optional, boolean, default value left to the student, indicating whether the script should print to stdout the list of orphaned files found after parsing each datastore. 3. "simulate", optional, boolean, default value left to the student, indicating whether the script should actually delete the files, or just print what it would do. 4. "delete" , optional, boolean, default not specified, indicating whether the orphaned files are to be deleted. 5. "delete-from", optional, requires a string argument pointing to a file containing the list of files to be deleted. 6. "delete-exclude", optional, requires a string argument, indicating a file containing a list of regular expressions of files that should not be identified as orphans. For each of the above options, the script should check if the parameters are conflicting with each other: • "delete" can't be specified if "delete-from" is specified • "ds" is mandatory except for when "delete-from" is specified, when it will be conflicting. • "print" and "simulate" can be specified together. In case of insufficient parameters, or parameters that are outside of the accepted values, or conflicting, the script should print an appropriate error message, mentioning at least the name of the parameter, its value and why it is not valid, and terminate with an error.
Command Line Options Implementation The script should implement the options according to the following requirements: 1. "ds": Should be a regex, so that multiple datastores can be selected. 2. "print": print to stdout the list of selected files, regardless of whether they are also being deleted. The format of the output should be strictly one file per line, using the datastore path format ([datastorename] folder/file). No folder/directory should be printed, unless optional requirement below is implemented. 3. "simulate": when an action is going to be performed (basically only delete), if this option I sset, instead of issuing the delete command, print a message per file on stderr. The format of this output is left to the student's choice. 4. "delete": regardless of whether --print is specified, if --delete is specified, go through the list of files, and delete them one by one. 5. "delete-from": disable any scanning and parsing, and directly get the file pointed to by this option, and use it to produce the list of orphaned files. The format of the file must be exactly the same as the one produced by –print. If directories or folders are specified in the files, the script should delete them. 6. "delete-exclude": if this option is specified, prepare a list of regular expressions to decide which of the files should never be considered as orphaned. The format of this file is one regular expression per line. 1. "ds" 2. "print" 3. "simulate" 4. "delete" 5. "delete-from" 6. "delete-exclude"

Toledo snapped Columbia High's two-game win streak with a 66-39 Trico League boys basketball victory there Monday night.
The Indians used defensive pressure to break the game open in the second quarter. They outscored the Bruins, 26-4, in the quarter to take a 46-16 halftime lead.
CHS committed 26 turn-overs in the game, which was a make-up of a contest postponed in December due to winter weather.
Miguel Perez-Gomez led the Bruins (3-6 in Trico, 3-8 overall) with 11 points. Jared Garwood scored nine and Ryan Lockman had seven.
At Columbia 38, King's Way 34: Six weeks ago, the Bruins lost to the Knights by 35 points. Last Friday they avenged that loss with a shutdown defensive effort in a game played at a deliberately slower pace.
"The only way I thought we could win was to keep the game at a slower pace and the team did an excellent job of mentally doing that throughout the game, hence, the low score," Bruins Coach Dave Garwood said.
Playing with confidence gained from its Jan. 6 game against Stevenson, Columbia made a plan to shut down one of the top scorers in the Trico League in the form of 6-foot-7 Knights center Keenan Walters.
CHS put 6-2 Jared Gar-wood on Walters and swit-ched on every screen the Knights set for their big man. The Bruins also went right at Walters on offense to force him to play defense or foul. In the final issue, Walters did not score and fouled out in the fourth quarter.
Columbia sealed the win by sinking its free throws in the fourth quarter. Garwood made 4 of 5 from the line and Ryan Lockman converted one with six seconds left for the final margin of victory.
"This was probably one of our best wins for our senior group to date," Coach Gar-wood noted. "It kept us in the playoff hunt, and we are certainly playing much better with some good matchups ahead of us."
Lockman led CHS with 13 points, Jordan McClain tallied 10, and Garwood had six.
At Columbia 59, Steven-son 50: Jared Garwood scor-ed a season-high 20 points and sank 8-of-9 free throws in the fourth quarter to lead the Bruins to their second Trico victory.
Clayton Gross had 11 points, and Blake Walker and Ryan Lockman chipped in 10 each.

Eliminating Taliban's safe havens will bring it to the table: US official
The elimination of the Taliban's safe havens inside Pakistan would be helpful in bringing the Afghan terror group to peace talks, a top US envoy has said.world Updated: Oct 04, 2016 11:37 IST
The elimination of the Taliban's safe havens inside Pakistan would be helpful in bringing the Afghan terror group to peace talks, a top US envoy has said.
Richard Olson, the special US representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, said Pakistan has been a "good partner" in reconciliation efforts, but despite that terrorist safe havens still continue to exist in the country.
"With regard to reconciliation, they have been a good partner. Pakistan was one of the initiators of the quadrilateral coordinating group. They made serious and sustained efforts to bring the Taliban to the table. The Taliban at the end of the day did not come to the table, and I think the onus is on them for that decision," he told a Washington audience last week.
Olson said the US has been having a dialogue with Pakistan for many years about the existence of such havens.
"We continue to believe that one of the conditions that would be most helpful for getting the Taliban to come to the table would be if they felt greater insecurity about their safe havens in Pakistan. We have very candid and direct discussions with them about that," Olson said.
The US, he said, continues to believe that Pakistan is key to a peaceful settlement in Afghanistan.
"We certainly encourage the Pakistanis to do anything possible to address the question of safe havens and to address as I said to create a sense of insecurity in the minds of the Taliban about the safe haven that they enjoy in Pakistan," he said.
Olson also praised India's efforts in assisting Afghanistan with its development projects.
"India has been a useful partner for Afghanistan. When Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi visited Afghanistan, he pledged a billion dollars of assistance. And of course, India has been actively engaged in development of Afghanistan reconstructing the Salma Dam outside of Herat, and a number of other development projects," he said.
He also appreciated the "important and welcome" security assistance provided by India to Afghanistan in terms of helping the strife-torn country build up their air force.
Asked if India's developmental activities in Afghanistan are upsetting Pakistan, he said "We don't see India in partnership, especially in the areas that I've described, as being something that comes at the expense of Pakistan."
"There is also an enhanced US-India partnership happening these days. And we don't see that in zero sum game terms. We don't see that as being at the expense of our relationship with Pakistan. We continue to be a partner with Pakistan and encourage them to play a constructive and helpful role with regard to Afghanistan," he said.

On Hotel Room Eating
How do you eat when you're away from home? We are traveling a lot this fall, and most of this traveling involves hotel rooms – as opposed to visits with friends and family. Even worse, the most recent hotel was one of those "resorts" with a restaurant onsite and very little else within easy distance. Even the fast food chains were a car drive away.
What's a food-lover to do? Bring your own food, of course.
We find that traveling is often hard on the tummy and the wallet. Restaurant and fast food portions are huge, and they leave us feeling a little yucky when we're eating prepared food three times a day. Plus conferences and meetings are usually located in places with outrageous prices and terrible quality. (Anyone been to Chicago's convention center lately? $15 for a half sandwich, anyone?)
But we have also learned that it's not so hard to eat healthy and cheap while traveling. It's not about food snobbishness (we like a good In-N-Out burger when we're in California); it's about saving money and eating a little healthier.
Here are a few ways we like to eat better in our hotel room.
• Bring your own coffee – This isn't for everyone, but we just about go crazy without a good cup of coffee in the morning. Those weak bags and hotel coffee pots just don't cut it. We bring a little bag of our own good coffee, and sometimes even the handy and portable Aeropress. (We draw the line at bringing our own grinder, unlike the very committed Intelligentsia barista we recently met.)
• Bake before you go – A home-baked muffin or some homemade granola are great additions to the suitcase. It helps us feel a little more centered, a little more connected to home to carry our own home-cooked food. Plus – cheaper.
• Find a farmers market – Our favorite thing to do when traveling is to find a local market and pick up a few lunch items. It helps us feel more connected to the town; it's the best form of tourism! On this trip we ended up at the Santa Monica farmers market (tough, right) and we walked away with a block of sage cheddar, some very sweet figs, tiny yellow tomatoes, a loaf of olive bread, and some ornamental kale to brighten up the hotel room. This fed us a good lunch for several days, and we felt much more nourished and cheery about our food each afternoon.
What are some of your habits and ideas for better hotel room eating? Do you have any favorite ways to keep your health, budget, and morale intact when traveling?

"The Simpsons" paid tribute to the late Marcia Wallace in its final episode for Edna Krabappel, Springfield's long-standing elementary school teacher. Wallace voiced the character in more than 100 episodes of the show.
The episode revolved around the comeback of villain Sideshow Bob, but the touching final scene portrayed Ned Flanders daydreaming about Edna. In the dream, Ned dances with Edna and she proceeds to laugh. Ned then awakens and says, "I sure do miss that laugh."
The touching moment is then abruptly disrupted by Nelson's signature cackle, but he then says, "I miss her, too."

Model: Dino
Gaining the trust and confidence of a small child is hard enough for a photographer, especially when looking through a camera lens, which can be intimidating to children. The Phoxi Dino Camera Buddy from Phoxi Tog is an accessory that becomes hands-free when you wrap it around the exterior of your lens, camera strap, or the brim of your hat. It helps gain the attention of an infant or a small child while taking their portrait.
The soft and plush Phoxi Friend can extend a full 17"; in length and is also adjustable, so the child can build and maintain confidence while interacting with the toy. If you start to lose the attention of the child; the built-in squeaker in the head of the Camera Buddy will regain that attention. For pet photography, the Camera Buddy works well with cats and dogs also.

If I knew, now are more than 17 types of Pokemon, with 495 individual species. This is a far cry from a few of the original "Capsule Monsters ' which Satoshi Tajiri invented less than twenty years ago. Unfortunately, for some (some players-most simply accept a new Pokemon with joyous enthusiasm), there is a real history or the logic of the proliferation of all these species in the 1960s but keep growing. There are more and more to be caught and trained!
The latest Pokemon craze is Pokemon black and white, which, of course, spawned new monsters, new Pokemon Black and white video game, as well as a completely new line of cards, Pokemon, Pokemon black and white black-and-white plush toys (stuffed toys) and the number of Pokemon Zukan volumes. Pokemon black and white promotional cards were very hot, as they came out. In fact, Pokemon black and white was the most exciting release of that game in a while.
Type 1 are called "normal" Pokemon, though it is difficult to tell what is normal for them. Type 2 Fire Pokemon, such as the name suggests, there are some of the capabilities of the fire. Most of the look of something, however, the Dragons. Type 3 is a type 2 opposite-Pokemon water. Will probably be extinguished Fire Pokemon in the fight against one of them, or who have more WINS each. Type 4 are electric Pokemon. From this group derives mascot Pokemon, Pikachu. These creatures are capable of producing great electric charges when they need to-that's in battle or in the hands of the inexperienced trainer. Type 5 are ice Pokemon, which are really good for slowing your opponent in battle.
Technically, they should be able to keep a cooler chilled travel routes to the city of Vermillion as well. Type 6 are Pokemon with grass, which usually means that their DNA was exceeded with living plants. These residues leaf usually give permission Pokemon as Razor or intoxicating scents. Type 7 is the Pokemon, and as the name suggests, excel, punching, kicking and architecture or construction. Type 8 are poisonous Pokemon. Let these Guys bite you, spit on you or lick you. Many have poisonous skin or other parts of the body.
Type 9 are Pokemon Earth. Hunker low and release the zazarte attack upwards. Are difficult to also. Type 10 are Flying Pokemon. Their advantage is obvious, but are resistant to fire, water and poison attacks. Type 11 are Pokemon physic. Typically, they know what their opponent's next move. Type 12 are Pokemon errors. Their weaknesses in the instability which they make for flexibility. Type 13 are Rock Pokémon. They are very difficult to overcome and to deliver devastating blows. Type 14 are Ghost Pokemon. If you do not see them, they cannot be hit. Type 16 are dark Pokemon. They are very good blending into the background preview attack. Finally, 17 type Pokemon are steel. Like a Rock Pokemon are very difficult to defeat and deliver devastating blows.
