This study examined overall job satisfaction among college faculty in Mexico. The study used data from a 1992-93 Carnegie International Faculty Survey. Secondary multiple regression analysis identified predictor variables for several faculty subgroups. Results were interpreted by differentiating between work-related and intrinsic factors, as well as by relating particular predictors to conditions affecting the Mexican academic profession. The strongest predictor variables were work-related (management, job security, academic salary); academic climate (academic collaboration, intellectual atmosphere); and other intrinsic variables (teaching and governance issues) played a secondary role. The study found that while Mexican faculty were generally dissatisfied with the job situations in which they work on a day-to-day basis, on a long-term basis they hold the careers they have chosen in high regard. The results were strongest for full-time faculty and faculty holding doctorates; they were weaker for part-time faculty and full-time faculty with no graduate degrees. Eight tables summarize the data. (Contains 27 references.) (CH)

Using the green links below will guide you in identifying everything you will need to know about the certification process.
Eligibility Requirements - click here
Under the "eligibility requirements" link above, you will find a list of all the information you will need to consider your readiness to apply. It identifies what to pull together in order to complete your application. We suggest you review the list and make sure you have all your information BEFORE you start the application itself. Having the contact information needed, materials you will need to upload copies of, etc. will make completing the application easier.
Application for Certification - click here
The "application for certification" green link is the on-line, electronic method for providing all the information that will be evaluated to grant Individual DBT Therapist certification. You will create your profile and be able to work on the application over time. Being prepared by following the helpful hints above will make the application process flow well for you. You can save your progress as you go. Once you actually complete and then submit your application for review, your application will be "locked" from any further changes as we verify the information you have supplied. You will also be asked for your non-refundable application fee at the time you submit your application. Once each step of the application process is completed, the next requirement to be completed will be unlocked. We've made it easy to do everything on-line.
The fees charged for each step of the certification process are explained under the green "Fees" link. There may be adjustments to the fees over time, so check the link when you do major updates to your profile.
At each step of the certification process, you are required to pass to the standard set through psychometric analysis and/or research that developed the adherence coding standards. For the Knowledge Exam, if you fail the first time, you must wait a minimum of four months before being eligible to re-take the exam. For the Case Conceptualization, if you fail the first time, you must resubmit the writeup before 6 months have elapsed. You will not be required to retake the Exam. For the Video coding, if you fail the first time you have 6 months to resubmit another three consecutive videos. If the client for whom the Case Conceptualization was approved is no longer available for video, a different client's sessions may be used but specific documentation will need to be submitted in that case. For any of these steps, failure the second time requires a 12 month wait. We encourage clinicians to obtain expert supervision and consultation in the event of experiencing a difficulty in passing the certification process.
Maintaining Certification - click here
Congratulations!! You successfully passed the hurdles it took to get certified. That is really important for your clients, you, your clinic, the public and those who reimburse for DBT treatmment. Certification is an on-going process as explained in the green link "maintaining certification". Each year, at a minimum, come back and be sure we have all your current information in your profile. Our responsibility is to assure that you continue to practice DBT; that you maintain your mental health license in good standing; that you stay up-to-date regarding DBT, etc. Completing the information under this link will keep your listing active in the List of Certified Clinicians. As a service, we will keep track of your CE's if you'd like; access your profile as you complete any CE trainings and enter them right away. Your on-line profile will always be current.
Continuing Education Units (CE's)
To maintain your certification throughout the 10 year period it is good for, 15 CE's are required to be completed every two years. Those that meet the requirements for DBT-LBC certification would be any approved CE credits related to treatment delivery in DBT within your designated degree for maintenance of your license. DBT-LBC does not have its own procedures for approving CE's. Topics such as mindfulness, behavioral activation, prolonged exposure, clinical excellence, measuring outcomes in therapy, ethics, learning theory, etc would all be considered relevant.
The DBT-Linehan Board of Certification (DBT-LBC) is an independent, 501c6 non-profit organization. DBT-LBC is a certification organization with experts that assess applicants for certification. We do not provide the training that is required for our certification and we are separate from all organizations that provide DBT training. This separation is vital to a quality certification program.

No Monday Garden Update Today!
So, on a whim today, I decided to delete my Facebook account. I just don't have time for it right now. Maybe later I'll change my mind. I just figure most of what I share is public here and I really don't have the time to dedicate to both at the moment.

Yakuza 3, for much of its length, left the grimy, neon-lit haze of the series' familiar Tokyo backstreets behind, and concentrated instead on long-standing series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu's attempts to achieve inner peace through fostering large batches of children at his beach-side orphanage. Yakuza 4 marks a multifaceted return to more traditional series territory. Not content with giving us a good look at the Japanese capital's underbelly through the eyes of a snappily dressed mobster, Yakuza 4 has added three new characters. Does this mean that Kazuma's story has been told?
"I think it's fair to say we've told a lot of his story," says producer Masayoshi Kikuchi. "The idea, in Yakuza 4, was to give a realistic portrayal of the Tokyo underground community." Structurally the game remains unaffected by the presence of an ensemble cast – it's still a JRPG grind through a never- ending series of Streets Of Rage style fistfights, but rather than simply bringing to the game their own unique stories and thematic concerns, the new playable characters grant players the opportunity to try out three new flavours of brawling.
Click here for the Yakuza 4 Walkthrough
The first new standpoint is provided by Shun Akiyama, a Tokyo moneylender with strong ties to the city's homeless – the level we play involves clearing out a yakuzainfested abandoned building on behalf of its down-and-out inhabitants. With his dirty, creased red suit and unshaven features, he looks like Kazuma after a heavy night on the sake, and, fittingly, his fighting style is the most immediately familiar of the bunch. He does, however, seem to favour kicks over punches when possible (one of his combos leads into a blurred flurry of blows which is unmistakably Chun-Li's lightning kick). Harder to get to grips with is escaped convict Taiga Saejima – or almost-escaped convict when we're introduced to him.
A prison-yard brawl with the guards in what appears to be a breakout gone awry is the setting in which we get to try his slower, more heavily grapple-based approach to combat. At first, the lack of reach to his kicks and jabs is frustrating, and it's not until one of the guards drops a baton that we're able to even the odds. Combat retains its exaggerated, self-consciously gamey visual flourishes, contrasting heavily with the brutality going on beneath the kaleidoscopic colours. One particularly brutal finisher involves repeatedly slamming a foe's head into a wall. Even when he slips out of the prison uniform, Saejima is certainly the worst-dressed of the cast. His story offers a counterpoint to Kazuma's own: he's jailed for the murders of rival yakuza gang members. Still living in his secluded orphanage at the outset of Yakuza 4, Kazuma is as ever destined to be dragged back into the dark side of Tokyo, his story intersecting with those of the newer members of Yakuza's cast.

"Stressed-out" persons secrete excessive amounts of steroids, one of which is cortisol. Cortisol suppresses the immune response. This response explains, in part, why persons who are stressed out experience a higher rate of upper respiratory infections. Some scientists have suggested that high levels of stress might encourage the development of cancer.

Last night Robert was really tired at 8:30, so when his nurse came in just before 9:00 he asked for his sleeping pill, took it and drifted off to dream land. Ashley went to sleep around 10:00.
At 12:00 Ashley is startled awake by Robert standing between his bed and her bed. He is taking the bottom of the sheets off the bed and stripping at the same time. Ashley just gawked at him for a moment, wondering what on earth he was doing??? She then realized that he was having a very difficult time getting his gown off because it was tied in the back. Ashley quickly stood up and said, "Robert, I can help you." He just looked at her and replied, "Oh."
With the removal of his gown he was now buck naked! He walked into the bathroom doorway and told Ashley, "I'm cold." (She thinks, "well yeah, you're naked!") But says, "I can get you some new clothes."
"What? I don't have any more clothes?"
"No, I said I would get you some new clothes."
"Oh, okay." Robert replies. Ashley brings over some new bottoms and a clean gown and helps him dress. She then tucks him into her bed while she goes out into the hall to find a nurse to change the sheets. When she gets back into the room she realizes there is water all over the floor under his bed and the sheets are soaked? Robert also notices this and is quite alarmed!!!
"Ashley, did I pee my bed?"
Ashley looks around thinking, did he really pee this much? "I don't think so Robert, it looks like water?"
"Are you sure? (short pause) I had a dream there was a fire."
Ashley replies, "I'm pretty sure that you dumped the pitcher of water onto your 'fire'!"
"Ashley, I'm really awake!" Robert exclaims.
Once his sheets are changed and floor is mopped Ashley helps Robert into bed, he is still very concerned and worked up over the possibility of having peed his bed. Ashley assures him he was just putting out the fire and everything is okay. She is also very clear, "if you need anything Robert, you can just say my name and I will get up and help you!" He promises he will. About thirty seconds after laying down Robert is out cold, so much fore being so awake!
At 4:00 he calls to Ashley, "I need to pee." She gets him the little urinal he can use in bed. Peeing jogs Robert's memory! Suddenly he turns to Ashley and says, "was I already awake? Did I pee my bed? Did I do something bad?"
Ashley reassures Robert that everything is fine, "you woke up, but you didn't pee your bed. You just spilled water."
"Oh, okay. (long pause) Are you sure I didn't do anything bad?"
"Yes Robert, everything is fine."
Convinced and calmed Robert goes back to sleep again. This morning Ashley tells Robert the story and he very vaguely remembers any of it, but still felt concern that he might have peed his bed! They have gotten a good laugh out of it and chalked it up as the night to remember 'when you were buck naked and were sure you peed your bed!'
Oh the memories! And the laughs!
*Robert is still neutropenic. The fabulous news is that he has not had a fever for over 24 hours, and he is no longer having any pain in his stomach or intestines! He says he is feeling great!

Sorry, sorry, sorry David. I did this, like, three years ago. It was an idea for a card I hoped to have published, but when those plans fell through, I buried the image in my archive of failure. If it were to have been published I would have asked for your permission or changed the face. Honest injun.
I posted it at cafepress.com to see what it looked like published - and I've sold one unit - to myself. If you like, I can improve it for next year - a white background is kinda boring.
But personally I don't think it says 'Xmas' nearly as well as the images of you blowing bubbles out of your ass.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Has the United States economy slowed that quickly, or was the Federal Reserve reading the wrong tea leaves?
A little over one month ago at its November 15 policy meeting, the central bank believed that inflation was more of a threat than recession. This week, the Fed declared that it was more worried about the risk of recession than inflation.
Hello? Welcome to the real world!
Any investor could have told Alan Greenspan and his band of central bankers that the tide turned nine months ago, when the Nasdaq began to tumble, and the dot-com bubble popped.
Those who worked for these dot-coms could have told him something was amiss this summer, when enough of them lost their jobs to push initial claims for unemployment insurance to one of their highest points in a year. See my August 25 column.
It was also apparent at that time that the nation's retailers were experiencing disappointing sales. After rising by an average of nearly 0.5 percent per month in the first seven months of this year, volume in August slowed dramatically (see my column of September 12). Things didn't get much better in September or October. As I pointed out in my column of November 22, retail sales in the three months ending October inched up a total of only 0.3 percent. Autos in particular hit a speed bump.
Now when you consider that retail sales represent one-third of the gross domestic product that should have been enough to make the Fed sit up and take notice. Add in the reports that companies in a broad spectrum of industries were failing to make their numbers and you've got the makings of a serious slowdown.
Why wait?
So where does that leave us, when it comes to a rate cut? One is coming-and it may be sooner than you think.
While the Fed's next Open Market Committee meeting isn't until the end of January, there is nothing that says the central bank can't cut rates sooner. Such an inter-meeting rate cut took place in October 1998 when the Fed was worried about the financial fallout from the problems encountered by Russia and the Long Term Capital Management hedge fund.
There is a growing chorus in the financial markets for the Fed to cut rates before its next meeting. They don't want to wait until the end of January to get rate relief.
As I said last week, the markets want a rate cut and they want it now. If they don't get one soon, they'll throw another temper tantrum.
Alan Greenspan may have a tin ear when it comes to pressure from the politicians, but when Wall Street talks, he had better pay attention.

It should have gone smoothly. Appointing a general aviation pilot to the board that oversees Montana's Great Falls International Airport would only make sense in the scheme of things, but apparently not in the mind of the board's chairman. The Cascade County Board of Commissioners has the right to appoint three members to the seven-member airport board. One of those was Dan Johannes, the first would-be member in years to have a GA background. But the airport board chairman refused to seat Johannes. A legal battle ensued. To support the county in its legal right to make appointments to the airport board, AOPA has sent a letter to the county commission. AOPA is asking members in the area to express similar support. "Having a general aviation pilot on the board can be of tremendous value in ensuring the airport meets the needs of all aviation interests to maximize its potential for your constituents," wrote Greg Pecoraro, AOPA vice president of regional affairs. Jon Kantorowicz, AOPA Support Network volunteer for the airport, has been supporting the county commission's appointment and keeping AOPA apprised of the issue.

SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference (G) condemned the slapping of Public Safety Act (PSA) on the incarcerated Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) leaders Mohammad Rustum Bhat, Mohammad Yusuf Bhat and shifting Maulana Sarjan Barkati to central jail Srinagar instead of giving him medical treatment.
The Hurriyat condemned the state authorities for their 'callous and insensitive policy' against detainees and called it as 'heartless and illogical'.
In a statement, Hurriyat (G) expressed displeasure over the silence maintained by World Red Cross, ICRC and international organization for human rights saying their negligence towards detainees is disheartening.
A spokesman said 70-year-old TeH leader Mohammad Rustum Bhat and Mohammad Yusuf Bhat were arrested during people's uprising in 2016 and have not been released despite court orders.
Spokesman said that Molana Sarjan Barkati was arrested in October 2016, in Shopian. During the detention his condition deteriorated but he was denied any medical facility nor was he released to facilitate specific treatment, said the spokesman.

London, UK-based FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) has acquired the licensing rights to Korean graphic character Mashimaro from Clko Entertainment.
FME plans to bring the Mashimaro brand, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, to the UK, German, French and Benelux markets.
While Mashimaro licenses in Korea range from plush and home décor to jewelry, Fremantle intends to target the preschool market in Europe with the brand. It's currently on the hunt for toy, games, gifts, apparel, homewares, food, plush, cosmetics and digital licensees for Mashimaro.
Mashimaro joins FME's portfolio of non-television brands, including Japanese graphic property Rebecca Bonbon.

Lots of other people analyze news events or issues, commenting on why something is happening and what its impact might be.
Dissecting the News does not. Instead, we dissect the mechanics of news stories, paying close attention to how the various parts of the stories work together — or don't. In addition, we focus only on stories with environmental or public health themes.
We welcome your comments and subscriptions. Please help us explore how we can do a better job drawing public attention to important environmental and public health topics — and how we can take advantage of the tremendous opportunities created by the current revolution in our conceptions of what is news, who is a journalist, and how should information be gathered and shared.
In addition, we will be addressing questions such as: Does a particular story do a good job of grabbing attention? Does the creator of the story put the new information in broad context, making it relevant to a wide range of people? Are the quotes compelling? Does the story raise a lot of unanswered questions ? What about the end of the story, known as the kicker? Does it leave the audience with a memorable fact or quote?
Dissecting the News is a project of Environ 320, a University of Michigan course also known as Environmental Journalism: Reporting about Science, Policy and Public Health. The course is taught by Emilia Askari and Julie Halpert, two journalists and teachers who have more than 40 years combined experience gathering and presenting news.

Day 03: Thimphu - Punakha
This morning we will take a drive to Punakha across Dochu La (3050m) from where one can have a spectacular view of the Himalayas to the north when the sky is clear. The pass is marked by 108 chortens (Stupa) which are Buddhist reliquaries, memorials to the teachings of the Buddha. Sometimes actual relics of the Buddha or revered monks are inserted into the dome of the stupa, but whether or not there are relics inside, the stupas mark the landscape with reminders of the Buddha's teachings. From here, it's about a little more than hour's drive down to sub-tropical Punakha Valley.
In Punakha, we will visit the Dzong that was built by Shabdrung, in 1637, on a strategic place at the confluence of Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers. The Dzong has played a hallowed role in the history of Bhutan. It served as the seat of Shabdrung's government, several foreign delegations were received here in 18th and 19th century, the election and coronation of the first King was observed in 1907 and the Third King convened the first National Assembly in the Dzong. The central monastic body continues to reside here in winter. The embalmed bodies of Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal and Terton Pema Lingpa are housed on the top floor of the main tower. Damaged by four catastrophic fires and an earthquake, the Dzong has been fully restored by the present King from the latest fire in 1987.

Wangdue district is famous for its fine bamboo work, stone carvings, and slate which is mined up a valley a few kilometers from the town.
Then drive up a winding mountain road through oak and rhododendron forest, and over a high pass down into the Phobjikha valley, surely one of the loveliest high altitude valleys in Bhutan. Phobjikha is one of Bhutan's few glacial valleys, and chosen winter home of black necked cranes, migrating from the Tibetan plateau. Explore Phobjikha valley and also visit Gangtey Gonpa (Monastery), the only Nyingmapa monastery in western Bhutan.
Travelling Distance: 70 km.
Approximate Driving Time: 03 hours.
Altitude: 3000 m

This pass is traditionally considered the boundary between western and central Bhutan. Further down the road, stop to visit Chendebji Chorten erected in the 18th century by a Tibetan lama to cover the remains of an evil spirit that was subdued at this spot. It is built in the Nepalese style, with painted eyes at the four cardinal points.
The landscape around Trongsa is spectacular and its impressive Dzong, stretched along a ridge above a ravine, first comes into view about an hour before the winding road suddenly leads you into the town.
Travelling Distance: 125 km.
Approximate driving time: 5 hours.
Altitude: 2200 m
Overnight: Trongsa
Day 06: Trongsa - Jakar
This morning, visit and experience the masterpiece of Bhutanese architecture at Tongsa Dzong. It was Shabdrung's great – grandfather who founded the first temple at Tongsa in 1543. In 1647 the Shabdrung had begun his great work of expansion and unification, realizing all the advantages that could be gained from Tongsa's position; he constructed the first Dzong at the place where his ancestors had erected the temple. The Dzong was called Choekor Rabtentse. In 1652, Minjur Tenpa, the Penlop of Tongsa, had the Dzong enlarged. The Dzong is built in such a way that in the old days, no matter what direction a traveler comes from, he was obliged to pass through the courtyard of the Dzong. This helped to make the Penlop of this Dzong as powerful as it had a complete control over the east – west traffic. The watch tower above the Dzong further strengthened its defense. The father of the first king known as the black regent and the first king served as the Governor of Tongsa before the emergence of the Bhutanese Monarchy, since then it has become a tradition for the young crown prince to serve as the Governor of this place before he is crowned.
Later, visit Ta Dzong on the hillside above the town built as a watchtower to guard Trongsa but recently converted into museum in 2008.
After lunch proceed to Bumthang, one of the most spectacular valleys in Bhutan and also the holy heartland of Buddhism. The 68 km. journey takes about 3 hours. The road winds steeply up to Yutong La (3,400m/11,155ft), and then run down through dense coniferous forest to enter a wide, open, cultivated valley, known as Chumey valley. From here it is about an hour to Bumthang, a most pleasant run in the soft, late afternoon light.
Travelling Distance: 68 km.
Approximate driving time: 02 hours.
Altitude: 2800 m
Overnight: Jakar
Day 07: Jakar
Bumthang is the general name given to a group of four valleys Chumey, Choekhor, Tang and Ura, with altitudes varying from 2,600 to 4,000m/8,530 to 13,125ft.
In the morning we will visit Kurje Lhakhang, one of the most sacred places in the kingdom as Bhutan's "patron saint", Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) meditated here. From Kurje monastery, a tarmac road heads south along the right bank of the river to Jambey Lhakhang. This temple, erected by the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century, is one of the two oldest in Bhutan (the other being Kyichu Lhakhang in Paro).
After lunch, we will visit Tamshing Lhakhang, founded in 1501 by Pema Lingpa. It contains interesting and ancient Buddhist wall paintings. Later on we will visit Jakar Dzong, "the castle of the white bird", and then take a stroll through Bumthang's market area before returning to the lodge.
Altitude: 2800m
Overnight: Jakar
Day 08: Jakar - Punakha
A full day's drive back to Punakha from Bumthang, past Trongsa on the west side of the Pele La pass. There are many interesting sights along the way and you can make frequent stops to stretch your legs and explore.
Travelling Distance: 212 km.
Approximate driving time: 08 hours.
Altitude: 1300 m
Overnight: Punakha
Day 09: Punakha - Paro
From Gangtey, the road gradually descends into the balmy Punakha valley, then begins a long climb back up to the Dochu La, where a stunning field of white chortens and colorful prayer flags send blessings up to the Himalayan sky; snow peaks line the horizon. From the La, it is only another hour to Thimphu. Stop here for lunch, then continue to Paro (just under 2 hrs), one of the most beautiful valleys in Bhutan with its slate-roofed farmhouses, graceful willow trees and rushing glacial river beneath snow covered peaks. Afternoon visit to Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the 108 temples constructed by the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo (only three remain), and one of the two oldest in Bhutan (the other is Jambe Lhakhang in Bumthang). Kyichu is built in a manner similar to the Jokhang in Lhasa. Inside there is a great golden image of Buddha Shakyamuni.
Travelling Distance: 150 km.
Approximate driving time: 05 hours.
Altitude: 2300 m
Overnight: Paro
Day 10: Chele La Ridge Hike
This morning, we will take a drive to Chele La (3750m), the highest motor able pass in the country and hike up along the meadow to Kung Karpo La (4100m). Weather permitting; we will enjoy the breathtaking views of the snowcapped mountains while walking above the tree line along the ridge that divides Paro and Ha valley. The short steep descent from the top will take us to the nunnery of Kila Gompa. Here the nuns, called anims, live a life of contemplation and seclusion, with daily prayer and spiritual practice. The temple itself is surrounded by numerous meditation huts, and many hidden caves lie inside the rocky cliffs. The gompa is surrounded by a lush forest dominated by tall firs. Sparkling mountain streams wind down the slopes, which are covered with a variety of wildflowers and plants.
About 30 anims, or nuns, live here, ranging in age from about 20 to 80 years. The community is one of the oldest of seven nunneries in Bhutan, and was initially established in the early 9th century as a meditation site. After being destroyed by fire, the temple was rebuilt and officially established in 1986 as an anim dratshang (religious community of Buddhist nuns).
Kila Gompa is historically significant as a sacred meditation site. Many renowned Buddhist saints have come here to find peace and seclusion. The main temple houses ancient statues of Chenrezig (Avalokiteswara) and Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) among others.
Life here is simple. The day begins and ends with prayers. The anims arise at 3 AM and study Buddhist scripture until 8 AM when they go to the temple for prayers. The first simple meal of the day (rice, vegetables and tea) is eaten at 10 AM, after which studies continue until 9 PM when a simple supper is served. The nuns retire after a final session of prayer. Most of the nuns have given up properties and left their families to live with the bare minimum of material things. Their studies and subsistence are supported by the government.
Some of the older nuns have retired into meditation, while many of the younger ones pursue basic Buddhist studies and perform religious ceremonies. The course takes 5-6 years, after which they begin meditation, which can range from four months to three years. One young nun, when asked why she had chosen this life, replied "There is peace in thinking about others, apart from yourself." Another said "If I was given back my youth, I would still choose this life but I would start it earlier. I have never been more at peace with myself."
The walk down from here to the road is lined with small white chortens and it will take us about an hour.
Travelling Distance: 45 km.
Approximate walking time: 05 hours.
Altitude: 3980 m
Overnight: Paro
Day 11: Hike to Tiger's Nest
Today, we hike up to the famous cliff-hermitage called Taktsang, the "Tiger's Nest." This monastic retreat is built into a sheer cliff face high above the Paro valley. Legend has it that the Tibetan Buddhist saint Padmasambhava flew across the Himalayas on the back of a tiger and landed here, bringing Buddhism to Bhutan. The trail to the monastery climbs through beautiful pine forest and an occasional grove of fluttering prayer flags.
After visiting what is known as one of the most venerated pilgrimage sites in the country, we will go off the beaten track further up to the temples that are on the hill tops above Tiger's Nest. It's so peaceful there and you can really communicate with nature as you enjoy the views from the top be it that of mountains or the valley. No wonder that some monks have chosen this place to meditate for the rest of their lives!
Coming back, we are following a different path that takes us through the pristine thick forest of oaks and rhododendrons festooned with Spanish mosses.
Approximate Walking Distance: 5 hours.
Walking Distance: 10 km.
Altitude: 2300 m.
Overnight: Paro.
Day 12: Departure
After breakfast in the hotel, drive to the airport in time to catch up your onward flight. Your escort from Bhutan Hiker will bid you farewell and soon the remote and legendary Dragon Kingdom disappears again behind its guardian mountains.
In addition to offering independent, flexible tour options, Bhutan Hiker can also arrange a variety of "add on" options to provide a more in-depth experience of Bhutan. These include:
- Cooking lessons
- A farmhouse stay
- "Ara" (rice liquor) brewing lessons
- Monastery experience
- Evening dinner & culture show
Alternatively, you can awaken your senses with a range of well being and spa retreats offering yoga, pilates, meditation, healing bodywork, hot stone baths and massage.
These activities can easily be incorporated into any itinerary. Please note that some activities may attract additional fees.

The W. K. Kellogg Middle Start Initiative is a comprehensive educational reform effort to foster school improvement efforts and build public support for middle-grades reform in Michigan. Begun in 1993-1994, Middle State has to date involved more than 220 schools, including those that have received grants for comprehensive school improvement (CSI) and focused grants to improve reading and mathematics. The Academy for Educational Development has been conducting the documentation and cluster evaluation of the Middle Start Initiative since its beginning in spring 1994. This study examined the progress of 12 schools receiving CSI grants as part of their involvement in Middle Start. The case studies were designed to capture the pathways adopted by the schools over time to evolve into middle-grades schools that promoted academic achievement, healthy development, and social equity. The study included interviews with CSI principals, interviews with CSI teacher teams, classroom observations in CSI schools, review of annual reports of CSI schools and technical assistance partners, site observations, documentation of network meetings, and data from evaluation forms at networking conferences. Findings show that schools obtained the best student outcomes when they developed an integrated focus on varied aspects of middle-school reform. Technical assistance partners played key roles in guiding the integration of time, expertise, and partnerships. Six schools led in the comprehensive and integrated nature of their reforms. Four schools demonstrated moderate progress for students, and two schools struggled to meet their Middle Start goals and showed lower levels of outcomes for students. (SLD)

To find his way back home, Odysseus has to visit the kingdom of the dead, Hades, to get directions from a prophet or clairvoyant.
The description of Odysseus arriving at Hades reminds me a little bit of Mount Athos this misty evening.
"…the outer limits, the Ocean River's bounds
where Cimmerian people have their homes — their realm and city shrouded in mist and cloud."
Mount Athos, this theocracy and tax haven rolled into one, this place full of contradictions, of ancient myth and legend, is also shrouded in thick, mysterious mist and dark clouds this evening as the dull, grey waters lap against the harbour walls…
By the time he makes the descent into Hades, Odysseus has undergone a long journey filled with difficulties, losses and sacrifices of all kinds, forcing him to confront his mortality.
Isn't the same true of all of us? Don't we too, like Odysseus, have to face our mortality, consciously confront the bitter knowledge of the nothingness and finite nature of our lives, something that only a vast amount of experience can bring, before we can find out way home to our true spiritual home, to God?
Certainly, it is true of me, dear readers. If I had not had to endure such a grinding, relentless difficulties, losses and sacrifices over such a long period of time, and had to face so much real danger targeted by my proven readers like George Soros and Alexis Tsipras, I would never have developed so much lack of faith in myself and in my ability to solve problems, and so much faith in God.
Odysseus has to open a special path into the Kingdom of the dead by performing a ritual. He digs a ditch and pours the blood of a sheep he has slaughtered into it. Then, he calls out for the ghosts he wants to see. They have to make a big effort to get to him and they have to drink the life giving blood, before they can speak to him and give him the information he needs.
The pilgrims heading for Mount Athos also have use a special path, obtain a three day pass after a complicated procedure, get on a special boat, have their passes checked on arrival and adhere to strict rules when they arrive on the monk's republic.
In the Kingdom of the Dead, Odysseus encounters a supernatural darkness.
"The eye of the Sun can never
flash his rays through the dark and bring them light,
not when he climbs the starry skies or when he wheels
back down from the heights to touch the earth once more —
an endless, deadly night overhangs those wretched men."
Might the same not be said about the crooked Abbot Efraim of Vatopedi? Doesn't a deadly spiritual night hang over this wretched man? Must he not be totally blind to the spiritual light, that he invests all his time and energy in swindlung the Greek state out of billions?
Efraim of Vatopedi and Theodekti of St John the Forerunner prove that it is possible to go to services, sing the chants, repeat the phrases, and have absolutely no belief in God, and not even know it. Not even know that their god is money, praise and power.
Simply going to a physical, geographical space or going through external rituals will not give anyone knowledge of God. God is a mystery to our senses. We cannot see him, hear him, touch him. He is a mystery to our reason. We cannot name him, classify him, divide him into parts, control or manipulate him. God is spirit, not a category of the visible, external, material world. He is a completely different category.
We also have to open a special, spiritual path inside ourselves to get to know God.
For a person fixated on their sense experience, God is just the sum of all eternal rituals, buildings, words given credibility by government, society, external authorities, tradition. Isn't it accurate to say of a person who is surrounded by the signs and symbols of God, but who cannot see God, life, light, love, that an endless, deadly night hangs over them?
Monks are supposed to go to monasteries to die to the world. Instead, not a few of the monks seem to die to God. Eternal night. "The eye of the Sun can never flash his rays through the dark and bring them light," as Homer might say.

It's not every day that a normal club runner can line up alongside an Olympic champion – or to be more precise TWO Olympic champions – but that's exactly what happened at this year's Chevin Chase, as local triathlon heroes Alastair and Jonny Brownlee were both on the starting line ready to do battle with the other 930-odd athletes who had turned for this popular race, held every Boxing day and attracting considerable crowds.
The race starts in Guiseley and follows a mixed road/trail route of about 7 miles, climbing over Otley Chevin before a fast descent back to Guiseley – definitely one where the road runners have the advantage. Harrogate Harriers had a terrific turnout with over 33 members determined to shake off the excess turkey and Christmas pudding! Some exceptionally fine running ensued, providing great entertainment for the spectators gathered on The Chevin. The race was won by Alastair Brownlee in a fantastic 37:03 – a new course record – with brother Jonny very close behind in 37:27, Ilkley fell runner Tom Adams put in a superb effort to take third place in 38:08. The ladies race was won by Georgia Malir (Ilkley) in a fast 44.14.
From a Harriers perspective, the performance of the day undoubtedly belonged to Chris Miller, fresh from his victory at the Mytholmroyd Fell Race last weekend he put in a scintillating run to finish in 7th place overall in a fantastic 40:54, a superb time and he could have easily been a place further up the field. Good running also from Jonty Bright, finishing in 44:29 and 27th place overall.
Some excellent running from Dan Atkinson, Rob Garbutt, Nathan Smith, Dave Harrison and Adam Prentis resulted in well-deserved sub-50 minute times, meanwhile the first three Harriers ladies all finished within 20 seconds of each other! Sarah Gill took the honours in 54:25 (3rd LV50), Victoria Tremlin in 54:35 and Helen Price – running a very short race by her usual standards – in a course PB time of 54:41 (3rd LV45).
Well done to all, the club was well represented at this race and you did us proud!

Worked on the deck today in #Hearthstone. Did the daily quest to get 3 wins for the gold and crafted a Nourish card. It was much needed as my Druid deck was always running out of cards late.
Deathwing helped in a battle today. I actually got the card out and in play and then sickeningly buffed him with +1 Attack. Took out a Hunter deck player with my final attack for 13 damage.
Druid has reached level 10. I had to trim some cards I just never used from other class decks. I decided to craft and arcane dust some Paladin commons and some Warlock commons because I wont be playing those class decks anytime soon. Once I got 100 Arcane dust I made a Nourish card. It did come in handy. Drawing 3 cards late in the game is crucial. Especially when I have 10 mana just sitting there.
The Hungry Crab combo of playing a 1 point murloc then killing him to buff the crab is funny and effective.

Thanks for the points you have contributed here. Another thing I would like to state is that computer system memory requirements generally go up along with other advancements in the technology. For instance, whenever new generations of cpus are made in the market, there is certainly usually a corresponding increase in the size and style preferences of both the pc memory and also hard drive room. This is because software program operated by these processors will inevitably rise in power to make new know-how.
One thing I would like to say is the fact that before acquiring more computer system memory, consider the machine into which it will be installed. In the event the machine can be running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory limit is 3.25GB. Using more than this would simply constitute just a waste. Make sure that one's motherboard can handle the particular upgrade quantity, as well. Good blog post.
I've learned new things as a result of your web site. One other thing I'd prefer to say is that often newer computer operating systems tend to allow more memory for use, but they additionally demand more memory simply to run. If a person's computer can't handle much more memory and also the newest software program requires that storage increase, it might be the time to shop for a new PC. Thanks
Thanks for your blog post. The things i would like to make contributions about is that laptop memory is required to be purchased but if your computer is unable to cope with whatever you do by using it.One can put in two RAM memory boards of 1GB each, for instance, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should look for the maker's documentation for one's PC to make certain what type of ram is required.
A few things ihave observed in terms of pc memory is that there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must match up the requirements of the motherboard. If the personal computer's motherboard is reasonably current and there are no operating system issues, changing the storage space literally will take under an hour or so. It's one of the easiest computer system upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

The present investigation provides a longitudinal study of an individual (RB) with acquired alexia following left posterior cerebral artery stroke. At initial testing, RB exhibited acquired alexia characterized by letter-by-letter (LBL) reading, mild anomic aphasia, and acquired agraphia. Repeated measures of reading accuracy and rate were collected for single words and text over the course of one year, along with probes of naming and spelling abilities. Improvements associated with natural recovery (i.e., without treatment) were documented up to the fourth month post onset, when text reading appeared to be relatively stable. Multiple oral reading (MOR) treatment was initiated at 22 weeks post-stroke, and additional improvements in reading rate and accuracy for text were documented that were greater than those expected on the basis of spontaneous recovery alone. Over the course of one year, reading reaction times for single words improved, and the word-length effect that is the hallmark of LBL reading diminished. RB's response to treatment supports the therapeutic value of MOR treatment to in LBL readers. His residual impairment of reading and spelling one-year post stroke raised the question as to whether further progress was impeded by degraded orthographic knowledge.

Trailer Tuesday: Rush
I'm not into cars... at all. A vehicle just has to be reliable and get me from A to B. I'm not thrilled by the speed and power, or impressed by brands. I'm bored with racing games within 10 minutes. And I leave the room whenever a grand prix is on TV. It's all a big fat yawn to me.
This said, I am excited for biographical racing flick Rush. Directed by Ron Howard, Rush centres on the real-life rivalry between champion Formula 1 drivers James Hunt - a hard-living British playboy played by Chris Hemsworth - and Austrian Niki Lauda, portrayed by Daniel Bruhl. Olivia Wilde and Natalie Dormer also star.
Although the International Trailer makes the film look more formulaic than the high-octane Feature Trailer above, Rush certainly seems to offer a few hours of slick, stylish entertainment. Set during the 1970s, the film has an enticing throwback aesthetic, and refreshingly centres on an an exciting (if morbid) era in motorsport when drivers lived hard and raced hard - facing as they did daily the high risk of death. Of course, the sexy young cast doesn't hurt the film's prospects either. Yum.
Rush releases in North America on 20 September. The film is currently set to open in South Africa on 4 October.

Cook Time
Dinner's Ready!
A Quick and Easy Recipe for a Hot and Hearty Dinner
Making dinner for the family is important. From nourishment to enjoyment to quality time spent together, dinner is a daily ritual that brings us happily and healthily closer together. But night after night, week after week, dish after dish, dinner can get difficult. What to make, what to use, what ingredients are available? Sometimes we get caught in a repetitive rut, some days we're pressed for time, and other days we just run out of energy before it's time to get started.
On days like this, I go straight to an easy casserole. This chicken and noodles casserole can be made with just three everyday ingredients and a little water. It's hearty enough to fill up a hungry dad with a rich and creamy flavor even the kids will love! It takes just 30 minutes from start to finish, and whether you serve it alone or with a side of bread and salad, chicken and noodles casserole can be an easy, tasty dinner - and real sanity saver!
- 2-3 cups rotini noodles, uncooked

Examine This Report on motorcycle zippo
To deal with the challenges of motorcycling, in advance of and following a slide, motorcyclists use private protecting equipment (PPE, or maybe more typically "motorcycle gear"). Many developed international locations now call for particular articles of PPE, and manufacturers and governments propose its considerable use.
Packer's Evaluation of the second group, hyperreflective self-disciplinary, acknowledges that seriousness, sobriety, ongoing training, and donning complete safety gear just isn't misguided, but in addition has concerns around its near alignment with the profit motives with the insurance industry, the motorcycle safety gear advertisers, and the public relations wishes of motorcycle manufacturers, along with governmental bureaucratic inertia and mission creep.[16] He sees motorcyclists who make non-utilitarian possibilities balancing danger and reward as getting as respectable as other classes.[sixteen]
When reprinting this push launch to be a news report, USA Now omitted the word "insurance" from the "Insurance Institute for Freeway Safety", giving a Bogus perception the IIHS can be a governmental company, not a private nonprofit Firm.[42]
Due to time of year I haven't experienced an celebration to utilize the headsets to the road. At this time they have been installed and therefore are operational but true road use has not been completed, Put in was straightforward and test of all capabilities inside a non road software function pretty nicely.

In Every single MAIDS circumstance, the clothing worn by the rider was photographed and evaluated.

Long time finisher 30 years plus, mainly pianos now, currently using urethanes mostly, P.P.G., Matrix, Omni, etc. love the finish but would like to try polyester for the hardness factor as my pianos travel long distances in hot semis on their sides, sometimes get pad marks and that is unacceptable! Having trouble finding polyester paint! Any help out there?
try Ilva products from Camger coatings.
Thanks Chris!
I used duratec polyester for 15 years. I'm out of the poly game now, but that stuff was hard as a rock. They have poly sealer for exotic woods as well as poly primers and clears. Super labor intensive to cut and buff though, so keep that in mind. Did high end furniture and shipped all over the world in any climate. Never had a problem. No mistakes though with poly. You do not want to have to strip that stuff!! You can get it through Hawkeye industries I believe. I know ML CAMPBELL is currently developing a poly coating, but it will be a while till that's available. Still in the R&D phase. Good luck!!
MLC's 2K poly is called Polarion. Just shot some today. I certainly haven't gotten it tuned in though. Lots of orange peel. Pricing is pretty good. Comparable to Stealth. The catalyst is pretty expensive though.
Polarion is a 2k polyurethane, not a polyester. I work for a MLC distributor and just got done spending 2 months playing with it for testing. MLC is developing a true polyester, but won't be avail for quite a while. Polarion is good stuff though. I like it.
Milesi High performance European Wood Coatings have an excellent Polyester. www.milesi.us.
Thank you everyone for all of your input.
Mason & Hamlin pianos are shot with Ilva which they get from Camger Coatings. The black colorant is a custom blend of colors, if you use la/p black then your pianos will look gray in comparison.

film version of Life of Pi comes out this week, and I am very much looking forward to it. The book is one of my favourites, but it is not without its detractors.
If you would like to review the book before seeing the movie without re-reading the entire thing, check out 25 Points: Life of Pi at HTMLGiant. My fave: "Confidence is one thing but this—this is just bullshit."
Now for the film adaptation of Beatrice & Virgil.
