|Introduction: Food and nutrition are important determinants of non-communicable diseases such as childhood obesity. Understanding how to prevent this major public health problem remains a research question and the design of potentially effective interventions is hampered by the general lack of good-quality data. There is no validated method available to assess food and nutrition intake in school age Portuguese children. A new engaging method for assessing food and nutrition intake of school age Portuguese children (7-10 years old) is currently being developed, based on a self-administered computerized 24-Hour Recall questionnaire. The purpose of this study was to select and identify questionnaire food items through a qualitative approach. Methods: 21 Focus Group were conducted in seven primary schools from the seven geographic regions of Portugal. The focus group were homogeneous for age (7 years, n=70; 8 years, n= 61; 9 years; n=73) and area of residence but heterogeneous for sex, social-economic and nutritional status. Children participated in focus group after parent's written informed consent and school authorization. The focus group were moderated by Nutritionists and/or Psychologists. Topics for discussion were: (a) food consumption on the previous day; (b) problems regarding to the reporting consumption on the previous day; (c) comprehension of some food items; (d) food preferences. Focus group were audio-recorded and transcribed. The content analysis followed a thematic coding process. Results: Main meals, such as breakfast, lunch and dinner were generally easier to remember than secondary meals such as snacks. Children tended to underreport the consumption of candies (either due to social desirability or to recall bias) and seem to remind better the consumption of this type of foods when there was a recall link between previous-day activities and food exposure/consumption. Overall, 4172 food items were identified and grouped into the following groups: 1) Grains (1147), 2) Diary (631), 3) Meat/seafood/eggs (578), 4) Drinks (451), 5) Vegetables (383), 6) Fruits (308), 7) Fats (150), 8) Beans and peas (25) and 9) Others (499). Regarding to drinks, 61.4% of the items correspond to soft drinks. Conclusion: This study proved the utility of the focus group methodology to obtain qualitative data about dietary intakes of children in the immediate past (24 hours). The identified items included both items that were part of previous checklists from other countries and many new items that are local-context specific. This pool of items will be used for building up the self-administered computerized 24-Hour Recall questionnaire.

Britain builds wall to stop migrants - in France
Apparently making another country pay for a wall is not that hard. It's just about motivation.
Britain has started to increase security in the northern French port city of Calais, where shortly the Brits will begin the construction of a wall to protect the area around the port and road system towards the English Channel, says the British Home Secretary, Robert Goodwill.
- We have made a fence. Now we'll make a wall, the minister said in a hearing in the British Parliament.
The new four-meter high wall, which is designed to prevent undocumented and possibly (likely) criminal migrants from sneaking into the United Kingdom, is part of a 17 million pound agreement between Britain and France. The agreement came about earlier this year.
- The security we introduce into these ports is slowly becoming better with new equipment, says Robert Goodwill.
The wall is to be built on both sides of a kilometer long section of road that leads to the port area of Calais.
The Calais refugee camp is nicknamed 'The Jungle' and is known for hosting thousands of migrants, up to 10,000 the latest figures show. According to the authorities, the camp consists of especially Afghans, Somalis, Sudanese and Kurds. Many of them are trying to get on to Britain by sneaking aboard lorries driving through the tunnel under the English Channel. Some also take a trip over the water with ferries by sneaking aboard. Most of the residents of "the Jungle" do not want to register in France because they want to go to Britain, where the welfare benefits are better.

My GP just phoned me with my results. I am on T4 125mg and T3 10mg per day, and TSH is suppressed - cue annual 'you must reduce your dose' instruction. I had a long chat with GP a couple of weeks ago and said that I needed my Free T3 tested, and that as I am taking T3 (T4 is in range) that this might result in suppressed TSH. She agreed to test free T3 and said I knew more about it than her. She said she would consult an endocrinologist who she had a lot of respect for. I have not seen the actual result yet but apparently the Free T3 came back in range and the Endo is happy for me to continue on my current dose!!!
He suggested the bone density tests so I have several Xrays to look forward to.
Thanks for all the advice on this forum, which has helped me take control of this situation and a positive outcome. The advice to doctors is that if the TSH is suppressed and the patient's T4 is anywhere in range then it is other factors causing the symptoms. Clearly this advice is not correct for everyone.
I had reduced my T4 a bit but am going back onto the original dose, what a relief as I am too busy to risk even more tiredness and brain fog.

Here is a list of the most frequent questions that we're asked.
Our prices are in CANADIAN DOLLARS which is good news for those of you from other countries. The Canadian dollar is quite weak right now against nearly all currencies around the world so take advantage of it while you can.
Many skiers join us for 2 to 4 weeks and many other skiers join us for for 2, 3 or 4 months. Some skiers only have one week available to join us which is also great, however pretty much every skier here for one week says on their final Friday evening that they wished they had booked for longer (and many extend). The longer you are with us, the more you're improving and transforming into a strong and stylish skier..!
A week, a month, a full season - we'll make sure you have a completely amazing experience no matter how many weeks you're with us!
Any level of skiing is fine to join us. From beginner to expert skiers and every level in between..!
Please see our SKI LEVEL CHART to check your level - and let us know where you are.
Level 1 to 3 skiers will be in our Beginner and Novice Ski Camps
Level 4 to 6 skiers can be in our Freeski Camps
We have two types of accommodations: Our Core Camp rider houses and home stay.
The rider houses are comfortable houses within the town of Whistler. They are all fully furnished, fully equipped kitchens, WIFI, TV, all bedding and a great camp vibe while you live with like-minded riders. The rider houses are based on two riders per room. Riders are responsible for their own meals at the Core houses. The houses range from a 300m walk to a short bus ride to the center of town, the lifts and our campus.
The home stay accommodations are private rooms within the homes of cool, local Whistler families. It's a great Canadian experience. A room and 3 meals per day are included with home stay. Home stay is an extra $210/week.
*Home stay is the accommodation we provide for under 18 yr old campers or for any camper who would like to request a private room.
Skiers from 15 to 50+ are more than welcome at Core Camps. 95% of our campers are between the ages of 17 - 40. The mix of ages makes the camps very interesting and a lot more fun. Whether you're in the middle of a fresh powder run with your group or learning new tricks on a jump day, honestly, age is the last thing on our minds.
The relationship side of camp - Some guys and girls who met at camp end up either dating in Whistler, dating back home, getting married and also having kids. We seem to be an unofficial match making service... At least six couples who originally met at camp have gotten married!
Yes. If you already have an Epic Season Pass or Whistler Season Pass, we can subtract the lift pass or season pass off your Premier Camp. No problem.
A typical day at the camp goes something like this:
8 ~ 8:30am: Meet at our campus at the base of the gondolas in Whistler Village. Grab your gear form our heated storage room, gear up, and all walk to the gondola (100 meters).
9am ~ Noon: Morning Freeski Camp groups - Skiing with coaches, improving, skiing powder, jumping, spinning, steeps, carving, on-piste, off-piste, more powder and having an amazing time everyday..!
Noon ~ 12:30pm: On-mountain lunch (buy it or bring your own)
12:30pm ~ 3:30pm: Afternoon Freeski Camp groups (different from morning groups)
4 ~ 5pm: Waxing & Edging clinic every Tuesday - Video Analysis every Wednesday
5pm onwards: Free time, group outings, group dinners, trampoline nights, hot-tubbing, apres, movie nights, ice skating, shopping, or just relax. Welcome Night every Monday - Grad Night every Friday
7am: wake up and do it all again...YEAH!
Included in our Premier Package Camp, we arrange for you door-to-door service with a very professional private bus service. Shortly after you send us your flight details, we'll email you your simple and detailed pick up info. A bus company staff member will be waiting for you at the international (or domestic) arrivals lounge of Vancouver International Airport (YVR). You will have their phone number too. Buses leave roughly every 1.5 hours from early morning to 11pm. Please book your flights to arrive before 11pm and to depart after 7am. We'll send you more details after you've registered.
Staying in Vancouver before or after your camp? We can easily arrange your bus to pick you up and/or drop you off at one of several major downtown Vancouver hotels.
If you're in our Custom package camp, bus transfers are not included although we're happy to send you the links to a couple of good local bus companies.
Guaranteed! And probably in more ways that you would think possible. We take you to the next level of your skiing and then some – it's what we do! When you add up the unique and endless types of terrain here with lots of powder days, expert coaching, instant and continuous feedback, our intimate mountain knowledge, video reviews, a stoked crew of new friends to ski with, everyone pushing each other to be their best etc…this equals total improvement to your skiing!
1 week camp - Your 5 day lift pass starts Monday (with an option to add days)
2 week camp - Your 12 of 14 day lift pass starts on Sunday (with an option to add days)
3+ week camp - Your included season pass can be use all season before, during and after your camp
You can join the camps from 15 years old and up. Most skiers who join us are in their late teens to late thirties. We're happy to have skiers with us from 15 to 99 years young..! The mix of ages in camp actually is quite a positive aspect of camp. Everyone gets along really well, campers help each other out and we keep the social part of camp an all ages atmosphere.
You'll be skiing with others and a coach in small groups (or a similar level) averaging 4:1. This ensures lots of personal coaching. You will ski in a group of a similar level.
Everywhere. If you haven't skied Whistler-Blackcomb before, you will be amazed by the variety of terrain that the biggest resort in North America has. If you have skied here before, get ready to re-discover the mountains. We ski the best spots - powder, trees, cruisers, parks, pipes, hit runs, glades, controlled backcountry etc. Where we ski depends on the weather and snow conditions of the day. Get ready to be spoiled!
Yes, you can arrive in Whistler any day of the week, although you'll need to make your own accommodation arrangements until Saturday. Your Camp accommodation will begin on Saturday (or Sunday if you're arriving then) and on-mountain camp is every Monday to Friday.
On request, we can send you a list of Whistler hostels, lodges, B&B's, hotels and their contact details. We can also arrange your door-to-door airport transfer to drop you off at any Whistler location if you're arriving mid week.
If you are visiting from another country then yes, you will simply need a valid passport to come to Canada.
For almost all countries, obtaining special visas is not necessary. Canadian Immigration issues six month visitor visas when you arrive.
To check about your country please check here- details
Yes, you are required to have travel (medical) insurance to join the camps.
We also HIGHLY recommend that all Core Camp skiers purchase Trip Interruption / Cancellation Insurance. This will cover the cost of your camp in case you need to unexpectedly cancel or if a medical emergency interrupts your camp. It's easy to purchase and very good peace of mind.
Please follow one of these links for a quote:World Nomads or Lifestyle Financial Insurance
It's a very good idea to do some training before you come. We recommend you do a mix of cardio and core training before you start riding with us.
A regular workout for your core muscles, lower body and basic stretching will help you a lot. Whistler's runs are quite long so it's also good to go skiing for a day or two before you're here (or on your first Sunday here) to get your legs ready.
90% campers come to the camp on their own. Once you arrive in Whistler, you'll be met by all of the other campers and be warmly welcomed into the camp family. From then on you'll be living with and hanging out with other like-minded skiers from all around the world. *A big part of camp is making relationships and new friends form around the world! If you'd like to come camp with a friend or partner, that's cool too. Just let us know if you'd like to be in the same room and we'll make it happen.
It breaks down something like this: North America 25%, Europe 40%, Australia~NZ 20%, South America 10%, Asia 5%
Yes, helmets are mandatory. If you have a helmet, please bring it and wear it. You can also rent good ones in town.
No. Skiers of all ages join us and the mix of ages makes it a lot more fun. Most campers are in their 20s and 30s as well as some in their teens and 40s. Since we're all at camp together because of our love of skiing, age is the last thing we're thinking about while we're all having fun on and off the mountains.
No. We match the ages in our rider houses to create a good balance. Since skiers are always tired from each big day of skiing, everyone is usually in bed by 10pm, getting rest for another epic day ahead. Celebrating is usually done in the town on a Friday or Saturday night.
If you'd like to do full day camp then go for it! We sometimes recommend to do half day camp for your first week and then full day camp from your second week onwards so your legs/muscles can adjust.
Freeski Camp covers the whole mountains. We do a mix of absolutely everything, improve everywhere and we always ski the best runs (known and secret) depending on each day's new snow and weather . We rarely ski in the terrain parks in the mornings – we leave the parks for the afternoon freestyle camps.
Freestyle Camp is a mix of in-park and all-mountain freestyle skiing. We do not spend 100% of the time in the parks – there is endless natural freestyle terrain all over the mountains and we know every jump around every corner.
Each camp is very unique and full of non-stop action.
It depends on what your tastes are and what your budget is. On average, $30-$40 per day should have you more than covered. You can easily stay under that amount if you cook at home and/or visit the cheaper restaurants. You can also go over that amount easily if you want to live it up each day. We can recommend several cheap, mid or fancy restaurants depending on your budget and taste. The pizza shop beside our campus is only $2.50 per slice!
There is no single "best month" for snow in Whistler. We consistently have 4 to 5 solid months of good snow right from the beginning of December to the end of March. We can get powder days until mid April. There is no particular powder month or sunny month either – they're all powder months. Here are the monthly snowfall stats from the last 10 years to give you a better idea - Monthly snowfall stats
Yes and yes. Whistler is a very compact town and everything's quite close. There are supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance of our Rider Houses. Our Rider Houses' kitchens are fully supplied for all of your cooking needs. There is a plethora of restaurants in town ranging from $2/slice pizza shops (ride beside our campus) to the ridiculous and every type in between. We can recommend all sorts (and the hidden gems) when you're here.
YES, you can us join if you are a beginner (0~2 days of riding) or novice skier (2~12 days or skiing). We have some great Beginner and Novice Camp packages for you!
We'll help you build your strong foundation of skills with our fun and patient coaches and make you fall in love with skiing right away!
Here are our full camp details - Beginner and Novice Ski Camps
Your camp accommodation starts on a Saturday and finishes on a Saturday. So you should plan your arrival and departure on Saturdays.
Your on-mountain camp with your coach is every Monday to Friday. On your first Sunday you can either rest from your long journey the day before, check out the town/do some shopping OR add a day to your lift pass and go skiing with some of the other campers.
Ok, no one has actually asked that question, but some of you have possibly wondered it.
Picture this – everyone with us is on vacation and doing what they love to do; skiing, so everyone's always in good mood and at their happiest. Camp brings out the best in everyone.
We had three "turkeys" over the past 14 years - everybody else has been freakin' cool. Your house mates will be awesome, your new best friends, your new holiday romance etc. So no need to worry or wonder. We're the cool camp!
Just kidding – no one's ever asked those questions. We don't have Gorbie Gaps and we're definitely not Twinkies... We'll explain those and other local lingo to you when you arrive. 100 Core points if you know what they mean before you arrive…!
Yes, with our home stay accommodation option. Home stay includes a room and 3 meals per days while living with a friendly, local Whistler family. See below for more details.
Home stay includes a room and 3 meals per days while living with a friendly, local Whistler family. We work with several wonderful local families in Whistler. Their homes range from walking distance to a short bus ride away from the village. The host family and location we choose for you depends on availability for your week(s) here. It's a nice Canadian experience and a great way to meet some locals. Home stay is an upgrade of $210/week.
Yes, you can bring your own lunch up in a backpack and we'll show you where to hang it up. You're allowed to eat your own lunch in the main on-mountains
restaurants too. There is also free water at each restaurant and even microwaves to use.
Yes, please watch the movie GNAR (pronounced – nar) for some great comedy and so you can 'call out' your coach on the mountains. We dabble in the game of G.N.A.R. when we ski.
Also watch a few Arnold movies or look up some of his quotes. We like to do Schwarzenegger impressions… 'Get to da choppa..!'

World Breastfeeding week is going to be celebrated between 1 August to 7 August this year.
This is done to create awareness about breast-feeding among mothers and the theme of this year is Sustaining breastfeeding together.
World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action organizes this to put together the efforts of all breastfeeding advocates, government, and the public in more than 170 countries.
Objective :
The objectives of World Breastfeeding week (WBA) are the anchor, inform, engage, and galvanize.
The anchor means to recognize your role and the difference you make within your area of work while inform means to understand the importance of working together across the 4 Thematic Areas.
Engage talks about reaching out to others to establish areas of common interest. Galvanize says about working together to achieve the SGDs by 2030.
They celebrate this in more than 170 countries. The motto is to create awareness about breastfeeding among mothers. WHO, UNICEF, SIDA, ABM and many other organizations support this.
The idea of WBW was born in the basement of UNICEF office on 14 Feb 1991 when meeting of WABA, Anwar Fazal proposed the idea of celebrating Breastfeeding Day.
After discussions with Janet Nelson and her team at UNICEF, they agreed that a full week would be more practical and effective.
This is how World Breastfeeding Week came.
The first World Breastfeeding Week campaign on the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) was launched on 1 August 1992 to commemorate the adoption of the Innocenti Declaration. From 1992 to 1995, each year's WBW theme focused on one aspect of the innocent targets to ensure their implementation.
(Source: Google)
About 70 countries participated in the first WBW by organizing seminars, public forums, radio talk show, involving government officials and popular personalities in breastfeeding publicity events, joining the LLLI's worldwide walk, etc.
By the second year, more than 120 countries had recorded their involvement in the WBW, that has been used as an excellent example of successful social mobilization.
Importance :
- Since time immemorial the human species feeds on mother's milk, as the normal continuum from pregnancy, through birthing.
- Breastfeeding is the bond that sustains the mother baby relationship and provides the perfect nutrition, immunological protection and optimal physical and neurological development for the first years of life.
(Source: Google)
- Breastfeeding not only helps the child but also the mother since it is an integral part of the reproductive cycle.
- Continued breastfeeding until the age of two years or more brings the reproductive cycle full circle.
- Studies have shown that there are many women for whom contraception is unavailable, unaffordable or unacceptable.
(Source: Google)
For these women, breastfeeding (according to the LAM criteria below) is the primary means of delaying pregnancy and spacing births.
Moreover, breastfeeding develops emotional and psychological well-being in mothers and has numerous health advantage.
- It even reduces the risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and Osteoporosis and many other.
(Source: Google)
- It also reduces the frequency and severity of anemia by delaying the return of monthly periods and helping the mother build her iron reserves.
(Source: Google)
Before birth, the uterus protects the baby against most of the germs to which the mother is exposed.
After birth, the mother's breast milk continues to protect against many of the viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Substances in the breast milk not only prevent diseases but also strengthen the development of the baby's immature immune system.
(Source: Google)
This results in better health, even years after breastfeeding has ended.
For these and other reasons, based on scientific evidence, the World Health Assembly has adopted as a public health recommendation.
Babies should feed exclusively on breast milk for six months and continue breastfeeding at least until two years of age.
Themes of the Breastfeeding Week:
- 1992: "Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI)"
- 1993: "Mother Friendly Work Place Initiative (MFWI)"
- 1994: "Protect Breast feeding: Making the code work"
- 1995: "Breast feeding: Empowering Women"
- 1996: "Breast feeding: A Community Responsibility"
- 1997: "Breast feeding: Nature's Way"
- 1998: "Breast feeding: The Best Investment"
- 1999: "Breast feeding: Education For Life"
- 2000: "Breast feeding: It's Your Right
- 2001: "Breast feeding: In The Information Age"
- 2002: "Breast feeding: Healthy Mothers And Health Babies"
- 2003: "Breast feeding: In a Globalised World For Peace & Justice"
- 2004: "Breast feeding: Exclusive Breastfeeding-The Gold Standard, Safe, Sound, Sustainable"
- 2005: "Breast feeding: And Family Foods: Loving A Healthy-Feeding Other Foods While Breast and feeding Is Continued"
- 2006: " Code Watch – 25 Years of Protecting breast Feeding"
- 2007: " Breast-Feeding: The 1st Hour – Save ONE
- 2008: " Mother Support: Going For The Gold Everyone Wins"
- 2009: " Breast Feeding: A Vital Emergency Response"
- 2010: " Breast Feeding, Just 10 Steps: The Baby – Friendly Way"
- 2011: " Talk To Me breastfeeding – A 3D Experience"

Lastly, we would say that Breastfeeding is important for your child.
Try to provide it for at least a year. It will benefit both mother and child.

text: This was a very entertaining read with a few flaws. Unfortunately, the series lost a lot of its novelty and originality in the second book. Also, we didn't learn very much information about what was going on. I feel like a lot of the plot was sacrificed for the relationship drama. Despite all that, I still enjoyed the characters, setting and dialogue. I really like Kami and Jared's unconventional relationship. I liked the insight into Jared's character with his POV chapters. I'm also very interested to see how Rusty will develop. A solid 4 stars.

Michael was born into a Massachusetts commercial sword fishing family. He started working on fishing boats at the age of 12 harpooning on the Georges Banks off New England and long-lining on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. After college he joined the US Coast Guard and went to Boatswains Mate Class 'A' School. Michael was a coxswain and a rescue swimmer at Search & Rescue Stations. Michael became a yacht captain in 1990 and since has cruised extensively throughout New England, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and S.E. Asia. He holds a USCG 3000 ton Ocean Master's License with endorsements from the Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, and St Vincent & the Grenadines. Michael routinely updates his certifications including Advanced First Aid, Advanced Ship-board Firefighting, Celestial Navigation, Advanced Radar Observer with ARPA, Global Marine Distress and Safety Systems.

Growing up in Palm Beach, Florida, Jake has never been far from the ocean. Jake developed a love for diving, free diving, and spearfishing. He is the go to guy on Carte Blanche for catching lunch, our own underwater assassin! Jake discovered yachting while volunteering for the Florida charity, Freedom Waters Foundation. With Freedom Waters, he took children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses out for fun and relaxing trips on the water, using boats that were donated by local yacht owners. When Jake isn't on the water he is on the ice, playing hockey in a recreational league. He is a hardworking individual with a team first mentality and he is excited to share his love of the water with you and to make your experience aboard M/Y Carte Blanche as fun as possible

|Good news for people who love bad news is a eclectic array of songs drenched in experimentation and improvisation. It's delightfully weird and strange, the music takes center stage from the vocals which still grab your attention every now and then, this feels more of an instrumental album, and even though I am usually not thrilled with instrumental albums, It is too interesting and original to be redundant and stale, so I really enjoyed this album, I think the more I listen to it, I am going to love it.

I've just finished writing my third booklet, Less Stress, More Success, and am now moving into times of travel and teaching. It's been a month since I last wrote a blog, having focused on the series of three booklets (also The Healing Power of Action, and The Healing Power of Meditation), and recording an mp3 in English and one in French of seven meditations and two mantras (available at www.cdbaby.com/artist/swamiparameshwarananda).
In writing this booklet, and leading a workshop about stress and success in Boulder (one coming up in Denver on November 6th), I'd like to offer a few tidbits here for you to read and reflect about, posting your thoughts on the blog if you choose (which I'd love).
We tend to concentrate on the stress we're feeling, identifying with it, creating stories and drama, worrying, tightening up even more as we pay more and more attention to it. Even in writing and teaching about "stress reduction," we're focusing on the stress – I use that term however because it's well known and attractive to audiences. As I wrote the booklet, and included many practices that reduce stress, I realized that stress dissolves when we're still, in the heart, loving, aligned with our Self and what's important to us in life, with our inner power. I call this "success", and that's where we're to let the Law of Attention do its work. What is success for each of us? How can we focus there, and allow the stress to disappear through that focus?
Here's what I write at the beginning of the booklet:
"I'm now going to offer you ways to reduce your stress and increase your success in life. I repeat and highlight an important consideration for you to remember as you move forward: Although you might be feeling stress, the point is not to focus on the stress itself but on actions (inner, outer) that create increased alignment, power, and expansion, thereby leading you to achieve the indicators of success mentioned above and any others added by you.
I rephrase and reinforce the above consideration by reversing the words in the title of this book to: More Success, Less Stress. The more you succeed (including in your inner/outer actions, empowerment, and energy), the less stress because the stress dissolves, is transformed, in your success. At the same time, it's also true that the less stress you have, the more you're able to take actions that lead to your success. I invite you to use whichever order of these four words you like, including both.
As you will see in the following practices, your focus is to be on your breath, inner stillness, essence, Self, lightness and light, new life possibilities. You're to communicate effectively with others, manage your time and life priorities, take care of your body. You acknowledge, accept, and welcome your stress, which allows you to more easily change your focus and use these practices in your everyday life."
Using me as a case study, when I focused in the last several months on who I really am, what I offer to the world, realizing what I love about my offer, and appreciating what I have to offer, I moved into alignment again (see the last blog about the ins and outs of alignment). I'm no longer separate from myself (my Self), which I never was in truth. My energy has shifted, the Shakti is flowing, and as a consequence, I'm acting and creating with power and passion. I had wasted time focusing on the stress, the worries, the discomfort of non-alignment, and then through some coaching and practice, the power of the realignment took over. This transition took place by moving from my mind to my heart, by getting in touch with my soul, by expressing myself with others, reinforcing and embodying my offer through conversation. I got clear about my offer, the goals I want to achieve and associated results with time frames. Because I'm feeling what I love, and have clarity about what that looks like in my life, I'm taking action to manifest it, continuing with my practices (breathing, meditation, self-expression, conversation) to keep in alignment, and coming back quickly into alignment when I'm out. I can honestly tell you there's much less non-alignment due to the actions themselves that I'm taking.
I finish with more from what I just wrote, about action, alignment, and energy:
"We succeed and reduce our stress through action. As I wrote in The Healing Power of Action, just acting reduces our stress and heals us. Everything we do is action: we take action within ourselves (our thoughts and feelings), and in the world (our behavior and interactions). By being conscious about our inner and outer actions and their consequences, we affect the amount of stress we produce within ourselves, and therefore the effects the stress has on our success in life. Vice versa, our actions affect our success and thereby the amount of stress we create and experience.
We influence our success and stress through empowerment. We empower ourselves when we shift how we see ourselves (e.g., acknowledging what makes us whole, all our dimensions), and how we see our world (the possibilities inherent in our circumstances). We're empowered when we know there's nothing wrong with us, we have everything inside of us, and we align with and realize our inner power as love, as light. We take ownership and responsibility to create our life, and our mental, emotional, and physical health.
The levels of our success and stress transform through our energy. When we become aware of our energy (everything is energy, including our thoughts, emotions, words, all our actions), we can release energy that doesn't serve us, expand our energy, use energy to transform ourselves and our stress, and to live in a higher frequency, as light in our daily life. Stress is based in fear and is low frequency, while living from our heart and loving is high frequency."

EC-17-033 was drilled to test for the continuity of mineralisation within the area of defined mineralisation, between previous holes EC-17-017 and 026, and helps define and confirm mineralisation in this area. Highlights include the following intercepts all of which are also shown on the attached plan and section:
|Hole EC-17-033 NORTE ZONE, 315 Az, -70 dip
|From 240.00 to 513.50, 273.50 meters @ 0.59 g/t gold and 0.21% copper (0.88 g/t AuEq; 0.64% CuEq)
|Including 244.00 to 450.70, 206.70 meters @ 0.74 g/t gold and 0.26% copper (1.10 g/t AuEq; 0.80% CuEq)
And 246.00 to 397.00, 151.00 meters @ 0.88 g/t gold and 0.30% copper (1.30 g/t AuEq; 0.95% CuEq)
|1 Gold equivalent ("AuEq") and copper equivalent ("CuEq") values are calculated assuming 100% recoveries and prices of US$1,250/oz gold and US$2.50/lb copper.
J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, "We are pleased to once again demonstrate continuity in this part of the defined mineralised envelope. The Norte Zone is one of several defined porphyry targets on the property which we plan to aggressively explore and, in the case of Norte, drill in detail with the goal of defining a resource."

Homily for Saturday, March 21, 2015 || Thanksgiving for the Resurrection and Celebration of the Life of Katherine "Kitty" (Ohl) Whitley|| Isaiah 61: 1-3; Psalm 46; II Corinthians 4:16 – 5:9; John 6: 37-40 || The Rev. Margot D. Critchfield
None of you will be surprised to hear that Kitty planned this memorial service– from the opening anthem to the final blessing– with great forethought, care, and deliberateness. I think we all know Kitty was like that. She did everything with such thoughtfulness, such consideration and reflection! Kitty was a stickler for detail, and it was terribly important to her that this service be deeply reverent and dignified…which is, it seems to me, such a perfect reflection of Kitty.
The night before she died, as four of us gathered at the hospital to pray for Kitty, I shared with the other women there that the word "dignity" was the one that kept coming to mind whenever I thought about Kitty, and it really struck me because it's not a word I actually remember using to describe anyone before.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines dignity as, "the quality of being worthy of honor or respect." To be dignified, according to the OED, is to "have or show a composed or serious manner that is worthy of respect." That, for me, is Kitty.
This is not to say Kitty didn't have a good sense of humor, because she certainly did. But Kitty was dignified. Kitty had a very humble and composed, yet totally distinctive dignity about her that is very rare in this day and age.
Kitty was polite to a fault (she stubbornly insisted on writing thank you notes long after we all implored her to stop), she was decent to the core (did you ever hear Kitty say anything negative about anyone?) and she was as private and reserved as any New Englander you'll ever find anywhere. But what's more, Kitty was a deeply compassionate human being, a true and trustworthy friend, and a committed Christian. Kitty was a woman of dignity.
She was a woman of dignity who always treated others with dignity, no matter who they were or what the circumstance. She was steadfast in her concern for the hungry, the homeless, and all those who are most vulnerable in our world. At St. Stephen's this led to her involvement in a multitude of our Outreach ministries. When we were planning this service, Kitty was clear that she wanted any memorial donations made in her name to be set aside specifically for Outreach. But St. Stephen's was only one venue among many for Kitty's big-hearted compassion for others.
Kitty took seriously the words she chose for today from the prophet Isaiah about bringing good news to the oppressed, binding up the brokenhearted, proclaiming liberty to captives and release to those imprisoned. She took seriously the prophet Micah's clarion call to "do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with [y]our God."
Kitty took Micah's words so seriously that she literally walked humbly with her God year after year in the Good Friday walk sponsored by Sharing, Inc. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, the Good Friday walk is a fundraiser for children in the rural south whose lives have been thwarted by racism and poverty, and this mission was so important to Kitty that she continued to walk even when her disease prevented her from completing the full 20 miles. (In fact, I have it on good authority that the last time Kitty did the Good Friday walk, her somewhat less athletically inclined, but otherwise healthy companion, was rather humbled that she ran out of steam before Kitty did.)
Kitty was also a woman of faith. Deep faith. Steadfast faith. It is not by happenstance that she chose for today's psalm one that begins with the words, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble," or that repeats three times, "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold." God was Kitty's refuge and her strength, especially these last three years. That she far outlived her original prognosis she credited to all of you and your prayers. That there is such a thing as Resurrection life, she never doubted. She wasn't really sure what it would be like, but that didn't seem to bother her too much; it was the fact of the Resurrection that mattered. And Kitty had absolute confidence in that fact.
Kitty had confidence, as St. Paul wrote that, "if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." She had confidence that "He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee." And Kitty did not lose heart.
Now Kitty is alive in Christ. Now Kitty knows that "eternal weight of glory beyond all measure" spoken of by St. Paul. Now Kitty knows the joy of new life.
May we who have had the privilege of knowing Kitty honor her life with our lives– by treating all of God's people with dignity and compassion, and by doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God. Amen.

Описание: At the same time networks are growing exponentially, they are becoming complex and
mission critical, bringing new challenges to those who run and manage them. The need
for integrated network infrastructure comprising voice, video, and data (all-in-one)
services is evident, but these rapidly growing technologies introduce fresh security
concerns. Therefore, as network managers struggle to include the latest technology in their
network infrastructure, network security has become a pivotal function in building and
maintaining today's modern high-growth networks.
This chapter presents a broad description of network security in the context of today's
rapidly changing network environments. The security paradigm is changing, and security
solutions today are solution driven and designed to meet the business requirements of
business. To help you face the complexities of managing a modern network, this chapter
discusses the core principles of security—the CIA triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, and
In addition to discussing CIA, this chapter discusses security policies that are the heart of
all network security implementations. The discussion covers the following aspects of
security policies: standards, procedures, baselines, guidelines, and various security
The chapter takes a closer look at the perimeter security issue and the multilayered
perimeter approach. Last, the chapter concludes with Cisco's security wheel paradigm

Wheel Chairs Overview.
A wheelchair with wheels that is used by people who cannot walk because they are disabled, sick, or injured or alternatively a chair mounted on wheels for use by persons who cannot walk.
The device comes in variations allowing either manual propulsion by the seated occupant turning the rear wheels by hand, or electric propulsion by motors. There are often handles behind the seat to allow it to be pushed by another person.
A basic manual wheelchair incorporates a seat, foot rests and four wheels: two caster wheels at the front and two large wheels at the back. The two larger wheels in the back usually have handrims; two metal or plastic circles approximately 3/4″ thick. The handrims have a diameter normally only slightly smaller than the wheels they are attached to. Most wheelchairs have two push handles at the top of the back to allow for manual propulsion by a second person.

How to Build a Wheelchair Ramp?
Wheelchair ramps allow people with disabilities gain access to private and public facilities. In most countries, public buildings are required to have wheelchair access. The wheelchair ramps can be portable, permanent, or semi-permanent. Keep in mind that building a permanent ramp will require engineering and carpentry skills. It might also require you to get building permits. On the other hand, you can easily build a portable ramp. So the next question you might be asking is "how to build a wheelchair ramp?"
When you learn how to build a wheelchair ramp, you make your build more accessible to people with disabilities. And the good news is that you can easily construct one as long as you have the materials and tools for the job.
Planning Stage
Before anything else, the first step on how to build a wheelchair ramp is to create a plan. Determine whether the ramp you are going to construct is permanent or temporary. A permanent ramp will require several professional services, as well as getting a building permit for the project. On the other hand, a temporary wheelchair ramp is easier to build.
And if by chance you need to get a building permit, it is recommended that you draw a plan that shows the property line, perimeter of the home, and where the ramp will be constructed. You should indicate the length, width, and height of the ramp, as well as its distance from the street or sidewalk.
Building Process
The next step on how to build a wheelchair ramp is the actual building process. It is recommended to use treated lumber only to ensure the safety of the user, as well as the durability of the ramp. You should also consider building the ramp with screws, not nails. The latter can come undone over time, and can become a safety hazard.
Posts are needed in order to keep the wheelchair ramp stable, as well as secure it in place. For permanent ramps, you need to use 4 x 4 woods. They should not be spaced more than eight feet away from each other.
The wheelchair ramp must also have some anti-slip surface. For concrete ramps, you can make an anti-slip surface by brushing the surface with a broom while it is still drying. For wooden wheelchair ramps, you can use strips of roofing, a coating of polyurethane mixed with sand, or grit tape.
These are some of the tips on how to build a wheelchair ramp. If you want to learn more about wheelchair ramps and lifts, browse through this website. You will learn more about the various types of lifts and ramps, how to use them, and a lot more. Don't hesitate to contact us if you got something you want to know about wheelchair ramps and lifts.read more

I have just returned from a two week family holiday to Croatia, and whilst there I took a walk through the Paklenica National Park – hiking with just my thoughts and my camera in a beautiful setting is my idea of a good morning. I had no fixed intention, I shot what I wanted, operating solely as a tourist and not as a photography student. However, two things were undoubtedly in my mind: my current assignment on viewpoints, and a book I was reading called "The Tourist Gaze 3.0" (1).
As I walked I found myself drawn to shade and to water – trickling streams, waterfalls, and areas of woodland. I started wondering whether there is a component of need in our conception of beauty: up a mountain on a hot day I was instinctively drawn to shade and hydration. This ties with the idea that photography is about "capturing" and commoditising what we see; my desire to photograph these spots was really a desire for what they represented.
Another thing I pondered was my status as a tourist. I was there to view nature, but I was fully aware that this was not a truly "natural" landscape. Quite apart from the gravelled footpaths, information boards, and the very postmodernist concept of the "interpretation centre", I was also informed on one such board that the trees I was admiring were planted in the 1960s! This was a landscape shaped by tourism for tourists. yet this didn't lessen my enjoyment of the experience. I thought back to my final assignment for I&P, photographing woodland paths (which were a focus of much of this walk as well) – when I walk in this way I am physically inhabiting the space but my mind is inhabiting a different space, one which is triggered by the landscape around me but is in fact made up of a wealth of experiences, imagined and real. This wasn't a tourist experience for me as such; it wasn't about "I woz here", or about sharing in any socially desirable experience, it was about "me time". Yet my conception of the places I want to spend my time is very much shaped by society and culture and tourism plays a large part of that.
Towards the end of my walk I noticed a sign for an "historic viewpoint"; in light of my current assignment this was too tempting to miss. A 20 minute hike up sheer screed in the midday sun was repaid by wide ranging vistas (sadly no bench to mirror my assignment images!). The sense of what constitutes a viewpoint in Croatia is no different to the UK, though the fundamentals of the landscape differ. It is the ability to gaze; to survey one's landscape in a way that allows appreciation of the vastness of the land whilst simultaneously having a sense of being in control of all one sees.
One other interesting thing emerged whilst on my holidays. For the first time we gave my 4 year old son his own camera. A couple of nights in he asked to take it out to take pictures of the "beautiful sunset". Off he went, and on showing me his images he said "mummy, I took them for you because I thought you would love pictures of the beautiful sunset". I can't think where he has picked up this idea, I don't particularly focus on sunsets in my images, but I must have unconsciously passed on the idea that sunsets are both beautiful and worthy of photographing (or the former leads inevitably to the latter). It is slightly scary that this is so ingrained in society that at the age of 4 he already has a socially conditioned sense of what is beautiful. It seems that he was drawn to the sunset more through a desire to please than because he particularly wanted to take that image – I suspect he has no sense yet of a need to "capture" or possess the sunset, instead his world revolves around mimicking and pleasing me. This makes me wonder how much of what we individually consider beautiful is passed on from our parents, stemming from a desire to conform and please them. How can society possibly break free of such a strong stifling influence – it is near impossible to conceive of a way in which we can avoid passing on our visual preferences to our children. This may not be a problem, but I am certainly more aware now of encouraging his freedom to determine his own visual and artistic instincts.

The UnPopular Opinion: Alien Covenant
THE UNPOPULAR OPINION is an ongoing column featuring different takes on films that either the writer HATED, but that the majority of film fans LOVED, or that the writer LOVED, but that most others LOATHED. We're hoping this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Enjoy!
Ridley Scott just cannot catch a break when it comes to ALIEN. The revered filmmaker who started the ALIEN franchise has received nothing but mixed reviews for his return to the series. First, PROMETHEUS divided audiences who nitpicked the shit out of everything from how Charlize Theron ran to how the film did or did not fit into the Xenomorph saga. Personally, I loved PROMETHEUS and wanted to explore the storyline more. If anything, I was disappointed when the movie forced the alien into an appearance towards the end of that film. I had high hopes until the announcement that the follow-up would not only knock Neil Blomkamp's ALIEN film out of pre-production but would also forego what Scott started with PROMETHEUS in favor of a movie more directly connected to the titular franchise. Upon first viewing, I enjoyed ALIEN: COVENANT despite readily apparent flaws. After some time and repeated viewings, I have come to truly love the sixth entry in the ALIEN saga.
While not as good of a film as either PROMETHEUS or the original ALIEN, Scott's ALIEN: COVENANT is a by the numbers follow-up that meshes both the old and the new to deliver a rousing and entertaining science fiction thriller that showcases a great ensemble cast led by the brilliant dual performances from Michael Fassbender. As the only returning cast-member from PROMETHEUS, Fassbender chews the scenery as both the mad scientist villain David and his robotic successor, Walter. Replacing Noomi Rapace as the female lead is Katherine Waterston whose performance echoes Sigourney Weaver's iconic Ripley from the original film. All together, ALIEN: COVENANT may not be Ridley Scott's best film, but it is definitely at the top of his recent output. Unlike PROMETHEUS, ALIEN: COVENANT serves as a true prequel to the classic ALIEN film and gives us the origin of the Xenomorphs we never knew we wanted.
What makes ALIEN: COVENANT such an underrated success is the fact that it doesn't give fans what they want. In an age where films like STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS and JURASSIC WORLD ride to box office records on nostalgia, ALIEN: COVENANT turns in directions that defy what fans of the franchise have theorized or wanted for decades. PROMETHEUS was as far from an ALIEN film as possible which gave it a distinct appeal and style which I had hoped would carry on into this sequel. Instead, Ridley Scott presents fans with the more direct connection to his science fiction horror classic by returning to the roots of claustrophobic body horror that made the 1979 film so legendary. But, instead of giving us an origin for the Xenomorphs as a species of unstoppable killing machines, he made David the madman who genetically designed them. In so many ways, ALIEN: COVENANT spits in the eye of those who loved PROMETHEUS and twists the origin for the ALIEN saga in such a way that you cannot revisit the classic film or it's sequels without being influenced by the story in this movie.
All of this hinges on the cast. Katherine Waterston plays a much more appealing and relatable protagonist compared to Noomi Rapace and she is joined by a cast that includes an understated Billy Crudup, a dramatically competent Danny McBride, along with the sexy Callie Hernandez, Jussie Smollett, the great Demain Bichir and a subdued cameo from James Franco. Everyone here is infinitely more relatable than any of the characters from PROMETHEUS and echo the crew of the Nostromo from the original ALIEN. As the characters are picked off, one by one, I could not help but feel anxious on their behalf and horrified by the actions of the malevolent David. In fact, it is a testament to the work of these actors, many of whom have limited screen time, that they manage to make such a lasting impression on the viewer.
But, no one is more brilliant than Michael Fassbender himself. David was far and away my favorite character in PROMETHEUS and his duplicitous actions in that film left me with countless questions as to his true motivations. I never expected him to end up being the maniacal Dr. Frankenstein he is portrayed at in ALIEN: COVENANT, but I applaud the risky direction taken by writers John Logan and Dante Harper. In what may be the most awkwardly brilliant moment in any modern film, genre or otherwise, Michael Fassbender manages to imbue the playing of a phallic musical instrument into an incestual and darkly erotic metaphor for self awareness and independence. Fassbender manages to play two identical characters as wholly unique creations and steals the show from his entire supporting cast. Already one of the best actors working today, Fassbender elevates ALIEN: COVENANT from a genre film into a lot more. You may be saying that is an overstatement, but ALIEN: COVENANT is a deep allegory about what it means to be human and the desire to find out creator. Where PROMETHEUS was a hopeful quest for discovery, ALIEN: COVENANT becomes a dark hunt for vengeance.
ALIEN: COVENANT manages to be more visually appealing than PROMETHEUS and harkens back to the set design and style of Scott's 1979 original while maintaining a much more modern sensibility. The dark frames and flooded color palette of blues, greens, and blacks gives ALIEN: COVENANT a haunting visual appeal. The foreign landscape of the Engineer's planet is at once familiar to Earth and eerily alien which is enhanced by the location shooting and subtle use of CGI. Ridley Scott does a damn fine job of making this movie look and feel as scary as possible. Aided by the cinematography of Dariusz Wolski and the music by Jed Kurzel, ALIEN: COVENANT is a much smaller scale film than I anticipated but one that packs every bit of the punch of it's predecessors.
ALIEN: COVENANT had the thankless job of trying to outperform PROMETHEUS which turned many fans off of the prequel franchise but also needed to pay fan service to those who felt left cold by that movie. Thankfully, it appeals to both sides and manages not to feel like it is riding the coattails of what came before or after. Yes, the origin of the Xenomorphs feels a bit heavy-handed, but ALIEN: COVENANT is not a movie about aliens but rather humanity. The David/Walter dynamic here seems like it was intended to be a subplot to the ALIEN story that the studio wanted, but in an act of subterfuge, Ridley Scott made a movie that is ALIEN in name only. This film stands up very well to repeat viewings and can be dissected in so many ways. ALIEN: COVENANT is scary, fast-paced, sexy, gory, and haunting but it is also lyrical, poetic, and very transcendental. This is not just a Ridley Scott ALIEN movie but a Ridley Scott film that deserves to be watched and watched again.

Non-Formal Education, what can we lose? What can we gain?
Let's start! Stop and think in one thing. We, the youngers, have been learning from the older and the smarter for ages. Nowadays there's not many differences, we can actually learn a lot from the most skilled people. But we can think different and feel that the oldest are not the authority always. If you pay attention to your world you can discover leaders or youth workers interacting with you in another way. They are there to guide you and help you to achieve aims. Get through your stubbornness and laziness. Don't sit behind your computer and let them to open a new path for you!
For sure, you enjoy learning. Traditional education systems have benefits too, but it seems that they forgot something. Maybe you don't know how to rule your world right now, but you know almost everything about life in other countries. Joining projects as the Slovakian IUVENTA you could get very important social skills as teamwork, management skill and many more that you can need in your own personal and professional development. Don't you forget it, at school you can learn a lot, but some kind of social abilities that you can only get in the real life.
Do you know the real meaning of "to be able"? It does not only know how to do it, you also have to know how to make it work and have the courage to carry it out. It is not about one person. Would leader become successful without his team? Learn how to become team player, how to get people work together, how to trust them, what's more, learn how to be independent and efficient. With these values and competence you will be very fair leader in the future.
If you think that you made the most out of non-formal education, pass your skills further. It is great to share your skills to the other young people. Watch them using which you gave them in their personal and professional life. Become a youth worker, too. Learn how to change lives of young people around you.
As you could see on the video, when our educational process is finished, we are ready to use our knowledge and skills in real life. But can everybody really do it? Here we can see who is really hardworking. It is not visible at first sight; sometimes you show your qualities later in your life. Meanwhile when someone was studying for whole life, you were learning! About real life, about yourself. Meantime your peer was best at school, you were becoming best in life. Even if you won't be in front of him, it will be because you got delayed by all of your opportunities. But in the end of the day, you will be the winner!

"Fuck tha Police" and mineral water
Bulletin Resistons Ensemble (credo, roughly, community "self organisation" against police violence), with commentary about the UK riots.
RESISTONS ENSEMBLE / bulletin number 100 / September 2011
"Fuck tha Police" and mineral water
There's one who took a bottle of mineral water, another a packet of crisps or a smartphone, yet another who tagged "fuck tha police" somewhere, others who shouted about the dealers profiting from their revolt… It wasn't clear-cut, wasn't pure. There was no ten-point programme, no parties or committees, no leaders, or even a coordination. It was a tsunami of young people, unexpected, powerful, which has swept through the UK during the days following the murder, on 4 August, of Mark Duggan, 29 years old, of Caribbean origin, by the London police. For several days the crowds took aim at the politicians, the state, the police… There was one who said: "I've finally got something to say to my kids", another added "We haven't done anything special, we've just been able to act for ourselves". Clearly, the significance wasn't missed – "scum", "savages", "criminal under-class", "consumerists", "confused", "divisives", "not clearly anticapitalist"… The media, the authorities, the parties have denounced them. Dumbfounded and trembling. Oh, what ecstasies the same people can go into over the beauty of the Arab revolutions, those "brave peaceful people" who overthrow the rather too compromised tyrants… on condition that they know how to stop in time and are content with establishing a Western Democracy, a dictatorship in make-up by L'Oréal. But when in Tunisia, in Egypt they begin to attack the police, the army, commodities, then, well, no excesses, if you please! Then when in the UK, at the heart of the system, where a dictatorship is lacking, part of the people, the most oppressed, exploited, victims of racism, in brief the salt of the earth, dare to lay hands on the two pillars of "democratic" capitalism, the police and private property, there is class hatred. British justice understands very well that the important thing is not the theft of an mp3 player or a flat screen, but the fact of having dared to revolt together, spontaneously, of having hit the symbols of the system. As did the young man who was given 6 months for stealing a pack of water (!). And here in France ? It's not so good any more. Level of solidarity near zero. Like in 2005. It's the fashion that when there are no elections, there is "indignation". On 14 July this year, during the march of the "indignant" Parisians, neighbourhood youth carrying the banner - "Poor neighbourhoods – police crimes, discrimination, unemployment - enough!" – were asked, in vain, to leave the front of the demo. It was "spoiling" the indignation, it was "too political". What sort of politics is that?
