en | N/A | N/A | Some time later my doctor prescribed Paxil for anxiety. Lo and behold, the IBS symptoms went away. I kind of forgot about the IBS (yeah!
IIt Five stars and thank you Paxil!
I am a late 40s male with alternating IBS. Paroxetine for me is useful as part of a broader medications approach. It does seem to flatten the highs and lows that my digestive system goes through every day, and I get my benefits at only 10mg per day (half a tablet) - my gastro calls me a cheap drunk!
I have suffered with IBS for over 20 years. I have been told 'It's only in your head', or 'You're doing this to yourself'. Well, I would not wish this disease on anyone, much less do it to myself!
I use Lomotil, take a half a Paxil every day and have gotten some life back. I can go to work (over 25 miles one way) without fear of having to get to a bathroom fast. There are still some days that I fear I won't get there in time, but not like it used to be. I too left life to remain home except to go to work, no other alternative! |

en | N/A | N/A | What is foul ball in baseball?
A foul ball in baseball is a baseball that is hit by a batter into foul territory. Foul territory is determined by the foul lines and the foul poles. It does not include the foul lines themselves.
A foul ball is a hit baseball that lands in foul territory, outside the foul lines. Additionally, if the baseball is hit and initially bounces in fair territory between home plate and the bases, then bounces into foul territory before crossing a base, it is considered a foul ball.
A foul ball is considered a strike only under certain circumstances. If the batter has less than two strikes and hits a foul ball, it counts as a strike. If the batter has two strikes and hits a foul ball, it does not count as the third strike; it is considered a dead ball and the strike count remains the same.
If a foul ball is caught by a defensive player, the batter is out, regardless of the strike count. |

- Next Page » </s> After three years in the making, King’s Daughters Organization of Springfield has published a 250-page hardcover cookbook with 400 recipes, some from local chefs and restaurants.
“Dining with the Daughters” could be called the granddaughter of the Junior League of Springfield’s popular “Honest to Goodness,” published in 1990. Both are the same size, were locally produced and are stocked with recipes that have been fully tested.
“We had at least five people taste each recipe and included only the ones with the highest ratings. We were looking for the ‘wow’ recipes,” said Cathy Schwartz, a member of the King’s Daughters’ cookbook committee. The project started with more than 700 submitted recipes, which were whittled down after testing.
The book, which sells for $29.95, goes on sale Friday. A kick-off event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Ace Hardware parking lot, 1600 Wabash Ave. The public is invited to sample recipes from the book and to buy a copy directly from a truck. Ten thousand copies of the book were printed.
Starting on the same day, the book will be available at The Wardrobe, Homescapes, Pease’s Candy Shops, The Corkscrew Wine Emporium, Tinsley Dry Goods and Flora Scape. It also can be ordered through the group’s website:.

en | N/A | N/A | Like Tongue Out Tuesday, but with tables...and, yeah, it's just barely still Tuesday. It's a fun title though, so I'll type fast :-).
When you live in a small house and a small wool house, space is always at a premium. I've been stacking balancing stuff on the back beam of my big loom for years. It occurred to me that it would be very useful if I could turn that into an actual table.
The "table" rests on the back beam and hooks onto a loop of mop cord (another weaving tool that's not getting used as much as it should around here :-/) attached to the bar at the top. When I want to use the loom, I just need to unhook the back loops and remove the board. Pretty clever if I say so myself :-).
The weaving sheep look very interested in the yarn cones. I need to do a post showing the before and after yarn the next time I'm skeining and washing. Everyone who's seen the unwashed yarn compared to the finished yarn is amazed. It is pretty wild.
The other new pretty darn clever table is in the spare bedroom at the not quite as woolly house. I wanted a way to spread out and package orders without having to carry all the shipping supplies into the dining room, making a huge mess.
Putting a board on some hinges off the shelf was pretty do-able, but setting legs underneath it was problematic and I wasn't super jazzed about having chains holding up each side. In the process of propping up the table to set the hinges, Tim noticed the quilt rack was the exact height to support the table.
And when I'm done I just slide all my shipping supplies back on the shelf, remover the quilt rack and drop the board. How about that!
It's two minutes until Wednesday, so I'm going to table this and go to bed :-D.
We were then taken around all the bird enclosures and told about each bird as an individual and as a species. They also discussed the different styles of housing and perches and how they accommodate injured birds who aren't able to fly up to standard perches or boxes.
Great Horned Owl - The Tiger of the Sky - look for the ear tufts.
Barred Owl - their eyes are different - almost sleepy looking.
Apparently this can happen with other birds as well. I believe my dad said he's seen a leucistic Cardinal.
This is where my photo tour ends. I took pictures in the beginning, but ended up getting distracted by all the beautiful birds and interesting information and asking endless questions... We also saw a Bald Eagle, a Turkey Vulture, two Eastern Screech Owls and another Great Horned Owl. You can see and read about them on their ambassador page.
.besides Cheetos ;-), but if you are tempted to toss yours out the car window, don't. That draws in small rodents, right along the road, which in turn draws in birds of prey. From now on my banana peels will be saved for a mid field toss once I get home. Poisoned rodents is another huge danger.
These programs are incredibly important to the birds themselves and the people they educate and inspire. We were thrilled to experience a small part and help support the work that they do. It was an amazing afternoon.
Everyone's in their spot. Rocky at the gate, waiting for breakfast, Jared standing at the ready, Maisie and Cheeto, relaxing in the warm sun. Cheeto is watching me carefully to see if it's time to get up for breakfast, though. The chickens are scratching around in the straw, but mostly happy for the sunshine. Three cold mornings. We are all happy here :-).
A new puzzle from the boys :-).
Billy Belly has always loved sleeping on a pillow. I thought it was just him, but in searching for that 2007 picture, I found quite a few of Emily, his momma, sleeping on her last lamb, Casper Belly. I'm trying to remember who he used to sleep on before he moved to Easy Breezy...ah, it was Boudreaux! That's right. Good old blog :-).
He frequently snuggled up with Renny, even in the summer. I'm glad he has B. Willard now. If I had to pick a wool pillow...it would definitely be Willard. Good old B. Willard :-).
A sheep of (mostly) Impeccable Character ;-).
After we got Baaxter back under control, I was able to get a couple really sweet pictures of the sheep with the new yarn.
I always wonder how much they understand about...life. I know they understand that getting sheared makes them feel a lot better, but do they know that what's in the basket is the wool from their backs?
Or their kids backs? Rocky was very, very interested in the yarn.
Remember when I threw Rocky under the bus for being a spoiled sport about getting his picture taken? Jared... This is as close to the yarn as he'd get and it was just for a split (and blurry) second.
"Dudes, I don't know nothin' about that yarn. I'm just here for the ladies...and the cookies."
So this is the Lamb Camp....Legacy yarn. It's a limited edition, small batch run, spun from some of the nicest lambs sired by Nistock Farm's Rocky and Jared when they were working over at Tring Farm, before they retired over here.
The yarn is a really versatile DK weight and I think it would be suitable for almost anything, except possibly socks...but I'm not a sock expert, so I could be wrong. It's comfy and soft, but still has some texture and feels like actual wool. I'll stop here before I say something disparaging about over processed merino... ;-).
Rocky and Jared are Cotswold crosses and the mommas are crosses of North Country Cheviots and Polypays and maybe a little Dorset, so the blend is a lovely mix of crimpy down type wool with a lovely longwool drape and luster. I love the natural colors and the soft sheepy feel. It really is beautiful.
Each washed skein measures 250 yards and the two grays weigh around 3.5 ounces and the white weighs almost 4 ounces, so it's on the heavier end of DK weight. I can also wind off skeins without washing, for weavers. Unwashed skeins are measured at 262 yards to account for shrinkage.
I've knit the three color sample and dyed and knit the Forest for the Trees hat. I've also woven a dollhouse rug with it for a friend. I enjoyed each project and am very happy with this fun and useful yarn. I'm also getting ready to start a small cable project, too, you know...for marketing purposes ;-).
By the way (more marketing) We) so I'd love to find them good homes. Sale prices $10 (farm) and $8 (Lamb Camp).
As always, if you are interested in making a purchase, it's as simple as just sending me an email. More details at our farm shop page :-). Thanks!
My plan was to do the official post for the new Lamb Camp Legacy yarn this evening, but the photo outtakes were so funny I couldn't help posting them first. For all you Baaxter fans... :-D.
I'd been walking around trying to take some nice pictures of the yarn and noticed the sheep were in the side field with a lovely sunset behind them. I set the basket of yarn down in there thinking it would be nice if I could take a picture with Rocky and Jared in the background. Rocky and Baaxter walked right up.
Baaxter in the lead.
I couldn't believe my luck and started shooting.
I moved over a bit to get out of the sun glare...
...and that's where things headed south.
"You sure you're supposed to eat that, son?"
"Yeah, I get to do whatever I want..."
...because I'm yarn worthy! And I know my Auntie Reg will bail me out ;-)."
He ate the tag. I tried to take it away from him, but all I could get back was the yarn. Hope his Auntie Reg makes him something nice with it ;-D.
I'll post the "real" pictures tomorrow and if anyone would like to buy some really nice yarn with only a little bit of sheep spit on it...
The vice president of security for The White Guard.
And a new puzzle.
r) and just added six extra stitches yesterday ;-).
Why did I add six extra stitches yesterday? Let me bring you up to speed...
Well, I’m taking this as a good omen for the new year! I (finally) finished my Forest from the Trees hat and I added some red and blue duplicate stitches in the trees to symbolize Peep (my favorite cardinal 😍) and another favorite bird, blue jays (thanks to @juliezickefoose Jemima) and as I am (still 🙄) sitting on the porch, a pair of blue jays just came in and checked out the feeder! I very, very rarely see them here. They apparently didn’t like my “cooking” and didn’t stay, but what a surprise! I’m thinking the hat drew them in and maybe it’s magical 🤔. Must cast on an owl hat. No wait, add owls to magic hat! BRB 😀.
If you look closely (click to biggify) at the top picture, you can see the two brown stitches now up in the tree. I actually added two "owls"...a pair...and then decided I wanted three owls, so they are a small family. And yes, I realize that I probably don't want a owl mixed up in a tree full of my favorite smaller birds, but these are kind owls and are only here "visiting" ;-).
Here's where things went a little...awkward. Last night I had a dream that I was sitting on the end of the bed and the little blond chicken was sitting next to me (yes, in the house :-o) and outside the window were five new brownish-black chickens gathered together looking like they, too, would like to come in the house...so there may be a glitch or two.
This is the Forest for the Trees hat by Mary Scott Huff.
I used a partial skein of the new white Lamb Camp Legacy yarn and I dyed it using Jacquard acid dyes. It's lovely :-). I promise I will get the yarn posted soon. It's posted!
I noticed on the projects page that some folks had trouble with the hat being too short, so I added three extra rows...and if I make it again I will probably add three more somewhere. I am hat challenged...or pointy headed.
I used duplicate stitches to add some cardinals, blue jays and owls and changed the top to brown to look like a pine cone :-).
It was a very fun knit and a beautiful hat. I Not Chickens.
And I'm guessing Jared might be staying out there alone because of his horses nearby. He could make a commercial as the most interesting sheep in the world.
Lancelot was a little worried about the sheep and nearby cows when he first got here, but I think Frankie convinced him they were okay. Frankie, who has been very nervous around tractors/ATV/The Unit has learned from Lancelot that they are okay as well. They are a good match. |

The vascularization and the dermal remodeling of two different types of human skin reconstructed "in vitro" and grafted onto the nude mouse were studied. They were composed of human keratinocytes grown either on a human acellular deepidermized dermis (DED), or on a lattice composed of human fibroblasts embedded in bovine type I collagen, a living dermal equivalent (LDE). At different stages after grafting, the transplants were harvested and processed for an immunohistological study with species-specific and non-species-specific antibodies. At one month after grafting, the two types of grafted dermis contained blood vessels whose vascular basement membranes were labeled with a mouse-specific anti-type IV collagen antibody. With an antibody specific for human type IV collagen, a constant labeling of the vascular basement membrane was only observed in the LDE containing fibroblasts. In the DED, a constant association of the mouse endothelial cells with human type IV collagen was observed at early stages after grafting. At later stages, the human type IV collagen progressively disappeared. On the other hand, the dermal-epidermal junction underneath the human epidermis contained human type IV collagen in the two types of reconstructed skin. Labeling with the species-specific antibodies directed against human or murine type I collagen showed that the ratio murine type I collagen versus human type I collagen increased with time, suggesting that the DED is progressively invaded by mouse fibroblasts that produce the mouse collagen. On the other hand, in the LDE, the preexisting bovine type I collagen became progressively undetectable while both human type I collagen and elastic fibers were deposited by numerous human fibroblasts. Mouse type I collagen was not detected. Altogether, these observations made by grafting human skin reconstructed "in vitro" onto the nude mouse should be interesting for evaluating the usefulness of grafting a dermal substrate together with the epidermal sheet in the treatment of burns. |

The camp's focus is on video games and 3D modeling. Students will progress through all the stages a real games designer advances through when developing their own computer game. Students will learn the following things:
Day 1 and 2 of the camp are used as building blocks for the remaining days. During day one the student learns how to program a computer using the Java programming language. On day two they learn how to do 3D modeling using a modeling application program. Days 3 and 4 are used to add features and capabilities to the algorithms they developed during day 1 and 2. Day 3's capability advancement is artificial intelligent tricks that will make their algorithms more clever. In day 4 they will make their programs adaptable to physical constraints. Making games seamlessly intelligent andbehave has if gravity and projectiles actually exist in the computer is a challenging and fun problem.
They will have Thursday afternoon and Friday morning to prepare. Points will be tallied and the best teams will receive 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.
A tour will be organized to view the an industry grade gaming company. Last year our tour was with EA Games Montreal. We will also have the option to attend the Mars tour. |
en | N/A | N/A | If mental illness doesn’t cause bad behavior, what does?What causes bad behavior in people who aren’t mentally ill?Generally, it’s bad character: selfishness, lack of ethics, etc. Guess what?
But other mental illnesses, particularly the personality disorders, do not involve consistent physiological issues which can be diagnosed through lab procedures. They are defined by the patient engaging in behaviors that are particularly dysfunctional (even though most people with PDs are, in many ways, highly functional overall). These disorders were originally classified as character disorders, because it was believed they chose to live highly toxic lives. In recent years, psychiatry has reclassified them as personality disorders based on the idea that the personality is prevented from forming in the typical ways during childhood, and this results in a personality that is less adaptable than that of a non-PD person. While PDs cannot be treated, and people with them are notorious for being highly toxic to at least some of the people around them, are they really incapable of refraining from hurting people?
As for the psychology stuff…
“Clearly this person had problems, that’s why it happened, we’re all fine, s/he was sick, we’re all fine, it’s okay, it’s okay.”
“, 15 times more likely to be assaulted, and 23 times more likely to be raped than was the general population.”
I think the whole ‘mentally ill people are dangerous’ myth persecutes those who are mentally ill and no more harmful to others than anyone else, but it also gives a free pass to those who use their mental illness to excuse their bad behaviour. A ‘friend’ of mine had (I assume still has, we’re just not friends) Asbergers and used it to blame his complete inability to respect boundaries. He had a crush on me, and I’d tell him I wasn’t interested and why (we wanted such different things from a relationship, the kind of things you couldn’t negotiate on)…a few weeks later he’d ask me out again because his Asbergers had made him ‘forget’ why not. He’d come to my house hours earlier than planned (and early than my partner, conveniently getting time alone with me) becausehe wasn’t sure about traffic and didn’t want to be late. (Barring an accident, traffic in Perth is fairly reliable. I would even have understood if we were talking 15-30 minutes, but not 2 hours.) He’d call me when he’d been told repeatedly ‘I’m always working that day/I have Spanish that evening’ and again, the Asbergers made him forget. Except when I didn’t answer the phone because I was, you know, working, in Spanish etc, and then he’d manage to remember when I finished because he’d call half an hour later…
Looking back, I realise just how draining it was to be dealing with someone who could not respect boundaries. I tried to be understanding at the time, he has Asbergers, he has difficulty respecting boundaries… |
en | N/A | N/A | 4 Common causes of bed bugs infestations
1) While Travelling: These are the most common areas where bed bugs may find their way into your luggage and ride back to you home.
2) College: Are you a parent of college-aged children? High traffic areas and multiple beds in dormitory housing create the perfect environment for bed bugs to return home with you loved one.
3) Brand New Furniture: We’re not going to be focusing on new furniture, if you brought it home. This is another way that bed bugs can be brought home.
4) Guests at House: Bed bugs can also be spread by guests who stay at your house with their belongings.
How do you know if you have bedbugs?
You want to catch bed begging early because they are difficult to spot. However, it is very difficult to identify and find early low-level infestations, according to the EPA. As high as 50% of bedbug sufferers will not be able to identify the problem. There are early warning signs that can be detected, but some are more reliable than others. These signs can be a sign that you have bed bugs. We will inspect your home completely, if you notice them. You see live bed bugs, which can be a sign of infestation. This is often difficult to identify and may not always be obvious. Bed bug shell casings are yellowish translucent shells that can be found in mattress seams and upholstered furniture.
Bed bug eggs are tiny but easily visible. Bed bug fecal spots are small dark spots that look almost like ink dots from a pen. It looks like tiny bloodstains on your pillow, clothes, and sheets. Itchy, small bumps appear on your arms and legs from bites. Many people don’t have signs of bedbug bites. Although a new musty odor in your bedroom can be a sign, it is usually not the most reliable.
Bed bugs Signs and Symptoms
In Woodbridge, VA, bed bugs are a common problem in American households. Before you become infested, it is important to know what signs to look out for. Before you move into a new home or apartment, make sure to inspect it for signs of bed bugs.
These signs are easy to spot: pin prick blood spots on your sheets (pin-prick blood spots), dark spots from fecal matter (dark marks), and molting. If you don’t take care, these signs won’t be easily detected. You should inspect the seams between the box spring and mattress as well as the edges of carpet. If not closely examined, bed bug aggregations (live and molting bed bugs, eggs, and fecal matter), could be mistakenly thought to be mold.
They may surprise you where they are found. They can be found in almost any place, even the couch, dresser and clothing. They can find their way into almost any crevice. You should inspect the corners that are not obvious, such as the wood framing holding the closet bar.
Because you are not able to get a good look at bed bugs, they can be difficult to identify. Booklice, spider beetles and carpet beetles are all common pests that could masquerade as bedbugs. Don’t guess! For a free bed bug inspection, Call today (301) 449-2937.

en | N/A | N/A | Now that the holiday season is over, it is okay to stop mimicking the Coca-Cola polar bears. Cutting soda out of your diet is the simplest way. A single can of soda can contain hundreds of calories and a few dozen grams of sugar. Switching to diet versions of your favorite soda can still be harmful as artificial sweeteners are bad for you as well. You can still maintain the same food diet and potentially lose weight by choosing water as your beverage of choice.
If you are living in a place outside of California that actually experiences winter, chances are you probably have some snow outside of your house right now. It may not be the most fun of tasks, but it can burn you an extra 500 calories that you wouldn’t have before, and you won’t even have to leave your front or backyard. If you are short on funds, you could also turn it into a neighborhood side gig.
During the holiday season, you have probably been in and out of different houses and stuffing yourself on a new plate at each one. Now that it’s over and the leftovers have run out, try cooking for yourself at home instead. Cooking for yourself allows you to have complete freedom over your portion sizes and seasonings, allowing you not to feel pressured about finishing a whole bag of french fries or getting an extra plate. The ball is in your court, and that makes it easier than ever to eat healthily. |

en | N/A | N/A | ience: A Study of Leading Brands
1. Sense: The extent to which a person discerns a meaningful, emotionally relevant story. How much does the experience leave an impression or expression? How well does the brand connect to the target customers’ purpose, core, belief, lifestyle?
2. Research the constituent elements of those experiences: What are the essential elements, what work do they do for customers? 3. Research the “back story”: What are the organizational, leadership, technology, and business components which make the experience possible? To identify the 27 brands we studied, we started with the list of companies featured in Forrester Research’s Customer Experience Online Survey (from the fourth quarter of 2012). From that list, we selected only those brands that received the top customer experience score in their industry. We then added 10 fast-growing startups from Fast Company’s 2013 Most Innovative Companies. Finally, we conducted more than 15 expert reviews to determine which companies to evaluate and explore their back story. We then conducted visits across various digital and many physical touchpoints for the brands assessed, including Red Bull Arena, Walt Disney World, NASCAR’s Richmond International Raceway, and Marshalls’ Chicago store. We audited their various online, tablet, mobile, and physical properties and scored them in each of five experience dimensions. The five dimensions assess how well a particular campaign, design, interaction, or environment performs in terms of experience. Each brand received a score from zero to four in each dimension. We identified these dimensions to more effectively address a wider aperture of experience, and they build on insightful academic thinking about designing for a more complete experience.
In our evaluation, this category includes Brand Consistency: Does the story demonstrate visual & brand consistency? Can the experience be joined at any point and still convey the brand message clearly? This broadens the traditional sense of “fit” typically discussed among experience professionals.
(out of 4.0)
The defining experience, particularly in the Access category. Recommending changes to my life based on my personal analytics.
Strong emotional connection, and their recent investment into brick and mortar Financial Centers packed with digital technology is impressive.
Great brand and storytelling, but planning and execution gaps in the experience. The introduction of myDisney and mobile apps are a step in the right direction.
A simple multichannel experience for small business owners, well executed. Future upside in analytics and loyalty programs.
Social property involves users, although sensory engagement is limited to pictures.
Strong second-screen tools, but racetrack infrastructure make it difficult to truly connect the digital and physical experiences.
Extremely pervasive. Best-in-class ordering, personalization. New locker experience. Brand doesn’t connect on emotion to the same degree as our leaders.
Fab knows its audience, but still feels like every other e-commerce experiences beyond its core messaging and offering, with the exception of social integration.
In-store experience disappoints, but on a rational level they’re providing solid value. Baseline.
The Overall Score is the sum of the five equally weighted category dimensions: Sense, Control, Continuity, Fit, Access. See ‘Instrumenting Experience’ section in this article for more details on methodology. Overall
Solid customer experience, small business platform tools, but doesn’t invite customers to bring American Express into their lives to the same degree as the leaders; results in a lower Access score.
Highly immersive on-site experience which doesn’t extend beyond a single visit.
Worn Wear blog actively collects user stories, but overall web/mobile experience is just above baseline.
The emotional connection (Sense), and mobile look and feel lags.
The product is about building personal stories. Strong sensory/visual site, but lack of mobile site/app hampers a strong, social brand. Simply not the same sophistication as some of the other efforts.
Effectively connects business areas to smarter planet. Due to scale, they struggle to create and sustain a consistent experience. Better than GE, but...
Low-cost business model unfortunately shapes the depth and intensity of the experience. |

en | N/A | N/A | Alright here's my problem. I currently have a layout php called include.inc.php which holds this code:
Echo "$SHTM<table border=1>
$EHTML";
Now my issue is when I want to include this layout into other pages whenever I add text to a new .php it puts it after the table, when I want it to go into either cell 1 or cell 2 of the table. Now I'm pretty sure the below code is correct, however I do not know what to put after the include("include.inc.php"); part in order to edit the certain cells. Any help would be amazing!
include("include.inc.php");
an include (and require) add the script when it is called
my include file could say "This is an include"
If I have my page
"This is text<br />
<? include("myinclude.php"); ?>
<br />this is more text
Ok, but lets say my include file is my layout (so I can just change this one file to change every page) - I'm going to want to put it first in my php file, thus the:
include("include.inc.php");[/code]
at the very start of code.
What I need to know is how to insert text or other things in the middle of this include.inc.php file.
So an example
My index page needs a welcome message and my layout is just a normal two cell table. I want to insert the word hello into the second cell by changing the /index.php file while leaving the include.inc.php file alone. And then another page (lets say index2.php needs to say another message in the cell 2, but only by changing the index2.php.
??? ??? ???
Normally, what's in an included file [b]doesn't get changed[/b] significantly. A normal arrangement might be:
include("top_of_page_stuff.php");
<!-- your page content goes here-->
include("bottom_of_page_stuff.php");
top of page stuff and bottom of page stuff act like 'wrappers' to the content. |
en | N/A | N/A | Dirk Bogarde plays the role of Nicholas Whistler, the clueless Czech speaking writer that finds himself in hot water and unfamiliar territory. Bogarde does an amazing job with the character, which at first comes off as forgettable, but as the film progresses along becomes an endearing centerpiece that ultimately drives the movie forward at a tremendous pace. The overwhelming situation that the character of Whistler finds himself in provides such a sympathizing scenario for the audience to latch itself onto, that Bogarde milks it for all it’s worth. Dirk slowly reveals the character’s charisma so to gradually make us feel comfortable with him and ultimately get to know him as the story moves along. It is this technique that eventually pays off in full when Whistler finds himself a wanted man, painfully struggling to get to the safety of the British Embassy. We root for him all the way, hoping against hope that he makes it and comes out victorious over the insurmountable odds. The character of Nicholas Whistler is unlike any that we’ve seen in either traditional Eurospy films or the comedic centric efforts that sprung from the genre, and in that respect Bogarde was able to bring us an unexpectedly brilliant turn as a mistaken secret agent without turning the role into a cartoon-like farce filled with pratfalls and slapstick humor.
Taking on the role of Vlasta Simoneva the exquisitely beautiful Czech agent is the breathtaking Yugoslavian born actress, Sylva Koscina. In Hot Enough for June, Sylva has never looked better and her character is so lik right alongside Nicholas Whistler. Whenever she appears onscreen, the film just pops to life allowing for some outstanding visual moments that both showcase her physical beauty as well as her more tender and timid sides. The chemistry between both herself and Dirk Bogarde is ever present went the two are shown together, and that connection perfectly establishes their relationship throughout the movie. This is a good thing to, because Sylva’s Vlasta Simoneva is essential to the progression of the story, seeing that she provides the only friendly face for the fish out of water character of Whistler. The trust between this cinematic couple is exceptional and it contrasts to great extent the metaphorical overtone of mistrust that their two countries possess in the film. Sylva Koscina’s presence in this movie only adds to the appeal and longevity of this fun little espionage gem.
What can mostly be said about the atmosphere in Hot Enough for June is that it is succinct in balancing both the edge of your seat thrills with the whimsical nature of the cinema world that it creates for itself. For a Cold War era story, the movie is rather light hearted and free, but at the same time it has a sense of dread splashed here and there as the story progresses into more dire territory. When Whistler is being hunted by the police, we get a taste of the alienation that he feels and the loneliness that he deals with while trying to gather his bearings within a culture drastically unlike his own. These moments are unsettling and highly effective in capturing that paranoid mind set of a person on the run and with nowhere to turn. Hot Enough for June nails this difficult balance of both traditional espionage elements and comedy driven narratives, making for an interesting combination that looks absolutely mesmerizing.
Hot Enough for June is a remarkably fun film, which manages to roll with the tried and true formula of placing an ordinary man in extraordinary situations just to watch him squirm, yet the filmmakers do it in such a manner that it feels fresh and new. The enjoyability factor of this movie is through the roof, fantastically displayed so that our eyeballs threaten to burst from our skull.
With a cast as spectacularly presented and hand picked as this one, you’d be kidding yourself if you didn’t find something to hold your attention. Dirk Bogarde is the perfect everyman, bringing the sensibilities that are needed in order to convince the audience of his hapless nature and inevitable destiny to . Sylva Koscina just scorches up the scenery, looking as ravishing as she ever has in her long line of cinema roles. I’d be lying to myself if I said I wasn’t as smitten with her as our dear old Nicholas Whistler. The film, simply put, is just plain old fun providing all of the aspects of a spy spoof that you’d come to expect from the genre, yet amping up the fun factor of it all a hundred fold. There’s a magic to this simple film that catches me off guard every time I view it and I’m willing to bet that it will sweep you up just the same. If that doesn’t float your boat then what can I say, this flick was….. |

en | N/A | N/A | Four years ago I, a practicing physician and cardiologist, was into heavy gymming. It was my passion to have a muscular physique. I had a young trainer who was a terror in the gym and used to make us work out beyond our tolerance levels. One day I was almost done with my workout when the trainer came to me and asked me to check a person who was feeling uneasy after his workout. The trainer told me that he had made him do a lot of abdominal exercises which he normally didn’t do.
The two of us got him inside my car and he was taken to my hospital and an ECG was done. It was a frank myocardial infarction (HEART ATTACK). He was immediately rushed to a tertiary care centre where he underwent an angiogram and angioplasty after which he survived.
So let’s not be fools and self inflate our ego by the positive things that we become instruments of.

en | N/A | N/A | The Easter Road outfit drafted in midfielder Liam Henderson on a season-long switch from the Hoops last season and returned to Parkhead to snap up Anthony Stokes on another loan in January.
The duo proved influential for the capital outfit, none more so than in their historic Scottish Cup triumph last month, when Stokes netted a double and Henderson provided two late assists – including for David Gray’s stunning winner – from pinpoint corners.
And former Scotland winger Nevin, who is a Hibs supporter, hopes the relationship that proved so fruitful last term can continue now that Lennon is in charge.
He said: “From Hibernian’s point of view, they’ve got a manager who understands and knows the Scottish game, and understands what kind of club Hibernian are.
“And, also, with a bit of luck for Hibs fans, he’ll keep that good relationship with Celtic going.
Lennon, who has penned a two-year deal, has already admitted his remit for the coming season is to lead Hibs to promotion back to the Premiership.
And Nevin believes the Northern Irishman will rank up alongside some of the club’s greats if he can deliver success.
He told the BBC: “It’s a very interesting appointment and fairly exciting as well.
“It’s going to be another tough season ahead, another season in the Championship. You’ve got Dunfermline, Dundee United, Falkirk, etc. down there as well.
“So, it’s not going to be easy getting out of that, and that’s what his job is going to be, to make sure the team turns up in a positive, fighting manner.
“If they are good enough they’ll get up and he will go into that pantheon of managers who are dearly loved at Hibernian.
“But he has to get them up this season.” |

en | N/A | N/A | Over the last decade we’ve been incredibly fortunate to deliver our presentation consultancy and d who have, in turn, benefitted from truly effective and engaging presentations, backed up by our presentation coaching and training support.
This level of discretion means that we can’t ‘name names’ when sharing some of our recent engagements. However, we believe that a great presentation story is still worth telling (even if the protagonist’s name has been removed).
Whilst the opportunity for CPD providers is huge, the challenges are great and complex.
The second challenge they face comes from governing bodies such as RIBA.
Our client, having been impressed when working with Eyeful in the past, approached us to review the CPD presentation experience they were delivering.
After identifying presentation skills gaps within the team, Eyeful’s modular approach to presentation training allowed us to tailor a bespoke training programme specific to their needs.
Instead of trying to change them as presenters, we concentrated on honing their natural style – making them better at presenting their specific content in a natural and engaging way. |

WPE Investigators will conduct a short surveillance to see if we can detect any contradictory evidence to support your suspicions. This may be carried out in a number of ways depending on the case, for example, we can discreetly canvass the neighbors for information relating to the claimant's activities. We can also watch for signs of activity such as leaving the house for work or going out in the evenings. Depending on what is discovered will determine whether or not our short surveillance will turn into a full surveillance which requires more evidence over a period of time.
WPE Investigations will gather the facts, intelligence, and evidence needed to defend any Insurance Fraud Claim.
One of the foundations of WPE is our long-standing custom of providing investigative brilliance to insurance companies. Our insurance claims investigations include Disability Activity Checks, Background Checks, Alive & Well Checks and Workers Compensation Checks.

It is the hardest tissue in the tooth as well as the human body, in addition to being quite brittle. It is white and translucent; the color of the underlying dentin affects the visible color of the tooth. It is highly mineralized and contains nearly 96% mineral content, mostly hum phosphate. The remainder is water and organic matter.
Enamel covers the visible part of the tooth, and a little under the gum line. The mineral in the enamel and the minerals in the saliva are in equilibrium at the pH level of the mouth’s saliva. However, sugars and carbohydrates in food particles that stick to the teeth and between the gums can be broken down into smaller sugars by acidic bacteria already present. The acidic environment tilts the balance of minerals between saliva and the enamel. As a result, more mineral leaves the enamel than enters it. The enamel gets ’demineralized’ and becomes more porous and susceptible to further etching.
The dental enamels serves asensitivity and infection. Demineralization can be checked by use of fluoride orally or in local application. If the process is allowed to continue unchecked, cavities can form. Enamel is avascular, i.e., does not have any blood supply within it. Therefore, once lost, enamel cannot be replaced. Affected teeth must be restored with fillings immediately to stop further damage which ultimately can result in tooth loss. </s> An artist is a man who tries to create fruits with help of individual abilities.

en | N/A | N/A | One of my favourite contemporary religious writers is a fella by the name of Tex Sample. (And yes, I understand he is actually from, you guessed it…) In 2006, he published a fascinating work entitled “Blue Collar Resistance and the Politics of Jesus: Doing Ministry with Working Class Whites.” Notwithstanding its rather longwinded title, it is an absolutely challenging, provocative, incendiary, and “naughty” work that asks a really brutal and frank question: “why does the contemporary Church have such a tough time “pitching tent” especially among blue collar, working class folks?
Now because this is my social background, I find this work incredibly interesting especially in light of this contemporary social phenomena gripping our society called “woke culture.” A cursory glance from wikipedia roughly, (and very roughly) defines woke culture as a political term of African American origin that’s got something to do with a perceived awareness and concern for social justice.
Now where Tex Sample comes into the picture in this blog is that he is, in my humble estimate, a reasonably intelligent, liberal minded thinker whom nonetheless, fearlessly wades into the murky waters of our “cultural wars,” by “throwing the knife down on the proverbial table,” in declaring:
“if you are on the left of the church, you can get a lot of status and prestige be being “for” certain kinds of things. One of the reasons why some folks hate liberals is that they sense that we care more about our own prestige for being “enlightened” and “progressive” than we care about the issues, and especially the people, on which we have “positions.” (Tex Sample, p.11)
Now this drives me up the wall because I keep hearing from so many people that this is woke culture, is just some kind of contemporary “fad.” – Something only privileged “wasps” feeling guilty with a sense of shame do… So for anyone being labelled as belonging to this woke culture, they tend to get quickly written off as being likely disingenuous and inauthentic, or just plain crazy!
But you see my big problem is that as a Christian, never mind that I’m also an Anglican priest, but as a Christian, when I made my baptismal vows to “seek and serve Christ in all persons,” I was darn serious! I wasn’t fooling around when I got baptized as an adult and when I said those words, I said them before God. Because at the end of the day, and no matter how much I have witnessed Galatians 3.28 get spun by far cleverer people than me, I believe sincerely that those who have “clothed themselves with Christ,” that: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3.28)
Call me naive, but I believe the idea that we ought to care for one another fully and devoutly is not some kind of contemporary fad; but in fact, as Christians, we are moved and empowered by the Holy Spirit from the beginning as St. Paul contends. Hence, as the author of the letter to the Ephesians implores us, we are to be awake! And as a “new creation in Christ,” (2 Corinthians 5.17), we are to be “ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us.” (2 Corinthians 5.20)
Now, of course, I realize that woke culture, is a very complex and complicated and nuanced subject that no blog will certainly exhaust comment upon, but I do contend that it is a good thing to be truly awake! For the opposite is to be asleep. And that where people are genuinely concerned for each other, this is never a bad thing! Perhaps if Jesus was writing a blog in response to being asked to explain woke culture in relation to all the laws of Moses, he would simply respond with the words of Hear, O Israel: |

About Howard: Howard is one of the co-authors of the ground-breaking book
Guy: Howard. Welcome to the show.
Howard: Hey Guy! Good to be with you. I’m glad you have an opportunity for us to get together and chat. I know that, uh, you saw me when I was in Brisbane a couple of years ago, and now I get to be on your show. So this is all really cool. Thank you very much for having me.
Guy: You’re welcome, Howard. And you know, you’ll be shared on something since that day come into your workshop because every time I do a podcast, you know, I’ve seen new people, different guests, all over the world. And I always do the heartmath technique before the show. So I’ll sit, I’ll sit in quiet for five minutes and it always helps me get in state. Why am I doing it? What’s the intention behind it. And, uh, and it works a treat. So I thank you for that gift as well.
Howard: Well, my pleasure, and I’m glad you took that out of the workshop. I was just speaking to a promoter who I’ll be doing the workshop within, uh, April. And I asked her what she wanted me to do and she was telling me, and I said, well, what’s most important to me is that I can provide a lot of really interesting information that expands people and they go, wow. And all that. But really what I focus on is what are they going to remember them when they’re walking to the parking lot? Yeah.
Guy: And that was one of the things that I absolutely now a question I start the show with and I ask everyone on, let’s say, you’re in Australia, mate, you come to a good Aussie barbecue. Nobody knows you. And some stranger walks up to you and says, Hey, what do you do? What would you say?
Howard: Well, I’ll tell them I’m a parrot. You know, I run a chain of nightclubs in Florida. You know what I mean? I just had to say, you know, I’m with the heartmath, I’m an organization based in America. And in California, we are a transformation company. We transform lives. We transform organizations and we do it through a system. We developed this space on the intelligence of the heart and it incorporates tools, techniques, and technology, all under Pam with scientific research. And so I guess the simple way of saying is, I’m just one little guy that’s trying to do what I can to help people through these interesting and sometimes challenging times that we all live in.
Guy: And I have no doubt that would spark off multiple questions that could go off in many different directions.
Howard: Exactly. Right.
Guy: But one, one thing I wanted to ask you, I think for a lot of the listeners that might not be familiar with Heartmath. And I interviewed you say, I’ve heard Greg Braden talk about this as well. Cause you know, he loves your work and promotes it. Um, about initially we always thought the heart was a pump and it kind of just pumps the blood round and does, and does that. And I do question how many people beyond that even to this day, you know, and haven’t put the relationship so well, where did it all sort of start falling into place for you when you started looking at the heart, looking at the properties that are coming beyond?
Howard: Yeah, sure. Let me first say, I think you’re right. I mean, most people think of the heart on a physical level as a blood pump, but there’s also these other references to heart that many people refer to as well about following your heart or listening to your heart or letting your heart be your guide. You know, these kinds of statements that we make. And when you look at heart in a larger sense, historically, you can see that going were writing about the heart as being something intelligent and intelligence that we had. The earliest writings I’ve ever seen, Guy. Were 4,500 years ago from ancient Chinese medicine. Speaking about the hearts, vital intelligent role, sending its intelligent messages through the blood vessels. You know, it was that kind of an approach that they had 4,500 years ago, along the way through understanding the physical heart and its cardiovascular functioning.
Howard: Somehow, you know, an intelligent horse sorta got lost in the process of, you know, medical reductionism, you know, but yet people still intuitively referred to heart in these interesting ways that being intelligent. So early on in my life, as I was beginning of my self discovery processes at age 21, many of the things that are read whatever particular discipline it came from, whatever philosophy or religion or spiritual path, there were often these references to heart that were the most respectful references you could have about what heart was and about how bringing heart forward into life was so important. So I wondered about that and I wondered if this just metaphor, is this just a, you know, an aspect of the brain or mind that people are talking about or is there something more to this? And so working with friends and doc children in particular, who’s the founder of HeartMath, who’s been my friend now for over 40 years, we began to take a look at heart and say, okay, let’s just take it.
Howard: We were just, we were on a self discovery process, right? So we were looking at many different things. And as we focused on harden on manifesting more of the qualities associated with heart in how we lived our lives, we began to discover that there was a really magnificent and unique intelligence that was residing in what we call it heart, that it was the intelligence that often lifted us beyond our, we found that it was an intelligence that was more intuitive in nature. In other words, it worked very high speed. It gave us sort of a direct knowingness. It bypassed a lot of the back and forth that sometimes we go through to reach understanding it also was giving me the ability to do more than I ever thought I could. And it was taking me out of a sort of moan mediocrity and helping me, you know, see that I was a bit more into law and what I was perceiving it to.
Howard: And then I could do more in life than ever thought. I would, all these characteristics and more were coming about through the period of many years of taking a look at heart. Now the interesting sort of chronological part of this story is that doc Chaudri myself and some others were doing this sort of exploration and obscurity. We lived in a rural area and the state of North Carolina, which is in the South of the United States is not a very progressive area at that time in terms of new thought or consciousness or anything like that, you know, and that’s where we were. And so we were kind of out of what I would call the parade. We weren’t being overly influenced by many of the things that were going on. We were in a sense cut off from it. Now that presented some disadvantages, but it provided a unique advantage in that we had to build our own way.
Howard: We had to create our own road into this. And we did that in obscurity for about 15 years before there ever was a heart math, wow. Heart math was an outgrowth of our personal experiences. And we got to a point after a very long time that we felt that maybe we should make an attempt to share what we’d learned. So it wasn’t just this ambition driven process. Well, we know something now let’s go share it because, you know, we got the answer. It wasn’t that at all. It was very mature, sort of ripe and unfold live how we arrived at even deciding to form an organization. When we started heart math, we knew we wanted to position a heart centric approach and a society that could have mainstream impact. We didn’t want it to be just hard, sort of like it had been perceived before, uh, respected, but sort of held up in the confines of spirituality and philosophy that we wanted it to have the ability for people to use it in daily life.
Howard: And it had to be mainstreamed. And that’s where our science came in. That was sort of what I was leading up to here is to say that we recognize that we needed to give heart a more empirical understanding. And we needed to build a bridge between the philosophical understandings of heart and a day to day understanding and application of it. We chose science to be that bridge because in our modern society and the 20th and now 21st century, since we’ve been involved with heart math, science carries all a lot of weight. When science proves something, it makes it truth in a regimented disciplined, empirical process. The power of belief increases dramatically. And so we needed to have belief in the heart increased dramatically. And to do that, we engaged in scientific research. And today I would say that’s probably what we’re most well known for.
Howard: There’s a lot more to hard math than just research, but certainly the research part of what we’ve done has been what’s brought attention to us. And it’s what has contributed to the work of others. You mentioned Gregg Braden, uh, using their work. He’s a longtime friend of me and of HeartMath over 20 years now, Bruce Lipton, Joe Dispenza, we’re all friends. And they have all incorporated aspects of our work into their work. And I was asked in an interview one time, a while back, um, a question I didn’t have a ready answer for the interviewer and excuse me, one second. I’m cutting off email. Uh, the interviewer asked me, um, what heart mass greatest contribution to the world have been thus far. And I didn’t, I said to him, I said, we have validated other people’s belief systems.
Guy: I can still believe it. Like, cause the thing I’ve found is that the science has been a language for me to bridge, to get past the belief system, but then to have faith in the work, because I truly think that’s a big part of it sort of believing in it enough to start stepping into that unknown and the topics that I want to sort of get into today. But if it wasn’t for that science language, I don’t know what I’d be doing with it.
Howard: Well that’s right, exactly. You know, the heart approach, which there’s plenty of good ones and they probably have wonderful, uh, you know, material, but they don’t have the same ability to reach as many people. Um, and the, one of the things about heart math that maybe people know, maybe a lot of your listeners don’t know is that a lot of our work is in very mainstream sectors of society where they heart-based system. Right. Well, who knew, right? Uh, we work in the military, uh, right now there’s a training just completed for example, on a Navy us Navy destroyer, a $4 billion ship is training the sailors on that ship and HeartMath techniques in order for them to be able to maintain operational efficiency in the middle of all the stress that they’re under. We train in police forces, we train in major healthcare systems, large hospital systems training all of their nurses to bring heart math into their work environment. So there’s a lot of mainstream applications that heart math has been able to, to provide without the science, none of that would’ve ever happened.
Guy: Yeah. Wow. That’s incredible. If, um, questions has popped in there, if you are, because the heart’s not just the pump. If you had to do a quick elevator pitch about the heart and like this is this resume, this is what it can do. How could you summarize it?
Howard: Do you mind? That’s right. I thought that could be a good conversation. Yeah, that’s a really cool one. Um, you know, the, what I just described in the elevator pitches have the hardest sending information, uh, other research we’ve done also implies that the heart is receiving information. Yeah. Information processing center would mean a lot of things, both sending and receiving the study you’re talking about is a study called the electrophysiology of intuition study. It was published in a major journal. Um, it was a very large and expensive study to do. And what the researchers were looking at is they were trying to see if that they’re, they could physiologically decode what people refer to as a pre-cognitive response, meaning that we are sensing something before it happens. You know, was there a way to begin to see if that was, it was anything physically could be measured in that regard?
Howard: So the research protocol was set up this way. Uh, t a car accident, someone being stabbed, things like that. ch con, um, to have the right mix, tture, then this picture, then this picture, it was on random selection, right? So test subjects were brought in and they were, umn data and brainwave data. They were getting heart data, uh, art and other data to like the skin temperature change data.
Howard: So a lot of physiological information was being sent back from this test subject. And the way it worked was they’d sit in front of a computer. Um, a message would come up on the computer saying, please press this button. And they would press a button. The screen would stay blank for six seconds after six seconds. One of those pictures, one of those kinds of pictures would show up on the screen, randomly selected by the computer. It would stay on the screen for three seconds and then the screen would go blank again. And after 10 seconds here comes the same message, push the button, right? So they push the button again and the sequence is repeated over and over and over again with each test subject. So that data collected. And then they began to analyze the data, to see what they could determine from it.
Howard: And this is where it got really fascinating. Thas, was acting like the picture was there, but it wasn’t there. Wow. And it was six seconds before the picture actually manifested on the screen that the body was doing what it was going to do if it had been there, right. That was one blow away, the discovery and all of this. The second part of the analysis produced some even more dynamic results. What they found was when they began to look at a , t. First. The heartit was there about a second and a half later.
Howard: In most cases, the respond to the upcoming picture. And then about a second to a second and a half before the picture shows up on the screen, they coupled together what’s called a frequency match. They synchronized at a frequency level and then the picture appears. So it was heart and brain, heart brain combining picture. And the body was, was actually showing that it was, uh, responding to something in the future. Um, so the other thing that was the last part of that analysis, that was pretty cool n the heart lock-in technique, whichwhere you practiced that before shows, right. They were trained to do that. So they do a hard lock-in, which is, their, their experiment.
Howard: In those cases, the people that got into their heart got what we call coherent before they went in there and a much higher incidents of pre, uh, picture responses. Now at the end of the study and the conclusion of the study and the summary, basically what they say, I’ll paraphrase now, nonsense scientifically. But the most of their saying is, is that it appears as if our body is constantly scanning for future events, that it is a intelligence that we have that we’re not aware of, that is always going on. We’re just not aware of it. And then it goes on to imply that we, as we develop that and we develop a very useful new skill in anticipation. And so in our training programs and things like that, and we talk about things like practical intuition, we ground that out. You know what I mean?
Howard: We take it down to what does that mean in your daily life? You know, uh, it means that maybe you determine that it’s not time to speak to that person yet about a particular subject, or if you are going to speak to them, maybe it begins to inform you about the type of words to use. You know, it can inform you about a person to hire, for example, in a business setting and whether this person is better than that other person, they have the same level of resume. I mean, there’s all kinds of ways that intuition plays out. The cool thing though, is it shows that it certainly lends itself to the possibility that the heart is actually pulling in information from another field of, uh, of information, the quantum field, which is beyond time and space and the intuitive field, which would be a direct knowingness, a type of knowingness that is different than logical linear intelligence. And that the heart is playing a key role in bringing that intelligence into our system.
Howard: Lauren, it becomes a matter of learning to listen, to and follow the promptings of the heart. And that requires several things. And that’s what our techniques help people do that we teach. I mean, you have to begin to slow down the roar of the mind and, you know, you have to slow down the vibratory rate of the mind and the emotions in order to, for that to happen. Um, you have to learn to better, uh, I’ll use the term regulate the wonderful gift of the emotion. And the term is very intentional in that I’m not suggesting any sort of repression, but you learn to make better, more efficient, emotional choices rather than the mechanical, emotional choices of like judging someone who you don’t like because of the way they look rather than being more neutral about that. Or maybe even having compassion because you don’t know what their life is like.
Howard: You know, it’s like, there’s all kinds of ways. We make emotional choices at, at high speed moment to moment, day to day, as we learned to find that flow with emotional choices and really began to sort of merge the mind with more of the feelings of the heart. What that does is that begins to open us up to intuition and then intuition sort of becomes natural intuition. As I said, can be very practical. It isn’t just a great discovery. That’s intuition it. Isn’t just the big aha moment where we get this insight that reshapes our life forever. It is those moment to moment, day to day choices and intuition, I think is always, there is weird tagging into it and not into it, we’re in and out of access, but the field itself is there all the time. And as we learn to slow things down and become more sensitive and we practice that over time, it’s not an overnight thing, but as you practice that over time, you become more naturally intuitive.
Howard: And then things begin to synchronize a bit more. That’s when we have these synchronous events in our life, that kind of our funny desk where we sort of chuckle and laugh that this happened, it is when we have the ability to, um, to better discriminate the needs of others and the needs of the whole, rather than our own self centric needs. To me, that’s a form of intuition, a sensing, a sensitivity that comes through intuition in the form of extra care or compassion or love that allows us to sort of play in life in a different way. One practical example of intuition that I will offer an offer with a gesture of respect and honor it’s parenting. I’m not a parent, but I’m observe it. And when I watch how a parent mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, whatever is working with a child, who’s not fully able to communicate everything yet. And they are having to slow down their mind and emotions and tune in to that child to determine what this child is trying to say or what it needs. And to give that moment to moment direction all the time in a parenting process, every waking moment that they’re with that child, they’re playing that game. Nobody sees that as intuitional I do is so sensitive, it is so intuitive. And yet it’s such a natural part of life or other parts of life can have the same characteristics.
Howard: It simplifies, you know, complexity is wonderful for entertaining and keeping us stimulated, but often simplicity is the answer is simplicity is sort of like complexity that got crunched into something we can use and it does require slowing down. And there’s a lot of talk about being in the now and all of that. And I think that’s a in mindfulness, uh, those are kinds of things trying to sort of slower stand and put us more into the moment. And all of that. I think that, you know, the now is not absolute. I don’t believe there’s a place we get to all the time where there is no feature. There is no past, but there’s a presence that we can have about what’s going on in the moment. Um, I don’t think it was the trip that we’re, you saw me in Australia, but the trip before that I was on the plane, I was flying down to Sydney, you know, salmon, some thoughts.
Howard: And I was thinking about some of these things that people say about me and how they introduced me on shows and things. And they call me all this wild stuff. You know, evolutionary leader is that, and the other visionary, all this stuff that was going, look, I don’t know if I really want to be that or not, you know? And then, and then the dialogue and sat goes, or what do you want to be? And I said, you know, I want to be in, I think what I really am is an aspiring now list. I’m trying to be more present in the moment with whoever I’m with and whatever I’m doing. So today, right now in this moment for everybody listening, uh, my day has been very busy guys morning for you. You’re starting your day. I’m late afternoon. I’ve been through a series of long complex meetings back to back meetings and phone calls in the middle of that.
Howard: And there’s emails that are coming in and stacking up as we speak. So I have to like make that shift quickly so that when I’m doing this, that stuff doesn’t matter anymore. What happened then is not important to me. Whatever’s in the email box. It’is me connecting with you and with the people that are watching our conversation. That’s what I’m talking about by being more present in the moment is being able to filter it out, all that other stuff so that I can make the most of whatever experience I’m having at any given time.
Guy: I love it. You did it triggered another thought right there, mate, it’s that letting go? Like, do you find from doing this work and obviously you’ve been doing it a long time, that it’s much easier to have non attachment to things that can happen because we can hold it on for weeks and people hold on for years sometimes for this thing, right?
Howard: Well, yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s another learned skill. It’s, it’s some things that are work on all the time that I’ll work on my whole life. Really, uh, the term we have forwarded heart math is learning to take the significance out. You know, there are events and then there’s the emotional investment we have in that, you know, and how much emotional investment we put into it, determines how significant it is. And when we can learn to have a more balanced approach to him, how significant we’re going to make something. That’s when we begin to get the ability to sort of merge urge from me at the, at the speed at which I have to live to perform the duties that I have is part of my mission in life and what I do here at HeartMath in that mission, I cannot make everything significant. I’ve had to learn that if for no other reason than to survive, to be able to maintain a certain level of inner peace in the midst of that.
Howard: Because if I made everything a big deal, yeah, I couldn’t handle it. And so I know now that you mentioned a humorous thought the other night as well, you know, there was this book called don’t sweat, the small stuff, right. You know, very popular series. And I was thinking about after the day I’d been through with all the different things that would come up, I was about it. I’m almost ready to write a book called don’t sweat the big stuff, because take the significance out of anything. Right. You know, this didn’t go the way I wanted it to, and this is bad. This is not going to work out. And that’s normal, it’s a part of being human. So they’re going to be there and you work them out over time, but I don’t have to add to that.
Guy: Yeah. No, that’s, that’s great. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I love it. I love it. Um, I just said, just think of things that I’m finding as I do the work continuously, that’s been hard.
Guy: Correct? Yeah. I’ll just stop my video Howard. One sec. See if that helps the internet. There we go.
Howard: Can you hear me? Okay. Now, can you hear me? Yep. You’re there now.
Guy: Okay, beautiful. Sorry. Could you repeat the last part?
Howard: Yeah. I was going to say, you know, you talk about taking significance out. I mean, you’re you share with me before we went live, that you are in a transitional phase that you’ve sold a company you were involved in, you’ve taken on some new ventures. You’re, you’re starting a New York podcast, a different direction in your life. You’re following your own intuitive art. Right. You know, making changes. Yeah. And sometimes those things can get hard. They can be real significant, but you’re finding a way through that. Uh, and creating something really new and exciting for your life and for the lives of others. So it’s cool.
Howard: 40 to 60 times, more powerful than electromagnetically speaking. Yeah. Yeah.
Guy: What influence does that have on each other? Is that a, is there any studies around that?
Howard: Uh, yeah, it’s the direction our research has gone in. I mean, over these years for anybody interested in research, by way, that’s watching us go to heartmath.org. We have two sites, a for profit company, which I’m executive vice president of and a nonprofit, the nonprofit does the scientific research and other things as well, underserved working with children, et cetera. But if you go to heartmath.org site, and if you click on the research tab, you’ll see, you’ll stay busy for a long time. You know, with research, we understand a lot about individual, heart, brain, body communication, synchronization, the effects of heart math techniques and organizational settings and all that stuff. Now we move into social coherence, collective coherence. How does all this play out as we interface with one another and with the earth itself? So yes, we are all energetically connected, all living things on this planet and beyond are all , the strongest energetic, so to speak that we have as our hearts, it’s the strongest source of bio electricity in our body.
Howard: It produces an electromagnetic field extends around us and 360 degrees and extends outside of the body about, I use us measurement three to four feet outside of the body. And that field is constantly changing the image. The information in the field, the frequencies in the field is constantly changing all the time. And what changes that information is our emotional state. As we shift the emotional state, the field information changes, we go from frustration to feeling peaceful, big change. You go from anger to feeling joyful, huge change. You know, we’re broadcasting this information. So yeah, we are influencing one another. Um, we are doing lots of studies now on social coherence, the only influence that we are having on one another, we are also doing research on the energetic connections between things like us in the earth. Uh, we’re doing a major study of sounds kind of squishing.
Howard: Woo. But it really isn’t when you dig in, we’re doing a study on understanding trees and the energetic components of trees and their changes, electromagnetically and electrically, and how we are being influenced by and influencing them. And so that’s the type of research that’s going on right now. So we’re putting together a new whole body of research on what we call social coherence or group coherence. There’ll be new training programs, new HeartMath technology, all based around this research, as it continues to unfold. The next step is understanding in a sense we’re all in this together that we are all part of a big process. That’s unfolding a big shift in consciousness and that we are not alone, that we are influencing one another. We are supporting in one in one way or another one another. And that there is this connection. So people believe that many of your listeners probably say, yeah, I, I understand that I’ve known it, none of that for years.
Guy: Why things like group meditation can seem more powerful, profound.
Guy: Will you be making more trips to Australia as well?
Guy: Have one more question for you before we change gears into a little bit of topic.
Guy: That we can struggle to follow our own heart.
Howard: Good question. Um, first of all, I have to say that the so-called value I call it, the voice of the heart is often quieter than the roar of the mind. That’s one reason. The second reason would be that what our heart’s telling us is not always where our personality wants to hear. Did you get that part now? Okay. So what I was saying, the second reason would be that what our hearts prompting us to do or not do is often not what our personality wants to hear. So it’s, we sort of write it off, you know, because it’s going, yes, what we, you think we want, you know, the heart’s got wisdom in there that ends up being the best for us, but our personalities don’t always want to accept that. Um, and then lastly, there’s just a lot of speed going on in life right now.
Howard: And it’s hard to find our footing. Uh, the speed of change is accelerating so dramatically and it’s not going to get any slower anytime soon. And there’s just so much going on so much to do not enough time to do it in so much information, coming at us from all different angles all the time. And it just gets hard to find a time when you can really feel like you can step back a little bit and have a talk with your heart. And that’s why it’s hard, but not only that the world itself, I mean, in general, I’ll say the world itself is not supporting a heart based approach. Now that’s changing and it’s changing pretty quickly actually. And there is actually a, my opinion in a movement of, of adding heart and taking place in the world. People all over the world in different ways are manifesting more of the qualities of the heart and putting them into their beliefs, their actions, their collective actions, a lot of ways of which an add heart and movement is unfolding.
Howard: A lot of the rural can ride hard off, but it’s getting stronger and stronger and more people are choosing a way associated in general with heart of how they’re going to live their lives, what they value, what changes they want to see in themselves, what changes they want to see in the world and society. A lot of it is being driven by, uh, emergence of heart in a new way. And that’s my part of the mission right now. My biggest part, everybody in heart math, really, but I’m not a scientist scientist role McCrady and just a magnificent team that does that. Put myself out into the world to try to create a movement of adding heart, to inspire people, to recognize they have this magnificent part of themselves. And if they make contact with it, life’s going to get better for them. And then they’ve got a lot more to give to others.
Howard: What tips could you give them? I think the tip out offered today is when you found yourself in places like that, the starting point for getting out would be to have compassion for yourself. In other words, you know, we can say I’m depressed, I’m sad, I’m upset. And then that can lead to self judgment. Uh, it can lead to a sense of hopelessness that things are never going to get better. That you’re not good enough for you don’t get it, or you’ve tried and you continue to not continue to fail and all that. And all that is simply making the process worse. At some point, you need to turn that around and get the energy going back the other direction. One of the best ways to do that is to say, look, wait a minute. I’m okay. I have a talk with a little dude here, a little dude, you know, you’re all right, you’re doing the very best you can.
Howard: That dig has got to stop at some point, or you’ll never going to pop back out the other side. So start out with, with that self compassion piece. Um, if that’s too hard to do, I’ll offer a secondary tip. It’s like, look for something in your life or something in general to appreciate appreciation can be easier than compassionate sometimes. And no matter how tough our life is, there’s always some things we can’t appreciate a story. I just remembered, uh, from a school teacher who uses heart math in her classes who, uh, lives in a very impoverished area in Brooklyn, New York had a child and she was trying to get him to appreciate, and he came from a terrible home life and there was nothing about his home life or his life in general that he could appreciate. And so she was walking down a street with him on a early spring day when winter was just subsiding.
Howard: And he noticed, he looked over and he noticed a Rose starting to come out on a wild Rose Bush by fence. And he looked at that Rose and she focused him on that Rose. She said, look at that Rose look at beautiful. That is, you know, can you appreciate that Rose? And a little boy, he could appreciate that Rose. And he began to smile and she took that and she began to work with him in that way to get him to see that there were things around him that he could appreciate. And that’s an extreme example, but for most of us, even when times are tough, we can find something to appreciate in life. And that’s a turnaround. I miss turning things around again, that’s helping to shift and move on is to say whatever about the problem. I’m going to appreciate the fact that I’m alive. I’m going to appreciate the fact that, you know, I’ve got something to eat tonight and I’m looking forward to you. I’m going to appreciate, you know, my dog, you know, I’m going to appreciate so many things that we can appreciate even in the times when life seems to be doing this the wrong way.
Howard: Early in my life. My whole entire passion was music and I was a drummer and I started playing drums when I was very young, like nine years old. And by the time I enrich my early twenties, I had fortuitously found my way into the mainstream music business and was playing with people that had records out. And I did that for 12 years. All my identity was tied up in that, right? It’s all really new. And it’s all I really thought I was supposed to be doing. But along the way, as my own spiritual enfoldment was beginning to take place, it stopped making as much sense. And I’ll reach the point where my heart promptings were strong enough. They were telling me I needed to really stop this. I needed to let go of this little league rockstar stuff and get on with life. But I did not want to listen to my heart about that.
Howard: It f in, in my world, in the music business that was forcing me to make that choice. And I had to make a choice between moving forward in a, with a band and a record deal situation that I knew was wrong or taking a, um, um, a moral stand and possibly having to leave the choice came for me to leave and to leave the music business. And the day that I did that and the drama that went on around it, I went and I sat down on a flight of stairs at dock shoulder’s house. And I startednna do. No idea what life could be for me. And I just walked away from everything that I thought I worked and I was devastated. And it was hard when I look back at it today, it was the very best single decision I ever made.
Howard: Every best that’s decision you and I would not be doing this today. You know, I wouldn’t be somewhere else and probably not very happy. And, uh, I can’t be thankful enough that I made that decision and I had helped to make it through. I had friends. I had people working to help me see the, what I should do there, but nobody would tell me what to do. And that was the beauty of it. It was my choice to make, and I had to make it or not. And I did. And today it’s the best choice I ever made.
Guy: Would that be safe to say, then that’s the first time you followed your heart?
Howard: Not necessarily the first time, but I’ll tell you the feeling that I had afterwards was a feeling of empowerment, a feeling of something lifting in me. Like maybe for the first time, I’d really become a man. Then I’d stepped up and I’m really done something that was the right thing to do the courageous thing to do the thing that was going to make the most sense, to be honest, life didn’t reward me quickly for that decision. There was a process of going through some tough times for a long time after that. So it wasn’t that I got instantaneous reward because I was such a good boy. Um, but there was a feeling inside a deeper feeling in me that what I had done was the right thing to do. Yeah. That was empowering. That felt empowering.
Guy: Love it. Yeah. Um, next question. If you could have dinner with anyone tonight, they don’t lie. Who would it be and why?
Howard: Well, I’m having to think about that. You know, there’s so many great people in the world and so many magnificent people and some of the ones that I’ve really admired are no longer with us. You know, I would have loved to sat now with Nelson Mandela and a dinner with him. You know what I mean? Just to see what that dude was all about, you know? Uh, he’s certainly a great man. And, um, you know, it, isn’t, when I think about answering a question like that, it isn’t so much about whether the person is same or not. It’s about the essence of who they are. And there’s so many people in the world today that nobody will ever know about. There’s some beautiful, beautiful souls people that I’m sure I would love and be honored to have dinner with. And they may have ordinary jobs on the outside, but they’re extraordinary on the inside.
Howard: So I can’t really just answer that question in the moment when I’m sorry, but there’s so many different angles and ways to go with that. I’ve had the good fortune of meeting many, many famous people. And in some cases I would have to say that, you know, the meeting with the famous person, uh, was a disappointment and then I’ve had other times when it expectation, you know, um, I spent a part of a summer, I think it was 2004 working on a project about the life of the boxer, George Foreman. Wow. And he was just wonderful, man. He had this big smile on his big heart. And at the time he was, um, one of the most respected brands in America. You know, everybody believed in, loved in George and all that. And he, and he was extremely wealthy by then. And he’d been through a lot of ups and downs in his life and a member of the first meeting that I had with him.
Howard: He had me come to his house and he treated me so graciously and sitting in his kitchen with him for a number of hours. And he was such a kind man, and everything that you booze being, he would project like, you know, when he was doing a commercial on TV that bothered George Foreman grill, you know what I mean? All that. It’s like, it was that whole essence that you were resonating with when he did, that was 10 times stronger in person. And yet he was very humble. He didn’t have a lot of education and things like that. He was just a really good man that cared and respected other human beings. And I remember standing at the airport after that going, you know, that was a time when I met somebody who’s famous. That was, it was way better than I thought it is funny about those things sometimes. So it isn’t about fame and fortune. It’s really bad essence.
Guy: Totally. Couldn’t agree. More. Couldn’t agree. More. And our last question is there with everything we’ve covered today,Howard: Yeah, I think so. I think that, you know, um, I’d like to see people recognize more of who they really are and the power that they have inside to first of all, change their own life, uh, and to have a better, more fulfilling life. Um, and then also to make a contribution to help to usher in this new world that’s happening in any way. But to assure Dan and a kinder, gentler process to me that does have a lot to do with heart and with manifesting the qualities of the heart are what we call our heart math, the intelligence of the heart. There are ways you can do that, that have nothing to do with heart math. Um, there are ways to do that, that have something to do with us. Uh, I have a program, for example, not just trying to pitch a program, but just if people are inspired and become an add heart facilitator, it’s not expensive, you get some training and some technology and ways in which you can share that and you join with others, who’ve done the same and you become a contributing member in a sense to this movement in the world of adding heart.
Howard: You know, so I think that, you know, recognizing first of all, that there’s something that each and every one of us has inside that, uh, that we can tap into that will help us navigate these changing times and Ken latest to more fulfillment. And that part of that fulfillment for me, at least. And I think for many people is not just having it for sales, but sharing it with others. And so I think that’s what I like to say is recognize that you’re who you are more access more of your own heart’s intelligence, which is your own best friend and to take it forward into the world, share it.
Guy: Thanks for that, Howard. That’s a great note to end on mate. If everyone that’s listening to this today wants to learn more about your work and HeartMath where can I say?
Guy: Beautiful. Well, I’ll be sure to link to everything Howard, and I just want to acknowledge everything that you do with heart math. And, um, it’s been a big influence on my own life personally as well. And I certainly fly the flag and love promoting your work. And, um, it’s been an honor having you on the show today. Just to share some wisdom.
Howard: Well, thank you Guy! Very much for having me stay in touch. We’ll do more as this unfolds. I wish you all the best and I wish everybody is listening all the best for giving us your time and your attention to listen to our conversation. And I hope your life unfolds for you in some really fulfilling ways.
Guy: Totally. Thank you, Howard. |

Diabetes affects the entire human body. Millions of people are afflicted by this dreadful condition. In the U.S. alone, more than twenty five million people were found to be diabetic in 2010. More than fifty million were speculated to have health conditions that would lead to diabetes in a few years. isorders of the eye.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder. It is characterised by a high concentration of sugar in the blood. This is also known as hyperglycemia. Diabetes results because the body does not secrete enough insulin .insulin is a hormone which is required to assimilate glucose and store it in the body as glycogen. Diabetes may also result due tosecreted. Diabetes has plagued humanity since thousands of years. Records of diabetes have been found in manuscripts from the year 1500 B.C.E. Diabetes is accompanied by three easily recognisable symptoms .excessive urination, excessive hunger and excessive thirst.
Diabetes is a major cause of eye diseases. The high level of sugar in the blood causes a swelling in the eye lens. This affects an persons ability to see. If you are experiencing blurred vision, then you should check yourself for diabetes. This is just you of the eye diseases diabetes causes. The effects of this situation are not permanent .the vision usually returns to normal if blood sugar levels are controlled.
There are more serious eye diseases diabetes causes. Eye cataract is you of them. A cataract looks like a whitish film on the pupil of the eye. The eye lens loses its ability to focus. This results in blurred vision and seriously affects ones ability to see. A cataract generally needs to be treated via surgery.
Another you of the major eye diseases diabetes causes is glaucomadetect it in the early stages. Often, Glaucoma is detected only in its advanced stage and so makes it difficult to reverse its effects. If you are diabetic, then you must periodically check your eyes for glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition where a swollen lens prevents eye fluids from being drained. This fluid gets trapped inside and causes blood vessels to become damaged. This can lead to permanent los of vision. There is another less serious type of glaucoma. It is accompanied by symptoms like headaches, sharp pain in the eyes and blurred vision.
Retinopathy is one of the most dreaded eye diseases that diabetes causes. The retina is a part of the eye which has a number of cone shaped and rod shaped cells. These cells transmit signal to the brain through the optic nerve and this is how we perceive images. Retinopathy refers to a condition which causes damage to these cells. Retinopathy also includes the much feared disease of macular degeneration.
The eye diseases diabetes causes can be prevented by getting regular eye checkups. Also, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very helpful to control diabetes and the eye diseases related to it.

en | N/A | N/A | Summary of Catherine Croft’s Deposition Testimony
Saturday, November 16, 2019, 4:03 PM
Foreign service officer Catherine Croft30.After Croft accepted her position advising Ambassador Kurt Volker in July 2019, she became aware for the first time that Volkerere in contact. She, however, was “generally unaware” of what Volker and Giuliani spoke about, and Croft asserted that she never had any contact with Giuliani. Later in her testimony, Croft noted that she deliberately stayed out of Volker’s activities related to Giuliani and that “a couple times he mentioned sort of a need to get this Giuliani line of effort, sort of, off the table, so we can get on with the business of our actual policy.”
Croft stated that she was notshe did later receive a readout of the call. Based on this readout, she understood the call to focus on schedulingCroft said she was involved in the decision in 2017 to provide lethal defensive assistance—specifically, Javelin anti-tank missiles—to Ukraine to use in their efforts against Russian aggression. She stated that the decision to provide the assistance went through the Policy Coordination Committee process and was approved at all lower levels but that, at the Principals Committee level, OMB put a hold on the decision. The hold lasted a week or two. Majority counsel Daniel Goldman asked if Croft understood why OMB placed the hold, and Croft responded, “I understood the reason to be a policy one.” Based on a briefing she did with Mulvaney, she understood that the question centered around whether When asked how other agencies reacted to the hold, Croft said that all of the policy agencies were in support of providing the Javelins and that Gen. H.R. McMaster, Gen. James Mattis, and Secretary of State Tillerson had all agreed that the U.S. should provide the Javelins to Ukraine. She said that OMB’s decision to object, and to do so on a policy basis, was “highly unusual.” Later in the deposition, Croft noted that she had never before heard of OMB injecting itself into a pure policy decision-making process.
Croft stated that she was asked, along with her colleague Richard Hooker, to brief Mulvaney on the decision to provide the Javelins. They did so, telling him that the policy process had worked, that the potential issues had been discussed and that the agencies were in agreement about providing the Javelins. Croft stated that, during the meeting, they discussed Mulvaney’s concerns about Russia’s reaction to providing the Javelins. When asked whether Mulvaney referenced the president’s views during their conversation, Croft answered that he did not. But, she testified, it was well known that Trump was skeptical of providing weapons to Ukraine because after then-President Petro Poroshenko expressed his desire for Javelins to Trump, Trump stated that he thought the country was corrupt and was rich enough to pay for the weapons itself. According to Croft, a day or two after her meeting with Mulvaney, the hold was lifted.
The committee chairman asked whether Croft thought there may have been factors behind the hold that were related to investigations Trump wanted Ukraine to do or work that Trump wanted Ukraine to refrain from doing in connection to the Mueller investigation. Croft stated that she was not aware of a connection, but she added that OMB’s decision to hold the Javelin decision came as a surprise.
Moving to her original decision to take a job working on Ukraine in the Trump administration, Croft mentioned that she hesitated originally because she thought it was possible the Trump administration would change its Ukraine policy to suit domestic politics. In May, before Croft went to Kyiv, she had a conversation with Ambassador William Taylor when he was considering accepting his own current position as acting ambassador to Ukraine. He had asked for the department’s views because he was concerned that America’s policy to support Ukraine might change. Croft recalls telling him that U.S. policy might change if Trump thought that Biden was a credible rival in the 2020 election. According to Croft, the narrative that Russia was for the Republicans and Ukraine was for the Democrats was in Trump’s interest and might push him to change his policy on Ukraine. Otherwise, Croft thought U.S. policy would not change.
Croft also recalled that she helped organize a meeting between Volker and Attorney General William Barr rens, though she was not sure if the meeting took place. Volker asked her to set up the meeting, so she emaiuce Swartz, to try to set up the meeting. She said that Swartz indicated to her that she should have Volker call him. She said she repeatedly reminded Volker to call Swartz and was unsure whether Volker and Swartz ever connected.
Regarding the security assistance that was held by OMB, Croft stated that she believed the aid eventually would be released because of bipartisan support in Congress and because of the “questionable sort of legality” of OMB putting on an informal hold. Croft said that she hoped the hold would not become public because it might undermine Ukraine policy. But she thought it was inevitable that word would get out, particularly because members of Congress learned about the hold. Volker and Croft briefed on Ukraine issues. Croft not in Washington, D.C., contacted her about the hold. The two calls, Croft recounted, were roughly a week apart and were both before the Aug. 28 Politico article that reported on the hold. She noted her surprise that the Ukrainians knew of the hold at that time—she felt they found out much earlier than she expected them to. According to Croft, the Ukrainians did not want the hold to become public because it “.”
Croft was asked about the call between Presidents Zelensky and Trump. Croft said that the Javelins referenced in the call were not part of the U.S.’s security assistance as had been the case in the past but, rather, would be purchased with Ukrainian national funds.
Croft then was asked about the readout she received of the meeting between Ambassadors Volker, Sondland and Taylor and President Zelensky. Taylor and Volker gave her the readout. Her notes of the readout, based on her recollection, included that Zelensky raised investigations multiple times and that she wrote, “no mention of B” but could not remember what B stood for. She guessed that it stood for Barr, Biden or Burisma. The investigations, according to Croft, included an investigation into the pand an investigation into potential Ukrainian support for Biden or a conflict of interest with Biden and Burisma.
In response to questions from the minority regarding her hopes for scheduling a meeting at the White House, Croft stated that she believed that if Trump and Zelensky met face to face they would get along and that Trump might change his view that Ukraine is a corrupt country. That would, in turn, resolve Trump’s concerns about corruption and would hopefully lead to lifting the hold on security assistance.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — The civil administration of the strategic city of Tabqa is going to be handed over to Tabqa’s city council, the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in Syria announced on Sunday, as a monitoring group has reported anti-ISIS coalition ground forces advancing on three northern axes towards Raqqa.
YPG’s press office announced that after its forces have cleaned [ISIS] remnants from Tabqa, an alliance between security forces and the civil administration of Tabqa’s city council will be formed to protect the region.
Ground forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced it had concluded a 50-day operation that resulted in the retaking of Tabqa airport, dam and city from ISIS on May 10.
The YPG statement added that the dam is a Syrian national institutional that will serve all areas of the country.
The primarily Kurdish YPG and the Syrian Arab Coalition comprise the SDF, which is the US-led international coalition’s partnered ground force in northern Syria.
The Coalition had announced on May 10 that a few neighborhoods in Tabqa still contained ISIS resistance.
With the taking of Tabqa, ground forces will be able to concentrate on ridding ISIS from its de facto capital of Raqqa about 40 kilometers to the northeast.
"The arming of the Syrian Democratic Forces is going to be very important for the liberation of Raqqa. We want to make sure that the Syrian Arab Coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces have the weapons and the equipment that they need there to be successful against ISIS, the Coalition's spokesperson US Col Ryan Dillon told Rudaw on Friday.
"These are weapons that will be metered out to the Syrian Democratic Forces for their assault, for their liberation of Raqqa,” Dillon added.
The US-led coalition officials told Rudaw English it had seen “open source” reports of written agreement between the SDF and the coalition guaranteeing that SDF would be the only force to liberate Raqqa; however, the official said they were not able to confirm their validity.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based observatory group reported on Monday clashes between advancing SDF ground forces and ISIS fighters on multiple axes around Raqqa.
The reported clashes were four kilometers northeast of Raqqa, eight kilometers to the north, and 13 kilometers to the northwest of the ISIS stronghold.
SOHR added that the Coalition was supporting the operations with shelling and “US special forces.”

en | N/A | N/A | UTRUST (UTK) Price Prediction 2020 – 2025
As the popularity of cryptocurrencies grew over the past decade, so did the need for crypto holders to find ways to use them. Many of them are continually looking to find ways to make payments for services or products that haven’t implemented crypto payment methods. This is where Utrust comes into play.
Launched in 2017, Utrust is a platform combined with multiple blockchain networks that aim to offer better payment supports for merchants as well as users. Merchants will have the option to make better integration of cryptos in their existing payment system. At the same time, useay for the products or services. In many ways, Utrust is compared with PayPal as a revolutionary system that aims to improve the outdated payment methods.
Another aspect of that that most popular cryptocurrencies suffer from is the duration of the transactions. Newer currencies don’t have that problem, but as they grow, the scalability may start to slow down transaction times. Utrust remedies that by ensuring that each transaction is almost instant. That way, the merchant gets the funds immediately, and the user receives the product or service.
The speed of the transactions is closely related to the crypto market volatility, so that is another aspect that Utrust managed to sort out. Since the transactions are almost instant, the conversion is calculated by the price at that moment, meaning that the price will not be able to change drastically as with other slower payment methods.
The final aspect that Utrust managed to fix in an already complicated payment system is the wallet. Users that hold multiple types of coinmultiple wallets. Utrust assures its users that their wallet is the only one they’ll need for on-chain and off-chain transactions.
What is Utrust token (UTK)?
Utrust price analysis of the past several years
Let’s take a look at the Utrust price analysis for the past several years.
These past few months, we have seen another increase in Utrust coin price where a spike in August put it over $0.2, which started to drop gradually. Another spike in UTK price was noticed a few weeks ago, reaching $0.18. The price today, when this article is written, is $0.126 after seeing a drop of almost 6% early this morning.
Utrust price prediction for 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025
Making predictions for cryptocurrencies is not a simple task, so out Utrust price prediction may not be very accurate but should give you a decent insight.
Based on the Utrust price analysis for the past years, in general, we should expect the Utrust coin price to rise steadily. If previous years are anything to go by, Q2 and Q3 are the part of the year where UTK gets a slight spike before settling down, usually at a price slightly higher than before the spike.
If we look at things in the long run, then we should start to see the increase. Market volatility is something to be expected and based on how things are, we may begin to see more and more spikes in the future. Since we noticed that slight bumps in price go in favor of the overall average of UTK price, we should expect an increase in price by the end of 2025.
By the end of this year, predict that Utrust coin price will start to get closer to $0.2 and even manage to pass that mark. As for the following years, from 2021 to 2025, we believe that we should start to see some exponential price increase. For 2021 and 2022, the price will probably increase by $0.1, while in the following three years, we predict to see a larger increase by up to $0.2 per year. In other words, we expect the price of the Utrust token to reach numbers closed to $0.7 on an average base. This makes UTK a substantial investment in the long run.

When Else was gone, he left the window and sat down in his place before
the table again, to wait for the child to come back. He touched the
place where Nina had lain, very gently, and he recalled the softly
tinted pink face, and the glass eyes, and the ringlets of yellow hair,
till he could almost see them.
The evenings were long, for it was late in the spring. But it began to
grow dark soon, and Mr. Puckler wondered why Else did not come back. She
had been gone an hour and a half, and that was much longer than he had
expected, for it was barely half a mile from Belgrave Square to Cranston
House. He reflected that the child might have been kept waiting, but as
the twilight deepened he grew anxious, and walked up and down in the dim
workshop, no longer thinking of Nina, but of Else, his own living child,

for some kinds of mending. But somehow he could not find the matches in
Something had happened to Else, he was sure, and as his fear increased,
he felt as though it might be allayed if he could get a light and see
what time it was. Then he called himself a foolish old man again, and
the sound of his own voice startled him in the dark. He could not find
The window was grey still; he might see what time it was if he went
close to it, and he could go and get matches out of the cupboard
afterwards. He stood back from the table, to get out of the way of the
chair, and began to cross the board floor.
Something was following him in the dark. There was a small pattering, as
of tiny feet upon the boards. He stopped and listened, and the roots of
his hair tingled. It was nothing, and he was a foolish old man. He made
two steps more, and he was sure that he heard the little pattering
again. He turned his back to the window, leaning against the sash so
that the panes began to crack, and he faced the dark. Everything was
quite still, and it smelt of paste and cement and wood-filings as usual.
"Is that you, Else?" he asked, and he was surprised by the fear in his
There was no answer in the room, and he held up his watch and tried to
make out what time it was by the grey dusk that was just not darkness.
So far as he could see, it was within two or three minutes of ten
o'clock. He had been a long time alone. He was shocked, and frightened
for Else, out in London, so late, and he almost ran across the room to
the door. As he fumbled for the latch, he distinctly heard the running
of the little feet after him.
He shut it quickly behind him, and felt as though some cold thing had
settled on his back and were writhing upon him. The passage was quite
dark, but he found his hat and was out in the alley in a moment,
breathing more freely, and surprised to find how much light there still
was in the open air. He could see the pavement clearly under his feet,
and far off in the street to which the alley led he could hear the
laughter and calls of children, playing some game out of doors. He
wondered how he could have been so nervous, and for an instant he
thought of going back into the house to wait quietly for Else. But
instantly he felt that nervous fright of something stealing over him
again. In any case it was better to walk up to Cranston House and ask
the servants about the child. One of the women had perhaps taken a fancy
to her, and was even now giving her tea and cake.
He walked quickly to Belgrave Square, and then up the broad streets,
listening as he went, whenever there was no other sound, for the tiny
footsteps. But he heard nothing, and was laughing at himself when he
rang the servants' bell at the big house. Of course, the child must be

in that house, because she had not been there, which was a jolly good

wished to be allowed to speak to the under nurse, who knew him; but the
When the doll doctor was alone in the street, he steadied himself by the
railing, for he felt as though he were breaking in two, just as some
dolls break, in the middle of the backbone.
Presently he knew that he must be doing something to find Else, and that
gave him strength. He began to walk as quickly as he could through the
streets, following every highway and byway which his little girl might
have taken on her errand. He also asked several policemen in vain if
they had seen her, and most of them answered him kindly, for they saw
that he was a sober man and in his right senses, and some of them had
little girls of their own.
It was one o'clock in the morning when he went up to his own door
again, worn out and hopeless and broken-hearted. As he turned the key in
the lock, his heart stood still, for he knew that he was awake and not
dreaming, and that he really heard those tiny footsteps pattering to
meet him inside the house along the passage.
But he was too unhappy to be much frightened any more, and his heart
went on again with a dull regular pain, that found its way all through

en | N/A | N/A | Many residents of Buffalo choose to ride for pleasure, nostalgia, or even just to get around.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Buffalo
Accidents can happen in a variety of ways out on the roadarticularly impact motorcyclists and could lead to severe harm. Our Buffalo motorcycle accident lawyers have provided summaries of a few of these situations below.
Drivers who are operating on multi-lane roads and highways are responsible for identifying where vehicles might be that might not be visible in their rearview mirrors. This is a serious problem that plagues motorcyclists in particular, who take up much less space and therefore are often harder to spot.
Motorcyclists cannot come to a complete stop in the same fashion as an ordinary car. This makes it so important that drivers always indicate when they intend to stop or turn through use of their turn signals and hazards. Riders are also much more susceptible to the consequences of a rear-end collision than a driver or passenger in a car.
Motorcycle manufacturers are responsible for putting a product on the road that functions as intended. Since motorcycles do not have the safety features of a traditional personal vehicle, such as seat belts and air bags, it is that much more important that the rest of the vehicle functions correctly. Otherwise, the manufacturer incurs liability for the consequences. It is difficult to identify manufacturing defects without the seasoned eye of a Buffalo motorcycle accident lawyer.
People in stopped cars often think they are beyond the point where they must pay attention to the road. However, this is far from the case. If a driver or passenger on the road-facing side of the vehicle opens their door into oncoming traffic, the bodily harm and property damages that may result could be substantial, particularly if the door opens into the path of a motorcycle.
Potholes and Other Road Issues
Any deviation or divot in the surface of the road can cause serious issues for motorcyclists. While car tires have more surface area and stability, motorcycles can struggle to handle potholes and other issues with the driving surface. In these cases, the injured rider may caused the accident.when erratic driving causes an accident, and no drivers are more erratic than those who are inebriated behind the wheel. If you were injuralmost assuredly can file and win a lawsuit against them for your compensable harms, as well as potential punitive damages.

other person or entity.
How New York’s No-Fault Rules Do Not Apply for Motorcycle Accidents
For most car accidentaccident injury, and may do so regardless of whether another driver or other party was at fault. However, motorcycles are not covered by New York’s no-fault system, meaning that you cannot just go to your insurer and recover the monetary relief that you need for your injuries.
In fact, a lawsuit may be your only means of obtaining compensation if someone else was at fault for causing you to crash while riding your motorcycle. This comes as a surprise to many riders in Buffalo, who may find themselves needing the services of a Buffalo motorcycle accident lawyer comfortably.
All drTo meet this duty and avoid liability, drivers must behave reasonably behind the wheel and abide by the various traffic codes and regulations that apply in the areas where they operate. If a driver’s failure to meet their duty resulted in the accident, and that accident caused you compensable bodily injury, you have the ability to file a lawsuit. To prove these essential elements, your Buffalo motorcycle accident lawyer will look to introduce physical evidence as well as expert testimony about how the accident occurred, your resulting injuries, and how they have and will continue to affect you.
If you have grounds for a motorcycle accident injury lawsuit in Buffalo, you must adhere to the New Yorkinjury cases only you much file your complaint in court.

en | N/A | N/A | Local legislative candidate wants COVID-19 restrictions gone
Legislative candidate Mike Peterson is urging Gov. Gary Herbert to drop Utah's "one size fits all" s.
On April 30, Gov. Gary Herbert issued an executive order placing the entire state of Utah under “moderate risk” protocols for the threat of coronavirus infection. That order allowed some businesses to re-open, with statewide social distancing guidelines still in effect.
That’s a view shared by state Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, who believes that it’s time to stop closing businesses and putting undue regulations and restrictions on residents.
“Having been told (by health experts during the 2009 swine flu pandemic) that no healthy individual should be forced into quarantine,” Ray says, “I am now furious to have that happen during the very next pandemic.”
“Although the Bear River Health Department has reported only a single COVID-19 death, we are under the same restrictions … as Salt Lake and Utah counties. Five public health departments have reported no deaths and they too are under the same statewide restrictions.”
“The state’s action over the past few months,” Peterson concludes, “are a powerful example of the truth Thomas Jefferson taught when he said: ‘’.”

Furthermore, a healthy human immune system is designed to deal with this situation and does so regardless of whether it is Covid-19, H1N1, or Influenza, etc. Our body combats foreign microbes on a continual basis. That is its’ role. Only those who are elderly, or otherwise have compromised immune systems are at an elevated risk to such entities. If you care about those at higher risk (or you yourself are at higher risk), simply stay away. To believe that you can legislate or regulate in any meaningful way, all human behavior and interactions for the sake of individual health while mitigating harmful or even catastrophic second order and third order effects, is foolish at best.
Additionally, the current response to this “pandemic” should not be construed a simple dichotomy of death or life. To state it as such, is inherently flawed; illustrating either a lack of understanding of the intersection of complex systems such as microbiology, the variance of unique societies(N.Y.C. vs. Logan, Virginia vs. Wyoming, U.S.A. vs. China, etc. (can be continued ad nauseam) and individual human behaviors (not all, but most Americans self-quarantined before any government entity officially issued any mandates (this was not typical in many other countries)), and U.S. Constitutional law, or there exists an absence to care about such. The comment “In other words, he doesn’t care how many people die.” is false, overly-simplistic, ignorant and asinine simultaneously. The choice for us is not binary. Few choices in life are.

Our remit at the Grantham Institute is broad, and we thought we would celebrate that by inviting people with key roles across government, business and implementation groups to discuss the full range of challenges we are currently facing. Skilfully chaired by Richard Black, the audience and panelists interacted in genuine conversation about how to tackle the challenges of building a low-carbon economy, encouraging poverty reduction and growth around the world, engaging citizens and protecting human health at the same time.
We patiently enjoyed six stimulating talks that were wide-ranging but with precise examples from our speakers’ fields. There were some nice pithy messages:
- A low carbon lifestyle is a also a healthy lifestyle,
- Development opportunities require cooperation and engagement by citizens and cannot be delivered with a top down approach alone,
- And, of course, without political will, these changes will be stalled in their tracks.

en | N/A | N/A | Some women mature earlier than others, Mr. Raniere teaches. Sex with children can be good if there is no pain he says. Morals are subjective, and Mr. Raniere has defined for his followers what is ethical. A 14 year old girl can consent to have sex with Mr. Raniere he adamantly maintains.
Cami Fernandez is the younger sister of Marianna and Daniella Fernandez.
Older sister Daniella did not agree to join the harem of Mr. Raniere and was imprisoned.
She escaped after 18 months and returned to Mexico.
.Marianna agreed to be in Mr. Raniere’s harem and is a leader of Jness and one of the top slave women of DOS.
Their brother, Adrian “Fluffy” Fernandez, is a current member of Mr. Raniere’s Executive Success Programs and does filming for Mr. Raniere.
Karen “The Grozer” Untereiner, Mr. Raniere’s longest serving harem member, groomed Cami for several years when she was a teen.
By no later than 2007, Mr. Raniere was grooming Camilla personally.
Mexico’s age of consent is 12.
Did this girl become a woman at age 15?
At the age of 14, sources say Cami Fernandez went to Mr. Raniere seeking his guidance. He put her on a 900 calorie diet. Nancy Salzman permitted her to be her maid.
Mr. Raniere promoted her to Head Teacher of Rainbow Cultural Gardens.
Her low calorie diet seemed at times to starve the teen; then she would binge. She was constantly breaching her ethical duty to lose weight by sticking to the diet for a time then binge.
It seemed to play havoc with her metabolism. Mr. Raniere knew how best to guide her and. ultimately. offered the greatest incentive of all if she lost sufficient weight.
Cami ultimately got rid of enough baby fat that the happy day arrived when Mr. Raniere accepted her for private teachings.
While no one knows other than Cami Fernandez, Mr. Raniere, the Grozer [Karen Unterreiner], the late Pam Cafritz, and one other person, it is believed that Mr. Raniere showered her with his spiritual largess on her 15th birthday.
In New York State, that would be statutory rape. But only if there’s a complainant or a witness. None have been forthcoming.
Our source tells us that Mr. Raniere needs women to drop weight so they lose their curves and look like a boy.
“I think he is attracted to both boys and girls. I don’t think he is attracted to men,” our source says.
There is a widespread rumor that Mr. Raniere wanted to teach Cami’s brother, Fluffy, and permitted him to film some of the sexual teachings he had with slender women with boyish figures.
There is no proof forthcoming to date that this is true.
Cami must keep the weight off. She started when she was a teen. But will she always be able to keep it off?
He knows a person’s past life so it is not like there is an age of the soul. |
en | N/A | N/A | the name of revelation; this would be, I admit, the most dangerous folly. But I must repeat with St. Paul, that every revelation, no more than every prophecy, should not be despised (***), and that we should yield a pious belief to those which, according to the rules approved by the Church and followed by the saints, bear the characters of truth. Such are the revelations of which I am about speaking in this chapter, and which are perfectly in accordance with the hieroglyphics traced upon the sepulchral stone.
(**) De Beatif. SS. lib. 3, tom. 7, cap. 3.
(***) Prophetias nolite spernere.--l Thess. v. 20.
We shall begin with the figures on the stone: The first is an anchor; the symbol, not only of strength and hope, but also of a sort of martyrdom, such as that to which Trajan condemned St. Clement, the Pope, who, by the orders of this emperor, was cast into the sea, with an anchor tied to his neck.
The second is an arrow, which, upon the tomb of the martyrs of Jesus Christ, signifies a torment, similar to that by which Dioclesian tried to put to death the generous tribune of the first cohort, St. Sebastian.
The third is a palm, placed almost in the middle of the stone: it is the sign, and, as it were, the herald of a brilliant victory gained over the cruelty of the persecuting judges, and the fury of the executioners.
Underneath is represented a kind of lash, used to scourge criminals, and which was made of thongs of leather, loaded with lead: with these the bodies of the innocent Christians ceased to be bruised, only when they had been deprived of life. *
After these are two arrows, so arranged that the first points upward, and the other in a contrary direction. The repetition of this may perhaps mark a repetition of the torments, and its disposition, a miracle; such, for example, as that which happened at Mount Gargan to a shepherd, who, having shot an arrow at a bull that had fled into a cave, dedicated since to St. Michael the Archangel, saw, as well as several other persons, this same arrow return and fall at his feet.
* The discovery of many of the instruments of torture employed to aggravate the sufferings of the martyrs, has enabled us to have some idea of what their anguish must have been, when the scourge made use of was either of leather, loaded with leaden balls, or chains, to the ends of which metal rings were attached.
Lastly, a lily appeared, the symbol of innocence and virginity, which, with the palm and blood-stained vase already spoken of, proclaims the two-fold triumph of St. Philomena over the world and the flesh, and invites the world to honor her, under the glorious titles of Martyr and Virgin.
We shall now examine whether these revelations agree with the different marks just mentioned. * The reader will be able to judge for himself.
* It is well to remark, 1st, that these revelations have been made to three different persons, of whom the first is a young artisan very well known to Don Francis de Lucia, who, in his work, spread by thousands of copies in the kingdom of Naples and the surrounding states, renders public testimony to the purity of his conscience and to his solid piety. The second is a zealous priest, now a canon, for whom the devotion to the holy martyr, of whom he was the perpetual panegyrist, procured the most singular favors. The third is one of those virgins consecrated to Grod in an austere cloister, about thirty years of age, and living at Naples. 2d. These three persons were unknown to each other; they have never had any communication, and inhabit countries far separated from each other. 3d. The accounts which they have given, whether by word of mouth or by writing, fully agree as to the basis and principal circumstances, and in no place contradict the epitaph which we have just explained, and give to it, by the details, an elucidation as clear as it is edifying.
The narrative of the artisan is as follows: "I saw," says he, "the tyrant Dioclesian desperately in love with the virgin Philomena. He condemned her to many torments, and continued to flatter himself with the hope that rigor would, in the end, break her courage, and force her to yield to his wishes. But seeing that all his hopes were vain, and that nothing could bend the firm resolution of the holy martyr, he fell into fits of insanity; and in the madness that then possessed him, he bewailed his being unable to have her for his wife. At length, after having tried various tortures (and he cites precisely the same as were figured on the sepulchral stone, and of which he had absolutely no knowledge), the tyrant had her beheaded. Scarcely had the order been executed, than despair seized his soul. He was then heard to cry out, 'Woe is me! Philomena will never be my spouse! She has been refractory to my will to her last breath; she is dead; how shall I be able to survive?' and, on saying these words, he tore his beard like a madman, and fell into the most frightful convulsions, and throwing himself from his throne upon the ground, he seized on with his teeth whatever came in his way, saying that he wished to be emperor no longer." Such, in a few words, is the summary of the vision with which God was pleased to honor a simple and ignorant man.
The second revelation was made to a very zealous priest, who was exceedingly devoted to St. Philomena. Don Francis says that all he has written concerning it, he has been directly informed of by the priest himself; and, moreover, that he has heard him relate it in the very church in which are deposited the holy relics of the saint. He thus narrates the manner of his revelation: "I was walking one day in the country, when I saw approach toward me a woman who was a stranger to me; she addressed me, saying, 'Is it really true that you have exposed in your church a picture of St. Philomena?' Yes, I answered; what has been told you is perfectly true. 'But,' added she, 'what then do you know about this saint? Very little: to this hour we have only been able to know of her history what may be learned from the inscription and symbols figured on her tomb; and I set about explaining them to her. She suffered me to finish, and then with vivacity replied, 'You know nothing more, then?' No; nothing else. 'There is, however, a vast deal of other things to be said concerning this saint. When they will be known people will be filled with amazement. Do you even know the cause of her persecution and martyrdom?' Nothing more. 'Well, then, I shall tell it you. It was for having refused the hand of Dioclesian, who intended her for his wife; and the motive of her refusal was the vow she had made of remaining forever a virgin for the love of Jesus Christ.' At these words, filled with gladness, like one who had just heard news for which he had a long time sighed, I said to her. You do not deceive me? are you quite sure of what I have just heard you say? But where have you read this? For during several years back we have searched for some author wherein we might find some account of this saint, and our inquiries have, hitherto, been unavailing. Tell me in what book you have found all you have told me. 'In what book? said she, in a tone in which was discoverable an expression of indescribable surprise and gravity. 'Is it really to me that such a question should be asked? to me, as if I could be ignorant of it! No, surely; I do not deceive you. Yes; I know it -- I am certain of it -- believe me.' And in saying these words, I saw her disappear with the rapidity of lightning."
To this narrative, faithfully transcribed from the Italian author, I shall add some of his reflections. "The stranger," says he, "(and whom, in my opinion, it is not difficult to recognize,) speaks of the hand of Dioclesian as having been offered to her by that prince, which supposes that the martyrdom of St. Philomena should have taken place during the time that Dioclesian was a widower, or was on the point of becoming so by the death of St. Sirena, whom he put to death, together with his own daughter, in hatred of the faith which both had embraced. The emperor was then at Rome, where he condemned to death, at two different times, the heroic St. Sebastian." These observations, suggested by the preceding revelation, help to determine, in |

Phenotypic plasticity, the ability to adjust phenotype to the exposed environment, is often advantageous for organisms living in heterogeneous environments. Although the degree of plasticity appears limited in nature, many studies have reported low costs of plasticity in various species. Existing studies argue for ecological, genetic, or physiological costs or selection eliminating plasticity with high costs, but have not considered costs arising from sexual selection. Here, we show that sexual selection caused by mate choice can impede the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in a trait used for mate choice. Plasticity can remain low to moderate even in the absence of physiological or genetic costs, when individuals phenotypically adapted to contrasting environments through plasticity can mate with each other and choose mates based on phenotypic similarity. Because the non-choosy sex (i.e., males) with lower degrees of plasticity are more favored in matings by the choosy sex (i.e., females) adapted to different environments, directional selection toward higher degrees of plasticity is constrained by sexual selection. This occurs at intermediate strengths of female choosiness in the range of the parameter value we examined. Our results demonstrate that mate choice is a potential source of an indirect cost to phenotypic plasticity in a sexually selected plastic trait. |

But I’ve always been intrigued by the story usually brought to me in snippets or in bits and pieces from films (namely the wonderful 1994 version).
There is a lot to admire about this film, because it does what it set out to do very well. It creates some empathy, some laughs, and yes, a whole lot of loathing. |
en | N/A | N/A | What may be hotter than August? Our housing market, most likely. This summer has been the most active home sales market in nearly a decade, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
The high sales activity predicted for this month is not typical. ln most years, sales taper off gently in late summer from their glory days in May and June. This year is different, however. According to NAR Chief Economist Jonathon Smoke, demand is stronger this year than any time since 2008, and he’s not expecting the market to mellow as the calendar approaches Labor Day.
What will likely turn August into a busy housing market? ln a word, demand. According to Smoke, “Total home sales in April were up nearly 8% over last year, as the economy, lower mortgage rates, and demographics are working together to require, inspire, and enable the highest level of purchases since spring 2007. But they should be even higher, because the number of actual sales will likely be nowhere near the number of people who are trying to buy.
While sales in April were jumping, more than 40 million people determined to buy looked at listings on realtor.com, according to our survey data. lf you assume that every purchase will involve two people, the amount of buyer traffic translates into 20 million potential home sales. Yet, at the current pace of sales, we will see only 6 million sales this year.
Do the math: ln this game of real estate “musical chairs,” nearly three out of our homebuyers are going to walk away without a new set of keys.
“That means the market is not likely to slow down even after the peak buying season ends this summer,” says Smoke. “instead, it is likely to get more frenzied in the summer because of more people reaching the latter stages of their journey and needing to close a deal.”
Of course, market conditions vary from location to location, and some markets may still have more homes to sell than buyers. ln those buyers’ markets, buyers are in the more powerful position, and sellers can reasonably expect to do some bargaining over price and other terms, such as repairs, length of escrow, closing costs, etc. for example.
Those buyers’ markets, however, are likely to be a minority during the Dog Days of summer, according to Smoke. lf you live in or around a major city, the odds are good that you’ll be seeing a sellers’ market at peak conditions. There won’t be enough homes to meet the demand. That means sellers are in a good place to name their price and drive a harder bargain.
In particular, many sellers are likely to receive multiple offers, some above the asking price, and some even in cash.
Getting multiple bids may be a heady thrill for the seller, but there are rules to follow, so all the competing buyers-especially the losers-know there’s been a level playing field, according to Realtor.com, the NAR website.
“While little can be done to assuage that disappointment of losing a bid, fair and honest treatment throughout the offer and negotiation process, coupled with prompt, ongoing and open communication, can enhance the chances that all buyers-successful or not-will feel they were treated fairly and honestly.”
Above all, sellers will need the advice of an experienced Realtor who can help them develop a clear cut and transparent strategy in both eliciting and evaluating competing bids. One way to be fair is to set a single deadline for all bids.
“It’s really a way to add stability to a chaotic situation,” says Noah Rosenblatt, founder of a real estate data site, UrbanDigs.com, in an interview with the New York Times. “Everyone has the same deadline.”
Sellers should not try to sell on the very first day the property is listed, even if a good offer comes in, according to Bernice Ross. Writing in Inman News, she advices sellers to keep the property on sale for at least a week, to allow potential buyers to tour the property, sometimes more than once. “The key point to keep in mind is that ‘maximum exposure to the marketplace results in the maximum net price to the seller,” she advises.
For sellers to net the most money, “a better approach is to set up an auction environment where the buyers actually bid against each other,” says Ross. “Due to a lack of understanding about the power of marketing,” she adds, “many sellers leave thousands of dollars on the negotiation table because they accept an offer that comes in on the first day.”
Once the multiple offers are presented, “it’s usually smart to make a counteroffer to all the buyers,” according to Ross. “You never know which buyers will step up to the plate to purchase,” she adds.
“Issuing counteroffers to everyone avoids any charges of unfairness or discrimination,” Ross continues. While the seller has the options of either accepting one of the offers or negotiation with one or more buyers, in some cases, however, “Issuing a counteroffer to all parties will result in a better price for the seller,” she advises.
Buyers Must Be Nimble
Usually, a Realtor will advise a seller to counter all offers, even the good ones. If buyers are prepared for this, “it will move the process along a lot faster,” says real estate expert Verl Workman, writing in RIS Media.
Buyers, for their part, must be strategic, nimble and above all financially prepared to move quickly when opportunity presents itself. They’ll need clean credit, pre-approved loans and not attach too many contingencies, if any, to a sales bid.
Competing bidders may also need some extra cash, as we’ll see in a minute. Above all, perhaps, there’s a need to be both patient and philosophical, as well as the need to manage expectations: Buyers need to understand that disappointment in home buying is a temporary condition.
HOUSING MARKET IN HISTORIC REBOUND
“The recent rebound in new-home purchases, combined with stronger demand for previously owned properties, indicate that rising wages and low mortgage rates are putting the housing market on solid footing… Demand (for existing homes) continues to grow, especially in more affordable regions like the Midwest. Sales increased from a year ago in all regions except for the West, where faster price growth and low inventories are holding back buyers. (This past spring) new-home sales recorded their biggest gain since January 1992, jumping 16.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 619,000 units. That’s the highest level since January 2008. Sales of new homes increased significantly in all regions except the Midwest.” – Kiplingers
Above all, buyers need the advice of a Realtor. Competitive situations require strategy and the knowledge of how to make an opening bid when other buyers are crowding around you, and that’s where your Realtor becomes invaluable.
A recent article in Chicago Realtor Magazine, recommends that Realtors help manage their clients’ expectations by reminding them that multiple offer situations are frequently found in the current market and not to get discouraged if the first couple of bids fall through.
It may sound cliché, the article states, but try to believe that everything happens for a reason, if buyers lose out on one property, “chances are there may be a more ideal property right around the corner.”
To be prepared, buyers should ask their Realtor to explain the different types of bidding scenarios and the way their representatives would handle each.
Here are a few tips for buyers entering a multiple offer situation, according to Chicago Realtor Magazine: Agents should let their clients know that multiple offers are frequently encountered, and that buyers should be prepared to bid close to the asking price or even above it.
U.S HAS STRONG FUNDAMENTALS
“The American economy may have slowed, but it remains fundamentally strong, as it is buttressed by a healthy consumer sector. Personal consumption, adjusted for inflation, is up by 3% in the past year, having surged in April… According to a recent Fed survey, 69% of Americans say they are “doing okay” or “living comfortably”, up from 62% in 2013. What is more, the rise has been most pronounced among those with only a high-school education… Rising wage growth helps explain consumers’ cheer. Since early 2015 growth in average hourly earnings has perked up from about 2% to around 2.5%” – The Economist
It’s also “vital” to find out which method the seller will use to ask for bids. Will the seller first take initial offer and then afterwards ask all the bidders to submit their “best and final” offer? Or will the seller’s agent ask for the “best and final” offer up front, effectively limiting each buyers to only one bid? That situation makes successful bidding far more challenging.
Buyers should respond quickly and comply with a dates and deadlines, according to housing expert Workman. “Your ability to get a deal done might come down to how fast you can respond to counters,” he writes. In short, doing things inside the time frame requested by the seller makes it easy for him or her to choose your offer above the others.
Another important thing to know, he adds, is the seller’s preferred closing date. While this is good information to know in any case, “It’s even more important in a situation with competing offers.”
A buyer should take care to turn in all paperwork on time to the seller. Having your paperwork in order keeps the process going smoothly and removes any worry on the part of the seller that the buyers have their proverbial ducks in a row.
Your agent may also provide the seller’s agents some personal information about you, such as what you particularly like about the home. “The seller has to know you really want it, “says a listing agent quoted in the New York Times.
A higher-than-standard down payment is another way of showing the seller that you’re serious. If you can afford it, consider putting down more than 20% of the purchase price.
First Offer, Best Offer
When making your offer, “go in strong” and start out with your best offer, Workman advises, “If you are outbid, at least you’ll know that the price simple rose above your limit, which may help you to be philosophical about losing the deal.
Another piece of advice: Don’t include contingencies in your bid unless absolutely necessary, according to Workman. Remember that in a bidding contest, anything that raises the possibly that you might pull out of the deal makes your bid less attractive to the seller.
In the same vein, try to hold off requests for things like home warranties. “It complicates the offer and moves it to a different pile, “says Workman. To stay in the running, therefore, “keep it simple and easy for the seller to understand your entire offer.”
Another way to stay competitive: Don’t ask the seller to pay part of your closing costs. “When competing for the property with other buyers, offer quickly get reduced to the bottom line net to the seller,” says Workman.
HOMEBUILDER, RETAIL STOCKS FLYING HIGH
“There is one part of the economy that is undeniably strong-the housing market. New home sales hit their highest level since 2008 in April. Big homebuilder stocks Pulte and KB home both railed on the home sales news. And they are beating the broader market this year… Another sign of housing strength? Home Depot and Lowe’s (have) both reported strong earnings. They are bright spots in an otherwise lousy quarter for big retailers. But retail sales may soon take a turn for the better-thanks to the housing market rebound.” CNIN Money
Whether you’re making an all-cash offer or are financing the transaction, send the seller verification of your funds (proof of funds) from your financial institution(s). And if financing, have your lender send a letter documenting “very strong” underwriting pre-approval. “An underwriting approval carries (even) more weight than a simple letter from the lender stating you are approved,” Workman suggests. Plus, with an underwriting approval, “the financed buyer becomes competitive with the cash buyer,” he adds.
Indicate that you are flexible in the length of time for the contract to close. “Allowing more time for the seller to pack and move shows that you are reasonable and want to work with the seller to make the transition much easier,” says Workman. “This is a nice gesture and will stand out to the seller.”
So, here’s a late-summer salute to those who are listing their properties for sale in the coming months, and to all who want to buy. Home buying in the late summer is a little like football: if you get knocked down, get up, dust yourself off, and try all the harder the next time. Your new home is waiting for you. It just may take a couple of tries to get it.

Mitsuru gets along quite well with Karin since they both enjoy going to the game center, bowling, playing darts and doing karaoke, among other things.

Even though it was one guy with two girls, they got along quite well and they spent most of their time together.
Their ‘more than friends, less than lovers’ relationship continued for a year, until Ayame finally decided to confess to him at the beginning of their third year. However, Karin returned on that very day. What will become of their triangle relationship?

Picture is deceptive, but then again you guys know that. It was still a pretty ring, but honesty in marketing goes a long way.
It exactly what she wanted. Thanks for all your help Blue Nile!!
The ring is gorgeous and matches her engagement ring perfectly. It would be great if Blue Nile offered engraving services also.
Very subtle and petite ring but precisely what I wanted in a band to accent her wedding ring.
The ring was as described and was shipped in a very timely manner. It matches the similar engagement ring perfectly. My fiance is very very pleased. She gets many compliments on her engagement ring and I know she will continue to get attention with the addition of this band. I am and will continue to be a repeat customer!
Everyone who sees this ring (along with the matching engagement ring) falls in love with it - it's unlike any other ring I saw while shopping for our bands / rings...
I returned this ring because the band was so thin that you could barely see the stones. Cute but not much there.
Matches perfect with my engagement ring from Blue Nile. It's stunning!
Exactly as described - she loved the ring.
extraordinary design! my wife adores her rings.
this third band is beautiful, and completes the set that we have bought from blue nile in a very pleasing way. aside from being slightly lighter colored than the saphires in the wedding set we bought before, it matches perfectly. my wife wears the two bands in front and behind the matching engagement setting. the wear on the rings is minimal. i applaud you for this one!
Incredible color and fire
Ratings-Only Reviews for Channel Set Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18k White Gold (0.18 ct. tw.) : |
en | N/A | N/A | I haven’t always been bold in my walk with Christ and even now it’s so hard to stay the course because I love wine and if it was up to me I’d have a whole bottle every night. Some worldly activities look like fun and I wish I could join my counterparts in their quest to ‘turn up’ but I think to myself, “How will doing this taint my ministries?”
When you look around the world or your community, what do you see that pricks your heart?What ideas, policies, or lifestyles make you say “We can do that differently to get better results” |
en | N/A | N/A | We know what you are thinking; it's easier said than done to grab those precious hours to yourself during the Christmas rush. But why not actually mark them in your diary, plan an excursion or just earmark a day or three to kick back and do next to nothing?
In spite of all the postcard images of snowy hills and holly leaves it's a slightly sad fact that most of us tend to spend a good deal less time outdoors late in the year. Exercise and fresh air are the best natural mood enhancers of all, so why not go for a gentle walk somewhere far from the madding crowd?Spots with great scenery (and no mobile phone reception!
In today's digital age, tablets, I-pods and phones can have a fairly antisocial effect on families and couples at the best of times. Why not ditch the devices and revisit simpler times with some classic Christmas games and activities instead?
It is often said that the "real" message of Christmas gets lost amidst all the hype and consumerism. Why not think of something you can do to bring cheer to others and rediscover the spirit of festive kindness?It could be something as simple as supporting someone who is having a hard time, donating to charity or perhaps leaving a gift for one of the unsung heroes of Christmas. Doesn't it feel good to do some good? |

“War Games” part 1
Computer-caused disasters are happening all over Metropolis, and they’re keeping Superman busy. Even Lex Luthor is being threatened by this financially and physically. It’s not Livewire; she’s still comatose. Lois and Jimmy find the source only to have all the computer terminals explode with them trapped in the basement. Unaware of this Superman and Professor Hamilton also locate the source…the Fortress Of Solitude and Brainiac. He’s escaped from the Krypton orb and built a new body and ship. Now he’s planning to nuke Earth. Hamilton gets the orb for Earth’s history just as Brainiac sends Superman to the Phantom Zone!
Recommendation: Hows aside the story is off to a good start. It’s worth getting if the finale (which due to schedule will probably be in a few weeks) holds up.
