It’s an unlikely culinary partnership.
One has tattoos — eight, in fact. The other has none.
One is a nonstop talker. The other is more contemplative. One relishes the adrenaline rush of kitchen life. The other is equally drawn to operational issues.
But one thing the co-executive chefs of the new Twist Restaurant and Lounge agree on is philosophy, particularly when it comes to food.
“We want to be the largest locally supplied restaurant in Cincinnati,” says Mark Bodenstein, best known to local dining aficionados as one of the founders of NuVo. His fellow chef is Chris Burns, most recently the chef de cuisine at JeanRo Bistro.
“Contemporary Farmstead Cuisine” as they call it, will be the centerpiece of the new restaurant, which opens June 5 in the space formerly occupied by Jean-Robert at Pigall’s.
Then, like the other half of a couple that’s been together for years, Burns steps in.
Bodenstein leaps right back in.
Perhaps this partnership will work, after all.
Mirroring the atmosphere of the Twist Lounge next door, they envision a place with a slightly edgier and younger feel than Pigall’s. More important, they hope their more modest prices will keep them from becoming a special-occasion restaurant, a fate that some think precipitated the downfall of Pigall’s and The Maisonette. | 2019-04-22T02:09:04 | http://www.cincymagazine.com/Main/Articles/Culinary_Chemistry_2787.aspx |
Continental climate, with a wide range of temperature between day and night, and well-defined seasons which contribute to a good growth of the vines. The altitude and its microclimate are ideal for the grapes since they provide a unique character. Many hours of good sunlight.
One factor that makes this wine unique is being the result of a natural crossing at the vineyard of old Cabernet Sauvignon and Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) vines. The parcel of the vineyard where the grapes are taken from is sandy-loam, with regular sized stones at half depth. No chemical herbicides are used at the vineyard, and biodynamic practices are implemented for its care and treatment.
The grapes are hand-picked in 18 to 20 kilograms boxes, clusters are selected, then they are destemmed and after that the best grains are chosen. The must is cold-macerated for 7 to 10 days at 15°C to 18°C. Then it is fermented with selected yeast in 6,000 liters stainless steel tanks, with extraction works such as delestage and pressings. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine is aged in new French oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation takes place and it rests for 24 months. After the ageing, the wine is stabilized, filtered and bottled. It is stored in the winery for at least 18 months before release.
Its complex aromas are reminiscent of blackberry, licorice, olives, pepper and caramel.
Besides, its oak ageing adds well-integrated toasty notes. It is compact in the mouth, with vibrant body. The firm and ripe tannins add even more fullness in the mouth; it has a long-lasting finish, which is rich in flavors that provide great storing capacity.
A perfect match for spiced lamb, peppered beef and pasta stuffed with meat. | 2019-04-22T07:04:32 | http://mastersofwine.gwdbsites.io/vintages/vt-mqbjdruog |

We’re a big fan of puzzles in my household. It started off with the small ones – the cartoon trains and characters that took my kids a few minutes to put together. We’ve increased our difficulty since then, and are up to the 500+ pieces.
John Schulz is Director of Sustainability Operations at AT&T. In this role, John works across the business, with customers and with credible third parties to identify how AT&T products and services can be important solutions for pressing environmental and social problems. John began his AT&T career in the Corporate Real Estate group and migrated into leadership roles with the Energy and Corporate Sustainability organizations. GlobeScan Director James Morris recently spoke with John about the key challenges we are currently facing in the world and the technology solutions that AT&T can bring to the table from a citizenship and sustainability perspective.
My descent into Las Vegas last month was an important reminder of the imminent – but not inevitable – water crisis facing the United States.
One year ago this month, the United Nations adopted a new group of 17 global goals – the Sustainable Development Goals. To say that the goals are ambitious is an understatement. Goals like “no poverty,” “zero-hunger,” “ensure inclusive and quality education for all,” and “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts,” target some of the most significant challenges of our time.
As a company that promotes technology to overcome obstacles and create solutions, AT&T is always looking for ways to apply our capabilities in addressing challenges associated with environmental sustainability.
That is reflected in our goal to enable carbon savings 10x the footprint of our own operations by 2025. It is also seen in our efforts to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enable greater water management and even help with the creation of more environmentally efficient Smart Cities.
Implementing sustainability across one large company is substantial feat on its own. Yet for AT&T, we are not just working on sustainability at our own company but trying to embed sustainable business practices at hundreds of companies all at the same time. That is part of what it means to work on supply chain sustainability, from setting a goal to reduce our customers’ emissions 10x our own footprint, to setting goals to reduce energy intensity at our operations, to working with our suppliers to ensure they are living up to the standards we have set for ourselves.
I recently had the privilege and opportunity to represent AT&T at the Sustainable Brands 2016 conference in gorgeous San Diego. The conference brings together top brands that fill 4 days with extraordinary conversation and insight to inspire and activate business success toward a sustainable future. | 2019-04-19T18:36:47 | http://about.att.com/csr/home/blog.html?tagid=csr%3Aenvironment/caring-planet&par_bloglandingpage_1238903517_start=10 |

As I mentioned earlier, this was the first book I read in the Robert Langdon series. I was interested by all the hype and controversy surrounding the book. I like a nice scandal every now and again, especially one related to a book.
There's a major crisis that will shake the foundation of a powerful world religion or government.
There's a limited amount of time to solve the puzzle that will lead to the root of the crisis and it's solution.
There's a beautiful but slightly damaged female lead who needs to rediscover her faith in mankind and/or herself.
The criminal mastermind behind the crisis has a deep understanding of and appreciation for classical works of art, using references and actual works in their clues.
Only Robert Langdon can pull all the pieces together to solve the crisis, save humanity, win the girl over, and still be back in time for his next lecture.
The way that's written makes it seem like I didn't enjoy the books. I did, I really liked The Da Vinci Code. I found it to be extremely entertaining and thought provoking. I was more than a little intrigued by the ideas presented about the relationships Christ had with those who followed him and supported him most closely during his time on Earth. Do I believe them, not necessarily. Do I think they made for some excellent fiction, absolutely.
I think that a lot of people are afraid of what it might mean to find out that there was a romantic aspect of His life, that there could have been children born of that romance and love. I don't know that I think there would be anything to be afraid of in that scenario. If anything, doesn't it make it more likely that He would understand the myriad of emotions and motives that play into our decision making? We've all made decisions that were to better the people we love or to protect our children. Would it not be possible that seeing the sacrifices people make for their children first-hand better mirrors the sacrifice God made for all of us, His children to protect us and keep us safe for all of eternity? I think it's possible.
Whether you agree with the scenario presented in the book, it probably made you think. I like a book that can do that. It's not easy to push people into a new view of something held very dear to our hearts and fundamental way of thinking and doing things. Some people were shaken, some people were mad, some people were enlightened, some people were simply entertained. Some people probably needed a glass of wine (or two) to get them through the book or to help them process the thoughts that it raised.
For this installment of the Top Shelf Bookshelf, I've decided to go for that glass of wine instead of a heavy cocktail. To recognize the time the characters spend in Paris, I've even gone with a French wine.
I poured myself a glass of this 2009 Coteaux du Languedoc from Chemin des Olivette. It's a deep red color, really rich looking, but surprisingly light. It was very crisp with some very subtle fruity notes. I'm actually having a second glass as I type this out to make sure I don't miss anything. I'm committed to you guys like that.
I frequently like to set up reading challenges for myself. Sometimes they're as simple as reading all of the books in a particular series or finishing one very challenging book- I'm looking at the copy of Salt: A World History that sat on my night stand and was read sporadically over 5 years and the copy of Anna Karenina that is quickly heading for the same fate. More often than not, it's about reading books that fit a certain set of criteria.
I came across this link the other day on Amazon.com promoting their summer reading challenge to go around the world in 80 books, and this totally sounds like fun. I'd love to do this in a single summer, but I think it's going to take just a little longer than that.
Here's a list of the countries I'll be using as reference. Where I've already read a book for that country, I've listed it. I'll link back to the reviews I do as I go through the challenge.
For this challenge, I'll be looking at books that are primarily set in these countries, or that might be about these countries. If the country is mentioned or briefly visited in the story that won't be enough for it to count towards the total. Some of these will be easy to do, some others will need some creativity or at least some research. Of course, I'm thinking some traditional cocktails or spirits from those areas will be in order as well. Maybe this will help me finish Anna Karenina in less than 5 years.
I'll set up this post as a separate page on the blog so it'll be easier to see my progress. Which means I'll have to make progress because it'll be really obvious if I don't.
Even though this is the first of the Robert Langdon books, it was the second one I read. Like many people, I read The Da Vinci Code first and was introduced to the character and the formula that goes along with the stories that way. Even though I read it second, Angels & Demons has been my favorite of the Robert Langdon series.
Now, not everyone likes Dan Brown's style. I definitely see that lots of the action is implausible, the characters are predictable and there is absolutely a formula that they follow. None of that detracts from the entertainment of the book for me. Some of those things might even help with its translation into a movie. Although I don't really like Tom Hanks, but that's a whole other topic that we don't need to get into today. I do find it a bit surprising that a Harvard symbologist is able to uncover secrets that have been hidden for hundreds of years in a matter of a few hours, but it's fiction. Even with the flaws that some readers find, there were several things that I liked about this first book in the series.
First, it pretty much goes without saying that reading these books makes me want to travel to whatever city is their setting and experience the art and architecture for myself. I love the history and the symbolism, and even the references and ties to religion. I know that can be a hot button for a lot of people, but at the end of the day it's a novel, and there has to be some tension and something that causes stress for the characters. Religion can be a very stressful subject.
That's actually the second thing I enjoyed about the book. I was more interested in the struggle between science and religion than I was in some of the characters. That may have made it easier for me to overlook some of their flaws. I'm not someone who believes that science and religion are mutually exclusive. I think that while one can exist without the other, they exist more fully when they exist together. There's a need that we all have to define not only our world, but our place in it. This frequently leads to crises of both the faith and identity varieties. Throughout history we have struggled to find answers to the questions of why we're here and what it all means. Faith and science have served to answer those questions to varying degrees; depending upon the time and the individual asking the questions.
All of the lines and passages that I highlighted and notes I wrote in the margins were linked back to this topic and my own thoughts and struggles at the time. (I've put some of those lines at the end of this post, after the recipe.) I've had points in my life where I question my faith, and faith in general, and based on what stood out to me at the time I was in one these points when I read this book. It's funny to me now that I would have picked up this book during one of those times because it seems to be in line with what I needed to think through to get back to where I want to be with my faith, to be stronger in it for having worked through the doubts for myself. I'm sure it's not entirely coincidental that it happened that way.
The drink for this book is a variation on one that I came across last week actually in an online magazine- it's called the Diablo. The original Diablo came from Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide, published in 1972 written by Victor Jules Bergeron. I pulled most of my inspiration for the cocktail directly from the title of the book, though I like the duality of the drink for the primary topic of the story as well- the salty, tangy aspects of the tequila play well off of the sweetness from the ginger beer. Balance is always a good thing.
Combine ingredients in shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel and candied ginger.
Overall the drink was light and refreshing, almost completely disguising the boozy quality of the tequila. I could see getting into some serious trouble with this drink over the summer.
p5: The most dangerous enemy is that which no one fears.
p21: I'm undecided on miracles.
p61: The laws of physics are the canvas God laid down on which to paint his masterpiece.
p 108: -I want to believe. - So why don't you?
p155: Why change the world if the world is not watching?
p 243: Modern religion is a collage... an assimilated historical record of man's quest to understand the divine.
p332: Science can heal, or science can kill. It depends on the soul of the man using the science. It is the soul that interests me.
p484: Sometimes, divine revelation simply means adjusting your brain to hear what your heart already knows.
If you read as much as I do, it can be difficult to keep track of what you've already read. I've actually gotten three chapters in to a book before I realized that I'd already read it. Oops.
To help me keep track, and to keep a feel for what's coming and what's new, I use Goodreads. Think about it like a combination of Netflix and Facebook for books. With this website you are able to track books that you've read, books that you want to read, and to compare those books with your friends on the site. It's almost too easy to build up a ridiculously long to-be-read (TBR) list. Mine is 340 books long at the time I'm typing this. I'm almost embarassed by that, but then I remember that I have this blog, so in theory I'm going to be able to get to them. Honestly, I just want to read all of the books. All of them.
Once you manage to move a book off of your TBR list and actually read it, the website allows you to rate the books that you've read anywhere from 1-5 stars. The ratings are then used to create recommendations based on what you liked. Recommendations are also made based on the things you want to read. Because I need another way to get suggestions for more books to read. If I can get my read list to be longer than my TBR list I will count that as a huge accomplishment for 2013. Huge.
There are multiple groups to join, if you're interested in that sort of thing. You can add people as friends and see what they're reading. You can also compare the ratings you've given various books to what your friends thought of them.
If you're interested I highly recommend checking out the site.
You can see more about the books I've read here.
A new month, a new book. Does anybody else get excited just before starting a new book? I definitely do, especially when it's written by an author I know I like.
For June, I've chosen a book that's not only by an author that I like, but that also features a character I like. I don't have to like the main characters to like the book, as evidenced by my feelings towards Gatsby, but it does helps. This month I'm going to be reading the latest in the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown, Inferno. It was just released last month, so it's still pretty new to the shelves.
To tie in to this one, throughout the month I'll be revisiting the first three books featuring Langdon: Angels & Demons, The DaVinci Code, and The Lost Symbol. I may even try to tackle Dante's Inferno, but we'll see how that turns out. It's easy to say things at the beginning of the month and then run out of time later. | 2019-04-21T02:48:21 | http://thetopshelfbookshelf.blogspot.com/2013/06/ |

The PowerLite Home Cinema 2040 has been discontinued. You can find out about its successor, and other current models, in our up-to-date projector review.
The PowerLite Home Cinema 2040 is a top notch movie machine that fell just short of the Editors' Choice Award winner in our testing. While you can get some extra performance from the BenQ HT2050, we don't foresee any buyer's remorse for those that choose to go with the PowerLite. It provides very good image quality and color accuracy in full high definition resolution, and can easily anchor any home theater. Its relatively dim lamp means it looks slightly washed out when used in a well lit room, but still provides passable quality in that situation.
Epson is the only brand we tested that opts for 3LCD technology over the somewhat more common DLP. In the case of the PowerLite, those LCDs are able to produce incredible, vibrant colors with high levels of contrast. It shared the top score of 8 out of 10 in our image quality testing, putting it well above the low score of 3. It renders just as vivid images and accurate colors as the Editors' Choice award-winning BenQ HT2050 in 90% of scenes. The only place a difference can be seen is in very bright or very dark images. The PowerLite's blacks are just slightly lighter than the BenQ HT2050's, making dark scenes pop a bit more on the BenQ. Sometimes the PowerLite lends a slightly washed out quality to brighter areas in an image, where the BenQ HT2050 is able to retain a bit more definition and depth in the same areas. These are very subtle differences that are only really noticeable in a direct side by side comparison. Only the most discerning of cinephiles would be able to notice this difference in normal movie watching. The 1080p resolution is also able to render sharp text and graphs. Ambient light dulls some colors, similar to the other models that are optimized for home theater use.
The PowerLite produces great image quality. It is able to avoid the slight red hues in the HD26 and PJD7720HD, and is comparable tot he Editors' Choice Award winning HT2050 in terms of color quality.
The PowerLite was on par with most of the other models in the densely packed ease of use category. It picked up an average score of 6 in a metric that saw all models scoring a 5, 6, or 7. At 6.7 pounds it is one of the heavier models we tested, and its curvy shape makes it hard to pack efficiently. We wouldn't recommend it to anyone that values portability. The adjustable front leg felt a bit flimsy, but we didn't run into any durability issues in our testing or in scouring online user reviews. The leg adjusts height with a button locking mechanism. This is more convenient than a screw and can be adjusted in very small increments. Both back legs are also adjustable via screws. Epson is the only manufacturer we tested that offers horizontal keystone correction, which is controlled by a slide on top of the projector. The slide is not particularly sensitive, but we've found that horizontal keystone correction is rarely necessary. Espon also offers automatic vertical keystone correction. This is a little-advertised function that is buried in the spec sheet, to the point where we weren't even aware of it when first testing the projector. We discovered it by happenstance while moving projectors around the testing lab, and the reaction must have been similar to when Homo erectus first discovered fire: a lot of grunting and ambiguous exclamations followed by a stunned silence. This feature works really well and eliminates one step in the setup process. Both the focus and zoom knobs are smooth and easy to adjust in small increments. It offers an average zoom of 1.2X, which lends enough flexibility to handle the most common projecting situations. It also has a nice sliding lens cover that automatically turns the bulb off and mutes the internal speaker when it is shut.
The PowerLite has a long front leg that is adjustable with the push of a button.
The PowerLite's remote control was the least favorite amongst our testers. Its shape isn't particularly ergonomic, and the buttons are small and not where you would expect them to be. It's not a big deal if you'll only be using it to turn the projector on and off, but if you'll be switching color modes or inputs often it can become an annoyance.
Our testers weren't huge fans of the PowerLite's remote control.
We measured the PowerLite's brightness at 1513 lumens. This a significantly less than the manufacturer's claim of 2200 lumens, and is the dimmest measurement from our brightness test. It earned the low score of 4 in the brightness metric, which saw scores as high as 9. It seems there isn't much power in that light (sorry, couldn't resist). Despite this relative lack of lumens we found the lamp to be plenty bright for watching movies in a dark room.The dimness became noticeable in ambient light situations, however. When Projecting text and graphs in powerpoint colors looked dull and white areas were very dark. Images projected in a bright room also looked dark, and skin tone tended to look pale. These things aren't deal breakers, but if you're planning on projecting in rooms with ambient light you be better off with the ViewSonic PJD7720HD.
The PowerLite's fan isn't too loud, but towards the end of a long movie the lamp can get pretty hot and the fan can get pretty obnoxious. You don't want a loud fan ruining the kiss at the end of an epic rom-com, so we gave the PowerLite a 4 out of 10 in this metric. There were worse models for sure, and the PowerLite's fan noise won't completely taint your movie watching experience, but we think most people will at least notice the fan when they're watching a movie.
The PowerLite carries a list price of $800. This is the same as the Editors' Choice award-winning BenQ HT2050. Both of these models are great values for people looking for high-end movie performance that won't break the bank. The BenQ is just a slightly better value because it offers a small bump up in image and a slightly larger bump up in fan noise performance. However, at the time of this writing the PowerLite is selling from multiple online retailers for close to $100 below the list price. At this price the PowerLite is a great value for those looking for a high-end model and don't mind making small sacrifices in image quality and fan noise.
The PowerLite offers top-notch image quality at a reasonable price. You can get a little bit more performance out of the Editors' Choice award-winning BenQ HT2050, but if that isn't available, or you find the PowerLite on sale, it won't disappoint. | 2019-04-23T18:29:18 | https://www.techgearlab.com/reviews/small-and-home-office/projector/epson-powerlite-home-cinema-2040 |
Rivsalt is a gastronomic experience and a new way of adding salt to food. Unlike traditional salt-grinders that use already pulverized pieces of salt, the Rivsalt Salt Grinder allows you to work a whole block of pink Himalayan Salt. Perfectly shaped himalayan salt crystals are grated with the functional, yet beautiful, stainless steel grater. A natural oak wood board serves as a great stand to the Japanese grater. This set has been designed so that the natural Himalayan salt can be grated directly onto your dish and sit beautifully on your table or kitchen counter. A great addition to your kitchen and the perfect gift for a foodie. | 2019-04-22T22:30:09 | https://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/culture/food/rivsalt-salt-grinder/ |
Yes, the resemblance of the armed guard to a Nazi storm trooper is as subtle as a sledge hammer. Fine by me. Maybe it will overcome the American propensity for historical amnesia and wishful thinking.
Much to my dismay, Hillary Clinton is the only Trump opponent who might conceivably be elected. The progressive purists who disdain supporting Clinton are confident that something like what happened in Germany in 1932 and 1933 could not happen here and now, with a Trump victory. Yes, our traditions of liberal democracy are stronger than those of the Weimar Republic. The pertinent question is not whether our traditions are stronger but whether they are still strong enough, after years of relentless assault from the pseudoconservative coalition of bigots and plutocrats that controls staggering amounts of dark money and has already taken over the GOP. Dammit, the answer is not obvious.
The prospect of a Trumplestilzken in the White House is a frightening prospect! I hope all those who know better show up November 8!
I hope so too. Sad to see how many people content themselves with ridiculing Trump and his supporters, w/o doing anything to support Clinton.
Thanks. A few in the MSM may be waking up. (The 10-03 issue of TIME has a good piece on the Trumpery of far-right politics in Europe.) Whether enough voters wake up remains to be seen.
AS it appears…few will be awake when they vote….
Here’s hoping you don’t go sleepwalking into Trumpland. Brexit was bad enough.
As a Brit following the ‘Trump phenomenon’ from the UK, it’s hard not to feel like a shocked by-stander. Don’t claim to understand the US healthcare set up in any detail, but I’m saddened to read in my newspaper, in a league table of life expectancy, that the US falls below Western Europe, & is equivalent to countries such as Rumania.
In short: The ACA (Affordable Care Act, AKA “Obamacare”) is an absurdly complex kluge that still improved on what came before in healthcare. Rather than fix the ACA, Trump & friends want to go back to what came before. US politics is a concerted effort to make the old Monty Python skits look calm, sedate, and sensible. That effort is succeeding. | 2019-04-19T05:19:36 | https://mellowcurmudgeon.com/2016/09/23/tough-lessons/ |
It warms my heart to know that the Holy Spirit is here inside of me to warrant/keep me secure. With the Holy Spirit inside of me, He makes sure that I am able to undertake or engage in what and with whom I must perform as stipulated. With Him, I do not have to be concerned about my own efforts because He compels me to engage and to execute. The Holy Spirit keeps me safe from harm. Most people look at the Holy Spirit as just being a feeling, an emotional outburst or something that is misunderstood. The first mistake to correct is that the Holy Spirit is not a thing, He is a living, breathing, seeing, speaking and hearing person. He has a heartbeat. The Holy Spirit is our teacher regarding all about JESUS. This means that when JESUS told us who we are in HIM and what we can do in HIM and what we have in HIM. The Holy Spirit like a loop in our spirit is constantly reminding us so that we are able to think, speak and do as JESUS spoke, thought and did.
The entire time JESUS was walking, teaching, healing and demonstrating. HE was preparing us for who we are in HIM if we believe. The Heavenly FATHER gave everything to JESUS and the believers who are the righteousness of CHRIST have everything. JESUS even told us that HE would not leave any of us by ourselves or lonely because HE knows that we all have short term memories when it comes to goodness. This is why HE gave and sent us HIS Holy Spirit who unlike before the crucifixion of JESUS only visited believers and demonstrated the power and left. Now, the Holy Spirit enters the body of the believer and resides to demonstrate His power to us. This is our guarantee/guaranty our warranty which never expires. And this guarantee has active power. But some of us will get saved and that is all. The upside is that you will get into heaven because you believe in JESUS with your heart. The downside is that you are powerless, you still are defeated by life, and you may still play both sides of life. Attend worship service when you feel like it, seldom or rarely read your Bible with quality time which causes unbelief in the truth of GOD’s Holy Word. Unbeknown to you, you are making JESUS out to be a liar because you profess to be a Christian yet, you look and sound just like the world and you carry the aroma of the world on you. The Holy Spirit provides us with His fragrance and we no longer desire to do and be as we once were in the world. Our entire motive is to please our Heavenly FATHER in all things. | 2019-04-24T08:52:56 | https://amfbem.com/2017/07/04/guaranteeguaranty/ |
I created this website on a test server then moved it over to another host with it’s new name etc. It’s working great. Here’s the issue. On the test server I had “Discourage Search Engines…” enabled. I (silly me) forgot to disable it when I moved the site over. It’s currently disabled at it’s new location, but the “discourage…” rule seems to still be applied since I can’t seem to find the website on Google nor Bing. I’ve searched it by the domain name itself, including the .com. Still nothing.
Where can I find the file that causes this and how to I disable it from there?
It takes Google a couple of weeks, sometimes, to come back and be encouraged.
Here’s the google webmaster tool I used in case anyone has an issue in the future. | 2019-04-18T11:54:36 | https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-getting-indexed-on-search-engines/ |
Factors to consider before relocating your children following a divorce | Toole Law Offices P.C.
More than anything else, the divorce process presents an opportunity for individuals to make a fresh start. In some cases, this can mean moving to a new city or even a new state. When children are involved, the decision to relocate can be a difficult one. Before making the decision to move to a new location, newly divorced parents should consider a number of factors.
First, one of the most important factors for a newly divorced parent to consider is whether your ex-spouse will agree to the relocation. If they do not, then the process may take longer and be more expensive than originally anticipated. In some cases, it may even be necessary to get permission from a court to move out of state. Courts are likely to consider a number of factors in making their decision, but the most important point is whether the move would be in the best interests of the children involved.
Second, it is essential for divorced parents to reflect realistically on whether a proposed move is, in fact, best for their children. More than anything else, a parent must realize that while a move from an ex-spouse may be appealing for them, it can be devastating for children to be separated from one of their parents. Depending on their age, it is a good idea to solicit feedback from your children regarding the decision to move.
Third, before making the decision to move, it is important to have a plan for day-to-day matters. For example, where will your children attend school? If you are unable to watch them, do you have friends or family available in the area who can? Will you have the same kinds of career opportunities available to you in your new home?
Finally, although it may be difficult, it is essential to speak to your ex-spouse regarding your decision to move. Communicating can allow both parents to express their concerns and work together to develop a plan for parenting and visitation. In many cases, communicating openly can help reduce conflict. The court will also likely consider whether parenting time has been denied or limited in the past by the relocating parent. If there has been a problem with a parent being able to exercise his or her parenting time, it may affect whether the court allows the relocation.
If you are considering divorcing your spouse, it is natural to have questions about child custody, child support, visitation and other matters. To learn more, schedule a consultation with an experienced divorce attorney. A divorce attorney can explain your rights, provide you with an overview of the divorce process and help you decide on what steps to take next. Speak to an attorney today. | 2019-04-25T00:31:23 | https://toolelawoffices.com/2017/02/14/factors-to-consider-before-relocating-your-children-following-a-divorce/ |

OPPO Philippines is once again taking the spotlight as they officially launched their brand new smartphone offerings in the local market with one of which sports selfie camera that pops-up. You read that right, Oppo is now also adapting the new selfie camera design with the F Series mobile phone, and the first to sport such mechanism is the F11 Pro, which again has been launched and priced today.
These two devices have a lot of similarities both in terms of design language and specs. But it is the pop-up or rising selfie camera on the Pro variant that really cuts the line between the two. Due to this new front-facing camera mechanism, OPPO is now able to offer true all-screen and notch-less display with the F series.
Both of the phones have the same 6.53-inch Full HD+ IPS display, only the non-Pro version will have a waterdrop notch on the display which holds the 16MP selfie camera equipped with AI Beauty. The F11 Pro also has the same 16MP front camera. On the rear remains the same for the two devices, a main shooter with 48MP sensor and a secondary 5MP for depth sensing. Both have the traditional fingerprint scanner mounted on the back, Android 9 Pie with ColorOS 6.0, Octa-core MediaTek Helio P70 processor, and VOOC 3.0 Fast Charge.
In terms of RAM and ROM, they are not the same. On the standard F11 there is 4GB of RAM and a huge 128GB internal storage, while on the F11 Pro it has a much bigger 6GB RAM but a smaller 64GB internal storage compared to the other. The battery on the Pro is a bit smaller as well at exactly 4000mAh while its sibling has 4020mAh right out of the box.
As of the moment, the pricing and availability for the F11 variant is not revealed yet. But the F11 Pro model will be sold for Php18,990 a pop with pre-order to begin on March 28 until April 5, 2019. Each pre-order will come with a free Rockspace Wireless Bluetooth speaker worth Php2,499.
The OPPO F11 Pro will be released at stores nationwide starting on April 6th. It will be available via Home Credit too. | 2019-04-18T15:19:24 | https://www.dugompinoy.com/2019/03/oppo-f11-and-f11-pro-officially.html |
I hope you enjoyed reading part 1, 2 and 3. As explained Cisco UCS is a converged infrastructure. A converged infrastructure uses less cabling and allows you to configure vNIC’s and vHBA’s as an abstraction layer on top of the physical infrastructure. This offers flexibility and has some benefits. It also adds an important requirement, which is QoS (Quality of Services). Without QoS, any type of traffic could saturate all available bandwidth resulting in slow network or storage performance. Which could potentially make your compute platform unstable. It is important that each type of traffic can consume as much bandwidth as possible when needed, but when the network gets congested each type of traffic gets a fare share of bandwidth, shaped by a pre-defined weight (%).
The nice thing is, Cisco UCS fully supports QoS. In fact, it is an absolute requirement which is easy to configure. QoS is not only used for traffic shaping, it is also used to handle certain type of traffic differently. Like storage traffic (especially Fiber Channel traffic) needs to be lossless (without packet drops). And you might want certain type of traffic (like iSCSI traffic) to use a different MTU packet size (e.g. Jumbo Frames with MTU 9000). | 2019-04-20T17:11:39 | https://boudewijnplomp.nl/tag/qos/ |

This is the third part of Phoenix Adoni’s series on the fourth chakra. Read the previous parts here: Part One and Part Two.
We’ve all suffered the endings of relationships and the broken hearts which accompany them. What usually happens is that we disconnect from our heart chakra, which ceases the energetic dance of the heart, while we sit in misery and self-pity, vowing to never love again.
When this happens, we do the greatest damage to ourselves and our heart, as the fourth chakra is our center and our core, and when this chakra is thrown too far out of alignment, it throws our entire chakra system, both upper and lower, out of alignment, only further perpetuating the cycle of suffering.
Endings, although painful, are opportunities for us to awaken our hearts by touching the rawness of our pain. When an ending occurs, the natural tendency is for our heart chakra to close and shut down, leaving us feeling depressed, lethargic and isolated from ourselves and life in general. Although painful, these endings are opportunities for us to awaken our hearts by touching the rawness of our pain.
By maintaining an awareness of our heart and the pain we feel, we can connect to our humanity and the suffering of all people. When we are able to practice this type of awareness and connection, we begin to see through the greater vista of love from Source, that the relationship that has just ended, as well as all the relationships that have ended, have all been small pathways and stepping stones towards the spiritual highway of our learning, growth, evolution and expansion of our hearts and our capacity to love.
If in childhood we grew up receiving enormous amounts of unconditional love, nurturing and acceptance, a positive feedback loop is created which shapes and frames our self-perception and self-acceptance, as well as our internal dialogue. As we grow up, even while suffering its share of trials and tribulations, the heart chakra has a much higher degree and chance of openness, and all of its other corresponding attributes.
However, if we grew up having not received the ingredients necessary to create self-acceptance and an open heart chakra, the positive feedback loop is short circuited; we turn inwards and begin the path of self-rejection which, over time, results in self-destruction.
This is the ultimate result of the specific wounds and traumas associated with our heart, primarily as a result of divorce and abandonment, conditional love, living in a constant shaming and criticizing environment, as well as sexual, physical and emotional abuse. When a child suffers these types of traumas and abuses from their caretakers, the very people they must depend upon and trust for their survival, they often grow up equating love and pain as inseparably linked forces, further damaging their fragile heart chakra and creating greater cycles of suffering and grief.
Grief arises due to loss, whether inconspicuous or severe. In terms of the heart chakra, it is the loss of love, as love is the center of our being.
When carrying grief, our energy and psychic field become heavy, and we may even have difficulty breathing and/or experience constriction in the chest.
When we attempt to ignore or bury our grief, we become disconnected from Source, and ultimately from ourselves, growing numb and distant from our feelings and other people. When we are able to meet our grief, and embrace and face it, the energy is released; memories long suppressed arise, tears flow and the chains and armor that have kept us from experiencing the richness and fullness of our lives fall away like the remnants of a dream; we awaken anew, feeling lighter, connected, free and able to access and feel the compassion and love of true Source return to its graceful and healing dance within our hearts.
In order to truly heal others, whether as a doctor, naturopath, acupuncturist, reiki practitioner, psychic or massage therapist, or anyone practicing healing arts, our fourth chakra must be fully open and functioning properly.
Since the heart is the seat of love, its vehicle is compassion. Compassion is love in action. It is through compassion that we are able to truly empathize and connect to another person; their issues, their pain, what makes them unique and special and what they need most in order for them to live in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual harmony within themselves and their environment. When the love from Source is allowed to take the lead, it is no longer the practitioners who are doing healing, but Source itself. The job for the practitioner at that point is to get out of the way and allow Source to guide. A true healer understands and aligns themselves with this knowledge, directing their attention to that which is greater in order to properly direct others to their highest good.
In short, the heart chakra is the center of our entire being, and is the hub of all love. With balance and nurturing, we are able to develop intimate bonds within ourselves and other human beings through a true heart-to-heart connection which gives us all the opportunity to grow, mature and develop our capacity to love and heal ourselves and others, and ultimately move towards the higher planes of spiritual consciousness.
May your hearts expand and take flight, higher than ever dreamed possible; may your eyes live within your hearts, allowing love to flourish and guide you back to the greatest of all treasures: yourself.
We do not love a woman because she is beautiful. She is beautiful because we love her….
well as the saying goes ,looks are only skin deep, its whats inside of you that counts and yes their are men and women too that think that is whats important and its not true ,so god only gives you what you only can handle but in the end one door closes and whenever another shall open, just believe in yourself and it,ll all turn out for the best and everything will make you wiser and do learn from mistakes or so we should , ive never thought that i was much but i am starting to believe in myseft.,and means alot to me and listen to your heart and you,ll make out okay.
don ‘t worry mbr-the reality is that a lot of the same men talk to gorgeous women this way-I have met movie star looking women that cry to me and tell me some men have called them ugly-and tell them they are stupid etc.
I am sorry you have gone through what you have. But just know that there are some beautiful women out there being treated just terribly….Looks don’t always seal the deal…It’s the spirit that really speaks….
” the beauty queen type”.
Granted, men are, for the most part, visual creatures, ( and so are women too sometimes),…..but I can tell you that there is a man out there looking right now for some lady, just like you, with inner beauty.
I KNOW, because I read for a few of those nice men……who are more interested in a woman with a good heart, rather than just ” good face”.
I just read the article about what men consider wife material-it is very disturbing to know if you were not born pretty you are not worthy of love. I have known this for 40 years, but it is so hard to see it in print-I have had many men tell me how ugly my face is for 40 years, how no one would ever love me because of it and that has certainly been the case. I have never in my life had any man tell me he loves me, hold my hand, care about in any way and I just can’t keep going knowing this is the real truth-men really do only care about a pretty face-Unfortunately, i was born with a bad face, so my chances for love are gone-what is left in life if you can not have any love? | 2019-04-23T02:40:46 | https://www.californiapsychics.com/blog/mind-body-spirit/breaking-off-relationships.html |

HTC One M8 users are in for a pleasant treat, as it is now possible to upgrade your handset from stock version to Google Play Edition without the risk of introducing bloatware or junky apps into the mix, which is usually the case with most custom ROMs.
In addition, Google Play Edition brings all the latest updates and bug-fixes for your handset while retaining the stock interface and features to offer a completely pure Android experience like in Nexus devices.
Note: You will be unable to install Sense based ROMs after installing the GPE upgrade due to the partition variation between the GPE and standard Android version.
The instructions provided in this guide are limited to HTC One M8 GSM devices and will not work with any other model. Verify your device model from Settings > About Phone.
Ensure your phone has at least 60% battery charge to avoid inadvertent shutdown during the installation process.
Verify that the phone is in S-OFF mode.
Make sure the correct USB drivers (download here or click here for Windows 8 drivers) are installed for the phone on computer.
Now you need to setup ADB and Fastboot on your computer or download the Minimal Fastboot/ADB tool and unzip it: mfastboot-v2.zip.
For instance, your CID should be GOOGL001 (GPE CID for the HTC One M8) if you want to get OTA updates from Google.
Those who are unaware about the procedure for changing CID and MID can follow the tutorial here (courtesy of Droid Views).
Launch command prompt in Fastboot folder by right clicking in the folder's empty space while holding Shift key.
Connect your device to the computer via USB cable and reboot the device into boot loader by typing the following at the command prompt.
Once your phone reboots, it should be running the new android GPE for HTC One M8. | 2019-04-18T12:24:25 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-convert-htc-one-m8-stock-into-google-play-edition-1469593 |

A therapy dog encourages communication and self-esteem in a special education classroom.
My Chloe is a timid, young Standard Poodle. She has a very sweet disposition and loves children almost as much as she loves dogs! I teach clay classes in elementary schools and Chloe began joining me when she was only a few months old. Soon she and I began doing more general pet therapy in classrooms, including a whole year in one second grade class (chronicled in the children's book series, Chloe is in Second Grade). Recently we began visits to special education classes called Life Skills classes.
Although Chloe dearly loves children, her innate timidity requires that the children be gentle and quiet around her. Initially this seemed as though it might be a drawback and reduce her therapeutic efficacy, but as it turns out it is a good thing. It helps teach the children to be calm and orderly, and really understand why good manners and behavior are important. Not one of them wants to scare Chloe, as they themselves do not like to feel afraid, so important "life lessons" like empathy and acceptance are learned naturally. In addition, they also learn important things about how to relate to dogs in general, and about animal stewardship and the need for all of us to take care of others.
Our visits to the Life Skills classes involved mostly one-on-one visits between Chloe and the students. These visits usually start with the child petting her or brushing her with a soft brush. When the children are more familiar around her, we go on walks together, using two leashes and going first in the classroom, and later in the hallways. The students feel very important and special when they have this job. They decide where they want to go and they know that they must take care of Chloe. For some, this is one of the few times they feel that they are helping rather than needing help and self-esteem grows. We greet people along the way, and when we get back to the classroom, we report to the teacher what we have seen, so we are practicing a number of skills, especially communication. There is quite a variety in their reactions to Chloe's visits. Most of the children want to spend time with her, but not all.
One boy named Sebastian was not at all eager to visit Chloe when we came to his class. I would always ask him if he wanted to visit with Chloe.. just to give him the chance to choose.. and he always said, "NO, no, no!" as he made himself very small in his chair. One day when I came in with Chloe, Sebastian immediately made eye contact with me, so I knew something was up. When I asked my usual question, "Who wants to visit with Chloe?" his hand shot up and he said, "I do, I do!" This was quite a surprise to all of us, and, of course, we rewarded him with an immediate visit. He still did not want to touch Chloe, but he threw treats to her as she sat close to his chair.
On our next visit, Sebastian took Chloe for a walk in the hallways. He wanted to go to the gym, and I soon found out way. The popcorn machine was there! Fortunately, it was busy popping, and the kind popper-woman supplied him with four bags of popcorn to take back to class with him. It is so difficult with non-verbal children to know their reaction to an activity, but I saw Sebastian make a conscious choice to do something he was afraid to do, plan to go somewhere exciting to him and share it with a new friend, and come back to class with a 'gift' for his classmates. My guess is that this had a huge impact on his self-esteem.
When the special education teacher read the children a story about Chloe, they were very excited to see 'their' dog in a real book. One boy kept asking how we got "those" pictures in that book. I can imagine making a simple book for them about their classroom showing them interacting with Chloe and plan to do so this fall. I know it would be popular and some of the students would be able to read it. Seeing themselves and their friend, Chloe, in a book would also stimulate many of them to take an interest in books, even if they are unable to read.
Finding ways to make books enjoyable for children is a challenge at times but when I made a similar book for an Autistic preschool I discovered that being involved in the process and the subject matter went a long way toward doing just that. It's quite simple and requires nothing more than a camera, a word processing program, and a local office supply store to put it in a spiral binding. If you don't know how to 'embed' the digital photos into the actual document , just print them and glue them into place and you have enough of a 'real book' for the children to enjoy. In addition, all involved tend to get feelings of accomplishment and pride too often lacking in such students.
A boy named Jack had a good visit with Chloe. His face lit up when he saw her and his big smiles got even bigger when he walked with her. Then he told her to 'sit'. What actually came out sounded more like, "Doe-ee, dit!" but he got the vowels right, and Chloe, bless her heart and her special dog's ability to understand things that many humans can't, sat. Then he told her to 'down' and when she did that too, his pleasure shone out like a bright light.
More self-esteem and eagerness to communicate are sure to accompany Chloe on future visits with Jack, Sebastian, and other children with special needs who are lucky enough to share time with her.
learning that will be remembered for a long time thanks to a sweet, curly-haired friend named Chloe.
Donna Vaquer is the co-author of The Rainbow Series: Dogs Who Help. The publisher explains, "This is an ongoing series of nonfiction children's books, some sprinkled with a bit of fantasy here and there, about real dogs who help others in various ways. These books appeal to children from pre-school through fifth grade. Because they are nonfiction and illustrated with color photographs of the actual dogs in action, they educate as well as entertain. They encourage children to learn to read and love it, and all have at least one important life 'lesson' about diversity, acceptance, love and animal stewardship. | 2019-04-24T20:04:38 | https://childrensdisabilities.info/therapy-service-animals/therapy-dog-special-education.html |

The PK House : The 4th of July and other random things.
The 4th of July and other random things.
The fourth of July was so fun this year! It was definitely one of the best ones I've ever had! We just woke up and had breakfast together (Bryce makes the best smothies)!!! And then we got ready and went to see Walle! It was so good, Bryce thought it was the best Disney/Pixar movie yet, (I still love the Incredibles) but anyways then we went shopping for a little while (woo hoo) and then we went to dinner at Mimi's cafe. After that we went home and took a little nap and then we went to the fair over in pleasant hill (where we took these pictures) we just hung out on a blanket and read and played cards... i'm undefeated! And then we watched the fireworks!
This guy was passing out Obama stickers and he asked us if we wanted one and I was like "sure" and he turned to Bryce and said, "you've got a smart girlfriend". Haha. I didn't correct him though, if we were young to be married in Utah then we are like one in a million here. The other day I was at the grocery store and this man who was checking me out wouldn't stop talking to me and he scanned this candle that was a number 6 and he was like "what is this for" and I said "oh it's my six month anniversary tomorrow" and he said, "six month anniversary of what?" and I said "of marriage". Ha it was way funny, but he was rude to me after that. Oh well. Anyways though i'm posting that Obama picture for my dad (hehe). And the fireworks were amazing and so beautiful!
I am just figuring this thing out! Forgive me if I do not post this in the correct spot. I can't promise I will stick with this blog thing but I am going to try!!! We miss you guys so badly! Your fourth of july looked like it was so romantical. We gotta come out there. Too bad we gots no money!!! I need to come back here asap! Love you.
haha i love the whole six month thing...people are awesome! haha i love you!!
sounds like a fun day though guys! | 2019-04-21T20:01:38 | http://www.thepkhouse.com/2008/07/4th-of-july-and-other-random-things.html |
MILTON, GA. - Milton has been named the ninth best city in the Southeast and the best overall in Georgia.
The results come from a survey compiled by The Business Journals, a Charlotte, N.C.-based collection of business publications and websites, which includes the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
The report's author, G. Scott Thomas, said he analyzed 3,764 cities throughout the country, searching for places that have "healthy economies, light traffic, moderate costs of living, impressive housing stocks and strong educational systems."
The other North Fulton cities ranked high on the list, each making the top ten in the state. Of Georgia cities, John Creek ranked second, Alpharetta was fourth and Roswell eighth. Mountain Park was 17.
West University Place, Tex, home of Rice University, placed first in the south.
Thomas said the raw numbers used came from the five-year version of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey. Milton's 2009 estimated population was 15,572. | 2019-04-22T10:28:46 | http://alpharettarealestate.pattyash.com/2011/12/ |
Anyone who spends a lot of time in their kitchen can tell you that the garbage disposal is a cook's best friend. However, that’s not to say that they are without their problems. These are some common garbage disposal issues that you may experience and how to fix them.
If you flip the switch for your garbage disposal and only hear a humming, that usually means the unit is jammed. Cut the power to the disposal, use an offset wrench to turn the bottom slot of the disposal, and use a broom handle to free the impellers. Once it’s unjammed, turn on the disposal and run the cold water to get rid of anything left behind.
If you toss something that isn’t meant to be in the disposal down the drain, you could clog your unit. First, try opening your drain trap and removing the clog. If you don’t find it there, try using a plunger or drain auger to pull it out. Once the clog is removed, run your hot water for a few minutes to flush everything out.
If nothing happens when you turn on the disposal, meaning you hear no noise whatsoever, make sure the unit is plugged in and hit the reset button if it has popped out. If the disposal still won’t turn on, check your circuit breaker to make sure it didn’t trip. If that doesn’t work either, you may need a new switch. If that’s the case, don’t try to fix it yourself. Have an electrician handle the job.
If your garbage disposal is on the fritz, contact the experts at Ace Solves It All! Schedule your garbage disposal repair in Orlando, Kissimmee, or nearby with our team at (407) 850-4900. | 2019-04-19T07:09:53 | https://www.acesolvesitall.com/blog/2019/march/common-garbage-disposal-issues/ |

AirMD’s network of consultants provides Water Quality Testing in Mobile, Alabama.
Why is water quality testing important?
Water testing determines levels of bacteria in water supplied to homes by municipal water systems or wells. It is generally assumed that water entering our indoor environments have low levels of bacteria. Water testing determines whether your water quality conforms to guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies.
Municipal water is generally safe upon entering the system, however, it is not tested before entering homes. Water filtration systems are not tested for contamination either. AirMD’s water testing tests at the final delivery point – your home.

Since this website has already reached a considerable size, due to the many photo galleries and the development of different language versions, providing extensive information and numerous images for every non-cactaceous genus and species was not a practicable task. Therefore, you will only find a brief description of each family while the image gallery covers some 150 genera.
By basic mix we mean a type of substrate composed of 50% good garden soil , 20% fine non-calcareous gravel (2 to 5 mm diameter), another 20% lava or pumice stone (2 to 5 mm d.) and the remainder 10% being well decayed leaf-mould (beech leaves are preferable).
The mineral mix contains the same materials but in different percentages, respectively: 30%, 30%, 30%, 10%. As for the fertile mix, this is comprised of 30% leaf mould , 30% peat, 20% sand and the remainder 20% is lava or pumice and has a pH of 6. On the other hand, the basic and the mineral mixes have a neutral ph. In a few cases it is recommended to add some limestone to raise the soil ph for those plants preferring a slightly alkaline mix ; you’ll find specific information in the entries for such plants. It is understood that this represents a personal view on a quite controversial subject.
As for water, an ‘average’ amount means you should let the soil dry out for 7 to 10 days before supplying water again. Generally, summer-growing species can be treated like cacti; winter-growing succulents, on the other hand, should be watered sparingly but frequently during their growing period. This simulates the conditions these plants are used to in their habitat, where they often experience drizzly fogs at night.

For reasons of compatibility with the software used, the initials of the names of genera and families are written in lower case rather than capitalized as well. The genus and species, rather than separated by a space were joined by a hyphen. | 2019-04-26T14:44:16 | http://www.cactusedintorni.com/en/Succulents.html |

Ramen was brought to Japan from China more than 100 years ago, and it uniquely evolved into Japanese ramen. Especially in these 10 years, ramen has become a fad to the unprecedented level, and every ramen shop exercises their ingenuity in their seasoning and toppings. Japanese ramen has become a popular dish even overseas, so do check it out.
Rokurinsha opened in 2005, and immediately started leading the dipping noodle (tsukemen) scene in Tokyo. Dipping noodle is a type of ramen, which you dip cold noodle into the soup and eat. It is similar to the way we eat buckwheat noodle. The shop has been distinctive with its noodles which is thicker than those generally used for spaghetti, and its rich soup which is made by boiling the pork bone for long hours. And these characteristics now became the standard for the Japanese dipping noodle. The shop is so famous that it has been featured on various TV programs and magazines, and there is always a long queue.
Kyushu Jangara is a well-established tonkotsu ramen shop, and it has 7 branches in the Tokyo Metropolis including Harajuku, Akihabara, Ginza and Akasaka. The most prominent characteristics of their ramen are their extra-thin straight noodle and pork bone soup seasoned with soy sauce. Its pork bone flavored broth with a unique sweetness has remained popular since its foundation in 1984. They offer a wide variety of dishes including their signature dish, Kyushu Jangara, as well as Bonshan which is popular with its creamy texture.
Butao is located in Shibuya, known as the town of young people, and the area is always bustling with students. The ramen with extra-thin noodles in rich soup made by simmering the pork bone for long hours is popular among overseas visitors as well. Also, the dried sardine ramen, which soup has a strong flavor of dashi extracted from over 20 kinds of dried fish, strongly shows the deliciousness of dashi, one of Japan’s traditional cooking techniques. Butao has expanded overseas since 2010, and they currently have multiple branches in Taiwan, Philippine and Hong Kong.
Asakusatai, characteristic rich soup and laver!
There are many overseas visitors in Asakusa, and there are also many ramen shops. The most recommended shop is Asakusatai located right in front of the Asakusa Station which opens until 4:00 a.m. Yokohama Iekei Ramen with rich soup extracted from the pork bone is a genre of ramen born in Yokohama in the 1970s, and is famous for its toppings including large roasted pork fillet, boiled spinach and 3 large sheets of laver. You can choose the texture for the noodles (hard, regular, soft), richness of the soup (rich, regular, light) and the amount of oil (more, regular, less) when making an order, so try to order your perfect ramen. If you drink up the soup, you will get a coupon you can use at your next visit. | 2019-04-25T08:14:01 | https://livejapan.com/en/article-a0000074/?sc_lid=lj_pc_article_html_frame_5 |

Sightsavers truly appreciates your thoughtful contribution. Since 1966, we have been striving to eliminate avoidable blindness and support people who are irreversibly blind or disabled lead a life of independence and dignity in India. You have been a significant part of this journey, enabling us to perform more than 36.5 million eye treatments and carry out over 5 million eye operations in the last five decades.
We believe that nobody should go blind unnecessarily as blindness is a significant cause and effect of poverty. In India, there are 40 million visually impaired and 8 million blind people. In 2017 alone, with your support and encouragement we were able to carry out 41, 21, 804 eye screenings of people across 13 states of India. Over 2 lakh people were able to see the world clearly with sight restoration surgeries in the last year.
Earlier in 2017, our honorary brand Ambassador and internationally acclaimed actor Sri Kabir Bedi travelled to Jharkhand to witness the work Sightsavers does and communicate about it through a film. I am happy to present a small documentary titled ‘A Beautiful Tomorrow’ wherein Sri Kabir Bedi will take you all through a journey of what we do in the arenas of eye health, inclusive education and social inclusion—Sightsavers three core areas of work.
There are many more like little Aliyas who are able to continue their education owing to your contribution. Over 65,000 teachers were trained in 2017 to educate children on the importance of eye health, and mainstreaming visually impaired and blind children into schools. Preventing blindness, educational support for irreversibly blind children and livelihood training for disabled adults increases the chances of gaining meaningful employment and enables greater participation in civil, social and political life.
A heartfelt thank you from Sightsavers and the many millions we serve with your constant support. | 2019-04-20T19:09:03 | https://www.sightsaversindia.in/blogs/2018/10/thank-you-note-from-the-ceo/ |
When famed architecture firm Bogle presented their first plans for the International School of Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC)’s new secondary campus in District 2, the discussions began. Rather than simply go ahead with the proposal, the school’s senior leadership invited faculty members, administrators, advisors and students to offer their input.
These people know best what is needed to foster a unique curriculum that promotes collaboration, creativity and diverse passions across the arts and sciences. The resulting structure, which opened this spring, revolves around a unique, detail-oriented design to meet the needs of a forward-thinking, holistic education.
The success of ISHCMC alumni is undeniable. For the second consecutive year, ISHCMC students achieve the perfect score in IBDP exam. Furthermore, a remarkable 23% of students achieved 39 or more points, which places them in the top 5% of the world. Every year students venture onto premier universities across Asia, Europe and North America. These impressive achievements will be further fostered thanks to the new campus’ very design.
ISHCMC prepares students for prestigious universities and careers through rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework that is reflected in the new campus furnishings. For example, the Design Technology space is outfitted with the latest 3D printers, which are used for regular classes as well as cross-subject projects during and after school hours. ISHCMC understands the real world rarely relegates tasks to singular subjects and therefore aims to integrate different disciplines. The building makes designing such work easier with a dedicated room for teachers of different specialties to meet and discuss ways in which their lessons can connect.
Music rooms, art spaces and an enormous theater with an adjoining intimate black box space reveal ISHCMC’s respect of the arts as an essential element to any well-rounded education. The 350-seat theater allows for students to explore artistic interests through productions and concerts, in addition to providing experience with lighting and sound management. The room also showcases the structure’s attention to details: the seats are upholstered in a variety of colors to never appear distractingly empty from the stage. The opportunities provided by the various practice and performance spaces encourage students to follow their passions and hone their creativity.
The building’s numerous green design initiatives underscore the school’s commitment to increasing student awareness of environmental issues and their membership in a global community. A large garden, for example, is open to anyone in the neighborhood interested in growing fruits and vegetables. The students took an active role in constructing the space and the first crops have already been harvested and used in the world-class food tech room, which educates them about nutrition and food science. The ecological designs not only teach students, but also contribute to their health and wellbeing. The school has installed elaborate pollution sensors linked to each room which enable everyone to monitor the air quality and structure activities outside accordingly.
ISHCMC believes that a holistic education pays attention to students’ physical and mental wellbeing, in addition to academic success. The new campus, therefore, includes a full rooftop soccer field boasting the same FIFA Quality coconut husk fiber turf used by AC-Milan. A multi-purpose gym, outdoor tennis court and 25-meter, eight-lane competitive swimming pool provides students the means to get daily exercise and participate in team sports and international tournaments. Attention is paid to mental health through daily breaks for meditation and a “mindfulness room” that includes organic features and soft light for students in search of a quiet, peaceful space. The school employs several counselors who are available for students as well.
ISHCMC’s new campus signifies an important step in the school’s growth. Its detail-focused architecture and design more than adequately prepares students for collaborative work environments that fuse diverse disciplines within the arts and sciences. The innovative structure goes a step further by providing learning opportunities to develop well-rounded individuals cognizant of global responsibilities with healthy bodies to match their minds so students are primed for success. | 2019-04-19T12:27:20 | https://saigoneer.com/explore/sponsored-listings/259-explore-9/15055-ishcmcinnovativenewcampusfostersboldholisticcurriculums |

Clean Water In, Clean Water Out!
Rainwater Harvesting Systems Can Clean Themselves!
Rain Heads prevent larger debris from entering the water tank. They are easy to clean and available in a range of styles and sizes.
Find the perfect Rain Head to suit your home and circumstances.
An extraordinary amount of debris from your roof and gutters is concentrated in the first few litres of rainwater that enter your tank.
First Flush Diverters dramatically improve the quality of your rainwater.
The inlet strainer comes as standard with your water tank. This is the very last Filtration Station before the water enters the tank. Easy to clean but sometimes hard to reach.
Why not consider a Tank Guardian to make cleaning easy?
Many water tanks are full of algae as a result of exposure to sun light. Algae not only pollutes your fresh rainwater but can contribute to damage to your pump.
A simple light guard that fits under your inlet strainer is a cheap and easy way to solve this problem. | 2019-04-21T00:08:55 | http://watertanktechs.com.au/water-quality-devices/ |

What are the signs of a good friend and why is it important to know?
Good friends are amazing. They'll be there for you no matter what, they believe in you and bring out the best in you. So, it should be easy to tell if someone is being a good friend or not, shouldn't it?
As with any relationship, when issues start to emerge, sometimes it can be confusing as to whether the problem is with you or with the other person. Are you being a good friend to them? Are they being a good friend to you?
Walter Anderson in his book, The Confidence Course: Seven Steps to Self-Fulfillment provides the following signs of a good friend list.
8. You don't abuse me. EVER. You make sure that I know you seek to protect me.
Yes, you are my friend. And, I need you."
How many of your friends would pass if you applied the above list to them? Did you pass? The people who can pass this list are truly special.
By using the above list, it'll make it easier to know if you're dealing with someone who truly does meet the criteria of a good friend or whether they're more of an "acquaintance". It'll also help you to know how much to trust them.
With the truly good friends in your life, it's easy to sometimes take them for granted. You know they'll be there for you and you don't have to worry about working so hard at maintaining the friendship. The danger can be in that you spend more time on those friends that do require work and you end up forgetting about those special friends until it's too late and they're gone.
If you have a friend that meets this criteria, take the time today to let them know how much you appreciate them and all that they do for you. They are what make life truly magical. Don't wait another day to tell them how grateful you are for having them in your life.
Want to read the rest of the book?
If you'd like to read the rest of Walter Anderson's book, here are the details.
This book contains a lot of good information. It's not just about friendships. It's all about how to develop confidence. Having good friends is just one small part of developing self esteem.

Delta Dental of Nebraska makes it easy to decode some of the confusion around dental insurance. Dentists and insurance providers use many terms to describe procedures, and we know it can be difficult to understand it all.
Below, we have put together explanations for some common dental jargon. For some of the more complicated terms, we have provided examples which may make it easier to understand in context.

Pulp The “inside” part of a tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves and other cells. It makes the tooth a “living” tissue.
Pulp Cap Exposed or nearly exposed pulp is covered with a dressing to protect the pulp from additional injury and promotes healing and repair.
Pulp Exposure Treatment Treating the pulp or “nerve” that has been uncovered, generally in the process of removing tooth tissue destroyed by decay, in an attempt to promote healing and therefore make root canal treatment unnecessary.
Pulpotomy Removal of the top part of the pulp. For permanent teeth, it is the first step in root canal treatment.
Rebase (Reline) A process of refitting a denture by resurfacing or replacing denture base material without changing the occlusal relations of the teeth.
Recontouring The reshaping of any surface of a natural or artificial tooth.
Reline To resurface the tissue side of a denture with new material so that it will fit more accurately (see Rebase).
Resins “White” fillings composed of several types of “plastic” materials.
Restoration (Prosthetic Restoration, Appliance) Broad terms applied to any amalgam, inlay, crown, bridge, partial denture, or complete denture which restores or replaces lost tooth structure, teeth or other oral tissues.
Root Canal Therapy (R.C.T.) The nerve of the tooth is removed from the canal inside the root and replaced with an inert filling material.
Root planing A definitive treatment procedure involving the cleaning and shaping of the root surface of teeth.
Scaling A dental procedure performed to remove calculus (tartar), soft deposits (plaque), and stains from the teeth.
Sealant A resin material bonded to the biting surface of a tooth to prevent decay. (See Fissure Sealant).
Sedative Filling Temporary restoration intended to relieve pain.
Space maintainer An appliance constructed for the purpose of preventing adjacent and opposing teeth from moving into the space left by teeth lost prematurely.
Splint A device used to support, protect, or immobilize teeth that have been loosened, replanted, fractured or traumatized. Also refers to devices used in the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Stainless steel crown A preformed steel crown used for the restoration of badly broken-down primary teeth and first permanent molars. Also used for temporary restoration of badly damaged teeth.
Subscriber A person, usually an employee, who represents a single or family unit in a dental program. (Also called Enrollee).
Superstructure A structure constructed on or over another structure. For example, a removable denture that fits snugly onto the protruding implant abutments.
Temporary/Interim Denture A dental prosthesis that is planned to be used for a short interval of time, generally during a healing period following surgery.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) The connecting hinge mechanism between the mandible (lower jaw) and the base of the skull (temporal bone).
TMJ disorder The term given to a condition characterized by facial pain and restricted ability to open/move the jaw.
Veneer A covering (porcelain or resin) for the front of a tooth, usually done to improve esthetics.
Vertical dimension The vertical height of the face, in particular the distance from the tip of the nose to the point of the chin, with the teeth in occlusion acting as stops or at an equivalent distance if the teeth are not present.

Patents. Can’t live with violating them, can’t live without violating them. The entire concept of patented cryptography is a bit beyond what I have the energy to deal with right now. Whatever. We’re going in.
It didn’t click with me yesterday, reading the crypto news, that I had already quoted one Dan Brown with whom we are now concerned. No, not the one who wrote the novels. One of the other ones. I cited him in my timeline of trying to reconstruct where and when exactly Dual EC DRBG went so wrong. Specifically, the paper has a casual mention (bottom of page 7) that the proof of security relies on initialization value Q being random, because if it is not random, an adversary in-the-know can recover the prestates and everything’s downhill from there. Therefore – and I quote – it is generally preferable for Q to be chosen randomly.
The paper ends with a recommendation to use Dual EC. That, in and of itself, is fine. If an implementor of the algorithm uses this recommendation yet misses the part about random vs. nonrandom Q then they’re not a very good implementor. So far, so good.
We’re going to jump forward and back in time a bit here. Hold on tight as we zoom forward to yesterday, December 27, 2013. Daniel Brown of Certicom (i.e. the same person who wrote the paper discussed above) submitted this letter to the Crypto Forum Research Group. The text formatting is wonky so I will reproduce it in full here.
Specific documented example: Dual_EC_DRBG - a backdoor that couldn't have been more obvious if you'd erected a flashing neon sign and driven a mounted parade with a marching band through it. We have no reason to expect other 'enablings' to be as obvious, of course.
Dual_EC_DRBG, as specified in NIST SP 800-90A and ANSI X9.82-3, allows an alternative choice of constants P and Q. As far as I know, the alternatives do not admit a known feasible backdoor. In my view, it is incorrect to imply that Dual_EC_DRBG always has a backdoor, though I admit a wording to qualify the affected cases may be awkward.
Many things are obvious in hindsight. I'm not sure if this was obvious.
The possibility of a backdoor was known quite early. Such knowledge undermines the effectiveness of any backdoor. For a backdoor to be effective, the implementer would have to be naïve or malicious.
A malicious implementer likely has many other means to subvert the security of the user. I.e. this threat is not so specific to Dual_EC_DRBG.
Either CMVP or CAVP (I forget which) insisted on the default P and Q. But the stated purpose of these validation programs, IIRC, is only to protect communication with USG/CAG, in which the user is already trusting these entities extensively. I'm not aware of any promises to protect non-USG communication in the CMVP or CAVP.
Modern cryptography usually likes provable security, especially in refereed conferences like CRYPTO. Well, Dual_EC_DRBG has such an assurance. Can anybody in CFRG suggest another DRBG with published security proof? I've seen a preprint proof for HMAC_DRBG, but forget if it has been refereed.
Note, just in case you're wondering, the proof above excludes the case of a backdoor relationship between P and Q: i.e. it applies only to the alternative choices of P and Q.
All considered, I don't see how the ANSI and NIST standards for Dual_EC_DRBG can be viewed as a subverted standard, per se. But maybe that's just because I'm biased or naive.
Maybe I'm biased, but for a PRNG, I'd recommend Dual_EC_DRBG with alternative P&Q, at least on systems that can afford the extra latency, e.g. high-end user equipment, if only because of the refereed security analysis. Also, considerable attention, because of the potential backdoor, has been paid to Dual_EC_DRBG, yet no major attack since that security analysis has been uncovered.
I get the feeling this guy is married to the algorithm. Now, maybe everyone who actually regularly reads CFRG (not me) already knows offhandedly that Dan Brown is the one who wrote the proof in the first place and the reason he’s “biased” doesn’t need to be reiterated. I’m not saying there’s something wrong with the proof: it’s fine as far as I know (given the MASSIVE CAVEAT we already went over) and I guess that in principle it’s not wrong to use Dual EC with correctly random values. It’s just… why? Almost no-one used Dual EC in the first place because of the “extra latency” and we already went over elsewhere how that makes RSA’s excuses about why it was the default in BSAFE look pretty dumb.
Well, if “really likes formal proofs” is the worst thing someone can say about you, you’re probably doing okay. Case closed! … Hahaha just kidding. This year is the year that just won’t stop giving me reasons to cry right up until the deadline.
What if I told you that Dan Brown has a patent on backdooring Dual EC?
Well then I wouldn’t be lying to you. Welcome to priority date JANUARY 2005, everyone.
Wow! You literally patented using Dual EC as a backdoor! And you come to us in 2013 with apologetics for the use of the algorithm in light of, surprise, a real-world backdoor – and we should keep using this algorithm you happen to have a patent on! You shoved the backdoorability into an understated aside in the proof!
And I’m not fluent in legalese but I think this patent also covers using a verifiably randomly generated Q! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Many things are obvious in hindsight. I guess this is one of them. This patent apparently slipped by everyone’s radars until the renewed interest late this year in the Dual EC backdoor. It was conveyed to me by Matthew D. Green via Tanja Lange ultimately via @nymble.
I don’t see how any of this is okay. You can’t patent backdooring an algorithm then act surprised when it comes out that people backdoored it and go on about how the standards aren’t really subverted because you can use different non-backdoored values (possibly in a way you have a patent on). But maybe that’s just because I’m biased or naive.
I got a lot of feedback that I don’t use enough “real swear words,” whatever that means. Are these real enough?
The guy seems like a shill for the NSA. I've read some of his other postings on the CFRG mailing list and it's weird that he defends not only DUAL_EC_DRBG but also Dragonfly, the totally unproven and problematic PAKE algorithm.
Given that he works for Certicom(as far as I can tell) and that Certicom has a close relationship to the USG(as far as I can tell) none of this should be too surprising.
An NSA guy also heads the CFRG. Gotta get my popcorn ready to watch what will happen with the CFRG.
Too little truncation in the output function.
Unlike those previous EC PRGs which output anywhere from 2/3 to half of the bits from the x-coordinate, Dual-EC outputs nearly the entire thing.
Brown's proof paper also says that the output function needs to truncate more bits to make the proof work, and uses it in his proof, but forgets to mention it in his glowing conclusion. Along with forgetting to mention the potential backdoor he so clearly knew about. And the Dual_EC_DRBG he proves is secure is not the Dual_EC_DRBG mentioned in the standard, because the too small truncation is fixed in the standard.
Another alternative method for preventing a key escrow attack on the output of an ECRNG, shown in Figures 3 and 4 is to add a truncation function to ECRNG to truncate the ECRNG output to approximately half the length of a compressed elliptic curve point. Preferably, this operation is done in addition to the preferred method of Figure 1 and 2, however, it will be appreciated that it may be performed as a primary measure for preventing a key escrow attack. The benefit of truncation is that the list of R values associated with a single ECRNG output r is typically infeasible to search. For example, for a 160-bit elliptic curve group, the number of potential points R in the list is about 280, and searching the list would be about as hard as solving the discrete logarithm problem. The cost of this method is that the ECRNG is made half as efficient, because the output length is effectively halved.
Why did the committee not do this in addition to adding a method to randomly choose P,Q, and leaving the backdoored P,Q in there by default? That would have stopped the specific backdoor attach cold, but according to the patent and Green's analysis.
Yes, it is wrong. Kristian Gjøsteen showed that it is insecure because it truncates too few bits in the output function. Brown's proof also assumes more its are truncated, but the Dual_EC_DRBG standard does not allow that.
What if I told you that Dan Brown has a patent on backdooring Dual EC? Well then I wouldn’t be lying to you.
Well, I think you would actually be lying to me :). The google page lists the document ad "Publication type: Application". I think it would say "Publication type: Grant" if the patent had actually been granted.
But Certicom certainly have other ECC patents (they basically invented ECC), which I would not be surprised to learn do cover Dual_EC_DRBG. So there perhaps is a conflict of interest anyway.
Why didn't you mention that Dan Brown was in Matthew Green's list of people in the ANSI group who created the standard?
@Thue: There is US8396213, though it's assigned to Certicom and only lists Brown as an inventor, so it's still a slight stretching of the truth. It's not identical, but uses a lot of the same language (including going so far as to explicitly name wiretapping by "trusted law enforcement agents" as a possible application).
@seandougall Yes, it seems to be essentially (though perhaps not legally) the same patent. 0xabad1dea should just have linked to that instead of the other application. | 2019-04-26T12:04:30 | https://gist.github.com/0xabad1dea/8165378 |

Elements To Consider When Selling Your House There has been an increase in the number of homes being sold in the real estate market. With this influx in the real estate market, it is of great importance to be cautious while dealing with buyers; doing so places you in a better place to sell your home for profit. When you decide to sell your home, you will not lack on avenues to use; some of these ways you can successfully sell your home is by either getting a real estate agent or you can even choose to sell directly to a cash home buyer. Another way in which you can get your house sold is by selling it to a home cash buyer-who is a home investor who buys houses regardless of the condition after which they sell it for profit or even restore and rent to tenants thus earning from their investment. Since selling the home might turn out good or bad, there are some elements that when considered can make the process smooth. It is important to make sure that there are available buyers before choosing to sell your home. Keeping your eyes on the market prices is important because you need to be aware on when the market prices are up so that you can sell your home at a profit. In order to make informed decisions pertaining your home, knowing the market structure is vital. It is important not to settle for the first offer from a potential home buyer because, when you do so, you may miss out on other customers who may be offering better prices. So to get the best buyer, compare all the offers from prospective buyers. When you do not settle quickly for the first offer, it may be the best business decision you will ever make, since you may end up making a lot of profit. It is important to be patient because, in some cases, it may take much longer than the anticipated time to sell your home; but patience pays.
A professional inspectors is someone you should consider hiring to check for any problems or broken things that need fixing in the home. This inspection is paramount because then, it gives you time to sort the issues before putting your house on the market. These issues if left without repair may lower the value of your home and slow down the selling process. Before placing your house on the market, it is important to consider the location of the home; the location significantly affects the amount that you will sell your home for. The nearness of your home to services such as hospitals, schools businesses, highways and shopping centers make your house sell faster at a profit. | 2019-04-18T19:07:16 | http://fivenightsatfreddys-2.com/a-simple-plan-for-researching-houses.html/ |
The Dortmund installation is of great strategic importance for thyssenkrupp Steel Europe: all steel strip undergoes thorough inspection before leaving the facility. The purpose of the installation is to inspect steel strip for faults and defects as well as to detect and remedy flaws. The steel strip can also be edge-trimmed, oiled and cuted. All of this is carried out by different machines: coilers are used to wind up and uncoil the up to 40 ton steel coil. From there, the start of the strip is transported to the welding machine where it is welded to the end of the last coil. At the inspection station, trained personnel using a wide range of measuring technology inspect the 1,700 millimeter wide strip. The sophisticated automatic system ensures seamless tracking of material and error detection. Cropping shears and edge trimming shears cut the strip to size. The installation also includes an oiling machine as well as devices to automatically mark and strap the coils. When the installation first went into operation in the early 70's, safety regulations were different than they are today. This has necessitated ongoing further development to keep the installation state-of-the-art and guarantee its long-term safe operation. | 2019-04-26T04:04:12 | https://www.additiv-pr.de/pressezentrum/presse/innovative-safety-concept-for-thyssenkrupp-coil-inspection-line-2/ |

Improper ventilation can significantly multiply the amount of indoor air contaminants in an office, but just opening the windows isn’t always the answer.
Proper ventilation depends on if the system processes are functioning properly.
In fact, buildings with high ventilation rates may suffer indoor air problems due to an uneven distribution of air, or insufficient exhaust ventilation.
An HVAC system that is properly designed, installed, balanced, operated, and maintained can maintain a healthy indoor air quality. It’s when procedures aren’t followed, that indoor air can become unhealthy for building occupants.
HVAC system system designs that operate at reduced or interrupted flow during certain portions of the day or in response to thermal conditioning needs may cause elevated indoor contaminant levels and impair contaminant removal.
Minimum ventilation rates should be defined by air cleanliness and distribution, temperature and humidity.
Failure to maintain proper temperature, humidity, and air movement in a building may emit air that is uncomfortably hot or cold. To combat this, occupants to block supply registers with furnishings or other items and thus disrupting air flow patterns.
Placement of partitions or other barriers within a space can also impair air movement.
Precautions must be taken to maintain comfortable thermal conditions and placement of furnishings must be done wisely.
Placement of supply vents is crucial.
Air supply vents that are installed too close to building exhaust vents pull contaminated exhaust air into the building.
If air supply vents are near outdoor sources of pollution such as loading docks, parking and heavy traffic areas, chimneys, and trash depots, that contaminated air can be brought into the building’s ventilation system.
Carefully consider the locations of all air supply vents.
HVAC systems must bring in adequate amounts of outdoor air to dilute and remove indoor contaminants, but it is costly to heat cold winter air and to cool hot summer air. Thus, some HVAC systems reduce or eliminate the amount of outdoor air brought into the system. contaminated air can then build up inside.
A continuous supply of fresh air must be provided.
Any time an HVAC system is off, contaminants can accumulate.
An HVAC system that begins to operate after building occupants have arrived, or shuts off before the end of the work day can cause an increase in building-and occupant-generated pollutant levels.
If the system is off during periods of non-occupancy, building-generated pollutants can accumulate.
The ventilation system should be turned on several hours prior to occupancy, and shut down only after occupants have left.
HVAC systems must be properly maintained to ensure healthy indoor air.
Ventilation systems can become clogged hindering their performance and air flow.
Humidification and dehumidification systems can cultivate the growth of molds and bacteria.
Improperly treated water in cooling towers can lead to the growth of organisms, such as Legionnella. The bacteria can then contaminate the HVAC supply ducts and cause serious health problems. | 2019-04-26T08:48:27 | https://baxtergroupinc.com/ventilation-system-problems/ |
Our institute does not only deal with the utilization of grass-kinds for energetical purposes, but also with the chance to utilize them in paper industry first in Europe.
It is generally known that the components of paper are vegetal tissues with solid cell wall, which is to be obtained from the plant during paper-manufacturing (raw cellulose), and to make it suitable for boardformation.
Our common programme with the Paper-Industrial Research Institute (2000) aims at both determining those components of "Szarvasi-1" energygrass, which are important for paper-making and finding out the extent the cellulose is suitable for paper-manufacturing.
According to laboratory examination we can assume that the boardformation ot the izo-dimensional sheets produced from "Szarvasi-1" energygrass is very favourable.
Its tearing and cracking work, and the CTM index (vawiness) are all more favourable that the sheets made from traditional paper-industry fibres, which might be very advantageous at producing wrapping materials with sliff wall.
We summarised in Table 5 the lowest and highest values of the fibres obtained from "Szarvasi-1" energygrass, the average values of the special features of the primer1 and reciktalt2 fibres, the values decreased with the scatter value /s/ from the average /average -s/, and increased /average 3s/ , determined in the accredited laboratory according to the Hungarian Paper-Manufacturing Research-Institute Ltd. EN 45001, in the framework of the EU research project, coordinated and controlled by the Grenoble, the French Paper-Industrial Research Institute CTP.
The data shown in Table 5 makes it possible to determine the relationship between the fibres that have been obtained from the "Szarvasi-1" energygrass and have been used in the paper-industry so far.
The examinations executed in the Paper-Industrial Research Institute extended to the examination of the outcome of the brown and white fibres obtained from "Szarvasi-1" energygrass, and to their boardformation.
The brown fibres obtained form the energygrass were whitened with the enviromental friendly QPaaPP sequence technology.
The successful whitening can be qualified according to the value of whiteness, outcome, granulometrical composition and runnability.
Primer fibres1 = different traditional paper industrial fibres /pinecellulose, whitened board-leaved tree - cellulose, halfcellulose/, which are used in hunder thousand tons/year in the EU paper factories.
Reciclated fibres2 = German mixedpaper- fibres obtained from waste by French technology.
The whitened fibres' quantity /production/ was 33,6% counted on the raw material "Szarvasi-1" energygrass. The whiteness of the obtained, whitended fibres is 76,1%, its opacity is 91,5, which means that this value is similar to most industrial cellulose. Laboratory examinations have also proved that the tensile strength reaches, the rip strength exceeds the strawcellulose.
The white fibres obtained from energygrass are suitable for making writingprinting paper, or making microcrystal cellulose - which can be utilized in the medicine-, food-, and detergent industry.
It can be assumed, that the researches and results have been made so far have proved the usability of the "Szarvasi-1" energygrass in paper industry, and the competitiveness as an industrial raw material.
Utilization of the energygrass would provide reasonable alternative to rescue large forests, and would provide possibility to build paper industry where no forests exist. | 2019-04-23T22:24:01 | http://energiafu.hu/papir_en.html |
Against a background where market disruption is key to creating new opportunities, Freshworks has embraced Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help keep their clients relevant, competitive and profitable.
Having identified Twitter as a key channel through which customers often engage companies, Freshworks has developed a social AI entity called Social Signals.
This AI tool helps filter relevant and important messages from the volume of Twitter messages that may be directed at any one company. Social Signals works by going through a company’s entire feed, where it understands and filters out tweets asking for help. These tweets are then converted to a task for a customer support agent to remedy, while disregarding all other tweets.
By filtering tweets, the Social signals AI seamlessly enhances Freshworks’ cloud-based engagement platform, Freshdesk. This integration empowers businesses of all sizes with the kind of next-generation customer experience and innovation that modern society demands.
In an extensive research, Freshworks found that smart automated programs called chatbots, responded to a significant 40% of questions asked through Freshdesk. Furthermore, chatbots could dramatically improve the quality of exchanges between customers and support agents.
This was achieved by the chatbots requesting basic information first to collect necessary customer data. Significant benefits from time and cost savings were also recorded with increases of 15% to 20% more customers being helped.
“This is something we are passionate about at Freshworks, where we look to technology to combine the ingenuity and efficiency of automated solutions with the irreplaceable empathy of the human touch. | 2019-04-22T12:15:30 | https://businesspost.ng/2018/05/30/freshworks-develops-social-signals-ai-tool-for-better-customer-service/ |
Churchills All the Way Down - A Review of "the darkest hour"
Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in "The Darkest Hour"
This last week, I got to see the Winston Churchill biopic "Darkest Hour" which chronicled the turbulent first days of as Prime Minister. Mythical in his achievements, his work ethic, and his idiosyncrasies, he was also a deeply controversial figure who has been compared to a certain current world leader, though many would disagree. It seems that portraying Churchill is a touchstone for any established portly English actor (and one American), partly because of his history, but also because he led much of his life like an actor. As expected, Gary Oldman did a fantastic job conveying the pride and charisma of the Last Lion. However, I've never spent 20 minutes after a film talking about an actor's makeup before, as Oldman disappears both in performance and person in his Winston Churchill suit.

Worldwide there are some 900 species of Cyperus, wetland and terrestrial. Very complex inflorescences make them difficult to identify casually; spikelets and nutlets are essential for their species identification. Some are grown for food, fibers and perfume; some are considered to be among the “worst weeds in the world”, some provide significant benefits to wildlife. In Florida there are over 50 variations of Cyperus alone (Wunderlin, 2003). The species is represented in nearly every state of the U.S. (Kartesz, 1999).
Flat sedges are sedges. Stems solid, often 3-angled, unbranched, leafy at base; leaf blades from tubular sheaths; inflorescences terminal (on stem tips) well above the leaves, spike-like or in many heads, branched; bracts long, leaf-like (growing around the stem just below the inflorescence); spikelets clustered, axis jointed, spikelet scales in 2 rows; fruit a 2- or 3-sided achene (nutlet).

John F Kennedy International Airport, one of the busiest in the United States, will be getting a US$10 billion upgrade, New York's state governor said Wednesday.
[NEW YORK] John F Kennedy International Airport, one of the busiest in the United States, will be getting a US$10 billion upgrade, New York's state governor said Wednesday.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said the plan calls for creating "a unified, interconnected airport that changes the passenger experience and makes the airport much easier to access and navigate".
In a city that considers itself the centre of the universe, JFK airport is considered a modest 59th in the world in terms of passenger experience behind London Heathrow and Seoul, among many others.
It is famed for overcrowding, flights being late; critics also bemoan the fact that getting to JFK from Manhattan is not fast, smooth or easy.
"John F Kennedy airport was once a world-class transportation hub, envied by the entire nation. Today, it is choked with traffic and burdened with outdated systems and decaying infrastructure," said Pat Foye, Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
With better amenities and security, the goal is for JFK not to lose out to the competition as a source of money, jobs and pride. JFK welcomed 60 million passengers in 2016, and hopes to hit 75 million in 2030, and 100 million by 2050.
"For each million passengers that JFK fails to accommodate, the region loses approximately US$140 million in wages, US$400 million in sales, and 2,500 jobs. JFK is one of the only major airports in the world that does not offer travelers a one seat ride from its city center," Mr Foye stressed.
Of the almost US$10 billion budget, 8 billion is for terminals and 1.5 to 2 billion for road and highway improvements. | 2019-04-25T18:35:58 | https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/transport/jfk-airport-to-get-us10b-world-class-upgrade |

If you have to do auto repairs for your Fiat Albea then it will always be recommended to own a Workshop Manual to use as a reference in case you want to know tips to take off a particular component for example the Clutch and fit it again efficiently.
Fiat Albea Workshop Manuals gives you detailed diagnostic details for your car or truck so if something is playing up it will help you discover what the situation is and how to correct it. Then you are able to analyse if this can be achieved yourself or that the job is simply too big you could make a booking for your Albea right into a decent mechanic. | 2019-04-25T04:55:31 | http://car.workshop-manuals.net/manuals/Fiat/Albea/ |

I’m a big fan of introducing little ones to the magic of Disney early on, and there is no better place to celebrate your daughter’s birthday! There are dozens of attractions you can enjoy as a family in the theme parks. If an attraction is listed as being for “any height,” then it’s safe for your baby to ride with you! Some favorites my whole family likes to experience together are “it’s a small world,” Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Peter Pan’s Flight, Jungle Cruise, Pixar Pal-A-Round, and Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! For those rides not suitable for your little ones, you may want to take advantage of the Rider Switch program, which allows Guests with children who don’t meet the minimum height requirement to take turns experiencing attractions. One of you can ride while the other adult stays with the kids. You then "swap" so the second adult can enjoy the attraction without waiting in line all over again.
There is a Baby Care Center in each of the two theme parks that will be a helpful resource for you while exploring with your infant! They provide full-size changing tables, private nursing spaces with comfy chairs, and baby food prepping areas with a sink and microwave. You’ll also be able to purchase essentials like diapers, wipes, baby food, formula, bottles, pacifiers, sunscreen, some over-the-counter medicines and other essentials you might need. You can find the Baby Care Center in Disneyland Park at the end of Main Street, U.S.A. next to First Aid. In Disney California Adventure Park, it’s located next to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop.
I hope this helps, Lorena! Please stop by again with more Disneyland Resort questions as your pixie-dusted vacation approaches! | 2019-04-20T03:08:48 | https://disneyparksmomspanel.disney.go.com/question/hihow-months-ride-rides-disneyland-planing-daughter-374459/ |
Caitlin Kelley says she wants to be a librarian to “connect people with information they need to live their best lives.” On the way to her goal, she spent a week at the National Library of Medicine.
Kelley was one of eight library students who came to NLM as part of an alternative spring break program offered by their schools. While the library has been participating in such programs for several years, this was the most extensive effort yet. NLM hosted students from the University of Michigan the first week in March; the University of Kentucky the second week; and the University of Illinois the third week.
NLM Associate Fellow Kevin Read describes NLM’s Visible Human Project during a tour for University of Kentucky interns Rebecca Freihaut, Emma Kelly and Alexa Clark.
The interns were paired with people throughout NLM and assigned to work on a specific project. They also met with Library Operations senior staff and toured the library and lunched with NLM’s current Associate Fellows.
Kelley spent her week with NLM’s Division of Extramural Programs (EP), which is creating a mechanism to track the outcomes of NLM-funded grants. “Being able to point to concrete results is important and it’s been wonderful to be a part of that process,” she says. Kelley, a University of Michigan student, is getting an MLS and a graduate certificate in health informatics. She ultimately wants to work as a health sciences librarian.
Student Yungjin Shin is still deciding the focus of her library career. She has two part-time jobs in the library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The week at NLM was her first exposure to a health sciences library.
“This is my first semester in library science and I want to have as many experiences as I can,” she says. Shin spent her week with NLM’s National Information Center on Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR). So did University of Kentucky student Alexa Clark, and University of Michigan students Connie Jeng and Andy Lin. They each helped update information on phpartners.org, a Web site with information for the public health work force. Clark says she’s grateful for what she called a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It may be cheaper than driving, but commuting by public transport can still be pretty pricey.
Commuting to work via public transportation is usually cheaper than driving everywhere.
But in these major cities, a monthly pass for public transportation may still be a major expense.
The most expensive cities for commuting to work are in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
In London, the most expensive city in the world for public transportation, you'll need to shell out nearly $197 for a month of riding the Tube. In New York City, a monthly transit pass costs $121.
Here are the 16 most expensive cities in the world for commuting via public transportation each month. All prices are in US dollars. | 2019-04-26T12:03:56 | https://www.businessinsider.com/most-expensive-cities-commuting-2017-5 |

When HP spins out its PC division, what will be left in the company? Everything below except for the "Personal Systems Group."

Original Dabur ayurvedic product. Feels warm on hands and body so makes baby feel cozy. Refer to picture for ingredients. Regular massage is beneficial in many ways and this oil is one of the good options available.No purfume or artificial smell so some may not like it. Smell is not bad but it’s a matter of personal choice.
good product but the price was set at almost MRP. I think online products should be discounted more than the local pharmacies. | 2019-04-23T04:44:33 | https://www.onlineshopportal.com/product/dabur-lal-tail-500-ml/ |

With his personal sponsors reportedly linked to Sauber's new owners, many regard Marcus Ericsson as one of the most brazen pay drivers to enter Formula One in recent years.
But is it time to give the Swede, set to begin his fourth F1 season in 2017, the credit he deserves?
Behind the wheel of a dreadful car in the most difficult of seasons for Sauber, Ericsson has generally outperformed highly rated team-mate Felipe Nasr.
And although Nasr scored the team's first points of 2016 in the recent Brazilian Grand Prix, Ericsson's performances across this season have clearly impressed the team, who have awarded him with a new contract.
Ericsson says he now feels at home at Sauber, while Esteban Ocon is expecting to immediately feel at home at Force India when he joins the team at the beginning of 2017.
Alongside Sergio Perez―the most successful driver in Force India's history―Ocon may struggle to establish himself at the Silverstone-based outfit next season, but the Mercedes-backed youngster is convinced the pair will be equals from the start.
While Ocon is eager to beat his new team-mate, Jolyon Palmer is ready to welcome his, with the British driver suggesting his partnership with Nico Hulkenberg will be key to Renault's success in 2017.
Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz Jr. has explained why it is unfair to judge his boyhood idol, Fernando Alonso, on the amount of world championships he has won.

Once in a lifetime vacations are the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebratory meal. Whether you’re celebrating a marriage, a birthday, a retirement or the simple joy of gathering your loved ones together, an excellent culinary experience is sure to create a lasting memory. The dinner table is a place of community. The shared event of indulging in both new and familiar dishes creates a sense of unity. Villa travel to Italy offers just such an opportunity to experience special moments together around a jovial table. Unlike a celebration at even the finest of restaurants, your in-villa dining experience will be a culinary journey, with the chance to engage with your food, understand and learn the history behind the dishes and try new things with your friends and family.
One of Homebase Abroad’s in-house chefs, Rossa Rossellini is responsible for curating and crafting the dishes that will shape your dining memories at Podere due Scale and Villa d’Orcia. Whether it’s your first trip to Italy or your fifth, Chef Rossa will ignite your tastebuds and indulge all of your senses with her authentic Italian cooking.
Engaging in the cooking process–from gathering fresh ingredients to selecting the menu—provides guests with the opportunity to make memories.
Guests have the opportunity to be as involved as they’d like to be in the preparation and planning of their meal. Chef Rossa takes pride in sourcing all of her ingredients as locally as possible—whether that be vegetables straight from the farmer’s garden or a nearby outdoor market. She cooks exclusively with Chianina beef, a local breed known for high quality meat.
Chef Rossa’s menus are dictated by produce that is in-season. She selects only the best and freshest ingredients as the base for her cooking. Oftentimes she sources ingredients straight from the gardens of Homebase Abroad’s villas. Younger children and adults alike are invited to help gather fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables from the villa gardens, adding a sense of ownership to the dining experience.
Chef Rossa serves familiar dishes like a traditional Bolognese alongside more ‘advanced’ Italian dishes such as Saltimbocca (veal wrapped in prosciutto and sage and marinated in wine). Allowing the guests to plan their week’s meals off her the menu proves a bonding experience in itself. “I usually write the courses in Italian and then translate it to English,” says Rossa. “I write it in Italian first because it’s important the guests begin to learn the names… it’s kind of a game for them…an experience in itself,” explained Rossa.
Multiple courses give guests the chance to reflect, savor and commune together.
Food in Italy is meant to be savoured. The time and thought that goes into preparing a true Italian meal is reflected in the quality of the courses. Each dish is presented thoughtfully and expected to be savored individually. Nothing is rushed. The natural pause between courses provides guests the time to reflect, savor and share in each other’s company.
“My aim is to offer a gastronomic and cultural journey through flavors,” says Rossa. Interaction with all aspects of the meal preparation is part of what guides guests on that journey. Each course of the meal, from the antipasti (the first course in Italy: traditionally including cured meats, olives, peperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses) to the dolce (meaning dessert: which may be a tiramisu, panna cotta, panettone or even gelato) you will learn the the unique Italian way of dining.
Simply put, delicious food leaves lasting memories.
Dining with friends and family can be more than just simply filling the belly–it’s the heart of Italian villa travel. | 2019-04-24T00:27:56 | https://homebaseabroad.com/jovial-table-celebratory-meals-vacation/ |
Monday links — The calm before the storm?
As I type this at about 8 a.m. Monday, there is not much new out there on the Seattle/Sacramento situation.
Maybe it’s simply a little lull before we get into the heart of a week that may decide this issue for good.
As sort of a primer on how we’ve gotten to this point, I wrote this story for the Monday paper looking back at the road Chris Hansen has traveled in his quest to bring the Sonics back to Seattle. I probably could have written a story four times that long and not addressed everything that’s happened. But hopefully the story hit the high points.
— Also today, the Sacramento Bee has this short story for Monday previewing what may be head.
— And the Sacramento Kings’ blog Cowbell Kingdom says expansion is unlikely. | 2019-04-24T08:21:20 | http://blogs.seattletimes.com/nbainseattle/2013/04/15/monday-links-the-calm-before-the-storm/ |

I went through a long showdown with tendonitis of the hamstring. At its worst it was a constant source of discomfort that occupied at least a fraction of my attention at all times. I knew that I had to heal before I would get back my to usual smiling happy self. So I worked hard, stretching, walking, running: rehabilitating.
My hamstring doesn’t bother me much anymore. But you know what? Now that it no longer dominates the focus of my attention, I am reminded that my back hurts, as it always has. But I had completely forgotten about that for the last year or so because during that time it didn’t hurt.
So I am not the content, distraction-free person I expected to be. Now that I have solved the hamstring problem my current distractions draw my attention to the next health-related job: keep my back strong, flexible, and pain-free.
This is a version of the focusing illusion. People are motivated by expected psychological rewards that never come. The classic story is moving to California. People in Michigan declare that they would be much happier if they lived in California, but as it turns out people in California just about as miserable as people who still live in Michigan.
Pain and pleasure make up the compensation package in Nature’s incentive scheme. Our attention is focused on what needs to be done using the lure of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. And if it feels like she is repeatedly moving the goal posts, that may be all part of the plan according to a new paper by Arthur Robson and Larry Samuelson.
They model the way evolution shapes our preferences based on two constraints: a) there’s a limit to how happy or unhappy we can be and b) emotional states are noisy. Emotions will evolve into an optimal mechanism for guiding us to the best decisions. Following the pioneering research of Luis Rayo and Gary Becker, they show that the most effective way to motivate us within these constraints is to use extreme rewards and penalties. If we meet the target, even by just a little, we are maximally happy. If we fall short, we are miserable.
This is the seed of a focussing illusion. Because after I heal my hamstring Nature again needs the full range of emotions to motivate me to take care of my back. So after the briefest period of relief, she quickly resets me back to zero, threatening once again misery if I don’t attend to the next item on the list. If I move to California, I enjoy a fleeting glimpse of my sought-after paradise before she re-calibrates my utility function, so that now I have to learn to surf before she’ll give me another taste. | 2019-04-23T06:17:28 | https://cheaptalk.org/2010/07/25/the-focusing-illusion/ |

Curry Vault Indian Restaurant & Bar is Melbourne’s finest Indian dining experience. We’re situated off Collins Street in the picturesque Bank Place in the CBD.
We are based in the serene environs of Patterson Lakes in Melbourne and recently the future of Indian cuisine has arrived in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs with the opening of Shavan’s Restaurant at Pinewood Shopping Village, Mount Waverley.
The name Shakahari, incidentally, is the Hindi word for "vegetarian". For more than forty years Shakahari has been one of this city's most innovative restaurants.
Eschewing compromise, Shakahari has maintained a firm commitment to the two fundamentals of its cuisine: It is completely vegetarian and it uses only fresh, natural ingredients. Menus are changed quarterly to take full advantage of seasonally available fruits and vegetables and there are no artificial ingredients or colourants used.
Shakahari has pioneered other fields in its fascinating development. Beginning in the early '70s by introducing ideas from Japanese, Chinese and Thai culinary traditions. In style, Shakahari's cuisine has always been East-West even before this term became the familiar way to describe cooking which uses Asian ingredients and skills in a European context.
Today this restaurant's wide appeal rests on its expertise in creating meals which are light but satisfying, natural but attentively detailed in their preparation and presentation.
In keeping with its original Indian inspiration, the interior design of Shakahari's Carlton location uses basic village tones and simple furnishings. It's only indulgence are two magnificent cloth paintings of the 19th century Nathvara (Rajasthan school) and a series of the earliest devotional posters from the Ravi Varma Steam Press, Poona. | 2019-04-20T10:34:44 | https://www.melbournerestaurants.com.au/indian/ |

Moderator: Welcome to WebMD's Live Program Health Focus. Today's discussion will be with Patricia Monaghan author of Meditation, The Complete Guide. WebMD members are encouraged to ask their questions and bring up any concerns they may have. This program will begin at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern.

Moderator: Hello and Welcome to today's Health Focus Program. I would like to begin by welcoming Paticia Monaghan, author of Meditation The Complete Guide to the program. Thank you for joining us here today. Can you begin today's discussion by telling everyone a little bit about your background and area of expertise.
Moderator: Can we begin today's discussion on Meditation by having you explain basically what it is. Then we will have followup questions.
Monaghan: Great idea. I'll start by saying that our definition of meditation is expansive and inclusive. There are some who will argue that only Zen is meditation, or only mind-emptying meditations--but my co-author and I started with a non-limiting vision of meditation, what might be called "functional meditation." Which means that, if it has the results that people are looking for from meditation, we included it. Most people who look for a meditative discipline are looking for one of several results: they are looking for greater peace and serenity in their lives; they are looking for help with some medical condition (stress, chronic pain); or, in a few cases, they are looking for performance enhancement. Much of today's interest in meditation has grown from recent studies that show that meditation does have a significant biophysical effect on the body/mind; meditation is now suggested as an appropriate treatment for chronic pain, for insomnia, and for high blood pressure. But even if someone is attracted to meditation because they prefer it over medication, usually there is some interest in becoming more centered and peaceful as well. Thus we define meditation as activities (or lack of activities!) that center the person in the moment, that free the mind from the continual rant of the inner dialogue, and that promote (although often rather slowly) a more peaceful and serene approach to life. Next.
Moderator: I've heard that meditation is a good type of treatment for chronic pain and cancer treatment, as you mentioned, but how does it help??? Or should I say how does it work??
Moderator: What are some of the different forms of meditation and can you talk about each one and share the differences.
Monaghan: There are many different forms of meditation--about 50 in our book. Let me start by breaking them down according to their history. Many of the forms of meditation that are well-known in the U.S. today are derived from Asian traditions--Zen sitting from Buddhism, t'ai chi from Taoism, yoga from the nexus of Hinduism and Buddhism. But there are western traditions as well, such as that of the Quakers in silent worship, neo-pagan candle meditation, Christian contemplative prayer and others. There are forms of meditation based in Islam, such as Sufi dancing. And what we call "creative meditations," which are based in artistic pursuits. Another way of dividing them is between various forms of meditation which are somewhat sedentary, and those which are active. Sitting and paying attention to your breathing is a form of meditation that appears in many ways, from Sufi breathing to yogic breathing to some forms of Zen. But this more quiet form is not the only kind of meditation that is possible. Some people meditate--focus their minds, relieve their stress, find peace--through action, whether that be a patterned movement like t'ai chi or something less structured, like gardening or needlecrafts. My own practice includes some of each--Zen meditation each morning, some reading meditation every day, and many activities such as qigong and gardening. next.
Moderator: Are there certain types of personalities that benefit from meditation versus others?
Monaghan: An interesting, and not very easy to answer question, because meditation is not just an activity but a way of life. Maybe it's a good idea to define beginning meditators from more advanced ones. For beginning meditators, it's good to start with something that does not run too much counter to your general approach to life. Thus very active people can find it extremely difficult to do a sitting meditation, whereas they may benefit greatly from a moving meditation like yoga or Sufi dancing. A more sedentary person might find it easier to get started with a simple breathing meditation. But as one grows as a meditator, it's often good to work against the grain, as it were--to try meditations that stretch the body/mind in new directions. So at that point a more sedentary person might take up yoga, and a more hyper person might learn haiku, the Zen writing meditation. Incidentally, another underlying principle of our approach is that one need not have one form of meditation only. There are reasons some people might feel uncomfortable with some forms--discomfort from their religious upbringing, for instance--but for both Teri and I, meditation is a gentle encounter with spirit, and not anything which is fearful in any way. next.
Moderator: Is meditation always spiritual?
Monaghan: Absolutely. There is no reason for people to think that meditation means they have to become a devotee of some specific religious orientation--or not. I make the distinction between "religion," which is an organized approach to spirituality, and "spirituality," which is the inner life of human beings. We all have some spirituality, even those who do not believe themselves religious. For those who are not interested in using a religiously-based meditation, there are many ways to experience the benefits of relaxation and serenity that comes with meditation. Crafts, for instance, have the kind of rhythmic movement that is common to meditations. Gardening, too--one of my prime forms of meditation. When I lived in Alaska, as I did for most of my life, some of my most meditative moments occurred when I was picking berries, as I did for hours and hours many summer afternoons. William James, the great philosopher of religion, defined states of timeless unity with the world as "mystical." In that sense, many people are looking for mystical experience through meditation. Not mystical in the "woo-woo" way, like having visions or anything. Mystical in the sense of knowing--not THINKING, not imagining, but knowing--that you are connected, in an ineffable and yet powerful way, with the universe. This serenity doesn't usually come immediately with meditation. It can, in fact, take years to attain. That's another thing I want to mention about most meditative techniques--they're not Magic Bullets. I've met people who say, "well, I sat zazen for two weeks, and nothing happened." Nothing is likely to happen in two weeks. But, over time, meditators report a great ease and facility with dealing with the natural stresses of life. And, occasionally-- although not every day, even for advanced meditators--there are those times of timeless connection that make everything make sense. next.
Moderator: At what age can one begin practicing meditation?
Moderator: Should you do meditation in a particular place or a particular time?
DebbieDavis_WebMD: Why do you think meditation has grown in popularity and do you think it's a lot of people getting on the meditation band wagon? What do true / purest meditators think of the rapid growth and popularity of their sacred ritual.
Monaghan: Very good question. There is a bandwagon about meditation right now, and many different forms of meditation are being taught. Some people who practice a specific form express anger at what they see as a diluting of their practice, which is precious to them. While I can appreciate the sense of desire that meditative traditions aren't sold like patent medicine--which they are not--I also feel that some people who present themselves as spiritual have other motives as well (or in addition) to aiding others spiritually. Whenever someone charges a great deal of money, has many levels of initiation which are almost impossible to attain, or otherwise makes wisdom secret and expensive, my personal belief is that it's not about spirituality anymore. I would advise against paying huge sums for learning a specific breathing technique, for instance. Most meditative breathing techniques are similar, though not identical. All that said, though, it's also important to realize that meditation is a commitment--if it's going to work. Dabbling in meditation isn't harmful, but it's not especially helpful. Once you've found a meditation that suits your lifestyle and beliefs, it's very important to keep it up, not to be casual about it. Daily meditation is like toothbrushing. You don't want to fall out of the habit. next.
Moderator: How often should you practice meditation to receive optimum benefits?
Moderator: You have mentioned a few benefits from meditation in our discussion, can talk a little more about what one gains by practicing meditation?
Moderator: We are almost out of time. Before we say good bye is there anything else you would like to add.
Moderator: Unfortunately that's all the time we have. I would like to thank Patricia Monaghan, author of Meditation, The Complete Guide for coming back on WebMD and being our guest speaker this afternoon. This discussion has been very informative. I encourage WebMD members to check the program schedule to see what other shows we have coming up. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
