Security CEO and founder of Safe Quantum Inc., working with data-driven companies to define, develop and deploy quantum-safe technologies.
Early experiences working in security taught me that to really have a good defense, you need to have depth—you need more than one technology. You can’t just have antivirus, for example, you also need anomaly detection. You need all sorts of things that won’t fail the same way.
I look at what we're doing today in quantum communications the same way.
That means our defenses can't be all post-quantum cryptography (PQC) or all quantum key distribution (QKD). They can't be all entanglement-based. It needs to be a combination of those things that will be successful.
Yet, in quantum today, there is uncertainty. Just look at where we are with post-quantum cryptography as NIST enters its seventh year of vetting candidate algorithms.
In my view, the U.S. government’s biggest challenge may be that it is taking a bifurcated approach to how we view quantum security and quantum networking.
On the one hand, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has done an excellent job in whittling down more than 80 algorithm submissions to a few finalist crypto standards, but there have been some bumps along the way that are worrisome.
One finalist algorithm and one semi-finalist were hacked with a laptop computer—nothing close to a powerful quantum computer. Understanding the potential for a quantum computer to be able to break cryptographic standards even more quickly in the future, the NIST algorithms are being re-labeled as “quantum-resistant” rather than “quantum proof."
On the other hand, we have the Department of Defense, led by the National Security Agency, concerned about what QKD might not be able to guard against, which has possibly slowed development in QKD technologies and QKD-enabled networks.
The risk there is that the United States isn’t doing any of this in a vacuum. China and Europe are already well ahead in launching QKD network testbeds.
Doom and gloom aside, there are very interesting things being done in quantum today. There’s a big focus on building quantum memory and on developing all the components necessary to have an entangled photon transmission network. That’s particularly exciting from a security perspective because you’re instantly aware if someone is trying to hack into that system.
This is where the future of quantum security is going.
The most important thing we must do is commit to a much more cooperative effort across all the government agencies involved in quantum security, including entities like the Department of Energy, which is responsible for protecting the nation’s electric power grid.
Business leaders, in particular, can do three things today.
1. Examine your own security gaps to see what a quantum future holds.
2. Re-imagine quantum as a competitive differentiator, particularly in industries such as telecommunications and network services.
3. Actively seek to engage in public-private partnerships to accelerate the development and adoption of quantum technologies.
Between the federal government, university research arms and the technology leaders investing heavily in quantum, there is the ability to create a defense-in-depth quantum security strategy that would prevent the reliance on just one solution—and one point of failure.
And the time to act is now. For example, the QKD hardware available today works well and has been proven to deter “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. This prevents attackers who may steal encrypted data and hold it until a quantum computer becomes available that can crack it.
It would be very wise to combine these technologies and get the best of all of them. While quantum computers are viewed as a potentially dangerous tool, they’re far more critical as a very positive thing that will change the world for the better in the next 10 to 20 years.

Michael Flatley Talks About Michael
Some footage of the Irish Riverdance leader Michael Flatley has been brought to our attention, where he talks lovingly about the time he spent with Michael Jackson.
The two electric dancers first met during Michael’s HIStory World Tour in 1996 and remained in contact since. In 2008, just after Michael turned 50, whilst staying and recording in Ireland, he stayed at Flatley’s home.
Listen to some of the touching and memorable stories Flatley has and just how much he obviously felt for Michael in these two videos:

After their breakup, the world was left heartbroken, lonely and cold. The two started dating back in 2012, but quickly ended their relationship. News, Wilmer and Minka recently went on a vacation to Mexico together with a few friends.If Demi And Wilmer couldn’t make it, then was there hope for any of us? Love is dead so let’s all just stay single and make out with each other. They were also spotted on a dinner date in Hollywood last night, so I guess things really are official.Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama split after six years of dating Rockhold, of Santa Cruz, California, won the title of UFC Middleweight Champion in December 2015 after defeating previous champ Chris Weidman.
Lovato is currently on tour with fellow former Disney Channel star Nick Jonas, the brother of her ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas.

The 36-year-old spent the day with Mandy Moore, whom he dated for two years back in the early 2000s. All I know is Demi is living up the single girl life, and I couldn’t be more proud.
Hmmmm, it looks like Wilmer is suddenly reconnecting with all his ex-girlfriends. Katie Corvino graduated from The University of Michigan in 2015 and joined Elite Daily shortly after as the Senior Entertainment Writer.
The singer just celebrated her 24th birthday on Saturday.
Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama dated for six years before calling it quits at the beginning of June. Now, just a few months later, it’s been confirmed Wilmer is getting back together with an ex… Wilmer is dating Minka Kelly again, and Lovatics aren’t OK.

Wasteland 2 Character Portrait Revealed
6:00 AM | Cord Kruse | Comment on this story
In a Twitter post InXile Entertainment's Brian Fargo recently revealed a character portrait from the company's upcoming Wasteland 2 RPG. Must like its classic post-apocalyptic predecessor, the game will center around the exploits of a band of desert rangers struggling to keep order in a world recovering from disaster.
Wasteland 2 is the direct sequel to the first ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG. The original Wasteland was the inspiration for the FALLOUT series of games, and the first RPG to allow players to split parties for tactical considerations, to face players with moral choices, and to make them deal with the consequences of their actions. It was the first to provide far more than the one-key-for-one-lock style of puzzle solving. It was groundbreaking, which is why IGN named it one of the top 25 PC games of all time, Computer Gaming World named it the Adventure Game of the year in 1988, and it was short-listed for inclusion in the Smithsonian Institution’s current “Art of the Computer Game” exhibition.Check out the new image at the link below.
Wasteland 2 Character Portrait
Wasteland was set in a dangerous, post-apocalyptic world in the American Southwest. Over the course of adventures rangers would receive promotions, acquire new skills and equipment, then face new challenges with outcomes that changed depending on the strategy used to defeat them. The game featured a strong storyline which required painful decisions by players; and a storyline that allowed for maximum re-playability. Wasteland 2, with your participation and insights, will recapture all that and provide more. It'll finally be the game worthy to be a Wasteland sequel, as challenging and rewarding as the original, with all added capacity and dazzle of games today.

Tigerwine is premiering the new music video for ‘Spit’ at New Noise Magazine. The track appears on their upcoming debut LP, “Die With Your Tongue Out”, which is set for release on 04/14 through Blood & Ink. The album was recorded with Matt Goldman (Underoath, Anberlin, The Chariot) at Glow In The Dark Studios and shows the group maturing their sound in ways most bands don’t achieve until well into their careers. The video can be seen below.
Tigerwine is hitting the road this spring with Daisyhead and Northbound.
Vocalist and guitarist Hayden Trobee says that this sonic stew was no accident. “I’ve always said that Tigerwine is just a love letter to every band we’ve ever been into, and I think we really embraced that,” he says. “When we were first starting to write the record, we resolved that if we liked something—whether it be a riff, beat, lyrics, melody, what have you—we weren’t going to throw it out just because it didn’t ‘sound like us,’ and I think that put us in a position where we just had to force things to work.” Continue reading »

From Rivendell Wiki
We set up the vnc and other tunnels via ssh with a bash script like this:
#!/bin/bash echo "SSH to port forwarded rdserver with tunnels" echo "vnc71, 6201:6201, 8090:80, 8100:8000" echo "6201 is the orban?)" ssh -p 2022 -L 6201:192.168.1.15:6201 -L 5971:localhost:5901 -L 8090:localhost:80 -L 8100:192.168.1.9:8000 -X email@example.com
At the some.routable.ip.address we have the firewall/router that the rivendell server sits behind on a static ip address or on a reserved ip address in the router so that we can set up the port forward on the router.
In this example, that would be something like: 192.168.1.10
The port forwards would be something like this:
2022 external -> 192.168.1.10:22 internal (vnc control of rivendell server) 8100 external -> 192.168.1.9:8000 internal (icecast server for relay pull)
The tunnels are like this:
- vnc client connects to 5971 and gets to 5900 on localhost
- web browser connects to localhost:8090 and goes to port 80 on localhost which is an apache web server
- web browser connects to localhost:8100 and goes to port 8000 on the icecast server
- vlc or another audio player capable of streaming from an icecast server can connect to http://localhost:8100/stream.m3u to listen to the stream over the tunnel.
- vlc or another audio player capable of streaming from an icecast server can connect to http://some.routable.ip.address:8100/stream.m3u to listen to the stream over the open internet
- optimod software can connect to localhost on port 6201 to connect to the optimod port 6201 at 192.168.1.15

Q. A reader asked, “My husband and I are planning a vacation, but we now have a one year old daughter. This will be our first vacation since she was born. We are worried about what to expect and what to pack Please help.”
A. Vacation time is here again and time to begin to planning for a great trip. However, with having a little one to tote around some extra planning is necessary. Parents may love the idea of getting away from the routine at home and work, but not the thought of a crying baby and having to haul all the extra baby stuff. It is important to prepare for your little traveler’s needs. When planning where to take your vacation, keep in mind that babies do not do well having to sit for long periods of time. Staying close to home for the baby’s first vacation may be a good idea. However if you are still planning a long-distance trip then there are a few things parents should consider.
Tips for vacationing parents include:
Baby-proofing your hotel room. Asking hotel staff if they have anything special for babies such as rooms or items available. Also ask if they can baby-proof the room before you arrive.
Flying with your baby. If you plan on flying you may want to consider taking a car seat which may be more comfortable for your baby. Think about planning flying times around when your child takes their nap and feeding them right before boarding the plane.
Take Snacks. This eliminates the need for constant stopping to buy snacks and also keep baby satisfied with minimal disturbances.
Packing light. Taking only the essentials such as stroller, diapers, toys, clothes, baby seat, and wipes, etc.
Keeping plans flexible. When traveling with your baby keep in mind that your plans may have to change at any moment. Parents can still have lots of fun on vacation even if your plans change. Lastly, don’t forget to have fun yourself and take lots of pictures.

Ethernet usage could boost wireless speed
Kate McClelland | Wednesday, February 13, 2008
Though wireless is the Internet connection of choice for many students on campus, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) says using an Ethernet cable will help speed up the network.
Every dorm room on campus is equipped with an Ethernet outlet and if students made more use of them, there wouldn’t be as much traffic in the wireless network, said Dewitt Latimer, chief technology officer.
“It’s like the old-fashioned party line that telephones used to be connected to – the more people on the line, the worse the connection becomes,” Latimer said.
However, he said OIT ultimately recommends using the connection that is appropriate to what you are trying to accomplish online.
“If you’re trying to download and play a two gigabyte movie, then you should be using the wired connection for the best results,” Latimer said. “But if you’re watching TV with your friends and IM-ing or checking your e-mail at the same time, the wireless connection is what is best for you.”
For students on the run, the higher navigation speeds may be the dealbreaker.
“I usually get on the Internet before class and I try to use the Ethernet connection in my room because it seems to be faster and more reliable,” sophomore Jim Healy said.
But for students who enjoy the mobility that the wireless connection gives them, the Ethernet option is too constraining.
“I’m not even sure when I usually go on the Internet – I just check my e-mail whenever I sit down at my desk. And I just use the wireless network, because it’s more convenient than dealing with the Ethernet cord,” sophomore Jen Valencia said.
Sophomore Eileen Walsh said she uses the wireless connection simply because of the way her furniture is arranged.
“Right now my desk isn’t near the Ethernet outlet so I use the wireless network but last year I used my Ethernet connection all of the time,” Walsh said.
According to OIT, student computer usage peaks between the hours of 5 P.M. and 3 A.M. each day. During that time, there is an average of 1,400 simultaneous Ethernet connections and 3,400 simultaneous wireless connections.
“I usually use the Internet in the early evening – I’ll check my mail before and after dinner,” Walsh said.
While OIT’s system registers every connection – Ethernet or wireless – it does not distinguish between users who use both the wired and the wireless connections, so it is possible for a user to be counted twice, Latimer said.
The average network throughput on the ResNet wired network is 300 megabytes per second while the Nomad wireless network rate is only 150, so the wired connection will be significantly faster if you are downloading a large file, he said.

When you begin to hear phrases like, “poor public policy” and “this increase is unprecedented”, you know there’s a battle brewing. When it’s in Congress, you know it’s going to be anything but pleasant, is sure to have plenty of rhetoric and is bound to come with a healthy dose of threats of shutting the government down. The Medicare increases for 2016 are shaping up to be one more confusing failure that has few, if any, viable solutions to protect the nation’s seniors.
Lawmakers, so far, have been unable to agree on a solution that will prevent massive premium increases for millions of Medicare recipients in 2016. Medicare Part B coverage, which includes doctors’ visits and outpatient care is facing a whopping 52 percent increase in the premiums. Efforts to freeze or even to simply reduce the increase have yielded no solutions.
Medicare Open Enrollment
Now, for those enrolled in Medicare, they’re in the open enrollment season and unsure of what their decisions will ultimately mean. Congress has so far been able to make any decision that could ease those worries. Open enrollment closes December 7.
State by State
Further complicating matters is the inability of states to balance their own budgets due to the inaction of the federal government. They’re sure to be hit hard and no state is without its own ongoing budget woes. The premium increase would affect about nine million lower-income Medicare beneficiaries whose premiums are paid by state Medicaid programs because they are eligible for both plans.
Meanwhile, those new to the program, those whose incomes are higher and Medicare recipients who do not receive Social Security will take the biggest hits on the increases. They can expect, on average, an increase in their Medicare Part B premiums of around $55 monthly or $650 monthly.
Social Security Adds to Woes
The Social Security Administration just announced that because of low inflation, its beneficiaries won’t be receiving a cost of living increase for 2015. Close to 70 percent of Social Security recipients are covered by the hold harmless clause that prevents their checks being reduced if the costs of Medicare premiums increase and their benefits do not. That means 30 percent of Social Security recipients will shoulder the cost increases for the full 100 percent.
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell has reiterated the commitment of her agency to find ways to offset those increases, likely in the form of programs that can reduce the premium rises.
The Obama Administration is watching the developments and insists it’s committed to keeping the premiums affordable by “exploring all options”.
For now, there are no solutions and we’re well into the Medicare open enrollment.

Consisting primarily of stand-alone episodes that integrate ongoing story arcs, season 2 showcases the primary cast with generally good results: Mayweather (Anthony Montgomery) visits the "boomer" cargo ship he was raised on in "Horizon"; Hoshi (Linda Park) experiences unsettling transporter symptoms in "Vanishing Point"; and Tucker (Connor Trineer) plays a pivotal role in several episodes, notably "Dawn," "Precious Cargo" and "Cogenitor." And while "Regeneration" provoked controversy among fans for introducing the yet unnamed Borg in an early Starfleet context, it's a fine episode (with echoes of The Thing) that holds up to scrutiny, while others (including "The Crossing," "The Breach" and "Cogenitor") feel somewhat recycled, indicating the challenge of finding new ideas in the Star Trek canon. Overall, however, season 2 is consistently strong, with several episodes directed by cast alumni from previous Trek series, including NextGen's LeVar Burton, and Voyager's Roxanne Dawson and Robert Duncan McNeill. They all lead up to a devastating attack on Earth (with seven million casualties, including Trip's younger sister) in "The Expanse," ending the season with high-stakes mystery as Enterprise enters a treacherous region of space in search of the Xindi, an enemy race that factors heavily in season 3.
Abundant bonus features include a generous selection of deleted scenes (non-essential, but interesting to fans); audio commentary (on "Dead Stop" and "Regeneration") by writers Mike Sussman and Phyllis Strong, who explain the challenge of writing under constantly shifting production conditions; and text commentary (on "Stigma" and "First Flight"), in which Trek veterans Michael and Denise Okuda demonstrate their encyclopedic knowledge of Star Trek fact and fiction. Six Easter eggs, known as "NX-01 Files," are hidden on the Special Features menus; they offer brief glimpses into specific aspects of production, including set recycling and art direction. "Enterprise" secrets are revealed for those who pay meticulous attention to detail; "Inside 'A Night in Sickbay'" offers a behind-the-scenes assessment of that memorable episode; and "LeVar Burton: Star Trek Director" celebrates the actor's smooth transition to directing after his stint on Next Generation. "Enterprise Profile: Jolene Blalock" is a tribute to the sexy actress by her fellow cast members and executive producers Brannon Braga and Rick Berman, including Blalock's assessment of T'Pol's pivotal role as Enterprise's resident Vulcan. Best of all, however, are the hilarious outtakes: They show the cast as a family unit, combining hard work with humor as the second season progresses. --Jeff Shannon
The photography is excellent.
The script focuses too much on action and cartoon characterizations.
Season 4 is lengthy, redundant, too reptilian and tedious.
Season two is just as good as season 1, story line keeps with original series. It's quite entertaining.Published 3 days ago by doowhop69
An often overlooked Star Trek Series, Enterprise really gets its legs in Season 2. Brilliant writing and acting. I only wish there were 7 seasons instead of just 4.Published 4 days ago by CAMPFIRESKY
I have watched and like all the Star Trek shows, Enterprise near the top of the list. The characters are well done and the stories are very good.Published 7 days ago by Denniss

The School of Good & Evil : The Last Ever After is the final tome in the trilogy so I was worried that it would start to drag or get repetitive, as is often the case with book series of a predetermined length - sometimes you can tell that by the time he/she got to the final book, the author was running out of ideas or enthusiasm - but that was certainly not the case for Soman Chainani. The final volume is a breath-taking masterpiece that had me compulsively turning the pages. It may be a whopping 655 pages long but I raced through it in just over a week !
To backtrack slightly, you may remember than in book one, Agatha and Sophie ended their fairy tale by giving up the prince that they were both fighting over in favour of a happy ending together as friends, back in Gavaldon, away from the School for Good & Evil. In book two, they were swept back into their story when they realised that this wasn't enough for either of them, and they soon discovered that their decision had caused havoc, with the school becoming The School for Boys & Girls, and the two sexes at war. At the end of this book, the girls appeared to find their respective Happy Ever Afters, with Agatha and Tedros together and Sophie betrothed to the evil School Master.
In The Last Ever After, we learn that Agatha and Tedros have got off to a rocky start though. Constantly bickering, unable to feel at one, they soon realise what is missing : Sophie ! They decide to head back to the School, rescue Sophie from her evil fiancé and bring her into their own happy ending. Unfortunately, Sophie doesn't share their view of a Happy Ever After and, once again, war is declared, with the powers of Good and Evil in a dramatic fight to the death.
Sophie and Tedros will need all the help they can get, and it comes in the form of the League of Thirteen - thirteen famous but now totally decrepit fairy tale heroes, including Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Tinkerbell. I found the passages involving the OAP fairytale heroes deliciously irreverent and totally hilarious. The classic fairy tales aren't the only literary traditions to be reworked though - the author also brings in the legend of King Arthur, as Tedros is King Arthur's son and heir to the throne of Camelot.
As the plot meanders through numerous unexpected twists and turns, we uncover the hidden story of Agatha and Sophie and learn what has really been pulling the girls together and pushing them apart throughout the entire trilogy - I did see some of it coming but not all of it by a long chalk. The epic final battle is a crazy mix of humour and excitement and it really seems as though the final outcome could go either way right up to the very end. The ending made me smile - it seemed right, for everyone, good or evil.
The beautiful trailer has made me really hope that one day, the series will be made into a Hollywood blockbuster or even a TV series, in the vein of The Lord of the Rings crossed with Once Upon A Time. It would be a sure fire hit and would give the classic fairy tales a new lease of life !

Finding a loyal and charming accomplice for all times is often a challenge. As Vietnam is a member of ASEAN, Vietnamese are permitted to stay one month from time of entry without requiring a visa. Some nationalities are much less common, some are in demand, but Vietnamese ladies are a few of the hottest females amongst single men from everywhere in the world.
My Asian wife (and the same goes for my relationships with other Asian ladies up to now) is modest and I want a fraction of the money I wanted within the West early on. For those who miss the mild manners of a cultured girl, then that’s practically the specialty of Vietnamese women.
Over the previous year, one Vietnamese bride was beaten to dying by her South Korean husband, one other jumped out a 14th-story window and a 3rd hanged herself on Valentine’s Day, forsaking a diary full of misery. 1 Social community also influence the international marriage in border areas the place Vietnamese have close connections with Chinese.
What makes Vietnamese ladies relationship a lot extra enticing than some other ladies is their ability to look perfect even without making use of an excessive amount of make-up. If you are planning so far and marry an Asian, a Vietnamese mail order bride can appear to be an excellent alternative that will make your friends jealous and absolutely make you content.
Vietnam is a rustic with rich traditions and this leaves the mark on the women. Vietnamese ladies have extraordinary grace and elegance. Most individuals usually are not affected person once they discover a Vietnamese bride. BrightBrides is barely courting vietnamese ladies completely totally different from other relationship reviewers as we select solely these platforms that our consultants personally chosen and favorited.
In the past, most marriages have been organized by the dad and mom or extended family, and whereas the children eager to marry or get married were consulted, the ultimate decision was made by the dad and mom. Take it into consideration when courting a Vietnamese.
Full with illustrations, these and other classes from a South Korean authorities textbook make up programs offered throughout Vietnam for girls preparing to hitch their husbands within the northeast Asian nation. Though we have mentioned earlier that Vietnamese brides are humble, modest, and shy, it does not change the fact that these women even have a robust personality, which is cultivated by the need to survive and make both ends meet in Vietnam.
Vietnamese women are fantastic to change into a lovely spouse. On common, prices for Vietnamese marriage tours fluctuate between 2,000 USD and 10,000 USD. Patriotism in Vietnam, heightened during vietnamese women for marriage wartime and in recent times in response to globalization, additionally draws a clear distinction between our people” (người mình) and their folks” (người họ) by way of values, traditions and religions.
The principle motive is the tradition in Vietnam, and the best way sizzling Vietnamese girls live their lives. See the Decree Stipulating the Procedure on Marriage, Adoption of Illegitimate Children, Adoption of Kids and Tutorship of Youngsters between Vietnamese Citizens and Foreigners, which is linked to this Legislation.
Vietnamese girls are conventional and submissive, so they believe that a person must lead the relationship and plan all of the dates. Eventually, the couple might get married within the nation of a overseas man. Vietnamese women courting foreigners also usually marry men from Australia and Europe.

It is more than 15 months since the meltdown of four nuclear reactors in Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station.
Yet the impact of the disaster is still being felt across the globe.
The meltdown followed the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011.
It could be more than 20 years until some of the surrounding areas are again fit for human habitation.
And contamination from the disaster continues to show up further and further away from Japan.
Just last month bluefin tuna caught off the coast of California were found to have radioactive contamination from Fukushima.
Meanwhile wind, rain and ocean currents have carried radioactive particles as far as Scotland and Australia.
Radioactive material could also be among the wave of tsunami debris that is slowly making its way towards the Canadian coast.
Spent fuel from the reactors is still emitting radiation.
Some of it is covered only by plastic.
And thousands of tons of water used to cool the reactors continues to pour into the Pacific Ocean.
Six workers have so far died in the clean-up of the plant.
US nuclear scientist Frank von Nippel estimates that around 1,000 people will die of cancer as a result of the disaster.
He says that 573 “disaster-related” deaths have already been logged around Fukushima.
The disaster led to a wave of revulsion against nuclear power around the world.
The German government has abandoned its nuclear programme amid mass protests.
Italian voters have firmly rejected nuclear power in referendums and France could soon follow.
In Japan itself more than 20,000 people marked the anniversary of the tsunami new anti-nuclear protests.
The last of Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors shut down last month.
But the government—which, along with the Tepco electricity company, has been blamed for the disaster—hopes to bring them back online.
And industry officials say they want to start producing more plutonium-based fuel for a new generation of reactors.


This product is an upper engine mount for a '92 Toyota Camry, specifically the 2.2 liter four-cylinder engine. It will not cause your car to become sentient, transform into an Autobot or do anything cool like that, but if the rubber bushings on your car's upper engine mount are worn out, it will stop it making that clunk-clunk noise when you accelerate and help protect your transmission. Plus, you can remove the old one and install the new one easily with only two wrenches, and then if you like you can pretend the old one is a chunk of mysterious space debris from extraterrestrial Autobots. So, close enough, really. Would definitely buy again.

LGBT rights Photograph:( AFP )
As per the government data, around 20 per cent of sexual minority men in Canada have undergone some form of conversion therapy
Canada has reintroduced a bill to criminalise LGBT conversion therapy in the country, after the earlier trial to ban the therapy faied due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The new bill will include five amendments to Canada's Criminal Code and will include forcing a minor to undergo the therapy in the list of criminal offences.
With the help of this bill, anyone who forces someone to un dergo the conversion therapy or profits off from the practice will be treated as a criminal in the eyes of law.
The bill was previously introduced in the House of Commons in March.
"Conversion therapy is harmful, degrading, and has no place in Canada … I hope that all parties will do the right thing by supporting this bill," Prime Minster Justin Trudeau told reporters on Thursday.
The bill was a promise made by Trudeau in during an unveiling of the party's election platform last year. This year, the party tried to get the bill passed but failed to do so as the Parliament was shut down due to the novel coronavirus.
Conversion therapy is any practice designed to change a person's sexual orientation, which especially harms and stigmatizes those belonging to the lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans community.
As per the government data, around 20 per cent of sexual minority men in Canada have undergone some form of conversion therapy. Lower income, indigenous and trans people are disproportionately exposed to the practice, the data shows.
However, the bill will not apply to those seeking guidance and support from counselors or faith leaders.
As of now, Vancouver in British Columbia and Calgary in Alberta will be banning the practise in the states.

“This, too, shall pass” is something that has stuck with me from the time I was diagnosed with depression until this very day, and will stick with me until my time is up.
After a relatively intensive year 12 period, it was only toward the end of January of 2015 that I decided to take the plunge to see a Doctor about how I had been feeling. It was after discussion with both my parents and Nan (both had experience with mental health) that I finally decided to brave the fact that something was not ok, and that just dealing with it internally was not cutting it. I decided to see a psychologist.
The main reason why I decided this was due to my constant overthinking and overanalysing of situations. I’d just received my Year 12 marks and was completely emotionally exhausted from the experience. I analysed my relationship at the time, my friendships with friends and family. Every little area of my life was under intense scrutiny from my mind. I recall quite clearly how intense the first session with the psychologist was. I left crying, and potentially more confused than I had been before even set foot in the door. I then went back and back, and things started to appear to be looking up. I was given coping techniques in order to deal with my overthinking. Everything seemed to be looking up. I was still unhappy, but was finding ways to cope.
However, not all was as great as I was making it seem. Things began to become more turbulent and troublesome. I started to become more discontent with what was going on within my life.
A celebratory dinner with my girlfriend at the time ended in a rather convoluted night of unknown emotions around the 30th of January 2015. Feelings of anger and self-hatred crept into my mind to an alarming extent and I felt trapped. After dinner, we went to the Schützenfest and I was feeling alarmingly claustrophobic, which was extremely unlike me. Then I was dropped back to my grandma’s apartment with the night ending sitting on a balcony in tears. I contemplated why I was feeling such disgust with myself, and why it was that I was this way. I just could not put my finger on it.
I sat there, bawling my eyes out, and fighting with my ex-girlfriend via text (Who was telling me to get help). I was shattered. I called my Mum and explained to her where I was and how I was feeling, and I felt so horrible for putting her through not being able to be there for me. It was then that I decided that I needed help. I walked into my grandma’s apartment crying uncontrollably, sobbing… an unusual thing for a then 18-year-old male. I was consoled by her and her partner Philip. I was a mess. I could overhear the conversations my grandma was having with my parents, and at that moment, I had never felt so alone. I felt as if everything was collapsing around me.
The next morning was something I won’t forget. I have never felt such a struggle getting out of bed. My sleeping patterns were relatively irregular; however, this was something else. I felt as if I were trapped in my bed with a highly adhesive glue. My grandma had called the Doctor that morning and managed to get me into see one at her local clinic. I managed to climb out of the bed, and I finally mustered the courage to shower. I remember crying in the shower (something that became a regular occurrence over the coming weeks) and being scared out of my mind, being scared to confront what lie ahead of me. In particular, I was scared for those around me, to see the person I’d become. Depression, might I add, should never define a person, but for someone suffering, this can be far from what they believe.
A trip to the Doctor later… the conclusion 30 mg of the anti depressant Duloxetine (An SNRI) … blood tests confirmed nothing was wrong elsewhere… just what was wrong in my mind. The unknown awaited.
I was diagnosed with depression on the 31st of January 2015. The saddening thing is that 45% of the population will be confronted with some form of mental illness at some point in their lives. This has to change.
I was sceptical. I looked at lots of YouTube videos attempting to find out more about Duloxetine. The future was frightening, hearing people say that it did not work for them, and that they were worse as a result. I did not want to take the plunge. I did not want to do this. I did not think I was at this stage, but I finally accepted that this COULD help me. I did it. I remember that moment… the moment of choosing to plunge into the unknown. And so I did it, I swallowed the pill.
Days went by and I was still feeling miserable. I was feeling the side effects of the drug: the nausea, the sweating. This was not the kind of miserable you usually feel when something goes wrong. A misery that you can’t budge. You can’t see past the day. You can’t even really see the day. It becomes a battle within your mind to stop yourself crying. It’s really unbelievable to be in a bed from when you wake up until you fall asleep, crying uncontrollably, being comforted by your grandma at the age of 18. The steps you take to the bathroom are uncontrollably unconscious. You are just not there.
Eventually I mustered up the courage to leave my room. I read books about depression, and had countless discussions with those around me about the issue, and I began to finally feel more like myself. Usually Duloxetine takes 1-2 weeks to begin to work, however, I began to feel “better” after around 6 days. This was incredible. It felt as if a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I felt as if I could finally breathe, and this was when I decided that it was a good time to return to my casual work.
Weeks went by and I began to become more aware of how I was changing. Everything eventually started to feel better, but not 100% right. I started at a Residential College, and everything was hectic. My life was thrown into chaos. I started university, on what I felt like, the back foot. I was scared for the future, and it began to show. I was not myself again, and this scared me. So, I decided that it was time to go back to the Doctor and he recommended furthering my dosage to 60 mg of Duloxetine. This was not as scary as the initial dosage, and so I took that plunge again, and I am so thankful that I did. Eventually, I reached the stage where I was weened off of the anti-depressant. This was something that, to this day, brings a really unexplainable feeling to me.
You know, if there’s one thing I can say about depression, it’s that YOU can beat it. It is something that does not define you. Almost 2 years after being diagnosed with depression, and I’m so happy and content with who I am. I know exactly what it feels like to be at the bottom of yourself, to realise the extent to which one’s mind can wreak havoc. Just please remember that you are not alone and that things WILL get better. I’m so proud of you for fighting if you are suffering with depression or any mental illness for that fact. Don’t let this be the end. Talk to people around you. You can do this. It does get better! This, too, shall pass. Believe me.

Hear Al Green's First New Recording In Nearly A Decade
The Reverend Al Green has long showed music lovers what it means to be blessed by the presence of a great voice. That is, Green's sporadic relationship with the music world beyond the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Memphis, where he's preached most Sundays since 1976, shows us in no uncertain terms that the person doing the blessing is the owner of the golden pipes fans cherish. Al Green, one of America's Top 10 voices, mostly shares his astounding gifts with the believers (and tourists) who make it on a Sunday to 787 Hale Road. He hasn't released a recording in almost ten years.
Until today. Al Green is back, singing secular music – his version of the great Freddie Fender weeper "Before the Next Teardrop Falls."
Green recorded the track at Sam Phillips Studios with Matt Ross-Spang, the brilliant producer and engineer who is the proprietor of that historic mid-century modern Memphis sound shrine. The recording is part of Amazon Music's new "Produced By" series highlighting the gifts of board masters like Ross-Spang; this week's offerings, all produced by him, also features new material from Margo Price, John Prine and William Bell.
Ross-Spang, a music history geek with a brilliant ear for blending studio precision with spontaneity, said in an email that the whole week was exceptional, but one moment during the Green session stood out. "I was fortunate to have some incredible musicians for the session: Ken Coomer (Uncle Tupelo, Wilco), Chad Gamble (Jason Isbell), Al Gamble (St Paul and the Broken Bones) Dave Cousar, Dave Smith and the Reverend Charles Hodges," he wrote. "Charles is the legendary organ player on all the classic Al Green stuff and unbeknownst to me they hadn't played together since the 1980s! The session was already pretty special but their reunion (both musically and personally) was very profound for everyone."
Hodges' Hammond B3 is the condensed rain in the cloud layer that lifts up this country classic. The vintage Hi Records sound that made Green a star reorients the romanticism of Fender's Tejano-inflected arrangement, with a sharper beat, horns and soul-angel background voices. "When Al arrived at the studio he was already incredibly warm and gracious, but he really became animated and enthusiastic when we all started recording the song live in the room," Ross-Spang wrote. "His passion and voice are just as strong as when he first found them as a young man."
These days it feels for many that blessings come few and far between; all we can do is thank Green for bestowing this one on us. Ross-Spang, who credits the crew at North Mississippi's Fat Possum Records as well as Amazon for getting the reticent reverend into the studio, won't say if there will be more sessions at Sam Phillips with him this year. But he hopes so. "The world needs Al Green more than ever!" he noted. Indeed.

Top attractions in Cairns
Cairns is in the north of the Australian state of Queensland. The area surrounding the city is a natural paradise - there's the Great Barrier Reef, for one thing - so here are a few exhilarating sights you can check out during a visit to the area.
Take a boat over to Green Island, where you can stop off and go swimming. Experience the unreal coral colors and stunning wildlife of the reef, illuminated by the sun.
You may not be able to delve 20,000 leagues under the sea, but you can go snorkeling, which is pretty close! Here's your chance to be a mermaid or merman for a couple of hours.
Enjoy this lush tropical rainforest on the ground, or fly over it on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. You can also seamlessly glide from land to water in an amphibious vehicle!
Experience the culture of the Aboriginal Djabugay people. Enjoy a didgeridoo show, visit a museum with ancient murals, try some Djabugay cuisine, and learn to throw a boomerang.
Take a day to explore the Outback and walk around under a volcano - that's not something you get to do every day!
The Tully River hosted the 1991 Australian Canoe and White Water Rafting Championships. Don't worry, though, you're not alone, as each boat holds seven people.
Owing to its near-equatorial location, Northern Australia is very hot all year round. Make sure to wear cool, cotton clothing, stay hydrated, and definitely layer up on sunscreen and a hat.
Before your trip, consult your doctor about injections you may need to get. If you are walking around in the rainforest, be sure to bring mosquito repellent - ideally purchased locally, as creams from back home may not be suitable for the climate.
For extreme sports like white water rafting, it's essential. There can also be an age limit, so if you happen to be under 18, do check in advance if you need to have a parent or guardian with you.

What people are saying about Cairns
Great tour! A special shout out to Yatta for going above and beyond to make it a truly exceptional experience during which we got incredible pictures/video of a giant clam, a shark, a barracuda and huge sea turtles! Definitely a good value since wetsuits and the glass bottom boat tour are both included.
My daughter and I had a great day on Passions 3 catamaran, sailing to one of the outer reefs, skippered by Craig and with an amazing, friendly, caring crew - Kirsty, Jesse and Jaryd, to name just 3. This was a very professional outfit - I felt in safe hands at all times. There were 2 opportunities to snorkel/scuba dive on the reef. My daughter spotted 2 Reef sharks and cuttlefish. Others saw a green turtle. There were many different species of fish and lots to see. There were snorkel guides available for those who wanted more information about the fish they were seeing. On the journey home there was a seasion with a marine biologist. This is a great tour - highly recommended!
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t ideal but it was still amazing I could only imagine what it would be like on a good day. The heli flight is a must it was the highlight the first reef we went to was great but the second was absolutely spectacular! Little bit sad that our package said included an introductory dive which we didn’t get but that didn’t take away from the great experience we had. The crew are fabulous and so helpful! Real down the earth people who love to have a chat. Some great looking blokes on board
We researched several tours for the Great Barrier Reef and were so glad we found this one. There were only 11 of us on the tour and 3 crew members. We all got to know each other and had a really personalized experience. Cassie, Chris and Pasqual (the crew) were awesome. Always checking with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The snorkeling was the best. Our ‘stinger suits’ gave us peace of mind, although they probably weren’t needed. The food was really good too. Ale sure you book with this tour for the time of your life.
Fantastic underwater experience. staff aboard make you feel welcome and ease you into the experience, willing to go the extra mile to ensure you can truly enjoy the reef.

This is my first and probably last painting in 2013.
I got a prompt for this year Portal Secret Santa for unwiseperspective.tumblr.com/. She wanted me to draw many things but I've chosen drawing Rattman in his den, painting. I wanted to capture the spirit of Dougs paintings somewhere deep in Aperture ruins. I hope I got the style right Unfortunately I got myself carried away and somehow I forgot to add Doug himself.

I am experiencing some kind of pain in the stomach and i cant able to eat problem. i feel that my food is not digested problem because i am not feeling hungry. I think, this is because of Parasites in my stomach, so can anyone advise me about parasite cleanser.
There are a lot of different things you can use for parasites, people that live on a farm or are around places where they are more susceptible to parasites usually do a cleanse every 6 months. I have personally used Wormwood Combination which targets several parasites. Definitely check with your doctor if you have any allergies to certain herbal treatments.
Thanks for your comment, ?Yeah i checked with my doctor and he prescribed me a natural parasite cleanser and i am using it. now i feel good and i can eat well and sleep without any stomach ache. Going for natural way treatment is always good instead of artificial and chemical medicines.

New Details Revealed on Atoms For Peace Debut Album
Atoms For Peace have released new details on their highly anticipated debut album, which they first announced last year. The band revealed the album title, AMOK, as well as the track listing. The exact release date, however, is still left at “early next year”.
The supergroup – comprised of Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radiohead singer Thom Yorke, and producer Nigel Godrich – formed out of shows done for Yorke’s solo project, The Eraser. The new album is mostly improvised, Flea said.
“At the end of the tour we went into a studio for three days and just jammed – totally improvising,” he told Rolling Stone.
Their eclectic sound can be heard via their first single, “Default”.
AMOK Track List:
- Before Your Very Eyes…
- Stuck Together Pieces
- Judge, Jury and Executioner
- Reverse Running

Brendan Dassey a Case of Exceptional Importance
In 1967, Justice Abe Fortas and his magnum opus In re Gault transformed loose juvenile court proceedings into formal hearings that afforded children essential rights, forever altering the face of juvenile due process. Not since Gault and Miranda has there been a case so polarising in legal opinion, that the only way forward is new Circuit or Supreme Court precedent. That case is the wrongful conviction of Brendan Dassey.
A year ago, today, a Judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Magistrate Judge William.E. Duffin granted the petition for Brendan's writ of Habeas Corpus determining Brendan's confession was rendered involuntary under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments - citing the Wisconsin Court of Appeals decision to the contrary was an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law. 365 days on, and the fight to uphold Judge Duffin’s unprecedented decision has never been more intense.
The ‘not so’ Special Agent Tom Fassbender and Sergeant Mark Wiegert alongside cohorts, a pasty poor man’s Victor Sifuentes, Len Kachinksy and sharing a love for Laura Ingalls type blue ribbons, private investigator Michael O’Kelly - colluded to coerce a textbook false confession from a highly suggestible, 16-year-old Brendan Dassey.
False confession experts, lawyers and pundits the world over, have painstakingly dissected Brendan’s false confession, with parties to Brendan’s Amicus brief, law interrogation training experts, Wicklander-Zulawski proclaiming the March 1st interrogation as the proverbial “what not to do”, highlighting the impropriety of the investigators practices.
When discussing criminal justice reform in the United States, one cannot do so without addressing a seismic shift in interrogation techniques, and the eradication of the archaic Reid Technique. There is no coincidence that both the Reid process and the sequential steps of a false confession come in threes.
AEDPA and Habeas
Forward 4,182 days, google Brendan Dassey and the SERP results act as a timeline of abuse at the hands of a broken justice system. The State of Wisconsin continues to malignity pursue Dassey through the meandering appeals process, via State and Federal courts. While the enfeebled prosecutor of 2007, continues to conduct his macabre dance of untruths in his courtroom of choice – the media. His audience, no longer captive, now unforgiving and informed.
Where once, Dassey grappled for a 7th Circuit Court affirmation, he now finds himself caught in a meretricious fight for his freedom. With a snarling State and the high burden of the AEDPA standard of review to counter, I ponder the majority’s decision and their application of the pre-AEDPA standard – de novo. So where does that leave six Republican and three Democratic appointed judges, clothed in ideologies that can be found in the annals of past opinions, in what is a highly subjective review?
Will the 7th Circuit set Precedent Between Psychological and Physical Coercion?
In granting an en banc hearing, the majority is either leaning towards one of two standards. The first being that the en banc is necessary to secure or maintain uniformity of the court’s decision, the second, the proceeding involves a question of exceptional importance. The wrongful conviction of Brendan Dassey I fear was always going to be a question of exceptional importance, and perhaps will leave an indelible mark on future habeas proceedings.
The majority cited Gilbert v. Merchant, 488 F.3d 780, 791 (7th Cir. 2007), In re Gault, 387 U.S. 1, 45 (1967)) and Haley v. Ohio, 332 U.S. 596, 599-601 (1948), amongst many others; will Dassey vs Dittman No: 16-3397 ensure the many protections as idealised by the great Justices such as Justice Fortas who had written in 1966 “ If counsel was not present for some permissible reason when an admission was obtained, the greatest care must be taken to assure that the admission was voluntary, in the sense not only that it was not coerced or suggested, but also that it was not the product of ignorance of rights or of adolescent fantasy, fright or despair."
En Banc Hearing
On September 26th at 10.00am, in the Ceremonial Courtroom Room 2525 of the United States of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in Chicago, Illinois, the entire 7th Circuit panel of Judges will hear en banc, Dassey vs Dittman. Reform begins with an en banc affirmation.
As Marsha Levick said “This case is of exceptional importance to the national community of advocates seeking to defend the constitutional rights of children, particularly children.” Free Brendan Dassey.

Somewhere out there, someone just might have the bone marrow Dominick LoCascio desperately needs.
All he needs is for someone to step forward and be willing to donate it.
LoCascio, 60, of Dyker Heights, suffers from multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, and is seeking a bone marrow transplant to save his life.
“He was diagnosed in April of 2013, almost a year ago. He is putting up a good fight, but he needs help,” his son Steven LoCascio told the Brooklyn Eagle.

Change of circumstances
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support entitlements are based on the details supplied when the claim was initially made.
If these details have changed then you must inform the Council as soon as possible.
How can I report a change in circumstance?
You can report a change in your circumstances or a change of address by clicking on the link below.
Changes we need to know about
These are some of the changes we need to know about to make sure you are getting the right amount of Housing and/or Council Tax Support:
- you stop receiving Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance, Pension Credit or Employment Support Allowance
- your Working Tax Credit or Child tax Credit changes
- you move (even if you only move to a different room or flat within the same property)
- a child leaves school or leaves home
- you have a baby
- your child starts to be cared for, or stops being cared for, by a registered childminder, or nursery or playgroup
- someone moves into or out of your home (including boarders and sub-tenants)
- your income, or the income of anyone living with you, changes
- you or anyone living with you goes into hospital or a nursing home, or goes into prison (even if this is on remand)
- you or anyone living with you gets a job, or changes their job, or becomes unemployed
- you or anyone living with you takes a second job
- you return to work after a period of illness where you have been receiving benefit
- you or anyone living with you has a change in capital or savings (this does not apply to people receiving Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance (Income Based), Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit) or Employment Support Allowance (Income related) – you should only notify DWP)
- your rent changes – unless you are a Council Tenant
- you receive a decision from the Home Office
- someone starts to receive Carer’s Allowance for looking after you or your partner
- if you change the bank account that we are paying your Housing Benefit into
Is there a time limit for reporting a change in my circumstances?
You must write to the Council within one month of any change in your circumstances that could change your benefit entitlement.
If you report your change of circumstances late, you could lose benefit or be required to pay the council back any overpayment.
What happens if I am late notifying a change?
If you do not let the Council know within the one-month time limit, and the change would be to increase your entitlement, the change will be calculated from the Monday after you notify the Council.
Can the one-month time limit be extended?
If you can show good cause for failing to let us know about a change in your circumstances within the one-month time limit, and the effect of the change would be an increase in your entitlement, the Council may extend the time limit. You must put your reasons for late notification of a change in circumstances in writing.

Obesity affects job prospects for women, Australian study finding
Obese women are more likely to be discriminated against when applying for jobs and receive lower starting salaries than their non-overweight colleagues, a new study by Monash University, in Victoria, has found.
The study, published this week in the International Journal of Obesity, examined whether a recently developed measure of anti-fat prejudice, the universal measure of bias (UMB), predicted actual obesity job discrimination.
The research team also assessed whether people’s own body image, and dimensions of personality such as authoritarianism and social dominance orientation, were related to obesity discrimination.
Lead researcher, Dr Kerry O’Brien, said the nature of the study was initially concealed from the participants to avoid biased results.
Participants viewed a series of resumes that had a small photo of the supposed job applicant attached, and were asked to make ratings of the applicants’ suitability, starting salary and employability.
Dr O’Brien said, “We used pictures of women pre-and post-bariatric surgery, and varied whether participants saw a resume that had a picture of an obese female attached, or the same female but in a normal weight range having undergone bariatric surgery.
“We found that obesity discrimination was displayed across all selection criteria, such as starting salary, leadership potential, and likelihood of selection for the job.”
The higher a participant’s score on the UMB, the more likely they were to discriminate against obese candidates.
“Our findings show that there is a clear need to address obesity discrimination, particularly against females, who tend to bear the brunt of anti-fat prejudice,” Dr O’Brien said.

Naomh Muire advanced to the county stages of the gaeltacht competition this evening with a comfortable win in Glenswilly. Showing three changes in the starting line-up the travelling team raced into an early lead with two early goals. John Pidgeon got on the end of a long high ball played into the square and finished coolly to the net. Minutes later it was Shaun 'The Yank' Boyle's turn when he rounded his man and rattled the net. Points from Ciaran 'Moses' McGinley and an industrious Shaun Boyle left Naomh Muire eight points up after thirteen minutes. The home team responded with a point and but where unable to bridge the gap by any more before half time.
The second half saw the Naomh Muire management introduce a number of subs and they continued to add on the scores. Naomh Muire ran out easy winners in the end. They will now face Na Rossa in the semi-final on Sunday at 1pm. (Photos from tonight's game to follow......)

If your children are 7 and under, first find out what they already know. Some children are confused and misinformed. They might have heard things from their friends or have caught snippets of information on TV. In the simplest way, try to clear up their misconceptions and answer their questions without giving them any more information than you have to.
Even if your child doesn't bring up the issue of war, check in with him anyway. You'd be surprised at what even young children are picking up from their friends. For example a mother recently e-mailed me saying that her 4-year-old daughter asked if the war would be coming to their house. The father of a 6-year-old said his daughter was worried about the war because she didn't know how to be a soldier.
Open the conversation, and then listen with compassion. Offer reassurances as best as you can, and give as many extra hugs and kisses as possible. No matter what's going on in the world, our affection and loving presence is the best tonic of all. This is true for children of all ages, not just our little ones.
Rules of thumb for kids of every age:
Controlling our own anxiety.
When our level of anxiety is high, we can unknowingly pass it on to our children. Subtle signals like the knitting of the brow, tensing of the shoulders, and catch of the voice can belie the words of reassurance that we speak. That's why it's critically important right now to take care of yourself from the inside out. Curtail your intake of news, and factor calming rituals into your life-prayer, meditation, visualization, yoga, tai chi, exercise, soothing music, or extra moments of solitude. Uncertain times call for extreme self-care.
4. Create a more peaceful home. Let your children know that countries sometimes fight wars when they don't see other alternatives. By living harmoniously in our homes, schools, and communities we begin creating peace one family at a time. Ask your children how you might begin to do this right in your own home.
5. Let your children know that regardless of peoples' positions on the war, we must all support our men and women in the armed forces. Right now these brave people need our prayers, love, and gratitude. Being against war doesn't mean being against the people who are asked to serve. Consider sending drawings or notes to the people who are serving now and offering a prayer each day for their safety and quick return.
6. Perform daily acts of faith. Here's my favorite. Light a candle each day and say this affirmation together:
Give me the gift of hope.
May I always believe in
the beauty of life,
the power of goodness,
the right to joy
for all people everywhere.
Remember, peace begins with each of us, and every action we take counts in making the world a little more peaceful. Making the time for things that calm and soothe you will not only help you, it will help your children too. Sure, our fears aren't going to completely disappear after a hot bath, but the level of anxiety will lessen, and we'll be better able to return to a centered place inside.
Also, stay in the moment instead of projecting ahead. All we really have is this moment, and this moment, and this moment. By staying grounded in the present, we avoid the trap of allowing our minds to become saturated with fears.
I remember a time of great stress I was going through a few years ago. A healer I worked with gave me an exercise that really helped. Each time a fear started coming up, she told me to literally feel my feet planted on the ground and remind myself that the same earth that supports all of us was protecting me now. Doing this helped because it was a concrete way to bring myself back to the present moment. Just feeling my feet on the ground reminded me that this moment really was okay, and that what I feared most might never come to pass.
Family rituals that bring hope.
1. Sit on the edge of your child's bed each night. Listen, talk, and let them feel your loving presence. Do this regardless of your child's age. Even if your teen balks, try it anyway. By being there, fully present we give our children a powerful message of love, safety, and reassurance.
2. Create new family rituals. Rituals help kids feel more secure in the face of uncertainty. Try to incorporate them as often as possible. Here are three simple ones you can do right now:
