I’ll soon be recording a breathwork training program and leading a level 1 facilitation program to begin others on their breath journey to know more about their breath, or to become a facilitator. In light of this, I will be sharing Breath Science material that will offer an introduction to the kind of material covered in the course.
For full introduction, disclaimers, and how to use this information, including a short breath practice to help you identity your breathing patterns, please see part 1

Breath Pattern Diagnosis Information:
- A pause before the inhalation
The practice of Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) is hallmarked by a breathing pattern that is connected – meaning there is no pauses. If there is a habitual inclination to pause before the inhalation there is some hesitation to take in breath – or it could be expressed as a metaphor, a hesitation to take in life force, or to take in the experience of life. This pattern may denote an imbalance and preference to surrender to life, but not in the positive letting go sense, more of a giving in and bending down towards life with tail between legs. The balance of the breath, and the balance of life is to manage effort and ease, or will and surrender.
- Coaching the breath and the client to take their inhalation as soon as they reach the bottom of the exhalation and breathing with them.
- Building up an internal intensity of awareness to the pattern, and continually breathing in with life force and enthusiasm on the inhale to encourage life force to flow in and an openness to say ‘yes!’ to experience.
- Hold breath out of the body, till the urge to inhale becomes reflexive.
- A pause before the exhalation
When an individual takes life force and experience in with the inhalation and habitually has hesitation to release the breath and surrender, the metaphor for the pattern is a resistance to letting to. Further assessment is advantageous to determine which parts of the body are most resistant to softening on the exhalation. The overall pattern is that there is a pause before exhalation, the deeper question is what physical, mental, and emotional holding is preventing the full release.
- Breath hold on the inhalation till the breath naturally requires surrendering.
- Throwing a tantrum, shaking, or using bioenergetic release methods.
- Affirmations: “It is safe is surrender”
- Control of the inhalation
The technique of CCB has several variations depending on the school and lineage. In general, it is taught that the inhalation has some degree of effort, while the exhalation is easeful. Though, it can be reversed to have an active and controlled exhale and a relaxed inhalation. And in truth, once the breath starts flowing, there is often a sense at which the ‘breath breaths itself’. So, a controlled inhalation can be difficult to determine; however, if one can properly identity a dysfunctional control of inhalation it may reflect a certain limiting of the life force from coming into the body. Further investigation as to which areas in the body one is controlling is important to determine what area of one’s life is being controlled. For example, an individual may express a high degree of control around their sexual organs and pelvic area, or perhaps the breath is jerky or forceful, which may be a metaphor for how one relates to this area of the body and its associated functions.
- Exhale breath hold
- Open mouth wider, open arms and legs
- Tapping of the body
- Get them to dance before the session and to move rhythmically during the session to create ease and flow
- Suspension of the breath
There is a natural way to spontaneously suspend the breath which can be beneficial, as well as the implementation of breath holds is a positive practice in breathwork. There is also a dysfunctional pattern of suspending that breath that is associated with voiding the body and feeling. This pattern is often an avoidance of feeling or something that is arising in the body. It is termed the ‘unconscious source urge or unconscious death urge’, which expresses that an individual may have a drive to leave their body and be released from what they are experiencing in this life. This pattern of voiding the body is often a control pattern that arises when an individual is under stress, an individual with this pattern is more likely to use substances to numb or to be inclined towards suicidal tendencies when challenged or stress is high.
- The lower portion of the belly and body is associated which our most physical nature, thus keeping the breathers energy and awareness in the low belly and legs helps to keep them present in the body.
- Holding ankles, feet, using pressure points in feet or calves.
- Reminding a person that it is safe to be in the body.
- The individual may be voiding the body because they do not feel safe, creating a safe environment, with safe individual is important. As if the work one does outside of the breath session, which may include reaching out to therapist, family support, assuring finances health and other areas of high stress are being managed.
- A shallow breath
There are times when the breath will become shallow, such as after releasing a large emotion, or towards the end of the practice. But if the breather has consistent trouble activating and breathing deep throughout the session, it may indicate a sluggishness of mind and body. The breath being a metaphor for how the breather is living, a shallow breather is one who is not expanding themselves and taking in life. Further inspection for any energy blockages will indicate where the energy is blocked.
- Identify where the energy is blocked (which chakra)
- Move the body before and during the session to open the energy channels, especially the legs which are powerful generators of energy and important pumps for getting energy flowing through the system.
- Get them playing or having fun before and during the session.
- Coaching before the session to get them excited.
- Get the client to speak in tongues and be silly and deprogram the current pattern and emotional state to make a positive shift

A first glance at our work: products – projects – solutions
One system for all tasks and applications – what a great idea! But reality shows that ever changing business environments affect system infrastructures and require modifications. This is in particular the case for growing companies. Merging different systems into one is a complex task which can cause high costs. The same is true when it comes to harmonising processes within an organization.
Together with you, we define your requirements and all necessary functionalities. We organize workshops to identify all existing – but also potential – interfaces. And we find answers to questions such as “How can users access one system from another?”, “Which system predominates another?” or “Are other external systems needed?”.
We develop customised interfaces for smooth operation and communication.

Batavia leaders are gearing up for a $6.9 million project to reconstruct a more than half-mile stretch of Main Street from Water Street to Van Nortwick Avenue.
The 0.59-mile project, which city officials say will begin in March and wrap up by the end of the year, also will include new water and sanitary sewer pipes, new sidewalks, a bike lane and parking only on the street's north side.
Open houseWhat: Preconstruction meeting/open house for Batavia's Main Street Reconstruction Project.
Why: The $6.9 million project to reconstruct 0.59 mile of Main Street between March and late 2020. Includes installation of new water and sewer lines, sidewalks, curb and gutter, a parking lane and bike lane. Project will cause traffic detours.
When: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18
Where: Batavia City Hall, Council Chambers, 200 N. Island Ave.
Who: For information or to ask questions, email Project Manager Chris Bong at email@example.com or call (630) 454-2752.
Web: Visit www.cityofbatavia.net/353/Main-Street-Reconstruction/
A Feb. 18 informational meeting is planned at city hall for residents to ask questions and learn more about the project, which will detour traffic onto Wilson Street as Main will be reduced to one lane only for westbound traffic.
Mayor Jeff Schielke said the city tried to balance to desire to preserve older trees and houses with the need to modernize one of the city's arterial streets that also is a truck route.
"It's an important project for us," Schielke said. "There's some nice homes there. They certainly show their historical flavor. Hopefully, by the end of the year, we'll have a new street. It will have a positive impact on property values."
Area drivers are grousing over the Fabyan Parkway bridge project, which was supposed to wrap up last fall but was delayed until this spring due to weather.
Schielke noted that was a county project and a "unique situation."
Rahat Bari, Batavia city engineer, said the contractor in the Main Street project will face fines if the project is delayed by factors that are not weather-related.
Bari said $2.5 million will be funded through a Federal Surface Transportation grant, and a state grant will contribute $400,000.
Bari said the street reconstruction also will allow the city to separate the storm and sanitary sewers. Currently, rain runoff and residential sewage are collected by the same pipe, and the improvement will increase capacity and reduce backups.
A 4-inch water main installed before 1930 also will be replaced and expanded.
"The water main that's there is almost 90 years old," Bari said. "Our goal is to complete the project by the end of 2020."
Main Street was last resurfaced in 1990, according to the city's website.

- Stage One, stage@leeds
- Inaugural Lecture
The School of Performance and Cultural Industries invites you to the Inaugural Lecture of Joslin McKinney, Professor of Scenography.
Scenography is ‘a mode of encounter and exchange founded on spatial and material relations between bodies, objects and environments’. As such, it is way of thinking through and with material; It is a way of revealing ‘how things make things happen’.
The insights yielded through this approach are not confined to the theatre stage; they might be applied to other circumstances where materials, spaces and bodies intersect, and can bring new perspectives to (and insights on) the ways in which we experience and make sense of the world.
In this lecture, ‘Scenography as Material Thinking’, Professor McKinney will show how a focus on materiality opens up a deeper understanding of how scenography operates. During the lecture she will explore what materials such as costumes, objects, light, architectonic space can do, and what they can make spectators think and feel.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception. Attendance is free, but registration is required in advance via Ticketsource.
Joslin originally trained and worked as a theatre designer and her research deals with how scenography - design for and as performance - 'performs'.
Traditionally, scenography has been considered a craft-based and marginal discipline within theatre and performance studies, but Joslin is one of a small group of researchers internationally who have shaped the agenda for scenographic research, bringing rigour and focus to this emerging discipline and support a new generation of researchers.
She has used creative practice (her own and that of others) to examine what materials - costumes, objects, light, architectonic space - can do and what they can make spectators think and to feel.
Joslin is co- convenor of the PLACE research group, and is Programme Leader for the Masters in Performance Design in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries.
If you would like to hear more about these future inaugural lectures or other events in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries please join their mailing list. Future planned inaugural lectures in the School include Professor George Rodosthenous on 7 June 2023.

History. THEBES. 24. Route. 229
uncertainty. We know only that it was the capital of a nome,
and that it was ruled by princes of its own, whose tombs (6th Dyn.)
were discovered at Drah Abu'l Negga. The local deity was the
hawk-headed Mont, a god of war, who was also worshipped in the
neighbouring town of Hermonthis. Several other places lay near
Weset on the E. bank; among these were Epet-Esowet (the modern
Karnak) and South Opet (modern Luxor), which were afterwards in¬
corporated with the great 'city' and subjected to the same rulers.
When the Theban princes assumed the royal dignity during
the Middle Empire, Thebes rose to a more commanding, position.
The city was adorned with temples, amongst which the large shrines
raised in Epet-Esowet and South Opet to their local deity Ammon
were conspicuous. But the greatness of Thebes dates only from the
beginning of the New Empire. The liberation of the country from
the Hyksos and the reunion of the empire was directed from Thebes,
and that city continued for centuries to be the favourite seat of the
Pharaohs, and the reservoir into which flowed the untold treasures
exacted as tribute or brought as booty from conquered nations. A
large share of this wealth was bestowed upon Ammon. The mag¬
nificent and gigantic temple, erected at this period to the god, is
still one of the chief sights of Thebes. The grandees of the kingdom
esteemed it an honour to become priests of Ammon, the schools be¬
side his temples flourished, and the kings offered their richest gifts
to this god, from whom they expected a surer fulfilment of their
petitions than from any other. The fame of the huge city early
reached the ears even of the Greeks. In a possibly interpolated pas¬
sage of the Iliad (IX, 379-384), Achilles, enraged with Agamem¬
non, assures Ulysses that he will never more unite in council or in
deed with the great Atrides: —
"Ten times as much, and twenty times were vain; the high pil'd store"
"Of rich Mycense, and if he ransack wide earth for more,"
"Search old .Orchomenus for gold, and by the fertile stream"
"Where, in Egyptian Thebes, the heaps of precious ingots gleam,"
"The hundred-gated Thebes, where twice ten score in martial state"
"Of valiant men with steeds and cars march through each massy gate."
The epithet £xon:6[X7toXo;, i.e. 'hundred-gated', here used by
Homer, was also applied by later classical authors to Th,ebes. Diodorus,
Strabo, Pliny, and Stephanus of Byzantium all make use of it,
referring to the gates of the town, as symbols of its size and power.
The persecution of the god Ammon by Amenophis IV. (p. xcix)
and the temporary transference of the royal residence to Tell el-
'Amarna (p. 193) affected Thebes but slightly. Its ruined temples
were rebuilt under Sethos I. and Ramses II., and the wealth of the
god became greater than ever. An idea of riie endowments of the
temple of Ammon may be gleaned from the fact that 3/a of the gifts
lavished by Ramses HI. upon the gofls of Egypt fell to the share of
Ammon, so that, for example, of 113,433 slaves, uo fewer than

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS INTERVIEW WITH MRS. MELISSA
1910: May 17th. The Racine Journal- Racine, WI.
Mrs. Melissa Perkins, Now in her 90th Year, Describes Scenes and Conditions, When this city Was a Wilderness - Eggs Three Cents a Dozen and Butter Seven Cents a Pound.
Mrs. Melissa Perkins of 718 Lake Ave, who will be 90 years next October, very kindly gave the following information.
"You asked me when I came here and how things looked. I came here in 1839, and it was pretty much of a wilderness then. There were but a few dwellings above sixth street then. There were both log houses and frame houses. The logs were not hewn. We built on the corner of Sixth and Wisconsin streets, and that building has but recently been moved back and may not yet be seen. A log house stood where the post office now is and one where the Presbyterian church stands, and a frame house opposite here on Main street, and one log house about on Main and Ninth street. That was all the houses south of sixth street then. "
Q.-What about the light house?-
A."The light house stood on the corner of Seventh street-on the bank of the lake-where Mrs. Deason now lives. It had a revolving light."
Q.-Where did the people build mostly then?
A."Most of the buildings were down along the bank of the river."
Q.-Did you have any hotels in those days?
A."Yes, the old Racine House stood on the corner of Monument square and Fifth street, where the express office is now. It was a frame building, and there were a good many houses on the other side of the river, some frame and some log".
Q.-Who were some of the people you found here?
A."The Raymonds were here, and Captain Knapp, and also the Janes family. They lived down where Congress Hall or Lakeside auditorium now stands."
Q.-How about the farmers, where there any farmers around here then?
A."There were farmers out around in the country, and they came in with their grain and produce, and what is now Monument square, was used as a market place for the farmers to come and sell."
Q.-How were the prices in those days?
A."Food was not as high as it is now, we could get eggs at 3 cents a dozen."
Q.-Was there much game in those days?
A."Yes, the woods were full of game, Prairie chickens were everywhere, and the sloughs were full of ducks. My husband was quite a hunter and would go out and get a wagon load of prairie chickens in half a day. Mr. Perkins would go ahead with the gun and dog and scare up the chickens and shoot them, and I would go after with wagon and team and gather them up and distribute them to those who wanted. And we got ducks from the sloughs. But there were not many deer here, but further west."
Q.-Was the railroad here then?
A."This was long before the railroad, but the steamboats were on the lake at that time."
Q.-How did you come here to Racine?
A."We came here on a steamboat from Buffalo, and it took thirteen days. It was so stormy that we could not land here, but went to Chicago. The next day we came back and landed on the beach, there was no harbor, so we had to land on the beach."
Q.-Were houses built near the lake then?
A."Some were built. They were mostly two story frame houses. There was another street called Chatham street east of Lake Avenue. The banks kept carving in so the houses were moved away, then people did not build so much along the lake bank."
Q.-Where did they get the lumber for their houses?
A."There was a saw mill up the river."
Q.-How did you get the rest of the material to complete the houses?
A."We brought window glass with us from Buffalo, and the fixtures for doors."
Q.-What means of transportation and communication was there?
A."There was a stage running from Chicago to Milwaukee, and boats on the lake. Boats were running from Buffalo to Chicago. But the stage did not run every day, and the boats were irregular."
Q.-You did not get mail every day then?
Q.-Was there much letter writing in those days?
A."Letters were not written so very often, for the postage on them was 25 cents in the United States."
Q.-Were there any school houses here then?
A."There was a little one story school house on the lot where the high school stands, or a little nearer Wisconsin street."
Q.-Were there many scholars?
A."No, there were not many scholars then."
Q.-Where did the people come from who came here?
A."These people who came here were mostly from New York state, and some came from Vermont."
Q.-Why did the people come west, and to Racine?
A."They thought the new western country would be an improvement, better then to stay on the Vermont hills."
Q.-Do you think it was an improvement to come out west?
A."Yes, I think the people bettered themselves by coming west. There was not much going on in the east at that time, the villages in the east were small at that time."
Q.-Did the people have plenty of food in those days?
A."Yes, we had plenty of food. The hogs would run in the woods and live on the nuts from the trees, and we thought it would be so nice to get fresh pork. But it was so different from the corn fed pork of the east that we did not like it at all. Butter was from 7 to 10 cents a pound."
Q.-Did you use coal then?
A."We used wood, no coal was brought in here the first years. There was mostly oak timber around here."
Q.-How were the winters then compared to now?
A."We had more snow in those days."
Q.-How did the people live then, where there any who needed help?
A."Neighbors were sociable and friendly, some were better off than others, but there were no poor people here who were dependant then."
Q.-When did you first have poor people among you?
A."When the foreigners began to come, I think we began to have dependant people with us. Some people brought wealth with them and some came poor."
Q.-What place of activity was there around here besides Racine?
A."Kenosha. It was named Southport, and a number of wealthy families came to Kenosha and they tried to get ahead of Racine, and there was quite a strife between the two cities at that time. This strife was among younger people. There was not much difference between Racine and Kenosha at that time."
Q.-Were the people satisfied to live here, or did they regret coming?
A."It did seem better to come out west than to stay east."
Q.-Did the Indians trouble you any?
A."The Indians were few, they had mostly disappeared when we came here, they did not trouble us any."
Q.-When the people came out west here did they go east to visit their friends again?
A."There was not much travel to see each other from west to east. Traveling was to difficult then, when we got to Racine, we had to stay."
Q.-How did you light your house then?
A. "We had tallow candles, and I often remember dipping them. When we got the kerosene it was quite an improvement."
Q.-The people supplied their own wants then?
A."We made gardens and raised vegetables. I never saw such good potatoes as were then raised on the sandy soil. No, there were no retired farmers then, the farmers lived on their farms."
Q.-How did life seem in those early days?
A."People enjoyed their life here in the new country then, they did not move back at all. There was a pleasant social life between the people. There was no want and no suffering among the people and the educational advantages here, were, after a few years, good."
Q.-The people did not have the facilities and conveniences that we now have?
A."We did not miss the modern conveniences because we did not have them in the east."
Q.-Did you use lake water then?
A."They dug wells and did not use lake water because they had no way of getting it out of the lake."
Q.-Did you have fruit at that time?
"Apples and peaches grew here and we were well supplied."

This ended our brief interview. To have
met this venerable, kindly and cultured woman to have been made welcome by
her into her own home, and heard from her own lips some fragment of their
life-history, is an eventful and romantic age, is indeed an honor beyond

house pool design. Monday , February 19th , 2018 - 20:50:29 PM
You′ll also have to discuss what you want the inside of the pool to be if you choose to have a design like that as well. It could be all of your birthstones mixed together in a diamond shape along the wall or it could look like a zoo having different kinds of animals that look like they are skipping along the walls. Either of these ideas would work but you have to agree on something together without getting into a fight about it. You might see something really unique and decide to go with that idea.
The next question you′re bound to have is, "Where do I find this paragon of a swimming pool designer that will come and create my perfect masterpiece?" Like swimming pools, a swimming pool designer is not "one size fits all." The best piece of advice for anyone looking for a pool designer to build in their home is to choose someone from the area. Your pool designer should be familiar with.
When you′re looking for the perfect accent to those hot summer nights and the big backyard staring through your window, there′s nothing better than an inground swimming pool. Without the right hand at the helm, however, a pool can do more to destroy the aesthetics of your home than accent them. That′s why it′s vitally important that you find a great pool designer to custom design your inground pool.

WASHINGTON — An independent campaign to draw GOP Rep. Mike Pence into the 2012 presidential race is under way, with a veteran of the Reagan White House launching a petition drive on Monday urging him to enter the primary contests.
Ralph Benko, a deputy counsel to Ronald Reagan, announced the America’s President Committee to encourage a Pence-for-president bid. Former Rep. Jim Ryun, R-Kan., is also helping the campaign to collect signatures from conservatives and tea party activists.
“Mike Pence extraordinarily exemplifies the optimistic, pro-growth, pro-job creation Reagan-Kemp wing of the GOP. Grass-roots conservatives, Republicans, the tea party and populists are looking for a man or woman of principle who can champion and unite the newly energized and engaged citizenry,” Benko said. “Mike Pence is the best choice to lead us into a new era of peace and prosperity.”
Jack Kemp, who died in 2009, was a Republican congressman and vice presidential candidate. He was perhaps best known as an economic conservative who advocated low taxes and lowering barriers to supplying goods and services.
Full Story Here:
Pence urged to enter race for president in 2012
I read a lot of political news, blogs and assorted websites. I have blog friends that live in Indiana and are very familiar with Mike Pence, and everything I read, as well as everything I have been told about Pence, and have heard from him, has been nothing less than outstanding!
Pence has at least as much potential, if not MORE, than anyone else on the radar right now, and in many cases, he’s head and shoulders above the list of clowns, posers and Drama Queens that are going to try to convince America that a short, choppy, poorly worded snippet of a sentence is all that’s needed to be an effective President. You can’t govern America with sound bites.
Pence, of Indiana, stepped down from his post in the House Republican leadership. He has considered a White House run or perhaps a campaign for governor. One of his party’s strongest advocates for conservative policies, Pence is among the GOP’s most outspoken critics of President Barack Obama.
“We’ve been trying to listen first to Hoosiers and then to other voices around the country about where they think we might best serve in the years ahead” and “we’ll be making a decision before the end of this month,” Pence told about 100 people at a conference room in the Henry County, Ind., Hospital.
Pence as a Governor would be wonderful for the good people of Indiana, of that I have NO doubt, but the good people of the USA could use his strength and courage as well.
Should Pence enter the contest, he would face an uphill climb. Few Americans have heard of him and better known potential Republican candidates — like former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, or former Alaska governor Sarah Palin — already have organized fundraising operations.
Do you want to see ObamaCare become RomneyCare? That’s exactly what will happen if the GOP decides to run Mitt the Nitwit. And if you want to give Obama another 4 years, run Sarah Palin and that is exactly what you’re going to do. Palin would be the worst of choices offered, save the idea of a McCain/Palin rematch or Newt Gingrich as the candidate.
In case you’re NOT already familiar with my feelings about Sarah Palin, she is the reference in this sentence; Drama Queens that are going to try to convince America that a short, choppy, poorly worded snippet of a sentence is all that’s needed to be an effective President.
I was wanting to mention reality TV star and media whore, but my calling Palin a media whore would upset some of her supporters the way my describing Ron Paul as a moonbat was considered highly inflammatory and enraged his band of Paulinistas. Oops…
But with more than a year before the first caucuses in Iowa, advocates for Pence — like other possible candidates — insist there is time for any of a dozen or so would-be candidates to assemble a team. That is one reason many will be speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference next month in Washington.
This could be a serious opportunity for Mike Pence to shine, and here’s why;
Pence has been invited to speak. Others potential 2012 candidates who accepted invitations: Romney, Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
Pence puts ALL of these guys to shame. Romney is a RINO, Barbour reminds me of, I say he reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn. Gingrich is a recycled RINO that never was worth a a lot to begin with in my estimation.
Tim Pawlenty? Do we want a POTUS that can be called *little Timmy*? Seriously? Imagine the field day the media would have if Pres. Pawlenty messed up; ‘Lassie, go for help girl, Timmy fell in the well and can’t get out..’
2012 is going to be the most important election the American people can participate in. 2010, and taking back the House was only a start, there is much more work that needs to be done and we need solid Conservative leaders and organizers to do it.
There’s NO ROOM for Libertarian, 3rd party, anarchy candidates, there’s no room for moonbat Dems and libbers that want to give this nation away in LARGE chunks, and there’s certainly no room for RINOs, posers and Drama Queens.
Real conservatives! People that can think on their feet without a teleprompter, people that can use cognitive reasoning to string an intelligent sentence together using words that have meaning, and words that aren’t just some folksy catch phrases strung together in a cheerleaders mind.
I hope America is paying attention. I hope and pray that we get this one right, because if we don’t get this one right, it may well be our last chance to bring America back from the edge of the abyss, the abyss of socialism and Obama.

THE MAJORITY of Generation X Latinos perceive that our faith sects (both Catholic and Protestant) have little to say about the issues that affect us most: technology-induced future shock, a national debt as frightening as a velociraptor, AIDS, and (perhaps most important) race and identity. What better way to explain the phenomenon of countless young Latinos leaving—in their own words, escaping—our religious institutions?

How I Responded to Public Racial Mockery
When Better Becomes Worse
When I showed a friend Haunted Marriage: Overcoming the Ghosts of Your Spouse's Childhood Abuse, he perused the book jacket and laughed, saying, "I guess everybody really is a victim." It was an insensitive comment, but one that is understandable, given our warped popular culture. It can be tiresome distinguishing which new categories of abuse and their associated healing strategies represent legitimate advancements, and which ones were crafted by the hacks behind Jerry Springer and Ricky Lake. But read Haunted Marriage and there is no doubt into which category this important book falls.
Authors Clark Barshinger, Lojan LaRowe, and Andres Tapia raise the specter of "spouses of sexual abuse survivors." Using Tapia's own marriage as a book-length case study, Barshinger and LaRowe—a husband-wife team of psychotherapists with 25 years of counseling experience—make the case that the abuse-surviving spouse isn't the only spouse in need of attention and healing.
In particular, Haunted Marriage makes clear that the abuse survivor's crisis often triggers a crisis for the spouse. Four years into their marriage, Tapia's wife Lori uncovered repressed memories of being sexually abused as a child. Hers was a painful and dark path of recovery. But not long after Lori began her process of recovery, Andres discovered great needs of his own:
In the same way that Lori projected onto me her unresolved feelings about her abuser, I was projecting onto her my unresolved feelings about my parents....As Lori and I tried to find each other in the haze of her healing process—and my growing realization of the process I needed to embark on for myself—we kept bumping into relational ghosts from our past.

DUBAI, (Pakistan Point News - 21st Nov, 2019) Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi-based sovereign investor, has renewed its partnership with Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company, to continue the highly successful joint-internship programme.
The programme was established in 2015 to grow the capabilities and skills of UAE’s future workforce and position them for a successful career in aviation and aerospace. The internship is an experiential learning opportunity at Boeing facilities in the United States that exposes a select group of undergraduate engineering students from the UAE to exciting career options in the world of aerospace engineering.
Throughout the 18-week programme, the students participate in professional development activities, build their network and broaden their exposure to Boeing and aerospace engineering. The students will be introduced to Fabrication, Manufacturing Engineering, Liaison Engineering, and Industrial Engineering modules during the programme.
In line with Mubadala’s goal of positioning Abu Dhabi as a global aerospace hub and expanding manufacturing output volumes, the programme has already had a positive impact for 40 Emirati candidates. Several graduates have gone on to secure employment at wholly-owned Mubadala companies such as, Strata Manufacturing, the composite aero-structures manufacturing company; Sanad Aerotech, the leading Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operation based in Abu Dhabi; and Yahsat, a leading global satellite operator providing innovative satellite communication solutions to government and commercial customers.
Commenting on the renewal of the programme, Badr Al-Olama, Head of Mubadala Aerospace, said, "Boeing is a long-term strategic partner and we are proud to collaborate with them once again on this important programme. In order to continue the development of the UAE’s aerospace industry, it is essential we invest in our most valuable asset – our youth– to build the future generation of aerospace professionals who will continue building the sector in the UAE."
"We are pleased to be working with Mubadala again on this successful programme. The Boeing-Mubadala Co-Op internship programme provides valuable aerospace engineering expertise, bolstering the UAE’s aeronautical capabilities. The students that graduated from this programme have shown great initiative, knowledge and skills and we look forward to welcoming the next cohort" said Bernard Dunn, President of Boeing middle East, North Africa and Turkey.
The relationship began in 2009 with the signing of a strategic framework agreement to develop mutually beneficial initiatives in areas of strategic alignment, notably composites manufacturing. Since then, the Mubadala-Boeing partnership has continually advanced and Strata is now a Tier 1 supplier to the company on major components used in empennage production.
According to the UAE’s Civil Aviation Authority, the aviation sector makes up 15 percent of the UAE’s non-oil gross domestic product, with an average forecasted growth rate of 20 percent annually. Graduates of the internship programme therefore represent an important factor in responding to the growing demand for national talent within the sector.

Nail Color. Monday , December 16th 2019.
Quote from Halloween Nail Art Step By Step :
You don’t even need to choose a single color. Its subtle color would work nicely with all sorts of dress. Your finest colors will improve your physical appearance and increase your mood. It can be gold or silver, or some other color it is contingent on the color of different nails. The other few colors were were a bit more sheer. Utilizing acrylic nail colors also offers you the opportunity to provide a go at lots of acrylic nails ideas like summer acrylic nail art. Everybody loves to get amazing, cool and funky nail colours.
Wine tints are appropriate for a darker range. If you’re not certain about how a nail color will appear on you, the very best approach to determine whether you prefer it is to test it out on a fingernail. There are a lot of amazing glimmer colors to pick from to make sure you could colour arrange and choose to combine diverse flashes to find an additional advanced glittery nail art style. Hues with a metallic shine will improve the enjoyable and traditional vibe. Pastel colors seem great. If you’re on the lookout for summer colors which are going to be evergreen, corals will remain ideal for summer and you can’t fail with neon shades.
If you paint new years nail designs for small nails, you will have to address laconic easy patterns. There’s surely something unique about all of the marble designs. That means you can boldly choose French design even when you have short nails. Cuticle nail design (also referred to as Lunar nail design) is regarded as among the trendiest short nails designs 2020. You’ve got a nail design which is both trendy and classic. Bead nail designs are made with small beads.
Golden shade forms the next noteworthy trend we would love to speak about. You are able to choose many red shades of nail colours.

There's only one option: Recall Joe Arpaio.
Nothing would inject more fear into the sheriff than a recall campaign similar to the one that led to the impeachment of former governor Evan Mecham.
The Mecham recall was given little chance of success in its early days by the mainstream media. The two dominant daily newspapers in the Valley at the time, the Arizona Republic and the now-defunct Phoenix Gazette (where I was working at the time as a business writer), dismissed the recall effort as amateurish.
But the recall -- which was spearheaded by gay activist Ed Buck -- tapped into a huge reservoir of discontent undetected by so-called political experts. The recall was successful; the only reason there wasn't a recall election was that the Arizona Legislature impeached the hapless Mecham.
Once again, all the ingredients are in place for a recall that this time would jettison the 72-year-old Arpaio from his expensive 19th-floor office atop the Wells Fargo tower in downtown Phoenix and send him shuffling back to his pricey home in Fountain Hills, where he could spend his retirement feeding quarters into the slot machines at the nearby Fort McDowell Casino along with other seniors.
Just because Arpaio won reelection doesn't mean he has insurmountable support. He had to campaign hard against Saban in the GOP primary to win 55.9 percent of the vote, the lowest winning margin of his infamous career.
A partisan primary and a recall election are two different creatures.
A recall campaign isn't restricted by party affiliation. Any registered voter can sign a recall petition and vote in a recall election. If Saban's 101,000 Republican supporters join forces with several hundred thousand Democrats and Independents in a countywide recall effort, Arpaio will be toast.
A recall is a relatively easy course of action.
What's needed is a dedicated core of workers, a great Web site and $300,000 to pay workers to collect the 283,300 signatures within 120 days needed to trigger the vote.
Even more enticing is that there are no campaign contribution limits to a recall campaign. Hence, the angry survivors of someone killed inside Arpaio's jail could throw in a large sum of cash to fuel the effort.
A well-run, Web-based operation modeled after Vermont Governor Howard Dean's presidential campaign would be the template for a successful grassroots fund-raising effort. Who even needs the daily newspapers to get the message across? The Web is far cheaper and more effective for communicating important specialized information and for quickly raising large sums of cash.
Those involved in this movement aren't likely to let Arpaio's despicable history of intimidation of political opponents scare them from taking direct action to kick him out of office. Most of them have seen political fights up close before and will consider a Recall Joe movement a hell of a lot of fun.
Let the party begin!
There are many reasons Arpaio should be removed from office, and removed as soon as possible.
Foremost is that this demented cretin is an increasingly dangerous threat to the safety and security of the three million-plus people living in Maricopa County.
Not only has he failed to fulfill his primary duty as sheriff -- which is to safely operate the county jails -- he has undermined the ability of law enforcement agencies in the county to implement anti-terrorism security measures mandated by the federal Department of Homeland Security.
Arpaio's decision to disband the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office's SWAT team last December is sending shock waves through law enforcement circles, and jeopardizing a countywide plan to have eight highly trained and heavily fortified rapid-response teams poised to react to terrorist attacks.
This puts the citizens of the county at unnecessary risk, says Fred Taylor, a Republican party official who served as a special criminal justice assistant to former governor Fife Symington.
Taylor says "Maricopa County's probably the most vulnerable county in the country" to a terrorist attack because of its large geographic size, proximity to a porous international border and potential prime targets like the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the world's largest commercial nuclear plant.
Arpaio, Taylor says, has alienated other law enforcement agencies with his cowboy mentality, which makes it difficult to develop a coordinated law enforcement effort.
"Nobody works with Joe," Taylor tells me. "You can't find me one chief of police in Maricopa County who will support Joe."
Indeed, every law enforcement group in Arizona backed Saban in the primary.
Arpaio's credibility took another hit when he began dismantling the SWAT team soon after he won reelection in November. Although I made fun of MCSO's SWAT officers for an inept raid on an Ahwatukee home last summer (a house was burned down, a puppy incinerated, and MCSO's armored personnel carrier smashed into a parked car), the squad before that had enjoyed a good national reputation.


Ceramic motor stage range now with Z-wedge vertical micropositioning
19 August 2011
Nanomotion has added a new Z-wedge vertical stage to its FB range of compact nanometre level positioning mechanics. Available in the UK through Heason Technology, the new vertical stages complement a modular and compact range of linear, rotary and goniometric stages that together provide multi-axis and nanometre level translation in all six degrees of freedom.
The new FBZ075-10 has a classic upper and lower wedge design featuring a precision grade cross roller bearing arrangement that maintains excellent stage stiffness, with a side mounted ceramic motor driving the bottom wedge via a ceramic strip. A linear encoder, available with optional resolutions from 5 to 100 nanometres, is mounted directly on the vertical translation element to eliminate potential wedge angle errors. The moving top plate has full and easy access from all sides and measures 75mm x 75mm with a maximum height of 48mm. The compact FBZ stage has a vertical travel range of 10mm and a load carrying capacity of 2kg.
The FB range utilises Nanomotion's HR series high force ceramic motors providing a wide dynamic speed range from a few microns per second up to 250 mm per second - with very high acceleration characteristics. Aimed at demanding ultra-high precision applications such as semiconductor, biomedical and opto-mechanical systems, the technology has no intrinsic magnetic field or moving parts and is well suited to ultra-clean and vacuum environments. Ceramic motor technology essentially has built-in braking and holding capability and is an excellent choice where high stiffness motion control needs to be combined with fast settling times and optimum in-position stability.
FB series linear positioning stages are available in travel ranges from 20 mm to 300 mm are available with direct loads to 3.75 kg. With goniometric style rotary stages available as well as full rotary models, users can arrange multi-axis positioning mechanics around a central pivot axis with angular resolution down to a few arc-seconds. Customised linear, rotary and Z-wedge stages are also available from Nanomotion, with modified features to exactly match application requirements for OEMs and system integrators. Dedicated 20 kHz servo drives from Nanomotion, or other compatible drives from Heason, are available together with a complete range of motion controllers for nano scale positioning.

As a new type of functional material, porous graphite foam exhibits unique thermal physical properties and geometric characteristics in heat transfer applications. It has the advantages of low density, high specific surface area, high porosity and high bulk thermal conductivity, which can be used as the core component of small, lightweight, compact and efficient heat sinks. Effective thermal conductivity serves one of the key thermophysical properties for foam-cored heat sinks. The complex three-dimensional topology and interstitial fluids significantly affect the heat conduction through such kind of porous structures, reflecting a topologically based effective thermal conductivity. This paper presents a novel geometric model for representing the microstructure of graphite foams, with simplifications and modifications made on the actual pore structure of graphite foam. For calculation simplicity, we convert the realized geometry consisting of complex surfaces and tortuous ligaments into a simplified geometry with circular ligaments joined at cuboid nodes, on the basis of the volume equivalency rule. The multiple-layer method is used to divide the proposed geometry into solvable areas and the series-parallel relations are used to derive the analytical model for effective thermal conductivity. To physically explore the heat conduction mechanisms at pore scale, direction numerical simulations were conducted on the reconstructed geometric model. Achieving good agreement with experimental data, the present analytical model (based on the simplified geometry) is validated. Further, the numerically simulated conductivities follow the model prediction, favoring thermally that the two geometries are equal. The present geometry model is more realized and capable of reflecting the internal microstructure of graphite foam, which will benefit the understandings for the thermo-physical mechanisms of pore-scaled heat conduction and micro structures of graphite foam.

Julia Roberts has converted to Hinduism after discovering all about the religion while filming new movie "Eat, Pray, Love" in India.
The "Pretty Woman" actress stars in the big screen adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's travel memoir, which sees her travel to India as part of a spiritual pilgrimage to learn about yoga, meditation and life in an ashram.
Roberts, whose parents are Baptist and Catholic, was so captivated by the ancient religion, she experienced her own spiritual awakening during the shoot.
She tells Elle magazine, "I'm definitely a practicing Hindu."

The actress reveals she regularly goes to temple to "chant, pray and celebrate" and even takes her husband Danny Moder and their three kids, 3-year-old Henry and 5-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, with her.
Roberts has also adopted the belief in reincarnation and she hopes her next life will be a "quiet" one.
She says, "Golly, I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life. Next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting."

- Blockchain startup Conflux has risen by more than 881% in the last three months.
- Backed by the likes of Huobi and Sequoia Capital, Conflux aims to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) to China.
- The project prides itself on being the only Chinese government-endorsed “public, permissionless” blockchain.
- The Shanghai-backed project debuted on the crypto exchange Binance on Monday, March 29, 2021.
While the spotlight has been on Bitcoin as it crossed the $60k mark, lesser-known cryptos like Conflux (CFX) have raked in greater price increases, percentage-wise, than the leading cryptocurrency.
The blockchain project Conflux, known as the largest public chain in China, has debuted on the leading crypto exchange, Binance. The listing was announced on Monday, March 29, 2021.
CFX listed on Binance on the back of a meteoric 881% rise over the last three months. The token’s price has risen from a 90-day low of $0.113 to a new all-time high of $1.70 on March 27 – talk about mooning!
Regardless of its meteoric rise over the last three months, Conflux (CFX) currently trades at $1.25, following a steep drop over the past few days. The current supply of 729,134,257 CFX will be the fixed supply of the token.
What Is Conflux?
Conflux is a blockchain startup backed by the city of Shanghai. It announced on Wednesday that it has formed a strategic partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange OKEx’s decentralized public blockchain.
The project prides itself on being the only “public, permissionless” blockchain that is endorsed by the Chinese government. It has also received backing from the likes of Sequoia Capital and Huobi.
In January, Conflux received a research grant worth over $5 million from the Shanghai Science and Technology Committee and Xuhui district government, which is part of Shanghai’s municipal government.
On the Flipside
- While the Conflux Network hopes to bring decentralized finance into China, its impact may be limited as the country has long taken a centralized stance toward cryptos.
- In a recent article, Yao Qian, a director at the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), outlined the possible approach to be adopted by China in its quest for the digital yuan.
- The method will be a top-down approach, with the central bank issuing a fixed amount of the CBDC to payment providers who will pass it on to the consumer.
The Conflux Network has announced that it aims to introduce the DeFi revolution in China, regardless of the blanket ban on crypto trading and exchanges in the country.
Conflux and OKEx, through their partnership, will jointly invest in resources that will foster the mass adoption of decentralization in products and management in China.
In addition, both parties will work together to expand their influence in the blockchain ecosystem both individually and collectively. Their aim is to advance healthy and sustainable development in the ecosystem while leaving the door open for collaboration with other projects across borders.
Conflux to Operate in China Regardless of Ban?
It’s very encouraging to see such high-quality blockchain projects like Conflux Network that are committed to transparency, decentralization, interoperability, and regulatory compliance partnering with OKExChain. These are the qualities that will enable strong and sustainable growth moving forward and attract developer talent from the wider ecosystem.
According to Conflux, although initial coin offerings (ICOs) and fiat-to-crypto trading have been banned in China, crypto-to-crypto trading is not banned, making their operation possible.

The Cathedral, one of the most beautiful basilicas on the Amalfi Coast, is particularly worth seeing. A majestic stairway leads to the magnificent Cathedral of Sant Andrea, built in 937, with cloister and museum. During the period of the Maritime Republic, in the 10th century, the majestic cathedral was built in the Romanesque style with three naves. The facade is decorated with mosaics and gold. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Andrew, the saint patron of Amalfi. The relics of Saint Andrew are conserved in the crypt under the cathedral. The cloister of paradise, “Chiostro del paradiso”, is particularly attractive.

Summer is here on the East End! With the (un)official start to summerbeing Memorial Weekend, let’s not lose sight of what Memorial Day is truly about: to remember those who lost their lives serving our country -- and anyone, anywhere, who lost their lives fighting to protect the freedom of others. Come show your support at the parades in East Hampton and/or Sag Harbor Village.
And, sadly, we have something else to mourn: please let’s say a prayer for the victims of the massacre in Uvalde and their families, even though we all know that much, much more than thoughts and prayers are needed to stop the madness that has become this country’s scarlet letter. One way we can all make a difference is by donating to Everytown, which aims to prevent gun violence.
We have tons to share with you from market updates and local news to upcoming events, new store openings and other ways to make the most of your summer out east.
First – some answers to the questions I get asked most:
How’s the sales market?
We’re off the volume and transaction numbers of the last two years, but part of that is because there has been NO inventory to sell. Demand is still outpacing supply. We are slowly starting to see more homes come on the market for sale, which is great. Move-in-ready, well-priced properties are still going quickly -- and with multiple offers. Bottom line: the market is quieter, but prices are holding.
What about rising interest rates?
Let’s put this in perspective – interest rates dropped to an all-time low during the pandemic. The rates are now rising (we are just a bit over 5% as I write this), but this is exactly where we were in 2019, pre-pandemic, when 5% was an all-time low rate. So, while the rates may impact buying power for some nationwide, they are still quite low, and luxury markets are less reactive.
Why hasn’t my house rented?
The rental market has slowed down quite a bit as we return to normalcy. Many people are traveling again, and so we’re back to the shorter, seasonal rentals, and many are still circling, waiting for last minute/shorter term deals, as they did in years past. While everyone who wants to be in for June likely already is, July/August viewings/offers will still be coming in mid to late June.
If you'd like to talk about the market greater detail, do not hesitate to call, text, email, or even DM me!

Before the arrival of the Europeans, the Native Americans lived in the Stone Age and had never seen iron objects. Their axes were made of stone. When America was discovered, the ‘trade axes’ played a major role in trade with the natives. The axes were made by the Europeans, but were soon so frequently used by the Native Americans that they came to be one of their leading symbols under the name Tomahawk. The axes served as currency, with the Europeans trading a given number of axes for guides, bearers, leather and fur, crafts and other valuables. Most of the native tribes were nomadic and did not concern themselves with house building or chopping firewood. Thus they were not interested in the larger broad axes, carpenter’s axes or splitting axes. What they really wanted were small, handy axes that could be carried on the belt. The practical tomahawks soon became very popular and were used for hunting, as battle arms, for domestic needs and for religious rites. In close combat, the tomahawk was primarily used as a hand weapon, but the Native Americans were also skilled in axe throwing. The word tomahawk stems from the Lenape tribe and their word tamahak, which roughly translates as ‘cutting tool’. The French tomahawk’s distinctive head has a 3’’ cutting edge and a 19″ hickory handle. Comes with a full grain leather sheath (cover). Weight: 17 oz.

Keywords:Asia, Africa, Europe, ASEM, cartography
The ASEM has been growing steadily in size and scope since its inception in 1996, and will probably continue to do so in the future. This article tries to map both the history of the concepts for depicting the classical continents and their very flexible boundaries, as well as a possible future course for ASEM from a cartographic point of view, especially in regard to the importance of and interest in Africa that most current ASEM members are showing. This is also considered as one of the future recommendable directions of the expansion of ASEM.

With support from the Art Wright Seminar Fund, Dr. Dong Hwan Oh, a senior economist and quantitative risk analyst at the Division of Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems of Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, spoke at the departmental Econometrics Seminar on Friday, October 7th.
Dr. Oh’s research focuses on analyzing financial markets and risk, as well as methodological development of forecasting and quantitative finance models. During this event, Dr. Oh presented his recent research paper, “Better the Devil You Know: Improved Forecasts from Imperfect Models”. The research paper proposes a new theory and empirical approach for improving the forecasting of financial and macroeconomic variables such as stock volatility, risk, and yield curve of the interest rates. The views expressed in this research are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Reserve Board.
PhD students, MSQE students from advanced econometrics and programming classes, and a focused group of undergraduates were invited to participate in the seminar. At the beginning of the talk, Dr. Oh recommended that students invest in quantitative data skills on the foundation of econometrics, which can give them great returns when they apply to research assistant/internship positions in the Federal Reserve and other financial institution. Also, through this opportunity, the faculty in the econometrics group were able to actively interact with an expert in financial market analysis, which can help them advise those students with career goals in financial industries.


IBM Planning on Bringing Native Containers and Pure Apps to Power8
Updated · Jul 22, 2015
There are few technologies today that are as exciting as containers for the deployment of virtualized applications. Containers run on multiple operating systems and now are able to run on IBM’s Power architecture with new capabilities set to debut later this year.
In a video interview, Doug Balog, general manager of IBM’s Power Systems group, discusses where containers fit into the Power architecture. Balog also provides some insight into future IBM Power systems that will be application workload focused.
“We’re pretty excited about containers, and the speed with which they can be spun up is really the value proposition,” Balog said.
To date, Docker containers have been able to run on Power8 systems running Ubuntu by way of the PowerVM hypervisor. In the future, the plan is to enable containers to run natively on Power8.
Balog noted that Power isn’t just about the hardware, as there is also IBM’s Pure Application strategy coming into focus that will bring application-centric stacks to Power systems.
“Clients can get not only the infrastructure, but also the middleware,” Balog said.
While Balog isn’t yet announcing an IBM Pure Power DB2 database machine, he said you never know what might show up in the market.

He got the first one out of the way.
The left-handed former top prospect earned his first victory in two years, striking out six batters in five innings to beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Sunday.
"I thought my fastball was the best it's been in a while," Norris said. "I felt like I could compete on every pitch instead of going too fast."
Norris (1-0) allowed two hits and walked one, earning his first victory since Sept. 28, 2017, and Gordon Beckham homered against his former team as the Tigers won two of three in the series.
"He threw the ball great," Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. "You could see it in his face, he was confident. And now we've just got to keep that going forward."
Greene had a perfect ninth inning to earn his league-leading 10th save in 10 tries for the Tigers, closing all of their wins. His 10 saves are the most for a Tigers pitcher before the end of April in franchise history.
"I thought he attacked the ball pretty well," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said on the throw. "I think the throw should have been lower obviously and maybe we might have been able to redirect."
Beckham added a towering solo home run in the seventh inning.
Tigers reliever Buck Farmer retired all four batters he faced, including three on strikeouts, but the White Sox had a two-out, three-run rally off Blaine Hardy and Victor Alcantara in the eighth. Ryan Cordell, Yolmer Sanchez, Leury Garcia and Tim Anderson all singled to pull within 4-3.
White Sox right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (1-3) had a season-high eight strikeouts in six innings, but allowed seven hits and two earned runs.
"If you keep your confidence and you keep working hard, you know that sooner or later you're going to get the results," Lopez said of his second straight quality start after three rough ones to open the season.
Dixon and John Hicks had two hits apiece for the Tigers.
Chasing a foul ball from his position at first base, Dixon went into the netting along the wall. He also ran into an out after getting his RBI single on his first Detroit at-bat, then threw wild to second base after Norris may have had Anderson picked off first in the fourth inning.
His RBI single had an exit velocity of 49.9 mph.
"I don't know if you call that a knock," Gardenhire said, when asked about the hit. "He was screaming alright, screaming from the pain. off the handle, wherever you want to call it. But it's a base hit."
BACK TO WORK
Renteria and Anderson were back with the team after both watched Friday night's win from a Detroit hotel.
Both were suspended for their actions during a bench-clearing incident Wednesday against Kansas City.
Anderson had a hit and two stolen bases for a league-leading nine this season. His .418 batting average also leads the majors.
White Sox: RHP Lucas Giolito said he hopes to miss only one start after hurting his hamstring on Wednesday in Kansas City.
White Sox: On Monday, LHP Manny Banuelos (1-0, 3.48) will make his first start since Sept. 6, 2015 when he was with Atlanta. He'll oppose RHP David Hess (1-3, 5.57) in the opener of a three-game series in Baltimore.
The walk off that closed the Yankee Stadium of college baseball
Rosenblatt Stadium played host to many dramatic games but its last game featuring Whit Merrifield and the 2010 championship-winning Gamecocks might top them all.
Streaking Yankees visit slumping Royals
The New York Yankees will be looking to continue their hot pace, while the Kansas City Royals will be looking to win a series for the first time since April 12-14 as the two clubs start a three-game series in Kansas City on Friday night.
Mets look to stay hot against Tigers
The New York Mets might have saved their season with this week with a four-game sweep of the Washington Nationals, whose imploding bullpen contributed directly to the Mets' final three wins of the series.
Likely without Davis, A's try to keep rolling vs. Mariners
The Oakland Athletics might not have slugger Khris Davis available when they open a nine-game homestand Friday night against the Seattle Mariners.
Marlins go for 7th straight as they face Nats
The Miami Marlins go for their seventh straight win when they open a four-game homestand against the fading Washington Nationals.
Astros set to square off against Sale, Red Sox
When Astros manager A.J. Hinch briskly walked to the mound to remove rookie right-hander Corbin Martin in the fourth inning Thursday at Minute Maid Park, what followed was an extended conversation that featured Hinch doing the talking and Martin all...


TAMPA (FOX 13) - FOX 13 meteorologists are monitoring the threat of severe weather on Sunday afternoon and evening.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center has issued a high risk of severe weather for Citrus County, and a moderate risk for most of the Tampa Bay area. Counties south of Hillsborough are under an enhanced risk.
A band of storms is moving through south Georgia and north Florida, and is expected to head south through Florida late afternoon or early evening.
According to FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto, this is the first 'high risk' issued by the Storm Prediction Center in January since 1999. It's also the first 'high risk' ever to be issued for portions of Florida.
State and local officials are urging residents to stay indoors and stay safe during severe weather.

Ron Johnson and Mike Pence Submitted False Presidential ElectorsOn Jan. 6‚ 2021‚ Johnson's aide texted Pence staffer Chris Hodgson asking to send him an alternate slate of electors. Hodgson said don't give him that. Johnson's staff may have broken the law if they submitted false electors to Pence. After all‚ overturning a legitimate election would be a violation of the law.
WASHINGTON -- Minutes before Congress set to start certification of Joe Biden's win on January 6‚ 2021 by Congress‚ an aide was present. U.S. Senator Ron Johnson spoke to former Vice President Mike Pences' staff Johnson was willing to deliver to Pence votes from Republicans of Wisconsin and Michigan‚ who were pretending to be Donald Trump's presidential electors. According to testimony presented by Tuesday's House select committee‚ Johnson must hand something to VPOTUS. It is what? Hodgson‚ a former legislative affairs director for Pence‚ replied. Riley sent Riley back an alternate slate of electors in MI and WI‚ as Riley didn't get them. Hodgson told Riley then: Don't give it to him. Descriptions of threats by election workers: a spotlight will be placed on the two election workers that faced trump and his aides at the jan 6 hearing Jan. 6 hearing takeaways: false claims by trump led to threats which turned people's lives around This exchange gives us a glimpse at Trump's involvement in the Oshkosh Republican campaign to block certification of 2020 elections. It was a campaign to reverse the results of the 2016 election that was fueled by Trumps fraudulent claims of election fraud‚ which triggered an uprising at the U.S. Capitol. Tuesday's evidence Once again‚ it was clear that Wisconsin‚ one of the seven states Biden won when groups of Republicans assembled as fake presidential electors‚ was the centre of attempts to reverse the election. Johnson‚ through a spokesperson‚ stated that he didn't try to reach out to Pence. He said that this is an entirely non-story.
Johnson claims that he was unaware of the situation.
In a separate interview.
New - Ron Johnson told us he has “no idea” who tried to get him to share fake electors from MI and WI to Pence on Jan. 6. Says he was aware of ask on Jan. 6 AM.
“I was aware that we got this package and that somebody wanted us to deliver it so we reached out” to Pence’s office. pic.twitter.com/bjJswKb28n — Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 21, 2022
Johnson stated that he didn't know about Pences team contact at his office. It was staff-to-staff communication... Someone delivered it to our office‚ and Johnson asked Johnson to give it to him. An alternate slate was not something I participated in. This was not something I knew. My chief of staff was right to contact the vice-presidents' staff. He added. We didn't give it because they didn't want it. Johnson answered the question‚ "Why did his office offer the envelope to Pences without first checking it?". Johnson said that his team had offered it again to Vice President and the vice presidency declined. Someone from the House or a staff intern said that Johnson needs it.
Caught up with Ron Johnson again and asked him why he offered something to Pence’s office without vetting the information. “We got handed an envelope that was supposed to go to the Vice President, I didn’t know.” Says it came from a House office. Doesn’t know which one. pic.twitter.com/CAoKAPwcIN — Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 22, 2022
Outside the Capitol. I was not involved. They didn't tell me what I heard. Alexa Henning was a Johnson spokeswoman. She claimed Johnson did not participate in creating an alternative slate of electors‚ and that she had no prior knowledge of the fact it would be delivered to her office. It was an exchange of staff between the two.
The senator had no involvement in the creation of an alternate slate of electors and had no foreknowledge that it was going to be delivered to our office. This was a staff to staff exchange. His new Chief of Staff contacted the Vice President’s office. — alexa henning (@alexahenning) June 21, 2022
. The Vice President's Office was contacted by his new Chief of Staff. We did not receive it from the Vice President's Office. No further actions were taken. That was the end of it. After U.S. Senator Ron Johnson's final words at the 2022 state Republican Party convention‚ Middleton on Saturday May 21st 2022‚ a supporter raised his fist. This year's convention is all about Fighting for Freedom. Johnson had planned to continue his effort to defeat Wisconsin's voters on Jan. 6‚ but he changed his mind after the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a mob with the same goals. After a one-year stint with Trump‚ Riley began working at Johnson's headquarters in 2015. He was promoted to chief of staff in January 2021. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reached out to Riley for an interview but he did not reply. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) stated that her Republican counterparts' actions were direct support for Trumps plot to overturn Wisconsin's will.
Ron Johnson on Jan. 6
Johnson was reported to have been in the hospital two days prior to the attack on Jan. 6‚ 2021. A group of GOP senators attended the meeting. Mike Lindell‚ chief executive of MyPillow. This included claims of electoral fraud. Johnson had planned to object on the floor to Wisconsin's elected officials before the certification vote. Johnson signed on to the Arizona formal objection vote‚ which was held before the attack. He then voted for the Arizona slate‚ following the insurrection. Johnson met later in 2021 with Wisconsin lawmakers at the State Capitol. Discuss the possibility of the Legislature taking control of federal and presidential elections Dismantling and reorganizing the State Elections Commission. Johnson met with GOP legislator leaders privately in the Capitol of the State in November. This was just weeks before Johnson launched his reelection campaign. The meeting came as Johnson's Republican base demanded more attention to the 2020 election. Evidence and testimony presented Tuesday suggested that state GOP officials weren't fully informed about the motives of this scheme to persuade Congress to approve a fake slate of presidential electors. Andrew Hitt (ex-chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin)‚ submitted paperwork to claim to be Trump elector.
He told the Jan.6 committee that he would only agree to this if the paper was used to challenge the outcome of the Trump legal challenges. These would not count if there was a ruling in our favor. That would be using our electors. Hitt stated Tuesday that our electors would have been used in ways we were not told and that we would not have supported. Also Tuesday‚ a text message sent by Mark Jefferson‚ the state GOP executive director indicated that Trump's campaign wanted to have his voter paperwork flown from Washington D.C. The Trump-obsessed idiots are looking for someone to take original voter papers to the Senate President. Jefferson said that they would call Jefferson to find out what is really going on.
Democrats respond to Johnson's involvement
Democrats immediately reacted to the revelations that Johnson tried to deliver Trump another term by assisting with his election. Ron Johnson was actively trying to subvert this democracy. He tried to give Mike Pence a list of fake voters‚ Mandela Barnes (Wisconsin's lieutenant governor‚ and leading Democratic candidate for Johnsons Senate Seat)‚ literally.
. Barnes sent in a letter requesting that he resign.
Ron Johnson tried to overturn our election and destroy our democratic process. I'm calling on him to resign. — Mandela Barnes (@TheOtherMandela) June 21, 2022
. Alex Lasry and Tom Nelson‚ both Democratic Senate candidates‚ similarly criticised Johnson. Trump and MAGA allies organized‚ funded‚ and paid for a conspiracy to reverse an election that they had lost.
. Ron Johnson tried to bring it to DC with a silver platter. Godlewski stated in a statement that Ron Johnson poses a danger to democracy and cannot continue to serve in the United States Senate. Nelson recommended that the Department of Justice further investigate Johnson's role. Johnson shouldn't just resign but be put under oath. All signs indicate that Johnson committed a crime which the U.S. Department of Justice has an obligation to investigate. He said.

We are Autun-Morvan Tours by Vélo TransAtlantique,
and we offer a French bicycle touring experience with a real difference.
tours are performance oriented and follow the spring classics, or one
of the grand tours. Others will take you in stages from one town to
another, usually along one of France’s more heavily traveled
tourist areas. In neither of these examples, fine though they are,
will you have a chance to know France. With our tour, you won’t
be on a schedule, you won’t have to rush
to get to the next town when what you really want to do is ride a few more miles,
and you won’t have to worry about packing and unpacking every day.
From our home town in Autun, in the heart of the Burgundy region, we
will explore the region that the French call, “la France Profonde”,
deepest France. Autun is known as one of the gateways to the Morvan regional
park which is situated in the heart of Burgundy and covers 1,158 square
Our tour offers an opportunity to become immersed in the life, culture, and rhythms of a typical French town in one of the most beautiful regions of France. From your base in Autun, we will ride along rural lanes into remarkable french countryside. Each day, you will find the hidden corners of the region, the sweeping views across pastoral valleys, the small family chateaux, roman ruins, and pre-Roman edifices. At the end of each day, you will return to the town that will become yours for the week.
Each year, the town, and region, offers a new surprise. This July,
Autun will host the 5th stage of the tour de France. In fact the Tour
de France will pass in front of our home here, you’ll cheer them
from out front gate, and you’ll ride the very same roads that we
consider our back yard in the wonderful Morvan hills.
There is more to Autun than the tour however. There is a weeklong
choral festival. There is market day on Wednesday and Friday mornings.
There are concerts on the town square, and much more.
The full tour package is described on the following pages where you will also
find a note from one of our guests from last year. Our tours are open to all
cyclists no matter what brand of bicycle you own. We restrict each tour to 8
people. We are offering five tours; one a month from May through September, but
can add more if needed. We can also customize a tour for you. You can contact
me with your questions, and for additional information, at the numbers below.
Read what our participants had to say!
We are looking forward to being your hosts

Medicare costs are exploding! Where’s our 60 cities/60 days Medicare roadshow?
Medicare spending for doctors’ services shot up 15 percent last year, and beneficiaries will have to pay premiums of $89 a month in 2006, up $11 from the current level, the Bush administration said Thursday.
Dr. Mark B. McClellan*, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, provided the new data in a letter to a federal advisory panel. He expressed “great concern” about the rapid increase in Medicare spending.
His tone on Thursday differed from that of senior Bush administration officials last week. Eight days ago, John W. Snow, the Treasury secretary; and Michael O. Leavitt, the secretary of health and human services, said the financial problems of Social Security were more severe and urgent than those of Medicare.
Beneficiaries now pay a premium of $78.20 a month. The administration said last week that the premium would rise to $87.70 next year. On Thursday, Medicare officials raised their estimate to $89.20. That amounts to a 34 percent increase in two years, from $66.60 in 2004.
Those numbers do not include the cost of the Medicare prescription drug benefit that becomes available in January. Those premiums are expected to average $35 a month.
*Yes, that’s Little Scottie’s brother Markie-Mark.
