IDN Poker – How to Play Online Poker
If you are new to the game of poker, it is advisable to know some basic rules and strategies before playing the game. You should try various kinds of poker and know what you prefer the most. In addition, you can seek the advice of experienced players to master various tricks. Poker is a fun and competitive game, and you can play poker from home or any place you have an Internet connection. However, you should understand some of the rules of poker to avoid getting into trouble.
A good online idn poker site has a reputation. Its membership is free and members are allowed to communicate via various means, including emails. Moreover, IDN Poker is an agen poker online terpercaya website that offers different kinds of bonuses. For example, it is possible to get a bonus after winning a tournament. You should also consider how much you are willing to pay to win. Aside from that, it is worth noting that IDN Poker does not charge a pendaftar fee, making it easier for you to win.
If you have a computer, you can download the IDN Poker apk to play poker online. You can also try the popular games on mobile devices such as iPhones and Android. However, you should note that there is one major drawback to using IDN Poker: the app requires registration before you can access the game. It can be downloaded on most PCs, and is approved by the BMM Testlabs and PAGCOR. Also, you can download the idn poker app on your phone, and it works in all devices.
IDN Poker offers numerous account security measures to ensure that the game remains fair. The platform requires users to create an account to log in and can save the web playing data. It is not complicated to use an APK; you just need to register with the network, choose a server, and start playing. You’ll soon see that your game is in the hands of an experienced player. It’s important to choose a safe poker network to play at.
If you have never played poker before, you can still become an agen. As an agen, you will have access to a large pool of players, and will be able to determine the best hands. Aside from ensuring the safety of other players, you’ll also be responsible for making the decision about the next hand. And, as the agen, you can also play the games you like while earning the rewards you’ll want.
While many people have heard of the nut flush, few know that a nut flush can happen when you have top pair three streets on the board. A nut flush on the river is a common case of this. However, you’ll have to play a game of poker to find out if you’re capable of beating your opponent. As long as you have a good hand, you can take down the game. If you’re looking for more strategies, read through the articles below.

KUWAIT CITY, July 23: Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed the Central System for Remedying Status of Illegal Residents (CSRSIR) that the Saudi Embassy in Kuwait revealed that Hajj and Umrah visas for Bedoun residents will be issued only on presentation of proof of their original nationality, reports Aljarida daily quoting parliamentary sources.
They explained that the embassy has informed the ministry about three regulations for granting visas to holders of Article 17 passports. They must fill a form with their personal data and fingerprints authenticated by Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry must guarantee their return to Kuwait as they cannot stay in Saudi Arabia for any other reason. In addition, a proof of their original nationality must be attached.
The sources indicated that Ministry of Foreign Affairs has addressed the embassy with a letter containing a request for exemption from the condition of proving the original nationality for this category, so that the Bedoun residents are not deprived of opportunities to perform Hajj and Umrah rituals especially since many of them do not have an original nationality.
Meanwhile, Ministry of Interior has decided to stop accepting applications from Kuwaiti citizens under the age of 30 years for Bangladeshi domestic workers, reports Al-Anba daily.
The concerned authorities in the ministry issued a circular to pull out the names of citizens who are under 30 years of age who had applied for domestic visas to bring Bangladeshi expatriates to Kuwait.
Assistant Undersecretary for Citizenship and Travel Documents at Ministry of Interior Major General Mazen Al-Jarrah has called for thorough search and inspection of trucks arriving in Kuwait due to repeated cases of infiltrations into the country, reports Al-Shahed daily.
He officially addressed Assistant Undersecretary for Ports Security Affairs, revealing that securitymen arrested two Pakistani infiltrators who explained during investigations that they had reached an agreement with an Egyptian truck driver to help them enter Kuwait from Saudi Arabia for which he charged them KD 400. They hid in the truck, which crossed the Kuwaiti borders, and then took a taxi to Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh where they stayed for a year before they were arrested.
Major General Al-Jarrah stressed the need to inspect the trucks coming into Kuwait and ensure they are free of infiltrators.

Freddie Roach Says Pac-Man “Carried” Margarito, Mosley - Says He Wants A KO Over Tim Bradley
By James Slater - Has superstar and P-4-P #1 (or #2, depending on which publication you are reading) Manny Pacquiao slipped a little? Has the 33-year-old southpaw sensation lost his ability to render an elite fighter unconscious?
Article posted on 09.04.2012
Pac-Man fans were somewhat disappointed with their hero’s winning fights with Sugar Shane Mosley and, last time out, that squeaker of a majority verdict over archrival Juan Manuel Marquez. Whispers that Manny might, just might, have lost an amount of his chilling power were heard after the wide yet largely dull win over the ageing Mosley (a fight that also angered many, what with the constant touching of gloves the two so-called, should-be, rivals engaged in during the “action.”) And after the “gift” win over the Mexican great known as “Dinamita,” these whispers became more than a touch louder..
It may simply have been the fact that the superb Marquez will always give Pacquiao nightmares due to his style and the fact that he has Pac-Man’s number; but fans want to know one way or the other: is the Filipino icon on the slide or not? Next up, unbeaten, superbly conditioned 140-pound champ Tim Bradley gets his chance to find out firsthand.
Trainer Freddie Roach, the man responsible for a good percentage of Manny’s magic, has an interesting theory as to why his star pupil failed to get rid of not only Mosley but before that fight, Antonio Margarito. Speaking with The Manila Bulletin recently, Roach said Pacquiao “carried” Margarito and Mosley, out of “pity” for his two opponents (Roach never said Pacquiao “carried” Marquez!).
Personally, I have no argument with Roach as far as the Mosley fight goes. Had Pacquiao gone for it as he should have done after scoring that 3rd-round knockdown over Sugar, I’m certain he could have terminated a fight that instead dragged on for boring round after boring round. But the Margarito fight? No way. Pacquiao, moving up to a career-heavy 150-pounds at the time, later admitted to being hurt bad by body shots in the middle rounds. Promoter Bob Arum later said his fighter would no longer face naturally bigger men like “Tony” because the fight had been too hard and too damaging. That sure doesn’t sound like a fight that Pac-Man permitted to drag on to the final bell because he had “pity” for the other guy, does it?
Mosley, yes, I can buy that Pacquiao carried his man - Margarito, no chance.
In any case, Roach, who has said, with regard to recent talk of possible retirement from Manny, that he will decide when the right time to walk away has arrived, says his fighter will go back to his lean, mean, killer ways on June 9th. If Pacquiao can actually do so, it could be bad news for Bradley. But again, by how much has Pacquiao passed his peak? KO’ing Bradley, 28-0(12) may not prove to be as sure a thing as Roach seems to think it might be.
Rest assured though, there will be no “carrying” going on in this fight - whether Pacquiao wins or loses!

We were at Merrimack High School this morning for a meeting regarding some testing Isaac had done over the past couple of weeks. It was just after morning announcements, and as we went to our meeting, the music from Star Wars could be heard coming from every room.
I caught enough of the description playing with an apparent news report to later learn that Merrimack High School had worked with New Hampshire-based filmmaker Jeff Capone to produce a Star Wars parody entitled Star Sports, that won for the Best Parody in the Fan Movie Challenge presented by Lucasfilm and Atom at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con International.

In a typical day, I come across many fascinating things that aren’t exactly well known. This is a list of things which interest me, and probably does not reflect interest in the general population. Of course, thinking about that alone is of interest to me, so … (Ah, recursion!)
Cyborgs Are Real
Way cool neuroscience.
Gizmodo Goes to Lego
Far more here than I could summarize, including a video tour of the Lego factory.
Star Wars is Nearer than You Think
Actually, Star Wars weapons fire charges of ionized Tibanna gas, but you’ll get the idea.
Microsoft 3D Modeler
And you thought everything from Microsoft was evil.
The Large Hadron Collider Rap
Almost as good as “White and Nerdy.”
ShapeWays 3D modeling
These aren’t quite replicators, but affordable 3D “printing” is now at our disposal.
Marketing and Stop Signs
What happens when the marketing department designs a stop sign? (Software and graphics design often go this way.)
The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer
Gamers will understand the reference. Others may learn something.
Keeper of the Star Wars Canon
Imagine having to hold the continuity of a universe together single-handedly. (Well, it helps to have some database skills.)
The Mythbusters Weren’t Allowed to Bust This.
What “the man” doesn’t want you to know about RFID.
I Have Decided to Become President
What do you think of, “Grow up, you babies!” as a campaign slogan?

Skvid = SKit on VIDeo
Last week our pastor asked me to put together a video skit to help illustrate a sermon in a series of lessons on stewardship: What happens when we overwhelm ourselves with choices and activities? Of course, it also illustrates beautifully the quirkiness of the Wilcox family.
I did the video in Windows Movie Maker, a free download for Windows XP. I had to overcome a quirk that kept locking the software up, discovering that previewing clips in the preview window wouldn’t work correctly, unless I dragged the clips to the timeline first. I can’t explain that, but wish I’d found the answer hours earlier. Movie Maker isn’t bad, but I need something that will let me treat the audio track from the video separately, as well as add more audio layers.
The film was shot entirely out of sequence, in order to meet the availability schedule of the actors (my kids), over the course of a very busy Saturday. The Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back clip was created by shooting our own HDTV, the quickest way I could think of to get the piece I needed.
Background music includes Ella Fitzgerald’s, “I’m Beginning to See the Light,” and the title theme from Back to the Future.
Overall, it’s a tad too long at just over 6 minutes (the goal was 5 minutes), and I never got around to including any video transitions. I may tweak it a bit in the next few days, especially if I try out a more advanced software package, and hope to get it down to 4 to 4.5 minutes. I recall seeing George Lucas talking about an old filmmaker adage, “Films are never finished, just abandoned,” and how he had the technology (and money) to keep going back to his films to finish them the way he wanted.

Last night, Doug mentioned that he wanted to make banana bread. Now this is major.
So, after dinner, he and Naomi headed out to the neighbors to get 1/2 cup of shortening. He tried a few homes before getting some. The only thing I had to do was put out the ingredients, and he and Naomi did the rest.
The finished product looked great and tasted great. I was very impressed. I told him, “This is just the beginning, just think of all of the things you can start making.” He wasn’t all that keen on that idea, but this morning he mentioned to Naomi that they can make more this weekend.
Doug’s teaching techniques are quite unique, too. I found him telling Naomi, “You have to let go your aggression on the bananas … feel the hate,” when they needed to be mashed. Waaaaay too much Star Wars influence here. She had a lot of fun, and Doug commented that it was fun working with her, too. Naomi also likes to help me cook, so she now gets the teaching from both of us. Which is of course helpful for her to be well rounded.

For years, we waited in fear while director Peter Jackson worked on The Lord of the Rings movies. Those who so loved the books were not convinced, especially given the early press, that any director could possibly bring them to screen in a manner that would please diehard fans.
But he did it. We abandoned our idolatrous worship of George Lucas, and erected a new god in his place: Peter Jackson.
Nichelle and I have just watched the trailer for the upcoming King Kong remake, directed by Jackson, and believe that he may have done the impossible again: Making a good remake, and making a good film out of the King Kong story.

There aren’t very many digital cinemas, nationwide. There were 83, if memory serves, when Star Wars Episode I opened. We were fortunate enough to live near one.
DLP is, quite frankly, an amazing improvement over film. I have heard that there are some theaters with a newer DLP projector that has even higher resolution.

Okay, let’s hear what you thought.

Being at the first showing of Star Wars Episdode III was really exciting in many ways.
Nichelle and I weaseled our way into attending the midnight opening at the Apple Tree Cinemas, along with our friends Mark and Shelby Sohmer, and six of their friends: Matt and Wendy Camillieri, Phil and Jennifer Wilson, Matt and Heather Graves. Their plan was to go out to eat ealier at the nearby 99 restaurant, and then head over between 9:30 and 10:00 to get into line.
I still had my Jedi costume from Episode I, and Nichelle surprised me by announcing that she would also create a costume. She found one of David’s action figures that would be possible to re-create, and hit the costume shops for makeup, thrift shops for the clothing, and a fabric store for a few dollars’ worth of material.
Nichelle and I had our Wednesday night Bible study at church, and then needed to install the baby sitter(s) at our house and change into our costumes, so dinner with the group was out for us. We got to the theater just before 11, and found the rest of our group waiting out back for the opening at 12:01 a.m.
Below are the costumes my wife Nichelle and I wore (and our son, Isaac, hamming it up). Nichelle is dressed as Jedi Master Luminara Unduli. (Disclaimer: This is a very unflattering picture of Nichelle, and not a very good idea of what my Jedi costume looked like, either.) Nichelle and I were asked to pose for pictures on our way in, and complimented on our costumes on our way out.
Star Wars fans are an interesting bunch, and the fandom was truly in Force (I couldn’t resist—sorry) that evening. The lines went out around the building in every direction. While waiting for the film, we saw dozens of costumes: Lea Organa, Darth Vader (thanks primarily to the Darth Vader Voice Changer helmet now available in toy stores everywhere), Boba Fett, an attempt at General Grievous (which I didn’t figure out until the next day), several jedi. Light sabers were in abundance, including a few very nice plasma-tube models with realistic sound effects and a very convincing (if permanently attached) blade, the plasma in which extended and retracted when it was powered up. (Of course, there is such as thing as going overboard with this.)
Most of our group was at the far back of the line, and when we got in, Nichelle and I discovered that only 8 seats had been saved instead of 10. We settled for what appeared to be the only two adjoining seats left, in the far left of the third row of the “orchestra pit” section of the theater—not really ideal viewing.
We ran into several people from our church, most of whom were guys who had left their wives at home with the children. (Personally, I hate attending anything without Nichelle, although a break from the kids is sometimes welcome.)
There was quite a bit of time to wait between opening the auditorium and starting the movie. Some fans brought laptops or portable DVD players and were watching the other Star Wars films. People were chatting, laughing, trying to make pithy (perhaps Sithy) remarks. The atmosphere was festive, yet full of anticipation.
The management held a costume contest, which we had not known about. (As a prize, in our auditorium they gave away the full-size Chewbacca cardboard stand-up which had been used for promotion before then.) About a dozen of us lined up in front of everyone, and a cheer-based voice vote was conducted. It became clear that the winner would not be the one with the best costume, but the favorite character. Nichelle and I did fairly well; ultimately, though, Boba Fett won out over Darth Vader. Vader then attacked Boba with a light saber, which generated laughter and applause.
Our friend Phil Luchon reported via cell phone that in his theater in Randolph, Massachusetts, people set off the fire alarm twice, and they had to evacuate the auditorium. A guy dressed as a stormtrooper yelled, “The first transport is away!” and everyone cheered.
Then the magic began! (Except that the left half of our screen was badly out of focus, and I found that very distracting, especially being so close to the front. The manager of Apple Tree Cinemas is sending us VIP passes—there was, indeed, a problem with the lens.)
Without revealing much in this non-spoiler article, we really loved the film. Anakin’s complete turn to the Dark Side is indeed very disturbing. Yoda is amazing in both action and dramatic expression. The integration of the prequel and sequel story lines, and some nagging questions left over from Episode I are handled wonderfully. Lucas has finally succeeded in making a prequel that works.
When we got home, we discovered Isaac had written this note, and put it in front of our bedroom door:
We took the kids to see the film on Saturday afternoon.

Vehicle Ventilation Filters - Influence of Test Set-Up and Parameters on Performance Results
Published May 09, 1995 by Institution of Mechanical Engineers in United Kingdom
Cabin air filters for motor vehicles became a standard during the recent years. This article gives an overview of the reasoning for a related test methodology. This means to identify sets of performance parameters to be tested for different product types, furthermore, we will describe the test regimes under discussion. The relevance of the currently discussed test conditions for practical applications is discussed for particle filters, an alternative relating the obtained results more closely to practical conditions of use is proposed. As adsorptive filters for this market are a quite recent development experience with test regimes has to be gathered, still. Therefore, more basic questions regarding parameters potentially affecting the test results are discussed.

The first 3D and triple-level cell (TLC) SSDs by Micron
Micron has announced its first 3D NAND SSDs, triple-level cell (3bits/cell) 1100 and 2200 products.
The 1100 is a 6Gbit/s SATA product coming in 2.5-inch and M.2 SATA formats in 256GB, 512GB, 1024GB and 2048GB (2.5-inch only) capacity points, it uses 32-layer TLC NAND with 384Gb dice.
Micron 1100 3D NAND SSD in the M.2 form factor
1100’s speeds and feeds;
- To 92,000 random read 4K IOPS
- To 83,000 random write 4K IOPS
- 530MB/sec sequential read
- 500MB/sec sequential write
- Latency – read/write 85μs/40μs typical FOB
- Endurance – 120TB written – 256GB, 240TBW – 512GB, 400TBW 1 & 2TB (=224GB/day for 5 years)
For reference, here are the characteristics of Micron’s M600, using 16nm process MLC flash with 128Gb dice:
- To 100,000 random read 4K IOPS
- To 88,000 random write 4K IOPS
- 560MB/sec sequential read
- 510MB/sec sequential write
- Endurance – 100TB written – 128GB, 2000TBW – 256GB, 300TBW – 512GB, 400TBW 1TB
Considering the fact that TLC has less endurance than MLC NAND as well as slower performance, 1100 shows a significant result being not that far behind M600.
1100 has an extreme low power mode called DEVSLP, with less than 2 mW needed for 256 and 512 GB products in this mode, whereas 1TB needs 4mW.
Like the M600, the 1100 has dynamic write acceleration. Its uncorrectable bit error rate (UBER) is <1 sector per 1015 bits read. The product features encryption and secure erase capability and a 1.5 million hours MTBF rating.

KING OF THE SWINGERS
Thomas Vijayan's image of langurs in India's Bandipur National Park has been crowned winner of this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award.
Vijayan travelled from Canada to India to photograph tigers and leopards. After a day on safari in Bandipur with no sight of the big cats, his attention was caught by a group of gray langurs playing on a nearby tree.
With the evening light descending, a small langur lowered itself down on the tails of two adults, using them to swing beneath a branch.
'Big cats are my favorite subjects in photography,' said Vijayan. 'But on this particular day, when the safari was almost over with no sighting of any big cats, everyone was looking around hopefully.
'I saw a few langurs playing on a tree, and it struck me that there was a chance for a good photograph. While everyone else was waiting for the tigers, I came back with this mesmerising moment.'
The top five images are just some of the images now on display at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.
They can also be seen in the Natural History Museum: Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015 online gallery.


R&B queen Beyoncé had a career-defining show this past Sunday, June 26, when she headlined the U.K.’s decades-old Glastonbury Festival as well as broadcasting part of her performance via satellite for the 2011 BET Awards. And although Beyoncé could undoubtedly land any major festival of her choosing, the “Crazy In Love” singer says that her performance at Glastonbury wouldn’t have been possible without her husband, Jay-Z.
In an interview with BBC’s Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley following her festival performance, Beyoncé, still beaming from her set, explained that this show was one of the most memorable of her career.
“I wasn’t kidding when I said this night was a dream. I felt like a rock star,” said an overjoyed Beyoncé. “I’m so honored. This is like a highlight of my career.”
While Beyoncé was still basking in the glory of her show-stopping set, which included megahits from her catalog and covers of songs from Alanis Morissette, Kings Of Leon and The Eurythmics, the 4 singer explained that her husband Jay-Z paved the way for her performance.
“I was able to see my husband perform here a couple years ago, and it was one of the most exciting nights for me, and I don’t know if I would have been asked to come if he didn’t do the performance,” explained the singer.
Adding, “I don’t normally do festivals and 175,000 people, and I was very nervous. And everyone gave me so much love, and I will never, ever, ever, ever forget this.”
In 2008, Jay-Z famously broke ground for hip-hop when he became the first rapper to headline the typically rock-oriented festival since its inception in 1970. Despite initially receiving criticism for his appearance from longtime fans of the show as well rock band Oasis’ singer Noel Gallagher, Jay-Z went on to wow a sold-out crowd at Glastonbury.
“That was a real triumph to bring hip-hop from the streets of New York to Glastonbury,” show promoter Michael Eavis told the BBC, following Jay-Z’s performance. “All that doom and gloom about ticket sales, but we were completely sold out by Thursday, and we had such a younger audience.”
Now that Beyoncé and Jay-Z both have given groundbreaking performances at the Glastonbury Festival, we wonder who will be next from the world of hip-hop and R&B to headline the famous U.K. festival. –nicholas robinson

Bedford council requires lease, ballot question from dog-park groupBy KATHY REMILLARD
Union Leader Correspondent
November 18. 2012 9:06PM
BEDFORD - If residents want a dog park in Bedford, they'll have to win a vote on the ballot in March, according to a decision made by councilors at a meeting last week.
According to Town Council Chairman Bill Dermody, councilors passed a motion requiring the Friends of the Canine Corner to enter a lease agreement with the town to operate a dog park on land donated by the town on Nashua Road.
After several years scouting a location and fundraising, a difference of opinion over who is responsible for the park's maintenance developed between the town and the Friends of the Canine Corner.
The Friends of Canine Corner received approval in January from the council to use an 80-foot-by-200-foot parcel of land on Nashua Road for a dog park, providing that the construction, monitoring, operation and fundraising be conducted by the group, which began as a town-appointed subcommittee.
The motion also stipulated that a mutually agreeable contract would need to be developed between the town and the Friends.
Town Manager Jessie Levine expressed concern over loss of staff time should the park be overseen by the town, and gave the group three options: either enter into a lease agreement with the town, wait a year to see if staffing levels and workloads change, or submit a petitioned warrant article on the March ballot.
Sandy Lamontagne, a member of the Friends of Canine Corner, said at a Sept. 26 meeting that the group has always been under the impression that the dog park would be a town park. In past years, Lamontagne said, the issue of liability had come up, and the group was clear that it did not want a lease agreement with the town.
"We have never come up with an opinion that it's something we'd even be interested in," she said.
Lamontagne said that exposing a group of volunteers to potential lawsuits was too much for the town to ask.
"Asking private citizens now to take on the liability, it just seems a lot to ask of these volunteers that were solicited by the town to do this in the first place," she said.
Dermody said that putting the park on the ballot is the only option left if residents still want a dog park. Dermody said that even under the direction of former town manager Russ Marcoux there was never an intent to build a dog park in Bedford.
"There was never a motion by the council to say, 'Russ, go build a dog park,' " Dermody said.
Dermody said the council has not withdrawn the use of the property, and can bring the dog park issue to voters in the spring.

The doctors behind the successful separation of the Bangladeshi Siamese twins conjoined at the head say the girls have years of rehabilitation ahead of them.
According to MTI, the physicians who headed the series of medical procedures, dubbed “Operation Freedom”, said the girls’ condition was now stable but there is a long road ahead.
“The series of operations has not ended. Secondary skull construction and other rehabilitation could take years,” chief coordinator Gergely Pataki said.
Pataki said Rabeya “is smiling, talking, eating, and her mother can hold her”, while Rokaiya is still in a medically induced coma after suffering a viral infection. The girls’ neurological status and their outlook can be assessed after a couple of months, he added.
The first phase of Operation Freedom, including groundbreaking work to separate the blood flow of the brains, was conducted by a Hungarian team led by István Hudák in Bangladesh in August 2018.
Preparatory surgery to separate the twins was performed in Hungary on January 25th this year. During the operation led by Dr Gergely Pataki, the tissue expander system was implanted. A team of 35 Hungarian doctors and assistants led by András Csokay from Budapest’s Honvéd Hospital carried out the final procedure during a 30-hour operation on August 1-2 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Pataki said the Hungarian team had paused to pray together, with their Muslim and Hindu colleagues, three times during the final procedure. He said more than two tons of medical equipment had been brought to Bangladesh for the procedure, and most was left as a donation.
The doctors plan to travel back to Bangladesh to continue operating on Rabeya and Rokaiya in 3-6 months. Operation Freedom was organized by the Foundation for Defenseless People.

As a treat of sorts, here’s something I’veÂ considered posting for a while: the Norwegian soundtrack EP released for the animated movie JungeldyretÂ (known as Jungledyret in its original Danish, and Go Hugo Go or Jungle Jack internationally). I bought the CD as a kid, and I believe I even bought itÂ right after having seen the movie at the theater.Â My memory is aÂ bit woozy.

The Passaic’s wildly convoluted path invitations detours into the river’s flood-prone typical heritage, New Jersey’s distinct geology, the corrupt practices of the Newark chemical plant that produced Agent Orange and poisoned the river with dioxin, and into the lives of an unforgettable forged of characters who've lived and labored alongside the Passaic and who're making an attempt, even now, to reserve it. half ordinary historical past, half own heritage, half rollicking experience, the ebook is a story meditation at the ask yourself of nature, the long-lasting ties of family members, and the facility of water and loss. “My nice grandmother cherished to claim, ‘Don’t shit within the nest,’” writes Bruno. “The Passaic River is an item lesson in what can occur after we forget about that easy, salty advice.”
"An American River is an elaborate and gratifying braid of memoir, background, technological know-how, nature writing, and acute social commentary. this is often an invigorating and hopeful ebook, and its experience of ask yourself is infectious. it is not, i believe, too nice a stretch to claim that it holds its personal at the shelf along Walden, Silent Spring and A Sand County Almanac."

Last month I launched a competition in collaboration with Mothercare to offer one lucky mama-to-be a photoshoot experience with a professional hair stylist and make-up artist, plus a capsule wardrobe of maternity clothes from Mothercare, collated and styled by me, Helen.
We had some great entries and the winner, Liz, a first time mum-to-be, joined us for a fun afternoon of grooming, styling and (photo-) shooting!
Stylist mode: Talking Liz through the outfits I’d put together for her.
The maternity capsule wardrobe
Styling real women to help them look and feel great is my ‘day job’, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable each time I put together outfits for a woman to flatter her figure, complement her lifestyle and fit in with her budget. It’s even more rewarding than putting a meal on the table which every member of the family finishes and enjoys!
When it comes to maternity style you’re dealing with a changing body shape which can present a challenge but it’s a great opportunity to experiment and try new styles. I got in touch with Liz before the shoot to find out about her current style and selected from the Mothercare maternity range to put together 3 outfits to suit Liz’s changing shape, her style preferences and lifestyle.
“I had given Helen an insight into what my style is, and the clothes she picked out for me were perfect. The jeans are so soft and comfortable and fit over my bump really well.” Liz, winner.
Animal print cardigan | Black vest | Wine skinny jeans
Style tip: Don’t always opt for blue jeans, introduce colour to your denim wardrobe. Deep red skinny jeans are just as versatile as blue denim and instantly add interest to your outfit.
This look follows my easy outfit formula to include a colour (jeans), a neutral (vest), a print (cardigan), a metallic (necklace).
“I absolutely love the dress in look 2. If I had seen it in the shop I don’t think I would’ve tried it on, but when I put it on I fell in love with it. It fitted perfectly and I was so proud to show off my bump.” Liz.
Style tip: With a bold printed dress, let the pattern and your pregnant curves do the talking and keep accessories simple. Go metallic for a dressed-up look.
This stretch dress will take Liz through her pregnancy with ease and work for dressed-up daytime events and evening wear. Dress up with a neat jacket and heels or dress down with a long cardigan, tights and ankle boots for warmth through the winter.
“My favourite pieces of the day were the Grey cardigan in look 3 with the distressed denim jeans, I don’t think I’ve taken the grey cardigan off since the shoot!” Liz
Grey marl wrap front fringed cardigan | Navy maternity nursing vest | Dark wash girlfriend jeans
Style tip: Wrap-over knitwear will keep you and your bump comfy and cosy through the winter months and is ideal for nursing once baby’s here.
Choose your basics wisely during pregnancy to see you through the whole 9+ months and beyond. Nursing vests will be worn over and again, layered under everything so don’t be afraid to invest in these and great jeans.
All clothing, Mothercare.

“It’s all about Communication”– An Intervention to Minimise Patient Perpetrated Aggression for Healthcare Support Workers: A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial
Background Workplace violence is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as it has become a significant problem within the healthcare sector. In New Zealand, much of the day-to-day care of people with challenging behaviours, disabilities and mental illness are provided by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in community based residential settings, often staffed by untrained healthcare support workers. A previous survey suggested the possibility of a direct relation between the communication style and approach that a caregiver uses in their work to the level of aggression experienced by them from patients. Staff training is often recommended as an essential part of any comprehensive approach for preventing and managing workplace violence, yet there is paucity of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of such interventions. Methods The thesis consists of two parts: a preliminary survey and a controlled trial. A web-based cross-sectional survey assessed the nature of violence experienced and safety and training measures available to healthcare staff working in mental health and older peoples’ services of district health boards, non-governmental organisations and aged care facilities across New Zealand. A two arm, cluster randomised, single blinded, controlled trial was conducted among unregistered healthcare support workers to evaluate the effect of an intervention (communication skills training) to reduce the experience of aggression for healthcare support workers compared to an active control condition of mindfulness. Both the intervention (communication skills) and control condition (mindfulness) were group-based, fully scripted, and structured training interventions that consisted of four once weekly workshops. Results From the survey, managers reported high rates of verbal aggression (97.01%) and assaults against staff within their services. Sixty-eight percent of respondents stated that an increase in assaults against staff was due to an increase in violent events, and 43.1% related this to increased staff awareness and reporting of violent events to management. Safety measures were more widely available and accessible within hospital settings while the community sector was found to mostly rely on police for assistance when violence occurs. For the RCT, there was a significant drop in the rate of aggression over time with a mean score and standard deviation of 10.37(9.169) at baseline dropping to 6.07(6.923) for the Perception of Patient Aggression Scale-New Zealand across both the intervention and control groups. Equivalent results were noted with increased psychological well-being and communication competence, and decreased distress with both interventions. This was sustained at a six-month follow-up. However, the between-groups effect did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups. Discussion The perception of violence is high in healthcare. Prevention and management training is provided in public hospitals and aged care settings, but not so much in NGOs. All areas of healthcare provision could benefit from increased evidence-based aggression prevention training programmes. The results of the RCT suggest that communication skills training intervention was effective at reducing perceived aggression, improving mental well-being, increasing communication competence and decreasing level of stress – but no better than the control condition of mindfulness.

It’s about living to the best of your ability and having the tools to cope with
difficult situations, especially during life’s challenges. Each person’s path

Hypnotic Approaches to Anxiety
Fear & Panic Attacks
Livingstone, CHt, CLC,
Clinical Hypnotherapist; Certified Life Coach; Mind Empowerment Coach
Anxiety is so prevalent in our world
today. Our lives go at a faster pace today society than it did
during our grandparent's day. Sure, we've benefited in many ways with
technology, economics, etc, which have helped us all lead better
lives. But on the downside, we have less personal interactions(just watch
teens on their Iphones and tablets), we have more 'things' to seemingly make
us happier, and we do not have the support of large familial or community
groups as was needed years ago in order to survive (psychologically and
There are many
situations that come up in everyday life in which it is totally appropriate
and reasonable to react with some anxiety. I call it
"good anxiety'. If you didn't feel any anxiety in
response to everyday life challenges involving potential loss or failure,
something would be wrong.
In my practise, a large percentage of
my clients have come to me regarding their issue with anxiety. It ranges
from general anxiety (GAD), social anxiety (also known as social phobia), panic
disorder (attacks), obsessive anxiety (OCD). I would say that the
percentage of clients that see me because anxiety is their main issue or in
part it is included in the cluster of issues within their scope of goals,
would be 75%.
I was searching the internet for
Canadian statistics on anxiety and it didn't surprise me that our numbers are
high. The Statistics Canada Community Health Survey
of Mental Health and Wellbeing has revealed that anxiety disorders are the most
common mental health problems in Canada. This recent survey
estimates that 1,040,000 Canadians (3.2%) have social anxiety disorder, 480,000
Canadians (1.5%) have panic disorder, and 227,000 Canadians (0.7%) have
agoraphobia. The percentages may seem low but look at the numbers.
I also cam across an article by E. J.
Bourne, a well known psychologist and researcher. He explains
that, "Anxiety disorders are distinguished from everyday
normal anxiety in that they involve anxiety that 1) is more intense
(for example panic attacks), 2) last longer (anxiety that may persist
for a months instead of going away after a stressful situation has passed), 3) leads
to phobias that interfere with your life.
Anxiety can be distinguish from fear in several
ways. When you are afraid, your fear is usually directed toward some concrete
external object or situation. The event that you fear is usually within the
bounds of possibility (not meeting a deadline, failing an exam, being rejected
by someone you want to please and so on). When you experience anxiety, on the
other hand, you often can't specify what it is you are anxious about.
The focus of anxiety is more internal than external. It seems to be a
response to a vague, distant or even unrecognized danger. Anxiety is a
physiological, behavioural, and psychological reaction all at once".
On a physiological level, anxiety causes many
body reactions such as rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, queasiness, dry mouth,
or sweating. On a behavioural level, it can sabotage your ability to
act, express yourself, or deal with certain everyday situations.
Psychologically, anxiety is a subjective state of apprehension and uneasiness.
In its most extreme form, it can cause you to feel detached from yourself and
even fearful of dying or going crazy. With panic attacks, you
can also experience chest pain which is often mistaken for a heart
Surprisingly, there isn’t much written about this
important subject in books about hypnosis. There are many hypnotherapists who won't
even touch the problems of anxiety and panic attacks. This is an important and
of anxiety and panic
Extreme anxiety and full-fledged panic attacks can be triggered by single
events or a series of events. They can arise out of ones own experience or from
the experience of others.
and panic can be triggered by accidents, illnesses or the deaths of friends or
family members--incidents that suddenly thrust people before their own contingency.
I still vividly recall the passing of one of my best friends. I looked at her as
she lay in hospice and saw myself; I knew that my own life would come to an end
one day. I was aware, suddenly, that there was no way I could be sure of just
long my life would be, or how it would end.
For some individuals, anxiety attacks have a
sudden onset and may leave as mysteriously as they began. In severe cases of
anxiety or panic--those that don′t go away—the
symptoms are apparent, while the true causes remain unknown. There appears to
be no particular incident or condition to cause the panic attacks; therefore,
the cause, hidden from the person, remains a threat because it is unresolved.
The fear response occurs when there is, seemingly, nothing to fear; in fact,
soon, ones panic is over the fear of the panic returning.
Some panic attacks are triggered by seemingly
innocuous incidents that are symbolic of some event or condition earlier in the
person's life.I had a client who is a long-distance truck
driver who became anxious and panicked whenever he had to travel a road

Although he quickly would catch himself and his conscious mind shrugged off
each incident of fear as unimportant, the subconscious imprint remained, leading to his
fear of falling off the edge. And it only got worst.
Regressing him to the root cause of his phobia, he recalled that as a 5 year old child,
he rode his bike too close to the side of the sidewalk, and fell onto the road.He wasn’t hurt but it terrified him.Once he was aware that his anxiety came from a
long-past incident, and the slip off the sidewalk was a trigger for his current
fear, once the event was reframed and he realized he was safe, it disappeared,
The Benefits of
Hypnotherapy is effective in helping people with either mild or severe cases of
anxiety. In mild cases, simple reprogramming with hypnotic suggestions can give
people relief.Hypnotic suggestions replace
catastrophic thoughts or over-anxiousness with truthful statements about the
nature of the symptoms and the realization that physical sensations can cause
no harm. Hypnosis can slow the heartbeat, create a sense of balance and
relaxation through deep breathing, free the throat to swallow, overcome
sensations of temperature changes and stomach upsets, and promote
Whether in the recent past or in the distant
past, some events leave negative psychological imprints. Often they are
forgotten or unrecognized for the detrimental effect they produce. Such
negative imprints can be left by traumatic incidents, or by minor events that
were misunderstood when they occurred. Hypnotic, or altered state, procedures
can unveil these causal events involved in the initial development or onset
of the problem. Regression Therapy
is one of the most beneficial techniques available to people who suffer anxiety
because it can be so effective in uncovering the cause. Hypnotic procedures using
age regression simply help the client to go back in their memory to the time
and place where a problem originated. In the case of anxiety or panic attacks, in childhood.
Oftentimes, a simple understanding of the
situation is all that’s needed to make a shift in perception. Sometimes,
however, hypnotic suggestions that alleviate a client′s presenting symptom or that change a long-term habit is
enough for the client to feel truly relieved. In other cases, additional
techniques may be needed to help release the hold that a long ago memory has on the
client. When suggestions to reframe events don′t bring about the desired results, it is as though a
rejection from deep within the subconscious self is giving signals that more
must be done. This is why regression to the cause is such an invaluable tool
for permanent healing of an issue.
you or someone you know is suffering from anxiety, panic or phobias, considering
hypnotherapy to overcome it is a really good option to help take back control.
Hypnotherapy can be a powerful ally in helping people to develop a sense of
power and confidence, in spite of the normal anxieties that are a normal part
of daily living.
Is it time to do the inner healing to have
what you really want in your life???
We're living in a very outcome-focused society, where all we seem to look at
is the end goal.
What I mean by this is, is that if we're in physical pain, we all want the
quick fix, the pill, the magic surgery, the thing that will make it all go
If we're struggling financially, we long for that winning lottery ticket,
that magical break-through that gives us the money we want.
Here's the problem with this approach, and a suggested solution:
If you're in pain, and you pop that little pill, and the physical pain goes
away, who are you? You're a person who now isn't in physical pain because
the pill took it away, but you're the same person, with the same emotional
experience, the same inner angst, the same demons.
If you're poor or struggling and you win the lottery, money is given to you
and you are now rich, but who are you? You're the same person, with
money, but with the same emotional experiences, inner angst and demons. (this
is a big part of the reason why, as I'm sure you know, most lottery winners
lose everything in a span of a few years.)
What's the option? The option is to do the deep inner work, to heal,
to let go, to become more conscious, to forgive others, to forgive yourself, to
release limiting beliefs, to connect to that deepest part of you that knows truth, that knows the essence of
who you are and your value in the world.
THEN the pain goes away...
THEN the money flows in...
THEN the relationships appear and not just with others but more importantly,
And who are you then? You're a person who isn't in physical pain,
you're a person who is wealthy by whatever definition you choose, you are
whatever that end goal you wanted...but with inner peace, clarity, and joy.
So the question is...do you REALLY want the white pill or the lottery
ticket? Or are you ready to do that deep inner work and to truly
deal with challenges in our lives.Maybe
you call it Chaos or Crisis or Drama.When we meet resistance, challenges and blocks in our lives, it may send
us tumbling into the dark abyss of the unknown.We may lose fingernails trying to catch a grip on the rocky walls of the
tunnel or just fall in a tailspin with nothing to grasp.
the fall may be exactly what we need in order to shake us out of our self-sabotaging
thoughts and actions.It may be the call
for leaving the security of what we know behind because it’s not helping us to
grow.Security is that which is
familiar, not necessarily pleasant.A crisis
can be a call to action, to trust ourselves even when the world is lobbing
lemons at us.
know that going to the “dark place” isn’t applauded in our society.Generally, people think we’re weak, crazy, or
unhinged if we do.But in truth, by
denying that part of ourselves, that Dark Space inside, we are denying our
whole selves!It’s like the movie, Pleasantville,
a town where nothing changes. The temperature and weather are always nice, and it
never rains. Sex is an unknown word, passion is outdated, and the most intimacy
anyone sees is when people touch hands. But we know that’s not reality.We need contrast in order to see the beauty
of life and the fullness of ourselves.By experiencing deep sadness, we can recognize great love when it
The dark part of us isn’t evil.It’s just the space that holds all the
untruths about us. And these ‘untruths’ were birthed from perceptions of our
childhood experiences based on what we saw outside ourselves such as angry looks,
hurtful words, and/or striking hands.We
thought and felt that we were bad, useless, helpless, rejected, abandoned when
these things happened.And they did
happen in some form or another. It made
us believe we weren’t worth of anything associated with love. But we didn’t
know any better.We didn’t have the
experience and knowledge to understand that no matter what happened to us, it
did not change us!So the dark
space is full of lies encrusted with pain, sadness and anger.
But here lies the power locked
inside us.The darkness offers up an
opportunity to change our paradigms, these patterns that repeat in our lives
day after day based on what is false.Denying the dark side of ourselves is what will weaken us, bend us, and
torture us.Going into it allows for
redefining our relationship with ourselves, to undo the beliefs that we formed
that had us believing we weren’t enough: smart enough, nice enough, capable
enough, tall enough, slim enough.ENOUGH
Our mind and body cries for
balance, to bring light to the dark with courage as our lantern.Yes, it does take courage to defy what we think
we know is our worth.But once we’ve
regained the truth of what and who we are, always worthy, always deserving,
always imperfectly perfect, we change the way we feel not only about ourselves
but about how we see ourselves in the world.And we then open up to the love that surrounds us in life as we now look
with our inner eyes, healed and much more whole.
The struggles you see in your outer world are simply a reflection of the struggles in your inner world. How is that possible?
Well, look at it this way. Have you ever woken up and immediately felt it was going to be a lousy day? Or have you looked out your window first thing in the morning to see that it's raining buckets and thought the same thing? How did your day end up? Did you forget your wallet at home? Did you end up in a fender-bender? Did you get into an argument with a work colleague, a friend or your partner that day? Maybe it wasn't so drastic but be honest, once you decided it wasn't going to be a good day, didn't it turn out to be a crappy day?
How does this happen? It's about energy and Quantum physics. Quantum physics proves that everything is made up of atoms, which are made up of particles called quanta. Quanta is energy vibrating at a certain frequency, which attract other quanta vibrating at the same frequency.
The particles that form everything, including our body (energy powers our body) and mind (thoughts with feeling) energy, are always vibrating so it's energy in motion.
Our thoughts are energy so they vibrate at a certain frequency and attract other thoughts (think "monkey-mind) or other energy that vibrate at the same vibration (getting into an argument with a co-worker). This is why there's the saying, "like attracts like".
It's like a reflecting mirror. You send out your vibrating energetic thought and what is reflected back to you is a like-energy. And depending on the vibration, positive or negative, of the thought you had and sent out, you'll attract the same energy back at you.
But you can choose to direct your thoughts in a certain way. The results of our thought don't manifest right away. They are compounded. It's having one positive or negative thought built upon by another positive or negative thought and the bigger the energy, the more you attract a like-minded energy. But sometimes the results of our thoughts are immediate.
Like attracts like so positive, compounded thoughts through repetition attract positive events and experiences into your life. They are reflected back to you.
You can begin to shift what you reflect by catching the thought. Ask yourself if it's a positive thought. If it isn't, dump it. Let it go. You can also just turn it around. Rather than, "It's going to be a lousy day" (because it's raining outside), think, "It's refreshing to have cleansing rain". It's the feeling behind the thought that will change the vibration. Imagine feeling content as you drive to work knowing the trees are being watered, or, for that matter, that you have clean water to drink because of the rain. You don't have to pull your car over, park, and start singing "Kumbaya". Just find the positive feeling that comes up for you and let that flow out from you.
Practise. The energy of thoughts gathers momentum, and more thoughts that are alike will come to your mind. You can do this to brainstorm, to put yourself in a positive frame of mind, or even to bring calm and optimism into your day.
Many people choose hypnotherapy
to change the way they experience themselves – their thoughts, feelings, habits
and actions. Often the causes of their discomfort are triggered by a past event
which is associating the feelings of the past with a current situation. These triggers can cause anything from severe
anxiety, insomnia, depression, addictions to weight gain.
Many people would agree, myself
included, that even when one is those heavy feelings, it isn’t always prolonged
because we can’t sustain a feeling forever.So we experience “manageable moments”. Our feelings are transitory; they flow from
one to the next in layers.
People look for all kinds of ways
to feel better but unfortunately, these may be really unhealthy.Some people turn to self medicating with
drugs and alcohol or unhealthy activities such as eating their emotions, smoking,
gambling, or even becoming anti-social.Hypnotherapy can help those who want to change from the inside out so as
to shift in their outlook, feelings and behaviour.
And we all as humans have ability
to, in the moment, use our imagination and senses to direct and generate
predictable and positive responses. So here are a few science-backed ways to
shift to a happier state in moments:
Eat a Clementine. The scent of this fruit is one of the most
positive and arousing things you can smell, according to a study conducted in
the journal Chemical Senses.I think they’re in grocery
stores now (http://chemse.oxfordjournals.org/content/30/suppl_1/i248.full)
Light a vanilla-scented candle. In the same Chemical Senses study,
participants ranked the smell of vanilla bean right up there with Clementine as
a super-uplifting scent that's even more relaxing.(http://chemse.oxfordjournals.org/content/30/suppl_1/i248.full)
Go out and do a “happy walk”. We don’t always realize that our
posture reflects how we feel.When you
are down, feeling overwhelmed, you likely round your shoulders inward and
stoop. So stand up straight, roll your shoulders back, and add a spring to your
step. Fake it till you make it because "happy walk" can actually make
you happier, according to a recent study (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0005791614000809)
Make your desktop or phone
background green. The calming color or green is associated with happiness, comfort, peace,
and hope.So bring some green inside.(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3743993/)
elevates stress levels, which it does for me.So organizing your workspace can be the perfect anecdote when you’re
feeling crappy. It “clears” the way for better vibes.Or...clean your house! (http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/trouble-in-paradise-new-ucla-book)
If you have a
beloved pet, have a lovin’ sit-in. Pets
just make you feel good, whether it’s a dog, cat, bird or exotic snake, depending on
your taste. Go and google puppies and if you’re human, it will bring a smile to
your face as well as some needed ‘warm and fuzzies’
I wake up and see blue skies, I’m instantly happier.And if I’m walking outside in fresh air, I
feel peaceful..calmer.You can find
those days, even in the world's worst mood in Vancouver in the Winter. When you
can't get outside, open the blinds or turn on some lights: In a study where
older adults suffering from depression were exposed to either one hour of pale
blue light or one hour of dim red light (the placebo) every morning for three
weeks, the blue light improved people's moods and reduced their stress more
than the dim red light, with results that lasted into the evening. White light
will do the trick too — the brighter, the better. (http://archpsyc.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=211002)
Think in the
your mind wander makes you substantially less happy than focusing on the task
at hand.You can get trapped in the ‘monkey
mind’.This is shown in a study by Matt
Killingsworth in which over 650,000 real-time reports from over 15,000 people were
collected by the Track Your Happiness iPhone app, which monitors people's
happiness in real time.
Mr. Killingsworth stated, “As it turns
out, there is a strong relationship between mind-wandering now and being
unhappy a short time later, consistent with the idea that mind-wandering is
causing people to be unhappy. In contrast, there’s no relationship between
being unhappy now and mind-wandering a short time later. Mind-wandering
precedes unhappiness but unhappiness does not precede mind-wandering. In other
words, mind-wandering seems likely to be a cause, and not merely a consequence,
Think quick. Research shows that quick, varied thinking can lead to feeling happy. In six
experiments, researchers at Princeton and Harvard universities made research
participants think quickly by either problem solving, reading or watching a
clip of I Love Lucy on fast forward.YIKES! The research showed that thinking fast led
to the participants feeling more ‘elated’ and “creative”
Learn Mindfulness Meditation.This involves quieting your mind and focusing it on one thought in the
moment, like your breathe or the beating of your heart.Observe without participating.Lots of benefits here.http://io9.gizmodo.com/how-meditation-changes-your-brain-and-makes-you-feel-b-470030863
Try these out!And if you need to go deeper to feel like
your best-self, give me a call.
Like engineers, we all draft and work from a blueprint, one that contains the history of all of our experiences all the way back to the womb. And within this blueprint is a series of expectations built from the foundation of our childhood bonding or disconnection with parental role models. No one escapes this.
Raised with secure loving patterns and expectations, we feel our own sense of worth in the world and we subconsciously expect the same in our adult relationships. We navigate our lives, which are filled with all types of relationships, in a state of ease vs. uneasiness.
When those patterns are stitched together with threads of criticism, fear and judgment, no matter how much or how little it is experienced in our early childhood, we sew these effects into our internal blueprint of self value.All infants are born with an instinctual sense to bond with their caregivers, even before there is thought to apply to the concept and words to attach the though. Infants look for queues about their value through their connections with Mom and Dad.This tie that binds children and parents leads the infant to experience pleasure, joy, and safely…or not. And these impressions form the blueprint we work from in what we expect from others we bond with or want to bond with.Our cup is either flowing or seriously lacking with self worth and this is the paint with which we colour our relationships.
What you expect tends to be realized and so many of us expect less than we deserve or expect more than it’s possible for anyone to give back. If we fed our own sense of self esteem we would be much happier because nothing outside ourselves can fill the void of self love. Self love is the ink that we use to redraft our blueprint. Self esteem is an appreciative opinion of oneself based on being accurately and honestly aware of our strengths, weaknesses and everything in between.It is realizing that no matter what we do or how much we measure ourselves against others achievements, physical attributes, status or material wealth, we will never be anything other than ourselves and that is imperfect.We are perfectly imperfect. And there lies our uniqueness in the face of billions of people.No one the same.No one exactly alike.And that allows for us to re-forge the blueprint of our lives with the knowledge that we are all on the same journey with different paths to follow, with unique strengths and creative abilities to bring to the world.No ego required.Just an appreciation for our distinctness and how irreplaceable we are.

How do you know if you have tapeworms?
Related articles: Symptoms of Parasites
by Neva J. Howell unless otherwise noted
Question on healing:
For several months, I have been seeing something that looks like cream colored sesame seeds in my stools. They seem to be increasing in quantity. I cannot tie this to any food I have eaten. What could this be?
Healing Facilitation Response:
I can only guess as to what this could be but just from the description, you may have a tapeworm. Little pieces of the worm break off all the time and some have said they looked a bit like sesame seeds. It could be another type of worm as well but I’d say you probably do have a parasite of some kind.
Assuming you have normal colon health other than that, you might consider a colon cleanse that includes parasite cleansing. If you have a cat or dog in the house or one that lives outside but sometimes comes in, you will need to worm them as well.
Typically, a person who has tapeworms gets them from undercooked meat or from pets who live inside or go in and out of the house.
A person can have tapeworms with no symptoms but some potential symptoms of having tapeworms include abdominal distress or pain, weight loss, fatique and either constipation or diarrhea.

The New Zealand wicketkeeper and opening batsman Brendon McCullum is still very much in doubt for today's vital fourth match in the Chappell-Hadlee one day cricket series in Adelaide.
McCullum is still sore after being struck on the shoulder by a sharply rising ball from pace bowler Kyle Mills during Sunday's game in Sydney, and he won't know until today the results of scans taken yesterday.
McCullum says while he's desperate to be part of a winning side, his decision will be influenced by the advice of his doctors. The Auckland wicketkeeper Gareth Hopkins is in Adelaide on standby.
Meanwhile there's a suggestion from the Australian camp that the Victorian pace bowler Peter Siddle, who has recovered from a foot injury, could be selected for his first one day international today, ahead of Ben Hilfenhaus.
New Zealand lead the 5-match series 2-1, and today's game starts at 4.15.

Tim Hecker is a name I’ve heard quite a bit over the last three or four years. Ever since I fell into the musical wormhole that is Oneohtrix Point Never I’ve taken quite a bit more notice of electronic artists. Hecker’s Virgins was an album I’d jumped into and found interesting but it never quite took. I’d found the darker sounds of The Haxan Cloak to be more to my liking, though Hecker’s work meandered in my subconscious. On a post-Christmas suicide mission/shopping trip to the state capital we stopped at one of my favorite record stores, Luna Music, and I perused the soundtracks and their most impressive electronic collection. They didn’t have Virgins, but they did have Hecker’s 2016 release Love Streams. I snagged it and we were off for dinner.
Love Streams, from what I’ve read, is decidedly a shift in Hecker’s usual style. From what I remember of his previous work the sound was kind of glitchy with dreamy patches of sound and texture. It was reminiscent of Daniel Lopatin’s work, though maybe more ghostly. Love Streams is unlike anything I’ve heard. Hecker’s mix of real instrumentation with digital corruption gives the impression that you’re hearing something that is slowly disappearing into the ether. His use of voices on this record is eerie and beautiful all at once. He enlisted the help of Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson to arrange the choral parts(if you’re not familiar with Johannsson, check out his amazing score for Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival.) The voices elevate the work into this almost heavenly perch, if Heaven could be psychedelic and woozy.
“Obsidian Counterpoint” opens the album with a feeling of liquid rushing through some peculiar tunnel. The splashes of sound give off this impression of light coming from some unknown place. “Music Of The Air” is dreamy and beautiful. There’s a sense of mystery that encapsulates this song. Hecker seems to be working in some other realm. The voices seem detached, like spirits pushing through to the other side. The buzzing and drone have a lulling effect. It’s like the peace of letting go. “Bijie Dream” feels like a continuation of “Music Of The Air”, though the end of some sort of emotional resolution. “Live Leak Instrumental” opens quietly before sounding as if you’ve come across some other world. “Violet Monumental I &II” are these beautiful collages of space-y sound. They’re really rather hard to describe.
I listen to an album like Love Streams and I’m amazed at how easily they draw me into their worlds. You feel as if you can float around inside an album like this and always find something new you didn’t notice last time. I’m also amazed at the process by which these songs are created. It’s not your typical songwriting. Where does one begin to create a song like “Up Red Bull Creek” or “Castrati Stack”? I thought that quite a bit when I first heard records like Oneohtrix Point Never’s R Plus Seven and The Haxan Cloak’s Excavation; as well as earlier records like Terry Riley’s A Rainbow In Curved Air and Morton Subotnick’s Silver Apples Of The Moon. They seem at first to be these random noise occurrences that somehow make sense together. But after repeated listens they reveal a very intentional evolution of sound, space, and emotion. Yes, despite the lack of some sort of lyrical narrative to tell you where to go and what to feel, these albums are rich with an emotional drive. What does that say of me? That as I’ve gotten older I connect far more viscerally and emotionally with a record like Love Streams, as opposed to Rubber Soul or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? I seem to be able to connect on a spiritual level with bleeps, blips, and swaths of dense synth more so than I do with the verse/chorus/verse scenario.
Maybe I’m a replicant.
Regardless, I’m just happy I can still connect to music in such a deep way. Whether it’s voices singing clearly “There are places I’ll remember/ All my life, though some have changed”, or if they’re detached and ghostly sounds digitally bathed, I’m feeling them and they’re moving me. Love Streams is operatic in scope and ethereal in sound. New age for androids. Do androids dream of electronic new age? I don’t know, but if they did and it existed it might sound like Love Streams.

In 1848 William and Ellen Craft made one of the most daring and remarkable escapes in the history of slavery in America. With fair-skinned Ellen in the guise of a white male planter and William posing as her servant, the Crafts traveled by rail and ship--in plain sight and relative luxury--from bondage in Macon, Georgia, to freedom first in Philadelphia, then Boston, and ultimately England.
This edition of their thrilling story is newly typeset from the original 1860 text. Eleven annotated supplementary readings, drawn from a variety of contemporary sources, help to place the Crafts’ story within the complex cultural currents of transatlantic abolitionism.
