WASHINGTON — The Board of Finance, meeting Monday, January 23, approved recommendations on how the town should use funds assigned to Washington from the American Rescue Plan Act.
The American Rescue Plan Act Fund Committee evaluated several requests and ideas for how to use the federal dollars to recommend $10,000 to address addiction treatment and counseling, a $5,000 grant for ASAP, $30,000 to improve broadband access, $75,000 for stormwater projects to be performed by the Housatonic Valley Association, $18,250 Judy Black Memorial Park and Garden, $7,000 to the Washington Housing Commission, $85,000 to the Housing Trust, $8,800 for the Washington Business Association and $10,000 Washington Friends of Music.
The Board of Selectmen agreed with these suggestions during its meeting on Thursday, January 19, which add up to $164,050.
Of the approximately $1 million assigned to the town, the town has approximately a half million left to spend.
There are additional recommendations from the American Rescue Plan Act Fund Committee yet to be considered by the selectmen. All funds must be distributed by 2024.
In his report to the board, First Selectman Jim Brinton said the town is reaching out to department heads to gather information and build the budget.
“Knock wood, it’s been a mild winter,” he commented, noting that there have been savings in the areas of materials, including sand and salt and overtime.
He explained that the Capital Improvement Plan must be in place to enable the town to apply for grants and consider future expenses.
The plan is informed by several factors, including the goal of replacing fire apparatus on a 30-year cycle and public works equipment on a 20-year cycle.
Costs for police vehicles is born by the town, but Mr. Brinton would like to renegotiate the resource vehicle to obtain funding from the school district.
The CIP has remained largely the same as the previous plan.
Following the overview, the finance board unanimously approved the CIP, which will now go to a town meeting for consideration by voters.
As the board reviewed the finance report, members learned that the police have updated weaponry and that has resulted in the need to replace ammunition.
Linda Gomez added that there will be new software to comply with police accountability as a state requirement at a cost of $4,000.
Pointing out that Washington uses the resident trooper program, which already complies with the accountability requirements, Mr. Brinton said it is redundant to ask small towns like Washington and Warren to take on responsibility for the software as if they were a larger municipality with its own police force.

Compact between Spain and Portugal, signed by the Catholic Sovereigns at Madrid, May 7, 1495.
The rulers of Spain and Portugal did not put into effect the provision of the treaty of Tordesillas1 for despatching caravels within ten months in order to determine the line of demarcation. On May 7, 1495, the Spanish monarchs signed an agreement that during the following September commissioners should assemble on the frontier of the two kingdoms to decide upon the method of fixing the line; that upon notification by either party, the other party must cause the said line to be determined in accordance with the method approved by the commissioners; that the departure of the caravels should be postponed, and orders given to place the line on all hydrographical maps made in either kingdom.
The main stipulations of this compact were not carried out. Apparently it was not until 1512 that either monarch planned an expedition to determine the line.2 The earliest of existing maps on which the line of demarcation appears, is the Cantino map, of 1502. On the Munich-Portuguese map of 1519, and on the Weimar-Spanish ( 1527) and Ribero ( 1529) maps, this line does duty also as the prime meridian.3
Text: MS. The original manuscript of the compact signed by Ferdinand and Isabella at Madrid on May 7, 1495, is in the National Archives at Lisbon, gav. 10, maço 5, no. 4. A manuscript nearly identical but dated April 15, and lacking the royal signatures, which have been cut out, is in the Archives of the Indies, at Seville, Patronato 2-1-1/18, no. 8.
Text: Printed. The text of the manuscript dated April 15 is in Navarrete, Coleccion de Viages ( 1825- 1837), tom. II., no. 91, pp. 170-173.
Translation. A translation of the text as printed in Navarrete is in Blair and Robertson, Philippine Islands ( 1903- 1909), I. 131-135.

Grown-ish is one of the newest additions to Freeform and is currently on its first season and has quickly been added to my list of shows to watch. Grown-ish is a spin-off of Black-ish and no you do not need to have watched Black-ish to enjoy Grown-ish.
This show follows the Johnson’s oldest daughter Zoey played by Yara Shahidi as she begins her “adult” life in college. She basically goes through struggles that many students might face in college i.e dating, friendships, drugs, internships, etc.
But here’s why we love this show and can’t get enough!
Zoey is one fashionable girl, her outfits are so cute and she’s an intern at Teen Vogue!
2. The Slang
I have learned so much while watching this show. I thought I was caught up with my slang but clearly I was wrong!
3. The Diverse Cast
Many people in Hollywood have been talking about diversifying shows and basically wanting to see all types of people. And Grown-ish is one of the shows that’s doing just that.
4. It’s so FUNNY!
Watching Zoey go through all these college dramas are hilarious because so many are them are relatable. Like being social media addicted, or dating two guys at the same time? It happens!
5. We want to know if Zoey will eve get her happy ending?
Will she find true love and dominate the fashion world? We’ll have to wait and see!
What do you think about Grown-ish let us know in the comments below!

I never get tired of opening the boxes that come into the shop. I order so much fabric from lots and lots of vendors, and it usually take anywhere from one to six months to get her. Many times I just see art work. Not the actual fabric. So when I open the boxes and see the fabric it is always a surprise. Every once in a while a not so good surprise. It's just not what I imagined it would look like on Fabric. But other times .......... WOW!!! These two fabrics are from Camelot Cottons. So far, I have always done the WOW with them.
I love this line of fabric!!! Bigger than real flowers and the colors are to dye for! Donna is teaching a "Fractured" class. (It is really cool!) I'll have to show these to her and see if it will work. Stay tuned for pictures if she likes it!

Are you planning to be in or around Los Angeles in mid-April, 2022? If you are, or you’ll be visiting sometime soon, you may want to check out the Petersen Automotive Museum’s new exhibit. Titled Electric Revolutionaries, the brand-new exhibition officially opens to the public on April 14, 2022. While the title seems quite broad, it’s all about electric motorbikes.
Featured bikes include Eva Hakansson’s KillaJoule sidecar streamliner, as well as teenage scrap builder Samuel Aboagye’s Solar Scooter and Solar Rickshaw. Joey Ruiter’s NOMOTO will also be available to see—or not. The exhibition will also showcase the global debut of Curtiss Motors’ The One.
Electric Revolutionaries is curated by none other than Motor/Cycle Arts Foundation co-founder Paul d’Orleans (who many motorcycle enthusiasts on the Internet might also recognize from the Vintagent). In total, over 25 exciting electric motorbike creations will be on display, representing a wide range of ideas that show us where we are, where we’re going, and where we’ve been.
"I'm super excited to assemble this wildly diverse collection of EV pioneers. Electric Revolutionaries really does represent the range of interest in an electric future, from a humble teen in Ghana making EVs from scrap, to genius artisans building conceptual and boundary-pushing designs, to speed demons and global superstar designers interested in pushing mobility into the green zone," d’Orleans said in a statement.
The new Electric Revolutionaries exhibit is a companion piece to Petersen’s previous electric motorcycle exhibit from 2019, Electric Revolution. While bookending a global pandemic was obviously not intentional, perhaps it’s a fitting illustration that continued progress and new ways of thinking just won’t be stopped.
"It is incredible how far electric motorcycles have come in the short time from our first exhibit in 2019," Petersen Automotive Museum executive director Terry L. Karges said in a statement. "This new display gives a unique and close-up look at the innovative machines and the creators behind them pushing the boundaries of motorcycle electrification and design. The detail, level of craftsmanship and unorthodox thinking behind these electric motorcycles make them must-sees."

Well, we can’t get away from the basic truth that things are always changing.
Sure, some things remain the same, and this change is very limited.
It’s within certain patterns, and it’s not just every day is completely different and complete chaos.
But at the same time, we have something new with every day.
Something has changed with every, day, and it’s never going to be just like it was yesterday.
So this thought can be comforting if we’re having a bad day.
You can remember that tomorrow is going to be not exactly the same.
Of course, it could be even worse, or it could just be bad in some other way, but it’s not going to be exactly the same.
But same when we are having a good day, things are going well, things feel good, we can also kind of remember that it’s not going to be exactly like this tomorrow.
So I find that when it comes to my mindset, it’s always changing like this.
It’s always shifting.
There’s always some kind of movement in my mind, that I get to a good state of mind and I can’t stay there.
I’m trying to do things better, have better management of my time, of my mind, my emotions, my body, having everything nicely managed and trying to do things right.
And so I can get into this little bit of a pattern, where things seem to be going well, but inevitably, that will always start to fade, always start to bend away.
There’s always something that will take me away from that feeling of contentment and satisfaction and the feeling of being on the right track, and then I can feel stress building up, some kind of frustrations below the surface.
Even when there’s nothing that I can say is obviously wrong, just there’s a buildup of stress, buildup of tension somehow, and then eventually leads me away from the good mindset.
I start to get into some kind of negative mindset, where I lose that feeling of being happy in what I’m doing, lose the feeling of being focused on good things, move from that focus on the good to the focus on bad things.
It gets into a grumbly state of mind, where I regret things and wish things were different.
And even when I know it’s not a good way to think about things, it just seems like we’re constantly eroding in some way.
We can never maintain this kind of perfect golden mindset, at least as far as I know.
So no matter what we do, it seems, we’re always going to be falling down, we’re always going to be falling short, we’re always going to be making mistakes, stumbling, failing, and losing the good mindset.
It’s just always going to keep coming back.
And I think sometimes this can be very frustrating, of course, if we kind of expect to be able to settle into a wonderful mindset.
We just kind of learn good ways to think and better ways to interpret, things that happen to us and interpret our own sensations and our own mind, and then it’s easy to just think, well, why can’t I just feel that way all the time? Like now that I get it, why can’t I just be happy and satisfied? But it never stays the same.
It never settles in into this golden state.
So it seems like part of what self-development is about, and a big part of it, is recovering.
We have to recover a good mindset.
It’s not about just achieving a good mindset and then you just stay there forever.
It’s like “Oh, yeah, I figured out the equation of the universe.
I figured out the formula, the right way to act, and now I’m good to go.” Instead we can kind of get hints of it, we can get it for a while, we can go on rolls and have patterns of improvement, but we’re always backsliding, we’re always falling, and we always have to just keep getting back on it.
And there’s something about that moment that really captures I think what self-development is really about, That’s the moment when it really matters, is when we can recover.
We can we can see how we’re going off, and then we correct the course.
It’s all about recovering.
When we start to fall into a bad mindset, we recover back into a good mindset.
No matter we could be mostly in a bad mindset, we occasionally get that glimpse of a good state of mind, and then fall out again, and then we go back.
Or we could be in mostly a good mindset and then sometimes fall away.
But really, where the tools come in, where the challenge comes in, and where the focus comes in is in that recovery, in bending ourselves back into a good mindset.
So I find it helpful to think about it this way.
Just to get out of that state of mind of trying to achieve a permanent, perfect, permanently good mindset.
Don’t worry about achieving a permanently good mindset, but instead be ready to constantly pick things back up, constantly recover, constantly get up from the stumble and go at it again.

At what dosage does clen become catabolic?
I think that I heard someone here once state that clen can become catabolic at a high dosage. Does anyone know at what dosage clen becomes catabolic?

As for clen becoming catabolic at high dosages(assuming you're shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds at that point)....I personally feel the catabolism would be attributed to the diet, or lack thereof due to not eating....I find it hard to eat on high dosages of clen and generally stick to DNP for fat loss....But again....That is me...

clen should not become catabolic. your diet and cardio will. take in as much protien as possible when on clen. especially when taking up to 7 tabs/day!!
04-10-2002, 01:38 PM #7
there is a lot of scientific evidence stating that clen can become very catabolic at high doses. the studies all mentioned blood concentration of clen, so i don't know how to convert that into how much was given orally.
the mechanism this happens through is calcium ion channel permeability. clen causes these ion channels within the muscles to become very permeable to calcium. when this happens, it also causes a lot of leakage of enzymes called proteases and calpains. these enzymes eat away at protein rapidly. this is the reason why clen isn't more anabolic and why at high doses clen can be catabolic. you can take calcium ion channel blockers like dantrolene to suppress the effect and in effect make clen a very anabolic agent, but the problem with all calcium ion channel blockers is that they make you very sleepy and you need to take them at the precise moment that the clen would make the ion channels very permeable, which is right after a workout. this means you would need to take these blockers about an hour before the workout and risk getting extremely tired at the end of your workout when these suckers kick in. it would be effective in principle, but i am skeptical about its effectiveness in practice.

The Crimson Sword
Book One of the Legend of Asahiel (The Legend of Asahiel Series #1)
The Age of Man has begun. The "undesirable" creatures of legend have been driven from their lands, magic has been forsaken, the old gods reduced to myth.Now humans will rule the kingdoms of the island continent of Pentania. But they are not alone.
Alson's king has been assassinated, its capital besieged by a malevolent wizard. The chaos and terror now sweeping the land have come to the remote village of Diln -- sending young Jarom far from his home to seek aid against the nefarious usurper. But a mysterious council has decreed Jarom must find one of the mythical Swords of Asahiel -- the divine talismans the elven avatars used to forge the earth -- in order to save a quarrelsome, fledgling humanity. For a Demon Queen has awakened from the abyss -- and humankind is about to discover its powerlessness in the face of the ancient terrors of the world.

July 4, 2014
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
On Moves to Scrap MGNREGA
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly protests against any move to scrap or weaken the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). It is reported in the press that the Rajasthan Chief Minister has made a proposal to extinguish the legal guarantee under the Act and convert it into a scheme. A party which promised job creation during its election campaign is now suggesting the elimination of the only legal guarantee for creation of jobs, namely MGNREGA. The last years of the UPA government had also seen MGNREGA become a hostage to fiscal considerations and funds were severely cut.
The Polit Bureau demands strengthening of the Act, measures to ensure a minimum of hundred days work and to protect the rights of the intended beneficiaries by ensuring implementation of all the clauses pertaining to wage payment, compensation for delayed payment and also unemployment allowance and to make available funds to pay the arrears with immediate effect.

By Laura DeLuca
I think we can all agree that this semester is extraordinarily challenging. Between COVID-19 and the upcoming election, it feels like we are all surviving 10 simultaneous apocalypses. On top of all of that, midterms are quickly approaching. Here are 5 new tracks ranging from rap to R&B to get you through it.
- “Siri” — Lil Wayne
Anyone who knows me would not be surprised that a recent drop by Lil Wayne would be my #1 pick. Lil Wayne dropped Tha Carter 5 (Deluxe) on September 25, 2020. This was one of the bonus tracks. Per usual, there is a clear, entertaining (and undeniably humorous) storyline here, where Lil Wayne accuses Siri of trying to seduce him: “Cause I can’t trust my iPhone, I can’t trust my SIM card / I got Siri talkin’ dirty to me.” He later incessantly accuses Siri of being “the feds” — although this is funny, I think we can all agree based on the near-universal experience of having Instagram and Facebook ads show us things we were just talking about that there is some sort of truth to this.
Although the topic is undeniably absurd, Lil Wayne is quite clever in his diction: “Haters praying for my downfall, at least they’re religious.” This is my FAVORITE line, praising his haters for implying that they are religious. If you appreciate lyrics that are simultaneously clever and hilarious, I recommend this song.
- “RIP Luv” — 21 Savage
I know what you’re thinking: “21 Savage, really? He’s trash.” He may be trash. But I love his trash. Don’t let this choice deter you from this playlist. I promise, it’s worth sticking around for. This isn’t my favorite 21 Savage song, but it is certainly catchy. He released SAVAGE MODE II with Metro Boomin on October 2nd.
The chorus is to a chill, slow beat as he expresses his disillusionment with regard to romance: “Rest in peace to love, I gave up a long time ago / Hard times, everybody left, I’m the one you counted on / My shoulder took a lot of tears, woulda swore it was a fountain on / I be cryin’ on the inside and smilin’ when the cameras on.” Although his other “trap” songs may have some awful, repetitive lyrics, I find his somber songs to be relaxing and enjoyable. Not to mention, Morgan Freeman is featured as the outro: “Truly genuine love never really dies / But lust, infatuation, and unrevealed attraction are all things that over time rarely survive.” Simply iconic.
- “Oshun” — Spillage Village, EARTHGANG, and 6LACK ft. Jurdan Bryant
On September 25, Spilligion was dropped by Spillage Village, JID, and EARTHGANG. This song is chill and catchy, separating rap verses with a catchy, singsongy chorus. This song is a clever meshing of rap and R&B elements.
Verse 2 by Doctur Dot has some lyrics I particularly enjoy: “I just hope you never leave me hopeless / People talkin’ gossip, slander, tryna hurt your reputation / What they say don’t matter, they don’t know us.” I think there’s something nice about the sentiment being conveyed: at the end of the day, if you are happy with your partner, that is all that matters, because no one knows your relationship better than you do. My favorite line in this song comes later, in verse 3 as sung by Jurdan Bryant: “This how it s’posed to be, I think my soul agree / She make my soul eclipse.” It’s definitely refreshing to have some poetic elements incorporated into a rap song; the idea that a woman eclipses his soul in a way that feels just right is a very profound idea, perhaps suggesting that she takes over his earthly desires and betters him as a man.
- “Stuck on You” — Giveon
Here’s another one for my R&B fans. Giveon just dropped an EP, When it’s All Said and Done on October 2nd. This song is poignant, with profound lyrics and a beautiful piano progression in the background.
My favorite piece of the chorus has to be: “It took some time but I realized / You do me wrong, but it feels right.” I think we’ve all been in toxic relationships and situations in which you know in your heart that the circumstances shouldn’t be happening, even if you are willing to suffer for someone else. He conveys this beautifully.
- “Things Change” — Bryson Tiller
Finally, Bryson Tiller released ANNIVERSARY on October 2nd, on the 5th anniversary of his album TRAP SOUL. “Things Change” is one of the more catchy, upbeat R&B songs on this album.
Tiller ends the song with the line: “But you ain’t slowin’ me down either way” which is such a powerful statement, refusing to let a tumultuous relationship with a woman take over his emotions and hold him back from success in life. If you’re looking for some new R&B, I highly recommend this song.
Ultimately, wherever you are, I hope you’re enduring the apocalypses and surviving midterms as best as you can. I hope the undeniable wit of Lil Wayne (don’t fight me on this), the iconic trash that is the music of 21 Savage (I’ll admit it, it’s trash), the catchy tunes of Spillage Village, JID, and EARTHGANG, the soothing voice of Giveon, and the chill melodies of Bryson Tiller help you get through this insane time in history (and stressful time in school).

13 Yr Old WHITE Girl Raped & Murdered By A Black Animal, BBB, black on white crime, BLACK PANTHERS, california, current events, MURDER, politics, racism against white people, RACIST, rape, S.F., the color of crime, tnb, white person, white-genocide
If this was in reverse, it would be on the national news for the next 2 weeks. We would hear how conservative American’s guns need to be taken. The Obama regime would be on the TV 24/7, demanding our rights be infringed upon & the Black Panthers would have posters saying; “Kill Whitey”.
Even though the white population is only 28% in California, it’s still a one-way street. It’s not racism when a black savage does this to a white person. It’s only racism when the KKK comes out of hiding every 10 years to ‘kill themselves a nigger,’ Or when Republicans hold a Tea-party and dissent against Obama’s policies.

Warsaw, Poland – On day four of our week-long trip to Poland, my colleague and I boarded a crowded city bus. Looking around at the other passengers, we wondered how many might be recent arrivals from Ukraine.
Within the first 30 days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Warsaw’s population grew by 15 percent, according to the Union of Polish Metropolises. Rzeszów, a city close to the Ukrainian border where our Creative Associate International colleagues were visiting, had doubled in size during the same time.
As part of Creative’s overall efforts to understand the situation in Ukraine, the Center for Migration and Economic Stabilization focused on Ukrainians forcibly displaced due to the war. When the Center first surveyed Ukrainian refugees in April, most data collection efforts focused on humanitarian needs. Creative decided to take a longer view, aligning with recent calls from the World Bank and the United Nations to integrate development approaches early on in supporting displaced populations. Our study delved into Ukrainians’ financial security and livelihoods while living outside Ukraine.
During our June trip to Poland, we learned that the International Rescue Committee and Mercy Corps were turning their attention toward supporting people’s ability to find jobs in Poland. Their pivot aligned with Creative’s findings. Sixty-five percent of Ukrainians we surveyed in April were seeking to work abroad to sustain their livelihoods. Because of our first survey’s findings, we were able to share that language barriers were primary obstacles for finding work among our study participants.
Yet, as families struggle to navigate displacement from their homes, outside income supports, such as conditional cash transfers, are becoming even more critical. The Center’s follow-up survey in June revealed that a greater percentage of families relied on cash transfers to meet their basic needs than in April. These results contrast with a troubling theme that emerged in our meetings with international non-governmental organizations in Warsaw. Cash transfers to Ukrainians were expensive relative to other international contexts because of cost of living in Poland, and it was unclear how to sustain them.
As of July, the Polish government’s housing and transportation subsidies have expired, making living in Poland more expensive for Ukrainians. Adding to this, Ukrainians looking to move out of the private homes where they have been hosted by Polish families face higher rents and limited supply in city rental markets. One group we talked to, CoopTechHub, is taking an innovative approach to addressing this issue; they are working with local governments to promote relocation, services and job opportunities in smaller towns. CoopTechHub’s programming is for all residents in Poland, but they expect Ukrainian refugees will especially benefit.
In early March, when we were considering face-to-face interviews with Ukrainian refugees, our Polish colleagues described unprecedented numbers of Ukrainian families arriving at train and bus stations. The rate of Ukrainians fleeing has slowed down since then, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Nevertheless, more than a million Ukrainians with temporary protected status live in Poland. The sheer number of refugees’ living and working in Poland is liable to stir feelings of concern among the populace. Without proactive efforts to address narratives of economic competition and resource scarcity, the potential for Russia’s weaponizing the Ukrainian refugee crisis to destabilize Polish society is substantial.
Poland is now one of the top refugee-hosting countries in the world. At the university conference we joined in Warsaw, attendees highlighted shared values and people’s historic mobility between Ukraine and Poland as important facilitators for the continued support of Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Feelings of solidarity notwithstanding, it remains an open question as to how Poland will navigate Ukrainians’ integration in a way that most benefits the country economically and socially. Perhaps there are lessons Polish leaders can take from other host countries, such as Colombia’s pragmatic approach to framing a national narrative of Venezuelans’ integration.
To be sure, Ukrainians are already returning home. In our July design sessions for the Center’s third study of Ukrainians in Ukraine, our Ukrainian colleagues who had fled in February called in from their homes in Kyiv. That said, the war’s uncertainties engender uncertainties of Ukrainians’ return. In the meantime, refugees’ pursuit of housing and work in Poland will generate friction, and national narratives circumscribe available policy options to best address the situation at hand.
Mariellen Jewers, Ph.D., is the Technical Advisor to the Center for Migration and Economic Stabilization in 2021. Working under the auspice of Creative’s Office of Innovation, the Center drives expertise in the intersections of migration and economic growth, asset building and social inclusion.

I don’t know if his apology was phony or not – and don’t care.
As far as I am concerned the bigger – and better – message was Major League Soccer’s zero tolerance for homophobic and other inappropriate behavior and the importance they place on respect for everyone.
Marc Burch received a 3 game suspension and was heavily fined. Some MLS players have had on field physical altercations with other players and were not punished as severely. Even better, a while back, another knucklehead player called a ball boy the “f” word and his punishment was similar.
I love soccer, watch it all the time and could not be happier about the MLS and their view that people be treated with dignity and respect.

Bumble functions much like programs like Tinder, where users swipe left or close to preferences. But Bumble merely enables ladies to begin a discussion or get in touch with.

Wolfe Herd going Bumble partly at the urging of Russian-British billionaire Andrey Andreev the guy started Badoo in 2006 and reinforced Bumble in 2014. During the time, Andreev ended up being the creator of MagicLab, the parent associated with the providers of Badoo and Bumble that was afterwards renamed Bumble. The business enjoys since grown to hundreds of worldwide employees.
Emerald Gunst, President for the Austin innovation Council, said Bumble has experienced an impact beyond that of additional dating programs.

I found myself seeing just how citizens were adapting to they and how they certainly were following it. Now I’m witnessing these folks age later on, and they are settling straight down, they can be engaged and getting married, they can be nonetheless deploying it to obtain company. They can be using it to construct companies relationships with others that happen to be local within Austin.»

In hypnotherapeutic practices, we often meet people who have usually been treated exclusively based on a symptom-oriented diagnostic.
In our view, however, a holistic view of the pain is necessary. We see the body and soul as one unit. Our job is to find and, if necessary, heal any emotional causes that contribute to the pain and have the power to increase it.
Hypnotherapy and pain
Modern hypnotherapy can often provide patients suffering from pain with essential and useful tools for both detecting the emotional causes of pain and con In the state of hypnotic trance, it is possible to reduce the patients’ sensibility significantly to pain or even eliminate it.
Before the introduction of chloroform and ether, hypnosis was used to induce anesthesia. More and more dentists are using this analgesic effect of hypnosis in their practice.
Hypnosis can clearly and sustainably influence chronic pain!
How exactly does hypnosis work in chronic pain?
Recent scientific studies have shown that in many areas, hypnosis can be even more effective than the most potent drugs available.
For example, there is an instance where severe pain conditions are no longer responsive to massive anesthetics can be successfully treated in hypnosis. In contrast to all medications, the use of hypnosis is entirely free of side effects, which can additionally promote your healing considerably.
Pain does not always have to be physical. Our psyche has an often-underrated impact on our health. You might be surprised to know that stress can be the reason behind a huge variety of complaints.
Emotions are not tangible. Therefore, emotional pain is severe for most people to understand. But they are there.
If the doctor tells you that there are no obvious physical causes for your pain, this does not mean that you imagine this pain.
Pain is real and is triggered often by suppressed emotions, stress, excitement, and other emotions.
Chronic pain affects the quality of life of countless people
The path of suffering often begins with acute pain due to an injury or illness. Over time this pain develops into chronic pain, which persists even after the causative tissue damage is gone – the pain has become an independent disease.
Chronic pain is often accompanied by other discomforts such as sleep disorders, poor appetite, increased irritability, and depressive moods. Also, they can signify severe restrictions in your everyday life, work, and leisure life.
Chronic pain is always subject to physical, psychological and social influences.
Therapy of chronic pain
People with chronic pain need an appropriate level of therapy motivation to achieve a profound and lasting solution to the pain problem.
With the hypnotherapy, we offer chronic pain patients a highly effective techniques to control this pain so that their emotional and physical health improves rapidly.
Biodynamic hypnosis offers patients in pain a wide variety of treatment approaches:
- With the help of the highly effective mindfulness self-hypnosis, you can influence the pain independently at any time.
- Deep physical and mental relaxation during the hypnotic trance can effectively and naturally promote recovery of the body and soul.
- Unconscious and physical self-healing potentials can be (re) activated, promoting sustainable improvements on the immune system, the vegetative functions, and metabolism.
- Energy therapy can harmonize the energy flow and thus help in solving blockages.
- Conflict-resolving hypnotherapeutic interventions can relieve the soul and, thus, the organism.
- Often emotions and self-punishment tendencies can be effectively dealt with.
How certain is a therapeutic success?
Unfortunately, we are not magicians, and hypnosis does not provide a miracle cure. A lasting improvement in the quality of life depends on various factors:
- The complexity and duration of the existent problem,
- The readiness of the client to let go of his/her problem
- As well as the willingness to actively participate.
Biodynamic hypnosis is a helpful tool and can lead to sustainable change.
For what type of pain is biodynamic hypnosis suitable?
We assume that you -as a patient suffering from pain- are under medical treatment. No matter what your diagnosis is, biodynamic hypnosis can help you sustainably.
Your treatment for chronic pain
• 3 to 6 sessions
• Session length: 2 or 3 hours
Hypnotic intensive sessions for test anxiety. Those include:
o Free telephone support
o Minimum one hypnosis CD/Stick for relaxation
• Regression and analytic-conversational hypnosis,
• Work with part-personalities,
• Healing of the inner child,
• MEFT (Mindful Emotional Freedom Therapy),
• NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming),
• Energy therapy – are used depending on the problem.
o Mindful self-hypnosis, which is a highly effective self-hypnosis technique for physical and mental self-influencing results.
You can find additional information regarding methods of biodynamic hypnosis HERE. Please also note the paragraph about contraindications. Any questions? Give us a call or arrange a ½ hour free appointment.
§§§ We are not doctors, do not make any medical diagnoses, administer or prescribe any medications, and we do not give any promises of healing. Our work as a hypnotherapist (state-approved for psychotherapy/health insurance) cannot replace a visit to a doctor. The therapists can decide in individual cases whether to accept or reject a treatment.

Pretty obvious that the dike came after the rocks it cuts through, right? With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years. Based on the Rule of Superposition, certain organisms clearly lived before others, during certain geologic times. The narrower a range of time that an animal lived, the better it is as an index of a specific time.
- dating doctors and lawyers;
- k-ar radiometric dating?
- Pre/Post-Test Key!
No bones about it, fossils are important age markers. But the most accurate forms of absolute age dating are radiometric methods. This method works because some unstable radioactive isotopes of some elements decay at a known rate into daughter products. This rate of decay is called a half-life. Half-life simply means the amount of time it takes for half of a remaining particular isotope to decay to a daughter product.
Good discussion from the US Geological Survey: So geochronolgists just measure the ratio of the remaining parent atom to the amount of daughter and voila, they know how long the molecule has been hanging out decaying. There are a couple catches, of course.
Not all rocks have radioactive elements. Sedimentary rocks in particular are notoriously radioactive-free zones. So to date those, geologists look for layers like volcanic ash that might be sandwiched between the sedimentary layers, and that tend to have radioactive elements. You might have noticed that many of the oldest age dates come from a mineral called zircon. Each radioactive isotope works best for particular applications.
So I can say the second layer is younger than the first and older than the third but I have no idea whether the cake is 5 minutes or 5 million years old. Relative dating is used commonly when looking at the relative order of geological events.
Geologic Age Dating Explained
What can complicate relative dating is when the strata is not the right way up! Sometimes beds of rock can turn over the other way, so be very cautious when relatively dating rocks! What is the difference between absolute age and relative age of fossils? One has an explicit date and the other is relative. Related questions What is the principle of Uniformitarianism and how is it important to the relative dating of rocks?

I remember a short poem from my youth that went something like this:
“Spring has sprung
Fall has fell
Now it’s winter…”
I choose to forgo the last stanza. I can, however, tell you for certain that fall has, indeed, fell. A cold front breezed through last week. One day the thermometer registered 94 degrees and the next day it topped out in the mid-70s. Suddenly it felt like fall. Officially, fall began on Sept. 22. This year it seems things are right on schedule.
Fall has a way of announcing its arrival like no other season. Its signs are more subtle than even the coming of the spring. Sometimes I sense its coming in a slight change in the air. At other times I hear a different sound when the wind stirs the leaves on the trees. And then, there are the birds. They begin to gather, in small groups at first. Then their numbers begin to grow. I always smile at the first hints of fall.
Fall’s arrival always floods my mind with boyhood memories. Having had the privilege of growing up on a working farm, I consider it to be one of my greatest assets. Harvest time was especially meaningful to me. There is something magical about harvest time. You might call it the payoff – a time when you savor the fruit of your labor.
The smells and the colors and the feelings experienced in falls of the past revisit me each year. It borders on intoxicating.
Once again I smell the feed barn filled to the tin roof with summer hay, and I gaze on cornfields turning a color that can only speak of harvest time. And I seek out tobacco barns, where the smell of leaves curing golden fills the fall air.
Gathering corn was one of my favorite jobs in the fall. That’s because, in doing so, I got to drive the farm tractor. A cornfield provides a wonderful setting for a boy to learn to drive. There is not a lot you can tear up in a cornfield. Besides, pulling a wagon forward calls for the lowest gear.
My job was picking up the down (downed) row. Before we started through the field gathering corn, my father had pulled the down row, that being the two rows of corn that the tractor and wagon would run over. As he pulled the corn from the stalks, he pitched it in small piles in the center of the two rows being pulled. When the tractor and wagon moved through the corn field, the two rows of corn would be “downed” but the piles of corn would be straddled by the tractor and wagon.
My father and our neighbor, Thomas Denton, gathered four rows on each side of the wagon as we passed through the cornfield. I kept the tractor pulled up and the down row picked up. One trip through the cornfield netted 10 rows of corn gathered.
I remember years when my father planted pumpkins right along with the corn. One cornfield we called the spring bottom was filled with pumpkins. When we turned the hogs in to clean up the corn, you have never seen such a sight. Of course, we had to bust (burst) the pumpkins so the hogs could eat them.
Now that is a contented sight: a hog, his mouth stained pumpkin orange, munching on fresh pumpkin.
In some years we unloaded the first wagonload of ear corn right over into the hog lot. Talk about a pile of corn! That’s another sight to behold: a bunch of hogs standing on their heads trying to eat their way to the bottom of a pile of corn. I know the smell of hogs is legendary, but the smell of hogs eating a pile of corn out in an open lot is unique to the farm and the fall. I’ll use that word again – intoxicating!
As I grew older my younger brothers took their turns at learning to drive the tractor in the cornfield and pick up the down row. I graduated to gathering corn. In doing so I learned why someone came up with the idea of Corn Husker’s Lotion. Man, that corn can be hard on your hands. Grasping an ear of corn at its based with one hand and twisting it off the stalk with the other hand is demanding work. It makes for dried-out, worn-out hands.
There is something special about the feel of a big, full ear of corn wrapped tightly in its own shucks.
May the coming of this fall flood your mind with the best of memories.

Disciple! Observe the canvas of life,
Where, all the colors exist without strife.
Lacking overtones of avidity,
And, the sly undertones of jealousy.
Oblivious to the breadth of the stroke,
Or, the passion the loaded brush evoked.
Each stroke exists in equanimity,
Its sole purpose is unanimity.
Blind to higher purpose or positions,
Each stroke submits to the artist's mission,
Depicting, Love's perfect burnished beauty,
That ignites every living entity.

Read More : How True Is the “Sell in May and Go Away” Adage?
As the S&P 500 enters the month of May, many people are worried about their investment strategy, especially in light of the old saying “sell in May and go away.” Does this saying hold any value?
Let’s look at the question from two angles: a historical context and the S&P 500’s currently position.
There are some historical facts that raise a few concerns in my mind regarding an investment strategy in the market during the month of May and early summer—not only in terms of actually selling off, but also in terms of increasing volatility.
What Others Are Reading : European Debt Crisis Explained


Kenya’s founding president Jomo Kenyatta has played an important role in giving Angola its independence from the Portuguese, Angola’s ambassador to Kenya Sianga Abilio announced.
Mr. Abilio was referring to events which he says contributed to the nation’s resistance to continued colonization, which lasted until 1975, amid international pressure on European nations to end their supremacy in Africa.
“In 1974 President Jomo Kenyatta organized two meetings between the three leading parties of our independence struggle in Mombasa and Nakuru. Abilio told The standard in an interview.
The three parties listened for a while but returned to their arguments after Angola’s independence. Angola celebrates its Independence Day today.
Since President Uhuru Kenyatta visited Angola in 2014, the two nations have had a relationship that in some ways mirrors that of acquaintances seeking a path to friendship.
But according to Abilio, the two countries were “friends even before our independence”.
Delegations from both countries met on numerous occasions, most recently at a meeting of the Nations’ Foreign Ministers – Tete Antonio and Raychelle Omamo – in Nairobi in August.
Abilio said Kenya and Angola have yet to test the potential of deeper ties, suggesting a possible state visit by President Joao Lourenco to Kenya before the end of the year.
“Angola has built up considerable capacity in oil exploration and can offer lessons to Kenya, which has discovered oil in Turkana. On the other hand, there is a good market for Kenyan tea and coffee in Angola.
“We have a lot in common. We have a five year election cycle that runs almost simultaneously with yours, ”he said.
Angolans will vote in August next year. President Lourenco, who is serving his first term, can run for a second and final term.
The similarities don’t end there. As in Kenya, there is talk in the South African country of a possible postponement of the elections next year, which both the president and Uhuru have ruled out.
Its 2010 constitution, like that of Kenya, is faced with attempts to change it.
The two nations have a reputation for systemic corruption. In a 2020 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International, Angola was rated 142 out of 180 countries.
Kenya did not do better and ended up in 124th place.

In this easy-to-follow guide, the author walks readers through the simple steps to creating their own Neural network architecture using a very customary office program, Ms-Excel. The best part is, the user is not required to learn complicated syntax and codes.
This step-by-step guide teaches how to carve out a bunch of data from a spreadsheet and transform it into meaningful information using artificial neural network algorithms. For someone with no background with AI and machine learning, but the other way around with Excel, this guide is your go-to. No initial investment, as well as a learning curve, is needed. Just go with it.


Modeling of flow in heat exchangers optimised for additive manufacturing
The proposed research aims to 3D print a series of heat exchangers in plastic and metal to optimize the pressure drop and heat transfer. An initial prototype will produce experimental data to validate a numerical model, which can then be used to rapidly evaluate future heat exchanger designs. Optimizing the pressure drop and heat transfer will lead to an increase in energy efficiency of the heat exchanger. Overall, the partner organization will benefit from an optimized 3-D printed heat exchanger product, as well as a numerical model to allow them to quickly evaluate the performance of a novel heat exchanger design.

Reducing the stigma associated
with mental illness
No individual or family should be isolated when confronted with a behavioral health problem. Reducing the stigma often associated with mental illnesses is pivotal when addressing what needs to be done to improve services. The El Paso Behavioral Health Consortium has partnered with other community organizations in support of the “Okay to Say” campaign. The campaign creates a movement for talking openly about mental illness and helping people find the resources and treatment they need.
The Okay to Say campaign is a community-based movement initiated by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute with support from community partners to increase public awareness about mental health issues in Texas, dispel stigma, and break down cultural barriers surrounding mental illness in Texas and beyond.
The campaign features hundreds of fellow Texans and celebrities (Emmitt Smith, Mark Cuban, Jose Altuve) on television and social media using their voices about it being “Okay to Say” “I’m bipolar… My spouse is battling depression … My child has a disorder … I’m ready to help … I support erasing the stigma of mental health.
The campaign initiates an open dialogue about mental health issues, challenges, and successes people encounter when they seek help for this treatable disease by visiting www.okaytosay.org or following Okay to Say social media platforms #okaytosay.
Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute for Texas is a nonpartisan, nonprofit working to change the condition of mental health in Texas.

Ars Nova Singers and Frequent Flyers Productions
Music and mythology do not meet single point trapeze and aerial fabric very often–or is that, orffen? Carl Orff composed Carmina Burana as an oratorio, and the Ars Nova Singers specialize in performing ancient and modern music. Children can experience Orff’s legacy by pounding out rhythms on various xylophones as part of the music theory course named for the composer. Since Orff invented this curriculum to involve others in the magic of music making, he likely would have reveled in the conglomeration of airborne contortion and whirling cartwheels presented by Frequent Flyers Productions and the Ars Nova Singers at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
Nancy Smith, Frequent Flyers’ founder and artistic director, describes this manic opus in which Cupid, Pan, Bacchus, Helen of Troy, and Venus appear as “a unique marriage of live music and aerial dance,” and according to most members of the 1,200-plus standing-ovation crowd, it was indeed. Rather than telling the direct story of the lyrics, Smith explains that the choreography aims to capture in a more poetic manner the themes of the text, moving from fortune, to spring, to the tavern, to love, and back to fortune again. Sounds like everyone gets paid in advance, and again at the end! Actually, the fortune represented in the first section, O Fortuna, refers to fate.
In the words of the Chorus, “Fate – monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, you are malevolent” – popcorn, anyone? There is no need for popcorn in this packed presentation in which one image leads seamlessly into the next, and a detailed program guides viewers through the words of the chorus, sung simultaneously by the Ars Nova Singers, with about 100 singers and musicians lining the orchestra pit. To add to the complexity, each segment is inspired by the choreographic ideas of Smith’s different collaborators, all of whom perform in the piece.
Appropriately, as O Fortuna centers around the Wheel of Fortune, the aerial dance revolves around an turning wheel, also called “The Rack,” a metallic apparatus made up of an X inside a square that rotates parallel to the stage. When draped with fabric, said Rack transforms into “The Chandelier.” Jennifer Vierow, who has performed with FFP for over 8 years, spun the sequencing for the turning wheel. The dancers hover just above the floor as they hang in creative configurations. Company members Darden Longenecker and Philip Flickinger lead off the turning wheel quartet with a dancerly duo. Nicole Predki, who also dances with Fred Benjamin Dance Company and Interweave Dance Theater teams with Kim Townsend and Angela Delsanter in the wheel’s myriad pyramids and shadowy spirals. Joshua Fink, an accomplished mover and shaker, lifts Longenecker onto the wheel to portray the role of the virgin.
Longenecker credits the choral conductor Thomas Morgan with supporting the performers in their understanding of the music and their desire to transform it to flight. Earlier in the evening, Morgan led the chorus in a rendition of modern composer Eric Whitacre’s “Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine.” These preceding images continue to float through the viewer’s brain as Carmina unfolds its majesties on high. Flickinger descends in the form of Cupid, engaging Longenecker in a spirited contact duo. Longenecker works the double red fabric upsidedown in a split hang, then slides down with ace vaudevillian timing.
Nancy Smith worked in a smooth solo on the single-point trapeze, wearing white accordion pants and swaying elastically with her signature style. Human elasticity becomes materialized as red fabric is stretched across the stage and pulled over human forms a la Graham. A furry Pan steals the dancer’s pants, leaving them in what appears to be 40s-style underwear. Longenecker, who contributed to the choreography in this section (Promo Vere, or Spring) calls these outfits “boy shorts.” The passionate choreography that follows she dubs “the hot pants revelation.”
The Round Dance, or Reie, is led by Smith on the single-point trapeze. Longenecker explained that the work was inspired by low-flying trapeze artist Terry Sendgraff. The imagery and apparatus resemble a Maypole, but one in which “Those who go round and round are all maidens, they want to do without a man all summer long,” a tidbit the program’s author, Michael Moore, refers to as “medieval reverse psychology.” Sure enough, along comes Eleanor of Aquitaine in the next chorus. A Christ Hang and a straddle back balance seem appropriate illustrations of England’s most fiery queen, the one who put on men’s clothing and joined the crusades, provoking a papal bull forbidding anything like that from ever happening again.
After the intermission, the action resumes with In Taberna, the tavern section. As four rope-and-harness cords and a Spanish Web are lowered from the ceiling, Longenecker descends as a medieval character described as the Archpoet. The words translate: “Burning inside with violent anger, bitterly I speak to my heart” – cotton candy, anyone? Of course, with Longenecker on Web the effect of cotton candy was naturally created as she spun her way to spontaneous applause from the massive audience. To wind down, Smith and Longenecker create a dramatic death effect at the end of the program, scaling double red and white fabric as the opening theme returns.
Flickinger and Fink come together for a Bacchanalian revel where ballet, jazz and modern dance combine with lighthearted antics. Andrea Deline, a New York dancer who has worked as a principle with the Boulder Ballet and currently performs with the Denver company 7Dancers, holds sway in this character-driven charade, appearing as a barefoot ballerina. Wine barrels balance on low trapeze rods as the drunken ensemble performs feats of balance sprinkled with pierrotesque pirouettes. The original apparatus was created at a local welding shop.
The lighting enhanced the performance without overshadowing it. J P Osnes, a longtime designer and director in Colorado, kept the audience intrigued throughout the oratorio’s many atmospheric changes. Overall, the performance, music and text were so rich in detail that they cannot possibly be captured in brief. To remedy this, Frequent Flyers and the Ars Nova Singers will have to perform Carmina Burana again at their earliest convenience.
Nancy Smith, based at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, teaches low-flying trapeze and releasing technique. Smith has roots in New Orleans, and her piece “Can these bones live-O Ye Dry Bones,” dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, opened the program. Smith also organizes FFP’s Aerial Dance Festival, which will take place at the Dairy, the University of Colorado, and the Boulder Circus Center, August 6-18, 2006.
