Bay Area residents got a sneak peek into the hopes and dreams of the Department of the Interior last week when Secretary Sally Jewell came to Crissy Field (external link) to announce the department’s new campaign to connect the next generation of Americans with nature.
We at Save the Redwoods League were thrilled to hear Secretary Jewell’s commitment to repairing “the disconnect between young people and the great outdoors.” As more and more Americans live in cities and the younger generation is increasingly tied to structured activities and electronic entertainment, our parks and green spaces have never been more critical to our well-being.
Some historical context: California’s coast redwoods and our national and state parks go way back. Stephen Mather was a key player in the League’s formation and was the first head of the National Park Service. The League’s founders were instrumental in the creation of the California State Parks committee and in the growth of some 40 redwood state parks. And in many ways, the magnificent redwoods helped to define the land ethic of the last century – the appreciation of nature for reasons beyond the usefulness and monetary value of its individual components. That paradigm shift in turn spurred the conservation movement. It is because of that natural progression from a love of redwoods to a deeper commitment to land conservation that the League invests in our education program.
So it was no surprise that while Secretary Jewell was announcing the Obama administration’s plan to help connect the next generation with the outdoors through programs in national parks, the League’s Education & Interpretation Manager, Deborah Zierten, was already putting that plan into action in one of the Bay Area’s remarkable outdoor classrooms, Redwood Regional Park.
With about 35 ninth-grade students from Skyline High in Oakland, Deborah was sharing our science team’s research and techniques studying the impacts of climate change on our redwood forest. The students measured and observed sword ferns and duff, and practiced the data recording central to the scientific method. They got to learn firsthand how the redwoods are saving us (from carbon sequestration to water filtration), and all the ways we are working to save them.
We at the League eagerly support the National Park Service’s investment in outdoor education and recreation to inspire the next generation to love and care for the outdoors. You can show your support and help us build the bridge between our young people and our outstanding natural resources by supporting our education programs, learning and sharing more about our redwood research, or even better, taking a kid you love for a walk in the redwoods.
Check out the Family Guide to the Coast Redwoods and Family Guide to the Giant Sequoias for a wealth of resources that make it fun, simple and educational to bring kids to the redwoods.

If you’re a potter, you either have your own studio or are a member of a communal studio. (Or maybe both!) But no matter where you make things with clay, there are times when there’s no instructor or experienced potter around to help. Or when someone who really knows their stuff is around, but needs to show you how to attach a spout to a teapot without actually making a teapot on the spot.
For those types of situations, Lark created the Ceramics for Beginners series. When we revisited that series with the aim of making them more affordable, we decided to change the series name as well.
The first of the two releasing in paperback this month is Hand Building by Shay Amber. Inside, Shay covers a wide variety of construction techniques, from pinching to coils to slabs. And there’s plenty of finishing techniques as well (just take a look at that tea bowl above).
Wheel Throwing by Emily Reason is the other new release. Emily does a great job of mixing in some inspirational pieces and more advanced tips into a book that is all about core techniques. Clear cutaway photographs and well-lit process shots (like the mugs below) further elevate this book above the average wheel throwing primer.
So the next time you find yourself in the studio with a question about joining slabs at angles or throwing an inset lid, feel free to turn to the experts in our Ceramic Studio.

A Cheshire-based honey producer is joining the cream of the crop at one of the UK’s most popular food and drink events.
Bee farmer Crispin Reeves will be taking his Haughton Honey brand to the BBC Good Food Show at the NEC, Birmingham, from November 26 to 29.
The honey is currently on sale at more than 60 stores across the North West and the Midlands, with plans to expand further afield after a recent partnership with a food distribution service Bikold Foodservice. Based at Radmore Farm, Haughton, in Cheshire, the English honey brand has gone from strength to strength since launching in 2014.
It now has more than 1,600 hives in the cooperative, stretching across the North West and the Midlands regions, including Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
Haughton Honey is raw honey which comes straight from the hive, is cold extracted and never pasteurised which means that it retains all of the natural enzymes and proteins that make English honey so special. It is also 100% natural and pure and features traces of dandelion, chestnut, blackberry, clover and other wildflowers.
It’s also popular with many hay fever sufferers who use raw honey as a natural remedy.

Senator Bernie Sanders just released his “Economic Agenda for America.” While that agenda is certainly more progressive than the talk we hear from Democrats, and certainly is progressive in its expression of generalities. It is not nearly sufficiently progressive in its specifics.
Here’s a commentary on it.
1. We need a major investment to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure: roads, bridges, water systems, waste water plants, airports, railroads and schools. . . . A $1 trillion investment in infrastructure could create 13 million decent paying jobs and make this country more efficient and productive. . .
By William K. Black
Kansas City, MO: December 6, 2014
New York City exemplifies two perverse criminal justice policies that drive many criminologists to distraction. It is the home of the most destructive epidemics of elite financial frauds in history. Those fraud epidemics hyper-inflated the housing bubble and drove the financial crisis and the Great Recession. The best estimate is that the U.S. GDP loss will be $21 trillion and that 10 million Americans lost their jobs. Both numbers are far larger in Europe. The elite “C Suite” leaders of these fraud epidemics were made wealthy by those frauds through bonuses that measured in the billions of dollars annually.
The most extraordinary facts about the catastrophic fraud epidemics, however, is New York City’s reaction to the fraud epidemics. Not a single Wall Street bankster who led the fraud epidemics has been prosecuted or had their fraud proceeds “clawed back.” Not a single Wall Street bankster who led the fraud epidemics is treated as a pariah by his peers or New York City elites. New York City’s elected leaders have made occasional criticisms of the banksters, but Mayor Bloomberg was famous for his sycophancy for the Wall Street banksters that made him wealthy. In 2011, Mayor Bloomberg attacked the “Occupy Wall Street” movement for daring to protest the banksters.

An additional $268,383 from the CARES Act Federal Stimulus package was added to the city’s coffers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the council approved making the funds available for the rental assistance program last month.
“This new funding for rental assistance will continue to offer critical support for Bremertonians who are facing economic hardship due to the impacts of COVID-19,” Wheeler said.
This money is in addition to the $100,000 each provided by the city and the Bremerton Housing Authority.

Kyle Wesaw, caught on video kicking an off-duty police officer in the face at the State Fair as he struggled to restrain another man, pleaded guilty Thursday to assault.
Anthony G. Clark, the man being restrained in the widely viewed YouTube video, was sentenced in November to 79 days for fifth-degree assault in the attack, in which Clark punched the off-duty St. Paul police officer in the face, touching off a struggle that passer-by Wesaw joined in on, even as Joseph Sauer yelled out that he was an officer.
There were plenty of witnesses for police to interview about the attack on Sept. 2 near Liggett Street and Carnes Avenue, but cellphone video taken by a bystander and posted on YouTube provided proof of Wesaw's involvement.
Sauer had been assailed after someone in the crowd yelled that he was a cop. Sauer seconds later had a man, later identified as Clark, 25, of St. Paul, in a "bear-hug type hold." Sauer was able to take Clark to the ground.
The video was listed as evidence in the case against Wesaw, 27, of Minneapolis. At 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, he's seen pacing near Sauer before running up and kicking him in the face, knocking him off Clark and to the ground.
When police interviewed Sauer, he had memory problems but recalled someone throwing a stuffed animal at him and thought somebody head-butted him before he and another officer could cuff that person. Court papers indicate that Sauer wasn't fully coherent.
At Regions Hospital, he complained of a headache, swollen mouth and memory loss.
Wesaw, arrested the next day in Minneapolis, told police that Clark had thrown a stuffed animal at Sauer. He said Sauer and Clark began wrestling on the ground and that while he tried to break up the fight, Sauer bit his thumb. Wesaw said he didn't know that Sauer was an officer.
In court in St. Paul on Thursday, Wesaw admitted to the facts of the case, including that he had been drinking when he kicked Sauer in the face.
Wesaw is to be sentenced in Ramsey County District Court on March 1 to up to six months in jail for third-degree assault. A fourth-degree assault charge was dropped.
His criminal history includes other cases of disorderly conduct and obstructing police, including taking a "fighting stance" when police tried to arrest him last year.
State Fair officials had no comment.

- The KSh 50 billion Hustler Fund was launched by President William Ruto on Wednesday, November 30, 2022
- Ruto said the fund gives opportunities to more than eight million Kenyans who were blacklisted on the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB)
- The Fund was the first launch as a personal loan product with a minimum loan limit of KSh 500 to a maximum of KSh 50,000
Kenyans have been accessing the Hustler Fund after its launch on Wednesday, November 30.
President William Ruto unveiled the KSh 50 billion kitty as a personal loan with a limit of between KSh 500 to KSh 50,000.
What is Hustler Fund
Ruto said the funds come as an opportunity for millions of Kenyan borrowers who were denied access to credit due to CRB blacklisting.

"We listened to Kenyans from all corners of the country. They complained about Fuliza, and Shylock issuing loans at high-interest rates. That's why we agreed to come up with this fund," Ruto said.
The president confirmed that the facility would be offered at a single interest rate of 8% per year (0.002% per day).
How to access Hustler Fund
He noted that the Fund is 500 times cheaper than any lender in the market and requires no paperwork or collateral.
Kenyans can access the facility through a USSD code or mobile applications such as the M-Pesa App. Here is how you can access the funds;
- To register, dial *254# from any mobile money network - M-Pesa, Airtel Money and T-Kash.
- After verification, choose the loan product, which then gives the limit.
- Select the amount you want to borrow, enter your mobile money pin and confirm the request.
Hustler Fund Goodies: Personal, SME Loans and Other Products Under William Ruto's KSh 50b Credit Facility
The amount disbursed to your mobile wallet will be 95%, and 5% will be pushed to your savings account to be matched by the government.
Hustler Fund limit
The loan limit will be graduated based on the borrower's ability to repay or credit score.
Individuals will borrow up to KSh 50,000, depending on their loan limit allocated after registration.
Chamas, groups and small businesses will borrow from a minimum of KSh 50,000 to a maximum of KSh 500,000.
Unregulated Sacco's get the loan at a maximum of KSh 10 million, while those regulated get up to KSh 100 million.
Hustler Fund repayment period
The Hustler Fund loan repayment period is slated within 14 days after disbursement.
The loan is repaid at an interest rate of 0.002% daily, and payments can be made via mobile wallet.
Repaying your loan on time earns you a positive credit score, which can graduate you to the next level or loan limit.
If you fail to repay within 15 days, the interest shoots up to 9.5% per annum, and after 30 days, your account will be frozen.
Hustler Fund penalties
The National Treasury published regulations to be adhered to if one wants to benefit from the hustler fund.
The regulations stated that any beneficiary of the hustler fund who misappropriated or defaulted the fund should be liable to a fine not exceeding KSh 10 million shillings or a term of imprisonment not exceeding five years or both.

Top 20 Git Commands With Examples
What is GIT?
We all are aware that “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”, similarly Git was invented to overcome the problems that the developers faced before Git.
Git was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 and is specially designed to handle small as well as large projects with much efficiency and speed. It is a free and open-source distributed version control system that is very easy to learn. Git tracks all the changes that are made by the user in the source code so that the user has a record of what has been done and can revert to specific versions if ever needed. With the help of Git, multiple people are allowed to make changes and can be merged into one source, so it also makes collaboration easier.
Let’s understand a scenario which is before and after Git invention-
Before Git was invented-
- Before the invention of this tool developers used to submit their codes to a central server and there is no copy of their own.
- Any changes which are made to the source code or file were unknown to the other developers and there is always a lack of communication between developers.
After the invention of Git-
- Invention of Git allows every developer to have a copy of the code on their local systems.
- Any changes which are made to the source code can be tracked by other developers which allows regular communication between multiple developers.
Why are we using Git?
Today it is very important to switch from a centralized version control system to Git as it changes the way your development team creates software. Users preferred using Git because of the following features-
- Free and open source- Git is released under General Public License which means it is open source and you don’t need to buy it. It is totally free and since it is open-source, users can modify the source code as per their requirements.
- Speed- Since there is no network dependency for performing operations, it completes all the tasks very fast. Fetching version history from a local repository can be a hundred times faster than fetching it from a remote or central server.
- Scalable- In the future if the number of collaborators increases Git can easily handle it due to its scalable feature.
- Reliable- Since every developer has its own local repository, in case the system crashes the lost data can be easily recovered.
- Secure- Git uses SHA1 i.e., Secure Hash Function to name and identify objects. Every file and commit are check-summed and recovered only by its checksum.
- Easy Branching- Branch management with Git is quite simple as it takes only a few seconds to delete, create and merge branches.
Key Benefits of using Git-
- Historical Change Tracking- User can easily review a graph of all their changes, how they have changed, who changed them, and when they are changed. Users can also revert to a previous commit if in case needed. This history helps developers to identify and fix bugs.
- Work as a Team- User can easily share their code with other developers for review. Multiple users can work on the same file and resolve issues later.
- Availability & Redundancy- Git is a distributed VCS means there is no central place where everything is stored. There are multiple backups in case you need one. Users can also work offline and commit their changes once they are ready.
- Industry Standard- Due to its high demand, it is supported by many integrated development environments (IDEs) and by many popular developer tools.
Important Git Commands-
Let’s go through some important Git Commands list commonly used by the developers-
- git add- It is used to move all the changes from the working directory to the staging area. Before running the commit command, it is used to add any new or modified files.
- git branch- It is used to create isolated development environments i.e. branches within a single repository.
- git clean- As the name suggests, it is used to remove untracked files from the working directory.
- git clone- This command is used to create a copy of an existing Git repository. git init- This command initializes a new Git Repository.
- git merge- It is used to integrate the branches together.
- git checkout- This command is used to switch branches whenever the work is to be started on any different branch.
- git config- This is used to set the configuration options for your Git installation.
- git remote- is used to administer the emote connections.
- git reset- This Git command is used to remove changes that are not pushed to a public repository.
- git status- Using this command user can see the state of the working directory.
- git push- It is used to transfer or push the content from the local repository to the remote repository.

The Palestinian Authority on Tuesday rejected Israel’s decision to end the mandate of the international observers in Hebron and said the move was in violation of agreements signed under the auspices of the international community.
“We will not allow the continuation of an International force that acts against us,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on Monday about the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH).
Nabil Abu Rudaineh, spokesman for the PA presidency, said that the decision was “unacceptable” and called on the international community to “take a clear position toward this dangerous Israeli stance.” He also called for extorting pressure on the Israeli government to abide by the agreement on the presence of the TIPH observers in Hebron.
“By ignoring all signed agreements and refusing to fulfil its commitments, Israel is insisting on creating a climate of escalation, tension and chaos in the region - the consequences of which can’t be foreseen,” Abu Rudaineh said. “This is proof for the International community that Israel does not honour the resolutions of international legitimacy. It’s also a continuation of Israel’s policy of escalation against our people and land.”
The PA Foreign Ministry also weighed in on Netanyahu’s decision and said it was an attempt to “hide the crimes of the Israeli occupation and its settlers.”
The ministry said in a statement that Israel does not want the presence of any International missions “out of fear that they would expose its crimes and violations against our people.”
According to the PA ministry, the decision to end the mandate of TIPH is designed to pave the way for the “Judaization” of Area C and the Israeli-controlled part of Hebron.
PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat said that the decision not to renew the mandate of TIPH is an “addiitonal step towards Israel’s nullification of all signed agreements, including the Oslo Interim Agreement.” The decision, he said, “further consolidates the Israeli colonial enterprise and represents one further step towards a ‘de jure” annexation of further areas in the occupied State of Palestine.”
Erekat called on the United Nations to guarantee the safety and protection of the Palestinians by “ensuring the continued presence of TIPH in Hebron” and deploying permanent international presence in all Palestinian communities, including east Jerusalem, “until the end of Israel’s belligerent occupation.”

Britain's chancellor George Osborne will today endorse sweeping European supervisory powers over banks and financial institutions in response to the economic crisis.
EU finance ministers meeting in Brussels are set to approve three new pan-European watchdog bodies to oversee the banking, insurance and securities markets across Europe.
The aim is better coordination of national financial services watchdogs as an early warning signal of any future economic disasters.
Mr Osborne has backed the move since taking office, insisting that the new system will still leave day-to-day financial supervision within the UK in the hands of national authorities.
Conservative MEP Vicky Ford also insisted the outcome would give added protection to consumers – who bore the brunt of the crisis – without ceding sovereignty.
“National governments and national regulators keep their frontline responsibility to protect national taxpayers’ interests,” she said.
But Open Europe, campaigning for EU reforms, said the plan represented a clear shift in power from the UK, giving EU officials a mandate to “interpret, apply and even enforce EU laws at the expense of national regulators”, according to Open Europe director Mats Persson.
Unveiling a new Open Europe report which warns of a risk to the City of London, Mr Persson said: “This proposal is moving substantial control over financial services away from national authorities and governments.
“Once established, the EU supervisors are likely to extend their powers incrementally, since the proposal is designed to allow for more and more laws to come under their authority.
“While a single rulebook could benefit the City of London, the voting arithmetic within the supervisors leaves the UK in an unusually weak position to block unwelcome proposals. This, in turn, could expose the City to interventions from countries which don’t share the UK’s view of financial markets.”
But a Government spokesman insisted the new supervisory arrangements were “a good deal for us”, adding: “We are happy with this. Once it has been agreed by finance ministers, the technical details will be sorted out by national officials later this week or next week.
“But day-to-day supervision (of British banks and financial institutions) remains at national level – that is what we have said all along.”
Mr Osborne and his colleagues will also discuss another post-crisis plan to tighten control on banks – a possible EU-wide levy on all finance houses to go to a central pot to fund any future wind-up of failing institutions, avoiding any repeat of the financial fall-out being absorbed by customers.
Mr Osborne has already announced that he will introduce a British levy at the start of next year, but with the proceeds going into general UK Treasury revenue.
Britain is against setting up a fund to raise money for winding up banks.
“If such a fund were created, it would encourage banks to indulge in risky behaviour, knowing that a bail-out fund was available,” said the Government spokesman.
Agreement on a levy is still months away, with no detailed proposals likely to be tabled by the Commission until next year.
Meanwhile, John Monks, general secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation, urged the ministers today to consider, in addition to the planned bank levy, a “financial transaction tax” (FTT) on all transactions between banks.
In a letter to the Commission and the ministers, Mr Monks said: “Workers and their families are paying a triple bill for a crisis they have no responsibility for: as job-holders who are facing high and rising unemployment; as taxpayers who are facing social austerity and higher taxes for less public sector services; and as parents who are facing less quality in education, training and good quality jobs for their children.
“In stark contrast to this, the crisis for banking institutions and their managers seems to be over. The huge bail-out programmes have not given rise to any more socially-responsible behaviour in the banking sector but have, in fact, added to moral hazard and widespread self-service mentality.
“The ETUC believes that an FTT on all transactions can contribute to re-pay the costs of the crisis and fund other public good objectives.”

Lino Lakes police officers raided an alleged cockfighting operation this week, arresting nine people and confiscating 41 injured birds.
Investigators said the several-acre Lino Lakes property contained hundreds of pens holding up to 1,000 chickens.
"It's certainly one of the largest and more sophisticated facilities [that I've seen]," said Keith Streff, a senior investigator with the Animal Humane Society.
Police arrived at the heavily wooded area in the 1400 block of Woodland Drive on Sunday, in response to an anonymous complaint of an illegal cockfight. Between 20 and 30 people ran into the woods as officers arrived, leaving behind an injured rooster and other evidence of cockfighting, officers said.
Officers arrested nine people, including a man who identified himself as the owner of the property. Police said the owner will likely receive felony charges for permitting an animal fight. The other eight men are expected to receive lesser charges for attending the fight.
Streff said the property's owner denied using the animals for illegal fighting and said he was raising them as pets and for food.
Several men admitted to being at the property to watch the fight, police said, and one man told officers he had placed a $20 bet.
When officers returned to the property on Tuesday to execute a search warrant, they found between 500 and 1000 live chickens, along with seven dead birds, and 40 roosters that showed evidence of recent fighting.
Officials said they also confiscated several blood-stained fighting rings, along with animal antibiotics and syringes.
The Animal Humane Society is caring for the injured birds at its Golden Valley facility. Many of the roosters have leg injuries and damaged feathers.
Streff said it appears that the property was mostly used to breed animals to be sold for cockfighting. The alleged fight on Sunday might have been the result of carelessness on the part of the property's owner, Streff said.
"He might have said, 'Let's whoop it up and have a little fight here,'" he said.
Officials said the investigation is pending, but they do not expect any additional arrests.

Neck pain. Neck pain is tied with headaches as the second most common pain experienced by adult Americans (also 15 percent), and massage can typically help with this too. For instance, a systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2014 in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine analyzed 15 studies and found that there was “moderate evidence” that massage therapy helped provide relief.
Earliest discovery of reflexology was found in Egypt based on the observation of daily life activities including the medical practices.1 Other studies have reported that reflexology emerges from China for the last 5000 years ago but there is no documentation found, so with the finding of hieroglyphic mural in the pyramid located in Saggara, reflexology is considered as a part of Egyptian culture from 2330 BC.3 At the late of 14th century, reflexology was already applied throughout the Europe with another name; zone therapy.9 Father of modern reflexology, Dr. William Fitzgerald (1872–1942) has discovered that zone therapy has been used by Aboriginal American.9 Jenny Wallace from North American Indians tribes used pressure at the feet as one of the sources of healing process.9 Fitzgerald study has brought reflexology practice to be widely used in the United States.3 The discovery of zone therapy was developed from the finding of pressure applied on many parts of body such as hands, nose, ears, and many more can relieve pain sensation.10 Dr. Joe Shelby Riley from Washington has conducted many studies of therapy including reflexology and has used this therapy for many years.9 Eunice Ingham (1879–1974) has worked together with Dr. Riley in 1930's as the therapist and work greatly to help people understand reflexology.8 She shared the technique of reflexology with others by writing many books such as “Stories the Feet Can Tell, Stories the Feet Have Told, and Stories the Feet Are Telling”.9 Reflexology has greater recognition after the emergence of another eminent woman in this therapy world with her book; “Helping Yourself with Foot Reflexology” which reached more than 500,000 copies sold.9

Massage therapy is also being investigated as an aide to patients with more neuromuscular disorders, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). A Iranian 2013 study published in Clinical Rehabilitation looked at 48 individuals with MS who participated in a five-week massage experiment. They were assigned to one of four groups: massage therapy, exercise therapy, combined massage-exercise therapy and control group.
Sports massage is a good option if you have a repetitive use injury to a muscle, such as what you may get from playing a sport. It’s also a good option if you’re prone to injuries because it can be used to help prevent sports injuries. You may also use sports massage to increase flexibility and performance. Additionally, sports massage can be used to relieve pain, anxiety, and muscle tension.
While this massage is designed to help ease the pain, you might experience discomfort during your appointment, especially when your therapist is applying pressure to a problem area. It is best to speak up and let your therapist know if the discomfort becomes painful; even though the Deep Tissue massage is meant to apply more pressure, pain does not mean that the massage is working. You might also experience some soreness and stiffness; this is perfectly normal and should subside within 24 hours. ElementsMassage.com recommends that you drink a lot of water in order to flush out the lactic acid that will have accumulated in the tissues; this may ease some of the soreness. Bruising after your massage may also occur; keep in mind that your therapist was applying more pressure in order to reach your troubled areas, light bruising is normal. Cathy Wong also points out that “case reports have reported venous thromboembolism, spinal accessory neuropathy, hepatic hematoma, and posterior interosseous syndrome after deep tissue massage.”
Biomechanical stimulation (BMS) is a term generally used for localised biomechanical oscillation methods, whereby local muscle groups are stimulated directly or via the associated tendons by means of special hand held mechanical vibration devices. Biomechanical oscillation therapy and training is offered in a variety of areas such as competitive sports, fitness, rehabilitation, medicine, prevention, beauty, and used to improve performance of the muscles and to improve coordination and balance. It is often used in the Myofascial trigger point therapy concept to invoke reciprocal inhibition within the musculoskeletal system. Beneficial effects from this type of stimulation have been found to exist, the efficacy of the BMS Matrix therapy was proven in an independent study. carried out by TÜV-Süd which was commissioned by German health insurer BKK Gesundheit.

Massage is the manipulation of soft tissues in the body. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet, or a device. The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body stress or pain. A person who was professionally trained to give massages was traditionally known as a masseur (male) or a masseuse (female), but those titles are outmoded, and carry some negative connotations. In the United States, the title massage therapist has been recognized as a business norm for those who have been professionally trained to give massages.

Because areas of the feet correlate with numerous parts of the body, your massage therapist can start working with your feet to release pain and tension before moving to the troublesome area to apply traditional massage techniques. A certified Integrative Reflexology® massage therapist can properly stimulate the proprioceptors on the bottom of the feet to help increase stimulation of nerve endings, helping to calm the body.

Ergonomic chairs serve a similar function as a massage table. Chairs may be either stationary or portable models. Massage chairs are easier to transport than massage tables, and recipients do not need to disrobe to receive a chair massage. Due to these two factors, chair massage is often performed in settings such as corporate offices, outdoor festivals, shopping malls, and other public locations.
Reflexology also known as "zone therapy", is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a pseudoscientific system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.
While a typical runner’s sports massage focuses primarily on the legs, Denunzio insists on incorporating upper body work as well. As she explains it, “nobody has perfect form, especially when they’re fatigued” and runners can unknowingly tense their upper bodies when working out, which in turn creates tightness in their arms, shoulders and back. Ideally, those areas should receive a little TLC as well.
Massage has been practiced for thousands of years. Today, if you need or want a massage, you can choose from about 80 massage therapy styles with a wide variety of pressures, movements, and techniques. These all involve pressing, rubbing, or manipulating muscles and other soft tissues with hands and fingers. Sometimes, even forearms, elbows, or feet are used.

Can humans smell emotions?
A new study suggests that maybe you really can smell human emotion.
Researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands found that it’s possible for people to “smell” emotions like fear or disgust through excreted chemical signals..
Can dogs sense fear in their owners?
So, a dog may not read your mind and think fear, but it can smell what happens in your body when you’re afraid. Humans sweat when we’re stressed. … If you’re afraid, a dog will know through smells and visual hints. Whether that means the dog will become aggressive depends upon the dog and the situation.
What does God say about fear?
Isaiah 43:1 “Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.” God actually commands us not to fear, or worry. The phrase “fear not” is used at least 80 times in the Bible, most likely because He knows the enemy uses fear to decrease our hope and limit our victories.
Can you really smell fear?
Humans can smell fear and disgust, and the emotions are contagious, according to a new study. … Most animals communicate using smell, but because humans lack the same odor-sensing organs, scientists thought we had long ago lost our ability to smell fear or other emotions.
Does stress make you smell different?
Stress sweat happens to everyone. Times of stress can cause you to sweat more and that sweat smells different because of the way it interacts with the bacteria on your skin.
Can dogs smell period blood?
It turns out that both cats and dogs are able to detect menstruation by odor and hormonal levels. Of course, they don’t actually have any scientific concept of what’s happening in your uterus, but they do know that something is going on.
Is fear a pheromone?
A study at New York’s Stony Brook University found people who are scared do indeed give off “fear pheromones” in their sweat. These hormones trigger parts of your brain that are subconsciously associated with fear. … The fear pheromone can trigger similar emotions in others who happen to catch a whiff.
Can Wasps smell fear?
I think (completely unscientific here) that they CAN sense if you are afraid or panic. Maybe it is a smell or cortisol reaction, but if you stay calm they are fine. All wasps want to do is live their lives and be devoted to their babies.
Why are animals afraid of humans?
Animals evolve to seek their food and avoid dangers. A prey animal like a deer, Duck, or wild sheep will shy away from something that smells or sounds like a predator, and over many generations will come to fear humans on a genetic level if humans hunt and eat them.
What is the root of fear?
The answers range from fear of the unknown (sort of true) to fear of abandonment (again, sort of true). … In actuality, research shows that the two innate fears we are born with are a fear of falling and a fear of loud noises. Here’s an interesting article that delves deeper into the science of fear.
What animal smells fear?
You may have heard that some animals, such as bees and dogs, can smell fear. That statement is somewhat true and somewhat misleading, according to Penn State University. Fear itself does not have a scent, but the pheromones produced when an animal is afraid do.
Is it true that animals can smell fear?
Instead of detecting airborne molecules, the accessory olfactory system is designed to “read” the messages of non-volatile pheromones, communicative chemicals emitted by all animals. … This limitation makes it impossible for any animal to smell fear in members of different species.
Can Predators sense fear?
The ability to either sense fear or project fear plays a large part in the predator/prey relationship. … The “other animals” are not the only ones who can and do sense fear. Humans do it, as well. Granted, our level of fear-sensing is not as acute as most other vertebrates.
Does stress change your body odor?
Stress. Stress and anxiety can occasionally cause you to sweat more, leading to a stronger body odor. If you have hyperhidrosis disorder, you sweat excessively and uncontrollably, sometimes for no apparent reason.
Can bees smell fear?
Do bees smell fear? Keep in mind, bees traditionally use their sense of smell to protect their hives. … Bees know to interpret that scent as fear and they can emit scents of their own to ‘talk’ to each other about the smell they identify as fear, so the entire hive is quickly alerted.
Does my dog know when Im scared?
Dog owners swear that their furry best friend is in tune with their emotions. Now it seems this feeling of interspecies connection is real: dogs can smell your emotional state, and adopt your emotions as their own.
What do humans fear the most?
According to surveys, some of the most common fears are of demons and ghosts, the existence of evil powers, cockroaches, spiders, snakes, heights, Trypophobia, water, enclosed spaces, tunnels, bridges, needles, social rejection, failure, examinations, and public speaking.
What does it mean to smell fear?
Sign up for the Newsletter Sign Up. “The smell of fear” turns out to have a foundation in science. All sweat smells—and some sweat screams anxiety to the world, according to a study published in June in PLoS One. “The chemical transfer of anxiety may cause a feeling of discomfort in the perceiver.

The WordPress mobile app page manager now has a new way of handling published content, made possible due to a high amount of user feedback…
WordPress is a very powerful CMS or content management system which makes publishing and updating pages a cinch. But, there are still a few kinks in the platform. One such example is the way pages are displayed on the mobile apps for Android and iOS alike.
WordPress Mobile App Page Manager Update Rolls Out
The company has published a post on its official blog addressing the way pages show up in the mobile apps and how its changed the experience:
“We’ve made a small change to the WordPress mobile apps to make it easier for you to navigate and edit your pages. In previous versions of WordPress for iOS and Android, your pages were ordered by the date they were created as opposed to what your actual page hierarchy looks like on your website. Users told us they found it difficult to find the page they were looking to edit, so we’ve now updated this section to match the layout of your site.”
It’s a small but very substantial change. With the update, site owners and managers can more easily find what they’re looking for on-the-go.
How to Use the New WordPress Mobile App Page Manager
To use the new WordPress mobile app page manager, update to the latest version for Android or iOS. Then, do the following:
- Navigate to the “My Site” section.
- Select a site.
- Choose “Site Pages.”
- Set a parent page.


State championship out of reach for Hahnville’s Tigers
|Photo by Jonathan Menard|
Hahnville’s Jauries Thomas reaches for a loose ball during the Tigers state final showdown with Ouachita. Though Hahnville tied the score at 42-42 heading into the fourth, 12 straight Lion points put the game away.
The Tigers, who were seeded 12th to open up the state tournament, kicked off their unlikely run with a 62-58 win over Airline. Then, they knocked off 5th-seeded Westgate in a 71-70 thriller.
From that point on, Hahnville knew that they were good enough to go toe-to-toe with the best teams in the state.
The Tigers routed East Ascension 63-46 in the quarterfinals, and pulled out a huge win over No. 1 ranked Huntington, 61-51, to advance to the state championship against Ouachita.
The Tigers got off to a slow start to open the contest, and their only lead came in the opening minute of the game.
However, Hahnville stuck with Ouachita, trailing only 14-10 after the first and 30-24 at the half.
In the third quarter, the Tigers outscored Ouachita 18-12, tying up the game at 42-42.
Jared Kinsey, who was the only Hahnville player to score in double figures with 13 points, began the third with a 3-pointer and then hit another with 3:21 left in the quarter to cut Ouachita's lead to 37-33.
After Player of the Game Nick Haywood hit a 3-pointer of his own to put Ouachita back up by seven, Desmond Raymond drove inside, made his shot, and was fouled.
He nailed the free throw to cut the Ouachita lead to 40-36.
With five seconds left in the quarter, Kinsey struck again with a short jumper to tie the score at 42-42.
"We were right there," Hahnville head coach Brian Lumar said. "I think we stepped up our defensive pressure at the end of the third. I didn't think we sustained it."
Ouachita put the game away in the opening minutes of the fourth, scoring 12 straight points to lead the team to a 70-53 victory.
"Defensively, we broke down on a number of occasions, which we're not accustomed to doing," Lumar said.
"We didn't come out with enough energy," he said. "We didn't carry energy from the third into the fourth. We really needed that and that's probably why we came up short."

In the early postintervention phase (within 2.75 years from intervention), there was a sharp decrease in breast cancer incidence in the combined HT group, though the HR remained higher than 1 (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.90-1.70). During the late postintervention phase (requiring patient re-consent), the HR for breast cancer risk remained higher than 1 through 5.5 years (median) of additional follow-up (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.06-1.77). In the estrogen alone trial, the HR for invasive breast cancer risk was lower than 1 throughout the intervention phase (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.61-1.02) and remained lower than 1 in the early postintervention phase (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.34-0.89), but risk reduction was not observed during the late postintervention follow-up (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.73-1.87). Characteristics of breast cancers diagnosed during early and late postintervention phases differed in both trials.Abstract: CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In the E+P trial, the higher breast cancer risk seen during intervention was followed by a substantial drop in risk in the early postintervention phase, but a higher breast cancer risk remained during the late postintervention follow-up. In the estrogen alone trial, the lower breast cancer risk seen during intervention was sustained in the early postintervention phase but was not evident during the late postintervention follow-up.
