Utah Jazz: Teammates, opponents see improving Gordon Hayward as 'special'
LOS ANGELES — Gordon Hayward has been in the NBA for nearly an entire season, but the combination of his association with Butler University and another captivating NCAA Tournament run by the Bulldogs have put him in the spotlight more than anything he's done as a rookie.
Not that the Utah Jazz player minds.
Acting as Butler's unofficial ambassador/poster boy, the 21-year-old hot interview commodity has been featured during the NCAAs on interviews ranging from ESPN, to Yahoo Sports, to … you name the publication or TV/radio station.
"I've been talking about Butler for a while," Hayward said at Monday's practice. "It's fun being able to talk about them. It makes me proud that people want to talk about them."
Of course, if Hayward continues to play and progress the way he has been, media types will eventually switch the talking points and focus the attention on him instead of his hometown school.
A day after Hayward notched a career-high 19 points on Sacramento, his potential was gushed about by veteran teammates.
"Special" was one word center Al Jefferson used in describing the 6-foot-8 swingman, whose game is maturing despite his boyish looks. (Yes, Hayward almost looked like he could fit in at the high school where the Jazz practiced Monday.)
"He don't know how good he can be in this league," Jefferson said. "It's going to be scary. He's going to be real good."
And Hayward is going to be real good in many aspects of the game, 10-year NBA guard Earl Watson believes.
"I think Gordon is come into his own," Watson said.
Hayward also happens to have a fan in Oklahoma City. The talented guy who pumped up BYU's Jimmer Fredette for being the "best scorer in the world!" also thinks the Jazz have a talented youngster.
"Kevin Durant was talking to me during the game (at Oklahoma City)," Watson explained. "He was like, 'Man, (Hayward) should be starting.' Kevin Durant loves him. He was talking about how good he was in the game."
The fact that Hayward had his worst shooting night as a pro during that March 23 game — going 1-for-10 from the field on his 21st birthday — when he received the compliment speaks volumes about his all-around game.
"The thing with Gordon is he's so versatile," Watson said. "He doesn't just focus on one thing. If Gordon was just a 3-point shooter, everybody would notice how good of a 3-point shooter he really is."
Watson added that Hayward "can do a lot of things, almost everything."
"He's a well-rounded player and he's an unselfish player," Watson said. "He's a playmaker. He can score. He can get his own shot. He can come off picks. He can handle pick-and-rolls. He's a great defender. He has underestimated athletic ability. He's really athletic. He has a (Manu) Ginobili-like quickness to him."
Hayward also has a knack for swatting shots on occasion.
Ask John Wall and Chris Paul.
While compliments are flattering, Hayward realizes how far he's come in this league and how far he has to go to become the productive NBA player he envisions.
"I want to improve everything," Hayward said. "When you go to the next level, everything's got to be better. I think one thing I need to improve a lot is my mindset, being more aggressive and trying to make plays and attack the rim."

By Jason Hart | Watchdog.org
Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s defense of Obamacare at an exclusive New York City event last week has left-wing pundits singing Kasich’s praises.
At a closed dinner hosted by the conservative Committee to Unleash Prosperity, the Republican governor on Wednesday reiterated his support for Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid to able-bodied, working-age childless adults.
Responding to questions from Manhattan Institute senior fellow and Forbes opinion editor Avik Roy, Kasich stuck to his insistence Medicaid expansion is both conservative and biblical, prompting negative coverage from Newsmax and National Review.
Kasich “showed his prickly side during a testy back-and-forth” with Roy, National Review’s Eliana Johnson reported.
The grief John Kasich is getting over Medicaid — see here http://t.co/8VNSn7vvte — speaks well of his character. And his values.
— Jonathan Cohn (@CitizenCohn) March 27, 2015
Supply-siders apparently think John Kasich is a monster for thinking poor people deserve health insurance. http://t.co/oVHsjPdVEp
— Jamelle Bouie (@jbouie) March 27, 2015
Salon published a Joan Walsh column on Kasich’s exchange with Roy, headlined, “The rich’s Scott Walker bungle: Why plutocrats fell for the wrong GOP governor.”
“Kasich is what Scott Walker pretends to be: A practical Midwestern governor of a hugely important swing state with a track record of governing,” Walsh wrote.
Kasich’s “refusal to apologize for expanding Medicaid or participate in bashing the poor makes him unacceptable to many in the donor class,” she opined.
Watchdog.org emailed Walsh for comment on how Medicaid expansion support from the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, glowing coverage of Kasich from center-right Fox News and Republican electoral success running against Obamacare fit with her premise.
“Actually, you pretty much know what I think,” she replied. “You know more than I do, so what do you think?”
At The New Republic, Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig asserted, “unlike his Republican competitors, Kasich takes Christian politics very seriously.”
Kasich isn't going to win, but he should run so rightwingers have to reckon with his pro-poor Christianity http://t.co/AL4GS1M93c
— Elizabeth S. Bruenig (@ebruenig) March 27, 2015
Bruenig, who slammed the “sham Christianity” of Roy and other Obamacare critics in a Salon column last October, noted “it seems that Kasich has kept the free-market right rankled enough to retain their censure to this day.”
After expressing her opinion Kasich would have no chance in a Republican presidential primary, Bruenig concluded, “Kasich should still run.”
“His sturdy brand of Christian politics belongs in a nation that has, for the greater part of the last century, drowned in rhetoric that paints Christianity and capitalism as natural allies, despite all evidence to the contrary,” she said.
In an email to Watchdog, Roy confirmed that Newsmax accurately described his exchange with Kasich at the event.
Kasich, who contends he is against President Obama’s 2010 health insurance law, replied in the affirmative when Roy asked, “Is it fair to say you support repealing Obamacare except for the Medicaid expansion?”
More than two-thirds of the Ohioans insured under Obamacare are enrolled in Kasich’s Medicaid expansion, which has cost federal taxpayers more than $2.7 billion and added 510,544 Ohioans to the Medicaid rolls in just 14 months.
“Maybe you think we should put them in prison,” Kasich told Roy after further questioning. The governor is accustomed to a supportive media reporting his Obamacare talking points without skepticism.
Asked for his thoughts on Kasich’s responses to his questions, Roy said a National Review Online post he wrote in November still applies.
“John Kasich believes that critics of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion are not sincere but ‘really either political or ideological,’ and that Medicaid expansion opponents will literally rot in hell,” Roy wrote.
“The chances of John Kasich marrying Kate Upton are higher than the chances of John Kasich contending for the GOP nomination,” he said.

Ojo-Aromokudu conceptualises informal settlements as an interpretation of 21st century vernacular architecture, thereby adding to the body of knowledge on such architecture.
She was motivated by the similarities she observed between traditional dwellings in rural KwaZulu-Natal and those in the informal settlements. As an architect, Ojo-Aromokudu wanted to better understand the spatial language of informal settlements.
‘It was quite exciting engaging with the informal settlement dwellers and understanding their world from their perspective. Contrary to [the] opinion of non-residents, the informal settlement residents are purposeful individuals and households seeking a better life for themselves and their growing households,’ she said.
The findings suggest that informal settlement dwellings represent the beginnings of 21st century urban vernacular architecture, and that residents ascribe existential, aspirational and experimental meanings to their dwellings. Ojo-Aromokudu believes that this will be useful in future upgrading interventions.
Ojo-Aromokudu received financial support from the National Research Foundation, University Capacity Development Programme, Knowledge Interchange and Collaboration, African Center for Cities Fellowship, and the ERSC/ Newton funded ISULabantu project (www.isulabantu.org ).
She thanked her family, friends and supervisor for their support.
Ojo-Aromokudu intends to continue to interrogate the issues around informal settlements, both theoretically and from the perspective of upgrading programmes, towards creating more liveable human settlements for the urban economically marginalised. ‘How great it would be if self-help settlements are safe, more liveable and secure in all ramifications,’ she said.

Debut from NY noisepop quartet
Longwave may be extravagantly coiffed and pals with The Strokes, but they’re aurally closer to fellow NYC overcoat rockers Interpol. Yet while Mancunian angst-rock is discernible, Longwave wisely mediate such touchstones with The Flaming Lips’ fractured wonderment and Radiohead’s imperious FX squalls. Epic but rarely overblown, the album is rich in nimble detail, shifty atmospherics and an aura of calm invincibility. The real trump card, though, comes with the songs: memorably melodic, plaintive and bigger than skyscrapers.

February 22-26 is America Saves Week. In the past 12 months, we have learned to expect the unexpected, and the same has likely proven true with your finances. First Horizon can help you navigate these unexpected and unprecedented times.
The America Saves pledge is a call to action for Americans to commit to saving successfully. First Horizon is proud to be one of 2,000 organizations committed to helping you save and to achieving financial stability. (Info at https://americasaves.org/)
Here are five savings tips everyone should consider:
Pay yourself first. Move money from your checking to your savings account automatically. Whether saving for education expenses, retirement or all things in between, this is one of the easiest ways to reach a goal.
Set goals. Start by thinking of things important to save for. Are you getting married? Do you plan to go back to school? Savers who have a plan are twice as likely to save successfully.
Save for the unexpected. Use the 50-20-30 budget rule to save. Typically, 50% goes to priority needs such as your mortgage or rent, car payments, utilities and groceries. Set aside 20% to savings, which can include adding money to an emergency fund, making IRA contributions to a mutual fund account, and investing in the stock market. Commit that 30% goes to your wants; the non-essentials such as entertainment and food delivery from your favorite restaurant, etc.
Prepare for retirement. Retirement will probably arrive quicker than you may possibly realize. Preparing for retirement is especially hard when you are focused on the present. It’s a fact that very few of us have a plan for retirement that is comparable to how we’re living now. So, save today for tomorrow!
Reduce your debt. This is something you don’t hear as often: paying down your debt is saving. When you actively reduce your debt, you save on interest. When you pay on time, you save on late fees and maintain a higher credit score – which will save you money long-term.
If you are feeling unsure or uneasy about your finances, consider America Saves Week as a call to action. You can take additional steps by attending workshops and by scheduling a personalized financial wellness check with First Horizon.
No matter where you bank, First Horizon is here to provide expert financial guidance and advice. You can schedule a virtual or in-person check-up at www.FirstHorizon.com/appointment and enter the banker code GB12963. Be on your way to further financial empowerment.
Dave Miller is president of First Horizon Bank’s East Tennessee region.

Professor Virginia Raguin Speaks in Rehm
Published: Friday, October 4, 2013
Updated: Sunday, October 6, 2013 17:10
On Wednesday, Sept. 18, Holy Cross faculty, staff, students, and the general public gathered in Rehm Library to listen to Professor Virginia Raguin, Distinguished Professor of Humanities, Head, Art History. Prof. Raguin’s talk was titled “Pre-Muslim Inspiration for Sinan’s Istanbul Mosques Under Suleyman the Magnificent”.
Prof. Raguin’s inspiration came from a trip she took this past summer with her husband. The two went on a thirteen day tour of Turkey. “It was very unexpected,” Professor Raguin commented, “so we figured why not?!”
Prof. Raguin then began discussing the Roman Emperor Constantine and his influence on Istanbul. The first Christian Emperor of Rome, Constantine created many Christian buildings in present-day Istanbul (then Constantinople). Constantine’s influence led way to more buildings being built, influencing the Byzantines.
In particular, Prof. Raguin mentioned the Byzantine structure Hagia Sophia, or the Church of Holy Wisdom. Hagia Sophia was started in A.D. 537 and commissioned by Emperor Justinian. Hagia Sophia was built by a scientist and a mathematician, so there were no figural decorations. Instead, “there was no elaborate decoration,” stated Prof. Raguin,”but rather geometric order.”
Hagia Sophia is also considered to be “mesmerizing” and “iconic”, with beautiful mosaic remnants and patterns. When discussing why people still consider this building such a wonderful work of art, Professor Raguin observed that “we are social creatures, we learn from each other, inspire each other, and admire each other”. Not all art is necessarily complex, but rather whether or not a viewer feels or thinks something when he or she observes a work of art.
Fast-forwarding to the creation of the Suleymaniye Complex of the sixteenth century, Hagia Sophia’s clearly presents a geometric pattern influenced by symmetry that the Emperor Suleyman the Magnificent and his architect, Sinan, utilized.
The fantastic use of tiles and geometric patterns creates an airy, heavenly space for viewers to use their imaginations. “Human beings desire dignity and beauty,” remarked Prof. Raguin,” there has to be a sense of purpose to the work of art and effort must be put into it.”
After the talk, Prof. Raguin’s husband, who provided all the photos for her slideshow, offered a crash course on high-density range photography for interested students. Overall, Prof. Raguin’s presentation gave the audience insight into the world of art and architecture, and how different people can speak volumes to the world through these two mediums.

For instance, chronic stress is the most harmful to our health and wellbeing. It triggers stress responses for an extended period, leaving us exhausted and emotionally drained. On the other hand, eustress can be very beneficial, and is even necessary for optimal health. When you understand your eustress level, it can help you manage other types of stress as well. The Wim Hof Method will help you turn negative stress into positive stress and raise the level of eustress in your body.
Turn your distress into eustress
Eustress and distress are two forms of stress that respectively have a mainly positive and mainly negative influence. Eustress is a recognizable form of stress for the body, and is short-lived. After sustaining such a stress boost, the body is able to fully recover. By repeating and successfully recovering from eustress, we build up more resistance to the stressor. One might say that your stress fitness increases. Distress, by contrast, is an unplanned form of stress that your body is not yet able to deal with. Distress gives a greater stress response in comparison to eustress, and you need longer to recover from it. We experience distress as a negative emotion, and a 100% recovery takes much longer than the recovery of eustress.
Whenever someone talks about stress , they often refer to the negative side of the term. However, there are certainly benefits to it. That is because stress is a natural reaction to a physical, emotional, or mental change. Your body adapts and tries to restore its internal balance. The causes of stress are endless, and vary from a good workout to a hectic working day to a bruised knee. This makes stress a natural phenomenon, and certainly not negative in all cases. Stress ensures that we are sharp at the right moment and that we can adapt to new circumstances.
In addition, everyone experiences stress differently. For example, a presentation to a full house for person A will be a lot of fun, while person B worries about it for weeks. How you react to stress sources or load is completely personal and depends on several factors. Through good self-examination, you gain insight into your sources of stress, so you can better deal with them.
By putting yourself to the test, you experience which forms of stress work positively or negatively for you. By regularly taxing yourself and recovering from it properly, your resistance to stress grows. For example, sources of distress (negative) can become eustress (positive) over time.
How the Wim Hof Method creates eustress
The Wim Hof Method helps you to manage and increase the level of eustress in your body. By exposing your body to cold —by taking a cold shower or having an ice bath— you are constantly challenging your body. The method teaches you to focus and stay calm during the immediate stress that the cold brings. You become able to get your body under control and you will notice that you also get less affected by other stressors. Through the power in your body and mind, you can convert distress into eustress. The Wim Hof Method is a very powerful method, that can help you to feel more confident, motivated, stronger, and less stressed.
Practice the Wim Hof Method
Are you convinced of the positive effects of the Wim Hof Method? You can already start today from within the comforts of your own home! How easy is that? Practicing the method can be done by following our step-by-step video courses. Wim Hof himself will teach you how to practice his unique method and how you can increase the level of eustress in your body. The video courses are also available on the Wim Hof Method mobile app, where you get 10 one-on-one guided audio breathing sessions. Download the app to take the exercises with you wherever you go!
The three pillars
The Wim Hof Method is based on three pillars: exposure to cold, commitment, and breathing exercises. These three pillars help you to challenge your body. The combination of these three pillars is very effective for raising the level of eustress in your body. Already thousands of people have experienced the health benefits of the Wim Hof Method. Start today, and Wim Hof will guide you to a happier and healthier life!

12.5.3. TAX TREATY BENEFITS
Some countries allow treaty benefits for business or personal services. Independent contractors in valid immigration status who are residents of these countries may wish to apply for the treaty benefits to reduce the required 30 percent U.S. federal income tax that must be withheld from service payments. A listing of treaty benefits is available in IRS Publication 901.
Due to the IRS restrictions on the documentation requirements and the timing of applications, these applications must be processed through Accounting and Financial Management and cannot be provided by visitors or by departments.
B. Treaty Appointments
There are several steps a department must take to obtain treaty benefits for a visitor:
- Confirm the actual dates of the visit and the type of U.S. entry visa with the visitor.
- Provide the visitor with an official invitation letter to ensure a proper stamp is issued by the U.S. border authorities in the visitor’s passport.
- Call Tax Services in Accounting and Financial Management at 512-471-7820 to confirm that the visitor’s country of residence has treaty benefits available.
- If the visitor is eligible for treaty benefits, make a treaty benefit appointment with Accounting and Financial Management. Due to the limited availability of appointments, schedule the appointment early to ensure the visitor will have an appointment time available during the time the visitor will be at the university.
- If the visitor already has a U.S. tax number [Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)], the appointment will take no longer than 30 minutes.
- If the visitor does not have a U.S. tax number (SSN or ITIN), the appointment will take no longer than one hour.
Note: A visitor without a U.S. tax number can be issued a payment Nov. 16th thru Dec. 31st of each calendar year, but will not be eligible for tax treaty benefits during this time. Because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires up to two months for issuing U.S. tax numbers, it will not be possible to issue the payment to the visitor under the tax treaty benefit, which expires by the end of the year. Therefore, tax treaty appointments cannot be made for these visitors during this period.
- Collect all items on the B or J checklist except the I-94 electronic authorization. When the visitor arrives, make a copy of the I-94 electronic authorization if the visitor has one or pull a copy from the link provided on the checklist.
- All checklist items must be faxed to Accounting and Financial Management at 512-471-1651 and must be received at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Note: If the list contains security sensitive information, send via the Secure Message System.
If all checklists items are not received at least 24 hours prior to the appointment, the scheduled appointment will be canceled. If arrival/departure stamp in the passport or the electronic I-94 issued indicates a different immigration status than expected, treaty benefits may not be available. Keep a departmental copy of the checklist items to attach to the payment voucher when submitted for payment to Accounting and Financial Management. Call Tax Services at 512-471-7820 immediately after submitting the checklist items to confirm the appointment.
- Escort the visitor to Accounting and Financial Management in MAI 132 and attend the appointment with the visitor to provide assistance if needed. The department must bring all checklist items, and the visitor must bring his/her passport to the scheduled appointment, including a copy of the original electronic I-94 admission number retrieval.
Any visitor who is at the university for three days or less may not have time to complete the application process. If a treaty benefit appointment time is not available, or if the visitor’s schedule prevents attending a treaty benefit appointment with Accounting and Financial Management, tax will be withheld at a rate of 30 percent. If the visitor is eligible for treaty benefits, the visitor can claim the treaty benefits as part of filing the U.S. tax return form 1040NR.
C. Immigration Documents
Immigration documents are required for payment for services, including honorarium and stipends, regardless of whether treaty benefits are available or not. If treaty benefits are not available, the visitor must be informed of the mandatory 30 percent U.S. Federal income tax that must be deducted from the fee payment.
The documents required will be determined by the type of visa/immigration status of the visitor. These documents will confirm the legality of the payment and must be attached to the payment voucher. Some of these items can only be collected while the visitor is inside the U.S. A checklist of these required documents is available:

This is the post in which we say goodbye. We’re both leaving our respective jobs at Beliefnet, and so it’s time to step away from the blog. So, this is the post in which we say goodbye…by saying thank you. Thank you to you, the readers, for clicking and visiting and sharing the myriad ways […]
Reader Gwendolyn asked a great question in a recent comment: How do you feel about gray hair, and how do you act on those feelings?
For me, I have a deep-seated phobia of embarking on a hair-coloring regimen because it means adopting a permanent lifestyle of touch-ups and re-colors. Something about that obligatory every-3-months pattern just gives me the high-maintenance skeevies.
A few times, I’ve tried a “pigment” treatment that washes out gradually, as opposed to color dyes that grow out and expose the dreaded roots. The problem with the pigments is that they gave me a goth kind of look, pigmenting my highlights out along with the gray.
So I sport some stray grays, plus one sort of mini-gray streak, and I try to embrace it. My gray-hair heroine is “What Not to Wear’s” Stacy London, who told the LA Times recently, “I never wash that gray right out of my hair because I like when people call me Rogue or Cruella De Vil.”
This doesn’t even touch the health issues associated with hair-dying, most notably the use of ammonia in most commercial dyes. Anything that can cut through burnt-on lasagna crust shouldn’t be anywhere near my brain, says I. Not that there aren’t many ammonia-free hair colors on the market, but still….
So let’s dish – what do you do about your gray hair? I’d love to hear what you’ve tried–and why you’ve decided gray is or isn’t okay.
On a related note, have you tried our quiz yet: Are You Aging Gracefully?

How times change. Where once an output north of 300bhp was reserved for only the most serious of performance cars, now it’s the bare minimum a hatchback needs to be considered ‘hot’. Indeed, the BMW M140i wades into battle with an eyebrow-raising 335bhp.
Unlike rivals such as the Ford Focus RS and Volkswagen Golf R, the M140i doesn’t rely on fancy-pants four-wheel drive. Instead, it channels everything its 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder engine can muster to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the US would prosecute those responsible for a deadly attack on a US convoy in Nigeria, which he claimed was responding to a flood.
Although no group has claimed credit for the attack in Nigeria’s southeast Anambra State on Tuesday, an outlawed separatist group has been blamed for numerous raids on police and security forces in the area.
“We condemn in the strongest terms this attack. We will work closely with our Nigerian law enforcement colleagues in seeking to bring those responsible to justice,” Blinken said in a statement.
According to Blinken, who confirmed Nigerian police statements, the attack killed “at least” four persons.
According to a statement issued by Nigeria’s national police on Wednesday, seven individuals were murdered in the attack.
The two-vehicle convoy was carrying nine Nigerians, five of whom worked for the US government and four of whom were police officials.
Blinken stated that the convoy was on its way to a US-funded flood response project.
“We do not yet know the motive for the attack, but we have no indications at this time that it was targeted against” the embassy specifically, he said.
Saluting the role of local staff, Blinken said: “We express our heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed in the attack, and pledge to do everything possible to safely recover those who remain missing.”
The local Anambra State government in a statement earlier Wednesday also condemned what it called a “heinous and unprovoked” attack on the convoy.
But it suggested the US team had not properly informed local security officials of their movements.
“It is evident from reports by the various security agencies in the state that the visiting team made their own security arrangements and totally bypassed the existing security architecture in the state,” it said.
“The state government was not aware of the ‘humanitarian mission’ of the visiting team,” it said.
The Anambra government said the state’s crackdown on criminal gangs there had created tensions that risked provoking revenge attacks on police in areas like where the convoy was hit.
Nigerian officials often blame attacks in the southeast on the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network.
IPOB, which advocates for a separate homeland for the local ethnic Igbo people, has consistently denied any involvement in the violence.
Separatism is a controversial topic in Nigeria, particularly in the southeast.
More than one million people were killed in the country during a three-year civil war that erupted after Igbo army leaders declared an independent Biafra Republic in the southeast in 1967.
Separatists continue to operate in Nigeria’s southeast, where their attacks have increased in recent years, mostly targeting police or government institutions.

We are thrilled to see that you are interested and will provide you with a comprehensive study of the intriguiging subject of privacy and standardisation in the context of technological innovation. We hope this course will enthuse you to look further into privacy, personal data regulation and standardisation. Especially in the light of recent events it becomes more important to know about your (alleged!?) rights and freedoms.
The courses on privacy provide you with a historical perspective on the developments of privacy rights in an international context. The course on standardisation shows you the legal context and the scalable power of standardisation. Both topics are presented in a technological context. The course on Privacy in the Western World provides you with the differences between the USA and Europe, and the details of Europe and USA will be explained extensively in the follow-up courses.
The specialization will help you build a comprehensive opinion and it will challenge you in all areas of present-day privacy protection. It will link historic milestones to current limitations and offer you a journey through jurisdictions and technological fields alike.
Through video lectures and quizzes we endeavor to build a solid foundation for you to construct a well-founded opinion on privacy and standardisation. Last but not least we sincerely hope you enjoy the course!

It’s no secret that our furry canine friends love their siesta. In fact, the average cat spends about 70% of its life sleeping and much of the remaining 30% getting into all sorts of mischief. The predisposition for cats to snooze is embedded in their DNA. Cats are literally born to sleep!
Once you get past how adorable cats look while sleeping, you’ll notice their peculiar sleeping behavior. Cats sleep anywhere and have almost uncountable sleeping positions. Here are some of the most common sleeping positions every cat owner should know.
Click to Jump Ahead:
The 18 Most Common Cat Sleeping Positions
Cats are inherently solitary, and it’s no surprise they like sleeping by themselves in a comfortable space. Sometimes they might cuddle with their own species or with other friendly pets. Here are a few solitary sleeping positions and others that include their furry counterparts.
The 13 Healthy Sleeping Positions
1. Curled Into a Ball
Cats love to curl up into furry balls before drifting into dreamland. This curled-up position, popularly known as the crescent, is a staple for most cats. This position helps cats retain as much heat from the body for added warmth. It also protects the cat’s sensitive parts, like its stomach and internal organs.
This sleeping position comes instinctively with cats, especially wild ones. It’s the safest position for them to get some shut-eye.
2. The Bread Loaf Position
This is another common sleeping position where the cat sits upright and tucks the front paws under its body, and drifts into sleep. It’s called the loaf position because the cat somewhat resembles a loaf of bread.
Cats don’t usually sleep in the loaf position for deep sleep. This is usually a quick snooze that takes no longer than five minutes. Cats still maintain considerable alertness in this position and can easily scurry away should they sense an external threat.
3. Side Sleeping
Cats also love to sleep on the side with their legs stretched out. Your cat sleeping on its side next to or near you signifies trust. Lying on its side exposes all its vital organs to external threats. Side sleeping means the cat is super comfortable around you.
However, sleeping on its side also means the cat can spring into a sprint with a finger snap. The cat can scamper to safety before the threat gets hold of it.
4. The Monorail
The monorail is when cats sleep on narrow surfaces, with some parts of their body dangling off the surface. This is a comfortable sleeping position that we can trace back to the cat’s ancestors dangling on branches while catching some quality sleep. It’s also a safe sleeping position since cats can jump to safety should they feel threatened.
5. The Filler
Cats can’t resist hopping into an open container to sleep snugly inside it. If you leave your mixing bowl or shoe box unattended, you’ll likely find an adorable cuddly feline enjoying a short nap.
Cats usually “melt” into containers to sleep if they feel a threatening presence in their space. The containers are an excellent hiding spot where they can enjoy a quick snooze without worrying about anything harming them. However, sleeping in this position makes it hard for them to scamper to safety should they be caught unawares.
6. Sitting Upright
If you’re lucky, you might get your cat sleeping in an upright seated position. This isn’t too common because it’s an unnatural position and also exposes their sensitive bellies. However, most cats sleep in the position after they accidentally drift off into sleep while grooming their bellies. It’s an alert position, allowing them to dart off should something startle them.
7. On Their Backs
Cats rarely sleep on their back because doing so exposes their sensitive tummies and other vital organs. However, if you’re lucky, you might spot your cat on its back with its front legs resting on the belly or stretched out.
Sleeping on its back means the cat feels comfortable and secure around your presence. Still, resist the urge to scratch its belly while it sleeps on its back. It might instinctively attack and give you a quick nip or scratch you.
8. The Superman Pose
This is the go-to position for cats when lying on soft, fuzzy surfaces. The cats stretch their front legs and lie bellies flat on the surface. The hind legs are also extended outwards, allowing the belly to feel the softness of the surface it rests on.
The superman pose is a favorite for cats, protecting their sensitive bellies. It also allows them to spring into a sprint in case of an external threat. Lying on soft material on their bellies also allows them to conserve body heat. The cats may assume this sleeping position on tiles and wooden surfaces in hot weather.
9. The Pretzel
The pretzel sleeping position can best be described as haphazard. It’s when your cat sleeps with its arms and head facing all directions, making it look like a furry pretzel. Surprisingly, the pretzel, or contortionist, position is quite intentional.
With parts of the cat’s body facing different directions, it’s hard for predators to predict its next move. It also gives the cats a complete feel of the environment because its limbs and face are all over the place.
10. The Kitty Pile
If you own a kindle of kittens, you’ve probably seen them bundle up together to sleep. This sleeping position, known as the cat pile, allows for maximum warmth and security. Sometimes the kittens pile with their mom to get some quality sleep and wake up to a generous helping of mom’s milk.
Cats sleeping together shows that they enjoy a healthy social bond. It’s a sign that they trust each other and feel comfortable around themselves. Sometimes the kitty pile transcends species, so don’t be surprised to see your cat piled up with your dog. This is always a good sign.
11. Tucked In
Cats sometimes beat their owners to their own beds. It’s not uncommon to find your furry feline friend tucked inside your comforter, especially if you’re used to snuggling up with it at night.
The tucked-in sleeping position allows the cat to maximize their body heat by curling up inside bedding. It’s also a safe position since they can hide from threats under the blankets. Plus, it presents the perfect opportunity for you to cuddle with your furry friend.
12. Paws Over the Eyes
Cats sleeping with their tiny paws over their eyes is the epitome of beauty. The paws provide insulation from the cold and protect the eyes from harsh light and air pollutants like dust and pollen.
Be sure to take a quick snapshot of your furry friend if you catch them sleeping in this position and post it on social media to share the cuteness.
13. Sleeping With Its Tongue Out
A cat sleeping with its tongue out doesn’t mean to tease you. This adorable sleeping position shows your cat is comfortable and content. Sometimes cats get so comfortable while sleeping that they relax their jaws, and the tongue comes slipping out.
The 5 Unwell Cat Sleeping Positions
Some sleeping positions may indicate that your cat may be unhealthy. Some of them include the following.
1. Sleeping Next to the Water Bowl
Some cats might find the spot next to the water bowl a comfortable solace to sleep. However, sometimes the cat might rest near the water bowl because it’s thirsty and dehydrated. Gently pinch the skin between its shoulders and check whether it reverts to its normal position quickly. If it doesn’t, your cat is likely dehydrated and needs water.
This dehydration could be a sign of a more severe underlying condition. Your cat could have kidney disease if this dehydration is coupled with frequent urination, weight loss, and bloody urine. Excessive urination and visible lethargy could be a sign of diabetes. Take your cat to the vet if you notice any of these symptoms.
2. Sleeping With Its Face Down
Cats sometimes sleep with their faces if they need privacy or want to keep their faces warm. However, when your sociable cat starts to sleep with its face down during warm weather, you should be worried. This is especially true if it presses its face down while in the loaf position.
- Decreased appetite
- Uncoordinated walking
The above symptoms could indicate anything from liver poisoning to brain tumors. Early diagnosis and treatment by a licensed veterinarian could save your precious cat’s life.
3. Sleeping in the Same Position
Have you noticed your cat sleeping in the same position for too long? Cats have a sleep cycle of about 104 minutes. They might wake up in between or after the cycle to change positions or find a new sleeping spot. Cats sleeping for too long in the same position could indicate a problem.
An unhealthy cat may be too weak to change positions and also sleep much longer than it usually does. If so, check for other symptoms of illness and contact a licensed vet for advice on ensuring your cat’s health.
4. Sleeping While Hidden Away
Cats are solitary by nature, and it’s normal for them to seek some peace and quiet away from open spaces to get some sleep. However, if your cat completely avoids sleeping with you or in the open, then something might be wrong.
Injured or unwell cats usually isolate themselves until they feel better. Your cat hiding away to sleep is a sign that you should call the vet.
5. Eyes Half Open
Unlike humans, cats can sleep with half their eyes open. Cats have a third eyelid known as the nictitating membrane. This eyelid protects the eye from foreign objects and also keeps it moist. When felines sleep with their eyes partially open, they expose this membrane.
While cats sleeping with half their eyes open is normal, some symptoms coupled with this behavior might indicate health issues. They include:
- Swollen eyes
- Frequent eye-pawing
Your cat could have a foreign body trapped in its eye or a blocked tear duct. Use sterile eye wash or tap water to dislodge the foreign object from your cat’s eye. Visit the vet for more severe health complications.
Sufficient sleep is imperative to a healthy and happy cat. Cats need sleep to conserve energy and recharge. It’s your responsibility as a cat parent to ensure a safe, comfortable, and conducive space for your cat to sleep.
Consider investing in a high-quality cat bed or scooching for your cat to share the bed or sofa with you. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for any signs of illnesses like irregular sleeping patterns and positions. A licensed veterinarian will help address any health issues with your cat for a healthy feline.

Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) August 17, 2007
EcoNugenics®, an integrative health and supplement company, announced, today, a declaration of war on Metabolic Syndrome with the launch of, Metabolic Defense™. This natural formulation safely and effectively helps manage the cluster of dangerous symptoms called Metabolic Syndrome. This condition has gained widespread media attention recently due to the Framingham Observational Study that noted a 40% greater incidence of Metabolic Syndrome among adults consuming soft drinks.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), Metabolic Syndrome afflicts over 50 million adults in the U.S. It involves a cluster of three or more of the following conditions: obesity, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, increased risk of blood clotting and elevated C-reactive protein in the blood. Each of these conditions, individually, can lead to a higher incidence of diabetes, heart attack or stroke. When three or more are present in one person, it's often deadly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over six million people are hospitalized each year in the U.S. due to cardiovascular disease, alone, and 950,000 of them die. The economic costs are estimated to be over $350 billion.
Isaac Eliaz, M.D., the formulator of Metabolic Defense says that Metabolic Syndrome can be prevented or reversed. He believes that lack of balance plays a key role in triggering a genetic tendency towards Metabolic Syndrome. This imbalance occurs in our nutrition, lifestyle, sleep habits and stress. "I truly believe that certain lifestyle and dietary changes, together with proper supplementation can prevent or reverse Metabolic Syndrome and its harmful consequences," said Dr. Eliaz. "What is clear is that Metabolic Syndrome has become an epidemic and the health care system needs to provide tools to address it." Dr. Eliaz is a pioneer in addressing childhood obesity, and his major concern is that Metabolic Syndrome is being seen in younger and younger individuals. This provided the impetus and urgency for developing Metabolic Defense. His formulations have the highest quality ingredients that have been clinically tested to insure safety and effectiveness.
As a medical doctor who has also been trained in Chinese and Tibetan medicine, Dr. Eliaz drew upon the properties of these traditional practices, as well as cutting edge modern science to provide a supplement that addresses Metabolic Syndrome.
Metabolic Defense helps maintain key metabolic functions. The minerals, nutrients, and herbs in this formula are combined to synergistically:
- Help maintain healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose
- Balance cellular processes fueled by glucose metabolites
- Help decrease sugar cravings
- Decrease fat and sugar absorption
- Assist in reversing insulin resistance
EcoNugenics was founded in 1995 with a commitment to offering premium dietary supplements and nutraceuticals based on the best of modern science integrated with the ancient wisdom of traditional and complementary therapies. The company is dedicated to five basic principles, which include innovation in product formulation, thorough scientific research, ongoing clinical validation, customer education, empowerment and superior quality control.

Overview: The French government authorised doctors to prescribe hydroxychloroquine and the combination of lopinavir and ritonavir to be used to treat patients with COVID-19.
The drugs were approved by the Council of Public Health and were recommended for patients with pneumonia or oxygen deficiency. Paracetamol and rivotril were also authorized to be used in an injectable form.
In order to ensure the drugs are available to patients, the bill prohibited pharmacies from exporting hydroxychloroquine or lopinavir/ritonavir.
These drugs can only be sold by pharmacies to people holding a prescription from an authorized doctor. The government also limited the sale of paracetamol to two boxes per customer and prohibited the online sale of paracetamol. In the case that drugs intended for human use ran out, they could be substituted with veterinary drugs used for similar therapeutic purposes.

Lady Smoke has been born and the Ash Princess has fallen. Theo already feeling more like herself again; no longer wearing a crown of ashes and has her rightful title now. However, her people are still being tortured and enslaved under the Kaiser and Theo is miles away from her throne and country. In order for her to get those back she will need to secure an army. And securing an army meant she had to trust the dreaded pirate, Dragonsbane, who is also her aunt. According to Dragonsbane, the only way Theo can get an army is if she marries a husband; something an Astrean Queen hasn’t and shouldn’t do. She seeks help and allies from anyone that she can reach, but every time she gets so close, she falls back down again. As she fights to unravel the secrets and mysteries, she realizes that Dragonsbane is harboring secrets of her own. On top of that, Blaize has been having strange episodes and Theo has taken Prinz Soren, the Kaiser’s son, hostage. Will they still be able to survive the enemy’s attacks if they were already internally ripping each other apart?
I love this book and this trilogy and I can’t wait until I finish the third one! I whole book is filled with suspense and thrills. The romance is perfect and love all the drama. As each character fights to survive with their own intentions in mind, they have to figure out everyone else’s true motive as well. Everybody isn’t who they seem to be and everyone has dark secrets locked away, while others hide them in plain sight. The book was really political and tons of scheming. Usually in a trilogy the second book suffers the second book syndrome. But to me, Lady Smoke was an amazing sequel to Ash Princess. It shows how Theo really struggles about her own identity and how she fights to not lose her true self. But obviously it is war inside her mind as she tries to free Theodosia and Lady Smoke after being Theo and the little Ash Princess for years. How she had buried away the girl she was and now she is wrestling to try and find her. That was one of the main points that really intertwined the first and second book together. I would rate it 9/10, because even though I love the romance, I kinda hoped it had evolved some more.

Because of its ubiquity, malicious online actors have long favored email as a favored attack vector. Email attacks take a variety of forms, with increasing potential for trouble:
● Old fashioned scams, mailed in mass quantities, asking for bail bond, foreign cash account designations and the like. Few people are not on to these scams.
● Fakes coming from hacked accounts that include the recipient’s address, often containing a PDF, picture or hyperlink containing or leading to malware.
● Phishing from familiar institutions such as banks, internet service providers, or retailers asking for account verification, credit card information, or password resets.
● Highly targeted, well-crafted messages written by people with knowledge of the targeted organization, containing a request for data that would be highly plausible to the recipient. Like less sophisticated phishing, these messages appear to come from a legitimate sender doing expected business.
It is this fourth type that has chief information security officers, program managers and agency executives the most worried because of how real they seem. Even employees well trained in the dangers of e-mails can ⎯ and frequently do ⎯ fall for these. Moreover, they undermine employees’ sense of trust in all internal email. That can potentially harm productivity or disrupt operations. Such well-crafted messages coming from federal agencies to citizens can do similar harm.
So how to deal? For some answers, Federal News Radio convened a panel of federal and industry experts for insight into the latest best practices and technologies to protect organizations from email-derived fraud.
● Ping Look, executive advisor for security and awareness at Optiv
● Bhagwat Swaroop, executive vice president and general manager for email security at Proofpoint
● Sean Lang, chief information security officer at the Library of Congress
● Cameron Dixon of the National Cybersecurity Assessment and Technology Services branch, at Homeland Security’s National Protection and Programs Directorate
● Capt. Michael Dickey, commanding officer of the Coast Guard Command, Control, Communications, and IT Service Center.
Watch the webinar as they discuss a critical technology for email authentication, the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance policy and its associated protocols. Thanks for the most recent Homeland Security Department’s Binding Operational Directive, federal agencies are required to begin developing plans for implementing DMARC.

New parcel from AE has just arrived after 6 months. 2 x 16 LCD display. Need to do some very fine soldering (16 Pins) to connect a I2C module to it. This reduces the 16 input pins to 4 input pins bla bla bla..
when checking on my soldering iron...well known brand with screw in tips it was well past its soldering electronics and only suited for tinning wire. So no easy home made solution to new tips.
But it turned out not that difficuilt.
1) It turned out to be a M4 x 0.75 tread. standard M4 is usually 0.7mm pitch.
fortunately I have one of those very cheep set of tap and dies, but with all the sizes.
Good enough to recut brass screw, but not all the way....
Left a few 0,7 treads so I can screw the nut back on again, in order to be used when ever you want to remove the tip again. Will solder to tip the first time I use it. Once cold this will be fixed so can use a spanner to remove.
Takes me a month to get it to work.
Lots of reading up. Not from the digital age, but like to try and keep up.
Want so see if I can build a level to attach to my drill, that will actually display the actual angle of the drill.
Not sure what to use as a display...4 x 7 Segment or a 0.96 OLED. Must be compact...

Kundan Jewellery, Antique gold Jewellery, temple, Jadavu, Polki Jewellery, and designer Jewellery are the most popular among bridal Jewellery designs. ANTIQUE SAPPHIRE AND NATURAL PEARL BANGLE BRACELET. Natural Rosecut Diamond Polki 925 Solid Silver Wedding 3 Bangle Jewelry For Sale. We own several Turquoise Mines and have cut Turquoise into cabochons for the Turquoise Jewelry industry throughout the Southwest
for our Jewelry production. In India, a woman’s jewelry is linked to her status in society and may depict the Hindu god’s mantra symbols, such as the Omkara, the root of all sounds and the highest emblem. Bracelets have been used to protect and decorate, in rituals, and as symbols of social status.
The Windsors have been ruling the Monarchy since 1910, and there’s no sign of it changing any time soon. Historically and culturally, both genders have been wearing bracelets and bangles singly or in multiples. What makes this new cuff bangles different than the plethora of vintage-style bracelets in the jewelry market today is that these are not your average design reproductions created from images or imaginative concepts dreamed antique bracelet up by modern designers. How fabulous to think that these designs are so ancient. Yet many people bypass this incredibly useful tool because they think it’s too hard to create. Cruise the aisles until you find a book of the desired width and height and something with a spine that’s a bit thicker than your tablet.
With a sharp blade, some glue, and patience, you can turn a hardcover book into a retro case for your tablet. Any pair of gloves can be touchscreen compatible with the tiniest bit of stitching with conductive thread. But that love goes a bit sour in the winter when your gloves make it impossible to swipe and press those animated buttons. You can easily blow a chunk of cash on a manufactured cover, or you can make something as effective – and much cooler – by gutting an old hardcover book. By tapping your inner seamstress, you can make about any gloves work with a touchscreen by sewing conductive thread into the fingers.

For the mothers amongst the readers here, you will remember the breathing exercises recommended for labour.
Deep breaths and relaxation were key to delivering the baby without pain killers.
I am transiting through a life experience which is causing pain unlike anything I have ever experienced.
It starts in the morning. If I have slept at all, I wake and as my wits gather themselves something in my chest cavity clenches and descends to my boots.
I will then be tricked into thinking the pain has passed. I may have a period of minutes where the pain is absent but without warning it floods back and washes over me like a tsunami, causing my knees to weaken, my breath to become shallow and my stomach to clench.
Work, which used to be such a saviour for me, a mechanism whereby I could blot out the world, has let me down this time. I can lose whole days in front of an empty screen with nothing written; no thoughts captured.
The only thing I have is my breath. I won’t drug or drink myself into oblivion as I know from my work with clients that the pain remains – the substances simply defer the inevitable.
When you find yourself in a place of soul searching anguish remember your breathing and try taking slow, steady deeper breaths and practice breathing out the pain. Nothing New Age or wacky about it…just a simple mechanism for changing your state from one of unbearable anguish to bruised and hurting calm.
