Shipping container homes are now becoming an increasingly popular alternative for home builders looking for something different. They are cheap, simple to assemble and have huge green lifestyle benefits. For many excited architects and builders shipping containers are providing a new stunning form of architecture, where containers can be used as building blocks and large structural elements for houses, offices and even city structures.
Shipping container homes are constructed with sea containers. They are very affordable and extremely robust to become the framework for a house. Building a shipping container home is pretty easy. Your builder places one or more overseas sea containers onto a standard foundation, cut doors & windows into the overseas sea container walls.
Next they line with insulation the modified container properly to resist cold & heat, decorate it and voila! – your overseas sea containers have evolved into your very own ultra modern home. The modular structure of overseas sea containers means that they can be relatively attached to each other. The very nature of this allows architectural designers to design both interesting and unique home designs.
Shipping Container Home Design
The cost of a 40-feet cargo container is about US$1200. As you can imagine, building a house made from shipping containers is very affordable. In general, the cost to build container house is half that of the cost of building a conventional house. Container homes are low cost, very strong, have a fast construction time, easy to modify, and shipping containers are widely available. cargo container house, sea container construction.
Shipping container houses are also a very popular building project using this handy material. These kinds of houses are an ideal building project because all of their architectural materials can be shipped to site, then modified to meet the particular specifications of the project. cargo container house, sea container construction. cargo container house, sea container construction.
Next, think about the total costs associated with building a cargo container home. Shipping containers by themselves are relatively cheap, but it takes a lot of time and labor to transform it into a cozy home. cargo container house, sea container construction.
Shipping containers (also called “cargo containers”) make an ideal building material because they are plentiful, weather-proofed, and built to last. With the tons of freight moved every year across the oceans, there is a massive surplus of cargo containers around the world. cargo container house, sea container construction.

Most standard ISO steel shipping containers are made of heavy gauge steel and are impossible to break into, unless you have an electric saw with a steel bid and electricity and you plan on making a lot of noise. cargo container house, sea container construction.
Believe it or not there is a group of architects that have developed some very stylish residences out of the humble shipping container. Not only residences, there have also been hundreds of metal shipping containers used for museums, restaurants and weekend houses. You would not even realize that these beautiful and creative structures were once hauling supplies across the country. cargo container house, sea container construction.
In addition to this deluxe version of a prefab home Mr. Kalkin is also planning on selling a single shipping container living space called an A-Pod. This will be equivalent to a studio apartment, and will sell for under $100,000.00. cargo container house, sea container construction.
First, you need to realize that a shipping container home is definitely not a traditional house. This may seem obvious, but it’s an important factor to consider. Even though homes built out of cargo containers seem really cool now, you may find that the novelty wears off after a few years. cargo container house, sea container construction.
One of the ways is recycling or processing used materials into new products. For example, many books are now printed on the recycled paper, which allows saving millions of trees. Furthermore, breaking the stereotypes of traditional housing, more and more people make use of old shipping containers for building eco-friendly houses. cargo container house, sea container construction.

Furthermore, container home itself may become a symbol of personal commitment to green living. Such home will motivate its inhabitants and even neighbors to make other green choices, such as using alternative energy, recycling wastes, consuming water sparingly, etc. cargo container house, sea container construction.
Another art-related building project that uses shipping containers is the Nomadic Museum. This museum, designed by architect Shigeru Ban and artist Gregory Colbert, is constructed entirely out of cargo containers. Due to its modular nature, it is easily deconstructed, transported, and reassembled in various locations. cargo container house, sea container construction.
The main concerns would be getting the plans past the building department. There is a new uniform building code for shipping container homes beginning to work its way around the industry though, so passing code could be more easily achieved. cargo container house, sea container construction.
But before you make the choice to construct your very own container home, there are a few things you should consider. Just because container homes are becoming very popular with the green building set doesn’t necessarily mean that you should make the plunge yourself. cargo container house, sea container construction.
There are areas stormy areas where mobile homes are quite dangerous because of their weak resistance to high winds. But a container home withstands high wind pressure easily. Buildings made of shipping containers have a Lego-like, industrial feeling, which is appealing to a lot of people. There is also a possibility to hide the steel frame, so nobody can tell your home is made out of containers. cargo container house, sea container construction.
You will also need to ship the container to your building site, which might be more expensive than you think. Foundation work also needs to be done, which tacks on extra cost. Before you purchase a shipping container for your new home, consult with a knowledgeable building contractor who can accurately calculate your total cost. cargo container house, sea container construction.
We already have successful examples of container homes. Container City in London, Canadian Ecopods, and the biggest container city Keetwonen in Amsterdam are just the few examples to mention here. It means the start of global container housing movement has already been made and we need to further develop the idea. cargo container house, sea container construction.
These considerations should not dissuade you from building a shipping container home. They are cheap, efficient, and environmentally friendly structures that can make a unique home. But, as in all major projects, it’s very important to take into account all of the snags that could come your way. By planning ahead, you can make sure that your cargo container home project gets done right. cargo container house, sea container construction.
The shipping containers are stacked, painted and customized to form the outer structure of the houses. Glass ceilings, walls and windows add light and give the structures a very bright and airy look. cargo container house, sea container construction.
Shipping containers can also be used for emergency housing or shelters. The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan has left 90,000 to 100,00 people homeless. Sea containers could be used to house the homeless people and provide them very much needed privacy and relief. They could also be used to create temporary schools and offices. The build time will be very short which is what the country needs right now. cargo container house, sea container construction.

Last month I briefly mentioned some of the outlandish experiences I have had as a producer/director and actor. As I consistently hold true, I never say I have seen it all, because that is the best way to have the theatre Fates send you something new and beyond belief. However, my column last month left readers asking for some specific awkward events of craziness, ridiculous bouts of ego, stunning unprofessional behavior, and unheard of incidents hard to believe, but nonetheless true.
I hesitate to refer to the following tales as “my favorites,’ for some of them still make me shudder to retell. Some have become nothing more than humorous anecdotes – as time has a way of turning dramatic incidents into comedic episodes, especially in our industry. I will start by stating that all names have been redacted, and some details left out in order to protect the guilty.
My tales begin with triplets. Many moons ago, I was directing a production of “Much Ado About Nothing.” The actress cast as the lead, Beatrice, told us she was shooting a commercial in a European country for the first week of the 8-week rehearsal process. We worked around her until she returned. Three weeks before opening, she came to ask that all of her blocking be changed and her costumes altered to adjust for her pregnancy with triplets. It turned out that she hadn’t actually been shooting a commercial, but was instead at a fertility clinic the week she was gone. She told us she accepted the role knowing she was going to be inseminated that week. In case the pregnancy didn’t take, she said, she would have the role of Beatrice to work on to ease her disappointment. Despite the very high-risk nature of her now revealed triple pregnancy, and doctor’s orders to stick to strict bed rest to insure the success of all three children, this actress insisted she wanted to continue in the role. Huge risk. Giant liability. Complete insanity. I replaced her.
“Postmortem,” by Ken Ludwig, is a favorite play of mine. I have done the show several times, but the first time was decades ago when I was playing the role of Bobby. Throughout the rehearsal process, we had some troubles with our leading man. Nobody was quite sure what was going on with him – hot and cold from night to night with regards to lines and blocking. On the final Friday performance of a four weekend run, I arrived to the theatre to be taken aside by the director who informed me that she thought the leading man “might have been drinking.”
He was plastered! He could barely speak coherently. He was staggering around backstage, and hugging everyone. A call to the president of the theatre organization resulted in a “show must go on” response. The stage manager brewed some strong coffee, and somebody had a box of See’s Candy that they started force-feeding him to get his blood sugar up. It was a disaster. He missed his first entrance, leaving us stuck on stage to adlib. When his lines did come out, they were barely understandable. A special intermission had to be called after the first scene. He started getting angry. He accused us all of sabotaging his performance, before we realized that in his drunken mind, he was doing and saying everything perfectly…. I laugh about it now, but it was a nightmare when it happened.
Alcohol has been a culprit in a few instances in my book of tales. Once I had two actresses leave the theatre in the middle of the performance to go to the bar next door to tie one on together. They came back tipsy and sloppy, and then caused another actor to miss his entrance due to their distracting antics back stage. It is never a good idea to leave the theater in the middle of a performance, even if your scenes are all completed or your character is dead. “I’ll come back in time for curtain call” can be famous last words. I once had an actor find himself locked out of the building. He had to wave through the door to catch the attention of actors on the stage to send someone around to unlock the door for him.
Then there was that time an actress actually left mid-performance to finish a phone call that had made her nearly an hour late to call time in the first place. Apparently a guy who knew a guy who worked with a guy who knew a guy who once saw Steven Spielberg in a crowded room wanted to introduce her to the guy who knew this guy. She directly told her fellow actors they would have to take over her lines in the further scenes of the play, and out the door she went to take advantage of this “tremendous opportunity.” No word on her upcoming roles in any Spielberg films….
Another locked door in a nontraditional venue once caused one of my actors to have to run around the entire building to the other side to make his entrance. He came on anxious and out of breath, and it was beautiful to see how realistic the response was from the other actors when he arrived in this condition from the wrong side of the stage. It reminds me of that episode of “Slings and Arrows.”
I once had an actor wear a baseball cap onto the stage during the final dress rehearsal of a classical production at an outdoor venue, because he “was cold” and couldn’t find the actual hat he had been given to wear by the costume team. Another time, an actor misplaced his boots, and wore his tennis shoes on stage for an actual performance.
I’ve seen costume failures galore. Falling dresses and skirts, flying wigs, blown out boot heels, split trousers (it’s happened twice to me on stage), uncooperative coats, capes, and cloaks – the list is long. Yet my favorite costume fail of all time is from a production of “Romeo and Juliet,” when the two leads found their costumes literally linked together after the final kiss of the balcony scene. Parting was no sweet sorrow. They couldn’t part at all – completely unable to pull themselves apart when his doublet clasp hooked on the laces of her bodice, it seemed to take forever for them to get unhinged. We all came unhinged watching it unfold before us! Hysterical.
From costumes to props. This leads to another classic Sabelism: Props Hate People!
I’ve worked with some props: A full size guillotine for a production of “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” real cars and motorcycles driven onto the stage for various productions, swords and weapons of a wide variety, food of many types, and a giant life-sized trolley for “Meet Me In St. Louis.” Rubber tires were a bad idea. They became a terrible idea when one burst on the stage directly in front of a floor mic, that was a giant boom, and then trolley had to be dragged off the stage by the cast and crew.
I’ve had blood effects spray the crowd when we didn’t want them to. I’ve had black powder flash pots smoke and smolder, and clear the entire audience in coughing fits. I’ve had guns that wouldn’t fire, and swords broken at the hilt. There have been doors that refused to open, doors that wouldn’t stay shut, pictures that have fallen off of walls, and walls that have fallen down. Once I had two actors get so into a combat sequence, one of them literally put a hole in the back wall of the theater with his rump.
Through 128 productions and more than 25 years as a producer/director, I have worked with more than 2,000 actors – technically a small sampling, when you consider you can throw a baseball in this town and easily hit 2,000 actors in one shot. This is why I know I have yet to see it all, but I sure have seen a lot. This is just a scratch on the surface of the tales of what I have seen. Stay tuned for next month’s column: “To See What I have Seen: The Auditions.” I think I’ll lead with the guy with the banana…..

We live with what was expected to be a possible Super Bowl preview, but since then it’s been anything but, with the Buffalo Bills hosting the Green Bay Packers for the Week 8 edition of Sunday Night Football.
Buffalo are fresh out after winning each of their last three games, and entered this competition 5-1 with the second-best EPA in the league for every mark played on either side of the ball. Josh Allen is the MVP’s roster, Stefon Diggs is at the top of his game, Von Miller has taken defense to a new level, and Tre’Davious White hasn’t even stepped onto the field yet.
Meanwhile, Green Bay is struggling hard, having lost three times in a row to giants, planes and captains. Aaron Rodgers is openly frustrated with just about everyone, and the defense just doesn’t live up to his potential. Rodgers has lost four games in a row only twice in his career: his first season as a starter in 2008, then again in 2016.
Will the billing continue to be rolled out, or will the packagers get back on track? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, keep it closed to our live blog throughout the evening as we update you on stats, scores and features.

Godsmack’s self-titled debut album from 1998 packs an aggressive set of one dozen emotionally dark songs, whose mournful lyrics sung by the groups powerful vocalist Sully Erna are very expressive. Reminiscent of heavy metal favorite Metallica and grunge bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden and ‘Alice in Chains’, Godsmack has combined several styles to produce a very unique sound of their own. Formed in 1995 in Boston, Sully Erna (who is a practicing Wiccan) along with with guitarist Tony Rombola, bassist Robbie Merrill and drummer Tommy Stewart first received notice when people began listening to Godsmack’s single “Whatever”. Popularity grew with songs such as “Keep Away” and “Voodoo”. My ratings for each song (out of 5 stars) are listed below:1. “Moon Baby” (5+). Starts softly, but suddenly awakens to powerful guitar and bass, as well as Sully’s dark vocals. Guitar aggressiveness later grows, as well as harmonized vocals.2. “Whatever” (5+). Fast-paced, very aggresive guitar and potent percussion mix with powerful & melodic vocals.3. “Keep Away” (5). Intense guitar takes center stage with the lyrics about wanting an exlover to stay away and features a guitar solo.4. “Time Bomb” (5). Aggressive vocals backed by aggressive guitar and percussion take center stage in this song which also features occassional silent or near-silent breaks.5. “Bad Religion” (4.5). Grungy song marked by aggressively plucked guitar & bass, as well as strong pitch changes.6. “Immune” (4). Slower song that begins with a spoken sample before being swallowed by Sully’s very grungy voice. Aggressive guitar comes through in the middle followed by a brief instrumental interlude. Good guitar riffs towards the latter part of the song.7. “Someone in London” (3.5). Slow, but very dark instrumental marked by strong bass and base drum. Sound effects include lightly heard screams before leading into the next song.8. “Get Up, Get Out!” (4). Faster tempo and aggressively riffed guitar back Sully’s aggressive vocals. Somewhat repetivite.9. “Now or Never” (3). Song begins softly but quickly crescendos instrumentally with aggressive guitar and percussion before the dark vocals begin. Not a particularly engaging song as it is somewhat long and monotonic.10. “Stress” (4). Faster and less dark song than the previous track. More engaging guitar and lyrics including a lengthy scream from Sully.11. “Situation” (4.5). Song begins with sounds reminiscent of a squeaky wheel, but is quickly taken over by aggressive guitar and bass with Sully’s wailful vocals. Good guitar riffs and solo.12. “Voodoo” (5+). One of the best songs on the album, starting with Sully’s funereal melodic vocals followed by strong percussion and bass with guitar in the background. Though the song itself is 4:40 minutes long, the track continues for another 4+ minutes of silence and lightly played percussion.Overall, I rate Godsmack’s self-titled debut album with 4 out of 5 stars. It’s powerfully dark music can be listened to repeatedly without becoming tiresome. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys grunge or dark rock.

After an Australian nurse's post on Facebook urged people to keep their fingernails short to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, people began to wonder what fingernail length is safe during this time.
When asked about the post, WebMD Medical Editor Dr. Neha Pathak, who is a board-certified primary care physician who focuses on both internal and lifestyle medicine told Insider that nails can harbor germs, but because the novel coronavirus is still being studied, it's not yet known exactly how long the COVID-19 virus can live on nails and skin.
Dr. Pathak said, "It's important to remember that we are still learning so much about this virus. It's only been known to us for about four months, so everything we say should be caveated with 'from what we know right now."
Pathak then explained that nails can certainly harbor germs, and it's quite possible that they can cause the spread of viruses- such as the coronavirus.
"Nails can absolutely harbor germs and allow for spread. We don't know yet how long the new coronavirus can live on our skin and nails, but certainly long enough to allow for spread if we don't clean our hands and nails properly," Pathak said.
Dr. Patak recommends that everyone try to keep their nails trimmed so that their nails do not reach over the top of their fingertip, as well as recommends that nail polish is removed. She also made reference to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendation for hospital workers to keep their nails trimmed.
There are plenty of things we should be doing during this time such as staying sage while grocery shopping, cleaning produce from the supermarket, and social distancing- but now consider adding keeping your nails short and free of polish to this list.

I love Nativity scenes. They call to me. When I wanted to find a small one that I could keep on display all year long, I knew just where to look: Nativity Sets on Novica.
When I first discovered this amazingly beautiful, delicate, and superbly sculpted Nativity, I knew I had to have it. This small, simple, yet elegant, white stone sculpture reflects the innocence and purity at the very heart of the Holy Family.
Egg-shaped to represent new life, the open sculpture features figurines of the Holy Family, Shepherd, Wise Men, Lamb, and Donkey. All are intricately carved inside the egg. The base is carved with rays spreading out from the center to the edge. The open window of the sculpture allows us to look inside at new family as they silently reflect on the newborn King.
I keep the Nativity near me, on my desk, beside my rosary. Each time I glance up, I see it. It brings a smile to my face and peace to my heart. It reminds me that I am never alone.
Juan Licas Coronado creates these beautiful sculptures from the delicate and fragile Huamanga Stone from the mines of central and southern Peru. His other works include the Angel in Prayer, White Garden Jewelry Box, and nine-piece Birth in Huamanga Nativity sculpture.
Of course, as with most beautiful creations, one leads to another. I have spent many happy hours gazing at the delightful Sculptures created by the talented artists featured here.Wood, Stone, Ceramic, Metals, Bronze, Glass, and more are crafted in to animals, religious-themes, abstracts, romance, music, folk art — any theme imaginable brought to life by the steady, sure hand of the sculptor. It is a feast for the eyes.
For my daughters, I am always seeking unique pieces of wearable art in the form of hand-crafted Jewelry. Jewelry is, in every sense, the most personal art. What one wears often defines that person’s innermost self. As a mother, I seek those special pieces that reflect my love and my respect for the two amazing young women that I love so dearly.
For Christmas this year, I gave my youngest daughter this hand-made silver Cross Pendant.
I am always so inspired by the treasures within Novica’s pages. There is something for everyone — imagination, curiosity, art, and design from every corner of the world. It’s all here!

Dark City: A Cyberpunk Movie that isThe Matrix’s Older, Neo-Noir Brother
You’ve probably heard this story before.
In a sleeping city, a protagonist awakens and explores philosophical questions as his mysterious, uniformed oppressors try to find him. Believe it or not, this article isn’t about Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in slow motion, but rather a movie that came a whole year before The Matrix. Despite the similarities, the Wachowski’s movie amazed the world and became one of the best known movies of all time. Meanwhile, Dark City was a financial failure and still remains a lesser-known cult classic.
Despite the similarities, director Alex Proyas’ movie is more than able to stand on its own two feet. Thanks to its inspiration from the detectives of film noir, this Aussie-American production was able to stand out from its trenchcoated brother while still making it one of the greatest science fiction movies of the 90s.
But for the love of all things cyberpunk, please watch the director’s cut.
Avoid the Theatrical Cut and Thank Me Later
In most movies, the difference between each cut is relatively minor. Each version has its fair share of fans. Such is true with Zack Snyder’s theatrical version of Watchmen, the director’s cut and the Ultimate Cut. Each version has its own merits. Sadly, the cuts of Dark City are more like Blade Runner’s infamous seven versions. Some of them try their best to talk down to the audience, and remove any kind of nuance or ambiguity from Ridley Scott’s original vision.
Like Blade Runner’s theatrical cut, the original version of Dark City also starts with narration. However, this narration not only explains everything about the world but also arguably spoils the entire story, removing all the mystery and tension the movie carefully sets up. In an interview with Proyas, he admits hating these changes and was glad to remove the narration from the director’s cut.
Obviously, there’s some other changes between the two versions, but the voiceover alone is a great reason to avoid the theatrical cut on a first watch. Trust me, I’ve had friends hate the movie just because of that narration alone.
Do yourself a favor, and mute the first few minutes of the movie if you can’t get your hands on the director’s cut.
A Whodunit that Spirals Out of Control
Dark City spirals all the way down. When J. Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) first wakes up, he is greeted with the body of a woman covered in spiral-shaped wounds. However, this shape continues to appear in the story in more and more bizarre ways.
In a nutshell, this is pretty much the best way to describe how Dark City ramps up its weirdness. The story starts like any grounded detective movie with a victim, a murderer and a runaway. As the plot goes on, some things start to feel off. As the spirals get weirder and weirder, the stakes keep rising to the point where the third act is almost completely different from the beginning. Don’t worry, it will all make sense in the end.
Stranger Danger in a Strange City
Just like its genre mix between nostalgic noir and futuristic sci-fi, the eponymous Dark City is a gorgeous mix of different genres. Of course, this choice was deliberate and gave the movie a unique look that made it age incredibly well. If you just want a movie with interesting sets and awesome stills, then no need to look any further.
However, J. Murdoch doesn’t have time to go sightseeing as he is being chased by men in black trench coats (without sunglasses, sadly). For some reason, they want something from Murdoch. As the movie goes on, this cat and mouse chase reveals more about the motives of the strange men in black as well as the world they live in.
Searching yourself while searching Shell Beach
Like many other of the science fiction greats, Dark City isn’t scared to explore the nature of our existence as well as what defines our humanity. When our protagonist wakes up, he has complete amnesia.
The only mission he has is to get to Shell Beach, the place shown in a postcard in his pocket. Despite how cliché the amnesiac storyline is, this plot doesn’t outstay its welcome. It’s not the main focus of the story. Instead, it serves as the seed for the main philosophical themes that slowly grow.
Despite its similarities with Blade Runner and The Matrix, the themes addressed in Dark City are different from the former two. Of course, I can’t go into too much detail without spoiling the movie. But if you want a movie that addresses the human mind as well as what makes us human, you won’t be disappointed.
Like other great science fiction movies, Dark City manages to address very interesting questions. while also creating an amazing plot. This cyberpunk movie has an interesting storyline and even devotes time for some great action scenes. Somehow, it manages to spin all these plates without neglecting either of them too much.That’s is why Dark City has become one of many people’s favorites.
Whether it’s good enough to beat The Matrix, I will leave for you to decide.
We know cyberpunk movies, so let us tell you what you’re missing. What’s timeless? What didn’t age so well? Share this article, and we’ll make the case for Dark City.
Did we miss something here? Was there an unforgettable scene or classic one-liner that just shouldn’t be left out? What are your favorite parts of this movie? Leave us a comment below, and we’ll try to update the article with your suggestions!


“Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else’s dreams?”
Ed Wood, Orson Welles played by Vincent D’Onofrio, 1994
Shawnee has always been a great place to live. One of the best parts is that, over the years, as our city has grown in size and population, we have been able to keep that small, warm, hometown feel. It is what we, at the Aztec Group, love about Shawnee, and it is our motivation to keep that feeling alive for generations to come. We believe that our downtown Shawnee area can, and will be even more than what it is today.
It has the potential to become a great place for people to not only live and work, but for all of us and others to visit, eat and drink, shop, and be entertained. A place for people to congregate and enjoy an evening out with friends to do some shopping, grab a drink and something to eat, and even see a movie. As the beautification of Nieman Road began, we recognized that Shawnee needed something more to entice new businesses and more people to come downtown…something that would be the start of resurgence…that one piece from which everything around it could flourish and prosper. The Aztec Theater can be just that…an iconic piece of Shawnee’s history that all of its residents can be proud of, and that people near and far will want to visit.
The Aztec will be that one shining piece that brings everyone back to downtown, as it did in the past. Existing downtown Shawnee businesses will greatly benefit from the increase in consumer pedestrian traffic, which in turn will entice new businesses to open in downtown Shawnee as well. Our city can grow by leaps and bounds, while still staying true to our heritage. With the Aztec Theater, our past is our future.
The City of Shawnee has taken an initiative, with revitalization efforts focused on our downtown Shawnee area. We at the Aztec Group LLC believe that our restoration and reopening of the historic Aztec Theater will be an integral part of the City’s initial plans to reinvigorate downtown Shawnee.

Magnesium Lowers CRP in Poorly Sleeping Adults
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
How well you get through your day and how well you sleep at night are highly inter-related. Daytime inflammation in excess leaves extra inflammation in your nerves at night which gets in the way of sleep. A new study with adults shows that 320 mg per day of supplemental magnesium1 can lower inflammatory CRP and help sleep.
Magnesium is one of the most common and widespread deficiencies, even in healthy people. A problem with sleep often represents a magnesium deficiency. Many people benefit from taking magnesium at bed to help sleep. However, even taking magnesium during the day to lower daytime inflammation (wear and tear) can help sleep.
If you don’t sleep well then you are more tired and more inflamed the next day. Thus, magnesium is a tool that can help you break out of this rut by lowering inflammation. You’ll sleep better, wake up rested, and have a less-inflamed day simply by starting out on a better footing.

The sighting came from a small telescope on the roof of a laboratory sat on the ice sheet three quarters of a mile from the geographic South Pole. First came the rumours. But then researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics went public. Their telescope had spotted indirect evidence of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time, from the earliest moments of the universe.
The scientists have not yet published their work, and no other team has confirmed the finding. Yet even without these mainstays of scientific rigour, excitement has swept through the community and into the world beyond. If confirmed, the observation will rank among the greatest scientific discoveries of the past 20 years. A Nobel prize is all but guaranteed.
When Marion Block Anderson, an altogether exceptional woman, was a freshman at Oberlin College in 1951, she reached out to “the quintessential modern genius” and asked him, “Why are we alive?” She later told Dave about the impetus for her letter:
“We were having one war after another — first we had the First World War, then we had the Second World War and I just couldn’t see any point to the whole thing. So I wrote him a letter and I said, ‘What’s the point of living with what we’re going through here — having one war after another?’”
Lo and behold, Einstein wrote back. While short, his letter extends with exquisite precision both the answer to the question about the meaning of life and his views on religion:

Superhero bash for a excellent four year old, I could be a little biased…my sweet boy also requested a plain chocolate cupcake just for him! Birthday Cakes For Girls – For a little girl you could take into account creating a princess, fairy, or mermaid cake, or a cake that is devoted to their favored doll or toy. Sports Cake: This is a great thought for practically any male in one’s life, whether or not they be five or one hundred and 5. She loves the warm weather and sandy beaches, but unfortunately, we live in Michigan exactly where it’s cold and snowy for her birthday. Both pans are from Wilton and would be excellent for your Spiderman theme birthday celebration.
You do not need to have to be a Professional Cake Decorator to make some of these and not only will it save you money to make your own, but you will also appreciate all the compliments and satisfaction that you did it yourself. I truly can’t authoritatively answer inquiries on substitutions either, as I have constantly followed this sponge cake recipe precisely as written. As a custom cake bakery we have a number of forms of cakes to delight your palate and senses.
If you can make a gorgeous cake that is coordinated to your subject’s tastes, than you can develop a cake that will leave an everlasting impression upon every person that will never ever be forgotten. Theme cakes are specially created cakes that are produced to portray a thing related to the theme of the birthday party. Based on the age of the birthday celebrant, you can design and style the cake that will match the age of the celebrant.
I have gotten many requests from readers asking me to make them a cake or a fondant wedding topper. Just mix 1 pint of typical whipping cream, ½ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 1/two tablespoons of chocolate liqueur collectively and pour into a Whipped Cream Dispenser. Some other cake ideas that boys may possibly take pleasure in are trains, trucks, airplanes, or pirates. I was really amazed by all these cakes but the a single that really puzzled me is the PIZZA! The candles on the cake hat light up whilst the bear moves his lips and sings the Delighted Birthday song!
This web page is not advertising a company I only make cakes for close friends and family. I am in fact attempting to generate a Spider-GIRL cake for my four year old daughter so I may well be in a position to use these suggestions to make it work. Please search for a local baker if you’d like a person to make a fondant decorated cake or wedding topper for you.

Pregnancy loss is heartbreaking for all mothers who suffer this experience, and it takes time to recover from emotional and physical pain.
However, some mothers also experience a less common reaction to pregnancy loss related to trauma. The traumatic event of pregnancy loss can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder in some women.
Here are some important facts to be aware of surrounding PTSD related to pregnancy loss:
1) Any traumatic event can result in post-traumatic stress, including pregnancy loss, according to Gary Brown, a licensed psychotherapist in Los Angeles, California.
However, a diagnosis for PTSD can’t be made until 30 days after trauma. Anything less than 30 days is just considered to be a normal response to severe stress.
2) Post-traumatic stress disorder can develop in part due to feeling out of control and afraid of death during a traumatic event.
Just like with any traumatic event, how you cope relates to how you perceive what happened, said Crystal Clancy, a licensed marriage and family therapist and co-director of Pregnancy and Postpartum Support MN.
However, risk factors that predispose certain people to develop mental disorders like PTSD also come into play.
3) Risk factors can help determine who is more at risk of developing PTSD after pregnancy loss. However, even women at risk for PTSD may never develop the condition.
Some risk factors include going through a dangerous and traumatic event, getting injured, as well as feeling helpless and extremely fearful, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Other possible risk factors are a history of other mental health issues, having minimal social support after a traumatic event, and experiencing additional stressors after a traumatic event, the NIMH reported.
4) There are several possible events related to pregnancy, labor and delivery that can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder, Brown said in an email.
These can include loss of the baby, the birth of a baby with obvious abnormalities, and medical issues with the baby that require an extensive stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. Other possible related events include inattentive medical personnel, and labor that involves complications.
5) The traumatic event and resulting trauma are not your fault, and you’re not crazy for feeling this way.
Brown lets all of his clients know at the beginning that they are having normal reactions and are understandably upset about abnormal events in their lives.
It helps as part of the recovery process to know that they aren’t responsible for the trauma and most certainly didn’t want the trauma to occur.
6) Symptoms of PTSD are wide-ranging after pregnancy loss. Symptoms can include flashbacks and recurrence of traumatic memories, nightmares, and fear or avoidance of places and objects associated with the loss, according to Jessica Wade, a clinical counselor in Columbus, Ohio.
Sufferers may experienced avoidance of places associated with pregnancy and babies, and avoidance of sex with the fear that sex could lead to pregnancy and a repeat of trauma, Wade said.
7) Women who experience PTSD may also suffer from depression and anxiety. After a pregnancy loss, women struggling with these conditions may ruminate and have exaggerated negative beliefs about what their role was in their pregnancy loss, according to Wade.
8) Creating a memorial is one way to cope with the loss you’re experiencing along with PTSD. You can create a memorial (with or without an object) in order to celebrate the life of your lost baby in a positive manner.
This may serve as a way to remember your baby in a meaningful way and create peace with what happened, Wade said.
It can be as simple as taking time to think about your angel baby, or you can even include family and friends in a ceremony dedicated to your baby.
9) Get into a regular routine again to help cope with your trauma. Even if you don’t want to go to work, it can be helpful to resume normal activities as soon as you’re physically able to, Brown said.
10) Taking care of your physical and emotional needs after a traumatic event is essential. Make sure to get proper rest for your recovering body and mind even more than usual, Brown said.
Be sure to properly hydrate your body and give your body the nutrition it needs in order to keep running smoothly. Be gentle and patient with yourself throughout this process, as it will take time to recover.

A new report from Middle East Electricity, MEE, states the GCC requires a combined US$131 billion worth of investment in electricity generation, transmission and distribution over the next five years to cope with increasing demand from growing populations, expanding economies and climatic changes.
The report, ‘GCC Power Market’, reveals that despite the GCC’s current power-generating capacity of 157 Gigawatts (GW) � which equates to 43 percent of all Middle East and North Africa capacity � its six states will still require US$81 billion investment for another 62 GW of increased capacity and $50 billion for additional transmission and distribution.
Saudi Arabia accounts for the largest spend needs with $36 billion required for generation and $23 billion for transmission and distribution, followed by the UAE at $22 billion investment needed for generation and $13 billion for transmission and distribution. Kuwait requires the third largest investment with $8.4 billion needed for generation and $5.2 billion for transmission and distribution, followed by Oman at $6.8 billion and $4.2 billion respectively, with Bahrain needing the least investment level at $1.9 billion and $1.1 billion.
The report, produced for the Middle East Electricity exhibition by Ventures Onsite, says much of the investment is likely to come from public-private partnerships, PPP, if a regulatory framework is introduced to incentivise independent power producers, IPP.
Over the last two decades, the PPP model has become the most attractive financing mechanism for the GCC power market with the model helping to ease the strain on government finances in delivering complex engineering solutions and delivering advanced technology solutions. The report outlines reliance on IPPs will grow but warns, “According to industry experts, there also arises the need for the power sector to establish a regulatory framework to push for the private sector’s participation.”
It adds, “GCC governments need to ensure that IPPs play a larger role in power generation and not be looked upon as a short-term fix to increasing demand.”
Such is the demand for change, that the Global Smart Energy Summit (GSES) � which will debut alongside MEE 2018 � has a track dedicated to reforms, policy and incentives where regional and international industry leaders will look for tomorrow’s financing and partnership solutions.
“There will be keen debate on energy models needed to fuel economic growth, including policy reform needed to accelerate the global transition to smart energy,” explained Ryan O’Donnell, Programme Director for GSES. “This includes a review of successful policy rethinks from around the world. It will be a track that could well set a course for the region’s power industry future.”
The trend towards change within the regional power sector has delivered a significant boost to MEE with the 2018 event, running at the Dubai World Trade Centre from March 6-8, attracting over 1,000 exhibitors from 66 countries and 24 country pavilions so far, all demonstrating technology, systems and processes aimed at making the sector more efficient, productive, cost-effective and sustainable.
And to respond to changing demand, show organiser Informa Exhibitions has introduced a dedicated Energy Storage and Management Solutions to join its four other specialised sectors: Transmission & Distribution, Power Generation and Lighting stalwarts, as well as Solar, which joins the MEE fold as a dedicated sector after six years as a co-located event.
Middle East Electricity is held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and is hosted by the UAE Ministry of Energy.

2. Purpose is not Passive
To move towards your purpose involves exactly that : movement.
You have to take action.
Just because God had a purpose for your life, and has told you, doesn’t mean He’s going to do everything to make it just land in your lap. He expects you to take faith-filled action steps towards it whether its signing up for singing lessons, taking a course on entrepreneurship, or further refining your ideas and outline for the novel you want to write.
In other words, you have to move towards it.
You need to do the practice and the work necessary to start fulfilling Gods purpose for your life.
Some people receive a prophesy or vision which lets them know what God wants them to do. Then they sit and wait for it to happen.
Others make the opposite mistake. They receive a prophesy or vision and then rush out and try to fulfil it. If you’ve just received that vision from God, ask Him if the timing is now. If not, make preparation towards fulfilling it without making any drastic changes in your life or work.
But don’t sit around – actively seek God with regard to His purpose for your life and what you should be doing in the season you’re in.
The bible says in Gal 6:4 (Message version) “Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you’ve been given and then sink yourself into it”. It’s not indulgent to make an effort to find out who you are and what you are called to. It’s responsible. It’s good stewardship of the life you’ve been given.
I love that verse. There’s nothing passive about it. You’ll notice also with Paul the Apostle that there is nothing passive about how he responds to God’s call on his life. He says, “I PRESS forward to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Phil 3:14) “I PRESS ON to TAKE HOLD of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me ” (Phil 3:12). Those are active, wholehearted, passion-filled words. And they involve effort – sometimes strenuous effort.
So purpose involves propelling yourself forward and it involves action.
The action may simply for now be to prepare for your purpose; God may not have opened a specific door for your purpose yet, but prepare anyway. Prepare by honing your gifts. Prepare by allowing God to use you wherever you are. Prepare by doing wholeheartedly whatever your hand finds to do, whatever He has put into your hands.
God desires for us to prepare by developing the talents He has given us. And He desires to prepare us by working on our character to ready us for His purpose for us our part of His story.
Meditate : Phil 1:6, Phil 3:12-14 Think today about what action God might want you to take. Bring it before Him in prayer. If you sense an action that is being stirred in your heart for you to take, then move towards it, while continuing to pray. Allow Him to speak to you with peace or by steering you in another direction.

Ravens running back Ray Rice and fullback Vonta Leach have the same reaction to the NFL’s new rule against runners delivering shots with the tops of their helmets as practically every other NFL running back: They don’t like it.
But just as players have adjusted to other safety rules, both Rice and Leach say they’re ready to adjust to this one, too.
“I don’t like it,” Rice told BaltimoreRavens.com. “I’m just telling you right now, there’s not going to be a guy that’s going to be able to get a free lick on me and think it’s alright. I will defend my case, and I will defend myself as a runner.”
Rice said he doesn’t plan to change the way he plays, and yet at the same time he realizes that he can’t afford to cost his team 15 yards by using his helmet as a weapon.
“I don’t like it, but at the same time I’m not one to complain. I feel like you either adapt to the change or you get weeded out,” Rice said.
Leach had a similar sentiment.
“It’s crazy,” Leach said, “but I think we’ll adjust to it and we’ll overcome it.”
The players always adjust. Whether they like the rules the owners pass or not.

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
~ Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“In nature nothing exists alone.”
~ Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
As I posted in my other blog, I don’t want to remember war nor encourage the continuity of a culture that celebrates patriotism and makes “heroes” from those who were, in any case, victims of a flawed system…
I dream a world where heroes are those who protect and celebrate what gives life. Today, I celebrate and remember the soil and what it means for all of us: the essence of life and death, the eternal cycle.
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
~ John Muir
Barefoot in the garden, I feel the soil under my feet: layers after layers of autumn leaves, small pieces of rock powder threw here by northern and ocean winds, dust from faraway planets, meteors and stars, particles that once belonged to your skin have flown here as mine went so far as a Tibetan monastery.
I crouch and collect a small worm here, a beetle there: if I dare to dig into it, I’ll see the mycorrhizae network that feeds to and from these trees’ roots…under the clover I can find the Rhizobium bacteria inside those swelling root nodules of the plant’s root: full of ready-to-take nitrogen in a form other plants can now “digest”…
I can’t see with my clumsy eyes, but beyond these obvious beings there are millions of microorganisms and relationships I cannot even start to fathom…the certainty that all what I am and ever was will end up here soothes my soul: I’ll come back, I whisper to the worm while setting it free back again to the soil. The little creature seems to hear me as it twists towards me and I smile: all my wishes and despairs will mix with this dirt and you, all of you, those I loved so much and those I don’t will be there along with me.
What we call “soil” is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and millions of small and even microscopic organisms…it is the product of millions of years of interactions of climate and parent materials (mostly, rocks) and is constantly moving and changing: any given soil profile may take hundreds of years to be established.
While we cannot “make” soil, we can certainly help nature in its ongoing work.
Today we went to pick up autumn leaves from public spaces (there are not enough in our yard and almost none in our community garden) to make leafmould: I made some last year but it’s now gone, so we need more. I checked on my compost and the worms from the small worm factory in our kitchen…I also collected pebbles and stones (a favourite pastime of mine: stealing pebbles whenever I go to the beach or a river and bringing them home)…the cardboard pile and the shredded paper are full…I have all I need.
Some soil building tips
- Minimize working in your garden when it is too wet or too dry: in both cases you are destroying soil structure (the porosity it needs so the water, air and nutrients can circulate effectively and become available to the plants)
- Avoid tilling and, in general, using any tools: you’ll kill the good organisms that are helping you and you may cut mycorrhizae and destroy root hairs necessary to the plants for nutrient intake
- When harvesting, take only what you need and leave the roots in. Next spring, if you want, you can turn them or just leave them there and plant on the top
- Never leave the soil bare: there is no such a thing in nature except on deserts. Bare soil will be eroded faster and attracts weeds
- Make leafmould: it is easy and free. You just need some bags and leave the leaves inside for at least one year (more is better)…then use them as mulch in the next fall or right after planting to cover and protect the soil
- Add humus to your soil: humus can be “made” if you do vermicomposting (composting with worms). It is really easy and the product is gold! Good humus increases the soil capacity of promoting plant growth because it increases soil structure and through something called colloids, nutrients can be “stuck” and taken easily by plants’ roots
- Compost: composting is also very easy and provides you with rich “soil” you can add to containers and beds or just your yard (better if you do this during the fall but if the compost is already well done, it can also be used in spring)
- Use legumes to cover your soil or as companion plants: legumes attract a beneficial bacteria that colonizes the roots and converts nitrogen so plants can take it…
- Do not use pesticides or fungicides of any kind: they destroy much more than what the label says
- Grow patches of Comfrey, Stinging Nettle, Yarrow, Valerian, Chives, Alfalfa, Watercress, Dandelion, Borage, Vetches, Chamomile, etc and use them as mulch or add them to your compost (their roots of these and many other plants called in Permaculture “dynamic accumulators” have the capacity to dig deeper and acquire minerals not easily accessible to other plants such as annual vegetables that usually have shallow roots)…these plants are also edible, medicinal or good for teas and most are perennial, hardy and don’t need much care.
- If you don’t plan to grow anything over the winter, then plant cover crops or cover your soil with a sheet of much or lasagna mulching
- Save cardboard from paper toilet and small boxes with no ink on them: you can then cut them in strips and either feed them to your worms or to your compost. If you are making a lasagna compost sheet for your garden, use the strips as the “carbon” layer
- Use permanent beds and paths: this allows you to have good structured soil and walk only through the paths to avoid compaction
- Save all your eggshells and when you have enough, bake them and smash them to make eggshell powder and add this to your vegetable garden
- Add human urine to your compost pile or garden (not during the growing season!)
But the best you can do for your soil (and life in this planet) is going out: go a forest, a beach, a river, a lake and observe the soil…touch it…smell it…feel it
It is your home

World Autism Awareness 202229 March 2022
This year, World Autism Awareness Week is from 28 March to 3 April, and to mark this we’d like to provide some information and further resources linked to the Centre’s protected characteristic theme for 2021/2022 “Age”.
– Joint blog by Claire Johnson, Head of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs and Josie Henley, Research Associate, Centre for Trials Research.
The 2022 World Autism Awareness Day observance from the UN includes an online event Inclusive Quality Education for All, Friday, 8 April 2022, 10:00 – 11:15 a.m. EST (15:00 – 16:15 BST). Registration is via the website and if you register, you will be sent a link to view the recording following the event.
Introduction to autism
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. One in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK1. People on the autism spectrum have varying strengths and challenges for example some autistic people have an accompanying learning disability and need support to do everyday things like clean cook and exercise. Other autistic people are in full time work, with little extra support. Take a look at this video from the National Autistic Society:
As autism is a spectrum condition, many autistic people meet some but not all of the diagnostic criteria for autism. Some experiences are severe, leading to the individual finding life very difficult, whereas some have more support in place and are more able to cope. This means that there might be two autistic people who are quite different, or who share only some of the traits. There is a stereotype of what an autistic person ‘looks like’, perhaps based on older portrayals of autistic people in films and literature. This might lead someone to be met with disbelief if they say that they’re autistic. There is a phrase among the autistic community: “If you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person.”
Autism in children
Signs of autism in young children include not responding to their name, avoiding eye contact, not smiling when you smile at them, getting emotionally overwhelmed by certain tastes, smells, sounds or textures (leading to an intense preference or dislike for certain clothing for instance), or a combination of too much sensory input, repetitive movements, such as flapping their hands, flicking their fingers or rocking their body, not talking as much as other children, including not talking at all for prolonged periods, and repeating the same phrases.
Signs of autism in older children include not seeming to understand what others are thinking or feeling, finding describing emotions in themselves or others very difficult, preferring a strict daily routine and getting emotionally overwhelmed if it changes or if they need to make a quick decision about a change, having a very keen interest in certain subjects or activities, not always understanding if they are being asked to do something so they might neglect tasks or get them wrong, finding it hard to make friends or preferring to be on their own, taking things very literally – for example, they may not understand phrases like “break a leg”, or understand when someone else is joking. Older children who are expected to start to take responsibility for their own lives might find it very difficult to make decisions such as how often to wash or change their clothes. They might be unable to work out which of the social rules can be ignored sometimes and which are crucial. It can be difficult, for instance, to understand when a social rule can be overruled, e.g., a rule about not shouting or interrupting people might lead an autistic teenager to feel unable to call out for help in an emergency.
Autism can sometimes be different in girls and boys. For example, autistic girls and female-assigned children may be quieter, may hide their feelings and may appear to cope better with social situations. This means autism can be harder to spot in girls2. Among the autistic community, this is due to what is known as “masking”, i.e., female-assigned children experience harsher punishments for behaviour that is seen as socially unacceptable (rudeness, not complying with dress or hygiene standards), meaning that they learn to work harder at learning these social rules.
There is a library of resources for parents and carers of autistic children here:
What happens when your autistic child turns 18?
Once a child reaches 18, changes can occur in support and care packages (if they have them – not all autistic children have support) and the transition from childhood to adulthood can be a complicated time and cause anxiety for the person and their family. This is the case for any young person in their transition to adulthood, but it is a much more anxiety-producing time when the young person has support and care needs. Additionally, the law is clear that every adult (when a young person turns 18), whatever their disability, has the right to make their own decisions, where they have capacity to do so, and should be supported to do so wherever possible. The challenging behaviours foundation3 have produced some guidance on this:
Autism in adults
It is important to emphasize that autism has been vastly under-diagnosed in the past. It is estimated that there are a significant percentage of autistic adults who do not know that they meet the criteria for autism. This is especially so for women and female-assigned people, due to a combination of the stereotyped view of what autism is in previous decades and the “masking” mentioned above. In addition, the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition (previously known as Asperger Syndrome or “high functioning” autism) is relatively recent. If, on reading this, you start to wonder about yourself or a relative, there is a lot of support available. Look at, for instance, the National Autistic Society website (link below).
Common signs of autism in adults are very similar to those outlined for older children, above. However, adults experience a heightened expectation that they will be able to perform socially and in more stressful situations, such as the workplace and parenting their own children (who are statistically more likely to be autistic than the children of non-autistic adults). Autistic adults might find it hard to understand what others are thinking or feeling and therefore seek more clarification or appear to be rude, self-centred, and not particularly interested in other people. They might get very anxious about social situations, find it hard to make friends or prefer to be on their own. As with children, autistic adults might have difficulty in knowing when to take information literally or when to assume someone is making a joke, and might strongly prefer a daily routine and meticulous planning for any expected change to routine, e.g., a holiday, change of job, house move etc.
Autistic adults often appear to not understand social “rules”, such as not talking over people, avoiding eye contact, getting too close to other people, or other aspects of socially acceptable public behaviour. As with autistic children, adults might have a very keen interest in certain subjects or activities. They might notice small details and patterns that others do not, and spot tiny differences in the pattern. This can be a very positive aspect of autism in terms of ability to perform a task that requires the skills of intense scrutiny. However, the downside of this is that as with autistic children, the intense sensory input can also lead to an overwhelm of sensory information, including visual, audio, taste, smell, and textures.
Autistic people can develop insight as they learn about themselves and their condition, what they can cope with and what they can’t. This puts them in a unique position to be able to advise and support other autistic people. There is a wide community of autistic adults and young adults, who offer peer support as well as the support offered by professionals. There are also a lot of resources for instance, self-help books written by autistic people (e.g. I Think I Might Be Autistic: A Guide to Autism by Cynthia Kim) and websites run by autistic people (e.g. The Girl With The Curly Hair https://thegirlwiththecurlyhair.co.uk/). With stigmatised conditions such as autism, it is often more comfortable to receive advice and support from other people with the condition than to go to professionals, as there is always the worry about being patronised or feeling ashamed. There is also often a long wait for assessment appointments for both children and adults, so a lot of people prefer to do their own research first.
As with children, autism can sometimes be different in women and men. For example, autistic women and female-assigned people may be quieter, may hide their feelings and may appear to cope better with social situations, for the same reasons noted above.
Integrated Autism Service
There are 7 Integrated Autism Services across Wales. They represent a partnership between Health Boards and Local Authorities. The services provide adult autism diagnostic assessment (sometimes jointly with other services), support and advice for autistic adults, parents/ carers, and professionals4. More information can be found on there: https://autismwales.org/en/integrated-autism-service/
Diagnosis as an adult
Some autistic people can go through childhood and early adulthood without an autism diagnosis, feeling that somehow, they don’t quite fit in. Many people learn to cope with life in their own ways, although this may not be easy. Women and female-assigned people often receive autism diagnoses later than men. Recently in the news Christine McGuinness (model and TV personality) has talked about receiving her autism diagnoses in 2021 (Christine McGuinness – How my autism can help me to help my kids – Parents’ Toolkit – BBC Bitesize).
Here are some real-life stories from autistic adults receiving their diagnoses later in life:
The National Autistic Society’s website provides a wealth of information and guidance for adults who think they may be autistic:

I am a voice teacher living in Fort Collins with my family. I hold a degree in vocal performance and have over a decade of experience teaching students of all ages. In each voice lesson I focus on developing the natural singing voice of a student through relaxed, healthy, full-body singing. Many young singers are unaware that they have formed singing habits which gradually hurt vocal chords. Not only will this harm the voice in the long-run, but usually these habits prevent the student from attaining their full potential as a singer. My focus is classical, opera and legit Broadway, but the skills gained through healthy singing will help with any style, even non-singing public speakers. Everyone CAN improve their singing, no matter their age or previous experience.
2024 Super Singer Summer Camps are here!
Do you have a little super hero just waiting to unleash their musical super powers? Then the Behunin Vocal Studio's musical summer camps are for them! Geared towards ages 6-12, these half-day camps will have your super star exploring melody, rhythm, and music theory--under the guise of developing their super powers, of course. No previous musical experience is necessary. Each day will include a group voice lesson, so if you've been wondering if voice lessons would be a good fit for your child, this is a great opportunity to try it out.
Both sessions of our 2024 Summer Camps will be super-hero themed, but the activities each week will be different, so if you'd like to sign up for both sessions, you may. Space is limited. Spots in the summer camps sessions will be offered first to current and former voice students and will then be opened up on a first come first-served basis.
