Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love making simple, handmade decorations to liven up my living room and front porch. So, when I saw this idea on Pinterest for heart shapes sandwiched between wax paper as a wrapping for baked goods I decided to give the technique a Halloween twist and make batty Halloween luminaries.
Here's what you'll need to make your own:
- Black paper, both text-weight and cardstock
- Wax paper
- Paper towels
- Scotch tape, satin or invisible finish work the best
- Hole punches, I used a hand punch and drill punch
- Glass votive holders
- Battery powered tealights
- Other Halloween props for your display
Starting with the lighter-weight black paper, cut it into rectangles about 1.5-2" wide by about 1" tall. When I'm cutting paper shapes I find smaller paper pieces easier to manage.
Here's how I cut mine. With 4 cuts of the scissors, I have my bat! You can draw out your design in pencil before-hand if you prefer to follow lines when you're cutting.
Cut a bunch of these guys out, at different sizes. Punch some holes in the same paper to get the dots.
Roll out the wax paper and tear off a piece large enough to wrap around your glass with about a 2" overlap. Fold it half the short way.
Lay the wax paper on a paper towel on an ironing board. Arrange your bats and dots on the lower half of the wax paper in an arrangement that you like, then fold the top piece over it, so your paper bats are in between two sheets of wax paper. Place another paper towel on top of the sandwich, set the iron to medium heat, and lightly run the iron over the paper towel until the was paper fuses to itself.
Don't worry about bubbles in the wax paper - you won't be able to see them when they're around the candle holder. Trim it down so there's only a 1/2" overlap. Cut a zig-zag border in the top, roll it around the votive holder and tape it together. Drop in a battery powered tea light.
For the black luminaries, cut a piece of the black cardstock about 1/2" wider than the circumference of your glass and randomly punch holes all over it. Tape a piece of wax paper on the back of it, roll it around the glass, and tape together.
I made 5: two of the black polka-dotted ones and 2 bat designs at different heights. I also made one with a spooky dead tree and fence, so get creative with it! You could try witches, cats, spiders...
I turned my luminaries into a centerpiece feature. To do this, I used a black and white striped bowl, turned it upside down, and added a dinner plate with a white doily to the top. I arranged the luminaries on the plate and added some black silk flowers and glittered spiders that I already had in my stash. The tealights flicker, so they cast some spooky shadows.
I hope you try making some of these yourself. Happy crafting!

Liebherr crane erects first wind turbine in KSA
Dammam’s Gulf Haulage Heavy Lift Company uses Liebherr LR 1750 crawler crane to lift 410 tonnes of components for Saudi Arabia’s very first commercial wind turbine
Dammam-based heavy haulage and heavy lift contractor Gulf Haulage Heavy Lift Company (GHHL) has erected the very first commercial wind turbine in Saudi Arabia using a Liebherr LR 1750 crawler crane.
The wind turbine, located in Turaif in the northeast of Saudi Arabia, has a total weight of 410 tonnes and will generate power for a bulk plant facility operated by state oil company Saudi Aramco. The tower is 84m high with 60m long blade and a nacelle (turbine housing unit) weighing 83 tonnes.
The project is an important first step for wind energy in Saudi Arabia, and for Saudi Aramco’s ambitious plans to deliver 9,500MW of renewable energy as part of Saudi Arabia’s vision for the year 2030.
The challenge in the case of the project in Turaif was the transport of the 410 tonnes of wind turbine components from the industrial port of Jubail 1,250km away to the site.
In the event, the three blades, the nacelle and tower sections were transported in a convoy of tractor vehicles and special trailers over the distance in less than six days.
After the tower segments were assembled, the 83-tonne nacelle was installed at its operating height of 84m. Together with the installation of the blades, the erection of the entire wind turbine took just two days.
High wind speeds in the region complicated the planning process, but the team at GHHL completed the first project to erect a wind turbine in Saudi Arabia comfortably and safely.
With its wide range of boom systems, the Liebherr LR 1750 crawler crane is suitable for a large spectrum of applications and is used around the world to erect wind turbines.
Liebherr has also developed a number of boom systems especially for this purpose to meet the steadily growing demand from commercial wind farm operations, which are very common in both Germany and Switzerland.
As for GHHL, the company has 30 years’ of experience in heavy haulage and heavy lift contractors in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Its fleet includes cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 2,000 tonnes and a combined 300 axles of components for making up modular and self-propelled heavy goods trailers.
Also in Saudi Arabia, Liebherr opened a newly erected facility in Dammam in late 2016 to strengthen the sales and service staff of its cranes, foundation work and concrete technology product divisions in the east of the country.
The timing could hardly be better, as Aramco has already plans in place for a further 300MW- to 400MW-capacity wind project.

The fight over the fate of Free Speech in America has taken a wild turn today, as CNN’s New York headquarters were evacuated live, on air.
The mainstream media, along with social media giants such as Facebook and Twitter, have been working overtime to silence the underground voices of the American electorate over the course of the Trump Era. On both sides of the political spectrum, these platforms have been pushing to outlaw and censor any narratives that don’t align with their own, branding anyone in the realm of “conspiracy” as a proponent of “hate speech”.
For many, this has read like the synopsis of George Orwell’s famous dystopian masterpiece 1984, spurring a great many Americans to stand up for the right to free speech.
Now, apparently, someone has taken their disdain for this propaganda tactic too far, sending an explosive device to CNN headquarters in New York.

A MILDURA mother used a scooter to smash the window of a home after picking her son up from a sleepover.
In June last year, Shannon Weisner went to a Mildura home about 10.50pm to pick up her son, who was there with five other children.
Mildura Magistrates’ Court was this week told Weisner entered through the back door and collected the child, who was asleep on the couch.
However, outside an argument erupted between the woman and the house’s occupant, who had never met before.
While leaving the property, Weisner grabbed a scooter and used its handle to smash a front window.
Defence counsel asked that
Weisner’s difficult history be taken into consideration. Weisner pleaded guilty to the charge and was placed on a six-month good behaviour order, with a condition she continue to engage with a psychologist.

Music has the power to transport us to different places, evoke emotions, and create unforgettable memories. Whether we're jamming out with friends or seeking solace in a song, music plays a significant role in our lives. And for many cannabis enthusiasts, combining cannabis with music enhances the entire listening experience.
So, why does cannabis and music make such a great pair? Let's dive deeper into the subject and discover the magic of how these two elements synergize to elevate your auditory journey.
The Science Behind the Synergy
When you consume cannabis, it interacts with your endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis in your body. This intricate system has receptors throughout your brain, including areas associated with sensory perception, emotions, and memory.
When cannabis interacts with these receptors, it can heighten your perception of sound, making music more vibrant and immersive. It also enhances your ability to connect with the emotions conveyed by the music, allowing you to experience a deeper connection with the lyrics and melodies.
Choosing the Right Strain
Just like different genres of music create different moods, cannabis strains have varying effects on the mind and body. Therefore, it's crucial to choose the right strain to enhance your listening experience.
Indica strains, known for their relaxing properties, can help you unwind and immerse yourself in the calming melodies of classical, ambient, or acoustic music. On the other hand, sativa strains, which offer energizing effects, can boost your focus and make upbeat genres like rock, pop, or electronic music even more exhilarating.
Experimenting with different strains can help you discover the perfect combination that resonates with your preferred music genres.
The Ritual: Setting the Stage
Creating the right atmosphere is key to fully immersing yourself in the symbiosis between cannabis and music. Consider the following elements to set the stage for an unforgettable auditory journey:
1. Comfortable Listening Spot
Designate a cozy nook or a favorite corner in your home to create your personal listening spot. Use cushions, blankets, or a comfy chair to ensure maximum comfort.
Experiment with different lighting options to find the ambiance that suits your mood and music genre. Dimmed lights or candlelight can create a relaxing atmosphere, while colorful or dynamic lights can enhance an energetic sound experience.
3. Incense or Essential Oils
The olfactory system plays a crucial role in our overall sensory experience. Consider incorporating incense or essential oils with calming scents like lavender, sandalwood, or vanilla to further enhance your listening session.
4. Surround Sound or Quality Headphones
Investing in a surround sound system or high-quality headphones will significantly enhance your listening experience. Immerse yourself in the music with crisp and detailed sound.
5. Music Selection
Create curated playlists or explore music streaming platforms to find unique artists, genres, or albums that resonate with your state of mind. Discovering new music is an adventure in itself.
Mindful Listening: The Journey Within
Once the stage is set, it's time to embark on a mindful listening journey. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your cannabis-infused auditory experience:
1. Engage All Your Senses
Close your eyes and allow the music to take you on a journey. Feel the vibrations, visualize the rhythm, and let the lyrics or melodies guide your imagination.
2. Focus on the Details
Pay attention to the intricacies of the music. Listen for the various instruments, the textures of the sounds, and the layers within the composition. Being present in the moment and fully engaged will heighten your sensory experience.
3. Reflect and Journal
After your listening session, take a few minutes to reflect on your experience. Journaling about your favorite moments, emotions evoked, or any insights gained can serve as a beautiful keepsake and a way to revisit your journey in the future.
Many artists and creatives turn to cannabis to spark their creative juices and explore new artistic territories. Whether you're an aspiring musician, a writer, or simply seeking inspiration, cannabis can unlock your inner creativity.
By combining cannabis with music, you can tap into a unique state of mind that encourages experimentation and free thinking. Allow the cannabis-infused synergy between your favorite tunes and your creative pursuits to inspire you and push the boundaries of your artistic expression.
The Social Aspect: Connecting Through Sound
Sharing music with others is a universal language that transcends barriers. Cannabis can deepen these social connections, creating a shared experience and fostering a sense of belonging.
Invite friends over for a cannabis-infused listening session, where each person takes turns sharing their favorite tracks. Allow the music to ignite meaningful conversations, revive old memories, and create new ones. With the power of cannabis and music combined, these gatherings can become cherished moments of connection and joy.
Before indulging in the wonderful world of cannabis and music, it's essential to ensure that you are in a legal jurisdiction where recreational or medical cannabis consumption is allowed. Familiarize yourself with the local regulations to enjoy this experience responsibly and without any legal consequences.
Elevate Your Listening Experience: The Symphony Begins
Cannabis and music together have the power to elevate our senses, transcend our current realities, and create unforgettable moments of pure bliss. From the science behind the synergy to choosing the right strain and creating the perfect ambiance, there's a whole world waiting to be explored.
So, next time you're ready to embark on a musical journey, consider incorporating cannabis into the mix. Allow the synergy between cannabis and music to transport you to new dimensions and experience sound in a way you never thought possible. Your ears and mind will thank you for it!

Evenepoel said he followed team orders and vowed the “Wolfpack” would be racing to win Sunday’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège in what’s the last chance for the team to salvage its uneven spring classics campaign.
“I was asked to drop Alaphilippe off on the last climb, and that’s what I did,” Evenepoel told Belgian journalists at the line. “I know I’m not the type of rider to compete for the win on a course like this. So I just stepped aside.”
- Paris-Roubaix: Dylan van Baarle soloes to victory at record speed
- Yves Lampaert crashes after colliding with spectator in Paris-Roubaix
- Who can Quick-Step sign to rebuild classics program?
Evenepoel, who rode to 43rd up the Mur de Huy in his debut at the mid-week classic, said the team rode a near-perfect race despite falling short of the podium.
“We did everything we could to help Julian, but I think Teuns deserves it,” Evenepoel said. “We actually raced the perfect race. I think we were there as a team today. We did our tasks down to the last detail. performed today.
“At the finish, it is the strongest man who wins, that turned out to be Dylan Teuns. We have done everything we can to help Julian, but I think Teuns deserves it.”
Julian Alaphilippe: ‘No regrets’ in missing podium for first time
All eyes were on Quick-Step on Wednesday as Evenepoel and Alaphilippe moved center stage after a rough and tumble edition of Paris-Roubaix last weekend.
Alaphilippe, who before Wednesday had never finished worse than second in five starts at La Fléche Wallonne, kicked to fourth at five seconds back.
“I am relieved … relieved the race is over,” Alaphilippe said. “I obviously had a lot of pressure on my shoulders before the start, but I was focused on trying to have the best race possible and having no regrets. The team did a huge job, it was beautiful to see, I want to thank them.
“Afterwards, in the end, it was the legs that spoke, I did what I could. Even if I had been in the wheel of Dylan Teuns, I don’t think I would have could have won, it wouldn’t have made a difference. I have no regrets.”
Wednesday’s close call is the latest chapter in Quick-Step’s spring of discontent.
Quick-Step suffered a series of setbacks at Paris-Roubaix, including seeing top French hope Florian Sénéchal evidently showered in urine by fans as he raced over a decisive sector of cobbles.
Quick-Step has been on the back foot all spring following a string of injuries and illness. Fabio Jakobsen won Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne during the “opening weekend,” but the team’s struggled since then.
Also read: Liège-Bastogne-Liège race preview
The Belgian outfit’s been a major force in the spring classics for decades, but this year, the team only hit one podium with third at Strade Bianche with Kasper Asgreen. Since then, the team’s seen one frustration after another.
Evenepoel, who debuts at Liège on Sunday, said the team will race to win at the Belgian monument.
“Liège is much longer, with longer efforts,” he said. “There will also be less nervousness in the peloton because the course is less technical.”


text: Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is the gift that never stops giving. The pop song of summer 2012 — which became the clear pop song of the year and a frontrunner for pop song of the decade (its competition is shaping up to be "Hotline Bling" and a veritable Taylor Swift compilation) — gave us so much already: that adorable living-room karaoke tribute staged by varsity pop stars Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber; all those awkward talk-show love-ins, culminating with Colin Powell and Gayle King's Geneva Convention-violating duet on CBS This Morning; and the considerably catchier "cover" stitched out of Barack Obama speeches. It also can be credited with facilitating Jepsen's 2015 follow-up Emotion (Interscope), a collection of hairbrush-in-the-mirror moments writ large that whiffed commercially but expanded her fan base exponentially, likely doubling its median age in the process. (Jepsen, it should be said and then immediately forgotten, turned 32 this year.) By extension, it now is providing a bona fide excuse for any non-chaperones to attend a Katy Perry concert, aside from maybe eating some questionable mushrooms ("LA Hallucinations"?) and hoping for the magic of her Super Bowl-halftime shark attack to come flashing back.

“I received this book as an ARC & I’m giving an honest review.”
When the Darkness was unleashed on the world, a lot was at stake and a lot of people paid price. Denida & Nina were two such people. Both the parents are coping with their son’s death differently. Nina is lashing out at everyone and everything while Denida is all set to make things right. For this, he has made a deal with Lucifer, the Devil himself. And we all know, that it never suffices well to make deals with the Devil.
Rejecting Destiny is the third book in The Underworlds series. It is a Science Fiction novel merged with elements of Fantasy and Dark Magic which makes the book really unique.
The cover of the book is beautiful & the title sums up the events of the book in a poetic way. In the course of the book, both, Denida & Nina seek to cope with their sons loss and wish that somehow he could come back.
The book commences with a very distraught Denida who blames himself for his son’s tragic death. Nina, his wife, blames him too. Soon enough, the book delves into flashbacks which detail the inception of the world as we know it. Those fantasy flashbacks were truly amazing as they provided some insight and also gave a new perspective to the reader.
Since the very beginning, the book managed to seize my attention. The language was fluid, comprehensive & enthralling. The writing seemed so real that I could practically imagine myself IN the novel. Since the moment I started reading, I knew I was going to be in too deep and I was! Even the thought of putting the book down was tortuous for me.
The emotions that the author brought out by his writing were so real that even in the very beginning, when Denida and Nina were lamenting the loss of their sons I couldn’t help but shed a tear or two. This was the power of the author’s words.
The characters seemed real and well crafted. The action sequences were really well penned. Despite the constant change of the setting of the story, the author managed to somehow keep the flow of the story intact, which is commendable. The book was a whirlwind of emotions and the climax was beyond words!
Over and all, this is a book for all the Sci-fi and Fantasy fans out there. I consider it a must read because this book does not only thread an excruciatingly beautiful story, but also because it is unique and one of a kind.
Until the next time! Adios Amigos!

Metro have a claim that has Arsenal fans looking up with interest here in the Football Transfer Tavern.
They claim that the Gunners could well be set to land a top player this summer – for free.
As one of our punters notes, it is no shock that Arsene Wenger has already got a bargain lined up. We all know he thought £37 million was far too much for Julian Draxler, but to land Gareth Barry on a free would be sound business.
The England midfielder has been enjoying a new lease of life at Everton this season after being sent out on loan by Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini and as one of our punters notes, at times, Barry has been missed by the Citizens.
It is a huge blow for Everton, with manager Roberto Martinez keen to keep hold of Barry, but the Spanish manager is fully aware that the chance to play for Arsenal while also playing Champions League football may well prove too much for the 32-year-old.
One of our punters notes that City are missing out here, and despite all their riches, having a hard-working player like Barry is never a bad thing.
Will Wenger convince Barry to sign a deal with the Gunners? Let us know your thoughts below.

Carbides may occur in all iron-carbon alloys as a defect during solidification, depending on the chemical composition and wall thickness (cooling rate), regardless of the molding and the casting process. Carbide inclusions are characterized by poor machinability of the material and therefore increased tool wear. Moreover, carbide inclusions cause deterioration of the mechanical properties but, above all, the toughness properties of the material. With metallographic examination, carbide inclusions generally become visible after etching (s. Etching).
Carbides are metal-carbon compounds, for example cementite Fe3C (iron carbide), frequently available as double carbides (ternary compounds of carbon with two metals, e.g. Fe3W3C), as mixed carbide (here, through atoms of the alloy elements, e.g. (Cr, Fe)3C; (Fe, Mn)3C or (Cr, Fe)7C3) or as special carbides (eutectic and secondary mixed carbides of type M7C3).
The most frequent forms of carbide formation in real castings are caused by chill, on the one hand, (Fig. 1) occurring in thin cross sections and referred to as chilled edges and by grain boundaries evolving in thick-walled areas due to slow cooling rates. A phenomenon is what is known as inverse chill.
Depending on the nature and cause of carbides, they may occur as fibrous structures distributed across the entire cross section (edge hardness), as “gussets" in the last solidified melt (grain boundary carbide) (Fig. 2), as “cube- or block-shaped” inclusions (titanium carbide) (Fig. 3) or even as “Chinese characters” (mixed carbides that are rich in molybdenum and vanadium) (Fig. 4). Not all carbides can be completely eliminated by means of heat treatment (annealing for carbide decomposition).
For cast iron there are two types of solidification: eutectic reactions of the stable iron-graphite system and reactions of the meta-stable iron-iron carbide (cementite) system. The eutectic temperature of the iron-graphite reaction is a lot higher than that of the iron-cementite reaction (Fig. 5). However, the problems that are associated with nucleation in the graphite phase are mostly caused by more or less severe cooling below the eutectic temperature of the stable system.
With great cooling rates, the iron may cool down below the temperature of the meta-stable iron-cementite system so that the conditions are given for iron carbide (Fe3C) to develop; this particularly applies for thin cross sections and casting edges. If much heat is released during the eutectic reaction, the temperature of the residual melt may increase above the temperature of the meta-stable system again so that the carbide-forming eutectic reaction is stopped and therefore the depth of the chill is restricted. This type of iron material can then be left to completely solidify within the interval between the two eutectic temperatures as is illustrated by the hypothetic cooling curve in Fig. 6. The result is a mottled white/gray solidified structure.
However, carbides do not only emerge during the first stage of the solidification process leading to chill, but also during later phases of the solidification process. As a general rule, the continuing eutecticsolidification releases enough heat to rise the temperature; however, towards the end, the speed of reaction is reduced and temperatures begin to fall. In case that the residual melt cools down to below the eutectic temperature of the meta-stable system, as is shown in Fig. 7, carbides may develop.
These carbides naturally form along the boundaries of the previously grown eutectic grains and are thus referred to as grain boundary carbides.
Accordingly it can be deduced that there are two occasion that cause formation of carbides during the solidification process: on the one hand, at the beginning of eutecticsolidification when cooling takes place at high rates, and on the other hand, towards the end of eutecticsolidification. While chill normally only occurs in thin cross sections and edge zones, formation of grain boundary carbides may also take place in thicker cross sections that cool more slowly. This particularly applied for castings made of alloyed cast iron.
Alloy elements may substantially influence the chill tendency and carbide formation. The first phenomenon to be mentioned is that alloy elements cause a shift in the eutectic temperature of the stable iron-graphite system and therefore a induce a change in the carbon equivalent, which results in a direct influence of the chill. Moreover, the alloy elements change the equilibrium solidus temperatures for the iron-graphite eutectic (stable system) and for the iron-carbideeutectic (meta-stable system) as is shown in Fig. 8.
Since the alloy elements have an influence on both eutectic temperatures, they practically affect the entire interval between these two eutectic temperatures and thus also the severity of cooling that is permitted for prevention of chill. With regard to chill, this alloy effect is equal or greater than that affecting the carbon equivalent.
Graphitizing elements, such as silicon, copper, and nickel, rise the eutectic temperature of the stable system and simultaneously lower the temperature or the meta-stable system; i.e. they widen the interval between the two temperatures. Carbide formers, such as chromium, titanium, and vanadium, lower the temperature of the iron-graphite eutectic and simultaneously rise the temperature of the iron-carbideeutectic; i. e. they narrow the interval between the two temperatures.
Some elements, for example manganese and molybdenum, lower both eutectic temperatures simultaneously and therefore should neither reduce nor increase the chill tendency of the material. However, for manganese the statement above is limited due to two reasons: Manganese causes reduction of the carbon equivalent and, what is equally important, has a degrading effect on the nucleation potential within the cast iron melt. Consequently, if the manganese contents are increased beyond normal rates, the nucleation state is impaired; i.e. the number of eutectic grains is reduced due to the interaction of manganese with sulfur during formation of manganese sulfide.
In most cases, formation of grain boundary carbides results from segregation. Usually, graphitizing elements migrate towards the solid phase (austenite) and carbide formers towards the liquid phase (residual melt). Naturally, elements that only provide limited solubility in austenite, such as copper, phosphorous, tin, magnesium, or tellurium, may also be displaced towards the liquid phase.
Since carbide formers, such as chromium and vanadium, accumulate in the liquid phase and accordingly, graphitizing elements, such as silicon and nickel deplete in the liquid phase more and more, the eutectic temperature of the iron-carbideeutectic in the residual melt is continually increased. At the same time, the temperature in the iron-graphite eutectic in the residual melt is lowered, since the melt is depleted of graphitizing elements as a result of segregation towards austenite. The consequence is a slow-down of solidification so that the solidification temperature is forced to drop, as is shown by Fig. 9.
In brief it can be concluded that high alloy contents increase the tendency for formation of grain boundary carbides. Understandably, addition of carbide formers, such as chromium, that both migrate towards the residual melt and increase the temperature of the iron-carbideeutectic hereby causes the most severe problems. Concentration of such elements in the melt last solidified (almost) always results in carbide formation.
Measures for prevention:
1. Select a nearly eutectic iron alloy composition, i.e. increase the proportion of graphitizing elements (e.g. Si, Ni) in the raw iron.
5. Generally keep the level of alloy elements rather low.
6. Avoid extended overheating periods in the furnace. This risk particularly occurs with high-power furnaces if they are not operated with furnace CPUs.

With heads tilted in critical evaluation, the office fell into a unusual silence unnerving the rest of the team. Normally, this kind of behaviour means one of two things. Either they were struggling to decide where to go for lunch or they had found something they liked. What had caught their attention? The new concept car from Honda.

Envision a peaceful world.
Let's not forget that there are many of us praying and practicing to create peace. Even right now, in this moment.
Here's a beautiful practice that you can do, it's called Loving Kindness and offers the immediate benefit of sweetening and changing old habituated negative patterns of thinking. You'll begin with focusing your attention on love, then on yourself, and from there, offering a blessing to others.
Set aside 10-20 minutes and give this practice a try:
- Sit down and relax your body. Close your eyes.
- Notice the rise and fall of your chest and bring your attention to your heart center. Place your hand there gently if you'd like.
- Take some time to cultivate a warm and gentle feeling. One way to do that is by bringing to mind someone who truly loves you and how it feels to be loved. Bask in the sensation of love.
- Next, bring your attention to yourself.
- Silently say some sweet things to yourself (see some examples and choose one that resonates with you, or come up with your own):
May I/you be filled with loving kindness.
May I/you be healthy. May I/you be free from suffering. May I/you be at peace.
May I/you be safe, may I/you be cared for, may I/you know love.
May I/you know and experience God fully.
- Be sincere, kind, and loving toward yourself.
- Notice how your heart and mind respond. Perhaps your heart fills with the warmth of your own love.
- Next, offer this same blessing to others.
- You can bring to your heart/mind those that are close to you, then others you believe are suffering, and even people who are difficult to love. Spend a little time on each person. There is no need to hurry.
- When you feel complete keep your eyes closed for a few minutes and enjoy for a few moments your state of being.
- The more you practice Loving Kindness, the more kind, loving and peaceful you'll be.
Each one of us can be a force of love and peace on this planet, even in the face of tragedy and strife. There is a centerpoint of peace in each and every one of us. Meditation helps you to dwell there.
Being grateful for our lives, imagining this earth as a peaceful place, and praying for the wellbeing of all its inhabitants can help make a difference in these chaotic moments.

In patients with multiple sclerosis, the body turns on itself, launching an immune system attack that destroys the coating around nerve fibers in the central nervous system, leaving them exposed like bare wires. Similar to exposed electrical lines, the unprotected fibers touch and short out, leading to the neurodegenerative effects that are a hallmark of multiple sclerosis.
But what if doctors could stop the immune response that destroys the protective coating before the disease becomes debilitating? University of Florida researchers have received a $40,000 grant from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to test a gene therapy technique in mice that aims to help the body not treat itself like a foreign invader— a process referred to as immune tolerance— in the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis. If the researchers can re-establish this tolerance, they could thwart the immune system attack, all with a technique that could be used on a wide number of patients.
“In previous years, we have learned a lot about how to manipulate tolerance using gene therapy,” said Brad Hoffman, an assistant professor of pediatrics in the UF College of Medicine. “Tolerance is your body’s way of not responding to substances that would otherwise induce an immune response so you don’t have an immune response to everything. In multiple sclerosis, the body loses that ability to distinguish between self and not-self so it starts to attack its own nervous system cells.”
About 2.3 million people worldwide suffer from multiple sclerosis, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The disease typically causes problems with vision, fatigue, speech, sensation and mobility. In advanced cases, multiple sclerosis can lead to blindness and paralysis.
Typically, gene therapy is used to correct a faulty gene in the body. In this case, researchers will deliver a gene responsible for a brain protein into the liver, via the harmless virus AAV, in hopes that it will spark production of regulatory T cells. These T cells, which suppress the immune system, are crucial because they could effectively shut down the immune attack in the brain, Hoffman said. The researchers are injecting the gene specifically into the liver because the organ filters out unwanted immune responses.
“Everything filters through the liver for detoxification,” Hoffman said. “Because of this, the liver has an innate capacity to induce immune tolerance. We have learned in other gene therapy studies that it is possible for the liver to make cells tolerant to the gene you are putting in.”

Board the award-winning, 138-foot, three-decked Ovation yacht for an evening of gourmet dining and DJ-spun sounds atop a water-defiant vessel. As you fill your eyes with the bobbing Detroit skyline and watch the sky-orange drench ripply waters in its juicy rays, fill your belly with an array of hors d'oeuvres, including cheese and fruit, white-cheddar pasta with grilled chicken breast, beef tenderloin with cambozola cheese, various desserts, coffee, and more. Bite-sized edibles pair swimmingly with two complimentary drinks, with more available from a full-service cash bar. At 11 p.m., the boat will park for a half-hour dockside float to cap off the first half of the evening, and to ease the strain on hardworking open waters exhausted from keeping the heavy ship afloat.
Great Lakes Kiteboarding and its crew of master mariners specialize in converting everyday hydrophobes into Poseidon-punishing aquatic athletes. In a five-hour private lesson, nautical novices can strap a slab of fiberglass to their feet and master wind-riding fundamentals like launching from boat and beach, proper riding form, and self-rescue. Apprentices seeking the deepest secrets of ancient boarders are invited to study at one of Great Lake Kiteboarding’s weekend camps. Starting with ground training to keep too much land from lubbing onto the kites, students will spend a Saturday morning learning about equipment, wind windows, beach etiquette, and safety before hitting the waves to learn basics of riding and landing. After lunch, it’s back out on the water to learn advanced techniques like self-launching, changing direction, and riding the edge, with all of Sunday devoted to honing newfound skills on the water while instructors on WaveRunners play safety shepherd.
Simple Adventures lets kayakers pick their own paddling venue and delivers its people-propelled water-vehicle rentals straight to customers' preferred launching spots. Spite faithless guidance counselors by ordering up floating leg covers and morphing into the Transformer you always dreamed of becoming for a four-hour, half-day watery sojourn ($50), a full 8-hour day with paddle-armed fun ($75), or rent by the hour ($15 / hr).

Next Level's head trainer Michael Fox has trained clients of all fitness levels?from athletes to a 72-year-old nun. His versatile training techniques, or perhaps his willingness to work any soreness out of a client's muscles with a foam roller after a session, prompted Allure to name him one of Detroit's best trainers. At Next Level, he and his fellow trainers lead custom private sessions and group classes that focus on diverse workouts ranging from weight training to kickboxing to yoga. Members can always work out solo on the gym's free weights and cardio machines, too, motivated by playlists of high-energy jams or just a voice sporadically yelling "Faster, FASTER".

Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates
Obstetrics & Gynecology located in Atlanta, GA
Surgery is sometimes required to resolve gynecological issues that cause symptoms such as irregular uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. The team at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates in Atlanta, Georgia, uses minimally invasive techniques to give you precise results and a faster recovery. If you need a hysterectomy, myomectomy, or other minimally invasive surgery to address gynecological problems, call the office on Peachtree Road or Collier Road, or book an appointment online to set up a consultation.
Robotic Surgery Surgeons
Julia Samaddar, MD, FACOG is a board-certified physician serving patients in Atlanta, Georgia providing obstetrics and gynecology services to the Georgia community. Trained in high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynecological procedures including the da Vinci® Surgical System
Denise Umpierrez-Morley, MD, FACOG, is an OB/GYN who joined the team at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates in 2019. She is dedicated to providing women’s health care services to patients in Atlanta, Georgia.
Minimally Invasive Surgery Q & A
What is minimally invasive surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery is an advanced form of surgery that minimizes trauma to your body while still treating your problematic condition.
Compared to traditional open surgery, which uses a large incision through your abdomen to access your reproductive organs, minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and special surgical tools, like a laparoscopic camera.
The surgeons at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates use the most advanced surgical techniques, including laparoscopy and the da Vinci® surgical platform. The da Vinci system enables surgeons to perform with extraordinarily high precision, vision, and control that’s not available with standard surgical procedures.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery offers numerous benefits when compared to traditional open surgery. These include:
- Less blood loss and scarring
- More surgical precision during the procedure
- Shorter (if any) hospital stays
- Reduced risk of postoperative infection
- Faster recovery
Minimally invasive surgical techniques are the preferred way to perform gynecological procedures. Of course, some cases still require a traditional open surgical approach to achieve the safest and most beneficial outcome.
What are the available types of minimally invasive surgery?
Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates offers state-of-the-art health care for women, including many minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as:
Laparoscopic surgery involves the use of a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube affixed with a light and camera. Your surgeon inserts the laparoscope through small incisions to project detailed images of the surgical site onto a computer screen.
The images can help diagnose a gynecological condition and guide your surgeon to use small tools to perform surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is common for endometriosis, ovarian cysts or masses, fibroids, and hysterectomy.
With five decades of combined experience, the surgeons at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates specialize in minimally invasive hysterectomies to correct conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, uterine prolapse, cancer, and abnormal uterine bleeding.
Depending on your particular case, you may undergo a:
- Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy to remove the uterus and possibly the fallopian tubes and ovaries
- Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy to remove the upper two-thirds of the uterus
- Total laparoscopic hysterectomy to remove the uterus and the cervix
A vaginal hysterectomy removes the organs through the vagina rather than through an abdominal incision.
After a hysterectomy, you enter menopause. The team at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates can help you manage this transition and ease symptoms.
NovaSure® endometrial ablation is a simple, minimally invasive surgical procedure that halts heavy menstrual bleeding by destroying the uterus’ lining.
MyoSure® fibroid and polyp removal
MyoSure uses a specialized hysteroscope to remove abnormal tissue that causes pain or heavy periods. The procedure is minimally invasive and quick, lasting just 30 minutes.
Your provider may perform a myomectomy or fibroid removal with laparoscopic or robotic assistance. This procedure is an alternative treatment for symptomatic fibroids for women who want to preserve their uterus for possible future pregnancy.
If you need minimally invasive surgery for gynecological issues, contact Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates by phone or online to request an appointment.

The beauty of simplicity: Bird in Hand & Ivory Hollow Farmstead
These days, Megan and Bryan Thurman call a 31-foot Airstream home. The iconic silver travel trailer is currently parked on a picturesque property in the rural southern edge of Sylva.
It’s a lush 6-acre mountain paradise named Ivory Hollow Farmstead. With a large focus on organic growing, the Thurmans harvest the land and sell the produce to customers within Jackson County.
The young couple also works at Innovation Brewing in downtown Sylva, many-a-time alongside each other, slinging some of the finest craft beer in Western North Carolina to locals and touristds alike.
But, when they’re not farming or pouring pints, the duo performs music together as Bird in Hand — a sound and tone located at the intersection of Americana and old-time folk music.
“This style of music fits perfectly with our love of travel and ease, and we’re trying to live a life that’s worth singing about,” Megan said. “I never really felt it more strongly until we moved here — into the woods and also around such a supportive community.”
And whenever there is a free moment to tour, Bird in Hand continually hits the road, playing small clubs and raucous venues around Southern Appalachia. Soon, the act will release its second album.
“Folk music has been here since the Europeans arrived and has stayed through every other genre that has come and gone,” Bryan said. “It’s remained essentially the same in its core, but has had all that time to evolve — and it has, subtly.”
Witnessing Bird in Hand live, it’s a stripped-down stage setup, one where the focus is on the melodic harmonies created between the two musicians — their songbird voices and acoustic notes swirling around whatever space they and the audience may happily occupy.
“I feel like folk music is this common ground that people can meet on,” Megan added. “So much of the storytelling aspect relates all types of people together, emotions that we all feel, current situations we’re all exposed to, and with a strong backbone in this region. To me, it’s what these mountains sound like — warm and worn, full of secrets and celebration.”

Voice Concern for Liberty: Kamal Haasan on Cinematograph Act Draft
The proposed amendments to the Cinematograph Act 1952 would give the Centre revisionary powers on film certification
Actor-politician Kamal Haasan spoke up about the proposed Cinematograph Act 2021 which gives the Centre "revisionary" powers to re-examine the certification of films already cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Kamal Haasan tweeted, "Cinema, media and the literati can't afford to be the three iconic monkeys of India. Seeing, hearing and speaking of impending evil is the only medication against attempts to injure and debilitate democracy. Please act, voice your concern for freedom and liberty."
In April, the Centre scrapped the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal where filmmakers could make appeals for certification if they didn't agree with the certification board.
Several filmmakers and artistes also wrote an appeal to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting urging the Centre to revoke the amendments to the Cinematograph Act 1952. Filmmakers Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Neeraj Ghaywan, and actors Shabana Azmi and Farhan Akhtar were among the signatories.
According to the amendments proposed to the Cinematograph Act, the Union government can direct the CBFC to re-examine any film which has been certified for public exhibition citing a violation of Section 5B(1) of the Act.
Section 5B (1) states: "A film shall not be certified for public exhibition if, in the opinion of the authority competent to grant the certificate, the film or any part of it is against the interests of [the sovereignty and integrity of India] the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or involves defamation or contempt of court or is likely to incite the commission of any offence."
The Centre released a draft of the bill and sought comments from the public which will be accepted till 2 July.

No rapper knows the value of a guest verse the way 2 Chainz does: appearing on other artists’ songs, and dominating, has been crucial to his ascent over the last couple of years. “Might not be your favorite artist/But your favorite artist got a verse from me,” he raps proudly on Fabolous’s current hit “When I Feel Like It.”
He managed that climb thanks to a gift for improbable boasts — even he sounded surprised — that had more impact coming from an outsider than from a star, and their punch carried through to his 2012 debut album, “Based on a T.R.U. Story.”
But now he’s on top, more or less, and the exulting has a different tone on the mixed “B.O.A.T.S. II #METIME” (Def Jam): it feels more tossed off, less thrilling. In places, 2 Chainz still has a sparkling, odd wit — “heart filled with passion, neck filled with mansions,” he raps on “U Da Realest,” or, when, on “Feds Watching,” he describes throwing money in the strip club as “make you and George Washington headbutt.”
But his exclamations are a little less emphatic than when he was eating up someone else’s airtime. And he’s a better stylist, full of vocal tics and idiosyncrasies, than a lyricist, which means that the how of his delivery almost always outstrips the what of his words.
Maybe it’s to be expected, then, that the standouts here are his guests: Drake is strong on the Lex Luger ripoff “I Do It”; Fergie is surprisingly sharp on “Netflix”; Rich Homie Quan lifts the mundane “Extra”; and T-Pain does classic T-Pain, already a retro mode, on “So We Can Live.” If 2 Chainz takes a supporting role on these songs, so be it: he’s become an artist worth piggybacking. JON CARAMANICA
Terroir, the way a local environment shapes its products, is usually a concept for winemakers and farmers. It also, clearly, means a lot to Arctic Monkeys on their fifth studio album, “AM,” which was recorded at the studio in Joshua Tree, Calif., that’s the epicenter of desert rock.
Arctic Monkeys emerged a decade ago from Sheffield, England, playing post-punk with jittery tempos and grappling guitars. Since then, they have toyed with five decades of guitar rock, as Alex Turner’s lyrics detail a very British mix of self-doubt and pugnacity, sulking articulately about romance gone awry.
All four previous Artic Monkeys studio albums had their debuts at No. 1 in Britain, but the United States has been more resistant. Apparently, the band considers that a challenge. Its 2009 album, “Humbug,” was also recorded in Joshua Tree, and largely produced by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age; he only makes cameo appearances on “AM” but has affected the songwriting far more. The band’s 2011 album, “Suck It and See,” was recorded in Los Angeles and had echoes of psychedelia.
“AM” heads for a more contemporary California, where lean desert rock meets low-slung hip-hop beats. Mr. Turner still sings mostly about lovers who got away. But the band’s tempos have slowed, and the drums are more terse and bottom-heavy — as in “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High,” which could almost be a Squeeze song produced by Dr. Dre.
For half of “AM,” Arctic Monkeys are converts to desert rock, suspending tensile guitar riffs and long vocal lines over sparse drumbeats. Then the music heads partway toward the Britain of John Lennon and David Bowie, though with more brusque, hip-hop-influenced rhythm tracks. The songs are still sullen, smart and cleverly constructed. But too often on “AM,” Arctic Monkeys sound less like amalgamators than like imitators. JON PARELES
No country singer wants to affirm you more than Keith Urban, who’s expert if not quite exciting in the genre of “girl, you’re awesome” songs. “Fuse,” his new album, is lousy with them, and with so many stacked so close together, even the most flattered person would chafe.
“Fuse” is different from other recent albums by Mr. Urban in the scale of its production, though. He’s been poking his head out of the Nashville machine, but a judge’s chair on “American Idol” and a few phone calls to pop producers do not a rebel make. Difference in country is a game of millimeters, trading one conservatism for another.
That means a meaty chant near the end of “Even the Stars Fall 4 U” or a head-fake club-music intro to “Red Camaro” or dim lyrics on “Little Bit of Everything” that mildly spoil his good-guy sheen: “I want a cool chick that’ll cook for me/but’ll dance on the bar in her tan bare feet/ and do what I want when I want.”
But real change comes from within, and no number of collaborators can unearth something that just isn’t there. Case in point: “Come Back to Me,” written by Shane McAnally, Brandy Clark and Trevor Rosen, songwriters who prefer ambiguity and anguish over directness and sunshine. Produced by Mr. Urban with Butch Walker, who has a gift for restless rock arrangements, it doesn’t allow Mr. Urban to be placid.
Mr. Urban has been ably sad before — see his gut-punch hit of a decade ago, “You’ll Think of Me” — but rarely is he unresolved. And while this song has the shadow of Gary Allan’s loneliness about it, Mr. Urban doesn’t possess Mr. Allan’s sorrow. The words are working hard here, and the music is, too, but Mr. Urban is gliding through, barely quaking at all. JON CARAMANICA
WILLIS EARL BEAL
Willis Earl Beal is only in his late 20s, but he’s got the gift of a backdated gospel voice that a lot of singers would take out a serious mortgage for, with a gentle vibrato shake, tender high notes and a vivid growl. In “Nobody Knows.,” his squirrelly second record, he seems ambivalent about what to do with it. He likes to show it off.
He likes to squander it, too.
He’s not against a sturdy arrangement idea: in the down-and-out narrative “Wavering Lines,” a string section creeps in and methodically spreads tension; in “Coming Through,” he remonstrates over an anachronistic soul-band chug. But more often, he pulls his voice through meandering, patience-trying repetition over simple chord sequences, like work songs or chanteys, plucked on a guitar or plinked on a piano. Bridges? Hooks? He’d prefer not to.
Mr. Beal can write lyrics that click along with internal rhymes and strong images. His singing can raise the hair on the back of your neck without changing chords. (Look up his a cappella version of an older song, “Swing On Low,” during his online interview with the comically nebbishy Nardwuar.)
But “Nobody Knows.” radiates a suspicion that pleasing you would be all too easy. He’d rather insist, it seems, that there is no fixed ideal of a song, of a singer, of anything. (The song titles tell it: “Everything Unwinds,” “Burning Bridges,” “Disintegrating.”) His home is the post-pop, outsideresque tradition: the later, distressed-sounding Tom Waits, or the earlier work by Chan Marshall of Cat Power, who sings backup vocals on “Coming Through.” There’s strong intelligence and musicality here, though it’s hard to see through all Mr. Beal’s negation and resistance. It’s possible to like this record in theory while imagining one that’s 50 percent more enjoyable. BEN RATLIFF
Binaries pose an irresistible challenge for Emiliana Torrini, an Icelandic singer-songwriter of delicate strength and tactile mysticism. “Tookah,” her extremely poised new album, reaches its synthpop apogee with a track called “Speed of Dark,” which starts as a breakup song and ends as an invitation to run away together. “I don’t even know right now/Who we are,” Ms. Torrini sings in each of the first three verses, and the emotional tenor of the line keeps shifting in context, which feels like the point.
Ms. Torrini had a commercial breakthrough with her album “Me and Armini” (2008). Its standout single was “Jungle Drum,” a yawp of contentment that uses its title phrase to describe the hopeful leap of her heart.
Ms. Torrini reaches for a similar metaphor — “Roar in my heart” — in one of the slinkier tunes on “Tookah,” a near-samba in 5/4 meter. But the song is “Home,” and the roar in question belongs more to a hearth fire than to a beast. Ms. Torrini has become a mother since “Me and Armini,” and the new album feels more settled, if hardly more secure.
“Autumn Sun,” one of several intoxicating ballads sung softly against an acoustic guitar, takes shape as a wistful reflection on her younger self before hardening into a tale of romantic infringement. “Desire is rage/And rage is desire,” she declares on “When Fever Breaks.”
Ms. Torrini wrote most of these songs with her longtime producer, Dan Carey. That’s his subtly martial drum programming on “Animal Games,” a post-breakup song that begins with this metaphorical jab: “Your heart is like a dough/You shape it how you want.” Ms. Torrini may be returning to a favorite subject there, but with her arms crossed, and her own pulse willfully steady. NATE CHINEN
The pianist-composer Carla Bley has never had a problem expressing her slanted but sturdy logic, typically scoring her music for a big band or a midsize combo. “Trios” is the definitive document of a chamberlike trio she has led on the road for the last 20 years, with her longtime partner Steve Swallow on bass, and Andy Sheppard on tenor and soprano saxophones. It’s also a good distillation of her language, an argument for its unforced insight and plainspoken grace.
All the music on “Trios” has been recorded elsewhere over the years, which accounts for the album’s air of retrospection. Because most previous versions featured larger ensembles, there’s also a sense of reduction, as if the album were an exhibition of preparatory sketches.
But the album isn’t a side note, because Ms. Bley and her band mates bring so much life to their interactions, with one another and with the material. This is especially true on “Wildlife,” a three-part suite from the 1980s, and “Vashkar,” perhaps best known for a 1963 version by the pianist Paul Bley (the composer’s husband at the time).
Ms. Bley’s calmly interrogatory pianism is matched to Mr. Swallow’s springy electric bass sound, and they have a straight man in Mr. Sheppard: his dry melancholy on “Utviklingssang,” a Nordic-inspired ballad, would be hard to top.
Remarkably, this is the first album Ms. Bley has ever made with a producer: Manfred Eicher, the founder of ECM, which has been her distributor but never her label home. And it’s no slight to suggest that Mr. Eicher serves as a fourth artistic presence on “Trios,” because the end result presents Ms. Bley’s vision so clearly. NATE CHINEN
