Thank you for reviewing this exercise. What's unique about the five step de-stress process is that it uses a combination of mindfulness techniques and elements of somatic therapy – so you get both a deepening of awareness and an experience of your capacity to focus that awareness in the body.
So to start, find a comfortable seat where you can be relatively undisturbed for about five minutes.
Then, step 2, is to harness that awareness and intentionally move it to a particular location or system in the body. In this case we're going to the legs – bring some extra awareness to your lower legs – beneath the knees – and as you hold that awareness include the ankles, feet – and then the soles of the feet which contain massive quantities of sensors. Let those open up.
If your attention drifts off – similar to meditation, bring your awareness back to the legs – and what you'll notice is that the strength of the sensation, the presence in the legs, is still strong.
So for step 3 – Take that same intention and begin to bring awareness up, in a systematic way, through the musculature of the rest of the body (for now we're ignoring the viscera – that's a possibility for another audio – how to settle the viscera or internal organs) – but right now bring this extra awareness into the upper legs, through the pelvis, to the lower back and abdomen, and up through your chest and out from your shoulders to your arms, and hands. Then include you neck, face, and whole head. Notice that you can now, with this extra intention, have a really full, robust sense of the muscular system of the whole body. Hold this awareness for a moment.
The next step is to simply let go of that intention – sort of like exhaling but the lungs aren't involved – you might sense a release of energy, you might sense a relaxation in the body – whatever it is, just take some time to let it play out.
That's pretty much how the process works. Step five is simply noticing when physical stress returns to the body – or that your sense of presence, awareness of the body, has diminished – then you might want to find another five minutes to go through the body again – use of the process is cumulative and the next time, you'll get even more awareness, and more benefit – thank you.
Dual awareness is a process. You start with a very basic awareness of the seated body then become aware of the inside of the body. Follow the settling of the musculature, respiration, heart rate, whatever is helping the process of parasympathetic down-regulation. And at the same time — encourage awareness of the whole body so that no areas escape the influence of the movement toward the parasympathetic base.
It is awareness of this parasympathetic base and sustained presence in it that allows more active states to come into focus without taking too much of the body energy and resources that the base has quelled. One simple example is with a worry that arises during a state of presence in the parasympathetic base; The worry will active a stress response, but here it has less ability to reach into the base to mobilize energy for its own use.
In addition, there is feedback to the brain from the calm body of a positive state existing along side the fear or worry. This tends to balance the tension between the body and the brain. The worrying brain is free of the heaviness of bodily anxiety and can be clearer. And the body is not under alert that it will be called upon to mobilize defensive energy as often.
Dual awareness is the gateway to further differentiation of experience in the body. It is possible to differentiate body layers and structures and begin to do more nuanced work in the interrelationship of body structures and systems.
I have recently been blending techniques of meditation and those of body awareness into a single meditation that I call a somatic meditation. What I am going to share with you is a way to use the concentrated awareness of meditation to more deeply sense the physical body. Observation of the physical and emotional states of the body becomes easier, and patterns of behavior and impulses can be felt using this process. Some of these may be noticed immediately but it's more likely that gradually, over time, as with physical training, you will begin to become more familiar, day-to-day, with these previously unconscious patterns. There is more to this of course: certain illnesses and dys-regulations and stress and trauma symptoms respond well to a process such as this that allows them slowly to be reintegrated into the everyday experience of the body. For now here is a basic meditation that begins to form a more conscious mind and body communication. Some of this sounds like your normal guided meditation, but be patient, because it ends differently than you might expect.
Feel the energy and activation of the past few moments as it dissipates and flows out of you.
Wait. let the body continue to slow down, staying conscious of the settling process in the body.
As your awareness deepens and drifts beyond the breath, concentrate this expanded awareness back on the breath. Stay here at least five minutes.
Next, while still attending to the breath, slowly begin to become aware of your body. You are now starting to practice a duel awareness (of breath and body) – think of your breath awareness as if it were the awareness itself and from there begin to notice what else gets your attention. You may start by noticing the effect of your breath in the body – how it creates expansion in the in-breath and relaxation on the out-breath. And then gradually bring in awareness of more of the body, letting the sensations of your inside physiology enter your awareness as you also stay with the breath.
As you sit with the sense of the whole body, continue to let the information from your body flow, uninhibited, into consciousness. You are now in a curious, non-judgemental state of observation.
After a few moments allow yourself to feel the relationship of the body to the outside, sensing with your skin your contact with your seat and the room.
All this time you are still anchored in the awareness of the breath – which remains even when you are fully returned from the practice.
Just before you move away from breath awareness make a bridge back into what you recall as the deepest part of the meditation. Notice what it is like to make this transition. Stay here for just a moment before crossing back over the bridge.
Please check the Workshops page for a description of my new workshop on somatic touch. But first, the inspiration: I was recently in California for a training/reunion with graduates of Kathy Kain's certification program in Somatic Experiencing Touch. We practiced going deeply into the body by using a combination of visualization and focused sensing with our hands. (Sensing also uses the conscious whole body as part of the sensing instrument – the hands are just the contact point and happen to have lots of sensors). The reason we brought in visualization was that we were sensing and trying to effect change in some of the internal systems such as visceral, endocrine and fluid systems. These are not easily palpable. There is a period of sitting, waiting while your sensitivity develops, and while the subtle movements in the client's body begin to come into focus. Visualization helps you move your awareness. It keeps it from remaining on easily recognized structures. So we assisted ourselves by guiding awareness with a combination of technical knowledge (where is the hypothalamus?) and narrative about letting yourself imagine the flow of hormones from the brain to the glands along the midline of the body. And we also visualized the general sense of the endocrine system, for one, gathering information from throughout the body and then sending its regulatory response back into the body, creating a loop. There was something about the visualization that let you begin to feel into the actual experience after a period of time. The client, also, in this kind of work, is participating in the sensing. So whatever benefit there may be in helping regulate and balance these systems, the client has been consciously involved in the process, so can continue to move on to further embodiment work.
I thought it would be interesting to introduce this kind of work to a few other people here in Maine. My expectations for this first group will be to 1. practice sensing through layers of the body, and 2. to begin to get a sense of what I call a dual awareness – the ability to ground awareness in one place and then let it also move elsewhere so that you can facilitate communication between systems.
I have been practicing Qigong (art of working with chi energy).
A few minutes ago as I was practicing forming a chi ball between my hands, I realized that whatever else it is chi is part of the atmosphere. Open your car window and press your hand into the air at 25 miles per hour and you will feel the pressure of the substance of the atmosphere. At a stand-still, that substance is still there and will move with any motion you make. It seems silly after stating that, but I feel compelled to make a point of the fact that you can feel the air. And, that you can manipulate it; stretch it, compress it. When you (borrowed from Qigong) gather the chi and move it toward the body, which can also sense, you will have an internal sensation that corresponds to the movement of the chi, toward and into the body. What I know from somatic touch practice is that each body, and the same body in different circumstances, will have a unique response to a given event, and the movement of this substance as I am now beginning to experience, is reacted to as well. Some areas of the body that are constricted, or otherwise unavailable, may take longer to "open" to its influence. When it transfers from the external, general force, to the body's internal reaction, The outside force becomes part of the organic structure of the body. The body resonates with its influence.
How this can be applied therapeutically is suggested above regarding the uniqueness of individuals. The symptom in the body tend to be highlighted when conscious attention is brought into the body. Both the internal attention and the influencing effect of the "chi" energy help bring the dynamics of a symptom forward and create an opportunity for a balancing or reintegration with the whole body.
In my work I have the opportunity to teach people techniques I have learned in my own practice. There are a number of experiments I've put together as hybrids of various practices. One of these brings progressive awareness, along with progressive energy, to one, and then another area of the body. Starting with the hands and wrists for example; and then continues to add areas of awareness and energy until you have incrementally raised the levels of both of these and have created a noticeable sensation throughout the body.
Why would you want to do this? It is, admittedly the basic, avenue to self-healing. And the beginning of the ability to sense and manipulate the space around you relative to the movement of your body. In my understanding, this is the sense of the Chi. It is also a way to sense your own body at a deep and nuanced level.
The energy that you build on top of awareness is a second level of consciousness. It adds vibrancy because it is more physical, and because it is more physical, it is more noticeable to the brain and mind. It gets the attention of the mind in the same way digestive and other sensations signal and alert the brain. When this new layer of energy is added to awareness awareness can be more intentional. Power develops, in the sense of control, over the distribution of the awareness and energy.
The next level is the relationship of the sensation in the body to the movement of the body in the forms. When I am in Qigong mode, it can become intense to the point that the chi will resist even the slightest movement. I may feel the whole body activate to support a slight movement of an arm. The internal sense, especially when the body is relaxed and receptive, is one that is the exact parallel of the resistance and movement of the chi. More on this later.

A Fascination with Trees
When Terry Allen left Lubbock, Texas to pursue his youthful ambitions it's doubtful he could have foreseen his status nearly six decades later as a legendary painter, conceptual artist, composer, and musician. Terry's work is unusually diverse but certain themes are common: the mysteries of love, surviving loss, and the consequences of violence are just a few, often expressed with sardonic humor and a heightened sense of irony.
Terry is particularly celebrated as a chronicler of the off-beat, the surreal, and the just plain weird in American life. In his interview with the Stuart Collection's Mary Beebe and Mathieu Gregoire, Terry notes that his appreciation for the off-kilter arose in part from his childhood in Lubbock, a highly conservative place with its share of colorful and disreputable characters. A burgeoning iconoclast, he fled Lubbock for Los Angeles in the mid-1960s seeking to establish himself as an artist. It was only after disavowing Lubbock and West Texas for many years that Terry came to appreciate the influence of his upbringing on his worldview and his art. This understanding was beautifully expressed in his groundbreaking 1979 release "Lubbock (On Everything)" which contains two of Your Humble Correspondent's favorites, "Truckload of Art" and "The Collector (and the Art Mob)." "Lubbock…" along with his earlier conceptual album "Juarez" cemented Terry Allen's reputation as an "outlaw country" artist, a designation he's not comfortable with as he finds it limiting, if not meaningless.
Terry also discusses his fascination with trees, understandable in someone growing up in a place "so flat that if you stare at the horizon hard enough you can see the back of your head." This attraction inspired his creation of a commission for Stuart Collection entitled "Trees," a collection of three metal-clad trees: a singing tree that plays an eclectic mixture of music; a talking (or poetry) tree that plays various spoken word pieces; and a silent tree placed in front of UC San Diego's Geisel Library. The singing and talking trees are blended into a eucalyptus grove, lending an air of both mystery and discovery to the passersby. As with many of the Stuart Collection pieces, the objective is to "bring the inexplicable" to campus, and Terry Allen is well-versed in the enigmatic.

Great game btw, right SH?
Yeah, very good time to be listening to the Dodgers; you don't normally say a team is having a good season this early, but they're having a good season..
Just ordered a Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna Signal Booster from C.Crane.
Get yourself a TV-tray sized table/space somewhere outdoors away from the house where you can lay it all out, then on an evening when the weather's comfortable right after sunset, prepare for some serious tuning..
As much as you guys like the pocket portables, I'm surprised you don't go for the Sony SRF-T615; mine can almost match my 7600GR move for move, pretty amazing for a radio that would fit inside the case of most other pocket units. 5S8 has got me listening to these Dodgers games now, they're on quite a roll..
I remember when you recommended the SRF-T615 several years back. I researched it back then and everyone, like you, raved about it and it is a classic. The cheapest I could find one was well over $100.00. I debated about pulling the trigger for weeks and decided against it. It was too rich for my blood. It's unattainable now.
As I've grown older, I'm more careful about opening my wallet, (read, "cheap" ). These tiny Chinese radios for $6.00 to $25.00 today are superior in sensitivity and even sound to anything that are as small and handy as these are that was available back when the SRF-T615 ruled the roost around 2012 and still does I take it.
Again, I'm loving this tiny PR12 as it has good sensitivity in both AM/FM bands and decent sound and as a bonus plays my playlists. A bargain at $20.00!
Seems like the sold in the Japanese market but available here, SRF-T355 PLL is the successor to the SRF-T615 but doesn't look to be as quality built.

Yeah, I'd still love a Tecsun A6, that one was a good call..
A6 still available at anon-co.com!
I would also consider looking at the Tecsun ICR-100 as well. It's smaller than the A6 and sound is equivalent. I just spent about a week camping in the desert in Big Bend TX and at night when I was ready to listen to some music I have on a SD card I would swap between the Tecsun ICR-100 and the Tecsun IRC-110. Between the 100 and the 110 if I could only use one I would choose the 110 mainly because the radio uses a single 16650 battery so I'm sure it has a much longer runtime. Both have a passive radiator speaker.
^ I have two ICR-100s, and many BL-5C batteries, which work well. I use them as mp3 players mostly, but the FM is also very good with the lanyard acting as the antennae. Recently stocked up on microSDs also. I listen to recorded programs and songs burned from cds.
Interesting Steve and the ICR-100 is a nice, small radio and no big deal but the 110 uses a 18650 cell and it's a great radio on it's own.
I'm not a big fan of BL-5C cells but they're flat and make these radios so slim and small. Even though these radios don't have shuffle or random play, I've been saying for awhile that the micro SD cards they accept are still very nice as you can tailor them with your personal playlists or whatever you want.
Jay Allen updated his website with a review of the Radiwow R-108. While the radio reviewed OK given the radio is an early production sample I will not buy a counterfeit Skywave even if it saves a few bucks.
Intellectual property has to be protected if advancements are to continue. The manufacture has put C.Crane in a tough position.
I totally agree Steve! Man, China has so many imitation products nowadays, you may get an acceptable product or total junk. Of course the draw is unbelievable prices that are sometimes too hard to pass up.
China is the greatest nation on the planet..... When it comes to reverse engineering anything made by others.
I got a RADIWOW R-108. It's made in China. So is the CC Skywave. So China is copying China. Who would have thunk? Both are great radios - but are not the same. The R-108 uses BL-5C batteries - Skywave: 2 AA. The R-108 has great sound - a tad better than the Skywave. To access memory, you hit the number buttons - the R-108 has VM / VF and you turn the knob on the top right hand side. Skywave has an AM/FM button - to get from AM to FM, you have to hit the band button past SW and Air.
I agree but so was Japan back in the day long before before China took over!
I've been tuning in (after midnight - they might start around 1 or 2 hours prior) on AM 680 KNBR San Francisco early in the morning to catch Dodger and Giants game rebroadcasts. Straight line distance: 429.26 miles away. Recorded with a Tecsun ICR-110. Best reception (from indoors) is where the cat sleeps - so she heard those home run commentaries lol.
Last edited by 5S8Zh5; 04-10-2019 at 05:45 AM.
Which do you think performs best on AM?
CC Skywave. The RADIWOW R-108 has a bug that was / is ID'd in one of todderberts videos - when the signal strength display is shown and you're tuning MW, reception suffers. The fix being turning off / changing said display, turning off unit, then turning it back on, and all should be right with the world. My Skywave and CC Pocket (and PL-606, PL-310ET) are used as station verifiers - especially when DX'ng with an analog dial portable, or any new radio for that matter.
Going to record a game using the Twin Coil Ferrite next.

Just to say that I've been searching for a smaller, inexpensive but decent quality radio that has random/shuffle play. Since the Retekess radios have been mentioned already and are of good quality especially with their reasonable prices, I came across the Retekess V115.
It's a medium/small radio with many outstanding features! It's AM/FM and shortwave and can record and accepts a 32GB micro SD card. It really is a feature filled little radio with an LCD screen.
It doesn't advertise so but a gent on another forum found an undiscovered mode where if you press the menu button down while the MP3 function is playing, it'll shift to repeat song, repeat all songs, repeat folder AND RANDOM/SHUFFLE play! Cool!
On top of all this, it's only $17.86 with free shipping over on the Retekess Store at AliExpress. Seems like quite a bargain for so many features. The only thing I don't care for, (it's just me!), is that it uses the BL-5C cell which really isn't much of a negative.
I got a dedicated mp3 (with FM) player the other day because with my ICR-100 and ICR-110, they would not remember where I left off when listening to ball games that I recorded. I used the ICR-110 to record rebroadcast Giants and Dodger games on AM 680 out of San Francisco, and they record into :59 mp3 files. So a 3 hour and change game may have 4 files. When I replay them on either of the Tecsuns, they don't remember where you left when you stop, turn off, then start again. This Maozua is the ticket. ( and it has shuffle ).
Went to see the Las Vegas Aviators play the Fresno Grizzlies at their new Triple A stadium (new team name also, formerly known in the Pacific Coast League as the Las Vegas 51s). If you're familiar with Vegas, that's the Red Rock Casino hotel tower in the first pic's background(left). Took along the Sony ICF-P26 and ipod buds. It's great to hear what's going on when the catcher was thrown out and the third base coach walks over to the plate umpire to discuss (no dirt kicks lol). Then, when the Aviators' catcher is thrown out of the game and the head coach has a long meeting at the plate with the ump, and they call over the first base ump - you can hear what's going on. Great baseball radio.
I just received my 16mb Maozua mp3 player tonight and so far I like it. Build quality is really good and the player sounds great with my Apple Airpods.
When you get a chance, I would appreciate it if you could give some feedback on the Bluetooth range of your Maozua. Today I went on a walk with mine connected to the Airpods and found when carrying the Maozua in my hands with my arms straight down I would lose connection. I also lost connection if I put the Maozua in my front pant pocket. I have to say I am a little disappointed. The workaround would be to hang the Maozua around my neck but I would think that shouldn't be necessary. Anyone else have this issue with a Bluetooth MP3 player?
Sorry..., I don't use bluetooth.
Sounds defective; even old school stay-nearby Bluetooth was good for ~30 feet, and through walls. You can get around it by putting a Bluetooth transmitter on the headphone jack.
I'm around, just been finding ways to spend my tax refund..
Easy, just donate your refund to radioaholics.com!
Ha, i'm actually pretty set for my radio needs, my wife will at some point restore our online access to SiriusXM so we'll be able to listen to that on our devices, that's about it..
Yeah could be defective but what is odd is that I get decent range using a UE Megaboom and Ncredible N1 headphones but not a lot of range using a UE Role and Airpods. It's a mystery.
Just got me a Retekess PR15 for $8.77 shipped.
I just received mine today. This thing is really nice! Great sensitivity and the sound is incredible for such a tiny thing. The FM antenna on this is very stout unlike the PR12. Really  with it! Thanks Don!
Awesome! All three of the Retekess radios that I've have exceptional and noteworthy sound; Retekess TIVDIO V-115, and the PR12 & PR15.
I live on the out skirts of Nashville and the AM station I listen to has some challenges when I use the PR12 when I walk. How would you guys compare the AM sensitivity between the PR12 and PR15? I'm trying to decide if it I would gain any additional performance. Also how would you compare the audio quality between the two.

A Streetcar Named Desire returns to the Lyric
Aoibhéann McCann with photo of Stella McCusker as Blanche (picture by Brian Morrison).
The Lyric Theatre is proud to present Tennessee Williams' iconic play A Streetcar Named Desire, 4 May – 8 June. Directed by Irish Times Theatre Award winning director Emma Jordan, the last time it was performed at the Lyric was in 1984 with Stella McCusker playing the tragic heroine – Blanche DuBois.
Set in the stifling heat of New Orleans' Latin Quarter in the 1940s, A Streetcar Named Desire follows wilting southern beauty, Blanche DuBois (Aoibheann McCann), as she attempts to escape her former life and past trauma. Blanche takes up residence in her sister Stella's (Meghan Tyler) cramped two-room apartment, much to the irritation of her boorish and abrasive brother-in-law Stanley. But as details of Blanche's past come to light, she incurs the suspicion and then wrath of Stanley (Mark Huberman), and her sense of reality begins to shatter.
Culminating in a violent clash of characters and natures, illusion and reality, A Streetcar Named Desire brings the subjects of gender, identity, sexuality, desire and fate into stark light in this Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The latest Lyric production will be given a contemporary feel by director Emma Jordan.
Delighted to support the work of the Lyric Theatre, Damian Smyth, Head of Drama and Literature at The Arts Council of Northern Ireland, said: "So many of Tennessee Williams's themes resonate with strains in Irish culture and society, and with the exceptional vision of Emma Jordan and the classic that is A Streetcar Named Desire the Lyric has found the perfect pairing for yet another memorable evening of theatre."
Executive Producer of the Lyric Theatre, Jimmy Fay, added: "We are thrilled to be bringing A Streetcar Named Desire back to the Lyric Theatre this summer, which will be directed by the excellent and award winning Emma Jordan. Perhaps Williams' most acclaimed work, this play will fascinate audiences with its contemporary feel whilst still staying to true to the extraordinary truth and spirit of this essential classic."
Performances run from 4 May – 8 June, with preview performances from 4 – 7 May, at 7.45pm (Tues – Sat) and 2.30pm (Sat & Sun Matinee). Tickets from £15.00 – £24.50 available now at www.lyrictheatre.co.uk or 028 9038 1081.

Can legible workplace design be a tool for inclusion?
In our work, legible design is a central to enhanced workforce inclusion and well-being. Our research and that of others shows that legible workplaces can reduce workforce stress. We also feel it can promote inclusion. I had an insight today I wanted to share.
Today, while taking a walk through a neighborhood in Austin, TX we noticed that many of the intersections and sidewalks, and home entry paths would not be accessible to people needing mobility aids. I am not picking on Austin or this neighborhood, we love the area. And many neighborhoods and cities have the same problem.
But it reminded me that like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the basic need for physical access to, and within, buildings and office spaces is foundational to an inclusive workplace experience.
Ease of physical access is pretty much "step one" to being included within an organization. You can't be included if you cannot access or readily navigate the space. Of course, this functional issue has been addressed by the ADA.
But it occurred to me that there is a connection between basic accessibility and legibility. Legible space may be the next level up, on this hierarchy of needs.
Legibility is another form of access within a workplace. Illegible space can be experienced in several ways, such as a complex floorplan layout with poor visual access that causes stress and confusion when attempting to navigate and access resources, or spaces that do not clearly communicate their intended use – at least not to you. Our research has shown that poor legibility is linked to diminished feelings of inclusion within an organization.
Thus, if you are an office worker who is not a part of the professional and socio-economic class that typically creates office space, the space design may not be speaking to you. The first person in a family to graduate college with no professional role model, the returning veteran trying to navigate the ambiguity of roles in a business organization, the Black person not seeing others like themselves at the office. Of course, you can still use the spaces, watching carefully for clues on how people are using a space that you do not really understand, so that you fit in and don't make any "mistakes" in behavior or use of the space.
But in such a situation, you sense the space was not designed for you, you are trying to figure out the secret handshake - just another small unintended micro-aggression added to the others in your stressful work daily experience.
Legible space can play a role along with other inclusion programs and culture shift in making everyone at work feel included. The idea is to provide everyone equal access to resources within the organization. These resources can be people, mentors, social and professional networks, specialized spaces, technology and tools. Spaces and areas that everyone feels comfortable using because the design communicates intended use.

Louis Vuitton's workshop
Louis Vuitton settles his workshop of suitcases, "Atelier Louis Vuitton" in Asnières-sur-Seine in 1859. It is a strategic place because of the Seine, which allows the wood supply by barge and also due to the railroad, which links directly the workshop with Saint-Lazare railway station.
The workshop represents the heart of the House. All the family's sons learned the "art of suitcase" and today, Patrick-Louis Vuitton is in charge of the special orders.
The know-how of exception of the craftsmen of Asnières makes that they still realize today emblematic pieces as steamers trunks, suitcases, models in rare and exotics leathers but also very unique, exclusives and special commands for private individual.
These creations have for aim, the perfection and the uniqueness. In effect, the customer can personalize as he pleases his luggage. 140
Moreover, what we understand by "special commands", can be everything and anything. As Patrick-Louis Vuitton said, "Here, each demand of the customer is unique".
For instance, Karl Lagerfeld ordered a steamer trunk for his Ipod collection, Scott Campbell, favourite tattoo artist of Marc Jacobs, ordered one also for his instruments.
But…if you want a special command, how does it work?
Everything begins with an interview: one hour at least to know the customer's expectations. Then, on a big notebook, Patrick Louis-Vuitton draws a precise plan of the steamer trunk or the briefcase.
The manufacture, in wood, leather or others rare materials can require until 200 hours of work according to its complexity. Because of this working heap, the customer has to wait several months before having his object done.
If Louis Vuitton's production has been developed and became industrialized these last few years, with a dozen workshops in France, the special orders, them, will always be created in Asnières.

Human body Finite element models have the potential to provide significant insight into the paediatric response to impact. However, child models are by far less common and less advanced than their adult counterpart. Within the PIPER project, a new child model (PIPER Child model) that aims to be continuously scalable between at least 1.5 and 6 years of age was developed in the Ls-Dyna3D finite element code.
The model is continuously scalable using Gebod derived data for anthropometry and Kriging interpolation. Material properties can also be scaled (experimental). The scaling can easily be performed using the PIPER framework. The model response was checked against most existing sources for child biomechanical response to impact.
Both model and all response verification will be released under an Open Source licenses (Model: GPLv3 +liability and Open Science clauses, response setups: Creative Commons CC-BY-4.0).
Selecting this license and providing and the setups used to check the response of the model is hoped to help reproducibility of simulation processes.

Thiago Silva "Seemed to Be Under the Influence of Some Type of Drug," Victim Claims
Kyle Swenson February 11, 2014 9:00AM
As we reported last week, MMA standout Thiago Silva was taken into Broward Sheriff's Office custody on Friday following a violent lover's quarrel that allegedly ended in a SWAT standoff. The fallout for the Brazilian-born fighter has hit quick: The day of the arrest, UFC snipped all contractual ties with Silva. He's currently facing multiple felony counts for the incidents.
Over the weekend, both Silva's attorney and one of his alleged victims made public statements about the situation, the first peeks behind the official account we know now only from police paperwork.

According to the arrest documents, the incident began Thursday when Silva arrived at Pablo Popovitch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy to confront his estranged wife, Thaysa. The BSO records note that the current Mrs. Silva is involved in a relationship with Popovitch. Apparently Silva was not happy about it.
On Monday, New Times left a message for Popovitch at his gym. We never got a call back. But over the weekend, the jujitsu guru commented about the incident on his Facebook page. The post seems to have been taken down or set behind privacy measures, but MMAMania.com posted the statement:
Concerning the incident that took place at Academy last night. During our evening class, at around 7:45pm. Thiago Silva was outside sitting in his car honking the horn non-stop. Thaysa went outside to talk to Thiago to understand what was happening and saw a gun. After that, I went to see what was happening and also saw that he had a gun. He seemed to be under the influence of some type of drug whether alcohol or drugs. My staff notified the police at that time, and soon after the police arrived. He took off and the police went after him.
Thaysa has been separated and living alone since December of 2012. Thiago has been charged with battery in the past and was seeing other girls and moving on with his own life.
It's very unfortunate that this had to happen, the last thing I wanted us to see Thiago in this manner. I wish him all the best and hope this will soon be over.
Silva's attorney, Scott Saul, also made his first comments over the weekend to a Brazilian news outlet. BloodyElbows.com translated and posted the statement.
Saul confidently explains the police overreacted to the situation, and Silva was simply too drunk and sleepy to comply with commands, not aggressively resistant. "It may be that what Thiago's wife said has been taken out of context, I don't know," Saul stated. "There were many people there at the time, many police, but they didn't witness anything serious."
"There is a big difference in how the prosecution accused him and the way he was arrested. Thiago was arrested on two attempted assault with a risk of death, but when we went to court, the judge held that there wasn't sufficient evidence to support such accusations. He was arrested, the case has not even received a number, and what really needs to happen now is that the state attorney must review the case and decide what are the formal charges."
"So far it is a claim; Thiago was not guilty of anything. He was not even officially accused of anything. The version that is in the media was given by the police report. To explain how it works in Florida, the attorney will take around 30 days to render a decision. So that's the problem now. I must do what I can to convince the prosecutor that, independent of the police recorded in the bulletin, things did not happen exactly like that. It may be that what Thiago's wife said has been taken out of context, I don't know. There were many people there at the time, many police, but they didn't witness anything serious."
"When I arrived, the police had blocked four blocks, there were helicopters, SWAT teams wearing camouflage uniforms, and they would not give us access to the spot. Eventually, I ended up staying in the same place where the wife of Pablo was with two of her friends, and the police, though, for some reason, needed to use these people in some sort of hostage negotiation. None of it was true, not even the police report. He didn't evade the police, not threatened the police or anything. He didn't resist the arrest. Even in the police report, the only thing they said is that it was up to them, and remember that he was very drunk when he was arrested, then Thiago was accused of showing his middle finger and getting back into the apartment. And I think what happened is that he was drunk and the cops were knocking on the door, he was asleep, opened the door to the police, and surrendered. There was no reason for this; they did not need to have him beaten, and even when we went to trial, they kept saying that Thiago was a professional fighter, but at any time he tried to use violence to resist on the arrest. Had he fought against someone, it would be different, but the fact that he is a professional athlete is not related to anything. It's not because he is fighter he is more dangerous than someone who is not."
"I cannot comment on that part [his UFC release], but I can say that he knows he will not fight in March, on behalf of a criminal case. However, I imagine that if we prove his innocence, the UFC will probably reconsider that position."

The SABC also enquired into Maroleng's alleged protection of acting SABC executive for sport Marchi Mahlalela, who resigned from the SABC following her own disciplinary hearing.
The SABC did not agree with Maroleng's assessment, stating in its own letter to Saru that the COO does not represent the broadcaster's stance on the matter.
Maroleng's attorney stated that the disciplinary process was not yet finalised, and that Maroleng would make a submission to the SABC on the issue of sanction soon.
The report stated that Maroleng's charges constitute a reason for dismissal, and the members of the board will need to determine whether this will be their course of action regarding the COO.
The SABC's new board members include professionals with expertise across a variety of fields, including business practice, law, journalism, communication, and more.


Major disappointment without a doubt but unfortunately its as I was led to believe several weeks before release which prompted me to cancel my pre-order. The second patch should be here this month so fingers crossed it's a big one that can solve many of these problems.
Any more tests planbed Rich or are you awaiting the landing of the patch before going ahead with anything further?
Rich, I actually own the game and, although I have not played in jammed full lobbies, I have played with Eric (McNasty) on line many many times w/o much incident. In fact, I was one of the biggest critics of the game, and some things are still broken, but that's a function of SMS not giving a crap about console users and testing the console version with the same idiots at some 3rd party firm.
I'd be down to test this game any weekend. I'll even skip F1 on Sunday (you don't hear how bugged that game is, but it is). As for the ffb and the ovals, they both need work. However, I think it will play out like PC1...they will patch both. And if they patch it to the point of PC feel, it's going to be awesome. It's already better than the first, IMO. It took a while. And you have to own the game. lol.

Half Immortal
Half Immortal Chapter 103
>> Half Immortal Chapter List >>
Half Immortal Chapter 103: Puppet Castle (16) "what are you doing?"
Yan Wei didn't move this time.
He neither answered Yan Mingguang's words like the first time, nor took out a short blade to defend himself like the second time. He just turned his head and looked at the man beside him quietly.
He was sitting on a single bed in the guest room, which was still the same as every room in the castle. The ancient bronze mirror on the wall reflected their vague figure. He sat tight on the bed and Yan Mingguang sat by the bed. His room is still a little messy – it was kicked over when he was chased by evil puppets.
The door was open. Lin Zhen and two fish flying boats stood at the door and looked at him.
Lin Zhen directly and loudly patted the open door and said, "Hey, hey, another bomb you buried has exploded. How did you wake up? Are you a pig?"
Two fish flying boats said at the same time at the door, "don't swear like this."
Lin Zhen hissed.
Yan Mingguang frowned slightly and looked at him. Seeing that Yan Wei didn't speak, the man didn't ask much. He just stood up, picked up the windbreaker coat hanging at the head of the bed, handed it to Yan Wei and said, "go first. There must be players starting to catch people in the room."
This same action as like as two peas in a dream, made Yan look very worried.
When the first dream happened, he could completely sink into the dream and pull it out with the awakening of consciousness. When he found himself in a dream for the second time, he could clearly distinguish that the world was formed according to his self-conscious response.
But the third time, when he saw the familiar movements of the other party, he subconsciously produced a trance that could not distinguish reality from dream.
But Yan Wei now understood.
The sea of blood floating with several iron ships was just the deepest layer in his dream. But he didn't wake up immediately after waking up in that layer of dream. This copy originally has two true and false players. His dream just hit this point, which makes him shake not only in dream and reality, but also in true and false Yan Mingguang.
These truths and counterfeits are mixed together, and the consciousness can easily enter the fuzziness that can not be identified by itself, constantly doubt and struggle, and finally can not distinguish whether he is in a dream and whether he sees the real Yan Mingguang.
I'm afraid this is also part of the copy.
When I first entered the copy, it was mentioned in the words introducing the background – "he is uncertain. He will entertain the guests up the mountain and suddenly kill them."
When the puppet appeared, Yan Wei thought that the man in black didn't seem to have a plan to kill the player. Only the evil puppet and the player himself would kill the player. What's the matter with the so-called "sudden killing"?
Now… This "sudden" means that people in the castle will fall into uncontrollable dreams at random.
Dreams may be people's deepest vision, but they may also be the deepest fear.
Desire and fear are just the two emotions that people can't extricate themselves from.
This copy is the torture and test of human nature, psychology and will from beginning to end. It not only makes players unable to distinguish themselves, but also arranges the influence of this spiritual level. To get rid of these effects, other players can't help at all. They must find a clear lever by themselves.
He can suddenly rely on the state of immortality and use suicide to verify whether it is a dream or reality when he can't find any flaws, but this method actually has a fatal disadvantage. That is, dreams are false. In fact, the passage of time and immortality he saw in his dreams may not be true. Half immortality is also an element of his cognition, which can not become a lever to break the world composed of his cognition.
At present, Yan Mingguang's hand holding out his windbreaker moved forward again, motioning him to put on his coat and leave.
Yan Wei didn't move.
He blinked, his eyelashes trembled, and a trace of disdain flashed in his light brown eyes.
He looked around with a quiet look.
For a moment, he smiled and closed his eyes slowly. All the pictures around him disappeared at this moment. When he closed his eyes, there was only darkness in front of him.
He said word by word: "… This copy, these designs, each link has caught the weakness I have because I lost my memory. Are you aiming at me -"
"Building."
Yan Wei naturally doesn't expect any answer.
He hooked his mouth: "Do you know that it's better to go too far than to go too far?" you also have your own operating rules. Otherwise, you would have killed me directly. You don't need to borrow these. Since the rules exist, the distinction between ID and other me, dream and reality in this copy may be encountered by every player. You increase my difficulty and others' difficulty ——But if I solve this problem, the difficulty of this copy will be reduced for me because my opponent is weaker. "
His expression became more and more relaxed, and he had no previous negative emotions.
"Also – one or two layers of dreams will make me confused, but there are too many 'you', so much that I get used to it."
And find a central axis that can break his cognition. Take this central axis of consciousness as the boundary and compare it with other things in the world to break this situation.
Dreams are his consciousness. All objects and people in the world can only be based on what he has experienced, known and seen. However, most people will not feel anything different when they dream because they are built by their own consciousness.
What Yan Wei has to do is to find a thing that runs counter to his consciousness and can be reused. It won't happen to his brain because he uses it once and the next time.
He slowly opened his eyes.
All the thinking was just a moment, and everything around me was just like that.
He looked up at Yan Mingguang.
"Yan Mingguang," he said, "come closer to me."
The person in front of him was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask him anything. He just put down Yan Wei's windbreaker and coat in Lin Zhen's urging voice, and sat down next to Yan Wei again.
Yan Wei moved towards Yan Mingguang.
At the moment, the two of them are very close. Yan Wei can still feel the taste of each other like green pines and the warm breath of this person. Both dream and reality are completely different from Yan Mingguang's coldness on the surface.
Yan Wei calmed his mood, looked at the corners of Yan Mingguang's mouth, took a deep breath, and looked at Yan Mingguang again.
Then, he closed his eyes, rushed forward and kissed Yan Mingguang on the corner of his mouth like a dragonfly.
The kiss that appeared in the memory clip in the dream came out of his mind and stirred in his mind like a whirl. The hot water that haunted his side seemed to come out of his memory. Yan Wei only felt that his whole body was burning, his cheeks were stuffy, and his hair began to fill with water.
As if he were in hot water.
——It was the colossal manifestation of his consciousness.
This layer is still a dream.
Even so, he didn't dare to open his eyes, his eyes closed tightly, and his hands couldn't help clutching the edge of the quilt. The man in front of him seemed to have no reaction, no voice or action.
This is the most effective central axis he can think of.
The feeling between him and Yan Mingguang has always been unclear. He thinks Yan Mingguang knows a lot of things and knows that he has forgotten a lot of things. He only remembers the kiss in the hot water. Before entering the copy, Yan Mingguang thought he was pretending to sleep and kissed the corner of his eye.
However, Yan Wei has never been in love since his memory, and has never been ready to entrust his feelings to others. He has always had an attitude of not wanting to do this. Therefore, there has always been a cognitive deviation between him and Yan Mingguang.
In his consciousness, there was a blank about Yan Mingguang's attitude towards the relationship between them.
This was Yan Mingguang's reaction to the fact that he realized that the world could not be constructed.
Of course, he can repeat the previous round of actions again, go out first, go out with these "Lin Zhen", "fish flying boat" and "Yan Mingguang" in front of him, and then look for other things beyond his consciousness, but it takes too much time. The longer he is living in the nightmare, the easier it is to disperse the Qingming in his heart.
Suicide is the same. Repeated suicides can easily make him wonder whether he will kill himself or not.
Only pro Yan Mingguang will make him think of those two lingering pictures, which are beyond his control of reason, consciousness and logic, and are the giant images of consciousness no matter how many times.
At ordinary times, this is basically an obstacle to disturb the mind. But in this copy problem, it has become the central axis that Yan Wei can use.
This is the quickest and least effective way to affect his mood.
This copy wants to keep him, but he has to break this puzzle in the fastest and most labor-saving way!
Except a little
Yan Wei felt his cheeks hot and dry.
The next moment, Yan Wei suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. Yan Mingguang, who was still asking him what was going on, was still surrounded by some messy guest rooms. Outside the guest rooms, Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou were still urging him
Yan Wei raised his eyes and looked at Yan Mingguang in front of him. He quickly made another psychological construction. He got up and kissed the corner of the man's mouth.
The hot temperature came from his lips, and there was another burst of hot water around him. Yan Wei suddenly woke up again
Yan Wei doesn't know how many times he repeated it.
In fact, it wasn't much, but he was confused. On the one hand, he was rational and calm, telling him that there was a false Yan Mingguang in front of him, and on the other hand, his restless mood fluctuated.
many a time.
Suddenly, the moment his lips touched the corners of the man's mouth, he felt that the person in front seemed to breathe faster for a moment.
Before Yan Wei could open his eyes, he felt Yan Mingguang grasp his wrist with one hand, press his shoulder with the other hand, and suddenly press him back to bed.
He heard Yan Mingguang's voice moisten with a shortness and low voice that had never been before: "what are you doing?"

It doesn't matter if you take off your shoes the moment you step in the door. It doesn't matter if you keep your house spotless — some allergens will make their way inside. (After all, they are nearly invisible.) Once those allergens — dust, pollen, dander, microscopic mold and other organisms — find their way in, gravity pulls them to the floor. There, they become trapped in and around carpet fibers. Granted, this reduces the opportunity for those nasty little things to circulate in the air, where you can breathe them in and suffer a perpetually runny nose, but every step on that carpet sends tiny clouds of particles back into the air.
The good news is that people with allergies and asthma can have carpet. Most fibers used in mass-produced rugs and carpets today are harmless materials like polyester and nylon, the same stuff clothes and bags are made out of. These synthetic blends are constructed out of lab-developed fibers that repel allergens, in part because they are nonorganic and offer an inhospitable climate. For example, mold has nothing to eat and pollen dries out. Nylon is the most effective allergy-controlling carpet fiber. Wool, conversely, should be avoided because allergens and mold can thrive in it. Regardless of material, avoid shag — the shorter the strands, the fewer places the pollen can go. Also choose carpet with tightly woven strands for the same reason.
Although we might not normally associate carpet with improved indoor air quality, it does have a very positive effect. Gravity causes common household particles, such as dust, pollen and pet and insect dander, to fall to the floor. Carpet fibers trap the particles, removing them from the breathing zone and reducing their circulation in the air. Proper cleaning with CRI-approved vacuums effectively removes dust and allergens from the carpet and helps keep them out of the air we breathe.
When carpet is kept clean and dry, mold simply cannot grow on synthetic fibers. Carpet is recognized as one of the lowest emitters of volatile organic compounds among various flooring choices and interior finishes. The Carpet and Rug Institute's Green Label Plus Indoor Air Quality Standard identifies carpet, adhesive and cushion products that meet or exceed government indoor air quality regulations and are the lowest emitting products on the market.
\arpet has the lowest volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of common flooring choices. In fact, it's one of the lowest emitting products used in new construction and renovation. What VOCs new carpet emits are short-lived and largely dissipate within 24 to 48 hours – even faster with fresh air ventilation.
The manufacturer voluntarily participates in the program.
The manufacturer is committed to developing ways to minimize any adverse effects on indoor air quality.
A representative sample of the product type is tested by an independent laboratory and meets the established emissions requirements.
Carpets and rugs provide better traction than other flooring options, preventing falls. This is true everywhere, but even more important in areas where there is a lot of rain and snow. And when falls do happen, the softer surface reduces their impact. Whether you are in a business, school or hospital, fewer falls and less severe injuries are one more reason carpet is a choice you can feel good about.
Carpet is significantly more efficient at reducing noise, compared with other flooring. So everyone from employees to students gets a quieter, less distracting environment where they hear more, concentrate better and perform their best.
FACT: Multiple scientific studies have concluded that carpet fibers, in trapping and immobilizing potential allergy-causing particulates, can actually help people with allergies. If allergens are in the carpet, they're notcirculating in the indoor air stream. Shaw recommends using a HEPA-filter vacuum to fully remove such particles from the indoor environment.
Carpet acts as a trap for allergens and is capable of holding significant quantities of soil, dust and other substances. The carpet holds on to the particles until you are ready to remove them. Regular vacuuming, using a high-efficiency filter and periodic hot-water extractions, removes the majority of allergens. To learn more check out our Breathe Easier article and a paper, "Carpet, Asthma and Allergies – Myth or Reality" by Dr. Michael Sauerhoff, Ph.D., DABT.
Carpet emits harmful chemicals that cause health problems?
FACT: Carpet is one of the lowest emitters of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) among househld furnishings and building materials. Shaw carpets meet the industry's highest VOC standard, the Carpet & Rug Institute's Green Label Plus program.

2021 Predictions for Bitcoin, Gold, US Politics, and More
by Thehub Press
in Top News
Editor's Note: 2020 was an unprecedented year. A global pandemic and the subsequent hysteria unleashed a tidal wave of government restrictions, limits on individual freedoms, and economic destruction.
In 2021, the US will have a new president, the impacts of government response to COVID will become apparent, and the money printing will accelerate. Below, International Man founder Doug Casey shares his predictions for the year ahead, including where bitcoin and gold are headed, the government's plan for a digital dollar (FedCoin), potential geopolitical risks, and more.
The Political Situation and a Biden Presidency
I'm going to keep this article short, just hitting a few of the high points—or low points—of the coming year. Which will, I'm afraid, set the tone for the whole decade.
As Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'til it's over." But it looks as if a Biden/Harris regime will replace the Trump regime.
I've explained my very mixed feelings about Trump many times before. Whatever his faults, the people in control of the Democrat party are much more dangerous. To start with, they egregiously stole the US election.
The political situation guarantees chaos because the red people and the blue people actually hate each other, which is why I've talked about the possibility of a civil war over the last couple of years. It's either that or a breakup of the US. Or a police state to keep a lid on the political pressure cooker.
As far as the economy is concerned, at this point, it hardly matters who assumes the presidency; the Greater Depression is absolutely baked in the cake. The creation of trillions of new currency units will only make it worse. Except possibly for the stock market over the short run, as people look for someplace to offload their dollars. You can expect violence. Germany in the '20s, or Latin America cyclically, would seem to be good models.
The incoming Democrats will create a vast array of new programs and departments. The changes will be much more radical than either Roosevelt's New Deal or Johnson's Great Society. They'll finance it with unlimited money in a world of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). They'll cement themselves in power. The US will get a makeover, and America will cease to exist.
It's really serious. The consequences of the Greater Depression will go far beyond a simple decline in the general standard of living.
The Effects of COVID
The virus itself is what we can call a first-order effect. I don't want to spend much time talking about the flu itself because the information has been highly politicized and unreliable in many ways. It's enough to note that even the worst-case numbers aren't remotely comparable to those of the Spanish Flu of 1918-19—which was trivial from political, economic, social, or cultural viewpoints.
The second-order effects of Covid—like the economy being shut down from hysteria—are much more serious.
It's the third-order effects, however—new laws and state action— that will have the longest-lasting consequences.
Governments all around the world have put in onerous new laws and regulations about travel, movement, and business in general. They've found a marvelously effective new means of exercising vast new power over their complacent subjects. These things will be paid for not only by higher taxes but by immense amounts of money printing by central banks. Meanwhile, economies everywhere will be in full collapse.
Because so many people have no savings and are living from paycheck to paycheck, it's probably the perfect excuse to set up a guaranteed annual income. People have already been prepped for the ridiculous concept.
Bitcoin and Gold
Gold and Bitcoin are actually very similar assets in a number of ways. Both comply with all the characteristics of a sound money—unlike any of the world's fiat currencies. In addition, they can't be "inflated"– the amount that they can increase every year is trivial relative to the amount in existence.
In the case of gold, new mine supplies increase the approximately six million ounces above ground by about 1.3% per year.
In the case of Bitcoin, there can never be more than 21 million in existence. In reality, there may never be more than something like 15 million available because we don't know how many were lost in the early days when they had little value.
Even institutions are starting to buy bitcoin. As the effects of the many trillions of fiat currency units being created by governments all over the world become apparent, people will look for places to hide. The main beneficiaries will be gold, silver, some other commodities, and Bitcoin. Even though Bitcoin's looking bubbly right now, with a market cap over $600 billion, it's still quite small relative to other asset classes.
I've been bullish on Bitcoin since July of 2017. It's going higher. $100,000 isn't out of the question this year.
A Digital Dollar (FedCoin)
The US government will likely want to roll out FedCoin as soon as possible. That might be as early as this year; the Chinese are certainly moving to a digital currency. For what it's worth, I might have even coined the word FedCoin in a piece that I did about five years ago.
I'm going to avoid FedCoin as much as possible. It has no advantages, only disadvantages for citizens. Digital currencies put your income, your assets, and your privacy under the direct control of the State.
Social and Cultural Trends
A black congressman from Missouri—not the same one who asked an admiral whether too many people on one side of Guam could tip over the island—ended his recent speech to the House with prayer ending with "Amen and a-women." I think he was serious in that gender-specific pronouns have been purged from the Congressional vocabulary. That's indicative of the cultural trend.
The people promoting a US cultural revolution aren't getting much resistance. The old regime—the conservatives, the Republicans—are totally bamboozled and intimidated. They've been brainwashed into accepting the righteousness of the Left's cultural, political, and social agendas. They may not like the New Normal, but they sheepishly accept it. The schools, academia, NGOs, corporations, Hollywood, and the media have inculcated their notions into society.
But perhaps the 75 million cultural conservatives will rebel—although it won't be easy since they've effectively been banned from most mass and social media platforms. The only certainty is that the US is facing a real problem. When these things get out of control, the consequences can be genuinely terrible. Trends in motion tend to stay in motion—and this one is even accelerating.
More than anything else, America was an idea. It was unique among the world's countries because it was founded on the premises of individualism and capitalism, free minds and free markets. More than any other country, it's lived up to those ideals. Unfortunately, America is gone. The US, run out of Washington, DC, is pretty much like any other nation-state.
The powers-that-be—who now include the wokesters, the SJW's, and those supporting BLM and Antifa—don't want just a change of government. They want to overturn everything that made America, America. There's no place to go once America falls. However, they'll try to "unite" a fragmented country via a major war with China.
Conflict with China
The chances of a conflict with China are extremely high because when rhetoric between governments reaches a certain point, words turn into actions. As Clausewitz said, "war is the continuation of politics by other means." Kinetic warfare—sinking some ships and shooting down some planes—could easily be followed by World War III.
We all know what Einstein said: "I don't know what World War III will be like, but War World IV will be fought with sticks and stones." There is some truth to that.
Nuclear weapons are old technology now. They're 75 years old in time. But in effectiveness, there are better options today. Computer technology can destroy a modern civilization without destroying too much physical infrastructure. Taking down the electrical grid alone would do it in a matter of weeks. It's much more desirable in every way.
Computers will certainly be part of a conflict with China, but the main event will be biological warfare. Biological warfare has absolutely every advantage in the world with relatively few disadvantages. It allows you to protect your guys and just attack the bad guys. And that's especially convenient in the context of a race war between the Chinese and other races. Of course, it works both ways.

Csorvássy István (Szászrégen, 1912. április 2. – Marosvásárhely,  1986. szeptember 7.) erdélyi magyar szobrász, fafaragó művész.

Élete
A Maros-Torda vármegyei Szászrégenben született. Apja Csorvássy Sámuel szászrégeni cipészmester. Anyja Ajtai Gizella.

Csorvássy István – már a Román Királysághoz csatolt Erdélyben – ipari tanuló lett. Keresztesi Sámuel (1893–1974) tasnádi műhelyében tanulta a fafaragás mesterségére, 1929–30. között a kolozsvári Szépművészeti Iskolában tanult Aurel Ciupe festő (1900–1988) és Romulus Ladea szobrász (1901–1970) tanítványaként. 1931-ben végzett, Marosvásárhelyen telepedett le. Első szobrát is itt állították ki 1931-ben. Ettől kezdve több erdélyi városban kiállításokon mutatta be népi ihletésű, kifejező erejű fafaragásait, realista portréit, több alakos szoborcsoportjait.

Csorvássyt 1940-től bevonták a vajdahunyadi várnak a román kormány megbízásából végzett restaurálási munkálataiba is. 1940–44. között, amikor a második bécsi döntés értelmében Észak-Erdélyt visszacsatolták a Magyar Királysághoz, Csorvássy több megbízást kapott az észak-erdélyi magyar kormánybiztosságtól és a haderőtől, így például a M.Kir. IX. Honvéd Hadtest 1941–42 között Kolozsvárott, az Árpád utcában felépült új parancsnoki épületében a tiszti íróasztalok díszítésére szolgáló kis alakú, székely népi tárgyú faszobrok sorozatát ő készítette. (Az épület a mai Traian utcában áll, 1948-tól a Securitate helyi központja volt, 1990-től különféle állami intézmények, köztük a román nemzetbiztonsági hivatal irodáinak ad otthont).

A második világháború után is Erdélyben maradt, Marosvásárhelyen dolgozott középiskolai tanárként, nyugdíjazásáig. A Román Szocialista Köztársaság kulturális hatóságaitól is rendszeres megbízásokat kapott köztéri szobrok készítésére. Eredeti, erdélyi népi témáitól azonban eltérítették, a dogmatikus kultúrpolitika az 50-es évekre jellemző monumentális, politikai töltetű, patetikus emlékműveket várta el. A tehetséges szobrász ezeket a kompozíciókat is magas művészi színvonalon valósította meg. Munkásságát a román kormány komoly díjakkal méltányolta.

1951-ben megkapta a román állami díjat, Barabás Istvánnal és Gy. Szabó Bélával együtt. 1952-ben készítette el "Koreai partizánok" című nagyméretű faszobrát, ezért a Béke Világtanács nagydíjával tüntették ki.

1957-ben a marosvásárhelyi Református Kollégium fennállásának 400 éves évfordulója alkalmával leplezték le Marosvásárhelyen a Bolyaiak szobrát, amelyet a galócási születésű székely szobrásszal, Izsák Mártonnal (1913–2004), a marosvásárhelyi Művészeti Líceum igazgatójával együtt készített. A szobrot a Bolyaiak terén, az iskola előtt állították fel.

Ugyancsak Izsák Mártonnal közösen készítette el az Ismeretlen Katona emlékművét, a második világháborúban a Magyar Királyság elleni hadjáratban (a hivatalos felirat szerint "a fasizmus elleni harcban") elesett román katonák emlékére. Az emlékművet 1964-ben, Románia átállásának 20. évfordulóján avatták fel Marosvásárhely főterén.

Csorvássy számos változatban örökítette meg Petőfi, Enescu, Ady Endre alakját is. Marosvásárhelyi tanítványai közül többen váltak elismert képzőművészekké, például Csizmadia Attila (* 1933). Nyugdíjasként hunyt el 1986-ban munkásságának színhelyén, Marosvásárhelyen.

Művei

Köztéri szobrai
 A két Bolyai szobra (Izsák Mártonnal közösen), 1956–57, Marosvásárhely.
 Román katonaszobor (Izsák Mártonnal közösen), 1964, Marosvásárhely.
 Budai Ilona balladája (sorozat a sepsiszentgyörgyi színház előcsarnokában).

Dísztárgyak, fafaragások
 A M.Kir. IX. honvéd hadtestparancsnokság irodái számára rendelt kisméretű, asztali faszobrok, 1941–42, Kolozsvár. (Az 1944-es kiürítéskor ezek az alkotások elvesztek, megsemmisültek vagy magántulajdonba kerültek).

A Review of the Best Desktop Security Software
Article Contents...
Zone Alarm Computer Security
The internet is a haven for business, pleasure, and unfortunately, malicious programs. If you chance up on a website or an email that contains malware, you're in for a very unpleasant surprise. The harmful programs will corrupt your files and damage the system. You'll end up reformatting your computer, which means everything, save the desktop and the default programs, will be erased. Desktop security software must be installed, to curb malware and its effects.
The Proponents of Desktop Security
Desktop security, contrary to what its name suggests, can be used for various types of computers, which include laptops and notebook computers when using mobile internet. It is composed of either various programs or a single consolidating program designed to detect and remove all types of malware, like viruses and spyware. To give you a clearer picture, here are the different forms of desktop security:
Pop-up Blocker
Email Phishing Filter
Desktop Security Program (contains most, if not all, means of computer security)
Ideally, each of the programs should work as a single cohesive unit, singling out all of the malicious programs embedded in the computer system. All of them should have exceptional levels of detection and cleaning power, since many forms of malware are tough and are programmed to corrupt security programs, immediately.
The Best Desktop Security Programs
Lots of security programs are out on the market or on the internet, but not all of them can efficiently protect your computer. Some are not built to detect or clean the latest viruses and spyware, while others take awhile before updates arrive. If you don't have a potent security program, viruses and advanced spyware can easily overrun your computer's defense. You should only settle for the best.
Bit Defender is one of the leading brands of desktop security programs. During the past year, until now, it continues to impress users and critics with its ability to ward off malware and clean many types of malicious programs, if they manage to penetrate the firewall. All of its security applications are very efficient, especially its antivirus and firewall.
It thoroughly searches your files, including plug and play hardware, reads the programming framework, and then weeds out the harmful programs. Once isolated, Bit Defender flushes them out. The firewall is nearly impenetrable. It's so tight that you have to lower its level security, so it won't interrupt your internet session. Naturally, Bit Defender should come on top of your list.
Zone Alarm, in terms of removing viruses, leaves something to be desired. However, the question is, how on earth can they enter, given the level of defense its firewall provides. Zone Alarm's firewall comes as one of the most potent products of its kind. It keeps out not only viruses, but also pesky spyware.
Spyware, unlike viruses, can enter your computer at any time and even create a portal for other malicious programs. Zone Alarm's firewall keeps them all out, making your time on the internet fun and worry-free.
Ad-Aware may have drawn a lot of flak from users before. But given its latest advancements, I have to say that it is the best antispyware program out there. It recognizes every type of spyware, even those that Bit Defender or Kaspersky can't pick up, as long as you keep it updated.
The complete version, which is sold at computer software stores, can even get rid of viruses, especially worms. Its live protection isn't as effective, though. Still, Ad-Aware is an excellent purchase.
If there's a security program that can match, or even outdo, Bit Defender, it's none other than Kaspersky. For the past couple of years, it has been consistently rated as one of the top brands of computer security.
It's antivirus is virtually unmatched, picking off all viruses and most spyware in one scan. The Kaspersky firewall is also potent. It can block most intrusions, keeping your computer safe. No wonder this is the choice of computer geeks, techies, and professionals.
AVG does not make the grade in terms of exceptional cleaning power and detection. So, why is this brand on the list? Among all free antivirus programs, AVG happens to be the most effective. It can remedy a good number of malware, especially if it's regularly updated.
The email filter and the firewall are also decent. With careful internet browsing, the program can certainly keep your computer safe.
Pair it up with the free downloadable version of Ad-Aware and your computer will be armed with exceptional protection, free of charge.
The mentioned brands are the cream of the crop in terms of malware detection and removal. Some of them may be a bit pricey, but with them in your computer, you don't have to worry about your files being corrupted or a computer crash. Quality comes as a higher standard than price, when it comes to protecting your computer.
