The paleo diet is an amazing tool. With a focus on real food, it helps people overhaul a lifetime of poor nutrition habits and allows us to truly feel our best with a diet that properly fuels our bodies. For some, it's a great way to eliminate certain food groups to pinpoint the source of digestive distress or skin breakouts. For others, it's a fantastic protocol to help develop a healthier relationship with food overall. For many, it's an amazing tool to lose that extra weight.
In fact, weight loss is the most common reason why people choose to eat paleo (at least at the start). They eliminate grains, dairy, sugar and legumes and see the extra pounds effortlessly drop off. It almost sounds too good to be true, right?
There's plenty of reasoning behind WHY this works. For one, cutting out sugar, grains, refined oils and other hyper-palatable foods means we're overeating far less. It's quite easy to down two donuts or two slices of cake, which blows our portions out of proportion without much effort. Eating seconds of a kale salad? It's not as tempting, and even if that salad is really good, a second serving won't break the bank.
With a focus on protein and healthy fats at every meal, the paleo diet often helps us to get in touch with our natural hunger cues and shift into intuitive eating, which inherently means we're eating less or exactly what our bodies need. Why? Because we're truly satiated from real food that provides long-lasting energy. For someone who is looking to lose weight, this could be exactly what they need without having to put in the work of counting calories.
Unfortunately, the paleo diet is not a 'magic bullet,' and there really isn't one out there. Paleo is a great platform for developing a healthier lifestyle, but it doesn't work wonders for everyone. So, if you're not losing weight on paleo, what are you doing wrong? Here are ten common mistakes and how to address them.
While a paleo diet is known for eliminating the standard foods we use to eat for comfort (i.e. cookies, cakes, and all things sugary sweet), it's still possible that you're relying too much on those foods that offer you a little "hug" when you taste them. It's easy to overeat certain foods like fruit, potatoes and sweet potatoes, nuts and seeds while still remaining within paleo guidelines.
Instead, try to limit these foods to meal-time. If you love having your daily serve of cashews but can't stop reaching your hand in the bag, have a serving on top of your salad for a crunchy fix. If you notice having potatoes (technically paleo!) fuels your cravings, switch them out for something less "cozy" like beets or swede. Remember, natural sugars ARE sugar too, so limiting fruits to lower-sugar options like berries or 1-2 servings a day is ideal.
Here's a hard truth: it's not gonna happen! Most good things happen when you're patient, and weight loss is a prime example. You have to work for it, and you have to wait for it. So, wait! Some people see instant results within a week or two with a huge drop-off then they plateau. This is normal! The body drops a lot of water when you give up refined carbohydrates and processed foods.
If things start to slow down, just wait! A healthy rate of loss ranges from 0.5 lbs to 2 lbs per week, so anywhere in this set is normal and awesome. It's no small feat to lose just a little weight, because when you put that into perspective over time… numbers add up. And remember, slow weight loss = more permanent weight loss.
Beyond being a bit of a mind game, the scale is only telling you so much – how much your body weighs. It does not differentiate between the weight of food, water, muscle and fat. It just adds it all up in a pretty package with a bow on top. Instead, rely on how clothes fit and body measurements. Some people will lose inches without shedding a pound. This is a good thing!
If you're eating paleo, snack time probably looks a little different. While you might not be cozying up on the couch with a bag of pretzels, there are plenty of healthy foods that don't lend themselves well to portion control.
If you're not mindful about eating, it's easy to overdo it on dried fruits which pack in a ton of concentrated sugar or paleo bliss balls. These things have their time and place, and they're certainly better for you than regular sweet treats. Alas, they're not doing much for your weight loss goals in the long-run. Think about how much you're snacking and try to cut back by filling up on healthy, nutrient-dense foods during meal times. Save the treats for special occasions instead of making them an everyday habit.
The paleo diet is an amazing place to start on a journey to the best version of yourself, but there is SO. MUCH. MORE. that goes into it. It's not just about the diet, here. The paleo lifestyle encompasses so many facets of life, and all those habits could be the reason you're not seeing the results you'd like to see.
The big one is exercise. Nobody's saying you have to run marathons or do Crossfit to lose weight or exercise properly. For example, in my 4-Week Paleo Reset, I get people to stick to simple fitness challenges every week. It could be as simple as a quick 20-minute work out at home or some cycling and a few squats and push ups. You could easily boost weight loss with daily, low-impact movement as simple as walking! Another big contender is sleep. If you're not sleeping enough, your body simply isn't performing at its peak, and it might resist shedding extra weight. Finally, it's important to manage stress. Feeling run-down all the time encourages our desire to eat for comfort, and it raises cortisol levels which might aid our bodies in resisting weight loss.
Paleo is an inherently lower carbohydrate diet. It eliminates grains and legumes, both of which are primarily comprised of carbohydrates. This is NOT to say that carbs are evil (they're not), but it means that there's a little work to do regarding what's going to work well for you.
If you're active, you'll naturally need more carbohydrates in your diet. On a paleo diet, these can be sourced from potatoes, sweet potatoes, other starchy veggies and fruit. You can even add a little white rice or quinoa (read more about paleo and white rice here). If you're active, your body does well with more carbs both for performance and to recover properly.
On the other hand, if you live a more sedentary life, you might want to cut back a bit. In short, carbs are FUEL and your body only needs so much of it. It might want to "hold on" to that extra fuel if you're not using it up in the gym or on the trail. More activity = more carbs and vice versa.
In addition to that, women tend to do better with a few more carbs. Although initially it might be beneficial to cut down on carbohydrates to kick start the weight loss process, in the long term our hormones perform better with low-to-moderate carbohydrate intake. Hormonal imbalance is often the culprit of weight loss stalling. Going too low carb, under-eating and over-exercising (read more on those below) are often the contributing factors to hormonal chaos.
If we're approaching things from a "primal" standpoint, you can bet there was no elliptical machines anywhere to be found when cavemen roamed the earth. Rethink your gym membership and your workout routine if you're looking to change your physique.
Leanness is not strictly brought on not by burning more calories and doing hours of cardio. The good news? To exercise properly and efficiently, you don't need a whole lot of time. Short bursts of intense exercise (i.e. sprints) and weight-bearing exercise using dumbbells, barbells or kettlebells are two incredibly effective ways of getting you into shape and shedding some fat. These fitness routines burn more calories in a shorter span of time and keep the metabolism burning up for longer after the workout is done, making them more effective for weight loss. Oh, and we mentioned you could do them in literally half the time it might take you to run a few miles, right? Score!
Alongside exercising inefficiently comes the issue of overkill at the gym. Oftentimes, this is accompanied by the notion that we have to work out for hours to see results. It's worth clarifying that in terms of weight loss, those extra hours are better spent getting your meal prep done. The famous saying 'Abs are made in the kitchen' is absolutely true. And as much as regular fitness routine will aid with the weight loss and keep your heart healthy, it's only a small contribution when compare to what you eat.
Two-a-days, hitting the Crossfit gym six days a week, and hours of cardio a day are not sustainable and not healthy. Like mental and emotional stress raises cortisol levels, which contribute to hormonal imbalance and weight loss resistance, over-exercising creates a lot of physical stress. Our bodies respond to physical stress in a very similar way. We need to recover in order to function optimally.
There's a funny thing that happens during my paleo reset programs. Most people start off with an initial goal to shed weight. Maybe it's just a few kilos, maybe it's a few stone. Regardless, it's a wildly popular goal. That's not the funny part, though.
Many people's minds change when they realise living a healthy life goes beyond the 'diet mentality.' They shift into more permanent thinking as eating a real food diet becomes less restrictive, more enjoyable, and more second-nature. Weight loss is often a nice side effect when this happens. On the other hand, some people are prone to getting stuck and not seeing results because they're still under the impression that the paleo diet is a "quick fix." When we look at the bigger picture, we see bigger results and our bodies follow our thinking. Remember the power of positive thinking.
The paleo diet is a truly magnificent way of eating because it allows you to eat a lot of food without calorie counting. While many will happily load up their plate with veggies, protein, and healthy fats, some people can get a little skimpy with their serving sizes. That's because they operate under the rule of 'smaller portion=less calories=more weight loss'. However, there is one thing they forget.
Think of it this way – if you're coming from a less-than-stellar diet into clean eating and eliminating bagels, pasta and rice as the staples, you need to replace that energy with something else. That usually means larger portions of the healthier foods such as vegetables and protein.
While we don't recommend doubling up on potatoes and steaks or eating nuts by the handful three times a day, it's important to get in a proper amount of fuel for your body to function properly. You need protein for your muscles, fat at every meal for satiety and metabolism, and lots of vegetables and some fruit for adequate fibre intake as well as essential nutrients. If you're slacking in any of these categories, your body will be missing out on something, which can make it want to hold onto extra weight. Once again, it can negatively affect your hormone balance. Moreover, depriving your body of what it needs can lead to overeating later, furthering the case.
Have you used paleo to lose weight? Or have you experienced any of these issues? I'd love to hear your story! If you're having trouble setting or reaching your weight loss goals, my paleo reset program is designed to get you there. Can't commit to 4 or 8 weeks? Check out the 7-Day Paleo Kick Starter plan.
Can You Eat Green Peas On The Paleo Diet?
Thanks for your article. I find a varied approach to work best for me: high protein and cycling my moderate macro between fat and carbs. I had attempted the keto diet with horrible results. I got through the keto flu phase but continuously felt heavy, lethargic, gross with oily skin, and my cardio performance went down the drain. Did anyone else experience this? Paleo seems to be the more sustainable diet for me personally but I agree that, like any diet, it requires a balance with exercise.
I'm not eating comfort foods or any kind of potatoes. I'm not over eating and not starving. I move around a lot during the day so not sedentary. I rarely eat nuts and no seeds other than a little bit of tahini on my salad with homemade oil and vinegar dressing used sparsely. I don't eat bacon and rarely avocado. I don't eat a lot of fruit either. This is my second time around doing a Paleo diet and my weight is going up and down like a yo yo. I went down 2 lbs in 2 weeks and now I am up to where my weight loss is about .8 from where I started the diet. It is extremely frustrating considering my husband lost about 6 lbs on the diet and he is eating nuts and peanut butter with apple snacks and more food than I am.
The first time I did Paleo, I made a lot of almond flour things like the rye bread and also banana muffins and ate almond butter and a lot of nuts. I lost a ton of weight. This time I am not even eating that with the exception of making a Paleo mug cake where I cut out the butter and coconut sugar so that it was low in calories and fat. I also only ate half of it as a treat so I haven't even given myself the same allowed and acceptable foods that I did the first time around.
I don't know if I am not drinking enough water or I am just plain insulin resistant or if my thyroid needs to be increased as it was on the low side of normal. I am very frustrated. I may also be holding salt weight though I don't salt my foods, but I know some things have 20% sodium content. I try to avoid those foods as well.
I wish someone could help me debug this a I am really doing everything I know to do apart from just not eating anything. I have kept an extensive food diary a well.
I can't really provide many suggestions without knowing what your daily intake of food looks like. It's actually possible that you are under-eating and your body is holding on to the weight as a result. I know it sounds counter intuitive but that can often be the case. Otherwise, this could really be due to either your hormones or gut health, or both. I would really recommend seeing a functional medicine practitioner or naturopath and get some hormone testing done. You can also email me (eatdrinkpaleo@gmail.com) some more details about your daily food intake, say what you've recorded over 2-3 days, and I might be able to provide you with more insight. We work with lots of different cases during our 9-week paleo program and we usually get to glimpse of what people are eating through our tracking app. If you have an iOS phone, you can use it to track your food as well https://happybodyformula.com/using-happy-body-ios-app/ .
I've been reading some of your articles lately and I really love this one. It was written nicely and informatively. I also write paleo tips in my blog, maybe you can check it out.


Amit Kleinberger works out of Encino as the CEO of one of the largest frozen yogurt franchises in the world, Menchie's Frozen Yogurt. Amit has operated as the company's Chief Executive Officer since 2008, and today, the Menchie's yogurt chain has more than 370 stores spread out around the world. Menchie's are a huge success with a wide variety of different flavors and toppings ranging from fruits to candies.
One of the first inspirations that Amit Kleinberger found to reach for a successful career in business was the movie, The Secret of My Success. Although this film was focused on the corporate world in New York City during the '80s, it sparked Amit's interest in business while growing up in Jerusalem. Even though he was young, Amit Kleinberger was determined to work on his entrepreneurial skills, and he started by selling party supplies to other students during the holidays at his middle school. As an eleven-year-old, Amit was able to make decent money from what he would call his very first business.
By the time Amit Kleinberger turned 18 years old, he decided to enlist in the Israeli Defence Forces. According to him, he was intrigued by the concept of the military and the leadership skills that were required to run such a strict and demanding force. For three years, Amit served in the military as a combat unit sergeant, and it was during this time that he learned what he considers the most effective way to lead from his commander at the time, which is by example.
Amit came out of the military and in the early years of 2000, he decided to move to Santa Monica. At first, he enrolled in college at Santa Monica and he was focused on the idea that he might become an attorney. Fortunately for Amit, though unfortunate for his academic career, he started up a business focused on selling cellphone equipment that started doing very well very quickly. In no time at all, Amit was making close to if not more money than he would have made if he became a defense attorney. Because of this, Amit dropped out of college and dedicated himself 100 percent to growing his business.
Since the time of selling cellphone equipment, Amit Kleinberger has owned and sold several different businesses until taking over as CEO for Menchie's. The very first store opened in 2007 and Amit and his wife were the first to join the franchise by taking over the first location in Encino. In just a matter of several years, Menchie's has gone from a single operation to several hundred stores and several hundred more expected in the coming years. Menchie's are all over the US, with more than 50 stores spread out in California alone, and they employ more than 5000 people from their locations in more than 20 countries worldwide.

Michael Jung Makes Debut at Eventing World Number One
May 1, 2015 Associate Editor	Leave a comment
Michael Jung (GER), pictured at the London 2012 Olympic Games. (Pierre Costabadie/FEI)
Lausanne (SUI), 1 May 2015 – Michael Jung (GER), who in 2012 became the first Eventing athlete to hold the European, world and Olympic titles simultaneously after scoring individual and team gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games, has jumped to the top of the FEI World Eventing Rankings for the first time in his career.
William Fox-Pitt (GBR), the multiple Olympic, World and European medallist who has held the world number one slot for the past 12 months, has now dropped to second.
Jung (32), who was third in last month's rankings, now has a 58-point lead over Fox-Pitt, with Jonelle Price (NZL) dropping down one place to third but holding on as highest placed female athlete in the world Eventing rankings.
Jung started riding aged six and came to prominence after making his international début in 2009 when he won the Luhmühlen CCI4* on home-turf in Germany, the FEI World Cup™ Eventing final in Strzegom (POL) and an individual European bronze medal in Fontainebleau (FRA). These successes all came with La Biosthetique Sam FBW, the horse that Jung rode to individual gold at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Kentucky (USA) in 2010 and double gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Jung was also part of Germany's golden team at last year's Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Normandy (FRA), where he finished second behind his compatriot Sandra Auffarth in the individual rankings.
Last weekend, Jung won leg three of the FEI Classics™ series at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day event (USA) with the mare FisherRocana FST and also finished third on La Biosthetique Sam FBW. He now leads the standings of this prestigious series which links the world's four-star events.
European Championships in sight
Jung has also claimed team and individual gold at the last two FEI European Championships (2011 and 2013) and will be looking to defend his title at the Longines FEI European Eventing Championships 2015 at Blair Castle in the Scottish Highlands on 10-13 September (see video here).

Whoa. You know I've often wondered in my stranger moments if I could convince my partner to help me with back zits… if I had a partner.
Does it really work that way? Man, that would be so convenient.
It's what 18 inch rulers are for, the 12's just don't cut it.
I have the picking problem but reversed. I LOVE to pick my babies back!!! He liked it at first but hates me now for it :D i can't help it, it's a huge stress reliever for me.
Man I'm glad I'm not the only person that asks their SO to pick their back zits!
dude sooo the story of my life!!!!!! my back gets so lonely especially at night when my bf is away at college!!
Lol I pick my boyfriend's spots all the time, I think he hates me for it. I spent about twenty minutes trying to squeeze a blackhead out of his nose before realising it was actually a freckle. Ooops!
I never thought of doing this or having it done to me until I got really serious with my girlfriend. Previously I thought it was gross and when I'd see a couple doing it I'd think "ugh…." However, now I don't even know what the big deal was, lol.

Canada excludes Boeing from fighter jet competition
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Canada has officially narrowed its decade-long hunt for a new fighter jet to two choices as the federal government confirmed U.S. aerospace giant Boeing's Super Hornet is out of the running to replace the military's aging CF-18s.
The announcement on Wednesday from Public Services and Procurement Canada came nearly a week after Boeing had reportedly been told its bid for the $19-billion contract did not meet Ottawa's requirements.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government refused to comment publicly at that time, and there was uncertainty around whether the U.S. aerospace giant had been dropped from the competition to provide Canada with 88 new fighter jets.
But the federal procurement department confirmed in a statement Wednesday that Lockheed Martin's F-35 stealth fighter and the Swedish Saab Gripen are the only two aircraft still in contention.
While the statement did not say why Boeing's offer did not make the cut, the fact that one of the two U.S. companies competing for the contract failed to make the final shortlist represents a major turn of events.
Following the government's announcement, Boeing issued its own statement saying it was "disappointed and deeply concerned" that its Super Hornet had not made it to the next phase of the competition.
"We are working with the U.S. and Canadian governments to better understand the decision and looking for the earliest date to request a debrief to then determine our path forward,″ the company said.
Many observers had seen the Super Hornet and F-35 as the only real competition because of Canada's close relationship with the United States, which includes using fighter jets together to defend North American air space on a daily basis.
Those perceptions were only amplified after two other European companies dropped out of the competition before it even started, complaining the government's requirements had stacked the deck in favor of their U.S. rivals.
In particular, both Airbus and Dassault had complained about what they saw as onerous requirements associated with adapting their aircraft — the Eurofighter and Rafale, respectively — to meet Canada's intelligence-sharing requirements.
Those requirements included ensuring their aircraft could integrate with the top-secret Canada-U.S. intelligence network known as ``Two Eyes,″ which is used to defend North America.
Sweden is not a member of NATO or NORAD, the joint Canadian-American defense command responsible for protecting the continent from foreign threats. That had prompted questions about the Gripen's compatibility with U.S. aircraft.
Both Lockheed Martin and Saab said Wednesday that they looked forward to working with the government during the final stretch of the competition.

Seoul has many traditional temples from three different time periods. Buddhist temples have normally been placed in the deep mountains whereas temples in the middle of town are said to be places for meditating Buddhists caught up in the busy world. Exploring traditional temples is a good way to learn the architecture, cultural assets, and the history of Korean Buddhism. Your mind and soul can be cleansed and healed through visiting the temples when you're close enough to look deep inside the buildings and find the meanings behind them.
When going to the temple, there are certain etiquette practices to be aware of. For example, the pillar gate is the first entrance for the temple. One should remember a proper dress code and attitude. After passing the first gate, you can see a small clean watering pond. You are required to wash your hands as this symbolizes cleaning your body and soul. When you enter the Buddhist sanctuary, you should use the left or right ended gates instead of the middle one. A few nights at a Buddhist temple might be a memorable trademark for your visit to Korea.
Built during the Shilla Dynasty, Bongeunsa Temple is approximately 1,000 years old. However, Queen MunJeong (who was the second wife of King Jungjong of Joseon) revived the temple with Monk Bo-Woo. During this period, the national monk exams, which were taken every three years, were implemented again. Monk Hue-Jung became known for Suhsandaesa and Monk Yoo-Jung became known for Samyungdaesa. Bongeunsa Temple has attracted not only believers but also, tourists because of its downtown location.When you enter the one pillar gate, you can see the main sanctuary, the Buddhist shrine, and several edifices. Due to its' longevity, Bongeunsa Temple has many cultural assets. The left side of the main sanctuary is known for Pan-jeon. Pan- is the oldest building at Bongeunsa Temple. Preserved and engraved Buddha sayings are kept there. The letters on the front board are famous for being written by Junghee Kim, the master of calligraphy. It is also said that Junghee Kim was a frequent visitor then. The front sign on the main sanctuary was also written by Junghee Kim, who imitated the front sign on the main sanctuary at the Jin-Kwan Temple located on Bukhansan Mountain. Junghee Kim has shown a lot of affection for Bongeunsa Temple. While one tours the temple, one has to make an effort to detach from the desire to pray for peace in one's heart. If you can discover just an ounce of peace, then the trip has been meaningful for you.
Seonjeongneung Royal Tomb is the place of royal tombs where King Sung-Jong, his second wife, Queen Junghyun, and their son, King Chung-Jong are buried. The tomb of the King Chung-Chong has relocated by his one of wives, Queen Munjung, who wanted to be buried near her husband. This is a popular place to visit because Seonjeongneung Royal Tomb is not far from the Bongeunsa Temple and is surrounded by 500 year old guardian pine trees.
Course 2Yeonghwasa Temple, the historical site of Mountain Ah-Cha.
Yeonghwasa Temple is located at the foothills of Achasan Mountain. Built by a King in 672, it took tremendous effort for the temple to be built at the time.
From the center, you can see Daeungjeon Hall. From there, if you keep going up the mountain ridge a few more steps, you will come across Mireukjeon. There is a gigantic stone Buddha on natural rock in the Mireukjeon. This stone Buddha, Mireuk is known for being been built in the Goryeo Dynasty and being painted white. The legend behind the stone Buddha goes that King SeJo of Joseon Dynasty had an incurable skin disease which was instantly healed by praying at the stone. As a result of the legend, there are so many visitors who bring wishes, especially during national college exams. Even if you are not a Buddhist and don't have special desires to pray, this temple is a good place to drop by on your way to Achasan Mountain.
Achasan Mountain is one of branches of the mountain ranges of Baegak. Although it is not high, it is known for a wonderful view of the Hangang River from the top. You can see the remnants of the fortress and the remains of 15 different bastions. The mountain peak tells a sad history of the fall of the Baekje kingdom with the death of King Gaero (수정 from the battle with the northern rival kingdom Goguryeo. You can also watch the clay fortress of Mongchontoseong and Pungnaptoseong easily from the top. There is the Goguryeojeong Pavillon dedicated to the memory of the Goguryeo Dynasty at the top and The Museum of Goguryeo at the bottom of the mountain.
The Jogyesa Temple serves as the headquarters to the Korean Jo-Gye order which has a long history of 1,700 years and is located in Gyeonji-dong, Jongno-gu. The monk poem, Han Young-un involved to build Gakhwangsa Temple with several members in 1910. Gakhwangsa Temple moved into its' present location and was renamed to Taegosa. Taegosa temple was renamed with the Buddhist Purfication Movement in order to clear away the vestiges of Japanese colonial era.
When you enter the gate, you can feel how quiet it is steps away from the busy downtown center. The main sanctuary is well known for being the biggest sized one story building in Korea and for its view of the Buddha. The calligraphy sign upfront on the board is imitated by rubbing Hwaeomsa Temple, which is located in the Jeollanam-do Province. The calligraphy on the board is one of Prince Ue-Chang, who was the eighth son of King Seonjo. The main sanctuary has a large Buddha Triad (Samjonbul); the center is Buddha Sukga, the west Amida and the eastern Yu rae are both sides. You can see the monk preaching to followers in the main sanctuary.
You can also see the seven storied stone tower which is sealed in the sacred relics of Buddha. There is a 500 years old white pine tree which has been preserved as one of Korea's natural treasure assets. Jogyesa Temple also has several tangible cultural properties such as a wooden sculptured Buddha statue and more. There is another 450 year old tree and locusts trees which cover almost the entire front yard at the main sanctuary. The Central Buddhist Museum is located behind the main sanctuary.
Jogyesa Temple holds many Buddhism events over the year because it is located in the center of Seoul. Near temple, there are many Buddhism related shops and restaurants. There is also an information center at the Temple for any questions you might have about Buddhist cultures and foods.
Bongwonsa Temple is the headquarters of Taego Order of Korean Buddhism. Great master Doseon built Banyasa Temple, now where Yonsei University is, during in the era of Queen Jinseong of Shilla dynasty. Banyasa Temple flourished during the Shilla dynasty through the Goryeo dynasty. The temple was renamed Bongwonsa Temple since Banyasa Temple was moved into the present place in the era of King Yeongjo of Joseon. It is said that the front letters on the main sanctuary were given by King Yeongjo himself.
Standing at over one thousand years old, Bongwonsa Temple, supplies a clean and beautiful view to guests because of its location on Ansan Mountain. The old zelkova tree stands to welcome for visitors at the entrance of main sanctuary. Lotuses in the front yard awaken the Buddhist spirit to visitors. It provides a graceful view of the architectural design connecting lines with small houses and mountain branches.
Bongwonsa Temple has many historical stories and events. It has roots in the enlightenment party as led by Kim, Okgyun and Park, Younghyo. It is also the place that the Korean Research Institute and the former Hangul Institute in 1908 was founded. This is where Yeongsanjae, the event for world peace and uniting Korea, is held.
Dongnimmun located in Seodaemun Independece Park is the first Western piece of architecture in Korea. The gate imitated the Triumphal Arch in Paris. Although in Korea, we often associate the word 'independence' as one from Japan, this is not the case. The gate was originally built for independence from China. The gate was called Yeongeunmun during the Joseon dynasty and used to welcome the ambassadors from Ming Dynasty of China. It was originally the symbol of independence from China. The place was renovated and opened for the public as Seodaemun Independence Park in 2009. It is good place for learning the trace of independent movement.
Temple Sueng-Ga was built in 756 (King Kyungduck 15, Shilla dynasty). It is listed as the same location with the memorial stone of King Jinhuengsunsoo under Beebong in Mount Bukhan. High Monk of Shilla, Won-Hoe judged that the place of Sueng-Ga Temple was the best of the best place, and predicted if it had been built a temple, it could bring peace and abundance to nation and people. People followed his words and Sueng-Ga Temple is that result. It is said that high monk Daegakguksa Usa visited this place and the master calligrapher, Kim, Jung-Hee stayed here. Kim, Jung-Hee found out the memorial stone of Jinjuensunsoo here and stayed for encrypted the meaning of the letters on the stone for 7days.
During Korean War, almost all the buildings here were destroyed. The cultural assets of the temple are the treasure #1000, the stone statue Suenggadaesasang in the house of Yaksa and the treasure # 215, a seated bronze statue of Gugidong Buddha. Monk Suengga, the high monk of India went to China and delivered his beliefs at the time of the Dang dynasty. People wanted to memorialize his achievements so that it was built the statue of Nahan and renamed into temple Seung-Ga here in Korea. The pond, besides the statue of Suengga has a legend Queen Sohen, the wife of Great King SeJong who was healed after drinking water. This has encouraged many people to drink water here.
If you go up 108 stairs along with the house of Yaksa, you will find a seated bronze statue of Gugidong Buddha at the end of those stairs. Number 108 symbolizes is the number of human agony suffering on living. Not only are there 108 stairs, one should bow 108 times and ring the bell 108 times. When you go up the 108 stairs, you can meet the mental world and human understanding of Buddha.
Jingwansa Temple was built by high monk Jingwan Daesa During the period of King HyeonJong of Goryeo dynasty and well known for being one of the four best temples near the Seoul area. The first King of Joseon dynasty, Taejo, built Suryuksa and had a comfort ceremony for the fallen royal family from Goryeo dynasty. The Great King Sejong made a research library here and helped scholars such as Sung Sammun, Shin Sukju, Park Paengnyeon etc create Hanguel. Jingwansa Temple is suitable for a one night experience because of the beautiful view. The guest houses are newly built for guests and hold several Buddhism programs such as chamseon , bowing 108 times, and barugongyang.

Impact of childhood trauma on dysfunctional behaviours
With years of experience in addictions, trauma and co-dependency treatment, Andrea Taylor manages the new five-day Trauma Programme at The Priory Hospital North London
Childhood experiences
Experiences in early childhood can have a long-lasting and profound impact on peoples' lives. However, this doesn't mean that these experiences have to be defining.
Our team at North London has introduced a new five-day Trauma Programme to help patients to understand how their early childhood issues have potentially fuelled various addictions, mental health issues, eating disorders, and relationship issues in their adult lives.
A recent study into the link between childhood trauma and adult psychosis in the UK found that approximately 60% of respondents reported that they had experienced childhood trauma (Reeder, et al, 2017). As such, it is so important that we help patients to explore what can often be 'root-causes' of adult dysfunctional behaviour, as part of our holistic trauma programme.
The goal of our five-day Trauma Programme is to help people to 'break-free' from their dysfunctional behaviours that have been deep-rooted from a young age.
Another study into The Effects of Childhood and Stress on Health Across the Lifespan, has shown that, at an appropriate level, stress can help children to develop the skills that they need to effectively cope and adapt throughout life. However, during these early stages of development, it is important that children receive support from their parents or caregivers so that they learn how to respond to stress in a healthy manner. Without this support, prolonged periods of stress during childhood can impact a person's nervous and immune systems, and can lead to alcoholism, depression, eating disorders, heart disease, and other chronic diseases (Middlebrooks and Audage, 2008).
Unfortunately, many people that we treat have already lived through and seen some of these impacts first-hand, and our role is to help them to live a more positive and fulfilling life by helping them to identify, deal with, and resolve these childhood traumas.
Underpinning the five-day Trauma Programme
The five-day Trauma Programme, which is unique to Priory in the UK, is based on Pia Mellody's Post Induction Therapy (PIT), a method that is widely used in the USA. The PIT approach utilises an eclectic mix of therapy and treatment models, bringing together elements of:
Gestalt therapy (gestalt helps people to focus on their immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to better understand the way they relate to others, The Gestalt Centre)
Family systems therapy
Transactional analysis therapy
Rational emotive therapy
By using educational and experiential processes, we are able to help patients to identify and address their childhood trauma and family-of-origin issues. Once we can identify these issues, we then work with patients to explore ways to deal with the emotions that accompany their past traumatic events, and how to resolve the resulting grief and distress.
The programme model examines the five core symptoms of co-dependent patterns:
Moderation/containment
Shame - the relationship pollutant
Family and social norms experienced in childhood that are deemed as being 'less than nurturing', can lead to feelings of shame. Children carry this shame with them, from their initial core-relationship with their parents or carers, to other subsequent relationships with themselves and with others. The shame effectively acts as a 'relationship pollutant'.
In the five-day Trauma Programme, therapists act as an advocate to help patients to acknowledge their reality and start to release some of their repressed shame. This is done through our re-parenting process, which includes teaching effective boundaries, self-esteem and moderation.
Preventing relapse
The treatment can have a significant effect on reducing depression, and crucially, helps to prevent relapse.
We require patients to complete a minimum of three therapy sessions, which can be done either before or after the programme, to help prevent relapse and promote long-term change.
The aim is for patients to complete the programme with an understanding of the unhealthy coping behaviours (such as addiction) and damage that they have inherited from their childhood trauma and to learn how to create healthy relationships with others and to have a better understanding of themselves.
Who is it aimed at?
The five-day Trauma Programme is designed to help anyone with co-dependency or attachment disorders and is, therefore, not limited to addiction patients.
The five-day Trauma Programme includes:
Lectures of co-dependency, abuse, love addiction and boundaries
Debrief sessions where patients explore their family-of-origin issues
Shame reduction workshops
From January 2018 our five-day Trauma Programme will include a free aftercare group, which will be offered to graduates on a weekly basis, for one year.
"I cannot put into words the profound impact that doing the trauma week had on me. I became aware of how my family situation moulded my way of coping, which worked for me then, but no longer served me. I felt a sense of freedom from the week, and I gained some good friends. I went away with a set of tools and support that has helped to improve my relationship with myself and my family."
"I found the trauma week to be like an out-of-body experience and afterwards I felt physically, mentally and emotionally three stone lighter. I went to places that I never thought I could go to."
"The programme enabled me to release myself from my past and allow me to move on and start a foundation for a new life. It was actually quite massive; it was a life-changing experience that I would recommend to anyone."

Learning about the Holocaust – in Arabic
September 19, 2012 ArabicDialouge, Holocaust, Palestinians, TiyolNir Boms
I enclose a non-original post this time which deals with a special project that I am proud to be one of its founders. The project, Tiyol-Richle, brings Israelis and Palestinians together to study history via trips in Israel and the West Bank. The enclose article from Harretz describes one part of the recent activity that included a visit to Yad Vashem. It is written by my friend, Egyptian Journalist Khaled Diab. You can find the original here and more details about the project in this facebook group.
In a joint trip to Yad Vashem by Palestinians and Israelis, more than a few lessons are taken in.
By Khaled Diab
"Please excuse my broken Arabic," our guide, Yehuda Yarin, tells the mixed group of Palestinians and Israelis who have come to Yad Vashem to learn more about the Holocaust. It's a three-day joint excursion – a Tiyul-Rihla, the words for "trip" in Hebrew and Arabic – to Acre, Haifa and Jerusalem.
Yarin, whose day job is to guide groups of Jews and Israelis in Poland, including to Auschwitz, has the distinction of being Yad Vashem's only Arabic-language guide. "I first studied Arabic many years ago, at high school. But, you know, at high school the level isn't very good," he tells me. Later he started learning colloquial Arabic.
When the new Yad Vashem – the world's largest Holocaust museum and Israel's second most popular tourist site – opened in 2005, the odd Arabic-speaking group would come to visit. Yarin would show thm around.
Since then, Yarin has guided Palestinians, both from the West Bank and Israel, as well as visitors from countries further afield such as Egypt. "Some of them know nothing," he notes. "Some of them have never heard about the Holocaust. Some of them know the history. It depends."
Although Yarin says he doesn't know what his Arab visitors "think in their hearts," he is impressed by their interest and inquisitiveness. "I'm glad when they ask questions," he says. With the help of Arabic-speaking Israelis and Hebrew-speaking Palestinians in the group, Yarin tries to convey the magnitude and mindlessness of the slaughter.
He says the Holocaust was unique among modern mass killings because it was completely ideological and not an extreme manifestation of a political conflict – over territory or competing nationalisms – as other attempted exterminations were. "The Jews were not the enemies of the German people and they represented no threat to Hitler," he explains.
Although in terms of Jewish history the Holocaust is unique, sadly, the 20th century was filled with genocides, classicides and other mass murders of defenseless groups.
Inside the museum's somber pyramid-shaped galleries, the Tiyul-Rihla group of seven Israelis and six Palestinians, who had come on this three-day excursion organized by volunteers and largely paid for by the participants, wandered through Nazism's hall of shame. They saw it all, including Hitler's rise, the Warsaw Ghetto and the death camps.
Familiar with this horrendous chapter in history, the Israelis followed the commentary and exhibits mostly in rapt silence. For the young Palestinians who were being exposed to the full extent of Nazi atrocities for the first time, their attempts to grasp the enormity led them to ply our guide with questions.
"If the Jews were so assimilated and successful, why did the Germans turn against them?"
"Was Einstein Jewish?"
"Why did the Jews believe the lies about the Nazi death camps?"
"Why didn't the Soviets help the Jews?"
"Why did the West refuse to take in the Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors?"
The personal stories showcased in the museum gave the experience a human face that the Palestinians visibly appreciated, while the section dedicated to the Righteous Among the Nations elicited the interest of both sides. That section chronicles non-Jews who protected Jews – including Muslims in Bosnia, Albania, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and other countries.
The Arabic being spoken by members of the group drew curious glances from Israeli visitors, who seemed to be trying to figure out what we were about. The passersby included groups of young recruits to the Israel Defense Forces, apparently on motivational tours. They caused unarticulated yet visible stirrings of discomfort among the young Palestinians, whose only exposure to Israeli soldiers comes with the soldiers as agents of the occupation.
Although some in the group had been to Yad Vashem before, experiencing it with this unusual group was an eye-opener. "It's important to see something you think you know well through someone else's eyes," says Dara Frank, 22, an American-Israeli student working on a master's in international relations at the Hebrew University. It makes you "start questioning what you think you already know."
Another visitor is Mohammed Mahareeq, 23. He is originally from Hebron but works at a hotel in Ramallah and volunteers with the Palestinian Red Crescent.
"When it comes to the Holocaust, we only learn the basics about it at school, that Hitler slaughtered the Jews, so this trip has helped us acquire a lot of extra knowledge," he says.
The idea that Palestinians study the Holocaust at school, visit Yad Vashem and display genuine interest in the tragedy is likely to come as a surprise to many Israelis who regularly see media reports about Arab and Muslim Holocaust denial.
One recent example was Hamas' angry response following the visit to Auschwitz by Ziad al-Bandak, a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Describing the Holocaust as an "alleged tragedy," a Hamas spokesman said the visit was "unjustified and unhelpful."
The plight of one's enemy
Hamas' outburst, as well as the availability of literature questioning the Holocaust in some Arab countries, prove that there are Arabs who deny that this horrendous crime took place. But fixating on Holocaust deniers, as some segments of the Israeli media do, distorts the reality and plays down the importance of the work of people like al-Bandak, who has visited Auschwitz and expressed sympathy for the plight of his people's enemy. And he did so during a period of heightened animosity and distrust between the two sides.
But he is not a lone wolf. Many Palestinians are aware of the historic tragedy that befell their Jewish neighbors, but are often muted in expressing their sympathy due to the bitterness of the conflict or out of a conviction that it will be used as a political weapon against them. "Many Palestinians feel that sympathizing too much with Israelis could lead to justification for the occupation," Sami Adwan, a professor of education at Bethlehem University, was once quoted by the BBC as saying.
But there are those who point out that mutual sympathy is essential to building trust and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. Determined to act on this conviction, one eccentric Palestinian-Israeli opened his own tiny Holocaust museum in Nazareth and tours the West Bank raising awareness about this dark chapter.
"When Palestinians learn about the Holocaust, they will understand the Jewish people better and can begin to develop a shared history," Khaled Mahameed, the founder of the tiny museum he established with his own money, was quoted as saying.
And building understanding and compassion is exactly what the Tiyul-Rihla trip to Yad Vashem is about. "The idea behind the initiative is to expose each side to the other side's narrative, and to have a very deep conversation about it," explains Israeli journalist and activist Nir Boms, one of the idea's originators.
A similar view was voiced by Ibrahim Yassin, an activist and professional cook from East Jerusalem whose night job as a DJ is clear by his look.
"Personally, I think this trip is very interesting because it's breaking down the walls between us: Israelis and Palestinians," he says.
There have been three joint trips (two to Israel, one to the West Bank ), and the participants have brainstormed ideas for a fourth, to the Palestinian territories. The Palestinians seek to introduce the Israelis to the Nakba (the Catastrophe ), the term Palestinians use to describe perhaps the most defining trauma in their national experience: the exodus of up to three-quarters of Palestine's Arab population, most of whom were not allowed to return following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948.
They lament the absence of a museum chronicling this painful chapter of Palestinian history. Some Palestinians suggest that the Israelis join them on a trip to a refugee camp to give them deeper insight into contemporary life for many Palestinians.
"I want to introduce our Jewish friends to the suffering of the Palestinians …. Just as they told us about their suffering in detail from an Israeli perspective, I'd like them to hear all the details about our stories," reflects Mutasem Halawani, a student of business management from Jerusalem. "This helps build an

Q: How can i find selected area in photo using OpenCV? I need to detect a selected area in a photo:

Original photo:

I used this code:
import cv2 as cv
import numpy as np
img = cv.imread(cv.samples.findFile('./Pictures/GreenPool720.png',))

gray = cv.cvtColor(img,cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
edges = cv.Canny(gray,50,150,apertureSize = 3)
lines = cv.HoughLinesP(edges,1,np.pi/180,100,minLineLength=1, maxLineGap=30)
for line in lines:
    x1,y1,x2,y2 = line[0]
    cv.line(img,(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(0,255,0),2)
cv.imshow('1', img)
cv.waitKey()

And got this photo:

Please tell me what to do so that I get the right photo

A: Basic Idea
The green color is pretty distinct in the image and can be segmented using a different color space. Here we use the LAB color space to segment the green from the a-component. The a-component represents color variation between red and green making easy to isolate either color. More on this here
Once the green board is segmented you can follow your approach.
Approach:

*

*Segmenting green pool board:

*

*Perform Otsu Threshold on a-component

*Find the largest contour and create a mask out of it

*Capture the region of interest (green board)

*Edge detection using Canny algorithm

*Line detection using Hough transform

*Post processing to filter out unwanted lines

Code:
img = cv2.imread('image_path')
# creating a duplicate copy
img2 = img.copy()
lab = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2LAB)
a_comp = lab[:,:,1]
# Otsu Threshold on a-channel
th = cv2.threshold(a_comp,127,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV+cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]

# Finding the contour with maximum area and create a mask
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(th, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
c = max(contours, key = cv2.contourArea)
black = np.zeros((img.shape[0], img.shape[1]), np.uint8)
mask = cv2.drawContours(black,[c],0,255, -1)

# Mask out the green board
anded = cv2.bitwise_and(img, img, mask = mask)

# Following the approach as above
gray = cv2.cvtColor(anded,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
edges = cv2.Canny(gray,50,150,apertureSize = 3)
lines = cv2.HoughLinesP(edges,1,np.pi/180,100,minLineLength=1, maxLineGap=30)

Q: Google Chrome DevTools site dimensions missing since the update to Version 49.0.2623.87 of Google Chrome im missing the overlay of the site which tells you (on resize) which dimensions the website has.
Anyone knows how to turn it on again, or is it removed?
It always saved some time for checking the styles for different breakpoints.
Thank you very much.

A: I have the same version of chrome and for me when I right-click in the webpage and click on Inspect
When hovering over a  breakpoint you should see the dimensions in the top left
The Chrome change log does not mention this feature being changed.

Looking back, when Atlanta inked QB Matt Ryan to a league-record $150 million contract extension in the offseason last year, it mirrored the path Detroit followed the previous season when it signed QB Matthew Stafford to a $135 deal. Both teams missed the playoffs, with the Falcons snapping a two-year playoff skein (which reminds us to keep a pulse on Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks this season.) It's no excuses this year for Atlanta this year, though, as Ryan finds himself surrounded by a strike-force that could well be the league's most dynamic trio in wide receivers Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu, and Calvin Ridley, not to mention TE Austin Hooper, a Pro Bowler last season. Suddenly, protecting Ryan became priority-one for the Falcons when they proceeded to snap up two offensive linemen in the first round of this year's draft.
The schedule is a bit of a paradox as Atlanta takes on 8 foes in its first nine games that were either winning teams or in the playoffs last season. With it, 6 of its last seven games to conclude the season will come against opponents that owned losing records in 2018. As a result, should they fly right throughout the first half of the campaign behind former OC Dirk Koetter, the Dirty Birds could be back in postseason play.
STAT YOU WILL LIKE: QB Matt Ryan is 10-1 SUATS in home openers with the Falcons.
PLAY ON: at New Orleans (11/10)
INSIDE THE STATS: The Falcons are 12-22 SU and 10-24 ATS the L5Y in games where they were outgained.

Suddenly, Superman's cape is wearing thin. Cam Newton insists recovery from off-season shoulder surgery has been "unbelievable." He says that he has regained full strength in his arm. Newton's statement came after months of speculation that his shoulder just wasn't right, and many observers questioned whether his throwing shoulder, for which he had undergone surgery in 2017, would ever be the same. At the start of the 2018 season, Newton claimed he felt better than he had in years. He quickly guided his team to a 6-2 record. But the former Heisman Trophy winner and league MVP struggled in the second half of the season, often relying on backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke to throw Hail Mary passes, and critics once again asked if his shoulder was healthy. Newton later admitted he often struggled to throw the ball 30 yards down the field and the Panthers shut down their franchise quarterback for the last two games of the season. It's what happens when you suddenly turn old.
Following a 7-9 campaign last year, Carolina looked to get younger this offseason. For openers, they turned to the AAF and signed six players. On the other side of the ball, first-year DC Eric Washington struggled as the defense declined 30 YPG. First-round pick Brian Burns is a stud and should help fill the gap at either DE or LB. And the addition of DT Gerald McCoy should help a deep and athletic defensive line. Finally, adding West Virginia QB Will Grier should provide adequate insurance should Newton wear down again at season's end.
STAT YOU WILL LIKE: Carolina is 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS as a dog against foes coming off a SU underdog win under head coach Ron Rivera.
PLAY ON: vs. Atlanta (11/17) - KEY

The Saints made major strides in adding weapons for Drew Brees in what could be the final push to get him back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 10 years when they added TE Jared Cook. With WR Ted Ginn Jr. in a contract year, they will combine with WR Michael Thomas to provide an aerial assault as good as any in the league. Taylor comes off his finest season as a pro in 2018 with 125 catches for 1,045 yards and nine touchdowns.
In addition, star RB Alvin Kamara welcomes Latavius Murray in the backfield. With Pro Bowl C Max Unger now retired, the Saints selected Erik McCoy with their first pick in the draft. McCoy allowed just one sack in 39 starts at Texas A&M. The elephant in the room is how much longer the 40-year old Brees can continue to perform at his Hall of Fame level. The fact that he had a 74.4 completion percentage last season, breaking his own record, puts those thoughts immediately to rest. No one in the history of the NFL has come close to being that accurate. After being one play away from the Super Bowl each of the past two seasons, and playing with a chip on their shoulder that would rival Mount Kilimanjaro, the Saints appear ready to go mountain climbing in 2019.
STAT YOU WILL LIKE: The Saints are 33-13-1 ATS in games following consecutive SUATS wins under Sean Payton, including 23-4-1 ATS against winning foes.
PLAY ON: at LA Rams (9/15) - KEY
INSIDE THE STATS: QB Drew Brees has thrown for 4,000 or more yards in each of the last 13 seasons.

After the Bucs outyarded 10 of their 16 opponents last year – yet somehow finished with a 5-11 record – new head coach Bruce Arians brings a 49-30-1 SU all-time mark as an NFL head coach to Tampa Bay. Arians' forte is developing quarterbacks, working his magic with Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, and Carson Palmer. He was brought aboard with the hopes of resurrecting Jameis Winston's career. The former Heisman Trophy winner is in the final year of his contract and needs to show vast improvement to maintain his starting status in this league.
Meanwhile, the Bucs concentrated on repairing a leaking defense that had taken a step backward each of the last three seasons when six of their eight draft picks were on the defensive side of the ball. New DC Todd Bowles comes over from the New York Jets where his body of work featured one of the best run defenses in the NFL, holding teams to just 4.0 yards per carry, the sixth-lowest figure in the NFL during that span. Bowles' Jets defense also allowed opposing offenses to convert only 36.0 percent of third downs, the fourth-lowest mark in the league. Opposing passers also completed just 60.6 percent of their throws against the Jets under Bowles, the third-lowest mark in the NFL. If any team in this division should stumble, look for the 'A' train to put Winston and the defense back on the right track.
STAT YOU WILL LIKE: NFL away teams in the first Thursday night game of the season (the Bucs this year) are 1-15 SU and 2-10-4 ATS.
PLAY ON: vs. NY Giants (9/22)
INSIDE THE STATS: The Bucs have gone 6-18 ITS at home in division games the last 8 years.

To create or contribute content to a tome, you must have a user account. You can sign up from tomehost for an account. Alternatively, if someone invites you to contribute to a tome, you will be sent a link that will allow you to create an account and join a tome.
You must confirm your account after registering by clicking on the link you'll receive by email. This is to ensure that your email address is correct, and belongs to you.
Passwords in the database are salted and hashed, meaning that we have no way to recover your password if you forget it. However, there is a reset mechanism that will send and email with a temporary link that can be used to reset the password.
At present there is no mechanism to change the email address of an account. Since all emails are verified (to ensure you cannot sign up with a fake email address, or an address that does not belong to you), the procedure for this will require you to contact tomehost support to request a change.
4.1. What is a tome?
A tome is defined in the dictionary as "a book, especially a large, heavy, scholarly one."
We use the term "tome" to refer to a named container of content, consisting of nested headings, and the various text, image and other content under them.
Typically you would create a tome for a particular product or service, to hold instructions or other technical information.
To create a tome, go to the "My Tomes" page and click the "New Tome" button.
If you upload a logo, this will appear in the 'My Tomes' list, and also at the top of the page when users view the tome.
The tome title is optional. If set, this will show as the title of the tome in the 'My Tomes' list, and also at the top of the page when viewing the tome if there is no logo uploaded.
If there is no logo or title, the tome name (a required field) will show both in the 'My Tomes' listing and at the top of the page when viewing the tome.
The description is optional, and just gives a brief overview for you own reference. We may in future pull this into an 'about' page for each tome, or provide it as popup information, so don't put any sensitive internal information here.
Tome names must be between 4 and 100 characters long, and may contain only upper or lowercase letters, numbers, or dashes.
Because the tome name is used in URLs, you should ensure that it is something that is broadly descriptive or relevant to the content.
You can change a tome name later, as long as the new name you want is not already taken. However, it is strongly advised NOT to do this once a tome is established, as existing links in search engines, forums and so on to your tome will no longer work. It makes sense to think carefully about your tome name and get it right first time.
tomehost can export and import tomes in an XML format called DocBook XML, which is designed for storing books. We chose this format as it is a documented standard and supports the data types we need, as well as section numbering.
The version we use is DocBook v5. For more information about the XML schema, see https://docbook.org.
Some DocBook XML files exported from third-party applications may not be recreated in their entirety within tomehost, depending on what features and types of sections they contain.
There is an export button on each tome, when you view the list.
It is good practice to regularly save XML exports of your tomes as a backup. You can easily import them into a new tome if your original tome content was accidentally deleted or otherwise damaged.
tomehost has support for importing tomes in Docbook v5 format too. This is primarily intended for importing tomes exported from tomehost, rather than third party XML imports.
Not all DocBook v5 content features are incorporated, so you may find that third party file imports fail, or are missing some sections.
The import process will try to retrieve files such as images and downloadable files from the original tome. If these are no longer present, you may find content is missing from your new tome.
There is no specific 'clone' feature, however this is simple to accomplish using the import/export features. Simply export a tome, and then reimport the file as a new tome.
In the listings within "My Tomes", click on the name of the tome to view that tome.
Go to "My Tomes" to list your tomes. Admins of a tome will see a full set of options, whereas contributors and editors can only view/edit tome content.
Deleted tomes will display on the system and can be undeleted for a period of a week or so, before they will be cleaned up permanently.
Many documentation projects require that authors who might be in different departments, working on different features or even based in different locations can collaborate on a single tome.
To ensure that multiple users don't interfere with what others are working on, tomehost employs a permissions system that will be familiar to computer programmers who use source control to allow multiple users to collaborate on software development.
If you view 'My Tomes', each tome has a 'User Management' button. Clicking this brings up a page where you can invite new users, or edit/remove existing users. You can also resend invites to users who may not have received the first email for whatever reason.
There are several different user roles, each with a different set of permissions.
The role a user has can vary from tome to tome. For example, tommy@tomehost.com can be an administrator on one tome, an admin owner of another, and just a read-only user on another.
Administrators have full permissions on the system. They can create/edit content, publish content and manage users. They can also unlock or publish content that is checked out to another user.
Each tome has a single admin owner - the user who created it.
Admin owners have the same permissions as administrators.
The features and options available within a tome will derive from the package which the admin owner of the tome has with tomehost. For example, if the admin owner has an enterprise package, any tomes they own will have enterprise features available.
Editors can create/edit content and publish content. They cannot unlock content checked out to others, and they cannot invite users to a tome or otherwise manage users.
Contributors can edit/create content, but they cannot publish it. Once they have completed their work, they should unlock it so that an editor can check and publish it.
On private tomes (paid accounts only), only users of a tome can view its content - the tome is not visible publicly. The read-only user provides access to view private tomes, but has no ability to edit/create content or make any other changes to the tome.
You can send invites to colleagues or other people that you want to contribute to a tome that you're a member of. If they don't have an account on tomehost already, they will be sent a link that will guide them to set up an account and then map them as a user of the tome. If they already have an account on tomehost then clicking the link in the mail will link their account to the new tome so they'll have full access to it.
When a user edits any heading or content within a section, or moves a section, that entire section will be checked out to them. This is signified in the left hand menu with a green tick.
If content is checked out to you, other authors will see it appear on their menu with a blue icon. They will not be able to edit or make changes to it. If you hover over content or headings that are checked out to other users, a tool tip will tell you who it is checked out to. This way, you can contact that person if (for example) there are urgent changes you need to make to it.
Above: Section 9 here is checked out to the author 'Paul'. It is locked to him and cannot be edited by other users.
Publishing content automatically unlocks it; other authors will be free to make changes to that section (which will lock it to them).
Sometimes, you may not want to publish a section, but might want to unlock it so that another author can work on it. In this case, select the section in the left hand menu and use the 'Unlock' button.
The content will remain green (indicating it is not yet published, and is different to the live version), but the icon will revert to the document one.
When writing content, you work in the 'draft' version. This is not visible to the public until you publish it. You can switch between the published view and the draft view with the buttons towards the top right of the page.
The draft view has a grey background to differentiate it from the published view which has a white background.
There is actually a third set of content that you cannot see - the archive. Whenever you publish changes, the present 'live' content is moved to the archive, and then the draft content is published - updating the 'live' with your changes.
In the future we intend to have features that let you view previous versions of content and other archive details.
Once you've clicked though to start working on your new blank tome, you should see an instruction to right-click on the root of the tome in order to add your first heading.
Once you have added a heading, you will see this on the screen in the main area. You will notice that as soon as you click off the text area, the content saves. You don't need to manually save as you go, any changes to text or headings or other content is automatically saved when you click elsewhere.
This is a piece of info!
Just post the embed text in a Video Tag.
Downloadable Content: "This is a sample file download block"
Headings - To order headings you just need to drag and drop the headings on the left sidebar treeview menu. You can move a heading inside another heading, or move it somewhere else within the hierarchy.
Contents - Every content section (text, image, code, ...) has a menu on the left side represented by an arrow, just click on it and you should see the ordering options (Move up/Move down).
Moving content will check out the section, and the change won't be visible to the public until you publish it.
Cross references are internal links to other sections of a tome.
You can create a cross reference from within a text content box, a warning or an information block. Simply type "@" followed by either the text from the heading you wish to link to, or its section number. A menu will appear with sections that match as you type, and you can click to choose. This will format a link which will include by the section number and the heading text.
Cross references point to the ID of a particular heading, and so are independent of both the text or the section number used to create them, and that they display. If the section number later changes (because for example, a new section is inserted before it), this should be reflected in the visible text on the cross reference. Similarly, if the text of the heading is changed later, the text of any cross references will immediately be updated.
Here is a sample cross reference: @4.2. Creating/editing a tome .
If you have a cross reference pointing at a particular heading, and then you try to delete that heading, the system will prevent you from doing this - otherwise, you would end up with cross references pointing to non-existent locations. When this happens, a notification will popup telling you where the cross references are.
In the case below, we tried to delete 10. Test section, but cross references in 6.5.3 and 6.7.2 prevented this. Once the cross references are removed from those sections, we will be able to carry out the delete operation.
To publish content, check the sections you wish to publish in the left hand treeview menu, and then click the 'publish' button. Click through the warning popup to confirm.
Once sections are published, the icon changes to a grey document again, indicating the item is neither checked out nor pending publication.
You don't need to publish all pending sections. If one section is ready before the others, you can publish it when ready and do the others later.
If you have made changes to a section, but decide you want to cancel them not publish, you can use the 'rollback' feature. Select the section(s) to rollback in the treeview menu, then click the rollback button.
The section will be unlocked and the draft content will be reinstated to match the current published content.
One of the key tools when editing your tome is the treeview menu on the left hand side of the page. This section gives an overview of the tasks you can perform from the treeview menu, which might not be obvious when you first look at it.
The treeview has its own right-click menu that appears when you right-click on a section. If you want to add your first section heading, or new top-level heading, right click the root of the tome (the top element in the menu) and you'll get the option to add a new subheading of the root (i.e. a top-level heading).
If you right-click on existing headings, their will be more options available, as you can insert any type of content.
To move sections and subsections around, simply drag and drop within the treeview menu. A small indicator arrow will appear to the left hand side of the numbers to show where the heading will be inserted. You can insert between to existing headings, or you can drag and drop onto a heading to nest the heading within that section.
The tomehost interface has a search box on the left hand side, just above the treeview. This searches in two ways.
As you type, it will try to match with heading names and highlight matching ones (bold, italic and orange). However, this only matches visible headings; it won't look inside at nested headings that have not been expanded, or at the content within a heading section.
Click the search button to submit a search. This runs a full search against all headings, and should produce more comprehensive results. It searches both headings and the content immediately under them for the entered keywords.
The search uses an 'AND' operator, and also searches content within a heading as well as the heading itself. So in this case above, the three sections contained the words 'user' and 'access' within either the heading and/or the content immediately under the heading.
Tomes can be deleted using the trash can icon on the 'My Tomes' listing.
There is a popup warning before you delete, just in case you hit the button by accident.
Tomes are not immediately deleted, but are instead marked for deletion. From time to time, we will purge the system of tomes marked for deletion. Until then, you can still undelete the tome and restore it.
If you have a web control panels on your SaaS product or web software, embedding help can make access to documentation quicker and simpler for the user, and significantly reduces your technical support demands.
Links can be placed right next to particular features in your control panel. These will bring up the exact section or subsection of the documentation that is relevant to that feature.
The tome section will appear in a popup window within the same page. This can be resized, minimized and moved around, to ensure it does not obscure form fields or important information on the page. The tome help will remain visible as the user enters information into a form, and does not require the jarring process of switching back and forth between different tabs or different programs (such as PDF readers).
tomehost has built in tools to generate the code you need to embed the tome system and links to particular sections within your control panels.
Navigate to any heading in the PUBLISHED version. When you hover over it, some grey icons appear to the right. Click the third one.
You should see the link appear as a small circle with a question mark within it. Clicking this should launch the embedded help popup, and open it to the section where you generated the link.
QR ("quick response") codes are a form of barcode; a two dimensional representation of data that can be optically recognized and read by many devices. Virtually all smartphones and tablets now have cameras and software that will recognize these codes.
On Android, Google Lens is the most common way to read QR codes. The Microsoft Launcher is also a good option; just tap the camera icon on its search box, and point at the QR code and the target tome page will open up immediately in your browser. Depending on which manufacturer version of Android you have, you may find that simply pointing the default camera app at a QR code will recognize it and give you the option to open the web site.
In Apple's iOS that runs on iPads and iPhones, you should be able to just point the camera at a QR code and will then get the option on screen to open the web site in Safari.
To generate a QR code that will draw users to the root of your tome, view the published tome (select the published tab if you are logged in). There is a QR code link to the top right of the page.
Note that the QR and print links are only visible on larger screens, and will be hidden on most mobile devices.
Clicking the link brings up a dialog with the QR code. You need to right-click to copy this because unlike text, most browsers don't allow images to be copied programmatically.
In a complex machine or installation, you may want to direct users to specific sections of the documentation. For this, you can generate direct line QR codes from any published section. Simply hover over the heading with your mouse and you'll see a small QR code icon. Click this to bring up the QR code dialog.
QR codes continue the tomehost principle of "problem to solution in a single click", extending it to physical items.
Machinery or complex products can have QR codes on serial number plates or labels so that anyone servicing the device can easily find the relevant technical documentation instantly. Furthermore, plant installations can have specific QR codes on various components, pulling up just the right section of the user documentation.
QR codes can be used internally in factories constructing large items such as aircraft, plant machinery, and so on, ensuring technicians can access the relevant documentation instantly.
tomehost QR codes also reduce errors, where technicians access out of date or incorrect documentation; as long as the correct QR code is placed on the item, the correct documentation will always be retrieved.
