Increasing obesity statistics have sparked St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center to launch a kidney transplant program. The hospital was officially approved for kidney transplant in April and expects to do its first transplant before the end of summer. As obesity and diabetes continue to become more prevalent, experts say kidney disease will also become more common. Currently, more than 1,500 Arizonans are in need of a kidney transplant.

July marks the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's famous "Luckiest Man" farewell speech which Gehrig delivered after being diagnosed with ALS. Barrow ALS experts are available for interviews to discuss how Gehrig raised awareness of the debilitating disease and how Barrow's new groundbreaking ALS center is expected to bring Arizona to the forefront of research and medical treatment of ALS. Please call 602.406.3319 to schedule interviews.
Since the opening of Chandler Regional Medical Center's Level I Trauma Center in March, the hospital has more than doubled its original trauma volume projection. The new trauma center has cared for more than 750 patients since it's opening and the hospital is scheduled to open a state-of-the-art 96-bed patient tower next month to accommodate the trauma volume. With the new tower completion on the horizon, hospital administrators anticipate an annual trauma and emergency volume upwards of 2,500 patients as opposed to the originally projected 1,500. Stay tuned for more details about the opening of the new tower.
Mercy Gilbert Medical Center has launched a unique platform to help its medical staff openly discuss the most challenging emotional and social issues that arise in caring for seriously ill patients. Called the Schwartz Center Rounds, the forum provides an opportunity to explore the human dimension of health care and help caregivers connect with patients emotionally to provide a higher level of compassionate care and humankindness. The rounds at Mercy Gilbert will begin this month. Please call 602.406.3319 if you are interested in covering this story.

"Elizabeth and Owen have been invaluable to us as we've dealt with an explosion of Trademark and IP infringements over the last several years. Their approach has always been personal, yet professional, and I appreciate the fact that we're treated like partners as opposed to just clients. They welcome the insights we have about our own brand, applying their expertise along with the proprietary knowledge we provide. I can't emphasize how important that is to a niche brand such as Thrasher Magazine."

"Elizabeth and Owen, they've got it goin',
And treat us like we're Kings.
More importantly, they know IP,
And entertainment things.
Years ago, when times were slow,
We "poked the bear" you see,
But Elizabeth the Great, did not hesitate,
And Owen joined with She.
Together bound, they then unwound,
The complexities of marks.
They fought for us, they earned our trust,
And silenced [Name Withheld due to Confidentiality Agreement]'s barks!
And now we stand, astride the land,
We're Financial Avengers®
We own that name and the content game,
Is ours for eternity.1
But this odd ballad, pale and pallid,
Cannot explain to thee,
The honest crutch and human touch,
That Crown®, LLP is to we.
They are our friends, until the end,
We rely on them constantly.
So don't be stupid – it's undisputed –
Hire them instantly."
The Captain, The Oracle, Financial Avengers Inc.

We do, however, own our marks now and in the future – here, there, and everywhere – and because of that, we highly recommend their services. Not only are they exceptional attorneys, they are also delightful human beings.

"You know how, or I've seen this on Facebook before but you know how people say that there's been psychology studies about how if you're friends with someone for seven years or longer then you're going to be friends for life.
I remember seeing that like, I don't know, a year, year and a half ago and I was like 'Oh yeah that's totally true, like that makes sense,' because at the time I had a really really close friend. I had been friends with her for seven years at the time.
We went to high school together, we were so close, we went on a lot of trips together, but last year we just went our own separate ways because we disagreed about some things in our lives, but it was just a really weird, we were so close. I've never been so close with someone before and then we just stopped talking to each other and I felt like it was something she was supposed to come to me for. I always felt like I didn't have anything to apologize for. Some things I could apologize for, but I'm not going to reach out to her.
I always was hoping that she was going to reach out to me and say something, but it's been months now, I don't even know how long, but it's been a long time and she hasn't and I feel like I've always still wanted her to reach out to me and tell me that I understand what you thought and I think you were right and I'm sorry, but I think at this point I just need to get rid of that and not think or expect or hope that she's ever going to do that, because I think that that bridge is just burned and I have to live with that."
"My confession is that I'm not as sad as I should be about my uncle dying. He had three failed back surgeries and he was in a lot of pain all the time.
He started buying non-FDA approved medication off of the streets and then one day one of the medications he bought, I don't remember what it was called, but it was laced with carfentanil so he overdosed and died but to this day my grandma just says that his heart gave out from all the medication. She doesn't want anyone to know that it was an overdose even though it's fair that he went to the streets to get stronger pain medication.
A few weeks before he died he texted me asking if I could send him pot in the mail and I told him no even though I knew he was going to use it for pain relief, but I didn't want anything to go wrong and I was super paranoid and then he died a few weeks later. I really don't think like a year down the line I don't think he would have been very good cause he was starting to lose the ability to walk and he was in a lot of pain and I think he was being tested for cancer when he died. Pretty just sad, obviously, but it's a lot more relief than sadness. I don't know if that's how it should be, but it is and part of me is a little, not happy, but just relieved that I don't to see him deteriorate, because he was the strongest person I know."
"I don't believe in the same religion my parents believe in anymore. The reason being, at some point in high school I just decided that I no longer, I could no longer stand going to a church that I felt was full of hypocrites or believing in a religion that I thought was not totally truthful or wasn't factual.
At some point, junior year of high school, I told my parents that I wasn't going to church anymore. They were weird about it, they were kind of like 'Oh yeah yeah, no worries, just come once every other week or something,' but I was like, 'No, I'm not coming to church anymore.' I wanted to find out exactly what I believed in myself.
I didn't know what that was and so I felt like I needed space to at least figure out where I wanted to go. College rolls around and I'm still not going to church, I still don't really know what I believe in. I would tell people I was agnostic. I didn't believe in a God, but there could be something out there. Freshman year I still wasn't sure where I landed and one day on campus this guy approaches me and asks me if I had ever considered doing a bible study. This is still something I want to find out and I still want to explore, because it was a large part of my life. I went to church for sixteen years every single Sunday and did Sunday school every week and multiple church events. Most of the community I was involved with was based around church. To have that kind of go away was weird.
So, I explored this bible study thing for a while, but I kind of realized half way through that I was just convinced that I wasn't into it, I wasn't going to believe whatever he said. It was kind of pointless from the start. It was a waste of his time and a waste of mine, because even if what he was saying resonated with me, I would just not listen. I would convince myself that it wasn't true. Instead of exploring that I shut myself off to it. Instead of actually experiencing or trying to understand what I believed.
Every time I go back home, my parents ask me to go to church and for a while I always said I'm not going to do that. I'd rather spend my Sunday morning sleeping in and eating the left-over bacon from my parent's breakfast, but now I just humor them and I go to church anyways. I don't know, it kind of feels sacrilegious in a way, because I don't necessarily believe what they're saying but I'm still there. If they pass out communion, it's for believers, I always take a cracker and a cup of wine just to not be awkward, but it's really something that I, you know, I don't know what I believe and I'm still trying to find that out. I'm not sure if I've closed myself off to certain possibilities because of my own insecurities or my own wants or desires."
"I was in high school, it was sophomore year. My friends and I started drinking. I was really depressed for some reason, I'm not really sure what caused it, but it was right after my boyfriend and I broke up we started drinking a lot.
My friends all thought I had a problem and so they stopped talking to me for a while. It was really shitty and I didn't realize how weird it was to not have friends until after I had to go through a whole semester of high school with almost no one and then I realized that it wasn't worth maintaining all the drama just to prove my point. So, I kind of just gave in and was like 'Guys, I'm really sorry that I never heard you out when you were trying to tell me shit was wrong before.' It was really weird. I stopped drinking for like a year and a half after that."
"When I was in the third grade, my parents got divorced. Growing up in a conservative town, that wasn't the norm, it was all nuclear families. So, when I was in the third grade which you're only eight years old and I told everyone in my class that my parents were getting divorced a lot of things came up in my life and I'm the oldest in my family.
I have a younger sibling so she didn't really understand what was going on and I did. I don't know if your parents are divorced, but when they do get divorced there is always a part of you that feels like you're the person that is the reason for it. That maybe you did something wrong, because you're so young you don't understand that it's obviously your parents falling out of love and not your fault.
Growing up in this conservative town I was just not the norm. I didn't fit in with everyone, because people's parents would come to school dances just to take pictures and stuff like that and I was the only that my mom would just be there, because my dad ended up leaving. I guess growing up not having the parent, that kind of messed me up in the head for future relationships, not just romantically but with friendships, because I felt like I always had to outdo myself.
It was always a fear of not being good enough and not being enough for someone. That's also not helpful because I consider myself to be a romantic and I really fantasize about my wedding one day and just everything like that. Now a days when I get into relationships, thankfully I'm in an amazing relationship with a man that would never ever judge me for something like that, but it's just a constant fear and I think it's something that needs to be talked about more with kids that are victims of divorce, because there is just a lot of self-blame in there and I know now that I'm not the one to blame."
"I'm really scared that I'm going to become like my dad. Growing up I feel like he wasn't really someone who I wanted to become, he isn't very social. He doesn't do a lot and he doesn't have a lot of ambition, but I feel like I'm starting to get a lot of his characteristics as I get older.
I realize that I'm doing that. I talked to my brother about it and he's also doing that. I feel like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy for us to become like our parents. Even if we don't want to be. I feel like I do a lot of things to try and spite that and go against that specifically so it doesn't happen. Even when I do things that seem adventurous for me, something that he would never do now, as I get older I learn more about his past and the stuff he did. How he acted when he was young and it was really similar to the things that I do now. Kind of in that same defiance. I feel like I'm just getting more stressed and more isolated and more apathetic as I get older. It feels like it's all coming together as I get older."
"Last year I had a stalker for the full year, he was coming to both of my jobs and it was really not something that I was addressing for a really long time, because my boyfriend at the time, who I also didn't realize was super abusive, just told me to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, but it was this stranger who was just following me around.
He made me feel really unsafe and then he came to Norlin the other day and it really freaked me out and I had a really bad panic attack. He's never done anything physical, but he just doesn't listen to me when I say I don't want to talk to him. I was talking to my bosses who I trust and they told me that I should file a police report, but I have never really felt the need to do that just because I don't really have a lot of faith in the criminal justice system anyway.
My bosses convinced me, I did it willingly, but I filled this report and I was super hysterical when this police officer came in and the whole time he was asking me these questions and interrupting me and he ended up telling me that I should go back to counseling, because of this stalker and he said, 'I just want you to know that I deal with criminal things and what I'm hearing isn't a crime.' It was just really stupid and I couldn't believe that I was in that predicament.
You hear it all the time that women don't get anything that they need when they report certain crimes. Feeling unsafe or assault, that kind of stuff, and I've never even tried to. It's because I always expect it like that. I finally did and it was just super terrible. The actual process of my Thursday, the worst part was me actually trying to file a report versus just having a panic attack."
"Coming from a really little town to school was pretty hard, because it was just a big shock. I've had friends since I was two years old and then all of a sudden, they weren't around.
It was really hard to get used to being surrounded by a bunch of people I didn't know and having to get out there. Try new things.
I was so trusting; the people I've know my whole life I knew they were good people so I never second guessed anyone that I met. I fell in with a group of people that didn't do things that I agreed with, but I was so trusting anyway that I was like 'It's okay, they're fine.' Then it started getting weird and I got out.
They were doing a lot of drugs and they were lying to people and they stole stuff from people they cared about. I wasn't okay with that. One girl lied about the rent or the deposit to her family so she could steal $500 from her mom. Which I thought was pretty ridiculous, because she already had money. She just got that money so she could get more drugs. That was the last straw."
"In high school, I used to hang out with this group of guys who were, I guess you could say, rebels or just bad guys. Not bad necessarily, but they just got into a lot of trouble and were just always trying to rebel or do ridiculous stuff.
I started hanging out with these guys in high school, I don't even know I got to hanging out with them, but I was dating one of them and kind of just got into their group. Basically, I just used to hang out with them and do ridiculous shit.
They used to have this tree house and I would sneak out of my parents' house in the middle of the night and go hangout with them at this tree house. Everyone would be smoking and drinking and doing drugs. I was young, I was fifteen or sixteen at the time and it just felt like I shouldn't be doing that, but at the same time I was having so much fun and feeling cool. It was strange. I would hang out with these guys and they would just get into a lot of trouble. They would do shit like go break into graveyards and mess around with stuff or one time I was with them and they, I didn't do this, but they went to Walmart and stole a bunch of alcohol. It was just fun to hang out with them, but I usually wasn't doing the illegal things, I would just observe and be there for support I guess.
I never really got into any serious trouble, but one of the guys who was in that group ended up going to jail for doing some crazy stuff. During the time, it just felt so fun and I always looked forward to hanging out with them on the weekends. They were always planning something fun or crazy or weird. We used to do this stuff which I don't even know why I did this stuff, but they introduced me to this stuff called Spice. It's synthetic weed. Basically, it makes you hallucinate. We used to do it all the time. At first it was really fun and I liked doing it. The only reason they were doing Spice was because one of the guys in the group, Adam, was getting drug tested and it doesn't show up on drug tests. We basically used to do Spice all the time, but there was one time we did way too much and I was freaking out. We were actually in my parent's backyard. I feel like I would do all this stuff and my parents would never know about me sneaking out or doing drugs with these people. I was sneaky or they were oblivious. I ended up doing too much Spice and freaking out. Tripping really hard.
That was the end of that for me. Whenever they would hangout and smoke Spice I just didn't join them after that, because I had a really bad experience. For the most part it was all fun and games, hanging out with them and doing rebellious shit. I think I grew up a little bit more and they just kept getting in trouble and not doing well in school. I ended up stopping hanging out with them towards the end of high school."
"I have this tendency to resent people for having normal lives. I have a roommate and she has a very typical nuclear family. Her mom and her dad have been together forever, she has a brother. They're all happy and functional. That just has not been my case at all. For my whole life.
For as long as I can remember I've always resented people who have normal lives. I feel like the past three years of my life have just been so ridiculously difficult, no one should have to go through the amount of things that I've gone through in the last three years in their entire life. So, I end up resenting people, because I feel like I shouldn't have had to have gone through the things that I have. They haven't gone through anything.
I just end up feeling guilty, because I don't want to judge people for their lives. I don't wish the things I've been through on anyone. I would never do that. I'm glad that no one has been through those things. It's hard, because whenever I try to talk to people that have a normal life they just don't understand. It's very strange.
It basically started three or four years ago when I had a really abusive relationship. He was manipulative and horribly abusive and ended up cheating on me. I dumped him after that and he started stalking me. I had to get a restraining order, because he broke into my house. It was this whole ordeal. I was so young, I was seventeen. I just got plunged into adulthood. Dealing with court stuff and trying to be safe. After that I just started having regular panic attacks. I still struggle with an anxiety disorder even now, years later. It's just so frustrating. I never asked for any of that.
I met somebody else who is a lot better for me. Things were going really well, but more recently his dad overdosed and died. I was on the phone with him when it happened. That was another trigger for my panic attacks to come back. It's just been ongoing ever since."

Mad River Local Schools launches neighborhood bridges
Area school first to start nonprofit to help students, families in need
LOCAL NEWSBy Nick BlizzardSept 20, 2022Mad River Local Schools to launch Neighborhood Bridges Mad River.
RIVERSIDE — Mad River Local Schools will become the first Miami Valley district starting a collaborative nonprofit seeking to connect children and families in need with community resources, the district announced.
Neighborhood Bridges Mad River, which launches today, allows subscribers to donate to provide for students in need, officials said.
Community members can donate to meet the needs posted on a website, which will be facilitated by Area Director Brittany Heckman, a mother of two boys in the district and a volunteer, according to the district.
"By partnering with neighborhood bridges, Mad River Local Schools will have the tools to engage our entire community to come together to meet the needs of students and families that are experiencing challenges," Superintendent Chad Wyen said in the announcement.
Neighborhood Bridges, founded in Ohio in 2017 by Rick Bannister, aims to bridge communities with schools in providing basic needs, removing barriers and seeking equity for students, according to its website.
It has engaged its 38 communities in Ohio, Alabama, and Tennessee in driving solutions and impacting more than 260,000 students since its launch on Martin Luther King Day in 2017, according to Mad River officials. School district counselors, administrators and appointed representatives of service organizations will post needs on behalf of students and families, according to the district.
Needs are shared via email once a day but only when a new need is posted and recipients remain anonymous.
The group will work with stakeholders in the community to engage resources to help drive support and care to students and neighbors in need. Typical needs include clothing, shoes, coats, school supplies, school fees, furniture, household items and monetary donations for medical or household expenses, district officials said.
All donations get directed to Mad River students and their families, according to the announcement.
Families, community members, and businesses can follow needs in the community by subscribing to email updates on the webpage at www.neighborhoodbridges.org/community/madriver-oh.

Vitesco to hit the stock market in the second half of 2021
autonomousBEVContinentalelectric drive systemsShanghaistock marketTianjinVitesco Technologies
The supervisory board of Continental AG has approved the planned spin-off of the powertrain division Vitesco Technologies with a subsequent listing on the stock exchange. In addition, Vitesco has moved into a new regional headquarters in China.
Continental had postponed the plans for the spinoff indefinitely last year. The reason given in May 2020 was the coronavirus pandemic and the continuing economic uncertainties associated with it. The intention was to take this step "as soon as the market environment for this has noticeably improved and strengthened".
That is apparently the case now, at least that is how the supervisory board sees it. However, the shareholders still have to give their consent, which is to be done at the annual general meeting on 29 April 2021. Once approval is given, the company aims to spin off Vitesco Technologies in the second half of 2021.
"If the shareholders agree, we will turn one global champion into two in the future – each in their own area," says Supervisory Board Chairman Wolfgang Reitzle. "Vitesco Technologies is a trailblazer in the field of powertrain electrification, and Continental is a pioneer for connected, safe and sustainable mobility."
As part of the strategic realignment, not only will Vitesco be listed on the stock exchange, but on 1 January 2022 the areas for systems for driver assistance and automated driving will be bundled as an independent business unit "Autonomous Driving". "The autonomous mobility market will more than double in the next three years," says Conti CEO Nikolai Setzer. "Owing to the strategic significance of the necessary technologies and their promising growth prospects, we are intensifying our focus here by creating new structures to research, develop and industrialize these technologies."
Meanwhile, Vitesco Technologies has opened its new headquarters in Shanghai. Around 450 employees have moved into their new 6,000 square metre offices in Yangpu District in the past few days. The opening and recognition as a regional headquarters was preceded by certification by the Shanghai Commission of Commerce.
"The Chinese market remains essential for the further development of e-mobility and thus also for Vitesco Technologies. With the new regional headquarters, we now have a firm foothold there to drive forward the mobility of the future hand-in-hand with strong partners in the market," says Andreas Wolf, CEO of Vitesco Technologies.
Vitesco Technologies operates several production, research and development sites in China. The opening of the new research and development centre in Tianjin is planned before the end of the year.

In 2007, Barton Swaim was an underemployed English Ph.D., shelving books at a university library in South Carolina, when he read a newspaper op-ed by his governor, Mark Sanford. Sanford's article began with a head-slapping analogy between the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the state budget process. Swaim promptly sent Sanford his resume and a cover letter that read, "I don't know that much about state politics, but I know how to write, and you need a writer."
Sanford hired him a few weeks later.
As Swaim recounts in his new book, The Speechwriter, the nearly four years he'd spend working for Sanford were among the most miserable of his life—and not just because Sanford suffered one of the most epic crash-and-burns in recent American political history. In the summer of 2009, amidst talk of a likely presidential campaign, Sanford disappeared for several days. A staffer told the press he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail; in reality, the then-married father of four was visiting his mistress in Argentina. Even before Sanford lost his way on the Appalachian Trail, Swaim says he was a horrible boss. According to Swaim, he yelled and tossed newspapers at staffers; in one memorable instance he even filched a slice of one of their birthday cakes without so much as uttering a "happy birthday." "Being belittled was part of the job," Swaim writes. "The governor wasn't trying to hurt you. For him to try to hurt you would have required him to acknowledge your significance."
And yet, Sanford's indifference only drove Swaim and his colleagues to work harder for him. "[T]here was something indecent in the way some of us strove, like prisoners in a gulag, to become useful to the master," Swaim writes. In the wake of Sanford's adultery scandal, those tasks became even more demeaning. Swaim was charged with flyspecking all of the governor's form letters to remove the word "integrity." "One minute you worked for a popular and energetic politician, one whose name was frequently mentioned (however tenuously) among those of other presidential contenders," Swaim recounts, "and the next you worked for a blubbering emotional wreck of a man."
I noticed that you never actually use Sanford's name—you refer to him only as "the governor of a southern state"—and that you changed the names of coworkers and others. Did you have any ethical qualms about writing this book?
I didn't. Not using Sanford's name was my way of saying this book isn't about Mark Sanford—it's about me and what I learned during a brief time in politics. I also avoided using his name, and the names of my former colleagues, as a way to somehow universalize the story. I didn't want this to be just a funny story about what happened in South Carolina circa 2009. I did want it to be that, but I wanted to be more than that. The pseudonyms were just a means to that end I guess.
What do you think of "tell-all" political books, whether it's Scott McClellan's or Bob Gates's?
I hate them. It's my nightmare to have written a book like McClellan's. I don't think I've done that in this book, and I hope my readers won't think so.
Did you send Sanford galleys? Have you heard from him?
I didn't and haven't. Maybe I should have sent him one, but he told a reporter he didn't plan on reading it, so maybe not.
Would you have written such a warts-and-all portrayal of Sanford if he hadn't already crashed and burned? In other words, if he was still being talked about as a potential veep or potential presidential candidate, would you have been less inclined to write this book, for fear of torpedoing his career? Or would you feel like the book was even more necessary?
First let me say: A lot of warts got left out of this one. But I see what you mean, and the answer is yeah, I would have written it in any case. Almost as soon as I went to work for the governor, I knew I'd have to write about the experience at some point. I mean, you had all the absurdity and vanity of politics. You had a charming and courageous politician who's an absolute beast to his staff. And you had dumb flack like me, who thought I'd been hired to write well when in fact I'd been hired to write badly. It was all there, except the narrative arc you need to make a book work. Then one day this crazy scandal happened. And well, there was your narrative arc.
There's a school of thought among journalists that the shrinking number of reporters covering statehouses is a grave threat to democracy. But you lament that, when you worked for Sanford, South Carolina statehouse reporters were so unrelenting in their questions that "the necessity of having to manufacture so many views on so many subjects, day after day, fosters a sense that you don't have to believe your own words." Do you think politicians would be less insincere—and political language would be more meaningful—if reporters laid off a bit?
The shortage of reporters covering state issues is real, and I agree that it's a threat, but the few reporters left to cover the governor and the legislature have to spend most of their time and energy covering "breaking" news and too little on investigative pieces that shake up everybody's assumptions. There's too much stress on covering something first, and too little on covering it well. That's not the reporters' fault, in most cases—they have to do what their bosses want, and their bosses want speed. I think that helps to explain why so many reporters just wanted statements from the governor. They just needed a response, a reaction, to get it up on the website and into the next day's story.
You write that "one of the melancholy facts of political life is that your convictions tend to align with your paycheck." If Sanford hadn't gone for his hike on the Appalachian Trail and had instead made it to the White House, would you have wanted to go with him? Or would you have eventually quit—either because the job was too corrosive or because you thought he'd be a bad president?
I wanted to get out of there long before the end of the administration. I don't know why I never could—maybe I didn't try hard enough or ask the right people—but I would have split if I could have. I would not have gone with him anywhere else. I do think he'd have been a bad president—too much of a micromanager—but I wouldn't have been close by to watch it happen.
As for the job being corrosive, that part didn't bother me. I guess every job involves some ethically slippery areas, and politics has a fair number. But you learn to do the best you can, and you don't have to give in to dishonesty if you don't want to. The hard part for a lot of political staffers is admitting to themselves when they've stopped working for the principles they believe in and started working for one politician's career goals. That takes some honest self-analysis.
At one point, one of Sanford's longtime aides tells you that your boss "is a terrible person" but that he's no different from every other governor, that "[a]t this level, they're all self-aggrandizing bastards." Do you think 50 other gubernatorial speechwriters could have written essentially the same book?
I don't know. I do think that, while most politicians are less brutal to their staffers than Sanford was, at some level they're all—or almost all—self-promoters. They have to be. That doesn't mean they don't deserve respect and admiration when they do things worthy of respect and admiration. It just means we have to get serious about what sort of person runs for office. Anyhow, there's nothing we can do to change the system—nothing we can do, I mean, to somehow encourage non-self-promoters to run for office. It's the nature of a democracy like ours. Self-aggrandizing is the nature of it. You win elections by aggrandizing self.
Given that, what does it say about the people who do run for office?
A lot of them are decent people. Certainly they're industrious and hard-working. But are they good? I think we have to learn to admire politicians without ever trusting them. I'm guilty—I'm still guilty—of failing to strike that balance in my own thinking. Maybe we've given politicians too much power over our lives—expected them to solve unsolvable problems. That's a form of trust. But trustworthy people don't beg you to trust them; they don't spend truckloads of money in an effort to persuade people to trust them. They just don't.
One of the things you most disliked about working for Sanford is that he was such a terrible writer—and that he expected you to be a terrible writer, too. Putting aside politics, when you see speeches like the one Obama gave in Charleston—or read about the way he works with his speechwriters—do you ever wish you could work for a politician like him? Or do you think writing speeches for any politician is ultimately soul-crushing work?
No, it's not soul-crushing. Lots of politicians work well with their writers. The guy I worked for didn't and couldn't, and it wasn't just his speechwriter he couldn't work well with—it was all of us: the attorneys, the agency heads, everybody. Speechwriting ought to be a collaborative work that involves a combination of clear direction and an ability to see that sometimes the writer you hired might actually know how to write better than you do. That's why you hired him, right? The governor I worked for never had that ability. Not a good trait in somebody who wants to lead, I'd say.

The Grampians are located 260km northwest of Melbourne. The mountainous national park of rugged beauty stretches from Dunkeld in the south to Halls Gap and beyond in the north. Driving north through the centre of the park is beautifully scenic, the main attractions being in the northern section.
North of Dunkeld is Mt Sturgeon and Mt Abrupt. These mountain ranges offer walking trails to their summits suitable for the fit and energetic only. Both walks are graded difficult with steep gradients and are 7km return. The panoramic views from the top are undoubtedly impressive.
In the northern end of the park is Halls Gap, the main township in The Grampians tucked away between Mt Difficult and Mt William Ranges and a good place to base camp and visit the nearby waterfalls and lookouts. There are several caravan parks located at Halls Gap. Pet owners note that the town is on the outskirts of the park boundary and dogs are permitted at the Grampians Gardens Tourist Park.
Silver Band Falls is situated just south of Halls Gap on Silver Band Rd. An easy 1km walk reaches the intriguing falls which tumble down the cliff face and disappear into a pile of rocks and boulders and emerge further downstream. It's amazing there isn't a plunge pool at all beneath the falls, the water travelling underground to downstream.
The other main attractions are accessible via Mt Victory Rd, west of town. Turn right to Boroka Lookout which offers magnificent panoramic views over the Wonderland and Mt William Ranges, Halls Gap, several lakes and surrounding fertile plains. The lookout is located near the carpark.
Turn left off the main road to Reed Lookout which boasts more mountain and valley views from the carpark and an easy 1km walk through bushland finds The Balconies. Protruding rock ledges from the cliff face make an interesting formation with ranges and Lake Wartook as a picturesque backdrop. Standing on the balcony is not recommended as the ledge could give way at any time.
Further on turn right off Mt Victory Rd to MacKenzie Falls. An easy 600m walk takes you to a stairway descending past the top pool to the bottom of the falls. The views of the wide falls gushing over the cliff face are spectacular.
Northwest of the falls is Zumstein, a historic settlement site dating back to the 1900's. You can take a walk and explore the ruins, read the history and cross the MacKenzie River.
Camping is permitted in designated areas within the national park, however not at any of the main attractions. Call into the Dunkeld or Halls Gap Visitor Centre for a park map and further information on bush camping sites.
The Grampians is a pleasantly scenic national park with striking mountain ranges, sweeping valleys and majestic waterfalls. The central tourist drive and main attractions can easily be done in half a day, however if time permits it's a beautiful park to stay longer and appreciate.


Halloween is just around the corner and for one night every year, ghosts, ghouls, zombies and witches roam our streets, knocking on people's doors and demanding treats.
It's all in the name of fun… but with a few scares thrown in for good measure.
The fear of spiders, arachnophobia is one of the most common specific phobias. Most people suffering from arachnophobia will go to great lengths to avoid spiders.
Ophidiophobia or ophiophobia is a particular type of specific phobia, the abnormal fear of snakes. It is sometimes called by a more general term, herpetophobia, fear of reptiles and/or amphibians.
The fear of darkness. This phobia is also known by other names, including nyctophobia and scotophobia, and it is common in both children and adults. People who are afraid of the dark will often insist on sleeping with a nightlight on, and avoid walking around at night.
Astraphobia, also known as astrapophobia, brontophobia, keraunophobia, or tonitrophobia is an abnormal fear of thunder and lightning, a type of specific phobia. It is a treatable phobia that both humans and animals can develop.
Blood phobia (also AE: hemophobia or BE: haemophobia) is the extreme and irrational fear of blood, a type of specific phobia. Severe cases of this fear can cause physical reactions that are uncommon in most other fears, specifically vasovagal syncope (fainting).
Selenophobia (from the Greek word seleno, meaning "moon"), also known as lunaphobia (from the Latin word luna, meaning "moon") is the fear of the moon, moonlight, or even darkness on a moonless night. Like many other phobias,selenophobia originates from painful experiences during childhood.
Phasmophobia- ghosts, Wiccaphobia- fear of witches, Kinemortophobia - fear of Zombies - the list is endless!
Lachanophobia is an unwarranted or an irrational fear of vegetables. The word originates from Greek Lachno meaning vegetables and Phobos meaning fear or aversion. ... While the fear of vegetables is one of the strangest fearsin the world; for people suffering from it, it is no laughing matter.


You might think by the title of this message that showing your love to each other extravagantly would involve spending a lot of money on each other - that it would involve taking an expensive vacation or buying expensive gifts for each other. Although loving extravagantly COULD involve those things, it could mean something much different. Loving each other extravagantly involves showing your love to your partner in a lavish way - beyond what comes normal - spending more of YOURSELF rather than money on your spouse. It involves showing "Random acts of kindness" and thanks-LIVING, and showing random acts of romancing to each other.
You see, too often when we marry we start to take each other for granted. We don't even realize it's happening to us. It starts to happen without us even noticing that it is - very subtly. The problem is, we become so familiar with each other, day in and day out, that we gradually forget to continue to do things for each other which will KEEP the "spark" in our relationship - and that can lead to marriage problems.
Doing little things that show favor and affection, displaying and saying our appreciation for one another and treating each other in respectful ways - being "intentional" in how we show our love are a part of the attraction we had to each other in the first place & will help to keep our marriages vital. It feels good to be noticed and appreciated by someone else. We too often forget that and start expecting things to be done, leaving aside common courtesies and appreciation for each other. Eventually our partner can feel no more appreciated than a piece of functional furniture.
When our love was new we didn't expect things to be done for us by the other person. We noticed every little action they did and showed our appreciation. But after marriage, because of the busyness of every day life and the work it takes to maintain a home, jobs, and family, we can forget our partner still has an inner need to be appreciated, respected, and honored by someone - someone special that will take notice of the little things they do. That someone special used to be us (and hopefully still is)! But some partners find themselves yearning to feel appreciated.
Some spouses faithfully, yet sadly, live with that yearning for the rest of their lives if their partner doesn't change their actions. But some become attracted to someone else outside their marriage for that very reason. (This doesn't justify their sinful behavior but it explains what happens in a lot of unfaithful marriages.) You see, the other person notices those nice little things that are done for them. Of course, to them those niceties are all new and unexpected, so they'll naturally notice it more than the tempted spouse. As they notice the "niceties" and find ways to honor them and express their thankfulness, the unappreciated spouse begins to feel better about themselves again and sometimes begins to feel an unexpected spark inside - an attraction, because they're no longer being taken for granted. Tragically some people act upon that attraction and that's when marriages are most threatened by infidelity.
With that said, we still want to make the point that "even if we have an unbending commitment to our mate, most of us are blind to how we lose our marriages by slow erosion if we don't keep replenishing the soil." (William Doherty) We need to be aware of importance of continuing to show our spouse they're appreciated no matter how long we've been married.
1. Marriage Relationships are Dynamic - They're alive and always changing. They need to be fed and stimulated to stay alive.
2. There's Always Something New About Your Spouse - Dating is a good way to create a safe environment. Your spouse is more likely to let you know what's new!"
3. Invest in the Future - Just like a savings account � it's easier to add a little to an existing account and watch it grow than to start a new one from scratch. That's because the interest grows exponentially over time.
5. Marriage Can Be Compared to a Set of Tires - During the course of driving, there's normal wear and tear. Dating serves to maintain alignment, balance, and pressure. When done well, your marriage will last a lifetime.
6. Dating is an Opportunity to Focus - Day in and day out, various distractions, pull your attention away from your spouse. Dating each other helps you to refocus on the person at the top of your priority list.
7. Remember the Good Time - A good date will often bring up pre-marriage memories. Recalling memories can generate anticipation for your next meeting.
8. Create Your Future - Dating lays the framework for future family gatherings. Great dates attract your spouse and family to want to spend time with you.
9. Laughter's The Best Medicine - Laughing together makes it possible to hurt together when you must.
10. Remind Your Spouse, "I Love You!" - There are many ways to say, "I love you!" A date is one of the special ways to do that and to honor your spouse.
Have you ever experienced this in your marriage: Your husband gets excited when he gets the time to work on his car, or on the landscaping in your back yard, or on his "latest" hobby? But when you want him to pay attention to you he is slow to the call or seems to think up excuses about other stuff he needs to do? Just how do you get your husband to think of you as his "latest" hobby!
If the romance is dead or dying in your marriage learn the next three principles to help you revive some of the intimacy in or out of the bedroom. If you understand the implications and follow the three principles listed below it will be easier to "get the motor of your romance running again..." and your heart and mind will be in the right place with your spouse.
The perspective of romance and sexual intimacy in the Marriage is dependant on three things.
1. Be intimate only with your spouse.
If you share more emotional or physical intimacy with anyone other than your spouse, for any reason whatsoever, you are defying God's Word and breaking trust with your spouse. Breaking trust, even if your spouse doesn't see it, can be devastating. Never break this trust.
2. Pay attention to your spouse's intimacy needs.
The Bible says, 1 Corinthians 7:5, "Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer." God wants you to be with your spouse. To not do so also defies God's Word in a significant way. God created your union so that you would give pleasure to one another.
3. But what if your spouse just doesn't pay attention?
Some professionals suggest changing your lifestyle to add pizzazz or to accommodate for your marital growth. And some suggest paying attention to yourself first--love yourself first. I recommend putting your spouse before yourself and letting them know that is what you are doing by verbalizing it, by acting it, by understanding why you want to do it. And those actions, words and new perspective will help you improve your romance in the long run...and in the short run!
"Keep courting and dating after you get married" Prov 17:22. It is amazing at the maneuvers of men to woo and to win a woman and the wiles of women to be attractive and appealing to a man. Then too soon after the wedding bells turn into bills the courting stops! It must not. This is the first step to the honey leaking out of the honeymoon.
Remember when you were dating and she said, "Let's run to the mall. I need to get some hair spray" and you jumped to your feet, eager to do her bidding?
Remember the thousands of other things you did to please her just because you loved her and wanted to win her affections? Keep working at winning her affections. It worked then and it will work today.
Remember how you fixed yourself up to be as beautiful as you could and put on some of that come hither and get closer perfume to be attractive to him? Keep it up, it worked and will still work to make him attracted to you.
Have you ever been with a couple when one of them says a "cutting, sarcastic remark" about the other spouse right in front of them, and even YOU'RE embarrassed by it? So often these "barbs" are treated by the one giving them as if they're a joke.
Cindy and I have to confess that there have been times within our own marriage that we've fallen into the trap of "zinging" each other with sarcasm, claiming we're "just kidding". And yet later, as we've "talked out" such incidences we've come to realize that humor that hurts, not only isn't funny to the one it's aimed at, it can cause great damage to the health of one's marital relationship.
Proverbs 26:18-19 (from The Message) says: "People who shrug off deliberate deceptions saying, 'I didn't mean it, I was only joking,' are worse than careless campers who walk away from smoldering campfires." We've experienced the truth of those words all too many times as arguments and hurt feelings flair up causing sometimes pretty serious damage between the jokester and the one at the receiving end of such insensitive and careless humor.
The Bible states that love "ALWAYS PROTECTS" (1 Corinthians 13:7). That doesn't mean love enables, or covers over, or makes secret those things that should be brought to the light. Giving "protecting love" is being very careful and prayerful of when, where, and with whom we share "personal" details of our married life.
To truly love our spouse is to protect them by showing honor and respect for their feelings�not revealing or doing anything that will embarrass or "cut them down". By doing so, we're dishonoring them and showing that we don't value them.
What may seem funny to one may not be funny to the other.
Male and female humor often is very different from one another.
Humor is, as it's perceived and received.
"Have there been times when I was "just kidding" that hurt or embarrassed you by what I said?"
We know that talking about this has made a positive difference in the health of our marriage. We pray that it will be helpful to yours!
"DO NOT LET ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY WHAT IS HELPFUL FOR BUILDING OTHERS UP ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN" (especially our spouse), or as it's worded in the NASB version, may our words "GIVE GRACE TO THOSE WHO HEAR".
God bless you as you pursue living in covenant love with one another.


The character of the Story of a Dress by PODOLYAN has become an independent media-consultant and journalist Yulia MacGaffi, who told her story about successes, strength and about dresses.
It must be said that talking with Yulia about dresses was not so easy, as the girl rarely thinks about the other's view on her. "I have no specific wishes about this" – MacGaffi says. Of course, it's only about visual perception. Follow her words, people intuitively conceive Yulia as appropriate person, who has done something good in her life, has achieved goals and is always ready to help, listen and give some advice.
When talking about true woman, Yulia never limits her by visual characteristics. "True woman in my view is firstly wise person who can listen to others and in occasional situations can accept a compromise. And is not irritable like parrot" – says MacGaffi.

JUNE 17 2020 – LAS VEGAS
EMEA & APAC AWARDS • THE AMERICAS AWARDS
The Americas Awards for Technology In Entertainment
Brought to you by the team behind mondo*dr magazine, the mondo*dr awards were launched in 2017 to recognise and celebrate the best installation projects from around the globe.
Now heading into its fourth year, the event has developed into two versions – EMEA & APAC and The Americas – to service each territory. The former takes place during Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt, while the latter is held during InfoComm, Las Vegas.
There are eight award categories in each region, and another has been added for 2020. The categories so include: Nightclub, Bar & Restaurant, Theatre, Concert Hall, House of Worship, Stadium, Arena, Multipurpose Venue and Parks & Attractions.
Anyone can enter a project… from manufacturers to distributors, installers to lighting designers, architects to acousticians, consultants to venue operators – the project simply needs to be a fixed installation from the entertainment world. Winners will be decided by a panel of independent judges and previous awards winners.
There is no other award ceremony in the industry purely focussed on fixed installation project from the entertainment world, so why not be part of this unique awards competition.
"It was great to see the mondo*dr team in the US connecting with the American market. This will surely help guide the team as they look to replicate their success in the rest of the world markets, here in North America."
Jack Kelly, Group One
We have compiled a list of venue types to cover the many forms of entertainment recognised throughout the world today.
There will be one winner per category for each event, and a new category has been added for 2020.
All categories are available for sponsorship.
"Was a pleasure to be at the first mondo*dr Awards in the US. It was a great event bringing together like minded folks in the industry, and was great to see deserving folks honoured. I hope to see this event grow in future years and expand to a wider audience and number of categories"
Jay Eigenmann, Le Poisson Rouge

One of the cast from Britain's favorite soap has teamed up with a leading UK charity to help in the fight against kidney disease.
EastEnders star Stefan Booth, who plays builder Greg Jessop in the popular BBC One soap, has been made an ambassador for Kidney Research UK, pledging his support to the charity following his personal experiences of the illness.
Stefan is all too familiar with the devastating effects that kidney disease can have on people's lives, having lost his mother, Michèle, to polycystic kidney disease (PKD) just a few weeks ago.
"I've been around kidney disease my whole life and am lucky in the sense that I myself don't suffer from it," explained Stefan. "Watching my mum undergo years of treatment for her condition with no chance of being cured had a huge impact on me growing up, and really shaped my outlook on life.
Stefan's first act as an ambassador for Kidney Research UK has been to launch a tribute fund in memory of his mother, with all money raised going to help the charity fund specific research into PKD.
"She was a force of nature and was fearless in her approach to life, no matter how challenging it could sometimes be. The thought of being able to raise awareness and support for other people in the same situation as her would have given her so much pleasure," he added.
PKD is a genetic form of kidney disease which causes fluid-filled cysts to develop in the kidneys. These cysts gradually replace normal kidney tissue, enlarging the organs and reducing their ability to function properly – eventually causing them to fail altogether.
The fund is made all the more poignant for Stefan by the fact that both his brother and sister are PKD patients.
Pete Storey, Director of Marketing at Kidney Research UK, said: "We're really pleased to have Stefan on board as an ambassador for the charity and only wish it could be under happier circumstances.
"His personal experiences of kidney disease highlight just how terrible the illness can be. What's truly saddening is that his situation is by no means unique, and represents the norm for many families across the country touched by kidney disease.

In between every big moment of this Aga Khan wedding day, you will find something absolutely wonderful. A rumble in a reaction from a riposte, or involuntary stamp to the sharing of an everlasting memory. It may be entwined in the way a moment is recounted for all the guests, infecting the atmosphere of the guests. An early result in anticipation is not unknown. Without any warning, it fills up the lungs and releases starbursts in the brain.
It is laughter. And it is the skeleton, the muscles and tendons of this day. It encompasses everything this couple is about. Their friends, their family, their love for each other, intertwined with laughter. Good times below,.
If you liked this Aga Khan wedding and are planning your own, I'd love to chat with you about your wedding day. Shoot me a message via my contact form, here.


Assemble at Singapore Changi Airport for your flight to Incheon.
Assemble at Singapore Changi Airport for your flight to Incheon. Upon arrival, transfer to hotel for check-in.
Upon arrival, make your way to Jeonggangwon, established to preserve, research, distribute and promote the values and merits of traditional Korean food culture in the world. You will get to learn from a Korean culinary expert and participate in a DIY bibimbap session, and enjoy it for lunch after. After a fulfilling morning, the next stop will be Odaesan National Park. Upon arrival, be mesmerised by the serene beauty of Mt Odaesan, which is one of Korea's most noted mountains known for its spectacular changing scenery each season. In spring, wildflowers bloom brightly to enchant visitors; summer welcomes the verdant hue of green trees shading atmospheric wooden trails; yellow, orange and bright purplish-red foliage creates the perfect autumn backdrop and dazzling snow flowers signal the coming of winter. You will also visit the historic Woljeongsa Temple, which is located in a forested valley east of Mt Odaesan. This humble temple is also the site of Seongbo Museum, displaying artefacts and Buddhist relics from the Goryeo dynasty including a 9-storey octagonal pagoda and a seated stone Buddha.
Rise and shine! Gear up for a morning of experiential fun at Daegwallyeong Skyranch, a vast grazing landscape of rolling and treeless hills that is well preserved and relatively untouched by human intervention, and enjoy a tractor ride and sheep feeding session. Thereafter, take a leisure drive to Gyeongju, a city of unparalleled heritage and culture. Your 1st stop: a visit to Bulguksa Temple, which was designated by UNESCO as a World Cultural Asset. Next, visit Seokguram Grotto, a stone temple crafted from granite that was designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1995.
This morning, stop at a local fruit farm where you can enjoy picking and tasting of seasonal fruits. Later, visit E-World 83 Tower, a landmark of Daegu, which is an 83-storey radio tower with an observatory that offers an incredible view of the city. Thereafter, take an idyllic walk at Juknokwon, a 16,000-square metre bamboo forest with artificial waterfalls, pavilions and traditional Korean structures. Tonight, savour a restorative Korean mushroom steamboat dinner.
Enjoy picking and tasting 1 Korean apple per traveller for tours departing from October to November and 250 grammes of cherry tomatoes per travellers for tours departing from December to March.
This morning, explore tranquil Jeungdo Island, which is the 1st city to be designated a slow city in Asia, by virtue of its unspoiled natural landscape and clean, pristine waters. Get back to basics with a visit to Taepyeong Salt Farm, Korea's largest single salt farm. Experience the wonders of salt therapy at Salt Cave Healing Center, and take a tour around Salt Museum to learn more about the manufacturing process of salt – arguably one of the most underappreciated ingredients in everyday life. Thereafter, visit Jjangttungeo Bridge. Stretching over open waters covering a distance of 470 metres, it is also Korea's 1st sea bridge constructed with wood. Proceed to Jeonju and conclude the day with a better understanding of Korean culture. You will also be able to don the traditional Korean dress and enjoy a stroll through the traditional village in a Hanbok dress-up session. Tonight, savour a restorative Korean ginseng chicken soup dinner.
This morning, embark on an exciting adventure at Uiwang Rail Bike. You will get to try out a stress-free railbike experience along a 4.3-kilometre-long trail which takes about 40 minutes to complete. Besides getting some light exercise, you will also get to enjoy the beautiful lake view. After which, visit Gwangmyeong Cave, an abandoned mine spanning approximately 8 kilometres in length and reaching 275 metres in depth. This cave is different from other caves due to its unique location in the centre of the metropolitan city, thus becoming a top natural attraction for visitors not only from surrounding suburbs, but from the big city as well. The cave was founded for industrial mining mainly to excavate gold used for war supplies but despite its heartbreaking history, it has now been turned successfully into a living museum, exhibiting exotic and mysterious geological materials. This cave is also particularly popular as it was one of the filming sites for the well-known television show "Running Man". Thereafter, visit Bukchon Hanok Village, home to hundreds of traditional courtyard houses known as hanoks that date back to the Joseon dynasty.
This morning, visit Ginseng Monopoly Showroom before making a stop at an Odbo cosmetic shop to stock up on Korean skincare products. Thereafter, visit the majestic Gyeongbok Palace, the largest palace during the Joseon Dynasty. Roam its stately grounds, delve into its stories past and imagine what it might have been like centuries ago. Next, visit Tongin Market. Dating back to June 1941, this was a public market set up for Japanese residents when Korea was under Japanese rule. Now it is a bustling yet traditional market filled with street vendors, restaurants and grocery stores. After that, indulge in a spot of shopping at the stylish and ritzy Myeongdong.
This morning, proceed to Healthy Liver Centre to browse for health products. If time permits, you can do some last-minute shopping at a local provision shop before you transfer to the airport for your flight home.


Join NOW - The Ancient Yoga in its pristine and purest form!
When she told me what Yoga is, I was amazed!
No one explained to me what Yoga is the way she (Shanthi) did today.
Shanthi is offering a beautiful and authentic representation of Yoga in her teacher training. If you want to learn about Yoga from an expert, you need to make this the teacher training you choose.
Shanthi is very knowledgeable and can provide a broader view of what yoga really is, not what the western misrepresentation is. Yoga is more than just the physical. It goes way beyond poses. Shanthi explains that Yoga poses is only a branch of the tree of Yoga. She delves into the whole culture of Yoga. This is Living Yoga, NOT JUST Doing Yoga.
This is also a great class for anyone who would like to learn the fundamentals of Yoga as a way of life. You can learn about everything from breathing to cooking and how to properly say the Sanskrit terms in Yoga with the correct pronunciation. Anyone who is aware of energy, frequency and vibration will appreciate learning this valuable information.
If you sign on to the Yoga teacher training with Shanthi, I am sure that you will be pleased with the additional knowledge that you will have over other Yoga teachers. You will know the whys and hows behind much of what goes on in your classes and be able to offer more to your students.
It was a very holistic and wonderful experience. It showed me Yoga beyond the poses, usually what we associate yoga with. It was explained in great detail not as an instruction. Every Asana was associated with an object. It is a whole new level of thinking. You think you are a different BEING now. It changes the way you do Yoga, the feeling you get afterwards.
The way she has made the syllabus, it is a class that has reached perfection. She has shared some techniques which are gems revealed to us.
In the past I have attended many sessions, but didn't find anything close to this. Basically the teacher knows the subject in so much detail that when she is sharing it with us, we also feel that there are so many layers beneath this.
This is the first time I am taking a Yoga session. I was looking for relaxation, stretching exercises, and being able to exercise without strain on my body. Even after doing these and breathing techniques for 2 - 3 hours, I did not feel stressed or thirsty. I didn't feel exhausted, yet I felt the stretch happening.
I saw Shanthi making a COMPLEX thing so very SIMPLE.
I'm NOT a person who is practicing Yoga, but it fascinated me. I saw her (Shanthi) making a COMPLEX thing so very SIMPLE. I see it being of use to people who want to improve their flexibility, who have other medical problems…develop better range of motion and strengthen themselves. I can see a tremendous Body-Mind-Spirit connection.
There were some eye opening sessions where I was able to get some answers.
During every posture we learned how the stretch happens, how it interacts with the internal organs, how the blood flows, and what benefits it's going to give, which is very important when one does yoga. It is helping me to improve my confidence level.
We were able to relate the poses with real time things and get the positive qualities of them. That helps us to feel that we are part of Earth and how we are interrelated and this actually makes us to understand things in a different way. Every posture actually was very complete.
I think this is the right way to learn Yoga. It does not matter how many poses we do, it matters how much we understand and we do.
Nowadays we hear that Yoga is like aerobics. I came to know a lot about traditional Yoga today. I came looking for flexibility. I learned about breathing exercises and how relaxing they can be.
I feel very happy I took the initiative to attend. I have taken Yoga classes earlier, some in Germany and some in India, but these classes are different. Before I was doing Yoga poses, but I didn't know why. I didn't know the reason or science behind them. These poses I learned before in other Yoga sessions, but I didn't know the use or how to do it perfectly. Now I know.
This training program is just excellent. Shanthi explains the poses so clearly and precisely, that it is like you are having a private class. She shows the correct pose along with the common corrections, that students new to the work may need. Lots of love and care went into making the syllabus for this program ~ a delight to study,learn and grow. Shanthi, I am so grateful for you sharing this authentic program with us !
I've been doing Yoga for the last 10 years. Her teaching style is UNIQUE… The background introduction…and the substance Shanthi gives to each posture, conveyed to me the simplicity, and ease of doing it and why we have to do it. Her message gives…PHYSICAL THERAPY, and MENTAL PEACE, AND HELPS ALL SPHERES OF LIFE. Shanthi's method appeals to the heart!

The U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism has named Assistant Commissioner of Tourism Elizabeth Hansen Watley as the acting director of the new Division of Festivals.
Commissioner of Tourism Joseph Boschulte announced that until a director is identified, Assistant Commissioner Hansen Watley will be responsible for managing and promoting the new division, with her first order of business to launch plans for the upcoming Crucian Christmas Festival – slated for Dec. 4 to Jan. 4.
Boschulte said that with the passage of Legislative Act 8153, the department continues to work with members of the Virgin Islands Legislature and the Office of Management and Budget to secure full funding to staff the Division of Festivals and the Virgin Islands Cultural Heritage Institute within the Department of Tourism.
"As an established music and cultural ambassador of the Virgin Islands, we believe Assistant Commissioner Hansen Watley is well placed to help launch and execute efforts to establish our islands as a world-class destination for cultural celebrations," he said.
The Department of Tourism, which has an oversight role for the financial budget for festivals, has begun the recruitment process to fill positions within the division, all of which will be advertised. These include positions such as assistant directors of festivals, an assistant director of marketing, administrative specialists, accounts payable specialists, as well as a permanent director of festivals and a director of the Cultural Heritage Institute.
The position of festival director will be posted this week, with the aim of having a permanent head in place by Sept. 30.
With her additional responsibilities, Hansen Watley will oversee the running and marketing of all the official events and festivals taking place in the territory.
The Division of Festivals within the Department of Tourism is expected to plan and implement several activities, ranging from organizing events to rolling out an aggressive marketing campaign.
St. Croix-based Shamari Haynes was recently appointed as a special marketing assistant to help Hansen Watley and her team with festival plans.
The U.S. Virgin Islands celebrates three major events: the Crucian Christmas Festival on St. Croix, the Virgin Islands Carnival on St. Thomas and the St. John Festival. Each features beauty pageants, concerts, sporting events and food fairs, all displaying the rich history and cultural heritage of the territory.

Win Tickets to See: Clint Black, Featuring Lisa Hartman Black: Mostly Hits & The Mrs.
On February 5, 2022, Grammy Award winner Clint Black takes the stage at the DMV's newest performance venue, Capital One Hall! Clint performs with not only his singer-actress wife Lisa Hartman Black, but his talented daughter Lily Pearl Black, too!
Check out DullesMoms' interview with Lisa Hartman-Black here.
Enter today to win tickets for 2 to see Clint Black, Featuring Lisa Hartman Black: Mostly Hits & The Mrs.
It has been three decades since the release of Clint Black's groundbreaking debut album, Killin' Time. The genre-altering record cemented the Country music icon as one of the truest traditionalists in the game, and his widespread influence can still be felt in the works of artists today. Now, the seemingly unstoppable legend is heading out on tour with Lisa Hartman Black.
Having earned 22 #1 career singles, nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards (US & Canada), a Grammy Award, numerous CMA, ACM, and American Music Awards, Clint Black has had one of the most storied careers in modern music. However, the Houston-raised musician has undoubtedly come a long way from the Texas nightclub circuit where he first began.
In his latest effort, Out of Sane, Clint Black continues to hold firm in making great music that doesn't fit a mold or conform to current popularity.

This study examined and evaluated several scale factor linearization techniques for a fiber optic rotation rate sensor (FORS). The process of scale factor linearization retrieves rotation rate from an FORS signal. Open and closed loop digital signal processing schemes are evaluated on dynamic range, accuracy, and cost.
The results of these experiments show that open loop schemes require few components but have an inherently low dynamic range of operation. Extending the dynamic range of an open loop system is expensive in additional components. Closed loop systems require more initial components, but have a considerably superior dynamic range. It was concluded that a closed loop scheme would provide the most accuracy over an extended dynamic range at a feasible cost.

Read this article published in Republica . I whole-heartedly agree to the author's views that liberalization is the only way forward if we really want progress. Nepali Congress being the party responsible for limited liberalization during the 1990s could spearhead the process of liberalization in other sectors of the economy as well. Unfortunately, the opposite is happening. It's ominous to see that instead of capitalizing on the benefits brought on by the liberalization, NC's cadres and leaders are clamoring for socialism. All around the world, economic liberalization is lifting millions of people out of dire poverty. Post 1990's India and China after 1980 are prime examples of how economic liberalization benefits the nation as a whole. Even Cuba is reforming its policies to allow more private sector involvement in economy.
The limited economic liberalization of early 1990s has brought many positive changes in our country. Our thriving media sector, banking and finance, educational institutions and the recent surge in telecommunications sector stand as an outcome of liberalization. Contrary to what our left oriented politicians and intellectuals like to think, poverty and inequality aren't outcomes of liberalization but of lack of liberalization.
Had the government privatized Nepal Airlines we wouldn't be facing so much corruption and plunder of resources. Had electricity sector been liberalized we wouldn't be facing world's worst power crisis. Had the education sector not been opened up, we would still be getting pathetic, if any education from state run colleges and universities where the only thing that a student gets to learn is politics.
Critics of liberalization tend to look at the thriving sectors of the economy and conclude that it causes inequality but they forget the fact that it's the lack of liberalization that's causing the inequality. I can't understand how left-oriented individuals could criticize liberalization when right before their face they can see the failure of state run enterprises such as Nepal Oil Corporation, Nepal electricity authority and even Janakpur cigarette factory.
Poor governance and corruption, the major causes of Nepali Congress's fall from grace could have been lessened if it had extended the economic liberalization to remaining sectors of the economy and focused more on better administration of rule of law and justice. NC should realize this before it's too late. A country where almost all political parties are left oriented, it could provide the country with a pragmatic party that learns from examples of other countries and promotes sound economic policies rather than ideology driven defunct policies.
