The Dynamic Neuron, by John Smythies, is an important review and survey of the biochemistry literature on the neurochemical basis of synaptic plasticity. Smythies is the Director of the Division of Neurochemistry, UC San Diego; Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Neurology, Queen Square London; and visiting Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School.
Synaptic plasticity is a dramatic paradigm shift from the days of high school biology. The synapses between neurons and overall neuronal structure were relatively fixed. Learning and other mental processes relied on the existing network by adjusting the threshold and firing rate between the synapses. And within the cell, proteins and other biochemical miscellanea drift around as in a soup managing to serendipitously interact, enabling the cell to function quite nicely. Our current knowledge about synaptic plasticity paints an entirely different picture. A cell from the inside is highly structured and functions more like a collection of coordinated mini-factories that would make a production manager envious. And the synapses are much more frequently replaced, deleted, and built anew. They do not die, like a branch withering on a tree. They are actively dismantled and assembled, enabling new connections and ridding the brain of underused connections.
The book divides itself into chapters relevant to representing the complexity of the biochemical processes underwriting synaptic plasticity. Chapter Two explains the biochemical mechanisms involved in endocytosis and exocytosis. Endocytosis, the process in which a substance gains entry into a cell without passing through the cell membrane, is implicated, among other things, in the growth of spines, desensitization of the receptor, and repair of oxidatively damaged proteins. Exocytosis is the process in which neurotransmitters are released from the cell. Chapter Three, "Special Proteins," focuses on the proteins involved in neuritic growth and in how cells or cell bits adhere to each other and break apart. Chapter Four, aptly titled "Miscellaneous Items," covers the loose odds and ends surrounding the biochemistry of synaptic plasticity. The last chapter, "Pharmacological Implications and Clinical Applications," lays emphasis on schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease with respect to details previously discussed.
The Dynamic Neuron is High Science. It is not for the scientific hobbyists. It is intended for someone actively engaged in biochemistry or neuroscience research wanting a concise review of the current scientific literature on synaptic plasticity. The biochemistry involved is exceedingly complex. Paragraph after paragraph reads like the following passage, haphazardly chosen, from Chapter Two; "[t]he beta adrenergic receptor is rapidly endocytosed whereas the vasopressin receptor is rapidly endocytosed, both by a clathrin-beta-arrestin mechanism." If you found that sentence impenetrable, the book will be too.

Hillsborough drops school reopening plan under state pressure
Under a new plan announced by superintendent Addison Davis, students will learn virtually the week of Aug. 24, with in-person school beginning a week later.
TAMPA — Hillsborough County school officials were up against a deadline.
State officials had instructed them to revise their reopening plan, or lose millions in funding. The School Board's vote to start the year with four weeks of virtual lessons to lessen the chance of coronavirus infections didn't meet state expectations. Plus thousands of teachers and more than 200,000 students were in limbo.
So on Thursday, superintendent Addison Davis announced a new timetable: The school year will begin Aug. 24 with all-virtual instruction. Then, for those who choose it, in-person school will begin a week later.
"Everyone has been frustrated, let's just be very clear," Davis said at a news conference after explaining some of the mechanics of the new arrangement. But, he added, "we're here for children and we're also here to protect the working conditions of adults."
The decision ends weeks of uncertainty, as some in the community pushed for in-person school while others warned that Hillsborough's coronavirus levels made school unsafe.
Davis said he tried to negotiate a middle ground with state officials. He asked if he could open in phases for students with learning disabilities, homeless and migrant children, and schools with a history of poor student test scores.
He was unsuccessful in those attempts. Education commissioner Richard Corcoran's July 6 reopening order called for schools to offer in-person instruction by the end of August. And, as Davis explained it, state officials did not want inconsistency from one district to another.
So the district administration changed its plan. How could Davis do that without scheduling a meeting of the School Board, which then would have had to deliberate in public?
Davis said an attorney advised him the move did not require a vote because the board on July 23 had okayed a plan to reopen in-person schools on Aug. 24. The state approved that plan.
The state never accepted a revised proposal adopted by the board on Aug. 6 to delay physical school openings by four weeks.
As to how Davis made sure the board would not challenge his decision later on: "I had one-on-one conversations with every board member to let them know where we are," Davis said. "Overall, the consensus was, this is what we have to implement, due to the fact of the negative financial impact" of defying the state.
Not all were in agreement. "There were some board members that said they don't approve of what the DOE is doing and they want to be able to make that known," Davis said. A hard no came from board member Tamara Shamburger.
Board member Karen Perez, who has argued against opening campuses, said, "I am so beside myself. Everybody is talking about the whole child. But what about when that child goes to school and gets infected with COVID?"
She said that during her conversation with Davis, she indicated that the state was forcing their hand financially. But she said she would have preferred to meet as a board and cast a dissenting vote.
"He told me the other board members didn't want to have a board meeting," Perez said.
On Facebook, Shamburger posted: "I absolutely do not agree with this and am very disgusted that we are not challenging the bullying by the state."
She added that "the failure to convene a public meeting of the School Board to discuss options, including a lawsuit to challenge the DOE's threatened funding penalty, is utter nonsense and contrary to Democratic Government..... I pray for the health and safety of everyone."
Steve Cona III, a strong supporter of Davis, said, "the time has come to now implement our approved plan and provide a safe and quality educational experience for every student in Hillsborough County. This is our constitutional responsibility."
No one from the board attended Thursday's news conference.
The state has said that for just the first four weeks, Hillsborough would have lost $23 million because students learning virtually would not receive full per-pupil funding under the state's system.
Related: Hillsborough schools could lose $23 million a month for defying state
Other money would be lost because the state, to encourage districts to open in August, offered to maintain the funding levels they enjoyed before the COVID-19 crisis struck in March.
Since then, countless students have left the school system; about 25,000 have not responded to district surveys, Davis said.
He said the total hit could have been as high as $200 million, which, "would bankrupt us financially."
With the opening date issue settled, school officials are now working on schedules for the teachers and tightening protocols related to the coronavirus threat.
Tracye Brown, the district's chief of climate and culture, said the Hillsborough Department of Health is hiring eight teams of contact tracers who will work with school officials when there is a COVID-19 diagnosis.
To prepare for the Aug. 24 all-virtual opening, the district is working to make laptop computers available to students who need them. They are calling the first five days a "Smart Start" week.
Attendance will be taken, school officials stressed. But they will spend that time acquainting students to the new routines and the technology many will be using. Even those who have chosen in-person school must be familiar with the computer platforms, as there is every possibility that they will spend part of the school year at home.
Davis said he explained as much to the board members during their one-on-one discussions.
"I was very clear with all of them," he said. "We're going to be opening and shutting down, closing, self-quarantining, self-isolating, all that's going to happen."
He might have to close wings of buildings, classrooms and even individual schools. But, he said, "one thing is clear. We will not be closing down on an organizational scale unless the governor comes out and makes that clear."
Davis also said he is anxious to get the schools open. "We've got to get to a point where we're getting back to some sort of normalcy and educate children," he said.

SUNAPEE, NEW HAMPSHIRE – August 17 and 18 marked very special days in scenic Sunapee, New Hampshire, for it was the second annual "History Day" in the little lakeside town that gave the music world Aerosmith. Featuring Steven Tyler on vocals, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass and Joey Kramer on drums, most music fans recognize Boston (with good reason) as being the hometown of arguably the greatest American rock band in the land.
However, it was in Sunapee in the summer of 1969, when Steven Tyler first met Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton and saw them perform onstage. Not long after they formed Aerosmith, which has since gone on to sell more than 150 million albums in a nearly 50-year career, and elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
Sunapee has always held Aerosmith dear to its heart and why not, for the town and surrounding area is littered with landmarks that are now legendary within the history of the band – including The Barn, where Tyler first saw Perry play guitar and The Anchorage, the little restaurant/ice cream shop where Joe was washing dishes when the duo first chatted about forming a band.
Enter Sunapee resident Jonathan Robinson, an Aerosmith fan, historian and archivist who owns an archive service. Robinson discovered the band early on and has been a big fan for nearly his life, and in fact, also happens to possess one of the largest collections of Aerosmith paper memorabilia (newspaper articles, magazines) in the world. "My first Aerosmith concert was at the Springfield (Massachusetts) Civic Center in April of 1975, two weeks into the Toys In The Attic tour," Robinson said in a recent Standing Room Only interview. "I was 15-years-old, in the front row and hooked!
Robinson organized the inaugural Aerosmith celebration last summer, which was held at the Sunapee Historical Society Museum. "My Sunapee connection originally came about because, although I lived in Amherst, Ma., my grandfather was a dentist in nearby Claremont, New Hampshire and he bought our place on Lake Sunapee in 1952. After summering there as a kid, I moved to Sunapee full-time in the 80s.
The word spread pretty quickly not only locally, but among other Aero-collectors as well. All of a sudden more people started contacting Jonathan about getting involved... and some pretty prominent names at that, including Aerosmith founding member and guitarist, Raymond Tabano (pre-Brad Whitford), Annie Perry, sister of famed guitarist Joe Perry, and Pudge Scott, a drummer in a few of Perry and Hamilton's pre-Aerosmith groups including Plastic Glass and The Jam Band.
David 'Pudge" Scott: "My hats off to Jonathan Robinson and all the exhibitors. It was an honor to be included as an honored guest. It was a great event featuring a lot of Aerosmith history."
Fast forward to this year's festivities, and after an overflow of Aero-fans had come to the inaugural exhibit held at the aforementioned Sunapee Historical Society Museum the second was held at The Livery building (Sunapee's former town hall) on Main Street, which allowed for more exhibitors, and visitors.
Deb Formica: "I attended last year and spoke to Jonathan, telling him about my collection and to contact me in the event they did it all again. I've been a serious collector for over 30 years, getting hooked after I got my first photo signed by Steven Tyler. I was thrilled to be an exhibitor this time around.
Rob Phaneuf owns an amazing collection, including nearly every Aerosmith 45-single picture sleeve (minus two) that is known, as well as vintage posters, tour books and rare vinyl. He also collects other bands and has extensive collections on Cheap Trick, UFO, Led Zeppelin, Free and Bad Company. "I went last year as an observer, met Jonathan, Mark, Rich and all the exhibitors and had a great time. So, I decided to become an exhibitor this year and displayed my picture sleeve collection, tour books, vintage posters and some other items. It was a great time and I was happy to be a part of it all."

NLP A To Z
Hellinger, Bert - (b. 1925) A German psychologist who has become quite well-known in Europe and is becoming well-known in America for his practice and books (perhaps the best-known being Love's Hidden Symmetry), about Family Inheritance or Constellations. He has shown a remarkable correlation between otherwise unexplained behaviors and related events from one's family's past. For instance, a fellow who has been in two serious motorcycle accidents, and continues to ride his motorcycle dangerously, turns out to have a grandfather who died falling off a horse. Without some therapy, it is quite likely this motorcyclist will not have fulfilled his family obligation until that motorcycle gets him killed. The most appropriate therapy is probably Bert Hellinger's Family Constellation technique, in which strangers are picked from a general audience of perhaps 30 to 40 people to represent the subject's family members. With guidance, these representatives act in whatever they feel motivated, even though they have little or absolutely no knowledge of who they are representing. From their positions and their reports of their emotions, the subject is usually quite astounded to discover many ways in which they truly do represent the relatives. The subject is given a lot of freedom to come up with her own meaning, and remarkable healings can happen.
The Wikipedia article on Bert Hellinger
Hypnosis - "For him [Milton H. Erickson, the world's leading authority on hypnosis], hypnosis was a state of heightened awareness with increased suggestibility, an altered state allowing communication with the unconscious. Heightened awareness is probably the most important part of a trance state, because the subject is then able to focus more effectively on his or her self and goal. I'm sure some who read this will quarrel with my definition of how Dad saw hypnosis, but that's how he defined it to me and how I think he understood it." - Betty Alice Erickson, hypnotherapist, daughter of Milton Erickson, and co-author of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. An American Healer. Source-11
Hypnotherapy - A system in which a therapist, generally a psychologist, psychologist or someone specifically certified in hypnotherapy assists a client with positive personal change using hypnosis to access the other-than-conscious mind. Hypnosis starts with an induction in which the subject is put voluntarily into a relaxed, receptive state.
Hypnotic suggestion - Speaking with a person's other-than-conscious self without a formal hypnotic trance. A classic example would be: "Don't do x." - in which the mind doesn't generally hear the 'don't' part, and therefore focuses on 'do x.'
Hypnotic Trance - A state in which the activity of the conscious mind is reduced or overwhelmed, and the other-than-conscious mind is more accessible for communication.
Hypnotism - refers to the whole scope of trance induction from therapeutic to entertainment purposes. One can say a hypnotherapist uses hypnotism. One can say a stage performer who hypnotizes a volunteer to amuse the audience is using hypnotism. Both are legitimate in their fields. However, hypnotherapists often dislike the stage hypnotists because it makes their work more difficult. The hypnotherapist often has to 'uneducate' the subject, who after seeing a stage or television show may be concerned about losing control.

Coronavirus: 4 takeaways in Buncombe, Asheville on June 30
Mackenzie Wicker
ASHEVILLE - Community spread of COVID-19 has increased in Buncombe County.
This comes as more businesses in the county reopen and people spend more time in close contact with others outside of their household, local health officials said in a June 29 release.
As of 5 p.m. June 29, there had been 572 lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Buncombe residents, including 39 deaths. In isolation were 109 people.

Here are four takeaways on the coronavirus pandemic from the Buncombe County Health and Human Services' release:
Interim health director encourages 'low-key' July 4 plans
Buncombe's top health official, interim Public Health director Dr. Jennifer Mullendore urges locals to be cautious and stay out of large gatherings as the July 4 weekend approaches.
"The cases are rising," Mullendore said in the release. "As the July 4th holiday is upon us, we are concerned that cases will increase as a result. We all really need to make plans to be low-key over the holiday weekend. If you must be around others, wear a face covering and ask that those around you wear a face covering."
More:Coronavirus: NC Gov. Cooper extends Phase 2 through July 17, requires face coverings
Mullendore recommended spending time outside as much as possible and maintaining 6 feet of distance from others.
"Don't share food, hugs, or dances this holiday weekend," she said. "We have to remember that this is a global pandemic with no clear no end in sight and these small sacrifices can make the difference in our community's ability to weather the storm.
"While there are many unknowns facing our community right now, we know that there is a better chance that we can succeed if the majority of people reduce contact with others and wear face coverings as much as possible."

There's a risk of overwhelming the health care system in July
As the impact of COVID-19 continues to worsen in the nation and the state, Buncombe's health officials said "there remains the potential that cases will overwhelm our health care system in July."
It is also possible the state may have to revert to a "Phase 1 type order to control more effectively the spread of infection," they said.
"Everyone needs to work together and follow public health guidance to prevent this from happening," the BCHHS release said.
More people are wearing masks following Gov. Cooper's order
Health department officials said that, anecdotally, they are seeing "more people outside wearing masks" following a statewide face covering mandate issued by Gov. Roy Cooper that went into effect at 5 p.m. June 26.
More:NC Gov. Cooper extends Phase 2 through July 17, requires face coverings
"Masks are how we get through this," the officials said in the release. "Wearing a mask helps to stop the spread of COVID-19 which is what is needed to save lives and further reopen our economy."
Buncombe's permanent test sites begin work
June 30 marked the first day of the permanent, free COVID-19 testing sites offered over the next 10 weeks through a partnership between Buncombe County and Western North Carolina Community Health Center.
There is no out-of-pocket cost for the testing, but those with insurance should bring their card for billing purposes. There will be language services on-site.
The COVID-19 Community Testing schedule is as follows:
East Buncombe
2217 US 70, Swannanoa (Ingles Parking Lot)
Every Tuesday, beginning June 30
Testing will be 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Early testing hours for staff of long term and congregate care facilities will be offered 9:30-10:30 a.m.
South West Buncombe
58 Apac Drive, Asheville (Buncombe County Sports Park)
Every Thursday, beginning July 2
Central Buncombe
A-B Tech, Genevieve Circle, Asheville (Allied Health Parking Lot)
Every Sunday, beginning July 5
Testing will be 1:30-5:30 p.m.

Виявля́ч ко́нтурів Дері́ша () — це оператор виявляння контурів, розроблений  1987 року. Це багатокроковий алгоритм, який використовують для отримання оптимального результату виявляння контурів на дискретному двовимірному зображенні. Цей алгоритм ґрунтується на праці , пов'язаній з виявлянням контурів (виявляч контурів Кенні), та його критеріях оптимального виявляння контурів:

 Якість виявляння — всі наявні контури повинно бути позначено, і не повинно ставатися хибного виявляння.
 Точність — позначені контури повинні бути якомога ближче до контурів на реальному зображенні.
 Однозначність — заданий контур на зображенні повинно бути позначено лише один раз. Не повинно ставатися кількох відгуків на один контур на реальному зображенні.

З цієї причини цей алгоритм часто називають виявлячем Кенні — Деріша.

Відмінності між виявлячами контурів Кенні та Деріша

Виявляч контурів Деріша, подібно до виявляча контурів Кенні, складається з таких 4 кроків:

 Згладжування
 Обчислення величини та напрямку градієнта
 Придушування немаксимумів
 Гістерезисне порогування (з використанням двох порогових значень)

Істотна відмінність полягає у втіленні перших двох кроків алгоритму. На відміну від виявляча контурів Кенні, виявляч контурів Деріша використовує  вигляду

Цей фільтр оптимізує критерії Кенні. Як видно з попередньої формули, найефективніший фільтр виходить при наближенні значення  до 0. Тоді такий фільтр використовує формулу

Перевага такого фільтра полягає в можливості пристосовування до характеристик оброблюваного зображення за допомогою лише одного параметра. Якщо значення α мале (зазвичай між 0,25 та 0,5), це призводить до кращого виявляння. З іншого боку, кращої локалізації досягають, коли параметр має вище значення (близько 2 або 3). Для більшості звичайних випадків рекомендовано значення параметра близько 1.

Використання НІХ-фільтра має сенс особливо у тих випадках, коли оброблюване зображення зашумлене або вимагає великого згладжування (що веде до великого ядра згортки для НІХ-фільтра). У цих випадках виявляч Деріша має значну перевагу над виявлячем Кенні, оскільки він здатний оброблювати зображення за короткий сталий час незалежно від бажаної величини згладжування.

Втілення виявляча Деріша

Процес отримання значення двовимірного фільтра Деріша можливо розділити на дві частини. У першій масив зображення проходять у горизонтальному напрямку зліва вправо за такою формулою:

і справа вліво за формулою:

Результат обчислення відтак зберігають у тимчасовому двовимірному масиві:

Другий крок алгоритму дуже схожий на перший. Як вхід використовують двовимірний масив із попереднього кроку. Його відтак проходять у вертикальному напрямку згори вниз і знизу вгору за такими формулами:

З опису алгоритму випливає, що оброблювані рядки й стовпці незалежні один від одного. Як наслідок, рішення на основі НІХ-фільтра часто використовують у вбудованих системах та архітектурах, які підтримують високий рівень розпаралелювання.

Математичні властивості цього алгоритму часто використовують при практичному втілюванні виявляча Деріша. Достатньо втілити лише одну частину алгоритму, яка потім викликають двічі, виконуючи транспонування результатної матриці.

Multi-Stakeholder Platforms
About the IGAD Regional Multi-Stakeholder Platform – A space for regional dialogues on land governance
Dialogue to IGAD is a way of exploring the roots of the many crises that face humanity today. It enables inquiry into, and understanding of, the sorts of processes that fragment and interfere with real communication. For IGAD, the process of dialogue is more important than ever today for a number of reasons. Firstly, the confrontation between different cultural traditions and worldviews requires some process by which people can communicate across differences. Secondly the fragmentation of society into a myriad of subcultures based on profession, status, race, ethnicity, political loyalty, etc., make it necessary that people find a pathway to common ground and lastly, traditional authority structures are falling away and the emergence and strengthening of formal systems is taking root.
Given the importance of land to economic and social development and to ensuring peace and security, the majority of African governments have embarked on land policy and institutional reforms to address land issues in the context of national development. The key issues that need to be addressed in this context are: securing land rights to improve livelihoods and facilitate economic development; the centrality of urban land delivery and urban land development; natural resource access and sustaining common property resources; property rights and environmental sustainability; equitable land distribution and restoring wasted and alienated land; land and gender issues; and land and conflict; among others.
Land policy needs to secure the rights of all land users and serve the multiple goals of equity, poverty reduction, income growth, economic efficiency and sustainable environmental management. To facilitate land policy formulation and implementation within the framework of the AU Agenda 2063, the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), and New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD).
The need to have efficiently functional land administration systems has never been more apparent given the increasing pressure on land as an engine for growth, the population growth, urbanization, competing land claims and the growth of the land markets in the region. At the center of all these developments are people whose rights and interests must be taken into account.
Einstein is quoted to have said 'No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
Dialogue is the only way for us to come in contact with the 'whole' of which we all are a part. Through dialogue we in the IGAD region are able to foster mutual insight and common purpose in improving land governance.
The regional dialogues create an enabling environment for member states to learn from each other and identify possible areas of collaboration and convergence in taking forward innovations in land governance. Furthermore, the regional dialogues seek to bring civil society and the private sector to interact with the member states and as such creating new pathways for national dialogues to emerge on land governance.
As we move into times of accelerating change and deepening uncertainty in the region and globally, we need to get smart about how to talk to one another as individuals, institutions and Member States. We need to be able to overcome differences, find common ground, build meaning and purpose, and set directions together. We need to be able to think together as groups, as teams, as committees, as communities, and as citizens of the IGAD region.
The IGAD Secretariat, facilitates thematic interactions through these regional dialogues with a view to improving land governance in the IGAD region.

Tee's Blurbs: Beauty Finds: Sun Play!
Protecting our skin from harmful UV rays should be a daily thing, and not just for days on the beach. I try to apply sunblock each and every day but later on skipped it because I didn't want the sticky feeling and smell that sunblock brings. Add that to the humid weather in Singapore and eeek! Plus, I've had unpleasant rashes from previous products that I have tried out. Because I have decided to take better care of my skin while it isn't too late, I have been looking out for the perfect sunscreen to protect me from the sun's harsh rays while not leaving me with greasy/sticky/yucky feeling afterwards.
The long search is over. Introducing... SUNPLAY suncreen!
It comes in many varieties, I have it in Clear Water. With a light-weight and water-based Japanese formula, this is the perfect sunblock. Sunblock, just the way I like it! :D It blends perfectly on my skin so I won't look like I applied product on my skin. No more sticky and greasy and icky feel of sunblock on my skin, even after sweating. Plus, it's mildly scented, non-irritating to my overly-OA nose. Just a few seconds after applying it, I barely notice it's there! It leaves my skin with a translucent, smooth and satin/matte-like feel. I also like that it comes in small bottles that I can just carry around in my bag or take with me whenever I travel.
I hear it's readily available in the grocery and in Watson's and Guardian stores. I got mine from Sasa.

Victoria Chistyakova: Do you plan to be a producer of any band again like you did for CINEMA BIZARRE? By the way, do you keep touch with these guys?
TILO WOLFF: Yes, there are two new band projects I am involved in and within these days you will read about them on my Facebook-page. And yes, I still have loose contact to some of the guys from CINEMA BIZARRE.
Vladimir Chekis: What do you think about perspectives for young bands and musicians on a schwarze szene nowadays? Could you give any professional advice for them?
TILO WOLFF: Talking about advise it of course always depends on the situation and the topic but basically I think the best advise is that an artist needs to do what he or she feels and not what labels or managers tell them to do.
Tatiana Burova : Why did you decide to appear on stage with a guitar during Revolution tour? Will you keep going this?
You have sang «This is the night» in Klaffenbach, however you told early it would be hard to perform this song alive. What has changed?
TILO WOLFF: Nothing has changed. This song still is very, very hard to perform – from a musical perspective and from because of its emotional impact – but there had to be the day when we bring it up on stage and Klaffenbach was the right time and the right place for this.
And talking about the guitar, well, same here, it was the right time. I played so many guitar-parts on this and the previous album so it would have felt strange not to play at least a little from that also on stage.
Alexander Shmeliov: In the past, composers produced their music books, and it is the reason why they are still alive in their music nowadays. Do you have any plans to release a designed book with your printed music?
TILO WOLFF: No. The time it takes to develop such a project I rather spend on creating new music than ruminating what I have done already.
Olga Gubina: Did you have any miracle, mystic or non-explained cases in your life?
TILO WOLFF: Yes! Of course. I believe in God and so many times already he intervened into my life in inexplicable ways! This is more of the real life than what our society tells us what real live would be, like for example news from the stock market which is in real just a bubble of thoughts, hopes and dreams with no measurable worth!
food-industry and would reorganize the ways of production, including animal husbandry, and the ways of distribution into the world. Then I would spend money to governments who are willing to fight against the drug industry in their countries. There are some more projects, that would need to be thought of and in the end I think I would buy myself an old castle in Scotland.
Btw: what did I answer previously?
TILO WOLFF: I am more introvert. Though I like to communicate with people I trust, but I hate it to be forced into communication with people that are not invited into a communication!
Anastasia Surmilova: What do you think about fans who go / fly to another country for your concert/tour? Don't you think that is a kind of insanity?
TILO WOLFF: No. I have also flown already to Rom, Geneva, Paris and other places to see a band or an artist I wanted to hear. If I like their concerts and they don't come to play in my neighborhood I need to travel to places where they play.
Ekaterina Makeeva, Julia Asphodel, Tatiana Burova (yes, the same question from 3 different persons): Why the song "Schakal" was called in that way? And did you have any other options for the name of this song?
I am happy with my clown!

What is Kyokushin Karate?
"Kyokushin" means "Ultimate Truth". Kyokushin Karate was born in the determination for the pursuit of ultimate truth of mind, technique, and body.
Karate was developed over a thousand years ago, not only as a form of unarmed combat, but also as a way to discipline the body in order to strengthen spirit. By practicing Karate, one can increase alertness, self-awareness and self-confidence by conditioning the body.
Kyokushin Karate has been known as "the strongest karate", not only because of the incredible feats of strength and endurance that founder Mas Oyama performed, but also because of the rigorous requirements of the training and tournaments.
The founder of Kyokushin Karate, Mas Oyama, often said that the difference between sports and the Way of Budo is the path of self-discipline. Sports can always be associated with a game in some form or another where people compete for leisure, money, or fame. The Budo Way is never this, since it was developed from harsh-living situations where one must fight for their life in the midst of human suffering and pain— this can either be of the mental or physical kind.
Today, registered membership of Kyokushin Karate exceeds 10 million, and dojo are located at more than 120 countries, making it one of the largest martial arts organizations in the world.
Shihan Taku Nakasaka
Shihan Taku Nakasaka started Kyokushin Karate in his hometown, Sapporo, Japan in 1982. He rapidly gained recognition throughout Sapporo Japan as a Kyokushin fighter, successively claiming several championship titles. He then served as an assistant instructor of the I.K.O. Kyokushinkaikan Dojo in Sapporo, Japan.
He came to the United States in 1990, at the age of 23, and trained vigorously under Sensei Jimmy Nishimura, former Branch Chief of Los Angeles Kyokushin Karate. Under Sensei Nishimura's vigilant leadership and guidance, Shihan Nakasaka was able to claim one of the top positions among the nine fighters chosen to represent the United States in the 6th World Open Karate Tournament in November 1995. Shihan Taku Nakasaka was placed among the best 32 out of 168 world top fighters.
In 1996, Shihan Nakasaka opened his first dojo in the United States. Today he has dojos in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Rosemead, Torrance, Redlands and three in Orange County. Kyokushin Los Angeles has produced 12 World Championship Fighters since 1995 includes Kumite & Kata total of 5 times Womens' Champion Miruyo Ito, 3rd Place Shohei Yamamoto and 4th Place Sota Nakano.
Shihan Taku Nakasaka, in a joint effort with I.K.O. Kyokushinkaikan, hosts U.S. Weight Category (USWC) Championship events in Los Angeles, California, bringing in the top fighters from all over the world.

Oxana Ogiwara is a long term student of Shihan Nakasaka. She assists him with teaching the Redlands class.

MLS trades and transactions
Report: Ethan Finlay to be traded to Minnesota United
The Crew SC winger is heading close to home.
By Pat Murphy@_Pat_Murphy Aug 8, 2017, 8:51pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Report: Ethan Finlay to be traded to Minnesota United
Ethan Finlay, once a scoring machine for Columbus Crew SC, went dry in the goals department over the last two season. Now it seems the winger is set to be traded.
According to FourFourTwo's Paul Tenorio, Finlay will be dealt to Minnesota United in exchange for $300,000 in GAM/TAM.
Initial amount I am hearing is $300k GAM/TAM split over two years, but details still being finalized, per sources.
— Paul Tenorio (@PaulTenorio) August 9, 2017
The Duluth, MN native was drafted by Crew SC with the 10th overall selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft out of Creighton University.
Finlay played sparingly for the Black & Gold over his first two years, just 34 combined appearances and six total starts, but burst onto the scene with a goal in a 3-3 tie on the road against the Portland Timbers in May of 2014.
The third-year player quickly became a mainstay under head coach Gregg Berhalter, scoring 10 more goals and adding seven assists in 29 total games, 21 starts, that season. He followed it up with a career year in 2015, which included 12 goals and 13 assists, helping Columbus to host the MLS Cup Final.
Following the success of the 2015 season, Finlay was called into the U.S. Men's National Team January camp by then head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. He earned three caps for the Red, White and Blue.
But Finlay was unable to retain the form of those two seasons. In 2016, he scored six goals and registered nine assists, losing his starting spot during the year. This season, Finlay scored in the season-opening 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire, but has only contributed one assist since that game.
Berhalter made it clear that he was pleased with Finlay's work rate and willingness to fight for his place when he was not in form. But with the fellow wingers Kekuta Manneh and rookie Niko Hansen on the roster and the addition of Designate Player Pedro Santos on Tuesday, it appears Finlay became expendable.
If Tenorio's numbers are correct, Crew SC are getting back a good return for a player who had likely fallen to third on the depth chart at his position for the Black & Gold.
With this move, Finlay will get to join an MLS expansion side that could use the offense. He will also move closer to home with a change of scenery potentially being exactly what the 27 year old needs to re-spark his career.

Eyes Wide Shut review – chilling secrecy, quaintly soft-porn sex
MoviesNovember 29, 2019
Eyes Wide Shut, now on rerelease, is fascinating, flawed late Stanley Kubrick, his final film before his death in 1999 at the age of 70. It was adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, or Dream Story, published in 1926 and originally set in Vienna. The film is a tale of sexual obsession among modern-day Manhattan's wealthy and powerful classes and I originally valued it for its satirical potency, formal control and dreamlike self-possession, all of which are bound up in a certain kind of deadpan absurdity and soft-porn seriousness.
Tom Cruise plays Bill Harford, a well-off New York doctor with a fashionable clientele and a magnificent apartment in Central Park West, happily married to beautiful Alice (Nicole Kidman) a former art gallery director, now a stay-at-home mum to their young daughter. (In the book, they are Jewish, an important part of the doctor's alienation. Not here.) Unsettled by each other's flirtatious behaviour at a swell party given by a wealthy patient, Victor Ziegler (Sydney Pollack), and by a consumption of champagne and weed, they later have a furious row in which Alice defiantly confesses her lustful thoughts for a certain other man in her past, and Bill then finds himself on a nighttime odyssey, searching for extramarital adventure and gatecrashing a sinister masked orgy, to which he gains admittance by murmuring the (ironic) password "Fidelio".
Ready for anything? Kidman and Cruise. Photograph: Allstar/Warner Bros
This revival comes with a brief documentary short about the film, Never Just a Dream, with interviewees including his longtime collaborator, executive producer and brother-in-law Jan Harlan — but not his widow Christiane, and not his most important collaborator, screenwriter Frederic Raphael. It might be time to reissue Raphael's 1999 memoir of working with Kubrick, Eyes Wide Open, in which Raphael amusingly hints that the tense mood of Cruise's cab ride out to the creepy orgy mansion was inspired by his own minicab journeys from St Albans railway station to the famed seclusion of Kubrick's Hertfordshire country home for script discussions.
The title, Eyes Wide Shut, was Kubrick's, and in my original piece, I wondered whether it related to the idea of imaginary sexual transgression being as potent as real, waking transgressions. In dreams you see and know things clearly, with your eyes wide shut. It's only now that I can see another comparison that was always under my nose: Malcolm McDowell's eyes being clipped wide open in A Clockwork Orange, being forced to watch something horrible. There are other visual echoes, such as the eerie emptiness of the elevator lobbies like those in The Shining – which are part of the film's artificiality and theatricality, mocked a little by the film's denigrators at the time, but a part of the hallucinatory effect. Then there is the party scene at the beginning, like something from The Shining, where Alice meets her predatory Hungarian suitor (Sky du Mont) who could almost be a ghost. Kubrick's use of Stravinsky's Waltz from his Jazz Suite shows his sweet tooth for mainstream classical-music themes, and his predilection for softcore female nudity is a characteristic thought a bit dated in 1999.
Perhaps what we felt was contrived was that orgy scene, although it is disquieting and strange in the Hammer-horror way that originally impressed me. But by 1999, Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho had upped the ante on these ideas of Manhattan super-wealth and depravity, and in comparison, Eyes Wide Shut seemed a tad quaint. Yet now, in the age of Epstein, we can see that it was not so far-fetched to imagine elaborate clubs in which the rich and powerful can disport themselves and exploit the vulnerable. What comes across even more strongly about Eyes Wide Shut now is its chilling emphasis on ruling-class secrecy. This film inspired Jonathan Glazer's Birth (2004), itself underappreciated at the time.
Cruise and Kidman heartfelt and fervent performances (although the flickering black-and-white moments showing her imagined sexual indulgence don't work). There are tears, and Cruise in particular lays himself open in that fiercely committed way that he tries everything as an actor. Did their actual marital disputes resemble what happen in this film? Maybe. They were divorced two years after this came out, with much gossip about whether the film had accentuated their discontents. Pollack's performance as Ziegler is thrillingly cynical and disillusioned.
• Eyes Wide Shut is released in the UK on 29 November.

1483 Online Enters Beta Testing
DAVISON, MI (May 12, 2006) - The Guild of Blades Publishing Group, a market leading board game publisher with its well known Empires of History series of historical board games and other fantasy and role playing games, announces the launch of the 1483 Online beta test. Found at http://www.1483online.com , 1483 Online is a massive multiplayer online (MMO) turn based strategy game of diplomacy and conquest. The 1483 Online beta test is an open beta test, so all gamers around the world are welcome to sign up and play.
In 1483 Online 28 players assume control of one of the leading kingdoms or empires of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, set against the historical backdrop of the year 1483 AD. Players must lead their nation's military to defend their lands and seek to expand the realm, using a combination of war, diplomacy and economic development. 1483 Online is a new style of game focussing on turn based play with rapid games progressing at just one turn per day and
standard free games at just one turn per week. This new form of turn based, MMO gaming allows all players an equal footing on game play time dedicated to a single game and lets the players communicate via the internal communication mail system, freely and equally with other players to conduct diplomatic relations. The game rewards alliance building and shrewd diplomacy coupled with a solid strategic use of military units and resources rather than simply rewarding players
with more time to dedicate to a game, or skill with a mouse.
1483 Online is an online computer game adaptation of the GUild of Blades' popular board game, Europe 1483. First run online in late 1999 as a human moderated "Play By E-mail Game", 1483 Online quickly gathered a small and dedicated fan base of several thousand players. Now with the
fully automated computer game and online gaming experience, the Guild of BLades expects the highly anticipated 1483 Online game to explode onto the MMO gaming scene. They currently have plans to expand this new style of MMO gaming to include other Empires of History board games
converted for online play, plus will expand 1483 Online game maps to go from its current 28 player base up to a full world adaptation of the board game series, allowing for 84 players per game.
The Guild of Blades presently plans to maintain a completely free downloading of the 1483 Online software and allow all players to have access to free game play accounts that will allow players
continual access to a small number of ongoing games. The venture will be supported by Enhanced Memberships offering more game play opportunities and advanced features, display advertising, and the sales of products published by the Guild of Blades Publishing Group. This mix of play options will allow players from all over the world to play with no need of credit cards, checks or other payment options, and allow those players wanting more to buy affordable packages start at just $9.95 annually.
To join the beta test for 1483, visit http://www.1483online.com to create an account.
ABOUT THE GUILD OF BLADES PUBLISHING GROUP:
Founded in 1996, the Guild of Blades Publishing Group began as a small game publishing firm producing inexpensive miniatures and role playing game systems. In 1999 the company expanded into board games, which quickly became the mainstay of its production lines and allowed for the rapid expansion of the company.

Forget Cash! Credit is Key to the Survival of Busking
Australia and New Zealand News and Events
July 22, 2021 July 21, 2021 Media MonitorStreet arts
Electronic and digital payments are the key for buskers and street performers to survive in a post-COVID world, new RMIT research reveals.
Economists at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, economists found passers-by often donated more when paying via a digital platforms like apps, QR codes, PayPal and even Bitcoin, compared to the centuries' old payment method of loose coins.
Using data from the online platform The Busking Project, the study analysed individual payments to over three and half thousand active buskers from 121 countries to predict the characteristics of performers who were more likely to receive online donations.
The study found North America and Europe were home to the most active buskers and audiences on the platform, with buskers registered in the UK and USA having significantly higher prospects of receiving a donations.
The study also found:
Circus performers received the biggest donations;
Musicians were most likely to receive donations, but received smaller amounts compared to other types of artists;
The number of other onlookers influenced if and how much passers-by donated;
The artist's location and social media profile also impacted and influenced receiving a donation
Artists who joined the platform after the World Health Organisation (WHO) announcement that COVID-19 was a pandemic in March 2020 were more likely to receive a donation, which ranged from US$1 to over US$500 and averaged at just over US$14.
Lead author Dr Meg Elkins said street performers had a critical role to play as cities looked to bring back the buzz to their CBDs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Buskers often exist on the cultural fringes and get little, if any funding, but can bring vibrancy to streets, squares and shopping strips as people walk from the train to their office or duck out during their lunch hour," Elkins said.
"Europe and America have well-established busking cultures from Covent Gardens in London, Mauerpark in Berlin, to the many and varied roving performers in New York's Washington Square Park and subway stations, and this time of year when the northern summer is beginning is when it's often at its finest.
"Buskers performing in public for coin is a centuries old practice, but they have to move online as our society becomes increasingly cashless…

WARNING to All Customers shipping Motorcycles.
bike with miss the flight!!
What do I have to do to prepare for my motorbike to be shipped as dangerous good? Motorcycles are classified as dangerous goods in international air transport. Air Canada had a great deal last summer !!
Now, motorcycles are considered Dangerous Goods for transport by aircraft and as such, certain preparations for the bike (and documentation) are required. No worries! That's where we fit in. Dangerous Goods Packing Services Inc in Mississauga will guide you through the preparation procedure.
IF Air Canada starts the Bike program in 2017 then you would bring the bike to Air Canada, the day before your flight, with a quarter tank of gas or less. (VERY IMPORTANT) Then disconnect the battery and tape up the leads and the battery posts with black electrical tape. Then tie back the leads to secure them to the bike frame to prevent them from flopping around and causing a short circuit. That's it ! Air Canada will take care of the rest. We will prepare, and sign, a DG declaration form for your trip and just present this form to the DG Air Canada Cargo agent on duty along with your waybill number assigned to you by your Air Canada agent. (you may book up to 30 days in advance) Of course you will have to go through the same procedure when you return. We will prepare documentation for that leg too. Our cost to you is $125.00 ea. leg. taxes included.
After the success of Air Canada's 2017 campaign, offering substantially reduced rates, to "Fly Your Bike" to destinations within Canada and over in Europe, We are waiting for Air Canada to start there program again. Contact Air Canada Starting in April right through September 2018.
Are you shipping one way as a permanent export or do you require a round trip costing?
Besides ocean transport, our air freight division offers services for both importing and exporting motorcycles from the Canada.
However, when using any air freight service all bikes must be crated except with the Air Canada Cargo Special accross Canada using certified heat treated and stamped wood.
There are additional documents that are needed with the most important being the Dangerous goods form. Also, the cost of shipping motorcycles with air freight is based on cubic volume due to the demand for space and weight limits on most airliners.
With our motorcycle transport safety records exceeding the industry's standards, you'll have peace of mind knowing that your bike is in safe hands.

This Hilarious HeiHei costume from Moana is one of our family's favorite movie characters.
We work really hard every year to create wonderful lasting memories for our children and our grandchildren.We started taking our entire family to Disney World for their Halloween party 2 years ago when our granddaughters were 3 and 1 years old. I made costumes from Cinderella for the entire family that first year. Last year we all went as characters from Peter Pan.
Our family had such an amazing time. It reminded me of an old fashioned Halloween from our childhood. It was like being a kid again. The family is all hooked on Disney Halloweens and can't wait to go again this year.
The girls are 5 ,3 and 1 years old and are crazy for Moana. I have to say we all are. I try to choose costumes based on the size and personality of the wearer. Crazy Hei Hei suits our 3 year old so well. In fact we call her Crazy Zoey.
For the HeiHei costume,I have to consider that Orlando is almost always hot and humid in October. Therefore, I have to keep the costumes incredibly lightweight and comfortable. I created a romper from a lightweight blue sheet for the body of the rooster. The collar and head are made from an old yellow cab sheet. The red fabric is from an old t-shirt. I made the eyes from a dollar store foam ball that I cut in half and painted. The shoes are old shoes I painted yellow. The tights are old white tights I dyed yellow.
Once the costume was built I used permanent markers to draw in the feathers and other details.
In addition, the tail is built over a wire base to keep its shape.
Fortunately, Crazy Zoey loves her costume and has been wearing it to play around the house. It is both light and comfy.
Our family is is ready to take on Disney World and create some new memories for our growing family.
So, we hope you get a laugh from our Hilarious HeiHei costume!

Tensor Ring Technology, developed by Slim Spurling and Bill Reid in the 1990s, is supported by exciting research. "Rings" are closed loop coils. When they are made to certain specifications, they amplify subtle energy by several hundred times (according to Hans Becker who did some of the initial work with Spurling). Originally called Light-Life™ Rings, they are now also known as Tensor Rings. These simple devices can have a powerful effect on water and on living biology.
Tensor Rings create a toroidal vortex—a region of rotating movement where the flow takes on a toroid (doughnut) shape. Examples of this phenomenon are smoke rings and bubble rings. A very interesting YouTube video shows toroidal vortices produced by dolphins, whales, volcanoes, etc.
Anytime you create a loop—regardless of the material—a tensor network is created in the opening of the loop. This network is a mathematical expression of a concept developed by physicist John Wheeler who worked on the Manhattan Project. According to Wheeler, if you could see a tensor network, it would resemble the thin film that forms when a loop is dipped in a soapy liquid. Slim and Bill referred to the opening of the Ring as a tensor field and suggested that it was more than a mathematical expression. They felt that a "tensor field" was partly the reason soapy liquid created the film inside any looped material. They felt that the liquid actually "clung" to the field within the loop. The term tensor network is used today to understand complex systems made of many different interacting parts. It is considered by some to have geometry much like space-time.
Those who perceive subtle energy describe a beam of light within a Tensor Ring that extends in both directions. The energetic column appears to organize the space within. As water passes through a Tensor Ring, its molecular structure becomes more organized; the longer it sits inside the column, the more refined the structure becomes. Tensor Rings can be used around a container of water, around faucets, showerheads—even the incoming water line. As the structure of the water becomes more organized, chlorine is released, pH becomes more balanced, and the taste of the water generally improves. Other improvements that are more difficult to quantify, augment water's energy. Because of the column of energy that is created by a Tensor Ring, it is one of the most useful devices for protecting water from the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and other outside influences. It is often used to add or preserve the "information" that is imprinted to water. Tensor Rings can also be used to amplify the energy during the imprinting process as outlined in the book, Dancing with Water and illustrated in the diagram to the right.
One of the ways Tensor Rings augment water's energy is through the influence of paramagnetism. According to Phillip Callahan, an expert on paramagnetism, Tensor Rings exhibit a paramagnetic value many times greater than anything ever tested. According to Callahan, paramagnetism amplifies the Earth's resonance. It may also cause some of the elements in water to spin to their high-spin state referred to as ormus. This has an impact on water's molecular structure and on the energetic components of the water. Evidence for the presence of ormus can be seen in this experiment: Place two equal volumes of water in identical containers on a balance scale so that they are equally balanced. Place a Tensor Ring directly over one container. After 48 hours, the container with the Ring above it becomes measurably lighter (the difference in weight is dependent on the type and amount of minerals or salts in the water that can enter a high-spin state). Read Chapter 3 in the second edition of Dancing with Water to understand how the high-spin state (ormus) can reduce an element's weight.
Besides their effect on water, Tensor Rings have been used to augment plant growth and vitality. They have been used to reduce pain and inflammation, and to hasten healing. No health claims are being made, however, if Rings "organize the space" (create coherence) within their energetic column, this would explain their ability to reduce inflammation and their ability to improve the healing response.
MJ Pangman discusses Tensor Rings
When the ends of a conductive wire are brought together, a circuit is completed and an energetic field emerges (see video above). Although this circuit is not technically electric, it does have electrical properties; when placed "in" water, those properties are enhanced. Tensor Rings placed in water have a subtle electrolytic effect. In other words, the energetic circuit begins to gently ionize water; this process also releases tiny (often monoatomic) charged particles of the wire. Many colloidal preparations are still made with electrolysis, where two metal electrodes are suspended in water while direct current is applied. For this reason, it is not suggested that copper Tensor Rings be placed in water. However, solid silver Rings can make some interesting silver solutions, including ormus with enhanced silver. They can be used to structure and purify water. Dancing with Water sells a 2-inch solid silver Tensor Ring.
Tensor Rings are most often used as a single unit (placed around a pitcher of water, over a faucet, or around a water line), but they can be used in groupings with interesting effects. When placed in series (shown right) their energetic columns merge to create a stronger, expanded field. This setup is ideal for an incoming water line.
When certain sizes (based on specific lengths) are used in sets of three, harmonic resonance is created—much like a musical chord where the chord completes the expression of each individual note. The authors of Dancing with Water have identified a set of three Rings they refer to as the Harmonic Creation Field Trio. When used together, they create a vibratory chord resonating with the universal creative field of energy. The "base frequency" in the Harmonic Creation Field chord is the Earth Resonance frequency, provided by the inner Ring. It grounds water, strengthening and refining its connection to the core energy of the Earth. This Ring, referred to as the Earth Resonance Ring, creates the foundation on which the chord is built. The next larger Ring in the trio is called the Golden Fire Ring; it restore water's original life-supporting blueprint. The outer Ring of the Trio is referred to as the Regeneration Ring. This Ring is aligned with the bio-regenerative frequencies of the Earth's creative center. It strengthens water's ability to support natural and ongoing regeneration. In the experience of the authors of Dancing with Water, consumption of water made using this set of three Rings gradually clears chaotic vibrations and attracts life force from the Earth's bio-regenerative field.
You can make your own Tensor Ring by following the directions below:
How to make a Tensor Ring
Tensor Rings are made of copper wire (10 or 12-gauge works well to treat water). They can also be made of silver or plated with silver or gold for a broader spectrum effect. The length and configuration of the wire are both important to their design and function.
The Cubit
The original cubit length identified by Slim Spurling was 20.6 inches cubit length—the basic unit of measure used in building the Egyptian pyramids. This original cubit length (also called the Sacred Cubit length) is based on the circumference of the Earth at the latitude where the Pyramids are built. Spurling and Hans Becker eventually identified another cubit length, 23.49 inches. They referred to this as the Lost Cubit because it appeared that it may have been intentionally left out of many ancient, written records. For a detailed description of the differences between the two cubit lengths and their use with Tensor Ring technology, you may want to read the book, Slim Spurling's Universe. Since then, other cubit lengths have been identified.
In 2015, the authors of Dancing with Water identified a measurement of 19.65 inches with a resonance they refer to as the "Earth Core" resonance. Tensor Rings made using this measurement are tuned to the Earth's central core and to the Earth's natural energy field. They strengthen water's connection to the core energy of the Earth. This cubit length is extremely grounding and protective for water. Thus, the length of the wire in the basic Tensor Rings sold and used by Dancing with Water is 19.65 inches—or a multiple, half multiple or harmonic of that length.
Slim discovered that the ends of a length of wire have polarity (a positive and a negative side). If wire is looped back on itself and joined together, one side of the loop has a positive polarity while the other side of the loop has a negative polarity. To overcome this, Slim used a length of wire twice the cubit length and folded it in half. He also twisted the wire.
In electronics, an amplifying system is subject to electromagnetic interference (noise). In order to cancel the noise, the two input wires are twisted. This is known as Common Mode Rejection. Twisting the wire when making a Tensor Ring negates interference; it cancels the magnetic field and creates the unique tensor field described earlier that can be seen by some individuals resembling a soapy film.
NOTE: It is not surprising that Navajo hogans (round dwellings made of logs) were meticulously constructed so that the positive and negative ends of each log were carefully matched to create one continuous closed loop of a specific length. This creates a tensor field that augments the living environment.
Closing the loop
The twisted wire is formed into a loop so that each original piece of wire is connected back to itself in a continuous loop. The two ends of each wire are welded together.
Purchase Tensor Rings


Liverpool lost to Swansea at the Liberty stadium last week.
Arsenal travel to Swansea City in the Premier League on Tuesday (30 January) and former Gunners forward Paul Merson believes that the north London club have the guile to put one over the Swans at a place where Liverpool failed to take a single point only a week back.
The Welsh club gave their survival hopes a huge boost with a massive 1-0 win over Jurgen Klopp's men, only days after the Merseyside club had ended Manchester City's unbeaten run with a 4-3 win at Anfield. The Reds have been found culpable of struggling to break down teams who sit back to defend, while easily getting the better of their top six rivals.
Arsenal will have an opportunity to field new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who made his way to the Emirates from Manchester United, which saw Alexis Sanchez go the other way in a swap deal. The Armenian was cup-tied in the Gunners' semi-final clash against Chelsea where they managed a convincing 2-1 victory to set up a date with City in the finals.
Arsenal are favourites to win at the Liberty Stadium and maintain their push for a place in the top four and Merson believes that Arsene Wenger will have more luck than his German rival in breaking down the Swans' stodgy defence. The north London club are currently five points adrift of the Reds and a win here will put further pressure on Klopp's men who lost their FA Cup fourth round tie in the weekend to West Brom.
"Arsenal head to Swansea, hoping to succeed where Liverpool failed just over a week ago at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea will play in exactly the same way as they did against Liverpool. They'll defend in numbers but for me, Arsenal have got a bit more guile than Liverpool," Merson told Sky Sports, as quoted by the Express.
"They'll create more chances than Liverpool did and that will be the difference. We could see the debut of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and if it was me, I'd definitely play him. Some people might say he hasn't had much football in recent months but with the way Swansea will set up, Arsenal will have a lot of the ball.
"They could have up to 70 per cent possession so his creativity will prove useful."

Biden files: Oversight Chair James Comer demands visitor logs of Delaware home AND think tank in DC
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Sunday demanded visitor logs from both President Biden's Wilmington home and the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, DC after classified files were discovered in both locations.
The files date to Biden's vice presidency under Barack Obama.
During a contentious interview with CNN's State of the Union, Kentucky Republican Rep. Comer also pledged to investigate potential 'influence peddling' in the Trump administration when grilled about the partisan appearance of his probe into Biden.
'We want to know the visitor logs to the residence. We want to know who had access to the Biden center for diplomacy,' Comer said.
'This is the same type of investigation that the Democrats were so outraged…and demanded happen to President Trump.'
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer re-upped his past calls for President Biden's Delaware visitor logs on Sunday
It comes just a day after the White House revealed that five additional pages of classified files were found in Biden's private Delaware residence in the upscale community of Greenville, just outside of Wilmington.
That brings the total number of secret documents found there to six after a similar announcement was made earlier last week.
The White House admitted that classified files were found in Biden's former private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, DC, on November 2, 2022. The statement made clear that the relevant officials were fully cooperating with the National Archives and Department of Justice (DOJ).
But the administration has been under bipartisan scrutiny for only confirming their existence earlier this month, after CBS News first broke the story.
Comer would not say whether he believed that Biden committed any crimes on Sunday, even as he heaped criticism on the president for the way the incident has been handled.
The White House announced on Saturday that five additional classified pages were found at Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home
'Well, we don't know exactly yet whether they broke the law or not. I will accuse the Biden administration of not being transparent,' Comer said.
'Why didn't we hear about this on November 2nd when the first batch of classified documents were discovered?'
Throughout the interview, he was pressed multiple times on his comparably lukewarm reaction to news that Donald Trump improperly took dozens of top secret files to his home in Mar-a-Lago after leaving office.
Comer claimed it was 'hypocritical' and 'political' that the Biden administration appointed a special counsel for the Trump documents on November 18, after knowing about Biden's for weeks.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a new special counsel to investigate the documents found among Biden's private possessions late last week.
Host Jake Tapper played a clip of Comer from November 2022 where he told CNN that investigating Trump for his Mar-a-Lago documents 'will not be a priority' for the new Republican House majority.
Republicans have furiously cried foul while claiming the FBI raid on Donald Trump's home for classified documents was proof of a 'double standard'
'What you are saying to viewers who don't understand why President Biden's documents seem like a big priority for you, but President Trump – who took hundreds more documents – did not supply with a subpoena, did not reach out to the National Archives or the Justice Department to say, hey, we found these documents, it's not only a priority,' Tapper said.
He added: 'Do you only care about classified documents when Democrats do the mishandling?'
'Absolutely not,' Comer answered immediately. 'Look, we still don't know what type of documents President Trump had. That's one of the questions we've asked the National Archives.'
'Just because Joe Biden's lawyers say they turned over five documents, doesn't mean they just turned over five documents. They could have turned over 500 documents. I'm sorry, but I don't have a lot of confidence in President Biden's personal lawyers.'
Comer and Tapper also clashed over whether the vice president, which Biden would have been at the time, has the power to declassify documents.
At one point, when pressed on whether the committee's new name of 'Oversight and Accountability' rather than 'Oversight and Reform' would apply to both leaders, Comer said it would.
'I think the influence peddling with respect to the Trump administration will be a part of our overall investigation,' Comer said.
'Because both Democrats and Republicans have complained about this with the previous two administrations. So something needs to be done.'
But Comer isn't the only Republican calling for Biden's visitor logs. Colorado GOP Rep. Ken Buck wrote to the White House demanding their release.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged questions on Thursday over whether they would come out.
She instead pointed out that the Biden administration had expanded transparency with regards to White House visitor logs that had been severely curtailed under Trump.
