UPDATE 2015-05-12: I found an even better solution!
I'm an Evernote junky. I live in Evernote and have done since I first discovered it on September 11, 2008. As someone with a terrible memory chip, I use Evernote as my plug-in brain. It stores everything I see, hear, read and every idea I ever have.
1. Turn on your phone.
2. Find the Evernote app and click on it to open.
3. Wait a few seconds for it to load.
4. Click the tiny plus button in the top right-hand corner to create a new note.
5. Click in the body of the note to activate the recording functions.
6. Click the tiny and almost invisible audio recording button at the top of the screen.
7. Record what you want to say.
8. Hit the tiny "done" button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
9. Hit the "Close" button to save the note.
If I went through this process every few minutes while driving, I'd survive about a week.
So I was looking around for an iPhone audio app that would allow me to record and sync with Evernote with one click. And I think I've found it.
First I made sure that my Evernote "Email Notes to" address was listed under my Contacts app as "My Evernote". Now I can just activate Siri and say "Email to My Evernote……" and tell it what to say. Siri asks if I want to send it, I say yes and I'm done.
Added benefit: I don't need to transcribe the note when I'm back in Evernote on my Macbook – Siri does the work for me!
Thanks to @jjprojects for the hint!
Thanks for that Cam. I've set it up. Might come in handy from time to time.
I find it easier to just say 'take a note', then use one or two brain cells to remember I made something in notes and move it over later if i can be bothered. It also adds a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to the 'having a butler' feel. Although i also find that siri is very hard to use for anything other than basic ios commands like 'take me home' when driving. I still end up having to touch my phone to edit things, due to the background tyre and engine noise, which is a) dangerous and b) illegal in the UK (and for good reason – i think similar laws are going over the pond soon). Maybe its just the crappy bluetooth in my admittedly sub-apple standard aygo.

I need to just say that i'll update this blog whenever i'll update it instead of saying 'stay tuned' and then making you wait 6 months before I write something else.....whoops.
Too bad they don't have the video clip up anymore of the wedding.
The day after the wedding I had to finish packing as I was getting ready to go with my fiancé overseas to ...elope!
It was my idea to go.
It bothered me so much I went to see an Akashic Records psychic. For people who know me or have read up on this blog I am a spiritual person and when things go beyond understanding I will approach spirituality and meditation for an answer. I didn't actually look for a psychic, it was in the back of my mind to talk to one but, I didn't seek one out. He just came to be. My friend, Eliza Kitty and I are sisters on a spiritual path and we occasionally stock up on supplies when metaphysical fairs are in town. That's where I had come across him and after much tossing back and forth about whether or not to do it, I left. I was too scared, even with Eliza Kitty's reassurance. I slept on it and the next day I returned to the fair, still apprehensive but, dove in head first. I won't share everything he said but, he did mention I would find something important there. I took his vague advice along with the other not-so-vague [cold] reading with me. I hate warm and hot readings.
We hopped on a plane and traveled as far north as I had ever been, Newark and then on another plane to travel to even farther north, past Newfoundland and Greenland and finally dropping down into Edinburgh Airport.Talk about strange. Farthest either of us had been from home and everything was different. The food, which is great by the way, the traffic, which I could without, the historic buildings, which were probably my favorite of all and the language, stars...I could barely understand them but, I loved to hear the bouncy banter. I made sure to take Eliza Kitty's advice about not looking for what the psychic had told me and to just concentrate on the wedding and having fun. I ended up doing that, visiting castles, eating local foods, soaking up ancient history through tours and touching everything I came in contact with. I thought my eyes would burst trying to take it all in. I mean my first look at Edinburgh was the castle and I felt puny at the sight of it. It was overpowering and yet, everyone walking around didn't bat an eye. THERE'S A F****ING CASTLE IN THE SKY, LOOK AT IT! LOOK AT IT! LOOK. AT. IT! Gees Louise you Scots, that's amazing!
I got to see Prince Charles of Wales exiting the Parliament building, that's exciting. Not every day you see a monarch, a person of ancient royal bloodline in person. I took a short video of him but, it's pathetic...you can't see him in it. I saw him but, it's like trying to take a photo of the moon. You see it in detail and all it's splendor and then you take a photo with your phone and it's a speck.
We had tons of mini adventures on top of the main event of the wedding, which was perfectly perfect. I hate the drama with weddings and I've seen so many of my girlfriends completely ragged and unhappy after the wedding because they were too busy with trying to appease everyone. No. Thank. You.
2 Things I did find that I will never know if this was what the psychic meant or not.
The Stag is my spiritual animal and guide and I had no idea that Scotland was chock full of Stag symbols, merchandise, art, sculptures, monuments, paintings, toys, fabric, etc. I never seen so many Stags in my life. The only time I can get a Stag sculpture in the states is around Christmas and that's only because it's the "new in thing for decorating." Oh and by the way, other weird coincidences, my new last name's family crest....Stag...boom!
The other thing discovered was when I was drawn to climb Arthur's Seat. An extinct volcano/mountain that towers over Edinburgh, it's next to Holyrood Palace where the British Queen comes to stay once a year to do various duties and ceremonies for the Scottish people. Why? As neat as that sounds, it's also dark thinking that the English still have so much control over Scotland. It's the 21st century... I love you England but, Scottish Independence, yo. FREEEEEDDDOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!
As an American who lives in a country that doesn't have to answer to monarchs like that, it was totally strange and like I said, a bit dark.
Anyways, the mountain... That's a tough climb! You could see who lived there and who didn't. The locals bounced about the rocks like it was no big deal, even elderly men climbed the rocks with ease. An Asian Family and other tourists like us around had to make frequent breather stops, I knew it would be hard but it was so worth it in the end. The view is amazing and makes things like the giant castle in the sky that is Edinburgh Castle look like a doll playset. I don't know if I have vertigo, I've done things like skydive and flown and had been perfectly fine but, I was frightened of the wind on the top of the mountain. Scotland can be very windy and cool. We were lucky enough to come on a warm week, as per the taxi driver, it had snowed the week before. After some pictures, a kiss and had taken up as much view as we felt comfortable (with the sun setting so quickly) we made our way down.
Halfway down I had an epiphany.
I was living the life, just being there that I only imagined important or affluent or talented or divinely gifted people were living. Thinking anyone but, me. I'm not that good. I had an out-of-body moment. I was torn. Only dreaming of the life and adventures I wanted to have to suddenly be in that moment, doing them. I didn't feel like myself. I had climbed a mountain and I came down as someone different. I made a promise to myself to live out the life I wanted, no more of this floundering about, being swept up in the current of life with no direction, it's not living. Not really. I want to feel like this person that was sitting there on that mountain, living the life that they before only dreamed of.
I love traveling. It pushes you outside of your comfort zone and makes you look into yourself.
I've been back in the states for almost a month now and I can think only of Scotland. I've watched movies with Scottish landscapes, longed for it's people, scrounged about looking for Scottish type breakfast (like I had there) -particularly the combination of hollaindaise and fresh salmon. I forgot to mention I tried haggis over there! It wasn't too bad. I also had scotch, we bought a bottle with a STAG on it. I've never been to the Highland Games but, I hear they are happening in town this weekend and I am going to go. I've begged my husband about us becoming expatriates. He's very open to the suggestion but, wants to plan for it right.
I want to write more but, i'll have to continue this in a part II post. Thanks for stopping in to read.

Neretva Valley Expecting Good Harvest Season Despite Coronavirus Crisis
By Lauren Simmonds 1 October 2020
October the 1st, 2020 - It's rare to read anything about the coronavirus pandemic bringing positive results to anyone or anything, but it does happen, and not only to companies who make masks. The Neretva Valley, famous for its abundance of fruit which can be seen sold all over the country on stands and in various stories in the colder months, has done very well indeed and is expecting a great harvest season this year.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 30th of September, 2020, mandarin oranges are the only Croatian export fruit, whose harvest officially begins during the last days of September as autumn overtakes summer. While the Neretva Valley's fruit growers are anxiously awaiting the harvest season, which will take place under unprecedented epidemiological conditions, it seems that the coronavirus could actually go hand in hand with them as opposed to against them, as has been the case with just about every other field imaginable.
Namely, higher demand is expected for the Neretva Valley's fruit, as it is packed full of vitamin C, which is traditionally used to strengthen immunity and remain healthy, writes Slobodna Dalmacija. As such, the Neretva Valley's many fruit growers hope to be able to sell their mandarin oranges just as well, if not better, than in previous years.
However, in Croatia, it has been proven time and time again that nothing is ever particularly certain when it comes to agriculture, because every year imports destroy domestic production during the traditional season of harvesting homegrown fruit and vegetables. Owing to that, it's hard to assume that in the case of the Neretva Valley's mandarin oranges, the scenario from May will be repeated, when domestic strawberry growers sold their strawberries and still made good money because there were no imports due to the coronavirus and the restrictions that came as a result of it.
Initial estimates show that the Neretva Valley growers will have a production of about 32,000 tonnes of mandarin oranges this season, which is a mediocre crop, but good quality is expected regardless.

With the Chancellor reportedly likely to announce a large, across-the-board but temporary cut in VAT tomorrow, Richard Hyslop calls for a more targeted but larger percentage cut in the VAT that is imposed on building repair and maintenance work.
As George Osborne prepares his response to the Pre-Budget Report one vote-winning tax cut that the Conservative Party should commit to is cutting VAT on building repair and maintenance work.
The current housing shortage, the impact of our buildings on carbon emission levels, and the on-going problem of rogue traders taking advantage of the public are different issues with a common thread; each problem is exacerbated by the 17.5% rate of VAT charged by the Government on maintenance and home improvement work. In January, a coalition of organisations was formed to lobby for a cut in VAT from 17.5% to 5% for all building repair and maintenance work.
Cutting VAT not only makes economic sense it also makes environmental sense. Making building repair and maintenance work more affordable will encourage the reuse of our existing structures rather than continuing urban sprawl by building on green fields. Aside from the direct benefit of reducing demand for land, reuse of existing buildings also minimises the need to send demolition waste to landfill, reduces the damage done by extraction and transport of construction materials (e.g. aggregates), and cuts the demand for embodied energy. Recycling our heritage by putting buildings back into beneficial use is an essential part of improving our quality of life. Cutting VAT across the EU would also contribute towards helping to meet the EU's carbon emissions targets.
There is considerable support for a reduction in VAT in Parliament, in industry and amongst the general public as evidenced by Early Day Motion 669 and the work of the 'Cut the VAT Coalition'. Recent research carried out by ComRes showed that a staggering 65% of all Conservative MPs supporting a cut in VAT. Both the strong evidence and size of support should convince George Osborne of the need to take action and we hope that he will commit the Conservative Party to cutting this pernicious tax should they win the next general election.

Since 2004 Trackers has led the way in standards of safety for outdoor camps and programs. All lead camp staff are CPR/First AID certified and all staff have passed a fingerprinted background check. We are very selective in our hiring process, choosing mature and competent individuals with profound experience in education.
Yes. We Livescan and background check all program staff to ensure they are appropriate for working with children and youth. Our insurance company also double-checks for traffic infractions to ensure clean driving records.
Our average instructor have an average of two to five years of experience in outdoor education. Plus, this experience has to be relevant (for duties very similar to what they will be responsible for at Trackers). They have to prove to us that they were at the top of their game while accruing their experience. We thoroughly check references. One might ask the question, "How can Trackers require such high end experience?" The answer is: We're simply more fun to work for. Our camps don't go through the motions, we never phone it in, we don't teach out of a pre-made box. We do things that inspire great passion from the kids and adults we work with. We get the best families, campers, and instructors.
We have a very unusual round-robin interview process that involves all of our full-time staff (office and teaching staff included!) This means typically between five and seven core Trackers staff have to say "Yes" to an applicant before we hire them. Our teaching staff knows who they need on their team to not only do a good job, but a great one.
Yet this is only Step 1. We bring on seasonal staff as early as possible during the year, providing skills training, on the job assisting work, and more. This gives us the opportunity to systematically observe them teaching several types of activities and program days, all the while continuing the conversation of best fit to find the right place on the team for them.
Yes! We feel Trackers has one of the best Safety Manuals in the business. It is a living document that we update throughout the year with best practices and new information. Often, people don't understand true risk in many activities because they lack experience. Our policies look at every potential risk and lateral contingency. Ironically, what we do has a lower statistical risk than youth martial arts, dance, sports or gymnastics, yet we feel we focus more on mitigating our hazards than many organizations in those fields.
Trackers is at the forefront of blending "old school" outdoor education with new and leading standards of safety, responsibility and personalized learning. We seek to bring environmental education back to true adventure in the out-of-doors.
Additionally, although we do background checks and have managerial supervision for all programs, it is our policy that adult instructors are never alone with a single student. We follow the "truddy" system (minimum group size of three people) to stay in groups so we can ensure constant supervision and safety of students.
For every activity we do and every site we visit, we put together what we call a "Site and Activity Safety Profile" (referred to internally by Trackers staff as the Dradis Report). It includes key phone numbers for Trackers staff and local emergency services, along with evacuation plans and maps to local medical and emergency facilities. Copies of these are kept in all vehicles and with all key instructors.
This profile also identifies the "Site Safety Leader" - the person with the highest level of safety certification responsible for all risk management at the site and every person in attendance at the site.
Finally, each program coordinator does a thorough evaluation of the hazards and challenges inherent in the site and activities. As a team they outline the best preventive practices for risk management. These are listed and detailed on the sheet. The "Site and Activity Safety Profile" is thoroughly reviewed and consistently discussed by all instructors to be capable of adapting to new information throughout the program.
We do seasonal safety trainings, including intensive driver training. Our driving staff possess a full Commercial Drivers License for any vehicles requiring this. Along with training and assessment by key outside driving programs, key Trackers staff also personally road test all incoming instructors and address best practices for driving. Instructors working near emergency services are required to be up-to-date on first-aid and CPR certifications, including Epi-Pen. If operating in an area more than 40 minutes from emergency services, we require a Wilderness First Responder certification.
One of the most unique pieces of Trackers' safety infrastructure happens every morning. It's called "Safety Stand Up Meeting." Every member of the staff takes a turn voicing their thoughts on the upcoming day. They consider their Site Safety Profile, observations of previous days, students who have demonstrated needs for additional attention and much more. We then brainstorm refinements and growth in our strategy. We believe this is the most important thing we do. It prevents our safety policies from becoming something people read in a manual one day and forget the next. At Trackers we understand that overreliance on only policies can lead to someone saying, "But it wasn't in the Handbook!"
"Always expect the unexpected" is a motto Trackers lives by. We choose to see safety as a continuous and intelligent dialogue, always improving based on the real world experience of those responsible for it.
We feature small groups of 12-14. On very rare occasion we will exceed that due to siblings or friends wanting to be in the same group. The standard ratio is 1 instructor to 6 or 7 students. Two instructors work together to create the most personal experience possible. We constantly account for and monitor all students within our immediate area. And again, even within this direct oversight, we require students to always work with a buddy.
Recognizing that we have high expectations for the activities in our programs, we have one of the most immediate discipline policies for camps. If a camper is choosing not to listen to directions and work within the expectations set by the instructor, we will ask them to stay home for one day. This allows us to focus on the other campers who are choosing to participate in a positive way. We take personal and quality experiences seriously. We are not babysitters; we are educators bringing real life back to camps.
Trackers is fully insured for liability and we are a licensed and bonded outdoor guide service with the State of Oregon and in California. All the sites we operate in are named as additional insured on our policies. All our vehicles are insured. Our insurance company helps us with vehicle risk management by consistently monitoring the records of driving staff.
What is the average experience of your lead counselors? Were they hired right out of high school/college or do they have life experience?
On top of requiring deft and diverse experience as professional educators, our focus is to work people of great ilk and stature. Within the culture of Trackers we insist on competency, family depth and creativity. We need our instructors to be direct, honest and very clear in their communication process. We have known instructors who demonstrate this quality who are only 20 years old, and likewise often find those who come to us later in life who are equally thoughtful. That said, our average instructor age is generally 3 - 7 years higher than other camps. We look for depth of experience before inviting anyone into our family. The leadership team of Trackers will only work with people we would 100% trust with our own children.
Risk management and good safety policies must be based on well trained, intelligent and competent staff. They need to do more than rely on policies. They need to be a team where every individual takes it upon themselves to focus on awareness for any contingency. We require our people to be incredibly thoughtful and discerning. We ask them to treat your children's well-being as if they were their own.


There are various types of treatments for ADHD. Often the practitioner who diagnoses will recommend treatment options based on their evaluation. In addition, it is important to note that the treatment of ADHD, just as with other medical conditions, the final decision rests with the person with ADHD or parents in the case of children. Based on many scientific studies, the most successful treatment involves a multi-modal approach.
The treatments above have been studied and have varying degrees of success. In particular, neurofeedback and interactive metronome seems to work for some and not for others. Coaching is often suggested as a means to assist with behavioral change, life skills and executive functioning for living "WITH" ADHD. There are other claims made around various nutritional supplements that have not been accepted by the ADHD scientific community due to insufficient data.
We also know that there is a correlation between a healthy lifestyle and improved functioning for the person with Attention Deficit Disorder.
There is NO cure for ADHD.
The ASN Team does not endorse nor require any particular treatment for the client receiving coaching services. We believe that ADHD treatment options are a personal choice. We will, however, refer to other professionals if we see a need for other intervention.

Chapter 11 - Why Did You Run Away? (2)
Chapter 11 – Why Did You Run Away? (2)
Louise's eyes trembled with fear. He was too close. She opened her mouth as she looked at his darkened eyes.
"I wasn't running…"
Her voice shook slightly.
"I was just checking to make sure I was in the right place. I'm still unfamiliar with the campus."
She gave a nervous smile.
"But I can't leave a friend in trouble. "'
She wasn't just walking into hell, she was at full march.
"Friend?"
"…Is it weird to call you a friend?"'
"No, it's not exactly weird. I don't think it's wrong. Our relationship can probably be described as 'childhood friends.'"
No, he was certainly not her childhood friend. If that's what he wanted, however, then she was willing to amend her own definition of the term.
Childhood friend: A dangerous relationship in which one friend from childhood can ruin another's life at any time.
"I am happy to hear you say that you're my friend. Even though you're also my ex-fiancée who ran away just because you were uncomfortable seeing my face."
It wasn't his face that made her uncomfortable. Anyways, Louise felt lucky that Ian at least agreed to a friendship. He was kind enough that he wouldn't do anything cruel to a friend.
"Not really. Your Highness, you didn't tell me you were going to be at this student council meeting, so I was just surprised."
"I hadn't told you?"
"You hadn't."
If she had known, she would have backed out when she received the invitation to join the student council.
"I apologize for that."
Ian finally took a step back from her. He pulled back his arm and looked at her with a kinder expression.
"I'm sorry that my dear friend doesn't know what other students know."
"Rumors are slow to come to me."
"I suppose so."
No noblemen or commoner would bother passing this trivial piece of information to her.
"Anyway, I'm the student council president. Regretfully, I'm not enough for the job."
As student president he had the highest authority and duty among students. It was not unlike his real status.
"There's so much to do, which is why I always rely on the rest of the student council."
"It would be great to be with people who are reliable."
Louise spoke as if she were talking about someone else's business. She was still searching for an opening to run away.
Ian smiled, and Louise nodded fervently.
"And now a reliable childhood friend of mine will be part of it."
Ugh. There was no escape.
"What a great tradition. What was it? The person at the top of the class will serve in the student council?"
It's a relic of an old age.
"You think it's a relic of an old age, don't you?"
Louise replied in a fright.
"No! Even relics of the old age should be respected!"
"I'm glad you understand."
This was how Louise got caught.
"It won't be a bad experience for you. It would be a chance to prove the worth of Louise Sweeney to other families. "
"I…worth?"
"There are many in this academy that are being groomed as successors to important families."
Louise gazed up at Ian.
"Is that you why took the position of president?"'
"… Hmm?"
"To prove your worth."
"You mean me?"
Ian chuckled to himself. Louise Sweeney, as always, asked strange questions. How dare she suggest that the crown prince had to prove himself.
"Well, if you think so."
'… Something is different.'
Louise eventually bowed, accepting her position as new member of the student council. She had to admit the atmosphere of the student council room was quite cozy and she felt like she was part of a small hobby club.
Ian was not like the original. The original didn't strive for improvement in this way.
"It won't be too difficult. We're here to help students make their school life more fulfilling,"
Claire Iris said encouragingly.
"What do you all usually do?"
"Various things. We host events and do regular volunteer work. When students feel like they've been treated unfairly, the most important thing to do is to stand up for them."
Claire paused for a moment then leaned in with a very serious expression.
"We're always careful not to get terrible menus at the cafeteria."
"Think about it. This place is like a remote island, isn't it? Imagine during the semester when you can't go out as freely as you like, you're served chocolate grilled eggplant or donkey's tail."
Louise had been confident that she lived a diverse range of experiences, from being poor in her old life to being rich in a fictional world. However, her life, compared to that dish, sounded very ordinary.
"I wouldn't want to come across that."
"Right? The management lady comes up with dishes like that. The chocolate grilled eggplant was actually on the menu last year."
Louise grimaced as she imagined the taste. Claire clapped her hands attentively.
"Don't worry too much, the menus are posted a week ahead of time, and we've always fought against the worst of them. Like once there was–"
"And what else do you do?"
Claire seemed ready to mention another bizarre dish, so Louise quickly changed the topic.
"Well…there is something you can do."
"I would do it myself, but I can't. I'll leave it up to you all. Will that be okay, President? "
Claire glanced over to Ian, who was seated at the head of the table. He slowly crossed his legs.
"That would be fine. Nothing would be better than an opportunity to prove the worth of Louise Sweeney."
Claire nodded in agreement after having attained his permission.
"I think so, too. Every member of the student council needs to prove their worth. "
What kind of task would they set Louise? Perhaps all of the school's flower beds needed to be renewed. Or many they needed an illustrated book about plants growing on campus.
Louise swallowed. She was getting nervous for nothing.
"–is finding which classes are on the verge of cancellation."
This didn't make sense to Louise.
"The Academy has some classes that are popular, but some that aren't."
She nodded. Louise still had a grudge against the physics class she took in Korea.
"But some students really want the unpopular classes. They become sad when the class is closed."
"In other words."
Louise calmly summarized Claire's words.
"We fill the classes so they don't get canceled?"
How does this relate to proving her worth? Anyone can sign up for a class, even if they weren't Louise!
"You're thinking how does this relate to proving your worth?"
Ian asked, tilting his chin up and grinning.
"I….!"
"Why else do you think a class is unpopular?"
Why? It was so obvious.
"It must be a difficult class. Or the lecture is boring, or the tests are hard…"
Such classes left a sour taste in her mouth, but enduring them and producing good grades would be a chance to prove herself. Louise sighed internally. There were only two things she wanted at this academy.
One was to get further away from Ian. The other was to keep being at the top of the class and enjoy the honor of being the best student.
It seemed that the student council wasn't the highway to a bad ending, it was the bad ending. As expected, her life was ruined.

About our Essences
How to Use Essences
Welcome to Ancient Forest Flower Essences
We make flower essences in the tradition of Edward Bach, the great British physician who pioneered the art of flower essence making.
Flower Essences from Ancient Trees
Our love of trees has guided us to make flower essences in the heart of pristine ancient forests, ranging from towering redwoods to 4,000 year old bristlecone pines.
The essences carry the unique properties of these ancient trees and environs, and are made in a manner which does not harm the trees in any way.
Our essences are available in handy boxed kits of seven bottles. Two of our most popular kits are Essences of the North American West and Ancient European Essences.
Online Catalog and Store
All of our essences are available through our online Product Catalog, which has links to each essence and its properties.
Learning about Flower Essences
We offer this site as a resource for learning about flower essences. We have included information about how we make our essences, an introduction to the use of essences, and an Online Catalog and Store.
The Essence Makers
Ancient Forest Essences are made by Sophia Katy Savich in collaboration with Richard Witteman. Sophia has been making and working with flower essences for over 35 years.
The Tradition of Dr. Bach
In the 1930's, Dr. Bach roamed the English countryside, making essence tinctures from wild flowers and other plants. He began using these with his patients in London, with remarkable results. Over the years, he compiled his now famous 38 Bach Flower Essences, which are used world wide.

Emily Bronte: Wuthering Heights
25. CHAPTER XXV
'THESE things happened last winter, sir,' said Mrs. Dean; 'hardly more than a year ago. Last winter, I did not think, at another twelve months' end, I should be amusing a stranger to the family with relating them! Yet, who knows how long you'll be a stranger? You're too young to rest always contented, living by yourself; and I some way fancy no one could see Catherine Linton and not love her. You smile; but why do you look so lively and interested when I talk about her? and why have you asked me to hang her picture over your fireplace? and why - ?'
'Stop, my good friend!' I cried. 'It may be very possible that I should love her; but would she love me? I doubt it too much to venture my tranquillity by running into temptation: and then my home is not here. I'm of the busy world, and to its arms I must return. Go on. Was Catherine obedient to her father's commands?'
'She was,' continued the housekeeper. 'Her affection for him was still the chief sentiment in her heart; and he spoke without anger: he spoke in the deep tenderness of one about to leave his treasure amid perils and foes, where his remembered words would be the only aid that he could bequeath to guide her. He said to me, a few days afterwards, "I wish my nephew would write, Ellen, or call. Tell me, sincerely, what you think of him: is he changed for the better, or is there a prospect of improvement, as he grows a man?"
'"He's very delicate, sir," I replied; "and scarcely likely to reach manhood: but this I can say, he does not resemble his father; and if Miss Catherine had the misfortune to marry him, he would not be beyond her control: unless she were extremely and foolishly indulgent. However, master, you'll have plenty of time to get acquainted with him and see whether he would suit her: it wants four years and more to his being of age."'
Edgar sighed; and, walking to the window, looked out towards Gimmerton Kirk. It was a misty afternoon, but the February sun shone dimly, and we could just distinguish the two fir-trees in the yard, and the sparely-scattered gravestones.

Presentations & Convenings: Adolescents, Identity, and Social Media
Linda Charmaraman, Ph.D., WCW senior research scientist and director of the Youth, Media, & Wellbeing Research Lab, co-presented a poster with her WCW Class of '67 Intern Rebecca Leu (Class of 2019) entitled, "Adolescent Social Media Use and Body Image: Associations with depression, social anxiety, and peers," at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association (APA) in San Francisco, CA, in August. Co-authored by Research Associate Amanda Richer, Wellesley College student Nimo Suleyman (Class of 2021), and collaborator Megan Moreno, M.D., M.P.H., M.S.Ed., from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, they demonstrated that a little over half of early adolescent social media users in their middle school sample have felt body dissatisfaction from viewing social media. Those who are particularly vulnerable are females, older adolescents, those with large online peer networks, and those who check their social media frequently. Also at APA, Charmaraman presented a poster, "How Liberal Voters Interpreted the 2016 Trump Media Campaign: Race, gender, age, and civic issues," on behalf of co-authors Katharine Madsen (Class of 2019), Richer, and Lisette DeSouza, Ph.D., WCW postdoctoral scholar. By analyzing the interpretations of the Make America Great Again slogan in the survey sample of 1,570 respondents, the researchers found that the stronger one's social identity, the more likely one associates the slogan with racial relations, the desire for more homogeneity, and a return to the pre-civil rights era. However, if someone has a strong gender identity, the slogan was more likely to be interpreted as encompassing traditional gender roles, male dominance, and family values.
In October, Charmaraman was invited to be a speaker on a panel about digital media, mental health, and relationships at the Second National Congress of Digital Media and Developing Minds held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. The interdisciplinary conference brought together scientists in the fields of neuroscience, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, communications, education, public health, and epidemiology to report on the state-of-the-art empirical research and medically-based methodologies used to study the impact of digital media on toddlers, children, and adolescents. Charmaraman's talk focused on early adolescent wellbeing and expressions of peer emotional support on social media.
In May, Charmaraman addressed the National Asian American Professionals Association, in Jamaica Plain, MA. During the event, "Cultural Identities Lost in Translation? Growing up bicultural," Charmaraman discussed Asian American identity, family socialization, media habits, and mental health. She drew from her past experience teaching Asian American Psychology at Wellesley College and from her recently published article in Asian American Journal of Psychology, "Asian American Social Media Use: From cyber dependence to cyber harassment to saving face." In September, the Youth, Media, & Wellbeing Research Lab shared the preliminary results at one of the school communities of the pilot study funded by Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development. Over 70 parents in a Boston suburb attended the panel discussion, led by Charmaraman, Jennifer Grossman, Ph.D., WCW senior research scientist, and Moreno.

Q: How to bind visibility to controller in JavaFX I am trying to create a menu for my game using JavaFX. I want to have a "Continue" button that I only want to be visible when a game is running. I'm trying to bind the button's visibility property to a controller, but it doesn't appear to be working- the button is just invisible.
I have looked around Google and StackExchange, and I've found information on how to set it programmatically, but I'd rather not couple the Java code any tighter to the FXML than I really need to.
Here is my code for the FXML page...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <?import javafx.geometry.*?>
    <?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
    <?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
    <?import javafx.scene.text.*?>

<GridPane fx:controller="com.silferein.erq.gui.MenuController"
xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" hgap="10" vgap="10">
    <padding><Insets top="25" right="25" bottom="25" left="25"/></padding>

    <Text id="welcome-text" text="Main Menu" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="0" GridPane.columnSpan="2"/>
    <Button text="New" onAction="#handleNew" GridPane.rowIndex="1"/>
    <Button text="Continue" onAction="#handleContinue" GridPane.rowIndex="2" visible="${controller.gameRunning}" />
    <Button text="Load" onAction="#handleLoad" GridPane.rowIndex="3"/>
    <Button text="Save" onAction="#handleSave" GridPane.rowIndex="4"/>
    <Button text="Quit" onAction="#handleQuit" GridPane.rowIndex="5"/>
</GridPane>

Here is my code for the controller (trimmed somewhat):
@FXML protected void handleContinue(ActionEvent event) {
    System.out.println("Continue!");
    parent.handle(new GUIEvent(GUIEvent.Type.CONTINUE));
}
// ...
@FXML protected boolean getGameRunning() {
    System.out.println("Test!");
    // Some check to see if there's a game in progress...
    return true;
}

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My code compiles and all buttons except "Continue" are visible and working.

A: Create a BooleanProperty:
BooleanProperty isGameRunning = new SimpleBooleanProperty(false);

Give your 'continue'-button a fx:id (lets say btnContinue) and inject it into a controller.
@Inject Button btnContinue;

Bind the buttons visibility property to your isGameRunning property. (Do this in your initialize method)
btnContinue.visibleProperty().bind(isGameRunning);

Now whenever you change the value of isGameRunning, the visibility of your button will change.

A: As sketched out by haisi, the missing link is to extend the Initialize() method to create a property binding from yout gameRunning boolean (Property) to the visibleProperty() of the button:
FXML:
xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" hgap="10" vgap="10">
    <padding><Insets top="25" right="25" bottom="25" left="25"/></padding>

    <Text id="welcome-text" text="Main Menu" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="0" GridPane.columnSpan="2"/>
    <Button text="New" onAction="#handleNew" GridPane.rowIndex="1"/>
    <Button fx:id="continueBtn" text="Continue" onAction="#handleContinue" GridPane.rowIndex="2" />
    <Button text="Load" onAction="#handleLoad" GridPane.rowIndex="3"/>
    <Button text="Save" onAction="#handleSave" GridPane.rowIndex="4"/>
    <Button text="Quit" onAction="#handleQuit" GridPane.rowIndex="5"/>
</GridPane>

Class:
public class GameController implements Initializable {
    private BooleanProperty gameRunning = new SimpleBooleanProperty(false);

    @FXML Button continueBtn;

    @FXML protected void handleNew(ActionEvent event) {
        gameRunning.set(true);
    }
    @FXML protected void handleLoad(ActionEvent event) {

    }
    @FXML protected void handleSave(ActionEvent event) {

    }
    @FXML protected void handleQuit(ActionEvent event) {
        gameRunning.set(false);
    }
    @FXML protected void handleContinue(ActionEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Continue!");
        //parent.handle(new GUIEvent(GUIEvent.Type.CONTINUE));
    }
    @Override
    public void initialize(URL arg0, ResourceBundle arg1) {
        continueBtn.visibleProperty().bind(gameRunning);
    }
}

I had the expectation, that it should be sufficient to implement gameRunning as full javafx bean property (setGameRunning, getGameRunning, gameRunningProperty) and the visible="${gameRunning}" shall work out automatically, but was unable to achieve that properly. It had been discussed in: Binding a Label's text property (in an FXML file) to an IntegerProperty (in a controller)

Angela Strynkowski, Founder of A Jewel In The Lotus with LympheDiva's compression garment.
Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL) is more common than you would think after surgery or treatment. BCRL can be quite devastating to patients, as its far-reaching consequences are a constant reminder of their cancer. It is also one of those things that is not given enough attention to. Unfortunately once you have lymphedema – you have it. You will need to learn to manage it and yoga can help.
Practicing continuous flowing movements has a positive impact on the lymphatic system, and in particular Lymphedema. When lymph fluid is disrupted through breast cancer surgery, trauma or infection there may be an excessive fluid build up. This stagnant fluid can play havoc on the tissues and create swelling. There also can be a reduction of the oxygen intake or absorption to the lymphatic system; all of which increases the chance for infection.
Keeps the lymphatic fluid pumping throughout the body's channels, rather than accumulating or backing up.
It is great for maintaining healthy breast tissue.
To keep this fluid moving, we need to also foster relaxation.
It will facilitate renewed or restored strength, and flexibility.
Gentle flowing movements develop a supple spine and a strong nervous system.
When the nervous system is in balance the parasympathetic and sympathetic system work together creating great calm.
When flowing in the practice the poses encourage digestion, assimilation and elimination.
Yoga stimulates the body's immune system to maintain health.
Exercise, breathing and relaxation may offer another self-management tool for patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema. Self management may also include attention to skin care and self massage, wearing a compression sleeve, elevating the affected arm and knowledge of any other risk reduction.
It is important to note, "Use moderation when starting something new or when returning." Also it is important to do your yoga in a room where the temperature is comfortable, not hot. Hot yoga is not recommended; it is contraindicated as heat will add to the lymphatic load. Some may want to wear a compression sleeve and gauntlet if swollen, if not swollen do not restrict the arm.

Hi its a nice blog and well done..Iam Dr.usha working for oncology care past 5 years teaching yohga therapy to cancer patients. Nice article..
Hello I am 16mths post bi lateral mastectomy. i did not need chemo or radiotherapy and I am on Letrazole for 5yrs. I have been recently diagnosed with lymphodema in my arms and I have pain and weakness in both sides. I would love to try ANYTHING that will give some ease and relief, I am disabled due to atrhritis and have to use crutches and a wheelchair to get about. Is this going to prove a difficulty in trying yoga? I realise that there are some of the positions that I will be unable to do but is there an adapted version that I could manage?
First, make the commitment of a certain amount of time each day just for you and your yoga. It can be even before you get out of bed.
Start in reclined Butterfly (soles together, knees to side) and breath consciously. When ready bring your arms over head and support arms with a pillow. This is a real easy place to start.

Remembering Doc Donahue
Robert Donahue, whose nickname, for reasons not entirely clear, was "Doc," died on Tuesday. His wife of 59 years predeceased him four months ago, and after her death, his own health declined.
Doc was often seen around town, making deliveries for Meals on Wheels, driving people to medical appointments, and, in the days before ShopRite's home delivery service, doing grocery shopping for others, but where many people saw Doc most often was in the outside seat on the left in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Robert Donahue served for twenty-four years--twelve consecutive terms--on the Common Council as alderman for the Fifth Ward. At his last Council meeting in December 2017, when he was given a plaque to acknowledge his long years of service, he expressed his gratitude to Rick Scalera for persuading him to run for alderman back in 1993 and quipped that Scalera was not only a great mayor but also a great salesman. He explained that the Democrats had not endorsed him in 2017 because he had supported Republican Bill Hallenbeck in 2015 and asked rhetorically, "What's more important—a friend or a political party?"
Talking about politics and city government, a native Hudsonian once told me that back in the day people could argue passionately and acrimoniously at Council meetings and then all go out and have a beer together. Doc's relationships with people often had that same paradoxical quality. During my four years on the Council, representing the First Ward, Doc and I, although both Democrats, were on different sides of the aisle, literally and figuratively. He crystallized our opposition once by declaring, directing the comment at me, "I don't know anything about this resolution, but if you're for it, I'm against it." A few years later, when I was no longer on the Council, Doc stopped his car, as he often did, to say hello when I was out walking my dog. After exchanging greetings, Doc asked, "Am I still your favorite alderman?" In one of my finest Dorothy Parker moments, I assured him, "Nothing has changed, Doc. Nothing has changed."
At Doc's last Common Council meeting, Scalera was there to, in his words, "escort the last good old boy off the Council." Bob Donahue was indeed the archetypal Hudson good old boy, who put friendship above political party and loyalty to friends above almost all other considerations.
The last time I saw Doc was a month or so ago. I was walking Joey in the cemetery in the early morning, and Doc drove right past us, without seeing or acknowledging us. I have since learned that he visited his wife's grave every morning. He must have been on his way there when I saw him.
Rest in peace, Doc Donahue. We shall not see your like again.

Carole, Your posting about 'Doc' shows class in describing the man that he was, and gives him the respect he deserves. As always a great job. Thank you.

Rick Scalera shared this comment in an email:
All those that knew and loved Doc would sum up the character of his life he lived in a few words: sincere, earnest and loyal and your posting does well to point out those attributes…….thank you.
I, his many friends and the community will miss him. It seems far too many of us are meeting each other in the cemetery these days. Makes you put politics in the proper perspective doesn't it?
Sam Pratt March 21, 2019 at 4:43 PM
I won't pretend I didn't observe Doc saying many spiteful and even hateful things as an Alderman, helping to set a truly vicious tone for Hudson politics for many years. It's really too bad he didn't bring his other, more generous and placid personality to the Council chambers.

MEDIA RELEASE: : Animal Justice MP labels Nationals "Neanderthals" and calls on the Premier to remove John Barilaro and Adam Marshall from their offices over lack of action on animal protection
In a motion given to Upper House on Wednesday (June 23), MP for the Animal Justice Party Mark Pearson called on Premier Gladys Berejiklian to remove Nationals MP's John Barilaro and Adam Marshall from their office over their disregard of animal sentience.
"The New South Wales people, animals and the environment deserve better than the Neanderthals in the National Party that block every sensible reform," Mr Pearson said in his speech to the motion.
"They hold a retrograde view of animals more suited to the Cartesian thinking of the middle-ages than the scientific understanding of animal capabilities in the 21st Century."
Mr Pearson raised particular issues with Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional New South Wales, Industry and Trade, John Barilaro, and Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall.
"Not content with the regressive action of overturning the greyhound racing ban, The Hon John Barilaro then proceeded to take koala conservation back more than twenty-five years, thwarting the reformist efforts of his colleague the Hon Matt Kean," Mr Pearson said.
"The Minister for Agriculture, the Hon Adam Marshall, should be dismissed for failing to support even the most minimalist of animal protection initiatives. Surely in 2021 it is absolutely basic to legislate for mandatory pain relief for farmed animal procedures such as castration and mulesing, to ban puppy farming and to end the use of battery cages."
The Upper House divided equally on a vote of 16 ayes and 16 noes before the President of the Legislative Council Matthew Mason-Cox who gave his casting vote to defeat the motion.
The motion received the support of Labor, and on the provision of an amendment, the Greens.
The motion can be read in full below, with the full text of Mr Pearson's accompanying speech available on request
Elena Wewer – 0428 444 132
Mr Pearson to move—
(1) That this House congratulates the British government for committing to:
(a) make the United Kingdom a world leader in animal protection,
(b) introduce an Animal Sentience Bill that recognises the sentience of animals by enshrining in law that animals:
(i) are aware of their feelings and emotions,
(ii) can experience joy and pleasure, as well as pain and suffering,
(c) make the Animal Sentience Bill the centre-piece of the Queen's Speech in parliament, and
(d) end the live export of animals.
(2) That this House calls upon the Government to follow the United Kingdom's lead by including the recognition of animal sentience in their proposed new animal protection laws.
(3) That this House advises the Premier, the Honourable Gladys Berejiklian that she would be far more likely to reach the visionary and compassionate standard of the Queen if she were to remove the Deputy Premier, the Honourable John Barilaro
