Pharmacy on a Bicycle
Innovative Solutions for Global Health and Poverty
Eric Bing (Author) | Marc Epstein (Author)
This is a book about taking health care the last mile-sometimes literally-to prevent widespread, unnecessary, and easily avoided death and suffering.
Offers a creative, entrepreneurial approach to bringing lifesaving health care to those who need it most
Features real-world examples of this approach in action around the world
Coauthored by a prominent health-care expert and a leading business professor and copublished by the prestigious George W. Bush Institute
Every three minutes, nearly 50 children under the age of five dies. In the same three minutes, 2 mothers lose their lives in childbirth. Every year, malaria kills 655,000 people, despite the fact that it can be prevented with a mosquito net and treated for $1.41.
Sadly, this list goes on and on. Millions are dying from diseases that we can easily and inexpensively prevent, diagnose, and treat. Why? Because even though we know exactly what people need, we just can't get it to them. They are dying not because we can't solve a medical problem but because we can't solve a logistics problem.
In this profoundly important book, Eric Bing and Marc Epstein lay out a solution: a new kind of bottom-up health care that is delivered at the source. We need microclinics, micropharmacies, and microentrepreneurs located in the remote, hard-to-reach communities they serve. By building a new model that "scales down" to train and incentivize all kinds of health-care providers in their own villages and towns, we can create an army of on-site professionals who can prevent tragedy at a fraction of the cost of top-down bureaucratic programs.
Bing and Epstein have seen the model work, and they provide example after example of the extraordinary results it has achieved in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. They describe the principles and practices involved in implementing it and explain how to apply it to overcome specific health challenges.
This is a book about taking health care the last mile-sometimes literally-to prevent widespread, unnecessary, and easily avoided death and suffering. Pharmacy on a Bicycle shows how the same forces of innovation and entrepreneurship that work in first-world business cultures can be unleashed to save the lives of millions.

Why Pharmacy on a Bicycle
Dawa paced in front of Pemba's door, trying to hide his concern.1 He had run out of his medication, and Pemba had been kind enough to share his. Both men had been told to never stop taking their medications because HIV was a virus that could quickly develop resistance, and then the drugs would no longer work. Now Pemba was beginning to run out of his supply as well.
Dawa and Pemba were running low on medicine because a bandh, or strike, was making it impossible to get to the pharmacy. In Nepal, during a bandh, it was wise to avoid going out in a car, because if you did, you could get your tires slashed, your windows broken, or your vehicle set on fire. The bandh was in its second week, and the men had nowhere to turn once their medications ran out.
Crises stimulate action. In dire straits, we become innovative and entrepreneurial. Which is what happened in this case. The Saath-Saath Project, a local HIV program, partnered with a hospital and some community health workers to create a pharmacy-on-a-bicycle brigade. If the patients couldn't go to the pharmacy, then the pharmacy would go to them.
It was a risky proposition. Would the bandh enforcers respect the riders' mission? Nobody knew. But lives were at stake. That is why Suraj, a community health worker and person living with HIV himself, was one of the first to volunteer. Suraj set out early in the morning after loading his satchel with medications. By midday his pharmacy on a bicycle reached Dawa and Pemba right before their pills ran out. Because of quick thinking, a partnership, and a bicycle, Dawa and Pemba didn't miss a single dose. This simple solution may have saved their lives.
If all we had to worry about was the occasional strike, most of our problems in global health would be solved. But a bandh that lasted thirty-two days only exacerbated Nepal's problems of deep poverty and a population living in hard-to-reach areas. Such problems are found in many developing countries, and regardless of whether they are caused by instability, conflict, geography or cost, they make it difficult to bridge the "final mile in global health.
Over the last few decades the authors have examined health care in remote rural and dense urban settings across a variety of low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Some countries were stable, others were in civil war. We have spoken with presidents and health ministers, tribal leaders and CEOs, and patients and their families. We have worked alongside dedicated and compassionate clinicians doctors, nurses, community workers, and traditional healers and we have consulted with governments, businesses, NGOs, and donors. We have examined health care from a variety of perspectives, and we always reach the same conclusion:
Millions are dying of diseases we can easily and inexpensively prevent, diagnose, and treat.
Pharmacy on a Bicycle is a bold yet practical approach to alleviating problems in global health and poverty. Fortunately, we are not starting from scratch. There are many examples of successful programs that are already saving lives. We need to leverage these innovative and entrepreneurial solutions and create even more to save lives by increasing access, use, and quality of care, while reducing costs.
In Pharmacy on a Bicycle, we show how we can save lives while saving money through a seven-point approach we call IMPACTS (Figure 1). Here are the key components:
Figure 1 The IMPACTS Approach
Implementing the IMPACTS approach will help bring care to those who need it most.
How to Use This Book
This is a book about taking health care the last mile sometimes quite literally to a place that's accessible, in a way that's acceptable, and at a cost that's affordable.
In other words, this book is about solutions.
There are people and organizations already doing many things that work. Now we need to scale those models to reach the masses of people who deserve quality health care. What works may come from governments, NGOs, businesses, or donors. All are part of the solution to the problems we face, and all have a role to play.
Government. Governments can help create an environment, supported by sound policies, regulations, and resources, where basic, high-quality health care is expected. Ministries of health are the backbones of strong national health systems upon which services are built. Local and national government leadership and commitment are essential for success and financial sustainability.
Nongovernmental Organizations. NGOs, including faith-based organizations, have long provided essential health care, social services, and advocacy in developing countries throughout the world. They are critical to providing quality care in diverse and hard-to-reach communities.
Businesses. For-profit businesses offer not just resources but models of efficiency, innovation, entrepreneurship, and distribution: ways to create demand and reduce costs. In addition, local businesses, along with microenterprises, are often created and based within communities, and owners understand the local culture and needs. Microenterprises in health care, which include small clinics and pharmacies, can help distribute services and products to those in need. So too can traditional healers and traditional birth attendants, particularly in rural areas. For a variety of reasons, these smaller providers and traditional sectors may not be integrated into formal health care systems. But when given appropriate training, support, and oversight, they can help us complete the final mile.
Donors. International agencies, foreign governments, and foundations provide essential financial and technical support to country-led health programs. Such donors are essential to enable governments and local implementers to provide needed services.
Innovative partnerships that bring these sectors together can help save more lives. In addition, the approaches used by these sectors overlap and complement each other as they grow and evolve. For example:
Effective governments in many developing countries are now adopting sound internal business strategies and practices to manage public resources to deliver health services.
Many NGOs in low- and middle-income countries operate like businesses to ensure that their resources are effectively used and have real impact. Some NGOs are even creating for-profit spinoffs to enhance their chances of creating financially sustainable programs.
Businesses, large and small, seek not only to be financially profitable, but also to create social good in the countries where they work. This approach goes beyond corporate social responsibility it is part of their business model.
Donors are increasingly requiring recipients to reduce costs, demonstrate impact, and achieve greater financial sustainability once support ends.
These new, blended approaches are also helping to change the perceptions of target populations from beneficiaries to customers. This change in orientation recognizes that a patient is a customer and that the customer is in charge. All people, regardless of income, are customers of health products and services. When customers perceive little value in or encounter barriers to using a health product or service, it is likely that they won't use it even if it's free and potentially lifesaving. Our job, therefore, is to find innovative and entrepreneurial ways to motivate customers to use health products and services that can save their lives.
Pharmacy on a Bicycle is filled with practical examples of innovative and entrepreneurial solutions to health care delivery in a wide variety of settings in developing countries. While this book focuses on low- and middle-income countries, many elements are readily applicable to populations in higher-income countries as well.2 Innovation is much more than discovery; entrepreneurship is much more than maximizing profits. The innovator creates solutions. And the entrepreneur finds efficient, effective, and economical ways to get solutions to customers.
We encourage those readers who develop or manage health programs to read Pharmacy on a Bicycle with an entrepreneurial lens and find ways you and others can take some of these ideas to the next level to deliver health services. Regardless of your specialty, population, or setting, you may see a solution to a problem you're working on, even if it was developed to combat a different disease, for a different population, under different circumstances, or in a different country.
If you see a model that might work for you, try it. If you see a model that, with some modifications, might serve your needs, then change it. If you see several models you think could work well together, then combine them. And as with any other model, new or old, monitor it regularly and evaluate it periodically to ensure that it's producing the intended impact.
Regardless of your reason for reading this book, in presenting the IMPACTS approach and spotlighting successful real-world applications of its core points, we hope to activate your inner innovator and entrepreneur so that you can see existing solutions or create new solutions to the challenges you face.
We have divided the book into three sections:
Part 1: The Prescription includes four chapters that deal with the basics the essential ingredients, the model, and the core elements of our approach.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the issues, the IMPACTS approach, and the model that describes how to save millions of lives and billions of dollars in global health care.
Chapter 2 describes the roles innovation and entrepreneur-ship play in improving global health.
Chapter 3 describes how task shifting, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness, creating demand, and focusing on accountability can better deliver health services and products and improve outcomes.
Chapter 4 provides an overview of how to scale up interventions and the importance of coordinating the roles of partners to reach more people.
Part 2: IMPACTS in Motion provides three chapters of real-world applications of each point of the IMPACTS approach and how they are being used with different diseases and in different settings.
Chapter 5 focuses on applications in maternal and child health issues.
Chapter 6 reviews applications in some infectious diseases.
Chapter 7 discusses issues and applications to some noncommunicable diseases.
Part 3: Moving Forward includes two chapters that show you how to move to the next steps in order to better deliver quality care to those who need it most.
Chapter 8 discusses the importance of priorities, planning, and monitoring progress to save lives.
Chapter 9 explains how organizations can influence their settings and environments to improve impact and provides recommendations for future steps.
Each chapter in Parts 1 and 2 is concluded by "Food for Thought questions designed to help you discover ways to apply the concepts to your own setting. At the end of the book, you will find information on www.pharmacyonabicycle.com, a website where you can find and share additional innovative and entrepreneurial solutions for improving global health and alleviating poverty.
The organization of Pharmacy on a Bicycle will make it easy to find the important foundational components (Part 1: The Prescription), real-world applications (Part 2: IMPACTS in Motion), and recommendations for planning and next steps (Part 3: Moving Forward). How you choose to approach and combine them is up to you.
Now is the time. We can save lives by bringing low-cost, quality care to those who need it most, regardless of whether it is delivered by a community health worker on foot, by a doctor using telemedicine, by a nurse on a mobile phone, or by a pharmacy on a bicycle.

In this Ansel and Clair app your child becomes the owner of Green Island. They will learn what it takes to become good stewards of the environment while caring for the island and those that surround it.
Separate iPhone and iPad versions are available.
Nice quality graphics, sounds and background music make Little Green Island a pleasure. They provide a cheery learning environment.
Up to four user profiles can be created and managed easily from within the app.
The information section contains additional information, options for controlling sounds and background music, accessibility and protection of social media and external links, ability to delete user profiles and a Player Guide. The Player Guide provides a basic overview of how to use the app.
While Ansel and Clair do provide guidance throughout the app, the user interface is not always intuitive, even for adults. There are also times when the app does not allow enough time to complete the activity before it advances to the next activity.
Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck testing the separate iPhone version as I could not get it to work on my iPod. Each time it was opened, the app crashed. As of this time, we were not able to resolve the issue with the developer.
Little Green Island is an app with structured play and learning, but yet allows for exploring and free play. Ansel and Clair offer guidance to the user as each environmental problem is encountered. After completing all of the levels, the user can continue to earn green bucks and improve their surroundings.
The Clairvision Deeper Dive provides additional information that supports the activities in the app.
During the activities, children earn green bucks which are then used to purchase trees, landscape accents and environmental savers.
There is a fair amount of reading so children will need to be able to read or have a parent available to assist them. Most instructions are narrated initially, but cannot be touched to hear narration repeated.
The activities and structure of Little Green Island will require the user to stay engaged in the app; they flow from one to another. Ideally, the user would be given the proper time to complete all aspects of the task completely before the app advances to the next; such as being allowed to water the seeds just planted as required in the task.
Catchy little tunes about pollutants make it a fun way to learn what could otherwise be a very dry subject for kids. It presents it in a way that kids will be able to understand and remember.
The app's current introductory price of $1.99 is a fabulous price for an app such as this; Little Green Island is a nice quality app that makes learning about the environment fun.
Multiple user accounts extend the value of this app making it a reasonable purchase for schools and families, even at full price.
The developers have done an excellent job of protecting the users from social media and most external links by placing them in the information section and providing options to make them visible or not, when visible they are then protected.
With all of the terrific protection and options for the social media and external links, I was surprised to receive a ratings popup. The ratings popup does not belong in an area meant for children. It needs to be removed from the play area and should be added in the information section along with all of the other links for parents.


If you are interested in starting a successful home business so that you can make break from a job you loathe more with every passing day, you may want to consider learning about dropship with Amazon.
Dropshipping is probably the quickest, easiest and least costly of any ecommerce home business to get up and running, making money in a hurry. You don't have to buy any inventory, for starters, because you simply select the products you want to sell from your wholesale product source, then post the descriptions and images of those products furnished by the product supplier to your website or marketplace and you can start making sales right away; only paying for each product as it is sold and you have collected the money from your buyer.
So, dropshipping as a home business is a proven winner. Amazon is a proven winner, too!
Amazon and eBay are widely considered to be the two giants of ecommerce. Dropship sellers do well on either marketplace but Amazon is actually growing much faster than eBay, so if you have decided to put all of your dropship eggs into Amazon's basket you might have the right idea.
There is a ton of info available there to get you started and walk you through every step of the process. All of the selling options are laid out plainly and clearly, along with policies, information about the fee structure, payments and everything else you could possibly want or need to know about how to dropship with Amazon.
Bear in mind that Amazon doesn't care whether you are dropshipping or not. Their concern is that you ship products that are as described, promptly with secure packaging. So, as long as your wholesale product source is doing those things---Amazon doesn't give a fig who ships your products as they are sold.
Drop Ship Access has 1.9 million products available for you to start selling now! Why waste another day being miserable in a job that brings you low pay and high stress, when you could take the first step toward financial and personal freedom with a home business of your own? Let Drop Ship Access help you dropship Amazon today!
Hello I have to say that this was a great web page and very helpful I mite add. Please contact me i do have a few questions.
Like does amazon.com stop you from getting your money if the product has not been shipped?
I am interested in starting an online business. would appreciate your help.
Thank you for your positive feedback on the article.
If you sell a product on Amazon.com, you are responsible for delivering that product to your customer. If you are working with a drop shipping company like DropShipAccess.com, then you are delegating DropShipAccess.com to ship to your customer on your behalf.
If you sell a product to your customer, you are responsible for getting the product to your customer. DropShipAccess tracks all packages so that you and DSA can verify that your customer received the package and you can give that tracking to your customer as well.
If you sold a product and your customer does not receive the product, you have broken your agreement with that customer. In this case at minimum you are obligated to give the customer his money back. If you work with a reputable DropShip company like DropShipAccess, this does not happen and you have proof that the package was shipped by the tracking number.
Amazon will not allow you to receive your money if you did not provide the goods. But you shouldn't want the money if you did not provide the goods.
Remember to treat all your customers really well and always deliver as promised. Be sure to work with a reputable dropshipping company that will do the same on your behalf.
I'm glad that you are interested in starting your online business. I would be happy to help you. Please email me at support (at) dropshipaccess.com . I would like to hear more about you and your specific needs and see how I can help you.

Usually I hate layering, but something about winter, just puts me in the spirit. I love how versatile sweaters are, especially this one! You can never go wrong with elbow patches, at least that's what I always say.
There are lots of different ways to layer. What's your favorite?

Die Uredie oder das Uredium ist eine Form des Sporenlagers bei Rostpilzen (Pucciniales). Sie tritt als dikaryonte Nebenfruchtform bei einigen Arten auf und dient in erster Linie der räumlichen Verbreitung der Pilze, die sich als Endoparasiten von pflanzlichen Stoffwechselprodukten ernähren. Uredien bestehen aus einem zweikernigen Myzel und bilden meist rundliche, stachelige Uredosporen aus, die sofort keimfähig sind. Im Entwicklungszyklus der Rostpilze folgen Uredien auf Spermogonien und Aecien, aus deren Sporen sie entstehen. Ihre Sporen bilden wiederum den Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung von Telien, in denen es zur geschlechtlichen Vermehrung kommt. Wo andere Sporenlager nicht bekannt sind oder sich nicht klar unterscheiden lassen, dienen Uredien der taxonomischen Einordnung von Rostpilzarten.

Entwicklung und Aufbau

Uredien bestehen aus einem zwischen den Wirtszellen verankerten, zweikernigen Myzel, das aus Aeciosporen keimt. Sie wachsen auf dem Hauptwirt der jeweiligen Pilzart, also derjenigen Wirtspflanze, auf der auch die Telien entstehen. Die von ihnen produzierten zweikernigen Uredosporen sind meist rundlich, einzellig und stachelwarzig. Wo Haupt- und Nebenwirt identisch sind, sind sie teilweise nicht von den Aeciosporen unterscheidbar, weshalb die Mykologie dort von aecidioiden Uredosporen spricht. In der Regel dienen Uredosporen lediglich der Verbreitung des Pilzmyzels: Sie werden relativ schnell produziert und sind ohne zusätzliche Befruchtung oder Ruhephase keimfähig, wodurch der Pilz rasch weitere Pflanzen besiedeln kann. Vereinzelt treten aber auch besonders große und dickwandige Sporen auf, die vor allem der Überdauerung von Frost oder Trockenheit dienen und als Amphisporen bezeichnet werden. Die Uredosporen keimen wiederum in einem zweikernigen Myzel, aus dem sich entweder neue Uredien oder aber Telien entwickeln. Telien können aber auch aus dem gleichen Myzel entstehen, das zuvor bereits Uredosporen produziert hat. Die in den Telien produzierten Teliosporen sind der Ort der Karyogamie und Meiose, die den Entwicklungszyklus des Pilzes abschließen. Uredien sind, anders als Spermogonien, Aecien und Telien, für die Entwicklung eines Rostpilzes nicht zwingend nötig und fehlen daher bei einigen Arten.

Taxonomische Bedeutung
Uredien sind für die taxonomische Einordnung der Rostpilzarten weniger bedeutend als die Telien oder Aecien. Wo letztere unbekannt sind, dienen sie jedoch der Unterscheidung der diversen Arten, die dann in die Anamorphen-Formgattung Uredo gestellt werden. Zudem können sie ein wichtiges Unterscheidungskriterium darstellen, wenn sich andere Sporenlager verschiedener Arten so stark ähneln, dass sie sich morphologisch nicht unterscheiden lassen.

The U.S. Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari in Brumfield v. Cain, a death penalty case from Louisiana dealing with intellectual disability. Kevan Brumfield was sentenced to death prior to the Court's decision in Atkins v. Virginia (2002), which banned the execution of defendants with intellectual disabilities. After that ruling, Brumfield filed a claim of intellectual disability in state court. The court denied him a hearing because the trial transcript showed no evidence of his disability. A federal district court found that the state court had "mistakenly – and unreasonably– considered the record from Petitioner's pre-Atkins penalty phase as determinative of Petitioner's mental retardation claim under Atkins," granted Brumfield a hearing, and found him to be intellectually disabled and therefore exempt from execution. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the federal district court's decision. Brumfield's attorneys said, "As a result of this decision, the compelling evidence presented to the district court will be ignored, and a person who was found to be mentally retarded will be executed." The Supreme Court will determine whether Brumfield should have been granted a hearing on his claim of intellectual disability.
The U.S. Supreme Court will begin its 2014-15 term on October 6. One of the cases the Court will hear during its first month is Jennings v. Stephens, a Texas death penalty case involving ineffectiveness of counsel and whether a separate appeal is necessary for each such claim. Oral arguments will take place on October 15. The Court has been asked to review an appeal from Scott Panetti, another death row inmate from Texas, who may be mentally incompetent. Last year, the Supreme Court struck down Florida's strict IQ cutoff for determining intellectual disability. In that case, Hall v. Florida, the Court concluded that "Florida's law contravenes our Nation's commitment to dignity and its duty to teach human decency as the mark of a civilized world."
Scott Panetti is a death row inmate in Texas, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and believes he is at the center of a struggle between God and Satan. The state has continued to insist he is competent to be executed. Panetti represented himself at his trial, appearing in court wearing a cowboy outfit and making bizarre, rambling statements. He attempted to subpoena Jesus Christ, the pope, and 200 others. He was convicted and sentenced to death. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Panetti a rehearing on his claim of incompetence, saying that the state's definition of insanity was too restrictive. The state has maintained that because Panetti acknowledges he is being executed for the murder of his in-laws, he is sane enough to be executed. Pointing to the testimony of psychiatric experts, his lawyers have argued the state's simple cause-and-effect criterion is insufficient to establish sanity, especially considering that Panetti views his crime through a lens of delusion. They have asked the Supreme Court to again consider the case, arguing that the state's definition is still overly restrictive and ignores the complete picture presented by Panetti's history of serious mental illness.
In a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, eight retired judges recently asked the Court to review the case of Texas death row inmate Rodney Reed. Reed is scheduled to be executed in January 2015. While the judges, who served on federal and state courts in many jurisdictions around the country, did not take a stance on Reed's innocence claims, they urged the Court to hear his appeal so that new evidence in the case could be examined under the light of cross-examination in a full hearing, rather than just through the review of legal papers. "That is not how our system of justice is designed to operate," the judges said. "When courts have only affidavits without witness testimony, they lack the means of testing the accuracy, reliability, competence, scientific acumen, proper training and judgment of the [person testifying]." Reed is claiming that his trial lawyers did not adequately investigate forensic evidence that experts now say might be unreliable. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit rejected Reed's appeal because they found the new testimony unpersuasive as presented in appellate briefs. The eight judges who petitioned the Supreme Court said the evidence should have been heard by a district judge in an evidentiary hearing, rather than by the appeals court. "Trial courts are the appropriate venue for developing a factual record and resolving questions of fact," they said. See list of judges below.
The theory of the modern death penalty is that it is to be reserved for the "worst of the worst" offenders. In 2005 the U.S. Supreme Court determined (Roper v. Simmons) that those under age 18 at the time of their crime were less culpable than older defendants and should be excluded from the possibility of execution. However, a recent paper by Hollis Whitson (l.) argued that scientific research on older adolescents implied that the Court's analysis should also apply to those under 21. Whitson cited neuroscience research showing, "that older adolescents (including 18-20 year-olds) differ from adults in ways that both diminish their culpability and impair the reliability of the sentencing process." Moreover, youths under 21 are treated as minors by numerous state and federal statutes, including liquor laws, inheritance laws, and eligibility for commercial drivers' licenses. Another problem highlighted in the paper is that minority youth suffer from the application of this punishment more than white youths. From 2000 to 2014, 60% of those executed for crimes committed by 18-20 year-olds were racial minorities, while only 40% were white. For defendants aged 21 and older, the reverse was true: 40% of those executed were minorities, while 60% were white.
UPDATE: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of execution, pending the outcome of a review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. The Court further noted: "We leave for further consideration in the lower courts whether an evidentiary hearing is necessary."
Earlier: On May 20, just hours before a scheduled execution in Missouri, the U.S. Supreme Court, acting through Justice Samuel Alito, granted a temporary stay to Russell Bucklew. Bucklew has a congenital medical condition that impedes his breathing and presents a grave risk of a very painful death by lethal injection. He was to be executed at midnight on May 21, but a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued a stay on the evening of May 20, saying his "unrebutted medical evidence demonstrates the requisite sufficient likelihood of unnecessary pain and suffering beyond the constitutionally permissible amount inherent in all executions." That stay was lifted by the full 8th Circuit, but reinstated by the Supreme Court without comment.


Help your younger cope with something he or she couldn't handle earlier, then stride back to the seat and watch the movie change. Play the same scene in your head, but this time watch as your younger self handles the same situation with utter confidence. When you have done that, you should walk back to the screen and congratulate your younger self, give him or her a hug for breaking free of the phobia or trauma or fear. Then pull that younger self back inside of you, knowing he or she is more resourceful than ever before and an important part of your life. Do this with several other phobias you have. Then do the same thing for someone else.
This can be an incredibly powerful experience. Mr.H is able to take people with terrible lifelong phobias and free them of their fears, many times in a matter of minutes. Why does this work? because to go into a phobic state requires specific internal representation. If you change those representations, you will change the state that person creates when he thinks of that experience.
For some people a number of these exercises involve a level of mental discipline and imaginative power they may not previously have accessed. As a result several of the mental strategies you may feel awkward at first, your brain can operate in these ways, and if you work carefully on these strategies, you will more adept all the time.
One important thing to remember about reframing is that all human behaviors have a purpose in some context. If you smoke, you don't do it because you like to put carcinogens into your lungs. You do it because smoking makes you feel relaxed or more comfortable in certain social situations. You adopted this behavior to create some gain for yourself. So in some cases you may find it impossible to reframe the behavior without confronting the underlying need that the behavior fulfills. This is a problem that sometimes comes up when people try electroshock therapy to cure their smoking. Perhaps they might be shocked into something just as bad, like feeling anxious all the time or overeating. I'm not saying this approach is bad. I'm simply saying it's useful for us to discover the unconscious intent so that we can fill that need more elegantly.
All human behavior is adaptive in one way or another. It's designed to fill a need. It's no problem to make people hate smoking. But make sure that they are created for them new behavioral choices that will fill their needs without negative side effects, such as those created by smoking. If smoking made them feel relaxed, confident, or centered, they need to come up with a more elegant behavior that will fulfill the same need.
2)	Establish communication with the part of your unconscious mind that generates the behavior. Go inside and ask the following question of yourself, remaining alertly passive to detect and report any changes in body sensations, visual images, or sounds that occur as a response to your questions. The question is, Will the part of me that generates behavior X be willing to communicate with me in consciousness?
Now ask that part, we'll call it part X, to intensify that signal when it wants to communicate yes, and to diminish it when it wants to communicate no. Now test the responses by asking the party to communicate yes and then no so that you can distinguish between the two responses.
3)	Separate intention from behavior: Thank the part for its willingness to cooperate with you. Now ask it if it would be willing to let you know what it's been trying to do for generating behavior X. As you ask that question, once again be alert to detect a yes or no response. Take note of what benefits this behavior has provided for you in the past and then thank that part of you for maintaining these important benefits for you.
4)	Creating alternative behaviors to satisfy intention: Now go inside and contact the most creative part of you and ask it to generate three alternative behaviors that are just as good as or better than behaviors X for satisfying the intention of the part we've been communicating with. Have your creative part signal you with a yes signal when it has generated the three new behaviors. Now ask the creative part if it would be willing a reveal to you the three new behaviors are.
5)	Have part X accept the new choices and the responsibility for generating them when needed. Now ask part X if the three new behaviors are at last s effective as behavior X. Now ask part X if it's to accept responsibility for generating the new behaviors in appropriate situations its intention needs to be fulfilled.
6)	Make an ecological check: Now go inside and ask if there are any parts that object to the negotiations that have just taken place or if all parts agree to support you. Then step into the future and imagine a situation that would have triggered the old behavior, and experience using one of your new choices and still achieving benefits you desire. Step into another situation in the future that would have been a trigger to the undesirable behavior, and experience using another one of your new choices.
Personal Relationships @ Workplace– Harmful??


Here are 10 tips on directing a Low Budget Music Video. These tips may not always apply to every situation or concept, but they may prove helpful one way or another. They are broken down into the key departments of a production to make them easier to understand.
· A small crew travels fast, so use as few crew members as possible. Hire those that are diverse in their talents and can work several jobs simultaneously. A good example is a Production Assistant who does craft service or a makeup artist who handles wardrobe.
· Look for crew members who are ambitious and looking to establish advanced production credits, such as an art assistant who wants to art direct, a loader who wants to pull focus or a grip who wants to become a gaffer. People like these will work for less and usually give the job their best effort.
· Find people who are willing to volunteer their services to gain experience. It never hurts to have an extra set of hands on the set.
· Network with organizations such as the MVPA. This is an excellent way to develop new working relationships within the music video community. These organizations have access to a number of resources and crew personnel who might be willing to work together with you.
· If you have the knowledge, try to shoot and edit your project. Developing your skills as a DP or editor will gain you a wealth of knowledge as a Director while saving you thousands on your project.
· Utilize locations that are private, free or require a minimal permit expense. Don't risk getting caught without a permit. You may not afford to have your production held up or rescheduled, your camera package confiscated and fines in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. You may even be placed on a list at the film permit office that could inevitably blackball you as a location poacher. Meaning that you may have to pay for additional set monitors on upcoming shoots, or worse, you may be restricted from securing future permits altogether. Most city/county/state permitting fees are relatively inexpensive if you are able to keep your crew and equipment to a minimum. Obtaining a permit would probably avoid a lot of embarrassment and trouble down the road.
· Always look for other options that may be available. For instance, your client may have access to a property that you can use for free or for a minimal cost. Maybe you can dress up a few insert shots in your own backyard.
· Avoid building complicated sets and backdrops. They are expensive and quite costly to light. For that matter, shooting interiors can be equally expensive to light, but at times unavoidable.
· Scout your own locations whenever possible. Pulling a film permit is not as complicated as it sounds and location scouts/managers can sometimes run up quite a tab. It is not hard to do it yourself. It saves you money and the satisfaction you will receive from knowing you have exhausted every resource to find that perfect location can be highly rewarding. Many film permit offices house a library of available locations or check with your local chamber of commerce or City/State/Federal government. They will often supply you with maps that can be used to find unknown locations with just a little extra effort. The Bureau of Land Management can also prove to be an excellent source for locations. They are a Federal Agency that governs both used and unused public land throughout the country.
· When working with lighting and grip, try to work out package deals from private parties who own their own grip, lighting and generator equipment. Some small vendors will even provide such things as video assist or location playback sound for free just to establish new clientele.
· Utilize inexpensive lighting resources such as natural light when at all possible. Try building your own reflector boards from supplies found at your local Home Depot or you can even make low budget Kino-Flos from inexpensive fluorescent banks or shop lights.
· Camera gear can sometimes be secured with those who own their own packages. They will often rent cheaper than a camera house and may even DP, operate or 1st AC on your project.
· Many things can be easily substituted with makeshift solutions. For example, an audio playback system complete with time code reference can be easily made from a number of stereo components or musical P.A. gear. All that's required is a little ingenuity and effort. With any two stereo channels, you can easily layback a mono mix of the audio intended for playback while reserving the second channel for code. If a T.C. slate isn't available, record to your source and then play back the window burn on a TV monitor. A laptop computer can also be substituted for the smart-slate or TV for more remote possibilities.
· In some instances, equipment can be purchased for a little than the cost of a rental. If you intend to use such an item repeatedly over time, it may be beneficial to purchase it for future use.
· Talent and Wardrobe are typically separate departments, but for the low budget video it works out rather well when the two are working together. Ask talent to bring their own clothes to the casting call with the extra incentive of giving them a wardrobe allowance to use their own rags. Many times they will take that allowance and purchase new clothes for the shoot anyway, just to look their best. The artist can often provide their own stage wardrobe, but if they are looking for something new or different you may have to shop for the wardrobe yourself. One approach is to purchase as many appropriate items as you can, be careful to avoid damaging items during the fitting and then return any unused items after the shoot.
· Do your own casting. You're bound to learn a lot about directing talent and you're more likely to make accurate decisions in your final choices. To avoid costly agency fees, use the Internet to find talent willing to be in a music video. Make sure you screen them carefully. If your budget is very tight, offer a copy of the completed video as an additional incentive or compensation. That promised copy for their show-reel can carry a lot of weight in negotiating their pay. Advertising for free talent is not always recommended. Paying what you can afford helps to guarantee enthusiasm on long shoot schedules and sometimes even their attendance. People working for free sometimes don't feel as obligated as the ones you're paying.
· As for extras, try to utilize the artist's following (fans) or simply flyer an area that is demographically correct just before your shoot date. Usually the local community college grounds will suffice.
· This is a very broad area of the music video process since it deals with so many factors regarding the individual concept. When possible, focus your concept around the most simplistic of ideas; you won't need to spend a lot on props and art direction. For example, what if your ideas centered around shooting an artist in a cardboard box or a simple unique backdrop? Or perhaps you have other talents that lend themselves to the art direction process such as painting, sculpture or 3D animation. You may actually be able to use things around the house. A little spray-paint, a little glue, some smoke and mirrors and the next thing you know you've got something that looks unusual and interesting on camera. All animated and affected in After Effects with amazingly wonderful results. Substitute the money you would spend on props with sparks from your own imagination.
For example: Say you want to burn a grand piano on a salt flat in the desert. A grand piano could cost you thousands. Instead, you rent a functional piano for your close-ups and performance shots, and then bring in a junk piano that bares the same paint job for the fire scenes. Shoot it wide so nobody can tell it's not the same piano. You end up with a very effective idea captured on film that looks like you spent big bucks. You can probably find a junk piano for three hundred dollars at a piano repair shop or in some local penny saver newspaper. You may even find one for free if you are willing to pay to haul it away.
· Short-ends or buy-back (leftover film stock from other shoots) are good ways to purchase film stock cheap. You can purchase such stock directly from shoots that are nearing completion or from film brokers such as ShortEnz or Dr. Rawstock. Sometimes Kodak and Fuji will donate film or give discounts to students and young filmmakers. A little begging may be involved, but you may find their generosity to be quite rewarding.
· There are other filmmaking foundations that will on occasion buy your film stock for you as well, but you will have to invest time to research and pursue them.
· Some labs will give considerable discounts if you can convince them your project is on a student level.
· Always shop around. You'll find you can save a considerable amount of money on what is virtually an identical procedure no matter where you go.
· Telecine is a bit more of a fragile process. Deals can be negotiated, but with coloring as such a crucial step in the post process it's always a good idea to know what equipment you're actually working on and the colorist you are working with.
· Purchasing your own stock can save you money as well, but keep in mind that if a problem arose from a bad piece of tape stock (though extremely rare), the post house involved would not likely take responsibility for the time lost in recreating your project. Degaussed stock should never be used as a means of saving money. The risk is too great to outweigh the money saved.
· Find a way to make your own dubs. Rent a deck or simply ask to borrow what you need for a few hours.
· Editing bares yet another creative learning curve, but with such programs as Final Cut Pro and After Effects so readily available, it's simply a matter of days to teaching yourself the basics to editing or compositing video. The rest will come with time and persistence.
· The cost of insuring a production is extremely high. In recent years those figures have gone exceedingly higher with insurance riders costing well near the price of the rentals themselves on a low budget production. One way to sidestep this high cost is to piggyback with a production company who is already carrying an annual policy. They will usually welcome the additional revenue it brings. Some companies will even carry you for free if you pay the deductible up front as a show of good faith. Either way you will wind up with better coverage at a cheaper price. Some carriers won't even insure short term policies anymore, especially if you mention things such as animals, children, stunts, helicopters or anything to do with fire. Whatever you do, don't shoot without insurance! Though the likelihood is small, there are a million things that can go wrong, putting your production at risk. There are alternatives to securing the proper insurance, so do yourself a favor and research them.
· Try taking care of the little things on your own in advance, such as craft service or audio playback. There are many inexpensive solutions for these small, but important roles in a music video production set.
· Watch out for hidden costs such as; prep for telecine, setup time, contingencies, agency fees, special insurance, overtime, kit fees, etc. Always question what it will cost to avoid the surprise of a big bill at the end of the session. Know what you are buying or renting for your money.
· Know when it is appropriate to cut corners. Sometimes cutting corners in the wrong places will actually cost you more time and money while producing lesser results.
· Be efficient. Use storyboards and shot-lists to organize your shoot. A well-managed shoot will help to avert costly overages while providing an enhanced working experience. Preparing solid production notes in advance can also prove to be a big benefit on the set.
· Forfeit your Directing fees if at all possible on the first few gigs. It proves your dedication to the project on an artistic level and will gain your respect with the label.
· Even though this does not fall under the production category, it is an essential requirement in this very aggressively competitive marketplace.
· Research your ideas thoroughly before executing them. A botched video project rarely goes unnoticed and may even cost you a re-shoot. It may also cost you any future jobs by that client. There are tons of reference materials available in bookstores, online and everywhere around you.
– Need a location? Look in the backs of map-books under "Points of Interest".
– Need a Llama? Don't bother with expensive animal rental companies. Look in your local phonebook for petting zoos or maybe even private owners.
· By being resourceful you will always save money.
· By educating yourself you simply improve your chances as a Director. MVCI is just one of many film school options available out there. Take advantage of your options. Student discounts, free equipment, expert supervision. You may actually have more to gain than if you had done it on your own.
There are thousands of other shortcuts available for directing a low budget video and you will discover them and many more on your production. This is merely a sampling of ideas, designed to communicate the inspiration for resourceful directing and producing.

«Kickstart My Heart» es un sencillo del grupo de heavy metal Mötley Crüe, nominada a los premios Grammy. Es considerada como la canción más famosa e insignia de la banda. Salió originalmente en su quinto álbum de estudio de 1989 llamado Dr. Feelgood. La canción fue escrita por Nikki Sixx acerca de su famosa sobredosis en la cual fue declarado clínicamente muerto antes de ser reanimado con dos dosis de adrenalina en el corazón. Su sobredosis se dio en 1987 cuando Mötley Crüe salió de gira junto a Guns N' Roses. La misma tuvo lugar en el cuarto de hotel del mítico guitarrista de los Guns, Slash, aunque este no tuvo que ver con la situación de Nikki.

El videoclip fue grabado en el club nocturno Whisky A-Go-Go durante el calentamiento previo a embarcarse en el tour de Dr. Feelgood. El comediante Sam Kinison fue la estrella invitada haciendo un cameo como el conductor del grupo.

Versiones por otros artistas
La canción ha sido versionada en varias ocasiones por grupos de distintos géneros, generalmente citando a Mötley Crüe como influencia, entre estas versiones se encuentran artistas como:
 Asking Alexandria
 Testament
 Slaughter
 Krack falls
 Shut up!!
 The Fallen
 Black Veil Brides (en algunos de sus conciertos en vivo)
 Diversos artistas underground de todo el mundo

Set in a fictional Kenyan law school, the novel surrounds twin brothers CJ and Tuma, who chase a fairly unstable girl, Hera. This unwelcome love triangle is further complicated by Cheptoo, a young woman the trio could have grown up knowing. As a first timer, the author has avidly touched the surface of almost every issue that confronts our beloved country. Irene refreshingly deviates from stereotype in this book, capturing the Kenya scene of the 21st century as it affects the young generation. She gives her readers an enjoyable safari through different terrain. Without giving the game away, I want to add that the novel is a very cleverly contrived plot with an easy flow of words. I found Irene's work an interesting read; I am sure it will prove equally attractive to her readers. Kenya indeed has a talented and promising writer.
Irene Assumpter Sumi is Kenyan author based in Australia.

A: The first issue I notice here is that you don't have a value attribute on the mat-options. This is why the selected country does not stay selected. To solve that, add the [value]="country" binding on the mat-option (same goes for the other dropdowns as well).
Secondly, there does not seem to be any change event emitted by the mat-select. Looking at the docs I supposed you are looking for the valueChange event instead.

  <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
    <mat-label>Country</mat-label>
    <mat-select [(ngModel)]="selectedCountry" (valueChange)="changeCountry($event)">
      <mat-option *ngFor="let country of Countries" [value]="country">{{
        country.name
      }}</mat-option>
    </mat-select>
  </mat-form-field>

  <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
    <mat-label>State</mat-label>
    <mat-select (valueChange)="changeState($event)">
      <mat-option *ngFor="let state of states" [value]="state">{{ state.name }}</mat-option>
    </mat-select>
  </mat-form-field>

  <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
    <mat-label>City</mat-label>
    <mat-select>
      <mat-option *ngFor="let city of cities" [value]="city">{{ city }}</mat-option>
    </mat-select>
  </mat-form-field>

The event handlers can also be a bit simpler:
changeCountry(country: any) {
  this.states = country.states;
  this.cities = [];
}

changeState(state: any) {
  this.cities = state.cities;
}

This is an experimental plugin that is still in the early stages of
development. It will batch up all of the Points in one Put request to
Kinesis. This should save the number of API requests by a considerable level.

## About Kinesis

This is not the place to document all of the various Kinesis terms however it
maybe useful for users to review Amazons official documentation which is
available
[here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesis/latest/dev/key-concepts.html).

## Amazon Authentication

This plugin uses a credential chain for Authentication with the Kinesis API
endpoint. In the following order the plugin will attempt to authenticate.

1. Web identity provider credentials via STS if `role_arn` and
   `web_identity_token_file` are specified
1. Assumed credentials via STS if `role_arn` attribute is specified (source
   credentials are evaluated from subsequent rules)
1. Explicit credentials from `access_key`, `secret_key`, and `token` attributes
1. Shared profile from `profile` attribute
1. [Environment Variables][1]
1. [Shared Credentials][2]
1. [EC2 Instance Profile][3]

If you are using credentials from a web identity provider, you can specify the
session name using `role_session_name`. If left empty, the current timestamp
will be used.

[1]: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/wiki/configuring-sdk#environment-variables
[2]: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/wiki/configuring-sdk#shared-credentials-file
[3]: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.

[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md

## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Configuration for the AWS Kinesis output.
[[outputs.kinesis]]
  ## Amazon REGION of kinesis endpoint.
  region = "ap-southeast-2"

  ## Amazon Credentials
  ## Credentials are loaded in the following order
  ## 1) Web identity provider credentials via STS if role_arn and web_identity_token_file are specified
  ## 2) Assumed credentials via STS if role_arn is specified
  ## 3) explicit credentials from 'access_key' and 'secret_key'
  ## 4) shared profile from 'profile'
  ## 5) environment variables
  ## 6) shared credentials file
  ## 7) EC2 Instance Profile
  #access_key = ""
  #secret_key = ""
  #token = ""
  #role_arn = ""
  #web_identity_token_file = ""
  #role_session_name = ""
  #profile = ""
  #shared_credential_file = ""

  ## Endpoint to make request against, the correct endpoint is automatically
  ## determined and this option should only be set if you wish to override the
  ## default.
  ##   ex: endpoint_url = "http://localhost:8000"
  # endpoint_url = ""

  ## Kinesis StreamName must exist prior to starting telegraf.
  streamname = "StreamName"

  ## The partition key can be calculated using one of several methods:
  ##
  ## Use a static value for all writes:
  #  [outputs.kinesis.partition]
  #    method = "static"
  #    key = "howdy"
  #
  ## Use a random partition key on each write:
  #  [outputs.kinesis.partition]
  #    method = "random"
  #
  ## Use the measurement name as the partition key:
  #  [outputs.kinesis.partition]
  #    method = "measurement"
  #
  ## Use the value of a tag for all writes, if the tag is not set the empty
  ## default option will be used. When no default, defaults to "telegraf"
  #  [outputs.kinesis.partition]
  #    method = "tag"
  #    key = "host"
  #    default = "mykey"

  ## Data format to output.
  ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
  ## more about them here:
  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
  data_format = "influx"

  ## debug will show upstream aws messages.
  debug = false
```

For this output plugin to function correctly the following variables must be
configured.

* region
* streamname

### region

The region is the Amazon region that you wish to connect to. Examples include
but are not limited to

* us-west-1
* us-west-2
* us-east-1
* ap-southeast-1
* ap-southeast-2

### streamname

The streamname is used by the plugin to ensure that data is sent to the correct
Kinesis stream. It is important to note that the stream *MUST* be pre-configured
for this plugin to function correctly. If the stream does not exist the plugin
will result in telegraf exiting with an exit code of 1.

### partitionkey [DEPRECATED]

This is used to group data within a stream. Currently this plugin only supports
a single partitionkey.  Manually configuring different hosts, or groups of hosts
with manually selected partitionkeys might be a workable solution to scale out.

### use_random_partitionkey [DEPRECATED]

When true a random UUID will be generated and used as the partitionkey when
sending data to Kinesis. This allows data to evenly spread across multiple
shards in the stream. Due to using a random partitionKey there can be no
guarantee of ordering when consuming the data off the shards.  If true then the
partitionkey option will be ignored.

### partition

This is used to group data within a stream. Currently four methods are
supported: random, static, tag or measurement

#### random

This will generate a UUIDv4 for each metric to spread them across shards.  Any
guarantee of ordering is lost with this method

#### static

This uses a static string as a partitionkey.  All metrics will be mapped to the
same shard which may limit throughput.

#### tag

This will take the value of the specified tag from each metric as the
partitionKey.  If the tag is not found the `default` value will be used or
`telegraf` if unspecified

#### measurement

This will use the measurement's name as the partitionKey.

### format

The format configuration value has been designated to allow people to change the
format of the Point as written to Kinesis. Right now there are two supported
formats string and custom.

#### string

String is defined using the default Point.String() value and translated to
[]byte for the Kinesis stream.

#### custom

Custom is a string defined by a number of values in the FormatMetric() function.

Deep analysis of Triton's 5e and explore: This is the tritons considered as an outsider race which is native to the seas and hails from the elementary plane of water.
They guard the depths of the oceans, building some small settlements beside deep trenches and even some other dangerous spots far from the land which is bounded to the folk's eye. triton 5e race will be helpful in the d&d game.
These are very good relations with giant sea horses, sea lions and hippocampus. The triton 5e is to enter the world centuries ago in response to the increasing threat of evil elements.
They are the one to wage a lot of wars against their enemies on the plane of water, driving them in the dark depths where they ran into the crushing pressures and darkness. It's the Triton 5th edition which will explore their olden and elemental enemies that had grown down silent.
Dark vision: Adapted into the dark and dreary environment of the shadowfell, tritons can view in low lights very well. From the dark mild, they may seem like if it were low light. Tritons in darkness can not perceive colours.
ThickSkin: Adapted for shadowfell's swamps, you've immunity and any deficiency brought on by surroundings is ignored by you. You may not take toxin ailments.
Control Earth And Water: With this trait, you are able to throw poison spray. And at the starting of 3rd degree, you can cast a stone shape. Moreover, beginning at 5th level, you can cast a wall of water. After using this attribute you can not cast with it. For these charms, Charisma is your ability.
As per some researchers, the triton 5e statistics manages to be of medium size with humanoid types and is usually lawful in alignment.
It bears a dark vision with an average lifespan of 200 years and is favoured with a temperate climate. The favoured terrain is aquatic with its height ranging till 5 feet and has a silver or silver-blue skin colour.
With the in-depth expedition being revealed saying sahuagin, krakens and the very bad foes had escaped the water plane with the reason for the material plane. triton barbarian 5e available here.
This is totally being inspired by the spirit of duty and responsibility. But the Tritons are not at all allowed to permit their enemies to escape so easily. It's a great conclave of those to choose volunteers who are skilled in magic and weapons as part of an expeditionary force to enter the material plane and search out for their foes.
Those Tritons spread to the ocean of the world. They establish protectorates to watch over the deep sea trenches, undersea caves and portals and many more. They have defeated their enemies after finding them and concealed the rest.
When these enemies banished to the deep reach of the sea, it was Triton who settled to see for any sign of their return. The Tritons built outposts to create trade with other races by extending their stewardship over the sea floor from their initial settlements.
This was done despite the expansion; there are only some who really know them. This is the importance of the triton 5e which explains its priority.
Since a long century, it was the first tritons that entered the material plane in response to the growing threat of evil elementals.
They established the settlements around portals to the elemental planes and served as the ocean's protectors. Now recently a new group of Tritons have crossed over to this plane.
Having spent significantly more time in the elemental plane of water than their kin, these tritons carry a perfect power of the elemental water in their blood.
Despite their off-putting manners, tritons are benevolent creatures at heart, convinced that other civilized races which deserve their protection. Its attitude might grate, but when the pirate's fleet prowls the waves or a Kraken awakens from its slumber, they are among the first to take up arms to protect others. It's the tritons which are readily sacrificing for the common good. They are true fighters for humans, merfolk and other creatures who also don't deny dying for them to pay it.
At the time of their fervour and ignorance of the world that can lead them astray. The Tritons encounter other creatures for the first time and can underestimate them, leaving the tritons vulnerable to the deception. With their strong martial tradition, tritons can sometimes be too eager to leap into a fight.
Through an isolated environment, most of the Tritons have never been to the surface world. They struggle with the idea that they can't easily move up and down out of the water with the changing of the season mystifies them. The Tritons also find a variety of social institutions, kingdoms and other customers bewildering.
It's their culture which makes them feel proud and makes them remain innocent of the surface world. The typical triton protectorate is tightly regimented, organized and unified around a common cause. It's the Triton on the surface which becomes a struggle with the idea that they easily move up and down out of the water and changing of the seasons mystifies there. Those Tritons have also found a variety of social institutions, kingdoms and custom bewildering.
For all their proud culture, they remain innocent of the surface world. The typical triton protectorate which is tightly regimented organized and unified around a common cause.
The Triton on the surface becomes easily confused by the bewildering array of alliances, rivalries and petty grievances which prevent the surface folk from truly unifying.
At its worst, tritons arrogance compounds the tendency for the Triton, not to understand the ways of the surface world. It's easy for a triton to blame baffling social practices on what the triton perceives as a barbarism with weakness or cowardice of surface folk.
These champions are good mean quite well. Still, they are easily frustrated by others. You can also select, roll or adopt a triton specific quirk from the triton quirk table with the information that portrays your character.
The Tritons mean well far from flawless but they are paranoids of others. They are an aquatic humanoid creature which is loosely based on the merman god Triton from the Greek mythology. The Tritons are usually neutron in alignment and the neutral enemies of the sahuagin.
Most of the Tritons have never been to the surface world. They think that out the water they cannot move up and down easily. They do remain innocent for the surface world for their proud culture.
The typical protectorate of Triton is tightly regimented and unified around a common cause. This on the surface is easily confused by the strange array of alliances, rivals and small complaints that prevents the surface from the real uniting people.


I haven't really worked on the game at all in the past ten days. I want to do some of the more artistic parts of the game, but depression just fucks up my ability to brainstorm and come up with ideas. I hope there's some good news after tomorrow's election. I'm just so tired.

the Yusupov Palace courtyard where Rasputin was shot twice.
He was running for his life (and filled up with poison) and the first shot that hit him was half way across this courtyard. Rasputin was making for the gates. The second shot was close up to his head. He was dragged from this spot to be dumped into a canal - and the autopsy showed that he died from drowning?

Re: Yusupov courtyard where R was shot
nigbil,
thanks for showing the courtyard, as I am sure many have not seen it. Your account is the "standard" one, but is now shown to likely not be accurate. There is a LONG discussion thread here showing the details.
I love History !!
Wow...What a fool I am. I have never wonder what the courtyard may look like. Very interesting indeed. Thank you for posting it Nigbil
Arturo Vega-Llausás
N. I've been to the palace,only from the front. Is the courtyard in the rear? It must be I remember the front as being solid.
Yes, the courtyard is at the rear. The best view, as I can remember, of the courtyard is from the formal staircase which has large windows overlooking the rear. As you said, the front forms a large block. I post this picture (as a brief aside) of the chandelier on that formal staircase as its one of the most magnificent I've ever seen.................
Nigbil, thanks so much. Have seen some of your other photographs on another thread. Hope there are more
Laura Mabee
Wonderful Nigbil!
Thank you for sharing those photos!
Out of curiosity, do you feel sympathy for Rasputin?
Well, Laura, that is one hell of a question!!
The short answer is that yes, I feel sympathy for anybody killed in that manner.
If I show a great deal of interest in his antics, its because most people at the time, contemporaries of Rasputin (and of differing classes of society), viewed his influence as malign - witness the pamphlets freely circulating as well as the graffiti.
Now his real influence may have been exaggerated and I think that people will always argue over that. But there is no doubt that he was anti-war and that he was absent at the crucial time that war decisions were made in 1914. The Great War destroyed the Russian monarchy not to mention killing millions of people. Its very, very unlikely (but faintly possible) that between Witte and Rasputin (two unlikely bedfellows you are less likely to find!) the war could have been averted. And for me, that might have given Russia a chance to develop a consitutional monarchy and consequently avoid a civil war that killed millions and the Soviet disaster that followed.
Thus Rasputin is to me both a significant nail in the coffin of the Monarchy as well a 'player' at this significant crossroad of Russian history. Add to that, on the personal level of the Tsar and his immediate family, he, Rasputin, clearly served a beneficial role. That all totals up to a fascinating individual; love him or loath him, I don't think he can be ignored.
And lastly, as a student of the French Revolution as well (I live in France) its interesting that there are so many parallels in these two Revolutions; but there was no Rasputin at the court of Louis XIV and that makes him absolutley unique.
Thanks for answering. I guess overall I dislike Rasputin and what his influence did to the IF. However, I do think the way he died was barbaric, and un-ruly. Good to know your opinion
Phil_tomaselli
Having been party to at least some of Richard Cullen's investigations into the murder it has to be said that the courtyard is probably not the site of the shooting.
Unfortunately Richard is still (last I heard) still involved in family problems & unable to finalise his conclusions.
I'm afraid I'm not prepared to go any further (on or off the board) without his permission but will try and contact him again.

Helen_Azar
Coming up Fall 2015: Tatiana's diaries and letters
Thanks for answering. I guess overall I dislike Rasputin and what his influence did to the IF.
Rasputin, IMHO, was by far not the most unsympathetic historical figure, if you really think about it. What did he do really? He never killed anyone, he was never cruel to anyone, the stories told about him raping women and what have you have not really been proven. There is evidence that he in fact helped a lot of people, financially and otherwise. He was a bit of a drunk and a braggart and a womanizer (consentual as far as we know), but that could probably apply to 80% of the peasants during that time. He was no better or no worse than any regular Russian peasant, except he did seem to have had some sort of special ability (no matter how you look at it) and had gotten himself involved with the IF because of Alexei's hemophilia, hence put himself out into the public arena. To say he was evil would be totally wrong. He doesn't even come close to characters like Ivan the Terrible, Stalin, Hitler, etc. who were psychopaths and megalomaniacs and basically mass murderers. He did not deserve to die in the way he did and he does not really deserve his "evil" reputation, IMO....
I agree with Helen's views one hundred per cent.
He certainly made his mark - you either loathed him or loved him and society at the time was split along those lines, with a proponderance of the former. Many churchman initally supported him, then turned against him. In the Imperial family there were those for him and against him. Likewise in the aristocracy.
And of course so much of the dislike was about perception; people believed he influenced the IF and were jealous. He was responsible for influencing some poor political appointments but not for all. His political influence was exaggerated.
Nor did he enrich himself hugely - yes he probably took bribes but he gave much of it away and money does not appear to have been a motive.
Nigebil
I dislike Rasputin and what his influence did to the IF.
I should clarify this a bit more..
I didn't mean the influence he had on the IF. I mean the influence that he put in the minds of the Russian people against the IF.
I don't think he was an evil man, a womanizer yes.. but not evil
rudy3
Actually, this is NOT the courtyard, where R was shot. He was shot in the courtyard (little garden) on the frontside (Mojka), to the left, if you are standing in front of the Yussupoff Palace. From the basement, where Yussupoff met with Rasputin, the stairs lead up, to one of the rooms and to one exit into the garden.

Sad memory brings the light. Thomas Moore 1815
The last post is right the picture is not of the Yusupov Palace Courtyard. As one of the other posts states the yard where Rasputin was placed into a car and taken to the Malaya Nevka in on the Moika side of the Palace. The yard is now a children's playground and covered unforunately in dog mess (unpleasant but true). It is hard to visualise the yard as it was, the 6 foot high railings have gone, so have the two gateways, although if you look carefully you can see where they were.
If you stand in the centre of the playground and look towards the Moika the entrance to felix's basement rooms is on the left. Along the wall of the palace from this door you would have found the side gates. The main gates were in the centre, with a wooden hut to the right of them where the yard watchman spent some of his time. The yard is almost directly opposite the police station on the other side of the Moika.
I don't know where the picture cam from but it looks a bit like the locatuion we had to use for the filming of the reconstruction because the playground was inappropriate and there were no close matches to the 'real' location.
As an aside I am now convinced death occurred in the basement.
I feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all, but he, departed!
Thus, in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
Sad mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me.
Thomas Moore 1815
