NEW YORK (Entrepreneur.com) - Over the years, there's been much written about Generation X in the workplace. Only 10 years ago, Xers were turning corporate policy on its ear. Baby Boomers saw young Xers as brash and unmanageable, and Xers saw themselves as self-reliant individuals who didn't need (or trust) traditional corporate structure.
As they say, what goes around comes around. Now in their 30s and late 20s, those Gen X upstarts are finding themselves in a situation they've never faced before: managing a younger generation � the new group of employees in their early 20s known as Generation Y, which has a different outlook on life and work.
"Gen Xers had the 'mac-and-cheese' years of struggle where, even after grad school, they still found themselves working up the ladder. Now a 22-year-old kid walks in who can't shave yet and wants an $80,000 salary," says Steven Rothberg, 35, founder and president of Minneapolis-based CollegeRecruiter.com, a job search Web site.
He says most Gen X-led companies he recruits for begrudgingly accept the demands of the market. "They hate it, but they deal with it. They feel they're having to pay unfair wages," he says. "There's an underlying anger."
Ask 30-something Gen Xers about their youth, and they'll recall the corporate layoffs of the 1980s and the difficulty of finding their first "real jobs" in the economic downturn of the early 1990s. Their experiences have made them pragmatic and cautious.
Gen Yers, on the other hand, have yet to seek work in a bad economy. As long as they've been paying attention, the economy has been golden, job offers plentiful, and starting salaries high. According to Jobtrak, a job Web site, the average starting salary in fall 2000 was $37,268. Another Jobtrak study in March 2000 revealed that 52 percent of graduating college students expected to be millionaires by the time they were 40 years old.
Gen X entrepreneurs and managers aren't sure they want to accommodate these expectations Gen Yers are bringing to the workplace, although they know it's what the current market dictates. As much as they hate to admit it, Xers have taken some workplace cues from their Boomer elders, applying a "dues-paying" mentality in their own businesses. Xers see a company ladder that should be observed and respected, even in a prosperous economy.
He told me he had three months of work experience and knew the industry.
"It was never so easy for us. We always had to work hard. Gosh, I sound like my grandparents," said Joshua Shaub, 30, president and CEO of New York-based Mighty Seven Networks, an e-marketing company with 35 employees. Shaub says that when he graduated from Cornell University in New York City in 1992, he took any job he could get. He spent a year as a desktop publisher, hoping eventually to work his way into a "good" wage.
"I fought upstream and developed my skills. In the early 1990s, the system was harder, and $30,000 was a good salary," he said. "Now I have 24-year-olds asking for $75K. It's ridiculous."
Then there was the 22-year-old sales employee who wanted a huge office and "a lot of respect" without having enough experience to navigate the small deals yet. Shaub says his 30-something managers have complained that Generation Y workers lack professionalism. "[In Gen Y], there's a misperception of competency and a lack of understanding of how business is done," Shaub said.
When his Gen Y employees ask for raises, Shaub reminds them that the company is making an investment in them. He then tells them how he started the company and explains the financial risks he is taking as an entrepreneur. Finally, he lays out his performance expectations and associates raises with structured goals. "My attitude is, if they are interested in learning the business and getting better at their jobs, I'm willing to invest in them," he said.
But while dues-paying is a big thing with 30-something Xers, it's a hard concept for today's younger workers to grasp � and one that, by and large, they don't feel they need to. "Paying your dues is null and void in today's economy. It means that I was miserable, so you should be miserable, too," said Claire Raines, co-author of Generations At Work, which reveals how different generations can work together. "Age and rank used to correlate. Now the world has changed."
Renee Hillman, 22, is the marketing director for Raleigh, N.C.-based Concept 2000 Realty Inc., a 17-employee firm. She agrees that today's job market, combined with Gen Y's tech-savvy abilities, has made people in her age group very optimistic. "We have lots of expectations paywise and respectwise when we're first going into a job. We've been overwhelmed with options," she said.
"In fact, I left my last job because I felt that my work wasn't appreciated or my opinion valued." What do Gen X leaders need to realize about today's younger 20-somethings? "Remember that we're not that much younger than you are. Speak to us and involve us," she said.
������������������������������������������������������������� Phares-Moritz constantly assigns official benchmarks so she's ready when Gen Yers approach her for raises. "It gives me a tool based on company policy," she says. Discussions about raises often concentrate on long-term goals and on what employees' skills are worth. "They want change right now. You try to keep them focused and tell them the money will build if they stick with it."
Rothberg says Gen Xers misinterpret Gen Y's desire for more money and responsibility early on as a signal that they want to leave. That's because the groups have different time frames for advancement. "Gen Xers want to get two-to-five years on a resume or they think it looks bad. Gen Yers think that if they have two-to-five years in one place, they're not advancing."
And Gen Y is only the tip of a very large iceberg. The Millennials � the kids of the Boomers who will be entering the work force during the next decade � are hot on the heels of Gen Y and will have even higher expectations toward work, says Bill Strauss, co-author of Millennials Rising.
For Gen X leaders, Gen Y is just a test-run for bigger changes ahead. Raines said that as today's teens move from the soccer field to the office, Gen X entrepreneurs can expect calls from anxious Boomer parents checking in on their children's career progress. "This is already starting to happen," she said.
The challenge for 30-something entrepreneurs is to keep everything in perspective and to acknowledge that times have changed since they started out in the early 1990s. Chuck the dues-paying mentality, Rothberg says, and stop trying to apply yesterday's rules to today's jobs. Failing to change is counterproductive, and Rothberg has seen leaders struggle. "Some Gen X company leaders refuse to acknowledge that reality has changed," he said, "and they're having a difficult time recruiting."
Explain your sense of hierarchy. Make sure your Gen Y employees understand why a hierarchy exists, and be prepared to alter your thinking. Take time to explain what kind of dues-paying is required to get employees to where they want to be in the company, and listen. Offer concrete benchmarks for advancement, and acquaint Gen Yers with business risk when discussing pay raises.
Add responsibility. Because Generation Y wants more responsibility sooner, try to offer continuing training and mentoring. Gen Yers are enthusiastic when they feel their opinions mean something. "Gen Xers can start providing the initiative with Generation Y," Strauss said.
Focus on similarities. Both groups share similarities, including a positive attitude toward free agency and basically the same desires (the only difference being the expected speed in realizing those desires).
Carolyn A. Martin, a master trainer for RainmakerThinking Inc., a New Haven, Conn.-based firm that researches the working lives of Americans born after 1963-and co-author of Managing Generation Y, believes that Gen X leaders have their work cut out for them in managing younger generations. Said Martin, "The challenge for Gen X will be translating their experiences and thinking."


"Cockroaches are a bio-technological pathway for the converting and processing of kitchen waste," said Liu Yusheng, president of Shandong Insect Industry Association.
Cockroaches are also a good source of protein for pigs and other livestock. "It's like turning trash into resources," said Shandong Qiaobin chairwoman Li Hongyi.
"People think it's strange that I do this kind of business," Li said. "It has great economic value, and my goal is to lead other villagers to prosperity if they follow my lead."
His village has two farms. Li's goal is to create 20.
"The essence of cockroach is good for curing oral and peptic ulcers, skin wounds and even stomach cancer," said Wen Jianguo, manager of Gooddoctor's cockroach facility.
"We have a moat filled with water and fish," he said. "If the cockroaches escape, they will fall into the moat and the fish will eat them all."

I often have clients come to me for help with Sciatica. I think this is because I have also dealt with it myself personally so I know the issue intimately. I have personally often found that most Bodywork or more specifically massage makes Sciatica worse and this is because you are dealing with an impinged and inflamed nerve and a structural issue that is causing the impingement. Without this knowledge it is all too easy to massage right over the inflamed nerve and cause more inflammation sending the surrounding tissue into spasm thereby compounding the issue.
When I work with Sciatica I start with Craniosacral Therapy (which is a subtle, unwinding process that is also very specific to aligning the structure, spine, cranium and how they interrelate) to balance the Pelvic bones and unwind the Lumbar vertebrae where the nerve exits the spine. Then it's important to address where the pelvic imbalance is coming from. Often times there is an old tailbone, pubic bone or pelvic injury. When the tailbone is curled under or jammed it will then throw off the entire pelvis and Sacroilac Joint (SI)- where the Sciatic nerve exits and this can often rotate the lumbar vertebra. This then causes the Iliopsoas (Hip Flexor) to go into considerable contraction and sometimes spasm.
overworking. The body holds itself together either through stability or tension and all too often it is the latter. For this element of the equation it is essential to be doing physical exercises that turn on the stabilizer muscles and help to retrain the alignment of the pelvis. Doing simple things like a suspended 90* chair at the wall squeezing a yoga block between the knees helps stabilize and balance the pelvis. I also teach my clients a more nuanced, specific pelvic balancing exercise series.
Walking up stairs slowly, in parallel consistent alignment helps to activate, strengthen and balance both the psoas and gluts. Swimming is also very balancing for the pelvis. Sitting and lying around are the worst things you can do for Sciatica as they create more instability in the pelvis and the Sciatic nerve is screaming for stabilization! The frustrating thing with Sciatica is that after the body has been rebalanced it still takes a day or so for the inflammation to go down and it can be SO Painful! And this is where the importance of doing stabilizing exercises and lots of icing comes in.
says Sciatica can be deep inner pain the person doesn't' want to know which can come from "a denial dominated self-defeating programming dysfunctional family."
It can have to do with "Creativity-anxiety: concern, anxiety and dread regarding the release and expression of their creative capabilities."
It is deeply important to me to create a safe, sacred space where all these levels can be addressed and honored.
I have been a student of consciousness, healing and health most of my life. At a young age I became interested in Spirituality and Psychology and throughout my life sought out numerous forms of healing both physcially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually (PEMS). I came to these modalities of healing from my own physical challenges, injuries and life traumas. I have become my own study and after 16yrs. of doing healing work I've learned how we as human beings are all so similar at our core and deal with the same fundamental human challenges, just varying stories.
After receiving my Masters in Spiritual Science from the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness I enrolled in a program I had been on the periphery of for 14 yrs. and I am currently in my second year studying Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica. This program is truly life changing and I am deeply grateful for the masters who created this work and the gift I have of sharing it's blessings.
It's difficult to fully describe what I do as my work is multidimensional and really varies from client to client. I started out doing massage and deep tissue and quickly gravitated to Craniosacral therapy and then over the years just by virtue of doing the work I became much more intuitive and spirit started showing me things I had never studied. I was already studying spirituality and psychology personally and this inspired me to begin to study more how I could integrate this into my work. Although much of my work is focused on the body it is actually my intention to clear energetic, mental and emotional blocks as well that are in the way of optimal balance. For some clients who are wanting this type of work sessions can turn into releasing past traumas and coming into loving relationship with oneself. My work is really an integration of PEMS. Some clients choose to focus more on the physical, some come just for Spiritual Counseling and some for the full integration.
I came to Craniosacral Therapy after years of being completely reliant on and addicted to chiropractic adjustments at least weekly and was otherwise in severe pain. The problem was my body never held the adjustments hence why I was reliant on them. The first time I experienced Craniosacral Therapy it was revelatory for me; a transcendent, euphoric experience and more relief then I had ever had from adjustments. I was hit in the face with a volleyball when I was 15 yrs. old and this impacted what is called the Maxilla bone (or upper jaw, which spans the whole middle of the face). This impaction transferred to my upper cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, which were chronically out of alignment. Part of the problem was I didn't receive any bodily assistance for several years after the accident when the pattern was already set in. When I first had my Maxilla bone released by a Craniosacral therapist I felt the whole border of the sutures of the bone throbbing and balled for an hour. This bone had been jammed for years and there was so much stuck energy that was released along with intense pain. When the pain subsided I felt a freedom and space that I had forgotten existed prior. Now I want to add a disclaimer here; most Cranial adjustments are not painful at all and quite gentle, my body's reaction speaks to how stuck it was and how much I needed that release; it was 100% worth it! Needless to say I was hooked on Craniosacral Therapy and for the first time since being addicted to Chiropractics experienced my body having lasting changes and not only being able to hold the adjustments but beginning to experience my body "unwinding" and adjusting itself, which by the way it is actually designed to do.
For years I moved completely away from Chiropractics and found my body becoming more stable. I have since found a few extremely unique chiropractors that are working more holistically, adjust differently and have helped me tremendously. There is a time and a place for chiropractic adjustments however when the body chronically misaligns and gets a "quick fix" of a "standard" chiropractic adjustment it begins to rely on this adjustment to rebalance and if done too often the ligament and tendon attachments of the spine can get overstretched and become hyper mobile thereby not being able to hold the adjustments. What the unique holistic Chiropractors I've worked with understand is you have to address the underlying root cause of the imbalance which may be structural, mental, emotional, hormonal, digestion related or there may be something else such as viral throwing the whole system off. We are multidimensional beings and our bodies reflect that.
Craniosacral Therapy grew out of a progression from Chriopractic which addresses the bones of the spine and pelvis and some newer forms of chiropractic are teaching to include the individual bones of the cranium. Then Osteopathy acknowledged that the bones of the cranium were semi-movable (not fused). Craniosacral Therapy went underneath the boney structure and brought to light that our pelvis, spine and cranium are all interconnected by an elastic lining called the Dura which pumps the cerebrospinal fluid up and down the spine and throughout the cranium. Craniosacral Therapy recognized the importance of working from the inside out and by unwinding this internal elastic system and how these bones work rhythmically together the body would naturally come back into it's own optimal balance. The bones are always meant to be moving in a specific rhythm; however if we have had a trauma to the body such as a whiplash, car accident, impact to the cranium etc. the bones can get jammed, out of alignment or out of sync etc. And when one bone misaligns since they are all connected by this internal elastic system it can pull out many of it's neighboring friends. For example when the temporal bones (on the side of the head that the ears sit on top of) are out of balance, the Ilia or pelvic bones usually mimic the same pattern and vice versa.
When the spine has experienced a trauma or whiplash it can set in motion a pattern of the spine reversing it's natural curvature which can turn into the tailbone tucking under, flattening of the lumbar spine, the head jutting forward and flattening of the neck curvature. You can imagine this can cause a lot of pain and discomfort in those areas as the surrounding muscles begin to seize up and over grip to account for the misalignment. The spine's curvature is meant to absorb shock like a spring and without it's natural curve it becomes much more rigid and even more prone to new injuries.
I was talking with a new client who has experienced neck pain for years and that she is constantly trying to keep her neck in alignment. As I observed her talking about it and what she was doing I could see it was coming from good awareness but that the approach was forceful and an attempt to control her body. When our bodies have been misaligned for years it is it's natural job to compensate around the imbalance; so it's not always possible to just "push" the head and neck back to where they "should" be without addressing the whole equation and retraining the whole body. I suggested that when she is focusing on aligning her neck to send Love and Light to her neck (or you could just simply think of breathing into the muscles and bringing in relaxation if that sounds too weird). At first she gawked at this "woo-woo" suggestion saying that's not gonna make any difference; but as she went about her week she decided to give it a try and was surprised how it would soften her neck, she felt less pain, and at the very least was just more relaxed about her relationship to her neck. She also shared what I would interpret as a new found empowerment within her body; less of a feeling of hopelessness that this pain will always be there. What I reflected back to her is that we are not our bodies. These are just the vehicles we are traveling in as we experience being human. We actually are Energy or Light beings at our essence and choosing this focus helps to remind us that the pains, discomforts and imbalances are just experiences we have had that we can release and the body can truly remember it's optimal balance and divine blueprint, sometimes it just needs a little help and that's where I come in.
When the spine goes into reverse curvature it can also turn into upper back rounding and eventually worst case scenario, severe hunch back. This pattern also illustrates that the person who is rounding forward and hunching over is pulling out of their own heart energy center or chakra. This can be an indication of deep unresolved unworthiness material which is a denial of self often accompanied by shame etc... This is actually a very common core issue for many people. It can be scary to stand in the full empowerment of our authentic selves. And also society actually rewards and encourages fear based thinking and victimhood. This is where the work is all interrelated.
As we release old limiting misidentifications with unworthiness etc. and come into Loving relationship within ourselves we naturally relate to our bodies differently and come into greater balance. And as we release physical blocks which always have a mental and emotional element and balance physically we naturally feel better mentally and emotionally and are more connected to the clear channel of our spirit speaking through us guiding our life's inspiration and purpose.

The Main Building (known colloquially as The Tower) is a structure at the center of the University of Texas at Austin campus in Downtown Austin, Texas, United States. The Main Building's 307-foot (94 m) tower has 27 floors[1][2][3] and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the university and the city.[citation needed]

The crowded stacks at the Life Science Library.
The old Victorian-Gothic Main Building served as the central point of the campus's forty-acre site, and was used for nearly all purposes beginning in 1882. However, by the 1930s, discussions arose about the need for new library space, and the Main Building was razed in 1934 over the objections of many students and faculty. All that remains of the Old Main Building are its old chime bells (called the Burleson Bells[4]), which are now exhibited as part of a permanent display outside the university's Bass Concert Hall. The modern-day Main Building and Tower were constructed in its place.[citation needed]
The present Main Building designed by Paul Philippe Cret.

Originally, the university planned to use the Tower as a library space, using a dumbwaiter system to carry books from the upper floors to the students requesting them in the circulation room on a lower floor. Library employees were stationed on every other floor; students filled out paper book-request slips, which were sent upstairs by a pneumatic tube. The books were sent down to the students using an 18-story dumbwaiter. This proved ineffective, and the dumbwaiter is no longer used for that purpose. The building now mainly contains administrative offices, though it does still house a three-floor life sciences library and the Miriam Lutcher Stark Library of early and significant editions of English Romanticist works. Two separate sets of elevators serve the building; one in the front, one in back. In the floors above the stacks and below a few top-floor offices, several floors contain the university herbarium (Plant Resources Center). U.S. Census data are compiled and analyzed on some of these floors. Lastly, two secure elevators provide access to all 27 floors of the Tower while an elevator on the 27th floor provides access to the 28th-floor Observation Deck. There is also a book elevator in the stacks that serves floors 2 through 17.
The 307-foot (94 m) tower was designed by Paul Philippe Cret. Completed in 1937, the Main Building is located in the middle of campus. At the top of the Tower is a carillon of 56 bells, the largest in Texas. The carillon is played daily.
During World War II, an air raid siren built by the chief communications engineer for the University, Jack Maguire, was placed on top of the Tower to notify Austin residents of incoming air attacks. As there was never an air attack on the city, this siren was only tested and never truly used. The decommissioned siren was superseded by four electronic warning sirens that were installed in early 2007.[5]
Main article: University of Texas tower shooting
On August 1, 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, an architectural engineering student at the university, barricaded himself in the observation deck of the tower of the Main Building with a scoped Remington 700 deer rifle and various other weapons. In a 96-minute standoff, Whitman killed 14 people and wounded 32 more (including 1 who died 35 years later of his wounds).[citation needed] Two police officers and a deputized manager from the co-op from across the mall climbed to the top of the tower and shot him to death.
Following the Whitman incident, the observation deck was temporarily closed from August 1966 until June 1967 [6] and then closed again in 1974 following nine suicide jumps.[7]
On November 11, 1998, the Board of Regents of the UT system approved the recommendation of Student Association leaders and of then-president Larry Faulkner to reopen the Tower's observation deck to visitors.[8] After the installation of security and safety measures, the observation deck reopened to the public in 1999.[9][10]
Additionally, the observation deck was closed in 2002 and 2003, due to the September 11 attacks, and was reopened in 2004 with added security.
A female peregrine falcon nicknamed Tower Girl first attempted nesting on top of the tower in 2018. The University of Texas Biodiversity Center placed a webcam in order to monitor her, as a successful nesting attempt would expand the documented breeding range of the species in North America.[11]
The tower of the Main Building illuminated orange for the 2012 Fall Commencement. The number 12 in lights refers to the graduating class of 2012.
The Tower usually appears illuminated in white light in the evening, but is lit in various color schemes for special occasions, including athletic victories and academic accomplishments. To mark more somber events, such as the passing of a former president of the university, the Tower remains darkened with a soft grey glow through the night.
Carl J. Eckhardt Jr., head of the Physical Plant in 1931, supervised the construction of the Main Building Tower. Eckhardt devised a lighting system to take advantage of its commanding architecture to announce university achievements. Beginning in 1937, orange lights were used to symbolize important events at the university; by 1947, standard guidelines for using the orange lights were created, and these have been updated since. Today there are many different options for lighting, including a darkened tower to signify solemn occasions. An orange tower with office windows lit to form the numeral "1" is used for national championships in NCAA sporting events.[12]
During Gone To Texas (welcoming new students to campus) and commencement ceremonies, the Tower windows are lit up to form the year (e.g. a 12 for the Class of 2012) of the class being honored.

Сычуаньская полёвка () — один из двух видов рода Volemys подсемейства Arvicolinae. В мировых зоологических коллекциях есть всего несколько экземпляров этого вида из провинции Сычуань Китайской Народной Республики.

Описание
Длина тела сычуаньской полевки от 8,3 до 9,5 см, длина хвоста от 4,6 до 5,3 см. Длина стопы около 18 миллиметров, длина уха 14 миллиметров. Череп имеет общую длину от 23,7 до 24,7 миллиметра.

Шерсть на спине темно-коричневая, брюшко сероватое. Хвост двухцветный с серо-коричневым верхом и белым низом. Вершины кистей и стоп белые. По внешнему виду она очень похожа на полевку Массера (Volemys musseri), но значительно меньше по размерам и отличается от нее отсутствием задне-язычных треугольников в эмали первого верхнего коренного моляра M1 и имеется их только на M2.

Распространение
Сычуаньская полевка известна только по нескольким особям из гор на северо-западе провинции Сычуань в КНР. Другие находки с юго-востока Сицзана (Тибетского автономного района) скорее всего относятся к этому виду, хотя и несколько крупнее типовой серии. Однако находки в Юньнани, вероятно, относятся к полёвке Кларка (Microtus clarkei).

Образ жизн
Сведения об образе жизни сычуаньской полевки отсутствуют. Известные места обитания находятся в лесных районах на высоте более 4000 метров. В 2010 году он был также обнаружен в районе полей, где он, вероятно, будет конкурировать с крысами за место и еду. Как и другие полевки, она обитает в подземных норах и, вероятно, питается в основном травоядными различными частями растения.

Систематика
Сычуаньская полевка рассматривается как отдельный вид в пределах рода Volemys, который состоит из двух видов. Первое научное описание принадлежит британскому зоологу Олдфилду Томасу, который описал этот вид в 1911 году, используя особей на реке Си-хо на северо-западе Сычуани. Первоначально этот род, а следовательно, и этот вид относили к роду серых полёвок (Microtus).

Статус, угрозы и охрана
Сычуаньская полевка классифицируется Международным союзом охраны природы и природных ресурсов (МСОП) как вид списка предупреждений и, следовательно, как потенциально находящаяся под угрозой исчезновения (близкая к угрозе). Это оправдано тем фактом, что все известные животные известны только на очень небольшой территории менее 50 км² и что в этом регионе происходит сильная реструктуризация с целью расширения туризма. Информации о численности вида нет. В прошлом вырубка леса в пострадавшем регионе представляла угрозу для лесных видов, но сегодня существует опасность незаконной вырубки и преобразования среды обитания для зимнего туризма в лыжный парк.

dharmic journey: Can thai buddhism be saved from superstition?
Mayura Wilainum-chokchai remembers having little interest in the extensive TV news coverage of the funeral of the Venerable Buddhadasa Bhikku 13 years ago. She had never heard of the monk before and simply assumed Buddhadasa was one of many famous Luang pu, senior monks with sacred powers.
Now 26, Mayura sees things very differently. She recently left her job as a graphic designer with a Japanese company in order to pursue graduate studies in the United States. Upon her return to Thailand, she plans to enter the teaching profession, starting a new life spreading Buddhadasa's dharma to the younger generation.
"I want to bring Buddhism to the attention of young people," she says. "I was almost too old when I learnt that Buddhist teachings can benefit someone like myself who never believed in superstitious stories or particularly liked going to temples full of ornate buildings and monks watching big-screen TVs with [Sony] Playstations".
Last night Mayura and some of her like-minded friends made the trip by train to Suan Mokkh or the "Garden of Liberation" founded by Buddhadasa 74 years ago, to join today's commemoration of the centenary of Thailand's most famous Buddhist scholar and reformer of Theravada Buddhism.
Mayura exemplifies a growing trend among young people, a trend which many Buddhist scholars hope will be able to save Thai Buddhism from a potentially shaky future.
"More than 80 per cent of people report that they are Buddhists, but I doubt that many of them really know about the essence of the Buddha's teaching," challenges Bancha Chalermchaikit, the owner of Sukapap Jai publishing house, which has printed Buddhadasa's books for more than two decades.
"Some 2,000 copies of Buddhadasa's books might stay on the shelves for four or five years while those about monks and nuns with supernatural powers can sell 100,000 copies in a few months."
Even worse, adds Phra Dussadee Methangul, a famous disciple of Buddhadasa, is that most of the nation's 300,000 Buddhist monks are not doing their job of helping people rid their minds of the ignorance that the Buddha taught is the root cause of delusion and suffering.
"The monks themselves may even be encouraging this delusion," explains Phra Dussadee. "They hand out lottery numbers and amulets and sprinkle holy water because they know that these are easy ways to draw people to their temples, and more visitors means more donations."
As Buddhadasa emphasised, such activities are far from what was at the essence of the Buddha's teachings, and as a result, critics charge, they are contributing to the religion's decline at a time when it may be needed more than ever.
An advocate of Buddhism, Dr Tienchai Wongchaisuwan observes that temples taking advantage of people's fears and hopes for a better life are acting little differently from corporations. "Multinational corporations exploit our ignorance surrounding how the craving for material possessions works and are systematically packaging it as 'modern culture'," he argues.
Other scholars agree. As consumerism becomes more sophisticated, it sells not only products but lifestyles and culture too. Ritualistic Buddhism benefits from that same approach: "It's about getting people to feel better about themselves", notes Dr Suwanna Satha-anand, a lecturer in philosophy at Chulalongkorn University.
"Commercial Buddhism is also selling something more abstract, such as meditation training that can make people feel momentary happiness," she notes.
"We have to admit that Buddhism [such as Buddhadasa taught] is a very difficult and demanding religion. It is a religion based on wisdom, not faith. To gain this wisdom, you have to not only intellectually understand the teaching but also practice it. It demands you rely on yourself, not gods."
But Phra Paisal Visalo, a well-known disciple of Buddhadasa, is not discouraged. He says the fact that an increasing numbers of people in the West are becoming interested in Buddhism and its logical explanation of life and suffering is an illustration of people failing to find the answer to life through material success.
He sees Thailand as no different and cites young people like Mayura as an example of the beginning of a similar trend. "This growth in material consumption does have a positive side. It allows religion an opportunity to present alternatives once people emerge from the myth that materialism leads to happiness," he says. "Moreover, advances like information technology can also help us monks to understand the outside world better and be more responsive to people's needs."
Phra Dussadee concurs, adding that maybe it is time for Buddhadasa's followers to become more aggressive in their networking to spread his teaching to wider groups in society. As Buddhadasa hoped, more laypersons are now beginning to teach dharma to fellow laypersons through books and lectures, as Mayura herself plans to do.
"Monks certainly face a tough challenge if they are still to be relevant in the future of Buddhism," advises Phra Dussadee. "We may lose relevance if they don't adjust to become more committed to learning and practising deeper dharma to fit our role as religious practitioners."
Ultimately, none of this may really matter if we follow the basic Buddhist teaching of impermanence, says Dr Suwanna. "Buddhadasa's teaching could eventually fade away, but as the monk himself stressed, Buddhism is a fundamental law of nature and will always be there for people to discover."

The core analysis workflow starts immediately by core preparation upon arrival of the core barrels to our Laboratory. This preparation starts with layout, cleaning, measuring and mark-up of the core. During these operations close attention is paid to the proper matching and orientation of core fragments. The samples used in such studies should be as representative as possible of the reservoir rock at depth if the final data is to be credible, and an efficient use of the financial resources devoted to them. These plugs are obtained by drilling cylinders from the core using appropriate drilling fluid such as brine or oil and trimming the ends of these cylindrical samples. Samples of the reservoir rock and fluid are commonly altered by the process of obtaining them (coring, recovery, well-site handling, shipment, storage, and preparation for experimentation).This process is carefully considered and appropriate preparation strategy is employed. Standard prepared plugs are then used for determination of oil and water saturation, porosity, permeability, grain density measurements (at ambient pressure or at higher pressures to mimic subsurface conditions) and for a variety of Special Core Analysis tests.
Routine (Conventional) Core Analysis (RCAL or CCAL) attempts to give the very basic petro-physical properties of unpreserved and cleaned state core plugs or outcrop samples. The routine data provide a useful guide to well and reservoir performance of different formations such as sandstone, un-consolidated sediment, carbonate, shale, and coal. Core samples may be taken either in vertical, horizontal or inclined orientations depending on the objectives of the study. Routine core analysis usually includes measurement of porosity, air permeability, fluid saturations, grain density, and determination of lithology and texture. It could also cover the core gamma photography.
Reservoir fluid analysis laboratory in PetroAzma offers comprehensive Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) studies for all reservoir fluid types to provide complete picture of any hydrocarbon sample using advanced and latest equipment. Our well-experienced and specially trained staff can provide accurate PVT analysis, which is vital for precisely calculation and evaluation the value of the reserve. PVT fluid studies can be performed on validated recombined surface separator samples or subsurface reservoir samples.
Special Core Analysis (SCAL) attempts to extend the data provided by routine measurements to situations, which are further representative of reservoir conditions. Special core analysis usually includes measurement of porosity and permeability at reservoir conditions, capillary pressure, relative permeability, rock electrical properties, cation exchange capacity, X-ray computerized tomography (CT), acoustical properties, residual saturations, preferential wettability and core flood and EOR tests. SCAL data is usually used to support log and well test data in gaining an understanding of individual well and overall reservoir performance.


That is, customers in California and New York have filed a lawsuit against the owner because of its claim that oatmeal involves traces of pesticide glyphosate.
This followed the test performed to analyze the ingredients of oatmeal Quaker Oats Quick 1 minute, by an independent laboratory in California. The researchers used mass spectrometry-liquid chromatography, which is a procedure often used by doctors and chemical laboratories for drug research.
found that the analyzed sample contained traces of glyphosate, and although it was discovered below the legal limits allowed amounts, the company was sued for "misleading advertising" as it claims that their product is "100% Natural" .
This chemical acts as an active ingredient in many pesticides including Roundup, which is sprayed on crops worldwide. Its use has been condemned by activists of food for years, claiming that leads to serious health problems.
The popular pesticide was created in 1974 and is used regularly since. However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (part of the World Health Organization) only recently, in 2015, placed in the category of "probable" cause of cancer.

Despite cancer, this chemical leads to various other health problems long term.
According to experts, this is a result of the ability of glyphosate to interfere in the amounts of vitamin A, which is vital for fetal development.
Furthermore, studies have found a strong relationship between exposure and attention deficit Roundup in agricultural communities, which is believed to be due to the ability of glyphosate to disrupt the function of the thyroid hormone.
Glyphosate also affects the production of serotonin in the body, and therefore affects sleep, mood, appetite, and can lead to depression. The truth is that pesticides and herbicides than other grains oats, making their mark on the products of this company are quite surprising.

Local Storage also known as Web Storage or Offline Storage is a mechanism to store data as key/value pairs tied to a domain and enforced by the same origin policy (SOP). There are two objects, localStorage that is persistent and is intended to survive browser/system reboots and sessionStorage that is temporary and will only exists until the window or tab is closed.
On average browsers allow to store in this storage around 5MB per domain, that compared to the 4KB of cookies is a big difference, but the key difference from the security perspective is that the data stored in these two objects is kept in the client and never sent to the server, this also improves network performance as data do not need to travel over the wire back and forth.
The main difference with localStorage is that the data stored in this object is only accessible until the tab/window is closed, which makes localStorage a perfect candidate for data that doesn't need to be persisted between sessions. It shares most of the properties and the getItem/setItem methods, so manual testing needs to be undertaken to look for these methods and identify in which parts of the code the storage is accessed.
Black box testing for issues within the Local Storage code is not usually performed since access to the source code is always available as it needs to be sent to the client to be executed.
First of all, we need to check whether the Local Storage is used.
Using Google Chrome, click on menu -> Tools -> Developer Tools. Then under Resources you will see 'Local Storage' and 'Web Storage'.
Using Firefox with the Firebug add on you can easily inspect the localStorage/sessionStorage object in the DOM tab.
Also, we can inspect these objects from the developer tools of our browser.

Alarm at 'cross' player's caution
Boruc signed for Celtic in July last year
The Roman Catholic Church has criticised prosecutors for cautioning a Celtic goalkeeper who crossed himself during a match against Rangers.
Artur Boruc was cautioned for a breach of the peace over the incident at an Old Firm match at Ibrox in February.
The church called it "worrying and alarming" as the sign of the cross was a "gesture of religious reverence".
However, the Crown Office said the decision was based on the player's behaviour, rather than a single act.
In addition to crossing himself, the player was alleged to have made gestures to the crowd at the start of the second half of the game on 12 February.
It is extremely regrettable that Scotland seems to have made itself one of the few countries in the world where this simply religious gesture is considered an offence
Peter Kearney
Catholic Church spokesman
Rivalry tied up with religion
Strathclyde Police investigated complaints that Boruc, 26, had angered a section of the crowd with his behaviour and they submitted a report to the procurator fiscal.
However, as an alternative to prosecution, Boruc was cautioned. That does not leave him with a criminal record, although the information about the caution will be retained.
The Crown Office said his actions "provoked alarm and crowd trouble and as such constituted a breach of the peace".
On Saturday, it said it had taken action "based on an assessment of behaviour, not one single act, which appeared to be directed towards the crowd which was being incited by that behaviour and which caused the police to intervene and calm the crowd".
The Crown Office said a report had been sent to the fiscal as there were "clear guidelines" on the need for responsible behaviour from players taking part in such fixtures.
"The procurator fiscal concluded that the effect of the behaviour of the player on the crowd was such as to require the consideration of criminal proceedings," it said.
Witness statements and the video of the crowd's reactions were examined, but the incident itself was not caught on camera.
Religious significance
"The procurator fiscal concluded that it was necessary to bring clearly to the player's attention that conduct which involved gesticulating at and incensing the crowd at a football match amounted to the offence of breach of the peace and was unacceptable," said the Crown Office.
"The procurator fiscal took the view that in the circumstances criminal proceedings were not necessary on this occasion, which is why it was dealt with by way of an alternative to prosecution."
However, Peter Kearney, spokesman for the Catholic Church, said the move to caution Boruc was "regrettable".
He said other actions could not be defended, but that a gesture of religious significance should not be considered offensive.
"It's a worrying and alarming development, especially since the sign of the cross is globally accepted as a gesture of religious reverence," he said.
"It's also very common in international football and was commonplace throughout the World Cup.
"It is extremely regrettable that Scotland seems to have made itself one of the few countries in the world where this simply religious gesture is considered an offence."
What he was, was deliberately provocative and completely done to wind up the fans, as if the fixture isn't volatile enough
Rangers Supporters Group
Nationalist leader Alex Salmond also criticised the decision to caution the player.
"The procurator fiscal has taken leave of their senses. I will be demanding an explanation for this," he said.
He said the "ludicrous" move was the type of action which brought the law and legal system into disrepute.
"The procurator fiscal and the Crown Office is acting in a way that will inflame rather than reduce religious antagonism," he said.
Liberal Democrat MSP Donald Gorrie said he felt the situation could have been addressed by talking to Mr Boruc privately.
He added: "I think they were wrong to focus on the crossing rather than the whole performance, as described to me by quite sensible people who were definitely wound up by it as they were intended to be, and he shouldn't do that."
'Set an example'
The goalkeeper, who played during this year's World Cup in Germany, signed for Celtic from Legia Warsaw in July last year.
A spokesman for Celtic said the club was "currently assessing this issue".
"The club has arranged to meet with Strathclyde Police and our supporters' representatives to discuss the matter further."
Rangers Supporters Group said it was "disappointing" Celtic did not take action against the player after the game.
Stephen Smith, spokesman for the group, added: "Professional footballers are meant to set an example. What he was, was deliberately provocative and completely done to wind up the fans, as if the fixture isn't volatile enough."
National plan
The fixture takes place in a charged atmosphere and has produced no shortage of controversy down the years.
Last year 12 people were arrested for acts of "religious prejudice" after an Old Firm match during which Rangers player Fernando Ricksen was struck by an object.
The match took place days after an "historic" summit on sectarianism where it was agreed to work on a national plan to tackle the problem.
That event was attended by both Celtic and Rangers, who later in the year launched a project to tackle bigotry and sectarianism in the west of Scotland.

Pneumococcal bacteremia is observed in children of all ages; however, children aged 6 months to 2 years are at an increased risk (Swindell, 1993; Kuppermann, 1999; Lee, 1998), and the prevalence of pneumococcal meningitis peaks in infants aged 3-5 months.
The prevalence of occult bacteremia caused by pneumococcus is anticipated to decrease greatly in the near future because of the introduction of the 7-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine, which was designed to cover 98% of the strains of S pneumoniae responsible for occult bacteremia (Alpern, 2001).
The sensitivity and specificity of clinical judgment in predicting occult bacteremia and serious bacterial infections have varied greatly in previous studies, with a consensus that clinical judgment is not a reliable indicator of occult bacteremia (Kuppermann, 1999; Baraff and Bass, 1993; Baraff, 1993; Baker, 1999; Bass, 1996).
Bacteremia has many possible causes, including dental procedures or even vigorous toothbrushing; catheterization of an infected lower urinary tract; surgical treatment of an abscess or infected wound; and colonization of indwelling devices, especially IV and intracardiac catheters, urethral catheters, and ostomy devices and tubes.
Bacteremia may cause endocarditis (see Endocarditis), most commonly if the pathogen is an enterococcus, streptococcus, or staphylococcus, and less commonly with gram-negative bacteremia and fungemia.


Post 'Daily Show,' the comedian and his wife are dedicated to helping animals.

Bufflehead Farm, the new non-profit animal rescue sanctuary owned by Jon and Tracey Stewart, is almost ready to open its doors.
If everything goes according to plan over the next few months, the family's 12-acre tract of land in Middletown, New Jersey, will soon be home to dozens of rescue cows, sheep, turkeys, goats and other animals.
Her new book "Do Unto Animals" (currently the No. 1 bestseller in animal husbandry on Amazon) offers more than 300 pages of beautiful illustrations and promises to give readers "insights into the secret lives of animals and the kindest ways to live with and alongside them."
In an interview with the New York Times earlier this month, Mrs. Stewart said the goal of the book is to make people look at animals more as individuals and less as simply food.
"If everyone did a bit more, if they fell in love a little bit more, so much could happen," she said. "It doesn't have to be going vegan. You can advocate for them. You can show tenderness. You can play music for them. I really hope people can connect with animals the way most of us did as children."
The Stewarts have worked to slowly and meticulously transform Bufflehead Farm, purchased in 2013, into a safe place for rescue animals. They currently have four pigs, including two piglets rescued from the side of road in Georgia last summer. According to the New York Times, four sheep will also soon arrive — as well as many other abused or neglected farm animals in need of a home.
The couple eventually plan on opening Bufflehead Farm to the public, but by appointment only to start. For Mrs. Stewart, educating about what they're trying to do at the sanctuary will be a big part of that outreach. "Our hope is to get a lot of school groups in," she added.
"CBS This Morning" recently visited the Stewarts on their farm to check in with the famous comedian post-"The Daily Show," see the work-in-progress that is Bufflehead, and talk with Tracey about her new book. Check it out below.

I am rereading the HP series (Pottermore sealed the deal). I also decided to pick up (FINALLY) The Hobbit. I have never actually read anything by Tolkien. I still can't get used to the hobbits' hairy feet, but I am actually enjoying this book.
The Hobbit is also on my list to get to this year. Over the years I made a couple of attempts to read The Lord of the Rings but never finished it for various reasons. The last time I tried my niece borrowed my copy while I was reading it, she was desperate to read it and I was just plodding along becasue I felt I should, I think she had the greater need for the book.
Yes, I find The Hobbit a gentler intro into the Lord of the Rings. I also started those a few times and never finished them! I don't know if I ever will, but I hope so!


By day 19, #30DaysWild had started to take over my life. In addition to consultancy by day to pay the bills, and crafting utopia for Latitude Festival, my days were now filled with walks outdoors, and taking photographs galore for both 30 Days Wild and artistic stimulation. My life was filled with utopia and nature – and I loved it.
Even my diary doodles had become wild by day 19. (I was devoid of computer for a while and wanted to note what I'd been doing to keep up with it all. And then I started playing with scissors*).
I also messed around with the photos using my phone photo editor as I was feeling in an arty mood and wanted to see how the picture could change. I will be playing some more. It's fun.
On day 20, my work life balance tilted towards work. However, I still found time to take a closer look at the flowers and plants nearby.
It's so inspiring for my crafting, showing me the way that plants and flowers are shaped. Their simple complexity astounds me and I can't believe I've never noticed it before.
Luckily, I can let the inspiration pour out into utopia to create the Garden of Love. I love that play is work.
I also love that I have the perfect excuse to browse William Morris's work online. I feel more drawn to the arts and crafts movement every day. It's not just the beauty of the art but also Morris's many wise words.
My crafting is becoming filled with twigs and feathers, dried flowers and recycled packaging, making me feel happy and satisfied through creating something as well as connecting to nature.
In day 21, I listened to bird song and recorded it. My phone has subsequently died so I can't post it here but there will be more birdsong tomorrow. That makes me happy.
Do some nature themed crafting.
Introduce a friend to #30DaysWild.
Go on a nature walk.
Take a closer look at the garden.
Learn more about a plant.
Find out about nature volunteering.
Get involved with a community garden project.
Encourage a friend to do gardening.
Create (OK, find) flower peg dolls.

*Health and safety notice. Do not play with scissors.

herding cats & burning soup: PLANNER GIVEAWAY!!!! Woo!!!
Here's some of my favorites I've done. They're actually easier than they look and took me 20-40 minutes each. I do them while watching TV so it really doesn't take time out of my schedule.
It's great. You can make them as complex or simple as you want. And change it up every week. So much fun.
I'm giving away...some Frixion Pens.


After my last post on "Health is Key!" I realized how important it is for me to share some crucial information on health that can make a huge difference in your life, and to your relationships.
Some of you have shared how difficult it is for you to be attentive to your partner after a long day. Or you don't have enough energy in a day to do all the things you want to do.
Some of you are even trying to lose weight. Perhaps not yet achieving your ideal weight, you feel uncomfortable with your body, and it's affecting the intimacy you share with your partner.
This is why it's so important to take care of your health – so you can feel your best. When you have great health, you will have more energy, you will feel good, and you will want to do good.
On my next post, I'll share some powerful information with you that will help you on your journey to healthier, happier relationships. Stay tuned, you don't want to miss this!


Dylan came on holiday to Hendre Farm at St Dogmaels for a fortnight in the spring of 1930, when he was sixteen. He spent much of the time walking along the coast, and wrote a poem for Bonnie, the farmer's daughter.
He was extremely presentable and dishy, not at all the scruffy bohemian.
Dylan made two visits to the beautiful Pembrokeshire seaside town of Tenby to give readings to the Tenby & District Arts Club. In 1949 he read the poetry of Auden, Yeats and Pound, as well as some of his own. On his second visit, on October 2nd 1953, he read from the recently completed Under Milk Wood, in what is probably the only public reading he made from his classic play in Wales. It was probably Dylan's final engagement in Wales. He died the following month during his fourth trip to North America. The venue for his reading was the Salad Bowl Cafe on the Croft; the building no longer survives, but a blue plaque has been erected nearby to mark the historic event. Tenby Museum has a Dylan Thomas display, and has artworks on show by members of Dylan's circle, Augustus John and Nina Hamnett.
In July 1951, John Malcolm Brinnin, Director of the 92nd Street Y Poetry Center in New York, and his friend Bill Read, came to stay with Dylan and Caitlin in Laugharne. During their stay, the four, along with Laugharne local Billy Williams acting as chaffeur, visited St Davids. They visited the Bishop's Castle and took photographs among the ruins.
We wandered in and out of huge galleries, took photographs on a greensward enclosed by great lichen-covered walls, and for a time almost succeeded in being merry when, as we took photographs, Dylan strutted like Mussolini, and Bill hung upside down from a battlement. The happiest result of our visit was a group portrait of Dylan, Caitlin, Bill, and Billy Williams.
In July 1951, John Malcolm Brinnin, Director of the 92nd Street Y Poetry Center in New York, and his friend Bill Read, came to stay with Dylan and Caitlin in Laugharne. During their stay, the four, along with Laugharne local Billy Williams acting as chaffeur, visited the Sailors Safety Inn (now called the Old Sailors) at Pwllgwaelod for a lobster dinner.
Dylan visited Fishguard in 1936 during the National Eisteddfod. He came with his friend, the painter, Augustus John, and his future wife, Caitlin Macnamara, who he had only recently met. Reputedly Augustus John and Dylan came to blows as they vied for the attentions of Caitlin, and Dylan was left stranded when John threw him out of his car.
In July 1951 he visited the town with John Malcolm Brinnin.
In 1972 the film version of Under Milk Wood, directed by Andrew Sinclair, was largely shot on location in Lower Fishguard.
Although it's not known whether Dylan ever visited Solva, the harbour village was the location for the outdoor scenes in the 2014 film version of Under Milk Wood, directed by Kevin Allen.
What was harder to remember was what birds sounded like and said in Gower; what sort of a sound and a shape was Carmarthen Bay; how did the morning come in through the windows of Solva; what silence when night fell in the Aeron Valley.

Adelgunz (westallgäuerisch: uf Adəlgunts) ist ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Hergatz im bayerisch-schwäbischen Landkreis Lindau (Bodensee).

Geographie
Der Weiler liegt circa 800 Meter nordwestlich des Hauptorts Hergatz und er zählt zur Region Westallgäu. Nördlich von Adelgunz fließt der Schwarzenbach, er hier die Grenze zu Wangen im Allgäu in Baden-Württemberg bildet. Südwestlich der Ortschaft befindet sich das Naturschutzgebiet Degermoos. Südöstlich verläuft die Bahnstrecke Buchloe–Lindau.

Ortsname
Der Ortsname stammt vom weiblichen Personennamen Adelgundis und bedeutet Ansiedlung der Adelgundis.

Redefining Wellness in the Face of Pandemic
Rash Field Pavilion, Baltimore
March 30, 2020 | By Rives Taylor
Editor's note: This post is part of our ongoing exploration of how design is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Gensler, our mission is to leverage the power of design to create a better world. At the heart of this mission is the concept of resilience, which recognizes that design must constantly evolve, adapting to and preparing for a changing world.
In the face of pandemic, we realize how essential and powerful these aims are. The COVID-19 crisis is causing us to redefine all our work around the concept of wellness and re-examine the importance of resilience. How can we better help our cities, our businesses, and our communities to better adapt and prepare for crises like these? How can our work create a better world by improving the safety, health, and experience of everyone?
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This goes beyond just minimizing risk by promoting a positive state of wellness in all its forms.
In the current state of the world, Gensler is rethinking the impact of our work around three scales of wellness:
GLOBAL WELLNESS
Climate change is the largest scale of impact, affecting everyone on the planet, and buildings are responsible for nearly half of the annual greenhouse emissions that have caused climate change. Last fall, we announced the Gensler Cities Climate Challenge (GC3), our plan to achieve carbon neutrality in all our work within the next decade. In recent years, we have made great strides in this direction: for example, last year our work was designed to prevent over 16 million metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year — the equivalent of taking 3.5 million cars off the road forever. By continuing our progress, we can contribute significantly to the health of the entire planet and everyone on it.
The COVID-19 crisis is severely disrupting the global economy and threatening people's lives and livelihoods. Ironically, the virus is also having unintended benefits. After the first month of China's downshift, its major cities showed a dramatic improvement in air quality. Satellite data has shown reductions in pollution across China, Italy, and South Korea since the outbreak started. And in car-dependent U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, traffic on roads and highways has fallen dramatically. Even if these reductions in carbon emissions rebound when people return to work, school, and travel, the short-term environmental impact that is already evident underscores the possibility — and the urgency — of taking concrete steps to make real progress toward climate action.

While shelter-in-place has been motivated by public safety, it is enhancing public health in other aspects. According to the WHO, 4.6 million people die every year from causes directly attributed to air pollution. One lesson we can take from this pandemic is that creating more walkable, dense, mixed-use cities where live, work, and play all happen in close proximity can reduce dependence on cars and curtail emissions while also strengthening local communities by creating more opportunity for social interaction and time with family.
As of the past decade, for the first time in human history, more people live in cities than don't. Buildings are the armature of our social interaction and more and more research demonstrates how the built environment can encourage or discourage community. What isolation is teaching us now is how important social ties are. However, this introduces a dilemma. How should we rethink cities and communal spaces in light of pandemics — to balance the need for quarantine and isolation with the need for social wellness? Now more than ever, cities can encourage more social bonding, even while facilitating physical distancing as needed. That might mean creating communal spaces of varying scales and sizes to encourage social interaction among individuals or smaller groups. Adaptability is key, and the built environment can provide a rich variety of experiences to bring people together while also keeping them safe.
Narrowly defined, public health suggests staying inside; more broadly redefined, public wellness suggests remaining connected to our neighbors. Even during the current crisis, people still need to get outdoors. Urban green spaces can improve air quality and thermal comfort at the same time, while providing proven mental and emotional benefits. The best public spaces facilitate round-the-clock enjoyment of the diversity of the urban population while allowing people to maintain reasonable distances as needed. And again, making these spaces easy to access through walking and biking can curb emissions while strengthening community. Moreover, in strongly connected communities, elderly or isolated people are less vulnerable in times of crisis.
Economic resilience is an integral part of social wellness. During the current crisis, importing and exporting goods has become challenging, a reminder that sourcing materials and products regionally can maintain a more reliable supply chain, strengthen local economies, and lower buildings' carbon footprints by minimizing shipping distances.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, people spend 90% of their time indoors on average — and even more so during the current crisis. Over the past couple of decades, scientific evidence has increasingly revealed how buildings affect health and wellness. Good design can decrease the incidence of sickness, alleviate the symptoms of illness, and improve mental functions, outlook, and mood, resulting in dramatically better health and happiness. Buildings that promote health are critical to personal wellness. Indoor air quality, from higher outside air exchange to humidification/dehumidification set points, is becoming increasingly important, especially in dense, urban environments. We envision an integrated design partnership with our mechanical engineers, at the personal and building scale, to understand and balance costs for long-term wellness and human experience. For example, One Museum Place, an office building run by Hines that houses our Gensler Shanghai office, and the first commercial project to receive RESET™ Air pre-certification status, uses a continuous, real-time indoor air quality monitoring and management system to achieve optimal air quality. The project is setting new standards for China by ensuring year-round comfort and healthier indoor air.
In recent years, the design industry has been focused on the health impact of material ingredients, but we should be as focused on the health impact of material contact. Just this month, the threat of viral spread is teaching us much about the relationships between public space and physical touch. No one should have to worry that simply opening a door could be a health hazard. All public places can be designed so people can avoid touching surfaces and fixtures entirely. At the same time, natural materials visually convey the promise of tactile pleasure and tend to have a lower carbon footprint.
We can learn from this crisis to improve our wellness at all scales — from enhancing the experience of public spaces, to creating interiors that promote health, to strengthening our domestic supply chains. But curbing carbon emissions remains the most urgent challenge. The Earth is one, interconnected community that affects the wellness of everyone.

As I was walking my dogs yesterday, I began paying attention to the different lawn mowing techniques of my neighbors. This got me thinking about border lines and "zen and the art of lawn maintenance". There is a saying that fences make good neighbors, but what about the green borders between yards which need to be mowed? Here's what I have noticed.
Some of us make the "friendly gesture". That means we try to seem helpful or return a favor. On the days that I mow, I'll go an extra 6″-12″ over the border to where the neighbor's driveway is, so they don't have to mow that side. Of course, if you do this you have to be careful not to make it seem like you are claiming those extra inches because that could ignite "the border dispute". This can be seen when neighbors constantly overmow the area around the border in an effort to control it.
Another trend that we see is "the meticulous mower" vs. the "too busy to care mower". The yard of the former is kept short and weed-free. Often there will be yellow flags up warning that pesticide has been used. The yard of the latter has long grass and often is full of dandelions, making for an obvious contrast in gardening styles. Is there a correlation between the yellow flowers in one yard and the yellow flags in the other? Probably and hopefully it is not a hostile one.
Lastly, there are the types of people who mow their lawns in a variety of patterns: on the diagonal, in a circle, like a checkerboard. Are they doing this because they are creative or bored, or do they just want to be different? I only want to get the job done, not turn it into a competition over whose lawn looks the most well-groomed.
In fact, lately I have turned the position of chief lawn mower over to my son. For a fair wage he is happy to clear the yard of sticks, balls and dog droppings and cut the grass, including all the odd-shaped parts around the garden beds. The first time he did it he did not make the "friendly gesture" I previously mentioned. After I praised him for his hard work, I pointed this out to him. A few weeks later, my neighbor approached me about "the accident". She was almost apologetic as she explained that she had recently seeded an area of her yard and my son had mowed it before it was ready. Ooops! The art of lawn maintenance sure gets complicated.
Here's to mowing a fine line to keep the peace.
They're back! The American Robins who were lucky enough to survive their fledgling stage have returned to their birth nest and started their own family. It amazes me to think that year after year, from generation to generation, this same line of robins has returned to the exact spot on my front porch and laid yet another brood of eggs.
At first we thought it was great to have them there; but then the parents became too protective and chirped shrill warnings at us to not sit on our porch and disturb their young. For a period of time we tried to take down the nest after they were gone, but it didn't matter. They still came back and built a new one from scratch. Now, years later, we have finally accepted the fact that this is where the robins need to be and have left their nest intact so they have less work to do upon their return.
It is that time of year again and the mom and dad are taking turns warming the eggs and keeping strangers away. I wonder what instincts they have that reassure them they are in a safe place. Do they recollect their own beginnings? Do they associate this spot with comfort or security? And is that why they have come back to make their own nest? Whatever miracle of nature creates this pattern, year after year, certainly astounds me.
It also causes reflection on my own brood, one of whom is near fledgling stage. She has made her college plans and in September will leave the comfort zone of her own suburban nest and begin her adult life at Boston University, a much larger and busier environment than she is used to.
I am sure she will thrive in her new surrounds which will present her with all kinds of opportunities and interesting people. Yet how strong will her nesting instincts be? Will she see home as the place to come for a break from the bustle and stress of college life? Or will she be happy to be far away and on her own? Hopefully the answers to those questions are a little of each.
Like the robins, we want our kids to keep coming back for visits or breaks but then go out and be successful in their own life adventures.

Jungle Brothers er en amerikansk hiphop-gruppe fra New York City, og er banebrydende indenfor fusion af jazz og hiphop, og blev også den første hiphop-gruppe til at bruge en house pladeproducer. Gruppen begyndte at optræde i midten af 1980'erne og udgav sit første album Straight Out the Jungle  i juli 1988. Med afrocentriske tekster og innovative beats var Jungle Brothers kritikerroste og sluttede sig hurtigt til det indflydelsesrige Native Tongues-kollektiv.  Den oprindelige trio bestod af Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam, en hyldest til Afrika Bambaataa) og Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B). Sammy B forlod gruppen efter gruppens udgivet Raw Deluxe i maj 1997.

Wages rose 2.6 percent in 2017
Private economists contend that wages should be rising at a faster pace given that unemployment is now at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent.

WASHINGTON – U.S. workers' wages and benefits grew 2.6 percent last year, the fastest 12-month pace since the spring of 2015.
The 12-month gain in wages and benefits came despite a slight slowdown at the end of last year with wages and benefits rising 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter, a tiny dip from a 0.7 percent gain in the third quarter, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. Still, the 12-month gain was an improvement from a 2.2 percent gain for the 12 months ending in December 2016.
In his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Donald Trump touted the rise in wages as an accomplishment of his economic program. But private economists contend that wages should be rising at a faster pace given that unemployment is now at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent.
The gain in the employment cost index showed that wages and salaries were up 2.5 percent for the 12 months ending in December while benefits such as employer contributions to health insurance and pension plans rose 2.5 percent. Wages and salaries make up about 70 percent of compensation costs while benefits make up the other 30 percent.
Most economists believe that wages should be increasing at a faster pace given the drop in the jobless rate to 4.1 percent. The last time unemployment was this low, in the late 1990s, average hourly pay, another measure of wages, was rising at a 4 percent pace. Hourly wages rose 2.5 percent in 2017, down from a 2016 gain of 2.9 percent, according to a separate Labor Department report.
The employment cost index, which tracks wages and compensation benefits, last rose faster than 2.6 percent over a 12-month period in September 2008 when the gain was 2.9 percent.
