White Supremacists Attacked Black Church Burnt BLM Sign(Sdwjr.blog)
Proud Boys and other white supremacists burn a Black Lives Matter sign from the Asbury United Methodist Church in D.C. while dousing it with lighter fluid to intensify the flames. This public act is intended to terrorize and send a message to Black people.
olice are investigating as possible hate crimes the destruction of Black Lives Matter signs at churches in Washington during violent pro-Donald Trump demonstrations Saturday, officials announced Sunday.
Someone tore down banners supporting the anti-racism movement from at least three churches Saturday night as thousands of maskless "Stop the Steal" protesters marched through the nation's capital, falsely claiming that the election was stolen from Trump.
The Metropolitan Police Department said Sunday that it's "aware of these incidents" and encouraged anyone with information to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.
"We take these offenses seriously, and we are currently investigating them as a possible hate crimes," the department said in a statement to HuffPost.
The pro-Trump demonstrations, which included members of the Proud Boys far-right extremist group, turned violent when proponents clashed with counterprotesters in the streets, resulting in at least four people being stabbed.
More than 100 city police officers were deployed into the crowd, with some using chemical spray as they attempted to separate people, The Washington Post reported. Police arrested 33 people during the overnight unrest, the department said.
Stop the Steal" protests erupted Saturday in several cities across the country, including Atlanta and St. Paul, Minnesota. At least one person was shot during clashes between Trump supporters and counterprotesters in Olympia, Washington.
Trump appeared to encourage the demonstrations, which were fueled by his relentless peddling of misinformation and lies about the election.
"MOST CORRUPT ELECTION IN U.S. HISTORY!" Trump tweeted Sunday.
The White House did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment about the violence that unfolded during Saturday's unrest.
Election officials nationwide, including several Republicans, have declared the elections this year fair and devoid of widespread irregularities. Nonetheless, Trump and his allies have continued to falsely claim the process was "rigged."
Democrats and some Republican lawmakers have urged Trump to concede and stop his divisive rhetoric, warning that his comments could lead to violence.
"It has to stop," Gabriel Sterling, a Republican and the voting implementation manager in the Georgia secretary of state's office, said in a news conference on Dec. 1. "Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language."
"Stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence," Sterling added. "Someone's going to get hurt. Someone's going to get shot. Someone's going to get killed."

Fortunately, your lungs are self-cleaning. They begin that process after you smoke your last cigarette. Your lungs are a remarkable organ system that, in some instances, have the ability to repair themselves over time. After quitting smoking, your lungs begin to slowly heal and regenerate.
Even if it was only once a month, they lit up. "What happens is when you first get addicted, one cigarette a month or one cigarette a week is enough to keep your addiction satisfied," says Difranza.
Glamour cigarettes are generally among the lowest tar and nicotine brands, and one of leading slims cigarettes, not exceeding 4-5 mg tar and 1 mg nicotine.
People say that they use tobacco for many different reasons—like stress relief, pleasure, or in social situations. One of the first steps to quitting is to learn why you feel like using tobacco. Then you can think about the reasons you want to quit.
Simon Chapman, Emeritus Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Sydney said: "Smoking a small number of cigarettes, say less than four a day or once a week does elevate your risk [of health problems].

Within the first month after you quit smoking, your lung function will improve, and this will increase circulation, too. Within nine months, the cilia begin to function normally and symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath become less frequent.
The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is the only country to date that has banned the sale of tobacco products altogether.
Here are the 10 countries with the highest smoking rates:Kiribati (52.40%)Nauru (47.50%)Greece (42.65%)Serbia (41.65%)Russia (40.90%)Jordan (40.45%)Indonesia (39.90%)Bosnia And Herzegovina (38.60%)More items…

The mutations that lead to lung cancer had been considered to be permanent, and to persist even after quitting. But the surprise findings, published in Nature, show the few cells that escape damage can repair the lungs. The effect has been seen even in patients who had smoked a pack a day for 40 years before giving up.
Herbal cigarettes These often are marketed as safer than traditional cigarettes, but they produce tar – one of the main cancer-causing agents of regular cigarettes. Studies show that they have the same carcinogens found in regular cigarettes. Their secondhand smoke poses risks for the people close to the smoker.
Indonesia; Russia; Bosnia and Herzegovina; and Serbia (39%), and Chile (38%) complete the top ten. The places where many people smoke are clustered in two regions. South-East Asia and the Pacific islands and Europe – particularly the Balkan region – but also France (33%), Germany (31%), and Austria (30%).
The lowest smoking rates for men can be found in Antigua and Barbuda, Sao Tome and Principe, and Nigeria. For women, smoking rates are lowest in Eritrea, Cameroon, and Morocco. These differences persist despite decades of strong tobacco control measures globally.
Background: Heavy smokers (those who smoke greater than or equal to 25 or more cigarettes a day) are a subgroup who place themselves and others at risk for harmful health consequences and also are those least likely to achieve cessation.

ATL Collective Presents: Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced"
The ATL Collective is a collaborative of local musicians covering classic albums from start to finish to create a night of music and storytelling. This month's featured album was Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced". This was also the second of three summer series concerts by the ATL Collective!


Elaborate pop-ups feature some wonderfully creepy creatures that just might dominate the ecosystem — and be essential to our planet's survival — in an eerily realistic future world.
Whether or not we know it, the sixth global extinction is already underway, propelled not by a meteor but by human activity on Earth. Take a long step forward into the year 4847 with the help of stunning pop-ups portraying eight fantastical creatures, along with spreads and flaps presenting details about each one. Paper engineer Shawn Sheehy envisions the aftermath of extinction as a flourishing ecosystem centered around fictional creatures that could evolve from existing organisms. Promising high appeal for curious kids and science fiction fans of all ages — and plenty of food for discussion in and out of a classroom — this evolutionary extravaganza offers a timeline of the six extinction events in Earth's history, a "field guide" to each creature, a diagram of species relationships, a habitat map of the (imagined) ruins of Chicago, and an illuminating author's note.
There is no cute in "Beyond the Sixth Extinction." There are no puppies, pandas or chipmunks. Creatures such as these fail to fit the profile (with the possible exception of puppies; see below) of organisms that might endure into the fifth millennium. Cute has poor prospects for survival.
These creatures also fail to fit my aesthetic profile for the near future.
Science fiction writers either imagine things they would like to see come true (transponders—flip phones), or they imagine things that they don't want to see come true (insert any post-apocalyptic scenario here.) Place me solidly in the second camp. Imagining a creepy future helps me to engender communal affection and a sense of conservation for the diversity and wonder of the wild world— a world that, sadly, is rapidly vanishing.
So. I creep it up.
While I was in the idea generating stages of BT6X, I stumbled across a useful passage in Stephen Jay Gould's "Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History." He comments on how much more popular radial symmetry was as a body form in the earth's past. He directs our attention to the fossil evidence of these creatures found in the Burgess Shale.
Contemporary examples of creatures with radial body form symmetry include sea stars and sea anemones. Humans tend to be much more familiar with bilateral symmetry, since that is what we exhibit—as well as ALL OTHER TERRESTRIAL ANIMALS. Crazy, huh? Being radial evidently only works in the water.
I leaned a bit on radial symmetry in creating the creatures in BT6X. I leaned heavily on juxtaposition—taking features of two different creatures and whipping them up in a blender. For most of my creatures, there is a primary source in the juxtaposition; essentially, the 21st-century creature from which the 49th-century version evolved. The secondary source creature lends characteristics that make the primary creature more alien.
The rotrap (an elision of "roach" and "trap") in BT6X is a solid example of this birthing-in-a-blender approach. The primary source creature is the common house mouse. The mouse, incidentally, readily fits the profile for a creature that will survive the sixth extinction. It is omnivorous— a trait that depends on a certain intelligence. It is adaptable. It thrives in human-made environments.
I wanted contrast for the secondary source creature, so I chose the sea anemone. The anemone's radial symmetry introduces creepiness to the rotrap because the feature is utterly alien on land. Admittedly, I was also attracted to an evolutionary function here: creatures like sea stars are thought to have once been bilaterally symmetrical, and they eventually evolved to become radially symmetrical.
If sea stars can do it, why can't mice?
The transformation began with sitting the mouse on its hindquarters and treating it like an upright tube, with a digestive tract down the middle. I migrated the mouse's hind limbs to a position near the fore limbs, giving it the appearance of having four arms distributed evenly around its head. Like a sea anemone, the waving arms grab nearby insects and push them into the rotrap's mouth.
I included the anemone's sedentary feature. Many sea anemone tend to stay rooted in one place for long periods of time. Rooting a land animal required a mechanism, a method of predator evasion or defense, and a way to reckon with a digestive system that suddenly had no outlet.
The obvious solution to creating a rooting mechanism was to use the tail. The rotrap's tail developed branches and the root hairs that can work themselves into a substrate. In this case, the substrate is the vertical masonry of the cooling towers of defunct nuclear power plants.
As for the plugged up digestive tract? I simply made it a two-way street—whatever goes down gets digested, and then the waste comes right back up again.


Nope, because the grapes could be used for other purposes when they're harvested, like wine or jelly, or just eating.
Every once in awhile I come across one of theses Civil War pictures, and every time I do it surprises me. For some reason I can't get my head around the Civil War and photography, even though I've seen hundreds of them.
I believe it for the first row on my right, second row my left and maybe center, third row my right and maybe left, and last row my right. Natural born killers.
I was blown away until I saw the spokes.
I mean sure, he can lift more than me, but most of that wheel is hollow.
These days he'd have negotiated a lucrative sponsorship deal with a leading hernia clinic.
Sure, to go in the Guinness book they have to have somebody there to check. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's quit possible as Anderson was generally recognized as the strongest man in the world for a whole lot of feats, like Olympic gold and a couple national championships, not just for this stunt. I'm sure there are some farm boys who could do this, but never receive recognition beyond local lore and bar bets, I've met a couple.

A: It could be correct if your RootviewController acts like a container view controller.
check this doc on how to build that:
Creating Custom Container View Controllers

A: If you are using storyboard for your application and want to include several view controllers inside rootview controller better go for container controller which is there in Xcode itself.
If used container as a UIview controller for showing maps inside a view controller and other information related to that map was shown in the parent view controller i found it very useful and its reusable.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Michael Lihrman has had better throws, but he's never had a better day.
The Wisconsin junior, carrying the weight of the top-seeded athlete in the weight throw, lived up to his billing and finished the latest chapter in a remarkable rise in the two seasons he's spent in Madison.
Lihrman didn't top his Division I record throw of 79 feet, 7 1/2 inches, but he did top the 15 men who lined up to knock him off by putting together the best series of his career to win the national title at the 2014 NCAA indoor championships inside the Albuquerque Convention Center.
He posted five of the top six overall marks in the competition, essentially winning the meet with a throw of 76 feet, 1 3/4 inches on his second attempt before finishing his coronation with a mark of 76-3 1/2 on his final heave.
Of course, "heave" is a term that has no place in any description of Lihrman's technique. As has become his trademark, Lihrman's biggest throws were the ones that looked as though they required the least amount of effort.
"It's his understanding of the event," UW assistant coach Dave Astrauskas said of what makes Lihrman so technically sound. "He has a great feel for body position and adjusting to what he needs to do on each throw."
Of Lihrman's six attempts in the competition, four sailed beyond the 23-meter mark. Only five other men in the world have a throw of 23 meters this year, a list to which Nick Miller of Oklahoma State added his name by finishing runner-up to Lihrman at 75 feet, 8 1/4 inches (23.07m).
"Everything was very, very close," Lihrman said. "We threw for about an hour and a half and I was getting tired. Those last two throws, I was trying to get myself angry. On that last throw, I was shocked myself.
"You want to throw as far as possible on the last one and usually what happens is you pull on it or do something wrong, but I ended up throwing just fine and I was pretty happy with it."
Lihrman's title is the 13th all-time for the Badgers at the NCAA indoor meet, the most of any Big Ten program, and the first since Chris Solinsky won the 5,000 meters to help UW claim the team title in 2007. The only other Badger to win an NCAA indoor crown in a field event was former world record-holder Pat Matzdorf, who struck gold in the high jump in 1971.
A year ago, Lihrman came to the Albuquerque Convention Center after redshirting the collegiate season -- his first at Wisconsin -- and competed in a Badgers uniform for the first time. He promptly shattered UW's school record with a throw of 68-5 3/4.
Including his return to Albuquerque on Friday, he topped that effort six times this season. He now owns the top seven marks in school history. To Lihrman, it's all happened so fast.
"Not this soon, definitely not this soon," he said. "Maybe I was thinking about throwing this far next year."
His first indoor season for the Badgers in the books, Lihrman will turn his attention to the hammer throw when UW begins its outdoor campaign next weekend in Florida.
But he won't forget about the weight throw. Far from it.
"I never expected to come this far this fast," Lihrman said. "I keep waiting for my plateau and I've never hit it yet. Who knows what's coming up.
"I'm thinking I'm going for the world record next year."
The Badgers got another team point from senior Reed Connor, who rallied for an All-America finish in the 5,000. After slipping back in the pack, Connor -- owner of the nation's top time this season -- made a late-race charge to grab eighth place in 14 minutes, 9.20 seconds. Fellow senior Mohammed Ahmed ran second to race favorite Lawi Lalang in the early going but dropped back quickly and finished 14th in 14:50.11.
Oregon's Edward Cheserek upset Lalang, the six-time national champion, by running 13:46.67 to take the win. Lalang finished in 13:52.83.
Zach Ziemek made a fantastic first impression on his competitors in the heptathlon Friday. The UW junior opened the seven-event competition by winning the 60 meters in a lifetime-best time of 6.90 seconds, breaking his own school record in the event (6.91) in the process.
The performance gave Ziemek the overall lead after just one event and he was strong enough in the events that followed -- the long jump, shot put and high jump -- to post the second-best Day 1 score of his career with 3,296 points.
That score has him fourth in the standings with three events to be contested Saturday. Georgia's Maicel Uibo holds the lead at 3,358 points, with defending champion Kevin Lazas of Arkansas second at 3,315 and 2012 champ Curtis Beach of Duke third at 3,310.
Ziemek briefly put himself to second on the leaderboard by clearing 6 feet, 8 inches in the high jump, but Beach got over 6-9 and Uibo broke the meet record by clearing 6-11 1/2 to drop him back to fourth.
The final day of competition, comprised of the 60 hurdles, pole vault and 1,000, promises to be an exciting one. Lazas and Ziemek battled to a tie in the vault at last year's NCAA meet, matching the collegiate record in the event at 17-8 1/2. In 2012, Beach broke former Badger Joe Detmer's world record in the heptathlon 1,000 by clocking in at 2:23.63.
Japheth Cato's quest to win an elusive national title came to a disappointing end when he failed to clear his opening height of 6-5 1/2 in the high jump. The senior was just 21 points off the pace of his runner-up performance from 2013 before the no-height dropped him out of contention for a third-straight All-America performance in the event.
It was surprising for an athlete who owns an impressive lifetime-best clearance of 7-2 1/2 and -- until Friday, when Uibo and three other competitors topped his mark -- held the NCAA meet record in the event at 6-11.
One look at Cato's badly-swollen right ankle put the setback in perspective, however. Though he's had a remarkable recovery from the ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered just over 10 months ago, his body wouldn't let him compete at the elite level to which he's become accustomed, even this season in the midst of his comeback.
Just two weeks ago, he became the first athlete to win four Big Ten titles in the heptathlon. He also set a school record in the pole vault by clearing 18-2 1/2 in February.
Now, that event will be his focus. The Badgers are in contention for a second-consecutive podium finish as a team and will look for points from Cato in the open pole vault on Saturday.
Regardless of Friday's result, Cato will go down as one of the best collegiate heptathletes of all time. He was twice the NCAA runner-up -- each time setting a record for the closest finish in history -- and is the only collegian to score 6,000 points four times.

Zogby Poll Shows Oregon Voters Oppose Giving Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens, says FAIR
Article publisher:
Oregon Issues
ballot measure 88
Oregon legislation
Article Body:
SALEM, Ore., /PRNewswire/ -- A new statewide poll of likely voters finds that Oregonians still overwhelmingly oppose granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Voters also thoroughly reject efforts by the State Legislature to override the will of two-thirds - nearly a million Oregon voters - who prevented an earlier effort to grant licenses to illegal aliens, from going into effect. The Equal Access to the Roads Act of 2019 (HB 2015) would once again allow people living in the country illegally, to gain access to Oregon driver's licenses and official state photo identification.
Voters continue to oppose granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens by a 63 percent to 30 percent margin, according to the March 18 and 19 poll conducted by Zogby Analytics. Voters even more emphatically reject a new effort by the Legislature and Gov. Kate Brownto override the will of the people who defeated Measure 88 in 2014. That ballot measure struck down a similar law enacted by the Legislature in 2013. Today, 68.4 percent of voters believe that the Legislature "must respect the decisions made by the voters through the ballot initiative process," compared with just 18.7 percent who think the Legislature has the right to enact laws "that have been previously overturned by the voters."
"The voters have spoken. The Legislature and the governor do not like what they had to say, so they are demonstrating their contempt for the people of Oregon with a blatant attempt to overrule the outcome of a fair and democratic election," charged Cynthia Kendoll, president of Oregonians for Immigration Reform (OFIR), the organization that promoted Measure 88 in 2014. "This sort of arrogance of power is the hallmark of authoritarian dictatorships, not the progressivism that Oregon likes to project to the world."
Adding to the arrogance, state leaders want HB 2015 to include an "emergency" clause, which would prevent opponents of the bill from blocking its implementation through a citizen's veto referendum. This despite the fact the bill will not be enacted until 2021. "Frankly, the voters shouldn't have to say no again. They already have – very loudly, very clearly, and not very long ago. Members of the Legislature don't have to like it. Gov. Brown doesn't have to like it. But, at the very least, they should respect the decision of the voters," said Kendoll.
The polling data includes a stark warning to elected officials in the state. A 63.5 percent majority of Oregon voters indicated that they would be "less likely" to vote for legislators who defy the will of the people on this issue, including 46.5 percent who said they would be "much less likely" to vote for such public officials. Only 11.8 percent said such action would make them more likely to vote for such legislators.
The full results of the statewide poll of Oregon voters can be found here.

People of all ages can suffer from a condition known as Alzheimer's. In fact, statistics show that Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death throughout the United States. A common side effect of Alzheimer's is someone suffering from dementia. Therefore, it's important that someone living with Alzheimer's is able to receive the care they need to deal with these side effects. It can be understandably difficult for someone suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia to live by themselves. With that in mind, here are three benefits of assisted living facilities for those suffering from Alzheimer's.


The challenges and opportunities public servants face today are diverse and complex, meaning people need to be passionate about what they do, skilled and confident in how they do it and excited, not daunted, by the constant cycle of change, innovation and changing levels of demand.
The Local Government Association (LGA), Society of Local Authority Chief Executives (SOLACE) and Public Services People Managers' Association (PPMA) explore this in Walk Tall – Being a 21stCentury Public Servant.
Launched on the 15th July 2016, the e-book is a collaboration between all three organisations, Shared Press, which curated and produced it, and Catherine Needham and Catherine Mangan, from the University of Birmingham, who developed the original concept of a 21st century public servant.
The University of Birmingham research identified the different roles and characteristics of 21stcentury public servants and generated high levels of interest and debate.
Responding to this, the LGA, which represents more than 370 councils in England and Wales, SOLACE and PPMA commissioned Shared Press to prepare an e-book to provide a bridge between the academic research and the day-to-day activities of the people and organisations they represent.
Shared Press interviewed more than 60 public workers for the e-book, encouraging them to tell their own stories and demonstrate the best of what is done, day in and day out.
Cllr Clarence Barrett, Workforce Lead of the LGA's Resources Portfolio, said: "They are a tribute to the dedication, passion and commitment to public workers across the country, most of whom do fantastic work on a day-to-day basis because they care about the lives of people in their local communities.
"Developing a workforce based on the characteristics of the 21st century public servant is a crucial part of ensuring that we design and deliver public services which put people at the heart of them, make the best possible use of public money and consistently adapt to take account of changing needs and levels of demand.
"We want our workforce to think creatively about how things can be done, actively look for and engage with partner organisations with whom they can have even more impact on people's lives and be confident in their decision-making.
The e-book is free and can be downloaded here.


Sharing them as i got the pack, no alterations done. Can include doubles from the previous 2 packs i seeded earlier. Contains some new Models aswell.
Oh sure, i get the problem youre mentioning. Will do in the future, promise.
in the future, a screenshot folder would be most appreciated.
maintaining a decent ratio here is hard.
Thank you very much. Lets seed torrent to keep this good stuf aviable to anyone!

How can Monsoon create an oasis in the Kuroshio Current?
Contact: Shiah, Fuh-Kwo / fkshiah@rcec.sinica.edu.tw / +886-2-2783-9910 ext. 1271
Key words: Kuroshio、monsoon、phytoplankton、heterotrophic bacterioplankton、blue carbon
Figure 1. Map of southern Taiwan shows (A) the sampling stations across the mainstream of the Kuroshio. And (B) the spatial changes of the T-S diagrams (upper panel) and chlorophyll-a concentrations (lower panel) and along the sampling transect.
The West Boundary Current of the northwest Pacific i.e. Kuroshio Current - impacts our climate, economy, culture, and history by the heat and momentum it carries. Under the premise of establishing a marine country, we have long ignored this mega biome flowing by the east coast of Taiwan. Its impact on Blue Carbon (biological pump) and local fisheries (e.g. skipjack) and dolphin/whale watching tourism under a warming climate are still unknown.
Originating from the North Equatorial Current, the warm Kuroshio Current flows along the east coast of Taiwan had been viewed as a "desert" due to a limited supply of inorganic nutrients and low biological biomass/activity. Recent studies revealed satellite images showing high chlorophyll-a concentration in this area. Potential mechanisms behind this are worth exploring.
A survey in July 2020 was performed at a transect with 8 stations across the Kuroshio current east of Taiwan (Fig. 1A). The T-S diagram (Fig. 1B upper panel) indicated that water in stations 8, 7, 1, 2 and 3 was a mixture of the Kuroshio Current (KC) and South China Sea (SCS) water. While that of stations 4, 5, and 6 were more and more comparable to the Kuroshio Current water. We suspected that the vertical shear/mixing between the above-mentioned two water masses could generate changes in physical, chemical, and thus biological properties in this area.
In the euphotic zone (~100 m depth), the average values of primary production (3.46 ± 1.37 mgC m-3 d-1) of station 2 were ca. 4 folds of station 6 (0.91 ± 0.47 mgC m-3 d-1). The averaged bacterial production showed the same trend with lower and higher values in station 6 (1.00 ± 0.22 mgC m-3 d-1) and station 2 (1.17 ± 0.40 mgC m-3 d-1) respectively (Fig. 2A). The numerically simulated flow pattern (Fig. 2B-C) presented a typical summer circulation regime when the southwest monsoon prevailed over the study area. After leaving the northern tip of Luzon Island, the northward-flowing KC mainstream followed a relatively straight pathway bypassing the Luzon Strait with less westward intrusion into SCS. That is, most of the KC water returned to the east and continued its northward flow along the east coast of Taiwan (blue arrow). Meanwhile, a northeastward flowing branch originating from the SCS (red arrow) joined the western flank of the KC off southeast Taiwan.
This study for the first time demonstrates that the high biological biomass and activities that occur in KC are induced by the northward intrusion of the SCS waters. The high chlorophyll-a concentration and primary production might be one of the causes of the abundant flying fish (skipjack), dolphins, and whales. Note that the "new production" driven by the new nutrients from mixing/eddy processes in this region probably is particularly important since there is almost no shelf on the east coast of Taiwan. The sinking particles in productive areas could be transported to the deep sea very quickly.
Primary production from phytoplankton is indices for organic carbon production and export/burial rates (i.e. biological pump) in aquatic ecosystems. Heterotrophic bacterioplankton, on the other hand, is decomposer consuming organic carbon, and be called the anti-biological pump. On average, 50% of the global primary production in marine ecosystems is processed by bacteria.
Taiwan locates in a very unique geographical location that is affected by atmospheric disturbances (e.g. typhoons, monsoon, dust storms…etc.) frequently. And our research has highlighted the biogeochemical responses induced by the monsoon in the Kuroshio Current.

Visiting Fan's Guide: Muncie and How to Get There
Posted on May 11, 2010 by Alan
Estrada welcomes you to Muncie
What's that you say? You are undertaking the mythic journey of following your team to an away game against the Ball State Cardinals? Then you, my friend, are in for a treat. Do we have the pageantry of the Auburns and Alabamas? No. Do we have the coeds of the USCs and Arizona States? Unfortunately, no. Do we have the cultural explosion of a road game at Miami? Definitely not. You also don't have excellent odds of ending up in a bathtub full of ice in a seedy motel missing a kidney. Life is all about trade offs.
So you're venturing to Muncie and like any fan visiting a place for the first time, you head to the interwebs in search of a place to stay, some places to eat, what to expect, and what to do. And that, ladies and gents, is where your faithful team here at OTP comes into play. We've done the research and Lord knows drank and ate our way through Muncie so you don't have to. Consider it a thank you gift in advance for the W your team gave us.
On today's edition of the Visiting Fan's Guide? Muncie. How to get there and some background on the city itself.
Muncie… A Typical Middle-American Community
Don't take my word for it. Take the Rockefeller Institute of Social and Religious Research or the National Science Foundation who funded several studies about the "average" American right there in little old Muncie, Indiana. That was back when Muncie was a vibrant community and smack dab in the boom of manufacturing and plant work that left the community employed, happy, and most importantly, home to one particular family that moved their canning and jarring operation from Buffalo, NY to Muncie, IN. That family? The Ball family.
Muncie in its earliest stages, like many towns and cities in the midwest, was a Native American settlement for the Delaware Tribe. Clearly, it's home on the White River was appealing, and the area was claimed for European settlers who thought that would be a great place to live… regardless of who lived there currently. Who would have thunk that manifest destiny would have ended so well for all of us Ball State degree holders.
As the economy fluctuated in the mid to late 80's and late 90's, the manufacturing sector as a whole slowed remarkably, and in turn, so did Muncie's vibrant nature. Large factories closed, industrial natured jobs dried up, and Muncie began a slow descent into depression and economic downturn. The lone beacon through all of that was the campus itself being the de facto center of Muncie culture and life. Students will often lament not being part of a bigger and better city atmosphere, calling it "Funcie" sarcastically, but there are things to do and things to see if you look hard enough in Muncie.
How You Get There:
Most of our MAC brethren will probably make the drive to Muncie, but if flying in is your preference, you have only two viable options. There are flights to Muncie, as it does have an airport (code: MIE) but most flights within most readers' budgets will take you to Indianapolis (code: IND). From Indy to Muncie is roughly an hour and a very easy drive right up I-69. Yes… it's ok to make jokes about the interstate's number. Every Ball Stater does.
Famous Muncie References:
Think Muncie has produced nothing of substance other than the glass "Ball" jars that your grandma cans her blackberries in? Think again. References about Muncie, Indiana include the likes of:
In the 2010 movie Valentine's Day by Garry Marshall, the character "Jason" played by Topher Grace states to be from Muncie, Indiana
Norville Barnes (played by Tim Robbins), the lead character in the 1994 movie The Hudsucker Proxy is from Muncie, Indiana.
The 1986 movie Hoosiers by David Anspaugh about a small-town Indiana high school basketball team that wins the state championship was based on the 1954 Milan High School basketball team that beat the Muncie Central High School team from Muncie.
The comic book Knights of the Dinner Table is set in a fictionalized version of Muncie, and many characters are current or former Ball State University students.
The character Jerry from the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation, set in a fictional nearby town, is derided by his coworkers for having a time-share condo and planning his retirement in Muncie.
In Supernatural (TV series), the episode, "Hammer of the Gods", is set in Muncie, Indiana.
The movie, My Name is Jerry was shot in Muncie, Indiana and was produced by the Ball State University Institute for Digital Education and Entertainment (Sponsored by the Center for Media Design) and the College of Fine Arts.
In Close Encounters of the Third Kind Richard Dreyfuss' character is in Muncie, IN when he sees the UFO.
Toby Keith mentions Muncie in his song I Wanna Talk About Me
Let us all also not forget that Muncie was home to the short lived television series Armed and Famous where Erik Estrada and WeeMan were Muncie police. Perhaps most importantly though to the betterment of the world and society, Muncie was the former home of Playboy Playmates Jami Ferrell and Michelle Baena. Funcie indeed.
Now that you've learned about Muncie, check OTP over the next several days where we will bring you things to see, things to do, places to stay, places to eat, places to imbibe, and most importantly, what to expect on your visit to Scheumann Stadium on gameday.

R2K offers periods of respite and support to Bath & North East Somerset Council foster carers by providing a variety of group activities and events throughout the year for the children in their care.
individual work can also be considered for specific young people – who either cannot manage group settings or when specific carers need additional support.
The scheme can be accessed by all Bath & North East Somerset foster carers. Birth children of foster carers are also eligible (if they live within the fostering household). Alongside respite for foster carers R2K provides new opportunities for children and young people to interact with others their own age in similar situations. Events are supervised by friendly, experienced and highly skilled staff.
R2K organises activities one day a week during school holidays from Easter to October half-term for children and young people aged 5 - 17 years. Past activities have included making a pop video, pool parties, theme parks, sports events and more.
In the summer there is an opportunity for a week long residential holiday for children aged 8 - 16 years. These holidays are divided into two separate age groups catering to the needs and interests of the young people.
The team consists of a wide variety of highly skilled individuals from all backgrounds including education, youth and children's services, who are experienced in working with children and young people. The team is led by the R2K coordinator who is responsible for the recruitment, training and supervision of the sessional workers. Every sessional worker holds a current DBS check and is required to attend annual training tailored to their unique role.
Sessional workers are committed to the project and have long-standing relationships with attendees. This continuity is central to the success of the project.

Q: How do i use a given static resource in XAML I have a WPF code behind like this:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow(string url)
    {
        Resources.Add("url", url);
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

Now i have the XAML:
<Window x:Class="WayFair_Label_App.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WayFair_Label_App"
    xmlns:wv2="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf;assembly=Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<DockPanel>
    <wv2:WebView2 Name="webView"
                  Source="{StaticResource url}"
    />
</DockPanel>

So i try to use the given url string as source in webview2 as static resource.
Currently it says "Resource 'url' is not found". But why? How can i get this working?
I got this idea from this question.


The 50-bed Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Methodist Dallas delivers care around the clock to premature and low birth-weight infants born at our hospital and infants referred to us from hospitals throughout the North and East Texas region.
The Methodist Dallas NICU was established in 1978, the second facility of its kind in Dallas. In 2004, the NICU underwent a $2.7 million construction and renovation project. The Methodist Dallas neonatal transport program was the first of its kind in the Dallas area when it was established in 1980.

For GOP candidates, a tricky balance on immigration
By James Pindell Globe Staff,January 30, 2015, 12:00 a.m.
DES MOINES — For decades, before Republicans could begin exploring a run for president, they needed to figure out exactly what position they would take on federal subsidies to promote the use of corn-based ethanol in gasoline.
In the two states that kick off the presidential primary season there were differing views.
In Iowa, ethanol was the last best hope to help the family farmer, create jobs, and preserve the state's rural heritage. In New Hampshire, the idea of federal subsidies smacked against the state's frugal nature, especially when nearly no one in the state stood to gain financially.
But these days, a new issue has emerged that might even be thornier for candidates to balance than ethanol: immigration reform.
At the Iowa Freedom Summit last weekend, immigration played a prominent role in the speeches of all eight potential presidential candidates. To be sure, some of that was because the summit's host, Representative Steve King, is outspoken on the issue. King once suggested those in the country illegally spend so much time drug running across the border they have "calves the size of cantaloupes." After noticing that undocumented immigrants sat next to first lady Michelle Obama during the State of the Union address this month, he asked whether they were "deportable."
At the summit, Donald Trump, who says he is exploring a presidential run, suggested that "half" of those in the country illegally were criminals. Ben Carson, a retired Baltimore neurosurgeon also putting together a campaign, talked about a guest worker program that would essentially force immigrants to self-deport. Others stressed border security and called for cutting off government services to immigrants.
Iowa has seen a dramatic increase in immigrants in recent years, many of whom work on farms and in meat processing plants. A federal raid of a processing plant in Postville led to the arrest of nearly 400. After all was done, nearly a fifth of the town's 2,200 residents left, causing the local economy to collapse.
In New Hampshire, 2,200 miles from the Mexican border, the issue is more intellectual. While it appeals to a certain segment of the Republican base, polls suggest that the more popular candidates at the moment — Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney — are those who are interested more in appealing to Hispanic immigrants in particular than they are in being hard-line on the issue.
"Immigration as an issue does not take on the same importance in New Hampshire as it does in Iowa," said Wayne Lesperance, a New England College political science professor. "Iowans are much more exposed to immigrant labor than Granite Staters. In Iowa, there are over 92,000 farms. New Hampshire has just over 4,000. So, that exposure to legal migrant workers raises, by extension, the issue of illegal immigrants."
That said, Lesperance noted that there is a subset of New Hampshire Republicans who treat immigration, along with gun rights and the Common Core education standards, as a litmus test for candidates.
On the other hand, some New Hampshire Republican primary voters may seek candidates inclined to be more inclusive toward Hispanics, if only to make themselves more electable. In 2012 President Obama received 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, compared to Romney's 27 percent. The Republican National Committee issued a 100-page report after the election pointing out that the Hispanic population was growing quickly — and growing more Democratic.
The issue of immigration is also more complicated than simply saying yes or no to federal ethanol subsidies. However, New Hampshire conservative activist Jeff Chidester, a friend of King's, said the important difference among presidential candidates may not be their positions on the immigration, but how they emphasize it.
"The issue is important to the base, and one only needs to look at the campaign ads that candidate Scott Brown ran to understand that," said Chidester, referring to last fall's Republican Senate nominee. "New Hampshire lacks an anti-illegal-immigration advocate such as King, which means that it will be left to the New Hampshire GOP base, in general, to determine how far up on the list of priorities the issue of immigration will place."

Purity Products recently donated $50,000 to Vitamin Angels—enough to prevent up to 200,000 children from going blind, and they will continue to donate.
Purity Products was founded in 1993 by current President and CEO Jahn Levin in Great Neck, NY. While Purity Products was originally incorporated as Water Pure, Inc., and water filters were their first products, almost since their inception the passion, purpose and emphasis of our entire organization has been to develop science based nutritional supplementation and deliver them directly to their customers at an excellent value.
What started as a three person operation has blossomed into a thriving, nutritional and health products company, with well over two million customers. For nearly 20 years now, as Purity Products moved from Great Neck, to New Hyde Park, to Port Washington to Plainview, the company has thrived and their dedication to evidence based nutraceuticals has grown.
Purity Products has strong core values and believes in the fundamental principles of integrity, commitment and corporate responsibility. Purity works with the Vitamin Angels Alliance and Island Harvest to help make the world a healthier place to live. The key factor in the success of Purity Products has been our relentless pursuit of quality in every single product they carry.

SELDEN, N.Y. — President Trump on Friday warned of an uptick in violence from the transnational gang MS-13 that he said exploited weak political leadership and immigration enforcement to terrorize communities as the White House launched a renewed push for Congress to beef up funding for border security measures.
Trump's visit to a county racked by violence attributed to the gang — 17 murders over 18 months, according to local police — aimed to give "power and poignancy" to his message that lawmakers must do more to combat illegal immigration" a White House aide told reporters in a briefing.
Trump, who campaigned on a pledge to ramp up border security, has in recent months begun highlighting the threat from MS-13, whose formal name is La Mara Salvatrucha, a gang formed in Los Angeles decades ago with ties to El Salvador and Honduras.
Speaking Friday before an audience of law enforcement officers at Suffolk County Community College, Trump blamed past administrations for failing to enforce immigration laws.
Trump boasted that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are tougher than the criminal gangs, and at one point he encouraged police to be rougher with suspects who are apprehended, suggesting, for example, that they not protect suspects' heads while putting them into police cars.
Trump administration officials said they have begun implementing the president's directive to target MS-13 and other violent gangs and cartels. The Justice Department has requested funding for 300 additional federal prosecutors, said Rob Hur, the principal associate deputy attorney general, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions traveled this week to El Salvador to meet with officials from the Northern Triangle, including Honduras and Guatemala, in an effort to coordinate enforcement efforts.
Thomas Homan, the acting director of ICE who traveled here with Trump aboard Air Force One, said his agency has arrested 3,311 gang members this year, including 100 in New York, a majority of whom were affiliated with MS-13.
"Targeting, arresting and removing members of violent street gangs such as MS-13 sends a clear message to criminal enterprises around the world: You are not welcome in the United States, and you'll find no harbor here," Homan said.
Trump used his remarks to push Congress to boost funding for the administration's immigration crackdown, including the start of construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, 10,000 new ICE agents and 5,000 new Customs and Border Patrol officers. He also urged passage of laws to increase penalties on immigrants who enter the United States illegally, speed up deportations and penalize "sanctuary cities" that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
The House approved legislation late Thursday that would allocate $1.6 billion to the wall, and administration officials said they will make a major push for that funding in budget deliberations with Congress over the coming months.
Yet immigrant rights advocates said the administration is inflating the dangers of illegal immigration to instill fear in the public as a way to build political support for its stricter policies.
In Trump's first 100 days in office, ICE arrested 41,318 immigrants, up 37.6 percent over the same period last year. Almost 3 out of every 4 of those arrested have criminal records, including gang members and fugitives wanted for murder. But the biggest increase by far is among immigrants with no criminal records.
Also, many members of MS-13 are U.S. citizens and are under 18 years old.
Homan acknowledged that Trump had broadened the pool of undocumented immigrants considered a priority for removal, but he said the numbers are misleading because the Obama administration had sought to protect broad categories of immigrants from deportation. The numbers of non-criminals had fallen to such low levels, Homan said, that even a modest increase boosts the percentages.
Over the first 100 days of the Trump administration, 30,473 criminals were arrested from Jan. 22 to April 29, an 18 percent increase from the same period in 2016, according to ICE. Arrests of immigrants with no criminal records reached nearly 11,000, an increase of about 150 percent.

Wielka Synagoga Miejska we Lwowie – nieistniejąca synagoga znajdująca się we Lwowie przy ulicy Boimów 54, historycznie i obecnie zwanej Starożydowską.

Synagoga została zbudowana w latach 1799–1800 na miejscu starszej synagogi. Konieczność budowy synagogi wynikała z tego, że użytkowana dotąd przez gminę żydowską synagoga Złotej Róży nie mogła pomieścić wystarczającej liczby wiernych.

Po ataku III Rzeszy na ZSRR i wkroczeniu Wehrmachtu do Lwowa 30 czerwca 1941, synagoga została spalona przez Niemców 14 sierpnia 1941 wraz z innymi lwowskimi synagogami.

Po zakończeniu wojny nie została odbudowana.

When does your rifle safety come off or go back on? I've heard some teach putting the rifle on fire at the initial entryway before entry, conducting the entry, and then putting the rifle back on safe before moving. Then as you approach the next door the rifle goes back on fire, and it repeats.
I've heard others teach rifle on safe right up until you have a shootable threat, then rifle goes on fire, bang bang bang, safety comes back on once you decide you're done shooting. In this method flipping the safety off as you raise your rifle is an ingrained action. Advantage here being you have one set of safety on-off practices no matter whether you're making entries or running around in the woods. Disadvantage being possibly losing time manipulating the safety, especially for lefties using a righty gun.
Edit: In retrospect the individual TTP/S subforum might not have been the right place to post this. If someone can move this to General that would probably be best.
Across Tactical Training Companies and Military Schools and Police Academies you have different strands of thought regarding safety, orders and standards for opening fire, rules of engagement and other limiting factors to survival.
Eli recently met some guys that ran no safety everywhere. "Glock has no safety so why not rifle?"... This is not good logic. Not good tactical reasoning. Not good anything. Two separate platforms, two traditionally distinguished roles, two capabilities, are treating the 'same' in terms of safety. This is tactical relativism and absolute stupidity. Even worse, these guys were LAW ENFORCEMENT. All circumstances just increases the risk towards BLUFOR. I would not recommend this.
Think about the mistakes. Mission compromise. Noise compromise. The mission comes over ego.
John Mac and Phil Singleton have both said that operating without safety was comfortable for them, in given situations. Both of these fellas ex-SAS. John Mac in his former training company used to say that it was accepted to go safety off when entering the room or about to enter. He'd run safety off quite often, and did so during the Iranian Embassy Siege in London. Phil Singleton has stated similarly.
Climbing a fence? Safety on. It does not make sense to yourself or your buddy for the goal of getting over a fence. Now, if you have tacladders and you can point over the fence and see, then safety may come off to visualize the unknown area.
In "cemented" position in a limited entry? Safety off then you can scan. If you trust you visibility into the room, if you trust yourself, and if you can control the situation (experience, training, attitude).
Sounds good in theory and certainly the best 'across the board' SOP. But for an IOP in a fighting team, it hardly cuts it. If you can see the threat, the threat can see you. In close combat, this means a second until shots go off. I'm not sure I'd like to go safety -> engage. Or even worse... safety -> aim -> engage. It's a similar argument to point shooting. The more you can get out of the OODA loop cycle, the better you're going to be.
My personal opinion is that having the safety on doesn't cost much time at all. Safety manipulation occurs as you bring the rifle up on target. So unless you teach clearing looking through your sights, the time difference is negligible.
It is interesting how different units take different SOPs about safety use. I see a lot of NSW guys who teach or practice #2. A lot of CAG guys who are big fans of #3. The CAG guys are also very methodical about pre-combat checks and constantly knowing the condition of their rifle, not only whether it's loaded or unloaded but whether it's safe or on fire. As in keeping your thumb riding on top of the safety when it's on safe and you're just carrying it, or pressing up underneath it to ensure it's still on safe when you pick your rifle up if you had to unsling and set it down.
Safety on during the run-up to tactical operations; loading onto vehicles and aircraft to ferry you to your AO, etc. Once you're in your Area of Operations and inside the Yellow zone, safety off. Red zone, safety off until you exit, through the Yellow zone and into the Green zone. If you're chasing someone over a fence, I can see putting your safety on if you have supporting personnel to cover you. Of course, that also puts you at risk unless one of the ones covering you is on HIGH over-watch and can see into the area that you're pursuing your fleeing subject into. JMHO.
Do you re-engage the safety if you have to sprint? I'm a civvy so I have no idea what's taught in mil or LE circles but a lot of the open-enrollment instructors seem to insist that the safety must come on if you are running and not shooting as you move. Not sure if this is one of those things that they actually did operationally or whether it's partly for safety in a class setting around unfamiliar students.
And to further Eiffel's questions, can you clarify the different zones?

Ideally, I'm not sprinting, at any point. That's what my long range interdiction specialists are for. If I have to sprint at any point outside of the structure, someone is going to be on their way out of my unit. IF it were necessary, I would likely advise my folks in the Yellow zone to BOLO the subject.
Eiffel wrote: Not sure if this is one of those things that they actually did operationally or whether it's partly for safety in a class setting around unfamiliar students.
Everyone has their own comfort level. In my old unit, I was comfortable with any of the other shooters firing past me. I knew how good they were.
Ryan wrote: And to further Eiffel's questions, can you clarify the different zones?
Well, these days, I tend to think in LE terms when it comes to CQB engagements, mostly. Green zone is your outer perimeter where EMS, reporters and support staff are safe. Yellow zone is inside the LE perimeter set up to catch bad guys trying to squirt through and where SWAT/SRT personnel are suiting up and jumping onto the Bearcat.
Red zone is inside the SWAT/SRT perimeter where we're setting up on the barricaded structure.
Thanks for this. Here in Australia we have a similar system with hot and cold zones.
Always happy to help, sir.
We have safety on when assuming everyone's first position for entry, withing the engagement our index fingers are the safety. You buy everyone a beer if the index finger is caught by bodycam on the trigger when not firing.
This thing is definitely also dictated by your gun. For example, if it's an AK with a regular safety(we've all seen the cool-guy Spetsnaz quick-use selectors) you obviously won't be able to operate it quickly. So, when you get into combat, the safety comes off and it stays off. That's how the Eastern folks do it.

My recent trip to Spain, it was one of my great experience and excited travelling time and moments.
During my very first trip to Spain or Europe continents for a conference that brings people from all over the world to talk about freedom of expression and technology. It was a working conference, combining hands on training, policy discussions, and impromptu hacking on established tools as well as prototypes. It was such as great learning experience and tons of knowledge that I could bring back to my country (Cambodia). I still keen to continue working and research on these matters and applying to where that can make a great impacts to the community.
Visiting Valencia: It is a old and great city. It is not a big city but consist all friendly people and great old architecture buildings in the old town.
I was lucky enough that one of my old colleague who was working with me in Cambodia host me warmly at his house. I felt like a home stay enjoying many great Spanish foods and city tour.
Of course, many people who travelling to Spain would love to stay the local foods and they would never forgot about them.
Yeah, real football match . I made it!
Yangon, Myanmar is one of my wish list destination country and finally I could make it.
I got a chance to attend the BarCamp Yangon in January 31 and February 1 2016. It was my first time to participate the BarCamp in different country but attended many BarCamp events in Cambodia. So what is it BarCamp? It is an international network of user-generated conference or another word is self-organized conference that primarily focused around technology, social media, startup, community works and so on. They are open, participatory workshop-events, the content of which is provided by participants.
I attended the BarCamp Yangon as a Fedora Ambassador APAC and got the chance to provide 2 topics talks for IT Automation with Ansible and How to Contribute to Fedora Project. There were around 2500 participants came on the first day and as well as similar amount on the second day, most of them came with passionated to learn and explore about new topics, lessons or ideas which is different from some experiences that I had with other BarCamp.
First Day 1 in Yangon, I arrived around 4pm local time and head to hotel. Thanks to Pravin who booked a great hotel which provided the very good services and friendly staffs.
We were instructed to go very early at 8:30AM in the morning at the Myanmar ICT (MICT) Park to be able register our topics that we wish to talk for the BarCamp Yangon. Finally we arrived early as the hotel and venue is very closer and on the time of the event opening ceremony and everything were spoken in Burmese.
After the opening, we were able to get the topic registration forms and spending 20 minutes to register, waiting for the call from organizer but finally our topics were accepted to talk on the first day. I went to a few topics but these were in Burmese.
My first topic was on the IT Automation and Configuration Management with Ansible. There were a few people able to catch up about the tool and also my English.
It was almost the same structure, we were instructed to follow the same processes by taking the forms and waiting for the topic acceptant. Luckily again, our topics were accepted to talk for the second day. I was giving my second topic on "How to Contribute to Fedora and Benefit for Students".
Unlikely all my topics were conducted in English but I have to find the Burmese translator to translate all my talks. My friend Pravin were able to talk in English better way.
Pravin were able to talk about what he interested and intended to talk on the Unicode which is a hot topic in Myanmar.
We were able to distributed almost 50 Fedora DVDs to different participants within our talks.
I were able to meet many old friends who were in the BarCamp organizing team who were helping us a lot during the time in Yangon.
Pravin and I have similar favourite about the foods, places to visit and some other common points as a husband.
My flights were delayed 3 out of 4 times from Phnom Penh to Yangon. It was my first worst flights to stay in the airports longer than 9 hours.


Mindfulness is a meditative practice where you intentionally bring your attention to experiences in the here and now. It helps us to become more present in our day-to-day life by focusing on what we are doing instead of where we are going. For example, if you are drinking a cup of coffee, you are focused on enjoying that coffee – smelling the aroma, enjoying the taste in your mouth and not letting your mind wander to other things Mindfulness is something I try to practice daily.. It seems like it should be easy, but it was surprisingly more difficult than I thought it would be.
Some studies have suggested that having a regular mindfulness meditation can improve attention, emotional regulation, mood, self-awareness, and memory. There have even been some brain-imaging studies that suggest there may be functional and structural changes within the brain as a result of regular mindfulness practices, most notably the communication between certain parts of the brain.
Find a peaceful place and sit comfortably. Straighten your upper body and sit relaxed.
Notice 5 things you can see. Look around the room and notice 5 things you see.
Close your eyes take 5 deep breaths – breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, and breathe out for 8 seconds. Sometimes I like to put my hand on my belly when I do this so I can feel the movement of breath through my body. When you exhale slowly, you are exercising your parasympathetic nervous system which helps calm you down.
Take a few moments to notice what your arms are doing. Is there any sensation in them? Are you touching anything with your fingers? What does it feel like?
Take a few moments to notice your legs. What do your feet feel like on the floor? Are they touching anything? What do your clothes feel like against your legs? What does it feel like when you wiggle your toes?
Notice 3 things you can hear. What can you hear in the room? Try and listen and notice 3 things you can hear.
Notice 2 things you can smell. Some people light a candle when they meditate or spray lavender scent.
Notice one thing you taste.
Take your attention back to your breath. Take as many deep breaths (like in step 2) as you like.
Know that your mind will likely wander. When it does, without judgement, gently redirect it to focus on your body again. With this practice over time, you might notice your mind wanders less and less.
I have patients that practice the 5,4,3,2,1 mindfulness practice multiple times per day. I have also tried this practice and have found my wind wandering frequently.
I try to practice mindfulness meditation for at least 10 minutes a day. I find it easiest to practice mindfulness when I am sitting and drinking my coffee, or walking to an appointment. Having a regular mindfulness practice has helped reduce my overall stress levels.

How much is Jesse Rutherford worth? – Wondering how wealthy & rich is Jesse Rutherford? Or maybe you're just curious about Jesse Rutherford's age, body measurements, height, weight, hair color, eye color, bra & waist size, bio, wiki, wealth and salary?
Jesse James Rutherford (Newbury Park, California, August 21, 1991) is an American singer and actor, best known for being the vocalist and leader of the band The Neighborhood.
The Jesse Rutherford's statistics like age, body measurements, height, weight, bio, wiki, net worth posted above have been gathered from a lot of credible websites and online sources. But, there are a few factors that will affect the statistics, so, the above figures may not be 100% accurate.
