Abraham Must Continue With England – Parlour
by SD Reporter September 6, 2019 September 6, 2019 014
Chelsea striker, Tammy Abraham has received a strong charge to continue his international career with England, rather than make a switch to Nigeria, as former Arsenal midfielder, Ray Parlour believes it is better for the lanky lad to stick with what he has already started.
Having already starred for England at youth level and in some B-internationals, Parlour is of a view that the four-goal hero with Chelsea after four matches in the English Premier League this season should not stop what he started.
Although Parlour went on to affirm that the final decision is up to the former Aston Villa striker, The Gunners' ex-star added that Abraham will surely get a call by England if he continues scoring for Chelsea, but admitted that the youngster's international future is a big subject of debate, as he is eligible to represent either Nigeria or England.
Although he said Abraham has the final say on what he wants, Parlour advised the England U21 striker to shun Nigeria's move for his services, saying the Chelsea lad should continue his career with the Three Lions, for which he has featured in two friendly matches.
Nigeria have been told to wait until April next year to know the player's final decision over his international career, but Parlour reckons that Abraham will be handed a recall to England coach, Gareth Southgate's team if he maintains his current goals scoring form.
Parlour told talkSPORT: "Once you start with a country as a youngster, I think you should stick with them.
"If he keeps scoring goals, he will definitely get into the England squad. He's got an opportunity to be in the squad, but obviously he won't be in front of Harry Kane.
"As a manager, you'd be on the phone straight away saying, 'You're in my plans, keep playing as you are, and you'll get an opportunity'. That's what I'd be doing if I was Gareth Southgate.
"It's up to the player; he's looking at whether he'll get an opportunity. It's a battle, because there are a lot of good players at England, and you'll get a lot more caps if you go elsewhere."

Q: custom animation in ursina engine I am trying to play my own animation in the ursina engine but I have no idea how to. According to the documentation, I would need this code:
    from ursina import *

    app = Ursina()
    window.color = color._20

    animation = Animation('ursina_wink', fps=2, scale=1, filtering=None, autoplay=True)
    EditorCamera()
    app.run()

And that one does indeed work. However, I do not understand how I can replace the default animation with my own frames ('ursina_wink' is inbuilt).
The documentation says there is a frame parameter, so here is what I tried so far:
    from ursina import *

    app = Ursina()
    window.color = color._20
    coin1 = load_texture('animation/coin1')
    coin2 = load_texture('animation/coin2')
    coin3 = load_texture('animation/coin3')
    coin4 = load_texture('animation/coin4')
    coin5 = load_texture('animation/coin5')
    coin6 = load_texture('animation/coin6')

    animation = Animation('test',fps=2, scale=1, filtering=None, autoplay=True, frames = (coin1, coin2,coin3,coin4,coin5,coin6))
    EditorCamera()
    app.run()

But I cannot see anything on the screen and I cannot find an example online for it. Would really appreciate some help.

A: It loads an image sequence as a frame animation. You can load it like this:
Animation('coin') and it will take all the frames starting with 'coin' and load them alphabetically.
I will clarify this in the documentation.

A: I have come across your error and I have a simple solution, try to convert the images into a gif because in the ursina documentation it says that you can also use a gif wich is way more simple but less customizable, here's the text:
Loads an image sequence as a frame animation.
Consider using SpriteSheetAnimation instead if possible.
So if you have some frames named image_000.png, image_001.png, image_002.png and so on,
you can load it like this: Animation('image')

You can also load a .gif by including the file type: Animation('image.gif')

So, I hope this helped you.

When reciting the Creed, Catholics profess, therefore, to believe in the sanctity of the Church. This sanctity, nonetheless, is often not visible, especially when the weaknesses of Her members appear to demonstrate the opposite.
Is a Sinner Linked to the Church?
How can one explain that the sin of a member of the Church does not affect Her? The answer lies in the twofold reality of the Church, both supernatural and natural, divine and human.
However, there is an important distinction. When a member of the Church sins, he does not sin as a member of the Church or because of the Church. He sins because he is unfaithful to Her principles and to the life of grace She generated in him. Even in this state of sin, a member of the Church in one sense continues to be holy. He is holy because a holy sign, Baptism, links him to the Church and because the Church gives him the principles of truth and holiness contained in Her doctrine, morals, and sacraments.
A sinner is, therefore, a bad member of the Church, who diverges from Her by sinning; it is a partial divergence as long as he retains the Faith. He is an unhealthy member of the Church—like a tumor in a living body, to use Saint Augustine's realistic comparison.
The Church contains sinners. But she does not contain sin. It is only in virtue of what remains pure and holy in them that sinners belong to her—that is to say in virtue of the sacramental characters of Baptism and Confirmation, and of the theological habits of faith and hope if they still have them. That is the part of their being by which they still cleave to the Church and are still within her. But in virtue of the mortal sin which has found its way into them and fills their hearts, they belong chiefly to the world and to the devil. "He who commits sin is of the devil" (1 John 3:8).
Therefore, although sin is often present in the human element of the Church, it does not affect the Church Herself. She continues as an adequate means of salvation given by Our Lord Jesus and animated and vivified by the Holy Spirit.
Fr. Auguste-Alexis Goupil, S.J., keenly observes that sanctity in the Church is not measured with statistics. For the Church to be holy, all Her members do not have to be perfect. Because of human weakness and man's moral liberty, which God respects, such perfection is impossible.
The Church's sanctity derives from Her principles, sacraments, and hierarchy as established by Our Lord.
What can be said, on the other hand, about the self-destructive conduct of so many bishops?
1. These four attributes or characteristics (traditionally called "marks" of the Church)—her Unity, Sanctity, Catholicity, and Apostolicity—were introduced in the Nicene Creed at the Council of Constantinople (381 A.D.). These marks, the Council declared, distinguish the true Church of Christ from all other societies that claim this title and prove that She alone is the depository of the blessings of Redemption and the sole way to salvation that God offers to man (Cf. William H.W. Fanning, s.v. "The Church," in Catholic Encyclopedia , Vol. III, pp. 758-760).

Lindsey Buckingham Unveils New Material at L.A. Show
by Phil Gallo
Lindsey Buckingham unveiled the songs that will be on his September studio release, "Seeds We Sow," in an intimate concert Friday night (Apr. 22) that was filmed for broadcast and a DVD. Telling the audience at the 1,500-seat Saban Theater in Los Angeles, "I may have made my best work yet," Buckingham offered six songs from "Seeds We Sow" in a 19-song set that began with "Shut Us Down" and ended with the title track of the new album.
Throughout the evening, the Fleetwood Mac guitarist, singer and songwriter alternated between acoustic and electric guitar, playing solo and with his three-member band. There was never a moment, however, when his skills as a lead and rhythm guitarist were not the defining feature of a song, whether it was the still-hypnotic "Trouble," a grungy rendition of "Tusk" or a new tune with echoes of R.E.M. and the Psychedelic Furs.
"You must look for what is essential, what is the center, and that center is the guitar," he told the audience. "That child still lives within me."
Fleetwood Mac classics "I'm So Afraid," "Go Your Own Way" and "Second Hand News" made it into the set, alongside solo gems such as "Turn It On" and "Go Insane." In talking about his life as a father and husband, the 61-year-old Buckingham also drew a distinction between his hitmaking run in the 1970s and 80s and his self-financed new work.
"I live and work in two worlds," Buckingham explained. "On one hand, the big machine is Fleetwood Mac and other entities... and on the other hand, there's a small machine, the solo work." He went on to draw a comparison between studio movies and independent films, relating it to his world. "It is the small movies that feed the heart and allow us to take risks."
"Seeds We Sow" is Buckingham's third studio album in five years, a steady pace for a man who went nearly 14 years between solo releases. Formerly with Warner Music Group, Buckingham has not decided on how the new disc will be distributed.

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas
In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac's epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.
Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn't get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band's Grammy-winning sound.
Hernan Rojas's story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet's coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.
Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.

3rd FORMER WEST Research Congress: Beyond What Was Contemporary Art
If we imagine Contemporary Art to be a historical period that emerged from 1989 in parallel to other hegemonic formations such as global neoliberalism, could it be argued that, in sync with the current seismic shifts in society, politics, and economy, it has now reached a dead end? Is Contemporary Art—art in and of the epoch of neoliberalism—on its way out, together with the system that made it possible? What kind of challenges and possibilities might then lie before us in the space of art in times when "business as usual" is no longer an option? Can we speculate collectively on how to move beyond the present confines of Contemporary Art's normalized and normalizing practices, and articulate what can appear from Contemporary Art's "formerness?"
Part One of the 3rd FORMER WEST Congress puts forward a number of propositions to engage with these questions during a two-day gathering of artistic and cultural practitioners on 19–20 April 2012 in Vienna. Shaped by these discussions, Part Two unfolds in Utrecht in September 2012. The 3rd FORMER WEST Research Congress, Part One: Beyond What Was Contemporary Art is developed by BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht and co-curated by Marion von Osten, FORMER WEST research advisor and Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Vienna.
At the 3rd FORMER WEST Research Congress, Part One the following group of remarkable artists, curators, and scholars gather in Vienna to speculate about possibilities for art vis-à-vis the increasing forces of antagonism across the world and the emerging imaginaries that accompany them: aaa / Atelier d'architecture autogérée (urban research collective platform, Paris); Nancy Adajania (cultural theorist and curator, Mumbai); CAMP (collaborative project and platform, Mumbai); Ekaterina Degot (art historian and curator, Moscow); Jesko Fezer (artist and architect, Berlin); h.arta (artist collective, Timisoara); Christian Höller (writer, Vienna); Irit Rogoff (theorist and curator, London); and Ruth Sonderegger (philosopher, Vienna).
Venue: The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Secession, Friedrichstraße 12, Vienna
The 3rd FORMER WEST Congress, Part One: Beyond What Was Contemporary Art, is realized in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Secession, Vienna and is generously supported by the Mondriaan Fund, Amsterdam; ERSTE Foundation, Vienna; and the Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Vienna.

Bush Administration Gave 'False Presentation' Of The True Intelligence, Briefer Charges
By Ryan Grim and Amanda Terkel
WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidates have been arguing over the past week that, in hindsight, President George W. Bush made the best decision he could have based on faulty intelligence when he launched the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
In this telling of history, Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are cast as victims, and therefore blameless for the carnage and chaos that has resulted. But the man who briefed Bush and Cheney in the run-up to the war, former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell, punctured that story Tuesday evening during an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
It wasn't that the intelligence community was giving the administration wholesale faulty intelligence. It was that the administration was lying to the American people about what the intelligence actually showed.
In two key areas, Morell said, Cheney gave out false information, both on the connection between Saddam Hussein's regime and al Qaeda, and on Iraq's pursuit of nuclear weapons. Remove those two charges, and there is little way to justify an invasion to the public -- even if one assumed, incorrectly, that Hussein was in possession of chemical or biological weapons. With no missile system to deliver such weapons to the U.S., and no connection to al Qaeda, the mere presence of such weapons -- some of which the U.S. had delivered to Iraq years earlier -- would hardly warrant war. Indeed, Syria's Bashar Assad, sitting just next door to Iraq, was in possession of chemical weapons and wasn't invaded.
Matthews played a clip of Cheney saying on NBC's "Meet the Press" in March 2003: "We know [Saddam Hussein] has been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons. And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
Here is Matthews' conversation with Morell that followed:
MATTHEWS: You're the briefer for the president on intelligence. You're the top person to go in and tell him what's going on. You see Cheney make this charge he's got a nuclear bomb and then they make subsequent charges he's knew how to deliver it … and nobody raised their hand and said, "No that's not what we told him."
MORELL: Chris, Chris Chris, what's my job, right? My job --
MATTHEWS: To tell the truth.
MORELL: My job -- no, as the briefer? As the briefer?
MATTHEWS: OK, go ahead.
MORELL: As the briefer, my job is to carry CIA's best information and best analysis to the president of the United States and make sure he understands it. My job is to not watch what they're saying on TV and say --
MATTHEWS: You think TV's a joke?
MORELL: What?
MATTHEWS: You think it's a joke that Cheney said that?
MORELL: That's not my job. That's not my job.
MATTHEWS: Did you know he did that?
MORELL: No, I wasn't paying attention, I was studying what was on my desk every morning.
MATTHEWS: So you're briefing the president on the reasons for war, they're selling the war, using your stuff, saying you made that case when you didn't. So they're using your credibility to make the case for war dishonestly, as you just admitted.
MORELL: Look, I'm just telling you --
MATTHEWS: You just admitted it.
MORELL: I'm just telling you what we said --
MATTHEWS: They gave a false presentation of what you said to them.
MORELL: On some aspects. On some aspects.
MATTHEWS: He had a nuclear weapon!
MORELL: I'm telling you what we said.
MATTHEWS: That's a big deal.
MORELL: Chris, I'm telling you what we said.
MATTHEWS: Do you agree? It's a big deal that they claimed they had a weapon when you knew they didn't.
MORELL: It's a big deal. It's a big deal.
Matthews later quizzed Morell on the Bush administration's implication that Iraq was connected to al Qaeda:
MORELL: What they were saying about the link between Iraq and al Qaeda publicly was not what the intelligence community --
MATTHEWS: Why were they doing it?
MORELL: I don't know, you need to ask them.
MATTHEWS: But what do you think is the reason, do I have to tell you the reason? To get us into the freaking war!
MORELL: I think they were trying to make a stronger case for the war.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES ALIEN ABDUCTION
Posted on October 20, 2017 by KEN PFEIFER
Florida has a U.S. senator who once flew aboard the Space Shuttle.
A congressional candidate from Miami can go one better: Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera says she's been aboard a spaceship too. But this one was crewed by aliens. As in extraterrestrials. Three blond, big-bodied beings — two females, one male — visited her when she was 7 years old and have communicated telepathically with her several times in her life, she says. (Sen. Bill Nelson served as payload officer aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1986. All seven people aboard were from Earth. As far as is known.) Rodriguez Aguilera, 59, a Republican who is running to replace retiring Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, recounted her experience with the ETs during a 2009 television interview.
She described "going up" inside the spaceship — though whether it went into space or just hovered around town was left unclear.
"I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes," Rodriguez Aguilera said.
In two separate videos posted to YouTube years ago, one by local Spanish-language station America TeVe and another by a political critic with the user name DoralGirl26, Rodriguez Aguilera spoke on television in detail about her extraterrestrial experiences. She said the alien beings reminded her of the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, with arms outstretched.
The Miami Herald asked Rodriguez Aguilera about her experiences Friday. She responded with a statement that waxed astronomical, but sadly failed to mention close encounters of any kind.
"For years people, including Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter and astronauts have publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects and scientists like Stephen Hawking and institutions like the Vatican have stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone," she said. "I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe."
Rodriguez Aguilera was a Doral councilwoman from 2012-14 and served as the city's first economic developer. She works as an entrepreneur and has taught leadership seminars at local universities.
She declared her candidacy in late August and raised about $10,000 during the most recent fundraising quarter, she said — a paltry amount she attributed to halting her campaign during Hurricane Irma.
Rodriguez Aguilera's daughter is former Republican National Committee Hispanic outreach director Bettina Inclán Agen. Her son-in-law, Jarrod Agen, is Vice President Mike Pence's deputy chief of staff.
Miami attorney Rick Yabor, a frequent political commentator in Spanish-language media, said Friday that Rodriguez Aguilera's account could hurt her congressional campaign. "Being a politician, to come out and say that, it's odd," Yabor said. "She got into details that are not very mainstream. Someone who's running for Congress — you've got to raise a lot of money. A donor might have second thoughts.

GRAND RAPIDS — It was Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers on Monday, and as expected, Tigers fans packed the house. When the first pitch was thrown, it was standing-room-only; scores of peanut shells already littered the ground, crackling underfoot; almost everyone in sight had a pizza slice or a beer in hand. The crowd was briefly hushed, but then broke into applause as, hundreds of miles away, the ump called ball one.
This was Opening Day, not at the ballpark, but at The Mitten Brewing Company in Grand Rapids. For West Michiganders who, like those congregated Monday, can't make it to game itself, The Mitten should be a good substitute all season long.
The place emanates a baseball feel. The first seats available upon walking in aren't at a table — they're seats from old Tiger Stadium displayed in the lobby. Once inside, Tigers insignias, flanked by vintage portraits of old teams and baseball legends, decorate the walls. The tapboard and the menu complete the baseball theme: Beers like the Triple Crown Brown and pizzas like the Thai Cobb pay homage to the game.
This is all the intention, the "field of dreams" if you will, of The Mitten's founders and owners, Chris Andrus and Max Trierweiler. Their earliest plans for The Mitten envisioned a baseball-themed brewpub. "We wanted to create our dream place" said Andrus, "the place that we'd like to visit." That place was a place where people can drink really good beer while watching their beloved Detroit Tigers.
They built it, and they hoped that the fans would come. So far they've had to rely more on the place's organic marketing than on any blowout promotions. Though they initially planned to have their opening day on the Tigers' 2012 Opening Day, they had to push it back to the World Series more than six months later. As Tigers fans will remember, the Series was painfully short; The Mitten's first season came to an end just days after it started.
This seemed like a problem for a baseball-themed pub: "Our biggest fear was the offseason," Andrus admitted. But the placed boomed, and demand was so high that baseball took the backseat. "All we were trying to do was catch up during the offseason," said Trierweiler.
With no time to market or even showcase itself, The Mitten had to rely on fans to figure things out for themselves. That appears to be working.
David Collins and a handful of relatives — some from out of town — sat down at a table just before the first pitch. Collins had been there once before and noticed that "there's something about the place that just feels like baseball." His cousin Chandler agreed, and after a few innings began to admire the pub's energy. "I'd watch any game here," he said.
This season, The Mitten will aim to build on the fan base it already has and expand its baseball connection. The brewery has added a chili dog pizza to the menu (Andrus described it as a "a yesterdog, but flat"). It will also have a tap at Fifth Third Ballpark this summer, and will offer $1 off any food or drink item for anyone who brings in a ticket stub from a Whitecaps game. Trierweiler suggests that they might even host a whiffleball tournament in the parking lot before a Sunday afternoon game.
Right now, both the Tigers and the Mitten Brewing Co. are off to a hot start. Even though the Tigers won't win every game, The Mitten probably will.
Love the article, glad I got to be a part of your experience there!
Thanks for letting us crash your table!

At least one Tory minister was being trained up on the price of household goods after gaffes by Dave Cameron and Boris Johnson, PRWeek's conference blogger has claimed.
In her latest blog on the Conservative Party Conference, Edelman's public affairs director Sarah Richardson recounted a special advisor's revelation after the Prime Minister overestimated the price of a loaf of bread.
Cameron explained that he had a Samsung bread marker in an interview with LBC Radios's Nick Ferrari yesterday morning, shortly after London mayor Johnson was unable to name the price of a pint of milk.
Richardson, who said that Cameron's team were "chillaxed" ahead of today's speech, also claimed that International Development Secretary Justine Greening left the conference to watch Fleetwood Mac.


Gisila and a Friend's New Book!
Meet Gisila: One of Claus' spies assigned to help Eldon in his quest to kill Krampus. And no — she's not happy about it.
We want to take a second to pimp our friend (and Malice and Mistletoe backer!) James Schannep's newest book — SUPERPOWERED. It's basically a choose your own adventure for adults. I had a sneak peak at an early draft and it's a ton of fun.
You might also notice that the below art looks a little familiar. That's because it's the work of Malice and Mistletoe's very own Jack Purcell. Killing it, as always.
James is currently giving away signed copies of the series in celebration of the latest release. CHECK IT!


I must admit I am not really a fan of eggrolls. At least the traditional Chinese version. I like the idea of them, I just can't find one that I like. We have a friend who makes traditional Vietnamese eggrolls, and those I like. Apparently I like lots of meat Those are mainly ground pork, with some bean threads and a few other things. I could eat those every day, they are so good.
These eggrolls are obviously not your traditional eggrolls, which is probably why I like them. I found these on Pinterest, and knew I had to try them. They have chicken, bacon, and avocado – one of my favorite combinations of food! Plus an avocado dipping sauce. What is not to like with these? Per the notes on the original recipe, I did add cheese to the filling. It really did make everything stick together, and worked perfectly with the filling.
I was very happy with how these turned out. They were a great dinner that was on the healthy side. The eggrolls are baked instead of fried. These would make for a great appetizer or snack at a party. And if you wanted to go all out, these would be amazing deep fried! The dipping sauce is super easy to put together, and worked great with the egg rolls. I am not a fan of ranch dressing, but here the seasonings were perfect. Even my super picky 7 year old ate some of these.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush baking sheet with olive oil, or use a sil pat liner.
In a large bowl combine chicken, diced avocado, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined. Lay 1 eggroll wrapper on the counter. Fill with about 1/3 cup of filling, leaving about 1/2 in border around the edges. Wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the sides over. Then starting with edge closest to you, fold over, making sure the filling stays inside. Use a little additional water to seal if needed. (You are folding like a burrito) Repeat with the rest of the filling.
Place the eggrolls seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. You can use the broiler for the last minute if you want them more golden. Slice in half on an angel to serve.
While the eggrolls are baking you can make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, using a fork, mash the avocado. Mix with the ranch seasoning and the mayo until smooth. Add the lime juiced and stir (helps prevent it from browning).
Serve sliced eggrolls with dipping sauce.


Eurythmy therapy, a mindfulness-oriented movement therapy in Anthroposophic Medicine (AM) which was introduced by Rudolf Steiner in 1912, focuses on the relationship between life forces, the physical body, soul and spirit (1–3). In eurythmy therapy specific movements and gestures for the respective indication are taught to patients by the therapists, mostly in individual therapy sessions. They are intended as expressions of e.g. music, speech and soul through the whole body. Patients are guided to inwardly 'feel' these movements and gestures. The aim of eurythmy therapy is to strengthen the salutogenetic resources of the patients and to stimulate somatic healing processes (1, 2, 4, 5).
Currently, eurythmy therapy is used for a variety of indications including e.g. diseases of the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular system, psychosomatic diseases, and respiratory organs. It is used for both acute and chronic diseases (5–7). The effectiveness of eurythmy therapy in a therapeutic context has been investigated in a number of studies; among these were single case studies, pre-post studies without control groups, and non-randomized comparative studies (2, 8).
Two systematic literature reviews concluded that eurythmy therapy is a relevant add-on therapy in the therapeutic context with beneficial effects on clinically relevant health-related outcomes (2, 8). A positive impact of eurythmy therapy was found e.g. on health-related quality of life (9–14), anxiety disorders (13, 15) and fatigue symptoms (16). A single-armed pilot study found beneficial effects on autonomic regulation and self-regulation in arterial essential hypertension patients (10). Basic research data underline rhythmic effects of specific eurythmy exercises on cardiac autonomic regulation (17). Regarding brain tumors in children and adolescents, a single-arm study has shown short-term effects on neuromotor and cognitive functioning after eurythmy therapy (18). The Anthroposophic Medicine Outcomes Study (AMOS), a prospective cohort study referring to patients with various chronic diseases, investigated the effects of a multimodal intervention including eurythmy therapy. Subgroup analysis of patients using eurythmy therapy as their main therapy modality showed positive effects on chronic low back pain and functional back-related disability (19, 20), asthma severity in children/adolescents with asthma (11), and core symptoms in 1-16 year-old patients with attention deficit with hyperactivity (ADHD) (14]. A positive impact of eurythmy therapy in five boys with ADHD was also found in a previous study. It showed positive results in e.g. concentration, and movement skills (21).
Currently, several interesting trials are completed and being published (e.g.): One randomized-controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of eurythmy therapy compared to yoga and physiotherapeutic exercises for chronic low back pain (Witten/Herdecke University, Germany, Charité Berlin, Germany, Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Hävelhöhe, Berlin, Germany) (22). First data showed that, compared to the 'gold standard' physiotherapeutic exercises, yoga and eurythmy therapy were similarly effective in reducing pain, while there was a significant benefit for eurythmy therapy in improving SF-12's mental health component compared to yoga and physiotherapeutic exercises (23). Further, the Alanus University (Alfter, Germany) in cooperation with the ARCIM-Institute (Filderstadt, Germany) is conducting a study on the psycho-physiological effects (e.g. heart rate variability, blood pressure, respiration, pulse and heat development in the body) of eurythmy-therapeutic 'sound movement', and a study on the effectiveness of eurythmy therapy in pollen allergy. In addition, a study on stress-prevention through eurythmy therapy is ongoing at the Alanus University.

How is your picture-taking coming along? I hope all is well with you... and those that you love.
Today, we are talking about a subject that is often discussed, but rarely will you find helpful information on how to conquer this challenging aspect of photography.
The subject? How to successfully manually focus a lens.
With today's sophisticated autofocus technology, why would you ever want to manually focus your camera lens?
Some situations, such as low contrast, or a busy convoluted background, can wreak havoc with autofocus sensors. Having the ability to switch to manual focus can save a picture opportunity.
There are other moments where foreground objects might cause a problem with autofocus, or at a minimum create a 'delay', and then your picture is gone.
Our FREE Quick Guide this week is titled "Six Tips and Techniques for Manually Focusing a Lens".
It was written for us by Aaron Seefeld. Aaron is rapidly becoming one of our 'tech' experts here at Photzy.
Aaron addresses the issue of why you may want to manually focus a lens within the paragraphs of his guide.
You'll encounter scenes where autofocus won't get the job done.
Maybe it's a requirement for a challenge or an assignment.
Many excellent older less expensive lenses don't have an autofocus drive mechanism.
Some people prefer to do the job themselves.
If you've struggled in the past with manual focus… You are going to LOVE this guide!
