While Mu Chen's laughter echoed clearly in the air above Demonic Python City, the atmosphere between the heavens and the earth slowly tensed. Many stared at each other, and they could faintly sense the sparks flying in the air.
Wu Tian was not surprised by Mu Chen's reply. His smile turned more sinister, and as he clenched his fist, the overwhelming surge of fighting spirit suddenly exuded a monstrous bloody aura like a sea of blood.
Wu Tian smirked at Mu Chen and said, "Seeing that Nine Nether Palace has decided to invade us, you will have to pay for the consequences. As for now, don't even expect Lord Nine Nether to rescue you."
Though he was all smiles, his extremely intense killing intent was evident.
"That should be my line to you, commander Wu Tian! When Lord Blood Hawk arrives, the only thing he will see is the heavy loss incurred by the Blood Hawk Troop!" Mu Chen exclaimed with a laugh.
Wu Tian leaned back and gave a loud roar of laughter. The next moment, his laughter immediately turned menacing as he waved his hands. Then he spoke with a jeer, "We shall see who will be destroyed today!"
As Wu Tian's palm descended, the Blood Hawk Troop clad in red armor yelled abruptly. Their voices were like thunder, and their blood-red fighting spirit swirled up toward the skies. At that moment, the skies were dyed in the tint of blood red.
The bloody sea beneath Wu Tian's feet grew to be even more enormous. An immense pressure spread through the heavens and the earth, rousing a devastating storm.
When she saw this, Tang Bing's face changed slightly. Wu Tian had commanded the Blood Hawk Troop for many years. He was deeply familiar with their materialized fighting spirit. When he was wielding the fighting spirit, its power was unbelievably fearsome and valiant.
"Mu Chen..." Tang Bing gazed at Mu Chen, her eyes full of worry.
Mu Chen gave her a gentle smile. He said softly, "Don't worry, Miss Tang Bing. The Nine Nether Troop is the fruit of your labor all these years. They are not weaker than any other army. As Miss Tang Bing has entrusted them to me, I will not allow anyone to defeat them."
Although Nine Nether's disappearance had weakened the position of the Nine Nether Palace, Tang Bing had never stopped training the Nine Nether Troop. She even sacrificed her share of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to the training of the troop for the sake of their final drop of power. It was not exaggerating to say that she had put her heart and soul into the army.
It was precisely due to Tang Bing's effort that the Nine Nether Troop was able to stand strong without leaving Nine Nether Palace at its lowest point.
While in numbers they were no match for the Blood Hawk Troop, in terms of quality, they were every bit as competent.
Tang Bing looked at Mu Chen's gentle smile. Her heart couldn't help but soar, and the skin around her eyes reddened slightly. Her perseverance all these years was looked down upon as stupidity by others, but still she fought on. Now that her hard work and determination were finally acknowledged, she was evidently touched.
Tang Bing opened her red lips slightly, and her pleasing voice sounded even more gentle than usual. "Be careful, then."
Mu Chen nodded. He looked down at the Nine Nether Troop clad in black armor. There was no longer any fear in their eyes but a will to battle long suppressed. Perhaps they, too, had been waiting for this moment all this time.
As long as you harbor no fear, I can lead you to face any foe, Mu Chen stated in his heart. His black pupils focused at once, and he signaled with his arm.
All of the Nine Nether Troop's halberds stomped at once, and a low-pitched bellow echoed in unison through the skies like thunder. A dark fighting spirit rose majestically, shrouding the skies like black clouds.
The two fighting spirits filled the heavens and the earth, seemingly splitting the sky into two.
The crowd slowly evacuated the area occupied by the fighting spirits of the two troops. They clearly understood that the scale of devastation when the battle started this time would be incomparable to the one before. Furthermore, the city might even be destroyed in the process, as the two armies seemed like they were holding nothing back.
The entire city was silent. In the sky, the two fighting spirits howled like a flood, ravaging the heavens and the earth like two gargantuan beasts preparing to savagely face off.
In that tense atmosphere, both Mu Chen and Wu Tian focused their gazes.
The two overwhelming fighting spirits rushed out at the same time, gushing like a million waves, sweeping towards each other in a rampage.
All eyes were on the sky. The crowd braced themselves to witness a battle between two great troops in Daluo Territory. The space where the two fighting spirits clashed twisted all of a sudden. A silhouette of light burst out of nowhere. The silhouette turned his palm downwards and slammed on the two colliding fighting spirits, casually extinguishing the immense mass of energy.
The sudden plot twist caused an uproar in the city. All eyes were on the individual who had appeared, and then the whole city was boiling with surprise and awe.
"Isn't that… one of the Three Kings of Daluo Territory — the Sleeping King?"
"Who would've thought... even the big shots are alarmed now."
In the sky, Mu Chen and Wu Tian were both stunned by the sight of the silhouette. They both clasped their hands in a fist and said, "Master!"
The bright silhouette waved his hands. It seemed like the actual body of the Sleeping King himself was not present, but only a manifestation of his spiritual energy. However, he suppressed the fighting spirits of both Blood Hawk Troop and Nine Nether Troop by his spiritual body alone. The scale of his strength was immeasurable.
"While your battle is lawful, Demonic Python City is an important city. If it were to be destroyed, it would cause a huge loss," the Sleeping King explained plainly.
"This was not the intention of Blood Hawk Palace. However, this Mu Chen is overbearing, not knowing his limits. I beg you, Master, revoke his right as a commander!" Wu Tian accused in a deep voice.
"Nine Nether Palace only seeks to regain our lost city, but the Blood Hawk Palace obstructed us time and again. It is only fair to pay the price." Mu Chen defended in an equally aggressive tone.
The Sleeping King gestured again to stop their argument. "This is not a battleground for you to start a war, and you should moderate yourselves. Furthermore, Daluo Territory is embarking on a conquest soon. You are free to conquer the vast territory beyond, so why bother with a city?"
Wu Tian frowned. The Sleeping King was one of the most prominent persons in Daluo Territory, and Wu Tian did not dare to go against his words. Nevertheless, it was of no benefit to the Blood Hawk Palace to leave matters as they currently were.
"Haha, Master Meng, your words are indeed reasonable. However, the Blood Hawk Palace has operated in these cities for year. Don't you think it's too easy for the Nine Nether Palace to just take back the cities like this?" Just when Wu Tian fell silent, laughter rang in the skies, and an indistinct figure appeared in the air above the Blood Hawk Troop. It was the leader of the Blood Hawk Palace, Lord Blood Hawk.
Wu Tian exhaled in relief as he saw Lord Blood Hawk.
"Oh? So what does the Blood Hawk Palace demand?"
Unexpectedly, when Lord Blood Hawk showed himself, a cold and sarcastic laugh resonated in the air. The blurred figure of Nine Nether had emerged as well.
It was obvious that both of them valued the moment greatly, since they only appeared once the Sleeping King graced them with his presence.
Seeing this, the city became noisy with discussions from the crowd. No one would have imagined that both Lord Nine Nether and Lord Blood Hawk would appear simultaneously. These two forces were as incompatible as fire and water.
Lord Blood Hawk's eyes shone for a moment, then he said, "You can retake the cities, but with the condition of defeating my Blood Hawk Troop. Since Master Meng has declared this region unfit for battle, why don't we do it on the battlefield? If you win, I will not only return the 50 cities we have conquered, but I will also give up another 50 of my cites and five Heavenly Pills."
The words of Lord Blood Hawk created a commotion among the crowd. They were in shock and awe upon hearing his drastic offer. Suddenly, the ownership of 100 cities was being bet upon. Not to mention, the five Heavenly Pills had an immeasurable value. It was rumored that any Sovereign Masters below Grade Four could raise a single grade by consuming one of those pills during training. Countless Sovereign Masters strove to get their hands on a single Heavenly Pill.
Lord Nine Nether was shocked for a moment, as she did not expect the charisma of Lord Blood Hawk to be this intense. It seemed like he had pulled out all the stops to deal with Nine Nether Palace.
"But… if Nine Nether Palace loses, I will want nothing in return, other than your submission to the Blood Hawk Palace. We will certainly not interfere with your internal affairs," Lord Blood Hawk spoke again with a cold smile.
"You!" Tang Bing's brows tightened, her face white with anger. The voracity of Lord Blood Hawk's ambition was evident. He would do anything to humiliate Nine Nether Palace. As soon as the Nine Nether Palace bowed to Blood Hawk Palace, even merely in formality, Nine Nether Palace would completely lose its morale, destined to never rise again.
Standing beside her, Mu Chen also squinted, his eyes shining with determination.
The Sleeping King scowled, but he did not utter a word. Daluo Territory was a competitive region, after all. It was thanks to competition that the vitality of the vast power was preserved.
"What shall it be, then? If you plan to chicken out, we will not laugh at you. But do not ever think about retaking these cities." Lord Blood Hawk sneered at Nine Nether.
Nine Nether's face turned cold. Of course she understood the cruel ideas in Lord Blood Hawk's mind. She turned her face toward a lone figure below. Lord Blood Hawk obviously lusted for a battle between the two troops, but now, the commander of Nine Nether Troop was Mu Chen.
Mu Chen had the final say on this challenge.
All eyes were focused upon Mu Chen. Wu Tian crossed his arms, looking at Mu Chen with a eerie smile. Lord Blood Hawk wanted to force Nine Nether Palace into a corner.
Under the gazes of countless onlookers, Mu Chen's lips twisted into a smile as sharp as a knife. He then looked up and nodded to Nine Nether.
Nine Nether was startled by his nod. Without delay, she clenched her silver teeth, and then her icy voice resonated throughout the heavens and the earth.
"Very well, my Nine Nether Palace accepts your challenge!
"Three days hence on the battlefield, be prepared to hand over everything, Blood Hawk Palace!"

FC Gold Pride defeats the Philadelphia Independence 4-1
What a way to end the regular season! FC Gold Pride defeated the Philadelphia Independence 4-1 at Pioneer Stadium in Hayward, California.
Left the Cal Football game at half time to make sure I could make it to the FC Gold Pride game on time for the trophy presentation. FC Gold Pride sealed up the regular season champions title two weeks ago, but had the trophy presentation this week.
WPS Commissioner Tonya Antonucci presented the regular season trophy to FC Gold Pride owners Brian and Nancy NeSmith along with team captain Rachel Buehler, head coach Albertin Montoya, and general manager Ilisa Kessler. I have never seen owners be as involved or personally care so much about a team as the NeSmith's. The players and the organization definitely deserve this title!
I decided I would photograph the Independence first half and then FC Gold Pride second half. After Gold Pride scored two goals across the field in the first, I thought I had made a bad decision. But they didn't let me down and scored another two goals in the second half. And after Marta's assist to Christine Sinclair to put it away, she pointed towards a celebrating Marta to give her credit, and I had the perfect angle to capture the moment =)
Also captured another (and I think my best yet) set of the Kiki Bosio flip throw. Hopefully David Keller and daughter will enjoy =)
My parents also came to the game and really enjoyed it. My dad was really impressed with their ball control. Pre-game they spun the wheel at the amyway booth. My dad won a Marta poster and my mom won a free Marta t-shirt (which I'm planning to steal) ... I wonder where I get my love of free t-shirts from? ;-)
After the game Ali Riley came on the microphone to encourage fans to check out Kelley and Ali's corner and thank the fans for their support this season and the entire team held up huge banners to thank the fans as well.
After this, the players celebrated... then it's back to work as they will be fighting for the WPS Championship Sunday September 26th. With home field advantage, hopefully it will be a great crowd and another win for FC Gold Pride who are on a 13-game unbeaten streak!

Q: Induction motor - d-q model I would like to simulate an induction motor in Matlab/Simulink using the d-q model.
I have found a paper that describes the whole procedure but I have this problem.
I am trying to create this block :

This block defines the following equation.

I can not figure out what the parameter *u in the matrix gain stands for and how this block defines the equation.
Edit: I do not have the Simulink model. The pictures are screenshots taken from the paper that I study.

A: u in Simulink indicates the input signal of the block, therefore the gain of that block is KS. I would expect KS to be the matrix you have in the equation, but we can't know for sure from the screenshot.
What you can guess is that, as an 3x1 array of van, vbn and vcn is given as an input to the block, and an 1x2 array with vqsS and vdsS is returned, the gain should be a 2x3 matrix.

A: As @clabacchio said, u stands for the input of the gain.
In addition, Simulink lets you select this option as you can see in the picture below:

A: Go to Simulink library in Matlab, get this matrix gain block and check the parameters.

Letter: Fair pay vote planned
Every working woman who is already sorry she voted for Lynn Jenkins for Congress, raise your right hand. The rest of you probably did not hear how Lynn Jenkins voted on The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
For 44 years, Lilly's employer violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act by secretly paying Lilly 20 percent less than her male co-workers. The law said the employer owed Lilly over $360,000 in back-wages. At first, the court ruled in her favor. But a new U.S. Supreme Court judge convinced a 5-4 majority to rule that because Lilly didn't file within the first six months after her first illegal paycheck — 44 years before — it was too late to file, even though the employer kept every employees' pay a top secret, Lilly didn't find out about the difference until just before she retired, at age 70.
Even worse, the court's ruling gave all employers a blank check for pay discrimination due to gender, race, religion or age. The only risk was the unlikely chance that new employees might right away find out about their lower pay, realize it was illegal and sue their new employer, all within the first six months of their new job. Even then, the employers were off the hook by paying the difference in the first 5 or 6 months' pay. But if, like Lilly, the employees did not find out and quickly file, the employers were home free! They then had a blank check to discriminate for years!
Last year, President Bush vetoed Congress' attempt to fix the law and protect the employees. Happily, our new Congress amended the law last month, plugged the hole and President Obama signed it. Every Democrat and even four female Republican U.S. senators voted "YES" for the change. But not Lynn Jenkins. Our new Republican member of Congress voted "NO."
We knew from her absence and malfeasance as state treasurer, that Lynn Jenkins was careless and callus. But who knew she was capable of such prejudice and partisan cruelty?
Where is Nancy Boyda when we need her?

The Concept of Anxiety
A Simple Psychologically Oriented Deliberation in View of the Dogmatic Problem of Hereditary Sin
By: Soren Kierkegaard, Alastair Hannay (translator)
Narrated by: David Rapkin
This first new translation of Kierkegaard's masterwork in a generation brings an essential work of modern philosophy to vivid life. While the majority of Kierkegaard's work leading up to The Concept of Anxiety dealt with the intersection of faith and knowledge, here the renowned Danish philosopher turns to the perennial question of sin and guilt. First published in 1844, this concise treatise identified - long before Freud - anxiety as a deep-seated human state, one that embodies the endless struggle with our own spiritual identities.

Who Really Killed Kennedy?
50 Years Later: Stunning New Revelations about the JFK Assassination
By: Jerome R. Corsi
From day one, the truth behind JFK's assassination has been mired in controversy and dispute. The Warren Commission, established just seven days after Kennedy's death, delved into the who, what, when, and where of the tragedy, and over the course of the following year compiled an 889-page report that arrived at the now widely contested conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. In Who Really Killed Kennedy?, Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., provides listeners with the ultimate JFK assassination theory book.
Excellent recap of the Kennedy assassination.

The Man Who Killed Kennedy
The Case Against LBJ
By: Roger Stone
Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of great ambition and enormous greed, both of which, in 1963, would threaten to destroy him. In the end, President Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas and from the underworld and from the government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power. President Johnson, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In The Man Who Killed Kennedy, you will find out how and why he did it. Political consultant, strategist, and Libertarian Roger Stone has gathered documents and used his firsthand knowledge to construct the ultimate tome to prove that LBJ was not only involved in JFK's assassination, but was in fact the mastermind. With 2013 being the fiftieth anniversary of JFK's assassination, this is the perfect time for The Man Who Killed Kennedy to be available to readers. The research and information in this book is unprecedented, and as Roger Stone lived through it, he's the perfect person to bring it to everyone's attention.

Target Tokyo
The Story of the Sorge Spy Ring
By: Gordon Prange, Donald M. Goldstein, Katherine V. Dillon
Richard Sorge was dispatched to Tokyo in 1933 to serve the spymasters of Moscow. For eight years, he masqueraded as a Nazi journalist and burrowed deep into the German embassy, digging for the secrets of Hitler's invasion of Russia and the Japanese plans for the East. In a nation obsessed with rooting out moles, he kept a high profile - boozing, womanizing, and operating entirely under his own name.

Scientific Analysis of the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination
By: Donald Byron Thomas
Groundbreaking scientific analysis that breaks the JFK assassination wide open! Did a shot from the "grassy knoll" kill President Kennedy? If so, was Oswald part of a conspiracy or an innocent patsy? Why have scientific experts who examined the evidence failed to put such questions to rest? In 2001, scientist Dr. Donald Byron Thomas published a peer-reviewed article that revived the debate over the finding by the House Select Committee on Assassinations that there had indeed been a shot from the grassy knoll, caught on a police dictabelt recording.

The History of the Korean War, 1950-1953
By: Robert Leckie
In June 1950 Communist forces poured across the 38th Parallel (the arbitrary, militarily indefensible line of latitude separating the Communist North from the independent Republic of Korea) to unite the country by force. Three bloody, bitter years of fighting ensued during which the seesawing fortunes of this frustrating war thwarted North Korea's ambitions while treating the ill-equipped, overconfident UN peacekeeping forces, mostly Americans, no less harshly.
The Adventures of Henry Thoreau
A Young Man's Unlikely Path to Walden Pond
By: Michael Sims
Henry David Thoreau has long been an intellectual icon and folk hero. In this strikingly original profile, Michael Sims reveals how the bookish, quirky young man evolved into the patron saint of environmentalism and nonviolent activism. Working from 19th-century letters and diaries, Sims charts Henry's course from his time at Harvard through the years he spent living in a cabin beside Walden Pond. Sims uncovers a previously hidden Thoreau - the rowdy boy reminiscent of Tom Sawyer, the sarcastic college iconoclast, the devoted son who kept imitating his beloved older brother's choices in life.
Broadsides: The Age of Fighting Sail, 1775-1815
By: Nathan Miller
In the late 18th century, it was widely thought that to be a sailor was little better than to be a slave. "No man will be a sailor," wrote Samuel Johnson, "who has contrivance enough to get himself into jail. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company." If that were true, historian Nathan Miller suggests, then the record of sailing in the age of tall ships would likely be distinguished by few heroes and fewer grand narratives.

Great Catastrophe
Armenians and Turks in the Shadow of Genocide
By: Thomas de Waal
The destruction of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16 was the greatest atrocity of World War I. Around one million Armenians were killed, and the survivors were scattered across the world. Although it is now a century old, the issue of what most of the world calls the Armenian Genocide of 1915 is still a live and divisive issue that mobilizes Armenians across the world, shapes the identity and politics of modern Turkey, and has consumed the attention of U.S. politicians for years.
The Conflict Between Washington and Jefferson That Defined a Nation
By: Thomas Fleming
History tends to cast the early years of America in a glow of camaraderie, when there were, in fact, many conflicts between the Founding Fathers--none more important than the one between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Their disagreement centered on the highest, most original public office created by the Constitutional Convention: the presidency. It also involved the nation's foreign policy, the role of merchants and farmers in a republic, and the durability of the union.
The Doomsday Machine
The High Price of Nuclear Energy, the World's Most Dangerous Fuel
By: Martin Cohen
Today, there are over 100 nuclear reactors operating in our backyards, from Indian Point in New York to Diablo Canyon in California. Proponents claim that nuclear power is the only viable alternative to fossil fuels, and due to rising energy consumption and the looming threat of global warming, they are pushing for an even greater investment.
Why Philanthropy Matters
How the Wealthy Give, and What It Means for Our Economic Well-Being
By: Zoltan J. Acs
Philanthropy has long been a distinctive feature of American culture, but its crucial role in the economic well-being of the nation - and the world - has remained largely unexplored. Why Philanthropy Matters takes an in-depth look at philanthropy as an underappreciated force in capitalism, measures its critical influence on the free-market system, and demonstrates how American philanthropy could serve as a model for the productive reinvestment of wealth in other countries.

Since forming in a Greenwich Village hotel in early 1965, Boone and his bandmates had released an astounding nine Top 20 singles, the first seven of which hit the Billboard Top 10, including the iconic Boone cowrites "Summer in the City" and "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice".
Deepkill
By: Michael Kilian
The plan is simple. The moment the Homeland Security adviser reaches the middle of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, a team of suicide bombers will rush his car, killing him and destroying the bridge. But as the plot's mastermind watches from afar, he sees only two small explosions. The bridge has survived; the plan has failed. He will have to find another way to bring terror to the United States - and he's about to get a fearsome opportunity.
Madison's Music
By: Burt Neuborne
Legal luminary Burt Neuborne argues that the structure of the First Amendment as well as of the entire Bill of Rights was more intentional than most people realize, beginning with the internal freedom of conscience and working outward to freedom of expression and finally freedom of public association. This design, Neuborne argues, was not to protect discrete individual rights - such as the rights of corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.
State Out of the Union
Arizona and the Final Showdown Over the American Dream

Biggers shows how Arizona's long history of labor and civil rights battles, its contentious entry into the union, as well as cyclical upheavals over immigration rights, place the state front and center in a greater American story playing out across the United States.

Far-Flung Tales of Love and Adventure
By: Edward Hoagland
From the Arctic Ocean to the Kenai Peninsula, the backstreet bars of Anchorage to the Yukon River, Hoagland traveled the "real" Alaska from top to bottom. Here he documents not only the flora and fauna of America's last frontier, but also the extraordinary people living on the fringe. On his journey he chronicles the lives of an astonishing and unforgettable array of prospectors, trappers, millionaire freebooters, Indians, and a remarkably kind and capable frontier nurse named Linda.
The Rescue of Alfa Foxtrot 586
By: Andrew C. A. Jampoler
In the tradition of great tales of men against the sea, this story offers a compelling look at courage and commitment in the face of certain tragedy. It is a powerful blend of human drama and real-life naval operations, but unlike most books in the genre, its heroes are airmen not seamen, and most survived their ordeal. Published on the twentieth-fifth anniversary of Alfa Foxtrot 586's fatal mission as a tribute to those lost, the account was written by a naval aviator who has flown the same aircraft on the same mission from the same air base.

The Five Safest Used Cars For Families
For many of us, one necessity when it comes to buying a new car is that it must be safe. No one wants to transport their family in a car that won't protect them should the worst happen.
Written by James Foxall
Monday, 20 August 2018 17:28 GMT
Edited on Monday, 20 August 2018 17:28 GMT
Realising that most of us aren't in the market for a brand-new motor, Co-op Insurance plus safety experts at Thatcham Research perform an annual assessment of used cars. And they've also started releasing a list of five super-safe second-hand motors for parents.
Its research found 60 per cent of parents changed their car before a baby was born. Buying a new motor with improved safety features was one of the factors driving them to change cars.
Nick Ansley, head of motor insurance at Co-op said: "The safety of a vehicle is clearly important to new parents who, despite the amount of information given to them on a plethora of things related to babies, are often left wondering when it comes to what car to buy and drive. Parents clearly want to be better informed when it comes to the safety of the vehicles they are buying and driving, especially when they have precious cargo in tow."
How they named the safest cars for families
Thatcham Research is one of the partners in the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) which has been rating cars for safety over the past two decades. For a car to feature in top five safest used family cars it had to have been awarded the maximum five-star rating by Euro NCAP.
It also had to be available with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). This is the tech where the car brings itself to a halt if it thinks it's going to have a crash. Assessors also focused on how well each vehicle scored for child occupant protection. This included front and side protection and how easy and safe it is to fit child restraints in the rear seats.
Top five safest used cars for families
What is it? This is the second generation of the popular compact crossover or SUV. This version is a step up in every respect from the model it replaces.
How much? The downside is this car was only available from 2017. As used examples are still quite new, you'll struggle to find one for less than £22,000.
What is it? This seven-seat compact MPV or people carrier was first launched in 2003. That original VW Touran was on sale largely unchanged until 2015. The new model has more cabin space, is more economical and comes with an array of driver aids.
How much? You can pick up 15-reg 2015-onwards second-generation Tourans from around £16,000, although higher mileage examples might be slightly cheaper.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer
What is it? This five-seat compact MPV or people carrier was launched in 2014 and is the first BMW of its kind. It's also the first to have its front rather than rear wheels driven. A wide range of petrol and diesel engines are available and there's a seven-seat version too.
How much? You may find a higher mileage model for around £10,000. However, it's more realistic to expect to pay £12,000 to £12,500 for 64-reg or 15-reg models.
What is it? This compact crossover or SUV was a gamechanger for Nissan, making this class of car mainstream. This second-generation Nissan Qashqai is a good-looking five-seater that drives nicely and has a decent range of economical engines.
How much? A 2014 14-reg model will be yours for £10,000. You shouldn't be short of choice.
What is it? Another compact five-seat SUV, this is the fourth-generation RAV4. The looks might be a bit take it or leave it but you know reliability will be bullet proof.
How much? As with the Qashqai, around £10,000 should buy a 14-reg model. But engine choice is likely to be limited to the diesel variant.

Cowboys get their victory before the bye week, beat Vikings 24-14
By Dave Halprin@dave_halprin Oct 21, 2007, 6:42pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Cowboys get their victory before the bye week, beat Vikings 24-14
It wasn't a rousing victory, it wasn't stylish or artful, and it wasn't a dominating statement. But the Dallas Cowboys got exactly what they needed Sunday at Texas Stadium, just a plain old victory over the Minnesota Vikings, 24-14. Going into the bye week the Cowboys are now 6-1 and still lead the NFC East. In the first half the Cowboys dominated every statistical category except for turnovers and the score. Tony Romo's fumble prevented a sure FG opportunity and a Patrick Crayton fumble was returned for a TD on another promising drive. To top off the frustrating first half, Nick Folk actually missed a kick. Thanks to the returned fumble for a TD and a powerful first drive where the Vikings were able to run on the Cowboys, Minnesota went into halftime with a 14-7 lead. The Cowboys were only able to muster one TD on a pass to Terrell Owens.
In the second half, thanks to a stiff defense that almost got a safety, the Dallas offense was able to get good field position on a punt and a penalty. Marion Barber provided some tough running around the goal line after a great catch by T.O. and cashed it in for a TD. The Cowboys then turned a Minnesota FG attempt into a TD after Chris Canty crashed the middle and blocked the kick and Pat Watkins recovered the ball and ran it in for a TD. Once Minnesota got behind, they couldn't mount a credible passing attack and the Cowboys defense did a good job of holding the Vikings' run game in check.
It may not have been the dominating blowout we all were hoping for going into the bye week, but it was a solid victory of an NFC opponent. The Cowboys have plenty to feel good about in going 6-1 so far this season, and they also have just enough problems to not get complacent. With Anthony Henry making progress and the addition of Tank Johnson after the Philadelphia game, Dallas will get a boost on defense. They'll need it, as they take on their divisional foes for three consecutive weeks after the bye.
Boxscore here.


United boss Shane Keegan expects the students to be heavily involved in the promotion race and admits tomorrow's clash in the capital will be revealing. UCD came from behind to secure a fine 2-1 win over Shelbourne on the opening night of the season.
Keegan admits an interesting encounter is in prospect against Dublin.
"It will be [interesting] because I would be very surprised not to see UCD finish in the top three," he says. "I think it is the first in a good few years they haven't lost all of their key players. They still have Maxim Kouogun at the back, Gary O'Neill, Greg Sloggett in the middle of the park, and Georgie Kelly at centre forward.
Conor Melody has returned to light training, but remains the only absentee for United with Keegan confirming that Alex Byrne and Eoin McCormack should be available for selection.
Danny Furlong's splendid hat-trick inspired United to a 4-1 success over Athlone Town, but Keegan was impressed with the impact made by substitutes Carlton Ubaezuonu and Conor Barry.
"I thought Carlton and Conor Barry were excellent when they came in. You can throw Mel in on top of that when he is back, it shows we do have an awful lot of attacking options in that final third.
"That is what you want. You want four attacking players on the field who can all do a job for you and one or two game changers on the bench.

What scares you? Me? Heights; can't abide by them. They send me over the edge with a cold sweat running down my back and the feeling that complete insanity may take over at any moment. Now imagine if a psychopath could force you to live your greatest fear over and over again. The very thought is terrifying enough to send me screaming into the night. But instead of screaming I was turning the pages faster then I could read them to find out who was turning the town of Jasper Mississippi into a place where what scares them the most may be the very death of them.

I found myself with a weekend of no engagements, no 'have to attend' gatherings or commitments. A free weekend. Quite a commodity in my life. So I did what any normal woman would do finding herself sans commitments, I planned every waking moment and by Friday night it was all mapped out. I would start with an oil treatment to tame the split ends dancing around my face, a simple, yet elegant, do it yourself mani/pedi, and an oatmeal facial scrub to wash away the grime accumulated during this beastly hot NYC summer. But blast it all if Teresa Medeiros didn't come waltzing into my life with nary a care and her latest release under her arm. Well, Teresa didn't literally walk into my home, but her book sure did, …
Seduction Wears Sapphires by Renee Bernard
Renee Bernard is a 'new to me author' and I had no idea what to expect when I picked up her latest release Seduction Wears Sapphires. What I found was a delightful historical with well drawn characters and a unique and interesting story line. It had me asking the question: "What happens when the shoe is on the other foot?" With many historical romances we have the young heroine being carefully watched by an overbearing relative, a concerned mother or perhaps a pompous brother. Much to my delight in Seduction Wears Sapphires we have the complete opposite.(MORE)…

The difference between the language in historical romance and contemporary romance is vast. Conveying your feelings in 19th century England or Scotland is not the same as conveying your feelings in 21st century Las Vegas or Washington D.C. It's the difference between saying "I'm quite out of charity with you" and saying "I'm so mad at you, I could hurl your body out of a ten story window." And this month, while I was reading several contemporary and historical romance books I couldn't help but think about the power of words. The way words are put together to form sentences and convey ideas can instantly tell you so much about a character. (MORE)…

Well the intention was well meant at the time — but obviously with the new GK Codex in instore preview prior to release on 2 April 2011 then this article is here for archive purposes only. So read on if you like, or skip as you please.
We recently made the Witch Hunters and Daemonhunters codexes available to download as PDFs. Since then, we've received a spate of emails asking questions about the difference between the PDFs and the original, printed copies. Rather than reply to you all individually, I thought I'd try to answer your questions here. Firstly, the rules for allied Space Marines and Inducted Imperial Guard were originally written to reference books that have since gone out of print, so we streamlined the rules required to allow players to collect an army of Daemonhunters or Witch Hunters. The Daemonhunters army list uses the Standard Force Organisation chart, which you'll find on page 87 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. The other point that seems to be causing the most confusion is whether or not the PDF versions supersede the printed versions. They don't: you should feel free to continue to use whatever resources you have available to play your games with; the PDF does not overrule or invalidate the printed Codex book. Yes, this may mean that you and your opponent are using what are essentially different army lists for the same army but not every Inquisition force will comprise of the same elements (highly specialised and secretive forces that they are). And if you'd rather use the same one as your opponent, why not simply decide which version you collectively want to use and share the rules between one another? As for tournaments and gaming events, it's entirely up to the organisers to decide which version to use; it is after all their event.
GW have recently made both the Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters Codexes available to download for free from their site (although you must sign in or register if not already registered). As I have a vested interest in the Daemonhunters with my allied Grey Knights, here is a brief overview of what has been produced.
1. Why a pdf version anyway?
There have been rumours of a joint Inquisition Codex being written by GW although any official announcement has yet to be made. One can only assume that they���ve taken the decision not to reprint either the Daemonhunters or Witch Hunters Codexes with the possibility of a new one looming. That���s what I���d like to think anyway. So we must assume that this version is a stop-gap?
Let���s have a quick look through what we have. First it consists of only 25 pages. All the interesting hobby bits (painting / modelling etc) has gone to leave a very pared down slimline version. Much of the fluff has gone, including the great story of Inquisitor Consadine, the details of what the Grey Knights are and how they are organised, and the section on Inquisitors, all of which set out the Daemonhunters' stall. And with the loss of the fluff, many illustrations have gone too.
Most DH rules or wargear items haven't changed. Aegis, Shrouding, Rites of Exorcism and Daemonic Infestation items listed on page 8 of the original Codex remain intact in this one.
But there is a change to True Grit section with some rewording. It basically allows Grey Knights to count their storm bolters as a second pistol to gain an extra attack in close combat if they are already armed with another pistol or close combat weapon. They get no charge bonus but this hasn't changed from current.
No items of wargear have been changed either in cost or function that I can see. This in my view is not a good result as for instance the Teleport homer still references a ���template��� for use in teleporting that is actually no longer used in 5th Edition. And the issue of DH Force weapons' 'killing outright' equalling instant death (or not) hasn't been touched here either.
A bit of effort and careful editing here would have been welcome and easy to accomplish pulling into line niggly issues and incompatibility problems with 5th Edition.
All these remain unchanged as per the book Codex.
This is the biggest change to the paper Codex. Yes unbelievably it���s no longer possible to field an Inquisitor Lord, Inquisitor, Assassin or Grey Knights within any other army apart from a Deamonhunters one. What were Games Workshop thinking of? There is no established fluff anywhere that I know of that imposes a similar such ban — indeed traditionally most Inquisitors do operate with non-Daemonhunter armies. There is no discernable fluff nor gaming reason that I can see for this rules omission so a real puzzler.
As someone who regularly used Grey Knight Terminators with my Deathwing this is an absolute disaster!! I shall greatly miss the cc capability of my GKGM, not to mention his useful psychic powers and Ld10 psychic hood.
Feel too for Grey Knight gamers who now can���t use the useful inducted Guard units options within their armies: no more Sentinals or Rough Riders, infantry platoons, Armoured Fist squadrons or Russ tanks. No inducted Space Marine units either (although this was rare). The day of competitive DH armies is now gone and I doubt that it will be many years before we see them at tournaments in this guise.
Is a ���Daemon��� a Daemon?
Yes! Gone in this pdf version is the list of what units constituted a ���Daemon��� for the purposes of most DH rules (found on page 20 of the book Codex). Making it far easier to define a them by their unit names. It would seem that by stripping out that page altoghether GW have, probably inadvertantly, actually helped. Interestingly Daemonic Infestation is still restricted to certain unit types, most of which no longer exist. Another item that could have been fixed this time around.
The DH are still crippled with their own version of this weapon, as well as still having a unique storm shield. Specifc weapons have not changed from the book Codex. I can see no reason why they couldn���t have been referenced to the Codex: Space Marines. One must conclude that the fact they don���t was a purposeful act and not an omission on the writers��� part, but one just can���t tell. Why change (or omit) some rules and not take the time to fix others?
3. Which Codex to use?
Just use the old one can���t we? Well no as the usual pattern of updating means that the newer version of any rule set must be used in preference to the set it replaces. This gives the theoretical problem of the current Daemonhunter FAQ not working with this pdf version as it refers to the older Codex. Hmmm… Maybe they���ll be an updated DH FAQ to suit… I���d think not knowing GW.
In fairness to GW they have said that this pdf Codex is there for those who can't get access to the proper book version and isn't there to replace or override the book version. But I'm afraid that doesn't wash. I mean if you were new to the game and just had the pdf version then how would you know what was missing from the book version?
or, update it thoroughly with due care to what you are doing and state that it overrides the book version.
But what you don't do is tinker with half-heartedly.
Lazy, slapdash and poorly thought through. Stripping out great chunks to make it more downloadable (if indeed that was the reason) is not the way to create a good working coherent ruleset that presents an army in an interesting manner. Furthermore there is little here that alleviates any of the rules compatibility issues between the DH and current 5th edition gaming environment.
The fact that the Allies and Inducted units rules have gone cuts down the fun and competitiveness of DH armies in my view, leading to less gamers picking them up in the first place, or like me dabbling with them, which is a great shame as the militant arms of the Inquisition should be a force to be reckoned with.
Note that oddly as I understand it some foreign language versions of the DH Codex still contain the Allies rule (or Inducted units rule?) however I haven't yet been able to verify this one way or the other.
One would have thought in these cash-strapped times GW would be falling over themselves to become more customer-friendly and not actively annoying their loyal and already long-suffering Daemonhunter customers. Being free is not and excuse, it should have been at least fit for purpose too.
We can really only live in hope that the rumoured joint Inquisitorial Codex will be so good and appear so soon that we will forgive them this one. Or, they fix this one.

John Finch (c. 1692–12 February 1763) of Bushey, Hertfordshire,  was a British lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons for 23 years from 1724 to 1747.

Early life

Finch was the third son of Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham and 7th Earl of Winchilsea and his second wife Anne Hatton, daughter of Christopher Hatton, 1st Viscount Hatton. He was educated at Eton College from 1706 to 1707 and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 26 January 1708, aged 15. In 1711, he was admitted at Inner Temple, and was called to the bar in 1719.

He became known as 'him who was stabbed by Sally Salisbury' after an incident on the night of 18 December 1722, when a prostitute, Sally Pridden (known as Salisbury), stabbed  him at the Three Tuns tavern in Chandos Street, apparently in a fit of passion during an argument over theatre tickets. She was found guilty of assault and wounding, without intent to kill, and was fined and sent to Newgate prison where she died in 1724.

He later married an actress, Elizabeth Younger after she had an illegitimate daughter by him.

Career
Finch stood unsuccessfully at a by-election on  1 June 1723 at Maidstone on the interest of his cousin, Heneage Finch, 2nd Earl of Aylesford whose brother, another John Finch was a sitting member. He was elected as Member of Parliament for Higham Ferrers on the interest of his brother-in-law, Thomas Watson Wentworth at a by-election on 20 January 1724. He was solicitor general to the Prince of Wales from 1726 to 1727 and became King's Counsel (KC) in 1727 when the Prince became King George II. At the 1727 general election, he was returned unopposed for Higham Ferrers. In Parliament he followed his brother Lord Finch. He seconding the Address in 1729 and joined his brother in opposition in 1730. He was again returned unopposed at the 1734. He was Treasure of his Inn in 1739. At the  1741 general election he made way for his brother Henry at Higham Ferrers, and transferred to Rutland  where he was returned unopposed as MP with the support of his elder brother, now Lord Winchilsea. After Walpole's fall in 1742, he and his brothers supported the Government and in 1746 he was classed as one of Granville's followers. Lord Winchilsea intended to put him up for Rutland again at the 1747 general election but realised he had little chance of success. Finch never stood for Parliament again.

Death and legacy
Finch died on 12 February 1763, leaving a daughter born before marriage, whose presentation at court in 1747 created controversy in the family. As well as Lord Finch and Henry, his brothers Edward and William Finch were also Members of Parliament.

Food insecurity is widespread in the developing world, despite the fact that the world produces enough food to feed everyone if food was shared equally and used efficiently. Millions of people go hungry, mainly because they can't grow or buy enough food.
Moreover, a range of factors beyond farmers' control – including weather, pests, war and bushfire – can affect harvests and cause serious local and regional food shortages.
Growing food in developing countries is already challenging, and climate change makes it even harder. The increased frequency and intensity of drought and flooding, combined with rapid population growth, result in an extremely difficult food production environment.
Young children, especially those under two years of age, tend to suffer most from the effects of food shortages. This is because they are highly vulnerable to low food intake and poor nutrition. Studies have also shown that the effects of malnutrition last a lifetime, reducing resistance to disease and physical and mental capacity.
Food shortages typically occur in the 'hungry season', when families have eaten all their food reserves from the previous year and are still waiting for the current year's crops to mature. Without improved crop yields, better storage and family education in nutrition, the cycle of hunger will continue.
stability of access: sufficient food in the face of natural and economic shocks and stresses.
To improve food security in the world's poorest nations, we help farmers to increase the production of nutritious crops in a sustainable manner using low cost methods. This means they have more and better food to eat and sell, improving both health and livelihoods.
Crop yields remain extremely low in the developing world, as it has not yet fully participated in the Green Revolution. It is still relatively easy to double or even triple yields by using effective methods. We support farmers in implementing these methods, which include planting early, planting in rows, early weeding, controlling plant populations, improving soil fertility by adding composts or manure and improving water retention of soils through conservation agriculture. Using these methods enables farmers to get more out of the same piece of land, while protecting its productivity.
We work to increase the value of existing crops, helping farmers to use techniques that produce crop yields out of season when they can fetch higher prices. In Mozambique, for example, there is surplus pineapple during the peak season. At this time prices crash, then there is almost no pineapple during the rest of the year when prices are high. We teach farmers a simple technique to force pineapple to flower outside of the normal season, allowing them to sell pineapple for more than double the in-season price. Taking into account the small cost of implementing the technique, the increase in income represents a fortune to the farmers, making them some of the most food secure farmers in Africa.
Introducing new and more nutritious crops is another highly effective strategy for improving food security. Rainfall, temperature, latitude and soil type determine what farmers can grow. Peanuts, sesame, pigeon pea, and soybean are high value and healthful crops with high amounts of protein and oil. Rural farm families producing these crops can sell them to feed people in growing cities, improving both income and nutrition. We focus on vegetables as our primary food security intervention, because when compared to other crops such as rice or cassava, vegetables produce the most profitable ratio between cash returns and the number of days of labour required.
We help farmers to improve labour productivity and produce more food through the use animal traction and other labour-saving devices. For example, ploughing with oxen can reduce the time taken to prepare a hectare of land from over 30 days to five days. Unlike tractors, oxen require no fossil fuels. In addition, oxen can pull environmentally-friendly ploughing implements.
We create farmer demand for valuable or nutritious crops such as hybrid maize, sweet potato high in vitamin A, pigeon peas, vegetables and new varieties of banana. To encourage farmers to plant these crops, we stage farming demonstrations, theatre groups or other creative community awareness campaigns. For maximum effectiveness, we implement these through local peoples' most preferred communication channels and in a culturally appropriate and often entertaining manner.
Entrenched cultural practices can act as a barrier to nutrition. For instance, communities may hold detrimental beliefs about the types of food they should eat. We promote behaviour change activities to help families overcome these barriers and improve their nutrition.
Scaling up interventions is a key part of our strategy. In order to ensure that new innovations reach as many people in need as possible, we help communities to organise volunteers – often community leaders – to pass on their knowledge to others.For example, young uneducated mothers often have limited knowledge and experience in nutrition and child care. When a volunteer encounters a mother in the village with a malnourished child, the volunteer works with that mother to improve the child's nutrition and invites the mother to join a group to continue learning about nutrition and agriculture.

DBT in a Nutshell
Dr. Marsha Linehan, Ph.D
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment for complex, difficult-to-treat mental disorders. Originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals, DBT has evolved into a treatment for multi-disordered individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT has since been adapted for other seemingly intractable behavioral disorders involving emotion dysregulation, including substance dependence in individuals with BPD and binge eating, to other clinical populations (e.g., depressed, suicidal adolescents), and to a variety of settings (e.g., inpatient, partial hospitalization, forensic).
DBT is based on a combined capability deficit and motivational model of BPD which states that (1) people with BPD lack important interpersonal, self-regulation (including emotional regulation) and distress tolerance skills, and (2) personal and environmental factors often both block and/or inhibit the use of behavioral skills that clients do have, and reinforce dysfunctional behaviors. DBT combines the basic strategies of behavior therapy with eastern mindfulness practices, residing within an overarching dialectical world view that emphasizes the synthesis of opposites.
The term dialectical is also meant to convey both the multiple tensions that co-occur in therapy with suicidal clients with BPD as well as the emphasis in DBT of enhancing dialectical thinking patterns to replace rigid, dichotomous thinking. The fundamental dialectic in DBT is between validation and acceptance of the client as they are within the context of simultaneously helping them change. Acceptance procedures in DBT include mindfulness (e.g., attention to the present moment, assuming a non-judgmental stance, focusing on effectiveness) and a variety of validation and acceptance-based stylistic strategies. Change strategies in DBT include behavioral analysis of maladaptive behaviors and problem-solving techniques, including skills training, contingency management (i.e., reinforcers, punishment), cognitive modification, and exposure-based strategies.
As a comprehensive treatment, DBT serves the following five functions: 1) enhances behavioral capabilities, 2) improves motivation to change (by modifying inhibitions and reinforcement contingencies), 3) assures that new capabilities generalize to the natural environment, 4) structures the treatment environment in the ways essential to support patient and therapist capabilities, and 5) enhances therapist capabilities and motivation to treat patients effectively. In standard DBT, these functions are divided among modes of service delivery, including individual psychotherapy, group skills training, phone consultation, and therapist consultation team.
Origins of DBT.
DBT grew out of a series of failed attempts to apply the standard cognitive and behavior therapy protocols of the late 1970s to chronically suicidal patients. These difficulties included:
1) focusing on change procedures was frequently experienced as invalidating by the client and often precipitated withdrawal from therapy, attacks on the therapist, or vacillations between these two poles;
2) teaching and strengthening new skills was extraordinarily difficult to do within the context of an individual therapy session while concurrently targeting and treating the client's motivation to die and suicidal behaviors that had occurred during the previous week;
3) individuals with BPD often unwittingly reinforced the therapist for iatrogenic treatment (e.g., a client stops attacking the therapist when the therapist changes the topic from one the client is afraid to discuss to a pleasant or neutral topic) and punished them for effective treatment strategies (e.g., a client attempts suicide when the therapist refuses to recommend hospitalization stays that reinforce suicide threats).
To overcome these difficulties, several modifications were made that formed the basis of DBT. First, strategies that reflect radical acceptance and validation of clients's current capabilities and behavioral functioning were added to the treatment. The synthesis of acceptance and change within the treatment as a whole and within each treatment interaction led to adding the term "dialectical" to the name of the treatment. This dialectical emphasis brings together in DBT the "technologies of change" based on both principles of learning and crises theory and the "technologies of acceptance" (so to speak) drawn from principles of eastern Zen and western contemplative practices. Second, the therapy as a whole was split into several different components, each focusing on a specific aspect of treatment. The components in standard outpatient DBT are highly structured individual or group skills training (to enhance capability), individual psychotherapy (addressing motivation and skills strengthening), and telephone contact with the individual therapist (addressing application of coping skills). Third, a consultation/team meeting focused specifically on keeping therapists motivated and providing effective treatment was also added.
Behavioral Targets and Stages of Treatment in DBT.
DBT is designed to treat individuals with BPD at all levels of severity and complexity of disorders and is conceptualized as occurring in stages. In Stage 1, the primary focus is on stabilizing the client and achieving behavioral control. Behavioral targets in this initial stage of treatment include: decreasing life-threatening, suicidal behaviors (e.g., parasuicide acts, including suicide attempts, high risk suicidal ideation, plans and threats); (e.g., parasuicide acts, including suicide attempts, high risk suicidal ideation, plans and threats), decreasing therapy-interfering behaviors (e.g., missing or coming late to session, phoning at unreasonable hours, not returning phone calls), decreasing quality-of-life interfering behaviors (e.g., reducing behavioral patterns serious enough to substantially interfere with any chance of a reasonable quality of life (e.g., depression, substance dependence, homelessness, chronically unemployed), and increasing behavioral skills (e.g., skills in emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and self-management). In the subsequent stages, the treatment goals are to replace "quiet desperation" with non-traumatic emotional experiencing [Stage 2], to achieve "ordinary" happiness and unhappiness and reduce ongoing disorders and problems in living [Stage 3], and to resolve a sense of incompleteness and achieve joy [Stage 4]. In sum, the orientation of the treatment is to first get action under control, then to help the patient to feel better, to resolve problems in living and residual disorders, and to find joy and, for some, a sense of transcendence. All research to date has focused on the severely and multi-disordered patient who enters treatment at Stage 1.
Movement, Speed, and Flow.
DBT requires that the therapist balance use of acceptance and change strategies within each treatment interaction, from the rapid juxtaposition of change and acceptance techniques to the therapist's use of both irreverent and warmly responsive communication styles. This dance between change and acceptance are required to maintain forward movement in the face of a client who at various moments oscillates between suicidal crises, withdrawal and dissociative responses, rigid refusal to collaborate, attack, rapid emotional escalation and a full collaborative effort. In order to movement, speed, and flow, the DBT therapist must be able to inhibit judgmental attitudes and practice radical acceptance of the client in each moment while keeping an eye on the ultimate goal of the treatment: to move the client from a life in hell to a life worth living as quickly and efficiently as possible. The therapist must also strike a balance between unwavering centeredness (i.e., believing in oneself, the client, and the treatment) and with compassionate flexibility (i.e., the ability to take in relevant information about the client and modify one's position accordingly, including the ability to admit to and repair one'™s inevitable mistakes), and a nurturing style (i.e., teaching, coaching, and assisting the client) with a benevolently demanding approach (i.e., dragging out new behaviors from the client, recognizing the client's existing capabilities and capacity to change, having clients "do for themselves" rather than "doing for them."
Randomized Clinical Trials of DBT.
The first DBT randomized clinical trial compared DBT to a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control condition. DBT subjects were significantly less likely to parasuicide during the treatment year, reported fewer parasuicide episodes at each assessment point, and had less medically severe parasuicides over the year. DBT was more effective than TAU at limiting treatment drop-out, the most serious therapy-interfering behavior. DBT subjects tended to enter psychiatric units less often, had fewer inpatient psychiatric days per patient, and improved more on scores of global as well as social adjustment. DBT subjects showed significantly more improvement in reducing anger than did TAU subjects. DBT superiority was largely maintained during the one-year post-treatment follow-up period. Since then, two RCTs have been conducted evaluating DBT as compared to TAU and one study has been conducted comparing DBT to an ongoing parallel treatment with matched controls. In general, results have largely replicated the initial RCT. Koons and her associates found that BPD women in the VA system assigned to DBT had greater reductions in parasuicide acts and in depression scores than those assigned to TAU and those assigned to DBT (but not to TAU) also had significant improvements in suicide ideation, hopelessness, anger, hostility, and dissociation. In our recent application of DBT to substance dependent individuals with BPD, DBT subjects had greater reductions in illicit substance use (measured by both structured interview and urinalyses) both during treatment and at follow-up and greater improvements in global functioning and social adjustment at follow-up.

Why Most glorious Hollywood Actress Julia Roberts Became a Hindu?
What do you think when you hear the name Julia Roberts? An Oscar winning actress? The charming face in films like Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich, Eat Pray Love, right? But what if I tell you that above all these achievements; she is also a devout believer of Hinduism, a religion or a cult [whichever way you wish to interpret] which is certainly sacrilegious for a liberal, especially a celebrity to even study, forget practicing the religion at all.
Yes, this story is at least 7 years old, but there's an equally intriguing story as to how Julia Roberts, who had a Catholic mother, and a Baptist father, turned to Hinduism.
What attracted her towards this deeply spiritual religion? What made her think that this religion can provide an answer to most of her questions, which in turn could give her inner peace, and above all, what made her boldly accept in front of the world, that she accepts and practices Hinduism, and she is not doing this for some cheap publicity? This journey that you, dear readers, will now take up, is bound to enthrall you all, and possibly attract you more towards the deeply spiritual and peaceful way of life that is Sanatan Dharma, or what the world knows it as, Hinduism.
Born on Saturday, 28th October 1967, to Betty Lou Bredemus and Walter Grady Roberts, Julia has a varied descent of UK, Germany and Sweden. She had a troubled childhood; her parents filed for divorce when she was only five. 5 years later, her father succumbed to cancer. When five, her mother married Michael Motes, who was often unemployed, and to the chagrin of Julia, abusive and despicable. Even after a while, Betty had to divorce him, citing the marriage between them as one of the 'biggest mistakes of her life'.
Despite such a tumultuous background, Julia Roberts made herself count, and succeeded against all odds. Initially having blink a miss moments with her films, her first major recognition was the 1989 movie Steel Magnolias, where she beautifully portrayed the role of a young bride with diabetes. She was even nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the same, until her breakthrough moment came with the 1990 classic, 'Pretty Woman', which established Julia as a household name in Hollywood.
Even then, it took a decade for Julia Roberts to finally clinch her maiden Oscar, in the movie Erin Brockovich, where she won the Best Actress award for her supreme portrayal of Erin, an unemployed mother of three, who single handedly takes on an MNC for posing a significant threat to the environment.
By 2010, Julia Roberts was a star of her own class. Her powerful roles mesmerized the critics and masses alike, and keeping up with her versatility, she visited India, as a part of her film, Eat, Pray & Love's shooting. This was the watershed moment, when Julia Roberts finally discovered her inclination towards the aura that is Hinduism.
Fun fact, post her conversion to Hinduism, Julia Roberts, with the blessings of Swami Dharm Dev of Ashram Hari Mandir in Pataudi, has christened her three children with Hindu names as well – Lakshmi for her daughter Hazel, Ganesh for Phineas and Krishna Balram for Henry.
Don't be surprised. This is just the beginning. Even Robert Downey Jr, who has mesmerized us with his performances as Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes etc., has a sequence in Spider Man: the Homecoming, where he religiously attends a proper Hindu wedding. Besides, he is known for his growing affinity towards Hinduism as well.
For those, who think that conversion to Hinduism involves loads of money and complex processes, most of them either are completely ignorant or are really naïve. Forget conversion, even re-conversion to Hinduism is one of the simplest processes in the whole religious world. You only need to believe in your karma and the presence of the Ishwar in every element of the nature, that's all.
When such icons know why Hinduism attracts them, we should not only be inspired by their affinity, but also carry forward the ideals of Sanatan Dharma, to make this world a better place, and certainly devoid of any malice like the one Islamic imperialism sponsors.

Drug Rehab and Treatment Centers Information Holly Springs, North Carolina
Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Holly Springs, North Carolina?
There are several alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities solutions to individuals living in the Holly Springs region. It is important to understand all the types of treatment options that exist in Holly Springs, AB., in order to pick the appropriate rehabilitation option for yourself or a family member. Choosing the right alcohol and drug treatment program in Holly Springs is the central element in the process of treating of substance abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. The following information will help ensure you fully grasp your numerous rehabilitation choices so that you have the greatest probability of an ideal final result.
Let's check out the many drug rehabilitation facilities in Holly Springs, North Carolina possibilities that coincide with the condition of the individual in search of rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Holly Springs, AB. can be a rehabilitation choice best in case you need medical treatment throughout rehab or clients with considerable substance abuse histories. Women and men will experience both mental and physical dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Holly Springs is considered the most effective rehabilitation possibility in the majority of situations. Due to dependence and addiction, people will most likely not be able to make a full recovery using the limited solutions made available from outpatient rehabilitation programs in Holly Springs, North Carolina where drugs and alcohol are still easily obtainable when they leave the outpatient facility. Likewise, people in rehabilitation who take part in outpatient rehab as an alternative to inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Holly Springs remain susceptible to negative influences and circumstances which can cut across their process of recovery. If someone lives with an abusive partner or maintains relationships which entail substance abuse, any treatment endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. This is the reason in-patient alcohol and drug treatment in Holly Springs, AB. will produce more tangible outcomes which will prove long lasting in contrast to an outpatient drug treatment center where advantages are often very limited and acute.
In Holly Springs there is both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation in Holly Springs, North Carolina is a lot more prolonged and treatment lasts 90-120 days generally speaking. This is an excellent setting for clients because it is a safe and secure drug free setting where they can recover both physically and mentally without interruptions. Ideally, men and women will continue inside a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab program in Holly Springs for the optimum time frame allowed, to enable them to deal with anything which may cut across their abstinence after they depart treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can take two to three weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Holly Springs will be time spent well and a lot more efficient than short-term centers.
The key aspect of all if you or a loved one is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction problem is to do something about it, call someone and seek the advice of trained addiction specialists and get an evaluation and treatment possibilities to guarantee the greatest chance for a recovery.

Children Living with Substance-Dependent or Substance-Abusing Parents: 2002 to 2007 Combined data from SAMHSA's 2002 to 2007 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health were used to provide average annualized estimates of the number of children under age 18 living with a substance abusing parent, that is, a parent who was dependent on or abused alcohol or an illicit drug. Over 8.3 million children (11.9%) lived with at least one parent who was dependent on or abused alcohol or an illicit drug during the past year. Of the children living with a substance abusing parent, almost 7.3 million (10.3%) lived with a parent who was dependent on or abused alcohol, and about 2.1 million (3.0%) lived with a parent who was dependent on or abused illicit drugs. About 5.4 million children under 18 years of age lived with a father who met the criteria for past year substance dependence or abuse and 3.4 million lived with a mother who met the criteria.
The pattern of higher rates of current alcohol use, binge alcohol use, and heavy alcohol use among full-time college students compared with rates for others aged 18 to 22 has remained consistent since 2002.
In 2009, among adults aged 18 or older, age at first use of marijuana was associated with dependence on or abuse of illicit drugs. Among those who first tried marijuana at age 14 or younger, 12.6 percent were classified with illicit drug dependence or abuse, higher than the 2.1 percent of adults who had first used marijuana at age 18 or older.
