Why is it that my body never fails to let me down, at those very seconds that I need it to just be normal. I have been trying so hard to convince Adam that I am more than able and perfectly safe to be on my own. Proving it over and over by navigating perfectly my way through the house, so perfect that I haven't even been touching anything other than the floor with my chair for 2 days. Then last night, just as I was getting organised to go to bed and with him standing just beside me, my right leg had a fit. All by itself, there is was jumping around like a lunatic, and he was stood there watching it, as I stutter and slur my way through a request for him to put my dressing gown in the bedroom. It was that half of thought of a request that triggered the whole thing.
This sort of thing happens all the time. If I am in the middle of doing something, then suddenly think of a change of plan, that hesitation in my thought, no matter how tiny, is then translated all over my body. I had been about to get into my wheelchair when I spotted the dressing gown lying on the other settee. My hesitation was on whether or not to pick it up myself, or ask Adam to do it for me. Bang, my body went nuts. First my right leg, the nerves making it literally jump up and down, with only my toes touching the ground. Then my voice, stuttering through a mix of words that don't sound come out quite right and once more just get abandoned. Then my right arm, which I raised to point at the gown, held steady in front of me, I thought until I looked at my hand. Finally, my left arm was groping around in the air trying and failing until I looked at it to find the head of the bronze dog, in the hope that it would steady me. Both Adam and I have witnessed outbreaks like this over and over. It is like my brain can't deal with the fact I had started to do one thing, then thought about doing something else instead, but decided to return to the original plan. All those thoughts are just too much for it, so it short circuits, then takes all the thoughts and actions, mixes them all together before just spewing out some nutty mess instead. Not only is it annoying, it has also frequently been embarrassing as well. Like so many parts of this illness, it's OK when you are alone, a little upsetting when with your family and totally devastating in public.
Bodies are upsetting and annoying things. I once thought that they were simple straightforward and just there, but illness has taught me that they are none of those things. If there is a way that they can let you down, embarrass you or just spoil a moment, they will. If you have something like PRMS or Fibro, you don't stand a chance. One second everything is calm and normal, the next you are a jibbering wreck and worse still, you are proving it to an audience. From falling flat on your face in the street; sitting in tears during a board meeting; standing shaking like a plate of jelly in the middle of a presentation or sudden cramps in you legs when making love, mine has done them all. It doesn't matter how well those around you are aware of your health or not, there are still times and places for everything. None of those times or places was correct. At least last night I was able to stay standing on my feet, but that was the only positive that I could find. Adam had picked up my dressing gown and headed out of the room, I was sat in silence in my wheelchair, with only one very familiar thought, why now? The longer you live with chronic illness, the more it becomes clear that it really is some sort of sick joke. Worse still, the joke is on you.
Tremors have been to date another one of those phasic things. In fact, I went through one period that lasted over a year. I couldn't keep my left hand still unless I thought about it. If I was just sat, talking or watching TV, you could be sure that my hand was sitting there quietly either shaking or jumping up and down. Thought would steady it, not stop, that only happened if I gave it a task to carry out. It lasted right up to the day that my hand died. I have often wondered if it was, in fact, part of the process. First minor nerve damage that caused the shakes, then total cut off, leaving one dead hand. As my hand returned, it wasn't totally steady and still isn't, but unless someone pointed it out to you, I doubt you would notice it at all. For me, normally, the worst tremors are still in my hands and I notice it most when I am typing. Ironically, until I started blogging and tweeting, I don't think that I have ever typed quite so much. Again though, it is that hesitation, that shows it up the worst. If I just sit here and type without thought, my fingers move perfectly normally. If I catch the wrong key and I have to think about its correction, then my hands are off. The only answer is to totally stop, rest and start again. Like much of my health just now, the tremors are now just another one of those things that I live with. I don't think there is a single symptom that is any longer phasic, they all seem to be here all the time. Unless, changing almost hourly counts as phasic.
I know that it is often a personal choice, as to the point at which we give up work, or even become housebound. But I can see how someone could quite easily be pushed into one or both thanks to just one symptom, not major events. For me, my dead hand forced me in, growing fatigue and exhaustion, held me here. But tremors could so easily be that one thing, that is just too embarrassing, to live in the outside world with. I know, even from just having one shaking hand and a problem with core stability that meant my spine twitched, that people stare. If I had been out somewhere with so much of my body in a muddle as it was last night, I would have been mortified. If it was happening all the time, it would drive many into wanting to hide. I somehow don't expect that the new tests for benefits would accept that severe tremor attacks were a reason not to work. Knowing what it is like when people stare or are clearly talking about you, isn't easy to live with and many people, not quite as adamant to continue as normal as I was, would struggle. I don't know how long I would have pushed on trying to work if my hand hadn't gone when it did. To be honest, I doubt I would have been working for another three years as I did. I was lucky, my job could be done from home and at home, I could pace myself to get everything done, resting when I needed to and working flat out when I had to. For most people, that just isn't possible.
The twitch in my spine is probably the most visible symptom I have ever had. It's hard to cover up when your upper body is jumping around, not dissimilar to a bobble head. These days it seems to be at it's worst when I am tired and I have learned tricks so it isn't seen. I can wedge myself into the corner of seats, which braces both sides of me. Lean forwards, propping my head on my hands, anything that just gives me that bit more support and stability. But people looked. The rude ones stared and chatted behind cupped hands, the slightly more discreet pretended to be looking elsewhere, then looked back as I moved my gaze off them. That is where that walking stick or wheelchair come in useful, not just for getting us around, but if you have either, the curiosity seems to wane. It's really odd, give us an aid and the public dismiss us as ill. Let us alone, and we are nutters, lunatics and any other derogatory name you might think of, an object of amusement. I recommend strongly that what every your illness if there is a visible component, carry a walking stick, needed or not. Not only do you get a seat on the bus, but suddenly we are given a polite space to move and time to do what we need without angering anyone. Even if you are fumbling for change at the supermarket, that walking stick stops those sighs and huffs, it really is magic. Unfortunately, there is always the odd person who is never going to have respect for another living being, all we can do is ignore them.
I know that we have no option other than to live with the body that we have. No matter how annoying, how often it lets us down or embarrasses us, it's ours and we have no other choice than to live with it and give it a little love every now and then, tremors or not.
Sometimes it feels as though I just don't have the energy to do what little there is in a day to do, I mean how hard is it to just go and take a shower and wash my hair? Impossible apparently. It doesn't seem to matter how….

I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU.I THOUGHT THE SPINAL TREMORS AND VIOLENT TWITCHING, WAS MINE TO BARE. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT TOO.THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS ME THRU AN EPISODE, IS STICKING MY HANDS BETWEEN MY LEGS AND USING YOUR RELAXING TRICKS. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO GIVE IN AND TAKE A PILL, TO CALM THE NERVES. YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO DEAL WITH, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT TOO.WHEN I DO HAVE AN EPISODE, I ACTUALLY GET SOME MUCH NEEDED ATTENTION.TELL ADAM IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT LOOKS. IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF MY DAUGHTER.I TELL HER THE SAME THING.
I have lived with it for years now, even when I was still working. I found that no matter what I said, no one ever wants to believe that it not that bad. Adam is used to it now and knows to just let me sit and twitch away, it passes.I don't find them painful, just annoying, especially when eating and you miss your mouth because it's moved.
Glad to hear your still using the relaxation, it really does work and the longer you do it, the quicker and deeper it seems to work. One to keep practising, even when not needed.
IT'S HARD, AND MIGHT GET WORSE.IT'S HARDER FOR OTHERS TO WATCH..BELIEVE IT OR NOT ,WE DO GET USED TO IT ; SORT OF.

Episode 138: Ed Jurdi - Band of Heathens
In 1972, Ray Charles released "A Message for the People", a record, that combined his soul and R&B style with some distinctly country nuance. The album, now out of print is filled with really important, socially conscious songs delivered in a way only Ray could. Almost 50 years later, the stories of these songs still resonate, so much so, that the Band of Heathens decided to cover the album in its entirety, of course putting their own more modern, classic rock and country spin on it. We recently sad down with Ed Jurdi, to talk about A Message for the People - Revisited and its relevance today. Both A Message for the People and A Message for the People Revisited are two incredible albums you should check out. The former, the original from Ray Charles may be harder to find, but the Revisited record is available on all your favorite streaming services and of course to purchase at bandofheathens.com. Band of Heathens continues to be one of my favorite bands out their on the road, and they are definitely worth checking out.

ImperfectFit
Cryotherapy is undoubtedly cool — but is standing in a freezing box as good as claimed?
Coach editor Sam Downing at Cryo, at toasty minus 124 degrees
Inside the human fridge that claims to ease your aches, burn your fat and even make you young again.
I'm standing almost naked in a box. Air chilled to less than minus-100 degrees Celsius swirls around me. It is f---ing freezing — but when I step out two minutes later, I feel fantastic.
I've just had a session at Cryo, a Sydney clinic that specialises in whole-body cryotherapy: exposure to super-cold temperatures, a treatment said to aid muscle recovery, encourage fat loss, and even combat ageing. No wonder it's a hit with the wellness set.
Visiting Cryo is a little like stepping into the future: all shiny white walls, soft blue-tinted lighting, and display panels embedded into the walls. From the front desk, an attendant ushers me into an egg-like chamber where I'm instructed to strip down to everything but socks and underwear.
When I'm ready, a door slides open (Star Trek-style!) and I'm brought to the Cryosauna. I'd envisaged it as a sort of claustrophobic coffin that would entomb by entire body, head and all, but in Cryo's machine my head stays poking out the top — like an upright version of the box a magician might put me in to saw me in half.
After I step into the box, having donned gloves and slippers, it fills with nitrogen mist and the temperature plummets within seconds to around minus 124 degrees.
Yes, that's bloody icy. I'm not usually too sensitive to the cold, comfortably wearing a T-shirt except for the depths of midwinter, so when I do feel chilly I'm a damn wuss about it: In summer, I've been known to definitely never dipped my toe in the ocean then run up the beach screaming.
The Cryosauna plunges to the sort of science-fiction cold most Australians don't experience day-to-day (at least not when they're just in their undies), and it bites hardest across the backs of my legs and my chest.
The technician chats the whole time to distract me from this voluntary torture session, encouraging me to the spin to keep the gas swirling around me. So it's hard to keep up the small talk because my teeth want to chatter.
But it's all over after a couple of minutes (precisely how many minutes is up to you — I start at two and gradually work up to three) and as soon as I step out of the sauna the pain is forgotten.
Returning to regular air feels like jumping back into bed after a winter midnight dash to the bathroom. Which is perhaps why I feel so damn good — like I've just smashed a particularly satisfying workout. I was alerted it's common to feel a rush of post-cryotherapy euphoria, and it is potent — I ride on it for the rest of the afternoon.
The idea behind cryotherapy is that exposure to extreme cold flushes your body with nutrient-rich blood. Research commissioned by CTN, the manufacturer of Cryo's saunas, suggests this effect can treat a range of ailments (including arthritis, tinnitus and osteoporosis), and has other benefits (including a metabolism boost, better sleep and improved mental health).
The specific benefit I'm investigating at Cryo is cryotherapy's claim to ease muscle soreness and speed up recovery. Because I train in some form almost every day, I'm in a constant state of slight discomfort — so anything that's going to help that is welcome.
But to be honest, I didn't notice much difference after my visit to Cryo, at least not from my once-a-week sessions three weeks in a row, all of which I did immediately after training.
While many elite athletes still rely on ice baths for their recovery (as well as "contrast baths", which alternate icy and hot water), not many have yet turned to cryotherapy — which is down to differences in the way the two methods work.
"With immersion [into water] you get direct hydrostatic pressure, but with the air [in cryotherapy] you just get the cold sensation," Dr Shona Halson, a recovery physiologist with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), tells Coach.
"When you look at transfer of heat, water is much more powerful than in the air — around 25 times more powerful — so with cryotherapy you don't get that hydrostatic pressure and the ability to conduct heat is greatly reduced."
It's because of that that the AIS is yet to install a cryotherapy machine, yet to be convinced it would have stronger benefits than ice baths. Nor is the US Food and Drug Administration convinced, declaring in 2016 that the potential benefits are yet to be confirmed.
However, Halson agrees post-cryotherapy euphoria is real, which is backed up both by CTN's research and my own personal experience. It really is an incredible hit — like the rush you get from a cold shower, times a hundred — though whether it's incredible enough to justify the $90 cost of a Cryo session is up to you.
One last thing. When I told friends I was trying out cryotherapy, there was one inevitable question… or at least an inevitable question from my male frends:
So was there a, uh, shrinkage situation?
I'm pleased to report there was no noticeable shrinkage situation. FYI.

THE FRENCH WERE forced to eat humble pie yesterday as Tokyo beat Paris as the city with the most Michelin stars.
From local sushi houses to formal Japanese banquets, the city's top food hotspots scooped a total of 191 stars, almost double Paris's 97, and triple New York's 54.
Every restaurant in the new Tokyo Michelin Guide – the first published outside of Europe and the United States – has at least one star.
'The more restaurants we visited, the more stars we needed to allocate,' said Jean-Luc Naret, the global director of Michelin guides.
With 160,000 restaurants across the city, Michelin's mission to uncover the best establishments involved five undercover inspectors – three European and two Japanese – visiting more than 1,500 eateries over 18 months.
Of the eight three-star restaurants, five serve Japanese cuisine and three French, while a further 27 received two stars and 117 one star in the guide, which is published in English and Japanese.
Japan has a well-known tradition for culinary excellence and recognition for this is welcome and overdue, according to Shuzo Kishida, the chef at three-star holder Quintessence.


This paper studies the role of financial frictions in explaining the heterogeneous effect of exchange rate uncertainty on international trade. Empirically, exports in industries in which firms have less tangible capital or rely more heavily on external finance decrease more in times of high uncertainty. However, the marginal effect of financial constraints depends on the relative size of exporters within a sector. A heterogeneous-firm model of financially-constrained exporters rationalizes the empirical findings even in the absence of risk aversion. In the model, exchange rate uncertainty affects firms by increasing the interest rates they need to pay. Lenders are concerned with the exchange rate because it affects the exporting firms' revenues and their ability to repay their loans. The calibrated model shows that providing additional collateral to financially-constrained firms lessens the reduction in exports due to uncertainty, but has limited effects.
The uncovered interest parity puzzle is the empirical finding that countries with higher risk-free interest rates tend to see their currencies appreciate in the short run. Typical two-country macroeconomic models instead predict that high interest-rate currencies depreciate, with arbitrage opportunities eliminating profitable carry trade strategies. The international finance literature responded to this puzzle by providing several alternative theoretical models able to explain the puzzle. This paper studies how the predictions of two of these alternative models - the habit model of Verdelhan (2010) and the distorted belief model of Gourinchas and Tornell (2004) - are affected when re-cast in a standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium framework.

France Brings Home French Wives of ISIS Jihadists From Syria
France on Tuesday repatriated 16 wives of jihadists from sprawling detention camps in northeastern Syria, in breach of a policy that for years has ruled out the repatriation and trial of adult women who left to join Islamic State.
The women accompanied 35 children – some traveling with their mothers, others orphans – in the largest group repatriated at once by France, as the government responded to mounting pressure to change its approach.
France has long resisted calls by rights groups and security experts to return the adult women, saying it considers them "combatants" who should be tried where they are accused of crimes, in Syria and Iraq.
Even when such domestic trials proved impossible, France stood by and refused to return not only adults but most children, returning only a few dozen over three years, with a piecemeal approach that contrasted with most of its cases. European neighbors.
French Ministry of Foreign Affairs He said in a statement On Tuesday, the children were taken care of by the welfare services and the mothers were handed over to judicial authorities. The authorities said the women – all of them are French, except for two who have French children It is expected that charges related to joining the Islamic State will be brought.
"It's a sweeping change of policy," said Mark Lopez, the stepfather of a woman still detained with her four children in one of the camps.
"I hope others will follow this summer, because there is no reason to allow a situation to run for years," he added, referring to the French nationals still in the camps.
International organizations, including the United Nations, along with lawyers and politicians, urged France to rethink its approach, noting the deteriorating living and security conditions in the camps.
On Tuesday, Julien Audol, MP and spokesperson for the National Rally, Marine Le Pen's far-right party, said, Posted on social media About repatriations. "Returning them to France is a crime against the security of our people," he wrote.
The lasting impact of the civil war in Syria
After a decade of fighting, many Syrians are wondering if their country can be reunited.
Some 165 children and 65 women of French nationality are still stuck in the fetid and disease-ridden concentration camps run by Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria, where they live in a state of legal stalemate.
More than 1,000 European nationals have been repatriated since 2019, when the Islamic State group lost its last foothold in Syria, said Letta Tyler, senior counterterrorism researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Repatriations in other European countries have accelerated since the start of the year, acknowledging the dire security and living situation in the camps, with countries such as Belgium and Germany repatriating more than 90 children and their mothers.
By contrast, France has not taken back any of its citizens since January 2021, after taking a case-by-case approach to limit the return of orphans and children whose mothers had agreed to let them go.
French authorities have long said that adult women should be tried in Syria or Iraq. But their experience locally has proven impossible – the Iraqi government has ruled out doing so, and the Kurdish administration holding them in Syria is not internationally recognized.
The return of 16 women, aged 22 to 39, on Tuesday indicated that France is now ready to take a different approach.
Ms Tyler, of Human Rights Watch, urged the country to return all its citizens and prosecute them as appropriate. "It certainly can provide due process for women who have already said they are willing to serve a prison sentence if they are sent home," she said.
"The French position has become absurd, dangerous and untenable," said Ludovic Rivier, a lawyer for a woman who was sent home on Tuesday.
Living conditions in the Kurdish-run camps have deteriorated sharply over the months, adding to the urgency of repatriations and prompting the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to criticize France.
The committee said that "France has violated the rights of French children detained for years." He said in a statement "Children are living in inhumane sanitary conditions, lacking basic necessities including water, food and health care, and are at imminent risk of death," he added in February.
Understanding the Syrian Civil War
perpetual struggle. The Syrian war began 11 years ago with a peaceful uprising against the government and turned into a multi-sided conflict involving armed rebels, jihadists and others. Here's what you need to know:
assets. The conflict began in 2011 when Syrians rose up peacefully against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The protests were met with violent repression, while communities took up arms to defend themselves. A civil war broke out.
Last year, about 10 French women went on a hunger strike in Roj camp in northeastern Syria, where most European families have been held, to protest poor living conditions and France's refusal to repatriate them for trial.
A few months later, another French woman, also being held in Rouge, died of health complications, despite her lawyer's repeated pleas to the French authorities to bring her back for treatment for severe diabetes.
She left behind a 6-year-old daughter who was among those sent back to France on Tuesday, according to United Families, a group of families fighting for repatriation.
Most security experts and rights groups have argued that leaving European citizens in the camps carries a greater risk than repatriating them, as they may join the Islamic State in the region.
In January, ISIS fighters attacked a prison in northeastern Syria in an operation that Kurdish officials said was aimed at releasing jihadist prisoners before going ahead with a bid to take control of nearby areas, including the al-Hol camp, where hundreds of relatives of Islamic State fighters are located. . detained. Kurdish-led forces retook full control of the prison after a 10-day battle, thwarting the militants' broader operation.
Given the trauma linked to terrorism in France, returning Islamic State families en masse carries political risks that Macron has long seemed unwilling to take. His government's move last year to tighten its legislation against Islamic extremism seemed to indicate a hardening of this position.
In early 2019, a plan to repatriate at least 160 citizens, including adults, was called off at the last minute. Officials said conditions in the camp had become extremely volatile, but lawyers and rights groups said the French government was aborted out of fear of negative political consequences.
While repatriation efforts were underway Monday morning in Roj camp, near the border with Turkey, a French woman in detention, who was asked by her lawyer, Mr. Riviere, to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said she was more optimistic.
In audio messages sent to the New York Times, the woman said local authorities first focused on identifying French orphans to return. But she said they also told some mothers, to their surprise, that they might be leaving soon, too.
"It gives me some hope," said the woman.
On Tuesday morning, she was in France.

Home BlackBerry BlackBerry Z10 Review: Very Promising, Camera Above Expectations, Catchy UI (Video)
BlackBerry Z10 Review: Very Promising, Camera Above Expectations, Catchy UI (Video)
We've had the unique opportunity of test driving the BlackBerry Z10 last month and now we're back with a fully detailed text review of the device. The product is up for $99 on Amazon with a 2 year contract, or you can pay $529 for it on AT&T off commitment. We're dealing here with a model launched in January, together with BB 10 OS.
This is the first BB 10 OS handset and it comes with a chassis measuring 9 mm in thickness and weighing 137.5 grams. Its maximum temperature is 42 degrees, as our thermometer indicated and that temp is achieved in the center-right back area. We've got good grip thanks to the texture of the battery cover, that by the way is pretty easy to remove. From the front this model resembles the HTC One slightly and the iPhone 5 too.
BlackBerry Z10 has curved corners and it doesn't come with a metal frame, that thing that provides elegance and solidity to a handset. It packs a 4.2 inch display upfront and looks great, but its bezels are kind of big. On the left side of the phone we find the micro HDMI and microUSB ports, while on the right we've got the volume buttons and voice assistant button between them, also used to pause music.
Under the hood of the phone we find the battery, microSIM card slot and microSD. On the rear of the battery cover there's the NFC pad and the metal finish keys are quite nice, if we're still discussing the design. Moving on to the hardware, the BlackBerry Z10 provides support for quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, as well as LTE and it comes with a TFT LCD 4.2 inch display with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution. Specs also include a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core 1.5 GHz processor and the Adreno 225 GPU, as well as 16 GB of storage, 2 GB of RAM, a microSD card slot, HSDPA with 21 Mbps speed, WiFi dual band and Bluetooth 4.0.
At the back we find an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, while upfront we've got a 2 megapixel shooter. The battery inside the handset is a Li-Ion 1800 mAh unit, good enough for 9 hours of continuous HD video playback. The handset won't reach the end of the day with a full charge, sadly. As far as the audio goes, the headphones are uncomfortable in the user's ear, but at least they're loud.
The audio app in BB 10 OS doesn't have an EQ, but a good thing about the media experience is that you can listen to YouTube songs in the background, while you do something else. The sound of the speaker on the device is loud, it has good bass and it's clean. Call quality is also excellent, always a trademark of BlackBerry. As far as video goes, a variety of formats are supported, from MP4 for video to FLAC for audio. The screen here is a TFT LCD with 800 nits of brightness, nice outdoor behaviour and 15:9 aspect.
The contrast is good, colors are vivid, but the view angles could have been better. Moving on to the camera, the discussion is longer here. We're dealing with an 8 megapixel sensor, with LED flash and 1080p video capture. The UI of the camera is simple and when we filmed the review we didn't have options like HDR or Panorama, but the former arrived with an update in the meantime. Among the options we find stabilization, burst shot that takes 6 MP pics and the option to drag and drop the focus on the screen to focus your shots.
A feature that BlackBerry promoted a lot on this model is TimeShift, from Scalado. Basically it's a burst shot for faces, that allows you to pick the face you like from the 11 results. As far as camera performance goes, the low light performance is decent, the flash is powerful and the pictures are reasonably bright. The macro shots/closeups look stunning, but the colors are bit surreal and oversaturated.
As far as video capture goes, you can do 1080p, with the result being an MP4 file with 16 Mbps bitrate and mono sound. Overall, this camera is not bad, being around the level of Galaxy S II, if you want a comparison. On the software side we've got a totally new experience, called BlackBerry 10 OS. The web browser included here is pretty fast and it's Webkit-based, plus it comes with Flash support and a bottom address bar like IE Mobile. This browser scores 2309 points in Browsermark, which is very, very impressive and higher than any device with WP or Android I've tested lately.
The keyboard here is also unique, very, very comfortable to use and it has frets like a guitar. Said frets will have written on them suggestions and if you swipe up, the suggestions will reach the text writing area. You get suggestions for 3 languages at once, by the way. The keyboard will learn your writing pattern by using your messages from the past week. There's also voice dictation and overall the writing experience is fantastic.
BB 10 OS borrows from WebOS and MeeGo a bit and relies on gestures a lot. For example, a swipe from the bottom to the top will unlock the screen and when you're in an app, the swipe from the bottom to the top will trigger the homescreen with multitasking thumbnails. Up to 8 apps can be included in that multitasking window and shown as smaller thumbnail previews of the app. When you're inside an app you can do a slight swipe up in order to have a peek at notifications.
BlackBerry Hub is another interesting aspect, being the place where all the communication is gathered. Here you'll find texts, BBM messages, emails, Twitter and Facebook changes and missed calls. BlackBerry world is the app store of this platform, that has already reached 100k apps and many of them are taken straight from Android. Among the apps bundled on the phone we find Docs to Go, a pretty solid Office document editing app, Story Maker, Maps (Bing) and in the Settings area there's a lot of stuff to tweak, as shown in the video review below.
And now it's time for the verdict. Here are the Pros of the phone:
pretty good camera
interesting and promising OS
great security
pretty good display
great keyboard
And the Cons:
low battery life
slightly laggy especially in games (Batman)
not enough camera options
headphones are not that good
the price is a bit high
BlackBerry Z10 gets a 9.3 out of 10 for design from us, an 8 out of 10 for hardware and a 9.5 out of 10 for OS and UI. The final grade is 8.93 out of 10 and the device and platform are both very promising.

Follow the child - Let the child take the lead, choose activities, explore, problem-solve and ask for help. Too often parents and teachers intervene and do this for children. Let the child choose/do/be and simply follow along as an observer.
Since the child will be leading, help limit the environment so it is not overwhelming. In the 21st century, many environments tend to be busy, rushed and include too much stimulation. For example, is your child's bedroom under- or overwhelming? How about your child's classroom? Aim for simple spaces with readily available materials. For examples of what simple spaces look like in a classroom, be sure to read this post on Montessori Education, Part I and Part II. Both posts are filled with helpful photos.
To help keep spaces simple, consider rotating toys, books, and activities. Store items in plastic tubs or cardboard boxes in an attic, closet, or basement. Some clever parents and teachers rotate items once a season or 4-6 times a year to keep those items interesting and engage children.
Another day when I am in the Instagram-photo mood, I will take photos of lil O's spaces and show you how Mr. UpCyclist and I help her to simplify & organize them.

Canterbury Folk Festival
From British Columbia to Newfoundland, this year's Canterbury Folk Festival celebrates Canadian performers and music in Ingersoll from July 7 to 9
By Heather Rivers, Woodstock Sentinel-Review
It's not a one-time gig for The Once who will be returning to Ingersoll's Canterbury Folk Festival for the second time to close the festival at 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, July 9.
The award-winning and Juno-nominated indie trio from Newfoundland is looking forward to performing at the free festival that takes place in Ingersoll from Friday, July 7 to Sunday, July 9.
In Newfoundland lingo, The Once means "imminently but not necessarily so."
Formed 10 years ago, The Once's first album was recorded after a stranger at a show was so impressed he offered them $5,000 to record an album.
Known for their haunting interpretations of traditional music, the folk group's latest EP entitled 'We Win Some We Lose' incorporates a new artistic voice.
"I think we finally know what The Once sounds like," explained Phil Churchill. "And with that knowledge comes a freedom we would not let ourselves have before."
This year, in honour of Canada 150, the Canterbury Folk Festival features performers from every province across the nation.
"From British Columbia to Newfoundland, every province is represented," explained Brenda Boswell, head of marketing and promotions for the festival. "We have flags from all of the provinces which will be incorporated into the parade led by the Ingersoll Pipe Band (at 4 p.m. Saturday) and prominently displayed around the main stage."
The festival, she said, is attracting a lot of out-of-town attention due to the high "caliber of the performers."
Events begin with a Swine and Wine Pig Roast at 5 p.m. on Friday, followed by an evening of musical entertainment including Bob Evans, Glenn McFarlane, James Keeleghan and topped off with a performance by Lennie Gallant at 10 p.m.
After breakfast in the park, children's activities and a day full of workshops, Saturday evening performances include Denal Soares, Dan Stacey and the Black Swans, Tia McGraff, Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard, Ian Thomas and festival favorite Pavlo.
Special guests Aaron Bell Ojibwa Story Teller and the White Pine dancers will perform Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
"We're really pleased to have them back especially since its Canada 150," Boswell said. "They will represent Canada's aboriginal culture."
Sunday's performances include Hearts of Praise, Ted Comiskey and Jim Gonder, Coig, RPR and Red Moon Road.

Brazil's Travails, And Ours
Brazil's Travails, And Ours Charles Simkins looks at Brazil and the dire straits the country finds itself in, drawing instructive comparisons between the political and economic situations of South Africa and our troubled BRICS partner. https://admin.hsf.org.za/publications/hsf-briefs/brazils-travails-and-ours https://admin.hsf.org.za/@@site-logo/Untitled-1.png
Charles Simkins looks at Brazil and the dire straits the country finds itself in, drawing instructive comparisons between the political and economic situations of South Africa and our troubled BRICS partner.
By the end of 2015, Brazil's economy may be 8%
smaller than it was in the first quarter of 2014,
when it last saw growth. GDP per person could
be down by a fifth since its peak in 2010.
- The Economist, 2 January 2016
What has gone wrong with Brazil? And how do their economic and political problems compare with ours? [1]
1. The Brazilian economy is similar to ours in a number of respects. Although it has a surface area seven times ours and a population four times ours, it has almost the same gross domestic product (GDP) in dollar terms per capita as we do, when ruling exchange rates are used. Brazil's GDP per capita in purchasing power parity terms is between 20% and 25% higher than ours, which means that a dollar goes further in Brazil than in South Africa and that average living standards are higher. Brazil is a high inequality country (with a Gini index of 52.9), though not as unequal as South Africa (Gini index 63.4). The composition of output is similar, though the shares produced by agriculture and services in Brazil are higher than in South Africa, and the share of industrial output is lower. Gross fixed capital formation as a percentage of GDP (the gross investment rate) is higher in South Africa than in Brazil.
2. South Africa has a higher rank in global competitiveness comparisons. The difference in rank is marked. South Africa is also considered less corrupt than Brazil, but the gap in ranks is smaller than in competitiveness.
3. Brazil has higher government debt in relation to GDP than South Africa, and a higher rate of inflation, but monetary policy is tighter in Brazil. Brazil has a more rigid system of public finance than South Africa, with most of its federal budget ring-fenced by either the constitution or by legislation, as well as more extensive indexation, which creates greater opportunity for inflation to propagate itself. Even so, the increases in public debt in relation to GDP since 2010 (about 15%) have been broadly similar in the two countries. The difference between the short-term interest rate and the inflation rate is currently about 3.5% in Brazil, compared with 0.5% in South Africa. The gap between the short term interest rate and the ten year government bond rate is about 1% in Brazil, but over 3% in South Africa.
4. Both countries have suffered a negative development in terms of trade since 2010. The reason is broadly similar: the change from commodities boom to commodities bust. The deterioration is greater in South Africa. This has been accompanied by substantial and very similar exchange rate depreciations in both countries. In both cases, a local currency unit buys just under half of the dollars than it did in 2010. In both countries, foreign direct investment has fallen to very low levels. Brazil has a positive balance of trade at present, whereas South Africa's is negative. Both Brazil and South Africa have negative current balances, though South Africa's balance is more sharply negative.
5. In terms of net assets in relation to GDP, South Africa is in a worse position than Brazil. External debt as a percentage of GDP is markedly higher in South Africa, and foreign reserves in relation to GDP are markedly lower.
6. Labour market conditions differ between the countries. The labour force participation rates are slightly higher in South Africa. However, unemployment is much worse in South Africa, and the employment rate is markedly lower. The labour cost index in real terms declined significantly in Brazil between 2010, but increased marginally in South Africa. Overall, the labour market appears to be much more flexible in Brazil.
7. Business confidence has dropped further in Brazil. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is currently similar in the two countries. Moreover, rating agencies have put Brazil and South Africa in different positions: two of the three main agencies have placed Brazil in the junk category, whereas South Africa hovers uncertainly just above this level. In both countries, pro-growth reforms are needed to improve ratings.
8. Political conditions are quite different in some respects, but similar in others. To begin with, Brazil has a presidential democracy, while South Africa has a parliamentary democracy. Whereas South Africa has a dominant party, there are many parties in Brazil, none of which have a majority anywhere. Coalitions of the left and right are to be found in the Brazilian House of Deputies, but the executive finds relations with the legislature much more complex than in South Africa. The consequences are twofold. First, political contestation is much more public in Brazil. Secondly, a particular form of corruption is endemic in Brazil: cash payments to members of the legislature to facilitate the passing of legislation.
But there are similarities. Both countries have controversial and unpopular presidents. In fact, President Rousseff currently seems less popular than President Zuma. She is in danger of impeachment, whereas he is protected by a dominant party. Although both are at risk of ousting, if it were to happen, the mechanisms would be significantly different in the two countries. President Rousseff may be completely stymied by executive/legislature gridlock, and she would have to be impeached if she did not resign. Any ousting of President Zuma would be behind closed doors, and only the ANC itself can do it. In essence, political conflict will be predominantly inter-party in Brazil, but intra-party in South Africa.
The current configuration makes intervention by the International Monetary Fund inadvisable for two reasons. Both countries are some distance away from a balance of payments crisis, though South Africa is admittedly more vulnerable. And the IMF cannot intervene in heightened political conflict, even though this will result in more policy confusion in both countries. Political conflict would have to produce substantial deterioration in one or both countries' international economic relations before necessitating international financial institutions enter the scene.
Of course, political pressure is possible now. The geopolitical situations of Brazil and South Africa are different. Political pressure will be exerted on Brazil mainly by the United States. Political pressure on South Africa will be more diffuse, originating from the West, Russia and the East. There will undoubtedly be a South African attempt to play different sources of political pressure off against each other, but the government may well find that there is less room for manoeuvre than it currently hopes for.
9. Prospects. Both countries are vulnerable to developments in commodity prices and to world growth. It may be that modest improvements in either or both are possible, but the risk for further deterioration remains. Moreover, it is unlikely that modest economic improvement will de-escalate political tensions in either country. As a result, domestic political pressures may lead to further economic unravelling and poorer democratic performance over time. If that happens, years of stagnation await both Brazil and South Africa.

Formation of Character Volume 5 Pt 3. Chapter 1 (4)
The playground does invaluable work, and has much to do with the making of what is best and most characteristic in Englishmen; but, indeed, the training of the playground, as that of the schoolroom, is incomplete. The fact is, that the discipline of schoolroom and playground alike is largely carried on by stimulating and balancing, one against another, those desires which are common to us all as human beings—the desires of power, of society, of esteem, of knowledge, of mere animal activity, of excelling the rest, of work, or action, even avarice—the desire of wealth. Here is a formidable list; and it is quite possible, by playing upon and adjusting these natural desires, to govern a human being so that he may make a respectable figure in the world, while yet he has little sense of duty, feeble affections, and dispositions left to run wild, wanting the culture which should train mere
disposition into character. Now, this way of governing a person through his desires is the easiest in the world. The nurse knows it very well; his desire, of praise, or play, or lollipops, leaves something always in her hands wherewith to reward the child's good behavior. When attempts are made to stimulate people en masse, it is through their desires. They want work or play or power, money or land, and whoever plays upon any one of these desires gets the popular ear. Because this government through the desires is the easiest kind of government it is the most common, in the school as elsewhere; prizes, praise, place, success, distinction, whether in games or examinations, these are enough to keep a school going with such vigour, such éclat, that nobody is conscious of the want of other springs of action.
All these desires are right in themselves, within certain limits, and we may believe they were implanted in us as spurs to progress; the man who has no desire of wealth, no ambition, does not help himself and the world forward as does he who has these desires. Again, in the school the desires are, on the whole, well regulated, one brought into play against another, and the result is, such sturdy qualities, sterling virtues, as "make a man" of the boy brought under school discipline. The weak place is, that boys and girls are treated too much "in the rough," without regard to the particular tendencies in each which require repression, or direction, or encouragement. The vain girl is made vainer, the diffident is snubbed: there is no time to hand a crutch to the lame, to pick up the stumbling. All must keep the pace or drop out of the race. It is astonishing how crude may be the character, how unformed the principles, how undeveloped the
affections towards country, kindred, or kind, after a successful school career; the reason being, that the principle of government through the desires has left these things out of count. Nor is this the whole: the successful schoolboy too often develops into a person, devoid of intelligent curiosity, who hates reading, and shirks the labour of thought. I should like, here, to say a word about that most distressful evil which exceedingly depresses the thoughtful Heads of many of our great schools, and is, to parents, a terrorising, ambushed peril. As to what parents may do to prepare their boys for the risks to be encountered, I will say no word. Everyone knows what may be done, and it is possible that too much has been said already.
We are apt to forget that every manner of offence is conceived in thought before it is produced in act; that, in fact, the offence is committed potentially once it is so conceived. Therefore, there is possible danger in all teaching which tends to occupy the mind with sexual matters; we may, in our blind zeal, befoul, for the young, the beauty of flowers, besmirch the innocence of birds. If we teach with a certain object in view, we are very likely to be the unwilling suggesters of evil, because young people are always aware of the arrière pensée. The teacher who deals with scientific facts, quâ science, and caring for nothing else, does no harm; while the virtuous man, with a moral end in view, unconsciously suggests the very evil he would fight most strenuously. The boys believe that safety lies in an unsuspected quarter. The unoccupied mind offers harbourage, as we know, to the seven devils, and intellectual emptiness,
inanition, is probably the provocative cause of much that we deplore. Perhaps few schoolboys give a thought to their studies beyond the mere grind necessary to get them over; and yet boys are by nature consumed with intelligent curiosity. Give them entrancing studies which shall occupy their thoughts, and afford subjects for talk, as we all talk about the book we are reading, and there is no longer a vacuum for unclean imaginings to fill.
There are schools and schools; schools where mental discipline of the highest kind is combined with conscientious development of the character of the individual boy, and with such spiritual insight and teaching as help him into the better life; but such schools are not to be found in every street, and parents would do well not to take it for granted that it is one of these their boy attends: better, to take the school for what it is worth, thankful for the training it does afford; to look its deficiencies in the face, and take pains to supply by means of home training what the school fails to give.

Meaning and purpose are really important to lots of millennials. What is the purpose of our lives? What is the meaning of climate change, environmental degradation, the various conflicts in different parts of the world, and the rising inequality amongst people here? These questions can lead to intense feelings of anxiety and sadness.
After World War II, a number of philosophers and mental health therapists began considering the meaning of the horrendous acts that were committed.
Viktor Frankl was a psychiatrist imprisoned during World War II. In a previous blog, I wrote about his search for meaning during this time and how we might be able to find meaning when we're depressed.
Frankl developed logotherapy after his time in concentration camps recognizing that even during the most miserable suffering imaginable, we are driven to find meaning and can find it. It is definitely not easy, but we can find it.
Existential psychology was also developed after the war. Meaning and choice or the responsibility to find meaning were important ideas in this approach. It too stressed that during suffering it is up to us to find meaning and purpose.
Existentialism talks about four givens in life: freedom and responsibility, death, isolation, and meaninglessness. These are areas we must all learn to grapple with, or not. It is up to each of us to figure out how we're going to do that.
What difference does this make to millennials?
Some people, including millennials, are questioning the meaning or purpose of our lives. How can we find meaning and purpose in environmental issues, war and conflict, or economic disparity?
Both these approaches emphasize that it's up to each of us to find meaning on a broader or more moment-to-moment basis. Through challenging ourselves, our assumptions, our own responsibility to create meaning, we can find purpose. Is it easy? No. Is it important? Most definitely, especially now!

At Children's Ground, we decided that the status quo was unacceptable.
We work with each child in every family in a community to realise their aspirations for the cultural, social and economic wellbeing of the next generation. Education and opportunity are at the very heart of our approach, which involves working with Traditional Custodians and Elders as they lead the way in implementing the Children's Ground Platform.
The Children's Ground Integrated Learning and Wellbeing platform tackles the social, structural and economic determinants and inequities that currently underpin the devastating life experiences of children living in communities of extreme economic poverity. We respond to the multi-level influences on children's development and life from pre-birth to 25 years.
The service system is designed to create a safe environment for children and families. This is achieved by priviledging and respecting the First Language of the individual well as their culture and identity. The culture and identity of a child is fundamental to their learning and wellbeing.
Documentation of the story and development as it unfolds.
This is what First Nations parents and grandparents have been asking for and working to achieve - for decades.
This is what we demand of ourselves to deliver, in partnership with many, until that future is secure for all children in our country.


Bank of America has awarded Junior Achievement of Arizona and Year Up Arizona $200,000 each to continue their efforts of providing financial education and early job readiness for under-served children and young adults.
"Both organizations empower youth towards upward mobility through programs that help develop the attitudes, behaviors and skills needed to pursue long-term, sustainable jobs and a stronger financial future," according to a release.
While Arizona has experienced job growth that is predicted to continue, it also has one of the nation's highest rates of disconnected youth – young people who are homeless, in foster care, involved in the justice system or unemployed, according to the release.
"Junior Achievement of Arizona and Year Up Arizona are empowering students and young adults to be contributing members of our economy and community by giving them tools to help them see and begin to reach their full potential," Benito Almanza, Bank of America market president for Arizona, stated.
For Junior Achievement of Arizona, the grant funds will support the development of its first digital curriculum for 12- to 18-year-old students with relevant and accessible learning tools to help them build a solid financial foundation.
"This digital curriculum will not only allow us to provide interactive learning tools to under-served students but will also allow us to reach populations that do not currently have access to Junior Achievement of Arizona curriculum," stated Katherine Cecala, president of Junior Achievement of Arizona.
Year Up Arizona will use the grant funds for its young adult job training programs.
"The Neighborhood Builders Award will allow us to increase awareness of Year Up Arizona's proven approach to job training throughout the community and will help us grow to connect even more young adults in need of an opportunity with companies in need of their talent," stated Kim Owens, executive director.
As Neighborhood Builder awardees, Junior Achievement Arizona and Year Up Arizona also will receive a year of leadership training for their executive director and an emerging leader at the organization, access to a network of peer organizations across the United States, and the opportunity to access additional capital to expand their impact, according to the release.
Over the course of Neighborhood Builders' 15 years, Bank of America has partnered with 30 nonprofits in Phoenix, investing $6 million "to help address issues fundamental to improving economic mobility for individuals and families, such as workforce development, community development and basic needs," the release stated.
