RCB vs GT Probable Playing XIs For Their IPL 2022 Clash
During the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Gujarat Titans will meet one more. The game's outcome involving the Gujarat Titans will not have a significant impact on Bangalore's chances of finishing in the top four of the standings when it comes to qualifying for the playoffs.
Their recent triumphs over Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings, which have given them confidence, will serve as a source of motivation for them moving forward. In their most recent match, Gujarat held the defending champions, Chennai, to only 133 runs on the scoreboard. Despite having wickets in hand and two batters who were well-set, Chennai could only add 20 runs to their total during the final four overs of their innings.
Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill scored 59 runs together in the first over of the game, putting Gujarat in the driver's seat early in the contest. Immediately after, Gill, Saha, and Matthew Wade joined together to make an uninterrupted alliance of 67 runs, which ultimately led to his team's successful completion of the race.
Gujarat Titans were ahead of the other team at one stage in the game by seven wickets.
After suffering a loss at the hands of Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Banglore prepares to move on to the next round when they face off against Gujarat on Thursday. In the quest to catch Punjab, Bangalore could only muster 155 points despite the latter's staggering total of 209. Despite the best efforts of Glenn Maxwell and Rajat Patidar, Bangalore was only able to score 155 runs while up against an ever-increasing run rate.
Possible XI lineups for the cricket match between Royal Challenger Bangalore and Gujarat Titans
Royal Challengers Bangalore is a team in the Indian Premier League. The predicted lineup for the team is as follows: Faf du Plessis will serve as captain, followed by Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Mahipal Lomror, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, and Josh Hazlewood.
The most likely batting order for the Gujarat Titans includes the following players: Wriddhiman Saha (wicketkeeper), Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade, Hardik Pandya (captain), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, and Mohammed Shami.
The entire playing squads of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Gujarat Titans are below.
Royal Challengers Bangalore's roster consists of Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli (wicketkeeper), Glenn Maxwell, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik, Josh Hazlewood, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Finn Allen, Sherfane Rutherford, Susash Prabhudessai, Chama Milind, Aneesh.
Hardik Pandya is the captain of the Ahmedabad Titans, and Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, and Mohammed Shami are the other members of the team (fast bowlers). Only Shubman Gill has experience competing for Gujarat Titans in all three game versions. The other players have only participated in one.

Online instructional materials offered
ANN ARBOR---Instructors wishing to incorporate interactive demonstrations in their classrooms will soon be able to retrieve high quality, peer-reviewed learning materials from the Web. Through a new partnership between educational institutions called the Multimedia Education Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT), professors from around the world are submitting teaching aids in various disciplines to share with the educational community.
Eight professors from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint will serve as peer reviewers.
"Our initial undertaking will be to lead the review of health sciences and chemistry and participate in the reviews of information technology, psychology, and education," said Carl Berger, MERLOT project director for the University and professor of science and technology education. "Faculty members throughout the U-M system will be selected early in the fall to participate on peer review teams," he said.
"Last year, nearly 70 percent of U-M's faculty indicated through the University's Information Technology Faculty Survey that they would like to use the Web for collaboration and to present their work to others around the world," said José-Marie Griffiths, U-M's chief information officer. "The MERLOT project will facilitate collaboration and sharing among scholars while enabling the collaborative improvement of teaching and learning. We are delighted to participate in this new initiative that will enhance many aspects of the scholarly experience," said Griffiths.
"The number of professors who use online teaching materials in their courses grows daily. Yet most faculty members have a hard time finding good Web-based teaching content that is relevant to their discipline," says David J. Ernst, acting CEO for MERLOT and chief technology officer at the California State University, which created MERLOT two years ago.
"We expect the MERLOT project to both improve the quality of learning materials available and to help institutions avoid duplication of effort." Currently 23 partners are collaborating on the MERLOT project. Each organization contributes financial and faculty resources to evaluate materials on the Web site.
MERLOT's mission is to "improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning by expanding the quantity and quality of peer-reviewed online learning materials that can be easily incorporated into faculty designed courses."
The MERLOT project will offer a Web site that lists more than 3,000 learning materials that typically are components of courses, such as a laboratory simulation, rather than complete Web-based courses. They will be given a "one-to-five star" rating based on recommendations from the faculty peer review panels. The Web site, which can be found at http://www.merlot.org, will also offer advice about how to create student assignments, and allows users to post comments about the materials.
The institutions participating in the project include:
Association of Jesuit Colleges & Universities Distance Education Network; California Community College System; California State University; Canadian CAREO Project (Universities of Alberta and Calgary); Canadian COHERE Project (Universities of Alberta, Guelph, Waterloo, and York University); Council of Independent Colleges and Foundation for Independent Higher Education; Florida Board of Regents and Florida Community College System; Illinois Board of Higher Education; Indiana Commission for Higher Education; Iowa Board of Regents; Louisiana Board of Regents;
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education; South Dakota Board of Regents; State University of New York; Tennessee Board of Regents and University of Tennessee; Troy State University; University of Hawaii; University of Michigan; University of North Carolina; University System of Georgia; University of Wisconsin System; Virginia Community College System; Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (representing Universities of Utah, Nevada-Las Vegas, Wyoming, Arizona State University, and the Community Colleges of Colorado).

Flowers are placed at the fountain in Alexander the Great Parkette on July 29, 2018, to remember the victims of the Danforth shooting on July 22. CITYNEWS/Craig Wadman
This weekend is a busy one in the city with several events taking place, including the Taste of the Danforth and a benefit concert for the victims of the Danforth shooting.
If you plan to travel around the city using the TTC, a portion of Line 1 will be closed for construction.
Taste of the Danforth
Taste of the Danforth returns to Greektown this weekend, for its 25th annual event. The festival kicks off on Friday night and runs until Sunday. There will be over 150 great eats from local vendors, along with free entertainment. Highlights include the age-old tradition of smashing plates, a sports zone, Hollywood on the Danforth and a kids' fun zone. Taste of the Danforth also celebrates Canada's multiculturalism, with a "Let's Dance" stage where guests can enjoy 15-minute dance lessons from Greek, Chinese, South Asian, Filipino, and other groups.
Toronto Together
A benefit concert is being held at the Danforth Music Hall on Saturday night, in support of the victims of the deadly shooting on the Danforth on July 22. The attack claimed the lives of 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis and left 13 others injured. Acts include Billy Talent, City & Colour, Pup and more. The concert gets underway at 7 p.m., with proceeds supporting the #TorontoStrong fund.
Sweetery
Canada's largest sweets festival is taking over David Pecaut Square this weekend. Sweetery celebrates local chefs, students and artists. Vendors include Eva's Original Chimneys, Holy Cannoli, The Coffee Barn and Mankind Desserts. There will also be six activity tents with sweet-related games, benefiting Second Harvest. Guests can indulge their sweet tooth between noon and 11 p.m. on Saturday and noon and 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Q: iPhone seems to be caching passwords or credentials, how to remove them? My IT department is suspecting that my iPhone is caching some passwords or some other credentials to our work network that causes account lock downs for my work PC (the IT system receives invalid passwords and locks down).

*

*I have deleted all work related apps.

*I have deleted my work related email account from the phone.

*I have deleted the Wi-Fi profiles (for login into our work Wi-Fi).

*I have deleted the work PC reference under my Apple ID section (next to the Apple Watch).

*I have deleted all stored passwords.

Are there other places where a password or credential can be stored?
Would a full reset of my iPhone be the only solution to fix that kind of problem ? and "rebuild" everything from scratch (everything is and will be backed up before I do this)

A: Your IT department is right. Your iPhone applications are caching account and password informations, even when the last typed value is plain wrong.
Your IT department wasn't helpful enough.
They should have also told you that your company PC, and most notably applications on it could also be caching account and password information.
All applications requiring an authentication are caching accounts and passwords.
In both cases (iPhone applications, and PC applications) your IT department should know which one is causing your account locking (they have the originating IP address and the server rejecting your account).
They should provide you this key information to avoid you to destroy your own configuration work.
I am sorry, all the attempts you described in your question look like the use of a baseball bat to hunt a mosquito in a porcelain store.
1st thing to do:
ask your IT department where are coming your account connection attempts with an incorrect password.
If they are able to provide you a clear answer to this easy question,
then ask them the 2nd one:
ask them with which protocol was this account connection attempted.
This information will enable you to focus on the equipment (either iPhone or PC) and application to fix (either E-mail client of web browser or Wi-Fi access).
Then what you will have to do is:

*

*Erase just the registered password within the culprit application. On the iPhone you might have to erase the account in the case of Mail or Thunderbird application.

*Connect with this culprit equipment and make an explicit connection with the culprit application, and make sure you enter your correct password. This will store this one in the application cache,
and will stop the use of the wrong one which was previously stored.

If anything in this draft answer is unclear or isn't directly adressing the original problem,
please feel free to improve the question or my answer.

7 years has passed. Earth Quake and Tsunami took about 20000 lives. And Nuclear disaster continues to lead us to the unkonwn future.
Many differnt theories has been expressed about a radiation matter. Some of them says Radiation in Fukushima is not danger to our body. Some of them says that there are already many victims of Radiation.
It make me think that how we the people live out side of Fukushima support. A Buddhist Monk Pray. At Southern Minami Soma city where recently J.P. government permitted to live after Nuclear contamination.

ALSOK is a one of the biggest security company in Japan. You may think that security men are armed like U.S's security companies. But, As you see them, they have no arms. they are bare hands. They don't look sturdy, they look very normal men.

Born - 14 August 1946, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Rugged-looking Scottish actor with light-brown, curly hair. Born in Scotland, but raised in Canada, he returned to the UK as a young man and began a theatrical career that took in roles both as an actor and behind the scenes, while squeezing in a few films as well. After a movie debut as an attendant in A Midsummer Night 's Dream (1968), he made The Desperados (1969), Figures in a Landscape (1970), Welcome to the Club (1971), The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie (1972), Diamonds on Wheels (1974), The Spiral Staircase (1975), Force Ten from Navarone (1978), Dirty Money (1979), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), The Dogs of War (1980), Reds (1981), Ragtime (1981), Superman III (1983), Lassiter (1984), King David (1985), Eat the Rich (1987) and Whoops Apocalypse (1988). In his later years, he became best known as Saffy's gay father in TV's long-running Absolutely Fabulous series. Married with three children, he died from cancer.


If used carelessly, it can lead to performance issues. This post will list some of the best practices in using jQuery that will help us avoid them.
Well, no points for guessing whats wrong here. This piece of code works just fine, since the fruits array is of 8 items only. But suppose we had a list of 1000 items, it would really mess up the speed of the website because we are repeatedly appending elements to the DOM, inside a loop.
Instead of doing this, we can build up a html first and then append it to the DOM.
Though jQuery can select elements very quickly, it is not necessary to search for the same elements many times.
Selecting the same element multiple times here.
// Selecting the same element multiple times here.
With the first approach, jQuery queries the DOM using document.querySelectorAll(). With the second, jQuery uses document.getElementById(), which is faster, although the speed improvement may be diminished by the subsequent call to .find().
Be specific on the right-hand side of your selector, and less specific on the left.
The DOM is slow; you want to avoid manipulating it as much as possible. jQuery introduced detach() in version 1.4 to help address this issue, allowing you to remove an element from the DOM while you work with it.
If you're changing the CSS of more than 20 elements using .css(), consider adding a style tag to the page instead for a nearly 60% increase in speed.
The $( document ).ready() is fired when a page's own DOM is loaded, but not external assets like images and stylesheets while $( window ).load() is fired when everything a page is made up of, including its own content and its sub-resources are loaded.
So, if you're writing a script that relies on a page's sub-resources, like changing the background color of a div that's styled by an external stylesheet, only then use $( window ).load() else it's better to stick to $( document ).ready().
We were working on two problem statements at different points in time of a project and we interestingly found similar solution for both.
Problem A: We have a form, one of the input fields (defined as a directive) has a clear button. This clears the text in the input field, the data in the ng-model as well as the data held in the variable that gets submitted finally via the form. Now, we have a universal clear button that also needs to clear all the 3 data points.
Problem B: We have a section that has been defined as a directive which can be expanded/collapsed using a toggle button. The expand/collapse is handled by the directive. The initial state of the directive, whether it should be expanded or collapsed, is actually dependent on a value obtained from an API call.
In both cases the common thing that one can notice is that there is an external trigger that needs to be passed on into the directive. In Angular 1.4 there is no direct way to do this. Directives do support two way binding, and passing initial values. But neither would solve the exact requirement in both problems.
The solution that we came up with was passing a control object to the directive. The controller defined a control object, a key of which will be pointing to a function. This object was passed on to the directive, and directive initialised the control object's key (control object which is two-way bound) with a function that gives access to the variables/functions inside the directive. Being two-way bound, this function is now available in the controller. This can be passed on to anywhere (factory, as it was in case of solution for problem B) or used locally.
Once you are done with this you are ready to send mail. Well I also thought the same, but when I ran the code BOOM. So what we dont have is deliver! method in the Aws::SES module. So you extend Aws::SES:Client. I did it in the initializer itself.
VOILA! You get back the message ID that the API send back and you can store it to track the delivery status of your mail.
Note: AWS SES provides SMTP service as well, which is easier to integrate but you wont be able to track the deliver from your application. Also SMTP access key pair is different from the access key pair that we use for API (which is global API key pair. I have not tried the IAM setting with this).
One such third party plugin that we had to replace was the jquery validate plugin. After including the appropriate gem(rails-assets-jquery-validate) from rails-assets site in the gemfile and running bundle to install that gem you might observe from the Gemfile.lock that this gem depends on the rails-assets-jquery-gem.
The BIG question now is, how does the rails-assets-jquery-validate gem(I had installed the gem with version 1.13.1) know which version of the rails-assets-jquery gem it should pick up, given that unlike rubygems.org the current rails-assets site(based on the screenshot below) doesn't currently list the runtime dependencies required for a gem(which in our case is that we can't directly find the runtime dependencies for rails-assets-jquery-validate gem).
One can find out the exact dependencies required wrt a specific gem by checking out the bower.json file with respect to appropriate code repository corresponding to the gem(in the context of our e.g., this would be for checking out the bower.json file of the rails-assets-jquery-validate gem related code repository) listed on the rails assets site.
And Map will always map to the first one and will not respect the priority.
Many of us used of so many gems in ruby, so lets try to create a basic gem.
Simple, We just have to generate two files to create your own gem.
s.description = "A simple greeting gem"
Step 3: Generate gem file.
This command will build the gem, which can be used in another ruby program.
Step 4: Test the gem.
gem install greeting_gem, to install the gem locally to test it out.
Add as many methods you want in the same way and move on to bigger things.
I realized the importance of reading documentation clearly and with care, when I spent hours debugging this stupid problem.
This is an Active Record callback in action. We are setting a boolean field 'approved' to false in the before_create ActiveRecord callback.
This code is simple, straightforward and looks flawless, until you see a ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved exception when you try to create a Topic. Our only savior, the errors object also doesn't give us any information on what went wrong.
1. Implicit return values in Ruby. This feature always returns the value of the last executed statement in a method or block.
2. If an ActiveRecord callback returns false, all the later callbacks and the associated action are cancelled.
In our example, the statement 'self.approved = false' returns false and since that is the last statement executed in the callback, the callback returns false which cancels the create operation.


A second sun has risen above the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, with the spectacular launch of Soyuz TMA-11M and three new resident crew members for the International Space Station (ISS). Liftoff occurred precisely on time at 9:14:28 a.m. local time Thursday, 7 November (11:14:28 p.m. EST Wednesday, 6 November). At the time of writing, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin, NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, and Japan's Koichi Wakata are midway through a six-hour, four-orbit rendezvous profile, preparing for a docking at the space station's Earth-facing (or "nadir") Rassvet module at 3:31 p.m. Baikonur time (5:31 a.m. EST) Thursday.
With the prime crew and their backups—Russian cosmonaut Maksim Surayev, NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, and Germany's Alexander Gerst—having traveled from the Star City training center on the outskirts of Moscow to Baikonur in Kazakhstan in late October, the final preparations for today's launch proceeded exceptionally smoothly. On Monday, 4 November, technical managers met under the chairmanship of RSC Energia President and General Designer Vitali Lopota to unanimously authorize the rollout of the Soyuz vehicle in a horizontal configuration out to the launch pad. Early Tuesday, beautifully illuminated by the morning sun, the rocket made its final journey before space and was elevated into a vertical position on the pad.
Shortly after 6:30 a.m. local time Thursday (8:30 p.m. EST Wednesday), clad in their Sokol launch and entry suits, Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata were spotted departing the bus at the base of the pad. The three men were soon aboard the spacecraft, with Tyurin in the center seat, flanked by Mastracchio to his left and Wakata to his right. With the calming strains of Vivaldi piped into the cabin at one stage, the final two hours of pre-launch preparations ran like clockwork. The rocket was transitioned to its internal guidance system, and at T-40 minutes the servicing tower was retracted, exposing the bright colors of its Sochi 2014 Olympics mural.
Fueling with refined rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) and liquid oxygen concluded and moved into a "topping-off" mode, thereby ensuring that cryogenic boil-off was rapidly replenished until shortly before launch time. This ensured that the liquid oxygen tanks were maintained at Flight Ready levels, ahead of the ignition of the rocket's first stage engines. In the final quarter-hour, the Launch Abort System (LAS) will be armed and switched to Automatic Mode, and at T-5 minutes Commander Tyurin's controls were activated and the crew was instructed to close their visors. Internal avionics were initiated and on-board flight recorders were spooled-up to monitor the vehicle's myriad systems.
Inside the control bunker, the "launch key" was inserted at T-5 minutes, effectively enabling the ordnance to support Soyuz TMA-11M's ascent, and the final phase of the countdown saw the completion of nitrogen purging, the pressurization of tanks, and the topping-off of cryogenics. At T-10 seconds, the turbopumps on the central core and the four tapering strap-on boosters awoke and the engines were confirmed at full power, producing a retraction of the fueling tower and a perfect, on-time liftoff. This was the first piloted Soyuz launch to occur in the hours of daylight since October 2012.
"Liftoff of the Soyuz rocket and the TMA-11M spacecraft," exulted NASA's commentator, "on a truly Olympic leap, delivering three more crew members to the International Space Station, on a historic mission to continue the seamless transition of humans on their own relay to continue studying science in space." Rising rapidly, the vehicle passed 1,100 mph (1,770 km/h) within a minute of liftoff, producing a clipped "Flight nominal" from the Russian announcer. At T+118 seconds, at an altitude of about 28 miles (45 km), the four tapering strap-on boosters exhausted their propellant and were jettisoned, leaving the central core and its single RD-108 engine to continue the ascent. By two minutes into the flight, the vehicle was traveling at over 3,350 mph (5,390 km/h).
The payload shroud and escape tower were jettisoned shortly afterward, and, some 4 minutes and 58 seconds after leaving Baikonur, the core separated at an altitude of 105 miles (170 km) and the third and final stage ignited to boost Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata to a velocity in excess of 13,420 mph (21,600 km/h). By the time that the third stage departed the vehicle, nine minutes into the flight, the crew was in space. Aboard the spacecraft—and serving as an indicator of the onset of weightlessness—was a small polar bear mascot for the Winter Olympics, which begin in February 2014 in the Black Sea coastal city of Sochi. In addition to the mascot, and the garishly-painted payload shroud mural, Soyuz TMA-11M is carrying a modified Olympic torch, which will be symbolically carried outside by Expedition 37 cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky during a spacewalk on Saturday, 9 November, then brought back to Earth by Fyodor Yurchikhin, Karen Nyberg, and Luca Parmitano aboard Soyuz TMA-09M on the night of Sunday, 10 November.
The launch of the new mission was broadcast live on the dual LED displays of the large Toshiba Vision screen in New York's Times Square. "The space station serves as a unique laboratory for researchers around the world, home to astronauts from multiple countries, and it was built with international co-operation," said William Gerstenmaier, NASA's Associate Administrator for Human Exploration and Operations, "so it's fitting to show the launch of the next crew in the most cosmopolitan city in the United States." Broadcasting NASA Television coverage from Baikonur, the screen covered the event from 10:15 p.m. EST Wednesday—about an hour ahead of launch—until 11:45 p.m. EST, by which time Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata had achieved orbit.
Two computer-guided "burns" of Soyuz TMA-11M's maneuvering thrusters took place within the first 90-minute orbit of Earth, with several others to follow over the next couple of hours. According to Spaceflight101, docking with the ISS is scheduled for 3:31 p.m. Baikonur time (5:31 a.m. EST) Thursday, about six hours and 17 minutes after launch. In the aftermath of capture, a complex series of pressure and other checks will be conducted to verify the integrity of the seal between the two space vehicles. Hatch opening is anticipated at 7:40 a.m. EST, a little over two hours after docking, and Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata will undoubtedly be engulfed in hugs from the incumbent Expedition 37 crew.
And that event will make for a crowded home in space. For the first time since the end of the shuttle era, no fewer than nine people—Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin of Russia, together with fellow Russians Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky, NASA astronauts Karen Nyberg and Mike Hopkins, and Italy's Luca Parmitano, together with Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata—will be aboard the multi-national outpost at the same time. Under normal circumstances, six-person ISS crews follow an "indirect" rotation protocol, whereby a given three-member subset departs the station, temporarily reducing the population to three, after which another crew arrives a couple of weeks later to restore it back up to six people.
As part of preparations for the arrival of a third Soyuz spacecraft at the station—which currently plays home to Soyuz TMA-09M, launched in May, and Soyuz TMA-10M, launched in September—a relocation of vehicles was performed on Friday, 1 November. Yurchikhin, Nyberg, and Parmitano boarded their TMA-09M craft and undocked it from Rassvet, then performed a 21-minute "flyaround" to redock with the aft port of the Zvezda module. Meanwhile, Soyuz TMA-10M remains docked to the space-facing (or "zenith") Poisk module. The relocation thus opens up Rassvet for the arrival of Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata. ISS Program managers prefer to utilize the nadir Rassvet and zenith Poisk modules for Soyuz vehicles, in order that the Zvezda aft port (which lies on the station's longitudinal axis) can be occupied by Progress or Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) cargo ships for reboost purposes. Since Soyuz TMA-09M is scheduled to depart the ISS on 10 November, and the next Progress is not due to launch until 25 November, its brief presence at the Zvezda aft port does not pose any visiting vehicle traffic complications.
In the aftermath of today's Soyuz TMA-11M docking, there will be little time for Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata to get acclimatized, for at 9:30 a.m. EST on Saturday, 9 November, Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky will venture out of the Pirs airlock into the vacuum of space for an ambitious and highly symbolic spacewalk. The most publicly visible objective of EVA-36—the 36th spacewalk to be performed from the station's Russian Segment—is to carry a modified version of the chrome-and-red Sochi Olympic torch into the airless void.
Grappling the modified torch in their gloved hands, Kotov and Ryazansky plan to take a number of photographs, possibly with Sochi as the backdrop. Several other exterior maintenance tasks are also planned. Originally, much of the work of Russian spacewalkers over the next few months involved communications, data and Ethernet cable installation, and reconfiguration in support of the launch of Russia's long-delayed Multi-Purpose Laboratory Module (MLM)—originally planned for December 2013, then April and September 2014—but its recent postponement until no earlier than September 2015 has forced changes to be implemented. Planning remains in flux, but it appears at present that Kotov and Ryazansky's EVA on 9 November may be one of only two spacewalks scheduled for the ISS for at least the next six months. Another excursion, EVA-37, also by Kotov and Ryazansky, is provisionally scheduled for 16 December.
With the ceremonial brandishing of the Olympic torch on 9 November, Kotov and Ryazansky will bring the symbol of the Games back inside the ISS, and the process of packing it aboard the Soyuz TMA-09M descent module for its return to Earth will commence almost immediately. Expedition 37 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin will relinquish command of the station, and Kotov will formally take over his duties, marking the start of Expedition 38. Yurchikhin, Karen Nyberg, and Luca Parmitano—who have been aboard the space station since late May—are slated to board Soyuz TMA-09M and undock from the Zvezda module at 6:26 p.m. EST Sunday, 10 November. Three hours later, following a fiery plunge through the atmosphere, they will touch down on the desolate steppe of Kazakhstan, concluding 166 days in orbit.
As noted in a recent AmericaSpace article, the final days of Tyurin, Mastracchio, and Wakata's mission may feature the arrival of another SpaceX Dragon craft. Present plans call for SpX-4 to launch on 29 April, transporting the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (CREAM) instrument into orbit to analyze high-energy cosmic radiation from a perch on the Exposed Facility of Japan's Kibo laboratory. With the undocking of Progress M-21M and the arrival of Progress M-23M also scheduled for late April, Expedition 38/39 is shaping up to be a busy increment, dominated by regular deliveries and science.

Since March I've been working out with a fitness instructor. She is the toughest, most motivated coach I've ever known. Sadly, today was our last day together because she's beginning maternity leave and I'm moving out of the area. I was reflecting on what made her such a great trainer, and I think the essence was her undying belief in everyone's ability to improve. Each exercise was a chance to do better than last time — to perfect one's form, do one more repetition, or to slow the speed of a lift or increase the resistance involved.
…and when I fatigued she'd find a way to motivate me: "Pretend the building is on fire and you have to save the baby on the 7th floor." I'd laugh and groan…and also cut a few seconds off my time.
Klaudia always praised me for my efforts, even when I was shaking or panting and beet red. I'd tease her about her sneaky ways to get me to do more than I thought I could (she had many ways to modify an exercise to make it harder, all the while leading me to believe that I was getting a break.) It's hard to believe that I actually looked forward to our sessions, because after seven months of training I'm still sore after each one of them!
One day we accidentally overdid it on some calf raises. Two days later I was so sore that I had to cancel our next session (the ONLY time I did so). Klaudia immediately called me and encouraged me to come in anyway. "How do you expect me to get there, Klaudia? I don't have a wheelchair," I snipped. "We can still do upper body exercises!" she responded jubilantly.
There's a lot that healthcare professionals can learn from Klaudia. I bet if we had her attitude with our patients we could motivate them to improve their health a great deal. When we believe in our patients' ability to change, they will believe it, too. Everyone can improve something about themselves. Each day offers us the opportunity to strive a little harder, push a little farther, sweat a little longer — no matter what our "disabilities," there is no limit to what we can work on.
Dr. Val: Well, I don't think I'll need a full set of free weights. I'll never be able to lift anything more than 30 pounds I'm sure.
Klaudia: Sure you could. You should get a full set.
Dr. Val: Are you kidding? I'm not going to be bicep curling those 60-pound dumbbells.
Dr. Val: Well, because everyone has physical limits, and I probably won't ever be able to bench press a car either.
Klaudia: You could do it.
Dr. Val: Bench press a car?
Klaudia: Well maybe not, but probably 160 pounds.
Dr. Val: Uh…that's quite a commitment.
Klaudia: You could do it!
P.S. Klaudia is a fitness instructor at Fitness Together (FT) in Alexandria, Virginia. FT has a unique approach to fitness, and is designed to pair each client with a private trainer in a separate area of the gym. The 1:1 attention focuses the workouts like nothing else. If you're looking for a gym in the DC area, I'd highly recommend checking them out!

Feeling embodiment over our body or body part has a major role in the understanding of the self and control of self-actions. Even though it is crucial in our daily life, embodiment is not an homogenous phenotype across population, as quantified by implicit and explicit measures (i.e., neuroimaging or self-reports). Studies have shown differences in neuropathological conditions compared to healthy controls, but also across healthy individuals. We discuss examples of self-perception differences, and the molecular origin of embodiment, focusing on clinical cases, during the first and second section. We then discuss two important questions in this molecular-to-embodiment relationship: (i) which are the molecular levels (and their associated techniques) that can be relevant to embodiment, and (ii) which are the most adequate experiments to correlate molecular profiles and embodiment quantification across individuals. Potential answers for both questions will be outlined during the third and fourth sections, respectively, in order to design a framework to study the molecular profile of body embodiment.
Sense of embodiment refers to the feeling of owning and controlling a body (Kilteni et al., 2012), leading to the believe that it is the own body. This contributes to generate the representation of the bodily-self in the brain. Self-representation has two distinct subcomponents, sense of ownership (i.e., attributing a body or body part to the self) and sense of agency (i.e., having sense of control over the action). The former arises from the combination of multiple information sources, such as visual or tactile (Gallagher, 2000), the latter arises when the efferent copy of an intention of an action and its actual sensory outcome match (Wolpert and Miall, 1996; Gallagher, 2000).
Since Botvinick and Cohen developed the Rubber Hand Illusion paradigm (Botvinick and Cohen, 1998), the study of self-representation has grown interest in the field of cognitive sciences. The way the bodily-self is represented becomes crucial for the interaction of the individual with the environment and with other individuals. Moreover, this relationship is not unidirectional, as this self-representation is updated with the information obtained from the interaction with external sources. By means of the sensory organs, the brain receives multisensory information that is used to update and change self- and other-representation constantly. Due to this plasticity the process is malleable experimentally, thus generating embodiment over fake body parts or full bodies (Botvinick and Cohen, 1998; Lenggenhager et al., 2007; Slater et al., 2008). The effect of these changes has not only been reported behaviorally, but also through neuroimaging studies using fMRI. It has been shown that changes in the representation of the self caused experimentally (i.e., rubber hand illusion, or full body swap illusion) cause changes in activity in multisensory brain areas, when compared to conditions in which there is no reported illusion by the subjects (Ehrsson et al., 2005; Petkova et al., 2011). The implication of these areas (i.e., premotor cortex, intraparietal cortex, and putamen) suggests the importance of the multisensory integration on the feeling of ownership.
More importantly, embodiment has been shown to be affected by neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorders) and in several psychiatric and neurological conditions (see a summary in Table 1). Autism spectrum disorder patients have been shown to be less susceptible to feel ownership of a rubber hand (Palmer et al., 2015). Also, other experimental paradigms reported an altered sense of embodiment over the own body in the case of autistic patients (Conson et al., 2015), as their findings suggest that these patients rely less on one's own information to infer states over another person or external object. On the other hand, schizophrenic patients perceive other-generated actions as their own in a bimanual interference task, thus presenting an increased sense of agency (Garbarini et al., 2016). This could be due to an alteration in the comparison between estimation and actual sensory feedback of the action. Another case is the one of hemiplegic patients that can feel ownership over another person performing an action, even when the arm is in the position of the limb over which they have no control (Garbarini et al., 2015). Moreover, some dementias (e.g., frontotemporal dementia) can also affect patient's sense of ownership (measured by the rubber hand illusion) and sense of agency (using a test for the attribution of an action) (Downey et al., 2014). Interestingly, Alzheimer's patients seem to have a similar self-perception than their healthy counterparts, but with defects in the attribution of self- vs. non-self memories (Bond et al., 2016). Finally, anorexia nervosa causes profound alterations in body image perception (Keizer et al., 2011, 2012) and patients with Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) also show defects in body representation (Miles et al., 2011).
Table 1. Summary of the neuropathological conditions affecting self-perception and embodiment.
Nonetheless, variability in phenotypes related to embodiment can also be seen in healthy subjects, which, for example, have different levels of reported sense of ownership and agency when embodying a virtual limb. Moreover, the response to modulations to the embodied virtual limb is also different depending on the participant (Brugada-Ramentol et al., in preparation). In addition, tactile discrimination is variable in non-psychotic subjects, an effect related to schizotypic differences among subjects (Lenzenweger, 2000). The existence of these basal differences in addition to the embodiment alterations observed in pathological conditions suggest the presence of genetic and molecular risk factors associated to embodiment defects. In addition, the heterogeneity of phenotypes observed in the different disorders points to specific components of embodiment that can be impaired, and to different molecular and neural pathways that can affect to these components.
The variability across population observed in embodiment can be due to two specific sources: the genetic differences among individuals and the unique environmental or external factors that modulate the physiology of each subject. We have not found any reports on possible genetic factors altering the sense of embodiment in healthy individuals, but there are specific mutations in patients affected by frontotemporal dementia that correspond to self-perception alterations. For example, the presence of C9ORF72 or MAPT mutations correlate to different embodiment defects (Downey et al., 2014). In addition, we have previously mentioned that schizophrenic patients have an increased sense of agency (Garbarini et al., 2016) and several genetic factors have been associated to this condition using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (Schizophrenia Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, 2014; Sekar et al., 2016). Interestingly, autism spectrum disorders, which also affect embodiment, share some of these genetic mutations in the following genes: APH1A, CNOTC, CSMDC, CUL3, CYPC7AC, CYP26BC, EPHX2, LRPC, MAPK3, MEF2C, MPP6, MYOC5A, NISCH, PBRMC, PRKDC, RIMS1, TSNAREC, WDR55, and ZNF80HA (Schizophrenia Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, 2014). Other mutations from neuropathological conditions (see Table 1 for a summary) can also be obtained, and, therefore, future studies could assess the overlapping mutations among these conditions that can be linked to specific alterations in embodiment, and their relationship to self-perception differences in healthy subjects.
From a physiological point of view, the diverse origins of embodiment variability could converge into similar outputs. For example, a genetic change or a pharmacological treatment might target to different molecules, but at a downstream level they might merge into a common pathway. As embodiment is a complex phenotype requiring several cognitive components, it is evident that multiple pathways might be involved. The use of neuronal imaging techniques like fMRI will be needed to assess how molecular differences can correlate with brain activation patterns, as some of these pathways will converge at the neural level, as shown for the oxytocin receptor epigenetic changes (Puglia et al., 2015). Nevertheless, in this article we only focus on the molecular pathways for two reasons: (i) the efficiency of state-of-the-art molecular techniques to obtain a complete picture of the physiological state of the subject at different biological levels, and (ii) the simplicity of these methods for scientists in fields other than molecular biology. In summary, our key point is that we can study the differences in embodiment looking for intermediate, molecular outputs instead of genetic and environmental differences, much more complex and uncontrollable. This studies could be complementary to the analyses of neural circuitry.
Embodiment is a complex phenotype in which several molecular pathways and neural circuits probably contribute to a proper self-representation. We thus expect the implication of several molecules and circuits at the same time in self-representation variability. This argues for the use of -omic techniques to obtain system-level results using a single sample from an individual. The combination of several of these -omic techniques will also increase the reliability of the markers obtained, reducing the amount of false positives (Ge et al., 2003).
We will describe three different classes of -omic techniques, depending on their functional level within the body. First, genomic techniques try to assemble the complete set of DNA of an organism. As every cell in the body has the same genome, individual samples can be obtained from simple procedures like either saliva or blood extraction. Massive DNA sequencing would be usually performed in an external facility, with a minimal sample preparation, and with a cost decreasing due to technical advances. Its main problem is the distance between DNA sequence and its actual cellular function, like neuronal activation. Therefore, the effect observed in cognitive phenotypes is usually very low, and thousands of subjects need to be studied in order to find significant associations with genetic factors (Sekar et al., 2016).
As a second level of -omic techniques, we include epigenomics and transcriptomics. These normally use sequencing as in genomics, so the complete set of chromatin (epigenetic) and expression (transcriptional) states of a sample, respectively, can be obtained. We can describe both results as regulatory profiles of an individual, because epigenomic and transcriptomic changes correspond to variations in the physiology of the subject. This is their main difference respect to genomics, resulting in a more functional level that can reflect significant correlations even in cognitive phenotypes. Their cost and simplicity is similar to genomics, but they also have a clear disadvantage: epigenetic and transcriptional changes are tissue-specific, so you need to either access brain samples or analyze the indirect changes produced in other tissues like blood or saliva. Nevertheless, efforts are made in order to assess neuroepigenetic changes using brain imaging (Yeh et al., 2013; Wey et al., 2016).
Finally, the third level of -omic techniques are proteomics and metabolomics. The set of proteins and metabolites, respectively, of a sample cannot be obtained by sequencing as in the former cases. The cost is usually higher, the protocols needed to prepare the samples are not as simple, and it is sometimes difficult to find an external facility that can analyze the samples. Nevertheless, proteomics and metabolomics have three strong advantages. They are regulated like in the case of epigenomics and transcriptomics, they are often secreted into fluids like blood or saliva, so we can use a simple extraction, and, in addition, proteins and metabolites are usually final outputs of the organism, so they are very close to the real function that we want to measure. In this case, some metabolomic approaches have deciphered brain neurophysiology and connectomics (Piomelli et al., 2007; Ivanisevic et al., 2014).
When studying the behavioral component of embodiment, there is an increasing need to rely more on physiological and implicit measures, and less on the use of explicit measures (e.g., self-report statements). In this case, molecular assessment could be used complementary to implicit behavioral measures of body ownership and sense of agency (i.e., proprioceptive drift, threat to virtual body or body-part, and intentional binding) and their changes related to embodying over a fake body part. They can also become complementary to the already existing imaging studies.
Previous studies has shown that people feel ownership over a virtual arm or body in experimental conditions that allow first-person perspective (Slater et al., 2010), shape and texture of the fake hand (Haans et al., 2008), congruent position of the hand (Tsakiris and Haggard, 2005), among others. Moreover, recently there has been an increasing use of virtual reality. For a potential experiment to study embodiment using molecular techniques, we would suggest taking advantage of virtual reality. This technique allows to create environments with ecological characteristics that resemble the real environment, while still being able to control for experimental variables (Tarr and Warren, 2002; Parsons, 2015). We propose that tissue samples (saliva or blood) could be extracted before exposure to the experiment of embodying a virtual arm; this will allow to study possible correlations with basal proteomic levels of each participant and the explicit self-report answers, implicit measures, and neuronal imaging patterns. Moreover, samples should also be extracted after exposure, allowing to compare changes in proteomic content before and after exposure to the experiment. For this end, we would suggest two experimental groups. The control group would be exposed to a virtual reality environment, measuring their basal capability to embody an external object as part of their own representation, without any modulation to decrease this embodiment. Moreover, a second group would be necessary, in which the embodiment over the virtual arm would be diminished using self-perception modulations. Finally, we would look for (i) molecular markers for the basal differences in the embodiment of the virtual arm in all participants; and (ii) molecular markers for the embodiment differences between groups with and without manipulation of self-perception, as a result of the manipulations that were applied to the virtual arm with the intention to reduce the embodiment over it. Furthermore, these embodiment differences could be assessed by explicit measures like self-reports or implicit techniques like brain activation pattern changes (Ehrsson et al., 2005; Petkova et al., 2011). Indubitably, we are aware that this kind of experiment would require a large number of subjects to have a significant quantity of data for each of the groups. Furthermore, we suggest that these studies could try to manipulate the sensory input and feedback in neuropathological conditions known to alter embodiment and to compare them to healthy controls.
Moreover, self-perception in healthy subjects could be altered in a way that resembles a specific neurological disorder. In this context, the use of -omic techniques to study the molecular profile of embodiment would benefit in understanding the effect of manipulations on the bodily self-representation. Additionally, it has been shown that the hormone oxytocin can modulate judgment over self-owned vs. other-owned objects (Wu et al., 2013). Therefore, we suggest to use the already proposed experiment combined with its treatment to improve sense of ownership and agency over the virtual arm. In this context, considering the virtual arm could be felt as an external object that is included into the self-representation. Therefore, the treatment with hormones like oxytocin should improve embodiment over these external objects. In addition, oxytocin treatments have been shown to alter the activity of specific brain areas using fMRI (Bethlehem et al., 2013). Finally, -omic techniques should help to assess the specific molecular changes in ownership and agency that are related to the neural changes after the administration of the hormone.
In conclusion, the study of self-representation is a growing field in both healthy and clinical populations, due to the alterations that can be observed during pathological or experimental conditions. To this day, the use of imaging approaches is providing a greater insight to the study of embodiment, adding relevant brain activity information to behavioral assays. In addition to these, we propose that molecular profiling of healthy and clinical subjects could offer a new entry point to study embodiment. The combination of state-of-the-art techniques from different scientific fields, such as virtual reality, neuroimaging and -omic methods, is a promising approach to understand self-representation from a systems perspective.

A hundred miles east of Los Angeles lies the desert city of Palm Springs. It has drawn visitors for over a century for its dry heat, laid-back vibe and mountain views. It's a popular retirement destination, a seasonal home for "snowbirds" escaping winter in other parts of North America and an escape from urban life for the residents of Los Angeles.
During the winter months, the city's population triples. This makes February and March a pleasant time to visit although, as in many parts of the world, early 2019 saw more extreme weather than usual! A cold streak and flooding let to highway closures and damage to housing. On the drive from LA to Palm Springs, snow can still be seen on the surrounding mountains.
The landscape during the drive is quite varied, taking you from mountains to desert. Thousands of wind turbines dot the landscape on either side of Highway Ten, just outside Palm Springs. Some are hundreds of feet tall, with wing-spans as long as a football field. They provide a gre...

The Atacama Desert in Chile lies 1000km north of the capital Santiago. It's a two hour flight to Calama then a 90 minute bus trip to the tourist town of San Pedro de Atacama. It is the driest place on earth, the local joke being that the weather forecast is: no rain for the next 200 years. To the east it is bounded by the cordillera – the snow-capped Andes which separate Chile from Bolivia and Argentina.
Most sites can be reached on dirt roads. The easiest trip is to Salar de Atacama, a vast salt lake where flamingos feast on brine shrimp. Lizards and water birds abound.
Mars Valley is an easy hike through sand dunes to a sand-boarding area. The desert lies at 2,500 metres above sea level, so to become acclimatised to the altitude these are good first up trips. The strong wind whips sand into every part of your clothing.
At 3,500 metres are the thermal pools, which can be reached by bus or by hiking through a shady canyon bordered by lone cactuses and old Indian stone corrals for llamas.
The High Line has become one of New York's key tourist attractions, and very popular with the locals too. A disused and abandoned railtrack was transformed by urban designers into a public walkway, outdoor art gallery and "elevated park" thirty feet above the streets of Manhattan.
The High Line runs 1.45 miles (2.33 km) from the Meatpacking District on the Lower West Side through to Chelsea in Midtown.
As well as a great view of the NYC skyline, there is art to see along the way.
Plenty of greenery is on view, with more than 500 varieties of trees, grasses and flowers planted.
Benches every few steps provide respite from all the walking.
Some residents take the opportunity to make statements, political or otherwise, visible to the passers-by...
The High Line is an escape from the traffic and urban hustle and bustle of New York. But not too much of an escape - with over 8 million visitors annually, you are guaranteed not to be alone up there!

The La Guajira peninsula is the northern most tip of the South American continent shared between Colombia and Venezuela - a thin strip of arid desert straddling the two countries and jutting out into the Caribbean Sea. The peninsula boasts more than 350 kilometres of uninhabited windswept coastline, hours of open red sand desert expanses, colonies of cactus populations and remote indigenous communities and fishing villages. It is a paradoxical place, reminding me of the beauty of outback Australia but the poverty of rural Africa – somewhere both stunning beautiful and devastatingly poor.

It's that time of year when social media newsfeeds are taken over by images of European summer: scooters, beaches, Aperol spritz and antipasti platters. So instead of letting my mouth water one moment longer, I decided to do something productive with my nostalgia, and reflect back on a wonderful trip to Italy my fiancé and I had in August last year.
The little mountain village of Champoluc, nestled in the Ayas Valley (Val d'Ayas) in the region of Aosta in northern Italy, is just two hours' drive north west of Milan. The town is only home to around 500 locals but this number swells to more than triple during the winter ski season. We visited in the 'off season', swapping the snow and skis for long hikes through endless mountain trails, fields of wildflowers, dinging goat bells and around turquoise glacial lakes. By the time we arrived in the last week of August, autumn was peeping its head around the corner, the summer holiday crowds were heading back home, and we felt as if we virtually...
When Dad announced that he wanted us to join him on a family road trip at the end of the year, my brothers and I thought he must want to drive from the west to east coast of Australia across the Nullarbor Plain. Surprisingly though, he had a much more adventurous idea… flash forward 12 months and we were touching down in Lhasa, Tibet to begin our 800km road trip on the Friendship Highway to the border with Nepal.
The Friendship Highway is one of the highest roads in the world, with sections of the route peaking at over 5000 metres above sea level. Starting in Lhasa, the road winds west through Tibet before hitting the Himalayas and the Nepali border. At 3656 metres above sea level, and with subzero temperatures in the middle of winter, Lhasa is one of the highest cities in the world. It is the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region in China and was home to the Dalai Lama until he was forced to flee in the late 1950s following the Chinese takeover of Tibet.

Waking up to the sunrise over the pyramids of Meroe in Sudan is one of the most magical experiences I've had in all my travels to date. Unzipping the tent at the crack of dawn, and walking out across the rippled red desert, we perched atop a sand dune and watched in awe as the pyramid faces gradually changed colour as the sun began to peak over the horizon.

The Pyramids of Meroe are a collection of around 200 Nubian pyramids built more than 2000 years ago, which - although less impressive in size than the pyramids found in neighbouring Egypt - are nonetheless the largest collection of Nubian pyramids in the world. Nestled in the red desert about 100km north of Sudan's capital Khartoum, the pyramids, a UNESCO world heritage site, can be visited in an overnight trip from the capital. The adventure to the pyramids can be combined with a half day trip to a collection of ancient tombs...
Springtime in Japan brings the fleeting season of 'sakura' (cherry blossoms), a major annual event that has been celebrated here for centuries. Shops and stores sell sweets, drinks and dumplings flavoured with the blossoms
The flowers are in bloom for only a week or so and then start to fall, blanketing Tokyo in a blizzard of pink. They symbolise the impermanence of life - and the importance to fully appreciate its passing moments.
"Flower appreciation picnics" take place underneath the cherry trees in Tokyo's parks and along its canal sides. In some parks the trees are lit with lanterns for viewing after dark.
It is all very beautiful, but allergy-sufferers beware! Up to a quarter of the population suffer from hay fever at this time of year, and the visitor may want to pack some medication just in case.

When one steps first outside the airport in Brunei Darussalam, two things hit you in the face. There's the humidity of course, which immediately wraps around your skin like cling film, and then there is the large tourism signs which proudly boast that you have arrived in The Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures.
Prior to visiting Brunei, you'll probably experience a conversation like this:
"I'm going on holiday to Brunei!" "Where? You mean Bahrain, or Bhutan?" "No Brunei, its a small country on the island of Borneo" For a handful of people, the island of Borneo will be enough of a geographic reference to feign knowledge of Brunei. But for most, eyes have glazed over, interest is lost, you're talking a foreign language. Therefore you may be correct to wonder which "unexpected treasures" await in this so called "Kingdom" that you have probably never heard of.

I've been in Tokyo for four weeks now. Generally weather has been mild since arrival, a jacket barely required on some days and even sunny at times. But on the Monday after I arrived was an unexpectedly severe blizzard. More than 20cm of snow dumped onto the city over the course of the day. It was the most seen in over 4 years and brought chaos with it. On the roads police were pushing cars out of snowdrifts and traffic was at a crawl or standstill everywhere else. I'm sure the media were advising everyone to stay indoors.
Unwisely I decided to honour my dinner reservation at a restaurant, a fair distance from where I was staying. When I finally got there I was the only diner. Guess everyone else had either cancelled or set out and never made it. The chef gave me an extra course on the house and the manager gifted me his umbrella when I left, no doubt concealing his amazement at my stupidity in not havi...


A rehabilitation clinic is always a health care capability intended to help in healing from various criteria. Patients can visit an actual center for rehabilitation with regard to cure a severe or perhaps chronic damage or as a way to deal with addiction so as to alcohol and drugs. Healthcare clinics can be confidential or public facilities, and usually employ medically completely trained personnel to help out in addressing the of the patients. Those types patients suffering from happenings that have caused piece mobility or serious body loss can attend a fabulous rehabilitation geared to emotional therapy. Their time present in the clinic can happen to be used up with chiropractors, physical therapists, or disciples of substitute medicines appreciate acupuncture. Physical therapy therapy can be done inside outpatient or inpatient basis, which allow patients you can go on with the availability of lives everyday with none of interruption.
Rehabilitation centers targeted on fighting drug or alcohol addiction tend to goal on an inpatient basis. Patients can be ordered by court for rehabilitation, be checked into involuntarily if minors or under respective conditions, or perfectly select to go willingly to react their addictions. Softwares at alcohol perhaps drug centers can certainly differ greatly back methods, but the most suggested break in the rehab centers for need is typically twenty-eight days.
There are a few government-owned treatment centers, but specific rehabilitation clinics are also somewhat popular. These centers include strict privacy and thus anonymity, and you cater to various wealthy or selected celebrity patients. Runs for private treatment clinics may be very high, yet , a lot on them provide each selection of advantage services such considering that five-star food actually spa healing, which actually may help people to feel that they are simply having a next vacation while treating specific addiction. For those patients with moola problems, various techniques may offer investment aid to potential patients. They attain to contact the center or city health authorities to ask information involving some available cheap programs applicable on the way to them. Government-owned centers or rehabilitation facilities run by nonprofit organization can offer bigger aid to persons who are money wise needy and they are willing to extend their help.
Patients will probably gain access to a number of these transition as well as outpatient plans run simply the center after the businesses complete any rehabilitation program in which the facility. These can contain continued offering their advice to or abc group meetings. In spite of it has become anticipated that patients individuals who have basically finished the rehabilitation program may very well be competent near monitoring its individual progress, excellent rehabilitation centers will provide clients a significant variety because of means to carry towards with generally program when you are done they add the area.

Speak And Listen To Your Kids - No Words Required.
In 1989 my parents made a VHS recording of Into the Woods when the B'way show aired on PBS. That tape must have been made of strong stuff since I probably watched it 100 times. I knew all the words, made up secret handshakes with my best friend to the Sondheim lyrics and dressed as Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween for 3 consecutive years, totally inspired by that show.
"Listening" is one of those words that actors and acting teachers care a great deal about. When we really listen instead of planning what we are going to do on stage or in front of the camera, we can have authentic reactions. Why is it so hard to do this? Possibly because we don't actually listen enough in our real life?
And now I find myself going about my day "half-listening" to my 4-year-old son since his jabberings are a seemingly endless stream-of-conscious about oceanic creatures and fantasy conversations or hiding places for his toys and I'm expected to weigh in from time to time, but I don't sometimes get it….
So what if we take words out of the equation. Can we listen to our kids, without language? Can we create a meaningful and intimate conversation where we are giving and receiving information but no words are exchanged? Where listening is with our body and our heart? Where talking is through gesture and emotion?
I want Nathaniel to know that I hear him – to feel like I get what he is giving me. And in turn I know that he will listen, like the lyrics say. So what can I give him to listen to that is simple, truthful and filled with love?
Mirrors are portals to the fantasy world – as in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. They can also be portentous instruments of information as in Snow White or Beauty and the Beast. It isn't hard to convince your child to play a Magical Mirror game.
Explain to your child that they get to do whatever they like and the Mirror (you) will follow them. The goal is not to leave the mirror behind so you have to go really slowly – slower than you normally would to do an activity.
I'd love to hear about your experience playing Magic Mirror – so chime in below and tell us how you did it!
Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you next time on Child's Play in Action.

Wounded Knee And The Bloody Birth Of Empire
Wounded Knee, December 29th, 1890 is full of meaning. Not just for the Miniconjou and Hunkpapa Lakota who were victims and perished in their hundreds, but for the course of imperial America. Its violence an echo of the violence that was the settlement of this country. The expropriation of the land from Native Americans necessarily involved a genocidal struggle, something evident very early in the history of Europeans on this continent. That genocidal war was also bound up with an economy based on private property and in irreconcilable conflict with the economy of native peoples. The Dawes Act of 1887 makes perfectly clear that the struggle against native peoples was also a struggle against native notions of collective property. And look how the land itself reels from that war!
Fly over the country today and you'll see division imposed upon the land; plots neatly parceled (and at odds with their terrain, with nature) in the interest of sale and of tax. This pattern emerged 100 years before the Dawes Act in the Northwest Ordinance's township and range system. The way even the land was mapped being determined by the dictates of private property. The Revolution meant the expansion of settlement, first into the Ohio River Valley, and expansion meant the commodification of land; speculation in becoming the source of great fortunes in the early 'Republic'. For the gentleman farmers of Jefferson's generation and after, native land use was simply a waste of resources, the exploitation of which they hungered for themselves. From the air private property is clearly visible, from the ground fences frame the story.
The settlement of the Americas was accomplished with as much racism as the slave trade, indeed it can be said to be a source of modern racism. The history of capitalism is entwined with racism and none were the greater recipients of its poison than native Americans. Yet, it would not be the first time that a race war was waged over property, nor the last. It is necessary to dehumanize those you would do to the likes of which you would never tolerate being done to. 'Primitive accumulations' are an ongoing, not historical, mode of capitalist appropriation. They didn't end at Wounded Knee. It happens now in India, in Indonesia and in Ecuador to name but a few. It was seen in the conversion of the formerly state properties of the East into private hands. It can be found even in the most developed of capitalist economies today; anywhere where sovereignty over land, labor and resources is wrenched from one group or class to another. Where economies are brought forcefully into the market. The closing of the west made gorily real on this day 120 years ago by that bitterly cold Dakota creek signaled the entrance of the United States into international struggle for markets and influence. It is a bloody marker denoting the birth of an empire.
The Seventh Cavalry responsible for the massacre was Custer's old troop, formed in 1866 with the expressed purpose of pacifying native resistance in the West. A few short years after Wounded Knee, where 17 men were awarded the Medal of Honor, would see the Seventh in the Philippines putting down a different native rebellion, accompanied by more Medals of Honor. The great wealth amassed from a continental appropriation would now be exported, in the name of democracy, in a manner as rapacious as the violation of the Americas, also under the name of democracy. Today, the whole world lives in the shadow of Wounded Knee.
I have been to the mass grave on the Pine Ridge Reservation, the colored ribbons tied to the surrounding fence snapping in the wind coming off the plains. It is a terribly sad place, a place befitting the terribleness it holds. In my mind the site is this country's most important monument. Their grave holds not just the remains of the dead, but the reality, the horrible reality of the meaning of America; its birth, its growth, its present.
What would justice, genuine justice, be to the native peoples of this continent? From my perspective as the descendant of some of those settlers and citizen of the state that now strides this land whose birthright was dependent on the historic denial of another's, the only justice possible is a death sentence on the Empire, whose epitaph will surely contain the words 'Wounded Knee', as well as a restoration of collective ownership. An irrevocable removal of those fences, those divisions that the geometry of capitalist expansion knifed into a blood-stained earth.
Wounded Knee: Never Forget, Never Forgive.
