Review - Ten Minutes to Relax
by Paul Overman
Sound Ideas, 2003
Review by Christian Perring, Ph.D.
Feb 8th 2005 (Volume 9, Issue 6)
Paul Overman, co-author of another relaxation CD The Ultimate Brain, provides this guided imagery CD to help listeners to relax. The first journey places the listener in a forest with old trees, with the haunting sound of a flute in the background. He launches straight into this, without any explanation, which I think is preferable to spelling it all out, since it is pretty obvious what is going on. He tells you to imagine yourself as tall as the great tree and rooted to the ground, refreshed by the rain. He tells you to be open to new possibilities and grounded to the earth. The next guided imagery piece takes you to a moonlit garden, and the one after that tries to get you to imagine the space outside your body, and the boundaries between yourself and the rest of the world becoming permeable. There are six exercises on the spoken word CD, and the rest involve a mountain, spring waters, and the sun.
I have reviewed quite a number of relaxation books and audio-recordings over the years, but my back is just as knotted with tension as ever. The paradox of guided imagery recordings is that the people who most need to relax are the ones who are the least likely to benefit from them. I have a highly critical point of view, and guided imagery tends to make me giggle because I find it silly. I rarely find it particularly effective. However, I can report that this recording did at least send me to sleep when I first listened to it. Overman has a good voice for this sort of work, although I confess that the second time I tried listening to the CD, I reverted to my giggle response, and I had to suppress the urge to repeat his words in a cartoon character voice.
I suspect that one of the factors that made this CD rather more effective than others was the flute music in the "Mind Suite" by Jorge Alfano, which is less banal than the other supposedly relaxing music on the CD. Unfortunately, the keyboard and harp on the rest of the CD are far more generic. The second CD of this 2CD set is devoted to the music, and some listeners may find it just as helpful as the guided imagery.
I will return to my search for an effective relaxation method, but it is possible that some people will find these guided imagery exercises worthwhile.

Increasing iWorker engagement is a critical challenge for executives who want to lead their organisations to greater productivity and continued success. But the global workforce is being reshaped by the infusion of new and younger employees. And this means that attracting, engaging and retaining top talent requires new and different strategies.
At the same time, the global workforce is growing younger — by 2025, three out of four workers will be from the Millennial generation.2 How do we attract new and better engage all our employees What is it they're looking for in a company or work environment?
Shifts in how organisations optimise their workforce may have begun with the downturn in the global economy, but now they're being driven by dramatic changes in technology (cloud, mobile, Big Data, etc.) and user behaviour (both inside and outside the organisation). And rather than reversing as the economy improves, these trends will continue to evolve and impact the way we do business.
In fact, innovation focused solely on technology has been challenging employees and business' capacity to change for some time. Digital technology is advancing at an exponential rate while people and business processes adapt in a more linear fashion. This is one reason organisations struggle to cope with increasingly complex, technological 'solutions' and take a long time to tap their full potential.
Combined, these trends represent a critical juncture — namely, in how information flows through the enterprise and, more importantly, how it can be put to productive use. If you are to be successful moving forward, optimising information processes will need even greater attention.
They rely more significantly on experiential knowledge than on static information acquired through research.
We believe smart managers can capitalise on these differences in pursuit of two fundamental business objectives. First, to help design and adopt more effective information processes. And second, to foster a more innovative organisational culture that attracts and retains top talent.
Properly encouraged and supported, Millennial input can help you build more productive information processes — processes that help employees, say, serve customers more effectively. This not only yields benefits for specific functions or lines of business, but also helps the organisation as a whole by engaging topperforming employees more deeply and positively.
Tapping the "hidden talent" of Millennials to help optimise business processes acknowledges the genuine complexity of successful technological innovation – the people component and the broader business context. Innovation requires an approach in which the development of new technology is firmly grounded within the context of people who are supposed to us it and the business from the start to finish. Too often, the human context for the latest technology innovation is added as an afterthought.
Engaging and attracting top talent, particularly the analytical talent, you will need to make your organisation more productive and competitive, will continue to be a challenge. More diligently enlisting Millennials to help with designing and implementing better information processes provides twofold benefits: It makes your processes — and, by extension, your business — more innovative and effective; and this, in turn, makes you more attractive to emerging talent.

Александр Алексеевич Фролов-Багреев  (1785 — 11 сентября 1845) — действительный тайный советник, сенатор, в 1818—1824 годах — черниговский губернатор.

Биография
Сын бригадира Алексея Петровича Фролова-Багреева от брака с Аграфеной Павловной, сестрой канцлера В. П. Кочубея, который помог племяннику удачно сделать карьеру.

Образование получил в самом престижном столичном пансионе, который держал аббат Николь. В службу вступил 7 февраля 1797 года юнкером в Коллегию иностранных дел; в 1802 году был причислен к берлинской миссии, в 1806 году определён по собственному желанию в земское войско к главнокомандующему князю Александру Прозоровскому, и занимался при нём делами ополчения.

В 1807 году был снова причислен к посольству в Пруссии, с оставлением при главнокомандующем Молдавской армии, для занятий по дипломатической части; находясь при армии во время всей задунайской кампании до заключения мира с Портой, был в 1811 году награждён орденом Владимира 3-й степени, а в 1812 года произведён в действительные статские советники.

В Отечественную войну находился в 1812 году при главнокомандующем западной армии адмирале Павле Чичагове; в 1813 году состоял при князе Михаиле Барклай-де-Толли, потом, до заключения первого Парижского мира, при австрийском генерал-фельдмаршале князе Карле Шварценберге. При втором вступлении русских войск во Францию (1815) и до заключения второго Парижского трактата находился при министре русской армии, генерал-губернаторе Алопеусе по управлению французскими департаментами, занятыми русскими войсками.

По возвращении армии в Россию состоял при коллегии иностранных дел, в 1818 году был назначен черниговским гражданским губернатором, но уже в 1824 году по прошению уволен с этой должности и определён членом совета министра финансов, а в 1826 году управляющим Государственным заёмным банком. 21 апреля 1834 года ему было повелено присутствовать в Правительствующем Сенате. По словам А. В. Кочубея:

В браке с писательницей Елизаветой Сперанской (1799—1857), единственной дочерью графа Михаила Сперанского, имел сына Михаила (1822—1844; ротмистр, погиб на Кавказе на дуэли) и дочь Марию (1826—1887), которая унаследовала от родителей имение Великая Буромка. Её сын — князь Михаил Кантакузен, автор сочинений по международному праву.

With their inspiration from rock and folk and an occasionally generous heaping of hip hop, the Tommy Roberts consistently explores outside of the comfort zone of standard folk rock acts. Cleary is a maestro on lead guitar, and Cutshall plays the harmonica with gusto and delicate expertise.
The new album opens with the deceptively bouncy "Way to Go," a song featuring Cutshall on harmonica and lamenting the loss of love named Sally. From the start, the band exhibits effortlessly meticulous vocal harmonies, bringing a pronounced palpability to every note.
On "The Moon," the pair proceeds with a psychedelic-folk-rap sound, and seamlessly shifts ahead to "Ladybug Love Song." While serenading a coccinellidae with a classic country style, the musicians are stalwart in their endeavor to never take themselves too seriously.
"Our goal is to make everybody feel good and inspired and touched,"Cutshall said.
The band's blend of dual tenor vocals is beyond reminiscent of the classical style of Everly Brothers, with a often delicate grassroots twang.
Southern blues-rock inspires tracks like "Fishin' for Pearls," an ode to lazy summer afternoons hanging at a local watering hole.
The Tommy Roberts never clobbers the audience over the head with overproduction or distraction from the main themes. The album, produced and mixed by local music luminaries Noah Figlin and Mark Ross, is a bare-bones beauty with no frills and a lot of soul.
The collaborative creative effort of Cutshall and Cleary is the central nervous system of the Tommy Roberts.
Beyond their solid debut effort, the Tommy Roberts can be experienced live throughout Pennsylvania. The pair's quick rise from obscurity to local celebrity has helped them book more than 125 shows this year alone, including in New York and Philadelphia.

Why Are The Creepy Simpsons Predictions Coming True?
unlistidCuriosity, death, triggereddeath, predictions, simpsons, theoryLeave a comment
The Simpsons TV show is so creepy to me. I don't watch it because it's like watching the future. For some reason, all the major things that happen on that show, happens in real life. What is that? Whoever controls that show must be a god or the devil himself. How are all of those predictions possible and how are they coming true. What's so crazy is that these predictions are from the 90's and 2000's. They predicted the corona virus 27 years ago and look at this mess now. They have predicted Trump win, Tom hanks getting corona, Ebola, Horse meat, 9/11, Prince death, etc. Freaky right.
Either something nonhuman is going on or someone is making all these predictions come true. They had Trump in the casket dying on one episode! This is insane and people know it. There have been many people commenting, wanting the prediction of Trump dying to come true. That is weird but he angered those people soooo… There are even speculations that "The Simpsons" predicted Kobe Bryant death. Who knows what else is on there because they have about 100 seasons. There are too many episodes. I still wanna know how is this possible. There needs to be an updated video with the producer.
I have a theory about this and it could sound crazy or it could be a good theory. My theory is that the Government owns that show and they write what's gonna happen over time. (I just busted out laughing writing that) It's funny and scary because you never know. What if they want so much to happen but they have to wait a while so that it doesn't become so noticeable. There was already theories, videos and proof that America caused 9/11 anyways so who says they can't do this. I think the show "handmaids" messed me up. Great show by the way, if you haven't seen it.
They need to remove The Simpsons show from everywhere. It's too creepy and you end up going crazy like me. The fact that these predictions were made 20+ years ago is fucking with my head. That is creeping me out the most. How would they know any of this? Even prince was talking about population control before his death. The 9/11 prediction is too creepy. There was a magazine with $9 on it an the two twin buildings on it and it said New York on the cover. Like…how..just how. I feel like it's worse for celebrities because producers put them in random acts in the show and then something comes true or you die. I will never watch that show, mainly because I don't care of it but also because it's creepy.

I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating
Foam / Sep 11 – Dec 6, 2020

Magnum photographer Alec Soth (1969) has become known as the chronicler of life at the American margins of the United States. He made a name as a photographer with his 2004 series Sleeping by the Mississippi, encountering unusual and often overlooked places and people as he travelled along the river banks. A major retrospective in 2015 was followed by a period of seclusion and introspection, during which Soth did not travel and barely photographed. His most recent project, I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating, is the result of this personal search, and marks a departure from Soth's earlier work. The photographer slowed down his work process and turned the lens inward. Foam presents the first museum exhibition of his new series, consisting of portraits of remarkable people in their habitat, and still-lifes of their personal belongings.

Starting point was a portrait Soth made in 2017 of the then 97 year old choreographer Anna Halprin in her home in California. The interaction with this exceptional woman in her most intimate surroundings meant a breakthrough for Soth. Instead of focusing on a place, a community or demography, he concentrated on individuals and their private settings. Unlike many of Soth's previous visual narratives, the choice of geographical location was not preconceived, but the result of a series of chance encounters.
The sometimes desperate desire for human contact, or lack thereof, is a theme that runs throughout Soth's work. In an attempt to approach his subjects, Soth worked at the sitters' homes with a slow large format camera, almost exclusively using natural light. This laborious approach to photography is time consuming and requires the subject to remain still in the presence of the photographer for extended periods. In addition to spending time, Soth used space as another way to overcome (or emphasize) the distance that inevitably exists between photographer and photographed. While windows and doors create a sense of detachment in the photographs, they simultaneously mark a point of entry from the outer to the inner world. The result is an intimate and often contemplative image; a photograph like a day dream.

Soth's photographs have been compared with poetry. His photo series lack a clear linear narrative. Through omission and suggestion, ample room is left to the imagination. The series title I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating is derived from the 1917 poem The Gray Room by Wallace Stevens, in which subtle and superficial observations lead one to suspect fiery emotions below the surface. As in Stevens's poem, Soth's portraits and still-lifes suggest an inner life that is as rich as it is unreachable.

Soth has published several monographs including Looking for Love (2012), Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), NIAGARA (2006), Dog Days, Bogotá (2007), Paris/Minnesota (2007), Last Days of W (2008), Broken Manual (2010), From Here to There (2010), La Belle Dame Sans Merci (2011), Songbook (2015), and Gathered Leaves (2015). His most recently published work is I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating (2019, MACK Books). In 2008 Soth launched Little Brown Mushroom: a multi-media enterprise focused on visual storytelling.
Soth has received several distinctions and fellowships, including the Infinity Award of the International Center of Photography in 2011 and the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2013. He is a member of Magnum Photos and is represented by Sean Kelly in New York, Weinstein Hammons Gallery in Minneapolis, Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco and Loock Galerie in Berlin.
All works in the exhibition are on loan from Loock Galerie, Berlin.

Our goal is to create great living and working environments that bring pleasure and harmony to our clients, their families and friends and in workplaces to our clients' staff and their customers. To achieve this goal, we believe in collaboration - working first with our clients and their vision and their property and then with nature, our consultants, regulators, suppliers and contractors. Our projects begin as a puzzle of many pieces. Our process is the key to finding the best solution to each particular puzzle. Solving these puzzles is our passion.
Whether through the web, a referral or other contact, we begin typically with a phone call to gather basic information about the client and project and then we usually schedule a meeting. At that meeting we pose a series of questions and listen intently so we can fix the scope of work, understand the client's expectations and outline a process tailored to the specific project. The primary goal in this step is for everyone to get comfortable with one another, the project and the process. The second goal is to develop a program.
At its core, the Architect to Client relationship is a business arrangement whereby the Architect's education, experience, knowledge and talent are harnessed to serve the client and their project. The proposal is the document that lays out the work, its phases, timing and costs. And critically, it sets expectations based on what is known and the inevitable unknowns.
If the project involves an existing structure, the work begins with a survey of it so we have an accurate understanding of existing conditions. Some projects are sufficiently undefined and require a feasibility study to tighten up the program and determine options so a direction forward can be established. For the bulk of projects, the work begins with design of floor plans illustrating major spaces, their adjacencies, circulation, and relationship to fixed elements like the sun, good and bad views, parking, common spaces, and more. The phase is interactive, collaborative and often involves several meetings. This phase demands some heavy cognitive lifting to visualize and understand the complexities of yet to be built space. Depending on the size and scope of the project this phase may have several subphases.
This aptly named phase is where general ideas begin to converge towards a detailed understanding of the look, the feel and the life of the project's spaces. The plan and elevations will be fixed and communicated as will some notion of materials, colors, textures, construction type and more. It will yield a recognition of the interdependencies of design (the creative) with construction (the practical.) At this point we often begin the Interior Design Process selecting finishes, fixtures, furniture, lighting and more.
Steps 1 – 4 culminate in an approved design which has been studied and communicated. Construction Documentation is the process of layering on details and specifications to provide sufficient information for bidding, to obtain building permits and guide construction. This may include the work of consulting engineers. There is a mountain of information, complexities, interdependencies and interferences that must be considered, managed and documented.
Every project is a prototype and depending on the size and complexity will require support once construction documents are released to contractors, vendors, and regulatory authorities. These may take the form of Requests for Information, clarifications, submittal reviews, site visits to inspect work, discuss and verify design intent, approve payment requests and more. It may also include work to redesign as the design takes on three dimensional reality.
What services do Architects provide and do I need an architect?
Architects are trained to see the big picture. Not just any architect but OMNIA Group Architects! After many years of intense studies and many sleepless nights It ain't easy being an architect and lots of professional liability insurance, we help you explore your plan. See STEPS 1 THROUGH 6. OMNIA's team will help coordinate design, engineering and construction professionals as they sort through the maze of building codes and zoning requirements, essentially providing design leadership so that your project is built as intended. Architects provide important pre-design services including site evaluation, and can help you explore options you may not have considered. Involving an architect early in the process can help avoid costly missteps, and increase the likelihood of your satisfaction with the project.
We have an idea of what we want. Can you simply redraw our plan to get a permit?
Most homeowners have an idea for a design solution. However, our expertise will avoid mistakes and create opportunities for improvement upon the initial concept. Our insight will go beyond simply 'redrawing' a plan. A well thought out, thorough design solution will lead to a buildable, economical and exciting finished product.
How are architects compensated and do they add substantial costs?
Fairly! Our compensation is based on a fixed fee. An architect can actually save you money by monitoring your budget, negotiating your sustainable and functional materials and workmanship, reducing energy and maintenance costs and providing efficiency in creating your buildable project.
Can you estimate Construction Costs?
Construction costs begin at approximately $125 per SF on up! It all depends on your choice of workmanship and materials.
How long does the process take before we can submit for building permits?
Typically, four to six weeks. More for larger complex additions.
Do we need to hire a site engineer prior to starting a project?
A site engineer is sometimes required to provide existing conditions with regards to building setback locations. An owner provided plot plan / deed description may replace the need for an official site survey.
Are mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings provided?
A code based electrical layout is provided. (Owner's specific items can be incorporated) HVAC and plumbing plans are typically provided by the contractor.
Do you provide specific interior finish material selections?
Interior design services are provided as an additional service beyond the base fee for additional design and permit drawings.
Will a structural engineer be required?
Most additions will not require an outside structural engineer. If a unique condition does arise, and a structural engineer is required, the owner will be notified and a proposal will be provided prior to engagement of the engineer.

UK climate protest: Student walk out inspired by Greta Thunberg
By Isabelle Gerretsen and Tara John, for CNN
Updated 9:34 AM EST, Fri February 15, 2019
More than 10,000 people took part in protests across the UK
The strikes were inspired by Swedish teenager who has berated world leaders for climate inaction
"There is the need for urgent and radical climate action," organizers told CNN
(CNN) Thousands of school students walked out of classrooms across the UK on Friday to join a national climate change protest.
The protest, called Youth Strike 4 Climate, took place in more than 60 British cities and towns from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.
Waving banners which read "if you do not act as adults, we will" and "the dinosaurs thought they had time too", thousands of students gathered in front of the Houses of Parliament in London.
The aim of the strike was to raise awareness of the growing threats of climate change and urge the UK government to declare a climate emergency, organizers of the protest told CNN.
Jake Woodier of the UK Youth Climate Coalition, who helped coordinate the strikes, said that more than 10,000 people across the UK took part in the protests.
How teenage girls defied skeptics to build a new global climate movement
"I think the key message out of it is young people and students are demonstrating to those in power that there is the need for urgent and radical climate action," he told CNN.
Read: What is climate change? Your questions answered
17-year-old Sophie Sleeman, who helped organize a strike in Exeter, Devon, told CNN that her school told her to call off the strike, but that she went ahead as she believes "the education system, the media and government aren't doing enough to tackle climate change or portray its severity to us."
"I am feeling an incredible sense of solidarity with everyone protesting. I feel like I am implementing change," she said, adding that more than a 1,000 people took part in the Exeter march.
Ann Pettifor, who in 2008 co-authored the Green New Deal, a 10-year plan to phase out fossil fuels recently unveiled by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, attended the strike in London with her seven-year-old grandson.
"These children are going to grow up into radical adults demanding and probably implementing change. We can't underestimate what an impact a demonstration like this has on young people," Pettifor told CNN.
"We urgently need to get the adults as angry as the young people are. Wildfires, floods and destruction of the environment seems to be the only thing that stirs people and that is a very big problem," she added.
Read: Fighting climate change may be easier than we think
The UK strikes are the latest student-led protests against climate inaction.
Inspired by teenager Greta Thunberg's weekly sit-ins outside the Swedish parliament to raise awareness of the crisis, school students in Europe, Australia and the United States have held climate strikes.
The strikes come in the wake of a UN report which warns that unprecedented global action is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
16-year-old Thunberg took the world by storm when she berated world leaders at the UN climate summit and billionaires at Davos for their insufficient efforts to curb emissions in line with goals set out under the 2015 Paris Agreement.
"I told them that they belong to that group of people who are most responsible and that the future of humankind rests in their hands, and they didn't know how to react," Thunberg told CNN after she addressed Davos elite, including Bono and former Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn.
A global school walkout, involving students from more than 40 countries, is planned for March 15.

This study, funded by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Kathleen Cuningham Research Grant (2005-2008), brought an innovative multidisciplinary perspective to the challenge of overcoming the barriers to mammography screening experienced by Australian women with disabilities.
BreastScreen NSW endorsed this research project and cooperated with the researchers to ensure the service was widely accessible
Blending the methodological insights from the health and social sciences with oral history, the study aimed to determine the nature of the barriers for women with disabilities participating in mammography screening and to design strategies for overcoming them.
Phase 1: Determining women's experiences of mammography screening
In the first phase the project conducted in-depth interviews to understand the breast screening experiences of women with disabilities. Seventy-five women, aged between 50-69yrs were interviewed. Themes addressed in the interviews included the nature of physical barriers produced by the built environment; the impact of having complex or different communication needs; women's familial and social networks and how these influenced health care; education, employment and residential histories; and interactions with and attitudes to health care providers.
Phase 2: Radiographic staff responses to the women's data
Barriers to and facilitators of participation raised by the women were presented to radiography and administrative staff from BreastScreen NSW who were bought together in six focus groups. In these focus groups, radiographers were given the opportunity to explore their own experience of these issues; to share difficulties encountered and solutions devised in a collegial and professional setting.
Phase 3: In situ analyses of the screening environment
The third phase was the point at which the ideas and solutions proposed by the first two phases were assessed. Using in situ analysis, women from Phase 1 were invited to attend an individualised mammographic screening session through BreastScreen NSW. Each participant was accompanied by qualified research team member in order to analyse the nature and extent of the barriers in the screening environment.
Support for the widespread implementation of the Decision Tool among GPs and disability support services.
Appointment of an Advisory Committee of women with disabilities.
Accessibility audit of all screening units, including parking, toilets and external access ways.
The production of accessible informational and promotional material relevant for all women with disabilities.
Inclusion of "disability accessibility and awareness" as a category for assessment in the accreditation guidelines.
Establishment of a Disability complaint/info line.
At least one wheelchair accessible mammography machine in each screening service.
At least one staff member disability awareness training in each screening unit.
Including women with disabilities in curriculum development.
Appointment of a Disability Advisory Officer to provide tailored training for all staff and advice on a service-wide basis.

Happy Halloween guys! I just thought I would share some inspirational art history inspired halloween costumes with all of you. Some them look simple to replicate too, so this might be a good last minute idea for you escapades tonight! I hope y'all have a great night and lots of candy! And thanks for reading my little blog!


Year 2 is a super year group and even though there will be challenges along the way there are many exciting opportunities and events planned! Starting with Wriggles!
The teachers are Miss Williams (Foxglove) and Miss Fitzpatrick (Sunflower). We also have lots of support for both classes from Mrs Avagnano!
This term we are learning all about animals and their habitats in our fantastic topic called shelved, please read the curriculum flyer for more detail.


We have been selling and installing car alarms and vehicle security systems for nearly forty years. We'll get your vehicle protected and help you save money on your insurance premiums in the process.
While many new vehicles come with built-in safety features, there are still advantages to buying and installing a third party alarm system in your car. While auto thefts continue to increase, most victims of vehicle theft think that just because they have a keyless entry system, they're protected. But the truth is, they're not.
A basic key-less entry system will possibly sound the horn when the door is opened, but they do not offer any other protection to prevent a vehicle from being stolen or broken into. Auto thieves have worked their way around key-less entry systems. That's where a high-quality car alarm system comes in.
Today, most new cars do not come with a true form of protection. While keyless entry systems offer some minimal safety, they're not a true car alarm. Factory immobilizers can prevent the car from being driven without the proper key, essentially ending the days of hot-wiring a car for an inexperienced thief, but thieves have come up with ingenious ways of working around this rudimentary safety feature.
Often your car salesman will use this fact to assure you that your vehicle is safe, or they will say that keyless entry is the same as a car alarm. You could take their word for it, but instead, you should conduct a couple of quick tests to determine if the new car you're interested in actually has an alarm system.
Start by locking the car and then tap on the windows. Does this activate the alarm? If it doesn't, you most likely don't have a car alarm. Or try locking the car and then move it up and down, simulating jacking up the vehicle. If the alarm doesn't sound then your car has no tilt sensor and will not sound if the car is towed or jacked up.
A remote start, or keyless entry system uses a key fob and a code to unlock your vehicle without the need for a key. While this is a great safety feature and it does not make stealing your vehicle more difficult, it's not a true car alarm. Today, some vehicles also come equipped with a device that can help locate where your stolen car is, IF your vehicle is equipped and in the range of the locating device. It's usually activated by the dealer and delivers the address of your vehicle to law enforcement. While this is also a great device to recover your vehicle, it's again, not a car alarm system. Once your vehicle is stolen, who knows what kind of damage or vandalism can occur before it is recovered.
A car alarm is an anti-theft device that will trigger a siren and flash your lights whenever someone is tampering with your vehicle. When the alarm is armed, your vehicle is safe due to the starter disable. The thief can't start your car, even if they have the key.
Audible Alarms – Trigger a siren and flash the lights when set off. They can feature sensors that detect when the car is moved or tampered with, and they then set off the alarm.
Silent Alarms – If you don't want your car making noise, you can have an alarm installed without a siren. This will notify you through your mobile device or 2 way key fob depending on the model. If your vehicle is being broken into you will receive a text notification, and you can then notify the police. However, we always recommend a siren be installed.
With any of these alarms, once they are activated the thief cannot start the car, even if they have a key. These types of alarms offer the best protection against car theft.
Alarm systems offer many various options which are reflected in the price. A basic third-party car alarm can cost around $150. As you add options, prices can rise to as much as $600 or more. Consumers can sometimes recoup some of these costs through lower insurance rates. If you're considering the purchase of a car alarm system, speak with your insurance agent to see if any discounts are available. With many different alarm systems available in all different price ranges, buying an alarm is a great value versus higher insurance rates and paying the deductible in the case of a claim.

"Thor: Love and Thunder": How Thor Will Become a Woman
Nigel G Mitchell 7/22/2019 03:45:00 PM Maurice-Mitchell, Movies, Thor, Thor-Love-and-Thunder-2021
At the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel dropped a huge bomb on the crowd when announcing the next slate of movies. It was revealed that Natalie Portman will be taking over the role of Thor from Chris Hemsworth in the next installment, called Thor: Love and Thunder. How is it possible? What was the inspiration for the change? Let's go over all the details.
The last few Marvel movies put Thor through a rough time. His hammer Mjolnir and the world of Asgard were both destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok, most of the surviving Asgardians were killed in the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War, and he gained a ton of weight in Avengers: Endgame. The last we saw him, Thor had joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Many speculated that this was the end of Thor's traditional role, and a few even speculated that Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) would be taking over since she was named ruler of New Asgard. Instead, Natalie Portman (who has played Jane Foster in the series) will take up the hammer. This announcement wasn't as big a surprise as it could have been to comic book fans, because they already went through the initial shock of seeing a female Thor in the comics.
Natalie Portman as Jane Foster (Thor)
During the 2014 "Original Sin" storyline, Thor became unworthy when he realized the Norse gods didn't deserve to be worshipped. He lost the power to wield Mjolnir, but the hammer was soon picked up by another, Jane Foster. While battling cancer, Foster took on the powers and name of the All-New Thor while the Asgardian Thor became known as Odinson. She was the new Thor for several years before sacrificing herself in 2018, and the mantle of Thor went back to Odinson.
It's unknown how much of the All-New Thor storyline will be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's exciting to see how Marvel paved the way for diversity in the comics and is leading the same charge in the movies.
What do you think of the new Thor? Let us know in the comments below!

Rohan Designs: A Photo Bucks Winner
A place with a view. That's what one couple invested in, in their new home. It was quaint and, like those around it, built sometime in the 60s or 70s. What's more, the small 1,000 square foot home hadn't seen any kind of renovation since its walls were first built. With a 70s vibe that relied on fake pressboard and dark wood, the homeowners knew something had to be done to make the home more modern. Their first step was to bring in a contractor who did a major remodel. From removing interior walls to changing up the roofline, the investment was slowly starting to look like a home for the owners.
That's where Larry Rohan, of Rohan Designs, entered the project. Referred to the homeowners from another artisan, Larry was the cabinet designer the homeowners had been searching for. Very hands on, the homeowners had a specific idea in mind as far as what they wanted their cabinets to look like. The only problem was, the homeowners were ahead of their time when it came to the final look of their cabinets.
When Larry and the homeowners first began working together, the woman requested an in-drawer electrical outlet for her kitchen. Having seen a DIY outlet in a drawer online at sites like Pinterest and Houzz, the homeowner knew that being able to charge items such as mobile phones and tablets out of sight in a kitchen drawer perfectly synced with her ideas for a modern, clean, clutter-free kitchen.
Larry had to break some bad news to his homeowner: they'd never be able to find an in-drawer outlet that was UL-Listed and up to code that would pass building inspections. He couldn't safely install the solution she so desired in her newly updated kitchen.
Coincidently, Larry's long-term hardware supplier partner, EB Bradley, sent Larry a sales flyer, which announced a new innovation. That innovation was Docking Drawer! It was the industry's first UL Listed in-drawer electrical outlet. "Of all the synchronicity that has ever happened, this one was just about perfect," Larry said. Perfect indeed not only for not only creating a charging station in his client's kitchen, but also for taming the styling clutter of blow dryers and curling irons in her bathroom. Best of all, because Docking Drawer offers a full line of charging and powering outlet solutions offering different amounts of extension, we were able to easily specify an outlet to fit all the cabinet sizes, making Larry's job a lot easier. For example, Larry installed a Docking Drawer Slim Series charging outlet inside a kitchen drawer, which the homeowner intends to use when charging her tablet, mobile phone, and laptop. Meanwhile, in the homeowner's remodeled bathroom, Larry installed a Style Drawer series powering outlet into a vertical styling organizer utilizing Pojjo premium stainless steel ventilated capped tube set , perfect for holding hairdryers and curling irons.
Do you have a client in need of the perfect powering or charging solution? Contact us today to learn more about our products or to speak with one of our specification experts. Don't forget to ask about our Photo Bucks program.

Dave Brubeck obituary
American jazz pianist and composer who annoyed the purists by finding global fame

Wed 5 Dec 2012 13.49 EST
When the end of the 20th century came, some aspects of jazz began to be given the status of a classical form. In the reassessments that followed, the work of the American pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, who has died aged 91, was a major beneficiary. He was a figure simultaneously feted and mugged by ecstatic fans and infuriated purists during the years between 1954 and 1966 – the time when his catchiest and most deftly composed records were pop hits.
Like the Modern Jazz Quartet, which enjoyed similar commercial success in that period, Brubeck's music flattered and engaged the young white middle-class, and particularly the student population, much as the classical-sounding clarinettist Benny Goodman's work had done in the mid-1930s. Brubeck intertwined jazz swing with time-signatures that looked like algebra, and mingled standard song-forms with rondos and fugues. All kinds of music fans who would have hated to be seen with a jazz album owned Brubeck records in the 60s, just as they own Diana Krall, Jan Garbarek or Keith Jarrett discs today.
But if Brubeck's success, and the repertoire that achieved it, could be fighting talk among music-lovers 40 years ago, now time, and the eclecticism and fluid collaborations of a shrinking world, have healed his estrangement from the jazz audience. Brubeck's pieces are now recognised for the harmonically subtle, melodically devious and original works they are, and his most classically oriented works (such as the soft-winds Bach tribute Chorale) as triumphs in a treacherous territory in which short-changing jazz or dumbing-down symphonic composition is very hard to avoid. The Brubeck debate eventually vanished into the archives, and his real gifts – as a composer, and a charter of new rhythmic waters as inventive as the brilliant bebop drummer-composer Max Roach – came to be appreciated for what they always were.
Unlike Goodman and his college audience triumphs of the 1930s, Brubeck discovered his jazz in the postwar world – in a very different climate, which initiated the unusual chemistry of his music by a very different route. Jazz, pop and dancing were synonymous in the 30s. But Brubeck emerged a decade later, after the more cerebral and exploratory modernist idiom of bebop had profoundly influenced the music.
To make jazz popular again, to haul it out of the bare-bulb, hipster-subculture cellar it had holed up in during the late 1940s, would require a different approach. Brubeck, who grew up on a California ranch and initially trained as a vet, certainly made no such opportunistic calculations in the beginning, and wanted only to pursue his abiding passion for music any way he could. However, the populist approach found him in the end, whether he was looking for it or not. Born in Concord, California, he was originally trained in classical music, at first by a piano-playing mother. His environment cut him out to be a cowboy more than a musician – and with two older brothers on their way to music college, he was initially happy to embrace the alternative of working on the land himself. Though he resisted leaving the family ranch, his parents persuaded him to enrol as veterinarian major at the College of the Pacific.
Brubeck's musical enthusiasms then overtook him, and he switched courses after a year – to the mingled delight and anxiety of the music faculty, which welcomed someone clearly cut out to be one of its most naturally gifted students, but whose notation-reading was so poor they made him promise never to teach music before they had let him graduate. During this period Brubeck led and played in jazz bands most nights of the week, and also met Iola Whitlock, who ran the weekly campus radio show. Brubeck proposed to her after a two-week relationship, and she survives him, along with four sons and a daughter.
During the second world war, Brubeck was given an army band to run on a tour of Europe in 1944. His superior officer, a jazz fan, repeatedly intervened to prevent the musician being sent to the front. After demobilisation, he studied at Mills College with the classical composer Darius Milhaud, who revealed the intricacies of polyrhythm and polytonality to him, and influenced his music for life, telling him that if he wanted to express America, he would always use the jazz idiom.
Brubeck then founded an experimental collective, the Jazz Workshop Ensemble. It was dedicated to exploring forms of jazz less hidebound by orthodox "swing" and Tin Pan Alley-derived harmonic structures. In 1951 he formed his first quartet, including a feathery-sounding alto saxophonist called Paul Desmond, a confirmed disciple of the undemonstrative, dynamically restrained white "cool school" variations on bebop whom he had briefly worked with in San Francisco in 1947. The pianist set up his own record label, Fantasy Records, and released Jazz at Oberlin (1953), the quartet's first album. This exploration of live recording, rare for the time, secured a deal with Columbia Records – and the ensuing Jazz Goes to College (1954) sold over 100,000 copies. The success made Brubeck the first jazz musician to be featured on the cover of Time magazine, which said he was ushering in the birth of a new kind of jazz age in the US.
In the late 1950s the first quartet lineup, with bassist Norman Bates and drummer Joe Dodge, was transformed by the remarkable drummer Joe Morello and the bassist Gene Wright, and the most popular and influential Brubeck quartet was born. The familiar four-on-four metre of straight-ahead jazz time was augmented by complex tempos like 9/8 (as in the engaging Mozartian Blue Rondo a la Turk) and 11/4, though the improvising sections of Brubeck's pieces frequently loosened into regular swing, which ingeniously balanced their appeal.
The album Time Out (1959) turned out to be the group's biggest landmark, unleashing the first million-selling post-bebop jazz records with singles of Blue Rondo and the Desmond composition – triggered by a 5/4 Morello drum exercise – Take Five. Between 1959 and 1965, the Quartet won Down Beat magazine's readers' poll five times and was Playboy readers' favourite jazz group for 12 years running, from 1957 to 1968. By the early 1960s, the New Yorker announced that the quartet was "the world's best-paid, most widely travelled, most highly publicised, and most popular small group now playing improvised syncopated music".
But this success had not come without reservations in the jazz world. Brubeck was on the wrong side of the purists almost as soon as his discs started to become hits – for what were seen by some as three betrayals. First, and maybe worst, he made money, which was a form of notoriety usually regarded as a sell-out by hardline hipsters. Second, his conspicuously complex tempos paraded cleverness and a fondness for European classical devices at a time when black American jazz was dumping much of its formal baggage, and fiery, impassioned and unpredictable improvisers such as Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane were on the rise. Third, he was portrayed by the cognoscenti as wasting the talents of a truly great improviser in Desmond, his lyrical and delicate alto saxophonist.
Such generally perspicacious writers as the British critic Benny Green were merciless with Brubeck. But the band was a huge success all around the world, and toured constantly. The jazz-loving American comedian Mort Sahl once remarked of American cold-war foreign diplomacy that "After John Foster Dulles visits a country, the State Department sends the Brubeck Quartet in to repair the damage."
The quartet finally disbanded in 1967, rejoining only once, in 1976, for a 25th anniversary tour. Brubeck branched out, concentrating increasingly on large-scale composition, writing ballets – Points on Jazz (1960) entered the repertory of the American Ballet Theatre – a mass, various cantatas, and combinations of jazz musicians and symphony bands. He also began performing with his highly musical sons: Darius, a keyboard player; Chris, a trombonist/bassist; Danny, a drummer; and latterly the youngest, cello-improviser Matthew. He also worked effectively with the saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi in the 80s, and the uncannily Desmond-like Bobby Militello in the 90s.
Brubeck's landmarks, awards and citations became too numerous to count – he played for presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan and Clinton, appeared at the Reagan-Gorbachev Moscow summit in 1988, and composed a score for Pope John Paul II's visit to San Francisco in 1987.
All his life, Brubeck continued to regard himself as "a composer who plays the piano". Though much was made of his piano-playing by his early fans, Brubeck's solos relied heavily on riff-like block chords and rather relentless dynamics. They became more varied and unpredictable in the later stages of his career and remained so into his 80s. But Brubeck's real achievement was to blend European compositional ideas, very demanding rhythmic structures, jazz song-forms and improvisation in expressive and accessible ways. His son Chris was to tell the Guardian, "when I hear Chorale, it reminds me of the very best Aaron Copland, something like Appalachian Spring. There's a sort of American honesty to it."
However difficult Brubeck's pieces became, they could still be whistled at the bus-stop. That's likely to go on happening for a long time.

London consultancy Parker Williams has developed packaging for Organic Honey Dew, a new beer from Fuller's. The organic ale replaces the brewer's former Honey Dew range.
'It was important for the design to sit comfortably within Fuller's strong corporate product portfolio, while projecting a softer, more ingredient-led quality,' says Parker Williams creative director Tamara Williams.
The original Honey Dew range proved popular with women, and with lager drinkers.
The brewer is now seeking to attract a broader customer market without alienating traditional real ale enthusiasts.

Xplor XL: The Xplor XL is the same 40mm deep rim as the Xplor but drilled 28H. We also build them three cross with the stiffer Sapim Sprint aero spoke or Race butted spoke for increased durability under riders around 190 pounds and up (no limit), or deep woods adventuring or even loaded touring. We recommend a hub using a J bend spoke hub to ensure easy access to spares while bike tripping. The Xplor XL can take whatever you choose to throw at them, with confidence.
The rims have are great mid aero depth for a balance of speed and light weight. The widdth, at 24mm internal, is aero optimized for a 28mm to 30mm wide slick road tire. A 28mm tire will generally measure 30mm on the rim. You can also easily run the widest gravel tires that are likely to fit in your frame, including the popular 40mm gravel tires.
We build these with either Shimano/SRAM HG 11 speed freehubs or SRAM XD or new XDR drivers.
We lace the Xplor XL in a 28 hole, three cross configuration front and rear. We use Sapim CX Sprint spokes in standard build. They are a thicker oval spoke, similar to the CX Ray but thicker and stiffer. We think that the oval spokes look proper on this wheelset so we only go up to a full round, butted Sapim Race, upon request or after discussion about the customer's intended use.


I run a 'load balancer' at home. The first thing I hear when I tell people this is something along the lines of 'what on earth are you running if you need a load balancer at home?!' Now technically it's not really a load balancer it's a reverse proxy.
The problem I have was actually solved in an earlier blog post however I thought it might be useful to provide some documentation on the issue. The associated post is HERE.
Essentially because I have a script which needs to validate my domain ownership every few months I need to put some files in a web root. My blog is my default site within my nginx 'load balancer' so how can I do this nicely in a programmatic way?
Well, the best way I could think up essentially uses the user-agent of the validator LetsEncrypt to route any requests from LetsEncrypt to a different site, which holds just raw files.
Pretty standard stuff. Anything that comes in on the default or blog domains is forwarded to the ghost instance. Easy enough!
This chunk defines where we want the new upstream information to point.
And here is where we check for the user-agent, if it's letsencrypt we'll redirect it to the webserver definition we made above.
That is literally it, really nice and simple!

How to Put a Stop to Itching

By Kristina Duda, RN
Medically reviewed by a board-certified physician
Itching can be an incredibly irritating and frustrating symptom. Whether you are itching due to an allergic reaction, skin irritation, an illness, or any other reason, you likely will do whatever it takes to make it stop. It's important to figure out what is causing the itching so you know the best way to treat it and find some relief.
Where Are You Itching?

Itching is a common symptom of allergies and multiple illnesses. It can have many causes - from general irritation to a medication reaction or side effect. Where you are itching can be a clue to what is causing it.
Skin - all over (generalized) or in one location (localized)
If you have an itch in your genital area, contact your health care provider for guidance. It could be caused by several different types of infections—from basic skin irritation to a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
What is Causing the Itching?

Some common causes of itching include:
Food or medication allergies
Parasites - such as head lice and scabies
Insect bites and stings
Contact with irritants - such as chemicals or plants like poison ivy
The treatment that is most appropriate is dependent on the cause. If you have dry, itchy skin then lotion may bring relief. If you are experiencing itching due to allergies, an oral allergy medication may be best. Itching from an insect bite or sting is often best treated with a topical anti-itch cream.
If itching is persistent and bothersome, you should contact your health care provider to get an accurate diagnosis.
Treating Itching With Medications

Once you have figured out what is causing your itching, you can figure out how to treat it. Some medication options that can help relieve itching include:
Antihistamines (medications for itching, sneezing, and runny nose) - this includes diphenhydramine (Benadryl), cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), desloratadine (Clarinex) and fexofenadine (Allegra). Benadryl or generic diphenhydramine is best for allergic reactions.
Anti-itch creams such as corticosteroids may be helpful for itching in small areas.
Other medications - if your itchy skin has gotten infected, you may need treatment with antibiotics. If it is caused by another medication you are taking, talk to your healthcare provider about your treatment options.
If you experience difficulty breathing, facial or tongue swelling or vomiting accompanied by hives, seek medical attention immediately. These are signs of a life-threatening allergic reaction.
Treating Itchy Skin Without Medication

If you have itchy skin, but do not need to take medication, or don't want to, these options may help. They can help soothe and calm your itchy skin.
Cold compresses (cold cloth)
Lukewarm baths
Lotions or moisturizers
Using mild soap
Oatmeal bath
Things to avoid if you have itchy skin:
Irritating fabrics (especially wool and polyester)
Long hot baths - although it may provide temporary comfort, bathing in hot water can actually dry out your skin and make itching worse.
Bubble baths, powders, cornstarch
While it may be difficult not to scratch the itchy skin, using the methods suggested above could help. Try to limit scratching as much as possible since it only irritates the skin further and increases your risk of infection.

Home→Children→Fear In Children→Common Childhood Fears
What's Normal and What's Abnormal?
Fears typically start to emerge in earnest around age 2, and usually start to abate at around age 6 or 7, at which time normal early childhood fears are replaced by more realistic anxieties about life in general.
Typical preschool and early childhood fears
It's quite common for preschoolers to go through phases in which they periodically become afraid of different things. The most common fears are over monsters or the dark or clowns or people in costume, but they can also come up with some rather unique (and irrational) fears that leave parents scratching their head.
These anxieties arise as children become more aware of different things around them, but are still young enough that they hold many flawed assumptions and magical beliefs about the world. "A preschooler's imagination is really blossoming, and he can often concoct some scary explanations for things that he's not sure about," says Tamar Chansky, Ph.D., author of Freeing Your Child from Anxiety. (Hester, 2013, p. 98)
Normal fears among elementary school children
School age kids tend to worry more about things like humiliation at school, car accidents, the potential for nuclear war, and other realistic concerns. These fears are frequently exaggerated and overblown, but they're based on conceivable threats.
Around one-third of school-age children will experience fears that reoccur, though adults may not always be aware of these fears. Older kids often feel embarrassed about their anxieties and so they are reluctant to share their feelings with others.
When do a child's fears become a problem?
Generally speaking, the lipnus test to distinguish between normal childhood fears that a child is likely to outgrow and something more serious is the degree to which a fear affects a child's life and impedes their functioning.
Normal fears:
Are based upon a realistic assessment of actual threats
Occur during a typical developmental stage
Respond to parental comforting and tend to abate after a while
Unhealthy/abnormal fears:
Disrupt a child's day to day life
Will prevent them from functioning normally or doing things other kids might do
Are based on unlikely, unrealistic, or imaginary dangers (such as obsessively fearing a plane crash.)
Children who experience chronic fears that regularly create a disruption in daily life may struggle with an underlying condition such as an anxiety disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder.
Why children are more susceptible to fear than adults
Fear originates from an emotional hub of the brain known as the amygdala. When this area is active, it sends out signals to other areas of the brain, which then assist in interpreting those fears. Whereas fear originates in a "primitive" part of the brain that is more or less fully developed in children from the very beginning, the brain centers in the prefrontal cortex that play a critical role in suppressing such signals in order to keep our fears in check are still underdeveloped in children.
In other words, kids have a brain that is capable of generating intense fear but ill-equipped at regulating these signals. Hence, children struggle to reign in their fears once something triggers these emotional reactions.

How do fictional tactics operate in what is often simplistically termed the "factual" or referential world of autobiographical discourse? Many narratologists view the rhetorical figure of metalepsis as distinctive to metafictional texts and constitutive of "fictional" narration, which they posit in antithesis to "factual" narration. But regarding autobiographical narrative only within the realm of fact ignores its complexity. While some theorists of autobiographical narrative have read it through the rhetorical figure of prosopopeia, as elaborated by Paul de Man in characterizing its "de-facement" of subjectivity, we argue that the figure of metalepsis operates productively in autobiographical narrative, particularly hybrid and experimental texts. The use of metalepsis shifts levels or layers of narration across temporal and spatial planes in ways that confuse its diegetic and metadiegetic levels. That is, autobiographical narrative, while filtered through the récit factuel, is not consistently fixed in an extratextual, ontologically unified, referential world. We pursue this argument by exploring four cases: the circuit of transfer in incomplete conversion narrative (Rowlandson's A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson); palimsistic seepage between the Bildungsroman and trauma narrative (Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius); narrative collision of "parallel universes" (Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted); and unstable witness to collective trauma by a second-generation narrator (Spiegelman's Maus: A Survivor's Tale). Recent critical studies of metalepsis also probe how it presses at the limits of referentiality in life narratives by J. M. Coetzee, Javier Marías, and Christine Brooke-Rose. In sum, autobiographical narrative is by no means a referential, "monologic" mode easily differentiated from the dialogism and metadiscursivity of the novel; rather, it is a mode unsettled by figural, discursive, and temporal boundary-crossing.
