With the release of the D750, much has been made of its ability to recover shadow detail. Given the range of talents that the D750 has it is strange that this has been singled out given that the D800 and D4, released in 2012, outperform it in this regard, and the cheaper D600 (also from 2012) is able to match it at base ISO. And the old guard, the D700, D3 and D3s, weren't too shabby at recovery either!
The first obvious advantage of this is to 'save' badly exposed shots and camera reviews regularly point to this. In the frantic world of wedding photography, I'll readily admit to having been thankful of this ability on more than one occasion. But if this is all you use it for then you're perhaps missing out on the creative avenues that this sensor technology affords you.
As photographers, we strive for correct exposure but the ability of modern Nikon cameras to find details in shadows opens up a debate as to what correct exposure actually is. More and more, I find myself technically exposing wrong with post processing in mind.
This image, shot on the enthusiast level D610 was taken in 2pm bright summer light. Knowing the limits of the D610 sensor I was able to deliberately underexpose by around 2 stops to retain sky detail, knowing that I could later recover the shadows.
The clouds and the bride's veil would've been completely blown out, and the sky would've lost much of its color. The resultant image wouldn't have been as evocative of the scene as we remembered it, while the deliberately underexposed image has given us something much better looking.
In the image above, from the same wedding, we fully exploited the abilities of the Nikon D800 to produce an image that again gave us something approaching what the scene looked like to our eyes. It's essentially a HDR picture but created with just one shot. The SOOC image shows just how much shadow detail it's possible to recover with the D800.
Of course, in open shade the other option is to expose for skin and blow the highlights (as in the image below). This is a softer, more ethereal style of shooting that we frequently use – and I'm sure many will prefer it. We just love having the option to take both kinds of photograph.
In all of these photographs, time was limited. The shadow recovery ability of the cameras, a D610 and D4, meant we didn't have to set up any lighting or have assistants holding reflectors in order to capture the scene as we saw it. Here's how they look SOOC.
The important thing to point out here is that the wildly 'incorrect' exposure was the right exposure for what we wanted to achieve. In all these examples we took as much time and deliberation to get the under-exposure, as we would've done if exposing 'properly' for skin. The key is to know the limits of your camera and how to process the RAW image afterwards.
We shoot all kinds of Nikons – D4, D800, D750 and D610 bodies. Each of them has different shadow recovery abilities and you really need to get to know how far you can push the camera you are holding. In our experience the D800 (and by extension the D810) is by far the best. The D4 (D4s/Df) sensor performs slightly better than the D750 and D610, both of which seem to have virtually the same ability. We always shoot 14bit lossless compressed RAW at ISO 100 or as close to it as possible. At base ISO the camera's ability to retain shadow detail is at it's best – it's noticeably worse (but actually still impressive) from around ISO800 on all Nikons we've used.
The following picture was shot on a Nikon D750 as the November sun was setting. We quickly put the couple into position, exposed for the highlights, composed and shot. In a matter of minutes the light was gone and we were left with this intentionally underexposed shot. Had we exposed for skin by bumping ISO, we would've lost highlights and the colors of the sky. Had we taken time to set up lights we'd have likely missed the opportunity.
Editing was straightforward, involving little more than some basic tweaks and brush work. Here's how we did it.
In lightroom, start by importing and adding any filter you might normally use. In this case we used a modified VSCO film preset.
The next stage for us is to do a little brushwork if it's needed. With a Wacom tablet this also should take little more than a few seconds.
A little localized exposure increase and a further shadow lift with the brush tool improves things. We often add a little clarity and/or contrast to counteract the shadow lift. And finally some noise reduction and sharpness can clean up any grain that you might get from extreme shadow recovery. It has to be said that you can push these cameras a lot and often not need any noise reduction.
The end result is a balanced picture where both the colors and highlights of the sunset are retained and the couple don't appear as removed from the scene as sometimes can happen when using off-camera flash.
Having the ability to draw details from shadows so cleanly has changed not only how we shoot and post-process, but also the equipment we need to take certain kinds of shots. Our flash triggers have been mostly redundant for 2 years now and our flashguns only really come out on the dance floor. We don't use reflectors at all. The extra couple of minutes spent in post is negated by the time saved setting up equipment while shooting – allowing us to spot and shoot scenes quickly, taking advantage of beautiful but often fleeting lighting conditions.
More than ever, Nikon cameras are allowing us to deliver a processed picture that looks much closer to how our eyes perceive a scene. In many ways this perhaps signifies digital imaging coming of age – allowing us to do things that are difficult or even impossible to do with film.
While the results might not be to every photographer's (or client's) tastes, we love the versatility of being able to shoot this way. Perhaps 95% of the time there is no substitute or need for anything other than 'proper' exposure, but when the situation demands it, this is an invaluable weapon to call upon.
All photos were taken on Nikon cameras, edited with Lightroom 5 and VSCO film, grain and sharpening added in Photoshop.


Mathematics has been a dreaded subject for at least a century, even more so. However, kids who have excelled in the subject have a chance to extend and expand their knowledge, by taking an active part in competitions. These competitions not only provide a challenging environment but also, give students a chance to meet other math wizards. In the field of Mathematics, it is essential to know who the current competition is in the subject. This is what enables mathematicians to collaborate with each other to develop complex solutions to intense problems.
The International Maths Contest is a 30-minute challenge that you can take online. The challenge is free for participants. It also offers a detailed report on the student's performance and understanding of mathematical concepts. Not only does the contest give students a statement on their performance, but it is also the qualifier for the second round, which is an extremely challenging Olympiad course. The questions that are asked in this competition is known to cause a more in-depth thinking process in the most advanced students.
The Australian Mathematics Competition has had over 15 million entries since 1978. The AMC is the world's largest school-based maths competition. This competition is available in the paper and pencil format and has students from over 20 countries attempting the same problems. Students who attend the AMC are asked to answer 30 questions in 60 mins for years 3-6 and 30 questions in 75 mins for years 7-12. The questions are designed to make it challenging to the most gifted of students and need to be solved without a calculator.
This competition is held in Romania and is attended by high schools' students all over the world. The United States have been winners for three out of four years of participating in the contest. The highly competitive environment students are helped by teaching assistants to get equipped for the contest. Over 70 students from top school around the world participate. In the year 2018, students from Canada, Georgia, Greece, Romania, Thailand, and Ukraine participated. The competitions like the IMO intend to bring math to the common consciousness of pupils. The students aim to think of creative and critical ways to solve problems. Students to manage to win in this competition are awarded not just academic success but a secure professional future.
This competition is conducted in Germany once in two years. The contest involves students using their mind to solve complex mathematical problems. Since 2004, the contest is one of the most revered competitions that focus on mathematics. The competition has a limited number of seats available for contestants. With seats for a maximum of forty students, students who are math wizards, need to demonstrate their ability to solve problems from several categories. Addition, Roots, Multiplication and some surprise tasks comprise of the types covered at the contest. To be able to participate in the actual competition, students need to pass the qualifying round. For the year 2018, the competition is scheduled to take place between the 28th and 30th of September.

What is the Kingdom?
Home » News » ARTICLES » What is the Kingdom?
Posted by: admin on Sun, Apr 8, 2012
By J.P.GERKE Minister All Saved
Most of the ministry and parishioners believe that the Kingdom of Heaven/God is the
same as, Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the United States of America.The U.
S. is not America, since it is only part of north America, but is in the continent of
The Kingdom is like that, it is in heaven, but not all of heaven and only part of it. Now to
come right out with it, the Kingdom is the government, which is the ruling authority over
heaven and the people in it.
In the prophesy of (Isaiah 9:6,7). It says that a Child will be born, and the government will
be upon His shoulders: and His name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty
God, Prince of Peace, and the increase of His Government and peace, there shall be no
end. (Messiah) The Strong's Bible Concordance says that the King-dom, is royalty,
rule, realm, reign. In this sense, it is positions of authority and not a place, per se.
The big question is: who will reign in the Kingdom? The Bible says that people will reign
with the Messiah in heaven. Yahshua said " Not everyone that says to me, Yahshua,
Yahshua shall enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven, but those that do the will of my Father
which is in Heaven. (Matthew 7:21)
In the parable of the people working in the vinyard, the last to be hired got the same
wages as the first. So the last Shall be first and the first last. Remember in these
scriptures, that it does not say the first were not included. And besides they also got
Whether first or last, many are called and few are chosen. Chosen for what? Does it say
anything about hell, Lake of Fire, being tormented for ever, for not being chosen? No, it
does not say that.
The Bible speaks of not inheriting the Kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9,10) (Galatians 5:
19,20,21) It lists every Kind vial sin you can think of, even those you never thought of,
and they will not have positions in the Kingdom.
Yahshua said " That unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom Of Heaven. The alternative is
not the Lake Of Fire, and it doesn't say it is. (Matthew 5:20)
The Pharisees said the lord cast out devils by Beelzebub.Yahshua said, every Kingdom
divided against it self shall not stand. If satan casts out satan, How shall satan's kingdom
stand. (Mat12: 26-28) satan has a kingdom and the chidren of his kingdom are demons.
Ok, so what is the advantage to being in the Kingdom and the ruling authority? To start
from the top, Yahshua is King of Kings and Master of Masters. This Means that He is
over them as they rule in heaven.
As Timothy said " there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Yahshua, the
righteous Judge, will give me that day: and not to me only, but also to all who Have
loved His appearing". (2 Timothy 4:8)
Listen, my beloved brethren: has the Lord not chosen The poor of the world to be rich in
faith and heirs of The Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? (James 2:5)
If you love me, keep the Commandments. (John 14:15) For this is the love of Elohim
that We keep His Commandments, and they aren't grievous. He that Overcomes, and
keeps my works to the end, to him I will I give power over the nations. (Revelation 2:26)
To repeat: not everyone that says Yahshua, Yahshua will enter the Kingdom. Many are
called, few are chosen. These scriptures are speaking about the people that are not
chosen to be part of the government in heaven, And they won't be cast into the Lake of
Fire for not being chosen for the government. The rest of mankind that are not chosen
will go into heaven to be subjects under the Authority.
Elohim will make the chosen, Kings and Priests to reign on the earth. (Rev 5:10) They
will be Priests of Elohim and the Messiah to reign with Him a thousand years. (Rev.20:
6) In the end they will reign for ever and ever. (Rev.22:5) And Remember: to reign, you
have to have people to reign over, all are not chosen for that. All will be saved, but all will
not be Kings, is that not plain enough?
This page is about the kingdom, and what it means. As I said before, doctrines come
and go, but mostly comes and then you can't get rid of them. I actually believe they are
chiseled in stone, someplace. At least that is what it seems like because they never end.
Doctrines are like traditions, they just seem to hang on
I mentioned to one pastor about Christmas that it was a pagan celebration and he said
well that is just one of our traditions that we keep. I think these pastors should read over
the Scripture that says, in vain do they worship me teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men, and that is byYahshua himself. There is only one way to look
at it, the modern church has become a church of man, not of the Bible. The sad thing
about it is they're not willing to change. Even when you show them the scriptures.

Insider Interviews & Perspectives
Our Take: International Montessori Academy Wrocław
International Montessori Academy - is a team of educational institutions inspired by the methods of education and upbringing of Dr. Maria Montessori. At every level of education - from the nursery to the elementary school, it provides children with learning in the safe Montessori microworld, where they can develop in accordance with the development phases. It consists not only of specially designed and equipped classrooms, but also a garden with plants and animals for which children have to care for. Working in the garden, caring for animals provides them not only with the right portion of outdoor movement, but also with nature, teaching responsibility and independence. The garden is also a place of fun and development of movement coordination, social and communication skills. In a safe environment, children acquire new skills and knowledge. They work alone or in small groups - as a rule - let me do it myself. It is supported by a teacher who follows the child, adapting the program to his abilities and pace of work. At the Montossarian school, children can make mistakes because they are treated as a natural learning process. The evaluation system is also different, in which the most important is information about what the student already knows and what he should work on. Both the kindergarten and the school implement the program requirements of the Polish educational authorities, the British Curriculum guidelines and the Cambridge school curriculum, which the academy is currently applying for. At the same time, he pursues a bilingualism program in all primary school classes, in accordance with the Cambridge Bilingual Education guidelines. By providing learners constant contact with the living language, the school uses various methods, such as language immersion (immersion), CLIL (CLIL) or CLT, in which communication is the most important, not correct speaking or writing. Despite its Montesorrian pedigree, the school emphasizes the development of digital literacy of pupils. For this purpose, among others joined the Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) and Cogito 21 programs

Academics Summary: [Hide summary]
Curriculum: Progressive/Montessori
Preschool/K Curriculum: Montessori
Academic Culture: Supportive
Developmental priorities: Intellectual
Special needs support: Not provided
Gifted learner support: Not provided
Homework Policy:
Central to your child's school experience is the underlying curriculum taught in the classroom. "Curriculum" refers to both what is taught and how it's taught. When considering the different curricula outlined in the next few pages, keep in mind that few schools fall neatly into one category or another. Most schools' curricula comprise a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. Having said that, most schools do have a general overall curriculum type. These are identified for each school on OurKids.net.
Primary Curriculum: Progressive
Progressive (sometimes called "inquiry based" or "discovery based") curricula use students' interests and their natural curiosity as the driver for instruction. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources necessary for students to investigate a topic or issue. Students are then encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers, solutions, and insights.
Secondary Curriculum: Montessori
What IMA says: Our team of teachers uses the best global practices and lessons learned in implementing the bilingualism program. At our Academy, we follow the British Curriculum guidelines. The British program enjoys a huge reputation, is recognized and recognized around the world. The program assumes a comprehensive education and emphasizes the development of the child's personality, the search for his talents, special skills. It is based on his interests and possibilities. It supports learning by asking questions, solving problems, and creative thinking.
Nature-based
Preschool/K Curriculum Montessori
Preschool/K Curriculum approach at IMA: Montessori
IMA has a Montessori approach to Preschool/K Curriculum (as opposed to Play-based, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, Academic approach).
[Show: About Montessori?]
Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which "tasks" or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a "right answer" and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.
What IMA says: The philosophy of our institution was inspired by the idea of education and upbringing of people, in accordance with the assumptions of Dr. Maria Montessori. Our goal is to bring up an independent believer in his own strength and convinced of the child's own worth.
Academic Culture Supportive
Academic Culture approach at IMA: Supportive
IMA has a Supportive approach to Academic Culture (as opposed to Rigorous approach).
[Show: About Supportive?]
A school with a "supportive" academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, that the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a "rigorous" academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.
What IMA says: Cognitive development Because the 2.5- to 6-year-old's mind is absorptive, the best we can do is follow the designated paths of brain development. A child at this age passes the so-called a sensitive phase when it comes to language acquisition, both spoken and written. Little Children are fascinated by numbers - their understanding opens a new direction in learning about the world.
Developmental priorities Intellectual
Primary Developmental Priority: Intellectual
Academically strong, creative, and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions.
Secondary Developmental Priority: Balanced
Equal attention is paid to a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social, and physical.
What IMA says: Own work is also time to develop interests. Since these are daily activities lasting 3 hours, the student has a lot of time to work on the mandatory and additional tasks and those that he chooses. In junior grades of primary school, these are often nature projects in the form of presentations for public speaking, creating a quiz for a class or poster with professional descriptions of individual animal characteristics. It is worth mentioning that at this time the child does not have to sit in a bench, he can choose a place where he will learn.
Special needs support Not provided
Academic Support:
Learning strategy and study counselling; habit formation
Extra support and minor accommodations for children experiencing subclinical difficulties
Mild but clinically diagnosed ADHD:
Support for moderate-to-severe special needs:
Formal adjustments are made to the delivery of lessons to help mitigate the learning difficulty or exceptionality. The underlying content and expectations remain unchanged with accommodations, however. (Example: allowing a student to write tests in a quieter room).
The underlying content and expectations are modified and/or simplified for the sake of the student. (Examples: allowing student to use a calculator on a test when other students can't; allowing students to bring word-banks or "cheat sheets" into certain tests, etc)
Research-based therapeutic measures that target and ameliorate the underlying weakness.

In our Academy we want to create a truly homely atmosphere. We want to create a place free from the limitations of conventional education.
The philosophy of our facility was inspired by the idea of education and upbringing of people, in accordance with the assumptions of Dr. Maria Montessori. Our goal is to bring up an independent believer
in his own strength and convinced of the child's own worth.
Our Academy is a place where children learn through the senses, direct action and experience, according to their own pace of development, interests, possibilities and limitations. In order to provide the children with optimal conditions for action and experience, all rooms at the Academy are equipped with original materials, called the development material of Maria Montessori.
We believe that intelligence is not determined at the time of birth and that human potential is unlimited. We know that children learn by example, which is why we use positive support, encourage us to make progress and pay attention to individual efforts as well as the level of development as opposed to focusing on principles and consequences.
When children believe that they are capable and independent, they succeed in school and try with all their might through action. We do our best to give the child a sense of responsibility and encourage them to be proud of doing something by themselves.

NORDIC HOUSE Nordic House, a store specializing in imported Scandinavian goods, is closing. Owner Pia Klausen told Berkeleyside the news will likely be a huge disappointment to the Scandinavian community. "Unfortunately, our import laws are just too strict, which makes it impossible for a small store like ours to survive," Klausen said. The official closing date is dependent on the sale of the building. Nordic House sells dry goods, food products, cookware, books and more from Scandinavia. The business, originally based in Oakland, opened 57 years ago. Klausen took over from her father in 2010, moving into the current Berkeley location. The owner-user, mixed-use building includes a one-bedroom apartment and parking. Nordic House, 2709 San Pablo Ave. (near Derby), Berkeley 94702. Tel: 510-705-1932. Update, Dec. 19: Nordic House is still open as of this week as the building has not found a buyer.

LOBELIA North Berkeley women's clothing boutique Lobelia shuttered on Jan. 30 preceded by a week-long close-out sale. A handwritten sign on the door thanked the community for its support and patronage. Lobelia started out on College and Alcatraz in the late 1990s, moving later to the Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood, near Saul's. In 2009, original owner Maryann Luckenbill closed her shop and re-opened a few blocks south at 1677 Shattuck Ave., near Virginia. Luckenbill retired in 2015. The boutique sold affordable new and vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories for women. Lobelia, 1677 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley 94709.

KISS MY RING Kiss My Ring, the jewelry design store which opened in 2000 on San Pablo Avenue, is closing its doors on Feb. 28. The specialty store showcased local artists' work, as well as jewelry and homeware textiles designed by owner Melissa Rallis. The store is closing so Rallis can explore new creative pursuits and travel. She will be liquidating fixtures and cases and other items until Feb. 26 and inventory will be available on her website through 2019. Rallis, who is also a local notary public, will continue services online at her KMR website as a mobile, traveling notary. "I have loved my many years here in this community, and have been so humbled to have the outpouring of good wishes, positivity and warm hugs," Rallis said. "Thank you to everyone that came by to purchase from me, I am so appreciative of all of your business!" Kiss My Ring, 2522 San Pablo Ave. (at Blake), Berkeley 94702. Tel: 510-540-1282.

Hi , after accidently clicking on the logout link in the app I can't login : the app is requesting me details as I was a new user. Can anyone help?
Just log in with the phone number you initially used to sign up. The log in screen looks the same for all users.
Yes I try that . Didn't work. I also uninstalled the Android app and install it again . The issue still there. I tweeted about. Waiting for some update .
Hi, apparently is its a bug in the app. I uninstall it and install it again, the error persist.


They have a couple models in stock but purchase others, which can take around 12 weeks. Order early in the event of delays. Many new parents are surprised at the length of time it takes for their child's crib to arrive. Local baby shops usually carry premium crib manufacturers at mid to premium rates. They often don't keep Automobiles in stock, so every single crib is a unique purchase. However, the regional baby store probably offers the most personalized service, and will probably spend more time with you in order to find the crib you truly want.
Wheels are a really helpful feature. Verify the casters to make sure they aren't flimsy because you'll be moving the crib to vacuum under it, change sheets or fetch toys. If you aren't sure if you'll need them, then leave them off the crib but keep them near. You're probably going to need them around the crib by the time the baby is 3 or 4 weeks old. If you fall in love with a crib that does not have wheels already installed, you can buy furniture caster wheels at the hardware store and install them yourself.
New information on drop-side cribs indicates that re-assembly is often done incorrectly, which may endanger the infant. Missing exhausted or hardware pieces are also potential issues. Several crib businesses have gone out of business in the last few decades, too, meaning you could be stuck with a secondhand, remembered crib and nobody which can take it back.
Websites have a vast range of crib manufacturers and models, but shipping may be pricey. If there's a problem, returning the crib also could be difficult. Some households have reported noticeable damage to the crib from transport, too.
Adjustable mattress height can be found on all but the most inexpensive cribs. It allows the mattress to be greater in the crib so you can gently lay down a sleeping newborn, subsequently lowered for babies that can pull up. At least two mattress heights are fine, three is better. Have a look at the way the mattress is held up. The cable springs are normally the sturdiest choice. Part of the new crib safety standards from 2011 is stronger requirements for the mattress supports to avoid collapse.
Department stores can also sell cribs, typically at reduced - to mid-range prices. Most department stores don't maintain the cribs in stock, though, so you will probably have to order one.
Is supposed to fulfill government requirements. These requirements changed as of 2011, so it is a good idea to get used to the latest crib safety standards before you go shopping. If you build your crib into the manufacturer's instructions and use it correctly, even the least expensive crib ought to be safe for the baby. Sometimes, an unsafe crib slips through, however, so keep an eye on present baby products recalls, just in case. Slats should be no more than 2 3/8" apart (the width of a soda can). Corner posts should not be greater than 1/16".
Determine your price range and decide which crib features are most important to you. Let the hunt begin to find the crib begin! Here are some crib.
Convertible Automobiles are appealing to a lot of buyers, however the extra expense might not be worthwhile to your parents. Some toddlers are convertible to toddler bedsothers to full size adult beds. Most Automobiles need an excess kit to be completely convertible, so ask about the cost before you make your final choice on a convertible crib. Additionally, ask yourself if you'll really convert the crib or if you'll reuse the crib to get siblings and purchase another toddler bed. Many toddlers can proceed into a twin mattress, which means you might also skip this step to save money.
If you're close to an IKEA store, take a peek at their contemporary, cheap cribs. The simple Sniglar crib has a rock-bottom price and can be dressed up or remain minimalist.
Shops like Walmart or Target usually take a limited number of infant styles, but often possess those cribs in stock. If you'd like an inexpensive crib without the frustration of ordering, these stores can be a fantastic choice. Inexpensive cribs look better than ever, thus a small budget does not have to mean you forfeit fashion.
Traditionally, baby cribs came with stationary sides, single-drop sides, or double-drop sides that slide , or even drop-gate sides that fold down. While fall sides are considered convenient, history shows us that they pose serious safety issues. According to the new crib safety standards, manufacturers aren't allowed to create new drop-side cribs. At this moment, you should search for a crib with fixed sides, or pick a drop-gate crib in the event that you really need the side to move down.

Exercising our body and keeping healthy is very important here in F1, so much so that we have tried a new relaxing form of exercise - yoga!
Yoga is a great way to exercise our mind and body. It promotes physical strength as we get to move our muscles in new and exciting ways; it refines our balancing and coordination skills and develops our focus and concentration.
Along with help from a 'Cosmic Kids Yoga' video, we used our bodies to represent all the different stages of the butterfly life cycle, influenced by one of our favourite stories 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. Jamie, our virtual yoga teacher, told us the story while describing and modelling the yoga positions, as we transformed from a tiny egg on a leaf to a beautiful butterfly. We tried really hard to move, stretch and balance our bodies into different shapes! Lexi-Jay used clear communication to help her friends create the correct poses. While Tommy showed concentration focusing on the instructions in order to succeed. Also Evie A and Joshua did a fantastic mouse pose. However, Rylee appeared to be a yoga expert; he listened carefully to Jamie's instructions and executed them with such determination!
We worked our way through the story turning our bodies into different animals, including a dog, a horse and a lion who delivered the food to the ever so hungry caterpillar. We particularly loved the camel pose; blowing a raspberry before giving the hungry caterpillar four strawberries! Each time the caterpillar ate we had to pat our head while rubbing our tummy, Poppy and Ava said this was really hard! When the hungry caterpillar got a stomach-ache from eating all that food, we used our feet as a telephone to call a doctor asking for some advice. But we didn't need the doctor's help, we already knew what the caterpillar had to do to feel better…. eat a green leaf!
We also discovered a new secret yoga code word, 'Namaste'. We said this, whilst putting our hands together at our heart, at the start and end of our yoga session as way to thank and show respect to each other, celebrating all that is good and unique about us. Although some yoga positions were a little tricky, we didn't give up! Mrs Fenton helped us to practise some moves after we had finished the story. I think she secretly enjoyed our yoga adventure more than we did!
Personally, I was really impressed by the amount of self-belief and the sense of achievement illustrated by the children's beaming smiles when the children had mastered a move. I even found Jordii practising balancing in road runner position while waiting for milk and fruit!
We are all looking forward to lots more exciting 'Cosmic Kids' adventures in the future. Who knows what yoga world we will find ourselves in next?
It sounds fabulous doesn't it? I wonder if they could show you the moves at home!


We built the entire stream complex that runs the length of the south side of the LDS Conference Center, and integrated it with waterways in City Creek Park and the Brigham Young Historic Park. Based on the intended feel of each of these properties, the appearance of the water feature changes. It begins in an environment of hard temple quarry granite and rustic wooden water wheels and progresses to rounded stones and gentle cascades.
Building this feature to run the entire block (east to west) on North Temple in downtown Salt Lake City required careful and copious cooperation with the city as we coordinated road closures, flaggers and more to get all the rock and boulders delivered to what was a very wide, meandering job site.


The Spanish Period of New Orleans (1762 – 1800) ushered in far-reaching changes across the city's infrastructure. Both our system of above-ground burial and the Spanish Fire Code of 1794, were introduced during this period, giving us the iconic above-ground tombs and the beautiful brick townhomes, which have defined the city in images for hundreds of years.
The French Quarter & Cemetery Tour takes guests to St. Louis #1, our oldest above-ground cemetery, to discover the reasons behind this burial tradition and the types of tombs in our Cities of the Dead. Leaving the cemetery and crossing into the French Quarter, we discuss the changes introduced to the city's architecture by the Spanish Fire Code. We'll learn the common types of French Quarter buildings, including Creole Townhouses, Creole Cottages, Shotgun Houses, and learn how they reflect the people, politics, culture, and climate of the mid-nineteenth century.

Bartholomäus Mansel (frz. Barthélémy, * vor 1264; † nach 1284) war ab 1274 römisch-katholischer Bischof von Tortosa.

Er gehörte der bedeutenden fränkischen Familie Mansel aus Antiochia an. Er war vermutlich der Sohn von Robert Mansel, der 1207 Konstabler von Antiochia wurde. Simon Mansel, 1268 Konstabler von Antiochia, war wohl sein Bruder. Raimund von Antiochia und Bohemund IV. waren Stiefbrüder seines Vaters. Über seine armenische Mutter war er mit König Hethum I. von Kleinarmenien und dessen Bruder Sempat Sparapeţ verwandt.

Er war 1264 Vikar der Diözese von Antiocha und Regent von Tripolis, um 1274 wurde er Bischof von Tortosa, ein Amt, das er bis 1289 innehatte. Bartholomäus war ein Günstling von Sybilla von Antiochia, einer Tochter König Hethums I.

Hard to imagine top pick being beaten. OUR DECLARATION has had a flying start to their career and has won here before, the testing material. THE LAST GODFATHER has won at Hobart and placed in all other attempts this campaign, not the worst. STINKA won once this prep at Launceston six runs back and ran four lengths back from the winner last start at the track, place claims. POOLSIDE HENDRICK won last start to break maiden at Launceston and has won here before, strong place chance.
Our Declaration won by less than 0.5L.
Ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Launceston and has no help from the conditions. No wins in 10 past runs at the track. Prefer others.
Coming off a win to break maiden at Launceston. Likely to race on the speed and winner at the track before. One of the main hopes.
Won once this prep at Launceston six runs back and finished in the middle of the pack last start at the track. Won't be far away in the run. Well placed.
Winner at Hobart and placed in all other outings this prepearation. Placed three times at Launceston but been unable to get a win. Should fight out the finish.
Unplaced in all six runs this prep and ran 10th last start at Launceston. Rise in weight. Hard to have.
Won once this prep at Hobart four runs back and has not won in 11 outings to Launceston before. Up in trip. Capable of getting into the money.
Has had 23 runs without breaking maiden and has not won at Launceston previously. Appears tested.
Flying start to career and has won at Launceston before. The one to beat.
Finished at the rear last start at Launceston. Prefer to watch go around.
Still a maiden after 17 starts and down in distance. Not in this.
Finished four lengths off the winner last start at Launceston and drops 1.5kg from last run. Likely to race on the speed. Unlikely.

The St. Louis Plantation is a Southern plantation with a historic mansion located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, United States.

Built in 1858, the mansion was a replacement for a previous house named Erwin's Castle which was built in 1808 at the same location and was destroyed by a flood in the early 1850s. The two story frame cottage, covered with clapboards, is sitting on a brick basement. It shows elements of Greek Revival and Italianate architecture.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 3, 1975.

In order to stand a chance of surviving climate change, we need to keep 80 percent of known fossil fuel reserves in the ground. Friends of the Earth stands side by side with communities on the front lines of resisting fossil fuel projects – from extraction, to transportation, to combustion.
In the Pacific Northwest, we work with the Stand Up to Oil and Power Past Coal campaign to put a stop to the oil and coal export boom that threatens our climate and puts our oceans at risk. We support indigenous peoples in resisting fossil fuel projects, such as the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, which endanger the health of their lands and waters. And together with our international network, we support communities around the world in the fight for clean air, healthy ecosystems and a safe climate.
The real answer to the climate change crisis lies in changing the way we manage, extract, use and distribute Earth's natural resources.
Trump's Administration wants to repeal the Clean Power Plan — a move that would undermine EPA's ability to limit climate-disrupting emissions. Don't let Trump slow down the transition toward clean, renewable energy.

Q: How do you prevent a button from getting smaller, when changing from a div to a button? I have no idea what would fix this.
https://jsfiddle.net/eL5gn73s/
That big one is a div, the small ones are the buttons that have shrunk.
The button should be the same size as the div, not the other way around.
After changing from a div to a button, the button shrunk smaller than the size of the div that was 47px.

.box {
  position: relative;
  background: red;
  width: 47px;
  height: 47px;
  border-radius: 4px;
  border-width: 4px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-top-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
  border-left-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border-right-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border-bottom-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}

.box.box2 {
  background: red;
}
<button class="box box2" type="button"></button>
<button class="box " type="button"></button>

A: Give them both a display:block (or inline-block) and add box-sizing:content-box to both, then add box-sizing to both (border-box)
As for a FULL answer: this has to do with the border-box and content box which differs from div to button
Button uses the smaller and div the larger.
content-box uses the size + padding + borders
border-box uses size + padding - borders

SO your 4px X 2 border-radius has to be added TO the button to make it the same size as the div.
Here I show both the fixed and then the original for comparison (all as inline-block just for visual)  Notice the first group is the same size as the second groups DIV.
Hopefully this gives a better explanation and how to "fix" it.

body {
  font-size: 16px;
  background-color: #ddffdd;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

button.exit,
div.exit,
div.exit-new,
button.exit-new {
  display: inline-block;
  position:relative;
}

div.exit-new,
button.exit-new {

  height: 47px;
}

div.exit {
  box-sizing: content-box;
  width: 47px;
  height: 47px;
  top: 4px;
}

button.exit {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  width: 55px;
  height: 55px;
}

/*add element just for specificity here */
button.exit,
div.exit,
div.exit-new,
button.exit-new {
  background: red;
  border-radius: 4px;
  border-width: 4px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-top-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
  border-left-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border-right-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border-bottom-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}

.exit.exitPage2 {
  background: red;
}

  <button class="exit exitPage2" type="button"></button>
  <button class="exit " type="button"></button>

originals

  <button class="exit-new" type="button"></button>
  <button class="exit-new" type="button"></button>

A: try editing the buttons in the .exitpage2 css like this
.exit.exitPage2 {
  background: red;
   width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}

it should do what you need it to if you set the height and width to the desired amounts

Blue Moon ice cream is a mystery wrapped in an enigma and covered in blue food coloring. There's no consensus on what exactly the flavor is other than sweet and good, and I suspect different creameries throughout the Midwest have their own special formulas. On my hunt for a recipe to cook up a batch of Blue Moon ice cream at home, I discovered one on Food.com involving raspberry flavoring, lemon oil, and instant vanilla pudding that looked very promising and seemed to jive with what I remember Smurf ice cream, a marshmallow studded blue raspberryish concoction, tasting like. This is adapted from that recipe.
I used Boyajian's Natural Raspberry flavoring and lemon oil which you can find online or at a baking supply store. To get a vivid blue color, I recommend using gel food coloring which provides a more intense color.
To convert this recipe into Smurf ice cream, churn ice cream according to manufacturers directions adding 1 cup of mini marshmallow in the last five minutes of churning to evenly distribute.
A word of caution: Blue Moon ice cream and its Smurf counterpart are sweet, sweet, sweet and bright blue. If either of these things are a turnoff, you might leave this flavor to the kiddos and the young at heart. Anyone left standing grab a spoon and dig in!
Pour custard into a medium bowl and whisk in vanilla pudding mix until thoroughly incorporated. Whisk in raspberry flavoring, lemon oil and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated. Set bowl over an ice bath. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, then cover and refrigerate for 2 more hours or up to overnight until completely chilled. Churn chilled custard according to your ice cream maker's instructions. Transfer ice cream into a bowl or container that will hold 1 quart. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours to fully set. Serve.

Modern Humans in Arabia 125,000 years ago?
Stone tools have been recovered from a site in the United Arab Emirates. The tools are reported to be 125,000 years old and it is claimed by British archaeologist Simon Armitage in the journal Science that they were made by modern humans. This date is 40,000 to 60,000 years before modern humans are generally thought to have reached the Arabian Peninsula.
The tools were found at a rock shelter on Jebel Faya, a 350m (1,200ft) mountain equidistant from the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf and lying due south of the Straits of Hormuz. The rock shelter itself is 180m (600ft) above sea level. It contains archaeological layers dating from the Iron and Bronze Ages all the way back to the Palaeolithic. Artefacts from the latter have been found in three layers, the oldest of which, Layer C, has been dated by optical stimulated luminescence methods to the Eemian Interglacial, 125,000 years ago. The artefacts were manufactured using a number of different reduction strategies including Levallois, volumetric blade, and simple parallel methods. The tools include small handaxes, foliates, end scrapers, side scrapers, and denticulates. It has been suggested that they have more in common with contemporary artefacts from North and Northeast Africa than with those known from other Arabian sites. Since the African artefacts were made by modern humans, it is proposed that the Eemian Jebel Faya artefacts were too.
The Eemian Interglacial was warm period between the last and penultimate ice ages during which "humid corridors" opened up in the Sahara Desert. Modern humans reached the Levant, probably via the "humid corridors", but they are not generally thought to have reached further into Asia. The general view is at that time, the Levant was effectively a north-eastern extension of Africa. After conditions worsened 91,000 years ago, modern humans disappeared from the Levant, which was subsequently re-occupied by Neanderthals.
Armitage believes that humans crossed the Bab Al Mandab Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea at the onset of the Eemian, when sea-levels were fairly low and it could readily be crossed. Once in Arabia, the colonists benefitted from reduced competition for resources and exploit both the coast and interior for food. Groups occupied the southern coast and pushed inland, taking advantage of the warm wet conditions. Armitage suggests that it is these rather than technological innovation that provided the stimulus for the expansion. The more recent Palaeolithic artefacts suggests that the colony survived the harsher conditions that set in at the end of the Eemian, although it was probably cut off from groups living further south.
It cannot be ruled out that the tools were of Neanderthal origin, although co-author Anthony Marks rejects this view and in an article in Science claimed that Neanderthals did not use this combination of tools. Archaeologist Michael Petraglia noted that the site was out of the Neanderthal habitat range. But archaeologist Sir Paul Mellars was quoted as being "totally unpersuaded". He does not believe that there is any evidence that the tools were made by modern humans and does not see the tool style as African.
I will personally admit to being sceptical and think it is far more likely that these tools were made by Neanderthals. Petraglia's comments notwithstanding, it was reported last year that modern humans interbred with Neanderthals soon after leaving Africa. Assuming they left via the Bab Al-Mandab Strait, as is widely believed, they must have encountered Neanderthals in Arabia.

Loud music in pubs
As a regular pub-goer for many years I find it infuriating that all too often, my experience in a pub is ruined by music that is gradually increased in volume to a level that makes conversation all but impossible. Attempts to find a quieter spot are generally futile; loudspeakers are positioned to ensure that no place in the pub can escape the ghastly conversation-defeating THUD THUD THUD of the music, which itself is generally rubbish, utterly devoid of merit. I will generally be forced to move on and find somewhere quieter. In addition, there are many occasions where I enter a promising looking pub, only to turn round and walk straight out because of ridiculously loud music.
Please don't misunderstand me, I have nothing against music in pubs, but its purpose should be background. I totally fail to understand how anybody can enjoy volume levels appropriate to a nightclub or trendy bar. The pubs I visit do not have a particularly young demographic and drinkers are of a wide age range, with many in their 40s to 60s. I would imagine that few, if any, feel that the music adds anything to their drinking/eating experience. Furthermore, in the past, when I have gone drinking with work colleagues, there were times when even the younger people in the gruup found the music to be objectionably loud. Finally, I would call upon the support of Sir Patrick Moore, who on the TV program "Room 101" a few years ago listed pubs that play loud music even before he got on to his well-known dislike of fox hunting.
I have heard two theories, neither of which shows publicans in a very favourable light. The first is that the bar staff do it for their own benefit, totally forgetting that it is people like me who ultimately pay their wages. The other is that it is a cynical and wholly-irresponsible ploy to boost sales on the basis that people respond to the stress the music causes by drinking more.
I can in fact refute the latter theory. At one now-embargoed pub in Highgate, I have seen the pub empty almost visibly as the volume is increased. So it is clear that in that case at least, the music is purely for the benefit of the bar staff.
We are often hearing about the decline of the British pub. In such circumstances, surely it is a massive own goal to alienate your customer base by foisting something on them that at best adds nothing and at worst unacceptably detracts from the pub experience. If all drinkers would follow my example of boycotting pubs where loud music is played, by forcing a change of policy it would in the long do the industry a huge favour.
Unfortunately the industry don't seem care very much – I have emailed the British Beer and Pub Association about the issue, but nobody could be bothered to reply.

Adahmri and Sielahiel journeyed south along the foot of the mountains for weeks. They passed through a few small villages, where they were able to resupply and rest in a bed. Cayil, Sielahiel's trusty horse, showed signs of increasing exhaustion, necessitating earlier stops with each day that passed. Adahmri was in no hurry, but he and his companion agreed that they could not continue to strain the poor animal like this. According to the family who hosted them in the last village, they were only another day or so from the larger city of Stransin. There, they would be able spend some extra time tending to the workhorse's needs. Sielahiel was reluctant to leave Cayil behind, but neither did she want to keep Adahmri from continuing on his journey, as he would surely stay by her side if she remained with the horse.
Adahmri sat next to the horse on their final night of traveling. They had paused at the crest of a tall hill, where it smoothed into a flat top and sported a handful of trees they could use for cover in the night. Stransin sat in a basin between the hills, fully visible to them from their camp, but they did not want to risk a descent down the steep incline to the city in the fading light of the evening—and they couldn't easily see any other way down. If there was a road and a safer approach, the sharp hills made it impossible to see it from their vantage point.
Sielahiel fell asleep propped against Cayil's side. The horse had lain down in the soft grass to rest, as he had done for the last several weeks now, as if his aged legs could no longer bear the burden of his weight through the night. Adahmri placed a hand on the horse's face as he studied the animal's weary eyes. Cayil remained subdued, but still nickered quietly and nudged the young man's arm. Adahmri smiled sadly and closed his eyes.
Animals had an aura, just as every human did, but it was softer, blending with the land around them. Adahmri had to focus his senses to see Cayil's aura, and when he did it planted a seed of sorrow. It was so quiet, so dim. The animal had lived a long and plentiful life on the farm outside of Lorre, and all its days had known the love and friendship of its mistress, Sielahiel. But Adahmri's heart ached nonetheless. Cayil was not long for this world; he could feel it. Sielahiel would be devastated—more so than she was even now. He searched himself for any hint of the magic flowing through him, tried to wrest some form of miracle to breathe youth and vigor into the old workhorse. But by the time he finally relented to the truth that Cayil was going to die, his eyes were red from tears he refused to shed.
What was the point of being a god if he could not save those worthy of being saved? What could he actually do for the people he loved, once he Ascended? He knew that it was foolish to lament the passing of this horse, or to even try to stave it off. There was nothing sinister to the animal's old age, and it was certainly not unnatural. But he desperately wanted to protect his beloved Sielahiel from the pain of loss that would soon come over her. Perhaps this was all part of his trials, though. Maybe he needed to learn that he couldn't fix everything, even with his great power.
Not that he had great power yet. But one day he would, and he reasoned that he shouldn't go into this with the assumption that he could—or should—seek to make everyone happy. He didn't know what to expect of his future duties, but he doubted very much that prolonging the lives of old farm animals would be one of them.
For a moment, he resented his logical mind.
With a heavy sigh, Adahmri moved around the horse's bulky form and nestled close to Sielahiel to offer her the comfort of his presence. She mumbled as he drew close, and he shifted her into his arms. They slept against the horse's side until morning, and when they woke, Cayil did not stir again. Sielahiel's tears cut Adahmri's heart like a blade, and all he could do was hold her close as she wept for her old friend. They didn't have the means to bury the animal so they stripped some branches from the nearby trees and respectfully draped them over the horse's corpse. It wasn't an optimal grave, but perhaps they could come back out with some proper supplies from the city.
Once they said their goodbyes, Adahmri offered Sielahiel his arm and they made their way down the steep incline, carrying their bags on their backs. The northern gate stood tall in front of them as they reached it, and Adahmri noted that a well-maintained road wound west around the city's walls, disappearing around the bend. They approached on a broken footpath that had been carved out of the rocky hill they descended, but it clearly didn't receive the same care as the larger road which circled the city, presumably to an easier path down into the basin.
At the gate, a guard wearing a yellow surcoat over a long-sleeved chain shirt halted them. The man had a sword strapped to his belt, but the weapon was not drawn. The two travelers looked worn after their emotional morning and subsequent descent down the difficult terrain, but the guardsman greeted them with a smile nonetheless.
Adahmri glanced past the guard into the city proper. The settlement seemed fairly large—certainly larger than Lorre, but not close to Thornin by any means.
"Why is there only one inn?" he asked uncertainly.
Adahmri nodded slowly, and then thanked the man as he and Sielahiel entered the city. They looked around the quiet streets, and then glanced back toward the gates.
His words eased Sielahiel's worries, but he was not so readily soothed. Sielahiel didn't know about the myriad of things Adahmri had sensed as they had traveled. He hadn't worried over them, as the creatures hadn't seemed to notice their passing, but there had been dozens of other beings out there in the wilds: wolves, goblins, and trolls. He was certain he hadn't sensed everything, either. Was the city as safe as it thought it was, or was he just growing paranoid?
Setting aside that thought for now, he walked with Sielahiel through Stransin's quiet streets, trying not to think about how strange it was that a place of this size was not already bustling as distant bells tolled the late morning hour.

How is Brainwave Biofeedback Used to Treat Addiction?
What if you could control cravings and the other unpleasant aspects of withdrawal using just your mind? Almost everyone in today's society has heard the phrase "mind over matter." People use this phrase to indicate the mental overcoming the physical. In the case of biofeedback, it is using awareness and the mind to control the body. Instead of the mind having control over something outside like a spoon or a plate, in biofeedback, the mind controls the body. It does not mean just hand movements or twitching the leg, it means taking control of involuntary actions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.
Biofeedback is probably one of the oldest forms of behavioral therapy. It started in the 40s as research into how involuntary systems are controlled by the brain. At the time, doctors used primitive methods of operant conditioning and electrodes. Although these days' doctors use more scientific methods and modern computer equipment, the science behind it has not changed much. The model of stimulus and response are still in effect. The biofeedback of today is helpful in many different addiction therapies. In order to understand the way biofeedback works there are several things that you should know about its process and what it is used for.
Brainwave biofeedback therapy helps people control their body and mind through complex scientific processes.
According to the Mayo Clinic, biofeedback is a way to learn to control your body, including emotions, muscles, pain, and other ailments. It involves using computers to sense subtle changes in each system measured. It has a wide range of diagnostic and practical applications in the world of rehabilitative medicine and psychology. The feedback sensors give you the ability to sense changes in your body so you can duplicate these changes later on, for the same effect. There are many actions and reactions that the sensors can monitor such as heart rate, muscle movement, and breathing. These subtle changes like tensing or relaxing muscle groups help you to study how your body reacts to specific stimuli such as anxiety or stress. One of the reasons people use biofeedback is to make involuntary reactions, voluntary. Others use biofeedback to obtain better control of their reactions and emotions.
A person is craving a particular drug. The therapist hooks them to a biofeedback machine and measures some of the body's systems. The therapist then shows them what the craving looks like as biofeedback. The therapist then teaches a variety of relaxation techniques to calm the body and ease the craving. Then he or she takes another reading. This shows the person how their body responds to cravings and what it feels like to back those cravings down to a more comfortable level.
After doing this several times over several days the patient slowly learns how to control their involuntary response to the craving. Once they learn that control, they can duplicate it on their own.
temperature at various points on the body.
The information recorded depends on the equipment used. According to the National Library of Medicine's Medline Service, most biofeedback is intended to change behaviors and strengthen the minds control over the body. By recording all of these responses, you can view the baseline results and then physically see what the relaxation or deep breathing techniques do for you. It gives recovering addicts a clear picture of the changes going on while they are working on backing down their anxiety or cravings.
may help you control the amount of pain you are in.
These benefits combine to help you realize that your life is under your control. Many addicts feel a feeling of helplessness when they are in recovery. Biofeedback helps to reduce that feeling of helplessness.
Biofeedback teaches you and your brain to remain calm in high stress situations. It has been said to improve the rate of recovery in addicts who are serious about treatment. It can improve your ability to focus, reduce impulsive behavior, and regulate stress levels. When the mind is more focused, it improves mood, sleep, and control over a variety of situations.
All of these therapies offer recovering addicts tools relax when they are craving their drug of choice. Many addicts turn to drugs in times of stress. The most dangerous time for an addict is confronting the situations that they normally would use their drug of choice. When they normally would be under stress and anxious, the relaxation techniques are employed as a way to prevent drug relapse and calm them in a positive way.
teaching you to deal with some conditions in a natural way.
Each of these benefits helps you to recover in a positive way. After an addiction, a doctor might recommend you stay away from prescription medications and learn more natural ways of controlling stress, pain, or anxiety. Biofeedback is an excellent tool for this.
The drawbacks to biofeedback are minimal. There are no known side effects to the actual process. One of the main drawbacks that patients list is that biofeedback is a lot of work. It requires introspection, learning, and concentration for it to work with the different types of therapy. It is an active treatment that requires the participation and concentration of the recovering addict.
Some addicts have a difficult time facing the reality of their addiction so quieting techniques are particularly hard. When faced with positive evidence of biological changes, some addicts feel threatened and defensive. Biofeedback sometimes produces the same anxious reaction that behavioral modification has in some patients. Both treatment techniques are difficult when the recovering addict starts to delve into the true issues behind their addiction.
Another common complaint about biofeedback is that it is almost always combined with other therapies. Both biofeedback and the accompanying therapy have to work together. Biofeedback might not produce positive results on its own.
There is traditional biofeedback and then there is a treatment called neurofeedback, which is based on biofeedback. Neurofeedback uses an Electroencephalograph machine that monitors brain activity during certain situations. This creates a brain map. Therapists use this physical map to target areas of negative thinking and negative coping strategies. Then they retrain the person to a more positive thought pattern. Neurofeedback uses some of the same techniques and behavior modification as biofeedback just with more of a concentration on the brain instead of the whole body.
Benzodiazepine addicts – the anxiety associated with withdrawal from benzodiazepines is often calmed by biofeedback and relaxation techniques. Biofeedback shows benzodiazepine addicts how to control the anxiety instead of taking medication for it.
Opiate addicts – opiate addiction often begins because of chronic pain. Therapists can use biofeedback to help them reduce the ambient pain they feel all of the time. This reduces their dependence on opiates and the anxiety associated with not having them.
Methamphetamine addicts – prolonged use of meth amphetamine or crystal meth produces involuntary muscle contractions. In recovery, these muscle contractions turn into a form of twitch. Biofeedback teaches recovering addicts how to control these involuntary movements and reduces the embarrassment they cause.
Cocaine addicts – cocaine addicts often have issues with invasive habits and lack of sleep. The invasive habits can be identified using biofeedback. Once they are identified, a therapist can help the recovering addict retrain these habits before they become more of an issue. It can also help with insomnia and hyposomnia by teaching the recovering addict how to establish normal sleep patterns and rhythms.
Stimulant addicts – most addictions to stimulants start with the need to be awake after receiving too little sleep. Biofeedback helps to establish a good sleep wake cycle. When the recovering addict is getting enough sleep, they usually do not relapse back to stimulants.
Biofeedback helps to address some of the issues that started the addiction in the first place. With these behaviors gone, the addict loses their need for the drug. After this is accomplished, there is usually only the physical withdrawal to contend with.
Although biofeedback is a controversial treatment, it is definitely worth trying if other therapies alone do not work. It tells therapists about the physical side of what you are feeling, then they can design a treatment plan or program to help you deal with your emotions, pain, or other withdrawal symptoms.. It also helps you take control of your thoughts, your actions, and your life. It is one more tool that therapists use to help you beat your addiction.
