Preparing for cold and flu season can do more than just help stave off the worst of the sniffles – it will also help protect your hearing.
Many people don't realise that a bad flu might permanently damage hearing.
While it is rare, the flu virus can affect the nerves in the ear. More commonly, we find that people come to us for hearing assessments after discovering that hearing has not returned to normal after suffering from a cold or flu.
Blocked or 'stuffy' ears is a typical side effect of a cold and flu. This occurs when congestion builds up in the middle ear, which makes it hard for sound waves to travel through the ear.
Compounding the misery is when tubes in the back of the throat, called eustachian tubes, become blocked. These regulate the air pressure in the middle ear and when they become blocked, sound and speech become muffled.
When does it become serious?
If you suffer sudden severe loss of hearing when you have a cold or flu, then do not delay in making a doctor's appointment.
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is very serious and is sometimes overlooked because it is masked by congestion which can also cause temporary hearing loss.
If you find that your hearing loss occurs rapidly – over a period of a couple of days – and it is mainly affecting one ear, then make an urgent appointment to see your doctor. The good news is the condition can be successfully treated with early intervention.
Another type of hearing loss is called conductive hearing loss and symptoms include balance problems and ringing in the ears called tinnitus. Those conditions improve rapidly once you start recovering from the cold or flu. If they don't disappear after a couple of weeks, do see your doctor to rule out any other serious condition.
We have a number of recommendations to help ensure you and your hearing is protected in preparation for cold and flu season.
This will help identify your baseline hearing levels. Nearly a third of all Australians will have some kind of hearing loss at age 50. Over 60 years of age that number jumps to 58% and for those over 70, the figure is 74%.
Having blocked ears due to a cold and flu with make any hearing loss even more acute.
A diet with a good variety of fruit and vegetables is a good way to help look after your health – and your hearing!
Peak flu season in Australia is between June and September. Book your flu shots in late April and into May. The benefits of the vaccine starts to wear off after three to four months, so you want to have maximum protection.
Make sure you eat well and get plenty of rest. Feeling run down may be a sign that your immune system is trying to ward something off.
Maintaining good general health is particularly important if you have autoimmune conditions.
Sneezes spread diseases and is a common symptom of the common cold.
A cold may have some of these symptoms but not to the same severity. Typically, sore throats and sneezing are the most obvious markers of a cold.
Your hearing aids should be treated as an extension of your ears, so make sure they are cleaned regularly. If you get an ear infection you don't want to risk reinfecting your ears with bacteria.
Reduce the chances of getting an ear infection by keeping your ears warm and dry – particularly if you're outdoors in bitterly cold weather.
If you get an ear infection, give your ears a chance to recover and get as much air circulating around them as possible. During a severe cold or flu, you may need to take your in-the-air hearing aids out from time to time to ensure enough air is reaching the eardrum.


People in Hong Kong have been talking about typhoon Megi all week long. Much to the disappointment of the general working population, Megi's now not scheduled to arrive until Saturday night, mostly bypassing Hong Kong.
What use is a typhoon, if it doesn't get you a day off of work? People here are plenty disappointed!
Despite the employee let-down, businesses had been taking the threat of Megi very seriously. Walking down Wyndham Street Thursday night, most of the stylish boutiques had their windows taped (a typhoon precaution,) and a few even had sandbags piled up in front of their doors.
In my experience, the weather is usually worse the day following the typhoon, than during the actual typhoon. People have been lulled into thinking that typhoons are no big deal, as we've been spared a major one for about a decade. However, the satellite imagery and news of a "super-typhoon" were enough to get people stock-piling food and water this time around.
Here's a video I shot of a typhoon in Lan Kwai Fong last year. This wasn't a major typhoon, but as you can see (and hear,) the wind was very strong!

If you are trying to help a loved one with a life-controlling problem, you must first reach a point of accepting the reality of their situation. Only then will you feel free to turn your loved one over to God. This is a time when you are able to detach yourself from the one you love so much. You will be able to truly lean on and trust in the Lord—and stop depending on yourself to fix your struggling loved one.
he "came to his senses" (verse 17). He finally was ready to take responsibility for his behavior. He showed humility and took positive action (verses 18-20). He returned home and confessed his sin toward his father and heaven.
This father had faith that his son would return. Although he showed compassion, there is no record of his enabling his son. He allowed the son to be responsible for his own actions.

Die Prosopographie der mittelbyzantinischen Zeit (abgekürzt PmbZ) ist ein Projekt der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Sie erstellt ein Personenlexikon des Byzantinischen Reiches für die Zeit von 641 n. Chr. bis 1025. Es schließt damit an die Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire an. Das umfangreiche Projekt ist in zwei Abteilungen gegliedert: Die erste hat die Zeit von 641 bis 867 bearbeitet, die Ergebnisse (11.500 Personen und Personengruppen) wurden 1998–2002 veröffentlicht. Die zweite Abteilung ist 2013 erschienen und enthält etwa 10.200 Artikel. Es ist das ausführlichste und wichtigste prosopographische Hilfsmittel für die mittelbyzantinische Zeit. Von der begleitenden Reihe Berliner Byzantinistischen Studien erschienen bisher sechs Bände.

Geschichte
Die Wiederaufnahme des Vorhabens Prosopographia Byzantina, das bereits von der Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR angedacht war, ergab sich nach der Deutschen Einheit und der Gründung der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. In den Jahren 1992 bis 1994 wurde das Projekt unter Federführung des Byzantinisten Ralph-Johannes Lilie vorbereitet und an die modernsten technischen Standards angepasst. Die Aufnahme der Einträge erfolgt über eine Datenbank, die im Sommer 1998 einen umfassenden Kontrolldurchgang für die erste Abteilung erfuhr. Diese Abteilung wurde in fünf Bänden publiziert (1998–2002). Seit dem 1. August 2006 stellt die PmbZ einen Online-Index der ersten Abteilung bereit. Aus diesem Anlass war das Projekt im August 2006 Projekt des Monats der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften.

Die Arbeit an der zweiten Abteilung wurde nach Abschluss der ersten (2002) aufgenommen. Die zweite Abteilung erscheint im Gegensatz zur ersten Abteilung nicht sukzessiv, sondern erschien geschlossen im Februar 2013 in acht Bänden in gedruckter Form. Lediglich ein vorangestellter Band mit Prolegomena war bereits 2009 erschienen.

Seit 2013 bietet der Verlag Walter de Gruyter über seine Homepage auch die Prosopographie der mittelbyzantinischen Zeit Online an. Es handelt sich ursprünglich um ein kostenpflichtiges Angebot, das alle Lemmata der PmbZ einschließlich nachträglicher Ergänzungen enthält; die Datenbank ist derzeit im Rahmen des Open-Access-Angebots des Verlags frei zugänglich.

Projektleiter war bis 2007 Friedhelm Winkelmann, von 2007 bis 2012 Günter Prinzing. Leiter der Arbeitsstelle war von 1992 bis 2012 Ralph-Johannes Lilie. In dem Projekt waren vier hauptamtliche Mitarbeiter beschäftigt: Ralph-Johannes Lilie (1992–2013), Claudia Ludwig (1992–2011), Thomas Pratsch (1994–2011), Ilse Rochow (1992–1998), Beate Zielke (1998–2011), zu denen bis zu zwei weitere Mitarbeiter kamen, die für kürzere Zeiträume angestellt wurden: Bettina Krönung, Harald Bichlmeier (zwischen 2004 und 2009). Außerdem gab es diverse ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter, Hilfskräfte und Praktikanten. Zu externen Mitarbeitern des Projekts zählen Wolfram Brandes, Daniel Föller sowie Alexander Beihammer.

Bullying incidents are no longer limited to the playground or the locker room. Cyberbullying, the latest form of bullying sweeping across middle and high schools, is pervasive. And the recent rash of suicides by kids who've been mercilessly cyberbullied certainly sets off alarm bells. Keeping up with technology can seem overwhelming and induce a sense of helplessness in even the most seasoned parent. While you can't control every aspect of technology, below are some ideas that can help combat cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying is any type of harassment, taunting, or threats that are done via numerous forms of social media. With so many apps and websites available, with a click of a button, a humiliating message can be spread quickly to thousands, even millions of people. Kids can take pictures and videos of a peer, edit, and post them on sites that allow friends and strangers to pass judgment, sometimes in the cruelest of ways.
Too often, kids think posting an embarrassing photo of someone or making a snide remark is funny, without thinking through the consequences or the feelings of a peer. They may not even define what they are doing as a form of bullying.
Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can occur anywhere, anytime, 24/7. As a result, the impact and potential for damaging consequences are far greater.
Don't assume anything. Don't assume that your child will never participate in cyberbullying, or that they wouldn't dream of joining in with "those mean kids." The truth is that all kids, even the kindest ones, can get swept up in the moment when a group is viewing a threatening video on YouTube or reading a nasty post on Facebook.
The difference between cyberbullying and traditional bullying is that a child may feel greater empathy or embarrassment if they are witnessing someone being hurt right in front of them. With cyberbullying, the harmful acts may not seem "real," as the child is so removed from the actual situation. This, plus the impulsivity of all kids, makes it much easier for even the nicest children to hit the "send" button.
Communicate…a lot. The best way to combat cyberbullying is to have regular conversations with your child about it and to discuss concrete examples. Too often, kids think posting an embarrassing photo of someone or making a snide remark is funny, without thinking through the consequences or the feelings of a peer. They may not even define what they are doing as a form of bullying.
Make your expectations very clear. "I expect you to not join in if your friends are posting mean things online. If they are bullying someone on Facebook, I expect you to tell me about it, and we can decide what to do." Making your children aware that you will not tolerate their involvement in bullying anyone is an important parenting skill.
Don't throw your hands up and say "kids will be kids." As in regular bullying, too often, parents of kids who engage in cyberbullying chalk it up to "kids being kids," suggesting that it will teach the victim to "toughen up" or that their child "was just horsing around." This thinking is not only dangerous for your child and the victim, but also suggests a lack of parenting responsibility and control.
If you find yourself taking a cavalier attitude toward your child's role in cyberbullying, ask yourself the following questions: What if my child was at the center of these embarrassing/threatening/harassing social media posts? Would I feel it was still innocent and kids were just being kids? What if I was the target of such posts? What if someone showed this sort of aggression towards me in person? Would I find it humorous, innocent, or all in jest? Bullying is bullying, period. If your child is involved and you turn the other way, you are complicit in their poor behavior.
Don't ignore the technology just because you don't understand it. Many parents do not oversee the role technology is playing in their child's life because they don't understand it. However difficult you may find technology, this is not an excuse to let your child loose in the world of social media. If you don't understand the latest devices or don't know about the social media kids use (Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc.), start talking to someone who can help you. This can be your child, one of their friends, or someone at your local library who teaches technology. The point is, children are several steps ahead when it comes to technology and social media, so it is up to us parents to be on their heels in order to understand what they are doing.
If your child is the target of cyberbullying, approach it with your child immediately. Your child may shut down, feel embarrassed, or say they can handle it, but it is imperative that you stay involved until there is a resolution.
A first step is to view whatever has been posted online; then discuss it with your child, while remaining calm. Kids often don't divulge cyberbullying because parents tend to overreact. The thought of their parent calling another child out, talking to the parents, or taking away technology is terrifying, so they choose to stay quiet. During this difficult time, respond to your child without judgment, blame, or attempts to fix this for them.
Be empathic and acknowledge how painful this is. Assure them that this is not their fault and that you support them.
Also, and this part is imperative, ask your child if they've retaliated in any way. It is extremely important to discuss with them that, while tempting, retaliation will land them in as much trouble as the perpetrator, so encourage complete transparency of their actions during this time.
You may need to contact the school if the cyberbullying does not stop. Alert the principal, guidance counselor, and any mental health workers the school provides. Print out all forms of online harassment or threats that your child has received. Many times, schools will say they can't get involved with cyberbullying because it takes place off campus and after school hours. While legally schools may not be required to insert themselves between bully and victim, they can and should provide consequences for students who cyberbully.
Lastly, if your child is in imminent danger of being harmed or is threatened with physical assault, contact the local police immediately, taking all physical evidence with you.
Watch your own social media use. Sadly, many parents engage in similar cyberbullying tactics, using technology to harass, bully, or embarrass others. If you find yourself making snarky comments on Facebook, sending out mean-spirited tweets, or posting something you know will embarrass someone, you are setting the stage for your child to do the same. Exercising self-control and thinking before posting or responding will help you—and your child—be better users of technology.
Many parents of older kids don't see this as necessary, since their child will be an adult soon anyhow, so why bother enforcing something that will just cause an argument? Here's why: kids who have no boundaries set for them are more likely to view inappropriate websites, feel more attached to their electronics, and have more time to be a part of cyberbullying. It's not easy setting limits with your teen, but it's necessary to keep them safe.
Check and then re-check. Many parents give their child free reign on all electronic devices, especially as they grow up. Sadly, it is during the middle and high school years that cyberbullying takes place and when teenagers are the most impulsive. Remember, while your teen may be able to drive a car and make good grades, their brains are still under-developed, making this a prime time for them to become involved in poor decision making.
Make a contract with your child that you will check their browser history when you deem fit (and be sure to routinely check it!) and that they must allow you to "friend" or "follow" them on social media sites so that you can see what they—and their friends—are posting. During homework time, check the browser (on the computer, laptop, phone, tablet, what have you) to make sure they are actually doing homework. Naturally your teen will cry foul at this, but you can remind them that you are the parent, and loving parents want to keep their kids safe.
Like most advances of the 21st century, technology has brought about enormous benefits for those of us who use it regularly. But with those benefits are a whole slew of potential problems—with cyberbullying leading the list. Parents can't control everything that comes into their child's technological world, but by being open, available, calm, and involved, your child has the best shot possible at remaining safe and protected in today's world.

L'Accademia del Frignano "Lo Scoltenna" promuove la letteratura, la scienza e l'arte, con particolare riguardo al Frignano, e le diffonde mediante eventi e pubblicazioni. Ha sede a Pievepelago, nell'Appennino modenese, dove è stata fondata nel 1902. Ha personalità giuridica, riconosciuta con il Decreto del Presidente della Repubblica n° 1139, del 26-11-1969 - G.U. n° 39 del 13-02-1970. Lo statuto ha ottenuto l'approvazione dal Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione e la società è regolarmente iscritta al n. 22 P.G. del Tribunale di Modena.
Prende la sua denominazione dal torrente Scoltenna, che nasce nell'alto Appennino modenese e, attraversata Pievepelago, confluisce nel Panaro.

L'attività principale è la promozione di studi territoriali relativi al Frignano, di cui vengono organizzate presentazioni pubbliche a cadenza periodica.

Dal 1958, inizialmente su iniziativa di Carlo Bo, l'accademia organizza, insieme ad altri enti, il Premio Letterario Frignano, che offre un riconoscimento ai migliori autori di narrativa per adulti e ragazzi a livello nazionale. Dal 2002 consegna annualmente il premio "Accademia 'Lo Scoltenna'" ad un frignanese che si sia distinto, a livello nazionale o internazionale, nel proprio ambito di competenza.
A cadenza biennale, insieme ai Comuni di Fiumalbo e Pievepelago assegna i premi "Voltina d'oro" e Fontana d'la piazza" per componimenti di poesia dialettale provenienti da tutta l'Italia.

L'attività di pubblicazione degli studi è iniziata nel 1902 con gli "Atti e memorie", seguita dal 1956 da "Rassegna Frignanese". Dal 2009 è iniziata la pubblicazione in rete degli studi stessi e di una sezione particolarmente ricca di documentazione per il periodo seicentesco e del secolo successivo. Di quest'ultima, il filone più importante sono gli scritti relativi ad un friganese illustre a livello internazionale: Raimondo Montecuccoli, comandante delle armate imperiali alla battaglia della Raab. In particolare, sono presenti gli scritti di Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato sulla vita del grande generale.
Altro autore seguito dall'Accademia è Girolamo Tiraboschi.
Oltre agli studi storici, di fatto prevalenti, altra sezione di rilievo è quella degli studi naturalistici riguardanti l'Appennino modenese. Insieme al Lions Club di Pavullo e del Frignano, l'accademia ha in proprietà il Museo naturalistico del Frignano, allestito presso il Castello di Montecuccolo.
Ridotta, ma in fase di espansione, è la raccolta di studi su altri aspetti attuali del territorio.

Opere in linea
Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato Historia delle guerre di Ferdinando II e Ferdinando III Imperatori e del Re Filippo IV di Spagna contro Gustavo Adolfo Re di Svetia e Luigi XIII Re di Francia  edizione di Bologna, 1641

Oath Keepers boss guilty of seditious conspiracy in Jan. 6 case
Stewart Rhodes

By Lindsay Whitehurst, Alanna Durkin Richer and Michael Kunzelman - Associated Press - Tuesday, November 29, 2022
WASHINGTON — Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted Tuesday of seditious conspiracy for a violent plot to overturn Democrat Joe Biden's presidential win, handing the Justice Department a major victory in its massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
A Washington, D.C., jury found Rhodes guilty of sedition after three days of deliberations in the the nearly two-month-long trial that showcased the far-right extremist group's efforts to keep Republican Donald Trump in the White House at all costs.
The rarely used, Civil War-era charge calls for up to 20 years behind bars.
Rhodes didn't go inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, but was accused of leading a plot that began shortly after the 2020 election to wage an armed rebellion to stop the transfer of presidential power.
Through recordings and encrypted messages, jurors heard how Rhodes rallied his followers to fight to keep Trump in office, warned of a possible "bloody" civil war and expressed regret that the Oath Keepers didn't bring rifles to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
In an extraordinary move, Rhodes and two other defendants took the stand in their defense, opening themselves up to intense questioning from prosecutors. Rhodes told jurors there was no plan to attack the Capitol and insisted that his followers who went inside the building went rogue.
On trial alongside Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, were Kelly Meggs, leader of the Florida chapter of the Oath Keepers; Kenneth Harrelson, another Florida Oath Keeper; Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer from Virginia; and Jessica Watkins, who led an Ohio militia group.

Projekt W-50 powstał w 1969 roku. Maszyna swoim układem konstrukcyjnym przypominała śmigłowiec Jak-24, w obydwu śmigłowcach zastosowano podłużny układ dwuwirnikowy. Odmienny od preferowanego przez wytwórnie układu Kamowa. Prawdopodobnie przyczyną wyboru takiego rozwiązania był zespół konstruktorów Jakowlewa odpowiedzialny za budowę Jak-24, który przeszedł do biura Kamowa. Z racji zastosowanego układu napędowego, maszyna miała wydłużoną sylwetkę z kabiną załogi w układzie tandem, przypominającą kokpit w śmigłowcu Mi-24. Pod kadłubem miała znajdować się wieżyczka strzelecka. Na wysokości kabiny, po obydwu stronach kadłuba umieszczono relatywnie dużej rozpiętości belki, na których miało znajdować się sześć wyrzutni przeciwpancernych pocisków rakietowych. Belki pełniły również funkcję skrzydeł  odciążające wirniki w wytwarzaniu większej siły nośnej. Za kabiną załogi znajdował się rozbudowany przedział desantowy, który w toku prac projektowych uległ zmniejszeniu. Śmigłowiec miał być zdolny do lotu z prędkością ponad 400 km/h. Brak zainteresowania ze strony wojsk lądowych i marynarki wojennej, wstrzymał wszelkie prace.

Planet Formation Around Binary Star
By National Radio Astronomy Observatory | February 16, 2016
Artist impression of the HD 142527 binary star system based on data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The rendition shows a distinctive arc of dust (red) embedded in the protoplanetary disk. The red arc is free of gas, suggesting the carbon monoxide has "frozen out," forming a layer of frost on the dust grains in that region. Astronomers speculate this frost provides a boost to planet formation. The two dots in the center represent the two stars in the system. CREDIT Credit: B. Saxton (NRAO/AUI/NSF)
Using ALMA, astronomers have taken a new, detailed look at the very early stages of planet formation around a binary star. Embedded in the outer reaches of a double star's protoplanetary disk, the researchers discovered a striking crescent-shape region of dust that is conspicuously devoid of gas. This result, presented at the AAAS meeting in Washington, D.C., provides fresh insights into the planet-forming potential of a binary system.
Astronomers struggle to understand how planets form in binary star systems. Early models suggested that the gravitational tug-of-war between two stellar bodies would send young planets into eccentric orbits, possibly ejecting them completely from their home system or sending them crashing into their stars. Observational evidence, however, reveals that planets do indeed form and maintain surprisingly stable orbits around double stars.
To better understand how such systems form and evolve, astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) took a new, detailed look at the planet-forming disk around HD 142527, a binary star about 450 light-years from Earth in a cluster of young stars known as the Scorpius-Centaurus Association.
The HD 142527 system consists of a main star a little more than twice the mass of our Sun and a smaller companion star only about a third the mass of our Sun. They are separated by approximately one billion miles: a little more than the distance from the Sun to Saturn. Previous ALMA studies of this system revealed surprising details about the structure of the system's inner and outer disks.
"This binary system has long been known to harbor a planet-forming corona of dust and gas," said Andrea Isella, an astronomer at Rice University in Houston, Texas. "The new ALMA images reveal previously unseen details about the physical processes that regulate the formation of planets around this and perhaps many other binary systems."
Planets form out of the expansive disks of dust and gas that surround young stars. Small dust grains and pockets of gas eventually come together under gravity, forming larger and larger agglomerations and eventually asteroids and planets. The fine points of this process are not well understood, however. By studying a wide range of protoplanetary disks with ALMA, astronomers hope to better understand the conditions that set the stage for planet formation across the Universe.
ALMA's new, high-resolution images of HD 142527 show a broad elliptical ring around the double star. The disk begins incredibly far from the central star — about 50 times the Sun-Earth distance. Most of it consists of gases, including two forms of carbon monoxide (13CO and C180), but there is a noticeable dearth of gases within a huge arc of dust that extends nearly a third of the way around the star system.
This crescent-shaped dust cloud may be the result of gravitational forces unique to binary stars and may also be the key to the formation of planets, Isella speculates. Its lack of free-floating gases is likely the result of them freezing out and forming a thin layer of ice on the dust grains.
"The temperature is so low that the gas turns into ice and sticks to the grains," Isella said. "This process is thought to increase the capacity for dust grains to stick together, making it a strong catalyst for the formation of planetesimals, and, down the line, of planets."
"We've been studying protoplanetary disks for at least 20 years," Isella said. "There are between a few hundred and a few thousands we can look at again with ALMA to find new and surprising details. That's the beauty of ALMA. Every time you get new data, it's like opening a present. You don't know what's inside."
HD 142527 will be the subject of an upcoming paper led by Rice postdoctoral fellow Yann Boehler, who is working in Isella's group.

There is always one buddy or the other who loves to snoop on your phone. Be it a WhatsApp chat or the Gallery, the moment they lay eyes on it, it's like an open invitation. Though app lockers help to keep the sensitive apps locked up, but if you ask me, I find it a bit annoying to use. Punching in the PIN or drawing the pattern every time I want to check on an incoming message is not my cup of tea.
Nova is one amazing launcher and I vouch for its amazing customization abilities and ease of use. Adding another feather to its cap is the option to rename apps and edit icona as it pleases you. And the best thing about this method is that you can accomplish this using the free version of Nova.
All you need to do is long-press on the app and tap on Edit. Once the edit window opens, give a misleading name to the app (perhaps, Sim Tools for the FB messenger) and choose a misleading icon as well, by tapping on the icon. An icon with a cog or a wheel would go lengths to confuse your enthusiastic friend.
And nothing helps your cause more than an impressive icon pack with a wide collection of icons.
In the case above, I have used the Rondo icon pack by Benas Dzimidas. It has over 3000 impressive icons suited for any app.
If you look at the above screenshot, there would be few people who would rightly recognize the blue icon as an app for Slack.
The Apex launcher has a better functionality when it comes to hiding apps from plain sight. In fact, it has a built-in functionality to do just that.
Head over to Drawer settings and tap on the Hidden Apps option. Choose the apps of your choice and tap on save. Ta-Da, the chosen apps will be hidden from the app drawer.
Now comes the interesting part, how to access the hidden apps? Well, the easiest way is to search for the app in the Google Search app. As simple as that.
And if you do have Nova Prime on your device, the Apex launcher scenario can be replicated in it as well. Here, the option to hide the apps are inside the App and Widget drawer settings.
Once in, scroll over to drawer apps and choose the app of your choice.
So, this was how you can hide or disguise an app from plain view and yet get to access them easily. Most of the newer phones come with a secure vault these days. Like the new series in the Samsung Galaxy lineup includes a folder known as the Secure Folder which encrypts and locks up any sensitive information and apps inside it. And without verification, you can't even get the slightest idea what's inside it. The best thing about it is that you can lock up specific items from your Gallery or any individual document, just so that they don't land in the wrong hands.
So, how do you hide apps on your smartphone? Do let us know, will ya?

Hideo, in his mid-30s, still wants to be a successful manga artist. Despite having published a few of his own stories, he mostly works as an assistant for others. His girlfriend is pretty nice, and he's one of the few folks in Japan who legally owns a gun, but he's kind of drifting through his life. As news reports about violent people biting each other begin, nothing really changes. In fact, most Japanese citizens hardly seem to notice what's going on around them. (Or are they just too polite to say anything?) And by the time they do notice it's too late. By then Hideo's life has fallen apart, he's gotten out of the city (on a train ride that reminded me of the Korean film Train to Busan), and he's living the American zombie apocalypse dream: he's the only man with a gun.
Do headshots kill these zombies? Not always. Do bites cause zombification? Yes. Are zombie babies scary? Oh yeah.
Can half-zombie schoolgirls be trusted? Why are some of the zombies all twisted up and spidery, like their bones have been rearranged? How do some zombies open their mouths wide enough to swallow the top of another person's head?

No. 18 Gonzaga withstands scare from Kent St for 73-66 win

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Drew Timme scored 29 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, and No. 18 Gonzaga closed the game on an 11-0 run to rally past Kent State 73-66 on Monday night.
The nation's longest home win streak was extended to 69 games but not without a major scare by the Golden Flashes. Kent State led 66-62 with 3:38 left after Miryne Thomas' 3-pointer, but the Bulldogs tightened on the defensive end and got a handful of big plays offensively to hold off the Flashes.
Julian Strawther added 14 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:19 left that started Gonzaga's decisive run. Timme's spinning basket in the lane with 2:29 left gave Gonzaga (6-3) the lead, and he added a key defensive play blocking Sincere Carry's layup attempt at the other end.
Timme was fouled and split free throws with 1:55 left, but Malachi Smith grabbed the offensive rebound and his three-point play gave the Bulldogs a 71-66 lead. It was Smith's first basket of the game.
"(Timme) was heroic. He wasn't really looking for the ball much early and wasn't demanding it … he was splitting the defense and scoring in a variety of ways like he does," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "To end up with 17 boards is monster and we needed every one of them."
Nolan Hickman added 10 points and seven rebounds for the Bulldogs, who held a 43-30 advantage on the boards. It was just the second home game inside the McCarthey Athletic Center for Gonzaga and first since Nov. 7 against North Florida.
Thomas led Kent State (6-3) with 16 points, including four 3-pointers. Malique Jacobs added 11 points and Carry, who was averaging 18.5 points per game, was held to 10.
"I think in the second half we moved the ball well, we got some turnovers, got some easy shots and was able to give us a lead playing a great team and great program. … Unfortunately we couldn't finish it off. Give them a lot of credit for that," Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff said.
Kent State nearly pulled off a surprising upset on the road for the second time in two weeks but couldn't withstand Gonzaga's late surge. Kent State led No. 1 Houston by one-point with less than a minute to go nine days ago in Houston but couldn't make the plays in the closing seconds to finish off the upset in a 49-44 loss.
"Coach Few has told us all week that this is a great team that could go to the Sweet 16. … We knew what they were capable of and we weren't taking them lightly and we knew it was going to be a dog fight," Strawther said.
JERSEY RETIRED
Kelly Olynyk's No. 13 jersey number was retired in front of a sellout crowd. Olynyk played for Gonzaga from 2009-13 and led the Bulldogs to its first ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament while earning first team AP All-American status as a senior.
"You're almost speechless," Olynyk said. "It's just such an honor, especially with the names that you're up beside. They're unbelievable players."
Kent State: The Golden Flashes lost their third game of the season and their second against a ranked opponent. Kent State has three non-conference games left before beginning Mid-American Conference play at home against Western Michigan.
Gonzaga: The Bulldogs bounced back from a one-point loss to No. 12 Baylor last week with the win. All three of Gonzaga's losses are to teams ranked in the top 12 of the AP Top 25.
Kent State: At Cleveland State on Saturday.
Gonzaga: Host in-state rival Washington on Friday.

5. Guidelines
5.1 E-auction services carried out through electronic portal:
5.1.1 Representations have been received from various stakeholders involved in the business of carrying out e-auction services through electronic portal owned, operated or maintained by them (hereinafter referred as 'e-auctioneer'). It has been stated that in an e-auction, the e-auctioneer involved in conducting the e-auction through its portal is responsible only for the price discovery for the sale/purchase of goods or services and the result of the auction report is submitted to the client. The client could be the buyer or the seller. Participants in the auctions are sellers (if client is buyer) or buyers (if client is seller). The transaction of sale/purchase is being carried out directly between the buyer and the seller which are not clone through the electronic portal of the e-auctioneer. Further, the price so discovered can be further negotiated between the parties without the knowledge of the e-auctioneer. In such a scenario, it has been represented that provisions of section 194-0 of the Act does not apply as the transaction of sale/purchase itself is not taking place through the electronic portal.

It has been represented that in case of goods which are covered under the provisions of sub-section (1) of the said section but exempted under sub-section (1A), tax will not be collectible under either sub-section (I) or sub-section (1H) of section 206C as the provisions of subsection (1H) categorically exclude the goods which are covered under sub-section ( I) of section 206C. It has been requested to clarify if the provisions of section 194Q of the Act will be applicable in such cases.
5.3.3 The issue has been examined. It is seen that the provisions of section 194Q of the Act does not apply in respect to those transactions where tax is collectible under section 206C [except sub-section (IH) thereof] of the Act. Since by virtue of sub-section (IA) of section 206C of the Act, the tax is not required to be collected for goods covered under sub-section (I) of the said section, it is hereby clarified that in such cases, the provisions of section 194Q of the Act will apply and the buyer shall be liable to deduct tax under the said section if the conditions specified therein are Fulfilled.
5.4 Applicability of the provisions of section 194Q in ease of department of Government not being a public sector undertaking or corporation
5.4.1 There have been representations from department of the Government (both Central Government and State Government), to enquire if such department is required to deduct tax under the provisions of section 194Q of the Act.
5.4.2 As per the provisions of section 194Q, tax is to be deducted by a person, being a buyer, whose total sales, gross receipts or turnover from business carried on by that person exceed ten crore rupees during the financial year immediately preceding the financial year in which the goods arc purchased by such person. Thus, for a person to be considered as a buyer for the purposes of section 194Q of the Act, following conditions are required to be fulfilled:
(a) Such person shall be carrying out a business/ commercial activity:
(b) The total sales, gross receipts or turnover from such business/ commercial activity shall be more than 10 crore during the financial year immediately preceding the Financial year in which goods are being purchased by such person.
In case of any Department of the Government which is not carrying out any business or commercial activity, the primary requirement for being considered as a 'buyer' will not he fulfilled. Accordingly, such an organization will not he considered as 'buyer' for the purposes of section 194Q of the Act and will not he liable to deduct tax on the goods so purchased by them. However, if the said department is carrying on a business/commercial activity, the provision of section 194Q of the Act shall apply subject to the fulfillment of other conditions.
5.4.3 issue has been raised in case where any department of the Government will be considered as a 'seller' for the purposes of deduction of tax under section 194Q of the Act. In this regard, it is hereby clarified that for the purposes of section 194Q, Central Government or State Government shall not be considered as 'seller' and no tax is to be deducted by the buyer, in cases where any Department of Central or State Government are seller of goods.
5.4.4 In connection with above, it is further clarified that any other person, such as a Public sector Undertaking or corporation established under Central or State Act or any other such body, authority or entity, shall be required to comply with the provisions of section 194Q and tax shall be deducted accordingly.

374 (1) BUSINESS RATE RELIEF – The Service Director Finance submitted a report considering the level of Business Rate relief to be awarded to two ratepayers in North Lincolnshire.
375 (2) VIREMENTS 2010-11 – The Service Director Finance submitted a report seeking approval for changes to the revenue budget for 2010-11.
On 24 February 2010 Council approved the revenue and capital budgets for 2010/2011 financial year (minute 1830 refers). Since then various developments had been approved which needed to be reflected in the budget to assist proper financial control. The report gave details of virements approved by the Service Director Finance under delegated powers and those that required Cabinet Member approval.
376 (3) LEGAL SERVICES FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT– The Service Director Legal and Democratic submitted a report seeking agreement to the proposed Legal Services Framework Agreement.
The council was likely to have spent in excess £250,000 in the last year on buying-in Legal Services from the Private Sector. Buying-in services was largely undertaken either to supplement an existing internal resource or provide one where there was no such resource. This was undertaken through a variety of commissioning processes, some of which were undertaken by the Legal Service.
Legal Services were difficult to benchmark as they varied depending upon the sort of project they supported. It was difficult to be sure that the council was getting value for money from its arrangements. Further there was no opportunity to exploit the council's market position as a purchaser of services on the present ad hoc basis.
To try to gain additional value for the council it was proposed to undertake a procurement jointly with NE Lincolnshire and Kingston upon Hull Councils. In addition the councils would offer to potential suppliers the right of first refusal for the types of legal work covered by the contract hopefully providing an incentive to offer attractive rates.
A summary of the approach and the outline proposed arrangements were set out in the report.
Resolved – (a) That the report be noted and the principles underlying the Framework Agreement be approved, (b) that the Service Director Legal and Democratic be the only authorised commissioner of legal services for the council, and (c) that the outcome of the procurement be reported the Corporate Services Cabinet Member.
377 (4) PROJECT MANAGER – PREVENTION SERVICES STRATEGY – The Service Director Adult Social Care submitted a report seeking endorsement to disestablish a Purchasing and Contracts Monitoring post and to establish a Project Manager – Prevention Services post within the Strategic Commissioning Service of Adult Social Services within existing resources, and to outline the background regarding the development of a Prevention Services Strategy and delivery plan for services for vulnerable adults in North Lincolnshire.
The Supporting People Programme, launched six years ago, was designed to target vulnerable people over the age of 16 who required help and support to live independently in sheltered housing, the remit widened to include people living in private lettings.
The supporting people commissioning body had agreed to the development of a Prevention Services Strategy for Vulnerable Adults within North Lincolnshire.
The strategy would outline commissioning intentions for the next five years, aligning its priorities with the Local Strategic Partnership, Strategic Housing and Homelessness thus supporting a commitment achieving outcomes across the wider sustainable community strategy.
A vacant Purchasing and Contracts Monitoring Officer post had been realigned to Strategic Commissioning as part of the 'Fit for the Future' transformation programme. Within the current Job Description and overall purpose of the job, this post was not considered fit for purpose to deliver the supporting people realignment to mainstream Adult Social Services and the progression of the Prevention Services Strategy for Vulnerable Adults led by the Strategic commissioning team.
It was proposed to revise the job description and person specification for the Purchasing and Contract Monitoring Officer in order to recruit a Project Manager – Prevention Services Strategy.
Resolved – That the establishment of the Project Manager – Prevention Services post within the Strategic Commissioning Service of Adult Social Services be approved.
378 (5) YOUNG PARENTS SUPPORTED HOUSING – The Head of Strategic Regeneration Housing and Development and Director of Children's Services submitted a report seeking to set out the council's statutory duty to provide housing with support for young parents and their children, and to seek approval to gift land at Brocklesby Road, Scunthorpe to Longhurst and Havelok Homes to enable the provision of supported housing for this client group.
The council had a statutory duty under the Children and Young Persons Act 2008, to provide accommodation with support for all young people leaving the care of the local authority, including those who were young parents. The council also had a duty to assess the needs of any young person aged 16 or 17 who presented as homeless, and to provide them with accommodation and support, especially those who were pregnant or young parents.
At present there were 20 young care leavers between the ages of 15 and 21 who were either pregnant or had children. 35 per cent of this group's children were subject to child in need or child protection interventions.
Currently, there was no specific accommodation where high-level multi agency support was available for young parents in North Lincolnshire. Young parents with high level support requirements were placed in specialist care units of county.
North Lincolnshire Council had forged a successful partnership with Longhurst and Havelok Homes, to deliver affordable accommodation for young people. As part of this partnership a project to deliver supported accommodation for young parents and their children had been developed.
The young parents supported housing scheme would provide 6 x 2 bedroom independent homes to rent together with communal training spaces and an IT suite. The project would become the hub of all health and social care services for young parents in North Lincolnshire with a range of training and support services being provided both for residents and young parents living in the wider community.
The full cost of the scheme was estimated at £1.2m. External funding of £610,000 had been secured from the Department of Children Schools and Families and the Regional Housing Board to assist in delivering this project. The balance would be funded by Longhurst and Havelock Homes.
The full business case set out that in order for the project to be delivered the council needed to contribute a piece of land on which the scheme could be developed. Land to the rear of Brocklesby Road had been identified following a review of sites that were not currently in the disposals programme. This site had been independently valued at £150,000 and this potential capital receipt would be forfeited if the land were gifted to Longhurst and Havelok Homes.
Resolved – (a) That approval be given to gift the land to Longhurst and Havelok Homes for the development of the young parents supported housing project, (b) that a nominations agreement be drawn up as part of the legal work when the land is transferred, and (c) that the Cabinet Members for Housing and Strategic Planning and Children's Services receive update reports on progress with delivering the scheme.
379 (6) CHILDREN IN CARE/CHILDREN IN NEED TRANSPORT SERVICE – The Director of Children and Young People's Service submitted a report seeking approval to formally establish three posts within the Children in Care / Children in Need Transport Service (CiC/CiN), which had previously been undertaken in a temporary capacity and to realign the Children in Care / Children in Need Transport Service to the management of an overall CYPS transport service.
Details of the proposals were set out in the report and appendix.
Resolved – That the establishment of the Children in Care/Need Transport Team as set out in the report be approved.
380 (7) TRANSFER OF CMISS STAFF – The Director of Children's Services and Service Director Adult Social Care submitted a joint report seeking approval for the change in line management of three posts from Children and Young People's Service to Adults Social Services with effect from 1 May 2010.
Resolved – That the transfer of line management and budgets outlined in the report, be agreed.
381 (8) SCHOOL CROSSING PATROL REGRADE – The Service Director Highways and Planning submitted a report seeking consideration of an application for regrading of a post in the road safety team.
The role of the post had developed since single status and job evaluation was introduced in 2002. New responsibilities had been added and existing duties expanded to reflect changes in working practice and efficiency within the Road Safety Team.
An application for regrading was submitted on 3 November 2009. This had been considered by the relevant panel with the result that the score credited to the post had risen.
Further details and the job description were appended to the report.
Resolved – That the application for regrading of the School Crossing Patrol post, as set out in the report, be approved with effect from 3 November 2009.
382 (9) PROPERTY TRANSACTION SCHEDULE – The Service Director Asset Management and Culture submitted a report seeking for consideration, and where necessary approval, of a schedule containing the terms of all recently negotiated property transactions.
383 (10) SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY – The Service Director Asset Management and Culture submitted a report seeking approve the sale of the following property holdings: the former Ashby Library and the former Collum Avenue Car Park in Ashby.
Both properties were surplus to council requirements, had been on the market for a considerable time and were a maintenance and security liability.
An acceptable offer for both properties had been received from a single party, conditional on them receiving a satisfactory planning consent.


Trace Dynasty, under jockey Omar Reyes, winning the $20,200 Miss Ellen Stakes at Will Rogers Downs Sunday afternoon.
CLAREMORE, OK—SEPTEMBER 9, 2018—Heritage Place Futurity(G1) runner-up Trace Dynasty got her first career stakes win on Sunday when she defeated Eye Eye Captain by half-a-length in the $20,200 Miss Ellen Stakes at Will Rogers Downs. Express Train No 9 finished another half-length back to get third.
Bouncing off a troubled fourth place effort in the August 19 All American Derby trials at Ruidoso, Trace Dynasty under jockey Omar Reyes completed the 350 yard Miss Ellen course in :17.457 seconds, equaling a 97 speed index into an 8 mph crosswind.
Trainer Renee Wilson conditions the Oklahoma homebred by world champion sire FDD Dynasty for owner-breeder Kathleen O. Matey. She is out of the Streakin Sixes mare Wowzer Won. Failing to win in two starts at Remington Park this spring, the bay filly won an allowance at Ruidoso Downs prior to her All American Derby trial.
Trace Dynasty has compiled a (11) 3-3-2 record and today's Miss Ellen winners' purse of $11,630 pushes her bankroll over $237,000.
Runner-up Eye Eye Captain is a stakes winning son of multiple stakes sire Captain Courage racing for owner/breeder David Clonts and trainer Guillermo Valdivia.
Rolando Raudales was aboard the Oklahoma-bred from the Mr Eye Opener mare Eye My Alexis. The two-time Belles Stakes winner entered the Miss Ellen off a second-place effort in the Rocky Heinzig Stakes at Fair Meadows in July. He picked up $4,170 to bring his bankroll to $94,830.
Express Train No 9 led early under jockey Cody Smith but had to settle for third earning $2,371. Cosme Velasquez saddled the multiple stakes qualifying daughter of stakes sire Freightrrain B for owner Jessica Perez. Kenneth Norman bred the bay filly in Oklahoma from the Whirling Fastball mare Wildfire Express Two. Jockey Cody Smith was aboard the earner of $68,765.
Jc Wild Rose, Hadtoget, Feature Me Gorgeous, Double Eagle, Sr Fly Baby, Jessie Marie and Lil Bit Corona completed the field.


I asked a few people in a small group who Ajmal Amir Kasab was. They looked at me in wonderment and surprise, even perceivable amusement as if saying—– "Are you a crazy lunatic guy, or what ?" I prodded them ,deliberately provocative, feigning the status of an ignoramus. Sighing with egregious exasperation, one of them said—"The captured terrorist who brutally massacred innocent commuters at CST railway terminus and slaughtered our valiant cops on the horrendous night of 26/11 in Mumbai ". I clapped in genuine appreciation—seriously . They thought I was sarcastically mocking them so the response was a mere mute silence. Then I asked them—-"Who is Tukaram Omble?" This time they looked stunned , ex-pressionless, but perceptibly challenged. They easily guessed he was a 26/11 victim or an unknown daring character but were visibly unsure of specific details . Some took wild shots in the dark while others were honest enough to keep the pretensions short. Either way, barring a few no one knew of the brave assistant police inspector who even as Kasab gunned him to death, held on to him long enough till his colleagues pounced on the dreaded terrorist capturing him alive. In a sense, it was the late Tukaram and the other police constables that night that gave India it's damning evidence against Pakistan.
It has been a year but 26/11 has become a topic which invariably crops up at frequent intervals in the life of the common man in Mumbai. It is unlikely to obliterate itself by even an iota from anyone's memory—ever. Everyone I know has a story, and there are innumerable ones of those who providentially survived through some miraculous abrupt interventions. Like this girl Feroza who was all set to have dinner at Café Leopold that night till a last minute switch to the charming deli Theobrama. Of those who due to some quirky personal reasons caught a late-night local train from Churchgate instead of the traditional CST route. Of a friend from London staying at the Oberoi-Trident who chose to step out of the luxury hotel to have a quick bite at some tony restaurant in Colaba. Or my own daughter who was at Taj President at close proximity as the first shots rang and sent us all into a momentary hell of unparalleled fear . In short, 60 hours. 164 innocent people dead. But a billion scarred forever.
Sachin Tendulkar , Mumbai's own noble son and India's true-blue national icon played a Test match at Chennai a few weeks later , his emotions torn , his anger checked , his hurt so obvious. Yet his spirit was intact, as always. India was to beat England in the Chennai Test match by 6 wickets and Sachin would score an unbeaten hundred and in that touching poignant moment dedicate the win and century to Mumbai , in the process also exorcising the ghost of the heart-breaking defeat against Pakistan at the same ground 9 years before. . It was as if by some powerful divine intervention the Mumbai cricketing great was further becoming part of it's soil, sand and breeze. I still remember the gleam of hope and faith and smiles returning on tired anxious faces as after a long time the headlines looked different. At least people pretended it was all over now and it was the return of happy tidings. In difficult times, every ray of sunshine is like a lifeline.
As I write this column on 26/11 Sachin Tendulkar stands accused by some political guardians of his own city of Mumbai of letting down his birth-place. And pray what is the sacrilegious violation that Tendulkar is guilty of for which he has been severely castigated by such parochial forces? " I play for India and Mumbai belongs to all"—this is the supposedly " blasphemous" statement that the modest master-blaster uttered. Since then it has led to a vitriolic attack of the greatest cricketer of the modern international era , even resulting in virulent assaults on media offices espousing sanity. In his own home town of Mumbai, India's most lionized personality and respected role model is under siege. Sachin Tendulkar and Tukaram Omble—- two true Marathi manoos; lost amidst wilderness, literally.
I will write this piece as will several media columnists. We will all do our perfunctory anniversary activities, as if like a routine process. I will even join social groups in their private endeavors to express solidarity and say prayers . We will hold candle-light marches and observe two-minute silences for those who fell a tragic victim to barbarous backpackers not knowing why till the very end. Of those incredible heroes who emerged to become saviours for their guests and martyrs for the nation. Everyone will animatedly discuss what could have been. And promise to change and learn from the loss. But finally, as they say life will move on.
26/11 is over. But yet sadly enough India's siege continues.
it was also sad that when we remember the dead – it is the Taj and the Trident. somehow those who died at VT don't seem to matter 😦 . yet, VT, possibly, is more a symbol of the aam Indian dream – an entry to the city of Gold — most won't even be allowed to cross the threshold of Taj/Trident !
So true..and yet by writing and speaking about Tukaram Omble you have engraved his actions and his memory on the hearts and minds of many…so long as you remember him, he will remain alive. And his courage and sacrifice venerated .
Truly, one man can make a difference by his action. Tukaram did . And by your speaking up and writing, so do you..
I address this so because it is for everyone out there who does feel, or claims he feels anything about the mumbai terorist attacks last year. This year, on the 26th, my 1st wedding anniversary, I decided to spend at the TAJ. But of course, living there, trying to feel what must have really happened that fateful night one year ago, was not the motto. And somehow, I believe you cannot invoke people's feelings either anger or hurt or pain bu constantly showing them pictures with bodies and blood or sing the national anthem or call for everyone to be a true mumbaikar or an Indian, nor by lighting candles. I do not understand the motive or the purpose of this website. Are you trying to justify what is currently happening or bring down those who are opposing you.
If the government really feelis something concrete should be done against these repeated attacks on our country, should you not be taking Mr. Ajmal Kasab to task. We are here, writing blogs and colouns and making speeches, singing patriotic songs, while he is ordering for biriyani and asking for his own choice of lawyers in the jail. That person who did not think twice before he killed not one but several. He was here on a mission from god.
Sad part is, our country is so divided, we do not know whome to believe or worsip or listen to. I must say we are spoilt with too many choices. I wonder why no one says anything about that. What does Sachin's statement have anything to do with those killed, with the orphaned shildren, with the widows and those who lost everyone?
We have somehow all lost focus and perspective. Politics has become to murky and so corrupt, even the sane have lost sanity. I will not be surprised if some years down the line, Kasab is offered to sign a big movie, opposite some pretty and dumb lass in one of the underworld's own home production.

Addiction and Trauma are closely connected.
Did you know trauma is often the underlying source of addictive and compulsive behaviours?
Addiction if often considered to be a genetic "disease" yet I see there is much more to the addictive drive than simply genetics. Furthermore I see addiction as an expression of an internal, underlying chronic sense of unease and distress that is seeking to find resolution. A predisposing genetic susceptibility needs to be coupled with a "ripe" environment for genetic influence to take expression as addiction. Therefore, taking an inner exploration into how one has been influenced and affected by their environment (especially their early childhood environment) is a fundamental starting point to recovery.
Addictive substances and behaviors help us deal with unintegrated feelings such as deep sadness, anger, resentment, and feelings of low self worth. Unhealed trauma (particularly early childhood traumas) can predispose one to addictive impulses. At the very heart of addiction there is almost always emotional loss.
Substance use is only one form of addiction. If the tendency is there, almost anything can be used compulsively; shopping, internet use, gambling, eating, exercise, work, even becoming a "collector" of fine things. In a sense we all exist to some degree on this continuum of self medicating.
Addiction can be defined as "any behaviour that is associated with craving and temporary relief...that has negative long term consequences but a person continues to crave it and relapse into it, despite those negative consequences " ~Gabor Mate.
The experience of trauma is common and yet the understanding of trauma symptoms is only beginning to enter the collective consciousness.
Trauma is an injury to the entire system. It can be caused by a single event, or repetitive experiences that leave us feeling overwhelmed, powerless, confused and dis-regulated.
If you have experienced any of the following, it is probable that you are experiencing trauma energy that has become stuck.
an inability to feel at peace even with lots of meditation; prayer, purposeful relaxation techniques or "spiritual insight"
The undischarged energy of trauma can become frozen in the brain and nervous system causing emotional and physical suffering.
Hakomi is a mindfulness based method of assisted self discovery and emotional healing. It has much to offer anyone seeking more joy and less suffering in their life and is suitable for those on a quest to deepen their self-awareness and get in touch with their innate wholeness.
Somatic Experiencing is a body oriented therapy that helps heal trauma and restore balance to an overstimulated nervous system. SE reawakens the body's healing wisdom and helps facilitate awareness and release of arousal and physical tension that remains in the body in the aftermath of trauma.
Somatic Practice is an integrated somatic approach used to support recovery from developmental trauma.
It includes touch-based methods for supporting and restoring resilience and self-regulation.
