This old cricket game brings back memories of the past world cup of 2011. After tossing the coin, you will get the chance to play side by side with the world's greatest cricketers. The applause and noise coming from the stands make the game down on the court even more exciting and realistic. The game is very simple with intuitive interface and appealing graphics. There's practically nothing that could distract the player from enjoying one of the most popular cricket tournaments. Simple pick your and the opponents team and in just a few clicks start the game on the court.
I won't bother you with rules, as I am quite sure you are all familiar at least with the basics. Instead, I am going to describe this particular game controls. The lower part of the screen will be covered by the semi transparent board showing the next bowler's name. To remove that board and to start bowling you need to press the space bar button. Once you do that, the next step is to mark the point on the filed where the bowler should deliver the ball. In order to do so, you must move the blue circle with arrow keys (or wasd) and place it at the desired position. Pressing the space bar again will lock the bowling point. Finally, after a few seconds the strength meter will automatically start filling up 'the bat' shown in the lower left corner. Press the space bar once again to stop the strength meter at the desired level. This will lock the ball's speed. After completing 6 overs you will be promoted to the next screen where you can check out the statistics, see how you played so far or simply swap the existing bowlers or batters for better players.
The controls are a lot more complicated when you play as a batter. 'B' is for off drive, 'X' is for straight drive, 'N' is for foot defence and 'M' stands for 'advance off drive'. If you prefer digits you can also use these to accomplish the same: '6', '2','7','9' respectively. I really don't see the logic why these numbers exactly, but it is how it is. Too complicated batting controls are maybe the major drawback of the game. There' even more moves. You also have 'Z' for advance on drive, 'V' for sweep and finally 'C' for front foot defence. I just don't see the point of making all these moves as probably nobody will learn all of them before getting bored and moving on with the next game.
The game resembles a lot the cricket cup of 2011 . Aside from the different look, the game feels almost identical. Apparently these two games share the same engine.

Daymare: 1998
Destructive Creations / All In! Games
DAYMARE: 1998 is a third-person survival horror with hardcore survival mechanics and hard to kill enemies. It requires a strategical approach to combat and puzzles and offers a multi-character point of view on the story, revealing a deep and obscure lore.The scene is set with a secret research facility, a deadly chemical weapon and a special security team to investigate this incident with the potential to become much more than just a security breach. Follow the steps of an elite soldier, a helicopter pilot and a forest ranger, as they play out their roles in an event that transforms one peaceful small town into a deadly zone and its citizens into bloodthirsty monsters. Take the creatures down first, before looking for any clues and evidence to bring more sense to the mess. Keep track of your itinerary, as resources are scarce in a situation like this! Anything can happen when your daymares become real…
Fans of the iconic cinematographic brands and classical gloomy survival horror games of the '90s will be thrilled, seeing how DAYMARE: 1998 recreates the atmosphere of the most beloved works from the end of the millennium and places a typical yet fresh story in the middle of it. The plot unfolds through the eyes of various characters, putting players in the shoes of different personalities that will guide them through their theories and doubts about the situation. Backtracking, managing ammo, collecting lore items, solving environmental puzzles and the overall difficulty will help players jump a couple decades back and get chilled to the bone in their first real daymare.

Laurel County coaches, band directors receive pink slips
From The Times Tribune -
LONDON — Head coaches, assistant coaches and band directors throughout Laurel County received pink slips last week stating that their contract would not be renewed for the 2020-21 school year.
Each head coach, assistant coach and band director in the Laurel County Public Schools system was notified of the decision through an email that stated that their current contract of employment would not be renewed for the following school year.
The Laurel County Public Schools system sent out the following statement concerning the decision:
"The Kentucky Department of Education recommended that all athletic coaches receive non-renewal letters for the upcoming athletic season due to the uncertainty of when school athletics will resume. Per the order by Governor Beshear, all athletic and extra-curricular activities are canceled through at least May 31. Additionally, per recommendation by Governor Beshear all school-owned athletic facilities and properties are to remain closed through June 30, 2020. Laurel County Schools have a rich history of athletic success. We are home to numerous district, region, and state championships! We look forward to seeing our athletes and band students back in action and showcasing their talents. We are hopeful this will be able to occur this fall, but at this time there is no definitive timeline. We will continue to wait for further guidance from the KHSAA, KDE, and Governor Beshear."
There was also some discussion about the decision during Monday night's Laurel County Board of Education meeting.
Several coaches reached out to the sports departments of The Times-Tribune and The Sentinel-Echo expressing their disappointment in the decision to not renew the contracts of head coaches, assistant coaches and band directors for the upcoming school year. These coaches asked for anonymity as some hope to return to their jobs.
"A high school coach doesn't do it for money but for the love of the sport," one coach said. "The countless and unknown hours spent in the off-season, summer and after school will never be known and would make someone wonder why we do this for what pay we get. The things we do to help kids get recruited, keep up with their grades, be a parent to many of them, help them get jobs, and hopefully help turn them into contributing members of society that will help lead us into the future — a coach is more than just showing up for a game or practice. It goes far beyond that and there is no amount of money that can be paid for that."
"Coaches spend countless hours outside of practice and games preparation and in the off-season," another coach stated. "No high school coach gets into it to make money. Truth be known, most people would think we were crazy if they knew what it breaks down to as an hourly rate. We show up as professionals, care about the kids we work with, bare the brunt of criticism, take responsibility for how our players perform and never cry about how much we make. Getting an email telling me I would not be hired back was just another way of telling us what we do does not matter. I believe the administration believes if there is no season, then coaches should not get paid. Bottom line, we will get hired back when seasons start but they don't have to by law, to me this shows no support for the work we do. Secondly, it has never been about money to me but it does show some type of commitment to me as a person, just like a commitment I made to in the Laurel County School District."
Coaches also voiced concerns as they had had not been given any prior notification or an opportunity to discuss the decision with the administration beforehand.
"We are facing a new and challenging landscape with this pandemic, it is nice to see who has been supporting us and who does not," said a third coach. "Receiving pink slips in an email and not discussing it prior to the entire athletic staff or extracurricular activity leaders clearly shows either the administration's lack of communication and professionalism or lack of support, maybe both."

Dynasty USA and The Blue Devils are very proud to introduce a powerful audio visual teaching aid titled, Dynasty of Brass. Wayne Downey and the Blue Devils brass staff have created a powerful resource for teachers and students alike. The DVD's 5.1 Surround Sound performance examples and downloadable exercises combined with the multi-angle DVD environment are being applauded as a revolution in educational media. Featuring The Blue Devils – it's an all INSPIRING AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
What a great DVD production and concept. The well focused strategies to solve the problems of breathing, tone production, intonation and balance is a must-have for all serious band directors.
Wayne Downey's Dynasty of Brass DVD is without a doubt the finest educational vehicle of it's kind. It's a must purchase for every band director in the country. At Lassiter we plan to use the technique and warm-up program every day.
We loved your DVD brass technique program! It really improved the characteristic sound of The University of Alabama Million Dollar Band.
Your new DVD Dynasty of Brass is a great resource for teachers and a powerful learning experience for students. The performance examples and downloadable exercises are invaluable teaching tools.
The Dynasty of Brass DVD is now a part of our training program for Teaching Assistants and Section Leaders for the UCLA Bruin Marching Band. What a wonderful resource for band directors and student teachers.
In short, Wayne Downey's Dynasty of Brass DVD is awesome. Wayne's ideas and philosophies will give each of us in the marching band business a much needed reality check in how much deeper our teaching and training techniques could be.
Wayne's DVD Dynasty of Brass gave me not only the "What to do" and the "How to do it" but also the "Why of doing it". Although our British-style brass band doesn't march, the concepts are so musically sound that they have been extremely beneficial for us. This DVD is a true bench mark in music education.


"It's no good," said Bob.
He put down the manuscript and picked up his beer.
"What d'you mean, it's no good? You haven't even finished reading it."
"I don't have to. I'm telling you, with this kind of stuff you haven't a hope of winning that contest."
Bob really annoys me sometimes. "I spent weeks on that story. Went over it again and again. I thought it was the best thing I'd ever written."
"And so it is Billy, so it is. The language is rich, in places even poetic. The imagery is original and quite, quite beautiful. The ideas are thought-provoking. And, the ultimate accolade - I'm three quarters through it and I haven't figured out how it's going to end."
I eyed him over my pint, waiting for the "but". For, sure as I knew Bob, there would be a "but".
"But," Bob began. He saw me roll my eyes, and with a twinkle in his, he paused for another swig of his beer before continuing. "But it will never win the contest. You want to win the contest, don't you?"
"Of course I do. I need the money." This was true. I have the artist's lofty contempt for the beauty pageant of literary competition. On the other hand six thousand quid is six thousand quid. Furthermore, it was six thousand quid more than I had.
"Well, You'll never win it with this."
"I thought you said it was good. I remember hearing the words beautiful, poetic."
"Quite so, Billy my boy, quite so. But you miss the point. This contest is for Scottish writers."
"And I'm Scottish. What are you blethering on about?"
Bob took a crumpled newspaper cutting from his pocket and spread it on the table where the beer immediately soaked it in spreading spots, like miniature maps of China. "Remember that story I showed you in the paper. "Fair Hudden Doon Wi' the Bubbly Jocks"?"
"Exactly, Billy, exactly. It was crap. I wasted almost half an hour wading through a dismal prose-swamp to arrive at the destination of the author's single stroke of imagination. An image of a whisky-sodden turkey going up in flames to the accompaniment of a dull metaphor. Quite a striking image, or at least it seemed so after the famine of the preceding several thousand words. But then, you could make me grateful for a plateful of cold soggy chips if you starved me for a couple of days."
I looked at Bob's belly. A couple of days' starvation would probably do him no harm at all. He read my mind and gave a big frothy grin.
"Do you want my help or not?" he asked in mock indignation.
I laughed. "Of course I do Bob. But what's your point?"

Here's What Meghan Markle Has Said About Having Children
Does Meghan Markle Have Children?
15 April, 2018 by Johnni Macke
For those of you keeping track, Meghan Markle has already been married to Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2013, but does she have any children? The answer is no, though when it comes to having a family with her fiancé, Prince Harry, she is definitely on board.
Although the couple haven't spoken in length about starting a family, during their first BBC interview as an engaged couple in November, Harry and Meghan hinted that having kids is going to happen for them, but just not right away.
"Not currently, no," Prince Harry told BBC when asked about children. "But I think eventually, one step at a time and we'll start a family in the near future."
Meghan has also been relatively quiet on the subject since dating Prince Harry. In 2016, she opened up to Lifestyle magazine about her life, career, and future family.
"I also dream to have a family. It's all about balance, and I have so much happiness in my career and am fortunate to travel the world and see so many amazing things — it will also be nice to be anchored to something grounded and in the same place," she told the magazine for its September issue — which was conducted after she began dating Harry in July of that year. "Raising a family will be a wonderful part of that."
Even before her romance began with the Prince of England, Meghan had discussed her desire to be a mom with another publication. In fact, Us Weekly discovered an old interview via Harper's Bazaar that the actress did with Best Health Canada where she quickly touched upon her family plans.
In the interview, from April 2016, Meghan said that becoming a mom was on her "bucket list." Plus, she added that "I can't wait to start a family, but in due time." No matter when the adorable couple do decide to add to their group, family and being a part of the royal family is something that Meghan is ready for.
"His family has been so welcoming. I have [met several family members] on his mother's side, it's been really important to me too," Meghan said during the couple's BBC interview. "The family has been great, and in the past year and a half, they've made me feel a part of, not just the institution, but of a part of the family."
Since Meghan's future sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is currently expecting baby number three with Prince William, perhaps Meghan and Harry don't need to worry about becoming parents just yet. But as all fans of the royal family know, royal baby watch is an exciting venture, no matter who is pregnant!

Princess Beatrice Has a New Italian Title After Tying the Knot With Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
Latest Celebrity and Entertainment


WHEN MY NIECE, Isabel, recently enrolled in the Duke Of Edinburgh's International Award (DOE) it provided the perfect opportunity to assist in kitting her out for her first sojourn into the outdoors as part of the DOE's Bronze Award. This is the first of the Award's three levels (Silver and Gold follow on, with each level upping the challenge to the students).
I was keen to ensure she had some great gear to test, and I also focused on selecting equipment that was both durable but also light in weight; a weekend adventure shouldn't mean lugging a back-breaking load of gear.
Isabel's first Duke of Ed experience involved a weekend of camping that included a 13km hike. The students hiked 9km of undulating tracks to camp on the first day, and another 4km day hike the next. For this adventure, we kitted out Isabel with some of the main pieces of equipment she'd need. First off was an Osprey Ace 50L pack. This pack was more than big enough for Isabel to carry all her sleeping gear, part of the tent she would sleep in, some cooking gear, clothes and food. The pack's harness system is top-notch, while the Anti-Gravity suspension system provides plenty of ventilation for warmer days.
For sleeping, we opted for one of AGO's favourite sleeping bags – a Mont Helium 600 – that is lightweight (at only 950g) but rated down to -10 degrees, making it ideal for all-season adventures. We continued the lightweight/compact theme by choosing a Therm-a-Rest Neo Air sleeping mat. This lightweight mat (350g for a regular size) offers a 5cm-deep mattress and, when packed, takes up less space than a 1L milk bottle. Rounding out the evening/night gear was an Icebreaker baselayer top and leggings. Merino wool is the best outdoor fabric with its combo of breathability and temperature regulation.
Ensuring Isabel stayed dry and protected from both rain and wind, our final item for the trip was The North Face's Resolve Reflective Jacket. This outer shell is, again, light in weight but tough-as in construction. It uses TNF's proprietary Hyvent 2L (two-layer) waterproof/breathable fabric, and includes zip-pockets, a comfortable brushed collar lining and elastic cuffs to keep warmth in and water out.
Two pieces of kit were standouts: the pack, which was "so easy to wear and fit all my gear in," according to Isabel, and the Therm-a-Rest Neo Air, with Isabel (and some of her DOE team members) loving the extra cushion compared to the thinner mats others were using, plus it packed down nice and small.

RAY MHLABA CENTRE
TAX REBATE
Our mission is to reunite, empower and develop displaced youth to well adjusted, productive citizens.
Responding to the needs in our community
The Eastern Province Child and Youth Care Centre was founded in 1889 and is the oldest centre of its kind in the Nelson Mandela Metropole, Eastern Cape. In 1905, we moved into our present premises in Lennox Street, Glendinningvale, Port Elizabeth.
Our mission is to develop, empower, restore and reunite displaced children and youth to function purposely as well adjusted and productive citizens within their communities.
In the early 1980's the management committee, also drawn from the Port Elizabeth community, became aware of the changing needs in our society and responded with a more therapeutic approach resulting in dramatic changes in staff requirements, qualifications and structure as well as in the new cottage system taken into use in 1984. In 1984 eight double story cottages were built on the premises in a move away from the hostel type accommodation.
In total we accommodate 96 children of all races between the ages of 4 and 18 years of age.
In addition to offering residential care, our toddlers attend Haas Das Educare Centre and our learners attend 11 different schools in our immediate community. The children receive structured study time and tutoring support. Recreational and stimulation activities, therapeutic and psychological support is also provided to our children.
Two social workers provide counselling and support services to our children. Children visit their biological or host families on a regular basis with the aim of reuniting the child with a family in a community. Basic health care services are provided to the children to ensure healthy development and care.

NEW YORK – A majority of Americans believe Pete Rose (search) should be allowed back into baseball and to enter the Hall of Fame even if he says he gambled on baseball, according to a poll released Monday.
The ABC News-ESPN poll was taken Dec. 17-21, before Rose's admission of gambling (search) became public. But the poll asked whether people thought he gambled on baseball and was able to measure the attitudes about Rose and baseball for those who already suspected him of gambling.
After 14 years of denials, Rose has publicly admitted for the first time that he bet on baseball while manager of the Cincinnati Reds (search). He says he never bet against his own team.
The former slugger says in his soon-to-be-released autobiography that he hopes the acknowledgment will help end his ban from baseball, which could lead to his induction into the Hall of Fame (search).
The poll found that 66 percent of those surveyed believe baseball's career hits leader did bet on baseball games. About the same number said Rose's 1989 lifetime ban from the game should be lifted and felt he should be eligible for the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
More than half of those polled, 56 percent, said the ban on baseball should end even if Rose admitted gambling. Almost two-thirds — 64 percent — of those who said they were baseball fans felt the same way.
Of the 1,031 adults polled, 44 percent identified themselves as baseball fans.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Unmissable art exhibitions in Britain in 2020
15 April 2020 marks World Art Day. Timed to coincide with Leonardo Da Vinci's birthday, this annual event celebrates all that is good, great and ground-breaking in the art world. But why stop at one day? The whole of 2020 will see show stopping and inspirational exhibitions coming to Britain, so why not experience some world class art, sculpture or photography during your trip to the UK this year?
1. Unmissable art in the capital
Go big at the Tate
The Tate galleries have a spectacular line up of upcoming exhibitions this year, from Steve McQueen and the inimitable Andy Warhol at the Tate Modern to Turner's Modern World at the Tate Britain.
A touch of the surreal
You can experience a touch of the surreal in London this year at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which will be exhibiting a range of outstanding work from British Surrealists, while the V&A will also offer a 'mind bending' look into the world of Alice in Wonderland, in Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser.
Art of the Royals
If you're a Royal family enthusiast, you can dive into 500 years of British royal portraiture at the National Maritime Museum with this year's Tudors to Windsors exhibition, opening in April. Alternatively, head to the Queen's House to see Faces of a Queen: The Armada Portraits of Elizabeth I. On display together for the first time in over 400 years, the exhibition gives art lovers the chance to see three surviving versions of the famous portraits.
Gender and Performance Art
Stepping forward into the world of contemporary art, the Barbican will present Masculinities: Liberation through Photography at Barbican Art Gallery, which will look at how masculinity has been constructed from the 1960s through film and photography. For a taste of ground-breaking art by a world-renowned female artist, look no further than the grand retrospective from performance art pioneer, Marina Abramović. After Life will exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts this autumn, and will be the first collection of her life's work in the UK.
Big names come to Britain
The Royal Academy will also host Gauguin and the Impressionists: Masterpieces from the Ordrupgaard this spring. Showcasing 60 impressionist masterpieces from artists such as Monet, Renoir and Gauguin, it is a chance to see works that are on display for the first time in British history.
Art fans will be no stranger to the work of British artist David Hockney, and this year will see the National Portrait Gallery host the first major display of his drawings in over two decades. Drawing from Life will show over 150 works, with the subjects ranging from the artist's close friends and family to intense self-portraiture.
Marking 500 years since the death of Raphael, an artist who shaped western art and culture for centuries to come, the National Gallery will exhibit an extensive selection of drawings, sculpture, tapestry and prints, in a collection spanning his entire artistic life.
2020 will give lovers of ancient history one last chance to witness the dazzling collection of over 150 outstanding artefacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun, before their return to Cairo indefinitely. Hosted by the Saatchi Gallery, the exhibition includes around 60 items that have never previously left Egypt and showcases the incredible sights that met archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon when they discovered the tomb in 1922. Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh is on display until 3 May 2020.
2. England's exciting exhibitions
Gender discussions in the north
Female sculptors are being celebrated in the north of England this year, at both the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Baltic centre for Contemporary Art in Newcastle. Breaking the Mould: Sculpture by Women since 1945 will showcase a range of works across the park, aiming to inspire future generations of female artists, while Newcastle's Baltic centre will host the first major exhibition in Europe for sculptor Huma Bhabha. Highlighting issues such as colonialism, war and memories of conflict, Bhabha uses materials ranging from clay and wire to animal bones and wood to create striking human figures.
Newcastle will also be the home of The Enchanted Interior, The Laing Art Gallery's look into how pre-Raphaelite art depicted women as simply ornamental, and at the artists who challenged this. Another look into changing culture through art in Newcastle will be Art Deco by the Sea, which reveals the relationship between the art deco movement and British seaside culture during the 1920s and 1930s.
Buzzing cultural hubs
York is set to host a range of great exhibitions, including local artist Harland Miller's biggest solo exhibition, York, So Good They Named It Once, at York Art Gallery. If you're a culture vulture visiting the historic city, you can also check out the York Mediale, an international arts festival, with both exhibitions cementing York as Britain's first and only UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts.
Moving across the art map of Britain to the west, Liverpool will be exhibiting some major works throughout 2020. Two highlights include a retrospective of Linda McCartney's photography at the Walker Art Gallery, as well as the exciting Liverpool Biennial, the UK's largest festival of modern visual art, which spans the entire city. This year's festival is a discussion of bodies and how they connect to Liverpool and the wider world.
Colonialism, colours and craft
In addition to soaking up dramatic vistas in the Lake District, you can also enjoy Earth Photo, a photography exhibition in Grizedale Forest that will showcase striking imagery of people and the changing landscape of the modern world. Alternatively, head to Blackwell to take in The Arts & Crafts of Politics, which will reveal the social politics explored in the works of Arts & Crafts heroes such as John Ruskin, William Morris and Walter Crane.
Further south, Bath is set to host some boundary-pushing art this year, with the Victoria Art Gallery bringing an experiential exhibition for lovers of colour and bohemian Paris, as they showcase the wonderful world of Toulouse-Lautrec and other seminal artists from the period. Meanwhile, the Holburne Museum will display a collection of Grayson Perry's ceramics in The Pre-Therapy Years.
The south coast will also be offering unmissable art, as 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage – the journey that saw the first pilgrims venture over to America. The exhibition Settlement will tackle the issue of colonialism and how this is felt by indigenous people, presented in the historically salient location of Plymouth during their Mayflower 400 commemorations. And Bournemouth will take a look into the past at Russell Cotes Art Gallery with Beyond the Brotherhood, a celebration of the legacy of the pre-Raphaelite masters.

They provide open access with a focus on student success and serving diverse populations. They offer relevant degree programs, credentials and skills that serve current and emerging workforce needs. They focus on community service and applied research activity to stay connected and socially embedded in their communities.
Examples of these kinds of universities include University of Texas San Antonio, Portland State University, University of Nevada Las Vegas and, proudly, the University of Alaska Anchorage.
UAA is located in Alaska's largest population center and is open to anyone seeking greater opportunity through education. We have a relentless focus on student success and it has paid off. UAA increased standard completion of bachelor of arts degrees by 6% in one year.
The programs offered by UAA (ranging from credentials and certificates to Ph.D.s) are relevant to what our city and state workforce needs. We graduate the largest number of students in health care, engineering, business and management, social sciences, hospitality, aviation and diesel mechanics.
The degree programs we offer are a direct bridge to UAA's commitment to community and social responsibility. Programs like the Surgical Technology program, which was created in partnership with (and funded by) local healthcare leaders, help fill community needs. Our nursing program delivers degrees to Alaskans here in Anchorage and, as the University of Alaska's lead university for health education, we provide our programs in locations across the state.
Other examples of UAA community partnerships are the UAA Institute of Social and Economic Research, which is at the forefront of public policy research and often the first place that elected officials turn when they need data to support law and policy, and the ConocoPhillips Arctic Science and Engineering Endowment, an $11 million endowment that supports research projects that directly benefit our state.
UAA is not the "ivory tower," it never has been. We are proud of who we are, a university of place. UAA is accessible, engaged and connected and we care about our communities, region and state. Our people embody our mission and we are positioned to do even more in the future. I invite you to share the greatness that I have come to see at UAA. Attend one of the many open events on campus, use our library, hire a graduate, support a scholarship or take a class. That is what attracted me to UAA from my first campus interview. I took the job and I haven't looked back.

Stomach Problems and Swallowing Problems
Find explanations, causes and treatments for common stomach problems and swallowing problems below:
Most people have experienced some type of stomach problem or discomfort in their lifetime. The stomach stores swallowed food, mixes food with acids for digestion and then transports the mixture to the small intestine. Common stomach ailments include Heartburn, Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), which occur when food and acids regurgitate and cause discomfort in the throat, chest or upper abdomen. These and other stomach problems may be treated with over-the-counter medications and lifestyle modifications, such as eating healthy, avoiding fatty foods and eating slowly. Other stomach conditions, such as peptic ulcers require medical attention.
A person experiencing swallowing problems, which is called dysphagia, may have difficulty swallowing foods or liquids. Problems swallowing may also cause coughing or choking while eating, slow chewing or eating, gurgling sounds from the throat when eating, hiccups after swallowing and chest tightness or pain after swallowing.
Swallowing problems can happen at any age. Conditions that may cause swallowing problems include nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's disease or cerebral palsy; esophageal problems, such as Heartburn, Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD); stroke; head or spinal cord injury; or cancers of the head, neck or esophagus.

"When I have a difficult client, my biggest priority is listening. I let them talk until they finish. This serves two purposes: One, they get their concerns off their chest and they know I care. Two, I find out if any of their concerns are legitimate. Many times the concerns have no ground, but if it's important to the client, I need to give them a place to express those concerns. Then once they're finished, I reassure them and get back to work! This method has served me well in previous occupations as well as in real estate. Even controlling and aggressive people will be react differently when you listen!
"Prior to working with any clients, I like to conduct a pre-client interview with each potential client to ensure that we can work well together. As we all know, each individual has different needs and wants, and it's important to know that theirs are in line with yours. After our interview and determination by both parties that it's a good fit, we then proceed.
"Nowadays — as we all know — we can't always pick and choose our clients or the other parties involved in the transactions. When situations like that come up, I always try to put myself in the shoes of the party with whom I am working with. What are their struggles? What are their challenges? And how can I help?
"Often, when we're not able to connect with a client, it's because we are trying to convince them to see things our way, from our perspective. Unfortunately, this attempt is futile. In fact, it works just the opposite. You need to communicate your position through their perspective.
Understand what the client's challenge is and continue to be at peace, even if they want war.


Are we natural(ourselves) with clothes on or are we natural(ourselves) with our clothes off. How do clothes affect our psychology and/or our behavior? The answer cannot be given in one sentence, but I am patient.
We are "natural" either way.
Your clothes do say allot about you as bright colored clothing shows that you are gregarious, dark colors show that your more introverted as two examples. Now that always doesn't hold true for winter time most people wear darker clothes and that doesn't mean they they are introverts but are only wearing the type of clothes that keep them the warmest.
Many times people will wear suits which show that they are self confident and gain respect even if they do not deserve it. Those are a few examples that I can come up with perhaps others will join in and explain further.
There are also cultural effects. Different cultures have different expectations about appropriate behaviours and appearance e.g. display rules, dress norms etc. In indigenous tribal cultures, it might be a little weird to see someone walk around in a shirt. In others it might be offensive not to. In some cultures it might be assumed that your clothes get a little soiled during the day because of the type of work people typically do within the region. In others it might imply uncleanliness. These are the kinds of cues about appropriate behaviours and appearance members of a society pick-up during enculturation. If you are put in a situation where you are unable to conform to the norms, or are unfamiliar with the dress codes within a certain culture you probably will feel the effects of sticking out like a sore thumb.

I wear clothes for warmth and/or decoration.
I have noticed some people like wearing uniforms to support their sense of group identity.
I have also noticed that the more ridiculous a religion is the bigger and sillier their hats tend to be.
Clothing is very much the product of climate and culture. In colder climates, people tend to wear more clothing while in very warm climates, the opposite holds true.
The construction of the clothing, however sparse, is often a good indicator of the status of an individual within their peer group or community. In some cultures, conformity is the normal while in others, individual expression comes into play, especially as children become adolescents and young adults.
The color of clothing and adornment opens up a whole new dialogue because there is a whole language attached to color which varies between cultures. An interesting thread topic.
I think as the cultures are dissolving in cities the variety of clothing maybe on the decline. A cosmonauts space suit is also a type of clothing. I want to get in the psychology of individuals who were the clothes. What they think of themselves when they wear something trendy or otherwise? Why do they select a particular type of clothing?Why the Santa Claus dress makes us smile?Why the cop in uniforms are respected. I mean there are whole lot of emotions attached to the dress. Man being different from animals has chosen to wear clothes that are decent and evoke gentle response from the looker. I want to write more on this but I would like to get views of others first.
There is nothing that ruins an evening more than being underdressed or overdressed for an occasion.
I live in a northern rural area with dirt roads and snow. The hardest part about dressing up is shoes! Ever tried to walk up a gravel driveway in spike heels? Women are always carrying their shoes to events in little plastic bags. Skidoo boots are not terribly glamorous.
I heard an interesting blurb about funeral attire in different cultures, that white is more common in east Asian countries.
I think as the cultures are dissolving in cities the variety of clothing maybe on the decline.
I suspect you're right. Additionally a very modern lifestyle anywhere on Earth will supersede the local climate. How's the weather in the shopping mall or minivan where?
I have wondered about people a century or two ago. They took great care of their clothing, often restitching seams, buttons, adding patches, etc. Also they must have taken great not to abuse their clothes. Like, manual labourers wore clothing we'd consider "nice". Today, we accept that clothes will get trashed by hard use, so your modern carpenter wears the kind of materials you wouldn't find on coal miners of 1900. I guess because fabric is relatively cheap?
Why do we refuse to wear a uniform in college? Does a particular dress have any effect on the psychology of a person?Are under wears for comfort of body or ego?Is it possible that a person has memories associated with a particular dress?
Personal experiences- I had a professor in college who always used to wear white shirt and white trousers. I had a friend who always wore a red cap irrespective of weather. I had a friend who always ironed his clothes(even the under wear). I have a friend who uses a zip instead of buttons.
I think perhaps the first psychological aspect of clothing tends to be modesty. If you look at very young children they haven't developed a sense of modesty and thus are quite happy to be naked, this sense of modesty develops from the parents attitudes first and then the society at large which surrounds them, thus as they grow older they develop this same sense of needing to be clothed that most of us as adults do indeed take for granted today.
Given that modesty and the protection their of is our primary reason for being clothed, that indeed being primary for most of us if not quite everybody as some people perhaps do exhibit less inhibitions than others if you'll pardon the pun, practical aspects seem to then come into play about the types, colours and styles of clothing people choose. This seems to be far more about reflecting a persons image and place in society than it does really about comfort in most cases, how often do we see women in high heels because they choose to value style over comfort?
Also the same might be said for uniforms, a uniform may be far less warm or comfy than a pair of sweat pants and t-shirt but if makes the wearer feel more secure then to them this is a more important consideration and the same again goes for aspects of conformity. Many people just simply wouldn't dream of turning up at their place of work without a shirt and tie, this is because they wish to conform to the expected normality of dress code. A shirt and tie has nothing to do with warmth or comfort.
It can be perhaps most readily understood how and why people dress in a particular manner from the way others perceive them or how at least they believe others are perceiving them from the clothes they are wearing. People in uniforms can and do gain confidence from their perception of the way ordinary people tend to accept uniforms of affording the wearer authority.
Removing clothing from people is also a bit like stripping away their identity, clothes tend to be an outward expression of how a person feels about themselves but also how they define and differentiate themselves from others. Take the clothes away from people and there no longer is any discernible differentiation between people, thus everyone becomes anonymous and for most this isn't a pleasant experience as people tend to value their uniqueness as makes up an important part of their own sense of self worth.
In Canada, 9 out of 10 clothing items serve some practical purpose, mainly staying warm, staying dry, and not falling down.
The meaning of particular colors or styles of clothing differ with culture often quite sublely. In the northern half of the US, no adult male wears white leather shoes unless it is part of a uniform, as in say a registered nurse. However in the south white shoes may be considered stylish.
I dress in a particular way for work; button down shirt in a solid color or mild print, chinos, leather shoes with high traction soles, sports coat. I am the night supervisor and admissions nurse in a free standing psychiatric hospital. Every item is chosen with its psychological impact carefully in mind. I need to inspire confidence and personafy authority and yet appear approachable and non threatening. The high traction soles of my shoes are practical, when I need to move I can do so quickly and effectively. The only jewelry I wear is designed to be unobtrusive and to break away easily. I wear no rings. You see one "degloving injury" you will not wear rings either. Also rings are a pain if you need to wash your hands a 2-3 times an hour.
Can we imagine ourselves without clothes? Is it human need to wear clothes? Do we look more beautiful with our clothes on? Do we appreciate beauty because we wear clothes?
I wear clothes because without them my identity is not complete.
Never paid much attention to clothes. Wore blue jeans and plaid shirts before the Army, green while in the Army, now mostly blues when on fire department duty, bright yellow on search and rescue. When off duty I wear practical mostly natural color cargo pants/shorts, often merino wool, a good insulating layer and rain gear (I spend much time outside). It's all about Identification when on duty and function to me. Could care less about anything else. Couldn't care and usually don't notice clothes on others either, aside from a welcome mental note when girls show a bit of skin on a nice spring day after a long rainy bundled winter.
I do note when folks seem to make a big deal of what someone looks like and usually assume the one making a big deal out of it is shallow and really don't have their priorities straight.
There was one notable exception about clothing--I found it useful to pay attention to it in Iraq because it was quite useful to identify tribal affiliations.
We likely evolved our lack of body hair in coevolution with wearing of clothing--so it's essential.
Do clothes cover imperfections of our body? Do clothes give us freedom? Very interesting questions.
Certain vocations have a mandated wardrobe, as example clergy and military organizations.
Clothing is frequently gender specific and different cultures also have special clothing for various functions as witness the commercial culture that surrounds the wardrobe requirements for western weddings as just one example.
Individuality is expressed through one's choice of wardrobe and accessories, most noticeable through the late teens and early adult years.
The culture of commerce tends towards more conservative styles cut from finer cloth with attention focused on fit and suitability to occasion.
Apart from a few suits. my clothing has to be ordained with a Nike or Adidas logo.
Especially on a trip to McDonalds dude.
Where to get the cheapest and beautiful clothes?

Tribunal finds against actress dropped over Facebook post
19 February 2021 Issued by: Christian Legal Centre
The Employment Tribunal has handed down judgment in the case of sacked Christian actress, Seyi Omooba, 25.
The upcoming musical theatre star was removed from a lead role in a musical for a four-year-old Facebook post that cited the Bible.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Miss Omooba was challenging Leicester Curve Theatre and Global Artists Agency, which refused to act for her following the controversy, for discrimination and breach of contract.
The tribunal found that her Christian beliefs about marriage and homosexuality are worthy of respect in a democratic society.
The tribunal also agreed that she would not have been dropped from the role but for the expression of her belief which had been made some years before in a Facebook post.
Notwithstanding this, the tribunal found that her religious belief was not the reason why the theatre decided to terminate her contract.
The judgment appears to endorse viewpoint discrimination in its justification of the agent's explanation that it could not represent her "until she had changed her view of homosexuality."
Miss Omooba is considering her options, including whether to appeal.
Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of Christian Concern said:
"We are disappointed with this judgment, which appears to endorse viewpoint discrimination against Christians or others with conservative views on sexual morality.
"It is very clear that Miss Omooba was removed from the role because of the expression of her views on Facebook. It is not enough to say that Seyi was dropped for commercial reasons if those reasons are discriminatory.
"Free speech is under threat in our society and this is another example of someone who has lost out for expressing her views."
