After a thrilling opening week in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where Dustin Johnson won The Northern Trust in a playoff against Jordan Spieth, it's time for round two.
The Tour takes in TPC Boston once again this week for the Dell Technologies Championship, previously known as the Deutsche Bank.
This was the scene of Rory McIlroy's first PGA Tour win of 2016, which sparked a run of form that saw him pick up both the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup.
He caught 54-hole leader Paul Casey to win by two. Casey is in form with a fifth place finish last week and two other top fives in his last five starts.
Rickie Fowler won here in 2015, Henrik Stenson was victorious in 2013, and Rory McIlroy won in 2012.
DJ will be favourite this week, and rightly so, but with Spieth in form, Casey in form and defending champion Rory McIlroy playing, it is almost guaranteed to be an excellent tournament and one not to miss.
Jon Rahm was third last week and both Justin Thomas and Jason Day were in the top six – this is looking like it's going to be a shootout.
The first round gets underway on Friday with the tournament ending on Monday to align with Labour Day in the US.

A couple dances at Pine Hall on Eisler Lane, a 150-year-old barn converted to a wedding venue.
A converted barn, a venue offering three differently sized rooms or a traditional fire hall are some of the options available to Butler County bridal parties.
Brides and bridegrooms looking to book a venue need to plan well ahead, she advised.
"Right now, we are booking for 2020 at both venues," Lynn said, adding all Saturdays at Pine Hall are booked for 2019 and there are only a few Friday and Saturday dates available during Pine Hall's time of operation from May through October.
She added there are only a few open dates for 2019 at The Atrium.
The second thing to consider, she said, is what is included in the venue rental.
The Atrium doesn't have a liquor license, so the wedding party has to supply its own alcohol as well as a disc jockey and photographer.
The Atrium also has outdoor gardens that provide popular picture backdrops.
"It's very popular having outdoor spaces for photographs," Lynn said.
The venue has just been repainted and is climate controlled and handicapped accessible.
"This is the peak time of year for engagements: Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day. In this two-month period, a lot of people will get engaged," she said.
Charles Roche, manager of the Tanglewood Center, 10 Austin Ave., Lyndora, agreed with Lynn, that a good rule of thumb for renting a venue is to plan a year ahead.
"But with two or three weeks' notice so we can set up the tables, we can do it as long as we have room available," Roche said.
The Tanglewood has three rooms, the largest of which can seat 300, he said. The other two can hold 100 and 175.
"The food, decoration and music is up to them. We do have in-house catering as an option," Roche said.
"Typically for a wedding reception, they have the room from 8 a.m. to midnight," he said.
He noted that dates for 2019 are filling up fast.
Diane Baird, in charge of booking for the North Washington Social Hall, 739 Fairview Road, North Washington, said of prospective wedding rentals, "First of all they have to know how many people they are inviting to the wedding. They need to ask if tables are available, if the restrooms are adequate.
"We have a minibar available if they are going to serve alcohol at the reception," Baird said.
Baird said rentals run from 2 p.m. the day before the reception to a preferred closing hour of 1 a.m.
Baird added, "Basically I started getting 2019 reservations in the fall. If they want to know whether that date is available or not, they need to get a hold of me right away.
Photographs of the social hall are available on the group's website.
Not every bride wants to call and visit before choosing a wedding reception location, Lynn said.
"Social media is changing the way brides are planning their weddings," she said.

YOU have the power to succeed in learning and speaking Spanish!
Did you know that Spanish is not just about learning a language?
The knowledge we gain by studying another language helps us connect to the world around us so that we can better understand other cultures and their unique perspectives, traditions, and history.
This class will be both fun and challenging for you. Students who put forth the effort both in and out of the classroom will have the reward of a good grade and the ability to speak and understand another language! Keep in mind that learning a language does not happen overnight. As a result, a positive attitude and a decision to put forth your very best effort each day will lead to something BIG!


Even assuming it could be established that the ancestor of snakes today had legs, creationists have no problem in principle with loss of features through natural processes. Development of leglessness is not evidence for molecules-to-man evolution, which requires addition of new genetic information. Loss of legs could be achieved through degeneration of the DNA information sequences that specify leg development. See also Beetle bloopers: Even a defect can be an advantage sometimes.
The findings are controversial. Some evolutionists claim that snakes came out of the sea, from something like a mosasaur. Others insist on a land-based origin. The controversy still rages. In other words, the fossils are open to interpretation. Features that one group claim are evidence for an evolutionary relationship the other group say are "convergent" (not due to common inheritance, they just appear to be). In other words, the new fossil, despite all the hype, proves nothing. It will be proclaimed by some as another example of a transitional fossil, but transitional with what? They are unable to agree.
Note that the "rudimentary legs" on some snakes are acknowledged as having a function during reproduction, as claspers during copulation. See also Vestigial Organs: What do they prove?
Bible believers should be wary of rushing in with comments about the serpent in Genesis. This fossil was probably formed in Noah's Flood, hence the creature it represents was in existence some 1600 years after the cursing of the serpent to crawl on its belly.
Eitan Tchernov, Olivier Rieppel*, Hussam Zaher, Michael J. Polcyn, Louis L. Jacobs, A Fossil Snake with Limbs, Science 287(5460):2010–2012, March 17, 2000; comment by Harry W. Greene and David Cundall*, Limbless Tetrapods and Snakes with Legs, same issue, pp. 1939–1941. The articles were based on a fossil first found in the West Bank area of Israel, and recently rediscovered in a museum drawer. It was given the official name Haasiophis terrasanctus, after the late vertebrate paleontologist Prof. Georg Haas, ophis (Greek for snake) and terrasanctus (Latin for Holy Land).


We Christians are sometimes a curious bunch. We claim to put our faith in God yet so many of us are still caught up in superstitions. How many Christians "knock on wood" to avert Murphy's Law? How many Christians check their Horoscope or at the very least think it is pertinent to share what Astrological sign their birthday falls under. Many of us also have lucky charms or have other curious rituals we go through that are somehow meant to give us "luck." On one hand, we claim God to be God of all but we also seem to take a "just in case" approach by our lives in that we do things to entreat the favor of false gods. We do not need to look far to see just how wrong those actions are. Any kind of superstition is a violation of the first commandment.
These seemingly innocent and silly things we do are really a terrible wrong. You are putting another god on par or even above the true God. I hope to show just how wrong it is when practice any kind of superstition.
First let us address Murphy's Law. I am sure we are all familiar with the refrain "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong." The belief is that if we speak confidence regarding any situation, that situation will go wrong. Murphy's Law is invoked by speaking positively, dooming yourself to the idea that whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Fortunately, Murphy's Law can be averted simply by knocking on wood. If no wood is available, then we can still just speak the words "knock on wood." Who the original "Murphy" was is if no consequence as the idea of Murphy's Law has been around much longer than its name. The important thing is who Murphy is to us. If you are knocking on wood to avert Murphy instead of praying to God for a good outcome, you are elevating Murphy above God. If you believe in some law named Murphy then where does that leave God? Is even God subject to the all powerful law of Murphy? Is God helpless to keep things from going wrong once we have invoked Murphy's Law upon ourselves? I can not believe that any Christian actually believes this, but that is what our actions say whenever we speak the words "knock on wood." You are praying to Murphy and trying to entreat his favor, and by that you are praying to a false god.
And what of Astrology? Is it harmless for a Christian to check their daily horoscope? I contend it is not harmless at all. Can we blame our personality on the time of year we were born? Can we give credit to what blessings have in our life because of where the planets are now in relation to when we were born? Where is God in that? The answer is nowhere. You are elevating the creation above the Creator. It is God who set the universe in motion. It is God who determined the position of the planets and set the rules by which they orbit around the sun. It is God who created you and determined when your life would begin. As Christians, it is the Holy Spirit in us that should determine who we are in Christ. The only competition for the Holy Spirit is our own rebellion. We can not just excuse our bad habits on some alignment of the planets. By adhering to any kind of belief in Astrology, you are elevating the words of liars over the Word of God and you are elevating the creation above the Creator.
Finally, what about the other various superstitious rituals we get adhere to. Do you have a "lucky" shirt? Do you have a "lucky" seat? Do you have some routine that is supposed to somehow bring "luck" into whatever circumstance you are in. What exactly is this thing we call "luck?" Luck is a false god and whatever shirt we wear, seat with sit in, or ritual we perform to requests its favor as it is our prayer and worship to that false god. Think about it, when you put on that shirt for "luck" who exactly is that gesture for? When you sit in a seat for "luck" just who is supposed to recognize that act and reward you with your team winning the game? When you go through whatever ritual you go through to gain favor with "luck", just who is the audience of that routine? The answer to none of those questions is God. We can not petition the Lord with a shirt or a seat and we can not worship God with a silly routine. All of those are worshiping some false god you call luck.
What all of this represents, more than anything else, is a lack of faith. Do you have faith in God enough to not knock on wood? Do you have faith in God enough to know the Holy Spirit can change who you are, no matter what time of year you were born. Do you have faith in God enough to trust God with your daily circumstances and not checking a horoscope to see what to look out for? Do you have faith in God enough to not wear your lucky shirt, sit in your lucky chair, perform your lucky rituals, and trust God to just answer your prayers to Him? Your actions will reveal the true answers to those questions. If you find yourself knocking on wood or telling someone what sign you are, or if you find yourself altering your day based on your horoscope or if you think that a shirt you are wearing will affect your "luck," then I urge you to let those things go. Put your faith in something real, put your faith in God. Do not elevate false ideas, idols, and gods over the true God who can change answer your prayers. Astrology, luck, or Murphy can not change anything. They are just figments of our own imaginations at best and entreating demons at the worst. God is sovereign. God can change who we are. God can change circumstances. God can fill you day with blessings. And we do not get things things from reading a false prophesy, knocking on wood or anything else, performing a silly ritual, wearing a special shirt, or sitting in a special chair. We do not even need to kneel, though we can if we want to. All we need to do to access the one true God is prayer. So, in the end, we need to ask ourselves a question: Do we have faith enough to pray and trust that God will answer?


As per Dave and others' suggestions, I've made a few revised diamonds, only involving the primes up to 13, but extending the odd limit to also include ratios of 45, which can be pretty important.
The Athenian set also uses quite a few less symbols, so no for anyone interested, those are all simplified to Athenian precision symbols.
Hope there are no errors in this one, just been through my other two diamonds and found quite a few little mistakes, mostly involving accidentally reversing up- and down-shafts.
The same 13-prime, 45-odd limit diamond is represented in Herculean, adding some non-athenian flags, as well as the schisma accidentals to distinguish some interval pairs ~2c apart.
I have also made a 37-prime 45-odd limit diamond in both Olympian and Multi-Sagittal, but will start another thread for that, as there are quite a few more symbols for the higher primes involved - 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37.
That's great Cam. Thanks again!
I suggest completely omitting any alternative spellings from the Athenian chart that involve a schisma (approx 2c) approximation.
I thought about that, but it dawned on me that Athenian level notation already uses some other "approximations", possibly of a similar order of comma size. I had the schismatic spellings in brackets initially, but decided I'd include them as other approximations are surely already filling the diamond in other spots.

That's one of the beauties of Athenian. In the the 45-odd-13-prime-limit diamond, I think the only one that actually needs a schisma approximation is 25/7, and of course its inverse. And I don't think there are any double-mina approximations needed. See the 13-odd-limit diamond in Athenian in Figure 7 on page 14 of http://sagittal.org/sagittal.pdf. The filled notes are the approximations (all single mina, 0.4 c).

Readers debate whether teachers should be vaccine priority: 'I deserve to feel safe at school'
Many people feel teachers should get the jab before schools return.
Hannah Lemieux
Children of all ages are set to return to school at the same time (Image: Dave Thompshompson/PA Wire)
Pupils will head back to the classroom on March 8 following Boris Johnson's recent announcement revealing the "roadmap" out of national lockdown.
It also means that teachers - those who've not been teaching key-worker children throughout the pandemic - will be back at schools, too.
Many of whom will not yet have received the coronavirus vaccination before heading back, because teachers have not been given priority for the jab by the government.
This has caused mixed debate among people. Here, HampshireLive readers tell us what they think about the decision ahead of the county's schools returning.
Nicole Lelliott thinks anyone working in "people-facing jobs" should be prioritised.
She said: "Teachers, emergency services, transport workers and supermarket staff. These people have been working throughout the pandemic, exposed to everything. They have earned a priority vaccination. I think they should be done before we start on the next lot of ages."
Carol Lesley is not sure about the government's decision. She said: "If they don't want another lockdown and they really want children to go back to school, then vaccinate all those likely to catch the virus. Every school gate will be crowded with adults dropping off and collecting children - many of them may not be having their jabs until July."
Christine Tigwell is "disappointed" to hear about "wasted vaccines".
She said: "I think anyone expected to work in large groups each day - where social distancing and mask-wearing cannot happen - should have them. I can't see why any wasted vaccines wouldn't be given to the right people. They should contact local police stations, schools or supermarkets at the end of the day and say they're available."
Shan Gurr believes teachers should be a priority and said: "They may not be front line in a hospital, but they have been absolutely amazing with pupils and staff throughout this - putting themselves at risk to help with childcare and the children's welfare. I'd give up my vaccine in a heartbreak to have our teachers vaccinated."
Sheila Mackie agrees. She said: "Of course they should be given priority, along with all essential and shop workers, who have contact with large numbers of people each day.
"Just one staff member or pupil with Covid at a large school, probably showing no symptoms, has the potential of spreading the virus to those not just within the school but their families too. They have no choice about schools reopening and going back to work. I'm lucky enough to have had my first vaccination, but I would have given up my vaccine in a heartbeat for someone who doesn't have this option."
'Care-givers to children'
Barbara Boyce thinks that teachers and shop workers have "been forgotten".
She added: "It is bad, they should be a priority. They seem to have been completely forgotten - they have worked right through the pandemic, working long hours and covering shifts for ill or shielding staff."
Lara Eileen Swan also said: "Teachers are care-givers to children. They should definitely be given priority, alongside other carers."
Rich Strode said any "front-line staff" should be prioritised. She added: "A 50-year-old in good shape should not be called before a teacher or a policeman, who have to deal with numerous members of the public daily - as part of their work rather than choice. A teacher who has 30 pupils or a policeman breaking up a rave cannot socially distance."
Linda Bennett added: "If you vaccinate teachers then there is no risk they will be off work with Covid. So schools will have the staff numbers to keep all classes going."
However, Beatrice Robinson thinks teachers shouldn't have priority over other public service employees. She said: "They definitely shouldn't be first. They should be at the same time as all other public-facing employment, such as shop staff, the police, fire service and bus drivers."
'A difficult call for any government'
Michael Hill asks the question "where do you stop?"
He highlighted: "Teachers, cleaners, admin staff, kitchen staff, learning assistants, caretakers, site managers. Then you've got colleges, universities, nurseries, private education. It's not an easily definable group and, to be fair, the most vulnerable people in teaching will be covered by the existing vaccine groups. It's a difficult call for any government and there will always be a cry of 'what about me?'"
While, pupil Ruby Connor made her important point. "If you're not going to prioritise teachers getting vaccinated then don't send us back to school. I deserve to feel safe at school."
Ani Kelso explained how impossible social distancing is with children by saying: "Early years teachers should definitely be prioritised. They are hands-on for eight hours a day with at least 30 small children. There is no social distancing, no masks and limited hygiene efficiency - kids aren't brilliant at washing hands and not touching things."

Sarah Christie said it is an "interesting" debate. She said: "There are other key professionals that need the vaccine, too. If your job means you cannot wear a mask or keep distance, then those are the people who should be getting the jab next."
Alyson Drew also feels for the parents. She said: "Imagine being a parent of a child who has been mixing with a class of 29 and then coming home, where social distancing is impossible."

Because how often do you finish a work day satisfied you've given it your all?
With so many distractions with mobile phones, checking social media and chats with colleagues, it can be all too easy to meander around difficult tasks. Procrastination can often lead to stagnation and apathy towards the job. Thankfully, there are many ways of regaining control and instilling motivation. These 24 productivity methods will help boost your working day.
Look around your surroundings. If you're swamped in paperwork, cables, and blank walls, you might want to consider a change. Uninspiring decor doesn't nurture creativity. Make your space a place you want to spend time in by tidying up, clearing away unnecessary items and adding some pot plants and pictures.
Deadlines don't get the best press, but when they're realistic, they can be a great boost to productivity. If you have to finish a report by lunchtime, set a timer and see how much better you focus completing the task in hand, and avoid checking emails, chatting to your colleagues, scanning Twitter and so on.
When other people know your workload, it acts as a motivator to get stuff done on time. Make sure regular meetings and catchups are held so you can schedule end dates to projects. When you're accountable, you're more likely to stick to deadlines.
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book but writing down the list of the things you need to do really works. By seeing the number of tasks, you can list them in order of priority. You can also assign realistic times for each job.
In a similar vein, planning your day the evening before can help you start a new day with a clear idea of what is required of you. Doing the list in advance will make you feel a lot more organized when you step foot in the office the next morning.
Once you've got a grip on day-to-day tasks, start planning your week. You don't need to have a detailed view, but an outline of projects beginning and ending, appointments and meetings can give you a better insight into the flow of each working day.
What might sound counterintuitive has been proven to aid productivity. The brain needs regular time out from intense concentration, so if you schedule a break – even if it's to make a cup of tea – every 45 minutes or so, you're refreshing your mind so that you can maintain a constant level of performance.
For to-do lists and delegation, a task management system is an excellent way of outlining what needs to be done and completion dates. You can also communicate with colleagues on your progress via these platforms.
Meetings are one of the biggest time killers in the office. Some are necessary, but others drag on, meander off point and chew up most of your afternoon leaving you with no time to finish the project you were working on. One of the best ways to counter this is to have stand up meetings. Standing up gives the meet a sense of urgency.
Often we get caught up in the detail to realize the bigger picture. While some projects require perfectionism, many others can be completed with a less polished approach. If it's writing a webpage or creating a production plan, do it to the best of your ability in the time allowed. You can always come back to it at a later point and improve on it.
When the heat is on, it's a good idea to turn off notifications on social media, email and your intranet. Cutting down on the amount of noise coming through on your computer allows you to give your sole attention to the matter at hand. The less distraction, the better your productivity.
Making sure you have the right equipment to work on is critical to getting your job done. If your computer is slowing you down, or your chair is giving you backache, if the headset is faulty or the office is too warm, you should address it with management. To give 100%, you need to able to work in a comfortable environment with functioning equipment.
It goes without saying that a restful evening and a good night's sleep will go along way in boosting your productivity the following day. But you should also review your diet and exercise routine and see if you can make improvements that will enhance your concentration and stamina levels.
Thinking that skipping lunch can help you mow through all your jobs for the day? Wrong! When your day is full, your body and mind will benefit from leaving the office and enjoying a meal, even if it's for half an hour. You can return to the office refreshed and ready to face the tasks ahead.
Are you happy at work? Tackle any issues head-on, whether it's with a colleague, a process or anything else that could be holding you back from having a positive experience in the office.
Using forums on your company intranet can help you ask for help, ideas, and advice from colleagues who have more experience in the field.
Whether it's a walk at lunch or creating a running team after work, exercise is an excellent way of aiding productivity.
There's a raft of software available which allows you to cut corners. Whether it's spellchecking, invoicing, reporting, design or whatever else you need help with, research what is on the market that can make aspects of your working life a lot easier. Workflow and Forms on Interact is an example of how simple everyday processes like booking holidays or submitting expenses can be carried out in a time-efficient manner.
As Mark Twain once said, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." If you have a particularly unpleasant task to do, make sure it's the first job you do that day. The rest of your day will feel a breeze in comparison.
Mornings are most people's most productive hours. During the afternoon, we tend to tail off. This is why if you're going to have a meeting, it's essential to have them in the afternoon when you've gone through all the priority tasks in the morning.
Ever realized how you've spent ten minutes daydreaming and then spend the next ten minutes annoyed at yourself for wasting time? Don't. Just move on and understand that it's a human trait that you're working to minimize.
If you've been put in charge of a large project, it can be easy to be overwhelmed. To combat this, break up the project into small parts and tackle each part bit by bit.
Before you leave, or even on your commute home, take a few minutes to think of everything you've achieved that day. See how you can incorporate anything you have missed into your next day's tasks.
The chances are that you probably won't transform your habits overnight, and that's normal. But what helps is if you're aware of the changes you are making. Seeing the small differences build up gives you the benefit of seeing the improvements you are making. Try working in one tip a week and see how your productivity builds.

Arla Foods Ingredients Breaks Ground On Innovation Centre
Danish company Arla Foods has broken ground on a new modern innovation centre for its ingredients subsidiary, Arla Foods Ingredients.
Arla Foods has said that with its new innovation centre, it will seek to intensify its innovation efforts within its dairy and whey ingredients divisions.
The company has forecast that over the coming years, its Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) segments are expected to see a high level of growth.
Arla Foods has invested more than €40 million in the new innovation centre, which will be located in Nr. Vium, Denmark in close proximity to key production site in Arla Foods Ingredients, Danmark Protein.
The investment comes following the success of the Arla Innovation Centre, which was built in Skejby, Denmark in 2017.
The facility will be 9,000 square metres in size and house open office spaces, labs and a pilot plant. It will employ up to 90 people, including scientists, technicians and innovators.
"We look forward to welcoming more employees to this new and exciting workplace with some of the most challenging development projects in the dairy industry," said vice president of research and development Niels Østergaard.
According to the company, the new facility will cover all aspects of research and development within whey and milk – from advanced separation technologies to isolate specific components of the whey or milk, to heat treatment and pasteurisation technology to improve functionality and shelf-life.
Henrik Andersen, group vice president at Arla Foods Ingredients, commented, "I am very happy to announce that we are now breaking ground on our new game changing innovation centre. We are always looking for new and innovative solutions for our customers to help them develop new products that meet specific nutritional needs of children, athletes, patients and consumers.
"With the new centre we can use cutting edge research and technology to explore milk and whey to their full potential as ingredients for a wide range of nutrition."
The new Arla Foods Ingredients Innovation centre is expected to open in summer 2021.

This image encapsulates the development of the qualities of the archetype of the Goddess Artemis. The story starts in the bottom right corner with the meek rabbit – the shapes around her symbolizing the energy flowing inwards. There is a gradual expansion and emerging sense of freedom as you move up to the left of the image.
The golden bow and arrow, given to Artemis by her father Zeus, represents shooting for one's dreams, following one's intuitive direction through life. Artemis asked for eternal virginity, representing her desire to stay true to herself, being unswathed by the conventions of society.
The woman drawn to the qualities of this archetype will be unable to compromise her deep sense of her own values. She will follow her own wisdom, represented by the ancient symbol of the snake – worshipped in Ancient Crete as the guardians of female mysteries. She will find liberation and strength in developing a life based on manifesting the inner and this will help her feel whole. Following her heart will give her much to celebrate.
In ancient Greece, the worship of the Goddess Artemis was connected to the ritual observation of the movement of Ursa Major, the Great She-Bear in the night sky, who's tail points to the polar star and indicates the changing seasons. Just as the Artemis woman charts the changes in her own natural evolution – being true to her inner nature, she has a clear vision of the course of her life.
Artemis is a free, feminine spirit, the more you find out about her the more you awaken her courage and enthusiasm for life in yourself.


Home » What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga is a scientific system of self-investigation, self-transformation, and self-realization that originated in India. The teachings of yoga are rooted in the Vedas and grounded in classical texts and a rich oral tradition. This tradition recognizes that the human being's essential nature is unchanging awareness that exists in relationship to and identification with the changing phenomena of the empirical world.
The yoga tradition views humans as a multidimensional system that includes all aspects of body; breath; and mind, intellect, and emotions and their mutual interaction. Yoga is founded on the basic principle that intelligent practice can positively influence the direction of change within these human dimensions, which are distinct from an individual's unchanging nature or spirit.The practices of yoga traditionally include, but are not limited to, asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, chanting, mudra, ritual, and a disciplined lifestyle.
Yoga therapy is the appropriate application of these teachings and practices in a therapeutic context in order to support a consistent yoga practice that will increase self-awareness and engage the client/student's energy in the direction of desired goals.The goals of yoga therapy include eliminating, reducing, or managing symptoms that cause suffering; improving function; helping to prevent the occurrence or re- occurrence of underlying causes of illness; and moving toward improved health and wellbeing. Yoga therapy also helps clients/students change their relationship to and identification with their condition.
The practice of yoga therapy requires specialized training and skill development to support the relationship between the client/student and therapist and to effect positive change for the individual.
"From IAYT's perspective, yoga therapy is not "diagnosing and treating" health conditions. While it's not easy to summarize a wide range of healing practices in just a few words, we might say yoga therapists "assess and educate" in order to "empower individuals to improve their health and wellbeing through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga". (John Kepner, from the IAYT.org site).
Yoga Therapy centers upon empowerment and in yoga therapy the client is the expert.
Yoga Therapy is relationship-and patient-centered. It can be evidence informed but more importantly it is outcome based, as judged primarily by the client (and should of course be judged by the client in conjunction with medical consultation, in cases of recovery from injury or disease.) The yoga therapist should be in a position to understand and appreciate medical advice, but is not in a position to give it--and should be careful of the temptation to dismiss it. That is the client's choice, not the yoga therapist's prerogative. And the yoga therapist should not take the position of fostering negative attitudes or prejudices toward medical diagnosis and treatment.
Instead, we help clients develop deeper and more meaningful mind-body connections that help inform their journey towards improved health and well-being. The tools for this are the practices in which the client engages.
And in the end, those who promote the therapeutic wisdom of yoga do best when the 'big picture' is maintained; that this is all about supporting the body's own process of self healing.
What is my background in Yoga Therapy?
My journey to becoming a yoga therapist began in the early 1980's, when I was a certified personal trainer. I found I loved working one on one with clients, and developing programs for them which were uniquely suited to their needs. I constantly saw imbalances in muscle strength and flexibility, and the pain this caused. I felt as if my training was not sufficient for me to really help my clients.
First, I got certified to teach yoga at the White Lotus Institute in Santa Barbara, and then I got certified in Thai Yoga Therapy and Advanced Thai Yoga Therapy with Saul David Raye. I started incorporating what I had learned with my private clients, and also practicing Thai Yoga Therapy, as well as teaching yoga in a health club setting.
In 1994 I met my meditation teacher, Sri Maha Mandaleshwar Shambhavananda, and began to learn how to be a yogini. Of course, it is an ongoing process, but I have been practicing meditation since then, and also teaching. Babaji, as we call him, has been an absolutely essential teacher for me, helping me through life changing transformations and other difficult times and teaching me more than I can ever say. I must say I could not have done it without him. I consider meditation the ultimate yoga therapy, and believe it to be the highest and best thing I can teach to anyone, if and when they are ready.
In 2000 I met Doug Keller, one of the most brilliant and amazing yoga teachers in the world.He is the author of Yoga as Therapy, a two volume set which has been revised over the years. His approach is that the body heals itself, but we can assess and teach alignment and movement patterns as well as the whole spectrum of yogic practices. The material was immediately relevant and easy to teach to clients, and I have been studying with him ever since.
In 2011 I took Marma Point Therapy training with Dr. Vasant Lad, and added another dimension to my yoga therapy. I use the therapy as a stand alone therapy and also in conjunction with other yoga therapies.
Over the years of working with individuals (1999--present), I found myself transformed by working with them. My students have been my best teachers, and I am very grateful to be able to do this work. My spiritual practice is a living practice, and is ultimately practical in the real world. I am constantly amazed at how much I am learning and hope to continue for a very long time.
The field of yoga therapy is now emerging as a profession, and the International Association of Yoga Therapists is now credentialing therapists. The medical profession is beginning to be aware of us.
The yoga therapy components of my [instruction or practice] are based on certification with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, not derived from my status as an RYT ®with Yoga Alliance Registry.

December 20, 2017 – Lomax Holds a Meeting, Siggy Holds a Grudge & Four Days
Nathan says there's something wrong with the records. It's probably nothing, but he has follow-up questions for his mother.
Well, I don't think George Stephanopoulos is going to answer those questions, but he's suddenly on my TV.
🎥 Missing Reel 🎥
It was only ten minutes, and I figure it's not worth hunting for. Faison isn't here yet. Ha-ha! Julian says Griff seems to pick and choose who deserves forgiveness. Griff says Ava is different, and Julian asks why, because she defrocked him? Griff says she's really repentant, and wonders if Julian has ever even admitted the things he's done are wrong. Julian says Griff has no idea. He just came to drop off gifts, but clearly it's a bad time, and Griff and Ava have things to discuss. He gifts and runs.
Lulu fills Peter in on the election. She tells him about finding all the ballots, and says the polls suggested Felicia would win. He says polls aren't always right, but she says it seems Felicia's opponent stole election – how's that for a story?
Laura asks Doc how it went with Dante. Doc says he's on board, and asks about Lulu. Laura says Lulu was always supportive, but she's distracted by the story she's working on. She says Doc knows how it is when sets her mind on something. Laura looks through the pub window at the town hall meeting. Doc says he wonders where Lulu gets it, telling Laura that she's scowling while shooting hate rays at the mayor. He says her fight is his fight.
TJ, Molly and Alexis talk at the pub. Julian walks in. Molly accuses him of being on the mayor's side, saying since he couldn't destroy her mom, he's going to try to destroy the neighborhood. He says they're on the same side. He's a small business owner now. She asks what business he owns, and he tells her she's standing in it.
Griff apologizes for putting Ava in the middle. She says she's the one who did it, and he says he should have kept his anger in check. Ava says she loves her brother, but he's smug and arrogant. If he regrets anything, he's good at hiding it. What Griff said is true. He asks what about her, and she says that she's somehow more worthy of forgiveness? He says he's seen a change in her.
Nelle reads the paper at Kelly's. She remarks that something is interesting, grabs her stuff, and walks out.
Michael meets with Ned at the pub. He says if Mayor Lomax gets her way, the people's lives will be turned upside down. They're going to lose their homes, and he's not sure ELQ should be a part of it. Ned says he didn't have a problem with the redevelopment years ago, but Michael says they weren't tearing down people's houses. Ned asks if he wouldn't prefer a family who cares about Port Charles getting involved. If someone else gets the project, it could be worse. Michael tells him that he's not saying no – yet.
Julian tells Molly that he decided it's time to make an honest living, and used the media company sale to buy the pub. Molly asks Alexis if she was hoping to run into him, but the mayor interrupts, saying the town hall meeting is coming to order.
Lulu shows up at the station, and Dante asks what's going on? She tells him that she needs his advice as husband, not a cop.
Mayor Lomax talks about a building a privatized park, and how it's going to be a new chapter for the neighborhood. They're going to make Port Charles a mid-sized business district. Molly asks what about the families who live there, and the students? Where will they go? The mayor says they'll take questions later, but Julian says he wants to hear what they have to say, so she agrees. TJ talks about his family being new to Port Charles, and how he and Molly are renting a place there while working toward their degrees. He's concerned about the property values skyrocketing even if they stay. The so-called progress will drive people out of their homes. Lomax says one of the reasons rents are rising is because of the influx of students living off campus. Molly says she's deflecting by bringing in an irrelevant statistic that may or may not be true. Lomax says that TJ said his family was new to Port Charles, and Laura gets up, saying hers isn't.
Maxie tells Felicia that she's feeling a tsunami of doubt and anxiety. She's never cared for an infant before. What if she's not good enough to be a mother?
Obrecht meets with Nathan at Kelly's, and asks what's so important? He tells her he was on his way to drop off the medical records, and noticed some inconsistencies. She says she looked them over herself, and between her Swiss accuracy and German precision, pronounced them flawless. Nathan says Victor seemed to be in perfect health, but there's no evidence he was tested for beta thalassemias, when it runs in the family. (I looked this up, and it's a blood disorder.) He wonders why.
Ava tells Griff that she has a lot to atone for. When she committed those sins, her brother was a part of it. Griff doesn't want him leading her down the wrong path, but she says she can falter on her own, despite his best efforts to redeem her. Nelle asks if she's interrupting, but Ava tells her that Griff is on his way to work. He leaves, and Nelle asks if everything is okay. Ava says, just fine, and Nelle says she saw that Ava is hiring an assistant. Ava says she's hired.
Laura says she's been a resident in Port Charles since she was fifteen. It's the place she calls home, and raised her children there. She thinks she's qualified to speak to the historic significance. What drew her there was that it was charming and affordable, but what kept her there was the people. She talks about Mary May Ward, and how she fought passionately to preserve the community. She explains that the dock workers first settled the neighborhood, and turned it from a sleepy hamlet to a bustling city. It was a haven for diversity when the rest of the country wasn't. She tells everyone to look at the pictures that are hanging up. They're not just a reminder of who they were, but who they are. The city shouldn't push out the working class, but help them thrive. She has nothing against progress, but not at the expense of their past or the people who live there. She encourages everyone to vote, and vote no. Peter just looks at her, while everyone applauds. I wonder what's up with that guy.
Felicia says Maxie is already an excellent mother. Maxie says she was careless and selfish, and Georgie was taken from her. Felicia says she went through a troubled period, but look at her now. Maxie tells her that she's a train wreck with great hair, but Felicia says she's successful with a loving partner. Everything will be fine.
Obrecht tells Nathan that he's been tested for beta thalassemias, and doesn't have it. She says fatherhood brings out a healthy paranoia in men. The doctor will tell him all is well, and he can stop worrying. She leaves, but outside, she gets a really weird, complicated look on her face.
Lomax says they've heard from the rezoning committee and the residents. The only thing left is the vote next month. She adjourns the meeting. Doc tells Laura that she was amazing, and everyone gives her kudos. Molly says Laura would make a good politician herself. Laura says Port Charles is lucky to have young people willing to fight for its history.
Julian says Alexis has been there twice since she found out it was his pub. She tells him that she came for her scarf, and thanks him for defending her daughter. He says he was just doing what he thought was right; it's a new thing he's trying, and still figuring out. Molly asks Alexis why she's talking to him, and says no matter how hard she tries, Alexis can't shake him.
Nelle is surprised Ava is hiring her just like that, and Ava says her staff found other jobs after the fire, and she knows how good Nelle was at her job with Carly. Nelle says she knows how that ended, but Ava says it wasn't because of poor work. Nelle tells Ava she's not a saint. Ava says no one is, and she has no husband for Nelle to prey on, so they're okay on that front. Nelle hopes the reason is that she'd be a good fit, not to stick it to Sonny and Carly. Ava says that has nothing to do with it. Just like it has nothing to do with Nelle applying for the job. Touché.
Michael tells Ned that everyone made excellent points. Ned says they had emotional appeal, but at the end of the day, it comes down to dollars and cents. Michael says it's purely business, but he's not sure; there are a lot of facets to consider, including public scrutiny. Ned thinks that's a valid concern, but if they don't give their support now, Lomax will find some venture capitalists who will. They can count on the project breaking ground as long as she's the mayor. What say you? I think there's going to be a new election once the fraud is exposed, and Laura will end up as mayor.
Dante tells Lulu that if she's right, there's going to be a huge controversy. Lulu says good, but Dante says Lomax could accuse her of making up fake news. Lulu says she's thought about that, but major changes are happening because she won the election. If she didn't win legitimately, the voters have a right to know the election was stolen, and that their voices still count for something.
Maxie says Felicia is right. Felicia says first trimester hormones aren't blameless. Maxie and Nathan will make great parents, and she and Mac will always be there.
At the hospital, Nathan runs into Griff, who tells him congratulations. Nathan asks if Griff could do him a favor and look at the medical records. He needs to know if they belong to his father, or if he's being lied to again.
Tomorrow, Monica tells Ned that she's not turning away family, Maxie interrupts the wedding, and Jake doesn't want Jason there. Saw that coming.
Melissa is going bike riding with Siggy and Danielle. She tells the others she'll meet them later. Teresa found a local private chef, so she, Dolores, and Margaret are taking a cooking class. She's hoping the food works magic on Siggy and Margaret. Food, the universal language.
Teresa Dolores and Margaret go to the market for what Teresa calls "ingredientses." Oooh, nice market. BTW, they just put the eggs in a bag when you buy them. Good to know. Dolores came from a huge Italian family, and thinks in another life, she was an Italian lady who stayed home, cooked and cleaned. That's always been a dream of mine. Not really.
Melissa meets the bike guy, saying it will be the two of them if the girls don't show, but Danielle and Siggy finally join her. Siggy tells us she had her bags packed, but decided to concentrate on the people she loves. I guess that means everyone except Margaret. Danielle says the bike is hurting her who-ha. Siggy is excited about a drama-free day. They stop to take pictures. Today, Siggy is an honorary Italian.
The chef gives the girls aprons, and they start with pasta. He tells them they're not using a machine, and proceeds to concoct it with his hands. Margaret says no one ever married her for her cooking. My joke has always been that my husband didn't marry me for my cooking in the kitchen. Dolores is happy, and doesn't care if the others kill each other at this point. Margaret is concerned about being in the same room with Siggy, since Siggy is a loose cannon. Next is chopping beef for steak tartar. Teresa chops it on a wooden board, and gets splinters in the meat. Apparently, she was a little too enthusiastic, and tells us it's the first wood she's seen in a long time. BA-DUM-CHH!
The bicyclists stop for some champagne in the park. Melissa asks Danielle how she and Siggy's talk went, and she thinks it went well. Siggy can't get over Margaret's insensitivity. Melissa says Margaret is harsh, but she's not a hater, and Siggy overreacts. In her interview, Siggy says she's never seen people ignore bad behavior (really?), and thinks she expected too much. She says the holocaust is part of who she is. Danielle – who seems to be the new voice of reason – says Siggy has a script of how she wants people to behave, but Margaret doesn't know her rules. Melissa says they're not dismissing her feelings, but Margaret has feelings too, and she's also upset. In her interview, Melissa says Siggy needs to meet Margaret halfway, but she doesn't think it's going to happen. The best they can hope for is things not getting worse. She says if you're going to cry, do it when you have to go back to New Jersey. I second that.
Teresa has visions of shaking the champagne, and squirting the other girls when they come in. Margaret doesn't know what to say, since it will only be used against her. If the pasta is delicious, Siggy will say she choked on pasta once, and Margaret is trying to kill her. Everyone sits down, and Teresa makes a toast to friendship. Siggy is uncomfortable, and trying to put on a brave face, but hopes Margaret doesn't talk to her.
Margaret thinks everyone is skirting around the obvious – the last time they ate together, they were thrown out of a restaurant, In her interview, Melissa says Margaret is in the position of damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Melissa asks Margaret to come with her to get some water. Outside, she says that Margaret is being quiet, and asks if she's okay. Margaret says it's still raw. Melissa tells her about talking to Siggy, and doesn't know if they got through, but they made an attempt to get her to understand. In her interview, Margaret says if they weren't such a great group, she would fake her own death.
When they get back to the table, Siggy is in the middle of telling everyone that "Hitler" is a trigger word. Teresa says when she came home, hers was "jail." In her interview, Margaret says she doesn't understand Siggy, but won't use it again. She tells Siggy she didn't know it would hurt her to her core, and would never have said it had she known. She apologizes, and gets silence. Siggy barely looks at her. I'm just going to say it. Siggy is the biggest, most immature a-hole on the planet. Vote her off the island.
In her interview, Margaret says she gave a genuine, heartfelt apology, and got crickets. Danielle thanks Margaret, and Teresa says it brought tears to her eyes. In her interview, Siggy doesn't care what Margaret says, she's not making up. Siggy tells us that you don't get over a comment like that in 24-hours, so she just concentrated on eating her meal. The next course is announced – steak tartar with woodchips. Ha-ha!
Back at the ranch Teresa's house, the sink is leaking. Joe #2 arrives to fix it. He asks Milania if she can get him a dry rag, and she tells him he can get it himself. He asks to talk to the girls. He tells them that their mother is going through a lot. She works hard to support them, and they're not easy. They can actually be a nightmare. He thinks they should do something nice for her birthday, and they decide on a surprise party
Margret says trip has turned into an international incident, and she needs a break from all the emotion. She takes a bubble bath. Siggy decides to spend time with Teresa today. Danielle is going to the shoe factory with Margaret because she's a shoe geek. Melissa is going for gelato with Dolores.
Melissa tells Teresa they have one last dinner, and she wants to acknowledge what Margaret said.
Siggy admits to Danielle that Margaret said a nice thing. Danielle tells her it took a lot of courage. Siggy said she wanted an apology, but when she got what she wanted, she didn't return anything. Dolores says if Siggy made amends with Danielle, it's none of her business, but if Danielle tried to counsel her, she'd throw her ass out.
Danielle asks Margaret if she's excited about going to the factory. She is, but says she has to put the pedal to the metal to get her shoe line out. Danielle tells her about Siggy, saying that Margaret went out of her comfort zone, and Siggy can't give back the same thing she wants. Margaret says it wouldn't be genuine. Siggy aligned her with a hate group, and she doesn't want apology, but wants Siggy to acknowledge that's not who she is.
Melissa and Dolores discover that Italy still has phone booths, and take pictures. They're never making fun of tourists again.
Danielle thinks she might have a shoegasm. Margaret wants to make sure she's on the same wavelength as the manufacturer. They check out the production department. She asks questions, and finds out that one pair takes three hours to make. She says she might be able to move past that because of the superior craftsmanship. She loves the factory, but the price point turns out to be a little high, so she feels it's not exactly the right fit. I'm not sure if the pun is intended or not, since Margaret didn't notice.
Teresa asked the chef to recommend a beautiful place to pray for her mom, and she takes Siggy to where there's a gorgeous rendering of Jesus. She tells Siggy since she didn't share the beach memorial with her, she's sharing this. She doesn't know what she's going to do without her mom. Siggy says Teresa being away gave her mom an opportunity to bond with the banshees girls. In her interview, Teresa says she gets angry about the time she missed with her mom, but she's glad her daughters were able to spend that time with her. She tells us that Siggy really does have a good heart. I think Siggy thinks she does, but it's very selective. Siggy tells Teresa that she's been holding a lot in. It started with Margaret calling her "Soggy." Oh, for the love of all that's holy. This woman is worse than a dog with a bone. Teresa thought they were done with that. Yeah, so did everybody else, since Siggy said they were. Teresa says she was called an adultery [sic] by Kim D, but Siggy thinks the hurt is the same. In her interview, Teresa doesn't. She says for one you go to the hospital, and for the other, you put on a Band-Aid. Teresa thinks Margaret doesn't realize how sensitive Siggy is, but says she did apologize. Wait for it… Siggy says that Margaret should have apologized that night. Teresa tells her, in all the chaos, when would she have been able to? Siggy promises to think about it. I have so many things to say, it would take up volumes. During the commercial, I jet over to the show's page on Facebook, and many people are thinking the same things, so I refrain from posting, but like a few.
Melissa and Dolores wander around. Dolores says her man doesn't demand a lot of attention, and it bothers her that he doesn't care if he doesn't hear from her in 24-hours. She says at her age, she's not into just dating, and having Frank around is the best of both worlds. She goes out on dates, then comes home to Frank. They stop to eat. Dolores says having Frank around makes her realize she wants more than David. Melissa brings up Margaret's apology, and says she was shocked. Siggy looked like she saw a ghost. Dolores tells her that Siggy isn't emotionally ready to respond. If she wanted to respond in a snobby or nasty way, she would have done it already, but she contained herself. I can actually understand that, but cluing everyone else in might be a thought. Melissa says that Margaret always acts like the bigger person. Siggy called her anti-Semantic, and she needs to take that back. Dolores says she has Siggy's back, but they need peace. Melissa says she knows why Dolores hangs out with men all the time.
The ladies get dolled up for their last dinner. Melissa stops by Margaret's room. She can't believe they're leaving tomorrow. Melissa says she got Margaret a little something. She appreciates the invite. In her interview, Margaret says she's glad she was introduced to Melissa. She's Margaret's spirit animal. Melissa gifts her with a charm bracelet, with the charms all reminiscent of Milan. Margaret tells Melissa that she was the most positive part of the trip. Melissa says it was good of her to apologize, and Margaret says she didn't even know there were trigger words until she met Siggy. Melissa hopes Siggy can find it in her heart for taking back her comment to Margaret. She wants it cleaned up before they go back.
The table has a gorgeous fresh flower centerpiece; I think they're peonies. Teresa says they have a private room in the hotel. If it gets out of control, the damage will be contained. Melissa reminds them that they have an early flight. She says let's make tonight memorable, and enjoy it. Siggy says last night, Margaret gave a sincere heartfelt apology, and thanks her, saying she needed time to process. She starts getting weepy, and says she doesn't think anyone should reference Hitler. She must really hate Vincent Bugliosi, who wrote an entire chapter in Helter Skelter about the parallels between Charles Manson and Hitler. Margaret says she's sorry, but does Siggy genuinely feel she's anti-Semantic? Siggy says she wants to believe she's not, but it wasn't out of the sky. All the moments she felt attacked, and then the Hitler statement. Siggy doesn't know where it came from, but if it hurt Margaret's feelings, she apologizes. In her interview, Margaret says she's trying to take it the best way possible, but it's Apology 101. You shouldn't be sorry for how someone feels, but what you did to make them feel that way. Thank you. My example is, I'm sorry they're dead, instead of, I'm sorry I murdered them. Margaret says Siggy aligned her with a hate group, and her relationships outside are mostly with Jewish people. A remark like that is relationship ending, career ending, scathing, and hurtful. Siggy says how she felt could ruin her life. Margaret told her she said "Soggy" in the heat of the moment, not thinking it would hurt her, but she doesn't think so. Melissa thinks Siggy doesn't understand the gravity of what she said, and it would be a huge leap from that, to her really thinking Margaret is anti-Semantic. Siggy says it's like she brought Margaret to a wedding, and was deserted at cocktail hour. Oh ho! This is why she's so unreasonable. She's jealous that her friends like Margaret. Margaret asks if Siggy thinks she's always compassionate; she doesn't always keep to her own rules. Siggy says she's far from perfect. Margaret says if she gives herself a pass, she needs to give one to others. She would never say something to hurt her on purpose. In her interview, Margaret thinks she had no choice; she was forced to bond with the others, and Siggy realizes she's here to stay. Teresa says all of them are friends. Dolores says let things mend, and it will all be good. Who would have thought Teresa and Danielle would make up? On that note, Margaret invites everyone to her Studio 54 disco birthday party, and everyone gets all excited.
Next time, Teresa poses, Margaret talks to her ex about the kids, Teresa apologizes to Danielle's children, and Melissa has a not-listening-to-anyone attitude.

Taylor's Tavern
Coordinates: 38°52.530′N 77°09.467′W / 38.875500°N 77.157783°W / 38.875500; -77.157783
Taylor's Tavern during the Civil War.
Taylor's Tavern was a significant outpost for Union Forces during the US Civil War. It was among the first locations in Virginia where the two opposing sides came into contact.[1] The tavern was probably built about 1800 near the site of an old Indian trading post at Seven Corners.[2]
An inscription on a historical marker placed by the City of Falls Church, Virginia, at Taylor's Tavern, reads:
Two-story building with verandahs stood on 56 acres bought in 1856 by Wm. Taylor (part of 1731 271-acre T. Harrison grant). Tavern faced Alexandria-Leesburg Pike west of Junction with Georgetown Road (Wilson Blvd.). Near here on June 24, 1861, balloonist Thaddeus Lowe conducted first aerial reconnaissance in U.S. military history. In August–September CSA Col. J.E.B. Stuart's troops fortified Upton's & Munson's Hills. By October 1861 Union troops had reoccupied hills and added forts Taylor, Buffalo, and Ramsay as a separate group 4–5 miles west of main ring of Washington defenses. [3]
The tavern was the site of the first aerial reconnaissance mission in the United States, a balloon flight by Thaddeus S. C. Lowe on June 24, 1861. With the assistance of a detachment of fifteen men, he carried his craft, the Enterprise, to the tavern site, from which he conducted a number of test flights.[4]
The site of the tavern is today marked by Fort Taylor Park, a city park.[5]

Container ships are huge polluters–it's hard to make thousands of tons of slow moving steel cut through the oceans efficiently, after all. But now entering the harbor are new vessels that can carry 16% more cargo, while releasing 20% less CO2.
Container ships are huge polluters–it's hard to make thousands of tons of slow moving steel cut through the oceans efficiently without spewing pollutants. Nevertheless, Daewoo is building new Triple-E ships that can carry 16% more cargo, while releasing 20% less CO2.
It's often overlooked in these high-tech times, but cargo shipping is one of the world's most polluting industries. The actual figures are disputed, but one estimate suggests the pollution output of a single ship may be as much as the equivalent of 50 million cars, and it's possible shipping is responsible for up to 4% of all climate-change emissions. Improving these figures is therefore critical to reducing environmental damage caused by the industry, which is where Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering comes in. The two outfits are combining on what they call a Triple-E cargo ship design–and 10 of them were ordered by Danish firm Maersk this week. How do they do it? Science and engineering, naturally.
The Triple-E stands for economy of scale, energy efficiency and environmentally improved–and this pretty neatly sums-up the ship's design. To achieve an economy of scale, the vessels are designed to carry more shipping containers than their peers–18,000 20-foot container units, which is 2,500 more than the next biggest efficient ship. To do this with a footprint that's just a few meters longer and wider (so the vessels can tackle the same waterways and docking facilities as their competition) the ships have a U-shaped profile–which is actually less hydrodynamically efficient than traditional V-shaped hulls.
To compensate for this, the Triple-Es have two engines that run slower than usual, driving two smaller propellers with fewer blades–a design that actually reduces drag, and pushes the engine maximum efficiency to a lower speed–requiring up to 20% less power. This translates into better fuel economy.
In order to reclaim more energy and reduce the environmental footprint, the ships have a waste heat recovery system that captures energy from exhaust gasses, which can acquire 25% of the energy that's normally just vented into the sky by cargo ships.
In total, it's expected the ships will emit 20% less CO2 than their next biggest peer design, and 50% less than the average vessel on the Asia-Europe run.
This is no fuel-cell design, with almost zero-emissions, and it doesn't even have the eco-kudos of solar panels or a huge wind-assist kite system…but it's a start. Ten down, just another 3,800-odd cargo polluters left to improve.
