Ada Carmine – a perfect woven wrap that will comfortably carry a small newborn, cuddled up against you for hours as well as offer optimal support for an older child in a front, back or hip carry.
Ada Carmine – a perfect woven wrap that will comfortably carry a small newborn, cuddled up against you for hours as well as offer optimal support for an older child in a front, back or hip carry. Woven from highest quality organic cotton, the fabric features the complex Ada pattern in contrasting ecru and carmine, a combination that brings out the beautiful details of the pattern.
Soft and a bit fluffy, with a slightly grippy surface, the wrap is easy to tie and will hold knots securely in place. The yarns weave together to make it a more lightweight fabric that offers perfect support in width and length. The inherent diagonal stretch gives this wrap perfect wrapping qualities and allows for precise and comfortable babywearing. A great wrap for every season!
DIDYMOS woven wraps include illustrated, easy-to-follow instructions for various ways of tying and carrying.
No weight or age restriction.
Most versatile carrier as there are unlimited carries that can be used!
Wear on the front, hip and back using one shoulder, two shoulders or torso and back only!
Facilitates skin to skin newborn wearing, also known as kangaroo care.
Custom fit to every person regardless of shape or size.
Fully adjustable and therefore a great option for sharing the carrier with others.
Ergonomic and facilitates the anatomically correct spread-squat-positon (fetal tuck for newborns).
Great for people with back and shoulder problems since woven wraps distribute weight over both shoulders.
Great for both casual and extended daily wearing.
Beautiful designs, colours and organic fibres.
Tested to the EU and North American ASTM standards.
Are you ready to get started with a woven wrap?
Check out our other amazing articles that are sure to help you make this is as easy as 1-2-3!
WHICH SIZE OF WOVEN WRAP AND WHICH CARRY?
BEGIN WITH THE FRONT WRAP CROSS CARRY!
Purposefully woven on special looms for the sole purpose of babywearing.
Are made from organic cotton (and other plant materials such as linen and hemp) and/or ethically-sourced animal fibres.
Woven with a diagonal stretch that creates an elasticity in the fabric allowing for the fabric to easily mould to the wearer and baby providing optimal comfort and support.
Thought to be the most versatile babywearing option in terms of baby carriers since one size will fit all stages of baby development, and many tying variations are available.
DIDYMOS woven wraps offer a custom fit for every person regardless of their shape and size. They can be used right from the newborn baby stage all the way up to preschool age. In fact, they are tested to 310 Kg so your baby cannot outgrow your wrap!
There are a vast number of carries one can tie with a woven wrap, including front carries, hip carries AND back carries, with one-shoulder and two-shoulder options – something for everyone! Most two-shoulder carries allow the weight of the child to be distributed evenly from shoulders to hips and one is able to wear even heavy children for long periods of time COMFORTABLY!
It is a fabric that lies smooth in hand and glides easy, making it very suitable for beginner wrappers. In addition, the sturdiness of the cloth makes this collection an excellent choice for wearing heavier children.
The DIDYMOS Lisca Collection features the classic herringbone pattern. The nature of the Lisca weave creates a very soft, cushy fabric. Liscas are popular for their diagonal stretch and mouldability. Great wraps for beginner and experienced wrappers alike!
The new Summer Mosaic wrap by Didymos is a great addition to any summer wardrobe. With its pastel colours and intricate weave, Summer Mosaic is as enjoyable to look at as it is to wear.


Natural hazards can cause serious disruption to societies and their transport infrastructure networks. The impact of extreme hazard events is largely dependent on the resilience of societies and their networks. Resilience of critical transport infrastructure to extreme weather events, such as flood, heavy rainfall or drought, is one of the most demanding challenges for both government and society. Extreme weather is a phenomenon that causes threats to the well-functioning of the infrastructure. The impacts of various levels of extreme weather on the infrastructure varies throughout globe. These impacts are witnessed through changes in seasons and extreme temperatures, humidity, extreme or prolonged precipitation or drought, extreme wind, and thunderstorms. The extreme weather events may result in disasters such as flooding, drought, or wild fires. These present a range of challenges to the operational resilience of critical transport infrastructure.
Since 1970, the term "resilience" into the study of ecosystems, resiliency-related research has been exponentially increasing. The concept of resilience has expanded to different disciplines, including (1) engineering resilience, or the ability of the system to resume normal functionality after shock; (2) social resilience, or capacity of humans to anticipate and plan for the future; (3) ecological resilience, or the speed of return to stability domain; (4) material resilience, or the ability of material to absorb energy when elastically deformed; and (5) psychology resilience, or the ability of an individual to withstand stress and bounce back or recover from traumatic situations. However, engineering resilience will be important when discussing drainage or transport infrastructure systems. Resilience, when applied to infrastructure systems, implies the ability of such infrastructure systems (including their interconnected ecosystems and social systems) to absorb disturbance and recover after a disturbance.
The economic and societal relevance of the dependency and resilience of critical transport infrastructure is obvious: infrastructure malfunctions and outages can have far reaching consequences and impacts on economy and society. The cost of developing and maintaining critical transport infrastructure is high if they are expected to have a realistic functional and economic life (i.e. 50+ years). Hence, future extreme weather events have to be taken into account when considering protection measures, mitigation measures and adaption measures to reflect actual and predicted instances of critical transport infrastructure failures.


Competition time: can you identify the before and after photos?
Holly Davis, Jan Phillips Kerri Crowley, Anna Higgins, Sam Hopton and Lucie Pospisilova are currently working at The Dean Neurological Centre in Gloucester, so together they formed the Dean Runners team to take on the gruelling, muddy challenge.
The Mudrun was set in the Cotswold countryside and comprised of 10km of arduous terrain navigating over 30 brutal obstacles set to test even the strongest of competitors and it certainly did! Whilst some of the team had trained to manage the distance others hadn't and we probably didn't truly envisage just how physical and muddy this challenge would be!
We chose the BSF as their work is relevant to the clients we care for and treat at The Dean on a daily basis. We wanted to pick a charity that provides education and support for a variety of neurological conditions and as the charity relies on voluntary donations we wanted to do our bit.
Thinking of our clients and the complex challenges they face was our motivation when the going got tough on the course - we pulled together as a team and all 6 of us made it across the finish line looking very different to how we started the event! The sense of achievement was amazing!
In total we raised £510 for the BSF and thoroughly enjoyed getting incredibly muddy in the process. We are hoping to complete other muddy challenges for good causes in the future.
Thank you so very much to Holly, Jan, Kerri, Anna, Sam and Lucie for taking on this challenge and raising a fantastic amount of money to help people with neurological problems. Good luck to you all for your next muddy adventure!
Would you like to take on a challenge in 2019 and raise funds for the Brain & Spine Foundation?


This year our apple tree is exploding with delicious looking red fruits – and the weather is getting colder – so it's time to pick them quick!
And so pick them we did !
And peel them. And chop them.
Then cut another, smaller, circle of pastry and lay on the top of each pie, and put in the oven for 325 degrees F / 170 degrees C for 20 mins….
All the kids took part in the making of these, but Leon, the true chef, did most of the work.
They tasted delicious, warm out of the oven with ice-cream!
*CRUNCH* them into small pieces (this was the bit Alfie loved best!)….
Spread glue on to construction paper leaves, and then sprinkle with real leaves….
And put up on your paper bag tree (if you happen to have one, like us!)….
This is a great activity for very small people – firstly going out to collect the leaves and discussing the various colours and shapes, and secondly the tearing up of the leaves once dry is excellent fine motor skill practice – not to mention the wonderful CRUNCHY sound and the wonderful smell that comes out of the leaves once CRUNCHED!
A positive thing about being heavily pregnant and spending more time at home, is the time to set up fun areas in the playroom!
Today, with Alfie's enthusiasm for spiders, and with Halloween coming up, it was, of course, a spider theme….
And since taking these photos we have also put up one of those nylon spiders' webs available at Halloween, which the kids enjoy sticking little plastic spiders in.
So, a very spidery area indeed!
…. and on the table the is a tray of different leaves and seeds for some more matching, and general touching, feeling and exploring….!
Autumn is in full throng right now, and the leaves on the trees are looking outstanding. Of course one can never photograph nature to its full glory, but I just love this tree outside Alfie's bedroom window. When we open the curtains in the morning and the sun is shining on it, it brightens up the whole street. We call it 'the fire tree'!
This week we've spent a lot of time 'searching for Autumn'!
Not sure what this is - a Hawthorn perhaps?
It was fun for the kids to match the leaves and seeds, and simply to look at and touch them for Alfie.
Yesterday I sent Leon, Maya and a friend of theirs on an 'autumn scavenger hunt'. They were given a bag each, and a list of things to find (inspired by this activity at the wonderful 'Frugal Family Fun' blog). I mostly used their list of things, but simply changed a few items which I knew would be impossible, for something more relevant to the scandinavian countryside!
All three kids went off, wrapped in warm clothes, bags in hand to explore the local area. They were given strict boundaries as to where they could and could not go – and all three kids came back unharmed, very happy, and full of eagerness to show me their finds!
Alfie presently has a great love of magnetic numbers and letters,and has had for some time. He loves to sort them in to colour, and shape, and can now point out numbers 2 and 0, and letters A, X and M. Most of all he loves to add characters to these shapes, and spends ages taking them on adventures.
I'm not one for 'hot housing' kids, and I personally don't believe in teaching children to read, write and do maths from a very young age – but on the other hand, if they show an interest in something, I do think it's important to encourage their enthusiasm, and grab the opportunity while you have the chance.
We have the magnetic letters book, which seems most appropriate for Alfie – and is lots of fun. And after also playing with the 'Leapfrog' alphabet sounds magnetic toy , (a present we were given in California, which has been surprisingly popular with our youngest)….
….. and making letter and numbers prints in play dough….
…. I decided to get serious! I recently saw this activity on someone's blog, but sadly I have no memory of here I saw it (sorry!), but I thought it was really lovely.
A simple coconut tree cut from card, and tacked to the fridge, enabling kids to use their magnetic letters to act out scenes from the book. I just love it!
I also copied an alphabet chart and put it at the bottom of the tree, enabling kids to either match the letter shapes with their magnetic letters, or simply to learn about the order of the alphabet. This seemed more appropriate for Maya, but it will be interesting to see what Alfie does with it too!
I also found a really sweet 'Chicka Chicka boom boom' song and cartoon on the internet here – it's very short, and it really makes Alfie LAUGH!
My next idea is to make alphabet cookies….
I love autumn. I love the coloured leaves, the mushrooms and the acorns, the rose hips and the ripe apples on the trees. Most of all I love autumn walks and the fresh cool breeze it brings, to let us know the season has changed.
Cinnamon buns and juice by the fire.
In my opinion, there's nothing better than child initiated play – it shows no end of imagination and creativity – and when the age groups are mixed, it's even more wonderful.
We had friends to dinner last night, and while the little ones were busying themselves, and us grown-ups were chatting and drinking wine (not the pregnant ones among us I add!), the older kids were setting up the following – and it brought a big smile to my face!
It may not look like much, but I just love to capture these moments. I love the use of the Klutz building cards for beds, and used to build the stairs up to the King and Queen's bedroom. I love the wizard guarding the 'castle', and the rolled up balls of paper (presumably for the use of the catapult). And I especially love the use of the big cardboard building blocks for a castle.
I'm not sure whether this was inspired by 'Harry Potter' which I have recently been reading to Leon and Maya, but I think it's so fantastic that a 6, 7 and 9 year old can still have the imagination to play in this way. I suspect the play would have continued, and gone in to detail, but the clock was ticking and it was time to go home, so we had to stop the play – the greatest sin of all!
Having been born in England, as well as having taught young children there, I am well aware of the importance of a good old traditional English nursery rhyme.
Yes, you may laugh, but the English nursery rhyme teaches our children many things…. other than the basics of rhythm and rhyming words, repetition and speech, did you know they also teach children about spatial awareness (leading to greater success in maths and science), and history?
And because I presently happen to be living in Sweden, I feel it is my responsibility, as an English parent, to teach my 2 year old about those good old traditional English nursery rhymes! Lately, therefore, Alfie and I have been musing over music, books and the occasional DVD of – can you guess? Nursery Rhymes!
He just loves to sing and recognise them, and out of the blue can sometimes be heard to say such sayings as "quite contrary" and "hot cross buns" within his play. I have, therefore, decided to do a few activities with some of his favourite rhymes – the first being 'Incy Wincy Spider'.
Having enjoyed repeatedly singing the rhyme, and pulling the spider up and down the spout (via the string and the little hole punched in the side of the kitchen roll), we progressed to this….
Yes, that's right, a real 'spout'!
Of course, these spiders really needed to be explored, and so (armed with the spider hanging from his 'tube'), it was time to find a real one. We looked in all the obvious places – in the garage, in the little cottage, in all the nooks and crannies – but no spider was to be found. "It's getting cold here in Sweden, and all the spiders must have moved inside" I suggested to Alfie – and as we spoke, I spotted, not a spider, but a beautiful web, strung between the ropes of….
….. that's right, our 'people's web'!
Unfortunately my camera was not good enough to capture the web in the strong sunlight, but, feeling happy with his find, the next step for Alfie was to make our own web.
Which brings us to an old classic – those egg box spiders!
Alfie and his friend painted those rounded parts of an egg box black, helped glue on eyes of their choice, and after I had pierced holes for the legs (8 of course!), together we cut up pipe cleaners, and poked them through the holes.
Quite fiddly for such young children to make – but WOW, they loved them!

Stay & Stargaze
View astonishing starry skies at these unique accommodations throughout the state that offer stellar stargazing opportunities.
You don't have to be a professional astronomer to appreciate Arizona's amazing night skies, but a telescope, celestial map and experienced guide can certainly help. These resorts, hotels and other accommodations throughout the state offer stellar stargazing amenities like these and more.
As an added bonus, many of the following hotels and resorts have some pretty amazing daytime views, as well.
Marvel at the Grand Canyon's night skies
As an officially designated International Dark Sky Park, Grand Canyon National Park's night sky rivals the views during the day. Lodging on the park's South and West rims will provide everything you need to appreciate the stars above while relaxing closer to earth.
Hualapai Lodge
Launched in November 2019, "Grand Canyon Stargazing and S'Mores" is the latest tour offered by Grand Canyon West. Book an evening at the Hualapai Lodge in Peach Springs, near the historic Route 66, where you can purchase tickets from the concierge or front-desk staff. You'll depart with your group to Diamond Creek to observe the night sky with your personal star finder—highlighting the visible constellations and astronomical objects—and later warm yourself near a fire as you make s'mores. (Tour offered year-round.)
Grand Canyon National Park Lodges
Time an overnight stay at one of six hotels within the park operated by Grand Canyon National Park Lodges with one of the National Park Service's frequent astronomy talks (check the park's calendar for dates), or attend the annual Grand Canyon Star Party. Held each June, the weeklong event features free nightly astronomy talks, constellation tours and telescope viewing. Lodging includes the elegant and historic El Tovar Hotel, the cozy cabins of Bright Angel Lodge, and the more contemporary Kachina and Thunderbird lodges
Under Canvas
Sleep under the stars in your own safari-style luxury tent just 25 minutes from the park's South Rim. Glamping operator Under Canvas' "Stargazer" tent has a viewing window directly above its king-sized bed allowing perfect views of the stars as you drift to sleep (wishing optional). Bookings available April thru November.
Yavapai Lodge
Also located within Grand Canyon, Yavapai Lodge is a family-, bike- and pet-friendly hotel that now offers guests a "Constellations at the Canyon" package. In addition to overnight accommodations, you'll receive a flashlight and a stargazing map with a red lens filter insert to help you view the constellations and other "awe-inspiring celestial bodies." Use promo code STARGAZER to add the package to your regular stay.
Luxury lodgings to spoil yourself while stargazing
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
Light from the nation's fifth-largest city makes stargazing in Phoenix-proper difficult, but you don't have to venture too far from downtown for that to change. In the foothills of North Scottsdale, resort guests can enjoy complimentary stargazing on Thursdays with a specialist and a professional telescope at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North.
Boulders Resort & Spa
Also in north Scottsdale, Boulders Resort & Spa offers several stargazing options. You can view planets, stars and the moon's surface with the help of the resort's professional astronomer or pick out celestial points of interest on your own using the constellation app installed on each guest room's iPad. The resort also offers starlit dinners and moonlight bicycling.
Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort & Spa
At Westward Look—a renovated, 80-acre ranch at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains and the oldest resort in Tucson—you can peer into deep space using the Celestron 2000 telescope near the main pool. Staff can help get you started from dusk until midnight every night. Separate Stargazer Spa Suites feature a private patio with an outdoor hot tub for viewing the night sky in serene comfort.
Accommodations for wannabe astronomers
Kitt Peak National Observatory
One of the premier stargazing regions in the country, southern Arizona boasts several observatories, including Kitt Peak National Observatory southwest of Tucson. You can tour Kitt Peak during the day or participate in an evening viewing program. But to really appreciate the facility, book an overnight stay, which allows you to stargaze until dawn. When you get tired (or when the sun comes up), you can bunk with researchers in the observatory's dorms.
Stargazing in Arizona
Why is Arizona such a wonderful place for stargazing? Clear skies and diverse geography set the stage, and many of our communities provide sound...
Arizona's Starry Nights
Arizona has long fought against "light pollution" - city glare that obscures the night sky. The Dark Skies Movement is headquartered in Tucson,...

- Bonjour Paris - https://bonjourparis.com -
Interview with Cathy Marie Buchanan, author of "The Painted Girls":
Posted By Anne McCarthy On Mar 1, 2013 @ 3:19 am In Books,Interviews | No Comments
Anne Hathaway nabbed the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance as Fantine in Les Miserables. The win reflects what critics and movie-goers know to be true: The world loves a great French story.
Artist Edgar Degas' paintings are as celebrated as Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, and were the source of inspiration for author Cathy Marie Buchanan to tackle the story of Degas' famous dancers.
Buchanan's new novel, The Painted Girls [1], tells the story of one of Degas' most famous subjects, a young girl named Marie van Goethem, who served as a model for the artist.
Buchanan's greatest asset is her beautiful prose, which presents fierce imagery that transports the reader to Belle Époque Paris of the 1870s, when Moulin Rouge dancers dazzled at the cabaret, Palais Garnier opened to eager crowds and plans for the Eiffel Tower were underway. The author has taken great pains for historical accuracy, continuity, and story.
The author's fluid language weaves an engaging story that readers are sure to love. This is a great read, and will answer questions you didn't even know you had about Degas, his work, and a Paris of yore.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Ms. Buchanan about The Painted Girls [1], her early interest in ballet and that famous French painter:
What inspired you to write about Paris' Belle Epoque period, Edgar Degas and Parisian ballerinas in "The Painted Girls"?
Years ago, I happened on a television documentary called The Private Life of a Masterpiece: Little Dancer Aged Fourteen. I would learn that on its unveiling back in 1881, the public linked Little Dancer with a life of vice and young girls for sale. She was called a "flower of the gutter" and her face was said to be "imprinted with the detestable promise of every vice." Such notions were underpinned by a long history of often less than noble liaisons between the young dancers at the Paris Opéra Ballet and the wealthy male season ticket holders. I would also learn of the poverty of the girl—Marie van Goethem— who had modeled for the work. The revelations flew in the face of my modern-day notions of the sculpture and ballet as largely a high-minded pursuit of privileged girls. I was fascinated and knew Marie's story was one I wanted to tell.
Where does your interest in Parisian culture come from?
As a teenager, I spent four or five nights a week studying in a ballet studio where there were Degas ballet prints tacked to the walls. I felt a kinship with his dancers. Often he chose to paint them—no different than I was—stretching at the barre. I grew up attending ballet performances, and my favorites included La Sylphide and Coppélia, both French ballets of the Romantic Era. I think it's fair to say my interest in Parisian culture came through my early exposure to Degas' artwork and my love of ballet.
You left a corporate career to pursue writing; what sparked this change?
During high school I satisfied my creative yearnings by studying ballet, and by designing and sewing most of my clothes. Throughout my corporate career, I was always enrolled in a night school course— always something with an artistic bent—no doubt a continued effort to nurture my artistic soul. I took painting, drawing, woodworking, art history and interior design, before hitting upon creative writing. Then, right from the first class, I was smitten. A four-year period followed where I continued my full time work by day and, in the evening, either attended a creative writing class or crammed in a bit of scribbling. Eventually my desire to spend more time writing trumped the security of sound employment, and I took the plunge, leaving the corporate world to write full time.
Your parents were enthusiastic travelers – taking you on cross-country road trips through Canada, Mexico and the U.S. when you were young – how did those trips shape you as a writer and traveler?
In 1973, when my childhood family of seven made our two-month camping sojourn into Mexico, my youngest sister was just two and Mexico was nowhere close to being set up for tourism. I'm convinced that being raised by parents with a tendency to throw caution to the wind is in large part why I was able to walk away from a healthy paycheck and secure job to take a serious stab at writing. Those early treks also made me into a lifelong traveler (I've visited close to forty countries) and a person who takes deep pleasure in immersing herself in a culture other than her own. In each of my novels—The Day the Falls Stood Still and The Painted Girls—and in my current work in progress, I create another time and place, and I expect the pleasure I get from the undertaking is related to my love of experiencing new cultures.
Who are some of your favorite authors and why?
My favorites include Margaret Atwood, Geraldine Brooks, and Barbara Kingsolver. I think each writes beautifully sentence by sentence and at the same time, tells a tremendously compelling story. It's what I strive for in my own work—a page-turning plot delivered in gorgeous prose.
Have you traveled to Paris? What are you some of your favorite things to do, eat, and see in Paris?
Yes, I've been to Paris a handful of times. Touring Palais Garnier, where much of The Painted Girls [1] takes place is a highlight, as is enjoying a ballet in the jewelry box-like theatre. It does not get much better than sipping champagne during intermission, while overlooking the grand staircase. I also adore strolling the shaded walkways of cimetière de Montmartre, and having lunch at the excellent café in the park-like setting of Musée Rodin. Best of all, though, was the privilege of attending a class of fourteen-year-old girls at the Paris Opéra Ballet school. Though thirty years and a continent away from my own days at the barre, I was struck by how familiar the exercises, the corrections and the music were. It made me think that despite having lived a very different life from my character Marie van Goethem, parts of our experiences were very similar.
As a Canadian, did you feel the influence of French language and culture in your upbringing?
As do all Canadians, I studied French at school, which was certainly useful when I was researching The Painted Girls [1]. I grew up in a largely Anglo province, though we regularly travelled to Quebec and I knew from a young age the joie de vivre of the Québécois.
What is your favorite thing about the French "mode de la vie"?
I love that the French take pleasure in the small delights of life—a perfectly crafted pain au chocolate, a expertly brewed cup of café noir, the sun warming a face in the Jardin des Tuileries.
What advice would you give young writers?
Write every day. Don't wait for inspiration. It might never come.
How would you describe The Painted Girls in one sentence?
The Painted Girls [1] is a heartrending novel set in belle époque Paris, inspired by the real-life model for Edgar Degas's Little Dancer Aged Fourteen and a notorious criminal trial of the era.

Hoops camp offers 3 sessions
Christmas will come early for some of Guam's youth hoopsters — starting Dec. 19, they can participate in one of Guam's most complete basketball camps, the Guam Elite Basketball Holiday Adventure Camp.
The camp, sponsored by the Guam Elite Basketball Academy, will offer three sessions during the winter break for athletes of all ages and skills. The first session is Dec. 19-23, the second session is Dec. 26-30 and the final session is Jan. 2-6.
The he camp will be conducted at the academy's brand-new training center — in Tiyan next to the Guam Department of Education offices.
According to Dominic Sablan, one of the academy's coaches and trainers, the training center will be used exclusively to improve the level of basketball on Guam from the ground up — the primary goal of Guam Elite Basketball.
"The GEB Academy has been a blessing," said coach Will Stinnett. "To work with all the different age groups and see how much of a positive impact we had — not just on the basketball court but what they do off the court; all of it has been a blessing."
Stinnett Dominic Sablan, Derin Santos, and Darren Hechenova are coaches with Guam Elite Basketball.
Michael Camacho enrolled his son, Cole Camacho, an eighth-grader at St. Anthony School, into the camp.
"The camp is very well organized. (They have) good communication with the parents. The coaches are very professional and are effective at involving every child," Michael Camacho said.
Jordyn Reyelle Zacarias is only in the fifth grade, but she has been enrolled in the Guam Elite Basketball training sessions and has been steadily improving, said her mom, Rowena Zacarias.
"GEB has made an impact on Jordyn's game. She learned a lot just from the first camp," Rowena Zacarias said. "I've seen her incorporate skills and techniques she's learned during training and actually carrying it out during her basketball games."
Jordyn takes some of the drills that she is being taught at the camp and practices them at home. That's a big help for her mom, who said she "only knows so much about the sport."
"She has been watching many basketball games and has also seen her coaches play. I think that's a factor when it comes to your coaches; she looks up to them," Rowena Zacarias said. "Constant praise builds confidence and the coaches are doing a great job with this."
Stinnett said that although the group has seen vast improvement in basketball skills, they also get satisfaction with the extra positives that the kids have shown.
"They are getting better grades, have more confidence, and are making new friends that have the same interest that they do," he said. "We want to create leaders on and off the court."
The camp will feature: basketball skills training and development; guest speakers from the community; various exercise segments; and health and wellness education. Water will be provided, and there will be snacks and lunch for sale during camp hours.
All coaches are USA Basketball and Impact Basketball certified, according to Guam Elite Basketball.
"It's great to see the coaches go out of their way to get the coaching skills to increase the level of training for our kids," Michael Camacho said. "It's also great to see the community get involved by providing facilities for the games. Thank you to the entire organization for providing this opportunity for our kids."
"When I watch my daughter during the practices I see how it has been helping her, I see it was a good investment to my daughter's interest and future," said Rowena Zacarias.
What: Guam Elite Basketball Holiday Adventure Camp
Ages: 6 through 17
Where: Guam Elite Basketball training center, Tiyan
Cost: $125 per session; $225 for both sessions and $300 for all three weeks.

Originating from the Moroccan lands, Dragon fruit is better named pitaya, worldwide. It is one of the top graded fruits that is edible and safe, and offers such mind blowing benefits that it is consumed raw, or as salads and smoothies. It owes its fame to the shot of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals it is packed with. To name a few, it is bundled with Vitamin C, riboflavin, fibres, thiamine, carotene, protein and much more. Though it originates from the Moroccan soil, but it is now yielded in Mexico, South America, Florida and islands of west Indies. It is a magical fountain for skin and hair as well. But today, we will focus on 5 of its astounding health benefits that will make you want to consume it daily.
Vitamin B complex is known to be a powerful natural remedy to effectively guard the body cells against improper division  . And Dragon fruit is a pile of almost all those vitamins including Vitamin B1, B2 and B3. Additionally loaded with Vitamin C, its power to guard the body from cancer causing free radicals increase manifolds. On top of all, it is blessed with bulk traces of lycopene as well. And lycopene keeps cells healthy by increasing their immunity against inflammation. Which is why, it shields the body from prostate cancer.
When talking about inflammation, how can one not make a mention of the most dreaded joint inflammatory disorder, arthritis. It is basically a result of connective tissues losing their power to hold muscles to joints. This results in sharp pain and makes joints stiff and immovable  . Dragon fruit, that is coupled with ascorbic acid and Lycopene, makes collagen stronger by ensuring the body's immune system strengthens. As a result, collagen repairs damaged connective tissues. This reduces arthritic pain manifolds.
Nothing is more beneficial for people having high cholesterol than consuming foods that are powerful supplements of omega 3 and omega 6 fats  . These are circulating and purification fats that never stick to the arteries and veins, and do not coagulate around the adipose tissues. They are purifying fats, since they basically bind with accumulated cholesterol molecules and bring them to liver for conversion to good cholesterol. And Dragon fruit is a natural warehouse of these fatty acids coupled with oleic acid. Oleic acid further improves the conversion of bad cholesterol to good cholesterol.
This citrus fruit is a blood sugar regulator and metaboliser for two reasons  . One, it keeps a proper check that the sugar level doesn't show sudden fluctuations from dropping down to shooting up. And two, its power packed fibers ensure proper digestion. And proper digestion means conversion of food into energy, rather than storing sugar in blood as glucose.
Other than being blessed with vitamins and minerals, Dragon fruit is also infused with natural antioxidants anthocyanins. These antioxidants powerfully work against toxins that reduce body's metabolism. They also kill free radicals and makes the system clear of waste  .
Dragon fruit is infused with high amounts of vitamin C. And vitamin C helps in reducing phlegm accumulation in the upper respiratory tract  . Which is why, Dragon fruit makes an ideal natural diet supplement that helps people suffering from asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory disorders.
The above listed 6 benefits of dragon fruit can reform from health from scratch and also improve your life's quality by keeping you safe from diseases.

Um... I'm partial to a bit of reading and writing, but again, I'm sure you realized/guessed that.
I'm not really any good at volunteering info about myself, so... I guess that's it.

Johan Santana Out To Stop Skid, New York Mets Look for Offense in LA
by Sammy Makki under MLB
LOS ANGELES—We are now at a juncture in the season where if things don't heal quickly, there will be more stories about Jets and Giants training camp than the Mets.
The Mets have endured their collapses, their failures, their mid-season disappointments. But maybe never so quickly has a Mets team gone from contender to pretender mid-season—from the talk of baseball in June to absolute afterthoughts in July.
There are still 66 games left in the 2010 season. That may be a number to count on, but the way the Mets are going right now, how many wins will come of those remaining games?
The Mets offense hasn't hit the skids or begun to slump, it has completely dissipated. The Mets have now gone 13 straight games without scoring more than four runs, and have not even scored that many in its current four-game losing streak.
Normally, the thought in baseball is to hand the ball to your ace when in a losing streak of four or more. It means that you haven't won with any other starter in the rotation.
That's all fine tonight for the Mets. They will have their ace, Johan Santana, on the mound, but does it mean anything at this point? Out of the eight games since the All-Star break, the Mets have lost six when getting a good pitching performance.
No matter how well Santana does, the Mets need to try and score some runs. Even if Santana doesn't allow a run, the Mets are capable of not scoring, which would cancel out Santana's effort.
The good thing is, they will have a guy on the mound that can keep them in the game, and someone who has been dominant of late.
After the calendar flipped to July from an awful June for Santana, he has been money. In July, Santana is 2-0 with a 0.58 ERA. That's vintage Santana, and being that he's one of the best second-half pitchers of all time, there's no reason to believe he's going to revert back to his June ways.
In his last start on Sunday in San Francisco, Santana didn't get a win, but certainly deserved one. He pitched eight stellar innings, and left the game with a 3-1 lead, handing the ball over to Francisco Rodriguez.
Rodriguez gave up two runs to blow the save, and nearly blew the game. He was helped out by a generous call from home-plate umpire Phil Cuzzi, and therefore the Mets went on to win the game in the 10th inning.
So far on this 11-game road trip, that's the only win the Mets have gotten, as they lost the three before and four after.
Trying to continue the National League pitchers' run against the Mets will be Vincente Padilla. When healthy, Padilla has been phenomenal this season, so the Mets may have another excuse already lined up should they fail again. After all, every pitcher, according to the Mets, recently has had his "good stuff" against them.
After getting handed the ball on Opening Day against the Pirates and getting crushed, Padilla has settled in nicely. He did spend the entire month of May on the disabled list.
He pitched a gem against the Cardinals in his last start on Sunday in St. Louis. In the start, he went six innings, allowing only one hit, but he did walk five. The Dodgers would go on to lose the game, 5-4.
Last night, Dodgers manager Joe Torre elected to use his setup man Hong-Chih Kuo in the ninth inning to save the game, citing stomach problems as the reason for Broxton's absence.
Thing is, the Dodgers don't allow Kuo to pitch in consecutive games, so he won't be available tonight. On those days, when Kuo doesn't pitch, the Dodgers have had a hard time winning games.
That doesn't matter right now for the Mets. They aren't doing anything against anyone. Tonight's Mets lineup is to be determined.
Jason Bay may get a second straight game off, and any of three catchers can play, although it's likely to be Henry Blanco for Johan Santana.
The Mets need wins, that goes without saying, and they'll try again tonight.

Stronger……that's what you have with the right network! Your network matters.
Over the course of my professional career, I have relied on my ability to create relationships and creatively network up through organizations. It isn't easy and it takes dedicated effort to continually grow and expand this fabulous network.
Building a powerful network requires work, creativity, and tenacity. It means putting in the effort to develop lasting relationships and adding value to every connection without asking for anything in return. That "serve first" attitude comes across far more genuine and provides you with the best chance of growing your power and status.
And in this 24-7 era of news, rapidly changing technology and vapid attention-spans, you need to stand out from the crowd and in the minds of the right influencers.
Networking is all about the long-game! It does not happen overnight and you need to be able to develop trust and credibility with your network. Exchanging business cards in a single meeting is not going to get you anywhere and can't even remotely be considered networking.
And you need a CONFIDENT ATTITUDE! Think about it……when you are surrounded by high caliber people, you up your game! You are a reflection of the people you surround yourself with.
You need to research, research, research. Identify the organizations and specific people you need to know and they need to know you. Leverage social media in your preparation via LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
Attend the right events…not every event……the right ones.
Identify and follow influencers online—see what they are up.
Promote influencers in your network.
Make introductions. This is HUGE! Bringing people together is one of the most important ways of expanding your network and adding value to the connection.
Give referrals without expecting anything in return.
And, remember to always think about how you can add value to your connections.
So "what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger." Get uncomfortable and stay that way!
This requires building a network of influencers and meeting new people way up above you. People who operate at high levels and will help you push the boundaries of your networking comfort zone.


Recent history of intervantion by the West in the Middle East has shown fundamental flaws, but we mustn't allow a vacuum to develop in Syria, which could be exploited by those wishing to further their own agenda, said West Midlands MEP James Carver, speaking during a debate in Strasbourg today.
He said people, such as the Kurds, must be allowed to remain an important balance in the region, especially in relation to the protection of the different faith and ethnic groups across Middle Eastern society.
Mr Carver added: "We must approach the future of Syria, both for the future prosperity of the Syrian people and for our own security and influence in the West, in a sensible and coherent manner."

The house of Limburg Hohenlimburg (later Limburg-Hohenlimburg-Broich) took its name in the 12th century from the county of Limburg on the river Lenne in today's Germany. After Diederick of Isenberg had claimed part of the former property of his father Frederik of Isenberg with the help of uncle Duke Hendrik of Limburg, he built the Hohenlimburg castle on the river Lenne. His youngest son Everhart succeeded him in the county at the end of the 13th century and is the ancestor of the family branch of the counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg and Broich. His eldest brother Johan (1247-1277), died at the age of thirty, left three children. The Counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg and Broich were not only a count by name (title), but actually ruled the county of Limburg-Lenne until the first quarter of the 16th century. The last count Johan (1464-1511) who had no descendants of his own. None of his only two male relatives, cousins Diederick and Adolf of Limburg, sons of his former godfather Johan of Limburg (1421-1472), had inheritance rights, as explained below. To prevent the family of his former wife Von Neuenahr from taking the county, Count Johan adopted his cousin Irmgard of Sayn at her marriage to Winrich of Daun. She and her husband inherited the county.

Position in Early Middle Ages

The former counts of Limburg were a branch of the House of Berg, which was among the most powerful dynasties in the region of the lower Rhine during the Early Middle Ages. Historians by name among others Oedinger, Lewald, Kimpen, Rudiger link this House to "Hermann II(I) Pusillius (945–996)" heir of an even older dynasty, the Ezzonen, going back to the 9th century. Since the 9th century,  the house of Limburg Hohenlimburg counted five Counts Palatine of Lothringia, several Dukes of Westphalia, Bavaria, Carinthia and Swabia, seven Archbishops of Cologne, one Prince-Bishop of Speyer, more than ten bishops in the Holy Roman Empire, and at least two saints of the Catholic Church. The territorial authority of the family, (counts of Berg since 1077), next counts of Altena and Isenberg and then since 1246 counts of Limburg, was significantly reduced following the opposition of Frederick II, count of Isenberg to the aggression of his cousin, the Archbishop of Cologne, Engelbert II of Berg. Leading to the murder of the latter. The other branch, the counts of the Marck, later rose in importance as dukes of Cleves, Jülich and Berg, dukes of Nevers and Bouillon, counts of Schleiden, etc.

The Ezzonian Dynasty

The Ezzonen appear in the chronicles with Erenfried I.(866–904), count of the Bliesgau, Keldachgau and Bonngau. Erenfried I. married Adelgunde daughter of Konrad II of Burgondy and Jutta of Friaul. He had Carolingian ancestors along the female line since Jutta von Friaul was the daughter of Gisela (820–874) sister of king Charles the Bold. The Ezzonian dynasty (named after Count Palatine Ezzo) were the Counts Palatine of Lotharingia during the 10th and 11th centuries. They were important in governance of the region of the Middle and Lower Rhine. In spite of their military accomplishments in favour of the German emperors, the Ezzonians did not succeed in building a territorial entity in Lotharingia. During a limited period, they were, however, assigned the duchies of Swabia, Bavaria and Carinthia. Eberhart I. Propinqus of king Hendrik I, was count of the Keldacha and Bonngau. Mentioned in charters 904–937. As son of Erenfried I, he followed his father and married a daughter of Herman II count of the Wertigau, among others "Vogt of the Abby of Werden". (The later Count Frederik of Isenberg, who dies in 1226, inherited part of this guardianship of the abbey of Werden and of the abbey of Essen). Erenfried II., the second son of Eberhard I, called after his grandfather, was count of the Zulpichau, Bonngau, Keldachau, Tubalgau and Ruhrgau. Mentioned in charters 942–972.

Two sons are known from that marriage, Herman (III), Count of Keldachgau and Adolf I, defensor Tuitiensis guardian of Deutz.  Both mentioned in charters between 1003 and 1041. Adolf I, fifth and youngest son of Herman II was also mentioned Advocadus. On the river Duhn, in the middle of the former Ezzoner Keldachgau, about 30 km east of Cologne, Adolf built castle Berg near today's Altenberg. He was the youngest (half-brother) of Ezzo, founder of Brauweiler Abbey, who was brother-in-law of Emperor Otto III, married to Mathilde. She was brought up by her older niece Abbess of the monastery of Essen, who also named Mathilde . The famous Mathilde cross, kept in the Abbey Essen, is a reminder of her. Adolf in turn was a brother-in-law of the youngest Mathilde, Abbess of Essen. The Ezzoner Adolf I is the direct ancestor of the later Counts and Dukes of Berg. He was followed by his son Adolf II mentioned in charters in 1041, count in the Keldagau en Bruckterau. Married a daughter of count Heinrich II of Westphalia and died approx. 1091.

His youngest son, Bruno II, Archbishop of Cologne, died in 1137 in Apulia on campaign with King Lothar of Germany against Roger II of Sicily. The Abbey of Altenberg became the main resting place of the counts and dukes of Van Berg, located in the middle of Keldachgau, the former Ezzoners gau in the 10th century, to the right of the Rhine east of Bonn, Cologne, Duisburg. On either side of the river Wupper. South of the river Ruhr and north of the river Sieg. The Ezzoner origin of the house of Berg corresponds with the location of their counties and the fact that descendants from the house of Berg, in the 11th up to 13th century occupies important positions. Archbishops of Cologne, Trier, bishops of Munster and Osnabruck, Abbis and Abbot of Abbeys and the counts were the keepers of guardianship Essen and Werden on the river Ruhr.

He brought stability and prosperity to the county. In July 1189 he was killed on his way to the Holy Land during the Third Crusade. Their son Engelbert II of Berg, Archbishop of Cologne,Regent of Berg from 1218 till 1225, is better known as Saint Engelbert of Cologne. He was killed by companions of his cousin Frederick of Isenberg (see below).Irmgard was the next heiress of Berg until 1248, married to Henry IV Duke of Limburg since then he also was Count of Berg.

Counts of Berg - Altena

The younger brother of count Engelbert I of Berg, Eberhard I, Count of Berg-Altena was also known as Eberhard I of Altena. He inherited the eastern territory of county of Berg and took residence at the castle of Altena. He was married to Alvaris of Arnsberg and was the younger brother of Count Engelbert I. of Berg. From 1166 he is the ancestor of the branch Altena. Their sons Arnold and Frederick, with the agreement of their brother Adolf Archbishop of Cologne, shared their father's territory. Arnold I of Altena-Isenberg ancestor of the Counts Altena Isenberg, inherited the north-western territory of Altena (on the river Ruhr, nearby Hattingen) in 1200. He founded the line of the counts of Isenberg followed by the counts of Limburg (see below). Frederik I of Altena-Mark the youngest, inherited the south-eastern territory of Altena, and founded of the line of the Marck, from which descend the dukes of Cleves, Jülich and Berg, the dukes of Nevers and Bouillon, the counts of Schleiden, etc.

Counts of Altena - Isenberg

Frederick, Count of Altena Isenberg. He completed the castle of Isenberg on top of the mountain Isenberg. A conflict arose with his uncle Archbishop of Cologne, Engelbert II of Berg about the management of the monastic property when he wanted to expropriate his guardianship. On his way back from the town of Soest (located to the east of Dortmund) where uncle and nephew had negotiated in vain, to Cologne, Frederik raided his uncle Engelbert nearby Gevelsberg. In happened in the late afternoon of the 7th of November 1225, with the help of allies who also had serious grievances against the Archbishop's practices. The intention was to kidnap him as a hostage to castle Isenberg. A means of breaking a deadlock over disputed rights more often tried at that time. Accepted as long as it was a success. But in this case ended in tragedy. Archbishop Engelbert was unluckily killed. This event was of far-reaching significance to German history. Frederik fled and found temporary protection with an ally, count Otto of Tecklenburg. Frederick of Isenberg was outlawed and excommunicated. He was stripped of all offices and stewardships and his personal wealth was confiscated. In the winter of 1225/1226 the new Archbishop of Cologne, Heinrich von Müllenark, besieged and destroyed his castle Isenberg. (At present the ruin is a national monument). His cousin, Adolf von der Mark, was attributed large portions of Frederick's possessions. Frederik's wife, duchess Sofie of Limburg, found shelter at the castle of Limburg (Veste), where her brother duc Hendrik of Limburg received her with the children. Sofia would die a year later with her youngest child. Traumatized after supporting her husband in Cologne during the brutal execution.

Frederik's brothers, Diederik bishop of Műnster, Engelbert, bishop of Osnabrück and Bruno at that moment cleric in Osnabrück were removed from office. Bishop Diederick died on his return journey from Rome where he travelled with brother Frederik to the Pope for penance. Later on Bishop Engelbert returned as bishop and was followed in office by Bruno. A large sum of blood money had been put 2,100 silver marks on Frederik's head. While he was sleeping in an inn near Arlon, dressed as a merchant, where he spent the night, he was cunningly taken by surprise and taken to Cologne. In the tumultuous trial in Nuremberg a few months later, a staircase collapsed, killing many of Frederik's supporters and opponents. Frederik van Isenberg was convicted, taken away from his county and possessions, and put to death on the wheel in Cologne on November 13 in the year 1226 in front of St. Severin's church. Sofia stayed by his side that day and night. Early in the morning of November 14 he breathed his last.

The Battle for a Lost County

Frederik's sons Diederick of Isenberg, (1215–1301) and Frederik junior who died as a teenager, were brought up at the ducalcourt by their uncle Hendrik. At a young age they fought with the support of knights of their uncle to reclaim lost property. Diederick built a wooden fort and nearby a stone castle as a support point on the Schleipenberg (near Hagen Germany), the castle Hohenlimburg named after his mother's family. In 1241–1242 he built a second castle New Isenberg opposite the town of Werden on the river Ruhr. On May 1, 1243, he was formally recognized as count of part of his father's recaptured territory. Until then he call himself 'Van Isenberg' later on Diederick I of Limburg (1215–1301). Of Diederick's sons, the eldest son Johan died at the age of thirty and left two sons and one daughter. He is the ancestor of the lords of the territory of Stirum ('Heren van Limburg Styrum').) His younger brother Everhard continued 30 years more, the struggle together with his father for the conquest of former Isenberger family property.

Battle of Woeringen 1288
They came into a difficult position when Diederick's nephew, Duke Walram V of Limburg, died in 1280. The Limburg Succession War (1283–1288) around the Duchy of Limburg erupted in fury. At Battle of Woeringen Saturday 5 June 1288, just north of Cologne on the river Rhine, the Duke of Brabant and his allies defeated Van Mark, Gulik-Loos, Bergse sergeants and Cologne civilians in a devastating battle of the Cologne Archbishop Siegfried van Westerburg with allies, Gelre, Valkenburg and Kur-keulen sergeants. Diederick of Limburg with son Everhard did not personally participate, but did support the Cologne archbishop. As a result, great-nephew Count Everhard of the Mark, who had sided with Duke Johan I of Brabant and was one of the victors, destroyed the Neuen Isenberg and took and occupied the Hohenlimburg. Diederik, Everhard and family members fled to their castle Styrum (near present-day Oberhausen), where Diederik died in 1301 at an (for that time) very old age.

Succession of the territory Broich

Everhard I. succeeded his father and was able to return to the Hohenlimburg in 1304. He is the ancestor of the family branch of the counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg. But shortly until his death in 1308, he ruled the county and was then succeeded by his son count Diederick II. He also survived his son Everhard II who died on 11 November 1344. In 1401 grandson Diederick III succeeded his grandfather as count of Limburg Hohenlimburg and married on 3 July 1371 to the heiress Lukarda of Broich. The Lordship of the territory of Broich came to the counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg.

Counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg & Broich

The two sons of Diederik III count of Limburg Hohenlimburg and Broich, Count Willem I and brother Diederik IV shared the family property. Willem chose the Hohenlimburg for his residence and Diederick IV the Broich castle. But both retained rights to the Hohenlimburg and Broich. Count Willem I. married Metta of Reifferscheidt and had a son who died young. His daughter Margaretha married Gumprecht II. of Neuenahr, heiress of Cologne and lord of Alphen. Diederick IV. of Limburg married Henrica of Wisch, from the family of the Banner lords of Wisch in Gelre. As soon as count William I died in 1459, his son-in-law Neuenahr hastened to usurp the county with Hohenlimburg Castle. He invoked his marriage treaty and had used his position to assure himself with the German Roman King Frederik that he would lend him "vom Reich zu Lehnen" with the county. Diederick's (IV) sons Willem II, Diedrick V and Hendrik I undertook firm counter-action. Occupied the Hohenlimburg and had duke Gerhard of Gulik-Berg lend to them the county. The king was declared incapable of jurisdiction because Limburg was not a state-county under the king, but a fief of the dukes of Berg. The Cologne Archbishop Vincius of Mors Saarwenden broke the impasse that had arisen. With a large number of witnesses on both sides, he mediates and decides in 1460 that the county and the Hohenlimburg become a condominium with Neuenahr. That was a considerable financial loss for the Limburgs because the proceeds had to be divided from now on. But the Neuenahrs did not get what they had been after, as it turned out later.

Johan, Last Count of Limburg Hohenlimburg Broich
The last count Johan, son of the eldest of the brothers count Willem II, married Elisabeth also a Neuenahr but left no children. Again it looked as if the county would come to the house Neuenahr. Johan, who was put under extra pressure from them about his properties' after the death of his wife, may have wondered why he too had not had children when he married a Neuenahr. As a widower, at the last minute in 1508, he dedicated his estate to his adoptive daughter Irmgard of Sayn at her marriage to Wirich V of Daun-Falkenstein. The Hohenlimburg, the county of Limburg with count title finally came in 1592 to the house Bentheim Tecklenburg, who ruled the county until 1808 and have owned the castle ever since.

Family 'Van Limburg'
Count Johan (III) had only two close cousins Dietrich and Adolf, sons of his godfather Johan (II) of Limburg (1421–1472).  Their uncle Count Hendrik determined that they were joint heirs. They were appointed as Wiltforster and Holzgraf of the Saarner forests, part of the county of Limburg Broich. Their father Johan, former provost of the Benedictine monastery Werden, was count Hendrik's brother. After 30 years in office, Johan left the monastery and married Anna Borckhartz zu Schenkenbush. This marriage took place under the testimony of the mayor Jacob Borken, brother counsel Johannes Borken and magistrate Rutger of Galen called Halswic of the city of Essen. At that time it was a legal but not equal marriage. Anna's family had their estate Schenkenbusch on loan from the abbey, some family members belonged to the city council of Essen. But they did not come from a noble family. The marriage was kept secret until 1553. That year on April 22, the lawyer Dr. Johan Amerdinck handed over an official deed to the abbot of Werden, Herman of Holthe, on the basis of which the legitimate right of inheritance was claimed by Willem of Limburg grandson of provost Johan. That was confirmed and accepted by the abbot. Before the end of the 16th century, these last patrilineal descendants of the former counts of Limburg Hohenlimburg left Germany during the devastating Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), for the Netherlands and settled in Gelderland. The current members of this last family branch "Van Limburg" still living in the Netherlands, some abroad.

Acupuncture is an ancient, proven healing art that is more than 2,000 years old. The virtually painless, minimally invasive technique involves the insertion of thin, sterilized, disposable needles into specific points on the body to manipulate the flow of energy, restore balance, and remove blockages.
In Oriental medicine, acupuncture points are directly related to specific organs and physiological functions. This principle has been confirmed by numerous research and scientific observations that show a body's physiological response through the manipulation of specific acupuncture points.
At New York PAPA Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine, we use precise and strategically designed treatment plans to help patients overcome a wide variety of ailments. We utilize a holistic, natural approach to ensure better healing with virtually no adverse side effects.
Many Americans are becoming aware that Western medicine alone does not always produce sustainable results and are increasingly turning to acupuncture as a natural way to heal their ailments without the harmful side effects of drugs and chemically based remedies.
Acupuncture is very effective for pain management, stroke patients, sleep disorders, panic attacks, anxiety, addictions, and has been found to be extremely useful for people who have not responded to conventional treatment. In fact, acupuncture is often a very effective form of pain management when treated by well-trained practitioners. Acupuncture has broader applications and can provide lasting, long-term relief.


FIBO continues to expand as Europe's leading trade show in the industry with investments in the millions, new service offers and the expansion of its international presence. The aim, according to FIBO Event Director Olaf Tomscheit, is to further improve the quality and international reach of FIBO with a broad investment programme.
Düsseldorf/ Essen. FIBO continues to expand as Europe's leading trade show in the industry with investments in the millions, new service offers and the expansion of its international presence. The aim, according to FIBO Event Director Olaf Tomscheit, is to further improve the quality and international reach of FIBO with a broad investment programme. "Now is the time, in challenging economic conditions, that we must set the course that will define the future of the industry," added Olaf Tomscheit, who took over at FIBO in 2006 and has guided it back to success.
A good example of internationalization, which has already witnessed a significant expansion during the past years, is the establishment of another representation abroad. The new office in Great Britain aims to push forward the central recruitment of visitors in the future. The concept of 'FIBO Ambassadors' on the other hand is an entirely new one: The aim is for them to provide FIBO with a well-known, familiar face abroad and to represent it as popular 'PR ambassadors'. The new VIP programme for international trade visitors will focus on key account customers and help ensure a more convenient and comfortable journey to Essen in the future. This will include a new shuttle service between Düsseldorf Airport and the Essen Exhibition Centre.
New sales opportunities, additional contact with customers and a major plus in service in the future will be ensured by two major online projects, which were developed with a great deal of effort during the past months. The new electronic visitor registration system, which will be going live at the coming FIBO, will focus on customer proximity and improved service. The integrated online ticketing tool offers a new trade show experience that focuses on one thing: To spend as much useful time as possible at the fair. This will make visiting the trade show a lot simpler and, for those that register and buy their tickets online, also cheaper.
FIBO FINDER is an online platform that is entirely new in this form in the fitness industry. For the first time companies and business customers will be able to use a complete product and manufacturers' directory that allows them to search and contact manufacturers directly about specific products all year round.


Think Microsoft has the market cornered on Photoshop blunders? Think again. These ten Photoshop goofs show how imperfect tech firms can be.
Can't Find the Assets? Steal 'em!
Microsoft was just the latest tech company betrayed by its graphic design and marketing departments. In swapping the head of a black man with that of a white man to bring an ad to Poland, the company has attracted plenty of negative publicity, ultimately forcing out an apology. But I'm inclined to agree with my colleague David Coursey, who says this is more a case of bad Photoshop than racism. After all, if Microsoft had taken an entirely new marketing photo and replaced the black man entirely, it probably wouldn't have created so much hysteria. With that in mind, Microsoft is hardly the first tech company to look foolish due to bad Photoshop jobs. There are plenty of other examples, documented by Photoshop Disasters and others, where company marketing tries to pull a fast one on its customers, only to have keener eyes prevail.
Here are 10 examples of Photoshop disasters, blunders and foul-ups from tech companies or products.
It's amazing what they're doing with cell phone cameras these days. Forget pixel count, this mystery phone is so advanced that it can apparently zoom back and take a picture of itself, taking a picture of its subjects. No word on U.S. pricing or release date.
Netbooks are all pretty much the same anyway, so why shouldn't two companies use the same stock photo in their ads? The computers are actually different, but that could've fooled us as well.
Just like the software, this runner and the track he's on should perfectly complement each other, but something's not right. The truth is in the shadows, the sunlight and the complete and utter failure of this Photoshop job.
This was probably not so much a disaster as a prank that the graphic designer thought would go unnoticed. I'm guessing the individual either got fired or promoted for helping sell so many desks.
You've seen this lady before, flaunting her sexuality on billboards and bus stop ads, but you probably didn't notice her unfortunate disfigurement. It appears she's been endowed with an extra finger, but has to carefully hide it for these kinds of glamour shots, otherwise her career could be ruined.
The best Photoshop disasters are like a magic eye photo. You have to stare at it for a few moments before you can see what's happening. Here's a hint: If you're looking at the SD card itself, you're doing it wrong.
Since their inception, laptops have been created with the idea that you can fold each side up into a convenient, rectangular package. Not so with Fujitsu's Lifebook A6120, which apparently sported a super-long screen to complement its traditional bottom half. Call it the first notebook with overbite.
Hands are just so stubborn when it comes to Photoshopping. With all those moving parts, it's hard to keep everything in proportion. That's why it's easier to just resize the hand and hope no one freaks out at the result. If this is the future, I'm a little frightened.
When I'm searching for screenshots, I always find the ones polluted by gaming Web site IGN's watermarks, so I feel Capcom's pain here. But seriously, as the publisher of Okami, wasn't there enough game art floating around that they wouldn't have to poach it from the press? Okami's a great game, though, so we'll give Capcom a pass.
This last Photoshop job is more freaky than funny. Apparently there's quite a bit of terrain out in Holland upon which Google wielded the clone brush with a heavy hand. I'm guessing it's got something to do with a certain herbal remedy, but any old conspiracy theory will do.

The Founding Partners
On July 1, 1923, Alferd J. Hill and Vincent B. Morgan, both 1909 graduates of the University of Southern California School of Law, set out to practice law under the name of Hill & Morgan. Hill had already established himself as a highly accomplished attorney, after serving 10 years as the first County Counsel for the County of Los Angeles; Morgan was widely recognized as a superlative eminent domain lawyer.
Two years later, the firm became known as Hill, Morgan & Bledsoe. Benjamin F. Bledsoe had been the then-youngest judge to be appointed to the Superior Court of the State of California. In 1945, the firm added William M. Farrer, a prominent corporate lawyer, as name partner to become Hill, Morgan & Farrer.
After Morgan passed away, the firm made its final name change in 1950 to Hill, Farrer & Burrill. Stanley S. Burrill was one of the "finest condemnation lawyers in the West." As a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers, he was listed among the most prominent trial lawyers in the United States.
Continued Growth
The firm established a broad clientele from the many commercial entities flocking to the growing city. In fact, much of the early work of the firm is still evident today in the infrastructure of the city, such as the curve of the 101 Freeway as it rounds easterly out of Downtown — the result of the firm's negotiation and litigation on behalf of a client which needed to retain its brewery to remain in business. As technology and society became increasingly complex, the firm's practice areas have grown to accommodate emerging and expanding fields of law to become a full-service civil law firm.
Enduring Values
Many law firms have come and gone since Hill & Morgan first opened its doors. Our 95 year history of success finds its roots in a few enduring values — stability, integrity and exceptional attorneys. We have always measured ourselves by our commitment to professional excellence, quality of service and client loyalty.

Built in 1968, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is the quintessential landmark of Nanjing City. It's been described by propaganda as one of the greatest achievements of the New China and its cliches can be seen everywhere, in school books, on posters and on TV. Recently this symbol of Chinese national honor has become a suicide magnet According to non-exhaustive statistics, in its history of 39 years, there had been over 2000 deaths from the bridge. Between 2003 and 2004, 234 suiciders ended their life jumping off the bridge.
