Car Trends & Innovations
How light will cars be in the future?
By: Cristen Conger
Light, but not small. The Loremo prototype weighs no more than a Smart Car, thanks to its materials. See more concept car pictures.

In the past decade, automobiles in the United States have followed the same trend as Americans' waistlines, growing bigger and bigger. We're not just talking about enormous models such as the Hummer and other full-size SUVs. Even sedans and mid-sized cars have ballooned. For instance, the 2007 Honda Accord outweighs its 1988 counterpart by almost 600 pounds [source: Woodyard].
Since fuel prices have risen as well, car companies and consumers alike are scrambling to find more efficient alternatives. Much of the mainstream attention has focused on different ways to power cars, rather than altering the body. But one promising solution that researchers and manufacturers have tossed around since the mid-1990s is the concept of an ultralight car.
The term started popping up in many places in 1993 with the kick-off of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles. This agreement brokered by then-Vice President Al Gore and the executives of the Big Three auto makers (Ford, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors) laid out a goal to build an 80-mile-per-gallon car by 2003 [source: Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles]. One cornerstone of the alliance was researching ultralight materials, such as carbon composites and lighter steels and plastics as a way to jolt fuel efficiency.
Just how light are we talking? German car startup company, Loremo, which stands for low resistance mobile, will soon put its first models on sale in Europe that weigh around 1,200 pounds (544 kilograms). To put that in perspective, that 2007 Honda Accord we mentioned earlier is 3,197 pounds (1,450 kilograms). And it's even lighter than the pint-sized, 1800-pound (816-kilogram) Smart Fortwo model. In exchange for the more svelte body, the Loremo LS gets around 120 miles to the gallon [source: Loremo].
Why does weight make such a difference? And how safe are these fitter models? We'll talk ultralight science and safety on the next page.
Size and Safety of Lighter Cars

The average car uses only 15 percent of its energy to actually move the vehicle and drive [source: FuelEconomy.gov]. Most cars on the road today lose all but that sliver of power to braking, friction, idling and having to haul piles of accessories [source: Lovins]. By slightly altering the design, prioritizing function over luxury and using lighter materials, those issues can be minimized. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, every 10 percent of weight reduction translates to a 7 percent increase in fuel economy.
Thanks to that significant exchange, one of the goals outlined by the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles was to reduce the weight of cars by 40 percent, or around 1,200 pounds (554 kilograms). But when thinking about ultralight cars like these, it's important to differentiate between mass and weight. The mass, or size, of ultralight prototypes car companies have revealed aren't smaller than the average compact. Rather, the weight of the materials involved makes the difference.
Cars weigh so much because many of them are made from steel parts and sizeable engines. Ultralight future cars will be made of lightweight products including plastics, aluminum and metal composites and other hybrid materials. By adjusting the weight of the car parts, companies don't have to sacrifice size and can also use smaller engines.
But what about safety? If an ultralight car rams into the side of a building, won't it crumple like a ball of paper? Well, yes, it may crumble, but its impact absorption will protect the people inside. According to the State Department, "carbon-fiber composites can absorb 12 times the energy per kilogram as steel [source: Lovins]." Researchers at MIT also have discovered clay nanotech particles that could be used to make ultralight, yet ultra-strong auto parts [source: Bullis]. By adding these tiny particles to materials, it reinforces them and forms a strengthened network for incredible durability.
For Loremo, addressing safety concerns involved creating an entirely new type of car frame. While most cars are designed to distribute impact around the passenger, the Loremo passes it under them. It does so by using a longer chassis, the frame on which the car sits, that runs along the length of the car to spread the force impact linearly. The company compares it to the same effect as striking a nail [source: Boston]. When hit, the nail doesn't break because its impact is directed along its length rather than at an angle. Also, by keeping the body close to the ground and adding air shafts that funnel air through the bottom of the car, it adds driving stability in the same way as featherweight racecars [source: Boston].
When will consumers start to see these ultralight phenomena on the car lot? The Loremo goes into production in 2010, and depending on its reception, it could set off a domino effect. To learn more about future car technology, cruise on to the links on the next page.

HomeHealth & BeautyRory McIlroy World's top golfers pulls out of Rio Games over Zika - my health and my family's health comes before everything else
Rory McIlroy World's top golfers pulls out of Rio Games over Zika - my health and my family's health comes before everything else
Rory McIlroy has pulled out of the Olympic Games in Rio because of Concerns about the Zika virus.
In a statement, McIlroy said that "my health and my family's health comes before everything else".
"Even though the risk of infection from the Zika virus is considered low, it is a risk nonetheless and a risk I am unwilling to take," said McIlroy, 27.
Vijay Singh and Australia's Marc Leishman have already pulled out of the games because of the Zika issue.
Earlier this month, four-time major winner McIlroy, who was set to represent Ireland in Rio, said that his concerns over the virus had eased.
The mosquito-borne virus has been linked to brain defects in newborn babies.
World number four McIlroy's decision is to a blow to a sport which will be making a return to the Olympics after a 112-year absence.
A number of top golfing stars, including major winners Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen, have already pulled out of the games for scheduling and family reasons.
McIlroy added: "I trust the Irish people will understand my decision.
"The unwavering support I receive every time I compete in a golf tournament at home or abroad means the world to me.
"I will continue to endeavour to make my fans and fans of golf proud with my play on the course and my actions off it."
Ireland's Olympic governing body said that it was "extremely disappointed not to be taking Rory with us to Rio" but added that it "respected his decision".
The Olympic Council of Ireland statement added that it had "total confidence that the games will be safe for all athletes".
"The OCI and our medical team have taken our lead from the International Olympic Committee on the Zika situation, as we do in all matters.
"We are now following the IOC's recommendations, as well as the recommendations of the Rio 2016 organisers, the World Health Organisation and national health authorities, to ensure that Team Ireland's athletes are kept fully updated with the latest and best advice and that they are equipped to take all necessary precautions."
After deliberating over the issue, Northern Irishman McIlroy announced in May 2014 that he had decided to play for Ireland and not Great Britain at the Rio Games.
The International Golf Federation also said it was "disappointed" by the decision, but added it accepted players each had to "weigh personally a unique set of circumstances".
Experts react to McIlroy's decision
Pregnant women have been advised not to travel to areas where there are outbreaks of Zika, while women have also been advised to avoid falling pregnant in these areas.
But the International Olympic Committee, following World Health Organisation advice, says it has "total confidence" the Games will be safe for athletes.
Jonathan Ball, professor of molecular virology at the University of Nottingham, said McIlroy's decision struck him as being "extreme".
"The chances of being infected by Zika virus is low, especially if you protect yourself from mosquito bites by covering up and using a good insect repellent. Most people infected don't even show any symptoms and serious illness, although reported, seems to be a very rare event," he added.
Dr Derek Gatherer, lecturer in biomedical and life sciences at Lancaster University, said: "If Mr McIlroy is contemplating becoming a father within a year or so, then it is a perfectly reasonable precaution to stay away from regions of active Zika transmission.
"On the other hand, if he is not going to become a father any time soon, he has little to worry about."

Top Social Media Trends and Digital Insights for 2016
The marketing landscape is a moveable feast. As much as we love working in an industry that constantly changes, it's often hard to keep abreast of the latest digital and social media trends. So to kick off 2016, the Mastermind team has summarised the big developments for you to factor into your 2016 marketing plans.
A handful of the following trends have featured in the hotlist for the past few years. Why? Their capabilities and role in commerce marketing are continually evolving and proving their merit. Other trends continue to escalate and need to be constantly monitored as to how quickly consumers adopt them and for you to implement quickly if significant for your business.
Consider how you can utilise these eight tools and technologies to remain relevant in 2016 and beyond:
1. "Mobile First" is the norm
How often do you use your mobile phone to look for information? For many, the phone is a constant (and only) source to research, connect and communicate. With more people now globally owning a smartphone than a toothbrush (yes it's true!), mobile has already outstripped desktop usage globally. It's anticipated in the Tune Mobile Marketing report that by 2020, 80% of the worlds population will own a smartphone. And yet, so many brand websites are non responsive and the mobile user experience is terrible!
So the lesson? If you haven't put mobile on your marketing agenda, it needs to be your key focus. Google has been prioritising mobile-enabled websites as part of its algorithm during 2015, so if you want to be found in organic search results without having to pay, optimising your mobile experience is imperative. At a minimum, this means a mobile-optimised and responsive website but could also include custom apps and mobile-targeted campaigns.
2. Facebook will out-perform other social media platforms but its audience will be older
Facebook continues to be the most used social media platform, with Smart Insights reporting Facebook's penetration is 81% of the total digital population and it's responsible for nearly 230 billion minutes of user engagement. Time spent on Facebook is nearly 18 times that of the next biggest social media network. Marketing-related conversations often focus on the lack of use by the younger generation, but it's worth noting that its older audience is on the rise.
For brands, the sheer velocity of Facebook users continues to impact organic reach numbers, especially when content is strong. Locowise November 2015 Facebook and Instagram findings showed that Facebook organic reach and engagement were at historically low levels. The average Facebook post reach was 7.15% of all page likes (8.94% for videos), 8.36% for links and 6.7% for photos. We've noticed this decline in organic reach for a number of brand pages, but when good content is published, organic reach rises to 30-40%.
To be effective on Facebook, quality content matters and subsequently, allocating funds to amplify the best performing content is key. Don't write off advertising on Facebook either – the platform constantly develops new cost-effective ways for brands to reach consumers.
3. Consumers' expectations for quality content will increase
We live in an age of content delivery – it's thrown at us from all angles. Think about your own experience – blatant sales messages are unwelcome and pushy, but content that is relevant and well produced is valuable and sharable.
Social Media Week's Review of 2016 trends noted, "Smart content creators will factor in users' preferences for video and image over text, their preference for custom content over shared content. And it is important to note that these preferences exist in B2B sector as well as B2C."
The need for quality content cannot be understated. Smart Insights Report survey for 2016 found that 28% of marketers reported content marketing as the most likely digital marketing technique to increase commercial returns in 2016.
With the desire for content comes the emergence of new social publishing formats. Snapchat Discover, Twitter Moments and Facebook Instant Articles heralded a focus on more innovative editorial features. Consistent and well-produced visual content continues to be a priority – gone are the days of publishing a random image in a blog or social media post and hope it gets traction.
4. Messenger apps are eating the traditional social media world
Studies have shown there are almost four billion people actively using messaging apps, from Facebook Messenger and What'sApp to KIK and Wechat. And Mobile Marketing Watch reports this figure could reach two billion by 2018.
Source: Emarketer
As consumers look for cheaper alternatives to SMS, MMS and voice calls, platforms like Facebook increase their focus on messaging apps to grow market share. Tech Crunch reports that Facebook Messenger app was the fastest growing app of 2015, with 31% YOY growth and an estimated 96,444,000 unique users. Don't forget that Facebook also paid $19 billion for What'sApp in 2014!
Not much data is available about website traffic uplift and sales success of brands using messaging apps but 2016 may be the year in which we gain more insight.
5. Paid advertising comes of age
Social media ads may be annoying for the user, but the reality is they are becoming more prevalent in news feeds, particularly as ad revenue is a core profit driver and as platforms need to show revenue growth to investment markets.
Social Media Today reports that in 2015, companies increased their social advertising expenditures by more than 30%. This spend has come from traditional digital formats being impacted by the evolution of ad blocking technology.
The evolution of ad blocking technology is making it more difficult to reach customers, and it's likely this evolution will fuel the growth of native and social media ads. Consumers are going to great lengths to block ads – highlighted by the rollout at the end of 2015 of Apple's support for ad blocking technology on iOS9. Social@ogilvy Trends report 2016 found that since then, ad-blocking apps rose to the top of the list in the app store. Expect to see android ad blockers supported in 2016.
Buyable pins will soon become common on Pinterest and more brands will start to use Facebook, Twitter and YouTube's buy buttons, and specifically targeted campaigns that are aimed at converting consumers in the customer journey. It's clear paid social will become a core component of online digital spend.
6. Personalisation
For marketing strategies that combine content and ecommerce, relevance is the biggest priority. Mass-market messaging no longer works – the more targeted and personalised the messages, the greater the impact.
The tools available to personalise communications continue to grow but to be successful, you need to map out the consumer journey and focus on the content being produced. This could be a welcome series for new e-newsletter members, or a series of trigger emails post purchase. Perhaps you can send a before-release note to your most loyal customers advising of new products or services with an incentive to buy?
Econsultancy noted, "By continually testing the key aspects of your communication strategy – tone and content, level of communication, frequency – you'll find the sweet spot for boosting your revenues while adding value to your customers."
7. Video continues to grow across multiple platforms
According to Cisco, video will account for 69% of all customer internet traffic by 2017, and it won't only be business generated. Many companies will leverage user-generated video in their content marketing strategies.
When talking about the rise of video marketing, Gary Vaneyerchuk, commented, "Whether it's video on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or Youtube, the content you need to be thinking about creating and marketing on social for your business is video. Period."
The role of video continues to evolve as consumer interaction grows. In 2015 we saw the explosion of live-streaming video apps like Periscope, Blab and Meerkat, so expect to see more innovative campaigns this year. Facebook has announced it will open its live feature to allow users to live-stream directly from the app to their newsfeed. Google will also continue to evolve its video hangouts.
Live video already has the power to connect you to your audience in a more personal way than blog posts, ebooks and even audio content such as webinars or podcasts. Plus, with live-streaming video there isn't quite as much pressure to edit and polish the content. You can be a little more off the cuff, which may scare some but may also be liberating in terms of time.
8. Marketing automation will evolve
Hubspot reports that as marketers today are spending at least 50% of their time on content, companies are coming up with more ways to automate marketing. Marketing automation alone is worth $5.5 Billion and is leading the way in lead generation and prospect nurturing.
While companies of all sizes can easily identify the value automation brings, these platforms are most effective when paired with content that is relevant for different buyer groups.
Salesforce noted "just as search engines seem to get smarter the more people use them, the way marketing automation platforms gather data and analyze it to produce insight will become more nuanced and specific."
We simply don't have room to list all the trends to watch out for in 2016 – the impact of wearable technologies is just another one on the list. Remember, the power of these trends is how you integrate them into your traditional marketing activities and not treat them as isolated activities. Success will also often come by not treating digital and social in isolation, ensuring there's a cross-functional approach across the organisation to implement initiatives successfully. Good luck! And remember the Mastermind team is here to help if you need ay direction in 2016.

Hello! My name is Ashleigh Oatts and I'm taking over for Jason as the TAH Grant Assistant. I've been all over Knoxville and middle Tennessee working in museums and historic houses, so I won't list them all, but currently I work as the Assistant Director at Marble Springs State Historic Site (John Sevier's home) when I'm not at ETHS. Some of you all may have met me on a TAH trip to Blount Mansion- I worked there from July 2010- June 2011.
I worked with the Teaching with Primary Sources across Tennessee (TPS-TN) program while I was in graduate school, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite things found within the Library of Congress Web site to introduce you all to me. If you receive the TPS-TN newsletter, you may have seen these before, since I eagerly looked forward to writing about all the cool links/ images/ games I would find. I've stayed away from the areas usually covered in Level I workshops from TPS.
"How the States Got Their Shapes" Webcast : I just discovered that a television show exists now on the History Channel, but the author of the book that inspired it, Mark Stein, gave a talk that was turned into a Webcast by the LOC. What's even better is that if you don't have time to watch the whole Webcast, the transcript is available. I'm not even going to spoil it, but there's a great bit about Kentucky and Tennessee that I didn't know about.
Presentations & Activities: Did you know that the LOC has games geared towards students (but are equally fun for everyone?) As part of my job, I looked at every link under Presentations and Activities (be sure to notice that "Activities" requires an extra click), and I've got to say, "It's No Laughing Matter" and "The Declaration of Independence: Rewriting the Rough Draft" were my favorites (trust me- this was a hard decision to just keep it to two!) Don't forget to check out the Presentations page- there are so many great links here too.
Veteran's History Project: My favorite time period is World War II, so it's no surprise that I like this part of the Web site. Those teaching 11th grade can also PARTICIPATE! Also- this project isn't limited to just World War I and World War II. It covers all wars that America has been involved with since World War I, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
Today In History: So, I may have stretched the truth a bit- this one does seem to get covered in Level I training, but I wanted to point out my favorite feature: "Archives". Want to see what happened on a specific day (say… your birthday or special event or something)? Or, want to see what events mention specific names or places? That can all be found through Archives.
I hope this list provided some cool new areas of the Library of Congress's Web site for you to check out! I look forward to working with all of you.

Mother è una canzone di John Lennon, contenuta nel suo album solista John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, uscito nel 1970.

Una versione rimaneggiata e più corta del brano venne successivamente pubblicata anche come singolo, il 28 dicembre del 1970, solo per il mercato americano. In seguito venne inserito anche sulle raccolte Shaved Fish (del 1975), Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon (del 1997) e nell'album concerto Live in New York City, pubblicato postumo nel 1986.

Il brano
Durante i primi mesi del 1970 Lennon, insieme alla moglie Yōko Ono, si sottopose un ciclo di terapia psicanalitica (primal therapy) con il dottor Arthur Janov, basata sulla rimozione delle difese psichiche del paziente, alla ricerca dei traumi più profondi, associati ad esperienze del passato e riferite (nel caso del musicista) alla perdita e all'abbandono da parte dei suoi genitori e, che alla fine, venne descritta dallo stesso come: «qualcosa molto più importante dei Beatles».

Durante quel periodo, trascorso prima nella sua residenza inglese di Tittenhurst Park, per tre settimane, e poi al Primal institute di Los Angeles, in California, per altri quattro mesi, Lennon scrisse sia il testo che la musica di Mother.

Il brano, introdotto da un lugubre suono di una campana a morto e caratterizzato, nella parte conclusiva, dalle grida strazianti di Lennon (Mama don't go, daddy come home), venne poi registrato, presso gli EMI Studios di Abbey Road, a Londra, con la collaborazione di Klaus Voormann al basso, di Ringo Starr alla batteria e con la produzione di Phil Spector (oltre che dello stesso Lennon e della moglie Yoko).

Nonostante il titolo (Madre), il testo del brano, fa riferimento al difficile e doloroso rapporto del musicista con entrambi i genitori che si separarono quando John aveva due anni, affidandolo a una zia: il padre (Alfred), che lasciò la famiglia quando John era ancora un bambino, e la madre (Julia), che invece non visse mai con lui e morì investita da un'auto guidata un poliziotto ubriaco fuori servizio, quando Lennon aveva solo 17 anni. Più che un tributo affettuoso, quindi, il brano è un vero e proprio atto d'accusa nei confronti dei genitori. Nel corso della sua carriera, Lennon compose altre due canzoni dedicate alla madre: Julia e My Mummy's Dead.

Il singolo
Nonostante considerasse Mother una delle sue canzoni preferite, Lennon era dubbioso circa le capacità commerciali del brano e considerò quindi inizialmente l'idea di pubblicare Love come singolo.

Il brano venne invece poi pubblicato come singolo, ma per il solo mercato statunitense e in una versione notevolmente più corta rispetto a quella dell'album e in parte rivisitata con l'esclusione, tra le altre cose, sia del suono delle campane a morto poste all'inizio del brano, che di alcune urla gutturali di Lennon, alla fine della canzone. Sul lato B del disco venne inserito il brano Why di Yōko Ono.

 Mother (John Lennon) - 3:38
 Why (Yoko Ono) - 5:37

Cover
Barbara Streisand ha pubblicato una cover del brano sul suo album Barbara Joan Streisand, uscito nel 1971 .
Mia Martini registrò una versione in italiano della canzone nel 1972, con il titolo Madre.
Nel 1998, David Bowie ha registrato una versione del brano destinata ad un disco di tributo a John Lennon. Inizialmente prevista per il 2000, l'uscita dell'album venne successivamente accantonata, cosicché la versione di Bowie rimase inedita.
 Christina Aguilera ha reinterpretato il brano in occasione della pubblicazione della raccolta Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, uscita nel 2007.
Lou Reed eseguiva dal vivo il brano in concerto durante il suo tour del 2011.

I hired Risa when I needed a new website for my coaching business.
When I first found her I had no idea about her experience or reliability, but seeing the previous websites she had created gave me the assurance that she had the qualifications to do the job.
Throughout the design process she provided loads of helpful suggestions and recommendations and I really appreciated her responsiveness, positive attitude and the actions she took when facing a challenge.
Would I recommend hiring her? Yes of course!
From the offset Risa has offered excellent support , advice, and technical know-how designing my new website for my yoga business. I'm a complete novice with technology, but throughout the process Risa patiently answered every question that I had and explained every technical term that I didn't understand to ensure that I really got the most out of my website- including optimising it for SEO and making it mobile responsive.
I had wanted an update to my old website which had felt a bit stale, and Risa came up with a fresh new design that I feel conveys my message to my customers with more clarity and confidence. She has put together a really helpful pack which helps you to develop your brand if you don't already have a colour scheme/logo etc. Although I already had those in place, I could see that the pack was a really valuable resource that talks you through each step of developing a unique and solid brand identity.
Risa was highly communicative, using a clever piece of software called Asana to help us both keep track of the tasks that needed doing. I found it really helpful to have the project broken down into small manageable tasks that were due at different dates as it made it feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Asana reminds you when your tasks are due, and on the few occasions that I was not able to get things done in time, Risa was really flexible in extending the deadline.
Risa has worked tirelessly and with obvious skill and aptitude to design a website that I feel really excited to share with the world. What could have potentially been a bit of and an overwhelming project has been totally stress free and I'm delighted with the results.
I'm so lucky and grateful to have found Risa! I don't think I have enough space to provide all the praise I want to give Risa. She is amazing!!
Working with her has been a wonderful experience. First, she is the most patient person I have ever worked with. I'm very picky and a big perfectionist, so throughout the website design process, I always had things I wanted to change around and I would constantly change my mind about small details. Risa never minded changing or tweaking things or trying different things until I was completely happy with every aspect of the design.
Second, she is very knowledgeable and experienced in website design. I was very impressed with her technical skills. She always had a way to fix issues and when there was no way, she would create one!
Third, Risa was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Whenever I had a question about anything related to web design, coding, or even business development, Risa was always there happy to help and provide great insights.
Because I'm fairly new to the online world, I always had multiple questions about everything and Risa was always happy to help. Sometimes she would go out of her way to provide information and guidance on things that I needed help with. She always had great suggestions about applications or plugins that would improve my business.
Finally, Risa is the sweetest designer to work with. She has a great, positive attitude in everything she does. Communicating with her was always easy and smooth. She loves what she does and she is great at it. This shows in the product she delivers. I'm so happy I chose Risa's services for my website design and I would recommend her to anyone!
Risa's talent and service exceeded my expectations. She truly wants her clients to have the best website and is an expert not only in design but with the overall content flow and copy structure.
Her system to keep me on track with all the details required to create a website made the overwhelming task manageable. Her suggestions took my website to the next level. Risa is very patient, kind, organized and easy to work with.
I would not hesitate to hire her for your next project.
This package combines my website design process, with a bespoke branding & graphic design service to provide your business with a whole new look!

New Kent is one of the oldest counties in Virginia, dating to 1654, when English colonists built palatial homes along the Pamunkey River. They named it after their native Kent, England. British, Continental, French, Union and Confederate troops – as well as Powhatan Indian tribes – have all walked through these forests, adding to the sense of history that surrounds our community. The area around Patriots Landing has played host to many well-known figures. George and Martha Washington were married in nearby St. Peter's Parish.

In spite of being once interested in Nietzsche's works, and being inspired by the English associationism to adopt an empiricist model to psychoanalysis, Freud's opinions about philosophy were rather almost always unfavorable.
Assuming psychoanalysis as a natural science and having, as a consequence, a presumed objective and neutral standpoint, Freud assumed it was philosophy which had to learn from psychoanalysis, not to contrary.
The same can be said about Lacan. Philosophy is spread out everywhere in all his spoken and written's works. Nonetheless, he disconnected psychoanalytic from philosophical discourse, as if both theory and clinics were immune from presuppositions.
If we, by chance, take those attitudes as typical philosophical positions mixed with candid beliefs, the more rigorous philosophy will appear as an urgent analytical and critical exercise in order to illuminate the columns and foundations, hardly visibles, which sustain both psychoanalitic theory and clinics.
Philosophy cannot suggest anything to psychoanalysis - it is an autonomous discipline-; but can ask for the elucidations of its concepts.
This website, connected to the Work Group of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis from Anpof (Brazil's National Association of Graduation in Philosophy) has the objective of sheltering and publicize some philosophical texts on psychoanalysis which have been produced in the latest years in Brazil. Particularly on Freud, Lacan and Winnicott. It is also part of its objectives to extend this task to both the philosophies of psychiatry and psychology, correlated activities which cannot be left untouched by the serious investigation.
So, look into the texts archive, check the schedule for the next conferences, symposiums, congresses, meetings, and courses, send your own texts for our archive, search for our Lacan's original texts collection, take also a look into the latest books publication in this area in Brazil.

A participatory evaluation model for Healthier Communities: developing indicators for New Mexico.
2000 Mar-Jun
Public Health Rep. 115(2-3):199-204
Wallerstein, N
Participatory evaluation models that invite community coalitions to take an active role in developing evaluations of their programs are a natural fit with Healthy Communities initiatives. The author describes the development of a participatory evaluation model for New Mexico's Healthier Communities program. She describes evaluation principles, research questions, and baseline findings. The evaluation model shows the links between process, community-level system impacts, and population health changes.

Content Libraries are container objects that can be used for VM templates, ISO files or vApp templates. These can be shared across multiple vCenters and in different locations. A new feature introduced to vSphere 6 so I suspect this to be on the exam in some respect.
Content libraries are not direct children of a vCenter system from an inventory perspective and do not inherited vCenter permissions. The direct parent for a Content Library is the global root, meaning an administrator must grant permissions to the user as a global permission.
To add a new global user I go to Web Client – Administration – Global Permissions – Manage – Add. First I add the user from the relevant domain.
To create a new Content Library I go to Web Client – Content Library – Create New Content Library. I first need to enter a name for the library and select which vCenter I will be creating it on.
Configure the library to either be a Local Content Library or a Subscribed Content Library. Local libraries are stored on storage local the vCenter, this can be directly on the vCenter server or on a shared datastore. Local libraries can be configured to be published externally should it need to be accessed by another vCenter and authentication can be configured to connect to the published content in the form of a password. Subscribed libraries are libraries published externally on another vCenter, you must enter a URL and enter the authentication password should it be setup. You can also select to download the content immediately or as it is accessed to save on disk space.
I will pick local content library and publish externally with authentication.
As it is a local library i must select what storage to use. Enter a remote file system path or an NFS URL is used to point directly to a vCenter server either a Windows box or the appliance. I will select a VMFS datastore that is presented to vCenter.
Once created if I right click the library I can import data such as ISO files directly to the library.
To browse to where these files are saved first browse the configured location and find the folder created with the content library identifier. The folder starts with contentlib followed by the identifier.
To clone a VM to a content library I right click a VM and choose Clone to Template in Library. I then need to pick the newly created local library.
As well as creating a local library you can also create a subscribed library and point it to another library, this can be the same vCenter, another vCenter or to a remote library offsite. This allows the potential to share ISO images or templates remotely. To subscribe to a library it must use a Subscription URL. To get a subscription URL from another vCenter you can get this from the settings of the local library. To continue my example I can find the URL from the recently created local library. Web Client – Content Libraries – Objects – Content Library – Manage – Settings – Edit. Find the link and copy it.
Once copied I need to create a new library Web Client – Content Library – Create New Content Library. I give it a name and this time use my other vCenter.
Now I point to the copied URL and add the password I previously set. Depending on the size of the library I can choose whether to download the content immediately or as it is needed.
Add the storage for this library.
Synchronisation of a subscribed library that is set with the option to download contents only when needed synchronises only the metadata for the library items from the published library, and does not download the contents of the items. This saves storage space. If you need to use a library item you need to synchronise that item. After you are done using the item, you can delete the item contents to free space on the storage.
When configuring a subscribed library choose to either Download all library content immediately or Download library content only when needed.
To ensure the contents of a subscribed library are up-to-date, the subscribed library automatically synchronises to the source published library on regular intervals. You can also manually synchronise subscribed libraries.
For subscribed libraries that are set with the option to download contents only when needed, synchronising the subscribed library downloads only the metadata of all the items in the source published library, while synchronising a library item downloads the full content of that item to your storage. If you use a subscribed library, you can only utilise the content, but cannot contribute with content. Only the administrator of the published library can manage the templates and files.
Once the subscribed library has been configured I can synchronise manually by right clicking the library and choosing Synchronize Library.
By default a synchronised library will be configured to automatically synchronise.
To change this automatic synchronisation from being enabled by default I need to change the settings for the Content Library Service. To change this I go to Web Client – System Configuration – Services – Objects – Services – Content Library Service – Edit. From here I can also change the auto sync refresh intervals and start and stop times for the automatic synchronisation.


This workshop fits for the ones who wishes to zoom inside to their own inner programme and break down their forms of thinking to the level of tiny particles. Inspired by several movement and mind techniques, we'll start the day with MoveMental session to disintegrate the states of mind and prepare the body to be warmer and wiser to begin to explore and rediscovered.
Through sessions of intensive improvisations, we'll continue to focus on the spectrum of creativity as required from dancers and performers of today. This will push us to a level that is not yet revealed, familiar and known as trans-personal dimension.
With a safe environment and personal attention will get back into our bodies instincts, sensations and playfulness, to find out how to get more conscious and in presence with our own Self intentional wishes to express dance.
This workshop is an invitation for you not to think a n y l o n g e r, but to dance yourself as unspoken language.

Yoga and Vedanta are the two largest surviving schools of Hindu traditions. They share many thematic principles, concepts and belief in self/soul, but diverge in degree, style and some of their methods. Epistemologically, Yoga school accepts three means to reliable knowledge, while Advaita Vedanta accepts six ways.[159] Yoga disputes the monism of Advaita Vedanta.[160] Yoga school believes that in the state of moksha, each individual discovers the blissful, liberating sense of himself or herself as an independent identity; Advaita Vedanta, in contrast, believes that in the state of moksha, each individual discovers the blissful, liberating sense of himself or herself as part of Oneness with everything, everyone and the Universal Self. They both hold that the free conscience is aloof yet transcendent, liberated and self-aware. Further, Advaita Vedanta school enjoins the use of Patanjali's yoga practices and the reading of Upanishads for those seeking the supreme good, ultimate freedom and jivanmukti.[160]
Cancer, a very common and sometimes fatal cause of unexplained (idiopathic) weight loss. About one-third of unintentional weight loss cases are secondary to malignancy. Cancers to suspect in patients with unexplained weight loss include gastrointestinal, prostate, hepatobiliary (hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer), ovarian, hematologic or lung malignancies.
Modern yoga was created in what has been called the Modern Yoga Renaissance[213] by the blending of Western styles of gymnastics with postures from Haṭha yoga in India in the 20th century, pioneered by Shri Yogendra and Swami Kuvalayananda.[214] Before 1900 there were few standing poses in Haṭha yoga. The flowing sequences of salute to the sun, Surya Namaskar, were pioneered by the Rajah of Aundh, Bhawanrao Shrinivasrao Pant Pratinidhi, in the 1920s.[215] Many standing poses used in gymnastics were incorporated into yoga by Krishnamacharya in Mysore from the 1930s to the 1950s.[216] Several of his students went on to found influential schools of yoga: Pattabhi Jois created Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga,[217] which in turn led to Power Yoga;[218] B. K. S. Iyengar created Iyengar Yoga, and systematised the canon of asanas in his 1966 book Light on Yoga;[219] Indra Devi taught yoga to many film stars in Hollywood; and Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandalam in Chennai.[220][221][222] Other major schools founded in the 20th century include Bikram Choudhury's Bikram Yoga and Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh's Sivananda Vedanta Schools of Yoga. Modern yoga spread across America and Europe, and then the rest of the world.[223][224]
Birth defects (cleft lip/cleft palate). If you take Qsymia during pregnancy, your baby has a higher risk for birth defects called cleft lip and cleft palate. These defects can begin early in pregnancy, even before you know you are pregnant. Women who are pregnant must not take Qsymia. Women who can become pregnant should have a negative pregnancy test before taking Qsymia and every month while taking Qsymia and use effective birth control (contraception) consistently while taking Qsymia. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to prevent pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking Qsymia, stop taking Qsymia immediately, and tell your healthcare provider right away. Healthcare providers and patients should report all cases of pregnancy to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088, and the Qsymia Pregnancy Surveillance Program at 1-888-998-4887.
Core: Yes. There are yoga poses to target just about every core muscle. Want to tighten those love handles? Then prop yourself up on one arm and do a side plank. To really burn out the middle of your abs, you can do boat pose, in which you balance on your "sit bones" (the bony prominences at the base of your pelvic bones) and hold your legs up in the air.
^ Werner writes, "The word Yoga appears here for the first time in its fully technical meaning, namely as a systematic training, and it already received a more or less clear formulation in some other middle Upanishads....Further process of the systematization of Yoga as a path to the ultimate mystic goal is obvious in subsequent Yoga Upanishads and the culmination of this endeavour is represented by Patanjali's codification of this path into a system of the eightfold Yoga."[138]
a technique for entering into other bodies, generating multiple bodies, and the attainment of other supernatural accomplishments; these are, states White, described in Tantric literature of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as the Buddhist Sāmaññaphalasutta;[41] James Mallinson, however, disagrees and suggests that such fringe practices are far removed from the mainstream Yoga's goal as meditation-driven means to liberation in Indian religions.[42]
The Bhakti movement was a development in medieval Hinduism which advocated the concept of a personal God (or "Supreme Personality of Godhead"). The movement was initiated by the Alvars of South India in the 6th to 9th centuries, and it started gaining influence throughout India by the 12th to 15th centuries.[177] Shaiva and Vaishnava bhakti traditions integrated aspects of Yoga Sutras, such as the practical meditative exercises, with devotion.[178] Bhagavata Purana elucidates the practice of a form of yoga called viraha (separation) bhakti. Viraha bhakti emphasizes one pointed concentration on Krishna.[179]
In 2008 between US$33 billion and $55 billion was spent annually in the US on weight-loss products and services, including medical procedures and pharmaceuticals, with weight-loss centers taking between 6 and 12 percent of total annual expenditure. Over $1.6 billion a year was spent on weight-loss supplements. About 70 percent of Americans' dieting attempts are of a self-help nature.[23][24] https://buzzingofferselfhelp.tumblr.com/

When are cars provided by reason of employment?
The First-tier Tribunal decision in David John Cooper and related appeals (TC02120), which was published on 20 July 2012, looked at the circumstances under which cars can be taxed as benefits in kind.
The circumstances of the case may be familiar to many practitioners. A private trading company, Leaside Timber & Builders Merchants Limited (the Company), had a number of directors who were also partners in a partnership, Cooper Management Services (CMS), which provided administrative services to the company.
CMS provided cars and fuel to each of the partners, and the cars were available for their private use. The fees charged by CMS to the Company were sufficient to cover the costs of CMS, including the costs of providing the cars. The question was whether the cars were made available to the directors by reason of employment.
Salient facts that were referred to in the decision include:
The cars were owned (outright or under hire purchase terms) by CMS and not by the company
The fees charged by CMS were in excess of a commercial rate, and were determined at such a level as would cover CMS's costs
CMS did not have any business other than providing services to the Company
All the partners were directors or members of a director's family
The tribunal took the view that CMS would not have existed were it not for the existence of the company; there was no commercial rationale for CMS to provide cars to the partners since they took no active part in the running of the business of CMS; there was no commercial rationale for the Company to pay such fees to CMS; although the cars were provided by CMS, but those cars would not have been provided were it not for the fact that the individuals were directors of the Company.
The Tribunal recognised that there is a level of double taxation since the individuals have an income tax liability on their share of the adjusted profits from CMS but also under the benefit in kind provisions, but that this arises "because the parties concerned have voluntarily chosen, upon advice, to arrange their affairs in a particular way. They have to live with the consequence of that."
The taxpayers tried to argue that any income tax charge under the benefit in kind provisions should be reduced by virtue of the "offset" provisions in s 132 and s 144 ITEPA 2003, by claiming that the amounts left in the partnership should be treated as contributions or payments for the use of the car. However the Tribunal disagreed, as in no sense do the amounts that the individuals "are required to pay" relate to payments for the use of the car or to make good the expense of the provision of fuel.
What does this decision mean?
Practitioners should take extreme care whenever their clients enter into a structure that purports to circumvent the benefit in kind rules for company cars. HMRC will always seek to protect their position whenever the benefit charge on cars is challenged.
If you would like further information in relation to this Tribunal decision on car benefits please contact the on TaxDesk 0845 4900 509 and ask for Paul Howard.

Tour at Two
Tuesday, July 9 @ Georgia Museum of Art
By Jessica Smith
David Hayes
A modernist at heart, David Hayes spent his 60-year career experimenting with abstract sculptural forms, processes and materials. The artist, who is also known for his towering metal sculptures of interlocking shapes in primarily colors, viewed pieces of jewelry as miniature sculptural works capable of interacting with viewers who encountered the wearer's body. "Sculptured Adornment: The Jewelry of David Hayes" presents approximately 40 of his talisman-like brooches and pendants, thoughtfully arranged in an order that emphasizes their one-of-a-kind, organic forms. The tour will be led by the museum's director, William U. Eiland, who served as curator of the exhibition.
