Massage is part of normal family life in India, and is used as part of natural healthcare, in order to maintain good health and help keep fit and supple. In India, there are many different styles of massage, using oils, herbal pastes and powders. However, Ayurvedic massage isn't a clinical treatment, and learning the basics of Ayurvedic massage with natural oils is straightforward and enjoyable. Ayurveda means 'the wisdom of life' and is the name given to an ancient Indian system for achieving and maintaining optimum health and balance. Ayurveda has several arms – yoga, herbs, diet, essential oils and massage. In India, Ayurvedic doctors train for many years to diagnose and treat imbalances and illnesses, and this traditional form of healing is used alongside orthodox, Western medicine.
Yoga teachers will find Ayurvedic Massage a useful addition to their skillset and could go on to learn Indian Head Massage or Thai Foot Massage too, in order to offer a range of treatments to complement their yoga teaching.
Your assessment will consist of a short written test. You will also carry out a client consultation and a full massage treatment using appropriate oils.

Gómez Farías metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City. It is an underground station with two side platforms served by Line 1 (the Pink Line) between Boulevard Puerto Aéreo and Zaragoza stations. It serves the colonias (neighborhoods) of Federal and Gómez Farías; the station receives its name from the latter, which in turn is named after Valentín Gómez Farías, the seventh president of Mexico (he served intermittently from 1833 to 1847). The pictogram depicts a representation of the Mexican Constitution of 1857, which was promoted by Gómez Farías during his tenure as the president of Congress. Gómez Farías metro station opened on 4 September 1969 with service westward toward Chapultepec station and eastward toward Zaragoza station. The facilities are partially accessible for people with disabilities as it has escalators. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 28,385 passengers, making it the 48th busiest station in the network and the 11th busiest of the line. Since 11 July 2022, the station has remained closed due to modernization works on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.

LAX Grows with Terminal Expansion
A $1.5bn upgrade of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has been approved by the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners. The upgrade will provide more room for overseas passengers and gates to accommodate large jetliners coming in a
A $1.5bn upgrade of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport (Lax) has been approved by the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners.
The upgrade will provide more room for overseas passengers and gates to accommodate large jetliners coming in and out of airport.
The Bradley West Project is expected to be complete by mid-2013 and has been funded by the sale of airport bonds.
The plan involved building nine new airline gates, which will serve super-sized jumbo jets including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and two airline gates are expected to open by early
The new gates are also expected to reduce A380 passengers' use of the remote gates located at the west end of the airport.
Passengers using the far gates will have to take a shuttle to the Bradley Terminal to be screened by federal authorities.
Several international carriers including Qantas Airways threatened to pull A380 services from LAX if it continued offering remote gates.
Under the plans, the terminal's old concourse area will be demolished to make way for two entirely new concourses on the north and south sides of the building.
One million square feet have been allocated for ticketing desks, baggage claim areas, security screening, lounges, shops and restaurants under the terminal plans.
An expanded federal customs inspection area will also be built, along with a pair of secured corridors connecting with Terminals 3 and 4.
The project is placed for its final consideration before city council approvals.
Airport officials and local economists said the upgrades were needed to improve the facility, however, international carriers have been concerned at rising fees increased to pay for terminal upgrades.

AR, VR Markets Primed for Rapid Growth
Improvements in display design and development are enhancing augmented and virtual reality systems, providing increased capabilities across the retail market.
FAROOQ AHMED, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
After experiencing incremental gains over the past decade, the augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) markets are poised for swift advancement as the technologies mature and find new uses. Market research firms predict that from 2017 to 2023, the global compound annual growth rate will be about 40% for AR and nearly 34% for VR. This means a $60 billion market for AR in just four years — up from $4.2 billion in 2017.
"Virtual and augmented reality have had their place in industry for more than a decade," said Marek Polcák, co-founder and CEO of VRgineers Inc., a Prague-based manufacturer of VR headsets. "But before 2010, devices often had limited display resolutions and slow refresh rates." In June 2018, the company unveiled its latest version called the XTAL (Figure 1). The previous iteration of the device was a finalist for the VR Awards' 2018 headset of the year.

Polcák credits improvements in display design, as well as faster graphics processing units, with helping to spur increased interest from the consumer market. "Retail is focused on [headset size] and affordability — it will always be entertainment driven." The business sector, he added, has seen a continuous but more gradual growth.
Several factors have confounded the widespread adoption of the technologies. Many necessary optoelectronic components are just beginning to miniaturize. These components must then come together in a format that will comfortably fit users who have differing facial structures, interpupillary distances, and tolerances for bulky headwear. In addition, AR/VR headsets have caused eyestrain, headaches, dizziness, and nausea.
Freeform future
Technological developments generally follow Moore's law; processors get faster and components increase in capacity and capability, while shrinking in size. Entire categories of optoelectronics have emerged under such developments, but smart glasses and headsets for AR/VR have only made occasional and fleeting appearances.
This is partly because lenses don't follow Moore's law. As a result, researchers and companies have had to devise new solutions to decrease the form factor of conventional head-mounted displays.
One solution, according to Jannick Rolland, is to depart from the reliance on traditional lenses and embrace freeform optics instead. Rolland is a professor of optical engineering at the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester in N.Y. and chief technical officer of LighTopTech, a noninvasive imaging company that she helped start in 2013.
"We need to use more complex lens shapes to design the sunglass-like form factor with large fields of view that people want," she said.
Freeform optics are essentially nonsymmetrical lenses that can be shaped, contoured, and stacked to produce a desired functionality. Their surfaces can now be machined to nanometer precision, and they have been used in nonimaging applications such as car headlights since the early 1990s — when the precision was only at the micron level.
Rolland has been exploring freeform optics for more than a decade. Because of their atypical shapes, they produce field-dependent aberrations with significantly different patterns than traditional lenses. In May 2018, Rolland's group published a methodology to design freeform surfaces within an optical system that accounts for aberrations and emphasizes manufacturability1.
"We now have a very good handle on the basic theory and method," she said. "We have also made a lot of progress in fabrication — with many kinds of materials."
VRgineer's Polcák said about the XTAL VR headset: "After intense sourcing and testing of all existing Fresnel lenses, we developed a unique optical system, based on one freeform, non-Fresnel, aspherical lens."
The headset's lenses provide a horizontal field of view (FOV) — the arc of what's observable from a stationary point — of ~180° and a vertical FOV of ~80°, depending on the user. The FOV for humans is about 210° horizontally and 150° vertically. Large FOVs can help mitigate some of the unintended uncomfortable physiological effects that VR users feel, such as dizziness.
According to Polcák, with each version of their headsets, the team focused on designing lenses that lowered distortion and artifacts, increased immersion and FOV, and made the headsets more compact. To develop the lenses, VRgineers established a separate joint venture with an Israel-based consortium of optical specialists — VR Optics Inc. — dedicated only to virtual and mixed reality optics.
Collaborative efforts
"Large challenges in optical design can best be met through collaboration," said Jose Pozo, director of technology and innovation for the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC).
In 2018, EPIC held a meeting on photonics for AR/VR in Stuttgart, Germany, which was hosted by SONY. The purpose, according to Pozo, was to bring together all stakeholders involved in the production of the headsets and encourage collaborations between suppliers, designers, and manufacturers.
"This is an emerging market where novel photonic approaches can offer advantages in performance, efficiency, size, and cost reduction," he said.
EPIC also hosted a meeting earlier this year on freeform optics at WZW OPTIC AG in Balgach, Switzerland (Figure 2). Pozo said he saw "both a problem and an opportunity" in the field of freeform optics. "It is difficult to find good, skilled, and experienced optical designers. This meeting was a great opportunity for the community to form strategic partnerships."

VRgineers' Polcák — who delivered a recent EPIC webinar on next-generation head-mounted displays — said, "If you need to consult or sort out an optical challenge, there is no better place to be than EPIC."
The promise of freeform optics and the complexity of AR/VR headsets led the University of Rochester's Rolland to establish the Center for Freeform Optics six years ago. The center, which she spearheaded, is a collaboration between industry and academia in the U.S. and is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
"There's a lot of innovation going on," she said, adding that the supported research was precompetitive. This allowed companies to benefit from the institutional knowledge of academic research labs, and allowed academics to benefit from the market-oriented knowledge of industry scientists. Volume manufacturing of freeform lenses for consumers could deliver lightweight head-mounted displays for a variety of applications.
Guiding the wave
Early this year at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Abingdon, U.K.-based company Wave- Optics Ltd. demonstrated the latest iteration of its diffractive waveguides, which can project images such as text messages, directions, and appointments directly into wearers' eyes. Waveguides are essential components in AR and mixed reality systems because they direct the path of light from a virtual illumination source or microprojector to the user (Figure 3).
Figure 3. WaveOptics' diffractive waveguides project images for AR directly into wearers' eyes. Waveguides enable users to see digital images overlaid on top of the real world — delivering crisp, undistorted text and stable imagery. Courtesy of WaveOptics.
Within the past six months, Wave-Optics has undertaken a series of partnerships with companies across the world that have allowed it to secure a position in the crowded field of AR/VR component manufacturing. These include partnerships with EV Group (Austria) for nanoimprinting lithography, Corning Inc. (U.S.) for glass supply, Goertek Inc. (China) for volume manufacturing, and Compal and Wistron Corp. (both in Taiwan) for original design manufacturing.
WaveOptics co-founder and director of engineering David Grey said, "We work with a broad range of partners across the ecosystem to ensure that we can deliver the high-quality, cost-effective AR solution that our technology enables."
The company went with a diffractive waveguide approach, rather than a reflective one, because of cost and manufacturing concerns. According to Grey, "Waveguides themselves are the most compact components that are capable of displaying AR images while giving a large eye box, which makes them very usable for different head shapes." The eye box is the area where one's eyes can scan while the virtual objects remain in focus. Larger eye boxes are often easier on wearers' eyes.
WaveOptics waveguides have been recognized for their 2D pupil expansion. Nanostructures in the component control the diffraction orders to display virtual objects with uniform brightness. Unlike the XTAL or other VR systems that fully encase a wearer's eyes, AR systems must contend with ambient light interference that can hamper the ability to see the images.
Grey is enthusiastic about the uses for the company's waveguides. "With a compact form factor," he said, "the applications are unlimited in commercial and consumer markets."
Future visions
According to EPIC's Pozo, "[The AR/VR] markets are being driven by the supplying of customized optics to the larger companies in high-volume compatible manufacturing processes, such as replication. EPIC has identified freeform micro-optics and diffractive optical elements as huge opportunities."
He cites potential growth for AR/VR in the home segment where the headsets would replace or complement smart speaker systems. He also sees virtual sports and tourism benefiting from the technology.
"It could be really useful for venues like art museums," Pozo said.
According to VRgineers' Polcák, his favorite use case is "telepresence, where you combine AR and VR." He envisions a situation in which a technician could use an AR system such as a Microsoft HoloLens 2, while a specialist at a control center would wear a VR headset such as an XTAL. The AR technician would capture the situation on the ground and create a 3D map, which would be projected to the specialist working remotely in the virtual environment.
"It's a really good example of how AR and VR can work well together," Polcák said, "supplementing rather than competing with each other."

If you ask me, chevron is kind of on its way out and ikat is ready to take its place as the "in" pattern. Ikat is popping up in fabric, home decor and clothes but I've yet to see any ikat shoes.
Since I had a bit of tie dye left over from tees, I decided to make some ikat sneakers. You don't have to be an artist to make these artsy shoes.
First up, this is my brush... It's an older bristled brush that has seen better days. While a new brush will also work well, an aged brush will give you some interesting lines when painting the shapes for the ikat pattern.
This project is great for that little bit of tie dye you sometimes have left over after dyeing shirts or whatnot. This dye remained after dyeing up a whole mess of tees with my nephews and I love that it won't be going to waste! For an effective ikat pattern, you'll need to use 2 colors but can use 3 also. Four or more may start to get too busy to see your pattern. When choosing your colors, remember that dye will blur together and create another color. You can tell by my finished shoes... it looks like I used 3 colors of dye but I only used 2.
I put my dye into a shallow crafting bowl to make it easier to access, but you can also dip your brush into your squeeze bottles. Take your lightest color and barely dip your brush into the dye.
Holding your brush with the bristles vertically, paint short lines to create an irregular diamond shape.
Continue the diamonds over the toe, around the sides and back of the shoe.
Rinse your brush very well and then paint on a border of vertical lines around each shape. As you work, your first and second colors of dye will blend in the middle to produce your third color.
Again, keep your designs irregular and inconsistent for the best results. Continue for the entire shoe.
If using additional colors, keep repeating these steps.
Work one shoe at a time so that your first dye color stays wet enough for a successful bleed. Imitate the basic size of the shapes on your first shoe on the second with all of your colors of dye.
While your dye is still damp, take a small amount of soft matte fabric paint in white and paint blobs and splotches near the center of each ikat. Since the dye is still damp, the paint will take better in some areas than others, giving you nice transparency.
Set the shoes to dry for a few hours.
To finish you'll need to rinse all of the dye out of the canvas of the shoes. In order to keep the white area as clean and white as possible, I prefer to toss my shoes directly into the washing machine for an extended cycle with dye catching sheets. These are sold in the laundry aisle in a box that looks like dryer sheets.
After washing the color on your shoes will be a bit lighter. Set someplace to dry completely. I like to place mine on a window sill in direct sun for a quick dry.
If you don't want to use dye catching sheets you will need to rinse your shoes out under a strong stream (I use the bath tub tap). Rinse very, very well to remove any stray dye. If dye is left in the fabric, as the shoes dry, the color will bleed onto the white spots and blur your pattern.
When dry, lace your new shoes up and get to stepping!

Power Sudoku2 was created by two Sudoku fans, looking for a better way to solve the puzzles. We founded Erasable Games to sell Power Sudoku2 and future games that can be played using dry-erase material.
Our mission is to make life more fun and save some trees in the process.
Sudoku puzzles can be mentally challenging and positively addictive.
At least 17 symmetrically placed, given numbers (clues) are printed in the grid as the starting point of the puzzle. Then, based solely on logic (not arithmetic), you must place single digits so that they are unique to each block, and to each row and column, until the entire grid is filled in.
As an example, if the digit 7 goes in the top left corner square (cell), then it cannot be anywhere else in the top left corner block, nor in the rest of the first row, nor the rest of the first column.

Q: Messed up on the inverse of $\cosh(x)$ but I don't know where I went wrong If someone can tell me where I went wrong, that would be extremely appreciated :)

The function $f:[0,\infty)\mapsto[1,\infty)$ defined by $f(x)=\cosh x$ is bijective. Find a formula for $f^{-1}.$

If $y=\cosh x$, then
\begin{align}
& y = \frac{1}{2}\left(e^x+e^{-x}\right) \\[5pt]
\implies & 2y = e^x+e^{-x} \\[5pt]
\implies & 2ye^x = e^x(e^x+e^{-x}) \\[5pt]
\implies & 2ye^x = e^{2x} + e^0 \\[5pt]
\implies & 2ye^x = e^{2x}+1 \\[5pt]
\implies & -e^{2x}+2ye^x - 1 = 0 \\[5pt]
\implies & e^x = \frac{-2y \pm \sqrt{4y^2-4(-1 \times -1)}}{-2} \\[5pt]
\implies & e^x = y + \sqrt{-2y+2} \text{ as $e^x>0$} \\[5pt]
\implies & x = \ln(y+\sqrt{-2y+2}) \\[5pt]
\implies & \cosh^{-1}x = \ln(y+\sqrt{-2y+2})
\end{align}

A: We have
\begin{align}
e^x &= \frac{-2y\pm\sqrt{(2y)^2-4}}{-2} \\[5pt]
&= \color{red}{y\pm\frac{\sqrt{4y^2-4}}{-2}} \\[5pt]
&= y\pm\frac{\sqrt{4}\sqrt{y^2-1}}{-2} \\[5pt]
&= y\pm \frac{2\sqrt{y^2-1}}{-2} \\[5pt]
&= y \mp\sqrt{y^2-1} \, .
\end{align}
Since $x$ is nonnegative, we know that $e^x \geq 1$. Hence, $y\mp\sqrt{y^2-1} \geq 1$. Notice that it has to be greater than or equal to $1$, not $0$ as you wrote in your question. Since $0<y-\sqrt{y^2-1}\leq 1$ for $y\geq1$, the negative branch doesn't work. Hence, $e^x=y\color{red}{+}\sqrt{y^2-1}$, and the result follows.

A: If $y=\cosh x$, then
\begin{align}
& y = \frac{1}{2}\left(e^x+e^{-x}\right) \\[5pt]
\implies & 2y = e^x+e^{-x} \\[5pt]
\implies & 2ye^x = e^x(e^x+e^{-x}) \\[5pt]
\implies & 2ye^x = e^{2x} + e^0 \\[5pt]
\implies & 2ye^x = e^{2x}+1 \\[5pt]
\implies & -e^{2x}+2ye^x - 1 = 0 \\[5pt]
\implies & e^x = \frac{-2y \pm \sqrt{4y^2-4(-1 \times -1)}}{-2} \\[5pt]
\color{red} \implies & \color{red}{e^x = y + \sqrt{-2y+2} \text{ as $e^x>0$}}\\[5pt]
\end{align}
Indeed you should get:
\begin{align}
\implies & e^x = y ±  (-1) \sqrt{y^2 -1} \\[5pt]
\end{align}
Then, following the justification given in the comments by Soheil, you can conclude that since $x \in [0,\infty)$, you end $$\cosh^{-1}(x)= \log(x + \sqrt{x^2-1})$$

Lightspeed Venture Partners launches in SEA, eyes seed to Series B deals
Lightspeed SEA team
By Kristie Neo
Lightspeed Venture Partners is officially open for business in Southeast Asia.
The Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm announced on Thursday, the opening of its first regional office in Singapore — a move first reported by DealStreetAsia in February. Since then, it has made key appointments including two partners, Akshay Bhushan and Bejul Somaia, who will spearhead its expansion with a focus on Indonesia and Singapore.
Its four-member-strong senior team, which includes Akshay Bhushan, Bejul Somaia, Pinn Lawjindakul and Marsha Sugana, comes from diverse operational and investment backgrounds in Bain & Co, Flipkart, Grab, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Lightspeed India and others.
Lightspeed has already begun deploying in Southeast Asia.
It first had a taste of the region via a $2 billion round in ride-hailing giant Grab, in which it participated alongside OppenheimerFunds, Ping An Capital, and Toyota in August 2018. It has so far accumulated a portfolio of five startups—Grab, Chilibeli, Ula, Shipper, and NextBillion. The latter four were added this year alone.
Bhushan declined to share Lightspeed's deployment targets, but said that he expects the firm to do more Southeast Asian deals in coming months. It targets seed to Series B stage companies in commerce, fintech, edtech, SaaS and other sectors with ticket sizes between $500,000 and $20 million.
He added that Lightspeed does not have plans to raise a Southeast Asian-focused fund yet, but will continue deploying from its $890 million Lightspeed Venture Partners XIII (US fund) and $275 million Lightspeed India Partners III (India fund).
"Southeast Asia is one of the world's fastest-growing economies and startup ecosystems, and this is due to, in no small part, the region's extraordinary entrepreneurial talent. We believe the startup ecosystem will continue its significant expansion," said Bhushan.
Lightspeed recently rounded up some major fundraisings. In April, it announced the closing of three funds– Lightspeed Venture Partners XIII ($890 million), Lightspeed Venture Partners Select IV ($1.83 billion), and Lightspeed Opportunity Fund ($1.5 billion). Last month, Lightspeed India secured $275 million in commitments for Lightspeed India Partners III.
The global venture firm actively invests across the US, India, and China, and has helped many startups scale into multi-billion-dollar companies. Some of these include Snap and Nutanix (US), Pinduoduo and Man Bang Group (China), OYO Rooms, Udaan, and Byju's (India). Its past exits from Asia include China's Meituan and Pinduoduo.
Lightspeed joins the likes of Vulcan Capital and MassMutual Ventures, both US-based venture firms that set up Southeast Asian offices in Singapore in the last year.

Q: How to select all elements between two nodes with XPath How I select everything (all possible nodes) between the 1st and second h2? There can be n nodes between them, and there can be m h2 tags.
The nodes aren't necessarily going to be contained in an HTML elment, so the selector can just grab them all.

asdf

good stuff 1

good stuff 2

good asdfstuff n...

I'm just getting my feet wet with XPath.  Please help my newbie question :)
Thanks so much!

A: One XPath expression that selects the wanted elements is:
   /*/h2[1]
      /following-sibling::p
        [count(. | /*/h2[2]/preceding-sibling::p)
        =
         count(/*/h2[2]/preceding-sibling::p)
        ]

In general, in such cases one can use the Kayessian formula for set intersection:
$ns1[count(.|$ns2) = count($ns2)]

This XPath expression selects all the nodes that belong both to the nodesets $ns1 and $ns2.
If you want to get all nodes between two given nodes $n1 and $n2, this is the intersection of two nodesets:  $n1/following-sibling::node() and $n2/preceding-sibling::node().
Just substitute these expression into the Kayessian formula and you have the wanted XPath expression.
In XPath 2.0, of course, one would use the << or >> operator, something like:
 /*/h2[1]/following-sibling::p[. << /*/h2[1]/]

A: Not sure about xpath, but you have a tag C# 4.0 so the following code does the job:
XElement.Parse(xml)
                .Element("h2")
                .ElementsAfterSelf()
                .TakeWhile(n => n.Name != "h2")
                .ToList()

A: Something like this should work (Doesn't use XPath though)
  XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xmlString));

  if (reader.ReadToDescendant("h2"))
  {
    reader.Skip();

    while (reader.Name != "h2")
    {
      //Handle nodes
      reader.Read();
    }
  }

A: i know this is not a working example but it is almost there,
all you really need to do is fix the syntax errors and possibly fix the recursive items

In the wiges and a half that followed, virtually every state in the Union followed California's lead and enacted a no-fault divorce law of its own. Maltz, Wendy.
Intelligence and college
This concept of women marrying up, cited in the Smritis as the Anuloma, was justified as the mechanism to keep the Hindu ideological equivalent of Sexe girls louisville gene pool wantig degrading. However, the Mahabharata cites examples where exceptions were allowed, as for instance when Devayanithe daughter of Shukracharyamarried the Kshatriya Yayati.
The qualitative research of sociologists Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas, for instance, shows that lower-income couples are much more likely to struggle with conflict, infidelity, and substance abuse than their higher-income peers, especially as the economic position of working-class men has grown more precarious since the s. This legal transformation was only one of the Wood Lake nude girls visible s of the divorce revolution then sweeping the United States: From tothe divorce rate more than doubled — from 9.
Are you treating her with respect and appreciation in your daily interactions?
Bitches who fuck wilkes Adams A survey of the landscape presents a decidedly mixed portrait of contemporary married life in America. This can leave lasting scars as well as unhealthy beliefs about sex. Mosel aversion is often the result. Of course, the soul-mate model was much more likely to lead couples to divorce court than was the earlier institutional model of marriage.
Motherhood, managing a home, career demands, community and religious service, and her relationship with you!

Perhaps even more important, recent declines in divorce suggest that a clear majority of children who are now born to married couples will wantijg up with their married mothers and fathers. In the older, institutional model of marriage, parents were supposed to stick together for their sake. Similarly, the decline in marital happiness associated with the tidal wave of divorce in the ,odel and '70s essentially stopped more than two decades ago. Social-science data about the consequences of divorce have moved many scholars across the political spectrum to warn against continuing the divorce revolution, and to argue that intact Filipino women Carolina men are essential, especially to the well-being of children.
You desperately want to connect with Seeking chinese women Lumberton North Carolina wife, and sexuality is an unparalleled powerful way to experience deep connection with the woman you love. Increases in women's employment as well as feminist consciousness-raising also did their part to drive up the divorce rate, as wives felt freer in the late '60s and mode to leave marriages that were abusive or that they found unsatisfying.
Americans on the move
It appears that average marriages suffered during this time, as widespread divorce undermined ordinary couples' faith in marital permanency and their ability to invest financially and emotionally in their marriages — ultimately casting clouds of doubt over their relationships. Parents, churches, schools, public officials, and the entertainment industry will have to do a better job of stressing the merits of a more institutional model of marriage.
Oftentimes, she gives up even trying. Be brave and ask her what other things she might like.
The evolution of divorce
Often what lies beneath these complaints is a raw sense of fear, wantinv, and hopelessness. In Ladies seeking hot sex Chavies, spouses who are being divorced against their will, and who have not engaged in egregious misbehavior such as abuse, adultery, or abandonment, should be given preferential treatment by family courts.
Talk with her about ways you can be sexual as a couple that are not painful. Since approximately two-thirds of divorces are legally initiated by women, men are more likely than women to be divorced against their will.
Assessing the relationship between spouses or common-law partners
So why are marriage and traditional child-rearing making a modest comeback in the upper reaches of society while they continue to unravel among those with less money and less education? Prior to the s, when the older, institutional model of marriage dominated popular consciousness, marriage was the only legitimate venue for having sex, bearing wivrs raising children, and enjoying an intimate relationship.
Hold her hand. A decent job, a well-maintained home, mutual spousal aid, child-rearing, and shared wantting faith were seen almost universally as the goods that marriage and family life were intended to advance.
The statement read in part: In marriages where the partners are, even after thoughtful reconsideration and counsel, estranged beyond reconciliation, we recognize divorce and the right of divorced persons to remarry, and express our concern for the needs of the children of such unions. New York: HarperCollins.
Some women report feeling more attracted to their husbands Wife looking casual sex Russia seeing them going to the gym—even if he has extra pounds on him. Taking into both divorce and non-marital childbearing, sociologist Paul Amato estimates that if the United States enjoyed the same level of family stability today as it did inthe nation swx havefewer children repeating grades, 1.
For these men, and for women caught in similar circumstances, the sting of an unjust divorce can lead to downward emotional spirals, difficulties at work, and serious deteriorations in the quality of their relationships with their children. It is becoming less common for women to marry older men.
My dad wants me to have sex with his wife—while he watches
This imbalance leaves our cultural and political elites less well attuned to the magnitude of social dysfunction in much of American society, and leaves the most vulnerable Americans — especially children living in poor and working-class communities — even worse off than they would otherwise be. Not surprisingly, the effects of divorce on adults are more ambiguous.
The view was that divorce could protect the emotional welfare of children by allowing their parents to leave marriages in which they felt unhappy. In the next year or two, many of these programs will be evaluated; the most successful programs serving poor and working-class communities should receive additional funding, and should be used as models for new programs to serve these communities.
Although it was once possible to believe that the nation's high rates of divorce, wannting, and nonmarital childbearing represented little more than lifestyle alternatives brought about by the freedom to pursue individual self-fulfillment, many analysts now believe that these Se vusca companera sexual choices can be damaging to the children who have no say in them and to wantong society that enables them.

Taking time off work to raise your kids is not a new concept, but for some reason, it's still hard for some to accept when it comes to Hollywood celebrities. Recently, actors like Ryan Reynolds and Tom Holland announced pauses to their acting career to raise their kids and start a family, respectively. Now, Carrie-Anne Moss, star of The Matrix Resurrections, says making that same decision years ago resulted in rumors of a so-called Hollywood blacklist.
Related story Ant Anstead Shares How His Kids 'Sense' That He's Happy with Girlfriend Renée Zellweger: 'You Can't Fake It'
In a December 21 interview with GQ, Moss said, "Somebody sent me one thing, a video someone had made. What happened to Carrie Anne Moss? Why did Hollywood turn their back on her? Or something like that. I was like, funny!" She added, "I had kids, and I wanted to be with them." Moss became pregnant with her first child, Owen, 18, while filming the 2003 movie The Matrix Reloaded, and had two more soon after: Jaden, 16, and Frances, 12, with husband Steven Roy. At that point, Moss decided to embrace a life she refers to as "cozy-cozy."
She also became more invested in her "metaphysical life," trained to be a Kundalini practitioner, and explored all the wellness options available in LA. In 2016, she was finally ready to leave maternal life and was cast as Jeri Hogarth in the tv adaption of Marvel's "Jessica Jones." "I had been in this world with small children all the time, and I felt unable to talk to all the grownups," she recalls about the time.
Now, Moss is excited to be back in the role of Trinity. She said, "We think about The Matrix being these systems of control on humanity, and yet the Matrix of our own minds…that's what I want to bust through all the time! Who am I if not a mother? Who am I if not a wife? Who am I if I'm not an actress? Who am I if not my mother's daughter? Who am I if not Trinity?"
The Matrix Resurrections premieres December 22.

New Police Estates Strategy LaunchedPublished 18/09/2017
An operationally effective and cost effective new Estates Strategy has been launched in Hertfordshire by the Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable which will support local policing and help provide accessible joined –up services.
Police and Crime Commissioner David Lloyd says: "In recent years we have achieved new stations in Hatfield and Hertford, refurbished Stevenage and Cheshunt and co-located local policing and local authority teams in Rickmansworth, Borehamwood and St Albans. I am determined to further improve the police estate to provide efficient and accessible policing for the county, as well as gaining the best long term income generation from surplus buildings to support the cost of delivering high quality local policing.
Key aims of the strategy will be to:
- Develop the co-location of police and other public services where possible;
- Improve the accessibility of operational police to the public and build on the electronic access to police services;
- Make efficient use of the surplus police estate to generate long term income to help fund policing.
A key part of the plan will be the redevelopment of the County HQ site in Welwyn Garden City. Many buildings on the site are old, inefficient and have high maintenance and running costs. Redevelopment of these buildings will provide considerable savings through reduced running costs that will offset building costs.
Chief Constable Charlie Hall, says: "Operational effectiveness and efficiency are at the heart of this strategy to help keep crime low and focus on victims. It also maintains a distinct and clearly identifiable police base in line with our ten local authority partnership boundaries to help support our local safer neighbourhood policing teams."
The impact of social media and the public's desire to access online services has not been overlooked by the strategy. Charlie Hall continues: "There have been significant developments in digital public contact to assist communication between the police and public and through our website people can access many services – including reporting crimes, collisions and anti-social driving and even take part in web chats. These services are what many people expect to be able to do online, but they are not intended to replace face to face interaction or telephone contact as many people still want to contact the police by traditional means. Stations that do not have a front enquiry office are still fully operational and the under the new strategy public are able to attend a police station and speak to a police officer as long as they have phoned ahead to make an appointment."
Local Impact
The Police Station at Cheshunt was refurbished in 2016 and this remains the operational base for local policing. Opportunities to provide further local bases with partners or new co-located stations will be explored should the opportunity arise.
The surplus old Hoddesdon site. The aim is to progress the residential development of the Hoddesdon site either in conjunction with Broxbourne Council and their subsidiary housing company Badger Housing or an alternative developer partner to generate a long term income to support local policing.
Local policing bases in Tring and Berkhamsted remain, though opportunities to provide further local bases with partners or new co-located stations will be explored should the opportunity arise.
Hemel Hempstead Police station to remain in current location and be refurbished to bring it up to date.
East Herts
Hertford, Bishops Stortford and Buntingford bases to remain, though opportunities to provide further local bases with partners or new co-located stations will be explored should the opportunity arise.
Borehamwood Police station co-located in the Civic Offices to remain. Opportunities to provide further local bases with partners will be explored should the opportunity arise.
Old surplus Borehamwood police site:
The aim to progress the opportunity to pursue a joint public sector residential development with a private sector developer to generate a long term income to support local policing.
North Herts
Hitchin, Letchworth and Royston stations currently to remain though opportunities to provide further local bases with partners or new co-located stations will be explored should the opportunity arise.
St Albans police station currently co-located with the Civic Offices and Harpenden Police Station to remain.
Old surplus St Albans site – We are currently discussing terms for the site's residential redevelopment in partnership with St Albans District Council to generate a long term income to support local policing.
Police station and custody unit to remain.
Police station currently co-located with civic offices in Rickmansworth to remain.
Police stations in Abbots Langley and South Oxhey to remain though opportunities to provide further local bases with partners or new co-located stations will be explored should the opportunity arise.
To develop a new police station base for Watford where possible co-located with partners whilst considering the acquisition of the redundant Courts site to enhance the potential and value of the Police site and progress with a mixed use commercial and office development in partnership with a private developer to generate a long term income to support local policing.
Police station and custody unit in Hatfield to remain.
Welwyn Garden City Safer Neighbourhood base to remain.
Older inefficient, costly buildings at County Police HQ on Stanborough Road to be replaced to develop site further as a centre of excellence for leadership, collaboration, knowledge sharing and innovation and to explore options for investment, development and income generation
Custody Suites
The two main custody suites at Hatfield and Stevenage to be retained with on-going work to explore longer term requirements linked to projected demand, the impact of population demographics and explore collaboration with neighbouring forces.
Hertfordshire maintains its commitment to collaboration with other police forces and partner and the estate strategy will reflect this commitment to triforce units we have with Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire and the regional units such as the Eastern Region Serious Organised Crime Unit. The National Specialist Capabilities Review will inform the estate requirements at force and regional level.
The current Business case for the change in governance to the Fire and Rescue Services in Hertfordshire will also explore collaboration and estates efficiency gains.
Hertfordshire Police Estate Key Facts
37 police stations/police offices
A total floor area of 60,000 m2
Space utilisation of 18 m2/fte compared with the national police average of 22 m2/fte.
Headquarters complex occupies 30% of the total force area (18,500m2)
Over 8,000 m2 of Headquarters is used by specialist functions, including the force control room, scientific services and fleet.

As a seller, one of the unexceeded distance to pamper yourself is by one and only acceptive PayPal. This will eliminate the probability of reception a bad check, and greatly run down the probability of having the client dispute a appreciation paper flight. Instead, they must quarrel the bill through with PayPal, and you of classes will be competent to prove that you shipped the service. Even so, you will not be able to turn out that the goods arrived in the clause that was awaited - so if that is the spear of dispute, you should oblige that the service be returned to you earlier a payment is issued.
A expressly foul rig to be cognisant of is, is one where on earth the customer over-pays you, and next asks you to payment the variance. Typically they either charge to have finished it by accident, or because they before have a check, banker's draft, etc., which can not be crack. In reality, what happens is that the bank check or banker's rough copy is either forged or will bounce - at the end of the day - but in the in the meantime they expectation to not single get the products from you, but too get hoard from you, as their "refund" for the assumed over-payment.
Another undivided scam that a few buyers use is the dictation swindle. This nature of cheat is previously owned to get artifact as cheapily as possible, while likewise driving lawful consumers distant from your auctions. The way it works is that the cheater uses two asunder eBay accounts - next to one organism in custody of some of them, or next to two friends near isolable eBay accounts on the job mutually. First a remarkably midget bid is situated on your item, using one account, and afterwards forthwith presently a a tremendously high bid is placed from the other than eBay sketch. The severely superior bid acts to discourage other than general public from bidding on the portion. However, righteous in the past the bid ends, the swollen bid is cancelled or withdrawn, which leaves the low bid as the successful bid. Fortunately, you can break this manoeuvre from person winning amazingly smoothly - simply think to set a reticence damage (which is of range the marginal that you're fitted out to sell for).
The ultimate type of cozenage to be alert of, are "phishing" scams. In these scams, criminals direct out emails that simulate to be from eBay or PayPal (or your financial organisation or commendation card enterprise) requesting that you log on to a web encampment or other verify or update your niceties. In fact, what happens, is that you get sent to a imitative web site, that looks only like the echt web site, but which captures your secret and log in details, so that these criminals can access your accounts! In reality, eBay, PayPal, phytologist and thanks card companies do not convey emails requesting you log-in, so if you do receive specified emails, it's virtually infallible that they are phoney and individual is annoying to rig you!
There are of programme lots other than types of ways that a procurer can try to swindle or trick you. So, while it's true that maximum eBay users are honest, you should use a litte bit of forewarning and be on the exterior out for fearful pursuit. Don't be aquaphobic to interaction eBay straight if something is concerning, and you power likewise think placing a identify on all of your rummage sale pages, stating that you have the accurately to wager on out of the selling if you queer approaching falsification.

As a normal MS error it is very limited - sorry for the lack of crystal balls.. The error says - Run-time error '-2147217900 (80040e14)': incorrect syntax near the keyword 'left'
Cheers

A: There is no space after LOCATIONID, so the result of this
"[Total] , PAYERCODE, Users.LOCATIONID" & _
"FROM APPOINTMENTS " & _
"left join ..."

is this:
[Total] , PAYERCODE, Users.LOCATIONIDFROM APPOINTMENTS left join ...

So you have a botched FROM, causing left to be not understood or expected at that position.

It's the struggles that define us.
Nicholas chose to leave us on Wednesday, March 16th 2022 at the age of 37.
From a very young age Nicholas was artistic and loved music. He had a very creative side and was handy, just like his dad. We will never forget his silly sense of humour and infectious laugh. Nearly a decade ago he moved out west to further his welding career and start a family. Things out west didn't turn out quite as planned and Nicholas moved back to Ontario 3 years ago. During that time, he worked at the Harbourlite Restaurant and developed a love for woodworking. His dream was to open his own woodworking business called Anti Symetrical. If you are lucky enough to have one of his art pieces in your home, you know that you truly meant something to Nicholas.
Nicholas will always have a special place in the hearts of his son Fletcher, his mom Penny, his siblings Lindsey, Corby (Joelle), Ashley (Josh) and his girlfriend Cass. Much loved uncle to Izabella, grandson to Joan and great nephew to Aunty Anne. Predeceased by his dad Andy and his uncle Stephen. Nephew to Peter (Lisa), Paul (Sherry), Cherry and Wendy (Andrew).
The cousin get togethers will never be the same with out him - Christian, Amber, Steph (Steve), Wesley (Heather), Evan (Alex), Elissa, Shawn, David (Alyssa), Brooke, Kaden, Shea, Rory, Cole, Delphine and Ivy.
Dearly remembered by his family in England, Aunty Kit (John), Ian (Vickii), Joanne (John), Alex (Alex) and Liam (Katie).
Friends and family are welcomed to the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home (171 King Street S, Waterloo) on Saturday, March 19th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm with a service to follow in the chapel. Cremation will take place.
Our only wish is that everyone remember the kind hearted wonderful person Nicholas truly was.

Q: Cleaning up unused images in PDF page resources Please forgive me if this has been asked but I have not found any matches yet.
I have some PDF files where images are duplicated on each page's resources but never used in its content stream. I think this is causing the PDFSplit command to create very bloated pages. Is there any utility code or examples to clean up unused resources like this? Maybe a starting point for me to get going?

A: I was able to clean up the resources for each page by gathering a list of the images used inside the page's content stream. With the list of images, I then check the resources for the page and remove any that weren't used. See the PageExtractor.stripUnusedImages below for implementation details.
The resource object was shared between pages so I also had to make sure each page had its own copy of the resource object before removing images. See PageExtractor.copyResources below for implementation details.

Do you have neck pain and frequent headaches?
You may be suffering from cervicogenic headaches. Cervicogenic headaches originate from the cervical spine and are triggered by certain neck movements. Pain typically begins in the base of the neck and progressively moves into the head.
The most common causes of neck pain with cervicogenic headaches are arthritis, injury, or stress from repetitive movements that put pressure on the neck. The condition can also be caused by a damaged vertebra or herniated spinal disc that compresses a nerve in the upper part of your spine.
Because cervicogenic headache symptoms are very similar to migraines, your doctor may perform a diagnostic test. A numbing, nerve-blocking medication may be injected into the area of the neck causing the pain. If the headache resolves, then cervicogenic headache is diagnosed. Your doctor may order diagnostic imaging tests such as a CT or MRI to take a picture of the neck.
Because cervicogenic headaches are caused by referred pain from the neck, treatment for cervicogenic headache is focused on the neck.
Medications can help reduce pain for cervicogenic headaches. Many over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen are effective for this purpose. However, your doctor may prescribe stronger medication as needed to treat pain.
Cervicogenic headaches are often successfully treated with physical therapy. Your physical therapist will show you gentle exercises that will help you stretch and relieve pressure on your neck.
Physical therapy can also correct muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulders that cause cervicogenic headaches.
Many people get relief from cervicogenic headache pain through acupuncture, a 3,000-year-old healing technique of traditional Chinese medicine. During the procedure, fine needles are inserted in targeted areas of the body. Acupuncture prompts your body to release certain hormones and endorphins that reduce pain. It also calms the nervous system and provides increased blood flow and circulation into the muscles in the head and neck.
Another way to treat cervicogenic headaches is through radiofrequency neurotomy. Using an imaging scan, a needle is inserted into the specific nerves in the neck. The heat from radio waves target these specific nerves, temporarily blocking pain signals.
Cervicogenic headaches can be treated by osteopaths or chiropractic doctors. A cervical manipulation – also known as a neck adjustment – is a precise procedure applied to the joints of the neck, usually by hand. This procedure improves the mobility of the neck and restores range of motion. It can significantly reduce pain in the neck and headache pain originating from the neck.
Biofeedback can help treat stress-related headache pain and neck tension. Your doctor or therapist will apply electrodes to your skin and use a machine to monitor your heart rate, skin temperature, brain waves, and muscle tension. Then your therapist will talk you through mental exercises and relaxation techniques and help you understand how your body is responding. Over time, you will learn how to control your stress response, which reduces the occurrence of neck and tension headaches.
Because cervicogenic headaches originate in the neck, prevention means focusing on building neck and spinal health.
Avoid movements that strain the neck.
In your daily activities, be mindful not to put unnecessary stress on your neck. Limit the amount of time you spend using mobile devices and laptops, which puts strain on your neck (a syndrome dubbed "text neck").
Doing regular neck exercises will help your pain symptoms subside over time. However, you should always ask your doctor before beginning a new diet or exercise regimen. Low-impact exercises will strengthen the muscles that support the neck and spine. Try a yoga class. Basic yoga poses such as cat/cow, seated twist, and puppy stretch help to relax the neck and increase range of motion.
Avoid slouching, which puts unnecessary pressure on the neck. Keep your spine erect when sitting or standing. If you work at a computer, sit up straight and set the height of the chair so you are keeping your spine in a neutral position and not straining your back or neck.
Cervicogenic headache with neck pain can worsen if left untreated. It is important that you proactively seek the advice of a licensed healthcare professional. Conservative treatment options, like physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications, are often effective treatment solutions.

Read our modern English translation.
A lowly shepherd in Bohemia who happens to find the abandoned Perdita (as well as a large quantity of gold), left by Antigonus. He raises Perdita as his daughter and finds himself in mortal danger when Polixenes threatens to kill him after Perdita's secret relationship with Florizell is discovered. He shows Polixenes (and Leontes) the bundle in which he found Perdita, though, proving that she is not his real daughter (and thus he is not accountable for her), and also unintentionally revealing Perdita's true identity as Leontes' long-lost daughter. As a reward for this, the shepherd and his son are made noblemen.

Mark your divorce, young sir,
Whom son I dare not call; thou art too base
To be acknowledged: thou a sceptre's heir,
That thus affect'st a sheep-hook! Thou old traitor,
I am sorry that by hanging thee I can
But shorten thy life one week. And thou, fresh piece
Of excellent witchcraft, who of force must know
The royal fool thou copest with, —
O, my heart!
I'll have thy beauty scratch'd with briers, and made
More homely than thy state. For thee, fond boy,
If I may ever know thou dost but sigh
That thou no more shalt see this knack, as never
I mean thou shalt, we'll bar thee from succession;
Not hold thee of our blood, no, not our kin,
Far than Deucalion off: mark thou my words:
Follow us to the court. Thou churl, for this time,
Though full of our displeasure, yet we free thee
From the dead blow of it. And you, enchantment.—
Worthy enough a herdsman: yea, him too,
That makes himself, but for our honour therein,
Unworthy thee, —if ever henceforth thou
These rural latches to his entrance open,
Or hoop his body more with thy embraces,
I will devise a death as cruel for thee
As thou art tender to't.

The Winter's Tale in Plain English
"Every teacher of literature should use these translations. They completely demystify Shakespeare. Students love them!"


TAXES 'n Democrats, something to (a) 'think about' between now and April 15th, and (b) 'remember' when you vote in 2020.
- There are few things Democrats LOVE more than stuffing OPM (Other People's Money, YOUR money...never theirs) into the furnace of Big Government.
Surely you're 'heard' of Democrat-run New Jersey TAXING 'rain' by now. Democrat-run Connecticut just said "here, hold my beer and watch this!"
- CT SB 999 is a 'cat' TAX.
- It's legal (the LAW) when Democrats make it legal.
FYI: Everything Hitler and the Nazi's did was legal (the LAW) too.
- Nazi's (National Socialists) and Democrats (Socialists), there is no difference between them today...(a) they're both Socialists, and (b) weaponized assholes.

Well, now, we can be a lot more specific than "central New Jersey." That was Freehold, New Jersey, site of the Battle of Monmouth. The Boss graduated from Freehold High School in 1966 or thereabouts. Hence the line in one of his early tunes about stepping out over the (county) line on Highway 9 in that fine, fuel-injected vehicle he and his buddies had availed themselves of.
Another thing. Jim Miller's book is very interesting. He also published just about the only book on Foucault (I am tempted to add "by Foucault") that I recommend.

Yes, the author knows Freehold well, having lived there himself for a time. But this essay is not meant to present a detailed biography of Mr. Springsteen, of course, but to get right to the list of books without too much distraction. Thus the generalized "central New Jersey" was chosen, and details such as the Battle of Monmouth and Rte. 9 not mentioned. You can find more biographical details about Mr. Springsteen in two longer essays I authored here at this journal.

I'm going to have to revise my opinion of Mr. Springsteen. I'd always considered him a poor man's copy of Bob Dylan. Now, that I find that he reads, and listed a number of my favorites in his Christmas list, he seems a bright chap.

Bob, you made my day!
Stephen, I do what I can to hep!

This is a fine list.
I hope to read Born to Run soon.
I am grateful that this website lets us contemplate the work of a truly great American artist….in spite of his pitifully awful politics. 🙁

Thank you, sir, for this most thoughtful comment. Men are indeed complicated, and it is refreshing to find readers like you who can separate a consideration of a man's artistry and philosophy from a consideration of his politics. We appreciate your loyal readership.

As much as I have been a fan of Mr Springsteen for more than half his career so far, and I like his songs much, I don't take him to be a good advisor on the matter of books. Still he surely is a grand one on musical matters.
