What's in a name? Dogs or wolves, painted or wild

Lycaon pictus: neither wolf or dog and from a different genus in the Canidae family © Nicholas Dyer
GUEST POST by Nicholas Dyer
Lycaon pictus has many names in English. Among them are 'African wild dog', 'wild dog', 'painted dog', 'Cape hunting dog', 'African hunting dog', 'hyena dog', 'ornate wolf' and 'painted wolf'.
It seems somewhat ironic that so many names have been given to this creature, when so few are left on our planet.
Indeed, some argue vehemently that 'African wild dog' is correct and others 'painted dog', and increasingly the name 'painted wolf' has its fans. But are any of these correct, does it matter, and what is the background to Lycaon pictus' many English names?
To stay on neutral ground (for the moment) I will refer to Lycaon pictus as 'Lycaon' throughout this article.
"Pssst… some people call you a hyena!" – "That's just insulting!" © Nicholas Dyer
What's Lycaon?
First, where did Lycaon's scientific name came from? When Lycaon was first 'discovered' in 1820 it was thought to be a type of hyena and given the name Hyaena picta by Dutch zoologist, Coenraad Temminck. But he was wrong.
Seven years later, the British anatomist and naturalist Joshua Brookes established that the animal was a Canid, and Lycaon gained its current scientific name, Lycaon pictus.
Clearly, these two distinguished gentlemen did not really discover anything, as the Lycaon has been around for longer than we Homo sapiens and they were certainly not the first humans to see them.
The word 'Lycaon' has its origins in Greek mythology. Lycaon was the King of Arcadia who decided to test Zeus' omniscience by serving up the roasted flesh of his son to see if he would notice. Zeus did notice and, understandably annoyed, turned Lycaon into a wolf and restored his son to life.
So the best translation for Lycaon is 'wolf-like'. And pictus is simply the Latin for 'painted'. Hence 'painted wolf.'

Dog or Wolf?
So is Lycaon a dog or a wolf? Well in fact it is neither, although one could just about say it is closer to a wolf than a dog. This is because all of our domestic dogs are descendants of the Eurasian wolf (Canis lupus), including our great dane and beloved chihuahua.
From a scientific standpoint, they are all in the same family known as Canidae. Within this, there are two relevant branches (or genus) to look at here – Canis and Lycaon.
In the genus Canis (which means dog in Latin) exist the wolves and their descendants – our domestic dogs. Canis also includes the coyote (Canis latrans), dingo (Canis lupos dingo), and the highly endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis). And while phylogenetically different, Canis includes all jackals (Canis adustus, aureus and mesomelas).
Meanwhile, our Lycaon pictus is alone in its own genus called… Lycaon. The species is only very distantly related to a wolf or a dog and there is no chance that you could interbreed a Lycaon and a Canis.

Indeed, while they share many physical characteristics, there are significant differences too. Lycaon only has four toes on its front feet and does not have a dewclaw. In addition, its dentition is completely different to a wolf or a dog.
So, to call Lycaon 'dog' or 'wolf' is not correct from the perspective of either taxonomy or phylogenetics.

A History of Hate
There are those that argue that the name 'dog' has been detrimental to the species. For over 100 years, Lycaon has been terribly persecuted by man, reducing their numbers from 500,000 to 6,600 in less than a century.
They were considered vermin by European settlers anxious to recreate their European farming systems across Africa. Lycaon's threat to livestock was highly exaggerated by ignorant farmers and a systematic programme of extermination was carried out through much of southern Africa.
In Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), a five shilling reward was introduced in 1916 for proof of destroying a Lycaon and the bounty was increased periodically until it was finally abolished as recently as 1977.
Many argue the name 'wild dog' denigrated Lycaon to a dangerous feral animal, a mundane creature of no interest to anybody and certainly not worth conserving. Rhodesian farming journals are littered with suggestions on how best to exterminate the beleaguered creature.
Indeed, when I tell people that I spend most of my time following three packs of 'wild dogs' on foot, I am regularly faced with two questions. "What breed of dog is it?" and "Are they mongrels that have escaped from villages and gone wild?" And many of these questions come from people who live in Africa!
Given this, it is understandable why some argue that the name 'dog' has played its part in hastening them towards extinction.
A Rebrand?
In many ways, Lycaon has already gone through a rebrand. From being considered vermin, a small but increasing number of people are getting to know the species, and while not yet up there with the Big 5, Lycaon is among the top attractions for safari goers.
And these new aficionados see them for what they are. Fantastic hunters yes, but more importantly, incredibly social animals that demonstrate fun and loving interactions inside their intricate packs.
As people get to know Lycaon, they increasingly understand what a stunning creature it is and appreciate the intricate social structure of the pack © Nicholas Dyer
From my past career in marketing, I ask myself whether the word 'wolf' would be more appealing to the millions yet to discover them and would this, in turn, support their conservation?
There is certainly a huge revival across Europe and America supporting the conservation of their native wolves. Increasingly, they are no longer demonised but better understood and welcomed as Europe and America 're-wild'. Could the rapidly improving associations around the name 'wolf' help Lycaon?
I am not the only person to think so. Sir Richard Branson recently wrote about Lycaon:
"One of the reasons their numbers plummeted alarmingly was because people thought of them as vermin. They were known as wild dogs, and this name helped to cast a negative light on them.
"As somebody who has always been interested in branding and marketing, if we could get everybody to call them painted wolves, it would make quite the difference to their reputation, and therefore their survival. Many people have begun to realise the beauty of them and their numbers have grown back. Long may it continue."
Past Success
The erstwhile named simian fox (Canis semensis), was also known as the simian jackal, red fox, Abyssinian wolf and Abyssinian dog. It faces similar threats to Lycaon and is Africa's most endangered carnivore. In this case, the much closer genetic relationship to domestic dogs increased the risks of hybridisation as there has been clear evidence of inter-breeding between the species.
A concerted effort to 're-brand' the creature to the 'Ethiopian wolf' has played a significant role in bringing this beleaguered creature to the world's attention and improving support from conservationists and researchers alike.
Somehow, the name 'wolf' conjures something more special, wild and vulnerable than 'dog'.

The Attenborough Effect
In Sir David Attenborough's new epic documentary series Dynasties, the BBC spent two years filming Lycaon in Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. Their film features the same packs that are in my book Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog's Life. I spent many days and hours photographing Lycaon alongside the talented BBC team.
I also spent many hours discussing Lycaon's name with the film's producer, Nick Lyon. To us it became very clear that choosing the name 'painted wolf' had considerable advantages having quietly debated many of the arguments in front of our cameras and peacefully sleeping Lycaon.

This is not the same as trying to rename the lion or the elephant. Painted wolf is already one of the many accepted English names for Lycaon. And we should recognise that this creature is almost totally unknown by any name in the wider world, barring a small band of safari goers and conservationists.
The BBC is now about to bring this incredible creature into the living rooms of an estimated billion people who don't know they exist, let alone what they should be called. But they are about to discover them and fall in love with them as the 'painted wolf'.
What's the Objection?
Perhaps what is most surprising to me is the reaction I get when I call Lycaon the painted wolf. It ranges from "It's not a wolf, it's a dog!" to the deeply angry, adamant and hostile. More mentally agile people are interested in the reasons and happy to engage in the debate with their points of view.
Scientists and conservationists legitimately worry that fragmenting the name undermines their efforts to increase awareness of the species and raise funds for research and conservation. This fear is very understandable. They have put in a lot of time and effort to build awareness of the species and their concerns should be respected.
Yet here again there is no unanimous agreement. On one side there are those that feel everyone has settled on 'African wild dog' as the correct name. Yet there are others, who would insist that the name is and should be 'painted dog.'
So to claim, as some might, that there exists a unanimously agreed English name for Lycaon is not correct. While I believe there are strong arguments for using 'painted wolf' as a legitimate alternative, I also accept that it is vitally important to link this name to what scientists and conservationists prefer to call them; whether wild or painted dog.
Conservation Opportunity
Regardless of everyone's views, the reality is that Sir David Attenborough, beloved and trusted worldwide, will enter people's homes in just under two weeks and call these creatures 'painted wolves.' He will reach a huge worldwide audience previously oblivious to their existence.
Peter and Nick spent six years to produce an extensive exploration of Lycaon in their book Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog's Life and are donating all the profits to the Painted Wolf Foundation. So far their campaign has raised over U$200,000.
This is one reason why I have formed the Painted Wolf Foundation together with the well-known Lycaon conservationist Peter Blinston and leading African wildlife conservationist Diane Skinner.
Peter runs the well-established and respected Painted Dog Conservation, responsible for Lycaon's welfare in Hwange and Mana Pools National Parks in Zimbabwe. He is also the co-author of our book Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog's Life.
The objective of the Painted Wolf Foundation is to raise the awareness of Lycaon worldwide and raise funds for those organisations working to conserve the species across Africa. There is no universal organisation raising funds or awareness under the banner "Painted Wolf" and it is a critical opportunity to capture the interest that is building for this neglected Lycaon.
A Success Story
The Painted Wolf Foundation has the support of many 'wild dog' and 'painted dog' conservation organisations who fully understand the rationale of using the painted wolf name and we hope to support them in turn.
We have also received tremendous help from major wildlife conservation organisations around the world including WCN, Tusk, the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and Virgin Unite. Each provide critical support to Lycaon and don't refer to them as wolves. But they do understand and support our strategy.

And last year I visited the International Wolf Centre in Minnesota who have embraced our efforts to save their wolves' distant African cousins and they have used their substantial networks to promote our work and raise Lycaon's awareness.
So far, our efforts have raised a total of US$200,000 using the painted wolf name. We do not intend to cannibalise donations from existing wild and painted dog donors, but know that we can find new support from those who fall in love with this creature thanks to our awareness programme, my articles and pictures, our book and of course the BBC film.
What's Important
As far as we are concerned at the Painted Wolf Foundation, we are not DOGmatic about what people choose to call Lycaon, but we have firmly sided with the name painted wolf for all the reasons discussed. Indeed, Painted Dog Conservation are not going to rebrand and neither is the African Wildlife Conservation Fund going to stop calling them African wild dogs. Yet we can, and do, all work well together.
This is because we all recognise that the threat to Lycaon is serious and goes well beyond what people call them. Snaring, disease, road kills and shrinking rangelands are Lycaon's real threats. Their name is at best a side-show.
The Painted Wolf Foundation has a primary aim – to put Lycaon on the top table of conservation along with the elephant, rhino and lion. It's where they belong and the name that's on their invite is our least concern.
"What is important is not what we call them in English, but what we do to save them as a species." Peter Blinston – Painted Dog Conservation, Hwange and Mana Pools, Zimbabwe. © Nicholas Dyer
Finally, it should also be remembered that this whole debate is what we call them in English. The Germans and Dutch call them 'hyena hounds' while the French and Spanish refer to them as Lycaon.
And let's not forget the myriad names they have in local African languages whose names for Lycaon go back to before we English speakers even knew that they existed. This concept has been beautifully illustrated in Lin Barrie's incredible work of art, "What's in a name?…"
And to complete Juliet's quote from Shakespeare's play: "…that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Not that I have ever come across a sweet-smelling painted wolf.

About Nicholas Dyer
Nick grew up in Kenya and always had a passion for photography. After careers in finance and marketing, stuck behind a desk in London, he took the decision to return to Africa and turn his life around to dedicate it to photography, writing and wildlife conservation. He discovered the painted wolves of Mana Pools National Park and fell in love with them. Nick has spent much of the last six years living in a tent while following and photographing three packs on foot. See more of his photographs on his website, Facebook and Instagram page.

KIMYA DAWSON
I'm Sorry That Sometimes I'm Mean
As co-auteurs of the Moldy Peaches, Adam Green and Kimya Dawson write as if in a party game: alternately, one line at a time. Somehow, the seamless songs express one sensibility. Unfortunately, their new solo albums are much less consistent. At its best, in titles like "Dance With Me" and "Computer Show," Green's Garfield is a conventional if adenoidal new--(a.k.a. "anti-") folk album. At its worst, it's unconventional, bratty for its own sake. Lines such as "The lump behind the sheet is where the tumor took a shit" are just begging for us to say yuck, so let's.
Although Dawson's I'm Sorry That Sometimes I'm Mean also claims to be anti-folk, the differences are major. Her voice is as slight as Green's, but she knows how to whisper, singsong and texture her tracks with toy keyboards, bird tweets, sirens and, bizarrely, the pull-string doll voices of "Talking Ernest." And can she write. After "Trump Style," a picaresque tale about pirates and roulette, she dissects her own romantic dysfunction three times running, delivering lines such as "Why do I always pretend/I can spoon a guy and still be his friend" as matter-of-fact confessions devoid of self-pity. Then she picks up on her long experience as a day-care worker, climaxing with, Korn fans, please note, a painful and profound abuse song. It helps that the abuse didn't happen to her, that she's a close personal enemy of a certain social worker and that she's not afraid to imagine a verboten way out: suicide. Unconventional? You bet. But only a boor would say yuck.
Rolling Stone, Nov. 14, 2002
Postscript Notes:
Rolling Stone changed the original 4-star grade of I'm Sorry That I'm Mean to 3-star when they published the review, and continue to list it as 3-star on their website. The 4-star grade is correct. The record was graded A in the Consumer Guide.

ART CONCEPTS
5 March to 5 April 2020
Dreaming of water and earth
Saskia Weyts (Bruges, 1964) and Réjean Dorval (Quebec, 1966)
This duo is the fruit of a meeting brought about by the art projects which, while they are always specific to each of the artists, are united by a shared sense of the importance opening of the body to the natural elements which surround us.
Born in Bruges into a family of artists, writers and musicians, Saskia Weyts seeks an osmosis with nature, a union between the process of creation at work in nature and the act of painting.
Originally from Quebec (Canada), trained in the practice of drawing and performance, Réjean Dorval deploys an artistic work that questions our connection with the elements of nature and with the principle of transformation which animates all living things.
Saskia's drawings represent a concentration of energy, of gestures and of what makes these happen: breath. They explore the creative potential of the gesture through what they convey of sensations and affects. Saskia is particularly interested in the possible accordances between colours and her own feelings in all that is touched by our vital force. Colour radiates a form of purity and freshness capable of breathing new life into how we see. Ultimately, these colour chords open onto the infinity of time.
Réjean, for his part, presents a series of large-format charcoal drawings, which summon up nature in our intimate connection with the element Earth but also, in terms of its very immensity, as something that all at once envelops and transcends us. His evocations of nature, embodied in the figures of forest, tree, rock and animal, open onto the imaginary, onto a space of tranquil reverie, as a possible return to the wellsprings of what has always dwelt within us.

Bailey Ross-O'Malley has spent her whole life catering to others. She used to enjoy it. Until her father died. In an attempt to protect her, her father chose Connor to be her husband, but that was a mistake. Connor was supposed to love her, be her rock--but some rocks need to be tossed as far away as possible. She only has one source of happiness now, her son, and if Connor doesn't get his way, he'll take that joy from her as well.
MMA fighter, Dominic Prince, has only one mission in life: forget his past. Forget the pain, the drama, and the loss of things taken away from him too soon.
He's guarded and secretive and that's the way he likes it. He was doing a damn good job of keeping it that way. Until her. Bailey showed up and Dominic's life became a minefield. He can't decide if he wants to kiss her or shake her, but he does know that he'll fight to keep her safe. He'll be as savage as he is in the octagon, outside of it.
There were parts of this book that I thought were brilliant. Then there were parts that confused me. And then...there were parts that made me want to throw my Kindle.
LaShanta Charles is a great writer. Her dialogue has a very natural feel to it, and the story had a nice flow. This was definitely an engaging read that made you truly care about Bailey and Dominic.
I loved Bailey's transformation from scared little mouse into MMA-fighting badass. And the fact that she took it upon herself to train so that she could defend herself and her son, despite the fact that she's clearly terrified of strangers in the beginning, was beautiful.
Bailey's devotion to her son, and all she was willing to endure for him, was inspiring. She's a great example of a what a mother should be.
I loved Bailey's character. I find her habit of blurting out her inner thoughts endearing.
He smiles as he nods his head and I can only stare. He has to know what his smile is capable of. No one is that dumb. His smile grows into a full-blown grin and I flush. Not out loud. Not out loud. Not out loud.
The beginning of the book, in which we get a feel for just how terrible Connor is, is brutal. Jarring. Dark and violent. Then with the introduction of Dominic and his friends, the whole tone shifts to almost lighthearted. There are some truly hilarious bits in the interactions between the guys, and between Bailey and the guys. So, the dark violent beginning was extremely well-written, but it didn't totally match the tone for the rest of the book. Was I supposed to laugh when Bailey incited the riot? I did. But I felt weird about it. It was hilarious, but the circumstances were so serious that I wasn't sure how the author wanted me to react, which made me kind of uncomfortable as a reader.
Bailey's blog and her writing seemed like a throw-away. It was mentioned in the beginning, and once towards the end. Was this a passion of hers, or wasn't it? If it wasn't, why even mention it at all?
Don't get me wrong: I LOVE badass Bailey. I loved reading about her gaining confidence, strength and skill. I LOVED reading about her slamming Dominic's bitchy ex to the ground. But at the same time, this Bailey is such a huge departure from the Bailey we met in the beginning of the book that it just didn't ring entirely true for me.
I'm sorry...did you just say that you feel pity for the dude who has made your life a living hell? I must've read those lines at least ten times before I believed them. Why—in the name of all that's holy—would she feel ANYTHING for this vile human being other than loathing? That's not OK with me.
And it's also well-established that Bailey is a great fighter. This dude is hurting her, hurting her son and she just takes the abuse? Why didn't she kick the ever-lovin' crap out of him? Having Dominic save her wasn't nearly as satisfying as Bailey saving herself would've been.
But all-in-all, this was an interesting read that fans of MMA fighter romances will enjoy.
Full disclosure: We received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Well, it's well-written enough to help crush that portion of the romance stigma. But it's definitely within kissing distance of being unrealistic, in my opinion. As it stands, I'd say it's neither hurting or helping the romance stigma.
Thank you so much for such an honest review. I was able to understand your reasoning behind parts that you had issues with and the feedback is so very greatly appreciated.
Thank you for a great read! The characters were wonderful. I'll definitely be reading more of your work!

Q: Recoding a nominal variable with multiple categories into a dummy variable I am trying to condense a party ID seven point scale variable (pid_x) from the ANES 2012 data to a dummy variable (democrat = 1 and republican = 0). This entails removing all missing values and excluding independents (4). I can remove NAs, but how would I filter out independents and properly mutate the new variable? Yes, I am very new to R. Much appreciated!
The code below provides the following error:
"Error: Problem with mutate() input party_id_recode.
x Can't recycle ..1 (size 2054) to match ..2 (size 3).
i Input party_id_recode is `ifelse(pid_x == 1:3, 1, ifelse(pid_x == 5:7, 0))"
library(tidyverse)

anesnew <- anes %>%
  na.omit(anes$pid_x) %>%
  mutate(party_id_recode = ifelse(pid_x == 1:3, 1,
                              ifelse(pid_x == 5:7, 0)))

A: Reproducible data and expected output would be very useful, but it looks like your ifelse() statement hasn't been constructed properly, and could be simplified:
anesnew <- anes %>%
  filter(!is.na(pid_x), pid_x != 4) %>%
  mutate(party_id_recode = case_when(pid_x < 4 ~ 1,

Why My Service-Oriented Business is Failing (and what I'm going to do about it) | Midwives, Doulas, Home Birth, OH MY!
This post is like you are reading my mind! I recently re-entered a full time job because I need the benefits but I find myself not enjoying work. I want to do what I am passionate about but I also need to live. It is hard when you care about something to charge for it. I feel torn because the people I really want to help can't afford me. I wish there was a middle-man option.
Well written and you mentioned many of the reasons I decided to change career paths…Wishing you the best of luck you are so passionate about what you do!
Summer, if there is ANYTHING I can do to help you, consider it done. I'll gladly help advertise, etc. so so so proud of YOU!

At War at Sea: Sailors and Naval Combat in the Twentieth Century
By: Ronald H. Spector
At War at Sea is a fascinating account of the most important naval conflicts of the twentieth century. The book begins with a gripping account of one of the most decisive battles in history, the 1905 Battle of Tsushima, between the Japanese and the Russians, and ends with the sophisticated missile engagements off the Falklands and the Persian Gulf. Ronald H. Spector, former director of naval history for the U.S. Navy, chronicles not only the mechanics of battle and the changing technology of war, but also presents these extraordinary stories from the point of view of the participants. How did it feel to be the target of a 15-inch shell at the Battle of Jutland or to experience a depth charge attack in a submarine in the Battle of the Atlantic? What was it like to be under attack by Stuka dive bombers off Crete or kamikazes off Okinawa during World War II? Using more than a hundred diaries, memoirs, letters, and interviews as well as official records, Spector takes an in-depth look at fighting sailors-in peacetime and in time of war-that is unparalleled both in scope and emotional intensity.

I discovered that brainwaves can be used to manage chronic pain and cope with chronic illness by accident. Due to a variety of chronic health conditions, I have lived with a great deal of pain for many years and yet I noticed that the more pain and suffering I endure the more creativity I seem to experience. I was aware that my creative outlet was a coping mechanism, but didn't understand the mechanics behind it. I thought it was a form of escapism, because I can be so absorbed in my creativity that I get lost and I'm not aware of my pain for a period of time.
Yet many other people in my life with less pain and suffering experience a lack or loss of creativity. People often comment that they don't understand how I do so much when I live with such great pain and challenges. Over the years, I occasionally run into other people with chronic health conditions and pain that also experience high levels of creativity.
I had always wondered why it is that some people experience creativity and other's don't and then one day when I was writing about the benefits of mediation it dawned on me, it's brainwaves.
Neuroscientists tell us that the brain is an electrochemical organ that uses electromagnetic energy to work. The brain waves formed by these electrical charges can be observed in an EEG. (electroencephalogram) Brainwaves are measured in Hertz, which is cycles per second, or Hz for short.
The fist brain wave category is called beta. These waves are measured at about 13 to 40 Hertz. Beta brain waves are produced when we are awake going about our day. When we are aware, focused, attentive, engaged, excited, concentrating, thinking and in conversation. The more deeply engaged or excited you are, the higher you will be on the Hertz wave measurement.
The second category is alpha. Alpha brain waves are measured at 7 to 12 Hertz or cycles per second. As soon as you close your eyes, even when you're awake and not meditating, your brain slows down to the alpha cycle. They are associated with being in a relaxed non-aroused state of mind. This is why closing your eyes throughout the day instantly helps you feel more relaxed, because it slows down your brainwaves.. Alpha waves are also accessed with light meditative states, hypnosis and periods of creativity and may produce mild feelings of euphoria.
The third class is called theta brain waves. They come in at 4 to 7 cycles per second and are associated with deeper levels of meditation, daydreaming, repetitive tasks, intuition, the subconscious mind, spiritual experiences, periods of insight, dreaming while sleeping, out of body experiences, extrasensory perception, and high levels of creativity. They too may produce feelings of euphoria which are more intense than those experienced in alpha. Not only that, theta waves are believed to boost the immune system as well. Most average people experience theta waves in the seconds right before falling asleep, called the twilight period.
The slowest brain waves category is delta. They range from 0 to 4 cycles per second. The only time delta brain waves are experienced is during very deep, dreamless sleep. If you don't sleep sound, then you are probably not accessing delta waves very frequently.
All the brainwaves have an important function and work conjunctively. You don't want to stay consistently at one brain wave frequency. If you never went into beta, then you couldn't get anything done. For example, alpha waves allow theta and beta waves to connect. You can take the insights you discover in theta and put them into action in beta, because alpha carries out the transfer of information.
Now for the reason all of this is so important and how it relates to managing chronic pain or coping with chronic illness. Neurons in the brain are "wired" to produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and beta-endorphins at certain brain wave frequencies, particularly alpha and theta. Neurotransmitters are responsible for a vast number of functions throughout the mind and body, and regulating mood states and pain perception are two of the most important, as well as our sleep cycle.
Dopamine and serotonin provide us with feelings of pleasure, happiness, a sense of well-being, self-esteem, serenity and relaxation.
Beta-endorphins are a naturally occurring opiate like neurotransmitter in the brain thats primary role is to relieve or reduce pain. However they also produce euphoria, a sense of well-being, improved self-esteem, relaxation and influence mood. They may also boost the immune system and slow down the growth of cancer cells. Beta-endorphins are believed to be significantly more potent than morphine. Think of them as your bodies natural painkiller. For example, you hit your thumb with the hammer or shut your fingers in the car door, beta-endorphins are released to deal with the pain.
When you're generating alpha and theta brain waves, it stimulates neurotransmitters in the brain that improve mood, decrease pain, and possibly boosts the immune system. Alpha and theta waves are both associated with high levels of creativity, so during those states of mind you get the added benefit of being creative.
So it seems to me that some people, like myself, have developed a spontaneous ability to enter alpha and theta waves on a regular basis as a coping mechanism for pain and suffering, thus why creativity levels abound. I, and other people like me, are essentially living meditation.
Sometimes the sicker one is the more creative they become. My theory is that for these people the more suffering they endure, the deeper into alpha or theta they go and the more often they remain there.
I haven't had my brain hooked up to any monitoring devices to support this theory, but I would bet if I did, I would find that my mind is in a meditative state most of the time, because at times I have so much creativity it overwhelms me and I am exceptionally insightful and intuitive. However, I seem to flow seamlessly back and forth between alpha, theta and beta, because I have no trouble staying focused and attentive when needed.
If I'm not careful, my creativity could actually be counterproductive. I literally can't keep up with it. I have more ideas for books, screenplays, web sites, audio, videos, and businesses than I could ever possibly have the time to implement in this lifetime. The ideas just flow like a stream almost constantly.
They come to me when I try to take a nap, meditating, walking, cooking, deep breathing exercises and even when I'm sleeping. I have stacks of notes scribbled everywhere. Sometimes I'll be sleeping and all of a sudden I have an incredible creative idea, amazing insight or a brilliant piece of prose for a book, article or a web page I'm working on just comes to me out of nowhere. I'm like, "Wow, where did that come from?" All of a sudden I'm hoping out of bed to write it down so I won't forget it. Sometimes I'm too tired to get up and then in the morning I'm racking my brain to remember it.
The same applies when I meditate or practice deep breathing exercises. I'm always having to interrupt my session to run for the pencil and paper, as some of my best insights, words and thoughts come to me during these times.
I could literally drive myself into the ground trying to accomplish everything my creative my mind comes up with and would like to achieve. So, sometimes I have to reign that girl in and make her rest.
The upside to all of this is that in spite of the fact that I experience a great deal of pain and suffering in my life, I am able to rise above it and live a full, productive and satisfying life. The pain is still there, but it doesn't consume me. It is less intense, powerful and controlling. The impact it has on my life is minimized.
Yes, there are days when the pain gets the best of me and I do lose my creative streak now and then, but those days and times are far less than the days I rise above.
This means that if you can manifest more theta and alpha brainwaves in your brain, you can use them to manage your pain and cope with your condition more effectively.
An increase in your creativity level, consciousness, intuition and insightfulness will just naturally occur as a positive side-effect that you can use to your advantage as well and boosts the benefits of this valuable technique.
Alternatively, if you don't live with a chronic health condition, brain wave activity can be used simply to improve your life, become more aware, insightful, creative, intuitive and achieve higher levels of consciousness.
Not only can your brainwaves be used to help you manage chronic pain and cope with chronic illness, but it is also one of the most excellent and effective tools for reducing stress, enhancing sleep, relieving anxiety, basic relaxation and improving your mood as well.
As we learned above, alpha and theta brain waves slow down the brain and stimulate neurotransmitters that improve our mood, alter our stress response system and regulate our sleep, which results in a calmer more relaxed state of mind and body, and delta brainwaves result in deep, healing, refreshing sleep.
I use deep breathing exercises, which produce alpha brain waves, several times a day to manage my stress levels, and every night when I go to bed I do about 8 or 16 rounds of deep breathing and it puts me right to sleep.
Some of the many conditions that benefit from producing more theta and alpha brain waves include, any chronic pain disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, high blood pressure, headaches, tension, adrenal fatigue, insomnia, chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, MS, Chron's, alcoholism, addiction, PTSD and any stress related condition.
Basically there isn't any condition that couldn't benefit from learning how to harness the power of brainwaves. It isn't a cure, but it can drastically improve your quality of life. However, for people with ADHD, it is believed they have too many theta brain waves, so they wouldn't want manifest anymore of those, they would want to focus on more beta waves and alpha.
Now if you're fortunate enough to be one of those people who can produce theta and alpha brain waves spontaneously, you only need to become aware of your ability and learn to use it more frequently. For me, it just happened spontaneously on its own. I didn't make a conscious effort to alter my brainwaves, it just happened. However, I still use a variety of techniques in my life to keep them manifesting.
For those who don't have this ability, it has to be developed and there are a variety of ways to help you. The two simplest and most affordable ways that I use the most are deep breathing exercises and meditation.
Both of these activities alter brain wave activity and create alpha and/or theta brain waves. I use these methods regularly to manage stress and pain and they always incite great levels of creativity as well. You can learn the basics of each of these in less than hour in my affordable little guide - Meditating for Health. Spending time with nature will also stimulate alpha and/or theta waves.
Another very effective method is the use of sound on audio CDs designed specifically for the purpose of manifesting alpha or theta brain waves. Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has a CD series with his clinically proven system called The Brainwave Suite that I highly recommend.
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson is one of the worlds leading experts in brainwave entrainment, research and sound healing. With nearly three decades of experience, he has produced more than 90 audio programs with his groundbreaking discoveries and clinically proven approach.
He and his clinical research work has been featured nationally in more than twenty media shows and magazines like Time Life, Psychology Today, CNN, Good Morning America and Wall Street Journal. He has even worked with NASA.
Dr. Thompson's audio programs are used widely by psychotherapists, hypnotherapists, mental health centers, universities, hospitals, clinics, fitness clubs, healthcare professionals and many more.
Using your brainwaves to manage chronic pain and/or cope with chronic illness, reduce stress, enhance sleep, relax, improve mood, relieve anxiety or to simply stimulate more creativity, intuition, insightfulness and higher levels of consciousness is one of the simplest, most affordable, effective and holistic self-care strategies to you can find.
It requires no harmful prescription drugs, no visits to the doctor's office and is totally within your control, which also enhances mood, self-esteem and outlook on life because it's empowering. The benefits are so plentiful, it just can't be overlooked.

As young boys, Christopher and Taylor Malpass soaked up the music of their granddad's phonograph records. Christopher earned his first talent show trophy at age 7, and Taylor was playing mandolin by the time he was 10. Today, they promote the work and music of classic country artists they treasure while creating new music and making their own mark in the lineage of a rich American cultural heritage.
With sincerity, honesty and an utter ease on stage that belies their years, their smooth vocal blend and skillful musicianship layer infectiously into the deep respect they pay to legends who have paved the way. Add the funny, off-the-cuff quips between the two 20-something siblings, and the engaging concert becomes a magnetic time-traveling journey to when a calmer rhythm reigned supreme.
The Malpass Brothers toured with the late Don Helms, former steel guitarist for Hank Williams, have opened for music legend Merle Haggard on multiple tours and appeared on stages from the Shetland Islands to Ryman Auditorium to Merlefest. Gifted musicians and songwriters, the brothers have shared billing with artists including Ray Price, Willie Nelson, Doyle Lawson, Rhonda Vincent, Marty Stuart, Doc Watson and more. The title cut video from their "Memory That Bad" album hit CMT Pure Country's Top Ten. Their most recent self-titled recording, produced by bluegrass legend Doyle Lawson, was released by Crossroads' Organic Records in 2015.
If you like cornbread & hush puppies, you're gonna love the Malpass Brothers. If you like sweet tea, barbecue & collards, you're gonna love the Malpass Brothers. If you like clean fresh air over a freshly-plowed field, if you like a great big ol' corn puddin' at a homecoming covered dish, you're gonna love the Malpass Brothers. That's a promise. (And you don't lie about a covered dish supper.)
This is the real deal, folks. There is no pretense. This is music steeped in the legacy of the Louvin Brothers, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Sr. & others. Count on classic, real country. Count on new Malpass tunes. Count on a couple of old-time traditional gospels. Count on their probably coming down into the house at intermission and asking what you'd like to hear. Count on giggles and ribbing between brothers. Count on some big hair and fancy boots and maybe even an Elvis twitch or two. Count on lines at the merch table – and count on logging on to find out where and how soon you'll be able to see them next!
…My brother Taylor and I do the type of music we do because this music speaks to us, and speaks to the souls of its listeners. For us, traditional country music is the 'real deal' – every song portrays life's joys, heartaches, problems and happiness. It comes from the heart, and has depth and truth. Nothing is sugar coated. Our goal, really, is to see this music be revived, to help ensure it doesn't fade away. It is so encouraging to have young people come to our shows with a new interest in our 'old music.' Being able to introduce what we love to another generation feels like a great accomplishment for us. We want this music to be around for our children's children…"

An Important Message to Dear Friends & Fans of the Malpass Brothers
We wouldn't be here without your support of our music over these many years. We appreciate you more than we can say.
Because of current health & safety concerns for you and your families, as well as ours, we ask your cooperation as we work to practice recommended precautions at this time. While we will continue to try to meet, greet and sign merchandise for as many of you as possible following a performance, we will also be limiting direct physical contact. Instead of hugs and handshakes, we promise to give you great big smiles (and maybe an elbow nudge or a butt wiggle) just so you know we care. We kindly ask your observance of the same practices when at our shows.
We love you as much as ever — and we'll be kissin' & huggin' again just as soon as we can!! (And just so you know, it's hard to play a guitar if you're wearing rubber gloves!)

Alabama gymnastics topples Michigan State in season-opener
WVUA 23 Sports,
By WVUA 23 Sports Reporter Grace Brister
No. 7 Alabama gymnastics defeated No. 9 Michigan State 196.975-196.550 in the coaching debut of head coach Ashley Johnston.
For the Crimson Tide, this is the second highest season opening score in program history.
Alabama's Makarri Doggette shined on the vault with a 9.95 and the Crimson Tide finished strong with a team-score of 49.325. Michigan State managed 49.300 on the vault.
On the uneven bars, Doggette along with teammates Cam Machado and Luisa Blanco scored a 9.90. Alabama registered a team-score of 49.275, while the Spartans finished with a score of 49.075.
Blanco delivered the highest score on the beam with a 9.90 and the Tide finished with a score of 49.125. The Spartans were right behind them with a score of 49.00.
Blanco danced the night away on her floor routine and finished with a score of 9.95. Alabama finished with a 49.250, and Michigan State had a score of 49.175
Alabama's new head coach, Ashley Johnston said the energy at her alma mater was just as she remembered it from days as a Crimson Tide gymnast.
"It sort of feels like I never left," Johnston said. "Walking back in there, a lot of people asked me, 'Are you nervous? What does it feel like?' and I just kept saying 'no, I actually feel really calm.' This feels like home to me. This feels like I'm just walking in for another meet prepared ready."
Alabama freshman Gabby Gladieaux said that this is something she's looked forward for a long time.
"Its been my dream since I was eleven-years-old," Gladieaux said. "To come in and feel the energy of the crowd, and the energy of my best friends beside me, it was quite literally a dream come true."
This was Doggette's first time competing in the all-around since freshman year due to injuries, and she said she was happy to be back.
"Obviously, its been a little but frustrating," Doggette said. "I just had to trust myself and trust (that) my body knew what to do. I knew I could do it if I just put in 110 percent."
Both Doggette and Gladieaux said that it was special to open the season with a new head coach.
"I think it goes to show the preparation that we've been doing every day in the gym," Gladieaux said. "I think every single one of us goes into the gym with the mindset that we have nothing to lose and I think that really showed tonight."
"(Coach Johnston) has put in so much work for us and made us such better human beings and gymnasts," Doggette said. "I think we really wanted to show her how much we appreciate her and how much we love her tonight."
Alabama will travel to face No. 16 Arkansas on Friday, Jan. 13. The competition is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and will be carried on SEC Network.

I'm trying to find my way back into a routine, and I decided to attempt that by testing out this 2 x 3 Fabriano Artistico Extra White 300lbs soft press watercolor paper. Must the name be that long? Anyway, I hadn't quite figured it out on the rose, but the leaves got much better. Fabriano is the only brand that has a soft press and it's supposed to be an in-between paper for cold and hot press. Once you get used to it, it's very lovely to work with. I like that you can easily get a loose look and a tight detail all on one paper. You just have to control the amount of water on your brush and pay attention to the drying time. I'm glad that it comes in a 300lbs since I work in so many layers. I was noticing with the 140lbs paper I was working on, it just stopped taking layers at a certain point.
I found this paper amongst all the sample papers that Blick sent me. I originally just asked for their hot press papers in certain brands, but I guess they just all come together, and I got the rough, cold, and hot of all of them. I'm not complaining because that's how I found this wonderful paper.
For those of you who want this piece, watch my Pinterest page this Sunday. I will be hiding it somewhere on one of my boards and the first person to comment on it will get it.
I love these inktense blocks from Derwent. While they work similar to watercolor, they're not watercolor. They're ink in block form and depending on how much water you use, they can be opaque or more translucent. However, adding more water will affect the lightfastness of the ink. That's pretty much my only issue with these is the lightfastness issue, but this is a new product. So I'm sure this will improve over time. I do like that you can buy sets and buy them individually. That way if you run out of a certain color, you don't have to buy a whole new set just for that one color.
You can draw with these and then add water, or add water to the block and paint just like you would with watercolor pans. I love the intensity of these colors, and as far as the lightfast issue, if you use a matte UV spray varnish and then put it behind UV glass, you should be fine. I use a UV spray by Golden for my watercolor, coffee, and tea paintings. I'll probably just use that on these. I need to get some pencils of these inktense and do a review of how those work, but I'll have to wait until I can afford that.
In case you didn't see my posts from the other site. Here's the post of the review of some supplies I ordered from dickblick.com.
Ok. So I finally had some time to play with my new art supplies in between taking care of my cute little one. The first thing is my FAVOURITE! I love these little glass jars. I can pour hot water into them to mix up my paint, and then put a lid on them so nothing spills when I'm not using them. I had to write on the lids to tell the difference between the coffee though. Otherwise, they get mixed up when you move them. Oops.
I already knew I liked the Canson XL watercolor paper because, I was already using it. The Stanislaus brush set that I got didn't work out. Even though it's advertised for watercolor and acrylic, it's too stiff for watercolor. I would consider it more of a craft acrylic brush. I'll probably keep them for that, but I'll need to get different brushes. These were cheap. So at least I didn't spend a lot of money on something that didn't work out. This is why I don't have a painting for you guys. Even though I had time to mess around a little, the brushes ruined my painting. Sadness.
The Golden Archival Spray Varnish seems to work out alright. My only suggestion is to make sure it stays outside for a while, or in a very well ventilated room. The fumes are not pleasant. I also tested the Sakura Micron pen on the painting that didn't work out. The pen works nicely. I'll have to redo the painting thouh. I think it'll be easier signing with the pen than how I have been doing it. Hopefully they'll be a new painting for you soon!

Family asks for cards from around the world for 4-year-old battling brain cancer's last birthday
A family friend is calling on the public to send birthday cards to Delaney, who is turning 5 on December 16
ByKendall Keys, WISN
Delaney Krings is battling terminal brain cancer, and next week she will mark a birthday that her mother says will be extra special.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- A 4-year-old girl from Wisconsin has inspired nearly everyone she meets.
"She brought light and love to people. That's why she's our angel. And apparently she's being called elsewhere to finish her angel work," said Heather Krings, Delaney's mother.
The young girl was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the end of October, WISN reported.
"You can't really convey to a little kid that they won't be around much longer. So she knows she's in the hospital because of the 'owies' in her head," Heather said.
Her mom said doctors gave Delaney weeks to live.
"A kid who has been dealt a card no kid should have," Heather said.
But an infection made that time even shorter.
"Your heart stops for a minute. The world stops. You can't breathe, you just try to process it. She's four, you know," Heather said.
A family friend is now calling on the public to send birthday cards to Delaney, who is turning five on December 16.
"On the maps that we have up, we have stickers to put for all of the locations for where the cards have come from, so Laney can see that she's got love from all over the world from people she doesn't even know," Heather said. "And it has taken off. I believe there were 400 cards in the mail today."
The goal is to collect cards for Delaney from around the world.
"Oh, that's a new one, we haven't had a Utah yet," Heather said as she sifted through the day's cards.
They hope to keep the little girl smiling and laughing for as long as possible.
"As long as she still knows what's going on, she can hear, she can see, she knows us, she remembers us. That clock, you have to ignore it because what's our purpose here? To make whatever time she has left as best as we can," Heather said.
Delaney is hospitalized, but her mom and dad take turns staying with her so she is never alone.
If you would like to send a card, mail it to:
