- Naja Gref ナジャ・グレフ, Naja Gurefu, Nadja Grev in the anime is a half human half silverwolf Feral who wields wind and fire wheels in battle An intellectual, he always insists he is right, even when he clearly isn't He is also extremely fond of his human mother Naja is a member of the World Salvation Committee, but faces considerable prejudice and discrimination because of his half-human heritage He also displayed the ability to transform for his special attack In the anime, he is not a fighter but is good at anticipating where the World Destruction Committee is at He is also shown to be much calmer than his game counterpart Voiced by: Hiro Mizushima Japanese game, Daisuke Ono anime, Anthony Bowling English, Awwab Bukhari English
- Agan Mardrus アガン・マードル, Agan Mādoru, Agan Madoru in the anime is a childhood friend of Morte who wields a whip in battle He's a member of the Sand Tribe, and the chief's son He used to be second in command of the Golden Lions, a human resistance group fighting the ferals, but abandoned the group after a member betrayed him It was revealed in his backstory that he was motivated to join the Golden Lions because a Feral friend from his childhood treated him cruelly when they met as adults Agan's mother is the Chief of the Sand Tribe, and he is next in line for the role of leader His father Ganza Mardus assumed the role before his mother His special attack has him call in ten members of the Sand Tribe to shoot his enemy, indicating that he already has the respect and obedience of some members of the Sand Tribe In the anime, he's a smuggler with no prior connection to Morte, and continues to run into the World Destruction Committee by chance Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino Japanese; Eric Vale English, Andre Ceglio English game
The development team of the game comprised over fifty people and includes key designers who previously worked on Xenogears, as well as former staff from Grandia, Drakengard and Etrian Odyssey The game was directed by Kyoki Mikage of imageepoch and produced by Yoichi Shimosato of Sega6
The score of the game was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, Shunsuke Tsuchiya, and Kazumi Mitome The opening theme was performed by the Czech Philharmonic A promotional album titled World Destruction Premium Soundtrack was offered with pre-orders of the game in Japan7
The original story draft for the game written by Masato Kato was allegedly much darker in tone and more violent than the final product In it, humans were food for the Ferals, rather than merely subservient, and there were several scenes of human characters being killed and eaten Fearing a restrictive rating from Japan's CERO and wanting to market the game to younger audiences, the game's producers had the story altered to appeal to a mainstream Japanese audience Yoichi Shimosato, the game's producer at Sega, later expressed in an interview that while he felt the developers had made the right decision in regards to marketing the game in Japan, the original concept would have been "more fun and compelling"8
North American versionedit
At the Tokyo Gameshow, Ryoei Mikage, the president of imageepoch confirmed that his team is working to localize World Destruction, to be published by Sega USA A new/rewritten musical score will be created by Yasunori Mitsuda, and the difficulty may be tweaked for the North American release9
On December 10, 2008, Sega officially announced its plans to release the title in America under the title "Sands of Destruction" The game was released on January 12, 2010

My father's stories and me
It might not be the first thing you think of when you meet my father, but beneath his quiet stoicism is a man bursting with stories.
His words, simple and straightforward, have always ensnared my imagination. I don't know that you can capture what life is about with words, but my father's stories at least showed how life should be lived. And they have built a narrative where each part offered a glimpse of the man he would become, the man he is.
He is a storyteller. He is Mexican, after all, and practiced in that sacred art.
Much like the country his parents hail from, he is a study in contrasts: Eighty percent of the activities he and I have done were done in silence, but that other 20 percent? That time was filled with stories.
Now, some of these were true (I've confirmed with multiple sources), while others are most likely bullshit. But I can never be too sure what actually occurred.
RELATED: The things I didn't understand about Dad
I know that, working for his father's business, he used to smuggle small shipments of items like tennis rackets and copper rods throughout northern Mexico. His stories of bribing local cops have been corroborated by his siblings.
But was he ever shot at by the federales while making his runs? Always one step ahead of the law, like a Latino Han Solo? Probably not.
And I know he served in the Navy, and that he was a diver on a submarine during the Cold War. But was there an electrical fire on board while he was in Soviet waters? Was he ever in Soviet waters?
And what did he actually do on board a CIA boat?
At these questions, he usually stops, gives a small smile and replies, "Classified."
But every story, whether about his travels throughout the world or his time in dive school or his beloved cars, showcased his future greatness. He can make even mundane stories sound exciting, whether tarring a roof quickly to avoid a storm or learning how to tile or fixing an electrical outlet in a flooded basement.
At some point, though, truth becomes irrelevant to the stories themselves, instead building up a picture of a man whose life was rough, adventurous and daring.
Listening to my father's stories always filled me with a sense of awe, but also of envy. I so badly wanted to live that life, have stories to equal his. Despite my own college drinking stories, minor dust-ups, near-death encounters and travels, they pale in comparison. So far, mine are the stories of a staid, safe, softer life.
Through his stories, his life seemed so grand as to the point of being unbelievable — a legend where I couldn't help believing each part, no matter how outlandish. And not only a legend I wanted to keep hearing, but one that inspired me to seek my own such stories — stories that would implant the same awe in my son, should I have one. I wanted to compete with this legend and have my stories outshine his.
Even at 26, my stories have yet to do that.
My father has constantly told me he wanted a better life for me than he had and is proud of the way I've turned out. College-educated, with a stable job and decent pay. It's been a life free of the struggles both he and my mom faced growing up.
As I've grown and matured, so too have his stories. Not only in the way they are told, but the stories themselves. No longer are they just the stories a child might find enthralling and romantic. But as my experiences in life, in all its joys and sufferings, have become broader, so, too, have the range of his stories.
They provide an all-too-human look into his legend.
I have heard his terror on being on a nuclear submarine, isolated from the world, unsure of when, if ever, war would break out with the Soviet Union. A war that would mean instant death for him.
I have heard about the long period of feeling rudderless that he fell into after his own father's death. About the helplessness and lack of direction he felt in life.
And it is through these stories that, just as much as the adventurous ones, our relationship has grown and deepened.
RELATED: My father's wallet
Perhaps my case is not unique. Perhaps telling and comparing stories is the primary way fathers and sons communicate with each other, build their relationships.
And perhaps sons will never feel like they can get out from under the shadow of their fathers, no matter how many stories of their own they have and no matter the best intentions of their fathers. I know for me, my perception of my father and his stories has changed and grown over the years. What I knew about him when I was young has been proven true in some cases and wrong in others.
And despite these changes, despite my sneaking suspicion that not all his tales are true, despite always learning more about the man himself, I still pray that one day I'll be more than my father's son.
But I can't possibly match his stories yet.

KeRanger malware targets Mac OS X
KeRanger is the first ransomware to target the operating system, whilst demanding pay of one bitcoin
A new malware dubbed KeRanger or OSX.Kreanger has surfaced and appears to be the first ransomware to target the Mac OS X operating system.
KeRanger was briefly distributed in a compromised version of the installer for the Transmission BitTorrent client. Mac OS X users who downloaded Transmission on 4 March and 5 March 2016 may be at risk of being compromised.
The malware was signed with a valid Mac Developer ID, which meant that it could bypass OS X's Gatekeeper feature, which is designed to block software from untrusted sources. Apple has since revoked the Developer ID used by KeRanger.
Security experts Symantec said once the malware is installed, it will search for roughly 300 different file types and encrypt any it finds. The malware will then display a ransom message, demanding that the victim pay one bitcoin, approximately US$408, and the payment is made using a website on the anonymous Tor network.
In November 2015, a proof-of-concept (PoC) threat known as Mabouia was developed by Brazilian cybersecurity researcher Rafael Salema Marques, who highlighted the fact that Macs may not be immune to the threat of ransomware.
Marques shared a sample of the ransomware with Symantec and Apple. Symantec's analysis confirmed that the PoC was functional. While the threat could be used to create functional Mac OS X crypto ransomware if it fell into the wrong hands, Marques said he has no intention of publicly releasing the malware.

If someone is "off base," it means they are wrong or are mistaken about something.
'Off Base' Origin
This phrase possibly originates with the sport of baseball, where a base runner may position himself a short distance away from a base plate, thus he is off base. This can be seen as potentially risky move to do, as the player whose foot is off the base plate could be picked off by the other team if he's not careful.
This saying goes back to at least the 19th century. For example, the Piqua Miami Helmet newspaper from the year 1880 uses this expression:
"Yet today he is almost peniless. I saw him last night on his semi-weekly spree. As he said 'the old man was off his base again.' I have seen him bet $50 on 'faro' when so drunk he could not see the cards."
Example Sentence(s)
- Tim thought that the milk he was buying had no sugar in it. But he was way off base because when he checked the nutrition label, sugar was listed on it.
Note: The origins for many common idioms and phrases are not clear. In cases like this, what may be provided on the page instead is a theory as to how a phrase may have originated. Or, if no theory is mentioned, then I'll at least try to include a quote on the expression's page to give you an idea for a old a phrase is, at minimum.
These quotes are typically the oldest known citations of an expression being used in writing, and most of the time they come from newspapers, books, or poems. It's possible that older citations exist and I have overlooked them.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise bestseller of 2011—an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography that enthralled readers and critics alike. Publishers Weekly called it "an enjoyable, eccentric read, distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters."
This second novel begins in 1940, immediately after the first book ended. Having escaped Miss Peregrine's island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends must journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other surprises.
Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight fantasy readers of all ages.

The reasoning for both an academic CV and a resume is basically the same: relevant things come first. For a PhD application, research papers and research experience are usually much more relevant than professional experience.
So, I don't understand why you would downplay your papers, since papers are probably much more relevant than your professional experience.

Many otherwise ambitious homeowners find interior design to be a subject from which they would prefer to keep their distance. In most cases, the only problem is a lack of knowledge of basic design concepts and styles. By utilizing the ideas in this article, it is possible to acquire an ease and understanding of interior design that will be the envy of everyone you know.
If you are planning an interior design project you should decide on all of your textures and colors before you begin. If you do not plan it all out in advance you can find that you end up straying from your original plan. This is not good, as you want an organized looking outcome.
Do not neglect your basement when you are planning an interior-design project. If you have a basement that is even only semi-finished, it can be transformed into a great space to entertain, play or relax. If you are ready to start designing your home and have a basement you should think about what you can do to make it a place that you can enjoy.
Have a theme in mind. Is there a specific color scheme you rather enjoy? Do you have a fondness for retro furniture? Deciding on a theme before you even begin your planning phase can save you a lot of time and effort. Make sure you know what you're going for before you start planning for it.
There is such a thing as too much, as adding too many items to a room will make it look cluttered. Using too many pieces of furnishings, the room can look smaller and cramped. Rather, choose fewer items in order to maintain an airy feel.
A good interior design tip is to not get too carried away with showing off your big TV or entertainment system. When your friends are over, they won't be inclined to talk with a giant TV staring them down. If you still value conversation, make sure your TV isn't the center of attention.
Do not use bright colors in your bedroom. People generally sleep in bedrooms. Obviously, a bedroom should be a relaxing place to be in. Regardless of how much you might like the color orange, leave it out of the boudoir. Bright colors have no place in the bedroom. Even if they look fine initially, using them could be a decision you come to regret.
Always keep functionality in mind when you're designing a room. You need to consider your day to day usage of the room. Ask yourself if certain features will inhibit your day to day usage. Will it become hard to maneuver around? Will it become distracting and hinder you? Your room should be functional above all else.
Tackling interior design projects is something that many find to be an unappealing prospect. Most of those individuals simply need to spend some time learning more about the subject itself. By studying the tips above, even the most reluctant interior design newcomer can gain the skills necessary to decorate like a true professional.

The French Revolution - Vol. 1
The French Revolution - Vol. 1
The origins of the Revolution of 1789 lie deep in French history; the basic outcome of the Revolution hastened the nation's development without altering its historical direction. Begun by the 'patricians', as Chateaubriand remarked, the Revolution seemed to be the final episode in the aristocracy's struggle against the Capetian monarchy, and thereby it ended the long history of the kingdom. Completed by the 'plebeians', it made certain the advent of the bourgeoisie. Thus it inaugurated the history of modern France, but nonetheless capped the era preceding it, for the germination of that class within the feudal world it undermined was one major aspect of a long- term development.
Neither of these features sets France apart from Europe. All European states were formed similarly, at the expense of the lords, and all were sooner or later dominated by the rising bourgeoisie. The French Revolution was not the first which benefited a middle-class--before it, two revolutions in England and one in America were landmarks in that evolution.
Viewed in the broad development of civilization, the Revolution has greater significance. After the barbarian invasions ended, a passion for conquest drove Europeans towards domination of the globe, towards discovery and control of natural forces. At the same time a bold determination to govern the economy, society, and manners grew stronger--for the welfare of the individual and the improvement of mankind. The bourgeoisie of 1789 guaranteed freedom of research to the scholar, freedom of enterprise to the producer, and at the same time undertook to rationalize the ordering of politics and society. The French Revolution denotes one step in the destiny of the Western world.
Nevertheless, as its power grew the bourgeoisie could have stepped into government without breaking with the aristocracy.

Mark Twain Mark Twain is believed to be the father of all American literature. Twain was known for writing about issues of his time such as slavery, due to his style of honesty and truth he was known as one of the very first modernist writers. Mark Twain had many inspirations that motivated him to write his novels. The inspirations varied from events that he witnessed and experienced, people he met in his lifetime, other stories he read or heard about, and his environment. The writer known
Mark Twain It is indisputable that, during his many years of writing, Mark Twain established himself as a literary genius. It is also indisputable that the primary reason for his success as an author was his quick wit and sense of humor. During this nation's time of political and social division, Twain wrote about many of the simpler things in life while always showing his humorist side. His brilliant comedic mind was especially unusual for any popular writer around during this rough time period
Mark Twain has often been accused of being racist due to his derogatory writings of African-Americans in Huckleberry Finn, but he truly is an uneducated satire novelist who is inspired by his own childhood experiences, travels, and political movements, to mock what is wrong within his society. Critics such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People complained about the "N" language and the use of Jim the Slave in Huckleberry Finn stating that the book was racially biased
Mark Twain is known around the world because of his novels. He is beloved by many. Samuel Clemens was his real name, but he went by the pen name Mark Twain which is the name most know him by. He liked to write about the society around him. His writings were influenced by his experiences in life. He often wrote about the Mississippi River, which he lived on most of his life. Twain was a huge part of literature because of his many accomplishments. Which is why he is considered one of the greatest
Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, was a world famous novelist whose works are still read and praised. Twain was a renowned American writer who wrote about his personal experience of the world and surroundings. In Twain's memorable life he was a confederate soldier, a printer, a gold digger, business man, a riverboat pilot and above all he was a natural writer, who self-taught and entertained. His literary works are famous for their lifelike details, humor, and characters. Mark Twain is not just famous
Mark Twain, a Racist?Mark Twain was a man that was way ahead of his time. In a time when people were judged on color,Mark Twain grew up in Florida, Missouri (Mandelbrot, Twain). In Missouri and Louisiana combined there were less than one half a million white persons (Chang, Twain p. 21). Which meant the black population was abundant. While growing up Twain had no telegraph, no railroads, no stage lines of any consequence (Twain, www.marktwain.com). Also maps were scarcely ever found. So Twain didn't
and silver. When this venture failed, he returned to the newspapers and started writing under the pen name Mark Twain,which meant " Two Fathoms."(referring to 12 feet of water)(Marshall Donald,Newspaper West,P. 3 ) After writing ,"The Celebrated Leap Frog", Mark Twain would become famous as a humorist, American Novelist, and Satire.(Rasmussen,PP. 6)(Marshall, Newspaper Week,P. 3) Mark Twain became a recognized American writer with critics like Bernard De Voto claiming "More widely and deeply than

He liked how the words "Mark Twain" sounded and in one of his first books, 'Life on the Mississippi' about his four years piloting the Spread Eagle along the twisting river, he decided to use the name Mark Twain. Mark Twain stopped piloting the riverboat in 1861, at the start of the Civil War, to join the Union. He went to war for two weeks and

After NASCAR's Xfinity race Monday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway race winner Justin Allgaier did a burnout. You know the thing every NASCAR driver does after winning a race. Dump the clutch, spin the tires, and celebrate like a degenerate. When Allgaier did that he laid some rubber over the yard of bricks.
Look at this shit. Why do you put up with this @IMS? pic.twitter.com/UKngErdx7U
— David Land (@DLand91) September 10, 2018
"Elitist" race fan and unkept shelve haver David Land was among the outraged. "Why do you put up with this @IMS" asked Land. Likely because NASCAR pays to be there and those are bricks on the ground that saw 40 cars pass over them for 400 laps. And they're bricks.
Have I mentioned that they're fucking bricks? I don't think I can state enough that these are bricks we're talking about. No one did a burnout on a Bernese Mountain dog, a litter of kittens or even a small child named Brently who would deserve it with a name like that. Nope, we're talking about bricks. The same things your house is built of. The same thing Jared Forrest threw at my head in the second grade. The same thing countless people piss on across this country outside of bars weekly.
Land is a purist who believes the bricks are sacred. They're his version of the golden tablets and he's Joseph Smith or something. As a racing purist myself I have to say I don't give a shit about a burnout over the bricks. And here is why.
The ENTIRE track used to be bricks and they paved right the fuck over those. Maybe I really liked the bricks at the exit of turn 1. Doesn't matter because racing on bricks in 2018 is stupid. That's why a one-yard span of bricks is all that's left. And I hate to break it to everyone, those bricks aren't in their original location.
The yard of bricks should be about 14 inches below the track surface. The bricks aren't that sacred if they were there would be a trench on the front stretch with the bricks in their original location. And Indianapolis would have a San Jose GP style jump on the front stretch.
Personally, I love the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and everything about the place. But come on guys these are just bricks. You can find them in the damn creek. Rubber washes away and the bricks will still be there. Don't get on the internet and start saying things that sound like false equivalence and make a bigger fool out of yourself.

Two of my friends hold parties for Japanese who don't have many opportunities to speak English in spite of studying it. It's Global Friendship Party and the third one was held at a coffee shop named Calm in Meito-ku, Nagoya last Thursday on 22. There's a rule in each party. It's speaking in English!
There were about 20 people in the party including three people from foreign countries such as Estonia, Belarus, and France. Since the Estonian lady has joined in all of the three parties, I know her. It was, however, the first time to see the Belarusian lady and the French man for me.
The Estonian lady acted very well as the master of ceremony. I think she's good at presiding. She wore a very pretty suit on which beautiful flowers were painted that day, and looked very nice in it.
Since the French man mentioned that he used to go for a drink before dinner in France, I asked him that he drank French wine at bars. And he replied, "Nooooooo!" According to him, wine is drunk when people have dinner usually at home.
When you eat out in Japan, you can easily find many good restaurants which serve cheap and delicious food. But it seems that people usually pay at least 3000 yen each person for dinner when they eat out in France. That's why most people have dinner home. He said that he had beer or strong alcohol at bars. And I've heard that Japanese culture has become popular in France, but it seems that Japanese food has not spread yet.
The Belarusian lady was really beautiful. She has a nice figure. According to her, her both parents used to athletes. She didn't say but I think she must do something sports. She told me a story about a mysterious lake.
There is a lake in Belarus. In the legend, it saved Belarusians from the German invasion at the war. The lake is very deep, but it doesn't look so and is hidden behind forests. So troops are trapped in the lake when they are trying to entering by force without knowing about it…
I was able to listen to interesting stories from a Japanese man, who is a member of JAICA, at the party as well. I had a nice time again. The next party will be held on July 15. I'm going to take part in it so far.

Ana Gomez
Full-day workshop
Ana M Gómez, MC, LPC is the founder and director of the AGATE Institute in the U.S. She is an EMDR Institute, and EMDR-IBA trainer of trainers in Colombia. She is a psychotherapist, author, and an international speaker on the use of EMDR therapy with children and adolescents with complex and developmental trauma as well as generational wounds and dissociation. She has been the keynote and invited speaker at numerous conferences and workshops. She has presented in over 70 cities in 15 countries.
Ana is the author of EMDR Therapy and Adjunct Approaches with Children: Complex Trauma, Attachment and Dissociation and several books, book chapters and articles on the use of EMDR therapy with children and adolescents.
She is the author of Dark, Bad Day...Go Away, a book for children about trauma and EMDR therapy which has been translated into four languages. Ana also developed and created "The Thoughts Kit for Kids" and co-authored with Dr. Francine Shapiro, an article on the use of EMDR therapy with children, published in 2013. Ana was the recipient of the 2011 "Distinguished Service Award" from the Arizona Play Therapy Association and the 2012 Sierra Tucson "Hope Award."
Ana has de developed numerous intensive programs and protocols that include the "EMDR-Sandtray Protocol" and "The Systemic, EMDR- Attachment Informed Program to Heal Intergenerational Trauma & Repair the Parent-Child Attachment Bond."
Ana Gomez
The Theory and Practice of Using Systemic-Attachment Informed EMDR Therapy with Parents and Children to Heal Intergenerational Trauma & Repair the Parent-Child Attachment Bond
Generational wounding legacies, narratives and stories are often passed through implicit non-conscious procedural messages that take place in the parent-child relationship. These hidden burdens held in memory become core organizers of the individual's sense of self. This presentation will address the complexities of the treatment of intergenerational transmission of unresolved trauma and attachment patterns.
Adults with unresolved states of mind do not receive the experiences necessary to develop a coherent sense of self. They build defenses and internal representations of the self as inadequate, shameful and unworthy and the other as unavailable and incapable of meeting deep needs for connection and safety. Such adults, see, feel, perceive and interpret their children's needs and behaviors through the lenses of these defenses and internal representations.
For parents with unresolved trauma, their child's routines may serve as activating stimuli that shift the parents' attention from their child's needs, to their own survival and self-preservation. As a result, the parent's integrative functioning and with it the capacity to hold the child's mind in mind is thwarted and compromised. These misattuned, asynchronous-traumatic-dyadic interactions may be one of the routes from which generational wounding is passed on. This presentation will introduce an attachment informed EMDR model to work on healing the child, the parent, strengthen the attachment bond and end the cycle of generational wounding.
This presentation will focus on practical and creative strategies for working with children and their parents. You will learn a model developed by Ana Gomez to work with parents and children that include four different levels of parental involvement. You will learn how to help parents develop attunement, awareness and mentalizing capacities through the use of videos and diagrams that explore "relational choreographies" and "dyadic moment s of activation" based on the AIP model.
How to resource parents and use a number of strategies and protocols such us P-RDI as well as how to increase affect tolerance and state change capacities will be demonstrated. The installation of "dyadic-regulated states" with the child and the parent will be covered as well. Moreover, how to resource the "parent's younger self" and "the child's little self" will be addressed.
Dyadic processing and the use of a number of interweaves will be presented and demonstrated such as the "dyadic reparative interweave" directed to heal the attachment system and assist children in meeting unmet attachment needs. Interweaves that work with the child's "little self" using inner child strategies, Internal Family Systems (IFS), "Storytelling" and intergenerational interweaves that can repair attachment wounds will be addressed.

Dealing with strong vegetative hyperarousal and pain in the EMDR process with various EMDR techniques and protocols
In the course of their psychotherapeutic treatment, some patients challenge us because of their strong vegetative arousal and/or the emergence of serve pain during the confrontational work on traumatic memories. Such patients frequently terminate the processes or experience virtually no relief in the EMDR sessions.
What is important here for planning the therapy is to use all of our options for stabilization, activation of resources, support, limitation of the subject matter, distancing, oscillating between stresses and resources, using imagination, cognitive weaving, drawing as distancing, changing the type of stimulus or the body's posture and to consciously decide which EMDR technique and which EMDR protocol we can apply.
We can try to guide these patients, even as early as in the stabilization phase, to develop more self-efficacy in dealing with their own symptoms. The polyvagal theory can help us, here, to understand the various states of arousal/dystonia and the active and conscious shifting between the states. We can support this by applying arrangements and techniques that foster safety and bonding. These include dealing with voice and gestures, safe place or safe activity, developing the inner helper, rescuing or gaining access to the injured inner child (rescue story, loving eyes), activating resources (RDI), or activation techniques and exercises that use postural changes, movement, and music. This helps to build up patients' resources and competence when they deal with their own complaints as well as fostering self-acceptance (empathy).
For chronic pain, we can use the antidot imagination, the active bodily resource, the light stream or the spiral technique, in order to exert an influence on the pain. Because pain is often dissociated, imagination or drawing can help to make it more conscious and thus make it accessible to processing (e.g. four-field technique).
During the transition between stabilization and confrontation, pendulum techniques can aid in training affect tolerance; this also applies to switching between safe place and stress, the flash technique, or CIPOS.
And for the confrontation, EMD, EMDr, the standard protocol, and the reverse standard protocol are available to us – we can make a conscious choice, depending on the affect tolerance, the topic, and the patients' general ability to cope with stress and their resilience. During processing, we, as therapists, can provide support via our own conduct and presence, via changes in the kind of stimulation we apply, as well as weaving, via encouraging or interrupting affect bridges, via activation of resources, via changes in body posture, via slight movements, and via a conscious fragmentation of the stressful matter.
The aim of the workshop is to improve therapy planning through a more conscious application and use of our diverse options in EMDR therapy.

EMDR Group interventions – scaling up EMDR's efficacy
Traditionally EMDR therapy has focused on individual EMDR interventions. Existing mental health resources have great difficulty in meeting the demands for treating the various consequences and sequelae of trauma with its enormous burden on societies worldwide, and the access to EMDR treatment may be limited when large numbers are in need. The development of EMDR group protocols, The Integrative Group Treatment Protocol (IGTP) by Jarero and Artigas, and the EMDR Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) by Shapiro have the potential for EMDR therapy in which the access to effective EMDR treatment can be scaled up. Both protocols have first been used in the context of Recent trauma, yet in the last years the use of these two protocols has moved from a strictly recent event mass desaster protocol to a much wider variety of idications. They also proved to be effective in the field of former classical group psychotherapy, such as the field of psychooncology.
This workshop gives an overview oft he work and research that has been done with EMDR in group therapy. You will learn EMDR group therapy with the various fields of application.

EMDR and Emotional Processing: Working on patients with severe emotion dysregulation
Information processing is not solely a cognitive process or a simple brain function, but is a complex phenomenon that has only been partially studied and understood. Information processing models mostly come from cognitive neuroscience. The field of emotional regulation and emotional processing, which in recent years has experienced an exponential growth, has offered very interesting data and is generating diverse theoretical developments. This area can provide relevant ideas to a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of post-traumatic symptoms and EMDR's mechanism of action in the reprocessing of traumatic memories.
Excessive avoidance or rigid and prolonged inhibition of the negative emotional experience prevents an adaptive resolution. Observing in detail the situations presented in EMDR sessions, applied to various pathologies and clinical vignettes, is one of the main objectives of this workshop, based on the analysis of processes in psychotherapy.
The interventions I propose will thus be related to understanding the characteristics of each patient's system, in particular how they process emotions and situations that develop in the session and in-between sessions. Throughout this workshop I will raise many questions and some possible answers about different aspects related to emotional processing, such as (1) whether all emotions evolve in the same way with processing, (2) what role the intensity of emotion has in working with EMDR, (3) whether some emotional regulation mechanisms can facilitate or hinder the processing of memories, and (4) whether reprocessing certain experiences can modify emotional regulation functioning.
I will try to provide clinical reflections, linking them with a variety of research in the field of emotion, in order to facilitate a broader analysis of all these aspects.Although it is important to note that we move in the area of hypotheses, this will be a workshop focused on clinical practice, so that these hypotheses may open up windows for understanding the patient and contribute to the development of intervention tools.

There is an evident correlation between both psychic and physical diseases, emotion processing and past traumatic events: every life event may become "traumatic" when overcomes the person's coping skills and leads to pathogenic memories. The research findings suggest that the impact of negative childhood experiences on adult health is strong and cumulative. Stressful and traumatic memories may precipitate the onset of the disease and its evolution, side effects of therapies, diagnostic procedures, fear for the future, and also affect the doctor patient communication. Attachment unresolved issues affect therapeutic alliance with medical teams and reduce compliance to both diagnostic exams and therapies. As a whole, the presence of unresolved traumas affects greatly the prognosis of any disorder. A great deal of research focused on trauma and today the knowledge of its pathophysiology allows new possibilities of treatment, leading to the new field of the neurobiologically based therapies.
In the course will present some of the findings choosing those linked more directly to the clinical process of treatment. Particular emphasis will be paid to the close connection between Brain and Heart, that is between Central and Autonomic Nervous System in affective processing and in relational engagement. Porges' Polivagal Theory is widely used as a functional model of autonomic arousal but its efficacy can be improved integrating it with new models of Central Autonomic Network, offering a great opportunity to personalize both treatment planning and real time management. Richard Davidson, a renowned neuroscientist, identified six "Neurobiological Emotional Styles", reflecting activity levels in specific and identifiable brain circuits, each affecting the processing of sensorial, emotional and relational inputs and behaviours. They cut across diagnostic categories of mental disorders and Davidson's studies show the possibility to modulate the brain circuits functioning through specific psychological practices. We'll present a Neurobiologicallly Targeted approach to Psychosomatic Disorders centered on the Brain Heart connection. We'll show also selected practices to screen the polyvagal state, regulate the arousal at the optimal level in simple and effective ways and to process attachment failures. As an artist can play his best music only if he exploits the features of his musical instrument, so we believe that Neurobiologically Targeted EMDR Therapy can increase greatly the effectiveness of treatments.

[Chart] Music Bank 2010/08/27August 31, 2010
I actually thought Homme will win last Fri. They were everywhere last week. But then again, it is just a digital release. It will never have score in the album sales column. This is actually one of the reasons why I think Music Bank should change their criteria. It's very hard for Digital songs to win in their show though how much popular it is. I think Jo Kwon and Gain's "We Fell In Love" and IU and Seulong's "Nagging" are the only digital release song to have won this year. Anyway, that's that. Life can't always be fair. Congrats to BoA though. A win is still a win.

(NOTE: The "profit" aspect is completely subjective and is solely based upon finding satisfaction in answering accurately whilst helping someone in need)
So! I've been an off and on player for awhile now - I haven't played in many ages (same old song and dance - from what I hear)... I've seen a lot of changes take place, and coming back now is no different for me... I wouldn't say I'm a great player (by a long shot), just someone who enjoys the game in a laid-back manner (not a fan of supermath-crunching) and the friendly KD interactions... Even if (or when) we get schooled in wars... :-P
Anyways, here are my questions:
(1) Can the Paladin Personality cast their specific spells on KD mates? Or can ONLY an Elf Paladin cast their Paladin spells on KD mates?
(2) Does the War Hero Personality's bonus of Elite Conversion STACK with the Undead bonus of Elite Conversion? If so, is the stack purely additive? What's the rate of conversion into Elites for War Hero VS the natural Undead version?
(3) The Faerie bonus of having Access to All Racial Spells is self-evident... but in the wiki, the spell Inspire Army isn't attributed to the Faerie race... Wiki error or accurate information?
(4) Would an Undead Cleric benefit from -75% Military Casualties in Combat w/o Hospitals? ...Or not?
(BONUS) Anything extra to add? Perhaps a little tidbit that you found interesting that isn't obvious in the wiki?
Thank you for any help you can send my way! Have a great day everyone!

The Round-Up: December 1st
— The cattle industry lost a leader of leaders this week when former Canadian Cattlemen's President Neil Jahnke passed away. Jahnke lead the industry through the first two years of the BSE crisis, one of the darkest times for the Canadian cattle industry. The rancher from Gouldtown, Saskatchewan served as president of the CCA from 2002 to 2004 and Vice President from 2000 – 2002. He was the voice of the industry when the first domestic case of BSE surfaced on an Alberta ranch, calling on consumers to continue to support the industry. Jahnke's work with the cattle industry also included terms as chairman of the Canadian Beef Export Federation (1993-96), president of the Saskatchewan Livestock Association (1992) and chairman of the Beef Information Centre (1990-93). He was elected to the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2005. Jahnke was also induction into the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2001 and an honorary life membership in the Agricultural Institute of Canada in 1994. Jahnke was 70 years old.
— There's a new tool on the road to support the care of livestock in Alberta. Alberta Farm Animal Care unveiled a fleet of "ER trailers" along with a training program to support the people handling the trailer and equipment in Ponoka on Friday. The trailers will have the supplies to help corral and care for the animals in times of emergencies such as an accident in traffic or a barn collapse. The trailers will be housed at several locations across the province. These include the MD of Willowcreek – Claresholm;Cypress County – Medicine Hat; Westlock County – Westlock; Vermilion River County – Vermilion; and the Alberta Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), which will deploy an Alberta-wide roaming unit. The training course will be delivered by Lakeland College, as a new "Livestock Handling Equipment Trailer Training Course" at the college's Emergency Training Centre at Vermilion, Alta. A sub-committee of Alberta Equestrian Federation, the Alberta Beef Producers, Livestock Identification Services, RCMP, AFAC, and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development created the project plan. Rural Roots Canada sat down with Greg Bowie a livestock consultant, who was directly involved in the project, from the Ponoka area to talk about it. Check back for an inside look at the trailers, the training and the project as a whole.
— Livestock producers from across the Wildrose province are in Calgary this week for the Alberta Beef Producers annual general meeting. Speakers at the three-day event, which kicks off on Monday, include Cargill, JBS, AdFarm, Canada Beef Inc. and the Canadian Cattlemen's Association. Nominations open for Zone directors and Zone Cow/Calf Council on Monday morning at 9:00 a.m., with their elections happening at 11:15. Nominations for Cow Calf Council Members at Large and Cattle Feeder Council Delegates at Large happen 2:45 p.m. on Monday. Cattle Feeder Council Delegates at large will be elected at 4:15 p.m. that day. Election of Directors at Large will begin at 10:50 a.m. on Tuesday, with their nomination closing at 10:00 a.m. A final call for Nominations for Canadian Cattlemen's Association will close at 1:00 p.m on Tuesday with their election happening at 2:30 p.m.
— The heat is on at the Perennia Innvoation Centre in Nova Scotia where they are piloting a new heating system, which involves burning grass pellets. It is hoped the project will show how the renewable energy source can used. If successful it could grow the local market for grass pellets. The province's Agricultural Department is investing more than $787,000 into the pilot project. The province estimates it has 40,000 hectares of pasture, which could be utilized to produce 360,000 tonnes of grass pellets annually. Resulting in about $36 million every year for the ag industry.
