"Extraordinary, and emotionally wrenching." —The New York Times
In today's Syria, oppression and violence are so far-reaching that even burial and mourning have become subversive acts. In this immersive sound installation, artist Tania El Khoury pays tribute to that subversion, and to 10 people whose lives have been lost in the regime's brutal response to dissent. These 10 lie buried in family gardens, as do many others who have been killed in the ongoing conflict: public burial ceremonies expose family members to potential slaughter, and official interment also carries the risk of humiliation, with the bereaved often asked to sign documents absolving the Assad government of responsibility.
"This piece will change the way you think." —WhatsOnStage
In groups of 10, audience members are led to a garden space marked by graves. At each grave, one person will hear a story—the reconstructed history of an individual killed in the conflict. These narratives lie waiting to be unearthed; exhuming them is an act of discovery, of communion, of rebellion and defiance through art.

With less than two weeks until 2015 comes to an end, Crowdfunder UK has unveiled the best campaigns that hit its platform this year.
Phil Geraghty, MD of Crowdfunder UK, shared:
"At Crowdfunder we're so proud the innovative and inspiring projects who, through the support of the crowd, are working tirelessly to make their great ideas a reality. We're constantly in awe of what these projects have achieved through our platform, and because of this, we want to celebrate our 'Best of 2015', a collection of projects who have given us a masterclass in crowdfunding this year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at Crowdfunder."
Check out the projects below.
1. CleanSpace:
"CleanSpace came to Crowdfunder with the aim to inspire people to take action about the amount of air pollution in the UK's cities. Their revolutionary 'tag' is a portable air pollution sensor that enables the user to track personal pollution exposure in real-time. The air quality data is then anonymised, aggregated and combined with data from all the other tags across the UK. CleanSpace over £100,000 with 372 people getting their tag ahead of the market."
2. Green Party:
"Crowdfunder and the Green Party continued to work together to crowdfund a variety of Green Party projects in 2015. The Green Party raised over £300,000 for 192 projects, including helping to stand political candidates in over 300 seats across England and Wales. We hope that we can continue working with the Green Party, and give everyone the chance to Vote Green!"
3. Let's make London a National Park City:
"This year one Londoner set out on a mission to make London a National Park City in an attempt to make the capital greener, healthier, more beautiful and prosperous. The aim of a crowdfunding campaign was to create a proposal to be distributed to the public and to gain attention from higher powers. The project had backing from big names in politics including Zac Goldsmith, and achieved a target of £32,000 from the crowd."
"Action for Happiness are sick of the modern world bombarding us with misleading ideas about how to live a happy life. The group have developed a course to help thousands of people focus on what really matters in life, and wanted to bring it to the masses. After overfunding to over £100,000 the group now have over 1000 volunteers wanting to run the course in their community."
5. Grimsby Town FC:
"In 2015 the Mariner's Trust set out to achieve 'Operation Promotion' for their club, Grimsby Town FC. The dedicated fans looked to Crowdfunder to help them raise £20,000 for the club's transfer fund, in order to secure a key player for the following season. The whole community backed the project, achieving target in one day, and eventually overfunding to over £80,000!"
6. Output Magazine:
"Output Magazine managed to smash through their initial £10,000 target in less than 24 hours with their great #StopPress campaign. After being rejected from many banks and lending organisations, Output took their fundraising into their own hands and decided to crowdfund against the financial collapse of their business. Overfunding meant that the team were able to have a secure future and continue to employ under 30's staff who may not otherwise find work."
"In 2015, MAX: Move Against Xenophobia go together to produce the 'I am an Immigrant' campaign. The poster campaign celebrated immigrants in the UK and the contribution they make to our society, displaying an initial collection of 15 people and their inspiring stories. To date the campaign has been displayed in over 400 London Tube stations as well as railway and bus stations around the country, and featured in numerous national articles."
"With the government threat of losing the Human Rights Act, Amnesty International decided to send a strong message to Justice Secretary Michael Gove. The group decided to crowdfund to buy advertising space in The Times, and send a strong message to the government that people were going to put up a fight. Amnesty International raised more than £28,000 of an initial £10,000 target, with their ad going to print in May."
9. The Real Junk Food Project:
"In the UK 15 Million tonnes of edible food ends up in landfill each year. The Real Junk Food Project legally intercepts this food, transforming it into healthy, nutritious meals to serve to the local community on a Pay As You Feel basis. The project were looking for extra funds to get the cafe up and running 7 days a week, raising over £16,000. Real Junk Food was also featured in Crowdfunder's War on Waste campaign in partnership with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall."
10. Mazi Mas:
"Mazí Mas is a social enterprise dedicated to supporting women from migrant and refugee communities, providing opportunities for those who aspire to careers in the food industry to gain paid work experience, develop their skills, tell their stories, and connect with the wider public. The team were able to raise over £16,000 to fund a residency at Ovalhouse Theatre as well as extra training for the women."
11. Save Brixton Cycles:
"Brixton Cycles has been a much-loved part of the Brixton community for more than 30 years, and with their premises under threat of demolition, the team looked to crowdfunding to help fund the cost of a new building. Brixton Cycles had huge support from their local community and managed to overfund to over £60,000 (which meant the loss of a beard for Jim) to help them on their way to a new home."
12. Positive News:
"Positive News, the first publication in the world purely dedicated to positive developments, gave us the chance to #OwnTheMedia in their community shares project this year. With the help of the crowd wanted, the company to step away from the idea of the news being owned by a handful of proprietors and give the power back to the people. Positive News raised over £250,000 for the development of the business and gained 1526 new shareholders."

The Improbability Principle illuminates the scientific background of chance and probability. Ultimately it demonstrates that even those events which we would otherwise consider "miraculous" are actually to be expected, as long as we have the right information.
Have you ever witnessed an event which seemed so improbable and so unlikely that you had to ask yourself: What were the chances of that happening? One in a million? One in a billion?
And yet, there are many real life examples that suggest that events with vanishingly small probability happen every day.
Consider this strange coincidence from 1972, when the actor Anthony Hopkins was signed to play a role in a film based on G. Feifer's novel The Girl from Petrovka. He traveled to London to buy a copy of the book to study the part, but unfortunately, none of the popular bookstores had a copy.
On the way home, however, Hopkins saw a discarded book lying on the seat next to him in the subway station. That book's title? The Girl from Petrovka. When Hopkins later told Feifer about this strange occurrence, he learned that he had found the copy that Feifer once lent to a friend who lost it!
The chances of this happening seem dizzyingly small, and yet there are many other such examples:
It's tempting to look at each example and think that each is nothing short of a miracle. After seeing events of vanishingly small probabilities, we might wonder if the scientific laws of nature and causality occasionally break down. In order to try to explain such rare events, some look to superstition, prophecies, gods or miracles.
Yet, as we'll see later, we don't actually need to appeal to the supernatural to explain these highly improbable events.

women leaders: when "blooming where you're planted" is a bad idea
Up until year ago, a physician leader I know was doing doctor stuff on TV – like Dr. Oz or Sanjay Gupta. She loved everything about TV, from sharing her expertise in women's health to planning her segments with the producer.
Secretly, she loved tossing aside her scrubs and clogs for her white coat, a pretty wardrobe, and stylish shoes.
And spending time in hair and makeup? Fab, of course.
Some people are born for TV.
She's one.
She's smart and funny in all the right places. She's approachable and expert at the same time – like a board-certified, wicked-smart version of Kelly Rippa.
Every time I watched her on TV, I'd have a vision of her with her own show.
But then she stopped doing her TV spots when she got even busier with work after being tapped for a leadership role in her healthcare system.
Today when we talked, she told me that she's been feeling super-anxious.
Not about her practice, BTW.
The patients, she tells me, are the easy part.
She's anxious about the politics she has to navigate every. single. day.
Her colleagues – even those she considers friends – criticize her leadership style and whisper behind her back about her decisions.
They won't, she tells me, say anything to her face. The twin imps of mistrust and jealousy nip at her heels where ever she goes.
She finds respite in her operating room.
And yet, she tells me, every day she does her best to get up and go to work with a good attitude.
She told me that she does her best to be helpful, to be kind, and to bloom where she's planted (because she's from the mid-west and that's what we're supposed to do.)
Can you relate?
I told her that her life sounds a little like junior high or a college sorority. Or an episode from the Real Housewives.
She laughed, a knowing, pained laugh, and then quickly turned serious as she asked me what she should do.
Did I have advice or a strategy she could use?
Or maybe something to help her manage her anxiety?
I did.
But not what she expected.
I recommended that she call her PR department and get herself back on TV again.
As soon as possible.
Why? She asked.
Here's what I told her.
Because you belong there.
Because you're an influencer.
Because you've got a contribution to make that goes well-beyond negotiating salaries and designing call schedules for ungrateful burned out colleagues.
Because I believe that you're actually meant to have a global impact with your ideas and your expertise.
And because sometimes the universe as a not-so-subtle way of telling you when it's time to shift gears and to go do your work.
The way I see it, I told her, is that her work as a leader requires a much bigger stage than the one she's currently standing on.
It seems to me that her environment is telling her that it's time to blaze her own trail, rather than continue to do what she thinks she's supposed to do, rather than continuing to try to bloom in hostile soil.
Now over to you.
What's the cost of trying to bloom where you're planted?
What creativity and leadership qualities are you stiflilng as you keep your roots in hostile soil?
What positive actions have you taken to transplant yourself?
Robyn McKay, PhD is an award-winning career and leadership expert for emotionally-intelligent, successful women in STEM, Medicine, and other high-performance fields. Women leaders work with Dr. McKay to recover from burnout so they can reconnect with their unlimited reservoir of creativity and innovation and revitalize their careers and their lives.

Slash Peak Period Prices
In today's energy complex, power providers pay excessive fees for power during peak periods. While these periods may be short relative to the entire year (two weeks in the mid-summer during a heat-wave), they can be extremely expensive.
By augmenting the existing power production with one of HTI's Hydrogen Boilers, a power provider can flatten their cost curve for purchasing power during peak periods. During off-peak periods such as the middle of the night, or by using renewable sources such as solar, wind, tides, and/or hydro-electric to produce the hydrogen cheaply and locally. Then, "bank" the hydrogen by storing it at or near the power production facility. This reduces the cost of the fuel stock as well as eliminates transportation costs and wasted energy through distribution lines. Then, during peak periods, burn the "banked" hydrogen saving on peak period rates.
Having the additional capacity during peak periods will ultimately deliver better profit margins to companies providing power. In addition, this strategy lowers the cost of private companies generating their own distributed power.

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones rocketed to record highs last week. Both indexes saw weekly gains of 1.5% and 2%, respectively.
But Money Morning Technical Trading Specialist D.R. Barton sees a slight dip coming, which is why he just revealed a list of the best stocks to buy now before the market pulls back.
Before we reveal Barton's favorite stocks to buy, here's why markets jumped higher last week…
Why the Best Stocks to Buy Now Will Withstand the Market Drawback
Stock market indexes in both the United States and around the world had banner performances last week.
In China, the benchmark Shanghai Composite and Nikkei 225 indexes jumped 2.2% and 9.2% on the week, respectively. That marked the third straight week of gains for the Shanghai Composite.
European markets also moved higher. London's FTSE 100 Index added 1.2% on the week, while France's CAC 40 surged 4.3% over the same period.
Despite the rally in global markets, the heightened interest in safe-haven gold shows investors are still worried about the post-Brexit market environment. [Editor's Note: These are the two best tech stocks to buy after the Brexit vote.] For the 25th week out of the last 27, money flowed into the yellow metal. Gold prices have soared 25.6% this year, ranking the metal among the best-performing assets of 2016.
Still, our best stocks to buy now have remained resilient. In fact, the broader U.S. market shrugged off a recent spate of international attacks, including the terror attack in Nice, France. The VIX, which is the market's fear gauge, sits at its lowest level in a year.
There was a time when geopolitical crises had a big impact on the markets, but that's clearly not the case anymore.
"For the past 30 years or so, the markets have become less and less sensitive to global trouble spots and, naturally, more and more dependent on the actions of central bankers," explained Barton, a widely read authority on technical trading with nearly three decades of experience.
After the Brexit vote sent markets crashing, news of stimulus measures around the world helped markets quickly recover…
The most notable measure came from the Bank of England, which said it expects to launch fresh stimulus on multiple fronts in August. The central banks in Japan and China also stated they will use monetary easing measures to stimulate their economies.
Watch These Five Companies in 2016… There was a huge absence of IPO activity last year. In fact, only 170 companies went public in 2015 – down from 275 the year before. But 2016 is about to change all that as some of the biggest companies in the world prepare to hit the market. Here are the five we're keeping an eye on…
While Barton noted the stunning rebound effect these measures have had on markets, he said markets will likely fall from their current highs. The bullish sentiment will naturally fizzle out and lead to a short-term pullback.
That's why Barton just compiled a list of the best stocks to buy now to profit from this decline. One of his recommendations directly plays market volatility, while another is a massive tech titan that's proven resilient during times of turbulence.
Here are the three best investments right now…
These Are the Best Stocks to Buy Now
With a pullback likely about to happen, Barton said a leveraged volatility play will yield big profits when market turbulence returns. He recommends the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term ETN (TSE: VXX), which lets you make money from short-term market volatility. In other words, a drop in the S&P 500 will send shares of VXX higher.
And if we get the pullback Barton is expecting, he said to look into adding some big-name companies to portfolios.
The first blue-chip stock he likes is defense giant Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT).
Shares of LMT stock hit an all-time high of $263.37 last week. The company recently confirmed it signed a $166 million deal with the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Under the deal, Lockheed will develop, design, test, and produce dry combat submersible systems. Lockheed was chosen among 34 other applicants for the contract.
"This stock has proven time and again that it has the juice to stand up to the markets," Barton said. "And as far as we are concerned, we're going to be riding this profit train as long as we possibly can."
LMT shares are up 18.8% so far this year. That far outpaces the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500's advances of 6.8% and 6.4%, respectively.
Barton also recommends buying Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) stock at the first sign of market weakness. Shares of the social media leader jumped last week on reports its Messenger app will soon support instant articles.
Instant articles allow users to read content directly on the social media platform rather than on another site. The company said this update will load up to 10 times faster than a standard mobile web article. The rollout of the Messenger update is expected to occur over the next couple of weeks.
Today (Wednesday, July 20), Facebook announced Messenger has surpassed 1 billion monthly active users. The news helped push FB shares to an all-time high of $121.63. The Facebook stock price is now up 15.9% in 2016.

Ask Michele Larkin-Wagner and Molly Larkin-Symanietz what sets them and Maplewood, Minnesota–based Larkin Dance Studio apart, and they immediately give the credit to their mom. Shirley Larkin founded the school in 1950 and continued to oversee the growing business until she passed away in 2011. "She put Minnesota on the map for dance training and made other local studios step up to the plate to become as strong as we are," Michele says. "A lot of people's lives are better because of Shirley Larkin."
For Michele and Molly, following in their mom's footsteps was a no-brainer. "I knew I was going to be a choreographer and take over the studio," Michele says. To Molly, seven years Michele's junior and the baby out of six siblings, the studio was always a second home. The two sisters trained across genres but had distinct specialties: Michele found her niche in jazz, musical theater and lyrical, while Molly excelled in tap. In the summers, they'd travel for workshops in Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles. While Michele was in class with jazz legends like Gus Giordano, JoJo Smith, Luigi and Frank Hatchett, Molly was taking tap classes with the likes of Brenda Bufalino and Phil Black.

Why Customer Experience Trumps User Experience
Whenever I'm asked to explain customer experience, I'm always hard-pressed for a short, easily digested answer. It's just so huge! What doesn't it cover? Not much. And the real stumper: Who is responsible? Customer experience is often translated into user experience as the front-end digital experience of users.
Although they're not the same, they aren't that different. So which comes first? Here's how user experience can inform customer experience strategy, and vice versa.
Our first contender: user experience
Digital experience provides some simple and convenient ways to connect with customers, gain real-time feedback and allow for innovation. Consider the following:
1. Website analytics highlight user behavior, which is usually more factual than what they tell you. Watching where users drop off, where they linger and where they act can put your entire organization on the right path.
2. Users visiting your site are there with a purpose in mind. Inviting feedback in that critical moment allows you to collect emotional and immediate responses. In the heat of a disappointing moment or the happiness of a successful mission, customers will provide real-time feedback reflecting what they REALLY feel, not just the option on the survey that best suits their reaction.
3. Customers can show you what they really want through A/B testing and experience innovations. Ever since the dawn of the digital era, we've been testing and experimenting. We test context and see what works better. We experiment with design and gain knowledge on what resonates with customers. It's so much easier to do this with user experience than any other channel or touchpoint.
Remaining mindful of reactions and analytics can absolutely inform your customer experience. But what about trends? There's an ongoing debate about how user interface design is based on current trends (as well as guessing at future ones), and therefore is always at risk of being overshadowed. Consider what happened to MySpace, Netscape and others of yesteryore. The problem, as I see it: Too often, user experience is based on what works in the moment rather than the overall mission.

The sixth grade girls volleyball team at Saint Anastasia School in Playa del Rey captured the division title in the Pac Ten Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) league last month.
After earning a 7-1 record in the regular season, the St. Anastasia Panthers faced rival St. Paul the Apostle school in the semi-finals of the playoffs, taking the victory in three games.
This set up the final match against American Martyrs where the Panthers again emerged victorious in three games.
Coach Matty Morisaki was pleased with how the team has continued to improve over the past few seasons.
"Over the course of the season, I have seen our team grow in many areas," Morisaki said.
"I saw them learn about themselves as well as playing as a team and trusting each other. Our girls learned that respect for themselves and others, sacrifice and teamwork are all important ingredients for the success we had this season."
St. Anastasia Principal Rosemary Connolly said, "Not only did our sixth-graders win it all, we had a fine showing with our fifth grade team, who finished the season 7-1.
"I'm proud of the sportsmanship and athleticism our players showed, and look forward to continued success in our program under the guidance of coach Morisaki."

While many may believe that any wedding almost all about the bride, individuals still in order to show appreciation to your bridesmaids. Are generally generally your right-hand ladies that always already been through it for the person. They have taken time to be there and help get you started on " special " day and what better to showing appreciation than providing them with a bridesmaid gift. Realize do you avoid getting a generic bridesmaid gift or something like that that they'll just restore when they get ? Here are some bridesmaid gift guidelines that should help you in your pursuit of choosing perfect bridesmaid gift. DH: Yeah, I'm totally OCD. Not clinically, but probably pretty close. I have a practice of going through my drawers, probably once every two weeks, and putting together a huge bag of clothes, that then choose to adopt a resale store called Crossroads, or Buffalo Exchange in Chicago. I sell my clothes and with whatever money they give me, I'm going and any whole number of new patch. I don't really shop at the mall or buy anything new. I'm a huge [[clothes recycler>http://Www.Community.Covnews.com/archives/search/?searchthis=clothes%20recycler]]. Plus, I cannot stand to have too much, but rather just enough. I hate not being able to find stuff. I used to start a lot of laundry and wonder why I had all those clothes, hence it got me in the habit of removing of a lot of stuff. I definitely hate clutter. I do that with furniture quite. Another replacement for consider for just about any special evening out or occasion is think about [[Niall Horan Tour Dates>http://www.niallhorantickets.org/]] Concert Tickets. It is possible to particular band or group you would want to see lead? Of course a concert could mean a number of things. May well mean attending a classical music concert or something in aid of cause. There are lots of different possibilities here, so consider the kind of [[concert>http://Www.foxnews.com/search-results/search?q=concert]] you need most to check out appropriate entrance tickets. A general lack of affection is a sure sign of things on a downward spin out of control. When a woman decides that she's not interested anymore, it is time to really keep your distance. Give her space. Don't forget that women love space. Each and every women loses the need to be affectionate, undertake it nice and uncomplicated. Maybe a nice note on automobile before she goes to operate or possess a bath drawn for her with some candles when she comes home for business. The key is because of this expect anything in gain. Do it because you care, not because leaping something. Could pick up on that including a hawk and will appreciate you for the game. Don't you a supplier. Buy too. Get the best of both mobile phone industry's. Sell on one hand, buy on the other. This continues to keep you abreast of what grow older they really want invest in and costs they are willing to pay, so the an idea what to market the next time. It shouldn't be, particularly if they can wisely produce tickets several other seasons, too. Summer for instance is a period when a slew of concerts and festivals are being organised. Ticket sellers should take this chance to help spread persons and ultimately, make money for their own. Each Saturday through February 2, well-known kids performers take activity is in the Nautilus Theater at SeaWorld Orlando. Laurie Berknew - Solo! will be the January 19, followed by Choo Choo Soul with Genevieve on January 26 and the Kratt Brothers Live, the actual stars belonging to the Wild Kratts, on February 2.

'If You Are Tired Of Starting Over, Stop Giving Up'
1. Drink more water
A lot of studies say that drinking water is good for weight loss. Hydration is really important for many factors that play a role in weight loss, including digestion and muscle function.
In the first place, water is an appetite suppressant, that means that if the stomach is full, the brain sends signals to the brain to stop eating. So water can lead to a feeling of fullness and help you eat less. Also, you might think that you are hungry when you actually are thirsty. Try drinking a glass of water before reaching for any snack.
In addition, some studies indicated that water increases calorie burning, especially cold water because the body consumes energy to warm it up.
Another important fact about water is that it reduce liquid calories intake, which is amazing considering how easy it is to accumulate them by drinking soda, juices, sweetened coffee or tea, sports drinks or alcoholic beverages. Removing even just a few of the drinks that contain calories with water or some other beverages without calories, like unsweetened tea, will have long-term benefits for weight loss.
So stay hydrated! Water is an essential factor and the body cannot properly metabolize stored fat and carbohydrates without it.
2. Sleep better
Studies have found that poor sleep usually has bad results on weight gain and it has a higher likelihood of obesity. For example, University of Chicago found out that just four days of sleep deprivation can lead to diminishing your body's ability to properly respond to insulin.
Poor sleep can also increase your appetite. This happens because of its effect on the hormones that signal hunger and fullness (ghrelin and leptin). Ghrelin is a hormone released in the stomach and it signals hunger in the brain. Before you eat the levels are high (when the stomach is empty) and after you eat the levels are low. Leptin is released from fat cells and it suppresses hunger and also signals fullness in the brain. When you don't have an adequate sleep, your body makes more ghrelin and less leptin. That makes you feel hungry and have an increased appetite.
So, if you are trying to lose some weight, the amount of sleep and it's quality may be just as important as your diet and exercises.
3. Be aware and control how much you are consuming
Weight loss mainly happens when you consume more calories than you eat.
What is a calorie? It is a unit that measures energy and it is usually used to measure the energy that food and beverages have. In order to lose weight, you have to eat fewer calories than your body burns each day.
You can try this calculator to see how much you should consume per day, then start using an app to enter everything you eat (or write it down) and make sure you have a calorie deficit at the end of the day.
Beside these tips, try to exercise regularly, create your own healthy eating habits, be patient and the results will come 🙂

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A detention officer with the Dallas County Sheriff's Department has been arrested for child pornography.
Toussaint Kisasu is charged with possession with intent to promote child pornography, a second degree felony.
Kisasu, who has been with the department for almost three years, was arrested March 6.
Kisasu was arrested after two detention service officers received an inappropriate video through text messaging. They immediately notified their supervisor who then contacted the department's criminal investigation section, according to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.
Kisasu is still employed, but has been reassigned to another office. "Mr. Kisasu is entitled to due process under our civil service policy," the department said in a statement.
Kisasu is currently under both a criminal and internal affairs investigation by the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.

Establishing an Archetypal Intention for each session has proven itself to be a powerful tool in the alignment process, providing an anchor for us to focus and direct our personal intentions through and increasing the band width of the carrier wave through which our combined intentions are transmitted.
Collecting the etheric energy of the room Pyradym structures the combined intentions through a copper wrapped Selenite crystal wand located before amplifying our broadcast signal outward through its Brazilian Quartz Crystal Capstone.
Pyradym helps induce Whole Brain Integration and this balancing of the brain's left and right hemispheres stimulates its neurological structure which can facilitate better cognitive reasoning, more efficient learning skills and improved motor coordination.
Being able to get out of our own way allows us to open the door for fresh perspectives and new ways of being to enter into our field.
These group meditations are for all levels of participant and for those wishing to practice meditation but unable to still their mind chatter long enough, Pyradym is a valuable asset as it prolongs the Delta/Theta brain states most conducive to mediation and healing.
Amplifying Pyradym's low frequency tones to fill the room the practitioner intuitively guides their way through the 70 minute session to deliver a deep state of mental tranquility as the harmonious waves stimulate and revitalize us at the cellular level.
Group meditations differ from Signature Sessions as they address a much wider field of energy.
Aligning the signature frequencies of the group as a collective body Pyradym goes 'just where it needs to' in order to harmonize the collective field, whilst still delivering the required treatments at an individual level.

Tipping Tim's Festive Tip
It's five days until Christmas, so that means it's only four days until we all have to fight our way through the crowds to waste our valuable winnings in shops that charge more for the wrapping than they do for the presents. Racing stops for two days on Christmas Eve so that the elves have time to hang up their silks and help Santa with the gifts, so we need to find some winners while we can!
The nap this weekend has to be Chatterbox in the Ladbroke Hurdle (3.35 Ascot). There aren't many horses who have beaten My Tent Or Yours, but that's exactly what this beast did at Newbury last season and he sneaks in here off 143 after a couple of subsequent reversals. He looked like a non-stayer at Cheltenham and might have needed the run on his return last month, and I fancy David Bass' mount to outshine better fancied stable-mate Rolling Star tomorrow.
I'm heading back to my favoured Polytrack for the next best, and the pin has fallen on Alfred Hutchinson in the 2.00 Lingfield. This old timer is a bit of a favourite of mine, and although he can look a bit trip-less at times I think a fast mile is probably what he wants. He has been ticking over in good races for a while now and, with half of this field needing to prove that they still have a pulse, he could be ready to get back in the Winner's Enclosure.
For the Trixie I'm going to hope that Galician sees out the extra furlong in the 2.35 at Lingfield. She is just about the most consistent Mark Johnston horse ever (which probably means she will fall out the back of the telly tomorrow) and she surely only has to repeat her recent form is be bang there a furlong out. Whether or not she will see out those last few yards is anyone's guess, but I'll be paying to find out.
Happy Christmas to all, and good luck with your festive punting!

Airline competition key
April 10, 2003
Weld County's business leaders got a peek into the airline industry Wednesday from someone who knows what he's talking about.
The industry was built on competition and that's what could help lower passenger fares as airlines struggle to make a profit, said Sam Addoms, Frontier Airlines' chairman of the board.
Addoms, a former University of Northern Colorado business instructor, was the keynote speaker at the Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership's annual meeting at the Greeley Country Club.
A 40-year veteran of business management, Addoms was chief executive officer of Frontier from 1995 until his retirement last year.
As Colorado's port, Denver International Airport plays a key role in the economy, Addoms told about 200 people who attended the lunch. His account of the 100-year history of flight shows why the industry is in chaos.
It started as a race: Who could invent a flying machine first and what country would be the first to buy that technology for its military?

Ultimately, the United States contracted with the first airline companies, to transport mail, and regulated prices.
As technology improved, staying in business became a more expensive endeavor. Companies that could not keep up withered away and left a few airlines in control, giving a select few control of the market.
Eventually, the government gave up regulation and companies were free to set ticket prices as high as they wanted.
"They depended on business fares and were unable to resist raising fares," Addoms said.
Sept. 11 put many companies in financial disarray. Some got government bailouts, and others, like United Airlines, declared bankruptcy.
Colorado is feeling the impact. If United's reorganization doesn't work, Addoms feels sure Colorado can attract other big-name airlines, such as Delta and Continental, to create a hub at DIA.
Again, competition will be key, Addoms said. Flying will become less expensive to passengers if carriers specialize – some offering ritzy rides and others an inexpensive seat with few extras.
"I don't think anything tragic will occur, but at the same time, I don't think United will go away," he said.
Sam Addoms is Frontier Airlines' chairman of the board. From 1995 until his retirement last year, he was chief executive officer. He helped create Frontier, starting in 1993 as vice president. From 1994-2001 he was president.
He was chief financial officer of Monfort Colorado from 1972-1980. He was made chief executive officer and president in 1976.
He has lived in Colorado for 30 years. He and his wife, Cathy, have three children and seven grandchildren.
