Discover how meditation breathing can help you relieve stress and anxiety! Breath: one of the most simple, rudimentary actions we perform in order to stay alive. Its pace changes depending on our mood, on our physical and mental state. But the same can be said the other way around: by changing how we breathe, we can change ourselves. Mindful breathing aims to do this. Experience the huge health benefits of this practice, and find our more about it by reading this article! Breath Awareness Start by finding a comfortable place to sit down. Close your eyes, and keep your breath steady. Slowly, try and shift your awareness just to the way you inhale and exhale. This must be your focus. Does it feel good? Do you make noise while breathing? Use just a minute to take in all this information. Slow Down Continue your meditation breathing slower and slower each time. If you can, try and count the heartbeats in-between. You don't need to be precise, just remember to focus all your attention on your breath. Don't strain it, make it natural, peaceful and beautiful. via GIPHY Let Out the Negativity Now, you are at peace. Focus: with every time you inhale, you are taking in positivity. With every exhale, you are releasing negativity. Continue your mindful breathing to relieve stress for as long as you need it. This time is only for you to enjoy. When you feel you are ready to return, slowly open you eyes. Breathe in deeply one last time, and rise. Guided Meditation If you tried this exercise and found it difficult, try aiding yourself with a guided meditation to relieve stress.

France v Ireland Six Nations 15:00 Sun
Ahead of the tough trip to France in this weekend's only Six Nations fixture, hooker Rory Best has said that Ireland can secure victory in Paris, ending their horrific record against them in the process as Paddy Power make them long odds for victory at Stade de France.
The Irish have only secured victory once since 1972 and not since 2000, while their form at the start of this 2012 campaign hasn't been entirely convincing.
An opening day defeat immediately ended their Grand Slam hopes, while the 42-10 victory over Scotland last weekend wasn't as comfortable as the score-line suggests.
Paddy Power will offer free bets worth £100/€100 to spend on any sport this weekend, including the Six Nations action! Exclusive to SqueaykBumTime.com
Declan Kidney's men can still technically win the Six Nations Championship though, but they need to win in France and this is an extremely tough challenge.
However, Best – who played all 80 minutes against Scotland – believes that he and his team can raise their game and produce a victory against the odds on Sunday afternoon.
The 29-year-old said: "It's a massive challenge, but we have an opportunity to write ourselves into the history books. The record books say that us winning in Paris doesn't happen very often, so from an Irish point of view it would be a massive result for us."
"We go there full of confidence, but we're fully aware of how long it's been since we've beaten them in Paris. As competitive players you want to have these big moments in your career. Sunday evening can be one of those for us."
Regardless of whether Ireland can pull off a famous victory, this is a contest that everyone is looking forward to. As mentioned, it is the only Six Nations match of the weekend, so all eyes will be on the Stade de France.
Les Blues will be confident of securing victory on home soil having won their last nine matches in front of their own fans in the Six Nations championship.
If Best's belief is replicated across the entire Ireland team though, who knows what can happen. They will certainly go into this one knowing that they need to produce their best performance of 2012.
France v Ireland gets underway at 3pm on Sunday afternoon.

I was late getting to bed on Friday night. It was an hour into Saturday morning before I crawled between the sheets, made room for the cats and settled down for a snooze. I was sooooo glad that I didn't have to get up early in the morning for work. I could sleep in. My eyes closed and I drifted off…
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
I'm a sound sleeper by any measure. But the loud, insistent sound began to penetrate my dreaming brain. I reached out blindly and slapped my alarm clock.
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
I slapped again. My clock has about 10 buttons on the top. I pushed every single one. Blindly. In my sleep.
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
OK… maybe it was the phone. Not a usual phone sound, true. But I was asleep. The phone seemed a likely candidate. Eyes still closed and brain still basically in dreamland, I reached out, grabbed the phone, hit the answer button and brought the receiver to my ear. Hello? I heard… Dial tone.
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Not the phone. What the heck was it? I realized that I was going to have to, alas, wake up. I blearily opened my eyes part way and, setting my glasses on my nose, rose to a sitting position. 5:00 AM. What the heck was that noise? AH! I've got it! It's the battery backup on the computer. I must have lost power and it's telling me. I need to shut the computer down. I sleepwalked towards the back bedroom I use as an office. As I passed the control pad for my burglar/fire alarm on the wall, I noticed that the beep was really loud right there. As I turned the corner into the office, the sound faded a little.
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Instantly wide awake, I started at the alarm control. A yellow light labeled, rather unhelpfully I think, TROUBLE was on. Within about 30 seconds, I had every light in the house on. I walked around, looking for something out of place. Everything looked OK. I reset the alarm to turn the beeping off, and looked closer at the control. It didn't indicate that any zone had been breached. Nor did it indicate a fire. Besides, when a zone is breached, it doesn't beep. It emits a huge, whooping alarm and yells at the top of its voice, Warning! You have entered a secured area! Leave immediately! Every time I test it or set it off accidentally, I expect to see the robot from Lost In Space (the old TV show, children, not the newer movie) come rolling in: Warning! Danger Will Robinson!
What the heck does TROUBLE mean? I'm not really into psychoanalyzing my burglar alarm at 5:00 AM. I got out the owners manual. It informed me that the usual cause of the yellow light was bugs in the fire alarm. Insects, that is. It added, with a note that I'm sure my car mechanic would appreciate, that regular maintenance was the best way to prevent problems. I've lived in this house for 10 years. I have to vacuum out my fire alarm? Who knew? I went to bed. The adrenaline rush from the alarm had done its work. Sleep remained elusive.
At 6:00 I arose again, put on a pot of coffee and then turned the vacuum on the fire alarm. I reset the alarm. TROUBLE I fetched a can of compressed air, and, balanced precariously on a step ladder, whooshed out the alarm. TROUBLE
The manual suggested testing the fire alarm and then resetting. In deference to my neighbor's Saturday morning sleeping, I waited until after 8:00 AM. Testing the alarm requires the following steps: (1) Call the monitoring service and tell them you will be testing and ignore signals sent for the next hour. (2) Balance precariously for what seems like forever on the aforementioned step ladder while holding a teensy little magnet at the exactly correct distance from the exact correct spot on the side of the fire alarm until the alarm responds by first flashing a red light and then reacts by whooping the alarm and yelling Warning! A fire has been detected! Leave the premises immediately! (3) Climb down off the ladder as fast as possible while holding hands over ears and turn off the alarm.
I reset the alarm. No lights. Everything was quiet. I breathed a sigh of relief, secure in the knowledge that I had solved a problem quite handily. I went back about my own business. For about five minutes.
beep beep beep beep beep beep beep TROUBLE
I called the alarm company. They don't work on weekends but Scott is really good about answering his pager. He was able to look up the signals from my alarm. The good news is that everything is working OK and I'm still safely protected from both unauthorized entry and fire. Once a week, to make sure it can talk to the outside world and send an alarm to police, fire, etc., the alarm sends a signal to the company and waits for a signal back. If it doesn't get one, it sends again – about 8 or 10 times. Then it starts beeping and trouble-ing so you know there's a problem. Why does it always happen at Oh-dark-30? I asked in joking sort of way. We pick a time when you're not likely to be using the phone. Scott replied helpfully. Ack! This was on purpose! Scott thinks I need a new DSL filter because the alarm could send but didn't recognize the return ping. He's sending me a new filter in the mail.
If the new filter doesn't come or doesn't work, you know what's going to happen next Saturday at 5:00 AM.
This is a little bit of stash enhancement that occurred this week. Yarn from Lisa Souza. On the left is Mahogany and on the right is Mars Quake.
I know I don't really, really need any more sock yarn. But who can resist yarn called Marks Quake? And the Mahogany is simply to die for. My camera does not do justice to either. And at $16 for a 560-yard skein, this is one of the best hand-dyed yarn bargains on the internets.
I was also very impressed with Lisa Souza's customer service. My order was answered by e-mail very promptly. I paid via pay-pal, and that can sometimes slow the order down. But my payment was acknowledged within minutes! The order was mailed and delivered within days. I will definitely buy from Lisa again.
My pocketbook does not find that fortunate.
Socktober Socks #2 are coming along. They are stuck right now in the instep black hole, but they do advance slowly. If I can just get some knitting, time, I will get them done!

On May 30th, Facebook announced it had plans to build a data center on a 490-acre site in Eagle Mountain, Utah. The center is expected to open in 2020, and will create around 30 to 50 full-time jobs and additional contract opportunities on an as needed basis. The City of Eagle Mountain has said that the project "represents a $750 million investment in [the city]," according to Fox Business.
Facebook has announced it will invest $100 million in local infrastructure in Eagle Mountain. This includes roads and a new electric substation. To make this investment appealing for Facebook, the company is "set to receive $150 million in property tax incentives." Tax exemption legislation in Eagle Mountain was actually passed in 2016, with the exact purpose of attracting data centers.
"After a thorough search, we selected Eagle Mountain for a number of reasons – it provides good access to renewable energy, a strong talent pool, and a great set of partners," said Rachel Peterson, vice president of data center strategy at Facebook, in a news release. Facebook's decision to put its center in this region does not come as a huge surprise, because it will be located 15 miles south of another data center, belonging to the National Security Agency.

Small Estate Affidavit
When an individual dies without a Will, the probate process can be time consuming and expensive. There are times when a full probate administration may not be necessary or the assets are just too small to constitute the financial expense of a probate proceeding. In Texas, there is a Small Estate Affidavit that allows the transfer of assets to the heirs without the necessity of going through an administration. The Small Estate Affidavit has certain requirements that must be met, but otherwise is a quick and less expensive way to wind up the affairs of the Estate.
What Is A Small Estate Affidavit In Texas?
A Small Estate Affidavit is a type of probate proceeding in Texas for those estates where the individual died owning assets worth less than $75,000 (not including homestead or exempt property) and did not have a Will. The Affidavit is a document that lists all of the assets and their values, the heirs and their shares, and any debts owed by the Decedent. The Affidavit then gets filed with the Court and an Order shall be signed if approved by the Judge. This type of proceeding does not require a Court hearing.
Where Do You Get A Small Estate Affidavit In Texas?
An Attorney can assist you in preparing a Small Estate Affidavit. In addition, many of the court websites have a Small Estate Affidavit form that can be downloaded and completed. If you are unsure, please an Experienced Probate Attorney to assist you.
What Are The Requirements For A Small Estate Affidavit?
Pursuant to the Texas Estates Code Sec. 205.002 a Small Estate Affidavit must be sworn to by:
- two disinterested witnesses;
- each distributee of the estate who has legal capacity; and
- if warranted by the facts, the natural guardian or next of kin of any minor distributee or the guardian of any other incapacitated distributee.
A Small Estate Affidavit must also include:
- all known estate assets and liabilities;
- the name and address of each distributee; and
- family history concerning heirship.
Additionally, all of the assets must exceed the known liabilities. This means the value of what the Decedent owned must be greater than the outstanding debts at the time of death.
What Documents Are Required For A Small Estate Affidavit?
When filing the Small Estate Affidavit, you must include a proposed Order and a copy of the death certificate. In addition, you should have enough detail regarding the assets, debts, and the family and marital history of the Decedent to be able to complete the Affidavit appropriately.
How Much Does It Cost To Get A Small Estate Affidavit In Texas?
Each county has its own filing fee schedule, so court costs can vary. If you prepare the document on your own, you should expect to pay between $250 and $400.00 in fees. If, however, you choose to hire an attorney to assist you, the cost can be between $500 to $1,000.
A Small Estate Affidavit is a great tool for those estates that involve a small bank account. If you are unsure whether the Estate qualifies for a Small Estate Affidavit, contact an Experienced Probate Attorney to schedule a consultation.
Does A Small Estate Affidavit Have To Be Notarized in Texas?
Yes. According to Texas Estates Codes section 205.002 an affidavit must be sworn to by two disinterested witnesses and the distributees or heirs. In order to swear to a document the person signing must do so in front of a Notary Public.
If your loved one passed without a Will and there are very few assets in the Estate, contact the Law Office of Ronda S Haynes, PLLC to schedule your consultation to see if a Small Estate Affidavit is right for you. Our Experienced Probate Attorney can help you determine the right path for your circumstances and explain the process fully so you are confident in your choice.

Tae Bo Creator Billy Blanks Expects Richard Simmons To Return 'Soon'
Billy Blanks, the creator of Tae Bo believes Richard Simmons will be back 'soon'.
The Los Angeles police have checked on elusive workout guru Richard Simmons of being fine, despite the rumor that he was captivated as a hostage.
Richard may return to the public eye soon, according to Tae Bo master Billy Blanks.
Blanks said he trusts his 70-year-old fitness companion, who hasn't had an open appearance since 2014, will make a rebound after having some effort to think about himself.
"I think he needed that private time ... to get (himself) together. I think that's what he's doing and I think soon he'll be back," Blanks said in an interview Sunday with The Blast.
Simmons' representative Tom Estey refused to comment to USA TODAY on Blanks' remarks.
Also Read: Fitness Guru Joe Wicks Criticised By Fans After Sharing 'Dangerous' Picture Of His Daughter
The Tae Bo creator clarified Simmons may have dropped off the open radar something about 10 years ago to make himself a top need after quite a while of helping others.
One of the people Simmons helped inspire was Blanks, who credited the famous fitness instructor with inspiring him to create his own exercise program.
Interest in Simmons' abrupt retreat from public life re-emerged in February 2017 following the smash podcast "Missing Richard Simmons," in which his previous companion Dan Taberski researched Simmons' disconnection. During the web recording's run, Los Angeles police made a health check to the fitness superstar's home and reported Simmons was "fine."

In April 2017, Simmons reemerged on Facebook days after an alleged report of being hospitalized for serious acid reflux to guarantee fans that he's OK, saying thanks to well-wishers for their worry.
"Aren't you sick of hearing and reading about me?!" Richard joked. "Well, by now you know that I'm not 'missing,' just a little under the weather. I'm sure I will be feeling good and back home in a couple of days."
Richard Simmons is popular for his work of advancing health improvement plans, most unmistakably through his Sweatin' to the Oldies line of high impact exercise recordings, and is known for his unpredictable, ostentatious, and vivacious character.
Simmons started his weight reduction profession by opening a rec center called Slimmons in Beverly Hills, California, obliging the overweight, and he turned out to be broadly known through a presentation on TV and through the prominence of his customer items. He is regularly spoofed and was a continuous visitor in generally night TV and radio-television shows, for example, "the Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Howard Stern Show."

Simmons has kept on advancing wellbeing and exercise as the decades progressed long profession and later expanded his exercises to incorporate political activism –, for example, in 2008 he helped a bill commanding non-focused physical instruction in government-funded schools as a piece of the "No Child Left Behind Act".

The effective marketing technique for B2B technology marketing
B2B advertising that is written for everybody is read by nobody. The more customized your message, the more likely it is to be read by the people you want to read it. Targeted marketing writes for businesses, but understands that businesses have different decision makers who decide what to purchase. Targeted marketing writes different material for different levels of the company hierarchy. A senior engineer wants to know detailed technical information. The manager wants to know benefits. The purchasing department wants to understand the price. All of these concerns must be addressed through targeted marketing messages.

Just Salesmanship
by Claude C. Hopkins taken from Scientific Advertising
To properly understand advertising or to learn even its rudiments one must start with the right conception . Advertising is salesmanship. Its principles are the principles of salesmanship. Successes and failures in both lines are due to like causes. Thus every advertising question should be answered by the salesman's standards. Let us emphasize that point. The only purpose of advertising is to make sales. It is profitable or unprofitable according to its actual sales.
It is not for general effect. It is not to keep your name before the people. It is not primarily to aid your other salesmen. Treat it as a salesman. Force it to justify itself. Compare it with other salesmen. Figure its cost and result. Accept no excuses which good salesmen do not make. Then you will not go far wrong.

very well looked after and it's a wonderful place to visit.
Sadly, a bout of Distemper has been brought into the centre (probably via abandoned animals left outside the shelter) which has been devasting and fatal for many dogs as it broke out so quickly. They are on top of the outbreak now; some dogs currently are being held in quarantine. The rest look good, but the dog side of the centre is still in lockdown to be safe.
The centre encourages volunteers to come up and walk the dogs in the beautiful five finger mountain range,
where the centre is located, and this has brought joy to the dogs and many visitors, either living there or on holiday. We were not able to do this because of the lockdown, BUT we did visit the cat pens, full of beautiful cats and a special little kitten which I got to play with 😊
Sadly, because there are SO MANY stray cats and dogs in North Cyprus, (I have never seen so many) it is hard to re-home the animals, and once they are past their puppy or kitten stage, it's nigh on impossible. I so wanted to adopt a couple and bring them back to the UK, but I have no room for more animals at this time.
Could you donate?
Or could you sponsor a dog?
Check out their website here http://www.kartrnc.org/ (the 'about' page tells you all they have done since opening, and there's info on sponsorship and lots more)
If you can spare a few pounds, please go to their Go Fund Me page and donate. X

I really feel this a very worthwhile cause – thank you X

A. Hailey was born in England, served in the Royal Air Force from the start of World War II in 1939 until 1947, Soon he went to live in Canada. Most of his novels were written in the period between 1960s and 1990s. These are Flight into Danger, "Hotel," "Wheels," The Final Diagnosis. Hailey was best known for writing "Airport. Several of them were made into TV shows and films. "Airport" was adapted to the big screen in 1970 and helped launch the disaster movie genre. Airport became a blockbuster movie with stunning visual effects. His stories are thrilling and read well. He would spend about one year researching a subject, followed by reviewing his notes and, finally, writing the book. …show more content…
And while you're doing all this you'll send other people on courses to hear about the new things in medicine because you can't take time out to go yourself. And you'll quit investigation and research; and because you work so hard, you'll be tired at night, and you won't feel like reading textbooks. And then suddenly, one day, you'll find everything you knew is out of date. That's when it's too late to change."
Listen to an old man who's been through it all, who made the mistake of falling behind. Don't let it happen to you! Lock yourself in a closet if you have to! Get away from the phone and the files and paper, and read and learn and listen and keep up to date! Then they can never touch you, never say, 'He's finished, all washed up; he belongs to yesterday.' Because you'll know as much as they do—and more. Because you'll have experience to go with it . . ."
Q6 David Coleman described his vision of practitioners contribution to research and development in medicine in the following way.
In a way medicine is like a war. And, just as in a war, sometimes there's a spectacular advance. When that happens, people—doctors—rush to the new front. And they leave a lot of pockets of knowledge to be filled in behind."
Elizabeth said, "And that's the pathologist's job—to fill them?"
"It's the job of every branch of medicine. But sometimes in pathology there are more opportunities." Coleman thought a moment, then continued, "There's another thing

New York: The United Nations, who has taken a number of major decisions regarding Palestine in the past few weeks, has announced additional rights to Palestine. This decision that was passed by a majority in the meeting of the United Nations, awards Palestine with the status of a full member in the next year. The United States and Israel have heavily criticised the United Nations' decision. Saying that 'Palestine is not even an independent country and not a member of the United Nations,' the US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley lashed out at the United Nations' decision.
The G77 meeting will be held in 2019. Two days ago, a vote of 193 countries was taken to decide about who would preside the conference. 146 member countries accepted Palestine as the President for the G77 conference.
The countries voting in favour of Palestine, include Israeli allies like the United Kingdom, France, Germany as well as Russia and China. The United States, Israel and Australia vehemently opposed Palestine's candidature. 15 countries were absent during this voting. These include Canada, Austria, Czech Republic, Honduras, Poland, Latvia and Croatia while 29 countries did not cast their vote.
The United Nations has awarded more rights to Palestine in view of the conference next year. The United Nations announced that Palestine who will be presiding over the conference next year will be allowed to take decisions in the meetings of the United Nations as a full member. The United Nations justified the decision to award the presidentship of the G77 conference to Palestine. In 2012, the United Nations awarded the status of sovereign territory to Palestine, based on which it was decided to increase the rights of Palestine to preside over the meeting, said the United Nations.
But the United States and Israel have heavily criticised the decision of the United Nations. US Ambassador to the United Nations warned that this decision of the United Nations will hamper the process of peace talks between Palestine and Israel. Also, Palestine is not a member of the United Nations and is not even recognised as a country. This move by the United Nations is like turning a blind eye towards the Palestine-Israel peace talks. This will boost the belief of the Palestinian leaders that they can achieve more without the peace talks,' said Haley, lashing out at the United Nations.
Noa Furman, the Deputy Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations criticised that the United Nations has been weakened further with this decision and is losing its importance. Furman also accused that Palestine has been given more rights than a regular member of the United Nations. The Deputy Permanent Representative also warned that this can lead to Palestine becoming more aggressive. The United States and Israel have accused the United States of favouring Palestine against Israel even in the past. Israel has accused that the United Nations is supporting the Palestinian leaders who speak the language of annihilating Israel.

Despite the many advancements in technology, there are still a lot of industries that would not want to steer clear from paper records even if they have a lot of cons just like rehabilitation clinics. Keeping paper records is an expensive matter and one that takes up a lot of space most especially that there is a lot of work to be done from filing records, pulling them, copying them, faxing them, and then refiling them; the cycle just goes on. In addition, when disasters strike in an instant, you will no longer have anything to back them up.
Nevertheless, until this day, a lot of people cannot just get on doing something when they are not writing on anything. Now, how you will be able to not forget writing with the use of a certain system? Will you still be able to duplicate your insurance cards? What must you do then now if you will have something signed? It just seems hard to think about existing in a world where there is no more need for you to use some papers. These are just some of the many struggles that therapy documentation software faces. With the many software options out there, you should be careful in choosing one that best suits how you properly take care of your patients. If you want to be more productive with the kind of work that you are dealing with every day, then it is time that you think of getting therapy documentation software at https://www.raintreeinc.com/physical-therapy-emr/ that best fits you. If you will be working from one clinic to another, then a lot of things must be considered.
A lot of people are not used to changing the way they do things such as from focusing on papers to focusing on computers; so, you have to be wary as regards the best software for you. Now as you change from one location to another, always remember that your software will stay with you and will work with you. Here are other things that you have to keep in mind when you are looking for the best therapy documentation software. Check out http://www.ehow.com/health/alternative-medicine/physical-therapy/ to understand more about physical therapy.
First, you have to take into account the customer support services of the software company. Will their customer support services comprise of people who can speak fluent English and have some firsthand knowledge regarding what you are asking from them about their software? You must also take into account how their clients are taking the services that they offer. You must also determine if their customer support representatives can address your inquiries beyond the typical business hours and every single minute of the day even. In addition, it will be wise for you to get some names of the clinics that have tried purchasing the rehab documentation software that they are selling.

If only the Intronix LogicPort had Linux software this would be the easy choice.DS1054Z_screen_capture might be a solution for now. I'll try loading it on the laptop and see what it can do.Otherwise I'll have start looking for a way to make space for two machines or use a bigger system that can host VMs. I've got a hex core AMD deskside at my feet right now that's not really doing anything but the form factor and utility are poor compared to a single laptop on the bench.This is sounding like as much work to get set up as actually fixing the target hardware.
(It's probably what the python tool does, but without having to install anything [on a Mac anyway])
Quote from: sokoloff on March 06, 2018, 01:30:17 am(It's probably what the python tool does, but without having to install anything [on a Mac anyway])You don't need to install anything anywhere. The DS1054Z can be controlled just by opening a connection and sending ASCII commands.
Nah, just install a Linux distro (I like Ubuntu flavors) on the laptop and then use DSRemote. You get nearly full GUI control of the scope's functions, reasonably low latency for the live trace display, plus screenshots.

A tank might be a weighty military vehicle, but it's still a car. So it can get into accidents, just like civil vehicles do.
On Saturday evening, during the rehearsal of the 3 July parade, one tank knocked down a tree and a lamp post on its way to the city center.
Columns of military vehicles had taken up position and were practising rolling through the streets.

One tank was late and was speeding to catch up with the rest of the column.
At some point it skidded on the wet asphalt, jerked and hit down a lamp post.
Social media pictures show the result of the "meeting":
Believe it or not, the tank itself will need some serious repairs to put it back in shape.

Mental health issues often cause individuals to feel trapped. Even if you wish for change and try your hardest to change, you may feel stuck in a difficult cycle. Professional help is an effective way to sort through the complex emotions and neurological processes that underlie mental health issues.
Eating disorders such as Anorexia are no different. However, these disorders often lead to behaviours that are very damaging to the mind and body of the person who suffers from them. That's why Peaceful Mind Psychology is devoted to providing a safe space for Anorexia treatment in the Melbourne area.
It is important for anyone who is struggling with Anorexia to understand that they are not alone. Many people suffer from an eating disorder or eating difficulty at some stage of their lives. And, everyone knows at least one person who has suffered from Anorexia. Unfortunately, more and more people suffer from Anorexia each year.
However, Anorexia can make you feel alone. The illness itself involves secrecy and often results in social isolation. These feelings can create feelings of shame and guilt. Rest assure, you do not have to continue feeling alone. Professional help with a psychologist can provide you with comfort and relief, as you face the journey of recovery together.
It's important to understand the early warning signs for Anorexia, especially if you have become concerned for a loved one. Most eating disorders begin in the mind, so the very first signs are something only the individual will recognise. These include:
If you experience these types of thoughts focused on food or appearance, you may like to seek professional help. While these thoughts alone may not amount to a diagnosis of Anorexia, they can be an early warning sign. Once you or a loved one acts on these thoughts, you may notice the following signs of Anorexia:
It is extremely important to seek help once you begin displaying behavioural and physical signs of anorexia. Psychology research shows that malnourishment can affect mental functioning and actually worsen body image and food obsession. A professional therapist can help you break this cycle by using therapies designed and researched to effectively treat Anorexia.
Anorexia can make you feel very isolated from others, but you are not alone. Beginning treatment is as simple as making a phone call and setting your first appointment. There is no need for a referral for you to seek treatment from our psychologists.
Eating disorders are our special interest at Peaceful Mind Psychology, and we've helped many people who struggle with Anorexia. We believe in recovery and work hard to help you achieve your goals. Make an appointment today with one of our psychologists to start the journey of recovery.
It can be difficult to Find a Psychologist that is right for you. However, our Melbourne Psychology Clinic makes it easy for you: We personally match you with with one of our lovely and professional Melbourne Psychologists based on your needs and personality. We also offer psychologists who are professionally trained in Clinical Psychology and Child and Adolescents.

What transpired over 60 minutes in the Wells Fargo Center Thursday night was not the death of the 2016-17 New York Islanders season.
It's just on life support.
"S—," was the word interim coach Doug Weight selected in order to describe his team's opening 20 minutes in their embarrassing 6-3 loss. The Flyers scored five first period goals in the rout.
"I don't know a team that could come back from 5-0," Weight continued. "Piss poor first period."
As of this writing, the Islanders enter the final nine games of the regular season six points out of the second and final Eastern Conference wild card berth.
In order to reach the playoffs for the third straight season and the fourth in the last five years, it appears likely the Islanders will have to win all five of their remaining games and hope that the teams in front of them — Boston, the current second Eastern Conference wild card holder, ninth seed Tampa Bay and 10th seeded Carolina — lose.
"It's going to be difficult," Cal Clutterbuck said. "You win all your games then you just sit around and watch. It's all you can do."
Therein lies the rub.
Prior to Friday night's home date against the Devils, the Islanders had lost nine of their 15 games in March (6-7-2), including three straight. The Islanders have been outscored by an aggregate 52-42. Even though the Islanders are scoring 2.8 goals per game, they're allowing 3.46.
"We're just not working smart. We're making dumb plays and that can't happen and they're ending up in the back of our net," Casey Cizikas said. "There's really no words that can describe this feeling. It sucks. We just have to move forward and do whatever we can to win games. It's this time of year. We have to figure it out. We have to come out, we have to play and we have to play 60 minutes. That's the bottom line and if we don't do that we're not a good team.
"That's what has been killing us so we just have to make sure that we try to do everything possible to win these last games."
Cizikas' words essentially echoed those of Weight following the Islanders' 3-2 overtime loss to the playoff-bound Blue Jackets on March 18. Following that game, Weight criticized his team for listless play in the first two periods.
It was a theme he repeated in the bowels of the Wells Fargo Center after what could be accurately described as one of the worst periods of the season.
"It's absolutely floating, not engaged with anything. Just floating through the D-zone. Floating through the neutral zone," Weight said before being asked if he was concerned about his team's approach in the season's most vital games.
"Yeah," Weight said. "Yeah, I am."

Community Programs
Our first community-based program was AMIGO, which was later adopted by the county to become Linkages to Learning, which still operates in County schools today.
In 2003, we began (and are still the only clinic in Montgomery County) to offer in-home therapy at no-cost to underserved women and children with perinatal depression via our Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies program.
In 2005 we placed our therapists in local senior centers to help elderly residents to find joy in aging – this is our Positive Aging program. We remain the only mental health clinic in the county to offer this service.
In 2006, we were the first mental health practice to integrate mental health care with primary care. Today, our therapists work onsite at Mobile Medical Care clinics throughout Montgomery County to help serve patients' somatic and behavioral health needs.

I am getting ready to make the move from my S1 IS (although I plan to keep it!) to a digital slr for the quicker / more accurate auto focus, better pic quality, lense flexibility, etc.
I cannot spring for a 20D - so I was really looking into the dig Rebel. I stumbled across the Olympus Evolt 300 - at 8mp, smaller innovative form factor and especially price, it seems like a real contender for the Rebel! I looked at both at Best Buy and the Oly even feels way more substantial. I understand that the Olympus does not have the multitude of lense choices with it's relatively new 4/3 format - but aside from the included kit lense - I probably will only want to get a 75-300 - that is readily available and reasonably priced.
I am awaiting the arrival of the Rebel 2 (March1???) to see the price point and features before I make up my mind...
Anyone have any comments or know anyone with the Evolt 300?

Hey Geeeyejo, how's it goin'?! :bye:
So you're thinking of moving up to a DSLR, eh! I may make the same move also, but it will be a year or two before I get serious about the idea.
I'm guessing that you may not get much of a response to your questions here, as this forum is for 'consumer digicams' only.
If you are looking for a lot of knowledgeable DSLR feed-back, you may want to consider posting your questions on the 'Digital SLR Cameras' section of Steve's Forums. There are lots of good folks there that I'm sure will help you out.
Good Hunting with your DSLR search!

Thanks Dean! I guess the sticky at the top "Post all DSLR in .." should have been a giveaway! Anyway, I will post there. I am kind of torn - I like my S1 and it is alot of cash to make the move. I probably will wait until the Spring anyway and see if I still have the DSLR fever!

Usually, you would purchase the DSLR based on the lens system you want to use. Decide on the lens then go for hte camera that fits the lens.

This blue resin pocket-sized fountain pen is the Esterbrook JR, short for "J Reborn". A modern take on a vintage classic. It fills via standard international cartridge/converter (included) and has a gold-plated JoWo #5 stainless steel nib.
From Esterbrook:
The "J" was Esterbrook's sleek and suave, classic pocket pen that appealed to the practicality of the times. It was a perfect pen for both men and women, and we think it still is today.
Our revival of this 1940's and 50's pen has all of the hallmarks of its predecessor, with a few new bells and whistles.
The new "JR" is stylish and refined without being too fancy. It's meant to match your style, as well as it graces your hand. With a refined design, that isn't fussy, it is compact in size, so you can always have one on hand in your jeans or shirt pocket, purse, or briefcase. It can be with you on the go, wherever you go.
Mirroring the original "J"'s production, our new version is offered in three colors: Tuxedo Charcoal, Carmine Red and Capri Blue. Tuxedo and Carmine shine bright in Silver trim and Capri gleams in Gold.
And since we hope you'll hold onto it forever, both the German JoWo nib and the top of the pen have been engraved with the Esterbrook Eternity symbol.
It's our new take on the small, but mighty pocket pen. Esterbrook endures.

In this quarter's issue of Frontline, we highlight the efforts of HopeWorks of Howard County and the services they provide for survivors of sexual assault.
1. Tell us about HopeWorks and the issues that your organization tackles. HopeWorks was formed in 1976 to meet the needs of women who had experienced abuse in Howard County. In order to address these needs, a helpline was established to provide support to survivors of abuse. Over time, HopeWorks has evolved into an organization that addresses many forms of violence, including sexual and domestic violence. The services we provide to survivors of sexual assault and abuse include a 24-hour helpline, counseling, advocacy, legal assistance, and residential services.
2. What sexual assault prevention work does your organization do? One of the main components of our prevention work here at HopeWorks is providing educational workshops in the community. Through these free workshops, we strive to spread awareness of the issue of sexual assault and provide information on various topics, including how to recognize and prevent sexual violence, bystander intervention, and building healthy relationships. HopeWorks offers a wide variety of workshops for youth and adults, as well as training opportunities for professionals.
3. What are some of the services that HopeWorks provides? HopeWorks offers support and assistance to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence by providing a 24-hour helpline service, where trained crisis intervention specialists are available to assist survivors who are in crisis, seeking counseling, or are in need of a place to stay. We also offer residential services to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, including emergency shelter and transitional housing options. Hospital accompaniment is an additional important component of the work we do to support survivors of sexual assault. We have trained advocates available to accompany survivors at the hospital and provide support during Sexual Assault Forensic Exams (SAFEs). The advocates who provide hospital accompaniment are also equipped with knowledge about available resources for sexual assault survivors. Another crucial component of our work at HopeWorks is counseling services. We provide many options for counseling, including crisis and short-term counseling for survivors, counseling for children, and group therapy sessions. Community outreach is another part of what we do here at HopeWorks. Our outreach efforts include attending community events, such as health fairs and community festivals, in order to spread the word about the services HopeWorks has to offer. We are extremely passionate about our outreach and educational efforts and creating positive change in our community when it comes to preventing sexual violence.

The main auditorium has a seating capacity of 2,443 and is home to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Ground was broken November 10, 1978. Acoustical design was by Bolt, Beranek and Newman and uses a series of convex curves to avoid flat surfaces or ninety-degree angles inside the hall.The auditorium is oval, its cylindrical wall extends the entire height of the building with the roof sloping down over the stage area. The exterior surface of the cylinder is covered in brown brick and rises through the lobby to be clearly discernible on the exterior of the building. Backstage areas are housed in a concentric oval which projects from the rear of the building while the lobby and patron areas are housed under a sloping metal roof which extends from the building's front. The exterior lobby walls feature large expanses of glass to open the building to the plaza which surrounds it.

Timbertech decking, packed with benefits right from installation
Want to know more?Contact us
With a strong entertaining and family focus, these homeowners made an excellent decking choice with Terrain's splinter-free, polymer-capped finish.
Measuring in at 400m2, this magnificent home is located in Ashburton's new Turton Green subdivision and provides outdoor living at its best with a mighty 110m2 of decking in the popular Silver Maple colour.
With a strong entertaining and family focus, the homeowners made an excellent decking choice with Terrain's polymer-capped finish. TimberTech decking is not only splinter free, but scratch and stain resistant too, and because there's no need to stain and it, there's bound to be more free time to actually enjoy using it!
Builders love installing TimberTech composite decking…
For starters, boards are manufactured straight and defect-free with a hardy, splinter-free surface that makes matching them up a breeze. There are no specialised tools required for cutting TimberTech boards and every board has a directional notch running down the side so the finished deck surface has a consistent texture.
Niagara supplies a Deckmate measuring tool so that each boards is laid the perfect distance apart.
By saving installation time, homeowners can save money. Handling time can be further decreased with Terrain's longer-length six metre boards (available in Silver Maple and Brown Oak colours.) Long lengths mean fewer joins for a great surface finish, which is further enhanced with the use of TimberTech's hidden fastening method. No screws are visible (or can catch dirt) when TimberTech's hidden fasteners are slotted into the side grooves on each board and screwed directly to the joists – out of sight below the deck's surface.
These Ashburton homeowners made two more smart choices: To complete the deck areas using TimberTech's matching fascia (available in two heights in all four colours of the Terrain range), and to inset stylish lighting which added a warm ambience to their design.

How Many Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group (ASX:AHF) Shares Did Insiders Buy, In The Last Year?
It is not uncommon to see companies perform well in the years after insiders buy shares. The flip side of that is that there are more than a few examples of insiders dumping stock prior to a period of weak performance. So shareholders might well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group (ASX:AHF).
What Is Insider Buying?
It's quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, such insiders must disclose their trading activities, and not trade on inside information.
We don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. As Peter Lynch said, 'insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise'.
See our latest analysis for Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group
Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Independent Chairman of the Group Martin Bryant for AU$100k worth of shares, at about AU$0.10 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.063). Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Martin Bryant.
You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!
There are always plenty of stocks that insiders are buying. So if that suits your style you could check each stock one by one or you could take a look at this free list of companies. (Hint: insiders have been buying them).
Does Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Boast High Insider Ownership?
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Our data indicates that Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group insiders own about AU$2.9m worth of shares (which is 12% of the company). We do note, however, it is possible insiders have an indirect interest through a private company or other corporate structure. We do generally prefer see higher levels of insider ownership.
What Might The Insider Transactions At Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Tell Us?
The fact that there have been no Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group insider transactions recently certainly doesn't bother us. However, our analysis of transactions over the last year is heartening. The transactions are fine but it'd be more encouraging if Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group insiders bought more shares in the company. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. To help with this, we've discovered 2 warning signs (1 can't be ignored!) that you ought to be aware of before buying any shares in Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group.
Of course Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.
For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body. We currently account for open market transactions and private dispositions, but not derivative transactions.

Iranian girls, who are forced to marry Afghan men by their families, face several problems including denial of birth certificates to their children, and even eviction from their home country. The marriages have several adverse social and security consequences, especially for children as they face an identity crisis.
"Lack of awareness or late realization about the negative consequences of such marriages for women and their children is one of the reasons why such marriages occur in the first place," said Ali Akbar Mahzoun, director of the Office of Statistics and Population at Iran's National Organization for Civil Registration.
Unfortunately, some families due to their poverty and poor economic status force their daughters to marry Afghan men in exchange for "petty monetary gains." Afghan men become custodians of the girls after marriage and "may not behave appropriately with them." Many of the men force their wives to migrate to Afghanistan after marriage and the women are forced there to live in poverty and unfavorable conditions. Also as the women don't have any legal documents, they can't defend their rights. In addition, according to Afghan laws a foreign woman who is married to an Afghan man becomes a citizen of that country, and therefore has to abide by the laws of Afghanistan.
Social Problems
On the other hand, children who are born from these marriages also face many social problems. Without Iranian birth certificate, their rights to free education in Iranian schools and employment after fifteen years of the age, right to receive subsidy and social welfare benefits like insurance are all denied. They also do not have any right to inherit property.
According to Article 51 of the Family Protection Law, any foreigner who marries an Iranian women without the permission of the Iranian government, will be sentenced to 2-5 years in prison and imposed a cash penalty, said Farajollah Arefi, deputy head of the Majlis Social Committee.
During the last two decades, because of the war in Afghanistan, millions of Afghans fled to Iran, most of them illegally, and sought employment in various parts of the country. At one time Iran was host to 3 million Afghan refugees. Their number has now dwindled to one million after they were repatriated to their country following the end of the Taliban government and the commencement of civil rule.
"However, Afghans who saw Iran's favorable conditions to live and work took advantage of the economic plight of some Iranian families to establish their status and gain the right to stay in the country, by marrying Iranian girls," Tabnak News reported.
Covert Marriages
At present, such covert, illegal marriages still occur in different parts of the country and the children born out of these marriages suffer identity crisis as don't know whether they are Iranian or Afghan."
The marriages mostly occur in the country's border cities including Sistan and Baluchestan and Khorasan, and also in southern parts of Kerman and Tehran.
Unofficial statistics indicate marriages of 20,000 Mashhadi girls with foreign nationals, resulting in the birth of 22,000 children without "clearly defined identity."
"We should raise awareness about the negative social and security impact of Iranian girls' marriages with illegal Afghan refugees through the mass media," Arefi stressed.
There are several instances where the men have returned to Afghanistan leaving behind their Iranian spouse and children without birth certificates. All these problems have arisen from marriage to Afghan refugees.
To prevent such consequences, Fahimeh Farahmandpour, an advisor to the interior minister on women and family affairs announced the formation of a working group in the near future to address the concerns.

- Cranborne Audio 500ADAT Expander, Summing Mixer and 8-Slot 500-Series Rack
The Cranborne Audio 500ADAT is the best way to expand your ADAT equipped audio interface and enjoy the sonic possibilities of the 500 series format as your very own customisable analogue front-end for recording.
500ADAT combines cutting-edge digital performance with tried-and-tested ADAT. Utilising high-end converters with 121dB (unweighted) signal-to-noise ratio and ultra-low jitter (<0.5 picoseconds) internal clocking ensures that every subtle nuance of your analogue signal is captured perfectly and sent via ADAT to an interface of your choice.
500ADAT combines a high-current 8-slot 500 series chassis with digital conversion and ADAT - a powerful and accessible way to get your favourite analogue 500 series preamps, compressors, and EQs into your tracking and mixing digital workflow.
Transform your ADAT-equipped audio interface into an analogue powerhouse by adding up to 8 channels of expansion at up to 96kHz or 4 channels of expansion at 192kHz - whilst utilising the 500 series standard.
Move away from clunky software mixers and get your hands back onto the mix by using 500ADAT's two aux busses to create pristine-sounding analogue artist mixes that can be blended with DAW playback, and sent to your musicians with zero-latency.
Give your mix the final bit of analogue character and send instrument groups and stems back-through your 500 series modules and into the discrete analogue summing mixer to be sent back into your DAW.
To create a "studio in a box" where your favourite 500 series modules could shine on your digital recordings, it was critical to ensure our digital conversion and analogue processing is best-in-class. We squeezed every possible .1dB of performance out of 500ADAT to achieve digital and analogue performance that ensures that the only thing colouring your recordings are mic placements and mix decisions.
The implementation of our ADCs result in 121dB (unweighted) signal-to-noise ratio and - 112dB THD+N whilst our DACs achieve 127dB (unweighted) signal-to-noise and -115dB THD+N. Our analogue design stages operate at between 0.0002-0.0004% THD+N to ensure that the only factors influencing the converters' dynamic range are the converters themselves and not the supporting analogue circuity.
A/D and D/A numbers don't tell the whole story. Converters are only as good as the clocks that are governing them. Our internal digital clock reaches atomic-clock level accuracy, for master reference-quality with < 0.5 picoseconds of jitter. Our designs feature isolated analogue and digital ground planes and power rails so that our digital elements receive accurate clocks and our analogue signals are noise- and distortion-free.
Utilising the 500 Series standard as a your own front-end puts you back in control of exactly how audio is received and processed before being sent to the DAW. Mix and match to find the best preamp combinations during recording, and then swap them out with EQ's and comps when it's time to mix.
Each 500 series slot has 3 source select options; Analogue, CAST, and ADAT. Selecting ADAT allows the 500 series module to pickup audio incoming via the ADAT stream, process it in analogue, and then send it back into the ADAT outputs for recording. There's also a Chain switch that allows you to create custom channel strips of your favourite modules.
An abundance of Inputs and outputs allows 500ADAT to integrate with a number of hardware components around your studio. Combine 500ADAT's analogue performance with your own converters or patch outboard gear into each 500 series slot using dedicated TRS insert jacks. Every mix bus has a dedicated output too.
CAST stands for Cat5 Analogue Snake Transport and enables cost-effective and organised cable management around your studio by repurposing off-the-shelf shielded Cat5 Networking cables to transport 4 channels of balanced analogue audio (mic, Line, or Instrument level) over a single cable.
500ADAT has 4 CAST RRTT ports that allow you to connect any of our breakout boxes (to be announced soon) and place analogue I/O where you need it - whether it's in the live room, vocal booth, or the bedroom next door.
Our clever impedance matching means that the signal quality can exceed that of a mic cable for a fraction of the price and over a distance of up to 100m. CAST is 100% analogue and requires ZERO setup. Plug one end of the cable in one box, and the other end into 500ADAT and it just works. No setup. No latency. No fuss. And it sounds great.
500ADAT is the perfect companion for your existing audio interface. With an abundance of popular interfaces offering ADAT connectivity, any existing studio can use 500ADAT to integrate 500 series connectivity into their recording and mixing chain utilising their unused ADAT ports. But If you demand the same high-quality in your audio interface as you have become accustomed to with 500ADAT; our 500R8 is the perfect choice - and it features even deeper integration than you could achieve elsewhere.
Connect 500ADAT and 500R8 via CAST and talkback and artist monitoring is linked between the two to allow musicians connected to 500ADAT to hear talkback and input sources from 500R8 and vice versa.
