They call themselves Crystal Fractal Comics. They are based in Canada. I'm about to contribute to the trade imbalance.
Crystal Fractal has agreed to the digital publication of Red Riding Hood.
They get first digital publication, I keep the rest. Which means, if you're like me and prefer actual books, I can still make those or some other publisher can if the series gets big enough (dare to dream!). In fact, we are coordinating now on an ad or two I can put in the actual RRH floppies in time for DanCon.
I've been on pins and needles for the last two months, and now I can finally have that self-congratulatory hoagie. For now. There are still a lot more vistas for me to conquer, but I can start working on that after this weekend.
As longtime friends and reader know, I have a victory song. I play it when things don't just go right, but go awesome. That song is "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry. I am going to be singing it tonight. And I invite anyone, wherever you are, to join me, if only for a verse and a chorus, in celebration.

We're taking a quick look at what you need to do to evolve Linoon into Obstagoon in Pokemon Sword and Shield! This is another one of these weirder evolutions that require specific circumstances to be able to evolve them into their final form! The Zigzagoon family has a great looking Galarian Form, which makes it a popular Pokemon. You can also get a pretty sweet candy cane looking version if you hunt for the shiny version!
Where-to Find Zigzagoon or LinooneYou'll be hard pressed not to find yourself tripping over a Zigzagoon frolicking through the grasses in the Overworld in various areas of Galar. If you're looking for exact locations, they can be found in: Route 2, Route 3, Bridge Field, Giant's Cap, Stony Wilderness, and Max Raid Battles in Bridge Field, Dusty Bowl, Giant's Mirror, Motostoke Riverbank, Stony Wilderness, and West Lake Axewell. If you find one, you'll nee to bring it to level 20 to evolve it into Linoone.
If you want to just go straight to Linoone and skip the Zigzagoon phase then that is also an option! You'll find these as a strong spawn in the Wild Area, or you can go directly to Giant's Cap. They also appear as Max Raid Battles in Bridge Field, Dusty Bowl, Giant's Mirror, Motostoke Riverbank, Stony Wilderness, West Lake Axewell.

Malietoa Tanumafili II, Samoan head of state (born Jan. 4, 1912—died May 11, 2007, Apia, Samoa), was the world's oldest reigning monarch and the third longest serving (after King Bhumibol Adulyade of Thailand and the U.K.'s Queen Elizabeth II). He studied in New Zealand at St. Stephen's College and Wesley College and succeeded to the chiefly title Malietoa after his father, Malietoa Tanumafili I, died in 1939. He was appointed (1940) an adviser to the New Zealand colonial administration, represented Samoan interests at the UN in 1958, and played a large role in the independence negotiations with New Zealand. Malietoa became joint head of state (O le Ao o le Malo), with Tupua Tamasese Meaole, in 1962 when Western Samoa (renamed Samoa in 1997) achieved independence, and he presided as lone head of state for life after Tupua died in 1963. Samoa's constitution, however, determined that Malietoa's successor would be chosen by the elected legislature and appointed to a five-year term.

No somos los únicos, pero somos los mejores, realizamos tours en la reserva de tambopata, lago sandoval, collpa de guacamayos, vive la aventura con nosotros...
Peru Nature Tambopata 3 days: Madre de Dios, Peru is a large department (or state) in the wild, southeastern part of the country. Its name means "Mother of God" and is a common Spanish synonym for "the Virgin Mary". The rather generic name given to the Madre de Dios department in Peru Nature Tambopata is a reflection of how little was known about the region during the Spanish colonial era. Whereas some departments were assigned the same name used by the Incans, neither Incan people nor Spanish colonists settled in the southeastern Amazonian lowlands so the department was simply named in honor of one of the most revered figures in Roman Catholicism (the principle religion of the Spanish colonists).
Peru Nature Tambopata Reserve in a sense, this name befit a wild, untamed wilderness of dense rainforests, trackless swamps, and meandering rivers flanked by unforgiving jungle as it was believed that outsiders only survived in such a place by the grace of God. In modern times, the Madre de Dios department has become much more accessible while still retaining its wild character with reserve tambopata and sandoval lake lodge.
Tambopata huge tracts of unbroken rainforest are protected in national parks, reserves, and by several Peruvian rainforest lodges. The lack of roads and low population also keeps many parts of Madre de Dios intact and devoid of development. Nevertheless, a recently constructed road that connects routes to the Pacific with routes to the Atlantic Ocean has brought more colonists to the region along with associated deforestation, hunting, and mining activities that could pose a threat to the rainforests of Madre de Dios, Peru Nature Tambopata
Travel Itinerary Tambopata Reserve and Sandoval Lake
Torus Day 1:
Flight to Puerto Maldonado, and journey to the lodge. Following your morning flight to Puerto Maldonado from Lima or Cusco, you will be met at the airport by your naturalist guide and transferred to a dugout canoe for the trip up the Tambopata River to the lodge. On the journey the vegetation changes from colonized deforested areas to virgin rain forest. A box-lunch is provided on board. On arrival you'll have a welcome drink and meet the rest of the staff. In the late afternoon you set off for an introductory walk into the "terra firme" forest behind the lodge (Trail 2), dominated by giant Brazil-nut and Dipteryx trees. Frequently seen mammals on this trail are Saddle-back Tamarinds, Brown Capuchins, Agoutis, Pacas, Blue-Morpho butterflies, Trogons, Toucans and many other species of birds. After dinner a night walk to find nocturnal animals or insects by the eye-shine a specialization for increasing the light and see better, about 50% of the animals are nocturnal in the rainforest. (L, D)
Tours Day 2:
Hike to Lake Condenado. After an early breakfast you and your nature guide will board the motorized canoe once again for the short journey to the trail head to begin a morning's exploration by foot and paddle canoe of the lake system of Condenado, rich in bird and aquatic life. A family of Giant Otters lives in the vicinity of the lake and are often observed. Birds abound especially Rufescent Tiger-herons, Great Egrets, Wattled Jacanas, Hoatzin, the noisy Donacobius and many others. Remember to bring your hat and sun cream for there is no shade out on the water. You will return to the lodge in time for lunch. The afternoon is for exploring the forest close to the lodge (with or without your guide), relaxing and bathing in the Gallucunca, a cool clear stream beside the lodge or visit our tree platforms, going up with ropes and harnesses for a bird's eye view of the forest and for close-ups of arboreal orchids and the many other species of plants and animals that are never seen near the ground (extra cost). After dark you will go searching for caiman (alligators) and other nocturnal animals by motorized canoe along the Tambopata River. (B, L, D)
Tours Day 3:
Departure. Time to return to the city of Puerto Maldonado is scheduled according to flight time of the group. In the mornings you can see the wildlife that is particularly active at this time, are frequently heard howler monkeys or stop. Your guide will give support to his arrival in Puerto Maldonado and will relocate to the airport and assist you on your flight.
Any number of extra days at the lodge, in addition to the above mentioned program, is possible. These can be guided or unguided according to your preference and interests. During these days you can either, explore the trail system in more depth, going further afield along trails not visited before; repeat the lake visits accompanying other groups, giving you more time to wonder/paddle in your favorite areas; visit our tree platforms, going up with ropes and harnesses for a bird's eye view of the forest and for close-ups of arboreal orchids and the many other species of plants and animals that are never seen near the ground or at dawn when the main activity of the forest begin with a sun rise. (Extra cost); Full board is included during each of these days..

Installing and managing styles
After you choose a style and you are ready to install it, unpack it on your PC and upload the directory with the style to your board's server. Make sure that the directory you upload to the server's
styles contains the
theme and
imageset directories. The only exception is when a style has its template, theme or imageset based on another one, you will however be informed of that when you download the style. Having the dependent style component installed is required to install such a style.
Since you have uploaded all the necessary files, you can continue to install your style. Go to the Styles tab in the ACP. You should see a table containing several items - the preinstalled prosilver style, subsilver2, and any of your uploaded styles. The list is divided into two parts, the first one contains styles that are installed on the board and the second one contains styles that were uploaded, but not installed. If you want to install your downloaded style, click the Install link next to its title.
After you click Install, you will be asked about two options:
Active: If set to No, the style will not be available for users and only the admin will be able to preview it through the ACP.
Make default style: This will set the style as the default one for the board, making it the style that new users and guests see. For more about setting the default style, read Section 188.8.131.52, "Board Settings".
When you are finished, just click Submit.
At this moment, you should know how to install a new style. However, there are some links and features on the Styles overview page that we have missed. They are:
Details: This link will take you to the details of style, where you can change its name, author, the style components it uses and determine if the style is active or not.
Activate/Deactivate: Pretty clear without an explanation, this link allows you to switch the style on and off very quickly and easily.
Export: This will offer the style for download with any of its components. You will be able to choose between downloading the file to your PC or storing in in the store folder on your server. This feature is useful when you want to move your board and want to have the whole style packed up so you can use it in another place.
Delete: If you or your users do not like the style anymore, use this link. When you delete a style, you will be requested to choose another style which will be set for users using the deleted one. Choose that style in Replace style with and click Delete to complete the process. If you delete a style, no files will be touched, the style will appear in the Uninstalled styles section.
Preview: This is a very useful and powerful feature for administrators. If you click this link, you will be taken to the board and the style you have selected will be applied - this is great when you want to see if the style looks good on your board and you want to make sure you should activate it. This feature can be used even with deactivated styles. The style ID is passed through the URL, so you can browse through the board and see any page you need.

Warner hits back, says flat pitches should be blamed for Test run glut
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Melbourne, July 8 (ANI): Defending the use of modern-day cricket bats in the Test format, Australia vice-captain David Warner has pointed out that flat pitches are more to be blamed for the perceived imbalance between bat and ball rather than thick and lightweight bats. Warner's comments came in the wake of former skipper Ricky Ponting's call to regulate the size and weight of bats in order to restore balance in the sport, which is increasingly becoming a batsman-dominated game. According to present cricket rules, only length and width of bats are limited and not the depth or weight. This has paved way for the development of bats made from lighter materials but with thick edges such as one being used by big-hitting batsman Warner. Refusing to blame bigger bats for the prolific run scoring in the Test arena, Warner observed that a lot of runs are being scored because batsmen are performing well. "The wickets are pretty much dictating the Test arena at the moment and a lot of batters are scoring. A lot of runs have been scored in the last 12-18 months but you can't specifically say it's because of the big bats, because everyone around the county and the world is scoring a lot of runs," the 29-year-old was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. Warner also applauded the makers for using the technology well and coming up with the lighter and larger bats. Ponting, who accumulated 13,378 runs at a staggering average of 51.85 in his 168 Tests, had raised the debate at a recent Australian Cricket Society function. He, however, said that he didn't have any issues with such bats in the shorter forms of the game as it "survives on boundaries - fours and sixes". Ponting had also said that he would take up the matter in next week's meeting of the MCC's World Cricket Committee at Lord's. Welcoming the contradictory opinions, Warner said that the lighter bats have its own pros and cons while adding that he is also capable of using a much heavier bat. "But we're getting bigger and stronger as well, we're capable of using those bats that are a bit heavy. From my point of view in Tests I use a smaller bat, unless I'm in the subcontinent when I use a heavier bat. My heavy bats might be a lot larger than other players' bats, but it's still the same cleft of wood," he added. (ANI)

We simplify the superficial degree of divergence to \begin{equation} \begin{split} D =&\; dL – 2I \\ =&\; d – \frac{d-2}{2}E + V(d-4) \\ =&\; \begin{cases} 4-E & \text{in 4d} \\ 2-2V & \text{in 2d}. \end{cases} \end{split} \end{equation} A superficial divergence (by power counting) does not necessarily translate into an actual divergence, for example the tree level interaction (E=4, V=1) has superficial degree of divergence $D=0$. But, since there is no loop integral, it obviously does not diverge logarithmically. Neither does a superficial convergence $D<0$ guarantee convergence, for example attach a tadpole to any convergent diagram. The tadpole integral remains divergent. But in that case the divergence just comes from a sub-diagram, it is not inherently due to the larger diagram. This suggests that we should only look at diagrams without superficially divergent sub-diagrams; If there is a divergent sub-diagram then you really only have to worry about that sub-diagram. This suggests the following:
Theorem:[Dyson-Weinberg convergence theorem] A superficially convergent diagram such that all of its sub-diagrams are also superficially convergent is actually convergent.
The theorem might seem obvious but is actually rather tricky due to the issue of overlapping divergences. We will explain what this in a second, but first let us classify the primitively divergent diagrams in $\phi^4$-theory. That is, look for the divergent diagrams that do not have a divergent sub-diagram. These are the real troublemakers, and we really only have to deal with their divergences.
In the two-dimensional $\phi^4$-theory there is only a single
primitively divergent diagram, namely the tadpole. It has
superficial degree of divergence $D=0$.
In the four-dimensional $\phi^4$-theory there are two primitive
divergences at $O(\lambda)$, namely the tadpole $D=2$ and the
"fish", the only (up to permutations of the external vertices)
connected one-loop diagram contributing to the 4-point
function. There are further primitive divergences at all higher
powers of $\lambda$, but only with two or four external legs.
In the four-dimensional $\phi^k$-theory with $k\geq 5$ there are
primitive divergences with any number of external legs. This is what
makes the theory non-renormalizable, as we will see.
Overlapping Divergences
There is one subtlety when dealing with potentially divergent loop integrals: Sometimes you can't split the integrals into an outer integral times an inner integral and analyze the convergence separately. This happens when an internal line is part of two separate loops, giving rise to a propagator $\frac{1}{(\ell+p)^2+m^2}$ that depends on both the $\ell$ and $p$-loop momentum. More properly, these should be called overlapping integrals.
The simplest overlapping loop diagram would be in $\phi^3$-theory. So, just for this section, let us consider tri-valent interaction vertices and the diagram leading to the loop integral \begin{equation} \begin{split} I =&\; \int d^4p \; d^4\ell \; \frac{1}{p^2+m^2-i\epsilon} \frac{1}{\ell^2+m^2-i\epsilon} \\ &\; \qquad \times \frac{1}{(p+\ell)^2+m^2-i\epsilon} \frac{1}{(p-k_1)^2+m^2-i\epsilon} \frac{1}{(\ell-k_2)^2+m^2-i\epsilon} \end{split} \end{equation} where we left out constants and the external propagators, anything that does not depend on the loop momenta. We now
Perform Wick rotation: drop the $-i\epsilon$.
Set $m^2=0$ and $k_1=0=k_2$ since the UV divergence is at $k^2
\gg m^2, k_1^2, k_2^2$.
Remove a region of small momenta by hand to avoid the IR
Hence the asymptotic behavior of the loop integral is that of \begin{equation} I \sim \int \frac{d^4p \; d^4\ell}{p^4 (p+\ell)^2 \ell^4}. \end{equation} This is an example of an overlapping divergence: by power counting, the diagram superficial degree of divergence $D=2\times 4-5\times 2 =-2$ and no divergent sub-diagram, so we expect convergence. But the actual integral is not so obviously convergent, for example there is a region where $p+\ell$ is constant. In that region, just the $p$-integral seems to have superficial degree of divergence $D=0$, which would indicate a logarithmic divergence. This is actually not true, the whole integral still converges.
To show that the integral does converge, we have to split up the domain according to which momentum factor is the smallest. For example, consider the region where $\ell^2$ is the smallest, \begin{equation} U_p = \big\{ p \big| p^2 \geq \ell^2,~ (p+\ell)^2 \geq \ell^2 \big\}, \end{equation} and combine it with the necessary IR cutoff \begin{equation} U_\ell = \big\{ \ell \big| \ell^2 \geq 1 \big\}. \end{equation} Splitting the 4-momentum $\ell = \bar\ell e_\ell$ into its absolute value $\bar\ell\in\mathbb{R}$ and unit 4-vector $e_\ell$, the loop integral becomes \begin{equation} I \sim \int_{U_p} \int_{U_\ell} \frac{d^4p \; d^4\ell}{p^4 (p+\ell)^2 \ell^4} = \int_0^\infty d\bar\ell \bar\ell^3 \frac{1}{\bar\ell^6} \int_{S^3} de_\ell \int_{U_{p'}} \frac{d^4 p'}{(p')^4 (p'+e_\ell)^2} \end{equation} where we rescaled $p' = p \bar\ell$ and integrate over the rescaled region \begin{equation} U_{p'} = \big\{ p' \big| (p')^2 \geq 1,~ (p'+\ell)^2 \geq 1 \big\}. \end{equation} The $\bar\ell$-integration is, indeed, of superficial degree of divergence $D=-2$. The overlapping diagram does converge as expected by power counting, the potential overlapping divergence does not cause an actual divergence.

When a whole entire room has been dedicated to be a pooja room, the walls may end up being quite plain and lifeless without any paintings on it. This ideabook compiles a collection of religious inspired and ethnic Indian paintings and wall murals suitable for a pooja room.
Let's browse through these paintings and wall murals for the pooja room and see if we can find some new ideas to liven up the walls of our pooja room.
Tanjore paintings refer to a classical South Indian painting style originating from the town of Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. Tanjore paintings are often characterized by rich and vivid colors, glittering gold foils overlaid on delicate but extensive bead work or inlay of precious and semi-precious stones. The paintings often serve as devotional icons as the subjects of most paintings are Hindu gods and goddesses.
This is one example of the precious Tanjore paintings available on homify. The painting is unique compared to other Tanjore paintings as it is embedded with gold plates and gems like ruby, emerald, and zircon. It is sure to stand out and make your pooja room shine in devotion.
Adding color, shine, texture, and elegance to the pooja room is effortlessly done with this beautiful Tanjore painting.
A pooja room is often considered to be like a small temple in the house, and wall murals can make the pooja room resemble a temple more.
Here you can see that this unique wall mural makes this simple pooja room stand out and gives it more character.
Although paintings have the advantage of flexibility because you can move them around, the beauty of wall murals lies in its semi permanence.
The beloved couple, Krishna and Radha is depicted with intense natural colors in this Kerala style painting, making it a vibrant piece to keep the spirits high in the pooja room.
Using the styles and techniques of Kerala painting and art, the paintings have been created out of traditional and natural materials such as vegetable pigments and natural vegetable oils on wood, stone, canvas, and leather sheets.
Krishna and Radha's divine romance is sure to radiate throughout the pooja room and bring spiritual inspiration with this beautiful illustration.
Browse through more paintings here for added inspiration.
This classic Indian wall mural depicts a royal Indian wedding and creates a colorful border for the walls of the pooja room. The wood-plastic composite material used softens the walls and creates interesting textures that stand out.
This beautiful wall mural is designed by Ben wall mural art, artists and artisans in Thanjavur.
In this Kerala style painting, Krishna is depicted as the ladies man he was famous to be. The charming Krishna with his flute was always a delight to all the ladies. This painting is an appreciation of the playfully divine Krishna—an interesting piece for the pooja room.

Popular Poker Variants
Before you ante up to play poker on the web, you should know that Canadian poker sites offer many different variations of the game. There's Texas Hold'em, of course, and classic variations like Stud and Omaha, to name a few. You've also got your choice of No Limit, Limit, and Pot Limit.
Before you double click on a table or tournament, make sure you know what you're getting into. Many of our picks for the best Canadian poker sites will offer you quick tutorials so you know what type of game you're playing before you shuffle up and deal.
Texas Hold'em
The most common kinds of poker, each player uses two hole cards together with five community cards to make the best possible poker hand.
Played in five and seven-card versions, Stud doesn't have any community cards. Each player receives all their cards, some face up and some face down.
Similar to Hold'em except each player receives four hole cards and must use exactly two along with the community cards to make the best hand.
The most common variety of Texas Hold'em, No-Limit refers to being able to bet and raise anything up to your entire stack at any time.
In fixed limit games you can only bet and raise in increments decided before the game begins. Many non-Hold'em games are played with fixed limits.
Pot Limit
Most commonly used in Omaha, Pot Limit refers to games where you can only bet and raise up to the amount that's already in the pot.
Live Poker
Before the internet all poker was played live. All over the world there are live cash games and tournaments playing out for millions of dollars.
The most common poker variant online. You judge your five card hand by the two on the table and what you think your opponents are holding.
Perfect for hitting the big time, by 'no limit' we mean raising. You can push however much you want into the middle, daring everyone else to match it.
Coming in seven and five card variants, stud poker players' cards are dealt in set orders face up and face down, and you bet on what you can see.
In fixed limit poker games, betting takes place according to fixed amounts. You can only bet or raise by a pre agreed sum.
Not as popular as Hold'em, though similar in many ways, in Omaha you must play two of your cards to make a hand with three of those on the table.
It's all about the pot. However big it gets, or not, that's your upper limit. Players can raise by also betting what was in the pot at the start of the round.
Poker Cash Games vs. Tournaments
Tournaments and cash games are two entirely different games and it's really important to understand the key differences.
In tournaments each player buys in for a set amount at the beginning of the game and in return gets a set amount of chips. Everyone competes against each other and when you lose your chips, you're eliminated from the tournament. The game continues until just one player is left: The winner.
In tournaments, the top 10-15% of finishers win a percentage of the prize pool. The higher you finish, the more you win.
In cash games each table has set stakes. That's the amount you have to post in the blinds and how much you're allowed to bet and raise in games with fixed limits. In cash games you can start and stop whenever you want and buy-in for more chips if you get busted.
Both cash games and tournaments offer online poker players entertainment and the chance to win some serious money. It's up to you to figure out which one suits your poker playing style.
|Cash Games
Play takes place around a single table
Played across multiple tables simultaneously
Players can exchange cash for chips at a value they feel comfortable with
There is a set buy-in amount that all tournament players must meet
You can walk away from a cash game at any point
A tournament ends only when one single player is crowned the overall winner
Blind values stay the same for each consecutive hand
Blind values increase incrementally over a set time period (e.g. every 15 minutes)
If you lose all your chips in a cash game you can buy in again and re-join the action
If you lose all your chips in a tournament then you're out of the tournament

Clearly these deposits were the product of major climatic changes in the past. During the early part of the twentieth century, botanists in northern Europe and North America built up an extensive array of information from the vegetation, insects and pollen records from both peat beds and the sediments of lakebeds. This monumental effort produced detailed but somewhat separate chronologies for events. Here we will concentrate on the Greenland ice-core data to discuss the basic features of the transition between the LGM and the Holocene.
There are two principal reasons for its being hard to reach firm conclusions about the nature and timing of the changes during the LGM. First, there is a basic measurement challenge of reconciling the results of different measurement techniques applied to a wide variety of proxy records. Second, there is no doubt that the lowest temperatures occurred at different times around the northern hemisphere. The rapid advance in the development of computer models of the climate has, however, made it much easier to explore the nature of the climatic conditions at time.
In Fig. 1(b), (c) and (d) the same example of climatic variability is combined with examples of climate change. 1(b), while in curve (c) the variability is combined with a sudden drop in temperature, which represents, during the period of observation, a once and for all change in the climate, and in curve (d) the variability is combined with a periodic change in the underlying climate. The implication of the forms of change shown in Fig. 1 is that the level of variability remains constant while the climate changes.

Marriage and Couples Counseling in Sacramento, CA
Welcome. If you are seeking help for your relationship, we are glad you have found us. The Couples Clinic is here to be a supportive resource for you and your significant other on your path to a better relationship. No matter what circumstance you are facing, you don't have to go through it alone, and we are certain that we can help you.
We believe that strong relationships build better communities, and that starts with a better you. We are committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families though the tough times. We believe that restoring the bonds in relationships is essential for restoration. It's important to note that relational bonds are dependent on maintaining a safe and secure connection, but when that connection is lost, it can make even the smallest challenges seem monumental. When that happens, couples get stuck in a never ending cycle of distance and pain. Our experience tells us that, for the majority of couples, re-establishing a secure connection is what works.
Not currently coupled? We also help individuals with their relational life. If you have a pulse, you probably have relationships that are important to you. If you'd like support with becoming a better you, healthier you, we know we can help.
Common issues
Couples seek help for all sorts of reasons and at various stages in life. Some common situations that bring couples in have included communication issues, drugs and/or alcohol, infidelity, financial disagreements, sex and intimacy barriers, parenting concerns or differences, mental health issues such as depression, issues related to in-laws or extended family, and issues related to blended families.
In addition to some of these common issues that couples face, many couples seek counseling during significant periods or stages of the relationship. Some of those stages include pre-marriage, having and raising children, launching (or attempting to launch) adult children, reconnecting and maintaining connection through later years, and dealing with loss and grief.
It's not uncommon for couples to seek support during these critical times and difficult periods. Even the strongest of relationships go through trying times that can affect the bond. When the bond is frayed or fractured, it's important to get help sooner rather than later so that difficult periods don't develop into more severe situations.
Don't delay
No matter what issues you're facing, it's best to not delay getting help. If you're even thinking you need professional help, that's a good signal that you should call. It's best to address your issues earlier than later. It's not uncommon for couples to make every effort to work through their issues on their own, but getting help from a counseling professional can help save a lot of unnecessary heartache.
Occasionally, the issues do resolve on their own, but if you discover that you have been trying to resolve things on your own and you're still feeling stuck, don't delay getting help. There is no need to chance a meltdown before making the call. Too often, couples wait until one or both partners have their foot out the door, and it's much harder for couples to make progress at that point.
It's well known that divorce can be very expensive, and yet it is very avoidable. Invariably when couples wait too long to get help there is so much negative sentiment built up that even the good moments can be overlooked or glossed over. Dr. John Gottman calls this negative sentiment override, and it can make conversations with your partner feel like trying to move a two ton emotional boulder uphill.
When to seek help
What to expect
You and your partner should both feel comfortable with the counselor with whom you are working. At Sacramento Marriage Counseling we take a non-judgmental, compassionate, and active approach. We'll be engaged with you every step of the way. We believe there is value in the strengths and skills our clients bring to the counseling process, and we see value in capturing and integrating those in to the process. It's also common for clients to experience the benefits of the counseling process even after just the first session. However, it is also possible that one or both partners could feel as though things are getting worse before they get better. This is due to the process occasionally bringing up difficult memories and raw feelings. Even though it may not feel like it in the moment, processing through these difficult feelings is progress.
We believe that stronger families build better communities. We are committed to providing a safe haven with compassionate support for couples and families to heal and grow.
A thorough evaluation of your relationship. In part, this includes your strengths and needs as a couple, and an in-depth look at how safety is maintained and lost within the relationship.
Ongoing collaboration to put the pieces back together. Exploring emotions, perceptions, attachment needs, and expression of those experiences in a safe process.
Build on newfound safety in the relationship, and create a sustainable way of connecting with one another even in the midst of conflict.
More questions?
If you have more questions, feel free to contact us directly at 916-400-9570. We are happy to provide a FREE phone consultation to answer any other questions you have, and give you a better sense of the counseling process. We want you to feel at home in the process with us. In the meantime, we also encourage you to look around the site and see if it helps answer your questions prior to your first visit. In addition, we've added some helpful information and tools to help you improve your relationship even outside the counseling process. The information you find is not meant to be a substitute for the professional help you'll obtain in counseling, but we hope that you'll find it helpful to your specific situation. It is our hope to be a trustworthy resource for strengthening your relationship.

Series Intro: Army Acquisition has been called many things. A team sport. A challenge. An opportunity to support the warfighter.All of these can be true on any given day in Army Acquisition, with the primary goal of pacing the threat, or as said more bluntly like a mantra by Maj. Gen. Kirk Vollmecke, the Program Executive Officer for Intelligence Electronic Warfare & Sensors: "deliver now." In order to do this leadership has identified critical areas in their policies, procedures and personnel that they can alter, streamline for efficiency or create whole cloth. This series will explore some of their tasks and implementations from the first steps in acquisition beginning with "hatching" new products to meet the needs of the warfighter to when the product "leave the nest" and become part of sustainment.Some of these targets were mandated at the highest levels of the acquisition, some were mandated through evaluating team requirements and capabilities and some were driven by PEO ingenuity. This series will examine the hows and the whys of these changes, what they mean, and what they hope to accomplish.Process to Product Part 1: How To Prevent An Unrecognizable SandwichThere is a training drill that military instructors often use at the advanced level in the United States Army.The instructor divides a class of 10-20 people into about six groups. These six groups are given a seemingly simple task: write a military style Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the making of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They are given about an hour and a half to write this SOP.The instructor then collects the SOP's, and proceeds to execute using only what is written. Without fail, the room watches in horror as the instructor proceeds to follow the SOP to the letter.If the twist tie on the bag is not mentioned? The instructor tears open the bag of bread. If the sides of bread -- where the spreadable material is meant to go - are not designated clearly? One slice will end up with peanut butter and jelly on one side, facing out, with an unadorned slice underneath it. Worse, the peanut butter and jelly will end up on the outside of the sandwich with nothing in between the bread slices.This lesson in culinary carnage ends with the instructor placing these sandwiches-in-name-only with each SOP and the teams must identify how their SOP resulted more in an abstract art thesis than recognizable food stuff.Kam Lee, a systems engineer with PEO IEW&S, spear headed a new kind of training to prevent these "failed SOP sandwiches" on a higher level.In order to request a new technology to fulfill a need, the Army must create a Performance Work Statement. Lee created foundational training to ensure that across the board PWS's follow a standard, and further proposed that Integrated Product Team actively seek out test engineers as consultants if not full time members.This means defining the scope of a need, analyzing the results of that scope, and using that information to write the PWS. Lee's training brought a structured approach to this writing. The parameters for a product in all its phases, from its prototyping before its delivery to the government, then how many to deliver to the government for its approval, documenting system designs and changes along the way.Diane Pettersen, an engineer with the Acquisition & Engineering Division under PEO IEW&S assisted Lee with the training, and saw it as effort to build synergy throughout the acquisition process. This means ensuring a greater amount of detail, for example if the Army wanted a "car" merely designating "four wheels and a steering wheel" simply isn't enough."It might have to meet a certain weight, might have to go a certain speed, go a certain distance," said Pettersen. "All that will be in requirement spec that will inform the PWS and the whole requirement package.""[We should], make sure it's clear, legally binding and executable." said Pettersen. "We're trying to make sure everyone's on the same page: you start here, this is what you need to follow and these are the types of statements you should be using, some of the words you shouldn't be using because they are ambiguous."To that end, Lee and Pettersen taught the idea of having one person "take point" in document creation."What we're trying to instill here, beside the document, is the process. Have someone who is on point, someone is the central POC responsible for the document." said Pettersen. "That person is reading the document to make sure all the pieces are telling the same story."Similar to how a film director controls the main aspects of production, the Point Person ensures each piece from each person's area of expertise "fits the script.""You might have engineering, but you need a production engineer or someone to figure out how sustainment is going to happen," said Pettersen. "And then your tech manuals, your training, how that's going to be conducted. You need to have input from everybody."So we know one person needs to ensure that everyone is not only thinking of the "same sandwich," but also, that their area of expertise is fitting into the process. There would be a twist tie manager, a bread expert, a jelly technician, a peanut butter engineer (creamy or crunchy?) and so on. Lee's training outlines the following functional areas for Systems Engineering: hardware, software, , program protection, test and evaluation, configuration management and quality assurance surveillance plan. Then Safety, Logistics and Program and Financial Management and any respective sub-categories.After all the data, specifications and milestones are made clear, a standard format is applied, those are a cover page, table contents and three defined sections that must appear in every PWS: Scope, Applicable Documents and Requirements. This standardization means that requirements will not only be clearer, but comparable between users and writers.Finally, Lee made it crystal clear in his lessons that language is incredibly important to the core of PWS: avoid ambiguity as often as possible. Phrases such as "as applicable," or "as required" are far too vague. Who determines what must be made and when must be clear.Another term Lee is specific in avoiding is "best commercial practices" first because it's undefined and second because what is the best commercial practice may not be best for the warfighters in the short or long term.This clarity that Lee teaches is essential not only to get a PWS out the door, but even more for Army Contracting Command, where Contracting Officer Abby Jordan works."I've been in the Army as a civilian for almost eight years, and prior to that I was in private industry." said Jordan of her experience, which informs her perspective on building a PWS. "Part of it is really engaging with industry, early and often." said Jordan. "For example, if it's a competitive procurement, releasing draft PWS's and getting feedback from the community.""I know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it's pretty clear to me," she said. "But a contractor, if they were to win that contract? They may look at it differently and say 'I don't know what you're saying here, are you saying A-B-C when you mean I should be doing X-Y-Z?' We've had a lot of success releasing PWS's early to the industry and just getting their take on where there may be confusion or even getting their take on how we can incentivize performance at the end of the day."Jordan will often seek industry thoughts on a PWS when she receives it, in order to ensure it's as clear as possible."I've been through many alpha contracting sessions where we go paragraph by paragraph in the PWS," she said. "The government will say 'this is what this paragraph means to me,' and the contractor will then say 'well, this is what the paragraph says to me.' Then we work together to still get the overall requirement and get rid of any misunderstandings."Lee and Pettersen's methods, combined with Jordan's pursuit of consensus with industry partner will be key in implementing these standards of PWS writing across the PEO IEW&S portfolio, and perhaps expand to the whole acquisition community in the future.

Workers Left Terrified After Being Approached By Friendly Pit Bull
This was the moment workers at a restaurant became paralyzed with fear after they saw a friendly pitbull wander into their building.
Universally, pit bulls have been lumbered with this unfair reputation of being a mean and uncontrollable animal. However, this is usually down to irresponsible owners and negative media coverage. In theory, you could train a chihuahua to be a bloodthirsty canine.
Which brings us to this hilarious clip of these restaurant workers jumping for the rafters when a pit bull walks into their diner looking for a playmate.
The amusing incident took place at in Ouro Preto do Oeste, Rodnia, in Brazil, last week (July 17). Security footage shows staff members going about their everyday tasks. But the uneventful day quickly turns into a circus act when a man on his phone, and holding a drill, spots something at the four-second mark, before hastily making a beeline for the closest door.
His colleague soon realises what has him so shook as he points out to the 'danger' and pretty soon all the other staff members are heading for the hills – or in this case the backroom and the counter desk of the reception.
But what has them all running for their lives? Turns out it was a harmless pit bull looking for someone to play with, however, the workers are oblivious to the dog's good intentions and assume he's a wild mutt looking for some man flesh. It's what leads these labourers to lock themselves in other rooms or jump off from the floor like they were playing the lava game.
The good-natured pooch can be seen wagging his tail sniffing around the reception, at one point he goes behind the counter and three of the workers jump on top of the reception desk. Still, the pit bull is none the wiser to their fear and assumes they're playing with him as he continues to sniff around and wag his tail.
It was as if these fully grown adults were under siege and the pit bull was their tormentor. Eventually, the staff realised the dog posed no threat so they got left from their safe havens.
According to a staff member who shared the video:
The pit bull escaped from a neighbour's house and wanted to play with our team members who weren't having it."
While there are many responsible pit bull owners in the world, unfortunately, there is a minority of owners who train their pit bulls for nefarious and inhumane purposes. Some owners use pit bulls as a status symbol and means of intimidation.
The same can be said for Staffordshire Bull Terriers who have a fearsome reputation (once again due to irresponsible owners). This month MPs rejected calls from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to add them to the list of banned dog breeds in the UK.
The government debated the matter on July 17, following a submitted proposal from PETA to the government's consultation on the Dangerous Dogs Act, requesting it to add Staffies to the list.
However, a petition was started which gained over 160,000 signatures urging the government to reject PETA's recommendation.

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Updated: Dec 27, 2019
Daisy Jones is young, wild and naturally talented.
The Six have worked steadily to get the success that is heading their way.
By chance, Daisy and The Six's frontman, Billy, end up singing a hit song together and their respective managers decide that touring together is the best option for both.
What follows is rock-and-roll magic, except when it's not.
Written as the transcript of a documentary film, the author's newest book contains all of the usual plot points for a story about up-and-coming rock stars. Drugs, sex and partying. Riding the high of becoming famous. The dark places fame can take a group of people so closely intertwined. (And be warned, the probability that you will sob for two entire chapters is high.)
But the author so deftly writes about these characters that you forget the entire thing's fiction. I often went to Google people and places only to remember this was entirely made up. I really wish that I could hear the songs of Daisy Jones & The Six. They must have been amazing!
A Taylor Jenkins Reid book is now an absolute must-read book for me going forward. You should probably try this book to find out why.

Skip to 0 minutes and 6 seconds CATHERINE FRIDAY: My experience is that teamwork is hard, and it needs to be learned. A lot of people that we recruit as graduates into the firm we select because they have been individually successful generally in their academic careers but often in other areas of their life as well. However, our success as a practise and our success as a firm is based almost exclusively on people's ability to become part of a team, to understand their role and their responsibility and their accountability within that framework. And that has to be learned and practised every time.
Skip to 0 minutes and 36 seconds GARY SMITH: What is absolutely important is that a team needs to be able to collaborate, and collaboration means respecting other people's opinions, bringing shared issues to the table and the old adage that a problem shared is a problem halved is absolutely the truth in a team environment.
Skip to 0 minutes and 58 seconds MELINDA DI VITA: Teamwork can be one of the hardest things you'll ever encounter. There are some people who simply cannot work in a team, who are lone wolves, and they will achieve what they want to achieve on their time, in their way. So you need those people in an organisation because they're probably the experts in the area that you're wanting to do some teamwork around. So that could be knowledge experts. So you need them in a team environment. But no, I don't believe everyone's a team player. And it's not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing. It's just the way that it is. And as a manager, that's what you have to deal with.
Skip to 1 minute and 39 seconds CATHERINE FRIDAY: The great success of teams comes when people put the objectives of the team ahead of their own egos and are prepared to adapt and flex to what the team needs rather than what they might want in any particular situation. So it is all about what is the broader objective that we're asserting here and leaving egos at the door.
Skip to 2 minutes and 0 seconds MELINDA DI VITA: Respect first and foremost because everyone has an opinion. So you have to listen and you have to respect everyone's opinion. You also have to respect everyone's skillsets. So there are some people who are great starters, but shocking finishers. And then there's people who are excellent finishers, but aren't motivated to start anything. And then there's the people in the middle who keep the motivation and the drive going. So as long as you can understand what everyone's skillset is and where their motivations lie within the team, I think that's really important. That's just vital for success.
Skip to 2 minutes and 34 seconds CATHERINE FRIDAY: In my experience, being introvert or extrovert actually doesn't matter. What matters is getting on and doing the job and being responsible for the tasks that you are given. It is doing, not talking, that ultimately matters. And you're introvert or extrovert profile is largely irrelevant in terms of your overall capabilities.
Skip to 2 minutes and 54 seconds GARY SMITH: Extroverts by nature will tend to dominate, and those who aren't as extrovert will feel a little bit intimidated and potentially a little bit undermined. The important part of a team environment is that everyone's opinion is able to be contributed and everyone's opinions rings equally with the next.
Skip to 3 minutes and 17 seconds CATHERINE FRIDAY: I think teamwork falls all over when teams stop talking to one another and communicating with one another. In some teams, particularly teams that are new and where people don't know one another, that communication might need to be structured. There might need to be formal team meetings or formal team get togethers in order to provide that connectivity around who's doing what and how people are progressing with the particular tasks that have been assigned to them. In other teams that are more mature and have worked together a lot more, that will happen informally and a lot more organically in the life of a project. But I think teams succeed or fail on the success of their communication.
Skip to 3 minutes and 54 seconds GARY SMITH: Be prepared to work in a truly collaborative environment. Be prepared to express your opinion and thoughts based on as much fact and reason as you possibly can and be prepared to listen to others.
Skip to 4 minutes and 10 seconds MELINDA DI VITA: Difference. So you need different people on teams for it be successful. There is no point me hiring six of myself to do a task because we'll all have the same opinion. We'll have the same approach. You need people who are completely different, and I'm talking an all different levels– so with skillsets, nationality, male, female, everyone. So completely different backgrounds– you need people who have got different life experiences to make a team work.
Employer perspectives
There are many reasons why organisations value professionals with good teamwork skills. In this video, senior workplace leaders share their perspective about what good teamwork looks like, why it matters and tips for improving your own teamwork skills.
Teamwork is one of the most highly regarded employability skills and most organisations rely on successful teamwork to achieve their goals and objectives.
Being able to work productively within a collaborative project or team is vital for increasing creativity, improving the quality of work and fostering healthy and productive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders in contemporary workplaces.
Organisations can also leverage collaborative environments to improve their customer service. For example, professionals who collaborate are able to provide a better experience and superior support for their customers by being able to tap into internal experts, information and resources.
To achieve organisational objectives and goals, employees need to be able to collaborate across teams and organisational boundaries, communicate clearly with each other, be aware and considerate of emotions and solve problems with the full intellectual capital of the team rather than individuals.

Interpreting the likelihood ratio statistic in factor models when sample size is small

The use of the likelihood ratio statistic in testing the goodness of fit of the exploratory factor model has no formal justification when, as is often the case in practice, the usual regularity conditions are not met. In a Monte Carlo experiment it is found that the asymptotic theory seems to be appropriate when the regularity conditions obtain and sample size is at least 30. When the regularity conditions are not satisfied, the asymptotic theory seems to be misleading in all sample sizes considered. © 1980, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
