Equine Assisted Therapy
History of Equine Assisted Therapy Equine therapy, also known as Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT), is a treatment that includes equine activities and/or an equine environment in order to promote physical, occupational, and emotional growth in persons suffering from ADD, Anxiety, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Dementia, Depression, Developmental Delay, Genetic Syndromes (such as Down Syndrome), traumatic brain injuries, behavioral issues, abuse issues, addition issues and many other mental health problems. Equine Therapy can help the individual build confidence, self- efficiency, communication, trust, perspective, social skills, impulse control, and learn boundaries. Since the horses have similar behaviors with humans, such as social and responsive behaviors, it is easy for the patients to create a connection with the horse. Riders with disabilities demonstrate their remarkable accomplishments in national and international sport riding competitions. Equine-Assisted Therapies have been recognized in the medical and mental health field by most major countries. Equine therapy dates back to the times when horses were used for therapeutic riding in ancient Greek literature. Orbasis of ancient Lydia documented the therapeutic value of riding in 600 B.C. In 1946, Equine Therapy was introduced in Scandinavia after an outbreak of poliomyelitis. Therapeutic Riding was introduced to the United States and Canada in 1960 with the formation of the Community Association of Riding of the Disabled (CARD). In the United States riding for the disabled developed as a form of recreation and as a means of motivation for education, as well as its therapeutic benefits. Animals such as elephants, dolphins, dogs, and cats have also been used for therapeutic purposes. Horses become the most popular animal to use in animal therapy because they give immediate feedback to the handler or rider's actions. Horses also have the ability to mirror the feelings of the handler or rider. Horses' large and intimidating appearance forces and individual to gain trust around them. Application: Equine therapy can involve more than just riding the horse. In some sessions, a client might not even touch the horse at all. Often the therapist leading the session will set goals for the client to complete, such as leading the horse to a designated area or putting a halter on the horse. The client will complete the task to the best of their ability and then discuss the thought process, ideas and problem solving used to complete the task. Discussing what the client is doing at a given time allows them to improve language skills. Listening to the instructor helps improve the individuals ability to listen and follow directions, ask questions, etc. Not only is there communication between the handler and the instructor, but also between the handler and the horse. This skill becomes especially helpful for those who are struggling with anxiety as often times they are stuck in worry about the past, or catastrophic thinking about the future. This activity encourages a person to be present and focused on the task at hand. Therapists who teach Equine-Assisted Therapies can easily adapt Cognitive Therapy as well as play and talk therapy. Depending on the nature of the anxiety and its severity, the Equine therapist is able to make decisions about the processes or techniques applied in the sessions. Main techniques used are Cognitive Therapy, practicing activities, activity scheduling, play therapy and story telling and talk therapy. Cognitive Therapy: This type of therapy is often used as a treatment for anxiety. Horses sense danger and respond with heightened awareness of their surroundings, oftentimes trying to flee if the situation seems too dangerous to them. Individuals suffering from anxiety disorders may be able to feel these changes through observation, then allowing them to discuss anxious activities with the therapist. Focusing on the apprehension of the animal rather than oneself can greatly reduce the individual's anxious response and allow them to challenge automatic thoughts. Throughout this process the patient would practice remaining calm and taking responsibility of his or her own thoughts. Practicing activities: Often times, individuals experiencing severe anxiety will tend to avoid activities that are challenging, fearful, or out of their comfort zone. This technique allows an individual to choose an activity, which may be outside of their own skill level. The therapist will then assist them as needed and talk with them about thoughts or feeling that are stimulated by these activities. For example, longing, bathing, and feeding the horse are all activities that involve coordination, planning and active communication. Activity scheduling: Many people struggling with anxiety will begin to avoid chores or other responsibilities that previously were inherent in their daily activity due to the impact the anxiety is having on their lives. The more they avoid however, the more their anxiety is perpetuated by thinking about returning to those activities. Planning or developing a schedule to care for an animal or horse throughout the day can teach an individual a sense of responsibility as well as flexibility because the physical needs of the animal/ horses can change anytime. This allows the person to direct their focus away from their anxiety and begin returning to structure during the day that will foster a experience of feeling more competent and responsible. Play Therapy and Story telling: Many horse characteristics can be identifiable to individuals including the instincts of play, curiosity, freedom and social drive. Play therapy allows and inspires creating relationships and setting limits. Story telling encourages developing stories about what the animal is thinking and conveying emotion. This is a great tool for encouraging the development of language skill and creativity. Equine Therapy is often used as a team building exercise or in family or group therapy because horses also show interpersonal behavior. Also, because equine therapy is often goal oriented, it allows the group to work together to achieve a common goal. The Unique Roles of Horses in EAT This list includes characteristics of horses that make them unique for therapy. Non-judgmental and unbiased: Horses react only to the patient's behavior and emotions and are not biased by the patient's physical appearance or past mistakes. Patients describe this as being crucial to the therapy and aids in increase of self-esteem and self-confidence. Feedback and mirroring: Their nature as a prey and herd animal makes them hyper vigilant and sensitive, thus making them keen observers. This means that their feedback is provided earlier and more consistently than with a human therapist. The horse has an innate tendency to mirror the patient's behavior, physical movements and emotions, which help the participant be more aware of him or herself. It allows patients to "feel felt". This feedback can then be translated by the equine specialist and analyzed by the group. Metaphor for real life: The ability of a therapist to use the horse as a metaphor for other issues helps make the equine treatment applicable to real life problems. An example of how a therapist can help the patient work out issues in their own lives through the use of the horse as a metaphor: "One child was having great difficulty discussing how they were feeling about an upcoming move to another state. She was, however, able to offer many suggestions for how to help a horse that was being sold feel more comfortable in his new environment". Using the horse as a metaphor for his own move, the child better understood and could cope with her own move.

— -- intro: This week, Neil Young rages against corporate greed, R&B singer Miguel gets truly funky, nineties apocalyptic grunge act Failure return with their first album in 19 years, rapper Vince Staples releases his debut full-length, Matt Pond PA go in a more commercial direction on their first album in five years, indie rockers Good Old War drop a new album and buzz-band X Ambassadors release their long-awaited proper debut. We have a lot of new music to cover this holiday weekend.
quicklist: 1title: Neil Young & Promise Of The Real's "The Monsanto Years" ***text: Neil Young has had a prolific, if not uneven last few years. At his best, his recent albums have added texture and nuance to his latter-day discography. Go listen to 2010's woefully under-rated and excellent "Le Noise," if you want proof. But he's also had a few clunkers, like that album's slapdash follow-up of traditional covers, "Americana" or last year's "Storytone" which generally suffered from weak writing.
"The Monsanto Years," named after the highly controversial agrochemical company, finds Young as his pointiest and most political. He's blunt and to the point here. The lyrics are more about his message than they are about artistic expression. This can make some of these songs a bit awkward and to be honest could make his message a bit heavy-handed even to people who agree with his observations about corporate greed and corruption.
This is an album of environmental rage and frustration. It is an album made with drive and purpose. Usually, this can lead to some of Young's better work. His 2006 album, "Living With War," for instance is as much a protest record of its time as any politically-driven record of the sixties. That same spirit is here, but it is somehow bogged down.
"People Want To Hear About Love" is a decent song about how people rather listen to bland songs about love than they do about pollution, environmental destruction, the loss of personal rights, etc. It's a valid point. People rather spend time with the shiny distraction than focus on the impending disaster if given a choice. While this would sound better delivered in a less straight-forward way, it wouldn't get Young's point across in quite the same way. He wants his message to be a clear as possible. So if this album is very much on the noise, it is by that way by design as Young sings a chorus of "Too big to fail" on "Big Box" or goes against a coffee giant we all know on the cleverly-titled, "A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop."
On the whole, this is album-length thesis against GMOs, but on top of the message comes some pretty decent guitar work. What this album lacks in nuance, it nearly makes up for in riffs. While the time for lyrical subtlety has passed, that doesn't mean that Young doesn't want to make the album catchy and bouncy in the process.
The deluxe version of the album comes packaged with a DVD, showcasing an hour-long film about the making of the record. The live performances captured on film somehow have a little more impact than they do on disc. This is far from one of Young's classics, but it is a good Young record in the way that it has a clear purpose. Some listeners may find this album a tad weighty and the people who will dig it will probably leave Young essentially preaching to the choir, but it is refreshing to know that in 2015, Young has not lost his protesting spirit.
Focus Tracks:
"A New Day For Love" This song has an admittedly phoned-in title, but it showcases some of Young's best guitar and melody work on the record.
"Workin' Man" This ode to farmers having to work and deal with Monsanto has the straight-forward, classic country blues feeling of some of Neil Young's more classic work.
"If I Don't Know" This again recalls some of the best elements of classic Young while slightly muting this album's overall political intensions. It still mentions signature themes heard throughout the collection, thus keeping the message cohesive.

quicklist: 2title: Miguel's "Wildheart" ****text: On "Wildheart," Miguel's third album, the singer goes further into the realm of what I would call "alternative R&B." This is a rather progressive record, which is perhaps why Miguel is seen as someone pushing the genre forward.
If you can't tell from the cover, this is a rather smooth, often erotically-charged record. Speaking of that cover and its liner notes, it looks like something out of a Renaissance painting sex manual. It's a pretty daring and peculiar picture. But that is the point. It grabs your attention. This is a woozy, funky set. Songs like "Deal" and the Lenny Kravitz-assisted "Face The Sun" possess a casual rock-driven flare. In truth, there are very few records out right now that sound like this one. Smooth-loving groove "Coffee" can't help but momentarily recall Spandau Ballet's "True."
There seems to be a thread going through this album, showing love and sex as a means to salvation. And there is a potent religiosity in the way Miguel approaches sultry material. The soft, groovy feel of this record even bleeds into unexpected places, including the gangsta-flavored ballad, "NWA," which finds Miguel matching a slick falsetto with a nearly whispered rap section from Kurupt.
This album offers a chilled, complex sonic concoction. It even sounds laid back when it is upbeat. "Waves" really moves, complete with some heavy cowbell action, but at the same time, the groove remains lush and almost pillow-like.
There's also a feeling that Miguel may have been listening to a lot of rock from the seventies during the making of this record. You can hear it clearly in the glam-rock guitar textures on "Hollywood Dreams." And yes, Prince remains an obvious source of inspiration.
With "Wildheart," Miguel has continued to distinguish himself by delivering a record with a distinctly driving, unifying tone. It's a remarkably focused and often entrancing record.
Focus Tracks:
"Coffee" This is easily the catchiest and warmest song on the record, destined for pop greatness.
"The Valley" While "Coffee" has a romantic tinge, this is a slick, lusty ode to making a sex tape. The parental warning sticker is there for a reason. If you aren't down for this kind of track, you should look elsewhere. There is a bit of Nine Inch Nails-inspired energy to this one. Watch this become the next "Closer."
"Waves" The metaphor between surfing and sex is evident, but this song is actually subtle enough to become a hit and it has a radio-ready bounce.
"What's Normal Anyway" This is a break from the tone of the rest of the record and is an important ode to identity confusion of various varieties and cultural expectations.
media: 32183884
quicklist: 3title: Failure's "The Heart Is A Monster" ****1/2text: Failure's last album was "Fantastic Planet," 19 years ago. Listen to that album and their new album, "The Heart Is A Monster" back-to-back and those nearly two decades nearly disappear. This album continues exactly where that album left off. Ken Andrews still sings over post-Cobain-ian, minor-key guitar progressions with a Beck-like deadpan tone. The songs are still extremely heavy and churning, packed with ethereal haze. There's a highly cinematic approach at work here.
As a listener, I was always amazed that Failure even in the nineties always seemed to be a band only my coolest friends had ever heard. Considering "Stuck On You" from "Fantastic Planet" had one of the most beautiful videos of the decade, with a heavy, brightly-hued James Bond-theme influence, I always assumed they would make a bigger splash. Listen to their excellently grungy cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence" on a late nineties tribute album and you get the idea of their versatility.
Andrews for his part on the off-time became a big time rock producer, most notably working with A Perfect Circle. He also worked on his other projects, Year Of The Rabbit and ON. Greg Edwards was in Autolux and drummer Kellii Scott was involved in a variety of projects including Blinker The Star and one of Louise Post's latter-day reformations of Veruca Salt.
This album is probably just what longtime fans of Failure expect. It is a righteous return that finds dissonance in all the right places. A listen to "Atom City Queen," "A.M. Amnesia" or "The Focus" will make plenty of people smile since they are all thick with the band's signature heft.
Even if you've never heard Failure before, they are an important and highly focused band. If "The Heart Is A Monster" is your first taste of this Los Angeles band, it should be immediately evident why they have a devoted following. There is beauty in every crushing riff and every exercise in instrumental tone.
While these songs have a dour undercurrent, Andrews in particular leads the band in a way that the helps listeners will find each track's underlying, inherent beauty. This album never pulls punches. It does exactly what it intends. It is yet another sign of 2015's surprising and welcome return of grunge.
Focus Tracks:
"Mulholland Drive" Naming this as the first focus track may be misleading to some. It is the biggest sonic outlier of the record. The guitar crunch and atmospheric touches recede. This track sounds influenced by both the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" and the psychedelic turns of the Beatles' "Abbey Road." But with the guitar-fuzz lessened, the tight orchestration heard here and below the surface on the rest of the record is revealed.
"AM Amnesia" This is more typical work from the band, as guitars crash over minor-key, sudden melodic shifts.
"I Can See Houses" This is a hushed, ominous meditation on a plane ride. Is the plane doomed? It is hard to say, but this song has the same kind of pregnant tension as Liz Phair's classic, "Stratford-On-Guy." There are also some nice melodic touches that bring to mind Trent Reznor's softer side. This is definitely a song fueled by a fear of flying.

quicklist: 4title: Vince Staples' "Summertime '06" ****text: During the same week as his 22nd birthday, rapper Vince Staples has released his full-length debut album, "Summertime '06," following up last year's "Hell Can Wait" EP. He also has recently gained some high-profile exposure thanks to recent collaborations with both Common and Earl Sweatshirt.
Music has sort of saved Staples. As a troubled youth in Long Beach, California, he fell in with a tough crowd and has a long family history of growing up with gangs. This background informs this gritty album. If you are looking for something sugar-coated and sweet, look elsewhere. This is a frank, dimly-lit collection which discusses drug dealing, violence, fallen friends, dead bodies and a fear of the police. As strident and strong as Staples sounds on here, there's occasionally a slight sadness in his tone, perhaps noting his lost innocence.
This is an ominous and sparse collection. As highly controversial as this album can be, it never feels like it is shocking merely for attention. Each observational tale and bit feels like it has been lived and the record maintains an almost cathartic sensibility. Even when this album is upbeat, the backgrounds remain chilled and minor-toned. Even at its bounciest, this album never sounds celebratory, effectively mirroring the consuming darkness of the street life it portrays.
It makes sense that Staples would have appeared on Common's amazing "Nobody's Smiling" last year and Earl Sweatshirt's "I Don't Like S***. I don't Go Outside," this year. He's blunt in his delivery, but there is a slight consciousness behind his intentions. This also shares a bit of the state of the nation anger and frustration that fuels some of Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly."
One note. On CD this is a double album. From a format standpoint, this is a needless waste of resources since it only clocks in at an hour on the whole. It can easily fit on one disc. This mysterious formatting issue aside, on "Summertime '06," Vince Staples doesn't pull any punches. He doesn't hold back. This is an unfiltered expression of his perspective. It may be too much for some listeners to handle, but it provides some intense food for thought in the process. This is a challenging and surprisingly gripping record.
Focus Tracks:
"Like It Is" This plays like a funeral march with a soft vocoder-assisted voice ushering in essentially a prayer-like calm before a clanging beat comes in. This track is towards the end of the record and it feels like Staples' summery. His observations are biting and this is a touching plea for redemption after getting caught up in violence.
"Norf Norf" This is one of the most driven tracks on the record. It almost sounds like a party record. It isn't. The most striking moment on the song is during the chorus when Staples completely changes his vocal tone completely and he repeatedly chants in a low, serious voice, "I ain't never ran from nothing but the police."
"Lemme Know" (Featuring Jhene Aiko and DJ Dahi) Staples changes his tone and is able to sing in unison with Jhene Aiko over a pulsing groove.
media: 32181907
quicklist: 5title: Matt Pond PA's "The State Of Gold" ****text: On Matt Pond PA's first album in five years, the indie rock outfit makes significant moves toward brighter territory. The shimmering synths that adorn the opener, "More No More" are begging for pop airplay and for his part, leader Matt Pond is able to coat his compositions in this neon sheen without sacrificing his signature sense of song-craft. These songs still sound like they were created by the same band that gave us signature tracks like "Brooklyn Stars" from 2005's "Several Arrows Later" and the hauntingly sad anthem to love loss, "Remains" from 2010's "The Dark Leaves."
Does Pond sound like he's been listening to an alarming (and surprising) amount of Katy Perry records? Weirdly, yes. But he's got the songwriting chops often lacking in that brand of pop, so these songs sound like well-crafted pop confections that even the most judgmental of indie rock fans might enjoy without guilt. It's a revelation of a metamorphosis.
If "Emptiness," The Starting Line" and others all get ignored by the powers that be making decisions about what songs get airplay, it is a missed opportunity of massive proportions. This album also shares the same kind of retro-eighties-meets indie-rock appeal that fueled Sky Ferreira's incredible but under-rated 2013 album "Night Time, My Time." (It's an unlikely comparison, I know, but it is an apt one.)
No doubt, this is Matt Pond PA's most commercial and universally appealing album to date. If given the right audience, this record could be a commercial juggernaut. It's a welcome turn for this band, even if it is one I never would have ever predicted.
"The State Of Gold" is a textbook example of how to appropriate a glossier sound and potentially open yourself up to a wider audience without selling out your initial artistic vision. While this album is remarkably bright, it is never incongruous with the band's legacy. Many bands have tried this kind of turn. Few have succeeded to this degree.
Oh, and if this album does become a hit, I really hope the before mentioned "Remains" gets some retroactive airplay and in effect becomes a revisionist hit. Five years later, that song is still an epic monster of a song.
Focus Tracks:
"More No More" The adjustment in sound is felt immediately at the beginning of this opening track, but it works much like Tegan and Sara's last album, "Heatthrob" worked in their favor. The change Matt Pond PA went through isn't quite as drastic, but it is still a fitting comparison.
"Take Me With You" This is a bright, pounding dance song meant to be played on summer nights on the beach. Again, though, it still possesses Pond's core sensibilities.
"Don't Look Down" While still in the pop realm, this has a potent indie-rock urgency.
media: 32181856
quicklist: 6title: Good Old War's "Broken Into Better Shape" ***text: On their fourth album, pop-flavored, indie- rock outfit Good Old War deliver a keen collection of songs that have a gentle, articulate emo-like sensibility that sits them sonically somewhere between Jack's Mannequin and the mellower side of Army Navy. This is the band's first record since the departure of founding member Tim Arnold, turning the trio effectively into a duo and the transition is handled well. That being said, Arnold is credited as a writer on some of the songs and so his contribution to the band is still felt.
This is indie rock with radio potential. And it is evident that the band knows this. There are calculated "whoa whoa whoas" during the chorus of opener "Tell Me What You Want From Me" combined with shouted "heys!" Still, the band members still distinguish themselves with occasionally thoughtful lyrics and a knack for tuneful execution.
There's an appealing quality to these songs even if at times it feels like we've heard these songs before. "I'm The One" throws a bit of a curveball with its sonic marriage between a reggae-tinged shuffle and a plucked banjo, while the scratchiness on "Broken Record" adds a pleasant quirkiness.
This isn't a record that will change the world, but it is pleasant and enjoyable nonetheless. "Broken Into Better Shape" plays with formulas you know and Good Old War sound like quite a few other bands, but at the same time, what they've done here is worth a listen.
Focus Tracks:
"I'm The One" This is easily the most compelling, musically sophisticated track on the album.
"Broken Into Better Shape" This is an anthem about picking yourself up when things go wrong and making yourself better in the process. In other words, we learn from our mistakes. As the old adage goes, "Whatever doesn't kill us will make us stronger."
"Tell Me What You Want From Me" If you want a test track to see if this album generally is for you, this may be your best bet.
media: 32181704
quicklist: 7title: X Ambassadors' "VHS" ***1/2text: Ithaca, New York band X Ambassadors make their full-length debut with "VHS," a 20-track dose of radio-ready singer-songwriter pop with slightly funky undertones. The band consists of brothers Sam and Casey Harris and their friends Noah Feldshuh and Adam Levin.
There's a pop sheen all over this record and the seven interludes on the record actually keep things interesting. They often threaten to sound like their friends Imagine Dragons, but the truth is, they have an experimental core that keeps them from suffering from the banality that often plagued Imagine Dragons on their latest album, "Smoke + Mirrors." To their credit, Imagine Dragons show up on this album on the song, "Fear" and the results are impressive.
X Ambassadors have an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach that can make them appealing. They can jump easily from the folk-pop of "Renegades" to the crooned R&B balladry of "Unsteady" to the drum-n-bass-flavored "Nervous." To a certain degree this is a record that conforms to some questionable pop-radio aesthetics, but it is the chances this band takes that makes this record a worthwhile listen. Effectively, the band easily belongs in both the pop world and the experimental one. The imaginative beat-work on this record really sets it apart from the pack. Plus, their two collaborations with blues singer Jamie N Commons provide another interesting touch. (Their 2013 collaborative single, "Jungle" is on this album.)
"VHS" is a bright beginning for this band. Let's hope when it comes to making their second record, they continue to nurture their experimental side and don't dull down their edges.
Focus Tracks:
"Renegades" This key single is a nice slice of folk-pop. It's a truly enjoyable song, but if you watch the video, it gives the song a whole new level of gravity, showing a variety of differently-abled athletes striving to reach their goals. It should be noted that this is no doubt of particular importance to the band considering keyboardist Casey Harris is himself blind. It is great that they have used their level of fame to put something inspiring into the world.
"Gorgeous" This is an unexpected serving of R&B-flavored pop and it really works.
"Fear" (Featuring Imagine Dragons) As I stated above, I was not a fan of Imagine Dragons' latest record, but this is a mesmerizing sonic swirling attack. It is really busy, but if it grabs you, it will pull you further into its grasp.
Next Week: Things get a little altered. In the U.S., for years the release date has been Tuesday. Starting July 10th, for the most part a global release-date system is being adopted where new releases will be released on Fridays. When we return we'll have reviews of the latest from Veruca Salt, Ghostface Killah and more.
Missed last week's? Get the latest from Kacey Musgraves, Bully, Wolf Alice, Pete Rock and more.

I received a complimentary item for the purposes of review.
Scars, discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks are things we women have been searching to find solutions for since the dawn of time. One of the more extreme treatment choices I got to try thanks to Beautonics. They sent me a 1.0 mm microneedle derma roller which is used specifically to treat the aforementioned conditions on the face and all over the body. Derma rollers work by perforating the outer surface of the skin to encourage collagen production. Typically, the worse the issue and thicker the skin the longer the needles need to be. Beyond 1.0 mm you are getting into clinic use only territory.
The Beautonics Derma Roller came packed like Fort a Knox is locked down. This is comforting because you can be more confident that the tool is not damaged, contaminated or previously used. BTW, don't share derma rollers. To use it make sure your skin is freshly cleansed and rinse the Roller in hot water. Roll it over the desired area with gentle but firm pressure in alternating vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions for a total of 10 passes. Your skin will look red but shouldn't feel painful. This redness indicates inflammation which encourages blood flow to the area to heal and fill. It's best to do this before bed or at a time you won't be going anywhere. Gently re-cleanse the area, apply your serums or creams of choice and rinse/sanitize your roller before storing in its protective case. This process does not typically yield immediate results. To take advantage of the skins restorative processes and prevent excessive irritation treatment should be done no more than once a week. Every two to three weeks would be better. This is certainly not for the faint of heart or the extremely ticklish. I used it on my hips to help with stretch marks and I could barely finish. I never realized how thin and ultra sensitive the skin there was. The irritation lasted 2 days before subsiding. I'm going to keep using the roller though in the hopes to see a reduction in those stretch marks. FROM THE COMPANY:

A thread over at Reddit.com/Religion got me thinking about people who describe themselves as being a former atheist, and I wanted to delve a little deeper into what exactly is meant by this. So I posted another question to the Religion sub-reddit, which you can read here.
Following feedback from a number of users, I now want to ask the same question here, but ask for a little more information. To do that, I think it would be helpful to be as specific as possible; since quite a few of the responses over at Reddit are from folks who seem to have somewhat misunderstood the thrust of the original question, or the reason why I asked it. This is probably my fault for not being clearer in the way I phrased it, and so if you're reading this because I redirected you here from Reddit, please give me a moment to explain why I asked the question again, with a little more detail. Similarly, if you're reading this before reading the original two threads at Reddit, please go take a look at them before posting in the comments section below.
In the Reddit post, entitled 'I'm looking for people who were atheists and became religious', I defined the word atheist as being 'someone who rejects the idea that the theological texts of any religion are a true account of events which could only have been instigated by the specific God of the particular religion to which those text are thought sacred'. I went on to explain that I was not looking for 'someone who previous to becoming religious simply did not attend church, did not pray, or was unfamiliar with the teachings of the religion to which they now belong.'
I wanted this to be clear, because the exact definition of the word 'atheist' itself, seems to be a constant source of miscommunication and misunderstanding, and I was keen to only get feedback from people who once understood that believing something is not proof of that belief being true, but who now believe that, in fact, it is. I wanted, in other words, to get to the meat of what happened in that transitional period between accepting that faith-based truth-claims are the exact opposite of those which are objectively true, and what thought processes 'former atheists' went through in order to falsify this statement of fact.
For example: Angela believes that she has £1million in the bank. She had a personal experience of what it was like to be a millionaire which was so real to her, that she began to think and act exactly as if it were true. Angela goes to a Mercedes dealership, and tells the salesman she'd like to drive away in a brand new sports car. She hands over her credit card, and jumps into her new set of wheels, and readies to drive off. But as the salesman attempts to transfer the funds from her bank, the computer refuses the transaction due to 'insufficient funds'. No matter how much Angela insists that he tries again and again to take her payment, there is simply no evidence of her having the money needed to pay for the car — despite how hard she insists the salesman must believe the money exists for the same reasons she believes it does, and hand her the keys.
So the definition of the word atheist, which I used in the request for comments over at Reddit, was of someone who not only understands why Angela has no money, but also understands what Angela would have to do in order to prove that in fact she does. The people I am interested in talking to, then, are those who also claim to have once understood this, but who now — by virtue of the fact they claim to believe in a particular God from a specific religion — must by definition no longer hold themselves to the same standard of proof which as an atheist they once did. If this is you, please explain how you moved from the first position to the other.
What, specifically, do I mean by 'the other'?
Some of the replies (as of 7am GMT Wednesday 10th April 2013) to the Reddit thread, were from people who consider themselves 'spiritual but not religious'. It is only fair to point out that most of these people were apologetic for the use of this unwieldy turn of phrase — and I've written before about the understandable awkwardness of words like 'spiritual', when what we really want to say is 'that which feels right', but don't know how to acknowledge the way in which this appears to shift the meaning of the word spiritual towards the emotional side of the brain and away from the intellectual; where it can be tempting to dismiss it as being merely the medium through which metaphysical truth-claims are abracadabra'd into having a greater importance than they would otherwise merit.
Please note, I am not saying that the only way for a spiritual experience to deserve being taken seriously, is if it can be proven to have originated with, or been instigated by, the particular God in which someone believes. I am simply asking how someone could ask for such a possibility to be taken into consideration, as part of their conversion story, if they also claim to have once understood why such a claim does not constitute proof of those same beliefs which they now claim to hold.
Moreover, I understand that it is not always the case that someone, who previously considered themselves to be an atheist, necessarily defined their a-theism according to the sort of definition I have given here. Many believe, for example, that an atheist is merely someone who does not pray, or go to church. But this describes many people who do, nevertheless, feel as if they are part of 'something' which however hard they might try to describe, 'it' moves further and further outside of their ability to do so, the harder they pursue that very description; least of all a description which would be of any meaning to someone other than the person who experienced 'it' at firsthand.
What I am arguing, then, is that however tempting it may be to place this inability to describe 'it' into the same part of our intuition in which we assume religious people place their faith in the particular God of their specific religion, it is nevertheless a category mistake of the kind we can do without if we're genuinely serious about addressing 'why questions' with answers which do not merely seem to 'work' because they reenforce our existing beliefs, but because they legitimately give us a better perspective on 'it'.
Your turn to speak
When you were an atheist, you understood that religious beliefs are not based upon evidence of God's basic existence, but a belief among adherents to the particular religion which you now belong have about the validity of the sacred texts in which God is already presumed to exist. The question is, when did you cease to understand the obvious problems with this, and choose instead to adopt it?
Please note, I don't expect anyone to post dissertation level replies. I'm simply keen to see if there really is any such thing as a 'former atheist' in the strictest sense of the word, or if it is more accurate to say that of those who do describe themselves as such, most have bounced from one set of religious arguments to another, without ever considering that atheism is not the mechanism by which we reject one set of arguments so as to replace them with another, but a standard of reasoning against which all religious truth-claims can be equally judged.

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful replies. As ever, threats of eternal torment and / or physical violence and / or cut and paste received opinions you don't actually understand will be marked as spam. Dan, this means you.


text: I posted the other day about one of my patterns, Margin . Here's more technical info on that! The pattern is available from Windy Valley Muskox but we are working on the website - hopefully wrapped up shortly. Yarns I used: -purple is WVM Merino in 7015 Thai Basil, one skein. This merino is heavenly, I also have stranded mittens in this fiber! -gray is WVM Majestic Blend in 5030 Fog Bank, two skeins. This yarn is a blend of silk, merino, and qiviut . I have designed a cute hat with this one before. This pattern uses just about every inch of these yarns! That's a total of about 650 - 670 yards. You can find more info on the Ravelry pattern page, here . I also had it test knit. Olivia did beautiful work with this, including lovely in-progress and finished pictures. So pretty, I had to share with you: Here's her finished shawl, I swiped this picture from Ravelry (with permission.) Gorgeous, right?

.- Respondents to an online poll which asked them to name their heroes were more likely to name President Barack Obama than Jesus Christ.
The Harris Poll, conducted online among 2,634 U.S. adults between Jan. 12 and Jan. 19, asked respondents to name three people they admire enough to call a hero. Those surveyed gave spontaneous answers and were not shown or read a list of people to choose from.
Respondents most often named Barack Obama, followed by Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
Mother Teresa was the tenth most often named, while God was the eleventh most.
"The fact that President Obama is mentioned more often than Jesus Christ should not be misinterpreted. No list was used and nobody was asked to choose between them," Harris Interactive said in a statement.
In a similar poll in July 2001, respondents most often named Jesus Christ as their hero, followed by Martin Luther King, Jr., Colin Powell, John F. Kennedy, and Mother Teresa.
Asked to identify what they believe makes someone a hero, respondents named doing what's right regardless of personal consequences, not giving up until the goal is accomplished, doing more than what other people expect of them, overcoming adversity and staying level-headed in a crisis.

Social media and SEO are merging. Social media is having a bigger and bigger impact on SEO every day. In fact, in a year or two, your social media strategy and your SEO strategy will probably go hand in hand.
For the moment though, social media is just one factor in SEO. One very important and growing factor. If you can learn to use social media right, you can significantly boost your rankings while building a strong social media base. Here's how to do it.
Funnel Your Connections to Social Media
A lot of people put up a Facebook page or a Twitter feed and just hope people show up. That doesn't work. Instead, when you launch a new social media initiative, do a big push to your existing contacts.
Tell your email list. Tell your friends. Send emails to specific people. Ask people you know to join. Get the conversation started and get the ball rolling.
Social media will only help your SEO if you have an active community. Build an active community by watering the seeds.
Actively Cultivate Buzz
Actively cultivate buzz. Get people talking. Ask for comments, ask for shares or offer to answer question. You can even bribe your audience. Try offering a $10 gift card to whoever gives the best answer to a question.
Google's social media algorithm reads many things:
- Your number of comments
- Your number of shares
- Your number of likes
- Your number of retweets
- The ratio of followers to active participants
- Spam signals
- Positive vs. Negative sentiment (e.g. a brand that's getting a lot of complaints might see a lot of comments, but it's actually bad for SEO. Google can "read" comments to a certain extent.)
As you can tell, fake or low quality followers won't cut it. You have to cultivate real buzz and generate real conversations.
Leverage Social Media Relationships
In addition to giving you an SEO boost, social media is a great way to build relationships. Other website owners, bloggers, journalists and other influencers will start to follow you. Build those relationships.
When the time is right, reach out to them. Ask for a backlink. Ask for a retweet. Ask for a mention on their blog. This can be a powerful source of high quality backlinks.
Be a Show Off
Use widgets to "show off." Put the Facebook widget on your website to show how many likes you have. Place a Twitter widget on your site to show how many followers you have.
For one, this helps build social proof and makes you seem more credible. More importantly, it tells Google that you and the page are linked. If you don't showcase your Facebook page, Google can't know that the page is owned by you. Link your Facebook page and your Twitter feed to your website for maximum SEO benefit.

Resizable issue with bootloader
Hey All,
We have just finished migrating to 1.2.0 and everything is working well except for one issue.
On any image we attempt to pull (windows 7 is what we have tested with), We create an image (single disk resizable) and upload the image and it uses PartClone and it uploads the image without any error messages. However, when we deploy the image…it sends it, says "done" for all steps and then "task complete". The system then boots and hangs with "cmain()…" If you press F12 and tell it to boot manually from the SATA drive…black screen…nothing…will not boot at all. If we enter debug mode and mount the partition however, everything is there.
As far as we can tell, the bootloader/mbr is getting hosed with a resizable disk.
I'm just double checking as to if resizable is now working in FOG. I know it didn't work in version .32 with 7 but i thought that it was working in this version.
[quote="Cpasjuste, post: 39741, member: 25902"]Yep i confirm that the deployment is now working, thanks (without re-uploading)[/quote]
Yep i confirm that the deployment is now working, thanks
What Tom said is correct. Once the install is updated to current SVN, just upload and deploy.
I will say this. Getting to the lattest SVN will also fix ALOT of other issues too.
Sure ! I'm on it, i'll report tomorw
Edit : i should come more on the forum as i'm on this problem since 3 days now
You "should" be able to update and redeploy. If you have any issues, please just let me know.
Hi, i have the same problem. I'm also willing to try the svn version, but how does it will work ? We should still rebuild a new image or should we be able to just update fog server then re-deploy ?
I was wondering about that. We saw the start boundry shift from 63 to 2048 and figured it was something with that but wasn't sure how.
I'm willing to give SVN a shot. This is a feature we have been really wanting to use. Got a lot of people ready to upload new resizable images
Thanks for the help!
This is because my thoughts are correct.
Just in a different order.
In 1.2.0 back to 0.32 the resizable image makes assumptions of the layout of the image.
0.32 created all images starting on sector 63 of the hard disk.
1.x.x does not.
What's causing the image to not work is because 1.x.x to 1.2.0, during download imaging, used at start sector of 2048. Your image, and I'm just guessing, is a single partition Windows 7 image. Meaning there's no 100MB first partition, just the main data containing partition (or c:).
The image is starting to write data at a that point, while your boot manager (windows side) is expecting the data to be at sector 63.
There is a fix in SVN if you'd be willing to give that a shot. If you can't, the best method to retain the operation of the image would be to use the non-resize or recreate the image from scratch and re-upload.
All of our images are from .32 but i am not trying to "re-upload" to an existing image. I'm trying to create a new one for the resize feature.
The thing is, I created a brand new image entry for the resizable feature and uploaded off our master machine to FOG. When i try to deploy that image, that's where the problem happens. Here is the process i have tried.
.32 non-resizable image sent to dell 755 master
Create new 1.2.0 resizable image in FOG
Upload Dell 755 master to 1.2.0 resizable image
Once finished, download 1.2.0 resizable image to other Dell 755s
Not one of them will boot with the issue above.
We went back and fourth an tried a non-resizable 1.2.0 image and it works fine. It's just when downloading the resizable image does it break something.
My guess, then, is you first deployed a 0.32 image and then attempted to reupload?

Industry 4.0
Enterprises face the unrelenting networking of real and virtual worlds and thus have to adapt their manufacturing processes to the advances in digitization. This gives you the opportunity to make manufacturing and logistics at your enterprise more efficient and flexible and exploit highly new business models.
Since we are not tied to any particular technology, we can offer unbiased consulting services for your enterprise. These are founded on extensive experience in BI (business intelligence), data science, and a broad-based portfolio of services. Count on us to guide you through the fourth industrial revolution with meaningful implementation recommendations.
From Steam Power to the Internet of Things – Industry 4.0
The 1st industrial revolution brought mechanization, the 2nd led to development of the assembly line and mass production, the 3rd encompassed digitization, and now the networking of real and virtual worlds is gradually becoming the Internet of Things ("IoT"). One talks about this as the 4th industrial revolution or Industrie 4.0 (Industry 4.0), with the enormous potential to decisively transform manufacturing processes and business models.
What is Industry 4.0?
The term Industrie 4.0 (Industry 4.0) was coined under a collaborative initiative of the German Federal Department of Education and Research (BMBF) and the industry, and is used for scientific communications. This describes the industrial utilization of the IoT to create networked, automated factories and value chains beyond the limits of an enterprise. Industrial manufacturing is intertwined with the most advanced information and communication technologies – resulting in the creation of a smart factory.
Industry 4.0 – A Futuristic Project by the German Government …
Industry 4.0 is not just a challenge faced by the industry, it is also the German government's futuristic project. BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education & Research) and BMWI (Federal Ministry of Economics & Technology) are working out a joint high-tech strategy to address this core social and political task. The aim is to embed Germany as one of the future leaders of the international manufacturing sector.
…and Industry
Accordingly, in 2013 the German business associations BITKOM (digital association), VDMA (mechanical engineering industry association), and ZVEI (electrical & electronics industry association) set up Industry 4.0 – a collaborative platform to develop and implement this futuristic project of high relevance to big corporations and SMEs alike.
Many German enterprises, particularly manufacturers, invest in innovative technologies like automated machines, and use consultants. As the experts in BI and big data analytics at b.telligent, we offer a range of consulting services and implementation recommendations that empower you to join the Industry 4.0 revolution and make your enterprise a success.
Challenges of Industry 4.0 – Opportunities and Risks
Industry 4.0 encompasses a multiplicity of facets that play a critical role and require action. These include R&D, standards/norms, and security. Increasing digitization and industrial networking are giving rise to ever more interfaces between relevant actors – with a growing need for common standards/norms among diverse industrial sectors.
Beyond standardization, data privacy and the security of your enterprise's in-house networks (security by design) embrace the biggest challenges in implementing Industry 4.0 strategies, because fully networked manufacturing has to be secured against cyberattacks. From a data privacy perspective, the key question is the sensitivity of your data. Are we talking about personal information (privacy by design)? On the other hand, does your strategy involve a private, hybrid, or public cloud solution?
A smart Factory has numerous Advantages
- Flexibility and customization: a smart factory comprises intelligent value chains that enable faster and focused integration of specific customer requirements or market developments into each life phase of a product – i.e. from development to manufacturing, utilization, maintenance, and recycling.
- Predictive maintenance: a smart factory recognizes wear and tear and identifies problems with machines before they lead to downtime. Relevant systems thus initiate just-in-time maintenance or repairs and assist in taking appropriate actions, before the problem becomes acute. For instance, a smart factory can order parts and issue repair orders; yet, modern processes like data science and machine learning remain vital.
- Lower manufacturing costs: networking your enterprise empowers you to not just optimize specific production steps, but the entire value chain. Real time access to information allows you to control manufacturing processes outside of your enterprise, while conserving energy and resources. Consequently, manufacturing in a smart factory is consistent with the principles of lean management.
Many sectors other than a smart factory will also utilize digitized information to hop on the bandwagon of revolutionary changes. Below are a few examples:
Internet of Things as the Foundation of Industry 4.0
More than just humans use the Internet as a means of communication. The IoT also interconnects machines and products in our daily lives – providing a form of constant communication among machines that serves as the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution.
Interfaces Between Digital and Real Worlds
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) define the technological basis for combining IT (informatics, software components) and the physical world (mechanical and electronic elements). Through the IoT, CPS enables data and processes to be fully captured, analyzed, and optimized in real time. The result is (almost) complete automation of decision processes.
The Smart Factory – Intelligent and Decentralized
Plants are developing into smart factories though the use of networked, intelligent machines, robots, products, and materials. Interoperable machines and subsystems apply appropriate data analysis to self-direct manufacturing processes.
New Lines of Business and Business Models (Service over Product)
Digital transformation of the economy and industry will alter both value-chain processes and entire business models. Value addition achieved through customization, interaction, and hybridization will drive enterprises to develop new business concepts tailored to meet more of their customer needs. Emphasis will be on XaaS (anything as a service), a field in which Microsoft is already offering scalable, highly flexible, and intelligent applications like Azure cloud services and machine learning.
Newly acquired data will give birth to new concepts that benefit from application of the information collected. For instance, Google is already taking advantage of the situation by applying intelligent data analytics to devise new business models.
Analytical Forecasts over Traditional Planning
Moreover, the fourth industrial revolution also affects key financial control processes like forecasts, sales planning, and strategic planning. New technologies are helping optimize business models.
Optimizing the Supply Chain
Supply and manufacturing processes that are successful and ready for the future start off by dealing with aspects of Industry 4.0, and finish with effective execution of relevant measures to network processes, acquire data, and perform intelligent evaluations.
Rely on our consultants at b.telligent to analyze business processes and undertake enhancement and optimization measures. We identify the relevant data, and conduct automated processing and analysis to deliver information that you can utilize. In essence, we apply intelligent analyses to transform pure data into fully integrated elements of a value chain.
Master the Fourth Industrial Revolution with b.telligent
Bank on b.telligent's experienced consulting capabilities and competencies within the scope of BI – to collect, input, save data, set up data stream analyses, present the data, and prepare these for pertinent decision-making. Furthermore, we assist your enterprise in implementing recommendations and solutions of value – as digitization continues to advance.

Common hair product also prevents sweaty feet from sliding in heels
Nobody wants slippery, sweaty feet, especially when they're rocking heels — but that doesn't mean Mother Nature is on our side.
Decode and demystify Gen Z's latest online slang terms with In The Know's new glossary.
Temperatures are rising to record highs, and things are finally opening up after a year of lockdowns. Yet, striking a balance between showing off all the cute outfits you couldn't wear before and staying comfortable can be nearly impossible. Sweat is going to happen. Too much moisture in your shoes is not just a bit funky it can also cause blisters and skin bubbles.
Update your sweatsuits with these lightweight loungewear pieces!
Fortunately, In The Know's Lisa Azcona has got an unexpected hack to make wearing heels comfier in the hottest of weather. All you need to prevent sweaty, sliding feet is — surprisingly — dry shampoo.
"The perfect heel can elevate any outfit," Lisa says. "But it's hard to move past the fact that they are uncomfortable, especially in hot environments when your feet are sweaty and slipping forward in your heels."
For this hack, just grab your favorite dry shampoo, preferably one that uses a spray nozzle for easy application.
"It turns out that dry shampoo works great to absorb oils and sweat using alcohol and starch-based active ingredients," she explains.
Spray the dry shampoo on your feet a few minutes before you head out. Once you put your heels on, you may want to spray another coat on top if they're sandals or open-toe.
"Make sure you are vigilant about how much you are spraying since it can leave behind some white residue," she advises. "You want to be as discreet as possible, so I'd recommend targeting the soles of your feet."
Before you try this hack, you may want to test a patch of skin on your feet to make sure the dry shampoo does not cause irritation.
"This hack is great because it keeps your feet moisture-free, and it also makes them less slippery since it's adding a little bit of grip and traction to that area," Lisa says. "And it's a bonus that it keeps your feet refreshed and smelling good."
Tiny kitchen? No problem. These are the best ways to maximize your small space!

Insectoid Workers
Due to their versatility and resilience, the Insectoid Workers are the most commonly encountered of the Hive Born. They seem to be relatively expendable and are used as foragers and scouts in the widest sense. They test the strength of their enemies and sometimes, they are sent in great numbers to bring down a dangerous foe without risking the more valuable warriors. Usually the Insectoid Workers are chosen to become one with the hive structures to grant them their unnatural life. As expendable creatures they are encountered quite often, but their brethren show little regard for them. It has been observed in battles that they are devoured by wounded hive creatures to regain strength.
They seem to depend less on the hive than other Hive Born. Although they lose strength and health when away from the hive, they survive for extended periods and so they are for now the only Hive Born that have been encountered elsewhere in the world. It is assumed that their appearance might serve the creation of new hives but so far no new hive has been established. In the hive area, they are often paired with waspoids in scouting missions and hit and run tactics.
In the war of the hive against the Deeplings, the Insectoid Workers are the most basic troops. Although not as numerous as the swarmers, they usually last longer and are used at more critical points of interest. They often attack in concert with the swarmers and seem quite proficient to pick and take down wounded opponents. Like fearless soldiers led by a general, the Insectoid Workers march side by side, knowing no fear and ignoring wounds and casualties. It is their lack of emotion and passion that makes their advances so frightening.
Insectoid Workers have 950 hitpoints. They are immune to earth damage. Moreover, they are strong against physical damage. On the other hand, they are weak against energy, fire and ice damage. These creatures can neither be summoned nor convinced. In addition, they are able to sense invisible creatures.
Insectoid Workers yield 650 experience points. They carry compound eyes, dung balls, gold coins and sometimes other items with them.

A versatile and ubiquitous resident of marine waters
Seaweed is not a true plant; rather it is a generic term for macroscopic, multicellular benthic marine algae. Scientists tend to classify seaweed by color, with the primary groups being red, green, and brown. Some blue green algae are often categorized as seaweed. Structurally, seaweed superficially resembles terrestrial plants. The lamina is a flattened structure similar to the familiar leaf. The stipe looks like a stem. The holdfast is a specialized basal structure where the seaweed meets the object to which it attaches (generally a rock). The haptera are finger-like structures extending from the holdfast and anchoring the holdfast to the substrate, similar to the roots on a plant. The two necessary conditions for seaweed are salty water and sunlight. With one exception, seaweed also requires a hard attachment point. The most common attachment points are rocks, but shells, piers, docks, and marine structures such as ships and offshore platforms also serve the purpose. Sand and mud lack the capability for seaweed attachment. The exception to the requirement for a benthic attachment consists of fully planktonic seaweeds, such as Sargassum, which are free-floating and utilize gas-filled sacs to remain afloat or minimally submerged. Seaweed has a variety of commercial uses and is harvested by many maritime communities. It is a traditional food in many Asian countries, with consumption increasing in other nations based on its reputation as a health food. Processed seaweed is also a common food additive in the form of agar or carrageenan. Alginates are used in medicine as a component in wound dressings and in production of dental molds. Agar is commonly used as a culture medium in biological research. Seaweed is used as fertilizer in many coastal areas and as compost. It is a common ingredient in toothpaste, cosmetics, and paints, as well as various industrial products. On the downside, rotting seaweed produces hydrogen sulfide. It has been implicated in several cases of hydrogen sulfide poisoning and several years ago a large container of seaweed exploded in a French coastal community, injuring a worker.

The exponents of the decline-of-ideology thesis have failed to provide a serious analysis of the political, economic, and ideological trends of the period. They were wrong in their predictions that Marxism and radical ideologies would lose their power to motivate. They were also wrong in their predictions that the two great ideological systems were converging. Not only did they fail to provide an analysis of the political, economic, and ideological trends of the period, but they also failed to provide a serious analysis of ideology as a concept.
In an attempt to define ideology, I trace its appearance and usage in early, philosophical writings to such modern interpretations of the world as seen in the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries philosophers: Marx, Mannheim, and Lukacs. A definition is presented: "Ideology is any more or less systematic set of ideas and thoughts which have been converted into beliefs explaining man's attitudes towards life and his existence in society and specifying a pattern of political action responsive to, and commensurate with, such ideas and thoughts."
Another reason why attention is focused on the interpretation of ideology as presented by the above theorists is to demonstrate the validity of four propositions: First, ideology was part of a philosophical conception of politics critical of all pre-modern conceptions of the political arrangements under which society was organized and not any justification of the existing order of things. Second, all later ideologies are attempts to resolve the basic theoretical and practical problems posed by the original theory of ideology. Third, the contemporary ideological climate of thought is mainly the result of the vulgarization of the concept by Marxist theorists who attempted to provide an analysis of ideology. Fourth, the views held by the exponents of the decline-of-ideology thesis are similar to those who have provided the basic ideas for the formulation of the concept.
The entire convergence thesis is based on the static assumption about the momentary state of world politics and economics, and the thesis tends to disregard more fundamental differences among social institutions and attitudes. There is a conceptual confusion which tends to obscure the many-sided reality of the contemporary world. The convergence theory should be dismissed because it does not provide any evidence that ideologies are declining. It simply lends justification to the accusation that the exponents of the decline thesis do not write as social scientists but as ideologues.
Ideology has been seen as declining as a result of the emergence of a post-industrial society in which scientific knowledge and technology play a central role. This society is also characterized by high and widespread levels of economic well-being and affluence which lead to the disappearance of dissatisfaction. In short, all the dimensions of the post-industrial society are non-political. But these writers have not elaborated the political implications of their concept. No systematic attention has been given to the nature of the post-industrial society.
Implicit in the writings of the exponents of the decline thesis is the assumption that there is an ultimate movement towards a static equilibrium of the social forces and a denial of moral and human ideals in the post-industrial society. But they have misconstrued what happens to man's political interests, behavior and attitudes towards politics as society becomes more affluent. Several plausible hypotheses are examined with respect to the attitudinal change that may occur in the post-industrial and affluent society.

A lot of people are interested in playing a shaman in World of Warcraft. However, not everyone understand that shamans play quite a bit different compared toหนังใหม่ชนโรงพากย์ไทย the other classes, especially when it comes to playing DPS. DPS is a bit different from the rest of the " hybrid" classes, and it seems a lot harder to pull off than a hunter. A WoW shaman guide can definitely help you renders advice and choices in all 3 DPS categories: sustained DPS, DPS on the run and burst DPS.
The idea of a shaman in DPS is a lot different from the rest of the other specializations. A shaman doesn't have a lot of "Instant HoTs", abilities that casted for a short amount of time. When damage or healing is required, the shaman will rely on using their totems, channeled spells to finish the job. If you want to play a shaman in DPS, you will have to know when to use the offensive คลิป18+totems ( damaging spells) and when to use the defensive totems ( defensive spells). This WoW shaman guide will be showing you how a shaman will perform all 3 specs.
The first step for a shaman DPS class is choosing the right talent tree. It isn't that simple as one might think. The shamans have a choice among 3 talent trees: Elemental, Enhancement and Restoration. Let's look at the Elemental tree first.
The Elemental tree isn't as good as the otherหนังใหม่ชนโรง classes and is mostly focused on spells and an AoE spell aspect. While this is still a good build for leveling, for a shaman it will become his least favorite. The main problem with the build is the way the talents are scattered. You will have to unplug yourself from your rotation and makeshift your own rotation. The next problem is that you will have to figure out yourself how to prioritize your abilities in order to fulfill the role you're supposed to in the group. This causes a big downtime for you. As a shaman, you will have to manage both your mana and your health. Therefore, the build is not as good as the other specs for DPS.
The second talent tree is the Enhancement tree. This is a ดูคลิปโป๊ฟรีvery popular spec for a lot of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that this is the talent tree that shines in battlegrounds, arenas and the battlegrounds in particular. Since everyone wants to have the best that can be brought out for them for the offensive buffs, the talents that can be chosen in the Enhancement tree can be devastating. In the Enhancement tree you will also be able to boost your weapons, armor, stats and your offensive spells. These all come into play when you're in the battlegrounds, as the weapons and armor are the two things that make you more powerful. The specs for an Enhancement-spec shaman are 3x3x3.
This brings us to the highest available talent build for the shaman class. Unfortunately, this is a Silvermoon build, which is not as good as the Elemental shaman for in- PvE and raiding. The good news here though is that you can use a Enhancement shaman in PvP to shake things up. This will be a fun spec toดูหนังav play, as you'll be moving a lot, turning your entities and spells to 7, and also getting a different kind of mana regeneration, that of Life. In the end, a win is a win. In my opinion, a win is the approval of a shammy class for a certain role. So, a Goodwin shammy will be a big help.

1 Samuel
1 Samuel, Chapter 19
And Saul said to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, to kill David.
But Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David very much. And Jonathan told David, saying, My father Saul seeks to kill you. And now please be careful until morning, and stay in a secret [place], and hide yourself.
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you [are], and I will talk about you with my father. And I will tell you what I see.
And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works [are] very good toward you.
For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine, and the LORD worked out a great salvation for all Israel. You saw and rejoiced! Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. And Saul swore, [As] the LORD lives, he shall not die.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.
And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter. And they fled from him.
And the evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David played with [his] hand.
And Saul thought to strike David even to the wall with the spear. But he burst forth from Saul's presence, and he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.
Saul also sent messengers to David's house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And David's wife Michal told him saying, If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you shall be killed.
And Michal took an image and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' [hair] at its head, and covered it with a cloth.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He [is] sick.
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed so that I may kill him.
And the messengers came in, and behold, the image [was] in the bed with a pillow of goats' [hair] at its head.
And Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me so, and sent away my enemy so that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill you?
And David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel, to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah.
And Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
And they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers the third time, and they prophesied also.
And he also went to Ramah, and came to a great well in Sechu. And he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, at Naioth in Ramah.
And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. And the Spirit of God was on him also, and going on he went and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel, even he. And he lay down disrobed all that day and all that night. Because of this they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?

SUSTAIN: Scientific UnderStanding of the policy process for Transboundary integration And INstitutionalisation of the One Health across EU member States
|August 2019
|3 Years
|Social Sciences and Sustainability
|SVA- Sweden, Roskilde University-Denmark
|Olivier Rubin (Roskilde University), Ann Lindberg (SVA)
The Project
The PhD project lies in the field of social sciences and public health and aims to understand the political drivers and constrains for increased transboundary integration and institutionalisation of the One Health approach across EU member states.
To encompass transboundary health issues, a holistic approach, such as One Health provides a way forward. One Health joins the three interdependent sectors – animal health, human health, and environments/ecosystems – with the goal to address issues such as the spread of zoonotic diseases in its entirety. Human health does not merely result from biological or behavioural determinants. The environment also influences health through various impacts. Animal health can have direct and indirect influences on human health through zoonotic diseases, which are diseases transmitted from animals to humans.
Challenges for implementing the One Health approach are complex political and institutional structures. Complex political structures emerge through various levels on which politics can be discussed, such as local, regional, national and international levels. Additionally, problem definition as well as agenda setting opportunities, which entail policy change, are dependent on many factors and actors. Complex institutional structures are reflected by the various institutions working together on the purpose of One Health. Within and across these institutions, information infrastructure, collaboration and relationships can pose obstacles for implementing One Health. Hitherto, health and environmental programmes of governments and institutions are often seen as separate entities that do not influence one another. The reasons are manifold and include that researchers are experiencing difficulties in interdisciplinary work or that a lack of funding impedes interdisciplinary collaboration. This complicates and even inhibits the possibility of working multidisciplinary on a combined goal. More specifically, this can result in limited knowledge exchange within interdependent topics as well as in limited data and information sharing within interdependent sectors. Understanding barriers and facilitators to change policy processes, and how these differ across sectors and across EU member states is important information for the future of One Health in the EU.
The first step is a literature search to inform subsequent studies. Hereafter, quantitative studies of databases and of a survey addressed to institutions working on One Health topics will follow. Lastly, a qualitative study will be conducted, which will include interviews and observations. The studies will inform different aspects, such as the current state of One Health institutionalisation on EU as well as on national level, and the One Health networks' interactions as well as relationships.

Sarah Humboldt-Dachroeden
About me: Studying a BSc. Biology in Germany, I grew a passion for the complexity of ecosystems and the human body. Within my bachelor thesis, I focused on the immune system. To put the human health into a bigger context, I started studying MSc. in Public Health in Denmark. The studies provided a comprehensive view on the impacts the environment can have on health. Within my specialisation in global health, I focussed on health policies within the European Union and practical approaches such as health and environmental impact assessments. I have always had a passion for the environment and health, which is why I enjoy hiking and jogging in the nature.
What motivated me to do a PhD: One Health puts human health, animal health and the ecosystem into a multi-dimensional perspective. For me, One Health combines topics that I strive for and pursuing the PhD project will enable me to examine social and political interactions in the context of One Health on a European level. I relish the opportunity to be a part of a project that aims protect and promote human health, animal health and the health of the ecosystem with a collaborative effort. I am motivated to produce outcomes that will strengthen One Health collaboration on European level and additionally enhance my understanding of social factors within the One Health context.

"Two Sides of the Same Coin" by Zio Ziegler
San Francisco based artist Zio Ziegler (covered here) has an eclectic style; a few of his pieces portray Cubist figures, some more detailed than others, and then there are his more color-based paintings. His art is not cohesive, but rather reflects on his every day life's emotions and moods which flow between feelings of self awareness and bliss. He very much lives in the moment. Ziegler's current solo exhibition at Soze Gallery in Los Angeles, "The Psyche's Gestures," takes a look at these different sides of the psyche. For example, the rawer works, like "Two Sides of the Same Coin," an abstracted reclining nude with splashes of color and bold strokes, embody confidence he may have been feeling that day. Decorative pieces, such as oil and acrylic painting "Collapsed Still Life," were created at a time when he worked more meticulously. Through his experiences in graffiti, Ziegler has come to get to know other self taught artists whom he feels also value art for the sake of expression. It is their natural creativity that inspires him the most and appeals to his theme of the human condition. He continues to employ those elements and personal iconography here.

In his show's artist statement, Zielger writes this message to his viewers: "These are made as an attempt to reach towards the essence of karma and spirit, to provide an infinite through the window of an image. To serve as a starting place for thought, not as a search box towards the known. These are paintings that come from inward, and go outward, and will keep going for as long as humanity deems them necessary. They will carry your secrets, your projections, your ideas, your doubts and desires- this is the canvas as surrogate soul and memory. A piece of a mystery which cannot be solved, a nod to what we can never figure out, or plot and productize while keeping that which defines it alive. These paintings are yours, not mine." "The Psyche's Gestures" by Zio Ziegler is now on view at Soze Gallery through July 20th. Take a look at some photos from the exhibition below, courtesy of the gallery.

The agreements are in place, and the NHL is participating in the 2014 Sochi Olympics in February. Now the camps for each country are getting ready, and are sending out their invites.
The reigning Olympic champions have invited 47 players to camp, including Canucks Roberto Luongo and Dan Hamhuis. Luongo will be up against Corey Crawford, Mike Smith, Braden Holtby and Carey Price for the role of starting goalie. The Canadian camp is filled with many of the 2010 gold medalists, although notable exclusions include Jarome Iginla and Martin Brodeur. Camp will take place August 25-28 in Calgary.
16 silver medalists from 2010 are among the 48 invitees to the USA camp, including Canuck Ryan Kesler. Also, if we didn't need another reason to root for Canada instead of the States, Cory Schneider is one of 6 goalies invited to their camp, along with "silver medal" Ryan Miller, Jonathan Quick, Craig Anderson, Jimmy Howard, and some no-name Ducks goalie John Gibson. Camp will take place August 26-27 in Arlington, home of the Capitals.
Sweden (link is Swedish)
Canucks players Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, and Alexander Edler are all invited to camp August 12-14 in Stockholm, as goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. The team looks to be nearly as stacked as Canada, and could easily do well this time around after losing in the quarterfinals in 2010.
Playing host to the Olympics, the Russian team will meet in Sochi for camp August 23-24. Led by Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin, 18 Russian NHL players will be part of a 35-player orientation camp. Losing to Canada in the quarter-finals in 2010, this host team will look to what Canada just did: win gold on home ice. Sergei Bobrovsky, Evgeni Nabokov, and Semyon Varlamov are among the names for goaltending.
Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Finland, Norway, Czech Republic, Latvia and Switzerland will round out the men's hockey competition participants. The NHL website hasn't shown their camp invites yet, but we will update this post when they get added and if they involve any Vancouver players.

Academics say stop the drug killings, create truth commission
Members of the academe around the country have called for the creation of a "Truth Commission" to investigate the deaths of thousands in President Duterte's war on drugs and give justice to the victims of wrongful killings.
In a statement published on the website of the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Law this week, over 100 professors, instructors and scholars demanded a stop to the "chain of killings" under the Duterte administration.
"We call for the creation of an independent and credible Truth Commission with the power to subpoena witnesses [and] grant testimonial immunities to encourage key witnesses to step forward," the statement said.
It said the commission shall also have the power to "accredit persons or private institutions to give sanctuary to victims, their families and witnesses."
The Philippine National Police has admitted that officers have killed more than 3,800 suspected drug users and pushers in their anti-illegal drugs operations since last year. Thousands more have been killed by vigilantes suspected to be working with the authorities.
Right to effective remedy
"What is at stake is not just the constitutional right of persons against being 'arbitrarily deprived of life.' Equally at stake is the right 'to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the Constitution or by law,'" the statement said.
"The chain of killings must stop," it said. "The killers and masterminds must be brought to justice and impunity must end."
Despite the thousands killed, including children, only two criminal cases have been filed in the courts, the statement said.
Saying they were nonpartisan, nonpolitical and independent, the educators reminded the President of his oath to "preserve and defend its Constitution, execute its laws, do justice to every man" and urged him to demonstrate that his government was willing to investigate and prosecute those responsible.
"We call the President to desist from making statements that may be construed as encouraging the government's armed personnel to shoot or kill, whether with the promise of pardon or immunity, the prospect of reinstatement or promotion, or outright cash awards," the statement said.
The signatories include former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay, former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Solita Monsod and other professors from UP, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Far Eastern University, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, Miriam College, Adamson University, University of San Carlos, Visayas State University, University of San Jose Recolletos and Silliman University. /je
