Many people admire athletes for their talents, physical fitness, and dedication to their crafts. While athletes are certainly a source of inspiration, especially to young people, there can be a darker side to sports that fosters the development of an eating disorder or troubled relationship with food.
Traits that Can Contribute to Eating Disorders
Athletes are competitive in nature; they have to be in order to find the drive to succeed at their chosen sport. However, a constant focus on wanting to be the best can be extremely stressful. When that competitive attitude is combined with an emphasis on weight or body shape and pressure from coaches or parents, the risk of an eating disorder developing is increased.
The type of sport an athlete participates in can also increase their risk of struggling with an eating disorder. Some sports, like gymnastics or wrestling, focus on weight and muscularity requirements. Others, like figure skating or diving, focus on an individual's performance rather than that of a team, and subsequently increase the amount of pressure a person might feel to succeed.
Who Is At Risk?
Both male and female athletes can be at risk for eating disorders; however, most athletes with eating disorders are female. According to NEDA, over one-third of Division I NCAA athletes reported habits or thought patterns that put them at risk for anorexia nervosa.
What an individual may consider a one-time behavior to help them win can soon become a habit. For example, a wrestler fasting once to rapidly lose weight before a weigh-in may continue to do so or use other additional dangerous weight-loss techniques after he reaches his goal. It's possible that coaches and teammates might normalize or even encourage this type of behavior.
However, coaches and teammates can also be a source of positivity that relieve the pressure off of high-performing athletes. It's key for athletes to surround themselves with supporters who maintain a healthy attitude towards body image. Having coaches, teammates, and family members who value the whole person – not just the athlete's body or physical prowess – can also go a long way towards the prevention of an eating disorder.
If you believe that you or someone you know may be struggling from an eating disorder, contact Seeds of Hope and start getting help today.

"And the consolidation process will allow the district to save money when Kimball School closes next year, since the jobs of one secretary, 2½ custodians and a library assistant are cut."Yup, that's right. So much for all that supposed savings when consolidating Kimball and Walker schools, huh? Just 4.5 FTEs? That's all? You must be joking. How much money is that? Spend tens of millions warehousing our children into a massive school that is inappropriately sized on a footprint that is too small to save money from 4.5 FTEs? From the sound of board members and administrators during the discussions about consolidation, you would think it would be a lot more. Wow, I can't believe it.
Monday, March 8, 2010
Just 4.5 FTEs?
According to Karen Langley's article in this morning's Concord Monitor, the consolidation of Kimball and Walker schools will yield 4.5 FTEs in savings:

Looks like Josh Mosqueira has been working on his RSI, preparing for Monday's Reaper of Souls launch party by taking part in a mass signing of a table full of Collector's Editions. Each attendee of the party will be snagging themselves a free copy, but extra special because the devs have signed these ones.
Another piece of Reaper art is this point of sale stand currently enticing customers at the Wigan branch of Game. If you're in the area pop in and see if you can get dibs on taking it after they've finished with it. I've got quite a few using this method, especially effective if you try to look a bit pathetic when you ask for it.
If you see any displays in your local videogame shops or details of any launch events in your local area that others may wish to attend, let us know via email or in the comments here, but if you have photos perhaps best to email those.

Want to study a Film Production degree? Digital Film Production with a Foundation Year ensures you will develop a range of academic and technical skills relevant to technology in film.
You'll explore filmmaking fundamentals such narrative, composition and film theory to camera testing, designing digital production workflows and post-production.
Like the film industry itself, this course enables students to exercise a broad range of technical and creative skills with the support of the university's cutting edge facilities and software, including our Parkside Media Centre.
The Foundation Year course option enables you to study for our BSc (Hons) degree over an extended full-time duration of four years by including a Foundation Certificate (year one of four). The Foundation Certificate provides a broad study programme that underpins the follow-on degree. In order to progress to the next year of your degree, it is necessary to achieve a pass in all of the modules of the Foundation Certificate.
The Film Production degree focuses on fundamental technical concepts, including the physics of sound and light being captured during production (and the tools and approaches used to do this), as well as the techniques used to digitally store and manipulate both images and audio in post-production.
The course aims to produce well rounded filmmakers with a mix of technical, creative and business skills, able to work with digital video in a variety of industries. To achieve this, as well as its focus on the process and practice of producing films, the course covers a range of important subjects, such as visual composition, narrative design, production design, the film business and cross-platform productions.
Birmingham City University is a great place to study - the city has an active and accessible film-making community, and you will be studying in the same campus as undergraduates studying a range of arts, including acting, music, photography, fashion and theatre.
You'll also have opportunities to engage with industry, allowing a number of flexible paths to gaining work experience, including: basing selected modules around work experience, taking a placement year and working on commercial productions within the University.
The course definitely helped me with so many aspects of film and video production. From creating budgets for jobs, to understanding the technical functions of various cameras, right through to delivery formats for the projects. I certainly came out with a larger skill base and experience in filmmaking.

We pray that you will continue to support us especially through your prayers in 2012. Our plan was to be in Cubulco for the New Year but because of the flu hitting several members of the family we have had to postpone our trip so that we can get better. Driving for 4 hours along very windy roads is not pleasant when you feel fine. It is torture when you are sick. Having said that it was nice to be in the city for the New Year. We went to the roof of our house and watched the fireworks erupt all over the city. It was not as big as Christmas but it was still impressive.

It is too late now, Mr Obama
All the things you didnt say out
loud noises coming from US weapons
instead killing baby boys'
mother Theresa is no longer with us
Neither her compatriot
Why do we feel childish
when thinking a world leader

up in the sky there were bombs
killing another girl
and her father
forgive them, for they know not
Israel, who are you
killing yesterday a nurse going home from her 3 days' shift
at the hospital children's eyes are turning inwards
Eyes that should be glimmering
in the sunlight of Gaza there is hardly water
Benjamin let them feel hunger and thirst
for life there will be post trauma
Out of their broken pride what will emerge?
Barack, Benjamin is not your friend
you can feel it
Now ask for the forgiveness that

Ode to the Palestinian Child
Have you ever read about an accident where a child was involved and died, and it was almost impossible to get rid of that sad feeling afterwards?
"I believe the children are our future"
Children are not supposed to die. Neither are they supposed to go through trauma, and when we see TV reports of war and horror, most of us try to protect our children, provide them with some sort of filter. The news anchor usually tells us if the images to be shown are too harsh for just anyone to see.
TV images. Our children here in Norway, most of us try to protect them from the most horrifying images of suffering or dead children, on TV, in the papers, on the internet. When it is inevitable that they do see and hear things, we talk to them, explain to them that they are safe. There is even a news program especially for children that presents the news as it should be presented to a child. We do not want our children to lie awake at night, terrified, without being able to sleep. Children's minds are vulnerable and children do not have the tools to cope with horror like we have as adults.
"Teach them well and let them lead the way
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier"
In Gaza these days, the children have been through hell, not because they were watching horrible things on TV, hell has been right there, where they should be safe, in their homes or even in UN schools. Whereas Israel knows children will be traumatized, that hundreds of children die, lose their siblings and parents, attacks have continued as if it did not matter. What does this tell these children about their human worth?
"Show them all the beauty they possess inside"
That is where my disbelief gets a hold of me. What Israel should be doing now is go through what happened when the first ten were killed in detail and ask for forgiveness. Ban Ki-moon said it: "Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children."
"Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be"
But Israel does not care about dead children; Israel is killing, according to Israeli discourse, to protect its own. Its own children are worth more. Palestinian children have that ethnic marker, the one that says it does not matter. Had they been Israeli children in the middle of Gaza this would not have been permitted. Netanyahu is showing the world his real face. While the world is watching, Palestinian children are continually slaughtered. Those who have the power to do something keep providing Israel with more bombs.
A little boy without parents
Carrying his six month old sister
No food, no water, no home
Israel has taken his all
His childhood gone,
Despair is left
And his little sister
Six months old
Barack is providing more bombs
Benjamin, ready to continue
His readiness
only to exist
with no concern for
this little boy
this little girl
Left with nothing
but trauma
And probably, in the future
Benjamin has said
the only way to negotiate with their kind is
beating them up.
Not once, but many times, until the pain is unbearable.

Google Assistant is a person of the world. A cosmopolitan AI, at ease in any environment or culture. To prove it, the voice assistant has now learned to speak two languages at once, giving Google Assistant the edge in bilingual households.
The new feature means you can alternate between two languages without having to change any settings on your Google Home or other Assistant-supporting device. You will, however, need to enable the feature first.
Read this: The best Google Assistant devices
Right now Assistant can speak English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese - but Google says it plans to add support for 30 languages by the end of the year.
How to make Google Assistant bilingual
Right now you can only select two languages for Google Assistant to recognize. To set this up, do the following:
1) Open the Google Home app.
2) Hit the hamburger menu in the top left corner.
3) Select More settings.
4) Tap Preferences.
5) Tap Assistant language.
You should see your default language, and underneath it, a plus symbol. Tap that to add your second language of choice. And then - that's it. Congratulations, your Google Assistant just became a little bit smarter. Fantastisch.

Amy and I had a three day weekend due to the Veterans Day holiday on Friday.
Amy flew out for Arizona early on Friday morning to visit her family for the weekend. My Mom and Dad took Raylan on Thursday and Friday (so I could get Amy to the airport, take care of a few errands, and see a few friends).
On Thursday night Amy and I got to go out for dinner before she went on her trip. We went to Curra's and had some Mexican food. We also watched The Warriors, which, surprisingly, Amy both suggested and enjoyed (she had never seen it and was intrigued by some clips she saw online). It was a nice evening.
Nothing makes your husband miss you like having a nice date night right before you jet out of town! ;-)
Anyway, I took Amy to the airport early on Friday morning. Then I went and and ate migas at La Posada. It was early, and the place was mostly empty, so I watched the news with the waitstaff and spent some time talking with them about the Trump win. Judging from what I heard, they were pretty freaked out. I'm guessing that not all of the people who work there are documented, so there's the specter of deportation hanging over the place (along with tons of other Texas businesses that rely on undocumented workers). I've been going to that place for over 10 years. Sad to see them all so down.
I've been trying to avoid the internet and the news ever since the election. But at some point you just can't avoid it, I guess.
I spent Friday, Veterans Day. shopping for a couple of new suits. I got a haircut. I went to see The Arrival while they were working on my suits.
The Arrival was a pretty good movie, but it was a little onerously self important, in my opinion. The movie clearly had a lot to say about the nature of "otherness" or the separation of the alien from the normal. (spoilers) By learning to understand the language of an alien race, Louise learns to experience time itself in an utterly new and different way, thereby changing the entire way that she comprehends and appreciates in life.
What the movie either intentionally or unintentionally passes over, however, is the possibility that people may not possess the inherent ability to ever truly understand the alien. Maybe the skills that understanding an alien mind are not something that we possess, as a consequence of our nature or our biology. Seems like it something more truly alien would be a more interesting turn of events, and very few movies address it. I guess that's more or less the theme of 2001, but it seems like there is still an awful lot of ground to cover in exploring that scenario.
For all of the talk of the utterly unfathomable natures of the aliens in the movie, ultimately we were given little evidence that their minds were all that different than our own- except with superpowers that let them see the future.
Furthermore, the movie conspicuously skips over the question of whether the ability to "see the future" means that humans are devoid of free will. This question is presented in the starkest of terms by the plot, but then ultimately never discussed in any meaningful sense (which feels very artificial when dealing with a protagonist who has the ability to see the future, but then fails to act upon that knowledge in any number of possible ways, even to protect those closest to her).
I thought that The Arrival was a good film, but not as smart as it found itself. For one thing, I think that, for a movie which seemed to be taking pride in presenting philosophical issues, it spent too much time on the very tired "will humanity irrationally destroy itself?" hand wringing. I also found the film's metaphor to be stretched a little thin. It's one thing to gain a different view of the world by learning to communicate in a different way. It's probably another thing to gain a new sensory ability itself simply by learning a new language.
I thought that the best moment in the film came as Louise diagrammed a sentence on a white board, giving examples to her colleagues of all of the different ways that an alien intelligence might be different than our own (e.g., do they have a concept of individual identity? do they have a concept of intent as opposed to acting out of pure instinct? etc.)
This felt like a movie, in the end, with a relatively thin examination of philosophical question, albeit wrapped up in a very nice, glossy, heart-tugging, critic-friendly package. (But it will probably end up receiving critical attention that would make it seem as thought none of these concepts had ever been asked before)
Anyway, in the end, The Arrival was worth seeing, and I'm probably being too hard on it. It just glossed over too many interesting things, in my opinion, but maybe those are the constraints of making a two hour movie as opposed to a book or a series.
|Here's how Dad spent his Veterans Day.
Thanks for your service, Dad!
(and the child care, too!)
In the evening I went out to dinner with my friend, James, at Pinthouse Pizza. Later our friend Robert joined us with his girlfriend, Laura. We ate pizza and drank beer and ultimately shut the place down around midnight. I rode my bike over there and back. Because beer.
On Saturday I went over to my parents' house to watch UT lose to West Virginia. It was a pretty good game, and, darn it, we were close. But we lost. Oh well.
I couldn't keep watching UT if I was gonna let their losses put me in a bad mood for very long.
Ryan and Jamie came over to watch the game, and it was good to see them. Raylan and I stayed until around dinner time. We went for a walk with Mom and talked to Dad and just sort of hung out.
On Sunday I got up and, after breakfast, took Raylan with me to run errands. We went to the grocery store, and Raylan got to ride in the race car shopping cart.
|"Hey! Hey! Trying merge, here, buddy!"
Raylan not only enjoyed the park, but also running up and down the ramps at the portable buildings at Joslin Elementary.
|"Mandy, I think this would work better if I could get in there to
pet the fish while I was feeding them."
|Hot Wheels just don't go out of style
It was also kind of good to just hang out with just the two of us for a little while. When Amy and Mom and other people aren't around, Raylan is more likely to give me a little bit more of his attention. He starts talking to me a lot more and bringing me his favorite toys and asking me for things that he wants and just sort of communicating with me a little differently. We both had a little bit of good bonding time.
But we'll be really happy to have Amy back!
And that was the weekend.
Hope you have a good week!

WWE Payback: CJ Blaze's Predictions
By CJ Blaze
Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow - Pre-Show Match
I was shocked that this was put on the pre-show, but maybe it will draw. I would've instantly thought Sheamus would go over, but Sandow might be getting a push. It's hard to say.
Winner: Sheamus
AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn © - Diva's Championship Match
I was not surprised by AJ/Big E coming out as the secret admirer. Unfortunately, Kaitlyn's reign hasn't meant anything, and AJ could be a breath of fresh air for the diva's division.
Winner: and new Diva's Champion, AJ Lee
Kane vs. Dean Ambrose © - United States Championship Match
I expected Bryan to be challenging for the U.S. title, but this should be a good bout. Obviously Ambrose isn't going to drop it so soon, and Kane needs to be challenging for a world title. I'm also predicting that the rest of The Shield will cost Kane the match.
Winner: Kane - by DQ, Ambrose retains
Orton and Bryan vs. Rollins and Roman Reigns © - Tag Team Championship Match
I thought Orton would be paired with Kane, but WWE probably did this to further an upcoming feud between Orton and Daniel. The Shield should and will go over. Orton will probably nail another RKO on Bryan at some point.
Winners: Rollins and Reigns - retain
Curtis Axel vs. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett © - Intercontinental Championship Match
If it wasn't for the concussion, Fandango would've walked out champion. Axel might be taking that spot now. I highly doubt Barrett will retain because his reign has been awful, and he's lost almost all of his matches. Miz needs something to get him over as a face, but I'm afraid he might come up short. Another reason Miz could win, is for Fandango to take it from him. Of course everyone is predicting Axel will win to keep his "streak" going, but I'm going with the dark horse anyways.
Winner: and new IC Champion, The Miz
Del Rio vs. Ziggler © - World Heavyweight Championship Match
I don't care for this match. It lacks build, honestly. Del Rio is over with the fans, but Ziggler will hold the title for at least one more month.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler - retain
Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk
I was totally surprised by this announcement! Not once did I think that this would be featured on the pay-per-view. I originally thought that Punk wouldn't show, and then Axel would replace him, but since he got put in the IC title match, it looks like Punk will be there. WWE can't advertise him and then not show up.
Winner: CM Punk
Ryback vs. John Cena © - Three Stages of Hell WWE Championship Match
I wasn't too crazy about the ambulance match stipulation, but now I'm pleased. This should be just as good if not better than their encounter at Extreme Rules. My only concern is the how long the entire match will be. Expect John "The Superhero" Cena to go over in this one.

I need help .
Hi , I just had surgery on my l4,l5 3 weeks ago . I am in pain but my question is I am having very bad headache . I don't know what to do about them ? Can any one help me ?
5 Responses
Hi Roseflower.
have you told your surgeon about these headaches? I had L4-L5 fused almost four yrs ago and then L5-S1 fused a yr ago and I never had any headaches after surgery, but I had a friend who had same surgry and suffered from migrane after. Her issue was spinal fluid leak. You need to contact your doctor to see if problem is medications or a number of other things.
I hope your headache goes away soon :) Wish you the best on your recovery
I absolutely agree that you should speak to your doctor. However, assuming the likely outcome that nothing out of order in that department, I would begin a relaxation and stress reduction immediately. Simple breathing techniques, basic meditation, gentle exercise and gratitude are some basic tools that I recommend to all my patients. You can find plenty of info on the web about all these things.
I agree with the others, call the surgeon's office. It could be something as simple as a "hangover" form anesthesia, good luck!
Hi Fred - Since you are a chiropractor, do you know anything about the DRX9000 machine for degenerative stenosis. It is supposed to replace surgery; however, it is very expensive. Please let me know. Thanks.
To be honest, I'm not a big fan. Decompression MIGHT help your back problem. My greater concern is that my experience tells me that back pain is ALWAYS a multi-faceted issue and to treat it just as a disc herniation (even if that does exist) does not produce true healing (ie: Wholeness). You may get symptomatic relief but, in my world, that is not enough. Good luck.

Every morning, I wake to his "yelling." He almost has the ability to interrupt the calmness and peacefulness of country life. But, only almost because after his initial 'outburst', he tends to go quiet for the rest of the day just going about his business. He is usually right outside my bedroom window and he does not stop his talking until I look out and see him and he looks at me. He stands there looking at the peach tree and awaits an answer….not from me but, I think , from 'his friend'. He is perched high in the oak tree and patiently waits for his friend to arrive but his friend never does. I am guessing it is a little game he likes to play with the other birds and with me.
And, then, in a quick swoop, he flies down to the bird feeder to munch on the suet that is there waiting for him. No other bird dares go near when he is having his breakfast. I think it is because he is so loud.
I think he and I have developed this understanding, of sorts, where as long as I stay far enough away from him and him to me, we are both comfortable and go about our days. I asked my hubby about this the other day. It seems like such a strange relationship…and he says all the jays he has known are like that. They are territorial in a way. They don't understand that THEY are the visitor.
Ha, I've met a few 'creatures' like that in life where they overstep the boundaries like this little guy does. I guess that can be seen in all forms of life too. Who knew? 🙂

We've all gone on holiday and dreamt of staying there forever. We imagine an idyllic lifestyle that's more akin to paradise than normal life, and it makes it all the more difficult to return home at the end of the trip. Maybe you've gone so far as to check out the local properties market, cost of living or available job prospects, or you've researched how much a move abroad would cost or the best way to learn the language.
Taking that next step and deciding to actually do it – to move to your own slice of heaven – is a huge undertaking and can be quite daunting. While it can be very exciting and easy to get swept away with the dream, it's important make a sound investment. Hopefully, the following tips will help you stay grounded.
If you're looking to treat yourself to a luxury property, then you'll definitely want to live the lifestyle that comes with it. That perfect lifestyle is going to vary from person to person, though. The key is to determine what "perfect" means to you. It could be living in complete solitude in a traditional country home; having a luxury Paris property with an unbeatable view of the Eiffel Tower; or being able to walk from your property right down to the beach. Think about your interpretation of a dream home and life, then make a list of the details. A few helpful questions are:
Your home market doesn't necessarily reflect the real estate market at your chosen destination, so it's important to research the property for that specific location. Here are a few questions to get you started:
These questions are difficult to answer on your own, especially if you have limited (or no) experience in the country.
However, this is where the specialist services of a buyer's agent can be invaluable. Tim Swannie of Home Hunts, a luxury buyers' agent in France explained, "A buyer's agent will work on your behalf and will have an in-depth knowledge of the local housing market. As property experts, they will be able to guide you through the whole process from finding a selection of properties that closely meet your search criteria, to making an offer and guiding you through the conveyancing process".
Buying property means that large amounts of money are going to be exchanged for the destination country's currency. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the local currency value as well as exchange rates. Keep track of exchange rates so that you can exchange your money when the rate is in your favor. When it comes to making payments throughout the buying process, the best option is to set up a local bank account in your new country so that transactions are smooth.
Building on what we just talked about, it should be at the top of your list to learn the tax laws and legislation of your destination country. You have to know what costs you'll be required to pay so that you can add these into your budget. Examples include:
A property valuation is a professional assessment of the property that's conducted by a neutral party. The price of the property will be assessed, which includes the worth of the buildings, environment, land and any other features that could influence the property's value. Buyers will sometimes skip this step because it's logistically challenging to arrange it when you're in another country. However, having a property valuation done is an integral part of any property transaction, and it's even more important considering how far you'll be moving for your new home.
The further you are from your property, the more difficult it is to develop a relationship with the agents and vendors you'll be dealing with. When talking about the title and ownership, be extra cautious – if the sale is completed while there's still debt on the property, that debt will be passed along to you. Also, if the developer has borrowed money to complete work on the house and that money hasn't been repaid in full, you could be liable for repayment and associated charges.
Unless you're going to live in your new home full-time, you'll need a plan for how to care for the home when you're not there. You'll want it ready to use whenever you return, and you'll also want to make sure it's safe during your time away. It's possible to find a home that's located in a managed community, which means that housekeeping, landscaping and other types of maintenance will be taken care of for you. Another option is to hire a handy man or management company who will handle maintenance and alert you to any problems that arise.
If you're going to be relocating to a country where they speak a foreign language, you'll eventually need to become fluent in that language (and immersion is an excellent teacher). Since you won't be able to get up to speed between now and when you buy your property, though, you'll want to hire a professional, neutral translator who has knowledge of conveyancing. If you are using the services of a property buyer's agent, they will be able to advise and guide you through the buying process.
Buying a home is undoubtedly a complex process, but purchases overseas property poses even more of a challenge. With the right plan and support behind you, you'll be able to find the property of your dreams and live the idyllic lifestyle you've been dreaming of.

Ginkaku-Ji, Kyoto
Mankind's various religions share common features because they arise from a common root; and that root, if we understand it as a strongly convergent principle, indicates that religion isn't an accident or an artifact, a relic of primitive beliefs; it is a consequence and a necessity, a conscious awareness and a force produced, like everything else, by the strict conditions imposed by physics and chemistry. We can't, in other words, be different than what we are; and no matter how many differences we want to invent and impose upon our many and varied religious practices, ultimately, they keep defaulting back towards like sets of principles and ideas.
Everything, in other words, serves a higher and unseen purpose; world religions are convergent in the same way that biological structures are convergent, and for much the same reasons. This strongly resembles both Swedenborg's world of correspondences and Gurdjieff's world of laws; signs and symbols are not only imaginative and interactive, creative and mutable, they are also universal and consistent. We thus find no surprise when we see similar ideas, similar artworks, similar rituals, practices, and traditions arising around the world: they are manifestations of a lawful condition that must be the way it is, not a random set of choices which man can adopt or discard at his discretion.
This idea, in fact, that we can adopt or discard anything we want to at our discretion is a distinctly modern one. Our sciences have infused us with an arrogance of circumstance that presumes to divorce us from everything that has come before; in abandoning tradition and abandoning the deep need of the inner psyche to address religious tradition and sacred impulses, we abandon what makes us human; we abandon the ecosystem, we abandon our relationship to nature, and we allow ourselves a latitude for destruction which can only destroy us, in the end, because we really have no right to abandon the tradition that is so essential to our biology and our nature.
One of the reasons for my long-standing editorial association with Parabola Magazine is not just that I am a writer interested in spiritual matters; it stems from my conviction that the magazine's mission is absolutely essential in a world that is steadily abandoning this line of inquiry in favor of a technological disaster.
Taken from the perspective I am developing here, our spiritual traditions are not an option; they are an imperative, an imperative that is getting lost in the noise we create. Knitting the convergence of spiritual and artistic tradition back together, into a more comprehensible whole, is an essential task in front of the human species today, because within this action lies the potential for us to learn how to respect and love each other in a new and more expansive way.
Understanding the deeply biological and spiritual nature of this impulse towards the sacred in both organisms and ancient societies forms a bridge to discovering it in our modern ones; and so, when we encounter the Mayans, who seem on the surface to be so different than what we are, but were in the end so identical, we look into a mirror that provides us with a window on a commonality of practice.
Just as creatures are organisms, our individual psyches are organisms, and cultures and civilizations are, equally, organisms. All of them are subject to similar rules in terms of their complexity, their inner and outer organization, their evolution, and their dependence on other organisms for their very existence. It's easy for us to measure, using scientific instruments and statistics, the physical and outward interaction of biological organisms, but we seem to have failed to learn the lesson of how our inwardly formed ideas, consciousness itself, is subject to the same rules and laws as biological organisms. People grow, evolve, and dies; cultures grow, evolve, and die. We all have death in common; Gurdjieff felt that recognizing this had the potential to bring us to a new respect for others; yet we all also have life in common, and if we discover the common threads within our consciousness of the sacred and our respect for it, perhaps we can find new ways to live together — which we are not so good at — as opposed to new ways to die together, a practice which we have been developing a distressing expertise in.

Provision of Executive Recruiting Services for Metrolinx
1.0 General
Metrolinx will be issuing this Request to Qualify and Quote to retain the services of a Vendor, described herein. Metrolinx intends to notify a Proponent of acceptance of its Submission and enter into a Contract through an open, fair and competitive process.
If you are interested please complete the attached Non-disclosure Agreement. The CLOSING DATE for submitting the Non-disclosure Agreement is June 12, 2019 at 3:00:00 p.m. Toronto time. All Vendors who submit an executed Non-disclosure Agreement will be invited to submit a Submission for Request No.s RQQ-2019-HRDV-305 and RQQ-2019-HRDV-312, as required by Metrolinx for the Provision of Executive Recruiting Services.
2.0 Introduction
Metrolinx is a crown agency of the Government of Ontario under the Metrolinx Act, 2006, reporting to the Ministry of Transportation. It was created to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Metrolinx mandate includes delivering the best possible transportation services today while leading the way to an even better, more convenient service tomorrow; making the best possible use of public transportation investment dollars; and measurably improving the quality of life in the region.
3.0 Background
Metrolinx continues to grow and expand its reach and connect communities in a better, faster and easier way. On May 2, 2019, the Ontario government introduced legislation to transfer ownership of four (4) transit expansion projects in Toronto to the Province. Bill 107, The Getting Ontario Moving Act, assigns responsibility for designing and constructing subways and managing the projects to the provincial agency Metrolinx. Bill 107 includes five (5) separate schedules, with Schedule 3 pertaining to Metrolinx. Schedule 3 amends the 2006 Metrolinx Act, allowing the Lieutenant Governor in Council to relegate sole responsibility for rapid transit design, development or construction projects to Metrolinx. The government may transfer assets, liabilities, rights and obligations related to that project to Metrolinx. Transit projects may be subject to the Minister's direction and the Minister may issue directives to the City of Toronto and its agencies about that project. These proposed changes will impact the roles and responsibilities of Metrolinx and its employees. As a result, Metrolinx is looking for a firm to keep source expert executive transit talent.
The government expects to pass this bill before the legislature rises for the summer on June 6, 2019 and noting that the Act only applies to new lines or extension of those already in place.
4.0 Objective
The objective of the Request to Qualify and Quote (RQQ) is to solicit proposals from Proponents for the provision of Executive Recruiting Services for serveral roles. The requirements will be more particularly described in Scope of Work of the Request Document when issued.

No Pricing

Hi everyone this is another of my 1/144 kit i have done a while ago. It one of the 1/144 HGUC Zaku I Sniper. This kit has been pre-shaded in a more darker theme which is later known as my visual style pre-shading. I have replace the normal Mono-eye that comes with the kit on it head and replace it with the bright shining convex lens. I use a different diameter for the sniper rifle scope as you have seen in the picture. The base has been custom-made to replica a sandy war-field completed with tank's tracks imprinting and a small piece of armor with the Zeon Insignal crafted onto it to show it being blown off from some of the Zeon Mobile Suits during the war.
