What is Qi Gong ?
Qi Gong (Chi Kung) means 'energy practice' and began around the time of the Yellow Emperor 4500 years ago. It is deeply intertwined with the philosophy of Tao and the Chinese way of life where it is taught in schools, universities and hospitals. Originally, Qi Gong was based on Taoist and Buddhist healing techniques to improve the flow of Qi (natural healing energy) between humans and nature, and was practiced as a daily self-renewal method to tune the body, breath and mind and bring them into unity.
Popular styles of Qi Gong include; Medical Qi Gong which uses herbs, massage and acupuncture; Martial Qi Gong is practiced by martial artists to increase fighting power; Spiritual Qi Gong is practiced by monks to energize the brain for enlightenment. However, the most popular style is Health Qi Gong which encourages a regular practice of deep breathing, stretching, energy meditation and healthy diet to increase the quantity and quality of Qi in your body which can increase strength and vitality and help you maintain a healthy active life.
Nei Gong & Wai GongGenerally speaking all Qi Gong practices can be divided into two categories: Nei Gong (internal training) and Wai Gong (external training). Understanding the difference between them will give you an overview of most styles of Chinese Qi Gong, and increase the effectiveness of your practice according to the training theory and methods of your Qi Gong tradition.
- Nei Gong is regarded as an internal practice that focuses more on mental training. It emphasizes relaxed muscles and mind power to build Qi in the lower abdomen and centre, which then flows out to the organs and throughout the meridian system and whole body. Nei Gong is mainly based on relaxed training exercises, and normal abdominal breathing (Zheng Hu Xi) to increase the effectiveness of leading Qi inwards.
- Wai Gong is regarded as an external practice that focuses more on physical training. It emphasizes stimulated muscles to build Qi in the skin, arms, legs and extremities, which then flows in to the organs and throughout the meridian system and whole body. Wai Gong is mainly based on vigorous training exercises, and reverse abdominal breathing (Ni Hu Xi) to increase the effectiveness of leading Qi outwards.
How It Works
Health Qi Gong is a unique and comprehensive approach to personal development based on Yin Yang philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine for cultivating Qi, where good health is regarded as a result of a free-flowing, well-balanced energy system. Physical, mental and emotional illness occurs when Qi flow is blocked or impeded, or when there is excess or deficient water (Kan) and fire (Li) causing imbalance and dysfunction in the body's energy system. With regular practice Health Qi Gong cleanses the body of toxins, restores energy and balance, reduces stress and anxiety, and helps maintain a healthy and active life.
Health Qi Gong practitioners can practice both Nei Gong and Wai Gong , depending on your Qi Gong tradition, to develop sensitivity to Yin Yang imbalances in the body, and learn to guide their energy back into balance. This can lead to self-healing skills and the ability to work with the natural energies of the universe to heal one self and others. Mastering these skills takes many years of training, patience and effort, leading to profound wisdom and spiritual growth, and what the ancient masters refer to as 'Becoming One with the Tao'.
5 Fundamentals of Qi Gong
The body communicates with the mind through your feelings which are transmitted through the nervous system. The first step in connecting your mind and body is by developing your internal vision and listening skills (Ting Jin). Listening is extremely important in sensing your feelings, which are the Yin and Yang changes in the body and mind, and sending accurate information to the brain. Yin and Yang can be: insubstantial or substantial; small or big; closing or opening; bending or extending; inhaling or exhaling; rising or falling; soft or hard; internal or external; coming or going; passive or active; retreating or advancing; defensive or offensive; gathering or releasing; etc. Developing this sensitivity is extremely important to the success of your practice, requiring a calm mind (Yi) with full awareness in the present moment capable of accurate listening.
The length and depth of your training and experience (Gong Fu) helps you to judge what you are feeling and understand the yin and yang changes in your body and mind. This allows you to decide on a proper strategy, make appropriate adjustments in the way you train, and how you live your life according to your lifestyle and environment. By developing these understanding skills (Dong Jin) you can awaken your inner guru and start to rely on intuitive wisdom (Yi). You should always remember that Yin and Yang are mutually exchangeable, and ponder this theory by searching for the applications. If you are able to understand the theory of Yin and Yang and know their applications, then your comprehension will become deep and your knowledge profound.
Relaxation can release energy that is trapped in the body and allows it to flow freely through your whole being. To create the optimum structure for smooth and efficient Qi flow, you must reduce all resistance (Wu Wei) that blocks the energetic system. This requires maintaining correct body alignment (Chong Ting), and body mechanics based on optimum structure (Song), sinking (Chen), opening (Kai), and most important raising your spirit of vitality (Xu Ling Ding Jin). This means activating the tendons more than the muscles, and using intention of the mind rather than brute force. With meditation you learn to neutralize the emotional mind (Xin) which can cause mental resistance and hinder focused attention. Only then can you open the energy gates of your mind and body and unite with the qi of nature, and realize your oneness with nature.
To energize the body with life force energy you must understand the Three Treasures (San Bao) and how to combine pre-natal Jing (anti-aging hormones) with post-natal Qi (air, food, water) and unite them with Shen your spirit. But it is your breathing that stimulates the Jing and Qi to unite and produce your life force energy. Therefore, integrating correct abdominal breathing into your movements and meditations is essential in the production and storage of energy in the body. This leads to harmonizing your breath (Xi) with your spirit (Shen). When your spirit seems to be doing the breathing you can control the energy flow more efficiently. Advanced techniques include reverse abdominal breathing (Ni Hu Xi), and martial grand circulation (Da Zhou Tian) for manifesting Qi power (Jin).
A relaxed mind is a useful mind. Therefore, you need to learn how to be calm and focused with clear intentions. Usually most beginners with an untrained mind are slaves to their emotions, confusing impulsive living for freedom. However, when the emotional mind (Xin) is neutralized, and the wisdom mind (Yi) is increased, the mind becomes more balanced with harmonious thoughts leading to 'one mind' (Wu Xin). To maximize the desired effects of your meditation and movements, use your feelings to detect and identify the current situation so your 'one mind' can decide on the proper strategy, which can then direct the Qi with clarity. Your mind is considered the most important component to successful training, and plays an important role in mutually combining your spirit (Shen) and energy (Qi) which control the water (Kan) and fire (Li) in your body: the keys to balancing the health of your whole being.

Coronation Street has just upped its glamour stakes considerably – by bringing in an actual glamour model!
Mancunian Beth Morgan has reportedly bagged a role on the show after previously doing background work on the series.
The model is set to star alongside Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, in a storyline due to air early in the new year.
Beth says she's got a bigger role than as an extra – which she's done recently, appearing in the background of scenes with Kim Marsh and Michelle Connor.
She is scheduled to work alongside Bethany Platt in Weatherfield's gentleman's club.

Beth took to Snapchat to post a picture of herself in a racy set of underwear with the caption: "Never thought I would be wearing this at corrie."
An insider at Corrie told The Sun: "Becoming a lapdancer is about having control over men for Bethany.
"She feels she has power over the punters she's dancing for because they are paying to watch her but can't touch her.
"She pities them for wanting her and the fact she refuses to take all her clothes off helps her feel like she's the one calling the shots."
Corrie bosses have also spoken of a new romance on the cards for Bethany, with show producer Kate Oates dropping a hint about her love life.
Kate said: "In news that should gladden the heart of even the most Scrooge-like curmudgeon – Bethany will embark on a tentative romance with Craig. Glad tidings indeed!"
Lucy Fallon recently picked up the gong for Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards 2017.
Her character had been groomed by twisted Nathan Curtis, leading to several intense scenes where she showed off her acting range.

MAD Arkitekter nature town celebrates the beautiful landscape of Martineåsen
MAD Arkitekter have planned a new district in Martineåsen, Norway, that is aimed at celebrating the beautiful landscape of the area while offering the qualities of a small-town community.
Martineåsen Nature Town has been designed in partnership with Larvik Municipality, in which Martineåsen is situated.
MAD sought to avoid what it saw as the typical suburban development of Norwegian city outskirts, with the extensive land-use, need for car ownership, infrastructure requirements and uninspiring environments.
At Martineåsen, it first identified a site with forest surroundings and in close proximity to streams, wetlands, meadows and local farmland.
The layout draws inspiration from hill town, forest cluster and eco-village typologies, with each plot having its own identity.
Houses are arranged around an open court, with an urban landscape of interconnecting streets as well as a variety of semi-private courtyards and community spaces.
Plot sizes are moderated to ensure small and private developers have a chance to build, thereby also encouraging diverse architecture.
Lasse Lyhne-Hansen of MAD Arkitekter told CLAD: "Local shops and amenities are in walking distance and have enough features to make an inclusive conurbation, where the town is both exciting to live in and inviting for residents of neighbouring towns."

Without consulting a detailed OS map I couldn't give you the exact height
difference between Llantisilio (Horseshoe Falls) and Pontcysyllte, but it
must be measurable as according to my notes this section feeds an average 6
million gallons daily into the canal! I would imagine that the limiting
factor with regards to the incline would be the speed of the current, as
from Llangollen Town Wharf down the canal was a working waterway.

Subject: Inclination to canal, was weighbridges
Keith Hunt asked about the inclination of the Llangollen Canal from
Horseshoe falls to Pontcysyllte.
According to the diagrams along the canal, none - it is level. However water
does flow from the first to the second as this is a flowing canal,
originally built as a feeder, which flows eastwards; so there must be some
slight declension

Objective: Patients' non-adherence to medical prescriptions is a crucial issue in contemporary medicine because it can jeopardize care efficacy. Non-adherence is especially frequent in patients with chronic diseases. In this article, we propose that a particular condition, which we call disruption in time projection, is a cause of non-adherence to medication therapies in chronic diseases.
Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 120 hospitalized people with type 2 diabetes addressing three psychological constructs defining time projection: patience/impatience in a fictive monetary scenario (preferring to receive €1,500 in 1 year or €500 today), magnitude of temporal horizon (greater or lesser ability to imagine future events) and perception of the degree of physical similarity of current self to self at 1 year, 5 years and 10 years from the present. In addition, the questionnaire evaluated adherence to medication, social deprivation and depression.
Results: In the multivariate analyses, two factors were associated with adherence to medication: patience (P<0.001) and long temporal horizon (P=0.006). Two factors were associated with HbA1c ≥8% (64 mmol/mol): non-adherence to medication (P=0.003) and short temporal horizon (P=0.011). Three factors were associated with long temporal horizon: adherence to medication (P<0.001), patience (P<0.001) and the existence of grandchildren (P=0.002). Social deprivation (P<0.001), non-adherence (P<0.001), female gender (P=0.002) and short temporal horizon (P=0.050) were associated with impatience. Finally, an association of adherence to expected similarity in the future to current self, impatience, short temporal horizon, social deprivation and depression was also shown in a multiple correspondence analysis.
Conclusion: What we termed a disruption in time projection may be a unique determinant for non-adherence to long-term therapy and, therefore, may influence the outcome of chronic diseases. We hypothesize that this is involved in both intentional and unintentional non-adherence and that it represents the loss of a protective mechanism. If this novel concept is to be confirmed in other settings and generalized to other chronic diseases, the recognition of its role in disease prognosis may help orient the teaching and practice of medicine.
Keywords: adherence, temporal horizon, impatience, disruption in time projection, social deprivation, depression, type 2 diabetes, chronic diseases

Created attachment 1235583 [details]
Description of problem:
By default if I am using xfce 4, the notification comes out in top right of the screen, regardless of what's behind. So if volume is in the same position, it makes hard to adjust volume control
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 25 XFCE
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora XFCE and log in
2. Adjust volume from the volume icon
Actual results:
Volume adjust area are mostly covered by notification
Expected results:
Notify don't cover the volume control
Additional info:
See the attached ogv video if the steps is not clear enough for you.
I remember some newer version of Fedora 24 XFCE also have this issue.
And currently the workaround is simple, but not user-friendly enough, either
run xfce4-notifyd-config and change the Default Position to somewhere else, or
move the volume control from the default position to somewhere else.
But I hope there is a much user-friendly default settings for users.
Well, I am not sure if other locations are too much better... each has tradeoffs.
This might be a good discussion for the fedora-xfce list. Would you be willing to bring it up there? Or if not, I can do so...
Fine, I just send it to the list
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Is this still an issue or should we close this bug?

Oh the 90's, we will forever miss you. I know there is a whole 90's revival thing going on in fashion and all that jazz at the moment, but nothing will ever replace a decade that seems like it was happenin' yesterday. Then I realize that it was actually years ago and I am getting older, each day one step closer to death…
But anyhoo, Hi-Fi Fight Club smacks us right in the middle of 1998 where our main character Chris has landed her dream job at a record shop. She struggles finding her footing until her three coworkers open her eyes to their secret world and reveal that they are in a rad Girl Gang, and run a secret Fight Club.Obligatory "Teen Spirit" reference here, and we're off!
Chris's favorite band, Stegosour, is missing their bad ass babe lead singer, Rosie Riot, and the four empowered ladies are putting together clues to find her. Because Chris is a self-proclaimed Biggest Fan, she proves to be a big asset as the newest member to the Fight Club, and learns more about the three women around her in the process.
I will say the jumping into the third issue in the series had me a bit lost on the story, and the reader will definitely have to go back and chase the waterfalls of the first two issues to really understand what's going on. That being said, Carly Usdin's story is easy to follow and even easier to get sucked into. The writing is clear, well-presented, and has the warm quirkiness that will appear to the large majority of people looking to read an enjoyable story. Each character is well-defined, and I feel that's due to Nina Vakueva's overall design. The book doesn't immediately scream "Hey this is the 90's!!!" but you get the picture with the various mentions of pop culture and the fact that the girls work in a record store full of CD's. Remember those?
The inking work of Irene Flores gives life to the world of Hi-Fi Fight Club, and I really enjoyed the little sketch details the pop up every so often. Being the decade of Grunge, inking styles from our present decade would simply not fit the story, and I'm glad to see the small little aspects like a stray ink link just to give it the tiniest bit of edge. Without it, Rebecca Nalty's beautiful and smooth colors would look just a little too polished to fit the time period. Rebecca's colors are eye-catching and vibrant, though we see a lot of pastels throughout the book, but it works quite marvelously and prevents the book from trying to hard and looking too dated.
A quote from Irene, the boss lady: "It's more than just fighting crime and beating on bad guys though – we pledge to fight all forms of injustice: sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia,transphobia…we stand up for the little guys." Yes, yes, and more yes. This kind of story is what we need right now because let's be honest, the world is a toilet sandwich on a trash plate, and it's so damn invigorating to have this kind of story with these kind of powerful female characters.

American Expat in the Philippines. Iloilo City. Retired. Lazy. Everybody does everything for me. Well, almost everything. I do pee on my own. Living in "paradise." Getting older. The Black Forest cake from the Red Ribbon bakery at SM City (see next photo) was purchased by my asawa to celebrate my recent 61st birthday. But I don't mind getting older. I'm one step closer to collecting my Social Security.
While we didn't have all the bells and whistles that the recent Chinese New Year celebration in Iloilo had, as shown in the next shot, we had a fair amount of merrymaking. Our twin nieces, April and Michelle, and nephew Sharwen and niece Shaina were at the party. Since they live with us, I thought they might as well attend the festivities.
We didn't take a cruise to celebrate. The following vessel, the Cokaliong, that I always see at the Parola Dock in Iloilo, doesn't carry passengers. But we are planning a trip to Bacolod, "The City of Smiles," soon. It's the most populous city in Western Visayas with 511,000 residents, and my asawa and I have never been there. Should make for a good mini-vacation in the Philippines.
We'll take a 2GO Travel cruiser from Iloilo like the one depicted below to get to Bacolod, about an hour from Iloilo.
But it was cake and ice cream along with a spaghetti dinner to celebrate my recent birthday. I was happy with that. We don't need to go out and spend a lot of money on some fancy shindig. Next year, however, is a different story. While we probably won't be attending the "School of Jesus" in nearby Guimaras (which actually might not be a bad idea), I will be treating everyone to a big birthday bash at Pizza Hut or Shakey's.
Good thing I'll have that extra cash from my Social Security then because I'll need it. Both these pizzeras aren't cheap. And I'm all about living as frugally as possible in the Philippines but sometimes you have to let loose and have some fun.
And any time spent with my lovely asawa (shown in the photo above) and our crew of relatives that live with us is a good time. But I guess the party really got started after I went to bed (remember, I'm an old geezer that goes to sleep by nine pm and is up between 3 and 4 am. I was sound asleep by the time the following pictures were taken.)
Here's April on the left standing next to my beautiful asawa, their Tita Daday. Michelle is on the right. The twins are using the classic pose that they think means they're cute. I call it the "L" for "loser's" pose.
And the picture above depicts April and Michelle in a posing standoff with tita. I don't know which twin won. April might weigh a little less than her sister, but she's still tough. They both can't keep up with Dad, however. I might be 61 years old but I smoked both of them in a fast-walking competition the other night.
I had gone out to the main gate in our Savannah Subdivision to surprise my asawa and the twins. They had gone out to buy some vegetables and fish at the local market. Nothing was on television and I was getting bored. My other niece and my nephew were at home but they're about as quiet as a Cistercian monk. Frankly, I might as well be talking to the wall.
The trio approached the gate. They turned a corner and they spotted me. Told them I was bored and decided to help them carry their groceries home. I grabbed one of the heaviest bags that was full of vegetables. Soon April and Michelle passed the old man up. "Go ahead of me," I said, "you're both 42 years older than me." I let them walk ahead of me before I kicked it in.
I soon passed Michelle and edged her off the sidewalk onto the main road. Then I briskly walked past April. It wasn't long before I was way in front of the crew. My own asawa wisely did not compete. I heard the group making comments in their native Ilonggo, but I paid no attention to the "trash talk." I ended up five minutes ahead of everyone. Not bad for an old man.
Now that I've caught my breath, days later, I'll close with this last photo. It's Michelle and Shaina, in one of her lighter moments. This American expat in the Philippines is getting older. And I'm loving it.

Tomorrow's Theater ... Today
Now that you've picked this week's league, check out these upcoming movies related to this week's "Dolittle" and "Bad Boys for Life."
Onward (3/6/2020)
Two of the voice actors in this week's "Dolittle" are Tom Holland (as a dog who wears glasses) and Octavia Spencer (as a duck with a metal leg), and they're both among the top four stars listed in the trailers for Pixar's upcoming fantasy comedy, "Onward." Tom Holland and Chris Pratt star in "Onward" as two elf brothers who off on a quest to restore the life of their long-lost father. "Onward" is set in a modern day world inhabited by all sorts of different magical creatures, including centaurs, cyclops, mermaids, unicorns, and manticore (Octavia Spencer is voicing one). Julia Louis-Dreyfus voices the two brothers' mom, and no one has been announced yet about who might be voicing their dad (though one can guess it's probably someone famous too). "Onward" will be the second Pixar feature film directed by Dan Scanlon, after the 2013 sequel, "Monsters University."
The Lovebirds (4/3/2020)
Another of the voice stars of "Dolittle" is Kumail Nanjiani (as an ostrich who wears socks). Nanjiani spent much of the last year working out to get in shape for his upcoming Marvel movie, "The Eternals" (11/6/2020), but before that filmed, he also snuck in the upcoming romantic comedy, "The Lovebirds." Kumail Nanjiani and his costar Issa Rae play a couple who accidentally become involved with a murder case, leading to them being the main suspects and on the run as they attempt to clear their names. The trailer promises more of an action comedy than we might have expected based on just the title. It also sort of resembles the 2010 action comedy, "Date Night," starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Also see if you can spot the movie being spoofed in the scene that Issa Rae describes as being like "The Handmaid's Tale" (clue: it's not really like "The Handmaid's Tale").
No Time to Die (4/10/2020)
"Dolittle" has so many big names in its voice cast that it's probably not surprising that there are a few movies coming up that have more than one (like "Onward"). Two of those voice stars are Rami Malek (as Chee-Chee the gorilla) and Ralph Fiennes (as the tiger who wants to eat Dolittle), and they're also both going to be in the next James Bond movie, "No Time to Die." Ralph Fiennes will be reprising his role as the new "M," and Rami Malek will be the franchise's latest villain, Safin, although we don't know much else about his character yet. The "No Time to Die" trailer reveals that Daniel Craig will be reunited with a few different actors from his previous films, including Léa Seydoux (as Dr. Madeleine Swann), Christoph Waltz (as Ernst Blofeld), and Jeffrey Wright (as Felix Leitner).
Charm City Kings (4/10/2020)
In addition to starring in movies like "Bad Boys for Life," Will Smith is also active as a producer with his company, Overbrook Entertainment. Their next film will be "Charm City Kings," which is a dramatic adapatation of the 2013 documentary, "12 O'Clock Boys," about young men in Baltimore who compete as dirt bike racers there. In a way, the trailer sort of resembles the original 2001 film, "The Fast and the Furious," when the focus was more about street racing than breathtaking international heist schemes.
Black Widow (5/1/2020)
Robert Downey Jr. famously said good-bye to his "Iron Man" character in last year's "Avengers: Endgame," but there are rumors online that he will reprise his Tony Stark character in Scarlett Johansson's upcoming "Black Widow" solo movie. Both of the trailers we've seen so far seem to suggest that "Black Widow" will be a prequel, so it makes sense that Downey could return as Tony Stark regardless of what happened in "Avengers: Endgame" (the same could be said of Scarlett Johansson, too, actually).
The Woman in the Window (5/15/2020)
It will soon be almost a year since Disney finalized their acquisition of the 20th Century Fox film and TV properties, but the movie business takes so long that we're still in the process of seeing those final pre-Disney Fox movies getting released. One of the most star-studded such films that will finally be released in May is "The Woman in the Window," a suspense thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Amy Adams plays an agoraphobic shut-in who witnesses a woman being murdered (Julianne Moore) only to be confronted by another woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who claims to be the murdered woman. The composer of "The Woman in the Window" is fan favorite Danny Elfman, who also scored this week's "Dolittle."
Top Gun: Maverick (6/26/2020)
Michael Bay didn't return to direct "Bad Boys for Life," but the sequel was still produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Bay's frequent collaborator who also produced the first two "Bad Boys" movies. Jerry Bruckheimer's next film will also be a sequel, as Tom Cruise is returning this summer for "Top Gun: Maverick." The latest trailer focuses more on other characters, especially those played by Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller (reportedly Goose's son), and other young pilots who Maverick is recruited to train.

Northern Research Station
One Gifford Pinchot Drive
Madison, WI 53726
(608) 231-9318
County: Alexander
Forest: Shawnee
District: Jonesboro
Established: 1991
Acres: 535
Description: The RNA contains relatively undisturbed examples of hill prairie, dry upland forest, dry-mesic upland forest, and mesic upland forest natural community types. The RNA includes the major part of the Ozark Hill Prairies Natural Area, which is significant because of its very high quality loess hill-prairie natural community and the presence of the uncommon timber rattlesnake (Crotalis horridus). The southern blazing star (Liatris squarrulosa) has been found within the RNA and will be probably be listed as a State Endangered Species in the near future.
Nearest weather station, with distance and direction from RNA: Climatological information is taken from the collection station at Anna, IL, which has records dating from 1951. The station is located 10.8 miles (17.4 km) to the northeast of the RNA.
Annual precipitation (type, seasonal distribution) : The annual precipitation averages approximately 45 inches (114 cm), and ranges between 30 and 70 inches (76.2-177 cm). Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. Average annual snowfall is about 9 inches (22.8 cm), but in one-third of the winters, average annual snowfall is less than 5 inches (12.7 cm).
Maximum and minimum temperatures : July is normally the warmest month, with temperatures averaging 90 °F. January is normally the coldest month. Although similar temperatures may occur in February, the cold spells are usually of shorter duration. Below zero temperatures occur about twice in 5 years.
Elevation: Relief is great, with the ridge top rising over 400 feet (121.9 m) above the valley of Ripple Hollow.
Geology and Soils: The RNA is on the high bluffs that form the east wall of the Mississippi River valley in southern Illinois. It sits on a narrow, northerly-trending, main ridge with long lateral ridges in all directions. Closely-spaced and steep-sided canyons extend from floodplains to the crest. Massive gray limestone of the Devonian Bailey Formation forms the bedrock, and Devonian chert of the Grassy Knob Formation underlies the upper slopes. Thick deposits of silty loess dating from the Pleistocene are found on the ridges and to a lesser extent on the slopes. Most of the soils on the narrow ridge crests are Alford silt, with Elsah silt loam in the valleys.
Aquatic Features: Drainage from the RNA is into the Mississippi River, via Ripple Hollow on the eastern side of the ridge and via Clear Creek Ditch and Dongola and Happy Hollows on the western side of the ridge. The drainage pattern is grossly reticulate, with dendritic tributary patterns in the lateral valleys. There is a suggestion that springs may be present, associated with the Bailey limestone, although they have not been identified.

Licking my fuck buddy Inkerman Ferry NB, so it was an overstated version of the fact. As in, a lie. Yet I didn't have the heart to rip apart the man's beliefs and inform him that it frightened the heck out of me that he assumed his God had sent me to wed him after a couple of hours of vocal singing in a filthy bar.
" What Can you Enjoy most about your Hometown? " That can be a somewhat unusual question. Where you are from, most people ask. It's a method for finding out more about someoneyou're considering.
Let's assume that the majority of your contacts will probably be good- natured and not cranky. The very first thing if the message is good- natured to do is to look at the sender's profile.

The Celebrity Although we're all on the exact same planet, celebrities reside in a universe. For whatever their talent, or lack thereof because reality celebrities have discovered, their experience affects, and of course their strategy.
When the internet came right into being, nobody would certainly have believed that it would eventually become what it is today and what it is growing to become in the coming years.

You are an independent person, and you have full right to alter your point of view, so what is the harm in checking the waters? So, keep all the above factors in mind and after that shortlist the appropriate people you intend to Inkerman Ferry New Brunswick. Do not have also big a checklist and do not be extremely selective either. We can make our very own opinion, have our very own judgment, but in the end, people may become various than your ideas and conceptions.
She will begin sharing more and more things. You Inkerman Ferry New Brunswick backpage escorts services have more and more discussions with her. This will boost your chance of getting a date. As the chance of her getting impressed is dependent upon how long you are having with her.
While one person might have only minor difficulties with confidence and getting back out there, another might feel overcome with anxiety. Regardless, I feel this class gives you the route to take yourself from where you are now to a more confident, inspiring you.
- DON'T compose an autobiography. Overly long profiles generally get skipped over. And over- sharing yourself is improper and dangerous. - DO use appropriate grammar, spelling and punctuation. You don't wish to seem idle or unintelligent. Do not write likeyou're texting. Use sentences. Do not abbreviate words( don'tuse'u' insteador'you' for example) .
After all these years of coming, failing, all the things, create outs, awkward silences and rejections I have been through, I still read books on dating and attraction and psychology. I still continue to grow and learn new things, make mistakes.
This means having the power to do your own thing, as well as encouraging and supporting others to do their own thing in life. And above all strength means having the ability to evaluate challenging conditions in life, and then act in a mature and decisive manner to solve by doing anything needs to be done, and cure.
I am not just talking about" telling the truth" type honesty( although that surely does affect your self- esteem, as well) . I'm talking about something deeper than this, which is our own personal values.
Allow's take a fast look at 2different type of body language. Spontaneous and also voluntary body movement, they can say a great deal concerning an individual. Just how can you inform, which is which? Below are a few instances of each.
Inkerman Ferry New Brunswick hentai fuck buddy pov Out to your Twin Flame You have to know that physical separation in Twin Flames isn't the most important part of the Twin Flame travel and after you find recovery, you realize that a bodily reunion is just the start of eternally with your Twin Flame.
Even though you might never feel exactly the exact same exuberance again you really do have the possibility of having the joy and delight of intimacy, being close, and sense loving and being loved on your future relationships. When you are only coming from your shell and these relationships may be more significant today.
An additional point a great deal of guys appear think is that when a female quits messaging her it's as a result of something he stated without truly thinking about the opportunity that she might have decided to inspect his profile and really did not like what she saw.
She decided to pull by saying it's very good for him to maintain his virginity and noticed it. Together with her statement about spouse, he utilized Measure- by teasingly trying to make her flower's girl, On- Chain to creep, but she denied.
Measure Two: Community Buckets and Total Scoring Now it is time to look in" extra credit" for ourselves or our partner. In what ways does he or enhance areas of life which we value we do? In this practice, we seeking items which are assets that are joint. Those can be nebulous like our" community standing" via" involvement on charity boards after a week" or they may be quite specific like" chauffeuring children to and from school" Over time, couples make" residue" of time, energy and love not only into each other but also into communal investments they both consider important. These buckets help stabilize relationships through high- stress times when the partners may not be providing one another their" daily bread" in the kind of relationship essentials. When these are for the Inkerman Ferry backpage escorts service of both partners and are appreciated by both spouses, they may be thought of as a valid Community Bucket( CB) . Among the issues is that partners can't agree on what there is a CB worth.
Then it means that whoever is powerful is at HIS time if everyone knows who he is, and you who are not successful are in YOURS. Does this mean that your time will never come? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Evidently has made it by taking a course that you have not yet done, but you can start becoming aware of your weaknesses and improving them.
I want to have meaningful and deep conversations with individuals. I'd like to know about them. But, there are a vast amount of people who appear to find it difficult in only getting a dialogue started.
Response: you choose! Everybody's different, although I enjoy all of them. I really do believe, however, that there is enough common ground( away from such touchy issues as religious doctrine) where all women can concur- - e. g. , voting rights for all women and quality healthcare for their kids. Am I correct? Note: For definitions of new terms, see the glossary on another page.

The holidays may be "the most wonderful time of the year" and "the hap-happiest season of all," but sometimes all the marshmallow toasting and parties for hosting and excessive snow-blowing leave us ... less than glowing.
We officially launch the holiday season this week -- Thanksgiving, Black Fri-Thursday?, gay happy meetings, and lots of good eatings. What if we made it the Most Mindful Time of the Year? We could ALL be of good cheer! Even with those crazy loved ones so near!
So I offer you this simple list, with mindful practices for kids from 1 to 92. They can be done many times, many ways... and I wish a very mindful Thanksgiving to you!
1. Practice Lovingkindness
Your family may have a traditional prayer or grace that you say before dinner, but if you don't, you could do a brief lovingkindness meditation. With kids we sometimes call this practice "sending kind thoughts." The traditional lovingkindness phrases are:
"May we be safe,
May we be happy,
May we be healthy,
May we live with ease."
You could also ask your children if there are friends or other family members that they want to send kind thoughts to. One person can read the phrases aloud and everyone else silently repeats them in their heads.
2. Eat Mindfully
If your family is anything like mine, you put in LOTS and LOTS of time in the kitchen, only to have the entire meal consumed in under 20 minutes (coincidentally, that's the length of half time. Hmmm...)
Take a moment to smell the food and see the beauty of the colors. Take your first few bites in complete silence to truly taste and savor the food. Express gratitude for those who made the meal, as well as the farmers who grew the food, and the earth from which the food came.
This food reveals our connection to the earth. Each bite contains the life of the sun and the earth.... We can see and taste the whole universe in a piece of bread! Contemplating our food for a few seconds before eating, and eating in mindfulness, can bring us much happiness. -- Thich Nhat Hanh
3. Talk -- and Listen -- Mindfully
Whatever the conversation turns to over dinner, listen mindfully to the person speaking. Really hear what they are saying, instead of assuming you already know how the story's going to end. Truly listen, instead of figuring out what you are going to say next or how you can tell an even better story when they're done speaking. Be aware of the tendencies of the mind to hear what it wants to hear, rather than what is actually being said.
4. Practice Gratitude
Have everyone share one thing they're thankful for from the last year. Or a person they're thankful for. Or their favorite Thanksgiving memory. Soon you'll be sharing the stories and tales of the glories of holidays long, long ago...
5. Make a Kindness List
When I was a kid, Thanksgiving was often the occasion for making the famous Christmas List. What if we had our kids make a Kindness List, too? What toys can they donate? What goodies from the Black Friday ads would they like to give to the local toy drive? What could they do to help people in their community? How can they spread good cheer to those who are near?
6. Explore Your Senses
Thanksgiving is a sensory delight! The smells, the tastes, the noises... What a great time to practice being mindful of our senses! This is a great activity to do with your kids -- ask them what they can see, smell, hear, taste, and feel as you gather for dinner. It's a great way to teach kids to pay attention to all that their bodies can detect in their surroundings.
7. Take Time for Self Care
Give yourself some much needed down time before the rush of December. Savor your morning coffee. Read a good book. Take a long nap. Sit in the quiet of the living room after the kids go to bed and admire the beauty of the holiday lights and decorations (and don't stress if they're not up yet, Griswold!). Go to bed early.
8. Clean Mindfully
Even if you're not hosting, you're probably doing some cleaning over the long weekend. Taking care of your home can be a lovely mindfulness practice. When you vacuum, just vacuum. When you clean the kitchen, just clean the kitchen. Allow your busy mind to take a break and focus your awareness on the sights and sounds of your home and the movements of your body. Be thankful for what you have. Honor this way of caring for your family.
9. Cook Mindfully
If you ARE making the big meal, it can be done mindfully. In fact, it's probably best done if it's the ONLY thing we're focusing on in that moment! The wonderful Thich Nhat Hanh writes the following words about making breakfast, but I think it can apply to the Thanksgiving tofurkey, too:
We can be really alive, fully present, and very happy during breakfast making. We can see making breakfast as mundane work or as a privilege -- it just depends on our way of looking. The cold water is available. The hot water is available.... The kettle is available. The fire is available. The food is available. Everything is there to make our happiness a possibility. --Thich Nhat Hanh
Whether you're hosting or toasting, I hope you have a joyful and mindful Thanksgiving!

She gives me 6 things he simply can't.
My husband and I have been married for six years, but for 40 hours a week, I'm pledged to another. She's a colleague with whom I've shared an office for the past 10 years and who's affectionately referred to around our workplace as my "work wife." No, we're not entangled in a lusty affair; our relationship is strictly platonic, but as another working mother, she supports and encourages me in ways that my "home husband" can't, like:
1. She makes Mondays much better. Between rushing out of the house to start the week and dealing with a sense of sadness that our weekend family time is over, I often struggle with Monday mornings. But as soon as I enter my office, I am greeted with a warm smile and a sincere interest in my weekend. And as we eagerly catch each other up on what we've missed, I am quickly reminded that my work-week relationships mean a lot to me as well.
2. She has my back. Who takes over for me when I'm home with my sick daughter and have a work deadline to meet? Who offers to pick up my child if my husband and I can't get to daycare in time? Who talks me through project-related problems? My work wife. In today's workplace, where there's more competition than cooperation, it's so comforting to know that instead of vying for promotions and praise, she serves as my safety net, there to catch me if I fall.
3. She understands my work-life balance struggles. She's a working mother, too, so she recognizes how hard it is to be both a mom and an employee. And lucky for me, she's gone through it first. She's the one who advised me on the best way to arrange my pumping schedule and suggested I choose full-time daycare instead of part-time. Anytime I feel overwhelmed with juggling working and motherhood, I know she's a sympathetic and understanding ear.
4. She inspires me. My work wife is awesome (I know, I'm biased), both in the office and at home. At work, she's smart, bold and assertive. Watching her professional successes doesn't make me envious—it motivates me to work harder and push beyond my current limits. And she's just as inspirational when it comes to motherhood. She cherishes every moment with her daughters in ways I'm still learning how to do, and her dedication to breastfeeding was one of the biggest reasons I nursed for as long as I did.
5. She reminds me that I'm a good employee. Since becoming a working mother, I often worry how my personal life has altered the employee I used to be. I'm not able to work as late or travel as easily as before. I have to call out whenever my daughter is sick, and I'm often running on disrupted sleep. But whenever I start to doubt myself, my work wife is there to point out all of my strengths.
6. She reminds me that I'm a good mother. What working mother doesn't question how working is affecting their parenting? During my first months back from maternity leave, I worried about whether or not I was making the right decision to leave my baby at such a young age. And one day, I came into work to find a simple but powerful gift from my work wife: a mug that read, "You are a good mom. That's all." And that's all I needed to know.

Whose Line is it Anyway - Season 13 - Episode 6
terry crews could lift Thor's hammer rb if u agree
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R … My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this… STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions : S * Ask the individual to SMILE .. T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today'). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. And it could be your own.
First reblog post that actually saves a life.
This is a life-saving post.
the more you know
yeah don't think that this can't happen to you or someone you know if they're young. my cousin's wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year
I've had a stroke. It happens to people, and the more you know about this kind of stuff, the better.Because it could be important to know.
Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.
Because I feel bad if I don't reblog…
My mother died after being paralyzed by a stroke. Please read this^

One of the most well-liked features of Plymouth Magazine is the annual Picture Plymouth photo contest, which is open for submissions for the entire month of August.
Arts & Culture
Alongside melting snow and budding trees, the Primavera Arts Festival is a sure sign that spring is on its way. The annual event, a collaboration between the Plymouth Arts Council and the city of Plymouth, has been held each April for over two decades—this year marks its 22nd year.
Most artists dream of seeing their art hang in galleries. Lisa Seltzer wears hers every day. The Plymouth resident got her first henna done 10 years ago and she's been hooked since then.
The issue of climate change feels daunting to most, something too big for any given individual to have an impact upon.
Mary Ellen Becker's training as a master gardener helps her answer tough questions about plants and more.
Jayne Morrison has been seeing gray in interior trends recently, but spring is about to bring a new crop of colorful features. Morrison recently completed a Plymouth bathroom and fireplace remodel — work that refreshed the space for a brighter feel.
Whether you're making the move from renter to homeowner or just into a new place, the expertise of an agent can make for a smoother and informed process. Family and friends can give well-intentioned advice, but the details can get complex.
Team Thompson has come a long way. Husband and wife Dan and Kristi Thompson have been working together for the past 17 years guiding clients through the home buying process on two fronts.
Life has changed dramatically since Plymouth resident Bella Andrade received an assistance dog from Can Do Canines last fall.
Although we are deep in the throes of winter, now is the time to start thinking about summer camps if it's on the horizon for your kids this summer. The area's most popular day camps fill up quickly, and some registration deadlines are soon approaching.
We're a few months into winter and Debbi Soeffker and Randy Mayer's geraniums lay dormant, waiting to be repotted and replanted for the spring. With a little more than 40 geranium plants, you could even say that the Plymouth couple's hobby has grown through the years.
