From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam
All of our specimens except one are from the southern half of the state. We have, however, three reports from the northern half. It is to be noted that this species is separated with difficulty from Euphorbia supina and this similarity may result in their confusion. In the field Euphorbia humistrata is notably more glaucous than Euphorbia supina.
Indiana Coefficient of Conservatism: C = 0
Wetland Indicator Status: FACW
Vascular plants of NE US and adjacent Canada
Much like no. 31 [Euphorbia maculata L.]; sometimes rooting at the lower nodes; lvs pale green, chiefly obovate to obovate-oblong, or narrower on the smaller branches, mostly 5-15 mm and more than half as wide, commonly widest above the middle, inconspicuously serrulate; involucre cleft on one side for fully half its length (this the most dependable distinction from no. 31); styles 0.5-0.7 mm; seeds smooth or nearly so. Moist alluvial soil; O. to Kans., s. to Ala. and Tex., and occasionally adventive farther e. Aug.-Oct. (Chamaesyce h.)

"If you don't put 99 percent of yourself into the writing, there will be no publishing career. There's the writer and there's the author. The author—you don't ever think about the author. Just think about the writer. So my advice would be, find a way to not care—easier said than done. Accept that the world may never notice this thing you worked so hard at. And instead, do it for it, find a job, find a way of living that gives you an hour or two or three a day to do it, and then work your ass off sending out, trying to get out there, but do not put the pressure on the work to do something for you. Because then you're going to be writing dishonestly and for the market instead of for the characters and your story."
"There are some beautiful books out there. But the ones that leave me cold are the ones where I feel—it's that postmodern thing—it's more experimentation with language than it is a deep compassionate falling into another human being's experience."
"I really think that if there's any one enemy to human creativity, especially creative writing, its self-consciousness. And if you have one eye on the mirror to see how you're doing, you're not doing it as well as you can. Don't think about publishing, don't think about editors, don't think about marketplace."
"I think the deeper you go into questions, the deeper or more interesting the questions get. And I think that's the job of art."
"One of the things I learned about writing a memoir is you can't drag the reader through everything. Every human life is worth 20 memoirs."
"I still have my truck, and I still have my carpentry tools, and if this writing thing dries up on a publishing level—it's never gonna dry up for me on an artistic level because I'm never going to quit—but if all the sudden I were out in the cold in the publishing world, them I'm gonna build you a kitchen. I'm gonna do your roof. I would rather do that than sell my soul to the publishing devil. I just won't do it."
"I think it's important not to talk about what you're working on. … It releases that creative tension that can be fuel for your writing. Don't show anyone what you're working on. Don't talk about it. And don't think about it. Don't be taking all these furious notes because I think that when we take all these notes when we're not writing, they're actually sexy ideas that may be just ideas. If it's a real direction for the story, it's gonna show up in the next day anyway. So just push it back."
"Even a day writing badly for me is 10 times better than a day where I don't write at all."
From Wikipedia: Andre Dubus III (born 1959) is an American novelist and writer of short stories. He is a member of the faculty at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Notable works include The House of Sand and Fog and Townie: A Memoir.
His Father: Andre Dubus, II (August 11, 1936 – February 24, 1999) was an American short story writer, essayist, and autobiographer.
Although he did write one novel, The Lieutenant, in 1967, Dubus considered himself primarily as a writer of short fiction. Throughout his career, he published most of his work in small, distinguished literary journals such as Ploughshares and Sewanee Review. Later in his career he placed stories in magazines such as The New Yorker and Playboy. Andre remained loyal to a small publishing firm run by David R. Godine that published his first works. When larger book publishers approached him with more lucrative deals, Dubus stayed with Godine, switching only to Alfred A. Knopf towards the end of his career to assist with medical bills.
Dubus's collections include: Separate Flights (1975), Adultery and Other Choices (1977), Finding a Girl in America (1980), The Times Are Never So Bad (1983), Voices from the Moon (1984), The Last Worthless Evening (1986), Selected Stories (1988), Broken Vessels (1991), Dancing After Hours (1996), and Meditations from a Movable Chair (1998). Several writing awards are named after Dubus. His papers are archived at McNeese State University and Xavier University in Louisiana.

but more popularly called the Bug Nebula or the Butterfly Nebula.
NGC 6302 lies within our Milky Way galaxy, roughly 3,800 light-years away
in the constellation Scorpius. The glowing gas is the star's outer layers,
expelled over about 2,200 years. The "butterfly" stretches for more than
two light-years, which is about half the distance from the Sun to
the nearest star, Alpha Centauri.

Sometimes, I could go in anywhere, not
to see the stars, not to be as we
are always, not only under them
but in them.
The outer spaces push against
us, all their vastnesses apart, they crowd
us. They become our world. I could go hide
like Adam in his garden. How
would it matter? No, we are in the stars. Not
for us ever any familiar and definite world.
—William Bronk
There are no near galaxies: this
as far as any, if not in terms of miles,
we know how meaningless miles are
in terms of miles. How far from me to you?
Everything is, almost in the utterance,
metaphor—as we measure miles, and miles
are meaninglesss, but we know what distance is:
unmeasurable. But there are distances.
—William Bronk
The biological life is not the life
of the universe. Is the large splendor of stars
only to ornament or illuminate
us? No, their life is the main show.
Our eyes and minds participate. Where abstract
is concrete at last our desire feels the stars.
Watch, be aware. Time is the distances
of space. Look, look! It is all there.

—D.R. Wagner, Elk Grove
We live in a spiral arm of a spinning
Field of stars, we whirl around, a carnival
Ride, full of birds, loves, emotions, endless
Varieties of things unfolding in seasons;
Full of bells and an endless weaving of hearts.
These connections ride upon our consciousness,
Demanding constant performance from us.
Each of us, most royal and majestic as night,
Vile, vindictive and spoiled even before we speak;
Sorrow and joy, the way we sound our name.
We endure all of this, our lips kissing each moment,
Crushed, elated, misunderstood, praised for things
We do as part of ourselves, damned for these same things.
There is no road, there is no plan. Only love
Everything is forgiven, finally.
Understanding limps behind the parade,
Always late, always burdened with qualifications,
Always abandoning every opinion and argument,
Leaving each of us our place only, describing
This place, the swirling arms, the myriad ways
We twist ourselves to achieve
This weaving, this carnival of love.

We're excited to welcome local running legend Michael Wardian as a rider for Bike to the Beach DC. When Mike isn't out winning 100 mile trail races or trying to break world records, he's a daily bike commuter in the DC area, and occasionally enjoys weekend trips to Rehoboth Beach with his family.
When we talked with Mike about Bike to the Beach last month, it took a lot of effort to convince him to do the event on a bike rather than running the whole thing, but once we got that settled we figured it would be a good idea to get out there and train with his fellow riders!
Haines Point is a 3 mile loop that is easily accessible with plenty of parking. This is a loop ride so if you get dropped, you can just ride to our water stop and wait till the group makes their way back around and rejoin them. This could be a rare occasion for you to be able to keep up with Michael Wardian.
So this Sunday Bike to the Beach is setting up camp at the end of Haines Point with water, shade, and even some burgers and hot dogs to share with our fellow riders. In addition, we'll be holding bike tube changing lessons for any riders who want to figure out how to do it on their own before our 104 mile ride next Friday.
Sunday's Timeline
- 6:30am – Meet at Haines Point, set up tents
- 6:45am – Intro to Group Riding Tactics
- 7:00am – Ride with Michael Wardian
- 9:00am – Tire changing lessons & continue riding
- 10am-12pm – Hot dogs and Hamburgers- donations suggested
We'll have the water stop set up until noon, but you can keep on riding as long as you like to get those final few training miles in before Friday's ride. This ride is open to all cyclists, not just Bike to the Beach riders, so bring your friends out!
About Michael Wardian
Michael Wardian is an American marathoner and ultra-marathoner. In addition to a lengthy list of podium finishes at marathons, half-marathons, 50k /100k and 100 Mile races, Michael has set world records for the fastest marathon and also 50K on an indoor 200-meter track. In March 2015, he also set the World Record for the fastest 50K on a treadmill on a Spartan Race Cruise. Michael is now halfway through his attempt at the record for the fastest combined time of the 6 Abbott World Marathon Majors.

CDB approves grant to finance study for road rehabilitation in Belize
The Board of Directors of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has approved a grant of GBP700,000 to the Government of Belize to fund a feasibility study for the upgrading of the Philip S. W. Goldson Highway. The project is being supported through the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Partnership Fund (UKCIF), which is administered by CDB.
"The Philip S. W. Goldson Highway is a vital trade corridor, which facilitates the movement of goods between Belize, Guatemala and Mexico. The upgrading of this highway will support economic development, and facilitate the more cost-effective movement of exports to the Port of Belize. The feasibility study will allow the Government to determine the most efficient method of upgrading the highway, and prepare detailed designs for the road work," said Andrew Dupigny, Head of Infrastructure Partnerships at CDB.
Approximately 20 percent of Belize's imports originate from Central America, with much of it transported by road. In addition to the trade benefits, rehabilitation of the Highway is expected to contribute to improved road safety. The corridor registers some of the highest road fatality rates in the country. Approximately 50% of all road traffic accident fatalities occurring on the Highway between Belize City and the Mexican border. In 2012, CDB funded a long-term initiative to improve road safety in Belize, which resulted in a 35 percent drop in road fatalities along a demonstration corridor. The techniques learnt through that project will be applied in the rehabilitation of the Philip S. W. Goldson Highway.
The study will also focus on ensuring that the designs promote greater resilience to climate change, and improved drainage features along the Highway.
UKCIF provides grant financing to eight Caribbean countries eligible for Overseas Development Assistance, and UK Overseas Territory, Montserrat.
This project is consistent with CDB's strategic objective of supporting inclusive and sustainable growth and development, as well as CDB's corporate priority of strengthening and modernising social and economic infrastructure.

Pets and Weather
Considering the danger to your pet's health, and even life, it is best to avoid taking your pet with you in the car when it is hot outside unless a cool environment can be assured. Never leave your pet alone in a car when it is hot outside, even for a matter of minutes. Also, avoid exercising your pet excessively in the hot weather and make sure your pet has access to shade and plenty of water.
- Hot cars can turn into a deadly death trap - even with the windows cracked. Within 10 minutes the temperature inside an automobile can rise to 160 degrees and cause irreversible brain damage and/or death to pets.
- Dogs that are kept outside need available shade and water at all times.
- Dogs should be properly groomed so that their hair doesn't get too long. Dogs with long hair are more susceptible to heat stroke and other hot weather problems.
- Avoid excess exercise with your pet when it is hot outside.
- Be mindful of hot pavements. Dog paws are easily injured on super-hot streets and it is very painful to dogs.
- Always keep your dog on a leash. Animal Control Officers are enforcing the city's leash law in parks, on bike paths, and other areas of the city.
- Always read labels on garden products, bug sprays, and other outdoor products to make sure they are pet friendly.
Heat prostration is a potentially fatal condition that occurs when animals are exposed to hot environments, such as inside a car with the windows closed (or even partly open) or other unventilated enclosures. Heat prostration occurs when the body temperature is elevated to approximately 106 degrees Fahrenheit and death will occur at 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat prostration constitutes a medical emergency. Several vital organs are damaged in heat prostration including the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys. Signs of heat prostration are many and varied, and not all of which occur simultaneously. Initial signs include: rapid breathing or panting; rapid heart and pulse rates; pale, red or dry gums; excess salivation; decreased alertness; coma, seizures; weakness, vomiting; diarrhea; and bleeding.
Immediate measures need to be applied rapidly in order to save the animal's life and prevent brain damage. These measures are lowering the body temperature and, if necessary, CPR. Methods to lower the body temperature include bathing the animal in cool water and then blowing air over the body. Also, ice packs should be placed in the groin and armpits, and on the neck.
These measures to cool the body should be discontinued when the temperature is lowered to 103 degrees Fahrenheit because paradoxically, hypothermia may ensue. An animal that has sustained heat prostration should be taken immediately to a veterinarian for evaluation, treatment, and monitoring.
If you are wishing to report an animal that is in a life threatening situation today, please call (303) 651-8500.
For non-emergency information regarding animal related issues you may call (303) 651-8500 or email Animal Control.

For families with children up to Grade 6, we have a Facebook page called SPARK Calvary which we are using to keep us connected while we are apart. Click the link below to connect:
For other inquiries, email Pastor Jim here.
Kids and Family Ministries strive to Support Parents And Reach Kids (S.P.A.R.K) in becoming fully devoted followers of Christ. We love children and we desire to see them grow and mature in their relationship with Jesus!
We are excited to partner with you, the parent or care giver, in your child's spiritual development. Our programs and activities are designed with the purpose of reaching kids with the message of the Gospel as well as supporting parents and resourcing them to be the primary spiritual influence in nurturing and discipling their child's walk with God. Thank you for trusting your children to the care of our dedicated and loving workers who have the desire to see your child grow in Christ in a warm, safe atmosphere of learning and fun.
Sunday morning, all children up to Grade 6 are required to check-in at one of our Computerized Check-In Stations. This system helps us to keep your children safe while they are with us Sunday morning. Once you sign in using the touch screen, each child in your family will be given a label and you (the parent) will be given a claim ticket. The number on the claim ticket corresponds to the number on your child's sticker. This number is used to page you during the worship service and is needed when you pick your child up. Each child MUST wear their sticker and you will need to show your claim ticket to pick up your child at the end of the morning. A special sign in/out system is used during special events and summer camps.
All snacks provided at Calvary are nut-free. If your child requires an epipen for food allergies, we require parental permission before giving out any snack or treat. Our leaders will do their best to notify you in advance of any special events involving food so that you will have the opportunity to send in an alternate snack if needed. You may wish to leave a small, labelled bag of treats with your child's leader. We will do our best to accommodate other less severe food allergies, but we cannot guarantee the suitability of snacks served. It is our recommendation that you send snacks with your child if you have any concerns.
In all of our programs, children with allergies requiring an epipen MUST have their epipen in order to participate in any activity or program at Calvary. Failure to bring the epipen to the church means that your child will not be able to sign in to their program that day/evening.
We look forward to having your children join us for a morning filled with interactive, biblically-based activities and teaching, in an atmosphere that will disciple your children and will see them grow in their own relationship with Jesus. In the summer months, our program shifts gears and changes over to SPARK city. Children JK-Gr.6 are dismissed during the worship service.
Our program name for children from Nursery - Preschool is called Faithland Jr.

The Winnipeg Jets have a chance to reach the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time.
But they'll probably have to do it with the most depleted blue line they've ever had.
Losing Dmitry Kulikov and Toby Enstrom before the playoffs was one thing.
When Tyler Myers went down in Game 3 against Minnesota, things got interesting.
But for Game 5 against the Wild, Friday, the Jets will be without those three, plus Josh Morrissey, who's been suspended for his cross-check on Eric Staal in Game 4.
That's four of their top-six defencemen, out at the same time.
When will it begin to catch up with them?
"It doesn't really cross my mind," Bryan Little was saying, Thursday. "It's going to take a lot more for us to get nervous about that."
One by one, the Jets stood before notebooks and cameras and made similar comments about shrugging off the loss of Morrissey, probably their best all-around performer on the blue line this season.
Not that they don't appreciate Morrissey's value.
It's just that they've been overcoming the loss of players all season.
"For sure, it's a hole," coach Paul Maurice said. "We've, unfortunately over the past four years, gotten to be pretty good at having defencemen out. That's standard."
Everybody talks about how deep the Jets are, but that's usually been a reference to their forwards.
On defence, didn't they seem kind of thin going into the season?
Ben Chiarot and Tucker Poolman were healthy scratches, remember? On Friday, they'll be a pair for the second straight game, against the desperate Wild.
But that's not all.
Assuming Myers remains out – he didn't skate on Thursday – the Jets will dip into their farm team for Sami Niku, one game after dipping into the reserves for Poolman.
"It's kind of a crazy thing," Poolman acknowledged. "You always prepare like you're going to get a chance. Odds are it probably doesn't happen."
The standard hockey cliches don't even fit this situation.
"You hear it all the time — you need to have eight or nine NHL defenceman that can play," Chiarot said.
The problem is Niku would be the 10th.
Of course, there are worse players you could call up than one who was just named the American League's best defenceman. As a rookie.
Niku is supposed to be getting ready for a relatively gentle baptism into North American playoff hockey, with the Manitoba Moose.
Instead, he'd be thrown into the pool without anybody really knowing if he can swim.
"It's really nice to know that I can play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs before I play AHL playoffs," Niku said, seemingly oblivious to the pressure he'd be under.
Niku figures the one NHL game he's played will help a lot, but that was more like an AHL affair, a laid-back, devil-may-care outing in Montreal, the Jets coasting to the playoffs, the Habs coasting to nowhere.
If Niku expects the same room to move, Friday, he'll be in for a rude awakening.
Don't think he's worried about it, though.
"I think I'm not guy who is nervous," he said. "It's normal game for me."
And normal for the Jets, as Paul Stastny found out when he got here at the trade deadline.
"This team has had a lot of injuries, and didn't skip a beat," Stastny said. "When I got here they still had some guys out, and we just kept playing along. It's just a product of how the coaching staff has ingrained the way we want to play here.
"We're moving the puck quick, no matter who's in our lineup."
Ending the series quick is the bigger goal.
"It's another part of the learning process," Little said. "We've got to figure out a way to beat these guys and move on.
"We don't want to give them any life or any hope."

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group completes acquisition of Terrafugia, Inc.
Zhejiang Geely Holding Group ('Geely Holding') has announced it has entered into an agreement with Terrafugia Inc, a US-based company focused on the innovation, engineering and production of flying cars and future technologies, to acquire its operations and assets in their entirety.
Terrafugia was founded in 2006 by five award-winning graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since its inception, the company has made considerable progress towards realising its vision of bringing a new form of mobility to the world and delivered some working prototypes. Terrafugia aims to deliver its first flying car to the market in 2019, with the world's first VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) flying car being made available by 2023.
Under the terms of the agreement, Terrafugia will remain domiciled and headquartered in the United States of America and continue to focus on its existing mission of developing flying cars. Terrafugia will also benefit from the Group's significant expertise and track record of innovation within the global auto industry.
This deal has received approval from all relevant regulators including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CIFIUS).
As Terrafugia embarks upon this new phase of its development, Terrafugia is pleased to announce its new Board of Directors, the new Terrafugia Board of Directors will be compromised of seven individuals.
Mr. Nathan Yu Ning, Geely Holding Vice President of International Business and Executive Advisor to the Board will become the Chairman of Terrafugia with three other appointees from the Geely Holding Company including Geely Holding Vice Chairman Mr. Yang Jian and Frank Li Yifan, Geely Holding Vice President of Strategic Investment and New Business, Mr. Ian Zhang, Geely Holding Deputy CFO and Director of Auditing.
Chris Jaran, former Managing Director for Bell Helicopter China, has been announced as a board member and Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Terrafugia founder Carl Dietrich will serve on the board of Directors and transition to the newly created role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and continue to work on the market actualisation of flying car technology.
Mr Koen Bouwers, a seasoned executive, will continue to serve on the Terrafugia board as he has since 2008.
In anticipation of this transaction, Terrafugia's team of engineers in the USA has already been tripled over the past quarter with Geelys Holding's support. Geely Holding are fully committed to further investment in the business, including the creation of more high tech jobs in the USA, following the completion of the acquisition.
Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Founder and Chairman Li Shufu said: "The team at Terrafugia have been at the forefront of believing in and realising the vision for a flying car and creating the ultimate mobility solution. This is a tremendously exciting sector, and we believe that Terrafugia is ideally positioned to change mobility as we currently understand it and herald the development of a new industry in doing so. Our investment in the company reflects our shared belief in their vision, and we are committed to extending our full support to Terrafugia, leveraging the synergies provided by our international operations and track record of innovation, to make the flying car a reality."
Terrafugia's newly appointed CEO, Chris Jaran, said: "After working in the helicopter industry for over 30 years, and the aviation industry in China for 17 years, Terrafugia presents a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of a fledgeling but the enormously exciting industry. The support that Geely has pledged to make Terrafugia's vision of a flying car a commercial reality is unprecedented, and I assume this role with full of confidence for the future, with our priority being the expansion of the company's R&D capabilities."
Terrafugia founder and CTO Carl Dietrich said: "We started Terrafugia with a vision to change the future of transportation with practical flying cars that enable a new dimension of personal freedom. Now as part of Geely Holding Group I am confident that we can reach that vision and subsequent commercial success by utilising the Groups shared global synergy."

|Deep geothermal drilling in Trebur, Hessen.
Photo: Creative Commons / Ben Gasoline.
Die Erdwärmenutzung durch oberflächennahe Bohrungen nimmt zu, aber die potenzialreiche Tiefengeothermie stagniert. Nun fordert die Branche Anschubhilfe vom Staat.
(From Google Translate) The use of geothermal energy through near-surface drilling is increasing, but the potential-rich deep geothermal energy is stagnating. Now the industry is calling for start-up aid from the state.
Some swear by the potential of an inexhaustible source of energy, while others warn against self-generated earthquakes, toxic gases and radioactivity. As controversial as the use of heat from deep wells is, their reality is modest: according to the German Geothermal Association, there are just 36 power plants in Germany that are known as deep geothermal energy. Its 35 megawatts (MW) electric power equals twelve modern wind turbines. The heat output of 315 MW looks a bit more impressive, it roughly corresponds to the power of three modern gas-fired power plants. Although there are plans for around 30 other plants, there are currently only two under construction. One in the Bavarian Holzkirchen, the other in Munich.
Thanks to Bernhard Welker for the lead.

2009 Hungarian GP, race: Toro Rosso quotes
Franz Tost: "Well done to Jaime on finishing his first race, which means he's learned a lot this weekend. That was our main target with him. He will need another two races, after which I expect to see him make it through to Q2. Unfortunately, Sebastien caught some debris on the right side of the front wing, damaging it, thus losing performance. We will now focus on Valencia, where we will have a new front wing which should help us to improve our overall performance."
Sebastien Buemi: "I am very disappointed with this race, as I made a lot of mistakes and I am not at all happy with my performance. I don't think starting on the harder tyres was the right decision. I lost several places at the start and got stuck in traffic. Just a bad race. The car was good, as we showed in qualifying but today I was the one who made the mistakes. The only positive thing is that the car is definitely improved with this new package."
Jaime Alguersuari: "I am very happy to have finished, but the last five laps were very difficult from the physical point of view. I found it hard to keep the car on the pace, but I am very satisfied. P15 is not so bad, but the main objective was to complete the 70 laps, with no mistakes, maintaining my pace. I have learned a lot but I have to say there are some aspects of F1 which made me think, 'shit this is tough."

Section H: Walking the Hebridean Way - Berneray or Leverburgh to Seilebost
Finish: Seilebost, Harris
Please note the advisory on this section.
Length: 21km / 13 miles
Height Climbed: 590m / 1,935ft
Height Descended: 586m / 1,922ft
Grade: Difficult
Estimated time (without stops): 6 hours
Terrain: 9.5 miles on rough paths or wet, pathless moorland following waymarker posts; 3.5 miles on single track roads.
After crossing the Sound of Harris – a strong contender for Britain's most spectacular ferry journey – the little village of Leverburgh is a fine introduction to the Isle of Harris. Established in the early 1920s by the island's English owner, Lord Leverhulme, Leverburgh was intended to be a major fishing port. His plans never really took off – these days the village makes a welcome stop for visitors with B&Bs, a good restaurant and several shops.
Today's walk is the toughest of the whole Hebridean Way, with long sections following damp paths or waymarker posts over wet, boggy moorland. The rewards, however, are considerable. Along the way you will pass the spectacular beaches of Scarista, Horgabost and Luskentyre on Harris's west coast. The island of Taransay and the mountains of North Harris form superb backdrops to the world class views.
The section finishes with a tough little climb up a steep, rocky hill. It's a tiring ascent but the views of Luskentyre beach and the saltmarsh at Seilebost make an unforgettable end to the day.
Note: The map below shows the end point of this section. The distances and timings above do not include any extra distance you may need to reach your accommodation for the night.

Sound Therapy Bone Conduction Program Bone Conduction is a valuable part of Sound Therapy which accesses different parts of the nervous system to enhance your Sound Therapy results. Includes:
- Sound Therapy Bone Conduction headphone with double adaptor
- Bone Conduction video coaching program with Rafaele Joudry
- The video coaching program covers:
- Understanding bone conduction
- Why we use bone conduction
- Integration of pathways
- How to use the equipment
- Listening routines
- Cautionary conditions
- Anatomy and physiology of bone conduction
- Nervous system integration
- Reactions and benefits
Bone Conduction is included as part of the Tri Modal, Deluxe and Family programs. It can also be ordered separately to be used with any program in our range. Video Coaching program Bone conduction means that Sound Therapy can reach a whole new level of effectiveness. In this system you will receive regular video coaching from Rafaele Joudry over a six week period. This coaching is important as bone conduction takes Sound Therapy to a deeper therapeutic level and you need to be able to understand your progress and how to conduct your program correctly for best results. These videos will provide you with tips and knowledge regarding how to listen, how to use the equipment, what changes to expect, difficulties to watch out for and the benefits of bone conduction for many different conditions. The Sound Therapy bone conduction program enables combined bone conduction and air conduction with flexible options and volume control. Bone conduction helps to embody the sound more deeply. Bone Conduction takes sound directly into our skeletal structure using vibrators placed on the cheekbones. This can be used alone or in combination with air conduction through one of our standard headphones. When Bone conduction and air conduction are used together, two different neural systems are activated at the same time. Bone conduction helps to automatically focus the attention on sounds, making listening easier. In addition, our vestibular system is stimulated, improving our balance, coordination and body awareness. Emotional healing and physical healing are enhanced as bone conduction is integrated with air conducted sound.


text: The main disadvantage of tracking a workforce using IRD data is that we cannot filter by occupation. This means that we will pick up administration staff when we may only be interested in tradespeople. This can be especially problematic when we are determining the proportion of female tradespeople, as the number of female administration staff in an industry can vastly outnumber the female tradespeople.

Drake has beaten Adele's record for the most wins at the Billboard Music Awards.
The Canadian rapper picked up 13 prizes, beating Adele by one, at the event in Las Vegas including best artist.
He was joined on the stage by Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and his father.
"I just want to say hold tight Adele because when a new ting drops you will crawl your way back to get the record back," said Drake accepting the award.
Adele set the former record at the 2012 awards when she won prizes including top artist, top female artist and top pop artist.
Drake also won top male artist and top Billboard 200 album for Views after getting 22 nominations at the event as well as performing Gyalchester inside the famous Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas.
Zayn Malik won best new artist but didn't collect the prize in person, telling fans he was busy finishing new songs.
Twenty One Pilots picked up top duo/group and top rock artist with Metallica winning in the rock album category.
Beyonce's Lemonade was picked as the best R&B album while The Chainsmokers won top dance/electronic artist and top Hot 100 Song for Closer featuring Halsey.
K-pop group BTS beat the likes of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to win the top social artist award.
The ceremony also saw Cher handed an icon award.
The star, who turned 71 the day before, said her success was "mostly luck" as she collected the honour from Gwen Stefani.
Ahead of a moment's silence, Imagine Dragons singer Dan Reynolds paid tribute to Cornell as a "prolific songwriter, a legendary performer, a singer who had a voice for the ages and a philanthropist".
Halsey performed new single Now or Never on stage in an outfit which apparently took two days to make.
There were also performances from Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Lorde, The Chainsmokers, Camila Cabello, John Legend, Miley Cyrus, Imagine Dragons and country music stars Florida Georgia Line and Sam Hunt plus Selena Gomez songwriter Julia Michaels.
Meanwhile, Sean "Diddy" Combs celebrated Notorious B.I.G. on what would have been the hip-hop legend's 45th birthday.
He was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1997.
The rapper's son CJ Wallace told the audience: "I know my father's looking down on all of us tonight.
"My sister and I will continue to carry on his memory with tremendous pride and live my life by his words."
Vanessa Hudgens and Ludacris hosted the event.

So Squanto Was An Aztec Agent?
In the 1800's, one of the leading business magnates in the US supposedly created an article about how Squanto's turkeys that were served at the first Thanksgiving may have been gifted more directly from the Aztecs than first thought. Interestingly enough, a former editor and US Senator's family pointed out that the Senator had already said that when he said that Squanto had to have been an Aztec agent because there were no turkeys in Texas. So who actually was the first to talk about Squanto and the Aztecs when it came to turkey? Well, because their topic is similar, it looks like there is a common source for both sets of comments.
The Food Historian: Meat and Potatoes- On the Inca Trail
The next time you eat some French Fries or dig into a baked potato, remember to thank the Peruvians for spending thousands of years developing different varieties of potatoes that the Spanish and British ended up distributing all over the world. The impact of the potato was so great in Europe that today, when you go to normal restaurants in Spain and order the plate of the day, it will often include meat like chicken and some form of fried potatoes, a crop unknown to them until Columbus discovered the Americas.
The Food Historian: The tomato comes alive in Europe
Hernan Cortes de Pizzaro, the conqueror of Mexico. has remained a controversial, yet influential figure for a few hundred years.
What doesn't come up very often about Cortes in the press is the notion that he deserves historical credit for introducing the tomato to Europe.

In case you haven't heard ….
In a speech to the California Nurses Association convention in San Francisco, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom encouraged state legislators to further the single-payer health care bill, SB 562 – The Healthy California Act.
The bill that would create a universal health care system in California to cover all state residents has been held in the state Assembly, with the inference that it is incomplete.
While Lt. Gov. Newsom did not formally endorse the SB 562 as it is currently written, he did state,"It's time to do that now. No one is saying it's perfect or complete, but that's not the point. That's what the legislative process is all about."
Newsom vowed a "firm and absolute commitment" to pass single-payer health care if he becomes governor next year.
The source for this information: The Mercury News: Gavin Newsom says "it's time to move" California single-payer health care bill along

Pieter van Schalkwyk (XMPro) on gaining actions out of IoT
|Pieter van Schalkwyk
|CEO at XMPro
Everybody wants to use IoT to gather data and improve decision processes.
But how is a decision for a specific action gained out of the data source systems?
XMPro offers an agile IoT suite to help companies with using IoT installments to collect data and analyze it.
Their product provides a "software solution that forms the glue between analytics, IoT data sources and the actions you get out of the analysis.", states Peter van Schalwyk, CEO at XMPro.
With XMPros's platform, a large amount of data sources, like solar panels in a solar farm, can be easily connected and analyzed. For this to work, they are combined with predictive analytic suites like SAP HANA predictive analytics.
The user gets an easy-to-understand, visual way to set up data sources and data streams from the sources to the applications.
It is then possible, to create work orders without any other human interaction.
XMPRo also offers help with setting up the installments and further integration work of their platform.
The Data Sources used for the platform come from multiple data players and IoT setups, in additon of usage of large corporate platform suites.
There are a lot of things happening at XMPro and they've got big plans for the future to consider augmented reality and likewise in their products.
As Peter van Schalwyk puts it:
"IoT is really in its infancy, it's almost a canvas at the moment for new innovation, and we got a road map that spans that whole opportunity."

DogEared Book Reviews
October 9, 2018
So, we're at that point in the year when you have more work than you can possibly imagine, you're more stressed than any person between 14 and 18 has any right be, and you're running on approximately 0 hours of sleep! You know what would make that whole load even better? Some personal reading books! But in all seriousness, if you've found yourself wanting a good book to distract you from all your work but don't have the time to go hunting for one, here are a couple of suggestions.
Book: Mosquitoland
Author: David Arnold
Rating: 5/5 Greyhound buses
David Arnold's Mosquitoland revolutionized my summer. The novel follows Mim Malone in a confusing, exciting, and at times nerve wracking journey of self discovery as she makes her way from Mississippi, aka Mosquitoland, to her sick mother in Ohio. Initially, I was put off by this book because it claims to have won, or nearly won, quite a few awards and, despite what English teachers everywhere claim, in my experience award winning books are the worst. But this one was different. The main character, Mim, and David Arnold's style grabbed me right away. The whole book is confusing in the best possible way, integrating pieces of Mim's past with her present and slowly clarifying small details page after page. Not to mention, you learn to love just about every single character, and even the most minor are so incredibly well developed. The story might appeal especially to fans of John Green. I would absolutely recommend Mosquitoland to anyone who likes a good adventure.
Book: Pet Sematary
Author: Stephen King
Rating: 3.5/5 Headstones
Pet Sematary was my first Stephen King novel, actually my first horror novel in general, and it lived up to all the hype. When Dr Louis Creed and his family move to Maine to pursue a new career, naturally they are all full of apprehension but quickly, with the help of friendly neighbors Jud and Norma Crandall, they feel totally at home. Of course, in typically Stephen King fashion, this can't last and things fall apart pretty quickly with blood and gore aplenty. The novel is just the right amount of creepy, taking constant twists and turns. The slow downfall of main character Louis Creed into insanity is absurdly eerie – my favorite aspect of this being King's repetition of various phrases, slowly growing more and more abstract and creepy. The only downside of the novel to me was its pace, which in the beginning was almost painfully slow: it felt as though almost nothing happened for about 300 pages and then in the last 100 everything fell apart.
Stay tuned for the next issue of Unleashed for more suggestions!

Crash Course: WORK Train Fight (WTF) is a boxing studio claiming to deliver "real boxing and real fitness for everyone." While this sounds pretty generic, if you live here in NYC, you know that there are plenty of studios that are more boutique and less boxing; more exclusive and less everyone. WTF offers a number of different options for Manhattanites looking to get into fighting shape, with private, semiprivate, and group classes ranging from boxing conditioning (no contact) to boxing technique (contact).
class: private session
sweat score: 10 out of 10
where: 636 Broadway, 2nd Floor | New York, NY
wear: loose clothing you can sweat in
bring: water bottle, hand wraps if you have them
instructor: Luke Barrett
perks: showers, towels, lockers, group classes or private sessions
cost: $95 for a package of 5 private sessions, group classes available on FitReserve and Classpass
"Meaghan, my friend's son is a boxing instructor in the city. You just have to check out his class."
Listen guys, when The Original Fit Crasher tells you to crash a class…you crash the class. That's just how this works. I'd check out underwater rhythmic gymnastics if so summoned.
And so, I reached out to Luke, a recent transplant from my home town of Cincinnati and son of my mom's friend. He is a personal trainer and boxing coach, and moved out here to NYC to shift his fitness career into high gear. Since boxing is the new spinning is the new hot yoga…something tells me Luke made a very good decision. If there's one thing New Yorkers love more than dark, monochromatic clothing – it's fitness trends. And boxing is currently it.
I showed up to WORK Train Fight on a Friday evening, not knowing much about the studio or what the next hour had in store for me.
The studio itself is zero frills. That doesn't mean it's dark or dingy – the opposite, actually. I found it to be clean, bright, and inviting. But don't come here expecting scented cool towels, aromatherapy shower products, or flashy lights. This place is set up to do one of three things: work hard, train hard, or fight hard.
I threw my gym bag in a locker, grabbed some gloves, and headed out to the floor to meet Luke. He took a few moments to go over my fitness goals, injuries, and ask if there was anything I'd like to focus on during our one-on-one session. We could spend all of our time in the weight room, all of our time boxing, or do a little of both.
I told him that, in a past life, I had spent a little over a year fully dedicated to Krav Maga training. That meant being in the studio multiple times week kicking, punching, and fighting like hell through class after class. I had bruises everywhere. My knuckles were perpetually torn. And I loved every single minute of it.
While that was a long time ago, I was amped to be back in a true blue boxing studio where people weren't afraid to hit or train hard. So I opted to spend 90% of our time together working on the bags. The weight room, I decided, could wait for another day.
We began with a dynamic warm up to make sure my body was ready for the workout ahead. I asked Luke about Cincinnati and why he came to NYC, and he did the same. There was some nervous laughter on my part as I realized that everyone around me was grunting, sweating, and generally killing it. This wasn't going to be a light workout. No. I was in for a real-deal sweat fest.
Luke then explained that he teaches boxing technique and the various punches on a number system. So instead of yelling out "jab", "cross", or "hook" he would yell out "one", "two" or "three." I loved this system. Especially for someone just learning or getting back into boxing after a long hiatus, the numbers were so much easier for my brain to remember in real-time over the technical terms. I found that I was able to react so much quicker. Which means, I was able to get more punches in and really maximize my time.
We practiced straight punches, and then moved on to a few combos. I was completely gassed after just a few minutes. How is it that I can run a few miles or go through an entire spin class, but feel like I'm going to pass out after five minutes of fighting?
Instead of being frustrated with how tired I was so early into the session, I used it as motivation. I obviously had a lot of work to do. Boxing, it seems, was showing me a gaping hole in my overall fitness. And I was (and still am) determined to do something about it.
After a brief break to catch my breath and shoo away the stars circling around my eyes, we worked on high and low kicks. I tend to have a stronger lower body, but again, I was out of breath within a few seconds.
Then it was on to some technical maneuvering – learning how to duck and roll away from punches in a fight. Seems important, right? Luke pulled out foam pool noodles, used in lieu of actual punches, under which I was supposed to dodge, sway, and generally get the heck out of the way. Talk about a total fail. I wish I had a video of this, because I was literally being taken down by pool noodles. I was so tired at this point that I couldn't focus on getting out of the way, and instead had foam raining down on me from left and right. Giggle fits ensued. We need to stop before I completely lose it, I argued. You need to focus and get back to work, Luke suggested.
He was right.
After a final "burn out" set of punches and kicks, we went over to the gym area to finish up the workout with an ab series.
By this point in the workout, I was a total mess. I had quite literally sweated through everything I was wearing. I was hardly able to lift my arms to take off my gloves. And oddly enough, I was having the best time.
Luke toasted my core with a few targeted exercises I had never done before. I thought planks and crunches were about as exciting as core work got these days. Boy, was I wrong. Like the work we did on the bags, Luke spared no detail when making sure I got the biggest bang for our time together. I think at one point, when trying to balance a ball between opposing limbs, I even let out a "you've got to be kidding me with this. How is this move even possible?"
Well done Luke. Standing ovation. A fun, effective, holy-smokes-whip-your-tuckus-in-shape workout in just under 60 minutes.
I can't wait to return and get back in the ring. I have a lot of work, training, and fighting to do!
Tip: If you want to book a workout with Luke, shoot him an email ([email protected]) and let him know the Fit Crasher sent you!

If you've been following our series on taking your U.S. brand global, you've learned there's a shortlist of countries that provide the best opportunities. In Europe, starting in the United Kingdom is your best bet. In the Americas, you're going to want to hit up your Canadian neighbors. But if you want to expand into Asia, selling in South Korea is a great place to start.
Show Me the Money
South Korea is home to 51.5 million people with a total GDP of 1.5 trillion USD. It was ranked as the 14th richest country in 2018. Its GDP per capita is expected to reach 31,393 USD by 2021.
This wealth helps make South Korea one of the biggest e-commerce markets worldwide. But that's not the only reason online selling in South Korea is a winning proposition. Here's more:
- South Korea has the highest average internet connection speed globally. Its people keep up with the latest technological advancements and have a high mobile adoption rate.
- Over 98% of South Korean households access the internet regularly.
- There are currently 30.5 million e-commerce shoppers in South Korea, with an additional 1.33 million expected by 2021.
- The retail ecommerce volume in South Korea will grow to 32.56 billion U.S. dollars by 2021, up from 19.12 billion U.S. dollars in 2016.
The takeaway? Easy access to online technology equals more opportunity for online sales! And South Koreans interest in online shopping only seems to be increasing.
Who Benefits?
With 90.1 billion USD in sales, China benefits the most from e-commerce selling in South Korea. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for other countries to get in on the action. Key players include:
- Japan (44.6 billion USD)
- The U.S. (42.7 billion USD)
- Germany (20.2 billion USD)
- Saudi Arabia (17.7 billion USD)
With the growth South Korea's e-commerce market is seeing, there are plenty of opportunities for U.S. sellers who want a piece of the pie.
Hunting for a Bargain… and Some Information
Unlike Canadian buyers, consumers in South Korea aren't hung up on buying products made domestically. In fact, they're inclined to purchase non-domestic products if it can save them money. They're perfectly happy purchasing from a foreign company's website and sacrificing fast delivery times in order to get lower prices.
In addition, tech-savvy Korean consumers like to be well-informed when purchasing a product. They hunt down all the information they can, thoroughly researching products online—especially through social media—before making a purchase.
The Products South Koreans Are Looking For
Young Koreans like to purchase apparel and fashion accessories that allow them to express their individuality. On the other hand, the middle-to-upper-class, aspiring to lifestyles portrayed by the media, have a keen interest in high-quality luxury goods.
That said, topping South Korea's list of e-commerce categories is Travel and Transportation Services, with Clothing and Home Electronics close behind. The chart below, from Statista, shows the top ten product categories in South Korea in 2017 (currencey: South Korean won, in billions).
The most popular foreign sourced products from online retailers by Koreans in 2017 were:
- Dietary supplements (16%)
- Cosmetics (14%)
- Food (13%)
- Apparel (12%)
- Footwear (8%)
- Electronics (7%)
Duties and taxes when shipping to South Korea
Importing and shipping to Korea is easier and quicker than many other countries—a major reason e-commerce in South Korea is flourishing.
Duties are calculated on the CIF (Cost-Insurance-Freight) value of the imports. As of January 1, 2018, 92.3% of U.S. products enter Korea duty-free. Under the Korean-US Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA), express courier service mailed goods under $200 are duty free when sourced from the U.S., and items "made in the U.S.A." under $1,000 are exempt from KORUS FTA documentation.
When selling in South Korea, be aware different items require different taxes and documentation. There's a 10% Value Added Tax (VAT) on all imports. A special excise tax of 10-20% is levied on certain luxury items and durable consumer goods.
Check out export.gov for more detailed information on duties and taxes when shipping to South Korea.
If you're looking to expand your e-commerce business into the Asian market, South Korea is the perfect starting point. With their love of technology and their ever-growing desire for foreign goods, South Koreans are likely to make great customers for U.S.-based online brands.
Need help getting started? We suggest you choose an order fulfillment partner with fulfillment centers in Asia (or even in South Korea itself) to keep shipping costs low and delivery times fast. With its South Korean warehouse, Simple Global could be the perfect choice. Contact us today to see how we can help.
