It has been exactly 2 years, 7 months and 12 days since I had been tuned out or been out of touch with me. I did not notice this until recently when it was pointed out to me. I did not mind it either because this tuning out wasn't a hostile takeover. There was no distress signal nor panic SOS sent by my body or mind. It was so subtle that it became the new me, who you see today.
The new me went through emotional, physical and mental changes. Changes that didn't matter. Because all that mattered was the puny little being I was holding in my arms. A beautiful life that was bestowed upon me to serve and protect.
Each birth, whether your first, third or sixth, is unique and special. The nurturing too adapts to your current lifestyle.
My most recent birthing was the quickest and caught many by surprise, even my gynecologist. She (my gyne) was certain with the timing of my delivery and assured my husband that he had plenty of time to grab lunch and do all necessary arrangements for the baby's arrival.
I don't recall how long it had been since my husband and the doctor left me in birthing room but the stillness and peace turned chaotic when I buzzed a nurse to give me something to ease my pain. Although I made it clear that I wanted a drug-free, natural birth, didn't matter at that moment because the contraction pain came every two minutes and lasted for one whole minute!
'Just give me something, damn it!'
I begged and then demanded because the pain was getting unbearable and I wasn't going to let myself endure this pain for the next 6 long hours - the doctor made it very clear that I would be delivering around 6 pm and it was only 1 pm when I asked for pain killers.
To which she responded 'Hold It IN! We are not ready!'
I had already dilated to 9 cm, so epidural was out of the question. Instead, she forced me to lie down and began dislodging the lower half of my bed.
To help me cope with my pain and to prevent me from pushing, because I was so ready to push, she gave me Entonox gas but forgot to mention that I should not inhale too much and too quickly.
Time seemed to have almost stood still and the pain was almost gone. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion pace. It honestly felt like a scene from my favorite movie, Inception the van drop scene or the scene where Neo dodges bullets in The Matrix.
I only snapped out of my 'tripping' when I heard the anxious nurse screaming 'She's here!'
But I was still a wee bit mellow (wasted) and felt wobbly like a jello when the doctor finally managed to join in the fun. I barely understood what she was saying. All I could make out was PUSH, breathe and last BIG PUSH.
As soon as my angel was in my arms, all pain and drama had been forgotten. I held her close to my bare chest and could not believe how beautiful and calm she was. That immediately fast forwarded me to real time and I became very aware. Clutching her and not letting the nurse take her away to clean my infant.
As I let her lay on my chest, hoping she would start suckling that was when my husband walked in on us and stopped mid-way his loud announcement that he had Chee Cheong Fun for lunch. He was too surprised and became speechless when he saw us. He was a little disappointed too because this was the first time he had missed the birth of his daughter.
Time to relearn
It is fair to assume a mother holding her second or third newborn to be an expert at parenting but it is not. Especially if you having a child after a long pause from your previous birth.
My chronicles with baby three began from the get-go itself.
Getting her to latch on was the toughest. Nothing seemed to help, not even my special breastfeeding pillow that came with many promises or my past experience (which by the way, were wiped clean off my memory circuit board). Breastfeeding is a skill but not like riding a bicycle skill, which once mastered cannot be forgotten.
I forgot all about breastfeeding and did not succeed feeding her. No nurse came to my aid because they must have assumed I knew what to do. 'After all, she is not a new mother', they must have convened and agreed upon.
I forgot all about breastfeeding and did not succeed feeding her. No nurse came to my aid because they must have assumed I knew what to do. 'After all, she is not a new mother', they must have convened and agreed upon.
After trying, for what seemed like a lifetime, to get her to latch on, I caved into my exhaustion and allowed the nurse to feed her formula milk. 'Just one feed, so mummy can recuperate', I promised my little angel as the nurse took her away.
Breastfeeding journey
There were no formula milk or baby bottles in my house because I wasn't expecting to return home with an infant. It was supposed to be a routine trimester check up.
The silver lining to this, it eliminated all temptations to rely on formula milk and forced me to exclusively breastfeed.
I shan't lie and say it was a beautiful journey from the beginning because it was just the opposite of that. There wasn't any magical breastfeeding moment nor did it look as calm or beautiful as the mother seen on breastfeeding posters - smiling lovingly at her infant latched onto her breast.
My face was a far cry from looking serene or relaxed. I loved my baby with all my heart but all I could think of was, for the breastfeeding session to end soon because she was latched onto me 24/7 and my nipples felt like a suction tube with a powerful motor was fixed onto it!
Relieve came only when she drifted off to sleep while suckling. It gave a small window of opportunity for me to heal my broken and blistered niples from being overly sucked.
But I am glad I stuck by it because breastfeeding is truly rewarding and has many benefits which you would see if you are patient and believe the wisdom shared by other breastfeeding moms. 'It will only get better', was the best advise I got and I stuck by it. True, it took a lot of sacrifices but it is all worth it in the end.
Breastfeeding a toddler.
Anyone who is aware of the benefits of breastfeeding will encourage and some blessed souls will support you emotionally throughout your breastfeeding journey to overcome the hurdles together. I was truly blessed to have a few of them in my life. But it's a whole new ball game breastfeeding a toddler or any child older than two years old.
The enthusiasm shown when you are breastfeeding a newborn diminishes and some ignorant poor bastards even raised an eyebrow at my announcement that I was still breastfeeding beyond my baby's second birthday.
You will face a complete different set of challenges at this stage which mostly will be external factors and some might feel that it is their duty to 'educate' you. You will get unsolicited 'expert' advice such as 'she will become too dependent and wouldn't grow up with confidence' or my favourite, 'you are teaching her to be indecent by letting her expose your boobs like that in public!' For the record, it's harder for me to breastfeed her in public than it is for your to ogle but I will NOT breastfeed her in a public toilet. If you eat your food in a restaurant, I won't make her eat hers in a restroom. It is a simple as that.
You will receive tons of negative remarks, snides and funny looks but for the worth of breastfeeding, I endured it because the ease you get from breastfeeding is simply incomparable - imagine no more bottles, flask to carry hot water, milk containers and more that will only weigh down your diaper bag.
It's not all that bleak because there were days I received compliments and reassuring looks from some loving souls. This made it easier for me to breastfeed her anywhere, anytime.
There was a beautiful person who once sat in front of me because she saw me struggling to keep my toddler from pulling my shirt up and exposing my breasts. "Don't worry, I will cover you" were her only words. Tears rolled down my cheek because it was just that what I needed at that moment, some reassurance. I was too stunned by her act of kindness to even thank her.
Benefits of breastfeeding are not exclusive for infants, there tons for toddlers too. Some cultures encourage breastfeeding for as long you can. Does that mean I am going to breastfeed till my child goes to college? Perhaps but that decision is solely mine - but worry not, honestly I won't do that. My husband and I are anxiously waiting for her to say no to breast so I can tune it and start feeling differently about my body. But until then I will enjoy my intimate moments with my toddler.
Breastfeeding rocks!
Lets get connected:

Are They Waiting for the Angels to Descend?
The major portion of Surah Al-Anaam has been revealed to correct the beliefs and deeds of the people of Makkah and to remove their doubts and to answer questions raised by them. All through the Surah, especially in the previous Ayaat, the people of Makkah and the rest of Arabia were given to understand that they had seen open signs and miracles at the hands of the Prophet salAllahu `alayhi wa sallam. They had heard about the prophecies of past books and prophets about him. Then, they had themselves listened to the recitation of the Qur'an from one totally unlettered (Ummiyy) – a standing miracle on its own. Now the avenues of truth lay 'open' before them.
The argument of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala stood conclusively established against them. Believing was all they needed to do. What else could it be they were waiting for before they would do that? This subject was eloquently put in this ayah. [Maarif-ul-Qur'an]
Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says,
Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala sternly threatens the disbelievers, those who defy His Messengers, deny His Ayaat, and hinder from His path. Are these people waiting to believe only when the angels of death reach them, or are they waiting to be on the plains of Resurrection when Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala will come to decide destinies, or are they waiting to see some last signs of the coming of the fateful Day. That the Most Exalted Rabb of all shall appear on the Judgment Day has been mentioned in several Ayaat of the Qur'an.
In Surah al-Baqarah Ayah 210, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says,
"Do they await but that Allah should come to them in covers of clouds and the angels [as well] and the matter is [then] decided? And to Allah [all] matters are returned."
[Read: Tafseer Surah al-Baqarah Ayah 210]
About the coming of the signs, Ibn Katheer writes before the commencement of the Day of Resurrection, there will appear signs and portents of the Last Hour that will be witnessed by the people living at the time. In a section about this Ayah, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Huraira radhiAllahu `anhu said that the Messenger of Allah said,
لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا فَإِذَا رَآهَا النَّاسُ آمَنَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَذَلِكَ حِين
"The Last Hour will not commence until the sun rises from the west. When the people witness that, they will all believe. This is when: 'no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before.'"
Ibn Jareer recorded that Abu Huraira said that the Messenger of Allah said,
ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا خَرَجْنَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْل أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا، طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَالدَّجَّالُ وَدَابَّةُ الْأَرْض
"Three, if they appear, then a soul will not benefit from its faith, if it had not believed before or earned good in its faith: when the sun rises from the west, Ad-Dajjal and the Beast of the earth."
Ahmad also recorded this hadetthh, and in his narration, the Prophet mentioned the Smoke. Imam Ahmad recorded that `Amr bin Jareer said, "Three Muslim men sat with Marwan in Madina and they heard him talking about the signs (of the Last Hour). He said that the first sign will be the appearance of Ad-Dajjal. So these men went to `Abdullah bin `Amr and told him what they heard from Marwan about the signs. Ibn `Amr said, Marwan said nothing. I remember that I heard the Messenger of Allah saying,
إِنَّ أَوَّلَ الْآياتِ خُرُوجًا طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَخُرُوجُ الدَّابَّةِ ضُحًى فَأَيَّتُهُمَا كَانَتْ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَتِهَا فَالْأُخْرَى عَلَى أَثَرِهَا
"The first of the signs to appear are the sun rising from the west and the Beast that appears in the early morning. Whichever comes before the other, then the second sign will appear soon after it."
Then `Abdullah said – and he used to read the Scriptures – "And I think the first of them is the sun rising from the west. That is because when it sets it comes under the Throne, prostrates and seeks permission to return. So it is permitted to return until Allah wants it to rise from the west. So it does as it normally would, it comes beneath the Throne, it prostrates and seeks permission to return. But it will get no response. Then it will seek permission to return (again), but it will get no response, until what Allah wills of the night to pass goes by, and it realizes that if it is permitted to return it would not (be able to) reach the east. It says; 'My Lord! The east is so far, what good would I be to the people?' Until the horizons appear as a (lightless) ring, it seeks permission to return and is told; 'Rise from your place,' so it rises upon the people from where it set." Then he recited,
لاَ يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ ءَامَنَتْ مِن قَبْلُ
"…no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before…" [6:158] This was also recorded by Muslim in his Saheeh, and Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah in their Sunans.
Allah's statement,
لاَ يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ ءَامَنَتْ مِن قَبْلُ
means, when the disbeliever believes then, it will not be accepted from him. As for those who were believers before, if they earned righteous deeds, they will have earned a great deal of good. If they had not done good nor repented before then, it will not be accepted from them, according to the ahadeeth that we mentioned. This is also the meaning of Allah's statement,
أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِى إِيمَـنِهَا خَيْرًا
Meaning, one's good deeds will not be accepted from him unless he performed good deeds before.
Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani writes that the warning given here is that, as soon as some of these signs of Allah appear, the doors of Tawbah (repentance) will be closed. Anyone who had not come to believe before this happens will find his or her declaration of faith after that as unacceptable. As for a person who had believed before but had done nothing by way of good deeds will find that his or her act of Tawbah and the resolve to be good in future deeds – after these signs – are not acceptable. In short, that will be ominous time when the Tawbah of a disbeliever from his disbelief and the Tawbah of a sinner from his sin and disobedience, even if offered, will not be accepted. Emaan and Tawbah can be accepted only up to the time it remains within the choice of a person. Faith under duress and repentance under threat are not acceptable.
There are many Ayaat which mention how the people condemned to Hell will start wailing on arrival there. They will make big promises that should they be returned back to the mortal world, they would do nothing but believe and be good in deeds. But, the answer given to them will be: The time for belief and deed is over. What you are saying now is because you have no other choice. This is not valid. [Maarif-ul-Qur'an]
Allah said next, "Say: Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting.'" This is a stern threat to the disbelievers and a sure promise for those who delay embracing the faith and repenting until a time when faith or repentance shall not avail. This will occur when the sun rises from the west because the Last Hour will then be imminent and its major signs will have begun to appear.
Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala said in other Ayaat,
"Do they then await (anything) other than the Hour, that it should come upon them suddenly But some of its portents have already come; and when it is upon them, how can they benefit then by their reminder?" [Surah Muhammad : 18] and,
"So when they saw Our punishment, they said: 'We believe in Allah alone and reject (all) that we used to associate with Him as partners.' Then their faith could not avail them when they saw Our punishment." [Surah Ghafir : 84-85]
– Sometimes we delay doing good for unjustified reasons. This Ayah tells us don't wait. Whatever good that you want to do, do it 'now'. Don't wait for the Angel of Death to appear when you would say, "O please give me some time and I promise I will start doing good. I will be regular in my prayers, I will give charity, I will read and act according to the Qur'an," and so on.
After this Surah was revealed the Prophet salAllahu `alayhi wa sallam left Makkah and migrated to Madina. It was then that the Battle of Badr took place and the top leaders of Muhsrikeen all got killed. Soon after Shirk completely evaporated from the Arabian Peninsula.

Strategies of Financial investment experts
A young and pretty lady posted this on a online popular forum:
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year.
I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on
the west of New York City Garden (?), $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be
your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)
Ms. Pretty
Here's a reply from a Wall Street Financial trader:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls
out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to
analyze your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very
simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to
do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and
Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly
problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone
without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from
year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the
viewpoint of financial strategies, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a
depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential
depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much
worried 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating
with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we
will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same
goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this,
but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation
value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income
is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would
advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by
the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k
annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do
contact me…

Ha ha ha! That was ABSOLUTELY priceless, Shobhit!
In fact, I very much wonder why people get married at all !! Especially in India -- in the west at least you have the excuse that you're "in love" (that you have temporarily taken leave of your senses, and so are not to blame for that disastrous decision you took). But here in India, you don't even have that excuse (in most cases -- arranged marriages still continue to be par for the course).
I mean, WHY would anyone want to trade their freedom for lifelong bondage, lifelong worries about a hundred and one things...?
With heartfelt condolences to all of you there who wistfully agree with what I'm saying,
A confirmed bachelor.

HÀ NỘI — FIFA will help Việt Nam develop women's football in the central region, according to FIFA football expert Belinda Wilson.
The Australian said she met with the Việt Nam Football Federation (VFF) managers and heads of concerned departments to develop a suitable strategy for Việt Nam in Hà Nội.
According to Wilson, Việt Nam's women's football now only focuses on the northern and southern region. While there are no teams in the central region taking part in the National Women's Football Tournament.
Wilson said it is necessary to create resources to develop Vietnamese women football.
Việt Nam was recently chosen to be part of a project of the world football governing body. The country will join an 18-month programme to develop youth football.
According to deputy chairman of the VFF, Trần Quốc Tuấn, the federation wants to stablise the development of women's football.
There are many solutions to be completed including linking with programmes on junior football development of the Asian Football Confederation and taking full use of facilities and coaches of the Việt Nam Youth Football Training Centre. — VNS

Latest in the Pipeline and Why Organic Produce is Better than ConventionalPosted: February 19, 2009 in felted, handmade, health, organic food, purse
New bag in the works, one of those ideas that just appears out of nowhere — a triangle purse cut from two felted Jones New York sweaters. I love the shape!! All that's missing is a really great lining, which means a shopping trip to International Silks and Woolens on Beverly Drive.
For me, going to ISW is like taking a drug addict on a tour of the evidence lockers at the police station — I'm just dumbfounded by all the amazing fabric. Not to mention an entire separate room with notions!! It's sort of like getting a preview of what it would be like to die and go to heaven (which in real life is pretty much a long shot).
Now for the health news: Check out this piece, via Yahoo News and Time magazine, explaining why produce is probably not as healthful today as it was in our grandparents' day. The money info is toward the end (last couple of paragraphs). Basically, experts tend to agree that the pesticides and other chemicals used to grow conventional fruits and veggies rob them of nutrients. So go organic!! And don't make me tell you twice, okay — just do it. More on organic benefits later …

Have you ever experienced a period of time where nothing goes right for you? We all probably have at some point, or will. I seem to have had a rash of bad circumstances lately. Some of them are life altering.
My car breaks down and it is not a minor fix. Then my computer crashes and it is not a minor fix either. It takes a couple of overhauls to finally get my computer running right.
My car? Let's not talk about that. One of my friends at church joking with me told me that he and his buddies knew what to get me to help me out. A mountain bike and a note pad! We both laughed. We also both know that his day will come when nothing goes right for him too.
Health problems. Relationship problems at home or work. Child raising problems. Broken cars and broken computers. Did I mention an appliance to fix or repair?
At times like these one would like to limit trouble and hassles to one-a-day. Unfortunately they usually come to us in bunches. Sometimes BIG bunches.
When this happens, do you ask, "Why?" I do! I want to fix it and stop it or get out of the pain as soon as possible. I want an explanation for why this is happening to me. I want to find the "cause" that brought the "effect" of all these bad things. Is it just bad luck? Bad karma? Is God mad at me? Is it just life and life sucks?
The optimist tells me that for every dark cloud there is a rainbow on the other side. Or, when life hand me lemons that I am supposed to make lemonade. Wonderful. But I do not find too much comfort in that sentiment in the midst of my pain and frustration. On the other hand, the pessimist tells me that life sucks and then we die. Great. Will someone put me out of my misery, please!? Neither philosophical approach to life adequately answers the question "why?" in the midst of suffering.
Unfortunately, there are no simple answers to that simple question. Sometimes it's just life. Life can be harsh. We live in a world taken over by sin and wickedness. Both good and bad happen to people all the time whether they themselves are good or bad. So, it is not a reflection upon me. It is a reflection upon the environment I live in. People I don't know, circumstances I can't foresee or control can change my life forever.
At other times, I have to honestly look myself in the mirror and say, "It's your own fault." Whether lack of experience, lack of wisdom, lack of knowledge, or just plain stupidity, I sometimes cause my own greatest pain. I will freely admit it. There are times when I am my own worst enemy. However, I can learn from these experiences and go on while I reap the consequences of my own actions.
Or, you may have "Job's Comforters" to help you dig yourself a hole of guilt and shame. You've sinned and so God is judging you. That's why all these bad things are happening to you. God is mad at you for your imperfections.
You ever hear that? I've heard it. Sometimes from my closest friends. Then they stay away from me as if I had the plague and "God's judgment" was contagious.
I see many people today loaded down with shame and guilt. Our society seems to thrive on it. Some people's relationship with God is based upon a constant sense of shame and guilt. They are never good enough. God is always waiting to strike them with lightning if they don't get it right.
This is a very faulty view of God, yet one that is so predominant in our world. Thus, we are forced to paganistically try to appease the wrath of God. Every bad thing that occurs in our life then just reinforces to us that we have not got it right yet. And so we toil under the weight of shame, guilt, and condemnation trying to make "it" right with God.
Yes, sometimes we do suffer the consequences of our own sinful actions. But that is not God hammering us. It is reaping what we sowed. Just like the laws of physics, there are laws of the human spirit, laws of human relationships, and laws of behavior. We all violate them at our own risk. And it doesn't matter whether you know about the law or not. It's just the way life works. Either you know and understand them, or life will be very difficult.
Many of our insurance policies make allowance for "An Act of God." When bad thing fall upon you, are you apt to look to heaven and ask, "What did I do to deserve that?" You're in company. Most people do. However, when things do not go right in life, it is not always "An Act of God." The Bible tells us a different story about God's actions toward us, even in our rebellious and sinful state.
The Good News that is in Christ Jesus is that He did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world. The world is already under judgment and condemned. He didn't come to add to it. He came to remove people out from underneath the guilt, shame, and condemnation.
In other words, God is on your side. He wants to free you and me from the prison of shame and guilt. He wants to remove the sense of condemnation that comes every time something bad happens in your life. He wants to raise you above such circumstances with the assurance of his presence and power that will help you get through and overcome such demoralizing events. They no long have to have power over you. They no longer have to shape your life, how you feel about yourself or how you see God – even when it is your own doing. Like a loving parent, he does not cast you out of his household. Instead, he comes with reassurance to say, "Come here. Let's get you cleaned up so you can keep going."
So, when trouble strikes, it is not God "out to get you." In our own doing, or just because we live in an imperfect world, things happen to us. When they do happen, even at our own doing, we no longer need to look for guilt and shame from God but for help and power to overcome. After all, he's on our side now.

While I love September and the onset of Autumn, there is also a feeling of sadness. On the one hand, every beautiful day is a gift, for the next may bring cold weather, snow or sleet. So we cherish it, hanging on to each hour and minute. We take one more trip to the beach or mountains before packing up our summer paraphernalia for another season.
On the other hand, we know the clock is ticking, the leaves are falling, and winter will soon be here. It's difficult to keep those thoughts from encroaching, even on the most blue-skied, sunshine-filled, dazzling day.
And so we feel just the slightest tinge of melancholy. Or maybe not. Maybe you are one of those people who love winter. You are waxing your skis, checking out the snowmobile, sharpening the skate blades in happy anticipation of those first, fat flakes of snow.
Not me. I'm airing my quilt, stocking up on hot chocolate, and loading my e-reader with books. I know what I'm doing this winter.
But in the meantime, there are wonderful sunny days ahead to enjoy and I don't intend to let impending
doom Winter spoil them. The Earth spins and each season has its turn. Maybe you favor one over the other, or maybe you take each one as it comes with its own special wonder.
Meantime, there are books.And I don't even have to wait for Winter. I have a deck and a comfy chair where I can watch the first leaves fall, the hummingbirds fill up for their annual migration, and the butterflies get drunk on the fermenting persimmons.
And read.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more susceptible to stress, anxiety and depression than typically developing individuals. Previous research suggests that mindfulness is effective in reducing a myriad of psychological health problems in a wide variety of populations. This review systematically investigated the efficacy of mindfulness interventions in reducing stress, anxiety, depression, rumination and aggression and increasing positive affect and psychological well-being in individuals with ASD. Six studies met inclusion criteria; each mindfulness program curriculum and process of delivery were analysed. A quality assessment rated three studies as weak, one as adequate and two as strong in research design strength. Results indicate that mindfulness training leads to a reduction in anxiety and thought problems in children in addition to increased social responsiveness, broad psychological well-being and reduced aggression in adolescents. Mindfulness training reduced anxiety, depression and rumination whilst increasing positive affect in adults with high-functioning ASD. The studies included a range of participants, methodologies and measures corroborating the robustness of mindfulness interventions resulting in positive psychological changes in individuals with ASD. Future research should address the methodological limitations of the studies in this review in order to develop superior mindfulness interventions that are to be considered evidence-based practice aimed at enhancing the quality of life of individuals with ASD.

A multiple probe design across skills was used to examine the effects of behaviour skills training (BST) on teaching four reading comprehension skills (predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing) to a 7th grade student with autism. Following baseline, the student received 12 sessions of BST during which each skill was taught to criterion. At each session, data was also collected on the accuracy of oral responses to 10 comprehension questions. BST was associated with clear gains in the participant's performance on each comprehension skill, along with concomitant gains in reading comprehension both on the daily probes and a standardized measure. Skills maintained at follow-up support the conclusion that BST was effective in improving the comprehension skills of a child with autism.

There is increasing interest in the use of technology in supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review examined single-case studies investigating the use of technology to support self-management interventions for individuals with ASD. The studies were assessed against the What Works Clearinghouse standards (Institute of Education Sciences 2014) for methodological rigor. Twelve studies met inclusion criteria, and treatment effects were calculated using the percentage of non-overlapping data (Scruggs et al. Remedial and Special Education, 8(2), 24–33, 1987). Results showed that the use of technology to support self-management interventions is effective for individuals with ASD. Furthermore, this review highlights a need for more rigorous studies to ascertain the efficacy of the use of technology to support self-management for individuals with ASD outside school settings.

Parenting a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often associated with reduced quality of life, high stress, depression and anxiety due to the ongoing nature of care. This review systematically investigated the efficacy of mindfulness interventions in reducing stress and increasing psychological wellbeing in parents of children with ASD. A comprehensive electronic database search was conducted for relevant articles. Only studies investigating parental stress or a measure of psychological wellbeing in parents of children with ASD post a mindfulness-based intervention were included. Ten studies met inclusion criteria; each was examined for treatment fidelity. All included studies contributed at least one self-report finding supporting the efficacy of mindfulness interventions in reducing stress and increasing psychological wellbeing. Three studies included physiological measures of reduced stress and emotional responses. Two reported concomitant improvements in child behavior. Mindfulness-based interventions potentially have long-term positive effects on stress levels and psychological wellbeing of parents of children with ASD, in addition to enhancing their child's behavior. Future research is needed to develop a cost and time effective intervention aimed at maximising efficacy of current interventions in children with ASD and their parents.

A multiple-baseline across behaviors design was employed to investigate the effects of a video modeling intervention incorporating real and animated models and a chaining procedure, on increasing independent toileting skills in two young boys diagnosed with ASD. Results showed this intervention was effective in reducing the number of prompts required for the boys to walk to the toilet, undress, sit on and urinate in the toilet, redress and flush. Gains were maintained over a 4 week period and generalized to other settings. Both participants could independently complete the toileting sequence post-intervention. The current study contributes to the small body of research literature regarding toilet training and video modeling, providing evidence for a rapid and effective toilet training method, and introduced the use of animation to overcome obvious practical limitations in depicting a sensitive private event such as toileting.

Adults with autism spectrum disorder are underrepresented in the workforce. This review examined single case design research investigating vocational interventions for this population. Reporting of generalization and social validity data was also assessed. Eighteen studies met inclusion criteria. They were categorized as Behavioral Skills Training, video-based instruction, or self-management procedures. Only Behavioral Skills Training meets replication standards to be considered effective and evidence-based for this population. Video-based instruction and self-management procedures are emerging with few studies completed and variable effects. Social validity was underreported and limited in focus. Future research should include considering error correction procedures and feedback in video-based instruction, trialing self-management procedures, and greater attention to social validity.

This study examined the effectiveness of point-of-view video modeling in a forward-chaining procedure to teach a 4-year-old boy with autism to serve himself an afternoon snack. Task analysis was undertaken, and the task was divided into 3 phases with 1 video produced for each phase. A changing criterion design was used to evaluate the effects of the intervention on the participant's ability to independently prepare and serve himself Weetbix. The results indicated that the combination of point-of-view modeling and forward chaining was effective in teaching the child to serve himself a snack without any prompting. The results also indicated that although the skill was maintained at follow-up, generalization to snacks other than Weetbix and to a different setting was limited. Parents reported satisfaction both with the procedures undertaken and with the outcomes of the intervention.

Despite the increasing number of studies investigating eye gaze patterns in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during passive viewing of stimuli, few studies have focused on gaze behaviour of people with ASD during active task engagement. Active engagement may cue these individuals to allocate gaze to task-related information and display typical eye gaze patterns, whereas in the absence of cues, they demonstrate weak central coherence and tend to allocate attention to specific, yet irrelevant, visual detail in the environment. If individuals with ASD are exhibiting typical eye gaze patterns when engaged in everyday tasks, then interventions targeting gaze remediation may be misguided. The present review, therefore, aimed to investigate whether (1) individuals with ASD consistently exhibited atypical eye gaze patterns when actively engaged in tasks and (2) atypical eye gaze was associated with skill deficits in regard to task performance. Typical gaze patterns were found during reading, following instructions, and memory tasks, while atypical gaze patterns were evident in driving, word learning, and imitation tasks. Atypical gaze patterns were only associated with impairments in imitation performance, whereas individuals with ASD and typically developing controls performed equally on word learning and driving tasks, suggesting that atypical gaze patterns were not associated with a general performance deficit.

Self-management strategies have been shown to be widely effective. However, limited classroom-based research exists involving low performing but developmentally normal high school-aged participants. This study examined the effectiveness of a self-management strategy aimed at increasing on-task behavior in general education classrooms with students without a diagnosed disability, behavior disorder, or exceptionality. The self-management package included provision of a tactile prompt, training in self-monitoring and data recording, self-monitoring, and the plotting of the results on a cumulative graph. A multiple baseline design across three participants was used to evaluate the effects of the intervention. An increase in on-task behavior was observed with all participants on implementation of the self-management package, and questionnaire-based social validity findings suggest this was an acceptable and effective procedure for the classroom context. Limitations, implications, and future directions of these findings are discussed.

Complying with common instructions is considered an important skill, critical to school success; however, students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit low levels of compliance creating barriers to their inclusion in regular general education school settings. While self-management interventions have the potential to address compliance issues, there has been little research investigating their effectiveness in regular education school settings that include young children with ASD. Accordingly, the present study examined the effects of a self-management intervention for two 8-year-old boys with ASD and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. A multiple-baseline across settings design was used. Results indicated that the intervention was associated with increased rates of compliance and concomitant increases in on-task behavior for both participants within their respective classroom. Effects were maintained at follow-up, and social validity ratings suggested that the intervention was highly acceptable for both the students and their teachers. This study contributes to the knowledge base on effective and feasible interventions to support the inclusion of children with ASD in general education settings.

The Ibanez Flying pan is a superb analogue mono-in stereo-out phaser/panner pedal, that sounds best on guitars or keys/synths, but as well as a studio mix effect. Naturally it works in mono, but it's with stereo output, whether to two amps or in the studio, that it really shines.
Fantastic Ibanez sound quality and low noise floor.
The reissue can easily be distinguished by the dual LED and a standard 9 Volt power socket.

Memorial Services for Bill Hollinger, longtime Athletic Director, coach, teacher and administrator, who died April 9, will be held at 3 p.m. May 1 in the Price Gymnasium on Hiram's campus.
The memorial service will feature remembrances of many of Hollinger's friends and family and be followed by a reception. If you have memories of "Coach" Hollinger, please post them in the comments section below.
Below is the note to campus written by Hiram College President Thomas V. Chema:
I am saddened to share with you the news that our dear friend and colleague Bill Hollinger passed away today, April 9, 2011. He was 89 years old.
Coach, as Bill was affectionately known, is a Hiram legend having touched the lives of hundreds of Hiram students as a coach, teacher, and administrator. Bill was a gentle, unassuming man who represented all that was good about intercollegiate athletics and the best of Hiram College. Coach was truly one of the most beloved members of our community. His mark on the Department of Athletics at Hiram can still be felt due to his dedicated service and the impact he had on the lives of all those who were blessed to know him. He was a true scholar who was known nationally for his expertise in the fields of physical education, health, and recreation.
A 1943 graduate of Hiram College, Bill earned his master's degree from Stanford University. After seven years of teaching and coaching at Ripon College in Wisconsin, he returned to his alma mater as Director of Athletics and head of the department of physical education. For 33 years, Bill coached football, men's basketball, track & field, and baseball. He was Hiram's head basketball coach and won more than 300 games during his career.
Throughout his career, Coach Hollinger brought wonderful visibility to Hiram College as one of the most respected athletic administrators in all of the NCAA. Bill was a four-time member of the NCAA Div. III selection committee and received the Distinguished Service Award from the Ohio House of Representatives. Along the way he was inducted into the Portage County Hall of Fame, the Hiram College Hall of Fame, and the Garfield Society.
Coach formally retired from his position here at Hiram in 1989, but remained close to the institution and was an integral part of the athletic department as an ambassador, mentor, and advisor to the coaches and staff who have followed in his footsteps. Our Athletic Hall of Fame is named in honor of him and seeks to recognize the profound impact Bill had on Hiram College.
Bill's wife, Esther, who passed away in 1993, was a 1942 graduate of Hiram. Daughters Susan '83 and Jeanne '75 graduated from Hiram while daughters, Jan and Judy, earned their degrees from the College of Wooster.
Coach was a great man who made the lives of many people better with his hard work and generosity of spirit. I join you in mourning his loss.

The demand for 2nd-hand furnishings by no means actually drops significantly, even in good economic times. The strong need for utilised office furnishings need to not be tough to imagine, even for the duration of great economic moments. Most youthful corporations deficiency the money to purchase new home furniture. These organizations choose getting top quality used furnishings, and using the income they saved on increasing their company. If you go by way of your neighborhood newspapers and look through web sites, you will see that they are saturated with ads, selling great high quality and present day home furniture. Even although new furniture is nonetheless being produced in high volumes, the demand from customers for employed furnishings hasn't dropped.
When picking furnishings for your place of work, you ought to be extremely mindful about your funds constraints. Be it new office home furniture, utilized place of work home furniture or even place of work home furniture for rent you must not go on a shelling out spree. The very last two alternatives are a significant price-reducing strategy and can conserve you significant amounts of money.
Basically, you can discover any sort of utilized office household furniture these days, from elegant modern furniture to old-fashioned antique home furniture. Also, if the household furniture is not acquired for a lengthy time, its price tag may be decreased, sometimes by ten-fifteen% at a time.
There is a wide assortment of very good top quality present day furnishings on the market place, which folks finish up promoting for assortment of factors. For a bankrupt organization or one going out of company, the ideal selection with regards to all of their furnishings is to market it at discounted charges and get whatever volume of funds out of it.
Furniture for your business office is one particular of the few products which could actually not be really worth buying new, since some tough furnishings, these kinds of as business office tables, desks, and cabinets, very last a really prolonged time. These items can be bought employed at each discounted value, and they will final you for several a long time. Essentially, personal motives might be one of the only reasons for not purchasing utilized furnishings. Some folks do not like getting any things which have been utilized.
What must you be particular about when hunting for your home furniture? Previously mentioned all, the household furniture should be in excellent doing work problem. Employed furnishings is normally offered for about half of its unique retail value and it can't be exchanged or returned.
Hunting in your nearby newspaper labeled advertisements, exactly where the owners of the home furniture frequently put their adverts by themselves is a excellent place to commence. Alternatively, you may possibly take a appear at specialised online websites, with person-welcoming catalogs, like images and charges of the obtainable employed place of work household furniture. I found Craigslist to be a great place to discover quality utilised furniture, and even new furnishings, and deeply discounted prices. Also, it truly is a great idea to locate a website, which states the two positives and negatives of the obtainable employed home furniture.

The gym is my temple.
It is my sanctuary from the outside world.
All of the bullshit from life gets put on hold. My failures and regrets get pushed to the side. I forget about money and work. I forget about failed relationships and drama.
I forget about my insecurities and fears. My anger and sadness melt away. It is just me versus myself. My own willpower and strength are on display.
My blood is pumping and I'm sweating. I feel alive and energized. I reflect on all the good things in my life. Positivity is coursing through my veins.
I put on my headphones and connect with the music. I drown out everything around me and vibe with the beat. The harder I work the better I feel. My vision is focused and my mind is cleansed.
Everyone around me is working hard too. They each have their own struggle. I feel a connection with them: we are all here for a similar reason. We draw off each other's determination and strength.
I stop when I'm exhausted and my muscles are sore. I feel purified, baptized. I feel like a new man. No drug can give me this same feeling. No doctor or priest can prescribe this. This is my therapy and no one can bother me here.
The gym is my temple.

Remarks of Minister Soini at press conference with Minister Wallström
Remarks of Foreign Minister Timo Soini at the press conference with Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström. Helsinki, 16 March 2017.
- Jag är mycket glad över att utrikesminister Wallström (Margot) igen besöker Helsingfors. Jag vill tacka dig för en givande och öppen diskussion idag.
- Finland och Sverige är varandras viktigaste grannar. Vikten av goda grannar stärks i ett läge av osäkerhet och förändring. Jag uppskattar den goda kontakten oss ministrar emellan.
- We have discussed a wide range of issues today, including the future of the EU, UN Security Council agenda, the security situation in the Baltic Sea region and Russia and forging closer foreign and security policy cooperation between our countries.
- As a step in the deepening of our foreign and security policy cooperation, we will organise a high-level seminar on foreign policy issues, the Hanalys Conference. It will be held in Hanaholmen on 5 and 6 September 2017 and is part of Finland's centenary celebrations.
- I am delighted that you, Margot, have volunteered to co-host the Conference with me. I hope that the seminar will serve as a platform for creating deeper and more nuanced debate on foreign policy issues and new potential for cooperation between our countries.
- Since we have also discussed joint travel arrangements, let's look into finding a suitable location and coordinate timing.
- It was a good piece of news we received today from Minister Wallström who informed us that a Swedish diplomat will be posted to the Finnish Foreign Ministry. This is very valuable form of cooperation for us.
- I am also glad that we are actively seeking new possibilities for bilateral cooperation in the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).
- Mediation, conflict prevention and peacebuilding are important to both Finland and Sweden.
- I would also like to congratulate you, Margot, and Sweden, for having held an excellent UN Security Council Presidency in January. We are impressed by the transparency, dialogue, efficiency and inclusiveness you were able to bring to the Council. We hope your lessons and example will be followed by the other Security Council members.

NOWs: 24h Dahlem by Clara Jo in collaboration with Robert Lippok
Clara Jo: 24 h Dahlem
presented at the Architecture Film Festival London at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) & Bargehouse OXO Tower Wharf
24h Dahlem, 2016 (17 min) examines the motivations behind, and consequences of, the planned relocation (2019) of the ethnographic collections from the Dahlem State Museums—the Ethnological Museum and Museum for Asian Art—on the periphery of Berlin to the future site of the Humboldt Forum in BerlinMitte. The film moves through the different layers of the museum, revealing that which is otherwise unseen. The soundtrack is created by Robert Lippok.
24 h Dahlem will be shown at the ICA during a Ticketed Screening and Shortlisted Films on June 11.
Additionally Clara Jo's experimental film Tilt will be presented at the Bargehouse for the Festival Selection on June 7 & 8.
Tilt, 2016 (13 min) creates a contemporary parallel of an Enlightenment World, employing current museological digital imaging technologies as devices to penetrate the surface of scientific and artistic objects. The film uncovers how new 3D imaging techniques utilized by museum conservation departments bypass the need to directly incise into material culture, instead providing a surrogate and abstracted experience of objects for public consumption. The film draws from the Royal Academy of Arts Collections and Archives, folding in material from other London institutions such as the Burlington Courtyard Learned Societies and the Imaging and Analysis Centre at the Natural History Museum.
