What do a robotic teddy bear and a wearable biosensor have in common?
Health Sciences professor Matthew Goodwin is on a roll. In the past month, he has published two papers, one on the use of wearable devices to predict aggressive outbursts among youth with autism, and another on the use of a robotic teddy bear to ease anxiety in hospitalized children.

Both harness the power of technology to improve health outcomes among vulnerable populations. This is right up Goodwin's alley as a founder of Northeastern's doctoral program in Personal Health Informatics—the only PhD program of its kind in the country. Because of the cross-disciplinary nature of his field, Goodwin has joint appointments in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
"Personal health informatics is all about empowerment," said Goodwin. "It's about helping patients take control of their own health and stay out of the hospital, which makes healthcare less expensive, more sustainable, and produces better outcomes."
Several years ago, Goodwin was on the team that developed the wearable sensor used in both studies. The sensor, which looks like an ordinary digital wristwatch, records peripheral physiological responses of study participants. In the past, that data would have to be collected via electrodes attached to the person's fingers and chest with wires connected to a computer. This made it impossible to study a patient's response while freely moving in their natural environment. Goodwin's biosensor, and devices like it, have made the field of personal health informatics possible.
"In the field of autism, we were working with participants who could not tolerate the lab, so we brought the lab to them," he said.
What if we could predict violent behavior before it happens?
In the case of autism, Goodwin has devised a way to use his biosensor to predict a violent outburst at least a minute before it occurs. This may not sound like much, but a 60-second warning is enough to allow caregivers to provide "just-in-time" interventions designed to prevent physiological distress from escalating into unpredictable aggression.
This could provide an enormous breakthrough in the field, since unpredictable aggression is the biggest single barrier to obtaining community, therapeutic, medical, and educational services for people with autism.
The study, which was published in June in Autism Research, involved 20 youth with autism, 85 percent of whom were only minimally verbal. Goodwin and his colleagues used the sensors to collect physiological and movement data during 69 observational sessions that totaled 87 hours.
His algorithm was able to predict aggressive outbursts with 85 percent accuracy.
"This could ultimately reduce the occurrence, duration, and impact of aggression in youth with ASD, enabling them to more fully participate in their homes, schools, and communities," he said.
Two Northeastern electrical engineering professors—Stratis Ioannidis and Deniz Erdogmus—contributed to the study, along with researchers from the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine and the Maine Medical Center Research Institute.
The Blue Bear
It's blue, it's fuzzy, and it talks to children when they are most frightened and alone.
Meet Huggable, a robotic teddy bear that talks and plays with hospitalized children who are either waiting for major surgery or battling a serious illness. The children bond so strongly with the bear that they ask it personal questions, tell it jokes, and invite it to come back to meet their families.

For now, the furry robot is controlled remotely by a human who determines its facial expressions, eye movements, and speech. But the authors estimate that they will be able to produce a completely autonomous Huggable in less than three years.
The study, published in the July 2019 issue of Pediatrics, involved 54 patients at Boston Children's Hospital. They were divided into three groups that interacted with either Huggable, the bear's computerized avatar on a tablet computer, or a traditional teddy bear.
The authors showed the ultra-cute robotic companion reduced anxiety among hospitalized children, while increasing their communication, joyfulness, and physiological activity. Children who played with Huggable scored better in all these categories compared to those who played with either its computerized avatar or a traditional teddy bear.
"A hospital is a scary place for children who are away from their families for anywhere from one to four weeks," said Goodwin. "Their anxiety can have a negative impact on their health outcomes."
In addition to Goodwin, the study was conducted by researchers from the MIT Media Lab and the Harvard faculty at Boston Children's Hospital. Goodwin and his postdoctoral research associate, James Heathers, oversaw the experimental design and physiological data analysis, while MIT developed the robot and Children's Hospital provided the clinical expertise and study participants.
While the pilot study was limited by the small sample size, the authors concluded that Huggable introduces "a new way to address the emotional needs of hospitalized children and is deserving of further study."

Highclere Castle, home of Downton Abbey, will be available to book on Airbnb for one night only
It's the ultimate Downton Abbey experience.
By Olivia Heath
Airbnb x Highclere Castle
Highclere Castle – the home of Downton Abbey – will open its doors to two guests for a once-in-a-lifetime overnight stay in November through Airbnb – and guests will be treated like royalty.
To celebrate the launch of the newly-released Downton Abbey film, The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon will be giving super fans an opportunity to immerse themselves in the iconic location of Downton Abbey and learn what life might have been like for the Crawleys.
Highclere Castle, near Newbury in Berkshire, is often described as 'the finest occupied Victorian mansion in England', and now you can get the chance to stay in one of the castle's grand rooms for one night only on Tuesday 26th November.
Two lucky guests will get exclusive access to the castle and its grounds, as well an evening of cocktails in the Saloon followed by a traditional three-course dinner in the iconic State Dining Room, all whilst being waited on by Highclere Castle's own butler.
And that's not all, after dinner, coffee will be served in the Library before the guests retire to one of the principal bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom and views of over 1,000 acres of stunning rolling parkland.
Before departing the next day, guests will enjoy a delicious breakfast prior to a private tour of Highclere Castle's extensive grounds – the castle covers 100,000 square feet and has a total of 300 rooms, all of which are opulently decorated and furnished, with each detail providing a unique insight into Highclere Castle's history.
There are, of course, some house rules you must follow:
No pets allowed, but 9 friendly dogs on site!
All newspapers must be ironed
Strictly one butler per person
Cocktail dress is de rigueur for dinner
Gossip restricted to downstairs quarters only
Listing is midweek because after all – 'What is a weekend?'
Sound good? The overnight stay will be taking place on 26th November, costing £150 inclusive. If you want a chance to stay, reservation opportunities will go live on 1st October 2019 at 12pm BST at airbnb.com/downtonabbey.
And to celebrate this special listing, Airbnb will be making a donation to The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
'It's an absolute privilege and pleasure to call Highclere Castle my home and I am delighted to be able to share it on Airbnb for a truly unique stay,' says host Lady Carnarvon, 'Highclere Castle has been in the Carnarvon family since 1679 and has an incredibly rich history. I am passionate about the stories and heritage of Highclere Castle, and I am looking forward to welcoming our future guests.'
Lady Carnarvon
Highclere Castle does indeed boast a fascinating history – built on an ancient site, the original house was recorded in the Domesday Book. The present day Castle was designed in 1842 by architect Sir Charles Barry, who also built the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London.
But in more recent history, Highclere Castle became the location of Downton Abbey – an ITV drama series with an all-star cast, set in the fictional Downton Abbey, a Yorkshire country house, and following the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family. The series drew in over 11 million viewers in the UK and was shown in over 100 countries around the world. It ended after six series in 2015 and a Christmas special in the same year, but fans were delighted when the feature-length film adaptation was announced. The film is out in cinemas now.

Thomas Neil Phillips (May 22, 1883 – November 30, 1923) was a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger. Like other players of his era, Phillips played for several different teams and leagues. Most notable for his time with the Kenora Thistles, Phillips also played with the Montreal Hockey Club, the Ottawa Hockey Club, the Toronto Marlboros and the Vancouver Millionaires. Over the course of his career Phillips participated in six challenges for the Stanley Cup, the championship trophy of hockey, winning twice: with the Montreal Hockey Club in 1903 and with the Kenora Thistles, which he captained, in January 1907. Following his playing career, Phillips worked in the lumber industry until his death in 1923.

One of the best defensive forwards of his era, Phillips was also known for his all-around skill, particularly his strong shot and endurance, and was considered, alongside Frank McGee, one of the two best players in all of hockey. His younger brother, Russell, also played for the Thistles and was a member of the team when they won the Stanley Cup. When the Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1945, Phillips was one of the original nine inductees.

Life and playing career

Early life
Phillips was born in Rat Portage, Ontario, on May 22, 1883, the youngest of three children, to James and Marcelline Phillips. James Phillips, who was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, on October 14, 1822, had trained as a stonemason and immigrated to Canada to help build railways. He had a son and two daughters from a previous marriage. On April 30, 1877 he married Marcelline (née Bourassa), a native of Buckingham, Quebec. Their first child, a son named Robert, was born in 1878, followed by a daughter, Margaret, in 1879; both were born in Ottawa. In 1882 James accepted a job in Western Ontario as superintendent of construction for the Canadian Pacific Railway transcontinental rail line, and the family moved to Rat Portage, near the Ontario border with Manitoba. Here a fourth child, Russell, was born in 1888. Russell would also play hockey, winning the Stanley Cup with Phillips in 1907.

As a young child Phillips learned to play hockey, and by 1895 he had joined the Rat Portage Thistles junior club, a team of players mostly aged 12 to 16. Phillips helped the team win the 1895–96 intermediate level championship of the Manitoba and Northwest Hockey Association. By 1899–1900 Phillips had joined the senior Thistles team, and would be named captain the following season, when they won the senior league championship. Phillips immediately earned praise for his endurance: in an era when players played the entire match and would often coast to conserve energy, Phillips could play at a fast pace the entire game, with a posthumous newspaper report stating that he "could play for an entire 60 [minutes] at full speed and be as fresh at the end as he was at the start." His skill was already evident at the time, with the Rat Portage Miner praising him as one "of the best cover-points in the west, being a swift shot, a high lifter and a heavy check." A forward when he joined the senior Thistles, Phillips played cover-point for the 1900–01 season, before moving to left wing in 1901–02; he largely remained in that position for the rest of his career.

Regarded as one of the best players in Northwestern Ontario, Phillips moved east to Montreal in September 1902 to study electrical engineering at McGill University. He joined the university's hockey team, which had just moved to a new Canadian university league, and was immediately named captain. Phillips only played one match for McGill, on January 23, 1903, against Queen's University; McGill lost 7–0. Days after the game the Montreal Hockey Club asked Phillips to join them for their Stanley Cup challenge series against the Winnipeg Victorias. This required the approval of the other university clubs, which agreed on the condition that Phillips end his McGill career, which he did. Montreal won the series; Phillips finished third on the team in scoring with six goals in four games. Phillips also earned praise for his defensive play, particularly his ability to stop Tony Gingras, one of the top players on the Victorias.

Later in 1902 Phillips moved to Toronto to attend the Central Business School. He joined the Toronto Marlboros and, after changing positions to rover, was regarded as the team's best player. The Marlboros won both the Toronto city and the Ontario Hockey Association senior championships, and felt confident enough with Phillips on the roster to challenge the Ottawa Hockey Club for the  Stanley Cup. The Marlboros lost the series; Phillips had the most assists, though also the most penalty minutes of any player in the series, with eight and fifteen, respectively. He was also regarded by Ottawa reporters to be by far the best player on the Marlboros, with one saying he was "much too fast a man for the company in which he is travelling."

Kenora and Ottawa

Phillips moved back to Rat Portage in 1904 when he learned his father was dying. Offered a job with a lumber company, and a C$1,000 bonus to play hockey for the Thistles, he stayed in the city, much to the disappointment of the Marlboros, who had wanted him to stay in Toronto. Rat Portage was amalgamated with neighbouring towns in 1905 and was renamed Kenora. Due to their proximity to Manitoba, the Thistles played in the Manitoba Hockey League. In the 1904–05 season Phillips had the second-most goals on the team and in the league, with twenty-six, two fewer than Billy McGimsie. The Thistles won the Manitoba league championship, allowing them to challenge for the Stanley, held at the time by the Ottawa Senators. By this time Phillips was regarded as one of the best players in Canada, equal to Frank McGee of the Senators. The Montreal Herald reported that "nine out of ten people will reply that either Frank McGee or Tom Phillips is" the best player in the country. In the first game of the challenge series against Ottawa, Phillips scored the first two goals, then added another three in the second half of the game as the Thistles won by a score of 9–3. Ottawa won the second game, 4–2, while Phillips was held pointless. In the third and deciding game of the series, Phillips scored a hat trick, including the first of the game, although Ottawa won the game 5–4 to retain the Cup.

The Thistles won the Stirling Cup as champions of western Canada in the 1905–06 season, which allowed them the right to challenge for the Cup again, since won by the Montreal Wanderers. There was an early spring that year, and with natural ice used at the time, the series had to wait until the following winter. In the 1906–07 season, Phillips led the league in goals, with eighteen. In the first game of the Thistles' successful two-game, total-goal Stanley Cup challenge against the Wanderers in January 1907, Phillips scored all four goals in the Thistles' 4–2 victory; he followed that up with three goals in the second game, an 8–6 victory, giving the Thistles a 12–6 win. A two-game rematch two months later saw the team lose; Phillips' nine goals, and sixteen penalty minutes led both categories.

Prior to the start of the 1907–08 season, he was offered between $1,500 and $1,800 to play for the Wanderers, but instead signed with the Ottawa Senators for a salary of $1,500. Phillips explained that he was ready to sign with the Wanderers, but the contract he received did not include everything promised. In signing with Ottawa, Philips rejoined Harry Westwick and Alf Smith, who had both joined the Thistles for their Stanley Cup defence in March 1907. It also likely made him the highest paid hockey player in Canada. He finished the season with twenty-six goals, two behind the scoring leaders, his teammate Marty Walsh and Russell Bowie of the Victorias.

Western Canada and later life

Though offered a high salary to stay in Ottawa, Phillips decided to leave the team, and prior to the 1909 hockey season joined the Edmonton Hockey Club of the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association (AAHA). The Edmonton team had signed several high-profile players from Eastern Canada to play for the team in the Cup challenge; only two players on the team were from Edmonton, with the rest coming from the east. Phillips and Lester Patrick, another player from the east, never even reached Edmonton; they met their team in Winnipeg on its way east for the Cup challenge. Phillips, who was paid $600 for the two-game series, played in the first game against the Montreal Wanderers, which Edmonton lost 7–3, but broke his ankle and was forced to miss the second game, a 7–6 Edmonton win.

Over the summer Phillips was invited by Patrick to move to Nelson, British Columbia, where the latter was putting together a club of star players to challenge for the Cup. He played in 1909–10 with the local team, retiring after the season and taking a position as a manager of a lumber company in Vancouver. When Patrick and his brother Frank formed the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) in 1911, Phillips was convinced to come out of retirement and join one of the teams in the new league, the Vancouver Millionaires. Phillips finished the 1912 season fourth on Vancouver in goals, and seventh overall in the league, with seventeen in fourteen games. Phillips, who realized that his skills had diminished, retired for a second time at the end of the season. A close friend of the Patricks, he remained close to the league, and occasionally officiated matches after his retirement.

After retiring from hockey Phillips ran his own lumber company Timms, Phillips and Company and later moved to Toronto in 1920. Phillips died of blood poisoning at the age of 40 in his residence at 19 Edgewood Crescent, five days after having an ulcerated tooth removed. He was survived by his widow Ella and three children: Margery, Mary and James. Phillips was a member of Rosedale Community Church and a Freemason.

When the Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1945, Phillips was inducted as one of the first nine inductees. He was also inducted into the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.

Online tutoring service uses hardware to emulate classroom
Sanhao's self-developed device Haoxuebao. Photo from Sanhao.com.
Sanhao.com, an online education platform, just secured RMB 75 million (USD 11.5 million) in Pre-A financing, pushing its valuation close to RMB one billion, according to the platform.
The company said on Friday that it will use this round of funding for technology development, which currently takes up 48.7% of the company's total spending.
Founded in June 2014, the company provides live-stream one-on-one lessons for kindergarten to grade 12 students. After administering an online test to students, it automatically uses big data to design lesson plans and recommends teachers based on the result.
The company differentiates itself from other e-learning providers by providing users and teachers with its own device, a writing tablet attached to a camera that is supposed to help emulate the conditions of a real classroom.
In six months after it officially went online in July 2015, there were 70,000 registered teachers and 30,000 students on the platform. The company received 30 million in revenue in 2015.
"Our targets in 2016 are to reach 25,000 users and RMB 250 million in revenue," said He Qiang, CEO and founder of the platform.
The platform faces a lot of competitors in the online education field. Many apps for online K12 tutoring have already emerged, including Baidu's Q&A app Zuoyebang, tutoring Q&A platform Afanti.com and the Little Ape app, which provides Khan Academy-like services for K12 students.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, there were 162 million Chinese K12 students at the end of 2013. According to a report from Chinese market research agency Analysys, only 8% of the total K12 population in China were using online education services in the first quarter of 2015, meaning the market has a lot of potential.

Das European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE) an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt ist eines von drei Kompetenzzentren für IT-Sicherheitsforschung, die das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) seit Oktober 2011 im Rahmen ihrer High-Tech-Strategie fördert. Das Zentrum baut auf der Infrastruktur des Darmstädter LOEWE-Zentrums CASED für IT-Sicherheitsforschung auf und arbeitet eng mit dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Sichere Informationstechnologie (SIT) zusammen.

Als weitere Zentren existieren das Kompetenzzentrum für Angewandte Sicherheits-Technologie (KASTEL) am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) und das Center for IT-Security, Privacy and Accountability (CISPA) an der Universität des Saarlandes.

Das BMBF verfolgt mit den Kompetenzzentren die Abwehr von Angriffen, die gezielte Entwicklung geeigneter Methoden und Werkzeuge in verschiedenen Projekten des IT-Sicherheitsschwerpunktes des BMBF sowie die vorausschauende Weiterentwicklung von Kenntnissen und Fähigkeiten.

Das European Center for Security and Privacy by Design ging mit dem Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) in das Center for Research in Security and Privacy auf.

Forschungsziel
Durch neue Standards, Verfahren und Werkzeuge will EC SPRIDE dazu beitragen, dass IT-Sicherheit bereits früh im Software-Entwicklungsprozess berücksichtigt wird.

IT-Sicherheit und Privatsphärenschutz werden derzeit vor allem nachträglich in die Software integriert, was zu hohem Aufwand und Kosten führt. Es existieren kaum standardisierte Vorgehensweisen oder unterstützende Werkzeuge für Programmierer.

Forschungsschwerpunkte
Die Forschung des Kompetenzzentrums lässt sich in drei Schwerpunkten zusammenfassen, deren Projekte ineinandergreifen werden:

 Im Hauptbereich "Engineering" entwickeln Wissenschaftler konkrete Lösungen und Werkzeuge für Programmierer.
 Der Bereich Blueprint wird technische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und daraus entstehende Anforderungen an die IT-Sicherheit analysieren. Die Ergebnisse fließen in die Arbeit der anderen Bereiche ein.
 Im Bereich Building Blocks werden kryptografische Modulbausteine entwickelt. Die Bausteine sollen über die gesamte Lebensdauer einer Software nahtlos ausgetauscht und erweitert werden können. Gleichzeitig soll die Vielfalt kryptografischer Protokolle erhöht und dadurch die Abhängigkeit von einigen wenigen Protokollen verringert werden.

Organisation
EC SPRIDE gliedert sich in Forschungsgruppen, die von Claude-Shannon Fellows geleitet werden. Das Claude-Shannon-Programm orientiert sich am Emmy-Noether-Förderprogramm der DFG und fördert die eigenständige Forschung junger Nachwuchswissenschaftler.

EC SPRIDE umfasst derzeit die Secure Software-Engineering Group und die Engineering Cryptographic Protocols Group.

Das Zentrum wird federführend von der TU Darmstadt geleitet und kooperiert mit dem Fraunhofer SIT.

One still missing in waters near Ocean Beach
Alex Yang, Staff Writer
The U.S. Coast Guard and San Francisco Fire Department are conducting a search for a 14-year-old boy who was reported missing Wednesday afternoon in the waters near Ocean Beach. Two others who were with the boy were rescued by 17-year-old surfer Tony Barbero.
A rescue call came in around 4 p.m. Wednesday from Lincoln Way and The Great Highway at San Francisco's Ocean Beach.
While the boys were playing, a rogue wave hit the boys and pulled them into the ocean. The father of one of the boys rushed into the water to try and save them, even though he did not know how to swim.
Barbero said, "I was in the water when I noticed some people needing help. I couldn't see what was happening at first but later I figured a boy was starting to drown; so I took him on my board and paddled him in. I looked back out and asked the kid if his dad could swim and he said no."
The boy Barbero helped pull out of the water was the man's nephew. Barbero said he didn't see the man's son.
The boy missing is a 14-year-old named Marco, and is still in the water, a fire official said.
The father was transported to the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) hospital after being resuscitated by first responders. His condition was not immediately known. His nephew is said to be in good condition.
A U.S. Coast Guard boat and helicopter responded to the scene to assist fire crews with the water rescue, the fire official said.
Sophomore Camron Dennler said, "I think that people need to more careful because anything can happen at any time. Hopefully the rescue team can get the missing boy quickly and save him, but good job on the surfer's part to react quickly and save the other boy and the father."
Ocean Beach is known for being one of the most dangerous shorelines in the country due to its strong rip currents.
Battalion Chief Marty Ross said, "This [drownings] happens too much. People, they come out here, they take this for granted. It is very dangerous out here. It's no joke."

Last year I was reflecting on how much I enjoy sharing the deeper teachings of yoga. I've had the opportunity to do this during our last 2 teaching training and many retreats. The Easter yoga retreat was again full in advance this year and the invitation to teach the weekend in Rocky was welcomed. There are just a few spots free for a retreat in India this Dec. So it seems the universe has responded to my appreciation by giving me more opportunities to share yoga in this way.
Having meditated for 20 years and participated for many years in organised and self retreats, I know the growth that comes from this time out – whether it be a short daily practice or a longer retreat. It's a time when deeper insights into life are revealed; the mind's perceived problems dissolve or seem more manageable and a connection with something that feels real and substantial becomes apparent....a rare experience in our society of virtual cyber bombardment.
While it is necessary for us to live in the western world, retreats give the opportunity to step outside the responsibilities of normal life, to take a look at ourselves and soak up glorious nature - India photo below. On recent retreats I've been sharing more the philosophical context that is the background to our meditation practice, which I feel is essential knowledge.
According to yoga philosophy our being is made up of 5 sheaths – our physical body (annamaya), energy body (pranamaya), cognitive mind – composed of what we've learned, our conditioning and some deeper emotional tendencies (manomaya), our awareness (vijnanamaya) and our oneness (ananadamaya). Most of the time we are identified heavily with our manomaya and not very aware of anything else – we ignore or are scared by our body, know nothing about energy, except that we often don't have a lot and do not access the wisdom of our vijnanamaya.
When we learn to meditate we are bringing more awareness to our breath and body. This grounding in the body helps us to lessen the identification we have with unhelpful and often incorrect thoughts and perceptions. We are able to see the truth of the moment more clearly and accurately. This becomes the pathway to live in a higher state of awareness. Our identification with vijnanamaya becomes more possible and through that the grace of realisation of oneness (anandamaya) is possible.
Although there are so many benefits of practicing yoga asana – the physical postures - besides the fitness, flexibility and strength, bringing awareness into the body is the most powerful. From here to take the next step of working more directly with breath (pranayama) and meditation techniques, offer even more powerful benefit. Those of you attending classes presently will be able to attest to this with the greater focus now on pranayama. All of these practices though develop in us the sensitivity to sense something that is beyond the mind and body – a place of peace and spaciousness – that can hold all the sensations in the body and all the chaos of the mind. This awareness is your vijananamayam.
So how can I not enjoy immensely being able to guide students into this realisation. On retreat there is a certain flow that we enter into. I'm there doing the same practice I'm teaching... to observe...breath, body sensations, the crazy flow of thoughts and emotion. My thoughts are no less crazy or persistent than yours and we're all in it together shifting the habit of being lost in the mind, to a habit of consciousness. That's why meditating together is so powerful.
The teachings that guide our practice help us to disentangle ourselves from our thoughts, firstly by detailing the composition of this manomayam.
Over the years we absorb so many mental impressions, from our society. We unconsciously take in – what we read (books – including spirititual books full of fascinating concepts, newspapers), television and advertising (soap operas, reality? TV, endless entertainment.. 'let's face it' mostly trash) – the traumas of living and relating in a challenging world... work conflicts, difficult relationships, abuse and hopefully some joyous experiences as well. I know most of it sounds negative, but as creatures with survival instincts we are wired to remember the bad, as this is most threatening to our survival.
So when we sit to meditate or take time out to be with ourselves this content of the mind pours out ...and well that's expected and OK and part of the practice. It's only by witnessing this 'unflowing' from the place of greater consciousness (vijnanamaya) that we can realise our freedom from it.
My current recommended reading to support meditation practice and your general wellbeing.

National: Senate report affirms intelligence community's conclusion that Russia favored Trump over Clinton | The Washington Post
NationalBy admin July 6, 2018
A Senate panel investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election released Tuesday a written summary of its determination that the U.S. intelligence community correctly concluded Moscow sought to help Donald Trump win. The Senate Intelligence Committee's report affirms conclusions that its members first announced in May. It stands in sharp contrast with a parallel investigation by the House Intelligence Committee, whose Republican members questioned the intelligence community's tradecraft in concluding the Kremlin aimed to help Trump. The Senate panel called the overall assessment a "sound intelligence product," saying evidence presented by the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency supported their collective conclusion that the Russian government had "developed a clear preference for Trump" over his opponent in the race, Hillary Clinton. Where the agencies disagreed, the Senate panel found those differences were "reasonable."
National: White House uses Twitter account to push back at Democrats | Associated Press
The White House is using its official Twitter handle to target Democratic lawmakers who have criticized President Donald Trump's immigration policies, drawing complaints that government resources are being used to undercut potential 2020 presidential rivals. The White House Twitter handle, which has more than 17.3 million followers, falsely accused California Sen. Kamala Harris on Monday of "supporting the animals of MS-13," a violent gang that the president has sought to eradicate. In a separate tweet, the White House account erroneously asserted Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren was "supporting criminals moving weapons, drugs, and victims" across the border.
Arizona: Challenge filed to law barring collecting of mail-in ballots | Associated Press
ArizonaBy admin July 6, 2018
Another legal challenge has been filed to a 2016 law that bars groups in Arizona from collecting early mail-in ballots from voters and delivering them as part of get-out-the-vote efforts. The lawsuit filed Tuesday seeks to bar officials from enforcing the law and alleges the statute is unconstitutional because it's trumped by federal law. It argues the state is trying to regulate the delivery of mail-in ballots, even though federal law lets private citizens mail items that belong to others if they do so without getting paid. Nearly two months ago, a federal judge rejected another attempt to overturn the Arizona law, ruling that the people who challenged the law didn't prove that the election practices unjustifiably burden voting or were enacted to suppress minority turnout.
Florida: Challenge to early voting ban on campuses heading to court | Florida Politics
FloridaBy admin July 6, 2018
A federal judge has set a hearing for this month in a case by university students seeking to overturn the state's ban on early voting at public college campuses. Mark Walker, now chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, will consider their motion for a "preliminary injunction to prevent Secretary of State Ken Detzner from enforcing" the ban. That's at 9 a.m. July 16, dockets accessed Thursday show. The hearing will be held in the U.S. Courthouse in downtown Tallahassee. A reply to a motion to dismiss also is due this Friday, dockets show.
Kansas: Attorney General takes over appeal of Kobach's voting rights case | Lawrence Journal-World
KansasBy admin July 6, 2018
Gov. Jeff Colyer said Thursday that he thinks the state has a good chance of winning an appeal of a federal court ruling striking down a state law requiring people to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, especially now that Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt's office has taken over the case. "I think the attorney general will do a fine job, and I intend to win this. I think it's an opportunity for us to win this thing," Colyer told reporters Thursday.
Maryland: Maryland's Big Primary Election Snafu | The American Prospect
MarylandBy admin July 6, 2018
On June 26, Maryland officials counted votes and released results on primary election winners, but the election is far from over: just over 1 percent of all votes cast have yet to be counted. Due to a glitch in the state's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) online and kiosk systems, more than 80,000 Marylanders had to cast provisional ballots because the system didn't update their voter information changes in time for the primary on June 26. One of those voters was Erin Bowman. A Baltimore resident, Erin went to the First English Lutheran Church in Guilford, Maryland, (which was in her congressional district) to vote in the primary. Since first registering to vote over a decade ago, Erin has never missed an election, and has always done her research on ballot questions and candidates, so she went to her polling station well-prepared. Upon arriving, Erin was told by a polling staffer that because of her recent move to the area, she had to vote on a provisional ballot.
Michigan: Legislation to decrease voting age introduced | Huron Daily Tribune
MichiganBy admin July 6, 2018
The teenage voice in the state of Michigan could become more powerful if legislation recently introduced passes. The legislation, introduced by Sen. David Knezek (D–Dearborn Heights) and Rep. Yousef Rabhi (D–Ann Arbor) aims to lower the voting age to 16, which, if passed, would make Michigan the first state to expand voting rights to any state-elected office for this age demographic. Senate Bill 1064, Senate Joint Resolution T, House Bill 6183 and House Joint Resolution KK were introduced to provide a larger civic engagement platform for the increasing number of young people who are actively and aggressively participating in the political process.
Texas: Texas elections to move forward without changes to state House district map despite racial gerrymander finding | The Texas Tribune
TexasBy admin July 6, 2018
The 2018 elections will move forward without any tweaks to Texas' political maps. Following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to uphold all but one of the state's political districts, a three-judge federal panel in San Antonio on Tuesday ordered that the state's maps should stay in place for this year's elections despite outstanding issues with House District 90. The Tarrant County-based district was the sole exception the Supreme Court made in OK'ing the state's maps last week. That district, which is held by Democratic state Rep. Ramon Romero, was deemed an impermissible racial gerrymander because lawmakers illegally used race as the predominant factor in deciding its boundaries.
Utah: Lt. Governor asks Utah Supreme Court to keep Count My Vote off the November ballot | KSTU
UtahBy admin July 6, 2018
Utah's Lt. Governor is defending the law that allows voters to remove signatures from a citizen referendum petition. In a new court filing before the Utah Supreme Court, Lt. Governor Spencer Cox pushed back on Count My Vote's request to strike down a portion of election law dealing with signature removal. Count My Vote, which would allow political candidates to gather signatures and skip the caucus-convention system that political parties prefer, failed to qualify for the November ballot after enough voters removed their signatures following an opposition campaign by a rival group called Keep My Voice.
Europe: Parliament backs a modernized EU Electoral Law | EU Reporter
EuropeBy admin July 6, 2018
The purpose of the updated electoral law is to boost EU citizens' participation in the European elections and enhance the European character of the procedure. The new measures were endorsed by 397 votes to 207 against, with 62 abstentions. Among the new provisions, Parliament approved a proposal to introduce a mandatory threshold for constituencies with more than 35 seats. This threshold must not go below 2% and not exceed 5% of the votes cast. The new rule will also apply to single-constituency member states with more than 35 seats. Of the EU countries with more than 35 seats, all except Spain and Germany have a statutory electoral threshold for the EU elections. These two countries will now have to comply with the new obligation and introduce a threshold in time for the European elections in 2024, at the latest.
Cambodia: Elections headed for a rigged one-horse race | Asia Times
CambodiaBy admin July 6, 2018
While 20 different political parties will vie for votes at Cambodia's national elections on July 29, the contest will be by any honest measure a one-horse race. Prime Minister Hun Sen and his ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP), now in power for more than 33 consecutive years, eliminated the only serious competition ahead of the polls but will be hard-pressed to portray the elections as a legitimate expression of the popular will. The 19 other parties contesting the elections are seen by many as either proxies set up by the ruling party in an attempt to give the election a veneer of legitimacy, or too small and with too few followers to carry any seats.
India: Are Electronic Voting Machines democratic? | The Statesman
IndiaBy admin July 6, 2018
Those infatuated with the technology-driven Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) fail to realise that elections are synonymous with democracy and are meant to translate the consent of the citizens into governmental authority. To achieve this, elections should be held in strict conformity with democracy principles. … EVMs that are being presently used to conduct elections may be devices of technology excellence. But the moot question is ~ do they comply with the principles of democracy? The answer is: No. The Federal Constitutional Court of Germany in a landmark judgment in March 2009 held the use of EVMs unconstitutional if they do not comply with the 'Democracy Principles'. The Court did not strike down the EVM ,but left it to the government/election authority to determine whether or not the machines comply with the principles of democracy. These authorities determined that EVMs do not and went back to the ballot paper. Many other countries followed.
Libya: Party chief warns of 'fake voters' due to ID card scam | Reuters
LibyaBy admin July 6, 2018
The head of one of Libya's main political movements has alleged widespread fraud involving national identity cards, saying this could jeopardize elections that may be held late this year. Mahmoud Jibril, a former interim leader of the country, called for a thorough investigation into the abuses which could also have led to hundreds of thousands of fraudulent claims for welfare payments. The United Nations and rival Libyan factions say they hope presidential and parliamentary elections can be held on Dec. 10 in a step toward reunifying and stabilizing Libya, which has been in turmoil since a NATO-backed revolt toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Mexico: Authorities mulling $10 million fine for election victors | Reuters
MexicoBy admin July 6, 2018
Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's party could face a $10 million fine for violations of campaign finance rules, the national electoral institute said on Wednesday following the group's wide-reaching election victory. Lopez Obrador, a former Mexico City mayor who has vowed to root out corruption and make government contracts transparent, on Sunday won by a landslide while his leftist National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) took an outright majority in Congress. The possible fine of more than 197 million pesos, slated to be put to a vote by the National Electoral Institute (INE) on July 18, would be the largest related to campaign financing for the recently concluded election season.
Editorials: The Vote Leave revelations expose the vulnerability of UK democracy | Caroline Lucas/The Guardian
EditorialsBy admin July 6, 2018
On Tuesday evening, the nation held its collective breath as the English football team beat Colombia on penalties to make it to the quarter-final of the world cup. Meanwhile, Vote Leave leaked news that the Electoral Commission is set to find it breached electoral law during the Brexit referendum. This is not the most obvious example of news being buried in Westminster. But it could be one of the most significant. With Britain just months from falling off a Brexit cliff edge, and with no guarantee yet in place for a people's poll on the final deal, the disastrous consequences of failing to meet fundamental standards of democracy will be felt for generations to come.
Zimbabwe: After Mugabe, How Free and Fair Will Zimbabwe's Vote Be? | VoA News
ZimbabweBy admin July 6, 2018
It will be a first for Zimbabwe's voters: The name of Robert Mugabe won't be on the ballot when elections are held on July 30. But the military-backed system that kept the former leader in power for decades, and then pushed him out, is still in control. That is the conundrum facing a southern African country anxious to shed its image as an international pariah, and to draw the foreign aid and investment needed for an economic revival. The government promises a free and fair vote and the military, whose 2017 takeover led to Mugabe's resignation, says it won't stray from the barracks. Some Zimbabweans, though, wonder how much things have really changed.

The most revered and favourite Christmas tradition of Catholic Filipinos is alive and well here in Calgary as proven by the enormous turnout at several of the special mass celebrations held across the city.
Family, friends and members of the community are rallying around a 17-yearold Filipina who was the victim of a brutal sexual assault last month.
It has been over eight months since Maria Fe Labial underwent her surgery for a spinal implant to help treat her scoliosis.
Filipino-Calgarian youths were amongst a large crowd who were inspired to think about others before themselves as part of a North American-wide movement.


I suggest that leadership needs to come from the grassroots and will require discerning wisdom, integrity, courage, sustained energy and collaboration.
Spiritual practice in this context is whole of life practice – not just the occasional meditation session but a whole life geared towards sustainable activism supported by community and contemplative prayer.
Perhaps its time we took up the mantle of such leadership and together with others apply ourselves to a unifying principle to give strong voice to policy makers and for the common good?
Question for discussion: What is the 'well understood principle' of non-violent resistance?
How to collaborate – conversation.
Spiritual practice – silence Meditate for 10-15 mins with the below as opening. And poem at end of silence.
One of the fruits of meditation is the gift of discernment. Discernment about what the media is doing and saying to us, about when to switch off the screen. By creating the space of solitude through daily practice, meditation protects the dignity of individual privacy. As a result, it also develops the social values of personal liberty and responsible participation in society's decision making. The passivity and fatalism that media-saturation can create is challenged by meditation, if only because people of wisdom are less easily misled. We meditate in this world. Our decision to meditate represents a commitment to participate responsibly even in a world going mad. It trains discernment and limits intolerance. It teaches faithfulness to the community of the true Self thus protecting human dignity. Each time we sit down to meditate we carry our own and the world's baggage into the work of attention. It is a way of loving the world we are part of and contributing to its well-being. Precisely because it is a way of letting go of ourselves, meditation helps us recognize and share the burden of humanity.
After meditation: "True North" by Annie Lightfoot in IRON STRING TRUE NORTH You are the first compass, you the needle and stone, water, and pail. You are the tug of the miles, the force that turns, and you at last the surety that follows your own silver point. You are the sail above the small craft, its angle and drift, the night and the blackness of winds. You are the bent head, the giving and ceasing, you the bright weaving and the kindness of hands. You are every city and every street, you the nightwatchman and the young shepherd as well, you the sharp fear, you the heart, arriving unharmed. Many things are true, and this is one: You were there in the great tree at morning. You were who watched the green time unfolding. You were and are there the whole length of the song.

Q: How Do I Manage VOlume with iOS SoundEffect? I'm playing a prerecorded sound using a technique from an apple sample:
    // Set up the pieces needed to play a sound.
    if (clickSound == NULL) {
        NSBundle *mainBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
        clickSound = [[SoundEffect alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[mainBundle pathForResource:@"clickdown" ofType:@"wav"]];
    }

    // Play the sound.
    [clickSound play];

This works, but the resulting sound is far louder than intended. This is not a problem with the sound volume for the device; the sound itself seems to have been amplified, and changing the amplitude of the original sound using a sound editor does not change the playback volume on the iPhone. I believe the original sound is being amplified by SoundEffect so the peak volume meets some system standard, but that's exactly what I don't want: I'm after a softer, gentler sound, to paraphrase an aging politician.
How do I set the volume of the sound for a prerecorded sound sample?

A: Use the volume property of AVAudioPlayer. Like this:
  clickSound.volume = 0.5;

This recipe was simplicity itself. So long as you do get the butter really really soft (bung it in the microwave, if you have one, on defrost or warm until it's just on the point of melting) the first step will take you not more than 5 minutes. Then you go to bed. Easy! The dough itself is ridiculously sticky. I think mine was more sticky because I have very large eggs from a friend's hens rather than homogenous supermarket ones and there was no way it was going to make balls. However, I surrendered to the goop and just washed my hands, it washes off very easily actually. Children would love this bit, grownups may not!
I made mine in a silicone mini brioche mould I picked up for a bargain price ages ago. I'm forever seeing wonderful things like this and grabbing them so it's nice to actually use one for once! However, a muffin tin would be perfect for the job too. I made a mixture of plain and chocolate, you will note that the Chocolate Brioche have flat tops, this is because I was being cheeky and cooking something else at 200C and thought I could cheat and do them together. I figured 190C was quite low for a bread but I was wrong, 190C is perfect for this recipe.
– In a large mixing bowl beat together the butter, sugar and eggs. This will get rather lumpy and gross.
– Add the flour, yeast and salt and give it a little mix together, just a tad.
– Pour in the milk and mix it all up until it forms a soft, sticky goop. There will be chunks of butter, this is fine.
– The next day heat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190C.
– Take your muffin tin and grease the holes with a little sunflower or other tasteless oil.
– Rub your hands all over with oil too.
– Grab small handfulls of the dough and drop it into the holes. It will be very, very ,very sticky. Go with it. Shape it a little but don't worry about it too much.
– If making chocolate filled ones put a square or two of chocolate in the middle of the dough and pinch/twist/smooth the dough over the top.
– Brush the tops with beaten egg and pop the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until just browned on top.
– Turn out onto a wire rack for a few minutes then serve warm with jam/nutella/whatever your poison is! Fruits of the Forest Jam is my personal fave but go nuts!
Sorry for the long break guys, I've been reverting to the old favourite recipes recently so haven't had anything new for you! However, I was feeling adventurous tonight!
I've been trying to think up an English name for these delicious deep fried morsels. The Japanese name, Imodango, means sweet potato dumpling/ball, but this isn't really a true dango and I think something a bit more poetic is called for so, if you want an English name, then Deep Fried Sweet Potato Pillows it shall be!
These come from one particular restaurant in Japan that I ate at at least once, if not three times, a week when I was on my gap year, Tokai Sendan. The owner took it upon himself to educate us in Japanese food in exchange for practicing his English on us. I still think we won rather, we got some astounding meals from him but the absolute stand out dish we ordered every time without fail was Imodango. I wanted to visit again when I went back to Tokyo for University but the restaurant had closed. Therefore it was about 7 or 8 years ago that I last tasted these, which made it rather difficult to recreate them, let me tell you!
They might be a bit of an aquired taste for some. Like much Japanese food they rely on the mixture of sweet and salty that some people just don't like. The texture is also out of the Western way as they use glutinous rice flour, which gives a sort of fluffy/chewy sort of texture inside, all wrapped up in a cripsy outside. Now, all warnings aside, I do hope you try these, they're unusual, yes but delicious! Serve these with any kind of stir fry (yakisoba for preference), may be some gyoza, and a nice bowl of steamed edamame.
– Chop the sweet potato into chunks and boil for 20 minutes in very lightly salted water.
– Mix together the flour, sugar and baking soda in a small bowl.
– Drain the potato and leave to dry a little, then mash in a large mixing bowl.
– Gradually stir in the flour and most of the water, then the rest if it looks ok. It will come together, never fear! Leave it to sit for a minute or two.
– Dust your hands and a board in cornflour or rice flour and pinch off golf ball sized bits of dough and shape them into pillows. You don't need to be too precious about it, the mixture should make about 12 pillows.
– Heat the deep fat frier to 180C. May sure it's good and hot, don't jump in too early.
– Place a few of the pillows in at once and fry for about 2 minutes then turn over and fry for another 2 minutes. They should be puffy and golden, not too dark.
– Take out and place on kitchen paper in a warm oven while you do the others in batches.
– Serve with soy sauce to dip them in as a side with Japanese food.
– In a medium sized mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar.
– Add the eggs, keeping back about 2 tbsp for brushing, and the vanilla. Beat until smooth.
– Add the ground almonds and flour, mix until smooth.
– Roll out half of the puff pastry until it is the size of a dinner plate.
– Cut round a plate as a template to make a circle of pastry.
– Place this pastry on a lined baking tray.
– Roll out the second half of the pastry to the same size.
– Score this half of the pastry with whatever pattern you desire.
– Spoon the raspberry jam into the centre of the pastry ont he tray and spread out leaving a gap of about 4cm round the edge.
– Spoon the frangipane on top and nestle the whole almond in somewhere.
– Brush egg around the border you have left.
– Carefully place the second sheet of pastry on top.
– Brush the top with egg, avoid brushing the sides as this will interupt the rise of the pastry.
– Place in the centre of the hot oven and bake for 30 minutes.
– Take out and either serve warm or cool. Don't forget to have a crown ready for your "King".
* No, really. I didn't take the proper care to seal about 2″ of my Galette, as a result frangipane escaped everywhere! Although, I have to say it made a lovely dinner as I just ate that with an extra spoon of jam! It does mean that one side of my Galette isn't too pretty and may even be hollow in places so take care.
I love to make this salad in the summer when it's baking hot but lately I've been craving it in what is pretty much the depths of winter. May be I'm craving the warmth of summer or may be I'm after something lighter than all the "hearty" food that is prevalent at this time of year. Either way it seemed like the perfect time to whip up a quick Couscous Salad, especially with so many New Year's Resolutioners out there. For my part I won't be dieting but I have decided that I'm going to try harder with my appearance this year. No more boring trousers and a top for work, trousers are banned! It's all about skirts and dresses now.
If you are looking to cut back a bit in the food department this is a light, healthy salad that fills you up and hits all number of spots! Even better, if you have cooked chicken to hand it's super fast too, ready in 5 minutes!
– Put the couscous and stock cube in a meduim sized bowl.
– Add 1 espresso cup of boiling water and the lemon juice. Stir and leave to sit while you chop everything else.
– Add the remaining ingredients and give it a good stir to mix.
– May be give another sprinkle of lemon juice and then serve with a dollop of creme fraiche.


The genes that help determine when we go to sleep and when we wake up also help regulate the development of our brains, opening and closing critical developmental windows throughout childhood.
Takao Hensch has discovered how genes that regulate circadian rhythms also play a role in opening critical learning windows in the brain.
So-called "clock" genes manufacture molecules that are vital to setting circadian rhythms, including our sleep cycles. But the genes are also active in other cells in the brain and body. Now Takao K. Hensch (Harvard University), a senior fellow in CIFAR's program in Child & Brain Development, working with post-doctoral fellow Yohei Kobayashi and colleagues, has shown that the genes are important in the function of parvalbumin cells, which help regulate brain plasticity.
"This cell is the trigger cell for critical periods. It's like throwing a switch," Hensch says.
When mice lacked these clock genes, the researchers were able to show that their visual development was delayed. This suggested that intrinsic factors affected brain plasticity along with external factors, such as lack of exposure to light at an early age. Hensch says that the pace of development is determined by an interaction between the internal clock and external environmental influences.
These findings, along with ongoing but as yet unpublished research, suggest that circadian clock genes affect a broader range of developmental and sensory changes, including hearing, smell, and touch, and the brain's ability to process multiple sensory inputs simultaneously. Brain development may be guided by a series of internal genetic clocks, operating at different speeds and cycles throughout life, Hensch says.
The discovery has significant implications for understanding the processes that lead to developmental disorders or certain mental illnesses, including autism and schizophrenia.
Previous research had found that patients with these problems often suffered from sleep disorders, reflecting some kind of malfunctioning in the circadian system. The latest findings offer a new perspective on this finding, suggesting mistimed development as a consequence of clock gene impairment.

Several Sufi remnants such as tombs and shrines dating from the 13th century can be found in the city today, among them being the tomb of Sheikh Sala -ud-din of Bhalkh (1246 CE). Under the Mughal rule the town thrived as an agricultural centre.
Kaithal has a lesser known history as well. The Razia Sultan, who was the first woman ruler of India, died here and her 'mazaar' (tomb)is still there in the city. In 1767, the city came under rule of the Sikh chieftain, Bhai Desu Singh after which it came under British Influence.

I have read in so many forum posts and articles about green apples and the fact that they are so "beneficial" to treating candida, however, what about red apples? What about yellow apples? And what about other fruits and vegetables?
The truth is that all vegetables and fruits are fantastic for treating candida, no matter how much sugar they contain!
I know that I'm going to be labeled as the devil for saying this, but this is the absolute truth, I have been consuming lots of vegetables, lots of fruits, and most importantly, lots of sweet and very delicious fruits for the last three years, and I have experienced not one single candida symptom!
In fact, I have been candida free for three years now, no symptoms, no issues, no loss of energy, and most importantly, no smell!
The amazing thing about eating vegetables and fruits is that they are filled with fiber, protected phytonutrients, and most importantly, lots of antioxidants.
They are going to increase your immune response, increase your bowel movements, and most importantly, they are going to provide your good gut flora and bacteria with the essential nutrients they need to thrive and push candida colonies into extinction.
The most important thing to always have in mind is that you need to eat lots of foods which contain huge amounts of fiber, if you are relying on processed foods and you still hope to get rid of candida, then, you are simply wrong and this will never work for you!
I'm just trying to tell you the truth here, I'm not trying to sell you supplements or "vitamins" for getting rid of candida, I'm just telling you about the things that will work for you, and if you keep on indulging yourself and eating junk food all the time, then, you are going to have candida for the rest of your life!
This was my situation three years ago, I was consuming huge amounts of junk food on a daily basis, lots of processed carbohydrates, lots of fatty foods, lots of fried foods, and I felt horrible all the time, in fact, I was depressed and feeling ill all the time, I had very low energy and I felt like dying every single morning!
All this changed when I started taking good care of my diet and when I focused on quality instead of quantity when it comes to my caloric intake, and that's what I want you to do.
