Send file to trash natively under Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Send2Trash is a small package that sends files to the Trash (or Recycle Bin) natively and on all platforms. On OS X, it uses native FSMoveObjectToTrashSync Cocoa calls, on Windows, it uses native (and ugly) SHFileOperation win32 calls. On other platforms, if PyGObject and GIO are available, it will use this. Otherwise, it will fallback to its own implementation of the trash specifications from freedesktop.org.
ctypes is used to access native libraries, so no compilation is necessary.
Send2Trash supports Python 2.7 and up (Python 3 is supported).
On Freedesktop platforms (Linux, BSD, etc.), you may not be able to efficiently trash some files. In these cases, an exception send2trash.TrashPermissionError is raised, so that the application can handle this case. This inherits from PermissionError (OSError on Python 2). Specifically, this affects files on a different device to the user's home directory, where the root of the device does not have a .Trash directory, and we don't have permission to create a .Trash-$UID directory.
For any other problem, OSError is raised.
Added support for Gnome's GIO.
Merged Python 3 and Python 2 versions in a single codebase.
Improved plat_other to follow freedesktop.org trash specification.
Converted compiled modules to ctypes so that cross-platform compilation isn't necessary anymore.
Fixed bugs with external volumes in plat_other.
Fixed memory leak in OS X module.

Daniel Libeskind, one of the most celebrated architects working today, will discuss "The Future of Cities" as part of the Assembly Series at Washington University in St. Louis. His presentation, sponsored by the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and the Architecture Student Council, will begin at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, in Graham Chapel.
Daniel Libeskind, one of the most celebrated architects working today, will discuss "The Future of Cities" as part of the Assembly Series at Washington University in St. Louis.
His presentation, sponsored by the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and the Architecture Student Council, will begin at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, in Graham Chapel. The event is free and open to the public, though seating for the public may be limited. A Q&A will immediately follow.
Born to Holocaust survivors in Łódź, Poland, in 1946, Libeskind was a virtuoso musician at a young age, but gave up music to focus on architecture. He became an American citizen in 1965, earning his undergraduate degree in architecture from Cooper Union in 1970 and a postgraduate degree in the history and theory of architecture from the School of Comparative Studies at Essex University in 1972.
Libeskind established his architectural studio in Berlin in 1989, after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum. Even before its opening, in 2001, the museum's radical, strikingly asymmetrical design — filled with disorienting angles, underground passages and slit windows — became an icon for the City of Berlin and Germany. (Some commentators went so far as to suggest that the museum remain empty, a monument to the void left by the Holocaust. However, Libeskind and museum director Michael Blumenthal noted such proposals defeat the project's purpose, which is to pay homage to the rich cultural contributions of Germany's Jewish community.)
Studio Daniel Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City in February 2003, when Libeskind was selected to lead the Ground Zero Master Plan.
Serving as both the conceptual basis and the technical foundation for the entire redeveloped complex, the plan encompasses four new towers, a transportation hub, a visitors pavilion, a memorial and a memorial museum.The plan dictates the location and massing of each program element, including building height and relative size as well as proximity and the relationships between them. As Libeskind has noted, the project represents both a "healing of New York" and "a space to witness the resilience of America."
Proposed design for the residential tower One Madison Avenue in New York.
Today, in addition to the New York headquarters, Studio Libeskind has European partner offices based in Zürich and Milan. Its practice spans museums and concert halls as well as convention centers, university buildings, hotels, shopping centers and residential towers. Projects range from the Military History Museum in Dresden and the Creative Media Center in Hong Kong to major extensions of the Denver Art Museum and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
In addition to his design work, Libeskind is regarded as one of architecture's preeminent theorists. His books include Breaking Ground: Adventures in Life and Architecture (2004); Daniel Libeskind: The Space of Encounter (2001); Libeskind Speaks: Writings of Construction (1999); and Radix-Matix: Architecture and Writings (1997).
Libeskind has taught and lectured at many universities worldwide. He has held such positions as the Frank O. Gehry Chair at the University of Toronto; Professor at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Karlsruhe, Germany; the Cret Chair at the University of Pennsylvania; and the Louis Kahn Chair at Yale University.
He has received numerous awards including the 2001 Hiroshima Art Prize — an award given to an artist whose work promotes international understanding and peace, never before given to an architect.

Strike Back "Shadow Warfare, Episode 6" Review (3×06/4×06)
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MY SEASON FINALE (EPISODE 10) REVIEW, HERE IT IS: https://polarbearstv.com/2013/10/19/strike-back-shadow-warfare-episode-10-review-3x104x10/
Just a couple quick bullet points coming up…
-There seems to be a sense of finality with Scott and Stonebridge, and although I'm sure they won't exit the show, they're contemplating a life outside of Section 20. Their conversation in the car, Stonebridge's injury, Scott's seeking out of an ex…all are telling signs of fatigue. The diamonds represent their way out.
-Of course, Stonebridge seems to be fine at episode's end. I feel like they hit the thematic elements a bit too on the nose in this episode, as he's the one to take out the bad guy in a scene reminiscent of last week's cliffhanger. His affliction was probably a mental problem, but I wish the storyline gained some more traction.
-Locke's character seems to be getting explored more, as this episode reveals a deeper connection between him and McKenna's brother. The episode does a nice job of reflecting Locke's dangerous position, and we always have that feeling that the show might just kill him off. That won't happen, at least for a couple of episodes.
-The conversation at the end between Stonebridge and Locke continues the season's theme of past tragedy, as Locke asks whether killing Hanson satisfied Stonebridge in any way.
-McKenna dies, leaving the show without a formidable Big Bad. Al-Zuhari is waiting in the wings, but it seems like the show is reverting back to its pre-Conrad Knox times by waiting until the end to reveal him.
-The mortar attack on the embassy is really creative, and one of the better action sequences they've done.
-I'm extremely intrigued by Kamali's character, and he's inherently interesting no matter what side he's on. However, I love the fact that the show is playing with standard conventions and having him work with Section 20. It's obvious he has something hidden, and it's always possible he's playing the long con. His short-lived dynamic with Dalton was well done, though, and his interactions with the team right now are great.
-Stonebridge turns down Martinez!
-I apologize for the delay in posting.

It was a pretty good. You are right. The mortar attack scenes were very impressive. Leo Kamali is really interesting. I was waiting for McKenna to say Leo Kamali killed your son. She never got the chance but Kamali basically announced it himself when he shot McKenna.

Ah, yes, thanks for reminding me about Kamali. I knew I was forgetting something. Yeah, he's extremely interesting; the fact that he's working with Section 20, but obviously has something hidden, is intriguing.

Two Words That Could Hurt Your Kids: Nice Job
By Chris Weller On 1/4/14 at 11:49 AM EST
Overpraising children can kill their self-esteem, and their ambition. Matt McClain/For The Washington Post via Getty Images
Culture Parenting Health
The most controversial topics in professional sports may be doping and concussions, but in youth sports, no two words are more inflammatory than "participation trophy," those "awards" given to kids just for showing up, regardless of how well they played.
Parents who believe "it's the thought that counts" are often the ones who tell their kids "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." Winning isn't everything. At least you tried your best. You're always a winner in my book.
Then there are the other parents – the ones screaming at the coach to "just put the best five kids on the court, damn it!" For them, "it's only a game" is for losers.
At the heart of this controversy is a simple choice: Many parents want their children to grow up blind to failure, hearing only positive reinforcement, even for misshapen art projects. They fear that acknowledging any mediocrity could emotionally scar a child for life.
But a new trio of studies from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Ohio State University suggest that this strategy can backfire. They also suggest that parents often dole out inflated praise to the children most likely to be hurt by it. "If you tell a child with low self-esteem that they did incredibly well, they may think they always need to do incredibly well," Eddie Brummelman, lead author of the studies and a doctoral candidate at Utrecht University's department of psychology, said in a statement. "They may worry about meeting those high standards and decide not to take on any new challenges."
Brummelman and his fellow researchers devised three experiments. The first found that children with low self-esteem typically receive twice as much inflated praise as children with high self-esteem. Inflated praise is the difference between "Job well done!" and "You did an incredibly good job!" That adverb, that small boost, can turn a minor success into an expectation that ends up crushing a kid who doesn't believe in himself.
The second study enlisted the help of parents. The children completed 12 timed math exercises, which their parents then scored. Brummelman and his colleagues watched for any instance in which the parents administered inflated praise – a "You're so incredible!" or a "Fantastic!" – or opted for a simple, "Good job" or "Nice work." Correlating the kids' scores with earlier assessments of self-esteem, the team found that children with lower self-esteem received more inflated praise.
Don't start slagging supportive parents, though. Co-researcher Brad Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State, says their logic is impeccable: Kids who feel bad about their abilities tend to have very negative responses to poor performance, so the observant parent intervenes with a few supportive words. Problem solved, right?
"Parents seemed to think that the children with low self-esteem needed to get extra praise to make them feel better," said Bushman. "It's understandable why adults would do that, but we found in another experiment that this inflated praise can backfire in these children." Okay, problem not solved.
The team's third study took the praise administered in the second study and extended it to future performance. Children were asked to recreate van Gogh's Wild Roses (to the best of their ability) and were told the final drawing would be critiqued by a professional painter. The critic either gave the children inflated praise, noninflated praise, or no praise at all. Then they did a second drawing. This time they had a choice: Would they rather copy an easy drawing or take on a more difficult piece?
To the chagrin of participation-trophy-pushing parents in the group, the children with lower self-esteems chose the undemanding piece. They took the safe route. The high self-esteem kids were actually more likely to seek out the challenge after receiving inflated praise.
This makes for a difficult call as a parent. "Inflated praise causes children with low self-esteem to avoid challenges but causes children with high self-esteem to seek out challenges," Bushman explained, adding that parents whose kids have low self-esteem may do well to consider a less billowy approach when evaluating a child's performance. Protecting feelings in the short-term may only makes a kid better at coping with failure, not overcoming it, in the long-term.
"It goes against what many people may believe would be most helpful," Bushman said. "But it really isn't helpful to give inflated praise to children who already feel bad about themselves."
Two Words That Could Hurt Your Kids: Nice Job | Culture


Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of humanoid locomotion guided from information of a monocular camera. The goal of the robot is to reach a desired location defined in terms of a target image, i.e., a positioning task. The proposed approach allows us to introduce a desired time to complete the positioning task, which is advantageous in contrast to the classical exponential convergence. In particular, finite-time convergence is achieved while generating smooth robot velocities and considering the omnidirectional waking capability of the robot. In addition, we propose a hierarchical task-based control scheme, which can simultaneously handle the visual positioning and an obstacle avoidance tasks without affecting the desired time of convergence. The controller is able to activate or inactivate the obstacle avoidance task without generating discontinuous velocity references while the humanoid is walking. Stability of the closed-loop for the two task-based control is demonstrated theoretically even during the transitions between tasks. The proposed approach is generic in the sense that different visual control schemes are supported. We evaluate a homography-based visual servoing for position-based and image-based modalities, as well as for eye-in-hand and eye-to-hand configurations. The experimental evaluation is performed with the humanoid robot NAO.

Pope Francis named Person of the Year 2013 by Time magazine
Pope Francis has been named Person of the Year 2013 by Time magazine after only nine months in office.
The Pope had pulled "the papacy out of the palace and into the streets", managing editor Nancy Gibbs said.
"Rarely has a new player on the world stage captured so much attention so quickly – young and old, faithful and cynical," she added.
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden was runner-up.
Buenos Aires Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope last March. He named himself Francis after a 12th Century Italian saint who turned his back on an aristocratic lifestyle to work with the poor.
Since then, Pope Francis has eschewed some of the more regal trappings of high office, made headlines by washing the feet of prisoners, and is planning some major reforms to the Church.
Pope Francis has been named Person of the Year 2013 by Time magazine after only nine months in office
"In his nine months in office, he has placed himself at the very centre of the central conversations of our time: about wealth and poverty, fairness and justice, transparency, modernity, globalization, the role of women, the nature of marriage, the temptations of power," Nancy Gibbs wrote.
Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, said it was "a positive sign" that one of the international media's most prestigious recognitions had been given to "a person who proclaims… spiritual, religious and moral values and speaks out forcefully in favor of peace and greater justice".
"The Holy Father is not looking to become famous or to receive honors," said Federico Lombardi.
"But if the choice of Person of Year helps spread the message of the Gospel – a message of God's love for everyone – he will certainly be happy about that."
This is the third time a Pope has received the recognition from Time magazine. John Paul II was selected in 1994 and John XXIII was chosen in 1962.
Besides Edward Snowden, this year's other finalists were US activist Edith Windsor, US Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Despite teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, Kodak will forever be legend. Slides! Kodachrome! Advantix! In the 2000s, they morphed into a maker of easy-to-use digital cameras and pocket camcorders. But looking back, there's one product more indelible than the others: the Funsaver.
A disposable camera? Admittedly, the Funsaver was no technological achievement. It was probably the furthest thing from such a distinction. But it took the concept of disposable cameras mainstream. I used them. You used them. Unless you're currently going through puberty, we've likely all used one at some point.
Save for hobbyist photographers who probably scoffed loudly at the thought of disposable cameras, these things were great. If you lost it, you were only out six bucks and a single roll of photos. Even better was the UNDERWATER disposable camera. It was like I was holding the future in my 10-year-old hands.
Of course, for those of us who are scatterbrained dolts, we got these photos developed just as infrequently the rolls of film in our normal cameras. Except instead of a compact cylinder, we had had these blocky white/yellow/red/black boxes littered about the house.
The digital camera rendered the Funsaver obsolete once they landed in the sub-US$200 price range. In fact, nearly all non-SLR cameras went the way of the dodo after the year 2000.
I think my mother still has an entire bag of undeveloped funsavers. I want to take them in and have them developed.

Joseph Bloomfield Leake (April 1, 1828 – June 1, 1918) was an attorney and an Iowa State Senator who entered the Union Army during the American Civil War. He became a Brevet Brigadier General before the war was over. After the war he became the U.S. District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago.

Biography

Early life and career
Leake was born in Deerfield, New Jersey, and later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated from Miami University in 1846 and then studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1850 and set up a practice in Davenport, Iowa. Leake was elected to the Iowa Senate and served during the war session of 1861.

Military service
Leake resigned his seat in the state senate and became a captain of Company G of the 20th Iowa Infantry. He was commissioned a Lieutenant Colonel when the regiment was organized at Camp Kirkwood in Clinton, Iowa. He led the regiment at Prairie Grove, Vicksburg, Yazoo City, and Port Hudson. On September 29, 1863, in an engagement called the Battle of Stirling's Plantation near Morganza, Louisiana Leake was injured and captured by the Confederates. He was held prisoner at Camp Ford near Tyler, Texas.  He was the highest ranking Union officer in the camp and he looked after the needs of the other Union POWs.

He was released from Camp Ford in a prisoner exchange in July 1864. Some of the soldiers from the 19th Iowa Infantry presented Leake with a new sword to replace the one he lost when he was taken prisoner. He returned to his regiment and participated in the capture of Fort Gaines and Fort Morgan near Mobile, Alabama. On March 13, 1865, he was awarded the rank of brevet brigadier general. The following month Leake led his regiment during the Battle of Fort Blakely in Alabama.

Later life and death
After the war Leake returned to Davenport and was re-elected to the Iowa Senate. He moved to Chicago in 1871 and was appointed the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. On September 21, 1887, he was elected the attorney for the Chicago Board of Education. He was a member of the Ulysses S. Grant Post #28 of the Grand Army of the Republic and served as State Commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States from 1894 to 1895.

Leake was married twice. His first wife was Cordellia Scott and he married his second wife, Mary P. Hill, on December 9, 1865. He had no children. Leake died in Chicago and was buried in Oakdale Cemetery in Davenport.

A blend of wheat, brown rice, and wheat bran for that extra boost in fiber.

Individual arrival by car to Trogir or by plane to Split airport, which is about 5 km/3 mi. away from the harbour of Trogir. After check in on the motor yacht (at around 2:30 pm) the first short cruise starts around 3 pm from Trogir to the Island of Šolta. On the way we have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim from the boat. The first night is spent on the Island of Šolta.
We go on a morning crossing to Hvar Island with its island capital Hvar town. After arrival we take a city tour across the large Renaissance Square which is surrounded by the cathedral and many late gothic palaces. There we hike to the Spanish fortress that towers above the town. From here we have a fabulous view onto the city and the surrounding islands. At about noon our boat takes us to Vis toen on the island of Vis, which was already colonized by the Greeks and is the most remote inhabited island from the Dalmatian mainland. Grap the opportunity to take a refreshing swim from the boat. Ashore at Vis our tour guide will take us on a nice guided group walk in the afternoon to the fortress of St. George which played an important role in the maritime history of the island. Overnight stay at Vis.
Early in the morning crossing to Račišće on the island of Korčula. An afternoon cycle tour takes us eventually to the same island capital. We take a little tour through the town to see the highlights: St Mark's Cathedral where we can admire the famous altarpiece by Jacopo Tintoretto. The alleged birthplace of explorer Marco Polo is worth a visit as well. There is also a magnificent view from the tower of the house onto the sea. After an out-of-town dinner the evening is spent in the bustling port town Korčula.
We go on a morning crossing to Stari Grad situated on the north side of Hvar Island. The old town of Stari Grad has become a Mecca for artists and art lovers. After a crossing including a swim break and lunch on board we cycle nicely from Stari Grad to Jelsa. Around 5:30 pm we enter the boat and leave for our overnight stay close to Brač. Let the evening fade away anchoring with a lovely Captains dinner.
After breakfast the morning offers us enough time to indulge in water activities and group activities on the beach, suitable for everyone to participate in, before we leave for Lovrecina. From here a hike (aprx. 1.5 h) leads us along the shoreline to Postira. Here you are able to enjoy an evening meal in a typical Konoba and relax in a sea-side café as the sun sets after an eventful day. Overnight stay at Postira.
After a short crossing to Omiš with its pirate castles we have either the opportunity to participate in a rafting tour on the Cetina River (not included in the tour price) or explore the old town of Omiš and its pirate castle on foot. In the afternoon we are able to swim from the boat before cruising to Rogač on the island of Šolta where we will spend the night.
In the first half of the day we can either cycle or take a bus transfer to Goran, a local beekeeper to participate in an interactive workshop on bees, their purpose, products and the life of a beekeeper. Goran is an expert in capturing the fascination of young and old with the enthusiasm he has for the bees which he keeps. Whoever wishes to cycle more, can cycle on to Maslinica before returning to Rogač where the boat will wait. Lunch will be enjoyed on board during the last crossing by boat for the week as the captain charters his course back to Trogir. Along the way the anchor is droped for an enjoyable dip in the Adria directly from the boat. In the afternoon we enjoy Trogir by taking a walk through the UNESCO protected old town. Traditionally the last evening before disembarkation is spent cheerfully with guests, crew and guides.
After breakfast disembarkation until 9 am and individual trip home or extended stay in Croatia.
The cycle tours we offer here take place under the expert guidance of your tour guide, who is familiar with the terrain. The bicycle tours do not require special physical fitness. The walks and short hikes are led on safe trails, which are partially paved at times and are also not at all challenging. Should any of the activities require greater fitness, your tour guide will point this out beforehand.
Your boat will be waiting for you in the port of Trogir. Some days before departure we will send you all details about the embarkation.
To reach the boat at Trogir harbor we recommend to take a taxi (destination: harbor of Trogir, approx. 6 km/20 euro). You can use a public bus (no. 37) as well, which takes you within 15 min to Trogir town and stops in Trogir opposite the market. It leaves at the bus stop on the main road in front of the airport every 20 - 30 min.
The old town of Trogir with the harbour area is very close.
If you are planning to reach Trogir by car travelling through Slovenia, we remind you that you need to purchase the vignette in order to drive on the Slovenian motorways. It costs about 15 € for a week and 30 € for a month.
We can book a safe parking place for you in Trogir, in a private area which is close to the port (cost: 50 € to be paid on site, on a first come first served basis). Anyway, there are no insurances against theft or damages to the car. You can ask your guide where your parking place is.
Included: overnights, breakfasts, 11 meals (drinks and 3 meals are not included).
The wooden motor cruiser San Snova, 31 x 8 m in size, took to the water in 2009 and has worked exclusively with Islandhopping ever since. This magnificent construction took shape over the course of three years and sets a milestone in the boat building scene in Croatia as it is the last wooden boat of its kind to be built.
The 14 guest's cabins are welcoming and equipped with air conditioning and a private shower/WC. The salon and its wooden finish provides a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, supported by the many seating arrangements on deck as well as the possibility to lie comfortably on the sun deck. The crew on board pay special attention to cleanliness and maintenance on board and radiate a friendly and inviting atmosphere to the guests on board.

Bellissimo itinerario. Tanto sole, mare, visite a luoghi storici e culturali meravigliosi, e buon cibo. Se però volete pedalare un po' di più forse questo non è l'itinerario per voi.
generalmente non scrivo molte recensioni ma questa volta devo condividere il mio entusiasmo con voi!
Partita da sola con mio figlio di 11 anni, posso confermare che è stata davvero una bellissima esperienza. Nessun italiano, gruppo internazionale (mio figlio fortunatamente parla inglese quindi è stata anche un'occasione per esercitare un po' la lingua!), ottima organizzazione, barca superconfortevole, buon cibo a bordo, accompagnatori disponibili. Le isole della Crozia sono molto belle ed ogni giorno c'era una cosa particolare da fare: giro in bici, trakking, bagno di notte, rafting (che consiglio vivamente).
Ogni volta che ci fermavamo a fare il bagno, avevamo a disposizione canoe, sup, gonfiabili, palloni etc etc. nelle ore di navigazione o nei "tempi morti" i ragazzi avevano giochi e carte adatti alla loro età. Assolutamente consigliato!!! ps. da sapere: a Trogir sono convenzionati con un hotel di fronte al porto dove al vostro arrivo potete lasciare gratuitamente i bagagli se il vostro rientro è previsto nel pomeriggio.
Una delle più belle vacanze che abbia mai fatto: il guisto mix di relax e attività... barca, mare, bicicletta, trekking, rafting: cosa si può chiedere di più?
Per noi è stata una bellissima esperienza grazie alla buona (e non facile) organizzazione di base e grazie a qualcosa che è impossibile da prevedere: la sinergia tra I partecipanti! Esperienza da consigliare e già consigliata ai nostri amici più vicini.
Ci siamo tuffati, bagnati, schizzati, sudati.... bambini - adolescenti - adulti e anche anziani! ci siamo divertiti tutti!


Don Miguel Ruiz's brilliant little book, The Four Agreements, has weighed heavily on me for a few years now. It has inspired more contemplation and reflection than most, and even inspired my own piece on the 2nd agreement, Don't Take Anything Personally. The recent news of Robin Williams' tragic death has many bewildered over such a bright, vibrant and funny personality succumbing to such darkness. And it is the onslaught of opinions and reactions that has me reflecting on the 3rd agreement, Don't Make Assumptions.
Years of memes and quote sharing has helped us all see, even for a brief moment, that we never know the struggle of another, that we're all winding our own weird path, often filled with deep pain and sadness, and there's no way to know another's plight unless we walk in their shoes. And we simply can't. It's impossible. And even within our closest loved ones, it is difficult to empathize and even understand their pain.
I do not personally struggle with addiction. That is not how my darkness manifests. It would be arrogant for me to assume to know the depth of pain, solitude, and endless confusion one might be enduring every single day to just survive. It would be just as arrogant for me to assume the whys and hows of one struggling with depression and anxiety, something I do have personal experiences with, both within my own psyche and as an outsider attempting to help loved ones.
We make assumptions about others, the reasons for their behaviors, the backstory to their pain in an attempt to square away some cognitive dissonance in ourselves. We don't want to believe that sadness can cut so deep that fame, fortune and adoration cannot elevate it. We can't fathom a loneliness so potent that a person surrounded by love isn't somehow at the same time filled with that love within.
All the beauty in the world and all the examples and demonstrations of love simply aren't enough. It is one thing to see, it is quite another to feel, understand and live in the truth of it. And often our forays into both lightness and dark are attempts to understand and receive glimpses of just that: Love.
Out of respect for our fellow humans we should make no assumptions about their lives. As innate as it feels to analyze thoughts and actions, it serves no one to draw conclusions based on nothing but our own mental machinations. And out of concern for our own sanity we should also make no assumptions about why someone is behaving in a certain way, whether it directly affects us or not. Easier said than done but the wiser choice.
Similar to not taking anything personally, often when we assume the truth of another it is merely a projection and reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Most human beings fall into the trap of making something about ourselves, allowing ourselves to feel offended, hurt, misunderstood or forgotten simply from assumptions created by our own minds.
That last example was just for levity, but you get my drift. I've fallen into these patterns of assumption so many times, too many times to even count. We've all most likely, at some point in our lives, been on the giving and receiving ends of assumptions. And at neither time does it feel good, does it satisfy whatever discomfort we're trying to dissolve. It simply keeps our minds stirring, distracted from real life, pulled away yet again from the present moment.
The questions and statements above are very generic and broad, obviously we can get much more specific, detailed and often mean in our assumptions. And with the case of Robin Williams' death and the tragic happenings of many other people we feel (assume) we know, the unkind and presumptive thoughts that suicide is selfish or cowardly, there must have been some lack of gratitude or perspective, or that there were any real choices in the matter are more reflective of those judging than those whose lives we're carving hypotheses about.
Often the line between darkness and light is quite thin. And those providing the most light and levity frequently deal with deep, private darkness. As one who considers herself a bit of a comedy nerd, I've learned how many of those most talented are engulfed in crippling depression, anxiety and dread.
And I think many of you are aware of similar occurrences within Yoga.
It is my own experiences with darkness that led me to Yoga, a practice and career that I feel balances me, helps me share mere moments, lessons and aspects of light I wish I felt more. And sharing those experiences does just that; helps me feel. More.
My parents divorced when I was young. As sadly common as it was and still is, being the only child of my biological parents made the experience feel endlessly confusing, sad and lonesome. This caused many sleepless nights drowning in the depths of assumption. Throughout my adolescence and early adulthood I doubted real love existed, certainly didn't expect to feel it myself. And it is precisely through art, films like Mrs. Doubtfire, practices like Yoga and Meditation, and raw, honest comedy that I was first able to glimpse real light and real love.

Beijing to Moscow: Trans-Mongolian Railway
An epic rail journey from Beijing to Moscow on the Trans-Mongolian Railway is as much about the journey as it is about the destination, and it's not a stretch to say that it's a lifetime travel dream for many. Covering a distance of 7,621km, this journey offers a glimpse into a range of worlds speeding across the landscape from the comfort of a first-class carriage.
The gateway is a modern railway station in Beijing. Smartly-dressed railway attendants stand at each carriage, checking tickets and ensuring everyone is seated at their allocated space. The train then begins its journey through Beijing's cityscape.
The suburbs of tall apartment complexes quickly disappear, replaced by the vast open space of rural China as it opens up. The journey is a visual feast, especially once the train slips past the Great Wall as it snakes across the brown hills and towards the mysteries of Mongolia.
Ulaanbaatar is the world's coldest capital city and a convenient stop to break the journey. The city highlight is the Gandan Khiid Monastery, home to over 800 monks and houses the gold-covered 26.5m tall Buddha.
However, the main attraction is not the noisy city but the vast grass-covered plains and staying in a traditional encampment. Many people still live their nomadic lifestyle herding cattle but some now offer their gers, or yurts, to visitors. These white-clad tents do not look like much from the outside but inside are rich deep carpets lining the walls and floor, a comfortable bed and a small fire creating a cosy escape from the cold, dark night.
With the 40m-tall imposing statue of Genghis Khan on horseback in mind, anyone can sign up and join the Mongol Hordes and swoop across the Mongolian Steppes on horseback. The reality may be different from many people's imagination: local guides wearing traditional gear will help you onto small ponies – not big stallions – and lead you on a gentle ride into hills where you can see the endangered Argali Sheep. The trip back was very different, with the ponies throwing all caution to the wind and charging for home at speed. Unlike the armies of old, a hot meal and a comfortable bed await each traveller.
Life onboard the train quickly takes on a rhythm. It is tempting to bring many books and activities but fellow passengers may prove to be more interesting, with small groups milling in the corridor or gathering in the dining compartment to share stories, drink and food. The ever-changing view and stops at stations become part of the backdrop.
The stations give a chance to stretch the legs, buy local food for the next meal and watch the passing parade of people and goods. Travelling in first class is very different to the rest of the train which is full with locals, black market goods and hardy travellers – these carriages are noisy, smoky, crowded and smell of food and sweat. They offer a lifeline for people along the route and an experience of a lifetime for the intrepid traveller.
An easy, though stern, border crossing in the middle of the night and a change of running gear marks the entry into Siberia; the land of salt mines, penetrating cold, and vast forests.
The former military outpost of Irkutsk is now a modern city and a popular stop due to its proximity to Lake Baikal. After a quick recharge, travellers can head out of the city to its playground on the lake. The 64km long and 1.5kmdeep lake holds around 20,000 cubic kilometres, or 20% of the world's freshwater and is, therefore, a must-see.
One of the many places to stay is the small village of Bolshie Koty which can be accessed by hydrofoil. Its main appeals are the scenic walks and the welcoming locals who can provide an insight into Russian life, food and vodka. In the summer, professionals
from Irkutsk open their summer homes to visitors to supplement their meagre incomes which provide travellers with an authentic experience. Many laughs and stories are shared over the evening meals of traditional food including Borscht, a traditional beetroot soup.
For the energetic, a 20km walk to Listvyanka along the shore and forests of Lake Baikal is a must. Others may prefer to take the ferry – with their luggage in town – before returning to Irkutsk before continuing on the final 3 to 4-day leg to Moscow.
If time permits, this leg can be broken up with stops at the various cities along the way. Although 3 days on a train sounds daunting, time passes very quickly with several stops a day, usually for 10-20 minutes which give you time to stretch the legs, take photos, and purchase local cuisine.
Handy Tips
While it remains a popular option for travellers, booking the railway journey is not simple – it's recommended to use a travel agent to make all the necessary reservations. While it may sound cliche, getting to know the carriage attendant is handy, as they can smoothen the journey.
It's important to choose the class of travel to suit your needs and budget – you want to be able to balance 'experience' with comfort for your once-in-a-lifetime journey. Prior to the trip, some handy resources include the Trans-Siberian Handbook by Bryn Thomas, and the 'Man in Seat 61' website.
As the train edges into Moscow, it's not unusual to experience a bit of anticipation and restlessness. The terminus is the busy Yaroslavski Station, located in downtown Moscow which is a short distance away from the severe-looking Hilton Moscow.
The hotel is part of Moscow's Seven Sisters – a group of skyscrapers built in the 1950s Stalinist neoclassical style which focuses on socialist realism art. Mixing Russian neoclassical style with the style of American skyscrapers of the 1930s, the hotel was designed to be the finest luxury hotel in Moscow when it was completed in 1954. The hotel's staircase features one of the longest lighting fixtures in the world.
The hotel towers above Komsomolskaya Square – with its three ornate railway stations of Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky and Kazansky – along with a main ring road of downtown Moscow, making it easy to access the city's sites including the Red Square.

Henri Agasse (14 April 1752 – 1 May 1813), was a French publisher and editor, associated with Charles-Joseph Panckoucke.

Biography
The son of Guillaume Agasse, lord of Maurevert and Cresne, accounts clerk of the royal household and chamber and the Chevalier de Maurevert, in 1787 he married Antoinette Pauline Panckoucke, daughter of the editor Charles-Joseph Panckoucke.

On his death, his widow was licensed to succeed him as printer on 11 May 1813.

Succession
His nephew Henry Agasse de Cresne was a notary from 1810 to 1837 and a shareholder of the Bank of France. He was involved in the recovery after 1847 of the maison Panckoucke (lost by Charles-Louis-Fleury Panckoucke) and he lived in a chateau near Melun. At his death, his estate was evaluated at more than 3.5 million.

5f999ceca8b79e1616fac8d7eedc39c4 The Snyder Family: Friday Favorites: This and That Edt.
Woo hoo! Time for another Friday Favorites, this week I'm sharing a random assortment of photos from our week and some things we are currently loving. The weather in Chicago is COLD, icy and snowy, poor Isla has come down with another virus and we are just hoping to enter the weekend with three healthy little ladies.
One: I was able to snap a few photos of Isla this week, I'm hoping to have a few photo sessions within these next few weeks instead of hiring a professional this time around. Let me tell you, as if we all didn't already love and respect out favorite photographers, taking photos of a BUSY almost one year old is a full body workout!
Three: If you are looking for a way to beat "Cabin Fever" I highly recommend finding somewhere where you can take the kiddos to SWIM! We signed-up Avery for swim lessons through our local YMCA and while she takes the lesson, Scott swims with the other little ladies and it is such a highlight of our week! We are also amazed at how far Avery has come with her swimming, she can tread water AND is even starting to learn the front crawl/freestyle, we just love watching her!
Mom Tip: We bring the girls pj's, give them a quick shower in the family locker room, put on their pj's, that way when we get home, it's time for dinner and off to bed they go! They always fall asleep in a snap after a full hour of swimming fun, everybody wins!
Four: I may just be OVER these cold Chicago winters, but I am already dreaming about summer and our upcoming Disney trip in May! Have you seen the ADORABLE swimsuits that Target already has out for the littles? I could just scoop-up one of each they are SO cute! Speaking of swimsuits, where is your favorite place to shop swimwear for yourself!? I had the best luck with Target last year and also ordered a two piece from the brand Cup She off of Amazon, which I also liked, but was a little skimpy in the rear area ;) Linking some of my favorite Mommy & Little Lady swimwear below!
Five: Let's talk The Bachelor! Who are your front runners? I think Hannah (non pageant version) and Cassie seem super sweet and I'm am SO wondering what the beef is between the two beauty pageant ladies! I was thinking I was team pageant Hannah, until that super creepy growl she did at the pool party!? I can't help but to think the two of them just don't get along and it's really nothing more serious then some girl drama!? Also, seeing the contestants ages on their interviews is making me feel like an old lady. Do you read Sheaffer Told Me To Bachelor recaps, they always make me giggle! One of my girlfriends also told me about the Podcast Rose Pricks, which is definitely NOT kid friendly, but also provides a good laugh!
Have the BEST weekend, I'm so excited to share some awesome posts on my blog next week, I'll be sharing a brand new Coffee Chat series featuring another amazing Mama! Can't wait for you to meet her, let me know what you're up to this weekend in my comments, see you next week!
Thanks for giving us all a great laugh Sheaffer! I know my girlfriends and I would love to eat tacos and chat Bachelor with you, thanks for stopping by!
Oh my goodness; you got some really adorable shots already! But, yeah I totally agree that photographing toddlers takes monumental effort.
Right! I took SO many photos and only a handful were in focus because my little lady was moving around like crazy. Luckily my Mom was over to catch her if she went crawling off the bed, ha! That's why we pay the pros :) Happy Weekend!
What a fun week! Photographing toddlers is quite the task! The cart organization post is SO GOOD! So many great tips!
Hey Mary! I'm so glad you found the organizing post helpful, I'm setting up a new version of the art cart for my little ladies today, it's getting down to -23 in Chicago today! Stay warm!
Look at sweet Isla! I hope all your little ladies feel better. The germs are just out of control lately and making me wish for spring even more. We LOVED our swimming lessons and hope to start back up soon -- you're so right, not much else tires kids out like a good swim before bed! I used to read those Bachelor recaps and need to start again. I can't really get into this season for some reason (not that that will prevent me from watching, haha).
I feel the same way about the Bachelor and I kind of feel that way every season, does that mean I'm getting too old to watch!? Ha! I think the little ladies are finally feeling better, one more day of rest and we should be good to go, hopefully January takes the germs when it goes!
Love your recommendation for swimming in an indoor pool- I will be looking into that! Awesome meal plan too- thanks for sharing!
Hey Holly! Swimming is such a great winter activity, it's literally -25 here today and we are all going stir crazy! Dreaming of warm weather, hope you're having a great week!
OH my goodness your art cart is exactly up my alley! I LOVE it and can't wait to see how you style it for other holidays.
Hey Jaclyn! The art cart is SO fun, the girls and I could do art all day long! I'll have to share other ways I set it up for the little ladies, happy Tuesday!
I love my 3-tier cart! It was a birthday present a couple years ago and I use it to store all my accessories, it's so useful and cute!
That's such a great use for it too! I feel like I could own a cart for every single room, they make sure great storage AND they are cute, thanks for stopping by, hope you're having a great week!

What is TRE
Sept 23, 2015: Starting with the Kids
By Sae Kani
Today was the first day with the students of classes 4, 5 and 6. Instead of our usual approach of discussing the theory and teaching the exercises, we started with asking the children questions about their feelings. "How did you feel when the earthquake happened?" They answered "I was afraid" "I was scared" Then I asked "What happens to you when you hear a loud noise or feel a little tremor?" They answered by showing me a gesture of "shock".
I also asked "What happens to you when you have had an argument with your friends?" "What happens to you when miss your family?" They answered "I cry!" "I cannot eat!" "I cannot sleep!" "I feel guilty!" I asked "What happens to your body then?" They answered "I get a stomachache!" "I get a headache!" "I vomit!" They are indeed feeling a lot.
When I saw their faces at the first day, I noticed that many of the older students furrowed their brows. While the small kids are very giggly and smiley, the older ones seemed less so. It could be something to do with their sensitive age, but the older ones must be feeling a lot in their day-to-day life.
Although many of the students said that they were no longer afraid of an earthquake, many of them said they were missing their families and sometimes cry for them. Although it was said that none of their families died in the earthquake, their home villages are very far away, some too far to walk back. None of them have gone home since the earthquake.
As part of the TRE evaluation, we asked the students to create a picture of the human body in order to identify places where they felt pain or discomfort after the earthquake, then asked them to put stickers of different colors on places where they felt tremors after each session.
They had so much fun drawing a human body. Some in the group drew a woman with long hair, some a male and some drew a skeleton!
They also made a chart that listed their feelings, to describe their positive and negative feelings. After the TRE session they put stickers on the chart to compare their feelings after the earthquake and how they felt after the TRE.
Now the training materials are ready! We will start with the oldest group and continue with 6 more classes, ages from 7 until 18.

What great work that you are doing. Having them draw outlines of different bodies then identifying feelings and where they felt the tremors after doing TRE is a fantastic way of entering into and understanding their experiences.
