Pulling The Lever On Unilever
Izzo Zwiren
Amid growing outrage over Ben and Jerry's decision to halt all business in Judea and Samaria, the America's largest township took action. Last Thursday, the Town of Hempstead became the first to prohibit any future business with not only the famous ice cream brand, but also with its parent company, Unilever. Flanked by a bipartisan coalition, Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin made the announcement ending business relations with Unilever. This decision follows a 2016 law that prohibited the town government from conducting business with anyone that openly boycotts America or its allies, including Israel.
Although Ben and Jerry's does have its own board of directors, Clavin explained that Unilever does bear responsibility for this decision. "I don't want to hear the corporate heads say, 'oh, it's not us,'" Clavin stated. "It is you. You're allowing this to take place…If you're going to allow this anti-Israeli sentiment to take place, you can't hide. You are going to be held responsible. We are going to stop doing business with you and now we're urging everyone else to follow our lead once again."
And join him they did. And not just townships, but entire states. According to the Times of Israel, five US states are reviewing their policies and capabilities of ceasing all business with Ben and Jerry's and Unilever. They are Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Even New York City mayor Bill de Blasio jumped on board with those condemning the decision, stating that he will be boycotting Ben and Jerry's "as least for a little while."
This announcement is part of a growing movement of local government speaking out and legislating based on international geopolitics. Back in May, mayoral candidate Andrew Yang infamously flip-flopped within the span of a few days on his stance on Israel, causing backlash from all sides. As local politics continue to encompass many national and international issues, the Town of Hempstead became one of the first to take action against a company for joining in with the BDS movement.
Clavin told the sizeable crowd that he would no longer be purchasing Ben and Jerry's or any Unilever products for his home, and would be trashing all Unilever products currently in his house. When asked if he would be encouraging local businesses to follow suit, Clavin responded that it was not a bad idea to talk to local vendors about the possibility of pulling Unilever products from the shelves.

Roof_Ground_Water_Winner! //
Omaha by Design
Results are in from Omaha's Green in the City Competition, and we're excited to announce that our team, comprised of el dorado inc, Urban Rain Design and the KSU Design+Make Studio won. The full press release follows.
Green in the City, launched last fall, is a national design competition to create an innovative urban community space in downtown Omaha. The site is adjacent to two projects under development in the 10th and Pacific block – the new home of the BLUEBARN Theatre and Boxcar 10, a mixed use building with a small parking area.
Min l Day, an architectural partnership with offices in Omaha and San Francisco, is designing the BLUEBARN Theatre and Boxcar 10 projects. Omaha philanthropist Nancy Mammel, the developer of Boxcar 10, has donated the land for the theatre and green space and is providing the lead gift for the Green in the City competition. Once the Green in the City project is complete, the BLUEBARN Theatre will assume ownership of the open space and will be responsible for its maintenance.
As winner of the competition, El Dorado Inc. will be awarded a design commission to complete the project pending approval of the sponsor and project stakeholders.
"On behalf of our design team, we're thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Min l Day and the BLUEBARN Theatre to see the Green in the City competition through to fruition," said David Dowell, principal with El Dorado Inc. "We truly enjoyed the competition process. It was well run and clearly supported by the community. The five final proposals were inspiring – each unique in their own way – and we're honored to be in such talented company."
The winning proposal, "Roof, Ground, Water," begins with the visually arresting roof of the BLUEBARN Theatre. The goal is to create a roof corollary on the ground that's flexible and accessible while showcasing the holistic management of stormwater on a development site. "On a poetic level, through the rigorous choreography of water flow from high to low, we are making gravity visible, acoustical and felt," Dowell said.
The proposal also seeks to involve architecture and landscape architecture students from Kansas State University, where Dowell teaches, and construction management students from the University of Nebraska's Peter Kiewit Institute in Omaha.
Dowell said his team looks forward to spending more time in Omaha and joining the effort to expand the BLUEBARN Theatre for the next 25 years and beyond.
The competition netted more than 50 applications from across the country, said Connie Spellman, director of Omaha by Design. A jury of five landscape, art and design professionals narrowed the applications down to five finalist teams. The teams were then interviewed by the jury in Omaha earlier this month. Jury members are Porter Arneill, director/public art administrator, City of Kansas City; Jeff Day, Omaha-based principal, Min | Day; Robert Duncan, contemporary art collector and chairman emeritus, Duncan Aviation; Gina Ford, principal, Sasaki Associates; and Adam Price, executive director, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. An open house showcasing the five design proposals was held at KANEKO Jan. 21-24.
Project updates will be provided as plans for the green space are finalized and construction begins. For more information, contact Omaha by Design at 402.554.4010 or info@omahabydesign.org.

« A message to Cuban prisoners of conscience: 'You are not forgotten here' | Main | Danny López de Moya, Cuba Political Prisoner of the Week, 4/22/12 »
Cuba prisoner of conscience Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia in solitary confinement
Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia
FoxNews.com has the latest on one of Cuba's most valiant freedom fighters, Jose Daniel Ferrer, who is being held without charge after his arrest April 2:
The opposition Cuban Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation on Thursday denounced the fact that former political prisoner José Daniel Ferrer remains in jail without any charges being filed against him more than two weeks after being arrested.
"He continues to be detained, allegedly under 'provisional imprisonment' in the political secret police station in Santiago de Cuba, where he has remained interned, under cruel and subhuman conditions, since April 2," commission spokesman Elizardo Sánchez said in a communique.
Ferrer, who was among the "Group of 75" dissidents sentenced to lengthy prison terms in the spring of 2003, heads the illegal Patriotic Union of Cuba and was arrested in Santiago along with other opposition members.
The commission said that as of early Thursday the formal charges against Ferrer had not been made known and he had not been assigned a defense attorney.
According to the text of the communique, the opposition figure is in "solitary confinement" and is being subjected to "a particular form of biological torture" given that he is being exposed to an "enormous plague of mosquitoes."
The commission also emphasized the "provisional imprisonment" of Bismarck Mustelier, whom it said is also a member of the Patriotic Union and "has been held in the high-security Aguadores prison" in Santiago.
As a member of the Group of 75, Ferrer was released on parole in March 2011 and was among the 12 opposition members of the Group who refused to travel to Spain as a condition of their release from prison.
In recent months, Ferrer has been briefly arrested several times in Havana and Santiago, the province where he resides.
Cuba's communist government considers dissidents to be counterrevolutionaries and mercenaries in the service of the United States.

Tell People When They Are Doing a Good Job
By Michael Schreiner | May 28, 2014
Almost all of us take on the role of 'trainer' in some capacity, whether it's as a parent, teacher, boss, or coach. Yet most of us are woefully unversed in the rules of behavioral psychology, with no idea of what the actual mechanisms are that we're using to get results.
One of the major mistakes many of us make is to start out with the expectation that the behaviors we want should be considered a given, so we let these behaviors pass by without remark, instead focusing on instances where our pupil makes a mistake. In the simplest possible language, it's that we don't tell people when they're doing a good job, we only tell them when they're doing a bad job. We think the best route to a desired end is by correcting problems.
There are myriad reasons why we let perfect opportunities to heap well-deserved praise upon our subjects pass us by without remark. Maybe we think we'd be spoiling them, or that they'd be tempted to think the job is done and that they don't need to try anymore, or maybe we just don't know how to do it because of our own upbringing. But whatever your reason for withholding praise, it's completely unjustified from a behavioral point of view. Praise is rocket fuel in the training world, one of the most powerful motivators for a subject, and the best way I know of to shape behaviors without any of the negative side-effects like shame, sadness, anger, or frustration that are almost always associated with criticism.
Praise doesn't work when it's inauthentic or incommensurate with the situation, but that's only because it doesn't qualify as a positive reinforcement in these cases and therefore has no predictable influence on future behavior. If you want to make praise work for you, it's got to be in the moment so that your subject knows beyond doubt which specific behavior it is tied to. This was something I learned from one of my mentors in the counseling setting years ago when I was working with kids, where he instructed me to find specific things I liked and to tell the kids in the moment when I saw these behaviors.
This kind of validation makes everyone feel great and it makes the trait or behavior you are praising much more likely to occur in the future. Most of us are desperate to know how to act and just as importantly how we are perceived by others, but we're also desperately afraid of finding out we don't measure up. But we're all multifaceted, we are all a mix of negative and positive traits. No matter who your subject is, if you can let go of your stingy, critical attitude you will find a host of positive qualities that you can authentically comment upon. Tell people when they are doing a good job, don't let these perfect shaping opportunities pass you by, and they will be much more likely to keep doing a good job in the future
How to Elicit Behavior Negative Reinforcement Versus Positive Reinforcement There are two main ways to elicit behavior from those around us, negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement. Unfortunately most of use negative reinforcement far more often, which does tend to get good results in terms modifying the behavior in question but also invariably brings with it a lot of emotional […]...
Disappointment If you feel disappointed in yourself or someone else, it means you care, and this is a good thing. Feelings of disappointment mean that you are actively engaged and that you have a stake in the situation. Your mindful interest is great, it's proof that you are turned towards life, but how you express your […]...
Too Much Praise If you use any positive reinforcement too much it ceases to be a positive reinforcement and just becomes par for the course. Sure it's pleasant for the organism, but it won't have any effect on future behavior. Remember that the point of a reinforcement, positive or negative, is to make the behavior being reinforced more […]...
Increasing Skills The Right Way Hopefully if you have decided to pursue an endeavor your ultimate goal is to reach mastery in it, which we define as the highest level you are capable of reaching, not the highest level someone else is capable of reaching. If the goal is mastery, there will be many stages you must pass through on […]...
Learning To Accept Praise We all know that getting criticized hurts, even when it's valid, even when it's meant to help us. Most of us actively work to avoid criticism and to garner praise. We want those around us, especially the authority figures we respect, to see us in a positive light. From the gold star in elementary school […]...
Help For People Pleasers On the surface people pleasers seem laid back, amiable, and happy to go with the flow. But underneath, in the private world of their psyches, a storm rages. What they really feel is hostile and resentful. They feel pushed around and bullied. They feel angry at others for taking advantage of them. And they feel drained, drained […]...
Praise Versus Encouragement We tend to lump praise and encouragement together under the rubric of 'awesome positive reinforcements'. They share the qualities of making the subject feel really good, and when used in proper doses they make a desired behavior more likely to occur in the future. I started thinking about what makes them different, and the conclusion […]...
Do Not Punish The Wrong People For What Happens To You When our plans are thwarted or we feel diminished in some way, many of us find ourselves in the uncomfortable position of having a lot of negative energy to unload but not feeling able to direct it towards the correct person due an imbalance of power. So we punish the wrong people, usually those closest […]...
People Pleasers While the veneer is friendly and easygoing, people pleasers tend to have a lot of built up hostility and resentment roiling and broiling underneath the surface. They feel put out and taken advantage of. They tend to unleash their negativity onto the wrong targets, onto safe targets, onto close friends and family members. Of course […]...
Positive Reinforcements We will delve into positive reinforcements and start to apply them to real-world training situations. To reiterate, a reinforcer is anything that occurs at or around the time of an act that tends to increase the probability of that act occurring again. Sticking to positive reinforcements will get you better results and make you and […]...
Keeping Your New Years Resolutions We start out the New Year with the best of intentions, sure that this time we will be able to make good on our resolutions and be successful at whatever it is we have set out to do. But ephemeral intentions rarely translate into concrete changes and very few of us go the distance. A […]...
Managing Jealousy Some people will tell you that jealousy can be a good thing because it's a motivating force. You see what someone else has, that you are lacking in this area, and you feel compelled to work until you have it too. Even if this is true it's an attitude that takes all the joy out […]...
Why People Plateau It's true that there are limits to natural abilities and going too far beyond these limits is difficult, but it's also true that most people never come close to reaching their full potential. We're going to use some existential and behavioral ideas to show why people plateau, and show how a simple change in philosophy […]...
Dealing With Disruptive People The most important thing to understand when you're dealing with a disruptive person is that you might think you're in the position of authority in the relationship, but from a behavioral point of view you're the subject and the disruptive person is the trainer, using negative reinforcements to get a desired response. The negative reinforcement being utilized […]...
Why People Act Against Their Best Interests If what felt unpleasant in the moment always led to unpleasant, unwanted consequences far down the line and what felt pleasant in the moment always led to pleasant, wanted consequences far down the line then most people would live healthy, happy lives. Unfortunately delayed consequences are often diametrically opposed to felt consequences in the moment, […]...
Treating People As Bad Or Good Makes Them Bad Or Good I listened to an interesting interview with an expert on disaster relief on NPR. This was in the wake of the Nepal earthquake but he was interested in discussing the broader implications of how governmental agencies usually respond to disaster situations. He said that survivors are inclined to come together. The near death experience makes […]...
Understanding People Who Refuse To Ask For Help Business As Usual We all know those people who are clearly in need of help yet obstinately refuse to seek or accept it. This ranges from being highly skeptical of the efficacy of therapy to refusing to listen to the points of view of friends and loved ones. Despite the psychic conflict, despite the emotional […]...
Be Patient With People Who Are Grieving Loss affects everyone differently. One thing's for sure though, when someone summons up the courage to confront and move through grief we shouldn't expect the process to be fast or smooth. And we shouldn't fall victim to rating the severity of the loss on our own subjective scales. Even though as sympathizers and confidants most […]...
Conflict And Asking People Why They Did Something In conflict situations we often feel compelled to ask our interlocutors why they think, feel, or act in ways we find objectionable. While we might justify our "why?" questions on the grounds that we're genuinely curious there are some good reasons to keep this line of questioning to ourselves. The first reason is that whether […]...
People Have More Freedom Than They Believe Most people who feel trapped in their lives and relationships have a lot more freedom than they believe. The psychological problem is that in order to exercise that freedom they must first take responsibility for their situations. While remaining dependent upon various sources of authority saps personal freedom it also reduces painful existential anxiety. When […]...

On a bike and a prayer: A blind man's mission to break his limits
Jacob Kruger lost his wife and his eyesight in a bike accident, but that hasn't stopped his passion for life
Nonkululeko Njilo
"There are no limits other than those you apply to yourself."
These are the words of Jacob Kruger, 46, who lost his wife and his eyesight in a bike accident in November 2005. But one of first things he did after he had recovered from the accident was to start doing research on the Internet on "blind bikers".
He came across a man named Billy Baxter, who in 2003 set the blind world land speed record on a motorbike. Kruger, a self-taught web application developer who has always had a passion for motorcycles and computers, there and then decided to take his destiny in his own hands.
Despite the huge loss of his wife and the damage to his optic nerves that left him 100% blind, he made a choice not to feel sorry for himself.Earlier this month Kruger made history in the South African biking world by riding five full laps in the space of an hour at the Red Star Raceway in Delmas, Mpumalanga.
It had literally been a long road for him since the devastating 2005 accident, after which he had to learn not only to live as a blind person but also to cope with how others perceived him. "I was annoyed, irritated, cross and hated people's assumptions," he told Times Select.But 12 years later Kruger would smash stereotypes by driving a motorcycle with the help of Ian Howard, a motorcyclist who drove behind him and guided him through the ride with his voice.
Kruger's mission was to ride a full lap without stopping. He ended up doing five laps on a sponsored Suzuki SV 650 last weekend.
"It was a dream come true," said Kruger. "Reaching the finishing line felt really good. I was really determined. I knew there would be a lot of people at the event but I told myself that I was not going to put myself under pressure because I was doing this for myself."Howard told Times Select he met Kruger about eight years ago and the two became friends, which made it easy for him to agree to help him achieve his dream.
"When he first approached me, I thought: 'Let me just do it'," said Howard. He said it was "an absolutely rewarding experience" and that Kruger was remarkably relaxed about riding the bike.
The event enabled Kruger to raise a significant amount of cash that he donated to the charities Action for Blind and Disabled Children and the SA Guide Dogs Association. The latter reminded him of his wife, who was an animal lover. After her death, he donated money allocated to pay for her funeral to the SPCA.
"It took me a while to deal with her death," said Kruger. "But I figured there was no point in moping and decided to pursue the things I enjoyed doing: computers, riding and cooking."

Graphical user interfaces
The European Patent Office refused to grant a patent on a GUI design of a household appliance such as a baking oven. Here are the practical takeaways of the decision T 1818/14 (User interface for appliance/ELECTROLUX) of 2.12.2019 of Technical Board of Appeal 3.5.03:
The manner of presentation of information, i.e. how it is displayed, may relate to solving a technical problem and thus be able to contribute to inventive step if the way the information is displayed credibly assists the user in performing a technical task.
This European patent application concerns a user interface for an appliance such as a baking oven. Essentially, as defined in claim 1, the user interface has a controller for controlling a display panel which has first and second display panel sections. The first display panel section displays at least one of a time course and chart of linear, arrowed or curved geometry of at least one operation parameter, and the second display panel displays an operational mode of the appliance, the operational mode being represented by an animated graphics icon, the animated graphics icon being a superposition of at least one pictogram and an image sequence of several images.
Here is how the invention is defined in claim 1:
Claim 1 (main request)
User interface adapted to an appliance of household or industrial type selected from the group consisting of baking ovens, microwave ovens, washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers, comprising a display panel (1), and a controller adapted to controlling the display panel (1), and adapted to processing operational parameters of a preset or user defined program into display information, wherein the controller is adapted to display in a first display panel section (7) of the display panel (1) at least one of a time course (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and chart of linear, arrowed or curved geometry of at least one operational parameter, and wherein the controller is further adapted to display in a second display panel section (9, 10), other than the first display panel section (7), an operational mode of the appliance, the operational mode being represented by an animated graphics icon, and the animated graphics icon being a superposition of at least one pictogram (12) and an image sequence (13) of several images.
Is it technical?
The board based its inventive step reasoning on a prior art document which discloses a baking oven with a user interface. Implicitly, the user interface was controlled by a controller. There were also first and second display panel sections.
According to the board, claim 1 differed from this disclosure in that the animated graphics icon consists of a superposition of at least one pictogram and an image sequence of several images. Here is what the board said regarding the technical character of this difference:
In accordance with case law (cf. e.g. T 1185/13, point 4.1 of the reasons), the manner of presentation of information, i.e. how it is displayed, may relate to solving a technical problem and thus be able to contribute to inventive step if the way the information is displayed credibly assists the user in performing a technical task.
In the present case, the distinguishing features have no technical effect beyond the technical details of implementing an icon with a static part and an animated part. In particular, there is no improvement in the ability of the user to operate the oven by enabling further indications of the operational mode to be displayed, as argued by the appellant. In this respect, the animated graphics icon may be nothing more than a foreground representation of an oven with a background image sequence of burning wood, or a foreground picture symbolising the operational mode and an image sequence representing a fireplace with glowing coals (cf. paragraph [0056] of the description), which, when compared with D4, merely concerns a more aesthetically pleasing way of displaying the operational mode. Consequently, any improvement here lies within the field of a presentation of information (cf. Article 52(2)(d) EPC). Using the established COMVIK approach (cf. T 641/00), this aspect therefore does not contribute to inventive step.
The technical problem therefore reduces to that of how to implement technically an animated graphic icon consisting of a static part and a dynamic part. The claimed solution, i.e. the superposition of a pictogram and an image sequence, is deemed to be obvious to the skilled person based on common general knowledge, as it is well known that simple animation can be produced by a sequence of image frames (e.g. of a ball) superimposed on a background. A well-known example of this type of animation is the use of multiple image layers in the context of GIF (cf. EP 1 107 605 A2 (= D7), paragraph [0005], which refers to the prevailing state of the art). Further, in the case of D4, it is obvious that the "square box" part of the icon could be a static "pictogram", and the changing grill bars could be represented by a sequence of images. Furthermore, the appellant has not claimed that creating simple animation in this manner was per se not known in the art.
Therefore, the board concluded that claim 1 lacks an inventive step and dismissed the appeal.

Recently I attended a presentation by Dr Adam Fraser on what he calls "The Third Space" and want to share some of his findings and studies, in particular his words relating to tennis.
The third space for tennis players is the time between points where a player must reflect of the previous points, calm themselcves and get ready of the next point with optimisim. "What metal state, or how do you show up" for the next point.
After interviewing hundreds of people Dr. Fraser noticed a common thread. Those who were able to flourish in life and transition best did so because they mastered the 'Third Space'.
"The 'First Space' is what you're doing now. The 'Second Space' is what you're about to do and the 'Third Space' is the gap in the middle," explains Dr. Fraser.
To test the theory, Dr. Fraser conducted a study with Deakin University in Victoria. He asked 600 people to practice three steps when moving work to home.
2. Rest: Use this stage to calm your mind and recompose so you don't move onto the next task with racing thoughts. Depending on time, take a few deep breaths, calm yourself.
The research showed a remarkable 41 per cent improvement in people's behaviour at home when they followed the three steps.
I would highly recommend Dr Adam Fraser's book "The Third Space" to anyone, not just the tennis community, to learn ways on how to be successful and happy in all areas of your life.


Naypyidaw: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a three-day bilateral visit to Myanmar, justified decisions like demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) terming them as 'tough' while addressing the Indian diaspora in Yangon on Wednesday. "We never shy away from taking big and tough actions for the benefit of India because we consider the country bigger than politics," said the Prime Minister.
Talking about the note ban exercise, that has come under fire ever since its implementation, PM Modi said the step was taken to curb corruption in the country. "To deal with corruption, we banned currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination. A handful of corrupt people were making 125 crore people pay for their misdeeds. This was not acceptable to us. There used to be no clue as to from where black money was coming and where it was going," he said during his 35-minute address.
He also said that his government plans to develop a new India before the country turns 75. "We are not merely reforming India, we are transforming India. We are not merely changing India. We are developing a new India," said PM Modi. Elaborating on his vision of New India, he added, "An India free from poverty, terrorism, corruption, communalism, casteism is being created." He also added that the scale of investment that is happening in railways, transport and technology has never happened before.
He also invited the overseas community to participate in this transformation. Congratulating them for carrying Indian traditions across the globe, he said, "On June 21, International Yoga day is celebrated across the globe and India is synonymous with it. This global recognition of yoga is possible only because of you." Appreciating External Minister Sushma Swaraj, he said she is very active and is sensitive to the concerns of every Indian in any part of the world. "She is always ready to help on Twitter. Indian Embassy doors are always open for you," said PM Modi.

War of the Rebellion: Serial 034 Page 0603 Chapter XXXV. THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN.
About dark, I was ordered to relieve as far as possible Bate's brigade. The Twenty-third Tennessee Regiment relieved Brigadier-General bate's battalion of sharpshooters, on the right of the Garrison Fork, on the right of Bate's line, and in front of the Thirty-seventh and Fifteenth Tennessee Regiments, which regiments also retired when the Twenty-third advanced to take its position as skirmishers. At the same time the Twenty-fifth Tennessee Regiment relieved Colonel [A. F.] Rudler's Georgia regiment on a hill on the west side of Garrison's Fork and on the left of Bate's line, while the Seventeenth was placed on a conical hill about 1,200 yards west of Garrison's Fork, and about 600 yards to the left of the hill occupied by the Twenty-fifth Tennessee Regiment, all on the old Sharp farm. It was quite dark when the Seventeenth took its position, and the enemy's line seemed to be imperfectly indicated by a few camp-fires in the woods about 400 yards in front. The Twentieth Tennessee Regiment, of Bate's brigade, was not relieved at the time, but occupied a position immediately on the left or west of the Garrison Fork and on the right of the Twenty-fifth Tennessee Regiment. In this position, with strong line of skirmishers in front, my men rested as far as possible on their arms during the night. They were exposed to a drenching rain from about 3 till 6 o'clock on the morning of June 25. Indeed, the whole period included in this report was remarkable for the number of heavy rains, to all of which our troops were exposed without tents or any over shelter.
Brigadier-General Clayton's brigade arrived in rear of my line about 10 p. m., and with Captain J. w. Green, of the Engineers, and Brigadier-General Clayton I was engaged most of the night in selecting the excellent positions on my right which that brigade occupied before the dawn of day. The forty-fourth Tennessee Regiment, which Major-General Stewart had ordered up, arrived at my lines by daylight and took the position occupied by the Twenty-third, which was moved to the west side of the Garrison's Fork, and relieved the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment, of Bate's brigade.
About 3 o'clock at night a section of artillery (two brass pieces) was posted on the hill with the Twenty-fifth Tennessee Regiment, about 100 yards in front of that regiment. When the enemy discovered these guns in the morning, they moved a battery to a position in front of the knob occupied by the Seventeenth, and in a short time disabled one of the pieces by a shot though its train. The section was then withdrawn and replaced by a section of iron rifled Parrott guns from the Eufaula Battery, of Brigadier-General Bate's brigade.
At about 9 o'clock on the morning of June 25, Darden's battery opened upon the enemy advancing in line of battle. The infantry soon retired and a battery responded, until Captain Darden ceased firing by order of Major-General Stewart. The section of the Eufaula Battery stationed with the Twenty-fifth became engaged at the same time. The fire of the enemy's artillery was mostly directed during the day and the following morning at the positions held by our batteries, and exhibited excellent practice. The heavy line of skirmishers of the Forty-fourth Tennessee Regiment, consisting of Company A (the only company of that regiment armed with long-range guns), kept up a continued fire on the enemy's skirmishers in the skirt of woods near Jacobs' Store, though they were repeatedly instructed to reserve their fire and not to waste their ammunition.


How to master the art of eating sushi + brand new sushi menu at Party Chef by Foodhall.
Sushi is quickly gaining popularity in India. But even with sushi's wide availability, many people are baffled by it. It's easy to feel lost, not knowing what all the different types are — whether it has raw fish or not, and how to even begin to eat it. Here's a little guide we have created for beginner sushi eaters.
Rice is the basis for much of sushi — a special short-grain variety of rice is seasoned with a mix of rice, vinegar, salt, and sugar. The rice mixture, called shari, is a little sticky so it can be formed into the shape needed. In nigiri (a type of sushi) it is topped with fish while for maki (a type of sushi) it is rolled with the fish inside. You can even find sushi made with brown rice. Special variety of rice used in sushi making is available at the store so look for sticky rice if you want to try your hand at making fresh sushi at home.
Most people assume that sushi must be eaten with chopsticks but is actually recommended to eat certain sushi dishes, like maki rolls and nigiri with your fingers. This comes as saving grace for those who just can't use chopsticks. You shouldn't use wasabi on all sushi — typically nigiri as it is already seasoned with it. But if you prefer your sushi with a bit more heat, dab a bit of wasabi onto the sushi — never mix wasabi into soy sauce. It's considered rude. Use pickled ginger as a palate cleanser between bites, not as an additional topping. The ginger can also be used as a tool to brush your sushi with soy sauce using your chopsticks.
If it's your first time eating sushi, go with a few friends who understand it better than you, or sit at the bar and get recommendations from the sushi chef. They're always willing to help you understand the territory.

Santo tradutor é o nome dado aos discípulos de Mesrobes Mastósio, o inventor do alfabeto armênio no ano 405. Após a invenção desse alfabeto, foi necessário, de fato, traduzir as obras anteriormente transmitidas na Armênia apenas em grego e siríaco, e em primeiro lugar a Bíblia. Mastósio dividiu seus alunos em dois grupos para traduzir os Padres da Igreja do grego ou siríaco. Ele também enviou alguns deles aos grandes centros culturais do antigo Oriente, que eram Edessa, Constantinopla, Atenas, Antioquia ou Alexandria, para trazer de volta traduções das obras que não estavam na Armênia. Seu primeiro trabalho, ou seja, a tradução da Bíblia por , Lázaro de Parpi (XI), observa que "fundamos escolas para o povo. Copiadores ávidos se multiplicaram [...]. A ciência do Senhor enche a Armênia como as águas enchem o mar".

Daddy is not around on Father's Day weekend, so the celebration was postpone to the following week. Joey showed me a broucher for Elegant Inn, which is nearby my company, on Thursday. I browsed through and the Lobster Promotion caught my attention. I seldom have the chance to enjoy lobster as it is very expensive. Even if I have the chance, the amount of meat very little. I showed my parents the broucher the same night and both gave me the green light to make table reservation. Too bad sis and Brandon koko can't join as sis is allergic to seafood and she's currently pregnant!! That means I am going to be the world most awesome aunty soon. Hehe. The promotion is 6 course meal for 3 person at RM333++. Since there were 4 of us (mum, dad, me and Calvin), we added additional 1 set of appetizer, soup and dessert.
Us while waiting for my parents. My sis don't like my lace dresses but this is brand new. I can only wear when she's not around and should not take much photo while wearing it. Hehe.
There are 2 outlets for this restaurant available in Malaysia. The one we visited is at Menara Hap Seng (behind the Merz showroom) while the other one is at Taman Connaught.
Just like it's name, the restaurant is decorated elegantly. There are around 4 to 5 private rooms with karaoke facility. I browsed through the menu and their food are quite expensive as they serve mostly abalone, geoduck, shark fin and other expensive seafood. They serve dim sum for breakfast as well.
Our appetizer. Soft shell crab, chilled salmon and lobster with fried white radish cake. I love the chilled salmon and lobster the most (on the spoon). Sweet and sour, very appetizing.
For soup, we can choose between beef soup and shark fin soup. Since dad, mum and Calvin choose shark fin soup, I went for the beef soup. The beef went well with the special chilli paste. Soup was clear, sweet and most important, not oily at all. As for the shark fin soup, it is hidden in the dumpling look alike thing. Besides shark fin, there's prawn and scallop as well.
For the lobster, we can choose the method of cooking. The restaurant's specialty is salted chilli padi and cheese baked. Mum choose salted chilli padi as I don't really like cheese baked. The lobster is very big. The 2 claws are at the side of the plate and Calvin forgot to take a photo of it. The claw is as big and long as my palm. The meat was very sweet and fresh. Yummy yummy…..
The blur photo is actually Hong Kong kailan with preserved vegetable. Green dishes is a must for every chinese meal that we have. Sometimes 2. Hehe.
Chicken claypot rice with black fungus. I don't really like this but my mum love it. She said this just gave her the idea on her next chicken rice dish. Haihhhh…. Luckily I'm on salad diet currently. Haha.
Snow fungus with pear tong sui and black sesame muachi and peanut paste fried balls. Hehe. I finished the whole bowl of tong sui because this is my favourite tong sui for all time. This is my favourite among the favourite by far as the amount of sweetness is just right for my taste. I skipped the muachi and fried balls as my stomach nearly exploded at that moment. If Calvin didn't tagged along, I don't think the 3 of us could finish everything. Especially the lobster. Definitely worth the price.
The non food related photo that Calvin took. He was amazed when I told him the kitchen door operates by sensor like those found at the entrance of shopping mall (when you go near, the doors will open automatically). This is his best shot of the door after several attempts. Hahaha.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the dinner that night. I hope my parents felt the same way too. Round 2 will be this coming Saturday with sis and Brandon koko and shopping as well!! It will be like travelling down memory lane where very Sunday, the whole family will do grocery shopping at Jusco Taman Maluri. Ahhh…. those were those days… Looking forward for Round 2!!!

Two of the vehicles involved in a crash at Burpengary this morning. Police believe the red car had been stolen before the incident.
TRAFFIC CHAOS: Bruce Hwy closed, hour-long delays
14th Mar 2018 6:11 AM
UPDATE: The southbound lanes of the Bruce Highway have been cut between the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane after a crash early this morning, with delays of more than an hour.
Traffic is already banked from Burpengary back to Caboolture, and will worsen as the morning peak builds.
Motorway signs indicated at 6.30am that the travel time for the 5km to Uhlmann Road was expected to be more than an hour.
Emergency services were called to the incident southbound the Bruce Highway at Burpengary about 3:50am following reports of a three-car crash.
A police media spokeswoman told The Courier-Mail one driver has fled the scene after driving a stolen vehicle which was involved in the crash.
Police are now searching for the male driver.
All cars have now been towed, and diversions have been put in place for drivers this morning.
A number of ambulance units were on scene and have transported one patient to the Caboolture Hospital in a stable condition.
The incident occurred on the highway between Uhlmann and Deception Bay roads and traffic is being diverted.
The road surface was damaged in the crash and emergency work is being carried out to fix it before the road can be reopened.
Police say that is not likely to happen before 7am.
The news isn't much better for commuters on Brisbane's rail network, with services on a major line being suspended.
Ferny Grove line trains are suspended between Bowen Hills and Mitchelton stations due to a signal fault between Windsor and Wilston stations, Translink says.
Commuters have been warned to expect delays of up to an hour.
"Rail replacement buses are being organised to operate between Bowen Hills and Mitchelton Stations," a message on the Translink website says.
"A shuttle train will operate between Mitchelton and Ferny Grove stations."

The FBI had also been lobbying Clinton not to release Peltier. Two days before Janklow's visit, FBI Director Louis Freeh had written Clinton asking him to turn down Peltier's clemency petition.
"There is no dissent within our agency," Freeh wrote, "only the widespread belief that the criminal justice system of the United States rightly convicted and repeatedly affirmed that Peltier was nothing other than a cold-blooded killer."
The following week after Janklow's visit, hundreds of current and former FBI agents marched on Washington, trying to convince Clinton not to do it.
But it's worth remembering that Clinton and the FBI weren't on the best of terms when Clinton was leaving office. This from USA Today:
After years of clashes between the FBI and the White House, bureau officials privately fear that the outgoing president might take this opportunity to thumb his nose at FBI Director Louis Freeh and the bureau by pardoning the activist.
Peltier, 56, is serving two consecutive life sentences for the murders of special agents Ronald Williams, 27, and Jack Coler, 28, in a shootout on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation on June 26, 1975. . .
In a Pacifica Radio network interview last month, Clinton said that Peltier's request deserves a fair hearing and that he would decide the issue before leaving office.
Complicating the matter are hard feelings between the White House and the FBI left over from a string of disputes, including Freeh's support for continued investigation of campaign fundraising practices by Clinton and Vice President Gore.
Clinton ultimately left office without granting Peltier clemency, a fact that left some of his supporters bitter. In 2007, media mogul David Geffen explained his antipathy about Hillary Clinton's presidential bid to New York Times columnist David Geffen. Geffen, who raised millions for Bill Clinton, had personally lobbied the president to release Peltier. Geffen expressed his frustration that Clinton had pardoned friends, but had not release Peltier.
"Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in," he said.
"Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling."
Ultimately, the FBI prevailed. Marshall Damgaard, a former Janklow aide and the chief archivist for Janklow's papers at the University of South Dakota, found this gem following last week's story: A letter from Freeh to Janklow, written just after Clinton left office, thanking Janklow for intervening.

Nikolai Aleksandrovitch Tikhonov (; Carcóvia,   Moscou, 1 de julho de 1997) foi um político soviético. Foi primeiro-ministro da União Soviética, cargo conhecido como chefe do conselho de ministros da URSS, de 1980 até 1985.

Tikhonov estudou engenharia no Instituto metalúrgico de Dnepropetrovsk, sendo promovido em 1930. De 1930 a 1941 trabalhou na "Usina Metalúrgica Lênin" em Dnepropetrovsk e foi promovido para engenheiro avançado.

Leonid Brejnev se tornou chefe de partido em Dnepropetrovsk e se tornou um grande amigo de Tikhonov. Entrou para o PCUS em 1940, tornou-se diretor de usina na Ucrânia no fim dos anos 40, e se tornou um oficial no ministério de metalurgia nos anos 50 tornando-se deputado em 1955. Em 1960, Tikhonov torna-se membro do conselho científico e econômico do estado.

Em 1961 foi candidato ao Comitê Central do Partido Comunista.

Brejnev tornou-se secretário-geral do partido (um dos três maiores cargos na URSS) em 1964, e promoveu Tikhonov para Deputado Chefe do Conselho de ministros soviéticos. Depois de 2 de setembro de 1976, Tikhonov foi um dos dois "Primeiros Chefes dos Deputados".

Tikhonov também cresceu na pontuação do partido: Em 1966, no XXIII congresso do partido elegeu Tikhonov um membro supremo do comitê central e em 1979 tornou-se membro supremo do Politburo.

Em 23 de outubro de 1980, aos 75 anos, tornou-se chefe do conselho de ministros, cargo que exerceu até 27 de setembro de 1985. Tikhonov teve seu posto durante a gestão de Iuri Andropov e Konstantin Chernenko.

Em 1984, apoiou Mikhail Gorbachev para secretário-geral, cargo que Gorbachev exerceria a partir do ano seguinte.

Pouco depois, em setembro, Tikhonov foi substituído. Em outubro de 1985 ele foi removido do Politburo mas continuou no Comitê Central do partido até 1989. Em uma carta datada de 1989 para Gorbachev, Tikhonov comentou que retomava seu apoio.

Tikhonov foi o Chefe do Comitê de paz soviético, nos anos 1949-1979.

A federal appeals court Friday handed down a decision that went against the FCC, concerning the agency's attempt to bar resellers of telecom service for the poor, from receiving government subsidies in tribal areas.
Since 1985, eligible low-income consumers may receive a monthly discount of $9.25 on qualifying services, and since 2000, low-income consumers living on tribal lands could receive an additional $25 per month for these services through the Tribal Lifeline program. The program recognizes the additional hurdles to build-out affordable telecommunications service on tribal lands.
In 2017, however, the Commission adopted two limitations that tribes and several small carriers challenged: The FCC limited the enhanced Tribal Lifeline subsidy to services provided by eligible telecommunications carriers that use their own fixed or mobile wireless facilities. That would exclude carriers that resell services provided over other carriers' facilities. The agency also limited the enhanced Tribal Lifeline subsidy to residents of "rural" areas on tribal lands, saying it wasn't needed for urban areas. At the time, the agency said it was important to limit waste, fraud and abuse in the Lifeline program.
The changes were supposed to become effective in 2018, however the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stayed them, pending appeal. The case was argued this fall. Friday, the court granted the petition for review from the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe and intervenor Oceti Sakowin Tribal Utility Authority. Several small carriers and the non-profit National Lifeline Association were also plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
By 2015, approximately two-thirds of eligible low income consumers on tribal lands relied on non-facilities based providers for their Lifeline services, according to the court. The court said the FCC's decision was "arbitrary and capricious," and the Commission offered no evidence that facilities-based providers will make up the gap in services when non-facilities-based providers are ineligible to receive the enhanced tribal subsidy. The agency also didn't prove that banning resellers would promote network buildout, the court said in its decision.
"The Commission ignored that its decision is a fundamental change that adversely affects the access and affordability of service for residents of Tribal lands," the court said in its 27-page decision. The court on Friday vacated the 2017 Lifeline Order, (32 FCC Rcd. at 10,522–23,) and remanded the matter back to the FCC for a new notice and comment rulemaking proceeding. Comments? Email Us.

Suspect In Fourth Of July Shooting Charged With 7 Counts of Murder
Suspect arrested for mass shooting at parade

A suspect from the fourth of July parade mass shooting has been charged with seven counts of murder.
On Tuesday, Robert E. Crimo III, the man suspected of carrying out the mass shooting that killed at least seven people in Highland Park, Illinois, was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.
Lake County state's attorney Eric F. Rinehart told reporters that the 21-year-old will likely face "many" additional charges for the "premeditated and calculated attack." Authorities say that more than 70 bullets were fired from a roofto, injuring dozens of people who tried to flee the hail of gunfire as the parade got underway.

Crimo was arrested on Monday evening and remains in custody. He has spoken with investigators but they have not identified a motive for the shooting. He was arraigned in court on Wednesday, where he was denied bail. At the hearing, Assistant State Attorney Ben Dillon said Crimo "provided a voluntary statement to investigators confessing to his actions." If convicted of the murder charges, Rinehart said Crimo would face a mandatory sentence of life without parole.
Chris Covelli, a spokesperson for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, said that one of Crimo's family members called the police in September of 2019 to report that Crimo had a stash of knives and had threatened to kill people. Covelli said officers removed 16 knives from Crimo's possession, but added that there was no probable cause for arrest at the time.
In a statement on Tuesday, Illinois State Police said that it received a "clear and present danger report" in connection with the incident, which the agency said involved threats he made against his family. But, police said, "no one, including family, was willing to move forward on a complaint nor did they subsequently provide information on threats or mental health that would have allowed law enforcement to take additional action." Because of this, no firearms restraining order was ever filed against Crimo.
This photo released by the Lake County Major Crime Task Force is said to be of Robert E. Crimo III dressed in women's clothing.
Following the attack on Monday, Covelli said that Crimo disguised himself in women's clothing "to conceal his facial tattoos and his identity and help him during the escape with other people who were fleeing the chaos." He then walked to his mother's house where he borrowed her car. Police found and apprehended him after an individual who saw the vehicle called 911.
Investigators on the case determined that after the attack the suspect drove to Madison, Wisconsin, where he threw out his phone. While there, e saw another celebration happening and "seriously contemplated using the firearm he had in his vehicle to commit another shooting in Madison" said Covelli. But instead, he drove back to Illinois because "there were indications that he didn't put enough planning forward to commit another attack."
Many people have reacted to the incident on social media. In a Facebook post, Mayr Nancy Rotering called it "the bloodiest day that we have ever experienced in Highland Park" and said flags would be flown at half-mast.

Look younger, thinner and sexier starting now! One mistake guys make very often is to trim their neckline too high, usually matching the arc of their jaw. A strong and chiselled jawline exudes masculinity and it flatters any face. This is good—it means your muscles are growing. Consider growing a beard if you lack a strong jawline.
Curl your chin to your chest and lift your head off the ground a couple inches while keeping the rest of your body still. Feel your chin muscles stretching. Not only are there facial exercises you can perform to help define your jaw there are factors to take into consideration and implement. Eventually, the sap will get crushed together and form a really dense, thick rubber-like substance. Press down with your fingers to provide some resistance.

If you have Amazon Prime, it should get there in two days. Be sure to drink enough water! Notice how your neck skin smooths out and looks tighter? Give it Time Be patient. The more you use them, like any muscle, the stronger they will get. Hold this pose for ten seconds and relax. If you can't see your facial features, you're either too fat or you're too bloated.

Sterley Stanley elected to State Assembly in 18th district by wide margin
East Brunswick councilman will replace Pinkin, becomes the first South Asian legislator from Middlesex County
By David Wildstein, January 12 2021 7:09 pm
Sterley Stanley won a special election tonight for State Assembly in the 18th district, capturing the seat left vacant this month after Nancy Pinkin (D-East Brunswick) resigned to become the new Middlesex County Clerk.
He defeated Edison Councilman Joseph Coyle by a vote of 184 to 135 — a 58%-42% margin. There are 8 provisional ballots still uncounted.
Stanley, a two-term East Brunswick councilman, becomes the first South Asian to represent Middlesex in the New Jersey Legislature.
The 18th has the highest percentage of Asian Americans of any legislative district in the state.
It's not immediately clear when Stanley will take office. The Assembly does not have a quorum call scheduled until January 27, although Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin could adjust that schedule.
Stanley will fill the remainder of Pinkin's current two year term, which expires in January 2022.
He will need to win the support of the Middlesex Democratic convention this year to have organization support to run in November for a full two-year term.
The seat in safe Democratic. Republicans have not won an Assembly race in the 18th since 1993, although the Senate seat was held by a Republican until the 2001 election.
The 54-year-old Stanley was re-elected to his East Brunswick council seat by 5,137 votes in 2020 against Republican Suzanne Blum. He served as council president until this year.
East Brunswick Democrats will appoint an interim councilman to replace Stanley. The seat will be up for grabs in a November 2021 special election to fill the remainder of his term.
Stanley had expected him to face a different Edison councilman, Ajay Patil. But a scandal that went public in November allegedly implicating him in a conspiracy involving a racist campaign flyer in a 2017 school board election essentially ended his hopes to win an Assembly race.
Coyle, who had been viewed as a potential mayoral candidate this year, entered the race after being passed over for council president and then not retaining his council vice president post.
He had the backing of Edison Democratic Municipal Chairman Mahesh Bhagia, also a likely challenger to Mayor Thomas Lankey in the Democratic primary. Bhagia's brother, Raj, is one of the Edison Eight.
The decision to back Coyle put Bhagia in a precarious position of backing a white candidate for Assembly despite calls by the South Asian community for representation in the legislature.
In March, Stanley tested positive for coronavirus and recovered after 21 days of running a high fever.
In addition to East Brunswick and Edison, the district includes Helmetta, Highland Park, Metuchen, South Plainfield and South River – all Middlesex municipalities.

Good British berry year
This video from the USA says about itself:
North America and in particular Maine are home to wild blueberries.
This short video shows how the blueberries are harvested and frozen. It also talks about the current and past harvests, as well as the possible health benefits from eating blueberries.
From Wildlife Extra:
Bumper year predicted for autumn berries in UK
Woodland Trust predicts 2013 will be a bumper year for fruiting autumn berries and reveals that last year's crop was the worst in over a decade, according to scientific records.
August 2013. Early indications from data collected by the public for the Woodland Trust's Nature's Calendar project suggest that autumn will be late this year, but that the glorious weather in early summer will mean autumn wild fruit crops will flourish, having a positive impact on the UK's native plant and wildlife species.
2012 was 'exceptionally poor'
2012's extremely wet conditions during the summer resulted in late leaf tints, late fruiting and exceptionally poor crops of wild fruit. In fact, last year's Nature's Calendar records displayed the lowest fruiting scores since the Trust started collecting records 12 years ago, for 14 of the 16 tree and shrubs species recorded by the project's volunteers. The Trust is urging the public to record their sightings of this year's early autumn sightings on its Nature's Calendar website.
Dr Kate Lewthwaite, Nature's Calendar Project Manager, said: "Although our records suggest that autumn fruiting will be late this year due to the delayed onset of spring flowering , if the warm weather interspersed with occasional wet spells continues, this should mean the fruiting of shrubs like bramble, rowan and blackthorn, is abundant.
Boost for birds and mammals
"Wildlife species will no doubt benefit from a bumper crop, and finally fruit-eating birds and mammals will be able to enjoy an autumn feast. Last year, birds and mammals suffered some of the poorest fruiting crop in years and this, coupled with the prolonged cold snap in spring, meant that many species had to endure a long period without a decent food supply.
She continued: "In order to better understand the impacts of long-term changing climate on some of the UK's most-loved native species, we need the public to record their autumn sightings on our Nature's Calendar website."
The charity's Nature's Calendar project, which has phenology records dating back to the 17th century, allows people to record signs of spring as well as autumn by noting sightings such as fruit ripening, ivy flowering and leaf colouring. The records compiled by the public are used by government and scientists to aid the understanding of how flora and fauna is adapting to the changing environment.
More records needed
The Trust is urgently calling for more citizen science recorders. Crucially, the number of Nature's Calendar recorders is falling year upon year and the charity needs to maintain a network of recorders in all parts of the UK to help maintain the scientific integrity of the data. Anyone can become a Nature's Calendar recorder and make a real and valuable contribution to citizen science and the long-term studies into the impact of climate change on wildlife by visiting www.naturescalendar.org.uk.

Geoff Mott and the Mottoes  fue el nombre de la primera banda de Syd Barrett, formada hacia mediados de 1961 por Geoff Mott en voz, Nobby Clark y Syd Barrett en guitarras y la base rítmica de Tony Sainty y Clive Wellham en bajo y batería, respectivamente.

La banda practicaba un Rhythm & Blues típicamente inglés de principios de la década de los 60 y su repertorio estaba basado en covers. The Mottoes fue una banda de corta vida que no llegó a grabar ni dejar marca en el mundo del rock, apenas una anécdota de haber sido una de las bandas previas a la formación de Pink Floyd.

Cuando The Mottoes se separó, cada uno de sus integrantes corrió por su lado. Geoff Mott se unió como cantante a una banda llamada Boston Crabs, luego del cual no se volvió a saber de él. Nobby Clark se retiró de la música. Tony Sainty y Clive Wellham pasaron a ser parte de The Ramblers en 1962, banda integrada por John Latham (voz) y Jon Gordon y David Gilmour (guitarras). Syd Barrett continuó tocando en otras bandas de la zona de Cambridge: The Hollering Blues en 1962 y en 1963 en Those Without. Ambas bandas de corta vida y poca trascendencia.

How do you move forward after being hit with traumatic news that triggers your survival instincts because it is WAY too close to home?
For many of us, the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual shock can take a toll on our sweet system.
How do you know when trauma is showing up in your being?
If you are experiencing the shock of witnessing trauma – whether it be through watching the news, seeing it happen to someone else, or having it happen to yourself – not only are you feeling some (or all) of the above symptoms, but you will likely feel unsafe, as well.
Any time we perceive our survival as being threatened, our Root Chakra feels like it's under attack.
In Chinese Medicine, fear is linked to the Kidneys, and when we feel fear, Kidney Qi is depleted. Aside from fear, this will also look like: paranoia, a sense of floating, feeling deeply drained, memory and concentration problems, or lacking will power, calm, and strength.
So, what can you do when you feel like you've just had the wind knocked out of you (either literally or emotionally), when it feels like your center and sense of self has shattered, or when your essence feels like it's under attack?
Send love to the pain that you see. Does it sound counterintuitive to send love to the person who caused you pain? Reframe this by understanding that the person who caused you pain is actually IN pain. It does not condone their actions, but doing this will help you develop compassionate towards what created the situation at hand. Sending love to the person will diffuse their power over you, create healing for your heart, help those you send it to, and interrupt the cycle of pain with love, which quickly shifts the dynamic. And, as you know, shifting the energy towards healing creates a ripple effect for everyone. This also holds true if you are the one directly causing yourself pain – send love to yourself. If it is a story on the news that you are watching, send love to those you see on the screen. If it is an article you are reading, send love to those involved in the story.
Access the support of your community (or find it). It may be tempting to just curl up into a ball in the corner (which does have its merits, for a certain length of time). But, after you've finished licking your wounds, and when your heart is starting to feel lonely in the pain, reach out to your community, because being with community when you are all witnessing the same thing is healing. If you don't have a community, ask the Universe to help you find a community that is for your greatest good, and then start looking for it. If time is more immediate, or if you need connection but feel overwhelmed with being around loads of people, one-on-one healing through a compassionate therapist, healing practitioner, mentor, friend, or loved one can work wonders.
Learn how to verbally defend yourself. Part of feeling powerful is knowing that we possess knowledge to help ourselves in sketchy situations, even if you rarely (or hopefully, never) have to use it. Learn how to say "No!" from your Dan Tien, which is the Sea of Vitality in Chinese Medicine, located about 2″ below the navel. This is also the area of the Sacral Plexus Chakra. The Sacral Plexus Chakra, (which is the seat of our emotions and linked to creative expression) and Throat Chakra (which is how we speak our truth) are very closely linked. Because of this, cultivating your authenticity when speaking will help you when you need it most. For instance, speaking up for yourself in situations where you are not feeling honored, saying "No" when you mean "No", and saying how you truly feel instead of creating a smokescreen around it. By saying what you mean, and meaning what you say, you train yourself to create habits of self-expression that will sustain your voice. So, when it comes time to verbally defend yourself, speaking up against things that go against your being will come naturally. It's the same concept as when training with external martial arts – practicing not because you are looking for a fight, but so that if ever the time comes, the skills you've honed will protect you.
Learn martial arts. Speaking of verbally defending yourself, taking up (external) martial arts will help you be more aware of your body, know where your physical strengths (and weaknesses) lie, and help you feel more equipped to handle yourself effectively, should a situation escalate. A true martial artist knows to use their skill only when they REALLY have to (vs. showing off, which is more related to satisfying the ego.) Why? Because, although there may be nuances to developing your physical power, when you have to use it, it's because you have no choice but to follow through.
Get physically strong. By physically strengthening yourself, not only will your muscles engage in ways that encourage optimal blood flow, heart health, easier digestion, move Liver Qi (believe me, Liver Qi is something you DEFINITELY want to move when you're stressed), help you de-stress by activating endorphins and releasing toxins out of the muscles, and help you feel better on all levels, but it will also help you feel productive towards dealing with the painful emotions and how they are manifesting.
Practice grounding techniques. Grounding your energy is important when you're moving through trauma, because it will root you when your Mind and Spirit are overwhelmed, and begin to float elsewhere. It will also remind you of your being at its original level, rather than getting caught up in the mental anguish and misrepresentations your ego may be doling up.
Include adaptogens in your diet. Adaptogens are healing foods that help balance, restore, and protect the body. Including them in your diet helps you feel less stressed. Some of my favorites include: Red Maca Root (I prefer the powder form), Astragalus Root (known as Huang Qi in Chinese Medicine), Ashwaganda, Panax Ginseng (known as Ren Shen in Chinese Medicine), and Schisandra (known as Wu Wei Zi in Chinese Medicine).
Use crystal allies and soul-healing essential oils. Using crystals imbued with the imprint of love can be helpful during times like these (however, make sure you clear them first!) Check out my post, "Crystal Work: How To Use Your Crystals" to learn how to best use them for healing. In addition to crystals that heal the Heart Chakra with love, use grounding crystals that your Root Chakra will love, such as Red Jasper, Hematite, Petrified Wood, Black Obsidian, Bloodstone, Black Tourmaline, and Boji Stones. You can also use specific crystals to help you get to sleep at night, if you're dealing with insomnia. There are many essential oils that heal the soul. Geranium gently heals your heart with a loving energy, Patchouli will help you feel more grounded, and Frankincense clears your chakras altogether. Anoint yourself when you get out of bed in the morning, before you go to sleep, and as needed during the day for healing support.
Clear and protect your energy. When you are feeling vulnerable, it can leave your energy field open, too. Sometimes, too open, allowing other peoples' energies into your system. The reason why this is not helpful is because while some people may vibrate highly, others may vibrate more densely. And, if you end up sharing company with those who are not in light, you will erroneously identify their energy as your own, leaving you in a worse state than when you began! In addition, you leave yourself open for psychic vampires who could gleefully leech your remaining precious energy away. The way to address this energy override is to take control of it. You do this by clearing your energy and protecting it.
Be selective of where you invest your energy. When we need to regain stability in our lives, the last thing we need to be doing is spreading ourselves too thin. Overcommitting ourselves with appointments, events, meetings, and tasks during a time like this is a recipe for disaster and burnout! Do only what you need to do, and leave the rest for when you are feeling stronger. Being selective with where you put your energy also extends to spending time with the right people. If you spend time with people with negative mindsets and lower vibrations, your energy will drain immediately. Conversely, if you surround yourself with supportive and nourishing company, your Qi will benefit immensely!
What are your favorite ways to stabilize your Body, Mind, Spirit, and Heart when you are feeling destabilized?
Love this article as I practice many of your suggestions. You are a wise and gentle Soul. In gratitude.
So glad you love this article! Why am I not surprised that you already practice many of points, above? Thank you for your kind words.

An ode to trendy Italian delicacies
in Italian Cuisine
BENGALURU: Italian meals are synonymous with cheese and Bolognese, alongside fanciful plating complete of fresh flavors. But a number of them remain unknown and calls for one to mission out more into the conventional delicacies of Italy. Joining arms with Chef Brian, Executive Chef at JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa, head Chef Eliyaz of JW Marriott lodge Bengaluru, MG Road, has set The Four-Hand Collaboration rolling and brings to the desk a 4-route meal particularly curated to provide a cutting-edge contact to the cuisine. Our dinner started with Pan-Seared Duck Liver Foie Fras and Father Michael's Buratta, seasonal mango for the vegetarians.
The luxurious food product had been tended to with sticky date pudding and raisin jus, whilst the latter, with its percentage of rocket leaf and parmesan cheese, turned into a progressive dish to gorge on. We went "mmm" even as digging into the Roast Chicken and Parmesan Broth in unison. Being the superstar of the nighttime, the parmesan foam sat pretty on the pinnacle of the roast hen, and the warm broth, which felt a touch too salty, became combined with cilantro and taken out a soothing flavor.
Next up changed into the Sous-Vide Duck Breast with sauteed potato gnocchi, leek confit, grappa bitter cherry duck jus. For vegetarians, it changed into a cheerful mixture of chunky beet mash and vegetarian jus, known as the Root vegetable lawn. Although I'm no longer keen on duck meat and the flesh felt instead chewy rather than my choice of smooth meat, others on the desk loved the texture and the specific 'under strain technique used in making ready the dish.
Along with the accompaniments at the plate, it summed up for a heavy, pleasant primary path. Coming to the stop of the meal, the dessert covered Five-spiced Panna Cotta or Beets and Goat Cheese Sorbet, from which I selected the first one, and wasn't disenchanted at all. It was plated in a cylindrical shape, adorned with vanilla poached pears and olive caramel. It was soft, clean, and appealing to the flavor buds.
The Italian menu is on until July 25. The cost for two is Rs three 000 (approx). When one thinks of their favorite cuisine, the top choices that would probably come to mind would be Italian, Japanese, American, and Asian cuisine. These are the major and most popular cuisines, and they can be found in almost every country. While each country will have its own take or its own interpretation of the dishes, nothing beats authentic recipes. Italian cuisine is known all over the world and is enjoyed by people of all ages. While the kids love spaghetti, adults are enjoying serving after serving of ravioli and smooth Italian wine. The history of Italian cuisine is as colorful and rich as its flavor. One cannot have pasta and wine and not call it Italian cuisine – it is as distinctive and as popular as its origin.
Italian cuisine is considered one of the oldest cuisines in the world. The current Italian menus and recipes have their roots in Roman and Greek cuisine. When tomatoes were initially grown in France, people began cooking up salsa de Pomodoro. The recipe for Pomodoro sauce nowadays is still almost exactly like the Pomodoro sauce of the old years. The Italian pasta and noodles are believed to have been adapted by Italian merchants upon their travel to Asia. The locals' travels to the Far East have introduced the use of spices and herbs to Italian cooking.
