Colfax Reports First Quarter 2020 Results
• Reported $0.06 EPS from continuing operations and achieved $0.38 of adjusted EPS
• Sustained strong momentum in the first two months of the year
• Quickly implemented aggressive actions to address COVID-19 risks and impacts
• Amended credit agreement to provide ample liquidity and increased flexibility
ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, MD, May 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX), a leading diversified technology company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2020.
The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $8 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the quarter, compared to a loss of $0.17 in the prior year quarter. On an adjusted basis, earnings of $0.38 per diluted share rose 2.7% from $0.37 in the prior year period. Adjustments to reported earnings are included in the reconciliation schedules provided.
Colfax reported net sales of $816 million, 19.4% higher than the previous year's quarter due to the current year including a full quarter from DJO, partly offset by COVID-19-related demand reductions. On an organic basis, Colfax pro forma sales decreased 1.4% including approximately 4-5% benefit from extra selling days. Medical Technology segment pro forma sales increased 0.3% on an organic basis versus the prior year period, and the Fabrication Technology segment sales declined 6.2% on a reported basis and 2.2% organically versus the prior year period.
The Company also reported first quarter adjusted EBITA of $95.5 million or 11.7% of sales. The Fabrication Technology segment improved its adjusted EBITA margins by 70 basis points over the prior year first quarter to 14.8%, and the Medical Technology segment reported adjusted EBITA margins of 10.6%.
"Our strong momentum from 2019 continued for the first two months of 2020 with accelerating growth and margin expansion," said Matt Trerotola, Colfax President and CEO. "As COVID-19 began impacting our business, we took quick actions to protect our associates while continuing to serve customers with essential products in a lower demand environment. We also implemented a program to reduce our second quarter spending by $80-90 million, which includes temporarily reducing salaries, implementing furloughs, lowering discretionary spending, and deferring other spending."
"We are also contributing to the global fight against COVID-19 by providing products and solutions to directly help our customers," commented Mr. Trerotola. "DJO's MotionMD Telehealth solution ensures that products are delivered to patients remotely, helping to provide a virtual continuum of care during this time when many healthcare facilities are closed. We are also producing masks and hand sanitizer to help address current shortages. Within ESAB, our GCE Healthcare business increased production levels to meet demand of our medical gas controlling products to support healthcare systems during this challenging period."
The Company finished the first quarter with $366 million of cash and access to $917 million of capacity under its credit agreement and other facilities. Colfax recently amended its credit agreement to provide for additional covenant flexibility as it addresses temporarily reduced customer demand levels. The Company believes it has ample liquidity and expects to complete 2020 without taking on new debt. In addition to spending reductions, the Company is reducing pricing and purchases from suppliers, re-phasing capital expenditures, and accelerating working capital process improvements to reduce overall cash outlays, including spending reductions, by over $100 million in Q2.
"Colfax's Medical Technology business remains exposed to favorable long-term trends of aging and expanded access to healthcare, and our Fabrication Technology business has a diversified set of applications and superior exposure to higher-growth emerging markets," commented Mr. Trerotola. "In the shorter-term, we are flexing our spending and using CBS processes and tools to address temporarily lower customer demand levels and deliver positive cash flow. We are protecting our ability to regain our momentum as the crisis abates. Our commitment to innovation is unchanged, our teams are staying close to customers, and our operations teams are ready to respond as demand improves."
Due to the evolving and uncertain impact, scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is withdrawing its previously communicated 2020 financial guidance and plans to discuss revenue trends in its call with investors later today.
Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss these results beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern today, which will be open to the public by calling +1-877-303-7908 (U.S. callers) and +1-678-373-0875 and referencing the conference ID number 1898585 and through webcast via Colfax's website www.colfaxcorp.com under the "Investors" section. Access to a supplemental slide presentation can also be found at the Colfax website under the same heading. Both the audio of this call and the slide presentation will be archived on the website later today and will be available until the next quarterly call.
About Colfax Corporation
Colfax Corporation is a leading diversified technology company that provides orthopedic and fabrication technology products and services to customers around the world, principally under the DJO and ESAB brands. Colfax believes that its brands are among the most highly recognized in each of the markets that it serves. The Company uses its Colfax Business System ("CBS"), a comprehensive set of tools, processes and values, to create superior value for customers, shareholders and associates. Colfax's common stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker "CFX."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments
Colfax has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("non-GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization), adjusted EBITA margin and organic sales growth. Colfax also provides adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITA margin on a segment basis.
Adjusted net income represents net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding restructuring and other related charges, debt extinguishment charges, acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges, and strategic transaction costs.
Adjusted EBITA represents net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges, and strategic transaction costs, as well as income tax expense (benefit) and interest expense, net. Colfax presents adjusted EBITA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as adjusted EBITA. Further, Colfax presents adjusted EBITA (and adjusted EBITA margin) on a segment basis, where we exclude the impact of strategic transaction costs and acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges from segment operating income.
Core or organic sales growth (decline) excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Additionally, pro forma organic sales percentage increase (decrease) is calculated using the corresponding prior year sales amounts, assuming that the acquisition of DJO had taken place on January 1, 2019.
These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity improvements of the Company. Colfax management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Brittany's softball career started off in Chatsworth, CA. While attending Chaminade College Preparatory, she played basketball and softball. It wasn't until her sophomore year, when the Eagles softball team won their first C.I.F championship of two consecutive years, that she truly developed her love for the game. The strategy involved and the different dynamics of each position are some of the reasons why she fell in love with the sport, but nothing compared to the camaraderie and relationships she built with her teammates, the Zymkowitz's family, and her coaches (Coach Ellinghouse, Coach Gina Hairapetian, and Coach Jackson).
The skills Brittany developed at Chaminade allowed her to continue her career in softball at the University of Kentucky. While pursuing a degree in Broadcast Journalism, she was able to play softball at the highest level in the Southeastern Conference. During her time as a Wildcat, Brittany played catcher and third base. She earned three weekly SEC honors and ranks first all-time in runs batted and home runs, a record she still holds.
In 2011, she hit 15 home runs, the second most homers ever hit in a season at UK and scored 55 runs – the most in single-season history. The team reached the Super Regionals in the NCAA Division I Softball Championships for the first time in university history. In 2012, Brittany was named to the All-SEC First Team and SEC All-Defensive Team in 2012. She batted a team best .357 with 11 home runs and 23 RBI; she ranked among the top in the SEC with batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, RBI, home runs and walks, and led the league in total bases.
After graduating, Brittany's exceptional performance as a Wildcat provided her the opportunity to play in the National Professional Fastpitch league starting in 2012 with the Chicago Bandits. She played for the Bandits for 4 years. In 2014 she was named to her first All-NPF Team and the Worth Home Run Award Winner. In 2015, she was instrumental in leading the Bandits to victory in the Cowles Cup Championship. Brittany was again named to the All-NPF Team and awarded NPF Offensive player of the Year. In 2016, she led the Bandits to another Cowles' Cup Championship victory and was named Cowles Cup MVP.
In January 2017, Brittany signed with the Scrap Yard Dawgs in Conroe, Texas. She helped lead the team to victory for her third consecutive year at the Cowles' Cup Championship. Brittany has also played softball abroad. She traveled to Tokyo, Japan, with the Chicago Bandits and will play in Italy this coming summer. She also served as volunteer assistant coach at University of Kentucky in 2013 and was an assistant coach at Loyola University Chicago.
When she's not on the softball field Brittany participates in charity work. Most recently, she was a top fundraiser for Team #TracyStrong in the Lung Force Foundation annual Lung Force Walk.

Goldman Sachs Now Offers High Net Worth Investors Access to Bitcoin and Ethereum
A filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission this week shows that Goldman will expand its crypto offering to include Ethereum for large investors.
SEC filings show that Goldman Sachs will provide access to Ethereum to its largest investors with a minimum deposit of $250,000.
Last June, Goldman offered a Bitcoin futures vehicle to top clients.
Nothing in the documents suggests that such offers are in the works for ordinary investors seeking access to crypto.
According to public filings this week with the SEC, Goldman Sachs plans to offer its largest banking customers access to Ethereum's Ethereum (ETH) digital coin through a third-party issuance of Galaxy Digital.
This is not the first foray into cryptocurrency investment offerings for Goldman. Last June, the investment banking firm also partnered with Galaxy Digital to launch and manage Goldman's Bitcoin futures offering.
Details of Goldman's Ethereum investment option
According to the amended Form D filing, the "Galaxy Institutional Ethereum Fund" was launched in February 2021 with a minimum initial investment of $250,000, essentially limiting access to institutional players. The SEC filings further pointed out that 28 clients were registered with the fund at the time of the filing, with invested assets totaling more than $50 million.
While Goldman was not tied to Galaxy's ETH fund when it launched, the filing said Goldman would receive an undisclosed sum as a finder's fee for accounts it sends to Galaxy that sign up for the ETH fund. future, "Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will receive an introductory fee with respect to certain clients referred to the issuer; CAIS Capital LLC will receive certain placement fees with respect to clients referred to the issuer, each as disclosed to their affected customers," the filing reads.
While Galaxy Digital seems to have cracked the SEC code to offer cryptocurrencies to large customers, other efforts have not been so successful.
The SEC Has Been Picky About Allowing Consumer Access to Crypto
Last November, the SEC rejected a proposal by VanEck for a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) that would have held the actual crypto rather than just bitcoin futures. Submitted in March, the request was to buy Bitcoin directly from the "spot" market and hold it in an ETF that investors could then buy into.
Although the SEC authorized two ETFs based on Bitcoin futures to begin trading in October 2021, it would not authorize an ETF containing actual Bitcoin, citing in its 51-page report its frequent concerns about possible manipulation. and fraud, etc. in the crypto market. As a context, a futures-based ETF invests in indirect contracts to buy or sell an asset at a specified date in the future.
It will be interesting to see if this week's executive order from President Joe Biden that has tasked most federal agencies – including the SEC – with studying and ultimately implementing crypto regulations will relax or limit access to these types of investment options in the future for individual investors.

U.S.|Rival Unions Battle in Ohio Over Workers at Hospitals
Rival Unions Battle in Ohio Over Workers at Hospitals
By Steven Greenhouse
The Service Employees International Union was brimming with confidence about unionizing 8,300 workers at nine Ohio hospitals through elections that were scheduled for this Wednesday and Friday. But then organizers from a rival union, the California Nurses Association, swept into town, buttonholing workers and maneuvering their way into hospital wards, to press the workers to vote not to join the S.E.I.U.
Thrown off balance, the service employees union on Tuesday suddenly asked to postpone the vote by workers at the nine hospitals, all part of the Catholic Healthcare Partners system.
Andy Stern, the service employees' president, said the nurses association's efforts were "nothing more than a flimsy cover for out-and-out union busting that we normally see from employers, not organizations that claim to care about workers."
The California Nurses Association, an unusually militant union that is seeking to expand nationwide, said it dispatched organizers to Ohio because in its view the unionization efforts were part of a sweetheart deal.
Having seen many employers mount fierce campaigns against unionization, the service employees had reached an unusual deal with Catholic Healthcare Partners, to increase its chances of winning a unionization election. Catholic Healthcare and the union promised to campaign civilly and not mount angry all-out efforts against each other.
Rose Ann DeMoro, executive director of the nurses association, condemned this agreement. She called it "a rigged scam" in which the service employees union would bargain only half-heartedly if it won the vote.
"This was a top-down deal between an employer and a hand-picked union," Ms. DeMoro said. "There was a gag order on everyone, and as a result this was a banana republic election."
She said the decision to delay the election was "a significant victory for employee rights."
No new election date was set.
Service employee officials said the agreement sought to maximize the union's chances of winning a fair election in an era when unions are struggling to reverse decades of decline.
Dave Regan, president of a service employees' local representing 35,000 health care workers in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, called the nurses union's efforts immoral and despicable.
"Their conduct is indistinguishable from that of the most vicious anti-union employers," Mr. Regan said. "It violates every principle of unionism. Real people are worse off today as a result of their behavior."
He ridiculed the notion that the service employees were a hand-picked union. He said it took three years of negotiations, letter writing and protests by hundreds of workers to press Catholic Healthcare into agreeing to the election agreement. Those efforts came after the A.F.L.-C.I.O., the service employees and other unions urged several Roman Catholic bishops to press many Catholic hospitals to stop being so hostile toward unionization.
Responding to Ms. DeMoro's assertion that the union had entered a sweetheart deal in which it would bargain halfheartedly, Mr. Regan noted that after unionizing 550 nurses at a Catholic Healthcare hospital in Lorain, Ohio, the service employees staged two contentious strikes in an effort to obtain a contract.
Orest Holubec, spokesman for Catholic Healthcare, said the system's hospital in Lima had obtained a restraining order to bar the California nurses from entering restricted patient-care areas and aggressive leafletting outside hospitals.
"They were doing exactly the kind of things we were trying to avoid," Mr. Holubec said. "They poisoned the well to the degree that we didn't have the conditions that we tried to establish for a pressure-free environment."
The service employees union and the California Nurses Association both represent tens of thousands of nurses and have fought for years, with the nurses association arguing in Ohio and elsewhere that skilled workers like nurses should belong to nurses' unions and not to unions of diverse workers like the service employees.

Founded in 2012 in Macon, Georgia, Dovetail specializes in gourmet southern cuisine and has a farm to table philosophy. The restaurant has been featured in Southern Living Magazine and has received Opentable.com's "Diners' Choice Awards" for most booked restaurant in Macon. As part of the Moonhanger Group, Dovetail has several sister restaurants, the Rookery, H&H Soulfood, and the classically restored Cox Capitol Theatre.
The name Dovetail is indicative of its culinary style: a merging of traditional and modern takes on southern foods. Creating an experience that is reminiscent of any southern dinner table, Dovetail reimagines regional specialties in a rustic and sophisticated dining room that tips its hat to Georgia's agrarian history.
Dovetail's goal was to achieve 100 percent locally-sourced ingredients, an ambitious target in this industry. The restaurant's patrons loved the idea and encouraged the owner on his culinary quest to reinvent the menu.
"The community responded well and was on board with our new relationships and our continual exploration of local food partners," Chad Evans, Dovetail's owner, said. "Thursday's farm fresh offerings expanded into menu items, and we decided it was time to further the exploration by opening up a space where design and crafted ingredients came together in an inspired farm to table menu."
The menu changes weekly, in sync with the local bounty and Dovetail's relationships with the local farms. For starters, Evans highly recommends their 'put ups', which are rotating small jar samplings such as the smoky pimento cheese, homemade bacon marmalade, a corn andouille dip, and a butter pea hummus all served with locally baked bread.
One of their recent hit recipes is a sea scallop dish with a Japanese bourdon sauce served with the sticky Carolina gold rice and mustard greens and a radish salad with ginger vinaigrette. The cracked pie, the most photographed item in the Moonhanger Group outside the Rookery burger, is topped with a homemade salted caramel ice cream.
Dovetail's ambiance is characterized by elegance, spaciousness, simplicity, and clean lines. Industrial pendant lights hang over the rustic dinner tables, and handwoven rugs and linen drapes dress up the place. At Macon's classic cocktail bar, you will find a selection of over 70 distinctive whiskeys, lots of local brews, crafts, and imports. In fact, Dovetail offers one of the best by the glass selections in Macon.
"The room has rustic and nostalgic sentiments, but like the farm to table moniker, these words alone do not completely represent the Dovetail room and experience," Evans said. "It's a clean and welcoming design and décor, and the space invites an exciting anticipation of what is in going to happen next."

Are attitudes towards workplace pensions changing?
The millennial generation are putting pensions high up their list of workplace priorities, according to new research from Prudential.
It found that nearly six in 10 people in their first 10 years of work considered the quality of their current employer's pension scheme before deciding whether to take the job, and they will also assess any potential new employer's pension scheme before moving jobs in the future.
Nearly 40% of younger workers believe their retirement saving efforts are on track to help them match the living standards of today's pensioners when they give up work themselves.
However, 34% acknowledge rising living costs – and accept that the amounts they are saving today simply won't be enough to support a comfortable retirement.
Women more realistic
Millennial women are more realistic than their male colleagues about the challenges of matching the living standards of their retired grandparents in a world where the responsibility for pension provision continues to shift further away from employers and the Government and onto the individual.
Just under one in three of the women surveyed were confident their retirement income would match that of older generations, compared with more than half of men.
Many younger workers are considering making personal sacrifices to help fund a comfortable retirement – 31% say they will consider cutting back on spending for the next 10 years to focus on their pension and 30% are considering a move to a less-expensive part of the country.
Meanwhile, 29% think a consultation with a financial adviser could help to make sure they understand their savings and investments better.
Despite all the good intentions around saving and planning for their retirement, more than half of the younger generation of workers admit they are envious of the retirement plans and finances of those who have already given up work or are about to do so.
Kirsty Anderson, a retirement expert at Prudential, said: "It's a welcome surprise to see many younger workers thinking about planning and saving for their retirement.
"The success of automatic enrolment means that many of them will now be saving into pension schemes for the first time, but what these figures show is that they are going above and beyond the bare minimum required and setting aspirations to match their grandparents' quality of life when they give up work themselves.
"But favouring one employer's pension scheme over another and setting goals for their quality of life in retirement are only the first steps for younger pension savers.
"Pension saving is for the long-term and the members of the millennial generation who are most likely to be best placed when they retire will be the ones who have saved as much as possible into a pension for as long as possible in their working lives."

Q: JQuery - Removing a row of content using a plugin to confirm I have this markup:

            Date:

            <input type="text" class="datetimepickaa"  data-date-format="YYYY/MM/DD"  class="datetimepickaa" />

            Notes:
            <textarea class="form-control autosize" id="" name="">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</textarea>

        <button type="button" class="removee" >Delete</button>

I am using this JQuery code to remove a row of content when you click on the Delete button:
$("button.removee").click(function(){
    $(this).closest(".conteiner").remove();
});

I'd like to use this JQuery to ask for confirmation:
http://myclabs.github.io/jquery.confirm/
In the docs, it says we need to use the plugin like this:
$(".confirm").confirm({
    text: "Are you sure you want to delete that comment?",
    title: "Confirmation required",
    confirm: function(button) {
        // do something
    },
    cancel: function(button) {
        // do something
    },
    confirmButton: "Yes I am",
    cancelButton: "No",
    post: false
});

I'm trying to use the plugin mixed with my code for deleting:
$("button.removee").confirm({
    text: "Are you sure you want to delete this row?",
    title: "Confirmation required",
    confirm: function() {
        $(this).closest(".conteiner").remove();
    },
    cancel: function() {
        // do something
    },
    confirmButton: "Yes I am",
    cancelButton: "No",
    post: false
    });

In this line, (this) is no longer refering to $("button.removee"):
$(this).closest(".conteiner").remove();

So and it's not working. Do you have any clue on how to do that?
Thank's in advance!!

A: Not tested, but this might do the trick. Save the button instance for each button before triggering the confirmation box.
$(document).on("click", "button.removee", function()
{
    var btn = $(this);

    $(this).confirm({
        text: "Are you sure you want to delete this row?",
        title: "Confirmation required",
        confirm: function() {
            btn.closest(".conteiner").remove();
        },
        cancel: function() {
            // do something
        },
        confirmButton: "Yes I am",
        cancelButton: "No",
        post: false
    });
});

Edit: Updated answer to reflect changes needed to bind the events to dynamically added buttons.

A: Try using this code
$("button.removee").confirm({
text: "Are you sure you want to delete this row?",
title: "Confirmation required",
confirm: function() {
    $("button.removee").closest(".conteiner").remove();
},
cancel: function() {
    // do something
},
confirmButton: "Yes I am",
cancelButton: "No",
post: false
});

Report: Cavs Want Young Players and Picks in Any Kevin Love Trade
Home / Media / Tyronn Lue Delivers Ominous Message Following Team's Loss to Raptors
Tyronn Lue Delivers Ominous Message Following Team's Loss to Raptors
By Justin Benjamin
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't had the best week. After losing by 28 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, the Cavs got throttled by 34 points to the short-handed Toronto Raptors on Thursday.
If getting decimated in back-to-back games didn't irk the Cavs enough, head coach Tyronn Lue certainly provided the fire to make the team more urgent. After the blowout to the Raptors, Lue called out team for having agendas, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com:
"We've got to be better," Lue said. "We know that. But until we play better defensively, I think offensively sharing the basketball, everyone on the same page — and if guys have agendas, we've got to get rid of our agendas and play the right way."
When asked what he meant by "agendas," the 40-year-old declined to expand and declared that his statement meant "just what [he] said." It was an edgy comment for Lue to make, but a needed one after his team lost for the seventh time in the past 10 games. When the team's best player, LeBron James, heard the remark, the superstar couldn't understand if the comment was directed at him or not:
"I mean, I would hope not," James said after losing by more than 25 points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. "I don't [have an agenda]. At this point, three and a half, four years in this thing, I hope not. I don't know. I don't have one. I just want to win. I just like playing ball the right way, getting guys involved and winning the game also. I don't."
The losing direction could elicit changes for the Cavs, who appear to need some type of boost. Cavs reserve Channing Frye also commented on Lue's tense words and the reality of being dealt:
"This is a business," the veteran said. "Maybe it's meant to be a wake-up call. My bags have been half-packed since I got here. This is meant to be a championship group. We have to understand, if we're not helping move everything in a championship direction, there could be changes."
Although it would rough to see players go, any team with James comes down to championship or bust. The NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 8. Therefore, everyone should have their bags ready to go if they're not competing hard. Whether it's in the form of a trade or a response to Lue's comments, the pressure on the Cavs to snap of out of their funk is at an all-time high.

When we got there, there were already a couple of kids skating, notably an FBI agent. Not too long after we got there, the contest was under way.
K-Grind all the way across the box.
Luckily for everyone there, Red Bull came through once again with free smoothies, and Martin from Kona provided free Dominos pizza for everyone to enjoy. The crowd eventually got pretty thick, and once the contest got underway, the 20-dollar bills got handed out pretty quickly. I was pretty stoked to see Captain J do a fakie 50-50 to half cab manual on the box, myself.
I was glad to have the Red Bull crew on hand for the refreshment support. Here they are, in a %100 candid, not posed at all snapshot.
Ryan King hopped into the competition and got himself a 20. Pretty sure he did a tre flip to nose manual on the big box.
It was at this contest that Jayson Colon from the Board City team joined us. I'm just going to take a second to fan out here and say that this kid is a serious ripper, and he's got such a clean style it's unbelievable. Once things were wrapped up at Huffman park, we were off to Ed Austin Park in Arlington, just off Monument Road. Stay tuned for Part 3!
I have to admit, this 8103 gear coming out lately is looking pretty fresh. This is Jayson Colon.


Create a brush where you want the glass to be, using the nodraw texture. Like real glass, it should be very thin (No more than 3 units thick under normal circumstances).
Apply a nice-looking glass texture to one face (not on both sides). Make sure you use glass/glasswindowbreak070a. Don't use glass/glasswindowbreak070b. ALL OTHER FACES MUST BE tools/toolsnodraw! IF NOT, IT WILL NOT BE SPAWNED IN-GAME!
Go to the Material Type keyvalue and select Glass.
Optional: Add an env_cubemap to the surface of the glass texture.
Note:You can apply your texture to just one side of the brush entity by opening the Hammer Face Edit Dialog, ensuring the Mode is set to Select or Lift + Select, and clicking once in the 3D view on the face you want to apply the texture to. Then, select a material with either the drop down box or the browse button, and click apply.

How to Nourish and Heal Your Energy Body
Posted by admin on January 12, 2015 in Higher Consciousness, mastery consciousness, Personal Development, Personal Growth, Self Improvement, spiritual evolution, Spiritual Healing, Spirituality · 1 Comments
HJ: Science has now thoroughly proven the existence of an energy body and is beginning to understand what spiritual teachers and metaphysicists have long known — it is extremely important for your health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally-emotionally-spiritually. Just like you nourish your physical body with rest, proper diet, exercise and so on, your energy body, also known as your Aura, needs proper care. This is a profound, deep article going into much detail about this process. Enjoy.
Nourishing the Energy Body
By Jule Klotter | TLDP
Although many doctors and researchers have noted that emotion and belief systems play a part, perhaps a major part, in health and illness, Western medicine is just beginning to consider such non-physiological factors in the treatment of disease. Emotion, beliefs, and other non-physical qualities, such as creativity, intuition, and wisdom, originate in the dynamic chaos of the energy field, the aura, the vital life energy that surrounds and permeates each physical body. Each energy field constantly interacts with the fields of other living beings and with stimuli in the environment. Everything that affects the body must first pass through this field. Some of the information contained in the field enters our awareness via our senses, thoughts, or intuition. Much of the information, however, remains hidden, affecting the choices we make and our physiology. In her study of the human energy field, Dr. Valerie Hunt recorded brain waves, blood pressure changes, galvanic skin responses, heartbeat, and muscle contractions of subjects while aura readers observed changes in the energy field. Hunt states that changes occurred in the field before any of the other systems changes. (See Review, TLfDP #150, p. 124-26).
At the core of all matter lies energy, and the human body is no different. The energy body is a template for the physical body. Emotional energy resonates with life experiences, personal and professional relationships, and belief systems and becomes literally encoded in cell tissue. According to neurobiologist Candace Pert, emotionally-charged thoughts and experiences cause the body to manufacture different neuropeptides, chemicals triggered by emotions. Researchers at the Institute of HeartMath (Boulder, Colorado) found that heartful emotions (even emotions associated with memories) raise DHEA and IgA levels while negative emotions lower both. However we use our life energy, whether we use it to promote bitterness and fear or joy and love, manifests in our biology. Prolonged dissonance or weakness in the field leads to physical symptoms and, sometimes, to illness. Cure, without remission, depends upon relieving the disturbed energetics that underlie the physical condition. How does one address energetic factors that cannot be weighed, viewed under a microscope, or predicted? In this article, I hope to provide some guidelines or, at least, to stimulate an expanded view of health.
Many natural health techniques benefit the energy body as well as the physical one. Whole foods are rich with electromagnetic energy. Exercise, deep breathing, Qigong, Tai Chi, yoga, gardening, walking barefoot on earth, and prayer and meditation strengthen the energy field. Acupuncture, homeopathy, flower essences, deep muscle massage like Rolfing, Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, sound therapy, and other forms of energy medicine strive to address imbalances and blocks at the energy level of the body. These energy therapies can nudge an incoherent field into normalcy. Love, compassion, forgiveness are also powerful healing forces. Many doctors are aware that spiritual, mental, and emotional factors play a major role in illness and health; but, their training has emphasized the physical, and they often feel at a loss as to how to address the spirit.
Medical intuitive Caroline Myss (pronounced Mace), who has worked for many years with C. Norman Shealy, MD, teaches about non-physical factors that affect health and spirit. In her book Anatomy of the Spirit and in taped lectures, Myss discusses a framework for addressing spiritual needs and lessons that affect well-being. As I reviewed her work, I found guidelines for maintaining health of the energy body, just as natural medicine has basic principles for physical health.
Caroline Myss became a medical intuitive in January 1982, after a spontaneous out-of-body experience. She had never desired healing powers; this new ability was very much an unwelcome, although intriguing, gift that she preferred to keep hidden. Grand Design had other plans. When she moved to New Hampshire to start Stillpoint Publishing with two partners, word spread about the insights that popped into her head whenever she heard about someone who was ill. People began to ask her to use her intuition to assess their health. Myss was extremely uncomfortable with her new therapeutic role; she did not like the responsibility that accompanied it, and she worried about the reliability of this talent. "In those early days the impressions I received," she explains in Anatomy of the Spirit, "were mainly of a person's immediate physical health and the related emotional or psychological stress. But I could also see the energy surrounding that person's body. I saw it filled with information about that person's history."
In May 1984, C. Norman Shealy, MD, neurosurgeon, developer of TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device for pain relief), and founder of the American Holistic Medical Association, decided to test her. He called with a patient's name and age. Myss responded with images since she did not know physiology. Over the next year, Shealy called for more evaluations and helped her learn anatomy so that she could describe her perceptions with greater precision. Her years as an "apprentice intuitive" (1983-1989) and then as a professional intuitive, who worked with fifteen different physicians including Shealy and Christiane Northrup, taught her that no illness develops randomly.
Myss reviewed the intuitive assessments she had made over the years (primarily for adults), looking for emotional and psychological patterns among the various illnesses. Eventually, Myss presented these patterns in The Creation of Health (Stillpoint 1988), a book that she co-authored with Shealy (Reviewed inTLfDP #89, p.817+ & #125, p. 1260-62). These patterns give practitioners a place to start when trying to figure out the energetics of a patient's condition. For example, Myss says that chronic fatigue syndrome, energetically a disorder of the first chakra, affects people who feel very vulnerable and insecure. These people try to be all things to all people, and they connect to more people and projects than they have energy for. They finance too many people and/or projects with their energy, and the immune system weakens. The energetic component of cancer consists of unfinished or incomplete business. People with cancer tend to be more connected to the past than to the present. When energy is used to keep one's past alive instead of in the present where it is needed to maintain cell tissue, malignancy develops.
Wherever thought goes, energy and life force follow. Many of us are aware of energy circuits in the form of emotional ties and bonding to other human beings and to pets. We are less aware of how much energy we spend on past injuries, regrets, and losses. The thoughts that occupy one's mind indicate where energy is flowing. When thoughts contain an underlying fear of loss or over-identification with an object or person, energy is being lost. Being "hooked" on people or objects in a way that causes one to lose power means that "energy circuits are so thoroughly connected to the target that they no longer have the use of their own reasoning ability." (See Figure 1)
How do we disconnect our energy circuits from people or objects that sap energy? The first step is awareness. Check in often and notice where your thoughts are. Are they with you in the present, or have they drifted off to the past, the future, or with some person or object? Next, mentally cut the connection and literally call your spirit back. Calling one's spirit back is not a one-time event; it's a practice. (I speak from experience.) Counseling can be helpful for those struggling to let go of harmful attachments. Benefit from counseling can be enhanced by using flower essences, which work at the energy level to bring emotions and mental patterns to conscious awareness so that they can be released. "From an energy point of view, every choice that enhances our spirits strengthens our energy field; and the stronger our energy field, the fewer our connections to negative people and experiences," writes Myss. How do we know what enhances our spirits? Follow whatever intuitively feels good, has good "vibes," stirs up enthusiasm, and sends the soul, as Bernie Siegel says, "live messages." Illness can develop because a person is too negative – dwells on resentments, guilt, or burdensome thoughts to an extent that the negativity harms his/her biological well-being. Unless negative emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and/or negative use of one's personal power are released, energy dysfunction will continue; and, illness and physical symptoms are likely to recur. Not everyone who becomes sick is responding to too much negativity in his/her field. For some, illness signifies the beginning of a spiritual journey. It presents a challenge that will encourage them to develop and grow in spirit.
Although people often blame themselves for becoming ill, Myss does not believe that such blame is accurate or fair. Myss says we are beginning to get a vision of co-creating our reality; but, except for holy people like Sai Baba, we are not capable of that kind of control. Although we cannot control what happens to us, we can affect the quality of our response. Rather than blame oneself or dwell on "why me," both of which drain energy, the focus can be on what can be learned through this experience. How can I lighten my emotional life and enliven my soul? Many people who ultimately die from a disease find the journey to death a tremendously healing experience because of their attitude and the many opportunities to forgive, make amends, and release old patterns. Blame, even self-blame, depletes one's energy field. Forgiveness restores it.
Few pay as much attention to their energy as they do to physical needs and pains. Myss wrote her book Anatomy of the Spirit to encourage people to think of themselves as energy beings as well as physical ones. The energy body, or spirit, is primarily expressed through seven important chakras, energy centers, located near the central nervous system. Eastern medicine has long recognized the existence of chakras, which are located in joints, nerve ganglion, and endocrine glands, and of meridians, energy pathways that run along the body's surface.
Eastern spiritual tradition identifies each of the seven chakras with specific challenges that arise during the quest for spiritual consciousness. The first chakra, at the base of the spine, relates to the material world. The second chakra, just below the belly button, deals with creation energy, sexuality, work, and physical desire. The third chakra, at the solar plexus, holds lessons concerning the ego, personality, and self-esteem. The fourth chakra lies at the heart and contains lessons about forgiveness, compassion, and love. The fifth chakra, at the base of the throat, relates to the use of will and self-expression. The sixth chakra, or "third eye" in the center of the forehead, deals with wisdom, insight, and intuition. The lessons of the crown chakra at the top of the head concern spirituality.
After several years of conducting intuitive evaluations, Myss realized that she was unconsciously focusing on the seven main chakras. For some time, she puzzled over the chakras and Eastern spiritual tradition. If this path held truth for all humans, why didn't Western spiritual tradition have an equivalent? One day she wrote the seven chakras on a board for a workshop that she was teaching. Before her eyes, Myss saw the seven sacraments of the Catholic church float into place, corresponding to the seven chakras, soon joined by the ten sefirot of the Jewish Kabbalah or Tree of Life. These ten qualities have traditionally been organized into seven levels. Myss' unfamiliarity with the Islam tradition prevented her from including it in her book. Myss notes that "[w]hereas the sacraments and the chakras begin with the base as the number one and count upward, the ten sefirot begin with the number one at the top…and flows downwardÉthe qualities attributed to each of the seven levels are virtually identical." Learning to embody these qualities while facing life's challenges is the essence of the spiritual journey. Viewing illness and crises as a chance to exercise these spiritual truths brings a level of meaning to the experience that accelerates healing.
Myss says that, energetically, disease begins in the lower three chakras, the ones that deal with external power. Unresolved conflicts with one's family and/or tribe (any group to which one belongs that provides a feeling of security), feelings of vulnerability about survival and access to life necessities, and being ruled by what "they" say instead of remaining true to one's path, create discord in the first chakra. Anatomically, the first chakra relates to physical body support, the base of the spine, legs, bones, feet, rectum, and the immune system. The people developing the autoimmune disease AIDS, says Myss, are those who feel victimized by their society (homosexuals and drug addicts) or who have feelings of vulnerability about survival (the poor of Africa). Self-respect, a sense of personal honor, feeds strong positive energy to the root chakra, bones, legs, and immune system. The first chakra, also, asks us to honor the tribe/family we were born into – even if life's journey has pushed us to move on.
The second chakra gets disrupted by stifled creative energy, money and sexual conflicts, power struggles, life energy directed into dead-end relationships or jobs, and control tactics that do not follow the rule to "Honor One Another." This chakra holds instances of prostitution, rape, and incest, both the literal traumas and the more common energetic occurrences. Many men and women become aware, at some point in their lives, of remaining in a disempowering situation for money or physical security, prostituting their energy. We are less aware of the energetic equivalents of rape and incest that come in the form of verbal abuse and destructive, disempowering attitudes that we direct towards others or vice versa. "Rape and incest of an energy field," writes Myss, "are motivated by the desire to cripple a person's ability to be independent and thrive outside the control of another person."
Physical organs most affected by second chakra issues include sexual organs, large intestine, lower vertebrae, pelvis, appendix, bladder, and hip area. Fear of losing control and fear of power can eventually manifest as ailments such as chronic pain in the lower back and pelvic area, arthritis, prostate or ovarian cancer, impotency, and bladder problems. Learning to honor others, instead of trying to control or dominate them, eases much of the struggle held in the second chakra. "The spiritual challenge of the second chakra," says Myss, "is to learn to interact consciously with others: to form unions with people who support our development and to release relationships that handicap our growth."
The lesson of the third chakra is about self-responsibility and self-respect. This chakra houses both survival intuition, which warns of danger and negative action or energy coming from others, and self-esteem, without which intuitive guidance is ignored and discounted. Myss has found that depression often originates when people lose self-respect because they have broken a promise to themselves. Issues concerning self-responsibility, caring for oneself and others, self-esteem, fear of rejection, and an over-sensitivity to criticism eventually manifest as ailments in the abdomen, stomach, upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, and middle spine. Myss has also found that arthritis, anorexia, and bulimia often relate to third chakra issues. The third chakra demands that we honor ourselves and that we respect the everyday survival information we receive from our intuition.
Valerie Hunt refers to the third chakra as the emotional body, the area through which emotions located in the aura, such as fear and anger, enter the body. One of my many, favorite stories in Myss' Anatomy of the Spirit illustrates fear and the third chakra. When Myss met Ruth, the 75 year-old, Jewish woman was confined to a wheelchair because of arthritis. Ruth was 38 when her husband died, leaving her with two daughters to raise. Afraid of being alone and being responsible for herself, Ruth said that she did everything she could "to keep my daughters near me so I would never have to take care of myself." When her older daughter joined a Buddhist community at age 22, Ruth kept asking "After all I've given up for you, how could you do this to me?" Finally, in one such conversation, the daughter admitted, in response to Ruth's accusation, that she had tried drugs. On impulse, Ruth asked her daughter to get her some.
At age 55, Ruth took LSD and had an out-of-body experience, in which she met "a lovely being who said she was my angel. She complained to me, 'Ruthie, Ruthie, do you know how difficult it is to be your angel?'" Ruth saw a replica of herself bound with thousands of rubber bands; and, the angel told her that each rubber band was a fear that was controlling her: "You have so many fears that you can never hear me trying to talk to you, to tell you that I've got everything under control." The angel handed Ruth a pair of scissors and suggested that she free herself – which Ruth did with great delight. Before Ruth returned to her body, the angel let Ruth see the future in which she would be crippled with arthritis. "She couldn't tell me why I would have to endure this condition, just that I would have to. But she said she would be with me every step of the way," Ruth told Myss. "[A]fter that experience I never felt afraid again. I believe that my physical condition [which began about 10 years after the out-of-body experience] is a way to remind me never to have fear." In giving her condition meaning, Ruth turned a handicap into a source of inspiration.
The fourth chakra, the heart chakra, contains lessons about love, commitment, compassion, forgiveness and about hatred, resentment, bitterness, grief, anger, loneliness, and self-centerness. Holding onto the negative emotions, whether they are directed towards oneself or others, or intentionally causing pain for other people saps life energy from body and soul. Fear, also, drains and disrupts heart energy. Fear of loneliness, commitment, betrayal, fear of the inability to protect oneself emotionally, and of 'following one's heart' contribute to dysfunctions involving the heart and circulatory system, lungs, upper back, shoulders and arms, ribs, breasts, diaphragm, thymus gland. Tapping into the energy of love reduces fear. Love is a potent healing force for body and spirit, as many doctors recognize.
While heart energy resides at the fourth chakra, the mind and intellect come through the sixth chakra, located at the center of the forehead. Feelings of inadequacy, unwillingness to self-examine one's fears and shadows, and fear of truth contribute to physical dysfunctions involving the brain, nervous system, eyes, ears, nose, pineal gland, and pituitary gland. Myss says: "The energy pulsating from this chakra continually directs us to evaluate the truth and integrity of our beliefs. As we instinctively know from birth, to have faith in anything or in anyone that lacks integrity contaminates our spirits and our bodies."
The fifth chakra, positioned at the base of the throat, acts as a focal point for the heart energy of the fourth chakra and the mind energy of the sixth chakra. Its energy relates to willpower and the power of choice, the most basic manifestation of self-expression. Every area of our lives, including health and illness, is directly affected by the choices we make and how we make them. Clear decisions and true authority, as epitomized by King Solomon, come when the truth and wisdom of the sixth chakra is supported and in agreement with the emotional power of the heart chakra.
Before we make a choice, we often experience a contest, a struggle, between the emotional and mental sides of ourselves. That struggle disrupts the throat chakra. Prolonged disruption can manifest as physical dysfunctions that involve the throat, thyroid, trachea, neck vertebrae, mouth, teeth and gums, esophagus, parathyroid, and hypothalamus. Such disruptions also play a role in addiction. Without the balance and joined power of head and heart, the will lacks a leader to follow; so, it goes out in search of something to pledge its energy to, taking the form of an addiction. In her book, Myss writes: "The symbolic challenge of the Willpower chakra is to progress through the maturation of will: from the tribal perception that everyone and everything around you has authority over you; through the perception that you alone have authority over you; to the final perception, that true authority comes from aligning yourself to God's will."
The seventh chakra, at the crown of the head, relates to values, courage, humanitarianism, and the ability to see a larger pattern. It is the chakra of inspiration, spirituality and devotion, and the ability to trust life. Its lessons aim to teach us how to live in the present moment. According to Myss, energy therapies, such as reflexology, acupuncture, and homeopathy are treatments of present time. People whose energy is tied to the past do not receive much benefit from these therapies. They must first call their energy into the present by releasing the past through forgiveness of others, oneself, or an experience. Extreme sensitivities to light, sound, and other environmental factors, chronic exhaustion that is not linked to a physical disorder, and mystical depression that comes when one feels spiritually bereft signify disruptions in the crown chakra.
Caroline Myss' discussion of these seven chakras gives practitioners a thought-provoking format for working with non-physical issues that affect health. Integrity, honor, love, forgiveness, and right use of power fuel the energetic and physical body of all human beings, whether or not they respond to Eastern, Jewish, or Christian spirituality.
After years of doing energetic readings for others, Caroline Myss is now teaching individuals to use intuition to evaluate their own health. Intuition is not a special talent or gift. Everyone has gut-level, third chakra intuition, says Myss; it is a survival skill. Intuition is a spontaneous knowing that tells us to trust or distrust someone, to be cautious in a given situation or to "go for it!" Intuition is the means through which we know if we are happy or unhappy about something and if our energy is being fed, or if it is being drained. Accepting intuitive information and acting on it requires self-esteem and courage. Self- esteem, like intuition, corresponds to the third chakra. Honoring intuitive urgings in the smallest matters strengthens self-esteem and one's trust in the information, making it possible to follow intuitive guidance in more stressful situations.
Many factors can block intuition or distort its accuracy. People often discount intuitive guidance, burying the information beneath rationalization, disbelief, and fear. The information feels threatening when it conflicts with a person's belief system, tribal loyalties, or desire for a safe and happy future. Private agendas – the desire to see things in a certain way – interfere with the reception of energy information. Myss says that one of the biggest problems that people have in using intuition is the expectation that intuitive guidance comes loud and clear, as if some angel, standing next to a burning bush, will shout instructions to them. In reality, intuition comes as simple impulses and urgings: I like this, I don't like this, Yes, No. As agendas and desires for life to proceed in a desired, controllable way are released, perception and interpretation of intuitive hunches become clearer and more accurate.
Intuition often urges us to take a frightening leap of faith into the unknown. Fear and a desire for safe, non-threatening information keep many people from paying attention to valuable hunches. Intuitive advice does not guarantee a mistake-free, prosperous, love-filled, happily-ever-after life. It does, however, offer a means of learning what is true for you as an individual. Energy does not lie, but interpreting it accurately requires detachment from fear. Myss says: "Most people who come to me for an evaluation have already intuited themselves that something is wrong…. Their abilities are as accurate as mine; these people know they are ill. But since I do not share their fear, my intuitions can interpret their data better than they themselves can." Myss credits this quality of objectivity as being a primary reason behind Shealy's finding that her diagnoses were correct 93% of the time.
Medical self-diagnosis involves becoming familiar with a skill we already have. Medical intuition interprets how electromagnetic information contained in the energy field that surrounds the body is affecting a person's physical reality, including health. To check one's own energy field, Myss suggests focusing on each chakra with the question "Am I losing energy here?" If the answer is affirmative, the next question is "Why am I losing power?" Grab any image, thought, or impression that occurs. The trick is to examine these responses, rather than disregard them out of fear or because they don't fit a preconceived notion. Myss advises her students to regard themselves as information transmitting and receiving stations, reminding them that when it comes to energy, there are no secrets.
Why People Don't Heal
Myss' work as a medical intuitive has given her a unique perspective on the energetics of why people do not heal. Myss says that she used to think that everyone wanted to be healed. She no longer believes that: "Healing is very unattractive." Impediments to healing include living in the past, refusal to give up being a victim ("woundology"), and fear of change. Directing thought and energy to the past diverts vital life force from existing cells and organs that need that energy to function and heal. Healing requires living in the present, taking one's energy back from past traumas and hurts. Myss says that the only reason to nurture the past and keep it alive is because of bitterness about what happened. Refusing to forgive a past event or person leaks energy from the body. Forgiveness heals that leak. Myss says that forgiveness has little to do with no longer blaming others for the wounds that they caused. It has more to do with "releasing the control that the perception of victimhood has over our psyches." When we can see a hurtful act as part of life process, as a message or challenge instead of a personal betrayal, vital energy flows back into the physical body's energy circuits.
People don't heal, often, because they have not released the illusion of being a victim. Too often people hold onto wounds and grief longer than is healthy. Myss points to the many support groups, such as incest support groups, in our society. Ideally, support groups help the injured make the transition toward wholeness by providing witnesses who understand their legitimate pain. Staying in such groups, however, commits one's energy to the wound, to the past. Too often, people give power to their wounds because they have found that it calls forth support from others, which is interpreted as nurturing. The wounds become a means of manipulating and controlling others. Leaving wounds behind and with them all the support and power that they provide is frightening because, these days, people tend to relate and bond with others by sharing wounds rather than through strength and love. To walk into the present without "wound currency" is to walk into an unknown world.
Healing often requires making changes in one's lifestyle, environment, and relationships. Change can be frightening. In her book, Myss writes: "It is easy to keep oneself in a holding pattern, claiming that one does not know what to do next. But that is rarely true. When we are in a holding pattern, it is because we know exactly what we should do next, but we are terrified to act on it…change is frightening, and waiting for that feeling of safety to come along before one makes a move only results in more internal torment because the only way to acquire that feeling of security is to enter the whirlwind of change and come out the other end, feeling alive again." Healing demands action. Eating properly, daily exercise, taking appropriate medicine are actions that support the physical body. Releasing the past, leaving stressful jobs or relationships, honoring one's own individual truth and gifts, and meditation/spiritual practice are actions that support the energy body. What supports the one supports the other because the physical and energetic are inextricably linked. Even the process of dying, which we all face, can become a very healing act as old wounds are released and unfinished business with loved ones is resolved.
We can splice genetic material and track the tiniest proteins, but we have just begun to learn the anatomy of the human energy field. I urge each practitioner and reader to consider the spiritual needs – love, forgiveness, integrity, right use of power – that are as important as the food we eat and vitamins we take. At least, recognize that positive and negative energies are real forces that affect physiology and that living with gratitude in a way that respects individual spiritual integrity enlivens body and soul. Philosopher Jacob Needleman in his book The Way of the Physician wrote: "Since it is knowledge plus vital energy that heals another, the more knowledge [a practitioner] obtains at the expense of acquiring access to the higher energies within himself, the worse his life and practice become."
