Hot Takes w/Monty: Week 8 Rush Review vs. Atlanta Falcons
Hot Takes with Monty
I went to sleep early Thursday night just to wake up to watch that crap game that we were subjected to look at. This was easily the worst performance that we've seen all year. Full disclosure: If you are looking for a nice fluff piece about last night's loss, this won't be the one. We absolutely looked like s*** last night. I can't deny that we had a few high points throughout the game but for the most part we played a very sloppy and a very ugly game. Not to mention against a 1-6 NFC South rival at that. That's just unacceptable. I'm not holding anything back this week so let's dive right in.
Week 8 Hot Takes w/ Monty
Has anyone heard from our Offensive Line?
If there was a word that best described this offensive line as a whole, then that word would be inconsistent. VERY inconsistent if we're being 100% honest. Seriously, I would argue that we may have THE most inconsistent O-line in the NFL and I don't think it's close. To be fair, this may be the most frustrating bunch to watch simply because you just never know what you're going to get from them. In some games we get glimpses of straight dominance from up front, while in others this O-line looks like a bottom five unit. To make matters even worse our veteran players up front are the ones getting beat the most. Matt Paradis and Chris Reed could seriously make a case for single handedly losing last night's game by themselves.
Now, I recognize that no game is won or lost by one man. It takes 11 players to win, just like it takes 11 players to lose. So don't get my comments wrong here. There is plenty of blame to go around and not all of it falls at the feet of the offensive line. But with that being said, they WAS the biggest reason for last night's loss after getting your QB hit eight times along with allowing three sacks. It's painfully obvious that our offensive line is a big problem. Outside of Taylor Moton, we could seriously use a complete overhaul up front. And I am not joking. With eight more games left in the season, it's going to be very interesting to see what happens with this unit moving forward.
Form tackling… have you heard of it?
In my previous segment I stated that the offensive line was one of two reasons for us losing the game. Well ladies and gentlemen meet reason number two. The Carolina Panthers defense. This unit has been up and down, hot and cold all year. Therefore, it's only fitting that we were absolutely freezing all game. Very simply put we looked horrible on the defensive side of the ball. It was hard to even watch at times. We still have linebackers that struggle with simple aspects of football such as shedding blocks, form tackling, and still diving at players feet in space. We ended this game leading the NFL in most missed tackles through eight games. We also have a roster full of corners that are better suited in zone coverage than man coverage, but they STILL struggled with basic zone assignments and reads. We have a defense that is incapable of forcing 3rd down long all season. Our last two opponents have only punted the ball ONCE in the last eight quarters played. These struggles with getting off the field on 3rd down is why the Panthers currently ranks 31st in the NFL in forcing 4th down
Yeah I get that we have a young roster and with youth come mistakes. I understand that completely. Which is why I'm not harping on some of the mental mistakes and penalties that we took late in the game. But having a young team doesn't excuse poor tackling or not knowing your assignment when the ball is snapped. That's just unacceptable in my opinion. Outside of Brian Burns, Jeremy Chinn and Derrick Brown our defensive unit is depressing. Getting Rasul Douglas back next week should be huge for our secondary but we are in desperate need of a shutdown CB and a pure MLB. These next eight weeks are going to be telling. Phil Snow…. you have your work cut out for you buddy.
Coming out party for Curtis Samuel
Keeping this final segment short and sweet here. Let me first start by saying, I owe Curtis Samuel a huge apology. I was one of the loudest people calling for us to trade Samuel by the November 3rd trade deadline. Boy was I dead wrong for wanting him gone. You only need one word to describe Curtis Samuel and that word is BALLER. It doesn't matter what position you ask him to play. It doesn't matter where you have him lined up at. Simply put he is a matchup nightmare. Over time he has become a tremendous route runner, with an athletic resume that can allow him to play WR and RB. Perfect example of the definition of a team player. With all this talk amongst fans about Panther players and who is the team's "Number One WR", we often lose sight of how special Samuel is for this offense and for our team. He finished the game with 7 total touches, 54 total yards of offense and 2 TDs. Have you a day Curtis Samuel. Kudos to you!

UK borrowing falls by almost 50% as pandemic spending eases
William Schomberg
British pound coins are seen in front of displayed stock graph in this illustration
By William Schomberg
LONDON (Reuters) -British public borrowing nearly halved in the first eight months of the 2021/22 financial year compared with a year earlier when finance minister Rishi Sunak was deep in his emergency pandemic spending programme.
Borrowing between April and November fell to 136 billion pounds ($180 billion), down by almost 116 billion pounds in the same period of 2020, the Office for National Statistics said.
But the figure was still almost three times its level two years earlier, before the pandemic, and Sunak is under pressure to come up with fresh support for the hospitality industry and other sectors hit hardest by a new jump in COVID-19 cases.
Media have reported that Sunak was opposed to new social-distancing rules to slow the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday he was not changing the rules, for now.
Bethany Beckett, an economist with Capital Economics, said Tuesday's data almost seemed like old news as Omicron made another tightening of the rules a possibility.
"Although the economy has got better at coping with restrictions with each new wave, we still suspect it would prompt a deterioration in the public finances via lower tax revenues and the potential reintroduction of government support schemes," she said.
Public sector net borrowing for November alone, excluding state banks, totalled 17.4 billion pounds, more than the average forecast of 16 billion pounds in a Reuters poll of economists.
Borrowing in October was revised down to 12.4 billion pounds from a previously reported 18.8 billion pounds, official data showed.
Britain racked up its biggest budget deficit since World War Two, equivalent to 15% of gross domestic product, in the 2020/21 financial year.
But it is falling this year as the government scales back its emergency economic support, including its furlough jobs support programme which expired at the end of September, and tax revenues pick up along with the economy.
Tuesday's data showed total government receipts were up almost 15% in the April-November period.
But rising inflation is adding to the borrowing bill. Interest paid by the government, most of it from inflation-linked bonds, jumped by 54% to almost 43 billion pounds.
A recent acceleration of inflation in October and November had not yet impacted the interest costs, ONS officials said.
Public sector net debt totalled 2.318 trillion pounds, equivalent to 96.1% of gross domestic product and up by more than 500 billion pounds since the start of the pandemic.

Swiss National Bank should keep expansive policy - OECD
The Swiss National Bank should not alter its expansive monetary course until Switzerland's post-pandemic recovery is firmly established, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said on Thursday. The Swiss economy has emerged relatively unscathed from the COVID-19 crisis, the OECD said in its latest survey, although it added that some sectors had been hard hit and uncertainties remained high. The SNB helped companies and banks during the crisis by rolling out an emergency loans guarantee scheme.

Historical Data The massive 500-room Ambassador Hotel, designed by renowned architect Myron Hunt, opened for business in 1921 on the site of a former dairy farm. It occupied 23.7 acres at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, bordered by 8th Street, Catalina Street, and nearly to Mariposa Avenue. The hotel served as the stomping grounds for a staggering list of Hollywood legends, heads of state, and an endless list of famous personalities from the 20th Century. It is said that as many as seven U.S. Presidents stayed at the Ambassador, from Hoover to Nixon, along with heads of state from around the world. A pivotal moment in world history happened in 1968, when Robert F. Kennedy was shot in a pantry off of the Embassy Room (and died 25 hours later), following his California Primary victory speech. The death of RFK coincided with the beginning of the hotel's demise. The Schine family had owned the Ambassador for about 50 years, until its doors were closed on January 3, 1989 after 68 years of service, selling for $64 million. The landmark hotel was eventually demolished between late 2005 and early 2006.

Canada Disability Benefits Act
Paul Frey, Writer at the Victoria Disability Resource Centre, has written an article about the Canada Disability Benefit Act.
Disability organizations across Canada are urging the federal government to pass Bill-C-35, the Canada Disability Benefit Act.
The act is currently in the committee stage after having passed second reading on October 18, 2022. It was introduced in the House of Commons in Ottawa on June 2. But over 80 disability related organizations sent a letter to each of the federal house leaders on June 13 urging all parliamentarians not to forget the pledge they made on advancing the act as the House went into summer break.
"The urgent income insecurity and affordability crisis facing millions of people with disabilities in Canada coupled with the high inflation especially affecting basic goods makes bringing this legislation back for second reading a critical and time-sensitive priority," wrote Disability Without Poverty, in collaboration with 80 other disability organizations, on June 13. "The bill's second reading will be a milestone event that will enable C-22 (the Canada Disability Benefit Act) to quickly move forward to its assigned Standing Committee and the remainder of the legislative process that follows."
The coalition of disability groups said in their letter that they were waiting anxiously for almost a year when the legislation was first introduced in May following previous disability legislation that died on the order paper when Parliament was dissolved in anticipation of the federal election in 2021.
"Our community simply cannot wait as another season passes by, not knowing whether our federal representatives will deliver on their support for the dignity and financial security of all people living with disabilities in Canada. We would appreciate the favour of your reply without haste." the coalition wrote in its June letter.
In a news release announcing the introduction of the legislation, the federal government said that working-age Canadians with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty as their able-bodied peers – and that the pandemic made matters even worse.
"The Canada Disability Benefit is … the cornerstone of the government's Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) – a plan that was promised in the 2020 Speech from the Throne," the release stated. "The DIAP is a blueprint for change to make Canada more inclusive for persons with disabilities. It is based on the understanding that disability inclusion benefits everyone. The DIAP will evolve over time . . . and make targeted investments to create lasting change."
The DIAP is over-arching legislation also introduced by the federal government. It contains five objectives, one of which is reducing poverty among people with disabilities across Canada. The other four objectives of the DIAP are to improve the social and economic inclusion of people with disabilities; achieve a barrier-free Canada by 2040; develop a consistent approach to disability inclusion throughout the federal government, making it easier for people with disabilities to access federal programs and services; and to foster a culture of disability inclusion.
The benefit would work in conjunction with each province's disability benefit. Discussions on the amount would form part of the work with provinces and the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee.
"The Minister's number 1 concern with this benefit is to ensure that everyone who receives it is better off," said Tara Beauport, press secretary for the Office of the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion," in an e-mail. "This is an income supplement, not an income replacement. We're working closely with the provinces and territories to ensure harmonization on the design of this benefit."
The federal government does not have a targeted timeline for implementation of the benefit. The standing committee is working diligently on its study and the federal government will work closely with the provinces to get the benefit to those who qualify as quickly as possible, Beauport said.

Our little community, Leo Bruce Fan Club, Japan was established in 1983.
The original motive was simple: there are many fan clubs for famous crime writers such as Margery Allingham, R. A. Freeman and Rex Stout. Why not for Leo Bruce?
So, it started as a few Leo Bruce addicts, getting together to read and enjoy chatting about the novels. Then, in 1987, I determined to issue a small volume of hommages for Leo Bruce. It was titled "Aunt Aurora" after a character in "Neck and Neck". I suppose this was a strange event for Japanese mystery fans because the name of Leo Bruce was less well-known at that time. Whenever I referred to the Leo Bruce Fan Club in gatherings of detective fiction fans, I noticed a surprised expression on most faces. Most Japanese enthusiasts did not know Leo Bruce, because his novel had not been translated into Japanese at all except one, "At Death's Door" - and this novel had been out of print for thirty years long. They might be ashamed of their ignorance. For those who knew Leo Bruce, I suspected they did not recognise him worth organising a fan club because of his exceeding minority.
The circumstances have surprisingly improved since then. The members of the Fan Club now number fifty. Six volumes of "Aunt Aurora" have now been issued, with a seventh volume due soon. The major feature of our fanzine "Aunt Aurora" is that it usually contains a translation of one of the novels and it is possible that readers who are interested in but not familiar with Leo Bruce's work become his ardent fans through our magazine. Furthermore, two of his novels, "Jack on the Gallows Tree" and "Case with Ropes and Rings", have been published to attract the attention of Japanese detective fiction addicts (the latter was translated by myself). Is it too optimistic to think that this comes as a result of our activities?
Leo Bruce's novels were not easy to obtain, so it was fortunate that at an early stage our activity coincided with reprints of the novels by Ian Henry Publications in Great Britain and Academy Chicago in the United States. Personally, it took more than ten years to complete my collection of his novels, including reprint editions. I cannot imagine how many years it would take to complete the collection with first editions (preferably in more than very good condition with attractive dust wrappers). It is one of my personal dreams.
As the reader may have already noticed, the name of our fan club is accompanied with our country. This is because we expect that you shall have your own Leo Bruce Fan Club in each country. It is wonderful for us to be able to promote friendship through Leo Bruce, isn't it? Originally published in "Tangled Web", issue 1 (1995), but slightly revised.

Returning to chapter 8 and Paul's climactic explanation of your security in the salvation you have in Jesus Christ. Starting in chapter 6, Paul began explaining what changed for us as Christians as a result of putting our faith in Christ. And in chapters 6,7,& 8 he has been going through all the ramifications. Chapter 6 is when we learned we received a new spirit given to us by the Holy Spirit, made in the nature of Christ's sinless spirit.
So, to put it simply you have a sinless spirit, now that you are believing. And in chapter 7 we learned that for a time we are going to contend with our sinful fleshly body so that means we will continue to experience some of the vestiges of our past. Including we still have to see our body die at some point. So that's a part of our reality even still. And in chapter 8, where we are now, Paul says nevertheless despite still having sin in our life we are still righteous in our spirit, made so by Christ.
Furthermore, when Christ lived on Earth in His flesh, He satisfied all the requirements of the Law. Including paying the Law's price for sin which He didn't commit. Christ did all the right things then He suffered the penalty that only He could do for those who did the wrong things. Therefore, God can be just in assigning us Christ's sinless spirit by our faith, giving us credit for what Christ accomplished in His spirit on our behalf. Our new spirit is alive in Christ having been credited with meeting the terms of the Law and freed therefore from the penalty of the Law. So now our minds are set on the things of the Spirit, sharing a desire for what God desires, acknowledging the Law is right even as we fail to keep it on occasion. So literally the spirit that is in you is a spirit that God counts as having accomplished the Law because it is a spirit descended from Christ who did that for us. Which now means we live our lives in peace with God, set our mind on eternal things because we know that is our future. And Paul says as we learned in the first part of this chapter, all of these good things remain true despite your sin today because your spirit remains Christ-like. Your body goes to the grave and when it does so goes its condemnation that it deserves. That means as you stand before Christ in your judgment one day to come, you stand there approved in the spirit because the spirit you will have is the one that Christ won for us through the victory on the cross.
for those in Christ Jesus. There will be no condemnation at our judgment moment but there is now no condemnation either. When the Father looks upon you and me in our status as Christians, those who come to faith. All He sees is your sinless spirit. That righteousness won by Christ and credited to you by faith.
Where before we lived in the flesh on a path to death, Paul says now we operate with the Spirit and have the mind of Christ. Where before we were enslaved by sin, today we have a choice of whether to sin or not to sin. Before we were distant from God, today He lives in us, testifying to our hearts that we are His. These are all experiences Paul says are unique to the believer and therefore they reinforce for us that there is, in fact, something different about us as a result of our faith. Even on the darkest days when we have doubts, these things still exist true for us. We have this sense of who we are now, that we are different, we have a concern for things we never cared about before. Those things are proof Paul said. We have something different. These experiences become our assurance that we do not have condemnation. A Father does not condemn His children. The Lord does not condemn a perfect spirit. The Lord didn't die for us only to then to have to make us die for ourselves as well.
The question presupposes that the Universe hands out consequences according to personal value or personal worth. Those who do wrong will suffer bad things while those who do well will only experience good things. Sometimes this is characterized by the term 'karma.' That's how a lot of people think about the way the world should work which is why they are confused when they see bad things happening to good people. To them, that feels like there is something broken. And sometimes, though we don't use the term karma, obviously. Sometimes Christians fall into this same line of thought, although we assign all of that responsibility for good and bad outcomes to God, not to chance or something undefined. But we still have the same concerns. Why does God appoint bad things to good people? Why does He let His children suffer?
Because Christians tend to think that our relationship with God should assure us of something better in this life. And therefore we might ask, might our suffering for whatever reason suggest our eternal security is in doubt? Or if God truly loves us and we have no condemnation, then why does He let bad things to happen to us? Why would Christians ever have to suffer? Why would the Lord treat His children no differently than He seems to treat the rest of the world in regard to these many concerns that we share with the world? It's a legitimate question, but when you ask it, when you entertain it, you're thinking too narrowly about God's purposes in your life and in Creation itself. So for the rest of this chapter, Paul addresses the question of suffering. Why does God permit suffering and what does suffering say about our eternal security? And he does so on both levels just mentioned here. He starts first by looking at God's plan for creation and then he'll turn to talk about the individual.

Shadows of the Damned, Child of Eden come up short in June - Report
Grasshopper's action thriller said to have sold just 24,000 last month, Q Entertainment's psychedelic shooter pegged at 34,000 copies.
By Gamespot Staff on July 25, 2011 at 8:17AM PDT
June proved to be a fairly depressed month at retail, thanks in no small part to continued weakness in US software sales. Total software sales at US retail according to the NPD Group were down 10 percent to $508.9 million for the month, with May's top release, L.A. Noire, continuing its hold on the top of NPD's chart.
Grasshopper's latest got lost in the shadows.
The month proved to be especially bad for two of the more stylish games released during June. Joystiq reports that it has received word from NPD that the EA Partners-published Shadows of the Damned sold just 24,000 units across the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in June. Q Entertainment's latest rhythm game, Child of Eden, also reportedly fared quite poorly, selling just 34,000 units.
Receiving top marks from critics, Shadows of the Damned is an action thriller from Grasshopper Manufacture that boasted collaboration between No More Heroes creator Suda-51, Resident Evil architect Shinji Mikami, and Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. The game tells the story of Garcia Hotspur, who goes on a trip to hell to save his true love, Paula.
The Kinect-enabled Child of Eden also featured big-name appeal, with Tetsuya Mizuguchi leading development on the project. The game takes its cues in large part from Mizuguchi's acclaimed rhythm shooter Rez and features the same style of music-enhanced shooter gameplay with psychedelic visuals. A PS3 version of the game is also planned.
EA, Ubisoft, and NPD had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment on the sales figures as of press time.

Beacon Hill to improve traffic owners buried power lines
Homeowners in a west Beacon Hill neighborhood were excited about Sound Transit's new light-rail system, until power lines were strung over their homes, days before the grand opening.
Now an 80-foot-high pole sits between two houses, visible from highways and other hills.
"Everybody in the whole city can see where we live, just by looking up," says Nick Papini, whose once-clear views of Smith Tower and King Street Station are now obstructed.
The residents want the city to bury the lines underground, which wasn't done, city officials say, because the cost was too high.
Neighbors say neither Seattle City Light nor Sound Transit notified them or performed environmental studies before the wires were strung July 9 across newly installed poles to replace a smaller set of lines. Train service began July 18.
At a recent sidewalk gathering of 37 people, several asserted the city would never do this in areas with more money or clout, such as Magnolia, Queen Anne or the Admiral area where Mayor Greg Nickels lives, above Alki Beach.
"Beacon Hill has too many wires already. This is adding insult to injury," said resident Tina Ray. Some have talked to an attorney but have not decided whether to sue.
The $200,000 wiring on the hill was part of a $650,000 project in Sodo and under Interstate 5, done by the city and paid for by Sound Transit, said Scott Thomsen, a City Light spokesman.
The feeder lines serve three purposes, Thomsen said — to provide a second power source to the new Link trains in case of an outage; to improve the power supply to King County Metro Transit's electric buses; and to serve expected growth in Rainier Valley.
He said the decision was made before Link construction started five years ago.
Neighbors got some sympathy from a City Light customer-service engineer, Bryan Leuschen, who visited them in response to a complaint.
"I clearly saw that damage to part of their view, and I passed that on to the powers that be" at the utility, he said.
City Light engineers discussed the issue last month and still believe it would have cost $1.5 million to bury the wires using conventional drilling, or $5 million to bore a 4-foot-wide microtunnel, said Thomsen.
"Every alternative was a huge increase in cost," he said.
The residents also ask why Sound Transit wouldn't spend some of the rail line's $2.3 billion budget to preserve the hillside's beauty, after the agency spent $5 million for public art.
Sound Transit spokesman Geoff Patrick referred questions to City Light, saying the wiring method was solely the city's decision, as City Light did the work.
Besides running the city, Nickels is chairman of the Sound Transit governing board. Nickels spokesman Alex Fryer said the city spent millions undergrounding wires in South Seattle during rail construction on Martin Luther King Jr. Way South.
Asked if west Beacon Hill was being treated worse than other areas, Fryer said he couldn't talk about "hypotheticals" and that cost is the issue.
"There are distribution lines crisscrossing the city, in every neighborhood," Fryer said. "That's a part of urban life."
But he acknowledged, "Maybe the community outreach that should have been done, wasn't done."
Some of the 12th Avenue residents intend to air their grievances to the City Council.
"They thought they could get away with doing whatever they wanted, because this is Beacon Hill," said resident Rick Fried. "This will not happen anymore."

Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
In CBT Made Simple, two psychologists and experts in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offer the ultimate "how-to" manual based on the principles of effective adult learning. Structured around these evidence-based principles, this user-friendly guide will help you learn CBT and deliver it to your clients in the most optimal way.
CBT is a popular and proven-effective treatment for several mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anger problems. However, there are no evidence-based learning techniques to teach it—until now. This simple, pragmatic guide offers everything you need to know about CBT: what it is, how it works, and how to implement it in session.
CBT Made Simple provides a user-friendly, practical approach to learning CBT using up-to-the-minute teaching methods and learning tools—in particular, the "effective adult learning model," which promotes interactive learning, experiential learning, and self-reflection. Each chapter presents key elements of CBT in clear, accessible language, and includes client dialogues—including explanations of the therapist's thinking process in relation to various interventions—and clinical examples. Practical exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling you to practice and consolidate your learning. In addition, each chapter mimics the structure of an actual CBT session.
If you are a clinician or student interested in learning more about CBT, this book—a new addition to the New Harbinger Made Simple series that includes ACT Made Simple and DBT Made Simple—has everything you need to hit the ground running. Why not make it a part of your professional library?
"Josefowitz and Myran have written a tremendously useful and practical book for new and seasoned practitioners alike. CBT Made Simple is accessible, engaging, and provides a wealth of clinical examples, resources, and applications that will be turned to time and time again. The authors' experience and wisdom shines through in providing guidance to help the reader apply cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) not only to their clients, but to learn through applications on themselves. Each chapter follows the structure of a CBT session, and guides the reader through learning in the same way that they will teach their clients. CBT is made simple through this elegantly written book!"
—Deborah Dobson, PhD, RPsych, adjunct professor in the department of psychology at the University of Calgary, and coauthor of Evidence-Based Practice of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; and Keith Dobson, PhD, RPsych, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Calgary, and editor of Handbook of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies
"This book provides a clear and structured approach to learning and practicing CBT. Nina and David have incorporated active learning strategies, visual and auditory techniques, and lots of opportunities to practice new skills. In addition, a wealth of resources is available online to supplement the text. This book is an invaluable resource for therapists learning CBT for the first time, and for those more experienced who need a refresher in the core principles and practices of CBT."
—Enid Grant MSW, RSW, senior director of Children's Mental Health at Skylark Children, Youth & Families
"Josefowitz and Myran's innovative approach to teaching CBT skills engages the reader in a way that I haven't seen in previous books on the topic. Each chapter of the book is organized like a CBT session—setting an agenda, presenting experiential exercises, and assigning homework. The book describes CBT in a step-by-step, accessible way that is sure to be helpful for both new therapists and seasoned clinicians wanting to brush up on their skills. I highly recommend CBT Made Simple!"
—Martin M. Antony, PhD, professor of psychology at Ryerson University, and coauthor of The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook and The Anti-Anxiety Workbook
"This is a program hidden in a book, which encourages an experiential approach to CBT learning. With the additional web resources (videos, handouts) it will thoroughly engage CBT learners and teachers. A 'must-have' text in the era of expanding CBT practice"
—Sanjay Rao, MD, clinical director of the Mood and Anxiety Program at Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Ottawa, and executive member of the Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies
"CBT Made Simple offers an innovative, cutting-edge method of understanding and using CBT using the effective adult learning model. This unique and practical resource will be of great help to clinicians who are new to CBT, as well as those who've been practicing for years. I highly recommend this book!"
—Matthew McKay, PhD, psychologist and coauthor of several books, including The CBT Anxiety Solution Workbook, Thoughts and Feelings, and Self-Esteem
"Much has been written on CBT. Still there is a need—indeed a hunger—for a clear and practical how-to book. This volume fills that need remarkably well. Its pragmatic, skill-based, experiential approach will be extremely helpful especially for clinicians new to CBT for whom it is intended. However, clinicians with all levels of sophistication and experience will find much to deepen their knowledge and practice."
—Michael Rosenbluth, MD, FRCPC, chief of the department of psychiatry at Toronto East General Hospital, and associate professor at the University of Toronto

Hammocks offer an escape from the hurried pace of everyday life. They welcome you to unplug and unwind. Relaxing in a hammock can help relieve that stress and pressure of whatever weighs on your mind and can open you up to the beauty of nature. Lying in a hammock can help to relieve many types of pain but most importantly, many forms of back pain. The subtle contour it has with your back helps relieve ache muscles and stress-induced nerves. Installation is a snap and within minutes you can be on your way to a peaceful rest.
So you want to get a hammock but you're not sure where to start? We have you covered. In this guide you will be introduced to the main types of hammocks, hammock chairs, types of stands and hanging methods. We'll even get into types of materials used on hammocks and the properties of each. We want you to be the most informed about hammocks or chairs so you can find the best fit for your needs.
These are the traditional North American style hammocks that have wooden spreader bars on each end. These offer classic styling and have superior resistance to the elements. They add an element of décor to any cottage or backyard setting. This type of hammock is probably the most recognizable style in the US, and conjures up an image of a porch hammock gently swaying in the breeze on a sunny Sunday morning. Spreader bars create a more flat surface and are more conducive to multiple persons. This style is often used with stands which gives you the ability to put your hammock in just the right spot.
One of the reasons that quilted hammocks are becoming increasingly popular is the unquestionable comfort it provides. This material is soft and pleasant on the skin. Hammocks of this material are thicker and therefore provide more comfortable padding. Most quilted hammocks are breathable enough to allow you to stay cool on a hot summer day. They tend to be more durable than other types of materials and because of the nature of the material it allows for lots of colors and design variations. Quilted hammocks are also recommended for children since they don't have to worry about hands or feet going through the netting as can be the case with traditional rope hammocks.
Want to re-create that tropical vacation you went on? The Mayan hammock with thinner, light strings that spread evenly for a very comfortable airy hammock. The mesh size is much smaller than the traditional rope hammock so it creates a delightful and relaxing experience. Because of the tighter weave and lighter rope it contours every part of the occupant's body. Mayan hammock is the one which seems to hang lower than all the others when it is laid in. They are ideally laid in diagonally, and usually have ornate tassels hanging from the edges of the hammock bed. Mayan hammocks typically do not use spreader bars except in very rare occasions. Like many other hammocks this style has exceptional weight tolerance but usually requires a little more distance between anchors as they tend to dip down with occupants a little more than other styles.
A real art creation is the Nicaraguan hammock. With customized hand woven materials, the fine fibers give added comfort as well as a beautiful look. Hand woven by artisans, these hammocks often take on beautiful patterns. The Nicaraguan hammock is most often associated with the ornate tassels and other woven types of flare hanging off both sides of the hammock. They are made of cotton and have a tighter weave than the Mayan. They are often used as comfortable beds.
Lounging on a multi-colored, original Brazilian hammock is a decidedly relaxing experience. Tightly woven fibers provide a strong support even for heavier loads. It was developed by Brazil's Tapeba Indians, and its distinguishing features reflect their needs. With a weave even finer than that of the Nicaraguan this hammock is much more comfortable to sleep in when the air is a little cooler. The tight weave cuts down on ventilation, making it a less suitable choice for very hot climates. However, the spacing of the weave gives the Brazilian hammock a canvas-like feel and many believe the comfort this adds is unparalleled as, being made of cotton, these hammocks are also very soft to the touch.
This type of hammock is made of durable and lightweight nylon (parachute-like material). These hammocks take up little space in the trunk or a backpack. They are reliable, sturdy and easy to set up. The ground can be lumpy, rooty and rocky but with camping hammocks you can simply rise above all that! But what about bugs and rain? No problem. With rain flys and bug netting you can easily keep out the rain and stinging intruders. In the morning, you won't have to deal with a dirty and potentially muddy tent to pack up- just detach the hammock from the trees, roll it up and be on your way. Camping hammocks are starting to gain popularity in the camping and hiking world as legitimate replacements for tents and for good reason.
It can last much longer outdoors in comparison to a cotton rope hammock. This is attributed to the fact that these artificial fibers have a stronger resistance to the natural elements.
It is considered as the best material for a rope hammock. This synthetic fabric combines the advantages of both polyester and cotton, providing durability and softness. DuraCord is stain resistant, holds its color, dries very quickly and needs very little maintenance, making it a very popular choice of rope hammock material.
Fabric hammocks are a common type and are found in many family backyards. It is easier to place on stands and easier to carry from one place to the other. Fabric hammocks have been around for thousands of years, and there are some still woven by hand, especially in Brazil. Fabric hammocks have a closed, almost overlapping weave, so it is tough and flexible to heavy use.
Hammocks usually feature two layers of DuraCord or Sunbella, sandwiching a center of fiberfill batting resulting in ultimate comfort. These fabrics are resistance to mildew, mold, rot and staining. One of the best things about this material is that it feels just as soft as cotton.
Hammocks with pillowy perfection. It comes with two layers of DuraCord or Sunbrella fabric sandwich a thick layer of polyester fiber that is often made from recycled materials. Moreover, the fabric is often sewn in lines going across the length of the hammock. These multiple lines occur at regular intervals on the hammock end to end creating peaks and valleys of cushiony comfort.
Just like the pillow-top, tufted also features pillowy perfection. In the case of tufted hammock tops, the comfort derives from the creation of dense clusters of cushion just as it is seen in tufted couches. Typically, the tufted top hammocks will have an attached head-pillow made of matching fabric.
These hammocks feature woven ribbons that are hand crafted of cotton with polyester batting. This hammock is also known as a hybrid hammock since you will experience the best of the both worlds. The ribbon provides a breezy feel with a comfort of a quilted hammock. In addition to this, the soft weave hammocks offer uncanny level of comfort for each season.
There are countless benefits to sleeping in a hammock bed. The gentle rocking motion leads to falling faster asleep and achieving longer, more sustained periods of sleep. The proper hammock weave can also reduce pressure on your joints and back. The end result from sleeping in a hammock is that you'll awake more refreshed, recover faster when you're sick or in pain. Here are some of the important factors that you should consider when choosing a hammock bed.
People spend a lot of time trying to pick out the right color bedspread, wallpaper, carpet or paint. Selecting the right hammock for your home should be no different. Is this hammock going to be on the porch where design will be more important? Will be hanging out on your property subject to the elements? Is this hammock going to replace your daybed for long naps or is it going to be more for just hanging out and reading a book? These are important points to consider when deciding which style to choose.
Mayan and Nicaraguan hammocks both feature an elaborate weave that has been perfected over centuries. They feature an interlocking spring weave in which one strand will intertwine with 2-3 others, resulting in a hammock that stretches and adapts according to your own body weight and shape. Brazilian hammocks, with their tighter weave, make for a more solid hammock that's great for those cooler summer nights.
How is your hammock going to be used? Consider what will work best with your intended use and location. Is this hammock going indoors, outdoors, only summer use or all year long, how many people does it have to accommodate at once, do I have porch space or a good spot between two trees?
The bed sizes of hammocks refer to the footprint of the hammock on which you will relax and lounge. The main difference in bed sizes of hammock is the width. The hammock's width determines whether the hammock is for a single person or multiple people.
King or Family sized hammocks are sufficiently big. They are intended to accommodate 2-3 averaged-sized people. The usual dimensions of King or Family sized hammock is 79 inches long and 79 inches wide.
Queen sized hammocks are commonly large enough for 2 averaged-sized people. The usual sizes of Queen or matrimonial hammocks are 79 inches long and 69 inches wide.
Double sized hammocks are huge enough to accommodate 2 average-sized people. The width of double size hammock ranges from 52 inches to 60 inches and the length is commonly 74-79 inches long.
Single size hammocks are perfect for one average size person. The width size of single hammock ranges from 39-50 inches and the length of single hammock bed is commonly range from 76-70 inches.
If there are no trees around, you can simply use a hammock stands. They can be set up anywhere and come in different materials and colors to suit your style needs.
Trees; they're free and always willing to help you hang a hammock. Just make sure you find two trees that are at the right distance. Here is a guide for proper separation distance and height. (include guide on proper distance and height) Only one tree available? No problem, check out this easy solution.
Often used in tandem with the main hanging ropes or chains, hammock springs add an element of shock absorption. When getting in or whenever weight is applied to the hammock or hammock chair the spring adds a little give to the hanging rope. The springs will flex with the hammock movements and it is an excellent way to hang indoor and outdoor hammocks and hammock chairs.
It can be used for increasing the hammock length and load capacity. They also give you the peace of mind.
First, you should consider the width of the hammock. In order for you to be comfortable in using a hammock, you need a hammock that is wide enough. It should be wide enough to accommodate you (if that's all who will use it) or multiple people (if that is likely to be the case).
Weaving technique plays a vital role to get utmost comfort while using your hammock. Mayan hammocks are made with a roomy weave compared to Brazilian hammocks. Woven from thin fiber, they are much more breathable than their southern cousins. The tighter weave used in Brazilian hammocks, constructed from bolts of cloth, makes them retain your body heat better.
Material choice is equally important. Among other things, the material affects the amount of stretch. A Mayan hammock or Rope hammock will be stretchy. Hanging from a tree requires that you add a few inches in height to compensate from where you end up at the lowest point.
Nylon will generally wear longer and often be more moisture proof. Cotton blends have come a long way and are soft to the touch. Polyester will weather extremely well. On the other end of the scale, Olefin is used in some more expensive models; it wears well, cleans easily and can be woven into a very comfortable product.
Baby hammocks are popular today with parents of newborns. They are said to promote sound sleep through comfortable hammock design and springing motion. Experts say the natural rocking movement and soft womb-like feel of the baby hammock can enhance the emotional, physical and intellectual development of a baby sleeping soundly within it. Hushamok is a popular pick amongst baby hammocks.

The publishing landscape is wintry but spring is in the air
James McConnachie, Editor
I always try to shape each issue of The Author around a theme – but this Spring issue is more vigorous. It has three. The first might go against the instincts of those who live by words: it considers silence.
Poet Philip Gross guides us through the quiet landscapes of pauses, white spaces and 'the writing-in of spaciousness', while John Greening, another poet, takes us on a journey into writers' retreats – although he argues that proper retreats are communal, mutually supportive affairs rather than eremetical adventures. Lawyer David Hooper, meanwhile, advises us how to handle the ugly noise of online trolls and harassing reviewers and, most movingly, Kate Colquhoun describes finding her voice after years in which she did not write at all.
The second theme examines the many forms that authors now take. Typically described as cats – unherdable – we are becoming more like chameleons. Caroline Sanderson introduces us to the newly emerging figure of the 'hybrid' author who chooses to be both published and self-published.
John Ward experiments with what he calls 'extreme self-publishing', by which he means that he does all the work himself, from writing and printing to guillotining the paper and stitching the very bindings of his own book. Joan Michelson concentrates on her own sales – or 'peddling' her poetry chapbook, as she describes it. Not so much self-publishing, in her case, as self-deprecating.
A news story drives our third theme. The publisher Michael Bhaskar offers a personal insight into the report he co-wrote for the Arts Council on the wintry economics of literary fiction in the UK. Sales and prices have been dropping like temperature and air-pressure ahead of a cold front, he finds, but there are signs of spring. And signs of strength in depth: he notes the networks that underpin many authors' economic, professional and emotional lives, and singles out those created and sustained by the SoA and its admirable Authors' Foundation. The tireless work of the Foundation is described for us by Mark Le Fanu.
Reading Bhaskar's report it seemed to me that British literary fiction stands like a forest in late winter. The trees are bare and a little wind-blown, perhaps, but the forest's fundamental architecture is still strong. And one of the reasons for that strength – if I can stretch the analogy further – lies underground.
It is a relatively recent discovery that individual trees are nourished not only by the soil, sun and rain but by thread-like mycorrhizal networks that all but invisibly connect them. It is from this fungal web, indeed, that 40% of the carbon in a tree's roots is derived. Trees draw strength, in other words, not only from above and deep below, but from their neighbours.
Applications to the Authors' Foundation close on 30th April.

This low-sugar, Cherry BBQ Sauce is naturally sweetened with fruit, which makes it an awesome Paleo option! Try it on Ribs or chicken!
I have been playing with making a low sugar BBQ sauce for a while now, and it's been tough going. Then I saw that Michelle Tam used cherries in a BBQ sauce and I was like, "Awesome idea!" so I stole it.
Cherries have their own natural sugar, but there is only one (optional) tablespoon of maple syrup in this recipe. Booyah!
I'm kind of famous for my BBQ ribs; they are fantastic (if I do say so myself). I should really say that my husband and I are famous for our ribs because he is the one who works the smoker and grill while I trim and rub the meat and make the sauce.
Anyway, I decided to incorporate a lot of the flavors that I have in my BBQ ribs sauce, into this low sugar version. I'm pretty damn psyched about the results.
I used this sauce on some slow cooker ribs and it was a hit! You know people like your food when they keep going up for seconds and thirds 😉 If you want to try it out, follow the instructions for my Slow Cooker Ribs with Bourbon BBQ Sauce, and just sub in Cherry BBQ Sauce for the Bourbon BBQ Sauce.
If you are Whole 30, you can omit the maple syrup and bourbon; it's still yummy without them (I tasted to check).
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add green onions, sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.
Add the tomato paste, mustard, coconut aminos, balsamic vinegar, apple juice, water, bourbon, real maple syrup, spices and salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate.
Stir in the frozen cherries, raise heat to medium, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Turn burner to low and simmer. When cherries are heated through and softened, use a potato masher to break them up.
Simmer mixture stirring frequently until the cherries are broken down and the sauce has reduced, (about 5 minutes).
Pour mixture into blender and blend until smooth. Blend less for a chunky sauce and more for a smooth sauce.
To store in the refrigerator (or freezer) covered, until you are ready to use. The sauce will keep refrigerated for 5 days, and frozen for 3 months.

The Marathon Marathon Project
The Marathon Marathon Project (hereinafter τουμαραθωνίουmarathonproject), will take place in Athens at the Acropolis Museum on October 31, 2010 under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The project takes as its point of departure the impressive international array of marathon-format events which are rooted in the concept of superhuman endeavor, in the seemingly impossible but historically real feat of the Battle of Marathon. A particular point of reference was the international event entitled "The Marathon Project," which has been held annually since 2005 as part of the Serpentine Gallery art program in London. Through a marathon series of talks and presentations this project generates an important, unprecedented archive made up of the intricate "path" of thought and expression taken by artists and intellectuals as they explore a central issue or topic (e.g. The Poetry Marathon, the Manifesto Marathon, the Marathon of Maps). In doing so the project has questioned the established ways of presenting art and re-negotiated the concepts of public dialogue and cultural goods.
The apparent tautology in the title of the Athens event comes from the fact that τουμαραθωνίουmarathonproject—the "Marathon of the Marathon"—is being held as part of the celebrations of the 2500th anniversary of the Battle of Marathon and the organization this year of the Golden Marathon.
The reason for putting this project together was the need for a different reading of the anniversary, through the artists' and intellectuals' point of view and , in terms of both the act of commemoration (why we celebrate the anniversary) and the content of what is being commemorated (what it means). This meta-Marathon—the discourse about the Marathon—provides an opportunity to creatively re-link the message of the Marathon not only to its place of origin but also to the numerous places around the world where this message was relayed and multiplied.
The project is being realized at a historical conjuncture which is proving to be decisive for re-shaping the broader features of Greek society and culture. The event explores such topics as the new understanding of humanism that has emerged within contemporary culture, the (re-) interpretation of innovation in a globalized world of hybrid realities, and the role of the arts in the memorization of the past, present and future. Other topics include the renegotiation of the idea of the Other (which comes to the fore in the Battle of Marathon itself and in Aeschylus's Persians) and the symbolic transformation of Pheidippides from soldier to warrior-runner.
Artists, writers and intellectuals from Greece and abroad (such as Jeff Koons, Daniel Birnbaum, Sarah Morris, Simon Fujiwara, Huang Yong Ping, Giannis Kounellis, Nanos Valaoritis, Christiana Soulou, Andreas Angelidakis and more) will take part in τουμαραθωνίουmarathonproject, which is being curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and co-curated by Nadja Argyropoulou. The proceedings will be published in book form and distributed internationally.
The Marathon Marathon or τουμαραθωνίουmarathonproject is being organized by the non-profit cultural initiative, Saprofyta. It is realized in cooperation with the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art and the Acropolis Museum.

Bristoe Campaign
Bristoe Campaign (October 13–November 7, 1863)
Author: Harry Searles, Past Present & Future	and Mike Mangus, The Ohio State University	Published: July 21, 2015 Updated: September 19, 2015
The Bristoe Campaign was a short series of engagements that took place in northeastern Virginia between October 13 and November 7, 1863, as the Union Army of the Potomac pursued the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia following the Federal victory at the Battle of Gettysburg in July.
Following the Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), Major General George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac cautiously pursued General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia as it retreated into Virginia. Despite encounters at the Battle of Williamsport (July 6-16, 1863), the Battle of Boonsboro (July 8, 1863), and the Battle of Manassas Gap (July 23, 1863), Meade was unable to prevent Lee's escape and called off the chase.
In September, Confederate officials pressured Lee into sending Lieutenant General James Longstreet's 1st Corps to Chattanooga to reinforce Lieutenant General Braxton's Bragg's Army of Tennessee, which was being battered by Major General William Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland. When Meade learned that Lee had weakened his army, he decided to renew his pursuit. In mid-September, Meade sent two columns forward to engage the remnants of Lee's army, which was encamped along the Rapidan River.
The tables quickly turned, however, when Washington officials ordered Meade's 11th and 12th Corps to Tennessee after the Confederate victory at the Battle of Chickamauga (September 19–20, 1863). With the size of Meade's army also depleted, Lee responded by crossing the Rappahannock River and launching an offensive aimed at Meade's right flank. Meade countered by beginning a withdrawal to secure his supply depot at Centerville.
On October 13, Confederate Major General J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry skirmished with the rearguard of the Union 3rd Corps near Auburn, in Fauquier County, Virginia. On the next day, as skirmishing continued near Auburn, Confederate General A.P. Hill's corps was in pursuit of Major General George Sykes's 5th Corps, which was serving as the rearguard of Meade's army. When Hill caught sight of Sykes' corps near Bristoe Station early in the afternoon, he ordered his lead division, commanded by Major General Henry Heth, to attack.
Due to poor reconnaissance, however, Hill was unaware that Major General Gouverneur Warren's 2nd Corps was also in the area. When Warren saw Heth's division approach, he deployed his own troops in a strong defensive position along the embankment of the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. As Heth continued his pursuit of Sykes, Warren's men unleashed a hail of lead into the right flank of two brigades of the unsuspecting Confederates. Heth desperately tried to turn his men around to face their assailants but with little success. A futile charge into the murderous fire failed to dislodge the stubborn Yankee defenders. By the time that the Rebels escaped, Hill had lost nearly 1,400 soldiers, as well as a battery of artillery. Union losses at the Battle of Bristoe Station totaled approximately 550 men.
Following the Union victory at Bristoe Station, Lee called off his short-lived offensive and slowly fell back to the Rappahannock River, destroying the Orange & Alexandria Railroad on the way. With Lee in retreat, Meade reversed his course and, once again, became the pursuer. On October 19, 1863, Stuart, who was shielding Lee's withdrawal, lured Brigadier-General Judson Kilpatrick's Union cavalry into an ambush near Buckland Mills on a small stream named Broad Run. Stuart's horsemen routed the surprised Blue Coats and sent them fleeing. The Union retreat was so speedy that the Confederates derisively referred to the Battle of Buckland Mills as the Buckland Races. The next day, Stuart's cavalry rejoined Lee's main army.
By early November, Lee's army had safely crossed the Rappahannock River, leaving intact a pontoon bridge at Rappahannock Station. Meade, who was under intense pressure from Washington to continue to pursue Lee's retreating army, launched an attack on November 7, 1863. Meade directed Major General William H. French's 3rd Corps to strike Lee's lines at Kelly's Ford. He also ordered Major General John Sedgwick's 6th Corps to assault the bridge at Rappahannock Station. French's forces attacked first and were able to secure the ford. When they began crossing the river, Lee hastily shifted troops to halt the advance. At dusk, Sedgewick's men surged forward and overran the Confederates guarding the bridge. During the rout, they captured more than 1,600 soldiers of Major General Jubal Early's Division.
The Union victory at the Battle of Rappahannock Station forced Lee to retreat even farther south than he had hoped before the onset of winter. It also emboldened Meade to launch another offensive before cold weather arrived. In late November and early December, the two armies would engage again during the Mine Run Campaign.
During the Bristoe Campaign, the Union suffered nearly one thousand casualties (killed, wounded, and captured). The Confederacy lost approximately 3,500 soldiers, many of whom were captured at Rappahannock Station. Although the campaign began as a Confederate offensive, it resulted in a Union success because Meade forced Lee to concede the land between the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers.

Where you can find nonsense and common sense all in one spot.
You know the friend that always knew about that band before it was mainstream?
That's 100% not me (I still rock out to The Offspring…). But, with matcha…ooooh boy I'm going to regale you with my history.
When I was a student at Boston University, I use to walk to Allston to an actual internet cafe. It was this Korean place that served bubble tea. I think it was the first place I ever had it. I had drank green tea (the kind you could get from Bigelow at Wal-mart) since I was 14 or so, but had never heard of matcha (which I pronounced match (like a matchstick)- ah (like hold your tongue out).
For whatever reason, I decided to order it, and I fell in love. To me, it was earthy-seaweedy-not sweet and so great on a muggy, armpit-summer Boston day. At the time, my friends wouldn't go near it. You couldn't find it anywhere.
That was almost 13 or more years ago. Now, it's literally everywhere in every form (matcha cheesecake, match coffee cake, ice cream, matcha mints). It's the age of matcha madness and it makes me PUMPED.
Now that I live in New York, I want to share where I've found matcha in Brooklyn in my wanders throughout the borough.
Oh man this cafe is so charming. Plants everywhere, concrete and raw material styling reminicent of a better version of Anthropologie and lots of interesting drinks to choose from besides matcha. You'll find matcha lattes here with the option to have it sweetened with honey.
When you walk into this place, it doesn't really seem like a cozy cafe, since the front is a little bare. The back space, however, is HUGE and seems like the study room of a college student center. Tons of room, wifi, and best of all, matcha.
I love this place! The hours aren't the best, but I've always found a table and the backyard is adorable.
You can get it "Americano" (hot water + matcha, the more traditional way to drink it), or as a latte. The price is decent and I've never had a bad cup here.
Ohhh this place has never let me down. Great matcha (iced oat milk latte is my go-to here..it is about $7 though!), tons of outlets, friendly staff, and never too crowded.
Anyyyyways. They do have oat milk, but each time I've had an oat milk matcha latte here it's tasted…a little light on the matcha side. It's hot, creamy oat milk with a touch of matcha. You also won't find it made Americano style (I asked and was greeted with a blank stare). The baristas here are veryyyy not into being in the customer service industry. It's a shame because this place is right near the Carroll St F stop.
I avoid this hipster wasteland & the only place I've had matcha in this 'hood is MatchaBar which is now permanently closed!


Today, I am thankful for my friends. When I say friends, I mean the ones I've had for 20+ years. See these are the lifers. These are the friends that you can call in a crisis, no matter what time of day or night, they will come to your rescue. These are the friends that know everything about you. They know the good, the bad and the ugly. These friends withstand the test of time through any storm. These friends will cry for you and with you. Even if you don't talk to them for periods of time, the bond that you have with them will never, ever break. I have specific memories with my "lifers"! When I think about some of the times we've had, all I can do is shake my head, holla and laugh!!! We have been in each other's lives through the death of loved ones, births of our children, graduations, marriages, divorces, financial problems, and all the other high's and low's that you can imagine. It's a blessing to still have bonds that started from childhood. Now that we're much older, certain things become more precious by default. People gravitate to things that are more authentic. With so many things in the world becoming extremely superficial, it's refreshing to know that there's a rich part of your life tucked away in your memory bank that you can share with someone when memories are all you have left. I am rich in every part of my life and this has always been and will always be a very special part! No matter what, I will always love my FRIENDS~FOR~LIFE~!


Owning a Armored cars is a prestigious matter. You really do need to consider excellent aches in keeping it in nicely-maintained condition. Headlights about the vehicle also type a stunning characteristic on its overall appearance. Halogen lighting fixtures are getting to be a tale of history today as xenon lights are becoming significantly employed and recommended over them Xenon Lights use xenon gasoline to give off gentle. Xenon gasoline is odourless and colourless petrol which emits happier and whiter lighting on arriving in contact with electrical current And are designed for addressing a big span of location – size intelligent and also width intelligent. Xenon Front lights offer you numerous positive aspects like much brighter gentle and covering up a wider section of the highway helping to make traveling a lot less dangerous and secure practical experience particularly at night occasions.
With product particular vehicle Xenon front lights you can find currently, you could choose Armored cars Xenon too. Should you be interested in putting in xenon lights on your Armored cars, you should choose the Hid xenon conversion process package. With most of the conversion process systems available on the web, you must choose a suitable system which is created and produced for the car design you hold. Just in case you get the Hid xenon conversion process kit online make sure you examine and match each one of the fittings with those which are in fact contained in your Armored cars car.
A normal Armored cars Xenon light set will contain two HID XENON lamps, two ballasts with all required wiring and 2 ballast installation mounting brackets together with an installment guidebook. With Xenon front lights, Armored cars car lamps will client a lot less electricity thus significantly less fuel way too. You also, will begin to take pleasure in evening driving a vehicle while you with much brighter and much better lighting process, presence of the highways is extremely boosted and you could view the potholes or obstructions with your way as your push. Xenon Lighting fixtures purportedly produce 300% brighter lighting than halogen lights. Xenon lighting very last practically three times over regular halogen bulbs which make them that make them cost-effective and cost-effective.
Most famously accessible distinct Armored cars Xenon products are for Armored cars A-Course W168,A-Course W169, B-type W245, CLK-School W208, E Class W211, E-Class W212 and S-Class W221 for example.

This Game shows emotion, many emotion, it's really good.
this game is definitely an improvement from the last one, it has more of a "professional" feel to it and there's more going on with the story. I really like how you "redecorated" the house as well the computer which looks a lot cooler than before. and I think it was a good idea to actually post pictures of the victims so you'd know who to shoot at all times (although sometimes it doesn't say but it those times it really doesn't matter) the graphics are pretty the same as the last one so I won't say much about them. there are some things I just don't understand. the television for example, in the first game you could watch it, but now its just sitting there. the newspaper in the first game could only be read if there was something relating to the murder or something else that seems interesting, other wise the newspaper wouldn't be there. but the newspaper in this one is always there and I really don't see the point of it cause sometimes when it doesn't mention anything about the murder you can't read the other articles.

ITER: The Giant Fusion Reactor
M. Claessens
ITER: The Giant Fusion Reactor is the first book to present an insider's view on the ITER fusion reactor project in southern France. Aimed at bringing the "energy of the stars" to earth, ITER - funded by the major economic powers China, the EU, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the US - sees its budget grow as delays continue to accumulate. The writer, Michel Claessens, head of communication and external relations of the ITER project from 2011 to 2016, offers readers a unique behind-the-scenes look at this controversial project and introduces them to a world of superlatives: with the largest magnets in the world, the biggest cryogenic plant and tremendous computing power, ITER is one of the most fascinating, international, scientific and technological endeavours of our time.
Fusion Energy and Power: Applications, Technologies and Challenges
Lionel Romero
The worldwide fusion community continues its research efforts on magnetic confinement as the most promising, long-term, environmentally-friendly power source. Despite the ongoing fusion research efforts in many countries, the technology and materials-related challenges remain formidable and will hinder and delay the first fusion demonstration plant for decades. In this book, the current understanding of technology-related challenges facing fusion research are explored. Advances in fusion neutronics integral experiments in the benchmark mock assemblies for the blanket of a fusion-fission hybrid energy reactor are also described in brief. Cold Fusion (CF) is examined as well, with the authors' argument backed by evidence that cold fusion (CF) can become more understandable. The final chapter details the Force Free Helical Reactor (FFHR) and its implications on fusion power. Contents:  Overview of Fusion Neutronics Experiments for Blanket of a Hybrid Energy Reactor  (Rong Liu, Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry, Key Laboratory of Neutron Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics, Mianyang, Sichuan, China)  Technology-Related Challenges Facing Fusion Power Plants  (Laila A.

Nuclear Engineering: An Introduction
K. Almenas, R. Lee
This textbook covers the core subjects of nuclear engineering. Developed to meet the needs of today's students and nuclear power plant operators, the text establishes a framework for the various areas of knowledge that comprise the field and explains rather than just defines the relevant physical phenomena. For today's engineer the principal analytical design tool is the personal computer. The text takes advantage of this recent development. PC programs are provided which either expand the computational range accessible to the student, or serve to illustrate the relevant physical phenomena. Some of the included programs are simplified versions of computational procedures used in the field and can be used as training tool for design calculations. The text devotes special attention to subjects which have an impact on the safe operation of nuclear power reactors. This includes the design of safety optimized core configurations, the physical mechanisms underlying the various reactivity coefficients, and the calibration procedures for control rods. A final chapter is devoted to the licensing and safety evaluation of power reactors.
Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) Fusion
George H. Miley and S. Krupakar Murali
This book provides readers with an introductory understanding of Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC), a type of fusion meant to retain plasma using an electrostatic field. IEC provides a unique approach for plasma confinement, as it offers a number of spin-off applications, such as a small neutron source for Neutron Activity Analysis (NAA), that all work towards creating fusion power. The IEC has been identified in recent times as an ideal fusion power unit because of its ability to burn aneutronic fuels like p-B11 as a result of its non-Maxwellian plasma dominated by beam-like ions. This type of fusion also takes place in a simple mechanical structure small in size, which also contributes to its viability as a source of power. This book posits that the ability to study the physics of IEC in very small volume plasmas makes it possible to rapidly investigate a design to create a power-producing device on a much larger scale. Along with this hypothesis the book also includes a conceptual experiment proposed for demonstrating breakeven conditions for using p-B11 in a hydrogen plasma simulation.This book also:Offers an in-depth look, from introductory basics to experimental simulation, of Inertial Electrostatic Confinement, an emerging method for generating fusion powerDiscusses how the Inertial Electrostatic Confinement method can be applied to other applications besides fusion through theoretical experiments in the textDetails the study of the physics of Inertial Electrostatic Confinement in small-volume plasmas and suggests that their rapid reproduction could lead to the creation of a large-scale power-producing devicePerfect for researchers and students working with nuclear fusion, Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) Fusion: Fundamentals and Applications also offers the current experimental status of IEC research, details supporting theories in the field and introduces other potential applications that stem from IEC.
