The decision to rent your first apartment or house is a big one! Parents, RAs, or housemothers have taken care of many things that are now your own responsibility. Living in an apartment is a great step for learning how to manage your own household, and here are some tips that may make it easier for you!
K-State's Office of Student Life reminds you that safety for you and your roommates should be a primary concern. Clarify with everyone in the apartment what safety precautions you will all take.
Don't rely on security chains. They won't keep out criminals, so demand deadbolt locks on solid-core doors.
Use a sturdy piece of wood or metal to block the track of your sliding glass door. Sliding doors are easy to break into.
Because standard window locks are easy to pop loose, ask your landlord to strengthen them with bolts.
Find out when the locks on your apartment were last changed.
Hang curtains, blinds, or shades and close them at night.
Put only your apartment number and your last name on your mailbox.
Use a timer to turn on lights every evening when you're away for a long period of time.
Post emergency numbers and your address on your telephones. Many people forget their addresses during emergencies.
This is probably the first time you and your friends have been totally responsible for paying utility bills, managing energy use, or even making sure the garbage is collected for weekly pickup! Here are a few suggestions about making ends meet and living inexpensively.
Make a list of your monthly bills and the approximate amounts and be sure to include this in your monthly budget! You and your roommates should work out a system of how to share the payments and whose responsibility it is to get them paid on time. Posting a list of who owes what on the fridge can be a helpful tool, so that everyone knows the amounts and the due dates. This can work with other responsibilities around the apartment as well. You may want to divide up cleaning or trash chores by week as well.
No one wants to spend more than they have to on utility bills! There are some things you can do to keep your bills to a manageable level, and help the environment as well.
Turn off the lights whenever you are leaving a room for an extended period. If you're going in an out in a matter of minutes, it may cost more to shut the lights off and on, but if you're leaving for an hour or for the day, be sure all unnecessary lights are turned off. You should also look into replacing standard light bulbs with the more energy efficient ones available now.
Look around for other devices that are using lots of electricity. When you leave the apartment, turn off the fans, TV, radios, etc. They may not use much electricity, but over days and months, it does add up.
Try to find a comfortable temperature that everyone can agree on for both warm and cold weather! Your heating and cooling will probably be the biggest monthly bills you pay, so think about keeping the temperature a little cooler in the winter, and a little warmer in the summer. If you're all leaving for the weekend, or a long break, don't turn the air conditioner or heater off completely, as it could cause damage in the apartment! Do, however, adjust it so that it isn't running so much when no one is at home.
You may be able to lower your bills by managing your windows and the amount of cold or heat they let in. Check with your local home improvement stores about covering the windows with a plastic film that will allow light in, but will keep the heat from coming through so much in the summer months, and the cold from going OUT in the winter. There may also be leaks that let cold air through in the winter. Look for ways to block off cold drafts that let in the winter chill and keep your heating bills high.
Don't let the water run unnecessarily! You will pay for the amount of water you use each month, so look for ways to be less wasteful with your water. Take shorter showers, soak your dishes first so you won't have to scrub them under the running water, and turn the water off while you brush your teeth! You'll be saving water and money.
Landlords should be available to fix most of the things that go wrong. If you have landlord problems or need help interpreting the legal speak of apartment codes, contact K-State's Consumer and Tenant Affairs at 532-6541.
Living on your own can be an exciting and important part of becoming an adult. Staying safe in your new living space, and learning how to make it work financially will make it a positive experience for you!

Be very clear when defining objectives, that is, the name of the job or job title you’re qualified for. Try to be specific, and avoid general terms such as: I am seeking a Management position. That is OK, but what kind of Management position are you seeking? Marketers signal in on one product at a time and so will you!
You’ll hit the bull’s eye when you start defining objectives through a precise career direction, put that down on paper. When your prospective employer will read it, they should have no doubt that you’re seeking the exact job that they need filled.
After starting your resume with your contact information, your next section will clearly start with your job objectives. Once your prospective employer can see that what you bring to the table is exactly what they want, they will continue to scan for more.
Employers separate the wheat from the chaff quite quickly. They will be looking for objectives that will meet with their own expectations. They know there are many prospects out there that really do not know what they want.
Employers are not looking for these types of people. So your objective must convey that you will make the kind of contributions to the company that they need and want.
Bear in mind, also, that an employer is looking for a candidate who will meet their own needs, and not just for one who is looking to meet his or her own goals and agenda.
Your goal can be to offer this company your unique skills and experience, but, the key is in putting that forward in a way that proves you are there to service them and not the other way around.
Your resume must grab them within the first few seconds, so, your objectives must be dynamite! Clearly state the job title you’re going for and then add a few key phrases to show you’ll meet their exact needs...more on this later.

Our 2018 International Chordoma Community Conference in Boston brought together more than 100 patients, family members, doctors, and researchers from 7 countries to learn about the latest advances in chordoma research and treatment, share insights and experiences with one another, and make lasting connections with peers.
In addition, we had more than 50 people join us via live stream, to watch the conference throughout the day. Videos of the conference sessions are now available on our YouTube channel.
As you watch the videos you will have the opportunity to learn from more than 20 research, treatment, and patient care experts – as well as fellow chordoma survivors. We think you will particularly enjoy the Ask the Experts session, featuring a panel of leading chordoma doctors, and closing remarks from Ed Les, a chordoma patient and member of our Community Advisory Board.
You can watch the whole conference on our YouTube channel, or pick and choose individual sessions from the playlist. We encourage you not only to watch the videos, but also to share them with family or friends who may be interested. Below are some highlights from the conference sessions, along with the videos where you can find them.
Medical oncologist, Dr. Chris Heery, and chordoma patient, Bill Dorland, PhD, discussed best practices for treating recurrent and advanced chordoma, the importance of the doctor/patient relationship, and the necessity of advocating for yourself as a patient. Dr. Heery has treated numerous patients experiencing recurrences and, as a patient, Bill has navigated treatment for multiple recurrences.
Until recently, there were no guidelines for how chordoma recurrences should be treated. But in 2017, the Chordoma Global Consensus Group published recommendations for treating recurrent chordoma in the medical journal, Annals of Oncology. Dr. Heery encouraged any patient dealing with a recurrence to learn about these recommendations, and then get multiple opinions on how to approach treatment. Each patient’s situation will be different as far as how the guidelines are applied, in large part because of what treatments a patient has already received. Treatment options for recurrence may include high-dose or low-dose radiation, surgery, ablation therapies, clinical trials, off-label systemic therapies, or even watching and waiting.
Chordoma experts answered patient and caregiver questions on diagnosis, treatment best practices, and advances in chordoma research during a panel session that was moderated by Dr. Edward Les, who is both a chordoma survivor and an emergency physician. Questions from the chordoma community were submitted in advance and live questions were taken from conference attendees.
The panel got started with a question about whether any chordoma cases should be treated with surgery alone, without radiation. The experts agreed that there is no one right answer to this question and that each patient’s situation needs to be evaluated independently. Dr. DeLaney stressed the importance of trying to “do everything to control the tumor at the initial treatment and then … weigh the risk of recurrence against the morbidity of radiation therapy.” This was followed up by Dr. Gokaslan’s comment above that the patient, their surgeon, and their radiation oncologist should always work together to determine the best treatment plan.
Radiation was also a popular topic of discussion for the panel, beginning with a question about the rationale for pre- and post-op radiation. Dr. Chen shared information about how radiation given before surgery can help control seeding, and that she and her colleagues are beginning to use this approach more often with certain patients. In the comment above, Dr. DeLaney made note of the importance of a radiation therapist’s chordoma experience.

Dr. Ed Les is a chordoma patient, was an inaugural member of the CF Board of Directors, and is a current member of the CF Community Advisory Board. Ed closed out the day with an emotional and impactful presentation. He shared a collection of his favorite quotes and how they relate to his personal experiences with chordoma, and he called on the chordoma community to continue contributing to research to advance the search for a cure. There were both laughter and tears as he shared how chordoma rocked his world to the core and began with his wife prevailing upon him to get an MRI when the pain in his neck persisted for several years. His journey with chordoma has included multiple recurrences, multiple surgeries, and multiple systemic therapies. He stressed that “in every person a cancer diagnosis is a different thing” and that everyone gets to choose how they respond. Ed has chosen to “keep on swimming and going forward,” and he expressed his hope that others will join him and the Chordoma Foundation in persevering in the fight against chordoma.

The Internet has become a powerful tool for reaching consumers. Major companies have turned to the World Wide Web not only for selling their products, but providing information and support to their customers.
It has become almost a requirement for any modern business to have a web presence. Even having simple informational website increases exposure and provides potential customers with an opportunity to learn about that business.
Yet simply having a website is not enough. The website must appeal to the appropriate audience, provide them with the information they seek, and build their trust. And above all, it must stand out from a host of competitors. Only then can a business website be considered a success.

It's good news or bad, depending on what kind of GPU you own.
The Assassin's Creed: Origins 1.03 patch is now live, and for Nvidia owners the news appears to be good, as our early testing indicates a performance increase in the neighborhood of 10-15 percent over what it offered out of the gate. People with AMD GPUs, on the other hand, don't appear to be so lucky.
While GTX 1080 Ti numbers jumped considerably, the numbers on an RX Vega 64 stayed almost the same, and actually slipped very slightly at some settings.
Bear in mind that this is all based on early testing, and so shouldn't be taken as carved-in-stone proof of problems. It's also only from one system, and a new Coffee Lake build at that. But a number of Ubisoft forum users have said that the update has made only a minimal improvement, or none at all, as well. There are also a few complaints about crashes that have begun occurring since the patch rolled out: One user says he can't make it 15 minutes without a hard crash.
We're continuing to investigate the situation and we've reached out to Ubisoft for more information about the update, whether or not it's aware of the persisting issues, and what comes next. We'll update if and when we receive a reply. The full patch notes are available on the Ubisoft forums.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is most often described as a childhood disorder but is more recently considered a problem that has consequences throughout ones lifetime. This article describes the disorder as it is primarily seen in children. ADHD is often called ADD, but techinically, this actual doagnosis according to the diagnostic manual is ADHD, primarily innattentive type. Other “types” include primarily hyperactive, meaning behavior shows overactivity, and “combined” type which shows both hyperactivity and difficulties with concentration and attention.
ADHD as described by The DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual- IV) includes either symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity with at least six symptoms in either area. Symptoms of inattention include: problems listening, following through on instructions, organizing work or activities, forgetfulness, reluctance or distaste of tasks that require sustained attention, and loosing things that are required for tasks or activities. Symptoms of hyperactivity include: general inability to sit still, fidgeting, problems playing quietly, driven behavior, and excessive talking. Impulsivity includes problems with blurting out answers, problems waiting turn and interrupting or intruding on others. Young children may be naturally more prone to hyperactive and impulsive behavior- so the criteria should have an onset prior to age 7 and should continue beyond that age and should create impairment in two or more areas at a clinically significant level.
ADHD is often difficult to distinguish from anxiety or oppositional behavior for a couple of reasons. First, children with ADHD often have co-morbid symptoms of anxiety and oppositional behavior. Second, anxiety and oppositional behavior often “look like” ADHD and can become confusing when presented by a parent or teacher who has already made up their mind the child has ADHD.
The following are two brief vignettes that one may see in clinical practice. This is an example of what behaviors might be observed in day-to-day life.
Little Johnny’s mother describes him as “very hyper”. She says that Johnny “is always moving, never sits on the couch but climbs all over it, and won’t stop talking”. Furthermore, his teacher says that he can’t stay in his seat for more than a few minutes, always butts in line when going to the lunchroom and he yells at the other children to hurry when playing a game. He often tries to play out of turn. Johnny is currently 12 and he has been having increasing problems for the past several years.
Billy is 10. His mother also describes him as “very hyper”. He does not like to go to bed at night and often puts up a fight. He does not play well with other children. He is impatient and often yells and fights with them. Billy does not listen when told to do his chores and he can’t seem to follow instructions given by the teacher. He is failing in school. He has been having these problems for some time.
In this example, Billy may have ADHD, inattentive type. However, the diagnostic criteria are not met. He may be oppositional based on his refusal to go to bed and fighting and he may be refusing to follow instructions rather than having trouble attending to them. If he is fearful of going to bed, he may suffer from anxiety, night terrors or he may simply be afraid of the dark. Often, anxious children may have trouble sitting still. School failure may be due to a specific Learning Disorder or reading problem and the course of the disorder is not clear from the description. This description might meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, Not Otherwise Specified, but the symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity-Impulsivity must be differentiated from anxiety, oppositional behavior and learning disorders. It is possible that these other symptoms are co-morbid with ADHD. An important question clinically may be: are oppositional and anxiety symptoms primary or secondary to ADHD.

Expertise - Waynesboro Construction Company, Inc.
We’ve been perfecting our craft for more than 100 years.
We bring experience, integrity, and dedication to every project.
As a leader in commercial construction in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, we offer a comprehensive range of construction services from Pre-Construction to Construction Contracting. We help to evaluate design alternatives, recommend more cost-effective materials, and present cost saving construction approaches. Our practicality and experience make a positive difference. Teamwork is critical to the success of each and every project. Take a look at our impressive portfolio.
In the business for more than 100 years, and our team members deliver high quality results.
With our ability to solve complex building issues, we’re the team of experts you need.
Our clients have trust in us because we’re reliable, accountable, and we deliver beyond their expectations.
Waynesboro Construction offers services beyond just the construction of your project. Our comprehensive pre-construction services include everything from preliminary budgeting to design team coordination for clients in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
We can manage the conceptual design process and prepare preliminary budgets and financial feasibility analysis (Pro Forma) to insure the proposed project meets the financial goals and constraints imposed by the Owner.
Conduct detailed property assessments and due diligence investigations to reduce the probability of expensive unforeseen conditions.
We can suggest, interview and assist in the engagement of design and engineering professionals, and work with the selected team to insure design element coordination.
Compare construction methods and materials, balancing architectural style against economy of construction and performance/durability of materials.
Suggest the best approach to construction sequencing and ways to expedite project completion.
Review of the proposed project design, material and equipment selections, and construction methods, to provide suggestions which may lead to cost savings.
Provide assistance in filing for building permits, including tracking the plan approval process.
Waynesboro Construction acts as a General Contractor on both private and public construction markets in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Our General Contracting experience using the traditional Design-Bid-Build method dates back to the Company’s establishment in 1899. Projects can be executed based on a Lump Sum Price, Cost Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, or simply based on actual Cost Plus a Fee when the scope of the project is still in flux.
Design-Build is a method of project delivery in which one entity – the Design-Build Team – works under a single contract with the project Owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work, from initial concept through completion. This method of project delivery has many advantages, including seamless team communication and cooperation, and single source responsibility for cost control and on-time delivery.
Similar to Design/Build, with the exception of the Owner contracting directly for design services, this project delivery method uses a team approach to integrate the expertise of the contractor into the pre-construction aspects of the project. The early involvement of the contractor brings communication and cost control efficiency to the selection of construction methods and materials, sequencing and scheduling, and ultimately project execution.
One of our key strengths is our ability to self-perform work using our own experienced and quality conscious work force; most of whom have decades of commercial construction experience. We take care of, and value, our employees and they in turn, take pride in the work they do for our clients.
No matter the selected form of project delivery, Waynesboro Construction prides itself on its reputation for honesty and open communication, and track record for exceeding Owner expectations.
If you’d like to discuss how Waynesboro Construction can help bring your project from concept to completion, please contact us.
With any large construction project, there can be unforeseen issues. Waynesboro Construction worked quickly with architects and city officials to resolve any issues that arose, so they didn’t impact the schedule. The project superintendent was very customer-service oriented and understood what needed to happen to get the job done smoothly and on time. And we’re very pleased with the final product!

Last December 7th, Aztec High School experienced a horrible and tragic event when a young man who had attended our school more than five years earlier walked on our campus and took the lives of Casey Jordan Marquez and Francisco “Paco” Fernandez. The active shooter event lasted a little more than seven minutes; the shooter took his own life seconds before the police arrived on scene. Our heroic local police department responded to our call for help within four minutes and emergency responders from all corners of San Juan County, N.M., assisted with the subsequent release of lockdown, campus evacuation, and reunification with families.
In the subsequent year, our local sheriff’s department and the FBI have conducted investigations looking at the crime from numerous angles. From these investigations, and from our shared perspective, the leaders in our district have learned much about what carried us through that day.
For instance, we know that the shooter planned a far worse death count. Casey and Paco innocently surprised the gunman as he was preparing to carry out his plan; those first shots alerted staff to secure classrooms and signal a campuswide lockdown. Following lockdown training and radio communication prevented the gunman’s attempt to enter two classrooms.
In short, our staff was heroic. And while our fidelity to protocol was not perfect, training and communication saved lives that day. Even an imperfect recall of training is better than not having trained at all. I don’t think that I’ll ever look at even the most routine safety training with a lax perspective again.
As I write this essay, our student leadership, staff, and I are in the middle of planning how the school will structure the one-year anniversary of our tragedy. We will never forget the precious lives lost that day or the heroic response from our community. As a whole, the kids have been resilient and inspiring in the way they have begun to use their collective voice to call for unity and mutual support as a way through our ongoing recovery. From a principal’s personal perspective, I have far more advice to share on what has gotten me through the past 12 months of community rebuilding than I would ever be able to say about that day a year ago.
I have learned that after a tragedy, a principal needs to be prepared to deal with a wide variety of opinions and perspectives on how the school should respond and change in the wake of what has happened.
How does one lead a school when strong voices and weak voices in the community all need to be heard long before a plan is put into place? How does one deal with the reality that some decisions are not going to be left to the site leadership alone? How does a leader deal with his or her own self-doubt while seeking to listen to and empower others who are just as traumatized by events? Three very personal lessons come to mind that I can share with my professional peers.
Lesson one: Remember that you’re not in it alone. Delegating power and releasing control are traits that principals often should nurture. The daily perspectives we deal with are already numerous and most principals I’ve met are pretty good at leading as coalition-builders. After a school tragedy, it is natural that the building principal is someone that people want to check in with about big decisions on the school’s response. Make sure to regularly connect with others in your sphere of influence and chain of command to hear crucial perspectives for when your input is requested or your leadership needed.
Lesson two: Work to keep the kids front and center. Support a clear structure for listening to the kids’ wants and needs as decisions are being made, and be prepared to incorporate student voices that feel left out. Just like the adults in our communities, the kids with the strongest voices are likely to be the first to surface and advocate. And, like a good teacher who structures a solid classroom discussion on a contentious topic, a principal needs to formalize the discussion and encourage various participants to listen to one another so that even the quiet voices have an opportunity to be heard.
Lesson three: Reconnect with the reasons why you do this job. Self-doubt can definitely creep in as day-to-day decisionmaking and school management demands attention long before a leader has adequately had time to address his or her own mental wellness. Accepting help from mental-health professionals is just as important for the leader as it is for everyone else after a tragedy.
On a purely personal level, I’ve come to understand the need to stay in tune with my spiritual core so that I can continue in a profession that I believe is my life calling. In the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul reminds us that we can do all things through Him who strengthens us. Reconnecting with the “why” in what I do has been very important to me. If that divine grace was good enough for a great man of faith like Paul, then it is certainly good enough for me.

There are societal benefits of renewable methane produced through gasification and methanation of biomass and waste, bioSNG, in all the steps of the value chain, i.e. production, distribution and utilization.
Production: BioSNG has the highest conversion efficiency, from feedstock to final product, of all second generation biofuels and hence provides a resource efficient way to convert indigenous feedstock to a high quality transport fuel.
Distribution: Since bioSNG is miscible with natural gas in any proportion it can be distributed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way through the existing natural gas grid. The bioSNG produced in the GoBiGas plant is injected into the high pressure grid in Gothenburg.
Utilization: The versatility and the low combustion emissions make bioSNG an attractive renewable fuel not only within the transportation sector but also for efficient heat and power production and in industrial processes where clean and efficient combustion is required.
Other societal benefits: The greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced when bioSNG replace fossil fuels and for countries like Sweden with vast biomass resources the bioSNG route offers several other benefits such as increased security of supply, regional development and new job opportunities.

We all spend a little too long looking at screens. It’s inevitable, in a sense. So much of life is now found online. It is often the grumble of the older generation that people are now constantly looking at their phones, but there’s a good reason for that. Our entire lives can be on our phone. They are now our Filofax, our life management systems, how we connect with our doctors, portals that allow us to socialize with our friends, make plans and even sometimes (shockingly!) make phone calls - it’s not inane to be on your phone. It’s a vital part of modern life.
The above is true of adults, at least - but should it be true of children?
On some levels, the argument is a flat no - some parents don’t believe their kids should have any access to screens of any nature. Others go the opposite way, and say it’s nonsense, allowing their kids to spend as long looking at their phone as they choose. The truth is found somewhere in the middle; screen exposure is not an inherently bad thing, so long as it’s in moderation.
Many parents have struggled with the balance for what could be considered moderation. Kids like to use their phones the way that adults do, so it can almost feel hypocritical to be trying to part them from their screens. However, one of the benefits of parenting is being able to lean on the tried and tested: “do as I say, not as I do”!
There’s so many different hobbies available to children that it’s almost impossible to list them, but encourage your kids to experiment until they find one they like (and gaming, for this purpose, doesn’t really count).
Ideally, a physical hobby would be great, but it can be time-consuming if you have to go with them. Look for things like building model plane kits or any form of craft; it’s a little bit old school, but that doesn’t mean they won’t enjoy it.
Both in terms of playing and watching, encouraging your child into loving a sport can be rewarding. Of course, the watching would ideally be in person by attending matches or events, which can even be made into family fun. It could be the next March Madness that encourages your kids to take an interest, or something more broad like taking a trip to attend CONCACAF Gold Cup games to see how the USA do. Whatever it is, attending a big event is a great way to separate eyes from screens and make memories the whole family can enjoy.
If given the chance, kids - like adults - will stare at the TV or their phones until something more interesting comes along. This means half the time we’re not watching something we actually love; we’re doing it because it’s there. If you give your kids one hour of TV time, they will use it to engage with something they actively care about rather than just whatever is available. This way, all screen time is ultimately productive, even if it’s just in the sense that they enjoy it more.

Imagine this tactic: organize a large group of your co-workers to call in sick at once to make your already generous boss pay his employees more than he has to offer. Disrupt his business until he meets at least some of your demands.
Hundreds of members of the Boulder Valley Education Association (BVEA) did just that, participating in a widespread “sick-out” in May to demand their school district change its proposed new salary schedule. Perhaps they forgot their employer’s generosity because they didn’t ask the district to spend its money more wisely, only to give them more.
One doesn’t have to look back far to see the gains in earnings that Boulder Valley School District teachers have made. In 1994-95 a newly hired teacher made $21,605. A teacher hired to start this fall is guaranteed $30,096. The nearly 40-percent increase in base salary is well ahead of the past decade’s 26-percent inflationary growth.
According to the most recent statistics available from the Colorado Department of Education, the average Boulder Valley teacher earned $48,952 in salary during 2002-03-third-highest among the state’s 178 school districts, behind only Aspen and Cherry Creek. A Boulder Valley teacher with a masters’ degree and 10 years experience makes nearly $50,000 in salary for 37 weeks of work.
When the Boulder Valley School District proposed diminishing raises to some experienced teachers’ pay in order to raise newer teachers’ salaries more substantially, 900 of the district’s 1,700 teachers organized to call in sick.
On May 17, 90 percent of the district’s Broomfield High School teachers were absent. Several elementary schools were still missing a majority of teachers three days later. Some teachers were still out the following week. BVEA President Mike Altenbern said teachers would go on a full-fledged strike before accepting the district’s proposal.
In contrast with the district’s offer, the union had proposed to increase the base salary to $36,000 and compress the salary schedule so the district’s most educated teachers could make the maximum $73,393 after 15 years of service rather than waiting for 27 years.
But their employer’s financial straits kept them from accepting that proposal. The district had already designated all $3.1 million of the additional state revenues brought in by Amendment 23 to finance employee salary and benefit increases. And the district had maxed out its local funding capacity through mill levy overrides in 1998 and 2002.
The Boulder Valley Board of Education had recently revised its operating budget policy to ensure excess revenues could only fund one-time expenditures and not ongoing programs or expenses. The district simply could not meet the union’s salary demands without cutting educational programs or curing other inefficiencies. But the protesters didn’t demand fewer programs or more efficient spending-they only wanted more money for the salary schedule.
Nine days after the “sick-out” began, the two sides reached a compromise that required Boulder Valley to pay the same amount for salary increases as it had originally designated. However, the district abandoned its original restructuring plan in favor of giving every teacher a one-percent salary increase.
Although the agreement raised teacher salaries at a rate lower than inflation, the union won future concessions. The agreement created a task force of district and union representatives assigned to forge an entirely new salary schedule for the 2005-06 school year.
According to the agreement’s terms, Boulder Valley teachers are guaranteed at least a cost-of-living pay increase for 2005-06. The district has also committed to spend any new state funds on increases in employee health insurance premiums.
Though fairly treated and generously paid, many teachers chose to act inconsiderately. The concerted “sick-out” left students, parents, administrators, and fellow teachers in the lurch. But the action also clearly violated the terms of the teachers’ contract.
Many Boulder Valley teachers disregarded the terms of the current contract while claiming that the district was not negotiating the new contract in good faith. In order to restore good order and fair dealings to the bargaining table, district administrators should consider disciplining those responsible for the “sick-out”.

What is the relation of the state to God? How can a man be both a "political animal" and a follower of Christ? These enduring questions are considered in-depth in this carefully selected volume of the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas, among the most influential of the medieval philosophers, is recognized for synthesizing Christian theology with Aristotelian metaphysics and providing a philosophical defense of Christianity addressed to the non-Christian reader. This selection specifically focuses on Aquinas's concepts of politics, justice, social conflicts, and the impact they have on society.
Bigongiari's explanatory notes and helpful glossary of unusual terms make this volume the best introduction to Aquinas's political thought ever published.

Education for Nepal’s impoverished children!
We believe in the power of knowledge and education to make this world a better place for every single person. We believe that every single soul deserves the opportunity to live, dream, and have the ability to make those dreams reality. We believe there are enough resources worldwide to support every living thing, if we live responsibly. We believe that every sentient being has basic rights and we cherish every person’s individuality, diversity, and uniqueness, as demonstrated through religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, race, ethnic background, and culture.
It’s been 3 years since the deadly earthquakes of 2015 devastated Nepal. Homes, schools, businesses, and other infrastructure were destroyed or damaged.
While many in the world community donated to help, little support has reached those who need it most, as funds have not been disbursed to most households. Many families still live in temporary structures, without running water and electricity. They are still lacking in daily necessities. It is estimated that 770,000 families will go through another winter in temporary structures. In the village, Sankhu, the local government maintains a registry of all families affected by the earthquake. From this list, 250 children were identified as needing educational support. Most of these children live in temporary structures without running water or electricity; many of them are lacking daily necessities!
This is your chance to help a child’s future and invest in the dreams of this under privileged, struggling community! Please donate today!
Or, consider sponsoring a child in need!
*Receive a hand written letter from your sponsored child, periodic reports on the child’s educational progress, go on a tour of the school via video chat with Prakash, and monthly chat with the child facilitated by Prakash.  All contact with sponsored child subject to parental approval and always in the presence of our volunteer and one parent and/or teacher!
Students are listed below whom your donations will help. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Like a work of art, right?
Bittermelon, a member of the cucumber family, is not very well known in the United States. But all over Asia, as well as South and Central America, it's a popular ingredient in stir-fries, soups, stews, curries and teas.
The list of health benefits attributed to bittermelon is almost too long to type here. Probably the most researched benefit is the way that bittermelon can improve insulin resistance and thereby blood glucose levels, making it a terrific whole-food tool for people with diabetes. Other benefits include clearer skin, improved weight management (connected to that blood sugar balancing!), better digestion, and even fewer kidney stones. The only people that can't benefit from adding some bittermelon to their diets are pregnant women--bittermelon is contraindicated in pregnancy, as it can induce contractions.
As its name indicates, it's incredibly bitter. More bitter, probably, than almost anything you've ever eaten. A lot of people don't like it for that reason--which is understandable.
Consider, however, that in Chinese nutritional therapy and the Chinese culinary arts, each meal should present a balance of the five flavors: bland (or mildly sweet, as in rice or carrots), sour, salty, pungent, and bitter. The traditional Western diet features those first four flavors pretty regularly, but bitter? Not so much.
We have coffee, and that's bitter. We have, well, bitters, and Campari, at every well-stocked bar. There's certainly a degree of bitterness in some dark leafy greens, like dandelion greens and older kale, but not a whole lot of it.
What the bitter flavor does in a traditional Chinese medical context is tonify and clear heat from the heart and drain dampness from the entire system. The patient that would benefit from eating more bitter foods might manifest some of the following symptoms: anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes, trouble losing weight, a chronically stuffy or runny nose, and water retention. Because of its strongly bitter flavor, bittermelon excels at treating all of those symptoms.
So where can you get this miraculous food? Well, typically Asian markets will carry it year-round. Like cucumbers, bittermelons are harvested in the summer months, so if you have a local farm stand, you might want to ask in the early spring if the farmer could grow it. Or you could grow it yourself, if you have garden space for a vigorous, vining plant. I've had a hard time getting it started in the garden, but I know people who have grown it with no trouble at all.
The farmer that we buy our strawberries from in the summer grows bittermelon, so I buy a bunch in summer, pith and slice them, and freeze them in sealed packets to eat all year.
Cooking bittermelon is a pretty simple process, very much like cooking a bell pepper: you slice the bittermelon in half lengthwise, scoop out the pith and seeds with a spoon, slice the remaining outer shell into lovely scalloped little half-moons, and sautee them till they're tender. I like to scramble them with eggs, soy sauce and sriracha. I've also appreciated them stuffed with pork and served in a gingery broth.
Below is one of my favorite-ever bittermelon recipes. (Note for those of you who avoid gluten: If you make it with tamari instead of soy sauce, it's gluten-free.) I hope you enjoy it.
Put the mung bean thread nests in a bowl of water to soak.
Wash and slice the bitter melon in half lengthways. Scoop out all the seeds and membranes with a spoon and discard.
-Slice the bittermelon thinly and set aside.
-Heat a heavy pan or wok on high, then place 1 tbsp of oil in the wok. When the oil gets hot, add beef and saute for one minute--it should sizzle. Remove the beef from the hot pan and set aside.
-Add 1 more tbsp of oil in the wok and briefly fry the garlic and then add the onions and continue frying for about 2 minutes.
-Add the beef back in the wok. Keep stirring for 1 minute.
-Add the bitter melon, stir fry for 2 minutes, then add the tamari and stir.
-Add water from the to cover about half an inch up the pan (approx 1/3 cup depending on the size of the pan or wok).
-When the liquid is simmering, make a little well in the mixture. Remove the mung bean threads from the water they've been soaking in and add them to the pan. Cook, stirring continuously, till the threads are soft and translucent.
I like to add a dash of sesame oil to my own serving. This what I call comfort food.

Well I haven’t updated this blog in a while; this is just a quick one to announce part 2 of the Traktor beatgridding tutorial; this one focuses on drum n bass and dubstep tracks. At first these tracks seem a lot harder to grid than house music - and they often are - but the exact same principles apply. Both of these styles are notoriously rigid in their structure and time signature — you’re almost always dealing with heavily syncopated 4/4 beats. This is not the best video — my speaking skills here are testament to why you should always write a script first rather than ad libbing — but hopefully some folks will find it helpful. Enjoy!
Here’s a plug for the latest release from Kumquat while it’s still fresh and tasty — the Sarah-Palin-sampledelic “redheaded sasquatch for jesus” incorporates dubstep and drum n bass styles (and tempos) in a manner that will be enjoyed by VPILFs and flurges alike. Enjoy….

Due to this sport success with St. Vincent’s, I decided to expand this “sport idea” and right away started to work on this -School-. Thing’s didn’t happen as quickly as I though. Took two years until a Club came forward in 2012. This was the GARDA RFC/Alfie Ancheson-President, that open the door’s to us. We thank enormously the GARDA RFC, our home today and Philip Lawlor – Provincial Development Manager – Leinster Rugby for their support.
Our School is open to all members of the Society with Special Needs that want to learn playing Tag Rugby.
We used the word F.I.R.S.T. that stands for: “Fun” + “Individualism” + “Rules” + “Simplicity” + “Time Management”, method of training. Our players are comprised by Jr’s (U-15) and Sr’s (0-15), we have both sexes’ players, the ages are from seven years old to thirty five years and we also cater for wheel chairs. The Coach Co-ordinator and the Coaching Staff working on MOTOR SKILLS -TEAM WORK and CO-ORDINATION INDIVIDUALLY.
On the 15th of December 2012, Saturday, the eve of Leinster Vs. ASM Clermont Auvergne, The Westmanstown Tagger’s were invited together with another 3 Teams to parade around the AVIVA pitch – Stadium. The 12th of January 2013, The Westmanstown Tagger’s played a Tag Rugby match against “Greystones Seagulls” at half time in the RDS.

New York, NY – June 6, 2016: Teads, the inventor of outstream video and the number 1 video advertising marketplace in the world, today announced it has established a brand new accreditation program to equip media buyers with the latest turnkey knowledge and training in outstream video advertising, one of the fastest growing advertising solutions in the market. According to a recent Teads survey, nearly 70% of brand professionals agree outstream will grow significantly over the next two years.
Teads invented outstream, an in-article native video solution, to address the lack of premium video inventory available in the industry and deliver more creative ads that are better positioned to attract the attention of consumers. Unlike pre-roll, which is a forced and intrusive advertising experience, outstream ads reach consumers on premium editorial websites in a user-friendly way. Teads’ outstream video marketplace brings together both quality and scale, reaching 1.2 billion unique users on the best media sites. All publishers on the marketplace have a direct contractual relationship with Teads using Teads’ outstream ad server and SSP so there is no 3rd party supply.
With the outstream accreditation program, Teads will leverage its deep expertise and vast knowledge of how best to optimize outstream campaigns to ensure advertisers are well-equipped to handle the unique requirements which must be taken into account when planning and buying the format.
The hands-on, educational program can be accessed through a half-day training session and will result in an outstream video certificate. Teads will provide in-depth training to agencies and trading desks to cover how outstream fits into the overall media mix, how to read and evaluate outstream metrics compared to other video formats, step by step instructions on how to buy outstream programmatically via your DSP, and the latest video insights and case studies from the number 1 outstream provider in the world.
To get involved with Teads’ Programmatic Outstream Video Accreditation Program, please visit: http://teads.tv/teads-programmatic-outstream-video-accreditation/.
Teads, founded in 2011, is the inventor of outstream video and the number 1 video advertising marketplace in the world. Publishers work with Teads to create brand new video inventory and manage their existing inventory, monetizing it through programmatic buying, their own sales force, or third parties.
Teads has a team of over 450 employees, 100 of which are in the innovation team, across 26 offices in 18 countries.

What can I say about this film? I was completely and unexpectedly bowled over. This was such a poignant and moving film that I cannot recommend it enough.
Frank took in baby Mary when his sister, a math genius, committed suicide. He vowed that he would give Mary a ‘normal’ life, away from all the pressures that a child prodigy has to endure.
The film opens with Mary having to attend primary school, as Frank has exhausted any home schooling he can do. Mary, understandably, stands out as a tad more intelligent than the rest of the class.
Frank turns down a scholarship to a ‘gifted’ school for Mary, citing his promise to his sister as the reason. Somehow (and this is never explained) his mother gets wind of Mary’s talent and swoops in to try and take her away and give her the life a ‘gifted’ child should have…..in her opinion.
What Frank’s mother, Evelyn, fails to note, is that her daughter committed suicide due to the pressures put upon her by her gift and also, in my opinion, by an overbearing mother.
The film charts the battle between Frank and Evelyn over Mary and it highlights the damage that can be done by a pushy parent, who is only focused on the child’s talent and not on the child itself. This is a theme that is prevalent in society today and it can be so destructive.
There is a way to give a gifted child a ‘normal’ life as well as encouraging and developing that gift and we see this in the conclusion to the film.
The filmmakers pushed all the right buttons for me and had me rooting for Frank and hoping his way won in the end. Whether it did, you’ll have to see for yourself!

Premier Kathleen Wynne wanted change when she put the Ontario Fair Housing Plan into effect, and change has certainly followed—though at this point, with the housing market now in a state of flux, it's not exactly clear how much of a lasting change that will be.
What we know for sure is that, for the second straight month since the Ontario Fair Housing Pan became active on April 20, both sales and prices of GTA homes have dropped. From April to May, sales fell by 12 per cent, and then dropped an additional 21.6 per cent from May to June. Though prices are still up overall from last year in the region, they too dropped in a monthly capacity, slipping six per cent from April to May, and 8.1 more in the May-June period.
This newfound uncertainy is hardly an unexpected consequence of the Ontario government's cooling actions.
"We are in a period of flux that often follows major government policy announcements pointed at the housing market," said Tim Syrianos, president of the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).
The recent precedent, of course, for these sorts of measures is Vancouver, which instituted its own colling measures last year.
"[The GTA] could see a bit of a whipsaw like we did in Vancouver where we experience a pullback now, but a lot of buyers move back into the marketplace over the next year or so," said Jason Mercer, director of market analysis at TREB.
There is one thing that has gone up since the Ontario Fair Housing Plan came into effect though: listings. In the May-June sample listings went up by 15.9 per cent, and this past may, they were up 48.9 per cent on a year-by-year basis. As Syrianos notes, the reason for that uptick may be due to a pressure to sell now.
"We have existing homeowners who are listing their home because they feel price growth may have peaked. The end result has been a better supplied market and a moderating annual pace of price growth," said Syrianos.
If this increased supply holds steady, it could prove key to sustaining some sort of comfortable balance in the housing market for both buyers and sellers, and avoid continuing to feed the bubble that had emerged. Only time will tell if it works out that way.

Our mission is to gather, manage, and distribute assets to promote the work of the gospel within the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
Inspired by faith, leaders of the Church and community wanted to build a charitable organization for endowed funds to be a lasting wellspring of financial support for Catholic ministry within the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. In 1991, The Catholic Foundation was created as a vehicle for donors to include the church in their charitable giving-building a stronger, more vibrant future for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
Because the founders knew it would be important for donors to have professional investment of funds, they formed the Foundation as an independent non-profit corporation that offers ways to establish your legacy that are aligned with your Catholic values and beliefs.
Giving through the Foundation allows your charitable dollars to directly support the Catholic organization or program you choose, giving you peace of mind that your charitable wishes will always be honored.
San Isidro Labrador (St. Isidore the laborer) is the patron saint of farmers, agricultural workers, laborers, livestock, rural communities and Madrid, Spain. He was born to very poor and pious Catholic parents and when he was old enough, he was sent to work for a wealthy landowner. He married Maria de la Cabeza, who was later canonized as San Maria de la Cabeza. San Isdro attended Mass every morning and afternoon, but because of this, he was often late for work. Even though he was late, his ploughing was always completed. His co-workers believed they had witnessed his work being carried out by angels and so held Isidro with great respect.
San Isidro was known for his love of the poor and there are accounts of him supplying the poor miraculously with food. He was canonized in 1622 and is often portrayed as a peasant holding a sickle and a sheaf of corn. Sometimes he is shown with a sickle and staff; as an angel plows for him; or with an angel and white oxen near him. The story of San Isidro is a reminder of the dignity of work, and that ordinary life can lead to holiness. His feast day is May 15.
I want to support the Foundation’s mission.

When this ad first aired on television, I was all but shocked. I thought, surely this can’t be aimed at women? Make an already awkward situation even worse by turning into some kind of sci-fi thriller preview? As if being an alien incubator isn’t creepy enough or having to go buy one and take it to the counter, all the time praying you aren’t pregnant and that the gran behind the register doesn’t make eye contact. Thank god for those new do it yourself lanes.
This ad had to have been done by blokes. And please say for blokes. Then they actually go as far as to show someone “peeing” one it as well. Oh goodness me, I would say this is why we need women in advertising, but then I would hate to be in there and get every feminine product brief that came in.
After a few weeks or so, the ad changed. minimal style, sci-fi cinema, but no “sophisticated peeing” references. Wonder if it was just the normal series change or if anyone complained/got physically ill.
thanks Iain Tate for reminding me of this one and for your idea of how the modern pregnancy test should be.

There's always a first for everything and today I am welcoming you to my first ever blog post, my first website, and my first few steps into 2014!

Here I'll be posting my personal work, tools and tips of the trade in calligraphy and illustration, inspiration, and anything else along those lines. Once my shop is launched, you'll be able to purchase a spot in a calligraphy workshop, a custom address stamp, a print or two, and much more - that'll be up and running later this month! But for now, thank you for your time spent looking at my work and what inspires me!

Teachers. Our Eyes, Ears, and Hearts.

When we were created, God gave us some tools (faculties) to help us navigate through life successfully; each tool is programmed and runs on auto pilot in performing the original task it was created for.
These tools are not ‘You’. They do not define who you are, but how they operate in everything else is totally up to you. You ‘own’ them temporarily and you are held accountable on how you decide to use them. Taming them, looking after them and reprogramming them is your responsibility.
They send you recommendations on how you should feel, think and behave in any given situation.
The quality of these recommendations is actually determined by how well you have been looking after and caring for these faculties.
And the intensity of these recommendations is determined by how much control you exert over them.
The truthfulness and usefulness of these recommendations are determined by how you have been feeling, thinking and behaving lately!
But the final decision you make -wether it is in line with these recommendations or not- is totally up to you!!!!!
Whenever you feel unable to make a decision or to choose a path, or unable to move forward in a certain direction (that you may think you want!), know that there is an internal conflict between two or more of these faculties; they are presenting different conflicting recommendations to you all at once, and you probably feel torn in between!
If excellence and ‘Tamkeen’ in life are desires of yours, you should really claim your control back over all of these faculties. This will guarantee that you really get the best out of them. It will also guarantee that the recommendations they send will truly be in line with what you want.
Integration is key if you want to move forward!
Since everything –well almost everything- is processed inside your brain, it should be a good place to start.
Every ‘part’ of you owns a specific system in your brain to process what this ‘part’ recommends!
‘You’ also reside a certain system inside your brain!!!!
Therefore; ‘You’ are not your brain, ‘You’ are only one system in it!!!!
But you are the Big Boss, the conductor. At least this is who you should be!
Your job as the ‘Boss’ is to dictate your desires and plans to the ‘Parts’ i.e.: set the agenda.
To make sure they pay attention you should reveal the importance and the value of these plans (This is essential for Integration).
And to offer some guidelines (criteria) to the kind of recommendations you are looking for.
And when you start receiving some input -no matter how valuable it is- you should always think it over!
You have three different Brain Systems, each has its own very specific task, and thus their own idea of how your priorities should be arranged and what best serves your interests.
Internal conflict arises when each system insists on performing its task according to its own agenda regardless of what you really want.
This brain system puts your physical safety and wellbeing ahead of anything else. If you –God forbids- have a goal that may seem as a risk to your physical wellbeing in any way, this brain will simply step in and stops you from moving any further.
It will keep sending you urgent recommendations to change your plans, and may even hijack your own behaviour by taking over the control panel of your whole body!!!
If ‘you’ allow that to happen, you will be unable to move forward.
You will be unable to achieve your goal.
This brain is all about looking after you emotionally. It processes and regulates your emotions. This entitles it to make sure you are accepted by the group; that you conform to the social ethical standards of it. To ensure there is a place for you to go to in times of need.
It ‘saves’ all your emotional experiences and regularly checks what you are going through in any given moment to what is already ‘saved’.
It is always on guard in case something might happen to hurt your feelings in anyway. It makes you tense around people you don’t like and relax when you are among the people you know, love and trust. According to this brain, familiar is good, change is BAD.
And since emotions are very versatile and tend to be experienced in a range, this brain doesn’t take the risk of you being mildly upset. It filters everything according to yes/no and either/or. So if you- God forbids again- wish to achieve something that might cause you some frustration, it will try to stop you with all the power it has.
And it does have a lot of power.
The Limbic System is an auditory system, which means that most of all its processing happens in words.
Words that you can hear inside your head!
I often call it العيل الغلس who lives inside your head!!!
The one who always says, ‘It is never going to work’, ‘You will never be able to pull this off’, ‘Why take the risk?’, ‘You will fail, BIG’…etc.
And the tricky part is; the brain wave of this system is very balanced, which means that the voice that you hear inside your head often has a wise quality in it. Sounds like the ‘voice of wisdom’ although what it says is usually unreasonable. Good intention though!!
Giving in to this voice sometimes seems easy and natural, but way too dangerous.
Simply because your ‘habits’ start to materialize and take shape inside this brain.
By blindly accepting its recommendations, you are embracing negativity as a way of being!
Use your Neo-Cortex to challenge it, question it and to think!
This brain system is what makes you ‘human’.
It differentiates you from every other being that walks on this earth.
It has tremendous powers to make your dreams come true, but you truly need to take control of it before your other ‘parts’ do!
It possesses all your skills, strengths, knowledge, capabilities…etc within it and uses them to get the result that is wanted.
It follows orders regardless of who is giving them!
Although it is very strong and powerful, the other two systems tend to bully your Neo-Cortex and turn it off from time to time(sometimes the heart takes over too). This happens especially because ‘you’ as the boss do not really give it its well deserved prestige and respect it genuinely earns.
You don’t use it often!
Imagine all the things you can do if these three systems are on board with your goals and dreams. If they are working for you!
And [by] the self and He who proportioned it. And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness. He has succeeded who purifies it. And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
A well accepted definition is (the totality of sentiments, tendencies, desires, wishes, experiences, impulses, fears, appetites and the heredity characteristics. It is your ego, superego, it is the essence of you, and it is the ‘being’ that lives inside you and makes you who you are).
Sometimes, it is difficult to draw the line between ‘you’ and your ‘self’, but I will try to make it easy for you.
There is a certain part inside your brain that processes what your ‘Self’ desires, wants, wishes, fears…etc everything that your ego recommends or suggests at any given moment rests and ends there. It resides there.
This part does not have the power to act, execute or implement any of these desires or wishes on its own –it only has the power to ‘nag’ :).
Your ‘Self’ has no access to the ‘ENTER’ button inside your brain. This explains why ‘you’ are held accountable to what you decide to do even if it was your ‘Self’ who urged you to do it the first place!
What about ‘You’ then? Who are ‘You’?
The word شَآء (will) makes it easy to draw this line between ‘you’ and your ‘self’, combined with زَكَّٮٰهَا (purifies) in the first verse, we can easily conclude that ‘You’ are شَآء , ‘you’ are زَكَّٮٰهَا, ‘you’ are the one pulling all the strings.
‘You’ are the one in control; ‘you’ are the only one who has access to the ENTER button.
Again, as for someone who is in control- as the Big Boss– you really should pause, take your time and question the recommendations you receive before you press ENTER.
Your ‘Self’; what is it good for????
God certainly didn’t give you a ‘Self’ so you will be nagged and dragged all the time.
Your ‘Self’ – believe it or not- is the being that really knows your main task here on earth, and it receives great satisfaction from fulfilling this task regardless of its type. It strives to accomplish your main mission that God dictated to you (It witnessed that day!).
It is the being inside you that learns, and digests all what is learned.
It has the power to connect with knowledge and learning. It dreams, moves and floats freely in parts of your mind-verbal and non verbal– you never thought existed!
Thus, has access to incredible amount of information about you, and is able to collect and filter what is missing, simply because it knows.
Your ‘Self’ is able to acquire the information you need from ‘within as well as from without’.
They try to suppress the ‘Self’ every time it nags and drags; whereas sometimes it nags because this is what ‘you’ truly have to do!!!!
When you suppress it all the time, you are taking the risk of quieten it altogether, and it will not reveal to you what you need to know.
By taking your time to think about what it is nagging about, and to check its relevance; you will be able to differentiate between فُجُورَهَا and تَقۡوَٮٰهَا .
Here is a tip, when you busy your ‘self’ with what really matters, it will stop nagging about the trivial things!!!
Finally, the proverb says ‘Believe in your ‘self’’. It doesn’t say believe in you 🙂 Set the direction and rest assure your ‘Self’ knows how to take you there.
It is your compass. It is your (GPS).
In order to have a clear start, your ‘self’ has no control over your heart.
In fact, your heart is your last defence line against فجور النفس By checking with your heart every time your ‘self’ nags, you save a lot of effort and trouble later on. (Assuming that your heart is ‘good’ and that ‘you’ don’t usually follow the desires of your ‘self’).
But I am not here to talk about that.
The heart consists of a good chunk of brain cells, which makes it act as if it has a mind of its own, it thinks, visualizes, processes, perceives, and also recommends. And oh how strong and urgent its recommendations can be!!!! And how valuable!!
The pathways going from the Heart to the Brain outnumber the pathways from the Brain to the Heart.
You are indeed overwhelmed by your Heart.
Its recommendations affect mental clarity, creativity, emotional balance, and personal effectiveness. In total it affects intelligence and awareness.
‘The heart is the most powerful generator of rhythmic information pattern in the human body. It functions as sophisticated information encoding and processing centre, and possesses a far more developed communication system with the brain than do most of the body’s major organs.
Your Heart really has its strong influence in decision making, and you should always check with your heart before you press ‘Enter’. But you want to make sure that the recommendations are relevant and will actually take you to your destination before you decide to follow it.
So, how to control the quality of recommendations the heart sends ‘you’?
To guarantee that the recommendations are of relevance and of superb quality, you should make your heart follow you first!!!!!
And it does actually follow ‘you’ before it recommends a certain action!
It checks how you have been feeling, thinking and behaving lately, registers all of that and sends its recommendations accordingly.
‘Follow your heart’ is actually a roundabout!
You truly need to have control over how you feel, how you think and what you think about, and how you behave in order to tame your different ‘parts’ and set a good example for them to follow.
This is the criteria they -your parts- will then use to give you their recommendations later on!
I know it sounds like ‘the egg and the chicken’ kind of thing, maybe it is.
But there is one more ‘faculty’ that you can use, that will help you achieve that Insha’Allah.
Can you hear the drumbeats?
Some people avoid talking about the ‘mind’; because they think it is something intangible that cannot really be understood.
That it is something you cannot own. Far from it!!
In fact, you use your ‘conscious mind’ to own all your ‘parts’.
By its power of ‘FOCUS’.
Your conscious mind acts as a periscope of attention. And your whole life will follow your attention!
You feel the emotions you focus on. You understand and digest the thoughts you focus on. You accomplish the tasks you focus on.
And ‘you’ choose what you focus on!!!
Your ‘parts’ will send you the recommendations about the things you focus on!
By integrating the powers and intention of all your ‘parts’, you clear the way to dive into the place that holds all the relevant information.
Once you are there, use the power of focus to get the answers you are looking for.
Getting the Answers from your unconscious mind!
Anything and everything that has/had been out of your focus -since you were born-, your unconscious mind saw it, heard it, perceived, collected it, analysed it, and stored it.
For you to focus on!
