This month has been one of the wettest on record in the United Kingdom. At Henley we’ve seen the river Thames swell and accelerate past the College, though not burst its banks, and we’ve been deluged by news stories about flooded middle-England streets, disrupted public services and ruined crops from reporters standing in rubber Wellington boots. Even though it is the media silly season, and one might expect to see more coverage of items which at other times be lesser stories (sacred bulls with tuberculosis, wealthy heiresses having epiphanies in prison, the BBC fixing phone-in competitions), the impact of so much unusual weather is all everyone has been talking about.
There’s something in human nature that tends to assume that conditions experienced where I am must be the same everywhere else. Of course, this is not so. Other parts of Europe are suffering from opposite extremes of heatwaves, and some parts of the world, perhaps your own, have their own very dramatic stories to tell. Whether temporary climate glitch or sure sign of tipping point reached, it is interesting how easy it is becoming to reach out to a global community such as Henley’s, and note how that may be a hopeful sign that we can both educate ourselves and then act to deal with change.
Two surveys in this newsletter. First, it’s time to exhort you to participate in the annual survey of distance learning Programme Members. Many of you will recall that last August’s questionnaire could be filled out online. Longer memories may also recall that there was a new format and new questions, which we have retained for this year and which will make possible a direct comparison of results to check progress.
Go there now (you can’t go there from this blog, of course)!! Or, if you can’t, then try to do it within the next 48 hours, otherwise it will disappear under the weight of other emails and things to do. A note to those reading this who are studying with Henley via the International Network – this is primarily aimed at Henley-Based members and your local provider may well be collecting feedback their own way. However, if you still feel like filling it in, please go ahead.
I will place a reminder to complete this in the August newsletter and then post analysis of the results in late September.
· What specifically attracted you to Henley as opposed to another MBA supplier.
· What media do you refer to in your social and business life.
I would be extremely grateful if you could complete the following questionnaire online by Tuesday 31 July. It should take a maximum of 10 minutes.
The other week I went to an internal meeting to discuss the merits of using LinkedIn and whether or not the College should create its own user group of current and past MBA programme members. This turned out to be a no-brainer, and a rare occasion at Henley where everyone agreed and a meeting finished early. However, LinkedIn have temporarily pulled the facility for new groups. As soon as they have up-graded, they will let us know and we will be going about piloting this. For those of you who are not familiar with it, Linkedin is a social networking tool (ah, yes, Web 2.0!) which has particularly taken off in Europe among 35 to 45 year olds. It’s doubtful your teenage children, nephews or nieces will have heard of it, so your chance to show off your Internet skills.
One date for your Community diaries will be Sunday November 4th, the next time the Community holds a gathering at the College. We will start with a lunch and Richard and Mike will organise an afternoon of motivation for weary learners.
This is particularly important for any of you who are coming to the end of your normal or first period of re-registration and haven’t yet got round to arranging for further time or submission before your time is up!
A little earlier than that, another reminder that the next Dissertation Clinic will be on September 15th. Contact Susan Parr on for details.
A further date in your diaries is the 2007 optional Skills Workshop weekend, to be held on November 17th and 18th. More details in the August newsletter.
In the past I have highlighted the fact that Henley runs an extremely successful Coaching Certificate course. As part of their programme, participants run two real coaching sessions with volunteers. These are usually 60-90 minutes long, are confidential and can be on any topic on your mind. If you would like to take advantage of this, please email Sharon Hickman on for further details and dates.
The recent awful weather may have been a factor in an up-take to attend a dinner that ended up being too low to go ahead with. We plan to re-schedule this event for this intake later in the year. Don’t worry if you have already submitted final dissertation, or if you have yet to submit a proposal – this will be a valuable get-together for you all. Details to follow from Charlotte.
Finally, as always, a reminder that the best source of new programme members for Henley is via referral, and the best way for you to protect your own investment is by recommending this programme to people just like you. The next Henley-based intake will start studying at the end of September, so if you have anyone in mind that you think would benefit, please let me know and I will pass on their details to our marketing team.

My view at breakfast. Hard to be cranky looking at this.
I am making good choices. Everyone at these things drinks like crazy, and no one can really believe I quit drinking. I think it says more about them than me that they find not drinking unbelievable.
My cardiologist would approve of this breakfast. On the road and by yourself is the hardest time to eat healthy.
I saw a graphic on the news that 3 or 4 of the top 10 most expensive areas to live are in California. (New York, surprisingly, did not make the list). One of the areas listed was Santa Cruz. As I sit here eating beautiful berries, I wonder how long those berry fields in Santa Cruz county can hold off urban demand. California's housing problems and regulatory environment may change the way we eat.

In retraining an injured pianist, the next step after establishing the seat height and basic set up is often dropping into single notes, not immediately to the C major scale as some unadvisedly claim (Lister-Sink, 2009). The lift involves only the active fingers, hand and forearm; the upper arm, elbow and shoulder remain neutral (see Moran, 2008, pp. 25-26). The pianist learns to fall freely into the key, using gravity. This reduces muscular work, increases efficiency and ease of tone production, allowing pianists to play repetitive passages without fatigue. Tellingly, Furuya, Osu and Kinoshita observe professional pianists take advantage of gravity in the free fall, but not amateurs. Although they assert “first evidence” of scientific proof supporting the benefits of the free fall (2009, pp. 22-23), others including Ortmann recognised this long before (1929/1962).
After depressing the key, the playing fingers balance lightly on the keybed, neither relaxing, nor gripping (Golandsky Institute, 2009). Contrary to Yankovitch’s claims, the fingers and hands are always lively, not “completely inert” (2011). The non-playing fingers either rest lightly on the keys, or hover slightly above, thus dropping tiny distances (also see Sándor, p. 60). Throughout the lift and free fall, nothing is relaxed or heavy. Rather, the hand and fingers are “infused with the energy that allows motion to occur” (Dybvig workshop, 2003). As this fundamental movement underlies every note, it can be beneficial, even at advanced levels, to check the freedom of the lift and fall away from the piano.
Ortmann correctly notes that the free fall is impractical for actual playing (1929/1962, p. 150). Thus, after embodying the skill, the lift is minimised and the drop is related to timing the key. The experience becomes a “controlled fall” (Grindea, cited in Ishida, 2003, p. 122). The student learns how to aim to the point of the sound, using the forearm to slow down the key to produce the desired tone. When this is correct, the keybeds “should feel like butter” (Golandsky citing Taubman, lesson, June 1, 2009).
Footnote: Ferrario, Macri, Biffi and Sforza (2007, p. 23) note that among many concert pianists, the non-playing fingers do not touch the keys, whereas amateurs, students, and teachers allow the non-playing fingers to lie down. The assumption is made that the non-playing fingers are lifted, which is inefficient, requiring effort and possibility resulting in susceptibility to PRMDs. However, if the non-playing fingers are balanced, not held up, efficiency is increased, as they only have to drop into the next note, as opposed to lifting then dropping into the key.

In today’s world businesses tend to solely focus on the maximisation of profit as were it the only indicator for success. But is this true?
Should the actual wellbeing of people not be the measure of things? And should responsibility for a sustainable planet not also be part of ‘success’? As believers in an ‘economy of meaning’ we feel that the impact on people and planet should be an integral part of what we call ‘success’.
learn that true value can only be created inside-out and based on inclusion.

According to Forbes, about 75 Billion IoT devices are supposed to be connected to each other by the year 2025. But, is the current IoT sector competent enough to tackle the vulnerabilities that these numerous IoT devices expose us to?
Over the last few years, with the emergence and increased penetration of IoT technology in our lives, we have also seen an abundant number of large-scale security breaches, compromising user privacy and in certain cases, even LIVES.
Why is it that these technologies that are designed with an emphasis on user satisfaction are often the cause of distress as well?
IoT devices are majorly developed with the goal of maximising user convenience. And the massive rise in the adoption of IoT devices clearly indicates the growing demand for it. This heightened demand has created a surge for the invention of more such devices, leaving companies that develop these products with a time crunch. With them being focussed on meeting these demands at a much rapid pace, they’re leaving behind loopholes in the form of weak passwords, default configuration, and unidentified backdoors. As a result, an increasing number of IoT devices are getting to the market without being checked for security issues.
The IoT sector is expected to grow to an astounding 20.4 billion devices by 2020, and businesses are expected to spend $134 billion annually by 2022 just on cybersecurity for IoT devices, according to Juniper Research.
This sounds like great news, doesn’t it? But, what about those 8.4 million IoT devices that are already out there today? How does one identify the vulnerabilities and prevent these devices from getting compromised?
Let’s look at some of the most frightful IoT Attacks and Vulnerabilities in the recent past that are proof enough to the kind of risks we are exposed to.
One of the many significant IoT attacks that happened in 2016, Mirai botnet took down giants such as - Netflix, Github, Shopify, Twitter, SoundCloud, and some more. The Mirai botnet attacked primarily - older routers and IP Cameras and then used them to flood DNS provider Dyn with a DDoS attack.
Systems infected with Mirai search the web for vulnerable IoT devices and infect them with malware by using known usernames and passwords to login.
This one works on a similar principle to that of Mirai except that it simply kills the device. Similar to Mirai botnet, it launches a DDoS attack and relies on users sticking to their default usernames and passwords. The Brickerbot targets Internet connected devices that run a Linux tool package called BusyBox and have a telnet-based interface publicly exposed.
In December 2007, the Satori Botnet, successfully ambushed 28,000 IP addresses in just 12 hours, bringing down numerous home routers and several high-profile websites akin to its successor - the Mirai Botnet.
However, Satori displayed an unusual threat that Mirai and its other variants did not display. While Mirai and its variants exploited IoT devices that had weak or default credentials, Satori exploited firmware bugs which are often left unpatched.
Once the malware finds a vulnerability in an IoT device, it checks for default passwords and then gains complete access to the device and further checks for devices that may be connected to it. This is how the malware keeps extending its network. Once this network becomes large enough, it can bring down large chunks of the internet.
CVE-2017–17215: A vulnerability specific to Huawei Home Gateway routers, port 37215 being the target port for exploitation by attackers. This vulnerability was eventually patched in November 2017.
CVE-2014-8361: A command injection vulnerability in Realtek SDK miniigd Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) SOAP interface; the target being port 52869. This vulnerability too was patched in May 2015.
Akin to the Mirai Botnet, Satori’s source code too was released publically but, the Satori developers are actively working on creating multiple versions of it.
The DLink DIR 850L wireless AC1200 dual-band gigabit cloud suffered from a number of various security issues ranging from command injection to storing of hardcoded encryption keys on the device.
These vulnerabilities when exploited gives attacker complete access to the DLink device enabling the attacker to take over the entire internet of the victim including launching additional attacks. At the time of discovery, an estimated 94,155 DLink routers were exposed to the public internet.
This bug was identified by a security researcher named Pierre Kim who disclosed the vulnerabilities on his blog after DLink failed to patch the security issues.
While IoT has revolutionized the way Healthcare is organised, it has simultaneously lead to some life-threatening scenarios.
Medical devices that use wireless communications are often exposed to vulnerabilities that could lead to life threatening consequences. Over the last decade, we have seen a surge in the number of attacks on devices such as heart implants and IEDs.
Let’s look at a few instances of the medical devices that got compromised in the recent past.
The One Touch Insulin Pump is a popular medical device used for self-administering insulin. The One Touch Ping Insulin System functions in a ‘two-parts system’ wherein these two parts communicate with each other in the 900mhz band using a proprietary management protocol, to deliver insulin.
Recent reports have revealed a major glitch in the One Touch Ping Insulin Pump.
R7-2016-07.1 - The Insulin Pump uses cleartext communications instead of encrypted communications, in its proprietary management protocol and this lack of encryption is what enables an attacker to exploit the device and trigger unauthorized insulin injections and a hypoglycemic reaction in a patient.
R7-2016-07.2 - To prevent the pump from taking commands from other remotes, the setup involves a pairing process during which the remote and the pump exchange serial numbers and some header information. This pairing process is done via a 5 packet exchange and these packets are identical each time the remote and the insulin pump are paired. Due to lack of encryption during the pairing process, attackers can easily access the remote/pump key and then, spoof either of the two.
R7-2016-07.3 - The communication between the pump and remote is also highly prone to interception because of little to no defence against replay attacks. Attackers can easily capture remote transmissions and replay them later to use it to their advantage, which can cause major harm to the patients concerned.
Another major flaw is that, there is no way to know if the devices concerned have received the packets or not as the protocol that is used by the remote meter and pump for communication, does not have the elements that can guarantee the delivery. This further allows an attacker to perform a spoofed remote attack from any location, via a powered remote for sending commands to the pump, thereby eliminating the need for hearing the acknowledgement packets.
Back in 2016, Medscape along with Muddy Waters, publically released remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in St. Jude (acquired by Abbott Laboratories) pacemakers and defibrillators. While St. Jude denied the vulnerabilities, in October 2016, Medsec again released 4 videos demonstrating the exploitation carried out on Abbott pacemakers and defibrillators.
The case of Abbott pacemakers and defibrillators is extremely crucial with regard to security in Healthcare IoT. Researchers involved in the exploitation of vulnerabilities found flaws that could have been fatal, if not resolved at the right time. It was detected that the devices could be forced to malfunction by reprogramming and then, be used to administer electric shocks to patients at distances of 10 feet and prematurely drain the battery of the device.
After multiple evidences of the flaws in Abbott Laboratories’ devices being released, the FDA issued an alert and Homeland Security’s ICS-CERT issued an advisory with regard to the public disclosure of the security issues found in Abbott’s devices. Eventually, St. Jude resorted to take measures to improve patient safety by releasing a patch for the vulnerabilities it had previously denied.
In 2015, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek demonstrated Wired that they were able to successfully control a Jeep SUV by exploiting software vulnerabilities ultimately leading them access to CAN bus.
The Jeep hack was possible by exploiting a number of vulnerabilities including exposed ports, firmware update and verification among others which ultimately enabled them to control the vehicle’s speed, directions, brakes and many more controls of the vehicle.
The situation becomes worse here as more and more semi-automated and fully automatic cars come into the market. It seems even more appalling when one thinks of the possible repercussions of a cyber criminal finding his/her way to the more critical functions of a car.
One of the earliest examples of a cyber attack on critical infrastructure by bringing down one-fifth of a country’s nuclear centrifuges is - the Stuxnet virus. The country in question here is Iran and according to credible sources, Stuxnet had an impact so huge that it lead to heavy delays in the country’s nuclear programme.
The worm exploited a vulnerability in the way Microsoft Windows processed shortcut links (LNK) and is believed by many to be one of the first to have brought havoc to physical assets of high importance by using digital technology, on such a large scale. It is still ironic how even after such a setback, most governments across the globe aren’t prepared for a similar attack.
This major security breach by the internet company Cloudflare hit close to 3400 websites, in the February of 2017. This malware that affected Cloudflare clients, resulted in user passwords and other sensitive data getting leaked to over thousands of websites over a period of six months.
The only good part about this whole scenario was that Cloudflare was able to take the entire situation under control and put an end to the bug within 7 hours after finding it. Although the Cloudflare team worked religiously to scrape off any leaked data off search engines, there still lies the possibility of sensitive data being exposed to vulnerabilities as the data could have been lying bare since almost as early as September 22, 2016.
According to the documents, the CIA developed malware to hack various smart devices like the Samsung Smart TV. The documents also reveal various Android, iOS, and Windows vulnerabilities, advanced tools for location tracking via Wifi signals, and numerous hacking methods such as - malware, trojans, viruses, weaponized 0 - Day Exploits, and other tools used by the CIA for spying.
According to claims laid forth by Wikileaks, the information revealed is legitimate. And is these claims are to be believed, it undoubtedly raises some major questions about the operational abilities of the CIA.
Another major IoT attack that took place in 2016 was when cybercriminals shut down the heating system in two buildings in Lappeenranta, Finland. This attack highlights one of the most dangerous possibilities associated with IoT vulnerabilities. Finland, during Novembers, is exceedingly cold and such an attack at a larger scale could have lead to harsher and more chilling circumstances.
The attackers targeted the central heating and hot water systems in both the buildings in Lappeenranta. The systems got stuck on an endless loop of reboots, in order to fight the ongoing attack. Thankfully, the situation which could have easily worsened was handled well by Valtia, the company that was responsible for managing the buildings. Their quick response in relocating the inhabitants and fixing the issue helped dodge what could have been a disaster. According to security experts, it was Mirai botnet that lead to this condition.
So how can these IoT devices or the IoT ecosystem be more secure?
It is quite clear now that the smart devices that we so often rely upon may seem convenient enough but, they are far from being secure. But, that doesn’t imply complete shunning of all IoT devices. Taking cue from the above examples, it can be concluded that potential risks, if not eliminated, can at least be minimized if both - the user and the device developer take appropriate action.

After a brief stay at Newton vineyards I departed in 1993 to represent a French cooperage. Although I regretted leaving my true love, making wine, I welcomed the passport to numerous wine regions of the U.S., and ultimately the goal of making my own wine. In 1994 I had spare time during harvest and I worked for an Oregon producer coordinating the picking and production of Pinot Noir. Despite my involvement in making beautiful wines I decided I could not trust the fickle mistress we call Pinot, perhaps a more sturdy wine, less feminine, more reliable was what I sought. A tomboy of Pinot.
During the winter I toured through the Rhône using my cooperage connection and visited Chave, Rostaing, Voge, and Beaucastel. It was then I became enlightened and found Syrah. Oddly enough, Syrah is one of the few feminine varieties, in French "la Syrah". I have been known to describe my wines as a ballerina who has taken up kick-boxing, the tom-boy who doesn't mind getting a bit grubby, earthy, grounded, but is attractive, pretty, and alluring in expression. The Syrah grape has enlightened me to the versatile yet unpredictable facets of the resulting wine. Syrah also has a remarkable ability to adapt from the cool climate of Sonoma Coast and Santa Barbara to the heat of a dry farmed vineyard in Calistoga. All the wines have a unique and desirable expression of Syrah from each site. Thus, many (but not all) of my wines are single vineyard designated.

What a capture, right? Little wee merle with the big mama merle. How cute is that??
I know how much you all love the puppy photos. That’s why I am going to show you something else instead. For Hallowe’en I’m going to be Torture Lady ™.
Ha ha! Not all dives are flawless! Oh shut up boring Food Lady, with your Piper photos.
SNORE, yeah yeah, foster dog Cooper, looking for a home, we remember him. Get on with it already.
Here’s a wee white noggin peeking up from a sea of merle.
He does have legs, I swear.
I have been trying to get photos of each pup individually, but the little bastards keep turning away from the camera. They are blind, they are deaf, the only motion they can reliably do is The Worm, and yet the second the camera comes out they all turn their little potato backs on me. I don’t know how they do it. One of the great mysteries of nature.
Maybe I should bring the camera out in the middle of the night, when they are all screaming and keeping me awake!!
Anyway, here are some shots I did manage to catch this afternoon.
They don’t even have feelings yet, but this one still managed to scowl at me.
This one just gave me the puppy version of the bird.
And then complained about me to his mum.
This one stuck his tongue out at me. While scowling.
I keep calling them all “him” by the way, because I can’t remember which ones are males and which ones are females. Truthfully, I am lucky I remember to put on pants in the morning, that’s how tired I am. This is harder than I remember it.
It’s a damn good thing they’re cute.

Slack is a fantastic tool. Not only does it connect thousands of people with their colleagues and professional teams every day, it also houses a myriad of communities that have nothing (or little) to do with the work day. Interest-based Slack servers are becoming more and more popular as the service grows, and if you’re a designer, you should do yourself a favor and sign up for these web design Slack channels. Not only will you get tons of tips and ideas to inspire, but you may also make some friends as a bonus.
Any community that has an entrance application deserves a look. Not because it’s exclusive, but because its admins take their mission for community building seriously. Dear Designers has a robust community from all corners of the design world, but it’s gated behind an application that is meant to keep it designers-only. The form you fill out is not hard, nor is it meant to scare you away. It’s used to keep the Slack clear of anonymous commentators who don’t bring anything worthwhile to the channel and its discussions.
CodeNewbie was one of the very first Slack channels I joined when I turned from academics to freelance web work. It’s one of the most inclusive online communities out there, and it covers everything from web design to UX design, UI, coding, and everything in between. If you’re a web designer (or developer), and you want to get inspired and meet some good people, there are some downright amazing people spread among this Slack server.
A part of Digital Freelancer, #freelance is a slack community for people who, well, freelance. But it’s more than that. As the community has grown, connections have been made, lessons have been learned, and real good has come about. With dedicated channels to design, development, and so on, the focus here is on actual learning and communication and getting better at what you do. Plus, there are jobs shared on there all the time. That’s more than enough reason to hop aboard.
Could you ask for a better title for a web design Slack? Absolutely not. And when you get past the name, you will see there’s a fantastic community underneath, too. Maintained by Stamplay, a tech company devoted to APIs and ease of use, these web design Slack channels are full of folks sharing their work, looking for advice, and getting to know each other. No matter what your specialization is, you’re going to find something to design. Maybe even everything.
#Launch is what your career will do after you sign up and spend some time in this web design Slack. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say it’s just a web design Slack. Because it’s a lot more than that. I mean, when you get together Y-Combinator founders and similarly high-tier designers and developers together, any community they create isn’t just anything.
This is a big one. It’s where designers hang out, after all. With supporting partners like Adobe and O’Reilly, Designer’s Hangout is the big league. Between hosting live Q&A sessions with some of the design industry’s biggest names, having a userbase of over 15k people, and dedicated subchannels for every niche you’d want to work in (plus channels for major cities so people can meet up in person), you really can’t afford not to request an invite.
This Slack group is fantastic. At least, from what I hear. Because I don’t identify as a woman, I’m not allowed inside this web design Slack. And that’s okay. That’s what makes it awesome. Women in Technology bills itself as a safe place for women who work in technology, whether that’s programming, graphic design, UX, or pretty much anything else. While there is a long list of rules for the community, those are not punitive — they’re protective. This channel takes its members’ wellbeing and security seriously, and if you are a woman in tech yourself, think about signing up and requesting an invite.
Animation is the wave of the future. Not only are traditional animation jobs becoming far more common, everyday websites are starting to utilize animated elements in their design more and more. If you have ever wanted to fall into that niche yourself and tinker around with all the moving parts in design (literally), this is one niche community you’d do well to join.
This web design Slack boasts as being the #1 design community, and who am I to argue? With over 6k members and growing daily (a figure which I am sure you are soon to be numbered among), the Designership wants to be your one-stop shop for everything design. Jobs get posted to the chat, and the administrators run contests for cool stuff so that you can show off your skills. The users are active and friendly, and there’s just a good, happy vibe coming from this server. That’s never a bad sign.
Did you know that WordPress is on Slack? Officially. Much of the discussion about updates and features happens on Slack, with regular team meetings that are open to the public. One of the more important ones is actually the design team because getting good, regular design contributions for open-source software is pretty hard. It’s kind of ingrained in developers and coders to contribute to open-source, but designers are another matter. Good software can’t go anywhere without good design — both in terms of UX and UI. If you want to get involved (or just see what’s involved) with the production of WordPress, join the official slack and check out the design channels.
Between some of these, I am willing to wager you’ll find a few new online places to haunt. I know I have. The internet is a wide, wide space and finding the right spots to spend your time in can be hard. Luckily, apps like Slack make it so that we can connect with like-minded people easier than it’s ever been. So make sure you sign up for some of the web design Slack channels above and make some friends, maybe get some new gigs, and probably get some inspiration or experience for future projects.
What are your favorite web design Slack channels? Or just Slack channels in general!

• for non-native speakers of English, an IELTS score of 6.5 at entry, reaching 7 by the end of training.
This two-year full-time course, approved by the Health and Care Professions Council in the UK, aims to introduce a variety of approaches, with the emphasis on suitability of application in individual and group therapy to particular client problems. Assessment and evaluation of practice and an emphasis on developmental and psychodynamic/psychoanalytically informed approaches are central. Drama is used ‘improvisationally’, created and adjusted in interaction with the client(s). The therapeutic relationship, and a psychodynamic understanding of that relationship, connect past and present in the client’s life. A mother and baby/toddler observation teaches about the role of developmental play in attachment. The impact of diversity on the therapeutic relationship and different cultural understandings around relationship, play and therapy, aim to place the different therapeutic models in their cultural contexts, so as to enable cultural competencies to be developed for different diverse settings. Teaching methods focus on self reflection in workshops, small and large group seminars, supervision of case work, case discussion and theoretical analysis. Facilitation and improvisation based workshops develop the practitioner. The clinical placements with individual supervision at placements, together with small group clinical supervision at Anglia Ruskin University, provide further opportunities. Personal development is seen as crucial, with a two-year dramatherapy group facilitated by an external therapist within the training, as well as individual personal therapy arranged by the student. Some shared training with music therapy students enables exchange which, together with teaching on other arts therapies and psychological therapies approaches, provides students with excellent preparation for working in a multi-disciplinary environment. Regular individual tutorials provide both pastoral and academic support.
The courses are divided into two years with year-long modules in order to promote on-going development and process for the student. In year one there are three modules amounting to 120 credits, and in year two, there are two modules also amounting to 120 credits, with less attendance at the university and more emphasis upon autonomous study and placements. The completion of the major project and final casework (or continuation for another three months of the previous casework), leading to professional accreditation are the foci in the final year. The distribution of the clinical placements extends over the full two years, whilst still maintaining the diversity of clinical experience for the student.
Exchanges at Anglia Ruskin University are only possible if students undertake a year of their training in the UK. The placements are mainly in 3-month and (mainly) 6-month blocks each year.
We have a developing dramatherapy research culture. Only some examples of publications are given but extensive lists can be found on the websites below.
There is also a developing PhD culture in dramatherapy.

Hundreds of East Germans, unexpectedly allowed to emigrate by the Communist authorities, are flooding into West Germany in the biggest exodus in more than a decade, officials said here Saturday.
Heinz Doerr, head of the central reception camp for East German refugees in Giessen, said about 100 emigrants a day had been arriving last week.
One new arrival, who asked not to be named, said he thought the authorities were having a final ''clear-out'' before tightening up on emigration later this year.

The actor Ryan Gosling has saved a British writer from being run over by a New York taxi cab.
Laurie Penny, who works for the New Statesman and Independent, sent out a series of excited messages on Twitter after the actor stopped her from walking out in front of an oncoming taxi on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue.
The writer admitted that she had been looking the wrong way because she was used to British traffic driving on the other side of the road.
If there was any doubt about the identity of her rescuer, a passer-by confirmed that it was indeed Gosling, the star of movies including Blue Valentine and Drive.
Penny tweeted: "He said 'hey, watch out!' Identity of Ryan Gosling confirmed by girl near me, who said 'you lucky -----."
Canadian-born Gosling has form as a New York street hero – last summer a passer-by captured him on a mobile phone camera as he raced to break up a fight between two men.
He later said he was embarrassed by the attention the video footage received, after it was posted on YouTube.

We’re lucky to have a population of these magnificent birds which are, sadly, now classified as “Endangered” by the IUCN. They are frequently killed by eating the carcasses of jackals and other predators that have been poisoned by farmers. While declining across Africa, they can be seen here by the dozens roosting in trees at dusk, sunning themselves in the fields in the morning, or sailing high up in thermals in the heat of the day.

Day after day, millions of Americans who frequent pews see ghosts when they pick up their newspapers or turn on television news. They read stories that are important to their lives, yet they seem to catch fleeting glimpses of other characters or other plots between the lines. There seem to be other ideas or influences hiding there.
But first let me introduce myself. My name is Terry Mattingly and I am a journalist who covers religion news. For the past 17 years I have written the national "On Religion" column each week for the Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, D.C. I also direct the Washington Journalism Center at the national headquarters of Council for Christian Colleges and Universities on Capitol Hill.
Between the two of us, we have been covering religion news in secular and sacred media -- or trying to convince editors to pay us to do so -- for almost 50 years. We write religion stories and we read religion stories. Lots of them. That's how we start our days and often that's how we finish them.
We see all kinds of things and so do our many friends in academia, think tanks and the blogosphere. In this project, we are working with the Oxford Centre for Religion and Public Life and a philanthropist who -- with the byline Roberta Green -- is herself a journalist with solid, national-level experience on the religion beat in mainstream newspapers. Click here to read a speech in which she discusses her own motivations for continuing to work on issues of education, mass media, journalism and culture.
But back to the "ghost" issue. Here's that example I was going to tell you about.

Mayo Clinic - April 15, 2016 USPSTF建议使用低剂量阿司匹林预防心血管疾病和结肠直肠癌。 The USPSTF recommends low-dose aspirin for preventing cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer.
Dr. Stephen Kopecky, Cardiologist, Mayo Clinic: And so, they have come out and said aspirin is good to take to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke and colorectal cancer, but they've been very specific about who should get it. They said your risk over ten years should be at least 10%, and you should be at least in the 50-60-year age group. Once you're older than that or younger than that, they really don't have evidence to say it may benefit you, although certainly, the older group, we tend to give people aspirin for. Now, the other caveat is if you have bleeding problems; if you've had GI bleeding (gastrointestinal), you've had blood in your stool before [or] you've had ulcers before. That's a risk. Or, if you take lots of what we call "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents" (NSAID). These over-the-counter medications, we buy for arthritis and pain - ibuprofen [and] naproxen, things like that. That can actually get you into trouble, so they're saying don't take the aspirin if you take a lot of those pills too. Aspirin, in a man, will lower their risk of heart attack, but not so much lower the risk of stroke. Aspirin in women lowers their risk of stroke, but not the risk of heart attack, and this is in primary prevention, meaning patients that have not had either before. It's all based on risk. If you're at high risk, you're more benefited by the aspirin. If you're [at] low risk, the benefit's very low. The second thing that's very good is the risk of side effects from the aspirin, you know, the bleeding from the aspirin. That's very important, because what most people don't realize is that while our risk of heart attack goes up as we go through life, our risk of bleeding with aspirin goes up faster. So, you actually need to be at higher risk at an older age for heart attack or stroke, to warrant aspirin then you do at a younger age.

Though she is currently experimenting with an electromagnetic calorimeter as an intern at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, Laura Bergsten ’15 never anticipated studying science at Dartmouth. With encouragement from her freshman advisor and other faculty members, however, Bergsten began to explore beyond her original interests in government, working as a paid research intern through the Women In Science Project, experimenting with quantitative studies classes and running computer simulations in physics laboratories. She eventually declared a physics and math double major.
Bergsten is one of 25 current students at the College who has declared a major in physics. Women constitute about 30 percent of all physics majors at Dartmouth. Though the number of female faculty and majors in the sciences has more than doubled since the 1990s, gains are unevenly distributed among different fields, according to data provided by assistant director for undergraduate advising and research Kathy Weaver. Undergraduate women now outnumber men in the life sciences but still remain a minority of physics, engineering, math and computer science majors, department chairs said. In the Class of 2014, women comprise about 25 percent of engineering majors, 25 percent of physics majors and 24 percent of computer science majors. In the earth sciences department, approximately 55 percent of majors over the past four years have been women, department chair William Dade said. In 2010, roughly 20 percent of computer science and engineering degree recipients in the U.S. were women, as were about 40 percent of physical sciences B.A. candidates, according to data from the National Science Foundation. Chemistry department chair Dale Mierke said 46 percent of Dartmouth’s current chemistry majors are women, a 9 percent increase from 2010. Computer science department chair Thomas Cormen, the women in computer science club advisor, said his department has taken several steps to support its female majors, including sponsoring student attendance at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, an annual conference in October that includes technical talks and career mentoring workshops. In 2013, the department spent $35,000 to send 26 students to the conference, Cormen said. Sucharita Jayanti ’14, a computer science and math double major, said she found a job through the conference, which she has attended for the past two years. Once she graduates, Jayanti intends to work at Amazon as part of a cloud storage team in Massachusetts. Computer science professors and students said the department could focus on strengthening academic support for students by increasing the number of female faculty it employs and improving student-to-faculty ratios. Bergsten said she believes math and physics classes are small enough that students feel comfortable approaching professors directly for help. As the former president of Dartmouth’s chapter of the National Association for Women in Mathematics, Bergsten said she hopes to create a community of women in the math and sciences because she thinks female students can feel isolated in some of their science classes. They may then quit or not participate as a result. “Often times, people like myself feel uncomfortable in a classroom that’s mostly guys,” Bergsten said. “My internship in the fall had very few women scientists, and that made me feel not as comfortable speaking up or asking questions.” Mathematics professor Carolyn Gordon, who served as president of the National Association for Women in Mathematics, said women need role models and contemporaries in their fields. Gordon said women, along with other underrepresented groups, should be encouraged to continue with mathematics. “I don’t mean to be stereotyping,” she said, “but society gives women the message that they are not as qualified a lot more than it gives men, and that gets internalized.” Gordon said Dartmouth’s student chapter of the association seeks to build a community through events with faculty and mentorship programs. Chemistry professor Jane Lipson said the presence of more equal numbers of men and women in chemistry provides adequate peer internal support for students in class, though further institutional support encourage women to continue their studies. Physics and astronomy department chair James LaBelle said the department actively tries to attract female graduate students by establishing personal contact with applicants. LaBelle said about 25 percent of physics faculty at the College are women. Nationally, 13 percent of physics faculty are women, according to an American Institute of Physics report published last July. Earth sciences professor Meredith Kelly said she thinks women are well-represented in her field until they reach the level at which they would take on a faculty post. “That’s the clog in the pipeline,” Kelly said. “It’s hard because you’re older, you may be married or have kids, or may want to be married or have kids, and a faculty position requires that you are able to move wherever.” Kelly added that she has observed that among her colleagues male assistant professors are more likely to be married, while women are more likely to be single. “It’s a tough road, and it takes some sacrifices,” she said.

Lyrical dance has a relatively recent history and a genesis based on the coming together of ballet, rock, a variety of jazz dance and modern dance, and to a lesser degree, punk and swing. It is mainly performed to music with lyrics, and the song’s lyrics are a driving force and key inspiration for the movement. Choreography is often emotional, gripping, and exquisitely delicate, all at the same time.
Lyrical dance gained its name not because the lyrics of a song are sometimes highlighted over the rhythm, but because of the meaning of the word lyrical: having a poetic, expressive quality; musical; characterized by or expressing spontaneous, direct feeling; expressing deep personal emotions or observation; highly rhapsodic or enthusiastic. Lyrical dance is expressive, subtle and dynamic, expressing emotions through movement. It is a combination of intricate, highly technical, and pedestrian/naturalistic moves. Lyrical dance is often choreographed to a song about freedom, of releasing a sad emotion, or of overcoming obstacles, but can be choreographed to any human emotion-related song. Depending on the given song and choreography, a lyrical piece may or may not be graceful, but will always be expressive and unpredictable, particularly in comparison to ballet and other jazz pieces which may have a more presentational quality. A solid, ballet-based technique is an essential component of this style of dance, as is a facility with various other forms of jazz, some contemporary dance, and proper placement and bodily alignment. However, lyrical choreography is often peppered with intentionally pedestrian moves to create a simultaneously organic and dramatic feel. Lyrical is based around choreography and the interpretation of the music. Routines are based around feeling and emotion and, though technique is crucial, spirit generally tells where the dance will go.
Musically, the choreography accentuates and/or flows in synergy with a song’s climaxes, but the choreography will also bring out the more nuanced aspects of a song: sometimes a silence between notes in the music, or the breath between words, will be emphasized, possibly with a simple, physical gesture. This may be followed, for example, by a more complex sequence, such as a triple pirouette en cou-de-pied (coupe), or a grand jete, or a series of chaine turns, followed by a cabriole, descending to the floor, only to rise again and perhaps very casually to walk downstage for a few counts before changing direction once again.
Movements in lyrical dance are characterized by their fluidity and grace. Leaps are often executed high, with a soaring quality; turns are airy and flowing. However, in lyrical dance, sometimes less is more. A de-emphasis may provide a more compelling window into a dancer’s emotions: a succession of quick, small leaps may be executed low, displaying the ever-evolving traces of a dancer’s internal landscape. When the music’s tone is angry or frustrated, dancers use sharp, short movements. Anger is also an emotion seen in lyrical dance. In routines with a strong component of anger, it is common for the jazz portions and styles of lyrical to come out. However, a lethargic, drawn-out quality of movement may show a contemplative or hesitant feeling. When the routine is joyful or peaceful, dancers use lighter, more flowing movements.
Of paramount importance in lyrical dance is the continuation of movement, flowing quite seamlessly from one move to the next. The dancer does not simply “finish” a move and be done. A lyrical dancer holds out the move for as long as possible, and has smooth transitions between others. Employing this connectivity of movement, the dancer may periodically stop or incorporate “sharp” moves (such as an abdominal contraction, a sideways glance, or a leg flick) into a fluid routine, for emphasis. In all, the moves are connected to one another, to the dancer’s feelings and to the music.
Although lyrical is stereotypically choreographed to music that is slow or downbeat, melodic and sweet-sounding, it is a very broad form of dance including many dynamic, fast-paced and sometimes strong pieces. Upbeat, aggressive styles of music are used frequently. Music can be of any genre; pop, rock, and even hip hop/R&B styles, are popular for choreographing. Pop selections, including soulful, powerful songs by emerging artists, are often used in lyrical dance.

How much do you think you'll need to quit your day job?
Nearly half of workers say they will need about $500,000 to retire comfortably, according to an annual survey from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Problem is, 57% have less than $25,000 stashed away, the survey showed.
Why the big shortfall? Workers claim it's their cost of living and day-to-day expenses that get in the way of saving more.
But the good news is, a lot of people admitted they could save $25 more a week than they currently are.
"That would make a huge difference in their retirement savings, especially for a young worker," said Lucas Vandermillen, vice president of retirement services for Principal Financial Group, one of the survey sponsors.
It helps to sit down and calculate how much you'll really need. But year after year, the survey showed at least half of workers say they've never tried to do the calculation.
People tend to spend more time planning their vacations than their retirement, Vandermillen said.
He recommends that workers save about 10% of their earnings over the course of their career.
Despite the lack of savings, people are feeling better about their prospects. Thanks to a rebounding economy, 22% of people surveyed are now confident they will be able to retire comfortably, up from 18% last year, and a record low of 13% in 2013.
The survey polled 1,003 workers age 25 and older and 1,001 retirees.

after saying he hadn't signed a kolpak deal a couple of weeks ago out of respect for CSA, he said was only gonna do t20 cricket..
Hampshire have signed Steyn for the upcoming season. Will be interesting to see if he can stay fit.
He will sell tickets and youngsters like Brad Wheal should be able to learn off him, good news.
It'll be interesting to see how many do turn up to that Surrey four-day game, given that the rumours/expectations are that Steyn, Morkel and Kohli will all be on show. In addition to Abbott and others.
sussexpob wrote: Seriously though, this feels like a bit of a Trump v Mueller vibe where the truth is getting to close for comfort, so its time to try and bully the investigator into silence. I do think Dobell is quite partisan on the issue, but no less than most present on these boards. Dobell is winning my respect recently, I personally find his strive to make the ECB accountable to the cricketing public is a worthy crusade.
I was searching for prominent articles and it looks like they have been taken down. This seems a war the ECB can't win. Even if Graves wins in court, he destroys himself utterly in the eyes of the public. This is quite uncomfortable stuff from a board that will not accept that it should be subject to scrutiny. Remember Giles Clarke saying that the English public can have opinions on the England team but the administration of the national side was none of their concern?
Well the ironic thing is, the Private Eye published an article in which it suggested that Dobell is being sued for portraying Graves unfairly as draconian, saying that the accusation that he ignores due process is factually incorrect. The ECB spokesman then confirmed that the ECB had decided to pick up the legal tab for Graves action, because it was "appropriate in his role as ECB Chairman, we are supporting him". When challenge who "we was" the spokesman admitted the ECB board had not been consulted.
The Private Eye article suggests that the main issue is the use of a picture with Graves sporting a Yorkshire tie, which they feel suggests bias, and the fact that an article Dobell wrote contained a conclusion saying "time for changes, isnt it", evidencing his bias.
It sounds pretty pathetic to be honest. But yes, Dobell seems to be very quiet and the articles have been deleted from cricinfo.
Nothing has been deleted afaia-all still present on the Dobell writers-features link.
This is the particular article that prompted the action, I think.

So many county matches not starting on Day 1. Even toss was not possible. Can't they schedule domestic competition before or after the rainy season.

TBH uk weather is so unpredictable could be hot in may, but a washout in june, july or even august.
next week uk should be hot, going to be hotter than greece.
think london might reach 25 degrees next week.

NEWCASTLE Jets will return to Australia on Tuesday with more than just a trophy and $130,000 in prizemoney after their success at the Super Champions Cup in China.
The three-day tournament, where they beat Shanghai Shenhua (2-0) and Changchun Yatai (3-1 on penalties), gave the squad a taste of what they are likely to encounter if they qualify for the 2019 Asian Champions League.
The Jets face a home-and-away play-off, most likely against a Thai or Malaysian club, in February for a spot in the group stage.
The Super Champions Cup not only gave them a first-hand look at the quality of opposition in Asia but also the conditions they will play in.
Veteran keeper Glen Moss was the hero in the win over Changchun, making three saves in a penalty shoot-out after the scores were locked at 1-all at fulltime.
Moss stood his ground to claim a “Panenka” by former Sydney midfielder and Johnny Warren medalist Adrian Mierzejewski, who signed with the Chinese club on Sunday. The former Kiwi international then made two diving efforts.
Jason Hoffman, Johnny Koutroumbis and Ben Kantarovski converted from the spot for the Jets.
Moss had replaced Jack Duncan, who played 60 minutes in his first appearance since tearing a quadriceps in the A-League preliminary final against Melbourne City.
Kiwi recruit Matthew Ridenton had scored the Jets’ equaliser in the 25th minute after a searching cross from trialist James Virgili.
Sydney went down to Shanghai Shenhua on Sunday, handing the Jets the tournament.
The Jets squad included youth players Angus Thurgate, Keiron Hayes, Pat Langlois, Jackson Frendo and Jack Simmons.
Simmons, 16, scored the match sealer against Shanghai off the bench in his senior debut.

Explain to your insurance company what has happened, and they should respond to any claims you made quickly. Document the damages by taking pictures. Don’t make up stories about the damages, trying to get more money, this can get you in serious trouble.
TIP! Don’t just settle for the first insurance policy you find: shop around. A lot of individuals just renew whatever policy they currently have, in lieu of taking the time to see if there is greener grass out there.
Bundling Ballwin MO Insurance policies together will often save money. For determined rates, it is possible to get a policy that covers both your automobile and your motorcycle. You will be able to find bundles that cover your vehicles and your home. Only purchase the Ballwin Missouri insurance policies you need, and ensure they cover only as much as you require.
In order to obtain a speedy response to your Ballwin Missouri insurance claim, you should be as detailed as possible when explaining your circumstances. Document the damages by taking pictures. Don’t create a story or make the damages sound worse to get more money, since you can get in big trouble for this, in which case, you may not get anything.
A good credit report is a major factor in keeping insurance premiums low. Every insurance company will base some of your premium off of your credit history. If you are thought to be a “high risk”, your insurance agency will probably raise the premiums that you have to pay.
TIP! Sometimes, a good financial strategy is purchasing the correct insurance policy. The lower the deductible on your insurance policy, the higher the monthly premiums, and the higher your protection.
As you seek out an Ballwin Insurance policy, take the time to see what kind of Ballwin Insurance information your state provides. When you do this, you will figure out how much Ballwin MO Insurance costs where you live. When you know the ranges of the prices, you will have a better knowledge of the policies you have to choose from.
If you keep good records, it will make the entire claim process easier. Make a log of all in-person meetings and phone calls to get a timeline of what was discussed and when; it will give you a good understanding of how the claim has been progressing. Always send a letter asking for a written confirmation after talking to someone on the phone.
Comparison shop and research different insurance companies to ensure you buy the best insurance policy for you. Being educated about the different companies can help you receive the best plan. Arm one’s self with as much knowledge as possible so that one can make an intelligent decision when one is ready to purchase insurance.
It is always beneficial to evaluate different options of Ballwin Missouri insurance coverage. Most people have the habit of sticking with the Ballwin Missouri insurance company they have always been with, which is most likely due to not wanting to take the time to see if a better deal is out there. It is possible to save a large amount of money on premiums, so taking the time to shop around is definitely worth it.
To ensure that you’re receiving a policy with only the best insurance company out there, be sure to check the company’s records beforehand. Some states give you the ability to analyze premium comparisons by location and company to assist you in making an educated decision.
TIP! Take the time to consult your state’s insurance agency and see what kind of information they can give you regarding your insurance company, or companies you’re considering using in the future. Insurance companies are regulated by states and information regarding price hikes and complaints must be filed with the agency.
Look over your Ballwin Insurance policy regularly. You might find discounts that you could get, inaccuracies that could be avoided or even extra persons you may have removed. These things can cost lots of unnecessary money, so get out your documents out and scan over them again.
With insurance, there are many options — do some looking around before purchasing. Many websites offer free quotes, and they can compare many companies based on your selected requirements.
TIP! Use the same company for all your insurance needs. Discounts for bundling, or just for having more than one policy, are offered by practically all insurance providers.
When renewing your pet Ballwin MO Insurance, read all of the fine print on the renewal forms. You may be shocked to find that a condition diagnosed in the previous year is listed as a pre-existing medical condition upon renewal with some pet insurers. You should steer clear of the shady Ballwin Insurance companies who practice this sort of business.
You may very well get a good discount if you have more than one policy with them. Get a sense of what they offer, then take that information and use it to comparison shop online where you might be able to find a cheaper deal.
TIP! Companies offer different insurance bundles and may offer discounted pricing for protection of various things, such as auto and home insurance, as long as you insure with the same company. This can save you a lot of money, and can make dealing with your insurance company much simpler.
When it is time for new Ballwin Missouri insurance, check out both your current provider and your potential new companies, by researching them through your municipal or state Ballwin Missouri insurance department. The state regulates Ballwin Insurance companies prices and any complaints are filed with them. Any hikes in Ballwin Insurance premiums must be filed and justified to the state Ballwin Insurance regulatory agency. Look on the Internet to learn what you can from the public record.
You have now the proper tools to select the right Ballwin Missouri insurance for you. Even if you have Ballwin Insurance, you could always find ways to make your coverage better.
Don’t apply for any life insurance that costs over one-hundred thousand dollars if you have health issues that require examinations. This is because you could be rejected from the company. Once you are rejected for insurance by one company, it will be much harder to get insurance anywhere else, or you may have to pay a much higher premium.

Last month, I have shared my routine in Marie Claire Magazine. I’m working 6 days a week, and have a very busy schedule, so it is really important for me to look after myself in the best way possible. That way I found myself very productive and concentrated well at work. In a very busy day, I try to go outside of the office and do some breathing exercise just for 15 minutes, or take a nap, which makes my whole day a lot more productive.
I find motivation and inspiration in a lot of things, but educating myself and reading about inspirational people who have a positive outlook on life and have their own way of healthy routines really makes me want to push myself further. I love meeting people who are over 70 and they say they feel amazing. Longevity is a subject I really devoted myself learning more and more about, and I know every person who lives very long have their own way of understanding of health. Here are my tips and tricks which I find very useful for feeling my best.
my weekly organic produce haul, eating rainbow colours is really important to make sure you get your variety of phytonutrients, minerals and vitamins as well as enzymes.
06.00: First thing in the morning, I do dry skin-brushing. I use an organic brush made with bamboo. It is great for increasing circulation to the skin, encouraging your body to discharge metabolic waste. It also helps stimulating lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins from the body.
I sometimes do oil-pulling. I use coconut oil, swishing it around my mouth for 10 minutes minimum. It helps pulling toxins out and great for teeth. If I run out of time, I use a tongue cleaner to scrape the layer on the tongue.
Next, I drink highly alkaline water (around pH 9-10), and sometimes I add lemon and cayenne pepper in it. It helps increasing the pH of the body and wakes my digestive system slowly.
06.20: I try to go out if the weather is nice, and do some breathing exercise and yoga. I take a quick shower and get ready for work. If I have in hand, I juice fresh wheatgrass, if not, I prepare a green juice. I try to use whatever in season, but my favorite combination is: collard greens, rocket, parsley, celery, lemon, ginger and apple. I sometimes add Raw Reserve powder for boosting the nutritional value.
08.30: Time to start to the work… My appointments start early in the morning. Instead of coffee, I try to have matcha, ginseng or dandelion root tea during meetings.
10.00: One of my beauty secrets is a mixture I drink everyday: organic blackstrap or carob molasses, maca powder and turmeric. If someone asks me ‘What do you use for your skin?’ I always suggest them this miraculous mix. It balances hormones, has a high antioxidant and mineral value. It is also a great anti-inflammatory thanks to turmeric.
I drink this pre-breakfast. Having a late breakfast is a habit I got accustomed to while living in States. I really don’t think eating very early in the morning is healthy. To me, it is best to wake up your digestive system slowly. The best breakfast is only fruit, preferably mono-fruit meals. Sometimes I also prepare oat/amaranth/millet porridge made with homemade oat/almond or hemp milk.
14.00: I usually get hungry again around this time. Smoothie is a very easy and quick lunch, especially if I am working busy that day. But when I mean a smoothie, I am talking about a giant one, around 1.5 liters. I always be careful to combine fruits well to not have digestion problems. If I don’t have any ripe fruits at hand (which is rare, but it happens) I make a big salad with lots of raw veggies, keeping the fat intake low.
16.00: I usually give a seminar at this hour, so to keep my energy levels high, I eat snacks such as dates. I also prefer a juice sometimes like beetroot, apple, cucumber combination.
18.45: Usually three times per week, I use infrared sauna. It strengthens your immune system and comparing to the conventional saunas, it is 7 times more detoxifying.
I do Thai Box with a trainer two times per week, which is my preferred cardio exercise. If I’m travelling, I always bring jump rope with me and skip for 15 minutes (low-high intensity). Other days, I do Ballet Beautiful exercises by Mary Helen Bowers. It is inspired by ballet and really helps you to tone & strengthen your muscles in the most feminine way. I bring the DVD’s with me when I’m travelling and I can do it everywhere, no tools necessary which is great. I also enjoy brisk walking if the weather is good.
19:30: I love my huge dinners. It takes me usually 1.30 hours to finish my meal so I do other things while I’m eating, like answering my emails, reading books & magazines. I love brown rice or quinoa sushi, raw veggie rice paper wraps, mash potatoes or baked ‘fries’, sweet potatoes, homemade kimchi, root veggie soup, big salads… To me dinner is my most important meal. I never restrict my calories because I need energy and I eat very clean foods anyway.
22.00: Some nights I take 30 minutes-long baths, I use Himalayan salt, bentonite clay, ginger, bicarbonate and lavender oil. It relaxes muscles and detoxifies your body. I try to do clay mask on my face while I am having the bath.
22.45: I drink kombucha just before I go to sleep, it is my favorite probiotic source. I always drink it on empty stomach.
After cleansing my face with organic cleanser and brushing my teeth with homemade toothpaste, a deep sleep is waiting for me.
Just remember, having a routine is really great, but so is breaking it. It is nice to have a break sometimes, listen to your body and have rest, eat different foods, enjoy a glass a wine or two with friends. Enjoying variety of foods without restricting yourself is crucial, as well as finding your own balance. If I feel like I over-indulged during travel, I do detox/juice fasting when I return, or increase the plant foods and increase the intensity of my workouts. Again, this is my balance, yours can be totally a different one that suits your lifestyle.

I ordered this dress for my wedding and loved it! It arrived much earlier than the estimated date, and it was simply perfect. A lot of people were worried when I said I had ordered my wedding dress online: What if it doesn't fit? What if it doesn't get here in time? ... Heard all of that! However, the dress was exactly how I wanted it to be and it fits perfectly, I ordered with custom measurements.
The dress is exactly as pictured. I will be getting my hemmed but I bought a standard size so I expected to need some altering.
Das Kleid ist sehr schön und passt super. Frauen mit Konfektionsgröße 34/36 empfehle ich Größe 4 zu bestellen. Die Farbe Wassermelone sieht auch sehr gut aus. Im bin sehr zufrieden und würde jederzeit wieder hier bestellen.
I was browsing through google one day in search of elegant styles for prom dresses when I stumbled upon this adorable looking dress. I instantly fell in love, but was unsure about whether or not to try buying a dress online.After reading reviews and mulling over it for a few days, I decided what the heck - Might as well! The shipping was fast, and the dress looks same as the pictures. A great online shopping exprience!
All thumbs up for LiveDresses, very good experience. Customer service is ok. Will recommend this dress.
Très belle robe bien faite sans défauts apparents. malgré les frais de port et de douane, le prix reste intéressant.
Oh my God...absolutely fabulous. Did not share with husband...as I wanted to surprise him. Dress was a hit. Being a seamstress, I was very inclined to inspect the tailoring....very good, in fact, it was excellent. The workmanship was much better than I have seen from others. I have ordered another dress and cannot wait for it to arrive.
Buenas. Tengo una duda para la compra de este vestido.
its me again... if i will order it this month, when will i receive it? How much does it cost to ship here in sweden? Thank you!!
Can this dress be worn with a birdcage veil?
Jag är mycket nöjd med klänningen! Tack för den fina leveransen också.
I purchased this dress back in April and it took 20 days from the time I ordered to the delivery date. Custom measurements are definitely worth the money! I am extremely happy with this gown, and couldn't be happier!
Ordering this dress was so simple and it shipped quite quickly.
The dress was of good quality and fit . Also just the colour i was looking for!
This dress is GORGEOUS! I purchased it for my daughter for her prom party. She looks so sweet in this dress and she loves it so much. Both The bow in shoulder and the beading in waist are beautiful. the dress fits perfectly using the correct chart.
das kleid ist nach fast 4 wochen wartezeit heute angekommen.es ist wunderschön.tolle verarbeitung und sehr schöner stoff.es entspricht 100% der abbildung vom model.werde nun noch weitere kleidung nach mass bestellen.bin sehr zufrieden.ein kleiner tip,beim messen der größe kann es ruhig einen cm enger sein.kleidung ist wirklich genau nach maß geschneidert.bin sehr zufrieden und kann diese seite nur weiterempfehlen.
Das Kleid entspricht dem Foto! Bin positiv überrascht und werde gerne wieder jederzeit bei Ihnen bestellen.
i LOVE this dress! It fit perfectly, the only thing I needed to alter were the straps that go around your neck. Since I wore my hair down, I just tied them and let my hair cover the knot. I'm 5'4'' so the dress went below my knees, but I was happy with the length. I ordered it in white, and as you can see in pictures it was VERY white. That's exactly what I wanted though. If you don't want the dress as bright as mine I would order it in Ivory. After I bought it I did have a doubts about it because it's a short dress, but I'm happy I stayed with it because it ended up being in the high 80s on my wedding day! It was also different than the "normal" long dresses. very pleased!
Hi Erin. The dress looks lovely on you! How tall are you with those shoes on? I'm 5'11" and I'm just wondering how short the dress will look on me.
Too expensive for the type of dress.
Great service!!! Highly recommend this site to order your contacts, one of the cheapest sites to order contacts from and product came very quickly.I appreciate that the price is cheaper than the other stores.
This dress was more beautiful than I expected. Having it fitted now. My advice to other women please make sure to use their measuring guide. This is very important. I love love love it.
I initially did not believe it could be real but I just decided to give it a trial. My friend and I were stunned when we saw the dress as it surpassed our expectation. I love the dress and I can't wait to wear. Thanks again.

Manufacturing is overlooked when discussing direct sales. Affiliates and end-user consumers look at the finished product. The images of anything coming off a production line do not appear in people’s minds because they are looking at the product from a buying or selling perspective. For the management of a direct selling company such as QNet, production is almost always on the mind. After all, if the special products are not actually manufactured, they cannot be bought or sold.
Some might argue that management of QNet simply has to accept manufacturing costs as the proverbial price of doing business. To a degree, this is true since the company does have to commit a certain amount of funds for production.
QNet is launching a bold new plan in terms of cutting down its production costs. The Hong Kong-based company is planning on moving all of its production to India, a country know for its booming economy, low costs of operation, and skilled work force. All of those components come together and make India a far more attractive location for manufacturing than other regions in the world.
The cost margins that QNet may be able to save thanks to moving production to India are not minor ones. 8% to 10% (possibly 12%) savings on production costs are huge. The funds saved could then be put to use in other areas of business operations. Lowering the costs of the products is another benefit since this makes it easier to facilitate sales.
Better sales figures means affiliate sellers make more money. Once the word gets around that motivated sellers are making good money, more people are going to want to affiliate with QNet. The company ends up growing as a result. QNet also has an India-centric website.
QNet is definitely growing. There are offices in around 25 countries and e-commerce is conducted in many more territories than that. Perhaps after the big move to India, the company’s growth figures might increase even further.
A banner name joined the Citadel LLC investment firm in 2015. This past spring Ben S. Bernanke was announced as one of the newest members to sign up with this Chicago based hedge fund management team. To many individuals the move by Bernanke offers a number of advantages. What could be better suited for his talents than one of the most prestigious US investment firms?
Even though it was begun less than 30 years ago Citadel LLC has rapidly become a top performing Wall Street firm. The company’s founder is multi-billionaire, Ken Griffin who established this financial investment organization in 1990.
Bernanke is well known for his former position as chairman of the US Federal Reserve. Now he is bringing his financial expertise to the table once again. As a member of the Citadel LLC family Bernanke will serve as a senior investment adviser and consultant.

This money can be used to fuel a multitude of financial opportunities for clients at all levels of the investment spectrum. The combination of direction and experience that Bernanke and Kenneth C. Griffin are able to offer practically ensures that investors will see serious returns for each investment dollar.
Hedge fund management is a complicated field that requires access to research, diverse financial strategy planning and innovative approaches to every investment and acquisition. At Citadel LLC there are experts who work tirelessly to construct diverse portfolios, identify the best investment opportunities and limit the risk exposure for their clients. Although every investment does hold some amount of financial risk the Citadel team can devise sound investment strategies that can often strike a balance between the level of risk and the anticipated amount of rewards.
Kenneth C. Griffin founded this company shortly after his Harvard graduation. Within a decade Citadel LLC had become a powerful leader in the financial field. By the time he was 35 Griffin was already a “mover and shaker” and his name was entered into the Forbes 400 as one of the wealthiest US individuals (younger than 40). Griffin was also recognized as someone who could be described as a “self-made” man. He had worked hard to build his fortune and was now able to enjoy all of the rewards.
Both Griffin and his company have been actively involved in community and philanthropic activities during the past 25 years. As a way of giving back to future generations Griffin has even donated millions of dollars to Harvard’s financial aid department.

There are two very famous and highly watched programs. They are the NFL and the NBA. While the NFL is treated with a bit more prestige and weight, the NBA also has its fair share of fans. There have been and continue o be plenty of great athletes that have full careers in the NBA. There are also many good teams in the NBA. One interesting thing about the NBA is what happens behind the scenes. It is what goes on behind the scenes that has an influence on the quality of the teams and how well they play.
One of the things that has influence is the ownership of the teams. The team owners can have an influence in how the team plays and is trained. Teams are often bought and sold. The teams over time will either increase in value or decrease. Their overall value also depends on many factors. One factor in how much the team sells for is the amount of money someone wants to pay for the team. When it comes to the selling of an NBA team, it can be a long drawn out process as one finds a new owner for the team.
One team that was recently sold is the Atlanta Hawks. The previous owner, Bruce Levenson has sold the team to Tony Ressler for a little under $1 billion. The team headed by Ressler includes Grant Hill, a former NBA great. Even though the team sold for a little less than what was anticipated, Bruce Levenson did walk away with a huge profit. The Atlanta hawks under new ownership is sure to continue bringing the valuable entertainment that they have been bringing over the years under Bruce Levenson’s ownership.
The NBA will also continue to provide great entertainment for its fans. The Atlanta Hawks are among many of the great teams of the NBA which feature some of the favorite athletes.

The NBA has been and will continue to be a great company for Basketball entertainment for years to come.

Investment banks help in issuing bonds to help the firm raise capital. On this most of them also the insure the bonds they issue by at times launching new products as credit default sweeps.

They also include in their functions alongside the M&A advisory with services such as corporate treasury, financial management and not limited to risk management. The players in this industry mainly earn money from charge fees and commissions for providing these services and other kinds of advisory activities.
Competition has not spared this industry with investment banks or firms coming up each time with the same services and founded on the famous business ideology of making money. But in the midst of all this, Highland Capital Management has the experience, discipline and the boldness that each client out there is looking for.

Technology is of extreme importance in the business world, as technology proves to be a major asset to companies for many reasons. For example, the use of technology can directly affect the operations of a business or corporation. The uses of technology in the business world will merge together and work to manufacture positive, consumer-driven results that will, in turn, bring in further business to the corporation. The infrastructure offered or provided by technology in the business world can directly affect the culture, efficiency, and relationships within a business structure. Additionally, it can impact the security of information, both confidential and non-confidential.
Most of today’s businesses are subject to continued security threats and even vandalism. Threats such as these can be extremely detrimental, as most modern businesses trade online, or exchange personal information with their clients, whether it is business strategies or banking information. This proprietary information can lead to identity theft, or even the theft of executive decisions and financial data. Technology in the business world helps to keep this sensitive information out of the hands of their competition, and away from individuals who may use the information in a harmful manner. The use or incorporation of technology within the business helps to keep computers and information safeguarded with passwords, ensuring none of the information is accessed or copied by others.
Technology in the business world helps businesses in a variety of ways that typically hover around the concept of doing things bigger, better, or faster than an individual would or could without the use of technology. Widespread uses of technology in a corporation include business communication, increased production, inventory management, and even secured financial record-keeping to help keep sensitive information away from competition.
Shaygan Kheradpir is a business and technology executive, well-versed in the business technology world. Putting his education to use, Kheradpir began his career at GTE Corporation, which later merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon in 2000, where Kheradpir served as the CIO for eleven years. In this position, he led a team of tens of thousands that worked to support IT systems and developed new products. With the large customer base, technology in the business world was of extreme importance. Knowing the effects technology can have in the business world, and the potential threats business are exposed to without advanced technology backing them, Kheradpir worked to reduce the Verizon’s technology spending by roughly thirty percent. He did so by negotiating with company vendors, outsourcing information and positions to India, and simply improving the utilization of the company’s IT assets.
One of Kheradpir’s successes involved outsourcing information and positions to India. A business that has the technological capacity to research new or additional opportunities will stay ahead of its competition companies within the field or industry. Technology helps to complete this process, as the Internet allows for a business or corporation to virtually travel to outside markets without the cost of genuine travel. With this, the use of technology within a business allows for additional research capacity, as Kheradpir had learned with Verizon.
Sender’s keen eye on emerging artists has made his collection the chief assembly of contemporary art in existence today. Sender prides himself with a collection that is very personal to him and rich with pieces that are both intellectually and visually stimulating. His collection also spans many time periods and encompasses various important art movements including conceptual art, minimalism, and appropriation and is known to include many big names in the art world such as Keith Haring, Martin Kippenberger, Dan Flavin and Cindy Shermin.
In May, 400 works from Sender’s collection will be auctioned off at Sotheby’s and is expected to bring in an estimated $70 million. Many of these works will bring in double or even triple what they cost to begin with and makes many people stand back and wonder how Sender has done it. It almost seems as though he has a natural talent for knowing what artists are going to be successful. Sender himself claims that he is just someone who is in pursuit of great works of art. Whatever the reason may be, Sender, written about by BusinessInsider.com, has certainly made a name for himself in the world of art collecting and, although he may be thinning out his collection at auction, he shows no signs of slowing down his quest for amazing works of art.
One can even probably deduce that Sender and his wife will use much of the funds collected at the auction to continue this journey discovering more new talent just on the cusp of greatness.

Glamping - Have you tried it yet?
