There is to me a distinct hierarchy in what falls under the category of life-writing. (I don’t particularly like the term life-writing.) After all, there is life-writing to various degrees in every instance of fiction. Can we still agree with Proust’s biographer George Painter who wrote: “The artist has creative imagination, the biographer recreative”? For me, the most exhilarating trend in modern fiction is the blurring of the boundaries. Fictionality is an inevitable part of autobiography. There is no less artistry in de Beauvoir’s memoirs than her novels, though I’d argue the latter are considerably more successful than the former.
I like novels that exist in the interstices between fiction and autobiography, writers like Tomas Espedal, W.G. Sebald, Peter Handke, Kate Zambreno and John Berger who bring the techniques of fiction to explore autobiography in rewarding ways. Techniques of narratology, such as perspective, temporal structure, and motifs are being used creatively to alleviate the tedium of conventional linear (auto)biography.
In truth, it isn’t a new trend, but something writers to some extent have always done. The threshold between fiction and autobiography in the books of Anna Kavan, Dorothy Richardson, Proust and Virginia Woolf is reasonably thin.
Fiction aside, I prefer memoir to autobiography, autobiography to biography; have a great fascination with writer’s and scholar’s letters and diaries, and like least of all fictional biographies. These designations are simplified without getting into all the other terms used to describe experimental life-writing: autotopography, autofiction, heterobiography etc.
This week I read Jean Echenoz’s Ravel. It’s a short book. I read it twice on a long return train journey, and have spent more time thinking about it since. Why I think many fictional biographies make me queasy is that they use fictional techniques to explore interiority or the subjective essence of a real historical individual. They maintain the freedom of a third-person narrator and yet privilege that narrator with absolute knowledge. To be honest, I struggle with fiction that does the same thing.
Echenoz avoids this trap, and in doing so, can be trusted that the broad story of the last ten years of Maurice Ravel’s life is accurate at a factual level. Ravel then becomes a fascinating exploration into how fame distances its subject from those closest to them. The dramatic reconstruction of Ravel’s unraveling (excuse the pun) and death is disturbing, but Echenoz preserves the emotional distancing to defer a reader’s sympathy. It’s cleverly done and very rewarding. | 2019-04-24T17:10:49 | https://timesflowstemmed.com/category/jean-echenoz/ |

Comcast’s NBCUniversal will launch a streaming media service in early 2020 under a pricing model that seeks to mollify traditional pay TV providers while going after a market dominated by Netflix Inc and Amazon.com Inc.
The advertising-supported service, announced on Monday, will be available at no cost to NBCUniversal’s pay TV subscribers in the United States and eventually across the globe.
Who could have seen that, without net neutrality laws, Comcast would seek to use its dominant position in the low-competition internet service provider market to unfairly prioritize media assets it acquired in a way that other streaming services cannot because they are not owned by a major broadband provider?
Consider that Comcast is working on a Netflix competitor, and that they also own NBCUniversal. It’s not hard to imagine an environment in which Comcast charges Netflix an extremely high rate to carry NBCUniversal TV shows and movies while also requiring Netflix to pay to be in their “fast lane” of internet service.
Comcast could also conceivably offer their streaming service at a reduced rate, or not count it against monthly bandwidth caps. In 2014, Kate Cox of the Consumerist reported that there were plenty of well-populated regions in the United States where Comcast had no broadband competition. As of last year, around 78% of Americans had a choice of zero or one provider for broadband of 25 Mbps or higher. In regions where Comcast is the only option, they could choose to offer NBC and MSNBC at a reduced rate on the web, but charge higher prices to view CNN or Fox News. If you didn’t like this, you could lodge an FTC complaint; but, as long as your ISP were being transparent about these practices, it wouldn’t be deceptive and may not even necessarily be predatory.
I’m not so deluded to think that I was the only one to foresee this, of course; a move like this one was clear to anyone who watched Comcast’s takeover of NBC Universal. The FCC required Comcast to abide by dozens of unique rules as a condition of their acquisition of NBC Universal, but those rules expired last year. To be clear: there is no evidence that Comcast is charging Netflix a newly-increased rate to carry its service at the same speed as, say, Hulu, but they will implicitly charge subscribers more to use Netflix than their own service. | 2019-04-22T12:15:09 | https://pxlnv.com/linklog/comcast-nbcuniversal-streaming-service/ |

I previously wrote an article on why it’s not biblical to baptize an infant. Because of that article, I was invited to join Presbyterian minister Randy Booth on the Moody Radio program Up For Debate to discuss the issue of infant baptism. After accepting this invitation, I took some time to educate myself about Booth’s position. I was actually surprised to learn I was mistaken in my assumptions about why many denominations baptize infants.
He believes the Old and New Covenants are one covenant, the New Covenant simply being a more inclusive version of the Old Covenant.
Because he believes the Old Covenant is still in force, he sees baptism as merely a new form of circumcision, an outward sign that a person belongs to God’s covenant community.
The primary problem with Booth’s doctrine and practice is that it springs from a misunderstanding about how to read the Bible. His belief that the Old and New Testaments are one covenant is a fundamentally flawed understanding. The Hebrew writer, quoting from the prophet Jeremiah, expressly said a New (and better) Covenant had been established by Christ. He said this this New Covenant “makes the first one obsolete” (He. 8:13).
Ironically, one of the hallmarks of the New Covenant is that within the covenant people of God, “no one will have to teach his brother, “saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest” (He. 8:11). What does this mean? Why do New Covenant people (Christians) not have to say to their brethren, “Know the Lord” and why is this different from the Old Covenant?
Under the first covenant (the Old Testament), people became a part of the nation by simply being born and being circumcised as infants. They could (and many did) grow up not being taught about God. One Israelite could say to another, “God says such-and-such,” and his brother could respond, “Who is God?” and honestly not know the God with whom he was supposed to be in covenant. But that cannot happen under the New Covenant.
Under the New Covenant, the only way to come into the covenant community is by faith. You have to know the Lord before you ever come in. You have to hear who He is and what He has done, and upon this knowledge pass through the waters of baptism.
This is why an infant cannot enter into the covenant. If an infant could enter the covenant, the promise that no one would have to teach his brother to know the Lord would be invalidated. You can only enter the new and better covenant by faith in Jesus Christ (see Romans 10).
Do you see? Baptism is not even called circumcision; it is called a burial (see also Romans 6). There are two different metaphors being employed here: a spiritual circumcision that Christ performs and a burial with Christ in baptism. Yes, these things happen simultaneously, but the simple truth of the matter is, Paul did not call baptism a circumcision.
Booth was actually a Baptist minister before he transitioned to the Presbyterian denomination, changing his position on infant baptism. It probably sounds strange to many Baptists that someone would go from the biblical pattern of immersing adults upon a confession of faith to sprinkling babies. But if you consider the Baptist position on baptism, it actually makes perfect sense why he would make that transition.
Most Protestant denominations—whether they sprinkle or immerse—have essentially the same understanding about baptism. They believe baptism is “an outward sign of an inward grace.” In other words, like circumcision, they believe baptism is the sign of the covenant.
It is true that with a covenant, there needs to be a sign, seal, symbol, or token. When God made a covenant not to flood the earth again, He said about the rainbow, “It shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth” (Ge. 9:13). Paul said about Abraham’s circumcision, “He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised” (Ro. 4:11). So the rainbow and circumcision are examples of how God signifies His covenants with man.
But the problem is, baptism is NEVER called a sign or a seal. Never. Not once. This doctrine is completely made up. It is not taught in Scripture at all, but sadly it is believed by millions.
In fact, by saying baptism is the sign of the covenant, they are ignoring what the New Testament actually teaches about the sign of the covenant. The New Testament teaches, “[You] were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance” (Ep. 1:13-14). And, “do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (Ep. 4:30). And, “[God] has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” (2 Co. 1:22).
The Holy Spirit is the sign (or the seal) of the covenant, not baptism. There is no biblical support for saying baptism is an “outward sign” of being God’s covenant people.
I was not given an opportunity to respond when Booth made the argument in the radio debate that baptism is like a wedding ring. He said a wedding ring does not make people married, it is simply a sign that they are married and belong to one another. He said baptism is like the wedding ring—it doesn’t put us into a relationship with God, it is simply a sign that we are already in a relationship with God.
But a biblical comparison would be to compare baptism to the wedding ceremony (which actually does make the couple married) and the Holy Spirit would be like the wedding ring. Our baptism is when we make our vows to the Lord and then the Holy Spirit—like a wedding ring—is given as a guarantee, a seal, a sign that we belong to the Bridegroom.
When a person is immersed in water, like a wedding ceremony, he is making a commitment. Paul says at baptism we commit ourselves to be dead to sin (Ro. 6). Jesus says at baptism we commit ourselves to being His disciples (Mt. 28:18-20). Again, if we are going to use the wedding metaphor, baptism must relate to the wedding ceremony, not the wedding ring.
First, even Booth admits there is no way to prove there were any infants in those households. So any attempt to argue for infant baptism from these passages is an argument from silence.
Second, the people in these households who were baptized, listened to the word being preached (Ac. 10:44), spoke in tongues and praised God (Ac. 10:46), repented of their sins (Ac. 11:18), and rejoiced after their baptisms (Ac. 16:34). These are all things in which infants could obviously not participate. So if there were any infants in these households, they were not baptized.
“But the Bible doesn’t say some in the households were baptized and some weren’t,” Booth might argue. The answer to that is found in passages like Mark 1:5, which says about John, “All the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.” Although Mark recorded that all of Judea and Jerusalem were baptized, he obviously didn’t mean infants, because infants couldn’t confess their sins. He also didn’t even mean all adults, because the Pharisees rejected John’s teaching and baptism (see Mt. 3:4-10; 21:25).
Whether in a household or in a region, when all the people were baptized, it is all the people who had repentant faith.
Many find it difficult to reconcile what the New Testament says about grace, faith, salvation, forgiveness, and baptism. They struggle to understand, “If we are saved by grace through faith, how can baptism have anything to do with that?” Because of their confusion, they concoct explanations for baptism (i.e. “outward sign of an inward grace”) which are not biblical.
The host of the radio program, Julie Roys —who is undecided about infant baptism—seemed stunned by the fact that I believe one must be baptized to be saved. She reacted as if she had never heard of such a position. I explained that the New Testament clearly teaches that baptism, when done in repentant faith, is the moment at which a person is saved.
To prove this point, I quoted passages like Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21 and Acts 22:16 to show that is exactly what the Bible teaches. Yet she, and so many others, are preconditioned to reject any doctrine that ties salvation to baptism…even if that doctrine comes straight from the pages of the Scripture.
It really isn’t that hard to understand. The Lord offers to deliver us from slavery to sin, if we will put our trust in Him and follow Him. Like the Israelites God delivered from slavery in Egypt, we must pass through the water into the Promised Land on the other side (see 1 Corinthians 10:2). When we pass through the water, we become a part of God’s covenant community (the church) and are sealed with the Holy Spirit for salvation.

The anaerobic organisms isolated are part of normal oropharyngeal flora and may represent self-inoculation through nail biting and finger sucking of the patient's own mouth flora onto the finger. This phenomenon is parallel to the acquisition of infection following human bites and clenched fist injuries. In studies that applied methodology for cultivation of aerobic and anaerobic organisms in bite infections, anaerobic organisms were recovered from about half of the patients studied (9). Acute paronychia usually results from a trauma that breaks down the physical barrier between the nail bed and the nail this disruption allows the introduction of pathogens. Activities, such as nail biting, finger sucking, manicuring, or artificial nail placement, can also induce such trauma. | 2019-04-23T03:54:31 | https://www.rrnursingschool.biz/nail-biting.html |

Another huge 6 reel, MegaWays slot from Big Time Gaming, this Holy Diver slot machine sends you back to medieval times in search for wild wins.
If you’re familiar with the Bonanza slot or Extra Chilli slot from BTG then you’ll quickly get to grips with this Holy Diver slot game.
It very much has the same style mechanics with six reels each with varying number of symbols providing a varying amount of ways to win on each spin.
Which can create some exciting spins and winning opportunities as some symbols pay for finding just two adjacent while the bonus features hidden within offer even more value for money.
Along the bottom of the reels you’ll see a full armoured Knight on his quest to help level you up and reward you with wins.
Each real money spin you take sees him venture forward on his quest sometimes encountering chests full of wild features.
Gem Symbols Bonus: Reveals a gem symbol which will turn into a wild symbol and give you a 1x to 3x multiplier depending on your level. Not only that but each gem goes to filling the Shield to the left of the reels which can trigger the free spins.
One of the bonuses show up every 3 spins or so potentially rewarding you with some decent base game wins. We’ve managed over 47x our bet thanks to those wild reels and their multipliers.
But it’s the levelling system and free spins which will determine how big a wins you can get in this Holy Diver online slot game.
There are three levels to this Holy Diver slot, with each one increasing the number of ways to win, the return to player rate and how many wilds you get in the free spins.
When the knight finds gem symbols in the chests, each one he finds will fill the sheild to the left of screen.
Fill the shield with gems and you’ll trigger the Shield of Fortune feature.
Here you have a choice to make, you either stay on your current level and take your 10 free spins or decide to move up a level and not only increase your ways to win but also the wild multiplier.
Obviously it can pay to get to level three but once you reach it and fill you’re Shield for a third time you’ll instantly trigger the free spins.
It can take some time to do and you’ll have to budget a fair amount of cash to trigger them. But with wins over 200x your bet possible on level 2 base game alone it can be worth it.
They might be hard to reach at higher up levels but they can be worth the wait.
Fill your Shield with gems and you’ll get to spin 10 free spins. When you do any gem symbols that appear on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 will turn in to the wild with the corresponding level multiplier we mentioned above.
Not only that but during the free spins the Knight will be collecting diamond symbols as you spin.
This effectively increases your ways to win and reward potential even more.
A feature that can be hard to trigger especially higher up the levels you go but one that much like the levelling up can be worth it.
Is the BTG Holy Diver slot worth a spin?
If you’re a fan of Megaways slots then this is definitely worth a look.
The Knight feature which rewards you every few spins or so provides lots of base game entertainment and overall adds to the gameplay and wins.
The levelling up can take some time, but with a 0.10 min bet and frequent wins there’s a chance to keep your balance topped up while you wait to level up.
With big base game wins possible on any spin thanks to those Megaways to win it certainly keeps you on your toes and keeps the thrills coming.
A decent addition to the Megaways slot games and one that we think many experienced players will come back to time and time again.
Go take the Holy Divers mobile slot or online game for a spin at our recommended casinos and see how quick this Knight can unlock those higher paying levels. | 2019-04-20T17:18:39 | https://www.slotsumo.com/slots/holy-diver/ |

Our next Tea and Tales will be on Sunday, April 14, 2019 during the “Take A Bite” weekend.
We offer a 3 course Afternoon Tea. We will begin with Scones and Savories along with tea. Then we top that off with sweets, and more tea!
When you arrive (seating begins at 12:30), you can look at the 5 tables and choose the one with the setting you like. Tables are set for groups of 4 (seating limit of 20). There will also be a large table with a collection of teapots for you to look at and enjoy.
Our Tea begins at 1:00 and lasts until about 2:30.
We begin the tea with sharing some points of tea etiquette and examples of the “tools” needed for serving tea. While you are enjoying your tea, a local storyteller will share stories about life in early Amana. You can choose to “dress” for tea, wear a fun hat and gloves, or “come as you are”!
We’ll begin taking reservations March 1, 2019.
Tickets are $19.00 per person plus tax. There is a limit of 20 spots.
If your group would like to schedule a private tea, I’d be happy to discuss that with you! I have ideas for different themed tea parties if you are interested.
Our ability to host a tea for your group depends on availability of our Wagon Wheel Room.
There must be at least 16 people in attendance and a maximum of 20.
To discuss having a private tea call Zuber’s Homestead Hotel 319-622-3911 and ask for Bonnie. | 2019-04-22T19:58:11 | https://zubershomesteadhotel.com/tea-tales/ |

Hi everybody. Thanks for the clues Margaret and Stinky. I played up diamonds for 116. That along with the other clues given worked well. I am sure this will go lower. Wait till the big guys play. Good to see you Donna.
Well done Margie. I did it the same way but an awful score. I'm missing something else.

Dave got digitized at the Game Developers Conference--now we won't be able to tell the real Dave from sim-Dave. Powerful new content-building tools mark a new level of development and vastly better games in the near future.
iD software invented quite an industry when they began licensing their Quake engine to other game houses to build new games on top of it. This engine/game content model also gave rise to the mod community, which also tore into game engines, learning their gory details, and yesterday's modders are now today's game designers, with the Counter-Strike (build on Half-Life/Quake) and TacOps (built on UT) teams being prime examples. Now companies including Epic, NetImmerse/NDL and LithTech have also built business units to sell game engine technology to allow game developers faster time to market with games.
LithTech, whose engines have powered No One Lives Forever, Aliens vs. Predator 2 and Shogo, unveiled its new Triton game engine, which will power the upcoming titles Tron 2.0 and No One Lives Forever 2.
According to LithTech, Triton will leverage the assets in the Jupiter engine, and add additional new effects, including environment mapping, and a particle weather system capable of putting 50,000 weather particles (snow, rain, hail, etc.) into a single frame of animation. Triton will also deliver considerably higher real-world triangle rates that will be around 100,000 triangles per scene (around 6 million/sec at 60fps). Triton will also incorporate the Karma physics engine.
Triton: its new flag-ship engine that will be used in Tron 2.0.
Jupiter: engine that will be used in No One Lives Forever 2.
Talon: engine that was used for Alien vs. Predator 2.
Cobalt: PlayStation2-based engine that was used for No One Lives Forever for PS2.
Discovery: a game development system for massively multiplayer online titles, and will be used in an upcoming (still unannounced) MMO title from LithTech's parent company, Monolith.

It's been five months. Five months of daily thinking about writing. Five months of summer, autumn, and winter. Five months of joy and tiredness and excitement and laziness and a bit more tiredness. Five months of all the things. With the exception of writing. And reading, I'll own up to that, there hasn't been much reading going on here.
I've been busy in the era of busy. I try not to be busy. I don't find it cool to be busy, but busy I have been. And tired. And choosing other priorities for my non-working hours, like knitting (lots of!), sewing (a fair bit of), instagram checking (embarrassingly lots and lots of!), instagramming (embarrassingly little of), and chilling (the perfect amount!).
The most beautiful light is coming through the window and part of me knows that my non-writing relates to that, somehow. This light feeds me so many words and that bubbly feeling of inexplicable happiness.
All of a sudden, I want to share. I want to share the world, my world, but mostly the little things. Like how I need a coffee right now because my hands are cold. Tea is for the afternoon, red berries, the only tea I seem to drink these days, making me feel much like the warm winter light hitting the left side of my face right now. Spring is coming, and then summer. I like that.
We're lucky to live here, I can hear the birds chirping away and no other noise.
I have coffee. Black coffee, I'm off cappuccinos these days. It's hot and both my hands and body are in coffee heaven! I also have a massive to do list to plan. At the moment, all the things are going through my head. Literally, all the things. But I have my planner (GTWB, I'm looking at you!) and my notepad and in a moment all these thoughts will be neatly put together to form a list and a plan of action, my favourite! I may need more coffee, especially if I let this one go cold, somewhat of a trend around here as of late (or ever!).
Right, I'm off to soaking up this sunshine and putting my goals down on paper. Have a great Monday! | 2019-04-22T06:03:08 | https://www.littlemissjoey.com/lmj/2017/02/its-been-five-months.html?asset_id=6a01a73d7ba140970d01b7c8d55c60970b |

The Egyptian government has rolled out financial initiatives to support expansion of renewable energy infrastructure as the country gets to ready to host landmark auctions of 4 GW renewable energy capacity.
Egypt’s government has approved new feed-in tariffs for renewable energy projects just weeks ahead of a planned auction of 2 GW capacity each of wind and solar power projects. The electricity minister hopes that these new tariffs will attract bidders to the auctions, and provide certainty to investors.
The tariff regulations are quite comprehensive, and cover small as well as large-scale power projects. Renewable energy projects owned by households would receive 0.848 Egyptian Pounds (LE0.848) for every kWh generated. Commercial power generators would receive LE0.901 per kWh and LE0.973 per kWh for projects under 200 kW and 200 to 500 kW respectively.
Large-scale projects with capacity between 500 kW and 20 MW will be eligible for tariff of US$0.136 per kWh, while projects with capacity between 20 MW and 50 MW will receive US$0.1434 per kWh. The government has set 50 MW as the maximum limit for project size, but requests for higher capacity may be considered.
The government will also provide financial and other incentives to project developers, households, and commercial producers. For small-scale projects, the government will offer low-cost debt financing, while large-scale project developers will be allowed to pay custom duties at concessional rates for imported equipment.
The Egyptian government is expected to launch the auction for wind and solar power projects next month. These auction is part of long-term program which would see the Egyptian government auction a total of 30 GW of power generation capacity based on renewable energy and coal. The wind energy projects auctioned are expected to be commissioned by the end of next year while the solar power projects would be commissioned by June 2015.
Egypt has set a target to generate 20% of the power demand from renewable energy sources by 2020. The emphasis would be on wind energy as the government plans to add 7,200 MW new. capacity by the end of this decade. | 2019-04-26T02:54:05 | http://connect.hu.edu.eg/knowledge-transfer-networks-ktns/renewable-energy/forum/topic/egypt-announces-feed-in-tariffs-for-renewable-energy-projects-ahead-of-auctions/ |

Awareness campaigns against drunk driving have become fairly commonplace because the risk of fatality skyrockets when alcohol is involved. But a recent study suggests drug use may be every bit as perilous.
According to a new study reported in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, in 25 percent of car accident fatalities that occurred between 1998 and 2009, the deceased tested positive for drugs.
Robert Voas, a doctor from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation and co-author of the study, says the high percentage of people who died that tested positive for drugs suggests they may have contributed to the accident.
"The suspicion is there, because when you look at drivers who’ve been in fatal crashes, the percentage using drugs is a good deal higher," said Voas.
The study found that some of the most common drugs that were detected among those who perished were marijuana and stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines.
According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, the definition of impaired driving includes being under the influence of drugs. As a result, if someone is convicted of impaired driving, they may be dropped by their auto insurance provider. | 2019-04-20T23:04:17 | https://www.usinsuranceonline.com/news/article/study-drugs-often-tied-to-fatal-car-crashes-800538211?as=22uzyoj5c0avqrww24a0es2x |
Look #19 – Happy Birthday Second Life!
This week marks the 13th birthday of Second Life. For the celebration there are tons of gifts to be had at many different events on the grid. In my post today I’m wearing just about everything from the fabulous designers who so graciously created gifts to give to us for this special occasion. Check out the credits below and the link here for more info.
I love Second Life. I can’t tell you how much it means to me because there are just no words for it. Well there are, I’m just not very good at expressing it. But I’ll try…..
I deal with some health and mental issues in real life and Second Life enriches and enhances my life because it allows me to do things that are nearly impossible in real life. It gives me an avenue of creativity. It allows me to connect and maintain friendships and relationships with people that, in the real world, I probably couldn’t do. So I did this post in honor of the place that allows me the freedom to be the me that I know is inside. Happy Birthday Second Life! May you have many many more! | 2019-04-21T08:29:17 | https://slearningcurve.wordpress.com/tag/fri-day/ |
Good afternoon Year 12, parents, students and staff. Welcome to our Farewell Assembly for the Class of 2017.
It is with a mixture of pride and sadness that the High staff and I can host your visit to the school today to participate in our annual celebration. We are proud of our graduates for what they accomplished and sad that this is the last time we will see them all together as a cohort of students.
The Class of 2017 will be remembered for the video that sparked so much interest in a male-as-female perspective on women’s issues. It has been a cohort that should be proud of its undoubted achievements in a range of co-curricular activities. I have listed the most significant of these in my ‘Principal’s Message’ contained in your program.
Missing in your program is the historical ‘threepeat’ by our undefeated first grade GPS debaters as Champions, retaining the Routledge Louat Shield for the third time. Such an achievement is unprecedented in High debating.
Whether in sports, community service, music, chess, social justice, debating or public speaking, participation is our key cultural message. The Class of 2017 certainly did participate. I thank each one of you for that. We have had promoted our distinctive ethos through the slogan – ‘You can’t buy spirit’.
The implied strength of our sporting culture is in its belief in mutual support and group perseverance in adversity. We know what you can buy – facilities, equipment, technology, coaches, tours, talented players. These are advantages and head starts but they do not make teams. Team work, shared goals and camaraderie make teams. The joy is in the mutual struggle. Our students participate because they want to. They know it is good for their character and for their personal balance in life; helpful to their team mates; and important for the strength of the reputation of the school.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the senior leadership group for their support: Hugh Bartley, Lucas Wong and Dharmesh Sharma were very committed to their roles. Together they moved the school along a continuum towards greater awareness, understanding and tolerance of diversity in our micro community and the wider world.
Our community service efforts remained impressive. Our Prefects this year supported High’s involvement over recent years in social justice issues. Our Equality Committee is an important structural statement about what we want to stand for as a school.
Thank you for being our student leaders. I want to recognise and acknowledge all the Year 12 parents who are coming to the school for an event for the last time. Thank you for any help you have given to our programs over the years. We value your contributions highly. Without you, we would not be able to deliver such a wonderfully diverse range of activities. We are proud to honour our scholar-sportsmen. We really appreciate those who care enough to plan their busy lives around academics and sport. Such a disposition to find successful balance is the hallmark of the High boy.
We always need more boys prepared to compete in two sports in their final two years at High. I want to thank Ray Gu, Jonathan Zheng, Jake Rowlands and Nicholas Katsilis who competed in three GPS sports each year they were at school (2016 – 8).
Fifty boys participated in two GPS sports each year (2016-49) and seventy-five played one GPS sport each year of school (2016-61).
I want to thank the 97 Year 12 boys who showed such great pride in their school and represented High in at least two sports in their final year at school (2016- 92). Another 80 played one GPS sport (57-2016). More than 81% of the cohort showed their commitment to our ethos right to the end (2016- 71%). That is a statistic to be proud of in a school where participation is voluntary.
Thank you to all our scholar-sportsmen for maintaining and strengthening our ethos. There were 17 boys from Year 12 (2016-19, 2015-14) who competed in GPS first or second grade in two seasons of sport this year. Congratulations to those highly committed boys who represented the school at the highest levels in multiple sports in 2017.
Our ‘Triple Firsts’ this year were: Jake Rowlands and Nicholas Katsilis. Our ‘Double Firsts’ were: Sabesh Murugananthan, Louis Saunders, Alvis Leung, Corey Won, Kevin Guo, Isaac Haddo, Andrew Li, Dominic Leal-Smith, Wanyu Tang, Ray Gu, Daniel Hamilton, Connor Fisher, Jaspar McCahon-Boersma, Kevin Chung and Dallas Yan. In the ‘OneTwo- Club’ were: Matthew Whittaker, Ben Coan, Adam Yang, George Ge, Kurt Wang and Conor McGrath. Our only ‘DoubleTwo’ sportsman was Joshua Ng. Thank you all for your fine efforts! | 2019-04-26T03:51:52 | http://www.shsobu.org.au/principals-farewell-address-to-year-12-2017/ |
As a neutrals kinda girl, I have a pretty big stash of neutral eyeshadows. Yes, I am one of those girls who insists that she needs at least 5 browns in her stash. So I decided to pull out a few similar shades in my stash to swatch them for you guys! I decided to do a compare-and-contrast swatch post with my favourite colour - antique golden brown! I'm not too sure if I'm describing the colours right, but antique gold brown has always been one of my favourite eyeshadow colours. It's neutral without being boring, looks good on almost any undertone, and there's a shade for everyone.
Here's a selection of a few of my antique gold brown shades. Apologies about the crappy lighting in this photo.
Now, here they are all swatched side by side. Fortunately, for the swatches, where colour really matters, the lighting is much better. Yay! There were more, of course, but I thought that it may be best to keep the swatches to colours I felt were more similar to each other.
MAC Patina needs no introduction. It's a great gorgeous neutral antique gold brown, and has a slight pink shift to it that makes it really pretty. The pink shift is slight, and doesn't really show up in my swatch, but it's there.
Stila Wheat is a light, frosty golden brown with shimmer. This is a great neutral barely-there lid colour for most skintones.
I've actually blogged about the Superdrug MUA Eyeshadow Trio in Innocence before, and I liked the eyeshadow. I did note in my previous post that it was similar to Patina and Wheat, so it's great to have it swatched here.
Stila Sparkle is in the same vein as Steila Wheat, but a bit darker and more brown.
Stila Golightly is similar in finish to Stila Sparkle and Stila Wheat, but it's the darkest of all the shades. It's also leaning a little bit more bronze in colour.
There you are, a swatch of some of my favourite gold brown shades. I should have swatched Urban Decay's Ruthless too, but I forgot about it until after the photos (oops). Just goes to show, you can find great colours at any price point!
I'm all about neutrals as well and have an entire palette dedicated to the brown color family. I would still buy more in a heartbeat! I really like the Stila shadows - they seem to have great shimmer paired with bold color - <3 that!
Ohhh... i'm agreeing with you on this one. i love neutral colors too. there's just something about them.
Your blog is such a good source of inspiration, beautiful posts! Would you like to follow each other?
I really like neutral eyeshadows too, but I don't own lots of different shades. This post is making me want more, though!

1. Declutter with a capital “D.” I know- easier said than done. You don’t have to do it all at once- that just creates more stress. Spend a few minutes each day on a particular area- a drawer, a shelf, a box, and sort the contents into keep, donate/sell and throw away piles. The sorting will get quicker and easier as you go and help create an easily-maintained habit. Eventually, you’ll have a fresh, organized environment that’s a joy for you, your family and friends to spend time in rather than a money pit of broken stuff and delayed service, maintenance and repair calls.
2. Take inventory of large furniture items. Can you extend the life of your sofa with an inexpensive slipcover or a vintage bedspread? Can you make minor alterations like painting or adding a towel rack or hooks to your existing furniture pieces to make them more useful in another room? Think outside the box: we have a sideboard that has served as a desk in our bedroom, an entertainment center in the living room, and a coffee bar in the kitchen, depending on our need at the time. A bookcase stores t-shirts, jeans and shoes in our closet. An antique linen cabinet currently holds baking supplies in our kitchen, and a repainted oak dresser stores DVDs and CDs in our living room. So although we needed different furnishings to suit different uses, we didn’t pay more than a few dollars, if any, in alterations each time to get them.

For many women, the early stages of pregnancy can feel similar to having a stomach virus, but some unlucky women actually get stomach viruses during pregnancy. Symptoms such as nausea and vomiting make it difficult for pregnant women to get adequate nutrition, and dehydration is dangerous to a growing fetus.
One of the problems associated with stomach viruses during pregnancy is in identification of the illness. Particularly during the first trimester, most women experience stomach or intestinal upset of one sort or another, note authors Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel in their book, "What To Expect When You're Expecting." Nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, and even diarrhea are not unusual symptoms of early pregnancy. Because these are also the typical symptoms of a stomach virus, it might be difficult to diagnose viruses early in pregnancy. Severe nausea and vomiting are worth a trip to the obstetrician, who can help a woman determine whether she's ill.
Stomach viruses are sometimes called "stomach flu," but are not actually caused by the flu virus, explains the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The medical term for stomach flu is viral gastroenteritis, which means an inflammation or infection of the gastrointestinal tract that is caused by a virus, as opposed to a bacterium. The symptoms, aside from nausea and vomiting, can include headache and fever. These symptoms help pregnant women distinguish viral infection from simple pregnancy-related symptoms.
No medication can eradicate viral gastroenteritis. Antibiotics work well on bacteria, but they're ineffective against viruses. Instead, stomach viruses require treating the symptoms. Maintaining adequate hydration, for instance, is particularly important, because nausea and diarrhea can quickly deplete a pregnant woman's fluid reserves. Dehydration, note Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz in their book, "You: Having A Baby," is much more serious in pregnant women than in those who are not pregnant because the lack of fluid volume translates into a reduced blood volume, which compromises oxygen and nutrition delivery to the growing baby.
Pregnant women, of course, are restricted in the medications they can take because many pharmaceuticals can damage a growing baby. The CDC notes that no support medications are commonly prescribed for viral gastroenteritis. Some nonpharmaceutical remedies that help relieve the morning sickness of pregnancy might also help with nausea related to stomach viruses. Ginger, for instance, is a common home remedy for nausea. Roizen and Oz note that acetaminophen, or Tylenol, is generally considered safe during pregnancy and might help with headaches and muscle aches until the virus resolves.
Unlike the flu, colds and seasonal viruses, stomach viruses are not airborne. Rather, notes the CDC, they come from contact with infected individuals and consumption of contaminated or spoiled food. Pregnant women should avoid contact with individuals who appear sick. Furthermore, while a pregnant woman's enhanced sense of smell might help her avoid spoiled food, it's important to follow food safety rules closely while pregnant. In particular, make certain that those handling food have washed their hands, and avoid consuming cold food that has been out of the refrigerator for more than a few hours.

My wife is away on business this week. I am parenting solo, which is something that I am used to at this point.
Since starting Crossfit and learning about how to improve the quality of my sleep, I have been aware of the impact of blue wavelength light and sleep. I have even purchased some amber lens glasses, although wearing them over my glasses makes it awkward. And it didn’t really make too much of a difference, but I have learned why.
[…] the University of Basel team also compared the effects of incandescent bulbs to fluorescents modified to emit more blue light. Men exposed to the fluorescent lights produced 40 percent less melatonin than when they were exposed to incandescent bulbs, and they reported feeling more awake an hour after the lights went off.
So, while my wife is away I decided to make an experiment of it, Amish Evenings.
An Amish Evening starts at sundown and has no electrically powered lights, no active screens.
I setup candles on the dining table, explaining it to the kids as an opportunity for a fancy dinner. We didn’t turn on the lights when going to bed, reading our bed time stories by candle light. I’m sure they thought it was weird, but by bedtime they were both really ready for bed. I think they were out almost as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
As for me I had a quiet, candle lit evening.
I had my iPhone streaming music to a Bluetooth speaker1. The Pandora station was a jazz standards station, so there wasn’t any need for me to select the next song or skip a song that I didn’t care for.
I journaled and read on my Kindle by the light of a candle.
By 8:302, I was ready for bed. I used one last candle to help guide me up the stairs, get ready for bed and then blew it out. I slept great. The kids did too, although that could be attributed to the Daylight Savings time change.
I am not sure where this is going. It probably isn’t reasonable to drop using electricity at night, but it might be informative as to when to turn the TV and lights off at night. | 2019-04-24T21:45:03 | https://jeredb.com/2014/03/09/amish-evenings.html |

The city’s struggling small businesses are getting hammered with an average 17 percent hike in health-insurance premiums this year, The Post has learned.
* GHI HMO Select and Healthnet plan premiums shot up 30 percent.
* Empire Health Choice plans increased by 15 percent in Manhattan and 7.6 percent in The Bronx.
“Double-digit premium increases — coming at a time when so many New Yorkers are financially struggling — demonstrated dramatically why insurance rates must be regulated,” said state Insurance Superintendent James Wrynn.
Wrynn is expected to announce today that he is joining a coalition of health-care advocates and small-business leaders in a push to give the state the authority to act on insurance companies’ requests for rate increases.
The Paterson administration is urging lawmakers to approve the proposal by leaving it in the state budget.
The companies argue that state oversight of their premiums will lead to artificially lower rates and drive insurers out of the state.
Under a 10-year experiment with deregulation, insurers merely file their rate increases without need for state approval.
The New York Health Plan Association blames higher taxes and medical costs — not deregulation — for the increases.
“The state increased taxes on health insurers by $700 million last year. The taxes now total $4.2 billion,” said Leslie Moran, a spokeswoman for the health insurers.
“The taxes have an impact. They increase each individual premium by hundreds of dollars. How about lowering the taxes?” she said.
One of the proposed health-care reforms now being considered by Congress includes allowing small businesses to control spiraling health-care costs by banding together to bargain for lower rates. | 2019-04-19T20:15:40 | https://nypost.com/2010/03/17/insurers-sock-nyc-small-biz/ |
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers are significantly under-represented in schools, comprising approximately 1% of the teaching community compared to Indigenous students (who comprise 5% of the total school student population).
Increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers is a key factor in fostering student engagement and improving educational outcomes for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.
Progress over the last decade to improve the number and professional capability of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers has been patchy across Australian schools and systems, compounded by limited visibility of education workforce data. | 2019-04-26T04:02:14 | https://connectwith.indigenous.aamt.edu.au/Resources/Weblinks/MATSITI |

Indian River County sheriff’s arrived to the Indian River Medical Center around 12:10 am Wednesday to investigate, according to Sebastian Daily.
The 24-year-old Florida Man told the cops that he arrived home and removed his holster. While taking his Walther PPS 9MM handgun out, he accidentally pulled the trigger and shot his left hand.
He does own a valid concealed weapon license.
His mother heard the noise and woke up. Luckily she did not stand her ground and shoot back. She drove him to the hospital.

Below is an essay on "Child Abuse" from Anti Essays, your source for research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
Child abuse is an American epidemic. In 2005, more than 3.5 million children were reported as victims of child abuse or neglect. The staggering truth is that before today is over, four children will DIE because their little bodies cannot bear any more abuse.
While the rate of deaths from abuse has been decreasing, it is still far too high! 80% of these losses were children age 4 or younger. Infants under one year of age are the most common fatalities.
Children age 3 and younger are consistently the most victimized group.
62% of pregnant and parenting teens were raped, molested, or sexually assaulted prior to their first pregnancy.
and 30% more likely to commit a violent crime as an adult.
In 2005, African-American children, American Indian or Alaska Native children, and Pacific Islander children had the highest rates of victimization. White and Hispanic children had the next highest rates, and Asian children had the lowest rate. | 2019-04-21T16:20:11 | https://www.antiessays.com/free-essays/Child-Abuse-224331.html |
In Team Erica, we have been designing an iOS application that allows Erica to communicate with her desired audience in around three taps on her home screen. Our vision of the app and its layout has been simple to deploy within XCode, the only application that Apple authorizes for software developers to build applications across the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch product lines.
Nonetheless, in implementing the actual functionality of our application, we have encountered a few hurdles. Compared to other mobile platforms such as Google Android, Apple iOS places strict limits in certain freedoms apps developed by third parties exercise. One specific instance of this is in sending emails. We intended that our application be able to programmatically send emails in the background to certain contacts after a simple button press. However, Apple does not allow app developers to access the user’s email credentials and send an email message without an explicit preloaded message appearing for the user to confirm. Since the confirmation button is very small, we wanted to avoid having this screen. Thankfully, after some web searching, we were able to find a workaround by implementing the ‘MailCore’ API that is able to programmatically send emails by directly accessing email servers, bypassing Apple’s Mail framework.
For sending text messages, we encountered a similar challenge, solved by implementing the Twilio API text messaging service. As opposed to MailCore, Twilio, however, is not free. In an average case, it costs around 50 cents per month for a single person to use the service. As a team we have been debating who would assume this cost: Erica or someone else? Organizations place restrictions on the freedoms third party developers can exercise in their apps to conserver user’s privacy. Should assistive technology applications be the exception?

I have known Brian for many years and can say there is not a harder working person in the repair business. Brian and his team are always quick to respond and always seem to find a solution. Our business is always changing with new products and Brian is quick to adapt. I truly believe there is nothing out there that they cannot repair! Brian is a honest and a trusted partner and I have been happy to know him and do business with him for so many years. If you need a great service provider and a long term partner, Brian is it!
I have had the extreme pleasure of knowing Brian since early 2008. He is one of a kind when it comes to his kindness and generosity to both his friends, business partners and employees. He runs his company the way a company should be run, by putting his people first. Doing business with Brian is a win-win situation, he and his employees can solve any problem put in front of them.
Working with Brian over the years has always been a pleasure with his passionate drive to give outstanding customer service and discover innovative ways to improve the repair process backed up by his dedicated team. He is always eager to find new products to diversify his repair portfolio and provide those services to his clients. Brian has a keen eye to be able to understand the needs of the business while maintaining competitive pricing for his services. There is no challenge that Brian will walk away from and I look forward to the next opportunity to collaborate with him in the future.
I have worked with Brian for years and have always found him to be a great partner and resource to our community. Brian has proven himself to be resourceful, trustworthy, accessible and accountable and he is always my first call when I have need for repair, assembly and even some new product development services. I always look forward to the opportunity to work with Brian and am happy to offer him my highest recommendation.
Brian and I have worked together for many years when PSR was one of my Key repair vendors in the warranty space. Brian is highly respected in the consumer electronics industry and found his professionalism, integrity and commitment to drive the right solution quite rewarding which also played an integral role in the success of PSR. I highly recommend Brian and his team to any organization that are in need of quality service.
Since we started using PSR, we have been able to bring better customer service to our many customers by offering repairs to there consoles at an affordable and quick turn around time. Our repair intake has doubled over the last couple of months thanks to reputation that is being built at our store, all because of the efforts of the PSR team. Now that PSR handles the majority of our repairs, we have been able to focus more attention on other parts of our business, and try to get the results that we have gotten from the PSR team.
Working with PSR has been great my customers get their systems repaired, its a quick turnaround and comes with a 90 day warranty. | 2019-04-22T12:07:09 | http://www.psr1.com/testimonials.php |
Over the course of the last nine years, we’ve built more non-profit websites than any other single industry. We don’t necessarily label ourselves as non-profit website builders, but we’ve essentially become that by default.
While we do work for lots of organizations and many industries, we have a special affinity for non-profits. We commonly find that their missions, values, and principles align well with how we like to run our business. Honesty, helpfulness, and high-quality service are at the forefront of what they do, and we consider ourselves to be driven by those same motives.
Non-profits rely heavily on various revenue sources such as grants, donations, and sponsorships to fund themselves. This means that every need or desire they have that requires funding will undergo scrutiny from the organization’s management and board members in order to get approved.
Unfortunately, due to the scrutiny of every penny that gets spent, non-profit websites (and marketing in general) end up getting pushed aside in favor of the more pressing needs.
A website seems more like a luxury than a necessity much of the time, especially when money could be allocated to helping people, which is commonly the mission of non-profits.
The truth is – websites are still incredibly important. They are the face of the non-profit to so many people who may not otherwise get to interact with the organization or its people. Not to mention the direct return on investment to be had through a well-placed donation portal surrounded by compelling messaging.
Since we know how important non-profit websites are, and how difficult it can be to get websites cleared in the budget meeting with their board and management, we provide increased flexibility in working with non-profits. We not only work to meet their needs within their available budgets, but we also adjust the billing of our projects to best meet their needs. If we need to separate payments out so that it straddles the fiscal year – no problem. Break up the cost into more payments of smaller chunks – sure thing.
The point is – we understand where non-profits are coming from and what challenges they face, and we’re happy to be flexible to make things work.
2. Non-profits work on a different timeline than most organizations.
As mentioned previously, budget decisions often go through intense (and elongated) scrutiny from their boards. That’s why we not only bend over backwards to make the budget and payment plan work for the organization, but we also realize that these decisions take time.
We’re never pushy toward our non-profit websites prospects. We know that there are a million other things going on, and board meetings only happen every so often. From time to time, the board meeting might get so “in the weeds” on another topic that the website conversation on the agenda has to get pushed back to the next month’s meeting! Guess what – we understand.
With many companies, we are able to have a conversation, shoot over a project proposal, and have a decision the next day or next week. With non-profits, we understand that from the initial conversation to the time that the board actually decides on the website, the timeline can often take the better part of a year – if not more.
We consider ourselves a “Thoughtful web design agency,” and part of that thoughtfulness is having an understanding of our clients and their situations. Go ahead, push the website back and back and back on the priority list. We’ll be here waiting patiently and excitedly for you when you decide to move forward on your new non-profit website with us.
3. Non-profits are passionate – and are a blast to work with.
Everyone knows that people don’t start or work for non-profits with any ambitions of getting rich. They do it because they care about a cause and pursue their work with passion.
When we’re able to come alongside non-profits and help them to achieve their goals, it is one of the most gratifying feelings we can get. The reason we’re flexible and patient with non-profit websites prospects is that we know that it’s worth it in the end to be able to partner with a great organization and great people.
If you’re a non-profit organization looking to get a new website, we would love to work with you. We’ve built a wide array of non-profit websites (like this foundation, this library, and this camp for terminally ill children), and we’d be thrilled to add your organization to our portfolio of amazing non-profits we’ve worked alongside.
Big Imprint has been extremely helpful through all the changes, coaching, and development of Regina's updated school and foundation websites! I would recommend them to anyone seeking high quality developers who have great work ethic and communication skills!
Big Imprint helped me to accomplish much more than I would have been able to do on my own. Without them I'm sure I would be sitting at the computer tweaking and tweaking and still not have an on-line presence. Now I can focus on my writing. Their feedback on my ideas gives me confidence moving forward. Their rates are reasonable for someone starting out and the quality makes me feel proud to share about my website.
I was desperate, looking for a company that could help with a simple website code update. Most companies only take on large/complete projects, mine was only an hour or two worth of work. In speaking with Ethan from Big Imprint, I was ensured they could take on my small project and in a timely manner as well. They were able to squeeze it into their workflow and by the end of the week it was completed. They saved me hours/days of me trying to figure out how to change the code. Ethan was professional, courteous, and patient, great representative of Big Imprint. Big Imprint is a firm that I will use again!
I'm the director of communications at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & Southwest Washington, and we just used Big Imprint for the first time to update our website in order to meet current accessibility standards. The BI team did a great job, moved quickly to execute the project in a timely manner, and kept the budget very close to their estimate. Ethan was great throughout. We'll definitely call them again!
Big Imprint was a crucial partner as we relaunched our website. The flexibility, creative awareness, and willingness to let us make the site fit us was a great asset. Thank you to the project manager and developer who quickly and accurately handled the many questions and changes we presented to them. Highly recommended by us. | 2019-04-24T01:52:59 | https://www.bigimprint.com/building-non-profit-websites/ |

The Story of the Jews Part 1 out of 5 by Simon Schama.
The acclaimed BBC documentary series, an offbeat and often surprising history over 3000 years by British historian and TV presenter Simon Schama, is recommended viewing for everyone in our community. The first part, just under an hour long, will be screened this Sunday.
“The Story of the Jews promises to be not only a chronological history, but also a common narrative of what unifies and fortifies Jewish people”.(Neil Midgeley, Daily Telegraph).
For The Guardian, Arifa Akbar said: “Simon Schama’s story was as much an investigation into identity as it was the beginning of a difficult history”.
Writing in The Observer, Andrew Anthony called it “an astonishing achievement, a TV landmark”.
David Hinckley, for the New York Daily News, said: “Schama doesn’t downplay the persecution and martyrdom of Jews throughout history. Neither does he let this interfere with his clear mission of portraying Jewish history as a tale of triumph and celebration”.
Robert Lloyd, TV critic for the Los Angeles Times, said that Schama “has produced a series that is at once informative, entertaining, thought-provoking, heart-wrenching and, in its final episode, in which he confronts the paradoxes of modern Israel, more than a little maddening. Like the religion and the culture that surrounds it, each of which loves an argument, it is inconclusive and open to discussion”.

Several years ago, I made a OOAK art doll to represent the "Queen of the Night", from Mozart's "the Magic Flute". The doll went on to a new home, but I've never been able to get her costume out of my mind.
Ever since getting into the BJD costuming hobby, I've wanted to make a duplicate of that costume for one of my ball-jointed dolls. The problem was always deciding which doll to make it for, and finding enough time between commissions to actually make it. I still had left-over supplies of most of the materials, so decided the doll would have to be an MSD size, to better approximate the size of my original doll.
Now that I'm actually going to start working on the costume, I've decided to document my progress in this "Creative Adventure" album. I won't be sharing patterns - just my ideas and techniques - but maybe those will be interesting or helpful enough.
One of the main things holding me back from starting the Queen of the Night costume, was finding the right main dress fabric. I still had enough of everything I'd used for the original gown - except that embroidered blue taffeta. I've looked everywhere, and have purchased at least eight different dark blue fabrics from which I'm now going to have to choose.
Preliminaries - Who Will Become Queen?
In the summer of 2013 I finally decided my Iplehouse JID Asa would become my "Queen of the Night". She had faceup chipping issues, and needed a new faceup anyway. I'd recently acquired JID Soa, and she could step into the costumes and characters that were originally created for Asa. So I brought my Asa away to Charie Wlison Grenier (who does all my doll's faceups) for a new more dramatic faceup.
Asa's new faceup was perfect for the character! Now she needed the costume.
I usually make tights to go under my doll's costumes, but wanted to keep bulk at the waist to a minimum, so made stockings instead.
Soa was my stocking and underwear model while Asa was away getting a new faceup.
The pantaloons are of fine cotton, and I decided to make them fancier by adding a lace insert above the knees.
Added some blue & purple silk ribbon bows and a purple paper rose as embellishment.
so am not going to stress over making everything exactly period perfect. All I want is something stable to hold out the skirts.
will take on the proper shape.
time I need to make one of these it can be made altogether in one piece, and that should be a lot easier.
Jan 27 - I have to design the pattern for the underskirt, but am not sure yet what length to make it. I want to switch Asa's body with my new Leona who has the newer JID girl body and the larger glamour bust. The new bodies stand about 1/2 taller at the shoulder than the old bodies, so the skirts will need to be lengthened accordingly. I'm going to use Leona to design the skirt patterns.
In the meantime, I've painted the edges of the blue flower petals that are going to be sewn onto the underskirt. The petals are from blue poinsettias I bought many years ago. The veining in the petals reminded me of the underbelly of a dragon. I wish I'd bought more of them, as I've never seen them again. Fortunately I do have enough petals for my Asa's gown, but I'll have to use the less pointy ones I didn't use last time. After painting any light edges a dark blue, I brushed on some silver glitter paint.
But first the basic skirt. Both fabrics I'm using are sheer metallics, and the pale periwinkle blue is especially thin and flimsy, so it needs to be supported by white cotton backing. I lay the two fabrics on top of each other, smooth them out and pin the layers together. After tracing the pattern onto the back of the cotton, I cut out the skirt, but decide not to cut out the darts.
The pale blue fabric is so flimsy, and moves so much, that I want to first sew the two layers of fabric together.
fabric from moving, there's still a small spot on the back hemline that doesn't match.
length of skirt to aim for, and using a ruler, measure and pin a line around the bottom where I want the ruffle to go.
glamor bust body. The resin match is excellent. All she needs now is some blushing, and her own hands.
Feb 1 - The first layer of embellishment is now on the underskirt. I hand-stitched on the fancy blue lace - first sewing along the bottom edge, an inch above the ruffle, and then all the way around again tacking down everything on the fancy upper edge. The work went very slow, as handwork always does - it took over three hours!
Hand-sewing is very labour-intensive, and this is just the very beginning. I've gathered all the trims and beads that need to go on the underskirt. There's three different petals from Christmas Hydrangeas, purchased the same year as the blue poinsettias. They will all only go on the front half, as there's no point putting all that detail work into something that will never show.
February 3 - I stitched the final row of velvet petals onto the skirt, then measured how much ribbon I'd need for the puffs that will fill the space between the lace and the petals. The bottom edge of the ribbon needed bead embellishment. I used the picot stitch, but used three beads in the middle each time instead of just one.
After beading the edge of the ribbon, I carefully divided it into six equal parts, and pre-stitched each section.
I gathered all the trims I'd need for the puffs.
having several JIDs who can step in for each other. I just can't work on the bodice, because Soa has the small chest.
floral embroidery. I spent years looking for a replacement - something that would come reasonably close.
I'm going to have to choose from these six fabrics. The metallic velour comes closest pattern-wise, but it's so completely period-inappropriate. The flocked organza is very nice, with appropriately scaled flowers, but it's a sheer fabric and will need a lining - which is why I bought the plain taffeta. The flocked taffeta is the right kind of fabric, but the flocked flowers are way too big a scale. The silk brocade is nice but the silver birds and flowers stand out too much. I wonder what would happen if I over-dyed it?
I'm just going to have to play with them all and see how they look, and how they drape. Then I'll have to decide.
February 4th - I've decided to go with the plain dark blue taffeta. It doesn't have any patterns or embroidery, but it drapes the best, and will look very elegant with all the more elaborate parts. The back of the gown will be covered by the sheer cape with sparkly stars and moons anyways, so that can create interest in the back. So now I have to come up with an overskirt pattern.
I use some old sheeting, pin it in place, and cut for the skirt. That will be my pattern. I just need to add seam allowances. I've tried to tone down the colours a bit in the photo above, so they are more like what the colours look like in real life. The blue lace is still a bit too dark, but the other colours are pretty good.
The Queen of the Night is one of the main character from Mozart's "the Magic Flute". It actually takes place in ancient Egypt, but when I made my original Queen, I was going more for the style the original costumes would probably have been - in the period fashions of the day. I was assuming that Mozart pre-dated Napoleon and his adventures in Egypt, so costumes and sets would be pretty much left up to the imagination, since they didn't know about true ancient Egyptian styles yet. I could be wrong, but that's what I was going with. So, when I made my "Queen of the Night" I decided to make a roughly period-style gown in dark, rich blues and purples like the night sky, with lots of sparkles and glitter to represent the stars.
February 5 - Yesterday I cut out the overskirt and hemmed it by hand - which took quite some time. I machine-stitched the front openings as they won't show under the embellishment, but the hem will, and they didn't have sewing machines back in the Rococo period, so a machine-stitched hem would look totally wrong. So, it had to be hemmed by hand.
February 6 - Finished the beading on the second side, and it was time to attach the skirt to the waistband. I cut the waistband out of the dark blue fabric, and because the fabric frays super easy, I Fray Checked all the edges. I had originally planned on having the skirt open at the front, but it would mean being super exact with the measurements. I figured there would be more leeway if I made the opening at the back. Then if the waistband was a bit wide, it could overlap a bit - something that would not be possible if the waistband opened at the front.
The top of the skirt was going to be very bulky to gather onto the waistband, so I decided to sew darts at the top, in order to reduce the amount of fabric. I sewed sixteen darts across the top of the skirt, and trimmed off the excess fabric, zig-zagging the raw edges. It's a good thing I went with a back opening, because the waistband ended up overlapping by almost an inch.
Here's the overskirt with the side panels pinned back.
The next step is to sew the embellishments onto the other side of the snap, but I had misplaced the small bag with glitter-edged, sheer flower petals I needed to make some flowers for the tie-backs. It had been right there in the morning, but disappeared later. I looked everywhere - twice, but couldn't find it anywhere. The next day, I was cutting silk ribbons, then realized I'd had the silk ribbon drawer out the morning my baggie with flower petals disappeared. So I went to look, and sure enough, there they were, right in the top. I made two flowers out of several sets of petals, and painted the stems on the ribbon roses.
February 9 - Time to draft the bodice pattern. This is the very first time working with a glamour bust so I have to start from scratch - almost. I folded a paper towel in half and traced the neckline from a small bust pattern, cut it out, and using painter's tape, taped it into position onto her shoulders. Then pinned it center front at the bottom. I drew the darts and seams just on the one side. Then I removed the paper towel folded it back in half along center front, and cut out the "pattern".
test bodice out of white cotton, cutting off all the outer edge seam allowances, and stitched it together.
February 10 - I traced the bodice pattern onto iron-on interfacing, pressed it onto the navy taffeta, and cut it out.
I positioned a poinsettia petal in center front, and basted it into place.
stitch all the way around the outside edge - top, back, and bottom edge - and turn it right-side-out through an armhole.
After turning the bodice right-side-out, and sewing the sleeves, I basted all the edges so it will press better.
I tried the separate pieces on Asa to see how they look.
the basting, turn the bodice inside-out again, and re-stitch the neckline, making it open a lot further.
the bodice was back with the good side out, I stitched the lining to the bodice fabric around the sleeve openings.
The bodice looked much better with the new adjustments, so it was definitely worth the extra effort.
Like, why bother switching Asa to a glamour bust if her cleavage isn't even going to show?
then touched up the front flower petal with paint and glitter. Also touched up the last five petals.
sleeve before I stitch the sleeve into the armhole. And then I'll finish the bodice neckline.
the bottom of the sleeves so they'd be higher in front, and lower in back, but thought they didn't come down far enough.
So I reworked my sleeve pattern, inserting a half inch. Then I cut it out of the fabric. But, when I was measuring the length of the light blue ruffle, I changed my mind, and decided the sleeves were the proper length after-all. I thought the light blue ruffle seemed too plain, so picot-stitched periwinkle blue beads along the entire bottom edge. The beading makes my eyes go wonky, so I stitched both ruffles on the first sleeve, then took a picture since it was getting late in the day, and I was losing the light.
get to the elbow embellishments this evening, as I'm very tired today. But after all, "tomorrow is another day".
February 14 - Today things are going a lot better today. The end is coming into sight, so I'm getting excited to finally see everything come together. I sewed the ruffles on both sleeves, and sewed on the petal trim. I used the glue gun to glue on the roses and ribbons. I usually prefer sewing to gluing, but with all the bits of embellishments sticking out and catching the thread at every stitch, I opted for the glue gun. After the sleeves were done, I sewed them into the bodice armholes.
Next step was to sew the upper bodice puffs from the sparkly purple ribbon, and bead both edges.
I gathered and beaded the purple ribbon along the neckline and stitched the ribbon puffs in front.
Finished with a blue paper rose. With the bodice finished, I was finally able to lace it up the back.
I've been keeping an eye out for just the right necklace, but haven't found one yet, so decided to make one for the time being. I borrowed my Ryung's necklace as a model, and chose clear, silver, blue and red beads, and made the necklace.
stand-up collar with the last five poinsettia petals. Then I have to make a wig.
The cloak is made of a soft black tulle covered with stars and moons. They are gold on one side, and silver on the other, but when the fabric lies gathered in folds, both the gold and silver show.
Now I need to make the wig. I had originally thought it should be silver-gray, like the original, but I like the dark brown of the wig she's been wearing. I find it has a softer look than a gray, white or black formal wig would have, and the brown compliments the maroon and gold embellishments on the dress. I've gone through my bags of brown mohair and there's lots the same colour as the wig she currently has on. I've crocheted a wig cap, but don't want to tackle the mohair today, as it's always a huge mess, and we are getting overnight company, and don't want to have to stop halfway through. I'll just work on the hair embellishments, and maybe tackle the wig tomorrow.
February 17 - Today I have to tackle Asa's new wig. I've crocheted the cap, and have started sorting through the mohair. I found two bags of 'Very Dark Brown' which were purchased from Edgewood Angoras many, many years ago. Back then Edgewood Angoras raised angora goats specially for doll hair, which they sold at local doll shows. The mohair was dyed and sold in baggies marked with the name of the goat the mohair came from. They had a lot of goats, and some had way curlier hair than others. The mohair I'm working with today comes from 'Justinia' and 'Mandrake'. The mohair locks range from 5" to 8" long and are quite curly.
I'm going to have to strip Asa down to her underwear - or less - as I certainly don't want her gown covered with mohair and bits of plant debris as I work on her wig.
To make the wefting, I stitched the mohair onto paper, then removed it from the paper. It took a long time to prepare enough mohair, as much of it was very matted and full of plant debris. I ended up covered with al the bits of plants debris and had to vacuum my clothes and the whole areas I was working.
I applied the mohair with my glue gun, first gluing the shorter curls around the front of her face, and the longer hair in the back of her neck. Then the wefting was applied one layer at a time. When I was done gluing, Asa looked like she was lost in a giant afro. But as messy as it may look, I did apply the mohair in very specific layers.
The next step is to remove the wig, soak the hair in lukewarm water and comb it thoroughly.
That will reduce the bulk considerably. Then I have to start styling it.
on with a specific hairstyle in mind. It's still extremely poufy, as the mohair has not been combed down yet.
I separated out the very front layer of hair and secured it with an elastic for now. I combed out all the other outer hair and tied it back onto the first ponytail. My plan at this point it to thread the top layer of hair at the front through the tiara I'm going to make, and then secure the hair into the ponytail.
make my own to better match the gown. I wired three layers of beaded loops to create the tiara.
I chose some nice blue and purple feather fluffs, and wet them, and folded into paper towel, wrapped them onto tiny curlers.
hair back and secured it into the ponytail. Then combed the ponytail, divided it into two, and braided each section.
I wrapped the braids around to create a small bun, and stitched it into place. Then I combed the front bangs. I took the wig off the doll, and gave the wig a thorough spray with hairspray. I covered Asa with a large piece of plastic wrap to protect her from the hairspray, and combed out the back hair and put it onto five curlers.
*Note - NEVER use hairspray on an unprotected doll. It will react with the sealer and ruin the faceup. I know this from first-hand experience having accidentally gotten hair spray on my Narae. I was in a hurry, and knew enough to cover her face with a paper towel, but the spray still touched the resin around the edges of the paper towel, and reacted with the sealer causing white spots.
February 21 - I did all the wig-finishing and embellishing last night when there wasn't good lighting, so there are no under-construction photos. After removing the curlers, I sprayed them and let them dry. Then I stitched on the tiara, and hot-glued all the embellishments I'd prepared, into the wig. After everything was glued on, I applied glitter paint and tiny stars. | 2019-04-19T16:56:05 | http://www.antiquelilac.com/queen-of-the-night---a-creative-journey---tutorials.html |

What is it about planes and altitude and perspective ? What is it about long haul flights, and seven uninterrupted hours to oneself ? What is it about not having recourse to a 24/7 feed of social media, be it Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, What’s App or Twitter, just to name a few ?
As the plane takes off, the world shrinks away, the tyres fold in, the horizon blurs, the skies still, I realise that with a handful of captivating new Hollywood and Bollywood releases to choose from, glossy magazines to skim through, emails to wade through, a riveting thriller to finish, I also have the option to just be by myself. It is a lovely thought, I fasten my seat belt, I order a coffee and sit down to a date with me.
Right there, ensconed at 40,000 feet and surrounded by baby blue skies, it feels okay to switch off. It’s rare in this day and age to stay still for a while. There is something life affirming about being in the moment. I notice that more and more, every time I teach a yoga class. I am always fascinated by how the level of stillness and calm in a group in the room increases as one just breathes deeply, in the moment and meditates on one point of focus. Yet, ever since social media found its way into our lives, our homes and then our relationships, the minutiae of life is being captured and then lived online and the points of focus are now many and fast moving.
Now we can check-in to let our friends know where we are at, in the world. Finished a book, check in on Scribd and let everyone know what we are reading. New outfit, Instagram it. A mood board, Pinterest it. Reached a party, Facebook it and then sit back, and enjoy the likes and online validation. Starting a new business, create an Instagram account tied into a Facebook account or a Linked In account. Then consolidate all these social media into a blog. The whole landscape of how we live, of how we capture and define ourselves is rapidly changing.
At one end of the spectrum, maintaining a social media presence is hard work and at the other end of the spectrum trawling through the reams of information and news feeds, is in itself a part time to a full time job depending on how earnestly one throws oneself into the task. Very few people don’t have a social media presence, and they may as well be as extinct as the last mammoths of the Ice Age. Yet, time and again studies are beginning to show that this online world, while having its own merits, is in no way a substitute for the real world. That is something, we all intuitively know and understand.
With that thought, I find myself going back to my New Year’s Resolutions.
Is it something about the promise of the New Year, the chance to reset the clock to zero that appeals to us ? The ability to start afresh, wipe away the old slate and bring in the new ? It is a symbolic moment, 1st of January, even though one wakes up, very much, the very same person as the night before. Still, it is an important milestone in the calendar of life’s journey. A new year does somehow bring in the promise of a fresh start.
But what are the top three resolutions we would all vote for ? They differ according to where we stand in our journey in life. For my friends and I, in the fourth decade of our lives, we are told that forty is the new thirty, just like every season red is the new black or grey is the new black or sometimes, black is simply the new black.
Every New Year starts with a surge in gym memberships, a plethora of detox diets to choose from, 21 day bootcamps, a host of new fitness classes to pick from, a flurry of emails usually entitled something to the tune of “New Year, New You”, “Mindful Me”, books that promise “Lean in 15”, diets that promise the pounds will simply slip off and last but not least, juicing recipes that promise they will leave one energised and revitalised.
But the way I see it, the question we are asking of ourself is, what do I really want to commit to, for 365 days a year ? A straw poll suggests that we all want to focus on what matters most to us.
Health usually comes out at the top. We all want to feel better and fitter, radiant and energised. Fitness comes in many forms, but the holistic triad seems to centre on physical well-being, emotional fitness and mental strength.
How often have I cut out the carbs, only to sneak in a slice of cheesecake (arguing that it’s not really a carb but a form of protein by focusing on the word cheese and ignoring the “cake” part). How often have I gone to the gym but decided to do my emails while waiting for a treadmill. So, really, while it is easy to making a resolution, it’s only effective if one truly resolves to adhere to it. Therein comes the consistency. Showing up everyday to one’s resolution and then sticking with it and ticking it off, every single day.
It is the sum of these small steps that will add up to the transformative changes one wants to see at the end of the year.
Family also always comes out at the top. Making time for and spending time with those we love, those who are “our tribe”. We spend so much time with our devices and our screens. But perhaps the scourge of the devices needs to be replaced and it is time to power down the phones and tune in to real conversations. To listen and to be listened to, is more powerful than one can even imagine.
A lot of us want to find our long lost passion, or kindle a new one and then consistently work at it. Scheduling a new hobby into the diary, at the same time every week, is a good place to start. Be it that “once a week fitness class’, or drawing up a timetable to train for a marathon, starting a book club, or signing up to an art class, putting on one’s gloves and doing the gardening, picking up a tennis racket and getting back on the courts. There is no better time to get started than now.
Perspective puts things into context. As the plane slowly begins its descent to landing and the seat belt signs come back on, I make a mental list of all the things to do once I arrive. There will be countless unanswered emails, missed calls and what’s apps to sift through. But there is also the realisation that in the busy-ness that characterises day to day life, one has to carve time to look after oneself, to connect with one’s world and to grow and contribute in a positive way. Thinking calmly and intelligently, effective planning and preparing will go a long way in creating that time where we evolve into the person we resolved to be on the 1st January !
If one knows where one wants to go, the human spirit will find a way to get there.
‘There is no better time to get started than now’…brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed the natural style of writing!
Thank you Mariyam dear, so glad you enjoyed it !
A reminder of slowing down and thinking about what really matters beyond our virtual existence. Beautifully written with genuine thought.

Mystic Rose is a three-week therapy, lasting three hours per day. During the first week, participants laugh "for no reason at all," dissolving the blocks to their inner spontaneity and joy. The second week is devoted to crying, and the third week to silent watching and meditation.
Uniquely simple and effective, these methods involve a minimum interaction among the participants, but the energy of the group helps each individual go more deeply into his or her own process. A facilitator, who has gone through the process and has been trained in conducting it, gives you instruction for the therapy.
“I have created a new meditation therapy. The first part will be laughter - for three hours, people simply laugh for no reason at all. Digging for three hours you will be surprised how many layers of dust have gathered upon your being. It will cut them like a sword, in one blow. For seven days continuously, three hours every day...you cannot conceive how much transformation can come to your being.
And then the second part is tears. The first part removes everything that hinders your laughter -- all the inhibitions of past humanity, all the repressions. It cuts them away; it brings a new space within you. But still you have to go a few steps more to reach the temple of your being, because you have suppressed so much sadness, so much despair, so much anxiety, so many tears -- they are all there, covering you and destroying your beauty, your grace, your joy.
So for seven days, you have to allow yourself to weep, cry for no reason at all - the tears are just ready to come. You have been preventing them. Just don't prevent.
No-Mind is one of the meditative processes that Osho created shortly before leaving his body.
The first hour is gibberish, where all the rubbish of the mind is thrown out in nonsense language, sounds and movements of the body.
The second hour is spent in silence, sitting with eyes closed and witnessing. | 2019-04-19T17:21:29 | http://www.tapoban.com/page/about/therapies |

Out of all of the pizza recipes so far I think this may be in the top two (2). These were incredible and would be so perfect for entertaining. Even the kiddos would be pleased with these cheesy, delicious bites. As you know I love perfectly portioned meals. Are they still considered portions if you eat 12 in on sitting? Questionable at best.
Make the dough ahead of time for a super fast appetizer.
I used one half of the recipe of Cheri's Favorite Pizza Dough. It turned out remarkably well.
Preheat oven to 400°. While the oven is heating shape your dough by rolling into a long snake about 2" in diameter. Then roll it about ¼" thin with a rolling pin. Leave edges bare, and spoon a thin layer of marinara over dough, then layer with cheese, pepperoni, and onion. Using your hands begin to roll dough into a coil. Cut coil into ¾" pieces using a pizza cutter. Place pizza rolls into olive oil greased baking dish. Place rolls so they are lightly touching. Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Serve with warmed marinara for dipping. Yum, yum, yum-yum. | 2019-04-22T01:02:16 | http://justeatfood.com/n-814-week-20-pepperoni-pizza-rolls.html |

Hello Fellow Xsyons or new survivors.
To the far north of Founders Island Is a small kingdom called Willow Peak Kingdom.
It is a kingdom of many tribes and farm steads, and a safe heaven for everyone in the north.
This will be a kingdom of many tribes/building sites similar to that of founders island "starting location". You can either join the village proper or strike out on your own in the area. All who joins in the kingdom will get a free 5 slot starting cart, water skins, some tools, and farming seeds.
Willow Peak Kingdom current and future plans.
Existing sites is a masonry located at the only sand source in the region and a safe heaven for gathering sand and other masonry goods and Bridges to get around and a gate house with safe zone.
Current plans is a Bear preserve going up to increase the safety up here.
Further advancement on the village proper of its craft shops and huge under ground storage facility for village and kingdom folks.
The new temple site for the Tree of Life which will be the tallest "dirt mound/Tree trunk" in the world that will have cantilevered branches extending out from it with various buildings on it.
Also may become the futures main city site.
Near future builds will be a fishery, inn, several guard outposts and barracks.
The kingdoms double wall/animal mote protection which will be a massive under taking.
And many many other sites going up by active members of their choosing.
Also am looking for rogue builders who wish to partake in the development of the kingdom that wishes to add a small building or farm where ever in the kingdom.
The role playing Goal for this site is to build a full sized kingdom that guards the north highway from the mist creatures and forms a trade route to this regions resources. As well as a fun new group build that promotes an actual sized villages and scattered home steads at a time like this for role play purposes.

Could one of these two danger men make all the difference in Saturday’s Nathaniel MG Cup final?
Cup finals are sometimes separated by a moment of pure magic but can one of these two danger men fire their respective side to Cup glory come Saturday’s Nathaniel MG Cup final?
With the nickname ‘The goalfather’ the Barry forward comes with a reputation, and his record doesn’t disappoint.
During a 7-2 thrashing over rivals Aberdare in 2015, Dixon became the first Barry player ever to score five goals in a Cup game in the club’s history, and he might have even added a sixth but was taken off by manager Gavin Chesterfield to a rousing applause.
He was the first player to score five since Eifion Williams did so for Barry way back in 1997. Unbelievably, Dixon repeated the feat just a month later during a 6-1 win over Denbigh Town in the JD Welsh Cup to once again delight the Barry faithful.
It’s clear he is a fans favourite among the Barry fans, and with the goals he scores it’s hard to see a reason why he wouldn’t be.
He’s tenacious, he’ll chase down any lost cause and is a threat to any side he comes up against, and The New Saints would’ve been warned by manager Craig Harrison of the striker’s attributes and what damage he can inflict on teams.
Recently, Dixon has shown tremendous character. In a game where Barry were for most part outplayed by their opponents, Penybont, Dixon had a great chance to win it at the death in a one-on-one with the Penybont goalkeeper but he fluffed his lines.
In the next game he could have easily let his head drop, but Dixon being Dixon scored a hat-trick at Monmouth to send Barry up to second, to leave them just six points off leaders Goytre with three games in hand.
He’s a talent there’s no doubt about that, and the whole of Barry will be hoping he continues where he left off. Another hat-trick against record breakers TNS, surely not?
Like James Dixon, Draper is a striker of high quality. He’s got a proven record, and since joining TNS in 2011 he has gone from strength to strength.
Since joining the Oswestry based club, he has gone onto score a sensational 82 goals in 142 games and has become an influential part of a brilliant team. In just his first season at TNS, he was named Player of the Season, and won the Welsh Premier League player of the month award in 2012.
There is no doubt of Draper’s aerial threat, or ability to score goals from nothing and he has proved wherever he has played he’s scored goals. He is a real poacher. Barry must make sure they keep a close-eye on the one time capped New Zealander.
Since 2011, when Draper joined, TNS have won trophy after trophy, and will be hoping he can fire them to another one come the final whistle in the Nathaniel MG Cup final on Saturday. | 2019-04-18T19:18:54 | https://clwbpeldroed.org/2017/01/21/one-two-danger-men-make-difference-saturdays-nathaniel-mg-cup-final/ |
Appendix 6: Misophonia Emotional Response Survey.
[a] Misophonia Treatment Institute, Livermore, CA, USA.
Misophonia is a condition in which a person has an acute emotional response of anger or disgust to a commonly occurring innocuous auditory or visual stimulus referred to as a trigger. This case details the effective treatment of misophonia in a young woman that included a counterconditioning treatment called the Neural Repatterning Technique (NRT), which combines a continuous positive stimulus and a reduced intensity, intermittent trigger. The treatment was delivered via the Misophonia Trigger Tamer smartphone app and all treatments were conducted independently by the patient. In this patient, the trigger elicited a physical reflex of contraction of the flexor digitorum profundus, which caused her to clench her fist. To enhance the effect of the NRT treatment, Progressive Muscle Relaxation was incorporated to increase her ability to deliberately relax the affected muscle during treatment. During NRT treatment sessions, the patient experienced a weak physical reflex to the reduced trigger stimulus but no emotional response. Her emotional response of misophonia was not treated, but when the physical reflex extinguished, the emotional response also extinguished. This case indicates that the misophonic response includes a Pavlovian-conditioned physical reflex. It is proposed that the trigger elicited the physical reflex and the physical reflex then elicited the conditioned emotional response that is characteristic of misophonia. Because of the conditioned reflex nature of misophonia, it is proposed that a more appropriate name for this disorder would be Conditioned Aversive Reflex Disorder.

Misophonia is a recently identified disorder in humans which is characterized by an extreme emotional response of anger or disgust to commonly occurring, innocuous auditory or visual stimuli (Edelstein, Brang, Rouw, & Ramachandran, 2013; Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2002, 2014; Schröder, Vulink, & Denys, 2013; Wu, Lewin, Murphy, & Storch, 2014). The condition was first identified in 1997 by audiologist Marsha Johnson, which she named Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome (4S; Bernstein, Angell, & Dehle, 2013). The name misophonia, which means “hatred of sound” was proposed by Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2002). The name misophonia refers to the emotions evoked by the trigger stimulus rather than a general hatred of sound.
Misophonia is a unique and discrete disorder that cannot be classified in the DSM-5 or IDC-10 (Schröder et al., 2013). With misophonia, specific auditory or visual stimuli trigger a response of irritation or disgust, which immediately escalates to anger (Schröder et al., 2013). Auditory triggers can be almost any repeating sound, but those commonly reported are eating sounds (e.g. lip smacking, chewing), nasal sounds (e.g. sniffing, breathing, snoring), and repetitive sounds (e.g. typing, pen clicking; Edelstein et al., 2013; Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014; Schröder et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014). Visual trigger stimuli of repetitive movements (e.g. hair twirling, leg shaking) and movements associated with auditory triggers (e.g. jaw movement) are also reported (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014; Wu et al., 2014).
Emotions commonly reported in response to trigger stimuli are anger and disgust (Edelstein et al., 2013; Johnson et al., 2013; Schröder et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014). Schröder et al. (2013) noted that anxiety was specifically not a response to trigger stimuli of the participants in their study, but participants reported actively avoiding exposure to trigger stimuli. Other researchers have reported anxiety as a common emotion of individuals with misophonia (Edelstein et al., 2013; Johnson et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014). Although this seems to be a discrepancy, the anxiety of misophonic individuals could have been associated with avoidance behaviors, and so referred to as avoidance by Schröder et al. (2013).
The physiologic response accompanying strong emotions was measured to validate self-reports of emotional responses to trigger stimuli (Edelstein et al., 2013). Skin conductance was shown to begin increasing 2 seconds after onset of trigger stimuli and continue increasing for the duration of a 15s trigger. Participants in this study also reported general physiologic responses associated with emotional arousal including pressure in chest, head, and whole body; clenched/tightened muscles; sweaty palms; difficulty breathing; and increased blood pressure and heart rate.
Although the prevalence of misophonia in the general population is unknown, it was estimated at 3.2% based on comorbidity with other auditory conditions (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014). Another study utilizing undergraduate psychology students reported 20% of participants had clinically significant misophonia (Wu et al., 2014). Misophonia can develop at any age, with a mean age of onset in childhood (Schröder et al., 2013). Once misophonia develops, it seemingly persists over the lifespan of the individual and often worsens with time (Schröder et al., 2013). The impact on the individual can vary from mild to debilitating and can cause severe problems in family, social, and professional life (Dozier, 2015b; Edelstein et al., 2013). Although misophonia is a chronic condition, it can vary due to other factors. Patients have reported that the severity of their misophonia is affected by their momentary feeling of well-being (Wu et al., 2014).
Research on the etiology and nature of misophonia is limited by the lack of an animal model (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014). Studies to date have focused on the stimulus-emotion relationship and physiological responses accompanying strong emotions (Edelstein et al., 2013; Schröder et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014). The etiology and nature of misophonia has been ascribed to physiological abnormalities in the brain (Møller, 2011), general hyper-reactivity similar to sensory processing disorder (Schröder et al., 2013), and classical conditioning (Dozier, 2015b; Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014; Schröder et al., 2013). Most discussions of misophonia refer to the condition as an emotional response to trigger stimuli, with accompanying fight-or-flight responses, including both physiological arousal and behavioral activation as shown in Figure 1 (Bernstein et al., 2013; Edelstein et al., 2013; Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2002, 2014; Schröder et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014).
Popular view of the misophonic response.
Dozier (2015a, 2015b) identified a discrete muscle reflex in response to trigger stimuli, which occurred independently of the emotional response when the trigger stimuli were sufficiently weak (see Figure 2). Dozier proposed that the emotional response may be elicited by the sensation from the physical reflex, because of the observed direct relationship between the decrease of the physical reflex in treatment and the decrease of the emotional response in real-life (see Figure 3).
Initial skeletal reflex response to a misophonic trigger stimulus. The trigger stimulus directly elicits a skeletal muscle contraction.
Misophonia emotional response is elicited by the physical reflex.
As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the trigger stimulus elicits a response. Such a stimulus-response pair is known as a reflex. A Pavlovian conditioned reflex is generally viewed as being learned through a temporal pairing of a neutral stimulus (NS), which becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS), and an unconditioned stimulus (US), such that the CS becomes associated with the US and elicits a response similar to the unconditioned response (UR) elicited by the US (Lattal, 2012). It has been demonstrated that the critical pairing for conditioning to occur is the NS/CS with the UR (Donahoe & Vegas, 2004), rather than that of the NS/CS and the US. When a stimulus occurs 0 to 2 seconds prior to a skeletal reflex response, Pavlovian conditioning can occur (Furedy & Riley, 1987, p. 7), and that stimulus can then elicit a conditioned response.
There have been no controlled studies on the treatment of misophonia, but there are several published case studies and summaries of patient outcomes. The most established method of treating misophonia is to add noise to the patient’s environment, which reduces the misophonic response to auditory triggers (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014; Johnson, 2014). This is generally accomplished with a behind-the-ear sound generator that resembles a small hearing aid. Additionally, this treatment has incorporated protocols to promote active extinction of the misophonic response (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014) or cognitive behavioral therapy to manage misophonia as a chronic condition (Johnson, 2014). Both methods have reported a high level of positive patient outcomes, but details on attrition, statistical significance, and effect size have not been reported.
A case study of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat misophonia in a young woman reported remediation of impaired social functioning at end of treatment and at 4-months posttreatment, although the woman still found the trigger stimuli unpleasant (Bernstein et al., 2013). Another CBT case study reported successful reduction in maladaptive behavior associated with trigger stimuli in two adolescents (McGuire, Wu, & Storch, 2015), but no follow-up data was provided. A third case study reported using a counterconditioning treatment called the Neural Repatterning Technique (NRT) in a middle-aged woman by individually counterconditioning three auditory triggers and a visual trigger (Dozier, 2015a). This treatment paired a continuous positive stimulus with an intermittent, reduced-intensity trigger stimulus which resulted in a progressive decline in the strength of her physical reflex to the trigger stimulus (see Figure 2). The patient reported a decline in her emotional responses to real-life trigger stimuli which accompanied the decline in her physical reflex during treatment (see Figure 3). The patient reported a large reduction in the severity of her misophonia at the end of treatment, and at 4- and 10-months posttreatment.
At the 2013 Misophonia Association Conference, a member of the patient panel reported virtually eliminating his misophonic emotional response by relaxing all of his muscles continually during a trigger situation (Martz, 2013). Discussion with the author revealed that this individual developed proficiency in progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) as a treatment for his general anxiety as a teenager, and for many years he relaxed his muscles immediately after triggers to suppress his emotional response.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is practiced by systematically tensing and relaxing 15 to 20 skeletal muscle groups (Borkovec & Sides, 1979). It has been demonstrated that individuals who practice PMR develop increased control of skeletal muscles, including a reduction in muscle tension during stressful events (Borkovec & Sides, 1979; Lehrer, Woolfolk, Rooney, McCann, & Carrington, 1983; O'Bannon, Richard, & Runcie, 1987). Daily PMR has been shown to be a benefit in treating anxiety disorders and improving well-being (Borkovec & Sides, 1979; Conrad & Roth, 2007; Dehghan-Nayeri & Adib-Hajbaghery, 2011; O'Bannon, Richard, & Runcie, 1987; Öst, 1987, 1988a).
Applied Relaxation is an enhancement to PMR that incorporates PMR as the initial relaxation training (Conrad & Roth, 2007; Öst, 1987, 1988b). The second phase of training includes relaxing each muscle group sequentially without first tensing it. The final phase develops the skill of relaxing all muscles simultaneously. Applied relaxation is the technique which was ascribed as an effective management technique for misophonia by one misophonic individual (Martz, 2013).
There is little absolute certainty about misophonia due to the sparse research on the condition, except the finding that typically innocuous auditory and visual stimuli evoke extreme, involuntary emotional responses in the misophonic individual (see Figure 1). Misophonia is a chronic condition that generally maintains or strengthens, so it is unlikely that the condition will abate without intervention. Of fundamental interest to this case is the view of misophonia as a conditioned reflex response and therefore subject to change through experience, as reported by two misophonia treatment providers (Dozier, 2015a; Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014). The physical reflex response of misophonia, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, identifies a characteristic that is germane to this case. The course of treatment was informed by the research on muscle relaxation which indicates that the daily practice of PMR provides broad wellness benefits in addition to developing improved muscle control.
Miley (pseudonym) was a 21-year-old, single Caucasian woman. She attended university during the school year, but had just moved home for the summer. Her mother was divorced and lived alone. Miley reported having a generally positive relationship with her mother, except for the issue of misophonic triggers by her mother, which made living together difficult. Miley was not taking psychotropic medications. She presented for treatment by VSee video-chat and was well-groomed, articulate, and outgoing, with an overall positive attitude toward life which was reflected in her bright smile and cheerful demeanor. (VSee is a medical-grade internet video chat service that meets the confidentiality requirements for treatment of patients).
Miley contacted the author by email seeking treatment for misophonia after she had self-diagnosed her condition based on internet research. She was far from the treatment facility, so assessment and treatment were provided by VSee. Although her misophonia caused extreme emotions and was a major problem for her at university, she requested help with the misophonic triggers from her mother, which specifically were sounds of chewing and scraping of utensils on dishes. She reported extreme emotions of anger and rage in response to being triggered by her mother, which prevented them from eating together.
Miley reported that her misophonia began at about age 6 or 7, but her first concrete instance of a severe response to a trigger was at age 9. Her first triggers were her mother’s yawning and gum chewing, and a classmate yawning. She reported that her childhood seemed fairly normal to her. She viewed herself as overweight at age 6 and tried to diet at age 8. Her parents divorced when she was 8, but she didn’t feel overly affected by this or other life events. She reported that she was a sensitive child, who responded to her mother’s emotions and that her mother was often stressed. Miley reported that she had never been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or other mental conditions, and that she did not have any such tendencies.
All assessment forms were downloaded from misophoniatreatment.com and submitted by email, including an informed consent. The questionnaires included the Misophonia Assessment Questionnaire (MAQ) and the Misophonia Coping Responses (MCR) surveys by audiologist Marsha Johnson, which she has used in her practice for over a decade. The MAQ contains 21 questions on time spent with various negative thoughts and feelings about misophonia. The rating scale is 0 to 3, with 3 being “almost all the time” and 0 being “none of the time” so the sum score can range from 0 to 63. Johnson (2014) used the sum MAQ score to rate patient misophonia severity as mild (1-21), moderate (22-42), or severe (43-63). Other questionnaires included the Misophonia Activation Scale (MAS-1) from misophonia-UK.org, Misophonia Physical Sensation scale (MPS) and Misophonia Trigger Severity scale (MTS) by audiologist Natan Bauman, and the Misophonia Emotional Response (MER) survey by the author. See Appendices 1-6 for the specific content of the assessments and patient responses. Presently there are no validated misophonia assessment instruments.
The written assessment was based solely on the self-report of the client. Her responses supported her self-diagnosis of misophonia. Miley’s responses on the MAQ showed that she had a high level of preoccupation with misophonia, answering 16 of the 21 questions with “a good deal” or “almost all of the time,” and the other 5 with “a little of the time.” Her sum score was 49 at intake, which rated her misophonia as “severe.” Miley’s initial rating for her emotional distress to triggers was 9 on the MAS-1, and her physical sensation was 7 on the MPS. Her rating was 8 on the MTS, which is a combination of emotional and physical response severity (see Table 1).
aValues are sum scores. bValues are maxima. cMultiple ratings indicate response variability. dMode = 1. eMode = 3. fMode = 0.
On the MCR survey Miley reported that she usually responded to triggers with mild responses that indicated she was annoyed or upset, or by turning away or covering her eyes, putting on headphones, moving away from the sound, and leaving the room either immediately or after attempting to tolerate the sound. She reported often engaging in more aggressive responses, in that she would sternly ask the triggering individual to stop making the sound, verbally snap at the person making the sound, or use physical violence on the person making the sound. Her individual responses are shown in Appendix 2.
Miley’s emotional responses to triggers were extreme. All of her responses on the MCR were “almost all the time” except for nonaggressive feelings such as wishing she were deaf, not wanting to offend, or feeling hopeless. She also rated herself low on feeling offended by the person making the sound and feeling disgust. Her individual responses are shown in Appendix 6.
Miley’s responses on the assessments indicated that she was suffering from misophonia. To confirm this diagnosis, the therapist tested for an immediate physical reflex response to a single instance of a trigger stimulus (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). The therapist asked Miley to close her eyes and relax while he used a spoon and a bowl to make a trigger sound. The therapist’s first trigger sounds were intentionally too soft and short to trigger the patient. The therapist then increased the volume and duration of the sound until Miley reported that she was triggered. She reported that she felt the response in her hands and forearms as if to make a fist, which indicated that the muscle that contracted was probably the flexor digitorum profundus in her forearms.
Misophonia is characterized as an involuntary response to a trigger stimulus. A counterconditioning treatment (i.e., NRT treatment) was reported as being effective in the treatment of specific trigger stimuli for a middle-aged woman (Dozier, 2015a) whose misophonic responses consisted of a physical reflex response to the trigger stimuli and an emotional response. It was posited that the physical reflex response mediated the emotional response, as shown in Figure 3 (Dozier, 2015b). The NRT treatment described by Dozier (2015a) focused on eliminating the physical reflex response without addressing the emotional response. In that case, reducing or eliminating the physical response reduced or eliminated the emotional response in real-life settings. The counterconditioning treatment was delivered in a weekly session with the therapist and with custom audio recordings for daily, independent sessions by the patient. A treatment app (Misophonia Trigger Tamer) was developed by the author for smartphones to automate the delivery of the NRT treatment. The app delivered a continuous positive auditory stimulus (music) and intermittently delivered the trigger stimulus. The app provided control for volume, duration, and rate of the trigger stimulus, which allowed the patient real-time control of the treatment. The app also had the capability for the patient to record and edit custom trigger stimuli, and use their choice of music for the positive stimulus. Delivery of the positive stimulus with the app is optional. The positive stimulus could also be provided by another activity such as a taking a walk or viewing photographs.
Misophonia is reported to persist and often worsen with time (Schröder et al., 2013). Therefore, if misophonia includes a conditioned physical reflex response to the trigger, there must be a mechanism that allows Pavlovian conditioning to occur, such that the trigger-response reflex is maintained or strengthened. Dozier (2015b) posited that the pairing of the trigger stimulus and an increased intensity response can occur when the individual receives repeated triggers. Firstly, muscle tension may increase if the muscle affected by the trigger is not relaxed before the subsequent trigger stimulus, especially when the trigger stimuli occur at high rate. Secondly, a heightened state of anger and distress is experienced with misophonic triggers, and this generally increases muscle tension, which could also contribute to the maintenance of the conditioned reflex. To achieve the opposite effect, an individual would need to relax the affected muscle and remain calm while experiencing repeated trigger stimuli.
As previously discussed, Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) has been demonstrated to increase deliberate control of relaxing a specific muscle; therefore, engaging in PMR for sufficient time to develop muscle control prior to the counterconditioning treatment may enhance the treatment effect. Relaxing muscles in response to triggers, as is taught in Applied Relaxation, might also reduce the emotional upheaval of a trigger situation, as previously discussed (Martz, 2013). Because of the broad benefits of daily deep relaxation, including reduction in anxiety, the author viewed PMR as a practice with the potential to enhance the therapeutic effect of treatment either directly or indirectly.
The treatment design for this case was essentially an automated version of the NRT treatment presented in Dozier (2015a) with the addition of Progressive Muscle Relaxation to develop muscle control and Applied Relaxation during treatment and when exposed to real-life trigger stimuli.
The initial session included the assessment and a discussion on misophonia including ways to manage the condition. The topics covered were 1) the reflexive nature of misophonia; 2) how to reduce triggers by adding noise to the environment; 3) the importance of not enduring triggers; 4) an explanation of the NRT treatment; 5) selecting a the first trigger to address in treatment; 6) selecting the positive stimulus for treatment; 7) verification that Miley had the capability to set up her smartphone for treatment; and 8) a discussion of Progressive Muscle Relaxation. Miley was instructed to download the Misophonia Trigger Tamer app from iTunes or Google Play, learn to use it with the tutorial videos, set up the playlist and trigger in the app, and practice PMR twice a day.
Miley committed to performing the PMR exercise twice a day for the next week using online training video and guided audio downloads. She also committed to conducting four to six NRT 30-minute treatment sessions per week. All NRT treatments were to be carried out independently using the Misophonia Trigger Tamer app. All sessions with the therapist were to be conducted by VSee, which is a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant video-chat service.
Miley performed PMR twice each day for the 7 days before the second therapist session. At this session, she reported that relaxing her hands had reduced her emotional response when she was triggered in public, but that adding noise to her environment had not been effective in reducing her misophonic physical and emotional responses at home. During the previous week she recorded a spoon-on-bowl trigger and edited it, so that the trigger sound began immediately at the start of the file. She also set up a playlist in the Misophonia Trigger Tamer with a mixture of calming and happy songs to use as the positive counterconditioning stimulus. The session with the therapist included discussion about how to set the app parameters for the NRT treatment and a 5-minute sample NRT treatment to insure Miley knew how to conduct the treatment and that the parameters were properly set. She was instructed to increase the volume and duration of the trigger to maintain a low physical response of approximately 1 on a 0 to 5 scale, where 0 was no reflex response and 5 was a real-world trigger response. Miley was instructed to complete the 30-minute NRT treatment session she started with the therapist, and to perform a 30-minute treatment each day. The therapist recommended that she keep her hands relaxed during treatment sessions and wiggle her fingers when triggered in real life.
At the third session with the therapist, Miley reported that she had performed PMR every day and the NRT treatment on 3 days. She stopped after the third treatment because she no longer triggered to the recorded stimulus. She was instructed to use 2 other trigger recordings of the spoon-on-bowl sound and start a variety of chewing-sound triggers once she did not respond to the spoon-on-bowl triggers. She was instructed to continue daily PMR, relax her hands when triggered in real life, and continue with daily NRT treatments.
At the fourth therapist session, which was 2 weeks later, Miley reported that she had performed PMR most days. She happily announced that her responses to the spoon-on-bowl and chewing triggers were gone for her recorded sounds, but still small in real life. At this point, Miley chose to terminate treatment. She had conducted the 5, 30-minute NRT treatment sessions and 4 shorter sessions. The total time was equivalent to 7 half-hour NRT sessions. The Misophonia Trigger Tamer app history log is shown in Table 2. There are 9 entries, indicating that Miley heard a total of 368 spoon-on-bowl triggers and 178 chewing triggers. The duration of the triggers was 0.9s for the spoon-on-bowl triggers and 1.3s for chewing triggers. The inter-stimulus interval was 21 seconds.
The therapist followed up with Miley by email a month after she returned to university. She reported that her misophonia was still a significant problem, especially for yawning, which was both a visual and auditory trigger. She wrote that her response to yawning the previous semester was a 9 or 10, but this semester the worst she had experienced was a 5 and it was usually about a 3. (This verbal report did not reference any specific misophonia assessment scale).
Miley completed the assessment forms and returned them by email for a 6-month posttreatment assessment (see Table 1). Her MAQ sum score had declined to 7, and three of those points were her response to the item, “My sound issues do not seem to have a known cause.” (See Appendix 1 for specific responses). The large reduction in her MAQ sum score is illustrated in Figure 4. Her responses on the MCR survey indicated that she had a greatly reduced overt behavioral response to triggers. Her predominant responses to triggers were to “hear a known trigger sound . . . and feel no physical sensation” and “calmly move away from the sound.” (See Appendix 2). She also reported greatly reduced emotional responses to triggers. On the intake MER survey, 20 of the 26 responses were “almost all the time.” At 6-month follow-up, her highest response was “a good deal of the time” for feeling that she must see the person making the sound. Fourteen responses were “not at all” and 11 responses were “a little of the time.” (See Appendix 6). This large decline in the emotional distress to triggers was consistent with the decline in her MAQ sum score. Her MAS-1 score was 4, with a note that 1 was the typical response. Her MPS score was 2, with 0 being a typical response. The MTS score for spoon-on-bowl triggers was 0, and the response for chewing triggers was 0-2. The MTS scores for non-treated triggers was 0 to 3 and 11.
A second follow-up was conducted by email at 12 months posttreatment (see Table 1, Figure 4, and Appendix 1). Miley’s misophonia severity had increased as evidenced by the increase in the MAQ sum score to 12 and MAS-1 typical response rating to 3. She also indicated an increase the severity of her response to triggers that had not been addressed in treatment (MTS scores of 0, 1, 8, 11, and 12, indicating that she occasionally experienced rage in response to triggers). However, the triggers specifically addressed in treatment had completely extinguished (MTS score of 0). She also reported that she had been recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.
Measure of misophonia severity (Misophonia Assessment Questionnaire sum score) over the course of treatment and follow-up.
There were no complicating factors such as difficulty creating appropriate materials for homework sessions as previously reported by Dozier (2015a). The Misophonia Trigger Tamer app allowed Miley to personally adjust the treatment parameters in response to changes in her physical response to the recorded trigger stimulus, so treatment was maintained at the prescribed level. The app also allowed Miley to record real instances of her triggers, edit them, and use them for treatment. The treatment did place a sizeable time demand on Miley. She was very diligent in performing the PMR exercises during the first week, but was sporadic with the NRT treatments, conducting these treatments on only 8 of the 21 days from start to end of treatment. The lack of compliance to the number of NRT treatment session was irrelevant due to her high rate of progress with the treatment. There were few, if any, issues with access or barriers to care in this case. The automation with Misophonia Trigger Tamer app reduced the therapist time to less than half of that required to provide the treatment manually, thereby greatly reducing the cost of treatment. VSee video-chat allowed the treatment to be provided over a long distance, and there were no interruptions to service.
This case includes a replication plus an extension of the treatment of misophonia reported in Dozier (2015a). The replicated issues of treating misophonia include the following: 1) the NRT treatment effectively ameliorated the misophonia in the patient; 2) there was a physical reflex response to the trigger stimulus as shown in Figure 2; 3) the physical reflex occurred independently of the emotional response during treatment; 4) the physical reflex acted like a Pavlovian conditioned reflex in the gradual decline to exposure; and 5) there was a direct relationship between the reduction of the physical reflex and the reduction of the emotional response in real-world experience after treatment, supporting the relationship between the physical reflex and the emotional response shown in Figure 3. This case extended the treatment of Dozier (2015a) by incorporating the Misophonia Trigger Tamer app as an automated delivery mechanism for the NRT treatment, PMR, and Applied Relaxation in the NRT sessions.
Further support that misophonia is a conditioned response comes from the observation of spontaneous recovery by the patient. Spontaneous recovery of conditioned reflexes is a well-documented phenomenon, wherein the reflex decays during an active extinction process and then recovers with time (Lattal, 2012). The Misophonia Trigger Tamer app has precise settings for the volume and duration of the trigger stimulus in treatment. When the parameter values at the end of a treatment were used at the beginning of the next treatment, the response to the trigger was initially stronger than at the end of the previous treatment. This is consistent with spontaneous recovery of a conditioned reflex. Identifying misophonia as a conditioned reflex phenomenon has important implications for management, treatment, and research.
Firstly, with Pavlovian conditioning, a neutral stimulus that occurs temporally with a conditioned stimulus can become a conditioned stimulus. For misophonia, this means that a nontrigger stimulus (e.g., jaw movement) occurring with a trigger stimulus (e.g., chewing sound) can become a new trigger. As noted in Dozier (2015a), a visual trigger will continue to be a trigger, even after the response to the associated auditory stimulus has been extinguished. The implication here is that individuals should be cautious about repeated exposure to trigger stimuli because of the possibility of acquiring new triggers. This is an issue for managing misophonia as a chronic condition and exposure to triggers during treatment. Any treatment that includes exposure to triggers should include techniques that effectively reduce the misophonic response or are devoid of consistent pairing of nontrigger stimuli with trigger stimuli.
Secondly, viewing misophonia as a conditioned reflex rather than the result of a neurological defect has broad treatment implications. There is a large body of research on Pavlovian conditioning that may be applicable to the development and enhancement of treatment procedures (Donahoe & Vegas, 2004; Furedy & Riley, 1987; Lattal, 2012; Mowrer & Klein, 2000; Pavlov, 2003/1927). One simple application is that treatment should include techniques that will reduce a fundamental misophonic reflex rather than solely attempting to reduce the overt coping response of the individual. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014) reported achieving meaningful reduction of misophonia severity in patients with a treatment protocol that included in vivo counterconditioning experiences, along with other management techniques.
Thirdly, there is an implication for research to understand misophonia. It has been proposed that misophonia is the result of a defective or malfunctioning structure in the upper brain (Møller, 2011), which is diametrically opposed to the view that misophonia is a Pavlovian conditioning phenomenon. Viewing misophonia as anomalous brain activity will bias the researchers toward looking for the cause of misophonia within the brain, compared to viewing misophonia as an aversive conditioned reflex which is a result of typical brain functioning and environmental experience.
A case study has inherent limitations of generalizability and demonstration of causal factors. A controlled study is needed to demonstrate a causal relationship between the intervention and the reduction of misophonic symptoms. The patient’s initial physical misophonic reflex was a hand grasp, which seems easier to willfully control, and so may have facilitated response to treatment. Many individuals have a physical reflex that is more difficult to relax than a hand grasp. Additionally, the dependent measures were self-reports of the patient which is a limitation to the reliability of the data. The subject in this case demonstrated a high level of self-efficacy and motivation by seeking treatment, which could have been a factor for her rapid response to treatment. Furthermore, there was no formal assessment of comorbid conditions which could have an effect on the case.
The forearm muscle contraction Miley experienced in response to triggers appeared to be an important factor in the manifestation of her misophonia. Identifying the specific physical reflex response in the assessment allowed her to increase the focus on that specific muscle in her PMR exercises. Relaxing a hand grasp is a common behavior, so it is likely that Miley’s ability to relax this muscle during treatment was not based solely on one week of PMR exercises. Control of the affected muscle seems to have contributed to an enhanced effect of the NRT treatment because she could willfully relax those muscles during treatment and when triggered in real life. Individuals with other muscle reflexes may require much more practice to gain control of the muscle affected by a misophonia trigger and hence receive the benefit of relaxing during NRT treatments.
In both this case and that which was discussed in Dozier (2015a), the NRT treatment was effective in reducing specific triggers, but the reduction of treated triggers did not reduce non-treated triggers. By relaxing her hands in treatment, Miley developed a method of responding to real-life trigger situations that reduced her future misophonic response. This is supported by the decline in her response to triggers from her posttreatment assessment to the start of semester email report, and then the 6-month follow-up assessment at the end of the semester. In this case, Miley developed the ability to relax the affected muscles, and relaxing those muscles in trigger situations was a likely cause for the gradual reduction of her misophonic response for non-treated triggers. However at the 12-month follow-up assessment, she reported an increase in her emotional response to triggers, but she reported that her physical reflex response had remained low. Her increased emotional response to triggers may have been related to her recent diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder.
This case demonstrated the successful use of the Misophonia Trigger Tamer app to deliver the NRT treatment. All NRT treatment sessions were conducted independently by the patient. Because the app gave the patient full control of the treatment parameters, proper training to use the app was essential. In this case, the patient was an intelligent, technically savvy university student. The training included tutorial videos, help from the therapist in setting the initial parameters for treatment, the guidance of an initial 5 minute NRT treatment, and learning how to adjust the trigger during treatment. The app allowed Miley to vary the intensity of the trigger stimulus within each treatment session to maintain the desired reflex response. Based on the success of the treatment, she did this well, but many patients will likely need more support and guidance.
In this case, the NRT treatment did not eliminate the misophonic response to the trigger. At the end of treatment, Miley had no response to the recorded triggers, but she still had a weak response to the trigger in real life. This is understandable because the treatment setting was a different context than real-life, and conditioned reflexes are context sensitive (Lattal, 2012). It has been demonstrated with animal research that a conditioned reflex which is extinguished in one setting, can still occur in a different setting. The use of recorded vs. live trigger stimuli is a limitation of the NRT treatment. After the NRT treatment, sometimes a misophonic reflex will decline and extinguish in the real-life setting, and sometimes it will maintain at a substantially reduced level (Dozier, 2015a). It is also possible for the misophonic response to strengthen after treatment. If the response in real-life settings is unacceptably strong, then further counterconditioning treatments could be incorporated with a context that is closer to real life, including use of real-life trigger stimuli. In this case, at the 6-month follow-up, Miley reported that she had no trigger response to the spoon-on-bowl sounds, and a weaker trigger response to chewing sounds. It is plausible that she relaxed her hands in trigger situations, and this aided in the continued decline in her misophonic response to the treated triggers. This issue seems important when setting expectations with the patient on the goals of treatment.
This case provides support for the use of the NRT treatment for specific misophonia trigger stimuli. This treatment may be used to reduce triggers from a single source (e.g., one person) or that occur in a single context (e.g., typing at work). Triggers should be treated sequentially, using at least three different recordings of each trigger. The patient responded extraordinarily well in this case. The treatment reported in Dozier (2015a) took over 5 months, and the patient in this study also responded well. An individual who responds more slowly may require a significantly longer treatment. The NRT treatment should enhance other treatments, such as an audiologist-provided behind-the-ear sound generator or CBT therapy, because it reduces the initial physical reflex of misophonia.
This case demonstrated the importance of identifying the initial physical misophonic reflex (see Figure 3) and addressing the reflex in treatment. The therapist should help the patient identify the physical misophonic reflex as part of the assessment, which can often be accomplished by having the patient relax while hearing a single, short, quiet trigger. In this setting, the patient can often identify a specific physical response. Rarely can a misophonic patient accurately identify their initial physical reflex prior to assessment. Typically patients have reported some of the physiological responses that accompany the extreme emotional responses of misophonia as their initial physical reflex. The author has witnessed initial physical reflexes that include virtually every skeletal muscle and many internal responses (e.g., esophagus constriction, stomach constriction, intestine constriction, sexual sensation, nausea, and the urge to urinate). Many individuals have a reflex that affects several muscles (e.g., calves and toes, shoulder and neck, or several muscles in arm).
Incorporating Applied Relaxation into the treatment protocol is highly recommended, with a focus on gaining control of the affected muscle. Prolonged use of Applied Relaxation may be critical to cases in which the treatment effect is slower.
The NRT treatment addresses the physical reflex response of misophonia. The treatment parameters need to be set so that the patient perceives the physical response to the trigger. Some patients have reported a combined emotional and physical response using the Misophonia Trigger Tamer and have responded to treatment. Cases wherein the individual reported only an emotional response to the trigger during treatment have not shown progress.
Some patients reported a pain or sensation in the ear. This can be caused by tensor tympani syndrome which accompanies severe misophonia (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014). This should be considered an accompanying symptom of misophonia and not the initial physical reflex. The settings for the trigger stimulus in NRT treatment need to be high enough to activate the initial physical reflex. Tensor tympani syndrome will likely be eliminated by successfully treating misophonia (Jastreboff & Jastreboff, 2014).
The Misophonia Trigger Tamer app is a means of delivering the NRT treatment for auditory triggers. Visual triggers are common in misophonia and often develop to visual stimuli paired with an auditory trigger. The Visual Trigger Tamer app can be used to provide the NRT treatment for visual triggers. The app uses a video clip for the trigger and allows video, audio, and pictures to be included in the playlist.
The MAQ sum score provides a measure of the distress of an individual due to misophonia. This measure seems to be sensitive to the pervasiveness of trigger stimuli for the individual, as well as the severity of the response to individual triggers. For example, one patient used white noise and open ear headphones as the sole treatment. Her MAQ sum score dropped from 47 to 17 after one assessment and management session because the noise reduced the severity of the misophonic response so she felt no anger. Treatment should include some methods of escape and avoidance of trigger stimuli to have an immediate, meaningful improvement in the distress caused by misophonia. This is likely to aid in the effectiveness of the NRT treatment because the reflex is not continually strengthened through exposure to the trigger and the patient will have an overall improvement in well-being, enabling a positive emotional state for the NRT treatment.
Individuals often seek the help of a psychological therapist for misophonia. In such cases, the therapist should consider all component parts of the misophonic experience. As shown in Figure 5, these parts are the trigger, the physical reflex response, the emotional response including physiological arousal, and overt behavior. The causal interactions shown with horizontal lines are those observed in this case, but it is likely that, in many cases, there are more complex interactions, as shown by the dotted lines. Parents generally seek help because of problems with overt child behavior. CBT or other talk therapy is often requested. Two case studies using CBT for misophonia reported positive outcomes (Bernstein et al., 2013; McGuire et al., 2015). It is recommended that a treatment plan address all component parts. Addressing only the overt behavior with enticing rewards seems contraindicated.
Five distinct components of the misophonic response.
Sensory processing disorder (SPD) or sensory over-responsivity shares similarities of symptomology with misophonia, and it has been suggested that SPD and misophonia are manifestations of a single disorder (Taylor et al., 2014). SPD manifests as over or under-responsiveness to stimulation from touch, taste, smell, vision, hearing, and movement, with tactile and auditory sensitivity being the most common (Reynolds & Lane, 2008; Taylor et al., 2014); and SPD auditory sensitivity is primarily to unexpected and loud noises (Schröder et al., 2013). Misophonia is generally limited to low volume auditory stimuli and visual stimuli associated with the auditory stimuli or repetitive movements. Therefore, SPD and misophonia can be viewed as different, unassociated conditions which may both result in an anger or fight-flight response (Schröder et al., 2013). Furthermore, we view the physical misophonia muscle reflex to trigger stimuli as additional support that SPD and misophonia area distinctively unique and different disorders.
Misophonia is a relatively unknown condition that is a detriment or impediment to the lives of many individuals. Although many think of misophonia as a rare disorder it may afflict hundreds of millions individuals worldwide. There is a great need for fundamental research on misophonia as well as research to validate assessment instruments and establish empirically-validated treatments (Webber & Storch, 2015). Misophonia research seems to be limited by a lack of interested professors and by institutes who have committed research tracks for various neurological and psychological conditions.
In this case, the debilitating effects of misophonia were ameliorated by treating a conditioned muscle reflex response to specific misophonic trigger stimuli and by the patient developing a generalized response of relaxing muscles when triggered. Although the patient experienced misophonia as an extreme emotional responses to specific environmental stimuli, it appears that her condition would be more accurately described as a conditioned skeletal muscle reflex response to specific environmental stimuli which in turn elicited extreme emotional responses. Likewise with the naming of this condition, misophonia focuses on the emotions of this disorder and diverts attention form a core component of the disorder, which is a conditioned aversive reflex. Further research on the components of misophonia is warranted. Aversive stimuli have been shown to evoke fight-or-flight responses in humans (Berkowitz, 1983; Berkowitz, Cochran, & Embree, 1981). These studies found that the aversive stimuli evoked a range of emotions that may not be reflected in overt behavior. Other research identified activation of the limbic system of humans in response to aversive odorants (Zald & Pardo, 1997) and to aversive gustatory stimuli (Zald, Lee, Fluegel, & Pardo, 1998). Such responses seem consistent with those of individuals with misophonia.
Some individuals with misophonia have a weak physical reflex. In these cases, the physical stimulus is too mild to be comparable to aversive stimuli used in research studies; however, the stimulation of the physical reflex may elicit a conditioned emotional reflex. The physical reflex is intrusive, and difficult to not perceive. A person may apply distraction techniques to divert their focus from the trigger stimuli, but the physical stimulation is still perceived and could therefore elicit the conditioned emotional response. For these reasons, a more appropriate name for Misophonia would be Conditioned Aversive Reflex Disorder.
Misophonia is generally viewed as a life-long, debilitating condition, which is disruptive to social and professional life, and becomes progressively worse with time. This case study treatment provides some encouraging results where the typical course of this condition was potentially reversed and apparently abated. It is hoped that the information presented here can supplement other work in developing treatment for misophonia to provide meaningful relief to those suffering from this disorder.

• Few local businesses in the result.
• Few sales pages etc.
The Google algorithm keeps on improving on daily basis and every change is focused on just two words – “User Satisfaction”.
So, when it is all about “User Satisfaction” then obviously it’s all about content of website, because ultimately it is only content which is delivered to the users. There is no connection between backlinks of webpage which is delivered to the users by Google search. Users have nothing to do with the quality of backlinks, quantity of backlinks of the webpage which is delivered to him by Google search result. So, question arises… Do backlinks have any importance? If yes, then in what way & how much?
In order to answer these questions, we need to understand one thing… Google’s objective is “User Satisfaction” in real terms, in practical world and not just with the content of a web page. What if someone has made super good content for his webpage but in real world he is a scammer? Google has to check such smart scammers. So, what options are available in front of Google? Google has to seek the reviews, references, popularity of webpages before they can be placed on top ranks. Exactly here comes the role of backlinks and social media popularity. The more people refer webpage, better it is. Backlinks are one of the prime methods to check acceptability of webpages. Hence, backlinks are super important of Google Ranking. Google is doing every possible thing in order to deliver exactly those pages to searchers which they are looking for. So, we need to consider every aspect of website in order to get top Google ranking.
There are several articles and posts around Google ranking methods and techniques, but this page here How to improve google ranking not only describes the methods to improve google rankings but also recommends appropriate tools and gives amazing resources as well.
After understanding the importance of backlinks in getting Google ranks, next question arise in mind is… what approach should be obtain to get backlinks that counts towards Google ranks? In order to understand this, we need to look at those ultra important 2 words… “User Satisfaction” once again. Google seek for genuine signals of popularity and references. Now assume that you have got real super quality content on your webpage, then how people will react towards it?
Take example of say… some critically important tips for students to clear some particular examination. How students will react? They will share those tips with their friends via verbal communication, via phone, via email, even via writing on their blogs. Similarly, when people come across some really good information, they tend to share it with their friends, their customers & vendors (if information is applicable). They write on forums, blogs, magazine, shared files, comments, videos they make, and what not. And they do link that valuable informative webpage with anchor of their choice. Hence, backlinks should be from wide variety of websites with wide range of similar anchors. I hope this article help you in some way. | 2019-04-23T18:10:39 | https://menaentrepreneur.org/2015/06/how-important-backlinks-are-for-google-ranking/ |

Anticap.co.uk is a new website that is setting out to campaign for Unlimited Broadband Services. The initial focus will of course be NTL's Broadband services which all have a download cap of 1GB on 3 individual days in every fourteen day period. The 60 day period that NTL originally stated as being a monitoring period is ending, and there is the risk that the first transgressors will be getting their warnings.
The remit behind this new website is interesting, by pushing unlimited access it may actually force providers to spend more on infrastructure costs, thus forcing the cost to the majority up. Most Internet access services rely on the fact that not everyone will be downloading all the time, a small percentage of users downloading close to the technical limit a day will normally be tolerated though. For a service to be truly unlimited it would require 1:1 contention to be built into the service, which would drastically increase the costs of backhaul service, e.g. if an ADSL ISP was to run its BT Central link with no contention the costs would increase by around £10-20 per user on average just on a 512kbps service. Of course the provider would also need to increase its peering bandwidth which will also cost more money, and higher capacity switching/routing hardware.
Perhaps a better campaign would be to ensure that service providers allow fair use of their systems, e.g. only apply limits during the peak hours, averaging download limits over a month, i.e. allowing for people who use the connection heavily for 5 days, then do not use it beyond the average 100MB/day. Another important factor will be what happens when people exceed the limits if any exist. Are excessive users speed capped lower for a short period, or do they end up paying business sized connection prices which may be double their normal monthly fee.
One thing that NTL has woefully ignored is a tiered system, e.g. 0.8GB/day limit for 128kbps service, 3GB/day for 600kbps service and a 5GB/day limit for the 1Mbps service. Limits like this would encourage heavier users to still subscribe to the faster service, rather than downgrade to a cheaper service and simpler use their full quota every day.
Bandwidth controls are not always an evil device, they can preserve the quality of service for the majority at times. The important thing is that providers need to ensure that they do not alienate the heavy users, who often are the most vocal at both praising and putting down a service.
At the end of the day, the topic of capping/throttling can be debated till people are blue in the face, usually what it boils down to is Service Providers trying to supply the highest possible speed service to people for the lowest possible cost. Something must give eventually, and in many cases around the world it is the ability to treat contended services as personal leased lines. Watching the price of say cable modem services in North America, the trend is for slow price rises, often triggered by smaller providers folding and the new company introducing new pricing structures. | 2019-04-20T14:35:50 | https://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/1067-ntl-broadband-bandwidth-limits-protests-carry-on |
In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomach ache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of beasts. | 2019-04-22T09:36:32 | https://www.kobo.com/au/en/ebook/three-dark-crowns-book-1 |
