Cloth Diapering

 Just a small boast:  At 11 weeks, we are nearly 100% cloth diaper/baby wipes.  We didn’t start full on till last week as we have Econobum, Bum Genius (4 of them) and Tots Bots (size 0, 3 of them), and our little one is finally big enough for them to fit!  Econobum is…economical, BG is great, and TB is fabu, my fave so far.  I just feel…*good* doing this.  The house doesn’t smell of stinky diapes in the trash, we’re not hemmoraging cash on disposables, and my eco-yumminess is through the roof!  Yay for cloth diapering!

For those who may wonder if this is for them, some tips from us:

Do NOT freak out if you didn’t start from the time they were born. Any time to cloth diaper is a good time!  I know if we would have started earlier I would have given up by now (our LO had medical issues from birth, this would have been too much stress).  Start when you feel ready.  If that isn’t now, wait a month or so, then give it another try.

Do NOT beat yourself up if you don’t cloth diaper 100%.  For whatever reason  (initial cost of setup, daycare issues, etc) you may only cloth diaper 50% or 20% of the time.  No biggie.  The point is, you are doing something wonderful for the planet and your kid.  Be proud of what you can do, not angry about what you can’t.

Do NOT worry about what anyone else thinks on either side!  If someone wants to think your a hippie dippie throwback for diapering, let them.  If someone wants to think you are an Earth killer for not CDing 100%, let them.  You do what is right for you.

And finally, DO congratulate yourself for doing a difficult thing, during a difficult time.  Raising a kid is near impossible, and it would be easy to go for the quick fix of a disposable, but your going the extra mile.  Even CD’ing once a day is a *wonderful* thing.

And finally, a cool recipe I found for baby wipes solution – great for reusable baby wipes (we use squares of cut up flannel), or with paper towels for on-the-go cleanings without all the icky chemicals in modern wipes.

2 cups water

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 little squirts baby wash

optional 3 droplets of essential oil (lavender is nice, I am currently using tea tree oil)

Mix in a spray/squirt bottle, use whenever and wherever!

Small independent children’s publisher wins Nielsen Publisher of the Year at the 2017 Book Industry Awards

Energy, innovation and niche

Gecko Press, an independent and international publisher of children’s books based in Wellington, has won New Zealand Publisher of the Year this week, for “energy and innovation” and for “proving and consolidating a niche”.

Thirteen years ago, when I first started Gecko Press to translate the best children’s books in the world into English, the Swedish publisher of Margaret Mahy told me, ‘either you’re an idiot or it’s a niche. Let’s hope it’s a niche,’” says Gecko Press publisher Julia Marshall.

It has proven a satisfying and strong niche, to bring the best children’s writers in the world to English-speaking readers worldwide,” she says.

We are now in the business of collaboration, to make sure reading remains a top activity for children in an age of digital distraction.”

The Curiously Good Book Club

The judges also mentioned the new Curiously Good BookClub, launched by Gecko Press to increase conversation about the importance of reading, to help people choose books for children and to bring books to where children are.

Earlier this year Gecko Press kickstarted the Curiously Good Book Club with a Crowdfunding campaign that raised over $38,000. The initiative embraces and encourages collaboration across booksellers, publishers and readers.

The aim of the Curiously Good Book Club is that every child discovers the love of reading. It is a place where people can share knowledge about great books (not just Gecko Press books) and find creative ways to encourage reading.

2017: a wealth of awards for Gecko Press!

Gecko Press prides itself on publishing a small number of carefully-selected children’s books, on good production—design, paper, bindings, covers—and on trying to make each book the best it can be. This quality and diversity has been awarded many times this year:

– Wolf Erlbruch – “a careful and caring visionary” – is the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award laureate for 2017

– Juliette MacIver and Sarah Davis won the NZ Picture Book Award 2017 with That’s Not A Hippopotamus!

– Gecko Press awarded Nielsen  Publisher of the Year at the 2017 Book Industry Awards, for “continuing innovation and a fantastic year of creating readers”

– Spencer Levine with Annual, won the Scholastic New Zealand Award for Best Children’s Book, the Mary Egan Publishing Award for Best Typography and the Hachette New Zealand People’s Choice Award at the PANZ Book Design Awards

Bathtime for little Rabbit shortlisted for the Sainbury’s Children’s Book Awards.

The Importance on Goals

I never knew the importance of goals, until about a couple of weeks ago.

You see that lady up there? That's my grandma :) She is my inspiration today for being a cook. You see that stove? That's where i stood 19 years ago... melting yogurt in a pot to make a sauce... lol.. trying to be like my grandma.

I would be there every weekend, she would cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for me. I would walk across the street to the local grocery store and buy the $1.25 chicken from the butcher...

I would wake up 6 o'clock in the morning on Saturdays to go to the outside flee market in Miami to buy vegetables and fish and to drink fresh coconut juice.

When i was about three years old, i remember watching ppl come in and out of my grandma's dinning room... until a couple of years later i realized she used to cook up big meals to serve her neighbors and that's how she made her income.

I always wonder why she worked from home, i never saw my grandma with a job, then my mom told me she had to stop...workin' in the kitchen was being terrible for her knees... basically her health.

My family was not the greatest in getting along, but We where always there to share a plate.

And i can see why it was important for me to do something my family was so good at. I watched my mom raise us up single just like my grandma... but never getting the chance...not once! to live her dream... why? she had to take care of us (me and my lil bro).

That's why goals... something i've been givin' as a gift because of the females in my family... are so valuable... i get to set them! I get to actual achieve them! Wow!

I almost threw this out the window, until a couple days see I had trouble figurin' out what i'm suppose to do right now... ok, i'm at a 5 star hotel... i thought i had it made...and all i have to do is stay there, and work my way up to be a chef!

Reading Daniel Boulud's Book... Letters to a Young Chef... changed my life. It basically talked about his journey and what a cook should do before settling down to be a chef...

He made me realize... this is a craft... like a baby... you have to nurture it, feed it, give it what it needs to grow strong, mature and healthy...

And to make the point even clearer... as if God was nudgin' at me to get the point.. i read this...

(from Becoming a Chef):
"Alfred Portale stresses how important it is to choose first jobs carefully: "You really need to make the right choices in terms of your career. Once you start, it's critical that you get the right experience. Don't get off track and start working at some kind of crappy restaurant. Set your sights on the best, and try to get yourself the best experiences. I'm a product of all my different experiences. I see so many people who needed the money or went for the title or for various other bad reasons got into a series of kind of 'mid-restaurants' and now they're trapped. They can't come out. When you're starting out early, it's good to get a lot of varied experience. But as you mature, and you grow as a cook, you should commit to a place for a minimum of one year,. It's better to see one-year stints at several restaurant than someone who's worked for four years at one."

HELLO! This has to be talkin' straight to me...i've been here for four years now (where i work at)... and lately i've been feeling empty... "gosh what do I do now?" . It was like the only thing i could do is work to move up... But I felt... i'm not even ready to be a chef here... or even be in the position i was in. It's like everyone was movin' fast all around me, getting better paychecks, positions, etc (and of course I was one of them)... but that's not what i wanted... my problem was my knowledge... i felt like it was one dimensional.... "this can not be it!"

And that's why i decided to set my goals again... I've learned alot from the place I am now, but this is not it! There is more! I still want to travel and work in other kitchens... i want to be able to soak in as much as I can now... I have less responsibilities than a chef! I should definitely take that into consideration. I remember one chef telling me... once you move up, you will have less time and opportunity to learn... you have to do it all... now!

And that's my goal!

Deborah Eley De Bono said...

We all need inspiration, don't we and it's good to get it from family. Why not, they are always around. I stood at that same stove with my grandma and mom and learned to cook, something that I treasure to this day. I passed on that love to my daughter as I'm sure you will too.

Good luck with your dreams and goals I bet you'll accomplish many things.

Anonymous said...

I am pleased you have come to that realization. So often people get bogged down in life and before they know it they are not where they decided or wanted to be. Best of luck with your quest for culinary knowledge!

Thank you so much!

Funding awarded for more Changing Places toilets in NHS hospitals

Friday January 24th, 2020

Over £500,000 has been given to 10 NHS trusts in England today to build new Changing Places toilets for severely disabled people.grants

Thousands of severely disabled people will benefit from new government funding, which is expected to more than double the number of Changing Places toilets in NHS hospitals across England.

Changing Places are toilets with additional equipment for people who are not able to use the toilet independently, including adult-sized changing benches and hoists.

Over £500,000 has been made available to 10 trusts across England today to start work on 16 new facilities, with a further £1.5 million available to bid for.

There are currently just over 50 of these facilities on the NHS England estate. With this first share of funding, it is expected that the total number of Changing Places in hospitals will eventually increase to over 100.

The Minister for Care, Caroline Dinenage, is calling for more trusts to bid for the funding and also for all new hospital facilities to include a Changing Places facility in their plans.

People with severe disabilities, such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, and their carers say Changing Places facilities can be life changing and allow them to go out in public or attend hospital appointments without fear or stress.

In the absence of Changing Places facilities, disabled people and their carers face:

  • limiting what they drink to avoid needing the toilet when they are out – risking dehydration and urinary tract infections
  • sitting in soiled clothing or dirty nappies until a suitable toilet is found or they return home
  • having to be changed on a dirty toilet floor
  • manually lifting someone out of their wheelchair – risking safety
  • reducing their time out of the house – restricting their social lives

The announcement forms part of cross-government work to improve accessibility. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) consulted last year on proposals that would add Changing Places toilets to more than 150 new buildings a year, including shopping centres, supermarkets, cinemas, stadiums and arts venues.

The proposals would add the facilities to specific new, large buildings commonly used by the public, as well as those undergoing building works. MHCLG intends to respond to the consultation in spring this year.

Minister for Care Caroline Dinenage said:

“People with severe disabilities deserve to live with dignity and independence, but lack of access to adequate toilet facilities can be a huge challenge. Hospitals, like all public spaces, have a duty to cater for people with disabilities – who risk discomfort, embarrassment and even injury without access to a Changing Place.

This funding will make a real difference to tens of thousands of people and their carers who use NHS hospitals and I am delighted that trusts can begin building work as soon as possible, with further funding still available.

While today will help us to double the number of Changing Places in NHS trusts, we still have far to go – I expect every hospital development to include a Changing Places facility in their future plans.”

Dock Scheduling Software Help You Oversaw Your Dock Supply Chain

discover more here very much oversaw and productively running dock has a characteristic inclination to dishearten burglary. For a certain something, the exchange among truck and distribution center is rendered substantially more proficient and less tedious. The less time a driver or shipment is required to hold up in your transportation yard, the less open door there is for burglary or altering. With the correct execution of a quality dock booking framework, you can regularly streamline and robotize the planning procedure, permitting the two drivers and dock directors to see the status of arrangements continuously.

On the off chance dock scheduling software that you have seen high misfortunes because of burglary in your stockroom, you may attempt to investigate this information and check whether there are a specific things that are getting taken all the more regularly. For example, you may see that your level screen televisions are once in a while taken, however those gaming supports apparently take off the racks. On the off chance that you see this sort of pattern, place those profoundly pined for things inside vision of the executives. Indeed, even without consistent observing, there is less compulsion to take and less likelihood of succeeding, when somebody could be viewing.

While dock scheduling software is a huge venture, introducing shut circuit television cameras in vital areas all through your office are a unimaginable methods for recognizing criminals, worker or something else. Since these cameras can catch and store film nonstop, you have continuous inclusion of each edge of your stockroom. On the off chance that you see you are having an issue with burglary, basically audit the recording and distinguish the shoplifters. This recording can likewise be utilized as proof in court cases.

Dock scheduling software have decent method to anticipate worker burglary is to contract the ideal individual for the activity. Nonetheless, this isn’t in every case simple. At the exceptionally least, you should run a personal investigation on any candidates and consistently follow up on their references. In the event that you realize that a portion of your present workers have criminal records identified with burglary, you may offer them places that don’t expect them to associate with important stock. At long last, treating your representatives well, similar to they are esteemed individuals from the group and keeping them propelled will do some incredible things for your misfortune aversion endeavors.

BRAAAAAAAM: Serenity Trailer Recut in the Style of Inception

Yeah, so I’m a predictable little fanboy, because someone could mash up the Serenity trailer with the opening credits soundtrack from Archie Bunker and I’d still post it.

Is the failure of the Ivanpah the final death knell of the Solar Thermal technology?

1 Comment

We at Greenworldinvestor had sounded the end of the solar thermal technology almost 3 years ago, when we had said the technology was no longer competitive with silicon solar PV technology. CSP technology which is based on solar thermal effect had many technology providers four to five years ago. At that time, the cost of solar PV was almost at par with solar thermal technology and both technologies were being used to build solar power plants. However as costs of silicon solar panel falls drastically each year, solar thermal technology started to look like an expensive hobby. Despite this, many countries such as USA and India continued to push solar thermal power plants through subsidies. But even as solar PV has become a mainstream energy source, solar thermal technology is still trying to find its feet.

While many solar thermal projects have been abandoned, some like Brightsouce Energy’s Ivanpah plant built at a cost of more than $2 billion got developed. However, many others were replaced with solar PV technology, as most solar thermal companies realized the massive cost advantages of solar PV compared to solar thermal. They were anyway fighting a losing battle.

Now the Ivanpah plant built by Brightsouce is running into trouble, as the power towers are failing to generate the required power as per the contract with Californian utilities. Brightsource plant may be shut down, if it fails to ramp up the power generation. Note power towers are niche technology and still in the conceptual stage. This is the first large plant built by Brightsouce and its failure would not be a totally unexpected outcome as a new technology takes time to stabilize. However, if Ivanpah fails, then it will be a major blow to solar thermal technology and it may not recover. Solar PV costs continue to decline making solar thermal look worse and even after 5 years, solar thermal technology is not expected to come close to solar PV costs.

With lithium battery costs expected to fall by 50% over the next 5-6 years, the only substantial advantage of solar thermal over solar PV will also evaporate. Currently solar thermal is able to store power through molten salts and oil, and supply power even at night which solar PV can’t do. But ubiquitous and cheap lithium batteries will make this advantage disappear.

    Sneha I like the stuff you write on. Good and informative. I am an Architect with a very eco-friendly inclination and feel that Solar PV will see a lot of popular movement in near future. Solar thermal is nascent and will find its foot hold in time to come in niche areas of power generation.

MDT Vertical Grip – Adjustable

Realizing that the vertical grip orientation is the preferred position for some competition shooters, we at MDT have created our Adjustable Vertical Grip, consisting of a machined core and two polymer side panels.

The panels are removable and hold a similar shape to our original MDT Pistol Grip to provide comfort and hand support whether shooting prone or in position.

With our usual theme of modularity, these panels have been designed to slide forward and back allowing shooters to custom fit the grip to their liking. MDT’s vertical grip is compatible with standard AR pistol grip boss which means it can be used on any chassis in our product line and many from other manufacturers as well.

Etaion shrdlu blinking aid

Better communication after a stroke
  [vote for,

Jean-Do Bauby wrote 'The Diving Bell And The Butterfly' by blinking at the appropriate letter as they were recited from the most common to the rarest in the French language, because the only voluntary movement he could make after a stroke was to blink one eyelid. I have been told, and i seriously hope this is not true, that blinking in this way, or making some other voluntary movement if another muscle can be moved, is standard practice for communication in this situation. I am also sceptical about blinking being his only voluntary action because it sounds to me that he could also move his eye. If that had not been possible, he would have been blind because vision depends on eye movements.

There is a very clear solution to this problem. I have done a search and can't find a reference to anything similar, so i'm posting it here.

Suppose someone has locked-in syndrome, where they are cognitively intact but can only move one voluntary muscle. Arrange the letters of in this case English in three grids. Combine some letters, namely I and J and U and V, as they were before the eighteenth century. Establish a convention where X is replaced by KS or Z, QU by KW, C is used to spell the sound customarily spelt CH in English and replace C itself by K and S as appropriate. This frees up some space for the most common words of more than two letters. Omit the articles and "is"; they aren't needed in an emergency. Then produce the following grids:

Grid one:

E, T, R
O, A, D
C, U/V, L

Grid two:

I/J, N, M
H, S, F
P, Y, W

Grid three:

B, G, and
Z, K, you
that, for, with

Then, blink (or whatever) as follows:

First blink: which grid. Second blink: X-coordinate. Third blink: Y-coordinate.

There are no spaces and no punctuation, but the former can be produced by pauses and the latter by spelling them out when ambiguity needs to be avoided. It would be possible to communicate each of these letters or words with a maximum of nine blinks, and the speed of communication could be increased further through such techniques as the use of text speech.

Construct similar tables for each language based on frequency. For Austonesian languages, communication could be sufficiently fast to mean that the patient would be motivated to learn, for example, Samoan or Hawaiian simply to communicate faster than in an Indoeuropean language.

If the patient has more movement than just one muscle, they can use the other muscle movements to indicate more than one coordinate at a time. For instance, if they can move one eye freely, they can indicate a letter by moving their eye to the appropriate ninth of their visual field and blinking the requisite number of times.

I considered Morse code and ASCII but this would involve more learning and coordination than such people might be able to manage. This can be acquired much more swiftly, though clearly learning Samoan or Hawaiian would take longer for many people if they spoke, say, Spanish, Russian or English. The same applies to Blissymbols.

This system could be used by people who are disabled in various ways, by people who have been restrained to communicate with each other, by prisoners tapping on pipes and by S&M people who have been restrained for recreational purposes. OK, a couple of frivolous examples there, but basically i am serious about this.

Somebody please tell me this is baked or that something better is, because otherwise there are a load of people out there who are needlessly imprisoned by their disabilities.

The 5x5 grid MikeD mentions. [jutta, Apr 07 2008]

       Stephen Hawking uses something similarish. He selected words from a long list, by repeatedly bisecting it (A though Z; A through M; A through G; etc until he reaches, say, E; then a similar process to select a specific word from a list of common ones).
MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 07 2008

       Thanks, [Maxwell]. I've often wondered about Hawking's system but have never bothered to look into it. He's clearly been using it a number of years because i know he's attached to the voice being associated with him and doesn't want it updated for that reason. I remember in the 'seventies the difficulty he used to have communicating, presumably because IT hadn't reached the appropriate stage. I wonder why his method isn't more widely used.

       [Amos Kito], thanks for the links. Those are clearly good, particularly the salivary pH thing which is mind-blowing. I did have a rather silly thought about penis use at one point, but couldn't think of something less prurient. However, i seem to remember the problem with using eye-tracking was that people would look in the direction they weren't supposed to simply because they knew they weren't. The other thing is, this works very well in situations where access to that technology is available, but that isn't always so. For instance, a victim of a medical emergency such as a building collapse or RTA would need a less technologically elaborate channel of communication which might need to work very fast. It also doesn't account for the fringe uses i mentioned. Useful though: thanks.
nineteenthly, Apr 07 2008

       //a building collapse//

       Shirley we can’t use any of this for instant communication. “…Now on to Grid 3, the the X-Y coordinates are thus…”
The persons involved would have to already know the code.
Amos Kito, Apr 07 2008

       Two thoughts:
1. Abbreviations of long words (e.g. writing just the consonants) might be faster.

       2. But then, say you just write the consonants, the E-T-A-O-I-N-S-... sequence of frequency will change completely.

       3. Three thoughts. There are Three thoughts.

       4. There should be choices for "I'm tired, let me sleep please", "call nurse", and other illness related things

       5. Four thoughts. There are Four thoughts. No, Five.
phundug, Apr 07 2008

       Could Morse code be used?
phundug, Apr 07 2008

       OK, [phundug], it's a question of learning curves. Morse code would probably lead to more efficient communication if you didn't have to learn it, but consider the poor person who's lying there unable to communicate and going quietly mad and suicidal. They are going to want a quick solution, even if it isn't so good in the long term, provided it's good enough. If i tap "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz" out in Morse, i produce ninety-seven dits or dahs. If i do the same with my system, i get hundreds of blinks. However, i also get someone who can communicate while traumatised and at the lowest emotional ebb of their lives, and they get a ray of hope learning an easier system.

       Abbreviation could be faster but that doesn't just mean avoiding vowels in English. "An", "in" and "on" all have the same consonants, and although any words which would be abbreviated would be longer than that, the principle remains the same. However, that would work fine in Hebrew or Arabic. You're absolutely right about the frequency though, and that is an issue. Maybe resolve it by constructing frequency tables from text messages?

       In practice, i think the person doing the "listening" would end up autocompleting, which gets round both the long-windedness of the system compared to Morse and the problem of changing relative frequency.

       The illness-related option would be appropriate in the early stages of locked-in syndrome, but might be less appropriate later. Maybe there should be several options there, or a user-defined sheet. What i like about the several options option is trying to imagine what would appear on the S&M grid.

       Then there's T nine of course, but seeing as that drives me up the wall already, in that position i'd prefer not to go there.

       Oh, and the other thing is, yes, they would have to know the code for it to work in an emergency, but people do regularly opt to learn the likes of first aid, self-defence and survival skills for similar reasons, so it could happen if it were widely known.
nineteenthly, Apr 07 2008

       Maybe blinking costs effort. Maybe it's easier to blink at a certain point in time than a certain number of times. If I have that kind of stroke, let's try gaze direction + blink, that sounds more promising.

       > Somebody please tell me this is baked or that something better is, because otherwise there are a load of people out there who are needlessly imprisoned by their disabilities.

       An improvement in blink code efficiency will hardly change that, much as we wish it would.

       > In practice, i think the person doing the "listening" would end up autocompleting,

       Yeah, I think that's true regardless of spelling system. I wonder whether it can actually be rather frustrating to a writer. I could see a situation where an author insists, "no, really, just write what I spell, don't insert yourself by trying to `help'."

       Looking into the details of the working relationship between Claude Mendibil and Jean-Do Bauby, the Guardian article runs: "Gradually, the process became quicker until Bauby would only have to spell the first couple of letters before Mendibil guessed the rest of the word. This did lead to some misunderstandings - once, when he asked for his glasses (lunettes), his carers were left wondering what he wanted to do with the Moon (lune)." (Doesn't really sound all that frustrated.)

       The process gets faster as its participants become more familiar with it: "Just before she stands, I ask her if she still remembers the alphabet. 'Yes. Do you want me to recite it?' I nod. She does so with astonishing speed, each of the 26 letters spoken in a split-second, delivered with shotgun clarity."
jutta, Apr 07 2008

       Given that a working vocabulary is about 4000 words, a binary system ought to be able to represent any word in about 12 actions (if they are binary actions like look-left/look right), which is not much worse than typing. With four possible gestures (look left/look right/blink/cross eyes), only 6 gestures are needed. Of course, you need some prearranged word list, but in the long term it would work. You'd wind up looking like Marty Feldman, however, during arguments.
MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 07 2008

       After a quick check on google to make sure I wasn't about to spill the beans on a classified system>

       Wherever an American POW is kept, will surely have a 5X5 grid (excluding K) etched on the wall.

       [Jutta], it wouldn't make all the difference to their lives, but there would still be a big difference between the prospect of no or extremely arduous communication and, let's face it, only somewhat less arduous communication. It really should be more than blinking if possible, which would be less arduous, and i just cannot believe that Bauby didn't have any control over his eye movements, because firstly saccades are necessary for vision, and secondly he was able to watch TV, so for him at least, he would have been able to use a grid by means of "pointing" with his direction of gaze.

       The autocompletion issue, i suppose, is a little like a stutterer's (which i used to be, incidentally) frustration at having their sentences completed by listeners attempting to be helpful, which might explain why i don't like autocomplete features on cellphones/mobiles.

       [Maxwell], that's great and could be a long-term solution, but it'd take a long time to remember the positions of the whole lot. Speakers of languages whose script includes Chinese characters would probably have a head start, i imagine.

       Interesting about the tap code. It could be made more efficient, but i see that abbreviations developed anyway, based on the context.

       I would also expect there to be some kind of law regarding information and language, in that languages expressed using fewer characters would need more of them to communicate the same amount of information, so the likes of Hawaiian are probably just as long-winded by this method as Cambodian, Caucasian languages or Japanese, but in a different way. Then again, there might be different levels of redundancy.

This Teacher Training will be based on my own evolution in both acquired knowledge and observations gained during the past 25 - 30 years of teaching.

Yoga is a never-ending journey when you remain open to the energies around you: when you listen: when you look and when you remain faithful to the roots.  It can take many different forms and none is better or worse than another when these edicts are observed.  Staying honest with yourself, eschewing ambition and never imposing your way on others is to me the humble approach of a Yogi.

I do not believe in limiting anyone from learning more, so the workshops and retreats will be open to both aspiring teachers and those who just wish to gain a greater insight into their own developmental progress.  This inclusion is sometimes of value to those who wish to become teachers, to see how one can incorporate different levels onto a common ground.  It also realistically shows where to draw the line, or how much information one can pour into a person at any one time. For those more advanced the slower approach is at times a moment to gain a deeper insight into something one thought one already knew quite well.  At no time though will the work regress to a purely beginners level.  These levels need to be known and observed, but the work will always take all the participators to another level personally.

Each retreat or workshop will be a composite of the material, which being as extensive as it is has many variations on a theme. I am therefore proposing for those seriously interested, that they should expect to participate in at least:

One long retreat  (2-3 weeks)
Two to three short Intensive retreats (3-5 days)

Within a 1 year to 18 months period.
(This is not restricted to a calendar year but within that specific time-frame.)

These stipulations are an approximation, and assuming that there will be some consistency in training in-between these retreats as well.  In the absence of being able to attend class regularly, the requirements will be more extensive and subject to closer observation.

I will be conducting these shorter courses, in both East and West Coast locations in North America, and in Europe.  The longer retreats will be at present:

Costa Rica or Puerto Rico - Winter
Morocco or Italy - Summer

Other locations also planned for the future.

My intention is at all times to keep costs as reasonable as possible, but the location and ambience are important for a good and healthy energy.

Taking the retreats, and fulfilling the above requirements will not necessarily ensure the right to teach under the heading of “Yoga Narada®” as it is very important to me that the essence of the work as I believe in it, is understood and conveyed correctly.  I look at the training as an old fashioned and generally slow apprenticeship, whereby the final graduation comes as a demonstration of understanding and absorption of the material, and the ability to articulate it, as well as structure a class at any level. The greater the participation the greater the level of understanding.

No one owns Yoga, and we cannot force our beliefs on others.  I do nevertheless, want to preserve a consistency in this particular form of Yoga.  My endeavour will be to encourage each individual to explore their own path in the process - making mistakes as we all do - bringing their own experiences and personality to the work, but always coming back to the spirit of the path chosen initially.

I look forward to welcoming anyone who is truly interested to embark on this journey, as long as they acknowledge what the process involves, and what I expect from the heart and soul of a teacher.

“I think with teaching the important thing is to always see the movement as a whole.  One tends sometimes to focus and detail on one section or part of a movement more than another, because it is the bit one either knows the most, or struggled with the most!  Rather like a surgeon who knows his specialty really well but then forgets that that one area has to be related  and connected to the whole.  Also remembering that encouraging relaxation, rather than more effort, usually has the greater effect and rewards.”

The Eve of the Revolution, Chapter I: A Patriot of 1763

His Majesty’s reign…I predict will be happy and truly glorious.–Benjamin Franklin.

The 29th of January, 1757, was a notable day in the life of Ben Franklin of Philadelphia, well known in the metropolis of America as printer and politician, and famous abroad as a scientist and Friend of the Human Race. It was on that day that the Assembly of Pennsylvania commissioned him as its agent to repair to London in support of its petition against the Proprietors of the Province, who were charged with having “obstinately persisted in manacling their deputies [the Governors of Pennsylvania] with instructions inconsistent not only with the privileges of the people, but with the service of the Crown.” We may, therefore, if we choose, imagine the philosopher on that day, being then in his fifty-first year, walking through the streets of this metropolis of America (a town of something less than twenty thousand inhabitants) to his modest home, and there informing his “Dear Debby” that her husband, now apparently become a great man in a small world, was ordered immediately “home to England.”

In those leisurely days, going home to England was no slight undertaking; and immediately, when there was any question of a great journey, meant as soon as the gods might bring it to pass. “I had agreed with Captain Morris, of the Pacquet at New York, for my passage,” he writes in the “Autobiography,” “and my stores were put on board, when Lord Loudoun arrived at Philadelphia, expressly, as he told me, to endeavor an accommodation between the Governor and the Assembly, that his Majesty’s service might not be obstructed by their dissentions.” Franklin was the very man to effect an accommodation, when he set his mind to it, as he did on this occasion; but “in the mean time,” he relates, “the Pacquet had sailed with my sea stores, which was some loss to me, and my only recompence was his Lordship’s thanks for my service, all the credit for obtaining the accommodation falling to his share.”

It was now war time, and the packets were at the disposal of Lord Loudoun, commander of the forces in America. The General was good enough to inform his accommodating friend that of the two packets then at New York, one was given out to sail on Saturday, the 12th of April–“but,” the great man added very confidentially, “I may let you know, entre nous, that if you are there by Monday morning, you will be in time, but do not delay longer.” As early as the 4th of April, accordingly, the provincial printer and Friend of the Human Race, accompanied by many neighbors “to see him out of the province,” left Philadelphia. He arrived at Trenton “well before night,” and expected, in case “the roads were no worse,” to reach Woodbridge by the night following. In crossing over to New York on the Monday, some accident at the ferry delayed him, so that he did not reach the city till nearly noon, and he feared that he might miss the packet after all–Lord Loudoun had so precisely mentioned Monday morning. Happily, no such thing! The packet was still there. It did not sail that day, or the next either; and as late as the 29th of April Franklin was still hanging about waiting to be off. For it was war time and the packets waited the orders of General Loudoun, who, ready in promises but slow in execution, was said to be “like St. George on the signs, always on horseback but never rides on.”

Franklin himself was a deliberate man, and at the last moment he decided, for some reason or other, not to take the first packet. Behold him, therefore, waiting for the second through the month of May and the greater part of June! “This tedious state of uncertainty and long waiting,” during which the agent of the Province of Pennsylvania, running back and forth from New York to Woodbridge, spent his time more uselessly than ever he remembered, was duly credited to the perversity of the British General. But at last they were off, and on the 26th of July, three and a half months after leaving Philadelphia, Franklin arrived in London to take up the work of his mission; and there he remained, always expecting to return shortly, but always delayed, for something more than five years.

These were glorious days in the history of Old England, the most heroic since the reign of Good Queen Bess. When the provincial printer arrived in London, the King and the politicians had already been forced, through multiplied reverses in every part of the world, to confer power upon William Pitt, a disagreeable man indeed, but still a great genius and War Lord, who soon turned defeat into victory. It was the privilege of Franklin, here in the capital of the Empire, to share the exaltation engendered by those successive conquests that gave India and America to the little island kingdom, and made Englishmen, in Horace Walpole’s phrase, “heirs apparent of the Romans.” No Briton rejoiced more sincerely than this provincial American in the extension of the Empire. He labored with good will and good humor, and doubtless with good effect, to remove popular prejudice against his countrymen; and he wrote a masterly pamphlet to prove the wisdom of retaining Canada rather than Guadaloupe at the close of the war, confidently assuring his readers that the colonies would never, even when once the French danger was removed, “unite against their own nation, which protects and encourages them, with which they have so many connections and ties of blood, interest, and affection, and which ’tis well known they all love much more than they love one another.” Franklin, at least, loved Old England, and it might well be maintained that these were the happiest years of his life. He was mentally so cosmopolitan, so much at ease in the world, that here in London he readily found himself at home indeed. The business of his particular mission, strictly attended to, occupied no great part of his time. He devoted long days to his beloved scientific experiments, and carried on a voluminous correspondence with David Hume and Lord Kames, and with many other men of note in England, France, and Italy. He made journeys, to Holland, to Cambridge, to ancestral places and the homes of surviving relatives; but mostly, one may imagine, he gave himself to a steady flow of that “agreeable and instructive conversation” of which he was so much the master and the devotee. He was more famous than he knew, and the reception that everywhere awaited him was flattering, and as agreeable to his unwarped and emancipated mind as it was flattering. “The regard and friendship I meet with,” he confesses, “and the conversation of ingenious men, give me no small pleasure”; and at Cambridge, “my vanity was not a little gratified by the particular regard shown me by the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of the University, and the Heads of the Colleges.” As the years passed, the sense of being at ease among friends grew stronger; the serene and placid letters to “Dear Debby” became rather less frequent; the desire to return to America was much attenuated.

How delightful, indeed, was this Old England! “Of all the enviable things England has,” he writes, “I envy it most its people…. Why should this little island enjoy in almost every neighborhood more sensible, virtuous, and elegant minds, than we can collect in ranging one hundred leagues of our vast forests?” What a proper place for a philosopher to spin out the remnant of his days! The idea had occurred to him; he was persistently urged by his friend William Strahan to carry it into effect; and his other friend, David Hume, made him a pretty compliment on the same theme: “America has sent us many good things, gold, silver, sugar, tobacco; but you are the first philosopher for whom we are beholden to her. It is our own fault that we have not kept him; whence it appears that we do not agree with Solomon, that wisdom is above gold; for we take good care never to send back an ounce of the latter, which we once lay our fingers upon.” The philosopher was willing enough to remain; and of the two objections which he mentioned to Strahan, the rooted aversion of his wife to embarking on the ocean and his love for Philadelphia, the latter for the moment clearly gave him less difficulty than the former. “I cannot leave this happy island and my friends in it without extreme regret,” he writes at the moment of departure. “I am going from the old world to the new; and I fancy I feel like those who are leaving this world for the next; grief at the parting; fear of the passage; hope for the future.”

When, on the 1st of November, 1762, Franklin quietly slipped into Philadelphia, he found that the new world had not forgotten him. For many days his house was filled from morning till night with a succession of friends, old and new, come to congratulate him on his return; excellent people all, no doubt, and yet presenting, one may suppose, a rather sharp contrast to the “virtuous and elegant minds” from whom he had recently parted in England. The letters he wrote, immediately following his return to America, to his friends William Strahan and Mary Stevenson lack something of the cheerful and contented good humor which is Franklin’s most characteristic tone. His thoughts, like those of a homesick man, are ever dwelling on his English friends, and he still nourishes the fond hope of returning, bag and baggage, to England for good and all. The very letter which he begins by relating the cordiality of his reception in Philadelphia he closes by assuring Strahan that “in two years at fartherest I hope to settle all my affairs in such manner as that I may then conveniently remove to England–provided,” he adds as an afterthought, “we can persuade the good woman to cross the sea. That will be the great difficulty.”

It is not known whether it was this difficulty that prevented the eminent doctor, revered in two continents for his wisdom, from changing the place of his residence. Dear Debby, as docile as a child in most respects, very likely had her settled prejudices, of which the desire to remain on dry land may have been one, and one of the most obstinate. Or it may be that Franklin found himself too much occupied, too much involved in affairs after his long absence, to make even a beginning in his cherished plan; or else, as the months passed and he settled once more to the familiar, humdrum life of the American metropolis, sober second thought may have revealed to him what was doubtless a higher wisdom. “Business, public and private, devours my time,” he writes in March, 1764. “I must return to England for repose. With such thoughts I flatter myself, and need some kind friend to put me often in mind THAT OLD TREES CANNOT SAFELY BE TRANSPLANTED.” Perhaps, after all, Dear Debby was this kind friend; in which case Americans must all, to this day, be much indebted to the good woman.

At least it was no apprehension of difficulties arising between England and the colonies that induced Franklin to remain in America. The Peace of Paris he regarded as “the most advantageous” of any recorded in British annals, very fitting to mark the close of a successful war, and well suited to usher in the long period of prosperous felicity which should properly distinguish the reign of a virtuous prince. Never before, in Franklin’s opinion, were the relations between Britain and her colonies more happy; and there could be, he thought, no good reason to fear that the excellent young King would be distressed, or his prerogative diminished, by factitious parliamentary opposition.

“You now fear for our virtuous young King, that the faction forming will overpower him and render his reign uncomfortable [he writes to Strahan]. On the contrary, I am of opinion that his virtue and the consciousness of his sincere intentions to make his people happy will give him firmness and steadiness in his measures and in the support of the honest friends he has chosen to serve him; and when that firmness is fully perceived, faction will dissolve and be dissipated like a morning fog before the rising sun, leaving the rest of the day clear with a sky serene and cloudless. Such after a few of the first years will be the future course of his Majesty’s reign, which I predict will be happy and truly glorious. A new war I cannot yet see reason to apprehend. The peace will I think long continue, and your nation be as happy as they deserve to be.”
