2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS With Specification

Upcoming Cars in 2012 HYUNDAI GENESIS With Prices, Specification And Previews and Images.

Our spy photographers have managed to catch Hyundai’s facelifted 2011 (or 2012) Genesis sedan undergoing testing in the Mojave desert.

While the Genesis is only a year old, Hyundai apparently wanted to bring the car’s styling more in line with the company’s new Equus flagship. Up front, the changes appear to be limited to a new bumper and modified fog lights. Out back, there are new LED design taillights, integrated exhaust tips similar to the Equus, and a slightly altered rear bumper.

Engine options will likely carry over, meaning we can expect a 290 hp 3.8-liter V6 and a 368 hp 4.6-liter V8. Eventually the Genesis may be offered with a new 5.0-liter V8 with over 400 hp
The Genesis 4.6 returns this year with 10 extra horses added to the award-winning Tau® V8 engine for a total of 385 horsepower and more standard features from last year’s Technology package. The 10 additional horsepower were added as a running change in 2010 model year and propel the Genesis 4.6 from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds (2010 5.7 seconds).
The Tau still produces more horsepower and torque than the powerplants found in the Lexus GS460 and Audi A8. It also delivers more horsepower per liter than any of these V8 competitors. Genesis 4.6 continues to offer buyers the option to use premium or regular fuel. (concept carz) The Tau is rated at 378 horsepower on regular fuel and 385 horsepower on premium fuel and has been one of Ward’s Auto’s 10 best engines for two consecutive years.

Barcelona-based budget carrier Vueling in the coming weeks will unveil its first business-class cabin as part of a strategic effort that also includes a sizable network and fleet expansion next year, as well as a new fare structure.

Few details on the fleet expansion, new cabin or fare changes are currently being disclosed, with Vueling instead focused on promoting the addition of 28 new routes next year at its Barcelona El Prat Airport hub. This network expansion includes increased frequencies, as well as new services to Belgium, Eastern Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, France, Greece, Italy, Russia and Sweden.

New services also are planned from March 2013 to Northern and Central Africa, as well as London Gatwick, CEO Alex Cruz said during a webcast press conference. Domestic services also will be added early next year, he said.

Five of the routes—Dresden, Germany; Fez, Morocco; Rennes, France; Rhodes and Kos, Greece—are new to El Prat.

This growth will increase Vueling’s El Prat network to 100 destinations and will help the carrier meet its goal of connecting 2 million passengers a year through its home airport. “Barcelona will become the most important European hub in 2014,” Cruz added, noting that in the past two years Vueling has added 45 new destinations at El Prat to make the airport second to Frankfurt for short- and medium-haul services across Europe.

More routes also are planned for Vueling’s non-hub airports, with new destinations and frequencies on offer for Alicante, Bilbao, Malaga and the Balearic and Canary Islands networks. Vueling’s continued expansion, indeed the carrier’s new strategy, is focused on business travelers, who the airline says will account for 50% of its traffic by the end of 2013.

The new fare structure, which Cruz says will include new fees, will be “well suited to the business customer.” A new marketing campaign will support this push, although Vueling offered little information apart from a new slogan.

This lack of detail to the fare structure and marketing campaign extends to the fleet expansion, with Vueling saying only that its El Prat-based fleet will grow to 43 aircraft from 34 and that 500 more staff will be needed. During the press conference, Cruz noted that the aircraft will come “straight from the factory” with the new cabin layout, and that a few Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft will be operated by the end of the year, but he offered no specifics on aircraft type, delivery schedule or ownership of this additional fleet.

Vueling currently operates about 60 Airbus narrowbodies—mostly A320s—with a single cabin configuration. Other than the announcement of a new business class, which will be branded “Excellence,” Vueling’s senior management is providing no details, although Cruz did say an announcement will be forthcoming “in a few weeks.”

The airline’s commitment to growth is in contrast to many of its European rivals, although the airline is still significantly smaller than many of Europe’s budget and legacy operations. But the carrier, which was launched in 2004, has been profitable for four consecutive years, and, according to Chairman Josep Pique, it expects to return more positive earnings at the end of 2012.

Have you ever felt tension in your chest when you feel stressed? Or those short-lived moments of intense panic and fear? Maybe breathing or concentrating seems impossible? Many of us can likely relate to these questions and we call this experience anxiety. Some might think that only a select few of us have to deal with anxiety when in fact it is something all of us experience, to some degree, at some point in our lives.

Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension and worried thoughts. It is accompanied by physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, or increased heart rate [1]. Popular convention suggests that anxiety is just a mental disorder when it is actually part of the body’s natural response to anticipation of future threats. In fact, some arousal (anxiety) is actually helpful for increasing productivity levels.

The Yerkes-Dodson Law suggests that there is an empirical relationship between stress and performance. Moderate levels of stress can help you concentrate and focus on a given task. However, extreme levels of anxiety can interrupt your concentration and interfere with your performance. Anxiety culminates into anxiety disorder when feelings of tension and worry become too excessive and hard to control, causes significant distress or impairment, and occurs more often than not for at least six months [2].   The chart below shows that performance level is strong when stress is moderate and hindered when stress is too low or too high.

Performance vs Stress Curve
Hebbian version of the Yerkes–Dodson law

It’s important to understand anxiety affects each person differently and symptoms can vary. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorder and affects approximately 30% of adults at some point in their lives [3]. The type of anxiety disorder can vary and range from generalized anxiety disorder to more specific phobias and panic disorder. Potential causes and symptoms of anxiety disorders include:

Possible Causes

  • Genetics
  • Stress from work, social settings, financials, trauma, etc.
  • Existential panic
  • Substance Abuse
  • Excess Caffeine Use
  • Lack of Sleep
  • Poor Diet
  • Lack of Exercise
  • High heart rate
  • Panic Attacks
  • Muscle tension
  • Irritability
  • Racing thoughts
  • High heart rate
  • Insomnia
  • Detachment from reality
  • Difficulty/inability to concentrate
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Shortness of breath

Coping strategies for Anxiety

A key component of anxiety is your body’s physical response; your heart rate and breathing speeds up and you perspire and feel tense. A state of relaxation is an important step in comprehensive treatment as it will help slow down or manage physical effects. It’s harder to feel anxious if you are already in a calm, relaxed state and it’s easier to calm yourself by practicing regular relaxation techniques. The elements that characterize a state of relaxation include:

Elements of Relaxation

  • Slow and even heart rate
  • Deep and even breathing
  • Loose and relaxed muscles
  • Hands and feet feel warm, heavy, or both
  • Mind feels at peace
  • The body has energy for several hours
  • Feeling refreshed

Coping Skills

The following 6 coping strategies can help slow down your heart rate and breathing pattern to manage your anxiety.

  • AWARE Method
  • Mediation
  • Visualization
  • Progressive Muscle Relaxation
  • Autogenic Relaxation
  • Diaphragmatic Breathing
AWARE Method

AWARE Method

One way you can reach a state of relaxation is by learning how to personally manage your symptoms and cope with the anxiety. Paradoxically, learning to accept your anxiety is an easy way to help you overcome it. Dr. Aaron Beck and colleagues developed a cognitive therapy tool for managing anxiety known as the AWARE method.

  • Accept the anxiety – Accept the anxious thoughts and feelings as natural.  Focus on feeling anxiety without becoming annoyed or frustrated with yourself. Greet it by saying “hello” out loud or to yourself when the anxiety appears.  Challenge yourself to be with the experience, not fight it. If you resist the anxiety you’re essentially prolonging the unpleasantness of it. Instead, you should just flow with it.
  • Watch your anxiety –  Look at it objectively, without judgement, and rate it on a zero to ten scale. Record the scores and see how your anxiety goes up and down. The more you can separate yourself from the experience, the more you can just watch it. Dissociate your basic self from the anxiety; be in the anxiety state, but not of it.
  • Act with your anxiety – Normalize the situation and function with it. Slow things down if you have to, but keep going and breathe slowly and normally.
  • Repeat as much as possible – Continue to work on accepting your anxiety, watch it, and act with it until it goes down to a comfortable level
  • Expect the best – Anticipate that your worried thoughts and fears won’t happen, because they rarely ever do. Expect that you will accomplish your goal, and if you experience anxiety along the way remember to accept, watch, and act with it. Don’t be surprised the next time you have anxiety but rather surprise yourself with how you handle it. Being aware of future anxiety will help place you in a better position to accept it when it comes again.

Meditation exercises produce deep physiological relaxation and feelings of peace and tranquility [5]. It involves an active process of focusing your attention on your breathing to the point where you abandon the constant loop of stress provoking thoughts.

Meditation Statue

For example, think of a time when you were totally absorbed in a sensory experience such as listening to a beautiful piece of music or receiving a massage. You weren’t trying to analyze or manipulate the experience, you were just living it. This is similar to how your psychological posture should be during meditation.

  • Start by making yourself as comfortable as possible
  • Close your eyes
  • Relax your breathing and allow it to naturally find its rhythm
  • Next, focus your attention on the movements of your chest and stomach as you’re breathing
  • Once you are aware of your attention wandering, bring it back to your breathing
  • Continue to let your mind wander as you breathe by using a mantra to keep your breathing natural

Meditation Guide

Visualization practice combines a 4-4-8 breathing pattern with meditation practice. To do so:

  • start by inhaling for 4 seconds
  • holding for 4 seconds
  • and exhaling for 8 seconds
  • Repeat

Use your mind’s eye create a picture of a pleasant scene (your happy place).  For example, imagine you are walking on the beach. A cool fresh breeze blowing across your face and through your hair. As you are listening to the sounds of waves, you hear the birds singing across the beach.

Beach Visualization

Just imagine some experience that you personally find relaxing.  Focus on the details of the experience (sights, sounds, smells, feelings, etc.) and continue to breathe evenly and deeply. Open your eyes once you’ve reach a calm and relaxed state.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Another technique you can try is the Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) relaxation method that involves tensing muscle groups and releasing them. Contrasting muscle tension with release can be very effective in managing the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and moments of panic/intense anxiety [4]. Begin in sequence and work progressively throughout all major muscle groups, tensing and relaxing them one at a time. It is helpful to practice this technique several times (when not anxious) so you can more easily cue yourself to the relaxed state.

TO BEGIN: Sit with your back fairly straight or lie down on a comfortable surface. Try keeping your eyes closed and take a deep breathing in through your nose. Feel free to listen to relaxing music, if desired.

As you breathe deeply, focus your attention on your feet.

Toes – Curl your toes as tightly as you can and hold for five seconds. Relax.

Calves – Flex feet to tighten calves and hold for five seconds. Relax.

Thighs – Tighten your thigh muscles by pressing your knees together as tightly as you can for five seconds.

Hips and buttocks – Flex your hip and buttock muscles for five seconds. Relax.

Stomach – Focus on your belly button, take a deep breath in, release that breath, and tighten stomach muscles.

Shoulders – Move your shoulders forward, squeeze chest muscles and hold for five seconds. Relax.

Hands – Extend your arms in front of you. Clench your fists tightly for five seconds. Relax. Feel the warmth and calmness in your hands as you release.

Upper arms – Bend your elbows. Tense your biceps for five seconds. Relax. Feel the tension leave your arms.

Back – Squeeze shoulder blades together and hold for five seconds. Relax. Feel the anxiety and tension leave your body as you relax.

Forehead – Wrinkle your forehead; try to make your eyebrows touch your hairline for five seconds. Relax.

Eyes and nose – Close your eyes as tightly as you can for five seconds. Relax.

Lips, cheeks, and jaw – Tighten your lips, cheeks, and jaw and hold for five seconds. Relax. Feel the warmth and calmness in your face.

Focus on any muscles that may still feel tense. Breathe in for three seconds, hold for three seconds, and release for five seconds – releasing any remaining tension.

Once you begin to feel relaxed, focus your attention on feeling warm or as if you were on a sunny beach. Let the light and warmth travel throughout your relaxed body. Feel the waves come in and out with your breathing. Stay in this moment.

TO END: Slowly become aware and active. Become aware of your feet pressing on the floor, feel your body on the chair. Take five deep breaths with each breath becoming more alert. Wiggle your fingers and your toes [4].

Autogenic Relaxation

Autogenic Relaxation

Once you’ve learned to relax your muscle groups using the progressive muscle technique you can begin autogenic relaxation. This method teaches your body to respond to verbal commands so that you can achieve relaxation and reduce anxiety. Once you assume a comfortable position, close your eyes and slowly recite these instructions:

  1. My hands and arms are heavy and warm (5 times)
  2. My feet and legs are heavy and warm (5 times)
  3. My abdomen is warm and comfortable (omit if you have ulcers) (5 times)
  4. My breathing is deep and even (5 times)
  5. My breathing is calm and regular (10 times)
  6. My forehead is cool (5 times)
  7. When I open my eyes I will remain relaxed and refreshed (3 times)
  8. Perform the following sequence of body movements:
    • Move hands and arms about
    • Move feet and legs about
    • Rotate head
    • Open eyes and sit up
Diaphragmatic Breathing

Diaphragmatic Breathing

You can also manage your anxiety with this intentional breathing technique. Most people aren’t aware that deep breathing actually makes use of the body’s built-in natural relaxation response, which occurs when we exhale. You can use a deep diaphragmatic breathing technique to reduce your anxiety with deep breathes. This method uses a 3-3-5 breathing pattern:

  • Inhale for 3 seconds
  • Hold for 3 seconds
  • Exhale for 5 seconds

Make sure to breathe slowly and evenly with your mouth closed. Take notice of what you’re feeling throughout your body while exhaling; your muscles might feel warm and begin to feel light or heavy. Try and let yourself enjoy whatever sensations you’re experiencing. Repeat the diaphragmatic breathing exercise until you feel relaxed.

Professional Treatment for Anxiety Disorder

While these techniques are useful for managing symptoms of anxiety, there are proven treatment options that help fight against anxiety disorders such as

Psychotherapy attempts to help a patient identify triggers of his/her anxiety and learn cognitive behaviors to help deal with the issues.

Pharmacotherapy and diet/exercise management can improve serotonin levels in the brain and stabilize mood – an effective option for treating anxiety symptoms [6].

TMS is a non-invasive, outpatient treatment option that uses a pulsed magnetic field to stimulate function in specific regions of the brain and help treat anxiety. Researchers investigated how effective TMS is as a treatment option for generalized anxiety disorder and the results suggest 84.6% of patients’ anxiety symptoms were in remission [7].

IOPs are useful for providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT), crisis stabilization, and motivational and supportive therapy. IOPs show to be effective through continual support from the group and clinical team as they provide a steady increase in motivation, self-esteem, safety and security, and decrease unwanted behaviors associated with anxiety such as anxiousness and irritability [8].

All of us experience anxiety, and while oftentimes you can manage it, you shouldn’t wait until your symptoms reach a critical stage before seeking professional help. If you think you might be suffering from anxiety and personal strategies aren’t working to manage it, consider consulting a mental health professional. Effective treatment options vary from person to person, so start by talking to a psychiatrist or therapist and learn what works best for you.

 Opioid dependency has become one of our nation’s largest and most problematic epidemics. In 2012, more than 250 million prescriptions were written for opioids in the United States, which is enough for every adult to have their own bottle of pills [1].  Opioids are drugs that interact with the opioid receptors on nerve cells in the brain. Once attached, the drug reduces pain and produces a euphoric sensation throughout the body, commonly referred to as a “high”. Common opioids are oxycodone, hydrocodone, heroin, codeine, morphine, and other illegal and legally prescribed painkillers. Most victims of opioid dependency are average day Americans with chronic pain and become dependent on prescription painkillers. In fact, 4 out 5 new heroin users started out misusing their prescription pain medications [2].

Scope of the Opioid Epidemic

  • Every day, approximately 90 Americans overdose and die from opioid abuse [3]
  • The number of opioid-related deaths has nearly tripled since 2002 [4]
  • In 2015 alone, opioid overdose killed more Americans than car crashes, gun deaths, and gun homicides respectively [5]
  • Americans consume more opioids than any other country in the world, beating the second largest consuming country by over 61% [5]

Source: United Nations International Narcotics Control Board

When Does Opioid Use Become a Problem

When regulated properly, opioid use is an effective way to treat acute pain that arises from surgery or injury. Endorphins are natural painkillers the body produces, but sometimes the endorphins alone aren’t enough to subdue pain. Opioids act as synthetic endorphins when they attach to the opioid receptor. While this treatment option is fine as a short term solution, misuse can lead to unintended consequences such as dependency and tolerance( the need for higher doses). As the opioid use continues, the body stops producing these natural endorphins because the synthetic endorphins produced by the opioids tricks the body into thinking the natural endorphin levels are normal. The mind and body experience withdrawals when a person using opioids regularly tries to stop consuming opioids suddenly. The lack of endorphins causes the following withdrawal symptoms:
  • Mental cravings
  • Shakes
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Sweating
  • Insomnia
  • Flu like symptoms
Along with dependency and withdrawal issues, opioid abuse overdose can lead to fatal consequences. Some common signs/symptoms of opiate overdose are pinpoint pupils, unconsciousness, and respiratory depression. Respiratory depression is a major concern associated with opioid use. The medulla oblongata is a part of the brain that is responsible for breathing and opioids interrupt that function. When a person overdoses from opioids the respiratory receptors are blocked and breathing stops, resulting in death.Combining opiates with other sedating substances can increase a person’s risk of respiratory depression and death. The use of opiates with alcohol, even a small amount, benzodiazepines such as: alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonpin), temazepam (Resotril), diazepam (Valium) to name a few, and/or muscle relaxers can increase a person’s chance of overdose, respiratory depression and death.

How It’s Treated

There are proven treatment options that help fight opioid dependency such as psychotherapy, IOPs, naltrexone, buprenorphine, etc. Naltrexone and buprenorphine act as opioid antagonists which effectively substitutes for a full agonist opioid (such as those listed above) and stabilizes a person’s brain chemistry. The antagonist stops the development of further opioid tolerance by blocking the receptors in the brain and prevents the ability to feel high. The antagonists are useful in preventing relapse and help fight opioid dependency altogether. Naltrexone and buprenorphine have other favorable pharmacologic properties and are well-tolerated by most. They are part of a harm reduction strategy and are extremely helpful adjunct to comprehensive treatment of opioid dependency.You can overcome your opioid dependency by taking the first step and seeking help. Effective treatment options vary from person to person, so start by talking to a psychiatrist or therapist and learn what works best for you.

What To Do If Someone Is Overdosing

Some common signs/symptoms of opiate overdose are pinpoint pupils, unconsciousness, and respiratory depression. What can you do if you, a friend, or loved one is experiencing an overdose? Act Fast. Call 911 and administer the antidote for opiates called naloxone (Narcan). It is similar to an EpiPen and can save a life. Do not hesitate to call 911 for help because you are worried about getting in trouble. You could end up saving someone’s life. A recent survey in the US found that the distribution of approximately 50000 naloxone kits through local opioid overdose prevention programs had resulted in more than 10000 uses to reverse overdoses[6].

Mental health awareness grows every day, especially when celebrities speak out publicly. Last week, Lady Gaga and Prince William shared a conversation about mental health on YouTube. Lady Gaga shares her personal story about mental health personally affecting her life. In her open letter, Gaga describes the struggle of living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

She expressed feeling ashamed to open-up about struggling with mental health because she is wildly successful, has the love of her friends and family, and lives a life of luxury. It seemed as if she should have no excuse to complain about her life when other people struggle to find a place to sleep or their next meal.

As Prince William stated, Lady Gaga’s open letter is a good example of the attitude we need take towards mental health. No one should keep the pain to themselves and feel alone.

Everyone deals with mental health, as they do with physical health. When we break our bones, we seek treatment as fast as we can. We know that masking the pain with drugs works temporarily, but it doesn’t do anything to fix the problem at hand. The longer we go without treating that broken bone, the worse the break is going to be. Then everyday tasks that were not given a second thought eventually become a struggle to complete. At a certain point, the pain is so agonizing that we begin to lose motivation to do any of those everyday things like get out of bed.

The same goes for mental health; the longer we wait to open up to someone, the harder it becomes. No one, not even the rich and famous, is immune to the issues that challenge our well-being such as depression, anxiety, stress, etc. Do not be afraid to share with friends and family how you actually feel and seek the treatment you may need. Sometimes, the best medicine in the world is words of encouragement that help people who feel ashamed of an invisible illness to overcome their shame and feel free.

With her memoir set for publication on Tuesday, retired U.S. women’s soccer star Abby Wambach is opening up about her years of substance abuse. In an interview with the Associated Press, she said her arrest on a DUI charge in April served as a wake-up call.

“I was stubborn and I was in denial,” she said. “I didn’t want to face the truth.”

Wambach was charged with DUI after police in Portland, Ore., pulled her over for running a red light in the early morning of April 3. According to the arrest records, she admitted to using marijuana and cocaine in the past. Wambach eventually pleaded guilty, entering a diversion program for first-time offenders, and posted a message on Facebook immediately following her arrest in which she took full responsibility for her actions.

Noninvasive brain stimulation is a promising therapy for a wide range of psychiatric and neurological issues, but it’s attracted the attention of a group that has some researchers worried: people who are willing to self-administer brain stimulation to boost brain function.

“As clinicians and scientists who study noninvasive brain stimulation, we share a common interest with DIY [do-it-yourself] users … to improve brain function,” wrote Michael Fox, M.D., Ph.D., associate director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and colleagues in a recent open letter in the Annals of Neurology. “However … there is much about noninvasive brain stimulation in general, and tDCS [transcranial direct current stimulation] in particular, that remains unknown.”

We often wonder if there are things that we are doing in our daily routine that actually increase our feelings of depression and anxiety. We also wonder if there are simple changes that we can make in our lives to decrease these feelings and provide us some relief. There are indeed things that we don’t think twice about during our day that add to our feelings of depression and anxiety, as well as unassuming changes that we can make in our lives, without much effort, to help reduce these feelings. We will discuss both below. We will talk over the things that increase depressive and anxious feelings while discussing what we can do about them. The changes will likely be far simpler than you have ever thought.

New findings suggest that most Americans with depression receive no treatment, while raising the possibility that overtreatment of depression is also widespread. Less than a third of American adults who screened positive for depression received treatment for their symptoms, whereas over two-thirds of adults receiving treatment for depression did not report symptoms of depression or serious psychological distress, according to a study from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) and the University of Pennsylvania.

Thee were a new option for retires who liked the concept of being able to “own an apartment”. After the condo boom in Florida was successful, developments made their way up the east coast and throughout the country. Today, if you take a ride around any town you will see a number of condos for sale in CT that have been built in varying styles, sizes, price points and demographics.

35 Reasons Moving to Connecticut is an AWESOME Idea!

To start, I figured I would let you know that I am someone who has lived in Connecticut most of my life and I am proud of my home state. I have also lived in a few other places such as Texas, North Carolina (and a couple places I’d rather not go back to in the Middle East) while I was in the Air Force. After my enlistment ended, I decided that moving to Connecticut was best for me because I felt that this was where I wanted to call home again.

Now that I have a family of my own, I understand that it’s important to live in a state that I feel will be the best choice for their long term success. I could move to any state I want, but I choose to live in Connecticut because I really do feel that this is a great place to raise a family. After all, geographically we are located directly in between two major cities, Boston and New York, with excellent transportation options close by such as highways, railroads and multiple international airports. In addition, each Connecticut town and city is uniquely charming with highly desirable classic New England characteristics. Also, being a coastal state we have excellent beaches and direct waterfront property for residences, personal enjoyment and commercial operations.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m perfectly aware that Connecticut has it’s share of challenges that it is facing right now. However, it’s impossible to ignore all the positive qualities that we have available to us as residents of CT. I decided to write the article because of all the attention lately is focused on the negative aspects of living here and all the positive is constantly being overlooked. Connecticut can and will become highly desirable and sought after again and now is a great time to live here because home affordability is at it’s best level in a long time. Below are the 35 reasons that I feel make moving to Connecticut and living in Connecticut an AWESOME idea!

What is Home Depot’s Project Color App and Why Would You Use It?

Both Connecticut home buyers and home sellers will agree, the number one answer to what is the best home improvement project to perform is painting the walls with a fresh coat of paint.

Big Girl

Claire has hit many developmental milestones in the past week and mommy and daddy are VERY proud.  She's been able to pick up her head for awhile, but now she can hold it up long enough for us to snap a picture.  Claire can now track objects with her eyes and gets excited to see her baby keys and rattles.

 This morning was very exciting in the Bowlby house. .  .Claire laughed!  It was so sweet to see our little girl laugh in her bouncy seat as daddy batted her animals at her ,and then when mommy laughed because Claire was spilling milk out of her mouth.   I know it is only going to get better from here!

Angry young man

1. I met my little nephew. He really is little, the smallest baby I have ever seen in real life. He's been back in hospital because he's having trouble regaining his birth weight, which was only 6lbs 11oz anyway, so he's absolutely tiny. When he's angry, which is a lot of the time, he looks like an animatronic goblin, and when he's not angry he looks a bit like William Hague. He gets particularly annoyed when anyone tries to feed him. He very rarely opens his eyes, and then usually only one at a time to have a cautious look at us, before closing them firmly again. I have a lot of sympathy with him, and actually he wasn't due until tomorrow. He does at least appear to appreciate effort -- while I was looking after him he went into an arch-backed purple-faced tantrum pulling faces as if the worst thing ever was happening to him, and in panic I tried a rendition of the Frog Chorus, at which he settled back to sleep; this was distinctly generous of him. Hopefully it's all just indigestion, poor soul.

2. My mother is reacting in a very typical way to grandmotherhood, essentially by turning the full beam of her mind's energies onto worrying about it. My brother told me that when they told her back in the spring that she was going to be a grandmother her immediate reaction was "what shall we do about the pond?", rather than the more conventional joy. The next day she went out and bought lots of those plastic things you put into unused electric sockets, so that now whenever we want to plug anything in first we have to prise one of these devices out with our fingernails. The other day she gave my father a stern talking to, really a telling off, that he should never eat berries in front of his grandson. She told me that it's nonsense that grandchildren are better than children, because now she has to worry not just about her grandson but about how my brother and his wife are coping with him, and about whether they're being made miserable by worrying about him too.

3. Actually I remember it did make me very unhappy as a child that, although I knew that you shouldn't eat any berries you found in the wild, on autumnal walks with my father he would insist on eating pretty much all the berries he came across, including ones which I knew very well to be poisonous, like rose hips and yew berries. He said it was OK because he was careful to spit out the poisonous pips, but I didn't see how he could be sure that he wouldn't miss one, and then he would die. Hopefully my nephew will get a useful balance to this sort of thing from his mother's family, who all seem pretty sane.

Learned, fat, and red: part I

I've been meaning to post for ages about Bologna. I do miss it a bit, though mostly for the food. The title of the post is because Bologna is renowned for being learned, fat, and red: learned because of the university, the oldest in the West; fat because of its wonderful food; and red partly for the bricks it's built from, but also because it's famously socialist/communist.
Why go to Bologna?
1. Because it is a very nice city. It may not match up to Venice in the amazingness stakes, and I suppose Florence has more obvious things, but it has a very major advantage over those two places in that it is not packed full of tourists. It has far fewer tourists than Cambridge, for example, and at least as much nice stuff to look at. In Venice and Florence you have to book everything you want to see in advance, but there is nothing that needs booking in Bologna. You can get a seat outside at one of the cafes under the portici of beautiful Piazza S. Stefano with no trouble no matter what the weather; your competition will not be other foreigners but Italians. (Probably some will be having graduaton parties, wearing the Dante-style laurel leaf of the laureate.)
2. Also, it is the major railway hub for the north of Italy so a very good place to go to on the way from one city to another.
3. Plus even in Italy people think the food of Emilia Romagna is something pretty special.
What to do there
1. Eat good stuff. Parma ham and Parmigiano cheese are from nearby Parma (nice town) but Bologna is famous for doing things with them. In particular tortellini. (Tortelloni are the bigger ones, usually with vegetarian filling.) I saw a recipe for old-style Bolognese tortellini that had five or six different local meats in the filling. One was mortadella, for which Bologna is famous; it's pleasant enough but not as good as much other Bolognese food. (It's where the term 'baloney' comes from.) It's essentially luncheon meat, or what my mother always called boiled baby, though it's a high-class garlicky boiled baby. You won't find spaghetti Bolognese, but you will get tagliatelle al ragu, which is the closest thing, and very good.
2. Admire the portici. The story goes that townspeople wanted to get in on the lucrative student room-rentals market but didn't have a room to spare, so they would build one onto the first floor over the road, leaving the space beneath as a covered walkway with arches separating it from the traffic. This is now the official Bolognese style of architecture, and it's not only attractive but a real blessing when the sun is very hot or when it's raining. Plus the pavements beneath the portici are usually a little higher than the road so it makes busy streets more pleasant to walk down. In the sixteenth or seventeenth century the Bolognese went slightly mad and decided to build portici all the way out to San Luca, a round church built on a hill outside Bologna. There are 666 portici from the city gate, and twice a year the communist citizens go up there and bring an image of the virgin all the way down into the city. The sanctuary of San Luca is not that exciting inside, but if you get a bus out it's a lovely walk back down into the city. The walk out I would not recommend; in places it's essentially as steep as a staircase, and you feel it in your calves just from walking down.
3. Have lunch at Tamburini's. This is right in the middle of the city, about half-way between the two towers and the main square. It's essentially a delicatessen but at lunch-time it serves its own produce in a canteen style. Hopefully they'll have tortellini on and you can get a great plate for about six euros. Otherwise you can buy raw tortellini to cook yourself; this is where my Bolognese friend buys pasta when she has a dinner party.
4. Have lunch or dinner at Fantoni's on via del Pratello. This has apparently been just the same since the fifties. The roasted vegetables are always fantastic. A Bolognese friend told me that this is an excellent place for a) horse and b) zuppa inglese (literally "English soup", a type of trifle). I know it's a tad wet of me but I have counted horses as friends and I don't feel up to eating them; and I never tried the plain zuppa inglese either. (I did have some orange zuppa inglese somewhere not long before I left, and it was amazing.) This was partly because when I was lecturing on codicology years ago Melvin the lovely conservation man lent me a lot of props to make things more interesting for the youth. The one he was really emphatic about needing back intact was a little plastic bag full of costly imported kermes, the shells of insects which were used to dye alum-tawed skins pink for medieval bindings -- some of those bindings still survive on Bury books, for example, and I handled some while working on my PhD. Apparently the red liqueur used to make zuppa inglese comes from the very same insects, and this rather put me off it as a dessert. (See the wikipedia entry here which explains that the liqueur declined in popularity when people began to realise what it was made of.)
5. Also Tony's has very good, old-style cheap excellent food; popular with the Bolognese. It's on Via Righi, very close to the corner with Via dell'Independenza.
6. You have to do aperitivo. This was explained to me by locals as a very Bolognese thing, but other Italian cities seem to do something similar, like cicchetti in Venice. It comes down to the attitude to food whereby people will happily spend all day at work and all evening on the evening meal, which might explain why their TV is so bad. (They really take food seriously; if you want to make someone from Bologna cry try telling them how you cook spaghetti.) In the evening, at a time too early to start your full evening meal of antipasti, primi, secondi and dolci -- say 7.30 - 8.30 -- the bars all put out buffets of little bits and pieces to eat with your drinks. Some of these are really substantial and could easily stand in for your whole meal. They may charge a minimum for drinks in this period, e.g. when I first arrived and didn't know about the aperitivo tradition I was surprised that I couldn't get a half pint of beer at 7.30 in an Irish pub one time but had to buy a whole pint. (It was a carefully reconstructed "Irish" pub with wall tat placed inside a Renaissance building with frescoed vaulted ceilings.) In my last week there I went to Boa Vista in Via Cesare Battisti, which had really good stuff. It had a very dark black-and-mirrors decor and was playing electro music very loud, in a way which was so 80s and incredibly dated that it seemed really stylish for not caring that even 80s revival is now passé. Eddie Izzard used to do a very good routine about the progression "quite cool, cool, very cool, extremely cool, looking like an idiot" but I don't think that really holds in Italy; it doesn't seem like there's a sense that you can go Too Far. In some ways this is admirable and rather fun, though all those flamboyant young Italian men are a bit disconcerting. Anyway, I thought Boa Vista was great, and just the sort of thing that seemed the epitome of coolness when I was 13, but I'm not sure my companion liked it so much. Then we went on to Tamburini again, which turned out to be just as good in the evening as at lunchtime. Here the food isn't free but an amazing plate of sliced meats and such was only ten euros and the drinks were much cheaper. We ate all the meats even though we were already full from Boa Vista. The problem with aperitivo is that you're unlikely to want dinner as well, and it's a shame to waste a dining opportunity in Bologna if you're not there for long. Still you really should make time. One of the first things my flatmate Federica said to me when I moved in, looking at me very gravely, was "Sai il modo di Bologna?". Aperitivo is the mode of Bologna.
7. Gelati! Where to start? Where to end is also difficult. When the Parker people came out to visit me we were having four or five a day. The only not-excellent icecream I had in my whole time in Italy was at Pisa. (Pisa is a bit of a mess. It has three fantastic things to look at, all close together, and the area around them is filled with tat-selling stalls of a nature that even Rome cannot match. It's a sort of tourist black hole in an otherwise unremarkable Italian town. Walk a few hundred yards away and you're OK, but we went for icecream too close to the tower because we really wanted some.) Still Italians are able to distinguish gradations in icecream quality which escape me, and the two top places in Bologna are Gianni's, which has several outlets but with a particularly famous one just by the two towers, and the Sorbetteria Castiglione on Via Castiglione, not far from the Dominican church. Gianni's is lighthearted and has flavours called things like "Where is Gianni?" or "Beast in the City" (which is chocolate based, and which the Gaylord Donnelly librarian helpfully compared to dog poo -- there are a lot of dogs in Bologna, and therefore quite a lot of dog poo). Their pistachio is truly fantastic. The Sorbetteria Castiglione is a bit more serious, and has leaflets telling you the nutritional values of all its products, which seems to me to be spoiling the fun a bit, but I get the impression that it's the top one for the locals. Walking towards it either way at any time (I first went with some Bolognese friends on a very cold day in February) the streets are full of people eating icecream walking the other way.

I think that's most of the eating things. At some point I will try to get round to posting about the art. There are some fantastic art things to see and I have notes on them somewhere.

I had an eye test and apparently I now have to wear glasses when I use the computer. I already have to wear special gloves, called SmartGlovesTM, to keep my RSI under check. I am gradually turning into bionic computer woman. Eventually I will probably just have some complex body-fitting terminal which I just have to slot myself into before computer use -- maybe a bit like those excellent fork-lift body suit things in one of the Alien films. I love the interweb, but, is it worth it? I found it remarkably hard not to choose comedy glasses; there were some excellent pointy pink ones, but in the end I forced myself to go for bland frames since they're a pretty expensive purchase.

When I finished my PhD my mother told me that if I hadn't ruined my eyesight I hadn't been doing it properly, and paid for me to have an eye test then. It turned out I was only a little long-sighted at the time, but I think it was probably my hard work in Bologna which tipped me over the edge -- squinting not just at a computer screen in the usual way but also at online maps, looking for things which might be the remains of ancient lynchets and gores. I should have spent more time eating tortellini and pistacchio gelato.

I found myself surprisingly anxious before my eye test, and I think it's that word test, which still takes me back to school anxiety. Deep down I knew I would fail the eye test because I hadn't tried hard enough. It seems odd to me in retrospect how much pressure I used to feel about these things, because it certainly wasn't peer pressure -- I went to quite an academic school but it still wasn't good to be too much of a swot -- and it certainly wasn't parental pressure either. My parents always wanted me to be kind and honest -- which is asking a lot, it's true -- and school results came under the broad heading of honesty, in that they were things you shouldn't try to duck out of, but not things that mattered in themselves. They generally found it funny when I did well at school. I remember getting 100% in the easier of the two GCSE mock maths papers, and excitedly telling my father, who said "what, left no room for improvement?". I thought this was funny at the time, and still do, but he told a group of people about it at a seminar on Christian parenting and got utterly evil looks as if he'd confessed to some form of child abuse. I suppose they thought he should have affirmed my achievement by saying "I'm proud of you daughter and I love you!" and I would have said "I love you too pa!" and then we'd have hugged and recorded my results to send out in the annual Christmas letter, the fools. So anyway the pressure I put on myself to do well at school must have come from somewhere else. I think maybe I invented it in my brain. Or maybe it's that invidious desire to be honest, which can mean so many things. One of the excellent people of the college here taught me that if a thing's worth doing it's worth doing adequately, which is a seriously good piece of advice. How many things are really worth doing well?

Hurray for aunts!

I have a nephew! He arrived a fortnight early, on Sunday, sensibly avoiding the whole thing about having a birthday immediately adjacent to Christmas.

Some music stuff

1. I love this La Roux song:

Here is her myspace.

2. I don't usually watch the X Factor but I've seen a couple of episodes of this series. So I'm a bit puzzled to find out that Simon Cowell has chosen Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah as the winner's song. I only really know the classic Jeff Buckley version:

But if cherub-faced 16-year-old Eoghan Quigg sang it and all his granny fans bought it thinking it was some kind of religiousy Christmas thing and then found out it was a slightly tormented song about sex, wouldn't the Daily Mail have to start a petition? Can we start one in advance to stop this? I don't think any of the contestants are capable of not massacring it. Apparently Diana sang it in some earlier round, drawing praise from Louis Walsh, but after whatsername from the Cranberries I think we've had all the cracky squeaky-voiced singers we can sustain. The Cranberries did one good song:

3. I was going to embed the video to the Girls Aloud single written by the Pet Shop Boys but it wasn't that interesting, so here is Pet Shop Boys' extended mix of Here. It seems like quite a Christmas-y song to me, with it's "you've got a home here" message.

Seeing through glassesI’ve been reading a good book called The Penguin and the Leviathan, by Yochai Benkler. The basic premise of the book is that our social, political, and economic systems have been based for far too long on a competitive, “survival of the fittest” framework that may now hurt humanity more than it helps us. Drawing on both a variety of scientific studies and new trends in global communications, Benkler argues that, some selfish individuals aside, humans are also wired for cooperation, collaboration, and making moral choices that benefit others. He further says societies that encourage “cooperative practices will be more successful and likely to survive, especially in a challenging environment, than those that do not.”

Benkler isn’t naïve about human nature, per se, and claims that a large minority of people (about 30 percent) exhibit selfish behaviors. And, which one of us isn’t selfish at times? But, the data also shows that “fully half of all people systematically, significantly, and predictably behave cooperatively.” Benkler’s position is reiterated in the work of other researchers, such as William Ury, whose book The Third Side is based on the premise that fighting isn’t an inevitable part of human nature. Steven Pinker from Harvard also attracted a lot of attention with his recent publication — and New York Times bestseller — The Better Angels of Our Nature. The book chronicles downward trends in violence from an historical perspective and questions myths about humankind’s inherent violence. All of these authors point out that civilization’s great advances came from working together. As a statement from the Baha’i tradition adds:

It is certain that the greatest of instrumentalities for achieving the advancement and the glory of man, the supreme agency for the enlightenment and the redemption of the world, is love and fellowship and unity among all the members of the human race. Nothing can be affected in the world, not even conceivably, without unity and agreement… Abdu’l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 73.

Four hands reaching for coinWe can forget this fundamental truth when the systems of our modern world, and the media we listen to, tends to operate from the divisive perspective that human nature is self-interested and aggressive. Think for a minute about how that fundamental understanding has affected every institution of our modern society. Even the peace and conflict resolution field starts from a conflict-centered paradigm. But, what if that lens is wrong, or, at least, only partially right?

A statement released by the international governing body of the Baha’i Faith in the 1980’s is fairly straightforward about how an overly dark view of human nature has been allowed to impact our global consciousness:

So much have aggression and conflict come to characterize our social, economic and religious systems, that many have succumbed to the view that such behavior is intrinsic to human nature and therefore ineradicable. With the entrenchment of this view, a paralyzing contradiction has developed in human affairs. On the one hand, people of all nations proclaim not only their readiness but their longing for peace and harmony, for an end to the harrowing apprehensions tormenting their daily lives. On the other, uncritical assent is given to the proposition that human beings are incorrigibly selfish and aggressive and thus incapable of erecting a social system at once progressive and peaceful, dynamic and harmonious, a system giving free play to individual creativity and initiative but based on cooperation and reciprocity. As the need for peace becomes more urgent, this fundamental contradiction, which hinders its realization, demands a reassessment of the assumptions upon which the commonly held view of mankind’s historical predicament is based. Dispassionately examined, the evidence reveals that such conduct, far from expressing man’s true self, represents a distortion of the human spirit. Universal House of Justice, The Promise of World Peace.

The Baha’i writings emphasize each person’s nobility and capacity for selflessness, and the power of unity and cooperation to effect change. Baha’is recognize humankind’s potential for evil and injustice, but also exalt our capacity for altruism, moral transcendence and cooperation. The Baha’i writings clearly point out that each person has two natures: a spiritual or higher nature and a material or lower nature:

Signs of both these natures are to be found in men. In his material aspect he expresses untruth, cruelty and injustice; all these are the outcome of his lower nature. The attributes of his Divine nature are shown forth in love, mercy, kindness, truth and justice, one and all being expressions of his higher nature. Every good habit, every noble quality belongs to man’s spiritual nature, whereas all his imperfections and sinful actions are born of his material nature. – Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 60.

Most contemporary discourse on human nature does not take this spiritual dimension into account — but Baha’is see human nature in a broader context. The lens through which one sees the world shapes the attitudes, behaviors, policies, and institutions that unfold from that understanding. We have little to lose and much to gain by trying on some different glasses.

    When Baha'is speak of "elevating conversations", this is one of the most important conceptual areas in which to do it. Thanks to Ms. Caldwell,(and to the writers she cites) for helping give us fuel to challenge the doctrine of "original competitiveness", "original conflict". If war and aggression really were the norm, how would we have gotten so much DONE? Civilizations built, inventions made, songs composed, unions formed, families and tribes and communities nurtured? The tragic *destruction* of all these civilizing influences, of course, makes for better television. There's an argument that our inborn eagerness for story-telling may predispose us toward ...all the things that happen "suddenly": unpredictably, and with instantly dramatic consequences. Fire. Flood. War. Fistfights. Words that can't be taken back. The media are storytellers, and they have a lot to do with the stubbornness of Original Aggression. Even here, though, there's another side: tragic news reporting may also reflect our basic decency, in a way, our horror at the bad things that can happen to other people and our (sometimes impotent) feeling that it isn't right. This, too, makes it "newsworthy".
    I've recently re-read the House of Justice's Peace Message that Ms. Caldwell quotes above, and what a brilliant statement it is. They have capsulized this, and many other of the challenges we face in lifting our talk and improving our walk. Confirmations abound in that document, nearly 30 years old (I think) and as useful and challenging as it ever was. More.

House & home improvementThere are 110 Michigan Representatives who’re elected by the qualified electors of districts having approximately seventy seven,000 to 91,000 residents. Hello. I live in a small condo which actually lacks air flow, given it’s so cold outside it isn’t very viable to easily have the home windows open and as my Landlord (I rent this condominium privately) refuses to pay the prices of running a dehumidifier (I simply can’t afford to do this, and would rather not anyway since I would hear it always) I’m undecided what I can do.

Working environment in office comes when there are appropriate interiors and dwelling environment in a home comes from serene and cozy house like environment. The Democratic Social gathering will at all times be my house, and whether folks like it or not, I’m all the time going to remain a centrist. We have up to date the Google Maps that chart the places, along with a wee bit of history, of every home and constructing we now have researched.

Additionally, my husband is now back in his authentic enterprise however his commute/travel expenses are $3,000 a month as a result of that business is 4 hours from our present home. Because it stands now, the two houses that sit on this lot look dilapidated but the hire circulate is satisfactory.

House & home improvementI don’t wish to spend one second worrying about issues at home while I’m on trip – not about the home, my dog, my vegetation, whether I left an equipment turned on that I shouldn’t have, or if a invoice will be late if not paid earlier than I get again. Nevertheless (and I regret this now) I burnt it before I went to Spain, as I apprehensive my dad and mom would possibly find it and a number of the stuff I would written in it was loopy once I re-learn it. Want I had saved it now – each single rave, club and party was nicely documented, as a substitute of the reasonably hazy memories I’ve now.

After World War II, the housing demand and the GI Invoice’s dwelling loan program inspired large scale row house building in the suburbs in places like Loch Raven Village and Edmonson Avenue.

House & home improvementActress Brittany Murphy (King of the Hill, Clueless, eight Mile) died immediately and surprisingly in her house in the hills above the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, CA in December of 2009. The temperature inside the home doesn’t must be as cozy as it is perhaps when you’re dwelling. Sadly, you want the financial institution’s cooperation to do it. Once you sell your home in a short sale, the bank agrees to accept the quantity that the home is selling for as full payment on the mortgage. Some banks won’t do short gross sales in any respect, and those that do will make you soar by means of a number of hoops and fill out tons of paperwork to get the sale authorized. The paper work that was misplaced and the inexperienced representatives that did not care much of your scenario were very irritating to take care of.
