One of the best things that ever happened to me was failing to accomplish a goal. My mother pushed her children to pursue music because it was a big part of her past; her mother was an opera singer in Europe. She got us into music by having us participate in school band. I started playing French Horn in the seventh grade, and continued practicing through high school, with increasing intensity, preparing for a music career. I was pretty good at playing the horn. Midway through my senior year, I participated in All-State Band tryouts, a litmus test I set for myself, to see if I was good enough. I didn’t make All-State Band. Fortunately I wasn’t good enough.

There’s a danger at being good at something. Yet that’s what we focus on when deciding careers. We ask “What do I want to do?” and then look at what we’re good at to answer that question. But this question is wrong in many ways. It leads to unconscious striving for what is comfortable so we can cope with life’s struggles.

A student of the famous German poet Rainer Rilke was confused about whether he should continue with his studies to become a writer. Rilke told him, “Write only if you have to.” It sounds like Rilke is telling him to search for anything besides writing, and if he can’t find anything, then choose the less desirable option of writing. What he’s really saying is write only if you feel you’d die if you didn’t write. In other words, writing is such an integral part of who you are that, if you didn’t write, your life would be meaningless and lack purpose.

When I didn’t make All-State Band, I was in a state of divine discontent. Up to that point, all of my attention was consumed with moving toward my goal of a career in music. I had tunnel vision. An interesting thing happens, though, when we fail to reach a goal. We become disillusioned. “Disillusioned” means we become free from illusion. When we become disillusioned, our attention broadens to include other opportunities open to us. For me, I noticed more people in my high school classes that were not in music. One person, Steve who sat next to me in English class, started a conversation with me. He was a climber and invited me to go climbing. Being disillusioned, I was open to doing something new, so I went with him.

I was excited about climbing the first day I experienced it. No one forced me or suggested I needed to create a career in climbing. I didn’t think about careers. I was just excited to climb. I couldn’t logically explain it. I didn’t have to ask “Should I a climb?” as Rilke’s student did. I climbed because I had to.

“What do I want to do?” is passive and receiving oriented. It’s also a logical process that causes us to make justifications and come up with reasons to support our decision. Those reasons will tend to be motivated by comfort. This approach focuses on what’s external to us, things we want to get to make our lives comfortable. Being good at something is dangerous because it builds confidence, that we then rely on, to justify our earlier decision. Being good at playing my horn gave me confidence that I’d made the correct decision to pursue music. It feeds on itself until the reality of not being good enough leaves us feeling like we’re living a meaningless life.

“What am I excited about?” is a more engaging question. It’s active and giving oriented. It’s also NOT logical; it’s intuitive. Knowing something intuitively doesn’t give us short concise answers. We can’t justify or come up with reasons why we want to climb; we just know at an intuitive level that we want to do it. That excitement isn’t motivated by comfort; it’s motivated by engagement, which is stressful. We aren’t just coping with life’s struggles; we’re actively engaging them with our whole being.

“What excites me?” is framed in feelings that are internal to us. We’re not climbing because we’re good at it, and we’re not dependent on being good to give us confidence to continue climbing. Our confidence comes from an unexplainable desire to climb. It’s something that pours out of us, needing expression. The danger of following something we’re excited about is that it’s insecure, rife with stress, with no logical reasons supporting why we should do it. Yet the insecurity will resolve itself as we engage the activity. Stress becomes raw material that gives our lives purpose and meaning. And who cares about the reasons anyway? Why should we have to explain why we want to do something?

“What excites me?” puts us in the middle of stress. We want to be there because that’s where the excitement is. We’re content with the ups and down, the happiness and sadness, because it’s all part of the process. This deep engagement draws out our essence and requires us to give our unique gifts to the world. “What excites me?” gives us meaning and purpose.

What’s paradoxical is that we’ll be good at climbing as a result of being excited about it, because it causes us to take action. Taking action is what’s necessary for becoming good. We don’t focus on being good, to become good. We focus on doing what excites us and become good as a result of our deep engagement in the activity.

    Arno – thanks for this message. I’m at a crossroads in my work and need to hear this insight. It is true that I never, ever question why I climb. I climb because it challenges me like nothing I’ve ever done.

  2. Thomas Beck

    I think today’s e-lesson concise and insightful. Certainly similar to some of my life experiences.;”Taking action” being the key.

  3. EB

    I like this e-lesson. I also had a similar childhood experience. I was focused so hard on becoming a pilot, but then learned in college that I am partially color blind, making it impossible for me to fly for the US military. My life would have been completely different, but this shift in focus has opened my mind and life up in a completely different way. I agree, it really all comes down to “taking action” and really putting the nose to the grind stone to make what you are passionate about be a part of your life.

  4. Miguel Gallardo

    It was the same for me. I was obsessed with a promotion in what I was good at. But that didn’t happenned. So, instead of being disapointed I felt relieved. Now I am pursuing a complete different line of working. And I feel freer than I was before -and much less safe-, even though the perspectives now are not so good as they were back then. But now I ask myself, does this excite me? And of course it does. Now I’m out of my confort zone. And I really feel where the excitement is now. I’m “Taking action”.

  5. isabel

    Wonderful insight… thank you so much. I have finally surrendered to my passion for dance and I have learned to trust that our passions lead the way.

  6. Brian u

    As an artist who is not making much money some times I feel like a fool painting when I’m the only one who is all excited in the way the pigment is used to reflect light and the feeling of limitation in using pigments to illistrate light but when it works I don’t care about money it’s the work that’s important and this article speaks to that point it’s the work for the joy of itself that is what brings it value to me. My creativity is a reflection of a higher intelegence that also makes snow flakes and that makes me smile

  7. RJ

    Excellent points, Arno! I’ll definitely be using this in my presentation to woodcarvers in New Zealand in a couple of weeks. Your last sentence is perfect. I never thought of myself becoming a rock climber or a teacher, but I have pursued both merely because they were exciting. As I experienced success, I became more excited and more invested in the work, despite the discomforts or difficulties. We end up pushing ourselves to a level beyond where we had ever imagined because we get lost in the excitement of the activity, whether at work or at play. Perhaps that’s why I like climbers so much – we’re always pushing ourselves to greater heights, never satisfied with the status quo. We’re not lazy or boring, that’s for sure.

    it inspires me to hear all your comments. if these elessons help us all make connections beyond our current understanding of reality…then i’m pleased.

ex-OSA staffmember works to reform the subject of Scientology

What Was It Really, that Took Apart My Family?

It was a sad day in December 2012 when I realized that the founder of my “religion” of 18 years was in reality, also the architect of the break-up of my family.  That L. Ron Hubbard, himself, was the engineer of the policies we were expected to follow…

I began to write this post in December of 2012, the month that I was in Costa Rica retrieving what was left of my possessions from where I had lived for 8 years, having already sold or got rid of most of what I had owned in order to relocate there in 2004 to be with my new wife.  At that time I had even cashed out my teacher retirement in order to donate thousands of dollars to the church.

I am posting this now – one whole year later – having finally gotten up the courage to do so.  (No one can say that I did not take the time to confirm the actual truth of the matter.)

As an admirer of an effective technology developed under his direction, I had been a devoted follower of L. Ron Hubbard for 19 years when I finally had this realization.

Knowing that I could be offending a lot of people who still think as I once did – that Hubbard was a “saint” beyond reproach – I long held my tongue.

No more.

It was a sad day for me in December of 2012 that my wife of 8 years – (both of us were Scientologists) – was forced to cut off all communication between us, and even with her two sons (even though one was not a Scientologist and wanted to stay in contact with me) in order for her to remain “in good standing” and continue participating in services.  All of them had been my family for 7 years – through good times and bad.  It was then that she finally completed the process required of her by the church, known as “DISCONNECTION.”

I had been a volunteer missionary who worked to defend the church (mission) there, using my time and at my own expense, with very little compensation ever received.  I spent the prime of my life doing this.

But because I could no longer shut my eyes to the corrupt side of L. Ron Hubbard’s $cientology, I lost everything I had worked for there.

For the past 30 years, $cientology has been run by government-sanctioned mafioso, David Miscavige – a brash and ruthless punk, hand-picked by L. Ron Hubbard himself (well before his death in January 1986) to hire the very best IRS-connected attorneys and re-organize $cientology to “make money… and… make more money…

On Hubbard’s orders, Miscavige went through all torturous tricks of criminal evasion in order to not lose any of that money to the government tax authority – the IRS.  Miscavige was simply at first, carrying out the orders and advices of his mentor, L. Ron Hubbard – but also with his own secret designs beginning to emerge, for assuming power and total control of the religion and its followers.

All this was furthered by a long pattern of religious cloaking which helped to conceal their criminal acts – not only those actions ordered by them against those whom they designated “enemies,” but ongoing criminal acts of inurement (misappropriation of donations violating “non-profit” status) and fraud carried out against their own parishioners.

Despite the fact that David Miscavige took this criminality sanctioned by “religious doctrine” to new extremes, it should be pointed out that it was L. Ron Hubbard who designed, implemented and maintained almost every aspect, rule and policy of the religious group/cult known as $cientology as still practiced in its international organization today.

I lost my family to Hubbard’s cruel, anti-family and anti-life policy known as “Disconnection” which was instituted to protect his monopoly – something he’d once warned against ever happening in Scientology (see an unedited version of the Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture #20).

I also discovered then in December 2012 – at the same time I was losing my family – that sometime back in 1983, L. Ron Hubbard ordered a policy letter written up that re-instated ‘Disconnection’ as official policy for the $cientology religion, knowing full well the trouble it had brought him with governments in the late 1960’s, when he’d officially canceled the policy, and even promised a government in an official letter that:

 “the Board of Directors of the Church of Scientology …have no intention of re-introducing this policy”

“I can see no reason why this policy should ever be re-introduced, as an extensive survey in the English speaking countries found that this practice was not acceptable.” – LRH

(These quotes are from a letter sent to “The Commission of Enquiry into Scientology in New Zealand” on 26 Mar ’69 by  L. Ron Hubbard.)

L. Ron Hubbard LIED!

(Not to mention this was going back on the written “Code of REFORM” – from August 1968, that led to the decision for “Cancellation of disconnection as a relief to those suffering from familial suppression.”)

Now, before anyone says that story of the ‘Disconnection’ policy reinstatement is a flimsy basis for pointing at the founder of Scientology, Mr. L. Ron Hubbard himself – for knowingly and willingly breaking up families – like mine – in order to create and maintain an insular cult that he would financially benefit from, I have something to share that makes any challenge to that ‘Disconnection’ reinstatement story, completely unnecessary.

The fact is that completely apart from the revelation by former leaders of the church who had witnessed the official re-instatement of ‘Disconnection’ came from Hubbard himself, I also came to realize in the course of my researches, that Mr. Hubbard himself knowingly and willingly assigned a pregnant woman to the Rehabilitation Project Force, a rather cruel act – and that years earlier he had built his Sea Organization and firmed up his authoritarian command of it by instituting cruel punishments like “overboarding” ministers-in-training (including elderly women trainees) and according to an account written by Alan Walter, forcing a man to push a peanut across a ship’s deck with nose skin bleeding and his wife and kids crying – who had to stand by watching in humiliation (note that there are different accounts that vary from this story told by David Mayo).

Add to all that multiple reports of assigning a 4-yr-old boy to 4 days and nights in the cold, terrifying chain locker of his Apollo ship.  (Some reports allege more than one child so assigned – again, as young as four years of age.)

You see, sometime before this ‘Disconnection’ hit me full force, I took a new look through an L. Ron Hubbard book entitled “Scientology Ethics” and at its origins in 1965 Ethics policies, and I finally reached the inevitable conclusion that more and more people alienated from their loved ones by the continued mis-use of ‘Disconnection,’ are bound to reach:

  • that L. Ron Hubbard, himself – genius that he was – by these actions and in a long-term failure to come clean, nevertheless undid a whole lot of the good he had once done for people in developing a highly workable technology for “helping people help each other”
  •  that in 1965 he developed policies, rules and restrictions that – taken as a whole – virtually guarantee that  people will be attacked unjustly, cruelly denied help in time of greatest need, and covertly guided into disconnecting from their own friends and family, in order to maintain their “good standing” in his church
  • that his 1965 actions and “ethics” policies within a few years had created a paramilitary cult (very little of those policies were ever necessary to protect the actual technology, but instead were crafted to protect the power of his appointed inner cliques – hiding criminal activity and even permitting and condoning criminal activity to do so – which activity has plagued the organization ever since)

Tragically, we find that the very first set of processes (now known as the “Power Processes”) that consistently worked on nearly all persons who received them (many processes had been advertised that way, but these were the first that Hubbard recognized were actually meeting peoples expectations enough to sell with confidence at a premium) became the first of many gross violations of his representations and promises supposedly made to “all mankind” and to Scientologists in his essay entitled, “My Philosophy” – written just weeks before he sequestered these processes for highly limited use.

Power Processes were sequestered by authoritarian decree.  Rules and policies without reasonable explanation suddenly declared them, “dangerous” and “too dangerous for auditors to be trusted with them.”

So much for “planetary clearing”!

By keeping these processes from the field and asserting that they were “dangerous” in the hands of those not trained and trusted under his organization, L. Ron Hubbard squirreled away critical portions of a workable mental and spiritual technology (“Power Processing,” and “R6EW” processes to uncover “dramatization”) from mankind, in a bid to build and preserve empire and “make money and… make more money.”

He then – in that same year 1965 – developed and instituted cruel, anti-family policies to protect his planned monopoly and cover up his own crimes and his greed in squirreling away these processes that might actually have accomplished his stated objective of “clearing the planet” (getting the peoples of earth simple, effective tools they might use to overcome the effects of traumatic experiences ).  He instead insisted knowingly under false pretenses, that these new processes, discovered with the help of his Saint Hill students, must become and remain, “confidential.”

Above all, it would be vital to understand that ‘Disconnection’  – as a practice of Hubbard’s new 1965 version of $cientology – was not just a policy put into place by one Policy Letter, but was already deeply woven in with malice aforethought, throughout numerous points of an “ethics code” – comprising a “technology” of “ethics” – including technically unworkable and outright harmful “PTS” (Potential Trouble Source) restrictions on auditing (counseling therapy) anyone supposedly connected to an “enemy” a transparent effort to conflate truly psychopathic personalities with anyone he considered an “enemy” for failing to lend him the support he demanded – whether deserved or not.

In other words, a bully who abused his status as technical genius among serious students of the mind and spirit.

In the “ethics codes,” a person in Scientology who is connected to a person or group thought to be hostile to Scientology, is quickly forced to recognize that his/her future in the improvement technology of Scientology auditing actually depends as a technical fact, on demonstrating no connection remaining to whatever person or group has fallen out of favor.

If you see no actual logic to that, I congratulate you.  You probably either were not subjected to Hubbard’s pressurized indoctrination, or you too, have suffered the effects of Fair Game or Disconnection.

I well remember playing the endless game as a Public Divisions staffmember, of being presented with someone who really, truly needed help in life and was willing to do anything to get it, being turned away because somebody’s interpretation of Hubbard policy prevented it.  And at the time, I did not even think to question or blame the founder as policymaker.  No.  I rationalized it, and participated (although reluctantly most of the time) in such unnecessary injustice (factually a case of “When Help Becomes Betrayal“).

Because I found real Scientology auditing so helpful, I was blinded to the price I was expected to pay for enjoying personal improvement beyond my highest, previous expectations.

And with that realization, the only real ‘Disconnection’ that I am in need of at this time, is from Hubbard’s organization which, cloaked in religious trappings and protected by religious exemptions, is set up to “utterly ruin” its arbitrarily designated “enemies” (like me) that it creates out of those exercising the free speech and free thought promised in its trampled and neglected, “Creed of the Church” and in its rarely-displayed 1968 (Reform) “Code of a Scientologist.”

Okay, yes.  L. Ron Hubbard did also work long and hard to assemble a technology that can be put to use to help people.  When done in a safe environment, away from criminal organizations, it can and often does, work wonders.  I am not without appreciation for his work – he was demonstrably not idle or lazy in that regard.   I have no doubt that at various times in his life L. Ron Hubbard worked his heart out for the very decent purposes he said he did.

And because of that early diligence – and thanks to the tremendous efforts in getting helpful techniques explained to students of the emerging technology – knowing also that those same students repaid him with technical discoveries that helped smash his name into history – I plan to continue working to place that large portion of workable technology which resulted, into the hands of people who truly want to help.

But the facts cannot be ignored that this same person willingly destroyed these good works by selfishly indulging in abuse of power for personal gain and organizational supremacy.

Sadly, many people continue to believe that a lot of the above-mentioned and ongoing crimes were and are, justified because they have a valid stable datum that “the tech works.”   And so it is often stated in so many ways, “the ends justified the means.”

I am not only “not so sure,” about that, but looking at the actual current state of the subject?  It is a failure and a disaster except as those few who continued its practice un-harrassed but still under threat, made it work.

We are faced with the prospect of unpacking its therapeutic and helpful features in an extremely hostile environment – what with all the damage Hubbard’s policies left in their wake.

So as far as I am concerned, L. Ron Hubbard as author and engineer of this anti-family, anti-life policy – and his mafioso replacement David Miscavige, as the usurper agent of a hostile takeover of Hubbard’s organization complete with a covert, de facto mafia – craftily embedded into an organization claiming “religious protection” – can just keep all of that phony “code of ethics” nonsense…

11:44 AM Never have I thought there'd be a food or special treat out there which made me so damn happy and fulfilled. Actually the last thing that made me so happy was tasting and experimenting with taro - my life.
Then, during quarantine, something very special happened - a connection and super intense feeling I never felt before. Uh, it was a lot, but I enjoyed it beyond.
Since the days were getting longer and I wanted to procrastinate important things from my to-do list, I checked for recipes which would force me to stay in the kitchen forever. I was down - loveeee it!

I decided to go with a simple challah recipe, since it's super versatile, and honestly, who doesn't like to brag about a sexy braided challah... well, I do. Sorry not sorry. I made a lot of yeast recipes in the past, but I have to admit that the dough was imitating me too many times, being moody and not doing what it's supposed to. I guess we all have experienced it in the past... yeast not rising or the final product tasting too dry.

Do you remember my everything but the bagels challah buns which I posted a while back on OFF COLOR? I loved these buddies, but somehow they were not the highest level of sexiness... They are good, but I have to be honest here and tell you (also admit) that there's a little further we can go to have the super sexy experience of our lives. Soooo... my journey of diving deep into challah land started. I studied many recipes and found one which gave me the confidence to succeed!
A couple moments later, I found myself in my kitchen, prepared a little mis-en-place to really be prepared and took a deep breath.

Yes, I was a bit nervous, but mostly excited to shake my booty in front of my tasty smelling oven. I followed all the steps, prepared everything with high attention to detail, and enjoyed listening to my bubbling yeast.
I don't know what it is, but this kind of baking is definitely something different...

The yeasty smell was already hypnotizing me, making me think about the oceans with its quiet sizzling - it was the perfect element to cool me down and just relax. I got this, I got this.

Adding the yeast to my dough, I was thinking about my babka dilemma a while back. I was just praying that this is not a fail and I am actually good enough to bake a challah.

I'm German and my DNA is full of yeast. My mom is the queen of yeasty things and I want to be just as good as she is...yeah, the battle was on again, haha

I went through the dough with my hands which was slightly warm by now and I closed my eyes and enjoyed each and every element at this moment, even though the whole dough was sticking on and between my fingers.

A thing I really hate doing was still ahead of me, but I told my brain to chill and just go with the flow. I turned on my sonos and blasted my favorite playlist and started kneading the dough. Ughhh, I did a workout in the morning and was not in the mood to move my arms a lot... and there I was now. Keep going, yo.

After 3 minutes, the dough came super nicely together, and 5 more minutes later, I kneaded the silkiest dough I ever felt running through my fingers. Oh yessss. While I was dancing and putting all my love and last energy into this dough, I didn't realize how fast the time was passing. My de-motivation was gone, and all I felt in this moment was pure joy.

The silkier and smoother the dough got, the more heartbeats I felt. I closed my eyes and kept my hands rotating - this was one of the best meditations I ever had. Wow.

The rest felt like a smooth waltz for me. The dough was exploding in my bowl while it was rising for almost 2h and I braided a wonderful and juicy challah. It looked magical.

30 more minutes of rising and 28 minutes of baking later, I cuddled and kissed this big dough of love. I did shake my booty in my kitchen and basically sang so loud that every neighbor on my block could hear me. This is happiness.
Ohhh, and that's success as well...sweet sweet feeling!

I put the challah on my table and just starred at it and its glossy egg wash on top. I could see myself in it... I just wanted to cry, but I didn't want to disturb my zen brain.
I was at ease.
Thanks to this challah.

What a great way to enter chill zone with zero fucks and a belly full of fluffiness.
Happy Sunday, y'all!

Most people are in agreement that replacement vinyl windows are a good investment for residential property owners in Calgary and the surrounding area but some homeowners are still of the opinion that the cost of having every window replaced is prohibitive as far as the average resident is concerned. While this may well be the case if you choose to do business with some of our competitors, we are pleased to be able to inform you that Weather Pro can replace all of your windows for a very affordable price. We have been active in the area for many years and are focused on providing local residents with a cost-effective, highly efficient replacement service that is second to none, in terms of both quality and affordability.

Window Replacement for Calgary Residents Who Demand Value for Money

What we offer local homeowners is the opportunity to upgrade existing window units without spending an absolute fortune in the process. We have streamlined our business processes to minimize our overheads and we pass on the savings that we make to our clients, in the form of lower prices. However, although our windows are among the most affordable you will find, they are also among the very best on the market:

  • Fabricated in Canada – All of the units that we supply and fit are fabricated right here in Canada so you can rest assured that they are of the highest quality. Although it is our aim to provide the best value for money as far as window replacement in Calgary is concerned, we did not want to do this at the expense of quality so we only deal with locally made units.
  • Energy Star Certified – We only supply and fit windows that are energy star certified for the local climate zone. What this means to you as a local homeowner is that you can be 100% sure your new windows will provide excellent insulation against the cold weather during the winter months, thereby helping to reduce your utility bills. Windows that are not certified or are certified for a milder climate may look similar but will not provide the same level of insulation.
  • Manufactured from Quality Materials and Components – Because they are made right here in Canada, you know that your new windows have been manufactured using the best materials and components available. If you deal with a company offering window replacement in Calgary that uses products from overseas, you may save a little money on initial installation costs but you could end up having to replace your windows sooner than would otherwise be the case, owing to the inferior quality of the materials and components from which they were fabricated.

As you can see, you will not have to make any sacrifices as far as quality is concerned when you take advantage of our local services. For further information regarding our window replacement Calgary service, please feel free to call or email us whenever you have a moment to spare.

my story

Testimonials  | Media Coverage

My name is Alok Jain. I have been in the Indian stock markets for more than two and a half decades now. I am passionate about building mechanical systems/models to invest in the markets that can generate superior returns. My dream is to try help others achieve Financial Independence early so that life can be lived to the full… like it has for me.

I am a graduate from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (1991) and hold a Masters in Finance and an M.B.A. from University of Maryland USA (1995).

My journey in the markets started with my setting up one of the first National Stock Exchange memberships in New Delhi in 1996. For two decades, I serviced institutional, Corporate, H.N.I. and retail clients and along the way developed a keen sense for systematic rule based investing systems and technical trading.  On completing twenty years of the business in 2016, I decided move on to a more fulfilling stage of my life and started this public blog and advisory services.

A momentum investing product, Mi50 was the first product I started to manage my own funds in a systematic manner. I put out the entire portfolio, and all weekly trade updates in the public domain from day one for a whole year and was immensely encouraged by the positive feedback I received from a large number of social media followers and supporters.  Mi50 completed one year on Mar 31 2017 and it clocked returns  above 54% for the first year. Several other products have followed Mi50 by now all running on the basic genetics of momentum returns, capital preservation and holistic portfolio approach.

Buoyed by the initial success and to satisfy a consistent demand for financial advisory for others, I acquired a SEBI RIA ( Registered Investment Advisor) license and rolled out the same strategies that I was running my own money on for others via and

“Simplicity” is what drives most of my processes. All that I do is conceptualized and operationalized around that basic concept. The idea is whether it is the account opening steps, or operational ease of running the strategy or the ease of getting quick support, everything should flow with simple ease. All my strategies and procedures are built around this tenet. My belief is that the trade off between time spent in investing with such strategies ( few mins a week) vs. the expected returns is greatly tilted in our favor.  The simple processes also help in cutting a lot of noise from our investing activity.

I also run a long short positional strategy “STAIRS” on Nifty and Bank Nifty as a hedge against the long only Momentum investing system. Details are at

Disclaimer : I have full skin in the game and I always let my own money play out the system before offering it to others.  I am invested fully in all the products that are offered. As a disclosure I also do some discretionary investing/trading apart from this and hence I may have in line or contra-positions to the recommendations here at times.

Using Normalisation Process Theory [NPT] to understand how GPs have engaged with eConsults.

Category: New Care Models

Date: 2018

This 2018 presentation reports on a mixed method evaluation underpinned by the Normalisation Process Theory [NPT] conceptual framework to evaluate the pilot implementation of eConsults in 2 Wessex GP practices. Trends in usage, surveys and semi-structured interviews of GP practice staff and survey of patients showed both benefits and limitations of eConsults. Patients identified more benefits and GPs more limitations and barriers to implementation. Only 40% and 60% of GPs, respectively, wanted their own GP practice to offer eConsults but 90% of patients would recommend eConsults to family and friends.

Martina McBride has seen great success in her career. Since signing with RCA Nashville in 1991 and making her country music debut with The Time Has Come in 1992, McBride has recorded 13 albums, been nominated for 14 Grammys (not to mention countless other awards) and sold over 14 million records.

Because of those achievements, it was a big feat to narrow her discography down to only 10 great songs, but here are The Boot's picks for the Top 10 Martina McBride tunes.

  • 10

    From: 'Greatest Hits' (2001)

    Sometimes we need a little reminder of all the blessings in our lives. If you're ever having a day when things just aren't adding up the way you'd like, listen to McBride's hit "Blessed," on which Carolyn Dawn Johnson sang backing vocals. In it, she lists what she's most blessed by in life, singing sweetly, "I thank God for all I've been given / At the end of every day / I have been blessed." The song's theme of gratitude resonated deeply with fans: "Blessed" was McBride's fifth No. 1 single.

  • 9

    From: 'Evolution' (1997)

    "Valentine" was originally recorded by Jim Brickman, for his 1997 album Picture This, with guest vocals from McBride, and it later appeared on her record Evolution. "Valentine" is a classic McBride song; backed by elegant piano playing, her vocals shine in this tender ballad, a love letter put to a melody. It's a song not just for Feb. 14, but also for a regular day because when you're in love, you can find romance in every day. The song was a hit in multiple genres, peaking at No. 3 on the Adult Contemporary charts.

  • 8

    "Wild Angels"

    From: 'Wild Angels' (1995)

    "Wild Angels" was McBride's first No. 1 hit, the genesis of many more to come. The song is the title track of her second album and nods to the fact that love is beautiful -- but also very hard. McBride sings of "Wild angels / Watching over you and me" after making it through tough times with her love. One could argue that McBride sounds like an angel herself as her vocals carry the uplifting song.

  • 7

    "Still Holding On"

    From: 'Evolution' (1997)

    Recorded by Clint Black and McBride, "Still Holding On" was released in 1997 as the first single from Black's Nothin' But the Taillights album, and McBride later included it on Evolution. The lyrics evoke deep emotion, the singers reminiscing over a love that's doomed -- but still so dear: "Even when my arms are empty, darlin' / I'm still holdin' on to you." McBride and Black were duly rewarded for their efforts, with "Still Holding On" receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals in 1998.

  • 6

    From: 'Waking Up Laughing' (2007)

    McBride co-wrote "Anyway," the lead single from her gold-certified Waking Up Laughing record, with country duo the Warren Brothers; it was her first time co-writing one of her singles. The song is based on an inspirational poem that Mother Teresa favored. Key lyrics include: "God is great, but sometimes life ain't good / When I pray, it doesn't always turn out like I think it should / But I do it anyway." 'Anyway' was eagerly received and nominated for Single of the Year and Song of the Year at the CMAs, as well as for Country Recorded Song of the Year at the Dove Awards.

  • 5

    "This One's for the Girls"

    From: 'Martina' (2003)

    If there was ever an anthem for women of all ages, "This One's for the Girls" takes the cake; it resonated wildly with females of all generations. In the tune, McBride sings about the difficulties of being 13, living on your own for the first time and watching time etch wrinkles into your face -- but she tells them all that they're beautiful. Plus, McBride's daughters Delaney and Emma and country singers Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Faith Hill all sing backing vocals on the song. Its catchy melody still rings true today.

  • 4

    "A Broken Wing"

    From: 'Evolution' (1997)

    In 1997, "A Broken Wing" was the first single from Evolution, and it later became McBride's second No. 1 song. It deals with a particularly emotional subject: a woman in an abusive relationship. The woman "loved him like he was the last man on Earth" and "bore her heart to him, telling him all about her dreams." But what she received was scorn, shame and a man who simply "loved to make her cry." Fortunately, "A Broken Wing" has a happy ending: The woman in the song becomes empowered, escaping from the grips of her husband and inspiring hope and strength in any female listener.

  • 3

    "I'm Gonna Love You Through It"

    From: 'Eleven' (2011)

    "I'm Gonna Love You Through It," from McBride's Eleven record, hits home for many listeners. It also requires a box of Kleenex with each listen. The song takes fans into the story of a 38-year-old woman, who is battling cancer, and her husband, who is committed to standing by her. He is her rock, comforter and strength -- the one who keeps her afloat when she feels like she's drowning. The lyrics paint a powerful picture, with the husband saying, "When you’re weak, I’ll be strong / When you let go, I’ll hold on / When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes." "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" deservedly earned McBride a Grammy nomination for Best Solo Performance, and the touching music video featured real-life cancer survivors like Sheryl Crow, Robin Roberts and Hoda Kotb, plus cancer activist Katie Couric.

  • 2

    "Concrete Angel"

    From: 'Greatest Hits' (2001)

    One of the most emotional ballads we've heard, "Concrete Angel" brings the story of a young girl being abused to life. McBride's gorgeous vocals are tender yet passionate, despairing yet incredibly hopeful. This song holds much weight in its words, and McBride does it justice. "Concrete Angel" went to No. 5 on the charts, and its rise also brought an incredibly important issue to the ears of country fans.

  • 1

    "Independence Day"

    From: 'The Way That I Am' (1993)

    "Independence Day" is one of the crowning achievements of McBride's career. Although it did not reach the Top 10, it wasn't due to fan disinterest in the song; rather, radio programmers objected to the subject matter of domestic abuse and the questionable way the subject of the song (a mother) dealt with her abusive husband. Even though it didn't see chart success, "Independence Day" won Video of the Year and Song of the Year at the CMA Awards and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song and Best Country & Western Vocal Performance -- Female. Though controversial, in 2002, "Independence Day" was ranked at No. 2 on CMT's 100 Greatest Videos in Country Music.

IP and the 80 Percent Rule

WCCB Richard England D3TouchSenior audio mixer for the WCCB-TV morning show, Richard England, is shown here in front of the Dimension Three Touch audio console

WCCB Logo“Our philosophy is to operationally stay within the system box…doing 80% that works consistently and reliably on a daily basis rather than 100% that doesn’t.”

Those are the words of Bob Davis, Director of Engineering and Operations for regional broadcaster Bahakel Communications headquartered in Charlotte, NC, and they make good sense to any broadcaster who wants to move into IP workflows without making a mess of things.

As he explains, “Providing a solid and stable system design for our production and operations teams while keeping them within well-defined parameters is the key to our success in the world of IP video and audio.”

Bahakel has been perfecting the 80 percent mindset for two years, during which time the group has linked up three of its six stations over IP for live, daily production. From its WCCB-TV studio in Charlotte, the group produces WOLO-TV’s newscasts from nearby Columbia, South Carolina. All studio cameras, mics, IFB, prompter, weather system, and set monitors in the downtown Columbia newsroom are linked to Charlotte by IP. In Charlotte, it all goes through production and master control, and is then re-encoded with all the sub-channels and sent back to Columbia via IP transport for transmission.

The same setup is used for some programming for WFXB-TV in Myrtle Beach. Mid-day weather is presented from the Columbia newsroom, through WCCB-TV production, and fed back via IP to WFXB-TV for air. News and weather content can be originated from any of the three locations for all three stations, as was the case during Hurricane Matthew.

Wheatstone’s Dimension Three IP audio console handles the mixing, mic control and IFB for all three from the Charlotte studio, using WheatNet-IP audio network I/O BLADEs. The three studios are less than a few hundred miles from each other. For audio-video transport, Bahakel uses Adtec, Harmonic and Sencore equipment for the IP links. “Often syncing the audio and video is a problem, but for us it has not been. We make sure the A/V encoding is done properly, with close attention paid to stream parameters and system design for synchronization so there’s no video and audio drift,” explains Davis.

Read the rest of the story:

There is a slight delay due to H.264 HD 4:2:2 quality video encoding and transport, but Davis says this has been an anticipated part of production since the group began central-casting WOLO-TV from WCCB-TV over earlier DS3 circuits years ago.

The difference is that by going from DS3 circuits to a dedicated IP link, the group has cut transport costs in half – and without compromising reliability. When Hurricane Matthew came through the area last fall, Bahakel broadcast live on all three stations from all three stations, continuing to broadcast even during a mass evacuation in Myrtle Beach without losing IP connectivity. WFXB-TV’s building was empty and dark, remotely operated from WCCB-TV during the storm.

“Everything we do is around the idea that it has to work reliably without daily intervention, and we prove the system beforehand so we know the operational limitations,” explains Davis. As IT technology proves itself over time, the group then folds those new developments into its operation, making the best of current technology without getting stuck with early adopter reliability issues. WCCB-TV started with a Wheatstone TV80 analog audio console in 1999, and then upgraded to the Dimension Three with touchscreen access in October of 2016. “We evaluated the console and saw that it could be connected via (IP audio network) BLADEs, and thought, ‘let’s see what else we can do with that,’” says Davis. “Wheatstone’s service and support are superb, so we had confidence their IP products would meet our needs.”

WCCB GaryStrickler TV80 Board

Recently, he expanded on the WheatNet-IP audio network with Wheatstone’s EDGE and AuraIP-8 BLADE for an eight-channel audio link over Ethernet IP. The group uses the system for transporting multiple Columbia radio stations’ audio back to WOLO-TV’s master control in Charlotte for Emergency Alert System (EAS) compliance.

“While we do push the envelope here, rather than going for the 100 percent that’s problematic, we go for the 80 percent that works. That’s working very well for us,” sums up Davis.

Sounds like a good plan to us.

IP Audio and At-Home Remote Productions

PhilChart3Audio has been comfortably traveling on IP for years and we’ve now arrived at a point where the IP audio model has become extremely useful for at-home remote productions.

Systems that were previously put together with an assortment of signal types (analog mic and line, AES, GPI, SDI) can now be assembled using IP as the unifying signal type.  This is particularly helpful for creating a “network on location” that can handle audio I/O, IFB, and audio processing.

This approach involves the use of IP audio I/O endpoints at the home studio and at the remote location, where there’s a variety of signal types for ingesting wireless and wired mic sources, and IFB to various talent and camera-persons, plus program outputs.

IP audio endpoints help create a unified signal matrix for routing any audio or control input to any output over an integrated network of devices all running on Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, with the advent of intelligent endpoints, aggregating baseband audio signals into mixed and processed IP audio streams is now possible. For example, our WheatNet-IP endpoints, or I/O units known as BLADEs, have built-in mixing and processing so that venue-side levels can be controlled from the main studio. Similarly, if an ambient crowd mic at the venue location has too much low end, the producer at the main studio can apply a high pass filter remotely.

Wheatstone’s Phil Owens and Lon Neumann will be discussing these and other details of At-Home Remote Production with IP Audio Networking at the upcoming NAB2017 BEIT conference, Saturday, April 22, Room N256.  We hope to see you there.

Your IP Question Answered

Q: How does your WheatNet-IP audio network handle IFB?

A: If you have an existing IFB intercom system, you can interface it directly into the WheatNet-IP audio network using our MADI unit. Or, you can use the WheatNet-IP audio network as your IFB backbone. We have utility mixers built into the system’s I/O units, known as BLADEs, so you can  create mix-minus anywhere in the network. Either way, IFB can be preset, controlled and triggered from any IP console in the WheatNet-IP audio network.

Working from home can be a DREAM for some people, OK fine, most people, but it’s not all sunshine, rainbows, and puppies. It comes with its hurdles and learning curves. It takes a particular person and the right environment to get it right. Add in the travel aspect, and WOW, it gets even harder to gather all the right home office accessories and find the right space to actually get sh*t done.

Hopefully, my travel-friendly home office set up here can help you create the best home office without having to spend much or waste space.

Travel Home Office Accessories

Laptop Stand

I love this thing; it saves my neck every day. You will never notice just how much you look down while on a laptop until you get this thing. Once you prop up your laptop and start staring at your computer from a normal height, that’s in line with your neck being upright, your life will be changed.

It’s no secret that people that work from the laptop will be severely apt to getting “tech neck,” so let’s lessen that a bit and grab a tiny stand that folds up for travel, no? This home office accessory is perfect for travelers or those who work with small spaces.

Check Price Here

My keyboard and stand are an essential travel home office accessory

My Bluetooth keyboard and laptop stand – essential!

Bluetooth Keyboard

You can’t grab a laptop stand without grabbing a Bluetooth keyboard. It just doesn’t work! No worries though, this home office accessory is crazy convenient, easy to travel with, and 100% necessary. No matter where you are you can bust out your stand and Bluetooth keyboard and continue with your work

Neither take up too much space and, of course, helps avoid neck tension.

Now, you can get a cheap one or get a more high-tech one like the official Apple keyboard. I have the cheap one, and it’s OK, definitely good enough, but Garrett’s Apple keyboard is a step up. There is a difference with typing accuracy, the Apple on is better! But my cheap one isn’t half bad either.

Check Prices:  This one and this one are like mine

Check Price for the Apple keyboard

Bluetooth Mouse (The Most Important Travel Home Office Accessory)

Don’t you DARE use that trackpad while working from home! Even from your travel home office, you should be using a mouse instead of the trackpad on your laptop. Also, you need one if you’re using a laptop stand.

Let’s go back in time to when I was working online during my early years, sometime around 2013. I was having SERIOUS issues. It was terrible because it felt like I was getting carpal tunnel. Guess what? I WAS GETTING IT because it was using my trackpad.

Try using your trackpad right now and notice what your hand does. Your wrist is arched oddly, either way up or way down, all while your fingers are strained upward. It’s a very awkward position to leave your hands in, and your wrist is in nearly constant “spasm” mode. Uhm, no, STOP.

As soon as I started using a mouse, it was like magic. All my wrist pains melted away very quickly, and as soon as I do a quick work sesh on my trackpad nowadays, I notice tension and some onset pains coming right on back.

Step away from the trackpad, get yourself a mouse. Any mouse. Out of all the home office accessories, this is the one MUST.

Check Price Here

My mouse and wrist pads are two top travel home office accessories

My mouse and wrist pads are a must.

Wrist Pads

Speaking of awkward hand positions and wrist pains, let me tell you about another magical home office accessory that I can’t live or travel without anymore. My little bubble wrist pads.

Every time I post my home office set up on my Instagram stories, and people notice my blue wrist pads; I always get a message about them.

What is that!? What are those blue things?!

Wrist pads, people. God damn wrist-saving pads that are easy enough to travel with, take up zero space and will relieve your hand, wrist, and arm pains within days.

TRUST ME. I was there. Just get them.

You can get a longer wrist pad or two single ones to move around as I use. Garrett likes the longer one, I like the two separate ones.

Check Price Here (you’ll need two of these!) | Check Price Here (one long one)

Well, DUH, Nina.

Some of you may be rolling your eyes, but some people don’t understand the benefit of a headset for working… You go into your little world.

Even if I can still hear what’s around me, just a bit more muffled it HELPS. Massively.

I listen to music, but since I write, I don’t listen to songs with lyrics. It just doesn’t jive with me. Reading or writing and then listening to music with words? Ah!

Of course, my boyfriend listens to rap, heavy metal, and other crazy music because he’s a video editor and can do that.

Me? I listen to focus music or chill vibe tracks. Those links are some of my Spotify lists I like working to.

DON’T work like this. It’s bad for your wrists and upper body. Only do it if you’re taking a picture 🙂 all my travel home office accessories got busted out two seconds after this pic.

Keyboard Cover Skin

Listen, regardless if you’re using your laptop with or without the above, let me recommend a skin. It’s a bit weird when you first start typing, but this home office accessory will save your laptop in case of a coffee or wine spilling emergency, and it will help keep those potato chips crumbs out of your keyboard!

TRUST, when I say, working from home, will create a mess for your laptop—it will. Greasy fingers, crumbs, and spills, are like 99% more likely (this is a super official number). So save your laptop and put a cheap skin on it!

Speaking of cover, it wouldn’t hurt to get a protective cover for the entire laptop, especially because you’re a traveler, so… Yeah, you may want to consider that! I know my laptop would look bust AF without my cover.

Check Price Here

So, Nina, do you actually travel with all these items? Yep. Sure do! If you’re working from home, you NEED to be comfortable. So these items go with me everywhere, because everywhere is home. And they honestly don’t take up that much room. They help me stay comfortable when working long days and help me not be in pain.

I got worried there for a minute when I started getting so many pains, and I was able to get over that pain immediately by using the home office accessories I mentioned above. Hopefully, this helped anyone who just started out traveling and working or someone with a new home office (but not a lot of space!). 🙂

What do you use for your home office? Do you travel with it tool? Let us know in the comments.

  17. Message to the government of Ukraine #OpUkraine

    Citizens of the European Union! We are anonymous. For a long time we stood off the grid, remained neutral and silently watched the Ukrainian authorities forging their way to gain the confidence of the European community, deftly hiding true face behind masks of lies and hypocrisy. The time has come to put an end to the fraud. Despite demonstrated loyalty, good-neighborliness and alleged commitment to the European values, the Ukrainian authorities are openly persecuting the Polish population within their country. The right to self-determination of the Polish minority in Volyn region of Ukraine has been practically destroyed. Polish language along with any Polish attributes in the region are prohibited, the authorities strictly suppress any attempts by local Poles to hold meetings. The most vocal representatives of the Polish minority in Ukraine become subject to illegal surveillance, prime suspects in fabricated criminal cases and unfortunate victims of accidents and armed attacks. Under the pretext of inspections the Ukrainian police confiscate Polish documents, lose them, deface or even replace them with fakes to instantly open criminal cases against their owners. We are anonymous! We intend to take off those masks of lies, hypocrisy and pretense from the Ukrainian authorities! We warn the government of Ukraine! No one will go unpunished! In the nearest future, we are going to start publishing personal data of all Ukrainian citizens involved in encroaching on the rights of Polish people in Ukraine. And we will keep doing it until the harassment of Poles is stopped. This is not a threat, it is a promise. We are anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

Today, April 19, 2013, marks the 18th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

The building, built in 1977, was the home of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, along with the United States Secret Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Social Security Administration.  More than five hundred people worked at the building, which also had an on-site child care service.  Nineteen children under the age of six were killed, along with 159 others, when a Ryder rental truck filled with explosives was detonated in front of the building.

Almost seven hundred people were injured and more than three hundred buildings in Downtown Oklahoma City were damaged or destroyed.

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were charged with planning the attack.  Others were later charged as accomplices.  McVeigh was put to death by lethal injection in 2001.  Nichols was sentenced to life in prison.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum was dedicated by President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush on February 19, 2001 with the mission of educating the public about "the senselessness of terrorism and violence."  The "Field of Empty Chairs," representing each of the bombing victims who lost a life, is visited annually by thousands.

Last Deglaciation Core Experiment Design

Go back to the main working group page.

Following wide consultation, this is our experiment design for the last deglaciation core simulation. It is currently in Geoscientific Model Development Discussions:
Ivanovic, R. F., L. J. Gregoire, M. Kageyama, D. M. Roche, P. J. Valdes, A. Burke, R. Drummond, W. R. Peltier, and L. Tarasov (2015), Transient climate simulations of the deglaciation 21–9 thousand years before present; PMIP4 Core experiment design and boundary conditions, Geosci Model Dev Discuss, 8(10), 9045–9102, doi:10.5194/gmdd-8-9045-2015

To make sure we incorporate your comments in the final, published experiment design, please use GMD's discussion facility for the manuscript, which will stay open until 16th December 2015.

The published version of the experiment design is/will be the definitive version and supersedes any differences on this wiki. Data will be available to download from this wiki when the manuscript is accepted in its final state.

Please use the Discussion section below and our mailing list for general discussion on the working group.
There are also the following dedicated pages:

Transient simulation 21-9 ka

All core simulations must span this time-period. Note that forcings provided will run 21-0 ka.
Please use:

Equilibrium-type LGM 21 ka

In some cases, the following constraints may differ from other PMIP 21 ka experiments. If possible, please make sure you use the setup described here:

  • Orbital parameters:
    • eccentricity: 0.018994
    • obliquity: 22.949°
    • perihelion–180°: 114.42°
    • vernal equinox: 21st March at noon
  • Solar constant: same as for the preindustrial (e.g. 1365 W/m2)
  • Trace gases:
    • CO2: 188 ppm
    • CH4: 375 ppb
    • N2O: 200 ppb
    • CFCs: 0
    • O3: same as PMIP3/CMIP5 preindustrial (e.g. 10 DU)
  • Ice sheets: ICE-6G_C or GLAC-1D - use whichever you will use for the ensuing transient simulation
  • Topography and coastlines: as per the chosen ice sheet. Please ensure that rivers reach the ocean.
  • Bathymetry: Optional. If possible, as per the chosen ice sheet. Otherwise, up to the user to decide.
  • Global ocean salinity: +1 psu
  • Freshwater budget: Please note the PMIP LGM advice to try to avoid unnecessary ocean salinity drifts. You may need to route excess snow to the ocean.
  • Other boundary conditions: consistent with the Core

26-21 ka LGM

For those who wish to begin their simulation from before the PMIP LGM, use the following transient data:

Destruction of the Desmarais Frères Havre stock factory

By Edmond Gunziger, Engineer E.C.P. Director of the Graville and Le Havre factories (1943)

Since May 20, 1940, the Le Havre population had been put on alert every night. As the German push from the Somme progressed, air raids intensified. During the night of June 3, a bombardment surrounded our factory which was partially destroyed. On the morning of June 9, the sky darkened, soon covering the city with a thick cloud from the refinery factories of Gonfreville-L’Orcher, where the C.F.R. had just been ordered to burn down its reserves. (June 9, 1940, 9 a.m., the C.F.R. burns its reserves). The next day, June 10, it was our turn: the Admiralty's order to destroy our stock. The execution was immediate and the firing ended in the afternoon by our teams and the English soldiers. This was followed by the exodus of Desmarais Frères staff to the assembly at the Blaye factory. As soon as possible, in July, a mission returned to Le Havre to recognize the condition of the ruins. We started to clear the rubble. We took stock of the usable remains. Various materials (sheets, irons, mainly) have already been recovered for the frame of the Bourges distillery. Plans have been made for partial reconstruction. The work is in progress.

Get "smart" with WildTrails

Manas National Park

Manas National Park or Manas Wildlife Sanctuary is a national park, UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, a Project Tiger reserve, an elephant reserve and a biosphere reserve in Assam, India. Located in the Himalayan foothills, it is contiguous with the Royal Manas National Park in Bhutan. The park is known for its rare and endangered endemic wildlife such as the Assam roofed turtle, hispid hare, golden langur and pygmy hog. Manas is famous for its population of the wild water buffalo.

The name of the park is originated from the Manas River, which is named after the serpent goddess Manasa. The Manas river is a major tributary of Brahmaputra River, which passes through the heart of the national park.

HISTORY: The Manas National Park was declared a sanctuary on 1 October 1928 with an area of 360 km2. Manas bioreserve was created in 1973. Prior to the declaration of the sanctuary it was a reserved forest called Manas R.F. and North Kamrup R.F. It was used by the Cooch Behar royal family and Raja of Gauripur as a hunting reserve. In 1951 and 1955 the area was increased to 391 km2. It was declared a World Heritage site in December 1985 by UNESCO. Kahitama R.F. the Kokilabari R.F. and the Panbari R.F. were added in the year 1990 to form the Manas National Park. In 1992, UNESCO declared it as a world heritage site in danger due to heavy poaching and terrorist activities. On 25 February 2008 the area was increased to 950 km2. On 21 June 2011, it was removed from the List of World Heritage in Danger and was commended for its efforts in preservation.

There is only one forest village, Agrang, in the core of the national park. Apart from this village 56 more villages surround the park. Many more fringe villages are directly or indirectly dependent on the park.

GEOGRAPHY: The park is divided into three ranges. The western range is based at Panbari, the central at Bansbari near Barpeta Road, and the eastern at Bhuiyapara near Pathsala. The ranges are not well connected; while two major rivers need to be forded in going from the centre to the Panbari, there is a rough trail (the daimAri road) connecting the central to the eastern range. Most visitors come to Bansbari and then spend some time inside the forest at Mathanguri on the Manas river at the Bhutan border.

Manas is located in the foothills of the Eastern Himalaya and is densely forested. The Manas river flows thorough the west of the park and is the main river within it. It is a major tributary of Brahmaputra river and splits into two separate rivers, the Beki and Bholkaduba as it reaches the plains. Five other smaller rivers also flow through the national park which lies on a wide, low-lying alluvial terrace spreading out below the foothills of the outer Himalaya. The Manas river also serves as an international border dividing India and Bhutan. The bedrock of the savanna area in the north of the park is made up of limestone and sandstone, whereas the grasslands in the south of the park stand on deep deposits of fine alluvium. The combination of Sub-Himalayan Bhabar Terai formation along with the riverine succession continuing up to Sub-Himalayan mountain forest make it one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world. The park is 950 km2. in area and is situated at a height of 61m to 110m above mean sea level.
