How Many Days Before Af Is Implantation Bleeding

interesting

from National Geographic Italy, December 2005, page 107, page 110

[...]

To prove the adaptability of Buddhism, the same meditation technique that I follow has become the strength of an innovative program of prison reform that is taking place across India .
<< I'm not serving a sentence, I'm doing vipassana >> says the inmate Udegbe Hyginus. For four and a half years has been abducted in the Nigerian Hyginus Tihar prison complex in New Delhi, awaiting trial for possession of cocaine. And 'one of the largest prisons in Asia and is home to nearly 13 thousand detainees, more than double its capacity . Overcrowding, poor sanitary conditions and a staff that at times overwhelms the prisoners by treating them in an inhumane way, make it a living hell .
But Hyginus and thousands of other Indian prisoners, the practice of vipassana turned the prison into an oasis of reflection and rehabilitation . In a section of the Prison No. 4, for a place of retreat, every two weeks a session takes place every ten days. Prisoners may be repeated every three months, and many do .

<< [...] After my first retreat here >> Says Hyginus, << I dropped the pressure, and I slept ten hours. I was irritable, and now I feel calm and peaceful as a dove. I'm much happier >>.

strikes me even more what he says a man who makes the jailer to Tihar for 14 years, and has made three withdrawals here, all volunteers. << I just wanted to prove that this person that I had heard about vipassana >> says. << Before going into retreat beat prisoners, the stress made me a monster. After, I felt more human >>. Now the prisoners turn to him for advice.

[...]

<< We are all prisoners of our mind >> says the Burmese meditation teacher (and former businessman) Satya Narayan Goenka, octogenarian, promoter of the return of vipassana in India. << What better place to understand that here behind bars? >>. So, meditation group will meet regularly in prisons around the world. Studies show that these practices with the prisoners suffer less, and not inflict suffering on others.
<< I do not teach Buddhism >> says Goenka baritone voice when I visit him at his home in Mumbai. [...] << Vipassana means "seeing things as they really are." After holding his breath under observation for a few days, you begin to pay more attention to your feelings. And soon you realize to be haunted by the desire for food, heat, all sorts of desires, and aversion to unpleasant things. Then you realize that all this is transient. Everything changes. By understanding these simple things that every person, beginning with the Buddha, he finds himself, then follows a whole doctrine >>.

Valerian Root Tea Vs Chamomile Tea



The House of Legality (Genova) for help

I get the following appeal:

now ask for help.

did not think threats and intimidation to clear mafia had thus taken on the communities where we live. We did not think
take the road of building an open civil commitment for legality and social giutizia in contrast to the Mafia, for the promotion of civic consciousness and culture, with activities always free to play and it was clean fun so fraught with conflict and leaner of organized crime in this part of this historical city.

We were wrong assessment, I think that responds to threats and intimidation would find support and support in the population. Not so, the threat will we close "followed the practice: people do not enter, they are afraid. Only when there are initiatives coming from outside the district
people, sometimes does not reach anyone.

We have resisted stubbornly resist and try to give because it would mean" have won them. " why, with the decisive support of the Fondazione Antonio Caponnetto have enabled the Centre to the crime and the mafia , we launched both within, and through leaflets, or through the Web, an information the presence of organized crime of the different mafias in Genoa, on their fields of activity on the old and new means of action. We as the wall starts crumbling and those with knowledge of facts and names begin to speak and bear witness to cooperate formally with the relevant authorities.

We found a great help from the boys, young and old, the Toy Library Labyrinth who decided to come here to respond to threats
mafia and get people to come and enjoy the game as a channel of learning, meeting and fun and not as a gambling or betting.

We had support from friends and artists who came and will come back to play for the boys as adults are invited to enter.

But, minus the occasional appunatamenti, people do not enter. It becomes impossible to source to the few (500 € per month), but indispensable, to keep open the space costs (electricity, heating, water, telephone).

We have presented several projects and others will present next week to ask the local institutions to support projects and activities of the Education Law and Social Justice, to promote civic consciousness and culture in the wake of our Constitution and tackle the roots of the mafia culture, for boys and girls offer practical solutions to the shortage of space and that leaves the field of social degradation and deviancy. We hope the answers are positive, but they may be too late.

The visible and tangible support for the House asked the Legality of Genoa Caponnetto Elizabeth and Rita Borsellino with the open letter in September, seems to be falling on deaf ears.

We are at a crossroads: either quit and give up admitting defeat and nipped in the bud the awakening of civic consciousness in contrast to
widespread lawlessness and full of gangs, or stand still, but this requires your help, we need that helps us to this resistance.

We ask a contribution, however small, and to disseminate this request for help to all those willing and able to extend our appeal.

Thanks, however, and soon.

Not Sure Ifbaby Swallowed A Safety Pin?

epizootic


An epizootic is an "organism that lives on an animal without being parasitic (cited dictionary De Mauro, Pearson). epizootic is also the name of an exoskeleton worn by the English Marcel.lì Antunez Roca in a performance of 1994. It consists of a series of mechatronic devices placed on areas considered "erogenous" (the mouth, ears, nose, chest, and buttocks), controlled remotely via a graphical interface. Roca takes the stage and the audience is given the opportunity to decide which mechanism operated simply with the touch of a mouse.
The work could be viewed as a sadistic erotic game enriched with an unusual approach, but there is something more. The power in the hands of spectators, is aseptic, cold similar reasons, you move a cursor, but in truth it sets in motion an instrument of pleasure and torture. In what one can see an interesting paradigm of Western reality today, in which the relationship between cause and effect, because of the distances between interacting individuals apparently, is so indirect and convoluted (nonlinear) to become undetectable.
In the globalized world of our surroundings there is much lower (local) with respect to the reasons and consequences of our life (global): wear shoes manufactured in Taiwan, encouraging the exploitation of workers without union protections, we declare ourselves in favor of a war thousands of miles away, ignoring what it means to sleep lulled by the bombs and express our opinions on public forums, exposing maieutic comparisons more or less for the people. To think of it, is not something new: they are instead modes. Step onto the pitch 's artifice, the construct of technology, which increases the scope of our actions and at the same time makes them less explicit As you move away from the source.

Church Visitors Welcome Letter

make two accounts

among companies registered at the Chamber of Commerce of Naples, in September 2005 were 216,130. This means that victims of racketeering are 108,065 businesses.

among companies registered at the Chamber of Commerce of Palermo in September 2005 were 76,170. This means that are 60,936 victims of the racketeering enterprise .

In a nutshell, how heavy the extortion activities of the enterprises in the South? According to a survey Censis Foundation BNC-2003, , non-value added growth of southern firms caused by the pervasive presence of organized crime is estimated at 7.5 billion € per year . The estimate covered only companies under 250 employees, refers to a half, roughly, the southern economic activities and therefore constitutes a conservative measure of the overall phenomenon .

But there's more.

The shadow of crime on business is not only manifested in terms of lack of growth economic but also costs in setting up safety systems, and these amount to no less than
4.3 billion euro, or 3.1% of the total turnover of the undertakings concerned in the search . In addition, failure to value added could generate at least 180,000 units of regular work each year or 5.6% of those currently used by companies up to 250 workers in the South
.

Taking a quick sum, the gangs of South cost to companies of € 11.8 billion a year . This, not counting the social costs .

We take the balls, in fact.
