![]() ![]() This includes actions we take with others and, more importantly, our actions with ourselves.Īs you are undergoing your spiritual transformation, no matter what stage of your process, Howlite provides the example of the snow leopard with its strength and focus, but also of the soft, white fur that it carries with it wherever he or it goes. ![]() Its texture is soft and reminds us that we do so with gentleness in all things we do. Howlite is a crystal of compassion, as well. In these times, your inner snow leopard can complete the hunts it needs to, not of prey but of negative habits, thought patterns, and energies. Let Howlite guide you in the process of slowing down physically while maintaining full spiritual and mental awareness. This process is integral spiritually it provides the soul and spirit the energy they need to continue their important transformative works. Its relation to snow makes it a crystal of the winter months when the bodies of mammals enter into either full or partial hibernation. When using this stone as a meditation aid and spiritual ally, you may feel transported to snow-packed mountain ranges, where spirit and nature are united in a blanket of white.Īs with all white sacred gemstones, Howlite can bring peace and clarity of mind – its black lines, however, signify that the mind is still at work, focused, not shut off. However, the stone has also received other names, most recently Snow Leopard Stone, for its resemblance to the fur of the beautiful large cat of Central and South Asia – and likely because these beautiful creatures also make a striking howl. It is named after Henry How, the scientist who brought this crystal to academic awareness in 1868 after finding deposits of the crystal in Nova Scotia. Howlite is a beautiful white stone representing the spiritual qualities of stillness, tenderness, and open-mindedness. This sometimes nearly drove me back to drink, but I soon found that when all other measures failed, working with another alcoholic would save the day. , Paragraph 2: “I was not too well at the time, and was plagued with waves of self-pity and resentment. Page xxiv, paragraph 2: “In our belief, any picture of the alcoholic which leaves out this physical factor is incomplete.” “I don’t have an alcohol problem, I have a living problem” ![]() We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality – safe and protected. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. For by this time sanity will have returned. , paragraph 4, “And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone – even alcohol. “We are all just an arms length away from a drink” , paragraph 3: “We have recovered, and have been given the power to help others.” , paragraph 2: “Further on, clear-cut directions are given showing how we recovered.” , paragraph 2: “Doubtless you are curious to discover how and why, in face of expert opinion to the contrary, we have recovered from a hopeless condition of mind and body.įoreword to the First Edition: “We, of Alcoholics Anonymous, are more than one hundred men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.” The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered from Alcoholism” ![]() “I will always be recovering, never recovered.” , paragraph 2: “We are unable at certain times to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago.” His defense must come from a Higher Power.” Except in a few rare cases, neither he nor any other human being can provide such a defense. , paragraph 4: “Once more: The alcoholic at certain times has no effective mental defense against the first drink. “Think through the drink” - “Remember When” - “Remember your last drunk” There is a complete failure of the kind of defense that keeps one from putting his hand on a hot stove.” I f these thoughts do occur, they are hazy and readily supplanted with the old threadbare idea that this time we shall handle ourselves like other people. , paragraph 3: “The almost certain consequences that follow taking even a glass of beer do not crowd into the mind to deter us. Paragraph 2: “The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink.” It meant the destruction of self-centeredness.” , Paragraph 2: “Simple, but not easy a price had to be paid. With all the earnestness at our command, we beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start.” Paragraph 3: “We thought we could find an easier, softer way. Paragraph 2: “If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any lengths to get it–then you are ready to take certain steps.” Paragraph 1: “…a manner of living which requires rigorous honesty.” Paragraph 3: “We vigorously commenced this way of living, as we cleaned up the past.” ![]() Paragraph 2: “Half measures availed us nothing.” Page xiii Paragraph 1: “To show other alcoholics precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of this book.” ![]() Here is a list of the opinions, perspectives, and slogans we often hear in rooms and what the our original Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous basic text (4th Edition) has to say about it. We hear a lot of stuff said in meetings that can’t be reconciled with the program as described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The result of this has been a severe decline in the success rate of alcoholics finding lasting recovery. Since the suggestion made by “The Grapevine” in the late 60’s that “Open Discussion” (OD) meetings might be a good idea, there has been a change in the message being presented in the rooms from a focus on the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous to “group therapy” where anyone and everyone is privileged to speak on whatever might be on their mind. ![]() Profile.2.icon=jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Variations/Client/djvuencoder.jar!/edu/indiana/dml/util/scoreencoder/colorIcon.png Profile.1.djvuPath="C:/Program Files/DjVuZone/DjVuLibre/cjb2.exe" Profile.1.convertParams=+dither +antialias ![]() Profile.1.convertPath="C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-6.6.9-Q16/convert.exe" Profile.1.icon=jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Variations/Client/djvuencoder.jar!/edu/indiana/dml/util/scoreencoder/bitonalIcon.png This value specifies if this encoding profile is bitonal or not.This value should have any parameters to be passed to the djvu encoder executable.This valueshould point to where you have the djvu encoder executables.This value should have any parameters to be passed to the convert executable.This value should point to where you have the convert executable.This value should have a file URI that points to an icon to represent this encoding profile.This value should have a short name for this encoding profile.Each encoding profile has seven configurable properties: You can specify up to 10 encoding profiles (0 to 9) in the configuration file.

Several analyses have shown, however, that coal is being displaced in the US largely by economic forces, such as cheaper gas, rather than environmental regulation. This rhetoric was echoed by the National Mining Association, which claimed that the EPA’s “disregard for the repercussions of premature coal plant retirements” posed serious risks. “This administration is determined to advance its radical climate agenda and has made it clear they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal- and gas-fueled power plants out of existence,” said Manchin, who vowed, as chairman of the Senate’s energy and natural resources committee, to block all EPA nominees in protest over the rule. The new climate rule already has a committed congressional foe in the form of Senator Joe Manchin, the centrist Democrat who personally has coal interests in his native West Virginia. Meanwhile, a future Republican president, perhaps even Donald Trump, could undo the pollution regulations. “We feel really good that we are within those bounds,” Regan said. We use Google reCaptcha to protect our website and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.ĮPA officials have said, however, they are confident the rule sits within the court’s view of the agency’s authority. For more information see our Privacy Policy. Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties. The supreme court previously stymied a previous, albeit more sweeping, attempt to regulate power plants by Barack Obama’s administration. The rightwing-dominated supreme court, which limited the scope of the EPA’s climate actions in a ruling last summer, may well intervene again after the almost inevitable lawsuits that coal-rich Republican states will probably launch. The agency’s push to tackle the climate crisis still faces significant hurdles. Vehicles and power plants are the two most polluting sectors in the US and the sticks that the EPA can wield here are essential.” Lena Moffitt, executive director of Evergreen, an environmental campaign group, said younger voters in particular want the Biden administration “to make polluters clean up their act in fact they want him to go further, faster. This is despite a series of controversial recent decisions by the Biden administration that risk undermining its own climate agenda, such as the approval of the Willow oil project in Alaska and the buildout of a growing export industry for liquified natural gas. In combination, these moves “have the potential to substantially advance clean power generation in the US”, according to Brian Murray, an environmental policy expert at Duke University. The climate rule caps off a month of frenzied activity by the EPA, which has issued a flurry of new regulations aimed at curbing air toxins from industrial facilities and restricting planet-heating gases from new cars and trucks. ![]() ![]() “This is a day for the history books, as the United States locks into the path toward a prosperous, clean and equitable future.,” Lashof said. “The EPA’s proposed rule sends an unequivocal signal to American power plant operators: the era of unlimited carbon pollution is over,” said Dan Lashof, US director of the World Resources Institute, who added that the regulation would result in more than an 80% reduction in carbon pollution from power plants by 2040 compared to 2005 levels. ![]() Researchers have warned that without further regulation of major pollution sources, the US – the world’s largest historical emitter of planet-heating gases – will miss its climate targets and risk unleashing ever worsening heatwaves, droughts, flooding and societal upheaval at home and overseas. The new rule has been welcomed by environmental groups as a potentially pivotal moment that should, in combination with support for clean energy in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act, drive down emissions in the power sector, which contributes about a quarter of the US’s overall greenhouse gas pollution. “The public and environmental benefits of this rule will be tremendous.” “Not only will the proposal improve air quality nationwide, it will bring substantial health improvements to communities across this country, especially communities that have unjustly borne the burden of pollution,” Regan said. The new rule – if it survives a gamut of expected legal challenges – will help “safeguard the planet for future generations”, according to Michael Regan, the EPA administrator. In all, the EPA forecasts that the standards would prevent up to 617m tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted from coal and gas plants over the next two decades, which is equivalent to the yearly emissions of around half of all the cars in the US, or nearly double what the entire UK emits in a year. ![]() ![]() Three new applications demonstrate up just within the time it has taken me to create this article!

Personally I prefer the Alarm option as I hardly use the Timer on my iPhone. CCClockOpenToAlarm8 changes that behavior by opening the ‘Alarms’ screen of Clock when you tap on that button. The Clock button in the Control Center quickly opens the ‘Timer’ screen of the clock application. But with CyDelete8 you can do it directly from SpringBoard by entering the wiggle mode and tapping the ‘x’ button. Normally, unlike the App Store apps you have to open Cydia and uninstall the applications downloaded from the store.

DreamBoard recently got updated to bring full support for iOS 8 allowing users to apply themes, add widgets and do styling on their springboard. DreamBoard is an advanced themeing platform for iOS and is a great alternative to WinterBoard when it comes to customizing the look of iPhone or iPod touch’s user-interface. ![]() Plus, some invoicing solutions are costly. Freelancers and small business owners not opting for electronic invoicing do so because of their perceived difficulty in adopting new software (problem: bumpy onboarding) and managing a new tool (problem: the need for some technical training). Let me tell you that there are no real cons to electronic invoicing. What gives? Why the resistance to digital or electronic invoicing? That means that in 2019 only 55 of the 550 billion invoices were exchanged without relying on paper. Statistics ( Billentis, 2019) show that only 10% of data entry/extraction in invoicing is done electronically worldwide. So, by automating administrative activities, businesses could save up to $2 trillion in yearly wages since almost half (45%) of such tasks could be done faster and cheaper with better processes and software, according to a McKinsey study. Research shows that there is just too much administrative work – this lost productivity accrues on average 69 work days and $5 trillion in annual wages. However, the market is estimated to surpass $25 million by 2027 regarding software and invoicing solutions. In 2017, the electronic invoicing market was barely scratching, with 88% of SMBs trying to spend less than $100/month on an invoicing tool.

These pictures made the writing very difficult to read. The girls would also write in big, round characters and they added little pictures to their writing, such as hearts, stars, emoticon faces, and letters of the Latin alphabet. These pencils produced very fine lines, as opposed to traditional Japanese writing that varied in thickness and was vertical. Many teenage girls participated in this style the handwriting was made by writing laterally, often while using mechanical pencils. In the 1970s, the popularity of the kawaii aesthetic inspired a style of writing. Forms of kawaii and its derivatives kawaisō and kawairashii (with the suffix -rashii "-like, -ly") are used in modern dialects to mean "embarrassing/embarrassed, shameful/ashamed" or "good, nice, fine, excellent, superb, splendid, admirable" in addition to the standard meanings of "adorable" and "pitiable." ![]() However, the earlier meaning survives into the modern Standard Japanese adjectival noun かわいそう kawaisō (often written with ateji as 可哀相 or 可哀想) "piteous, pitiable, arousing compassion, poor, sad, sorry" (etymologically from 顔映様 "face / projecting, reflecting, or transmitting light, flushing, blushing / seeming, appearance"). ![]() During the Shogunate period under the ideology of neo-Confucianism, women came to be included under the term kawaii as the perception of women being animalistic was replaced with the conception of women as docile. The original definition of kawaii came from Lady Murasaki's 11th century novel The Tale of Genji, where it referred to pitiable qualities. The kanji in the ateji literally translates to "able to love/be loved, can/may love, lovable." It is commonly written in hiragana, かわいい, but the ateji, 可愛い, has also been used. Over time, the meaning changed into the modern meaning of "cute" or "shine", and the pronunciation changed to かわゆい kawayui and then to the modern かわいい kawaii. The second morpheme is cognate with -bayu in mabayui (眩い, 目映い, or 目映ゆい) "dazzling, glaring, blinding, too bright dazzlingly beautiful" ( ma- is from 目 me "eye") and -hayu in omohayui (面映い or 面映ゆい) "embarrassed/embarrassing, awkward, feeling self-conscious/making one feel self-conscious" ( omo- is from 面 omo, an archaic word for "face, looks, features surface image, semblance, vestige"). ![]() The word kawaii originally derives from the phrase 顔映し kao hayhushi, which literally means "(one's) face (is) aglow," commonly used to refer to flushing or blushing of the face. The cuteness culture, or kawaii aesthetic, has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, and mannerisms. Examples include cute handwriting, certain genres of manga, anime, and characters including Hello Kitty and Pikachu from Pokémon. It can refer to items, humans and non-humans that are charming, vulnerable, shy and childlike. Kawaii ( Japanese: かわいい or 可愛い, IPA: 'lovely', 'loveable', 'cute', or 'adorable') is the culture of cuteness in Japan.
