Recent release “What’s the Deal with Your Sign: An Insight on Astrology” from Page Publishing author Lamar J. Young offers a unique perspective in studying the four primary elements of the world- fire, earth, air, and water- and a comprehensive examination of all tenets of astrological theory.

(PRWEB) July 31, 2017

Lamar J. Young, a lifelong student of astrology, licensed professional school counselor, and academic advisor in Atlanta, Georgia, has completed his new book “What’s the Deal with Your Sign: An Insight on Astrology”.

“While I have enjoyed astrology my entire life, it has not been for reasons or the pleasure of prediction or future telling. It is my unadulterated belief that humans do not have that ability, nor is it our inalienable right. My interest lies in the relationship between the natural elements and the characteristics each possesses. With that said it is important to note that this science is strongly rooted in the natural order of things and that a higher being is ultimately the mastermind behind the miraculous thing we call life. God is the reason this beauty exists. God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, Buddha or whatever you choose to call it is the driving force behind the balance in our world. Our higher being uses humans as a means to demonstrate the working relationship of these elements. Each element (fire, earth, air, and water) has unique characteristics that rely upon and enable the other. This ongoing movement and continual interaction is the manifestation of the harmonious dance we call life. Humans have not created this, nor have we completely understood it. In our constant quest to acquire knowledge and evolve, we get closer to the eternal spirit of God. This is our mission, and for this, I write and have passion for astrology.”
-Lamar J. Young

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Lamar J. Young’s second installment in his series of astrological publications is a must-read for anyone seeking to get the best out of themselves.

On Wednesday, August 2, Babalu Tapas & Tacos will host Noah’s Taco Shop. Proceeds from the all-day pop-up restaurant will help to alleviate the cost of Noah’s ongoing therapy.

Bimringham, AL (PRWEB) July 31, 2017

Seven-year-old Noah Humpherys has overcome obstacles most children and even adults will never experience. He was born with a congenital heart defect which eventually lead to open-heart surgery at four years old. Despite the successful procedure and even before that surgery, Noah’s parents began to notice developmental delays in their son. Later, doctors diagnosed Noah with epilepsy and sensory processing disorder.

Early intervention, occupational therapy, and speech therapy have allowed Noah to make tremendous progress. However, Noah will need to continue therapy for years to come. While necessary, the therapy also comes at a great expense. On Wednesday, August 2, Babalu Tapas & Tacos will host Noah’s Taco Shop. Proceeds from the all-day pop-up restaurant will help to alleviate the cost of Noah’s ongoing therapy.

Babalu will donate $1 for every taco sold during Noah’s Taco Shop. Noah was also given the opportunity to create his own signature taco. His grilled shrimp taco will be sold throughout the day.

“Noah is a good-natured, loving child. He loves people, music, his school, his country, and life in general,” says Cheryl. “He has compassion for people beyond his years. As his mom, I am not sure he realizes all of his own struggles in life. After open-heart surgery, he was more concerned about the other children in the hospital than he seemed about his own pain.”

Cheryl adds, “He is also a little thrill-seeker. If you asked him where on this earth he would rather go, rest assured it would be somewhere with big roller coasters!”

“Noah has such an infectious smile and amazing personality,” said Lindsey Miller, Marketing and Communications Manager for Babalu Tapas & Tacos. “When I first met him, he gave me the biggest hug and at that moment I knew we were helping one deserving family with an incredible little boy. The Babalu team feels very fortunate to have crossed paths with the Humpherys family. We hope our community will come out to be a part of Noah’s Taco Shop!”

Located in Birmingham’s Lakeview District, Babalu Tapas & Tacos serves authentic, gourmet tacos and Latin inspired tapas with a southern twist. To learn more about Babalu Birmingham, visit their website.

Monday 31 July, 2017From July to November 1917, the British and their allies fought a battle against the Germans and their allies. 500,000 men were killed during this one campaign. Many of these ‘men’ were no older than teenagers. They died for the sake of a ridge of land and not some noble cause. One side sacrificed its young men in order to capture it and the other side to defend it. At Passchendaele in 1917, the heaviest rainfall for thirty years turned the ground into soft mud. These young men crawled on their stomachs in this mud and filth, each one trying to kill his counterparts on the opposing side. Those who glorify war should go and stand in one of the cemeteries so beautifully maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and see the tombstones which stretch out as far as the eye can see. If this does not convince people of the futility of war, and that humility is better than arrogance, then nothing will.

This is why the Holy Quran says: The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say words of peace. And further: Peace, a word from a Merciful Lord. When the fallen are remembered let us also remember these wise words and while praying for the fallen, let us not glorify the terrible carnage of the innocent which was WWI.

The Ahmadiyya Association for the Propagation of Islam (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam) was established in 1914 at Lahore to promote the informed understanding of Islam in the West. In the UK it operated the Shah Jehan Mosque in Woking until the early 1960s. Its new UK headquarters is at the above address. In 1924, it built the first mosque on the Continent at Berlin. This mosque is now recognised by the German government as part of the German national heritage. From its European and other centres around the world this organisation has taught that Islam promotes peace, harmony and mutual respect between all communities and nationalities.

Dr. Pollack on Cutting Edge of New Water Technology. Dr. Gerald Pollack and Sharon Kleyne Update Water Research.

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) July 31, 2017

Date aired: July 17th, 2017

Guest: Dr. Gerald H. Pollack, Ph.D.
http://www.faculty.washington.edu/ghp

Dr. Gerald H. Pollack, Ph.D., Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington joined water advocate Sharon Kleyne want to see a global commitment to new water research and new water technology and they want to see it now. International leaders in water research, Pollack and Kleyne agree that politicians and scientists are doing far too little to take care of diminishing supplies of fresh water on earth. “Too much of the water falling to earth as rain is running off to the oceans,” said Kleyne. “We just can’t afford that.”

Dr. Pollack referred to his own advanced research breakthrough discovery of a fourth phase of water. “We’ve known for a long time about the three phases of water—solid, liquid, vapor,” said Pollack. “The fourth phase is more like ice crystals, a kind of gel that doesn’t evaporate.” Kleyne speculated that this fourth phase of water is nature’s way of making sure that all of our water vapor never evaporates completely. Still, nature needs our help because we are using too much water and wasting too much water, too. “Water is essential,” Kleyne said. “In all its phases, it’s the best shield against the inception and spread of illness.”

Kleyne, founder of Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, repeated her favorite mantra that every living being is made of water. Water creates a shield against inflammation and disease. “You’re like a walking sponge,” Kleyne said. “Water vapor keeps you alive.” Kleyne urged everyone to slow down their body’s water evaporation by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water each day and learning to breathe properly. “Slow down the evaporation process,” she said. “Live longer. Be healthier.”

Dr. Pollack, Editor-in-Chief of WATER, heartily agreed. Author of The Fourth Phase of Water, Pollack said that “many people don’t understand this key point: water has energy, even the water in their bodies; and as one ages, one’s water vapor evaporates much more quickly.”

These facts coupled with the universal increase in disease encouraged Pollack and Kleyne to recast their call for more water research and advanced technology. Dr. Pollack pointed out that water research practically came to a screeching halt in the 1950s. Because of two scientific debacles, one in Russia and one in Australia, scientists around the world were encouraged to take up other research pursuits and no longer bank on water research. Dr. Pollack also referred to the rise of molecular biology as another factor keying a decline in water research. Researchers in molecular biology moved away from more holistic practices and became fascinated with small, molecular parts. “The result?” asked Pollack rhetorically. “Water was forgotten, and that, with the passage of time, appears to be a massive, life-threatening mistake.” Both researchers concluded that there is now a critical need for a new, global commitment to water research, water education and putting to work advanced water technology that would solve the inflammatory international water crisis.

Dether, the World’s First Peer-to-Peer Ether Network, Will Change the Game for Ethereum Mass Adoption

Monday 31 July, 2017Paris, France July 31, 2017—Powered by Ethereum smart contracts, Dether is a revolutionary new way for anyone on Earth to buy ether using cash and spend it at physical stores nearby. Unlike existing solutions, a user doesn't need a bank account, only a mobile phone with internet access.

While the Ethereum blockchain opens the doors to a trustless digital world where its applications don’t have any kind of censorship, fraud or third party interference, its hurdle is mass adoption. Buying ether is currently a long and difficult process. Dether wants to change that.

For the first time, a decentralized application (Dapp) is creating a worldwide ecosystem of ether buyers, sellers and physical stores willing to trade ether for fiat cash and accept it as a means of payment.

Creating a peer-to-peer bridge between fiat currency and Ethereum cryptocurrency

With Dether, any ether owner can become a teller and have an accessible way to make money. Ether sellers can become mobile ATMs by being on the Dether map and selling ether for fiat currency anywhere in the world at any time.

Users interested in buying ether can discover ether sellers near them on the Dether map, the app’s built-in location system. Users can view a seller’s ether/fiat rate and fees and chat anonymously via an encrypted peer-to-peer messaging solution to agree on the trading conditions and the meeting point to carry out the exchange.

On the Dether map, users can even locate physical stores that accept ether as a means of payment, or who wish to trade ether for cash. This represents a unique opportunity for merchants. As Ethereum popularity explodes across the globe, more and more businesses are accepting ether.

“Our mission is to break barriers to foster Ethereum mass adoption,” said Hamid Benyahia, Dether co-founder. Frustrated at the fact that his family members in Algeria, restricted by the Algerian dinar, weren’t able to interact with the Ethereum blockchain, he searched for a solution that would make Ethereum accessible to anyone on Earth. Dether was born.

A fully decentralized solution that brings more security to buyers and sellers

Unlike existing solutions, Dether has a technology roadmap that integrates different key elements of decentralization on each integrated feature, in order to propel Dether towards full decentralization. No central entity has any control over the user’s accounts, funds, conversations etc. Conversations are fully decentralized and peer-to-peer. No funds are held, and users are anonymous.

“From its outset, we envisioned and built Dether to be a fully decentralized solution,” said Mehdi Amari, Dether co-founder. “We strongly believe that having a trustless solution is the key to Dether’s success. Users must be able to exchange and trade with one another with trust, despite not knowing each other beforehand. In other words, we’ve decided to align our strategy with blockchain’s core principles, where the power of its users, and not a central entity, determines its success.”

Powered by Ethereum smart contracts, the reputation system is also fully decentralized. Buyers and sellers have their own public reputation rating based on the transactions they have successfully achieved and their volume of transactions.

From the Arab Spring to a decentralized peer-to-peer ether network.

“I remembered the huge demonstrations that happened in North Africa and the Middle East back in 2011. I thought that if these populations had had the chance back then to have a decentralized social network, for example, it would have prevented a lot of activists from going to prison, as they were constantly identified through social media. And when I look at all of the decentralized applications that are being developed on top of Ethereum, it only consolidates my initial idea that more and more people will use it, and that one of its challenges is mass adoption,” said Hamid.

For months, a team of eight Blockchain and Ethereum enthusiasts have been working on Dether. The team will release an alpha version this summer and is already looking for testers. Users will be able to create their Dether Wallet, communicate anonymously with each other and start trading together.

Manufacturer of Badger Balm and other personal care products joins leading natural-product companies in making meaningful commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Gilsum, New Hampshire (PRWEB) July 31, 2017

Further building upon its commitment to climate action, W.S. Badger Co. today announced that it became a signatory to the Climate Collaborative, a three-year project of OSC2 and the Sustainable Food Trade Association to catalyze bold action for climate action among natural products companies.

By becoming a signatory, Badger has joined the likes of Clif Bar, Stonyfield Farm, Dr. Bronner’s, New Hope, Annie’s, National Co+Op Grocers, White Wave and others pledging to help reverse climate change by focusing on one or more of nine emissions-reducing areas identified by the Collaborative. Those nine areas are agriculture, energy efficiency, food waste, forest conservation, packaging, government policy, renewable energy, transportation, and short-lived climate pollutants (such as methane).

“We have always taken our role in protecting the environment very seriously, but have often considered our actions an internal effort," says Rebecca Hamilton, family owner and VP of Research & Product Development at Badger. “In the wake of our country’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement, we now see that businesses have a responsibility to stand up and be vocal about our commitments. To inspire other to do the same, we are joining the leaders of our industry.”

According to the company’s recently published 2016 Impact Report, Badger is making considerable progress in reducing its carbon footprint. And as part of the work of crafting an impact plan and setting long-term climate goals, the company has committed to five of the nine climate initiatives, namely energy efficiency, policy, renewable energy, packaging, and forests.

Participating in the Climate Collaborative is a step forward in Badger’s ongoing journey to develop and implement robust and sustainable solutions that exceed expectations and achieve measurable results.

Climate Collaborative co-founder Nancy Hirshberg, a sustainability consultant who for more than two decades served as Stonyfield Farm’s VP of natural resources, says “The idea is not just to encourage organizations to pool their expertise and educational resources to accelerate progress toward a shared goal, but also to harness the power of peer-to-peer accountability. To that end, Climate Collaborative requires participating companies to report back on their emissions-reduction progress on an annual basis.”

Launched on March 8th at the Natural Products Expo West, held in Anaheim, California, the Climate Collaborative asks businesses to not only make a commitment to reverse climate action but also to document, measure, report, and share best practices in meeting the challenge of climate change. To date, more than 80 companies have signed on to the Climate Collaborative, and of those 80, a total of 329 commitments have been made.

When John Cushman was made aware of Buzz Pops by his longtime friend and partner, Kevin Fretz, CEO of Green Earthology, Inc., he knew he had no other choice but to reach out and solicit their help as a sponsor. The Buzz Pop philosophy and the company’s brand promise aligned so perfectly with both John’s as well as the ADA.

Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) July 31, 2017

When John Cushman was made aware of Buzz Pops by his longtime friend and partner, Kevin Fretz, CEO of Green Earthology, Inc., he knew he had no other choice but to reach out and solicit their help as a sponsor for the up and coming 3000-mile trek across America for Diabetes. The Buzz Pop philosophy and the company’s brand promise aligned so perfectly with both John’s as well as the ADA.

“Buzz Pop Cocktails uses only the freshest and most natural ingredients throughout its diverse product line and aligns so nicely with our cause and my walk so we are thrilled that they have agreed to form a partnership to make that happen together. With no added sugars or high fructose corn syrups as well as less than 10 net carbs I fell in love with this product immediately,” said Cushman.

In July 1977, John Cushman walked from New York’s Times Square to Mission Beach, San Diego, CA for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. John gained sponsorships from: 7-11, Adventure-16, Dean Photo, Jim Sporting Goods, KCBQ Radio, San Diego Union Tribune, and a promotion company. John’s walk goal was to arrive on Jerry Lewis Telethon Weekend, which he beat, as he arrived on Wednesday, August 31, 1977. John completed the walk in 49 Days, 6 Hours, 14 Minutes and raised $160,000 for Muscular Dystrophy on his 1977 Walk with only three days of serious advance planning. This would be the equivalent of $637,236 in 2017 dollars.

2017 marks the 40th anniversary of that 1977 Walk and John has decided the lace-up for another cause, the American Diabetes Association! John hopes that the 2017 Walk will raise funds for the American Diabetes Association to aid in their on-going research as well as the innovations which improve patient care. The 2017 Walk will also bring attention to organ donation, which is vital to those afflicted with the devastating long-term impact of diabetes. Follow John on Facebook and the Buzz Pop cocktails website, during his 2017 Walk for American Diabetes Association starting September 4, 2017 Labor Day from the Washington Monument to Mission Beach, San Diego, CA as John walks to raise not only funds for Diabetes research but also to raise awareness that 1 in every 3 Americans are impacted by Diabetes. http://www.johncushmanwalk2017.com

So, what made Buzz Pop Cocktails stand out from other seemingly viable sponsors to partner with for this amazing cause? Cushman’s team looked at so many entities but Buzz Pops aligned so well with the cause. Cushman quickly assessed Buzz Pops and concluded the product and the people made a great fit. Buzz Pop Cocktails are 100% all natural with no artificial flavors, colorings or added high fructose corn syrups and are fat free, under 100 calories, Vegan, Gluten free and are made with only fresh fruits whipped into the best Italian style sorbet West of Italy.

“We’re thrilled to be collaborating together for this great cause,” said Nancy Cushman, John’s sister and Executive Director of the John Cushman Walk 2017.

“We are excited and very humbled to be asked to participate in this cause to bring additional awareness to the problems associated with Diabetes as well as help John achieve his goals on the fundraising side,” said Buzz Pops CEO Joseph Isaacs. “Buzz Pops has been working with its partners at Green Earthology to develop 100% green push pop packaging, which will eliminate any plastic waste and help save the earth one Buzz Pop at a time,” he added.

Charges and counter charges flew in the Lok Sabha today over the issue of lynchings, with the Opposition parties targeting the Modi government and the ruling side asserting that it was the responsibility of the state governments to deal with such crimes.

As the House took up a discussion on the lynchings, members of all parties condemned the killings in the name of cow even as the Opposition parties like the Congress and Trinamool Congress accused the BJP-led government of encouraging groups behind the violence by cow vigilantes. The BJP, in turn, slammed the Opposition parties for targeting the central government over lynchings and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repeatedly come out strongly against such acts. The ruling party said "certain demons" have put on the "holy garb" to defame the government, likening it to an episode in the Ramayana, and asserted that the responsibility of containing mob violence is that of the state governments.

Initiating the discussion, Leader of the Congress Mallikarjun Kharge said 'Hindustan' should not be allowed to become "lynchistan". He alleged that this government was against minorities, Dalits and women, claiming that these sections had borne the maximum brunt of mob violence. The Prime Minister says he is against such violence but what action has he taken, Kharge asked and added, "He (PM) says something and does something else." He asked the government to give details of the action taken against the accused in these cases, claiming that they had become brazen because of lack of action. Citing a number of incidents this year to say that the lynchings had mostly happened in the BJP-ruled states, Kharge said there was an atmosphere of fear and terror across the country, which has brought a bad name to India in the world.

He accused organisations like the VHP and Bajrang Dal of being involved in such violence. "It is also being done so that your ideology and philosophy could be established in the country," the Congress leader said, pointing to the BJP's "links" with these outfits. BJP-ruled Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh had become centres of mob lynching, he said, adding that such incidents would become a major threat to the nation's integrity. Referring to the murder of a BJP worker in Kerala, he said the Governor there summoned the DGP on the issue, but nothing of that sort was done in other states where lynching incidents took place.

BJP members objected to Kharge citing incidents, saying many of the cases he was referring to were sub-judice. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar also objected to his reference to former President Pranab Mukherjee's speech, saying it was against rules. Kumar said action had been taken against the hooliganism which had taken place in the name of cow protection. Countering Kharge's onslaught against the government, BJP leader Hukumdev Narayan Yadav said, "Some people are indulging in terror (atankvadi) activities to defame the government." He slammed the Congress for questioning the intention of the Modi government and asserted that the responsibility of containing mob violence is that of the state governments.

Yadav, the MP from Madhubani in Bihar, said a fight between two ideologies has been going on for several decades and said that those who follow the path of "economic development and nationalism" will come out victorious.
During his speech, he extensively quoted Deen Dayal Upadhyaya and said the BJP ideologue had stated that "Muslims in India are descendants of Hindus." He said every Muslim must respect Hindu sentiment and at the same time, Hindus must respect the Muslims. Talking about nationalism, Yadav said freedom fighters Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan had sung the poem 'Vande Mataram' but there is an environment now in which singing it is considered a crime.

While targeting the Opposition, the BJP MP drew the attention of the House towards the 1984 anti-Sikh riots after the assassination of Indira Gandhi and raised the issue of killing of RSS workers in Left-ruled Kerala. Sougata Roy of Trinamool Congress quoted the findings of a magazine to say that between 2010-2017 there were 63 incidents of mob violence in the name of cow protection. He demanded a separate law -- "Manav Suraksha Kanoon" (human protection law) -- to deal with incidents of lynching, arguing that the Criminal Procedure Code and Indian Penal Code do not define lynching. "The government keeps saying it wants Congress-free India, I want to ask, do you want to make a Muslim-free India as well," Roy said, provoking protests from BJP members. Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju objected to Roy's remarks, saying that TMC MP should not mislead the House and should specify on what basis he is giving the data.

Roy said that cow-related killings are all "targeted killings" and accused workers of VHP, Bajrang Dal and local cow vigilantes of leading the mob violence. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar and S S Ahluwalia objected to the use of a word by Roy which was immediately expunged by Deputy Speaker M Thambi Durai. Heated exchanges also broke out between Ahluwalia and BJP MPs on one side and Kalyan Banerjee and other TMC MPs on the other. Roy sarcastically also remarked that a missing case has been registered in Darjeeling against a BJP MP, an apparent reference to Ahluwalia who represents the Lok Sabha seat.
Ahluwalia responded by saying, "I am standing right in front of you.... How can I be missing?

Roy referred to the killing of Mohammad Akhlaq, Pehlu Khan and Junaid Khan and said it took long time for the state and central governments to condemn such lynching incidents.
He maintained that the Prime Minister has made "just two statements" -- one in 2016 and the other a few days ago -- and asked, "Why did it take him so long?" The Trinamool leader said "very few cases" of bovine related cases occur in the eastern India in Bengal and Odisha.  "Why is this not being controlled? Because top BJP leaders were shy of condemning it."

LJP leader and Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said the Opposition was attacking the Modi government for the responsibilities to be fulfilled by the states. To opposition demand of bringing in a new law to deal with lynchings, Paswan said even such a law will have to be implemented by the states. "Do you want the Centre to intervene whenever states do not fulfil their responsibilities?.... Should the Centre send Army to handle the situation," he asked the Opposition. He said while Modi has condemned such incidents, the then Prime Minister (Rajiv Gandhi) during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots had remarked "when a big tree falls, the earth does shake".
He said in the past three years, Modi has not spoken on Ram Janmabhoomi or Uniform Civil Code or Babri Masjid or Article 370.

Paswan suggested that at the end of this discussion, the House should together condemn such lynching incidents and appeal all political parties and chief ministers to investigate such cases wthin 24 hours and a murder case should be lodged against the guilty. Attacking the main opposition party, he quipped, "The Congress party has one leg in the grave." He said the Congress party has only the cow vigilantism issue to raise as the NDA government has got rid of corruption and focussed on development.

Kharge said the discussion is about what has happened under the present government and answers should be given for that rather than talk about 1984 issues which the House had already discussed.
BJD leader Tathagat Satpathy said every Indian is precious and if it is not, then "we are criminals". He said rural economy is getting damaged by incidents of lynching as an economic cycle has been stopped. "By lynching movement... you will eventually kill Hindu farmers," Satpathy said. Elaborating, he said Hindu farmers sell the cows and bullocks when they become useless whereas now the buyers have stopped going to villages.
The BJD leader suggested that each MP should take care of two pairs of bullocks and said he tells farmers in his constituency that they can take their cows and bullocks to houses of BJP workers.

"We shall remain united for India, not for someone's idea of unification," he said. Samajwadi patriach Mulayam Singh Yadav said discrimination is happening on various grounds, religion, caste, language and region, and wanted it to end. The atrocities committed against women, especially against wives in families, should be stopped, he said. In a lighter vein, the veteran leader wondered how many of the Parliamentarians are suppressing their wives, eliciting laughter from the members present in the House. K Gopal (AIADMK) said beef issue has become a polarising subject and emphasised that it is everybody's collective responsibility to ensure harmony in the society.
There should not be any discrimination against SC/ST people, he added.

The Academy for Coaching with Horses announces the 3rd Annual Coaching with Horses Retreat and Conference to be held in Tucson, Arizona next January 2018. Designed for those wanting to explore the Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching (EFLC) field, expand their knowledge, or just looking to find their place with Horse, the ACWH Retreat and Conference will be an intimate gathering offering a significant amount of hands on time with horses.

Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) August 01, 2017

The Academy for Coaching with Horses, the premier Equine Facilitated Learning facility in Colorado, founded by Kathy Pike, international author of Hope from the Heart of Horses: How Horses Teach Us about Presence, Strength and Awareness, has just announced the 3rd Annual Coaching with Horses Retreat and Conference to be held in Tucson, Arizona in January 2018.

Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching, often abbreviated EFLC, is based in the belief that the intuitive and sentient nature of Horse gives them an innate ability to help people connect to their most authentic selves. Horses are highly influenced by the subtle, nearly imperceptible changes in body language, mental state and feelings within humans, enabling them to act as a mirror and give honest insights into the human psyche.

"Horses, long perceived to be unintelligent beasts of burden and serving man through the primary use of their physical body, now are emerging, in an ever so timely way, to provide man the opportunity to raise consciousness and embrace the connectivity shared by all living beings and mother earth. Through this process a human's life is expanded into desires of service and creativity otherwise dormant and deserted by the demands of the fast-paced life our technological culture stimulates."– Kathy Pike, Founder of The Academy for Coaching with Horses

Once a relatively unknown field, coaching with horses, which differs from equine therapy, has grown rapidly over the past several years with an increased demand for information and education about this new, and very effective field. Kathy Pike has gathered a talented and experienced group of Equine Assisted Learning professionals to offer a wide variety of educational sessions along with like-minded community and other equine activities for the 3rd Annual Coaching with Horses Retreat and Conference in Tucson, Arizona.

“It’s amazing how horses open your heart and create this opportunity for a deeper connecting with yourself and other human beings as well. You and your team were holding the space with honour, respect and vulnerability. What a great group of women all together.” – Piri, from Canada at the 2017 Academy for Coaching with Horses Retreat and Conference

The Academy for Coaching with Horses offers various Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching Certification Programs, as well as programs for people in transition, corporations looking for team building and leadership skill development, people on a spiritual path and those looking to deepen their relationship with Horse. The 2018 Academy for Coaching with Horses Retreat and Conference is an intimate gathering offering a significant amount of hands on time with horses and ideal for those wanting to explore this field, expand their knowledge, or just looking to find their place with Horse.

The World War II veteran and amateur astronomer was devastated when his friends raved about experiencing a pitch-dark sky in the middle of the day. Up to 100,000 people are expected to flock to the town and surrounding Jefferson County for the Aug. 21 event, creating worries about overcrowding and traffic. The elder Brick got the last four credits he needed for his high school diploma by signing up for the U.S. Navy and never attended college — but even in his 90s, he's studying particle physics. The pair decided to build the telescope when the younger Brick was 14, after finding a piece of glass in his late grandfather's garage that was hand-ground into a concave lens for a telescope. Gene Brick worked long, hard days cutting logs at the mill then stayed up into the night working on the project with his teenage son. The two dragged the telescope outside on the night they finished, aimed it toward the heavens by propping it on a stepladder, and peered into the night sky until they spied the Ring Nebula, a dying star in a constellation about 2,000 light years from Earth.
