Nicole: So Rita and I talk about what is hypnosis and it is not making you do something that you don't want to do, like the tea cup and get out also how hypnosis works to help with smoking cessation. It actually works much faster than I realized. She talks about the important mindset shifts that need to happen in order to really make any habit change. Who's a good candidate for hypnosis, whether it's smoking cessation or weight reduction, what should someone look for in a hypnotherapist and much, much more. There is a lot to learn in this episode, whether you smoke or not. I know I learned a lot that I didn't know you will too. Now, before we get into the episode, let me do a listener shout out. This is to Alison Kingsley and the title of the review says building my confidence, knowledge and readiness for baby.
Nicole: Number one, the review says stumbled across this podcast when seeking additional education on certain aspects of childbirth. And at week 28, I am feeling confident, empowered, and a lot more ready for my natural birth than what I would have been without many of Dr. Rankins' podcast. There's truly an episode for every expecting mother, every birth partner or woman interested in the different aspects and avenues of birth. Although she is not my personal doctor, I feel so much more prepared when having discussions with my midwives and I'm eternally grateful for this podcast and all the gems she drops for us for free. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for starting the show and empowering women throughout the years. Well, thank you so much, Alison, for that lovely, lovely kind review. I so appreciate you taking the time to leave me that delightful message. Now you mentioned that the podcast was free and other great report.
Nicole: Great free resource that I have is my free online class on How To Make A Birth Plan That Works. A lot of people don't realize that a birth plan is just really so much more than that piece of paper that you bring to the hospital. That's actually like the worst way, for lack of a better way of saying it to do a birth plan. Making a birth plan really needs to be about a process where you decide what you want for your birth. And you talk about that with your providers and you understand how the hospital approaches birth to make sure that all of those important factors are on the same page and ready to support you in what you want for your birth in the context of your own unique pregnancy circumstances. So in this free one-hour class, I give you questions to ask so that you can go through that process and learn how to make a birth plan that works. You can sign up for the class, drnicolerankins.com/register it is offered several times a day, on-demand. And here's the secret inside of that free class. There's a special discount that is unlocked on the Birth Preparation Course, which is my signature online childbirth education class. So that is another reason to go through the free class to check it out again. It's drnicolerankins.com/register. All right, let's get into the episode with Rita Black.
Nicole: This class is one that you must take before you write a single word of your birth plan. It's drnicolerankins.com/register it is completely free. You got no excuse not to take it, take it. All right. So that's it for this episode do come on back next week. And until then, I wish you a beautiful pregnancy and birth.

Predictable or not Geoff Dyer's new book, "Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It" (2003), has absolutely nothing to do with yoga, and everything to do with people who can't be bothered to do it. Of course, this is merely one of many readings. However abstract or varied the content of this travel memoir, "Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It" will definitely have you laughing out loud. What an amazing storyteller. After this read, it is easy to understand why some critics pronounce Dyer as, "assuredly among the funniest writers alive" or "quite possibly the best living writer in Britain." This, however, seems quite funny since it appears that Dyer lives everywhere but Britain.
The first five stories are significantly different from the second five stories and the eleventh story stands on its own as a kind of hybrid revelation based on the preceding ten stories. In the first half of the memoir, nothing can bring down Dyer's attitude on life; the tone is very uplifting and comical. Sometimes it appears that he's just floating along, taking things as they come. He doesn't seem to have any particular goal or direction; he's not on a mission to enlighten the world (or is he?) and it doesn't appear that he is "on the job" anywhere. It seems that Dyer is just hanging out. In a lot of ways, the laid back, relaxed content is therapeutic reading, especially for those who will never achieve the kind of lifestyle that Dyer displays. Its good to know that there are people hanging out in the world, taking it all in, contemplating the little and big things, and then expressing the process in a work of art. Personally, it makes me feel a little more comfortable with reality.
The narrative itself progresses from a fairly-standard novel form to chapters that defy genre lines. Several of these are one paragraph snippets titled "Lost in Translation: Rocky Tells Elvis a Filipino Joke" and "Lost in Translation: Another Filipino Joke." These chapters provide insight into the characters' relationships as well as cultural background. The third piece of this series "Joke Not so Lost in Translation" reads as the following in its entirety: "Why did the Filipino cross the road? Because he thought America was on the other side." This "joke" becomes one of the driving forces in the book-a search for the fundamental essence of America and for what America means for characters like Rocky and Elvis who find themselves displaced within it. While all of the characters in the Gangster of Love must settle for themselves how they choose to fit into their new homeland, the portrayal of Rocky's mother, Milagros, is one of tenacity and high adaptability. She quickly learns how she can keep those things that are precious to her cultural heritage-like her favorite dish of Lumpia-but how she can also capitalize on them:
Hello everyone. For this blog post I'm going to explain how the episode galleries work when it comes to submitting episode screenshots. Galleries is a big deal for this wiki and we currently have a total of three users who already finish adding HQ screenshots for one or more episode galleries so far: me, Furryball (who is inactive), LoudBlueberries, Grsaar11, Riverheart248, HypedHypnos (who is inactive) and Watch tlg. If you're interested in helping out with the galleries, please read this carefully to avoid breaking any of the Wiki regulations/rules.
The summer outing is urged by honest doctors, with the admission thatchange of air and scene is oftentimes worth more than all the nostrumsdoled out over apothecaries' counters. Motion is nature's firstinexorable law. A tiny drop of water is pressed between two plates ofglass, apparently rendering the slightest motion impossible. Themicroscope fills it with scores or hundreds of beings full of life andenergy, disporting in pleasure or waging deadly battle. Around us andabout us nothing is still. The grasses grow in refreshing green andspring beneath the feet, but ere the wane of day, wither and crackleunder the tread. Flowers bloom in beauty and within the hour fade inugliness. The rock ribs of earth expand and contract under tidalcommands of sun and moon, and continents lift from, or are sinkingbeneath briny oceans.
The Socialists say the Nation should own the land. To a certain degreethe Socialists are right. The fountain of land ownership is in theGovernment. It should maintain such ownership to a certain extentthroughout all time. "The earth is the Lord's and the fullnessthereof." Government is and should be the lord of the domain, andshould never part with such control as may prevent private owners fromdestroying the land which is to be the heritage of the people to thelatest generation. It should forbid and prevent a waste of land. Tothis end it should force the husbanding of all resources for theimprovement of that which is to support the people for all time. Noprivate owner should be allowed to destroy wantonly that which comesfrom mother earth. What comes from the bosom of the land, and is notessential to feed and maintain the cultivator, should be given back toit. A man should be fined who burns manure. Man should not cut timberto such an extent as to reduce a necessary rainfall. Commissionersshould determine from scientific data, how much of forest is necessaryin fixed districts of the country, and when so determined no one shouldbe permitted to cut a tree without replacing it by a young one. In theOld World millions of acres are now worthless which once supportedteeming populations; all because they have been denuded of trees.Nearly all European countries as well as India are now, and have beenfor some years, earnestly endeavoring to check this evil. Commissionersof Forestry, earnest and educated men, have been appointed. Schools ofForestry are fostered by the state. The betterment has been so marked,that the ordinary pleasure seeking traveler sees a wonderful changebetween visits separated by twenty or thirty years. America hascountless millions of acres scarcely capable of supporting a humanbeing, which could be made to wave in cereals or grow fat in edibleroots, if only trees were grown to induce a somewhat regular rainfall.
