cbicho@landingsgroup.comHeart Rate Variability (HRV) is the variability between successive heartbeats over a period of time. Heart rate measures the average number of beats per minute, HRV concerns the intervals between each beat. HRV provides a quantitative measure of the interactive health of the nervous system and brain.
A healthy nervous system allows the other systems in the brain to function at an optimal level promoting cognitive, emotional, social, and physical health and wellness.

Every now and then, an article appears, patronisingly explaining to all adults why there is a debate over music in the church, and, in under 400 words, telling us how to resolve it. It all comes down to preferences and styles, you see. Well, obviously we didn’t see, hence the recurrent need for these profoundly enlightening articles.
Now once again, for those of us who read stop-signs with our lips moving, articles like this really break it down for us. Traditional churches are those who love “older” hymns, and seem to have a ‘concern with reverence’. Older folks typically prefer these churches or services, you see. Contemporary churches or services are more casual and relaxed, but they’re “more intentional”, than traditional churches. The musical style is ‘blended’. Oh, and they want to be passionately expressive in the lyrics. And then, nudge, nudge – most are going this way, except the few of you who wish to be left behind. But, don’t worry, you can stay in the 1960s, if you want to. No prob. It’s your choice. No pressure. Those actually interested in ‘engaging their communities’ will be contemporary. And then, here comes the illuminating flash of wisdom that some of us just can’t seem to get- truth is taught only in words, not in music. Really, it’s no big deal, folks.
Traditional churches are those who expound the Word in a way that seems to be concerned with reverence. The language used tends to be sober, the vocabulary more exacting, the sentence structure more formal, and the whole approach represents a way of speaking that was found in speeches, letters and essays several decades ago. They are very concerned with trying to communicate the gravity and seriousness of God’s revelation, with preciseness. Contemporary churches expound the Word in a far more relaxed way, using colloquialisms, slang, plenty of like, y’know, sorta. It’s more of a conversation. It reflects how the average man speaks, and does not speak above him. It is more intentional, wanting to engage a man where he is. It’s, like, more expressive. And just so you know, the man in the street prefers the contemporary “style” of preaching. It’s where things are going. You can stick to your old-fashioned ways of speaking, preaching to your shrinking groups of gray-heads, or you can loosen up and, like, dialogue, man. Because, for the umpteenth time, folks, the style of preaching does not affect the meaning of what’s preached. The truth is in the words, not in the vocabulary. The truth is in the words, not in the sentences. The truth is is the words, not in the tone of voice. Rhetoric is just a “style”, and enlightened Christians don’t make style an issue (though they know which style represents the real future of a growing church).
Would the proponents of the gravity of preaching (and I am one of them) nod approvingly at that paragraph? Why then do the same men, conscious of the form in which the Word is to be preached, become dismissive and agnostic when it comes to the form in which the Word is to be sung?
Windows let in light and improve the ambiance of your home, but they’re one of the least energy-efficient parts of your property. While it’s hard to imagine a home without windows since they provide important safety protection and improved lighting, windows do allow quite a bit of air to leak out. As much as 25% of a home’s energy is lost through the windows. In the winter when you’re working hard to keep your home warm and toasty, what can you do to stop this energy loss? Window treatments can help, if you shop carefully for the right ones. Here are some ways you can use your window treatments to stop heat loss and keep your home cozy throughout the winter season.
Cellular shades are window shades that have a honeycomb pattern. This shape traps air within the pockets created, preventing it from transferring through the window. This creates an added barrier between your home, the window, and the outside air. These shades have been around since the 1970s, but many people don’t realize they are actually a very energy-efficient option. Shades with two cells work even better than shades with one, but both are quite effective.
Drapes add a sense of fashion to your window, and they can help block heat loss or heat gain. By closing your drapes at night when you are more likely to lose heat out of the windows, then opening them during the day to let the sun naturally warm your home, you can increase your home’s energy efficiency significantly. Drapes can reduce heat loss by as much as 10%, and they also add an elegant look to your space.
Shutters aren’t just for the outside of your home. They can also be used on the interior as a window covering. Shutters create fewer gaps than traditional blinds, helping to trap air before it reaches your home. This can help keep the cold air outside where it belongs. Shutting the shutters at night will help keep the temperature inside your home more comfortable. In the morning after the air has had a chance to warm from the sun, open them to let in the light and warmth.
A final option to consider is Roman shades. When made from thick enough material, these fabric shades can block the unwanted cold from entering your home. Of course, they only work when closed fully, but they provide the freedom to open just a portion at a time to add some protection while also allowing some sunlight in.
During the winter, you’re going to find that your windows are the biggest source of drafts and other problems. By paying attention to your window coverings, you can take charge of the warmth and comfort of your home.

When it comes to these things, people often think that certified bookkeepers or BAS agents in Melbourne are the same people. Although they may work in the same lane, there is still a difference between these two.
