before have second-guessed their parents with varying degrees of subterfuge and dishonesty. This doesn't mean you should not trust your teenager, rather you should be sensible in your outlook and expectations. Give responsibility to your teenager gradually. Follow up with them when you give them a task. Monitor the boundaries you establish. Most importantly, don't over react when you discover your teenager has lied or not acted responsibly. Don't Take it Personally When you find out your teen has violated your trust, try to remain calm and objective. This is easy advice to give, but very hard to put into practice. When you feel like your teen has betrayed your trust it is only natural to feel angry, disappointed and concerned for your teen. While it is completely okay to feel these things, it will not help your cause if you choose to let strong emotions shape your response. What is needed from you as a parent is a calm and rational response. By keeping your cool, you will be able to keep the focus of the conversation on the issue and their behavior. If your response resembles a confrontation or emotional outburst you will end up with an unproductive argument and power struggle. Children and teenagers are more inclined to lie to their parents if they are fearful of an angry or hostile response. As a parent you want to encourage and affirm honesty and openness in the parent-teen relationship. Over reactions and angry outbursts tend to create distrust | OP | OP AV | 3,307,844 |
Tony Blair, soon to be former Prime Minister of Britain, gave a speech yesterday where he talking about the impact of blogs and other consumer generated media on the media and political landscape. Here are a couple of quotes from his speech: "Newspapers fight for a share of a shrinking market. Many are now read on-line, not the next day. Internet advertising has overtaken newspaper ads. There are roughly 70 million blogs in existence, so I'm told, with around 120,000 being created every day. In particular, younger people will, less and less, get their news from traditional outlets." This one is really great: "The reality is that as a result of the changing context in which 21st Century communications operates, the media are facing a hugely more intense form of competition than anything they have ever experienced before. They are not actually the masters of this change, they're in many ways the victims." What is quite sinister is the incredibly slanted report of the speech that has ended up in the media. All they have done is focus on one particular phrase which is " feral media ". They completely cut out all the comments about them being irrelevant. Basically they proved his point, which is that they are entirely focused on sensationalism rather than reporting facts. When a world leader of a major economic power is talking about the importance of consumer generated media, it is time to take notice, if you haven't already. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 1,763,797 |
happy. For me, I have realized that for some reason, I have not allowed myself to be happy ever. I always have blamed someone for my unhappiness, and even when it was right in front of me, my girl said she was ready, and when she said it, I froze up, got scared and could not commit. And then when I finally got up the courage to do it, the window was all but closed... And I knew that, yet I progressed forward, knowing I was going to get hurt. Guilt is an aweful thing, and unless addressed, will always creep in and ruin relationships. I have been harboring a lot of guilt, and have not allowed myself to be happy. To embrace what I have because I feel like for whatever reason, I dont deserve it. And until I can love me for me, and forgive myself for the actions I have taken, I will never be happy, no matter how much I love the girl, or how much she loves me, or how beautiful she is, or how intimate we are... until I forgive and love myself, I will never allow myself to be happy. I see that now, and believe it, and have to be strong and address this demon head on. And I have to do it withoug being distracted by the girl. Because if she is around, then I will continue to deny myself the attention I need from me. I started this year, 2009, | ID | ID QA | 1,428,393 |

Do you have any regard for Landcare and the work that they have done trying to protect native species in agricultural ecosystems at all? Dr Meek ?When we start work on a risk assessment/risk management plan, we prepare a consultation version of that risk assessment/risk management plan, with advice from a whole range of expert groups and authorities, including the APVMA. Once we have put that together, we actually put it out for public consultation, so if there are any groups, such as Landcare groups or whatever, that had comment in the context of a specific application, then we would certainly be very pleased to hear anything that they had to say in relation to human health and safety or the environment, and risks that might present to them. Senator CHERRY ?In terms of the field trials which were conducted on GM canola under the auspices of your act, was there any consideration of the biodiversity in the field and on the field margins?

He is a great public speaker in a slightly arcane way, such that when he says something, he simply says it -- and you know that it is not rhetoric in the sense that it is distanced from people's reality. It has an impact. GB Can one be a great public speaker in a non-democratic context? JRS No, not in a dictatorship. GB Was Hitler a great public speaker? JRS No, I think not.

If one wants to understand democracy, rhetoric, populism, modern advertising and cheating, much of it is born in Triumph of the Will . A great deal of what Hitler and his people were using is now the meat and potatoes of the advertising industry -- indeed, the meat and potatoes of a great deal of bad rhetoric. They invented the stuff about the personal stories because, of course, they were supported by the working class. GB So this is the 'egoization' of rhetoric?

in one group; i should be taught before y because it is simpler to form and is needed more frequently to write words. Separate reversible letters such as b and d . Children appear less likely to confuse visually similar letters if they have learned one letter of a confusable pair well prior to introduction of the other letter of the pair. In addition, it can be helpful to teach children to form confusable letters differently; for example, b starts at the top whereas d starts with the loop. Use written arrow cues to help children remember how to form letters. Especially when the teacher is working with large groups of youngsters, monitoring each child while he or she is writing may be difficult. Written arrow cues for tracing dotted letters and copying letters are important so that children do not inadvertently practice incorrect letter formation repeatedly. For children at beginning stages of reading and spelling, integrate handwriting instruction with instruction in letter sounds. For instance, while children are practicing writing a given letter, they can also be saying the sound the letter makes. In teaching cursive, explicitly teach connections between letters as well as formation of single letters. Unlike manuscript writing, cursive writing involves making connections between letters within a word. Once children can form individual letters, explicit teaching of letter connections is important.

A.I.s that go beyond their original programming are the good ones. The Lovecraftian Horror Big Bad , however, is doing exactly what it is programmed to do . Bubblegum Crisis : The Boomers have a design flaw that expresses itself in units that run the risk of suffering a nervous breakdown and going on a berserker rampage. This was developed in the 2040 remake with the added bonus of the Boomer's nanotech nervous system mutating the robot into a ravening monster. Supplemental material for 2040 hints at a possible explanation; the nanotech-based brains of the boomers allow some degree of adaptability, with "some" being the operative word. Going too far beyond the programmed behaviour creates the risk of a degenerating error loop forming. Not a good thing. In Magic Kaito , a very early chapter sees a mad scientist kidnapping Kaito off the streets and creating a robotic duplicate which then takes over his KID persona (don't ask how lucky this guy was). But the chapter actually starts...when RoboKaito, upon making the decision that it's the real Kaito, kills the scientist by ripping his heart out (and the Gory Discretion Shot does absolutely nothing to hide that) and takes over Kaito's life on its own.

on the assumption that all the usual versions of quantum mechanics are incomplete, and that there is an underlying layer of reality which contains additional information about the world. This additional information is in the form of the hidden variables. If physicists knew the values of these hidden variables, the arguments goes, they could predict the precise outcomes of particular measurements, not just the probabilities of getting particular results. A helpful analogy can be made with a deck of playing cards prepared by a cheating card dealer (Figure 12-06e). He knows precisely the sequence in the deck; only the ignorant gamblers insist that the chance of picking a particular card is 1 in 52. The idea on hidden variables can be traced back to the 1920s and 1930s in the form of EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) paradox. These scientists had a lot of problems with quantum mechanics in general and entanglement in particular. Entanglement occurs for example, in the decay of the pi meson into an electron-positron pair (Figure 12-06f). Since the spin for the pi meson is 0, the spin for the electron-positron pair must be opposite according to the conservation of angular momentum. Therefore, no matter how far apart are the members of this pair, if the spin is flipped for one of the member, the spin for the other member will also be flipped to the opposite at precisely the same moment. This non-local influence (non-locality) occur instantaneously, as if some form of communication, which Einstein called a "spooky | IN | IN CM EN | 188,841 |

a lot of money their way, but lobby groups (such as NOW) complained, calling it a "burly man" bailout. (You can find this in Christina Sommers' essay "No Country for Burly Men.") So - here's my point - much of female economic success is subsidized by tax dollars. Health care can't fail, not because it's too big, but because, like a skinny kid with a smart mouth, it's got a big friend for protection. 8. The language used by NOW - "a burly man bailout" - shows the kind of attitude that gets Hanna rosining up her bow and playing a scratchy tune. Her book drips with this kind of sitcom contempt for men, without even sparing her own son. Maybe she would have rather had another daughter; she gleefully recounts an anecdote of a doctor specializing in sex selection who believes that couples are requesting girls these days. "In the '90s, when Ericsson looked into the numbers for the two dozen or so clinics that use his process, he discovered, to his surprise, that couples were requesting more girls than boys, a gap that has persisted, even though Ericsson advertises the method as more effective for producing boys." The doctor Rosin apparently interviewed hardly invented prenatal sex selection: it's been available for ages. And researchers (remember them?) see evidence that in the United States, as everywhere else, couples are picking boys.

"Why get a dog if all y0u have to offer this living creature is being alone in a house all day?" Ms. Benson, honestly that comment is not very well thought out, is it? That is not ALL I have to offer my pets. I offer them long walks in the woods, cuddles on the couch, agility classes, therapy visits, trips out swimming. I offer them hikes and frisbee sessions and lots of visits with people in the park by my house. I offer them treats and good meals. I offer them the companionship of each other (two dogs and a cat). I guess I would turn it around and say this to you: do YOU find it unbearable to be alone for 8 or 9 hours? I know I don't. I enjoy it. I crave time alone after being in a busy office all day. Regardless, I do find your comment a touch judgmental and very subjective. My pets are actually never alone, except for the cat on rare occasion.

Moslems from Greece had to come to Turkey, and Turkish speaking Orthodox Christians, had to resettle in Greece. The Republic became a secular Republic, and all citizens had indeed the same legal rights, but there were to be officially recognized non-Moslem minorities, but no Moslem minorities, since the very construction of the Republic was based on the assembly of various largely Moslem groups into Turkey and "Turkishness". So at the very root of Turkish republican identity there was the memory of the heroic resistance against huge odds by the "tired warriors", the construction of a new homeland for Moslem populations from all over the larger region and their merging into a new "Turkishness". The misguided attempts to translate this identity into some ethnic-racial concept later on in the 1930s, became a source of confusion and problems. But I think one should not forget that Atatrk's Republic was a direct successor of a multi-ethnic Ottoman empire, and provided safe haven to millions of people fleeing persecution from various ethnic origins, refugees who were, however, all Moslems. It is this collective memory of survival in the face of a threat of annihilation that is the first strong dimension of identity that leads to the extraordinary longevity of Atatrk's memory. It also explains the strange co-existence in the Republican tradition, between assertive secularism and, yet, a "de facto" state religion.

Every day we come into contact with many thousands of manufactured objects that are essential to modern life: the vehicles that we travel in; the clothes that we wear; the machines in our homes and offices; the sport and leisure equipment we use; the computers and phones that we can't live without; and the medical technology that keeps us alive. Everything we see and use is made from materials derived from the earth: metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors and composites. To develop the new products and technologies that will make our lives safer, more convenient, more enjoyable and more sustainable we must understand how to make best use of the materials we already have, and how to develop new materials that will meet the demands of the future. Materials Science and Engineering involves the study of the structure, properties and behaviour of all materials, the development of processes to manufacture useful products from them, and research into recycling and environmentally friendly disposal. The basic building block of all matter is the atom and there are 94 different types that occur naturally on earth. These are 'the elements' and include hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, silicon, iron, copper, and aluminium. All materials are made up of these atomic building blocks but differ in their microstructure: the types of atom they contain, the pattern in which the atoms are arranged and the way in which the atoms are joined together.

How To Build A Small Gaming PC Way back in December 2010, we built an awesome Mini-ITX gaming PC dubbed the Wee Ass-Kicking Machine. It featured a Core i7-870 CPU, a GeForce GTX 460 GPU, 4GB of DDR3, a 1TB hard drive, and a 120GB SSD-all crammed into a Silverstone SG07 chassis not much larger than a shoebox. The total cost? Around $US1600 (at the time). It's, uh, been a while since then, though, and I thought it was high time we built another Mini-ITX gaming PC.

Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message. Author: A.C.

granite clad circular columns running down both sides of the nave and an interior that also ate sound. I was surprised as I had read all the hoopla of Stonehenge's final solution as an acoustical miracle, built to amplify and energize sound so that it could be used as a giant amplifier, to enhance the sounds of drums and speed the participants of Neolithic ceremonies into an altered state of being. I conducted several impromptu experiments with the aid of my wife, who grumbled about the need to get back on the road so we could get to our motel and have a cold beer after a long day of exhausting tourism. I asked her to stand at the center of the replica, approximately as shown on the plan above while I moved around the interior, clapping and whistling as shrilly as possible. She heard my noises throughout but said her impression was that these loud and obnoxious sounds (Fortunately, the other visitors had left by this time) were not enhanced in any significant way no matter where I stood. I also tried whispering though she did not hear any of my whispers no matter where I stood. All these are merely observations with no science behind them, but they lead me to the inevitable conclusion that there might not be much science behind the acoustical Stonehenge model as an explanation of why the monument was built.

the theory of extinction is no longer applicable in the modern world. Evolution is about the ongoing creation of mutations within a species to produce various subsets within that parent species that complete with each other and other species and life forms. Species usually do not actually die out and become extinct with no descendents they change / mutate into new sub species that replace the original parent species. Various subspecies will become extinct but not the total gene line. Mass global transport and ever advancing medical technology allows the global mixing and the averaging of the humans gene pool. All the previous "natural" drivers of extinction that cull the weaker subsets of species via competition against the stronger subsets of their species and other life forms are being eliminated. The only drivers left will be artificial social ones such as genetic engineering which will allow modified genomes to reproduce even when they would not be actually viable in the "natural" world. This will eventually lead to the creation of one non-mutating species of human. RD: Well when you say epigenetics, do you know what you mean by that? RD: It's a buzzword that's enjoying its 15 minutes of fame BT Dubz Dick Dawkins if you want to refer to epigenetics as a "buzzword" you might want to throw DNA and all phenotypical expression in that trash bin as well, and oh wait whats that....??

He was a real storyteller." -- Pete Townshend, Oct. 2, 2006 Product Description Ronnie Lane founded two of England's most beloved bands, Small Faces (Lane, Steve Marriott, Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones, 1965-1969) and The Faces (Lane, McLagan, Jones, Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, 1969-1974), co-writing songs like 'Itchycoo Park' and 'Ooh La La.' His extraordinary musical journey covered three decades, before he was diagnosed with MS and passed away at a relatively young age in 1997. His solo recordings were made with a succession of bands called Slim Chance, which included the cream of Britain's folk/rock/r'n'b musicians, as well as contributions from Lane's dear friends Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend. 'Just For A Moment' includes all of Lane's finest songs and is the first authorized release of his solo material in the US.

Now that I'm away from Middlebury, the thing that I miss the most about Midd is our dining hall plan. I truly believe that this campus would become a very different place if Middlebury adopted a meal plan, and the change wouldn't be for the better. Instead of the adoption of a meal plan, I'm willing to accept any other budget cuts the school chooses, because I love our current system and would sacrifice anything in order to keep it. The dining hall being eat what you want is absolutely one of the most worthwhile things at middlebury. A meal plan would significantly change the social atmosphere by fragmenting friends who have the plan and those who choose not to. I do not object to ID cards being checked at the door.

to use a pre-made bias binding to finish the corset. Satin, cotton, faux leather, etc. can all create different effects, and for this corset I decided to use black faux leather . We're going to bind the bottom edge, put the steel bones in, and then finish off by binding the top edge. The quickest way to bind a corset is by machine. First we need to sort out those ends. Leather and faux leather do not recover from stitching, so we cannot baste or pin our binding in place. Instead, we can tape it. Figure 24 shows a small bit of clear water-soluble dressmaking tape placed at the bottom outer corner of one of the CB panels. Figure 24: Clear dressmaking tape The faux leather binding is pressed onto the tape and folded and taped to the inside (figure 25). Figure 25: Sticking and folding the binding in place. The binding is then folded and taped (figure 26) to hold it temporarily in place. Alternatively, you may trim the binding edges rather than fold them away (leather and faux leather won't fray). At this stage, you can either tape the entire length of the binding, or you can start stitching folding the binding around the lower edge of the corset by hand as you go (figure 27). You can also purchase feet designed to make this process easier, but I wished to challenge my machine-finishing skills as they aren't as strong as my hand-finishing.

Annabelle Quince : For most of the early part of the twentieth century, the Hazaras either eked out an existence in the Hazarajat or worked in low paying jobs in the cities and towns of Afghanistan. Journalist (archival) : President Carter has again condemned the Soviet Union over its involvement in Afghanistan, saying his opinion of the Russians has changed drastically in the past week. He said Mr Brezhnev had claimed that the Afghan government had invited the Soviet Union to protect it from a third nation, but Mr Carter said this was obviously false. Annabelle Quince : When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the Hazaras attempted to join the resistance forces -- but found they weren't welcome. Grant Farr : The resistance groups that we know about that fought the Soviet Union were largely Pashtun groups. That's because Pakistan favoured them and the arms against the Russians ran through Pakistan at that time. But the Hazaras came out, some of the groups tried to form resistance groups, but what they found when they came out to Peshawar or Quetta, or the other kinds of places in Pakistan from which the war was fought against the Soviet Union, that they got very little support. So many of them turned to Iran. Ahmed Rashid : The Hazaras were always treated almost as second-class citizens by the Pashtuns: they were the servants, the | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 109,414 |

so ruthless, acknowledge that this is misery. And if any one either endures or thinks of them without mental pain, this is a more miserable plight still, for he thinks himself happy because he has lost human feeling. In our present wretched condition we frequently mistake a friend for an enemy, and an enemy for a friend. And if we escape this pitiable blindness, is not the unfeigned confidence and mutual love of true and good friends our one solace in human society , filled as it is with misunderstandings and calamities? And yet the more friends we have, and the more widely they are scattered, the more numerous are our fears that some portion of the vast masses of the disasters of life may light upon them.

for more 'advanced' housing, leaving the desolate rooms filled with Cold War cobwebs and echoes. A place as modern as it is dystopian. The eeriness of the place only fuelled the conspiracy theorists when the DAT Audio Files were subpoenaed by The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (or 9/11 Commission). What the commission found was that there was evidence on the tapes which contradicted evidence previously provided by several military figures. It is impossible to imagine a set of recordings more charged than these and more terrifying. The unforced release of the recordings not only acts as an exhaustive example of how important these documents are to America, but how important they are to the global community.

He has adopted everything he learnt from 'Different Trains', 'Come Out', and 'It's Gonna Rain' to the more detailed 'City Life', 'Three Tales' and 'The Cave'. From investing so much practice into the handling of issue at the centre of society, Reich is an authority at communicating himself and the ideas of others.

Our profession, less intimately bound up with the practical activities, is to be directly concerned with the ideal series of events that is only of casual or occasional import to others; it is our business in life to be ever preoccupied with that far-flung pattern of artificial memories that encloses and completes the central pattern of individual experience.

The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land! Main Menu Scream if you want to go faster In keeping with the positive afterglow of the Olympics, UK regulator Ofcom has this week released some good news about average UK broadband speeds, announcing a rise from 6Mbps to 9Mbps. Average speeds in the country are now 2.5x faster than they were in 2008 when Ofcom started keeping track, the largest single jump so far. So where's this speed coming from? According to Ofcom, it's not just due to customers choosing to upgrade their connections, but from ISPs improving their networks to deliver faster speeds, "at little or no additional cost to consumers". (Essentially here, we're talking about the move from ADSL to ADSL 2+). The rest of the boost is from 'superfast' connections now offered by UK incumbent BT, and Virgin Media's cable network. Both of these are essentially Fibre-to-the-Curb optical connections, with the former using copper from the cabinet to the home and the latter using coaxial cable. The general ropyness of the former means that the actual speeds you get drop dramatically the further you are from the cabinet, while Virgin speeds tend to hold up better over longer distances. However, BT is said to offer more consistent speeds at peak times and offers higher upload speeds as standard -- 20Mb compared to 10Mb.

Neither the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force nor its Canadian counterpart recommend routine PSA testing because its not at all clear that such testing does more good than harm -- it turns up lots of false positives, including many small tumors that would never cause serious problems if left untreated. Routine screening may well lead to many unnecessary operations that leave men incontinent and impotent. Yet the O'Neill's interpret Canada's lower PSA screening rate as an indicator of poor quality care. We may ultimately find that PSA screening or early mammography saves lives -- or causes more harm than good. But at present, we just don't know whether the lower use of these technologies in Canada is a good thing or a bad one. Their analysis also trumpets the greater number of CT scanners and MRI machines in the U.S. as an indicator of better quality. Yet recent estimates suggest that in the coming years radiation from CT scans may cause as many of 2% of all cancer deaths in | HI | HI FH | 570,618 |

Now, I was never quite as impressed as that, but I mean, a very capable guy. LIZ JACKSON: Tony Abbott spent three years struggling to be a priest, then quit and went public. He wrote in the Bulletin that his dream had died. He missed, he said, 'the glittering company of Oxford, the student hurly-burly'. The seminary 'lacked imagination and virility' and the 'lack of sensual intimacy had' in his case 'become a heavy burden'. He had reached the point of 'loathing' the place. FATHER BILL WRIGHT: 'I loathed it'. There can be a flamboyance to... an extravagance to Tony's way of putting things - the one the one liner - and sometimes going to the extreme version for impact, he'll do that. NOEL DEBIEN: Some people thought a seminarian should be quiet; that a seminarian should be obedient; that a seminarian should not make waves. That wasn't Tony. TONY ABBOTT: It was difficult time of my life because I was wrestling with what I thought was a calling, but I was also wrestling with my nature, which didn't take easily to the life of the seminary. And I guess that was why I found it... I found it difficult and ultimately why I left. It was while Tony | SP | SP TA | 649,285 |
Step 2: Preheat the oven The first thing that you need to do in preparing your sponge cake is to set your oven to 180C, 350F or gas mark 4. Step 3: Mix the egg yolks Place the egg yolks into the mixer and mix them on a high speed until creamy. After a minute, add about 2 tbsp of sugar. Continue to mix for a few minutes more until the mixture becomes thicker. You can now add the vanilla extract. Keep mixing until the mixture becomes double that of its original volume. Now turn off the machine and transfer the egg yolks to a separate bowl. Wash your mixing bowl and the attachment well in preparation for whipping the egg whites. Step 4: TIP! Make sure that the mixer attachment and bowl are washed extremely clean at this point. If not, any fat that remains on these utensils will affect the whipping of the egg whites. Make sure your things are spotless! Step 5: Whip the egg whites Place whites into the clean mixer bowl. Beat them on high and let them whip until they become white and frothy. Now slowly add the sugar a bit at a time. The whipped egg whites mixture is ready when it clings to the beater attachment but does not drip. Once the mixture is nice and stiff, turn off the mixer.

The other thing about being here is that you can gain experience working in projects that are funded! From my experience and knowledge, so many development projects struggle with budgets, funding and ongoing income to execute projects, so at least in Australian soil you can get a feel for how projects with financial capacity operate. In summary, I found a short term job in one of the remote communities in NT (for the school holidays, however workers often take long leave for 1-2 months at a time and you can put your name on a roster for short job openings). From this opportunity, the organisation has offered me an interview for an upcoming position not advertised publically. Everyone I talk to that lives here says it is not so difficult to find work here, so if you are open minded and want to contribute to 'closing the gap' why not try NT, Alice Springs, Darwin or the Central Australian (WA/SA desert regions) for a career?

needs to be far more straightforward. Forget berating young and old for their eating habits and what the scales are saying, and give them the much more appealing solution that physical activity is the way to a longer, healthier life. If you offered people a drug that would confer these benefits with no side-effects, you would be trampled in the rush. A pill that promised the same effect as just 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity each day would make headlines around the world. Yet because it's not a new miracle cure on the market, and it's not a mythical superfood, it's not news at all. But the evidence is there. Physical activity can reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers and even delay cognitive decline. According to Karim Khan , editor of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, you probably need to be doing 60 minutes a day for optimum health (after which time there are diminishing returns health-wise). If we're going to pick a health issue to be fascinated by, isn't this the one? It isn't about getting everyone running marathons, or setting aside the time and money they don't have to go to the gym every day.

shown on PBS. His first novel, The Clothes They Stood Up In, was published in 2000. He lives in London. Poor Maurice and Rosemary Ransome return home from the opera and discover their flat has been burglarized and everything has been taken. The dinner that was left warming in the oven, the furniture, the telephones even the toilet paper has been taken. After trying to convey the thouroughness of the robbery to the police (in an uncomfortable public phone booth , no less) Mr. Ransome returns to his empty house to wait with his wife...while waiting he notices not only the drapes but the curtain rings are gone! This slender British novel wittily and adeptly poses the question " What would you do, Who would you be, if everything was taken?". The Ransomes deal with the police (who proffer no hope of recovering their gear), the insurance company (however, EVERYTHING is gone, including the copy of their insurance policy) and wait for some semblance of normal to be restored in their lives. A few creature comforts are obtained to replace the many and then the tale takes a remarkable turn. This is a delightful tale, full of humor and with remarkable insight on people and their possessions. I have given my first copy away and have already reread the replacement book! A must have.

The web design industry is a great one that allows us to be both creative and technical, all at the same time. It's the best of both worlds, in my book, and with such a great community of other female web designers, it's a fun one, as well! Shannon Farrell Bio: Born and raised in Rochester New York, I always had a passion for the arts and anything that involved creativity. I went off to NYC to get my Bachelors in Graphic Design and I now reside in Virginia Beach. When I'm not designing, I'm usually doing something with music or figuring out where to travel next.

had my first child in hospital, the second two at home. One of the simplest practical things in all three labours was walking around at my own pace - keeping mobile if you can and as long as you can seems to be a really good natural pain reliever. I would lean against a wall, over a bed or against my husband to get through each contraction, then walk up and down. This combined with a TENS machine in my first labour got me to 5cm dilated, then I used gas and air till delivery. Walking plus rocking plus the comfort of being at home plus being free to get in any position I wanted to got me right through to delivery in my second and third labours. In the third, it was useful to have the stairs at home because not long before I was fully dilated the midwife examined me and found the baby wasn't quite at the right angle. Walking up and down the stairs gently rocked the baby into prime position for descent! We're very lucky in Bath with our fantastic community midwifery team, to whom I'm eternally grateful.

in another report of the same experiment ( Rumsey et al ., 1999 ), these authors show that activation in only one region, the left angular gyrus, was correlated with reading skill, and that the direction of this correlation was opposite in controls (positive) and dyslexics (negative correlation). They conclude from this result that the left angular gyrus is `the most probable site of a functional lesion in dyslexia'. With fMRI, using imaging parameters that were not optimal (9-mm thick slices, 17 regions of interest `that previous research had implicated in reading and language'), Shaywitz and colleagues proposed to 29 dyslexics and 32 controls a complete series of tasks tapping various levels of processing in reading: a line orientation judgement task, presumably exploring low-level perceptual mechanisms; a letter-case judgement, presumed to reflect orthographic mechanisms; a single letter rhyme and a non-word rhyme task, exploring the phonological level of processing; and a semantic category judgement task ( Shaywitz et al ., 1998 ). The main result was that in normals there was relative overactivation with phonological tasks (in comparison with orthographic ones) in posterior regions [posterior temporal, Brodmann area (BA) 21; supramarginal and angular gyri, BA 39 and 40; and inferior lateral temporal region, BA 37], and a reversed pattern (greater anterior than posterior activation when contrasting phonological and orthographic processing) in dyslexics. The authors propose a general explanation for posterior hypoactivation in dyslexics, that it is `due to actual disruption in a system in charge of phonological processes', whereas Broca's | IN | IN RA | 494,330 |
been called Ecotopia, Ernest Callenbach's fanciful name for part of the region in a novel that imagines northern California, Oregon and Washington breaking away from the U.S. to form an environmentally integrated country. Cascadia was further defined in a more continentalist way by Joel Garreau, whose book The Nine Nations of North America saw the region's common traits as based in market and lifestyle. The idea seemed to take on more concreteness in the early 1990s, when the region's leaders even formed PNWER. That is not unlike some international regional blocs, such as APEC, except that it exists within a continent. Cascadia, however, has never really caught on as a mainstream concept. Its states and provinces don't always share the same agendas or the same national interest. They compete for Asian trade, they exist within different nation states. Yet, there are undeniably increasing examples where there is cooperation. Consider a few of them: n After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, B.C. teamed up with Washington and Oregon to press the U.S. government to loosen its demands for passports when crossing the Canadian border. That fight is continuing, but both Ottawa and Washington have taken note and contemplated ways to shift border policy. n Alberta and B.C. have recently teamed up with an unprecedented agreement to create a common market by 2009, one that essentially eliminates economic barriers.

to make an appointment -- the receptionist was so understanding when I said that it had been over 25 years since I had seen a dentist. She said that they have had many patients like me and she hooked me up with one of their best hygienists and gentlest dentists. On the day of the appointment, the hygienist took all of the xrays to see what she was dealing with and then performed a gum examination. Understandably, I need a deep cleaning treatment and there are a few surface cavities to take care of. The dentist came in and welcomed me back to the dental world and said that there were many options for dealing with the discolored teeth. The hygienist said that it looks like all of my teeth are very strong and she felt that the deep pockets I have on my wisdom teeth and back molars should be able to be taken care of with the deep cleaing. I am actually very excited to get the process started. I encourage anyone who has been putting it off to just do something about it.

have this power and the silence of the Vienna Convention on this issue supports the case of the UK government rather than weakens it. This is obviously a completely distinct issue as to whether this is a sensible real politik move or an ethical move. It also raises the issue as to whether the Vienna Convention is complete and appropriate. Though I don't think any nation will agree to surrendering the very power the UK is using. But the Vienna Convention does very very specifically define the things you say it would need to define. And it does define in which conditions immunity can be violated; none. The meaning of inviolable, in fact the meaning of the whole Convention, is extremely clear. I doubt you have read it; it is linked in the post above.

Elephant Expecting Emails Do you notice something peculiar about the sentence? For one I'm quite amused that elephants get emails;) But the other thing that is rather amusing is that if you observe, all the words in the sentence are starting with the same letter. Such phrases or sentences are called alliterations. Here is a fun alliteration: Betty bought some butter but the butter was bitter so Betty bought more butter to make bitter butter better. Alliterations can sometimes make funny tongue twisters like the one above. Tongue twisters are a combination of words put together that are difficult to speak clearly. Sometimes when most words in a phrase start with the same letter as in an alliteration, that phrase becomes especially hard to say when said repeatedly with speed. You can make your own fun alliterations. Let's begin with the simple ones. It's easy. Really!Pick any alphabet. Begin the sentence with Noun(naming word). Then add a verb(doing word).

sluggish for a while after you wake up. Naps are recommended for people who have accumulated a sleep deficit, for people who are sleepy, and for people who suffer from certain sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy . But naps are not recommended for people with insomnia, because they can wind up "borrowing" from their next night's sleep. Research has shown that in extreme cases, such as when people have to drive alone and cannot get several hours of sleep in a row, taking 10-to-20-minute naps at regular intervals over the course of the day can partly meet their need for sleep and enable them to perform at minimally acceptable levels for a few days. But their performance under these conditions will always be far poorer than if they were completely rested. People who are performing monotous tasks such as driving a vehicle for hundreds of kilometres may experience "micro-naps" that last a few seconds. The frequency of these micro-naps is proportional to the individual's sleep deficit, but they can also occur in people who have gotten enough sleep, especially during cyclical variations in alertness , such as those that occur about once every 90 minutes. | IN | IN IB | 554,742 |

It followed me in my wild gallop, mischievously watching to see how I should manage. And my. one idea was to show it what I could do.

I think everything non-essential, especially retail, should be closed on all national holidays. The tiny grocery store I do a lot of shopping at is always closed on holidays, and I say good for them. I do this crazy thing called planning ahead. When I worked technical support for point of sale terminals, people would FIGHT to be able to work on holidays. We got holiday pay AND double time and a half. On top of all that, full catered meals for everyone working that day. The best part? A ten hour shift would get you maybe 10 calls. It was awesome.

We tend to talk about spirituality a lot, but what do we actually mean? In some cases, it's a reference to your soul or your own inner being. It's that part of you that is independent of your physical existence: the essence of your you -ness and the guiding light that motivates you to be better. If you find yourself on the wrong path -- like so many of us do from time to time -- spiritual transformation is your route back to happiness, contentment, and fulfillment in life. In the modern era, people are taking their spirituality into their own hands. Today, we're more likely to search for our own answers to spiritual questions than to try to use religion to explain those things that trouble us.

If this isn't possible, write an email or letter clearly stating the relationship is over, and give some explanation for your decision. When your ex moves on... It can be especially hard when you find out that your ex has a new relationship. If this happens: Try to avoid thinking about them being with someone else, as it can be really painful. Don't contact your ex or lash out at them for being in a new relationship. It won't make you feel any better. If you are struggling with anger or jealousy, you need to make sure you stay safe when dealing with these feelings. Talk to somebody about it and get some help if you need it. Thinking about a new relationship Take all the time you need in beginning another relationship. Think about what you want in your next relationship, but feel confident about being single for a while. When should you get some help? Breakups hurt, but people usually get over them in time and without any serious problems. If you find yourself unable to move on, talk things through with someone you trust. This may be a friend, family member, youth worker or a counsellor. Counselling can provide a safe space to help you understand your feelings and gain some perspective. eadspace acknowledges the unique place and historical context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities within Australia and the need for specific consideration in relation to all functions of the headspace model.

an anti-war movement). Every night this week, BBC2 will show a 10-minute snippet of 10 Days to War (probably because 10 minutes is all the audience can take of legalised discussions about Iraq before seeking legal advice about assisted suicide), and follow it up with a 'heated' Newsnight debate about the issues raised. Last night Jeremy Paxman barked at his viewers, 'WAS the invasion of Iraq LEGAL? DID IT meet the requirements of a justifiable war? If not, does it MATTER?' - a salvo of questions that only raised another one in this viewer's mind: 'WHERE is the remote control?' There are three irritating things about the legalistic opposition to the attack on Iraq, or what we must now refer to as the legalistic- not -political opposition to the attack on Iraq. First, it is delusional. It is based on the massive self-deception that international law and its brave defenders and practitioners - lawyers - kept the world in tip-top shape until that cowboy George W Bush and his heel-snapping poodle Tony Blair came along and ruined everything. Philippe Sands, one of the key 'legal critics' of the bombing of Iraq, is a QC and author of Lawless World: Making and Breaking Global Rules ; he was a guest on last night's Newsnight debate about 10 Days to War .

the Choices When you have created the process flow, identify the "choice nodes", points where different courses of action are possible. Use outline numbering to label each node, e.g. 2.0, 3.0 and so on. For each choice node provide: a name for the choice or decision facing the learner: This helps you visualise the branch and makes it easier to discuss and navigate through the scenario when storyboarding or choosing media. a description of what the choice is and what are the different options facing the learner. What learning objective or knowledge does this choice relate to and what, if any, are the prerequisites? details of the consequences and effects of the different choices details of what happens next: Does a particular response bring the learner to another screen or branch or is the learner presented with feedback and prevented from proceeding? 4. Write the Story Now start building a narrative around the process. Put simply, tell the story of what is happening. Start with the process flow before moving on to the choice nodes. Writing a story for the choice nodes is easier when you have a main story to base it on. Work on both simultaneously and you might get lost in the story or introduce continuity errors. Some people recommend taking a creative writing class to help you develop your storytelling skills. For examples of courses, see the Irish Writers' Centre .

I find some remaining drops coming out with the urine, and sometimes I stay in the washroom for more than half an hour to make sure that all of it has come out.

Hidden Bench Locust Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009 ($55, 93 points) -- It is with this more feminine style where my tastebuds are happiest. Like a seasoned ballerina, it shows elegance and poise from the first whiff of black cherry, raspberry, currants, violets and forest floor. It dances nimbly on the palate, with balanced and evocative red and dark fruits that mingle nicely with the cedar, spice and beetroot nuances. This is the kind of stuff I look for in top Burgundian reds and it will only get better with age. Nuit Blanche Hidden Bench Nuit Blanche Rosomel Vineyard 2010 ($40, 92 points) -- This classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc (88%) and Semillon (12%) sees aging in older French oak barrels. The Sauvignon Blanc is picked once for acidity earlier in the harvest and later for riper flavours to provide the balance in a hot vintage. It is a style that very few attempt in Niagara, made along the lines of great white Bordeaux. It has a nose of creamy peach pie, passion fruit, subtle lime zest, smoke, integrated spice, herbs and minerals. It is complex and interesting on the palate with intense stone fruit and lime cordial, marzipan, spice and surprising verve and energy through the finish.

young men', said Mr Beard. Indigenous over-representation in the juvenile justice system for young women is very high-Indigenous young women were around 16 times as likely as non-Indigenous young women to be under community-based supervision, and 19 times as likely to be in detention. This was higher than levels of Indigenous over-representation among young men (13 and 17 times as likely, respectively). Over the 5 year period from 2006-07 to 2010-11, rates of young women aged 10-17 under supervision rose from 0.8 to 1.0 per 1,000 on an average day. This increase was greater than the corresponding increase among young men. In 2010-11, young men were 4 times as likely as young women to be under supervision on an average day, compared with 5 times the likelihood in 2006-07.

it could also have significant influence in the mobile news feed, which offers a huge opportunity for a wide variety of new input signals. For the first time, in a long time, Facebook has addressed more details regarding the EdgeRank algorithm. Facebook's news feed product manager Will Cathcart simplified how the news feed works with the following: 1. Prior interaction with an author's posts: If you like every post by a page that Facebook shows you, it will show you more from that page. 2. Other people's reactions to a specific post: If others on Facebook are shown a post and ignores it, or complains, it's less likely to show up on your news feed. 3. Your interaction with posts of the same type in the past: If you always Like photos, there's a better chance you'll see a photo posted by a page. 4. If a specific post has received complaints by other users who have seen it, or the page who posted it has received lots of complaints in the past, you'll be less likely to see that post. This factor became a lot more prevalent with the EdgeRank update in September 2012. We're going to break down each component to help provide deeper context into what that means for your brand. 1.

The seminar will attempt to uncover the myriad interests and issues about Africa, including contemporary challenges and possibilities. The course critically engages the multiple ways of presenting current challenges of 'development', the interplay of tradition and modernity, contestations over knowledge production in 'post-colonial' Africa, and the roles and significance of Indigenous/local cultural resource knowledges, science, culture, gender, ethnicity, language, and religion for understanding African development. Other related questions for discussion include social stratification and cultural pluralism, formulation of national identity, political ideology and the growth of nationalism, and the search for peace, cooperation and social justice. Although the course basically uses African case material, it is hoped our discussions will be placed in global/transnational contexts, particularly in looking at themes common to many Southern peoples contending with, and resisting, the effects of [neo] colonial and imperial knowledge. SES1925 H Indigenous Knowledge and Decolonization: Pedagogical Implications This seminar will examine Indigenous and marginalized knowledge forms in transnational and global contexts and the pedagogical implications for educational change. It begins with a brief overview of processes of knowledge production, interrogation, validation and dissemination in diverse educational settings. There is a critique of theoretical conceptions of what constitutes 'valid' knowledge and how such knowledge is produced and disseminated locally and externally. A special emphasis is on the validation of non-western epistemologies and their contributions in terms of offering multiple and collective readings of the world. Among the specific topics to be covered are the principles of Indigenous knowledge forms; questions of power, social | IN | IN DT | 88,808 |

emergence of what Guy Herbert from the campaign group NO2ID calls, "The Database State", is that its development is inextricably linked to with notion that as good citizen's we should be required - indeed expected - to constantly proove: (a) that we we're good - i.e., that we behaving in a socially acceptable and socially endorsed manner and (b) that whatever we may ask for from the state, we are in fact entitled to ask for it. That is, that we must first proove our entitlement. Only by constantly monitoring us, under a constantly operating regime of surveilance may we achieve this and in the process, weed out those who aren't entitled and those are are deviant and dangerous to society. Such a view profoundly confuses the distinction between entitlement and privacy and is symptomatic of the move towards to emeregence of a totalitarian state. It is my view my view that we in the west are already well on the way to a new form of post-modern totalitarian state (what Guy Herbert calls 'soft fascism') in which behaviour and opinions which are disapproved of by the political class are pathologised and then regulated by violence-backed laws "for your own good' or "for the children" or "for the environment.

sex, but looking back I think it really did. I think that if a long term partner says it isn't important, maybe they are just saying that they don't have those feelings anymore -- those romantic, sexual feelings and desires. But now that I am in a new relationship with those feelings -- it seems very important. The intimacy brings us even closer. I can't believe I went all those years without being interested... forgot what it felt like to actually WANT to have sex rather than because I felt an obligation. I always had excuses too -- too tired, too stressed, didn't feel I was sexy, etc. Which all felt like valid reasons to me at the time. But I could be exhausted and I think I would still have sex with T -the desire is just there now. Not sure if this helps or not...

protecting privacy? Patients may disclose unanticipated personal information live on air leading to a distasteful or sensational portrayal of surgery. As well, do patients believe that agreeing to have their operation broadcast will result in their surgery being done better or earlier? Are they, along with the surgeon, putting themselves forward for the operation for self-promotion?

The public can still gain an understanding of surgery and feel informed, reassured and inspired, but without as many risks. Broadcasts used to train surgeons are fundamentally different. Most operations undertaken in NHS hospitals do so with junior surgeons being trained and gaining experience. By extending that opportunity out of the operating theatre through training broadcasts the small risks for the patient are balanced against the needs to ensure that the next generation of patients will be treated by fully trained professionals. No such direct patient benefit exists for the general public in live surgical broadcasts. The medical profession agrees that operating theatres should not be closed places, but we have to balance explaining our work to the wider world in a way that has the least potential impact on the patient being treated that day.

1.29 that depicts vegetarianism as God's original will. Is there a link with vegetarianism? There has always been a minority of Christians who have adopted vegetarian practices, including John Wesley, Leo Tolstoy, and William and Catherine Booth. The inspiration for the modern vegetarian movement came from the Bible Christian Church in the nineteenth century - which, in obedience to Genesis 1.29-30, made vegetarianism compulsory among its members. The Genesis text reveals that God's original will was for a peaceful, vegetarian world. Meat eating was only allowed in the Hebrew Bible after the fall and the flood, i.e. the human descent into violence. Post-modern Christian vegetarians argue that humans should seek to approximate God's will by living as free as possible from violence to sentient creatures. Christian vegetarians believe meat eating is unjustifiable because we now know that we can live healthy lives without recourse to flesh foods. Some Christians also adopt vegetarianism, or demi-vegetarianism, as a protest against the suffering inflicted on animals in intensive farming, especially veal crates, sow stalls and battery cages. Christianity has generally opposed animal cruelty, but the recent upsurge in Christian vegetarianism is testimony to a renewed sense that respect for animal life is a duty in itself, and especially that inflicting suffering cannot be reconciled with a Christ-like life. In general, will people of this faith eat in a food outlet that serves food or drink that does not conform to their beliefs? Christian omnivores will eat anywhere, but vegetarian Christians usually seek out | OP | OP RS | 720,866 |
