I am a Life Coach and I help empower your girls to become WARRIOResses
by educating them to adopt positive core values and beliefs about themselves, unleash their inner strengths, conquer their fears and defeat their frenemies and life challenges so that they can courageously transform into fearless female leaders that know what they want and follow their bliss.
I didn’t grow up in the happiest circumstances and often found myself feeling lost and confused about what I wanted AND NEEDED.
I faced some unfortunate circumstances in my early childhood which took me to dim my own light while making me feel small and meaningless. This lack of security, self-esteem and confidence led me to hold back from achieving the life I deserved and desired.
After feeling miserable in various career settings and including the entertainment field, I decided to shift gears and began to volunteer my free time working face to face with teens fostering them to new, life changing opportunities, through a Nationally recognized organization called, StandUp for Kids. I was also opportuned an experience to volunteer my time twice a week working and educating adolescent girls in the Orange County Juvenile Justice System. This is where I found my true passion and it was evident that it was time to let my light shine, as for once I decided to take control of my life and followed my own true bliss. I challenged myself to return to school after eight years and pursue a Masters in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and
Family Therapy, through Pepperdine University, Malibu, California. And this is where my journey began.
TODAY I FOCUS ON INSPIRING, MOTIVATING AND EMPOWERING YOUR GIRLS TO
FIND THEIR INNER WARRIORess
in a world full of princesses
I coach young girls on how to become fierce, assertive, courageous and resilient all while being their own unique beautiful. I teach them coping skills as they gain clarity and education about subjects that will radically change their path and positively impact their lives. I help girls stop feeling like victims and to step into their full potential.
I aim to empower girls to come together in a structured, safe, comfortable, and fun environment, to learn the necessary practices that will allow for positive change, while unleashing her inner Strength, conquer their fears, defeat the ‘frenemies’ and life challenges, while transposing into a fearless Female Leader.

People sometimes tend to worry about things.
Running is what works for me. And as I am running from the old bridge in Písek towards the ice arena and to Smeták, I suddenly get the idea - wow, it is so beautiful in here, maybe other people might like running here as well. Why nobody runs here? Just me in my pink nylon jacket, all alone.
And why do I never run into other cuties and hunks? Well, time to time I happen to see someone, but why so few? I will organize a Marathon here, yeah! I will write to the mayor, yeah! And it will be BIG, yeah!
Well, this was the beginning, the idea hit me when running along the Otava River and I couldn’t get rid of it. And you know it, when something keeps bothering you on and on, you’ve got a bee in your bonnet saying: “Do something, won’t you?”
At first, I wrote to the Mayor of the city, asking what he thinks. He kind of liked the idea. He wished me good luck, promised his patronage and said he might even run with us ˘.
And that was it, I slowly started spreading my idea, addressing partners and sponsors (well, that was something!) and although it went slowly, I somehow did it ˘. It is still in progress, I am proceeding towards my goal. The only thing I am sorry about is the fact that because of organizing everything I won’t be able to run myself.
The thing was that organizing something like this will push me to train for a 10K or 20K distance. Well, I am the Managing director of the race after all (and sometimes even of the universe), so it means that I will be ready next time, when there is a whole organizational team and I will be a feeble old lady running relay in the oldest team of the race.
I wish myself and the city and all participants to experience unusual moments within the preparatory phase as well as during the race, to overcome milestones and break records, to make friends - men or women and to run for a good feeling. Good luck to all runners, see you at the Otava River!

MS. Yasmine Elkassar
Primary Head of Stage
School Vice Principal
Our Primary school is a six-year phase, during which our basic scope is to build on the foundations laid during the early years of education. Core subjects are now richer in knowledge, with new subjects introduced. By the Upper Primary stage (Grade 4), the ministerial curriculum becomes broader; however, we try to maintain a healthy balance between work and life to enable our students to have time for sports and social interaction.
Our Primary school can be divided into two stages: lower and upper primary. The former is a transitional period for our KG children. Students learn to be increasingly independent and start exploring new subjects.
In Grade 1, we introduce our second foreign language instruction. Students are free to choose either French or German. Other core subjects include English, Mathematics, Arabic, Religion, Computing, PE and Music. Co-curricular activities are part and parcel of our curriculum delivery, in addition to carefully structured activities that are integrated into the curriculum across all subjects. Competitions are organized in various areas, including spelling bees, short story writing, poetry writing, and Quraan.
By the beginning of Grade 4, our lower primary core subjects are extended to include Social Studies, which is taught in Arabic, in addition to General Science taught in English.
Students sit exams scheduled and monitored by the Ministry of Education at the end of each term. Exams in the Primary stage are internally set and marked, except for Grade 6 exams, which are externally set but internally marked.
By the end of the Primary stage, students are expected to command a sound knowledge of all major subjects and to have developed their reading, speaking, listening and writing skills of foreign languages.

Richard recently wrote this post about us on the Running For Ayrie website:
How it all started…
Richard here. My career in education has taken me from mid-Missouri to the nation’s capital, with a number of stops in between. Much as I’ve enjoyed the work, I’ve really enjoyed the people I’ve met along the way, from my students in Philadelphia to the folks at the U.S. Department of Education. My first education job in Chicago was great, but I’m much more grateful that I met Nora through our work with a group of charter schools in Chicago.
I moved to Chicago about 3 years ago after a stint teaching middle school in Philadelphia. I wanted to stay involved in education and the world of charter schools intrigued me. Nora was the director of data for a network of charter schools and she was kind enough to give me a part-time job doing some basic assessment and analysis work. To this day, Nora is the best manager I ever had, a great mix of setting high expectations, but being very open to feedback and criticism, a rarity among most managers.
Anyway, I’ll always be thankful to Nora for hiring me and inviting me into her family and social circle. She and the boys are fun, hilarious, and inspiring, not to mention her uber-crafty sister and braniac brother-in-law!

The summer is winding down which finally gives me a moment to catch up on this website. We just finished our seventh summer of the Breaktime Bakery and as some of you know, we took the Bakery kids to Mackinac Island for a four day trip. For the first time in four years, we didn’t have rain. For the first time in three years, we didn’t have van trouble! The kids had a blast and were really challenged to live out the fruit of the spirit. To capture a bit of the trip, I thought I’d post a few pics.
Thanks for supporting us through another amazing summer.

Awnings are a magnificent alternative to any garden or scene since they draw the eye up and incorporate visual interest. Awnings moreover offer a splendid assistance structure for climbing plants, and when joined with a blossoming plant, they grant your nursery to genuinely move higher than at any other time. There are a similar number of different awning designs as there is considerations; your inventive brain is the limit, especially if you will create the construction yourself. In this article, we will discuss some standard awning plans and how you can pick one that is straightforwardly for your nursery.
Awnings are an extraordinary design since they can vary a ton in size as opposed to arbors, which are customarily not any more significant than 3 feet and no taller than 7 feet, an awning could be adequately colossal to cover an entire deck or yard. Awnings can similarly be arranged in a grouping of ways, dependent upon your prerequisites. For example, if you are looking for something to give shade or safe house in a particular locale, you ought to use material or another material to reach out ridiculous piece of your awning units. Allowing foliage to grow up an awning is similarly typical, and grape plants can be an extraordinary choice for covering the most elevated mark of an enormous awning because of their penchant to create on a level plane and reach a colossal zone. Review that grapes and some other natural item bearing and blooming plants will pull in bumble bees and tende da sole pavia bugs, so if this is not what you need, you may have to control toward a plant that does not make normal item or blooms.
Tinier awnings are essentially equivalent to nursery arbors; on the other hand, really their tops are level instead of calculated. Little awnings are furthermore commonly used in nurseries and scene designs and are unprecedented for signifying a segment or exit from one spot into another. For example, you could use an awning with a doorway along the line of a fence to register the part with a side yard or back yard. These constructions are habitually arranged with latticed sides, simplifying it for climbing plants and various plants to get hold and grow up the design. Another excellent sort of awning design is one that joins a nursery seat or seat under. Any awning that has various sides loosening up to the virus earth can be used to help a seat. Basically incorporate some even pieces of wood or whatever material you are using to shape a seat and back, and you will in a brief moment have an agreeable nook for examining or loosening up in your nursery.

Things went very well again. I had spent a long time yesterday assiduously scrubbing bricks – all the ones lying loose which, fortuitously, would be about the number needed for the morning bearing in mind that Dave would be fitting another ornamental brick, which takes a long time. The forecast was iffy but generally we were hopeful of a morning’s work.
Imagine my surprise darlings, if you will, when I read Dave’s blog, which seemed to have been taken over by someone writing in the style of a lesser-lettered Z. Yes, I know. My mouth would have dropped open if I had any slack-jawed tendencies. You may require a comparison – here you go. Now really – is that, for one minute, anything like me?
Dave was wearing a rather fine pith helmet when he arrived and looked slightly out of place in a Norfolk garden rather than a Cameroon jungle. He cowered slightly when he saw me, which was quite inexplicable. I gave him a cup of Earl Grey, which had rather a lot of tea leaves floating in it unfortunately and he gradually relaxed enough to remove his “protective headgear” as he called it and start work. We were doing well until 11 o’clock when the first drops of rain fell. We covered the mortar and sheltered under a tree. It wasn’t a long shower and we finished at 12.30, pleased with the morning’s work. Since I counted the bricks (I didn’t mean to, but when you stack you can’t help counting and multiplying, can you?) I knew that we’d laid 67, plus the ornamental brick and the half-bricks around it.
Pictures? Of course. Here you are.
I’ve mentioned that the bricks are not all exactly rectangular – here’s an example. The top brick is sitting on another which is the reason it looks larger, but you can see that there is a definite curve. Some of them are more bowed than that, and the lower one is cracked but not broken – all part of the hand-made charm. The wall will look old and weathered from the start, which is just what we want. Furthermore, it nicely disguises and excuses any mistakes we make.

Sister Betty Ann McNeil, D.C.

On Monday, September 14, 2015, the staff at St. Mary’s on Paca Street collectively stepped down from their roles as guides and guardians of history and enthusiastically joined the small audience of Daughters of Charity novices to listen to Vincentian Scholar-in-Residence and noted Elizabeth Ann Seton scholar Sister Betty Ann McNeil, D.C., as she took us around the Site and brought the history of Mother Seton and the Sulpician Fathers alive during her tour.
As much as we enjoy conducting tours, it is always our pleasure when a dedicated researcher and noted author can take us down the avenues of history and offer us a chance to look upon our Site and the memories and treasures it holds in a new light. Thank you, Sister McNeil, for the enlightenment and for your visit!)

Throughout history, no species has ever been as intrigued with its fellow creatures as people. We now have hunted animals, eaten them, raised them, bred them, domesticated them, drawn them, composed songs and poetry about the subject, and loved them for millennia. But why? What exactly is behind this intense fascination we’ve always had along with other creatures, whether fuzzy and cute or scary and dangerous–or both?
The thrilling excitment. Nothing compares with all the thrill you will get if you see a big animal in its environment the very first time. We like to the excitement of encountering bears, big cats, deer, eagles, owls, and other herbivores and predators. Although it’s ill-advised to get this done in the wild, we love to watch them unseen, our breath caught inside our throats and our hearts stuffed with wonder. Just seeing the majesty and energy these remarkable creatures once is usually a life-changing experience. One other thing that makes an encounter using a large animal within the wild so memorable would be the fact it’s very rare–very few people hold the privilege of encountering these animals anywhere, aside from from the wild. We love go to zoos to find out big animals we’d never see from the wild, from the safe standpoint behind glass or bars. Even seeing them in captivity can provide us exactly the same feeling of excitement.
Curiosity. What can animals do when we’re not looking? How can they behave if they’re happy, sad, scared, angry, or hungry? How must they hunt, what can they eat, and just what are they going to teach us about being alive? So many of us are thirsty for understanding of animals as well as their lives. We would like to know how they’re similar from us and the way they’re different. Maybe as we knew all you should know about other animals, we’re able to better understand ourselves as being a species–and possess a clearer picture of where we originated. We love zoos along with other animal facilities to the opportunity they provide us to understand animals to see them close-up–some zoos even enable you to shadow a zookeeper for any day. It’s difficult to get anybody who wouldn’t enjoy having the opportunity to learn more about animals both rare and numerous.
A sense of wonder. Since a child, did you have a favorite animal–one that seemed so beautiful, outlandish, powerful, or special you were convinced it had to have magical powers? Some of us fell deeply in love with the expressive beauty of horses, us with bizarre and outlandish animals like elephants and giraffes, plus some folks with powerful hunters like lions or wolves. We’ve always secretly wondered just what it can be prefer to run just like a cheetah, fly like an eagle, swing just like a monkey, or swim like a dolphin. Through the biggest whales to the tiniest amoebas, animals have always filled us having a a sense wonder. And with their physical abilities often far beyond ours, animals do have special powers. As being a species, animals have inspired us to find out to fly in planes and fail the water in submarines–but we will never do it together with the grace of the bird or perhaps a fish. Maybe that’s why a lot of people care about protecting animals from pollution and poaching. If we lost the truly amazing number of animal species on the planet, we’d kill humanity’s feeling of wonder and inspiration, at the same time.
Building a connection. A lot of us have loved a pet–whether a puppy, the cat, a horse, a parakeet, or a hamster. Anyone who’s ever owned a pet will explain that animals have feelings and emotions, their own intelligence, and their own means of communicating–and they experienced a strong emotional experience of their pet. We like that connection we’ve with this pets, and lots of folks believe it is possible to foster vital with any animal, it doesn’t matter how different from us. We desire forging bonds with lions and tigers, understanding monkeys and horses, and contacting dolphins and whales. We like to every time a fierce bird of prey hits our arm without hesitation, each time a cat cuddles trustingly in our laps, each time a horse nickers to us like he’s greeting a well used friend. Many animal-lovers will show you that animals make wonderful friends–they don’t lie, they just don’t judge, and they also don’t hate. No matter the reason you are craving that connection with a creature, most in your species do. When we’re talking with a pet, we humans feel less alone.

About the Project
The overall goal of WaterPro is to develop eco-efficient tools and models for good water quality management and protection for the Northern Periphery sparsely populated area. This will be done through development of a toolbox of good management practices and a communication platform for the agricultural and mining extraction industries. In addition, several innovative, low cost practices will be implemented in actual pilot sites and their treatment and cost-efficiency evaluated. WaterPro will also enhance the preparedness of responsible authorities and local resource users to protect water quality, human health, ecosystems and stimulate economic growth and development.
The WaterPro Project has two aims:
1) Provide more eco efficient runoff management systems in the Northern Periphery Area in anticipation of the effects of climate change.
2) Provide a faster transfer of knowledge and develop wider cooperation within the Northern Periphery Area and improve runoff management systems and techniques.
The common territorial challenges to be tackled by WaterPro include the mitigation of nutrient pollution caused by mineral extraction and agricultural practices. Climate change will also challenge the NPA area with more frequent and intense rainfall which will exacerbate the negative effects on environmental water quality. Certain skills, expertise and knowledge are scattered and distributed throughout the NPA region as recognized by WaterPro partners. There is also an absence of standardised water policies, tools and solutions to address these challenges. WaterPro will tackle these challenges by bringing together, implementing, testing and proving the effectiveness of several mitigation solutions while enhancing multilevel cooperation. WaterPro will collect and modify runoff management tools specifically suitable for the NPA. WaterPro will incorporate the main end-users in tight collaboration (advisory boards) in pilot sites from planning to practical implementation. Many local /regional decision-making authorities lack resources, reference sites, or evidence regarding different practices and their treatment effectiveness. WaterPro will provide guidance and best practice on the most sustainable runoff management practices. Environmental water quality is of serious urgent concern both in the agricultural community and mining sector; they are both blamed for the poor water quality in these NPA regions. Advisory boards will be established in each region, with outreach to the whole agricultural and rural communities.
WaterPro will collect dispersed knowledge and expertise in runoff management into a well-structured tool-box, especially tailored for sparsely populated NPA areas currently facing water pollution and climate change issues. The main focus is in controlling and managing runoffs from agriculture and mineral extraction sites which both are important sectors economically but cause pollution threats to the water and soil environment. Historically, different regions have developed their specific methods for managing runoff, but well-structured and comparable data for eco-efficient and profound decision-making is missing. There are also some new methods (eg. novel reusable filter materials) under development which have not yet been tested in different climates or geographical conditions. WaterPro will fill in these gaps through collaborative piloting in several sites. The WaterPro partners have complementary expertise and experience and this offers a fruitful platform for mutual learning: Finnish partners have long experience in runoff monitoring; Icelandic and Faroe Island partners have good capabilities in climate change preparedness for runoff peaks, Sweden is a leader in nitrogen removal and modelling, N. Ireland and Ireland partners are frontrunners in innovative willow coppice systems for runoff and waste water management together with biomass bioenergy production. Scotland is a leader in innovative systems for phosphorus removal and reuse.

Amidst the footy finals madness plaguing pretty much the whole bloody country this weekend something EVEN MORE EXCITING AND IMPORTANT is happening in Melbourne. A record label focussed on supporting female and non binary musicians, LISTEN Records, is launching.
It is news to no one that sometimes it can be a bit rough not being a dude. Despite music generally being a great equaliser of gender, colour and background, a bunch of ladies grew tired of the dismissive attitudes towards women and the LGTBQIA community in the music industry. This led to Evelyn Morris (Pikelet, True Radical Miracle, Baseball) airing her dissatisfaction with the “male back-patting” permeating the Melbourne music scene, which didn’t so much hit a nerve as it did trigger a groundswell of agreement from people across the country, culminating in LISTEN.
In just over a year, the LISTEN Project has grown from being a forum for women and members of the LGBTQIA community to share their experiences in the industry, to launching an official record label. They have even teed up a conference for the end of October; a roundtable of sorts for female and gender queer artists to talk about the reason we’re all here: music.
As for where LISTEN is going, Morris is pretty happy for the project to shape itself: “Listen has been growing really fast and will continue to grow and develop into whatever it needs to be. I’m very excited by what the community can create together.”
For the label’s first foray into the public sphere, LISTEN has produced a 15-track compilation from some of Australia’s most-talented musicians. It’s a genre-spanning spread of stratospherically talented female and non binary musicians, with KT Spit, Philippa Omega, Soft Rubbish and Julia Why? all contributing tracks. LISTEN has a few releases lined up in the coming months, with Claws & Organs in November and Stina and Cinta early next year.
Because gender identities are complex and are continually glossed over by writers who reckon they can nail a definition in one blog post, I’m going to forego that whole exercise and let the women who have shared their firsthand experiences for LISTEN do the talking.
Get down to the Old Bar on Saturday, 3 October, to catch a handful of the compilation artists and show your support for some of Australia’s finest.

Tara Simmons – ‘Domino’
Forgive me for making a broad statement, but it seems to me that most piano-based female singer-songwriters in the 21st Century come from one of three strains:
The Tori Amos strain;
The Missy Higgins strain or
The Imogen Heap strain.
Brisbane singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tara Simmons shows the influence of all of the above (strings from Amos, jazzy phrasing from Higgins, glitchy beats and impressive self-production skills from Heap) but creates music far beyond the sum of her influences.
‘Domino’ is incredibly well-written and arranged, from opening lyrical couplet “So we like a reason so we don’t forget our place/if you lie a little, you might just be getting brave” over lush strings to the killer saxophone solo towards the end of the track.
Just quietly, Simmons is a major talent who is just getting started.
‘Domino’ is from Tara Simmons’ debut album Spilt Milk, which she is launching at Brisbane’s Judith Wright Centre on the 14th of February.

(INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.) — The Indiana Senate heard public testimony on a proposed abortion bill Monday, with passionate pleas from both anti-abortion rights and abortion-rights advocates.
Monday’s testimony comes prior to the legislature’s vote on Senate Bill I, which is slated for Tuesday at 1 p.m.
The proposed bill would ban all abortions in the state from the moment of conception, with exceptions for rape, incest, threats to the health of the mother, or due to fatal fetal abnormalities.
The bill would not hold women accountable, criminally, but rather those who perform abortions outside of these exceptions.
While testimony began, abortion-rights protestors could be heard from outside the Statehouse in Indianapolis, where the hearing took place.
Vice President Kamala Harris also came to Indianapolis in preparation for the legislature’s Tuesday vote, meeting with lawmakers to discuss the bill.
Dozens of Indiana residents shared testimony before state senators, calling for changes to the bill, some arguing for more restrictions, and others pleading for less.
On both sides, much of the hourslong testimony pointed to vagueness within the proposed law.
Several doctors testified that they or their colleagues will become fearful of performing abortions and potentially put their patients at risk.
“We want emergency physicians to be able to provide life-saving interventions and treatments consistent with the standard of care without fear of prosecution,” Daniel Elliott, an emergency physician, said during the hearing.
Amy Caldwell, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Indiana, testified to the same sentiment, adding that it’s important for physicians to have safe, private conversations with their patients about their health.
Ariel Ream, an Indiana woman who sought pregnancy through IVF, said she’s fearful of losing that protected relationship with her doctors.
“Who gets to decide when my life is truly at risk?” Ream said during the hearing. “When am I hemorrhaging enough to be able to get care, what doctor is not going to be scared, as we’ve heard today, to not lose their license to give you the care they need?”
Others, including Elizabeth Manring, think the vagueness needs to be addressed in order to create more restrictions.
She asked senators to vote against this bill and instead “close the loopholes large enough to drive a truck through and actually work to stop abortion in Indiana.”
Advocates for abortion and anti-abortion rights both raised questions about the implication of religion within the law.
Several anti-abortion rights advocates referenced the Bible, in favor of a complete ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
“If the language of the bill isn’t changed, innocent children will die. God’s wrath will continue to be stored up against us and the Republican Party will lose many of its God-fearing constituents,” Seth Leeman said.
Brian Shrank, who said he ministers outside of abortion clinics, referenced a 10-year-old girl who came to Indiana to receive an abortion after becoming pregnant from rape, saying, “God gave that girl life.”
Rabbi Aaron Spiegel argued against the bill for fewer restrictions, saying that the ban from conception is against the beliefs of Judaism and therefore not coherent with the Constitution’s pledge to freedom of religion.
Grey Lesesne, a reverend at an Episcopal Christian church in Indianapolis, said that this bill would harm many of his congregants.
“I’m asking you to give Hoosier women and pregnant people the dignity and respect to make these difficult decisions with their doctors, their families and their communities of faith,” Lesesne said.
Several women came forward to share their experiences with abortion.
One, Danielle Spry, said that she “cannot even fathom the trauma” that having to go through with her pregnancy would have caused her.
Spry said that she was told her daughter would not have been able to survive after birth, due to fatal fetal abnormalities that would not allow her lungs or heart to work properly.
Spry added that she believes women should be able to carry any pregnancy to term, but that she was grateful that she had a choice.
Public testimony will continue for the bill at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, leading up to a 1 p.m. vote on the bill by state senators.

Started 22/06/2022 Finished 21/06/2023365 Days ITINERARY
ASIANOVERLAND.NET SYDNEY TO LONDON DAY 115/322/27: DAL LAKE TO NISHAT BAGH, KASHMIR, INDIA
August 1980 and 14th October, 1980
One of the most popular places to visit in Srinagar is across the eastern side of Dal Lake, Nishat Bagh, a terraced Mughal garden built by Asif Khan in 1633. It is the largest Mughal garden in the Kashmir Valley.
Although the layout of Nishat Bagh was based on Persian gardens, it had to be remodelled to fit the topographic and water source conditions in the Kashmir valley. The plan, instead of being central with four radiating arms in a square pattern, was changed to an axial stream flow design to fit the mountain with water source originating at the top of the hill end. This resulted a rectangular Kashmiri layout rather than a square Persian layout.
An anecdote is told of the jealousy of the Emperor Shah Jahan on seeing such a beautiful garden, which led to the abandonment of the garden for some time.
When Shah Jahan saw the garden after its completion in 1633, he expressed great appreciation of its beauty. He expressed his delight three times to Asif Khan, his father-in-law, in the hope that he would make a gift of it to him. As no such offer was forthcoming from Asif Khan, Shah Jahan ordered that the water supply to the garden be cut off. Then, for some time, the garden was deserted.
Asif Khan was desolate and heartbroken. When he was resting under the shade of a tree, in one of the terraces, his servant was bold enough to turn on the water supply. When Asif Khan heard the sound of water and the fountains in action, he was startled and immediately ordered the disconnection of the water supply as he feared the worst reaction from the Emperor for this wanton act of disobedience. Fortunately for the servant and Khan, Shah Jahan was not disturbed or annoyed by the disobedience of his orders. Instead, he approved of the servant’s loyal service to his master, and ordered the full restoration rights for the supply of water to the garden.
The Mughal Garden in Srinagar is still a wonder to behold, and is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world.

One of the great features of the Barnett 1400 is the size of its cockpit. There is ample room for two adults with a generous footwell that allows for the sailors to have their legs below them vs at their chest. The depth of the cockpit is over 13 inches. What does this mean to you, it means you can spend the whole day sailing and be comfortable and not crammed into a boat.
The Barnett 1400 is easy to launch. Getting your boat out on the water should be easy. The Barnett 1400 is a breeze to launch from shore, or move it around either by hand or with a dolly. This boat is built strong but light and two people can easily lift and launch it.
If you are a trailer sailor, nothing is easier then rigging on the trailer and putting in the water.
The Barnett 1400 is the only sailboat of its size that offers an optional jib kit. Are you looking for more performance? The jib kit offers you the opportunity to experience the benefits of single mainsail and then be able to switch too a main and jib combination. No other boat this size offers this.
Your new boat is built with quality in mind. All hardware is Harken on the 1400. Your mast is a two piece Windward mast designed to be put together and taken apart with ease. It is clear coat annodized for long life and durability.

Kara suggested that I might fill in some NaBloPoMo posts with stories from my teenage years. I am not sure that I can give a story a day because that would just be too traumatic but I will give one story.
When I was about 17, I went down town with my mother and there was a tall handsome Pres boy collecting money for SHARE. “Hello William,” said she. “Anne,” said my mother, “you remember William, you used to play together all the time, you were great friends when you were children.” And I did remember William, last seen when I was eight. But I had not been aware that he was handsome then. Remember, gentle reader, I attended a single sex school and my exposure to young men consisted almost (although not entirely) of exposure to my younger brother’s friends. I blushed to the roots of my hair (and I was a brilliant blusher) and was unable to say a word. I muttered something. I died.
About ten years later who did I run into in Dublin, only William. By then I had been through college and my relationship with men was entirely different. I was filled with confidence. What a co-incidence: what was he doing? Was he working in Dublin? How was his mother (great friend of my mother’s and source of our limited acquaintance)? “Gosh, I haven’t seen you in years,” I said. “Yes,” he said, with deplorable, though accurate, recall, “not since that time when I was collecting for SHARE on Patrick St and I met you with your mother and you went bright red and couldn’t say anything.” I died.
The motto of this story is that, contrary to what your mother says, not all of these things are forgotten and actually, people do notice.

The economic crisis is obvious, there is no one person who has not affected, some more than others, but at the end, after all. The trade demand, the bass, the purchase low sales accordingly declined. Some companies suffered losses greater than others; However, you no give us up, since there are many options to go forward. One of the most recommended by economists options are investment funds. Investment funds is something impossible to achieve, at first because we don’t know what it is for a person who does not study economics, administration or something similar, and second because we do not know how to do it.
For the crisis we do not glue we need get the batteries and not leave that an obstacle as not knowing that he is, leave us out of what economists say a great opportunity of economic recovery. Investment funds is the most basic moves in the stock market is the way to start for all those who want to venture to a new business, in which you can win much but for that you need know. An investment fund is the set of investors who decide to join in a society for a specific purpose. This means that there may be funds that invest in fixed income, shares of companies, equities, etc. Each investor can enter a background depending on your needs and your budget.

It is nearly seventy years since an American, named Catlin, set out from his home in Wyoming to travel westwards through the great country which was then only inhabited by Indians and wild animals, but is now full of flourishing towns.
In the course of one of these journeys Catlin fell very ill, and it was many weeks before he was fit to leave his bed. When, however, he got better again, he sent for his horse, Charley, which had grown fat on prairie grass —and looked very unlike his master—and the two prepared to start for the Eiver Missouri, more than five hundred miles away.
Catlin's heavy luggage was sent by steamer to meet him at St. Louis, on the Mississippi, but there was still a good deal left for Charley to carry. A bear-skin and a buffalo robe were spread across his saddle, a coffee-pot and a teacup were tied to it, a small portmanteau was fastened somewhere else, and in the portmanteau was a supply of hard biscuits ; while Catlin sat in any space that was left, with a little compass in his pocket to show him which way to go, and a gun and a pair of pistols in his belt, in case man or beast should attack him.
So day after day Charley and his master rode on toward the north, through plains of grass all covered with flowers. Every night when the sun set Catlin jumped off and unloaded his horse, which he tied up, or ' picketed,' with a long rope, so that Charley should have plenty of room for feeding. Then he lit a fire to keep off |

A few years ago, when we were still having to buy coconut trees to plant, I lined the 'avenida' (which goes across part of False Bluff) with the tallest coconut trees I could find locally. This roadway divides the dock part of the property from the part of the property that will eventually house small cabins facing the water. The new fence goes along one side of this roadway, directly in front of one of the two lines of coconut trees which edge it. And, of course, now lemon grass also lines the edge of the roadway where the fence is.
So we have two lines of coconut trees which meander across part of the property, with a fence along one of the lines, and a row of lemon grass. Eventually, there will be tall coconut trees and low clumps of lemon grass.
NOTE: A reader identified this plant as 'Allamanda,' prolific in the tropics of Central and South America. Thanks Joe!
There are three of these shrubs planted between each pair of coconut trees, just behind the lemon grass. So what we will have, again, eventually, are tall coconut trees, mid-size blooming shrubs and low clumps of lemon grass.
When that happens I'll post pictures. Until then here's the plant in full bloom and you'll just have to imagine the rest:

Meet double bassist and long time supplier of the low-end for Lamb, Jon Thorne. It’s been 15-odd years since Jon came to some prominence as bassist with experimental trip hop duo Lamb, seamlessly integrating the double bass within electronic dance music. And for Jon, his musical journey seems to have come full circle.
You Are The Instrument
For me, the most important realisation you can come to in your search to becoming a better musician is that you are the instrument. Not the bass. The benefits of this are extremely liberating. It means you are not constrained by what you are physically able to play. You are only limited by what you are able to hear in your head, which is a skill that can be continually improved upon. It also means that your growth as a musician can happen at any time, not just when you’re with your bass. Your connection to music will also be strengthened on any other instrument you may choose to play.
Even the most complicated chord is just a series of intervals stacked together. Hearing, recognising and emotionally experiencing musical intervals is absolutely key to becoming a more confident and accomplished player. To this end, break music down to its simplest components – one note relating to another. Learn everything thoroughly in one key, so that different intervals, arpeggios and chords (and their functions and patterns) become clear. Pick C, and sing all of the other 12 tones available against the root. Pick the foundation tones, major and minor 3rds, the 5th, a dominant and a major seventh, and sing them repeatedly as a mantra against the root until your ear can recognise them automatically. Register how these intervals make you feel. When you are feeling sufficiently confident, extend this idea to upper extensions, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and their alterations (flat 9th, sharp 9th, sharp 11th and flat 13th). Always think like a composer whenever you play.
Listen to your favourite music on the radio. Try to pick out the root movement of the chords and the intervals in the melody using only your ear. These skills are the stepping stones to becoming a better improviser, whatever style of music you are playing. Few people have perfect pitch, but with constant practice of this kind you will develop relative pitch remodeling group, which is equally useful. Music is the deepest and most universal form of communication. Keep an open mind to all forms of it. Music is the food of love. Play on! For more info visit: www.jonthorne.co.uk

I’ll never forget the first time I tasted these Antipasto Squares (and I’m sure my teammates who were with me won’t either).
We were at an away tennis match, where traditionally the home team provides a spread of food.
These little bites of ooey-gooey-love got our attention in a hurry.
I have no idea if we won or lost our match that day. However, there’s no question that leaving with the recipe for Antipasto Squares was a Win!
Jump to RecipeI have since made these yummy squares many times. Most recently I shared a batch at a neighborhood gathering. They were a hit!
The smell of warm buttery croissants alone draws you in.
Combine that with all your favorite Italian meats and cheeses and you’ve got flavor magic.
The roasted red peppers give them that familiar antipasto flavor which all comes together as they bake.
There’s no question, these Antipasto Squares are rich. I found cutting them into 1 1/2″ squares gives you a nice two-bite sample that’s easy to handle and allows you to come back for more with no very little guilt ;)
These are a fantastic party food served warm or perhaps even better at room temperature. And if you happen to be throwing a Game Day Party these Antipasto Squares are a fan favorite!
For my college kids cooking in an apartment…. Make these!! They’re so easy and everyone will love them!
All my best,

Our tertiary institute was conceptualised in 1987, when Hiroshi Ohashi, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees - then and today, with other experts in the educational field across the Pacific-Rim nations assembled and discussed ‘an ideal model for an innovative approach to tertiary education in the 21st century'.
Dr Kay Andersen, former Executive Director of WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges, USA) was appointed as Director and supported Ohashi to lead the discussion. Dr Anderson's expertise in tertiary education and governmental approval procedures made a significant contribution to the project. Professor Emeritus Herbert Passin, from Columbia University, also joined the project. His inexhaustible knowledge of tertiary education, and the societies of the USA and Japan propelled the promotion of the project.
The discussion continued over a year and a half, delivering a new grand scheme for establishing a tertiary educational system with a consortium of campuses in Pacific-Rim nations, where credits would be transferrable and students could obtain a degree at any campus when all credits required for graduation were complete.
Our tertiary institute - known for 25 years until 2015 as IPC (International Pacific College) - was established as the first campus of the scheme in 1990, the year of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of New Zealand. Criteria for this establishment as envisaged by Chairman Ohashi included:
- The campus must be developed in an environment where students' lives, assets and safety would be guaranteed.
- The host country of the campus must offer globally-competitive tertiary education.
- An ideal, clean natural environment should be readily available around the campus for students to enjoy their collegiate life.
Our institute, the first campus of the grand scheme, satisfied these three requirements and has successfully supported students coming from many corners of the world with their studies. Both international students living in New Zealand, away from their home countries, and domestic students looking to create an international career. In 2000, the 10th anniversary year of IPC, the Postgraduate Programmes was launched, and the range of education greatly expanded. Today, students from some two dozen countries live and study on our campus in Palmerston North while we have cooperative links with many tertiary institutions and secondary schools throughout Asia.
The quality and achievements of our global education have been highly recognised by NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority), and we continuously received the highest result of “Category 1 (Highly Confident)” at the EER (External Evaluation and Review) in 2019.
The second campus of the scheme opened in 2007 in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. The International Pacific University, whose philosophy is to combine pedagogy, teacher education and physical education, has become a leading university in Chugoku region in Japan since its establishment.
Our institution, as the first campus in the scheme, has continued to develop our educational services with postgraduate qualifications, undergraduate degree - the Bachelor of Contemporary International Studies (BCIS) with a strong emphasis on International Business as well as its other majors (International Relations, Japanese Studies, and, TESOL & Language Studies). In April 2016, the Japanese government approved 福利在线视频 Japan to launch the Bachelor of Contemporary Business Management. These developments have enabled more active exchange of students and faculty between the two campuses, which was the vision stated at the outset of the grand scheme.
Reflecting on the scheme with its proposed wide reach, an application was lodged with NZQA to change our trading name. The application was approved and we initiated the rebranding process in September 2015. Today we are known as the Institute of the Pacific United New Zealand, in short, 福利在线视频 New Zealand (both names are officially registered). This name is more clearly indicative of the extent of our reach and linkages from New Zealand across the Pacific and into Asia.
Preparations are under way for establishing of the third international campus as further development of the original grand scheme. As the first campus and the central hub of the scheme, 福利在线视频 New Zealand will continue developing itself as a unique tertiary institute in the Pacific-Rim nations, with its strong focus on Asia.

PAT for urgent action to resolve Balochistan crisis
Expressing his grave concern over the target killing in Quetta, Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani, President of Pakistan Awami Tehreek, has condemned the horrific wave of killings that has gone on unabated for last many weeks. He said that situation in Balochistan in general had hit rock bottom and every Pakistan was worried over the direction the country was taking. He warned of anti-Pakistan elements who wanted to conspire against the country.
PAT President expressed these views while talking delivering a telephonic talk at a meeting of PAT Balochistan office holders the other day.
Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani said that the ruling elite was more concerned about politicking than in resolving the national crises bedeviling the country. He asked the government to reset its priorities in the light of new challenges to the country’s security, sovereignty and integrity from both within and without.
PAT President said that the anti-Pakistan forces wanted to create a situation like one that existed in 1971 when the country was halved. He said that putting an end to incidents such as target killing was very important to prevent the repeat of the situation.
Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani said that Balochistan was integral part of Pakistan but the entire nation was duty bound to play their role for national security and sovereignty at both collective and individual levels. He said that it was national responsibility of every Pakistani to work for the country’s integrity by rising above divide of every kind, be it linguistic, and ethnic etc.
PAT President underscored the need of addressing the grievances of the federating units and urged the federal and provincial governments to work out a national policy in this respect. He said that if all strands of national and political opinion got together for the sake of country, there was no reason why threats posed to Balochistan could not be foiled.
Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani urged the people to wake up and work hard for bringing about real change in the country through peaceful means.

A few last highlights of our time in La Paz
Walks and Friends
We found other kids on sailboats in La Paz. We were very happy to find another 5 yr old boy, Cooper, from sailboat Whiz. He and Kyle had a great time chasing pelicans, playing at a park, and having a bite to eat. Hopefully we’ll see Cooper again further south in Mexico. I wish I'd had my camera when we went to the park with Frances, 5, and Eleanor, 7 (I think) from Del Viento. They are headed North to the Pacific Northwest.
The malecon is still one of our favorite walks. Sad news to report though – the tail on the manta ray was broken off last week.
The pictures below are from the area just North and East of Marina Palmira where we like to go for walks. There is the walk up to the cross and also an area thick with saguaro cacti that we enjoy walking in. Kyle likes the trash area that unfortunately comes before the nice saguaro trails. There is lots of construction debris that he marvels at.

In the first game of this unexpected road trip, the Lady Hillcats scored first when senior Katy Taylor stole home base.
The second and third innings went scoreless. Junior Kayla Eichler put the Lady Eagles on the scoreboard with a homerun over left field, her second homerun of the season, to tie the game 1-1.
Rogers State answered with two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to regain the lead 1-3.
Down by two, Oklahoma Christian opened the seventh inning with three runs to win the game 4-3.

Senior Kaylie Upton started in the circle for Oklahoma Christian. She threw five innings with two strikeouts, giving up three runs. Senior Madison Hagood (5-9) relieved Upton in the sixth inning to end the game, allowing no runs and striking out three. Hagood was credited with the win.
The second game of the doubleheader began with two runs by Oklahoma Christian in the top of the first inning. Fuller scored on a single up the middle by Nordyke. Then, Nordyke scored on a fielding error by Rogers State to record another run.
The Lady Hillcats scored one in the bottom of the inning to decrese the Lady Eagles lead to one, 2-1.

American Universities and Non-Profit-Organizations to benefit from a Free Website Security Audit offered by Acunetix
Kirkland, Washington – January 09, 2007 – Institutions for higher education and Not-For-Profit Organizations are experiencing a surge in attempts aimed at hacking their data. The more recent known examples were perpetrated against UCLA, the University of Texas, and Mississippi State University. Acunetix, a leading vendor of web application security solutions, is offering all American Universities and Not-for-profit Organizations a complimentary website audit through its recently launched service, Acunetix SiteAudit.
Last month, a hacker infiltrated a massive database from the University of California, Los Angeles, containing personal information (including social security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses and contact information) on 800,000 people in one of the worst computer breaches ever at a US university.
“There is a general lack of awareness about web application security,” stated K. J. Vella, VP Sales and Operations at Acunetix. “Organizations, in general, do not realize if your web apps are weak, hackers will find a way to get in and steal your data. What makes the situation worse is that you’ll never know they’ve been in. Hackers will not leave a trail, your data will still remain there but a copy of it resides in its entirety elsewhere either for immediate sale or for later use.” “Buyers could use the data to fraudulently apply for cell phones, credit cards or to launch cyber terrorist attacks. Whichever the aim, organizations are duty-bound to protect the data entrusted them,” explained Vella.
University systems are usually highly decentralized which makes it hard to ensure tight security. Furthermore, Not-for-profit organizations might not have the in-house expertise needed to run auditing software efficiently and effectively, nor want to maintain in-house testing since this adds to overhead.
Acunetix is, therefore, offering the possibility of having their website audited at no cost.
“SiteAudit normally retails for $395. We are now offering Universities and Not-for-Profit Organizations the opportunity to get their website and web applications checked by one of the leading solutions found on the market place today for free. Our web security experts will audit a website and issue a full report,” explained Vella.
- Provides an immediate and comprehensive website security audit
- Ensures website is secure against web attacks
- Checks for SQL injection, Cross site scripting and other vulnerabilities
- Audits shopping carts, forms, and dynamic content
More information about Acunetix SiteAudit is available at: http://www.acunetix.com/site-audit/.
How to apply
Universities and Non-Profit-Organizations can apply for a free site audit by visiting http://www.acunetix.com/site-audit/us-universities.htm or by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.org, including general contact details and website URL.

We were the only tourists in Old Cairo that day.
On our right, we saw the Sabil of the son of Muhammad Ali Pasha. Here, water was carried from the Nile and stored in a cistern (Sabil) to provide water for the poor. We could not get in but continued up the awakening street. Narrow alleys branched off. These alleys used to hide the workshops or Khans of artisans: the leather workers, the silversmiths, the weavers. It reminded me of parts of the city of London where names of old streets, for example, Ironmongers Lane, still record their old purpose.
In Arab architecture, the outdoors is hot and hostile. Its buildings reflect the inner life of coolness, family and privacy. So we were not entirely surprised on being shown through a non-descript door to find ourselves in the previously concealed Al-Mu'ayyad Mosque. Glorious stained glass windows high above us filtered hostile sunlight into a shaded and cool space. I learned something, new about the Mirhab that is to be found in every mosque. I knew that one purpose was to indicate the direction of Mecca. However, its shell-like shape also reflects the voice of the imam leading the prayers back behind him to the prayerful.
We returned to the street to find that not everything was serious. A few young Cairenes were also visiting. They had hired period costumes to have their photographs taken. Over his jeans and T-shirt, the young man wore an elaborate black cloak and had enhanced his look with a false beard and a tarbouche. The two young women, already very attractive in modern dress and hijab, had put on the full niqab, albeit its black material festooned with bright embroidery and pailettes. One of them, entirely aware of the effect she was having, flashed kohled eyes through the narrow slit. While we wondered whether to take photographs,they invited us to join in. No doubt, we are now strangely adorning somebody's Facebook page in Cairo.
First floor windows jutted out over the street. The windows were covered with dark wooden fretwork. From here, the women would have looked out on a world that would never see them.
Another blank door, a few steps and we were in the bright, sunlit courtyard of the El Ashraf Brisbay Madrassa. Its cool cloister was marked out with columns. In its day, the courtyard would have been full of students in a swirl of robes, hurrying to the particular pillar, at which they knew to expect a particular professor to deliver the lecture they wanted.
A diversion to our right brought us to the Bayt al-Sihaymi,the house of a 17th century merchant. Rich merchants have not changed their habits much; this mansion was two houses knocked into one. We stood in the festival room, where the men had sat on divans to watch dancers. The women had their own rooms for entertainment. They would have watched female dancers performing Raqs Sharqi, the gentler and less exotic form of belly dance. We were in the house of a family that knew how to live well, what a treat it would have been to spend a day in the house's library when it was full of books.
Our last call was Sultan Inal's Hammam. It no longer functions but we loved all the familiar elements of a hammam, the steam rooms, the marble slab and light
through coloured glass stars in domed ceilings.
We emerged from Al-Mu'ezz Li-Dîn Illâh, to give the street its proper name, at Bab Al-Nasr, the gate through which Egypt's victorious armies returned to the city. We turned right towards the Khan el-Khalili and finished our tour in the traditional coffee house, El Lord. We sat on divans among brilliant tapestries and carpets, drinking coffee and mint tea, we felt at home. On the wall were photographs of some of Egypt's former leaders with such as Colonel Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein; smiling faces of men who thought they would rule forever.
For a few hours, we had felt part of old Cairo. Egypt needs its tourists back. We met nothing but friendship and care for our safety. My message to travellers is, please return to this city and to Egypt.

They died of cyanide poisoning and gunshot wounds.
The Peoples Temple
The bodies of 912 people were found – these included men, women and children, in a commune style settlement in the middle of Guyana, in South America.
This news came shortly after the reported death of a US Congressman Leo Ryan and his entourage, who were reportedly murdered at the airstrip while attempting to leave.
Slowly the news filtered in, and as it did, the horrible truth was revealed.
Jim Jones was not a fan of the US Government. He did not like the democratic society, which would allow his followers the freedom to do as they wished, instead of how he desired. His dream was to create a settlement in a land where the US Government had no say. Where he would not be censored and made to follow others rules. Before long he entered into a lease agreement with the Guyanese Government for over 3,000 acres of land in a remote area in the middle of a jungle.
Although far from complete, several hundred members of Peoples Temple flew to Guyana overnight, fleeing from the United States due to an expose which was to be released on Jim Jones. This article was a ‘tell all’ document, including interviews with ex-members – those who got out alive anyway.
With nearly a thousand people now in residence at Guyana, things were not going well. There were not enough buildings to house everyone. Segregation was enforced, creating male and female dormitories, which included the separation of married couples. People worked 11 hour days, planting crops, building accommodation etc, and were forced to listen to the propaganda of Jim Jones on a loud speaker all day, and very often into the night. This did not please many of the exhausted members of Peoples Temple, who simply wanted to sleep.
As far as he could see, everything looked fine. The people looked happy and content with their lot in life. Jim Jones appeared a benevolent benefactor who loved and provided for his large family. Congressman Ryan was ready to leave and fly home, satisfied with his dealings and ready to proclaim that this created utopia was working, when he was slipped a note at dinner with the names of people who were desperate to flee.
Ryan spoke one on one with some of the members, and they advised how they were unhappy with the arrangements, and wanted to leave, but the compound was surrounded by miles and miles of jungle, as well as armed guards, so they did not like their chances.
Unfortunately for all involved, when they arrived at the airstrip, the planes were not ready for takeoff, so they were required to sit and wait. While they were waiting, trucks and tractors drove up to the planes on the strip and opened fire, killing 5 people, including US Congressman Leo Ryan.
Every ‘worst case scenario’ you can imagine, he told his followers, and they, trusting him, believed him. He said that the only way to prevent the painful death the US Government had planned for them was to take their own lives, in what he termed ‘the revolutionary act’... A tape of the Temple's final meeting was recorded. It contains repeated discussions of the group committing "revolutionary suicide", including reference to people taking poison and the vats to be use.
Many did try to flee when it came time to drink the poison, but they were shot by the armed guards who were always present. Not all were killed though – it was estimated that there were over 1100 people in the compound at the time of the mass suicide, with 912 dying from poison or gunshot wounds. The rest fled into the jungles.
Jim Jones died from a single gunshot wound to the head. It is not clear if he shot himself, or if someone else took the shot for him.

Welcome to my webpage.
I am an Assistant Professor of Comparative and South Asian Politics at Boston College. I received my Ph.D. in Government at Cornell University in 2018. During the academic year 2018-2019, I was a Lecturer in Contemporary India at King’s College London.
My research investigates the impact of institutional change in the field of poverty alleviation on the strategies pursued by political parties in rural India. In my dissertation, I focused specifically on the Right to Work Legislation that has been enforced in India since 2005, and its translation into public policy, the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme or NREGS. My field work has led me to explore the distortions to policy implementation, and what these distortions tell us about the way political entrepreneurs attempt to capture public resources for political benefit.
My broader research interests include the political economy of development, institutions, political parties, ethnicity and the politics of foreign aid. My research has been published in World Development.
My Ph.D. research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Graduate School and the Government Department at Cornell University. I also have experience working in post-conflict and post-disaster environments, with a focus on political transitions.
On this page, you may find my CV; information about my research, including working papers; syllabi for courses I have been either Teaching Assistant or Instructor for and information on my experience as a development professional.

Clothing and fashion should only ever serve to make you feel confident, to express yourself, and of course to help you stay warm. That doesn’t mean that you can’t feel good about yourself even in the most casual of settings like your home. Think about how nice it feels to have on a matching underwear and bra set. It’s funny that it would have that effect, considering no one sees it except for you and maybe your significant other.
So, does that mean that you can feel that same thing if you know you look good on the outside? I believe the answer is “yes” as long as what you’re wearing serves with comfort and function, too. Here are some ways to be fashionable and comfortable at home.
Be Fashionable And Comfortable At Home #1: Wear Comfortable Shoes that Are You
Though some women don’t even wear shoes at home, I believe it’s worth a quick note. With ath-leisure all the rage in the fashion realm, casual comfie shoes aren’t hard to find. So, I’m not just talking about house shoes slippers. But, hey, I’m not knocking your fluffy bunny slippers…
I recommend that you try various comfortable shoes that might take you out to run a quick errand as well. There is merit in saving time and energy. And, you never know who might show up at your door while you’re casually lounging around.
Be Fashionable And Comfortable At Home #2: Ath-Leisure at It’s Best
There are many flexible clothing items that you might choose to wear at home such as a sweatshirt, the age-old ‘joggers’ or comfortable sweaters. Of course, these items all have their place. That said, let’s discuss that “feeling good about yourself” thing for a sec…
What if you just put more thought into your “at home” wardrobe? You can damn well be fashionable and comfortable if you invest some time and a little money. Places like TJMaxx and Target offer a wide selection of athletic wear and ath-leisure pieces. Look for items that catch your eye…yeah, you want to love them. This is your time to treat yourself to clothing that suits you when you’re the most relaxed you’ll ever be. It calls for positive feelings, a side of confidence and a sprinkle of sexy. What? You don’t think you should have to be sexy at home? Ask your significant other about that one.
Be Fashionable And Comfortable At Home #3: Indulgence Pieces
Sometimes wearing extravagant pieces like a silk nightgown can help you not only relax in your home but to feel confident and sexy. I believe that lingerie empires like Victoria’s Secret would concur.
Not into lingerie, how about a special hooded tunic and a pair of jeggings with your favorite hair accessory? You can do whatever you want and wear whatever you want in your home, after all. Indulge in the things that make you happy and will set you up for a pleasant time alone or with friends and family.

The interior is open but each functional area feels distinct thanks to the clever division . At first glance, the kitchen looks like one smooth expanse of cabinets with no worktops in sight. It allows for a clean and minimalist appearance, but the real surprise hides inside. Sliding doors reveal a fully equipped workspace with a small range and sink. Large cabinets expand storage space overhead.

A casino is a gambling establishment that offers visitors a range of games of chance and entertainment. It is often a flashy and extravagant place with lots of places to eat and drink, and an energetic atmosphere where people get together to try their luck at games like poker or roulette. Casinos can be intimidating places for newbies and those who have never gambled before. They are filled with loud music and clinking coins, and there’s no telling when the next big win will come their way.
The casino experience is different for each person, but there are certain things that all people will need to be able to do in order to enjoy themselves. This includes the ability to make decisions, gamble responsibly, and keep the money they have won. Having these skills is important when you are in a casino because it will help you keep your gambling habits under control and prevent any problems that could arise from excessive gambling.
Despite the fact that there are some games of chance that require skill, most casino games are based solely on luck and have mathematical odds that ensure that the house will always win. The casino profits from these odds by charging players a vig or rake, which is a percentage of the total amount bet. In addition, the casino offers free items to “good” players, known as comps. These may include food, drinks or show tickets. Some casinos even offer hotel rooms, airline tickets and limo services to big spenders.
A successful casino needs to provide an environment that is safe, secure and fun for all its customers. Using state-of-the-art encryption technology and being regularly audited by third parties will help to build trust. Having a variety of payment options is also key, as this will appeal to more players. Having top-tier software providers, such as NetEnt or Amatic, will add to the reputation of the casino.
As the gambling industry continues to evolve, marketers need to focus on demographics less and less as an indicator of customer behavior. Instead, the focus should be on understanding what makes a casino unique and how to promote those features in a way that reaches new audiences.
Whether they are looking for an adrenaline rush or a place to unwind, casino visitors have one thing in common – they want to feel good. Keeping this in mind when designing the space can go a long way in attracting and retaining guests. From the carpet to the ceiling, every detail has an impact on how a casino feels.

Cheerios don’t seem like a very healthy food, yet they always boast about how great they are for your heart. They even have an endorsement from the American Heart Association. The key ingredient that makes cheerios healthy (not tasty, but healthy) is whole grains.
If a product is whole grain, that means everything included in the grain made its way into the product. Think about some whole grain breads with seeds in them or pieces of oat, that’s definitely whole grain!
Refined grains are the opposite, less-healthy version. To make refined grains, manufacturers will remove the outer layer of the seed (bran) and inner kernel of nutrients (germ). These parts of the grain are excellent for your body.
The bran is a thick outer layer that protects the grain. It’s filled with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The germ houses many other nutrients. Refined grains strip away both and leave you with the endosperm of the grain, which tends to have a smoother texture and lighter color (think of white bread).
If you hear someone saying “stay away from processed carbs” they’re usually talking about refined grains and sugars. Unfortunately, it’s common to see carbs as devoid of nutrients and unhealthy due to the staggering amount of refined grains in the average person’s diet.
The truth is that you should eat carbs often, just make sure they’re whole grain! Harvard health says that eating whole grains reduces LDL cholesterol (the bad kind), triglyceride levels, and insulin. That’s why Cheerios can brag about being heart healthy.
There’s even some evidence that eating whole grains can reduce your risk of certain types of cancer. The point is, you should include them in your diet. Aim for 2-3 servings per day if you can.
Some common whole grain foods are:
- Whole grain bread
- Black or brown rice
- Whole wheat flour
Somewhere in that list you can find foods that you’ll like. It might not be whole wheat flour or whole wheat pasta, but other grains like oatmeal or popcorn might be tantalizing. Explore your options but remember to shoot for 2-3 servings per day!

ALLIGATOR GOES FOR A SWIM AT FLORIDA BEACH
Beachgoers in Bonita Springs, Fla., were treated to a strange sight last week: an alligator going for a swim.
“Rare alligator sighting today at the Island!” Capt. Jessica DeGraw of Island Time Dolphin and Shelling Cruises, Inc. posted on the cruise company’s Instagram page.
The video shows the gator swimming in the water before coming ashore on Big Hickory Island.
“First time I’ve ever seen it on Big Hickory Preserve,” DeGraw told Fox 13.
According to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, it’s rare to see alligators in the ocean since they are freshwater animals.
“There are many things you may encounter when swimming in the ocean. Alligators probably aren’t one of them,” the agency said on its website.
“While alligators can tolerate salt water for a few hours or even days, they are primarily freshwater animals, living in swampy areas, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds,” the government agency said.
The Sunshine State is known for its reptilian incidents. A 47-year-old Florida woman was dragged by an alligator into a pond and killed. Another gator was caught on video head-butting a trapper.

Indiana Pacers swingmen Victor Oladipo and Lance Stephenson bless our summer with a pair of songs as we wait for the season to begin.
Eddie Cochran once sang there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues, but Indiana Pacers swingmen Victor OIadipo and Lance Stephenson are doing their best to find an antidote for you.
V.O. released a track called “Song for You” and damn, does the man have pipes.
Seriously, I was thinking this was a professional singer that would lead into Oladipo’s own vocals but no, that’s Oladipo you’re listening to belt out a ballad.
I had no idea the man is a legitimate singing talent. As an NBA fan you get used to players dropping average to well-below average tracks, so to hear a dude just belt out something like that it is legitimately stunning. I’m not savvy enough to tell how well he rates again professional artists, but among NBA players he is in the top ranks.
If nothing else the trade for Oladipo has bolstered the Pacers karaoke squad.
Lance Stephenson drops another banger, you Better Believe It
It’s summertime, which means it is time for Born Ready to give us another track.
The song is a bit formulaic, but Stephenson makes it work. Sometimes simple isn’t such a bad thing either as he does his own sort of call and response.
The only thing I particularly don’t like is the heavy use of auto-tune at the end. Maybe next time Stephenson and Oladipo can team up with Lance on the verses and Victor dropping the hook.
While I’m not as impressed with Lance as I am with Dipo, Stephenson is a decent to above average NBA rapper. He’s shown us in the past he can drop a few bars and isn’t a stranger to following a beat.
Which singer-player do you like better? Let us know in the comments below who you want to hear in your headphones.

Michael Fumento writes in the New York Post today of the memories held by those who best knew Medal of Honor recipient Michael Monsoor, plus his own:
APRIL 2006: I was embedded as a photo-journalist in the meanest part of the meanest city in Iraq — Ramadi. Here the bad guys ruled. Leaving your base camp virtually guaranteed a fight. I got one the first day. When shots rang out, I jumped into the street and started snapping away. I looked back and saw a tall Navy SEAL seemingly pointing his MK48 medium machine gun right at me. In fact, he was protecting me and his teammates.
Yesterday, in one of the most secure areas of the world, the White House, it was time for this strange reunion, to celebrate the fourth Medal of Honor given for actions in Iraq — all posthumous. The survivors of SEAL Team 3 showed up, including one blinded in both eyes. Representatives of 1/506th were present, as well as various dignitaries, to hear President Bush praise Monsoor’s actions and give the medal to his proud but weeping parents.“By his undaunted courage, fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of certain death, Petty Officer Monsoor gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service,” his citation read in part.
But the SEALs have their own ways of honoring their fallen. In an earlier action, for which he was also decorated, Monsoor had saved yet another SEAL’s life. His Aunt Patty sent me a photo she’d received of a tattoo that the SEAL had imprinted on his arm. The tattoo shows Monsoor with his machine gun and in full battle dress, but also wearing angel wings. Alongside it is the prayer to Saint Michael, which some Catholics recite in defense against the forces of darkness. The prayer entreats the Archangel to “defend us in battle” and be our protection against wickedness.
At the Pentagon today, MA2 (SEAL) Monsoor will be inducted into the Hall of Heroes and his family will receive a flag for Medal of Honor recipients at the Navy Memorial.

Carrie Underwood has been pretty shy when it comes to taking selfies lately. In November, she took a nasty fall that required her to get 40 stitches in her face. But she broke her selfie silence last week when she posted a pic of herself and husband Mike Fisher for a worthy cause: ending human trafficking and slavery. "Together, we're in it to end it!"
The red "X" is a symbol of the End It Movement organization. Her fans were sharing a lot of support for her too, commenting on how beautiful she is regardless of any scars she may have....and so on.

Lead neurotoxicity has been studied in animal models to induce neurodegeneration. The study was aimed to evaluate the attenuating effects of quercetin on spatial memory impairment and degenerative changes in hippocampus of lead exposed rats. Thirty (30) Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups of five rats per group (each, n = 5). Groups I (control) and II were administered distilled water and lead, respectively for 42 days. Lead was co-administered with Quercetin and Succimer for Groups III and VI, respectively for 42 days. Groups IV and V were administered lead for 21 days and treated with Quercetin for Group IV and Succimer for Group V for another 21 days. The administration was orally, once per day and lasted for 42 days. Spatial memory was assessed using Eight-arm radial water maze (8-ARWM) test. The rats were anaesthetized with Ketamine at 75 mg/kg intraperitoneally and euthanized. Brain was harvested, processed, Haematoxylin and Eosin stains were used for histo¬logical study of the hippocampus and cells were counted. Results showed spatial memory was impaired and histopatho¬logy such as vacuolation, pyknotic and reduction in pyramidal cells count in CA3 region of hippocampus of lead exposed rats. How¬ever, treat¬ment with quercetin improved spatial memory and histopatho¬logy. Thus, quercetin could be used as an antidote in lead neurotoxicity.
Key words: Lead, quercetin, memory, neurodegeneration.

Everyone has moles (also known as “nevi”), sometimes 40 or more. Most people think of a mole as a dark brown spot, but moles have a wide range of appearance. They can be raised from the skin very noticeable, contain dark hairs, or they may be dangerous. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin- alone or in groups. They are usually brown in color and can be various sizes and shapes. The brown color is caused by melanocytes, special cells that produce the pigment melanin. Moles are probably determined before a person is born. Most appear during the first 20 years of a person’s life, although some may not appear until later in life. Sun exposure increases the number of moles. Each mole has its own growth pattern. At first, moles are flat and tan, pink, brown or black in color, like a freckle. Over time, they usually enlarge and some develop hairs. As the years pass, moles usually change slowly, becoming more raised and lighter in color. Some will not change at all. Most moles will slowly disappear, seeming to fade away. Others will become raised so far from the skin that they may develop a small “stalk” and eventually fall off or are rubbed off. This is the typical life cycle of the common mole. These changes occur slowly since the life cycle of the average mole is about 50 years. Moles may darken, with exposure to the sun. During the teen years, with birth control pills and pregnancy, moles often get darker and larger and new ones may appear. If your dermatologist finds an irregular mole, he or she will perform a biopsy by giving you a numbing injection near the mole and removing it. The mole will be sent to the pathologist who will then examine the sample.
For cancerous moles, your doctor will do a surgical procedure to remove it. If you have a mole that causes irritation when you shave, you may want to have it removed.
Mole removal takes only a short time and is usually done on an outpatient basis. Your doctor numbs the area around the mole and cuts it out, along with a margin of healthy skin if necessary. The procedure may leave a permanent scar.
If you notice that a mole has grown back, see your doctor promptly.

Getting arrested for a criminal offense is one of the most harrowing experiences one could possibly go through. That is why the court gives ample time for legal preparation by allowing the defendant to file for bail. If you are not familiar with the bail bonds terminology, applying for bail may not be a simple process. To help you get acquainted with several terms and concepts related to bail bonds, we have created this guide.
What Are Bail Bonds?
For the defendant, a bail bond is a written promise signed by the guarantor and the accused. In this case, the guarantor is the bail bond agent. Assuring the court that the defendant will attend the trial as scheduled is the main purpose of signing this document. If the defendant has complied fully with all of the requirement, the bail bond company will pay the bail amount upon signing the agreement.
Bail bond companies generally require collateral. Personal properties, an outstanding credit rating, securities, or other sources may serve as collateral. At least ten percent of the total bond amount is typically charged by bail bond companies.
- Bail – The term bail refers to the money you pay to a bail agent or to the court, though many people today use bail bonds and bail interchangeably.
- Bail Condition – To ensure the defendant will appear during the trial, the court sets out specific conditions. Unless there are other factors that must be taken into account, most of the time, the court only requires the defendant to comply with these conditions.
- Bond – Stipulating the amount of bail that a defendant must pay to the bail bond agent and the specific dates of the court hearing, a bond functions as a contract. If you cannot afford the bail amount, defendants can sign this contract with a bail bondsman. The court can also receive direct payment in cash from the defendant.
- Collateral – Collateral is property or goods that is used as security against a bond or loan. If the conditions are not satisfactorily met by the defendant, a collateral item is automatically forfeited. Electronic gadgets, houses, boats, jewelry, and cars are often used as collateral.
- Defendant – The person accused of a crime is known as the defendant.
- Forfeiture – For the trial, the defendant is clearly required by the court to attend. The bond company will be notified by the court if this requirement is not met. The court will set another date in some instances. The whole bail amount will not be returned if the defendant fails to appear again. To keep track of the defendant’s whereabouts, a fugitive recovery agent may be hired by the bail bond company sometimes.
- Indemnitor – If the accused fails to do his part, in order to make sure someone will be held responsible, a defendant must find a co-signor for the bail bond. The co-signor, or indemnitor, will pay the entire bail amount to the bail bondsman or the court and be held accountable for all the legal expenses incurred during the trial.

SUNSTREAMS AND SHADOWS, by Cicely A. Rodway
This collection of poetry adds a new, distinctive, and bi-national voice to the growing international tradition of women’s writing. In a sense, it is a memoir in miniature. By reading this book, we join the poet on a reflective and cathartic life’s journey that begins with the poem Death of a Mother and ends some thirty years later with Sun Children, a celebratory poem for her grandchildren.
Rodway’s poems explore a wide and fascinating range of subjects, which focus on the personal and the political and on issues of class, gender, and racism.
“Her language reflects the commonplaces of domestic feeling struggling out of the commonplace, much like the confessional women poets of the American Sixties; its simplicities deceptive, like the quieter poems of Audre Lord, or Gwendolyn Brooks’s Brownsville poems, and like them reaching back to the populist vein in Langston Hughes.”
--Professor Anthony O’Brien, English Department, Queens College

Weight Gain and Change in Body Mass Index after Age 20 in the Brazilian Population and Associated Sociodemographic Factors: Data from the National Health Survey
Nathalia A. B. Souza; Karina A. Rimes-Dias; Janaina C. Costa; Daniela S. Canella
Obesity is considered one of the main contemporary public health problems. We aim to assess changes in body weight and nutritional status in adulthood and the associated sociodemographic variables. We use data from the 2013 National Health Survey (n = 21,743). Changes in weight and body mass index (BMI) were calculated based on mean difference between measurements at age 20 and data collected at the interview, stratified by sex. The association was analyzed using linear regression. Mean weight gain was greater among women than men. The largest gain was verified among the younger adults for both sexes. Age was found to be associated with weight and BMI change in men and women where, for every additional year of age, there was an increase in weight and BMI of 0.10 kg and 0.04 kg/m2 in men and of 0.22 kg and 0.09 kg/m2 in women, respectively. For education, a direct association was found for men and an inverse for women. Association with area of residence was significant among males only, where rural men gained less than their urban counterparts. Weight gain was progressive, being more marked in the younger group, and was associated with education differently according to sex.

Remediation of Manganese-Contaminated Coal-Mine Water Using Bio-Sorption and Bio-Oxidation by the Microalga Pediastrum duplex (AARLG060): A Laboratory-Scale Feasibility Study
Jakkapong Thongpitak | Jeeraporn Pekkoh | Chayakorn Pumas
Acidification occurs as a result of acid mine drainage after the oxidative weathering of metal sulfides. The acidic condition corrodes other toxic elements from the soil and becomes distributed around the operating site. Although coal mines go through a process of rehabilitation, water samples in the rehabilitated reservoir still reveal high concentrations of certain metals, for example, manganese (Mn). Both living and non-living biomass substances were used in Mn remediation. However, using non-living biomass as a sorbent may be inappropriate for the purposes of upscaling in high-volume water bodies. Thus, living microalga, Pediastrum duplex AARLG060, has become of significant interest for this type of application. The Mn remediation of microalga was performed by biosorption and bio-oxidation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of microalgal Mn remediation of the water obtained from a rehabilitated coal-mine reservoir. The equilibrium and isotherm values of the remediation process were also studied. The microalga was used to remediate Mn in water under three different water conditions, including filtrated water obtained from the rehabilitated site, non-filtrated water that was sterilized with an autoclave, and non-treated water. Remediation was performed by culturing microalga with modified medium consisting of N, P, C, and Mg nutrients. The remediated Mn concentration present in the cultures was detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The precipitated Mn was collected as a result of bio-oxidation, and EDTA was used to wash Mn from the biomass. This was designated as an adsorption result. Characterization of biosorption was evaluated by employing the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The results demonstrated that all treatments of living microalga could support Mn bio-oxidation. The Mn remediation was successfully performed at over 97% in every treatment. The adsorption characteristics revealed a close similarity to the Langmuir isotherm of monolayer adsorption. The scanning electron microscope–energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) indicated precipitation of Mn oxide on the cell surface, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the nanoparticles of Mn were scattered mainly in the chloroplast and throughout the vacuoles of the cells.

Elevated serum protein S100B and neuron specific enolase values as predictors of early neurological outcome after traumatic brain injury
Stefanović Branislava | Đurić Olivera | Stanković Sanja | Mijatović Srđan | Doklestić Krstina | Stefanović Branislav | Jovanović Bojan | Marjanović Nataša | Kalezić Nevena
Background: The objective of our study was to determine the serum concentrations of protein S100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) as well as their ability and accuracy in the prediction of early neurological outcome after a traumatic brain injury. Methods: A total of 130 polytraumatized patients with the associated traumatic brain injuries were included in this prospective cohort study. Serum protein S100B and NSE levels were measured at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the injury. Early neurological outcome was scored by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) on day 14 after the brain injury. Results: The protein S100B concentrations were maximal at 6 hours after the injury, which was followed by an abrupt fall, and subsequently slower release in the following two days with continual and significantly increased values (p< 0.0001) in patients with poor outcome. Secondary increase in protein S100B at 72 hours was recorded in patients with lethal outcome (GOS 1). Dynamics of NSE changes was characterized by a secondary increase in concentrations at 72 hours after the injury in patients with poor outcome. Conclusions: Both markers have good predictive ability for poor neurological outcome, although NSE provides better discriminative potential at 72 hours after the brain injury, while protein S100B has better discriminative potential for mortality prediction.

Transgenerational propagation and quantitative maintenance of paternal centromeres depends on Cid/Cenp-A presence in Drosophila sperm.
Nitika Raychaudhuri | Raphaelle Dubruille | Guillermo A Orsi | Homayoun C Bagheri | Benjamin Loppin | Christian F Lehner
In Drosophila melanogaster, as in many animal and plant species, centromere identity is specified epigenetically. In proliferating cells, a centromere-specific histone H3 variant (CenH3), named Cid in Drosophila and Cenp-A in humans, is a crucial component of the epigenetic centromere mark. Hence, maintenance of the amount and chromosomal location of CenH3 during mitotic proliferation is important. Interestingly, CenH3 may have different roles during meiosis and the onset of embryogenesis. In gametes of Caenorhabditis elegans, and possibly in plants, centromere marking is independent of CenH3. Moreover, male gamete differentiation in animals often includes global nucleosome for protamine exchange that potentially could remove CenH3 nucleosomes. Here we demonstrate that the control of Cid loading during male meiosis is distinct from the regulation observed during the mitotic cycles of early embryogenesis. But Cid is present in mature sperm. After strong Cid depletion in sperm, paternal centromeres fail to integrate into the gonomeric spindle of the first mitosis, resulting in gynogenetic haploid embryos. Furthermore, after moderate depletion, paternal centromeres are unable to re-acquire normal Cid levels in the next generation. We conclude that Cid in sperm is an essential component of the epigenetic centromere mark on paternal chromosomes and it exerts quantitative control over centromeric Cid levels throughout development. Hence, the amount of Cid that is loaded during each cell cycle appears to be determined primarily by the preexisting centromeric Cid, with little flexibility for compensation of accidental losses.

Biological clock in the prokaryote Synechococcus RF-1
Huang, T.C. | Chen, H.M. | Pen, S.Y. | Chen, T.H.
The prokaryote Synechococcus RF-1 exhibits circadian rhythms of nitrogen fixation and leucine uptake after being entrained in a diurnal light/dark regimen. The rhythms can also be established by small temperature changes, in either a raised- or a lowered-temperature cycle, within the growth-permissive range. At the biochemical level, the circadian oscillator in Synechococcus RF-1 controls, in addition to the nitrogenase, the synthesis rate at which more than ten polypeptides are synthesized. At the physiological and the biochemical levels, the overt rhythms have fixed phase relationships, though the phase is dependant on the particular induction stimuli. A "clock" consisting of a molecular complex which can respond differentially to different induction conditions is hypothesized.

The Fraction of Intercepted Radiation to Nitrogen Absorption as an Indicator for Assessing Physiological Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rice
Huang, Min | Chen, Jiana | Cao, Fangbo
Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency is important for achieving sustainable rice production in China. Physiological N use efficiency (PNUE) is a measure of a plant’s ability to convert absorbed N into biomass, and can be calculated as the product of the fraction of intercepted radiation to N absorption (FIRNA) and radiation use efficiency (RUE). This study evaluated the relationships between PNUE with FIRNA and RUE in three widely grown, high-yielding rice varieties using data obtained from two N fertilization experiments conducted in 2020 and 2021. The results show that PNUE was significantly positively related to FIRNA, but not significantly related to RUE in all three rice varieties. PNUE increased by 7.4–10.3 g g⁻¹ for each 10 MJ g⁻¹ increase in FIRNA. These results suggest that FIRNA can serve as an indicator for assessing PNUE in rice, which has implications for the phenotypic identification of rice varieties with high PNUE.

Characterization of Thrombolitic Bioherm Cyanobacterial Assemblages in a Meromictic Marl Lake (Fayetteville Green Lake, New York)
Wilhelm, Mary Beth | Hewson, Ian
The Fayetteville Green Lake is a small (0.258 km²) meromictic marl lake that is host to a thrombolitic bioherm inhabited by coccoid and filamentous cyanobacteria. To date there has been only limited study of bioherm cyanobacterial community ecology, and none focusing on their molecular diversity. Samples of the bioherm were collected along vertical and spatial transects on a portion of the thrombolite in early fall 2010. Cyanobacterial assemblage spatial variability and operational taxonomic unit composition was analyzed by automated rRNA intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA). A total of 123 cyanobacterial ARISA operational taxonomic units were observed across all fingerprints. Cyanobacterial assemblages were variable across depth and spatial gradients, and may be structured by gradients in light availability and habitat stability. Cyanobacterial community fingerprints were more taxonomic unit rich, diverse, and had greater fingerprint similarity in deeper samples than those at the surface. Several operational taxonomic units were common to all samples taken, while the majority of assemblage components were heterogeneous between transects and depths. Hence, our results suggest that cyanobacterial communities on the thrombolite in Green Lake represent a mixture of taxa that are selected for by prevailing physicochemical conditions, while other taxa are selected for on spatial scales of meters and may represent more specialized cyanobacteria on the thrombolite. Moreover, our data suggest that the depth-dependent structure of bioherm cyanobacterial assemblages may be a consequence of habitat conditions, which may include light intensity and quality, temperature variation and habitat stability.

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activity of Water Ethanol Extracts from the Mycelium of Inonotus rheades (Pers.) Bondartsev & Singer
Borovskaya M.K. | Gornostay T.G. | Borovskii G.B.
The important problem of current research is the search for bioactive natural compounds. We have previously demonstrated high in vitro antiradical activity of water ethanol extracts (WEE) from the mycelium species of the genus Inonotus rheades. In the present study we evaluated the effect of 30% and 70% of WEE from mycelium I. rheades on the cell culture of human tumor cells HEp-2.50% cell death is achieved after incubation in 53 mkg/ml 70% WEE (dry weight), whereas 30% WEE at 550 mkg/ml only, i.e. an order of magnitude difference between the concentrations, which indicates that high cytotoxic activity was shown WEE a radical change in the qualitative composition of extractives with increasing ethanol concentration. Incubation of cells with 250 mM H2O2 resulted in approximately 40% cell death, whereas pre-incubation with both 30% and 70% of WEE resulted in 100% survival of cells in a large range of concentrations. This is indicate a WEE protective effect under oxidative stress. In the case of simultaneous incubation of the cells with 30% and 70% WEE and H2O2 the effect was different with described earlier. Complete cell survival was not achieved at all concentrations of the extract of mushroom. However, significant dilution of WEE leads to significantly protective antioxidant effect on HEp-2.Thus, water ethanol extracts of the mycelium I. rheades in high concentrations exhibit cytotoxic activity. At the same time, a wide range of concentrations extracts can neutralize the oxidative stress and cell death caused by the addition of hydrogen peroxide when making extracts to oxidative influences.

Physical and chemical study of lattice kaolinites and their interaction with orthophosphate
SILVA, MARCONDES SILVA E | LAGES, ANDERSON S. | SANTANA, GENILSON P.
ABSTRACT This study covers the evaluation of the structure and the capacity in adsorbing orthophosphate ions of kaolinites collected from sampling sites in Manaus (Brazil). The kaolinites were obtained using physical fractioning (sieving/siphoning) techniques and chemical treatment with HCl, H2SO4, H2O2 and KCl. The investigation of the kaolinite lattices involved the Hinckley and Plançon indexes determined from X-ray diffraction data, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The absorption capacity of orthophosphate ions was calculated by Freundlich and Langergren isotherms. A transitional state was observed in the crystallographic structure from kaolinites because of the isomorphic substitution of Al3+ by Fe3+. This isomorphic substitution occurs accompanied by the optical pleochroism behavior, but it also reduces the mean particle sizes and increases the number of structural defects and magnetic properties of these kaolinites. Mössbauer spectroscopy showed that the substituting Fe3+ preferentially occupies octahedral sites. In the kaolinite lattices there are different octahedral sites of Al bounded by cis-OH-Fe3+ and trans-OH-Fe3+ octahedral sites. The kaolinite from the Kao1 sample has a higher number of cis-OH-Fe3+ from octahedral sites and is able to adsorb higher contents of orthophosphate ions than those from samples Kao2 and Kao3.

Prion protein biosynthesis in scrapie-infected and uninfected neuroblastoma cells.
Caughey B. | Race R.E. | Ernst D. | Buchmeier M.J. | Chesebro B.
Numerous studies have indicated that a modified proteinase K-resistant form of an endogenous brain protein, prion protein (PrP), is associated with scrapie infection in animals. This scrapie-associated PrP modification appears to occur posttranslationally in brain, but its molecular nature is not known. To learn about the normal PrP biosynthesis and whether it is altered by scrapie infection in vitro, we did metabolic labeling experiments with uninfected and scrapie-infected mouse neuroblastoma tissue culture cells. Pulse-chase labeling experiments indicated that, in both cell types, two major PrP precursors of 28 and 33 kilodaltons (kDa) were processed to mature 30- and 35- to 41-kDa forms. Endoglycosidase H, tunicamycin, and phospholipase treatments revealed that the 28- and 33-kDa precursors resulted from the addition of high-mannose glycans to a 25-kDa polypeptide containing a phosphatidylinositol moiety and that maturation of the precursors involved the conversion of the high-mannose glycans to hybrid or complex glycans. Treatments of the live cells with trypsin and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C indicated that the mature PrP species were expressed solely on the cell surface, where they were anchored by covalent linkage to phosphatidylinositol. Once on the cell surface, the major PrP forms had half-lives of 3 to 6 h. No differences in PrP biosynthesis were observed between the scrapie-infected versus uninfected neuroblastoma cells.

This is our first range of Epoxy Resin Balance Boards. All boards are handcrafted from camphor laurel, harvested from our property in Mullumbimby. Camphor laurel is an invasive weed and can have a devastating impact on the environment.
Our boards are super strong, durable and weather resistant. Averaging at 18mm thick every board is customized from trees, we have milled locally. Camphor's grains range from light whites and yellows through to dark reds, even purples.
We mill our timber down to 20mm thick slabs then stack into a kiln for the drying process, after drying we then sort them into piles of grades. These grades depend on the core of the tree. The darker the colour, the higher grade which determines the price.
After selecting a piece of timber we then cut it to shape using a template. We then place them in a customized mold for the resin pour, just the pour is a 3 day process. When the resin has cured we take our boards to the mill to have them thicknessed down to approx 18mm. We then return to our factory for the final stages, which involves more sanding, polishing and multiple final coats to finish. Each board can take up to a week so we will only be doing small batches at a time.
Not only is every board a unique one of a kind. We are making something useful out of something that is not. Sustainability doesn't get much better than that, support local. These custom balance boards are designed to last the test of time and wont let you down.

New Delhi (Andara) – India is making efforts to help the African Union in the group of 20 major global economies (G20).
„India wants the African Union to become a member of the G20 during our presidency,” India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant told a press conference.
The Government of India hopes that the inclusion of the African Union as a member of the G20 will further encourage discussions and efforts to resolve the issues of the Global South.
The Global South is a term applied to developing and least developed countries or low-income economies.
As the term suggests, the Global South includes countries whose economies are not yet fully developed and face challenges such as low per capita income, high unemployment, and a lack of valuable capital such as technology.
„Global South” refers to regions of Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
According to Chandrajit Banerjee, director-general of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India, which will chair the G20 this year, wants to be more vocal in the interests of the Global South.
„We want to be the 'voice’ of the Global South and we really want to focus and start from India and make a strong commitment to integration with Africa,” he said.
For this reason, India seeks to accelerate Africa’s integration into the global economy by making the African Union a member of the G20, he added.
One of these initiatives will be undertaken through a business sector task force formed by India as part of its G20 leadership, namely the P20 India Action Council on African Economic Integration.
According to CII, India will undertake several initiatives to support African economic integration, including promoting strong human capital outcomes in health, education and skills; Transforming agriculture and food systems to sustainably improve productivity, food security and nutrition levels; supporting trade to harness the potential of integration in regional and global value chains; and bridging physical and digital connectivity gaps by supporting investment infrastructure.
CII, as the B20 Secretariat, supports the organization of various B20 India meetings under the overarching theme of RAISE, which stands for “Responsible, Accelerated, Innovative, Sustainable and Equitable” Businesses.
Business 20 (B20) is the official G20 dialogue forum for the global business community.

Welcome to Stories by AI. I'm your host Danny Brown, and every week I'll put a random idea into an AI tool and ask it to create a story around that idea. So switch your ears on,
Danny:sit back, and get ready for a different kind of storytelling. And be sure to follow for free on your favourite podcast app so you never miss an episode. And now, this week's story.
Danny:Once upon a time there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was a curious and adventurous child, but he had one peculiar habit.
Danny:Whenever he sneezed he would blow his nose with incredible force.
Danny:One day as Timmy was exploring the woods behind his house he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in but the tickle was too strong.
Danny:He let out a massive sneeze and to his surprise his nose flew right off his face and into a nearby bush.
Danny:Timmy was shocked and dismayed. He searched frantically for his nose, but it was nowhere to be found.
Danny:Just as he was about to give up hope, a kind and wise old owl appeared to him. "Timmy," said the owl, "your nose is not lost, it is simply hiding.
Danny:"You see, your nose is a magical nose.
Danny:"It has the power to fly away whenever it pleases."
Danny:Timmy was amazed. He had never heard of such a thing. The owl continued. "But do not worry, for I can help you call your nose back to you."
Danny:The owl began to hoot and whistle and whistle and hoot and before long Timmy's nose flew back to him, landing gently on his face.
Danny:Timmy was overjoyed and thanked the owl profusely. From that day on, Timmy was more careful when he sneezed.
Danny:He learned to point his nose in a safe direction before letting out a big sneeze and he always kept an eye out for the kind and wise old owl who would become his dear friend. Thanks for listening.

Why don’t we get started by determining exactly what can and should not be called “cheese”. A cheese slice is that yellow thing that goes in a cheeseburger or a grilled cheese sandwich, and melts to perfection to the average consumer. Nevertheless the Food And Drug Administration (luckily!) has stricter requirements for cheese. For an item to make the “cheese” label, it must be manufactured with at the least 51 % cheese that is real.
The cheese singles category is specially interesting once you begin reading the ingredient lists on singles offerings during the supermarket. You will realize that numerous do not qualify as cheese, as they are therefore labeled “cheese food” or “cheese product”.
To create also smarter alternatives whenever utilizing cheese singles, take to wholemeal bread or buns for sandwiches and burger or you’re carb aware, decide to try bun alternatives. offer up correct sizes of beef patties. Searching for more taste? Pair sandwiches and much more with pickles or perhaps a salad with razor- sharp vinegar to balance the cheesy flavor out. Perhaps the option that is best of most? Get communicate with the deli counter and have now them thinly slice you singles straight from the cheese with melty characteristics!
How exactly to select the cheese singles that are best
- Search for a real “cheese” slice in the place of a “cheese product”. As previously mentioned above, a cheese product is not actually cheese. And you also want real cheese, do not you?
- Get the shortest element list. If you are quickly comparing 2 or 3 choices, avoid element listings that have hydrogenated veggie oil, meals color, and corn syrup solids. Rather, seek out a list that is ingredient includes milk, cheese, and salt.
- Try to find lower levels of fat and salt. The caveat let me reveal that this wouldn’t come at the cost of element quality. If your cheese single calls itself fat that is low ensure that the element list is not full of things such as corn syrup solids and gelatin, that are utilized to mimic the texture and meltability of fattier cheeses.
The healthiest cheese singles you should buy
1. Horizon Natural American Pieces
These certified slices that are organic pretty low calories, with just 60 calories a piece. They truly are with just three components cheddar that is—organic, sodium, and microbial enzymes-non animal—so you realize just what you are getting right here. exactly just What assists these cheese singles stand out are a few eco-friendly techniques associated with business it self. Horizon natural has pledged to get entirely carbon good by 2025 (offseting all their carbon emissions), they have switched to wind power within their manufacturing string, and their farmers use healthier soil administration methods. Given that’s one thing we could get behind.
2. Sargento Provolone
These cheese singles are straight up pieces from a piece that is big of cheese. Appropriate consistent with a number of other singles, Sargento’s sliced Provolone is 70 calories per piece with 5 grms of fat and a decently low 135 mg of salt. Made with only milk, cheese countries, salt, and enzymes, it is a excellent choice. Bear in mind, nevertheless, that there surely is an added organic smoke flavor in this cheese, so the ones that are responsive to it’s going to like to skip.
3. Applegate Naturals Colby that is american-Style Cheese
Applegate is created with ingredients as basic while they have: milk, cheese tradition, sodium, and non-animal enzymes. While these cheese pieces have actually a bit more calories and fat then other exact exact same slices that are sized they pull to your front side of this pack along with their lower salt count and zero grms of carbohydrates and sugar. Applegate is another business that sets plenty of stake in animal welfare and environmentally-friendly agriculture methods.

Last Friday I had the opportunity to see, for the 2nd time, the legendary Larry Norman in concert. It was a surprise, at least to me. In fact, the circumstances by which I learned of the concert the night previous – involving a windstorm, a power outage, Christmas shopping and me catching a wildly blowing advertising banner – make a very amusing story. Too bad I don’t have time to tell that now. The important thing is that I did get to see Larry in concert.
LN is, I am guessing, about 60 now, and has been in ill health for a number of years. Apparently he officially retired in 2001. If you google “Larry Norman” you may come across an article in Christianity Today entitled, “Farewell, Larry Norman,” which tells the story of Larry’s “last U.S. concert” 18 months ago. Needless to say, I was surprised when, as we were driving by a local church, my wife read the banner hanging out front (it wasn’t blowing wildly at that moment), “Larry Norman in concert…”
I had been a fan of Larry Norman’s since the early 1970’s, and someone loaned me the “Only visiting…” album. I then bought “Upon this Rock” (which I still have on vinyl). Back when I thought I was a musician, I did a number of LN tunes, my favorite being “Why don’t you look into Jesus.” I had a slow, bluesy arrangement of the song (in 2 part harmony) that people absolutely hated. I didn’t follow his career after the Solid Rock days, but managed to see him once in 1986 in Downey, CA. Being the icon he was, I was glad to have the chance to see him again.
The concert was interesting, to say the least. For one thing, he had bronchitis and sounded like a cross between Dylan and Johny Cash. He mentioned that he’d been battling one strain or another of bronchitis for about 6 months, and he was running a fever. His left hand was cramping so he’d lose chords occasionally. His right hand was wrapped in a bandage, as he’d cut himself. He’d sometimes forget lyrics, and once asked the audience to help him remember a verse. At one point he stopped and said, “What made me think I could do this?”
The amazing thing was that he did do the concert, and that he enjoyed it (as did we all). Where most performers would be too frustrated at their limitations, Larry just simply enjoyed being there with his friends, especially after the band – including his original drummer, Denny, from People – joined him onstage. He seemed to become somewhat revitalized, singing a couple of blues-rock tunes, then shifting into Christmas jazz mode, singing new standards like “The Christmas Song” and Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmastime is Here” (from the Peanuts special).
What struck me the most Friday night was the fact that Larry Norman is a man at peace. You could see it on his face, in spite of everything he was dealing with. He hasn’t lost his acerbic wit or his very direct manner of calling things as he sees it. But, what I saw was a man who’s been near death (more than once, as I understand) and is just happy to be singing for Jesus and being with his friends. This was great to see, and it was better than the music. This was the Christmas message that I needed to hear, a reminder to count your blessings and enjoy what you have.
I can’t wait until the next last concert.

Staging a one-woman “demonstration” in London’s Trafalgar Square in July 2009 was not without hazards.
Just as my short “protest” came to a close, three of the Heritage Wardens who police the place pitched up to ask if I had a permit.
“A permit?” I echoed uncertainly. Uh oh. I hadn’t thought of that.
I should have known better having recently shared a podcast of John Simpson’s tongue-in-cheek tale of the permit-less mob being thwarted in their attempt to destroy Iran’s ancient city of Persepolis in 1979 for lack of the proper paperwork.
But I’d been preoccupied trying to find – at the last minute – a big fat green felt marker and placard paper. Permits hadn’t even occurred to me.
My singular stand in the square was to be a small contribution to the Worldwide Wave of Silence that marked the 40th day of mourning after the death of Neda Agha Soltan, whose killing in the streets of Tehran galvanized protesters across her country, and created sympathy for the Iranian “green” movement around the world.
As I was unaccompanied, I asked an obliging young German man (whose name I later learned is Christoph Müller), to document the event with my digital camera.
My hope, based solely on the fact that he had an impressive piece of SLR equipment hanging around his neck, was that he would capture a few reasonable pics of the proceedings, and not pocket my camera, being already in possession of a much more expensive and sophisticated one of his own.
I think he did a commendable job, but I leave you to be the judge:
My small act of defiance pales in comparison to the sacrifices made by brave women and men throughout Iran (and elsewhere around the world for that matter), many of whom are brutally beaten, imprisoned, tortured and even murdered as they struggle for that in which they believe.
I’m not sure I could do what they have done. Which got me to thinking about fear and bravery and how people see their own courage, and, more particularly, possibly the lack thereof.
And that thinking brought me back to a comment made by AWR visitor Elisabeth Gordon with respect to a recently posted article entitled Awaken Your Inner Warrior. Here’s what Elisabeth had to say:
“Developing your inner warrior is not only super important, it is an ongoing journey and practice for the continued pursuit of mastery. This means tackling what you fear and learning to walk through your fear on a regular basis – pushing against that which scares us is the only way we grow stronger.”
Women and men around the world walk through their fear and push against that which scares them every day. Often they must do it as a matter of survival.
I walked through my own fear in Trafalgar Square, to stand as tall as my 162 cm would allow, with a pink (of course!) placard asking for two minutes of silent reflection in recognition of those who had been killed during the 2009 protests in Iran.
It took most of the courage I could muster to stand alone in a public square with a sign, even though the chances of being shot at, beaten, or imprisoned for doing so were virtually non-existent.
Why was that I asked myself? Could it be that we are sometimes intimidated rather than inspired (or perhaps both in equal measure), by the astonishing acts of bravery we see others perform?
And if it’s the former, if we are indeed intimidated, might that stop us from exploring our own inner strength for fear of finding it lacking somehow when measured against martyrdom, for example.
“My God,” says our inner voice, “There’s NO WAY I could do that!”
Our own insecurities become the filters through which we judge our capacity for bravery, and we see ourselves as somehow smaller, weaker or less capable than those we view as heroes.
Because of those misperceptions, we choose to do nothing instead of doing something (anything!) that might reveal our own courage to ourselves and to the world.
I’m proud of myself for standing in Trafalgar Square with a sign (even if I didn’t have a permit lol), to honour the bravery of others who walk through their own fears on different battlefields.
It may have been a small gesture, but for me it was also a courageous one. It was an opportunity to further develop my inner warrior, and to remind myself that you don’t have to get shot at to be brave.
When you feel fear, take a step toward it. You might be surprised by what you find.
Note: the above is a slightly revised version of a piece I originally posted in August 2009.
