When a baby is newly born, they say that it can see but only in shades of black and white. As the little one grows bigger, it gets attracted to more vibrant hues. Once school starts, one of the most important lessons taught are the different color schemes.
This just goes to show that colors play a big role in our lives. The same things goes with food. The more variety of colors there is, the more it is pleasing to the eyes and delicious to the taste buds. Which is why a lot of food manufacturing companies maximize this phenomenon. The holds especially true with the candy selling brands.
Imagine how successful the use of color has been for M&M’s. Here’s a candy that used an effective technique to lure in not just the children, but also those who are young at heart.
Everyone can pop those tiny bits of color coated chocolates right into their mouths. You can grab a random handful or choose specific colors depending on your mood.
However, it turns out that these colorful effects are not seen as pleasing to the beekeepers of France.
France is the largest producer and supplier of honey in all of Europe. Every year, it is estimated that they generate around 18,330 tons of honey. Aren’t they just the sweetest?
Anyways, according to the Alsace chamber of agriculture, there are roughly 2,400 beekeepers in their specific region who tend 35,000 colonies, producing approximately 1,000 tons of honey a year. I cannot start to imagine where honey starts and where it ends.
So then comes August of this year… About a dozen or so of the Alsace area beekeepers began to notice that the honey produced by their bees became bluish and greenish!
After an investigation, they discovered that is was due to a biogas plant of an M&M factory located nearby. The bees have been eating the residues and this contributed to the colorful end result of their honey.
According to Alain Frieh who is the president of the Apiculturists’ Union, this situation is actually a problem. Despite the attractive look and the honey like taste, the product is not salable.
Bummer. Perhaps they should add more color and ship it to the U.S. Strangely-colored ketchup was all the rage a few years ago. Maybe neon bright blue honey is next!

Dramatisation of events on Bloody Sunday
Derry’s tragic past was revisited in 2002 with the release of Sunday. The film, produced by Derry company Gaslight Productions, deals with Bloody Sunday and the now discredited Widgery Report. The film was commissioned by Channel 4 and its script was written by acclaimed scriptwriter Jimmy McGovern.
Starring Christopher Eccleston, Ciaran McMenamin, Oliver Ford Davies and Brid Brennan, Sunday is a dramatised reconstruction of events in Derry between 1968 and 1973. There have been minor changes to chronology and certain events have been dramatised, although the drama purports to be based on fact. Information was drawn from British Government documents, interviews, eyewitness reports and court transcripts.
1972 Derry, Northern Ireland. 27 yr-old Leo Young (CIARAN MCMENAMIN) is delivering coal with his brother John (BARRY MULLAN). It’s a few days before the planned Civil Rights March in the city protesting against internment of British citizens, but already the locals are talking about the event.
General Ford (CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON), the COMMANDER OF LAND FORCES of the British Army in Northern Ireland, is seen dictating a memo suggesting that the only way to curb rioting and violence in Derry is to ’shoot selected ringleaders’ of the Derry Young Hooligans (DYH) - ’Gangs of tough, teenaged youths permanently unemployed, after clear warnings have been given ’
On the morning of the march, Sunday January 30th, 1972, the Paras are getting ready to leave their barracks in Belfast. These solders have never been sent into Derry before, where they have been told the IRA have a strong presence, to ’watch their backs’ and ’get some kills.’
The commander of the Royal Anglians (the longest serving commanding officer in Derry) expresses surprise and concern to Brigadier MacLellan that the Paras are being sent to Londonderry since they don’t know the ground.
As the people of Derry assemble for the march, it is clear that it is to be a peaceful civil rights march with organisers asking some demonstrators to take down Republican banners. More than 15,000 begin the walk through the streets to Free Derry Corner where there are to be speeches against internment.
As the march reaches the foot of William Street and the majority divert towards the rally at Free Derry Corner, a rowdy gang of young lads break loose from the march, advance to what was ’barrier 14’, and start throwing stones at the army.
Water cannon and rubber bullets are fired. Back on William Street a number of Paras have positioned themselves in deserted buildings looking onto the adjacent waste ground. Marchers are milling in the area. Some youths are throwing stones. Suddenly there is the crack of rifle fire. The army then fire several real bullets wounding two men. Two IRA members then retrieve a hidden rifle and fire a single shot at an army position. Leo (CIARAN McMENAMIN) tells Maura (EVA BIRTHISTLE) to go home, he will look for John (BARRY MULLAN).
As most people on the march remain unaware of the disturbance, those who have been near the shooting scatter. Meanwhile at barrier 14 General Ford arrives and calls out in support of the Paras as they pass through the barrier and give chase to the fleeing crowd. As John Young (BARRY MULLAN) & Jackie Duddy (PAUL CAMPBELL) flee, the scene fades to black over the sound of gunfire.
As Leo Young carries a young wounded lad into a nearby house and others from the march help the wounded, the Paras retreat and one boasts he fired more than 22 shots. In television interviews eyewitnesses claim the marchers fired no shots, while General Ford claims that the soldiers only fired after 10 or 20 shots were fired at them.
Leo leaves the house where the wounded lad is being attended to continue his search for his brother. Outside he sees two bodies lying. One is a young lad, it might be John. He runs towards them and himself comes under fire. Taking cover he waits until the Paras withdraw and approaches the bodies. Its not John, but he helps take the wounded boy to a house where there is a doctor. The injuries are critical and Leo must help get the boy to hospital, forcing him to abandon his search for his brother
As Leo takes the unidentified lad to hospital he is stopped at an Army roadblock and the soldiers arrest him and take the young lad away, his fate unknown
Maura Young (EVA BIRTHISTLE) returns home to tell her mother that people are saying that John (BARRY MULLAN) has been injured but no one knows where Leo is. Maura goes to the local hospital only to find her brother’s body in the morgue. The Paras are back in Belfast watching the news reports and in celebratory mood in the mess. At a local army base, Leo is questioned, fingerprinted and then eventually released.
Derry is in shock: 13 civilians are dead,15 have been wounded. News reports continue to insist that the Army only opened fire after they were shot at and those killed were ’gunmen at the barricades.’ The families of those killed know differently. Still unaware of the identity of the youth he tried to take to hospital, Leo goes from wake to wake to try to find out whether he lived or died. He soon discovers that it was Gerard Donaghey (MICHAEL COLGAN) and he is dead. The army say he had nail bombs in his pockets.
At the wake for John Young, Maura breaks down and accuses her mother of not caring and not crying for her dead son. Mrs Young (BRID BRENNAN) says that she has cried, but that Maura and John will never see it, because if they did, they would take up the gun against the British and she fears that they too would end up dead.
As the coffins are carried to rest at the local church, the British Prime Minister in Downing Street, Ted Heath (CORIN REDGRAVE) is asking the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Widgery (MICHAEL BYRNE) to lead the inquiry into the shootings. Widgery suggests they confine events to a very narrow time period and says he can report in a matter of weeks. Heath reminds Widgery that ’we are not just fighting a military war in Northern Ireland, we are fighting a propaganda war as well.’
In Derry, RUC policemen question the wounded in hospital as they try to watch the funerals of their friends and relatives. One injured man hauls himself to a ward where an injured soldier lies and attacks him violently with his crutches.
At the inquiry, Leo arrives to give his evidence - stating categorically that when he found him, Gerard Donaghey had no weapons in his pockets at all. Widgery dictates a note to the tribunal in which he states he can pile up the case against the dead, he cannot find with any certainty that any of the dead or injured were gunmen. Further eyewitness testimony from people on the march suggests that another unarmed man, Barney McGuigan (MICHAEL LOUGHNAN) was shot and killed while waving a white handkerchief and trying to reach and comfort the shot and dying Paddy Doherty (JIM KEYS).
General Ford insists in his evidence to Widgery that his men only opened fire when they came under attack and suggests that the IRA had hijacked the march.
The Paras who come to give evidence disguised in royal green jacket uniforms, and sunglasses, argue amongst themselves as to whether they will tell the truth or not. One suggests they lie as they were only following orders and that those to blame are the politicians in London. The majority stick to their claims that they were fired upon and fired only at armed gunmen. Only one Para, Para 027 (KENNY DOUGHTY), submits written evidence that contradicts that of his colleagues. A lawyer for the Crown tells him his evidence will not be needed. We enter the day in flashback through his memories of the day: the Paras advancing and firing at unarmed civilians; they’re continuing to advance despite his calling for a ceasefire.
In Glenfada Park Para G (DEL SYNNOTT) is seen shooting the wounded Jim Wray (JAMES WRAY) in the back while he is lying on the ground and firing at a nurse trying to help the wounded. We then see Para 027’s reaction as he comes upon the carnage. His testimony is not used.
As Widgery concludes the inquiry, he reports he has been impressed by the evidence of the soldiers and believes on the whole they told the truth. He lists ’evidence’ against the dead and blames the organisers of the illegal march for creating a highly dangerous situation in which a clash between demonstrators and the security forces was almost inevitable. He concedes only that ’some soldiers showed more restraint than others and in Glenfada Park firing bordered on the reckless.’
In light of the ’whitewash’ that the people of Derry declare the inquiry, young men are seen taking the oath of allegiance to the Irish Republican Army. Leo goes to a house where several men wait to take the oath. He blames the British for his brother’s death and does not care if British soldiers die - but he cannot bring himself to join the IRA.
At Buckingham Palace General Ford receives an honour (Commander of the Order of Bath - 1973) from the Queen. Leo returns to delivering coal in Derry.

We went to Disney!! When our girls were little we went every year. All of my kids love Disney but none as much as Chloe. I always called her my Disney baby. She was only 3 years old when we started going. She was too little for a lot of the rides so we spent a lot of time on the benches eating Disney snacks and people watching. She LOVED it!! She’s always called it her happy place 🙂
With graduation coming this year I knew that I had to take her on one more “kid” trip. I spent months planning every second of this trip. Even though things didn’t go off perfectly (I ended up in urgent care) it was definitely a trip we will always remember.
I’m so glad that we got the trip in when we did, Disney shut down 2 weeks after we got home. I’m also glad that we got to stay at “our” resort one last time with Chloe. I loved keeping things the same for so many years with my 3 big girls but I think we’ll find a new Disney home with Lucy and Beckett to create new memories. With all of the new attractions coming to Disney over the next few years I have a feeling we’ll be going back again and again. Right, Jon??

The good news is that this is the fifth and last time Micheal Bay will direct a movie in the Transformers movie series that started in 2007 with the original Transformers film. While trying to understand why all of these Transformers movies are so bad, with the possible exception of the first one, my explanation is that the computer graphic scenes are probably produced first through several different software vendors and the screenwriter later tries to connect the computer graphics scenes to some kind of disconnected nonsensical story. This means that essentially all of the Transformer movies are developed backward. For me, this would explain why nothing makes sense in these movies and there are no connections between scenes or any kind of flow or respect to the audience so they can follow what is going on. Is it possible to produce a good movie that is all about special effects with no story? The answer to this question seems to be obvious to everyone, except Micheal Bay. I actually think a better movie would be a documentary about how the computer graphics for movies like this are made and perhaps some filming of the production meetings that lead to the creation of this horrible movie because I am very curious about how a movie monstrosity this bad could ever be created.
Michael Bay should take a page from all the Disney cartoon movies, where the story and screenplay are paramount and include years of discussions and storyboarding. These Transformer movies throw all sense of continuity and logic out the window, not caring to create any kind of a story to connect scenes or help with the understanding of what is going on. Eventually, you slowly fall into a sort of a coma and I actually dosed off for about 20 minutes during this mess, probably due to some kind of subconscious self-preservation. What is worse about this latest movie in the Transformer franchise is that it runs for almost 150 agonizing minutes. All of these Transformer movies should be run as a loop to torture prisoners in Guantanamo Bay because sitting through them is a nightmare. More amazing is that this movie is the worst one of the 5 and Bay seems to outdo himself with each new movie but in the wrong direction.
When this very bad movie was finally over, I remembered feeling very angry because I had wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life sitting through this mess. The budget of 217 million dollars for this movie was money that could have been put to far better use and people who are bad at their jobs will become much more wealthy. A great deal of the money that comes from these movies are the toys and the young kids who just want to see robots fighting and so it seems that everyone involved with these 5 movies only cares about the easy money and never about creating a movie that has some meaning or even a story. I think I was most angry because I know that this Transformer movie will make a great deal of money and that will encourage more very bad movies like this one.
Mark Wahlberg is once again the star of this latest Transformer movie, also appearing in the last one. Clearly, Wahlberg appeared in this movie for the money and there is nothing wrong with that, but at some point, integrity and pride should be more important than money. What does not make any sense is why the great actor Anthony Hopkins is in this movie. One would think that Hopkins has more than enough money and would care more about his reputation at his age than money. Hopkins role and his decision to appear in this terrible movie just make no sense. The only bright spot is the appearance of a young 16-year-old actress Isabela Moner, who has movie star looks and might have a very promising future as an actress, despite the mistake of being in this God awful film.
This movie should be avoided by everyone including small children because it is that bad.

Nigerian troops have taken strategic positions in Sambisa Forest, Borno State, North-East Nigeria, with a view to rescuing the over 200 girls being held by BokonHaram since their abduction from their school in Chibok on April 14.
Defence Spokesman, Major General Chris Olukolade disclosed this yesterday in Abuja while speaking at a media interaction organised by INigerian Initiative, a non-governmental organisation active in the redefinition of Nigerians’ perception of their country
While declining to give details, Olukolade said the Chibok Girls will be rescued and that it was not true that after securing Sambisa Forest, Boko Haram militants re-took it from the military.
“The Sambisa issue is strategic,” he said. “We are not clearly out of Sambisa as I am talking to you. We are in Sambisa and we are in places contiguous to it.
“Sambisa Forest is over 6,000 square kilometres. It is not true that the place was re-taken by Boko Haram. There is freedom of movement in Nigeria and so, people move about freely. Do you know that there are village settlements and communities in the Sambisa Forest and that is another limitation to bombing?”
While seeking for a better understanding of the Nigerians and the media on the war on terror, Olukolade declared that the Nigerian military is capable of fighting the insurgency.
He insisted that either in hardware or in training, men of the Nigerian armed forces have everything it takes to combat the current enemy.
“The Nigerian military is well trained for the kind of war that it is presently engaged. Even before the advent of terrorism, our training doctrine has factored in counter terrorism right from the beginning. It’s only that the intensity may differ but everybody has knowledge of counter terrorism operations. It’s just that it’s only now that we are practising it in reality,” he told his audience.
Also concerning hardware and equipment, the Defence Spokesperson said: “Be sure that it is incremental but you would see them when they are in action.”
He debunked allegations of corruption and human rights abuses being levied against the military saying such are only capable of demoralising those engaged in securing the territorial integrity of the nation.
His words: “Those series of allegations of corruption are unfounded, the series of allegations of cowardice are rather demoralising and other forms of insinuations in various forms only tend to give the impression the Nigerian armed forces is not capable of managing the situation.
“Unfortunately, this has remained the source for the international community that held us in very high esteem to begin to have a rethink. But the Nigerian armed forces has not been sleeping, we have been available in putting our expertise at the service of other nations. We have more of this in which we can put into the disposal of our country at as time like this and all we would need are encouragement of our fellow countrymen and their understanding.
“We can only assure them that we mean well. The officers that are put in charge of these men are trained to be leaders. We should let them do the job in times like this. The integrity of everybody is at stake, and the time has come when we should rather reduce the level of accusations that are meant to demoralise and discourage.”
Olukolade said the goal of Nigerian military and security forces at the moment “is to deny the terrorists the resources they need to continue to hold our citizens to ransom. We want to defeat them so decisively that every Nigerian can live in peace and be able to pursue his economic and social activities.
“We want to counter terrorism to the point that their coordination and their ability their future effort to destabilise and cause instability in our country will be negligible or non-existent. We also want to ensure that haven the military will continue to contribute to the development and progress of our country’s democratic state.”
He warned Nigerians and the media not to fall in for the propaganda of the enemy concerning the exploits of Boko Haram saying that many attacks being staged by the group in recent times are only a sign of their desperation in the face of losing operating spaces.
“The truth about recent attacks by Boko Haram is that all the places that they thought were their bases have been taken over by the military and so out of desperation, they are scattering everywhere. What they are doing is like a last battle for them,” the Defence Spokesman said, adding:
“There had been occasions when the terrorists were reported to be using helicopters in their attacks whereas it was the Nigerian military helicopter that was flying to attack the rebels.
“Nonetheless, we are still committed to securing the civilian population at whatever cost. We are still committed in ensuring that we degrade their ability to continue their activity and eventually eliminate them.”
Olukolade reiterated “that no portion of this country is available for terrorists to occupy. If they appear to be doing so, it is just a joke. With respect to this location, everything is being done to ensure that everywhere in Nigeria is safe and secure.”
Concerning the recent report by Amnesty International indicting the military of violating human rights of citizens in the North East, he said: “Our team of investigators are already going round, calling people to assist them. They have invited officials of AI to help them verify what they presented in the report. I know that they are working frantically to produce their report and they are not leaving anything untouched but we hope that those who made those allegations equally have the level of respect for that body to tell our investigators what they know.”

Gravlax is cured salmon using salt, sugar and dill. As we are making a homemade version rootsandcook style, I will skip the sugar.
If you have never done it before you will see how easy it is to cure salmon at home. Nothing can beat a good homemade cured salmon. You can enjoy them for an amazing weekend breakfast or to have a great start of the week.
I have to admit I was not a big fall of dill when I was young but I do love it now to make Gravlax. So you can easily skip it if you do not like it.

Do you love making lists?
Top Ten Tuesday:
10 Favorite Historical Fiction Reads
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books In My Favorite Genre. Last week, I made a list of my favorite historical fiction books for each of the last ten years. This week’s list is comprised of my absolute favorites in historical fiction! I actually didn’t think I could make this list! My initial list had several more titles and it was difficult to cut, so I’ve cheated a bit. How do I choose my favorites when I’ve read so many titles? The following titles are the stories that I connect with emotionally, the stories I still remember weeks and months and years later, and the stories I recommend over and over again! All are five-star reads and all have great themes. I recommend them without hesitation.
How many of these titles have you read and loved? Are you a histfic fan?
*This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
(in no particular order)
I love the (less public) story of the determined, smart, influential, and driven woman who was Alexander Hamilton’s wife, partner, and best friend. America’s First Daughter by the same authors is also excellent.
My review here.
(I read these almost back to back and because of the themes I always think of them together….so this is my sneaky trick to include one more!)
Themes make these stories memorable: I love the theme of faith in Sand and Ash; in We Were the Lucky Ones, I love the themes of family and faith….especially the beautiful ending). Sand and Ash review here. We Were the Lucky Ones review here.
I love this imagined story of two brave women who were actual pioneers in the abolitionist movement. Review here.
I love the theme of found family and the moral dilemma at the story’s end of doing the right thing versus doing things right. I also love the beautiful prose. Brief review in this post.
I love the compelling themes of determination and survival. Brief review in this post.
I love this inspiring and sweeping (300+ year) multigenerational family saga. No review available because I read this before I started blogging.
I love this unique look at slavery in which a young Irish girl becomes a slave because of her dire circumstances and is raised by slaves who become her family. I loved the sequel just as much and possibly more: Glory Over Everything. No review available because I read these before I started blogging.
I love the unique narrator, the poignant friendship, and the survival themes. No review available because I read it before I started blogging, but I need to mention that the film adaptation is well done.
Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb
and Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
(Yes, I’m cheating again…..I often think of these two titles as a pair because of the format and because they are gentle and lovely reads)
I love the epistolary format of both of these love stories. Last Christmas review here. Guernsey not reviewed because I read it before I started blogging, but I must mention that the film adaptation of Guernsey is lovely.
The mention of this classic is a shout out to the beginning of my love for historical fiction. I still remember how I was captivated by and immersed in the reading experience as a high school reader. Have you read it?
Do you like to make book lists or think about your favorites?
Do you have a title you can add to my list in the histfic genre?
What is your favorite genre?
What is your favorite book in your favorite genre?
Happy Reading Book Buddies!

The Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra’s (MPO’s) upcoming season resonates with the power of diversity and musical excellence!
Music Director Brian Dowdy has curated for you a season that spans a musical panorama from the Victorian to today; from Milan, London, and Paris to New York and Minnesota; from the peaceful to the thoughtful to the exuberant. We will perform at a range of venues from city to suburb, from concert hall to lake shore.
As we launch our 26th season, we remember Kevin Ford, a gay man who had a vision of a gay and lesbian orchestra that would build community and fellowship through the performance of classical music. Some of our musicians have been with us since the very first performance because the music still means that much to them. Under concertmaster Catherine Himmerich, our hardworking musicians strive from rehearsal to rehearsal to enhance their personal performance on a musical journey that brings you the dynamic, personal feeling of music in our community.
Our concerts prominently feature diverse and overlooked composers — people of color, women, and GLBTQA artists. Inclusivity imbues our programs with a sense of insight and awareness found nowhere else in the country! American innovators are balanced with canonical masters to round out musical experiences full of emotion, precision, and a depth of ensemble interpretation to make you proud of your community.
Here’s the year’s calendar:
Uncommon Voices with One Voice Mixed Chorus
Saturday, November 3, 2018 • 7:30 p.m.
One Voice Mixed Chorus joins MPO for a transcontinental program featuring Florence Price’s Symphony No. 1 and operatic works by Verdi and Copland. It’s a celebration of cultural and artistic diversity — of both music and the musicians performing.

La Belle Musique
Saturday, March 9, 2019 • 7:30 p.m.
Hidden identities and musical innovations in the music of late 18th and early 19th century French composers Camille Saint-Saëns, Augusta Holmés, Cesar Franck, Camille Saint-Saëns, Gabriel Fauré, and Paul Dukas.
Hopkins High School
2400 Lindberg Dr
Minnetonka, MN 55305
The Inspirations of Youth
Saturday, May 4, 2019 • 7:30 p.m.
Music by composers who showed genius at a young age—and some who died too young. Libby Larsen co-founded American Composers Forum at 23. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor achieved worldwide fame at 22. A black composer in a time of extreme racism, he took three U.S. tours and was invited to the White House in 1904. Franz Schubert wrote some 1500 works though he died at 31 years old. José Pablo Moncayo draws on the folk music and dance of his native Mexico for a colorful display of musical nationalism. Though he only lived to be 45, Moncayo’s achievements as a pianist, percussionist, composer, conductor, and educator make him a lasting voice in Mexican art music.

I received word from an upper-level administrator that my previous report is premature, at best.
The university is now looking at an early September timeline for announcing the athletic director. Hunter Yurachek remains in "serious consideration."
I sincerely apologize for the confusion. Since Friday, I worked diligently to confirm or deny the rumor that I heard from a reliable, yet unofficial, source. One hindrance was that the search committee is sworn to confidentiality about the proceedings.
I struggled with whether to post the source's information. In the end, I felt it would better serve the readers to know everything I know, with the caveat that the information comes from an anonymous source.
My anonymous source heard this information second-hand. The administrator suggested that my source was merely speculating. I do, however, think it is appropriate to assume there is some fire behind this smoke.

View Full Version : Car charger
01-30-2011, 04:03 PM
I can't find my wall charger anywheres, so I was thinking of picking up a car charger. My question is does anyone know how long it takes to charge up a battery on these rapid car chargers?
03-01-2011, 05:59 PM
81 views and, no one knows?
03-01-2011, 09:21 PM
Till the LED turns green - :o
03-02-2011, 10:17 AM
I was looking for a time frame, but I'll take the answer.
03-02-2011, 05:15 PM
Time frame would depend on how depleted the battery was. Maybe a better perspective would be, 1.5 hours or less. Acceptable kind sir? -
03-02-2011, 05:44 PM
Yes, thank you

Marketo - Are You A Marketing Rockstar? - Dmexco 2016
Finer Vision were excited to be supporting Marketo at the Dmexco exhibition in KÖLN September 2016.
Our aim was for users to engage with our digital quiz 'Are You A Marketing Rockstar'. Users simply clicked start on the iPad and took a 8 question quiz, they were scored on correct and answers and timed on how quickly they completed each question. Results were streamed to the leaderboard on the big screen. Of course key data was captured during the event. It was such a huge success with entries every 2.35 minutes throughout the duration of the event. Our only down-side was we should of had more iPads as users were queueing to play and engage.
An all round successful exhibition! :)
For further information on our digital deliverables for events please contact Nick at our London office to discuss further.

Imagine my surprise when I went to put in for a late train and could not find the On Time Service Guarantee form anywhere ... very quietly it seems the MBTA has phased this program out.
It's disappointing ... I'm not saying I lived or died by that extra $$, but it was at least some form of accountability for late trains ... especially in a system plagued by on time service.
Here is the official announcement from the MBTA website:
As discussed and reported during this year’s budget process, the MBTA will stop processing refund requests for service-related delays when the new fiscal year begins on July 1st. By eliminating the only program of its kind in the United States, the MBTA anticipates realizing savings of up to $1 million annually.
“While some customers may be disappointed with the program’s elimination, it’s important that people know that this money will be put to very good use,’ said MBTA General Manager Richard Davey. “By reallocating these funds into the development of more customer service enhancements, we expect a greater number of T riders to benefit from this money.”
Among the initiatives to be rolled out in the coming weeks and months are:
- Smart phone apps for Commuter Rail that will provide customers with the answer to the question: ‘Where is my train?’
- Countdown clocks that provide subway customers with ‘next train’ information for the Red, Orange, and Blue Lines.
- The ability to use a CharlieCard for parking at Alewife, Braintree, and other stations.
- Discounted parking rates of just $3 at nine stations throughout the Commuter Rail system and along the Mattapan Trolley Line.
I think they need to extend discounted parking to all of the commuter rail lots, not just some of them. It doesn't seem fair that certain lots (like mine) has to subsidize parking for the rest of them.

On this week’s episode of Just Love, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan talks to one of our marathon runners from Catholic Charities of Chicago. He also talks to Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia about their Halloween costume initiative.
Tim Berry is a marathon runner from Chicago who will be running in the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon on behalf of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York this Sunday, November 3, 2019. Tim is currently homeless and eats his super most weeknights at Catholic Charities of Chicago’s LaSalle Street Headquarters. He talks to us about his upcoming participation in the New York City Marathon and why he feels so passionately about running to support the work of Catholic Charities in both his home city of Chicago and here in New York as well.
Noreen Russo is the Manager of the Junior Board of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago is accompanying Tim Berry to New York for his participation in the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon. Noreen shares with us what Tim’s participation in support of Catholic Charities means to her and other staff members at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Margot Davis is the Pregnancy and Parenting Support Case Manager of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia and talks to us about the work of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia and its “Halloween Costume Drive,” which allows children and their families to participate in Halloween by dressing up in donated costumes and enjoy the holiday as other children would, without their families having to worry about the additional expense that a Halloween costume could represent to a struggling family.

CPUC Holds Public Participation Hearings on January 9th
On Wednesday, January 9th the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) wants to hear your thoughts on the Cal-Am Water Supply Project - Cal-Am’s proposal to stop its illegal pumping of the Carmel River. When considering projects, the CPUC must take into consideration “community values” which is why your input is so important (link to CPUC website talking about community values).
CPUC Public Participation Hearings
Wednesday January 9, 2013
Monterey City Hall
580 Pacific Street, Monterey
Two hearings: 2pm and 7pm
LandWatch will be there!
What are LandWatch’s biggest concerns?
Cal-Am’s groundwater rights are uncertain making the project vulnerable.
Cal-Am is proposing to pump water out of the over-drafted, seawater intruded, Salinas Valley groundwater basin. It is unclear if Cal-Am holds the water rights to do so. Many organizations besides LandWatch have raised this concern such as the Salinas Valley Water Coalition and the Planning and Conservation League. This issue requires extensive factual investigation to determine if the rights exist.
Interestingly, groundwater modeling to help determine rights are expected in the draft environmental impact report (DEIR) for the project, due out in July. However, these findings in the DEIR will be released after the testimony, evidentiary hearings, and briefing for the Certificate of Public Necessity and Convenience (CPCN), i.e. the permit for the project. All of the hearings, testimony, etc. are scheduled to occur before June, before the important DEIR is released! Furthermore, test well data are not scheduled until 2013-2014, after the CPUC’s vote scheduled in early 2013.
Given all this, what is LandWatch proposing? We believe it is critical that the decision-making process evaluate and remain open to a non-Salinas Valley Groundwater Basin option in case the facts do not support groundwater rights for Cal-Am. We’ll urge the CPUC to consider the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District’s standby project evaluation, or to consider an alternative project and evaluate it at the level of detail required of the CPUC and California Environmental Quality Act so it’s ready to go if the Cal-Am project is rejected.
LandWatch supports a portfolio approach to the water supply solution. So the desal component can be as small as possible. We want all available water supplies used first before turning to desal because desalinating water is energy intensive and expensive. Furthermore, a portfolio of projects means the community is less dependent on a single source that could fail.
The size of the desalination plant could be approximately 5.5 million gallons a day or close to 9 million gallons per day. The ultimate size is affected by the Groundwater Replenishment Project (GWR). LandWatch supports GWR which could provide a quarter or a third of the Peninsula’s needs. GWR must be considered as the first option because:
- it is less expensive per gallon of water than desalinated water;
- the process uses less energy for a smaller carbon footprint;
- there is a successful example of a GWR project in Orange County;
- it reuses water;
- the Coastal Commission, which is one of the decision making bodies, prefers exhaustion of low hanging fruit before turning to desal.
Finally, the city of Pacific Grove recently submitted an application to the CPUC for three small water supply projects. The projects seek to use recycled water for irrigation of the city’s municipal golf course, city parks and landscaping, and the cemetery. Projects like these can reduce the amount of desalinated water needed and should be considered when the size of the desal plant is determined.
LandWatch has supported public ownership since 2009 through advocating the Hybrid Regional Project. We think local public ownership ensures better governance and decision-making processes.
LandWatch believes public ownership of the desalination facility would ensure transparency because public agencies have to follow:
- the Brown Act which requires open meetings and agendas;
- the Public Records Act requiring agencies make records available to the public;
- conflict of interest and campaign contribution laws which places constraints on office holders.
Furthermore, public agencies allow the public an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process, creating greater accountability of its decisions while incorporating public values. Finally, public agencies receive the lowest possible financing rates for capital improvements thus saving the ratepayers money in both the short and long-terms.
What potential decisions related to the water supply project do we think are important for public agencies to make? LandWatch believes the ultimate size of the desal plant should be determined by the public. The public should decide the size of the desal plant in light of GWR readiness and availability of other sources like Pacific Grove’s three project proposals. Finally, presumably a public agency would respond better during an emergency situation like if the desal plant fails potentially harming the public’s health and safety.
Please attend on Wednesday the 9th and let your opinions be known!

Can the Mizzou New Music Initiative Turn Missouri Into the Next Vienna?
Patrick David Clark uses the word kaleidoscopic three times in a single discussion about the field that has become his life: music composition. It's a great word but an even better image, one he tacks to his most recent composition, "Ptolemy's Carousel," the Mizzou New Music Initiative that supports it and the summer festival where it will be performed live tomorrow in Columbia.
Photo by Justin Bernhaut Tomorrow, Alarm Will Sound (pictured) will take on the original work of eight composers as part of the Mizzou New Music Summer Festival.
This last part -- the ability to see a piece fully realized through a full orchestra -- is rare, and it's one of the foundations of continuing the art of composition. It's also kaleidoscopic.
"It's music with memory," Clark says of his style of composing. "By memory, I mean there are references, quotations, found objects. You'll hear bits and fragments of other pieces. It's often a deconstruction of the memory people have of other music."
Clark, a St. Louis native, is one of eight composers whose original work will be played tomorrow at the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts by Alarm Will Sound, a 20-person chamber orchestra known for quick and dynamic interpretations. In the field of music composition, most people think the problem is coming up with the music, but the real issue is finding a way to actually see it realized. If music programs can often be the stepchildren of public universities, composers can be the stepchildren of those programs.
For this reason, to strengthen the vitality of an art that might otherwise die, Dr. Jeanne Sinquefield and her husband, Rex Sinquefield, have contributed significantly to efforts to resuscitate it with funding for Mizzou's New Music Initiative, the festival's parent program. The initiative searches out and encourages musical talent in students, and the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation awards the Sinquefield Composition Prize every year. This year, it went to Clark.
"Think about it like little league," says Jeanne Sinquefield, who plays upright bass and has been involved in orchestras for 50 years. "You have hundreds of kids who play little league. They eventually get to semi-pro or maybe even pro for the lucky ones. But in order to have a pro league, you have to have little league. You have to make an effort to find and grow these composers. They're out there, but you have to find them."
Composers who become involved with the initiative are not limited in the scope of their pieces by adherence to a single genre. They need only create music that can be interpreted by an orchestra, though previous winners of the Sinquefield Prize have focused on choral arrangements. The applications for this year's summer festival numbered around 120 people, eight of whom were selected to receive the attention of Alarm Will Sound and work with composition phenoms Anna Clyne and Roger Reynolds, a Pulitzer winner. Since the initiative's beginning, it has commissioned more than 100 pieces.
"There was a period when all the great music was coming out of Vienna, this really small place in the world," Sinquefield says. "They just happened to have a structure of patrons where you could successfully go and make this happen and be created and performed. I want Missouri to become that place for classical music today."
Clark, who holds a degree in composition from Mizzou, is using his Sinquefield Prize to study conducting at the graduate level at the same school. He entered school as a journalism major and changed his mind too late to become a musical performance major, a natural progression that veered an eerily straight path to the composition side of the art. When asked why he made the decision - and why he continues to support it today -- the 43-year-old pauses.
"I love these questions because they're not easy to answer," he says. "There are many levels of depth that are not touched on in popular music. We have to make sure we keep these institutions, otherwise the art will die and there will be only commercial music. We don't ever want that to happen."
It took Clark only six weeks to finish "Ptolemy's Carousel," and it will take less than an hour to hear it realized by Alarm Will Sound, a description one composer likened to driving a Ferrari. That's not the comparison Clark uses. "I'm hoping it will be kaleidoscopic, like stained glass," Clark says. "I hope the audience will realize that this is important, that music and art need to be explored in this way. And that's what this festival is all about."

Most people — 72% or nearly 3 out of 4 of Americans — believe that society is better off when couples are sexually faithful to each other. Even among people who admit they are not always faithful to their partners, 47% still agree that society is better off when others are.
Despite our preferences, infidelity occurs. Though it’s maddeningly difficult to determine what the actual rate of infidelity is. If we limit ourselves to married couples, the rate of infidelity, whether a one-time or longstanding affair, is somewhere between 15% and 30%. In my Born to Marry study, I only asked whether people had cheated on their current spouse, ignoring prior marriages if there were any — the number who admitted to cheating was 16%, on the lower end of where other studies put the range. Of course, some of the currently faithful may yet become unfaithful so the numbers are a moving target. But the fact to remember from all this is that even though most of us value sexual fidelity, somewhere around a fourth of us will not be faithful over the span of our marriages.
There is good news in this. First, it means that unlike the doom-and-gloom thoughts people have about divorce (“half of all marriages end in divorce,” which is not true and becoming less so each year as divorce rates fall), it means that on a purely random level, most marriages will not experience fidelity.
The real nugget of insight in there is the fact that infidelity is decidedly not random. People make choices — not just to commit adultery but to put themselves in situations where adultery is possible. Marriage counselors have ample advice for how to make choices that will avoid infidelity. Happily, the same advice for drawing you together will likely keep others out.
The truth is that our bodies partake of the same animal nature that causes most animals not to be monogamous for life. Seen this way, it’s somewhat surprising that most marriages do not cave to infidelity. Some might say that admitting our animal nature is a handy excuse for giving in to temptation, but I see it as precisely the opposite. Understanding that our bodies are animal can help us overcome the sometimes-disloyal thoughts we might have. If a thought of another distracts us from our pair bond, instead of believing that we are falling in love with another person, a near-mystical state that might be hard to resist, we can choose to see that those feelings of attraction are mere biological signals.
Managing the body is not just about managing moments of response, moments of decision. The body also has a memory we can choose to populate as we wish and which guides our future thoughts and actions. As anyone who has tried to change a physical habit knows — switching from skiing to snowboarding, for example — your mind and body develop muscle memory and preferences for behaviors you have previously mastered.
Which leads to my point: One such behavior some have mastered is the ability to meet and have a sexual relationship with someone they are not emotionally invested in or socially committed to. Whether a one-night stand or a three-week fling, such short-term liaisons are precisely the kind of thing that some of us would be awful at not because we don’t have the same tempting desires that others do but because we have no practice in doing them. I would not know the first thing to do in a bar to signal to someone that I’m interested in hooking up. I’ve never done it! This is great for my marriage.
Is there evidence that people who have more practice with what researchers call short-term mating strategies are more likely to cheat? Yes, there is. As I wrote for the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) in late 2019, the Born to Marry study reveals that people who have had more sexual partners in their life have developed more skill at having low-emotion, low-commitment sexual encounters. This, in turn, makes them less likely to commit to being faithful to their current sexual partner. As I wrote in The Road to Infidelity Passes Through Multiple Sexual Partners:
…infidelity is also often the fruit of a lifelong approach to mating that involves seeking and practicing short-term mating encounters that encourage sexual variety at all stages and into marriage.
How do you get to infidelity? Practice, practice, practice.
There are more questions to ask. For example, is it possible that the people more likely to practice hook-up culture are already different from people who do not? This would make them more likely to continue to engage in short-term mating behaviors even after marriage. This is not only possible, it’s probable. Which is why the Born to Marry project is so helpful. If someone looks at the variety of relationships available to them and concludes that they will be more satisfied with short-term mating experiences, then they are probably low on the Born to Marry scale (did you take the test yet?). That would be important for them to know. It would also be important for someone considering a relationship with that individual to know as well. It definitely suggests that a potential partner who thinks they have found a previously promiscuous mate who through their love will somehow longer want sexual variety will be fighting an uphill battle. Not unwinnable, but certainly much harder.
You fit somewhere in and among this mix of inborn urges, acquired habits, and socially motivated behaviors. You have choices to make: If you are Born to Marry, your best path forward is clear — aim for long-term, exclusive relationships that lead to faithful marriage. That will make you happiest, most satisfied with life, all of which I can verify with statistics. And if it leads to being a grandparent some day, I can verify by personal experience that your cup of joy will then be overflowing.

Paper I wrote for an english class.
When a person has epiphany, they realize something and it changes them forever. In the movie “The Fisher King”, the character Jack has an epiphany when he realizes he must help Parry for Parry, not for himself. So he gets the “Holy Grail” not for himself but for someone else that he feels life that he had a negative effect on. I personally experienced an epiphany when my grandmother died and my grandfather moved in with me and my family. It made me realize that emotional connections people have are so strong that it can make some people have mental disorders and fall into a deep depression.
When my grandmother died a couple years ago, my grandfather was alone after a 60 year marriage with her. He was unable to take care of himself and he was forced into moving in with us. My parents made accommodations for him to help through one of the hardest times of his life. I realized that, when you have an emotional connection with someone as strong as they had, when it is ended in someway, it has a profound effect on the way you view the world and the other relationships you have with people. When she died he started out with a deep depression, threatening to kill himself, and even going as far as preparing a spot for his suicide to happen. The family got him through that and he saw that he needs to be her for his six children and many grandchildren. As his illness progressed, it moved into dementia. He had thought my grandmother was cheating on him, that she never wanted to be with him, and it went as far as him accusing me of stealing his pills. At one point when he was in the hospital, he was convinced that my father was on the upper of level of the hospital having his leg amputated. No one could convince him otherwise. After a year of going through this situation, we thought it would be better for him to live an assisted living facility; he now is doing much better, which made the decision much easier and let my family members not have that huge stress in our already stressful household.
This whole period of time changed me. I realized the importance of relationships in my life. It made me realize that connections that you build up with people are some of the most important things in this life. This whole situation makes me weary of relationships I create with people. I am friends with very few people, and I usually keep to myself, especially at school. Until my grandmother died I was trying to make friends with everyone and trying to make myself be the “Cool” person who knew everyone and that people were friends with. I know realize that having a few very close friends is more important to me that knowing a whole bunch of people and I don’t have to do things that please people just so I am liked. The whole situation made me realize how important relationships with people are. I also became a less selfish person; I realize the sacrifices that people make for the important people in their lives. My parents spent money making a room for him; they spent time taking him to doctor’s appointments and other things, and also spent time away from each other to care for this person.
In the movie “The Fisher King”, when Jack has an epiphany it changes the way he thinks and views everything. He went from only caring about himself, and doing things for himself, such as giving Parry money. He was also thinking about himself when he tried to get Parry with Lydia. He only wanted to do these things for Parry because he thought if Parry felt better; it would make himself feel better. Then after Parry went into the coma at the end of the movie, he went and got the “Holy Grail” for Parry, not himself. This ties in with me because after the epiphany I had, I realized that I should not be so concerned with how the whole situation affects me, but how it affects him. When he first moved in I thought that the whole thing was not going to be fun. I was thinking about myself and how it affects me. I wasn’t even thinking about how he felt or how much time my parents had to sacrifice to keep him at our house and try to keep him happy. I now have this great appreciation for how relationships affect the way people behave and act. It makes me less selfish and that I should do things for other people for them, not to make myself feel better about my life.
In the essay “Apology to Stephanie Stephenson”, he realizes that he made fun of this girl that was in one of his elementary classes. He joined in with the other kids because he wanted to become the popular kid. He was using her for his own selfish reasons. It relates to me because before this whole epiphany happened was pretty selfish myself. After this I have a greater appreciation for what my parents do for me. Later this year they are going to help me pay for college which will require some financial sacrifices on their part. My parents did many things for my grandfather to get him through this difficult time, epically my mother. While my Dad is working she would be on the phone all the time trying to organize appointments for him and get him the proper medication, and he wasn’t even her father. It should me how important relationships are and how people do anything for the people they care about. It shows me that I need to do things for other people and not myself. I now help my parents do whatever is needed and don’t complain about, they deserve all the help they can get.
I was thinking in a Machiavellian way. The ends justify the means (you will do whatever you have to do to get what you want). I didn’t care about what my parents had to do to get what I wanted. I just wanted them to do it and didn’t really respect the sacrifices they had to make to give me and my siblings what we needed and wanted. I would be lazy and sit in my room and expect things to be done for me. I now try to spend more time with my parents and I am now taking care of things myself such as getting all my college business organized without their help. I see that I need to do things for myself if I expect to be a successful adult. My parents need to focus on the things that need to be done for themselves, and I need to do things for myself because I am perfectly capable of it.
I also think I was going down Elliot’s theory of the “Downward Spiral”. I wasn’t doing things for myself, my parents did a lot of things for me, and I think in the overall picture hurt my development. I understand the fact that they wanted to help me as much as possible, but they should have forced me to do things by myself. If they would have kept going on like this I would have never known how to do anything by myself and I would have always been dependent on someone else. That’s why I think this epiphany is so important to me and my life. It really gave me a view on how I need to behave, and the things that I need to do so I can function as an adult. A person can not be babied and carried through their whole life. You can’t be a selfish person and expect things to be done for you by your parents.
If you think in the ways of Socrates to serve the common good, my parents were doing that by helping my grandfather. It shows me that the relationship you have with people makes you want to help them and serve the common good. It’s a cycle, you grow up, your parents get old, when they are old and crippled and not in a condition to help themselves, you serve them. You have to help them get through whatever is happening to them. Selfishness goes along with this. It shows me when my parents are older I can’t be selfish and only think about how helping them will effect my life. They helped me growing up, it’s time to help them for them, and I don’t want to help them for myself. I am going to help them because they deserve it for all the things that I, and other people have put them through.
Overall, my grandmother dying and grandfather moving in with my family was one of the most important events that have happened in my life. I did not realize it at the time he was living with us. But after, when I thought about it, it was one of the most profound moments of my life. It showed me not to be selfish, and it showed me the importances of relationships that people create with each other are.

- get handle of node specified by PICL tree path
cc [ flag… ] file… -lpicl [ library… ] #include <picl.h> int picl_get_node_by_path(const char *piclpath, picl_nodehdl_t *nodeh);
The picl_get_node_by_path() function copies the handle of the node in the PICL tree specified by the path given in piclpath into the location nodeh.
The syntax of a PICL tree path is:
where the <def_propname> prefix is a shorthand notation to specify the name of the property whose value is specified in <def_propval>, and the <match_cond> expression specifies the matching criteria for that node in the form of one or more pairs of property names and values such as
where '@' is a shorthand notation to refer to the device address or a FRU's location label and is followed by <address>, which gives the device address or the location label.
For nodes under the /platform tree, the address value is matched with the value of the property bus-addr, if it exists. If no bus-addr property exists, the address value is matched with the value of the property UnitAddress. To explicitly limit the comparison to bus-addr or UnitAddress property, use the '?' notation described below.
For nodes under the /frutree tree, the <address> value is matched with the value of the Label property.
The expression following '?' specifies matching property name and value pairs, where <prop_name> specifies the property name and <prop_val> specifies the property value for properties not of type PICL_PTYPE_VOID. The values for properties of type PICL_PTYPE_TABLE, PICL_PTYPE_BYTEARRAY, and PICL_PTYPE_REFERENCE cannot be specified in the <match_cond> expression.
A _class property value of picl can be used to match nodes of any PICL classes. The class picl is the base class of all the classes in PICL.
All valid paths must begin at the root node denoted by '/'.
If no prefix is specified for the path, the prefix defaults to the name property.
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise a non-negative integer is returned to indicate an error.
The value PICL_NOTNODE is returned if there is no node corresponding to the specified path.
General system failure
Not a node

Activity: Discover Lengths
This is a simple but very useful activity:
Measure the length, width and height of everyday items
You will need:
- A ruler (for smaller items)
- A tape measure (for larger items)
- Pen and paper
Measure using millimeters (mm) or inches (in). Try to do both if you can.
Length is the distance from end to end.
But "Length" can also mean the longer distance across:
- Length: Longer distance across
- Width: Smaller distance across
- Height: vertical distance
But here we are interested in any distance (length, width or height).
Spelling: Length and Width end in "th", but Height ends in a "t"
Using A Ruler
Make sure one end of the object is at the "0" mark and read the number at the other end. You can also count the little marks between the numbers for a more accurate answer.
Measuring the length of a fork (8 inches or 200 mm long)
Using a Tape Measure
A tape measure has a little right-angled "hook" at the start ... you can use this to hold on to one edge while you pull the tape measure to the other edge.
Make sure you measure straight across (or straight up and down) or your answer will be wrong.
Measuring the width of a door (820 mm wide).
Measuring the width of a table.
Measuring the height of a chair.
Fill In This Table
Measure the following items (including three others that you find):
|Chair seat (height)|
|Chair back (height)|
From Smallest to Largest
Now, list the items above, from the smallest to largest distance:
Example: Paperclip (width), Teaspoon (length), Pencil (length), ...

I’m over at Sarah Reinhard’s place today taking a closer look at the Hail Mary. How fitting that she invited me to write about GRACE. I’m a grace monger right about now as I’m making final preparations for my big trip and speaking gig at the Behold Conference. By tomorrow evening I won’t be virtually hanging out with the likes of Sarah. I’ll be in the same room as her. Woo-hoo!
Here’s a snippet from my guest post:
Mary helps to reveal what a beautiful thing God’s grace is and that it’s there for our taking.
I had a friend recently compare parenthood to that of running a marathon or an ultra race. Her husband has competed in both, and my friend admitted that she couldn’t even begin to think about physically challenging herself to that degree. But her husband reminded her that he gets the same kind of response – “I could never do what you do and have so many children!” – from others who discover he has eight children.
She wrote, “People are capable of doing difficult, unfathomable things.” Mary is proof of this.
From the moment of the Annunciation, she said yes to God over and over. She even said yes to watching her only child suffer and die. She achieved and endured unfathomable things.
How did she do this? With God’s grace.
Also, while you’re clicking around the Web, be sure to check out this post written by an in-the-flesh-friend of mine. As a mom to little ones, I’ve had to learn to find God in the small things – everything from silly board books to peanut butter spread across two slices of bread. Erin, also a mom of four little ones, shares how God is everywhere and even speaks to her through Dr. Seuss. My friend has Kingdom eyes and finds God in the details – and in green eggs and ham.
Our prayer lives don’t have to be complicated or even contemplative right now. This isn’t the life mothers are able to live. It’s not usually possible for us to retreat into the desert – or even the bathroom – to pray, but sometimes keeping our prayer life simple is just what God wants us to do. Not that we shouldn’t try to carve out alone time as Elizabeth Foss reminds mamas in her recent column. Even small pockets of solitude feed the soul. But when we’re interrupted or when the 40 days of Lent sounds more like paradise than penance, remember God is still around for you. Seek Him first in the menial tasks of motherhood like diaper changes or reading the same books over and over.
Have a simple, lovely, and God-filled day!
Now before I write anything further, I have to be clear that I’ve never had to endure the strictest form of bed rest when you end up in the supine position stuck in a hospital for weeks or even months. Or if you’re lucky, you’re allowed to lounge on your side at home in the company of a catheter and home health care. Nor have I had to sustain months and months of being sidelined. (You do know that author Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle wrote some of her books while on complete bed rest for almost nine months during a high risk pregnancy? Talk about sacrificial love!)
Until this pregnancy, I never had full-blown premature labor. It was just a Type A cervix and smallish babies that landed me on bed rest.
Although my husband and midwife called it strict bed rest with Mary Elizabeth (my third baby), I was still able to get up, shower, and go to the bathroom, and I was never afraid to breath. I did stay up in my room, resting and brooding, but thanks to a very thoughtful husband, I had a lovely bouquet of roses to gaze at as well as a big pile of books to work my way through.
With Rachel (my second baby), they called it modified bed rest. I could get up to grab a bite to eat or engage in other short bursts of activity, but I pretty much stayed horizontal for most of the time (about three weeks).
This time it’s a little different because of the newish fFn test and the fact that I had a negative one last Monday (I have to repeat the test on July 6th to help determine if I need to be admitted to get steroid shots to help the baby’s lungs). The negative results gave us a boost of confidence that this baby would stay put for at least another two weeks from the day it was administered (June 20th). When I was discharged from the hospital, the nurse and doctor thus instructed me to try to get help with childcare and housework, to take it easy as much as I could, and to restrict my activity.
I had a follow-up appointment that Thursday with my midwife and was hoping for some more exact instructions or rules to follow, but she gave me the same advice and urged me to listen to my body. “If contractions start, then stop what you’re doing and rest. No one can tell you what to do or what feels okay to do. You’ve got to listen to your body.”
The label “modified bed rest” continued to be thrown around, but it was ultimately up to me to decide exactly what that meant.
My midwife put her complete faith in me and my ability to pace myself and warmly said I’d grown more sensible with each bed rest experience. (We’re like old friends, and she understands my compulsive personality well.) She probably would have taken that immediately back if she’d overheard me in the car on the way home.
“So does this mean I can still workout if I’m feeling okay?” I asked my husband. I was grinning sheepishly, mostly joking.
He didn’t smile back. Instead, he looked at me like I was insane.
Okay, okay so modified bed rest doesn’t mean hurling around kettle bells. In fact, pregnancy probably doesn’t mean I should be doing much of that either. And I know that. I’m not putting this baby at risk. Trust me. I ventured out to Mass on Sunday (the girls and my big outing for the week!) and sat down during the liturgy at one point when I felt contractions coming on. I am being sensible, and it’s actually getting easier with each pregnancy to accept my limitations as well as to accept help. (Every experience we have is purposeful and a way of teaching us more about God and how to be more like Him; that’s something my spiritual director has said. He’d also probably now say – if I hadn’t missed my appointment this past week – that I should treat my repeated experiences with bed rest as a sort of spiritual boot camp and a chance to not just grow a baby longer but to grow in virtue. But maybe I’m just putting words into his mouth.)
Still, none of this means bed rest – modified or not – doesn’t sometimes drive me crazy or leave me feeling frustrated or helpless especially when it comes to caring for my other children. However, my three experiences with lying low have armed me with some coping strategies. Some of them may seem silly; some are practical; and some of them are pontifications born out of having too much time to ponder on my hands. Take what you will. Leave the rest. (This is an epically long post; I apologize!)
I’ll share them here in the hopes that they might help some other mama who unexpectedly finds herself on bed rest, restricting her activity, and/or having more idle time on her hands than she ever felt possible.
1. Slap on some lipstick. Or give your eyes a quick swipe of mascara. Or style your hair. Maybe a friend can even give you an at-home pedicure. Just do something to make yourself feel like more than just a lifeless lump. Just because I’m stuck inside for most of the day, and my only visitors are family who have seen me at my worst doesn’t mean I ought to completely ignore my appearance. I’ll admit I typed a good bit of this while wearing a cozy pair of PJs, but my hair was brushed, and my lashes flickered with a thin coat of mascara on them. A little primping helps me to feel human, if not pretty.
2. Change your perspective. When I was put on bed rest the first time with Rachel, I remember thinking, “Okay, this might be nice and even relaxing.” I thoroughly enjoyed the first few minutes of resting on my couch watching others manage my household and play with my oldest child. Very quickly, though, my inability to be part of the action started to drive me crazy. I felt utterly unproductive. I hated doing nothing.
Only, I wasn’t doing nothing. Not at all.
There’s a Palomino rocking horse on my front porch. He’s been stripped of his saddle, and some of his coat is a bit on the crusty side. He’s airing out after a toddler decided to straddle him in a very poopy diaper that proceeded to leak all over the once noble steed.
I was downstairs folding laundry when I heard the screeching, “MOMMY!”
I chose to ignore it because I’ve been hearing screeching and crying and whining and “She hit me!” and “No!” all weeklong.
That was a big mistake. The yelling, it turns out, was to alert me that Mary Elizabeth had a leaky and very poopy diaper. Not only had she christened the rocking horse with it, but she’d also climbed on my husband and my bed leaving a trail of stinkiness.
When I say I’m in the business of hazardous waste removal, I’m not kidding.
The poop made me cry.
Can a toddler’s toxic waste break a mama’s back?

We were contacted today by Jose Morales of Panama who filled us in on his team’s recent results in the Ocean to Ocean cayuco race. Here’s what he had to tell us:
My crew wants to share a testimonial your company might find interesting as we used your outrigger paddle adapter to train to race a type of boat called cayuco (see picture attached). These boats are distinctive to Panama, Central America. We race every year from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Panama Canal. It is a grueling 50 mile race in which this year utilizing your equipment, we placed 3rd in the open coed category over 30 qualified coed boats, and in the top 10 out of more than 90 boats. This is a race that has a 60 year old tradition which is definitely getting international spotlight as there were even members of the US olympic team who came down to paddle the race.

Need a good book to go with the good weather? In the lead-up to this evening’s English PEN Summer Party, Marina Warner, James Meek, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Blake Morrision, and many more offer their tips for what to read in translation this summer
I’d like to recommend Stefan Chwin’s Death in Danzig, translated from the Polish by Philip Boehm, an eerie evocation of the immediate aftermath of the Second World War in which Polish families begin to recolonise the city from which the Russians drove them out, and the stories old and new inhabitants mysteriously commingle. The novel dates from 1995 and the translation was published in 2005.
A Tale of Love and Darkness, by Amos Oz, translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange. In 1952, Amos Oz’s mother committed suicide. This monumental, heart-breaking, extremely funny memoir seeks the reasons why against the backdrop of the family’s arrival in Thirties Palestine.
Beware of Pity, by Stefan Zweig translated by Anthea Bell. Dark, subtle, psychologically astute – I read page after page with a hand clapped over my mouth in horrified fascination. A young Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer entangles himself with the crippled daughter of a rich landowner, blurring the lines of love and pity and plunging – we watch him do it, tumbling in slow motion – ever deeper into a deception from which no good could ever come. Zweig is a magnificent storyteller.
I recommend Pasternak’s Dr Zhivago, (latest translation by Larissa Volokhonsky and Richard Peaver), which I’m reading at the moment, a maddeningly complicated novel that shouldn’t work at all but which draws you in slowly and subtly. Written in Russian, unpublished, banned, first published in the west in Italian, then translated back into Russian, its own journey is as circuitous and inspiring as those of the characters.
Emile Habiby, Saraya, The Ogre’s Daughter translated by Peter Theroux Ibis. Inspired by a Palestinian variation on the fairy tale of Rapunzel, it’s a philosophical fable for our time, written in 1991, undiminished in its eloquence about the tensions and the high hopes that continue to be part of daily life in the region.
I’ve long been an admirer of Francophone writing from sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb. I have particularly loved works by Tierno Monénembo, Ahmadou Kourouma, Alain Mabanckou and Leonora Miano. Many are available in English, but not enough. I was lucky recently to read a manuscript of Leonora Miano’s latest work, La Saison de l’Ombre. It’s not yet translated, but it is brimming with power and inventiveness. Moving northwards to Morocco, and written in a completely different style, I’m still haunted by the horror and beauty of Tahar Ben Jelloun’s This Blinding Absence of Light translated by Linda Coverdale.
Admittedly, I’m biased in this recommendation, but readers of English can take a strange and wonderful trip to the beach this summer: Bulgarian novelist Angel Igov’s new book, A Short Tale of Shame, translated by Angela Rodel and published by Open Letter.
Pablo Neruda’s Memoirs, translated by Hardie St Martin, is a hugely enjoyable book: it is a moving insight into how personal experience brings about the birth of the poetic voice, and it offers a treasured view into a Chilean childhood.
Carlo Levi, Christ Stopped at Eboli translated by Frances Frenaye. This is an extraordinary book written by an extraordinary man. Levi was a doctor who was exiled to the south by Mussolini during the 1930s. The book is a gripping, moving and occasionally very funny insight into a world most of us never knew existed: the rural communities of the Mezzogiorno, where superstition and vendettas were daily events. I reread from time to time and always find something new. One of the more astonishing facets of the book is that Levi wrote it while on the run from the Nazis in Florence. Had they caught him he would probably have been dead, both as a Jew and a communist.
Friedrich Christian Delius’s Portrait of the Mother as a Young Woman (Peirene Press) follows the inner and outer journey of a German woman as she makes her way across Rome, over the course of an hour, one day in 1943 – a compelling story of innocence on the one hand and Nazism on the other, told in a single 120-page sentence, excellently translated by Jamie Bulloch.
In Small Memories, José Saramago (Harvill Secker) recalls a 1920s Portuguese childhood full of wonder and warmth – poverty and hardship too. All writers are formed to a degree by their childhoods and here, in distillation, are the ideas and experiences that shaped the future Nobel prize winner. Margaret Jull Costa’s translation perfectly captures Saramago’s sly humour.
Ashes of the Amazon by Milton Hatoum and translated by John Gledson. This is a vivid family saga about a clash of values, the personal and political, art versus materialism and militarism, reliable and unreliable memory and ultimately a story of Brazil. Better still, it does not serve up yet more magic realism, once a flight into unexplored literary spheres, now a clichéd expectation of South American writing.
The translation I’ve read recently that has given me the most to think about, that affected me most strongly, is Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of the Iliad. It is as if all European literature since has been one great house, and Homer stands in the doorway; alone, he has come from the outside.

Can you see the dot on the head thermometer attached to the metal spoon? This time our experiment worked! We found out that the metal spoon conducts heat the most effectively. We recommended to the refreshment stall holder to use wooden or plastic spoons. However we decided that wooden spoons are stronger but each flavour of soup would need a separate spoon as flavours can be asorbed by wooden spoons!!!

When I first discovered the kink community, in the days before FetLife, I fell in with a bunch of people who coordinated their kink lives through LiveJournal. They used it as a place for community and social coordination, and to participate in that I needed to create an LJ account. I needed to think of a screen name.
I wanted to combine something about primal lust, and something about tenderness. I figured Italian sounded romantic, so I looked up what “lover” was in Italian (thank you, online automated translators); I found “inamorato” for “a male lover.” Ultimately I settled on “rough lover,” or “rough inamorato.”
It turns out that’s spelled wrong: it should properly be spelled “innamorato,” with a double n. If I wanted to be correct, I would have done “roughinnamorato.” But I didn’t find that out until much later, when I had already been using the account for a while, and hey, what difference did it make? It was just an online account.
Then I got a gmail account (to separate my kink explorations from the rest of my life), and to be consistent, I picked “roughinamorato” at gmail. But that was OK, because it was really just there for the dozen or so people I knew in this new kink world.
Some years later, FetLife came around, and everyone in our group started getting accounts on FetLife, so naturally, to make things simple, I grabbed “roughinamorato” on FetLife too. And then I started acquiring friends on FetLife. And the number of people who’d seen the name grew. Then I started using Roughinamorato in the scene when I presented, to protect my privacy in my business life. The misspelling was now officially entrenched.
So now I use Roughinamorato for my scene name and presenter/educator/whatever world, and people call me Rough’, and there it is. When I began using it I never intended to use it in actual speech; honestly, it’s kind of awkward to say. Does not fall trippingly from the tongue. It’s a mouthful, actually. Requires extra diction.
The hardest part is probably being introduced to people who’ve never seen the word spelled out; they have no reference, and usually just think they’re hearing “Ralph.” I usually let them – if it becomes important it’s easy enough to fix later.

My Teacher, My Love Ch. 07byAPGilmore©
Part 7 - Preparing For School
Amy offered to make us breakfast, so I just sat at the table, watching her move about making what looked to be an appetising meal. I was hungry, but not just for food, watching her move, the way her ass moved, I so wanted her right now. I wondered what would happen tomorrow when we both returned to school. I was going to make it easy for us and decided that making friends would be the best distraction. Being alone all the time left me with no distractions except school work, and I usually had that done in no time at all. I could start going to the library and reading but making friends was something I needed to do. I needed to grow now, before it was too late. While talking with Amy and my parents over the last few days I realised I had missed some important lessons about growing up, socialising was a very big part of that, learning from other people. I looked at the clock on the wall, it was just after 8am, my parents slept in on Sundays. So we had a little private time to ourselves, enough time to chat about certain things.
"Is it ready yet, I am starving."
"Me too, I am doing the best I can, but cooking takes time."
"Well as your making it, which smells delicious by the way, I will give you a break."
"Why thank you for your approval. But just so you know, I am doing this, because I need the distraction, because when I look at you, I just want you right then and there."
"How do you think I feel I have been watching your ass for the last ten minutes?" And just to rub it in she wiggled her ass at me. I moaned a little. "Your just a big tease Amy, aren't yah."
"Is that a dig at my height? Anyway I am not teasing, I want you to look at my ass, it's nice that you are interested."
"Oh I'm interested. It's like a ripe peach; I like peaches, just to bite into it, all those juices." Now she moaned a little.
"Now who's the tease?"
"What little ole me, why I declare you are too precious for words, you sweet, juicy thing you." She turned towards me, I jumped out of my chair and we just grabbed each other and kissed, hard. We were like ticking time bombs. When we touched and just relaxed together, we would be fine. But when we teased, it grew and grew, each of us getting more and more turned on, until we were ready to explode. Our tongues were fighting again, until I sucked her tongue into my mouth. Our moaning grew, oh fuck it, I needed her now. She was wearing denim shorts and I knew she had nothing on underneath. I unbuttoned them and shoved my hand inside, seeking my target. She was so wet, I slid in two fingers and using my palm I stimulated her clit. She did the same to me; her fingers were right where I needed them.
"Oh fuck Amy, I need to come now, please. Just fuck me hard."
"Oh yes Sophie my love, I want you to cum, but keep you fingers moving hard baby, I need to come to." I was very close, I started to suck her neck to stifle the moans, she was doing the same, but when we came together, we both bit hard. It was amazing.
"That was certainly interesting," I finally said after a few moments. "Do you think we can control ourselves at school?"
"Not that I think it's funny, but I have this image in my head of you jumping on my desk, naked and we just start fucking each other." We both laughed but we needed to calm down and get some prospective on this. We both tidied up, but not before we both licked and sucked the juices of our hands. It was quite a come down, exciting, thrilling but scary. We had lost control, in the kitchen of all places. I sat back down and Amy finished breakfast. We ate silently, lost in our own thoughts, but over the past few days, I figured we were pretty much in sync with each other and were both thinking the same things. After we finished eating, I helped tidy the kitchen. Amy had made some extra for mom and dad, so served them and put them in the oven. We each grabbed a cup of coffee and went to the living room.
"I guess you are thinking what I am thinking?" I asked. We sat down on the three seater couch. We faced each other, but kept a few feet of distance between us to let the other know it was time for that chat.
"If you're thinking about the fact we so easily just lost ourselves in the moment, losing control like that. Then yes."
"There is a part of me that is very happy that we found each other and that we are comfortable together. But part of me is scared that we have so little control sometimes, and outside this house we need to control ourselves."
"Oh Sophie, I'm scared too, we just met, started something great, but I just want you all the time. I know tomorrow will be a huge test, and I hope we both pass with flying colours, but there is this part of me that just thinks we may just lose it again."
"Amy, I am not losing you, ever, so we have to be strong. I think part of it, I believe, is that it is all new to us, exciting and amazing, it is a feeling neither of us wants to lose. The other thing is that this house is our sanctum, our house of love, so part of it is that this is the only place we can show and share our love. So maybe it is all just psychological."
"I think you are right. Maybe once we go our separate way tomorrow, things will just go back to normal, like the house is the only place we will act out our love, but then it calms once outside."
"That is the hopefully the idea, the fear we will lose that freedom outside, were just struggling to cope, so we just go crazy inside, but outside things will just be calm between us."
"Well it sounds like a good theory, we'll test it later. But now my love, lets discuss this morning and whatever you wanted to say yesterday before we fell asleep, I have a feeling it ties in with what we have already spoken about."
"It does but nothing serious really. You just mentioned we are comfortable now with each other, and that is what I noticed this morning after we made love. Yesterday we were careful with each, treading carefully about what we said and did to each other. Now we have taking that final step, we have just finally beaten that final barrier and now neither of us are nervous or scared of saying or doing anything, because we both are just comfortable with each other. This morning I got out of bed naked, went to the toilet. I did not close the door, you walked in naked, just acted normally while you kissed me, I was at the time having a piss and you then you went for a shower, and then I joined you. Everything we did, we would never have done yesterday, like when we got ready for bed, we did it separately and in private."
"Wow, I never realised, like I was asking before we made love the first time, if it was ok, yet in the kitchen I just wanted to fuck you and not even thought about what you wanted. Sorry, that sounds bad, but you know I am just too comfortable to think you didn't want to, plus I am sure you would have said no."
"I would have said no, but I don't think that is going to ever happen. I love you so much Amy, you have to believe me on that, tomorrow will be hard, because I need to be near you at all times. It will be a test for both of us. But no matter what, you are forever; my heart is so empty when you are not near. I could never survive without you. To say that after 3 days is truly the most amazing thing, to fall in love with you was easy, you are so amazing Amy, in just over a year since I have known you, just being near you had an amazing affect on me, not just in love, but in the person you are. I love everything about you, there is not anything I don't like. So I give myself freely to you, in love, in body and in mind. Ours souls are joined together, we were meant to be together, forever." I was crying again, I had cried more these past few days than I had in my whole 18 years on this earth.
"Sophie, I love you so much too. You know being the English teacher I should know the words, but yours are so poetic; your words reach me deep inside. They make me feel so loved and needed. I thank you for this weekend to explore you, both body and mind. I am never going to lose you to anyone. You are mine forever as I am yours. It will be hard, we will be tested to the limit, but knowing that together we can do anything, to feed off each others strengths, we will succeed. Soon you will get your double bed, I will get my clothes and stuff and move in. Although we can never be together at school, knowing that when we get home, we can be together, that hope alone will give me the strength to get through the day." We were both crying now, I pulled her towards me to embrace her tightly, adding gentle kisses to her mouth and cheek. Things had calmed down and we were loving each other again gently. We caressed each other as she lay on top of me, just holding on to this very gentle moment, after a few minutes we fell asleep. My last thoughts were of Amy and I knew they would be there when I awoke.
I was still smiling when I awoke. My mom was trying to get me to stir.
"Sophie, Amy, time to get up. Oh....., they look so lovely together, cute even. Look at the smiles on both there faces. Do you think they might have had sex yet?"
"They will tell us if they want to, remember last night we told them they could do whatever, without any judgement from us."
"I know, but do not tell me you are not the least bit curious."
"I am, but I don't want either of them to know that." I had been listening to this and felt it was time to tell them, the best way I could.
"Morning mom, morning dad. Dad?"
"Thanks for soundproofing my room, really helped this morning."
"Your welcome, even if you didn't bother to learn the drums, at least you get your privacy."
"Not quite, left the window open, I hope the neighbours didn't hear too much."
"The screaming was so bad I almost went deaf." Mumbled my sleeping partner against my chest.
"So I guess honey, you err, well you both are no longer virgins?" Mom asked.
"That would be correct mom, I have to say it was a perfect moment. Both of us were just ready, but it got a bit crazy afterwards." I told them.
"It usually does, once you start, you just want to keep trying it until either you fall asleep or just get bored. I guess the sleep option worked out for you." stated mom.
"Sorry about that mom," shockingly, Amy said this; my mom's face was a picture. "We were just talking and that led to letting our emotions run free and after all the sex we were just so tired. I made you and dad some breakfast; you'll find it in the oven, just needs warming up." Now dad was shocked, but part of me knew it wasn't the sleep talking and was to do with being comfortable. Amy had found her way home, to us. Most of her life she was neglected, and she wallowed in self-pity and low self-esteem. Unloved she plodded through life until she found me.
"I love you Amy, you have made my life complete." I whispered into her ear. She realised what she had said, I could here the sniffles.
"I have finally come home, to my family." Now we were all crying as everyone heard what she said.
"I am going to marry you one day Amy, and all my family will be there to welcome you into there lives." That was all it took to fully release the tears we were all holding. My god how soppy can this family get, we had more happy tears in us then I ever thought possible. Amy was just so amazing, she made us all happy. Thank god for my parents, without there acceptance and kindness, Amy and I may never have experienced this much love.
"Well were both very happy for the both of you, and thank you Amy for making breakfast for us, will leave you to it." And with that the both left us alone.
"Do you mean it Sophie that you want to marry me?"
"Of course I do, don't you want to?"
"Oh Sophie, more than anything, but isn't that, well the future, err.... we've only just met?"
"Amy, in 3 days, we met, fell in love, made love and discussed more than most couples do in there first year. I have to feel that what we have is forever. We just went through how comfortable things are between us. I have to believe you feel the same way, but you, as do I, are feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. All that has happened has still yet to fully sink in. The future may be unknown, but I will not believe that we won't not be together forever, with that in mind, marrying you will happen at some point. It may not sound quite romantic when I said it, but it was meant to reassure you that we are together, forever, and that my family is yours and you have accepted us, especially when you called my parents mom and dad. Well our parents, but officially this will happen when we marry."
"It all seems so fast and unreal, I think I need to just let it all slowly sink in. I am comfortable with everything, but it is still amazing how this has all happened in 3 days."
"Give it a few weeks; whilst we cope with the separation at school, it will give us time to reflect over everything."
"I agree, with all the emotion overload and feelings we have experienced, we need to sort things out in our heads."
"Good, then let's talk about the future, I want to discuss with you the implications that I have put on you. But we also need to start thinking about what happens once it is safe to announce our relationship to people."
"So are you just going to tell people, I don't know if I would be comfortable with that? Being gay is one thing, telling people is another?"
"I agree it will be difficult, but I won't and can't hide what we have for long. We will discuss this more closer to the time I leave school. But all I am saying is that once I have finished school, I want us to be able to go out, walk around, hand in hand. If people make assumptions, then they can, but I need to be free from our restrictions. I understand it is going to be hard for both of us to adjust. But as long as we are together, supporting each other and help others to understand things better, and then things should be fine."
"Oh, I see. I suppose you are right, I don't want to hide anymore either. I guess I am just worried about what people will think."
"Are you ashamed of us, I don't mean to sound harsh, but I need to understand whatever it is you feel? So that either I can adjust or I can help you."
"I guess being in a relationship means more than sex. Again we are new to this, and I have hidden away for so long now. I am not nor will I ever be ashamed of you. I was willing to give up my job to be with you, and I still will if it meant the difference of being together or apart. I know what we have is right and nothing will change that." Shortly afterwards mom and dad entered the room.
"Can we discuss some things with you both?" I asked mom and dad.
"Of course you can." said dad. We all took a seat in our favourite places. But Amy made me more comfortable by laying me down and rested my head on her lap. She gently soothed my back with one hand while the other played with my hair while I rubbed her leg. It was very relaxing for both of us.
"So what is it you want to talk about?"
"Sophie was telling me about what she planned for the future. We were discussing what happens when she leaves school, she doesn't want to hide anymore. I agree, it may be hard for me to come out, but it should not matter what people think, be true to yourself, don't hide who you are. Sophie taught us all that, thanks to Sally, so I am not going to let my being gay control my decisions anymore. I am tired of hiding, being lonely, watching all the normal straight people be able to leave free and easy lives. I need to stand up and be proud of who I am, if they can't see past the fact that I am gay, then it's there loss, because I don't anyone but my family."
"Thank you Amy, for your love and understanding. It will be tough, but as long as we stand together." I said.
"Sophie, you and Amy, have a great deal of courage, I mean telling us just showed us more trust than anything else. You stuck by each other, we all worked out some simple rules to help make this easier. We could not be prouder at how hard you are both willing to make this work." Said mom proudly. "Amy our initial feelings about you are not even close to what we feel now. We love you, we know you will protect and care for Sophie as if your life depended on it. I am so proud to have you in our lives. So I guess the next question should be, Sophie what will you do once you finish school?"
"Well this is what I wanted to talk to Amy about. Firstly, Amy, do you own your house."
"Yes, actually it was left to me by my Aunt Emily, she was the only family member that actually loved me without having to live by any demands, and she loved me for who I am. But she lived so far away, I maybe got 2 weeks worth of visits in a year, we wrote when we could. But she died before I was 15. She left me her house, but I was not told until I was 18. She knew my parents would try and take it away from me. Luckily I had left by then so as soon as I left home and finished university I moved here, which was the best decision I ever made." She kissed the top of my head. "Because I found you, why did you ask?"
"Well mom and dad have offered to get us a double bed." They both nodded in agreement. "Do you know when that will be? I am grateful but would really appreciate it sooner rather than later."
"Well we were planning on taking you both to town and choosing one, but maybe that would not be a good idea. So we could either pick one, or Sophie could come and Amy stay here." offered mom.
"Something I have been thinking about since our talk this morning Sophie, about learning to deal with the distance between us, especially when we are at school. I have been thinking we should test it. So please don't get angry, but after we finish talking, I plan to go home for the night, get my stuff packed and get prepared for school. This should give you a chance to surprise me tomorrow with our new bed and give us a night apart to see how we cope. If you don't agree, obviously I will not go, but please think about it." I was a little shocked to say the least, but the fact was, it was a really good idea.
"You know I really got used to the idea that once we had sex, that was it, we would never be apart and we would sleep together every night."
"Sophie this is not a rejection by any means. I was simply offering a chance to see if we could last to be apart for one night."
"I know Amy, I was just expressing my feelings, but if I am honest, your idea makes too much sense. Even I mentioned that tomorrow will be a test, but tonight alone will give us both the chance to prepare ourselves for tomorrow. But please call me in the morning before you leave for work. I will at least need to hear you voice and be able to tell you I love you in private, ok."
"Agreed. God I am so lucky to have such and understanding partner."
"I like that, partner."
"Well that is what we are. I love you Sophie, thank you for your love in return. I will miss you tonight, but it will be very beneficial to us both, never forget that I love you and we will get through this."
"I won't Amy, I love you too, and it is so great you are thinking so much about us and how to help us to deal with the problems we have to face." I turned my head to look at her; I wrapped one hand around her neck to bring her down for a kiss. It was gentle, just enough to show my love and for her to return it, before we realised we had company.
"I cannot believe you did that in front of our parents." said Amy. I looked at my parents who we blushing but also seemed happy, hearing Amy declare that they were our parents, that was another milestone in our partnership.
"Couldn't be helped sweetheart, I love you too much. So mom I will come with you and dad to get the bed, then when I get back I will tidy up Sally's old room, if that is ok with you?"

Developer IO Interactive promised live updates to Hitman, and this week, the studio delivered them; two new Escalation Contracts have arrived, and one of them shows just how fun and silly the world of assassination can be.
Dubbed "The Holmwood Disturbance," this new Escalation Contract will challenge you to kill Faustin D'Aoust with a firearm while dressed as a vampire magician. That's not my description of the look, by the way - the game literally refers to the disguise as "vampire magician." The other Escalation Contract, called "The Mandelbulb Requiem," has you assassinate Michel Charest while dressed as a staff member of the palace. So, not nearly as silly, but I imagine stealth aficionados will appreciate the extra challenge. Both missions take place on the Paris map.
If you're not familiar with Escalation Contracts, they function similar to regular missions, except that they add more obstacles each time you play through them. While you might only need to wear a specific disguise at first, by the end of the Contract you might need to wear a specific disguise, hack a laptop, disable security measures, and deal with new surveillance equipment.
But really, let's not lose sight of the most important thing here. Vampire magician, folks. Vampire. Magician.
Seen something newsworthy? Tell us!

Demonstrators at Tuesday's rally in the capital Khartoum called for the military to "go back to the barracks" [Getty]Thousands of Sudanese protesters took to the streets Tuesday to press demands for a return to civilian rule following a military coup last year, AFP correspondents said.
Sudan has been rocked by waves of demonstrations since the armed forces led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan grabbed power in October.
The takeover upended a transition to civilian rule that was launched after the 2019 ouster of Omar al-Bashir, following three decades of authoritarianism.
Demonstrators at Tuesday's rally in the capital Khartoum called for the military to "go back to the barracks", according to AFP correspondents.
They also carried posters of some of the 116 people that pro-democracy medics say have been killed in a crackdown on the anti-coup protests.
Some bore a portrait of Burhan with a cross sign and a caption telling him to "leave".In July, Burhan pledged in a televised address to step aside and make way for Sudanese factions to agree on a civilian government.
Civilian leaders dismissed the move as a "ruse", and pro-democracy protesters have maintained their rallying cry of "no negotiation, no partnership" with the military.
Economic hardship deepened in already impoverished Sudan following the coup which triggered cuts to crucial international aid.
Government employees, traders, labourers and medics among others have been increasingly critical of the rising cost of living and low wages.
In June, the UN said a record 15 million people in Sudan - around one-third of the population - were facing "acute food insecurity" and warned the situation was likely to get worse.

Magic in my Bones
by Kellie Sheridan
My name is Melanie Sinclair, and as far as anyone knows, I’ve been dead since the day I was born.
More than twenty years ago, I was smuggled into Ireland to be raised where the magical community would never find me. Two decades of hiding. Two decades of pretending to be less than I am, blending in with the lesser magicks–those whose abilities are of little interest to those in power.
My true fate may not remain a secret much longer.
Humanity is getting too close to learning about a world they may not be ready to handle. In order to fight the growing threat of exposure, the supernatural world will be hosting a summit in Galway, in my city, bringing all of the people my family died to protect me from right to my doorstep.
So much for the luck of the Irish.

We are sure it will be an instant hit with the viewers once again.”
Deeya and Tony Singh of DJ’s Creative Unit added, “With our previous season of Parvarrish we received tremendous response from the viewers on how families could relate to certain situations. Continuing with the same momentum, we are taking the concept of parenting to the next level and integrating it with various touch points of experiences and expectations. We are thrilled to associate yet again with Sony Entertainment Television and positive that Parvarrish season 2 will strike the right chord with the audiences.”

Yearn Worthy Yarn Store: Knit For Brains
If you are looking for a yarn store online that will check all the eco approved boxes, this is it! Knit For Brains (a name that makes me giggle) carries all natural fiber yarns that are not only made of yummy fibers such as soy, corn, banana, milk, organic cotton and bamboo but they are all cruelty free or %100 vegan. Being that I had never crocheted with a yarn so edible and luxurious I had to order some soy and banana fiber yarns from them. You’re not really supposed to eat this stuff (even though half of them are also names of stir fry ingredients), but my kitty did think the soy was delicious and slurped some of it up like spaghetti!
Corn, soy and bamboo are all very similar in texture and feel, being very smooth, silky and soft. The soy was totally easy to work with, in fact it was like a crochet dream come true – it never got caught on the hook like the funky acrylics do, it pulled through so easy my project went twice as fast, and the end product was soft and pretty. I didn’t get to try my banana fiber yarn yet, but the texture is really fascinating – it looks a little wild, frayed and fun…could possibly get caught on the hook?
I asked my local yarn shop owner what she thought about the banana fiber to get a better idea, and she revealed that sometimes it pulls apart. Yikes! That is like a yarn project nightmare for me, but I have not ruled out it’s yearn worthiness just yet. (I will keep ya updated on this one.)
Knit For Brains also carries other eco friendly diddies for your knitting habits, like bamboo needles and hooks, patterns and adorable vinatge buttons! Also you can find used books and vinatage patterns. I love it when really cool people with a really cool vision make a perfect store for us! Vegan! Natural fiber! Pure knitting fun! Thanks Knit For Brains.
Have any of you tried the foods turned yarn fiber for your needling pleasure? Please share your thoughts, trials, and experiences with natural fiber yarns!

The ratio between my reading and shellin' out reviews is sadly lacking. As in, I have been on a read-a-thon and my pile of books to write reviews about is increasing at a panic-inducing rate.
I never thought I'd say this but.. I need to STOP reading. Until I start on my reviews, TBL will be lackin' in the postage. Has this ever happened to you?! I'm afraid I'm going end up paying somebody to kidnap me and tie me up in front my laptop so I can write my reviews.

Treaty Interpretation and Preparatory Work
In the introduction to our discussion, Richard also raised the question of: ‘Should preparatory work be investigated only to identify agreement among the negotiators or, particularly in the case of treaty provisions with a codifying aspect, to assess the state of international law leading up to the treaty and how this affected the negotiators?’
With respect to the first aspect of the question of whether preparatory work be investigated only to identify agreement among the negotiators:
The proposition of McNair that preparatory work reflects the common intentions of the contracting parties is troubling, especially when applied to multilateral treaties. Legal fictions can be helpful and necessary to move from theoretical impasses to practical solutions. It is probably the case that there ‘is [no] single legislative will behind international law’ (ILC Fragmentation Study Report 2006), even treaty law. Treaties such as the WTO covered agreements are negotiated by a heterogeneous group with particular and diverse interests. The larger this group the more unlikely it becomes that negotiators converged to a single, specific meaning of the treaty language. Preparatory work cannot, almost by definition, concern the common intention of all contracting parties. The common intention is only formed once the treaty language has been drafted and will develop over time and with the accession of new parties. Everything before the conclusion of the treaty expresses interests, values, objectives, and concerns of a single signatory or a group of contracting parties. Negotiations are as much about common intentions as about self-interests and strategy. Using preparatory work is a matter of relevance and availability but also of weighing and balancing.
A recent Appellate Body report illustrates this well. In US – Stainless Steel (Mexico), the Appellate Body found that there was no need to consider negotiating history. But it did, nevertheless, as one of the disputants extensively relied on the negotiating history of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and its predecessor Tokyo Round Anti-Dumping Code. The US contended that historical materials demonstrated that the permissibility of zeroing was left undecided by WTO Members. The silence in the agreement on this matter was not constructive ambiguity but was intentionally excluded from its scope. As a result, the Appellate Body should read the text of the agreement to include a prohibition on zeroing. The Appellate Body rejected this argument on several grounds. Ratione personae, the negotiating history only reflected the positions of a few negotiating parties. Rationae materiae, it was also not substantively relevant, as it ‘did not resolve the issue of whether the negotiators … intended to prohibit zeroing’ [para 131]. Ratione temporis, much of the invoked materials pertained to the interpretation and drafting of the plurilateral Tokyo Round Anti-Dumping Code. This was a separate treaty from the GATT 1947 and was terminated with the adoption of the 1995 Anti-Dumping Agreement [para 132]. They are two separate treaties, with different texts, membership, binding force, and mainly different temporal scopes. Their respective negotiating history cannot easily be interchanged. As a result, the Appellate Body found that the Anti-Dumping Code ‘is of little relevance for the interpretation of differently phrased or new provisions of the Anti-Dumping Agreement’ [para 132]. In response, the US strongly disagreed with this reasoning because ‘the Division’s conclusions regarding the negotiating history simply cannot be reconciled with that history’. Ratione temporis, the US argued that relevant negotiating history of treaties no longer in force, such as the Tokyo Round Anti-Dumping Code, could serve to interpret another treaty, such as the Anti-Dumping Agreement.
Any action and inaction of negotiators preceding the conclusion of the treaty is part of the history of text, but history is not applicable law. From the practice of judicial treaty interpretation, it seems that there exists a presumption that materials evidencing such conduct, statements, or lack thereof cannot inform the meaning of the treaty text. It can be rebutted but the burden of proof is considerable. The larger the group of negotiators and signatories of a treaty, the higher that burden. It involves proving that there was a common intention of that group that the treaty text or term has a particular meaning, with written evidence.
But this raises another question, namely, if this burden of proof is met how does the negotiating history proven to reflect a common intention among (not necessarily all) negotiating partners still qualify as a ‘supplementary means of interpretation’? Perhaps, it may be possible to qualify such type of negotiating history as context under Article 31(2) VCLT, or even as evidence of a special meaning under Article 31(4) VCLT? These questions illustrate the earlier point made about understanding the relationship between different principles of interpretation, and their relative value and meaning.
With respect to the second aspect of the question of whether preparatory work be investigated particularly in the case of treaty provisions with a codifying aspect, to assess the state of international law leading up to the treaty and how this affected the negotiators:
These are just some preliminary remarks: I believe this is a different matter and that here negotiating history serves a different purpose depending on the substance of, for example, statements of negotiators. Statements of negotiating partners may be relevant to establishing what the state of customary international law is at the time of negotiating the treaty and how to codify such customary norm. Such statements may inform whether the constitutive elements of opinio iuris and state practice are available, to the extent that they inform whether States belief they are bound by a norm as a customary international law.
But when it comes to subsequent interpretation of the treaty that codifies the customary norm, the same statements can only be relevant to inform the meaning of the treaty if they clarify the extent to which negotiating States intended to be bound by the same norm as treaty law – on the assumption that pure codification is possible. Each statement should thus be examined to determine their scope. To the extent that such statements only relate to the norm that will be binding as treaty law, these statements cannot be taken into account to examine the state of customary international law (though admittedly, this may lead to a paradox, especially in the event of a large multilateral treaty being negotiated). A single statement may thus simultaneously inform whether a state believes to be bound by a norm of customary international and what that norm is, and explain how a state perceives the relationship between the treaty norm to be negotiated and the pre-existing customary norm (codification, crystallization, contracting out, etc). A single statement may thus serve two functions and an examination of the substance must determine what part is relevant to informing the state of customary international law and what part serves the purpose of treaty interpretation.
Such statements might also become relevant in the event that a court or tribunal decides to interpret the treaty against the background of other rules of international law. To the extent that such statements inform that States intended to contract out of pre-existing customary international law, it signals that the interpretation of the treaty norm acknowledges this decision. In that sense, the interpretation of the treaty against the background of other rules of international law is not about ensuring ‘harmony’ but, instead, useful to respect the choice to contract out of customary international law, in whatever degree or extent.
As I mentioned, these are just a few preliminary remarks on a most intriguing question.

What our TriPro customers are saying
In November 2014, I found out my cholesterol was slightly high through routine blood work I have done to monitor other medical issues. The following year it increased to 235 and my doctor wanted me to consider taking prescription medication.
My doctors know I don’t like to take drugs or over the counter medications, so it didn’t surprise him when I chose not to. The cholesterol levels did not concern me very much since I already try to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. I figured it is just one of those genetic things medication wouldn’t have an impact on anyway.
In January 2016, I began taking tumeric powder with my meals because my boyfriend was taking it and it worked for him. While reviewing and comparing my blood work results in November 2016, I realized my cholesterol level dropped from 235 down to 191. I didn’t remove or restrict any foods or beverages from my diet either. The only thing I did do was add tumeric powder.
I firmly believe the drop in my cholesterol is a result of my consuming tumeric powder with my meals. I continue to consume it and I have encouraged my family members and friends to give it a try as well. —–Lea
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about 7 years ago. I didn’t want to use the medications offered by my doctor because of the side effects. At first it wasn’t too bad and I put up with the pain, but over time, and when I started a more physically demanding job, the pain was interfering with my function. I tried several natural products, but I was surprised when I started taking turmeric. After just the first day, the pain in my knees was reduced dramatically-I hardly felt anything, even going up and down stairs. Plus, very important to me, its easy to take, its totally natural and inexpensive compared to a lot of other supplements. —-Chris

LONDON (CBS.MW) - Mobile phone maker Nokia on Thursday met its targets for sales and earnings growth in fourth quarter, but shares were coming off on its subdued outlook for sales in the first quarter and the decline in the average selling price of its handsets.
Yet while Nokia said conditions remain challenging, the Finnish company also said it was sticking to expectations for 10 percent growth "or slightly more" in handset volumes.
Mobile phone sales were flat at 6.7 billion euro due to weaker sales in the U.S. For the year, sales declined 4 percent to 30 billion euro.
Sales in Nokia Networks, the infrastructure business, rose 6 percent in the quarter widely topping most forecasts. Nokia maintained expectations for a 5-10 percent decline in the market in 2003.
Nokia NOK, +0.35% shares were down 2.3 percent in Stockholm, giving back gains of as much as five percent on the day. ADRs were down 2 percent at $14.60 in New York.
Nokia's caution on first quarter sales growth in mobile phones of 0-9 percent over the year likely impacted its shares in Europe trade. Analysts had been expecting handset sales growth around 7-8 percent for the quarter. Broker comment following the results was mixed.
"The impact of stiffer handset competition, an ageing portfolio and negative currency movements are beginning to weigh on Nokia sales," Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein said.
"We remain convinced that this is the year when the world's number one will begin to lag the overall handset market's growth," it said.
Nokia posted a one percent rise in December quarter sales to 8.8 billion euro ($9.5 billion). In its mid-quarter update, Nokia had guided for sales growth of 0-2.4 percent over the fourth quarter of 2001, or 8.8-9 billion euros.
In a closely watched figure, Nokia said operating margins rose to 18.7 percent, up from 18.1 percent in the quarter.
For 2002, Nokia said it had a 38 percent market share in handsets, which it said it expects to increase on in 2003. In the fourth quarter, market share for Nokia hit a record 39 percent.
Nokia said it saw record sales of 46 million handsets as unit sales rose 24 percent over the third quarter, rising at a slower pace than rival Motorola's MSI, -0.25% 30 percent.
Average selling prices however declined to around 147 euro a handset, down from 152 euro in the fourth quarter.
Looking ahead, Nokia said it expects "market conditions to remain challenging." It's expecting 0-9 percent year-on-year first quarter growth in handset sales and by "slightly less for the whole group."
Chief Executive Jorma Ollila said a press conference that the company expects a "slow start" in the sales of handsets, largely because of an industrywide buildup, the Associated Press reported.
The world's economies were "in a very slow growth state," he said, adding that the slowdown seemed to be "affecting the way the year will start."
Nokia is expecting first quarter earnings per share 15-19 euro cents a share. The lower end of its target EPS range for the first quarter is below some of the estimates.
"The guidance for the first quarter is very conservative and the concerns related to average selling prices and the impact from the weak dollar remains," said Swedish broker Enskilda.
Nokia posted pro forma earning per share of 26 euro cents in the fourth quarter, up from 24 euro cents a year ago. Pro forma excludes goodwill amortization and other one-time items. Excluding a gain, earnings per share were 24 euro cents. It had forecast earnings of 23-25 euro cents.
Net profit rose 132 percent to 1.1 billion in the quarter, reflecting an 87 million euro gain from a Nokia Venture Partners investment in Nokia Ventures among other items, it said.
Nokia additionally said that it will consider buying back up to 225 million shares, or 4.7 percent of the company, when its board of directors meet on March 27.
The Finnish mobile phone maker will also propose a dividend of 28 euro cents a share.

While the activities play a key role in what we do – at Let’s Co & Co it is essentially about the act of sharing, in the form of well-being and love. We aim to create a space where healing, the arts and creativity fused with food and beverages can all come together in a pleasant and good-natured sphere.
Happy for no reason.
No BUSIness, just BUDDY-ness.
Based on trust and mutual respect.
No wages – just sharing money.
Let’s Co & Co is somewhere that we can shed a stressful existence to make way for fun-loving and meaningful activities instead.
For most of our activities, the rates for these will be in accordance with the freedom to choose principle under the name of “Contribute as you feel”- so that everyone that comes, is free to make use of & benefit from this offer, and to decide for themselves what the value was to them personally.
Come as you are
Contribute as you feel
This aspect relates to the level of trust between the various participants in allowing everyone the opportunity to have access to the various services on offer. Much of which depends on how we experience love from our heart space here and now in relation to the giving and receiving of money. And with that same thought in mind, how does it feel for? Do we trust sufficiently that there genuinely is always enough to go round for everyone? Allowing ourselves to give from our hearts involves listening to our inner voice that sets us in motion to be able to give and receive in this way.
We trust that you have the experience & knowledge necessary to be able to fairly value the love and effort we put into our activities.
A fair and ethical pricing system doesn’t mean cheaper or for free; it means honest.
You simply sign up, take part, and experience.
You decide what you want to contribute.
Deciding afterwards what it meant to you is not the same as hastily putting some money in a box – you may pay with money but that’s not the only possibility – Contribute as you feel is fitting.
Let’s Co & Co is also part of the Organization LETS, based in Bruges, which means certain activities can be paid using the LETS exchange modality.
Let’s Co & Co is somewhere that you can discover your inexhaustible source of peace, love & happiness.

There’s more to running a successful business these days than just making sure you have a great product. Today’s consumers care more about the reputation of the businesses that they align themselves with than ever before. Millennials, one of the generations with the most buying power, are now in search of environmentally-friendly brands with the lowest carbon footprint.
Many of today’s buyers have grown up in a progressive world where economic disruption is everywhere. The youngest generations don’t want to contribute to a world damaged by pollution and waste. We have a finite amount of resources on the planet, and consumers believe that every organisation should be doing their part to protect the world we live in.
Tools like Teams Talk from Nice Network could be the perfect way to help your business digitally transform, while simultaneously reducing your carbon footprint.
What is Teams Talk?
To understand how a tool like Teams Talk can improve your carbon footprint, we’ll need to cover some basics. First, you need to know what Teams Talk is. Teams Talk builds on the incredible productivity and efficiency advantages of Microsoft Teams.
With Microsoft Teams, colleagues can stay connected whenever and wherever they choose, through video and audio conferencing, chat, file sharing, and screen sharing. The only thing missing is the telephony part of your communication mix.
That’s why Nice Network stepped in to bridge the gap. Teams Talk is the solution that combines your Microsoft Teams collaboration experience with your business PBX, so you can have a true unified communication experience.
With Teams Talk, businesses can combine their telephony systems with the solutions that their employees use everyday to collaborate and communicate through the cloud.
With Teams Talk, a dedicated solution for cloud telephony, we’ve created an environment where employees can access all of the communication and collaboration tools they need in the same landscape. This means less time wasted jumping between applications and tools.
How does Teams Talk impact carbon footprint?
For companies who aren’t sure, your carbon footprint refers to the impact your business has on the environment. A carbon footprint is the total environment influence of all the carbon emissions you create. Everything you do, from accessing servers in your network, to running your office, has an environmental price to pay.
So, how can Teams Talk assist with this? Essentially, it combines your UC and collaboration environment, so you can create a more flexible workforce. With Teams Talk, you take the essential tools for business communication and collaboration your employees use every day into the cloud. This means that employees don’t necessarily need to be in the office to access them.
Tools like Teams Talk open the door to a more flexible remote or hybrid workforce. Not only does this lead to benefits in the form of improved productivity and engagement from employees, but it’s also great for the environment too. Benefits include:
- Reduced emissions from the daily commute: The daily commute to and from work around the world contributes to around 98% of employee-related carbon footprint. With Teams Talk, employees can use their home as their office, instead, which means less driving necessary. Even people who prefer to work from local coworking spaces will often choose locations closer to home than the standard office.
- Less need for office space: Some smaller companies with access to solutions like Microsoft Teams and Teams Talk can eliminate the need for an office altogether. Office space in any form generates a ton of carbon dioxide waste from all the heating, electricity, and other demands to keep people up and running. More remote working solutions mean that there’s no need for a physical office space at all.
- Minimal data centre energy: There are other aspects of running an office that can be difficult to calculate. For instance, if you’re a software-as-a-service company, your major expenditure in energy will be storing a large amount of data to power your services. Data centres consume a lot of electricity on an annual basis. However, because remote companies don’t have a physical location, they’re more likely to use a cloud which has a smaller carbon footprint than an on-premise server. Cloud allows companies to use less than a quarter of the server power than they would on-premise.
Exploring a new style of work
In 2020, as more companies naturally made the switch to remote and mobile working following the COVID-19 outbreak, many are recognising just how effective this strategy can be for reducing carbon emissions. Remote work has long stood out as a valuable way for business leaders to improve productivity in the workplace and reduce costs.
Now, we’re seeing that the demand for remote work doesn’t just come from employees who want to have more work/life balance. It could be that switching to a remote working landscape helps us to save the planet and strengthen the resources we have.
Tools like Teams Talk help companies make the switch to a cloud-focused environment, where remote working is more accessible, no matter what kind of business you run. With Teams Talk, companies could even reduce eWaste, by allowing employees to use their own devices and technology from home.
When employees can use their preferred devices, in an environment where they feel most comfortable, they’re more likely to feel as efficient and productive as possible. There’s no new technology to learn, and no worries about adding to the landfills every time a device needs to be updated and replaced.
Here at Nice Network, we’re already working with companies to implement various solutions for reduced carbon emissions and e-waste issues.
Make your teams more carbon neutral
In a world where there’s more competition for companies than ever before, it’s important to find a way that you can connect with your customers on a deeper level. Improving your commitment to ridding your business of e-waste and carbon emissions is an excellent first start.
Showing that you’re willing to reduce your carbon emissions proves that you’re committed to making the world a better place – not just making a profit. That’s something that speaks to the customers of the modern world in both the B2B and B2C landscape.
Teams Talk opens the door to a more immersive remote working experience, where companies can connect and support their employees in any landscape. With Teams Talk, you don’t have to worry about the switch to remote or hybrid work reducing your business productivity or efficiency levels. Instead, you can harness all the benefits of getting out of the office, with none of the negatives.
To learn more about how you can use tools like Teams Talk in your strategy for reduced carbon emissions, contact the Nice Network team today. Together, we’ll help your business to achieve it’s carbon neutral status!

A Leap in the Right Direction
People are making finances, and paying off debts, a priority again and that’s a great shift. Writing off uncollectible debts is also on the rise, and that’s contributing to these lower numbers. When considering the 25 areas surveyed, only four reported a debt increase, and none were in Arizona. Phoenix folks have something to be proud of, and this is a great trend that will hopefully continue to grow.
Overall, Phoenix residents aren’t leaping on opportunities to take on more debt. They’re doing better at managing their credit cards, they’re not financing vehicles they don’t need and the mortgages that are getting approved are manageable for most. Basically, people in Phoenix are treating their credit seriously, just like they should. Gone are the free-for-all years when McMansions were standard and everyone drove a luxury car.
Avoiding a Fallback
Even though Phoenix residents are spending more carefully, there’s always the risk of slipping back into bad habits. Just one faux pas or an emergency can reverse these efforts. For example, a medical emergency or layoff can quickly undo a year or more worth of work. It’s crucial to pay off debts, but every budget should allow for an emergency fund. Ideally, a person or family should have a year’s worth of emergency funds in place, but any amount is better than none.
It’s also crucial to save for retirement and/or contribute to a 401(k) as well as actually designing and sticking to a budget that works. This means there are options for entertainment and no surprise bills down the road. Paying off debts is just one aspect of financial savviness, but it seems like these Arizona residents have that part down. It’s a tough climb out of debt, but with the right tools in place, it can be done-and the Valley residents are proof of that.

French haute couture reaches new heights at Christian Dior
Give me a famous French fashion house, and I’ll give you a weird and wonderful creative director.
Karl Largerfeld’s sunglasses, suits and blinding white hair for Chanel. Hedi Slimane’s bowl cut and staring eyes at Yves Saint Laurent. John Galliano’s unnervingly buff physique and luscious locks, formerly for Christian Dior.
Despite this, each season they pump out incredible collections that stay true to the legacies of their respective design houses.
A faux-pas en France
Sometimes, however, their bizarre ways get the better of them. After professing his love for Hitler online early last year, John Galliano was ousted from the position of creative director at Christian Dior.¹
Since March 2011, the famed French fashion house has been sailing with no one at the helm. In April this year, Belgian designer Raf Simons was named artistic director for haute couture, women’s ready-to-wear and accessories collections.²
While the collections for his eponymous men’s line have been odd, bewildering and everything in between, he assuaged fears with a stunning first collection for Dior.
A French icon
Founded in 1946 by its famed namesake, the House of Dior is one of the heavyweights of French design.³
In 1947, Dior changed the face of fashion worldwide, with his ‘New Look’ collection. Emerging from the postwar years and throwing off the ‘make do and mend’ mentality, Dior decided what the future was to look like. Cinched in waists were teamed with voluminous skirts and chic headwear.
The impact of his work was so great, that the iconic image of this collection still endures today. Since its inception, Dior has continued to keep up its tradition of reinvention rooted in classic design. The artistic directors of Dior have allowed the brand to develop and reach new heights, where other fashion houses find themselves stagnant.
Belgian expat takes the helm
The second day of Haute Couture Week in Paris saw a string of A-list celebrities lining up to see Raf Simons’ first couture offering as artistic director.
But it wasn’t Anna Wintour or Inès de la Fressange who topped the list of most impressive guests. Renowned designers Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin, Donatella Versace, Marc Jacobs, Olivier Theyskens and Azzedine Alaïa were all in attendance. It would seem that Simons has some important peers to impress.
A flower-filled mansion set the scene for a collection that was as simple as it was striking. Structured suiting sat alongside 3D florals, voluminous skirts and graphic tie-dye prints.
A disappointed French mob?
Not everyone felt their breath taken away, however. Pop Culture website Pedestrian declared that the collection was beautiful, but not breathtaking. “Compared with the high drama and spectacular showmanship of Dior’s visionary ousted couturier, John Galliano, the collection fell flat.”?
Fashionologie reporter Just Fenner remarked that, “Despite favorable reviews and warm accolades in general, the applause at the end of the show was described as ‘lackluster.’”?
I for one have always appreciated beauty in simplicity. And simplicity is often harder to perfect than opulence.
The perfect suit? Sounds simple, but is rather difficult to execute. I found Simons’ incarnation a consummate example of fine tailoring.
3D florals? They can be tacky or overdone. Simons, however, made them wearable.
While the idea of haute couture is perhaps not to be wearable, it’s refreshing to see a collection that can inspire people on a real level.
Hope for French evolution
As Pedestrian also remarked, “Once Simons becomes confident to push the boundaries of the brand’s traditions a little further, the future of Dior will be in safe hands.”?
Simons is known through his men’s collections for simplicity accentuated by overstated details. Silhouettes are sharp, but enlarged; or traditional but emblazoned with unconventional prints. His Men’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection, shown one week previously at Men’s Fashion week in Paris, is further evidence of this.
While highbrow fashion critics might choose to be underwhelmed, I choose to be inspired. Perhaps my failing is that I always choose to see the best in things.
One thing the masses cannot deny, however, is that Raf Simons is here for the long haul.

Now that we have the entire kitchen decluttered and organized (how good does that feel?!) we are going to take today to organize cookbooks and recipes. Most people will find that they have folders, envelopes, stained pieces of paper and torn out magazine pages tucked away in several different parts of their kitchen.
These bits and pieces often hold our favorite recipes from friends, family members, and are those gathered over many years of cooking beloved recipes and treats.
Don’t worry, we are not throwing all of these recipes out. What we want to do is collect them all, sort through what we want to keep, and come up with an organizing system that is clean, neat, and easy to find when we need to use them.
So how do we organize these prized memories?
One option is to collect all of these recipes in a cookbook that you make. There are many templates and companies that will let you create a personalized cookbook online (affiliate link) and you can have a copy or multiple copies printed. And there is an added bonus to this method, you can order your cookbook creation and give them as gifts to friends and family.
Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. All opinions remain my own.
If you don’t want to go the electronic route, I like to use a 3-ring binder or an accordion folder to separate recipes by meal category or season to keep them all neatly in one place.
Using protective plastic sheets is ideal for storing your favorite recipes and protecting them from our greasy fingers when we’re cooking.
Cookbook & Recipe Declutter Checklist
Let’s get started!
- First, take all of your cookbooks and loose recipes and lay them out.
- Go through and get rid of any papers or books you don’t want to keep
- Choose a place to store all of your recipes and cookbooks that is easily accessible but that also doesn’t cause a lot of visual clutter
- Consider your method of storing and organizing your loose paper recipes. If you choose an electronic method, get rid of the paper copies after you create an electronic copy. If you want to keep the paper recipes, choose some type of organized filing systems such as an accordion folder or a three-ring binder.
Click the image below to grab today’s Cookbook and Recipe Checklist and let’s get started!
After you grab the free printable each day, don’t forget to share your process and progress on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter with the hashtag #APONewYearChallenge for a chance to win a free copy of the Life-Binder Purposeful Life Planner!

CMMA names Hindi Kita Malilimutan best religious album
On its 30th year, the Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) has recognized Bukas Palad Music Ministry's HINDI KITA MALILIMUTAN as best religious album in ceremonies staged at the GSIS Theater in Pasay City yesterday, October 29, 2008. HINDI KITA MALILIMUTAN bested four other finalists in the category including Gary Valenciano's REBIRTH and Timmy Cruz's MY GUIDING LIGHT.
Bukas Palad's HINDI KITA MALILIMUTAN is an album that celebrates over 20 years of the group's music and ministry. The double-disc project contains 20 tracks: 10 liturgical hymns appropriate for celebrating the Eucharist, and 10 inspirational tunes that are radio-friendly. In the album are songs written by fellow Bukas Palad members, by winners of a song-writing contest mounted by the group, and by guest musicians Gary Granada and Noel Cabangon who appear in the CD along with violin virtuoso Coke Bolipata.
Throughout its ministry, Bukas Palad has written, recorded, and performed songs that reflect the group's faith and love for God. Its more popular hymns include Hindi Kita Malilimutan, Anima Christi, Sa 'Yo Lamang, Tanging Yaman, I Will Sing Forever, and Humayo't Ihayag. The group was formed in 1986 by college friends who were members of the Ateneo Student Catholic Action and Ateneo Christian Life Community led by Fr. Manoling Francisco, Norman Agatep, and Jandi Arboleda, who had started collaborating on religious songs when they were in high school.
Bukas Palad is currently on national tour, performing in concerts and conducting choral workshops across the country. The group's album, HINDI KITA MALILIMUTAN produced by the Jesuit Communications Foundation is available in record stores nationwide. The CDs may also be purchased in Tanging Yaman outlets at the Sonolux Building and Loyola House of Studies in Ateneo de Manila, at the Gateway Mall, and at SM Megamall Building B.

Sorry this blogpost may not be very thorough, spellchecked or rational.
Just seen this in today's online Daily Express in Dr Rosemary Leonard's column "Getting to the Heart of Medical Matters":
Q After a flu vaccination my 45-year-old son began suffering muscle weakness, fatigue and lethargy. Numerous blood tests and visits to his GP followed and he was told he was suffering symptoms of ME but no help was offered.
Can you guess the content and suggestions?
Of course you can. No peeking.
1) the flu vaccine it is unlikely the jab is to blame as it does not contain any live viruses.
2) cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), counselling and physiotherapy can be helpful along with painkillers for muscle pains and also antidepressants which can help boost mood.
3) One of the most beneficial treatments is graded exercise where the patient has a specific programme to slowly increase the amount of activity they do each day.
4) Reducing stress
5) a healthy diet
6) reducing alcohol
I'm not denying there will be nuggets of help there in among the old misguided anti-fatigue measures. But the lumping all diagnosed M.E./CFS cases under the same hallucinatory umbrella is getting us nowhere nearer to awareness of the severity of the disease in many cases. Nowhere nearer to a diagnostic test. Nowhere nearer to effective treatment. Nowhere nearer to a cure for any of the neuroimmune illnesses that fall under the influence of NICE's idea of M.E./CFS.
My own M.E. (yes, that's anecdotal, I know, I know!) symptoms, even before diagnosis and while still able, intermittently, to work, were ALWAYS worse after the annual flu jab (as a T1 Diabetic in the "at risk" group) and I always got a panoply of bad (non-flu?) viral infections both before and after the jab. It was the week following my jab in 2005 that I collapsed and became bedridden and housebound for the best part of a year and from which though improved, I have never fully recovered.
My GP sent me for 2) CBT and 3) GET. At an NHS "CFS/ME Clinic". So patient "fully compliant".
Even the OT admitted by the end of 6 months or so, that it wasn't helping me to be cured or really improved. Why? Because it was clear to her from the off that I wasn't depressed. Wasn't "frightened of doing too much". Wasn't "deconditioned". Didn't harbour those "false illness beliefs" so beloved by those who think the root causes of M.E. include psychological difficulties.
I couldn't even make the excruciating journey to the last GET feedback session because it was making me more ill. The OT could see I was motivated to return to work and my happy, successful, joyous fully functioning previous life. I had to be all but forced to take early retirement, for goodness sake. On what planet is that a "lifestyle choice"???
I had low dose amitriptyline (antidepressant) to help with relaxing painful muscles alongside painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen and paracetamol. They did nothing for me but make staying awake even harder, weight gain, fuzzy headedness, etc even worse. So in the end they were discontinued. After all, my mood had never been low.
My mood had never been low, that is, until rationally I worked out the state of play with M.E. No, I, like so many others, did not choose this diagnosis and knew nobody with it until much later on! Then, seeing my career, my freedom, my credibility as a fully-functioning citizen, my very truthfulness questioned by society as a whole, my mood did dip at times, understandably, till I understood I wasn't alone with this variable but very characteristic set of suffering symptoms (of which "fatigue" is quite low down the list, thank you!!!)
I had been eating healthily for many years, most of my adult life, as an insulin-dependent diabetic. That's a "tick" for number 5.
Number 6? Well, after collapsing with M.E, one glass of wine had me so dizzy, sick and disoriented, my central nervous system obviously knew what it didn't tolerate any more without me voluntarily reducing intake. I could tolerate the occasional glass of wine, or lager, even once or twice a spirit like brandy or vodka at Christmas before M.E. raised its much maligned head. So 6) reducing alcohol is hardly an issue to aid recovery for some of us either.
4) Reduce stress? Don't make me laugh (I've actually been known throughout my life, and every illness and circumstance as having the best positive attitude and a wacky warm GSOH)
Tell 4) to doctors, nurses, specialists, consultants, the DWP, ATOS, utility companies, landlords, and every last well meaning delusional who will thrust this article in my face to "help me cope".
I'm coping as I always have and always will. Was my diabetes down to "illness beliefs"? Was my shingles down to "illness beliefs"? Was my recently discovered tachycardia, ectopic beats & cardiac arrhythmia due to my "illness beliefs"? Was my bout of giardia in Bolivia, which may or may not have triggered my immune system's meltdown, my "illness belief"? Is the space in the teeth of my lower jaw (where I now know my great grandfather had an extra tooth) down to my defective "illness beliefs"? So what's the likelihood I've suddenly developed something that has no possible physical cause?
I'm coping. Pacing. Enduring. Hoping. Thankful. Optimistic.
But when are you going to actually treat my cardiovascular, immune, autonomic, cognitive disease? When are you actually going to prove you're listening to 250,000 people in this country and so many more worldwide? When will children and young people with M.E. stop dying from something you say has no Proper Robust Reason?
When will you cure me, or just fess up, shrug at me with a look of condescending pity and hand over the cyanide pill? (N.B. Jokey sarcasm alert - you can go on dismissing my M.E., but you will NEVER change who I am inside!) :)

We have to create images of the reality we want to experience. When we are faced with challenges, as dire as it is now, we must forge a new reality. Without a vision we are doomed. Now is the time to go within and surround ourselves with the divine energy that is readily available to us all. The time for healing, individually and as a global village is now.

Is it advisable to be mixing herbs and drugs together? Over the last few decades, the rates of prescription medication use have increased considerably, as have the rates of use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and dietary supplements.

Three-spined sticklebacks are speciation machines. When retreating glaciers exposed lakes and rivers around the coasts of northern North America and Eurasia, these armor-plated little fish colonized the new freshwater habitats from the ocean, and adapted to the threats and resources they found there. But colonists kept coming from the ocean, and sometimes they found not an empty lake or a population of sticklebacks like themselves, but unfamiliar fishes that ate some of the same things they did.
Competition between the new arrivals and their evolutionary cousins gave an advantage to fish that relied less on the resources they both used. And, eventually, in many of those freshwater lakes, there were two types of stickleback: one that made a living in the shallow limnetic zone of ponds, eating free-swimming plankton; and one in the deeper benthic zone, snapping up prey from the bottom sediment or off of rocks and vegetation. Across many different bodies of water where they’ve been found, benthic and limnetic sticklebacks mate mostly within their types, meeting the classical definition of separate species.
The specific genetic differences between freshwater sticklebacks and their oceanic ancestors have been dissected in detail—they mostly boil down to change at a single gene that reduced the bony armor plating in freshwater populations. Now, a study published recently in Nature has dissected the genetic differences between the benthic and limnetic forms, and it shows that the genetic basis of sticklebacks’ repeated ecological speciation has been quite a bit more complicated than their move from the ocean.
Matthew Arnegard and a team from the University of British Columbia, the University of California, Davis, Uppsala University, and Stanford University, started by collecting benthic and limnetic fish from a British Columbia lake that has been a focus of stickleback studies for decades. They artificially fertilized eggs of one form with sperm of the other (and vice-versa) to create a population of hybrid sticklebacks.
At the beginning of the stickleback breeding season, Arnegard and his coauthors introduced the population of hybrid fish—the first-generation offspring of benthic-limnetic matings—into an artificial pond on the campus of the University of British Columbia. The sticklebacks did what fish do: eat, avoid predators, and make lots of new fish. In the fall, the coauthors collected a large sample of the young second-generation hybrid population and started taking measurements.
First, they established that the second-generation hybrid fish were starting to sort into the benthic and limnetic niches occupied by their grandparents. Stable isotope readings of carbon and nitrogen from the sticklebacks’ tissue showed that the fish were arrayed between two isotope profiles, indicative of two different diets, and fish at the two ends of this spectrum were the largest, meaning they had grown the fastest.
In the figure above, those are fish represented by points in the clusters labeled “L” and “B”. A third cluster, labeled “A,” is a group of fish that deviated significantly from the previously known limnetic and benthic diets—they grew more slowly than any other fish in the sample. Inventorying the gut contents of the fish in each cluster confirmed they had been eating different mixtures of aquatic invertebrates, corresponding to their availability in the benthic or limnetic zones. Measuring the fish taken from each group, the authors found that the intermediate fish had mouth cavities and lower jaws like their limnetic grandparents, but upper jaws more like benthics.
Finally, the team conducted a quantitative trait locus analysis to identify regions of the stickleback genome where fish with similar measurements shared genetic markers. They found 76 different genome regions, QTLs, that showed strong associations to traits that separate benthic sticklebacks from limnetic sticklebacks, spread widely across the genome. Fish with more benthic-like alleles at these QTLs also had more benthic-like isotopic dietary profiles—a nice demonstration of the connection between the genetic data, the morphological differences, and the actual ecological differences of the two different stickleback forms.
To test for non-additive interactions between QTLs, Arnegard et al. compared regression models predicting the fishes’ measurements with the QTL alleles, and a model that allowed for both dominance effects and non-additive interactions proved to fit the data best. That model identified four pairwise interactions among QTLs, but including them explained about 5% more variation than a model without interactions. It’s fair to say, as the authors do, that most of the predictive power was from simple additive effects.
Because they used a relatively small set of genetic markers—just 408 across the entire stickleback genome—Arnegard and his coauthors couldn’t define the QTLs they found with much precision. Some of them cover more than half of a chromosome! So it’s not impossible that there could be smaller loci with non-additive interaction effects lurking within some of those QTLs. Still, I think the finding that regions across more than half of the different stickleback chromosomes contribute additively to the differences between benthic and limnetic fish is pretty solid evidence that the multiple parallel stickleback speciation events have been created by differences at many loci of small effect.
That’s interesting both because it contrasts with the single-locus story of differentiation between oceanic and freshwater sticklebacks, and because it hints at a broader range of genetic models underlying speciation. As the authors note, speciation involving many loci of small effect may reflect adaptation from standing variation—in this case, genetic variation that may originate in the freshwater sticklebacks’ oceanic ancestors.

PESHAWAR: Security forces on Sunday killed five more militants – said to be Uzbeks – in a fierce gunbattle in Pawaki village, just one kilometre from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) airbase in Peshawar, clearing the area off miscreants after the Saturday night’s attack on the Bacha Khan International Airport and PAF base. The airport was cleared 16 hours after the assault.
A police commando, Sareer Khan, was also killed and two other cops wounded during the six-hour-long gunbattle between the militants and police supported by soldiers of the Pakistan Army. The militants had taken shelter inside an under-construction house in Pawaki after the botched attack on the PAF airbase. There were reports that two policemen were killed in the incident that shocked the people of Peshawar.
The commandos of the Peshawar Police and Elite Force as well as soldiers of the Pakistan Army launched the operation on Sunday morning after receiving reports that some militants who had attacked the airport and the adjacent airbase on Saturday night were hiding in a building in Pawaki village.
“Two attackers blew themselves up while the other three were gunned down inside the house. These were the people who had attacked the airport last night,” Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Imtiaz Altaf told reporters.The CCPO said the police had been tipped off about the presence of the militants inside the building when the cops were conducting a search operation after the Saturday night attack.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Senior Minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour said the police could not cordon off the entire Peshawar and this was the reason that the attackers managed to hide in the house in Pawaki. “The police did a great job by taking out all the attackers before they could reach their target,” he maintained.
All the militants killed on Sunday were said to be wearing suicide jackets and four seemed to be non-locals. Some sources suspected four of the attackers to be Uzbeks. A tattoo was also inscribed on the body of one of the slain militants, a source said, adding that it might be the emblem of a militant organisation. The presence of Uzbeks affiliated to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) in the two Waziristans under the protection of local militants has been confirmed in the past.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it had sent 10 attackers to accomplish the mission. The TTP spokesman Ihsasnullah Ihsan called different media organisations to announce that their target was the PAF installations at the airbase.
Pawaki remained tense and was mourning the deaths and injuries to a number of villagers who became victim of the attack late Saturday night.The residents remained stranded for several hours when the security forces sealed off the area on Saturday morning. Women and children were crying amid intense firing and explosions in Pawaki, sited around one kilometre west of the airbase.
The owner of the under-construction house in Pawaki and his nephew told reporters that labourers arriving for work saw the heavily armed militants hiding in the house at around 7am in the morning. They said the militants told the labourers to arrange shawls and a vehicle for them as they apparently wanted to escape from there. The labourers were reportedly warned not to inform the police about their presence. They complained that the police arrived one-and-a-half hours after the militants were first found out hiding in the house.
An official said the operation started at around 9am and continued till 2pm when police commandos entered the house by ramming an armoured personnel carrier (APC) into the main gate of the building.
As the cops entered the house, two militants wearing suicide jackets blew themselves up while another three were shot dead. The area was later cleared. Several live bombs and hand-grenades recovered from the area were later defused.
The in-charge of the bomb disposal unit, Shafqat Malik, said they had recovered six suicide jackets that were defused. He said the unit also defused a number of live hand-grenades, improvised explosive devices, rockets and other ammunition recovered from the spot.
The police contingents, however, continued patrolling the streets after the operation and an APC was also deployed in the village to deal with any emergency situation.
In the biggest attack so far on the Peshawar Airport by the militants, five attackers were killed during an exchange of fire with security forces on Saturday night while the other five managed to escape.
Officials said that 10 militants armed with suicide jackets, two explosive-laden vehicles, hand-grenades, rocket launchers and automatic weapons stormed the airbase at around 8:15pm and tried to enter the airport building on Saturday night.
A source said the militants rammed two explosive-laden vehicles into the boundary wall of the airbase, one of which exploded with a huge blast while the other did not explode. The blast damaged the boundary wall and destroyed a nearby house.
“The airbase and airport were attacked from the Pawaki and Abdarra side at three different places. On two sides, the militants rammed explosive-filled cars, one of which did not go off while at the third place they were planting an anti-tank mine when security personnel got alerted and opened fire,” an official said.
District Coordination Officer (DCO) Javed Marwat on Saturday confirmed the death of five people and injuries to 46 others on Saturday night. As the operation continued, all the flights coming to the Bacha Khan International Airport were diverted to Islamabad.
The airport was opened for flights on Sunday afternoon when the first flight of the Pakistan International Airlines took off for Karachi. A source said 22 flights were suspended since the Saturday attack.
The Inter-Services Public Relations said all the PAF installations and assets and the Bacha Khan International Airport remained safe in the attack.
APP adds: Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Tahir Rafique Butt visited the Peshawar airbase that was attacked by terrorists on Saturday night, according to a PAF press release.
Air Vice Marshal Muhammad Arif, Air Officer Commanding, Northern Air Command, and Air Commodore Khawar Hussain, Base Commander, Peshawar, briefed the air chief about the salient features of the anti-terrorist operation conducted by security forces.
Synergetic effects achieved through a joint operation by the PAF, Pak Army and civil police were also highlighted.
The air chief, while interacting with officers and security personnel, who jointly conducted the operation, commended their courage, valour and spirit to defend the vital national assets.
The air chief also lauded the timely and efficient response of commanders and troops of the PAF base that successfully thwarted a major terrorist attack. He especially appreciated the high motivation level of deployed PAF and Pak Army security forces and their resolve to defend the national assets at any cost.
Air Marshal Muhammad Hasan, Deputy Chief of Air Staff (Administration), accompanied the air chief during the visit.Meanwhile, a spokesman of the PAF said that the Peshawar airbase, which was attacked by terrorists on Saturday night, was in total control and normal operations had resumed.

Now that Ham Days is over it's time to get into serious hunting mode. With that in mind I broke down and bought a "Parker" crossbow. After 50 years of shooting re-curves and compounds, my shoulder finally wore out. I fought getting a crossbow for years because I thought it was for old men and much too easy to shoot. Well, I accepted the first and was surprised at the later! My crossbow is a 180-pound compound, which shoots 20-inch bolts (arrows) at over 300-feet per second. For comparison, my Matthews Solocam was 70 pounds and shot right at 300 feet per second.

British PM Cameron: Help Assad flee to bring end to Syria conflict
In interview with Al Arabiya television, the British premier adds that he would not offer Assad exile; Cameron also insists U.K. would not consider providing weapons to Syria's fractured opposition.
British Prime Minister David Cameron suggested Tuesday that Syria's president Bashar Assad could be allowed safe passage out of the country if that option would guarantee an end to the nation's civil war.
In an interview with Al Arabiya television, Cameron said the international community should consider anything "to get that man out of the country and to have a safe transition in Syria."
"I am certainly not offering him an exit plan to Britain, but if he wants to leave, he could leave, that could be arranged," Cameron said, speaking in Abu Dhabi on the second day of a three-day tour of the Gulf and Middle East.
Activists say that since Syria's unrest began in March 2011, more than 36,000 people have been killed. The conflict is now stuck in a military stalemate, which rebel fighters blame on a lack of strategic weapons, such as anti-aircraft missiles.
"Of course, I would favor him facing the full force of international law and justice for what he's done," Cameron said, before he arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for talks with King Abdullah.
In London, diplomats said that Cameron was not suggesting Assad could escape potential international prosecution if he were to be granted passage out of Syria.
Cameron has previously called the failure of world powers to halt the Assad's regime assault on its opponents a "terrible stain" on the reputation of the deadlocked United Nations, where Syria's allies Russia and China have repeatedly blocked attempts to approve harsher sanctions in the Security Council.
"I am very frustrated that we can't do more. This is an appalling slaughter that is taking place in our world today - 40,000 lives lost already and you can see, on your television screens, night after night, helicopters, airplanes belonging to the Assad regime pounding his own country and murdering his own people," Cameron said.
However, he insisted that Britain would not consider providing weapons to Syria's fractured opposition - in part, because of concerns about the growing prominence of extremist groups fighting alongside the rebels.
"My fear is, firstly, that the slaughter will continue, that the loss of life will continue. That should be our number one concern," Cameron said. "But there is another fear, which is that the longer this goes on, the more that it can promote and drive extremism and we'll see instability in the region as well."

Happy Wednesday, all! Today is Day 10 of the Holiday Card Series. For those who are are new to my blog and videos, the Holiday Card Series consists of 25 holiday card inspiration videos. I’ll be sharing holiday inspiration every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until December 20.
(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).
First, I created a background for the card by applying BoBunny Rose Gold Glitter Paste over the Holiday Foliage stencil. I used Cashmere cardstock from WPlus9, which is the lightest and softest rosy cream color. I adore how the Rose Gold Glitter Paste and the Cashmere cardstock look together.
Then I stamped one of the cat images from the Santa Paws Newton stamp set in Barely Beige ink from Simon on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I used this ink in particular because it’s very light and works perfectly for no-line coloring.
I colored the image using Copic Markers and then die-cut it using a large circle die. The sentiment was created by coloring white cardstock with one of the Copic Markers and then stamping a greeting from the stamp set and embossing it using Rose Gold embossing powder from Lawn Fawn.
I hope you enjoy today’s video and card! Thanks for stopping by!

Title: Towards Reconfigurable Optical Networks: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract: Emerging optical technologies enable communication networks to be physically reconfigurable, adapting to current workloads and failures. Optical networks further have the potential of providing higher bandwidth at a lower cost than traditional electronic packet switching, making them a natural choice for next-generation networks. However, these benefits come with new challenges, in particular the need for fundamentally new algorithmic ideas.
In this talk, I will present some recent results on how to efficiently leverage such physical reconfiguration, even across wide-area networks, but also discuss underlying algorithmic complexities. Reconfigurable topologies are not a plug and play solution and I will therefore outline future research directions.
Short CV: As of 2018, Klaus-Tycho Foerster is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, Austria, working with Stefan Schmid. In 2017 he was a postdoc at Aalborg University, Denmark. He was a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA, working with Ratul Mahajan for Fall 2016. He received his PhD degree from ETH Zurich in September 2016, supervised by Roger Wattenhofer in the Distributed Computing Group, supported by Microsoft Research. (↗ Extended CV)

Toyota details its triple-motor, super capacitor-powered Yaris Hybrid-R
Toyota has revealed the full powertrain details of the Yaris Hybrid-R concept that it teased a few weeks ago. The intriguing concept uses a 420-hp 4WD driveline that's derived from racing. In an interesting twist, Toyota uses a combination of super capacitor and motor-generator, in place of the battery pack that typically powers the motors in contemporary hybrids.
Toyota says that the super capacitor has a higher power density than an NiMH hybrid battery, along with faster charge/discharge speeds. This makes it suitable for the fast bursts of boosting power needed, both in the TS030 Hybrid race car and in the Yaris Hybrid-R, which Toyota envisions as a track-focused hot hatch. The super capacitor is charged via regenerative braking provided by the dual rear electric motors.
Each 60-hp motor is mounted at a rear wheel. These aren't electric mode, fuel economy-boosting supplements, but performance-enhancing boosters designed to quicken acceleration. In this capacity, they assist the 300-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo "Global Race Engine". That engine is mounted up front and works through a 6-speed sequential gearbox.
By mounting electric motors at each rear wheel, Toyota has developed a system that can split the torque, increasing cornering and handling capabilities. The automaker explains this more concisely than we can hope to, so we'll leave it to it:
"Depending on the radius of the curve, the system can send more torque to the outside rear wheel allowing higher cornering speeds into the corner (middle-speed curves), apply more braking force to the inside wheel (fast curves), or even brake and accelerate each wheel independently (slow curves) to adjust the yaw effect for a better line, to limit steering angle, and understeer."
As Toyota mentioned in its original teaser, the Yaris Hybrid-R has two driving modes, one for road and one for track. In road mode, the super capacitor powers the electric motors for boosts up to 10 seconds in duration. The combined power of the electric motors is slashed to 40 hp. In track mode, the motors shoot their full 120 horses out for up to five seconds, providing short, potent bursts.
The Hybrid-R has a third 60-hp motor, a non-drive unit. Located between the engine and the transmission, this motor is purely a generator, sending power to the super capacitor during deceleration and acting as a traction control device. In the latter role, the motor-generator sends power directly to the rear motors in cases where engine power and torque threaten to overwhelm the front tires and destabilize the car. The excess torque is converted into electric energy and routed to the rear wheels.
A 420-hp Yaris hybrid hot hatch with racing technology seems like the quintessential "never going to build it" concept car, but equally strange things have been known to happen. At the very least, you can look forward to moving beyond sketch and onwards to real, live photos when it debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Dinner was at 8- had yogurt and honey duh. Greek yogurt is SO much better in Greece than Houston Texas... shocker.
After breakfast we had an hour to upload pictures from the previous day and get our stuff sorted out. We left the hotel around noon for our first museum-National Archeological Museum of Athens. Although the ancient statues are interesting we were so tired
|Steph and Holly were so excited they fell asleep|
I usually don't mind museums but we were all just so tired it was difficult to stay interested..
BUT, something that was interesting was the changing of the guards at Parliament. It is SO different than the US. The outfits are.. interesting and the routine is veeery interesting...
|oh hey, you scare me|
6:30 we met back in the lobby and headed out on the townnnn for some shopping. We had dinner at an outdoor cafe and celebrated Caroline's birthday.
|callie dena steph me holly|
|steph me holly|
We decided to make a scavenger hunt/game to video people saying happy birthday Caroline in as many different languages as we could find.. so we did that after dinner for a good hour.(along with some more shopping)
Walked home and packed to leave for Nafplio tomorrow! hallelujah.

Robert Ferguson has once again agreed to put together this year’s Members’ Christmas Slideshow. This “tradition” has become a club favourite as it showcases your favourite photos and presents them in a beautiful format set to music. We always look forward to Robert’s slideshows but even more to his Christmas one given the time and effort he puts into making it such a memorable one.
Theme Image: Big is Small / Small is Big
The theme this month fits nicely into Christmas decorating, baking and miniatures but you may have other innovative takes on the topic. We look forward to seeing your interpretation and creativity so please send your photos to Robert Feduke. When submitting your images, please identify them with your first and last name and in the subject line of your e-mail indicate that it is for the theme BIG IS SMALL / SMALL IS BIG.
It is always enjoyable to share good company with good food at this special time of the year and so we ask that you bring a plate of finger food to share with others. What better way to enjoy friendship than with food. Napkins and plates will be provided but please bring your own non-alcoholic beverage. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

Honestly, what’s so damn difficult about being honest? Telling the truth, and not misleading people, is all that it ever requires. What’s so bad about the truth? It’s been said, “The truth shall set you free.” What’s so bad about being free? I kind of like being free. If you haven’t tried it yet, I’m sure you’d like it too. At least try it to see if you would.
Lying has become so common in our world today that most people no longer even consider it to be lying. To them it is simply a way of positioning themselves with others like they want to be positioned; whether it be family, friends, bosses, acquaintances, or strangers. If it involves being less than truthful, so be it.
‘To give a false impression’ is actually one of the common dictionary definitions of lying. There are not many people today who even consider giving a false impression to be lying. But I am not one of them. Giving a false impression is actually of deliberate and conscious intent, the intrinsic character of a lie.
Sure, our political leaders lie, our national religious leaders lie, our celebrity royalty lie, the corporate executives lie. It seems as if all the ‘successful’ people lie. Our parents lie, our grandparents lie, our teachers, mentors, coaches, and local priests, ministers and rabbis lie. Yes, it seems that all of our role models lie. So the question is, “Why can’t I?”
Well, to be perfectly honest with you . . . . . . . . you can. That’s the point. And now you can lie via Facebook, Twitter, and text messaging without ever having to look the recipient in the eyes. You can lie any time you want, and to whomever you want . . . . . just like they do. And, I must say, “You will be just like them when you do.” If that’s what you want, go ahead and continue to lie as much as you’d like. And then let me know what you think of yourself. Let me know how that has impacted you in such a positive way. Let me know how it’s elevated your self-esteem, and allowed integrity to take root in your life.
If you’ve ever taken to heart the admonition to build your house on rock (rather than on sand), so that when the ground quakes and shakes your house will remain solid and intact, then you understand the principal at work in preparing wisely for the future. Or if you’ve ever considered the admonition to build your house on higher ground so that when the river rises your house will not be swept away, then you further understand the importance of planning ahead. Common sense says to not build your house on sand, or on a flood plane. It would just be stupid. Well, experience and common sense teach us that lying is the life-equivalent of building your house on shaky ground, or in a sketchy place. Building your life on lies is stupid. It will often serve you temporarily, but your ignorance and deceit will come back to haunt you, at various times, and in various ways. You can count on it. And, in fact, it hurts and offends other people too; especially those who love you. Why not avoid all that personal and collateral damage in your life? If not a question of conscience for you, it seems to me that (at the very least) it would simply be the smart thing to do: The smartest thing to do.

The Syrian Penal Code: Regressive Articles in the “Progressive” State
By Adnan Mouhiddin
On 11th June 2000, immediately after the death of Hafez Al Assad (ruler of Syria since 1970) the Syrian Parliament amended Article 83 of the Syrian Constitution of 1973. The amendment process took no more than two hours and the parliament agreed unanimously to reduce the age of the Syrian president from 40 to 34, which enabled Bashar Al Assad, the son of Hafez Al Assad to succeed his father in ruling the country. Yet when the Syrian government attempted to revoke article 548 of The Syrian Penal Code of 1949 in 2009, which had been used as a leverage to acquit males committing ‘honour killings’, the Syrian society strongly objected and consequently the government yielded to the public pressure by amending the Article in question rather than abolishing it all together. In fact, a mere survey asking in 2006 ‘Do you support making an honor crime a criminal, punishable offence?’ created an outrage in Syria (Abu Halawa 2006: 44-47) and the researchers were banned from analyzing the survey findings (Maktabi 2010: 563-64).
Article 548, however, is not a single case. Many what we may call ‘regressive’ articles are still embodied in the Syrian Penal Code and are observed in the Syrian courts. This imposes a glaring contradiction for various reasons. It is unclear how the Syrian government, which is capable of imposing any law it wants and manipulating the existing ones, and which holds itself to a progressive, secular and social agenda, is unable to change these articles or abolish them all together. Also, it is questionable how such articles exist with what the women has achieved so far in Syria. This paper will therefore attempt to find an explanation for these two points. It will give an account of the nature of the Syrian legal system and a brief historical background of how the current legal system developed. This will enable the reader to appreciate the social, cultural, political and economic background that influenced the formation of the Syrian criminal justice system in general, and the Penal Code provisions in particular. It will then proceed to describe the specific articles in question. Reading them in the light of the circumstance under which they were drafted will shed some light on the reasons that precluded the successive Syrian governments from revoking them, which then will be discussed in detail. This, however, should take into account the status of women in Syria through the lens of the society and religion since ‘she’ is the subject to the atrocities of the regressive articles.
1. The Syrian Law
While citing the Articles enable us to understand their direct application, it is worth considering the social, historical and cultural background of the time when they were drafted to understand the scope of their applicability and how they came to exist and continued to influence the sentencing sphere in the Syrian criminal justice system.
In his book The Social Reality of Crime (1970), Richard Quinney stated that crime is a social and political construct. He explained that human conduct is categorised as a crime when the social and political class, who has the authority to create laws and form public policies, prescribe it as such, especially when the given behaviour conflicts with their interests. Prima facie, the situation of the aforementioned articles in the Syrian Penal Code might defy Quinney’s thesis. This is because Syria has been led by Al-Ba’ath party since 1963, who presents itself as a socialist and progressive party with a secular agenda to dismantle and implement (Seale, 1992). However, the articles were enacted in 1949 before the Al-Ba’ath takeover of the power in 1963. Therefore, the question should be why the Syrian government did not amend or abolish them all together rather than holding it (the government) responsible for drafting them. Before we answer this question, we should review the historical background of the Syrian laws and therefore understand how they influenced the drafting and consequently their applicability.
Until its collapse in 1918, Syria was ruled for four hundred years by the Ottoman Empire whose laws and rules derived from the Sharia laws (Findley, 1991). This was followed by the French Mandate which ruled the country from 1922 to 1946, its independence year. During that time, the French Mandate tried to introduce secular personal status laws, which was faced by fierce opposition by the Syrian clerics who objected the implantation of any laws that contradicted the Sharia laws (Hourani, 1947). In 1949, the Ottoman Penal Code of 1858 (which drew from the Sharia law) was abolished and replaced by the Lebanese Penal Code which mainly drew from the French code. It was the aim of the then-president Husni Al Zaim, who seized power by toppling a democratically elected president Shukri al-Quwatli, to implement new laws that corresponded to the social, economic and intellectual developments in Syria (Diab, 2010). Many laws were promulgated during that period and the 1949 Penal Code remains one of the main legal instruments governing the Syrian Justice System until this moment (such as the Civil code of 1949 and the Code of Personal Status of 1953). The Syrian Civil Code drew from the Egyptian Civil Code (Kuwatli, 1959), which in turn drew from the French Civil Code that was applied between 1776 and 1883 and Sharia law. In fact, Article 1 of the Syrian Civil Code provides that Sharia is the source of the Code which judges should resort on first instance, followed by the customs and then by the natural law (SCC, 1949). The Egyptian Civil Code was adopted due to the social, religious and cultural similarities between the two countries (El Hakim, 1995). In other words, the Syrian legislators probably felt that what worked in Egypt could also work in Syria.
Now how modern the Penal Code is (as per the wish of President Al Zaim) is a matter of speculation. The Code incorporated various provisions that observed cultural habits which otherwise would be viewed as a crime. For instance, in a solid recognition of cultural practice known as an ‘honour killing’, Article 548 of the Syrian Penal Code states that ‘he who finds his wife or one of his ascendants, descendants or sisters committing adultery or illegitimate sexual acts with another and he killed or injured one or both of them benefits from a reduced penalty, that should not be less than 2 years in prison in case of a killing’, leaving to the judge the option to opt for reduced punishments (such as short-term imprisonment) if the killing was done with an honourable intent as set in Article 192. Moreover, Article 489(1) opens the door to marital rape by punishing the man who rapes other than his wife with 15 years of imprisonment. However, the judge shall suspend the imprisonment and exonerate the perpetrator should he agree to marry his victim.
2. The Law makers
The influence of the Sharia law in the promulgation of Syrian laws is evident for various reasons. Islam has been the dominant religion in Syria since it was conquered by the Arab armies in AD 640, which had a direct impact on the Syrian demography. In 1947, during the period in which the aforementioned laws were enacted, the Sunni Muslims composed 66% of the Syrian population which counted nearly 3 million (Hourani, 1947). As a majority, the laws reflected their beliefs and understanding as to what law is, or as Quinney observed, ‘law-making represents the translation of specific group interests into public policy’ (1970:43). Such interest was vested in the clerics who during the 1950s assumed the position of the guardians of the morals and portrayed entertainments such as radio and cinema as a form of moral corruption (Pierret, 2013). In fact, ‘traditionalists have always constituted the vast majority of the clergy’ (Pierret, 2013:102). Their influence in the public, social and political life in Syria was not limited to the period of the Ottoman Empire, but also during the French mandate whereby notable scholars and clerics cooperated with the French forces, which ensured their close observation of any attempts to alter the religiously conservative life in Syria in which Islam is the main inspiration and source of laws. Therefore, the influence of those scholars was not limited to education and endowment, but extended to political and social fields. In 1955, a group of clerics established a ‘committee of scholars to check on the Islamic character of all laws passed by the parliament (Pierret, 2013:164).
3. How did this impact women?
When referring to the status of women in Syria, one should note that Syrian women voted for the first time in 1949. A year before that, Alice Kandalaft was the first woman to represent Syria in the United Nations (Shaheen, 2016). Also of note is Nazek Al Abed, the Arab’s ‘Joan of Arc’ and the founder of the Syrian Red Crescent, which is modelled on the Red Cross. Al Abed fought in the Syrian Army as a Captain and led a brigade in the Battle of Maysaloun in July 1920. Although this caused an outrage among the conservative Syrians, she was upgraded to an Honorary General in the Syrian Army (Moubayed, 2004).
The aforementioned articles, however, should not be regarded as indicative of the status of women in Syria. Rather, the articles should be approached based on the principle of morality, since they claim to enforce what is moral. ‘Justifying punishment must give an account of why it is morally justified to subject an individual to it’ (Wilson, 2002:54). The strong presence of Islam in the public life, through the Syrian clergy, shaped the public opinion as to what is moral. As a consequence, the attitude toward women was also influenced by the views of the Sharia law and its clergy. Due to the sexual nature of the ‘honour killing’, it is worth examining briefly the Islamic and cultural view on sex. The presence of the ‘honour killing’ in the Syrian Penal Code is not a coincidence. After all, criminal law attempts to control personal behaviours that are contrary to the morals of some members of the community (Quinney, 1970:86). The influence of religious principles towards sexuality within law is not a phenomenon which is unique to Islam. Puritans Christians, who traditionally follow a sexually conservative moral code, regard themselves as ‘being an elite chosen by God to represent him on earth’ (1970:61), and furthermore believe that ‘the determination of law belongs properly to God’ (Morris, 1959:35). There has been a resulting long-standing harmony between Judeo-Christian morality and the American Constitution and laws (Barton, 2010). Quinney drew from this heritage to conclude that ‘to be moral in America is to be sexually discreet’. This kind of social control over the sexual behaviour of the society aims at protecting the family system and the ‘chastity of women before marriage’ and ‘sexual relations outside the marriage bond’ (1970:86).
Similarly, the Syrian society is solidly impacted by fundamental social and cultural concepts such as honor and shame as well as the authority of Islam. The honor of the man, in a male dominated society, is his ‘land and female siblings’ (Husseini, 2008). The views of Islam on matters such as sex, sexual discretion and sex before marriage, adultery and the relation of those aspects to women are also strongly present. As cited in the Quran, unmarried adulterers are punished with 100 lashes publicly (Quran, 24:2). However, married adulterers are punished by death by public stoning (Bukhari, 1986). To say that Islam cited honor killing as a punishment is far from right. However, the case will be made here that Islam has been instrumental in shaping the perception of women in Syria, which in turn has influenced the Syrian Penal Code.
Under certain provisions, Islam arguably legitimized marital rape. It has been narrated from the Prophet that ‘if a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relations) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning’ (Bukhari, Book 59:48). Ibn Taymiyyah (AD1263-1328), a prominent Sunni scholar, theologian and jurist (Sheikh, 2017) cited verse 34 from chapter 4 in the Quran as a response to such a scenario (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyyah, 32/279). The verse addresses Muslim men that if their wives showed ‘disloyalty and ill-conduct’, then they should admonish them, and then refuse to share their beds and then beat them’ as a last resort (Quran 4:34). The direct implication of this authority is Article 489(1) of the Penal Code. Moreover, the influence of the Quran, the highest authority in Islam, on women is evident in portraying them to be less than men (Quran, 2:228), and worth half that of men in their legal status in relation to inheritance (Quran 4:11), court testimony (Quran 2:282) and also as sexual subject (Quran, 2:223).
Such heritage, if we may call it so, is so strong that it undermines the existing laws (the aforementioned articles in our case) or the ability of the state to pass new laws (Hajjar, 2004). All the customs and ethics inherited from the Quran are forms of social control, and weaken the law (Anleu, 2010). They are probably so strong that even a totalitarian and authoritarian regime could not abolish them.
4. Progressive leap
In 1963, Al Baath Party seized power in Syria delivering a socialist, secular, religiously diverse and progressive officer to power. However, following an internal conflict in the party, Hafez Al Assad, who was the Minister of Defence, led what his regime later called the ‘Correctional Movement’ (a coup d’état) in 1970 against the comrades of yesterday. During the following three decades, he consolidated his power by allying with the Sunni commercial and religiously conservative elites in the country, and mainly in the large cities such as the capital Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Hamah where the Sunni majority were concentrated. These elites were the principal supporters of the clergy society (Van Dam, 1996, Pierret, 2013).
In its relationship with them, the regime interfered only when Islamic debates threatened its existence leading to jihadist movements. Otherwise, when debates remained related to the religious and social fields, the regime remained neutral. Where the latter case was impossible, it supported the opinion of the majority. By doing so, Pierret says that the Ba’athist regime supported such opinions so ‘they structurally reinforce state control over society’ (2013:101). Anleu called it coexisting. This cohabitation exists ‘where a dominant secular legal system is applicable to most areas of social life, while a religious law, for example the Sharia, will regulate the marriage and family status of Muslim citizens’ (Anleu, 2010:71). Mestura described this dynamic as making ‘legal exceptions by acknowledging and accepting the existence of customary laws that may have a controlling force in certain circumstances’ (1994: 474). This strategy proved to be viable during the conflict between the Syrian regime and the Muslim Brotherhood who aimed to topple the former by force during the late 70s. The movement did not receive any popular support and proved unsuccessful (Seale, 1992).
The fruits of this ‘coexistence’ could be found in the Syrian Constitution. Although the Muslim Brotherhood were present in the drafting of the 1950 constitution which stipulated that Sharia law is a source of legislation in Syria, the 1973 Constitution which was drafted under the close supervision of the progressive Ba’athist regime provided in Article 3(2) that Islamic jurisprudence is the main source of legislation. Moreover, the 1950 Constitution did not specify the religion of the head of the state, whereas the 1973 one states in Article 3(1) that the president should be Muslim. Nevertheless, under this regime Mrs. Najah Al Attar, who ironically is the sister of Issam Al-Attar, the Supreme Guide of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, assumed the position of vice president in 2006. She has also served as the Minister of Culture from 1976 to 2000 (Seale, 1992).
5. Why nothing has changed?
In 2003, Syria signed and ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. However, it expressed its reservations to articles 9 and 16 that grants women equal rights with men (CEDAW, 2007). How is it that the Syrian regime, who maintained an absolute dominion over the legislative, judicial and executive departments, could not sign and ratify this Convention with articles 9 and 16? The key answer might be that the regime yearns for stability, and lives in the shadow of fear of the various coups that took place in Syria between 1946 and 1970, so therefore fears to transgress Sharia law. The situation between the regime and the Syrian society could be portrayed in Wilson’s observation in that:
‘in some households…children are not subjected to punitive regime because the parents concerned treat bad behaviour as an inevitable by-product of conflicts of interest. Children want fun. Parents want order. Neither desire is more worthy than the other. Punishment, therefore, reduces to a method of advancing one person’s interest at the expense of another’s’ (2002:48).
Even the regime’s ability to impose those provisions that would oppose the culturally and religiously motivated laws is debatable. In his book Law and Social Change, Anleu drew from the Soviet experience to impose gender equality on the Islamic societies in Central Asia in the late 1920s. This step resulted in those laws being evaded and an increased hostility and violence on the part of Muslim men towards women. In the Syrian case, the state could not criminalise the ‘honour killing’ by showing disapproval. Rather, it must furnish ‘prudential’ reasons to the citizens not to offend (Wilson, 2002). Something it obviously failed to do when it attempted to abolish Article 548 in 2009. Despite the ultimate support which the initiative received from the Grand Mufti Ahmad Hassoun, Syria’s highest-ranking Islamic teacher, who condemned ‘honour killing’ (McClain, 2012), the Syrian society opposed the attempt fiercely because the new amendments oppose the Sharia law. Consequently, the regime restored the article with a minor amendment, in that the perpetrator should serve a minimum of two years. Besides, it is unclear how the judges, the ‘bastions of orthodoxy and moral rectitude’ (Wilson, 2002:134) would have applied the amendment while sentencing, since the latter ‘like all social actions, is a human endeavour (Quinney, 1970:186). They (judges) carry similar moral values of those within society. So when given the authority of Article 192, they will apply their own convictions, ethical and emotional values, resulting in ‘substantive irrationality’ (Anleu, 2010:24).
To blame the Ba’athist regime for all our problems is an inherited habit in Syrian society. On this instance, however, this attitude proves to be invalid. The regime, whatever its motivation might be, attempted to abolish Article 548 but failed due to the public and social opposition who hold specific conception of what constitutes an ‘honour’. It is true Islam does not endorse honour killing. Nevertheless, its views and doctrines on women have shaped the way its followers view women.
What is needed today is a clergy with the spirit of reformation; clerics like Muhammad Abduh, Jamaluddin al-Afghani and Abd al-Rahman al-Kawkibi who appeal to the layman rather than a cleric of the ruling class opposing a deep-rooted practice (honour killing). This clergy needs to demonstrate that such practice has no evidence in Islam and assist the social reformers to generate new interpretations of ‘honour’ and ‘shame’ that appeal to the layman. Until Syrian reformers (clergy and seculars) descend from their marble towers and reach out to society, the cradle of Articles 548 and 489, it is a matter of when rather than if a Syrian woman will lose her life to the regressive laws in the “progressive” state.

A question that I get asked all the time is ‘who is the best online glasses retailer?’ and I have to say that it’s a very difficult question to answer. Many satisfied customers from all over the world, are an outcome of the excellent customer service of Zappos. In what follows, you will find a useful list of online stores from where you can buy essential oils. Utilize Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software to streamline all your online business activities, provide top-quality tailored customer experiences, as well as effectively manage the retail customer relationship.
Some retailers will charge inflated shipping charges, simply because they know you will expect to pay more for international shipping. Some suppliers are also hesitant to supply to online only stores. And to serve the customers walking into these stores, there needs to be staff to deal with them.
Sales training ensures that the associate upgrades their skills in selling the required products, along with providing the best of customer service. However, I would argue that by showcasing negative reviews on the site, the retailer is actually demonstrating a position of leadership and authority that actually results in a higher trust with their customers, thereby increasing loyalty and sales.
As business owners, especially eCommerce retailers, we need to work on building intimate relationships with our customers. You may also announce some shop introductory offers to entice clientèle to check out your new clothing store. Retailers deal in all kinds of products.
Stick to the list of items you need to purchase, and prevent yourself and your money getting lost in the midst of the too-good-to-be-true deals; trust us when we say that most people end up overspending by purchasing things they didn’t really need. Internet Shopping simply refers to shopping by browsing Internet shopping websites and by ordering things online.

Whether you've just come in from a refreshing soak at Dry Town Water Park, or you've been mulling over a difficult business deal while hiking through Devil's Punchbowl, you crave guidance for how to collect and assess Palmdale insurance quotes. After all, the town is in a state of almost alarmingly rapid change. In 1990, the population was barely 12,000. Today, more than a 150,000 people call Palmdale open. This crowd is in many ways underserved. Witness the fact that no highway or California freeway currently serves Palmdale (as of May 2010).
With so much growth and change happening, you might be tempted to forget your worries by strolling on Joshua Ranch Trail. But ignoring risks won't make them go away. Understand the whys and wherefores of your Palmdale insurance options to make smarter risk calculations and protect your family and business more efficiently and effectively.
Transporting You to Palmdale Insurance Quotes for Autos and Trucks
Whether you drive State Route 138 every day to work in Inland Empire, or you cruise on the Antelope Valley Freeway, you need a solid insurance policy for your car and truck. Before we get to the nitty-gritty, consider some Southland statistics as well as applicable laws. In California, as of February 2010, drivers must carry both property damage and bodily injury liability insurance. The minimum liability limits are modest by any standard. For bodily injury per accident, you must carry $30,000. For bodily injury per person, you need $15,000 coverage. And for property damage, you only need $5,000 coverage. If you qualify as a low-income driver, according to the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan, your minimum liability risks are actually even lower ($20,000 bodily injury per accident, $10,000 bodily injury per person, and $3,000 property damage). According to 2007 numbers complied by the Nation Association of Insurance Commissioners, Southern Californians paid $800 on average for insurance -- compared to $795 for the rest of the country.
This isn't to say that Golden State driving does not come without risk. 18% of Californian drivers were uninsured in 2007, according to the Insurance Research Council, ranking California as the seventh worst state for uninsured drivers. And given the rickety state of some of Palmdale's highways -- some people have even taken to calling State Route 138 "Blood Alley" -- insurers could view Palmdale drivers as riskier clients than average Californians. Here is another wildcard for you. According to Caltrans, state workers plan to build a number of freeways, including State Route 48 to the Antelope Valley, State Route 122 to Edwards Air Force Base, and State Route 249 to La Canada Flintridge. Who knows what all this impending construction might do to insurers' risk calculations.
Better Deals on Palmdale Insurance Packages
With so many moving parts informing Palmdale insurance rates, you want specific, easy to follow, and easy to implement guidelines to qualify for lower premiums. Consider doing all or some of the following: taking a defensive drivers course, buying your auto and homeowners insurance from the same company, installing an anti-theft device, opting for a higher deductible, getting a good student discount, and avoiding accidents or tickets.
Extracting the Most Benefit - in the Least Amount of Time - From Palmdale Insurance Quotes
By this point, you are no doubt exhausted by the thought of procuring life, auto, medical, business, homeowners, and other insurance coverage for your business and family, and you just want to chill out playing a pick-up game at the Best of the West Softball Complex or lose yourself in a open air concert at the Palmdale Oasis Park Recreation Center. Before you throw your hands up in despair, look to NetQuote. We are a free, reputable service that can connect you with five or more quotes from name-brand insurance companies.

I was looking at comments on my post yesterday and Griz informed me I had rode 6900 miles so far this year, so after adding in the miles from yesterday I was at 7016 miles I thought that worthy of a little bragging. I admit some it is with beer and at 15-18 mph and some is on Bike Trials but I'm not even in the same country as perfect (doesn't the Oboma live in DC) but I still will say 7k on the bike and less than 5oo in my car. Tomorrow will be my 13th century this year I am a little disappointed I didn't get a double century in this year that ride to Lincoln NE last year was the best 14 hours I've ever spent on the road (at least that is the way I remember it).
Since my wheel on my mountain bike is still in the shop I took my Cross bike to the taco ride. This was like bring the knife to a fist fight (with Mike Tyson) Cross bikes are a little faster than 29r mountain bikes but 32c tires offer no forgiveness on the dirt those little sticks and sand and walnuts force you to slow down more than usual in corners, but it was still fun I was even able to ride hillside with my higher gear ratio.
After much thought (my head hurts now) I'm not doing quarter rage on my cross bike tonight, but I will be riding down with beer and my son (who is already dress and has his water bottle filled up and ready to go) to watch the "race". I could have made a new class the over 30 minute class.
After last nights Renegade cross I have decided I'm not racing cross this year. After the 3rd lap my back hurt so bad just the impact of dismounting was almost to much I slowed down to a medium pace and finished the 45 minutes out, this is some personal thing about finishing stuff. I stop at AK's with some of the riders for a couple beers and the O'conner blue burger (good burger) I think the final nail in this cross season for me was the 3 hours laying on an ice pack and washing asprin down with wine, so I'll be out there to watch (drink beer next too) the races this year so look for me and a beer hand up at the top of the hill.
Today I have also ordered my lighting for the touring bike. I of course got the son28 but the newest light looks to be the coolest thing since freewheels (they were cool) Busch & Müller Lumotec IQ CYO This light is brighter than the fly from last year (60 lux compared to 40) but the picture of the light output is impressive. So next year (if I ever find enough money) I'll be the blinding light on the road/trail.
Took a "medium pace ride this morning before work with some of the guys on the rassy team. I as usual brought the knife to the gun fight, however I always get a good work out with that bike. The medium pace included 32 mph bombs down hills in glen oaks country club and grand ave. On the fixie-cross thats fast but I'm getting a lot better at holding the cadence on the downhills and still having something left for the climb that always follows. I thank Lou for the push back up to the peloton after I fell off the back going down grand. Then some fun on the "dangerous" bike trails. Some kind of run this morning going downtown at least the runners don't seem to mind us blasting through at 20 mph. We also climbed the famous hill at McKrey (I'm sure thats spelled wrong) it's not as bad as I thought it would be with the way everyone talks about it. Anyday that I can get in a 30 mile ride before work is always a good day and most of my congestion and yuck from the last 3 days seems to be gone.
Yesterday marked the 12th Century for the year. Uneventful except my body didn't think I was going to make it and threw a lot of stuff at me. First my stomach hurt who new caseys pizza was bad for you. My legs started complaining too and around 70 miles or so I realized that I was riding on a new brooks seat so my butt hurt a little. 70 miles was when I grabbed a beer at the Panora store and then I felt a lot better. Century 13 next weekend at the Dr Bob ride.
Sunday 9/13/09 marks my first mountain bike race. Time trials on hillside/rollercoaster and Targetto. This may all sound like a big fish story so I'll get the fish story out of the way:
Ended at Fish camp on the river I was the 5th person to start the second time trial so I was there for a while waiting for everyone else. There was beer there as I recall. Also Swag, a "taco", and a lot of poison ivy.
Okay the fish story out of the way heres the day. 5:45 am up and ready to go quick stop at mcdonalds for some race fuel and off the the races. Got down to the trail at 6:30 and started to set up the course. We were going to run roller and hillside backwards. I haven't ever done rollercoaster backwards so I was in for a treat.
The race started at 9 each of the 48 riders left on 1 minute intervals I had signed up early so I was the 9th rider out (ouch). First lap started with some speed and I flew (by my standards) through hillside. I had spiked my heart rate to 195 on the first climb and not let it recover until I was onto rollercoaster. I made it through everything on rollercoaster except the last hill (root climb from hell) I was really close but let a rider pass me at the bottom and I think that and maybe a couple other things(being 25lbs over weight, old, single speed, fat, ex-smoker, and lazy) left me running up the hill. My first lap down 4 miles in 21 minutes I was on top of the world (possably seeing things) I planned for the first root climb on hilside that I ran up the first lap the plan was hit it fast. This climb is a 110 degree turn onto a 25% grade with sand and roots. I hit the turn at 15-16 mph and picked a bad line and planted my tire on the root at the bottom, right over the handle bars. Got up collected myself and ran up the hill. My front wheel was "taco'd" so bad it wouldn't clear the fork. I hit it a few times until it would clear and was ready to call it a day. So I rode at a medium pace for 5 minutes or so and decided that the wheel would make it and I was going to finish even if it was with the bike over my shoulder. The rest of the ride was great finished at 48.09 so my incident cost me 5 minutes. Still I was very happy with that time first mountain bike race 2nd week on the single speed and only minor injuries.
The afternoon at sycamore was also a blast I got the wheel "trued" (beaten on the ground) and was ready to race took off 5th in front of Kyle. After all the jokes ahead of time about passing I was determined to stay ahead of Kyle it's only 2.6 miles I told myself. As always confidence come before the fall I slid off the side of a rut and over the bars. This trail is a 6 inch wide peace of dirt in between 2 deep 4 wheeler ruts. The wheel is taco'd again. There were some choice words and a good wheel beating. I didn't even look at my time as I knew it would be bad. Some day I'll finish a mountain race on a working bike.
Any morning that you can wake up early get on some bike clothes and hit the dirt trails before work is a good day in the making. 2 Laps in Denmans this morning was exactly what I needed. That and 4 cups of coffee. I'll be heading down early in the morning to help set up for the time trial tomorrow should be a good time. Hopefully I won't be the slowest newbie-mountain biker but you never know.
Using Craigslist I'd like to thank the guy named craig that invented this because I love the new mountain bike and the truck was well useless. Now that I have the new bike I also am useless the new bike takes up too much time so I don't get anything done. So Obama can kiss my stimulus package!! Plus I still have $500 dollars left after the deal. Parts for the touring bike.
My son went to his first day of school today. Now my house that is normally insane is empty. This is the first time in a long time that I've been bored before work. I Still need to fix my commuter (broke a spoke) but Retro-bike is doing just fine as a commuter. I did miss my cup holder on the handle bars last night as I had to hold my beer all the way down the trail. Maybe I need to stop drinking and riding. My back is a little better today so hopefully a short road ride tomorrow night to martensdale or adel.
After 100 miles on the new single speed mountain bike (7 days) I have to say why didn't someone make me get one of these years ago? 90 miles on center trails and 10 on summerset today. Summerset is easier on the single speed.
Yesterday I set out around noon for a gravel century. I'm not calling it a gravel century though because half of it was on paved highways. I rode through Grimes, Granger, Woodward on my way to seven oaks (near Boone) It was 51 miles to the trail at seven oaks I had come to watch a couple hours of the 24 hour mountain bike race. I arrived around 4pm with a dozen beers in my trunk pack so I was set for good race watch'n. I found a good spot to watch on the top side of the camp grounds (my single speed barely made it up the long gravel climb to the camp grounds) I got to talk to several people from Iowa city that had people in the race. I still think 24 hour mountain bike race = Insaine, but that's just me so next year if I'm entering anything like this please throw beer cans at me (make sure there cold) or something. Around 8:15 I decided it was a good time to head home. I wanted to be home before midnight. I have rode in the dark alot but never 50 miles and never on gravel. The paved 10 miles from seven oaks to R ave went by fast and I hit the gravel at 18mph or so (18 is the fastest comfortable speed on my single speed cross bike) Normally I slow down and dodge rock piles and other stuff on the gravel, but since I couldn't see any of them I held this pace for a while. At Granger (half way) I turned off the gravel and took R30 (Alice's Road) me and the bike are covered in white dust. In Walkee I noticed Wendys and that look good enough. I have to say after 90 miles and nothing to eat but trail mix and nuts that was the best burger I've had in a long time. Had my last 2 beers under the overpass entering clive greenbelt trail around midnight then took 60th/EP true home for some sleep. My 3 hr night rider light ran for 4 hours on the way home and was still running when I got home.
Wednesday night is always a good time on the taco ride but yesterday took the cake. It was my first taco ride on my new single speed 29r. I was surprisingly able to keep up with everyone we went through Denmans from Rassys in under 20 minutes. After a beer I lead one group that split into Squirrels nest as we approached the train bridge I was determined to make it up the hill and over the rail onto the bridge. I did make it over the rail the 4 guys behind me got on the track and one of them yell there is a train. I look back as I'm already on the bridge about a hundred yards back is the train. So I yell go fast and we rode across. We had 50 yards of clearance when we got off the bridge but it was still cool. A couple of laps of hillside I learned that I can make it up all the hills and switch backs on hillside! A quick run (like 4 minutes) down rollercoaster and it was off for taco time. On the paved trail there were only 8 or 9 of us left in the group and we took off down the street. This is the Cops part of the ride a mini-van hit the group head on ( no injuries) however we were angry that he sped up to hit us so we had the great idea to chase him down and drag his dumbass out of his car. We did show some restraint and didn't hurt him (everyone knows if you want to hurt or kill someone you do it in a car that's the only legal way to kill people) maybe next time he'll think before doing stupid stuff in a car. I guess the lesson is don't mess with mountain bikers. The other lesson is don't bring a cross bike to the taco race someone might toss you in the river or at least next to it.
Went out for the second day in a row to center trails. I have found that even on a bad day a ride through the woods is the best cure. I got to denmans with the hopes of a couple of slower laps and going home early (first time I stuck with my plan). It wasn't really a bad day but my stomach was upset and felt kind of bla the last couple days however there was still a smile on my face the whole ride. I thought about the years I've spent in a car angry and frustrated while I waited (patiently) for 10 minutes for a train to cross next to Squirrels nest. In the car you I would have been angry impatient and irritable. On my mountain bike I just set and enjoyed the click clak of the train cars and felt the thunder in the ground as it went by I then resumed my ride. All I have to say is Thank God for the Woods.

The Declaration of Independence of the Northern Chiefs
Declaration of Independence of New Zealand (English Translation)
1) We, the hereditary chiefs and heads of the tribes of the Northern parts of New Zealand, being assembled at Waitangi, in the Bay of Islands on this 28th day of October, 1835, declare the Independence of our country, which is hereby constituted and declared to be an Independent State, under the designation of The United Tribes of New Zealand.
2) All sovereign power and authority within the territories of the United Tribes of New Zealand is hereby declared to reside entirely and exclusively in the hereditary chiefs and heads of tribes in their collective capacity, who also declare that they will not permit any legislative authority separate from themselves in their collective capacity to exist, nor any function of government to be exercised within the said territories, unless by persons appointed by them, and acting under the authority of laws regularly enacted by them in Congress assembled.
3) The hereditary chiefs and heads of tribes agree to meet in Congress at Waitangi in the autumn of each year, for the purpose of framing laws for the dispensation of justice, the preservation of peace and good order, and the regulation of trade; and they cordially invite the Southern tribes to lay aside their private animosities and to consult the safety and welfare of our common country, by joining the Confederation of the United Tribes.
4) They also agree to send a copy of this Declaration to His Majesty, the King of England, to thank him for his acknowledgement of their flag, and in return for the friendship and protection they have shown, are prepared to show, to such of his subjects as have settled in their country, or resorted to its shores for the purposes of trade, they entreat that he will continue to be the parent of their infant State, and that he will become its Protector from all attempts upon its independence.
Agreed to unanimously on this 28 day of October, 1835, in the presence of His Britannic Majesty's Resident.
(Here follow the signatures and marks of thirty-five hereditary chiefs or Heads of tribes, which form a fair representation of the tribes of New Zealand from the North Cape to the latitude of the River Thames.)
Henry Williams, Missionary CMS
George Clarke, CMS
James Clendon, Merchant
Gilbert Mair, Merchant
I certify that the above is a correct copy of the Declaration of the Chiefs, according to the translation of Missionaries who have resided ten years and upwards in the country; and it is transmitted to His Most Gracious Majesty the King of England, at the unanimous request of the Chiefs.
JAMES BUSBY, British Resident at New Zealand.

Seminar - Thursday February 27 2.30pm-3.30pm
Working with UK media to encourage informed and safe coverage of suicide and self-harm
Presenter: Lorna Fraser
Thursday 27th February 2.30pm-3.30pm - Seminar Room 515, Level 5, 207 Bouverie Street, Carlton
Lorna Fraser heads up Samaritans’ Media Advisory Service. Her team works closely with all mainstream media in the UK, providing expert advice on handling the topic of suicide and self-harm across news, documentary, film, drama, music and literature.
Samaritans’ guidance in this area is based on the global research evidence base into reporting of suicide.
The driving force for this area of the charity’s suicide prevention work is to raise awareness of the risks associated with covering the topic of suicide, to improve standards and support safe and informed coverage of this sensitive issue. This work is based on Samaritans’ Media Guidelines for Reporting Suicide.
The media has a huge opportunity to support international suicide prevention efforts - research shows that responsible coverage of suicide can raise vital awareness and encourage people to reach out for help, which can be a lifeline for many. This is the type of media coverage Samaritans encourages.
Lorna brings to this work both her long-standing media professional background, covering in-house PR and campaigning, and her clinical experience as a psychodynamic therapist.

Our friends recently cut all ties with us when we did not attend a New Testament Restoration Meeting. One of the topics was celebrating the Lord’s Supper as a full meal every Sunday. We are not convinced that the Lord’s supper must be a full meal, celebrated weekly. With the emphasis on ‘must be’. The full meal part is a concern because the preparation and menu have the potential of distracting from the remembrance of all that Jesus did for us. We are startled to think that our friendship has been destroyed over this topic. Any thoughts?
The early church basically re enacted the Last Supper each week when they met. It was a full meal that ended with communion. We know this because Paul complained to the Corinthians about the way they observed it in 1 Cor. 11:17-22. In what’s probably just one of Christianity’s latest fads, some churches are trying to restore 1st Century practices. For instance, there were no professional clergy in those days. The elders of the congregation were the teachers and were elected from among the group, not brought in from the outside. They didn’t have fancy buildings either, but met in homes and all members were considered to be ministers, first to each other and then to the community at large.
If history is any example, this move will only be implemented partially in many congregations, and may involve only the fellowship meal. I really can’t imagine that any pastor would give up his paid position to become “just” one of the elders, and most congregations are too large to meet in someone’s home.
When I was a pastor we celebrated communion every week, but only shared a fellowship meal once a quarter. The church I currently attend in Mexico serves lunch after each Sunday service but only celebrates communion once a month. In both cases the communion is separate from the meal. This gives everyone the freedom to participate and the different purposes of the two events never become confused like they did in Corinth.

It has been 24 years since St Jago last had success on the girls' side of the Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA)/GraceKennedy Boys' and Girls' Athletics Championships.
Though Head Coach Keilando Goburn and his team would love to break that lengthy drought at this year's 113th staging, the nature of their programme is such that a top five finish will have to suffice.
The five-day spectacle is scheduled for March 28 to April 1 at the National Stadium.
While he has high hopes for his young but talented group, Goburn is under no illusion that they will topple favourites Edwin Allen and Hydel High to add to the school's four titles won between 1996 and 1999.
"It is a very young team because, of course, we are in the rebuilding process so like two-thirds of the team is in the first year of their class — which is a positive because we are expecting some top performances in the years to come — but for now we are hoping to at least maintain a top four finish," Goburn told the Jamaica Observer.
Last year the Monk Street team tallied 249 points to finish third behind reigning champions Edwin Allen High and their perennial rivals Hydel High. Whether or not they will better that total is left to be seen but Goburn is certainly anticipating some improvement.
"Last year was tough for us because it was actually our first championship coming out of COVID. There were a lot of areas that we wanted to improve on [but], unfortunately, that did not happen. But track and field is a cycle and sometimes the wheel goes around and we just have to wait until it comes back around," Goburn said.
"But I am excited about this young team going forward. I am pleased with where we are and I think we are in a much better position now than we were last year," he noted.
That in and of itself is something Goburn believes is an accomplishment, considering that they had to be meticulous in how they went about their preparations at times.
"It has been tough to an extent because our field was being upgraded, which posed a challenge to the early part of the preparation at the top of the season. We had to make a lot of sacrifices and execute some cut and paste in order to achieve what we have so far," the coach admitted.
"As it stands, there is not much we can do now so, for sure, this season has been a roller coaster season for us. We have faced a lot of challenges but we are resilient and so we are going to keep on fighting.
"Like I said, this is a very talented group, irrespective of how young they are, so we are just looking forward to the championships and we are intent on giving the best account of ourselves," Goburn added.
So who are some of those St Jago athletes from whom spectators can expect explosive performances?
"I really don't like to call names because it's a team effort but we have some talented athletes and we expect an all-round effort; it's not a one-person show. And of course Champs is full of thrills and spills so a lot of the times athletes tend to crack under pressure so we just try to keep them calm and not put anybody under undue pressure," a coy Goburn ended.

if you are new to the apparel industry i think there are few things that you should know. Although you are able to print on demand, DTG is not the way to go if you are creating products for retail. Because of the printing process, if you print on dark garments the garment needs to be pre-treated. The pre-treatement solution will always stain the garment (it comes out during was), however, noone wants to receive a shirt that they ened to wash right away in order to wear it. If you are able to buy in batches of 24 to 48 pcs at least, there are screen printing companies out there that can definitely assist you witht hat. We have been in the apparel industry as a decorator and cusom manufacturer for over ten years and have a very succesfull apparel brand so i know the process from both retail and manufacturing sides. Let me know if you need any help.

WASHINGTON – A blistering new TV commercial produced by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth quotes John Kerry’s Vietnam comrades calling him a liar, questioning his honor, accusing him of misrepresenting his actions for medals and attacking his character.
The ad begins with Kerry’s vice-presidential running mate, John Edwards, speaking: “If you have any question about what John Kerry’s made of, just spend three minutes with the men who served with him. …”
“Here’s what those men think about John Kerry,” reads a message on the screen.
That quote is followed by brief testimonies of 13 men explaining they “served with John Kerry.”
Lieutenant Commander George Elliot: “John Kerry has not been honest about what happened in Vietnam.”
Ensign Al French: “He’s lying about his record.”
Lewis Letson, lieutenant commander, medical center: “I know John Kerry is lying about his first Purple Heart because I treated him for that injury.”
Gunner’s mate Van Odell: “John Kerry lied to get his Bronze Star. I know. I was there. I saw what happened.”
Lt. Jack Chenoweth: “His account of what happened and what actually happened is the difference between night and day.”
Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman: “John Kerry has not been honest.”
Cmdr. Adrian Lonsdale: “He lacks the capacity to lead.”
Lt. Larry Thurlow: “When the chips were down, you could not count on John Kerry.”
Lt. Bob Elder: “John Kerry is no war hero.”
Lt. Cmdr. Grant Hibbard: “He betrayed all his shipmates. He lied before the Senate.”
Lt. Shelton White: “John Kerry betrayed the men and women he served with in Vietnam.”
Gunner’s mate Joe Ponder: “He dishonored his country, he most certainly did.”
Lt. Bob Hildreth: “I served with John Kerry. John Kerry cannot be trusted.”
No details are available on when and where the commercial will be shown, but talk radio shows are already picking up on the audio track and cable television news shows are bound to follow. The Swift Boat Vets for Truth are also taking donations on their website to help pay for spots.
The commercial, personalizing the testimonies of so many of Kerry’s comrades and juxtaposing them with Edwards’ words has great impact. It is the second major blow to the Kerry campaign since excerpts of an upcoming book by the man who succeeded Kerry as commander of his swift boat leaked from the publisher.
The book by John O’Neill and Jerome Corsi charges two of Kerry’s Purple Hearts were for self-inflicted wounds. In “Unfit for Command,” scheduled for release Aug. 15, O’Neill, the former swift boat commander, and his co-author Corsi say two of Kerry’s three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds.
All three of Kerry’s Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization, as O’Neill has previously explained.
The book reportedly relates how Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of “heroism” by filing a false report on the incident.
During the Vietnam War, a searing image in the anti-war movement was one of American GIs torching huts with cigarette lighters. It turns out, according to “Unfit for Command,” that Kerry did just that – entering an abandoned Vietnamese village, slaughtering domestic animals and burning down their homes with his Zippo lighter.
As O’Neill has reported on Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily Radioactive in several appearances recently, it was Kerry’s reckless behavior that convinced his colleagues he had to go – becoming the only Swift Boat veteran to serve just four months.
O’Neill tells of a joke circulated among his colleagues that Kerry “left Vietnam early not because he received three Purple Hearts, but because he had recorded enough film of himself to take home for his planned political campaigns.”
The book charges “Kerry would revisit ambush locations for re-enacting combat scenes where he would portray the hero.”
Kerry ended up playing some of that film at the Democratic National Convention last week.
O’Neill, an attorney, is spokesman for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a coalition of more than 200 vets familiar with Kerry’s service who oppose his candidacy for president based on their judgment of his character. As WorldNetDaily reported, O’Neill’s organization stated last month Kerry was a “loose cannon” in Vietnam and is unfit to be commander in chief.
The group includes the entire chain of command above Kerry during his tenure in Southeast Asia, as well as enlisted men.
The group has called on Kerry to stop unauthorized use of their images in national campaign advertising.
Only two of 20 officers in one photo Kerry has used support him, they say.

A very dear friend of mine, Joe Ornstein, is a mandolinist with whom I play music from time to time. Although he has written a few songs over the years and is an inventive improviser, he would never use the word composer to describe himself. According to Joe, he is everything he has ever listened to; composers, on the other hand, are people who are everything they have listened to as well as the stuff they haven’t heard yet.
Complimentarily, a pretty well-established composer has said to me that she thinks the word composer has been greatly overused. According to her, you can’t call yourself a composer; someone else has to identify you that way first. This implies a sentiment with which I ultimately would agree: namely, that a composer is someone who writes music for other people to perform.
Sure, there have been and continue to be tons of great composer/performers out there. But if no one else ever performs your own music except for you, are you a composer? Is a singer-songwriter whose material never gets covered by anyone else a composer? And doesn’t being a composer somehow imply being able to create for a variety of forces? What about Conlon Nancarrow whose major contribution to music history is a remarkable series of short compositions all scored for player piano, an instrument that does not even require a performer? Obviously, the minute you try to make a hard and fast rule, you’re doomed.
That said, I’ve been debating the usage of the word “artist” to describe performers who are interpreting the music created by other people. To the outside world, artists are typically people who work in the visual arts who either paint or sculpt images of their own design. Yes, of course, Andy Warhol did not design the Campbell soup cans or Brillo boxes he had ubiquitously tessellated. Then again, he also frequently did not carry out the actual painting for many of these works either. But he is undisputedly still the artist of all of that work because in every case the idea to present these images in such a manner was his.
In popular parlance, the artist in music always refers to the performer. Certainly in many genres of popular music, the interpretation of the music frequently carries a more identifiable sound than the original material. The composers for much of this music are rarely household names; often hit songs are created by groups of contributors and the interpreter who brings the song to life is the auteur mostly responsible for its success. However, in the always contrarian world of composer-based “classical” music, the reverse is true. There might indeed be as many interpretations as there are performances of the Elliott Carter Sonata for Cello and Piano or even Terry Riley’s In C out there. But at the end of the day, the person whose contribution to that performance looms largest is Carter or Riley, despite the fact that neither one might be involved in that actual performance.
Mind you, this is in no way meant to disparage performers. After all, I’m married to one! And as a result I have gained a completely different musical perspective not only on my own work, but the work of tons of other composers. Yet another close friend of mine, who is also a performer, admits that an ideal performance is one that strives to conform to the conception of the composer. So, might it not be more appropriate to use the word artist for a composer rather than a performer?

Photographer, 39, accused of using his studio to lure in children as he faces sexual abuse charges spanning two decades
- Queensland photographer charged with 79 sex related offences in January
- Last month was charged with 49 other offences related to seven victims
- Earliest victim was a boy under 16 years old, who was assaulted in 1997
A Queensland photographer accused of using his studio as a front to procure his victims has been charged with sexually abusing seven more children.
The 39-year-old man was charged by child exploitation team Taskforce Argos in January 2017 with 79 sex-related offences relating to three children.
Police alleged the man solicited parents via social media to attend his Enoggera-based photography studio that specialised in 'fine art' and 'artistic dance portraits' of young children.

Last month investigators charged the man with another 49 offences relating to seven different victims over two decades.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, did not appear in person in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday and remains in custody.
It is not known if the recent allegations are connected with the man's business.
The earliest victim, a boy aged under 16, was allegedly indecently dealt with in Bundaberg on four occasions between April and December 1997.
Three other boys were also allegedly indecently dealt with on separate occasions at the photographer's Geebung home between 2010 and 2013.
The man was charged with 79 sex-related offences in January related to three children, and then another 49 offences last month relating to seven different victims (stock photo)
One of those boys, and a separate underage girl in 2006, were allegedly stupefied with alcohol in order for the man to commit an indictable offence.
Two girl victims were allegedly abused in remote areas, including a national park, as well as at the man's home.
Many of the offences against the man involve taking indecent pictures of the children and exposing them to indecent acts.
The case will return to court on September 4.

Form Lightbox Builder: As somebody very interested in marketing and user experience, I am really excited about this feature. Now, you can have your contact form open up in a lightbox instead of sending somebody to a different page or embedding it in your page. Just a call-to-action to button to capture your visitor's information. Here is how you use this feature: settings menu of Form Block > Advanced > Enable Lightbox Mode
RSS Block: I know a lot of talk has been circling around Google Reader and RSS in general, but Squarespace is simplifying it for your visitors to add your feed to their RSS newsreader. This helps create a subscription button, which you can add anywhere, and helps your visitors keep up with your latest news.
Account Switcher : If you manage or contribute to more than one Squarespace website, the navigation options between these has been improved. As Squarepsace developers who run multiple sites of our own, this is a huge win for us and I'm sure many of you. Just click on the Squarespace logo in the bottom left corner, which can be seen in your Website Manager to move from site to site.

A Dexter, MI. woman was featured last month in a conservative group’s TV ads with an emotional appeal against Gary Peters for supporting the Affordable Care Act. The cancer patient had been diagnosed with leukemia five years ago and claims that she can no longer afford her costly life-saving medications because her old healthcare plan was taken away from her. The ads, however, are misleading because the cancer patient apparently jumped the gun before fully understanding her coverage.
Julie Boonstra is a 49-year-old Michigan resident who is featured in the ads sponsored by Americans for Prosperity. The ads attack U.S. Rep. Gary Peters for supporting ObamaCare, which she claims has made it “unaffordable” for her to get her life-saving medications. She relies on oral chemotherapy for cancer treatment. “If I do not receive my medication, I will die,” she said in the TV ads.
On Monday, the cancer patient revealed which plan she chose under the new health care law. She chose the Blue Cross Premiere Gold plan, which has a lower out-of-pocket expense than the government’s maximum amount of $6,350. Comparatively, Boonstra will save $1,200 per year.
She previously told The Detroit News that she paid $1,000 per month in premiums with her old healthcare plan. The annual total of $13,200 did not include prescription drugs or co-pays, however. Under the new plan, she is expected to pay $571 per month, for an annual total of $6,852, thus creating a savings for her. Therefore, some people feel that her account of the TV ads were misleading.
When confronted with the details of how she is actually benefiting under the new plan, she could not comprehend it. “I personally do not believe it,” she said.
Her biggest issue is having to pay for costly medications to treat her leukemia, but a representative from Blue Cross Premiere claims that all of Boonstra’s prescriptions are, in fact, covered under her new healthcare plan. This again, leads people to believe the ad campaign against Peters is misleading.
If Boonstra’s name sounds familiar, it is because she also has political ties. Her ex-husband is Mark Boonstra is the former Washington County GOP Chairman who was appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder. She claims that aside from fighting to lower the cost of oral chemotherapy, she has not had any political involvement.
According to Glenn Kessler, a fact checker at The Washington Post, she appears to be more “annoyed” by having lost her old plan and having to sign up for a new one under the Affordable Care Act. He states that she jumped the gun by appearing in the TV ads and claiming the new plan is “unaffordable” when she does not have the numbers, or the understanding, to back it up.
A debate between Americans for Prosperity and Peters has ensued. Despite believing that the ads are misleading and false, Peters said, “Any charge that out campaigns tried to silence her are absolutely inaccurate.” Levi Russel, a spokesperson for Americans for Prosperity, backs up the cancer patients claims. He said that under her old plan, she was able to predict her monthly insurance costs, but that is not the case with her new healthcare plan, which could hit her with high fees right off the bat. They also responded by putting the cancer patient in more TV ads against Peters and ObamaCare.
