T.H.E Quality Control Procedures
Communication, co-ordination, and commitment are key assurance and control aspects of any quality management policy (QMP). T.H.E committed to communicating and coordinating events with the client. Working with our appropriate consultants, we will focus on the necessary tasks and allocate the appropriate time and personnel to complete each task efficiently and to a high standard.
T.H.E and its subcontractors will develop a work-plan for each task. The work-plan identifies the assignments of each task, indicates the personnel to perform the task, and includes the time frame in which the task must be performed. The work-plan can be revised as each phase of the project matures in order to verify interdisciplinary coordination as well as client/user interface(s). The work-plan will include time for monitoring budgets and schedules, and for project reviews.
T.H.E will follow certain guidelines with every project and task. The guidelines have prompts, checklists, and resources to help T.H.E improve efficiency, communication, and co-ordination, both internally and externally. There will be prompts, which will serve to document the process. The guidelines have checklists that will be used for the QMP to verify that the project requirements, as defined by the client, are being met and that the coordination efforts among T.H.E disciplines are implemented, as the project develops, not after the fact.
Project specifications will be developed early in the construction document process to allow for cost estimating, construction scheduling, and co-ordination among disciplines. T.H.E will use computer aided drawing (CAD) techniques to develop construction documents. Identical background plans (or reference files) will be used by all disciplines for consistency and co-ordination. Additional CAD standards will be used as necessary for the production of each task.
T.H.E will perform project reviews as the complexity of a specific task dictates: the project manager (or controller) will perform scope reviews, the team will perform design and technical reviews, and the team will perform co-ordination reviews. These quality management reviews will ensure that quality and co-ordination remain “built” into the project and that the design team does not rely on reviews to catch and correct “mistakes” after the fact. A continuous feedback cycle will be implemented to ensure that a high quality is built into the system by improving the process for implementation of subsequent tasks from lessons learned on previous tasks.
The following are definitions, explaining how these terms are used in this plan:
Quality Assurance: A system of procedures for planning on how to meet the requirements (prior to doing the work).
Quality Control: A system of procedures for verifying that the requirements have been met (during and after the work being done).
Communication and Coordination: Communication and coordination are two key elements in QMP. During the design process, open communication will be imperative and ongoing between T.H.E and the client/user team. The design team is committed to the client. The finished project must meet the client’s needs.
Communication will consist of input from the client through their representatives regarding the project requirements as well as the design team keeping the client informed of events that occur on each specific task.
T.H.E will develop a work-plan based on the design schedule. The work-plan, which will be revised as the project matures to verify interdisciplinary co-ordination as well as client/user interface(s), will include time for producing cost estimates, monitoring budgets and schedules, interdisciplinary co-ordination and communication meetings, and project reviews. As the hub of project organization, communication and co-ordination, the work-plan will be developed after the task is analyzed to determine:
1) What must be developed,
2) The projected project schedule and inter-dependencies,
3) Appropriate personnel,
4) Deliverables required.
The work-plan primarily will be organized by tasks that are stipulated and validated in the client’s brief for each specific task. Subsequently, the tasks will be outlined to include the following:
1) Task Description: WHAT needs to be accomplished;
2) Task Schedule: WHEN is it required;
3) Task Responsibility: WHO will execute the work; and,
4) Description of Deliverables: WHAT is the end product.
The work-plan will be created at the start of the project and will implement by the following development stages:
1) The task will be generated at project start;
2) The work-plan will be reviewed at each progress meeting and,
3) The work-plan will be revised and distributed as necessary.
This process will allow the design team to monitor WHAT has to be accomplished, WHEN it is required, WHAT will be responsible and WHAT deliverable is produced.
The purpose of the work-plan is to serve as the road map for both the design team and the client during the life of the project. It also serves as the basis for implementing quality assurance and quality control assessments of the process and deliverables. The work-plan will be customized and updated from time to time and as required to suite the specific project need.
Guidelines for practice
T.H.E will use the Guidelines for Practice. The Guidelines have “prompts”, “checklists” and “resources” to help T.H.E team improve its practice, efficiency, communication and co-ordination, both internally and externally. The prompts serve to document the process on how the design team completes its work. The Guidelines have checklists that will be used for quality assurance to verify that the project requirements are being met and that co-ordination among disciplines remains in place, as the project is developed, not after the fact.
The “prompt” serves three major purposes:
1) To document the process on how the design team should be doing its work;
2) To record the types of documents that should be placed in the project journal;
3) To list the resources available to help the design team to work in a consistent manner.
A “project journal” will result from using the Guidelines. The journal is a three-ring notebook or a series of notebooks if necessary that will be tabbed for information, which is specific to each task. The journal will be kept with the design team and will contain the information necessary to allow the team to stay informed of the project requirements. The project manager will determine the pieces of information applicable for each project. The journal is not intended to take the place of the project filing system, but it will act as a desktop resource of pertinent project information. The journal will contain a project summary sheet, which will be completed and updated, as information becomes known. Additional items of information that may be contained in the journal include the Project Directory, T.H.E. Agreement with the client, code analysis, project work-plan, construction budget and schedule, checklists, and items that should be captured for the corporate memory.
The “resources” that are referenced in the Guidelines and that will be used for the project are intended to help T.H.E improve its practice, efficiency, communication, and co-ordination, both internally and externally. The resources help standardize the way in which the design team performs its work. Certain resources will serve as both quality assurance and quality control documents. The checklists will be reviewed prior to starting a particular phase of work to ascertain the important tasks that must be performed during that phase. The checklists will then be used to plan when these tasks will be performed and by whom. The process allows the design team to do the right thing correctly and on the first time. When a certain design phase, or stage, is approaching completion, the checklist will be used by the team to verify that the appropriate tasks have been completed. The Guidelines establish a process for quality assurance by preventing errors rather than depending upon a system that detects errors.
A series of project reviews will be utilized throughout the duration of the project. The reviews monitor project compliance and provide feedback to the design team as the project progresses and not just at the completion of the project when changes are difficult or impossible.
The project will be subject to three types of reviews:
3) Regulatory I Code Conformance.
Project documentation will be reviewed at milestone points of development during the design schedule.
Review comments are marked in red with yellow used to identify that the item has been addressed.
Reviews will occur at the completion of:
2) Design Development; and,
3) Construction Documentation.
Computer Aided Drawing (CAD)
T.H.E will use CAD for documenting existing conditions, demolition documents, and construction documents. Identical background plans (or reference files) will be used by all disciplines for consistency and coordination. Additional CAD standards will be used as necessary for the production of each task.
The design team utilizes CAD capabilities not just as an efficient drafting media, but as an integral system of sharing and co-ordination project information. CAD does not guarantee coordination but encourages coordination by permitting the team to share common information.
The design team will implement a feedback cycle that will build quality into the system by improving the process for subsequent tasks from lessons learned on previous projects.
Utilizing the organization of the work-plan, regular progress meetings will monitor each project and identify which area requires improvement. The project manager (or controller) will then direct the action required making the improvement.
The implemented improvements will be incorporated into a project journal in order to benefit subsequent projects.

|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Battle of Brices Cross Roads — June 10, 1864 — The Western Campaign, 1864|
|When General Sherman advanced on Atlanta, General Forrest sought to destroy the Union supply line between Nashville and Chattanooga. He had nearly reached the Tennessee River when he had to turn back to meet a Union force marching southeast from Memphis under General Sturgis. Forrest's remarkable ability to concentrate his men quickly and strike vigorously resulted in total victory by 4,787 Confederates over 7,900 Federal troops who retreated in confusion to Memphis. Yet Forrest was diverted . . . — Map (db m8365) HM|

|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Bethany A.R.P. Church|
|Organized in 1852 by the Alabama Presbytery, Bethany Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church had a charter membership of twenty-five including four slaves. The church was used as a hospital in 1864 following the Battle of Brice's Cross Roads. The present structure, built in 1956, is located across the road from the original church. — Map (db m60738) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — A-1 — Brice's Cross Roads — June 10, 1864|
|Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest "owned" northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee in mid-1864, but that was not where the war was being won or lost. Port Hudson, Louisiana, and Vicksburg, Mississippi, had fallen in July 1863, giving the Union control of the Mississippi River. Gen. William T. Sherman was advancing steadily on Atlanta. Grant was engaging Lee at Cold Harbor and Petersburg, Virginia, in the push toward Richmond. Still, Forrest's command worried Union planners. His cavalry . . . — Map (db m62170) HM|

|Brig. Gen. Benjamin Grierson's Federal cavalry (3,300 troops) left Stubbs plantation (nine miles northwest of Brice's Cross Roads) at daybreak on June 10, 1864. By 10:00 a.m. the cavalry had reached Brice's Cross Roads and advance units had encountered "a heavy force of the enemy" along the Baldwyn Road. The cavalry was dismounted and deployed on either side of the road, in the woods at the western edge of a cleared field, one-half mile east of the Cross Roads. Col.

|By 10:00 a.m. on June 10, 1864, Col. George Waring's Federal cavalry had reached the Cross Roads. The troops deployed on either side of the Baldwyn Road, in the woods at the western edge of a cleared field, one-half mile east of the Cross Roads. Skirmishing between one of Waring's squadrons and advance Confederate squads had already taken place further east on the Baldwyn Road.

|Long before Civil War soldiers fought at this site in 1864, this land was part of the Chickasaw Nation. Tishomingo, whose name derived from the Chickasaw title tishu minko meaning "speaker for the chief" or "assistant chief" in the Chickasaw language, lived near here and was a prominent leader of the Chickasaws in this district. Tishomingo was born as early as the 1730s, probably at Chickasaw Old Town in what is now northwest Tupelo. Tishomingo was a warrior and a staunch defender of . . . — Map (db m61924) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Confederate's First Battle Line Formed Here|
|at 1:00 o'clock. General Forrest's men were all on the field ready for action. From a quarter of a mile north and extending more than a mile south across the Guntown Road the Confederates formed a pincers movement against the enemy. Confederate units engaged in this line. From the northern end of the line: Warren's and Williams' Battalions, 4th Alabama, Moreland's 7th, 3rd, 8th and 12th Kentucky, 7th Tennessee, 13th and 8th Mississippi, and Companies A and H of the 12th Kentucky. — Map (db m62106) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Confederate's Second Battle Line|
|Pushing the Union forces back, General Forrest slowly closed his pincers movement, forcing General Sturgis nearer the Crossroads. This line was anchored on the Blackland Road 400 yards northwest. The southern end across the Guntown Road. Confederate Units Forming this Line Warren's and Williams' Battalions; 4th Alabama; Moreland's 7th Kentucky; 12th Kentucky; Morton's and Rice's Batteries; 7th Tennessee; 18th Mississippi; 16th Tennessee; 15th Tennessee; 19th Tennessee; 8th Mississippi; . . . — Map (db m62110) HM|

|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Spoils of War|
|As Confederate cannon rained fire on exhausted Union troops waiting to cross Tishomingo Creek, a somewhat orderly retreat turned into a panicked rout. Soldiers swam across the creek, bypassing the clogged and bottlenecked bridge and ran into the woods. Officers lost control of their units. Just one month after the Battle of Brice's Crossroads, Union and Confederate troops faced off again at the Battle of Tupelo. Union general A. J. Smith and his troops defeated the Confederates on July 14, but . . . — Map (db m61930) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Tishomingo Creek Bridge|
|The Federal retreat at the Battle of Brice's Crossroads was funneled onto a small bridge across Tishomingo Creek. The structure was too narrow for Sturgis' Expeditionary Force, and the span quickly became a bottleneck as horses, wagons, cannon, and men all raced to cross the creek at the same time. The rains of the previous several days had raised the water level of the deeply banked creek, making it very difficult to cross without using the bridge. Panicked soldiers and horses in full retreat . . . — Map (db m61927) HM|

|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Twentymile Bottom|
|Twentymile Bottom, now cultivated, was typical of the many low areas along streams through which the Natchez Trace passed.
In 1812 Reverend John Johnson stopped at Old Factors Stand, near this bottom, and wrote this account of bottomland travel:
“I have this day swam my horse 5 times, bridged one creek, forded several others, besides the swamp we had to wade through. At night we had a shower of rain – took up my usual lodging on the ground in company with several Indians”. — Map (db m84764) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Baldwyn — Union Wagon Train|
|A critical factor in the Union defeat at Brice's Crossroads was the decision by an unknown officer to bring most if not all of the Union supply train across the Tishomingo Creek Bridge and into the field across the road from where you now stand. When the time came for retreat, the slow-moving wagons clogged the narrow bridge, creating a panic among exhausted Union troops who were desperate to get away from the enemy fire. The supply train consisted of 250 wagons, each pulled by a team of four . . . — Map (db m62176) HM|

An easy 15-minute walk takes you along a sunken portion of the Old Trace and through a small wooded area named Dogwood Valley. — Map (db m84765) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Saltillo — Old Trace — National Park Service — Natchez Trace Parkway|
|Much of the Old Trace had been abandoned by the start of the civil war. However, the war did leave its mark on the Trace as it did upon the rest of the South, as soldiers marched, camped and fought along portions of this historic old road.
A 5 minute walk on the Old Trace here takes you to the gravesites of 13 unknown Confederate soldiers, a mute reminder of bygone days and of the great struggle out of which developed a stronger nation. — Map (db m61803) HM|
|Mississippi (Lee County), Saltillo — Thirteen Unknown Confederates|
|Were they some of Shiloh’s wounded who retreated here in 1862 to die beside the Natchez Trace? Did they serve under the daring General Nathan Forest who passed this way in 1864? Or were they guarding the Tupelo headquarters of J.B. Hood’s Army of Tennessee near the end of the Civil War? We may never know.

The Golden Globes were this past Sunday night, and it looks like one for the record books. The ceremony was one of the most political in its history, with male and female attendees wearing all black to send the message that sexual assault and harassment in the workplace is unacceptable. And while the speeches and dress code were inherently serious, the Golden Globes are typically just a big party. Stars of both TV and film assemble and drink their faces off, and there's usually one or two embarrassing moments that makes national news. And for This is Us star Milo Ventimiglia, this came in the form of falling into a pool at the after party.
Milo Ventimiglia's aquatic tumble first made waves via social media. One TV critic who was at the Golden Globes after party caught the moment itself, although he wasn't able to snap a photo or video of the Gilmore Girls alum accidentally getting in the pool. Instead, he posted the after effects via his Twitter. Check it out.
It looks like Milo Ventimiglia made a pretty excusable mistake, especially after a drink or two was consumed. The after party for the Golden Globes was apparently set over a pool, which was covered for the occasion. Just a few feet of pool were left exposed, which is apparently how Ventimiglia managed to fall in. He was likely just walking backwards or didn't realize the stage would cut off, and therefore dove in with his black tuxedo.
Milo Ventimiglia actually ended up confirming the incident himself, via his personal Instagram. Following the Golden Globes (and his swim in the pool), Ventimiglia did an Instagram live video with his 856K followers. It's here where, after congratulating his co-star Sterling K. Brown on winning Best Actor In A TV Series, he briefly mentioned falling into the pool at the after party. He said, (via EW):
One thing you can say about Jack Pearson: he's honest. While some actors may have pretended that they didn't publicly embarrassed themselves in a room full of their peers, Milo Ventimiglia got in front of the story (kind of). He admitted that he did indeed fall into the pool, and then returned home to study lines for This is Us Season 2.
What's perhaps the most puzzling about this story is hot Milo Ventimiglia managed to fit into the small opening of said pool. The former Heroes actor has become an absolute behemoth in the past few years, and is always looking extremely swoll during This is Us. So the idea that he somehow fit his body into the small opening of the pool makes it doubly hilarious. What are the odds?
You can catch Milo Ventimiglia in new episodes of This is Us Tuesdays on NBC. Or at your local swimming pool.

Ramaphosa and Mkhwebane lock horns over R500K Bosasa donation
Johannesburg - Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba has been asked to crack the whip if President Cyril Ramaphosa and Public Protector Busi Mkhwebane fail to file their papers on time in the President’s review application over the Bosasa report.
This was a request to Ledwaba by Judge Peter Mabuse on Monday, after the President successfully filed an urgent application to interdict the public protector from implementing her remedial action.
The remedial action in question involves a R500000 donation Ramaphosa is said to have received from Bosasa chief executive Gavin Watson for his ANC presidential campaign in October 2017.
The order by Mabuse further stated that the legal counsel, for both parties, had to first agree on the dates to file the records and further papers for the review application.
Constitutional law expert advocate Paul Hoffman SC weighed in on the ruling, saying the review application would compel Mkhwebane to make available the records and documents she used to prepare her report.
Hoffman further said he anticipated clashes between the parties before the matter can be fully heard in court.
“They are likely to fight over which documents should be made public and those that should be kept secret. The court will be asked to rule on whether the public protector got it right or whether her remedial actions were rational,” Hoffman said.
But political analyst Aubrey Matshiqi held a different view.
“It is my view, if the president’s review application succeeds, it will not assist him at all as he is already suffering political damage due to the email leaks,” Matshiqi said.
His sentiments were also echoed by another analyst, Xolani Dube.
“In the public and political domain, the interdict has no relevance. The real issue is between Ramaphosa and the ANC, as well as him and the South African public.”
The donation by Watson became a subject of Mkhwebane’s investigations following complaints lodged by DA leader Mmusi Maimane in November last year, and EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu in January this year.
At the time, Maimane had also asked Mkhwebane to probe the possibility of money laundering on the part of the president.
In her report, released last month, Mkhwebane said she found Ramaphosa had misled Parliament in his reply, in November last year, to a question by Maimane and, in her proposed remedial actions, ordered that National Assembly speaker Thandi Modise refer her findings to Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests, and to demand publication of all donations received by Ramaphosa.
She also asked the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) advocate Shamila Batohi to investigate prima facie evidence of money laundering, while National Police Commissioner Kehla Sitole was asked to investigate criminal conduct against Watson.
On Monday Mkhwebane’s legal counsel Theo Seanego and Ramaphosa’s lawyer Ndumiso Luthuli presented a draft order to Judge Mabuse, which put the entire report on ice. Mkhwebane’s spokesperson Oupa Segalwe said the parties had not yet agreed on the date to file papers but said Mkhwebane would oppose the review application.

District Football Champs: First Time in LSN History
Story by Kaia Monaco – Assistant Editor
For the first time in Lee’s Summit North history, the football team has become the district champions after beating Joplin High School 21-0.
“I am excited for the staff and players. It is a huge accomplishment for the team, and I am glad all of their hard work has paid off,” Mike McGurk, activities and athletics director, said.
The team played all of the postseason games at home, allowing students to cheer on the team from their own stadium.
“ [The] attendance was good and the student section brought a lot of energy,” McGurk said.
From here, the Broncos will go to St. Louis to compete in the MSHSAA semi-finals against Christian Brothers College High School. The game is Friday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.

Nationwide: Property market still buoyant across Britain
According to the Nationwide the property market across Britain remains buoyant and showed no signs of cooling down in February. Prices are 9.4% higher on average across Britain than a year ago with many analysts believing that prices have a way to go if the Help To Buy Scheme is left in place. Some commentators believe that the government should reduce the upper limit on house purchases under the scheme. Currently the scheme allows buyers to purchase a property up to £600k but many experts feel that this has caused priced to rise to unsustainable levels and that the maximum purchase price should be set and £300k – £400k. Of course there are many others that want it to remain at £600k because £400k will not buy you very much in London.
House prices across Britain have risen for the last 14 consecutive months according to Nationwide with the average price of a home now standing at £177,000. This is the highest level since April 2008 and is likely to roll through the pre-crisis levels soon. Price growth is being supported by many factors but mortgages at very affordable levels along with the growing economy and the Help To Buy Schemes have helped. Prices are also being driven up by the lack of available property to buy and this is likely to continue in the short term. Some have accused the government of stoking up the property market without providing new homes for people to buy

Early Cancer Detection Using Cell-Free DNA Biomarkers
According to the World Health Organization, cancer was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2020 1. With millions of individuals dying from breast, lung, colorectal and other forms of cancers daily, researchers have dug deep into the world of circulating tumour DNA (ct-DNA) to learn more about early disease diagnosis and treatment. Although cancer remains mostly incurable, it can be treated, and when caught early, chances of survival dramatically increase. In this blog, we’ll cover what ct-DNA is and how it could be a game-changer for cancer diagnosis, surveillance, and treatment.
The ct-DNA Advantage
Over the past century, tumour detection and early cancer diagnosis have been done through imaging of a body part or by taking a tissue biopsy and examining it for histological signatures of tumours 2. These limited and invasive methods rely on the presence of clinically detectable tumours and are surgically accessible for biopsy collection. Fortunately, researchers can now overcome these limitations due to the discovery of ct-DNA in bodily fluids. ct-DNA, which is a type of cell free-DNA, is shed by tumours through apoptosis, necrosis, or active transport in vesicles2.
The use of ct-DNA as a primary method of tumour detection and diagnosis offers a variety of advantages:
Early detection of tumours that are as small as 11 mm in diameter (3).
Opportunity for early cancer detection and therefore earlier treatment.
Cancer detection sensitivity from 50-70% (3).
Relies on noninvasive, easily harvested, repeatable biopsies of bodily fluids (2).
Allows for the determination of the temporal genetic change and heterogeneity of the tumour (4).
Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
To better understand these advantages, we will take the fictional example of Dr. Sakari and her patients, Sophia and Étienne. The advantages of ct-DNA led Dr. Sakari from Iqaluit, Nunavut, to use liquid biopsies for two patients that were referred to her clinic for cancer diagnosis and therapy. The first patient, Sophia, was concerned about having breast cancer. The second patient, Étienne, had recently been diagnosed with stage III pancreatic cancer. Dr. Sakari had to determine the type of liquid biopsies to use in the diagnosis and treatment of their cancers.
MAFs & the Two Ss of Cancer Diagnosis
The type of liquid biopsy needed to diagnose and treat cancer depends on the known or suspected location of the tumour; the closer proximity of the liquid biopsy to the tumour, the higher likelihood of isolating ct-DNA from that tumour 5. Dr. Sakari asked Étienne for a urine sample because of the close proximity of the pancreas to the urethra. As for Sophia, a breast milk sample would have been preferred, but because she is not lactating, a blood sample was collected instead. After obtaining liquid biopsies from her patients, Dr. Sakari sent the samples for cf-DNA isolation, quantification, and next-generation sequencing of ct-DNA. Based on the sequencing information, Dr. Sakari estimates the mutant allele fraction (MAF) in each patient’s biopsy. MAF is the fraction of mutant alleles to the wild-type alleles found in the biopsy 6 which can be used in two different ways for staging cancer:
Since tumour formation occurs through increased uncontrolled cell proliferation, each round of cell replication introduces more mutations into the tumour, which appear in the ct-DNA. This means that a small tumour composed of only a few cells contains a small number of mutations, while a large tumour contains a large number of mutations. Therefore, the amount of total mutant alleles to total wild-type alleles should be lower in ct-DNA samples taken from a small tumour than a large one. It has been shown that MAF can be used to detect tumours that are as small as 11 mm in diameter 3.
MAF of Driver Genes
Another use of MAFs for tumour detection is coupled with the use of driver genes, which are used as cancer biomarkers. Driver genes include oncogenes as well as tumour-suppressor genes 7 and play important roles in cancer formation. The utility of a specific driver gene depends on two crucial variables, being sensitivity and specificity (the two ‘Ss’ of cancer diagnosis). Sensitivity is the percentage of correctly identified patients with cancer (true positive rate), while specificity is the proportion of correctly identified patients without cancer (false positive rate) 5. The perfect biomarker would have 100% specificity and sensitivity, but unfortunately, this does not exist. A useful biomarker can correctly assign a state of presence or absence of cancer in a person’s body more accurately than random assignment.
Dr. Sakari sent Sophia’s blood sample to a lab to conduct a variety of assays on it. The lab technicians separated the plasma from the blood and quantified the amount of cf-DNA in it. The quantification was done using RT-PCR and found that she has 17 ng per ml in her plasma which is 10 times higher than the average 7 ng per ml in a healthy person’s plasma 8. Afterwards, the lab technicians used droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) to quantify the mutant allele for the MAF ratio and examine any mutations in breast cancer driver genes. ddPCR is a type of PCR reaction that is able to detect and quantify mutations in DNA samples. After ddPCR, next-generation sequencing was performed to determine the exact mutations in Sophia’s cf-DNA. The lab results showed that Sophia’s plasma had a higher MAF than what is typically found in healthy individuals. They also found that a tumorigenic mutation in the Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate 3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Alpha (PIK3CA) gene is present which codes for PIK protein that regulates cell proliferation. PIK3CA mutations lead to the increase of cell proliferation and tumour formation 9 and have been shown to be a biomarker for breast cancer with a 93% sensitivity and 100% specificity 10.
With this information, Dr. Sakari concluded that Sophia’s suspicion about having breast cancer was correct and planned an imaging and tissue biopsy session with Sophia to confirm the presence of cancer.
Étienne’s Cancer Therapy
Étienne has already been diagnosed with stage III pancreatic cancer. Dr. Sakari wanted to determine the location of the cancer mutations in Étienne’s tumour and check if the tumour would be responsive to therapy. She requested a urine sample from Étienne and sent it to the lab to analyze the ct-DNA in it. The lab technicians isolated the DNA from the sample and used ddPCR to determine the number of mutated alleles of the gene Kirsten RA Sarcoma (KRAS) 11. KRAS is an oncogene that controls the activation of cellular growth factors and consequently, cell proliferation. The lab technicians found that three different mutated alleles have a high frequency in Étienne’s urine sample. When the lab sent these results to Dr. Sakari, she started Étienne on a course of medication to treat his cancer. She requested new urine samples every 14 days to track the effects of Étienne’s therapy. The continual sampling of urine provides a way for Dr. Sakari to determine if Étienne’s tumour is regressing. Indeed, she found that the frequency of KRAS mutant alleles decreased after a year of medication, meaning that Étienne’s cancer is in remission.
ct-DNA is a type of cf-DNA that has become an invaluable tool for cancer diagnosis and therapy. The use of ct-DNA for cancer diagnosis has a variety of advantages over traditional methods, which stem from its ease of collection and recollection and the content of the ct-DNA. ct-DNA houses mutant alleles, whose quantity and sequence can be used to diagnose cancer (as in the case of Sophia) and tracking the effectiveness of cancer treatment (as in the case of Étienne).

MOBILE, Alabama -- First came a rapid fire of lightning, then the darkness.
Patty Dunklin, an assistant manager at Family Dollar on Theodore Dawes Road, said the weather outside her store quickly deteriorated around 9 a.m.
The sky grew black, she said, and the winds roared, pulling shopping cars "a hundred miles an hour" across the strip mall's parking lot.
Dunklin said she and another assistant manager knew what was coming.
"We knelt down in the middle of the floor and started praying," Dunklin said.
The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF-2 tornado touched down near Theodore Dawes and Old Pascagoula roads. The storm flipped and spun cars, downed power lines and ripped the awning and roof off a BP gas station.
A tornado in Silverhill destroyed 6 homes and turned over a pickup.
An 18-wheeler beer delivery truck was turned onto its side just outside the gas station store.
Three people inside the gas station were injured with cuts and bruises, according to Mobile police. Two went to a hospital and were later released.
One pickup truck was on its side in the parking lot outside the Food World grocery store. Chunks of walls, wires and metal were scattered across the ground, coating the roads, grass and the parking lots.
Dunklin's Corvette in the parking lot was spun around and the frame crushed, which means she won't be able to repair it, she said.
"We're alive," she said. "Those can be replaced."
A spokesman with Alabama Power said just after the storms, about 17,000 customers were without power in the area.
Early this afternoon, about 4,600 customers -- including about 1,080 in the area of the tornado -- were still without power.
The spokesman said that all customers should have their power restored by midnight.

Published May 16, 2014It'll be a few more days before we get to fully grasp the Roots' upcoming 11th studio effort, …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, but the long-running rap team are giving us an idea of what to expect via a new animated video for the gospel organ-heavy single "Understand."
None of the band make an appearance in the video, instead putting the focus on a phantom-powered organ rippling out the soul-stirring hook sans-hands. Helping sing the song is a constantly morphing head on a spit, while the star of the clip may well be a folded-up Benjamin Franklin figure trying to evade the cops.
All of this takes place as Black Thought storytelling delivers lines about Madame Tussauds wax museum, covertly hiding funds in a box, and being tossed in a police cruiser for running that drug game.
As previously reported, …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin arrives May 20.

It’s the heat I tell you, the damn heat… We’re off to sunny Spain tomorrow and this is the first time I can remember not worrying about whether my fellow passengers can take the sight of my pale as custard bingo wings or corned beef-coloured thighs. My shoulders and legs are already respectably tanned, thanks to the British heatwave and I’m too hot to even think about donning a face-saving cardi or jeans even if they weren’t. We’re going self-catering this year – another first – and I’m seriously considering packing tea bags, which I think means I have officially turned into my dad. He once packed a frozen chicken tikka masala and pilau rice from the Bombay Restaurant in Beccles into his suitcase and delivered it to my pregnant sister in Canada who was craving home cooking. God knows how many food, customs and security rules he flouted on that flight to Vancouver, but as takeaways go, it was quite something. It went down a storm – he was lucky she didn’t send him back for the sag aloo.
No such nonsense on our holiday this year. Ella is going to be in charge of the Spanish kitchen –hurrah – and she’s already started planning shopping lists and menus – words that rarely go together in our house, like “turn off that hoover” and “who ate all the salad?”
I can’t wait to go, but I have so many last-minute jobs to do that I think I’ve run out of minutes to do them all in. Sitting here with the washing machine on a 24-hour loop and enough paperwork to keep a hoarder happy for a month, it feels as if we’ll never be ready. I’ve still got to book the cab, sort the travel insurance and work out how to log in to my new internationally flexible travel money card that I got from the Post Office. The beauty of it is – I’m told – that once I’ve figured out how to feed it cash, I will be able to pay for things by card in Spain without incurring expensive currency conversion charges.
I’ll let you know how I get on – but first I have to “activate” it online. It’s sitting there looking at me now with its shiny sunshine orange face. Let’s see what colour it is after two weeks on the Costa del Sol. I’m taking bets on Brit red.

It is the ’10s and there is time for PAX
It’s the weekend! Not just any weekend in fact, but a PAX weekend, as a many a gaming enthusiast descend upon Seattle’s Washington State Convention Center to get their sweaty paws on a bunch of the gaming industry’s latest and greatest. including the recently announced Binding of Isaac: Repentance. Exciting enough event to warrant an obscurely-referenced sub-header, at any rate.
Speaking of Isaac, incidentally, I haven’t been playing too much this week, but I have been throwing fists in Nicalis’ crossover fighter Blade Strangers. It’s been an interesting experience, but that’s a story for another day. I also may spend some time this weekend stepping into the ring with some of SNK’s finest ladies. Indeed.
What have all y’all been up to this week, gaming-wise? Still pushing on with that RPG? Perhaps you’ve been battling online in fighters or shooters, or maybe you will be traveling to Seattle this weekend to check out the PAX 2018 festivities for yourself. Whatever games are awaiting your attention, be sure to let us know below!
Have a wonderful weekend, from all of us at Destructoid.

Directed Trusts, only available in a handful of states across the country including South Dakota, are drastically changing the trust world while putting control back into the hands of settlors, beneficiaries, and their advisors. Below is an excellent piece appearing in Trust and Estates magazine discussing the concept of a Directed Trust and its huge impact on the fiduciary industry across the country.
Joseph F. McDonald, III
Trusts & Estates
Offering unbundled services provides great flexibility and lower fees for families and their advisors.
Much has been written about modern “multi-participant trust” governance structures (sometimes called “open-architecture trust designs”) and evolving principles of state trust law related to “directed trusts.” The directed trust model threatens to undermine the market share and pricing power of traditional bundled trustee service firms.
The emergence in several progressive trust jurisdictions of upstart nondepository public directed trust companies (DTCs) is a disruptive force to be reckoned with. Those trust service providers who recognize and are willing to exploit these opportunities can offer the unbundled services, a la carte pricing and inexpensive access to the progressive states’ trust laws that are increasingly coveted in the growing national trust marketplace. Traditional providers of bundled trustee services with unwieldy cost structures and embedded cultures will be challenged to adjust their business models to compete in this new environment. Here are some observations on the opportunities and perils that the DTC model presents to professional fiduciaries, consumers of trust services and their estate-planning advisors.
Defining “Directed Trust”
A traditional bundled professional trustee performs all fiduciary functions for the trusts under its management. These include exercising the important labor-intensive and liability-sensitive discretionary investment management and distribution responsibilities, performing all ministerial administrative responsibilities necessary to implement those exercises of discretion, preparing fiduciary accountings and trust tax returns and otherwise administering its trusts in accordance with the governing instruments and applicable state trust law.
Traditional Bank Trust Departments
A large bank trust department designed to deliver bundled trust services requires elaborately structured risk management policies and procedures to allow the bank’s personnel to perform the multiple fiduciary responsibilities inherent in the role and limit the bank’s exposure for claims of breach of fiduciary duty. The directors, officers and support personnel are compensated commensurate with their experience, expertise and level of responsibility. The department’s policy manual describes the roles and responsibilities of various committees of directors and officers, including a trust committee, investment committee, special asset committee, discretionary action committee, audit committee and various subcommittees. Day-to-day trust portfolio management is typically handled by highly compensated investment officers, some of whom possess the certified financial analyst credential. Distributions and operations are the responsibility of trust operations officers, trust administration officers and, in many cases, client-facing relationship managers and marketing officers.
The classic regulated corporate trustee collects from each of its trusts annual fees of between 50 and 120 basis points, depending on the value of the trust’s principal. These fees have historically been adequate to cover the trust department’s extensive overhead and provide a comfortable and relatively stable profit margin to supplement the bank’s more cyclical net interest and other operating income from its commercial and retail banking operations. Before directed trusts became popular, the high costs of operating in a regulated industry with significant barriers to entry for alternative business models gave the incumbent bundled service providers significant pricing power and created an almost infinitely elastic demand for their services.
Unlike this comprehensive trust service model, a directed trust arrangement involves a co-trustee or a non-trustee fiduciary, typically a “trust protector” or “trust advisor,” empowered to direct the trustee holding legal title to the trust assets to execute the empowered party’s directions concerning the critical discretionary investment or trust distribution powers, or both. The independent DTC is relegated to implementing those directions and often performing other administrative functions such as recordkeeping, maintaining principal and income accounts and preparing and filing trust tax returns. This is why DTCs functioning in a completely directed trustee capacity are often referred to as “administrative trustees.”
DTCs can operate lean and mean in inexpensive, highly utilitarian, Class B office space, with more manageable risk management policies and procedures, less high-priced management personnel, no investment professionals and an appropriate number of administrative personnel to handle their accounts. As nondepository institutions typically operating under hospitable state regulatory regimes, they can benefit from lower capitalization and bonding requirements and less onerous supervision, reducing operating overhead. DTCs generally charge a relatively modest annual fee for services commensurate with the DTC’s correspondingly lower levels of risk, responsibility and overhead. This allows any other co-fiduciaries handling more labor-intensive, higher risk investment and distribution functions to profitably charge a reasonable fee for their services. Thus, the total fees paid to the DTC and the other compensated participants can be comparable (in some cases lower) to the single annual fee paid to a traditional bundled provider.
Several demographic, industry and legal trends have coalesced to drive the increasing demand for directed trusts and the DTCs that serve them.
Unlike in previous generations, when wealthy families were generally more conservative investors and looked to the institutional stability of banks as their trustee and investment advisor/manager of choice, today’s affluent prefer a specialized approach that gives them the flexibility to choose their own investment professionals. They increasingly reject the notion that a jack-of-all-trades can be a master of any. That’s particularly the case in the modern world of complex dynasty trust administration involving layers of discretionary distribution powers and wide-open trust investment standards. The new directed trust structures offer the promise of the best of both worlds. On one hand, the settlor and trust beneficiaries have the comfort and stability of a local, state-regulated and adequately capitalized financial institution to serve as administrative trustee, hold legal title to the trust assets and charge a reasonable fee for those services. On the other hand, in a prudent investor environment, they avail themselves of the broader benefits of being able to choose from a wide-open universe of non-trustee distribution directors and investment specialists with extensive research capabilities, contrasting investment styles and access to alternative investment classes. These governance structures can also accommodate those families looking to play a direct role in investment management and distribution decision making through committees that can empower settlors and beneficiaries to control or influence all but “tax sensitive” discretionary powers.
Six Progressive States
The evolution of the legal and regulatory environments in all but a handful of progressive trust states hasn’t, however, kept pace with the increasing demand for these open-architecture governance structures. The few states that have taken up the directed trust gauntlet have recognized that creating a hospitable legal, regulatory and tax environment will foster the development of a thriving trust services industry within their borders and provide all of the incidental economic development benefits of white collar jobs, tax revenues and ancillary service providers. The progressive trust states that are on this short list are: Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota and Wyoming. Each of the six has, to one degree or another, built sufficient legal infrastructure in the three critical areas necessary to sustain a competitive local directed trust industry.
These progressive states recognize that the popularity of long-term (even perpetual) trusts as wealth management, asset protection and wealth transfer tax avoidance structures, combined with tremendous concentrations of fungible financial wealth, liberal choice and conflict-of-law principles, as well as the relaxation of interstate banking restrictions, have created a national marketplace for directed trust services. A family living in a regressive trust state needn’t move to a progressive state to secure the benefits of a directed trust established and administered in that jurisdiction. They need only enter into a trust agreement with a DTC domiciled in a preferred state that will own and administer the trust’s intangible personal property.
Directed Trustee Statues
Each of the progressive states has codified directed trust principles that meet three critical requirements. First, they specifically recognize the classes of non-trustee participants that can perform trustee functions. Most of the six progressive states’ statutes identify “trust advisors” and “trust protectors” to serve in these roles: Although it’s not necessary, some jurisdictions helpfully provide an exclusive or a non-exclusive listing of the powers and responsibilities that each of them may assume. Second, these statutes provide as a default rule that each empowered party, whether a trustee or non-trustee, performing a trust function will do so in a fiduciary capacity with direct accountability to the trust beneficiaries and submission to the jurisdiction of the preferred state’s local courts. Finally, each of the six states’ laws protects a disempowered directed fiduciary from liability for following the directions of the empowered party, except to the extent that the directed fiduciary, negligently or in bad faith, fails to execute the directions. Most of them satisfy this third and most critical requirement by defining a directed trustee as an “excluded fiduciary” with no duties to: (1) question whether the empowered party is acting within the scope of that party’s authority, (2) intervene to prevent or redress a breach, or (3) warn the beneficiaries that any given direction exceeds the empowered party’s authority or otherwise constitutes a breach.
Being governed by a clear and comprehensive directed trust statute will enable a DTC domiciled in a progressive trust state to price the administrative services it provides without a fiduciary surcharge premium or to cover the costs of exercising due diligence responsibilities on the empowered party’s directions that would be appropriate in the absence of the “excluded fiduciary” exoneration provision. Moreover, it will send a clear signal to any court, in surcharge litigation initiated against the DTC, that the state’s legislature has declared as a matter of public policy that the DTC will be liable only for bad faith or negligent execution. No such assurances can be given to a DTC operating in a state with no directed trust legislation or a statute that doesn’t satisfy each of the three critical elements described above.
For example, the directed trust statute in a state adopting the Model Uniform Trust Code (UTC) won’t protect a DTC operating in that state from liability for executing directions if the DTC’s administrative personnel knew that doing so would constitute a “material breach” of the empowered party’s fiduciary duties or would be “manifestly contrary to the terms of the trust,” These vague standards leave the door open wide for a disgruntled beneficiary or a results-oriented court to mine the deep pockets of the DTC if, for example, it implements a direction that results in loss or damage to the trust principal. A DTC operating in a state without bulletproof directed trust laws would face diminished prospects for a successful appeal of a surcharge order based on the deferential standard of appellate review for questions of fact and mixed questions of law and fact. Even some non-UTC states with statutes that attempt to go beyond the UTC protections could leave a DTC vulnerable: Reaching that result would have been difficult for any court applying the statute of a progressive trust state that clearly negates any such duty to warn on the part of a directed trustee.
Trust Modification Opportunities
Each of the six preferred trust states offer liberal opportunities for non-resident situs seekers to “retrofit” their existing irrevocable trusts’ governance structures from the bundled trusts to the directed trust format and change their principal place of administration from a regressive trust state by facilitating the appointment of a directed trustee in the preferred jurisdiction. These opportunities include (without limitation) decanting, accessible trust modification standards (particularly related to administrative provisions), nonjudicial settlement agreements and virtual representation.
Lighter Touch Level of Oversight
All of the progressive states also have enacted special banking act provisions for the chartering and supervision of public nondepository public DTCs or limited purpose trust companies that can’t accept deposits or make loans. These relaxed requirements recognize that a lighter touch regulatory regime is appropriate, given the diminished risk of public harm and receivership costs in the event of the failure or misconduct of a nondepository institution, when compared to the trust department of a traditional state or federally regulated institution that also takes deposits and makes loans. The relaxed requirements are generally reflected in lower initial capital requirements, lesser fidelity and liquidation insurance and bonding requirements, more liberal options for investing statutory capital, less frequent examinations and relaxed (or no) requirements for resident directors and bricks and mortar in the chartering state or some combination of those attributes.
Among the six states, Delaware’s regulatory regime is regarded as cutting the least slack for their limited purpose trust companies and South Dakota is regarded as having the most accessible and least costly chartering and supervision requirements.
Implicit in each of the progressive state’s trust and banking codes is the legislature’s policy value judgment about how hospitable it wishes to be as a domicile of choice for nondepository DTCs and trusts that might migrate from other states. Some of these six states have erected higher regulatory barriers to entry and operation for DTCs than others. They’ve done so presumably because they wish to keep out nefarious, undercapitalized providers without solid backing or well considered business plans and discourage “rent-a-charter” interlopers who plan to conduct all or a majority of their business outside the state.
In reviewing a DTC’s charter application and examining existing DTCs, each state’s bank commissioner will take his cues from the tenor of that state’s banking code’s chartering and supervision requirements applicable to DTCs. The regulator has a mandate to be conscientious in his review of a bank or trust company candidate’s charter application and the banking department’s examination and enforcement activities to guard against consumer harm, maintain the integrity of the state’s banking and trust industry and preserve the regulator’s limited resources available to cover the costs of receivership and liquidation. A banking commission operating under a special light touch statutory regime applicable to DTCs must balance that prophylactic purpose with the legislature’s mandate that the regulator not be so heavy handed as to discourage responsible charter applicant s and impose unmanageable regulatory burdens and compliance costs on any given DTC with a sustainable business plan and operating in a responsible fashion. To do so would prevent the progressive state’s directed trust providers from charging competitive fees and attracting sufficient business to compete on a national scale, thereby frustrating the policy goal of the progressive state’s trust and banking law reforms.
Some banking departments in the preferred trust jurisdiction s have done a better job than others in striking a reasonable balance among these competing considerations. All of them, however, remain competitive relative to the more regressive trust law jurisdictions that have one-size-fits-all , full-bore regulatory regimes applicable to both depository and nondepository institutions.
State Trust Income Tax Environment
Finally, many trust situs-seekers and migrators reside or maintain their non-grantor trusts’ current situs in states that impose high trust tax rates on accumulated income and capital gains. They may be seeking a state income tax shelter if: (1) the laws defining their home or trust situs states’ trust tax jurisdiction are drawn narrowly enough to allow them to achieve that result, and (2) the destination state won’t tax the trust after the move.
Here again, all of the six progressive states aren’t created equally. Some don’t tax trust income and capital gains at all. Others will prorate the trust’s taxable income based on the percentage of beneficiaries who live in the destination state, exempting from state taxation all trusts having exclusively non-resident beneficiaries.
Disruptive Business Model
The process of creative disruption has transformed many an industry as traditional business models are forced to adapt to upstarts that offer a compelling alternative value proposition. For families and their advisors who are willing to do their homework on prospective new DTCs and the open-architecture trust governance alternatives available to them in the progressive trust jurisdictions, as well as for traditional providers willing to consider serving in directed trustee roles, the new unbundled trust governance mode l offers the promise of vastly greater choice and many attractive possible permutations that can deliver best-in-class trust service across all trustee functions at a reasonable overall cost.

How can making us homeless make any sense when we will be forced to live off state handouts?
Asa Pryke was handed the sentence after he and wife Gwen set up camp when their firm went bust and they had to sell their house.
The desperate couple and their three children pitched tents and then put three caravans on the brownfield site in a picturesque village.
But after losing a bitter battle to gain planning permission, 47-year-old Asa has now been handed the four-month term after refusing to move from the two-acre plot.
Gwen, 48, was told she only escaped jail because she looks after their teenage kids.
Her family has lived in the village of Dedham, Essex, since the 1600s and the couple married at the local church.
After moving to the site, the Prykes sought permission to build an eco-friendly house near the village school.
But bosses at Colchester Borough Council rejected their plans after residents objected that the land is in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Before the hearing at Colchester County Court, Asa said: “How can making us homeless make any sense when we will be forced to live off state handouts?”

Dan was taken by God peacefully early Saturday morning while he was sleeping after an extended illness. Dan was preceded in death by his father Jerry in 1987. Dan is survived by his mother Molly Watson of Tacoma, WA; sister, Carrie (Jamie) Mendall of Orondo, WA; 2 sons, Daniel (Deambra) Collier Jr., Clifford Collier both of WA. Dan grew up Tacoma, WA. He had somewhat of a mischievous childhood, as lots of boys do. But after some time of growing up, Dan soon realized what he was really good at. Building things. He loved tools and wood and creating and crafting. He became an excellent cabinet maker, who would soon be recognized for his work.
Dan loved working. It was his passion. In addition to being an excellent cabinet maker, he also worked all phases of construction. Later in life he started his own construction company and after a few years of hard work, it really began paying off. Word got out of his excellent skills and soon he was busy all the time, along with earning the respect of his co-workers and colleagues. Along with that, he sub-contracted for the Puyallup Indian Tribes. They recognized his skills and soon promoted him to a supervisory position. He truly loved that job and the people he worked with.
Dan had a heart of gold that few could see, as he kept it hidden under a rough exterior. He did many, many jobs for people, which sometimes were not paid for. He did it because he could and he loved it. He figured they would pay when they could. He also let friends come into to his home if they had no other place to go. Even if they could, he never asked for money from them because he didn’t really need it. It was his way of helping out and giving back.
Dan had many friends and family members who loved and respected him and will truly miss his “sunny” disposition. He also loved all of them; he just had a hard time saying it. And without fail, Dan ALWAYS remembered his Mother on Mothers day.
Dan really enjoyed his sugar gliders. They were a big joy in his life. Maybe now he can see Scream, Little Girl and Shadow on the other side. He is survived by Scootie, who will now live with his sister. He wanted her to have him.
I feel privileged to have been there for him in his last months of life. It was a time of bonding and Love and mostly trusts. It is, without hesitation, an honor I would do again. I have learned many things over the last few months. But the biggest one is, to forgive is divine and forgiveness will set you free.
Dan is now at peace and has a job of being one of Gods carpenters. I look forward to seeing him on the other side. Keep him in your hearts and prayers. And never forget to tell your loved ones how you feel, you might not have tomorrow.
A family gathering will be held at a later date.
I look forward to reading stories and comments from all of you. Peace and God Bless to you all.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to Franciscan Hospice, PO Box 1502, Tacoma, WA 98401-9836.

04 Sep Whats Up – September 2023
In a nutshell…
Moon – Earth Relations
Perigee: 359 911 km on 28/09 at 02h59
Apogee: 406 291 km on 12/09 at 17h42
The (southern hemisphere) spring equinox will occur on the 23rd of September at 08h50.
Venus is visible near the stars of the constellation Cancer in the morning sky
Mars is visible near the stars of the constellation Virgo in the early evening sky
Jupiter is visible near the stars of the constellation Aries late at night and in the morning sky
Saturn is visible near the stars of the constellation Aquarius in the evening and morning sky
Some easy to identify bright stars
Rigel: blue supergiant in Orion
Betelgeuse: red supergiant in Orion
Procyon: yellowish white star in Canis Minor
Sirius: brightest star in the night sky, located in Canis Major
Antares: red supergiant in Scorpius
Arcturus: red giant in Boötes
Spica: brightest bluish-white star in Virgo
Canopus: yellowish-white star in Carina
Altair: a white star, brightest in Aquila
Regulus: blue–white star and the brightest star in Leo
The Pointers: Alpha and Beta Centauri
Sun and Moon
The Last Quarter Moon falls on the 7th of September at 002h1. The New Moon occurs on the 15th of September at 03h39 and the First Quarter falls on the 22nd of September at 21h31. The Full Moon occurs on the 29th of September 11h57.
The moon’s orbit around the Earth is slightly elliptical, with the distance between the two bodies varying somewhat over the course of a month. On the 12th of September at about 17h42 the Moon will be at apogee (furthest from Earth) at a distance of about 406 291km. On the 28th of September at about 02h59, the Moon will be at perigee (closest approach to Earth) at a distance of about 359 911km.
The (southern hemisphere) spring equinox will occur on the 23rd of September at 08h50. At this time, the Sun will be located directly above the earth’s equator, as it appears to move southwards. This is the second instance of this occurring during the year, the other instance being of course the autumn equinox, which occurs about 6 months earlier when the Sun is on its northbound journey. The spring equinox marks the promise of warmer days ahead for those in the southern hemisphere, while for those in the northern hemisphere colder days lie in wait. These seasonal changes are the result of the tilt of Earth’s rotation axis relative to its orbit around the Sun.
Planetary and Other Events – Morning and Evening
Mars and Saturn are still visible after sunset, located in the west and east respectively. Mars is located nears the stars of the constellation Virgo. Mars will be near the Moon on the 16th of September. Saturn, the beautifully ringed planet, is located near the stars of the constellation Aquarius. Saturn will be near the Moon on the 27th of September. Jupiter. located near the stars of the constellation Aries, is visible from midnight till before sunrise. Jupiter will be near the Moon on the 4th of September. Venus and Jupiter dazzle the morning skies. Those who are able to rise from their beds early will have the prize of observing three planets in the early morning sky: Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Venus is located on the east near the stats of the constellation, Cancer. It will be shining brilliantly and will be brightest on the 18th of September. Saturn will be located in the west near the stars of the constellation Aquarius.
The Evening Sky Stars
The winter Milky Way still sweeps majestically across the sky from NNE to SSW in early September evenings, and the centre of our Milky Way galaxy is almost overhead. Just to the west of the zenith is the Scorpion, with the reddish star Antares at its heart. Antares (or ‘rival of Mars’) is a huge star 600 light years away, shining in visible light with 12000 times the power output of our own sun. But Antares is also so much cooler than the sun (hence the red colour) that most of its energy output is in the infrared, and its total power output is 40000 times that of the sun. If Antares were suddenly placed at the centre of our solar system, Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars and the asteroid belt would be inside this monster star, whose vaguely defined surface would lie 4/5 of the way from the star’s centre to the orbit of Jupiter. Gravity at the surface of Antares is so weak that it is losing mass fast enough to create a visible nebula or gas cloud around it, lit by Antares’ hot companion star. In the next few million years or so, Antares may explode as a supernova — so keep your eyes on the Scorpion if you’re the patient sort. Just NE of Scorpio in the Milky Way are the stars of Sagittarius the Archer, making a pattern a bit like a teapot. It’s in this constellation that the centre of our galaxy is located, but you can’t actually see the centre directly because of the thick dust clouds in between. Only one in a billion photons of visible light from the Galactic Centre can get through, and infrared cameras are needed to show what’s there. Infrared observations of stars orbiting the centre suggest that right at the centre is a black hole about 3 million times as massive as our sun.
High in the NE, toward the edge of the Milky Way, is the bright star Altair in Aquila the Eagle. Altair is easy to recognize because of the dimmer stars more or less equally spaced on each side. Another bird constellation, low in the NE and thoroughly tangled in the Milky Way, is Cygnus the Swan, also known as the Northern Cross. At the NE end (top) of the Cross is Deneb, the tail of the Swan. Deneb is much more distant than most of the stars we see with the unaided eye, and its true brightness has been estimated at 160 000 suns. To the right (W) of Deneb is another bright northern star, Vega, about 1/100 as far away at only 25 light years. Vega is really much dimmer than Deneb, but appears brighter because it is so much closer. If Deneb were as close as Vega, it would be by far the brightest star in the sky, as bright as a thickish crescent moon!
Low in the NW in early evening is the bright star Arcturus, with Spica glowing low in the west amidst the ‘dance of the three planets’ described above. Higher in the west (and just north of the Scorpion) is the curious constellation of Ophiuchus the Serpent Holder. One half of the Serpent stretches from the hands of Ophiuchus toward Arcturus and the Northern Crown in the NW, while the other extends along the Milky Way toward the Eagle. South of the Scorpion are the Altar, the Level and the Wolf, while further south we find the Centaur (including the Pointers) and the Southern Cross. Fomalhaut is now high in the east, with bright Achernar low in the southeast, ninth brightest star in the night sky.
The Morning Sky Stars
By the time the Earth’s rotation allows us to see the predawn September sky, Achernar (the ‘mouth’ of the celestial river Eridanus) is much higher in the south, with Fomalhaut (in the Southern Fish) low in the SW. Achernar is spinning so fast that its equatorial diameter is about 11.8 times that of the sun, while its polar diameter is only 7.6 times the solar one. Partly due to its very fast spin, Achernar is losing mass thousands of times faster than our own sun, and is thousands of times brighter. High in the southeastern sky is Canopus, second brightest star in our night skies and the brightest star in the ancient constellation of Argo, the great ship. High in the east is Sirius, brightest star in the night sky as seen from Earth. If Canopus were at the same distance as Sirius, however, it would shine about 400 times brighter. Sirius is the brightest star in Orion’s Large Dog. The stars of Orion, including bright Rigel and Betelgeuse, are high in the NE before dawn this month. Charging Orion is Taurus the Bull, with Aldebaran serving as an inflamed orange eye. No wonder Orion has his hide shield raised in front of him. Behind Orion, his Small Dog (with the bright star Procyon) is prudently staying on the safer side of the contest, while totally indifferent to all this drama, Auriga the Charioteer (with the bright star Capella) drives by low in the north.

Members of the KSU faculty who meet the criteria established by the AMETH Program may receive the additional designation of "American Ethnic Studies Faculty." Although this designation carries no budgetary implications, it may be added to the faculty member's title and signals membership in the faculty of the interdisciplinary program.
Designation as "American Ethnic Studies Faculty" is based on the individual's background in the field of American ethnic studies, using the same definitions of criteria outlined in the Faculty Handbook sections on promotion and tenure: research and publication (or other scholarly or creative endeavor appropriate to the field); teaching; and service. For appointment to the AMETH faculty, the following minimum standards will be necessary:
- Published original scholarship or creative work concerning an American ethnic group or an aspect of American ethnicity accepted by a refereed journal or some other body of peers. The candidate should be sole or senior author.
- Documented expertise which would qualify the appointee to teach a course which could be part of the AMETH curriculum. Such documentation may include appropriate graduate work by the applicant, published original scholarship or creative work in the field of American Ethnic Studies, or experience as the sole or senior instructor of a course that is acceptable as an AMETH course.
- Demonstrated familiarity with and participation in, the field of American Ethnic Studies by such means as colloquia, courses, seminars, conferences, meeting of professional associations, or equivalent continuing contact with the literature and scholars of American Ethnic Studies.
- Service activities that support the KSU AMETH Program or local, regional, or national service activities concerned with an American ethnic group or ethnicity in America.
American Ethnic Studies faculty are normally members of academic departments at Kansas State University. Faculty are expected to apply for re-certification every five years by submitting evidence of recent and current activity, including curriculum development and/or relevant original scholarship or creative work published within the past five years.
Deans, department heads, and university faculty are expected by the Provost to acknowledge achievement and contributions to American Ethnic Studies as positive and constructive contributions to the university as a whole and to take them into account when making recommendations and decisions about merit salary increases, promotion, and tenure.
The Provost named the first American Ethnic Studies Faculty in the spring of 1987.

Calling all graduate students! We are excited to announce the arrival of the graduate student-led speaker series – Engaging in Current Events as Criminologists (ECEC)! The focus of this speaker series is Police-Community Relations in Marginalized Neighborhoods, and within that broad topic we will be concentrating locally on Baltimore. The lecture series will begin next week on February 6, 2018 (additional details on future sessions can be found in the attached flyer). What: ECEC Session 1 – Defining the Problem Where: Morrill Hall Room 1101 (College Park) When: Tuesday February 6th 6:30pm-8:00pm RSVP here: goo.gl/forms/13BlQysgNLkz7joW2 Guest Speaker: DeRay Mckesson DeRay Mckesson is a Baltimore-based, civil rights activist focused primarily on issues of innovation, equity, and justice. DeRay is a leading voice in the Black Lives Matter Movement and the co-founder of Campaign Zero and OurStates.org. He has worked to connect individuals with knowledge and tools, and provide citizens and policy makers with commonsense policies to ensure equity. He has become a key voice in the effort to confront the systems and structures that have led to mass incarceration and police killings of black and other minority populations. DeRay was named as one of the World’s Greatest Leaders by Fortune Magazine in 2015 and as one of the 30 Most Important People On The Internet by Time Magazine in 2016. We hope that this series will be an opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions on these issues and to explore new perspectives. And, you never know, maybe you’ll come away with a great idea for a thesis, dissertation, or journal article! Seating is limited, so please RSVP if you would like to participate in person ASAP. We also encourage people participate remotely through the Webinar link below. umd.webex.com/umd/onstage/g.php?MTID=ee7c7adf63bf9a07983a60f32a98ddb87 We hope to see you there and look forward to engaging in current events with you!

Minister of the Month – Henry Smith
Meet Henry, nominated for Minister of the Month for his role as a volunteer writing mentor for our community labs.
Ever since joining Ministry of Stories in early 2019, Henry has felt ‘at home’ and has started taking on more fun creative projects, and trying out more new things, ‘because if you see so many youngsters putting themselves out there, you think to yourself, ‘why can’t I do that too?”
Name: Henry Smith
Hail from: London
Volunteer role: Writing Mentor, Community Labs
Favourite story and why:
Matilda. Because who among us hasn’t wanted to use psychic powers to get back at mean teachers?
Tell us a little bit about yourself:
I am a nine-year-old in an adult’s body who works at an arts magazine and loves reading, writing, drawing, movies and music.
Why did you decide to volunteer with Ministry of Stories?
I really like helping people, and volunteering was always something that has always appealed to me, but I wanted to find a cause I really believed in. I was a very shy, introverted (and to be honest, little bit weird) child who often had to resort to writing to fully express himself, so encouraging kids like me to embrace their creativity and weirdness was something that felt a very natural fit for me, and it’s felt quite natural doing it too.
Were you nervous about anything before starting?
Although I have younger family members, I didn’t really have much experience working with children before signing up for the Ministry. So I was a bit nervous about engaging with the club members at first, but once I got started, that disappeared pretty quickly. It helps that they’re the coolest kids I’ve come into contact with. Much cooler than I was at that age. Probably cooler than I am now, to be honest.
What has been the best experience of volunteering?
I remember once time during a performance at the end of a club session, where one of the mentees had prepared a rap but was having a bit of stage fright. But the way the other members of his group rallied around him and encouraged him until he was spitting bars all over the place was a really magical thing to observe and be a part of.
What has been the most unexpected thing about volunteering?
For me, something I was a little surprised by how quickly I felt at home – not only with the kids, but with the mentors and the rest of the team too. Everyone was really welcoming and open and lovely, and it almost feels like I’m part a secret society of fellow weirdos.
Has volunteering changed anything in your life?
I’d say it’s made me a lot more confident. Not only confident in myself, but in the things I do as well; I feel like since I’ve started volunteering, I’ve started taking on more fun creative projects, and trying out more new things. Because if you see so many youngsters putting themselves out there, you think to yourself: “why can’t I do that too?”
What would you say to other people who are thinking of volunteering with the Ministry?
DO IT!!! I think like me, a lot of people might have concerns about being around children, for example, but if you’re open, empathetic and encouraging to all these creative, malleable little minds, you’ll be surprised to see how much of a difference you can make. Oh, and it’s super fun.
Describe the Ministry of Stories in three words:
Weird. Wonderful. Fun!

Made from sour cream instead of cream cheese, the recipe, developed with the help of OSU's food science department, signaled a turning point for Reser's family food business, started in a Cornelius farmhouse.
Reser's dip discovery was an immediate hit, sending him on his way to becoming a refrigerated food giant. And it also helped to solidify Reser's loyalty to his alma mater, a recipient of his generosity for years to come.
Reser, CEO and chairman of Reser's Fine Foods, a philanthropist and "Beaver Believer," died Monday night at the age of 74.
According to a statement issued by his family on Tuesday, Reser passed away in his sleep at his Sarasota, Fla., vacation home while on a short getaway.
Reser's contributions transformed Oregon State University, whose football stadium bears his name and where buildings continue to rise with his millions of dollars in donations.
An avid supporter of civic causes across the Portland metro area, he supported organizations from the Portland Rose Festival Foundation to Special Olympics Oregon.
"Al touched the lives of anyone he met -- and thousands more through his support," Gov. Ted Kulongoski said in a statement on Tuesday. "Al Reser was a man of great generosity, kindness and compassion."
Born in Kansas, Reser moved with his family through the Midwest during the Depression, eventually arriving in Oregon.
To make ends meet, his mother, Mildred, made potato salad in their farmhouse kitchen, while his father, Earl, sold it door-to-door to butcher shops and mom-and-pop stores.
In 1951, Mildred took her potato salad to the new Safeway in Hillsboro and asked the store if it was interested in buying it, said Kerry Tymchuk, working on a biography of Reser -- "No Small Potatoes" -- that Oregon State Press planned to publish this year.
The manager tasted the salad, Reser notes in "No Small Potatoes," and "asked my mother a question she never expected: Could she supply potato salad to not just the Hillsboro store but to every Safeway store in Oregon?"
At age 12, Reser worked sometimes 24 hours a day to deliver his mother's potato salad fresh to grocery stores every Sunday.
"He might get by on two hours of sleep and was like that even later in life," said Don Krahmer Sr., 78, a lifelong friend who was with Reser when he passed away. "He was easygoing, but very driven and self-disciplined."
In 1960, Reser graduated with a degree in business administration at OSU, where he met his wife, Pat. At the age of 25, he became CEO of Reser's Fine Foods and moved the company to Beaverton.Over the next 50 years, Reser grew the company from a local business with $300,000 in annual sales to an international brand boasting $800 million in sales of its deli items such as salads, pasta, salsa and chip dips.
Today, Reser's Fine Foods Inc. employs 2,000 workers, half of which are in Oregon, and operates a dozen processing plants across the country.
"He got big, but he never got conceited," Krahmer said. "He cared about people who really needed money. He figured that's where he came from so he always gave back."
Reser's philanthropic record can be seen across the Oregon State University campus, in the annual Grand Floral Parade and in Special Olympics events.
Hee single-handedly paid off OSU's athletic department's debt. In 1999, he made a $5 million donation to the school's football stadium and threw in a $12.5 million gift in 2002 to change the name to Reser Stadium until at least 2038.
Reser's contributions to Oregon State's football program had a lasting impact. That gift -- the largest in the history of the athletic department -- jump-started OSU's stadium expansion project that increased capacity to 45,674, led to the recruitment of better athletes and put the Beavers in a position to contend for the Pacific-10 Conference championship the past two seasons.
"(Al Reser) and his family are the architects of whatever success this department has enjoyed," OSU athletic director Bob De Carolis said in a statement. "While he may be gone from this earth his legacy and spirit will be with us for a long time."
Reser also supported OSU's academics, giving $10.65 million to the new science center, slated for completion next year. OSU presented Reser with the E.B. Lemon Distinguished Alumni Award just last Saturday .
"He's done so much for this school and this community," said Edward Ray, OSU president. "He was a wonderful person. Wonderfully successful in business and wonderfully successful in family."
Since 1989, Reser also played a major role in the annual Rose Festival, putting dollars to ensure award-winning floats every year that he would help to design conceptually.
On Tuesday, the Rose Festival Foundation announced it was naming the Sweepstakes Award -- the highest honor in the parade -- after him.
Reser is survived by Pat, his wife of more than 50 years, and their children, Mindy, Michelle, Mark, Mike and Marty. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

The Tiber River isn’t particularly pretty in and of itself, probably best known for its muddy, yellowish-brown hue. It only gains its beauty from the city around it: the stucco buildings reflecting off the water, the parasol pines that line up and droop along its bank. River Tiber’s music heads down a similar path: its individual elements are unremarkable but, when put together, create something great. Based out of Toronto, River Tiber is the project of 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist Tommy Paxton-Beesley. Taking a lot of influence from the similarly minimalist James Blake, “Prophets” sidesteps any rigid structure, instead opting to explore a lot of different ideas across its five minutes, gently pulled along by Paxton-Beesley barely audible vocals. It’s a gorgeously layered and intimate song, at times both peaceful and haunting. Listen to that and “Atlantis,” one of his earlier tracks, below.
River Tiber’s The Star Falls EP is out now

I also accept that in theory its very difficult or impossible for me to check whether the site I consume media from is licensed to show me the content or not Im not the one making the rules.
And anyway, honestly, you know if its a legit service. And most importantly, not only am I not a lawyer but in fact even a lawyer cannot tell you for sure until you try it in court.
How would someone even know what you are streaming? It would mean the internet company would have to be actively monitoring your downstream and then pass this info onto the movie companies.
They normally do not get you for streaming. They get you for uploading via torrents. For that they connect themselves to the torrent swarm and get all the information from there because it is all visible.
Posted 17 May Auch das Streaming offensichtlich illegaler Angebote gilt also von nun an als rechtswidrig. The problem is, the law is deliberately left vague, we can all come up with our own definitions and interpretations of the streaming laws - and I would not disagree with what many have said here.
As far as I can see, its up to you your own moral standards, if you choose to watch movies that are in the cinema for free on your own home TV - that day.
The chances of getting caught are close to zero - but always use a VPN, if you are going to do it. Well, kind of. In reality did you pay netflix or a similar service for access or did you get it from some popup infested porn advertising russian website with a name something like allvids.
And we now know, from what has been posted on this thread that streaming from an unauthorised source is illegal.
This whole idea that maybe I can stream hollywood movies on day of release from russian hackers and its all legal and above board -- dont lie to yourself, you always knew its wasnt.
Tue only in as far as its up to your own moral standards whether or not you do anything illegal.
Using the argument that you wont get caught is quite disturbing to me, would you say hey this shop has really bad security we can shoplift and probably never get caught?
Id hope not. And yes, I do understand that copyright "theft" isnt theft, its not about that, its about dubious morals you propose.
Sure we can all make general moral rules about what we consider to be illegal eg Movies that are in the cinema coming to your TV for free.
But in reality, how can you prove it?? I would agree based on my personal moral standards, that watching a movie on TV while its in the cinema, is illegal.
But maybe other people would not. I say that you will probably never get caught, because that reflects the reality of the situation, not because I agree or disagree from the moral point of view.
I never have stated a moral view on doing it or not. Posted 18 May I find it difficult to believe that you ask me to self incriminate, to prove a point that I am not making.
Everyone here can state their views on what is allowed or not - but its just not clear enough, thats why you see so many people get novice getting caught for torrenting.
As the article from Focus points out, watching these illegal streams is becoming dangerous and users need to watch out. But to date there has been no mass sending of warning letters and fines.
Follow on Facebook for regular Frankfurt updates! Loads of expats have learned that one the hard way. If you decide not to pay then I guess it just depends on which country you return to and whether the german authorities can be bothered to chase you.
And you probably know if you have gone to a website that is streaming illegal content. For example the site you keep mentioning.
I have never used it but it is pretty obvious that it is offering pirated content. I understand.
Because they are offering also online free movies, songs etc etc.. I had very bad experience with torrent and i had to pay toooooo much money.
Like U -torrent or Bt torrent.. There are many german compinies will find only the forignners,who watched or downloaded movies etc from these kind of website..
I really dont understand instead of finding us and sending the Straffe, they should work on these kind of websites and block them..
Is streaming from dailymotion illegal? Im under the impression that dailymotion would have to remove the video. I love watching documentaries, and a good source for finding said documentaries is daily motion.
Could I be fined for watching full documentaries on daily motion? Probably not. It depends if the content is copy righted.

How to Use Facebook to Promote Your Events
August 15, 2018
in Social Media
Using Facebook in promoting your events is potentially the best social media marketing you can invest in. Especially now that at least 550 million is highly-engaged in Facebook events every month.
You probably already know this and all the possibilities that Facebook have. Maybe you’re ready to promote your event on Facebook so let’s just get to the process.
Optimize your event’s page
Before showcasing your event, you must first optimize your event’s page.
1. Name your event
Pick a short and memorable name. Longer titles won’t look good when viewed on mobile devices so they will less likely provide good results.
As in the sample event above, which is the upcoming Annual Chicago Jazz Festival, adding a milestone (40th years) will make the event’s name more memorable than merely using the official event’s name.
If you are promoting a film, make sure to add specific details to your event’s name so the audience won’t be confused.
2. Add information and data about your event
To effectively use Facebook’s algorithm, you should input your event’s information correctly. Add the date(s), venue, and additional details.
3. Optimize notifications
One of the mistakes that event planners make is notifying their already engaged audience about the event. Most people will consider this annoying so you should only notify your audience once—that is a day before the event.
Instead, notify your audience about the event through a company, organization, or product page.
4. Add a customized cover photo
Ideally, your cover photo should be 1920 x 1080 pixels and should be eye-catching.
Prepare your audience before the event
Some event planners or marketers make sure all their contents and products are ready before they make the event’s page. Yet, it is more effective to create the page while you’re still preparing for the event.
This will excite the audience, giving them the feeling that you’re preparing the event with them. At the same time, they will have enough time to prepare their schedules and budget for the event.
Let your audience know about your preparation by sharing some ‘behind the scenes’ photos or videos. You can also post trailers, teasers, or screenshots of your content. When your audience is excited about the event, they will be more courageous and enthusiastic to share it with their friends and to the world.
You can also use Facebook Live to share important parts of your preparation.
Use a company, organization, or product page to promote the event
Events come and go. However, a company, organization, or product should be long-lasting. Remember that you are organizing an event because you want to promote a product or campaign in the first place.
You should place the module “Upcoming Events” at the top of your company or organization’s page.
In the example above, the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) placed their “Upcoming Events” module close to the top of their page.
You should also add an “Events” tab on your page so your audience will be encouraged to check out all your upcoming events.
Additionally, by simply sharing and posting upcoming events on your page, you will generate interest from your followers. Most of these followers will share your posts, too, so it is a great way to promote your event.
Promote with event’s co-hosts
Consider using your partners’ Facebook influence to generate buzz and increase audience.
You can add your co-hosts on your event’s page. Then, your partners will be able to add modules and posts on their own pages about the event.
Or you can share your events on other pages that are in line with your niche. Explore Facebook and just keep on sharing so all your potentially interested audience will find your event.
Be sure to take advantage of the Facebook Ads because this is the most powerful tool in Facebook. Facebook Ads will target your campaigns and events very specifically. You can filter who will find your ad by age, location, gender, language, education, likes, interests, connection, workplace, and more.
You can also create a ‘Custom Audience’ based on your own contacts, site traffic, and mobile app.
To use Facebook Ads properly, study the three main advertising functions that Facebook can support to help event organizers in promotion below.
Ads to gather responses. These ads are for organizers who simply want to create a buzz. The audience can choose the “Interested” or “Going” button. However, they won’t be required or bound to exactly buy tickets or attend the event. Organizers only want to share the event and determine the expected size of their audience.
These ads are commonly used for free to attend events, festivals, and conferences.
Ads to compel event registrations. These type of ads drive potential event attendees to an event registration page. The page can be made directly on Facebook or can lead to a third party website.
These ads will have the “Buy Tickets” button and will look completely like the ads to gather responses.
Facebook Ads Manager and Editor. To target specific people, you can use the more advanced features of Facebook Ads. You can create a custom campaign and make a modified target event attendees so Facebook can match them to the right people.
Moreover, to maximize ad efforts, ad campaigns must also be perfectly optimized for mobile devices. All photos and images must be clear, and text should be readable.
Types of ad formats in Facebook:
In addition to the tips above, you should also keep in mind that Facebook changes every day so it is important to stay updated and adapt to the changes.
Since most people now engage in Facebook, it is an ideal channel to reach out to any type of audience. It is the easiest social media platform to generate buzz and raise event awareness. However, you must follow a practical plan to get the results that you want to have.
Furthermore, you should also consider other social media channels (like Twitter and Instagram) to reach out to your target audience that is not active on Facebook.

Recent research shows that omega-3 fatty acids, long known for producing many health benefits, could protect the brain in a case of trauma, and perhaps even heal it after injury.
Researchers at universities in the United States and England are optimistic about the results they have found when experimenting with omega-3 fatty acids to help speed recovery from nerve and brain injuries.
"More work is needed but our research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids can protect damaged nerve cells, which is a critical first step in a successful neurological recovery,” Adina Michael-Titus, Professor of Neuroscience at Barts and The London Medical School, said in a press release from the University of London.
"Our previous research has shown that these fatty acids could have beneficial effects in a number of neurological conditions. This new study suggests that they could also have a role in treating peripheral nerve injuries.’’
The research from the University of London suggests that omega-3 fatty acids have the potential to protect nerves from injury and help them to regenerate. When nerves are damaged because of an accident or injury, patients experience pain, weakness and muscle paralysis which can leave them disabled, and recovery rates are poor.
Doctors doing similar research in the United States discovered that large doses of omega-3 fatty acids, if administered quickly after a traumatic injury, have the potential to improve outcomes from a potentially devastating problem, according to a study published in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for good health, but the human body cannot produce these acids effectively. Instead, we get them from food rich in these essential nutrients, like trout, salmon, halibut and other oily fish, walnuts, kiwi and flax seed.
Omega-3 fatty acids keep the brain’s synapses healthy, allowing them to create the connections for signals to travel in the brain. Without these essential fatty acids, people become prone to neurological and emotional disorders.
This is especially important for people who have experienced Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), which usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head that causes the brain to collide with the skull. Football players involved in violent collisions are the most obvious victims of TBI, but recent research is focusing on veterans returning from war. Some of them may or may not be aware they have experienced TBI.
Military doctors are doing research to supplement soldiers’ diets with omega-3 to see if it improves their mental health and stress resilience. It is hoped this will help stop hundreds of service personnel committing suicide and save billions of dollars.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among persons in the United States. Each year, an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI. As a result of these injuries, 52,000 people die, 230,000 people are hospitalized and survive. At least 5.3 million Americans, 2% of the U.S. population, currently live with disabilities resulting from TBI.

Guy Maddin's euphoric black-and-white phantasmagoria of nostalgic filmmaking washes over its audience like a storm of hot and cold hail. A dreamscape atmosphere of theatrical danger arrives with psychosexual implications, imperial gestures, tricks of light, and a fetishized appreciation for all things physical — the more worn by age, the better. Guy Maddin's love of cinematic illusion fills every crack of fractured narrative space. If all of this tightly wound passion comes across as an acquired taste, then so much better to activate a rarified audience experience.
Jason Patrick carries a mythic weight around his neck as Ulysses — a smalltime mobster returning to his family home after a long absence. A team of police waits outside while Ulysses and his men take refuge in the house, which is teeming with ghosts. Downstairs, Ulysses’s adult son Manners (David Wontner) goes unrecognized by his father who kidnapped him. Upstairs, Ulysses’s late wife Hyacinth (Isabella Rossellini) bides her time in bed with her naked and shriveled ghost of her father (Louis Negin). Fortunately for her she can open doors with her hair.
“Keyhole” is a puzzle of a movie Freud would have a field day with. Maddin might have been loosely inspired by Homer’s “Odyssey,” but you’ll have a tough time untangling the thematic threads that cross like so many telephone wires from a long gone era. The off-kilter images and fuzzy storyline are more likely to give you nightmares than daydreams. Think of “Keyhole” as an avant-garde melodrama to cleanse you palate of all of the insipid Hollywood crap you’ve ever seen over the years. You need it.

The average woman should get 10 to 35 percent of her daily calories from protein. Protein helps prevent muscle tissue from breaking down and repairs body tissues. Sources of animal proteins include meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and cheese. Vegetable proteins include dried beans and peas, peanut butter, nuts, bread and cereal. (A three-ounce serving of cooked chicken contains about 21 grams of protein.)
As the table above shows, some of the best sources of calcium are dairy products. However, dairy products such as whole milk, cheese, and yogurt also tend to contain high levels of saturated fat. The USDA recommends limiting your saturated fat intake to no more than 10% of your daily calories, meaning you can enjoy whole milk dairy in moderation and opt for no- or low-fat dairy products when possible. Just be aware that reduced fat dairy products often contain lots of added sugar, which can have negative effects on both your health and waistline.
What you eat is even more important as you enter your 40s. Women need protein (meat, fish, dairy, beans, and nuts), carbohydrates (whole grains), fats (healthy oils), vitamins, minerals, and water. These foods have been linked to some disease prevention, such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. The American Academy of Family Physicians supports the development of healthy food supply chains in supplemental nutrition programs so as to broaden the availability of healthy food.
Women's Health magazine focuses on the emotional and physical process of healthy living. Featuring sections such as fitness, food, weight loss, Sex & Relationships, health, Eat This!, style, and beauty, this magazine focuses on the health of the whole woman. Although the magazine is relatively new, the success it has reached since its inception in 2005 speaks volumes about the magazine's ability to connect with women everywhere.

For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about sports and fitness. One of my favorite things is having the opportunity to encourage others and help however I can as they pursue their personal fitness goals. Outside of the gym, I enjoy playing sports, watching sports, sleeping and hanging out with friends. I am Cross-Fit Level 1 Certified.

Actually, more people suffer from food intolerances, which don't involve the immune system. However, food intolerance symptoms—such as intestinal distress—may mimic those of a food allergy. If you have a food intolerance, talk to a nutritionist about diagnosis and treatment; if you have food allergies, you need to see an allergist. Whether you have food allergies or intolerance, you will need to develop a diet that fits your needs and avoids foods that trigger a reaction.
After 40, your hormone levels (estrogen) drop. This causes your insulin (hormone that helps your body use sugar) rise. Your thyroid levels go down. This combination makes you hungrier. You end up eating more and burning fewer calories. Much of the weight gain occurs around your belly. Eat more foods with fiber (berries, whole grains, nuts) to fill you up and help you eat less. Aim for 25 grams of fiber each day after the age of 40. Other ways to increase your metabolism include:
No matter how busy you are, eat lunch before 3 p.m., a Spanish study suggests. Researchers placed a group of women on a diet for 20 weeks; half ate lunch before 3 and half consumed their midday meal after 3. Although both groups’ daily caloric intake, time spent exercising and sleeping, and appetite hormone levels were the same, those who lunched late lost about 25 percent less weight than earlier eaters. Being European, lunch was the biggest meal of the day for these women, constituting 40 percent of their calories for the day, so consider slimming down dinner in addition to watching the clock.
Yes, regular weight training will result in increased muscle mass. However, there is a certain type of training necessary to achieve these gains in size, training that involves heavy resistance and volume. By keeping the weight at about 40 to 50% of maximum effort and increasing repetitions for a cardiovascular effect, you will notice tone, not bulk.

Much of the sugar we eat is added to other foods, such as regular soft drinks, fruit drinks, puddings, ice cream and baked goods, to name just a few. Soft drinks and other sugary beverages are the No. 1 offenders in American diets. A 12-ounce can of regular soda contains 8 teaspoons of sugar, exceeding the daily maximum amount recommended for women.
Notice that alcohol isn't included in a food group. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation, up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. Alcohol offers little nutritional value, and when used in excess, can cause short-term health damage, such as distorted vision, judgment, hearing and coordination; emotional changes; bad breath; and hangovers. Long-term effects may include liver and stomach damage, vitamin deficiencies, impotence, heart and central nervous system damage and memory loss. Abuse can lead to alcohol poisoning, coma and death. Pregnant women should not drink at all because alcohol can harm the developing fetus and infant. According to the March of Dimes, more than 40,000 babies are born each year with alcohol-related damage. Even light and moderate drinking during pregnancy can hurt your baby. If you are breastfeeding, discuss drinking alcohol with your health care professional. After clearing it with your doctor, you may be able to have an occasional celebratory single, small alcoholic drink, but you should abstain from breastfeeding for two hours after that drink.
Sugar is a source of calories, not nutrients. Consuming too much sugar can lead to weight gain and tooth decay. Contrary to what many people think, there is no evidence linking high-sugar diets to hyperactivity or diabetes. However, high-fructose corn syrup, found in most processed foods, is linked with obesity, and obesity increases your risk for developing diabetes and other conditions.
Eat healthy fats. According to the American Heart Association, women should get at least five to 10 percent of total daily calories from omega-6 fatty acids (equal to 12 to 20 grams), and between 0.5 and 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids, depending on individual risk for heart disease. Good sources of omega-6 fatty acids include sunflower, safflower, corn, cottonseed and soybean oils. And good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include fatty fish, tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola, walnuts, flaxseed, and their oils. Talk with your health care professional about how much of these beneficial oils you should be getting, how you can best incorporate them into your diet and whether or not you should be taking them in supplement form.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared last week National Women’s Health Week (May 14-20th), but in reality we should be taking care of ourselves and have this awareness all year round, right? To kick this month off inspired by women’s health, let’s talk about health, nutrition, and of course answer your questions from Instagram, Twitter, and email from over this year!
A healthy vegetarian diet falls within the guidelines offered by the USDA. However, meat, fish and poultry are major sources of iron, zinc and B vitamins, so pay special attention to these nutrients. Vegans (those who eat only plant-based food) may want to consider vitamin and mineral supplements; make sure you consume sufficient quantities of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D and calcium. You can obtain what you need from non-animal sources. For instance:
Healthy eating is a way of eating that improves your health and helps prevent disease. It means choosing different types of healthy food from all of the food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins), most of the time, in the correct amounts for you. Healthy eating also means not eating a lot of foods with added sugar, sodium (salt), and saturated and trans fats.
It's a cliché, to be sure, but a balanced diet is the key to good nutrition and good health. Following that diet, however, isn't always that easy. One challenge is that women often feel too busy to eat healthfully, and it's often easier to pick up fast food than to prepare a healthy meal at home. But fast food is usually high in fat and calories and low in other nutrients, which can seriously affect your health. At the other extreme, a multimillion dollar industry is focused on telling women that being fit means being thin and that dieting is part of good nutrition.
Yin Yoga opens up the deep, dense, rarely touched areas of connective tissues of the body, otherwise known as fascia. Yin is the opposite of Yang yoga as we relax all muscles rather than moving through a flow. When one can completely release muscles in Yin, gravity helps break down the build up of connective tissue. Fascia can withstand up to 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, so deep stretching with longer holds is necessary. To assist with the long holds, all postures are on the floor, supported with props and blankets. Actively working to break down the fascia leads to greater flexibility and range of motion.

This article was originally published on Cyclingnews.com.
Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) continued his dominance of the sprinter-friendly stages at the Giro d'Italia as he took the 100th victory of his career in Treviso. The Manx Missile claimed the third win of his 2013 Giro campaign, while French champion Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ) and Luka Mezgec (Argos-Shimano) rounded out the top three.
Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) finished comfortably in the field to retain his maglia rosa while the big loser of stage 12 was Bradley Wiggins (Sky), dropped with 40km to go on the descent off the day's final KOM and conceding more than three minutes by the time he reached the finish.
The break of the day formed soon after the peloton left the start city of Longarone, and the five escapees, Fabio Felline (Androni Giocattoli), Maxim Belkov (Katusha), Bert De Backer (Argos-Shimano) plus Vacansoleil-DCM teammates Marco Marcato and Maurits Lammertink, nearly stole the show from the sprinters. With the wet roads perhaps tempering the peloton's pursuit in the stage's endgame, the catch was ultimately made just 500 metres from the finish.
"We came here wanting to win every sprint, and so far, we’ve done it convincingly, leading the peloton from start to finish," said Cavendish. "Everyone worked to bring the breakaway back. Geert Steegmans was really controlled in the final part. In these difficult conditions, it is easy to get carried away too soon, but today our timing was perfect."
In addition to making a clean, three-out-of-three sweep of the sprint stages thus far at the Giro d'Italia, Cavendish was pleased to notch his milestone 100th career victory.
"Normally, these records are not so meaningful, but this one is special," said Cavendish. "It isn’t easy to win 100 races. I’ve been looking forward to this one. It’s good to do it at the Giro, and it’s good to do it the way we did it, because my teammates rode out of their skin from the start of the stage to the finish. The guys were incredible, every single one of them, and that makes it even more special."
A miserable day at the office
The peloton faced wet, dismal conditions at the start in Longarone, with a forecast of rain for the entire stage.
The break of the day established itself nearly from kilometre zero, with four riders going out on the attack: Fabio Felline (Androni Giocattoli), stage 9 winner Maxim Belkov (Katusha), Bert De Backer (Argos-Shimano) and Maurits Lammertink (Vacansoleil-DCM).
Perhaps wishing to put on a good showing following the news yesterday that Vacansoleil would cease sponsorship of the Dutch WorldTour squad at the end of this season, one day after DCM made a similar announcement, Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil-DCM), too, jumped from the peloton in pursuit of the break hoping to join his teammate Lammertink up the road.
The riders faced a short climb to the day's first intermediate sprint at Pieve d'Alpago (11km), with Belkov leading the break across, followed by Marcato at 16 seconds and the peloton at 1:30. The Vacansoleil-DCM Italian, in his first Giro d'Italia, made contact on the descent several kilometres later and the now five-man break set to work to perhaps spoil the anticipated field sprint finale in Treviso.
The break was given a rude reminder of racing on slick Italian tarmac, however, as Belkov lost traction and fell while leading the escape on a descent 34km into the stage and Marcato, Felline and Lammertink all crashed, too, in his wake. Only De Backer managed to stay upright, and the 29-year-old Belgian slowed to allow his four fallen companions to pick themselves up and regain contact.
While none of the riders in the break were general classification threats, with Felline best-placed overall in 61st at 54:22, nonetheless the escapees weren't given much freedom on this short, 134km route from Longarone to Treviso as today's parcours was one of the few stages suited to the peloton's sprinters.
Maglia rosa wearer Vincenzo Nibali and his Astana team were largely given a pass at the head of the peloton for the duration of the stage as the teams of the sprinters, particularly Cannondale and Omega Pharma-QuickStep, had their workhorses setting tempo to keep the break on a tight leash, keeping their advantage pegged at a manageable three minutes.
Under unremitting rain, vacillating between steady and heavy, the peloton began its chase of the break in earnest once the day's second and final KOM was negotiated, the category 4 Montello-S.M.d.Vittoria at 41km to go. The escape's advantage was reduced to two minutes at 20.5km remaining as the pace in the peloton ramped up, with one of the casualties Bradley Wiggins (Sky), who was dropped on the descent off the Montello-S.M.d.Vittoria KOM and trailed the maglia rosa group by one minute.
The break's lead was halved from two minutes to one minute 13km from the finish, and when they passed through the finish line to begin a 7.5km circuit in Treviso, their advantage stood at a tenuous 27 seconds. The large Wiggins group, meanwhile, passed through more than three minutes in arrears.
The slick conditions gave the break hope, however, as the five riders continued to share the load, but their effort fell just short as they were swept up inside 500m to go, setting the stage for a battle royale amongst the peloton's sprinters.

A Few Common Under the hood repair & maintenance items:
Click on image for larger view of this 6 cylinder engine with some common parts identified.
Click here for image of a 4 cylinder engine with some common parts identified.
Click on the links below for a picture of the item. Press your back button on your browser to return here.
Air Idle Control Motor , ICM or Air Bypass Valve regulates the air at idle through the throttle body. The car's computer controls the amount of air going into the engine by controlling the AICM, or other similar valve. These replace the function of the idle speed screw used on the older carburetors which held the air plates (or butterfly valve) open a small amount. Common problems for the air valves are deposits that cause the valve to stick or become plugged. An aftermarket repair or factory shop manual may list the test and maintenance procedures. Symptoms of a defective or plugged unit can include rough idle, or a car that wants to die at idle, but runs well above at normal driving speeds. The Idle Speed Motor (right) works similar to the Air Idle Control motor.
Alternator (AutoTips Alternator Page)- Charges and works in conjunction with the battery to provide electrical power for the car. Alternators are a common failure item on cars. To properly test an alternator, you need to measure the voltage and current out. Many auto parts stores have testers to do this if you take the alternator in, or may have equipment to test the alternator on the car.
Quick Test: With a d. c. voltmeter, you can do a quick test to give you a clue. When idling, with accessories off, most cars will charge the battery from 13.2 to 15 volts. You can turn on some accessories, (or headlights) and the battery voltage should stay in this range. If the car has many accessories, you may need to rev up the engine a bit for the alternator to keep up with the load. If the output is low, it could be a bad alternator, bad regulator (often part of the alternator), bad connections (see batterm.htm ) , or a loose fan belt around the alternator. If the output is high, it is probably the result of a bad regulator, or connection.
Battery - A fully charged battery should measure about 12.3 to 13.2 volts with your engine off. The capacity of a battery drops as the temperature drops. The two main ratings on a battery are cold cranking amps and reserve capacity. (check the AutoTips battery links for details) There are still some battery types that require adding water. It is important to keep the terminals clean (see Battery Tips ) not only for starting, but so the charging system can work properly.
Brake Master Cylinder - Check the brake fluid on the tank on top of the master cylinder. Many auto makers recommend changing the brake fluid at regular periods. Brake fluid is rated for DOT (Department of Transportation) 3 or 4. Type 4 is a higher performance and should substitute for type 3. There are other types, in any case, check with your owners manual for the proper type. Through the brake cylinders, pressure is applied to the disk brake pads (below left), common on front wheels, and brake shoes (below right), common on the back wheels.
Coolant in the radiator should be checked when the engine is cool. Normally coolant is checked at the coolant recovery tank. Shown is the radiator cap, which should be checked to be clean and free of deposits.
EGR Valve - The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve mixes exhaust air with intake air, to re-burn some of the exhaust. This lowers peak burning temperature and helps emissions. Shown is a "digital" egr valve.
Cap, Rotor and Spark Plug Wires: - The Cap and Rotor are on cars with a distributor (under the cap and rotor). Many newer vehicles do not have a distributor, it has been replaced by a ignition coil pack or an ignition coil for each spark plug.. The distributor, cap & rotor can be inspected for burned contacts on the inside. You can clean the wires and extend their life, or replace them. Dust and dirt on the wire and end caps will hold moisture and form a conductive layer to the high voltage, which can drain away energy that should be going to your spark plugs. Resistor wires are used on most vehicles to reduce radio static, and reduce electrical noise from getting into the car computer. Do not replace resistor wires with non-resistor wires if your car calls for resistor type. Damage to the car's ignition system can result.
The Fan Motor for the radiator is a common replacement item. Mostly used on front wheel drive cars with a transverse mount engine. A coolant temperature sensor either controls the fan motor directly, or provides a signal to the computer, which turns on and off the fan as needed. On some cars, the fan motor will run whenever the air conditioning compressor is running as well. Shown are the motor, inside view with the windings on the rotor, and the magnets on the other half.
Fuel Injectors The photo shows the connectors which are on top of the fuel injectors. These generally last a long time, a frequent problem is clogging. To keep them clean, check your owners manual for approved injector cleaning fluid to add to the gas tank, and keep the fuel filter replaced. Ethanol, blended with some gasoline in some locations, also tends to keep the fuel system clean. The author has had several autos with 120,000 to over 150,000 miles and no fuel injector problems using ethanol blend fuels. (See Renewable Fuels Association or American Coalition for Ethanol for more information on ethanol. )
A Fuel Pressure Regulator is used in fuel injected vehicles to maintain a constant fuel pressure at the fuel injectors. Shown is one of several styles of pressure regulators.
The Ignition Control Module controls power
to the ignition coil on some cars, this type receives a signal from a
pickup coil located in the distributor. Cars with a multiple coil
pack and no distributor have another pickup sensor, sometimes called a
Spark plug wires are designed for the high voltage that fires the spark plug. The long end goes over the spark plug, and should be kept clean. Plug wire removal tools are available to remove the long boot from the plug without damage. Many newer vehicles do not have spark plug wires, instead a high voltage ignition coil is mounted directly above the spark plug. For more information, see the AutoTips Plug Wire page.
Other Fluids Shown in the photo are the
windshield washer fluid tank, coolant recovery tank, and power steering
fluid tank. On some cars, the power steering fluid reservoir is stored
on top of the power steering pump. Not shown is OIL level, to check on
PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valves, part of the emissions systems, usually connect to a vacuum hose. They can become sticky or the rubber grommets can harden and leak. A vacuum leak can cause rough idle and acceleration. A problem in the PCV valve can cause oil consumption. If you have had a sudden increase in oil consumption, and no signs of other oil leakage, or other problems, check the pcv valve.
Power Steering Pump: - The fluid level should be checked occasionally, some auto makers use Transmission Fluid, and some use Power Steering Fluid. The author has found changing old fluid in a car fixed a stiff steering problem that occurred for the first few blocks after a cold start (when temp was around 15 degrees F & below)
Relays are used to switch large currents with a small current. The photo shows an open relay outside the can.
Inside view of relay.
Sensors (see AutoTips Sensor Page) are used by the vehicle computer to read temperature, air pressure, oxygen content in the exhaust, vehicle speed and other factors used to calculate the fuel delivered to the engine and timing of the ignition, among other things.
Spark Plugs deliver the spark that ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. The ignitions systems typically produce sparks in the range of 20,000 to 30,000 volts that will arc across the small gap between the center and outer electrodes. Plugs come in Resistor and non-resistor types. One of the reasons for resistor type spark plugs is to reduce electrical noise in the system that would cause static on car radios.

We're introducing three deliciously sultry scents from our friends over at Strange Invisible Perfumes, just in time for fall! With the autumnal equinox behind us, we are certainly ready to bring on the intoxicating aromas of the harvest season. Celebrate with one of these amazing concoctions - like all their products, they smell wonderful!
BLACK ROSETTE - With notes of hydro-distilled rose, honey, black tea, leather and spearmint, Black Rosette manages to be both heady and grounded at the same time. This scent showcases the dark side of roses; it has serious depth, so forget about that shallow garden romp you're used to. It opens with the decadent scent of crushed rose petals, supported by the tenor harmonies of dried tea-leaves. The Moroccan spearmint creates a simmering herbal lightness, while the baritone aroma of leather puts the bass notes into this symphony. Honey is the medium that rounds everything out, giving a sweetness that's pleasant, but not overbearing.
MAGAZINE STREET - Magnolia, vanilla, vetiver and botanical musk give Magazine Street (inspired by the city of New Orleans) it's sense of a luscious garden of riotous growth. The opulent sweetness of magnolia and vanilla is tempered by the herbal greenery of vetiver. It has a bold opening that fades into a gorgeous lightness. As the floral opening wanes slightly, it gives way to the nutty and woody aromas of botanical musk, which provides the subtle weight that gives this perfume it's languid appeal. Overall, the aroma has a delicious buttery texture redolent of luxuriant foliage cleansed by the rain, or of verdant wildness infused with historical depth.
PELOPONNESIAN - Peloponnesian contains the aromas of hydro-distilled orange and lime, cypress, orange flower, mountain sage honey, and botanical musk. This divine amalgamation evokes the stirring sea breezes of the Southern Greek islands. It opens on a shimmering citrus note, with the smoky, pine-like spice of cypress in the foreground. This potent medley is soon mitigated by the soothing sweetness of orange blossom, along with mellifluous mountain sage honey. The liquid balance between the fragrant citrus and the woody spice of herbal pungency is what makes this perfume a true masterpiece. It fades into a memory of the ancient traditions of the region, it's tang refined into the silken texture of Mediterranean vistas.

When you are not part of greek life, it is all too easy to make generalizations about it. Classic American films like “Animal House,” “Revenge of the Nerds” and “Van Wilder” have all embedded a particular fantasy of fraternity and sorority life into pop culture. Typically, this fantasy has two sides. On one is the bond of “sisterhood” and “brotherhood,” replete with letterman jackets, brick and ivy houses and future presidents. On the other is a cesspool of hazing-induced deaths, sexual assault and the perpetuation of 1950s “old boy’s club” ideologies.
It is hard to say exactly how much truth lies in these stereotypes. I only went to fraternity parties during my freshman year, and even then I only attended a small handful. Some of them were exactly what I expected: Playboy posters adorned every wall. Many rooms were filled with intoxicated students. Random people flooded through the doors. Fights broke out. Then again, most of the fraternities I went to were not like that at all. The friends I have that are fraternity or sorority members joined for the leadership, networking and service-learning opportunities — not for the partying. While I have never been interested in joining greek life, I can certainly understand why others would be.
It’s always upsetting when a fraternity faces sexual assault allegations, especially when it is at the school you attend. Just two years ago, University of Minnesota fraternities were home to three separate sexual assaults in the span of three weeks. Currently, the University chapter of Sigma Chi is facing two sexual assault allegations relating to incidents on Sep. 15. While warnings were issued and preventative measures were taken, it does not change the fact that every allegation leads more and more people to believe that the entire greek system should be removed from universities. To many, the very foundation that fraternities in particular are founded on is one of misogynist, androcentric values. This belief was described in a Nov. 7 letter to the editor titled, “Surprised by frat-related sexual assault?” While I agree with the author that fraternities need to be re-examined within a greater social context, I do not believe that “fraternities are in many ways like a perfect storm for sexual violence” — at least not all of them.
It is unfair to label all fraternity members as womanizing, alcoholic rapists. Over the years, many men have redefined what it means to be in a fraternity. Realistically, very few men join fraternities to fulfill the fantasy of a brotherhood solidified by binge drinking and preying on women. However, it would be extremely idealistic to say that absolutely none of them do. The importance of greek life varies from place to place. On Ivy League campuses, for example, fraternities in particular are part of the traditions of the campus.
In 2010, a YouTube clip of a Yale University Delta Kappa Epsilon pledging ritual went viral on campus. It featured pledges marching through Old Campus — home to many freshman women — chanting “No means yes! Yes means anal!” A female Yale student later wrote an article that stated, “Yale women are not new to fraternity misogyny, nor are we a stranger to our administration sitting on their hands and doing nothing absolutely about it.”
In late March of this year, Rolling Stone ran a feature titled “Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy: Inside Dartmouth’s Hazing Abuses.” In it, a former Sigma Alpha Epsilon member named Andrew Lohse exposes not only the horrific hazing practices that still actually happen — eating vomit omelettes, sitting in a box and being continually puked on — but also the high prevalence of sexual assault and the willingness of the administration to just let “boys be boys.” The author of the article states, “Nearly every woman I speak to on campus complains of the predatory nature of fraternities and the dangers that go beyond drinking.”
Unfortunately, these attitudes are not confined to the Ivies. Last December, the University of Vermont’s Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity came under fire for circulating a survey asking fraternity brothers whom they would like to rape. This fall, a former Wesleyan University student filed a lawsuit against the administration for failing to protect her after she was sexually assaulted at the Mu Epsilon Chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity — otherwise known around campus as the “Rape Factory.”
There are many, many more similar examples out there. It is a sad fact that all fraternities tend to get clumped together when things like this happen. It’s not fair to condemn all chapters for the actions of others. However, it is also unfair to ignore or excuse the problems that are obviously there for the sake of the houses that do not participate in horrifying practices. For every fraternity that rejects the frathouse fantasy, a story surfaces that suggests quite a few still work to embody it.
There is a wide discrepancy in fraternity sexual assault statistics. Some sources say 10 percent of college rapes happen in fraternities, while others go as high as 90 percent. These varying numbers correspond to the inconsistencies in fraternity culture. Some use greek life for good reasons, while others use it as an excuse for terrible behaviors. Some administrations punish accordingly, while others turn a blind eye. Some fraternities exist for community and opportunity, while others are entrenched in a tradition that endorses misogyny and sexual assault. Not all fraternities are the same, but this is perhaps the biggest problem. The greek system is based on kinship and a set of core values, but it is clear that these values are not shared by all.

Being laid off from a regular ol 8-5 kinda jobby job TOTALLY changes the way you listen to music, FYI. Before, my days were filled with spreadsheets and cubicles and computer speakers and new records. Now, my days are spent here, there and everywhere, so consumption is more intermittent and only the really really good stuff really really sticks.
That said, Menomena's new album Mines, which is out tomorrow on the wonderful Barsuk records, is some of the really really good stuff. It's obviously been a while since I've been inspired to write about a new record that I'm loving, but this is totally one of them - the perfect follow-up to 2007's Friend & Foe, which served as my head-over-heels-in-love introduction to the band. Like a carefully constructed web of intricately interlaced instrumentation, with sticky passages of percussion and pianos like dewdrops and the spider's melodic siren call at the center of it all, I feel like I'm still unraveling the album three years later, but I have to set it aside for the moment to turn my attention to Mines.
The other day, the boyfriend said that he thinks Mines is a better album than Friend & Foe, but I'll argue that the former is just the latter's perfect complement. More of what I fell for the first time, but maybe the web is a bit bigger this time around, a bit stronger, a bit more dappled with spots of sunshine and shade. It certainly makes me want to discover a way to clone my ears so that I can listen to Mines again and again WHILE I also give Friend & Foe another spin. Actually, while we're at it, I'd like to lend a third pair of ears to last year's Intuit by Ramona Falls, a side project of Menomena's Brent Knopf. Intuit was one of my favorite releases of 2009, but while it was exceptional, and certainly and obviously Menomena's sonic cousin, Mines is making me appreciate the extra note of urgency - and saxophone! - that appears in Menomena's work.
As always, regardless of what I think, check out Menomena's Mines for yourself. Just know that: (a) it's one of my favorite albums so far this year, (b) in the new landscape of unemployment it's soundtracking my days more than anything but LCD Soundsystem at the moment, and (c) were it not for the Summer of Guest DJs on Out the Other, I would be playing as many songs as possible from the album on the show tonight.
Mines is out tomorrow on Barsuk, and Menomena will be at the Mercy Lounge on Saturday, October 9. Pencil that one in, kids.

You’ve heard the stats by now. Research shows that email marketing is forty times more effective for acquiring new customers than Facebook and Twitter. Yes, forty.
Email marketing is certainly not dead, folks. It still has one of the highest engagement rates and returns on investment of any marketing strategy.
You’ve heard us talking about the importance of catchy subject lines, great content, and effective CTAs.
A great way to check if your email marketing efforts are worth it is to track your email open rates.
What are email open rates?
Email open rates are the percentage of emails that have been opened by your recipients after sending out a campaign.
You can calculate them simply by dividing the number of people who open the email by the number of emails that got delivered.
The number of emails delivered is the number of your emails that reached your subscribers’ inboxes. Obviously, emails that aren’t delivered can’t be opened, which is why this number isn’t included in the percentage.
Once you know your open rates for your recent email campaign, you can compare it to your previous open rates. You can then see what performs well and what doesn’t.
People are always saying that the money lies in your email list, but what good is a long list of subscribers if hardly any of them actually open your emails?
So, how do you get more people to open your email campaigns?
The key, of course, is to stand out in the inbox.
Here are 9 ways to get your readers opening:
1. Make your subject line beg to be opened
When it comes to increasing your email open rates, your subject line is everything.
This is the first thing your subscribers will see. Your job is to make it stand out. Try to be as creative, funny, relevant or personalised as you can. Stay away from the generic “November Newsletter”. *Yawn*
Test, test, test! Use A/B testing to your advantage and record your results. Keep sending the subject lines that work and stop sending the ones that don’t!
Here are some we liked from our own inboxes:
- “Good things come to those who shop!”
- “Can we tempt you to place an order?”
- “These new arrivals are veryyy cozy”
- “Something for everyone”
- “Did you hear? It’s ONLINE now too…”
For more ideas and examples of effective subject lines, download our Ultimate Subject Line Swipe File.
2. Introduce yourself
Don’t be shy!
It’s polite to introduce yourself when you meet someone for the first time. Your emails shouldn’t be any different.
Start as you mean to go on. An automated welcome email – or a series of them – is how you make your first impression. They build relationships with your readers from the get-go, and they set the tone for your future communications.
Welcome email campaigns generally have much higher email open rates. This is your chance to show your audience who you are and what you’re about, so make it count.
Tell your recipients what they can expect from your emails. Let them know how often you’ll be sending them, and the kind of content that they’ll be receiving.
The more transparent you are and the more information you give them about your business, the more likely they are to open your future email campaigns.
3. Make it personal
Make it sound like you’re speaking directly to the subscriber.
If you know their first name, use it. But don’t stop there.
As you would expect, the recipients will be much more likely to open and engage with an email if they feel like you understand them.
It will help you out to have a strong knowledge of your buyer persona. You should know their pain points and their desires, their likes and their dislikes.
More and more businesses are now starting to use artificial intelligence to create highly personalised emails. That’s because email personalisation works!
4. Create amazing content
Even though the content is inside your actual campaign, it’s still really important for your email open rates.
If your readers feel like the content is relevant and interesting, they’re more likely to engage with it and open your future emails.
If a subscriber doesn’t like your content, your emails could go straight in the trash. Reduce your email unsubscribe rates by creating awesome content that they won’t want to miss.
Include call-to-action buttons to direct them to valuable resources, like eBooks, webinars and blog posts.
The key is to make sure that your readers don’t feel like you only send emails when there’s something in it for you. Give them something back every now and again. The higher the value that your content is to them, the more loyal they will become.
If it’s appropriate for your brand, a great idea is to be funny. Humour can help you to make an instant connection with your customers and your prospects. It will set your brand apart from other companies in their inboxes, and your email open rates will get higher.
5. It’s timely
Day or night? Weekday or weekend?
Email open rates depend a lot on the timing.
Try and stick to the schedule that you committed to in your welcome campaign.
What the best time to send is can be difficult to gauge. Your readers obviously won’t all have the same routines and habits. Test sending your emails at different times and see which achieves the best overall response.
6. Stay out of the spam folder
Another way to improve your email open rates is to avoid your campaigns being labelled as spam.
Spam filters are becoming more and more sophisticated.
It’s no good putting loads of effort and time into crafting the perfect email if it’s only going to end up in the spam folder.
So, you have to avoid sounding too spammy. Try to keep away from using words in your subject line like ‘sale’, ‘reminder’, ‘free’ and ‘x% off’. To learn more best practices for avoiding the spam folder, read our guide on ‘How to Improve Your Email Deliverability Rates‘.
7. Segment your list
Batch and blast is a thing of the past.
Your subscribers aren’t all the same. They have different likes, dislikes and pain points. They’re also different ages, from different locations and have different behaviours.
Segmentation helps you to personalise your marketing and to narrow your audience.
Create meaningful segments and communicate with them accordingly. Look at your email metrics to see which content your subscribers have engaged with in the past. Without segmenting, you can’t offer relevant, tailor-made content to your readers.
An email marketing platform can help you to segment your list.
You can add tags based on behaviour, such as their purchase behaviour. This way, you can send different emails to paying customers than the ones you would send to new leads, who haven’t bought anything yet.
You could even go one step further and send different emails based on specific products that your customers have purchased.
The more relevant your campaigns are, the higher your email open rates will be.
8. Keep your list clean
Do your subscribers still want to hear from you?
On a regular basis, you should remove inactive subscribers from your list or emails with a hard bounce.
An inactive subscriber could be anyone who hasn’t engaged with any of your emails in the last six months or so.
Sometimes, people may change email accounts, or maybe they just aren’t that into you anymore.
However, before you get rid of them for good, you should try sending a re-engagement email to see if there’s any way you can keep hold of them.
Alternatively, you could check back with your subscribers once in a while. Ask them if they want to update their information or their preferences.
Understanding your audience is critical to getting the email open rates that you want.
9. Be mobile-friendly
More than half of all internet traffic now comes from a mobile device.
You simply can’t afford to ignore your mobile readers. If your company’s emails don’t read well on a mobile, then you’re in trouble.
It’s now easier than ever to simply swipe and delete an email. It’s essential to make sure that your emails translate well.
Nothing will make a subscriber look for an exit option quicker than an email that’s distorted and difficult to read.
Consider the facts that mobile screens are obviously smaller, and less of your subject lines will be viewable.
When your emails display well on a mobile, your email rates will improve.
Using an email marketing platform will tell you the devices which your emails are being viewed on.
Watch your email open rates increase
Stay away from the same approach that everyone else uses. Don’t be afraid to try new techniques.
Get creative, and step outside of your comfort zone. And remember, keep testing!

In this episode Nicole and Sarah host ski mom Brenda Dragon, the President & Founder of Aurora Heat.
Brenda was raised in Fort Smith in the Northwest Territories, Canada (look it up on a map!). Brenda has loved skiing her whole life, there is mostly Nordic skiing in the Fort Smith area. Brenda taught her children to ski and it was always a favorite family activity. After raising her family and working in different industries, Brenda decided to take the plung and start her own company, Aurora Heat.
Brenda tells us about Aurora Heat, which started with the idea that natural and reusable products are best - for both function and the environment. Brenda saw the waste that comes from single-use products (like disposabe handwarmers), and looked to her family’s fur trapping heritage for a solution. We loved learning about Brenda’s parent’s fur trapping history and what it meant to her family.
Today, Aurora Heat makes a variety of sustainable, reusable, natural fur based products to keep you warm - from head to toe. They have natural hand warmers, foot warmers, ankle warmers and more.
Aurora Heat also provides jobs in a community where there are limited employment opportunities. The company gives back to the community through a number of social impact programs.
Nicole loves her Aurora Heat handwarmers (with thumb insert), she’s been using them all winter and can’t stop talking about them! Get yours below and use our discount code for 10% off.

Clinic //2 explores the diminishing digital interface layer and technology’s effect on our reality. Digital emulation continually strives to become indecipherable from real-world existence. Where does your reality stop and simulation begin?
We live in an interface culture; endless interaction through screens, cameras and sensors. Pursuing the most natural experience, technology is paradoxically engineering itself into transparency. Through a collaborative multi-sensory experience, Clinic unveils unique artworks, designs, and immersive installations demonstrating the bridging of these two worlds.
Digital design agency, Vitamin London, have several artists lined up including; Laura Yuile, Neus Torres Tamaril, Lesley-Ann Daly, Pauline Batista and Keiken Collective!
They also have two special ticketed late night events on the Wednesday and Friday featuring DJs including Teje, Beatgatherers, Resis’dance, Siren, CLU.
‘Clinic //2’ forms part of the London Design Festival 2017 programme at Oxo Tower Wharf.

An overflowing washing machine isn’t the only unpleasant surprise that can occur when you’re doing laundry. Finding a sopping wet pile of clothes as you’re about to transfer a load to the dryer is rather unpleasant, but it happens all too often.
What should you do if your washing machine isn’t draining properly?
Usually the problem is with the washing machine itself, though it can be caused by a clogged drainage tub.
Problems with the Washing Machine
If the issue is the machine, it’s likely a drain tube clog or a bad pump. If the drain tube is clogged the water will have nowhere to go. To test for a drain clog problem, remove the drain tube and see if it’s clear by blowing air through it. If there are no obstructions, the issue is likely the pump.
If the pump isn’t working, water cannot eject from the machine at the end of the cycle. A plumber can help you repair the pump if you think that’s the problem.
Problems with the Drain
In some cases, the problem will be outside of the washing machine entirely. If you have a clog in your drain, you’ll likely notice water flooding onto the floor whenever you do laundry. If the problem is the pump or drainage tube, you’re unlikely to have flooding. In this case, clearing the drain will likely resolve the problem.
Though clearing a washing machine clog isn’t the messiest of plumbing jobs, most homeowners lack the equipment to ensure a complete clog clear. In some cases, you’ll need a fairly long snake to clear the drain.
The good news is most washing machine drainage issues can be alleviated without buying an all new washing machine. It just takes a bit of trial and error to determine what’s causing the problem, and then calling a plumber to fix whatever issue you find.
If you need help with a washing machine that won’t drain or you have questions about a problem with your washer, give us a call!

We’re very proud of our town – and all the work so many dedicated volunteers give to our community groups and organisations. None more so than the team behind Cupar in Bloom. This year, they’ve excelled themselves and, as a result, have been shortlisted in Scotland’s Most Beautiful High Street.
Six towns from across Scotland have been shortlisted. Organised by the environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful and national towns agency Scotland’s Towns Partnership, the competition celebrates civic pride in our towns and the groups who come together and work to change their communities for the better: “making local places clean, attractive, accessible, sustainable, vibrant and inclusive for all to enjoy”.
Each shortlisted town – Cupar, Denny, Inverurie, Jedburgh, Linlithgow and Turriff – was selected by judges from STP and KSB amid a field of very high quality entries, each of which was commended for the positive work being undertaken in the community.
The winner will be decided by an online public vote. Voting closes at midnight on Wednesday 31st October, and the results will be announced during Scotland’s Towns Week (19 – 25 November). The winner of the competition will receive national attention and an opportunity to present their work at a high profile event with town and policy stakeholders.
Phil Prentice, Chief Officer of Scotland’s Towns Partnership, said of this year’s competition: “Now in its second year, we’re excited to be on the hunt for Scotland’s Most Beautiful High Street once more”. Phil adds: “Scotland’s Towns and smaller settlements account for 70% of our population. Aside from their significant economic contribution in terms of commerce and employment, they provide a living record of our history and heritage. We need to celebrate our towns and empower our communities to ensure that Scotland’s towns remain vibrant and continue to play a vital role in our nation’s future.”
Pete Leonard, Operations Director at Keep Scotland Beautiful, commented: “A flourishing high street is a symbol of an active, engaged community. We know that good quality environments are good for businesses. We also know that working together, we can all enjoy cleaner, greener and more sustainable spaces”.
Here’s what Cupar in Bloom submitted …
Cupar in Bloom, would like to nominate the Royal Burgh of Cupar which dates back to the 14th Century and has, at its heart, our Mercat Cross at the junction with St Catherine Street, Crossgate and Bonnygate (Photo 1). St Catherine Street links our beautiful Haugh Park with its well-appointed playpark, exercise area, riverside walk, bandstand and War Memorial – affectionately known as ‘The Angel’ (Photo 2) and also features the historic County Buildings, recently restored Burgh Chambers and the Corn Exchange. To the south of the Mercat Cross is the Crossgate, which hosts monthly farmers markets, the annual Christmas Lights switch-on and leads on to a pedestrian community space with floral displays and seating well used by locals and visitors alike.
Fife Council and Cupar in Bloom worked together this year for the Glow for Gold Campaign, as reflected in the colour scheme for the Council themed beds in the Haugh Park and Cupar in Bloom’s 160 hanging baskets. Cupar in Bloom also maintain the planting at Cupar Railway Station which includes a Heritage Garden with sustainable planting and a small “help yourself” herb bed. A hat trick of awards, (Gold, Best Medium Town and Horticultural Achievement) were won at the Beautiful Fife Competition by the group.
Cupar has many strong community groups such as local Scouts, Guides etc, the ‘Y’ Young Gardeners Club, Cupar Rotary Club, Sustainable Cupar, CDT, Cupar Heritage as well as active primaries, and the secondary school hosting an annual ECO day in which the local SEN school participates. The townspeople are always supportive of any group which holds events in the town, anything from the annual duck race to apple pressing. Cuparians are a great bunch and they love their town!
Thanks for reading!

I recently received a survey request from Mark Pryor asking for opinions on things such as Iraq, National Security, an minimum wage. I was hesitant to answer several questions because they seemed unfairly skewed. For instance, one question was, "Do you believe we are on the right track in Iraq?" Well… things aren’t getting any better there. It’s an obvious no. But I don’t believe we’re wrong for being there. I don’t believe we’re on the wrong track. I think we’re on the right track, we’re just going about it in a wrong and ineffective way. I, for one, am pretty darn excited about new leadership at the DOD. The next question was whether or not we should get neighboring countries to help rebuild Iraq. Sure! But what neighbors are you talking about? Here’s the letter:
Dear Senator Pryor,
I want to thank you for your survey that I recently filled out. I trust that you will take to heart what your constituents tell you regarding future policies. I would like to make a minor complaint about the survey though. I believe that you answers are being unfairly skewed towards responses that you want to hear on a few points. Most notably in regards to Iraq. For instance, is it not possible to believe that we are on the right track in Iraq, but that we’re doing it the wrong way? I do not want to say we are handling Iraq correctly, because I don’t believe we are. But I don’t think we’re totally on the wrong track either. I do want you to know that I do not support any immediate plans on withdrawal.
I also think that anyone would be a fool to say that they did not wish for neighboring countries to help rebuild Iraq and reform it. But I know that the inclusion of Syria and Iran are hot button issues right now, and I believe that is what you are referring to. Senator Pryor, please know that we can not deal with nations who harbor terrorists within their countries, and who fund terrorist organizations. Especially not Iran, who has been developing nuclear weapons and who has vowed to destroy our ally, Israel.
That being said, I would hope that the less extreme countries in the region, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, and Jordan would be encouraged by our leadership to join in the reformation of the Iraqi government and economic system.
Again, Mr. Pryor, I thank you for your service to our state, and your willingness to listen to the voters. I am praying for you.
And there you have it. I’d like to encourage everyone to take this survey. It was only sent out to recipients of his mailing list, which I doubt includes many conservative voices. Even though he’s a libby, he’s still OUR representative. He’s a servant of the people. Let us all make our voice heard!

- Our Party
- 2014 Races
- Take Action
This past Saturday, Democrats from across the state gathered to participate in the District Delegation Convention to choose their representatives to the 2012 DNC Convention in Charlotte, NC, where we will once again nominate President Barack Obama to be the Democratic nominee for our party.
After the votes were all counted, we’ve ended up with one of the most diverse delegations ever!
In District 5, Democrats chose the first Latino ever to be selected on the district level in Tennessee, Ivan Cerda, a young and enthusiastic Democrat from Nashville.
In District 7, Democrats selected Credo Amouzouvik, an African immigrant and combat-wounded Iraq war veteran who is not only representing the 7th District at the DNC Convention, but will also be representing the district as the Democratic nominee to take on Marsha Blackburn’s reckless policies and indifference to the needs of her district.
These are just a couple examples out of many excellent delegates, some new (14 are 34 yrs old or younger) and some who have a proud tradition of representing their districts at the Democratic National Convention.
Here is the list of all delegates elected from the convention.
|District 1||District 2||District 3|
|Jennie Carter||Gloria Johnson||Jan Brooks|
|Mickii Carter||Linda Haney||Salley Love|
|Cathey Dayton||Judy Lee||Carl Brackin|
|William McKamey||Brandon Cook||Joda Thongnopnua|
|Mike Lane||Jerome Miller||Richard Dawson|
|District 4||District 5||District 6|
|Helen Stapleton||Freda Player||Kimberli Rose-Jensen|
|Lisa Bilbrey||Kathleen Murphy||Kay Kemnitz|
|Lenda Sherrell||Brenda Glimore||Mary Evins|
|Lynn Nelson||Ivan Cerda||Janet Moore (Alt)|
|R.G Cravens||Phil Robinson||Jared Barrett|
|Walter Hunt||Darrell Bouldin|
|Romel McMurry||Zach Young|
|Rodriquez Wright (Alt)|
|District 7||District 8||District 9|
|Meryl Rice||Najanna Coleman||Virgie Banks|
|Patsy Lewis||Angela Callis||Lexie Carter|
|Merriel Neal||Nicole Crist||Freda Williams|
|Dave Cambron||Heather Mummert||Zayid Saleem|
|Toney Campbell||Robert “Gus” Radford||Van Turner|
|Credo Amouzouvik||Charles Uffelman||William Stovall (Alt)|
|James Braswell (Alt)||Jim Midyett||James Jim Johnson|
On March 31st, before Jackson Day, the Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee will meet in Nashville to round out the delegation with Pledged Leaders and Elected Officials (PLEO) and At-large candidates.

Have you heard of a boat being haunted?
We seem to have an invisible sadistic electrician on board and his sense of humour is just not funny.
After the winter lay up we had a winch that would start on its own for no reason at all. Having wd40'd the switch and used it a few times it seems to be cured.
Then, at 4am this morning the electric toilet decided to switch itself on. By the time the mad whirring woke me up and I got to it and pulled the fuse it was smoking and smelly.
Why should electrical items turn themselves on for no reason what so ever.
Has similar things happened to others or have I got a ghost?

I forgot to add that he eats all the chocolate biscuits, drinks my beer and seems to pee around the side of the toilet in the boys heads. They categorically deny any of the above has anything to do with them and agree to the theory we have a ghost.

This thread potentially relates to a previous thread.
Is it ghosts, or the boat's personality?Living the dream!

I can recall a stormy passage when my 2 crew were below totally incapacitated and I was alone on deck on the helm and became aware of the presence of my late father behind my right shoulder just keeping me company.

No, I have decide that I am being stupid and there is no more a ghost on board my boat than there is a virgin over 16 in Essex.
I have to be logical about this and realise that it is actually my boat speaking to me. She has heart and soul and listens to me so I have to listen to her.
I also need the person who forgot the toilet is not working to own up and no it is not funny to make a cocktail stick mast for the battleship you left in there!

If it means I can continue to go sailing even after I am dead, then I intend to haunt Angele until eternity (or whenever Angele is scrapped, whichever comes sooner).

Apple is wading into uncertain territory with its smartwatch, which is an entirely new product category for the company and one that doesn’t seem immediately necessary for most people to buy. Though the same could be said of pretty much any tech gadget, the Apple Watch’s high price point—some models cost as much as an entry-level car—has many people asking: Why do I need one?
Well, you don’t, according to early reviews from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and other mainstream outlets. But that doesn’t mean you won’t want one. Apple opens up preorders for Apple Watch on Friday, so these advance looks at the watch from major publications are designed to show everyone why the Watch is worth buying. And for some, it might not be. But these early reviews indicate that the Apple Watch is a beautiful, useful device, even if it’s not a necessity.
“The watch is not life-changing,” Bloomberg’s Joshua Topolsky writes. “It is, however, excellent. Apple will sell millions of these devices, and many people will love and obsess over them.”
“Apple Watch strives for high fashion, but it still looks like a techie watch,” says Re/code’s Lauren Goode. “Even if you can easily swap out the basic, smooth plastic band for a more elegant one—the $149 leather band, the $149 Milanese loop or the $449 link bracelet—the face looks kind of like a miniature iPhone. With that said, I’ve worn my fair share of smartwatches and none are as good-looking as Apple Watch.”
Other reviewers noted that the Watch is thicker than expected, but the display is gorgeous and easily beats out other smartwatches on the market.
The user interface
The Apple Watch user interface doesn’t mimic the iPhone. The new experience requires a mix of Digital Crown, Force Touch, and swiping to see notifications and glances, which presents a learning curve, says The Verge’s Nilay Patel: “These are radically different interface patterns than iOS, where you can access the notification center and control center from virtually everywhere, and it makes navigating the Watch interface more confusing until you get it.”
Yahoo’s David Pogue agrees: “The truth is, navigation is a big Watch weakness. There aren’t any visual clues that more options are waiting if you force-press, or that anything will happen when you turn the knob. You eventually learn, but only by trial and error. And every time you force-press or turn the knob and nothing happens, you feel like a dolt.”
The fitness features
Some of us are most excited to see how Apple Watch stacks up to other wearables in the fitness-tracking department. Re/code’s Lauren Goode says it’s even better than expected: “The most interesting observation from my workouts so far is that the heart-rate readings I’m getting from the Apple Watch during indoor cycling are very close to the readings I’ve gotten from a chest monitor. I haven’t yet seen the kind of wildly-erratic readings that I’ve experienced with other health watches that measure heart rate through the wrist.”
Few reviewers actually put the Watch through its fitness paces, so we still have a ton of questions about using the Watch as a fitness tracker that we’ll answer when we buy our own on April 24.
The taptic engine
The Watch is designed to be discreet, so you can digest nuggets of information without having to whip out your phone to check notifications. That’s why Apple designed the taptic engine, which enables the Watch to lightly tap you when notifications come in. This feature is the New York Times’s Farhad Manjoo’s favorite part: “The Apple Watch’s most ingenious feature is its ‘taptic engine,’ which alerts you to different digital notifications by silently tapping out one of several distinct patterns on your wrist. As you learn the taps over time, you will begin to register some of them almost subconsciously.”
Ben Bajarin of Techpinions offers a useful example of how the taptic engine’s notifications can work in unexpected ways: “When walking down the street to a meeting in San Francisco, I used the Watch to guide me there. The Apple Watch has a different taptic pattern for going left and for going right. This way, I didn’t need to lift my wrist to look at the display to know which way to go. The implications of these different types of notifications based on feel are unexplored territory.”
Apple Watch relies on your iPhone to do the heavy lifting, which Bloomberg’s Topolsky found problematic at times: “One of the crucial pain points I experienced was this constant, subtle battle with myself over whether to engage a notification on my watch or handle it on my phone.”
But the Watch can also function minimally on its own if it finds wireless connectivity, says Yahoo’s Pogue: “Here’s a surprising feature that Apple hasn’t said anything about previously: When the Watch is in a known WiFi hot spot, the watch can perform the most essential online functions even when your phone is completely dead, turned off, or absent. It can query Siri, for example, send and receive texts, and send/receive drawings and tap patterns to other Watch owners. That’s impressive.”
Relying on the iPhone to grab information means that sometimes, the Watch is slow, says The Verge’s Patel: “Sometimes pulling location information and data from your iPhone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi takes a long time. Sometimes apps take forever to load, and sometimes third-party apps never really load at all. Sometimes it’s just unresponsive for a few seconds while it thinks and then it comes back. Apple tells me that upcoming software updates will address these performance issues, but for right now, they’re there, and they’re what I’ve been thinking about every morning as I get ready for work.”
That was a common theme in the early Apple Watch reviews. The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern also said the watch’s dependence on iPhone can be a killer: “The Apple Watch doesn’t have cellular connection, so you’ll need a companion iPhone nearby for many of its functions to work. Sometimes, though, that arrangement is painfully slow: The maps app, surely the answer to wandering pedestrians’ dreams, is so slow it makes me want to pull out my paper Rand McNally.”
The one thing that could have killed Apple Watch if Apple didn’t get it right was the watch’s battery life. But the watch does indeed last all day, says Stern: “The battery lives up it its all-day billing, but sometimes just barely. It’s often nearly drained at bedtime, especially if I’ve used the watch for exercise. There’s a power-reserve mode that can make it last a few hours longer, but then it only shows the time.”
USA Today’s Ed Baig ran out of battery, but maybe due to user error: “Add Apple Watch to the list of devices you best charge nightly. Still, Apple’s claim of 18 hours between charges seems accurate based on my pretty heavy daily usage. I only ran out of battery once, on my first full day of testing. I’m guessing the watch might not have been properly aligned the night before with the proprietary magnetic charging cable because I’ve had plenty of daily juice since.”
How it stacks up to other smartwatches
The reviews answered some of our other questions, like how seamlessly Apple Pay would work (answer: more seamlessly than on the iPhone) and how the watch’s screen would look in glaring sunlight (answer: crystal clear). We also wanted to know how Apple Watch compares to its Android Wear rivals, which were first out of the gate. The answer:
“Of the half-dozen smartwatches I’ve tested in recent years, I’ve had the best experience with Apple Watch,” said Re/code’s Lauren Goode. “If you’re an iPhone power user and you’re intrigued by the promises of wearable technology, you’ll like it, too.”
We'll have our own review of Apple Watch very soon, so stay tuned.

Armenian law enforcement has opened an investigation into claims that a former high-ranking security official, at the behest of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, had tried to extort money from a former regime figure.
The explosive allegations were made by Mikayel Minasyan, the son-in-law of former president Serzh Sargsyan and a former Armenian ambassador to the Vatican. On May 2, he posted a video on Facebook, filmed in his kitchen and titled “Me, Vanetsyan and Pashinyan: rejected offer.”
In the video, Minasyan claimed that the former head of the National Security Service, Artur Vanetsyan, had approached him in Rome and made a proposal on Pashinyan’s behalf. “We have an offer: you pay a sum to some foundation, we will discuss how, after that you never come to Armenia, at least in the near future,” Minasyan said that Vanetsyan told him.
The offer also allegedly included Minasyan trying to quiet down the constant criticism that has been coming from figures connected to the former regime since Pashinyan took over in 2018. And in exchange, criminal charges against Minasyan would be dropped. (On April 22, Minasyan was indicted on charges including money laundering.)
“All the people who listen to you, you are very important to them, they stop fighting against Nikol Pashinyan, you live happily, outside of Armenia, and at the very moment that we come to an agreement all criminal cases and persecutions will be stopped,” Minasyan said Vanetysan told him.
This kind of accusation might not normally be given much credence, given the source, but it has emerged that the Special Investigative Service (SIS) appears to be taking it seriously. On May 7, Vanetsyan – who was appointed by Pashinyan shortly after the latter’s rise to power and then resigned last year – reported that he had been summoned to the SIS. His lawyer declined to give details of the questioning: “A legal procedure is underway and we will refrain from further comments,” the lawyer, Lusine Sahakyan, wrote on her Facebook page.
Local media then sussed out that a formal investigation was underway. An SIS spokeswoman, Marina Ohanjanyan, confirmed to the newspaper Armenian Times on May 13 that a case was initiated under an article on “using an official position contrary to the interests of the state or failure to perform official duties.”
Although Minasyan’s video went viral, and the accusations have been widely discussed, Pashinayn has maintained a conspicuous silence on the affair. “Pashinyan isn’t confirming or denying, which complicates his position,” said political analyst Vigen Hakobyan in an interview with the government-friendly news site 1in.am. “If it is to be denied, why neither confirm or deny it? It raises questions.”
Vanetsyan resigned in September 2019, with a cryptic message implying that he strongly opposed what Pashinyan was doing. Since then, he has become a frequent public critic of the government, at times suggesting that he has inside information that he may some day share.
Vanetsyan also hasn’t spoken publicly about the claims, but in a February press conference he did mention meeting with Minasyan in Rome. “I know Mikael Minasyan but we were never friends… Last time I saw him when I was the head of the NSS, with the knowledge of Nikol Pashinyan and with the instruction of Nikol Pashinyan,” said Vanetsyan, adding that only three people – himself, Pashinyan, and Vanetsyan – knew the content of the meeting, which he emphasized by demonstratively counting on his fingers.
The SIS is headed by Sasun Khachatryan, a Pashinyan loyalist. He was featured in another scandalous intrigue in 2018, when leaked phone calls between him and Vanetsyan appeared to show Pashinyan getting involved in prosecutions of former regime officials.

A parent told me this recently and I had to laugh. And agree.
Every sleep book out there will tell you to put your child down in the crib “drowsy but awake.”
And parents the world over strive for this goal and then wonder what they are doing wrong when they carefully rock or feed their baby to a state of drowsy calm, gently place said baby in the crib… and the baby erupts in angry howls of protest.
Parents, it’s not your fault.
It’s bad advice.
Forget you ever heard “drowsy but awake.” It doesn’t work.
You have two choices. You either feed/rock/bounce/walk your child fully to sleep, or you put them down fully awake.
If you do the former, your child will more than likely wake up at some point, wonder where your loving arms -- the last thing they remember -- went, and start to cry for you to come back and repeat the process. It’s not your child’s fault. He or she just doesn’t know how to put themself back to sleep.
Imagine if you went to sleep in your cozy bed, surrounded by fluffy pillows and your soft comforter, and woke up on the hard living floor. You wouldn’t know how to go back to sleep either.
The same is true for your child. If she went to sleep in your warm embrace, she doesn’t know how to go back to sleep without the same conditions.
This is why I always recommend putting your child in his bed fully awake. If this is new to him, yep, he’s probably going to cry.
But not because he’s afraid, or feeling abandoned (pro tip: children can’t even understand the concept of abandonment before late toddlerhood), or in pain, never mind traumatized.
He’s crying because he’s tired and he doesn’t know what to do, becuase you’ve always helped before, and he’s probably angry that you’ve changed up the routine that he liked so much.
Imagine if someone told you, “from now on, you will no longer be having coffee in the morning. Good luck.” You’d be pissed as hell. And so is your confused kiddo. And being that he’s so little, you can’t explain.
Don’t feel guilty. He’ll get over it. The best thing you can do to help him is to be strong and consistent. Don’t cave. Ever. Well, at least not two weeks. Otherwise, all that crying will be for naught. After two weeks, once the new habit is strong, you can make the occasional exception.
I promise that if you stay strong, he’ll get it, and not only that, he’ll be happier than ever!
Of course, if you are able to rock/feed/bounce/walk your child to sleep and she stays asleep, rock on. (No pun intended.) But if that was working for you, you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog post.
This is not an easy transition. Be kind to yourself. Know that it's supposed to be hard. Remember when you started a new exercising or organizing or flossing habit? It was super hard at first, right? But then you started to get used to it and little by little, it got easier and easier until it was second nature, at least most of the time.
The same is true for your child. She'll get there. She just needs time and your loving consistency.
You don't have to make the change alone. Let me help. Set up a free discovery call and let's get your family the sleep you deserve. You got this!

As if I needed another reason to adore Scarlett Johansson, I came across these pictures of her in the Spring LV campaign. I love the style of these photos with a porcelain type finish. Dior is doing something similar this season with color that looks like it came straight off of the white range of a paint store.
Scarlett is a mix of natural beauty and imperfection. She has such a reality to her voice, style, attitude. I imagine Scarlett is cool and smooth, but can still be the girl that text messages a guy too much after a breakup and regrets it.

Linux Kernel 4.8.9 Adds SunRPC and s390 Improvements, Lots of Updated DriversNov 21, 2016, 07:00 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Marius Nestor)
Just four days after the release of Linux kernel 4.8.8, Greg Kroah-Hartman announces on the 19th of November the availability of the ninth maintenance update in the stable series, which currently powers several rolling distributions, including the popular Arch Linux, Solus, and openSUSE Tumbleweed. Linux kernel 4.8.9 is a fairly normal point release that changes a total of 97 files, with 725 insertions and 399 deletions. Looking at the appended shortlog and the diff since Linux kernel 4.8.8, we can notice that Linux kernel 4.8.9 comes with an updated networking stack that includes multiple improvements for the SunRPC remote procedure call protocol, along with some minor Netfilter, B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced, and Ceph fixes, an workaround to the -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for NFS v4.1 filesystems, and a few sound stack updates.

Ronald Reagan was the 40th president of the United States. While there are many who can recall Reagan as both an actor and as the governor of California, younger Americans don’t know much about this man prior to his presidency. Most currently working on an undergraduate degree weren’t even alive to witness any part of his presidency, having only learned about him in history and civics classes. Most people are aware that President Reagan was a Republican; however, few Gen-Z are aware that until 1962, Reagan was a Democrat. While his shift in politics isn’t particularly note worthy, the fact that within two years of his change in party affiliation, he was catapulted from a B-movie actor to a Republican political contender. “A Time for Choosing,” commonly referred to as “The Speech, “is a speech that was researched and written by Ronald Reagan, himself (Edwards, 2014). On October 27, 1964, Reagan delivered his very impassioned speech in support of the then presidential candidate, Barry Goldwater. This thirty minute, nationally televised speech raised one million dollars for the Goldwater campaign (Cannon, 2004). It also raised Goldwater’s voter percentage, but not enough to give him a win in his presidential race. Reagan meant for the speech to bolster the floundering Goldwater campaign; however, it is seen as the event that launched Reagan’s political career (Schweizer, 2007, p. 42). In 1966, Reagan was elected the Governor of California, a post that the Republican party would not have supported him for had it not been for the speech he gave in 1964. Reagan’s almost instantaneous political success due to this single moment in time, with this single thirty minute speech warrants rhetorical analysis. This paper will study how the five facets of Kenneth Burke’s “Dramatism” caused this speech to affect Reagan’s career and political discourse at the time.
“A Time for Choosing” was a speech that was perfected over the course of eight years. Reagan adjusted the speech as he interacted with employees at various General Electric facilities and factories. As his experiences changed his philosophies, “The Speech” evolved.
This analysis will utilize Burke’s “Dramatism.” Burke claims that any human situation can be described by answering five questions. These questions include: what was done (act), when or where was it done (scene), who did it (agent), how he did it (agency), and why (purpose) (Burke, 1945 p. xv). The pentad is a valuable critical method. Its relevance is particularly clear when applied to “The Speech.” It would be exceptionally easy to answer the question of who the agent was regarding “A Time for Choosing” if Ronald Reagan’s name was simply given as the man who delivered the speech; however, the pentad requires a more detailed look at the speaker and how his background and experiences relate to the other questions in the pentad. The pentad also requires a more detailed exploration of the speaker’s agency.
“The Speech” was the launch of Reagan’s Republican political career. Reagan both researched and wrote “The Speech.” To analyze this speech, it is necessary to understand the author, and then to focus on the development of his rhetoric. Ronald, the second son of John and Nelle Reagan was born on February 6, 1911 in Tampico, Illinois. His father, was an itinerant shoe salesman who moved his family from town to town before finally settling down in Dixon, Illinois. Ronald and his older brother, Neal, attended high school in Dixon, and regarded it as their hometown. In 1965, Reagan published an autobiography, “Where’s the Rest of Me?”, in which he describes his childhood as “a rare Huck Finn idyll” – indicating that he had a childhood remotely similar to Huck Finn. Reagan also related that his father’s drinking was a recurrent problem throughout his childhood. Reagan’s family was almost destroyed by the Depression. Jack Reagan had to close his shoe store. Reagan’s mother had to go to work at a dress shop earning fourteen dollars per week. Reagan worked for seven summers as a lifeguard. After graduating high school, he attended Eureka College near Peoria, Illinois. He was an indifferent student, but he very much enjoyed being a radio announcer. Ronald Reagan graduated from college in the depths of the Depression. His mother, father, and older brother were surviving on his mother’s. Reagan ultimately landed a staff announcer’s job in Iowa, making one hundred dollars per month. Reagan’s older brother, described him as having a photographic memory. Reagan found that memorizing his lines before he went on air gave him the ability to sound more spontaneous. While covering the Chicago Cubs spring training in California, Reagan was given a screen test. He quit his radio job and moved to California in 1937.
During that same year, he made his film debut. In his early years, in California, Reagan was fairly liberal. During that time, he joined some publicly unacceptable groups like the United World Federalists. Upon discovering that the organizations he had associated with were communist fronts, he publicly withdrew his membership. Bill Boyarsky, in his biography of Reagan, discussed the change in Reagan’s political philosophy toward the conservative ethic and linked it to his clash with the Hollywood communists (Boyarsky, 1968 pp. 24-26). Reagan was elected president of the Screen Actor’s Guild twice. During his time as SAG president, he learned diplomacy and the art of negotiating (Reagan, 1965 p. 233). In 1954, Reagan moved from movies to television. He became the host of a television series for General Electric Corporation (Boyarsky, 1968 p. 99). This time in television was invaluable for Reagan. He reinforced his national image, and increased his exposure. Part of his contract with G.E. included travel and working as a motivational speaker at various G.E. plants and facilities. Reagan states that, more than television, his time speaking with G.E. employees is what really started changing his way of thinking (Reagan, 1965 pp. 262-264). In his autobiography, Reagan discussed the development of “The Speech,” stating: As the years went on, my speech underwent a kind of evolution, reflecting not only my changing philosophy but also the swiftly rising tide of collectivism that threatens to inundate what remains of our free economy. I don’t believe it was all just a case of my becoming belatedly aware of something that already existed; the last decade has seen a quickening of tempo in our government’s race toward a controlled society (Reagan, 1965 p. 266).
During his eight years of motivational speaking for G.E., he gave the same speech over and over. He made minor changes as his philosophy changes, but “A Time for Choosing” is the speech that he gave repeatedly during those eight years. By the time he gave “The Speech” for Goldwater in 1964, he had perfected it. The trials of Reagan’s youth instilled a conservative ethic that is deeply rooted. His years in the Hollywood movie arena built a lasting hatred of both communism and liberalism. These influences along with his nature and wholesome image have impacted his rhetoric which will be supported during the analysis of the speech. V. ACT / SCENE Without an understanding of act and scene, the critic would not be able to reach any conclusions about the success or failure of the speaker. In this criticism, the act was the delivery of “The Speech.” The scene was simply October 27, 1964, Ronald Reagan delivered a speech of his own composition on nationwide television (Shadegg, 1965 p. 252). As revealed in his biographical data, Reagan had several influences. Because of the impact of his childhood and his disillusionment with Hollywood, he developed a solid conservative ethic and an absolute hatred for communism and liberalism. Reagan’s all-American, “small town boy who made good” image simply strengthens his appeal.
While this scene could be reduced to simply the T.V. studio, it would be lacking in substance. As this speech was delivered in support of Barry Goldwater, it is important to note that Reagan did not give this speech on his own behalf. Goldwater became the voice of frustrated Americans. Goldwater’s campaign was floundering due mostly to the fact that he was not able to relate his message to the people. Goldwater was known for making statements that scared people. Reagan was the perfect person to deliver a motivational speech for the Goldwater campaign. The fact that he had been giving the same speech with slight differences gave him a comfort level that relayed to the viewing audience. “The Speech” was Reagan’s political debut. A detailed analysis of act and scene is relevant and necessary. VI. PURPOSES / RHETORICAL PROBLEMS Every speech is a creative effort to produce that arrangement of appropriate ingredients that will best serve the speaker’s purpose (Cathcart, 1966 p. 4) When Reagan finally delivered “The Speech” for Goldwater, it had been perfected to Reagan’s primary purpose. His position on the Goldwater campaign, in California, was that of “fund raiser” which was aided by Reagan’s celebrity status. However, there may have been additional reasoning for selecting Reagan. By October of 1964, Goldwater had developed serious image problems. It appears that Reagan may have been selected to deliver the speech because his message was very similar to Goldwater’s, and there may have been hope that the image barrier could be penetrated.
Reagan faced several rhetorical problems in attempting to raise money, deliver an appeal for conservative ethics, and circumvent Goldwater’s barriers. Goldwater was seen as a dangerous right wing radical with an ineffective conservative message. The Goldwater committee saw Reagan’s job as simply promoting Goldwater; however, Reagan had his own image problem to address. Reagan felt that the political arena was closed to him because he was an actor. Reagan had two very diverse purposes. First, he must penetrate the hostility surrounding Goldwater. Second, and more importantly for Reagan, he needed to change his “actor” image.
Kenneth Burke suggested that an examination of the agency would ask questions like what “means or instruments” were used by the speaker, or how did the speaker attempt to accomplish his goals (Burke, 1965 p. xv). Reagan needed strategies that would affirm his own political image while promoting the Goldwater credo, fund raising, an circumventing the barriers to messages of conservative doctrine. Since Reagan was trying to change or create his personal image, Walter Fisher would describe his “motive situation” as one of “affirmation” (Fisher, 1970 p. 131)
Reagan used two strategies: condemnation and unification. Condemnation Reagan’s strategy was to condemn both liberal philosophy and big government.His purposes in this approach included the promotion of conservative ethic; he needed to promote Goldwater as the man to resolve the issues of big government; he needed to attack the liberal philosophy of President Johnson; and he needed to affirm his own political potential. The main focus of his speech was the attack on big government. Reagan divided the speech into areas. “The Liberal Philosophy: Planned Economy,” “Government Programs Self-Perpetuation,” “How well Does the Farm Program Work,” “ Social Security: Insurance Program or Tax?,” and “Foreign Aid: Cost vs. Accomplishment” (Reagan, 1964 pp. 1-10). The probability that his entire audience could identify with the values, morals, and ideals established in the Constitution, Reagan said: “The ‘power of centralized government’ was the very thing the founding fathers sought to minimize. They know that the government cannot control things. The government cannot control the economy without controlling people”(Reagan, 1964 pp. 2-3). Reagan presented the government as inefficient and unnecessarily large. Reagan painted a picture of a deceitful, inefficient, bungling government. Reagan overwhelmed his audience with statistics, a plethora of examples, over-simplification, and appeals to the public’s fear of loss of individualism.
Considering what was going on in the world at the time and the national climate, his appeals were well chosen. If Reagan’s evidence is examined closely, the strength of the appeals deteriorates. Additionally, he used “devil terms” and “God terms” ultimately making government a “devil term.” While Reagan may not have had proof of his assertions, he was never low on examples. He implied that the government was inefficiently giving away money and the public’s freedom. Considering that the Cuban missile crisis occurred in 1962, Reagan awakened old fears against socialism and communism. Reagan presented a formidable argument against the government and the liberal establishment. He also successfully created a mechanism to enhance his own political image. Once he completed his attack, Reagan needed to implement his second strategy. Unification Reagan’s unification strategy was a direct off-shoot of his condemnation strategy. Reagan smoothly discredited liberals while promoting the conservative doctrine. Implicitly stating his political message created an illusion of non-partisanship. He made an appeal for a fair hearing and unity in his opening statement.
Reagan’s approach appeared sensible to the average listener. Reagan used pride and patriotism in contrast to the fear of losing all America had achieved. Because the appeals for unification were hitting fears and values were held almost universally by all member of his audience, they transcended party lines. Even though one of the purposes for Reagan’s speech was to repair Goldwater’s image, there is little in content to indicate that Reagan made a serious attempt to purify Goldwater’s image. It appears that the person who reaped the greatest benefit from the appeals was Ronald Reagan. Given the analysis of the agency, and the social-political setting, a critical perspective has been constructed. Regan’s success or failure in overcoming his rhetorical problems can be evaluated.
Reagan had two purposes tied to image problems. He had to fulfill his responsibilities as a fund raiser, and he had to try to mitigate the hostility surrounding Barry Goldwater. Of most importance to Reagan was his desperate need to change his own image from that of a movie/T.V. cowboy to a politician. Burke suggested that you persuade through identification of attitudes proclaiming a unity among men (Bryant, 1958 pp 171-172). Though Goldwater and Reagan had identical conservative messages, Reagan was able to relate the message in a way that invited his audience to walk the path with him. A comparison of the Reagan v. Goldwater approaches, published in the Saturday Evening Post stated: There is not the faintest discernible difference between Reagan’s view on all major issues and Barry Goldwater’s. But there is all the difference in the world in how those views are expressed. Barry Goldwater used to say his say with a harsh candor which often made him sound like God’s angry man, and which certainly cost him millions of votes. Ronald Reagan is the television Good Guy come to life and his answers even to tough questions are about as harsh as pablum (Alsop, 1965 p. 18). Considering his telecast resulted in one million dollars in grass-roots contributions to the Goldwater campaign, and he overcame the public’s predisposition against a conservative message, it could be concluded that Reagan was successful. However, if Reagan’s purpose was to “purify” Goldwater’s image he failed. In The Making of the President in 1964, Theodore H. White said, “Ironically enough, it was the same election campaign which destroyed Barry Goldwater as a political figure that promoted another conservative to a position of political prestige” (White, 1965 p. 313). Reagan’s use of persuasion was very successful in achieving his personal goal of launching his political career. Life Magazine reported “Nearly every objective student of politics who heard it (the speech) agrees it was a starmaking performance”(Dulahan & Lambert, 1966 p. 71).

Last year we showed you a great looking creepy trailer for a short film starring Doug Jones (Hellboy) called The Candy Shop. The full 30-minute short film can now be seen in it's entirety.
In the film Jones plays a crazy looking Willy Wonka type character that specializes in kidnapping little girls and thrusting them into child sex trafficking. This film was shot extremely well, but it definitely deals with a very serious and scary subject matter. The movie was actually made to help spread awareness that this kind of thing is going on in our society. Here is a note from the films creator Brandon McCormick,
Jimmy Balcom’s new job selling newspapers is a God-send to a kid working hard to help his family survive during the depression. But then Jimmy figures out what’s happening in the candy shop across the street. And he is confronted with a choice that no twelve-year-old should ever have to face. Giving his family a better life, or keeping his soul.
Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) stars as the Candy Shop owner in this original film from Whitestone Motion Pictures in conjunction with Street Grace.
The Candy Shop is a film initiative to help fight against child sex trafficking.
This film is being made for the Doorpost Film Project, and with support from 12Stone® Church and Street Grace. The Candy Shop is a Fairytale/Parable about the child sex trafficking epidemic that has overrun our city of Atlanta. We are using the film to not only raise awareness but provoke meaningful action towards this issue taking place in our own backyard.
Up to 500 underaged girls a month are trafficked for sex here in our city of Atlanta. It’s the number one city in the country for child sex trafficking.. The 10th in the world.
This plague has gone on for too long, and now we at Whitestone, in cooperation with Doorpost, 12Stone® Church and StreetGrace want to put a stop to it.
This film represents the spearhead of a citywide and possibly a nationwide campaign. It is not a documentary. It is not a PSA. It is the beginning of a movement.
Visit the Street Grace website to find out more information and get involved directly.
The subject matter for this is scary as hell, especially as a guy who has daughters of his own. I had no idea that child sex trafficking was this bad in our country. I will do what I can to help. Watch the film below and tell us what you think.
Here's a documentary related to the film:

1) Is the Federal Reserve Engaged in Acts of Economic Warfare Against America?
“If the actions pursued by the Federal Reserve were being masterminded by Al-Qaeda, they would be denounced as acts of war. In World War II, such actions were deliberate acts of war. Targeting the economy for destruction by flooding the money supply with counterfeit currency is, by any measure, a threat to any nation.”
2) Meet the World’s New Reserve Currency: The Chinese Yuan
“Surely, the present financial malaise which has its roots in Wall Street and at the Federal Reserve, has demonstrated that the dollar must be replaced as the world’s “reserve currency” and that America must be deposed as the de facto steward of the global economic system. Leadership implies responsibility and the US must be held to account for its failings. It’s time for a change.”
3) Zeitgeist: The Addendum
“Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other “establishment” notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part.”
If people’s beliefs are invested in lies and delusions, how will they know the truth when they hear it? And how do you inform people when they refuse to believe the truth?
IT’s TIME FOR an ECONOMIC COLLAPSE!
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to watch ‘”Zeitgeist: The Addendum”
- the follow-up to the “Zeitgeist” video. Though the 2-hour video is
freely available on their web site, I purchased the DVD for $7.00 (which
includes postage) and after watching it – purchased an additional 10
copies for friends and family. Even if you haven’t yet seen the initial
“Zeitgeist” video – be sure to check out the sequel for a superb
behind-the-curtain look at how and why the current monetary system is in
reality a crime against humanity. And though I still believe that
technology is the product of a cosmic virus infecting our program – after
watching “The Addendum” – I can now see a theoretical cure for the
contamination. But the bottom line is still the same: All the old corrupt
institutions need to totally collapse before any new spiritual programming
can begin. And the only way to insure this result is for everyone to stop supporting these activities by refusing to pay taxes.

My other project is a space opera that will not leave me alone. The main character, Camber Maypole, whispers to me all the time, and, she being a disembodied refugee from a dying Earth, is rather insistent in what she has to tell me. Here’s the opening of the novel as it sits now:
Skin was the organ people missed the most. It was sensitive to the minutest change in pressure, responsive to the gentlest breath blown across the small hairs on the arm or the back of the neck. Gooseflesh raised by a cold dive into a mountain lake, caressed by the sun on a warm summer day, a lover’s kiss. No holographic sensory system yet built could duplicate it. Because to feel, one had to be real.
Camber Maypole strode into the board meeting wearing nothing but the carbon skeleton of her print. She carried a small culture tray bearing the fruit of the past ten year’s labor. She’d practiced this pitch for days and she was ready for battle.
I have read some great books this spring, and would love to share them with you. In terms of novels, the one that grabbed me and didn’t let go was “The Quantum Thief” by Hannu Rajiniemi. Brilliant, funny, with more twists than the path of a subatomic particle in an atom smasher. The science is high level and there are no training wheels, Hannu just dives right in. Beautifully written. I also thoroughly enjoyed “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline. He writes with humor in a very different style that reads quite easily.
Happy reading, sunbathing, and generally soaking up the summer.

“God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food. Amen.”
Probably a prayer that you learned early in life if you grew up with church in your childhood. We learn to pray at an early age and we teach our children to pray as soon as we can. We said a prayer of confession, repentance, and faith as we began our relationship with Christ, the “sinner’s prayer” as we call it. Prayer is the first spiritual discipline that we pick up on. We’ve done it most of our lives, we believe in it, we know that we that should do it. The concept isn’t hard to grasp, the practice isn’t hard to learn, yet a solid prayer life is so difficult to have. Speaking honestly, I’ve struggled with prayer. Part of my profession is praying for others…yet in no way do I believe that I’m a professional at it. Sometimes I drift off and ramble in my prayer. Sometimes I try to shape my prayers with exaggerated and eloquent speech. Sometimes I have no idea what to pray. And shamefully I admit that sometimes I don’t want to pray and just don’t pray. I’m hoping I’m not the only one! I also don’t think that I’m the only one who wants a rich prayer life. I want to see the Lord answer my prayer. I want Him to be pleased with my prayer life. I want prayer to be a serious and vital part of my life.
Something Jesus said about prayer caught my eye recently and I want to share with you some things I thinks Jesus wants us to understand about this simple and powerful spiritual discipline.
Matthew 7:7-117) “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8) For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9) Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10) Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11) If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
I’ll discuss some thoughts about this passage over the next couple weeks, but let’s start with this…
Prayer is Born Out of a Need
“ask, seek, and knock”The most basic reason that we pray is that we need something. You ask for something you don’t have. You seek for something because you don’t possess it. You knock on a door because you want what is on the other side of the door. There are a lot of reasons we pray: thanksgiving, praise, adoration. But the most basic reason is that we have needs. There things in our lives that we cannot do on our own, otherwise we would not have to ask, seek, or knock
Prayer admits at least 3 basic things about our need:
· It Admits Our Weakness – we usually pray because a need has risen in our lives that either too intense for us to bear with sanity or because the solution and answer is out of our power and hands, we cannot do it.
· It Admits His Power – that He can supply what we need
· It Admits His Control – things and matters are ultimately out of our control. Prayer confesses that He is in control.
Some of you are facing a need in your life that you cannot handle on your own. Your power is insufficient, you’ve done all you can, but it’s out of your control. Prayer is the solution to your dilemma.
· Here’s what I’ve often thought when I get to a dilemma where I tried everything I can, but realized things are out of my hands: “Well, ya should have gone to him in the first place and maybe you wouldn’t be where you are!”…maybe this is true, but I’m not sure it matters to God as to how you got to him, but that you have finally brought it to him.
· Prayer is transaction of the offering of your need to a God who can supply all your needs.
We have a need, and we have a God who can, who wants to, and who will meet that need if we ask, seek, and knock…
The Bible is full of examples of talented, faithful, mighty people who did incredible things for God but also deeply needed and used prayer. Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Elijah, Daniel, etc. Great men with great needs, who at some point in their journey realized their weakness, his power and his control.
Bottom line is this: we are people with lots of real needs. Things that we can’t do, questions we don’t know the answers to, and necessities that we cannot get. That’s why we pray, because we need him. We are weak. We need a powerful and able God to intervene in our chaos and mess. We need his help. We need what only he can give. Things are spinning out of our control, but they are not out of his control. He is in control. So, ask, seek, and knock. Jesus tells us to, he encourages us to, he want us to!

We provide online and face-to-face courses in research skills and software, to researchers of all experience levels. Our training will enable you to work smarter, and help you produce an outstanding piece of research that will impress your examiners and peer reviewers. Courses are taught by experienced researchers – we don’t just teach research, we’re actively engaged in the process ourselves and understand the challenges involved.
Our online courses are presented live and you can ask the facilitator questions in real time as you learn. You don’t need any special software to attend – just click a link and you’ll be in the course. Face-to-face courses are held in our Auckland office – maximum class size is five participants, so there’s lots of individual attention. Any course can be customised for your organisation or research team – contact us to discuss your requirements.
Can’t make the course date(s)? We can arrange individual tuition, or you can purchase a recording of a previous session to watch at your convenience. We’d like to make it as easy as possible for you to upskill in the areas you need – just let us know what we can do to help!
What people say about our training
As a lecturer I really appreciated how Lyn made us all feel like a group on a journey together during the webinar, even though we couldn't see and hear each other. She did a great job of navigating a group that had a range of NVivo experience, and a range of expectations. I liked every part of the experience - Andrew on the message system; getting to 'put up my hand'; just learning about how to participate in a webinar was great - it was seriously good fun! I really liked that it was quick, snappy, and focussed on some clever stuff I was still trying to work out myself.
When I booked [the online training course] I wondered if it would be value for money, and it definitely is. You can waste so much time and effort without knowing those tips and tricks. I taught myself NVivo with a book from the library but for the more advanced features it’s better to be shown tips by an expert. It helps that you are a researcher who can really vouch for the value of certain software features.
I was a newbie to statistical analysis but gained enough knowledge from the session to begin my data analysis. The accompanying booklet you handed out has been invaluable!! It was an informative, well organised, and non-stressful learning workshop which I will be highly recommending to other postgrad students.
This course has great structure and the ability to watch the recording again is super! I found that the time flew and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to click along on my own sample project and then I could relax on other parts to do later with the recording.
The workshop last week was an absolute highlight for both of us. It was reassuring and inspiring all at the same time. We learned a lot and I’ve already ordered three of the texts you recommended. You are an excellent facilitator, and we enjoyed meeting the other participants. It’s not often we get to just sit for a day and think about methodology. We enjoyed it so much.
Firstly being able to "attend" the course online was a huge advantage for me. The delivery was clear, and went step by step through the process. All questions were answered and even though this was by distance it was as though the tutor was in the room with us and we were all heard and acknowledged. Before the course I was feeling overwhelmed and lacking in confidence as to where to begin my text analysis. This course has cemented the process for me and I have the confidence and assurance now to move on.

Frequently asked questions
You can pay either by credit card or via invoice. If paying online with a credit card, your place will be confirmed instantly and you’ll be emailed a GST receipt once the transaction completes. If you choose to pay by invoice, our system will email you an invoice that you can pay by internet banking or purchase order (your place will only be confirmed once payment has been received).
Here at Academic Consulting we prefer face-to-face training (we like to see your smiling faces!), but the reality is that busy researchers often don’t have time to attend face-to-face courses. To resolve this, we provide live online training courses so that you can attend wherever you are. All you’ll need is an internet connection and some kind of computer – be it laptop, desktop or mobile device. The courses are run in real time so even though we can’t see you, we can immediately respond to your questions as we go through the course. Still not sure about online courses? Check out our blog post that dispels some myths about online training.
No special equipment is required to attend our courses, but you will need a stable internet connection. If you’re in an open plan office you might like to wear headphones, and if you’re attending one of our software courses then having dual monitors can be helpful (but isn’t a requirement). On the day, simply click your unique link to attend (this will have been emailed through to you beforehand) and this will connect you to the session.
Any of our training courses can be run as a one-on-one session – this can be arranged at a time convenient to you, either face-to-face or online. Contact us to discuss this further. Alternatively, if it’s an online training course you’re interested in, we sell recordings of previous sessions – please contact us if you would like to purchase a recording.
Our face-to-face training is held in our Auckland CBD office – Level 2, Southern Cross Building, 59 High Street. The best car parking option is Victoria Street Car Park (immediately opposite our building), and Britomart is just a 10-minute walk away if you’re arriving by bus or train.
Note that if you’ve enrolled in a face-to-face training course through your University, you will need to contact them directly for venue details.
Researchers at all stages of the research process, from novice researchers through to those with experience who need to learn a new skill for a specific project. Course attendees are from a wide range of disciplines, and while many of those we work with are from academic backgrounds, we also assist corporate and public sector researchers.
Absolutely! Any of our training courses can be customised to your research team, department, or postgraduate students. Whether you’re wanting a one-off course or a series of courses to increase the research capacity within your organisation, we’re more than happy to discuss your needs and recommend a suitable programme. Contact us for further information.
Cancellations or postponements must be notified at least two working days prior to the day of the course. Refunds will incur an administration charge of $50. Cancellations received within two working days will not be refunded. You are welcome to send a colleague in your place if you are no longer able to attend.

California Anesthesiologist Arrested In Sexual Assault Of Patients
Last month Dr. Yashwant Giri, a 58-year-old anesthesiologist from Orange County, Ca.,* was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two female patients while they were under anesthesia, one of them a 16-year-old, while they were undergoing surgery at Placentia-Linda Hospital in Placentia.
The most recent case involved a 36-year-old patient in March, while the incident with the 16 y/o occurred in 2009 and was never reported to police, despite being witnessed and reported by hospital employees.*
*”These acts occurred when the patients themselves were under anesthesia, so the victims themselves aren’t going to know it,” said Placentia Police Det. Corinne Loomis. “The investigation that the hospital says they did in 2009 in their opinion was inconclusive,” Loomis said. “The doctor denied the allegations and they didn’t believe they had enough to substantiate, so they concluded there wasn’t anything more to do with it.”*
In a statement, a hospital official said: … (Continued...)

I have always enjoyed cooking, but never did much of it. Cooking for one hardly seemed worth the effort or the leftovers. Finding recipes that were varied without having to buy the entire grocery store to make them, food going bad, too many leftovers — the list goes on for reasons not to cook. The bottom line: cooking wasn’t important to me.*
There must be some “nesting” chemical that was released in my brain after I said “I do” almost a month ago. Seemingly suddenly, I had a desire to have a home-cooked meal on the table each night. I’ve made lasagna, baked a turkey, made turkey gumbo. We have also made Asian Duck Tacos, Beef Moussaka, Curried Redfish Roti, Brown Butter Chicken with Apple Celery Root Slaw and Redfish with Harissa. On the menu for later this week: Turkey Sausage with Squash and Squid Ink Pasta with Calamari.
Yes, we have made all of those complicated-sounding dishes on weeknights at our house. I think I have found the perfect solution to meal preparation that addresses all the issues that have kept me from cooking in the past: Plated.
I fell victim to Plated after seeing it as a “suggested page” in my Facebook feed many times over. It looked promising: complete meals for two with all the ingredients pre-measured and ready to cook. Two plates worth for $24. Going to the grocery store to buy ingredients to make a meal for two comes in close to that amount. I pick the dishes from a menu, a box arrives at my door (on either Wednesday or Saturday for my zip code), and I order two meals at a time. I am addicted. The recipes are easy to follow. The food is good. And my friends are jealous of my dinner photos and have even asked “where are you?” as if I had ordered from a restaurant. So at least two nights a week for the last three weeks, we have been eating Plated meals. We are now planning our meals around Plated deliveries and our schedule each week. Planned home-cooked meals may not last forever — we are still newlyweds, after all — but Plated will continue to be a delivery if I am in charge of meals.
*It should be noted that my husband is a fantastic cook and has been cooking for me; I have not been eating fast food every night.

Okay – so I’m not doing to bad at the challenge itself, but I’m doing a horrible job of posting about it. I can’t share many details but the last several days have been tough. There has been job loss, broken vehicles and appliances, and worst of all, we lost a very dear family friend.
I’m juggling so many things right now that I feel like my head may explode. Before you fuss at me for posting at all, I know this post (or series) is not important in the big scheme of things, but I’m suffering from insomnia so writing gives me something to do and something else to focus on that’s not so hard… so here I am.
On Saturday I got up, delivered my only cake order (above), then came home to rest. That night, my two oldest boys cooked supper. My husband was working and I didn’t feel great so I told them it was their responsibility. They did an amazing job of making Red Beans & Rice with Sausage (completely from scratch). YUM! (we have lots of chicken and sausage in our freezer, so you might see a recurring theme with our meals 😉
And I also know this – I didn’t spend any money Saturday. YAY!
Sunday our church planned an impromptu Super Bowl viewing after our Sunday evening service. They asked us to all bring finger foods/drinks so we ran to town for lunch after church (again, Richy was working) and stopped by the dollar store for drinks, chips and dip. I also brought extra cupcakes to the party (those look like football cupcakes, right? 😉 )… and the Triscuits I bought the day before.
Money spent: $40.32 (I know – it’s a lot but we bring a lot of extra bodies to any party so I always feel the need to bring lots of whatever.)
Monday was another “impromptu” day. My brother and his wife decided to host “Taco Night” with family and neighbors! I had planned chicken for supper so I decided to make Chicken Enchiladas to take to the get-together (based on what I thought I had in my pantry)!
Unfortunately, I realized I didn’t have tortillas or salsa verde on hand after I told my brother I’d bring a huge pan of enchiladas… so when in town for Girl Scouts, I stopped by the grocery store and grabbed those two things plus 2 loaves of bread and 2 gallons of milk*.
Money spent: $25.51
Tuesday was another no-spend day. Which was easy – because I didn’t leave the house! 🙂
And that’s it… you’re caught up on the last 4 days!
Days spending 6-9: $65.83
Total for February so far: $180.33 (8 gallons of milk so far… so about a gallon a day?!)*
*Recently someone asked me how much milk a family of 8 drank and I guessed 6-8 gallons a week. I thought it would be fun to track it this much and see how much we actually use!

K-State grade card
Offense — K-State was fairly one dimensional, but the one dimension was Daniel Thomas, and he rushed for a career-high 234 yards. So that was good. William Powell provided an effective change of pace, and K-State rushed for 313 yards in the game. Grade: B-plus.
Defense — A few first-game hiccups aside, this was a solid performance. K-State hounded quarterback Kevin Prince into a 9-for-26 performance, sacking him five times and intercepting him twice. UCLA found sporadic success on the ground, but K-State adjusted to the Bruins' pistol formation and kept UCLA in check. The only blemish was a defensive meltdown that allowed the Bruins to score in two plays inside the final two minutes. Grade: B-plus.
Special teams — New kicker Anthony Cantele was flawless in his first game, sending kickoffs deep into the end zone and drilling a 35-yard field goal. The Wildcats didn't surrender any big special teams plays, but they didn't really create any, either. Grade: B
Coaching — Snyder doesn't care for these high-profile season openers, but you couldn't tell from watching the Wildcats on Saturday. K-State was ready to play, and the Wildcats adjusted when UCLA started grinding out yardage with its "revolver' offense. A few penalties and miscues aside, this was a strong first-game performance. Grade: A.
Snyder swaps kickers
Ten minutes after he won a starting job, Anthony Cantele was launching the opening kickoff deep into the end zone.
That was the sequence of events according to Snyder, though it may be a slight exaggeration. Cantele, a sophomore transfer from Missouri State, said he got an inkling earlier this week that he would handle K-State's kicking duties. He was perfect on PAT attempts and drilled his only field goal attempt, a 35-yarder in the third quarter.
"Thirty-five (yards) from the middle — can't get much easier than that," Cantele said.
Josh Cherry, K-State's incumbent kicker, was hampered by injuries during training camp, Cantele said.
Powell packs punch
This was Daniel Thomas' show, but William Powell excelled in a supporting role. The shifty senior running back gained 72 yards on six carries, including a 28-yard touchdown run, and offered an effective change of pace.
"He's a powerful runner who breaks a lot of tackles," Powell said. "I just wanted to get out there and show a little quickness and do what I could."
Ethan Douglas, who won K-State's right tackle job when starter Clyde Aufner went down in camp, suffered an injury of his own early in the game. He left with an apparent injury to his left knee and was replaced by Zach Hanson.
"He'll have to have an MRI," Snyder said. "Right now, it's identified as a sprain, but we'll have to wait and see."
K-State quick kicks
— Daniel Thomas' 234-yard performance was the 12th 200-yard game and the fifth-highest single-game performance in school history.
— The announced crowd of 51,059 was the largest ever for a K-State home opener, surpassing last year's mark of 50,750. It also was the 15th-largest crowd in Snyder Family Stadium history.

It certainly looks as though Texan newcomer Leon Bridges was incubated in some major-label laboratory. Retro soul is some of the most profitable material currently being exported, and the 25-year-old seems precision-engineered, having emerged suddenly in just-so trousers, with a voice that echoes Sam Cooke’s. The 10 songs of his debut are unabashedly old-school: romantic, easygoing, some fast, some slow; pitched at a market that seems insatiable when it comes to the comfort of music that harks back to a simpler age.
The truth is stranger. Bridges was pushed into a studio by two of White Denim, a Texan psych-punk band who had begun hoarding vintage analogue gear. Coming Home was recorded virtually live in a studio thrown together for the purpose.
Bridges’s voice comes from his own old soul. Better Man finds him striving to be a better man to his baby. (He loves her better than all those “Jezebels” lurking “under perfumed sheets”.) Perky with brass and syncopated shimmy, Smooth Sailin’ makes the case that Bridges might make a worthy mate. Shine, meanwhile, finds him asking for his transgressions to be forgiven (those Jezebels, at a guess). Every one of these three-minute time capsules is operated with joy and ease, Bridges’s nimble way with a vocal melody matched by his band’s light touch, a little lag on the beat here, a surprise organ melody there.
When Bridges was growing up, the only records allowed in the house were gospel, or pop free from profanity or disrespect to women. His debt to his mother is laid out in Lisa Sawyer, a loving potted biography of the woman who raised him. The influence of her New Orleans roots is palpable throughout Coming Home, as much of a slinky dancing record as it is a smiling-and-nodding record. But her own influence is far greater.
There remains an issue with the treacle-like flow of Coming Home, and all its vintage ilk, fixated on romance – from Adele via Sam Smith to Norah Jones. It looks no further than the singer’s navel, blind to wider woes: not an accusation that you could level against Marvin Gaye or Curtis Mayfield. Music’s historical role as a social disrupter is looking old hat of late.
This conservatism, though, seems more like borderline radicalism when re-cast against some of the more lurid, sexist, frenzied Autotune excesses of R&B 2.0. (And I say this as someone who really likes a lot of them.) Coming Home is, perhaps, a healthy reiteration of the classic sounds of succour in a time of need; a principled and mellifluous nay-saying.

Suzie was very helpful from the time we made the booking until we left. She was always available if we had any questions and check in and check out were super easy.
It is an amazing place with incredible views over the Hunter.
Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!
Beautiful location and views. Hosts were very kind and hospitable, providing complimentary home made hot cross buns for our Easter weekend, fresh eggs, and a bottle of wine. The place was clean and cosy, and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back again!
Berenbell Vineyard is absolutely amazing. It was peaceful and beautiful and the accomodation was so clean, comfortable and cosy. We loved that it was cold so we could use the fireplace. We had a great time and would definitely stay at Berenbell again.
Susie & Ken, the owners & hosts warmly welcomed us & happily ensured all our needs were met throughout our stay.
We enjoyed the uniqueness & tranquility of staying amidst the picturesque vineyards in a cosy & well appointed cottage, of which the Surrounding gardens ensured our privacy.
Beautiful views and setting. We have stayed in the Hunter a lot and this would have to be one of the best views. The owners don’t skip a beat and the accommodation has everything you need, they are terrific hosts. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting the perfect stay in the Hunter.
I can't rave enough about how incredible my stay here was with my partner. The owners were extremely welcoming and went beyond to make it a warm stay. Would 100% recommend to everyone and will be coming back here next time I come to the Hunter. Really impressed!
This property is absolutely gorgeous. We spent just a weekend but it definitely impressed. We felt very spoilt by the owners: excellent hospitality, great service, care of details.
The cottage was spotless, fridge full of goodies, they provide all you need.
In the morning (very early though) we had kangaroos having a little wrestle on the lawn in front of the porch.
Private electric barbecue (that either was very clean or we were the first ones to ever used it!!) enjoying the sunset colours.
If you’re after a romantic and peaceful gateway this is the place. We will definitely be back!
This is the second time we’ve been back to Berenbell Vineyard Retreat and I think it’ll be the only place we will ever stay at! The owners are absolutely lovely and the location and rooms are perfect. It feels like you’re in the middle of no where with how it is set out and has such a cosy feel to it! It is so well kept and has such a homey feel and look to it, we absolutely love it.
We had the most incredible stay at Berenbell. The Lodge is fantastic, spread over two spacious floors. Comfy beds and a great living room area perfect for wine and cheese after a long day at the wineries. The location is stunning and there are outdoor tables that allow you to eat your breakfast in the sun overlooking the vineyards and hills. Very close to all our favourite vineyards too, so you could walk between a fair few if you don’t have any other transport.
Most noteworthy though is the fantastic welcome we got by the lovely hosts. They went over and beyond to make us feel welcome and to tell us about the Valley. There was a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge on arrival and a bit of breakfast for the morning. When the hosts learned we were going to spend the second morning there for brekky they treated us to sparkling wine and more orange juice so that we could make mimosas.
Extra bonus is the cute doggo Ginger who lives on the grounds. She is super friendly but likes to keep her distance.
Can’t really see us staying anywhere else in the valley after visiting Berenbell.
We’ll be back!
What a gorgeous place to stay. The owners were very lovely and accommodating. The outlook is amazing with 180 degree unfettered views of mountains and vineyards. The ammenities were very clean. The cabin is set privately away from other guests so you feel like you’re the only ones there. Would highly recommend and we will be coming back next time we are in the Hunter Valley.
Berenbell Vineyard Retreat was everything we wanted for our escape to the Hunter. A great location, Beautiful property, amazing sunsets and perfect little cottages. Ken and Suzie were amazing hosts, great with communication and so friendly. We will certainly be looking to book again.
Lovely, clean, spacious 2 bed cottage (duplex). Only 3 other cottages on site. Great outlook and handy to lots of vineyards. Can even walk to Thomas Wines and Estate Tuscany restaurant. Plenty for a continental breakfast, including fresh eggs.
The balloons were out this weekend too! Sunrise, sunset and kangaroos provided a beautiful backdrop and excitement for our English visitors.
Suzie and Ken also suggested sites to visit for a good view and even sculptures.
Hubby & I enjoyed a relaxing weekend here to celebrate his birthday & unwind from a stressful year. Beautiful area, gorgeous cottage, & stunning views. We were treated to kangaroo visits at dusk & dawn. There was plenty of birdlife too. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean with a huge, comfy bed, & every amenity we needed (even an espresso machine). This retreat is in close proximity to wineries & restaurants with a bike/track nearby. Highly recommended!
The first thing we noticed was how peaceful and quiet this location was. This was due to being down the end of a no exit road as well as being in the 'country' but so close and convenient to everywhere. We stayed in one of the 3 one bedroom cottages. Clean, tidy and had everything needed.
Kangaroos in the morning, hot air ballooning came by early..very spectacular!
Would definitely stay again!

This was my second time working with Jeff and Marcy, the first being the Bar Mitzvah of their son Daniel, and this one, the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter Leah. It is no coincidence that both events were held at Kat Man Du in Trenton, New Jersey, as the venue is unique, fun, and offers a beautiful view of the Delaware river (besides doing a stellar job).
As was before, Marcy and Jeff were a pleasure to work with, and Leah was a pure delight. She was an up-beat kid who not only had some great ideas when it came to planning the Bat Mitzvah, but came ready to party (and so did her friends!) Leah’s friends were fun, danced non-stop, and participated in every game and activity with super-enthusiasm. The adults were all about it as well, and were dancing almost as much as the kids (although, as adults do, they stopped to eat and drink every so often). DJ Adam and Cameron did a great job keeping the music pumping, while the kids climbed on the stage doing line dances and dance routines and just bursting with energy. Our dancers Stephanie and Nate did an awesome job of keeping everyone involved, coordinating with the DJ, and making sure even the little kids got lots of the party giveaways.
It was also great working with photographer Mike Schwartz, and Michael – head honcho over at Kat Man Du – who is the utmost professional and runs a tight operation. Kat Man Du is an operating nightclub that offers it’s venue for afternoon affairs before club hours start. I think kids really like it’s fun atmosphere, which makes it a great venue for Bat Mitzvahs, Bar Mitzvahs and Sweet 16 parties alike. Thanks to Michael and your amazing team at Kat Man Du.
Last but certainly not least, thanks to Jeff and Marcy for being so much fun to work with, and really helping us to make this Bat Mitzvah a success.
And, of course, Mazel Tov to Leah. You and your friends rock!
